Bold Rabberie $.

Chicago, Dec. 22,-Miss Grace
Swift, daughter of Acting Mayor
George b. Swift, was assaulted by
footpads yesterday afternoon and
robbed of her pocket book and fur
boa. Miss Swift was passing an
alley, almost within stones throw
OF her home, when two men sprang
out, threw her to the ground and
snatching her purse and boa, ran
away. The young lady was badly
choked by the men, who drew the
boa tightly around her neck.
Mrs. Plawden Stevens was attack ed
at the same place Monday, but her
screams scared the thieves away.
Mrs. Lawrence, wife of minister,
was robbed near the same place last
Saturday by a young man who grab
bed her purse. All three attempts
were made in the daylight.

CHRISTMAS.

This word carries a certain charm
with 1T, especially to the hearts of
the little folks, who, be they rich or
poor, look forward to it with the
same amount of expectancy.
The child of rich parents expects a
good deal, while the children Of the
poor expect that, which though
small in itself, is the fulfllment of
their fondest hopes, and these child
rem are made just as happy, and en-
joy Christmas just as much as the
children of the rich,
The wants of the two are mater
tally and widely different, but their
cups of happiness are relatively the
same size, and both are filled to the
brim, and perhaps, after all, the cup
of the lonely child runs over little
on this day of days, when We all
seem to forget our own cares, in our
endeavors to make others happy and
contented; when the words of the
Savior, ct is better to give than re-
ceive, " seem like gentle admoni-
ton against selfish thoughts, and
"Peace on earth, good will to men,
is the only NOTICE which should gov
ern our actions.
The APPEAL will NOT see you again
until after the 25th, so we wish you
all very merry Christmas, in adj
vance, and thrown in happy New
Year.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Colorado Senators VIII Oppose Mr.. Platt'
--- Closure Resolution.

Colorado Senators VIII Oppose MIR. Platt's
Closure Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The closure res
olution. which was introduced in the SEN
ate on Wednesday by Mr.. Platt, was taken
up yesterday and discussed until nearly Q
O'Clock, when it went over in order to give
Mr.. Turpie an opportunity to speak upon
it. The only two speeches upon the reso-
luton yesterday were made by the Colo
ado Senators, Messrs Wolcott and Teller.
Mr.. Wolcott said that he would vote
against it, but that he would make no pro-
longcd opposition to it, and that he thought
it could be very soon brought to vote.
As to the repeal bill itself, if his associates
should deem i. best to contest that meas
uresinoh by inch, he would cheerfully and
cordially join with them. Mr.. Teller was
not SO literally inclined towards the clo-
sure rule as his colleague, but asserted
that he would resist by every method, OBJ
structive and otherwise, the adoption of a
rule which would limit debate. The re-
peal bill was taken up at 2 o'clock, and
speeches against it were made by Messrs.
George, Hansbrough and Stewart. An
agreement was proposed by Mr.. Noor-
hees, and assented to unanimously, that
from Monday. and until further orders,
the daily sessions shall be from II u. m. to
6p. IN.
The session of the house was without
incident The report of the committee on
accounts assigning clerks to committees
was adopted. A resolution calling for in
formation relative to the enforcement of
the Geary exclusion law was agreed to.

BUSINESS STILL BOOMS.
The Improvement No Longer Mi
orosoOpic or Sentimental.
INDUSTRIES RAPIDLY RALLYING.

Money Has Become Abundant and Easy
at Three Per Cent. on Caii-Lnrge Sums
of Money from the west-Foroign Trade
Grows More Favorable.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: There is no
longer only microscopic or sentimental
improvement that cannot be measured.
Some increase is seen both in production
and in distribution of products. True, it
is small as yet, but after the worst flnaa-
cinl blizzard for twenty years it is not to
lie expected that all roads can be cleared
in day. But all conditions, except at
Washington, favor gradual recovery Busi-
ness goes on in unquestioning confidence
that the general desire of the people will
In some way prevail.
Money has become abundant and easy
Mt per cent. on call, and stagnant spec
ulation fortunately favors greater freedom
in commercial loans. Stocks and products
are dull, without serious fall in prices, the
industries are rapidly rallying to make
good the scarcity of supplies caused by
weeks of inaction, the vitality of the de-
mand for goods shows that the wonderful
consuming power Of the people, II lessened
for time, has not ceased, and the shrink
age in the record of commercial disease
and mortality shows progress toward
health
Neither the advance of IL cents in ex-
change nor the small absorption of gold
by the treasury has been felt, for the mar
ket is long way beyond the point at
which it waited with breathless anxiety
for steamers. Monetary conditions favor
revival of trade and industry. While re-
newals are as large as ever, commercial
loans are no longer unknown.
Maturity of large western obligations
has brought hither unusual sums of
money from that section, but the banks
while retiring part of the circulation re-
Gently taken out and some certificates,

mercial Indebtedness to mature in1October

more favorable. Exports of principal
products in August were FL 1g7, ,52s in
value, or 50, 494, S46 more than last year,
which, with the known decrease in i'm
ports here, indicates a small excess of ex-
ports.
The industries are giving strong proof
that consumption of goods was not ms
much arrested as many feared when the
collapse Of trade and manufactures came
While manufacturers show extreme eau

