BE STOOD BY GRANT.
Gen. Steadman Threatened to Whip a
Whole Room Full.

How are matters up in the northern neck
well-known Toledo brewer. at the New
Willard They are simply booming. All
kinds of business is prospecting Merchants.
real estate men, farmers, cartmen, hack
men, vessel owners, proprietors OF opera
houses, all are doing land office business.
Why. we were too busy up our way to at
tend political meetings. We let them go
largely by default.
Even Tom Johnson, with his big tent
and the biggest show on earth, only drew
a moderate crowd, and a large percentage
that did attend was drawn thither out Of
curiosity. And by the same token we have
a great town in that particular neck of the
woods. No other western town of like
population does the same amount OF bust
ness. Business also Is on sound basis. as
failures are few. We are going more and
more each year into manufacturing. We
have several very large industries already
established.
sOf distinguished men Toledo has and
has had her share. If the town had only
given to the public service the late Chle1
Justice Morrison r. Waite She would have
contributed her share. And there were oth-
ers such as the late James M; Asniey,
Frank Hurd and last. but not least. the
late Major General James B. Steadman. A
monument has been erected to his memory
In a conspicuous part Of the city.

Steadmans career. was erratlc. but he was

Douglas. and once journeyed to Washing
ton for the purpose of killing Henry A
Wise because Of some fancied injury done
by Wise to Douglas. The latter, hearing
of the errand Steadman was on, got hod Of
him and persuaded him that such a thing
would do more harm than good.
Along in the late eos Steadman decided
to offer his sword to the Cubans, who were
al the time having their usual scrap with
Spain. He had no sooner landed in Ha-
vana than he was spotted. One night he
got too full of champagne, talked incau-
tiously and was thrown into Moro Castle.
For some days in succession he wrote
notes, put them In bottles and threw them
into the water. One of these bottles was
picked up by Admiral Hoff, who was cruis-
ing in Cuban waters, and he straightway
demanded Steadman's release. The Spanish
authorities demurred, but finally acquissced.
To make sure that Hoff was acting within
his authority a dispatch boat was sent to
New Orleans with orders to the officer in
charge to telegraph President Grant, ask
ing him If he had authorized the demand
for Steadman's release. When Grant re-
ceived the telegram he was very much mis-
titled as to its meaning; but, deciding to
chance 1t, he replied in the affirmative.
hof in the meantime had also dispatched a
boat in charge of officer, who was
dered to explain the case in full, but the
Spanish boat got into port first,

he heard man In an adjoining room de-
nouncing Grant. Steadman, glass In hand,

Nc one answered. Steadman was a power
full and dangerous man when aroused, and
when he announced that he would lick
every man in the room so as to be sure he
would get hold of the right person every
one fed. Steadman's excuse for his defense
of Grant was that he had stood by him
when he needed help, and one good turn de-
served another in kind.

teal bankers, were able to appreciate the
effect Of the changes which he advocated,
and this was brought out by the line or
questions which were asked after the speak
er had concluded the formal part of his
speech.
AS is well known. Mr.. Fowler's plan con-
templates a system of branch banks
throughout the country under the superVis-
ion of the Secretary of the Treasury and
the controller of the currency. Under his
plan the gold standard is maintained and
the 5000, 900, 600 of treasury notes retired, the
retirement being gradual and extending
over a number of years The change, he
contended, would bring about a lower rate
of interest in at least the greater part Of
the country and a rate uniform throughout
the United States, plus, very probably. the
cost of shipment of the currency. The
operation of the system. he held, would
reduce the danger of panics. The plan Of
branch banks advocated, he said, is IN
operation in Canada, in England, in France,
in Germany and in other countries, and in
each of these countries with most Crafty
ing results.
There are two kinds of panics,' said the
speaker. zone is a credit panic; the other
is currency panic. A credit panic is Ii
able to come to a country at any time, but
there should never be a currency panic.
Gold Is the touchstone of the credit of your
land There is not single credit of a COM
mercial character but you have measure
in gold A commercial reserve should be
in the banks at all times. and the banks
should be compelled to pay gold; ana there
shall never be commercial reserve till the
greenbackS are paid on.
BY system of banks. money not needed
in one place could be sent on to those places
that do need 1t at that time. Sections Of
country need money when other sections
do not according to the character of the
business of these sections and the seasons
The money would not be held in the banks
unused, as it now is, but forwarded to the
points seeking 1t. We would not need the
extent of currency we now have, and what
we had would give greater service"

