EXPERT NOTE RAISING.
A 81 Certificate Changed Into $40
National Bank Note.

A 81 Certificate Changed Into $40
National Bank Note.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. - Probably the
most expert piece of note raising ever at
tempted, has been received at the treasury
department from Denver. Col. 1t is in the
form of 81 certificate, with the Martha
Washington head. raised to a $40 national
bank note. When the great difference in
the designs of the two notes is taken into
consideration, the work of the note raiser is
remarkable and cannot be detected without
close scrutiny.
THE yrGNErTE REMOVED.
The vignette Of Martha Washington on
the face OF the certificate has been so re-
duced in shade that it is not visible except
on close inspection, and over that picture
of Benjamin Franklin has been painted.
All the heavy dark background of the
vignette has been entirely erased, and above
the vignette has been reproduced counter
in which are written the letters ten" On
the right side of the face of the note the
treasury number has been transformed into
die bearing the figures 10.
A CLEVER TRANSPORTATION.
The geometrical lathe work on the right
side of the face of the note has been trans
formed into the figure of a woman resting
on the back Of an eagle soaring above the
clouds The words ''oae SILVER dollar" on
the geometrical die in the centre of the face
have been cleverly changed TO 'ten dollars"
On the back of the note, the large figure one
on either end has been removed, and by
skillful use of chemical and ink the note
raiser has on the left produced an
almost exact copy of the coat-of-nrms of one
of the western states aud on the right hand
an eagle and flag inclosed in an oval, which
appears on this part OF every national bank

NEW York, Sept. 21.-The delegates of
the County Democracy organization to the
state convention at Saratoga held an ad-

Of representation in the convention the

BANK ROBBERS In LUCK.
A LONDON INSTITUTION OUT FROM
$75o,ooo TO $1,I5o,ooo.

A Large Parcel OF Bills Remitted
From Country Banks Turns Up Miss.
ing-The Actual Method of the Rob
berry Kept From the Public-A For
mer Raul Recalled.
LONDON, Sept 21.-Another heavy bank
effort is being made to suppress the facts,
no authoritative story can be told. So far
as known, however, it is this: A large par
eel of bills remitted from country banks
has been stolen from the London and West
minister Bank, limited, which is an i'm
portant institution, having fifteen or more
branches in this city The amount lost is
variously stated from $3.50, 900 to 81, 10000
The matter has become public through
notices TO the banks, and to the police cen>
ters of the country and through espionage
over departing vessels at all ports of the
United Kingdom.
THEORY OF THE POLICE.
The theory of the police is that no at
tempt will be made to use the money in
Great Britain, but that it will be taken
abroad. most likely to the continent, where
a great deal of English money circulates.
The actual method Of the robbery is to the
public, entirely onjectural, but the circum-
stance recalls clever robbery last February
of n clerk Of the London branch of the Bank
of Scotland as he stood at the public counter
Of the National Provincial Bank. The
thieves obtained 100000 by that haul and
nothing has ever been heard OF them or the
money. Quite recently it was reported
that the Bank Of England had been robbed
or &250, 900, but that statement was denied
by the officers Of that bank.

Fight Between the Parties.
LONDON, Sept. 2L-John Morley deliv-
cred a speech at Cambridge this evening.
He said that the next general election would
be a straight fight between the liberals and
tories. There would be no dissident Liberal
party. He disputed in detail the claims
whereon the conservatives would base
their appeal to the country,
namely, their foreign policy. constructive
statesmanship and pacification of Ireland
The whole cost and risk of England's in
definite and persistent occupation of Egypt
should be recognized. The local govern
ment and free education bills were merely
skeleton bills. The Irish land purchase bill
was a monument Of destructive rather than
of constructive craftsmanship.
EXTREME SAFEGUARDS.
The extreme safeguards and restrictions
which he predicted would accompany the
Irish LOCAL government bill would only pro-
long and embitter the Irish controversies in
parliament Though he differed with
o majority of the Newcastle con-
gress on the eight-hour question, be
hailed the discussion with hope
and satisfaction, having every confidence
in the soundness Of the ultimare Judgment
Of the workers seeking to improve their
own welfare. He advocated that village
councils manage all their local affairs be-
fore tackling special reforms. However,
the liberals must fulfill their home rule

The financial condition of Italy, due in great
part to her armament as a member of the triple
alliance, is very nearly az bad as it can be. The
failure of a number of banks and mercantile
houses and the uneasy state Of business in the
peninsula, together with the slowness with
which the government is able to contract the
last loan, show tina, she is in no condition to
insist upon unreasonable demands. The mod
crate tone Of the Rudini ministry. therefore,
in the negotiations with this republic is not a
matter of surprise. Italy is that great power
Of Europe which is most uncertain of its foot
ing among the six. Others have age, diplomatic
experience, military and naval organization
that In never to be effected in a short time and
that economic grip which is the mainstay Of
every important nation. In the present un-
steadiness in European politics Italy well sees
that II behooves her TO be calm and add no un-
necessary complication to those in which she is
already involved. There has been since the
DAYS Of Cavour and the early period Of Italian
unity something Of q decline in statesmanship,
but il Is safe to say that the genius of remark
able people will enable them to avoid the
breakers ahead.

. Sir Charles Upper and the other Canadian

fninistration has not heretofore exhibited any
great zeal in this behalf and il IL strongly sus-

undoubted feeling in Canada in favor of some
sort Of reciprocity. The probabilities are that
II the naked issue had been presented in the
late elections to the voters of the Dominion,

the result would have been a decision squarely
in favor Of liberal reciprocity The vote of
