CHARGED WITH RAUL
Business Men Accused of Securing
100000 by Unlawful Means.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 4.-Three proml-
nent business men Of this city nave been
arrested and bound over to the October
term of court charged with conspiracy to
defraud the National Loan and Investing
Company, of Detroit, one of the largest
concerns of its kind in the country. The
case promises to be a sensational one,
owing to the prominence Of the accused and
the amount claimed to have been secured
by them, which is said to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The men charged with
the fraud are w. M. Benham, a ~welI-known
attorney; D. w. Jones, a teller in the Pitts
burg Bank of Savings, and William S.
Greene, secretary of the Calumet Coal and
Coke Company. A prominent East End
real-estate dealer is said to be implicated,
but as yet has not been arrested. The in
formation accuses the defendants of using
the mails in devising a scheme, to defraud.
1t Is charged that Benham acted as at
torney for the Detroit company and the
other two as appraisers in placing mort
cages, and by cOnniving together the COM
pany was induced to advance big money on
property which has only a nominal value.
The scheme is said to have been in opera
ton for months.

At FORT ETHAN ALLEN.
President Mckinley and Party Enter
tanned by an Army officer.

BURLINGTON, VT. Aug. president
Mckinley, Mrs. Mckinley, Vice President
Hobart and the rest of the presidential par
~ left Hotel Champlain at 1890 this morn
ing and embarked on the steamer Maqua-
mar for Burlington, just across the lake. to
visit Fort Ethan Allen. where an excellent
cavalry drill had been arranged. When at
noon the Maquamar arrived at the club
house landing of the Lake Champlain
Yacht Club they received a royal reception.
Captain Dodd's crack troop of the Third
United States Cavalry was waiting at the
dock and saluted as the President stepped
ashore. A salute from the Yacht Gu can
non was fired and the waiting crowds
broke into loud cheers. The streets or
Burlington were gay with bunting and it
was quite a triumphal march tor the Pres,
idents party to the house of Col. Legrand
Cannon. whose invitation to luncheon had
previously been accepted. Troop + headed
the party, which filed five carriages and
consisted of the President and Mrs. Nc
Ktnley, Vice President Hobart and Mrs.
Hobart, Gen. and Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Bailey
and Gen. Guy V. Henreicks. AS the car
riage stopped before ascending the hill, an
old veteran stepped from the crowd and;
going up to the President, offered his hand
to him. The President grasped it and
smiled with pleasure. AS the party passed
City Hall Park, a salute of twenty-one
guns was fired at the state armOry on Col
lege street. The guests at the luncheon at
Colonel Cannon's home were Governor

HOTEL CHAMPLAIN, N. Y, Aug. A.
About 3 o'clock Troop e escorted the party
to Fort Ethan Allen, situated four miles
from Burlington. The road to the post
passes through the village of Winooski. AS
the presidential party entered the govern
ment reservation a battery of artillery
commenced firing a salute and the carriages
passed between lines of cavalry drawn up
on either side Of the driveway. The party
dismounted at the residence of the COM
mandant, Guy V. Henry, where the ladies
of the post were gathered, and a short
informal reception was held. Then the
President, Vice President and General AL
ger were escorted to the reviewing stand.
The most pleasing feature of the Third
Cavalry drill was the salute to the cOlors
and to the President. The famous Troop f,
under Captain Dodd, then took the field
and gave a striking exhibition of rough
riding and intricate evOlutions. The drill
was cut short by the lateness of the hour.
The big steamer Vermont carried the
party across the lake back to the summer
hotel. During the trip home Mrs. K
ley. who was much fatigued by the days
pleasure, retired to a stateroom. She APP
peared to be very feeble, requiring much
assistance from the President in walking,
although she says she has been benefited
by the bracing air.

