for publication, and others of the ChlMs tt Peterson books vrere almost equally sucteisfui. In lvW Mr. Tettrson retired from the firm ind Mr. Chllds entereJ Into partnership with J. I. Upplncott & Co., a business connection which continued about a year. Jdr. Chllds then commencel business for nlmself. He continued successful, and In ISC3 he purchase! the Publishers Circular, an advertising sheet then published In New York. He remodeled and edited this papr and Issued the first number undr the title of tho America Publishers Circular and Literary Gazette on May. 1. 1.SC3. The Circular was a preat success from the start, and continued under the charge of Mr. Chllds until IStt. when his lncreasinK earea of the publication of the Public Iedser forced him to part with It. The American. Almanac, which had died from want of support, was likewise taken hold of by Mr. Child, and. under the title of the National Almanac, reached. In 1G3 and 1SC4. a sale of 30.i.m copies, equal to the total sale of any ten years of Its predecessor. HIS GREAT AMBITION. Dr. R. Fhelton MacKenzle used to relate that In 1ST.5 Mr. Chllds saH to him: 'I wllL yet be the owner of the Public Ledger." Mr. Childs's ambition. If the statement be true, was very nigh, for In IC3 the Ledger was one of the most prosperous and powerful newspaers In the United States, and he was but a strugEltn book-seller, occupying a single room l the Ledger building. Hut time worked many changes, and in 1SGI Mr. Chllds had an opportunity to make good his boast. The Ledger was founded in 1W by three Journeymen printers Messrs. Swain. Abell and Simmons and had prospered greatly. The Ledger had been founded as a penny laper, and had gained a very large circulation, but when the price of white paper Increased so enormously as it did during the civil war. the great circulation was actually a source of loss, since the white paper on which the sheet was printed was worth more than the printed sheet sold Tor. Lnder these circumstances the Ledger, in spite of its popularity, was falling steadily behind, and was published at a loss of about J150.CMJ a year. It required great courage to purchase a newspaper under uch circumstances, but Mr. Child.! delermlnetl to take the risks, and purchased the Loiter for a. sum slig-htly in excess of Ul.mount of IL' annual loss. The Ledger was purchased." Mr. Chllds relates, "on the 3d day of December. 1HU. ee,k later I announced two simple but radical changes. I doubled the price of me paiX-r and advanced the advertising fates to a profitable llgure. Of course there was an Instant and not in-onsiderabb railing Off of patronage. Although at first lost rome subscribers an1 advertisers they were soon won back again. I worked carcl to make the paper a success; for several years I seldom left the editorial rooms before midnight, averaging twelve to fourteen hours a day at the offica I strove to elevate its tone and think I succeeded. If asked what I meant by this perhaps I had better quote the friendly words of the late Rev. Dr. Prime: 'Mr. Chllds excluded from his paper all details of disgusting crime; all r-ports of such vice as may not be with propriety read aloud in the family; that poison the minds of young ,men; inflame th passions and corrupt "J5 heart; all scandal and slans. and that whole class of news which constitute the stap of many dally papers.' The same rule was applied to the advertising columns, and from them were excluded all that in any shape or form might be offensive to good morals." On the 2)th day of June, 1SC7, the present Ledger building, then cne of the architectural features of the city, was completed and formally opened. The event was marked by a gathering of newspaper men from all parts of the country. At the banquet which followed. Mr. Chlld3 proposed the health of his friend and associate, Anthony J. Drexel. the head of the great banking hou3e bearing his name. This was A formal acknowledgment of a life-long friendship which had grown up between the great banker and financier and the Young publisher from the early days of Mr. Childs's career, and which grew stronger with the lapse of time until it was terminated by the former's death, in July, 13U3. MR. CHILDS'S FRIENDS. As a publisher and bookseller Mr. Chllds became intimately acquainted with many distinguished men in the world of letters. In his 'Reminiscences" he ecords incidents of his friendship wih Hawthorne, "Washington Irving, W. D. Ticknor. James T. Fields, ex-Iresident Pierce, Longfellow, Lowell, Oliver "Wendell Holmes, John Lothrop Motley, W. II. Prescott, George Bancroft, G. P. R. James. T. Buchanan Read, Pa.ul Du Chaillu. Thomas Hughes, Joaquin , Miller, . . W 11 ki' Collins, Charles Dickens, Edward Everett Hale, Thomas H. Iienton, General Scott and