Gould's New Suit Got Wet.

CowEs, Isle of Wight, Aug. 4.-George
Gould had narrow escape from drown
ing yesterday, when he met the Vigil
liant in a steam launch, off the Spit
light-shlp. Just as Mr.. Gould was
walking across plank held between
the two vessels, the launch gave sud-
den lurch and Mr.. Gould fell into the
sea. He was wearing macintosh at
he time and the garment flew over his
head, and for time, MIR. Gould's situa-
tton was critical. However,, he kept
his head and treaiing water, threw his
arms up, and, just as he was sinking,
succeeded in getting the macintosh
clear off his head. Gasping for breath
he held out his hand to the Vigilanrs
people, who caught it in the nick of
time and dragged him on board the
sloop. Mr.. Gould, today, was none the
worse for his immersion.

Prospects That the Government
Will Push Its Claim for a
Share
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. THE Chron-
icle says: Although the claim of the
United States against the Leland STAN
ford estate for S15, O0O.OOO does not be-
come due until January. 1895, there is
every reason to believe that proceedings
in the state courts to collect the alleged
Indebtedness will be commenced at a
much earlier date.
When few days ago Mrs. Stanford
by her attorneys notified the govern.
ment that its claim against the estate
had been rejected, it was generally
believed that no further action would be
taken until the first bonds of the
Central Pacific had become due.
Until that time the government would
have no legal right to enforce its claims.
SINGS that time. however, it is said
Mrs. Stanford has submitted to the
United States through its representa-.
tive. District Attorney Charles A.
Garter, a proposition for friendly suit.
The government is asked to bring it's
suit without waiting until Jan. 5, 1895,
when portion Of the claim will be due.
In event of this proposition being
found agreeable the administrators OF
the estate will waive the right to object
on the grounds that the claim is not
due. This will be to all intents and
purposes suit 10 quiet title. The ad
mlnistrators are exceedingly anxious to
have the matter cleared up.
Mrs. Stanford and her attorneys are
confident that the governments claim
is entirely unfounded, and that judg-
ment in its favor will never be granted.
Therefore the prospects of a long delay
in the distribution and settlement of
the dead senator's estate is not inviting.
and will be prevented If such thing is
possible. The seQuestratiQn OF an
amount sufficient to meet the govern
ment's claim would mean the swallow
ing up Of the entire estate and will be
fought vigorously. The distribution of
the estate cannot take place until all the
claims against it have been settled, and
it has been determined whether there ID
a suf6ciency to meet all claims.

FIENDISH SLAVS,
Brutal Attack by Striking Miners

Brutal Attack by Striking Miners
on a Non.Union Worker.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa. Aug. 4. - A
bloody affair occurred at Leisenring this
evening, which shows that the violent
spirit of the striking Slavs is not entirely
subdued. While Samuel Matthews, who
recently deserted the strikers. was re-
Slavs attacked him. Matthews was
soon captured. and then followed one
of the cowardly, cruel scenes the Slavs
have SO often enacted in this region.
The fugitive, hemmed in by his
captors, struggled desperately to pro-
tect himself. A big Slav pushed in and
struck at his neck with a knife.
Matthews threw out his arm and the
blade was buried in it above the elbow.
Dodging another blow with knife, the
weapon penetrated his shoulder. There
was storm of blows, and every hand
striking them held a knife. The poor
man was being dreadfully treated, but
he kept his wits and thus escaped
more than one than otherwise
fatal thrusts, when two cowardly Slavs
struck him from behind, stabbing him
In the back almost simultaneously.
When he was down underfOot, being
kicked and trampled, the men stopped
to stab him in his helpless condition.
Then crowd, that had been drawn by
the attack. charged on the Slays, who
were driven back, and rescued the ter
ribly wounded man. He was carried
home and physician summoned. He
is now unconscious and will die.

SHOWERS OF THE QUEER
TWO NOTORIOUS COUNTER
FEITERS CAUGHT.
Members OF Gang Whose Fora
geries Amount to Over
$1,OOO,OoO.

