NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. livery early this
morning it was reported on the streets that
c. d. Graham had made his long-contem-
plated trip over the Horseshoe falls. Less
than dozen are willing to testify that the
trip was squarely made, while the barrel.
which could be seen in the eddy below the
falls, where a boat could hardly reach, is
offered as evidence. Graham, who is
in bed at Horne's Hotel and some
of the party who claim to have
seen the trip, tell the story as
follows: The barrel. which is the one in
which he made his trip through the whirl-
the bridge about o'clock this morning
and launched just below Chippewa creek.
Considerable work had been done on the
barrel since last Sunday in the way of pad
ding, etc. Two sand bags had also been
strapped to the bottom on the inside.
The barrel was towed out in the river by
Garry Staley and Andrew Holm, reputable
citizens of Niagara Falls. The manhole
was packed to make it water-tight. and
when the cover was shut down it was fas-
over it and secured by. spring lock.
At Gas o'clock the barrel was cut loose,
and after taking a passage similar to the
one of two weeks ago, was seen to pass
over lQe ldllS dDOub bNO lccb lIOul
the shore at ITO O'clock. 1t was out of
sight "a little over minute, and came out
from, under the falls right side up and
drifted into one of the eddies.
Elmer Jones, an expert swimmer, swan
out and brought in one of the lines attached,
and. with the assistance of Mr.. Cahill,
pulled the craft ashore and opened the
barrel, at 7:35 o'clock, it having been closed
about fifty minutes. Graham says of his
trip: THE ride through the rapids is as
nothing compared with it. The rapids be-
fore reaching the brink, and which look SO
small from the shore. are not at all pleasant.

In It-Basis Of Rates Agreed Upon.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. Lit transpires that
both Norvin Green, the president of the
Western Union Company, and John w.
Mackay, the president of the Postal Tele-
graph Company. were in Washington on
Saturday and held long consultation with
the Postmaster general. leaving on the
limited express with him for Philadelphia
in the afternoon. and riding together as
far as that city. There have been some
rather sensational stories published about
an arrangement entered into by Mr.. Wana-
maker and. Mr. Green, but the OBJ
ject of the meeting was to con-
tinue in private the discussion that
has been carried on through the news
papers for two months regarding the price
to be paid for the transmission of telegraph
messages. 1t may be said that Mr.. Wana-
maker is not so fierce in private rs he IS IN
print, and that he does not intend TO treat
unjustly even so wicked a monopoly as the
Western Union Company. DIR. Green and
he found q basis upon which they can agree
as to rates, and it was also accepted by
Mr.. Mackay Oh behalf of the Postal COM
pany. hequestion of uniting the tele-
graph and the mail service and using the
letter-carriers to collect and deliver mes
sages was only touched upon during the
conference, but it is pet plan of Mr..
Wanamaker's and he will doubtless mako
some such recommendation In his report.

Claim that the Money to Build 1t Was Bor-
rowed from Virginia and Never Paid.
Special 10 the Indianapolis JournaI
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The recent agita-
tion about building a new and more ex-
pensive presidential mansion has brought
to the surface an old mortgage on the White
House, that has been forgotten or lost
sight of for long time. Mr.. NJ. Is. Harlow,
secretary and treasurer of the Mount YER
non-avenue Association, is the man who
brings forward the claim. In an interview
about the proposed new executive mansion.
he says: "I am glad to see the subject agi-
tated, and hope it will be taken up and
pushed by Congress When is. our associa-
tion, to whom the Virginia Legislature has
transferred its claim against the govern
ment for money borrowed by General
Waship gton TO build the present structure.
will present that claim and ask for pay
ment for the old before it commences the
new. The claim. which is for Sl20.0oO. has
never been denied by the government, nor
can it be- for we have the promise of the
government made through Washington, to
pay the money back 10 Virginia should it
ever be willing to do so. We will not per-
haps ask that the claim be paid In money,
but will probably request that Congress
defray the expense of building the proposed
national highway TO sMount Vernon. If
they agree we will transfer the Virginia
mortgage on the White House as O contri-
button to the project"

Heavy Offerings Of Bonds No Indication OF
Stringency-NIr. Bachelors Views.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-Attempts are be-
ing made by certain self-styled financial
writer's with bearish tendencies to show
that the recent heavy offerings of bonds for
redemption are proof of serious state of
affairs in the money market. That this idea
is correct. is not believed for moment by
the Treasury officials, nor is it borne out by
the facts. The total purchases of fours and
four-and-a-halfs during the past ten days.
have aggregated about $22,000,000. "The
offerings have been remarkably steady"
said acting Secretary Bachelor to your
correspondent last evening. land there is
not the faintest Indication that they
resulted from any panicky feeling in the
money centers. On the contrary, they
came from excellent houses and simply in
dicate that the holders of the bonds have
made up their minds that the government
does not intend TO advance the price which
will be paid.
ut is worthy of note" he continued,
''that while last year at this time the actual
surplus in the treasury was about one hun
dred and seven million dollars 1t Is now re-
duced to below forty millions, and this In
spite of the fact that the price paid Is per
cent. below the figures prevailing year
ago. / consider the financial situation
healthy and encouraging" 1t is expected
that the offerings will continue quite heavy
during the present week.
