 According to Oldham he forged a check for $lOO on the Bay State Trust company of Boston. He says he work ed for Peter J. Berlo, who, eight years ago was a manufacturer. Oldham al- Ieges that Berlo owed him about Sl00. which he says he was unable to get. The thought to forge Berlo's name came to him, when he learned that his employer had an account in the Bay State Trust company. He also said he took other money which he has ham dled. He comes from good family, and has held several responsible posi- tions in his career. He was forty-five years old Sunday.

 The same night there was detern1irl- ed attack by Indians on the little out post. The sentries were driven in and some of them killed. For days the fighting kept up. Meanwhile nothing had been heard of the soldiers who had been sent to hide the gold.
 As soon as the Indians had been dis persed and it was safe to reconnoitre, the bodies of the four dead soldiers who had been sent to hide the gold were found at a considerable distance from the fort. There was no trace of the gold, and none was ever found. Two days later q soldier found bit of pa- per near where one of the bodies had been, giving 8 hastily scrubbed expla- nation that the gold had been buried in a certain bluff, but the description was incomplete and a careful search failed to locate the treasure. No evil dence was ever found that the coin fell into the hands of the Indians, and 1t is believed that 1t is resting yet in the original hiding place, Search is carried on in a desultory way every season. and the gold will probably some day be found.

 The spectacle of the ante-ebection distribution of funds by Tammany hall attracted a crowd of spectators to-day which blocked Fourteenth street in front of the hall. No one outside of the members of the inner councils of the great political organization knows what it costs Tammany to get out the vote, but it was reported that the or ganization distributed more to-day than in some previous elections.
 The actual distribution was conduct ed by Phillip J. Donohue, the treasur- CT of the Tammany society. He sat at big desk in the council chamber of Tammany hall with the sergeant-at- arms on guard at the door. One after another the captains of the assembly districts drove up in carriages to the front of the hall, and were admitted to the executive chamber, where bundles of money in one and five dollar bills were passed over to them. They car ried it away in satchels, and are said to have got from $1,000 to 10000, ac- cording to the needs of the district,
 The street was lined with waiting carriages for. a. block while the cap tains were in the hall. Hundreds of persons watched them enviously when they came out with bulging satchels, and drove away to distribute the sin ews of war" among the workers.

Gold Was Buried in 1880 by Zachary
 TayIor's Soldiers.
 Somewhere in the rugged bluffs of the Mississippi River, near the little town of Wankon, Iowa, eighty. miles north of Dubuque, lies a buried treasure, con slsting Of $SO,0OO in gold. It was con signed to the paymaster of Prairie du Chien in 1880 for the purpose of paying the soldiers who were fighting Black Hawk and his warriors. The legend dates back to a very early period in the history of this country and is full of romance and incidents of the days of the forefathers. .-....
 At the time the treasure was hidden Colonel Zachary Taylor was in com mand of Fort Mckay, then one of the most important government outposts in this section of the country. It was on the extreme buffer" region, between the Indians and the whites, in constant danger of attack by Black Hawk and his fierce warriors. To this outpost one day in 1880 came four bags of gold, each weighing about eighty pounds, the aggregate value of which was about $S0,000, They were consigned to the post payrnaster to pay off the soldiers. It was the largestiaamount that had ever been sent to d post so far out on the frontier in a time of practical hos. tility, and Colonel Taylor was instruct- ed most infinitely as to the care and guarding of the treasure, ...4- ss.
 Just at that time the Black Hawk war was in progress, and very agres- sive were the movements of the red- skins. There was serious possibility that the little garrison might be forced to evacuate the fort and fall back. Ac- cordingly, Colonel Taylor decided that the money should be hidden oustide the stoekade. He called for volunteers for special service and selected four

