States HIS Views on the Treasury Crisis.
Result OF an Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, D. @. April 2S.-sena.
tor Chandler has some positive views
on financial and other questions Of the
day. ~ can state the position l take" :"
said the senator, 'in a single PROPOSE
ton, and that is that the secretary OF
the treasury ought to use the hundred
million OF the reserve If 1t becomes
necessary and not issue any bonds un-
til he is obliged to. That large fund
was made to be used; that is what 1t is
there for and it should be called upon
before any other steps are taken. The
law requires national banks to retain
ten per cent OF their earnings for sur
plus to be used in an emergency, and
why should not the government resort
to the same policy. am afraid that
gold will soon 60 to premium and the
country be forced to a silver basis"
When asked what effect the financial
situation would have upon the calling
Of IN extra session, Mr.. Chandler re-
piled that the question could best be
answered by the party now in power.
"The question OF an extra session." he
continued, depends entirely upon the
present administration, whether 1t is
broad and large in its contemplation OF
public affairs or small and inadequate;
whether it shall provo strong and cour-
ageous. II 1t is strong and has the
courage for which some people give 1t
credit, Mr., Cleveland will call an extra
session and seek the repeal OF the law
Of 1890; whether Congress will or will
not follow the advice of the President
in this matter, he can at least place the
responsibility upon Congress. In my
opinion Mr. Cleveland win surely go to
ruin il he permits gold to go to premi.
um rather than call an extra session OF
Congress. Financial problems are not
the only ones we have to face,
however. II the programme Of tar
i'll smashing is to be conducted
tho people who have money invested in
protected and their allied industries
will DO exceedingly shy about investing
their capital. Times will, as a natural
sequence, become hard and American
wages will fall. This will be the newt
able result Of an assault upon the tariff.
1t looks TO me as II the policy OF Mr..
Cleveland was to encourage foreign I'm.
migration, and especially that OF Jew.
ish character. Certain recent acts OF
his surely point in this direction, and
the result OF such policy can but work
to the disadvantages OF tho laDoring
classes and the general misfortune Of
the people. Undesirable immigrants
should be kept from our shores and
the late legislation was intended to ac-
complish this result, In view OF the re-
cent acts OF the administration, the act
OF Congress leveled at this evil bids fair
to be negatived and made Of no avail"

Grow Indignant Because They Are De-

New YoRK, April 2s.-The children
OF the desert tore their robes and tram
pied their turbans in the dust yesterday.
They camo on the French steamer La
Touraine, and were on their way to
Chicago, where they will establish nm
Algerian village at the Worlds Fair.
They came over in the second cabin.
There were 4G Africans and Arabs, and
the party consisted Of SO men, 10 women
and 8 children. They had a consular
certificate for the whole village.
Tho immigration authorities last
night refused to pass the natives OF
Tunis and Algiers because they did not
have individual certificates Instead OF
permitting them to have tho freedom OF
the city, the officials ordered them to
be taken to Ellis Island this morning,
Then were the impulsive dwellers in
the orient exceeding wroth. There was
weeping and wailing and gnashing OF
teeth. The sheiks and soothsayors
swore vengeance against tne govern.
ment which had committed such q
breach OF courtesy. Finally the man.
ager poured oil uron tho troubled Rpir-
its by telling to them his impressions OF
Chicago, and the dwellers in the shade
OF the sand duns and palm trees wero
comiorted. The party wero dressed in
full native costume.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
A Hotel Clerk cIeyesly Knocks Out Two
WOuId-be Robbers.

