ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.

Sensational Article Regarding the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company.
NEW YORK, Aug. THE Worlds
Boston special says that a huge con-
spiracy has been unearthed in which ~
banks and banking institutions in the
country were victims. The story is to
the effect that certain employees in the
Northern Pacific Elevator company of
Minnesota issued $1,000, 900 worth Of
forged duplicate certificates for grain in
storage in the country elevators
owned by the concern, where the in
spection was not so strict as at the
terminal elevators. These forged checks
were deposited with Eastern banks as
collateral. About 500, 900 was secured
in New England and the balance In
New York. Some of the Eastern hold.
ers Of paper
Became Suspicious
and ON an investigation being made
the true state of affairs came to light.
The stockholders of the elevator were
dumbfounded when the facts came to
their notice and offers of settlement
with the banks were at once made and
terms Of a compromise offered. The
company was then reorganized as the
Lake Superior Elevator company. The
terms offered to the banks were 60 per
cent cash the remainder to be paid in
five annual payments. A committee Of
bankers whose institutions held large
amounts of elevator certificates was ap-
pointed to consider this proposition. 1t
is impossible to say exactly what course
the banks will pursue as they are
Very 10th to Talk
and in fact they have done all in their
power to keep the whole affair from
the public. The few who do say any
thing-and they are very ~few-admit
that they have been swindled and de-
clare that the swindlers ought to be
sent to prison. At the same time they
say that good business policy, under
present conditions, forbids such severe
action and especially as the srockhold-
ers of the elevator company are ready
to make q compromise settlement. The
Northern Pacific Elevator company is
10 in the hands Of a receiver, the
frauds of its employees having wiped it
out Of existence.

The Chicago Convention Promises "a

Hoped.
Nearly Seven Hundred Delegates Have
Already Registered Mt The Coin

Resolutions Likely to Follow the
Lines Laid Down LIN the Colorado
Appeal.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-Juding from the
prevailing conditions the national sill
yer convention will be q much larger
gathering than its promoters had an
ticipated. and they are s~currying
around the town in the endeavor which
Ii likely to prove futile. to ecure q
larger auditorium than thatof the First
Methodist church, which has been
engaged for the gathering. Between
e0v and 700 delegates have already
registered at the Office of "Coin," the
organ of the silverites, and the big dele
cations from Iowa, Ohio and New York
are yet TO put in an appearances.
Congressman Bland of Missouri was
n of the early arrivals at the Offices in
the Montauk block, and for q while held
something of an informal levee. Other
callers during the morning were Gen.
sral Warner, Senator Lee Mantle OF
Montana, Senator Shoup of Nevada,
Senator Dubois, Congressman Marion
Cannon OF California, Senator Hill and
ex-senator Tabor.
The resolutions, it is understood, will
follow very closely on the lines laid
down in the appeal to the people
adopted by the mass meeting in Denver
q few weeks since. The delegates on
the ground are at sea regarding the
permanent craftsmanship, and it is
probable that General Warner will pre-
side over both temporary and perma-
nent organizations.

1SevOImtAOnf6tg Win q Battle In Mo
aragua.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. A special from
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, to The
Herald says: Reports have reached
here that General Zavala has strongly
fortified Granada and has organized an
army OF 1000 men to defend the city.
1t Is also said that General Zavala has
made a proposition to the chiefs OF the
Leon revolutionists for a settlement OF
trouble and restoration of peace.
Details of the battles fought at Mate
ares. where the government forces
made their first defense Of Managua,
and the n at Managua, where the gov.
eminent troops were forced to ~svacuate
q capital. are gradually coming in.
General Zeelaya led the attacking
troops on each occasion. A determined
resistance was made by the government
forces commanded by General Avilez.
There was desperate fighting at each
place and the
Loss of Life was Enormous.
General zavala, president of Granada
government, admits that 600 men lost
their lives in two engagements, but the
owest estimate placed by impartial OBJ
servers upon the combined loss Of the
two armies in the battle of Matearas
n Managua is from LOCO to 400
lives.
Owing to the fact that Policarpo
Boniila participated in these ngage
ments with 700 OF his Honduran follow
ers and thus probably gained the VIC
tory for the leon party, it is reported
that General Va>qnez, dictator Of Hon
duras, will send a large force to aid the
Granada r'rly. yas9uez probably
fears that the success OF the Leon party
with the aid of Bonilla would be fol-
lowed by an invasion of Honduras by
N~icara@nans to cid Boniila in his eff
forts to overthrow ttat government.
