riim INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY. JÜNE U, 18S2.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14. AriKa rpMiit CooTeatioa of the Maine rrohibitionista. held at Augusta, only forty doWates were in attendance. This looked gloomy. The Cincinnati cowuicrei! is of the opinion if General Sherman is retired from the Army "he would be in prime condition tnr m. 'Pr1pntial candidate." But hie name is against him, as also his relations He is John's brother. Bohemia has the deepest mine in the world the silver inlne known as the "Acedeniie Imperiale des Mms." Its lowest depth is 3,300 feet, at which point the tem perature is only 75.90 degrees t . as a con sequence, only natural ventilation, bo far, has been required. ffrxrc 1ST0 there h&3 been a decrease "of children of school age in the State of Maine, aOTejrating 14,240. The present school pop ulation of the State is set down at 213,927. Of these only 150, OCT attend school, leaving CLÜG0 children without the benefit of edu cation. This is a bad showing for Blaine's Rtota In Main the authorities pay male school teachers $23.23 per month, and female teachers $14.52 per month, a difference in favor of males of $13.71 per month. There is a necessity for more woman's rights in Maine. Experts have come to the conclusion that a few hundred feet below the surface of Marion County, Pennsylvanion, there is a lake of oil practically inexhaustible. The wells recently bored flow at the rate of from 2,000 to 3,000 barrels a day, and in some of them the oil is thrown up with such force as to be beyond all control, rilling all the tanks and improvised resources, and flooding the country. Such flowing wells completely demoralize the oil market. Speculators stand aghast and prices go down in spite of the bulls. Corners are out of the question, and consumers feel happy. . The probabilities now are that the MalleyCramer trial will have to begone through with again. One of the jurors is sick, having erysipelas in the head, and to make matters worse he is seventy-four years old. The chances for his recovery are not very flattering, and State Attorney Doolittlesays, in the event of the old man's death or inability to appear again in the Jury box, he will try the case over again. Mr. Doolittle is of the opinion that he can convict the Malleys, but so far the general opinion is that the State has failed to make out a clear case. For mysterious murders Connecticut takes the first premium. Not wiTHSTAs diso all the information that has been published recently regarding the plain provisions oi the State Constitution as to the course that amendments to that instrument should take, we find a Re. publican Convention in Whitley County, even as late as last Saturday, demanding tjiat the four proposed amendments to our State Constitution shaU be submitted to all the voters of our State for adoption or rejection. We once again repeat that unless the next Legislature agrees to these amendments they can not be submitted to the people. The State Constitution is our authority for saying so. and yet these Whitley County Republicans denounce everybody who does not agree with them. Thus they denounce their own State Constitution. We refer them to the sixteenth article of that instrument. . The "Washington Post referring to the highhanded outrages perpetrated by a Republican majority in the Ilouse of Representatives, remarks that "Having determined to bldly override all rules, customs and laws which could in any way obstruct their progress, it was not difficult for the Republicans of the House to instantly strike a telling gait in the way of unseating Democratic Congressmen from the South. Bat truth to tell, their industry has gone beyond the nv Bt sanguine expectations. It was only on Monday that Speaker Keifer made his revolutionary decision on the Reed rule, and to-day the world is aware that two more Democratic Representatives have gone to join General Chalmers, and that Mackey and Bisbee sit in the seats to which Messrs. Dibble and Finley were elected." Within the entire range of Republican outrages, and they are both numerous and flagitious, nothing has transpired so clearly indicative of the malign spirit of Republicanism as the action of the Ilouse in unseating Democratic Congressmen. "It is," says the Post, "alike impervious to argument and to a decent regard for facts, giving audience only to their prejudices and bent on the accomplishment of partisan purposes, whether sanctioned by the law or in its direct defiance, timeand lack of occasion can be their only limitations." Such outrages as characterize the Republican majority to secure partisan supremacy can not be lopg tolerated by the American people. The time for retribution is certainly near at band. It will be remembered that one of the Louisiana Returning Board knaves wts one G. Casanave, a colored undertaker, doing business in New Orleans. Mr. Casanave has at last come to erief. He is to be sold out by the Sheriff Casanave was the most un lucky of all the scamps connected with the Louisiana Returning Board crimes, which counted Tilden out and counted Hayes in; for, while his associates, Wells, "Anderson and Kenner, obtained offices, as the reward of their perjuries in the New Orleans Custom House, Casanave got nothing. His only reward was a $1,400 storekeepership for his brother. The ex of the defense of the Returning Board, indicted in the Circuit Com t at New Orleans for perjury and fraud, were $5,000, and a9 his associates were insolvent, Casanave's property was levied on to meet the judgment rendered for the fee. On August 7,1879, he wrote to Mr. Hayes declaring that he was a poor man; that, unlike the others, be had received no office from the Administration, and that if ho- were now sold out he would be ruined, adding: "I called on Mr. Sherman yesterday, and he proffered me a contribution of $100, as the only relief he could offer me, which I was compelled to decline out of respect for the great Finance Minister of our GovernmenU' Qa this letter Casanave obtained $500 at the

I White Ilouse, and between Mr. Hayes, Mr.

