Slattly, Kansas City Bank
Wrecker, Sentenced.
He Must Don the Stripes for
His Transgressions.
ROBBED 10 THOUSAND.
Supreme Court Takes Away His
Very Last Chance.
Verdict of the Trial Court is
Well Sustained.

KANSAS CITY, No, Dec. 4.-The SUI
preme court of the state of Missouri,
at jefferson City. affirmed the judg-
ment of the court that tried and SEN
fenced Elmer C. Sattley, the cashier
of the wrecked Kansas City Safe De-
post and Savings bank, and he will
now be compelled to enter the peni-
Tertiary to begin his four years term.
Attorney General Walker telegraphed
the decision of the court to Hon. Mar
cy K Brown, who, as prosecuting at
torney, proceeded against Sattley in
one of the largest criminal court trials
on record anywhere. Mr.. Brown at
once conferred with Chief of Police
Irwin, and the latter sent telegram
to the chief of police of Chicago,
where Sattley is, to place him under
arrest Immediately.
Pending the decision of Sattleys
appeal to the supreme court, he has
been out on 81 c, 900 bonds in this case
alone, and has been holding a clerk
ship with relative doing an insur-
ance business in Chicago. Last night
telegram was received by Chief Ir-
win from the Chicago chief that Sat
tley had been arrested, and that he
would return to Missouri without the

Oyer 10, 900 depositors, mostly poor
people, who had entrusted their saw
ings to the bank, were the sufferers
by the robbery, which was the most
outrageous and barefaced in the his
tory OF financial institutions. Since
the failure of the bank in 1898 depos-
itors have only been paid five per
cent of their deposits, and it is a grave
question if they will receive much
more. 1t is asserted with some degree
of positiveness that they will be lucky
if they get another dividend of five
per cent, so completely were the re-
sources and assets of the bank eaten
up by its officers

Resolutions introduced Declaring 1t
Settled American Policy.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts introduced the fol-
lowing resolution relative to the Mon
roe doctrine:
That the Congress of the United
States deems it proper to assert, as
principle in which the rights and in
terests of the United States are in
volved, that the American contin ents,
by the free and independent condition
which they have assumed and main
tanned, are henceforth not to be con-
sidered as subjects for future colonial
ton by any European powers.
Resolved, That we should consider
any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With the existing col
onies or dependencies of any European
power we have not interfered and
shall not interfere, but with she gov
ernmentS who have declared their in
dependence and main tained it, and
whose independence we have, on great
consideration and on just principles,
acknowledged, we could not view any
interposition with a view of Cypress
ing them or controlling in any other
manner, their destiny, by any Euro
pean power, in any other light than
as the manifestation OF an unfriendly
disposition toward the United States.
Resolved, That in accordance with
the doctrine laid down by President
Monroe, as st"ted in the preceding
resolutions, the United States declares
that it proposes to maintain the prin-
ciples embodied in that doctrine, and
Will regard any infringement of it or
any attempt on the part of any Euro
pean power to take or acquire new
territory on the American continent.
whether under the pretense of bound
airy disputes or otherwise, as an act of
hostility to the United States.
Resolved, That the President be re-
quested to communicate these resolu-
lions to the governments of all ma
tions with whom we have relations of
amity and commerce.
Senator Cullom, republican, ILL
nois, also intoduced a resolution enun-
ciating the Monroe doctrine.

STOLE THE FUNDS.
Big Sensation in Democratic Political Cir

Big Sensation in Democratic Political Cir
cIes in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec 4-Three-quarters of
q million dollars have been stolen
from the campaign fund of the Demo
cratic party raised for the years 1893,
1894 and the spring of 1895. This
charge is made by NJ c. Mcdonald
and Alderman John Powers. It is sus-
tanned by the newly elected chairman
of the County Central committee,
Thomas Gahan, in the statement that
the funds of the past two years have
not been accounted for.
The money was raised for the cam
paign which resulted in the election
Of John ?. Hopkins over George B.
Swift. as mayor; for the county com
missioners' campaign following; for
the aldermanic campaign; for the
Wenter contest and for the drainage
channel campaign but recently closed.
The Democratic administration of
the Central committee, born out of the
assassination of Carter Harrison, is
charged with the misuse of this
money. And, for this misuse, no ex-
planatlon is at present forthcoming
from the Democratic citizens who
stand under the charge of having
taken the money for their own per-
sonal benefit, involving, in its expend-
lture, trips to Europe, to West Baden
and to Hot Springs, and the building
of various expensive residences in diff
ferent parts of the city.

PITTsBURG, Dec. "A. G. Edwards,
editor of the Coming Nation, a paper
published in the interest of the Ruskin
colony, which exists on the cooperative
plan at Tennessee City, is here presuma-
bly, in the interest of the colony, which is
currently reported to be on the decline.
Editor Edwards scheme, it is reported,

companied by Attorney ]. H. Stevenson,
is busy addressing, small gatherings of
workmen and industriously dsnouncing
capitalists.
When Mr.. Edwards was asked if the
Ruskin colony was broken up, he re
piled: "No. sir. 1t is true we have forty
families located at Tennessee City. l do
not know that they are to be removed to
Pittsburg. A few people who do not
like cooperation may leave Us, but the

Mr.. Edwards, in his speech delivered
at Trenhauser's hall, spoke about
having been in Sewickley on Saturday
and admired the fine homes there, but he
reminded the poor that they were not for

PRESIDENT Financial Utterances Seem to
Suit, But Not the Foreign Policy.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The newspapers
very generally contain editorial com
ments upon President Cleveland's
message to congress.
The Graphic says: 'sThe crudities
and indiscretions of President Cleve-
lands present pronunciamento on for
eign affairs might have been evolved
by the late Mr.. Blaine in his worst
mood. Can anything be more absurd
than the proposal that the Schomberg
line lin Venezuela) should be sub
mitted for arbitration? The reference
to Cuba is infinitely more injudicious.
1t is virtually an expression of SYM
pathy with filibustering.
The Times editoriallv says: f'Pres-
ident Cleveland has drawn a startling
picture of the difficulties created by
the vicious currency system, and he
should be greatly surprised if the plans
he suggested are not warmly well
coined by the business men through
out the States But, flushed by cleo
trail victories, it is probable enough
that the Republicans will refuse to
allow ything to be done in the direc-
ton Indicated"
The Daily News. the Liberal organ,
says: president Cleveland knows bet
ter than to treat the Monroe doctrine
as if it were a rule of international
law. 1t is neither digni6ed nor polite
for the administration at Washington
to take up the quarrels of South Amer
lean communities which do not OBJ
serve the usages of civilized nations.
America will find some day that this
sort of patronage involves cores
ponding responsibility, and they will
not like that at all

PERRY, Ok, Dec. 4.-Dr. C. J. STAINS
by has fled a petition for divorce from
his wife, Elizabeth j. Stansby, in the
district court here. The doctor swears
that he and his wife were married in
Bermuda island in 1874, and that his
wife left him two years ago and is now
a resident of Santa, Chill. The
grounds for divorce are extreme bad
temper and jealousy. He says his
practice as physician and surgeon on
the island was enormous, but his wife
objected to his having female patients,
and when he insisted that be must
take all classes in practice she beat
him and talked about his business to
such an extent as to ruin it.
