Andrew Hamilton is rot n name IA familiar
as IA household word to the people OF the Empire
State. but he cnoys-if not wide iame-a llrn'
pull with the Democratic powers that be.
Some months ago he served as counsel for spc-
cial legislative committee on taXation, his duties
being light and easy and not of long continr-
ance. Mr. Hamilton is certainly not leader Of
the bar. but at all events he puts liberal con-
structon upon the value Of his services. For
the work referred 10 he sent in modest bill for
$4,000 ard it has been allowed. Even Gov
ernor Flower, who is working the economy
racket just now for as much as it can yiesi.
made no objection TO the Hamilton bill. II
lIamilton's pull could IL exhibited under
glass at Chicago it would be certain TO attract
a large degree Of attention

With the rejuvenated Giants and Bride
crooms New-York and Brooklyn are in fair
way to see some remarkable baseball games
during the present season. The local manage
ment acted wisely in releasing Crane and King,
the pitchers, for they are veterans whose work
has shown that they are not up to date. The
signing of Kelly and Baldwin was another wise
step. and with these accessions the Giants
ought to be formidable indeed. Brooklyn has
had some strong teams heretofore, but never
one that could equal the playing which the
BridegroOms are now doing.
The Worlds Fair has been open less than
three weeks, but already one accident has
occurred. BY the collapse of a section OF
flooring yesterday seventy-fve or eighty women
were precipitated to the ground in struggling
mass. It Is fortunate that no more than nine
OF them sustained serious injuries. This oc-
currence should not fail to be regarded by the
Director General and all in authority as a
warning of the gravest character. Every
visitor to the Exhibition wants to feel sure
that he Is not impering life Or limb by going
there.
Apparently there need be no apprehension
of serious trouble in either this country or
China on account of the Geary law. There
was reason to fear outbreaks on the part of
the Chinese against Americans resident in
China In case the law had been put into effect
here with hsrshness. a conference held yes
to-day between Secretary Gresham and the
Chinese Minister, however, seems to have set
q rest the question OF reprsals by the people
of China toward American missionaries and
90 forth Our own Government is disposed to
move slowly in the matter, and the Chinese
have no excuse, for the present at least, for
resorting to violence.
Attorney General Olney, it appears, is pre-
pared to act in behalf OF the Government
in case anything is done by the Worlds
Fair management to open the Exposition on
Sunday. The right of the Government to

Hsa whether the Fair ought to be opened on
tnday is totally different thing from the

Instead of clearing up, the rapid transit
situation seems to grow more mixed. Mr..
Goulds latest communication to the Commits
soners is-whethcr Intentionally or not-seIi-
ously lacking in clearness. Informal cOnsulta-
ton with his fellow-directors is scarcely b''sl-
nesslike. to say the least of it, Why has not
the proposal of the Commissioners been ac-
cepted or rejected outright? The course OF
the Manhattan Company would seem to be
designed to gain time, in the hope of securing
the terms which it wants. The Commissioners
are to meet again on Tuesday, but, so far as
can be seen, they are all at sea as to what they
will do. At meeting which they held on
March II Mr.. Starin proposed plan for an
independent elevated road on the West SIDE.
Presumably that plan is lying on the table
and perhaps it may be taken up for serious
consideration. At all events, it is high time
for the Commissioners to abandon their policy
of daiance, and do something.

on that day after accepting $2,5OO00O from
the National Government on condition that 1t
should be closed on Sundays. AS honorable
men, the managers should feel bound to return
that money before taking the step which
good many people in Chicago think ought to
be taken. The present controversy is an I'M

would make it still more so.

Dr. Tamagcs Tabernacle in Brooklyn is an

nounced that large Of money must be
raised, or else the church must stop. Ills first
appeal was in van and then he announced as his

ton to-day. Evidently lie meant business, but
there he those who will deny his right to leave
his church in the lurch when IL had undertaken

with the Tabernacle creditors, and there will be
no resignation. Now an era Of economy Is Iii
order, and the Tabernacle shoull set u good en-

interests the public at large is the escape
of the Tabernacle enterprise from failure III spite
of the great vogue which DIR. lalmage has enjoyed

take his own time to confess. Finally
he put both lis han,.s Gown on N,
knees and with head bowed said, i
stole shat gold N! self ,"
Continuing, Chief Drummond said
Gle declared lhatthc government owed
it 10 him for his Ions SO vice at iowsaIary
Over and over again he reiterated tie
assertion that he had made millions OF
dollars fgr the Treasury Department..
and that it was due him he should have
some share OF these imaginary profits
He trembled every time he spoke OF
gold, and the very mention Of the word
seemed to tasciua!e him.
He said he took the first bar because
it had fallen down on the floor, inside
the vault. where he had to pick it up.
The temptation was too much for him,
and he carried it out. The next day he
melted it, sent it to himself at the mint
by express, and paid his own messenger
for it in gold coin. lie did not remcm-
Der just what year he did this, but be
thought it was shortly after the barred
door inside tie vault had been scaled,
in 1887.
II went with him to his home in
Darby, and he expressed indignation
that / wanted back all the gold he had
taken. He told me it would be very
unjust to rob him, inasmuch as nearly
$4,000 had been spent in improving
his real estate. He said he loved gold
and was happy when be handled it.
He thought the government was per-
scouting him and that it had never
treated him fairly. At least half doz-
en- times he went all over the story
of how he had caught John Negus rob-
bing the mint twenty-five years ago,
and had thereby done public service
for which 10 credit had been given
him.
He did not hesitate at all to tell me
how he had showed the twenty gold
bars through the ventilating shaft, but
he lodged for awhile the questions as
10 the location of the ten bars which he
had carried outside the mint What
was LETT, he said, he had hid in the gar
ret of his house, and it was there. l
found it buried away in closet, the
door Of which was concealed in the
wall.
At first I only got one gold tar and
$4,000 in ten-dollar gold pieces. But
after awhile ne pointed out the hiding
place OF the rest of the 81 900 and the
crucibles into which he had smelted
the metal. When he got this for me
he promised to make complete rcsti-
tuition, and | think that there is no
question but that the government will
come out whole. While Cochran is
not wholly criminal, he is not alto
gelher a kleptomaniac.
';DIy idea is that his passion for the
actual possession Of gold, coupled with
his dislike for the government, has un-
balanced his mind TO some degree"
Chief Drummond said that his men
were holding Cochran, pending orders
from Washington.
"He is rational and cheerful the Sc
cret service chief concluded, land
what he regrets most is that what be
stole will he taken away from him"
Mr.. Cochran ranked as one of the
leading men in Darby. He is an at
tive member OF the Presbyterian
Church, and liberal supporter of the
church work. OF late he has been
much interested in the Salvation Army
which has been conducting an active
campaign at Mount Moriah.
