BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.
British Embassy at Washington.
Gets the Full Correspondence
in the Matter.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 25.-Tbe-
British embassy today received from the
foreign Office the full correspondence re-
speeding claims for compensation on ac-
count of British vessels seized in Behr-
ing sea by United States cruisers. Brief
cable extracts from the report have ap-
peared, but the full correspondence is full
Of interest, as it brings out the spirit
with which Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, answered the criti-
cisms of Senator Morgan.
In informing Lord Kimberly that the
House of Representatives had defeated
the measure for the pament of the claim,
Sir Julian wrote: Strong party feeling
would seem alone to account for the re-
lection of so just and desirable an ar
rangement, and as our lordship will have
noticed, the Enclosures in my despatch
statements have been made in Congress
which are entirely misleading, both as to
the law and the facts of the case"
1t is urged that the present claims are
principally made out of indirect" dam
ages, because they include in some cases
the loss of profits of the fishery seal only
by sealing vessels warned out of Behring

her set were present. The next day she
the best diamond thieves in the coun-
try, left for their Ohio home. There
they intend to spend the remainder of
their lives in ease and luxury.
1t is estimated that in the last ten
years Minnie May has stolen to the
value of upward of 100000. Some po-
icemen put the amount as high as $780,
900. At any rate, she has laid enough
by to keep her and Danny without furth-
er ado as long as they live.
Minnie May is still a young woman
She is not more than % years old. The
last ten years she has lived IL Chicago
and during that time she has been ar
and disorderly conduct. She has been
called "the wickedest woman in the
world but there is often doubt ex-
pressed as to the applicability of this
term.
Minnie May was born on a farm near
the old homestead. When Minnie was
about 1S years old, and an innocent but
bright and energetic country girl, she
was engaged to be married, but the pros
pective husband disappeared two weeks
before the day set for the wedding. The
prOuu-SplrlUeQ girl IcIC QlSSraceU IN the
eyes Of her family and friends, so she
left home suddenly and came to Chica-
go. She quickly drifted into the life of
crime in which her shrewdness, and in
many ways her common sense, caused
her to be successful. Unlike many 9th
ers of her class, the proceeds of her
"strong-arm" work were not ~squandered
In riotous living. She never drank and
she saved the money in the pocketbooks,
disposed of the watches and diamonds
doubtless at a sacrifice and far below
par value, but whatever she got was
clear proft-and with the proceeds
bought property in various parts of the
city. For years she was a w~ell-known
figure in the ~neighborhood of the Grand
Pacific hotel. She usually selected
strangers in town as her victims. And
there was a reason for this. If a strang-
er lost a diamond or his wallet it would
usually be financial loss for him to try
to stay here to prosecute the case. Even
if the victim did succeed in having her
indicted, Minnie would have the case
continued from term to term and in thai
way tire the prosecutor until, Disguised,
we would give up the attempt to get her

CHICAGO MUST HUSTLE.
Only Two Weeks Left in Which to,
Capture the Republican
Convention,

Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. 25.-William J.
Campbell, Republican national commit
teeman from Illinois, returned home
from New York today and brought the
news that if Chicago gets the national
convention no time is to be lost. But
two weeks remain before the national
committee meets at Washington to settle
the matter, and Chicago will therefore
have need of all her push and energy to
make a successful campaign in that short
time.
Not far from 100000 will be neces-
sary to cover the expenses of the conven-
ton and wipe out the $4,000 national
committee debt, and Chicago, it is said,
will have that amount on hand. Pitts
burg offers $4,000 besides the enter
tanning of the delegates. but Chicago's
superior advantages will more than offset
the extra money.
The feeling is general that the Demo
cratic convention will be held East, so
that business men having the affair in
charge are planning to concentrate their
energies on capturing the Republican
event