tons that owes it's existence to him, is the

of room for the desks at which the assist
ants do their work and for the numberless
visitors who call on every imaginable
errand merely to get a peep at the author
of THE Man Without a Country" and in
cidentally to ask for an autograph, perhaps.
The green-tinted walls at the right-hand

chairs and a couch. are what one sees at
the first glance. There are persons who will
not believe it, but it is said by his init
mates that DR.. Hale really does sleep, and
that he frequently takes a restful nap right
here when there is a hull. In fact. this is
one of the things he prides himself on-be-
ing able to set all care aside and to drop
of to slumber, waking in a short time quite
refreshed. He can do this in a railway
tvain or an electric car; but this quiet place
is especially conducive to forty winks."
All the plans for the floating hospital
are arranged here, and appointments are
made for the engagements that take up
almost every minute of DR.. Hale's time.
In his seventy-sixth year, he never is
known to turn work aside on account of
pressure of other matters; he always sees
some way by which it can be undertaken.
He has acquired the reputation of being
the busiest man in America, but he aughs
at such an idea. Don't you believe a
word of it., he says. Il don do half the
things people imagine I do. I see what's
to be done and then hunt some one up to
do it for me" That is his way of looking
at it, but his associates who have been in
close relations with him for years know
his indomitable energy, enthusiasm and
love for real, hard. unmistakable work.
When luncheon time arrives he is served
from the bill of fare provided for Monday
Rest patrons. and often goes down and sits
at one of the tables where he can note how
much the place is appreciated by the hum
dreds who go there for nOurishing food
and a bit of a nap or a few minutes of read
ing or lounging before returning TO shop
or store.

DOUBT ABOUT THE MATTER.
n New Gold Diggings East of the
14Ist Meridian-Steamers That
Will Sail North This Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Incited by the
newspaper publ atoms recently tending TO
throw doubt on the ownership of the Klon-
dixie gold fields, some of the high govern
ment officials who would naturally be ex-
pected to deal with the question if it comes
to a practical issue have been quietly look
ing into the matter, with a view to prepar-
ing themselves for any controversy that
may arise. Their views are in substance
that there can be no valid objection ad-
vanced to the title of Great Britain to this
territory. A careful examination Of all of
the reliable charts and maps made far
enough back in date to be free from sus-
picion of influence of the recent heavy gold
finds has convinced these officers that so
far as the Klondike fields, as defined by the
latest reports, are concerned there can be
no question but that they lie east of the
141st meridian, which defines the boundary
line, and so are within British territory by
about thirty-fiVe miles at least. AS for the
meridian itself, it is said that it has been
so closely located by the surveys of the
Canadians and our own coast survey that
there is not at any point a difference of
more than seven hundred feet in the claim
boundary, which, of course, would not sub
Stantially affect any controversy that might
grow out of the title.

HARTFORD cITY's PROSPECTS.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Aug. 4.--This
city is greatly exercised over the prospects

which controls the output of the Indiana
oil field. r. c.. Hall, of the company, was
here yesterday. He is engaged at present
In securing the right-of-way for a six-inch
pipe line through this county, which will
extend from Montpelier to the Alexandria
oil field. TIL company pays Is cents a rod,

ward. From Mr.. Hall it was learned that
the Standard has great faith in the future
of the Hartford City oil field and that the
company. contemplates the ACCESSIBILITY of
moving it's Indiana headquarters to this
city. Hartford City offers several adVan-
tages over the present location, and, as
this city is more centrally located and the
OH 1eld is being greatly extended, Mr.. Hall
thinks II would be to it's advantage to move
mere. Inc pumping stations Will remain at
tnelr present location, but additional sta
tions will very likely be erected here and
the oil paid for at this point.
The action of the Manhattan Company in
closing its we'll is being talked of on all
sides. There is a strong opposition to oil
development here, and it has been rumored
that the Manhattan had offered it's big well
to the Peoples Gas Company, of this city,
at a fair price. One thing is certain, unless
natural gas gives out the oil production in
the immediate vicinity of Hartford City
cannot be very great. The principal manu-
featuring concern of the city, the Hartford
City window-glass factory, holds leases on
1900 acres in and around the city, and
not one acre will be drilled for oil as long as
this concern continues in business and the
wells produce gas. The company pays 81
600 for gas rental, which is only about one
third of what it would have to pay for fuel
If 1t was other than natural gas. The COM
pany expends annually in wages and for
material 5000, 900. which is considerably more
than is paid for all the oil produced in In
diana. Should gas give way to oil it would
seriously cripple the manufacturing inter-
ests of Hartford City.

BY this time my success in outstripping