NtNAN"bh AAthbpANe
A neatly concocted scheme to rob the
stamm House was cleverly upset yes
terday morning by Joe Zimmer, the
night clerk.
One night last week two strangers
came into the stamm office and asked
Clerk thinner for room, The latter
told them they could be accommodated.
After registering the clerk asked them
If they wished to go to their room,
whereupon one said he would go up,
but the other man said he would retire
later AS the bell boy had gone home,
thinner was entirely alone, and refused
to leave this man in the office and take
the other up stairs, At this the men
became angered and left the house,
Not much was thought OF the occur
renee by Zimmer until about three
o'clock yesterday morning. when one Of
the pair entered the office, registered
and asked to be assigned room. Zim-
mer was doing this when the bell at
the ladies' entrance rang; as one OF the
late trains was behind time he supposed
someone from that train wanted admit.
tance, and went to the door, He opened
it, suspecting nothing, but he instantly
recognized crook number two, who as
soon as the door was open struck
savagely at thinner with short heavy
club, hut the latter avoided the blow,
which fell on the left shoulder. Not
waiting to even close the door, thinner
ran back to the office and found crook
number one behind the office desk
working at the big iron safe. He didn't
have--time to 60 around by the way OF
the gate, but vaulted over and caught
the would-be burglar by the throat,
choked him and then threw him from
behind the desk. BY this time tho
other crook came in to help his pal, and
both jumped on the plucky clerk, who,
however, proved himself more than n
match for both. In the sculfle Zlm-
mer'a coat was nearly torn from his
back. A couple OF right-handers were
enough, and both OF the robbers broke
for the door and ran down Water street.
thinner, who was only getting his
French blood warmed up, sailed out
after them, but they got away

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Makes Statement OF the Financial sItHN-
tion-He CorreCts False Reports.

uon-he Currects raise heports'
WASHINGTON, D, u, April 2S.-To a
representative OF the Associated Press
the President said tonight:
"The indications on the part Of the
public to accept newspaper reports con-
cerning the intentions OF those charged
with the management Of our national
finances seems to justify my emphatic
contradiction OF the statement that the
redemption OF any kind OF treasury
notes except in gold has at any time
been determined upon or contemplated
by the secretary OF the treasury, or any
other member of the present admins
tration. The President and his cabinet
are absolutely harmonious in the de-
termination to exercise every power
conferred upon them to maintain the
public credit, to keep the pub.
lie faith and to preserve the
parity between gold and silver
and between all financial obligations OF
the government. While the law of
1890 forcing the purchase OF q fixed
amount OF silver every month provides
IHut tHe HcSEotaIy VI buo bioHuuEy w uls
discretion may redeem in either gold or
silver the treasury notes given in pay
ment of silver purchases, yet the de-
claration Of the policy OF the govern
ment to maintain the party between
the two metals seem SO clearly to regul-
ate the discretion as TO dictate their
redemption in gold. OF course per.
plexity and difficulties have grown out
OF an unfortunate financial policy which
we found in vogue, and embarrass.
ments have arisen from ill.advised fin.
ancial legislation confronting us at
every turn; but with cheerful conf.
dence among the people and q patriotic
disposition to cooperate, threatening
dangers will be averted pending legis-
lation and return to better and
sounder financial plan. The strong
credit OF the country is still unimpaired
and the good sense Of our people which
has never failed in times OF need, are at
hand to save US from disaster"

AoUIET TOWNS MYSTERY.
Princeton Excited Over the aIutiIatIon Q
John shnnn's Body,