hundreds of other authors. Later his prominence in the social world of Philadelphia and his unbounded hospitality brought together under his roof many other eminent men, and enabled him to form a lasting friendship with very many of the great ones of the world. The reception which he gave to the Emperor and the Empress of Brazil was attended by over six hundred of the most notable personages in the United States. The Duke of Buckingham, whom he entertained while In this country, and by whom he va3 In turn entertained when he visited England, became his intimate friend. But of all Mr. Chllds' s friends there was no one who ranked higher in his estimation than did General Grant. He first met General Grant in 1863. Just after the fall of Vlcksburg. and from that time until the soldier I 'resident's death they were close and intimate friends. In September, lSt, Mr. Chllds determined to take a vacation the first long rest which he had allowed himself In his long and busy life. He spent several months in England and on the continent, and was everywhere received with the greatest honor. In England he was the guesi of Charles Dickens. John Walters, of the London Times, and the Duke of Buckingham. II Is reception on the continent was rot less flattering. At Rome, where he sp?nt Christmas day, he found Ixmgfellow and T. lJuchanan Read. His three months' holiday he always described as one of the pkasantst periods of hLs life. Just before he deoartcl for Europe he presented to the Typographical Society of Philadelphia a printers' cemeterv. covering an area of about two thousand superficial feet, and located In AVoodlawn Cemetery. It Is surrounded by a inautiful and substantial marble wall, Lnd is entered by an imposing gateway of white marble. It is difficult to speak of Mr. Childs's relations with his employes. Just as It is hard for a son to speak what he feels and believes to lx the truth about his father, so every ono of the great "Ledger family" feels it impossible to convey to those outside of that circle any conception of the man who was to them a father in right thtnklng and right doing, a brother in helpfulness and kindness and a true friend in every season of trouble or distress. Then is not one of the small regiment of Mr. Childs's employes who has not. at one time or another, experienced and realized his world-wide charity and his helpful and kindly tact. A GIFT TO PRINTERS. . At the meting of the International Typographical Union, held In Pittsburg, In 1SSS. a gift was made to the Union of $10,000, of which half was from Mr. Chllds, the other from A. J. Drexel. The gift was made without conditions, and It was resolved to use the sum as the nucleus of a fund to erect a permanent building which should be a memorial of the donors. The exact character of the building was undetermined for som? time, but finally It was determined to erect a home for aged and invalid printers. To increase the foundation fund of the Institution It was rerohed that the printers east of the Mississippi should set "a thousand ems" for the fund on each of Mr. Childs's recurring birthdays. May 12, and that those west of the Mississippi Fhould similarly celebrate Mr. Drexel's birthday. Sept. 13. The fund rapidly grew, ami in 1831 the foundations of the home were laid in Colorado Snrings, one of the most beautiful and healthful sections of the country'. The home was formally 0rv-ned May 12. 1S92. It is almost as impossible to enumerate all the public bent factions of Mr. Chllds ns It Is to record his private deeds of charity. Thev were so numerous and of such vailed character that all record of manyIs lost. Among them, however, a few deserve particular mention, and chief among them is the fountain erected to the memory of Shakpf re in his native town of 6tratford-on-Avon. Amor? Mr. Childs's other great public benefaction may be mentioned the memorial window to Milton in St. Margaret's chnrh Westminster; the window to Herbert and Cowper, in Westminster Abbey; the monuments and memorial tablets he has caused to be erected to Lelh Hunt, Edgar Allen Poe and the astronomer. Richard Proctor. Among the latest of his gifts of this character wr.s the erection of the rrMt "Prayer-book Cross." near San Francisco, to mark the spot where Sir Francis Drake landed and where the religious services In the English language were first held on tho western shores of America. The Drexel Institute of Philadelphia, of which he was first vice president, and. Flnce th death, of the founder, president of the board of managers, has received his conBtant help and encouragement. To it he has donated priicless treasures of art and literature. anJk has given to it hU Lest energies that t might achieve its great SUCCeS. In) only public office that Mr. Chllds could ever be induced to hold was the honorary one of president of the board of visitors to the military academy at West Point, which was conferred upon him by PrwMnt Cleveland He had presented to the military aeademv a handsome i-ortrait kt General Grant, and. meeting at West

