THE CHICAGU THRIBU SUNDAY, NOVEMBER’ 6, 1881— e TWENTY PAGK ulations to the foreign merchants, and stated jts readiness to do business in silk, and TO LISTEN.TO ANY SUGGESTIONS, from the foreign silk merchants of Yoko- hama. These gentlemen, however, did not meet the new movement in a friendly spirit, put, fullowing in the footsteps of their pro- tests, the foreign merchants held public, meetings, at which it was resolved to do no business with the Japanese Silk Company, either collectively or individually, This de- cision: Was communicated to the’ company with a statement of the reasons which prompted the action. Copies of the state- ment were also translated into Japanese and widely scattered through the interior of the country. Early ih October the Japanese Company replied to this manifesto, and thus . the ease now stands in deadlock. The for eign merchants refuse to buy silk, and the Japanese are unwilling to sell except for cash on delivery, after inspection in their own warehouses. The result of the for- eigners’ appeal to the producers in the.in- terior was to cause great excitement among all classes against foreisners. THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN now Jook upon the foreign merchants in the light of enemies to “their country. “This hostile feeling is aggravated by the tone of the foreign journals of Yokohama, arid of many of the inerchants there, who speak of. the Japanese in the most opprobrious lan- ‘There are several foreign merchants fur whom the Japanese have great respect, and these gentlemen express the more minderate views which, it is hoped, willprevail in theend. At present, however, the foreign combination is in the hands of extremists, Who oppose any compromise in the most violent manner. The leading spir- its among the foreigners are English, 1tal- ian, and German, who control most of the foreign silk trade. ‘The Japanese, however, feel that in this matter. the foreigners com- plain against national interests, and the nat- ural effect is a feeling of indiscriminate hos- tility against the foreigners. How far this will extend cannot, of course, be prophesied; but, if the reports which reach here are not exaggerated, there is at presenta imore un- friendly feeling between the Japanese and foreigners than has existed fur many years. : STAR ROUTES. WHAT THEY SAY OF MACVEAGH. ‘Special Disvatch to The Chicavo Tribune. Wasutnerox, D.C, Phe Critic has the following talk with an official of the Departinent of Justice: “For the shut time he was up there he snecevded in getting things remarkably con- fused.” “What was the matter?” “He had no idea of how the department should be manaxed, He wanted to run it as alawyer would run his- office, carrying his papers in his hat. lf you talked to him about em, it was *Oh, System! phsaw??

The Nativnal Republican: has discovered a new reason for the delay in the star-route cases. It says that delays are dangerous— but in this case they are profitable. It add: “Cook, the principa! leading special counsel for he Government, got a retainer of $2,500 and gets $100 daily until the trials are ended. Of course, uader the circumstances, he is in no special hurry to have the trial end.” THE At 3s STAR-ROUTE PRE- To the Western associated Press. Wasmineton, D. C., Nov. 5.-Col.

The conspiracy alleged in this case did not contain the elements out of which conspiracy could be constructed. Allthe acts complained of could. have been done as well by Brady alone as with others, and, if done by Brady alone, would not have Congress had given Brady adiscretion, and had give to this court no authority to review his action, If Brady could be brought here and: held to explain everything that he had done, and consigned to prison, then, of course, the Postmaster- General could also be brought in and be com. pelled to give an explanation of his action; Decause it was claimed that Brady had done adeed of heinous wrong by virtue of finding himself in possession of the power of the Postinaster-General.

C., Nov. the failure of the Newark National Bank edly cause considerable discuss! ress as to the safeguards which the existing Jaw furnishes to protect depositors and stock- holders. One of the recommendations likely tobe made is that Bank Directors shall be compelled-to be present at the Goyernment examination, anu that, in case they shall ap- prove of the securities whieh the Cashier de- livers to the Bank Examiner for inspection, they shall be held criminally responsible if the Cashier has forged the cullaterals or has embezzled the funds. It is known that, iu @. number of cases of _Nanunal bank failures, liad the Directors themselves heard the explanation given by the Cashier to the Bank Examiner as to the character of collat- erals, frauds would have been instantly de- tected which were not afterwards detected pa years. In the large failure a year or two IN VERMONT, where the Cashier held so many forged col- laterals, it is known that, had the President of the bank been present at_ the Government examination, tne frauds of the Cashier would have been discovered. - In other words, itis very possible. that Congress will be asked to “incorporate in the National Banking act some of the stringent penal provisions of the Scotch and English law with regard to the responsibil- ity of Directors. Congressmen who are here believe that the appointment of Bunk E. aminers ought to be more removed for puli ties than itis. Ltis well known that many of the Bank Examiners who have been ap- pointed in’ times past through’ political in- fluence were quite incompetent. ‘This is one of the greatest difficulties that CONTROLLER KNOX * has encountered in the Administration -of the National Banking act. He has been too often compelled to. take -such persons for Examiners: asthe — poli- ticians would permit him to: have. There never, however, has been but one case where a Bank Examiner was’ detected in doubiful transnctions, That was the noted case of Coleman, whose relations to the Ovean National Bank of New York have been the subject of so many investigation It remains to be seen whether any of the Congressmen will take the imtiative in the matter of removing Uie office of Bank Ex- aminer from politi GOLSE HIS FULL PARDON, Special Disvates to The Chicago Tribune.

In these examinations there was always a fixity of standard which was adhered to throughout.. Judge Folger came in when the papers of the candidates were being exatnined.

