to furnish the navy department the
armor needed for the three battle ships
now building at the price of 5000 per

marked out by congress and has called
upon the shipbuilding compa MES
themselves to submit proposals for

doubt that the others will make like
answer.

A Banker Under Arrest.

Milwaukee, July 2s.-A special to the
Sentinel from La Crosse, Wis, says:
John Lienlokken, the banker, one of the
best-known Norwegians of this county,
was arrested Tuesday on charge Of
fraudulent banking. His bank was
closed in 1896, but reopened after a
few weeks and SO continued until last
September, when an assignment was
made. The liabilities were $4,000, of
which $4,000 was due depositors. The
assets were scheduled at $4,000, but
their value is indicated by the fact that
in ten months the assignee has been
able to collect only $4,000 at cost of
1,1oO for clerk hire. He has now but
$4,000 to pay dividend OH the whole

HEWITT ON NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.
The Only Issue, Is the City Fit for

LONDON, October abraham s.
Hewitt, one Of the organizers of the
County Democracy in 1879. a former Con-
gresham. and Mayor Of New York during
the years 1871 and 1889, has been inter-
viewed on the political situation arising
out of the campaign for the election of
Mayor of Greater New York. Among
other things. Mr. Hewitt said;
THE only issue is whether New York
is fit for self-government; whether a ma
jority of her citizens are honest. VIII
they give the city good government by
electing Mr.. Low, will they turn Il over
to plunderers by returning Tammany TO
power, or will they put into effect the
crazy vagaries of Socialism by .electing
Henry George?
'"The Republicans should have sufficient
patriotism to withdraw General Tracy.
He is a man for whom / have the highest
regard. but his position is utterly indie
feasible. The last thing he wants is to
be Mayor of New York, and he will be
the first to admit the fitness of Mr.. Low.
/ believe in his heart General Tracy wants
Mr.. Low elected. yet there he stands.
the tool Of Senator Platt, the only factor
in the fight who can prevent the election
of Mr.. Low.
Il believe Judge Van Wyck will poll
the full Tammany vote. He is one of the
so-called best men in Tammany. but 1
consider them the worst, because they
know better.
Henry George represents Socialism.
When he ran against me he proposed to
have the street-cars carry workngmen
free, but he did not explain who was TO
pay for them. Only the foreigners are
Socialists. and I do not think he will
poll more votes than before"
