MISTOOK HIS MAN.
How the President of Switzerland
Once Camped Out.


An amusing story is told of the late ex-
President Scnenk of Switzerland. Unlike
other potentates of Europe, lie has been
known for years past TO spend his annual
vacations in tramping among the Alps, with
one or more of his sons.
Thus during the year ofhis last presidency,
1898, he started off with two sons upon a
tramp through one of the adjacent mount ain
provinces or France, and, as he was wont
TO do, took aloEg the requisite camping ma
terlal, such as is used by the army of
Switzerland when enga ged in annual man
euvers.
Arriving late one evening In the suburbs
of a village, they proceeded to put up their
tent and prepare for supper, when the gen
darnIe of the place came up and ordered
them away, OF first proceed to the mayor
under arrest and secure permit.
President Schenk, although somewhat ia
tigued, at once strapped on his knapsack
and accompanied the officer to the mayor,
rather amused than vexed by the turn
things had taken. Upon being confronted
by the mayor, President Schenk presented
his passport, signed by himself, and duly
authenticated by the French ambassador at
Berne, Count I-aufrey, which referred to
the bearer as ''his eXcellency, the presi-
dent of the Swiss confederation"
At first the mayor seemed quite dunn
founded, but, recovering himself at once,
in the most obsequious manner, begged the
president to excuse the action of the pO-
lice officer and fairly pleaded to have him
accept tue hospitality of the town, lest it
might be said his corporation had failed to
becomingly honor SO distinguished guest.
But President Schenk, in his habitual good
humor. soon quieted the agitated mayor,
and assured him the highest honor that
could be offered to him would be to let him
do as he pleased, and it would please him
most to be allowed to camp out with his
party. as had all along been his practice,
when upon his annual vacation tranps.
President Schenk, as usual, slept In his
tent that night upon an open field.

A MIDSUMMER CABINET MEETING
Mysterious Confab OF the Powers That
BE in Washington.

Mysterious Confab OF the Powers That
BE in Washington.
Washington, July 19.--For the first
time in many years there was a mid
summer cabinet meeting in Washing
ton in the absence of the president.
Secretary of State Olney apparently
came to Washington from Falmouth
for the express purpose, for he arrived
this noon and will leave the city tomor-
row morning.
Secretary Olney called at the war
department soon after his arrival at the
state department to talk with Secretary
Lamont. The latter was absent at the
time and he failed to attend the cabinet
meeting which was held later, although
an effort was made to summon him by
telephone. Secretary Herbert next re-
ceived a visit and about o'clock the
pair walked over to the state depart
ment and were closeted in the office
of Secretary Olney. Here they were
Joined in the course of an hour by Sec
rotary Bissell and Attorney General

phone into conference. This lasted
fully two hours and from time to time

was called into the room to advise the
cabinet as to some point under dis
cuSSon.
Whatever was the subject considered
could not be learned and 1t was re-
solved to keep the proceedings secret,
for each of the persons present as they
emerged from the office, declined to
answer a single question touching their
| deliberations.

A BOYCOTT OF NATIONAL BANKS
SoNereign'S Latest Manifesto TO the

soNerelgn's Latest Manifesto to the
People who Countenance Him.
Washington, July 19.-The Times to-
day prints the outlines of a manifesto
to be issued by Master Workman Sove-
reign of the X. of L. for boycott of
all national banks. 1t will be addressed
to the knights of Labor. Farmers AL
lance, Peoples Party Reform Club, and
kindred societies, reciting the wrongs
of the toiling thousands and their suf-
ferings at the hands of money-making
powers and calls for a boycott of
national bank notes in all dealings be-
tween individuals. 1t is to go into eff
feet September l.
BANKS WOULDN'T CARE.
Washington, July 19.-At the treasury
department 1t was said the plan of Mr.
sovereign for the Knights of Labor
boycotting national bank notes. If car
ried out, would prove more harmful
than beneficial to the labor interests
of the country, as it would contract
the currency to the extent of s211, O00.-
900 without injuring national banks.
1t would not hurt the banks at ALL"
said Q. p. Tucker, deputy comptroller
of the currency. IF the people should
refuse to receive their notes the banks
would present them to the United
States treasury for redemption and re-
ceive legal tender notes which they
would continue to use in their business.
There are only $211 100000 Of national
BANK notes in circulation, while there
are $950000,000 of other kinds of money
outstanding"

