ureat excitement was caused III the CONNER
cial world on the 10th lust, by the announce
ment that Peter McGeoch, one of tho heaviest
of Chicago speculaters, had failed. sIcGeoch
had, since February last, been engineering an
immense corner in lard and provisions on the
Chicago board of trade and had forced the
pilce OF the former commodity up to fictitious
figure: The supply, however, sooms to have
been lafger than the great operator had an
tieipated, and, after exharst,ng his resources.
hlcGeoch was obliged to stop buying. This,
when it was known, caused an immediate drop
IN values, aud July lard. which had been
bought by the corner at S11.17l% the day be-
fore, dropped as low as si9.O5, causing loss to
the principal mapipulator of the corner of
something like S2,O0O,0OO. The following is a
list OF the known creditors OF McGooch az well
as can be learned, with the amount of his in
debtedness to each where it is stated: Failed:

An Advonturor's Fortune.

Washington special, 10: In 1868
Mr.. Samuel Bryan was a 81 200 clerk in
the p~ostofice department. During the
latter part of 1868 there was a number
Of woman rights conventions in this
city. Bryan attended, and became a
convert to the doctrine of woman suf-
frage. He made q number of speeches.
He was described in the local reports Of
that time as the man with the Fenian
necktie. AS he was nearly the only
gentleman speaker, he was made much
of. The adulation he received fired his
ambitions. He became disguised with
his humdrum duties AS clerk. He re-
signed one day and set out for Japan.
He had 10 appointment, and went out
upon q mere venture Of his own. He
arrived in Japan at a very opportune
time. The japanese government was
e~ndeavoring to inaugurate a postal sys-
tenn. Mr.. Bryan found ready employ
ment. He organized q postal system,
following ours as a model, and was soon
at the head of it. He has made some
additions to IL system, however. The
japanese p~ostotiices are also postal saw
ings banks and telegraph stations. Mr..
Bryan was also the agent of the Japa-
nese government who visited this coun-
try and Europe to regulate the existing
postal treaties between Japan and the
leading civilized nations. A private
letter was received from Mr.. BRYAN to-
day, saying that he was coming back to
his Washington home to live. He has
been in Japan ten years and is now in
the prime of life. He has made a hand
some fortune and is coming home to
enjoy it. The Yokohama Gazette, that
reached here to-day, says that Mr..
Bryan has been presented with the
fOurth-class insignia of the order of the
Rising Sun by the prime minister. The
Gazette also notes the presentation of
Mr.. Bryan to the emperor. The latter
expressed himself as very much indebt.
ed to Mr.. Bryan for what he had done.
Mr.. Bryan is n native of Ohio.

Iron-plated Mlliionaires.

A morning paper said yesterday that
"Mr. jay Gould when he rides down
town has an armed man beside him.
Mr.. Vanderbilt the same, and the
Steward marble mansion is always IN
der the eyes Of detectives"
If this be true it is u curious COM
mentary ON our civilization. Mr.. Jay
Gould and Mr.. Vanderbilt cannot be
afraid Of mere robbers, because they do
not carry any wealth on their persons
and nobody but an insane man would
attack them for purposes Of gain. What
then are they afraid of that they take
these extraordinary precautions. w,
can see no possible explanation of their
course except in the consciousness tina,
thousands of people believe themselves
TO have been wronged-perhaps ruined
by these men, and the fear that some
Of them may at any moment rashly At
tempt to retaliatc with personal VIC
la%mentable, but inevitable one. Mer
who live in iron-plated houses with
steel shutters, who keep detectives in
their Railways, and who dare not ride
ont without being accompanied, like 6
European despot, by an armed defender

some way their lives and labors bese'
them with deadly enemies. That the
accumulation Of wealth in this country
need not make a man unpopular, we
fortunately have ample proofs. We

