Tn1E1eR R STREsasd
- Led firm of
4 Co., was in
dicted ~. s The Jury of New York
county on Tuesday for the larceny of
$50, 600 in bonds from the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. Just after being re-
leased on $25, 900 bail on that charge he
was arrested for stealing over 100000
worth Of securities from R. f. Dietz. and
locked up in Ludlow street Jail. On
these two charges Mr. Field is held ac-
countabie for over $150,000 worth of
bonds and stocks. They were given to
him ia the transaction of legitimate busi-
ness by persons who had faith in his
honor and in the honor of the firm of
Field, Lindlev, Wiechers & Co
1t was Mr.. Fields duty to keep those
bonds and securities safe, to know where
they were, and to be ready to give them
back to their owners when those owners
should be ready to repay the loans for
which they were security. Mr. Field,
however, did not keep these bonds and
stocks. and therefore the indictment Of
larceny has been found against him.
Mr.. Fields financial transactions seem
10 have outranked even those of Ferdi-
nand Ward and Napoleon of Finance Ives.
Within the last year he has had intrusted
to him over g., 2,OOO,O 900 in money. bonds,
and stocks. that the owners thereof have
had no profit from, and now they DO not
know where the money, stock, and bonds
are. In other words these people have
been apparently robbed Of over $4,000
900, and where it has all been placed they
do not know.
Partner Wiechers says he and his fam
ily alone have been victimized out of
81 ,2S7, 600. Implicit confidence was
placed in young Field by all the partners
Of the firm.
II is not believed by those who have
conversed recently with him that he is
insane. Inspector Byrnes is quoted as
saying that he talks in a ratiou-.l, and,
what is more. extremely guarded man.

limited States Senator Preston b.
Plumb, of Kansas, died suddenly at noon
On Sunday last He returned from Phlla-
delphia the previous night, where he had
been in consultation with DIR. Pepper ~
regard to his physical condition. ano,
though suffering from violent heac-
ache, attended a reception at Chamber
lain's given by ex Senator Malone Going
home at o'clock in the morning, he COM
plained to his landlord of his illness, and
retired At 2 o'clock he, called for help
and DIR. Wales MAS summoned. The doc
tor left his patient sleeping quietly at
6. 80, Lut soon after his departure :he
Senator sprang from his bed and began
to vOmit. The vomiting ceased FOR
moment. then the Senator tossed his
hands to his head and exclaimed, oh,
my God, my head, my head! These
were the last words he ever uttered. His
head was stroked to relieve the pain, and
few minutes later he relapsed into
slumber, and then into INCONSISTENCIES.
Shortly before noon the Senator died.
Universal sorrow is felt over the death
Of the statesman. A most rugged per-
sonality he was. With but a common
school education and a knowledge of the
printers case, he left his birthplace, Del
aware county, Ohio, for Kansas in 1856,
being then 20yeaTs of age, Plunging into
the political battle raging there, he be-
came a member of the Leavenworth Con-
stitutiOnal Convention, studied law. went
TO the State legislature, became IFS
speaker, was the supreme court reporter,
enlisted in the army, rose to lieutenant
colonelcv, and in 1876 was elected United
States Senator by the Republicans, TO
succeed James H. Harvey. He has rep
resented Kansas in the Senate since then,
and his present term would have expired
in 1895.
Plumb Nas vigorous man, could mas
ter details, was oUtspoken in his views,
was picturesque speaker, fond of social
pleasures, and always ready to go into a
fight if he believed he had a good cause.
PERHAPS KILLED IN THE EMBALMING.
A sensational feature is added to the
death of Senator Plumb by the receipt of
a telegram from his wife, who was at
Emporia, Kan, directing that the body
he not embslmed. The telegram came
Just as the undertaken had finished that
work, and was of course too late. Soon
after came a second telegram explaining
that last summer the Senator had been
IN a state Of suspended animation for two
or three hours, and that Mrs. Plumb de-
sired absolute certainty of death before
carrying forward the embalming process.
Regret at the haste in embalming was
unavalling, however. 1t had been done.
The undertaken and several physicians.
however, assert positively that death had
occurred before the undertaken began
the discharge of his functions.
The funeral of Senator Plumb was held
in the Senate chamber at 2 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, and the body taken over
the Pennsylvania Railroad to Emporia,
Kan. for burial.

