SHOOK SEELEY 'S HAND MR. CRAXC WAS GLAD TO SHE HIS DEFAULTING BOOKKEEPER. President of the New York Shoe and Leather Rank Talks with the Absconder, bat Gets No Information. CHICAGO, Dec. 12. At 5 o'clock this evening President Crane, of the Shoe and Leather National Bank, of New York, walked Into United States Marshal Arnold's office. Half an hour later he was sitting In Inspector Shea's office, when the door opened and his'defaultlng bookkeeper, Samuel C. Seeley, stepped Into the room. Mr. Seeley reached out and took the extended hand of President Crane. As the president shook Peeley's hand with the warmth of an old friend. It was readily seen that Seeley was much affected. His body trembled with emotion, his lips quivered and, in a low, stammering tone of voice, he said: ''ilr. Crane, -I id-TKtnh!rt1cyotr woUTJv want to shake hands with me." Mr. Crane, pushing Seeley Into the chair beside fcim, replied In kindly tones: "Why. Sam, I am glad to see you. Sit down." The door closed on the two men. For half an hour they, were closeted together. Inspector Shea, at the request of Mr. Crane, Invited the newspaper reporters In waiting to enter the room. To them. President Crane said: "Gentlemen, from the Importance of the affair, you naturally 'expect some startling developments from the conversation I have had with Mr. Seeley. I have called you In that I might speak in his presence. He absolutely refuses to talk about his case. He says he is entirely in the hands of his counsel. Frank W. Angell, who has requested that he talk to no one about the matter. He has told me that there Is no one to whom he would rather tell all than to me, but that he would obey the Injunction of his counsel. He stubbornly, if you pleas3, but firmly refuses to talk." Turning to Seeley, Mr. Crane said: "la that not so, Sam?" Tes, sir; I refuse to talk about the matter." At the suggestion of a reporter. President Crane asked the following questions of Seeley: . "Was there any one else connected with this defalcation besides Baker?" "That is the man." replied Seeley. "Were there no others?" "No one else." As to the question of authority In the return of Seeley to New York, Mr. Crane said that it was probable that Seele would be turned over to the federal authorities. Seeley said: "I prefer to go back with the government officials." There will be no clash of the authorities," said Inspector Shea. "I have received the following telegram from Inspector McLaughlin, at New York, touching the matter, this afternoon: " 'It is the wish of District Attorney Fellows to avoid conlllct of authority; that Seeley be remanded In the custody of the United States marshal when he arrives. Detective Nu-. gent will reach you to-day. Impart this Information to him.' " Detective Nugent, who was present, said he was not disposed to make any objection and Marshal Arnold requested him to accompany the deputy, who will return with Seeley to-morrow afternoon. The prisoner will be taken before Commissioner Wirt to-morrow morning. He will waive examination, and an order of court will be secured for the transfer to New York. After the arrangements for the return had been perfected President Crane said: "I believe that Mr. Seeley Is glad that this thing is all over. A great load has been lifted from his mind. He has been a wanderer for the past few weeks, and 1 know that he feels better now." Seeley smiled in assent and was taken back to his cell in Harrison-street station. Mr. Crane said to-night that under the terms of th reward offered for the arrest of Seeley it will be paid only after the conviction of the prisoner. This, will be sad news for McFarland, who has made several calls on the police department to see when he was going to get that $3,000. He wants It all at once, and he wants it now. Seeley was shown New York dispatches this afternoon reporting his wife prostrated and seriously 111. He was visibly agitated, and eagerly inquired for late news from her. "I can't send any encouraging word to her," he said, "burl hope some one will tell her I am well. There Is nothing for me to say to her, for now that I am down the whole world Is against me." "Did you profit much by the alleged defalcation?" asked a reporter. "I can't answer that question now," Seeley answered: "but I don't look very prosprous, do I? Do you think I look as though I have very many thousands of dollars?" The prisoner's agitation over his wife's Illness has made him more talkative, and he spoke bitterly of McFarland, the man who aided in his arrest. "I don't want to say mucri about McFarland," he said, "but I considehls giving me away a low trick. I hope that $5,000 reward for my capture will go to the police instead of to him. No. I have no Idea as to how the' bank ptole will treat me. wnetaer tney win be ard on me or not I den t care very much, as this thing has taken the interest out of life, for me."

