THREW MONEY DOWN.
Count Gizycki Showers Cash on
Pleasing Musicians.

Newport, r. L, Sept. 2O.-AIl society
is talking with a keen interest of Count
Gizycki and the unusual part he took
in the fun-making on the occasion of
the dinner dance of NJ G.. Deschamps
of the French diplomatic service re-
Gently.
Count Gizycki has recently arrived
from Austria to attend the wedding of
Miss Julia Grant to Prince Cantacu-
zene, of whom he is a very intimate
friends. He had already attracted con-
gallant bearing. He was not known,
however, to be an enthusiast upon
music until the night of NJ. Deschamps'
cOtillOn.
After having played a Russian air in
compliment of Prince CantacuZene the
musicians, who were in fine mettle that
night, struck into an Austrian gavOtte.
The count recognized it at once and
was so delighted to hear it that he
drew a roll of SO bills from his pocket
and threw them down upon the must
clans, who were standing below him.
Naturally, the men were a little ex-
cited by the shower of crisp greenbacks,
but after they had shaken one another
and found that they were really awake.
and had also observed that the money
was real, they finished their selection
under embarrassment. The dance, of
course, had been interrupted by the
counts show of generosity, which
caused a flutter, ending in a round of
applause for the young nobleman.
AS it happened that the bills did not
quite go around among the men the
count tore several of a Jaeger denom-
nation in two, so that every man
should receive his share of his token
of appreciation of the playing.

CROKER LOSES.
In His First Contest With the
Sheehan Faction.

New York, Sept. 20.-Democratic pri-
maries were held in the various assem-
bly, districts in this city last night. In
the ninth assembly district, John G.
Sheehan defeated the Croker faction by
some 300 votes. The Shehanites were
in a great state of jubilation at the Pc
quod club when the result became
known.
Frank J. Goodwin, councilman, rep
resented Richard Croker and Tammany
hall in this district, and he himself con-
ceded Sheehan'S victory, although the
official count has not been made.
One of the coincidents of the con-
test in this district was the diStr1bu-
ton early in the day of two ballots,
one containing the names OF the 5000
win general committee headed by
Frank J. Goodwin, the other ticket
headed by John c. Sheehan and con-
tanning only the names on the ticket
headed by Goodwin, for whose name
Sheehan's name had been substituted.
This was declared bogus by Mr.. Shee-
han, and resulted in many close quar-
ter conflicts during the course of the
election.
At the Pequod club, when it became
known that Sheehan had won his fight
a great crowd gathered, cheers We're
given necessarily, and the crowd cele-
brated royalty.
In the large hall on the first floor
there hung a portrait of Richard Crok-
err The crowd first hooted the face of
the chief, and then somebody yelled
to tear it down. I'VE don't want him
in this district" they shouted.
The crowd nearest the wall where 1t
hung caught hold of the frame and start
ed to pull it down. Mr.. Sheehan, upstairs,
heard the yelling and came down. Don't
do that" he said. We are not pulling
pictures down now
The face on the wall did not please the
crowd, however, and it was turned to the
wall. At Mr.. Sheehan's direction it was
turned back again a little later but IN a
moment il was looking toward the wall
again. Mr. Sheehan received an ovation
wherever he went in the district The
crowd cheered and yelled and half
dozen orators harangued, denOuncing
Croker. Mr.. Sheehan went down to police
headquarters about II O'Clock and was
gone two hours. During his absence the
crowd took Mr.. Cookers picture, smash
ed the glass in with their canes and threw
the picture into the street.
Mr. Sheehan his return said that
the official returns showed that he had
carried the district by about $50 If the
scratched ballots were not counted and

OPPOSE THE GAGE PLAN.
Sentiment of congressman as Learned
In Washington.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Quiet inquiries
to determine the status of the next con-
gress on the question of currency legis-
latiOn the coming winter. The replies
as yet are not sufficiently in detail to
indicate exact results, but from the
opinions gathered it seems evident that
the currency legislation at the coming
session is likely to be exceedingly con-
sentative.
The asset banking scheme. fathered
by Secretary Gage and the Indianapo-
lis conference, is apparently out of the
question. Comptroller Dawes report
on the subject has rendered it difficult
for the advocates of the Baltimore plan
as it used to be called, to receive much
consideration. At the same time many
members of congress object to making
any concession to the fiat money sent
iment, which was and still is back of
the free coinage agitation. There is
considerable unanimity among Repub-
Hcan members for a scheme of currency
reform generally along the lines laid
down by the president.
The popular plan is to permit the ma
tional banks to issue bond secured cir
culation up to par, reducing the tax to
about a quarter of a cent, and permit
ting banks to be organized with a CAP
ital down to $4,000 in small towns. To
this extent the presidents plan is gen
orally acceptable, but there is some crit
icism of the plans for a general reserve,
in which shall be held paper notes re-
deemed in gold until they are again
paid out in gold. Some members fear
this would result in serious contraction
of the currency whenever the banks
took a notion to achieve such a result
by raiding the gold reserve and thus
locking up the notes. Others believe
this temporary contraction is the best
possible safeguard for the reserve as
it would tend to prevent the gold raids

HELP COMES TO BANKS
Checks For October Interest Are
Issued Today.

New York Sept. 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Checks for the payment of the antici-
pated October interest on government
bonds were mailed from the treasury de-
partment this morning. Most of these
checks which will aggregate more tnan
five millions, will be cashed within the
next few days and will. in a measure, re
HeVe the present demand for money that
is being made upon the banks in all parts
of the country. It is not proposed by the
treasury authorities to take any further
steps at this time toward relieving the
New York situation It is believed that
the New York bankers themselves can
get out of the present difficulty without
government assistance.
Should it appear hereafter however,
that action on the part of the treasury
is necessary there is no doubt that some
government in national banks are already
large, amounting to nearly SSl, 000,O0O The
item OF disbursing officers balances also
unusually large, amounting to more than
sixty millions.
If there should be danger of a monetary
erless to control without assistance the
deposits might be considerably increased
but there is no present intention OF doing
anything of the kind.
Controller of the Currency Dawes de-
clined to discuss the question of those
reserves to fall below the legal limit or to
say what action If any. he had taken or
contemplated. It can be said, however.
that there is no disposition on the part OF
any of the officials to increase the d1ff1-
culties of the banks in any way
