Detectives Make an Important Ar
rest at Newark, N. j.
New York, Dec. 13.-Osmer w. Roper
Of Newark, N. j., was arrested yester-
day by United States Marshal Car
side, Postoffice Inspector w. G. Snow
and several detectives and committed
to Jail in default of $1,000 bail. The
charge is based upon an allegation that
he used the mails for swindling pur-
poses. The authorities claim that his
scheme was far better than Miller's
Franklin syndicate, in that he took In
plenty of money and seldom, If ever,
paid any out, except for running ex-
penses. They have fifty complaints
drawn up against him and say fifty
more are ready and that they a get
thousands Of them if need be. The
swindle, which they say it was, has
been in operation some time. Roper
employed a large office force Of clerks,
sterographers and typewriters, and he
did an enormous mail business. 1t is
claimed that Roper is the Realty Cor
porated Company of New Jersey, the
Realty Loan and Trust Fund COM
pany, the Realty Loan and Title COM
pany and -Four Per Cent Mortgage
company. The authorities say these
companies existed only on paper, al
though regularly incorporated, and
that in each case Roper was the only
person connected. Roper, Snow says,
did a large business, and his victims
are in every state of the Union, and in
clude people of all classes. He says
that even churches and other institu-
tons have been taken in by Roper.

Washington, Dec. IL. The feature
of the opening day in the debate on
the currency bill in the house was the
speech of MI. Dolliver of Iowa. 1t
was characterized by all the wit and
elouuence for which the Iowan is
noted. and held the members without
regard to party for more than two
hours. MI. Dolliver declared that the
last doubt Of the Republican party as
to the wisdom Of enacting the gold
standard into law had been dissolved
by the experience OF the business
world during the past three years. He
scored Mr.. Bryan and generally ridl-
culed the alleged prophecies Of the
Democrats in 1896.
Mr.. De Almond of Missouri was the
heavy gun on the Democratic side. He
warned the Democrats from the West
that they could not deceive their con-
%stituents in the coming election that
they had yielded to the judgment OF
their colleagues in caucus.
Mr.. Overstrect opened the debate for
the Republicans and Mr.. Maddox OF
Georgia replied to him. Mr.. Mcclellan
of New York was the only other speak
er. He announced his opposition to the
bill on the ground that it would con-
tract the currency, extinguish the bank
notes and enhance the value OF coin
bonds. He appealed to those of his
Democratic colleagues from New York
who, it is reported, intend to vote for
the bill, not to do so.
In the Senate.
An appeal by MI. Mason for an en-
preston of sympathy with the South
African republic in its wal with Great
Britain was the feature Of the session
of the senate. 1t was the first formal
address made in the senate this session
and was the cause OF close attention
by the senators and Il large gallery.
BY resolution of MI. Lodge the resolu-
ton was referred to the committee ON
foreign affairs, Mr.. Lodge considering
it too delicate a question in view of
the position Of this government to be
passed upon without serious discus
sion. No business was transacted by
the senate and an early adjournment
was taken.

on Suspicion.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 13.-Ed Nep.
tune, an ex-employe of the Pacific Ex-
press company, was arrested yesterday

ders Of Denver, of the Union Pacific

messenger from Omaha to Cheyenne,
and later from Cheyenne to Ogden, de-
MES the charges against him, and says
he was at his home at the time the
robbery was committed on Sunday
night. He has engaged an attorney
and will fight the case. Neptune's
home has been searched for the miss
ing money, but without success. 1t is
now officially reported that the robber
carried away S2,400 in cash and $4,000
worth of money orders and other val
lies. The detectives say that Neptune
was seer in the vicinity Of the office
a few minutes previous to the time the

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 1O.-The state
board of elections last night gave out
their official decision that w. s. Tay-
lor, for governor, and the rest of the
Republican ticket have been elected on

purely ministerial as canvassers; that
the face Of the returns as received
by them from the counties show the
election Of the Republican state ticket
and certificates Of election were or
dered issued to each candidate thereon.
Con missioner Pointz presents a mi
nority report which he closes by say
ing: II am unwilling to certify fraud
and to turn Kentucky owe to the con
troll Of the bayonet, Calling gun and
the fraudulent tissue ballots" Exten-
sive preparations are being made to

Manila, Dec. 12.-Gen. Gregario del
Pillar, commanding Aguinaldo's body
guard, was killed by Maj. Peyton
March's battalion of the T%hirty-third
infantry in a fight eighteen miles
northwest of Cervantes on Dec. 2. Ac-
cording to reports which Gen. Young
obtained from escaped prisoners at
Vigan several days ago, Maj. March
left the coast, where he was pursuing
Aguinaldo, and encountered Gen. del
Pillar on a fortified trail. They fought
for four hours, during which time sew
enty Filipinos were killed or wounded.
The American loss was one man killed
and six wounded. The Spaniards re-
port that Maj. March is still pursuing
the insurgents.
Manila, Dec. IL. - An expedition
headed by the %battleship Oregon left
Manila for Subig last night. 1t is re-
ported that the Filipino commander,
Gen. Alejandrino. with his. staff. has
surrendered to Gen. Macarthur. and
there is also a m that Alejandrino
is at Alguar, suffering from Il wound
received in IL fight between insurgents
and bandits. and that he will be given
an opportunity to surrender and will be
properly cared for. Maj. Spence. with
a column of the Thirty-second regi-
ment, captured a new insurgent camp.
an uncompleted stronghold, i'll the Tas-
san district.
Three Americans who. with Il CON-
missary sergeant of the Twelfth in
fantry, were travelling from San Fer
nando to Angeles. left their escort for
q moment and went into the bush. AS
they did not return speedily Il search
was made for them. but they could not
be found. They were probably cap
tured by the rebels.
A mail orderly disappeared between
Angeles and Bamban. He is supposed
to have been captured.
A force Of 400 insurgents yesterday
attacked near Batuga, a wagon train
escorted by thirty men of the Sixteenth
cavalry. A sharp engagement fol
lowed. The Filipinos lost eighteen i'll
killed and nine captured. During the
recent attack by the insurgents upon
Vigan the Filipinos obtained possession
Of the plaza and Of a church in the
center Of the town from which the
Americans dislodged them. 1t seems
the escaped Spaniards obtained guns
and fought with the Americans against
the insurgents.

Minor Candidates on teh Democratic
Ticket Will Make a Fight.
Louisville, KY, Dec. Is. A special
from Frankfort says: The minor can
didates on the state Democratic ticket
recently declared defeated on the face
of the returns by the state election
commission, intend to make a contest
before the state board sitting as a
contest board has been known here
among those on the inside ever since
the certificates were issued to the Re-
publicans, but it was generally thought
the contests would not be made until
after the meeting here on Thursday of
the Democratic general committee. 1t
comes from a reliable source that the
notices, if they can be prepared in
time, will be served on the successful
candidates to-day. Members of the
committee have been comforting with
Senator Goeble as to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of a contest by him and Mr.. Beckham
before the legislature.
