officials express the belief and hope that
the larger part of the subscriptions to
the bonds will be paid for in gold. this
feeling being based on the large
amounts already reported as having
been deposited in the subtreasury at
New York in authorization of the delivery
of the bonds. The statement of the
gold balance issued today shows an
increase of but S3.OOO,OOO in round
numbers, so that the full reports of the
receipts thus far have not reached the
department. The net currency balance
shows decline of nearly $4,000
600, and is accounted for partly
by the issue of conditional
receipts received for gold deposits, and
partly by the fact that the expenditures
have been million dollars more than
the receipts thus for this month.
1t was stated at the treasury
department this afternoon that
Secretary Carlisle would on Monday
send to the senate reply to the resolu-
ton of that body calling for the names
of the bidders for the bonds.

4 VERDICT OF GUILTY. L-i'lT
RESULT OF THE HOWARD TRIAL
AT JACKSON, TANN.
A Baptist Preacher Convicted of Using
che Mails for Fraudulent Purposes.
He Is Proved to Be a Wolf
In Sleeps Clothing.

JACKSON, Tenn, Jan. 3.--The jury in
the famous Howard case this morning
returned a verdict of guilty. George
Frederick Burgoyne, alias Frederick
Hewlett, alias Z. Ross, alias William
Lord Moore, alias Joseph Ledger, was
technically charged with using the
United States mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. According 10 the evidence he
was one Of the most accomplished con-
tidence men in this country or any
other. The story OF his doiags would
fill volumes. According to the claims
OF the prosecution Howard, under vari-
GUS nliase5, slelsaudod the American
people ont Of $55 COO He, after check
cred career in various parts Of the world,
came to Jackson in 1883, identified him
self with the First Baptist church, of
which he was soon elected pastor, and
was given the chair of moral philosophy
in the Southwestern Baptist university
here.
After q time division sprang up in
his church and bis trial was the out
growth OF the enmities aroused while he
was pastor of the church. His ensmies
spent large sumB to gather evidence
against him, both here and in England.
This evidence was to the effect that he
went to New York in 1890 and under the
alias of +. Ross opened claim agency,
duping large number OF Americans into
believing rich Engllsh estates awaited
them which they could have by paying
him $35 incidental fees. The postal
authorities broke up this game and he
went to London where, under the name
OF William Lord Moore, he announced
to his dupes that be had succeeded to
the business of Ross. and when driven
out again by the efforts OF the United
States minister he re-appeared in New
York as Joseph Ledger, successor to
Moore.
He came here few months ago to
negotiate ponds of Gulf and Ship Island
railroad. and approached old clients.
or this he was arrested in Chicago; he
eecaped to Canada, WAS rearrested,
brought here and tried with the above
results He is man of remarkable
ability, conducted his own case, contin-
uing to preach at the Baptist church,
his friends continuing to stand by him
to the end.
A motion for an arrest of Judgment is
pending. motion for new trial was
granted.
AN Associated PresO correspondent
interviewed DR.. Howard tonight. He
said the verdict wsa an outrage and a
great surprise to him. There was no
proof to sustain the Judgment. he
would reserve his opinion until after
sentence was pronounced tomorrow
then he would express himself fully
and freely. There WAS not a scintilla OF
proof to show that his Jackson busi-
ness was not fair and legitimate.
The United States marshal arrested
this afternoon Edgar Smith, w. j. Glea-
son and George Hearty, three of DR..
Howsrd's New York witnesses, charged
with perjury. Being unable to give
bonds, they were sent to jail to await
trial.

The Republicans Prevent Debate on thd|

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The tariff de-v
bate did not begin in the house today. !

tion.

ness to acquiesce in the arrangement,
but Boutelle wanted to precipitate the.
question Immediately by calling up hid
resolution. Both sidea were ugly, butt

Boutelle's resolution was privileged.

to go ahead with the Hawaiian discuss

When the senate was called 70 oruU<
at noon, hardly score OF members were
in their seats. There was considerable
delay before q quorum was secured.
After the reading of the journal, Black
burn of kentucky presented the cred en-
tials of Senator Eppa Hunton OF Vir-
ginia, who took the oath of office.
Hill presented a bill limiting the
effect Of regulations of commerce be-
tween the several states and with for
eign countries.
The bill called up by Pugh %
Alabama. for the relief OF certain aliend
who had acquired property in the Dis5
trict of Columbia, occasioned much dis-'
cussion, and it developed the fact that
aliens are incompetent to hold property
in the District Of Columbia.
Harris of Pennsylvania thought the
present law was obnoxious and that 9
general bill should be introduced per-
Knitting aliens to hold property in the
district.
Issue on this point was promptly
taken by Cockrell OF Missouri, who APP
proved the present law and said he
hoped the time would never come when
aliens could hold property in the Dis
tcict Of Columbia.
Alter some further discussion Harris
withdrew. his objections and the bill
was passed. it being for the relief OF
David i. GoodwelI and legalizing his
ownership of real estate in the district.
At IL 40, on motion of Senator Cor
man, the senate went into executiveI
session, and at the conclusion of the
xecutive session, adjourned.
An executive session OF the senate
was held for the purpose of taking up
nominations which had been reported
from committees. and to which no OBJ
lection was made in the senate. As
there was not quorum present, 4
single objection was sufficient to-
send nomination over, and
several went over under the operation Of
this rule. The nomination of r. E.
Preston as director of the mint was
among those called up and disposed Of
for the time being this way. 1t has be-
come evident that he can't be confirmed
in the absence of quorum, but his
friends do not anticipate trouble whom

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The secretary

pursuing negotiations for an agreement
upon regulations to police the Bering
sea. 1t is important that these reguls-

to be gone through between the two
governments will consume much time.
The navy department is apprehending
some embarrassment in supplying suffi-
cient vessels OF the small claes required
to do the work of patrolling the territory
designated by the tribunal at Paris.
When found necessary to patrol the
Bering sea before, the treasury depart
ment had to be called upon for revenue
cutters to aid the work temporarily.
They cannot we'll be spared for perma.
nent use in that work. No active steps
have yet been taken toward the prepara-
