AMERICA GETS THE HOOT.
An English journal Takes a Laugh
at Our National Folly in the Fol-
lowing Article.

The London Financial News, the
leading journal of its class in Eng
land, has this, among other things, to
say regarding the silver situation in
this country:
"Senator Cameron points plain
moral when he remarks that if
the United States would cut
herself from Europe and take
outright to silver, she would have all
America and Asia at her back, and
would command the markets of both
continents. ''he barrier of gold
would be more fatal than any
barrier of custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger
than any bond of free trade
"There can be no doubt about lit
that if the United States were to
adopt a silver basis tomorrow, Brit
ish trade would be ruined before the
year is out. Every Amriecan indus
try would be protected, not only at
home, but in every other market. OF
course the states would suffer to a
certain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold; but
the loss on exchange under this head
would be mere drop in the bucket
compared with the profits to be reap.
ed from the markets of South Amer
lea and Asia, to say nothing of Eu-
rope.
s'The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the OPP
Eorlunity, and but for the belief that
the way of England is necessarily the
way to commercial success and pros
perity, undoubtedly it would have
been done long ago. Now, Ameri-
cans are awakening to the fact that
$50 long as they narrow their ambi-
ton to becoming larger England
they cannot beat us. 1t has been a
piece of luck for us that it has never
before occurred to the Americans to
scoop us out of the worlds markets
by going on silver basis, and it
might serve us right if, irritated by
the contemptuous apathy of our gov
eminent to crafty of the silver pro-
blem, the Americans retaliate by
freezing out gold.
at could easily be done, and pro-
pose shortly to show, by evidence
collected from perfectly nnprejudi-
ced sources. that even now the pro.
cess has begun, and is proceeding
at rate that will astonish most peo.
pie, and probably make this country
regret that it did not at an earlier
stage fashion its monetary policy on
principles of friendliness to other
nations, instead of on short-sighted
selfshness.

JUDGE PHELPS CONDITION.
Special to the Jersey City Nelos.


ENGLEwooD, June 16, 1S94.-Twelve
o'clock There is no perceptible change in
the condition of William Walter Phelps at
this hour. He had a good nights rest,
waking between nine and ten O'Clock this
morning, but not to consciousness. DR.. d.
A. Currie repeats this morning what he has
heretofore said of Mr.. Phelps's condition
That is, that he is suffering from compljca-
ton of diseases, prominent among which is
tubercular meningitis. The doctor also says
that the patient has survived longer than he
expected, but he believes it to be only ques-
tion of few hours when he will pass away
in his unconscious condition.
Last evening Mr.. Phelps recognized his
daughter, the Baroness Won Rottenburg, for
an instant, giving her grasp of the hand
but he dld not utter word, nor did he try
to do so.
Captain John J. Phelps remained at the
bedside of his father all night.
The attacks of hiccoughs, which made
their appearance about ten days ago, con-
tinue, but are less frequent and not SC
severe

PREMIER oRISPI SHOT AT
By cable 10 the United Press.

ROME, June 16, 1S94.-An attempt was
made to assassinate Premier Crispi today as
he was riding in carriage on his way to the
Chamber of Deputies. AS he arrived in the
vicinity of the Chamber at two O'Clock this
afternoon, man approached his carriage
and fired TWO shots at him from revolver.
Both shots missed their mark, but one of
the bullets imbedded itself in the side of the
carriage The man, who was not known
and who refused to identify himself, was
promptly arrested and disarmed.
Signor Crispi maintained the utmost COM
posure and gave no sign that he realized his
danger.
In the Chamber of Deputies after Signor
Crispis arrival, Signor Biancheri, the Dean
OF the Chamber, announced to the Deputies
that an attempt had been made to take the
life of the Premier. The effect of the an
nouncement was to impel the Deputies to
press forward and congratulate the Premier
on his escape and denunciations of the
would-be assassin Were heard on all sides.
The socialists joined in the congratula-
tions which were terminated with tre-
mendous cheer for the Premier. Signor
Crispi thanked the Deputies ina voice quay
ering with emotion and the cheers were re-
newed.
The police are endeavoring to identify
the prisoner, who is undoubtedly an An
archist, and believe shat his act was part of
| plot to remove the Premier, in which
others are interested

BRAsTUs WIMAN IN JAIL.

OF Innocence.

New YORK, June 16, 1S94.-Erastus Wiman
passed g not particularly uncomfortable
night in cell on the ground floor of the
main corridor of the Tombs. Mr.. Wiman
stepped out of his cell and greeted reporter
cordially He looked cheerful. He said: 81
slept we'll enough to make me feel pretty
good this morning, thank you and perhaps
Che reason is that | am tired out after years
OF work, followed by months of worry, and
was able to rest even if my bed was in a
prison cell
''Ihave not seen my lawyers since the ver-
dict was rendered, and do not know what
their course will be. The verdicU was no
great surprise to me, because it seemed to
me that the judge took harsh
view Of the case from the beginning. He
seemed to regard me as guilty from the
start. You can say, if you please, that [
said that if jury of my peers have deter
mined me to be guilty I shall endure my
punishment with composure and resignation.
If it is not to be, too long. | will come
out afterward and start another commercial
agency, and do not feel too old yet to make
a success of it, and thus prove the part that
l filled in the business l have just left.
81 want to say though said Mr.. Wiman
warmly, that am not forger: feel con-
scious that am innocent, and that, l am
sure, is what enables one to accept the in
evitable situation l have been forced into." "
Mr. Wiman was as he conversed opening
his mail and score of kilograms. 1t is un-
likely that any convict in the Tombs ever
before received so many expressions Of sym
pathy and confidence from men and women
of high standing

TWO INTERESTING GRAVES.