TRENTON, N, j., April 23,-Not since
Pedlar sChoolcraIt was found lying
murdered near Stoney Creek, twelve
years ago, has the staid town Of Prince.
ton been so stirred up as it is over the
mysterious disembowelment Of John
Sham, People gathered about the
streets in groups and talked Of nothing
else, The plain three story yellow frame
house No, 25 Witherspoon, street in
which tho young man lived, was the
center OF attraction.
John Sham was twenty years old and
worked about Princeton college, He
had S2, ,l2l insurance on his lie In favor
Of his mother; $4,000 in the Manhattan
and $l9l in the industrial branch Of tho
Metropolitan OF New York. Six weeks
ago he was taken i'll with what the at.
tending physician called gastrtis and
died on Tuesday morning, His mother
says that while the storm was at its
height about o'clock yesterday morn
ing three men came to her home and
aroused her, She and her eighteen
year-old daughter were sleeping in the
room where the corpse was laid out on
board, The men asked to see the
body; she refused, telling them that her
daughter was asleep in the room. They
said they would not disturbthe girl, and,
thinking they were insurance officials
from what they said, Mrs. Sham al
lowed them to go up.
She started to follow, when ono OF
the men kept her back talking to her
about the dead boy until tho other two
returned, and all went away together
In the morning the discovery was
made that the body had been cut open
and all the intestlnes except one kid
ney taken away. The daughter, who
was asleep in the room all the time, de-
clared that she had heard no noise.
The Mercer county authorities were no.
titled, aud took the body to Trenton,
when o post mortem was held by
County Physician Cantweil aud Dr.
Kelly. The physicians found a portion
OF the bladder besides the kidney and
those, together with a portion OF the
brain and some tissue, were sent to
Philadelphia for analysis.
After the examination the body
was taken back to Princeton. Tha cor.
oner swore in jury, who viewed the
corpse, and then funeral services were
held. Last November Fred, Sham, the
boys father, died under similar circum.
stances. He was heavily insured in
favor of his wife, and he loft her what
property he owned by his will. There
were ugly rumors afoat then as to the
cause Of his death, and to-day there was
talk OF exhuming the body
Mrs. Sham keeps a boarding house
and has several boarders vino arc all
mechanics. None OF them heard any
noise about the house Wednesday night.
A neighbor who lives across the street
says she heard Mrs. Shanns bell ring at
the time Mrs. Sham saya tho men
called, and Policeman Whetley, who
alone guards Princeton after midnight,
says woman turned into Withsrspoon
street about the same time.
Detectives Lane and Delaney, OF the
Mercer county prosecutors Office, were
in Princeton all day, and say they have
gained important evidence, which will
be given at the coroner's inquest Tues.

RoME, April 23,-Early this morning
the streets leading from the Qulrnal to
tho Prussian legation were filled with
persons anxious to sec the emperor Of
Germany on his way to luncheon with
Herr Won Buelow and the high dlgni-
tarIes OF the vatican, Shortly alter
noon the emperor left the Quirinal, He
rode in the Italian court carriave and
responded repeatedly with bows and
smiles to the continuous cheering
which accompanies,
The emperor alighted before the lega-
ton at at 1880 o'clock. Herr Won Bue-
low, Prusiisn minister at tho vatican,
received him at tho entrance and pre-
sented Cardinals Leedochowsky and
MoCennl and Monsignors Segna and
Demontal. Covers were laid for sixteen.
During tho luncheon the emperor was
exceptionally cheeriully. He chatted
with Cardinal Locdochowsky through
out the meal and afterwards continued
the conversation for twenty minutes or
moro.
AT 2 o'clock Empress Augusta Vic
toria arrived at the legation. The pro-
sentation occupied half an hour, and
Immediately after them the emperor,
empress and their suites and Herr
Buelow proceeded in the Prussian court
carriages to the vatican. The vatican
was filled with the high dignitaries OF
the church and ths Representatives OF
the nobility OF Italy. At the door
OF the fellow chamber they were
met by the pope. He led them to
three chairs which had been placed
near the middle OF the room, sat down
with them and conversed with both.
The interview lasted tifty-throe minutes
after the departure OF the empress.
The pope was mora affable than usual,
while the emperor, though amiRble,
seemed somewhat preoCcupied and
nervous.
At the end Of the interview the en-
poror's suite was presented to tbepope.
Upon leaving, the emperor was accom-
panied by tho pope, contrary to tho
etiquette OF the vatican, through the
ante.chamber to the throne room. As
they parted the emperor made move-
ment as to kiss the pope's hand. The
pope quickly withdrew his hand, then
grasped the emperor's and shook 1t
cordially three times.
The emperor joined the empress and
visited with her at st. PEERS and the
treasury. This evening the emperor
and empress worshipped in the chapel
OF the German embassy.
On Saturday evening n bomb was ex-
ploded in front OF q freman's guard
room. Several windows were shattered

itol was damaged. No arrest has been
made.
The jubilee mass composed by DR..
Frank &. Dessert, OF New York, was
sung in st. Peters to-day at the celebra-
ton Of the feast Of the patronage OF st.
Joseph, The choir, assisted by many
singers from other churches, gave
magnificent rendering OF the work.
This is the first time that an American
composer has been thus honored in
Rome.
