The correspondence ends with a letter. dated
June 90 from Secretary Olney to Sir Julian
Pauncefote in which he replies to Lord Sails
burv's note OF May IL. He says that. while this
Government In unable to concur In all the
soning or conclusions Of Lord Salisbury. II Is
both impressed and gratified at the earnest and
serious attention which the important subject
under discussion Is evidently receiving and cx-
PRESSES the hope that persistent effort in the line
Of the pending negotiations will have results
which II not all that the enthusiastic advo-
Gates OF international arbitration anticipate will
ne a decided advance upon anything heretofore
achieved in that direction.
He finds that Lord Salsburys dispatch dis
cards all general phraseology and makes a clear
distinction between uncomfortable or territorial
controversies and all others The advantages OF
this sharp division line. he thinks. are very great
and the fact that II has been drawn shows that
the progress OF the discussion is eliminating all
but the vital points OF difference.
REAL AND IMITATION ARBITRATION.
Secretary Olney then proceeds to show that II
Lord Salisbury's plan Of rejecting an award
could be permitted there would be no real arbi-
tration at ell. He insists that the acceptance
should come In advance. The American plan Is
to reserve the right not to go into arbitration
II the territorial claim In dispute involves Ma
tional honor and integrity. The British propos-
ais also reserve this right The vital difference
he says, is that under the British plan the par
ties enter into an arbitration and determine
afterward, when they know the result whether

THE WAGES OF SIN.
The Wounded Burglar in Long Island Hospital
Dies With Lie Upon.
His Lips.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 24,-Charles Jen-
kins alias John Clark, one of the most
notorious bank and postoffice burglars in
the country, died in the Long Island hos
pital this morning as the result of a
wound received while attempting to rob
the -postofiice and general store of Walter
y. Adams at Bedford Station, N. Y, last
wednesday night. Jenkins was one of
gang of four thieves who tried to loot the
postoffice there. Two of his compa Mons,
Peter James and .Dick" Byrnes, were
shot and severely wounded by Mr. Ad-
ans and his son. and were captured on
the spot. Another of his confederates
escaped and is still at large. Jenkins re-
ceived bullet wound in the arm, but
managed to elude capture al. the time
Thursday night about 9 o'clock he came
to the Long Island college hospital In
this city and asked to have his wound
dressed He had wandered about for
nearly eighteen hours without having his
injuries cared for He told the doctors
that he had accidentally shot himself
while hunting. The physicians disbe-

sketob of the Appointee.

st. Louis, Aug. 24.-David Rowland
Francis, the successor Hon. Hoke Smith
as secretary of the interior, was born of
Scotch-Irish parents in Richmond, KY,
October l, 1850. Supplementing his COM
mon school education in Kentucky he
graduated from Washington university
in this city in 1870 with the degree of
bachelor of arts. After three years ap-
premiership in commercial life he or
.ganized the d. r.. Francis e. Bro. Com
mission company, which Is still the lead
ing firm operating at the merchants ex

In 1888 he was elected vice president of
the exchange and the following year was
chosen president He has been lifelong
democrat and in 1884 was a delegate to
the convention that nominated Mr..
Cleveland for president. The following
year he was elected mayor of ST. Louis
by 1400 majority, overcoming a former
republican majority of 14.000. Long
needed reforms fiourished under his ad-
ministration. In 1888 he was elected gov
ernor of Missouri by one of the heaviest
majorities ever achieved by his party in
Missouri, and his wise conduct of the Of
flee is still a criterion. Prior to the Chi
cago convention this year he was promi-

men and took leading part in the effort
to beat back the rising tide of silver ag-

STACKS OF SUGGESTIONS
Have Been Forwarded to Brer Bynum for
His August Attention.
WHILE MANY HAVE FORWARDED DRAFTS
Not of the Bankable Sort, However-Hon.
Abram 8. Hewitt Wakes Up and
Says the Constitution Has
Been Assailed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 24.-The plat
form of the national democratic party is
in course of forma tion. Chairman By
mum of the executive committee has
stack of letters from some of the most
prominent democrats of the country MAX
dng suggestions on this subject and some
of them have forwarded complete drafts
of pla atforms embodying their views.
These he will turn over to the resolutions
committee to be appointed by the con-
vention in order that ii may have the
benefit of it in drawing up platforms
In letter concerning this subject the
venerable Abram S. Hewitt, ex-mayor
and eX-congreSsman of New York, -ex-
pressed himself thus: my views are
substantially that there Is but one issue
to be presented to the people of the
United States. The democratic conven-
ton al Chicago made a distinct decara-
tion of war upon the constitution of the
United States The issue, therefore, is
not financial or economic, but 1t concerns
the perpetuity of republican institutions.
In the presence of this issue all other
questions sink into nsignifcance-just as
they did when the civil war threatened
the existence of the government. l think,
therefore, that the constitution should be
made the prominent If not the sole, topic
for the consideration of the convention.
1t seems to me that If the people can be
made to see that the bulwark of their lib-
erty is assailed in it's most Vulnerable
point, and that the overthrow of the con-
stitution will lead first to anarchy and
then to despotism in order to save social
order, the response will be so emphatic
as to make 1t Impossible for the enemies
of the constitution to make any head
waV.'

