Mexico Cannot Aid the Blandftes.
MEXICO CITY. Feb 1.-THE general
opinion is that the attempt of the free silver
men of the United States to reach free
coinage by the channel Of Mexican coins is
not worthy of serious consideration. 1t is
doubtful if it could be successfully oper-
ated under any circumstances, but aside
from this is The fact, of which the free
silver men seem to be ignorant. that the
Mexican mints are no longer coming silver

scribed by three wealthy residents of
the city for the fitting out of the expe-
dition, the payment of recruits and the
landing of them on the island. These
men, Mr.. Andrews says, have been in
communication with Cuban partiots
who have agreed, in payment Of the aid
furnished, to deed valuable lands to the
Chicagoans who extend the aid.
According to Mr.. Andrews the men
will be drilled when they reach the
south. The batteries and infantry, he
says, will be recruited in Kansas City.

is said that Fitzsimmons has declared

Dallas unless he is ''let in" ON certain
concessions ON which he believes large
sum of money will be realized. 1t is
said that he accuses Brady, Corbett,
Joe Vendig and Stewart, of Dallas,
with gobbling up everything in sight,
from the lemonade-stand to the kinete-
scope, with which it is intended to re-
produce the fight throughout the coun-
try. 1t is the latter concession that
Bob is especially jealous of and it is
said that he has made formal de.
mand for percentage of the profits on
it, otherwise he declares there will be
no fight.

DUNRAVEN'S OFFER.
He Will Pension Each of His Crew il
They Win the Cup.

He will Pension Each of His Crew il
They Win the Cup.
New York, Sept. lathe statement
is made that Lord Dunraven offered a
pension of so shillings weekly to every
member of the crew of the Valkyrie
should they succeed in winning the
American cup. In an address to the
sailors and their commander he said:
while feel satisfied every man
will do his duty, am anxious to en-
courage you to exert your services to
the utmost to win the remaining series
With that end in view, desire to say
if the cup goes back to England by rea-
son of your seamanship, 1 will pension
every man for life and pay each of you
80 shillings SO long as each one of you
lives"
Accuated by common impulse, the
crew broke out into cheers. Lord Dun
raven again impressed them with his
ambition to snatch the victory from
what now appears certain defeat and
then retired. The men afterward held
an informal meeting and discussed the
offer. Although they declined to talk,
it was clear from their manner that
they had entered into a compact to
strain every nerve to win.
Dunraven's action is without prece-
dent, either considered by itself or
from the standpoint of generosity. 1t
is the ambition of his life to place in
the hands of his queen the trophy that
passed out of the possession of England
nearly half century ago. The ages
of the twenty-six members of his crew
will average 80 years. They are all
strong and healthy, and their expecta-
ton for life may be set at 70 years.
In that time they will each have re-
ceived 8, 1870 pounds sterling, or $751;
600, and in the aggregate 82,16O
pounds, or $500, 800.

Youngstown, o., Sept. 13.--At a
meeting of the Pittsburg branch of the
general conference of the English
Lutheran church, which has just ended,
a sensational move was made against a
Youngstown Lutheran minister, Rev.
WA. Tope. An attempt was made to
enforce the clause of the church con-
stitution which provides that no min.
lister of that church shall be member
of secret society which is "unchris-
tian or infidel in its tendencies" The
attempt to enforce was failure, be-
cause a majority of the ministers were
themselves members of secret societies.
The Rev. Mr.. Tope belongs to four,
and says he will so continue until con-
WINGED that he is wrong.

most business men, Harry Witt, was
searched and large quantities of SNUG
gled goods were discovered. He is a
Justice of the peace, notary public
and foreign consul. The customs
officials are very active, and further
captures are expected. The detectives
believe they are only now commencing
to discover the extent Of the smuggling
carried on here in recent years. The
only difficulty now facing the depart
ment is the inertness of the govern
ment. The board of revenue threatens
to resign if the cases are not investi-
gated to the bottom. Several govern
ment leaders oppose this.

Bids on the New Torpedo Boats.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Bids were
opened today at the navy department
for building three seagoing torpedo
boats of about 1870 tons each and
twenty-six knots speed. The bids,
which were each for one boat, were as
follows: Moran Bros. & Co., Seattle,
$163, $50; Wolff & Zwicker iron works,
Portland, Or, $168, ZOO; Union iron
works, San Francisco, $4,000.
The Herreshoff Manufacturing Com
pany, of Bristol, R. l., bid $144, 900
for one, or three at the same rate, on
plans of their own. The act of con-
gress provides that the three boats
should be distributed among the estab-
lishments of the coast, the Gulf and
the Mississippi river, if the cost should
be fair, otherwise, the secretary may
give the contracts elsewhere. As the
department has reserved $25, 900 from
the $175,0 appropriated for each boat
for armament, leaving $3.50, 900 avail.
able, and all of the Western bids are
in excess of this allotment, the con.
tract may go to the Herrshoffs if their
plans are practicable.

First Steps Toward the Prosecution of
the Insurance Swindler.

First Steps Toward the Prosecution of
the Insurance Swindler.
Richmond, Mo-, Sept. 12.-The first
steps toward the prosecution of DIR. G,
W. Fraker was taken, when the pris-
oner was brought before Justice Nc
Cuiston to answer to the charge of OBJ
tanning life insurance money by false
pretense. The charge was preferred
by G. S. Van Vanderberg, representing
the Kansas Mutual Life Association of
Topeka, Kan. The charge, stripped of
its legal verbiage, reads that on the
10th of May, 1892, and on the goth day
of February, 1898, the defendant, Fra
ker, obtained from the Mutual Life
Association two policies of insurance
of IS, 900 each and that on the 10th
day of July, 1898, he attempted to de-
fraud the association by pretending to
lose his life by drowning in the Mis-
souri, river. DIR. Fraker pleaded not
guilty to the charge.
The state was not ready to go into
examination, and by consent the pre-
liminary hearing was fixed for Tues
day, September II. Fraker seems con-
tent with his surroundings and says he
will be out on bail in a week.

New York Central Establishes New
Railroad Record.
New York, Sept 13.-The New

worlds record in the running of fast
tains on long-distance schedule. This
morning at $40 o'clock special train
of four cars, under the direct control of
George H. Daniels, passenger agent of
the road, left the Grand Central depot.
1t arrived at Albany at 7;54:55, max
ing the run of 143 miles in 1865 Ia

its train today being nearly twice the
weight of the English racing trains. A
private car was attached at Buffalo,
and the train was started back for New
York, where it is expected to arrive to-
night This, if done, will be equiva.
lent to the run from New York to Chi.

Cleveland, Sept. 13.-Today's ses-

discussion of proposed changes in the
regalias of officers and men. Some
radical changes were adopted in this
direction. While vote has not yet

The supreme court took final action on
the question of changing the name OF
the order, and it now stands 1.-THE Or.
der of Foresters of America. The
word Ancient" was dropped, because
the organization is American, and
America is not ancient.