PHILADELPHIA, Sept % The Worlds
fair committee of city councils is. .arrang
ing for the return trip OF the Libfrty bell
to this city. The trip honlewards will be
under the auspices of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, and 1t is proposed
to take the relic, which has attracted so
much attention at the Columbian expo
sition, through the New England states,
but the exact route has not yet been de
cided upon. 1t is probable that the bell
will be taken northward from Chicago
and brought east by way Of Buffalo.
After direct tour of New York state the
train will 90 as far north as Portland Me.

none of it serious enough to cause any de-
lay in the race. The Valkyrie's com.
mander, Captain w. Cranfleld, said he
could easily get ready for the race on
Oct. s.
The Valkyrie, like the Vigilant, is more
of a racer than pleasure boat She is
built essentially for speed. Her quarters
are cramped aud her crew haven't sur
plus of room. But in no other manner
are the two boats alike. She has sail
area of about 10000 feet, which is smaller
than the Nigilant's by some 500 feet.
While she is keel boat, she is by no
means the typical English cutter. She
has the best elements of the cutter, com
biped with those of an American center
boarder
The Valkyrie has a good record. She has
taken pnrt in twenty three regnttas, out
of which she captured nineteen prizes,
eleven tirsts, five seconds and three thirds
OncS she was disqualified, once she met
with an accident; but it is conceded By all
hands that she is the best racer in England
and the worthy competitor Of the best
racer In America
The English yacht was taken TO Erie
Basin this morning, and her masts and
spars are being removed. Her racing spars
and sails, which came over in the steamer
Berlin some ten days ago, will be put in
place, and the work of getting her in
racing trim will be pushed
People say that the Valkyrie was over
due. The Thistle, the last boat to contest
for the Americas cup, took thirty-two
days to cross the Atlantic ocean The
Nalkyrie crosses in two days less. There
was, therefore, no cause for alarm on her
account; but a great deal of anxiety was
expressed notwithstanding.

steamer Campania this morning. Lord

WHY VAN ALIEN WAS NAMED.
None but Millionaire Could AFFORD to
Represent Us In Italy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The state de-
partment officials are reticent. as usual,
concerning the appointment of Van Allen
as ambassador to Italy. but there is no
reason to believe that none of them know
anything about the big campaign contribu-
ton. The transaction took place long be.
fore Judge Gresham was thought of for
secretary of state.
The president objected to Van Allen,
holding that he was not suitable man
for the place. Meantime he offered the
mission to other Democrats, men whom
he regarded as well qualified for the du-
ties. 1t was refused, the usual response
being that none but wealthy man could
hold the position; that all the environ
ments required a lavish display of wealth.
and that even the Americans in Rome
looked with contempt upon tho minis
ter who was forced to live within his sal
ary.
Finally the president concluded that II
none but millionaire who could entertain
lavishly and make gorgeous display
would suit, Van Allen might as well have

SMITH ON THE PENSIONS.
The Secretary Declares That Ho IL I'm
Favor of Them.

Favor OF Them.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-In an interview
which is published in today's Post Secre-
tary Smith defines at length his position
on the question of pensions. Mr.. Smith
says it is wrong to suppose that he is
common enemy to pensions. He actually
and conscientiously believes that there
have crept upon the pension rolls, by var
ious rules of pension commissioners and
the work of examiners and other officers
of the pension bureau, an enormous num-
Der of persons who are not entitled to pen
sions. "These are the ones l am after"
said the secretary "and they are the ones
we intend to weed out of the pension list
II they reduce the total number of PEN
sioners one-half."
Referring to the order of Commissioner
Lochren, directing that all pensioners
whose claims were not good upon the pre-
sentation made should be dropped from
the rolls for n period of sixty days, when
they must make their claims good or suf-
fer permanent suspension, Secretary Smith
stated that this action was taken when he
was absent from Washington, and that it
did not meet his approval. He believed
that, whether there was authority or not,
pensioner after once being placed upon
the rolls should have notice before being
dropped.
Questioned as to the effect of the modi-
fled order, the secretary stated that about
one half of those placed upon the list of
suspected frauds and who were given no
tioe that they must furnish proof of their
right to receive pensions, We're dropped, or
would be dropped, at the end of the time
within which proof was required, and that
at least half Of those who were dropped
would never be able to furnish satisfac-
tory evidence that they were eutitled tn
pensions.
The secretary declared that 1t was a
great mistake to suppose that he intended
to decrease pension expenditures by de-
priving those who were entitled to pen
sons under the law of their just rewards.
He declared with earnestness that he was
not oDposed to pensions
