Butte. Mont. April 19.-The arrest.
today. of E. L. Spalding a Salvation
army leader. on the charge of counter
feiting. has resulted in the discovery
of what is probably one of the most ex-
tensive counterfeiting schemes I'M
earthed by the United States authors
ties in a long time.
For more than year. the town and
the state have been flooded with coun-
terfeit silver dollars and spurious SO
pieces. Several months ago a young
locksmith was arrested and several
dies were found in his possession. but
since then the circulation of counter
felt coin has increased.
Strange Disappearance.
The testimony upon which Spalding
was arrested was given by young
man named Haidlow. who Immediately
disappeared and the United States Off
GERS are doing everything to find him.
Haidlow's statement was that Spald-
ing is one of the men who put in cir
culation the stuff after it is coined. and
that the counterfeiting is done in a
secret tunnel near the city by a. gang
of desperate men. He said there were
ten men in the gang, and among them
several men with a national reputation
as counterfeiters. and who have long
been wanted by the government Off
GERS. Haidlow offered to conduct an
officer into the underground mint and
introduce him as pal. and all arrange
ments for the trip were made, but
Haidlow did not show up again. The
officers are inclined to the belief that
Haidlow has been made away with by
the fcounterfeiters. who became aware
that he had peached.
Found as Indicated.
He told the officers lot of counter
felt dollars could be found in the
chimney Of an old variety theatre.
where it had been dumped by one OF
the men who thought himself hard
pressed. The stuff was found today as
he had indicated. Several arrests have
recently been made on testimony fur
nished by him. and in each case coun-
terfeit money was found on the persons
arrested, so that the officers are in
clined to place considerable credit in
his story about the underground mint.
A request has been sent to Washing
ton for the assistance of a secret SER
vice officer in ferreting out the counter
feiters.

THE OIL FURRY.
STANDARD MADE MANY PURCHASES
YESTERDAY.
London Times Looks Upon the Rise
as Positive Assurance of the
Revival of Trade.

Pittsburg, April 19.-Oil opened sat
2.40, and in the first half hour slumped
off to go bid. Standard reduced its
price for credit balances 20 cents to
2,4O. Oil recovered 3. points, and at
1890 stood at 2.25 bid for May option.
Cash oil sold for 2.25 There was
scarcely ANY trading on exchange,
the buyers being afraid and the hold
ers waiting for a revival.
The price did not fiuctuate much.
and at noon stood at 1925. Trading
was very dull here. but more active
in Oil City, where $4,000 barrels cash
oil changed hands at S223@$225. The
brokers are at a loss now what to
expect, though the fact that the
Standard has made a reduction in its
price for credit balances would argue
for a decline.
Oil closed at 2.2O today, and the
Standard picked the exchange Of
about all the certificates that were
left to trade on. Everybody who
could have sold out to the Standard.
John D. Barbour, a prominent broker,
expressed the situation in this way:
The Standard wanted to squeeze out
the certificate holders, and it has done
it. There is not a bit of ammunition
left for the exchange"

A CHARMED CAVE
HORRIBLE DISCOVERY MADE BY A
SHEEP HERDER.
man Beings, Who Were Doubtless
Killed By Bandits.

Chilpanzingo. State Of Guerrero, Mex
leo, April IA shepherder named An
tonic Vincent has discovered horrible
charnel cave of human remains near the
village of Quechultenango. Over hun
dred skulls were counted, piled with
their bones into one great heap not far
from the highway leading from the
City. of Mexico to Acapulco, on the Pacific
coast Tie herder's story has been cor
roborated by others whom he has guided
to the cave 1t is supposed the remains
are the CHASTITY souvenirs of one of the
numerous attacks made on the travellers
and whole caravans of freighters in past
decades. AS yet no clew whatever has
been developed which tends to throw
light upon the identity of the pile of
bones.
The cave is under an overhanging
bluff, a few rods from the main road.
Small trees and brush choke the en-
trance. One story is to the effect that in
the SOS bandits, led by the noted revo-
lutionist Juan Vargas, attacked richly
laden train of wagons, heavily guarded.
Strangely enough, the bandits seemd to
carry off the dead with them, and dill
gent search revealed no trace of the vic
tins. The discovery seems t. unravel
the mystery Of the d;saI. pearance of this
and other caravans. The governor of
the state will probably take official -arS
ton in the case and order full inyesti-
cation.

The Times, View.

London, April 19.-Tn it's financial
article. this morning. the Times, in
discussing the revival of trade in
America, and its effect on the rail-
roads, says: -
THE rise in petroleum is largely
due to manipulation, but it would be a
mistake to treat it as uninportan nit.
as it is an evidence of the revival of
trade, for petroleum, like many other
articles. has been unduly depressed
for some time. The Standard Oil COM
bination had taken advantage OF the
situation. which arose from ordinary
economic causes, and it is unlikely
that the price will return to it's for
mer low level. A substantial rise in
wheat and cotton would benefit the
United States greatly. and probably
turn exchange in favor of America,
and thus stop gold being shipped to
Europe, even after the gold bonds
sold in Europe have gone home. The
prospects of improved trade are hope
full. both here and in America, but the
currency question is still an element
of danger. The success Of the bond
issue may make people forget it was
merely a palliative. No permanent
good will be done unless the period of
grace secured by the issue is utilized.
The maturing heavy installment of
the gold loan caused no difficulty in
money rates. which were unchanged

Bradford, Pa. April ia large
crowd of men stood about the pur-
chasing offices of the pipe lines this
morning, before 10 o'clock, awaiting
the next turn in the oil situation.
When 240 was announced as the price
for today, murmur of disappotnt-
ment was heard, and the crowd dis
persed. The excitement of the past
ten days has subsidized, and business
is going along as usual. Oil men who
came to town to watch the fuctua-
lions. have returned to their business,
and are working like beavers to get
out what oil they can while the pres
emit prices remain. The Baviard and

Miss Taber says that she missed the

that Miss Williams visited her some