WHICH REPUBLIC NEXTp
This Is the Question Which the Colon
bans Are Asking.

bans Are Asking.
A special to the Baltimore Sun from Pan
anna Colombia, says: Intense excitement
continues here over the situation In Ven
ezuela.
Bitter feeling prevails against what il
called the unjustifable aggression of the
Anglo-German alliance. Statements that
the United States is regarding the affair
with Indifference are CALLING. South and
Central Americans on the isthmus are dis
appointed with the Roosevet-Hay interpre-
tation Of the Monroe doctrine, which they
unfavorably compare with the policy of
President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard
in 1896. The energetic efforts of Mr. Cleve-
land and his success in causing England to
recede from her position created a senti-
ment Of deep respect for the power of the
United States.
Now Spanish-Americans have reversed
their opinion. 1t Is the general impression
here that the United States will never be
able to sign treaty for a canal without
the consent of the Anglo-German alliance
or against its opposition.
Colombians feel that they are justified in
being alarmed over the situation. 1t Is
pointed out that Colombia may soon be
brought to account for hundreds of German
and British claims, which will be rigor-
ously disputed These alleged debts, which
grew out of the late revolution, are said to
be imaginary in many cases, yet with the
present Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine Colombians feel that they are at the
mercy Of the whims of European powers.
They declare that the United States, to
hold it's prestige In the South American
republics, must put more vigorous inter-
probation on the doctrine.
1t Is the general impression on the 18TH
mus that Patos Island Is at the bottom OF
the aggressiveness Of England. The belief
is that England has combined with Ger
many under the pretext of collecting I'M
acknowledged debts, SO as to punish Presi-
dent Castro for his firm determination not
to allow England to usurp Patos Island ana
other valuable possessions In the neighbor-
hood Of the Orinoco river.

INTERNATIONAL GOLF.
Harvard Puts Yale Out-Some Cracks
 Beaten.


 Beaten
 Morristown, N. J., Oct. 21.-Harvard put out Yale, holder of the title, in the team championship to-day of the inter- collegiate golf association. The matches were played on the new links of the Morris County Golf club, which have been extended to 5,911 yards since the spring and completely changed by the encouragement of the holes, mak- ing new course, and the scores made to-day were therefore new records. In the morning Harvard played Co., lumbfa, the one feature being the de- feat of A. Chandler Egan, the Western Golf association champion, by Glenpey one of the best of the New Jersey set of golfers. Glenney won by 1 up.
 Princeton and Pennsylvania met for the first time in the afternoon, the for mer team winning in most decisive style. Mcfarland, runner up in the the last intercollegiate individual championship and in the "All Philadel- phia" championship contest last week had been relied on to win his match, but he was beaten by no less than 3 up by Reinhart, the boy who beat Wal ter J. Travis, the noted amateur, over the same course last spring.
 The two westerners, the Egans, sav- ed the day for Harvard in the match with Yale, all the others on the team going down to defeat. Brown and Pot ter halved their match. Rollins, jr., . who went to college with clean rec ord from the Metropolitan tournaments, had been picked to beat Hitchcock, jr., the present individual champion of the F collegians, and this match was feat ure. All even at the fifteenth, Hitch cock won out by 2 up
 Since the beginning of the series Harvard has beaten Yale four times to three. Tomorrow, in the 36 hole final round for the team championship, liar yard will meet Princeton. The indi- vidual championship games will begin on Thursday morning.
