Taylor's Dsfalcxtion Hardly Causes Tenn
porary Embarrassment.
PIERRE, s. D., Feb. 5.-State Treas
urer Phillips in an interview made the
following statement: lowing to the
constitutional provisions limiting tho
states debt to $1,000,0 900, and the rate
of taxation to mills, the emptying Of
the treasury seemed at first to cause
some embarrassment. This has passed
away and there will he no further
trouble whatever, not only in meeting
the states Obi, cations, but in paying all
Of the appropriations i'll cash. The con-
dition which might have caused most
embarrassment was the existence Of
$500, 900 in funding warrants held by
the Chase National Bank Of New York,
the Albany City Savings bank and tho
Albany Savings institution. These
were due in December, and Taylor had
collected sufficient money to pay them.
The thee institutions have promptly
extended the warrants one year. This
leaves us in excellent shape.

THE STATES SURPRISE.


One Said to BE in Store for the Hayward
Drftns.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 5.-The Tribune
Gays: The prosecution in the Harry
Hayward case has surprise to spring
upon the defense-a surprise which will
take Mr.. Erwln's breath away.
It is no less than evidence other than
that of Blixt to prove Hayward's guilt.
Blixt will be placed on the stand prob.
ably on Wednesday, but not later than
Thursday in any event, unless there
should be an unforeseen delay in the case,
but the prosecution claims that it is now
in position where it will not be obliged
to depend on his testimony in order to
secure q cow ction. He might die, or
when he goes on the stand he may deny
the story he has already told. That
VIII Mako No Difference
with the states side Of the case. It is
prepared to prove it's claims without any
reference as to what Blixt may say.
County Attorney Nye had long con-
ference with Blixt at the jail. At that
conference the attorney was placed in
the possession of additional important
facts which nave not heretofore been
made public, and which will not be dis
closed until the witnesses upon whose
testimony they depend are placed upon
the stand, but it can be safely said that
they are startling in their character.

BONDS NO GOOD.
Famous Lyon County (Ia.)
Case Decided by the Su-

A BIG DEBT IS WIPED OUT.
Principal and Interest Ac-

$3eO,OOO.
A BIG DEBT IS WIPED OUT

Sioux CITY, H., Feb. 5. Tho famous
Lyon county bond case was decided by
the United States supreme court affirm
ing the decision Of the lower court. The
decision is in favor of the county and
disposes Of case long in litigation, wip'
ing out debt of about $S60, 900, princi-
pal and interest, represented by bonds.
The case is said to have grown out Of
steals in the early history Of the county.
When the county was organized the or
ganizers wanted to get some swamp
lands. It was the custom to give these
lands to company for educational pur-
poses. Lyon county had no swamps
and the plan was to get some Of the
land declared swamp land anyhow.
Accordingly the county board author
lied the
for lawyers aud in other ways to estab-
lish that there were swamp lands in the
county. In this way bonds were issued
from time to time and tho debt became
immense. In 1886 refunding bonds
were issued to take these up to the
amount Of @208, 900, aud it is on these
refunding bonds that the fight has been
made. The case went through the
state and then the federal courts. In
the state court it was held that the
bonds were invalid. This was in an old
case founded on an injunction which
the citizens of the county secured to re-
stra n the payment OF interest on the
bonds. After the case was settled one
of the owners Of bonds sued on them
and got into the federal court. This is
the case settled by the latest decision.

BLEW A SAFE.
Ohio Cr.ok~men Got Away With 5000
Two Of Them Captured.

Ohio Cr.oksmen Got Away With On, 900.
Two Of Them Captured.
TOLEDO, O., Feb 5.-About o'clock
Q. M, terrific explosion awakened the
people Of the village Of Milan, east of
here. A hurried examination showed
that the Lockwood bank building had
been blown up, the safe cracked and it's
contents, about $4,000, taken by five
masked men, who in blowing open the
safe had demolished the building and
started an alarm nil over the village.
Among the many who started to inves-
tigate the explosion, was L. L. Stoddard..
cashier of the bank, and he was just i'll
time to see the five men leave the bank
building, jump into o. carriage and drive
away on q dead gaIlop. He
Fired Several Shots ut Them,
but without effect, and the men soon
disappeared in the direction of San
dusky. A posse Of men was hurriedly
organized and soon followed in pursuit.
At the same time notices were sent by
wire in all directions, and the news
spread around them 80 securely that es-
cape was we'll nigh impossible. AT San
dusky two men were caught, while it is
only question of few hours before
the remaining three will find themselves
in the tolls.
The exact amount Of money secured
cannot yet be ascertained but it is be-
lieved to be about $1,000 The bank is
a wealthy concern, which fact was
doubtless known by the men. The
only error in their we'll laid plans was
the heavy explosion which started the
alarm. 1t is quite probable that they
had not prepared it with sufficient eau
ton, and by that one error their plans
were upset and themselves in hourly
danger Of capture.

was made in the house to pass an omni-
bus bill for the payment Of claims for
stores and supplies confscated from
loyal people in the South during the
war, amounting to $718, 763. It excited
much opposition and especially FROM
Pennsylvania members interested in
Pennsylvania war claims amounting to
81, 100000 and not included, and the
measure was defeated, 95 to 148. A
rule was then adopted for the considera-
ton of the currency bill, after which
the remainder Of the day was devoted to
the agricultural appropriation bill,
which was passed without amendment.
An attempt to reduce the appropriation
for the distribution of seed failed.

T0G.:,, REEDS BILL.
The, Republican Leader Has a
Financial Measure Ready I
to Launch, 4a
IT UPSETS ALL CALCULATIONS.
Democrats Were Figuring on
Republican Support for
Their Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--Calculations
Of the supporters and opponents of the
new adm nistratiop financial bill have
been upset by the intersection Of new
factor in the campaign. Mr.. Reed Of
Maine, the Republican leader, brought
forward new plan for which he is en-
deavor4ng to enlist the entire strength
of his party, and which he will offer as
substitute for the administration
scheme, if he thinks his plan can COM
mand sufficient support to make it .
factor in the fight. There are but
Two Sections to the Reed Plan
in the form in which he has submitted
it to his colleagues. The first proposes to
restrict the law of 1875, which author
ICES the secretary Of the treasury to is
sue bonds to redeem the greenbacks to
8 per cent bonds. y
The second section authorizes the Sec
rotary of the treasury when there is q
deficit to issue certificates of indebted
ness to pay current expenses, the certifi-
Gates to be in sums Of $25, $50 and 500
and any multiples thereof, bearing in
terest at 8 per cent and
Payable in Colo.
The bill, as Mr.. Reed explained to
the Republicans whose support no
sought, is but a temporary expedient to
tide over the present distress. The sub
stitution of "coin" for the gold pro-
visions of the administration plan is ex-
pected to win for it liberation if not the
support Of free silver mon, who bitterly
oppose all propositions to discriminate,
by stipulation in any bill, in favor Of
gold. Its comparative simplicity, it is
expected, will commend the bill to the
house in preference to more complex
