EXCITING STREET SCENE.
Man Accused of Stealing Wallet That
 Wasn't Stolen.

Hi, there; stop the thief!'' yelled a portly individual yesterday evening, as he sprinted up Washington street in the wake of man who was some distance ahead and walking rapidly. The cry was passed along and two men headed off the supposed thief, who was both astonished and indignant at being summarily told to stop. The man who created the excitement came up very much winded and demanded that the prisoner be taken to jail.
 What have I done?" the other man asked
 What have you done? Why. you stole my pocketbook," roared the port ly man. You brushed past me near the Ford hotel and few seconds ;.:ter put my hand in my coat pocket and missed my purse. Are you sure? Better look in your pockets again." suggested a bystander.
 Its no use looking in my pockets. for know he has it, excitedly roared the heavy man.
 Nevertheless, he mechanically searched all his pockets and with sur prised look produced his wallet. "H'm, must have made mistake" he stammered, and mtttering an apol- | ogy, he strode on up the street. The sympathies of the crowd were with the supposed thief.

ONIONS OR TULIPS.
First Experience of Kansas Cityans
 With Arizona Pomegranates.

About two weeks ago Mir George M. Sargent, general freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railroad, who formerly lived in Kansas City, forwarded a box of pome- granates to an old friend, B. M Glen dening, secretary of the Commercial club of Kansas City. As an illustration of the general lack of knowledge in the east and middle west concerning the delicious pomegranates, MT Clenden- ing's letter of acknowledgement is highly entertaining. Here it is:
 Dear George-I am again reminded of your friendship by your letter of the 31st ult., and also by the receipt of a box of pomegranates, both of which ar rived on election day bright forecasts of the glorious news that was waiting for us in the election of Mckinley. The box arrived by express before your let ter, and after council of war between Miss Skelton, Jackson and myself, we were undecided as to whether the con- tents were tulip bulbs, new variety of onions or some kind of an apple of which we had never heard. We were all willing that any of the others that desired to should practice on them and the rest of us would wait the re- suit. But fortunately, your letter ar rived in the midst of our discussion
 and we were all very willing to partake of your hospitality, and were agreeably surprised to find this fruit so pleasant. ;

REMARKABLE REVIVAL.
Five Hundred Establishments Re
 opened Within Week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor- row will say:
 There is no doubt that a brighter day is dawning and it is common remark that never before has business shown so great change for the better within a single week. Dispatches telling of about 800 establishments which have opened and have materially enlarged their force, though they fill many col umns, give only part of the facts, for throughout the country the gain has been surprising even to the most hope full. It is not the mere speculation of hope which lights the fires and starts the wheels, for the orders which have been accommodating for months with the necessary replenishment of dealers stocks, now greatly reduced, would em- ploy the whole producing force for the time, and the increase in the number ot hands at work means increases in pur- chases for consumption.

THE MATTER WITH HANNA,
The National Chairman Bored
 With Office-Seekers.
Says He Is No Patronage Broker He Wants No Office Himself, Either, Having Had Glory Enough From the Campaign.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 19.-sI have had all the glory I want out of this campaign, and I am satisfied said Mark A. Hanna today while he was busily engaged in going through an enormous accumulation of correspond ence.
 The remark was called forth by a letter which the National chairman found in his mail, and the writer of which eulogized MT. Hanna as the only man for the secretaryship of the treas ury. The letter said: "If you find the duties of the position too arduous for you, call on me and I will come and help you
 "Here," continued MT. Hanna, "is another man whose request I can cas- fly grant. He says, Don't appoint any person to this position until you see me- Nearly every letter I get nowa- days is either a request for an appoint ment or for a contribution of some sort. It's absurd, though, to make for nal requests of me, and just told a man that I was no patronage broker.
 Concerning the National Republican headquarters, MT. Hanna said: ''The Chicago headquarters will be closed early next week and Major Dick will come back here. The New York head quarters will probably be kept oper until we decide about the permanent National headquarters.
 Where will they be located?'' ht was asked.
 q am in favor of Washington my self," replied MT. Hanna. Everything will be centered, but wherever they ar you can depend upon it that activ work will be kept up."

