CHARGED WITH ENTERTAINMENT

A Warrant Issued for the Arrest of A.
M. Downes of the Firm of e. j.
Downes & Co., Accused OF Embez-
cling seven Kindred Dollars From
the White Star Steamship Company
supposed to Have Left the City.
Up to late hour last night Arthur N.
Downes of the firm of e. ]. Downes & Co.,
q warrant for whose arrest on the charge
of embezzlement from the White Star
Steamship company has been issued, had
not been apprehended, and 1t was the gen
eral impression that Mr.. Downes had
eluded the officers and left the city.
The warrant for Mr.. Downes' arrest was
issued by City Attorney Dow upon com
plant of Attorney W. A. Wright, who
represents the steamship company in a le-
gal capacity in this city, and charges Mr..
Downes with the embezzlsment of $500
from the White Star Steamship company
Of New York city. It was stated yester
day that the additional charge Of forgery
might be placed against him, as the com
pany have what they consider conclusive
evidence that he ia also guilty Of this Of
Tense. IL
The accused learned that warrant was
to be issued for his arrest and made efforts
through his counsel, ex.Judgs Sheldon, to
to be allowed time to settle the matter by
paying the amount claimed to have been
appropriated by him. Attorney Wright
consented to allow him until 1 O'Clock, but
at that hour no restitution had been made
by Downes aud the warrant was placed in
Detective Reilly's hands to serve.
Several weeks ago the White Star Steam
ship company discovered that the Downes,
who were their agents, had failed to turn
over or account for So, 500 which they had
drafts on foreign countries. They placed
the matter in the hands of Attorney
Wright, who succeeded in having the
Downes make good the full amount of the
company's claim. At the time 1t was
limited that prosecution would follow, but
inasmuch as the settlement which the
Downes' made was perfectly satisfactory
to the company, the matter was dropped.
The discovery resulted, however. in the
firm of E. ]. Downes & Co. being dis
solved, D. A. Tower of New York, who
was the COMPANY" taking charge of
the business, which he sfterward dis
posed of to the present proprietor, John
NJ. Lines. After the dissolution Of the
partnership the Downes' opened an agency
for the sale of drafts and steamship
tickets in the Exchange building.
Early this week the White Star company
discovered another shortage in the accounts
of the Downes' and took steps to secure
themselves.
This discovery is what led to the issuing
of the warrant which was placed in Detec-
tive Sergeant Reilly's hands yesterday af-
ternoon.
The manner Of conducting the draft
business makes it possible for dishonest
agent to appropriate considerable money
from the company which he represents
without being detected for some time, as
1t takes several months to transmit the
drafts to their destination and back to the
main Office of the company.
Inquiry at the home of Mr.. Downes last
evening failed to elicit any further infor.
nation upon the subject other than the
fact that Mr.. Downes was not at home and
his wife was not cognizant of his present
whereabouts.

THE SILVER PROBLEM.

Consul General New Believes 1t Is Ap-
preaching u Solution.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-When John G.
New, formerly treasurer of the United
States. and now consul general to London.
was in Washington recently he talked
freely on the silver situation in England.
"The assurance of bimetalic congress,
with England thoroughly aroused to the
pressing necessity of afiirmstive action is
in itselfa great triumph" said Mr.. New,
but the certainty Of results big with happy
promise to our silver interests and to all
commercial interests everywhere is still
more q matter for congratulation. l come
directly from London and assure you that
no efforts to suppress the rising in England
in fav or of binetalism will succeed. When
tell you that at last the directors of
institution in the world. are actually
alarmed at the narrow basis of financial
operations. through gold alone and are
joining others in urging bimetallism, you
will gain some idea of the pressure which
was brought upon England to join the
United States in the ,st practical movement
toward International Gimetallism which we
have had in the last twenty years.
Do believe there will be substantial
rssults9 just as thoroughly as l can be-
leve ANYTHING that has not been actually
demonstrated. l believe that the onto ome
of this approaching conference will be emil
nently satisfactory, not only to our great
republican west, with its important mining
interests but to the whole country IA we'll.
Tho conference ia bound to DO a great suo-
cess, and l understand that q great many
silver men, who spoke f1ippantly of it at
first, are now seek ing shelter"

Though the weather in the morning prom

ering ever seen at funeral in Montana,
and it Is conseryativsly estimated that more
thnn 5000 people were in attendance.
Within an hour the hotel lobbies the
verandas aud the walks were all but black
with humanity. Silent respect for tho dead
WAS broken only by whispered conversation
in little groups of f.isnds who had come
from long distances. 1t was soene diiier-
ent from any in the history of this beauti-
full resort. In place of merry guests were
lines of sorrowful friends, millionaires, pol
iticians. society leaders and day laborers
mingling in common sympathy over
the death of one who had been friend to
all alike. The curious element in tho crowd
was very small. Not all we're personal
friends but those who never knew the true
worth of the great benefactor were there to
show by their presence their appreciation
of his value 70 the city.

PORTLAND. Ore. May 29.-The prosacu-
tion in the Briggs case are jubilant because
they got all thev demanded. They are sat
isied and will return to New York to renew
the work. The position Of the conservative
men is that of partial satisfaction, some
being dissatisfied because the case Was not
brought to an absolute decision on the
spot. In the vote yesterday Moderator
Young had no voice. being debarred by the
constitution. but he expressed himself to-
day as satisfied with the action taken.
Chairman Smith. of the judicial commit
tee. declined to express an opinion. The
vote to sustain was 30 large that the GEN
eral sentiment is that of satisfaction. but
those who for constitutional reasons voted
against the appeal in toto are preparing q
formal protest which will be largely signed
and will be entered upon the minutes. To
morrow the formal resolution disposinp of
the case will be offered and it Ia not expected
there will be much discussion, but the
wording Of it il regarded AZ important and
the interests of all parties will be carefully
guarded. The order for ton O'clock is the
supplementary report of the theological
ssminnries' committee and will scarcely be
conducive OF tho harmony which is desired,
The remainder of the business session will
be hurried through because of the growing
desire of the commission to return to their
homes.
