The face of the draft examined under
glass showed the line drawn after the
written words thirty three" had been
erased with acids and the word hundred
inserted.
What made the swindle more easily
put through was that Harper, or Hen.
derson. for he had Offices in different
parts Of Chicago under these names,
was a depositor in the American Trust
and Savings bank, and the raised draft
was deposited to his credit in the insti-
tuition. The banks in Chicago. or at
least number of them. make up their
accounts with out-of-town banks once
or twice month, so that Harper i'm
agined he would have week or so to
play his game before the swindle was
discovered. The First National bank of
this city. however. as previously stated.
receives adviceS daily as to the drafts
paid by It's Chicago correspondent, the
Continental bank. and by this means the
affair was discovered. The Continental
bank, however. does not quit any loser,
as Harper, under the impression that
the Swindle would not be discovered tor
several days, still had on deposit 81, 200
at the American Trust and Savings
bank, and this amount was at once
nailed by the Continental bank officials
to protect them. 1t is claimed in Chicago
that number of the banking institu-
tons there have been caught by the
same kind of raised drafts, and all that
the paper used by the swindlers was
purchased in 81. Paul, and after reach
ing Chicago was raised so that 100 for 1
was paid by the banks handling drafts.
A call at several of the local banks
yesterday afternoon showed that. so far
as the officials knew. they had not
issued drafts on Chicago to Frank Ii.
Harper. although it was possible drafts
might have Eeen purchased by the
swindlers under other names. The eX-
tent of the operations will not be def
nltely known until all the drafts handled
by Harper in Chicago have been eX-
amined. In no case. however, will the
st. Paul banks be responsible Tor any
of the money paid by the Chicago banks
to Harper or his confederates on raised
drafts. the loss falling on the banks
which allow the paper to pass them

TORREY's AMUSING STAND.
A Judge Flies in the Supreme
Courts Face,

MANKATo, Mimi, Feb. H.. - Mrs.
Bernhard was released from the insane
asylum at st. Peter yesterday, and
brought home to this city by her hus-
band, who had been notified to come
and take her, owing to the law being
unconstitutional. Mr.. Bernhardt APP
piled to Judge Torrey this morning to
have his wife recommitted under the
old law. But the judge holds that if the
new law is unconstitutional there is no
law. and declined to take action at pres
ent. He said:
"If the supreme court made blunder
in declaring the new law unconstitu-
tional that does not affect the law by
any means, and ii make any examina-
ton ii will be under the new law. The
new law is constitutional. no matter
what the supreme court may say"
Judge Torrey's stand causes amuse-
ment among the attorneys, but he will
not recede. In the meantime the in
sane are allowed to go free in this
county.

more enjoyable trip ha seldom

Norrish. OBrien and Hall, of the
board of prison managers. As soCn as
wraps had been removed they were
uShered into the cell room. and here
began general tour of observation.
Every department was visited. and it
was altogether pleasing to see how well
the visit was enjoyed, especially by
those who had never been inside the
gates before. The party separated
in small squads and were piloted about
the institution and shops by the
officials and brother editors. Nearly all
visited the solitary and hospital, and
were surprised at the manner in which
these two departments are kept. Squads
visited the binding twine factory, and
good share OF the forenoon was spent
there. They watched the process of
manufacturing Irvine with no little in
terest, and the editors complimented
the warden and board of managers
highly OH the thorough system of disci-
pline which was noticed here better
N art of
tion., At about ii o'clock Steward Ben
ner announced that dinner was ready,
and part of the guests were escorted
to the dining rooms, where an excellent
dinner was served. Nearly all had
partaken of good square meal before
time for the convicts to quit work, and
when the word was given that the con-
victs would march i'll, all hurried back
into the cell rOum to see them
come in. They next visited the
prisoners dining rooms, where
they watched the convicts eat
their dinner. The gentlemen of the
party next called on Warden Wolfer's
office, where cigars were passed
around. and while they smoked
the ladies amused themselves 60

sure that every editor would carry home
with him pleasant recollections of the
visit. The train left here, returning to

satisfied with their visit.

OUR NEUTRALITY.

The Advertiser comes out in
defense of the ridiculous neutra-
lily proclamation issued by the
Dole Hatch combination. The
semi official organ says that
The publication of this pro-
clamation Will have an effect up
on the conduct of this alien pop
ulation which cannot be ignored. "
The great papier' does not
deign TO explain where and how
the EFFECT" comes in. That the
proclamation has had an effect on
the risible muscles of the alien
population we are ready to admit
but that is all the effect it will
have. The Chinese and Japanese
resideutins Hawaii don't care a
fig for the Hawaiian government
or its proclamations The Chi
nese are, if anything, hostile
towards the government and the
japanese only obey the represen-
tatives of their homes government.
1t is mainly due to the great in
fuence and pronounced tact of
Mr.. S. Fujii the diplomatic agent
of the Mikado that the large
japanese population here has
kept so quiet and refrained from
all irritating and insulting exul-
tation over their Chinese neigh
bors. Anybody conversant with
the true situation here will know
that feelings and sentiments
are very strained between the
subjects of the two belligerent
nations residing in Hawaii. Ii
an open clash is avoided it is
solely due to the good Offices of
Mr.. Full and the calm demeanor
of the leading Chinese. Mr..
Hatch's proclamations are
neither read or noticed by the
parties in question. When will
