G STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY. CITY AND DISTRICT. TALL STORIES FROM WASHINGTON A Man From Aberdeen Discourses About His New-Fledged State. Hon. J. B. Maling, president of the board of trade of Aberdeen City, state of Washington, bas just arrived in town to help represent the Pacific coast before the committees on rivers and harbors and on commerce. “This is just what I've been looking for,” he remarked as he sauntered into the lobby from the dining rogm of his hotel. “What is?” asked a Sran reporter. “Why, « place where you can get dinner at 6 e’clock and s !unch before going to bed. I feel now as if I had not lived altogether in vain. And music by the band, pretty. too, a fine selection with every course. Yes, life here is very pleasant. Butain’t she a beauty?” - h one?” queried the reporter, who had goticed as number of such creatures pase into the parlor. “Washington, of course. She’s the ‘itiest ity in the world, the Tg of the republic and altogether lovely. T! whole country feels id of this magnificent city. and Gov. Shep- Fora began the foundation of it all. In the words of Longfellow, ‘We know what master [sid its keel, and are glad to see her sail on.” “Some way your town scems familiar,” sug- gested the reporter; “was it named since Mis sissippi aenaeut her winter stock of effigies?” “Not quite so new as that. It 1s now four and a half years old, and we have 2,000 popula- | tion where in "85 there was nothing but a boundless forest and an unlimited out doors.” “And now you want an sppropriation?” “¥es, Aberdeen is at the licad of navigation | on Gray's harbor—one of the best on the coast—which is in brief» bay 30 miles across with an outlet a mile wide into the ocean. We * are 30 or 40 miles west from Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle. and will soon be connected with them by rail, but from the time a vessel from San Francisco passes our entrance till she gets around to those points by the occan, strait and sound she has sailed 350 miles. Aberdeen, you see, is the commercial short stop. We shipped 100,000,000 feet of lumber and received about 75,000 tons of freight last year, and have never had a cent—haven't even gota hght house at ihe entrance. BOW SENATOR PUGH WAS ASTONISHED. “Speaking of our resources,” he continued, “recalls a good story on Senator Pugh. When he was at Tacoma last summer with Senator Hoar’s committee on relations with Canada he ta little dry, and while the gentleman from jassachusetts was reflecting on the Chinese question Mr. Pugh stepped into the bar room for a mint julep. The bar tender prepared the hhquid and then birgay o the window plucked some growing mint to flavor and garnish the draught. The Aisbama statesman had been a silent but interested spectator up to this point, | when, being suddenly overcome as with a flood of light and joy, he exclaimed, ‘My God, the resources of this country! Mint grows within | reach of the bar!” | “Aren't you folks given to magnifying j facts?” | “It would be hard work to magnify a tree | thirty feet in diameter, and yet we grow that | sort of saplings. But your Guestion reminds | me of another incident. Five of us were on a | stage—we have one railroad building to town | and fourteen incorporated, with Gray's harbor | as their objective point. One of the passengers | was an Englishman, who was not familiar with | Western dimensions, and his repeated declara- | tions that all men ont there were liars gave in- | terest to the overland journey. Finally the driver told of something that had happened | thirty years before, and the Englishman in- quired how long he had lived there. ‘Oh. was born here,” he replied. -Well, if these | i | that have been here but two years can lie 40, | what an awful liar you must re.’ “The state lost twenty millio: fires in her cities, but soon recupcrated. One good thing, fires never run through our forests, This is due to the clay formation aud to the | moisture from the ocean driven in by the . being born last season by winds. “How big are your towns?” ‘Seattle has about 35,000 people, Tacoma, I should sey, 25,000, Spokane Falls 23,000 and Olympia 5,000. HIS HEART STILL TRUE TO MAINE. “You are so proud of your adopted state of Washington. have you entirely forgotten your Rative state of Maine?” “Well, now, not hardly, young man. Again I must illustrate my feelings with a story. Hon. Llewellyn J. Powers, now of Boston, but formerly a Representative from Maine in Con- gress. and Judge Beatty. once of New York, but | now of Spokane Falls, met list r in Taco In the course of a very interesting. perhap: might say an enthusiastic, reunion. the j remarked that so many people were c west from the old pine tree state that itseemed as if she would soon have but one member in the House. “*‘Well,” retorted Mr. Powers, ‘if it comes to that he'll be the leacer.’” S ——— OLD-TIME TOASTS Read Before the Washington Monument | Society.

