1T appears from the report OF the
proceeding Of the legislature that the
comptroller OF the currency is liable
to be in contempt of the legislature,
and what is more he does not care.
The legislature wanted to investigate
the records of the acknowledgements
bank and see If there was any crook
edness in the action Of the last leg
islature in selecting that bank as a
territorial depository. Comptroller
Eckels refused to let the committee
look at the books. If the legislature
could get Mr.. Eckles 10 the territory
they would probably lock him up in
the bank vault till he showed up the
papers.

Monday night when the west bound
passenger train arrived at STEMS Pass,
twenty miles west Of here, a couple Of
men captured the engine. One Gov
cred Engineer Bruce, and the other
took Fireman Johnson back TO cut of
the express a r Fireman Johnson,
who was 10 the Wilcox hold up, Is
getting used to train robberies, and
carries his nerve with him. Instead
OF cutting of the express car he cut of
in front OF IL, leaving IL with the train,
and then took to the brush. The
robber ran back TO the engine got up
with his companion and told Engineer
Bruce TO pull out, which he did with
considerable alacraty, induced by the
appearance OF the s%ixshOOters the men
had. Only the mail car was attached
to the engine. In the rear Of this car
were the Wells-Fargo lighting men,
who have been travelling owe the
road for more than a month. They
discovered that the train was in the
hands OF the robbers, and opened the
doors, expecting to get the robbers
when they came back to the express
car, which they supposed was attached.
The robbers found out they had been
fooled and told Bruce TO stop and let
them of and then go back and get his
train. The fighting men did not dis
cover that the express car was missing
until the train started backward.
They succeeded in getting back with
the mail car without any further risk,
when the train was coupled together
and proceeded about its business.
News Of the attempted robbery was
Immediately te~legraphed here and to
Tucson. Constable Hardin gathered
a posse consisting of Billy Hart, Dick
Harrison and Geo. Harris, with horses.
In company with several others they
were put on a car and started for
Stems Pass to rescue the imperiled
lighting men. Before they got there
an eccentric strap on the engine was
broken, and the train was delayed
some twenty minutes while Engineer
Miller fixed it up. They got to the
Pass just as the passenger train was
pulling out. Fireman johnson recog-
nized the men as the same two that
held him up at Wilcox. Detective
Breckenridge with men from Benson
and Wilcox arrived during The night
and as soon as it was daylight the men
started to work trailing the robbers.
there are a great many horses in the
vicinity of the Pass, and after hunting
all day the men had to give up the job
and go home, having been utterly un-
able to distinguish the trails Of the
loose horses from those rode by the
robbers.

DoND ISSUE rnEDIoATED.
Statement of Charles !. Hutchinson,
Chicago Bank President.

NhhcuEO Hnnk president.
Chicago, Ill. Sept n-Charles l.. Hutch
ison, presidentiof the Corn Exchange Bank
of this city, said to-day: Il have It on
the best authority from New York thar
another issue Of bonds has been arranged
for between the government and the Nor
gan-Belmont syndicate. / received the
information yesterday ard 1 understand
the only delay in issuing the new batch
Of bonds is on account OF the amount. /
believe President Cleveland desires to sell
only S25,000000 worth Of bonds now, while
the syndicate wants the issue to be at
least $JO,O00,0O0. / know nothing Of the
proposed terms, but / expect the an
nouncement Of the loan viii be made In
day or so. I do not think the issue
Of more bonds will have any effect on
the general business. 1t may depress the
price Of securities temporarily, but thar
would not make much difference"
Chicago bankers interviewed to-day
said they saw no cause for alarm In the
increasing shipments Of gold to Europe
All said the countrys commercial condi-
tion was good, and that there was no
danger OF recurrence of the 1893 panic
on account of the impairment Of the gold
reserve in the treasury
LaClede, Mo-. Sept. H.-Hon. r. F.
Bland addressed 10000 people here to-day
al the opening of the county fair and in
a talk to reporter on the GOLD situation
he said:
''The present indications are that there
will be another bond issue and possibly
the exports Of our cotton and wheat may
lessen the demand for gold abroad. AS
soon as this Is over. however, the gold
will begin to go abroad again and an
other issue of bonds viii take place. The
finances Of the country under the gold
standard are I'm deplorable condition.
''rhe talk that gold will go TO a premium
under the free coinage of silver IS no
argument against silver for every bond
sale means a premium on gold. We are
paying a premium on gold every time we
sell bonds to procure It. Gold is at a pre-
MUM here and at a premium in Europe.
The premium is really levied on the
masses here by the issuance Of interest
bearing bonds"

Steele ON wALLER's CASE.
Statement of u Paris journal That
His Case Is Lost.


His Case Is Lost.
Paris, Sept. 1.-THE Steele says the
United States government had received
complete explanations as to matter of Of
fense, persecution and sentence of ex-
United States Consul Waller, which show
that his case is irretrievably lost.
Washington, Sept. 1.-State department
officials know nothing of the information
respecting the Waller case professed to
have been obtained by the Steele of Paris,
and cannot understand the basis for the
claim that Walters cause has been ire
trievably lost" They attach no import
ance to the alleged news.
The record and proceedings of the court
martial are not due in France until
about the end of the month, according to
statements made by the French ministry
for foreign affairs to Ambassador Eustis,
and if it be true that they are in Paris,
it is said that the French ministry will
find some embarrassment in explaining its
statement given out that they would not
be due for more than a week yet, the
steamer supposed to be bearing them hav-
ing reached Alden, on the Red Sea, on
Sept. u.
AS a matter of general average any ap-
parently exclusive item of foreign news
published in any Partisan newspaper can
be classed as a fabrication destitute of
foundation in fact. There have been no
breaks in this record so far as officials
here have been able to observe.

