wagons, was arrested yesterday on war
rant for larceny after trust. MIR. G. l..
Cliff swore out the warrant before Justice
Bevans The amount of Holmes alleged
defalcation in the warrant is Sl3, but Mr.
Cliff said that 500 would be a safer esti-
mate of the amount the laundry is out by
his neglect to turn over sums he had col
lected for IL. At last account Holmes was
awaiting some ones arrival to sign bond
in the sum of $500 to guarantee his ap-
pearance before higher court.

UNPLEASANT FOR CITIZENS.
They Criticise the Appearance at the
Exchange of Hangers-On.


For the last few days the city exchange
has been turned into beehive of polit-
ical parasites, and complaint after COM
plant has been made by citizens who have
to go to the exchange on business, that
the surroundings there were such as to
make it most undesirable for them TO en-
ter the building.
The complaint has been made, not only
by citizens outside, but by some of the
city officials, whose offices are there, and
though 1t Is a condition of affairs which
they in no wise enjoy, they are naturally
silent with regard to It, One or two OF
them were commenting upon the matter
among their friends on the street yester-
day, and did not hesitate to express their
opinion freely.
'For the last week or more" one of them
said, "the city exchange has been a place.
not only unfit for ladies to enter, but for
gentlemen as well, and IL is well known
that both have to go there frequently on
business / saw lady there to-day, who
had to wait for some minutes before she
could get by a crowd of drunken negroes,
whose vile oaths would have shocked far
coarser ears than he's. 1t is the first
time have ever known the city exchange
, 10 be turned into a political headquarters,
where the rag-tag and bobtail gathered
to drink and prey on any OF the politicians
who were willing to give them money
presumably from the political treasury,
and, of course, net from their own pocket
books"
1t appears from what has been said and
observed that these political hangers-on
have not only monopolized the sidewalks
in front of the exchange and the halls OF
the building but they have been frequent
ly seen In some of the Offices. The floors
of the building have been made filthy by
tobacco, while the air has frequently been
in the same condition, made so by the lam
guage Of those there assembled 1t IS
said that some Of the officials In the eX-
change, be il to their credit have tried 10
prevent this condition Of affairs In so FAR
as Il was possible for them to do so, but
the citizens who have spoken Of II have
made the pertinent query as to who Is re-
sponsible. and why is the evil not RENEE
died? The citizens who have entered these
complaints and made these criticisms have
not done so through any particular pollt-
zeal feellng-there are as many OF them on
one Side Of the fence as there are on the
other. They say they simply think It Is
due the people Of the city that idlers ana
political parasites of the worst character
should not be allowed to congregate In the

THE DETROIT RETURNS HOME.
Her Route Will BE by Suez and
PInEue stricken India.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The navy depart
ment finally admitted to-day that the
cruiser Detroit, now on the China sta
ton, would leave for home about Feb 2,
proceeding to New York via the Suez ca
nal 1t had been known for some time that
the ship was coming home, and it had
been understood that she would cross the
Pacific direct to San Francisco, the near
est home port, as is usual with vessels
from the Asiatic squadron, but that her
officers and men were to be exposed to
the ravages of the bubonic plague by the
absolutely essential stops for coal at in
fected East Indian ports, including those
on the Red sea, where healthy conditions
never exist, created establishment in Of
fetal circles.
The orders to the Detroit were issued
before the extent of the plague was real
lied. having gone forward by mail, and in
exclamation of the fact that the ship is
ordered over 1900 miles instead of 4.50C
miles to San Francisco, it is said that the
Detroit is needed for the North Atlantic,
and the Suez route is shorter to New
York. The feasible itinerary of the De-
troit from Nagastrock homeward is as
follows: Shanghai, 800 miles; Hong Kong,
