UNDER THE BAN.
Fraud Order Issued Against Bank in
st. Louis by the Post
master General.

Washington, July 10.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou has announced the
issuance of a fraud order against the
Peoples United States bank Of St.
Louis, Mo-, it's officers and agents, and
b. G. Lewis, a publisher, effective July
3. The action bars the company from
the use of the mails, after an investi-
cation by the postal authorities as to
the details of the business of the insti-
tuition.
The firm, which is capitalized for
$2,500,000, is declared to be doing an
illegal business. In six years Lewis,
beginning with nothing, has built up a
magazine with 100000 circulation
the largest in the world-and another
magazine with circulation of 100000.
With these subscribers to the Woman's
Magazine and the Woman's Farm Jour-
nal as basis he planned to organize
a great mail order bank which should
dominate the financial world and bring
into circulation the boarded gold of
farmers, who form the great majority
of his subscribers. He secured capt.
tai of $2,500,000 in cash from $4,000
stockholders and the deposits of per-
haps S500,000 for his bank.
The immediate cause for the issu-
ance of the fraud order and the begin
ming Of an investigation is a charge
that while Lewis has never put dol.
lar Of his own money into stock of the
bank he has nevertheless drawn
100000 from the institution for
stock and has loaned himself 5000, 900,

Over 100 Killed by Explosion in Welsh
Colliery-sixty-Ei Eight bodies
Recovered.

Cardiff, Wales, July 12-An explo-
sion of fire damp in No. pit of the Unit
ed National Colliery company at Watts
town, in the Rhondda valley, the cen
ter OF the great Welsh coal fields Tues
day morning, is believed to have re-
suited in the loss of at least 12O lives.
Sixty-eight bodies have been recovered.
The explosion was followed Immediate
ly by the belching of clouds of smoke
and dust from the pit shaft, in which
$50 men were working. The force OF the
explosion wrecked the machinery at the
mouth of the pit. All communication
with the doomed men in this direction
is completely cut off. No. shaft. ad-
joining, has ordinarily afforded COM
munication with No. 2. The 300 men in
No. 1 and the few who escaped from No.
2, were drawn up. A rescue party de-
scended, but it's work was seriously i'm
peded by the foul air and the falling
masses of earth dislodged by the explo-
sion. Heroic efforts have been made
for hours to reach the entombed men,
but the absence of all sound from the
interior of the mine told the tale of the
worst disaster that has taken place in
South Wales since 1894.

Attorney Morgan II. Beach into the

age OF information in the matter OF
preparing the government cotton sta
tistics will be far more exhaustive
than that conducted by secret service
operatives, at the request Of Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agri-
culture. Acting Attorney General
Hoyt has completed his examination
OF the papers transmitted to him by
Secretary Wilson, and he thinks there
should be further and detailed legal
inquiry With that end in view, he
has committed the entire matter to
MIR. Beach, who intends to complete
his examination OF the case before he
retires from the position of United
, States attorney, August 81. He has
taken up the subject as prosecuting at

fit of the labors of secret service men

of his own Office. Working on the case

in the prosecution of post office frauds.
Officials Of the department of JUS
tice have no doubt that if officials of
the government have betrayed their
trust for personal gain there will be
found some means to bring them to &C
count. Therefore, it has been deter
mined that the further investigation
shall be an examination by law Of
ficers, assisted by secret service opera
tives. 1t is planned to conduct the
examination secretly, on the grounds
that it will be much more effective.
1t has not been decided whether the
case will be submitted to the grand

warranted but it is not believed this
will be the procedure. The grand jury
has adjourned for the summer, though

ASSASSINS BULLETS.
They Cost the Life of Gen. shouvalen. n.
Prefect of Police of
Moscow.

Moscow, July 12.-Maj. Gen. Count
Shouvaloff, project of police here, and
formerly attached to the ministry of
the interior. was assassinated Tuesday
morning while receiving petitions One
OF the petitioners drew revolver and
fired five times at the prefect, who
fell dead. The assassin was ar
rested
Count Shuvaloff owes his death to
his custom of freely granting audi
ences and receiving petitions from all
classes. One bullet wounded the count
in the pericardium. another pierced his
abdomen, a third struck him in the
arm, and the fourth in the shoulder.
while the fifth bullet of the assassin
struck the leg of an official who was
standing near.
The assassination is considered to be
a purely political crime, as the count
was not yet 40 years old, and was re-
garded as being of the best type of the
Russian official. He came from one
OF the most famous families in Russia.
The count was son of Count Peter
Shouvaloff, the statesman who repre-
sented Russia at the Berlin confer
ence. He was formerly colonel of the
guard regiment known as the st. Pc
tersburg, and was one of the personal
friends of Emperor Nicholas. AS pre-
feet of Odessa, when he succeeded Gen.
Zelenoi, who was extremely severe,
Count Shouvaloff earned the esteem of
all by his firm but lenient course, max
ing himself particularly popular with
the students. The impression exists
here that the count was killed for pre-
serving order.

