We should like to see all violators
Of the election laws punished no
matter who gets hurt in administer
ing the law. We don't like to see
two kinds of laws as have been in
vogue in Delaware for nearly half
Sa century. The Democratic party
in this State kept itself in power
for years by the grossest kind of
frauds at the ballot box and by
cheating Republicans out Of their
votes on the day of election by dis
iranchising them. Now the Repub-
licans, instead of fighting their
common enemy, the Democrats. have
been for six years fighting each
other with the usual result. 1t is
time such foolishness stopped and
good and capable men elected to Of
flee to administer the affairs Of the
city and State. The State would
most certainly take on new lease
of life under Republican rule. New
capital would seek Investment here
that would give employment to hun
dreds Of hands, thus contributing
to the general prosperity of Della
ware. The last Legislature that
had Republican majority, on joint
ballot, passed one of the best laws
for revenue producing that has ever
been passed in the State. This is
only one Of many good laws that
would be passed by the Republi-
cans.

AFTER ANOTHER cApIrAL,


Our Troops win Try to Capture Asui-
naldO 1t Calumpis.
Warrington, April 25.--Information
received at the war department indi-
Gates that General Otis 10 about to
execute another important movement.
The objective point Ia the insurgent
town of Calumpit, lying about eight
miles northeast Of Malolcs. Il was
here that the insurgents concentrated
after being driven out Of their capital,
setting up q new capital and making
1t the base Of their operations. Aguin-
aldo is supposed to be at Calumpit In
moving on this stronghold General
Otis proposes to conduct two distinct
operations. The first one, under Ma
jor General Macarthur, has for its pur-
pose pushing straight forward from
Malolos along the railroad and strik-
ing at Calumpit from the. south. The
second one Is under Major General
Lawton, who. with his flying column,
Ia moving far around to the north
east, to the large town Of Nar7agay,
from which point he will turn abruptly
west toward Calumpit. This last move
will take about ten days, and military
strategists look upon It as another Of
fort to flank the insurgents by get
ting behind them at Calumpit, similar
to the flank movement which General
Macarthur attempted to execute at
Malabon.
This double operation makes Calum-
pit the center for the next few days,
while attention will be divided between
MacArthur's column advancing from
Malolos and Lawton's column on its
ten days march by Norzagay. Mac
Arthur has only short distance to
traverse, 30 that his forces may be
engaged with the main force of the
insurgents within the next few hours.

Trying to End the Glass Strike

Bridgeton, N. j., April 25.--A COM
mittee of business men consisting of r.
w. Hunt, John Cheeman and John S.
Ware and Henry c. Mayhem, a glass;
worker, yesterday accompanied Presi-
dent Hayes, of the Bottle Blowers Ma
tional association, to the office of the
Cumberland Glass company and there
held long conference with Clement
W. Shoemaker, the head of the COM
pany. The proceedings were secret,
but President Hayes said after the con-
ference that he is confident an agree
ment can be reached which will ter
inmate the strike. The Cumberland
company is acting solely for ITSELF but
it is believed the other manufacturers
would readily accept any agreement
which would be satisfactory to the
Cumberland people.

GERMAN VIEW OF COGhLAN.
kalscr's Government Satisfied with
Secretary HAYS Disanproyal.

kalscr's Government Satisfied with
Secretary Hays Disapproval.
Berlin, April 25.-John Hay, secre-
tary of state of the United States, has
expressed to the German ambassador
at Washington DR.. Won Holleben, his
emphatic disapproval Of the conduct Of
Joseph B. Coghlan, Of the United
States cruiser Raleigh, in uttering In
a recent speech sentiments calculated
to irritate the German government.
In official circles the Cohlan incl
dent is regarded mildly as an "aus-
fuss der weinlaune" expression Of
wine humor). A representative of the
foreign Office said:
"The American government has
promptly and efficiently done all We
could reasonably expect. This alone,
even If it were not for other indica-
TONS, shows us that the American gov
eminent in no way identifies itself
with the utterances of a solitary Of
ficer."
The Tageblatt in an inspired arti-
Gle recalls the fact that the incident is
a year old referring to the message
which Admiral Dewey Is said to have
sent to Admiral Won Diedrichs), and
adds:
If we must admit Admiral Dewey
at first harbored suspicious of the Ger
man squadron, these suspicious were
subsequently removed and their rela-
lions became most cordial, Admiral
Dewey even decorating his ships with
flags on the empress birthday which
international etiquette did not compel
him to do"
The Lokal Anzeiger, in somewhat
violent denunciation of Captain Cogh-
Ian, says:
He comes Of Irish American line
age, which VIGOROUSLY produces the
roughs, both high and low, of the
American classes"
The Boersen- Courier thinks 1t
strange the Americans recommence
to seek quarrel with Germany in
stead of first conquering the Fllipinos,
who promise to give them enough
work for some time"
The Vossiche Zeitung adds: Captain
Coghlan belongs to the class of Ameri-
can officers who have swelled heads in
consequence of their easy victory over
Spain,'

SENSATIONAL ARRESTS
In Pennsylvania Celebrated Ooun-
terfeiting Case.
EX-DIsTRIoT ATTORNEY INaHAM,

