DEATH OF DIR. GRAVES.
Impression Growing That He Did No
Commit Suicide.

DENVER, Sept. ia letter written by
the late DR.. Graves to the Associated
Press was found this morning among the
papers he left for his wife. The com
munication, which was written a year ago
last January, few days before the date
set for his execution, solemnly declared
that he had nothing whatever to do with
the death of Mrs. Barnaby. The re-
mains Of the doctor will be taken to
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sunday night for
burial. Short funeral exercises will be
conducted by the Grand Army Of the
Republic of this city Sunday afternoon.
prior to the removal of the body East.
From an investigation made during the
past few days the impression is rapidly
gaining ground that DR.. Graves did not
commit suicide, but died Of heart disease,
brought on by long Imprisonment and
subsequent exhaustion.

ANrI-CHINEsE AGITATION.
Riverside Anxious to be Rfdded of
MonEOIianS.

RIVERSIDE, Sept. AS result of the
recent anti-Chinese agitation at Red
lands, San Bernardino and other points
in this vicinity, numbers of frightened
MOngols are making their homes IN this
city, where there has been no ex xcitement,
and where the Chinese have in no way
been molested.
The labor unions and the Federation of
Labor have been watching the increase in
numbers Of Chinese, and have at last de-
termined to take some action. Last even
ing a meeting of white labor of the city
was held, in which prominent business
men took part, for the purpose Of taking
steps to rid the city Of the undesirable
element. The meeting decided to ope-
rate through the Geary law, and to that
end committee was appointed, with full
power, to go before the District Court at
Los Angeles and secure warrants of ar
rest for number of Celestials who are
known to be here illegally. Warrants for
at least twenty will be asked for.
The white laborers of this city are
deeply in earnest about the matter, but
they will confine all their efforts within
the law, and there will be no attempt
made to abuse Chinese.

niorage without any authority from Con-
gress, under the general power which, he
claims, is conferred upon him to coin
gold and silver. The seigniorage in the
treasury amounts to about Sol. 100000.
The Secretary is very urgent to do this,
and it seems to be the opinion that he will
venture to do it. unless the President shall
disapprove OF it, without waiting for any
affirmative action from Congress. This
rumor seems astounding, and it is only
repeated in that it receives general credit.
line Secretary needs money because the
customs receipts are falling off, and be-
cause importers, in expectation of re-
dnced duties, are making no importa-
tons.

poor and lowly are not to be
put to nnecessarygeXpense or oppres-

of those who have borne the battle be
sacredly observed and administered, and
we do now solemnly and deliberately de-

each pensioner has had full notice and
opportunity 10 be heard; be it further
ResotUed, That as the Commissioner of
Pensions, by his recent Withdrawals of
obnoxious rulings, which have been so
generally condemned, has virtually ac-
knowledged the incorrectness of such
ruling, we deem it his further duty to at
once restore TO the rolls the thousands of
pensions now standing illegally sus-
pended.
The report was unanimously adopted,
and the encampment instructed the COM
mander-in-Cbief to carry the question of
the legality of the suspension of pensions
up to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The Committee on Resolutions made
many recommendations, several of which
were adopted, including a resolution ask
ing that veterans be given preference in
the public service, ana memorial ask
ing the Grand Army to hold services on
Washington's Birthday.
The new national officers were then in
stalled, and each made short address.
The Commander-in-C Chief selected DIR.

Carlisle good deal of worry. In the
treasury last night the cash balance was
reduced TO sos, 600, inclusive of the
gold reserve and Sl0,0OO,O0O abraded and

of the depicting gold reserve continues to
be the only cash balance in the treasury