Point Generals Sherman and Sheridan, he urged them to allow their portraits to be painted at his exiense and placed on either Fide of the great commander. This was accordingly done, anl. on the 3d day of October, 1S.VJ. the portraits of the three great generals of the war were unveiled la what will hereafler be known as Grant Hall. Mr. Chllds was a contributor to almcst ev ry charitable pociety in this city, and Ms private benefactions were countless. There is no record of these gifts, save In the grateful hearts of those who knew him ns the truest of friends the friend In need. There was no or. of his employes, from the highest to the lowest, v,hj vaa not a recipient of his tounty, h!3 charity or hi3 tact ajid rniil'ratfr.rL There wa3 no one of the

) thousands of deserving strangers who appealed to him and whm he could see his way to help that ho turned away, rot even his closest friends knew the whole of his kindly acts. 31'KANE ON THE STAND. The Xctorion.3 Gavesend Bos3 Testifies in His Own IJeLalf. BROOKLYN, N. Y Feb. 2.-JudgeEart-letfs court was crowded this morning, the leading attraction being the opening address of Mr. Roderick in defense of John Y. McKane, charged with violating the election laws at Grave-send last November. Mr. Roderick eulogized Chief McKane, speaking of him as an honorable, upright man. whose word was his bond. John Y. McKane took the stand in h's own behalf to-day. During the summer, he said, there were a great many persons living at Coney island, about 2,500. Whn asked how many llvinl at Sheepshead Ray during the same time he replied: "About 3,00." The object of thl3 testimony was to show that th? town of Gravesenl could legally have a vote of G.00O persons. He said that at about 10 o'clock on the night of Nov. 4 he was called on by telephone from Coney island by the sergeant there and told that a party of drunken men were coming" down to Graveiend. About 12:15 the party arrived, tsomt? Wtre very tlrunlc. The police slopped them when they att erupted to enter the Town Iliill and askc-l them vh:it they wanted. Receiving no answor, tne police arrested them. McNamara, who was very drunk, said: '"Vou know my relatives; don't lock me up." McKane Sdk ho was sorry to see him In such bad corr.pani', and would do what he could for him. It was Sunday morning when the rarty arrived. The Town Hall was closed, and tha Inspectors were in bed at home. One of the copyists named Sweeney told him a few days before that an armed force was coming down to GravesenJ to copy the lists. They would get a copy, even If b!'l was shed. Tne witness thought it his duty to take all necessary precautions against such men, and to protect public propertyt and life. The court adjourned with McKane on the stand. ARMED WITH RIFLES. A Mob of Strlkern Attack AVent Virginia Mluer. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Feb. 2. For some time the miners In the Montgomery mines have been on strike and have been trying to Induce the men employed by the Stevens Coal Company at Acme to quit work, but without avail. Thursday Sheriff Silman, of this city, received a telegram from the Stevens Coal Company stating that the Montgomery miners were preparing to march to Acme to drive out the working miners and asking for the protection of life and property.

The sheriff, accompanied by seven deputies, left thl3 evening for Ac:r.e, which 13 about thirty miles up the Ch?pealr:e & Ohio railroad. The nilnei are about ten miles from the railroad, and it is Impossible to ascertain the present aspect of affairs there. It Is known, however, that the Montgomery miners have been endeavoring to force the men at Acme to quit work and that the operators told the latter to do as they xleased In the matter. The m?n decided to continue work, whereupon the strikers determined to use force and 150 of them left Montgomery for Acme with Winchesters, with the avowed intention of forcing them out. nen last nearu from, at 1 p. m. to-day, this party was about half over the tenmile stretch from the railroad to the mines at Acme. Three hundred men gathered at tha mouth of tha creek to wait for the train on the branch road to c.irry them to Acme, but when the crcv saw that the officers did not come from Charleston as expected they refused to pull the train out. though the crowd tried to force ihem to do so.

The other was pulled out, but It required the strength of a dozen men to I revt nt his returning to the water in what would have been a vain attempt to itnuer all to his brother.