Sherman and Mr. Shellabarger obtained $1,250 more on th 15th, making up the sum needed to stay execution for a while longer. But the assistance was not sufficient to eave his property, coffins, caskets and lwarses. and cnlesa Sherman, Hayes and Sheila barger again ooma to the rescue, Casanave will undertake to bury the dead no more. Sherman, it is not prob able, w:ll contribute, and it is very certain Hayes will not Tossibiy, afber Casanave is sold out an effort will be made to cet him a Government appointment, just to keep him from squealing, for even now the Republican party does not relish revelations concerning the great fraud of 1876. AMERICAN KINGS. The United States of America has, if we are to accept as true current reports, a num ber of Kings, all of them crowned and i. j ; i i .1 : : n sceutureu ana reigmug ujr umm 6Uk Fortunately for the country these Kings are in alliance and harmony reigns in so far as their edicts are coucerned. If ourre col lection serves us correctly. King Cotton was the first to claim recognition, and for many years he was the most imperial of all the American Kings. When King Cotton spoke the world listened in reverential silence and awe. There were those, however. who. though willing to pay tribute to King Cotton, doubted his claim to supremacy. They admired his wealth of bolls and bales, they looked on with admiration when European potentates kneeled in his presence and acknowledged his power. Still there was a lurking idea that the time was at hand when King Cotton would have to surrender some of his glory and prestege, and reign in union with other kings. The time was not long delayed and then came King Corn, King Wheat, King Cotton and KiBg Hay in magnificent procession, crowned and sceptered, with pomp and circumsUnnece, demanding that King Cotton enter into an alliance with them, and that together they would rule, not only in the United States, but throughout the civilized world. These Kings graciously admitted to their grand consultation chambers some of the nobility, representing other interests, as, for instance. His Royal Highness Hay, the Duke of the Dairy, Prince of Potatoes, and others of less renown, forming a royal league for the ad vancement of the prosperity of the country. No grander picture was ever presented than when these American K intra sat in council. At their bidding the world moed and the people rejoiced. Bat now comes another claimant for a crown and a sceoter King Coal. His organ, the Philadelphia Record, presents his claims in a way that entitles him to recognition, and his coronation is assured. The Record says that King Coal "has become the master of almost the whole material world." This King began his career about 100 years ago. in the days of Watt, Stephenson, and Fulton, and has grown in power ana lnuuence uniu n is difficult to realize the vastness of his realm. "The total output of all kinds of coal in the United Stotes, for 1881, amounted, in rouud numbers, to 70,122,000 tons." Let this immense total be supposed to be piled up in a lot 500 feet square to a hight of 0 feet, and filled v fifty times, it would not wholly exhaust the amount of coal that was mined in this country last year. The great pyramids of Egypt are regarded as miracles' of industry aud wasted labor. The largest of all, at Gizeh, which took 100,000 men almost half a century to build, contains very nearly 80,000,000 cubic feet of stone. Yet if ail tue coal mined in this country in 1881 had been piled in pyramids of a similar size there would have been more than twenty-six of these tremendOUS monuments of coal completed, or one every two weeks. Again, suppose that a square column had been made of coal, allowing it a base fifty feet square, there would be more than 1,700 such columns 500 feet high, rising to the level with the projected top of the Washington monument in Washington. The great Chinese wall is believed to be 1,400 miles long, twenty feet high and twenty-four feet thick, containing 3,513,1(30,000 cubic feet If the coal of 1831 had been put into such a wall it would have extended from Philadelphia to Chicago, and have had enough left over to have surrounded both cities." This settles the question. King Coal may reign with the other Ameri-; can Kings. He is at liberty to tell what he does to keep up steam, drive machinery and move the country on in its career of prosperity. It is right difficult to determine which of the American . Kings is the most august. The people are at liberty to choose and shout for thair favorite. MILLIONAIRES. The recent death of Moses Taylor, the New York millionaire, has suggested to a number of our esteemed contemporaries the propriety of discussing, pro ct con, the choice made by Mr. Taylor in regard to the disposition of his ducats. We have had a number of estimates of Mr. Taylor's wealth, and the lowest point reached is $25,000,000, the highest $45,000,000. The lowest