Montgomery. Aug. 24.-(Special IA
personal encounter occurred on the
streets here today between Hon. Frank
p. Glass, editor of the Advertiser, and
Hon. james Nunnellee, editor of the Sell
ma Times.
1t appears that Mr. Nunnellee was
standing talking to group of gentlemen
when Mr.. Glass came up. Mr. Nunnellee
extended his hand and Mr.. Glass failed
to take 1t, remarking that he had heard
Nunnellee had pronounced him a boter-
a worse bolter than Kob. Nunnellee
frankly admitted that he entertained that
opinion, whereupon Glass struck him.
Nunnellee responded by striking the Ad-
vertiser's editor in the face, knocking him
down and springing on him.
Bystanders separated the gentlemen af-
ter they had arisen. Mr. Glass is said
to have hit Mr.. Nunnellee with his cane.
The trouble was allowed to proceed no
further. however, and 1t is thought that
the matter will end here.

A GOOD SHOWING.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Has No Reason
to Complain of Hard Times.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The report of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway for 1896,
which has been submitted by President
M. E. ingalls,, is a most favorable Show
ing considering the disadvantages under
which railroads in all sections OF the
country have labored for the past year.
First of all, the report shows that the
gross earnings of the road have reached
$40, 221 ,131, sum which has not been ex-
ceeded save in 1893, when the Worlds
fair was in progress at Chicago, ana
even in that year the excess was only
about 100000 The careful management
which is now a marked feature OF the
road is shown in the fact that while the
receipts have increased, the percentage
of operating expenses is only 1 per cent
greater than for the past two years and
per cent less than in 1892.
The net earnings were the largest in
the history of the company.
In physical condition the property mas
been fully maintained and improved. The
company has had no construction ac-
count during the year in the operating
department. and the policy heretofore es-
tablshed of enlarging all additions and
betterments to operating expenses has
been continued. The company laid 10000
tons of new rails at a cost of $129, ,223.
The company has operated its own line
by way of Lexington, KY, into Louisville
since April 1, but the earnings and ex-
penses of that division have been kept
separately. So far the contract has not
proved burden, and it is believed that 1t
will be a profitable one in the future. In
terest charges for the coming fiscal year
of 1S96-97. including interest of the Az
per cent bonds now in the treasury,
amount to $3,133471, an increase OF $IS30
over the charges of last year.

PRESIDED OVER THE BRYAN RATIFICATION

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 24.-John E.
Hartridge, who represents this county in
the state senate, and who says ne is a
candidate to succeed United States Sen
ator Call is out in card boiling Bryan
and Sewall and the democratic platform.
Hartridge is very vituperative in his
statements in regard to the Chicago plat
form, denouncing it as dishonest, an
archistic and revolutionary"
Hartridge's bolt places him in a pecu-
liar position. He was delegate to the
state convention and worked to have the
financial question relegated to Chicago
and with other delegates pledged himself
to abide the action taken by the national
democracy. Some weeks ago a great
Bryan ratification meeting was held in
Jacksonville, over which Hartridge pre-
sided, and later on he was a member of
the county convention which adopted
resolutions indorsing Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. But for these things Hart
ridges bolt would have excited little sur
prise, as he is the attorney for the Plant
system of railroads in this state.

lieved his story, and notified the police.
The latter identified him as a notorious
thief, and Immediately connected him
with the Bedford Station job. Persons
from that place who had seen the robbers
came to the hospital and positively iden-
titled Jenkins ias one of the robbers.
The physicians in the hospital perform
ed several operations on the wounded
mans arm, but because of his long neg
lect of the wound blood poison set in and
he died this morning.
Two detectives stood by the dying man
until he expired. They told him he was
dying and that this would be his last
chance to tell what he knew. He replied:
II know 1 am dying; feel it. won't live
long, but all can say is 1 told you the
truth. I was shot accidentally by a
friend in Long Branch. l will never tell
his name, because l promised not to do
so.'
He admitted that he knew James, the
burglar in Mount Kisco jail, but denied
that he had gone with him to Bedford.
The attempted robbery at Bedford sta
ton has already cost two lives, those of
Walker B. Adams, the postmaster at that
place, and Charles Jenkins, the burglar.
Byrnes and James, the other wounded
burglars, are in a precarious condition
and likely to- die at any time.

SHANGHAI TRICKAT MOBILE
The Sailors Build Raft and Get to Shore.
The Captain Shoots One
of Them

Mobile, Aug. 24.-There was trouble
down on board the British ship George
T. Hay, Captain Spicer, on Thursday
because of an alleged effort made by
sailor boarding house keepers to
shanghai some sailors on board the
vessel, in which it is reported that they
were assisted by the captain and the
mate. The "Shanghaied" men refused
to remain on the vessel and some of them
proceeded to make good their escape.
This they did by building a raft during
the night and getting to Fort Morgan.
Friday the captain of the Hay went
ashore on the government reservation at
Fort Morgan and, finding a sailor named
Hollie Stein there, he proceeded to be-
labor him with cane. The sailor claims

Anplled tor loan Certificates.

New York, Aug. 24.-The clearing house
loan committee met this morning 1t is
known that the National Bank of Com
merce, one of the strongest institutions in
the city, made application for loan certif-
icates. This bank has no use for the cer-
tifcates itself, but will take them to help
smaller concerns. The committee ad-
journed shortly after IL o'clock without
taking any action.
The committee will meet again tomor-
row. 1t was announced that no applica-
tions were received beyond the tentative
request made by the National Bank of
Commerce, which is contingent upon 9TH
ers being made.
If clearing house loan certificates are
issued collateral pledged as security for
them will be received at rs per cent of its
market value. Interest at the rate of 6
per cent will be charged on the certifi-
Gates while they are outstanding and in
addition a commission of one-sixteenth
of l per cent will be exacted.