THE sARrORIs SENSATION.
The Principal in the Case Talks Very Sensi-

Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
There are no new developments in the
Sartors-Bush affair, and the great sensation
which found its birth in the vivid imagina-
tons of certain journalistic gentlemen is dy-
ing natural death for want of real facts to
sustain it. In the meantime, Mr.. Sartoris is
quietly remaining at the Grand Pacific, and
proposes to fight it out on this line if it takes
all summer. Though very wisely disinclined
to afford certain paper any food for further
groundless scandal, he consented very readily
Yesterday to accord the represen tative of the
Tribune an interview because, he said, that
paper had treated him with fairness. When
asked what he proposed to do he said:
what can L do? There is nothing to be
done that l can see. If the independent
Democratic organ wishes to persist in lying
about me, why, let it go ahead. OF course [
realize that there is no use in getting into
conflict with a newspaper; it would only add
to the publicity already given to a trivial
ma tier and keep it going, My wife and her
family will pay no attention to this at all;
they know me too WELL If they had given
it any credence whatever | should have
heard from them by this time. All that l
intend to do is to remain here until they let
up on me, and l nope that will be pretty
soon, because l have important business
which calls me elsewhere l am naturally
sensitive and dislike this publicity, still my
principal regret is for poor little Mrs. Bush.
1t is really too bad that her name should be
banded round in this sort of way, when she
has done nothing whatever to deserve it,
Then you know nothing whatever about
the Milwaukee part OF the story?'
Nothing, l assure you. I know Mrs.
Bush, just as l know other ladies, but her
private concerns are no affair OF mine"
WAS the interview with you in that paper
on Friday bogus?"
"Why, 1 never saw the man. arrived
here Saturday morning and registered at this
hotel. Why should keep myself concealed,
should like to know? But there is no use
talking about the matter any further. Let
them say what they please, it can't hurt me
when I know that it is utterly without
foundation"
Mr.. Sartoris said that Mrs. Sartoris was at
present in England at his brothers.

A CASHIERS CONFESSION.
A Thiefs Confession and His Mysterious
Discharge.

New York Special.
On May 3 last the treasurer of the Graphic
Company was committed to Ludlow-street
Jail in default OF $25, 000 bail in q civil suit
brought against him by the Graphic Compa-
ny, of this city. The order of arrest was
granted in the Supreme Court on three affi-
davits made by Charles w. Goodsell, mana
ger, James H. Goodsell director, and Frank
d. Bunce, bookkeeper of the Graphic Com
pany. All these affidavts charged that the
accused had, in his capacity as treasurer of
the Graphic Company, taken from the funds
intrusted to his charge, $50, S95. 56, which he
had embezzled and applied to his own use
All three of the accusers swore that he had
admitted his thefts to them, and appended
to the affidavits was the following confession
signed by him:
|, Thomas Fl. Dunekley confess and admit that
have taken from the Graphic Company funds
ssss29Si IA t3 t tosR fm9gn g e s2256
way eptitled, but which were distracted by me
from said company, and that the above state
ment of the amounts embezzled by me from the
funds of the said company Is correct, so far as
know. This statement is made voluntarily by
me, and without any control from any person.
THOMAS ii. DUNCKLEY.
There is another confession made by Dunck-
ley appended tothe papers and written sub
sequent to the above, as follows:
further say that 1 have concealed the above
dsfalcatio from the defandants, Chares NJ. Good
sell and james II. Goodsell, and in every posi-
Bile way prevented the discovery of the above
detacation, or of any unfaithfulness on my part,
and have led them and the said company, in
every way that l could, TO believe that / was
faithful iu the performance of my service to
said company, and to them, the said Goodsells,
and the sooner detection of the crime has been
prevented by my dupliclTy, and mine alone, and
this statement is made voluntarily.
The papers show that the money was taken
between April 1, 1881, ard April %, 1883, and
the statement referred to in the con fession
gives the details of some of the items taken
that went to make up the whole of the $780,
1885. 1t now appears that Dunckley was
discharged from jail few days ago.
