NEVER BEFORE.
Banker Whiteman Insists ii is His
First offence.

First offence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19-Alonzo
j. Whiteman, the Duluth banker whose
motion for a new trial on a charge of
forgery is now pending, has filed an
affidavit with Judge Wallace in answer
TO the allegations that he has a crimi-
nal record in the east. Whiteman de-
clared that prior to his Indictment in
April last he was never indicted for
forgery and that he was never charged
by informa ton or otherwise with for
gerry; that no charge of any kind was
ever made against him in the state of
Michigan, and that he was never tried
for any criminal offense, except on
June 20, 1895, in the case at bar; that he
was never arrested in the state of Illi-
nois.
He also deposes that he was once
indicted in New York for giving a
check signed by himself on the Mer-
chants and Farmers National bank, OF
Evansville, N Y. in which he was a
director, which check was returned I'M
paid; that when the facts were brought
to the attention of Delaney NicOu. then
district attorney of New York, he at
once moved for the dismissal of the
Indictment.
Relative to the statement that he
was charged with crime in England,
Whiteman makes an absolute denial,
and in connection with his arrest in
Michigan he asserts that among 9TH
ers who attended the hearing before
Governor Rich on July %, 1894, when
application was made for his extra
dition on the charge of forging the
name of Frank Dixon to a check for
$500 and passing it on ]. D. Maxwell,
Of San Francisco, there appeared Ly-
man Z. Woodland and r. L. Flickinger.
of Owasso, Mich, who are among the
weaBhiest and largest manufacturers in
the state. and who are personally
known TO the governor; that they
informed Governor Rich that they
knew Frank Dixon, and that he had
been in the employ of Woodland, and
that the sole reason why Governor Rich
refused to honor the requisition was
because he was satisfied that no for
gerry had been committed.

MIR. Gleed, 1.-THE decree in the Atchlson
general mortgage case, which took the
property into court, will be taken from
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell
at Topeka. An order of sale will thdN
be issued, within the shortest time re-
quired by the statutes. as both sides
are ready for. the purchas of the road
by the reorganized company, which IS
to assume charge of it's affairs. This
sale will probably be set for day
early in November or possibly IN
October, when the new company
stands ready to bid in the immediate
property under the plan of reorganiza-
ton which has been adopted.
in the meantime the new COM
pany will complete its organization,
The date has not been set, but it's
election will take place before the date
set for the sale of the property. Di-
rector Gleed refuses to make any
prophecy as to who these officers will

about 1900 miles of road, of which about
$500 miles are owned by the company and
covered by its mortgages, and about 100
miles are leased.
The leased lines are covered by mort
cages, the bonds of which have been
guaranteed by the Northern Pacific COM
pany.
During the fiscal year ending June so,
1894, the net income was $3.50. 1ol. The
annual charges were .262, $50. The latter
sum must be provided for ahead OF any
interest on the second, third and con-
solidated mortgage bonds. The difference
between these two sums, S493, US, SHOWS
the loss incurred by the receivers after
paying the interest on the first mortgage
and other preferred claims.
The receivers debentureS now amount
ing to about S11000. 900 are first lien. at
least ahead of the mortgage in default.
The year ending June 80, 1894 was q PAD
one for railways and the condition OF the
business is improving, the business OF tne
Northern Pacific for the year ending June

WASHINGTON, Aug 19-Ex-Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, called today
on Senators Jones and Harris, members
of the executive committee appointed by
the recent Democratic silver conference,
and suggested the following propositions
to be advocated by the silver Democrats:
First-Repeal the tax on state bank Cir
culation.
Second-Admit silver to coinage at an
equality with gold at the ratio of 10 to 1.
Third-Retire all greenbacks and coin
certificates.
Fourth-Require national banks to sur
render their charters and permit them to
take out state charters, under national
supervision.
F'ifth-Take the government entirely out
of the banking business
Sixth-Stop the issuance of long time
bonds by the government. The revenues
should be enough to support the govern
ment. But if it is necessary to issue
bonds they should be in small denomina-
tons in order that our people can invest
their savings in them.

LABOR CONGRESS-.
Bitter Strife Between the Bodies in

Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Bitter strife be-
tween the trade and labor assembly and
the Chicago labor congress-two rival
bodies composed of delegates from local
unions-promises to make a. disSraceful
comedy of the labor day celebration. Each
of these central bodies are arranging for
a parade and picnic on labor day and
all efforts toward Cancellation and one
general parade, which would fittingly
represent organized labor in Chicago, has
proven futile.
Members of many of the local unions
are thoroughly, disguised with the un,,
seemly wrangle between the central
bodies. The American Boot and Shoe Max
ers' unions, which had 1000 members in
the labor parade last year and won sec
ond prize, decided at its regular meeting
Thursday not to take part in Labor Day
parades hereafter Until the difficulties be-
tween the central bodies have been
amicably adjusted. The oriclSlayers and
carpenters and painters have taken SINH

SUGAR TRUST.
Wrong Impression sASns to Have
Gotten Abroad.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Deputy
Attorney General Parsons gave the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press representative today regarding
the attitude OF that department to-
wards the sugar trust
"a wrong impression has gotten
abroad through various sources that
the attorney general is neg!ecting his
duty in not inquiring into the conduct
of the sugar trust in this state. This
trust was incorporated under the New
Jersey laws, and this office has no
jurisdiction over its charter, and the
attorney general has no power or right
to investigate the doings of that con-
Germ without charges being preferred.
1t is the policy of the attorney general
and his direction to his deputies, in
any case of this nature, to act as
speedily as the circumstances viii per-
nit The attorney general fs not cleo
tive. and it is not in his province to
hunt up such cases until they are
brought specially to his notice by
preference of charges"

Is All Serene.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Off
Gals of the Chinese legation have no
information throwing any light on the
reported refusal of the nome govern
ment to permit the members of the
mixed British and American commits
sion to investigate the Ku Cheng mass
acre. In fact, the legation has not yet
been appraised officially of the appoint
ment of the commission. The only
reason given for the reported refusal
is that the action reported to have
been taken. was by the Chinese local
officials, who possibly have not been
informed by the central commission
TO make the investigation, the local
officers acting merely on their own in
clinations in the premises. If the re-
ported action of the Chinese be cor
rect, it is apparently no matter of
great surprise to the state department
officiaishere. They attribute any re-
fusal of the local authorities to per-
nit the commission to investigate the
troubles to the well known desires of
the Chinese to conduct such inquiries
by their own people, the dislike of
having any interference by outsiders,
and the general suspiciousness with
which they look upon foreigners.
1t is not feared here in official cir
cles but that any complications that
may have arisen in the present case
viii be adjusted and ample repara-
ton be made for the lives that were
lost in the Ku Cheng massacre.