NEW YORK, Aug. A million dol
lars worth of spurious treasury notes
have been put into circulation by
great gang of c5unterfeiters around
whom the government detectives have
at last succeeded In drawing the
meshes of the law. Chief Forsyth, of
the United States detective bureau in
this city, will not give any Information
as to the nature of the evidence in the
possession of the government. fearing it
might interfere with the work of cap
turing the other members OF the gang,
of which Russell II. Hoyt and Samuel
Massey, now in Ludlow street Jail, are
said to be members. 1t seems to DO
certain that the presses and plates Of
the gang have been found and confis-
Gated. Some of the plates are said to
have been stolen from the government.
The counterfeiters' plant had not only
the facilities for turning out five, ten,
twenty, fifty and one-hundred-dollar
treasury notes, but also government
bonds and securities, for which mar
ket was found in foreign countries.
Where this plant was located is as yet
a mystery, but one man, formerly Sc
cret service detective, says that the
counterfeiters had their money factory
in some out-of-the-way place in Con.
necticut, where they have made tine
spurious notes and coins for the last ten
years. growing holder and increasing
the volume of their output year by
year. The work was carried on with
such wonderful ingenuity that even the
Banks Accepted the Commercials.
and rarely was the spuriousness of any
OF the notes discovered until they
reached the United States treasury.
The wholesale dealer in false notes,
be arrested, was in undoubted posses
sion of the secret OF the location of the
plant. When promised his freedom if
he would turn states evidence, he first
swOre that he knew nothing, and finally
said that he preferred death to saying
anything. because his life would
not be secure if he squealed
while any member Of the gang
remained at liberty. The secret
service men now have the names of all
the members of the band, and they are
hot on their trail. Except that some of
them may escape to foreign countries,
which emergency has already been pro.
vided for by the cabling OF full de-
scriptlon of them to the police authori-
ties at foreign ports. they will all be
cOrraiied In a short time.
1t is believed that this gang of coun-
terfeiters was the main branch of the
Daddy" briggs gang captured in the
summer of 1889 in Dayton, D. They
had flooded the Western country with
counterfeit $40 treasury notes for years.
One member of the gang, however, es-
capped. and he was the one when the
detectives were most anxious to get
hold of, for he had in his possession
so webster head" plate, series of 1875.
which had been engraved by Ben Boyd.
a former employe of the United States
bureau of engraving, who at the time Of
the capture of the Western gang was
serving ten-year sentence in Joliet
prison. Ben Boyd has reformed since
his release from Joliet. and is now said
to DO highly valued employe Of Chi
cago banknote company.

LIL's AGENTS FAIL.
They Get No Official Recognition
in Washington.

w Aug. Al. A. Weide-
man, one of the three Hawaiian royalist
commissioners now in Washington,
called at the state department today,
and had half hours interview with
Secretary Gresham. The call was
purely informal, and, in fact, it could
not have been otherwise, as. the COM
missioners being unprovided with Gre
dentials from any recognized gov.
eminent. can have no formal standing
before the state department.. The Sec
rotary questioned the commissioner
closely as to the authority by which he
appeared, what the commission was
doing here. and as to Hawaiian affairs
generally. To all of these question Mr..
Weideman responded freely, and among
other things dtsabused the secretary's
mind of the impression that the COM
mission was seeking to influence con-
gress in the ex-queen's favor. The
interview was characterized by the best
of feeling, but when the commissioner
left it was not known whether he would
call again. and as he had been given to
understand that the commission cannot
be dealt with officially by the depart
ment there is ground for the presump D.
ton that the mission is at an end.

PORTLAND, Or. Aug. 4.-The first

the findings of the Paris tribunal of
arbitration to settle the Boring sea con-
troversy between the United States and
Great Britain was brought to light at
Astoria by the arrival there last Thurs
day of the American schooner Kate and

board COS sealsklns, part of which were
caught within the closed zone in the
waters covered by the provisions of the
tribunals findings and included In the
proclamation of the president, issued IN
pursuance of the same. The cap
tain claims that the sealskins were
caught in part prior to May, 1894, and
part since that date. Corporal Page
being in doubt as to the status of the
case under the provisions of the procla-
nation Of President Cleveland of April
9, 1893, and the provisions contained in
it, has asked for instructions from the
United States district attorney In the
matter. The Kate and Ann was in
Alaskan waters at the time the procla-
nation was promulgated, and her
captain was in ignorance with regard
to its provisions and prohibitions until
after his arrival In port Astoria. If the
facts are as set forth in Collector Pages
letter, the vessel will likely be seized
and libeled.