Price, a prominent business man and a member of L'e firm of Chandler & Price, residing at No. 124 Hawthorne avenue, was murdered by burglars at 2:30 o'clock this morning.

Reed Addresses the American Federation Convention Again A. P. A. Given No Show. DENVER. Dec. 12. The second day's ses sion of the annual convention of the Amer ican Federation of Labor was called to arder at 9 o'clock with a full attendance of delegates. President Gompers announced i number of committees and then the executive council . reported the several boy ,otts by local unions Indorsed by the body. It was announced that John Bums and David Holmes, of England, had arranged to hold meetings as follows: Omaha, Deo. 16; Chicago. 18 to 20; St. Louis, 22; Indianapolis, 23; Detroit, 25; Cleveland, 26; Pitts burg, 27; Washington, 28 and 29; Phila delphia, Dec, 30, and Boston, Jan. 2. Messrs. Hy6ell. Patrick McBrlde, of the mineworkers, and others made a plea to have Mr. Hurns's programme changed so as to give the miners of the Hocking valley a chance to hear him, and urged that Nelsonville, O.,- be substituted for Cleveland. The matter was finally referred back t the executive council with the request to hear the arguments of delegates In fa vor of various localities. Rev. Myron W. Reed, of Denver, ad dressed the convention on the subject of "Paupers and Millionaires." He said: "This Is a well-dressed body of men, but I will guarantee if you will go out and ask for work and food and sleep In your clothes you will look like tramps." Referring to the general methods of dispensing charity, he .said It was much cf it conscience money from rich robbers to poor victims. He was preaching the gospel of vigorous dis content. Governor Waite, more criticised than any man in the United States, did what no other Governor ever did he called out the troops to protect the poor." The speaker was Harmly applauried throughout his address. Prestdent Gotipers responded to Air. r.evd's remarks in a complimentary manner. By unanimous cons?nt, a resolution presented by Vice President McGulre was adopted reaffirming the former position of the federation that no action should be tak?n regarding religious creed or any similar subject, as follows: "Resolved, That we deplore the introduction of any sectarian of captious side Issues' among the working people. Such movements are destined to divide labor's forces and - produce bitter antagonism, as they produce religious bigotry, provoke, rancorous Intolerance and divert the working people from working out their own emancipation from the galPng slavery of the present social and political conditions. "Resolved, That we here and now reaffirm as one of the cardinal principles of the trades union labor movement that the working people must unite and organize, irrespective of creed, color, sex or nationality." A motion to make conslderatkm of the political programme a special order ' for Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, was amended by substituting Friday morning. It was decided to invite Governor Walte to address the convention. President Gompers expressed himself in hearty sympathy with Governor Walte. The committee on credentials reported on the painters' and decorators' union contest, recommending that "both factions be seated and the vote be divided between them, and that the Incoming executive council take the matter up and endeavor .to effect a reconciliation. The report was adopted. Delegate Lloyd, of the Central Bakers' Council, of Boston, Introduced a resolution in favor of free coinage. It was referred 10 the resolutions committee. At 20 the convention adjourned to allow tje committees tt meet and prepare for to-morrow's work. It is noH believed that Gompers will be re-elected president, and little if any opposition will be encountered. There are no avowed eanditfat for the place, though several are said to have -aspirations.

