perpetrators of the late Dayton-street

could sufficiently identity the men to
make a case ogalnst them. IL was proved
that they were in that part OF the CITY,
but net that they were on or very near
Dayton street. Thus, not having suffl-
oieut evidence to convict The men. the
Chief of Police concluded, after consu T.

prominent oitizons, to return the men to
Indianapolis, where a charge Of shooting
with Intent TO kill has been made against
them, ana upon whi0h thoy will un-

He Affirms the Commercial Inter

SitiOn.
National Associated Press to the STAR

National Associated Press to the Star.
. New YORK. Feb. 3.-The Herald pub
fishes a column dispatch from Ex-GoV-
ernor Hendricks, of IndiauapoliS the
substance OF which, with comments, is
given in the following editorial:
"We give elsewhere some observations
by Mr.. Hendricks on the charge that il
he was correctly reported in recent
interview published in the Cincinnati
Commercial. then his present position
on the national finances is grossly in-
consistent with his views as formerly
given to the public.
"This allegation was made by Mr..
Belmont, whose letter was published
last Wednesday, when Mr.. Hendricks
was first reported as the latest dis
tingulshed convert to the silver mad
ness. Mir. Hendricks now declares that
| in the interview In which he was rep
resented as a silver man, he was cor
rec,ly reported.
81 de further says that while he desires
| to be regarded as consistent, he deems
it Of more consequence to be right. but
he holds that his Inconsistency Is not
| and can not be shown. His ground Tor
this opinion is that he never held that
the public debt was payable in gold. He
held that it was not payable in gre en-
backs, but in coin.
| Sin TACT if Congress had passed law
| declaring greenbacks coin, as they now
propose " declare 81 cents is 100, his
scruples as to The good faith OF the Gov
ernment would have been satisfied.
All his position turns on the word ooin
He wanted The debt paid in coin and sil'
yer is coin as well as gold, therefore q
law to pay 1T in silver will be i'll agree
meHt witn his former views.
| "fhe value or the coin he seems tt
deem a point Of no consequence. Ht
did not therefore oppose the greenbach
notion sout Of regard TO The NatioMa
honor, as he is now prepared to gt
further than that did toward paying the
debt in debased money. and the resul
OF his present explanation is not 81
much to show that he has not fa!iel
away from former honorable record al
to show that rightly understood he neve
had an honorable record"

Early yesterday the Hicks.Lord house,
which hitherto has been 80 gloomy IN ap-
pearanoe, underwent 4 sudden change:
The shutters were thrown back, ana
about noon two handsome silk Ameri-
can flags were thrown to the breeze from
the second story window. A little later
two police officers took up Lheir station
In front OF the house as special guard,
having been detailed at The request OF
Mr.. Lord to prevent intrusion and moies-
tation. Last evening the house was ele-
gantly Illuminated from basement 10
roof, not for the reception OF friends, but
as u kind OF fopen-handed way Of announc-
ing no further concealment.
The New York silver Meeting.
A very largely attended mass meeting
was held last night to express an opln:.
ion on the reconciliation OF silver, ana
the desirability of the repeal OF the Re-
sumption Bill. 1t had been announced
that Congressman Ewing, OF Ohio; John
B. Hanna, of Indiana, and s. 5. Cox, oil

that the citizens OF New York earnestly
desire and demand the passage OF the
measure now pending before the U Unlteu
| otates Senate, to restore silver to Its
legitimate position.
The Storm.
The storm that prevailed Thursday
inightwroughth havoc along the southsnofe
| OF Long Island. At Coney Island clear
beach was made by sea hot els, bathing
houses and outbuildings being sWep
away, and not less than seven souli
perished in the icy surf. The storm was
from the northeast and was consequently
one of the most destructive posslole
| upon Long Island, as from that alrectiol
the whole force Of the sea sweeps tns
coast with awful power, and frequently
forming new bars and removing old onet
In single night.
The storm OF Thursday night was the
most dreadful known to the oldest in
habltants along that coast. When the
tide began to make in just before night
tall it became apparent that the water
was going to rise to an extraordinary
height. Great breakers came crushing
in mountain high, and almost perpendi
cultr upon their landward side. BY
O'clock the tide had risen to a height o
four or five feet above the ordinary high
water level, and the roar OF the surf wa
appalling. The wind blew gale, slee
and hail swept the desolate beach like ,
whirlwind, and the darkness was almos
impenetrable.
