RAID ON A COINERS' MINT,
Secret Service Officers at Last
Capture the Chicago
CounterfeiterS.
Five of the Gang Arrested and a
Portion Of their Outfit
Secured.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 15.-As the result
of the raids made at an early hour this
morning by Captain Porter of the United
States Secret Service. assisted by six
officers, Pasquela Garofalo, his son, Mate
Mario, Gerlardo Diciffeo and Michael Am
brosia, members of an extensive counter
feiting gang, are under arrest. The raid
came about through talk which Captain
Porter had last Thursday night with Con-
stable Bergamo, an Italian, who said he
had discovered gang of Italian counter
feiters who made money like merchandise,
and that the mint" was located in the
northwestern part Of the city.
The first arrest was made at 1S5 Ewing
street, where Diciffeo was taken in and a
spurious quarter of dollar found. AT 529
Clark street Ambrosia was captured. The
best evidence, however, was obtained at
1912 West Nineteenth street. In the attic
was found a portion of the plant 1t had
been dismantled and some of the material
for the finished coins and part of the molds
had been destroyed. In closet was
found plaster of paris and on shelf a
handful of genuine coins, all marked with
bits of plaster, indicating that they were
the pattern pieces.
Garofalo, his son, and Mario, were about
to leave the place when the officers ar
rived.

SAN FRANC|SCO'S CHANCES
May Get One or Both National
Conventions With Little
Effort.
Six Eastern Cities Now Engaged In
a Warm Campaign for
the Honor.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-Severai
Eastern cities have already taken steps
toward securing one or both of the National
conventions. The prospects are that the
Atlantic Coast and Eastern cities will put
up better fight than ever before. AS far
as heard from, there are six Eastern
aspirants for the honor of entertaining one
or both of the conventions, viz: New
York, Buffalo, Saratoga, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington. 1t seems to
be the general impression that it will
develop into something of a sectional
fight, with the "gold bugs" for some
Eastern city and the silver men contending
in favor of some place west of the Missouri
River.
A general feeling prevails in Washing
ton, and it seems to be shared by the East
ern press, that Chicago has had ner fair
share of honor in this line, and some other
place should be selected by each pa rty.
Chicago has had eight National conven-
tions-fve Republican and three Demo-
cratic.
Baltimore is going to try for the Demo-
cratic convention. Prior to 1872 that city
had entertained thirteen conventions
eight Democratic and five Whig or Repub-
lican-and Greeley was nominated there in
1872, making fourteen in all that were held
there. There has been only one National
convention held in New York City, and
th at by the Democrats in 1858.
Cincinnati has had four conventions
the last by the Democrats in 1880. The
Democrats met in st. Louis twice. The
Republicans and Know-Nothings held
their convention in Philadelphia in 1856,
the Wings having met there in 1S48. The
last National convention held there was
by Republicans in 1872.
The question OF an auditorium with ade-
quate seating capacity may not cut much
figure in selecting the next Democratic
convention place. At the last Democratic
convention resolution was passed recon-
mending to the National Democratic COM
mittee that delegates, alternates and
press representatives be admitted. If
the National Committee follows directions,
the public at large will not be admitted, so
the question of hall with sufficient seat
ing capacity will not be an important fac
tor. If the general public was to be ex-
cluded, few other than de legates and press
representatives will make the trip, and
this would be of advantage to San Fran
cisco if her citizens are desirous of enter
tanning the Democratic as well as the Re-
publican Convention. The National Re-
publican Committee may likewise limit
the admission to the convention hall to
delegates, alternates and representatives
of the press.

TRAGEDY ON A STREET.

THE CRIME PREMEDITATED.
Sensational End of a Scandal In

MEMPHIS, TENN, July 15.-Jacob

John D. White, leading local physician.
tonight. The tragedy occurred on the
most prominent section of Main street, on
the sidewalk in front of D. H. Baldwin's s
music store in which Rothschild was chief
salesman.
About ten minutes prior to the shooting
White went into the store, intercepting
his victim Just as he was leaving for the
day. The two turned into the store, sat
down and engaged in a conversation which
appeared to be friendly. Finally they
walked out, and, just after reaching the
sidewalk, White evidentally gave mortal
offense, for his companion, usually mild
hammered and peaceable man, struck at
him with a small pocket-knife. In an in
slant, the doctor, holding a pistol close to
his side, fired two shots.
The tragedy was caused by well-con-
nected and widely known young woman,
and was the result of insane jealousy on
the doctors part, though he isa man of
family His victim is also married man,
but his wife and two children live in

the woman about their existence. To the
contrary he had led her to believe he was
single.
On Tuesday night last, while Rothschild
was calling on the young woman, White
sent her a note by messenger reading as
follows:
Tell your friend to meet me on the corner of
Mulberry and Beale streets and I will settle
with him.
Upon the receipt of this it was shown TO
Rothschild by her, and he changed his
mind about leaving, as he was preparing
to do, and remained in the house until 4
O. clock in the morning. At that time he
did not even know the doctor by sight, so
the young woman states, but the next
morning he called at his office and formed
his acquaintance.
Every circumstance prompts the conclu-
sion that it was as deliberately planned a
murder as was ever perpetrated. Chief of
Police Mosely was escorting the prisoner to
the station when they met a man, who, adj
dressing the doctor, said:

A PLOT FOR MILLIONS,
Lawyer Paige's Grave Charges
Against John w. Foster
and Others.
Accusd Of Attempting to Mulct the
Government Through the
Mora Claim.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 15.-A Wash.
ington special to a morning paper says:
Spain's payment of the Mora claim as
indicated by cable will at last defeat the
intrigues of American and foreign claim
sharks. For years a coterie of diplomats
at Washington and Madrid have sought to
make the payment of this historic award
conditional on the acknowledgment of
counter claims by the United States.
The story of all this plotting TO mulct
the Government of millions brings to light
serious diplomatic scandal, and shows
how the Mora claims have secretly been
made to figure as an important incident in
a scheme for securing the transfer OF Cuba
to the United States. Nathaniel Paige, the
well-known international lawyer. who for
years represented the Mora family, fur
nished documents, cablegrams, kilograms
and letters which seem to throw food of
light on the obstruction interposed to pre-
vent the payment of the Mora award.
Paige specifically charges ex-Secretary
of State and ex-Minister to Spain John w.
Foster with opposing this award. Foster
has denied the charge, and Paige now
comes forward with papers which he
claims substantiate the charges. Paige,
however, charges that several Spanish
Ministers TO the country, as well as at
taches of the French legation, obstructed
the Mora interests and tried to induce him
to press claims they held, and hold back
the Mora claims.
Paige says that the opposition, which
has gone on for years, began when the
syndicate OF American capitalists, during
the Grant administration, attempted to
carry out shrewd scheme to secure Cuba.
This scheme was not founded on patriotic
sentiments, but on profit. as Mr.. Paige
shows. In brief, the original scheme as
set forth in document lately filed in the
State Department, and now made public
for the first time, was for an Amer
lean syndicate to loan Spain $780,
00U, 900, the payment of the principal
and interest of which were to be guaran-
teed by the United States, and the loan to
be secured by pledge by Spain for the
revenues Of Cuba and Porto Rico and a
mortgage on the sovereignty OF the island.
In case of default in payment of either
principal, interest or any portion thereof
for period of ninety days after either
shall fall due Spain was TO lose all sove-
reignty over either island, which would
thereby be transferred 10 the United
States.
If Spain defaulted the United States
would have to pay the enormous debt
which Spain owes Cuba on account of out
RACES in the island. In addition the United
States would also be obliged to pay the
$150,0O0,000 to Spain and guaranteed by
this Government. If this were the out
come the United States would become re-
sponsible for the claims growing out of
Cuban outrages and the claim sharks
would reap rich harvest.
The Mora claim, Mr.. Paige says, was
opposed because it might lead to strained
relations between Spain and the United
States

RIVALS AT CLOSE RANGE,
Cleveland and Harrison Select
the Same Spot for an
Outing.
Island in One of the Fulton
Lakes.

OLD FORGE, n. Y, July 15.-President
Cleveland and his rival in two political
campaigns, Benjamin Harrison, will be on
Fulton chain of lakes for at least month
this summer. To-day Captain Sweet of
the steamer Stowen received letter stat
ing the President and Mrs. Cleveland, to-
gether with their children, would arrive
there about August Is. The President
has not selected his quarters as yet, and it
is not definitely known where he will stay.
DR.. Nichols of st. Louis has a cottage in
the first lake, directly opposite Dodd's
Camp, where General Harrison is, and as
he will not be here for some time it is be-
heved the President will occupy it. Prepar-
ations for his stav are now being made.
Henry J. Mowry of Syracuse, one of
President Cleveland intimate friends, is at
Forge House now, and he told The United
Press correspondent to-day that he expects
to be here the remainder of the summer.
When President Cleveland arrives here he
will be but short distance from General
Harrison. The Adirondack League Club
expects each of the distinguished gentle
men to hunt deer in their park.
1t became known to-day that during
General Harrison's stay here there is like
lihood of some big political talk being
INDUCED in by the leading lights of
the Republican party. According to a
weIl-defned rumor it appears that an
effort will be made while General
Harrison is here to have the warning fac
tions in the Republican party in this State
meet here and endeavor to have their diff
ferences settled. 1t is the intention to try
to have General Harrison act as peace
maker, and he will be asked to make a
speech for the Republican State ticket be-
fore he goes TO Indianapolis. General Har-
rison is averse to talking politics now, but
when the leaders in his party in this State
come here he may change his mind.
Mrs. Mckee telegraphed her father to-
day that she will not be. able to start for
this place ON Wednesday. No date has
yet been fixed for their arrival.

Change in the British Ministry May Bene-
fit the Prisoner.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 15.--Noth-
ing has been received at the State Depart
ment, officially or otherwise, to indicate
the reported resumption of the efforts
made in this country to secure pardon
for Mrs Maybrick, now serving sentence
for the poisoning OF her husband, in whose
case "Gail Hamilton" took so strong an
interest. 1t is suggested, however. that
the recent change in the British Ministry
may cause Mrs. MAVERICKS friends in
America to renew their efforts with the
new Home Secretary, who has charge OF
such cases, with better prospects OF sue
cess.
The last communication on the subject
was received at the State Department
year ago. A discouraging feature Of the
situation is that both a Tory and Liberal
Ministry have refused to recommend par
don for Mrs. Maybrick during the terms of
office as Home Secretary of Messrs. Mat
thews and Asquith.