Ile was an Mnusually bright: and intelligent Polish Jew, not long in. this country. He Yet at Cedar Rapids, a year ago, a very handsome widow, named Mrs. Loering, who had a good-sized fortune, and for «whom Stein formed a deep and genuitre infatuation. Je married the woman and settled in this city, to which his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hess, also removed, and then the touble began. The mother-in-law disliked Stein, and Mrs. Stein, who had-not led her turmer husband a happy life, combined to make it unpledsant for Stein, and he fell to drinking and 3 RAN A DISGRACEFUL SALOON. Finally his wife left him. and a few weeks later he threw the city into a whirl of ex- citement by-trying to abduct her. Mrs. Stein applied for a divoree, and Stein was run “out of town by the officers. He returned to the city a few days ago, and this imorning ended the entiretrouble. About 9o’clock this worn- ing Dr. Shroder drove up to the brewery of Mr. Simon Hotz, his object being to dre Mr. Hotz’s burns, received iu the late fire at his residence. Dr. Lytle, his partner, was already with Mr. Hotz. As he was tying his’ horses .on Linn ~ street, — near the .eorner, he ‘heard ~ screams, «nd, turning — quick! saw Mrs: Hess fleeing from the louse occupied by herself and Mrs. Stein across the street, and could distinetly see the blood running from A GASIL IN HER TIMKOAT, The Doctor ran over to her, and, stopping her, drew the flaps of the wound together with his fingers to keep her rom bleeding to death, whuewith the other hand he drew his handkerchief from his pocket and bound upthe wound. Quite a little crowd had al- ready collected, and some one said, ‘He {referring to Stein] is in, there,’ at the same time poiating to the house. Dr. ~Shrader put Mrs. Tess into the charge of some of those who were present, and she was taken into the residence of Mr. Bashnagle. where she now lies. ‘The Doctor then entered Mrs. Stein’s house. Just as he entered the front door Stein came out through an opposit door opening into a room in the rear with Volver in his hand, toward. the Doctor, and at the aid: “ts all over now.”?

Dr. Lytle,: who had been with Mr. Helz, arrived upon the scene with bandages, ete., but it was then too late, and Stein, him- self had suddenly fallen in the front room. As he had a pistod in his hand the impression gained ground that he had shot himself, but an examination revealed “the fact that he must liave taken . poison, and life had been profonged just sufiiciently to allow him to commit the deed before it took effect, and HE FELD DEAD.

Ilis words, uttered when he attempsed to abduct his wife, to the etfect that he would not live without her, are now remembered. Everything points to the conclusion that Stein went to the house with the intention of committing murder. ‘The horror of the deed threw achill over, the entire city, and the Femembrance of it will not pass away for many years.

Ship- ments. ‘ Indications Point to a Harmony of Interest Between Vanderbilt and Gould: Farther..Gossip About the Fast Train Over the Lake Shore. The Millionaires Further Exhibit Their - Contempt for the Ohio Judge. But’ Little New Basinexs Going For- Ward at the New Rates—Vanderbilvs Object in Continuing the Present War, * Itis becoming quite-evident that the ad- vance in cast-bound freight rates to.the basis of 20 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York, cannot be maintained, and. that before many days have passed easi-bound freight rates will again take a tumble. Very little new business has thus far been shipped at the new rates, although the blockades on mos: of the rords have -bven removed, and several of them have plenty of cars. Most of the business taken during the past weeks was such as had been contracted be- fore the new rates, end as the old contracts will nardly fast longer than the end of this. mouth the railroads will either be compelled j to reduce the rates again by that time or they will have to be content wiih a very Last week’s statement of east-bound shipments shows falling off from the previous week, and here- after, if. the present rates are kept up, the decrease-in business will be- come more serious from weék to week. That the ‘shipments to Eastern seaboard points are so light at present, is not at- tributed by the roads to the advance in rates inden week ago, but they claim that It is due to the fact that there isno demand in the East for grain or provisions. Even ad- mitting this to be true, it shows that the present freight ‘rates are higher than the prices of grain and provisions will warrant, and that shippers cannot pay the additional freight. without losing money. A 20-cent rate on grain: from Chicago to New York wonkl not be too high under ordinary cireumstances,. and it would leave but a very: smail margin of profit to the roads. Lut when the prices in the East and Europe are Jower or as low correspondingly us they are in the West, freight rates must be made very low, even if it be a losing rate, t induce business to go forward, ‘The best prov that the present rates cantot be main- tained, if the railroads mean to do 2 iderable amount. of ausiness, is furnished by the fact that the lake lines have not been able to advance rates when ure -.railroads . did, although an advance would have been as: desirable to them as to the roads. Vessels made charters fast week for corn to Buffalo at one cent per bushel, while in fornier years at this season of the year they could readily obtain four to five’ cents per bushel. After the close of navigation, which will bein about two weeks at ihe most, the railroads might be able to maintain a 20-cent rate—as the ‘busi- ness which has to go forward is compelled tw take these lines—it they. were united, as_ formerly. But as long the railroads tinue to- beat loggeri: and a independently, thet be such competition among then as it impossible to heep up a uniform raze, aud the roads will take business when they need it, at whatever figure they ean get in The late advance in rates wi experiment, and ind! have become sick of fighting, but no matter how sick they are they cannot stop the fight aslong 2s the easus belli for wht! i war has been coimmenced has not, beet set ued.

The latter justas determinately ist such a demand, and claitn that they could not ike peace ol such terns even if they desired to du so, as the inerehants and shippers at Philadelphia and Baltinore would not stand it, Vander- bilvisne doubt well aware of the fact that the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio people . will not and: cannot — make ace on such terms, and it looks wecidedly if the object. for which he:claims to be contending is not the ong which he means ultimately to gain.