Quarterly Sleetlnjr : of Directors Engene Debs to Gompers. , CHICAGO, Dec. LT-The- board of directors of the American Railway Union began Its regular quarterly meeting this forenoon. All of the directors were pres ent except R. M. Goodwin. The day was spent In going over the? finances of the organization and in reviewlnj the reports of the directors. The reports showed that a number of local unions .were in a demoralized condition, owing to the 6trlke of last summer, but the officers say that they are more than satisfied with those found to be Intact. Seven new unions were reported as organized within the last thirty days. The difficulty tetweTv iTesiaent ier and President Gompers J appears to be increasing. Debs to-day rave out the following statement: "Gompers's statement that I asked him to aid in the strike is a mis take. Gompers was ticked to attend a conference of all of the labor leaders In the country, to be held in Chicago, to dis cuss the strike, but refriped to come. Later his own organization in. Chicago met and ordered him to come to Chicago. He came because he was so ordered, and not of his own volition. At no stage of the trouble did I ask him to strike. When the con ference was held here J stated the situation, but made no request, for assistance, and If Gompers says otherwise, I can disprove It." In reply to a question, ijeDS sam: "ine present session of the A. R. U. directors wilL last until satuniaj- nignt, unless it should be terminated b Judge Woods. The court will deckle th contempt cases Friday, and It may happ n that there will be no directors iert to go on with the meeting." NKW VOIiK I'OLll'iS INQUIRY. Sir. Goff Says K-CnmrnIIoner Grant Got nicli Off Ilrlbes. ' NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-John W. Goff opened up the session of the Lexow com mittee to-day by calling for Charles A. Grant, who for a long time was ex-Pollce Commissioner McClave's secretary. "Of course, i know," said Mr. Goff, "that he will not appear, because he is in Asbury Park, beyond the reach of the com mittee, but I would like to take this op portunity of stating that 'While in hi3 office he became possessed of $70,000 worth of real estate, and now we are prepared to prove that he accepted Innumerable bribes, which accounts for his wealth." Police Commissioner Martin at this point was told that he was excused for the day, and went away smiling. Ettlene Boyer, an ex-detective, and wardman under Captain Murphy, and ho had been retired after being disabled while on duty, was called. "I believe you brought suit against Capt. Murphy sfter yon left th ftci for did -you rot? - , "Yes." "Did you ever say you would rvin Capt. Murphy if he did not pay this money?" "I might have said so." "How Is it that you, a poor wardman, had $250 in cash to loan a captain? Had you made your collection from disorderly houses that day?" "No, but I play poker and the races sometimes." The witness then went on to tell how he frequently played poker at a club at .Toney Island. Witness never accepted presents from disorderly houses. Mr. Moss then took up for n second t.'mo the subject of police pensions. Ex-Capt. John Gunner said he was retired on $1,300 a year, to make room for Straus, who wanted the appointment. Ex-Inspector Steers, ex-Captain Yules and ex-Captain .Tracy all te3ti:ied that they had been "fired" on pensions tc make room for other men. Mr. Goff cited the case of ex-Sergeant Mulvey, who was retired on M.0U0 a year, and is now earning $2,0,K) on the Brooklyn force. He said the matter of pensions required legislation. Capt. Alexander Wishart, the superintendent of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, was called. He Is one of the Parkhurst agents who -was attacked by a mob near the Essex Market Police Court. He told the story of the assault, end said that the judge In the Essex Market court refused to sustain the charge, nrd the case of three of the assailants was dismissed. The Rev. Dr. John It. Wilson, pastor of the Eighteenth-street Methodist Fp'scopal Church, was the last witness to-day. lie read a long statement of his efforts to close the policy shops and disordrl" houses in his precinct, but claimed the police gave him little support. Senator O'Connor asked ' the witness whether he thought it wise to colonize the disreputable women of the city. He replied: "No, I do not think so. The minute that you do so, you take a step toward the abolition of marriage." He also expressed the ODlnlon that the social evd could be finally abolished by the proper enforcement of the laws. Ex-Police Captain John T. Stephenson was declared guilty of bribery to-night by the Jury who heard his case in the court of Oyer and Terminer. He was remanded back to the tombs for sentence on Friday. This is the first of the' police, bribery cases to be tried. A FA YOKED SWINDLER.

Dec. 12.-The victims of the bogus Pennsylvania Land and Lumber Company will be surprised to learn that Mrs. Matilda Gerst, who deposited In several of the large cities some of the large sums of money they were swindled out of, was again in Cleveland to-day.

Mrs. Gerst reached Cleveland this morning and was driven in a closed carriage directly to the safety-deposit vaults. She persented herself alone at the window of the clerk who has charge of the vaults, and he recognized her, at once. She was immediately surrounded by the surprised bank otlicials and, after chatting gaily with them a few minutes, she proceeded to business by formally announcing who she was and asking to ne allowed to Identify the money she had left with them. The compartment she had rented was opened and she readily Identified its contents, saying it was part of the money illegally obtained by the land and lumber company and placeu there by her.

