case tried before Justice W. A. Kirk has
developed queer story. G. W. Fisher,
formerly Of Wichita, Kan, was arraigned
for threats Of violence against one Mar
shall. According 10 the story, Fisher was
employed last April BY n E. Mcleod, the
Happy Hollow liyeryman, to whom he un-
folded a story Of hidden treasure, knowl-
edge of which he had obtained through a
convict who had escaped from the Kansas
penitentiary. He represented that the

about seveuty-hve miles west Of
this city, saw three Indians

something He discovered that the cave
contained gold and silver ore, and he car
ried enough Of this ore TO Chicago 20 net
him $6O.OOO. While there he was recap
tured and returned 20 the penitentiary
He was afterward pardOned by Governor
Lewelling on condition that he divulge the
whereabouts OF the treasure, but instead
of doing so be escaped 10 Colorado. Later
be died, and on his death-bed revealed the
secret TO the woman who waited on him,
and from her Fisher learned Of the treas

interested aud fitted Fisher out with a kit
and dOnksys TO carry the ore 70 the rail-
road. a distance Of seventy-hve miles, and
Fisher left for the mountains. After
several weeks absence he turned up with
a bag Of sore, which was assayed by Mr..

GONE WRONG.
Brooklyn Bank Touched By an Employs After
the Shoe and Leather Bank Msthod-The
Banks Loss $500.

BRooKLYN, n. Y, December 2.-Justice
Goetting tomorrow will in all probability
be asked to issue warrants for the arrest
of Z. Austin Leitch. former bookkeeper
in the Manufacturers National Bank
at Williamsburg, and Isaac Meag,
who reside in that district.
These two men are implicated in another
bank defalcation, that, in many respects,
is similar to the Shoe and Leather Ma
tional Bank affair The amount in this
instance, however, is small, totalling but
s., 500, which sum the Manufacturers
Bank loses.
Leitch had been employed in that insti-
tuition up TO few months ago, when be
was scharged. 1t was then found that
be had shortage in his accounts to the
amount of several thousand dollars, the
exact amount being ascertalned only yes
terday His methods were, ii is stated by
the bank authorities, similar TO those
adopted by SeeleY, the Shoe and Leather
Bank defaulter.
Meag, it was given out by the same au-
thority tonight, was his accompllce. The
latter entered into an arrangement where
by he was enabled to draw from the bank
amounts far in excess of his deposits.
Shortly after the defalcatiOn was dis
covered President Loughran, OF the Manu-
facturers' Bank, had Leitch brought be-
fore shin, and the result Of careful
cross.examination that followed was that
the latter broke down and confessed his
guilt. President Loughran declared TO-
night that be would press the case against
the two men.

STAND NO CHANCE
The Pop-Suu Bills VIII Hays No Earthly Show
at the Session Of Congress Which Opens To-
daY-A Useless Rs-opsning Of the Agitation
Deprecated.

Special 10 ne Rsyists-.
WASHINGTON, December 2.-As the date
for the meeting Of Congress draws near,
and members and Senators gather into the
capital. the feeling grows stronger that no
further tariff legislation Will be accom-
pGshed 0y the Fifty-third Congress.
Speaker Crisp, whose Judgment on Con-
gressiOnal affairs is unusually good, as his
sources Of information are entirely
reliable. evidently has no expec-
tation that the Senate will
pass any OF the popgun bills which We're
sent 70 il from the House after the general
tariff bill was adopted toward the close Of
the long session. The Speaker knows bet
ter than most men in public life the power
of the forces arranged against the
bill to put iron ore and coal on
the free list and removing the dlt-
ferential duty on refined sugar.
His desire for the enactment of those bills
into law does not deceive him into oeliev-
ing that the Senators who stood IN the
way in the last session will now yield and
let the bills become a law. And ne also
kLOwS that even If all the Democratic
Senators should agree 70 support the pass
age of the bills, this would not
be sufficient. He understands that
the coal, iron and sugar isterests
have even more devoted friends in
the Republican side than elsewhere in the
S.nate. These Republicans, in the last
session. did not find 10 embarrassing 70 show
their hands very plainly. Some Of them
even posed as enemies Of the Sugar Trust,
and affected 70 desire the removal OF the
diderental duty on refined sugar. But II
there should arise real danger Of the re-
moval Of this duty, then these Republicans
would appear IN their true cOlors, and find
means of blocking the proposed legislation
by flibustering or otherwise.
As there can be no mistake about the
practical impOssibility Of getting the pop
GUN bills through the Senate. the feeling
grows that the wisest course for the Dem
Ocrats to take will be not 70 make the at
tempt seriously. OF course, il will be i'm
possible TO prevent Individual Senators
from discussing the bills and making clear
in Justice 10 themselves, their desire for
affirmative action on them. But this can
be done without a general re-opening Of
the tariff discussion, which might have the
effect of again unsett,ing business, now
rapidly recovering from the recent discus
sion
1t is this knowledge that even il the
Democrats of the Senate were united in
favor Of the passage Of the special tariff
bills. the Republicans would 1nbuster to
prevent, which makes many Democrats
incline 70 deprecate a useless reopening Of
the agitation.