DYNAMITE Is USED.
Three Whisky "Joints," Run in vio-
lation of Law, Are Blown Up
at lola, Kan.

lola, Kan, July 11.-With tremendous
explosions that shook the country for
miles around, three liquor "joints" that
had been run openly in violation of the
Kansas prohibition law were blown up
Monday in this town. The immense
charges of dynamite used to destroy the
whisky dens damaged several other
places of business, causing altogether
loss of 100000. ]. E. Thorpe, owner of
one of the wrecked "joints," was injured
in the explosions.
The mayor has offered reward for
the person who set off the dynamite. He
has also called a meeting of the city
council to discuss the situation. The
''joint" keepers blame the temperance
reformers for the wrecking of their
places of business, but have no tangible
evidence yet on which to base their as
sertions. The explosions were heard at
Humboldt, nine miles away.
Not since the days of Carrie Nations
smashing expeditions have the people
of Kansas been so wrought up over the
violations of the prohibition law as at
present. The three "joints" that were
blown up in lola had been running for a
long time and Gov. Hoch had been petit
toned to close them.

COTTON SCANDAL EXPOSED
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Makes Public Report of Irregular
Practice of Statistician.

Washington, JNly l0.-As the result
of the investigation by secret service
agents into the charges made by Rich
the Cotton Planters association, that
information had been given to cot
ton brokers in New York by some
person or persons in the bureau Of sta
tistics of the department of agri-
culture, Secretary Wilson Saturday
made public an official report in which
he states that Edwin S. Holmes. the
associate statistician has been guilty
of Juggling" the official report. The
report says it has been found that
Mr.. Holmes communicated advance
information to l.. G. VanRiper, New
York broker, and NJ. Haas, of New
York, who acted as go-between in
conveying information from Holmes
to other New York brokers, including
Theodore Price. Steps have been taken
by Secretary Wilson to prevent any
further leakage Of the department fig
ures, and an entire reorganization Of
the bureau of statistics and manner of
preparing monthly crop reports has
been outlined by him. The papers in
connection with the investigation were
referred to the United States attorney
for the District of Columbia, and he
has reported that in his opinion a
criminal prosecution will not lie
against Holmes. Holmes has been dis
missed from the service of the de-
partment.
Washington, July 12.-Secretary Will
son Tuesday turned over to the attorney
general all the papers in connection
with the cotton leak investigation. It
is intimated that this is done with the
expectation that prosecution of the sew
eral persons mentioned in the report of
the secret service officers will follow.

STEAM LAUNCH GOES DOWN
Vessel Sunk in Hudson River in Col
lision and Three Persons
Are Drowned.

New York, July IA. - Three lives
were lost Tuesday night when the
steam launch Normandie was sunk in
collision near Dobbs ferry with ves-
sci supposed to have been a tramp
steamship in the Hudson river.
Those who lost their lives are Capt.
Storm and Engineer Brady, of the
launch Normandie, and Miss Gladys
Dodge, Of this city. J. Green, of New
York, was rescued.
The Normande was owned by C. w.
Dumont, of New York, but had been
chartered by him to John A. Rudd, of
Glenwood.
Mr.. Rudd was also on board the
launch at the time of the collision, and
it was from him that the police of Yon-
kers received the information regarding
the disaster which they have been able
to obtain up to this time. Rudd called
up the police station at Yonllers on the
telephone early Wednesday and gave a
brief account Of the disaster. He said
that he and Joseph Hannigan, of Yon-
kers, boarded the Normandie at Glen
wood Tuesday with Capt. Storm and
Engineer Brady. They came over to
New York, where they took aboard j.
Green, of New York, and the young
woman and started for Peeksl1ill. The
launch was on its way back to New
York when it was run down. He said
there was an explosion Immediately
after the steamship struck the launch
and that it is possible that those who
lost their lives were injured so severely
that they were unable 20 help them.