Wise to be Prepared for the WOrst---
 Witte a Strong Man.
 Copenhagen. Denmark, Nov. 6.-w. T, Stead, who has arrived here from Rus sia, visited the American minister, Thomas J. 0'Brien, to-day and asked whether any American warships were near at hand for the protection of the American residents of St. Petersburg in case the situation grew worse. Mir. O'Brien said that no American ships were nearby. Moreover, he was not alarmed regarding the situation at St, Petersburg.
 MT Stead said to The Associated Press: While hope for the best it will be wise to be prepared for the worst. No one knows what will happen. The American colony would feel comfort able if vessels under the stars and stripes were within call in case the worse comes to the worst" E..
 Mir. Stead said that he feared the eJn- peror's manifesto for liberal reforms in Russia had come too late to secure its early peaceful acceptance by the whole people. He was optimistic, however, on the eventual outcome.
 "The question is," said MT. Stead "can Witte, who undoubtedly is most unpopular man, rally the whole consti- tutional party and induce the whole people to put their trust in promises oi new liberty. If he can, then there is a chance of improving the situation Count Witte is clever man and cer- tainly now has the full support of the emperor. Unfortunately, however, no body has confidence in Witte, who him. self places no confidence in anybody
 The Associated Press learns from high sources in Copenhagen that con- f1dence is expressed in official circles here that the worst is over for Russia The biggest commercial firms express the hope that the situation now will steadily improve.

 party claims the election of Lieutenant Governor Curtis Guild, tr., for governor over Charles w., Bartlett, the demo- cratic nominee, by large plurality, and while predicting also the election of Eben S. Draper, their nominee for lieutenant-goVernor, are willing to ad- init that his plurality will fall behind that given to MT. Guild. The demo- crats go as far as to claim the election of Henry M. Whitney, their nominee for second place, by a large, if not an overwhelming, plurality, and they eX- press confidence in the choice of Gen. eral Bartlett by an emphatic endorse ment.
 The possible uncertainty as to the result is generally based upon the re- suit last year, when in presidential election, and in the face of a pronounc- ed endorsement of President Roosevelt, W. l.. Douglas, democrat, defeated Gov ernor John l.. Bates, republican, by a plurality of almost 36,000. The canvass this year has been conducted along the lines of tariff revision.
 Tariff revision, with a removal en- tirely of duties on certain commodities, is the demand of the democrats. who incidentally have vigorously attacked Senator Henry Cabot Lodge for his po- sition on the tariff question and have pointed out what they term the incon- sistency in the tariff attitudes Of Can- didates Guild and Draper

WILL DEEEAT AMENDMENT.
Outlook in Maryland on the Negro Dis- franchisement Question.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.--The day before the election finds the leaders of both parties expressing confidence as to the result of the Maryland election. The republican chairman, John B. Hanna, said to-day that the proposed amend ment to the constitution, the avowed purpose of which is to disfranchise ne- gro voters, will be overwhelmingly de-. feated, and that the republican candi- date for state comptroller will be elect ed. Democratic Chairman vandiver expressed himself as equally confident of the adoption of the amendment and of the election of the democratic ticket. Conservative opinion in both parties tends to the view that the amendment will be beaten.
 The issue as to the state comptroller and the lower branch of the legislature will continue in doubt until the votes are counted, but as to the state senate, there are so many holdover democratic selldCOTs llIdL llldt pOuy VIII III all probability remain ill control of that party.
 While only one state office is to be filled at to-morrow's election, the local ticket is very long and it will be diff cult for illiterate and ignorant persons to vote correctly, in consequence of which it is expected that large num- Der of ballots will be thrown out on &C., count of the defective marking.

CADET IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Injuries Received in Fight With
 Another Midshipman.

Another Midshipman.
 Annapolis, Md, Nov. 6.-Midshipman James R. Branch, son of James R. Branch, of the Hanover National bank, of New York city, and secretary of the American Bankers association, is in a dangerous condition from injuries be- lieved to have been received in a fist fight with another midshipman, the en- counter having been arranged. The young man suffered an injury to the right side of the head, which affected the brain and had the effect of paralyz- ing the left side of his body.
 The greatest anxiety was felt over his condition by the medical officers, and an operation was performed to- night by Drs. J. M. T. Finney, of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, and Dr. Kerry, of Washington, assisted by the naval academy medical staff. It was successful, the skull being opened and blood clot removed, and there is hope of the young mans recovery.
 In unofficial circles it is admitted that Midshipman Branch's injury was re- eeiYed in a fight, but it is said that it

GIFTS TO COLUMBIA.
Nearly Two Million Received Last Year
 in Money.