Americans at Psking Do Not Stand in Any
Especial Jeopardy at Present. According to
Late RsporS-Francs to Land Troops in Chinl


speeiolto tas Rs5is,--.
WASHINGTON, DC, December 2.--It is
stated positively at the Department Of
State that there is no fresh reason
for apprehension touching the sale
ty of American residents Of Pc
kin, and that United States Minister
DENLY has not made any appeal TO the de-
partmeut for protection since his original
dispatch, sent some time ago, aud referred
10 at the time in the Associated Press dis
patches, in which he stated that should tbs
Japanese troops attack Pefin the safety OF
the foreign residents might be threatened.
and il would DC well 10 send force oil
Uzited States marines 10 protect the
legation AS is customary IN such cases,
this despatch was promptly communicated
TO the Navy Department, and fifty ma
rines were ordered to be transferred from
the other vessels of the American fleet 70
the Monocacv, at Tieu Tsin, near Petin. In
addition Admiral Carpenter was instruct
ed to put himself in communication with
Minister DENLY, and 10 use his discretion
in doing ever ythng necessary 10
ensure the safety OF the Ameri-
can residents. All of this took place some
time ago, and since then Mr.. Denby has
made no further application for protection.
He is at liberty at any time 10 transfer his
legation TO Tien Tsin, where II would be
almost under the guns of the Monocacy,
and in fact he was authorized 70 do this at
a very early stage in the war, when the
Chinese showed symptoms OF disaffection
at the first reverses sustained by their
armies.
The legation would certainly be much
safer, at Tien Tsin than az Peking, as IL Is
impossible for ever the lightdraft Mono
cacy TO navigate the river up to the latter
city at this season of the year. But the
fact that Mr. DENLY, though the means OF
communication are open, has not recently
asked for aid from the department,
is regarded as evidence that he feels no
apprehension at present, and this view is
supported by the cable advlces from Che
Foo 10 the effect that. encouraged by the
prospect Of a restoration of peace, many
of the foreign residents Of Peking. who
had taken refuge in Tien Tsin, were re-
turning 10 Peking.

Peace NsrotIatlon. ProosedInE.

TOXIC. December 2-Peace negotiations
are proceeding. The Minister of Foreign
Affairs has handed TO United States Min
lister Dunn a counter-proposition for trans
mission TO United States Minister Denoy.
Owing 10 the impenetrable secrecy sur
rounding the negotiations it is impossible
at this stage to discover the exact nature
of this counter-proposition, but IL is sup
posed to differ from Minister Denby's
original proposition mainly in respect 70
the amount Of indemnity demanded by
Japan, and in the addition OF certain
rather onerous guarantees for the faithful
execution Of China's pledges.
IL is rumored that one OF these Ruaran-
tees is the continuation Of Japanese occu-
patton of Port Arthur until the treaty con
ditions are fulfilled, but il is apprehended
that such a demand may involve Great
Britain. TO which nation such occupation