Episode of the Recent Campaign Against Lobengala. Private Letter in I ondon Telegraph. Whenever we we e on the march, we always had vedettes and scouts out to right, left, front, and a rear guard; thus if we saw a party of horsemen rushing toward us at a break-neck speed it was a signal to laager up, which we had to do so often that it could bo done in twenty minutes which is saying a great deal the rear wagon being a long distance astern, each wagon being almost locked In with the one ahead of it, with the dessal-beem (or shaft) outside, no that all wagxns could Inspan together. The wagons were made Into a square, icng or short, according to tho number of vehicles. We made two kuig-ers the Victoria, one, the Salisbury another and between the two laagers the cattle Qx) head track ox.en) and loot were driven. Then bush was cut and put outside; thu3 everything was as compact as possible, and we mounted on top of the vagxn.s and defended the laatjer. Tni3 continued day after day, the monotony being only broken by burning and looting kraals of the enemy and shooting game, till we came to a river called Snangani, where we laaperod up for the nl?ht Of course, every night we had a-main guard and a picket out all night, the main guard being one hundred, the picket three hundred yards from camp, and a lot of Makalakas (a tribe which stood in deadly tear of tho Matabeles) to the north of the camp. On the momlng1 of Oct 25, at 3:30, we were awakened by hearing shots fired. Immediately we stood to arms, and, looking through the darkness, saw thousands of niggers rushing toward us. When the Maxim guns started firing there was a sudden check. They could not believe it, made another rush, and were checked a gam. and so on until morning, till cayiight broke, and some of the most ghastly objects it has ever been my lot to see and I was in Rgypt were visible bodies being literally torn In pieces and lying as near as ten or twelve yards from camp. As it got lighter the enemy moved further off, and our seven-pounder (a converted twelve-pound Armstrong) eame Into play, another object of wonder to them. We saw a common shell thrown 1.500 yards, and It would have lain harmless only as soon as they saw It they llred at It with their rifles and burst it. to their own detriment. One Incident of heroism is worth recording. As the daylight was breaking we heard, about 100 yards off. yells of pain, and on looking in the direction saw a wounded nigger standing up crying: "Miaw" ("mother'), an exclamation always used by Zulus in time of distress, and these Matas are proud that they are true Zulus.) Immediately every rlrile ceased firing, and the cries of "Run In" were raised. He seemed undetermined for a long while, till the Ilishop of Mashonaland, Dr. Klnght, went out to him. and helped him into camp amid constant shots from the enemy. A cheer went up, and business was resumed. When the enemy were g3tting thinned out a little, horsemen were sent out to complete the rout. We had ten men killed In this battle. We staid there till thj afternoon, and small parties went into the bush, where we came upon numerous dead bodies, and, almost incredlbla to believe, tny amount of Martini-Henry rifles, even Kj press and Winchester weapons. One of the sights we saw was an Iduna (chief) shot through the abdom?n and hanging by the neck. It is conjectured he was in command of the expedition, and hanged himself in preference to boing killed by his King, Ixjbengula, which was a certainty after being defeated. Losses by Fire. CINCINNATI, Feb. 2. Early this morning fire destroyed the car shed of the A vend ale f lectric railway, situated at the northern end of Avondale. four miles from the city.

