were talking it over at Wizards, a nong
whom was Col. w. f. Morrison, who had
this to say in answer to reportorial in
quiries:
Tho declaration for Cleveland by
tho Indiana Democrats indicates the
sentiment and preference not only in
that State, but in Illinois and all tho
Northwest. I suggested some months
ago. in view OF the possible conditions
which might exist at tho time of tho
national convention, that Illinois should
not instruct but send a delegation free
TO act for tho best interests of the
party. But instructions have boon
secured for Senator Palmer in number
OF counties whiio other counties nave
instructed for Mr.. Cleveland Still
there is no MISLEADING the sentiment of
the Democratic masses being for Cleve-
land, and If anybody gets instructions,
they should be for him. The Illinois
State convention will declare for Glove
land, if it gives the true es pressions to
tho preference OF the State Democracy.

Rid of So Much Money.

BERLIN, April eat has been learned
that the money stolen by Jaeger, tho
defaulting chief cashier of the Roths.
childs at Frankfort, amounts to roc. 600
marks. He had used the greater part of
the proceeds of his robberies in specu-
lating in fruit in Berlin and Odessa and
also in specializing in corn The spccu-
latlons turned out unrcmunerative. and
when no thought there was chance of
his populations being discovered he fl I'D.
Jaeger's salary was only 5000 marks

small sum To pay man holding the DO
Mtion he did in the great banking house.

travagantly, but to support his family
and 1.-Two within his salary, which in
American money was equal to 81, $50 4
year, he was required to practise many
economics.
Jaegcr's frauds have extended over a
series of years. He falsifed bis &C
counts, and as no regular examination
of his books was over made he escaped
detection. Ho not only robbed the
Rothschilds, but he also appropriated to
MS own use tho money of two widows
that had boon intrusted to him.
1t is reported to-day that u letter writ
ten by Jaeger at Darmst3dt has boon
received by the manager of tho house.
In this letter it is said that Jaeger ad-
mits the frauds and announces his in
tention to commit suicide. The police
are endcavoring to trace tho cmbcZZler
through this letter.
