paper bears tho name of Jamos LoDg, presi
dent of the Union Trust. Long r ays that
he does not know how much of tho piper
has been forged, but the forged paper has
been estimated at three-fourths of the en
tire amount. In Addition to the amounts
mentioned, there is supposed to bo a large
amount of paper afloat, which bears only
the firm's name. Tho rumor that James
Hunter took the 6teamer for Brazil yester
day gained ground this morning, as nothing
has been heard from him since Tues
day when ho left the city ostensibly for
New York.
There is naturally great anxiety among
business men with whom Jamos and John
Hunter had dealings to know whether or
not their names have been used after tho
manner that Mr. LoDg’s has, and time can
only bring out this fact. Tuere is said to
be quite a large amount of tbo firm’s own
account, and there is a prevailing opinion
that Joo. Hunter has been involved in com
plete financial ruin by his brother's misdo
ings. Since John Hunter became receiver
of taxes several years ago, ho has devoted
his whole time to tho dnties of that office,
leaving tho business entirely in tho hands
of his brother. President Rommel, of the
Mechanics’ National Bxnk, said to-day that
his bank had the notes of James & John
Hunter, bearing Long's name, to an aggre
gate of about $00.0 0, but that Long had
o decide which

A Youth Who Swindled n Slmplr-Mlnded
Woumi, in lie-order Smyth's Name.
New York Iloreld.
Recorder Smyth received not long ago a
letter and a five dollar bill from a woman
who signed herself Mrs. Kolb, of No. 221
Chrvstie street, asking him to accept the
enel- led amount in part payment of *100
should he succeed in breaking the charm
that enslaved a olergjman of St. Augus
tine’s Chapel to ono of his parishioners.
The writer oonffssed that she loved tho
clergj man dearly and know that the affec
tion w-ai rcoiprooated, but an obstacle stood
in the way iu the person of this hated rival.
Recorder Smyth sent for tho writer of the
letter and administered a severe rebuke for
sending him such an epistle. He also
threatened to open court that if she
bothered him again with any such cranky
communications he would piaco her in a
lunatic asylum,
Charles R. Wood, a stripling from Chi
cago, read the facta in tho newspapers tho
following day. Ho called upon Mrs. Kolb,
tcld her that ho was Recorder Smyth's pri
vate secretary, that while tho Jadge ap
peared harsh npon tho bench ho really was
interested in hor case, but was compelled
to act roughly before the publio so that
they would not snspeot him of accepting
the $100. The yonng man to farther na-
*nre the lady of tho Recorder's good faith
agreed to accept as much of tho *100 ns she
was » filing to pay just there and then. All
Mr*. Kolb had nbout her waa *20, bnt this
amount she parted with willingly. She
gave an order on tho Osceola Rank of Flor
ida for the balance.
Notwithstanding these assurances of tho
recorder's good faith and tho payment of
tho money, the spell remained unbroken.
In the mind of Mrs. Kolb the clergyman
held aloof as much as ever. But her faith
io the recorder never weakened. She fan
cied that all such things needed time. To
stir him np. however, she wrote a second
letter. Tnts time, an apoiogouo ono. sho
said she was sorry to have disturbed his
honor's serenity Dy her appearance in the
court room, bnt she would take his private
secretary's advice and meet him in seoret
next time. She complimented hiB “nice”
secretary, to whom, she said, she paid tho
money, and wound np by telling tho re
corder how much sho loved the clergyman,
who was a prisoner in the wiles of her
listed rival.
Recorder Smith saw at a glance that the
woman had been made a dope by somo
sharper. Ho sent for Inspector Byrnoa and
said, very earnestly, “Get me that fellow,
Byrnes.”
The inspector got him through Sergeant
McLooghlin at the corner of Bowery and
Rivington Btreat and brought him to the
Mulberry street “confessional” The pris
oner gave his name as Charles R. Wood,
and said he was the son of a clothing mer
chant in Chicago. He, said he quarrelled
with his father and left homo because of bis
stepmother. He confessed to the inspec
tor that, npon reading the story in the pa-
pors, ho thought thoro was a chance to
li nk.. - hundred,” andsuoceedod.
Rut w.it unlit tho yonth of twenty goes
before Recorder Smyth!
He will feel sad at having utilizod tho
■golden opportunity.

