A GUMSHOE FIGHT.
A Fierce Battle Among Rochester Stu
dents With UNIQUE weapons.

Sophomore and freshmen classes of the
University of Rochester, says a special
to the Philadelphia Times, had fierce
gumshoe battle in one of the large college
building rooms. Nearly every member
engaged in the row, and the fight was very
bitter. The fight began by some one toss
ing overshoes about promiscuously. The
class feeling between the sophom0res and
freshmen happened to be just at that
pitch that required only starter to pre-
cipitate conflict, and the onset was a
fierce one. The door of the reading room
in which the row occurred was barred.
The juniors and seniors huddled in cor
ners to escape the rapidly-hylng missiles
and the place resOunded with wild yells.
The cOmbatants did not long confine
themselves to throwing the rubbers across
the room, but met in the centre and bella
bored one another over the heads and
shoulders with their weapons.
The struggle was long and desperate,
but the freshmen seem to have defeated
their antagOnists-atl least the sOphOmores
were the more disabled of the two parties
at the close. There were several black
ened eyes and bloody noses at the end Of
the set-to, and the participants showed
general demOralized appearance. 1t is
stated that gum shoes had given place to
fists in one or two cases, and that the APP

the University was timely in preventing
serious casualties. Discipline in the

University authorities will probably take
no action in the matter unless repetl-
ton should be attempted. The
name of the student who was most in
iured is Hirschfeld. He is game fellow
when in a conflict, but is said to be slow
to take the initiative in any disturbance
whatever. Hirschfield and another stu
dent are under the care of physician to-
night, being badly injured about the head
and face.

RAIDS ON THE TREASURY.
Incessant Attempts Being Made to Get
at the National Strong Boy.

Ineessant Attempts Being Made to Get
at the National Strong Box.
The existence OF a large surplus, says a
Washington special to the New York
Graphic, has been the excuse for innum-
cradle raids or attempted incursions into
the vaults. Mr.. Bedford, the florid Rep
resentatlve from the Rockies, makes an
almost daily onslaught in the House, but
he is regarded as harmless, and his lurid
eloquence is enjoyed by the more sober
members as a good joke. The tariff revis-
ers and internal revenue abOlishers will
probably fight each other too bitterly for
either to make much OF an lnrOad on the
Treasury receipts. The claims of the
States for the fourth lnstallment of the
Treasury surplus ordered by the act of
June %, 1886, are being pressed Vigor-
ousIy. and an application on behalf of the
State of Virginia has been acted upon fa-
VOrably by the United States Supreme
Court. Leave having been granted to file
petition for a mandamus upon Secretary
FOlger to compel him to comply with the
law, this was done, and argument on a
further application for rule on the Sec
retary to show cause why peremptOry
order should not issue has been set for
March 3, the day the court reconvenes af-
ter its usual recess.
The demand to be made is that the
Treasury Department deliver to the State
of Virginia the fourth installment, amount
ing to 1872, 300 SO, of the sum set apart and
appropriated by the act of 1886. The pc
tition sets out the law and the purpose for
which it. was passed, together with the
payments made under it. The total pro-
portion of the State was 81, 19S, 427 so, the
whole amount to be distributed being
$37, 46S, S59 SO. Secretary FOlger's last re-
port, which showed, on total of receipts
amounting to 1898, 2S7 ,5S1 90 and expenses
of $3.50, 40S, 1877 "a, a surplus of $l32, $780,
444 Al, is taken as basis for the present
application.
THE is the first occasion, it is alleged,
since the last installment was paid that
a surplus sufficient for this purpose has
existed in the time during which no de-
mand has been made. The point is also
made that the present method of using a
part of the surplus in paying off the ma
tiOnal debt is illegal, the one per cent, per
annum addition to the Sinking Fund hav-
ing already been very largely exceeded,
the reductions since the close of the war
having far more than made up for
the deficiency allowed to grow up in that
period. The State of New York accepted
the conditions of the law in question by
an act passed by the Legislature on JAN
uary 10, 1887, and subsequently received
$4,014,521 IL, her propOrtlonate amount OF
the fund, leaving 81 1886, 173 81 due.
The result of the application of Virginia
will decide the cases of twenty-five other
States which accepted the offer of Con-

