Washington, Aug. 3 —Inasmuch as
it is conceded that the senate will be

ANOTHER FAKE STORY.
That Hanging in Kftigy cf Hoke >rolth Is
Pronounced Absolutely False.
Ripley, 6., Aug. 3.—The story sent
out from Portsmouth that Secretary
Hoke Smith was hanged in effigy at
Rome, o., last Saturday, was a fake.
Rome is a small village in Adams
county, without telegraphic communi
cation. One of the best knowu residents
is J. L. Reed, who, instead of being 83
and dependent on his pension, is the
village storekeeper, aged about GO, and
is in good circumstances. He not only
bas a store in Rome, but owns a big
farm near the town. Under a recent
ruling of the commissioner of pensions
his pension was suspended for 60 days,
but he did not become violently insane.
On the contrary he has been perfectly
rational, and is transacting business at
the corner grocery in the usual fashion.
There has been no excitement, no brass
bands, no denouncing of the president,
no burning of Secretary Smith in effigy;
and the people of Rome are laughing at
the joke perpetrated on the newspapers
that exploited the story.
A Wife And Her Whip.
Fanwood, N. J., Aug. 3.—Two wo
men driving on South avenue here
overtook a man and woman who had
been tipped out of a carriage by an ac
cident. One of the women in the sec
ond party jumped to the ground and
began to ply a whip vigorously over the
shoulders of the man’s companion, till
the latter jnmped into the carriage and
drove off alone. The third wcqnan also
drove away, and the woman with the
whip began to lash the man. After
half a dozen blows the woman ceased,
and the pair talked earnestly a few
minutes and then walked to the rail
way station. To inquiries the man re
plied that bis name was Richards, that
his home is in Rahway and that the
woman who whipped him is his wife.
Salcido of a Fifteen-Yrnr-Old Girl.
Batavia, N. Y. t Aug. 3.—The body
of Genevieve M. Shnlts. the 15-year-old
daughter of Joseph Sbults, a wealthy
citizen of Batavia, was found in To wan-
da creek by the side of « railroad bridge
at the southern limit of the village. It
is manifestly a case of suicide, although
there is no known cause.
has been bought, but unless the dealers
come to Secretary Carlisle's terms the
Sherman law will stand practically
amended to the extent of more than
one-half the purchase requirements.
Acting Director Preston estimates
the market price of silver upon the ba
sis of the ruling London rate, and the
fact that he bas been able to buy con
siderable quantities of silver at the
price which the department has tender
ed each day, has convinced Secretary
Carlisle that the method of computing
«he rate is a fair one.
The Last Debt Statement. x
Washington, Aug. 3.—The debt
statement just issued shows a net in
crease in the public debt, less cash in
the treasury, during July of $4,263,973.
The interest-bearing debt increased
$340,000; the non-interest-bearing debt
decreased $311,089 and the cash in the
treasury decreased $4,574,722.81. The
certificates and treasury notes offset by
an equal amount of cash in the treasu
ry outstanding at the end of the month
were $577,362,591, a decrease of $7,191,-
829.
The total cash in the treasury was
$732,641,707.17. The gold reserve was
$99,202,933. and net cash balance $18,-
684,634.57. ,
UNEXPECTED RELIEF.
Assaulted and Nearly Murdered.
Rochester, Minn., Aug. 3.—Thomas
Feeney, a wealthy resident of this city,
was assaulted and almost murdered
while driving in a road cart on Main
street at night by an unknown man
who jumped into the cart and drove
away. Feeney is in a precarious condi