when the bill was put on passage. Horr
said there was In the bill of which Har-
vey had spoken a provision for a token
dollar worth five francs. The senate
struck that out and substituted the
trade dollar
CAN'T SHOW PROOFS.
Harvey-"If you will show me any
where in the debate of that day where
the senate struck out that provision
we will stop the debate right here"
Great applause from Harvey's friends.)
Horr-"The bill as it passed contained
the trade dollar, did it not?"
Harvey-"Yes SIR"
Horr suggested that that covered the
point and proceeded with his argu-
ment. He said nobody thought of strk-
ing down silver when the bill was pass
ed. At that time silver was not in cir
culation and the bullion in dollar was
worth more than a dollar.
Harvey coming back to the attack
read from Senator Shermans state
ment on putting the bill on Its passage,
showing the bill provided for two dol
lars, SS4 grain dollar, equal to the
French five franc piece and a trade
dollar. He declared Horn had said this
smaller dollar was not in the bill Horr
interrupting said he never denied it.
Harvey said he would refer the .ques-
ton in dispute to the record of the day.
Resuming, Harvey said the conspir-
acy was carried out in the conference
committee. Sherman and Harper re-
ported to their respective houses that
the differences had been defined and the
bill was passed without debate. The
bill as reported omitted the 3S4 grain
dollar.
Horn said he did not deny the exist
ence of the 3S4 grain dollar in the bill.
but at no time did the bill provide for
anything except gold as a standard.
The matter of a small dollar was agreed
on in the conference committee as is
the custom, but the committee could not
enact anything. 1t had to report to
| the two houses, and their action was
necessary. The bill as passed with the
| addition of the trade dollar was nearly
| identical with the bill as drawn by the
secretary of the treasury. The attempt
| to smirch the character of the mem
bers of congress who voted for this bill
was infamous. (Applause.)

Chicago, July 20.-Search for the body
of the missing Williams girl was begun
early today in the house Of Englewood.
formerly occupied by the alleged muir
derer, w. H. Holmes. Yesterdays develop
ments led to the belief that evidences OF
the supposed crime were concealed some
where about the house. and the suspicion
of the neighbors anu detectives pointed
strongly towards a large cellar in which
a disagreeable odor mad been detected.
Every inch of the ground will be dug up.
The examination of the large crate OF
Holmes stove today resulted in another
startling discovery, when two charred
bones resembling human ribs were found
among the ashes. The finding of the sup
posed ribs, with a burned woman's shoe
buttons and pieces of cloth was consider
ed by the police as practically proving
that at least portion of the body OF the
woman had been cremated. The stove
Is about six feet high and four feet IN d.
ameter, and would easily hold body.
Late this afternoon a bunch of human
hair was found in the chimney of the
Holmes house by newspaper reporters.
The police were notified. and upon exam
nation the hair was pronounced that OF
woman. The appearance OF the locks
led to the belief that they had been burn
ed from the head and drawn up the stove
pipe.
Workmen who were digging in the eel
lar encountered an obstruction which ex-
ploded with terrific force, seriously In
juring four men.
The men were searching for hidden
well in which 1t was thought the bodies
might have been buried. When the well
was opened quantity of gas rushed
out into the cellar. overpowering the men.
One of the laborers rushed to their as
sstance, and striking a match an explo-
sion followed. Four men were carried out
badly burned, but contrary to first reports
it is not thought any were fatally hurt.
Search was Immediately resumed by an
other force.
THE MYSTERIOUS HATCH.
Philadelphia, July 20.-The Press today
publishes an interview with W. III. Holmes
who says he can prove an alibi with refer
ence to the murder of the Pietzel children
in Toronto and that the authorities here
can not prove that PietZel was murdered
in this city. He insists that Hatch, who
says he was engaged In fur smuggling
with him, is not myth, as the detectives
say, and he could tell what became of Miss
Williams and the Pietzel children, as when
Holmes saw them last Hatch was with
them and was to see them off for Europe.
