Another Bond Call.

CHICAGO, Jan. ga special to the
Post from Washington says the slump OF
81 900, 900 in the gold reserve at one clip
led to an entire revision of the treasury
plans. All thought of long wait before
another bond call has been suddenly
and spontaneously abandoned. It is
now question of days, or even hours,
instead of weeks. Secretary Carlisle
authorized the statement that no an
nouncement with regard to bond call
would be made today, and in the same
breath followed the further proclamation
that the. first of next week, possibly
Monday, the public would be officially
informed of the determination to issue
500, 900, 900 bonds on the basis of S11S per
cent.
NEW YoRK, Jan. Set is understood
in New York that the secretary of the
treasury will issue a call for $50, 600, 900
4 per cent bonds next Monday. The
only contingency which might prevent
the attempt and change the programme
would be the agreement of the leaders in
congress upon some financial measure
which would be satisfactory to the ad-
ministration.

THREATENED PULLMAN's LIFE
Did an Insane Man Who Was Arrested
in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The life of Geo. NJ.
Pullman and that of ]. B. Griffin, the
manager of the Pullman building in this
city. were menaced by an insane man
tonight. Both men were to have been
shot and killed on or before the 18th and
9th of the month. The delay of the
maniac in making up his mind who should
be the first victim gave the police time to
arrest him. The prisoner is William
Shedman, who has been employed as a
window cleaner around the Pullman
yards. A woman fortune teller is at
present held responsible for the sugges-
tion that placed the lives of the men in
jeopardy, and the police are now endeav-
oring to find her and ask why she advises
her patrons to commit murder.
Tonight word was brought to Manager
Griffin that Sherman was going about the
building making threats to kill him and
Mr.. Pullman. Griffin sent word to the
police and officers found Sherman and ar
rested him. He says that during the af-
ternoon he had consulted a fortune tell
or because he was unable to sleep. The
woman told him that he was troubled by
secret enemies, and that unless he killed
them before November 1S or q they
would him. She described the men to
him and the descriptions were those of
Pullman and Griffin. The man was pal
pably insane. He was removed to the de-
tention hospital.

ANTI-LYNCH LAW MEETING.
The People of Boston Fairly Boil Over
With Indignation.

Boston, Nov. PA meeting was held
here today to take action on the lynch
ing of negroes in the South.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the various colored societies OF
Boston and vicinity. The speeches were
by both white and colored men and were
vigorously applauded. Mayor Edwin ID.
Curtis presided. and among the speakers
were Congressman elijah Morse, Judge
Edwards Walker and Mather Sully. AT
the conclusion of the speeches Hon. Geo.
Browning presented the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted unanimously:
1--WE condemn without any reservation
the lynching, the mutilation, the roasting
alive of men and women now commonly
practiced in parts Of our country, SO COM
monty practiced as to arrest the atten-
tion of the world; we condemn this God
defying heartlessness with most indig-
nant feelings as civilized beings, as citi-
zens with patriotism, moving as Chris
tians. We are as human civilized be-
ings, as proud Americans, made to hold
our heads down in shame because OF the
almost daily reports which reach us OF
beings born in the image of God thrust
into consuming fires, with all the .conse-
auent agonies with the outraged piteous-
for mercy, protesting their innocence,
even while in the very jaws of death,
while gazing imploringly-th is, If their
eyes have not been gouged out-upon
men, women and children, assembled
from miles around to witness and gloat
over Gods image, sc0ffed at while writh-
ing in agony.
stand in the way of just punishment
of all crimes, but the law Of the land
must be respected in melting out such
punishment. All persons charged with
crimes are entitled to fair trial before
jury of their peers.
'sThe heartless, blood-thirsty disregard
of the supreme law of the land must
cease: Massachusetts declares II; she
calls upon all lovers OF law and order TO
rise in their might and majesty and say
amen to the declaration. She takes no
part in the falsehood that the negro race
| Ia more immoral than are other races
that they are rapists. II Is her firm con-
yiction that the charge is false; that 1t
is manufactured to appeal to a sentiment
calculated to cover up and paliiate 10
great extent the burning alive OF black
men-the real design being concealed
which is to crush the lawful growing as
prations manifesting itself among black
men. :.
eve invoke the uncompromising spirit
of Garrison of Phillips, of Sumner, OF
Andrews. and in their names to those
defiers of God and humanity cry out
stop this brutality which darkens our
Nations fair name; adding that II It can
not be stopped, the imperi0us spirit OF
Crispus Attucks, of John Brown, who
is still marching on, will in its march
haunt into action"

New York, Nov. 12.-J. j. Quinn, the
manager of Peter Maher, who knocked
out O'Donnell so handily last night, has
made statement in behalf of the fighter.
He says:
"Maher challenges any man in the
world to fight for the championship, and
he will not put the stakes so high that
no one except man with three million
aires behind him can accept.
"Maher will fight for $4,000 in public
or private, and he will go to any place to
do battle, South Africa not barred. Pc
ter claims that he has as much right to
the title of champion as any one man, and
he is particularly anxious to meet Fitz-
simmons"
Quinn said that Maher would not chal-
lenge Corbett, because Corbett asked him
as personal favor not to do so, as he
had retired
Maher goes to Philadelphia to visit
friends and will then be ready to meet
all comers. The Irish champion is but
26 years of age and weighed 10 pounds
on the night of the fight.

there has been terrible bloodshed