A Call on 31. Do Lesseps.
Puls Lein r to tbs London World.
This morning, happening to pass 11 Avo-
nuo Montaigne, I called on the Grand Fran
cois. “Yon will find M. do Leaseps in the
court yard with the children,” said tho man
servant on duty at the door, nnd without
farther omvtoony I vnlkra through the
passage leading to a spacious stable yard,
covered with looso gravel, whero 1 found
the patriarch giving a riding lesson to two
of hi t daughtt rv, Mile*. Helene and Holango.
Vi'w-ring n Tij-.bt overcoat and a brown
check polo oap, the more than octogenarian
isthmus-piercer was cracking a
long circus whip and making
the little black ponies trot and gal
lop; now running after tbia one, now alter
that one, giving advice In firm tones, aotive
and gay as a man of twenty. In the Les-
seps family each child, os soon os he or sho
measures thirty Inches high, is put on tho
back of a pony and trained by the fa'her to
figure with honor in the equestrian battal
ion which tho Parisians hi.ve become aeons-
tomed to look for daily in the Bols de Bon
logne. The vitality of M. doLesseps is
really marvelous, and, in spite of his age,
he soemB to make no effort to dl
minlah tho wear and tear of his
daily life. He rides, works, dines ont,
and makes apeeohes about the Panama
Canal as tudefatigably as over. On Tnos-
day he ia going to Berlin to spend twenty-
four hour*. “Is It true that yon have i

London, March 24.—In tho Hoqbo of
Commons this evening tho debate on tho
motion for urgency tor tbo coercion hill
waa resumed by Mr. Gladstone. He re
ferred to the unprecedented patience of the
Uonse, which had already sat two months,
anting which, he said, its independent ini
tiative had been suppressed. Even now
the Conservatives txnlted over the prospect
of passing a motion forcing the ilousoto
tho ahsolnto surrender of its whole time
nntil a bill of sn extremely severe character
has been carried. Tho House was threat
ened with tho frequent application of the
clotnrs. If debates were protracted no
greater calamity conld befall ns than this
sort of pressnro. It woald sap tho author
ity of tho chair and bring the procedure
rules of the House into disrepato. He had
seen more parliamentary lifo than any other
man in tho Honse, bnt ho novor
knew of so grave a state of affairs. It w as
dno to an extreme abuse of power by the
majority, which, if persisted in, would tenvo
behind a sense of intolerable wrong. The
yoke thns pat on the neck of the Honse
would not be homo patiently. The posi
tion of affairs now was very different from
that when the coercion bill of 1881 was
passed. Tbero were no papers before the
House now, nor was there any indication
of the natnro of the proposed government
measure. 1 li-r.-tofur--, m a-t.mg i-ial
legislation dealing with enmo in Ireland,
minister* had tri. .1 to show th.it the t rri-
bie prevalence of crlmo threatened social
order. Was that tho case now? No. Tbo
Ilonse bad been told that tbo number of
aggravated offenses, prior to the passage of
Forster's coercion not, exoeeded tno highest
number linos. Crime than, however, was
of a different character from that which
the government now sought to check.
Present crime consisted in combining to
obtain a reduction of rent [Irish
cheers.] Even the evidonco which tho
government put before tho Houso showed
tbat this ornno was restricted to
demands for just abatements of rent Never
had any former coercion act been resisted
by a majority of the members from Ireland.
[Cheers. J Now tbero was a protest against
conroion from an overwhelming majority of
Irish members. [Cheer*. ] Iliui tho*govern-
111 lit any just claim t'-nh inamlmg coere.on
or urgency tor tho new repressive measure?
After appointing n commission to examine
on tbo Bpot tbo rent question and the evils
arising irom tho land laws, the government
now pnt aside the reoolnmondation of tho
commission and asked Parliament for in
creased power to mako the laws still moro
offensive to the general sense o( the peoplo.
[Irish cheers.] General Buffer's evidonco
proved that tenants now paying rent were
anxious to pay, that thero was no gen
eral movement against tbs payment
rent, bnt a combined effort to
obtain fair rents. Tho Irish people were
apt to follow tho example constantly set by
others, and see what they conld make ont
ot exclusive dealing. [Omr] Tks iM
eminent said that contracts should not be
broksD, yet Mr. Balfonr, while preaching
tho doctrine of sanctity of oontracts, was
going to introduce a bill breaking lease-bold
oontracts adjusted under the land set of
1881, jast as judicial recta were. It waa
not to vindicate the sanction ot contrasts
nor to repress a widespread outbreak of
crime that the government now d-muiuled
ccorolon tor Iroiand. Of whatever naturo
the government measure ehonld turn out to
he, it was the duty ot Liberals now, wheth
er in minority or in majority, to refuse
urgency. He trusted that the people ot Rag
land would sco the Liberals united in oppos
ing this ill-omened measure, and that the
voices ot tho Liberal members wonld ring
ont tor justice and roason against the gov
eminent which, after eighty-six years ot ex
perience, wero preparing, under tho name
of a statute of Parliament, to stnko a fresh
blow at the life and happiness of Ireland
and at the prosperity, contentment and
unity of the empiro. [Cheers.]
Parnell and Gladstone's denunciation of
tho clotnre, to curtail debate on the urgency
motion and coercion motioD, forced tho
government to reconsider the subject. The
ministry decided to permit a prolongation
of tho discussion, bnt will Insist that the
□ooae forego its Easter vacation unless the
coercion biff be passod before tho holidays.
A section ot tho Gladatonlan party is uis
contented with Mr. Gladstone's half-
veiled approval of too plan of
palgn. 'llio English Home llul-trs and