TWO ADVERSE VOTES

SENATORS AGAINST FURTHER TARIFF TINKERING AND CLOSURE. Tliey Refuse to Consider the Bill to Strike Out the Differential and Make . All Sugars Dutiable at 40 I'er Cent. VEST'S MOTION ALSO BEATEN MAJORITY OF TEN AGAINST. TAKING VP THE CLOSURE RESOLUTION. How the Indiana Senators Voted Evidence that Yoorhecs Has Flopped to the 'Conservatives' Again. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12,-The votes of the Indiana Senators to-day ought to be eminently satisfactory to their friends. Both Messrs. Voorhees and Turple voted for the bill striking out the differential on refined sugar and for cloture. There may, however, be those who suspect the entire sincerity of their motives. It is a fact that Senator Gorman and those of his associates who have heretofore been held up to public scorn under the name of "conservatives" knew yesterday that the attempt to call up the sugar bill would be made to-day. They were In frequent conferences with colleagues on both sides of the chamber, and one of them said to the Journal correspondent this morning that Vest and Gray would be permitted to have their way and try to call up the sugar bill, but that It was certain of defeat. It will be seen that all the "conservative" Senators were so certain of the defeat of the sugar bill that every ona of them was actually paired in favor of the bill. Mr. Gorman was paired with Mr. Frye; Mr. Brlce with Mr. Wolcott, Mr. Smith with Mr. Dixon. Mr. Murphy with Mr. Chandler, Mr. Camden with Mr. Pettlgrew and Mr. Gibson with Mr. Pattln.' So secure, Indeed, were they of their game that not one of .thenfremained in the Senate during the vote. Mr. Voorhees's name Is one of the last on the roll.' Hence, when he answered "aye" to his name with loud vigor he knew that It was perfectly safe and that the bill was defeated. It was openly stated by one of the conservative fck-nators early In the morning that "Voorhees Is with us again, though of course we don't know for how long." Similarly the motion to take up the cloture resolution was safely defeated before Mr. Voorhees was called to vote for it. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Tne Votes on the Sugar 11111 and Cloture Resolution. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Senator Gray made an unsuccessful attempt to have considered in the Senate to-day the bill reported from the finance committee striking out all the differential duty in favor of refined sugar and leaving all sugar dutiable at 40 per centad valorem. There wer? a great many absentees, so. that 'the defeat was not so decisive as to discourage further, efforts of the same kind' The majority vote of ten against taking up tha closure resolution, which followed, indicates, U is believed, the improbability of changing the rules at this session. Mr. Morgan again addressed the Senate on the Nlcaraguan bill, and in concluding expressed his Intention of soon asking that unanimous consent be given fixing a time for a vote on the bill. Sxm after the opening of the Senate Mr. Piatt made a brief address on the bill introduced by Mr. Berry to establish the Territory of Indiajla from the lands now occupied by the five civilized tribes. He said that something must be done to change the governmental conditions in the Indian Territory. The Indians themselves request that the Indian government should be abolished. He did not overstate the matter when he said that legislation was openly and unblushingly bought in the Indian legislatures, nor did he overstate it when he said that the administration of justice was bought and sold for the benefit of the "white Indian." At . the conclusion of Mr. Piatt's speech the bill was referred to the committee on Indian affair. Mr. Pugh presented the credentials of Senator John T.' Morgan, elected by the Alabama Legislature for a term of six years from March 4, 1895. The resolution of Mr. Hlggins calling for the correspondence relating to offers of mediation by this government between China and Japan was then passed. On motion of Mr. Call the Senate took up the resolution heretofore offered by him, authorizing the appointment of a committee to inquire and report whether the Louisiana or Honduras lottery company has been established and is now operating In Florida. After a statement by Mr. Call the resolution was referred to the committee on contingent expenses. The Senate then proceeded to consideration of pension bills on the . calendar. Among those passed were bills granting pensions of $100 per month to Mary Palmer Banks, widow of Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, Mrs. Katharine Told Crittenden and to MaJ. Gen. A. McClernard. A Senate bill was passed to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Red River of the North at Drayton, N. D. THE SUGAR BILL. There was a general air of eztper.ancy about the Senate when the hotx of 2 o'clock arrived, on account of the prfcvailIng Impression that there would be s.V effort to displace the unfinished business, which was the Nlcaraguan canal bill, with the bill changing the duty on-sugar to 40 per cent, ad valorem flat. This expectation was realized when Mr. Gray took the floor and stated that he had no desire to delay consideration .of the canal bill, but he considered the tariff bills of greater importance, and he thought the Senate 5hould have an opportunity to say whether these bills should be considered. He had hoped that a vote would be reached on these bills without obstruction. It was the duty of the Senate to meet the challenge implied in the bills. He did not think the discussion of the bills would occasion any great delay. He therefore moved to displace the Nlcaraguan canal bill with the sugar bill. Senator Morgan stated that while he favored the sugar bill he should be compelled to vote against its consideration at jhe present time, owing to the fact that he had been placed In charge of the Nlcaraguan canal bill. , - The bill, as it came from the House, and as It was amended by the Senate finance committee, was then read, after which Senator Berry demanded the yeas and nays on the question of consideration. Senator Harris, In an effort to enlighten the Senate, stated that the pending question would be on the committee amendment. In case the vote on consideration should result in the affirmative. Senator Aldrlch objected to debates, saying "the pending question may be something else. There was much shifting of pairs while the vote was proceeding, and no little delay in the announcement of the result.. When tne announcement did come It showed the defeat of Mr. Gray's motion by a vote of 23 to 27, the vote in detail belnr as follows: Yeas Bate, Berry.