Gen, Miles took sion, too, to appear before the committees last Saturday to oppose the removal of the Indians and to make a review of his campaign, over which there is a bitter controversy between him and Gen, Crook. who was his predecessor in command of the Indian campaign, Gen, Miles } und the petitioners opposed tie removal of the Indians on the grounds—tirst, that Fort Sill was not healthy; secondly, that Fort Sill was so neer the old hannis of Geronimo and his band that they could escape to the moun- tains of Arizona and New Mexico, and third. even if the Indians hud no desire to es- cape, the mere tact that the people were afraid of them would be an injury to that section of the country. Atthe time of Ger@himo’s sur- | render Gen. Miles was anxious that these In- dians shoutd be sent to Indian territory and strongly recommended it, but now that Gen. Crook wants them sent there he opposes it strenuously. ‘ihe iceling between these two Warriors is such that they cannot agree on any subject. GEN. CROOK'S RECOMMENDATIONS. Yesterday Lieut. L. W. V. Kennon. who was in the Indian campaign with Gen. Crook and is a member of his staff, appenred before the commitice to answer the objections advanced by Gen. Miles and the petitioners to the re- Mmoval of the Indians, ‘The position taken by the department and by Lieut. Kennon in his statement to the comtittee is that the whole tribe of Chiricahua Apaches, who have given no sort of trouble since their first surrender to Gen. Crook in 1883, and the scouts who did efficient service in securmg the capture of Natchez and Geronimo are suffering for the nuisdeeds of the two latter and their small band. They think the removal of the entire tribe is a matter of mere humanity and justice, besides being good polic: Lieut. Kennon answered the first objection that Fort Sill was not healthy by showing that though Fort Sill might be subject to mala intluences on account of being on the low he by the river, there was no room to dispute the ithfulness of the high lanasin that vicinity, e it wus proposed to put the Indians. He also prodneed a repcrt on the general health at Fort sill showing that the death rate there was very low and that it was healthy. As to the second objection he said there could be no possible danger of the Indians escaping to ir old haunts in Arizona and New Mexico, even if they were inclined to do so, as they would have to travel for about seven hundredl mules over 2 desert pliin, where, being moun- tain Indians, they would be at a disadvantage, and they could easily be captured by the troops. ‘They would have to pass through a line of troops, four thousand of them, who had the advantae of fatuiliarity with that sort of country, and in addition had railroad facilities for getting akead of any fugitives and cutting them off. The idea of their being xbie to make their eseape he said was too absurd to con- sider. THE CONDITIONS OF THAT SURRENDER. There has been a deal of controversy over the terms of the surrender of Geronimo and his little band to Gen. Miles. Gen. Miles has given it to be understood that the surrender was un- conditional, as the department had directed it have commemorated, each at its appropriate place and each with its appropriate exercises, the chief steps in the founding of the republic. The past history of any people is largely the strength and the true wealth of that people, and these successive celebrations have had an inflaence for good that it is scarcely possible to overrate. Coming soon after the reget ofa igantie civil wi when the feeling of sec- Seaal hostility still rankled in the hearts of the combatants, were especialiy timely and wholesome, becanse they turned both sides from nursing their estrangement to the rever- ent and enthusiastic celebration of deeds and of men whose glory and whose achievements were the common and the equal inheritance of jall. They restored, as nothing else could have restored, the just historic perspective, and, happily recalling the immense contribution of the vanquished states to the fabric of our freedom, they tempered and chastened the pride of the one section while they rekindled the national patriotism and exalted the sense of citizenship of the other. IT 18 FOR MANKIND. The event we now propose to celebrate is of a different order. Itisin no sense our own | peculiar or national possession. We share the | glories that cluster about it and the beneficent iniluences that flow from it with allthe nations | of the new world and with some of the nations of the old world. It is not an epoch in the his- tory of the United States, it is not an epoch in the history of America, it isa great and unsur- passed epoch in the history of mankind. No nation has as yet attempted to celebrate 80 eap- ital an event in human iustory as this, It de- mands, therefore, either that we shall pass it | by in decent silence or that we shall observe it | mumanner and upon a scale commensurate | w:th its historic dignity. x We do not rise to that dignity, Mr. Speaker, if we seek to give to the commercial idea the sole or the chief prominence. ‘he greatest } things which the new world offers to the old are not the things that we sce; uot our teeming | population, swarming from sea to sea; not our | agriculture or commerce or manufactures or arts or inventions; not our chief city | on the eastern seaboard, whose crowded | streets I trod a few months sinc returning from a foreign land, with tthe affection I feel for the paths of my e home; not the rival queens of the Mississippi valley; not our railrozds or any of the items of our material wealth, abundant as it may be and