SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The Northwest Already Literally Sprinkled

The Northwest Already Literally Sprinkled
with Teu-Dollar Counterfeits.
Chicago Herald.
'The first day after 1t was announced that the
new $40 silver certificates were ready for circu
lation." said an old Washington-street detective
yesterday, "a applied at of the big
banks in Washington, and exchanged 500 bill
for ten of the new certificates. A few days later
this man, accompanied by half q dozen compan-
ions, boarded train at the Baltimore & Ohio
depot, and came to Chicago. Their baggage
consisted of three valses and long brown
trunk. They left the train at the Lake Front
Depot, and mysteriously disappeared Almost
Immediately after their arrival large numbers of
the new certificates made their appearance in the
business houses and banks of the city. They
we're crisp, and clean and fully as pretty "a the
newspapers had cracked them to be. Bank
tellers, always cautious about taking bills of a
new issue, subjected the certificates to a rigid
examination, and pronounced them genuine.
In this they were mistaken, for in nearly, if not
every instance the bill was as bogus as
oleomargarine. The fraud was not dis
covered until the town had be-
come pretty well papered with the stuff.
The bogus certificate is a magnificent piece Of
work, and were it not for slight flaw the
back Of the bill doubt much if it would not be
taken as good money at any of the subtreas
uries. Of course I don't know whether the
counterfeiters brought their plates and dies with
Snem, but understand that the secret service
men would deem it a greater triumph to capture
these things than they would the mere arrest of
the gang They say that the paraphernalia of
the men is so complete and dangerous that unless
the stuff is taken the entire issue Of certificates
Will have to be called in by the government and
destroyed This story was told to me by gov

When I asked him how he knew that the man
who exchanged the 800 bill for genuine certifi-

THE THESIS BOYCOTTERS.
Governor Hill COmmutes the Sentences and
the Prisoners Are Forthwith Released.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 11.-Governor Hill has
commuted to 100 days each the terms of i'm
prisonment of Michael Struh and number of
other boycotters, who were convicted with him
and sentenced to Imprisonment for terms rang
ing from one year and half to three years and
eight months These are the men who forced
Brewer Thesis to pay a large sum of money
to secure the removal of the boycott
upon his beer hall, on the ground that the sum
extorted had been expended in prosecuting the
boycott Governor Hill makes the point that
these men did not know that they were violating
the law in doing as they did such construction
of their acts never before having been laid down
by the courts; that they did not demand this
money secretly or for their own use; that the
money actually expended in the
boycott; and that when collected
from Thesis it was returned to the
union which advanced it. The application of
the law having been established. and the Gov
ernor having assurances both from the prison
ers and from the Central Labor Union that they
will hereafter implicitly obey it, and refrain
from exacting damages for the expense of prose
cutting boycotts, the ends of justice have been
attained; hence the communication, which he
grants. STIMULATING distinctly that future vloators
of this statute need expect no clemency from
HIM. Under the eommutatlon, the terms of the
prisoners expire to-day.

When the question arose about arming this

Uncertainties of the Situation.

Gable Special to New York Times.
Even the tabled Philadelphia lawyer would be
puzzled to tell at the present moment what the
Bulgarian imbroglio is like. Every day it is a
toss-up between war and peace. Every morning
one looks at his papers, equally prepared for
tidngs of Russian occupation news of Rus
sian apology all around. The Times sums up
the situation cleverly when it says: "Whe
diplomacy prefers to believe that an armed COLI
sion will be postponed until spring there is no
rational explanation of Kaulbarss course, save
the theory that he is laboring to provoke imme-
date Russian occupation" During the week
there have been incessant reports of great
Russian preparations. including the establish
ment of big military hospital the
Galican frontier, and the forced march of
all troops at the recent Bender maneu-
vers down into Bessarabia. Oddly enough,
while Kaulbars is doing all in his power to pre-
cipitate war being in daily telegraphic commu-
nicaton with the Car. and while the Russian
army is hastily getting ready for action, the Rus
sian Pan Slavist press has begun to moderate its
zeal, and now counsels leaving Bulgaria to her
fate. The pressure of the military party for
war is said also to have sensibly abated The
explanation of this probably is that the officers
are beginning to reflect upon the physical dis
comforts of a winter campaign in the Balkans,
