Joseph Perrien Returns Safe.

DETROIT, March 20-Joseph Perrien. the
wealthy miller who was kidnapped in so
mysterious manner last night, returned
sound, but somewhat unnerved by his ex-
perience. He says upon entering the coupe
last night his suspicious were not aroused
until he noticed the vehicle turn in an oppo-
site direction to his friends house. He threw
open door and attempted to jump out.
he was met by two masked men who held
reviewers TO his head and forced him back
into the cab, they following. They then
pound, gagged and Dlindfotded him, the
Gao Keeping on, and Perrien was
unable to keep any idea of locality
IL his mind. Finally he was removed to
room where his captors released him from
his bonds, and covering him with revolv-
ers, forced him to write the check, promls-
sorry note ana letters. The latter was die
tated from type written copies in the hands
OF MS captors, who remained masked and
disguised. Perrien was not further dis
turoed till late this afternoon, when his
captors informed him their game was
up, out that that "they would get him
next time" He was then rebound, gagged
and blinded and conducted from the room.
Inelr course seemed TO lay over plowed
held, after which they entered a cab, ana
another long. roundabout drive was
commenced. AT last Perrien was loosed
and thrust out from the CAB in a dazed con-
oltlon, and before he recovered himself the
CAB had disappeared He finally located
himself as being at the corner of Myrtle
street and Thirteenth street. He boarded
a Myrtle street car and was shortly home.
Valuables he had with him were not
touched. He was furnished with good food
and treated with consideration during his
captivity. His story is accepted as relia-
ole and the police are making every effort
to locate the perpetrators of the outrage.

Michael Dayitt sneers at parne,l

LONDON, March 20.-Michael Davitt. in
an interview with an Associated Press
correspondent to day, contemptuously re-
ferred to what he called Parnell's bluff.
Davitt said he did not intend to be a candi-
date for election in the division of Cork
city, which Parnel now represents. Day-
lit added that two reasons caused him to
make this decision. 1.-THE first,n said he
rs Parnell will not resign, for he knows if
he does resign, he will be beaten, should he
come forward forre-eiection." The second
Is: Il am not anxious to enter parliament
now or in future, though 1 am unwilling to
bind myself TO remain in this frame of MIND
for all time. The Parnellites arranged q
meeting at Cork for St. Patrlck,s dav
when, according to custom, all societies
marched through the streets. Parneil see
ing the great stir, was induced to issue his
challenge to Healy. He is now anxious to
back out.n
Referring to Parnelps delegation to the
United States, Davitt said: The gentle
men composing Parnell's deputation TO the
United States, estimate 30 per cent. of the
Irish Americans are supporting Parnell.
This Is great exaggeration. The num-
bers should be nearer per cent Ry far
the greater number of Irishmen in England
are against Parnell
My advice to the workingmen is to alb
tain from strikes for three years, to organ
ize, and to increase their funds. Then they
will be in good position to place their de-
mands before the employers
Parnell left Dublin tonight for Sligo,
wnere his candidate, Dillon, is facing in
creasing odds The Parnellites' hope that
section of the clergy would refrain from
interference has been blasted, as the whole
of the clergy of the district are becoming
active agents in the election. Parnell has
promised to explain his position regarding
Healy's challenge Sunday, but the Nation,
dlist expects he will not decide whether to
accept 1t or not, until he has seen the issue
OF the Sligo struggle. The Parnellites are
intensely excited over Gladstone's declara-
ton that home rule will be impossible with
Parnell as Irish leader, and renew the cry
of English dictation. On the other hand
the Nationalist rely upon the declaration
as enabling the Irish people definitely 10
recognize that adhesion to Parnell mean
the collapse of the constitutional move.

Gold Ordered for Enrnnn

New YORK, March 20.-Van Hoffman g.
Co. have ordered S250,000 gold bars at the
assay Office. No orders for gold coin wers
received at the sub treasury but rumors
are current that Heidelbach, Ickelheimef
& Co. will take 81 ,250,0O0 and that 81 ,0OO,-
600 will go out to morrow.
Heidelbach, Ickelbeimer g. Co. have
taken S525,0 600 in gold coin at the sub treas i.
ury for shipment to Berlin. This makes a
total of taken and requested of S1,375, 900.
Superintendent Mason, of the assay office,
will not telegraph the request for gold bars
to Washington until pm. This is in ac-
cordance with orders from the treasury de-
partment, and is believed to be for the pnr-
pose of impeding the shipment. An answer
is not expected until after banking hours,
and as the supplementary mails on the fast
steamers close to morrow, it will be diff
cult to take the bars and get them to the
steamer in the short time between begin
ming business and the hour for sailing to-
morrow.

