Justice to Mr.. Mcssfo. d.

Regarding the sland ers hrapei by
thoughtless newspapers On Mr.. Moss
ford, the Carson correspondent OF the
Genoa Courier writes as fellows:
I notice that you copied an item
with refeaence to Mr.. Mossford, 10
which be is described as a fraud Of
the worst kind. OF course you don't
know the facts, and are ready to make
amends. Mr.. Mossford is an English
man. and has a young wife and fOur
childred. He came here last spring
/ and went to work for Mr.. Lindsey,
cutting stone and canvasSinG for con
tracts. He sued for his wages and
| commissions, and upon the trial
showed that he had acted with perfect
honor with his employer, and he has
beeu paid. Mr.. Dunlop OF Virginia
City, who had MossfOrd arrested FOL
obtaining money under false preten'
sps, never appeared against him, and
the action was dismissed, and Dunlop
is now as mad as Il March hare "a

warrant. Mossford has been put t.
enforced idIeness On account Of mali
cious prosecution, being branded
thief aud cheat, and he has bee
forced to travel to Virginia City t

friends. [ must say, upon my acqua

Episcopal Constitution.

The first meeting of the committee ap-
pointed by the house of deputies at the
last general convention of the Episcopal
Church to consider amendments to the con-
stitution will meet in New York tomorrow.
To this committee there were referred the
messages from the house of bishops adopt
ing large part of the constitution as pro-
posed by the commission which had been
appointed in 1892. The house of deputies
was much less ready to adopt the changes
than the house of bishops, and concurred
in only a small part of their action. The
other messages of the house of bishops
were referred to this committee. The COM
mittee will make It's report at the next
general convention, which meets in Wash
ington in 1898. Rev. DR.. Dix of New York
is chairman of the committee. Among the
other members are Rev. DR.. Egar, Rev. DR..
Fulton, Rev. DR.. Elliott and Rev. DIR.
Fiske. Among the lay members of the
committee are ex-senator Edmunds, Mr..
Hillburgwin, Chancellor Wolworth of Ne
braska and Judge Bennett of the Harvard
Law School.

GOLD ON DEPOSIT.
Temporary Arrangement May ID,
Made With Some Dnnks.

Temporary Arrangement May be
Made With Some Banks.
The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceived applications from a number of prom
inent New York banks for authority to re-
ceive gold on deposit from bond purchasers,
but the Secretary has decided to decline the
request. 1t Is probable, however, that some
Of the depository banks will be allowed to
temporarily receive deposits in excess of
normal limitations At present the govern
ment has no need Of large amounts Of cur
rency, and by leaving large balances in de-
pository banks the strain Of the contrac-
ton Of the currency consequent upon the
sale of the bonds would be in some measure
relieved. This action was taken by the de-
partment at the time of one of the other
issues, and the result is said to have been
SO beneficial as to warrant its being repeat
ed. The arrangement, however, will be only
a temporary one, as 1t is expected that the
money stringency, If any is felt at all, will
have subsided by the time the bond sale Is
fully consummated. Gold to the amount Of
s2,3Si, 600 was withdrawn from the subtreas-
ury al New York yesterday, presumably to
be used again in making payment for bonds.
This leaves the true amount Of the eold
reserve $42,O66SG0.

One letter is from Whatcom county,
Washington, and states that at q mass
meeting of the citizens of this northwest
ernmost county in the United States the fol-
owing resolutions vere adopted without a
dissenting voice." etc., and then follows
the resolutions of praise for Senator Till
man. In these resolutions all kinds of
charges of CORRUPTION Of lawmakers and
of Cleveland are made. Another letter Is
from st. Delmo, ILL.,. and is signed by
"triumvirate Of Democrats" whose names
are given: another from Perryville, Ind,
thanks him for his thunder and light
ring" one from AUmsville, Ore, nominates
him for President, and assures him he can
get the electoral vote Of that state; one
from Springfield, Mo-, says: Oh sena-
torial courtesy wien it comes in conflict
with senatorial backbone and manliness;' -
enc from Union, w. Va, congratulates him
for having said "what should have been
said years ago."
Tillman's private secretary says that he
received 450 letters the third day after
the speech. One letter nominates Allen and
Tilln an as the populist nominees this year.
Tillman is being besought to make speech
es throughout the south and west this
year and it is not unlikely that he will
take the stump The only reason for not
doing so is that he is poor man, and will
be unable to stand the expenses.
Tillman can command a big strength In
the south and west at the st. Louis silver
convention, and it is pretty certain that If
he does not accept a nomination himself
he will be able to dictate the nominee.

