COMMAND the influence and respect
among the people as a sincere aoVo-
cate for the free coinage OF silver.
Of course it has been known all along
that the Senator wanted free coinage
simply for the profits that might ac-
crue therefrom to him as a SILVER
mine owner but it was natural to sup
nose that he was sincere enough In
the matter to abide by the result OF
the same in any business he mlent
transact. While predicting tnat
ruin will not come to the country as
a result of free coinage he virtually
shows that he has no faith in ms own
words by providing that his loan
shall be paid upon gold basis.

EX-SECRETARY FAIRCHILD made a
speech the other night and in the
course of it took occasion to pay a
glowing tribute to the members of the
Bar Association who found Judge
Maynard guilty of crime. 1.-THE
splendid applause which this tribute
received" says the New York Mail
and Express, ''proyes that the State
Democracy rejects the stolen Senate. .
What pity the Estate Democracy"
did not rise up at the time the steal
was being consummated and enter its
protest and not wait until after it
saw it would not receive any of the
benefits from the steal. Some things
lose all their flavor by delay, one Of
which is this late day protest of
Democrats against Hills corrupt pro-
pensities.

HAD the Democrats lived about
400 years ago they might have carried
Rhode Island. They seem to have
that people read nowadays.
They sent lot of free silver coinage
men into the state to advocate Demo-
cratic measures, but muzzled them on
the silver question, thinking thereby
the people would never suspect tneir
true position. But their sgar-marks
were too plain. The people had read
the silver debates and couldn't DC
fooled. They were on the right SIDE
of the fence and preferred staying
there, to going of on a Democratl'
straddle.

SENATOR HILL has overreached
himself again, and this time with his
stolen legislature at Albany. His re-
marks in regard to what ought to be
done, and also about the independ-

such an insulting nature that two
senators have broken
away and act with the Republicans.

ICEBERGS ALL AROUND,
The Bark Alice Returns From Dangerous
Cruise at Cape Horn.

The Bark Alice Returns From a Dan .erous
Cruise at Cape Horn.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Captain Joseph
Swain, of the bark Alice, which arrived to-
day from Auckland after trip of 83 days,
had a tale b tell of his experience with ice
bergs in the low latitudes. The Alice
rounded Cape Horn early in June. On
June 18, in latitude 43o 40" south and
longitude $50 east, Captain Swain's look
out sighted berg which lowered 400 feet
in the air. Several more were noticed in
the afternoon, and when daylight broke the
next morning the ice was everywhere. On
the port side was a solid bank of ice, which
extended without a break for 35 miles as
the ship sailed along it. On the starboard
side the ocean was dotted with floating
bergs, of which 300 were counted during the
day.
At o'clock the next day another big ice
foe was encountered, and the helmsman
was kept busy dodging icebergs all the
evening On the morning of the 21st a
sold bank of ice was noticed on the port
side. which Captain Swain describes as a
long reef, extending for 40 miles and vary
ing from 20 to 400 feet in height. The mate,
in the crosstrees, reported floating ice in
all directions. The Captain said that much
of the ice appeared to be blackened with
age. The bergs took all sorts of fantastic
forms, representing, among other objects,
trees and houses.

