DORE, THE KING.
NOTORIOUS sWINDLER IS NOW EN-
ROUTE TO BOSTON.
Guilty of Nearly Every Fraud That
Was Ever Heard of-HIgh and
Low, Rich and Poor Suffered.


San Francisco, Dec. 11.-Chief Watts ,
of the Boston detective department,
and Andrew Houghton, inspector of
police of Boston, who came to the Pa
cific coast about a week ago, have TAX
en- with them TO Boston John f. Dore,
known as the king Of swindlers. For
the past five years he has practiced
law in Seattle, and is wanted in Bos-
ton for forgeries and embezZlement
committed prior to 1889. IN February
of that year he uttered a forged Sc
curity bond for $4,000 and when re-
leased or bail supplied by his brother
in-law, James Maloney, Immediately
skipped. Then his past record came
out. He had forged orders on savings
banks in which poor people had their
savings. Eight indictments are out
against him for these offenses. Dore
located in Miles City, Dakota, in 1889.
By his suave manners he secured the
confidence of the community, which
was shaken when ne disappeared after
swindling the sisters of a religious in
stitution out ,,e 81 60. In Seattle a
number of clergymen and women
trusted Dore with money which they
never recovered.
The narration of his subsequent
crimes would fill a volume. He was
employed, it is said. by the notorious
Hammond, of London fame, or infamy
rather, to collect the sums due him
from members of the aristocracy
whose immunity from prosecution de-
pended on keeping him (dammond)
out of England. Fairfield proved a
splendid collector, but he kept the
money, it is claimed, and, the matter
being scandalous, Hammond had no
redress

That Is How Banker Settlers Failure

St Louis, Dec. i1.-Attorney Mar
shall Weir, the assignee of Henry
Setter, the Lebanon, H., banker, poll
tician and farmer, said today that it
would be several days before he could
make a statement as to the affairs of
Mr.. Setter. Bank officers, county Off
cials, lawyers, and men in a position
to know, many of whom are losers of
considerable amounts by reason of the
assignment, pronounce the failure the
most disastrous and complete that ever
occurred in St. Clair county. From all
that can be learned from responsible
citizens at Belleville, ILL.,, the habili-
ties of Setter viii be somewhere be-
tween 100000 and 100000, but what
the assets amount to, no one seems to
know. 1t is estimated thai citizens OF
Lebanon and vicinity are out $10O 900
by the closing of the bank there. Adj
5ninistrators of various estates had
from 81, 500 to 1000 in the bank at the
time it closed, and a number of small
business men and farmers are said to
be seriously affected.
The school treaSurerS and other
township officers are said to have kept
their funds in the bank. For many
wears Rufus n. Ramsey, of Carlyle,
M the late state treasurer, who died
so lsnexpectedly last month, and Henry
Setter were interested in various bust
ness enterprises. 1t is now stated that
The estate of Mr.. Ramsey is involved
by his friends failure and would not
PAL. over 25 cents on the dollar, although
at the time of his death he was thought
to be worth at least 100000.
The death of Ramsey appears to have
caused the final collapse Of Setter.

London, Dec. 1.-THE Daily News to-
day publishes three-column letter
from Constantinople. The writer says
from all the evidence he has been able
to gather in regard to the number killed
and the villages destroyed, the Ar
menian outrages cannot be compared
with those of Bulgaria. The Kurds be-
lieve the government approves of the
outrage, and unless they are dealt with
as a Canadian or American would deal
with the red Indians under similar cir
cumstances, they are incapable OF
understanding to the contrary. If
Great Britain and Russia jointly insist
on reforms, there will be a chance of
success, because in case of need they
can compel attention.

David Holmes, OF Burnley, England,
chairman of the parliamentary COM

has recently grown rapidly on the sub
ject, and textile workers and others
are cooperating with the binetaflic

British government with the financial

the great advantage Of the creditor

badly enough, but neither Secretary

Shall we have an extra session.

In regard to the necessity Of adhering
to the colonial policy. the chancellor
referred to the position Of Germany
creating fresh markets throughout
other colonies. Moreover, the colonial
policy was a material factor of the pol
icy of German unity in strengthening
family feeling.
With reference to the socialist agi-
tations. the chancellor spoke of the
dangers threatening the vital nerve of
the state, which danger would be
warded off not by exceptional laws,
but by Strengthening the provisions Of

The hour Of 2 o'clock having ar

Mr.. Dolph Republican), Of Oregon, adj

Mr.. Dolph said the people of the Pa
'cific coast were a unit in favor of the
BILL and discussed the advantages
which the canal would bring to the
whole country. The canal, if owned
and controlled by the United States
would be of great service in war time.
In that event Lake Nicaragua could
be so utilized by the navy as to soon

ed out that the only provision OF the
bill that he was not entirely
satisfied with was the amount to be
paid to the Maritime company, which
he thought was entitled only to the
amount OF MONEY expended in the
thus far. He wanted the bill
OF all doubtful provisions in
this respect, and to have refunded to
the company all expenditures made by
1t. Having paid that, the government
could proceed to work constructing
without interference by the company.
The presiding officer laid before the
Senate a letter from the president
correspondence relative to
the Armenian massacre; also some cor
regarding the Mora claim.
