E6Ol,0oO In bullion and .c426,000 in coin
when the great rush stopped. In FeDru-
airy, 1907, when the bank suspended cash
payments, there was E1 ,0S0,f7 In coin ana
bullion remaining In the vaults.
In old times great many men were
hanged for forging Bank-of.England notes.
In one year IL seems, about 1920, there
were over one hundred persons convicted
OF forgery, and nearly nine hundred were
convicted OF having forged notes In their
pockets. There are many citizens OF New
York though well advanced In years
who can remember the time-the year
1S1S-when twenty-four persons were
hanged in one year for forgeries on
the bank. In the year 1903 there
was great forgery committed by a
man named Astlett, who was one OF
the chief cashiers OF the bank. The amount
was so large that 1t frightened everybody.
AstIett did this work so we'll by reissuing
exchequer bills that he defrauded the bank
out OF E32O,00O before the forgery was de-
tected. One can imagine the general con-
sternation. The old governor OF the bank
nearly went mad.
The biggest forgery, however. was
Fauntleroy's. in 1916, for 100000. Faun-
tleroy was the head partner in bank in
Berners street, London, that had dealings
with the Bank of England. As the bank
that he belonged to was in a bad state,
Fauntleroy, in order to keep up its credit,
went to work and forged powers Of attor-
ney OF lot OF wealthy deposltOrs, and
sold out their funds; yet all the time he
was working in this way he was
paying dividends to the men he was
robbing. But the crash came at last,
and before the police broke into
FauntlerOy's house they found a note
breathing defiance against the bank for
having refused to discount his acceptances,
and having thus destroyed the credit Of his
house. Fauntleroy was hanged for his
crime, and an eyewitness remarks that all
London was present at the execution.

The Monkey ana the Burglar.

A very curious story is published by the
iuri-Shimbun. The scene is laid near
Klyoto, in village called Hidzume, where
there resides an old gentleman, Nakao
ShOhaku, more than sixty years OF age. Oh
late years Mr.. Nakao has been participa-
tor in the aesthetic renaissance OF the
time, and, being a man OF Independent
means, he lives at ease in charming cot
tage where all the furniture is in strict
uniformity with the most approved Cha
no-yu styles. The only constant companion
Of his retirement Is monkey, which he has
reared from its infancy, and which is now
an animal Of great size and strength, but sim
gularly docile and aflectIonate. On the 9th
ultimo. NakaO, having some business at
the temple OF Shorin, set out In the eve
ming, with the intention OF passing the
night at the abbOts house. A burglar
took advantage OF the old mans absence,
broke into the house, and making up a
large bundle OF clothes and other articles,
strapped it on his back and was creeping
off, when the monkey observed him. In
stantly the animal sprang on the thiefs
shoulders and attacked him with fury,
biting and scratching his nose, eyes, and
neck, and chattering the while as loud as
possible. In VAIN the man struggled 10
escape from his active assailant. Hampered
by the bundle on his back, which the
monkey never gave him time to throw of,
he stumbled blindly about until at last
loss OF blood and terror completely over
came him, and he sank down fainting.
The monkey, however, did not under
stand fainting. Seeing its enemy at its
mercy it proceeded to profit by the occasion,
and would probably have killed the man
had not its iabberng attracted the attention
Of a passer-by. According to the story
told by the japanese, II was the monkey
itself that heard footsteps on the road, and.
running out, made signs OF some sort,
which induced the traveller to come in.
However this may be. the thief was found
in a very sorry plight. and the police had
no little difficulty in restoring him suffi-
GENTLY to learn that his name was SUgimoto
Seniiro.

TREATMENT OF MIXES.
Something About Mail Matter-A Letter
from Postmaster Gilmer.


TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
The word "nixes" is term used in
the postal service OF the United States to
denote "matter, chiefly OF the first and
second class, addressed 10 places which are
not post-ofiices, or to States, ETC., In which
there Is no such post-oflice as that indi-
Gated In the address,"
The present " treatment" OF "nixes "
seems to have been first required by Hon.
d. N. Key when he held the Office Of Post
master General. In bis "Order No. H."
dated September 20, 1870, addressed TO the
postmaster OF New York city, he said:
81 have to inform you that after mature
consideration II has been decided that the
interest OF the public and Of the department
will be best subseryed BY strict construc.
ton Of sections 432, TAO, and 742 OF the
Regulations. The latter section forbids
the delivery Of mail by employees, Of the
postal service at places which are not post
Offices. and hence mail matter addressed to
places which are not post-oflices, or ad.
dressed otherwise than TO post-ofilre,