They Ar. to Be Issued in Honor OF the Dis
covery Of America.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Hazen, pursuant to the
recommendation, of the chiefs of the Post
Office Department, has caused to be issued a
circular to all countries composing the
postal union, inviting them to make an ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. 1t is
expected that the postal exhibit of this. as
we'll as that of foreign countries, will be
very complete. Mr. Hazen is preparing
designs for a set of stamps to be issued by
the Postofice Department in honor OF the
four hundredth anniversary of the discovery
of America by Columbus. One of the
scenes to be illustrated undoubtedly is the
landing of Columbus
The convent of La Rabida, where Colum-
bus was housed just before his departure
from Spain on his voyage of discovery, may
be the chief figure of another. The head Of
Columbus will decorate one of the stamps,
probably the 2-cent stamp. 1t is not the
intention of the department to retire per-
manently the current issue of stamps, but it
is likely that the issue will be suspended
for year, and that at the end of that time
the dies and plates for the jubilee stamps
will be destroyed, and the old dies and
plates will be delivered to the contractor
again. The intention now is to have only
one portrait on any of the stamps, that of
Columbus General Hazen expects to have
them on sale on January l.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2.-[Special i
The Indictment of O. E. Moore, T. H.
Downing and A. A. Hoyt to-day for felony
exposed one of the worst land
swindles ever perpetrated in Cali
fornia, because the victims include
hundreds of laboring people here and
in the east. Five years ago Moore bought
a !, ,4oO-acre tract of land adjoining Senator
Stamford's big vineyard in Tehama county
for IS an acre. The seller expected the
cash payment, as Moore represented that
his colony scheme would bring hundreds of
settlers and would advance the price o f
adjacent land.
Moore obtained S70 900 loan on the land
from the San Francisco Savings Union. He
transferred part of it to Downing and Hoyt,
forming the California Land Company.
Then the three issued circulars, picturing
the rare opportunity offered to poor people
to get fve-acre fruit farm on the install
ment plan, without cash payment. They
offered land at SIS per acre, with the pay
ment of 81 per week on each acre.
The bait was eagerly swallowed and about
400 people began making weekly payments
Contracts were given which called for deeds
when all the payments had been made.
About two years ago Downing transferred
his interest back to Moore, and soon
after Hoyt fed to Mexico to escape
the results Of embezzlement. Last year
Moore's started dime savings bank here and
swindled many people before the Bank
Examiners shut him up. The savings bank
has now begun suit for S63, 900 which the
land company owes it. When this is paid
there will be nothing left for the poor
people.

Long Runs and Little Fay the Grievance

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
NEW YORK, Aug 2.-When the 85 boys
employed in the American District Tele-
graph Office, at 9 New street, as messengers
received their pay a week ago last Monday,
the got only So 81 instead OF 81 As. which
they had previously received. They had
been doing good deal of figuring, and had
discovered that one days pay had been de-
Quoted They concluded that this day was
Sunday, and when Manager Banks ordered
them to 60 to work they refused and struck
to-day. They assaulted the new boys and
it required policeman to keep them from
doing other damage.
The boys have been complaining Of the
long hours, and that they do not get paid
for messages which are undelivered because
there is no one at the address to receive
them. There is also a report that the COM
pany intends to abolish the payment of 2L
cents for every message brought back. The
boys have been meeting in the mission in
the Dutch Reformed Church on Fulton
street.
Two other offices, besides the central, are
expected to join in the movement All
three Offices employ about 800 boys. Man
ager Raynes, of the company, however,
when seen at the-central Office, was positive
there would be no strike. He said the boys
really had no grievance. How long they
worked, as well as how much they made. Z
depended entirely upon themselves They
receive so much for each message they de-
liver
He acknowledged that, when messages
are undelivered because there is no one at
the address to leave them, the BOYS get no
pay. The company has no intention,
though, of abolishing the 2115 cents rate for
return messages.

TO ROB FIVE BANKS.
The Daring Scheme of Chicago Clerks to
Capture Their Coin.

The Daring Scheme of Chicago Clerks to
Capture Their Coin
CHICAGO, Aug. 25-[ Scecial. 1.-The dis
honorable discharge of George Bartels, pay
ing teller of the Central Trust
and Savings Bank, ard his subse-
quent fight with $1,000 of the firms
cash, has unearthed gigantic conspiracy to
defraud five Chicago banks. The scheme
was partly successful, and nearly $50, 900
was secured from Bartel's former en-
ployers, but was made good by the men who
guaranteed the firms accounts.
William A. Forbes, N. W. Burnside and
Charles Manson, formerly of the Chicago
Bank Note Company, have been arrested
charged with conspiracy to defraud and the
issuance of fraudulent paper. The firm fol-
lowed the old scheme of shining or kiting
checks, and Bartels stood in with
them. Charles Nichols, go-between, ex-
posed the whole scheme. BY collusion
with Bartels the great run of paper was
dumped on his bank. The system was SIM
pie. The teller, in the absence of the
cashier, certified all paper, and the forged
drafts, checks, etc, were only de-
posted when the higher officials of
the bank were out. The plotters intended
to pull all the banks they had deposited
money with into their net and then break
up and clean out. However, the paper
came to protest too soon to admit of more
extended fraud, and the ring was brought
up with round turn.

