Consul General Withers Charged
with ColIusion to Defraud.

Consul General WiChers Charged
with ColIusion to Defraud.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Informauion
received to-day at the State Department
is to the effect that Consul General With
ers at Hong Kong is in as bad odor as his
llustrious predecessor, Gen. John S.
Mosby. Withers is an ex-United States
Senator from Virginia. and was among
the first of Secretary Bayard's selections
to the diplomatic service. From the
charges filed al the State Department
it would seem that Withers has
been guilty of imposing great hard
ships upon American sailors, many of
whom, in order to be protected. have been
compelled to appeal to the British Con-
sui. as that representative accorded
them more privileges and greater liberty
than was given by the American repre-
sentative. Withers is charged with col
lusion among boarding-house keepers,
who have for some time carried on what
appears to be systematic method of ex-
tOrting from the American sailors all
moneys they may have in their posses
sion. The reports say that Withers has
been receiving S. from each sailor who
was thus thrown upon the mercy of
clearinghouse vampire.
An officer of the Asiatic squadron, who
makes the report, also charges Withers
with excessive intemperance, and says
he declines to see American sailors, or
even hear their complaints. The report
is quite sweeping in it's charges, and IL
not resulting in Mr.. Withers' dismissal
from the diplomatic service, there will, in
all probability, be rigid investigation In
aIituted.

SETTLING BIG BALANCES.
The Encouraging Aspect of Affairs
in Business Circles.

in Business Circles.
NEW YORK, Sept. lin the revival Of
business the encouraging Clearing House
returns of the great centres OF trade are
studied by merchants and bankers with
increasing interest. The Clearing House,
by the way, is one Of the strictly modern
inventions OF business men and illustrates
anew the fact that business In this epoch
has become q science. "In former times,V
saws a new literary celebrity In France,
the Able Roux, "literature was an art
and finance a business. Now their posi-
tions are reversed" This sounds some
what cynical, hut IL has a certain ring of
truth. Like all inventions. the Clearing
House came when it was most needed.
The restrictions upon banking In this
State, which were due doubtless TO the
early efforts OF Alex. Hamilton and Aaron
Burr, pioneers in finance as In politics,
were removed in 1849, and thereafter the
growth of banking in New York city was
very rapid. Up TO 1853, however, the
methods OF the banks were the same as
those Of some small town. From each
bank a clerk started out every morning
with accounts against other banks, and IL
was frequently 3 O'Clock before he could
finish his work. OFTEN he was so ham
pered by the large sums of money which
he carried that IL was conn paratiyelv easy
for couple OF able-bOdied thieves TO rob
him Of all be carried. After a number of
"runnerso had been robbed, a detective
or constable, as the policeman was
called in old days, was detailed TO protect
them. Ieteven then the transfer OF hun.
dreds OF thousands ofd0llars by messenger
became so risky that IN 1853 fifty-two
banks met and agreed TO form Clearing
House. One was already in existence in
London, and with some innovations TO
suit the customs OF New York the Lon
don plan was adopted. BY this plao Of
course all the accounts which one bank
has against another are taken TO one
place, namely, the Clearing House build
ing, handsome structure at the corner
OF Pine and Nassau streets. IL frequent
ly happens that a bank has perhaps
81, 900, 900 due from another bank, which
in turn has an account Tor the same
amount, or about that sum, against the
first named. The transaction can be set
tied at the Clearing House by checking IL
of or by the payment OF small sum,
without the risk involved in transferring
$1,000, 900 or anything ike that amount by
messenger.
The largest balance that any bank ever
received at the Clearing House was on
Nov. II, 1868, the amount being $l0,5S5,-
All 81. Sometimes, on the other nand,
the balance due 10 a bank Is not more
than 81. This recalls the fact that In New
York business check was once made for
58c. The late Isaac W. England, once
publisher OF the New York sun. was some

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Prince Alexander's
fete day was the occasion OF great rejoic-
ings at PhilIippopoilis. The festivities
were continued throughout the night.
Bodies of troops headed by bands paraded
through the town, and the streets re-
sounded with the cheers of the populace.
In the evening IA brilliant display of fire.
works was made at Varna. Prayers for
Prince Alexander were offered in the
churches. A Te Deum was sung at
the Russian Consulate in honor
OF the Gar. Only fifteen persons were
present. Troops were stationed around
the Consulate to prevent disorder.
AT Sofa six Roumelian regiments were
presented with new colors. The colors
have at the top the Bulgarian lion, and
on the borders the motto: "God with u.s."
and on all the corners Prince Alexander's
monogram. After the presentation of the
colors the troops were reviewed. They
made splendid appearance.
The Novoe Vremya, OF st. Peterburg,
says: great mistake has been COM
mitted If the double celebration of Prince
Alexander and the Cars fete day con-
tanned an arriere pehsee, or If the pre-
sentation OF the colors to the Roumelan
regiments was intended to f1atter Prince
Alexander. Russia, 1t says, will indicate

A VISIT TO ALASKA.
Barbarous Treatment of Eighty
Seven Chinamen-A Glacier.

