Secretary Foster Will Bluff Out
His Assertion.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-At the re-
quest of certain friends in Boston Sec
rotary Foster wrote letter on finance
i'll which he stated that the treasury
notes were redeemable in gold. Demo
Gratis in Boston presented $4,000
treasury note at the subtreasury and
demanded gold for it. 1t was refused
by the assistant treasurer. Democratic
newspapers published the fact of the
refusal side by side with Secretary Fos
ter's published utterances. Secretary
Foster, after sending dispatch this
morning, sent the following telegram:
Washing ton, Oct. 14-Hon. c. Lodge, Bos-
ton, Mass: Treasury notes will be redeemed
at any subtreasury of the United States in
gold coin. The refusal at Boston was an err
ror on the part of the assistant treasurer, 1t
being probably the first time in Boston where
redemption in gold was asked. There is no
authority of existing law 10 redeem any
paper money in gold or silver bullion, butt the
government purchased nearly a million
ounces of silver to-day with the treasury
notes at about o. cents an ounce, and any
owner of treasury notes can do the same.
The director Of the mint tenders his kind Of
fees unofficially to the chairman CT the Dem
ocratic committee in Boston. with an offer to
purchase for him 1000 ounces of silver bull
Ion, to be paid for in treasury notes.

FORTY-THREE LOST.
Tramp Cattle Steamer Goes to
Pieces on the Banks.


Pieces on the Banks.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., Oct. 13.-The City
of Rome, tramp cattle steamship, was
wrecked Monday night at Marine cove,
st. Mary's bay, four miles from Cape
Pine, and eighty-five miles in
direct line southwest of st. Johns.
The nearest point of Importance is
Trepassy, which is at the head of
the bay running in between Capes Race
and Pine, and about twenty miles from
where the City of Rome is said to be
lost. The place indicated has been the
scene OF many ShipWrecks. All hands
were lost when the vessel went to pieces
except one man, John Brennan, belong
ing to Sligo, Ireland, who arrived at
TrepasSy this morning from Peters
River. He says he is the only survivor
of crew of forty-three men on the
City of Rome, which became a total
wreck Monday night at Marine Cove, st.
Mary's bay. He says that the captain,
crew ard officers were all drunk and I'M
able to save themselves. He was thrown
upon the cliff and was rescued Tuesday
morning. The City of Rome had on
board 575 head of cattle, a quantity of
flour in sacks and Indian corn. The
man tells most pitiful tale about the
struggle the crew had among the bull
locks trying to save themselves. The
steamer was commanded by Capt. Nelly,
and left Montreal Oct. Z bound for
Dundee.
MONTREAL. Oct. 1.-THE vessel
wrecked off the banks is cattle steamer
sailing from this port. Forty-two per-
sons were drowned,
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-When the dis
patches from St. John gave the meager
statement that the City of Rome had
foundered, it was Immediately believed
that the ocean racer which left here
Saturday last had been caught in
unusually strong hurricanes, and
had either run ashore or gone down
with passengers and crew. The excite
ment was intense throughout this city
and Brooklyn. Those who entertained
fears as to her safety were greatly re-
lieved about an hour later when pri-
vate dispatch from st. Johns stated def
nitely that it was not the well-known
City of Rome, but a tramp steamer of
the same name. A private cable from
ST. Johns put the matter at rest so far as
the Anchor liner was concerned. The
cable stated that the vessel ashore on
St. ChottS was a cattle steamer from
Montreal. 1t was tramp steamship
having no register at Lloyd's, but was
named the City of Rome.

SCORES PERISH AT SEA.
The Atlantic Coast the Scene of
Great Havoc.

