Army and Navy Union Condemns
Newspapers for Printing News.

Kansas City, No, Oct 29.-The Army
and Navy union continued in executive
session last evening but only routine
business was transa cted-
Resolutions were adopted criticising
the press of Chicago for it's method Of
treating passing events at F't. Sheridan
The resolutions recite that newspaper
criticism of alleged brutality in the ar
my create false Impressions as to the
lot of the common soldier and declare
he is better treated, fed, and housed
than is the soldier Of any other nation
Instances of brutality are declared to be
exceptionally rare. The resolutions
seek to inform the public that no wide
gulf separates officers and men and
that the line of social demarkatiOn IS
fairly drawn. In conclusion the resO-
lutions regret the inclination of the
Chicago newspapers to magnify every
detail of INSTRUMENTATION at TT Sheri-

Wanted n Foreign Devil.

The following story is told of the first
appearance OF a paddle wheel steamer on
the Canton river some 40 years ago and
of the native attempt to copy her. A junk,
of course, was in every way superior TO n
foreign built ship, and only wanted pad
die wheels to completely eclipse this new
craft Accordingly, paddle wheels were
fitted to a junk, "A funnel put up, al
some wood lighted underneath it, When
the smoke was coming up freely, the an
chor was weighed, the wheels moved
slightly, aud off the junk started, to the
delight of tho proud owners.
But their pride was short lived for
few collisions soon proved TO them that
the tide alone was responsible for the
movement. 20 the anchor was let down
again and tho situation discussed. Tho
next step was to put n Chinese joss by the
fro, but with no better result They
could not mako out why their boat failed
to compare favorably with the foreign
boat until n wiseaorc discovered that n
Chinese joss was no good Tor that busi-
ness, but it was u foreign dow that they
wanted inside.
None of them, however, had any idea
how to get one, so they decided that the
Sld fashioned junk was far the best and

Bank Examiner Claiming Bingham
has sworn out warrants for the ar
rest OF John b. MeiXell, cashier, and
Willis Fl. Hoch, teller of the South
bethlehem National bank, upon the
charge of embezzing funds of the
bank. The amount of the enbe2zlement
Is not yet definitely ascertained, but
from what has been thus far discovered
it is stated TO be $4,000 or $1,000 which

good. 1t is said that Cashier Meixell
left town early Tuesday for parts un-
known On Tuesday the tellers cash
account was short about $1,000, al
though it had been correct the day
before, and Hoch had disappeared Yes

of the missing funds. The embezzle-
ment was discovered on the semi-an-
nual visit of Examiner Bingham,
which was unexpected. 1t is said that

TEST VOTE ON THE TARIFF.
The First Vote in the Senate Sustains
the Finance Committee,

the Finance Committee.
Washington, May 27.-The first vote
on the tariff bill was taken In the SEN
ate yesterday. It came after a two
hours debate on the item of boracic
acid which, although comparatively
unimportant afforded an opportunity
for the first alignment of the various
elements.
Mr.. Vest, Of Missouri. a Democratic
member of the finance committee,
moved to make the rate on boracic
acid three cents instead of five cents
per pound, as provided by the COM
mittee. This presented a direct issue
between the committee and the op-
ponents of the bill. The amendment
was defeated by a vote of 20 to a. The
vote was largely on party lines. The
affirmative was made up of 10 Demo-
Gratis and l Popuist, Heitfel. The Mega
tive was made up of 20 Rpublicans, 2
Democrats (McIGnery of Louisiana and
White of California;, 2 silver Republi-
cans Cannon of Utah and Jones of
Nevada) and l Populist Stewart df
Nevada).
The debate was participated in by
Senators Vest, Jones (Ark.), Aldrich,
Perkins, White, Caffery, Gray and
Stewart. Mr.. White, a Democratic
member of the finance committee, op-
posed Mr.. Vests amendment, urging
that the California industry required
the rate allowed by the committee.
Seven paragraphs of the bill were
considered during the day, the CONF
mittee being sustained in each in
stance.
The resolution was agreed to aul
thorizng the secretary of the navy to
employ any suitable ship in forward

INDICTMENTS AGAINST JOHNSON
The Indiana Banker Invested Others
Funds in Speculation.


Indianapolia May 2.-The federal
grand Jury found is indictments
against John F. Johnson, late president
of the State National bank of Logans-
port, Ind. He is charged with violat-
ing practically every section of the ma
tlonal banking law, including forgery.
1t Is found that the directors of the
bank cannot be indicted for stupidity
and incompetence, whiA the federal
authorities indicate is the chief trouble
with them.
Bank Examiner Caldwell yesterday
afternoon found in private box in the
vault of the wrecked State National
bank at Laporte some privte corres-
pondence belonging to ex-President
John f. johnson, which throws some
light on the channels which absorbed
the missing money. ~
Mr.. johnson was interested with ex-
United States Treasurer ]. N. Huston,
Of Connorsville, Ind, in a phosphate
bed in Virginia, and the loss in this di-
rection will probably amount to $780,
900. The ex-president was also an ex-
tensive investor in oil and gas land
leases near Gas City, Ind, but just
what sum was sunk in this enterprise
is not known. His dealings in Colorado
and wyoming mining stocks swal-
lowed up another big sum, the pre-

Johnson's shortage, which already

cation of the bank is not thought pos
slble, and receiver will be appointed.