With heods facing each other the great
Longfellcw and scarcely less renowned Ten
Brock are taking their final rest in the
soil of the famous Nantura stock farm, in
Woodford county, the home of the Har-
pers. The grave of Ten Brock is sur
rounded with neat fence of palings, paint
ed white and tipped with green at the top.
The grave of Longfellow has not yet been
inclosed Between these two equine Won
ders of the turf rises a handsome marble
shaft which presents four polished sides for
Inscriptions.
Jils johnson and imported Rossington will,
doubtless when their time comes, complete
the quadruple grave. AS yet the marble
shaft contains but one Inscription, and that
recounts the birth, performances and death
of Ten Brock who beat Longfellow to the
tomb AS the visitor, filed with feelings
akin to reverence for the fallen monarcbs,
reads the inscription which bears the records
of the world-lauded Ten Brock, his 'sensi-
bilities are Jared by glaring error which
should never have found place on a monu-
ment to king of the turf. It reads that
Ten Brock was ''felded" at such date, and
then goes on to tell of his brilliant victories

ROCHESTER. NJ Y, June Is, 1894.-An
action asking 81, 600 damages, has been COM
menced by French & Coon, lawyers, against
Charles Drabble for an alleged criminal as
sault committed last Monday upon Miss
Mayme Himple The young woman is a
stenographer and typewrite and was sent by
a friend TO Mr. Drabble's Office in the ELL
wanger & Barry building, to apply for a sit
uation, in answer to an advertisement.
Upon entering the office the girl says Drabble
put his arms about her and drew her up to
him in an improper manner and kissed her.
This liberty was sharply resented and she
escaped from Drabble's embrace and started
for the door, but he got there first and put
ting both arms about her he again drew her
to him. She struggled to get away, but
could not, and he raised her face and again
kissed her. At this insult the girl raised an
outcry and Drabble let her go, following her
to the elevator with requests that she say
nothing about it, etc The young lady, who
is nineteen years of age, went Immediately
to her friend and related her experience
Drabble was forthwith requested to explain
his conduct, but he professed to have no
recollection of the occurrence and the matter
was placed in the hands of attorneys.
Drabble is the manager of the Edison
Phonograph in this city.

FLOGGED THE BOYS.
Hobaken School Teachers
Said to Have Acted in a
Brutal Manner.
STORIES OF EYEWITNESSES
More Than One Teacher Violated
the Law-President Russ
Surprised.

This morning reporter of The JERSEY
CRY NEWS secured positive and indisput-
able evidence that certain of the teachers OF
No. 4 School in Hoboken have INDUCED in
shocking brutality towards their pupils,
The information was given by family OF
the name of Neimeyer, living at No. 2o5
Sixth street, Hoboken, who have witnessed
time and again the punishment OF the schol-
ars by the female teachers.
No. School is on Park avenue, and runs
through a considerable distance, SO that the
side walls of it extend past the rear of tene-
ment houses on Sixth street. 1t was from
the windows of Neimeyer's fiat on the third
floor that the actions of the teachers have
been observed Mr.. Neimeyer told the re-
porter the following story as he sat at the
rear window of his fat this morning over
looking the class rooms of the school house,
MIR. NEIMEYER's STORY.
81 have seen the teachers in three of the
class rooms fog the boys in their charge day
after day with rattans and rules, and some
times using their bare hands. The way in
which they administer the punishment is
painful to see. l have seen the teachers in
the class room on the lower floor, furthest
to the rear of the building, fog the pupils so
hard that they have been almost unable to
stand. | have seen the same teacher use the
rattan in a way never would my own chill
dren. have seen her do this many times.
1.-The teacher iii the room adjoining hers has
done the same, but she is not quite SO severe
as the others. The teacher in the room
oove the first ones has used the rattan and
ruler too a little punishment might not
be bad. perhaps, but the way they do it,
wonder the pupils attend school at all. They
are all boys, the pupils we see, and / do not
know whether or not the girls are punished
ina similar way"
THE STORY CoRRoBoRATED.
Mrs. Neimeyer had witnessed the teachers
methods of discipline also and corroborated
her husbands allegations
':If the School Board intends investigating
this conduct of the teachers, will tell them
the same as [ have you. 1t should be inves-
tigated. 1t is q shame to have such teachers
in our schools / do not know the names of
the teachers, but can identify them, think.
| can point out the one on the lower floor, to
whom make particular reference. She is
short of stature and has dark hair"
The reporter ascertained the name of that
teacher, which is withheld by request of
President Russ of the Board of Education
Mrs NeimeyeF's little daughter had seen,
she said, one little pupil hit SO hard with a
rattan that his hands bled from it. She did
not know his name.
PRESIDENT RUSS ASToNIsHED.
President Russ was seen by the reporter
and said he would Immediately investigate
the story He was astonished at the in
formation and said Principal Muosgrave had
never reported it to him.