Mr. Balfonr, in introducing the coercion
hill, will respond tu Mr. Ola.Mom 's < li.»l
longs to the government to stato what
Mr. Montugao, tho mind reader, who has
been trying to out-do Mr. Bishop, appa
rently succeeded in doing so. Last night at
9:30 o'clock nbout fifteen reporters of the
different Now York now.q-aper ns mbled
in Mr. Dockstcad’s private ollicc, aiu tho
theater, and a few minnt' a later Mr.
Charles Howard Montagna appeared anil
proceeded to select a committee to hide tho
article.
Ono of tho gentlemen connected with tho
theatre loaned tho committee a diamond
pin. I'ln- coiimiittic then entered n coach
and woro driven rapidly down Broadway to
Seventeenth street, tlirnco to Fourth ave
nue, nnd thence to the Hotel Dam at Fif
teenth street. After passirg through tho
hall of the hotel, they went into the read
ing room nnd throngli that into another
apartment where they hid the pin behind
art aimanno calendar ou the sideboard.
•They returned immediately to the theater.
Montague was then blindfolded and led
down to the carriage in whioh the coinmit-
teo wero already seated. A common paste
board hat box was put down on his head so
aa to cover his eyes. A stick Bhapcd some
what like a cross was fastened to his right
k-eo, and it was by moving this in tho
various dirootions tbat bo claimed to divino
tlie thoughts of the committee regarding
the looation of tho pin. With hm right
hand ho held tho wrist of one of his com
panions. On tho way down to the hotel,
to which ho at 'first started with
out nny hesitation, lie balked several
times, but finally, after tho lapse of abont
twenty minutes, guided by his directions,
tbo carriage stopped right nt the floor of tho
Hotel Dam. Without hesitating for even a
single instant ho dragged two of the coin-
mitteo into the room and straight toward
the Bpot whero the pin lay hidden. It was
ont of hia reach, but ho called for a ohair
and putting hia hand behind the uaiumiur
drew it forth. After getting tho handkei-
chief off bis eyes ho neked whero he was.

I owe my extraordinary escape from
