OMAHA CNeb.), June "a special to

The impeached officials have been REIN

Supreme Court, by vote of two to one,
declared that Secretary of State Allen.
Attorney General Hastings and Com
missioner of Public Lands and Buildings
Humphrey were innocent of the charges
brought against them by the Legislature.
Chief Justice Maxwell was the dissenter.
He held that the three men were guilty of
mlsdemeanors in Office, and should be
forever debarred from holding positions
Of trust III the public service. But
Judges Post and Noval, in their opinions,
acquitted the accused of any intention of
wrong doing and thus restored them to
their Office.
The opinion is very lengthy. Judge
Maxwell in his dissent finds that "The
charges are well taken, and should be
sustained. | therefore vote guilty as
charged. / find that the result Of the de-
cision if adhered to will be to open the
door to the grossest frauds i'll public in
situations Of the State. A number of wit
nesses for the State testified as if under
constraint, and there seemed to be power
full influences affecting some of them,
aside from immediate friends of the re-
spondents at work in their favor. The
respondents are, of course, not response
bic for these influences, but it is my duty

there is very fair prospect of their doing
this. Any new law formulated by them
would undoubtedly be approved by all
the nations interested. Even if they
should decide against US they will prob
ably devise some means, such as closed
season, for instance, by which seals can
be protected and preserved. The argu-
ments will soon be finished and then con-
sideration will begin. If there should be
a disagreement, time would have to be
granted for the preparation of a minority
report or further information might be
called for. For these reasons a decision
can hardly be rendered for several weeks

merits of the financial policy which
obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion
with gold taken from our reserves. One
does not need the eye of financier to see
that this gold, thus subtracted
from the Governments stock, is
eagerly seized by other nations for the
purpose OF strengthening their credit at
our expense. 1t does not need the art of
craftsmanship to detect the danger that
awaits upon continuance of this opera
ton. Already the timidity of capital is
painfully apparent, and none of US can
fail to see that fear and apprehension in
monetary circles will ultimately bring
suffering to every humble home in our
land. think between now and the meet
ing Of Congress much depends upon the
action of those engaged in financial oper-
atoms and business enterprises. Our
vast national resources and credit are
abundantly sufficient TO justify them in
the utmost faith and confidence, if in
stead OF being frightened they are con-
servative, and If, instead of gloomily an
ucipating immediate disaster, they will
perform a patriotic duty, and at the same
time protect their own interest. The
things just now needed are GOODNESS and
calmness in financial circles, and study
and reflection among our people,"

Sptttdl 10 Lut INhNOhb-O NUN
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Treasury
Department for some time has believed
that Chinese were using atfidavits of au-
Identification for illegitimate purposes.
Some taken out here were sent abroad
and sold to Cinnamon; in other cases
Cinnamon would dispose of them after
reaching China, and in both cases the law
was violated. Under the law Chinese
merchants who desire to leave this coun-
try to visit China heretofore have been
furnished with papers, which when in
dOrsed by the United States Consul at
the port of debarkation entities them to
re-enter the United States.
Acting Secretary Hamlin thinks the
abuse should be stopped and has adj
dressed the Collector at Boston the fol-
lowing letter on the subject: Under date
of April 10Th last the United States Con-
sui at Hongkong transmitted to the De-
partment of State affidavits submitted to
him for authorization, and which ap-
peared to have been issued at your
port on September 5, 1892, and Febru-
airy 4, 1898, over the signature of
Deputy Collector J. /. Swift to zee Sing
huQ I &c N1Olb lpy res Stllh 6l y, dllES Gtl
To be Chinese persons residing in Boston,
who left the United States with the in-
tcntion of returning thereto. The Con-
sui declined to indorse said documents,
for the reason that it was evident the per-
sons presenting the same had never been
III the United States, as was shown by
their inability to answer any questions
relating to this country, Notwithstanding
the fact that the atfidayits stated that they
resided here a number of years. II is
evident the persons presenting the af1i-
davits are not those to whom they were
issued at Boston. In view of the misuse
Of papers thus prepared in the United
States, the department IS of the opinion
that it is not advisable for Collectors OF
Customs or their deputies to certify the
same, and you are requested to give the
necessary instructions to discontinue the
practice at your port
The State Department will not prob
ably interfere in the case of the steam
ship Danube, at Portland, Or, where the
Captain appealed to the British Legation
for relief from the order of the court
which required him to bring $50 Chinese
passengers before the court to answer
habeas corpus. The Captain was willing
the Chinese should answer, but feared to
assume the heavy responsibility of pre-
venting the escape of Cinnamon when
once ashore. Sir Julian Pauncefote,
British ambassador, was at the State De-
partment to-day, probably to present the
case to Secretary Gresham. 1t is believed
at the department that there will be no
difficulty in complying technically with
the order of the court, while avoiding the
possibility of the escape of the Chinese.
This could be done if the Marshal served
his writs on board the vessel and left a
deputy aboard in charge of the Chinese
until the court passed upon the cases.

