letters IN Chicago, Denver, Santa Fe, San
Francisco, and, it is believed, the City ol
Mexico. The three men arrested arrived in
the city this morning, one coming from
Santa Fe, one from Chicago, and one from
further east.
For two weeks United States secret service
officers have been aware that atcounterfeiters
were at work in New Mexico, and would
soon spring mine which was to flood both
the United States and Mexico with
BOGUS SIS. $40 AND $50 GOLD PIECES.
A deputy district attorney named Cage
was sent out o investigate and succeeded
in joining the counterfeiters. His report
shows that the band consists of residents
of Chicago, New York and other cities.
The counterfeiters were to manufacture
some good coins as '.feelers," after which
bogus stuff" was to be made OF a chemical
material warranted to wear for year and
sold to consumers at the rate OF 81 200
Tor "a pounds.
The preparation to be used had large

arrised here at noon and registered at the
Windsor where he was met by two accom-
plices. While discussing the prospects,
Cage, who was in the r, ON, gave the signal
and the officers, with drawn revolvers
walked in and captured the men. Con-
material including perfect die
and some OF the money were captured.
Some OF the money was pure gold, and
when tested at the Mint was pronounced
good.
Other arrests will probably follow.

George Whiting, on the island between this

| EXECUTIVE UsURPATION.
| The Senate Pensions Committee Handle

WASHINGTON, June 2Sth.-Senator David
to-day submitted to the Senate the report of
the Committee on Pensions upon the eight
vetoed pension bills, the merits of which
the report discusses in detail, and the pas
sage OF which it recommends, the obiec-
tions of the Presid, Mt notwithstanding.

A WOMEN'S VICTORY.
Novel Scenes at a Prohibition Election in
Missouri.

KANSAS CITY. June 2Sth.-After the most
exciting local-option fight ever known in
Missouri, the Prohibitionists of Independ-
ence, the county seat of this county, and
the oldest town in Missouri, won a great
victory yesterday, carrying the town cleo
| ton by over 200 majority, and ending the
sale of liquor for four years. Women were
everywhere-at the Understands, at the
polls and on the street corners-wearipg
silk badges and with dry ballots in their
hands. Girls stood at the polls, and at
every voting place was banner on which
WAS inscribed Temperance Beaus, or no
Beaus at ALL" Free dinners were served
at the polling places.
HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN CARRIED BANNERS

cincts Some of these were inscribed {:

DANA'S ADVICE.
The Democrats Had Better Omit Under.
rating the Republican Ticket.

WASHINGTON, June 2Sth.-An editorial
in the New York Sun has had the effect of
snbeTing enthusiastic Democrats here. The
Sun points out that Blaine and Logan
carried States which yielded them 1872
electoral votes in 1884. 1t also calls atten-
ton 10 the fact that the Democrats lost
Indiana in 1886 by 8 32f votes, and that the
fifteen votes of Indiana added to the votes
of States carried by Blaine and Logan
would leave Harrison and Morton within
four votes of the number required to elect
1t also calls attention to the fact that the vote
in Connecticut has always been remarkably
close, and that the Prohibition vote there,
which was more that the Democratic major
ity in 1884, is likely to fall back into The
Republican column. and that State on
the tariff issue is quite likely to go Republi-
can.
The Sun concludes its editorial in these
words: 1t will not do for the Democrats to
underrate the political importance of the
Harrison and Morton ticket while the nom
ination makes Indiana and Connecticut
| from this time on the veritable battle
| ground. New York is not withdrawn from
! the question, for while it is absolutely IN
| dispensable to the success of Cleveland
and Thurman. its loss would by no means
| deprive the Republicans of their chances
| or render the fight hopeless for them.
They won the election of 1868 without
New York, and they might be able to do it
again. Underlying all this is the fact that
General Harrison, like General Garfield, is
an Ohio man, native of the Buckeye
State, and that Morton, like Arthur, the
Presidential nominee of the ticket, is a
! New Yorker.
Indeed, the Republican ticket of 1888
has many points of resemblance to the Re-
publican ticket of 1880, and as all Democrats
will remember the latter event, about the
best thing the Democrats of the doubtful
States can DO now is to cease contemplat,
ing the weakness of the ticket which their
| opponents have put up and to develop
what strength and stability appertains to
their own.