is Mg enough. It is stated that "it is not in the range of possibility that any such amount could be accumulated as the result of ordi nary profits in legitimate and wholesome enterprise and business endeavor." But it is stated that all of Mr. Taylor's enterprises were "legitimate and wholesome," and we can readily conceive how Mr. Taylor's im mense fortune could nave been ac cumulated by enterprises, which the world calls "legitimate and wholesome.' If Mr. Taylor had had a small amount of cash on hand fifty years ago, and had invested It in New York City real estate, the rise in values would have given him all the millions of which he died possessed; and an advance in the price of real estate, we believe, is regarded as "legitimate and wholesome." Mr. Taylor was fortunate in his investments. Coal mine property in Pennsylvania has advanced almost as rapidly as the price of real estate in the city of New York; and as Mr. Taylor was a large owner in that sort of property. he grew rapidly rich by legitimate and wholesome means-ea regarded by men who esteem themselves experts in the scienca of political economy. The power of money to make money is poorly understood. Inter est, simple or compound, builds fortunes more rapidly than enters into the calculations of the masses, and when large estates are handled by capable men accumulations go forward to colossal propor

tions. It is thought in some quarters that when rich men die they should give large sums for public benefactions. When such donations are made the world applauds. Mr. Taylor did nothing of the sort. He did not give a dollar to help the poor. It does not appear that he ever had a thought for them. He gave nothing for asylum or school, nothing to help the lame, the halt, the blind, the deaf, the fallen, the outcast He died and left his vast estate to his five children, each one of whom will

receive from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000. But he did not discriminate like the elder Vanderbiltv Ills estate will be broken into fragments, no one child will take all or nearly all, and in this regard Mr. Taylor acted wisely. Great wealth gives its possessor great opportunities. It is used to carry forward great enterprises. If it builds roads and ships, houses and factories; if it subdues the wilderness, opens mines, increases agri cultural products and the supply of food; if it sets machinery in motion and gives remunerative employment to men and women, then we see no reason for criticising millionaires, dead or alive. If fortunes are used to create caste, to enthrone snobbery, to purchase Legislators to override the laws to oppress the poor and establish monopolies, then they become dangerous to society, and can not be too searchingly Criticised. The controlling idea of the times is to make money. As a consequence there is a wild scramble a continuous rush and whirl. And still, with it all, we have a fair share of prudent thought, and all things considered, the world i growing better. BLEEDING THE NATION, Excessive taxation to creete a surplus in the Treasury continues without abatement. Internal revenue tax and tariff tax brings to the Treasury millions for which the Government has no use except to pay the public debt at a rate not required, and to accomplish which taxation becomes burdensome and exhaustive. To show the steady increase of the burdens of taxation it is stated that the collections, "customs, internal revenue and miscellaneous," for the month of May, 1882, amounted to $36.551,301, against $32,223,715 for May, 18S1, a difference of $3.327,5SG. It is stated that the interest bearing debt shows a reduction for May of $15,000,000, which Is at the rate of $180,000,000 a year, and it is assumed that tbe actual reduction will not fall Bhort of $150.000,000. We have shown that the receipt of revenue for May, 1382, were more than $3,000,000 In excess of May, 1SS1, and it is stated that the receipts for eleven months, ended May 31, amounted to $374,425,331, or nearly $14,000,000 more than for the twelve months ended June 30, 1881. For the current fiscal year, ending June 30, the receipts are estimated at $405,000,000 and it is farther stated that the receipts of this fiscal year wfll be greater than for any preceeding year since 1870, when they were $411,000,000. Instead of paying the public debt at the rate of $150,000,000 or $180.000,000 a year, the outside re quirement is not more than $50,000,000, and the taxation to raise the extra $100,000.000, is simply a financial outrage for which there is no justification whatever. KEIFER, THE FIVE-CENT SHINE. Keifer is Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives by the grace of Don Cameron and the votes ot the Stalwarts. He holds the third office in rank in the United States Government, an office that has been held by such men as Jonathan Trumbull, Henry Clay, Robert C. Winthrop and others more or less illustrious