''Then came an application for financial
assistance, but the whole matter had a
fishy look and l didn't respond. I sus-
pected the young man on account of his
manner in approaching the question of
monetary accommodation. 1t had too
much of the professional beat in it.
AFTER reading the account in The CALL
of how Mr.. Cumming and others had been
approached l compared my sons letter
with these and found that they were all in
the same handwriting. The youthful con-
hdence operator seems to have worded his
letters very much the same, the only
change being in the name of his alleged
uncle. Sometimes j. is written Fisher and
sometimes Fiske. But that makes no
difference now, for | think THE CALL has
spoiled his little game.''

was all she had.

you tell anybody about this we will find
means of shooting you." The other rob-
Der released his hold of the bride, and she
drove on.
After the robbers had disappeared she
recovered from her scare, and drove back
until she meta policeman and told him
that she had been robbed, and then she
drove home.
She said that both footpads were young
men, but in the darkness she was unable
to obtain anything like good description
of them.
Both Captain Gillin and Lieutenant
Burke were asked last night if the two
tootpads had been arrested, but they pro-
tessed utter ignorance of the affair. On
being pressed they would neither affirm
nor deny it. 1t was learned from another
source that men were specially detailed to
search for the footpads.

MUST STICK TO OPEN SEAS.
The DaunAIess Can't Come Home For
While.

Brunswick, Ca, Aug. 17.-No news
from the outside has reached Brunswick
to-day IN regard to the supposed cruise Of
the fihbustering tug Dauntless. but In the
custom house interesting information re-
garding her has been obtained.
The department has ordered the collec-
tor to board the Dauntless, on her return
TO this port, and obtain full information
regarding the cruise she is now on, and
a full inspection of everything and I'm ad-
dition to confer with the United States
district attorney.
The Interpretation of this order means
practically the seizure of the tug, and the
custody Of herself and crew until a thor
ough examination Of the case has been
made by the government authorities.
Speculation is ripe and centers on the
ownership of the tug. for on them any
loss will fail, and 1t promises to be heavy.
unless fair showing can be made to the
government.
Unless the Dauntless changes her own
ers on the high seas or did change them,
or surrenders her enrolment and license
for the coasting trade for a register per-
mitting trade with foreign countries. ana
in addition to this latter proviso, cleared
IN a regular manner from some customs
district before leaving this country. she
ing several thousand dollars for such neg
lect, provided, of course, that proof Is
obtained on her.
In addition, the surgeon general has or
dered her detained at quarantine, and II
she attempts to enter at the custom house
without a signed bill of health from the
United States consul at the foreign nor.
she is from, a 5000 fine will be imposed
for violation OF the quarantine regula-
tions.
The popular supposition that the Daunt-
less carried an expedition from Bruns-
wick Is Incorrect. She merely took on a
cargo of cereals and provisions here for
a long voyage, and there was nothing
very unusual in that. No evidence was
obtained to warrant her detention on sus-
picion until after her departure, and il was
in St. Marys customs district that she took
on men and material which constituted
an expedition, and warranted her seizure.
The officers of the customs district Of
ST. Mary are removed from the Daunt-
less starting point, and her movements
were so quietly planned that It is not prob
able that anything was known of her
there.

SILVER SWEEPS THE WEST.
Messrs Bacon and Bland Give Their
Impressions.

Washington, Aug. 1T.-Senator Bacon OF
Georgia Is here and had a conference
at the committee rooms to-day with the
party leaders. He says that he has just
returned from trip TO the Pacific coast,
and finds all the coast, from the Pa
cifio 10 the Mississippi river, about as
enthusiastic for the democratic ticket and
the free coinage platform, upon which
its candidate had planted his banner. as
people can be. Senator Bacon declared
that the party will have no trouble in
carrying the whole Of that part Of the
country for the ticket.
Mr.. Bland gave the committee one of his
characteristic talks, and laughed at the
claims OF the republicans that they will
carry his state. THE democratic ticket. -
ne said, was good for a majority of at
least 1900 to 5000 in Missouri Every
western state in Ike manner, he said,
was loyal TO the cause of free silver.
and they will cast their votes that way.
including Illinois and Indiana
After the conference was over Mr. Bland
was asked if he could say anything about
the rumors that the headquarters We're
taken to Chicago against the protest OF
the chairman and other members OF the
committee because OF the preference OF
Mrs. Bryan.
Mr.. Bland raised his hands depreeating-
ly al the question, and stated that he had
nothing 10 say on the subject, not even
denying that he knew anything about T.
To the committee Mr.. Bland gave the
most hearty assurances that they will
carry the whole western country and stat
ed his belief in the triumphant election
of Mr.. Bryan. He offered his services I'd
the chairman IN the most unreserved
manner, and it is not unlikely that "Sil-
yer Dick" will be heard from as the cam
paign progresses.
Chairman Jones leaves for Chicagc
Tuesday or Wednesday for the purpose
OF arranging for headquarters. Just what
building win be occupied he does not
know. He said this afternoon that he
offered Gov. Stone of Missouri a place or
the campaign committee, but that tho
governor had declined it, because OF The
fact that he could not do that work ant
still maintain the Office Of governor Of his
state. He would be compelled to give 1T
one or the other; for that reason he pre-
/ ferred not to go on the campaign com
mittee. This committee Will not find its
work child's play, said Senator Jones.
The republican committee are preparin,
extracts from all Of Mr.. Bryan's free trad
speeches delivered while a member of tn,
House, and will issue them as a cam
paign document. A large number of re
quests have been received for the publ
cation. Several letters received state tina
the speeches will prevent many of thos
believing in free silver from voting 70
Bryan if 1T can be demonstrated that h
favors absolute free trade.