New York, Nov. 6.-Columbia univer- sity last year received money gifts amounting to S196O,0O0, and had an en- rollnrent of 4,981 students, according to the annual report to-day of President Nicholas Murray Butler Of the total enrolment 1878 were graduates of ot1n- CT colleges, either in America or in ESu- rope.
 President Butler said of Columbia's s new study programme whereby a stu dent may graduate after three years study or may take more than four years to cover the same ground: 'It breaks up the lockstep, or system of uniform annual promotions from class to class"
 Under this system the requirements for graduation is the completion of a prescribed number of hours of work
 It may even be possible, President Butler says, for an unusually advanced student to graduate in less than three years. In this same connection he says: Tt is useless 10 say that American students between 19 and 23 years of age cannot with advantage pursue profess sional and other university subjects of study when these are precisely the years in which the students of France and Germany are pursuing those stud ies to the greatest advantage" President Buffers report states that recently & practice of hazing the in- coming classes has grown up at Colum- bia,

TIP FOR rHRATER MANAGERS.

A clever Washington woman, With
 A satirical vein strongly developed, has
 worked out scheme, according to the Star. which may or may not be the
 biggest kind of a tip for up-to-date
 theatrical managers. The woman in.
 question is married to man who is an inveterate smoker. He carries his slavery to the weed to such an extent that his wife asserts that it is almost
 impossible to get him out nights to the theater with her, and as she is parti- |cularly fond of a good performance, and rather objects to matinees, she finally got her wits to work on a scheme whereby hubby" can get his evening smoke and yet act as escort Ithe theater.
 First she suggested cigarettes be- tween the acts. Here she at once struck snag, for like most cigar and pipe smokers, her husband has a strong antipathy to the coffin nails" ;" Once more her mind got to work on 1 the problem and finally evolved a scheme for checking cigar butts, or "snipes," to be provided in the lobby I of the theater, at which man could be employed to run the "s1ipe" check ling plant at small weekly salary
 The woman with the inventive mind thinks the scheme would work out
 somewhat as follows: 4 My husband, for example, could go l put after the first act, light his cigar
 smoke on the cigar, as long as he had time to puff at 1t, and then pass 1t to
 the man or boy in charge of the snipe- E,checking room room. The person in lcharge would deposit the still buring
 snipe or but of the cigar on little ,tray, placed in a numbered eompart- Iment. and give my husband a. small
 brass check bearing a number corres- bonding to that of the compartment in Ifwhich the snipe, or butt, had been de- Iposited. Then at the end of the, se- lcond act my husband could rush lbreathless1y out of the theater, hand over his check, seize his snipe, or butt, and light it up again, and pull at it with all his might until he heard the warning bell in the corridor announce 1 ing the, cuhtain, when he could de- posit it in the snipe rack again, and so on, until the cigar was wholly con- sumed." ? If the play should be of the three act quality, and tri1e of the snipe
 be left at the conclusion, it would sur-
 flee as a Dit of consolation during the walk to the cars, for instance, and | thus the tobacco f1end could pass the evening proitably, until home was

CLOSE OF CHICAGO CAMPAIGN
Organization Work In Getting Out the Votes May Determine the Result.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-While it is gener-
 ally expected that the vote will be
 light, the managers of both the repllb- lican and democratic organizations are confident of victory at the polls to-
 morrow. Republican claims are the
 more sweeping, however, and are based
 upon allegations of more thorough organization. Managers have found It almost impossible to create enthusiasm for their tickets among the rank and file of voters, and it 4aas become appar- ent that the results of the election may be determined largely by organization work in getting out the votes.
 Although there are five judges of the
 superior court and one judge of the
 circuit court to be chosen, the chief in
 terest centers about the election of a
 president and nine members of the san itary board. A new law governing the election of sanitary trustees has caused the political parties to place in nom- ination full sets of candidates for the
 first time in the history of the sanitary district.