MUST GIVE . NAMES

Important liesolntioii by Mr. Pefl'er Adopted by the Senate. Secretary Carlisle Requested. to Tell Who Bid for Bonds, the Aniouut and Interest. OPPOSED BY MR. SIIERJLYX Who Thomrht Publicity Mijrht In- ' jure the Public Credit. His Objection Withdrawn Later and the Resolution Passed Speech by Vilas on Stewart's Resolution. WASHINGTON". Feb. 2. The day In the Senate was not an eventful one. After an hour's debate early In the session the resolution of Senator Peffer, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for tho names of persons and cororations bidding for United NStatcs bonds, and the amount of bonds and-amount of interest, was adopted. The original resolution of Senator Stewart, denying the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds at this time was then taken up, and consumed the renuiinder of the day. Senator Vilas making the principal argument in opposition to the resolution. The Senate adjourned without action on the resolution. A joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the Treasury to provide suitable boxes or cases for the bronze medals awarded exhibitors at the "World's Columbian Exhibition was reported by Senator Vilas and passed by the Senate. Senator Quay presented an amendment embodying several new sections to- the tariff bill. These sections provide for the free coinage of silver, for the purchase of 113,125 ounces of fine gold monthly, for the issue of treasury notes in payment therefor, and for the repeal of all existing laws providing for the issue of bonds. The resolution of Senator Peffer then came up for consideration. "It has never been the custom," said Senator Sherman, "to give the names of the Individuals who make the offers. To do so might be injurious to the public credit." "I want the names," persisted Senator Peffer. "If It is not proper to give them let the Senate say so." "What reason exists here why the names of the bidders shall not Ih given T inquired Senator Allen. "In the nrst place," replied Senator Sherman. "Iecau3e the request has never been made. The second reason Is that It is not good policy to disclose the private affairs and business operations of private citizens. I have no objection to the names of corporations who have made offers being called for. although I doubt the expediency even of that." Senator Harris could see no reason why the names of persons could be of any Interest to the Senate. The suggestion was made by Senator Stewart that the names of oritdnal purchasers might be very Important If the validity of these bonds should later be questioned when they are presented for payment. In answer to his opponents. Senator Peffer said he firmly believed that the financial affairs of the government are not managed by the government officers, but by speculators In New York city. Senator Cockrell declared to Senator Stewart that the tlnieiwtuld never come when the question of refusing to pay these bonds would be raised. After further discussion Senator Sherman withdrew his motion to strike out, and the Peffer resolution was adopted without amendments. SENATOR VILAS'S SPEECH. Tho resolution of Senator Stewart then eame up in regular order, with tho amendment, providing that "the money derived from the sale of such bonds cannot be lawfully applied for any other purpose than the purpose of redemption." To -this amendment Senator Vilas presented the following amendment: "Except in accordance with such acts of appropriations by Congress as may require the? ise of the same to discharge such appropriations." In speaking on the Stewart resolution Senator Vilas complained that its introduction had been delayed until the last hour, when it came as a blow at the public credit. He argued that the resumption act not only required the Secretary of the Treasury to be ready, in the first instance, to redeem greenbacks, but to be thereafter always ready to redeem them. The redee inability and the convertibility oS the greenbacks was to be ever continuing and nevr ceasing. "Congress may, by any act of appropriation." said Mr. Vilas, "direct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay out anv portion of the money in the treasury which is derived from the sale of bonds or not. Whenever Congress authorizes the payment out of the treasury of any money not otherwise appropriated. If there is no oiher money in the treasury except the gold, he 13 thereby authorized to make the payment from that fund." "There is a question." interrupted Senator Teller, "as to whether the gold reserve Is. not money otherwise appropriated. When Congress savs to the Secretary of the Treasury he may, for a specific purpose, borrow money, there is an obligation upon him, and it is a broach cf public duty on his part if he uses the money for any other purpose." "There is no specific amount of reserve fund." sWd Senator Vilas. "There never was a limit fixed to it. Whatever Congress directs the Secretary oC the Treasury to do he must Co. Ills duty is to obey Congress. Congress Is the board of directors of this treasury bonk, and he i3 their agent." At 4:15 o'clock the Clerk of the House appeared with the tariff bill, and Senator Vilas suspended his speech until tho bill was duly reported to the Senate. Hv request of Senator Voorhees it was laid before the Senate, and, on his motion, referred to the finance committee, with an order that two thousand copies be printed at once for use in the Senate. Resuming his argument. Senator Vilas said he would have considered the Secretary of the Treasury as unworthy cf relief if he had not at this time, after repeated attempts to arrive at some solution of the question, taken proper steps to fortify the trensury against the perils which beset it. The trouble with the treasury now, he went on, does not arise so much from the appropriations which have been made, as it aris es from two other measures, both of which were enacted In the Fifty-first Congress, when the Republicans had overwhelming possession of both branches of government. One of tho?measures was the McKlnJey law, by which the revenues were diminished until they are irsufflclrnt to meet the appropriations, pud the other was the Sherman law, by the operation of which disaster was precipitated upon -the country. Senator Hoar followed Senator Vilas, and declared that there was nowhere entertained any more probaMlity that within the next six months or within any reasonable time there will be any necessity for any more money in the treasury for the purlose of redemption of United States notes than there will be a war with the Australian possessions of Greet Pritfaln. It was we'd known if any money is gained from the sale of these bonds. It was the purpose to put it in the treasury with one hand and take !t out with the other to pay current expenses. The Secretary of the Treasury was not borrowing it for the purpose of redemption, and that proposition vjs too ridiculous for discussion. The resolution, on request of Senator Teller, wnt over until Wednesday, and. on motion of Senator Fpulkner. the Senate went into executive ss?'on r.t 5 p. m. and, at 5:10, adjourned till Monday.

