President CtTeIat Writes Letter on tb Flnanc!! sitaatioo. In reply to a letter from oGov. Northen, of Georgia, President Cleveland gives his position on financial matters as follows: Executive Mansion, Washington, y. C.f Sept. 25. J -The Hon- W. J. Nor then: My Dear Sir I hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th inst.lt seems to me that I am quite plainly on record concerning the financial question. My letter accepting the nomination to the presidency, when read in connection with the message lately sent to the Congress in extraordinary session, appears to me to be erv explicit. I want a currency that is stable and safe in the bauds of our people 1 will not knowingly Ik implicated in a condition that will Justly make me in the least degree answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United States for a shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has received for a full dollar's worth of work or for a rood dollar's worth of product of his soil. I not only want our currency to be of such a character that all kinds of dollars will be of equal purchasing power at home, but I want it to be of such a character as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing us noon a firm foundation and credit among "tin nations of the earth. I want our financial conditions and laws rotating to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in business and new enterprises instead of hoarding it You cannot cure tright by calling It foolish and unreasonably and you cannot prevent the frigbtend man from hoarding his money. I want good, sound and stable money, and a condition of confidence that will keep it in use. Within the limits of what 1 have written, I am a friend of silver, but 1 believe its proper place In our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our currency legislation and the Inauguration of a consistent and comprehensive financial scheme.' I think such a thing can only be entered upon profitably and hopefully after the repeal of the law which is charged with all onr financial woes. In the present state of the public mind this law cannot be built upon nor patched In such a way as to relieve the stagnation. I am, therefore, opposed to the free and oniimfted coinage of silver by this country alone and independently, and I am in favor of the Immediate and unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the socalled Hherman law. I confess 1 am astonished by the opposition in the Senate to such prompt action as would relieve the present unfortunate situation. My daily prayer is that tho delay occa stoned by snch opposition may not be the cause of plunging the country into dee pet depression than It has yet known, ant that the Democratic party may not b lastly neld responsible for such a catastrophe. Yours, venrAruly.

A MANIACTS DEED.

Frightful Tragedy in tho Chicago

Board of Trade. A Lunatic Fatally Wounds Two Mn Fired Five Timet From the Gallery. A. fusillade of bullets was fired into the wheat pit on the Chicago Hoard of Trade, Wednesday. Instantly business was bronght to a standstill and the wildest excitement ensued. M. F. Bennett, a broker, received a frightful wound in the neck. Charles Roswell, a telegraph operator, was shot in the leg. The perpetrator was quickly overpowered and taken into the office of the secretary of the board. It was reported among the excited throngs on the floor and the crowds that gathered outside the building that the prisoner was a maniac. The individual who did the shooting was a stranger who gained access to the gallery a few moments before noon. Lie fired at random into the throng of speculators, fortunately only injuring two persons. Mr. M. F. Bennett, secretary of the Board of Trade Mutual Benefit Association, and a prominent member of the board, will die from his injuries, and little hopes are given for the recovery of C. W. Kasswell, oue of the telegraph operators. The man who did the shooting fired his revolver five times, lie stood up at the rear end of the gallery and fired twice at the wall, and then pointing tho weapon down at the floor fired three more times. Bennett fell mortally wounded and was carried into the secretary's room whil physicians were sent for. Thomas Barrett, a member of the board, captured the man and handed him over to the police. The man was evidently a lunatic, lie is a stout man of middle age, poorly dressed, and for a time refused to give any name but "Chicago.1 Subsequently he gave the name of Cassius Belden, of 505 La Salle avenue. Business was completely snspened. As soon as the physicians arrived they pronounced Bennett fatally shot Streams of blood flowed from the unfor nate man's neck and a gaping wound presented itself. Bennett lay on the table gasping for breath and the end was momentarily expected. Roswell was picked up senseless and laid on a table. The hall entered his chin on the left side and

ranged downward. "I want to talk to a reporter." said ths prisoner to Police Lieutenant Golden, as

