Seeking TO BOLSTER UP HIS
HOPELESS CASE.
IGNORED BY THE PRESIDENT
Failed to Secure a Copy of Recent
Instructions to u. s.
Commissioners.

Chicago, Oct, 2~3--senator Jones,
chairman OF the democratic national
committee made this following state
ment today;
1.-THE instructions given TO the com
missiopers on The part Ut the United
States 10 negotiate a treaty with Spain
In Paris In 1893 have never, 40 far AZ |
know, been made public, When the
treaty was before the senate for ratif-
cation there WA % great demand that
these instructions should BIO made
public. 10 great WAS the desire for
Information that many newspapers
published what was claimed 10 BIO the
inside information about these insfrnc.
ti0ps contained, BuS for some reason,
and doubtless not an npimpDrtant one,
this desire was not gratifed,
1.-THE president, Nv his letter ~ nc
ceptaDee, quoted part 0f these, as !
understand, secret Instructions. nd
dressed him IN note on October 3,
calling his attention 10 this fact, and
requested that, ipaegneh ~ part of

favorable 40 the position Of his politi.

mainder should be made public.

graphic blanks which he would far
nisll. Having secured originals, he
would forge duplicates of the same
number and denominations to ANY ex-
tent he wished. The originals he
would sell but the forged he would
use a. collateral security for loans.
III was estimated that at time OF his
exposure he had out between $3.50, 600
and 300, 900 OF forged bonds as col
lateral for loans.
He secured these loans from banks,
finaciaI and insurance companies all
over the country, large loans having
been secured In Boston. Lewis es-
capped detection ia his speculations by
paying interest on his loans and then
clipping coupons on the forged bond
which he would pretend to collect.
He WAS pardoned from the penitent-
iary In d dying condition.

Don Eggleston was fifteen or sixteen
years old. Both his father and mother

who was formerly a resident OF Iowa,
has written a very comical, indignant
letter to the adjutant general because
that officer declines to give the afore-
said old soldier record different from.
that which the records Of his office
show he is entitled to. This man en-
listed from Marshalltown, was mus
tered in at Des Moines. served about
three years and deserted from hos
.pital. A few years ago by an act OF
congress he got the record wiped out in
the war department. so that he coul6
draw pension. Upon inquiry at the
Office Of the adjutant general of Iowa
he was Informed that the records show
simply that he deserted and that the
disability resulting therefrom had not
been removed by act of congress.
Thereupon he assailed the adjutant
general for not physically expunging
the word "deserter' from his records.
The old soldier claimed that he had not
deserted. but simply gone away
from the hospital after his time of SER
vice had expired, altho he does not
claim that he went thru the formality
of securing discharge. Incidents like
this are not very frequent, but it does
sometimes happen that troublesome
records are doctored up by congress
many years after the cause thereof has
disappeared.

at that place. which is to take tht
place of the company at Cherokee

Sioux City. June 1.-If the statements
of the rector of the cathedral in pu-
buque and certified copy of the ca
thedral records will be admitted IN evil
dence before Judge Graves at Dakota
4 City June Z 1t would look very much as
ESif Miss ,McAilister's age can no longer
be in doubt. In her answer to the pc
ltition for writ OF habeas corpus as
filed by Fred Schriever. Of Dakota City,

the custody of Sheriff Daily at Pender
