THE sTANDIFORD STEAL.
Friend and Foe Alike Robbed
With q Free Hand.

CHRISTIAN, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-This little
town is still in Juror of excitement
over the absconding of the Standiford
brothers, bankers. 1t is thought the
brothers are ahead all the way from
$4,000 to 100000. The Standifords
treated friend and foe alike in their
tieecing game. They spared neither the
rich nor the poor, the old OF young, and
among the victims are the rich farmer,
Woodworking tenant, school teacher,
servant girl, widow and orphan. 1t is
severe blow to Chrsman, and it Will be
years before the town will recover from
1t. A reward has been offered for the
arrest OF the Standifords.
About month ago the bank building
was burned and the StahnifordS opened
for business the next morning on the
east side of the square. They went to
few of their largest depOsitors and
told them that their safe was so hot til at
they could not open it without destroy
ing everything 1t contained, and asked
these parties to give them their notes
for $4,000 each for thirty days, and
they could get them discounted here in
this city and go ahead with their bust
ness.
For an accommodation three of these
notes were given for $4,000 each, and
others given. amounting to $4,000 in
all. The Standifords got the money on
these notes. If the signers of these
notes are compelled to pay them it will
break them up. This fact has been kept
secret until to-day. This will make
the Standifords' liabilities over $500, 900.
The safe was opened by an expert to-
day, and all it contained was SO in
small coin. The grand jury returned
fifteen indictments for forgery, embez-
Element, obtaining money under false
pretences and larceny.

LONDON. Oct. $40 say that aristo-

mand in the Liberal federation for the
abolition of the house of lords, is to put
1t mildly. The public declaration that
the upper house shall be done away
with was discussed last night in the
clubs as nothing short of treason, and it
was amusing to see retired admirals
and generals fretting and tuning over
the daring impotence of common peo-
pie who thus undertook to assail one of
the cherished institutions of monarchy.
Mr.. Gladstone's speech, threatening
the Immediate extinction of the house
in case it should hold out against an
Irish home rule bill, has made the
noble lords even angrier than before;
and there are menaces, loud and deep,
OF what will happen should an attempt
be made at coercion. On the other hand,
it is said that movement is on foot.
prompted by Lord Salisbury, to re-es-
tablish the house of lords in the good
opinion of the nation by inducing the
peers OF the better class to be regular in
their attendance, and to revive by their
presence the prestige of the high-born.
lt,is said that the house is In danger
of dying out OF existence through the
very neglect of its own members.
Among the absentees are most of the
men who really have the prestige of
family or personal standing that would
make their acts as Legislators influential
with the people. A few old legal drones,
few bishops, the members of the gov
eminent who are peers and a few 9TH
ers who drop in to say that they have
been there constitute the actual house
of lords. The others seldom think of
exercising their legislative duties,
although upon occasion extremely jeal-
Gus of their privileges. Such is the in

It Is a Moody Victory.

Special to the Globe.
MILLER, S. D., Oct. 3.-The nomina-
ton by the Republicans of Col. Jolley
for congress leads to the belief that ex-
Senator Moody has gained a victory
over Congressman Picker. The latter
was very anxious that Black Hills
man be nominated by the Republicans
for the vacant place. with the hope that
he would be elected, which would give
the country westof the river representa-
ton, thus prolonging hist Pickler's) politi-
cal life, for he not only aspires to be re-
elected to congress next year, but wants
to go to the United States senate as soon
as he can. Ex-senator Moody knowing
this-for it was Picker who knitted
Moody last winter at Pierre-preferred
man east of the river for congress,
and his wishes seem to have been
granted.

DILL WILL NOT SUFFER-.
In Jail He Occupies a Parlor
With His Family.

CLEARFIELD, Pa, Oct. 3.-United
States District Attorney Lyon arrived
to-day and pronounced the proceedings
against President Dill entered by Bank
Examiner Miller illegal. A new in
formation for false entry was made and
Mr.. Dill held under $4,000 bail for a
hearing next Friday. There were
plenty of people ready to go his bail to-
day, but DIPS lawyers and friends adj
vised in favor of his remaining i'll jail
until the day of the hearing.
Public sentiment has changed greatly
since yesterday, many believing that
the prosecution has developed into
persecution, and that DIPS side of the
story should be heard before final judg-
ment is given by his former friends and
neighbors. The false entry has been
explained to several bankers, and they
say there is nothing criminal in it, as it
is done every day in the banks, and that
if that is all there is in the charges, he
will be released at the hearing. Mr..
Dill is confined in the parlor of the Jail
in the custody of Capt. Clark, and is en-
joying all the comforts and cOnveniences
possible. His wife and family are with
him all the time. All other proceedings
against Dill have been stopped and ev-
cry one will await the result of the
hearing,

have been advised from st. Petersburg

CHINA WILL GET CHONG.
Grandpa Ben Sees Clear on the
Exclusion Act.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The case of
Chong Sam, the Chinaman who entered
the United States from Canada, and who
was ordered deported to China, has been
finally disposed of. Sir Julian Paunce-
foe, the British minister, interested
himself in the case on the ground that
the man had domiciliary residence in
Canada, and should therefore be al
lowed to return to Canada, and in order
to accomplish that purpose he urged
that the president grant pardon to the
Chinaman
The president wrote the secretary of
state, under date of Sept. 30, as follows:
l have had under consideration the case of
Chong Sam, a Chinese subject who crossed
from the Dominion of Canada to the United
States and was arrested at Port Huron for
violation OF our exclusion act and in whose
behalf Sir Julian Pauncefote, her majestys
minister to this capital, has made some rep
reservations and the request that this man
should be returned to Canada.
You will please say to Sir Julian that If
this were single case it would give this
government great pleasure to show Its con-
slderation by complying with his request;
but there is involved in this case, in my opin-
ion, the whole question of the success
and enforcement of our exclusion acts. If
Cinnamon can land III Canada ana suffer no
other penalty for crossing our line than that
of being returned to Canada, from whence
they may again repeat their attempt to enter
our territory, our law becomes practically q
dead letter. l have, therefore, directed the
secretary of the treasury to send this man
back 10 China. 1t is probable that the ques-
ton of whether it is right under our law can
be decided by an application for writ Of
habeas corpus in behalf of this man.
The collector of customs at Port
Huron was to-day directed to request
the marshal to deliver the prisoner into
the custody of the collector of customs
at San Francisco, if habeas corpus pro-
ceedngs are not promptly instituted.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 3. - Judge
Coke, of the United States district
court, to-day decided that the four
Cinnamon recently arrested in violation

back to Canada as the country whence
they came and. not to China. This re-
verses the previous decision OF the