Police Announce the Chain of Evil
dence Against Durrnnt as Complete
San Francisco. Sept. 14.--The police in
vesugation of the murder OF Blanche La
mont is ended. After more than FIVE
months incessant work the detectives
have finished the chain of evidence against
Theodore Durrant, and The prosecution
has nothing to do now but present the
facts to the jury.
The prosecution has scored another inn
portant witness. 1t is Ms James Cros-
sett, who lives at the corfer of Washing
ton and Laurel streets. Mrs. CrUssetts
testimony viii be very damaging to the
albi which the defense e,tects to provide
for Durrant but IT viii be py no means as
convincing as would be supposed from the
story circulated yesterday concerning the
evidence she would furnis.i. Hitherto the
prosecution has had no witness who saw,
or claimed to have seen Durrant and
Blanche Lamont togetherabetwen the cor
ner Of Powell and Market streets and
Twenty-hfth and Bartlett7 II is to con-
meet this break in the prQsecutions chain
Of circumstantial evidnoee hat Mrs. Cros-
sett Is expected to supply the missinng
link f
She will testify that she aw Durrant on
the Valencia street. c2r W en- the points
named on the aftarDr ~ pril 3, but
this is as FAR as HSr lGs ~ serves her
She does not remember whether he was
accompanied by lady, or if he was she
does not know who it could have been.
She processes to know nothing further
than that she saw the accused on the car
and says the other details of the reported
accounts of the testimony she would give
an entirely untrue
Mrs. Crossett is able to fix the day by
reason of the fact that she had attended
a tea party that afternoon, and was on
her way to the mission. She rode on the
Powell street car and transferred at Mar
| ket to the Valencia street line. AS she
entered the car she saw Durrant already
aboard. She says he did not recognize
her. as has been stated, nor did sne speak
to him. She left the car at Twenty
street, instead of Twenty street;
did not stop on the curb to shake hands
with Durrant and was not presented to
Blanche Lamont, as has also been stated.
Mrs Crossett arrived at the residence
of her son, James F. Crossett at a few
minutes past 4 o'clock; thus il must have
been about the time Durrant is supposed
to have made the journey to the mission
with Blanche Lamont that she saw him
on the car. Her testimony therefore In
definite as It may be, will serve as
strong card for the prosecution in its effort
to trace the steps of the prisoner and
his supposed victim from the normal
school to Emanuel church.
The Crossett family are warm friends
of the Durrants, and because of this and
the indefinite character Of the old ladys
knowledge, they feared she might have
been mistaken and endeavored to keep
the matter secret in the hope that she
would not be called upon to testify.

SAVANNAH PUBLIC BUILDING.
Secretary CarIisIe's correspondence
with Contractors Miles & Brndt.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 1.-secretary
Carlisle to-day wrote a letter to Repre-
sentative Lester giving him the result
Of the departments correspondence with
Messrs. Miles & Bradt relative to the
Savannah public building.
After frequent conferences between Sec
retary Carlisle and Col. Lester, the seere-
tary proposd TO Messrs. Miles & Bradt that
they waive their rights under the con-
tract recently awarded them and also that
they allow their bid to construct the build
ing In marble stand. until the subject could
be properly presented to congress with
view to securing an additional apprOpria-
tion to complete the building In accord
ance with the desire of the citizens of Sa-
vannah It was made perfectly clear that
If congress concluded 10 act favorably
upon the request Of Col. Lester, the pres
ent contractors would be fairly dealt with.
In reply to the secretary's proposition,
Messrs Miles q Bradt stated that they
would be willing to suspend work under
their present contract until Jan. J., next.
TO enable Col. Lester TO make an effort
for an Increased appropriation. 1t seems
they are not willing to go beyond that
date although the secretary states that
congress Will not have had time TO act
upon Col. Testers suggestion 10y Jan. ],
as the committees Of congress viii hardly
have been formed or in working order by
that time.
Under the circumstances, the secretary
says he cannot compel the contractors to
yield any further and the concession they
are disposed to make viii avail nothing.
In view of the fact that the contractors
are willing to grant a stay of proceed
ings until Jan. I, they might easily go a
little further and give Col. Lester rea-
sOnable time 10 bring the matter before
the newly-organzed congress. A few
weeks additional would not in any way
Interfere with their rights under tho
present contract, and II congress should
make the additional appropriation, IL
could easily be arranged to award them
the contract at their marble figures. They
are perfectly secure In their present POSI-
tion, and they have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by trying to crafty
the people of Savannah
Secretary Carlisle has demonstrated his
| friendliness toward an increased appro-
priation and he win surely recommend il
to congress. Col. Lester Is familiar with
the methods to be employed to obtain the
assistance OF congress, and his influence
with his associates as sufficient guaran-
tee that he will be successful, providing
the contractors Will not press their ac-
knowledged rights with undue severity.

three, are being inferred to-day. Every

In addition to the thirty killed in the

the mines of the upper peninsula of Mich