IN PURSUIT OF THE KITES.
Weather Bureau AerOplanes Take
French Leave.


Three aeroplanes broke loose from their
anchorage near Fort Myer yesterday af-
ternoon, and attracted an unusual amount
of attention as they floated high over the
city. '.Aeroplane" is the name given by
the scientists Of the weather bureau to the
kites with which they are now experiment.
ing in order to gain a more thorough
knowledge Of the conditions and currents
Of the upper air. Yesterday afternoon the
weather men went over the river to con-
tinue the kite trials, and, instead of the
usual hempen rope, there was attached
fire steel wire to the kites as they were
sent aloft. They had ascended to dis
tance of over quarter of a mile, when the
strain on the wire became too great, and
1t snapped. The kites continued their up
ward course. and drifted slowly in north
easterly direction over the city. People
stood on street corners and gaZed Skyward
at the strange objects, which were plainly
visible, and from some points Of obSerVa-
ton seemed almost as il on fire, as the
suns slanting rays shone on their silken
Sides When night came the kites were
still high in the heavens, with no prospect
t,f their coming down to earth again. Late
in the evening, and even after midnight,
the Inhabitants Of Brookland were curious
to know the cause of a peculiar purrinS
sound, a. times not unlike the roaring Of
flames, which seemed to come from some
where overhead. 1t was a matter of con-
siderable comment among the residents
of that quiet suburb, the mystery of which
was solved this morning, when the weather
bureau was informed that a large amount
of fine wire had been found tangled up
among the streets and fields and trees Of
that portion of the District of Columbia.
The professors at the bureau Immediately
went out in search of their kites, and al
though at late hour this afternoon they
had not returned, 1t is believed at the bu-
reau that the truant kites will eventually
be captured.

Many Who Would Seek st. Michaeis
and All Angels Parish.
The vestry of ST. Michaers and All An
gels Protestant Episcopal Church have not
yet definitely decided upon a successor TO
the Rev. Clarence Wyatt Bispham, but
they expect to announce the name Of the
new rector in very short while Fifteen
applicants have filed briefs with the vestry
asking for the appointment, and in addi-
ton to these number Of other names are
under consideration. Among those who
are said to have the best chance, and who
have already conducted service at the
church are the Revs. G. H. Farrar of EIiz-
aheth, Nj; Griffith Of North Carolina; !;
Wyllys Rede Of Rockford, ILL.,, and Chas
F. sontag of this diocese. Rev. Rede is not
il cluded in the list of those who have
preached, but his abilities in this line and
also as an author are we'll known to many
Episcopalians. OF the others, Rev. Mr.
Farrar is young English clergyman,
though now serving a charge in this coun-
try, and is relative of the celebrated di-
vine, Canon Farrar. Rev. Mr.. Griffith is do
ing missionary work in North Carolina, ind
is also young man, as is Mr.. Sontag, who
is rector of the Episcopal Church at Upper
Marlboro. The latter gentleman preached
last Sunday. A prominent official of the
parish. in speaking of the causes which led
to the resignation of Mr.. Bispham, stated
that the vestry are not keeping back the
clause in the deed, which made the congre-
cation a separate parish from st. Johns,
from any of the clergy likely to be candi-
dates and, and that the one who takes 1t
will have to accept the deed the way 1t
stands now, or take some means to set it
oside. The same gentleman said that the
vestry are in DOUBT as to the course they
will take in this matter, but that they will
appeal to the bishop for his Intervention in
the matter.
Rev. Mr.. Bispham has received notice
that at his new rectorate at Trinity Church
New Haven, he Is to be given entire charge
of the church music in addition to his
other duties, and that for this purpose
5000 year will be expended.

ESTEEM FOR MIR. GRESHAM.
fhe MfiSado Sends "a PrinceIy Gift to
His Widow.

