EGYPTIAN RAGS


Views of New York Paper Company on
Their Importation and Use.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6-The Seymour Paper
Company, of New York, writes to the Sur
geon-general OF the Marine Hospital service
in relation to the importation of infected
Egyptian rags that 5000 or 5000 tons of rags
are shipped from Egypt to America and
that between 1000 and 1000 tons are in
Egypt now awaiting shipment The letter
closes as follows: "Of course all these rags
must be put under the ban, because a small
portion, perhaps a ton, may be infected. If
there is no outlet for them most
of them will be saved until the markets are
open, and why not the infected with tn
others? The true remedy would be for the
Egyptian government to have the entire
stock burned, paying for them first. But
they won't do this, as it would benefit the
people of other countries. We may say
other nations are using more rags than they
produce. The problem with us is not the
future of the Egyptian rag business, as we
shall buy no rags for long time to come,
but it is the limit of time when it will be
safe to again move the rags to a market.

Mortality from CI,clera.

LONDON, Aug. 6-The deaths from cholera
in Egypt on Sunday were 5O4, including
eleven at Cairo.
There were thirteen deaths from cholera
among the British troops in Egypt on Sun
day. There has been great improvement
among both troops and people in the
last twelve hours, there being only
thirty deaths in Cairo in that period.
Nine deaths occurred in Alexandria on Sun
day. All occurred near the Mahmoudeh
canal, the filth OF which is being moved by
the overflow of the Nile. Yesterday five
fresh cases were reported in the same quar-
ters. When all the filth is removed it is ex-
pected the health of the district will i'm
prove.

AN INTERVIEW WITH FORD.
He Tells of His Arrangement with Officials
for the Capture of James.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Aug 6-The Star prints
this evening an interview with Charlie Ford,
who is now under So, 600 bond on a charge of
completely in the Blue-cut train robbery, in
which he recounts his connection with the
James gang, and negotiations with the
authorities which led TO the killing of James
Ford admits participation in the Blue-cut
robbery, but says he joined the gang solely
to gain their confidence wi tn view to
Jesse's capture, and that he returned his
share of the plunder to the owners after the
robbery. He asserts that negotiations with
the Governor had begun some weeks prior
to this time, and Police Commits
sioner Craig, of this city, knew
of his connection with the robbery
and promised that he should be protected in
everything, He says his brother Bob made
arrangements with Governor Crittenden;
that the Governor promised them a reward
if they would bring in James-$4O, 900 if
alive, or $40, 600 if dead-and told him if he
wanted more men to call on Commissioner
Craig or Sheriff Undertake. These three of
tcials, Charlie says, assured Bob if they
would bring Jesse in, they (the authorites)
would protect them from all harm Alter
pardon, he continues, from the sentence of
murder for the killing of Jesse, he and
Bob returned to Kansas City, and
Craig gave them a pair of United
States pistols, sent by Governor Crittenden.
and told them to consider themselves officers.
and prepare for any and all services. Ford's
story, as given to the reporter is lengthy and
highly interesting. The above outline how
ever, covers the more important features.
In the Recorders Court this afternoon
Charlie Ford was fined 5000 for carrying re-
yolver without authority. Commissioner
Craig and Chief of Police Speers testified
that they believed such protection necessary
since the killing of Jesse James, The court
held that it was insufficient grounds. and
the defense gave notice of appeal

A NEW DEUTERONOMY.
Important Records, for which the Owner
Asks So 900, 900.

ASKS &O,OOU,OOO,
Cable Special to New York Sun
A Mr.. Shapira OF Jerusalem, bookseller
and dealer in antiquities, has just deposited
in the British Museum fifteen slips of black
sheepskin leather, on which are written, in
characters similar to those on the celebrated
Moabite stone portions of the book of Deu-
teronomy, differing materially from the re-
ceived version. The date of the slips is the
ninth century, before Christ, or sixteen CEN
turies older than any authentic manuscript
of any part OF the Old Testament Mr..
Shapiro bought them from an Arab and he
asks for them $5,000,000 from the British
Museum. If genuine, the interest and i'm
portance of the discovery cannot be over
rated, and so far as the variations in the
sacred text are concerned there is promise
of one of the greatest controversies that
scholars have ever entered upon. The deca-
logue furnishes good example for compari-
son with the received version. l quote from
the Shapiro record:

ONE OF sHERMAN's LETTERS.
What He Thought of Attempt to Save
Rebel Firms Mill.


rtspondence Boston Post
The other day the French and American
Claims Commission had a funny case, and
yet it was not an uncommon one. 1t is in
teresting because it unearths one of General
Sherman's characteristic letters. The memo
rialist was a man of the name of Theophile
Roche, and his alleged residence is Paris
France, of which country, he says in his
papers, he was a native. He was a weaver, and
had been employed in the Ivy Woolen-mills at
Roswell, Ala, whittier he had gone looking
for work in 1868. In little more than a
year Sherman's army was getting uncom-
fortably near Roswell, and the Kings, who
owned the MILL began to cast about for some
means of saving their property, which Sher-
man would undoubtedly burn, because the
mill had been making cloth for the Conleder-
ate armies. They bethousht themselves of

Redemption of Mutilated Coins.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Director of the Mint
Burchard will, in his next annual report
recommend TO Congress the adoption of a
plan for redemption of mutilated coin Moth
ing can yet be learned of the nature of the
plan proposed by Mr.. Burchard. He fully
appreciates the fact that, under ordinary cir
cumstances, the redemption of such coin
would open the door to extended frauds
upon the Treasury, but he believes that in
nocent holders should have some means of
securing themselves against loss in this direc-
ton, and it is reported that his plan is formu-
lated to make such protection against loss

a RESULT OF THE STRIKE.

The Probable Establishment of Postal Tele-
graph by the Government.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The ultimate con-
sequence of the telegraphers' strike is prob
lem of great interest to statesmen, and the
belief is gaining ground among them that
one result will be the establishment of a
postal telegraph, built by and operated by
the government. This is regarded as an al
most inevitable move. No member of Con-
gress would dare advocate the purchase of
ths Western Union plant at anything like
the figure the company would want for it,
and claim that it is worth. The imitation of
stock from a small figure to $50, 900, 600 puts
the purchase OF the Western Union lines at
anything like their true value out of the
question.

A Superseryiceable OficiaI



Itis exciting much remark here that the
Senate manager of the government tele-
graph line of this city, William L. Ives, went
INN edately to the assistance of the Western
Union in New York when the strike was an
nounced. He is an officer appointed by the
Democrats of the Senate, and now receives
pay through these Democratic ofiic This
is in strong contrast with the position ia ken
at the War Department, when the Western
Union requested, at the opening of the
strike, that lieutenant Swift, of the Signal
Corps, might be allowed to help in the tele
graph Office here. The request was not
granted as it was deemed entirely improper
for government employees to take part in
such controversy, and especially on the
side OF a great monopoly.