DptClsJ 10 the GECORD-UNION.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I3.-The Post to-
day publishes an article to the effect that
Ivan Petroff, special agent of the State
department, and formerly in the Census
Bureau, was detected in the act of fur
nishing false information to this Govern
ment in relation to the seal industry of
Alaska, which is embodied in the pre-
paration of the Behring Sea case for arbi-
tratlon. Continuing, the article says:
when the State Department began pre-
pairing the Behring Sea case the investiga-
ton disclosed the name of Ivan Petroff
more frequently than any other author
upon the literature on the resources of
Alaska. Upon inquiry for him being in
stituted, lie was found to be special
agent in the Census Bureau. 1t was also
learned that he had taken the census in
1880 and 1890, and written monograph
issued by the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department on Alaska In adj
dltlon he also assisted Bancroft in the
preparation of letters of the history of
Paraguay.
Petrotf was summoned from the Census
Bureau to the State Department, and en-
trusted with the examination into and
eLlO OOIl lplidIlOIl OI certain 1actS relating
to the sealing industry. Some time after
his work was submitted to the depart
ment one of the Governments special at
torneys, while examining the data, dis
covered the error. Closer investigation
showed that nearly the entire informa-
tlon furnished by Petroff was falsifed,
and in manner which left no doubt of
the wlllful intent to deceive. The infor-
nation was already Incorporated in the
United States case as sent to London, and
formed part of the arch upon which the
Government claim rested, although it was
not the keystone by any means. The
British Government was at once notified
that the United States had been led into
errors OF the statement, and was informed
that correction would be made when
the counter-case, as the supplementary
papers were termed, was submitted.
The discovery created considerable eX-
element in official circles. The question
has naturally arisen, If Petrotf's work is
talsltied in one instance, are not his CEN
sus figures also unreliable? This is an
inquiry that can only be answered after
tedious and perhaps expensive investiga-
ton. Curiously enough there is no law
upon the statute books touching the case.
and PetrOff will simply lose his Govern
ment position.
He is a Russian by birth and 60 years
old. He lived forty years in Alaska.
The officials of the State Department and
Interior, when shown the article this
evening, affirmed it's correctness, but de-
cllned to say anything further.

KREMLIN MAKES A NEW RECORD.
SHOCKED TO DEATH.
An Electric Light EmpIoye Killed a
stockton.

An Electric Light Employe Killed at
stockton.
STOCKTON, Nov. 13.-Charles Bartold.
an employe at the electric light works,
was instantly killed last night by a shock
received while working at an arc light.
He had attended the big celebration, and
was on his way home with his wife and
two children. While passing the electric
works he noticed that light across the
street needed attention. Leaving his
family at the power-house he went to the
pole, and without the usual precaution to
stand on non-conductor he attached
the crank while standing on the earth,
and instantly fell doubled up and almost
dead.
Two passers-by saw him fall and went
to his assistance. Life was almost ex-
tlnct, and he died after taking only few
breaths. The remains were carried over
to the power-house, where his wife and
children were waiting. When the BODY
was examined at the mans house no
mark was found on it, nor was there anv
sign of burning. Some of the electricians
at the works thought Bartold was not
killed by electricity, because no burns
were seen. 1t was Bartold's practice to
stand on wood when working at lamp,
and tonight he neglected to take this
precaution. 1t is said that he has done
the same thing many times without in
jury, but the orders of the company are
that employees must stand on wooden
platform. The deceased was about 25
years of age, and came from Fort WAYNE.
Indiana, several years ago.

The Nautilus had taken one whale and

SAMOAN TROUBLES.
Steps Taken to Protect the Interests

Steps Taken to Protect the Interests
of the United States.
New YORK, Nov. l3.-The authorities
at Washington evidently fear that serious
trouble may soon arise in Samoa, and
have decided to take steps to protect the
interests of the United States in that
country by the presence of the Ameri-
can warship Alliance, which has been
ordered to sail from Honolulu. A letter
has been received here from resident of
Apia which, says the Washington corre-
spondent of the Herald, confirms the
news already received by the authorities
at Washington about the threatening as
pect in Samoa. Both political and bust
ness affairs are reported as being in bad
way. The natives have been dissatisfied
with the workings of the Berlin treaty
for more than two years, says the writer
and a majority of the white residents
share this dissatisfaction. The American
and English residents object equally
with the natives to the administration of
Chief Justice Cederkranz and Baron Won
Pilsach, who. it is charged, discriminate
strongly in favor of the German residents
and seek Indirectly to drive out American
and English enterprises.
The ill-feeling between the two native
factions has been growing for two years,
point of resulting in another civil war.
The factions are represented by Malietoa
Laupepa, the present King and his High
Chief, Mataafa. who officiated as Malietoa,
or King, during the time that Laupepa
was deported and kept prisoner by the
Germans. When Laupepa was restored
to his kingdom Mataafa and his follow
ers, believing they had been duped and
not receiving the just reward for shed
ding blood and doing all the hard fight
ing against the native rebel Chief Tam
asese, with his allies, the Germans, have
retired to distant part of the island of
Upola and there have fortified themselves
and have since remained. Mataafa and
his forces refused to visit Laupepa and
render allegiance to him. On several
occasions recently Mataafa's soldiers
were on the point of going to war with
the Kings forces, but were wisely re-
strained by Mataafa, who is termed by
the American residents the George
Washington of Samoa" The only war
ship in Samoan waters on October 25th
was the German steamer Buzzard.