Priceless tapestries and beautiful vases.
selected from the private collection of his
imperial japanese majesty. the mikado, con-
stitute the friendship and esteem which the
oriental sovereign has sent, through his
minister, to Mrs. Gresham, widow of the
late Secretary of State. Minister Shinchiro
kurino called upon Mrs. Gresham In Chi
cago yesterday, with the Information that
the purpose of his trip from the national
capital was to formally present to Mrs
Gresham the costly gifts that have been
forwarded from Japan. During the war be-
tween Japan and China the late Secretary
of State was often required to pass upon
delicate questions of international import
affecting the nations of the orient and Min
lister kurino was thus thrown in Mr. Gres-
hams company great deal. The Secre-
tary's kindness won him the regard of the
japanese minister. and,s through that off,
cial, of the mikado himself.
If Secretary Gresham had lived the Japan-
ese emperor could not have evinced his
esteem in the princely way he has chosen to
do it through his American minister There
are no diplomatic scruples in the way of
his present method, however, and IT has
rarely happened that an American has been
SO signally honored by the mikado.

AS TO MURPHY

BALTIMORE, February 1.-THE topic Of
greatest interest among the delegates to
the national corvt ntion of the League Of
American Wheeln1en this morning was the
action Of the racing board in removing the
edict of life suspension from Charles NJ.
Murphy, the crack class B rider.
Murphy. together with Titus and Ca
banne. was charged with having conspired
to throw a race in ST. Louis last summer,
and the racing board suspended all three
of them from further racing on l.. A. w.
tracks. Murphy sought rehearing, claim
ing to be able to show that If any agree
ment to throw the race really existed he
was not a party to it. AS proof of this he
cited the fact that he actually won the
race, while under the alleged agreement
Cabarne was TO have been tine winner.
His plea for a rehearing was considered
here Sunday. and the racing board, after
a long session, decided that the suspension
should stand
Murphy, however, made another effort,
and Titus came here yesterday to tell the
board what he knew of 1t. A meeting was
held after midnight, which did not adjourn
until 3 o'clock this morning. None of the
testimony taken has been made public, but
it is asserted that Titus made statement
which exonerates Murphy, but duplicates
Titus and Cabanne more deeply than ever,
and that the sentence of indefinite suspen-
sion against them will stand.
The convention was late in getting to work
this morning and it was IL o'clock before
President Willison called the delegates to
order. The morning session was devoted
tc hearing the reports of the president, the
committee on credentials and the executive
committee all of which show the league
to be in good condition.
The report of Secretary Bassett was quite
an interesting and in some parts an anus
ing one, and considerable laughter greeted
his assertion that ice bills and palace car
charges should be paid because you dc
Lot want your lady clerks to drink warm
water, nor your secretary to travel in a
box car"
He recommended roll of honor TO con-
! tain the names of all who were present q:
the league initial meeting in Newport.
The committee on rights and privileges
reported that the protest against the cleo
ton of Secretary-treasurer Van Mort Of tho
Pennsy lvania division be dismissed, and the
report was sustained. The membership
| committee reported a nourishing state OF
| things. 1t mas received fifteen protests
| and there have been eight expulsions dur.
ing the year.

highway improvements made verbal re-
pCrt CT the committees work. q

SECRETARY MoRToN,s STATEMENT
Why He Made Large Distributions of
Seeds in Certain States.

Why He Made Large Distributions of
Seeds i'm Certain States.
Secretary Morton has made a statement
in response to the charge made in the Sem
ate by Senator Vest that the Secretary of
Agriculture had distributed 10000 more
packages of seed in Nebraska than that
state was entitled to last year. He frankly
confesses that during the recent seasons OF
extreme drought in the northwest he gave
far more than the normal quota of seed to
Nebraska, Kansas and each of the Dakotas
and to Oklahoma. He says that this was
charitable, and not political distribution.
The quotas for the drought-stricken sec
tions were sent directly to and distributed
by societies and persons designated by their
respective communities for that charitable
work.
Secretary Morton said:
THE Secretary challenges the severest
scrutiny Of his intentions and his acts, and
Is delighted with the character of the en-
emies he seems to be propagating."
