A CURIOUS AND GRATIFYING CAM
PAlGN OPENING.

It Is to BE a Campaign of Thought-The
Voters Studying the Situation-Tariff
Reciprocity and Good Currency versus
Free Trade and Wildcat Bank Notes.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-To the unpreju-
diced observer the political campaign is
q curious one. The absence of flags and
banners and brass bands on the one
hand, and careful, intelligent study of
the issues of the campaign on the other,
signalize this as an unusual political
contest. A prominent western politician
recently here, who has been in a good
many states east and west in the past
fortnight, said in talking of this sub
ject: "This is campaign of thought. It
reminds me of the campaign of 1854,
when the people became alive to the
situation and discarded appeals to par
tisanship for intelligent action upon the
living issues"

Premature Burial and Rescue of Tay-
lor HargraveS.
Just before o'clock yesterday sfter-
noon Taylor Hargraves, workman en-
gagged in digging a deep trench prepara-
tory to laying the drain from the new
Government building, was prematurely
buried.
Hargraves was at work about twenty
feet below the surface, in the deepest part
of the trench, when the bank of sand
above him caved in, completely burying
him from sight.
Other workmen near went quickly to
his assistance, and after removing a por-
ton of the sand, with rope and lever
succeeded in getting Hargraves out.
As it happened he kept his feet, other
wise it would have been almost impossi-
bic to rescue him alive.
When helped to the surface he was
found to be uninjured, although he was
full of sand' and somewhat out of
breath.

Norah CopIey's Nemesis Punished for
His Acts.
Jack Smith appeared before the Police
Court yesterday morning to receive sem
tence for disturbing the serene precincts
Of a downtown alley in general, and the
peace of Norah Copley in particular.
In response to Judge Cravens' usual
question as to whether he had any reason
to show why judgment should not be
pronounced in his case, Smith replied
that he was not guilty, and had pleaded
that way.
The court differed from Smith, how
ever, owing TO the other evidence intro
duced, ana said it would cost him $50, or
the usual seclusion from ternptation.

guilt. We should remember that the jury who
try the case have an opportunity to see the
Witnesses. observe their manner of testifying
and can judge best of their credibility, and
are therefore better prepared to pass upon

than a person who. months after the trial,
reads those same statements in cold print.

Sitting A Scandal.

Paris, Dec. 6.-According to the Eclair, NJ.
Degue, a member Of the chamber OF depu
ties, admits that he received one Of the
Thierrce checks for % 5000 francs, this being
his share, due from Baron Reinach, in q
guarantee syndicate in which NJ. Dugue who
incurred certain risks, was entitled to com
pensation if the operation Of the syndicate
was successful. The investigating commit
tee to-day examined Herbrard, Of the Temps
respecting the source from which he OBJ
tanned extracts Of the report Of NJ. Rosseau,
whom the chamber of deputies sent to ex'
anime the Panama works before it sane
toned the lottery loan. NJ. Herbrard to-day
declined to make known the source of his
information regarding his share in the Pan
ANA contracts, he said he had often before
lone business in connection with various
public works. Banker Kohn, partner OF the
late Baron Reinach, promised the commit
tee that he would examine the firms books
again and would endeavor to throw further
light on the Thierree checks.
NJ. Alberto Grevy gave evidence before the
committee to-day. He admitted that he hat
cashcd Il check for $4,000 francs. The
money had been paid to him as a member Of
the underwriting syndicate before re
ferred to. He was also Baron Reinach's
lawyer, and was remunerated for his sery
ices in checks. NJ. Grevy concluded by de
nying that he had tried to secure the sup
port Of any senators for the Panama cana
schemes.