for nobility of character and splendid attainments. True, some re markably small men have been Speakers of the House, but, all things considered, J. Warren Keifer is probably the smallest One instance will suffice. It tells the whole story, brings into the greatest possible prominence the true inwardness of the Republican dwarf, whose rulings are distinguished for about equal proportions of imbecility, incivility and malignity. This Republican Speaker, who draws a salary of $3,000 a year, attended Garfield's funeral. . He was one of the political mourners who was supposed to carry more grief pressure to the square inch than an ordinary Congressman. This man Kiefer kept an itemized account of his expenses while absent on his funeral excursion. He ought to be published. The world ought to see the document. It ought to go "thundering down the ages.". The country is favored with one item. It grows the size of Keifer, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives. It brings Keifer to the front grandly. Listen, O 50,000,000 of Americans Keifer charged the United States Government, while away as a mourner at Garfield's funeral,, for a FIVE-CENT SHINE. Let Keifer be known in future as the Five-Cent Shiner. It measures him exactly. He is the man who, receiving from the Government $21.91.8 per day, Sundays included, refused to pay five cents for a snisE, and charged it to the Government From this time henceforth and forever let him bt known as "Keifer, the Five-Cent Shiseb." 0 the 1st the Treasurer of the United States states the amount of coin and bulion on band as follows: Gold coin.. ....

Miss Mary Anderson visited Mount Auburn Cemetry on Decoration Day and placed a beauti ful wreath of flowers upon the grave of the poet Longfellow, who was one of her kindest and most valued friends. She also decorated the grave of Charlotte Cuabman. The oldest deed In America is said to be in tbe possession of Major Lelaad, of this city. It was written eighteen years after tbe discovery of tbe New World bv Columbus. Tbe document is a conveyance of Fisher Island, near the mouth of the Sound, from certain Indian chiefs to the celebrated navigator, John Cabot, whose signature it bears. Mrs. Senator Miller and Mlsa Dora Miller sail Monday for Europe, and, after a few weeks in Parts, will retnrn to this country In August, going Immediately then to their home in California. Tbe visit is partly undertaken for the benefit of Miss Miner's health. Senator Miller will remain in Washington untij the adjournment of Congress, by which time bis family will return, and they will prx'eed Westward together.

THE STOLEN PLATES.

Reasons Why tbe Sentence' of Doyl, the Counterfeiter, was Postponed The Hand Plates Geatune. Chicago, June 6 A Washington special this morning reports sensational develop ments in the Doyle-Brockway bond couu terfeit case. In brief the story is that about May 1 Samuel Felker, who is known here as a very successful detective, gave a hint that be. could surrender an original transfer plate of the $1,000 6 per cent, bond of the Issue of 1SS1, if the case of Doyle, then pending in the United States Court here. could be continued. Felker went with the plate, which he had possession -of. to Washington and in company with C. B. Farwell and John C. New, who had examined it with experts, they tried to secure an interview for Felker with Folger, who, how ever, refused at first to treat with relker. As result Felker threatened to take the Elate to Tilden, Hewitt, Randall and others, nder Farwell's representations, however, the detective waited a few days and Foieer, whose views had changed during that time on account of some startling facts that bad come to his ear, received Felker, who dis played letters of hearty indorsement from Mayor Harrison, Sheriff Mann, Senator Logan and others, that gave him a status at once with the Secretary. The Sec retary desired to have the experts of the Bureau of Encmine examine the plate, but Felker objected to 4,that gang," as he called them, they being under suspicion. having given false testimony in the case at Chicago. Georgtj Jones. President of the Columbian Uank Note Company for forty years, an engraver, then examined it and pronounced it cenuine. Mr. Neal, of the Treasury, an expert in engraving, declared it the cenuine transfer. Mr. Lamb faade the came statement The Secie'. Service officers meantime declared tl.e . l&t counterfeit. The experts told Folger only one man in Washington could say whether, with a geometric lathe, the work was . genuine, and be was Georee Tichner. who does-all that class of work. He examined it with his glass, and, after much hesitation, knowing the importance of the decision, declared the work gen uine, and that no human hand could have done it in a lifetime, and no hand of an en graver could have done it. The officials of the Bureau of Engraving did not know whether they had the originals from which