take up his resolution for an amendment . of the Senate rules, with a modification Instructing the committee on rules to report by the 15th inst. He asked for the yeas and nfcys on the motion. Mr. v est asked leave to say a word, but Mr. Aldrich objected. Mr. Vest found opportunity to say, ".owever, that if the motion should be agreed to he would be willing that his resolution should be temporarily laid aside to permit consideration of the canal bill. He asked if that could not be done by unanimous consent, whereupon Mr. Faulkner, who was in the Chair, replied that the Senate could do almost anything by unanimous consent. CLOSURE DEFEATED.

OPPOSED II Y GAGE. Carlisle Scheme Not Approved by tho Chicago Financier. WASHINGTON, Dec 12. A letter was read from Lyman J. Gage, the prominent banker and financier of Chicago, at ths opening of the hearing of the House committee on banking and currency to-day. Referring to the recommendations of th President and Secretary Carlisle Mr. Gagt says: "Agreeing with the criticisms nud by these officers of the government as to the present weakness of our situation and the great desirability of separating the government from the direct responsibilities of currency issues I am persuaded that ths country is not ready to ecccpt their recommendations as ''to the methods proposed. In making any change the! method should be so Pimple that all can comprehend It, and it should be seen that the incidental effects would not be in any direction disturbing the trade, commerce or industry. I believe the 'Baltimore plan carries the . true principles of a credit currency, but we cannot reach It by any one step, and years may intervene before U can be tealized." ' t . Mr. Gage recommends issuing $230,000,000 bonds to retire government notes and tr amend the banking act so that national banks can issua notes in place of the redeemed currency. "The problem is this." he says, "to take the government out of the note-Issuing business. First, without contracting the currency in the process; second, without Inviting expansion. Secretary Carlisle's plan is subject to the danger involved under the last suggestion." A letter was also read from Kiward N. Gibbs. treasurer of the New York Life Insurance Company, approving the national bank system with pome modifications. George C. Butler, of New Haven, Conn., then addressed the commjttee. He presented a currency plan differing somewhat from the Secretary's and the Baltimore plan. Its feature included note issues up to S" per cent, of a bank capital, removal of the Controller of the Currency to Ner York, where he is. to have control of the specie reserve made up of 23 per cent of notes issued. Mr. Butler's plan also proposed a hoard of bank officers la Ner York, presided over by the Controller of the Currency: also, the erection of a suitable building in New York for the currency bureau. Mr. Butler was question-d ai great length by every member of the oooimlttee, and showed exhaustive familiartty with practical banking. He said that ths requirements of Secretary Carlisle that all national banks guarantee the notes of eich bank would nullify the law. Banks would not accept such unknown responsibility. There might not be any real risk, owing to the safeguards provided by Mr. Carlisle, but twards of directors would never vote to accept the risk. Mr. Butler and Mr. Horace White, of Ns York, were further questioned after the recess. Mr. Cornwall, of Buffalo, wti ex pected to address the committee, but as ha failed to put in an appearance the cozamil tee adjourned until to-morrow. Gngc's Plan Not Orlcinal. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec, 12. Ths plan for a national bank currency based on a ntrr 'jssue of 2Vi per cent, bonds, outlined by Lyman J. Gage, of Chicago, Is identical In principle and almost Identical la dettll with one proposed and published In ths Capital here by Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Atchlfon road. Mr. Wilder" plan FUKKested an issue of enough government bonds at 2 per cent.. Instead of 24 per cent., as proposed by Mr. Gage, to take up and cancel outstanding demand notes of the government. , Bnltlmore Plan Indorsed. LfrTLE ROCK. Ark.. Dec. 12.