ing Of Herr Ioewe and the life contract,
and their utterances were such as to leave
ho doubt Of the criminal nature of the
tEuEs' ctions between Loewe and the min
istry Of war. The court. upon hearing
this statement, decided to cite the four
witnesses named. Lieut.. Col. von Cos.
sinitz. of tie department of arms in the
ministry Of war, declares that there Is no
objection whatever in the war office to the
publication of the six documents submitted

the consent of Gen. Won kaltenborn-

E%nglishmen Want to Go Home.
= Brussels, Dec. 6. - When the 1nterna-
tional monetary conference resumes It's
sittings tomorrow, the first matter requir-
ing settlement will be whether the re-
port of the committee appointed to con-
slider whether Mr.. Rothschild's plans
shall be further debated or the proposals
of the American delegates proceeded
with. Mr.. Rothschild, Sir C.. Fremantle
and Sir William Houldstworth, all OF
whom are British delegates, desire some
expression of opinion regarding Mr.. Roth
schild's plan from the full conference.
Mr.. Currie, another British delegate,
aims to bring the conference to a speedy
close, and in common with some OF the
other delegates who are resigned to see
the conference result III failure, would
accelerate the consideration of the Amer
lean resolutions as Fastening the wind
ing up of the meeting. Sir Fremantle,
with Il view to the resumption of debate
on the Isothschild plan, has amended his
declaration declining to pledge the En-
glish government to withdraw its half
sovereign pieces in favor of silver, by
adding the words, Except concurrentiy
with the adoption of the Rothschild prof.
ect or some other proposal having the
same compensatory value" Sir c. Ere
mantle, who is deputy master of the
British mint, has never been known to
take independent action or personal in
i~tiative, and it is therefore taken for
granted that he is the mouthpiece of the
British government in announcing as
sent to the abolition of the half-sover'
eign.
If, despite the adverse report of the
committee, the full conference adopts the
lsothschild plan, a number of the dele
gates will want the conference to close
or adjourn Dec. 16 at the latest. If al
adjournment is taken, it is doubtful il
there will be a full attendance when the
sittings are resumed in January.

Escaped From Siberia,

Omaha, Dee. G.-Jacoh Gerber Is once
more in Omaha. having escaped from the
Siberian exile to which he was doomed
a year and a half. He arrived in the
city last night after an absence of TWEEN.
ty-one months. After being a resident
of this city for six years he returned to
Russia to dispose of what property he
had there and bring his family to this
country. He had taken out his first
papers here. and supposed that he was
to all intents and purposes a citizen Of
the United States, but subsequent events
proved that he had relied too much on
the privileges of half-complcted citizen
ship. for he was seized as soon as his
identity a discovered, though he was
at the time across the border in Germany
and at worship in Il church. Without q
trial or hearing of any sort he was start
ed to Siberia, in spite of all his friends
could do in his behalf. When the friends
of the unfortunate man in this city heard
of what occurred the case was called to
the attention of the authorities ut Wash.
ington, but careful investigation dis
closed the fact that the naturalization
process had not been fully completed and
that it would be impossible for the gov
ernment to secure the release of the
prisoner. The appearance of Gerber
among his old acquaintance last night
created surprise.

Another Will Contest.


New York, Dec. G.-When the will Of
David Edward Grouse was made public OH
Nov. 90, he having died five days before, the
requests made by the Syracuse millionaire
occasioned considerable surprise. The es-
tate has been variously estimated at from
$12, OOO, 600 to $780, 200, 900. and aside from a
lumber Of beneticiaries named the bulk Of
the wealth is to go to the testator's next
Of kim" There was last week talk of a
second will having been made in this city
in August, and a young woman known as
'Dottie Grouse made claim that she was
entitled to a share Of the estate. This young
woman, it Is said, later admitted that she
had no legal right to the name Of the dead
millionaire. However there Is a little tot
in this city who bears the name Of DOttie
Grouse, and as such Is entitled to the for
tu1e left to his next of kin" This little
part Of the city. The mother is q widow
Mrs. Siegbert Kosterlitz. One who knows
Mrs. Kosterlitz intimately, and who is thor
Cughly acquainted with her private affairs
said to \ reporter: You may authoritative
ly state that the present Mrs. Ktsterlitz was
David Edward Crouse's wife,, and that the
daughter of their lawful wedlock, now q
Child five years old, has a claim upon the
estate. This claim will be prosecuted, but
I an now not at liberty to discuss what the
plans are or to give any details upon which
will rest the proof establishing beyond q
doubt all that may become involved in the