constantly gushing forth from new and unsuspected fountains, All these we share with the other great nations of the earth, though, perhaps, we outstrip them from our happier environment, ' To all these let us give ample and fitting display; but greater fruits than. these can the new world offer to the old. We offer them, sir, for the first time in human history. the spectacle of a great nation, if not already, des- tined soon to become, the greatest of all nations, built upon the corner stone of equal citizenship, a people of freemen; free speech | and free press; where property is safe and order is preserved, not under the menace of power and by standing armies, but by the appy and indissoluble union of order with liberty; aland where religion and the blessed charities it fosters flourish in unwonted vigor, | not buttressed by a church establishment, but | must be, at the time of the surrender neither the President nor the Secretary of War could get any definite statement from’ him on the subject and it was claimed by the Indians and others participating that there were condi- tious. which were that the iives of the hostiles should be spared, that no harm should come to them on account of their past offenses and that they should be restored to their tribe and rele- Lieut. Kennon spoke on this subject and gave a history of the Indian campaign calculated to detract from the glory of Gen, Miles’ campaign. He also pointed out to the committee the in- justice that had been done to the peaceable In- dians and to the scouts im particular. CROOK'S CAMPAIGN, He said that in 1833 the Chiricahua Apaches were in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. At that time they numbered six hundred and were the wildest and most age Indians of the continent. in that year Gen, Crook pene- trated their stronghold and brought them in as surrendered prisouers of war and placed them on a reservation in Arizona. There they were given farms aud were taught to cultivate the soil. ‘Their progress was remarkable for a people submitting to control tor the first time im their tribal his’ In the spring of 1°85 ocenrred the outbreak of Natchez, Mangns and Geronimo, who fied back to Mexico with their followers, numbering about one hundred and thirty-tour men, women and children. The rest of the band, over four hundred and fifty, remained in the reservation in spite of all the efforts of their relatives to induce them to leave.

In a word, we must make it an exposition not only of our agriculture, our manufactures, our commerce, of the arts of war and peace, of | science, invention and the liberal arts, but of | education, of social economy, of national, state and municipal goverument, of history and literature. of our freedom in all its mani- ions of the abounding fruits of our un- | consirained philanthropy and of our free and untrammeled religion, And such an exposition, Mr. Speaker, I need hard argue, cannot be committed to any municipality of this country, however great it may be, or to the control of any private cor- poration, no matter how excellent the indi-| viduals that compose it, It can be fittingly exrried on oniy under the auspices of the gr est and the freest nation of the western world and by that national government which is the instrumentality by which we secure fo our- | selves these especial blessings. {Appts 1 Any other patronage would full low the historic diguity of the event.

The Record of a Noted Criminal Pre- pared by a Secret Service Uperator. Among the curiosities encased in the offices of the secrét service division of the Treasury are two villainous-looking weapons, one a 45- caliber revolver, 12 inches loug, silver plated but ugly. The other is a plain-looking article that resembles a metal meat skewer fitted to round handle, very sharp, but with the point Protected by a bit of cork. These tools once belonged to one of the most desperate charac- ters with whom the secret service has ever had to deal, and that is saying about as much ascan Possibly be confined within the limits of polite English. His name is Gaetano Russo, am Italian who is now confined in the Buffaio jail, serving out a twelve-vear sentence for counterfeiting. The photographs now in the possession of the service show him to be a Villainous looking ercature, with a moustache sumetimes curled out bravely, sometimes drooping dejectedly. His left eye is gone— gouged out in a fight—and replaced by a glass orb that adds to the generally diabolical effect of the countenance. At the time these pic- tures were taken Russo was forty-seven years old, and he is now about fifty. MR. BROOKS’ ACCOUNT OF RUSSO. Russo's case having recently been brought up again Mr. John P. Brooks, special operator of the service for the New York district, wrote a letter to Chief Bell a few days ago, in which he gave some interesting facts concerning the history of this noted criminal, ouknow,” he wrote, “our records show this man to be one of the most desperate of men, and guilty of all classes of crimes.” “The he wus sentenced to the Orleans, La., for life, for the crime of ‘arson,” and was subsequently pardoned, In March, 1878, he was convicted of ‘murder’ in Chicago, Il, After his arrest for this crime he escaped, Was re-arrested by the New Orlcans police and taken to Chicago for trial, About 1844 or early m 1885 he, wi ith two companions, entered the store of Giovarni Guarino in New York city, seized Guarino by the neck, er daggers to his throat, and demanded his life or 2500; Guarino gave them $200 and they left. Russo was arrested in New York about September, 1885, charged with ‘attempted assassination of a