these impressions were taken, but subsequently taid these vignettes and dies were destroyed in 18GÜ, and in the presence of the Commissioner. A report was found setting forth that fact, but the names of the signers werev torn off, an extraordinary explained the circumstances. The Bauk Note Company, of New York, which did the work, had a Government receipt, dated October, 18G4, showing that the vignette had been returned to the Government It was between October 1804 and 1870. The letd matrices, or impressions, must have been made, and Secretary Folger has now aa acknowledgment from the Bureau of Engraving that they had thesa dies during that period. The entire statement of JJrockway and Felker is that these plates were purchased from an accomplice inside the Bureau, who is not named. It is said Brockway declared positively there was cn understanding between the counterfeiters and the officers of the Bureau. The reposts made to Folger are that very many more than the $J04.000 bonds found on Doyle had been altered. That the three found at Peoria were a part of the $100,000 circulated at Pueblo, Col. Tbe statement that SJ,000,000 were issued is adhered to, but tbe Secretary believes only $204,000 and the $3,000 at Peoria were all that were issued. It is believed the Secretary has now very many secret agents in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and will try to avoid publicity in the matter. Some of the persons charged with complicity are dead, some have been removed and some are now in the service. The Secretary has advised a suspension of Doyle's sentence in Chicago. THE STAU KOCTE J I KY. Judge Wylie Says a Few Words in Defense of tbe Same. Washington, June 8. In the Criminal Court, as Mr. McSweeney was about to resume the argument in the Star Route ca es, he was interrupted by Judge Wylie who said his attention had been called in the last day or two to ascertain which ai tides ap peared in the papers of this District and New York City in regard to certain Jurors in this case, especially salesmen. These articles, it appeared to him, did great injus tice to the Marshal as well as to the Jurors. Ten of the Jurors were felected from a regu lar panel. The Court then ordered salesmen to be summoned, and two only we jo called. The first of these two was Hugh T. Mur ray, lie was inteirogateq as to his qualilications as Juror, and after he answered the inte'rogatories by counsel on both sides the District Attorney accepted him. Now, when the United States is through, by its own counsel, in presence of the Court, and a Juror was acceptable, it is thought the Juror ought not to be assailed by writers for newspapers, who deal in vague reports and draw inferences without foundation. He did not know the gentleman personally, but-he had been regularly summoned, passed examination as, to his qualifications and accepted. He had no doubt the Juror would perform his sworn duty according to his conscience, and it was cruel injustice for newspaper writers to assail such J uror without foundation; in fact, his past experience convinced him that these charges were without foundation. The Hying rumors were calculated to do great harm and render these persons liable to prosecution, and he thought it his duty as DUtrict Attorney to take official notice of these newspaper articles which intended to embarrass the administration of justice. He cautioned the Jury to avoid even tbe appearance of collision with persons outside, to keep their own counsel and keep themselves uncontaniinated by the ou'side world. These remarks, made with the greatest earnestness and deepest feeling by Judge Wylie, produced a great sensation in the Court room, and all eyes were fixed upon the Jury during the delivery. Mr. McSweeney, after a few moments, took up the thread of his argument and procet ded to defend ex-Senator Dorsey. , When the Court reassembled theexaiuination of witnesses was resumed, but the testimony related entirely to, the looseness of the system of the l'ostoiiice Department. The . Court, in overruling the objection of the counsel for the öefense, said he was not going to allow-argument on such trivial points. FOUK1GM RELATIONS. attractions to Minister Lowell Coucernlns; Inter-Ocean Canal Projects. Washington, June 6. On May 8 last, Secretary Frelinghuysen sent a long dispatch to Lowell on the subject of the rela tions between Great Britain and the United States to the various inter-ocean canal pro jects. Without in so many words declaring the Clayton-Bul wer treaty abrogated, the Secretary of State asks our Minister at Lon don to call the attention of Lord Granville to two points, either one of which serves to bar the claim made by Her Majesty's Gov ernraent that the terms of the treaty of 1S50 bind the United States to accept the propo sition to share its control, and a protectorate over the canal , with Great Britain or any European power. The points are these: First, that through a violation of the terms of the treaty by Great Britain and gradn lly magnifying what was at first a British "settlement" in Honduras, under Spanish-American sovereignty, into a British