4 BLANKET BOND
A Plan to Place the Union Pacific
and it's Connected Roads
UNDER A SINGLE MORTGAGE
Gould is Working on the Scheme-The De
tails are Not Perfected-DillOn
Admits 1t Is True.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examner Dispatch.l
New York, March 20.-Friday's Tribune
says it is able to announce plan that the
managers of the Union Pacific have under
consideration for the creation of blanket
mortgage to cover the entire system owned
and controlled by the company, similar to
the consolidated mortgage which the At
Gibson, Topeka 81 Santa Fe issued upon its
re- organization. Details are unavailable,
as many OF them are incomplete, while
others depend upon negotiations in pro-
gress. Jay Gould is giving his attention
largely to the work necessary to carry
through SO great financial operation, and
accountants are preparing exact schedules
OF bonded Indebtedness and other liabilities,
Wnlle the lawyers are examining into every
question OF law which might arise in execu-
ton of the scheme. The purpose of the
mortgage is to effect a consolidation Of all
the branch lines of the Union Pacific, pro-
vide for the floating debt and arrange
means for the settlement of the debt to the
government Necessarily, such compre-
nenslve scheme requires monts to perfect
1t, and 1t Will doubtless be long time be-
lore the officers of the Union Pacific VIII
be willing to furnish information as to
particular points; in fact many of the de-
talls must De SUBJECT OF long discussion,
and the details of to-day may be over
thrown tomorrow, by the discovery of new
conditions.
The question of a settlement with the
government on the direct obligations of
the Union Pacific company is one which
must remain in the balance until negotia-
lions can be reopened with Congress. But
while that feature of Mr. Gould's plan
must be from the necessities of the case
the last to be perfected, provisions for
prior liens and the amalgamation of debts
OF the leased lines may be arranged and
carried out at an earlier date. 1t is not
yet decided whether or 5 per cent. shall
be the new rate of the new consolidated
mortgage bonds. Final decision will de
pend largely upon the condition of the
money market during the negotiations that
must precede the exchange of underlying
investments.
Mr.. Gould's skill in financering is so
well known that no doubt is entertained
by his friends that the operation be has in
hand will succeed 1t is impossible to
figure, however, upon possible saving of
interest rates that might be effected by the
successful execution of this project, as it
Is yet in somewhat inchoate state. The
Importance of the work that Mr.. Gould
and his colleagues have taken up in
its bearing upon Wall street affairs is OBJ

Exnnsinp the shah

LONDON, March 2o.-Malcolm Kahns, ex-
Persian ambassador here, who was re-
Gently deprived by the Shah of his titles
and honors, has written a letter to the
Times, in which he refers to the despot-
ism of Persia. and says it is fact
that the highest ministers of Persia, while
believing they possessed the confidence of
their sovereign often persisted suddenly.
He further declaressthat when he pub
fishes the correspondence which has taken
place between himself and the Shah and

fault has been that he tried, perhaps, too
courageously, to modify the peculiar regime
which has too often darkened the history of

ties to drive large number of Cinnamon out
OF their novels which Were erected on ground
required for building a market hall. The
stampede disclosed the fact that six Chinese
lepers in the worst stage Of the disease had
been dwelling with their countrymen in the
vacated novels. Two of them were subse-

hiding and their friends refuse to disclose
their place of refuge. Upon hearing the
facts Deputy Minister of Agriculture
Lowe ordered an investigation by the local
medical officers and medical expert will
be dispatched to the Pacific coast to follow
the matter up. The worst feature of the
case is that the Cinnamon who have been

these the finest show elegant marble archi-

permanent director OF the American school,
distinctly disclaims identification of this

Much gold has been found in the tombs. in
Guiding six diadems, an immense wreath of
wrought gold, seal ring, and earrings.
Nothing finer in the way of ancient jewelry
has ever been discovered. The walls ex-

city Eretria mentioned by Homer was stu

of the island of EubQa. The modern

THE MONTANA UNION RAILWAY
Miller, the Boy Murderer-His Case to be
Heard in 0ctober-Tbe Musicians
Convention

BUTTE, Mont, March 20-CSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. AT noon to-day
all the mines belonging to the Anaconda
company, the greatest copper producer in
the world, shut down. This was caused by
the disagreement with the Montana Union
railway, which hauls ore from Butte to the
shelters in Anaconda. The railway wanted
to advance rates about one-third, and the
company refused to stand the raise. The
shelters viii follow the example of the
mines as soon as the ore on hand is treated.
The shutdown will throw about three
thousand men out of work. The matter
will be referred to Haggin, of the company,
and the head men of the railway in New
York, and it is hoped that an agreement
will be reached within the next week.

The keystone National Bank Closed

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.-Shortly after
the Keystone National bank opened this
morning, the iron doors were lowered and
the following notice placed on them:
This bank is closed by order of the
comptroller of the currency.
(Slgned) n. P. DREW,
National Bank Examiner
The closing of the bank was surprise to
most depositors. During the financial
stringency the latter part of last year there
were rumors affecting the banks solvency
and heavy run, but the institution tided
over and was thought to be in good financial
condition. The largest depositor was the
city OF Philadelphia, which has there about
$500, 900. The authorized capitals 500, COO;
the surplus 100000, it is claimed
No statement of the banks liabilities and
assets is obtainable 1t is said that the
bank was closed by the comptroller by rea-
son of its reserve fund having fallen below
the amount required by the national bank
ing law. the bank has deposits amounting
to 81, 400, 600 and it is claimed it has assets
sufficient TO meet this amount. 1t is said
the bank owes the clearing house associa-
ton about $4,000, which is part of the
money advanced by the association to as
slst the bank when run was made on it in
DSCSmD6r laSU.
All information regarding the closing of
the bank is withheld by the bank officials
beyond that contained in letter signed by
the president, which said there would be a
repayment to the clearing house of very
large amount of loan certificates; this kept
the legal reserve of cash below the average

Legal Question About Smuggling Cinnamon

UTICA, N. Y, March 2O.-In the trial of
James a. Miller, alias James Muldoon, for
smuggling Cinnamon into this country.
now in progress before United States Dis
trict Judge Coke, in this city, Attorney
Deangely, who was assigned to defend the
prisoner, raised an interesting point TO-
day. The Cinnamon came to this coun
try by row boat across Niagara river.
The statute provides that it is a INSIDE
meanor to aid or abet Chinese person to
enter the United States by land, or to aid
or abet any such to land from a vessel.
Deangely argued, and the government ad-
mitted, that row boat was not vessel
within the meaning of the statute.
Dangely argued that coming by row boat
could not be construed to mean coming bv
land. The effect of this construction of
the statute would enable Cinnamon to come
to this country by row boats. The court
held for the present he would hold the stat
ute broad enough to cover their coming TO
this country by whatever means; but
promised to give the question further con
sideration, and change mis- ruling if wrong.
