The Exciting Encounter of Two Brooklyn
officers in Arresting Gang of Thieves.

New York, March 90. Detectives Dom
lon and Muller, of, the Twentieth Pre-
cinct, Brooklyn, made clean capture OF
horse thieves late on Wednesday night,
arresting five OF the gang. For some
time, the men known as the "krauss
Gang" have been working successfully
throughout Long Island, Williamsburg,
despite the efforts of the police to
capture them. On Wednesday, the
detectives learned that the gang had a
Headquarters in the frame building at
No. 1856 Starr street, and determined to
make raid upon it. They waited until
night, and on entering the yard which
surrounds the house were met by five
vicious bloodhounds. They managed to
get past them, and, with drawn re-
yolvers, found Krauss, his two sons,
Michael and George, and Charles
Richardson in the place
The men were taken by surprise, but
quickly recovered and showed resistance
IF you move" shouted the detec.
tives, 1--WE will fire." :
Both had their revolvers cooked, but
despite this the men made an attempt to
advance toward them, finally giving it
up, however, when seeing the determined
| look upon the officers faces. In the
meantime the bloodhounds had followed
| the detectives into the house, growing
and snarling, and it was feared they
| would Jump at the officers. The shouts
made by the men attracted a large crowd
| in front of the place. At this time,
William Reidel, another member of the
gang, entered. and demanded to know
| the cause of the trouble. He, too, was
placed under arrest.
\ few minutes later two men drove up
| in front of the house in wagon, and
were on the point Of entering it, when
| informed by the crowd that the police
were within. At once they whipped up
| the horse and drove off. DetecJiv e
Miller, who had noticed the men, recog-
nized them, and after being assured by
| Donlon that he could care for the
prisoners, started in pursuit. He was
| unable to overtake them. and fastened
| to the police station for help. Several
officers were sent to the Starr street
house and took the prisoners into
cusody.
A search was then made of the house
and the stables occupied by Krauss, at
No. 90 st. Nicholas avenue, which
brought to light a large number of
articles, all of which,t police are satis-
fed were stolen. They include nine sets
of harnesses and parts of other sets and
several wagons, which they had been
unable to dispose OF.

HEADING oFFA CANADIAN SCHEME.
A Bill to Suspend Bonding Privileges as a
Retaliatory Measure.

HEADING OFF A CANADIAN SCHEME.
A Bill to Suspend Bonding Privileges as
Retaliatory Measure.
Washington, March 23. Retaliation
against Canada is the purpose of the bill
introduced in the House by Representa-
tive Chickering of Gswego, NY. Mr..
Chickering's bill provides that when
ever the President is satisfied that
Canadians are discriminating in the use
of the Welland canal or other canals in
that country against the United States,
he shall suspend by proclamation trans
portation across the United States in
bond and without payment of duty Of
all merchandise imported or exported
from any foreign country by Canada.
The bill was referred to the foreign
affairs committee, and this morning Mr..
Chickering appeared before sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. McCreary,
Hooker and Hit, In support of the
bill. Mr.. Chickering instanced the fact
that New England representatives, who
are always friendly to the Canadian
Pacific railway, have announced
sympathy with the pill anu Will VoGe lor
it if it comes before the House. Mr..
Chickeriug explained that the Canadian
government for a long time has discrimi-
mated against the United States in the
use of the Welland canal. where no tolls
are charged to vessels flying the
Canadian flag. The present law permits
this government to charge Canadians
for the use of the St. Mary's falls canal
when citizens of this government have
been Disseminated against by Canada.
The latter is now building a rival canal
which will soon make them independent
of st. Mary's canal. When this is built,
| it will leave citizens of the United States
at the mercy of Canadians unless their
purpose to discriminate against the
United States is held in check by the
threat to abrogate the present privilege
of sending guods in transit across this
country in bond without payment OF
duty. ..-.

MAY SIGN THE BILL

MAY SIGN ne Dill.
The President Said to Be Hard at Work
Trying to Convince Himself.
Washington, March 23-It is ascer-
tanned at the Treasury Department that
the President has SO far made up his
mind on the Bland bill that he is dis
posed to sign it if he can convince him
self that no business distur bance will
result from such action. 1t is to this
point that he is now addressing him.
self and which he will continue to keep
in mind until next week. His veto or
signature Of the bill depends upon the
solution he arrives at of this question.
Aside from the protests of commercial
bodies W hose position towards the bill is
the same as towards all silver leglsla-
ton, it is said that the President gives
weight tc the fact that no opposition has
developed among the rank and ME OF
business men throughout the country
while the influence brought to bear IN
its behalf comes not only from those
who are usually nsfavor of silver, but al
SO from the large independent contingent
that forced the repeal of the Sherman
law last fall, but still held out for some
legislation i'll favor of silver. :,
This influence is now making itself
felt with the President and is chiefly
represented by Congressman Patterson
of Tennessee and Forman of Illinois.
| The original silver men are not letting
| the fact escape the attention of the
President that the Bland seigniorage bill
| il. the aggregate received seven-eighthso OF
tie Democratic strength in both houses
of Congress.
| MIR. BANDS declaration that free
coinage bill will be reported to the
| House whether the President signs the
seigniorage bill or not has created good
deal of talk at the Capitol. The free
coinage mem hers of the House agree
with Mr.. Bland They say that the
| seigniorage bill is mostly incidental sill
| yer legislation, and does not in any
| degree meet the necessities in the case.
| Some of the more conservative, however,
believe that the less said about the mat
| ter the better, inasmuch as in then
| Judgment the President may veto til 6
| seigniorage bill if he becomes satisfied
| that an attempt will be made to put g
free silver bill through the House. The
Eastern Democrats, however, all q
whom are opposed to free silver, are still
! firm in their belief that the president
! will veto the seigniorage bill.
| Mr.. Tracey of New YORK, who is con-
| spicuously opposed to any silver !eglsla
| ton, says there is no posi- bility OF free
| coinage bill being passed by the House
| might take regarding the seignioragt
| bill. The conservative silver men ar.
| disposed to differ from Mr.. Tracey, an6
TO assert that thirty or forty Democratic
| votes would be cast for a fee silver bill
| that would otherwise oppose such {
| measure if the President vetoes thu
| seigniorage bill.
