Attempted Assassination.

At New York on the 9th William
Monser attempted to shoot the Rev.
Clark Wright at 17Sth Street and Sixth
Avenue. Mr.. Wright is the pastor of
the fremont Methodist Episcopal
Church. He resides at the place where
the attempt at murder occurred. Mon
ser has been calling on him lately, say
ing that some years ago he was con-
nected with Mr. Wright's church. He
told a story of poverty and wretched-
ness, and of family actually starving
for wanting of money. The minister
found the man was a fraud. When
MoDser called on the 9th, Mr.. Wright
refused to give him any money. The
fellow pulled out revolver and fired at
the minister. Subsequently the police
arrested him. He had apparently been
doing business of collecting money
from ministers, as he had the names
and address of 480 ministers Of this
city.

the right to except such bonds from this
call
1t is officially stated that the sugges-
ton as to the extension Of the a per
cent. loan added to the call made to-
day is made more as matter of preced-
ence than of necessity The Treasury
Department, it is said, is abundantly
abe to pay all Of the $5l 100000 - per
cents outstanding, but in view of the
uncertainty Of future receipts and ex-
penditure6 it IS deemed better to take
the side of safety. The Secretary
not only believes that he has ample
means to defray all the expenses of
the government, but is confident he will
be able to retire a considerable amount
of the public debt IL addition to the
$236,0O0,OOO already paid during the
present administration. One of the
purposes in suggesting an opportunity
to extend the maturing loan at nom
inal rate Of interest is the desire to
avoid the enforced retirement of part
or all of the $4,000, 900 National Bank
circulation now secured by 4 per cent

would view them closely; some people
would look for the artists name, which

of reaching a settlement of the strike
difficulties.

clared that the directors were ready to
discuss the matter of grievances with

the public and the men being an exceed
ingly difficult one.

compel the companies to surrender. He

the strikers to encourage them to hold
out until victory was attained Resolu-
tions were adopted, asking the compan-
les to accede to the demands of the men.
The meeting was a very large one and
good order prevailed.
