talo roughs contemplated raid upon the
frontier. A squad OF police were immedi-
ately detached to protect the river between
Buffalo and Niagara Falls. A company OF
volunteers patrOlled the river In the vicinl-
ty OF Fort Erie, and other precautions were
taken but the raiders failed to put in an
appearance. On the same day the Fenians
had picnic excursion down the river, and
when passing Fort Erie and the Canadian
gun-boat Rescue the band played "Wear-
ing Of the Green" and other popular Irish
airs, and the eXcursionists waved the Sun

Arrest of u FOrger.
New YORK, Oct. l4.-A series of extern
sive torgeries on several banks and bankers
of this city to the amount of $4,000 has Just
come to light. Some of the forged checks
were deposited In the Hanover Bank by an
impOster, of the name of Eugene Durand,
who succeeded in obtaining $4,000. Two
checks were drawn In the name of Trevor
& Colgate, bankers on Wall street, one for
81, 500 and the other for $4,000, and were
drawn against, after having been deposit
ed. The North American Bank and Mer-
chants and Chemical Banks are among the
victims. Thus far it appears only about
$4,000 have been lost on this forged paper.
An alleged accomplce of Durand was ar
rested yesterday and taken before Justice
Bowling, at the Tombs Police Court. A
partial examination was made in the case,

A ChSnce for War With England.
The Herald's Washington special says a
number of gentlem n representing claim
ants for indemnity from England, waited
to-day upon the President and urged upon
him the necessity OF taking immed ate ac-
ton. The delay of the British Govern
ment in responding to the just demands of
our Government was freely commented
upon, and 1t is reported that the President
expressed himself favorably inclined to
their views. 1t was suggested that
a demand should be at once
made for indemnity within thirty days,
with threat that in case it was not com
piled with Canada should be seized aud
held as security for the payment of the
claim. The p ltical friends of the Presi-
dent here are generally in favor of such ac-
ton as question Of policy. They argue
thOt foreign war would have tendency
to heal the bitterness of feeling between
the Radicals and the Conservatives. There
il no doubtthe President comedies the claim
just one, but declines incurring the eX-
pense of a war for financial reasons. He is
anxious to reduce the taxation and re-
store the currency us soon rs possible to a
specie basis at the same time. The friends
of compulsory demand for imme late ac-
tion on the part of England in response to
any demand for Indemnity, openly say that
sIch demand will sht roy be made and an
army ordered to the Canada border in less
than eight weeks.