Of philadelphia, and Deputy Inter
nal Revenue Collector of Lancaster
Charged with Completely with ths
Lancaster Cigar Manufacturers.
Philadelphia, April 25.-The sensa.
ton that has been looked for In the
gigantic. counterfeiting scheme un.
earthed by the secret service bureau
after a year Of patient work came ia
light yesterday afternoon in the arres,
Of ex-United States District Attorney
Ellery p. lngham, charged in the
same manner as his law partner, ex-
Assistant United States District At
torney Harvey X. hewitt, with having
conspired to bride secret service op-
eratiye to divulge secrets of the bu-
reau that would insure those engaged
In defrauding the government protec-
ton from arrest. Mr.. Ingham was
taken before Commissioner Edmunds,
who held him in $4,000 bail for a
hearing today. The bail was furnished
and Ingham appeared before the COM
missioner again today, with hewitt,
and the cases were continued until
Thursday, the same bail being &C.
cepted in both cases.
Chief Wilkie and Chief Burns ar
rived here late last night from Lancas-
ter with Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Downey in their custody. The
prisoner was turned over to Deputy
United States Marshal Foster.
Chief Wilkie said to a reporter that
Downey had received between $500
and 81 500 from Jacobs as compensa-
tion to keep the latter informed of the
movements of the secret service men.
"On Oct. 10 last" the chief said,
"Downey called at Jacobs office. The
latter noticed that something was
wrong with the revenue officer, and
asked him what was the matter with
him. Downey informed him that he
was In financial trouble and did not
know how he could get out of 1t. Then
Jacobs offered to loan Downey 500.
The latter accepted the offer and vol
unteered to keep Jacobs informed OF
what the government officials were do
ing, Downey knowing that Jacobs was
defrauding the government. From that
time on DowRey frequently touched
Jacobs for various amounts. The last
money paid to Downey was on April
II. when Jacobs gave him $780,"
In regard to the arrest Of Ingham
Chief Wilkie would not say much. "All
can say is this" he said, that Jacobs
and the rest of the gang wanted to get
inside information from the secret SER
vice men in this city. Ingham and
hewitt were formerly United States at
torneys and knew much of the inside
workings of the government. Jacobs
knew this and approached them eau
tiously, but he finally got there.
These arrests are the last that will
be made in connection with this case,
unless there is more in it than
we know of now. l am perfectly sat
isf1ed with the result of our years
work. In results it was the greatest
capture ever made by the secret SER
vice. Taylor and Bredell had already
put into circulation bogus $500 treas
ury notes to the amount of $4,000, and
Jacobs and Kendig had placed coun-
terfeit stamps on boxes containing be-
tween 100000 and 50,O00,OOO cigars.
The loss to the government from the
cigar stamps alone will amount to
about $40, 1000"

THE ARREST OF DOWNEY,
Charged With Furnishing Information
For Cash Consideration,

Charged With Furnishing Information
For Cash Consideration.
Lancaster, Pa, April 25.-One of the
most important arrests in the great
counterfeiting conspiracy was made in
this city yesterday by Captain Burns,
of the secret service. Samuel B. Dow
ney, an outside deputy revenue col
lector, was taken into custody and held
in $4,000 bail for trial. The town IS
greatly excited over the arrest.
Early in the day Deputy Collector
Downey received an mixing that the
secret service men were after him, and
he at once repaired to Brown G Hen
sells office, they being his counsel. As
he came out of the Office Captain
Burns placed him under arrest and es-
corted him to Collector Hershey's Of
flee in the postoflice building. Then
he was taken to the Office of United
States Commissioner B. F. Montgom-
cry, who fixed his bail at $4,000, which
he was unable to secure.
Downey has made a complete con-
fession. Last April, when Taylor and
Bredell, the engravers, of Philadelphia,
had made their arrangements with ia
cobs & Kendig, Captain Burns came
here and secured detailed information
regarding the habits of the cigar man.
ufacturers. They introduced the se-
cret service man to Downey, who APP
peared to Burns to be over jealous in
his efforts to assist the detective. He
was continually admonished.
Last October Jacobs & Kendig clean
ed out their plants, which aroused Cap
tain Burns suspicion. He knew they
had received information from Dow
ney, but attributed it to his anxiety to
assist the secret service. Jacobs &
Kendig did not trust Downey, and
made an effort to reach the secret
service. They had paid Downey, the
detectives say, $500 to keep them in
formed, but feared that he was not re-
liable. After the alleged attempted
bribery by hewitt, in Philadelphia,
Burns told Downey that the secret SER
vice was disguised with the case and
intended to drop it. This information
was conveyed to Jacobs & Kendig, who
then began to work like beavers and
flooded the country with cigars con-
tanning bogus stamps. The secret SER
vice men say they now have all the
culprits under arrest.
Downey was appointed four years
ago by Raymond E. Shearer, Demo-
cratic collector, and was so well
thought of that Collector Hershey, Re-
publican, retained him in office.

The idea of such a man as Geo.
Chance, formerly of this city, but
now Of Philadelphia, advising the
glass workers OF Jersey to strike.
He was one of the ring leaders in
the big strike of printers that took
place IN the Philadelphia Record
Office where he was making from
$50 to SIS a week. He has often
been glad to make that much per
month since. He has become regu-
lar demogague and poses as labor
leader, that the workingmen are
foolish enough to help support. He
finds it more profitable to go around
stirring up strife and trouble be-
tween employer and employee than
working at his trade of printing.
He is wonder even unto himself.