The discussion of Senator McPhersons
bill in the Senate to increase the circula-
ton of national banks is attracting good
deal of attention. The bill is not a party
measure. 1t has friends and opponents
on both sides of the chamber. Thegeneral
desire seems to be to pass measure that
will benefit both the banks and the people.
The Mcpherson bill allows national banks
to issue circulating notes to the full
amount of the bonds which they have de-
posted to secure them, but it is provided
that in no instance shall the amount of the
notes exceed the actual paid-in capital Of
the bank issuing them. Mr.. Sherman
doesn't like the bill because he has
scheme of his own which he wants
adopted. His scheme is that the banks
shall be allowed TO issue notes equal TO 40
per cent. Of the face value of their de-
posted bonds as at present, and, in addl-
ton, notes equal to one-half Of the IN
| terest in excess of 3 per cent. that shall
accrue on the bonds before they snail
mature. OF course, this scheme applies
| only TO bonds bearing more than per
cent. interest. 1t would permit the
| issuance of an amount of notes more than
| eoual TO the face value of the bonds de-
| nosited TO secure them. Mr.. Sherman has
| 9ropOsed this scheme as an amendment to
| the Mcpherson bill. The objection to it
Is that in the event Of financial panic or
/ a foreign war the bonds might drop to par,
in which case the notes would cease to be
worth their face value. In other words,
| the circulation would be contracted just
| to the extent of the fall in the market
| value Of the bonds. Stability in the cur
rency is particularly desired. The gov
! eminent is good for the face value OF Its
| bonds. and it has right to
authorize the Issue of circulating
notes to that extent. The Mcpherson
bill promises a stable currency. 1t is sug-
! gested that if national banks are deserv-
ing OF further relief than is provided in
! this bill, the Potter bill, which is now
! pending in the House, be made part
of it. The Potter bill repeats one half the
! tax on bank circulation. This tax is now
| one per cent, If the tax were made one
half of one per cent. there would be a
saving to the banks of about $2,OOO0OO.
| II Is dTgueu lndt Jue MI ASl sun p4Ii' mus
amended-giving, as it would, an increase
of 10 per cent in the volume of bank
note circulation and reducing the
the tax on circulation one haf-wOuld be
sufficient to prevent a contraction of ma
tional bank note circulation and would be
satisfactory to the banks. There is good
deal of opposition, however, to the Nc
! PbprsOu bill. and If is thought that this
opposition would not be materially les
sened if it were amended by lacking the
| Potter bill on to it.

The business of Savannah seems to be
established on such solid and prosper
Gus basis that the majority Of its citizens
do not take time to consider the necessl-
ties and possibilities of the future. Inc
advantages this city enjoys as business
point and the Importance OF the present

are not to be underestimate, but "hen

only to enable us to hold our own against
all councillors. but to extend our trade
into sections in which little has been
hitherto done.
Two lines of railroad in addition to those
we now have would perfect Savannah's
railroad system and exert great influence
on her future career. A road should be
built from here to Columbia, 5. C., and
extended beyond that point if necessary,
so as to give us more direct route to the
North and East. Such a road would pass
through a prosperous section of that state,
the trade of which would be diverted to
this point. The distance would probably
be less than $50 miles. and the topography
of the country is very favorable for rail-
road construction. The advantages that
would accrue to Savannah from the con-
struction of such a road are obvious.
Another road should be constructed
from Savannah through Bryan, Tattnall,
Montgomery, Telfair, Dodge. wilcox,
DOoly and Sumter counties to Americas,
whence it could be in time extended
further west. Such road would go
through a splendid timber and farming
| country, and would give us an immense
| addition to our trade, and the country
along the line would be developed and
made the garden spot of the State. The
| country is level and a railroad could be
built at minimum cost. The distance
would be about 200 miles, but every mile
/ of the road would command local patron
age.
Savannah is amply able to build these
roads, but the people of the sections
through which they would pass would
| aid literally in their construction. There
is scarcely a doubt that they would pay
| handsome dividends, and they would make
our city secure in the position 1t now
holds of being the great cotton port OF the
| South Atlantic States, besides giving il
the command of a local trade in which ii
would be without rival. With these
roads in operation and a little more energy
and enterprise on the part of our people,
there is no reason why the population OF
Savannah would not reach a 100000 in
| less than twenty years.

Brewster Cameron, late General Agent
of the Department of Justice, has been
talking pretty freely to Mr.. Springer's
committee about the fraudulent practices
of United States MarsEals. 1t is stated,
and there appears to be no reason to
doubt the statement, that George Bliss
advised Brewster Cameron to hold his
tongue between his teeth, because his
revelations were doing the Republican
party incalcuIable harm. George Bliss
was the leading counsel in
the star route cases, and
for all the public knows to the contrary,
he still holds that very profitable position.
If it is George Bliss opinion that the ex-
posture of Republican rascalities tends to
Injure the Republican party, and if he is
tender on that point, as it appears he is,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that he
did not exert himself to any marked ex-
tent to bring those accused of star route
frauds to Justice. In fact, it has been hint
ed that he played, and continues to play,
a double part in this star route business.
1t is possible that an intimatiOn of this
kind does him an injustice, but it must be
admitted that it is justified by his advice
to Brewster Cameron. Why should he
want the rascalities of United States Mar
shals hidden any more than the rascalities
of Dorsey, Brady and others who are
accused of getting money from the Treas
ury in an unlawful manner? The expo
sure Of the wrOngdOng OF one crowd OF
rascals tends to hurt the Republican
party as much as the exposure of the
wrOngdoing of the other crowd. AS

through with the Marshals they should

agement of the star route cases. They
may find something more which justlties
complaint than the eXOrbitant fees paid

they will be able to present good many
reasons why the government should pass