THE NATIONS MONEY.
United States Treasurer Morgan
Makes Report on His
Trust.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 23.-D. n.
Morgan, treasurer of the United States,
in his annual report of the operations
and condition of the treasury, says that
the net ordinary revenues of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1895, were 1913, ,075, an increase of
$50, 1880 as compared with the year
before; net ordinary expenditures, $685.
1915. 29S, a decrease of $11, 1928, 9S1. In
Guiding the public debt, the total receipts
on all accounts were S720, 516,625, and
the expenditures $71O,472,1 57. A fur
Their sum of SOL ISL, 700 was deposited
in the treasury prior to the end of June
on account of a purchase of gold coin to
maintain the reserve, but was not for
mally covered in, and therefore does not
appear in the accounts for the current
fiscal year.
At the close Of business on June 30,
1894, there stood charged to the treas
urer on the books of the department a
balance of 1888, 565, $40. Adding to this
the receipts for the year from all sources
gives 81, 494, OS2, 165 as the total to be ac-
counted for, and deducting the expen-
ditures leaves a balance of $733,610,008
on June 80, 1895.
Aside from the variations In the total
stock of gold in the country which are
dependent upon the domestic production

tons and exports of the metal, the next
most important change now going on
in the composition of the money supply,
arises, the report says, from the gradual
retirement of the treasury notes of 1890,
through their redemption in silver dol
lars. BY this process, which began in
August, 1898, and has continued since,
the total issue of $155, 931, 0O2 of these
notes was reduced by September 20,
1895, to SAB, $3.50, $50.
The amount of national bank notes re-
ceived for redemption was nearly $751;
100000. of which $35, 900, 900, fit for
circulation, were returned to the banks
of issue. Inclusive of charges for trans
portation, salaries, stationery and con-
tingent expenses, the total costs of the
redemptions for the year were 500, 352,
which have been assessed upon tie banks
at the rate of $1.15 per $1,000 of notes
redeemed. The deposits on account of
the reduction or retirement of national
bank circulation amounted during the
year to $12,056, 172, and their redemption
on the same account to S13. O6S. 633.

EUGENE Y. DEBBS R E
Last Night in Prison a Busy One
for the Great Strike
Leader.

Woodstock, H., Nov. 22.-When the
clock struck II last night Eugene V.
Deus was a free man. He was in bed
in the cell in the Woodstock Qll.) jail
which he had occupied for 1853 days when
his time of freedom came, but he did not
get up and celebrate it, nor demand his
immediate release. He said last night
he would stay in his cell bed until 5
o'clock this morning.
Debs' last day as a prisoner was u
busy one for the great strike leader, and
he put in his time packing his trunks
and filling boxes with letters, newspapers,
books and hundreds of other things, val
liable and otherwise, which had been ac-
cumulated by him during his incarcera-
tion. Most of his time, however, was en-
gagged in his speech on Liberty" which
he will deliver this evening at Battery d.
There have been requests from all the
big cities for addresses by him, but he
will deliver none before January s, for
which date he has accepted an invitation
to speak in Milwaukee.

SENATOR SHERMAN'S DEFEAT.
Due to Failure to Incorporate a Tenn
perance Plank.

Raleigh, n. c., Nov. 23.-"The primary
aus for the defeat of Senator Sherman
for the presidential nomination in 1888
was the failure of the committee on
resolutions of the National Republican
convention to insert in the platform a
declaration in favor of prohibition, or
squarely against the liquar traffic, such
as would have secured the cheerful and
hearty cooperation of the prohibition
and temperance people throughout the
United States said j. c.. L. Harris of
this city in an interview. Mr.. Harris
was a delegate in 1888 to the National
Republican convention from this, the
Fourth Congressional district of this
state. He voted for Mr.. Sherman on
every ballot and was acting chairman
of the delegation. He gave a detailed
history of the proceedings of the com
mittee and the convention. He said
the temperance people were pretty gen
orally for Sherman and that ever after
their defeat in the committee on resolu-
tons they rallied and would have nomi-
mated the candidate of Ohio, but some
