MARK HANNA SAYS
That Financial Relief Can Only Come
Through Republican Party.

IhrOugh KepuDl1can ParCy.
Cleveland, July S.-Senator e. C.
VOORHEES, and Colonel L. L. Brownell Of
California were visitors to Mark Hanna
to-day. They came to lay before Mr..
Hanna the necessity of making Califor-
mia the battle-ground of the Mckinley
fight, claiming it is the pivotal state.
They said free silver now had the call.
Senator Voorhees, said:
I'VE want Mr.. Hanna and the rest Of
the national committee to put McKin-
ley's position on the financial prob
lem before them in such way that
they will turn out and work for Nc
Kinley. They will have a hard fight
on their hands and 1t will take diplo-
macy to carry the state for Mckinley.
-Four years ago the republicans
imagined they had a cinch, did not
work and the democrats carried every
thing. Much depends upon the action
Of the democratic convention. II Tel
er declares for free silver and protec-
ton and runs on an independent ticket
he will carry all the Pacific slope states
besides the interior western states.
Such a move would prove disastrous
to McKinley's success
In discussing the question Mark
Hanna said: "Silver men from the Pa
cific coast and far western states will
learn to their sorroy if they support a
democratic presidential candidate that
they will never get any financial relief
unless it comes from the republican
party"

her by the throat One bound a hand
kerchief over her eyes while the other
quickly tied her hands behind her.
Another rope was passed around her
feet. She was roughly forced into a
chair and bound fast in sitting posi-
tion. All the While she was kept cover
ed with a revolver by one or the other
of the men, and threatened her with
instant death If she made an outcry
The taller of the two took from q
satchel whicn he had With him gag
which was forced down the woman's S
throat. The robbers then set about
their real mission, that of looting the
house. &They went from room to room
emptying bureau drawers, turning the
contents out of every kind of cabinet
upon the floor. They secured $500 in
cash and some few articles Of jewelry
which they loaded into their grip and
hastened from the house. admonishing
Mrs. Gordon TO maintain a strict 81
lence. The trio departed in the direc-
tion of Stony Creek.
Sometime after Mr. CowIes, a neigh
Dor, heard groans as he was passing
the house. On making an investiga-
tion he found Mrs. Gordon vainly en-
deayoring to release herself from the
chair, in which she was still fast. He
fastened to assist her When loosened

seemed greatly overcome by the ex-
perience she had had The authorities
In Branford and New Haven were no
tied. and later the police in all the sur
rounding towns Were asked to keep a
close watch for the robbers.
George Gordon is well-to-do farmer,
who has lived here the greater part Of
his life. He is reputed to carry con-
siderable money on his person and
the robbers probably expected to find
him at the house. Mrs. Gordon Is fifty
years old. while her husband is passed
seventy years. Three men, supposed
to be the culprits, were seen In Stony
Crek about dark driving rapidly.
The local police had received no de-
seription of the men who had commit
ted the dastardly deed ait a late hour
last evening, though the fact that such
crime had been committed was re-
ported from Branford early yesterday
afternoon.

Michael Foley lives at Springside
home, but he sometimes is overcome
by an intense longing to quit the insti-

his wishes into action and escape the
confines of the home.
Yesterday was not an exception. The
day very early found Foley en- route

convivial jolly souls, who make the
hours pass quickly, not to say pleas
antly, when he visits the city.
More or less liquids are consumed on
these occasions, and it was the fiery
fluid that brought Foley and his
friends Patrick Monehan and Mary
Hart, alias Sansone, to grief yesterday.

The officer placed all under arrest.
At the police station Foley admitted
that he had spent all his money but
thirty cents, which he was keeping un-
til he could conveniently shake his
friends. The charge of theft from per-

Foley had run away, and that the local
police were to keep sharp lookout for
him. Drunkenness was preferred
against all three.

FRIENDLY R"ECEIVERSHIP,

About two months ago Senator
Cullum, of Illinois, introduced a
bill aimed at what he termed the
practice of friendly receiverships
in federal courts.
The Senator incorporated in the
bill a brief argument in its favor
which declares that Esit is contra
ry to sound public policy and
good business morals that direc-
tors, officers, or employees of pub
lie corporations engaged in inter-
state commerce should be APP
pointed assignees or receivers of
such corporations when the same
became bankrupt" and further
more, that SEthis practice of friend
ly receiverships had become SO
general as to reach the proper
ton of a public scandal at home,
and to seriously injure our credit
abroad"
The bill provides that no per-
son shall be eligible as assignee or
receiver of a corporation which is
engaged IN Interstate commerce
who shall have been a director or
employee of such corporation in
the next preceding three years.
The bill was referred to the ju-
Gicial committee and Senator Cul-
lom made before that committee
an elaborate argument in support
of it. He failed, however, to
convince the committee and it has
submitted an adverse report on
the bill. 1t s brief but pointed.
This is all of it 4:
"While conscious that there
may at times be an apparent in
jury worked upon the property
and business operations of insol-
vent corporations by the appoint
ment of officers or employees for
merly in the employment of such
corporations, the judgment of
your committee is that much
greater injury would occur should
the discretion of the court in tots
respect be entirely withdrawn"
The New York Sun makes the
point that the best way to prevent
abuses in the matter of friendly
receiverships is for federal judges
to be made more careful how they
grant them.