TO SAIL THE OCEAN BLUE.
Another Big Steamship Project
 Is Now Afoot.
Trans-Paciflc Line of Floating Pala- ces Superior to Anything Afioat- Marshall Field and Others inter- ested in the Enterprise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-One of the great projected enterprise depend- ent in part upon the election of Mo Kinley, is again attracting attention here, at San Diego and in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. It is the heavily backed proposition of num- Der of American capitalists to estab- fish on the Pacific a magnificent steamer line, with such railway ar engagements in the United States and such connection with the new trans Siberian line, as will make it a vital and effective part of great round-the- world system of communication.
 This new proposition, which has long since passed the stage of preliminary discussion, bids fair to be in full op- eration before any Pacific port has well comed the first of the much talked of Japanese liners The project had it's ] inception in Chicago, and among it's most enthusiastic supporters are Mar shall Field, the millionaire dry goods man, and other Chicago millionaires. The New York end of the enterprise is being cared for by B. c. Potter & Go. In Philadelphia the concern has the interest and support of William Cramp & Sons, the ship builders.
 It is the intention of these capitalists to establish a new trans-Pacifc line superior to anything afoat. Their plan calls for the construction of a number of steamers of not less than 5000 tons burden and of twenty knots speed, which will make them eligible to the benefits of the United States mail subsidy of $4 per travelled mile The distance from the California coas1 to Hong Kong is 1000 miles, and thus each steamer would be entitled to { bonus of $28,000 for a single trip.
 It is proposed to begin the enterprise with four twin screw steamers, capable
 of carrying $500 tons of freight, POI first-class passengers and 1900 steerag, passengers. As originally proposed thu
 line was to run from San Diego to tn,
 ports of China and Japan, but, sine,
 then an agent of the company has com to the coast and has opened negotia } tions to make San Francisco the ter minus on the coast.
 From all that can be learned thi American project is entirely independ
 ent of the Japanese projects, and d not in any way conflict with them, ex cept to increase the competition i trade.

HEATWOLE's RESOLUTION.
His Currency Resolution May Now Be
 Considered,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. - During the last session of congress Representa- tive Heatwole of Minnesota introduced resolution providing for non-par- tisan currency committee. By it's terms the president should appoint nine citizens, eminent in trade, polit- ical economy and banking, to act with the comptroller of the currency as a commission of experts to offer recom- mendations for needed changes in "our present inadequate banking and currency system and to report it's rec concentrations to congress" This res olution, it is said, may be pressed dur ing the coming session of congress, especially in view of the fact that con- siderable discussion has been en- gendered as to currency legislation in the next congress. It is known that the banking and currency committee of the house, to whom the Heatwole resolution was referred, was not fav- orably impressed with it, because the committee believes itself competent to evolve satisfactory currency scheme
 AS nothing was accomplished in the
 last session it is now possible that the
 currency commission may be looked upon with favor, especially as the pros pect of definite financial legislation k

(. CLEVELAND'S FiRETELL.
It Will Exhaustively Discuss the
 Nations Finances.
Wants the Government Taken Out of the Banking Business and VIII Recommend the Retirement of It's Legal Tender Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-President Cleveland has been in consultation with Secretary Carlisle and Post master General Wilson regarding the prospective revenues and expenses of the government, as well as the reforms that are necessary to the present mon etary system, and his last annual mes- sage to congress will discuss these mat terS in detail.
 The president will, as heretofore, recommend the retirement of the legal tender notes of the government, so as to take the government out of the banking business and make it impos- sible for speculators to drain the treas ury of gold by means of an endless chain of greenbacks and Sherman notes, which must be reissued as fast as they are redeemed. In order to avoid any contraction of the currency /, it is part of the administration plan to have this redemption of legal ten ders accompanied by amendments to the banking laws, so as to enable the banks to issue large volume of bank i ing currency, which they will be com pelled to redeem in gold, on demand. Whether the president will make any recommendations regarding increased revenues is uncertain, but he will thoroughly discuss the revenue situa- tion and will doubtless take occasion to point out that the principal reason for this failure of the present tariff law to produce sufficient revenue is that 1t has been in operation during a period of great business depression, when the country was under the con- stant threat of depreciated currency, Although an effort is to be made to
 pass the Dingley tariff bill through the
 senate at the coming session, there is
 great difference of opinion among Re- publicans as to the wisdom of this pol
 icy. Representative Dalzell of Penn sylvania, one of the Republican mem
 bers of the committee of ways and
 means in the house of representatives
 who was in Washington yesterday
 said he doubted whether the Dingley bill could be pushed through the sen- ate. MT. Dalzell who is an extreme pro.
 tectlonist, favors having the ways anG means committee of the house take up the tariff question at the approach. = Ing session and go into it with the ob. l Ject of preparing general bill which
 can be practically complete by the time
 the new congress meets, either in reg
 ular or special session.
 Il He is strongly in favor of incorporat q ing the reciprocity bill in the measure e but there will be considerable oppo e sltlon to this from conservative Repub
 licans, for the reason that the tendenc,
 of the reciprocity provision was to de $ crease the revenues and the tariff lay
 enacted by the next congress must b, d above all else revenue producin, e measure.