Seven Chinamcn-A Glacier.
From The NeaO York 7ri6vae.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Dr. s. r. Haven, of
this city, was one of several persons who
recently visited Alaska. The party in-
cluded Chief Justice Waite, Bishop War
Ohio. DR.. Haven has just returned TO
this city. In speaking OF the trip he said
that among the points visited was
Juneau, a village on Douglass Island OF
200 Inhabitants. At Juneau is the fam.
Gus Treadwell gold mine, owned and Op-
Grated by company at the head of
which Is Senator Jones, of Nevada.
The company has l20-stamp mill in
operation. For some time the company
had in its employ eighty-seven Cinnamon.
Early this summer man named Nc
Caffrey, who was the leader OF the attack
upon the Chinese at Seattle, arrived at
Juneau and at once began to excite the
people against the Chinese. He finally
succeeded in getting together mob Of
about seventy-five men, chiefly prOspec-
tors and gamblers, and they at once pro-
ceeded TO eject the Cinnamon from the
country. They procured two small open
yachts, of carrying capacity OF ten per-
sons each, crowded the Cinnamon aboard
twenty-five days. journey,
without other provisions than raw rice.
The steamer on which DR.. Haven and his
friends were making their trip met the
two yachts with their crowded cargGes on
Aug. 10. They gave the Cinnamon some
aid in the way of provisions, but were
unable to do more. The members of the
party wrote protest against this cruel
treatment OF the Chinese, and 1t was for
warded by eX-Gov. Boadly to President
Cleveland. The fate OF the Chinese is as
yet unknown, although 1t was certain
that they cou Id not com plete their journey
without great suffering.
The Alaska Indian, DIR. Haven says, is
a much superior creature to the Indian
OF the Western States and Territories.
They are full-bearded men and work will
ingly at heavy labor. They possess many
OF the elements of the civilized man, the
first and chief Of which is their love for
money: secondly, their recognition OF
the obligation OF contract, and thirdly,
their love for their women. The great
Muir glacier which was discovered by
Vancouver in 1891 was visited
by the party. 1t Is larger
than all the glaciers of Europe
together. 1t is some $50 feet thick, from
ten TO twenty-five miles wide, and ex-
tends back for eighty-five miles, where IL
is still larger. That Alaska viii ever
become an agricultural country, Is not
believed by DR.. Haven. The climate is
not nearly so mild as Is that OF Norway.
As a country full of magnificent aud
picturesque scenery 1t Is not equalled by
any other In the world and 1t IL easily
and comfortably accessible.

WHERE is BEECHERs soNp
The Ex Collector Fails to Explain
an Apparent Deficiency.

dn apparent ue1ICIenCY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Treasury
officials are having considerable difficulty
in settling the accounts of ex-Collector
Henry f. Beecher, son OF the Brooklyn
divine. More than year ago he was ap-
pointed Collector at Port Townsend, on
the Pacific coast, and served until reie ct-
ed by the Senate near the close OF
the recent session. When he gave
up his office, Aug. last. to
deputy, there was a
transaction involving 10000 growing out
of the seizure OF q quantity of opium at
Port Townsend made during Beecher's
incumbency. 1t was his duty to deposit
the amount to the credit Of the Treasury
Department, but when his vouchers came
along there was but $50, 900 accounted for
as deposited. This amount had been put
in bank but few days before the Senate
rejected Beecher's nomination, and there
was an apparent deficiency of $1,000.
Letters and telegrams were sent to Port
Townsend, San Francisco and other
places where it was thought that Mr..
Beecher could be found, but up to date
not word has been received in reply.
Incidentally it was ascertained that the
deputy lett In charge OF the office had ex-
pended the amount in question for col
lectIng revenue which, as he is not
bonded officer, he had no right to do.
Meanwhile the vouchers are held up for
an explanation from Beecher, and the
Treasury officials say that since his
course has been so unbusiness-like there
Is not much chance for his denomination
by the President.

VICTORIA HOME AGAIN.
A Reconciliation Effected Between
Mr.. MOrosini and His Daughter.

n RECOMMENDATION EneCte0 between
Mr.. Morosini and His Daughter.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-It was definitely
ascertained to-day that a reconciliation
has taken place between Mr.. Morosini
and his daughter, Victoria, and that she
is now in her tather's house, whittier she
went upon leaving her husbands home
eleven days ago. A little less than two
years of life with the man for whom she
had forsaken ease and luxury has appar-
emily satisfied her that she took false
step, and 1t required but little persuasion
to induce her to return home.
The chief agent IN bringing about the
reconciliation was George B. Mcclellan,
who lkes at the WestmoreIand, and it
was IA Who arranged several conferences
between Victoria and her father. The
last took place the Sunday before her dis
appearance and was held in this city, and
it was then that she was finally forgiven
and agreed to return to her home.
That a divorce from Schilling Will be
obtained is unquestioned. That the hus-
band will receive $4,000 or any other
diately conl ned. Young Mcclellan b as
gone on an extended vacation to Europe,
and will probably visit Paris and the
East before be sees New York again. In
talking to a friend before she returned
home Victoria said:

to Europe l was so hOmesIck l had to come
back. My life has been miserable ever
