Some Details OF Grant & Ward.

New YORK, June 1a.-Testimony was
taken before the referee to-day in another
suit growing out of the Grant &
Ward failure. Joseph n. II. Morris,
receiver of lhe Marine bank,
charges that James d. Fish conveyed to
six relatives on Dec. 81, 1888, property that
should have gone to creditors OF the bank.
S. E. Spencer, cashier for Grant s. Ward,
testified that the firms capital was $500, 600.
Of the cash contributed U. S. Grant put
in $92, 600, U. S. Grant, Jr., $50, 600, and
Ferdinand Ward $50, 900. Fish contributed
no cash. The balance of the $40, 600
was made up of -four" notes, bonds and
stock by all members offering. Spencer
said the loans Of securities often ran so high
as $1,000, 600. 1t was frequently the case
that the firm paid more for the use of
money than it received on loans. Witnes
said Fish sometimes drew on his privats
account to show fictitious earnings TO de-
positors. He stated that Grant e Ward did
a losing business after February 49, 1882.

morrow morning. They say frankly that
they have no idea when the Minnesota Of

Biermann finds no opposition to himself for

away confident that he will win the prize
when that office is filled. The absurd story
published in the Pioneer Press,
claiming that Kelly had withdrawn
his support from Biermann because Of
his attitude in the Winona postOffice mat

false. He says that he has no intimation
that Kelly had withdrawn his support and
that he certainly has not changed his atti-

Retremchn,ent and Reform.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The reductions
in the pay rolls of the agricultural depart
ment for the month of May were little
over $3, 600, as compared with the previous
monthly average. Additional reductions
for June amounting to about $500 have been
made and others are thought to be inevitable
in order to prevent deficiency. The work
ing force of the statistical bureau has
already been greatly reduced, but a
close computation discloses the fact that
the available funds in hand are insufficient
to carry the work through the month upon
the present scale, and it is sapprehended that
the discharge or suspension of nearly all the
remaining force will take place at once. On
the other side considerable fund appro-
priated for the bureau of animal industry
and available for no other bureau, will be
returned to the treasury while the entomal-
ogical bureau and one or two Others of the

Still Another Conference.

PITTsBURG, June 12.-The probable out
come Of tO-morrow's conference of iron
manufacturers and workmen was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in iron circles to-
day. Both sides are uncOmmunicative, but
outsiders, having no information on the
situation further than the fact that the
manufacturers have moved for confer
ence, are inclined to think the miners
terms will be accepted and the mills
started up next week.
1t is said that the call for another con-
ference was made by three prom
lnent iron firms here, who
want to sign the workers call and end the
strike, The other manufacturers disap-
prove Of any such action. They will hold
meeting tomorrow morning, and
a lively time is expected. If the
council of the three firms don't prevail
there will be no conference with the work
men in the afternoon, and theMstrike will
continue. The CanOnsburg iron mills at
Canonsburg, Pa, resumed operation to-day
with nOn-ulliOn men.

Mail SubsidyKiIle

WASHINGTON, June 12.-With the ap-

general has decided not to advertise for bids
to enter into contracts for the transporta-
ton of foreign mails upon the mileage
basis. MI. Villas enters into long argu-
ment on the subject and concludes by say
ing:
1t has seemed, therefore, better to remit
the subject to congress for more explicit
legislation than to attempt to distribute a
large sum of money not in fact required for
use for which it was appropriated merely
because the act of congress gives license.

time ago Gould calculated that the old issue
Of Manhattan railway stock would suffer
decline. He accordingly went short of it
in the market. A court decision, think it
was, put a different aspect on the matter
and rise in the stock was inevitable.
Gould was obliged to ''cover'' his short in
terest. Connor was equal to the emer
gency. He knew that Russell Sage held
great deal Of the stock. He rushed into
Sage's Office and, as if doing Sage a favor,
told the latter to hurry up and sell his stock
because it was going all to pieces. ConnOr
bought all that sage sold to ''cover"
GOuld's shorts. When the de-
livery was made of course Sage
found it out, and he was hopping mad, but
he could not help himself. Sage probably
made 5000, 900 by his connection with
Gould, the latter letting him into schemes
that brought him large profits. Sage helped
Gould at time when the latter sorely
needed money, and afterward Gould showed
his gratitude by putting the former in the
way of adding immensely to his fortune.
Gould, however, helped himself to large
slice Of Sage's fortune last year during the
great decline in values His brokers had
bought enormous numbers of puts of Sage,