AN EXCITING1 DEBATE. Concluded from First Tnice.) serve and promote the mutual interests of both Hawaii and the United States." MR. HITTS SPEECH. Mr. Hltt, the leader of the Republican minority of the foreign affairs committee, replied to Mr. McCreary. Mr. Hitt made the point that the majority resolution was a discussion of dead issues, while the proposition of the minority considered the live, v4tal questions which everyone recognized in connection with the recent affairs In Hawaii The attitude of the administration on the great question of annexation was not yet known. Mr. Hitt spoke of the strength of the provisional government, which had maintained Itself even as against the meddling of the agents of the United States. And yet the present administration had attempted hara-kiri in a foreign country fully capable of governing itself. In all questions of foreign intervention one of two causes wer? recognized as necessary' to warrant the intervention. One was self-preservation, which warranted a government in sustaining its rights by foreign intervention itself. The other was to prevent or overcome cruelty or inhumanity. But neither of these causes operated to warrant our intervention with the provisional government. On th contrary, our intervention was to restore to a throne a Queen whosa horrid character had shocked the civilized world. It was in behalf of a woman who had told Minister Willis, while shivers ran down his back, that she would behead a great number of her people. Mr. Hitt was warmly applauded at his severe arraignment of the Queen. Continuing, he said that IJomba, by his fierce cruelties, had awakened the horror of Europe, but hij brutalities did not compare with the Bartholomew's day massacre with which this Queen intended to celebrate her return to the throne. Willis had acted like a soidier, and had performed the loathsome duty assigned to him. His dispatches showed how nis innate decency rebelled against the performance of such a task. Mr. Hitt pictured U12 condition of affairs during the reign of terror existing up to the time Minister Willis's purposes were disclosed. For one hundred years, hz said, the United States hud been iirst to gret a new republic and the last to uphold a tottering monarchy. - But now ihis policy was changed. Thi gentleman (Mr. McCreary) hod sat forth the doctrine for the nrst time that republican institutions could not be established or maintained until a vote had been taken and the republic had been approved by popular vote. Mr. Hitt referred with pride to the business success of the Americans in Hawaii, thjen he launched Into a most terrific arraignment of Mr. Cleveland. He said: "Think of it; think of it. While he had in hand that letter from Minister Willis reciting the story of that brutal Interview with the Queen, in which she demanded the holacaust of property and the slaughter of American citizens, he sent out still another order to overthrow the republican form of government and put back that wretch In power. (Republican applause). Minister Willis's Instructions amounted to this: Go find that woman, whose vdee, folly and extravagance was checked by the people last January. Tell her of the determination of the President to restore her; ask her for amnesty for the revolutionists and then go to the provisional government to get it to relinquish Its power. That was the programme, and all there was of it. 'But the best-laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee.' (Republican applause). This romantic Queen of the beautiful isles was not what she has been pictured. Mr. Willis found her a monster incarnate, and Mr. Cleveland has been censured more for not giving to the public that letter of Nov. 16, which would have given her true character to the world than for all else in connection with this whole disgraceful proceeding. The further off you go, the arm of justice swings a mightier blow. The people had a right to know in whose interest the power of the United States was to be used to overthrow a peaceful republic." (Republican applause). Mr. Hitt concluded the first portion of his speech this evening with a splendid tribute to the brave and resolute men of his own race in charge of the provisional government, who, when called upon to surrender in the name of the United States, instead of making terms, piled up sandbags, proceeded to arm themselves and prepared to die if necessary rather than to forfeit the property they had earned and surrender the rights given them by God. Without concluding, at 5 o'clock, Mr. Hitt yielded to a motion to adjourn, and will conclude to-morrow. DISPATCH FIIOM WILLIS. Dole's AnMTcr Xot Received In Time for Mntltntr hy Last Steamer. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. The President to-day transmitted to Congress a dispatch from Minister Willis received last Saturday. The letter of President Dole is not included for lack of time to transcribe It after Mr. Willis received It Dispatches Nos. 25, 26 and 27, which are withheld, are merely statements of accounts, legation requisitions, etc. The President, in transmitting the dispatch, said: "I hereby transmit a communication from the Secretary of State, accompanied by a dispatch received a few days ago from our minister to Hawaii." The dispatch from Minister Willis is marked "confidential." It Is numbered 27,, Is dated Honolulu, Jan. 12, and is addressed to "Hon. W. Q. Gresham, Secretary of State." It follows: "Sir On yesterday, at G p. m., I received Hon. S. 13. Dole's answer to my lettre of Jan. 1, requesting him, 'at his earliest convenience,' to give me the specifications contained in a prior letur. His answer is about fifty pages of closely written official paper, and has been delivered to-day to either copy or reply to in time for the steamer leaving at 2 p. m. to-day. There is one extract, however, to which I think attention should be called, wherein it is stated thLs government has been and NOW IS subjected to the necessity of increased watchfulness and a large additional expense which, but for such attitude, would have been unnecessary.' The emphasis above is mine. In a previous letter of Dec. 27 Minister Dole had stated 'the government offices have been placed and still continue In a condition of defense and preparation for siege, and the community has been put into a state of mind bordering on terrorism.' Some portions of the letters from which these extracts are made confirm the above statements, while others seem to negative them. With this explanation I submit them to your consideration. "The next steamer leaves here Feb. 3, which would place you in possession of Mr. Dole's letter and my purjsed reply thereto about Feb 18. Very respectfully, "ALBERT S. WILLIS." The President's brief message, with accompanying communications, was referred to the committee on foreign relations. LATEST FIIOM HAWAII. Xo Truth In ti Hejort that American Murine "Were Landed.

ROBBERS THWARTED Bold Scheme to Steal 15,000 from a Bank Runner. It Came to Xa tight, However, but It Was Not the Fault of the "Men of Nerve'' Diamond Thief Arrested. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2. A clever scheme cf robbery was revealed to-day, when Victor Hamilton Echorn, of the Pennsylvania Salt-works Company, was arrested for endeavoring to steal $13,0X) of the company's money from the runner of the Southwark Dank. It was finally matured and was carried out in every proposed detail, with the exception that, instead of getting 515,000, Echorn got a bag full of bvicks and paper and was caught redhanded. Echorn's plan was to have the runner of the Southwark Bank, bringing 513.000 to meet the bi-weekly pay roll, waylaid and robbed. He needed an assistant or two, anJ. on JaJi. 14, he inserted an advertiscBient in a mornlns paper "For men of nerve." George C. Thomas, of New York, who was !n the city seeking employment, answered the advertisement, as did also Frank J. Mullln. Both these men, independently, informed the police. They were directed to acquiesce in the scheme In order to punish the would-be thief. Theodore Armstrong. th3 president of the Salt Company was told of the scheme and orders were sent to the Southwark Bank officials to have the money exoressei direct from the bank instead of conveying It to the company's oilice. In order not to create suspicion, Mr. Armstrong visited the. bank to-day as was his custom uion the days when the money was drawn from that institution, and detective Murray, who was stationed close by. noticed anotner vehicle containing Echorn. Thomas and Mulllns, standing on Second street, atchinff the bank closely. When the messenger walked out of the bank carrying a dummy" canvass pouch, marked on tha outside 12,500" in large letters, the horse attached to th2 other vehicle started on a run up Second street, and long before the banks conveyance reached the place, Thomas the inside man, had taken his station In the hall leading to the office and Mulltn the outside confederate, was posted on the step, while their wagon stood on Letltla street. Just above the corner of Chestnut. The bank wagon stopped in front of the door, and the messenger jumped out with his 'dummy." As soon as he reached the hall he was met by Thomas, who grabbed the pouch and ran, and Mulllns, on the outside, attempted to carry out his part of the business by clapping the Iron bar on the door, but that part of the plan miscarried