NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 23.-Secretary
of the Navv Herbert was at the Waldorf
to-day. When asked By reporter of the
United Associated Presses if there was
any truth in the report from Washington
that at a meeting of high naval officials
held in that city on Friday last a plan of
campaign, offensive and defensive, in case
of foreign war, was submitted and dis
cussed, he declined to commit himself.
He declared there was nothing siqnifi-
cant in the meeting of the naval officers
and that meetings on their part were OF
frequent occurrence. Naval matters. he
said, seemed to attract more attention
now than heretofore. He asserted that
there was nothing extraordinary in plac-
ing the navy in excellent condition. This
had been his aim ever since assuming
his present office

Great CONSERVATION Among the
EmDioyeS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-Offi-
Gals and employees of the Treasury De-
partment building turned out en- massa
about 10 o'clock this morning, and for a
while great excitement existed over an
unfounded report of an attempt to rob the
place where the Government keeps it's
treasure. Rumors few thick and fast, but
not so rapidly rs the alleged robber and a
large number of pursuers. The man was
overtaken at the corner of Fourteenth and
F streets, block from the Treasury build
ing, and escorted back there by q big
crowd. After an investigation he was
turned over to the local police. The story
of the affair was this:
A well-dressed negro called on Assist
ant Secretary William E. Curtis at his
office in the department and said he was
authorized TO collect $40 from Mr.. Curtis
as subscription for the charity ball. A
telephone message to reference given
by the negro brought back the response
that he was all right. Mr.. Curtis in
structed private Secretary Johnson to pay
the man the money. but Mr.. Johnson be.
came suspicious and suggested 10 the col
lector that they visit the captain of the
watch. The suggestion had an electric
like effect on the negro. He made wild
leap down stairway, followed by Mr.
Johnson and number of others. News
of the chase spread through the big build
ing, and for short time much excitement
prevailed over rumors of robbery and
other thrilling suggestions.

OR FOOL?

When Cleveland, in place Of asking
for bids on a previous heavy loan to
the Government secretly took the
entire amount Of 100000. 600 from a
Wall street syndicate at 1913. The
Bee ~denounces him as either n
sconndrel or fool That this journal
was justified in that language. which
it used just after that st~ar-Chamher
loan Of February 9Th 1895, was proved
10y the fact hat tn" gang OF gold
gamblers sold those salGe bonds on
February 21st, at prices ranging FROM
ia to 1l9, and that both in London
and New York offers were made to
take three times that much at those
figures.
That Cleveland was then either in
collision with the geld ring, or that
he had displayed the most idiOtic lack
OF the commOnest business instinct,
has received fresh demonstrations
from the unexpected success of the
recent popular loan. Cleveland ard
Carlisle called for another O,OOO,O 900
and asked for bids from people of the
United States, being driven t. that
action by the clamor of public opinion.
The result exceeds all expectations

COLOBUG TACTICS.

The following gives y an idea %
how the goldbugs smo her deh&ta on
silver because they fear the light of
facts:
S ea:er Reed and o'her leaders of
the House seem bent on handicappinc
the silver men in every way POSSIBLE,
ever in the debate on the silver sub
stituta to the bond bill. When one Of
the gold forces asks fer time in which
t. present his views to the Hou7e he
is invariably assigned some hour
early in the middle OF the afternoon
when the floor is full Of members and
when the galleries are we'll crOwdef |.
When the gentlemen Of opposite views
make similar request they are lucky
to get time at the evening session or
during one Of the adjourned sessions
early in tho morning. 1t is hoped in
this way that the silver arguments
will reach only a few, while the arru-
ments Of the gold men may reach the
ears of the multitude.
Representative Newlands Of Nevada,
who is looked upon as one Of the lead
ers of the silver element in the House,
was forced to accept n of the crumbs
from the leaders table, as have nearly
all the ether silver men. The best
time he could secure was during the
first hour in the mornings adjourned
eession from the night before, when
only about thirty members were on the
floor and the galleries were entirely
empty.
Instead OF the hour allotted to the
members on the other side OF the
question he vas given twenty-five
minutes. But he made the best of the
opportunity, and delivered n of the
clearest and most logical arguments
in favor Of free silver ever heard in
the House. He was not permitted to
finish, however, and had to ask leave
to print the part Of his speech left an
said.

the air was bad. The conductor tried
to open the window In the usual way.

to get crowbar to pry it open. where
upon the suffering woman smashed the
glass with her parasol. Tho conductor
then had her taken into custody on q
charge Of insanity. A doctor exam
ined her and pronounced her rational.
Her defense was that she had paid for
her transportation and was entitled to
fresh air with 1t. The justice thought
so too. and discharged her. It is pos

the railway companies considerable
trouble. II 1t be good law that when