"settlement and possession.,, the treaty has become voidable and may at any time be made void by the United States; second, that the treaty, so far . as the terms were specific, applied to a canal, and that alone, and the Kicaraguan route, and to that alone; any fcgreement covering other canals and railways being expressly relegated to future treaty stipulations, which have not yet been agreed upon, and to whose forming and ratification Freliqghuysen presents strong obi'ections. Having made these points, and lavinsr also gone over some well understood and reasonable grounds of opposition on the part of the United States to foreign intervention in the matter of the canal as being contrary to the Monroe doctrine and dangerous to the material interests of this country, the Secretary of State rests this case with an expression of confidence that the difference between the two Governments will be satisfactorily adjusted before tle canal will be built BLOOD! BLOOD!

A Southern Editor Wounds a State Official la a Dael. New Orleans, June 7. A duel was fought this morning at a slaughter house between Major E. A. Burke, of the Times-Democrat, and C. H. Parker, editor of the Picayune. Pistols were used aud five f-hots exchanged. At the fifth shot Burke was shot through the thigh. The wound is not considered dangerous. The trouble grew out of an article in the Picayune of June 2, under caption, "How About the Condition of the General Fund?" to which Major Burke, who is State Treasurer, took exceptions. Friday last he sent a. peremptory challenge to Parker to hght a duel. Parker accepted, and his representatives. Georire L. Hall and James It Kenshaw, named Mississippi rifles as weapons, liurte uau choice of distauce, and James D. Houston and Major John Augustin, his seconds, tixedit twoand a half paces. Inougii no reasons were given by Dur&e s menus ior naming so snort a distance, it is generally understood they did so necause of the reputed expertness of rarker with the weapon, the distance named not being satisfactory. After conference, regular duelling pistols were agreed upon; distance, twenty paces; ground selected. St. Bernard Parish, near a slaughter house. Major Burke and triends arrived first and were soon joined by Tarter and friends. Burke's seconds won the toss for position, and Hall was selected to give the word. Everything in readiness, the principals took their position, aud at the word the weapons were discharged almost simultaneously. Neither man. was hurt Efforts were made to adjust the difficulty, but Burke's friends held their principal had been wronged, and asked if the. wrong would be righted. Parker's friends admitted Burke was a man of courage, and thought that was sufficient. Burke's friends claimed the Picayune had criticised him too freely, that criticisms were outside of the pale of journalism. Parker's friends stated he had a right to criticise any public officer, and still reserved that right. As no compromise could be effected, the principals took their positions for the second shot which, like the first, was ineffective. Unsuccessful attempts to arrange the difficulty followed. Then came the third, shot, barren of result as the first and second. A long parley then took place, Burke's friends demanding Parker should acknowledge bravery and personal and official integrity to Burke, which his friends claimed Parker had inpugned in a series of articles in the Picayune. Parker's friends could not make satisfactory disclaimor, and furiher efforts at compromise stopped. The fourth round was fired and no one hurt At the fifth fire Major Burke was shot through both legs about three inches below the knee, and would have fallen but wan caught by his seconds. When Parker's second discovered that Burke wjis wounded, they asked permission for their party to retire from the ground. The request was granted by the beconds on the other eide. The parties then separated, and Burke was conveyed to his residence on Camp street Parker going to the Picayune office. Those who witnessed the duei agree in stating the principals acted with remarkable courage and coolness, and that the affair was conducted according to the code. Drs. Scott and Loebcr, physicians in attendance, at once dressed Burke's wound?. This evening he is resting quietly, and his physicians say that they have.no reason to apprehend serious trouble. The duel was tbe subject of general conversation throughout the city to day, but the Evening Picayune makes no mention of the affair. FKANK J AM I S. A. BAtid of Bobbers Take Possession of Bank and Kob It of Se feral Thousand Dollars Frank James Supposed to be Among Them. Kansas City, June 7. About 3:50 o'clock this afternoon, just as the Bank