Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 27.-The grand
jury here has been investigating a
deliberate scheme to defraud the Ma
tionaI Bank of Commerce out of $780,
OOO and it is known that two indict-
ments have been returned.
The. fraud, which has caught the
banks in several commercial centers
of the United States, was brought to
light by the Kansas City ramifications.
Its extent, as far as traced, is between
$4,000 and $250,0OO, with all the de-
tails not yet ascertained. The parties
against whom indictments were found
are ]. H. Bemis and one of his sons,
both of the lumber firm of j. H.
Bemis & Co., Jefferson, Texas. Banks
in Connecticut, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kansas, Nebraska, and Illinois are
known to have been defrauded, and the
full extent of the fraud is not yet
known.
In Kansas City, the National Bank
of Commerce was caught for 100000.
The manner in which the swindle was
perpetrated was not complicated. The
Jefferson City firm would draw drafts
on other business concerns which
Bemis controlled but which it was not
known he controlled. In other words,
Bemis and son would draw drafts
on themselves, due principally in thirty,
sixty and ninety days respectively.
The firm on which the draft was drawn
would accept it. The draft was drawn
so as to make the amount in odd dol
lars and cents for the purpose of Civ
ling it the appearance of a draft drawn
flor the sale or purchase of lumber in
the ordinary course of business, and
not of an accommodation draft These
drafts were issued several months ago
when the firms had good credit, but
were really in failing circumstances
The next step was to go to the banks
and, under false representations, get
the drafts cashed. About the time the
drafts came due, the firms failed. The
| fact that the drafts were time drafts
! and not sight drafts, prevented the
attaching of the bills of lading to the
drafts, as is usually done in the case
of a sight. draft. Among the banks
which got some of this bad paper were
those in Dallas, Galveston, Houston
Memphis, Chicago, Atchison, St Louis
Omaha, and some in Connecticut by
lrediScounting the western banks pa
per. 1t is also stated that some found
its way to Boston.
At a late hour tonight the attorneys
for the Bank of Commerce state the
| frauds committed by Bemis and his
son will reach $780, 900. It is now known
several other banks of this city ,includ-
| ing the First National were also
caught, but to what extent is not
known.

BENHAM WILL SETTLE 1T.
Now Positively Announced That He
VIII Act as MediatOr.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 27.-Advices from
the Associated Press correspondent at
Rio de Janeiro announce that in all
probability Rear Admiral Benham, in
command of the United States war YES
sells there, has after communicating
with the home government, succeeded
in arranging peace between the gov
eminent and the insurgents and that
the rebellion is likely to end
1t is reported that a. the close of the
interview between Da Cana and Adj
miral Benham, the latter gave assur-
ance that he would ask from Washing
ton the necessary authority to act as
a mediator Benham communicated
Gamas request to Peixoto, who ex-
pressed his willingness to promote eff
forts toward peace.
Benham is said to have received from
Washington authority to act as medi-
ator and so notified Cana and Peixoto.
Accordingly, Peixoto sent his secretary
on board the United States flagship.
where he met Cana and the stipula-
ton was discussed in the presence of
Benham. The result of the conference
is not known, but it is believed an ex-
change of views will lead to the res
toration of peace.
Cana is said to have made proposals
too favorable to the insurgents and the
secretary said he did not believe Peix-
OTTO would be able to accept them.
1t is believed Benham will be able to
obtain concessions which will result in
an early settlement. Benham has
cabled the substance of the conference
to Washington, and awaits additional
advices.

Twelve deputies are at the Robbins
mines at Mcdonald, and another squad
has been dispatched to the Ridgeway
mines in the vicinity of Bridgeville.
The sheriff had calls this evening by
wire for immediate protection at the
points named. Still another message
has been received from Canonsburg, the
operator there fearing a. raid on the
works, and another force Of deputies
will probably be sent there.
A Mcdonald, Pa, dispatch says: AS
a precautionary measure at the Rob
bins mines the sheriff has been called
on to send deputies to protect the works.
There is feeling of insecurity fully
warranted by the situation The strik-
ing miners, particularly the foreign
born classes, are restless and ugly and

collision between individuals Icay re-
suit in an explosion that will involve
a multitude. The fact is the men are
in a dreadful plight, owing to the low

ing the respect for the law that gov
ems the native element, the pinch OF
poverty has made them desperate.
There is much apprehension of serious
times coming.

WORK OF A FOREIGN MOB.
A Wave of Anarchy Sweeps over
the Mansfield Coal Region.

Pittsburg, Jan PA wave of an
srchy, in whose train followed blood
shed, arson and destruction of prop
erty passed over the Mansfield coal
region today. 1t began at dawn, and
at dusk it was estimated that $3.50, 900
worth of property had been destroyed,
Maddened by fancied grievances and
lhquor, a mob of several hundred for
eigners-Hungarians Slavs and Italians
swept over the country surrounding
Mansfield and through the valleys of
Teens and Painters Run, attacked
mine-owners, miners and the few scat
tered deputy sheriffs, wrecked cars and
destroyed railroad property.
Until noon the mob met with hardly
any resistance, when it reached the
mines of Beading Brothers, near Fed
eral, on the Pittsburg, CHARTERS &
Youghiogheny railroad Here the riot
ers met determined resistance and were
checked. With repeating Winchester
rifles, Thomas F. Williams and Harry
Beading stood their ground and op-
ened fire upon the mob. They fired
four volleys in quick succession, fatally
woundng enc and injuring half a
dozen others. The man fatally wound
ed was Frank Stable, a Frenchman
He was shot through the body and is
probably dead before this. After the
fourth volley the rioters fed precfpi-
lately down the hill.
At this moment, train bearing Sher-
lift Richards and forty deputies pulled
Into Beading and the officers started
| in pursuit of the rioters, firing as they
ran. The chase was a long and hot
one, but finally sixteen We're overtaken
| and captured, and were marched to the
Mansfield jail at the point of revolvers
AS a matter of precaution, the p1is-
oners were brought to this city and
| are now safely lodged in the county
jail. They will be held for riot and
arson.
Tonight everything is quiet. A
force of deputies is on guard at every
mine in the district and no more
trouble is apprehended before Mon
| day.
Another outbreak is anticipated then,
as it was learned at yesterdays meet
ing at Mansfield it was decided that if
the men now at work refuse to join
the strike by Monday all tipples in
operation will be burned
| Nearly 1000 miners, all foreigners, at
| tended the meeting and in their
speeches it was declared that all min
ers in the district will be compelled
to quit work.
| five deputies on duty, and is securing
others as rapidly as he can obtain
them. By tomorrow night he ex-
pests to have 200 armed and equipped
for any emergency.
The citizens of Mansfield, Bridge
vile and Woodville are also organ
izing, and if another outbreak should
occur there is little doubt the mob
would be quickly dispersed.
! Trouble is feared in Washington dis
trict. A dispatch tonight says: The
outbreak among the miners in the
Mansfield neighborhood has excited
the foreign element among the miners
| in the Mcdonald and Ridgeway Sec
tons, and violent demonstrations are
feared. The energetic measures that
have quoted the lawless class in the
uprising today have had an effect on
| imitators in the other districts named.
