Looking for Resumption.
National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, April 11-Secretary Sherman,
accompanied by Mr. Babcock, of the Treas
ury Department, again visited General Hill
house, at the sub-Treasury yesterday, where
he remained two hours He declined to
converse with representatives of the press
concerning the result of his mission. The
various bankers, with one exception who
participated in yesterdays meeting were
equally reticent. They all laughed over the
reports in the papers and intimated that the
reporters must have drawn largely on their
imaginatons when they wrote the account
of matters that were not brought up at all
at the conference.
One of the bank Presidents who attended
the Conference said the object of the Secre-
tary's visit to this city has already been
stated. He came here to see about the re-
sumption of specie payments, and desired
the co-operation of the banks. In this we
cordially assured the Secretary that we were
with him, and that he could have our sup
port. The matter was discussed at length
but can not state the numerous points
brought up. The real and practical ques-
ton was what kind of bonds it would be
safe for banks to take, with the assurance
that they can be distributed to people
speedily and with absolute certainty, so
that in any such negotiation the banks
might simply act as agents without profit
and without risks to themselves by taking
something they could not sell and get their
money back. This point was the main one
discussed.

VIM. M. Tweed has been very low since

The case of Ex-Governor Moses was again

when the District Attorney made return

of warrant of extradition, granted by the

the Governor of South Carolina. The case
locked up.

A SETTLER ROBBED OF TIMBER.-Severd
years ago we happened to journey with
very disconsolate man who was returning
from the West. Having couple of yean
previously traded farm near Rochestef.
n Y, for some timber land in one OF the
Western States, he had been out to see It.
At the time of his purchase it was heavily
timbered, and well fenced in, but when ise
saw it there was not bush or fence-rad
on the premises. The land had been stripped
of timber, tirewood and fences by tliH
timber thieves At the time we had good
reason to believe from their own state
ments, that the Western pioneers stole tim
Der and fuel from the Government lands:
the same as they stripped this mans land.
and many of those who owned timber lantis
would pass it by and steal from the GoyerR-
ment instead of taking their own. The rea,
son of this was that timber lands were worth
$40 an acre, while prairie lands were worth
only 81 25 per acre; hence they took goos
care Of their own valuable timber and stOk
what they needed from the public lands
We have no doubt that the same practics
prevails to-day in all the border regions, aua
we think Mr. Schurz deserves thanks fm
trying to stop these deprcdations. Eastern

SPIRITED FIFTy-MILE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST
BETWEEN HARDING AND RICE.
RUTLAND W., April 1.-THE walking
match for $500 and the fifty-mile champion
ship of the United States, took place here
yesterday. The contestants were George A.
Rice, of this city, the champion of New
England, and VIM f. Harding of New
York. For the past few days the match has
been creating unusual interest, and large
amount of money was wagered on the con-
test The match resulted from a challenge
issued by Harding to walk any man, in
America fifty miles, which was accepted by
Rice and the match arranged, the hackers of
Rice allowing Harding $50 for expenses to
have the match here. Rice is 6 feet in
height and weighs 100 pounds Harding is
feet.7 inches in height and weighs 1856
pounds.
The New York pedestrian arrived here
Tuesday, accompanied by James McCloud
the New York BOOKSELLER, DR.. l.. G. Thonl-
as, President of the Nautical Boat Club, and
host of New York sports The latter
backed Harding heavily but the sporting
men here were sanguine, and laid long odds

took place in large hall. The track was
made with sawdust, and the pedestrians had
to walk,twenly-four laps to a mile. AS soon
as the New York sports found out that the
track was not suitable to their champion,
they stobped betting. The race from the

start to the finish was a splendid trial OF
speed and endurance. Rice was accustomed
to the track, while the short circle COM
pletely bothered the New York pedestrian.
For twenty miles the pace was terrific,
nearly all the miles being made in less than
ten minutes. At thirty miles beth men
were beginning to show signs OF exhaustion,
and it was still anybodys race. Rice kept
up terrific pace, Harding keeping right
after him, while the crowd, which filled the
building, yelled to urge the pedestrians

THE INCOME TAX.

THE INCOME TAX.
WASHINGTON, April IA motion was
made in the Committee on Waysand Means
yesterday to strike out of the internal rev.
enue bill the portion providing for an in
come tax. This was beaten the ayes being
Messrs. Wood, Chairman, Phelps, Banks,
Garfield and Kelley. The noes voted favor
ing the income tax were Messrs. Tucker,
Burchard Sayler, Harris, Robbins and Glib
son. The rates of tax were not decided. A
part of the Committee favors graduated
income tax and others uniform rate. The
drift is to the latter rate.
REPEAL OF THE BANKRUPT LAW.
The bill to repeal the bankrupt law came
up yesterday. Mr.. McCreery spoke briefly
but emphatically for repeal. He referred
to the Instructions of the Kentucky Legis-
lature, saying that nine-tenths of the people
favored repeal. Mr.. Stanley Matthews has
offered substitute Is the bill, which gets
rid Of the involuntary feature Of the present
act, and provides that any person who
being insolvent, shall make an assignment
according to his State law of all his prop
erty, shall be deemed bankrupt and on
his assets paying fifty per cent. of his
debts within two years, shall be dis
charged from liability on account of such
debts in respect to property acquired after
such assignment. Mr.. Matthews spoke at
considerable length in favor of his substi-
;ute. He insisted, in conclusion, that there
never was a time when total repeal of the
bankrupt law was more inopportune, or
when there was more debt on prospect of
insolvency than now; and that there was
nothing wrong or contrary to the expe-
rience of commercial nations in properly
guarded bankrupt law, There is consider
able doubt whether the plan of total re-
repeal, or some bill similar to that of Mr..
Matthews, will be adopted The debate can
hardly be said to have begun on the subject.
The lawyers of the body are all on the qui
vive and there is prospect of long de-
bate.
PACIFIC RAILWAY FUNDING BILL.
The Jay Gould and Huntington lobby has
transferred the fight on the Funding Bill to
the House end of the Capitol, and will do
their level best to smother the Thurman bill
| in committee. The bill has not been re-
| ferred, but the Judiciary Committee are said
to be all right on the subject, and it is pos
sible that it may agree to report motion
either to put the bill on its passage or as
sign an early day for its consideration. The
tactics of the railroad lobby are to gain time
and to take advantage of the chapter of in
| cidents.

Horrible Railroad Track Accident.
Nntiopal Associated Press to the Star

National Associated Press TO the Star.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, April ia horrible ac-
cident occurred at East Syracuse yesterday,
resulting in the death of a lady named Ellen
Murphy. aged forty-fye, of Clyde, n, Y.
and her niece, Miss Nellie Brossel, aged
eighteen, of Sa1ina, N. Y. The Dewitt
special train was late in arriving at East
Syracuse and flying shift was made from
track No 1 to track No. 8. The unfortunate
ladies got off the train, and started across
passenger track No. 2. Just at this time the
second mail train from the East with double
header, came along at frightful speed. The
engineer blew his whistle and Miss Brossel
suddenly became aware of her danger A
quick movement on her part would have
saved her life, but her aunt was ahead Of
her, between the rails, and the brave girl
forgetting herself, rushed to her aunt's res
cue, and seizing her by the arm endeavored
to pull her from the track. The engine
struck them both, hurting them into the
air distance OF nearly one hundred feet
and they both fell mangled mass of flesh
and bones.