has not seen fit to occupy. But it has full,

general clause Just quoted. At first II die
not. Its first statute setting the iudicia

was the Judiciary Act OF 1889, drawn by
Mr.. Ellsworth, afterwards chief justice
This statute ranks In American history
with the Declaration Of Independence and
the Constitution themselves. The thir-
teeDth section OF this great statute provided
that tue Supreme Court OF the United
States should have " exclusive jurisdiction
Of all controversies OF civil nature where O
State Is party, except between State and
Its own citizens" &c. In making that ex-
ceptlon the first Congress assumed that the
inferior courts OF the United States might
be endowed With jurisdiction OF suits be-
tween States and their own citizens under
the general language OF section 2, Arti-
Gle ILL.,: and especially and pointedly as
sumed that the succeeding paragraph OF the
same section, which gives original jurisdic-
ton 70 the Supreme Court Of suits In
which States are parties, did not mean to
make that jurisdiction exclusive. 1t were
useless to cite the many cases In which the
Supreme and Circuit Courts OF the United
States have subsequently sustained this
view Of Mr.. Ellsworth and OF the Congress
OF 1889. Such Yves q provision OF the first
statute Of Congress on this subject.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The disturbing elements
In Wall street to-day were the Erie securities.
The bonds fell from rs to 6S, and the preferred
stock was down 10A points from last evenings
hgures, The balance of the market was some
what disturbed by the violent fluctuations IN
them. Several stocks, however, acted as though
they were dragging on the bottom, and it was
given out that it was not considered prudent to
sell the Vanderbilt properties at present figures.
Central and Hudson, Lake Shore and Canada
Southern were well held all day. Among the
grangers Northwestern showed more weakness
than ST. Paul Notwithstanding the denial of
the report that Wabash was likely to go into the
hands of receiver the common stock was ex-
ceedngly weak, touching 71a. The preferred
showed good deal of stability all day. There
was less excitement than yesterday, and at times
the market was very dull.
The enormous liabilities Of the defunct stock
firm inclnes operators to curtal their operations
and await developments, and there are not yet
any indications that the leading spectators are
buying any amount of long stocks.
The market is Of course largely oyersold. Jer-
sey Central loaned at y per cent. for use.

earnings of late show big falling off. 1t was
TuuiOreu III lne ldSG nOur LnaI the Union racine
directors had decided to pass the July dividend,
but the report was denied by well-informed Bos-
ton parties. The market closed nervous and IN
settled.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "The market ex-
hibited during the greater part of the day less
nervousness and stronger front than for the
past two days. Just prior to the close, how
ever, selling temper created by report
that the Union Pacific company had decided to
pass their dividend. Another weak spot which
hurt the market was the rumor that the coupons
soon to become due on Erie second mortgage
bonds would be defaulted upon. The
general market has had for several days
past to contend with these two weak properties,
made so by large forced liquidation in them.
Now that they about out of the way and the
worst that can possibly occur is known in refer
ence thereto much relief will hereafter be ex-
perienced, The market is likely to cut away
from such heretofore pernicous influences.
Prices want to improve and will do so upon the
slightest encouragement 1t is remarkable that
they should have been so well sustained in the
past few days, considering the unexpected ad-
verse influences brought to the surface during
that period.

Some Inside Tariff History,
Special Telegram to the Globe. |


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Judge Geddes gives the
following inside history of the tariff bill: "Last
week some forty Democrat members who could
not conscientiously support Mr.. Morrison's bill
held conference to try and arrange if possible q
compromise upon which the Democrats could
unite. The Ohio delegation, as we'll as that of
California, were anxious to have some conces-
sions made for the wool interest. After long
session a committee of nine was ap-
pointed to see Mr.. Morrison and Speaker
Carlisle and get their ultimatum
Subsequently from this committee it was thought
best to appoint a committee Of three The
committee consisted of Mr.. Eaton, of Connecti-
cut, Mr.. Barbour, of Virginia, and myself. 1
acted as the spokesman. The committee saw
Morrison and Carlisle and requested that the
case Mr.. Morrison would not agree to do any
thing for wool.
''We want your ultimatum,' said I.
ssWell,'' said Mr. Morrison, s'you have it. 1t
is not the intention to restore the duty on wool,
and that you can consider as the ultimatum.''
This ended all hope of compromise, and it
was because of the failure to make concessions
to the wool interest that ten of the thirteen
Democrats in the Ohio delegation voted against
Mr.. Morrison's BILL He told us plainly he would
not permit an amendment to restore the wool
duty of 1867
''Did the Ohio Democrats know of this confer
ence?,
ION, yes; report was made to all of them,
and such as voted for the bill did it with their
eyes open to the fact that the wool interest
would get no gelef.''

