TWO CHICAGO BOYS.

They Run Away From Home and Are
Shanghaied and Taken to London.
The story told by Arthur Talbot and
BERTHE Davis Of Chicago is remarkable. Tai
bot who is II years old, AMI Davis, aged Is,
arrived in London Saturday on the cattle
steamer Uskar in a destitute condition,
says London cable to the Chicago Herald.
They say they were ''shanghaied" aboard
the vessel and subjected to cruel treatment
on the voyage. Talbot ran away from
Memphis, where his father was attending
the races, being an owner of horses. The
boy went TO Buffalo, where he met Davis,
who had run away from home to join him.
The boys had good lime there for few
days, and, not having money enough TO pay
their board bills, they left their baggage dt
the hotel and managed TO beat their way TO
New York There they passed the first
night sleeping ON dock.
In the morning they were acc0Sted by
shipping agent, whose name is given as
Patrick Bergen If Brooklyn, who promised
TO give them s. each and return ticket IL
they would ship on the Uskar. The boys
were undecided but were intimidated, and
before they were fully aware of what was
happening found themselves in the building
at 64 Greenwich street, where they We're
kept confined until midnight. Then they
were taken by the man who had them in
charge to Philadelphia and forced to go
aboard the Uskar. They were neatly fam
ished by this time and had hardly strength
to walk. much less to offer any reslstance.
They had had only one meal in fOrty-eght
hours.
The passage to England occupied sixteen
days and the boys suffered terribly from sea-
sickness and lack If proper food. Despite
their illness they were compelled to work,
and were treated very harshly. On arrival
at their destination they were turned away
penn,less and refused even the privilege Of
working their way back on the vessel They
are now wandering about the streets Of
London, obliged to beg their food aud with
out pldce of shelter. They have been ad-
vised to apply to the American CoHsul for
assistance. The BOYS say that they both
lived on the West Side, Chicago. but the ex-
act addresses are not learned. They appear
to be weIl-behaved lads, but look like
tramps, their clothes being ruined by the
filth of the ship.

named Jack Smith and William FurlOng,
the latter bar-keeper for Robert Allen,
who was robbed and nearly murdered two
weeks ago, are still in Jail, not being able to
give the $4,000 bail required by Police
Judge Cravens. The police made up their
minds soon after the crime was committed
that somebody must have given the foot
pads the information that Allen was in the
habit of carrying large sums of money with
him. Aliens bar-keeper. Furl0ng, was
once bar-keeper for Smith, whose dive
in a rendezvous for thieves and the police
had him watched. They found he went to
Smiths place nearly every night after clos
ing. Last night Casey, one of The men un-
der arrest, confessed to the police that il
was Smith who gave the tip to the men who
were to do the work, so Smith and Furlong
were arrested. The only man now at large
connected with the crime is Haley, and the
police are hopeful of his capture. The
thugs had been cautioned not TO hurt Fur

Close Vote on the Subject of Free Coinage
of Silver.

of Silver
DENVER, May 24.-The Trans Mississippi
Congress voted for the coinage of American
silver ard then adjourned to meet at Omaha
next October. The extreme Western dele
gates carried the convention by storm, and
the agricultural States had only feeble
hearing, hence the result. The result Of the
Omaha meeting remains problemRtical. The
motion will be adopted. Tie resolutions are
to be submi ted TO the National Congress
and with the possibility Of more complete
representation from the delegation who
were this week in Cincinnati The silver
resolutions may be amended to provide for
the coinage Of American silver only. The
closeness of the vote before adjournment
demonstrates that the silver men haVe over
estimated their strength, although Iowa,
Louisiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Arkan-
sas were notin the convention. The vote was
80 TO 5S in favor of unlimited free COINAGE