LITTLE Rock, June ga special to
the Gazette from BentOnville, Ark, says:
This town was thrown into the widest
excitement at 3 O'clock this afternoon by
band of six robbers rushing in, and,
with drawn Winchesters, robbing the
Peoples Bank of all the gold and cur
rency. amounting to about $4,000. They
came into town by back alley, and left
one of their number to hold their horses
while three went to the bank, and, at the
point of the guns, compelled the cashier
to shell out the cash. Two stood guard
at the door and fired into the street at
every man who showed his head.
The citizens, however, as soon as pos
sible, got what arms they could and COM
menced fusillade on the robbers, finally
wounding two of them, but to what ex-
tent is not known. Three citizens were
wounded in the fight-George J. jack
son, slight wound in head; Tom Baker
slight wound in the chin; Taylor Stone,
shot in the groin and may die.
When the robbers left they compelled
some OF the bank officials to go before
and behind them in order 10 protect them
from the citizens. The Sheriff, with a
posse, started IN pursuit Immediately,
and at last accounts was only quarter of
a mile behind them. 1t is expected that
they will be captured, but it is not prOba-
BILE they will give up without hard fight
ing. 1t is supposed they are making for
Indian Territory, as they are travelling in
that direction.
Another special from Rogers, Ark,
says a skirmish between the Sheriff S
posse and the bandits took place about
four miles west of Bentonville, but gives
no particulars.

Americas Great TragedIan Nearing
His End.
NEW York, June 5.-Booth's physician
issued bulletin this morning, saying:
Il have seen no improvement during the
night" The doctor, in response to ques-
tons, repeats the statements in last
nights bulletins that Booth is growing
weaker, and there is no hope of even par
tai recovery. His condition is now very
critical. The doctor remained with him
all night, and Will return as soon as posi-
BILE to-day. The patients relapse took
place Saturday, when an exhausting fit Of
coughing threatened to suffocate him. He
has been growing weaker since. In the
early part of last night the patient seemed
to suffer greatly for air. About A. NJ.
he fell into a troubled slumber which
lasted most of the night. Booths son-in-
law said this afternoon that the actor was
rapidly sinking, and probably will last
but a short time.
During the afternoon Joseph Jefferson
called on the dying tragedian, and stood
at his bedside for fifteen minutes. 1t is
doubtful, however, if Mr.. Booth recog-
nized who it was. Jefferson was affected
to tears as he saw the wasted figure OF his
old friend.

General News Ideas of the Cause of
the Gold Stringency.
WASHINGTON, June 5.--General John
C. New, late Consul General at London,
speaking in regard to the financial situa-
ton, said to-day: Il have no knowledge
of the policy of the Administration, but it
ought to occur to anybody that the gold
stringency is due to the policy of pur-
chasing silver bullion and paying gold
for it, for the issuing of silver certificates
amounts to the payment direct of gold
for silver. The inevitable result of such
policy, if pursued, must be the placing
of the United States on a silver basis. In
Great Britain there is considerable I'M
rest in financial circles, and tluctuation
IN prices in all kinds of securities. This
Is due to an over-production, participa-
ton in different kinds of promotive
schemes and other local causes, and also
to bank failures in Australia, which, as
everybody knows, directly affect the
financial situation in Great Britain"
One million dollars in gold has been
withdrawn from the Sub-Treasury in
New York for export tomorrow. This
leaves the net gold in the Treasury $780,
344, 800.
a gentleman who is in a position to
know something about the financial poll
icy of the Administration said to a re-
porter to-day that his understanding was
that Carlisle would go on using the gold
reserve until it is much further reduced,
and rely upon Congress in extra session
to relieve the situation.
WILL CONTINUE To PAY OUT GOLD.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Following is
from an inside source and bears directly
on the action of the Cabinet tomorrow:
"The Government does not mediate any
action looking to an increase in the gold
reserve. The Treasury will continue to
pay out gold as now until Congress meets,
and the burden of taking action on the
matter will be placed upon Congress-"