MUTINEERs GIVE UP SHIP.
Crew of Kniaz Potemkin Surrenders
and Vessel Is Delivered to Rou-
manian officials.

Kustenji, Roumania, July 10-The
flag of St. Andrew once again floats
over the Russian battleship Kniaz
Potemkin and the torpedo boat which
have proved such terrors to the Black
sea communities for couple of weeks
past. The formal surrender of the
mutinous crews actually took place at
one o'clock Saturday afternoon after
a series Of discussions and negotia-
tions between the Roumanian authori.
ties and the leaders of the mutineers.
Roumanian officers who boarded the
battleship on her arrival here called
upon the crew to surrender, in which
case they would be treated as foreign
deserters, or else leave the port forth
with. It speedily became apparent
that the Russian vessels returned to
this port with the intention of sur.
rendering to a foreign government,
and the crews soon announced their
acceptance of the Roumanian terms.
The mutineers desired to take of
Potemkin, but the Roumanian authori.
ties declined to acquiesce. The Rus.
SLAMS will gradually be conveyed to
any frontier they may select and will
then be liberated. the local officials
having given an undertaking to this
effect. The Roumaniani flag, as we'll
as the Russian, has been hoisted over
the surrendered vessels, so as to pre-.
vent any attack on them in Rou.
manian waters by the vessels of the
Russian squadron, which are reported
to be in pursuit of the mutineers.

TO MEET AT PORTSMOUTH

Farley.

Washington, July II. Assistant Sec
retary Peirce Monday announced that
the plenipotentiaries of Russia and
Japan had agreed upon Portsmouth,
N. H., as the meeting place for the ses-
slons OF the peace conference to be held
outside of Washington. The sessions
will be held in the government navy
yard at Portsmouth in the new building
just completed there
Third Assistant Secretary of State
Pelrce has been specially commissioned
by the president to make all arrange
ments for the meeting of the plenipo-
tentlaries at Portsmouth, and is pre-
pairing to leave for that place to confer
with the commandant of the navy yard.
The meeting will be held in the gen.
eral storehouse.
The selection Of Portsmouth was mu-
tually acceptable to the peace envoys of
the belligerents, as, besides being a
cool and comfortable place for this sea-
son of the year, it has the advantage of
Offering building on government soil,
Which is regarded as an important con-
sideration. This government, it is
stated, did not in any wise dictate as to
the selection. While the sessions will
be held in the navy yard the plenipo-
tentiaries and their STATS will live in
nearby hotels.
AS the sessions are to be held within
the navy yard the ENJOYS may have as
much seclusion as they desire, as none
can gain admission to the yard without
permission.

THE EQUITABLE EXPOSE.
Criminal Prosecutions Are Threatened
-Clamor Against SEN
ator Depew.

New York, July 12.-The publication
of the testimony given by the princi-
pal officials of the Equitable Life AS
surance society during the investigation
by Superintendent of Insurance Hen
bricks gave to the public the first SUBJ
atantial facts of the amazing Equitable
corruption.
1t showed graft" and financial irreg-
ularities far greater than had been pub
lished.
1t Involved men of hitherto high re-.
pate in most questionable transactions.
1t furnished evidence for the authori-
ties to begin their criminal and civil
prosecutions.
1t awakened the political leaders of
the state to the necessity for legislative
action.
AS result of the publication three &C.
tons were taken Tuesday:
1. Chairman Odell, leader of the re-
publican party, announced that the
present legislature must enact remedi-
al laws doing away with Wall street
control of great companies in which
the money of the people is deposited.
2. Chauncey M. Depew, United States
senator, will have to resign from the
board of directors of the society. He
will be given an opportunity to send
over his resignation from Europe where
he is now making his annual rounds. IT
tbs not forthcoming in reasonable time
ne will be forced out by the trustees. 1t
is said that Grover Cleveland will not
stand longer for Mr. Depew's connec-
tion with the society.
3. Paul Morton, chairman of the board
OF directors and executive head of the
Equitable, had his attention called to
that part of Jacob H. Schiff's testimony
wherein assertion was made that the
society's books had been falsified in
connection with the purchase of certain
Union Pacific stock. Il have no COM
ment to make on that now," said Mr..
Morton, significantly. II am investi-
eating the matter in my own way, and it
may take some little time"

demand is being made by Yale men that

voiced in the New Haven Register Tues
day night.