Great Havoc.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Waves nearly
thirty feet high are lashing Rockaway
beach, blowing far into the sand and
washing dwellings and boats out to
sea. Many pleasure craft have been
missing since Sunday, and it is feared
that they have been lost with all on
board. Sunday afternoon George White,
Alfred Kane. Mark Thursbu and Alden
Little, of New York, hired two stout
boats, and went equipped for shark
fishing. Shortly after they put out a
northeastern began blowing. With the
aid of a glass, boatmen could see the
small boats being rapidly blown out to
sea. 1t was only short time when the
waves on the bay rose to eight and
ten feet in height. Then darkness fell
aud no more could be seen. 1t was out
of the question to launch boat in such
sea. Monday morning the sea was
angrier still. Higher and higher the
waves rose and the rainfall increased
The bay was mass of wreckage. Boats
could be seen on the crestS of the waves,
but no living being was visible. I'm
mindful of the rain, the inhabitants of
the beach lined the shores as near the
waters edge as was safe and strained
their eyes for results of the awful
storm. The wind increased in velocity
until it drove all within the shelter of
their own houses. Sheds were blown
over aud carried within reach of the
waves and broken to pieces.
Il At $3.50 in the afternoon, Mike Ketch-
UNI, Il colored man, saw a small boat
dashing against the beach and went for
it. The wind was blowing at 52-knot
almost
his feet. Reaching the shore
after hard fight with the ele-
ments, he found it was one of the
two boats let out Sunday to the four
young men from New York. In it he
found a hat, broken oar, a gun, and
attached to line fastened to the boat
was young shark, about four feet
long. OF the other boat nothing has
been seen.
AT $50 Sunday afternoon Jams Moore,
accompanied by crew of three, left
the old mill at Canarsie. aboard of
two-masted schooner, bound for Balti-
more. Coming out of North channel
the storm struck her. The waves
washed over the deck and flooded the
hold. The three young men with him
were swept off the deck while trying to
take in the sail. i he old man clung to
a mast and was saved. Sunday after
noon, Charles p. Frey let out a cat boat
and six small boats at Hollands station,
up the beach. The cat boat carried
fishing party of five men and the small
boats eleven men. They went up the
bay towards the inlet. Nothing has
been seen of them since. 1t is thought
the storm carried them out to sea, as
they were too far down to be washed up
on the meadow lands.

MRS. ORDWAY's YARN.
Interested Parties in Chicago
Take No Stock in 1t.


CHICAGO, Oct. IA. j. Stone. SON.
in-law of the murdered millionaire, A.
j. Smell, has this to say in regard to the
story from Baltimore of Mrs. Ordway to
the effect that her late husband was
concerned in the murder, and that w.
b. Tascott, the supposed murderer, was
strangled to death by his pals:
''ThiS is the first time that the name
of al Ordway has been mentioned in
connection with the case. l knew him
quite well, and was surprised when
learned of his death. l used to have
my clothes made at his fathers shop
on Madison street, and the worst thing
] ever heard of him was that he was
addicted to drink. Perhaps if l knew
something of the woman's character and
reputation for veracity | might consider
the matter. But as the story now stands,
unSubStantiated, | would say it is false
and without Foundations
Ira j. Ordway, father of Albert K,
furnishes the following for publication:
1.-The statement of a Mrs. A. K. Ord
way, who was taken to the Bayview
asylum yesterday, is my first intima-
ton that my son, Albert K. Ordway,
who died in Baltimore last March, had
any connection with the Smell murder.
The statement has no weight with me.
nor will it be credited by those who are
in position to know the facts, whether
the woman who makes them be sane or
insane"
This the first association of the name
of young Ordway with the murder and
the story is generally discredited. Ord
way was associated with his father in
the tailoring business in this city at one
time and the firm made Tascott's
clothes, but it does not appear that Ord
way ever had other than business rela-
lions with the supposed murderer. The
woman who tells the story was a Mrs.
Beachman and was married to young
Ordway, after the latter was divorced
from his wife. His death in Baltimore
in March last is supposed to have been
a case of suicide.

The Ex-Minister to Hayti in No

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. = Frederick
Douglass delivered lecture on Hayti
last night and replied with feeling to
the cciticisms of his policy in the Mole
st. Nicholas affair. He made the
suggestive announcement that if
he had done any man an justice
in his story of the matter he stood
ready to retract, but if driven to the
wall, he said, he had it in his power to
put before the whole world all the cor
respondence about the affair in differ
ent light, and light some gentlemen
would not like to see. He described
the Mole as the Gibraltar of the Carib-
bean sea, and said that the nation that
could hold this stronghold would be
mistress of the sea. Tremendous
cheers followed the announcement by
Mr.. Douglass that he was for Harrison
for the next term.

bility of abolishing the entire depart
ment of publicity and promotion of

nificance of this move is explained on
the basis that Maj. Handy draws $500
a year from the directory and has a
large staff of assistants. President
Baker, Director Walker and others
seemingly have an idea that the worlds
lair does not need a press department
any longer. and that the department
chiefs can furnish all needful informa-

Sunday night about IL o'clock bands of
outlaws made raid on the little city of
Alexandria, KY. The attack was made
with sticks, stones, sling shots and re-
