The government publishes a great va- riety of matter in the course of a year,from presidential messages to a history of dis- eases of the gad fy, and the variety of reading matter has been increased within the past few days by the publication of a real detective story, with diagrams, accord- ing to Gaborlau. This is a history of the sandbagging and robbery of a stamp clerk in the Chicago post oifice one dark night last winter, when the wind was whistling round the corner and the sleet dashing against the windows. The story of the crime and the vain search of two govern- ment sleuths for the criminal are given at great length and in the minutest detail. All of this ts contained in a pamphlet of eleven pages, accompanying a claim of the late postmaster for the amount of the rob- bery, which he was compelled to make good. There are a number of diagrams to illustrate the story. One of thent stows “where the body of the clerk was found,” “the door where Miss Jones came in,” window where the robber escaped,” “the door where the robber entered” and other minute details. Another diagram shows the postal clerk as he stood at his desk, but fails to represent the robber and the sand bag, although everything else, even to Miss Jones’ desk, is portrayed vividiy. Many pages of closely printed type are filled with the history of the efforts of the government sleuths. ‘There were two theories to work upon, writes one of them. “First, that Robinson had robbed himseif and inflicted upou him- self the injuries to cover up his crime, or that some one familiar with the office and with the habits of Mr. Robinson had plan- ned and successfully put into execution the robbery. I calied to my assistance the su- perintendent of the Pinkerton agency of this city, who rendered me every assistance in his power, without cost, to get some clue to the perpetrators of this bold robbery. We have worked upon every plausible the- ory, but have failed to get any clue to lead us on a successful trail.” The outcome of the work on these two theories is reported as follows: “The result of the investigation in this case has convinced me of. two things First, that it was a bona fide robbery; sec- ond, that it was conceived and planned, if not perpetrated, by. some cne perfectly ta- miliar with the workings of that branch of the postal department in this city; but the plan was so well executed that up to the present moment we! have been unable to get a single clue that would fasten upon the guilty party.” So the robbery remains a mystery, and the thrilling story of the two government sleuths goes on file in the annals of Con- gress. THE FIRST 2 or THE KIND. , An American Schooner Held at As- toria, Ore., by the Authorities. The first case to come up under the pro- visions of the findings of the Paris tribunal of arbitration to settlé the Bering’ sea con- troversy between the United States and Great Britain was brought to light at As- toria, Oreg., by the arrival there last Thurs- day of the American schooner Kate and Ann, from Bering waters, having on board 608 sealskins, part of whieh were caught within the closed zone, in the waters covered by the provisions of the tribunal's findings, and included in the proclamation of the President, tssued in persuance of -the same. The captain claims that the sealskins were caught in part prior to May, 1894, and part since that date. Collector Page being in doubt as to the status of the case under the provisions of the proclamation of President Cleveland of April 6, 1894, and the prohibitions contained in it, has asked for instructions from the United States district attorney in the matter, The Kate and Ann was in Alaskan waters at the time the proclamation was promulgated. If the facts are as set out In Collector Page's jetter the vessel will likely be seized and jibeled. a ‘The United States man-of-war Marion, !n the dock at Mare Island, Cal., was dam- eged yesterday by fire to the extent of $2,000.

