A SCHEME OF BANKERS.


Artificial Export Of Gold to Force Issue
of Uaited states Bonds.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 21.-The ques-
ton OF issuing bonds to keep the gold
reserve intact was discussed at today's
cabinet meeting. Secretary Foster is
understood to have stated that there was
*,22S, 46S Of free gold in the treasury.
minus 20, ,0O0. 600 taken from the New York
sub-treasury for export today. 1t is stated
that Rusk and Eikins sustained the presi-
dents decision against the issue of
bonds. Tracy, it is believed, sided with
Foster in favor of the bond issue. The
result. as stated on good authority. was q
decision not to issue the bonds now.
1t cannot be learned that any alternative
course of action has been decided upon BY
the cabinet in case the free gold in the
treasury becomes exhausted. The feeling
seemed to be that an emergency should
not be met before it actually arrived. 1t is
said President Harrison is convinced that
no necessity will arise for the sale of bonds
If he maintained the parity Of the two
metals. He has repeatedly aeclared that
he will maintain parity by every means in
his power. The president il credited with
the belief that the demand for gold for ex-
port Is not only artificial, but that it is part
of scheme. international in its scope,
having for its object the issue of bonds;
but when It becomes apparent that no
bonds will be issued. his opinion is said to
be that the heavy drafts upon the treasury
for gold will cease

all gold coins and all paper redeemable IN
gold Of less denomination than 81, 20
francs or % marks, and substitute silver
money vor them. In the discussion of the
various propositions, the attitude of nearly
all governments was disclosed. The recog-
milton was general In the conference that
the monetary evil required remedy.
After citing copiousiy from the speeches
made, the delegates say the conference is
to reconvene on May 3d. 1893 In the
meantime it is expected the propositions
and plans already submitted to the presi-
dent of the convention and by him trans
mitted to the several governments through
their delegates. will be considered. II is
anticipated that the delegates upon the
reassembling of the conference, will be
able to state definitely the view Of their
respective governments as to what plans
are practicable to secure the greater use of
silver as part Of the metallic money Of
the world. In concluding the report, the
delegates say they are glad to hear testi-
mony to the earnest wish OF the confer
ence that plan for the enlarged use of
silver money acceptable to ali nations and
adequate to the monetary situation. may
result from its deliberations. No recon.
.mendations or suggestions of acy kind are
made.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 22-3 a. m.-
The filibustering is continuing. with no
immediate prospects of adjournment.
There has been no break in the lines on
either side. and no prospect Of any
within a reasonable length of time.
In short time after the session began the
house became almost hopelessly entangled
in a maze OF motions, counter-motions and
other evidences of filibustering. No quorum
appearing the sergeant-at-arms was sent to
bring in absentees and for an hour or more
the house waited for his return. An all
night session was then seen to be at hand
and the usual scenes were enacted. Sew
eral amusing episodes took place, but on
the whole the session was an uninterest-
ing one. Thortly after midnight the
speaker announced that the sergeant
alarms was unable to execute the
order Of the house, and would have to ar
rest the absentees. Morse Of Massachu-
setts then moved an adjournment, but the
motion was defeated. Cummings charged
that the opponents Of the bill were upheld
by the railroads. charge which Richard
son Indignantly denied.

SHOT BY BANK BURGL AIRS.
A Leechburg, Pa, Citizen Killed Tho
Murderer Captured.

LEECHBUaG, Pa, Feb. 21.-The town was
thrown into the most intense excitement
this evening by an attempted bank rob-
berry and the murder Of a prominent citi-
zens in attempting to capture the
burglars. One of the men was
captured and narrowly escaped lynch
ing. Some boys saw five men
trying to force an entrance through one of
the back " indows OF the Leechburg bank
building. They gave the alarm to Consta-
bic Collars, S. 5. Mccullough and Council
man Schacfier. The three men hurried 10
the building. and just as they arrived one
of the burglars came out and was ordered
to surrender. The burglar drew a revolver
and fired. Schaeiier fell dead, shot
through the heart. Mccullough returned
the fire, and while the shooting was going
on a great number OF people collected.
The man who shot Councilman Schaef.
fer was arrested ana hurried to the iockup
and the citizens formed themselves into a
posse and started after the others. After
the murderer was locked mp the prison
was surrounded by armed men, and
threats of.ynching were freely INDUCED in.
but the cooler heads prevailed. and the
crowd dispersed. But little can be learned
about the gang that did the business. Ii ia
certain that the second burglar WAS
wounded and the chances Of his capture
are good, as the whole town is securing ths
country for him.

Hike opposition. The TACT that crinoline
has a battle behind it and more battles

piquant and alluring of recommenda-
tons

of cream brocade. tied ct the waist in
rather the empire style, with wide
bands of pale yellow ribbon. Frills of
old lace on tho bodice fell to the waist
and matched the puffed sleeves. Tho
skirt was 1iounced with wide rrches of
old lace, and, while it fared no more
than half the froci1s have done since
Christmas, it had lirt and a swing
that to the observant were unmistaIza-
bic. There was hoop skirt under it.
and the women eyed its wearer with
looks of startled curiosity.
But the blonde was not alone in her
temerity. a black lace gown was close
by to keep her company. The lace had
a bright green bodice and sleeves and it
had its seams outlined with Jet and

was more apparent IN this case than IN
the other. The extreme circumference
was not greater, but the fare began
