A. r. STEWARDS BONES,
The True story Of their Purchase from
the Mcn Who Stole Them.

BosroN, Mass, January 8.-The Globe
publishes special from New York, giving
what is alleged to be the true story OF the
recovery Of Stewards body. The cores.
pondent, who claims to speak on high au.
thority, says Judge Hilton woke up to the
peril Of refusing to negotiate with the
robbers in The fall Of 1881, when one OF his
servants, happening to go out Of the door
atnight, discovered some men at the foot
OF long ladder that was erected against
the side Of the mansion. They immedi.
ntely fed and he alarmed the household.
at the top Of the ladder window was
open, tho window Of the room where slept
Judge Hilton's 7-year old son. Then came
an anonymous letter: you were in time
last night; next time you will be too late"
Hilton yielded to Mrs. Stewards view OF the
case, and negotiations were reopeGed. There
was a good deal Of shreTd bargaining as
to the actual sum OF money to be paid,
and OF last the sum Of $50 900 was fixed
on, the thieves insisting on getting the
money ia hand before delivering the body.
The place, selected for tho delivery was
small bare hill in Westchester county, com.
the approaches from every side.
The directions 10 Judge Hilton run virtual:
ly thus: I'VE will be- thera at 4 o'clock
Sunday morning with tho body. You send
one man unarnied on foot with $50, 900 for
us. When he has given US the money We
will leave him in possession ofthe body"
The program vas actually carried out A
plucky servant Of the late Mr.. Stewart was
selected TO complete the purchase. He
walked to the top OF the hill and was ex.
amined for weapons by masked men, who
then accepted the money and departed,
leaving the tormented body behind them
in q trunk, While the negotiations were
pending the villains proved their identity
by sending 10 Judge Hilton piece Of pa.
per exactly tie size and shape Of the pieces
Of zgzig cloth they had cut from the lin
ing Of the riils cotlin they had left behind
them TO the Stewart vault.

TIE WHISKY LOBBY.
Probability that thu Bonded Whisky
Bill vii, Fail.


Bill will Fail.
Ffom Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, January 9.--It is a pretty
strong lobby the whisky men have formed
in the interest Of the bill to extend the
bonded period Of whisky, but there is little
doubt that the proposition will fail. Last
winter they began in the Senate, and the
bill went through. /! failed in the House
The whisky mon have begun in the House
this timc, for the reason that they believe
1t will give il IN impetus in the Senate il
the Hcu.e pas1es it t.st, and because the
complexion OF the Senate has changed
somewhat, aud then it is slower getting up
measure in tho House than in the Sen.
ate.
Figures have been made by those against
the extension OF the bonded period which
argue strongly in their way. The PROPOSE
ton to extend the bonded period is a re-
quest simply TO loan them, without inter-
est, up \ ards OF s66. .00o,0 900 for two years.
The extent OF tho reque1t can easily be
computed. In their fight the whisky men
seem to have drawn no strength outside OF
these directly Observation-Disclosures, and the
bankers who have loaned them the money
to carry their tax Of ninety cents per gal
lon n iyear. Against them they have ar:
rayed all Of that class who are prejudiced
against whisky and any proposition look
ing towards leniency to those who deal in
it or take it as chattel security. In the
present condition Of sentiment it is very
doubtful if it can go through either branch
of Congress. s.-E,,.

WASHINGTON, Januay 0.-There Is every

light made on the efforts to relieve the
National Banks. have talked to quite q
number oi the members Of the House on
the various propositions that have been
made looking 10 the relief Ct tho National
BAnks, and conclude that there Is little
hope Of getting anything gthrough the lower
branch Of Congress. l. is believed that
Senator sherman's proposition to increase
the circulation OF banks by permitting
them to issue ninety percent Of the mar.
ket value Of their deposited United States
bonds instead Of ninety percent OF the face
value Of the bonds will pass the Senate,
but no one seems to think 1t can stand the
ordeal OF theNllouse. The hsll recognizes
the premium there is In the market on
Government bonds, and allows an issuance
Of bank notes upon the basis OF that pre-
MUM, which would increase the present
volume of National Bank circulation up.
wards Of twenty percent. It.is mainly op.
posed on the ground that the premium on
Government bonds Aactuates very mate
rally, and that the Government assumes
too mitch risk In fuch a proposition.
But a Democratic member from West.
ern Slate expressed his views on national
banks in these words tonight: fg, )
"Ihe national banks do not need half 80
much protective legislation as do the busi.
ness interests outside Of the financial cir.
cles. Tho banks are not suffering, and
they have already grown 60 powerful that
they are clae,ed among ;the monopoles
and corporations that assume to control the
legislation and commercial interests Of the
country. Bhall, on this ground, oppose
anything that tends to make monopoles
more monopolistic."
II Is said that Senator Sherman cast
about among the legislators sufficient to
learn that he could not get through bill
authorizing the irsuance OF long. standing,
low.rate of-interest bond, and that hc ~.
sorted TO this as last means 10 help the
banks out OF a position that 1t seems time
will wind them up in. At the present rate
Of contraction Of the circulation tie whole
system OF national banking will be ruined
in six or eight years. The temper OF the
present House appears 10 be 10 close out or
abolish the present national banking sys.
TEN. The people may convince the
moi 'rlty to the contrary, however.