THE RAILROAD RATE WAR.
Arguments of Counsel Heard on the
Jurisdiction of the Court.

Jurisdiction of the Court.
Greenville, S. c., Aug 1.-THE argument
in the rate case before Judge Simonton
was resumed to-day. Col. Henderson,
general counsel for the southern taking
up the issue favoring the jurisdiction
of the court Judge Henderson maintain
ed that the cut of 35 per cent. by the Sea
Board Air Line was for the purpose Of
preventing the Southern from putting on
a competing line of steamboats, from
Baltimore to Portsmouth. The cut was
not because of the new rate was just
and fair one. but to prevent competition
upon the ocean. The purpose was unlaw-
full and affected the acts. This cut would
disturb the rates of all other railroads
in the territory, and they have the right
to complain, and this court has a right
in this application to restrain the un-
lawful act. This court has the power
to restrain any act working injuries to
others when the act itself is for unlawful
purposes.
Gen. Watts took up the cause for the
Seaboard Air Line, arguing against the
constitution of the court.

Now Well I'D In Years.
Weham. Mass. Aug. 17.-Mary Abigail
Dodge C'Gal HAmilton'O died at s:55
o'clock tonight without regainlng con-
sclousness since she was stricken Sunday
morning.
Miss Dodge was born in Massachusetts,
sixty-1ve years ago. The last syllable
of her Christian name, Abigail, name of
the town. Hamilton, in which she was
born, form her literary pseudonyme, Gail
Hamilton, under which she earned her
laurels. She has tried nearly every field
OF literature, from fiction to philosophy.
The book which created the greatest SEN
satlon was "Woman's Wrongs" publish
ed In 1868, in answer to the Rev. John
Todd, who wrote a series Of rather SEN
timenta1 articles on "Woman's Rights"
at that time first beginning to be an abb
sOrbing subject. In her reply Gail Ham
ilton used terse and vigorous Anglo
Saxon, and the successes of her little book
made DIR. Toddd widely read and talked
about. The first successful of her books Is
a novel, First Love Is Best" Her
first book was published in 1862. Since
then she has written continuously. For
q time, from 1865 to 1867. she was one of
the editors of "Our Young Folks a chill
dren's magazine published in Boston,
which subsequently became a part of '5t

OF "The National Era" When political
fortune brought Mr.. Blaine to the capital
Miss Dodge became a member Of his
household, and until his death spent her
winters here. Her presence was a fea-

Has Not That Power.

Has Not That Power.
Washington D. c., Aug. IL It seems
that an erroneous impression exists that
the populist committee meeting called
for tomorrow is one of the national COM
mittee whereas it is simply a meeting
Of the the executive committee, consist
ing of nine members, as follows: Mar
ion Butler of North Carolina, chairman;
NJ. c. Rankin of Indiana, treasurer; J.
A. Edgerton of Nebraska, secretary;
George f. Washburn of Massachusetts,,
H. w. Reed OF Georgia, D. c. F. Taylor
of Pennsylvania. ]. r. Sovereign of Ar
kansas, w. Briedenthal of Kansas and
John Dore of California Messrs.
Bdgerton, Reed and Washburn are al
ready here. The business before the
committee Is the selection of national
headquarters and the mapping out of the
plan of campaign. 1t may be determined
to call a meeting of the full national
committee for some future day to consid-
er matters over which the executive
committee has no jurisdiction.
The executive committee can take no
action looking to the removal of Mr..
Watson as a vice presidential candidate
and the substition Of Mr.. SeWall having
no authority in the premises. The ma
tional committee alone could do any
thing definite in that matter, having
been given the same powers as the con-
vention which nominated him.
No prediction can be made as to the Sc
lection of headquarters. The eastern and
southern members of the executive COM
mittee are said to favor Washington, while
the western members are favorably dis
posed towards Chicago, the opinion in each
instance being based on the accessibility
of the point. Five Of nine members live
nearer Chicago than Washington.
