CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 25.-William j.
Campbell, the Illinois member of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, returned
to-day from his visit to Washington. He
had a long conference with J. Irving
Pearce, who has taken the initiative in
working for the National convention prize
to be awarded Chicago. Although neither
gentleman would disclose the information
which Mr.. Campbell no doubt brought
with him from his fellow-committeemen en-
in Washington, it was learned that Mr..
Campbell told the chairman of the Chicago
committee that Immediate action of q
definite character must be taken by Chi
cago's business men, and guarantee pay
ment of at least $4,000 made to the
National Committee before the claims of
this city would be considered. If this is
not done in few days, Mr.. Campbell
thinks the convention will go to Pittsburg.
1t is understood that meeting of the busi-
ness mems comm ittee will be held at once.

THE ORDER FORGED.
Mistake OF Two Brainy but
Thirsty Braves of Del Norte
County.

The noble red man of Del Norte County
is genius in some ways, but
two representatives of his race have come
10 grief through mere excess of smartness.
They wanted e good long drink of beer
one measured by gallons, and not by small
glasses-and their attempt to secure the
same, though new and successful, has
landed them behind prison bars. Worse
than that, the Supreme Court announces
that they shall stay there.
1t was during the hot days of last spring
that Henry James and w. H. Miller, two
fairly educated red men, decided that,
come what may, they must have some of
the foaming drink of the white man. 1t
is strictly against the law to sell liquor of
any kind, even the insidious beer, to the
indians, but the two seekers after refresh
ment evolved a plan by which that law
could be over-ridden. Between them, with
considerable labor and great pains, they
constructed this order on the department
of malt liquors in the store of Gottlob
Hess and Frank Comins:
March 20, 1895. Please deliver to bearer
gals. beer and oblige FRANK CousHEs.
This order the two domesticated sons of
the forest took to Hess, who hon
ored it at once without noticing the
inn nnroved method of spelling his name
his partner had adopted. The keg
thus obtained was carsed away
into secluded old shanty, and the two
braves slaked their thirst until a rainbow
taste grew upon their tongues and their
stomachs demanded something more sub
stantial than steam beer. 1t was in this
predicament that the Constable caught
them, and when they awoke TO consider
the things of this world they were in pris-
on for forging the order for the beer.
The defense was that as liquor could not
be sold to Indians the two defendants could
not forge-eyen legally forge-an order, the
mere compliance with which would be
crime on the part of the person thus
4stuck for tae drinks" The bibnlous con-
dition of the defendants showed too plainly,
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-26

however, that legally or not they had OBJ
tanned something effervescent, and so they
were convicted. The Supreme Court to
which an appeal was taken went further.
The order, it SAID, was made out payable
TO bearer, and in hands other than Indian
would have been an engine of fraud, con
sequently the order was forgery and the
braves must pay the piper. They should
have made it payable to themselves or to
brother-in-law or any one handy, but they
were just smart enough to fall short.
Anyway they had the beer and the keg
was all of it ever recovered, but the braves
of Del Norte will get a doctors prescrip-
ton next time or drive the time-honored
auger-hole through the wall OF the house
and the head of the keg, otherwise they
will pay too much for carousal, even
though the barkeeper puts UP the beer.

MURRAY AGAINST HOWELL
He Was One Of the Main Oper.
atorS of the North Beach
Gang.
The Strongest Evidence That Has Yet
Been Found Against the Stock.
ton Man.

The Government scored another point
yesterday in the Howell counterfeiting
case on trial in the United States District
Court, and with this success it may be said
that the trial has begun in earnest.
Attorneys Joseph Campbell and E. S..
Pillsbury had made some strong objections
to the prosecution putting on the stand
C. NJ. Murray and Fred Marsh, the two
accomplices, as it is supposed, of Howell,
but Judge Morrow delivered an opinion
early in the day allowing them to be ex-
amined in consideration of the principle
that the question of whether they were
accomplices or not would be one for the
jury to determine.
Murray was the first witness examined
for the Government and the questioning
consumed the day. Attorney Campbell
objected vigorously to some of his evil
dence, but Judge Morrow overruled him.
He will subject Murray to pretty severe
cross examination. The evidence was
more damaging than any that was intro
duced against the defendant on the two
former trials.
This is the first time Murray has had
any chance to testify against Howell He
pleaded guilty, originally, to passing the
counterfeit money and was sentenced to a
term in the penitentiary, but before he
completed it he was pardoned, because he
had promised TO give evidence against
Howell if executive clemency were ex-
tended to him.
His pardon was based upon q recon-
mendation emanating from the United
States District Attorneys Office at the
urgency of Secret Service Agent Harris
1t was Harris scheme to use Murray and
Marsh against Howell and produce
evidence that would convict this time.
According to yesterdays testimony
Murray kept saloon in this City in 1892
Fred Marsh proposed to him the counter
feiting venture, and they, with the assist
ance of Apatti, Visconte and others, went
into the business extensively and became
known eventually as the "North Beach
gang" Murray went to Stockton, he
stated, to pass some of the "queer" Marsh
had given to him. There he met Howell.
The sequel can be given in his own
words:
Howell bought the money at half rates,
and he told me then that he would pay
half price for all the counterfeit could
get. I sold him all kinds of silver and
three counterfeit notes the first day / met
him. The notes amounted to $25 and he
gave me $12 80 for them. Afterward l sold
him the money right along until Mr.. Har
ris arrested u.s.
Messrs. Campbell and Pillsbury have
associated with them in the defense Attor-
ney Thomas D. Riordan. Howell does not
seem to be disconnected by the testimony
of his former friend.

ATTORNEY ARRESTED.
Charles p Kearley Charged With Va.

False Pretenses.

grancy and Obtaining Money by
False Pretenses.
Charles P. Kearley, who gives his occu-
patton as an attorney, was arrested on
Ellis street yesterday afternoon by Police
men Wagner and Riley, and taken to the
City Prison, where he was booked on the
charge of vagrancy.
Last night another charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses was booked
against him. The complaining witness is
Ambrose Watson, clerk in Judge ConIan's
court.
On September 10 two women were each
fined SIS by Judge Conlan. They had put
up $50 bail each the night previous. After
sentence had been passed Kearley went to
Watson and said he had been authorized
by julius Ossala, who bailed the two
women out, to get an order for the $50 bal
ance of bail money from the City Treas
urer. Watson demurred, and Kearley be-
came indignant that he should doubt the
word of an attorney. Finally Watson was
prevailed upon to give him the order.
A few DAYS later Ossala called upon Wat
son and asked for the $50. He was told it
had been paid 10 Kearley as his attorney,
and he was shown Kearley's receipt. Os-
saa denied that he had ever given Kearley
authority to get the money, and Watson
had to pay it out of his own pocket. Kear-
ley kept away from the hall till yesterday
and the sight of him reminded Watson of
what he had done, so he informed the Do
lice and Kearley was arrested.

pecially. Mr. Doolittle says:
Great Britain ha- long been coming
these dollars, placing the Japanese
chop or characters representing the
silver in the piece on one side, and thd
British stamp on the other. This cur
rency has been Of great service to Brit
ism merchants transacting business in

British nations at large. Our trade dol
lars might have served the same pur-
pose but lacking the Japanese chop or
character indicating value. The Chi

them and would not use them The
measure. I think, Congress will enact,
viii provide for the coinage of these
dollars with the eagle on one side and