In the excitement. The two men hastened to the wagon, jumped in and started for Market street. Just as: they reached the corner of Second they were joined by Echorn, who carried a small hand satchel. Before he could be comfortably seated, however, detectives TirtnH on.i Tiirmv mounted the vehicle, took WUIIU v "J - htm intn MNtnrfv and conveyed nim to tne t Central station. Thomas was to get S2.5W. MuJiins $i,.xA, and the rest was 10 go io Echorn. Echorn was for a lon time In the employ of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company in the capacity of accountant. He was held in 2,0u0 bail for conspiracy to commit felony. DIAMOND THIEF CAUGHT. He Stole $150,000 Worth of Precious Stones from n Salemiian. NEW YORK, Feb. 2. A telegram was received at the office of the Plnkerton detective agency In this city to-day from Hot Springs, Ark., containing the information that Fritz D. Heim, a notorious diamond thief, had been captured in that place by Plnkerton detectives. This news was Immediately sent by the Plnkerton people to the office of the Jewelers' Protective Union, and there was great rejoicing over it throughout Maiden Iane. The Jewelers Protective Association has been hunting for Hiem since Nov. K 1891, when he stole $150,0ix) worth of diamonds at the railway station in Dayton, O. The satchel containing the gems he took from 11. M. Kranlg. a salesman for the Herman-Keck Manufacturing Company, of Cincinnati. On the 13th of December, through the arrest of William Hurless, alias Charles Blondy, an alleged accomplice of Hiem, the entire lot was found In four glass fruit Jars buried on the farm of Hurless's father at Jeffersonville, O. Five days later the detectives captured Hiem, but when he was taken before a. magistrate by the sheriff, to whom he had been turned over, his friends made a rush, and, in the scramble which followed. Hiem escaped. Then began a long chase over a goodly portion of this country and Europe, but Hiem aiwnvs kept a few days ahsad. Following him back from Europe to New York, they lost him, but a few days ago got track of hfcn and located him at the race track at Hot Springs, where he was captured to-day. It is said he had been doing a bunco business among ra? goers. He has served time in State's prison, and is known under several aliases. He will be taken for trial to Dayton, O., where the robbery was committed. A NORTHWESTERN CANDIDATE. Mr. Carter Says Srooner's Name May lie Considered for the Presidency. NEW YORK, Feb. 2. Hon. Thomas C. Carter, chairman of the Republican national commltte?, was asked to-day if the Northwest would produce a candidate at the next presidential convention. "Well." replied the ex-Congressman from Montana, "the friends of ex-Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, speal of him as a strong candidate who is thoroughly identified with the interests of the Northwest. His name will no doubt receive favorable consideration." Sovereign "Will Talk. PITTSBURG, Pa,. Feb. 2. Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, has written to Secretary Uurrows, of the People's party, of Pennsylvania, consenting to make one or more speeches In this State in the Interest of Victor A. Lotler, the People's party candidate for Congressman at large. In the letter he says: "I think every workingman in the State of Pennsylvania, entitled to a vote, should rebuke the money power, the- bondholding aristocracy and the robbing corporations by casting his vote for Victor A. Lotler for representative In Congress. Nine-tenths of all the evils which menace the working people of to-day and rob them of the fruits of their toll is th result of bad legislation, and the working people can only break the bonds of oppression by supplanting the bor.dmakers with patriotic men who represent the dearest interests of th common people and the perpetuity of republican government." Pennsylvania Democrats Split. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2. All probability of anything like harmony In the ranks of the Pennsylvania Democracy was ended to-day by the Issuance of the letter of acceptance of Markley, the candidate of the Pennsylvania Democracy for Congressman at large. It Is addressed to the executive committee of the independent organization, and is a bitter denunciation of the Stite administration, and closes: "In entering this contest and Incoming the standardbearer of revolt I desire It known that the present movement has come to stay until its mission Is accomplished In regenerating the tarty from boss ownership, in relegating spoilsmen to the ranks and in giving the people of the State an organization to which they can look for helpful aid in promoting the public welfare."