countryman’ named Colondrino, The latter refusing to appear against him, Russo was discharged. On this occasion Kusso handed Colondrino a glass of beer to drink, and while he was drinking, cut him from edge of hair down through center of forehead, nose, upper and lower Rp, the knife coming out at chin. Russo was again arrested Junuary 21, 1887. at Cheivea. Mass., for “manufacturing counterfeit 1 silver coins,” convicted aud sen- | tenced April 13, 1887, to six months in Cam- bridge, Mass., jail, At the time of Chelsea's arrest there was found a most complete outfit nitentiary in New a large quantity of mixed metal and antimony, the jinest set of irom mouid frames and other arrangement#ifor making moulds that I have ever seen, On the discharge of Russo—and his wife—at the expiration ot their term of im- prisonment, in the fall of 1887, they left Boston ve it out that they were bound for Cali- fornia, but in fact went to London, England, and joined a crooked Italian engraver. Kusso’s wife being conversant with the Freuch language they deemed it best to go to Paris. France. and not to undertake any crooked work in London, AT WORK IN PARIS, “The two Russos’ and the engraver went to Paris, hired a house in the suburbs of that city, using the woman as an interpreter as well as an agent, to purchase necessary articles. On the 10th day of December, 1887, work on the plates was commenced. They were first photographed on boxwood and then engraved, which took four months’ time. Thirty thou- sand dollars were printed. They purchased a printing press for 350 francs, and after using it about a month, returned it to the parties who sold it to them, saying it did not work well. They were charged 9 francs for the use of it. In June, 1883. they left Paris. Mrs, Russo was the money to London. She purchased a num- ber of yards of gingham, made a skirt fitted with pockets, and in that manner carried their money to London. There she refused to go further with it, Russo and the engraver left her in the street without a penny and came to New York, leaving the woman to starve and die, for aught they cared, when a kind-hearted family named Blight took pity on her, gave her a temporary home, and through their interces- sion the American consul at London sent her back, July 4, 1848, to America, and soon after she met her husband and the engraver,” COUNTERFEITS APPEAR, “On or about July 4, 1888, the first counter- feit $5 silver certificate (also known as the Russo or Italian note,) made it appearance in New York city. This was followed soon after by the counterfeit gi silver certificates, aiso known as the Russo or Italian note. We had Russo and his associates under surveillance, but these counterfeit notes were soon in the lands of willing shovers, and the city was tlouded before we had obtained ample evidence against all the combination—for there were many. On August 22 Gaetano and Kosa Russo left their home followed by our age soon after they began to pass counte: silver certificates, Kusso acting as ‘boodle car- aiso receiving the products from the rteit bills, and continued the work until Seventeen stores had been visited, at thirteen they succveded at passing counterfeit ‘ney were allowed to return home bills, when the officers of the secret service, led b, ime. made a raid upon their rooms, and ar- ested itasso and his wife. Upon searching Russo a quautity of these counterreit ones amd tives were found, also about $135 im genuine money. La the roows were found p»per of the same kind and size as that of which the coun- terteit bills were made, a quannty (five sets) res similar to those od the coun- terleit biiis above meutioned and many show- ing biue ink upon them of same shade as pum- bers on bills. There was also found : :nong his effects documentary proof in contirmation of the statement herein before made and other things I will not now mention, At the exami- nation of defeudanis the evidence was so over- whelmiug that they put iu no deicnse; were held for United Staves grand jury, who filed a true bill against both October 9, 1888, De- fendants pleaded guilty and on October 26, 1858, they were sentenced to terms of imprison- ment, which they are now serving.” TRIALS OF A SHOP KEEPER, Some of the Impositions *to Which a Book Seiler is Commonly Subjected. “The keeper of a book shop is the most im- posed-upon man on this earth,” said a trades- man of that order yesterday, “How so, and why?” asked the Srar writer. “I don’t kuow exactly why. The tact is, though, that the number of pigs who frequent a book seller's place of business seems to be inordinately large. Somehow there does'nt com tu be any limit to their cheek, compared Just for an instance, take the case of a man who has been coming here every day for a good many months past. His custom has been to seek for books of exceptioual value and heip huuseif to them from the shelves, Then he would reguiuriy sit down to read for hours, breaking the backs of new volumes by spread- Were uncut he would open them with his Ojten in doing this he would tear the rinted page fairly in two. We stood this as jong as we could, and the other day be was the establishment, He looked very much sur- prised, took his departure, and I have not seen him since, thauk goodness!” QUITE THY USUAL THING, “Such impudence as that must be rare.’, “Not so very. There are a good many people who habitually make use of my store as if it was a library, coming here to read with- out ever buying anything. One wan makes a practice of sitting here for hours every day, reading whole shelves full of books h aud through and leaving the marks of hii thumbs on the pages.