Bloody Termination of Wedding

CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-A horrible muir
der was committed at the residence of
Mrs. Mary Murphy, at 1l8 Swiss street,
this afternoon while wedding celebra-
ton was in progress. Mr.. Murphy's
daughter was married yesterday, and a
reception was given at the mothers
house this afternoon. 2. f. Murphy,
Annie's brother, who is a drunkard and
OF surly disposition, locked himself in
a room and refused to mingle with the
guests. When supper was ready another
brother, w. j. Murphy, went to his
room. Frank refused to open the door,
and William climbed through the win
dow. What occurred is not known, but
in few minutes Frank came out of the
room with his hands and clothing covered
with blood and laid bloody razor on a
table. He went directly TO the police
station and gave himself up. Upon in
vestigation it was found that William
was dead. His head was nearly severed
from his body. Frank said he killed his
brother in self-delense. The murdered
man was freight conductor on the Lake
Shore, and leaves widow and two chill

convention movement. and the announce
ment that Cleveland would attend the
banquet caused intense satisfaction among
the men who went to Syracuse. They
took it as a sure indication that Cleveland
does not propose TO snub the anti-snappers
in the slightest degree. Since the election
Cleveland has not indicated any intention
of showing favor to any particular per-
son or organization, aside from the fact
that Tamaany Hall will not have the
slightest reason to complain of treatment
in the matter of Federal patronage.
The dinner of the Reform Club will be

LONDON, Nov. l3.-Traialgar Square to-
day, the anniversary of Bloody Sunday,
was the scene of great popular demon-
stratlon in celebration Of the restoration
by the Liberal Government of the right
to hold public meetings in the square,
and to give notice to the demands of the
unemployed poor: that the Government
and local board start all needs of public
improvements so as to assist in relieving
the existing destitution.
Although the morning opened au-
spiciousIy, in the afternoon the weather
was less favorable Nothing daunted,
however, legions Of unemployed social
lists and other sympathizers marched in
bodies to the square. A band stationed
there greeted the arriving professions,
the first three of which were bodies of
social Democrats. They carried red BAN
ners and were led by number of girls,
waving red flags. They took up their po-
sition at the base of the Nelson monu-
ment, about three sides of which plat
forms were constructed. Three other
platforms were constructed in front OF
the National Gallery. All the professions
were amply provided with banners and
bands, the Marseillaise and other revolu-
tionary airs being played.
The windows and roofs of buildings
overlooking the square were crowded
with spectators. There was a noticeable
absence of police within the square, but
hundreds were on foot, and numerous
mounted men stationed at convenient
spots out of sight. The Ambulance Corps
with stretchers and paraphernaIia were
on hand. Scotland y ard was also reaGy
for an emergency.
The square was filled with vast con-
course of people by half-past 3. The
crowd was eminently an orderly one, and
ordinary traffic was little impeded The
majority of the processionists were we'll
dressed workmen. They appeared almost
lost in the great crowd OF spectators drawn
by curiosity.
Among the forty speakers who ad-
dressed the assemblage were John Burns,
c. A. Cony beare, NJ. T., James Kerr
Hard, NJ. p, Ben Tillet and others.
Owing to the noise only those near the
speakers could hear them. Burns, who
moved a resolution anent the uuem-
ployed, made a moderate speech. He adj
vocated eight hours day and the estab-
lishment of labor bureaus. Conybeare
urged his hearers to compel the Govern
ment TO give the people full control of
the police. He deprecated the talk about
the use of dynamite to secure to the peo-
pie a restoration of their rights
Other speakers followed, and at Ais
resolutions were put simultaneously from
all the platforms and declared carried,
though the hubbub prevented the words
Of the resolutions being heard. The
square was then quickly cleared and the
processiOnists took up the march to their
reepactiVe districts.