he was led downstairs in the Harrison street police station. "My name is Cassius Beldin. I am a carriage painter, and live at 265 La Salle avenue. I'vo been under hypnotic influence for three years. Three years ago a man named Jones hypnotized me at 229 Huron streot. Hypnotism i slow, and it has only been a short time since I reached the exalted state. I was in the vulgar state for a long time. I have visited the Board of Trade frequently. I knew I was in bondage. It has been struggle for bread with all of nv but when they began to sell my soul in the Board ot Trade, to-day, I resisted. Before they sold my sou! they sold my two children, who are In Philadelphia. I have a wif in Philadelphia, besides two children. We are all in bondage. It is a struggle for bread." Mr. Barrett, who captured the madman singlehanded. is the hero of the hour, but disclaims any special bravery. STATEHOOD FOR TKKRlMlEi Bills to Admit SMy Them Xw 71 a1co'a Many fieouree. It (s probablo that committer on Territories w ill report a bill for the admission of Utah to Statehood withir. few days, Mr. Joseph, a member of that committee, said that the bill would be reported, and added that before the close ot the present session bills for the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma would be reported favorably from hi? committee. He also expressed great confidence that all four of tho bills wouUl become laws. Referring to New Mexico, from which territory ho ha? been a delegate to Congress for the last ten years, Mr. Joseph said: "There !s not a Stare or Territory in the United States that has so many or so rich and valuable mineral resources as New Mcx'co, or that can successfully compete with her in tho quality of her fruits or grains. Wo have silver, iron, copper and coal in inexhaust

ible quantities, while tho copper ore ci ntains enough gold to pay for the mining and transportation of the who.e, and the gold quartz also contains a good pioportion of silver as well. Then, in addition to an unlimited supply of bituxinoua and anthracite coal, we havo v hue mountains of natural colce, something that is to be found nowhere else In the country. At the World's Fair we have recently beaten even California, not In the quantity but in the quality, of o::r fruit, while we have carried oft first premiums against the world at the same Fair oi: our wheat and oats. All we now need is Statehood."

The burg lars were discovered in Lyon s .store about 4 o'clock in -he morning by the niglu watchman, and he attempted to arrest them.

Loud and prolonged cheers.)

I'rt-sident Cleveland was the object of a prolonged personal attack in the Senate, Monday, on the part of Senator Stewart. Mr. Stewart spoke for nearly three hours on the resolution which he had offered as to the relative independence of the threo branches of the jrovernment. That inde

pendence he charged tho President with

disregarding In not causiuff the silver purchase law and tho Chinese exclusion law to be faithfully executed. Hut worso even than the non-execution of these laws appeared to he, in Mr. Stewart's opinion, wore the contemptuous allusions to Conpress, which he found n some of Mr, Cleveland's letters and interviews, ilo was particularly embittered by the President's ailuion:, in one of his letters, that "he had Congress on his hands This was tvn indignity beyond endurance. And then, in retaliation, the Nevada Senator scoiTed at the President

for his want of collegiate or any other liberal education that would fit him for his high office. He read the President's brief biography in the Congressional Directorylaying much stress on and seeking to extract humor from the points of Mr. Cleveland's career as an assistant teacher to the blind, clerk, sheriff, mavor and practicing lawver. Mr. Stewart spoke until 10 o'clock, and the repeal bill was then laid before the Senate as unfinished business. Mr. Stewart asked permission to go on and no objection being mad) he proceeded until he was interrupted by Senator Hoar for disrespectful remarks concerning Edward Atkinson, whom Mr. Stewart denounced as a financial crank. Mr. Hoar said that Mr Atkinson was one of his constituents and absolutely trustworthy as a scatistican. Mr. Stewart then yielded the floor to Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who said our manufacturers might tlourish on low stiver and a high tariff but must parish on gold and low tariff. He proposed a gold loan of so many hundred million dollars as Congress may decide, to be bought at the market rate, and held in the treasury as the gold reserve is held in the Hank of France and by the governments of the Latin Union; to open our mints to the free coinage of American silver, in imposing a duty on tho Imports of foreign silver; to repeal the tax on State bank circulation; also press once, more for action in favor of our shipping; to meet, in part, the deficit of our incomo for next year by reimposing the duty of two cents a pound on sugar, and repeal the tiounty. Then would wait a year iu see how the system worked, and how far wo were affected by foreign influence. Mr. Stewart then resumed his attack on the inferior lability of the President, and held that he was utterly unfit and incapable of tilling the presidential office. Finally he yielded the floor, and after a brief executive session the Senate adjourned. In the House, Monday, tho time was principally consumed in the. consideration of the printing bill. Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, made an assault on Commissioner Lochren. Jn ;he Senate, Tuesday, Mr. Stewart held that no quorum was present and questioned the propriety of the Senate proceeding. Senator Harris presided, and ordered a roll call. But thirty-five members responded. A stay of proceedings was necessary until a quorum arrived. Mr. Stewart then presented resolutions adopted by a Cleveland mass meeting de-