Two senators—Stanford, of Califor
nia, and Gibson, of Louisiana, were ab
sent without pairs, but they were paired
in their views, the Californian being in
favor of free coinage ana tne Louisian
ian against it, and so nothing was lost
to either side. Leaving them out of the
calculation, therefore, and recording
the senators wLo were paired, it is
found that 45 senators favored the bill
and 41 opposed it.
The present senate shows the follow
ing changes iu its personnel: Smith,
who succeeds Blodgett of New Jersey,
will vote for repeal; Camden, who suc
ceeds Kenna, of West Virginia, is for
repeal; Allen of Nebraska, who suc
ceeds Paddock, is for free coinage;
Mantle, who is likely to lo senator
from Montana in place of Sunders, is
for free silver; Roach of North Dakota,
who succeeds Casey, is for free silver;
Lindsay, the successor of Carlisle, is
for repeal; Lodge, of Massachusetts, in
place of Dawes, is for repeal. The two
new senators from California—White
and Perkins—are believed to favor sil
ver; Murphy of New York, who suc
ceeded Hiscock, is for repeal; Martin,
of Kansas, who succeeds Perkins, is for
silver; Mitchell, who succeeds Sawrer,
of Wisconsin, is for repeal; Beckwith,
appointed from Wyoming to succeed
Warren, is for silver; Caffrey. who suc
ceeds Gibson from Louisiana, is fc>r re
peal.
A conservative poll of the senate,
taking no account .of Allen of Washing
ton, Beckwith of Wyoming, and Man
tle of Montana, who have not been seat
ed, shows 41 senators in favor of repeal
and 44 opposed without a substitute
friendly to silver.
The repeal senators are:
Aldrich. Allison, Brice, Caffrey, Cam
den. Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dixon,
Dolph, Frye, Faulkner, Gallinger, Gib
son, Gorman, Gray, Hale, Hansborougb,
Hill, Hawley. Higgins. Hoar. Lindsay,
Lodge, McMillan. McPherson, Mitch
ell (Wis.). Morrill, Miles. Murphy,
Palmer, Platt, Proctor, Quay. Sher
man, Smith, Stockbridge, Vilas, Wash
burn, Wilson, White (Da.)—41.
Those in favor of a substitute are:
Allen, Bate, Berry, Blackburn. But
ler, Call, Cameron. Carey, Cockreli,
Coke, Coiquitt, Daniel, Dubois, George,
Gordon, Harris, Hunton, Irbv. Jones
(Ark.), Jones (Nev.), Kyle. Martin,
Mitchell (Ore.), Morgan. Mau-t-rson,
Pasco, Perkins. Pfeffer. Peasgrew.
Power, Pugh. Roach, Ransom, Snonp,
Squire, Stewart, Teller, Turpie. Vauce,
Vest, Voorhees. Walthall, Wolcott and
White (Cal.)—44.
Allen, of Washington, Beckwith, of
Wyoming, and Mantle, of Montaua. are
silver men, and if seated are likely .to
vote for free coinage. It is true, how
ever, that the demand of the country
for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act is making itself felt so
strongly here that changes iu the *euate
on the subject when the vote is uucen
are reasonably to be expected.

Increase Their Circulation.
New York, Aug. 3.—A new and un
expected element of relief has been in
jected into the financial situation.
United States bonds have reached such
a low figure that the rational banks see
their way clear to make a profit by is
suing circulation against them. Ar
rangements have, therefore, been made
by some of the more prominent banks
to increase their circulation from the
minimum limit at which it now stands
to such an amount as will materially
relieve the present position. It is esti
mated that eight or ten millions of dol
lars will be so added to New York's
supply of currency within a very short
time.
Orders have already been placed with
the comptroller of the currency for
part of the new bills, and some of the
banks have bought their bonds, prepar
atory to depositing them iu Washing
ton. Among the banks that are named
as interested in the movement are the
Gallatin, Fourth, Merchants’, First,
New York and Par.c, The Fourth
National has already ordered $2,000,000
and the Gallatin about $800,000. The
latter bank has purchased $550,000 of
the bonds and the bank of New York
$300,000. The rest of the amount will
be made up among the other banks
named.

DAVIS GETS OFF LIGHTLY.
While She Other* Were Fined SI.000 by
duds* Stein, Davie Woe Charged
Only 8330—Some of Them
Were Not Fined.
Chicago, Aug. 3.—Judge Stein, of
the supreme court, decided that the
World’s Fair directors and officers who
had been directly responsible for clos
ing the exposition Sunday, July 23, had
violated the injunction granted in the
Clingman petition and were subsequent
ly guilty of contempt.
He ordered that Directors Gage,
Hutchinson, Henristin, Manally and
Kerfoot should be fined $1,000 each and
stand committed to jail until the fine
was paid.
In the case of Victor Lawson, the
court held that the officer hnd voted in
the belief that the injunction had lapsed
and was not intentionally guilty. In
view of this mitigating circumstance, a
fine of $100 was imposed.
Director General Davie
was held less directly responsible and
fined $250 with the §ame proviso in re
gard to payment. Messrs. Massey,
Forbes, St. Clair and Higginbotham
was regarded by Stein as instruments
of the directors, and were discharged.
Director Nathan was also discharged.
An Appeal Granted.
Attorney Eddy, representing the Fair
company, moved for au appeal from the
court's ruling. After argument. Judge
Stein granted the appeal.
The directors and other officers were

WHAT THE COUNTRY LOST.
▲ Close Scrutiny of the Sherman La
Would Have Saved Millions.
Washington, Aug. 3.—The month of
July closed with the silver purchase
under the Sherman law nearly 1,500,000'
below the statutory requirements of
4,500,000 ounces per month. The re
sult is owing to the refusal of the sil
ver dealers to let the secretary of the
treasury have the white metal at the
market rate, and from present indica
tions the department will have great
difficulty in procuring more than one
half the monthly requirement at the
market price for some time to come.
An examination of the records of the
bureau of the mint shows that since
the Sherman law went into effect the
government has paid between $3,500,000
and $4,000,000 in excess of the market
rate for the silver bought under the
clause requiring the secretary to pur
chase 4,500,000 ounces per month. This
large sum might all have been saved to
the government if the secretary of the
treasury had taken the trouble to care
fully examine the provisions of tbe law
and especially the clause qualifying
the mandate to purchase.
This danse “at the market price** is
the one of which Secretary Carlisle and
acting Director of the Mist Preston
have availed themselves daring the cur
rent month. The result has not oul7
been a great saving to the government
in the price paid, for the silver which
