GROVE THE SWINDLER
Operations of a Smooth Negro
Confidence Man.
Among His Own Race He Cut a
Wide SWath and Found Many
Victims.

DENVER, Aug. 12.-Many colored citi-
zens of this city are anxiously looking for
Charles P. Grove. alias "Blue Dick" alias
the ''Four-time Millionaire" one of their
own race. Grove, while here. posed as
president of the Montana and Illinois Min
ing and Milling Company. and armed with
plots, plans and deeds. succeeded in sell
ing a number of town lots and mining
claims in and about Grove City, supposed
to be not far from Butte. Mont.
Grove is said to have started on his career
by selling shares in the Gold Leaf Mining
Company, greatly to his own profit, but
not to the profit of the company. Then he
made a tour of Eastern and Southern
cities, and by wearing fine clothes, talking
smoothly and working upon the credulity
of the colored people made lots of money
His most profitable fields were Lexing-
ton, KY, and Chicago. At Lexington he
won the affections of the daughter of a
wealthy colored man. The father of the
bride. learning of Groves true character,
wrote his daughter telling her to come
home. which she did.
Grove tried 20 operate in Washington,
ID. c., but was prevented from doing any
great damage by threats of exposure by
Montana people, who knew about his pre-
tentions
1t is supposed that Grove does not pos
sess patent of any Of the land claimed
by him, and some of the claims have been
jumped by miners A number Of coored
people have gone to Grove City from East
ern ana Southern cities. only to find that
they had purchased worthless pieces of
paper, and some of them suffered grea: de-
nrivation

been freely spent in Washington by the

newspaper that has zeaIouslg supported

Congressman Conn's paper says: ."The

"China wants this treaty. She has spent
money right here in Washington to get it
through. She has employed titled lob
byist to push her claims, and has even
gone to the extent Of maintaining an
agency for the dissemination Of properly
worded newspaper comment.
THE treaty may be all right. There can
scarcely be harm in the establis hment Of
friendly relations with a great Govern

rather than national advantages are to be
gained.

THEY DENoUNcE dORMAN.
Resolutions Adopted by Maryland
Tariff Reformers.

BELLAIRE, Nd. Aug. 12.-Tbe tariff re-
form meeting of Hartford County Demo-
Gratis presented the following resolutions:
Resolved. first, that we cordially reiterate our
Endorsement of the Democratic national plat
form of 1892 and the efforts of our incorrupti-
BILE President and the National House OF Rep
resentatives to formulate into legal enactment
by the Wilson bill its promises and provisions.
Second that in the name Of the Democr ats OF
the country we repudate and condemn the OBJ
structive and traitorous action OF our Sena-
tors from Maryland, who grossly misrepresent
their constituency at the behest OF the sugar
trust and other combines.
Third, that Senator Germans aspersions OF
President Cleveland and his patriotic course
merits and receives unqualified condemnation.
Fourth. that il is only consistent with the ac-
ton of a Senator who has published to the
world his peregrinations through the filth and
mire OF politics that he should no longer con-
sent to occupy the position he has sou ght to
prostitute by his renegade action. cons cious as
as he may be that h. has betrayed the party
which elevated him TO Ii.

bill or take such other action as il desired.
In any event the House confereeS felt
here would be nothing lost by waiting
for the Senate to show what it intended
to do. AS yet. they say, the Hill resolu-
tion and similar moves in the Senate are
merely menaces, and it is we'll enough to
wait 10 see if they become accomplished
facts.
Meanwhile the Senate is acquiscent and
disposed to remain in activity until the
House shall have had an opportunity to
express itself upon the situation. There
is undoubtedly a desire on the part OF the
large majority of Democratic Senators,
practically all of them, unless 1t may be
the Louisiana Senators, TO have the House
take possession of the pill. This Is due TO
the general belief in the Senate that the
House will accept the Senate amendments
and the bill will thus become law. ana
they fear if the bill should thus go to the
Senate it will be postponed. On the other
hand it is believed if the House should
agree to the Senate amendments the Senate
would acquiesce in this action and waive
the technical question which might be
raised over the disposition of the bill.
1t is understood Senator Hill, notwith-
standing his opposition TO the bill, would
be disposed to accept the favorable action
of the House and permit the bill to 60 to
the President without raising any parlia-
mentary questions. The bill has had its
day in court, having gone to the calendar
and could not De taken up except upon
vote of the Senate. 1t is also suggested
without the actual possession of the bill,
an indefinite postponement would be or
dered. and the only means by which the
Senate could secure possession would be
through a motion to reconsider its action.
granting conference aud then to ask to
return the bill.
There would be two difficulties in the
way of this plan. Reconsideration could
not in view of the lapse OF time since the
granting of the conference be had. except
by unanimous consent, and even with this
secured and the request made upon the
House, the return of the bill would depend
upon the courtesy Of that body. 1t would.
therefore, seem the Senate can do nothing
with reference to the tariff at its present
stage.