ST.. PAUL, June 5.-This afternoon Hon.
P. II. Kelly called the second Inter-
national Reciprocity Convention to order
here, with between 300 and 400 delegates
present. AS many more are expected by
tomorrow. The promoters of the con-
vention seek to avoid the appearance of
any political bias i'll their deliberations,
the object being purely commercial. The
call for the convention recites the adj
vantage of reciprocity with Canada for
both countries. and the material develop
ment and mutual advantageto be derived
from a deep waterway to the ocean from
Lake Superior.
Kelly introduced Ex-Governor Burke
of Dakota as Chairman, he having been
chosen at the last convention. He made
a brief address touching the question to
be considered.
Mayor Wright welcomed the delegates
to the city.
After the appointment of committees
and a few brief talks on reciprocity, the
convention adjourned till tomorrow

visitors.
1t is Denmark's day in the White CITY.
Beside opening it's exhibit in the manu-
iacturers' building there were addresses
anu musical programme in the Festival
Hall.
AT the fair to-day portion of five tons
OF dlamondiferous clay, brought from the
oouth African diamond fields, was put
into crusher. When ground into fine
pieces the water was turned on, clearing
away all except the hard globules con-
tanning the gems. These were sorted out
oy the Zulus and afterward cut.
Individual exhibits made by Queen
Victoria and Queen Margherita of Italy
were brought to the fair to-day. They
have been i'll the Safety Deposit building.
on account of their value and the heavy
bonds required for their safety. This
morning they were loaded on truck
and, under a heavy police guard, trans
ported to the grounds. They were re-
celved at the Administration building by
the chief officers with due ceremony.
Then Queen Margherita's exhibit, consist
ing mostly of rare old laces, was taken
to the women's building for exhibition,
and Queen Nictoria's exhibit, consisting
chiefly Of rare tapestries, to the fine
arts building. In each case bond Of
100000 was given for the safe return of
the exhibits. When the boxes contain
ing Queen Margheritas exhibits were
| taken into the woman's building, Count
Di Brazza, whose wife was appointed
| custodian, refused to allow them to be
opened, as his wife was i'll and had gone
out of the city. Her return is uncertain,
and in her absence the Count absolutely
refused to allow the precious exhibit TO
| be displayed. Mrs. Potter Palmer and
Sonora Marietta, Secretary of the Span
ish Ladies' Board, pleaded with him for
a long time, but in vain. Sonora Marietta
was so chagrined that she declared she
would resign.
The attendance at the fair to-day was
about $4,000. The weather was uncom-
tortably warm most of the day.
| The quaint exhibit of Japan in the fine
arts building was opened this afternoon,
and reception given to invited guests
from to 5. The exhibit is a charming
one, and arranged in a most tasteful

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
Los ANGELES, June ). About two
weeks Sigmund Micheld, about Is years
of age, went into Springtree's drug store
and called for some poison. He stated
he wanted it for the purpose of commit
ting suicide. The druggist took interest
i'll the young man, and reported the Incl
dent to a prominent member of the
Hebrew Benevolent Society.
Micheld stated that he had been in this
country about two years, and that he had
just been discharged from the Stockton
Insane Asylum. where he was sent from
San Francisco. He had his discharge
paper to back up his statement.
Before being sent to the asylum he
claimed that he had pawned his trunk in
San Francisco, containing all his ward
robe, besides a diamond ring and some
other jewelry, for which he had received
S%9. Since coming out OF the asylum he
has been unable to procure employment,
and as the time was nearly cut for re-
deeming his things, and being without
money and relatives in this country to
assist him, he had become Respondent and
wished to put an end to his troubles.
The money to redeem the young mans
worldly possessions was forthcoming,
and when the trunk arrived here Micheld
was requested to inspect it's contents in
the presence of the Chief of Police The
trunk was not only well stocked with
fine clothing, but contained S235 in
money and two ladies' gold watches.
When questioned as to the money,
Micheld said it had been given to him by
his uncle before leaving the old country
in trust for niece, who was living some
where in this country, and he did not
consider he had any right to use it.
When Micheld first gave the story of
the trunk he stated that his jewelry con-
sisted of merely one diamond, a pair of
rings and gold watch and chain. The
Chief continued his investigation, and
learned that the young man had visited
Ventura, where he attempted to throw
himself in front of a moving train. He
gave the same story, and was given $40
by sympathizers.
At San Diego he attempted to commit
suicide by throwing himself off the dock,
but, as usual, was prevented in the nick
of time. His story was told and sympa-
thizing believers there raised a purse of
$40.
Micheld speaks several languages and
IS of refined appearance. At present
there is no ground upon which to prose-
cute him criminally. He never asked
for cent, but merely told his story.

Probability of Cheaper Worlds Fair
Rates in the Near Future.
CHICAGO, June 5. - The opinion is
steadily gaining ground among railroad
men that they have put their Worlds
Fair rates too high, and unless they
lower them will stand chance Of losing
money. Letters by the hundreds are
pouring in upon them on this subject,
and it looks likely that there will be a
change before long. The meeting of the
Western Passenger Association was har-
monious to-day, and the adoption of an
agreement will probably be settled, if the
terms of the Atchison are agreed to. 1t
wants the Colorado roads to come into the
association, a plan for cheap excursions
to the Worlds Fair and definite arrange
ments for a redemption Of tickets. A
committee is now working on these mat
tiers.