The President and Paying Teller of a New

Fight-It Only Lasted a Round and the
President Won
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-ISpecial There
was a rough and tumble fight Monday after
noon in the private Office of David B.
Powell, President of the National City
Bank, Brooklyn. The battle only lasted
for one round, and was fought without
referee, timekeepers or bottle holders, and
regardless of rules. The contestants were
President Powell and his Paying Teller,
Andrew A. Rowe. Each is about so. Mr.
Powell is few pounds the heavier.
The story is that the row began at desk
in the main room of the bank at which Mr.
Rowe was seated. A dozen clerks were
present. MI. Powell, SO it is said, went up
to Mr.. Rowe, and leaning over, said some
thing to him. "I'l do nothing of the
kind" was the answer. Mr.. Powell reached
down, grabbed Mr.. Rowe by the coat COL
lar, and lifted him from the chair. Mr.
Rowe stretched out on the floor Mr..
Powell lifted him again and rushed him
into back room. Mr.. Powell jammed Mr..
Rowe's hat on Mr.. Rowe's head, pointed to
the street door and said, go" Mr.. Rowe
went He has not returned to the bank.
President Powell said tonight:
''This trouble is ali caused by Mr.. Rowe
If he had listened to me it never would
have happened. He has been in the bank
25 years and has been promoted from time
to time. His family is in the country and
he has been drinking. When leaned over
him Monday 1 told him to come into my
Office, as his condition rendered him unfit
for business. He wouldn't come, SO I took
him by the collar and pulled him in. That's
all there is to it" Mr.. Rowe declined to
say anything about the affair.

WITHDREW FOR MONEY.

A Little Sensation Created in Syracuse,
N. Y, by tho stoppage OF Contest for
tho Sherif's Of1ce-congress Caucuses
Go on just the Same.
SYRACUSE, Aug. 2.-[Special Phillip 8.
Ryder's acceptance of a money considera-
ton for the withdrawal of his contest
against John A. Hoxie for possession
of the Sheriff's Office in Onondaga
county is likely to be prolific
in political scandal. Ryder to-day pub
lished an interview, in which he accuses
the Democratic leaders with bad faith in
not supporting him in his case against
Hoxie. He says he was financially unable
to carry the contest through the courts, and
a consideration having been offered him if
he settled, he could see no better way out
of the matter.
In Ryder's opinion the Democratic
leaders, including Henry S. Mowry, the
local boss under the Cleveland administra-
tion; William B. Kirk, the State Commit
teeman, and Colonel j. W. Yale, Chairman
of the County Committee, were afraid to
aid him lest they would incur the enmity of
of Congressman James j. Belden. Indeed,
Ryder intimates that these Democrats en-
tered into deal with the Republicans,
especially Mr. Belden, who is particularly
interested In Hoxie, the Republican incum-
bent of the Sheriff's Office.
The Syracuse Journal condemns the settle
ment as a move to prevent the exposure of
the persons responsible in November last
for the mutilation of the ballots in this
county. On the other hand, the faction of
the Republican party for whom the Journal
speaks is accused of being in league to oust
Hoxie because he is an adherent of Mr..
Belden. The Democratic newspapers in
Syracuse are also by the ears over the affair,
the Courier condemning Ryder and the Ne,cs
approving him.
Notwithstanding this incident the Con-
gress caucuses held in Syracuse to-day were
uncontested against Mr.. Belden. The His
cock Hendricks Republicans stayed away
from the polls and allowed the Belden dele
gates to be elected. His nomination is now
assured without opposition.
