The Hoboken police are claiming con-
siderable credit for the arrest of what
they consider a desperate gang of ex-
pert criminals. How expert they are
may be imagined from the fact that they
We're overheard planning a robbery in one
of the public parks. Another cfrcum-
stance which adds greatly to the glory
of the Hoboken police is the fact that
the prisoners were arrested at the in
stance of a stool pigeon, Henry Schmidt,
who works for Detective Nelson. Schmidt
was with the alleged crooks in Hudson
Square Park when they decided to rob
the safe in Robert Raynor's bakery, at
No 1l5 Hudson street. early this morn
ing and then Eight OUT for the West.
Schmidt, although knowing that the
time was not yet ripe for Nelson to cap
ture the entire gang, according to the
detectives plans, decided it was best to
get them while they could be found and
sneaked away from them and ran to
police headquarters and informed Cap
tain Hayes.
Officers Gallagher and Raybold accom-
panied Schmidt back to the park, keep
ing IN his rear several yards. When
Schmidt got to where his unsuspecting
cronies were, he gave the policemen the
signal and the officers placed them under
arrest. The Judas was also locked up
with them, in order to divert any sus-
picion of treaehery from him.
At the station house the prisoners said
they were Fritz Hendle, alias Henner,

Detective Nelson entered police head
quarters this morning in anything but
a pleasant frame of mind He had with
him Robert Raynor, II years old, son of
rob last night. Nelson said that young
Raynor was one of the most desperate
of the gang. He intended to forge his
fathers name to check for large
amount and after the gang had pillaged
the safe, follow them. Nelson wanted
to wait until he could get the entire
gang, which he thinks is comprised of at
least a dozen. He is afraid that last
nights affair was premature
Five of the same gang, it is said. were
arrested in New York a short time ago

Young Raynor will be sent into the
navy if discharged by the courts on this

Detective Nelson secured satchel be-.

tanned over 200 keys Each one of the
men had a revolver and several burglars

THE CRAZY CHINESE.

LONDON, June 8, 1Sss.-The "Globe"
publishes a despatch from Shanghai
which says that since the return of the
Viceroy Lfu Kun Yih to Nankin, the
German officers who were lent to China
by Germany to drill the Chinese troops
have been repeatedly insulted, hope being
entertained that they would resent the
insults by resigning This practice not
having the desired result, the Chinese
have resorted to violence, ending in the
Krause by the Human bodyguard Of the
Viceroy,- and the German squadron has
been ordered to proceed to Nanlsfn forth

SILVER MAD.
The Democratic Convention of Vir-
ginia VIII Favor Free Coinage.

STAUNTON, VA, June 8, 1s96.-The
Democratic State Convention which as
sembles here tomorrow will be overWhelm-
ingly for free silver. Congressman Peter
J. Otey, of Lynehburgy the chairman of
the Virginia Silver Committee, who is
here, claims that they will have all ten
of the Congressional districts, and will,
therefore, chose a solid delegation to the
Chicago convention. This seems to be
practically, If not literally, correct. The
adoption of the unit rule. the control of
the party organization and the selection
of electors seem to be the only questions
which are not pretty well disposed of al
ready. A notice signed by Chairman
Otey has been distributed among the free
silver delegates in which that side is ad-
vised is L! to Rs elect the members Of the State
and District committees and all ten of the
electors. There is, however, opposition
even among the free silverites to the
adoption of this programme.
The conservative sentiment is to make
an equal division of electors and members
of the committee between the silver and
gold men.
Senator Daniel and other conspicuous
leaders will arrive this afternoon. There
is also division of sentiment upon the
carrying out the unit rule. 1t is believed
i may be adopted in some very modified
form

GARDNER ON LABOR.
He Makes a Republican stump speech
In Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 9, 1S96.-For the
labor bill, known as the Phillips COM
mission bill, which was passed yesterday
by the house, all the members of the New
Jersey delegation who were in town voted
III the affirmative. 1t proposes that a
commission shall be appointed by the
President, non-partisan in its character
composed of twelve men, three represent
ing labor, three agriculture, three manu-
facturers and three business, who shall
investigate questions relating to immi-
grafton, labor, agriculture, Manufacture
ing and business and report their conclu-
sions to Congress in order that beneficent
legislation shall be passed.
Congressman Gardner was the only New
Jerseyman who had a chance to speak
on the bill and he favored it. His ad-
dress was an old fashioned Republican
stump speech.
Representative Loudenslager is still
struggling to get his additional appropri-
alton for the Camden post office building
but every time he makes the effort the
House refuses to accept the amendment
which Senator Sewell had put in by the
Senate. He made another attempt yes
terday, but in vain. The Senate will
probably have to recede from it's amend
ment in order to get the bill passed and
Mr. LoudenSager will have to wait until
another Congress or else be content with
what has already been appropriated
