THEN WANT BONDS.
Nr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
Want n New Issue.

Involved in the signing Of the seignior-
age bill is the issue OF more United States

land and Mr. Carlisle that authorization
be given for the issuance Of short term

gress that all customs dues be paid in gold.

with the coming of spring a young

INTO the river. Without waiting TO remove
any portion of his attire the policeman
followed the woman and landed in water
as deep as his shoulders. The would-be
SUICIDE appeared TO be either drunk or
insane and it required the united efforts
OF Mr.. Cock and two other gentlemen "a

TO the fourth precinct station, where she
lay on her back and continued to yell for

anything.
Another Attempt.

street southwest, a son of Mr.. John b.
Hammond, the well-lInown dealer in build
ing materials When the engine was within
ten feet Of him young Hammond stretched
himself on the track before it.
At that moment Dffippr Cnak took in sls
situation at a glance, and after a lamp he
grabbed the young man by the coat collar
and nurled him face forward down steep
bank just as the locomotive passed over the
spot where ne had been lying a moment
before. Hammond arose and wanted l.
fight.
He stated that he desired to die and did
not care to have anyD1dy prevent him from
doing SO. He further remarked that he in
tenued to Kill himself at sometime and did
not see why he was not allowed TO do -
today. On the way % the station he at
tempted to leave the patrol wagon, but
finally went along quietly. Later III the
day he was released.

Commissioner TruesdeII Says Outside
InHuence is of No Avail.

Col Truesdelrs evident intention not
to allow outside influence to sway his de-
cisions was exemplified today in u case
which came before him involving the
instatemcnt of an eX-menber Of the police
force. who was dismissed during the ad-
ministration of Colonel Robert, who, as
Engineer Commissioner, took a great in
tercst in police affairs. The gentlemen who
called in the interest of this eX-member
of the police force are prominent men,
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic;
in fact, one of them is a commander The
policeman above mentioned being an old
soldier and also identified with the C. A r.
had enlisted their influence. 1t is well
known that Col. Truesdell was a gallant
soldier and is a member OF the c. A r.
The argument made to Colonel Trues5ell
was strong one, particular stress beng
laid upon the fact that the officer was an
old soldier.
After hearing the gentleman patiently for
some time Col Truesdell said: Gentlemen,
while l appreciate your motive ia coming
here and cOngra tulate you in your en-
deavors to serve an old soldier ! must say
to ycu that this case has been closed. one
of the first things l did upon assuming the
Commissionership was to go into this case
myself. / gave ii careful consideration
and finally decided that the officer had been
properly dismissed. Under these circum-
stances l cannot and will not reopen this
case As long as L am Commissioner.

much outside pressure is brought 20 bear
If a policeman violates the regulo tons

resolution, OF which the committee on Pa
cific railroads is trying to secure control
1t was decided that the legal questions in
volved in the resolution were such as to
give the Judiciary committee concurrent
Jurisdiction over it with the Pacific rail-
roads committee. 1t was thought desra-
bic, however, not to make a contest to con-
troll the resolution but to let the House Ge-
eide which committee should handle the
subject.

The first position she held in this city,
Miss Pollard went on to say in answer to

ment in the botanical division. She held
the position for six months.
1t was secured for her by Mr.. Brecl1n-

the census office which she held for year
and month. She very well remembered
when Mr. Breckenridge was i'll and in
Florida for she worried over his illness so
much that she became i'll herself. During
this time she claimed to be writing for the
