Buffalo, y. Y, June 1S.-The final di-
rect verbal plea for another chance be-

the first half of the arraignment Of
the people in resistance were heard by
the court of appeals today.
John G Milburn, representing Mo-

Senator David B. Hill, whose argument
in opposition lasted until court arose
at o'clock. Mr.. Hill will close by
noon tomorrow and with a brief reply
for the appellant, the case will be sub
mitted to the court.
1t was a day of oratory, stirred at
times to the thrilling point with touch
es of invective. Milburn's close was
vigorous. He began with a direct at
tack upon the policy throughout the
trial of Recorder Goff He charged the
latter with favoritism toward District
Attorney Osborne, whose methods he
also questioned, and prejudice against
Attorney Barlow S. Weeks.

WHOLESALE COUNTERFEITIN
OF American Silver Dollars by Gang
In Mexfco-One Captured

Mexico City, June ia Mexican
cured the arrest of Jose Frias, one of
the gang who have been engaged in
counterfeiting American dollars. The
police now know this business OF
coTnterfeiting American dollars has
been a very extensive one.
One of the members of the band has
been travelling in the interior states
disguised as q tourist, business man
and frontier merchant. Speaking Span
ish with marked English accent, he
made the acquaintance of merchants
and bankers and offered them Ameri-
can silver dollars at a premium of from
60 to 80 per cent. usually at a figure be-
low that indicated by the current rate
of exchange. The dollars were well
executed, the milling being good, and
the lettering and the American eagle
were perfect. All bear date Of the year
1890 and all have been treated to a
chemical bath which gives them the
ton. Many brokers, bankers and busi-
ness men received the dollars in good
faith. On shipping them to the United
States, however, they were advised
that they were counterfeit.
Friars and one Of his associates have
been employed in the mint in this city
and also in nlints Of Guanajuato and
Zacatecas The dollars are made OF
pure silver according to the standard
American mints.
Colonel Villegas, chief of police OF
this city, is investigating the crime
which takes on larger proportions daily.

MRS. MCKINLEY CONVALESCENT
Her Physicians now Declare Her out
of Danger

Washington, June 18.-Doctors John
ston and RiXey held a consultation at
the White house this forenoon, at the
conclusion of which DR.. Johnston pro.
nounced Mrs. Mckinley out of danger
and convalescing. He said there may,
of course, be recurrence of her
trouble, but for the present the danger
is past. DR.. Johnston said that the
blood infection had disappeared en-
tirely.
Dr. Rixey, although evidently en-
couraged by the improvement in Mrs.
McKinley'S condition, was somewhat
more conservative in his statement
than DR.. Johnson. He thought it
scarcely safe to say that she was en-
tirely out of danger, as her extreme
weakness might precipitate a relapse,
but her condition was quite satisfac-
tory, her improvement being steady and
seemingly certain of continuance.