of Brookfield, situated in the town of Brookfield, on the Hannibal and Jt Joe Railway, was clos. ing for the dav six men rode into town from the West down the street, and dismounting entered the bank, where they covered the clerks with their revolvers and went through the safe and money drawers securing abou $5,000 in cash. They then backed out still covering the frightened bank people with their revolvers, and remounting, departed in the way they came, firing thtir revolvers and Bhouting like demons. The robbers, as they departed, started toward the other bank, but were evidently afraid of finding a warm reception prepared for them, and concluded to abandon this part of their original scheme and safely make way with their booty. The robbers connected with this audacious deed were all masked, but their description is as follows: Three were apparently young men and all well built One was an old man, as his hair was quite gray, and being long, hung from beneath his heavy black slouch hat upon his shoulders. Another one was so completely masked as to be in perfect disguise, and no description of him could be attempted by the people at the bank. He kept in tho background, but he seemed to be the leader, and the impression in Brookfield and among those who heard the news here that he is no less than Frank James. The sixth and last member of the gang is not described, except that he had a long, sharp nose and piercing black eyes. Ihe party was arnied with two heavy revolvers each and spread terror throughout the town as they rode through it The men were well mounted, and rode like troopers. Two of the horses were bay, one a black, one a sorrel, and one a erey. A special says: ,lThe County Sheriff and Marshal organized a posse as speedily as possible and started after the robbers. In conversation with Bob Ford, Dick Little, exMarshal Lcggett and others, in St Louis.who are familiar with the James gang, the opinion was gleaned from them that Frank James was not mixed up in this affair, although they admit the job was done up in the James ooys' style, and the opinion was hazarded that robbers might possibly be some of those who had sat at the knees of the famous leaders. It is claimed that Frank is not in the neighborhood, however. There is plenty of tall timber near Brookfield and it is not thought likely the gang will be captured." Datlea on Silver Repealed In Mexico. Washington, June 8. The Mexican Minister received official information from tbe Department of State, in Mexico, to the effect that the Mexican Congress repealed export duty on silver coin and silver bullion, which has been in existence since the Spanish rule and which was one of the principal drawbacks to the development of mining industries of that country.

Trouble Anticipated at Chicago Among the frtrikiog Borsethoer The Urlckmakera Co oi promise No Change at Pittsburg. Chicago, June 8. Some trouble is antici pated because of the serious interference threatened and In a few cases actually offered by the striking horseshoers against those who refuse to join their Union. The Union officers pay the workmen $10 a week to stop. Many of .them have accepted the offer, but employers find no difficulty in filling their p'aces. The bnckmakers are once more at work, and a tour among the yards this afternoon reveals the fact that they are all running in good order at a compromise of 12i cents per day advance in wages. Pittsburg, June 8. There are no indica tions as yet tnat the action of manufac turers at the meeting yesterday in reserving u resisi grauung any aavance whatever over the present scale of wages, will soon cause any material change in the iron situ ation.

McDonald, of the St. Louis Iron nH Ril Company, who was the only manufacturer who voted no to the resolution last nicht said this afternoon that for unanimity of action and determination to take a stand for their mutual protection, he had never expected to see the iron men of of this coun try as lie saw them yesterday. "I was the only man in the meeting who did not sign the Constitution of the new Association, and the reason I declined wa9 that at my mill the circumstances just now are peculiar. I explained, my position fully and satisfactorily to th meeting. In spite of all that has been said to the contrary, the Pittsburg -manufacturers are an absolute unit in the determination to resist the demand for an advance and to combine for protection in the future. The question of employing union or non-union did not come up at alL The plau in general adopted seeks to provide measures which will relieve mills oppressed by strike and to make a common cause against an unjust demand by labor." Another meeting of the new-created Association will be held in July, the exact date not being fixed. The coaF' troubles are quiet The operators are taking matters quite easy, while the miners are making pniparations for their summer camp, near McDonald's.