acting on information received from eavesdroppers. Ail tho vitality was drawn out of the proceedings in the House Wednesday, by a weary throe-hour filibuster Inaugurated by Mr. Morse of Massachusetts because the Hous refused to allow him to print in the Congressional Record some editorial comments attacking Commissioner of 1'ensions Lochren. IN A TRAP. Train Robbers Caught and Shot Down.

A "Dummy" Train Sent Oat no thm Tl

of Kegulr Fxprmi Draws thm Kxpecteil Attack, Six would-lm train robbers were caught in a trap at St. Joseph, Mo.t Monday morning. Two of thorn wore killed, three captured and one escaped. The Kansas City, St. J 00 tfc Council Bluffs road was the Intended victim. A dummy train was snt ahead, and when the - express messenger wa ordered to open his car, he did so. The officers then opened firo upon the robbers. The attempted robbery occurred on tbe southbound train on the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Hiuffs road, which was stopped by sis men at Schutzen Park, one mile and a half north of St. Joseph. The men who were killed went Fred Kohler and Hugo Engle, step-son of Harry Gleitz, proprietor of the Occidental Hotel. The man who escaped is supposed to be Henry (rleitftt & brother of the 3ian who was killed. Three other men, N. A; Hearst, Charles Fredericks and William Oarver, were captured, but they were decoys and were not directly connected with the attempted robbery.' The o's of the road have known for some time that an attempt would be made to rob the train, and preparations were made to capture them. Detective P. H Locke first received information about tho proposed robbery, Aug. 11, and he has been in constant communication with tha railway officials since then. The regular train on the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs road left the Union Depot at 11:40 o'clock, Sunday night. Mr. Hrown got word early In th evening that Sunday night was the ttfiw fixed upon for the robbery, and his first intention was to send out the regular train and place the officers on it. He decided later that it would be unsafe to risk the passengers in a battle with the robbers, and accordingly instructed Superintendent Hohl to make up a "dummy" special and run it on the time of the regular train No. X This 'dummy" consisted a mail car, express car and six coaches, the two latter darkened to represent the appearance of sleepers. Engineer Lee Wright and fireman Victor Wise were in the cab and conductor John Hardenstein had charge of tho train. In the mail car were Sheriff Carson. Deputy Brown and a number of policov In the 6i press car wer Chief Broder and a portion of his fore while the rest of his officers were scat tered through the other cars. Engineer Callicote was pressed into service as an express man. He wore overalls, and an empty safe and some empty boxes were put in his car to give u the appliance f ac express car.

Open up or we will kill you." Four of the men leaped into the car, the other two remaining outside. One of these was Henry Gleitz and the other was Fredericks.

Engle leaped from the car and ran for the brush on the cast side of the train, from where he continued to shoot until discovered. Kohler, whose job was to stand outside and keep tho passengers from coming out of the car, was on the east side of the train also, and he poured a deadly fire into the express car and coaches.

Of course I accept the disclaimer of the Senator," said Mr. Gorman, 'but I venture to say that no man who can read the Knglish language and understand It would have drawn any other conclusion from his remarks." An acrimonious debate ensued between Messrs. Wolcott and Oorman. Incidentally Mr. Gorman accused Mr. Wolcott of eavesdropping, or rather of
