Check Raisers Checked.

A check for So, raised to $500, drawn by JUS
tlce Bradley TO the benefit OF the cadet corps to
which he wished TO subscribe the former
amount, was presented at the National Metro
politan Bank yesterday afternoon by Dis.
trict Messenger boy and was AT once seen to be
raised and payment refused. The messenger
boy left the bank and was followed by q bank
employe, who saw the messenger communal
cate with two men on corner near by. De-
tective Mattingly was given description OF
the men and is looking for them. IL is sup
posed that the check was obtained by some one

where the Ladies GET bargains.

Elsewhere In our columns Douglass displays
n price-list OF articles in his ninth annual sale
OF ladies' underwear, now In progress at his
street northwest. These sales have long been
recognized as offering great advantages to
judicious purchasers, and the unusually low
prices, combined with the superior material
and workmanship, render the articles en-
bractd in the immense assortments OF these
GALES specially good bargains. The ladies are
thronging the establishment daily, ana the
rapid sales testify In the highest terms to
superior advantages in prices and goods which
are offered by these extensive sales.

A victim of Russian Persecution.

The arrival OF Richard Wagner In Philadel-
phia renews the interest In tho investigation
pending for some time OF official outrages per-
petrated in Russia, OF which Wagner was the
victim.
He is an American citizen, and was visiting
Russia, when an effort was made TO secure his
arrest on charge OF desertion from the Rus
sian Army, and despite the injustice OF the
charge 1t was only by hiding from the author
tiles for several months aud brlbing number
OF detectives and minor officials that he sue
ceeded In escaping from the terrible fate OF
being exiled for desertion.
The matter has been investigated to some
extent, and there is no doubt that Wagner
was the victim OF persecution and extortlon.

If President Arthur as Is alleged by the anti
Arthur journals, Is using the federal machine
to influence the election Of delegates to tho Chi
cago convention, 1t is remarkable that no evl.
dence is furnished to su stain the charge, and that
80 much presumptIve evidence can be found
against II. The two newspapers which are most
constantly relteratihg or insinudtlng this accusa-
ton against the President arc the New York
Tribune (Which, sssisted.by the chief of the New
York custom house, is working.yigorously for Mr..
Baino) and the New York Times which Is lap.
pEently against everybody In general aud Mr.. Ar
thur in particular, The height of absurdity is
reached when tie President is represented as
manipulating "ah army of officials" while Mr..
Blaine is simply IA capable public servant who
has voluntarily retired from official life and who
does not even consent 10 have his friends consider
him candidate for any Office" This sort OF
stuff ia written on tho assumption that the Amer.

WE publish in to-day's issue another edi

deserving Of consideration by congress. We
continue TO believe that the Hcrad is mis-.
takeu in supposing that tho democrats in
either body will, Influenced by party mo-
tives, place themselves upon record as against
liberal appropriations for the navy at this
session. The republican party has so much
more to gain than it has to lose by this un-
patriotic course on the part of the democracy
that, from purely partisan point of view, it
could wish for nothing better than that its
opponents might commit such a blunder. 1t
is however, probable that tho democrats Of
tho house will discover their mistake in time.

steel vessels passed the senate by vote OF

THE annual boat race between tho Oxford

on the Thames yesterday and resulted in an
