HAS NOT SENT FOR PLATT.
Hanna Denies Eumor- His Morn-
Ing Callers

NEW YORK, Aug. ], 1S96.--Mr. Hanna
arrived at the headquarters Of the Ma
tional Republican Committee shortly be-
fore eleven o'clock, and at once denied
having invited or sent for Mr.. T. c. PIatt,
Mr.. Lauterback and Mr. Hackett of the
State Republican Committee, as was an
nounced in several morning papers. Mr..
Hanna said he would be very glad to
see Mr.. Platt, and there is no reason
why Mr.. Platt should not call but he
had not issued any formal invitation, or
set any time when he would be at the
disposal of the leaders of the Empire State
machine.
Mr.. Hanna was busy several hours to-
day meeting CALLERS and Astening to
propositions as to how the campaign
should be conducted. The rooms and the
Railways outside were crowded with men
and women with schemes. One of Mr..
Hanna's callers was Mrs. J.. Ellen Foster.
Another caller today was G.. L. Kurtz.
National Committeeman from OHIO and
Chairman of the Ohio State Committee.
Mr.. Kurtz said that the campaign in
his State will be opened at a monster
The speakers Will be the Hon Thomas
B. Reed. Senator Foraker and Senator
John Sherman. Senator Foraker has de-
ferred his contemplated visit to Europe
one month in order to be present Cover
nor Mckinley will be invited as the guest
of honor, and a rousing time will be had.
Mr.. kurtz says that Ohio is aroused more
than ever before in a national campaign
and that the outlook is most encouraging.

TUG OF War IN COURT
Counselor Salinger's Intellectual
Attempt to Gag
Client.

There was considerable fun in the Oak
land Avenue Police Court this morning
caused by ex-Assemblyman Max Salinger
trying to drag a client out of court who
was on trial for assault and battery.
The case was that of Thomas Bradley
saloonkeeper of No. 440 West Side ave-
nue., who was charged with having as
saulted James W. Foley. of No. s6 Tuers
avenue, one Of the spies who went around
securing evidence against saloonkeepers
violating the Sunday law Foley secured
evidence against Bradley and he was ar
rested and fined. Bradley met Foley later
and according to the story told by Foley
in court this morning struck him with
his fist.
The case came up originally before
Judge Douglass, but was postponed on
account Of the non-appearance of Foleyss
only witness. Mr.. Salinger appeared for
Bradley this morning and asked that the
case be dismissed as the witness was not
on hand.
Judge Macs, however. would not dis
miss 1t and ordered that it be reopened.
He called Foley to the stand and told
him to tell his story Foley started ID.
but had no more than opened his mouth
when Mr.: Salinger protested against any
such evidence being taken in the case
and grabbing hold of Bradley's arms
dragged him towards the door, at the
same time exciaiming, Come on, come
Bradley begged the lawyer to loose his
holds but the ex-Assernblyman still kept
dragging him towards the door ordering
nm 10 leavs the court room. Bradley
word, but shook his head in manner
which indicated that Bradley had better
stay.
When Bradley saw the judges head
what to do. He asked his counsel to lei
go OF him again and began to pull the
lawyer the other way. A tug-of-war then
ensued between the two men, which was
greatly enjoyed by the lobby. Stin the
judge never said word.
Bradley, as last resort, cried out,
For GODS sake man. don't make a fool
Of me-" and with a superhuman effort
broke away from the strong arms of his
legal protector just as Officer Milburn
caught hold of both Of them, and ordered
seat among the lobby and waited develop
ments. Foley continued to tell his story.
when Mr.. Salinger interrupted him by
turning .rrnlg towards the judge and saysng:-
rms IS an injustice and an imposition
upon common sense and this man, and /
sonally''
With that he grabbed his hat and start
ed for the door. As he did so Judge Macs
asked Bradley a question, but before he
could answer Mr.. Sainger blurted OUT
Shut up, shut up; don't answer, airetty
now, don't answer nodings, / say
But Bradley paid more attention to the
Judges orders than he did to his lawyers ]
and answered the questions put to him.
As ne was testifying in his behalf the
venerable lawyer kept fussing and a fllm-
Ing and muttering to himself He looked
daggens at Judge Macs, who had a hard
struggle to keep his gravity The Judge
decided that there was no+ auiSo4uoa
enough IN the case to hold the prisoner
and discharged him.

WARNING PROM CARLISLE.
All Life Insurance Policies. He Says,
VIII Re Paid iii silver

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Aug. /, 1ss6-A
statement was widely published by the
press a few days ago that President G.
L. Green of the Connecticut Life Insur-
ance Company OF Hartford and the heads
Of other life insurance companies had is
sued circular letters to policy holders
notifying them that in the event that the
Government adopts the free coinage of
silver the company would be compelled
to pay al claims in deprecated silver
coin.
F. w. Alsop, of this city, sent a clip
Treasury Carlisle with request for an
expression on the subject. He has re-
ceiyed reply from Mr.. Carlisle, which
is in part as follows -
I'm case free coinage of silver should
be established III this country, / presume
insurance companies and all other insti-
tuticns would continue to make their pay
ments by checks and drafts on banks as
heretofore; in my opinion. the whole vol
ume of our currency would sink at once
to the silver basis and these checks and
drafts would be paid in silver dollars or
their equivalent instead of gold or it's
equivalent, as is now the case.
Il presume no one supposes for a mo-
ment that 1t would be the duty of the
Government to attempt to Keep the stand
ard silver dollar coined free for private
individuals and corporations equal in wall
ue TO gold dollar-or. in other words,
that it would be the duty of the Govern
ment to attempt under a system of free
coinage TO maintain the parity of the
two metals
The dollars would be coined on private
account and delivered to private individ-
uais and corporations as their own pro-
perty, the Government having no interest
whatever in them, and being, therefore,
under no obligation to sustain them by
guaranteeing their value
Under our existing system all silver
dollars are coined on, account of the. Gov
ernment, and are issued by the Govern
ment IN payment of its expenditures and
other obligations, and 1t would be an ACT
OF bad faith, therefore, to permit them
to depreciate. Very truly yours.

JAPAN's HORROR EXCEEDED.
Tidal Wave in the Yellow Sea

SHANGHAI. Aug. l, 1S96.-The recent
disastrous tidal wave along the coast of
Northern Japan has been paraleied by
similar phenomenon on the coast of
Haichau, northeast of the Province of
Kisngan. in which Shanghai is situated.
The news of the disaster did not reach
here before today owing to the lack of
facilities for communication with the
part of the country devastated
On July 26 there suddenly appeared in
the Yellow Sea huge bank of water
that was rushing shoreward with ter
rible velocity. The water off the coast is
shallow and when the wave was some
distance away it began to comb, and the
rearing could be heard for a great dis
tance. From the stories of eyewifnesses
and the reports Of people in the country
back from the coast the wave was iiye

thrown for miles inland, and everything