FRANK BLAIR'S WIDOW.
The House Votes Her $1,000 and an
Increase of Pension.
Odd Indemnity Case In the House--Senate Dis
cussing Indian Schools.
The Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Senator lelph intro
duced a bill to provide for the construction of a
harbor of refuge at Port Oxford, Pacific coast.
Referred.
The chair laid before the senate the resolution
offered yesterday by Senator Van Wyck, direct
ing the secretary of the treasury to withhold
patents5for lands on the Payallup's branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad until congress decides
the question of the forfeiture of such lands.
Pending action on the resolution Senator Dawes
moved to take up the Indian appropriation bill
agreed to. and the resolution was placed on the
Talendar.
Before taking up the Indian bill, the chair laid
before the senate the pending appeal Of Senator
Beck from the decision of the chair regarding the
motion of Frye for q conference committee on
the shipping bill.
Senator Harris said, Frye was necessarily alb
sent from the city and had expressed wish the
matter might so over till Monday. The matter
went over accordingly.
The senate then took up the Indian appropria-
ton BILL and Senator Dawes briefly recapitulated
its provisions. The estimates for the year, he
said, were SS,466, 800. The amount of this bill
as it came from the house was $5,456, ,389.
Amendments proposed by the senate increased
the amount $757, ,413, the total reported by the
senate for the Indian service for the coming
year Sc, 213,S ,SO2. This exceeds the Indian bill of
last year $40, 147. The chief element of in
creases, Dawes said, was the amount for Indian
schools.
The bill was considered by sections, and con-
siderable progress was made without debate, ex-
cept upon the appropriu>sn for education in
Alaska. The senate coml1ittee had reduced the
amount from $15,OOO allowed by the house, to
$4,000.
Senator Hawley moved to make the amount
$4,000.
Senator Plumb opposed the motion. He
thought the education Of the Indians was costing
a great deal too much. 1t was merely spending
money without practical result. The churches
are doing the work at much less than the gov
ernment was paying. The education of the In
dians should be of a practical character 1t was
no use trying to educate an Indian up to the idea
that he was prince Of the blood
Senator Plumb ridiculed the efforts of inter-
ested parties to influence congress to appropriate
money for schools in Alaska.
Senator Conger defended the Indians and the
work of their education. 1t was work, he said,
in which many noble men and women were en-
gagged and should be encouraged He favored a
liberal appropriation for it. Pending debate on
the amendment the senate went into executive
session. and when the doors were re-opened they
adjourned until ~ o'clock tomorrow.
About1 O'Clock tomorrow the senators will
proceed in body to attend the unveing Of the
Marshall memorial statue.

ANOTHER TARIFF BILL.

Representative Hewitt, of New York, will in
troduce in the house on Monday next A bill to
amend, simplify and make clear the present tar
if law, with a view to obviating some difficulties
experiencedby by the treasury department in con-
strung and carrying out its provisions. He has
some thoughts, also, of incorporating in his pro-
posed bill series Of provisions intended to re-
duce the tariff, but he will not
come to final decision upon this point until he
has had conference with other Democrats in
the house. Mr.. Hewitt said tonight if he should
decide to make his bill tariff reduction meas
ure, the changes to be made by it would not be
so radical as those that would have been made by
the Morrison bill. When he came to Washing
ton at the beginning Of congress, he brought
with him a tariff bill which would have been in
troduced had not Morrison offered measure
prepared by himself. Hewitt's bill provided for
the reduction of revenues from customs duties,
amounting to about $7O,00o,0 600. 1t placed on
the free list number of articles in addition to
those made duty free by Morrison's original bill
Mr.. Eaton of Connecticut said to-day, if no tariff
bill is introduced this session, the Democrats
who aided in defeating the Morrison bill will
publish statement, giving the reasons for their
opposition to it.