Historic Men Who Gathered ‘There in Times Gone by—The Newer Enjoyments. Correspondence of The Evening Star, PINEY POINT, August 5, 1804, This famous old resort, “like a friend that is near and better than a brother that ts far off,” has long been the summer Mecca of old Weshingtonians. The sail down the historic Potomac is in itself a treat to the denizen of the heated city. Rich in scenery from {ts rise in the Alleghantes, the broad, bright river increases in interest as it rolls onward to the sea. Its romantic bays (among them St. Clement’a and Breton’s) have been the theme of novelists and poets; its numerous creeks and picturesque inlets, fringed with a wealth of foliage; its long stretches of marine views down by the bay —aii lend a charm to the renowned riv: The old colonial landmarks that once dot- ted the shores of the lower Potomac are fast disappearing, and but Uttle remains save tradition to tell us of the grand old “nalis" that were made famous by courtly dames and chivalric men. Before the days of rapid transit, when the Nghtning express and the “limited” were unknown, and one had to Journey by stage to reach the “springs” and other resorts, the Point was considered more accessible and was the attractive center for the good citizens of Baltimore es well as Waushing- ton; hile many came from Virginia to sweil the throng. What a gathering of old heacs and young hearts there was under {ts hospitable root; what mad-cap revelry was enacted “beneath the glimpses of the moon” along the glittering beach, while up in the ky parlor” the old Virginia gentleman and the gentleman from Maryland “'shiver- ed a friendly lance” at whist, and some- times took a hand at heavier stakes, Here they iished and bathed and bowled and danced—that stately dance which always ended with the old-fashioned Virginia reel. Here they lngered umid the heaith-giving pines and invigorating sea breezes until we lengthening shadows of September sent them unwillingly home. What pleasant memories and bright visions Lie piace re- calls of the days of Auld Lang Syne. Among its guests in the old days were men famous in the halls of Congress, in Mterature. The bar and the bench and the mercantile world were all weil represented at the Point, 1 recall such names as Mathew St. Clair Clark, whose inexhaustibie fund of anec- dote ‘was “wont to keep the table in a roar;” John C. Rives, Jud: Cox, W Lenox, Douglas Wauach, editor “Evening Star; ‘Richard Wallach, ‘Col. Kiley, Ma). Nicholson and a host of other genial spirits, whose presence made one feel tnat it was good to be there. Quaint and primitive in its accommoda- tions and pieasant as was its surroundings, it would not compare favorably with ihe Piney Point of today. The old Point has risen Sphinx-like from its dry sands by the bay and appears as fair as Venus herself When she arose from the sea. The past week has been a gala one here. Mr. Thos. W. Williams, the popular man- ager, gave a bal et poudre to the young people, which afforded great scope in the £ quaint costumes and “smokeless Straw rides, steam launch parties, picnics, progressive eucnre, phantom dances and musicales have added much to the en- Joyment of the guests.

A member of the Wellman polar expedi- tion telegraphs from Tromsoe, Norway, that the Ragnvald Jarl, the steamship which conveyed the explorers to the edge of the ice pack, was crushed on the ic 24 in latitude 80.37 and longitude Capt. Bottolfsen, Wins! jaml, Wastfaldt and Hoyde undertook to journey over the ice, taking with them aliminua boats, in the hope of finding a sealing ship to convey them to Norway. They met the sealer Malygen, Capt. P derson, on July 24, at Rodeborg, after trav- eling 230 miles over the ice and incurring countiess risks and endless suffering. Capt. Bottoltsen is now iitting out a ship to go to the assistance of Weliman and his companions who, on June 17, were six miles east of Cape Platen. It is added that Hyervohl, the ski runner, is on Danes Island with Prof. Oyen. —— +02 Experimental Guns. ‘The only two, experimental guns under construction at the Washington navy yard will soon be completed and be ready for testing. On Friday the nickel-steel gun was par- tiaily jacketed, but the Hurst gun has passed that stage and little remains to be done to get it ready for the proving grounds. The Hurst gun Is a peculiar type being built by a special act of Congress as an experiment. The gun is really a gun within a gun. The powder chamber is formed of two tubes, one’ inside of the other, and the projectile, differing from all others, has a tapering end which, when in- serted in the gun, fits in the smailer or in- ner tube, while the large end of the pro- jeetile swells to such a size that it covers the space between the outer ritn of the in- ner tube and the Inner rim of the outer tube. A primary charge in the inner tobe, working on the theory of the inventor, gives the projectile a start, and a greater charge in the outer tube catches it as soon as the tapering end has left its position and thus gives it greater velocity, the udvantage elaimed being that where there is but one charge a great deal of its benetit is lost in giving the load a start. Master Mechanic Robinson states that the gun will likely be ready for trial about the 15th of September. naam Trt A Cane From the Kearsarge. Lieut. Herbert Wirslow, on duty at the Washington navy yard, has received a beAutiful oak cane from Secretary Herbert accompanied by a letter in which the Sec- retary says: “I herewith present to you a cane turned from one of the timbers of the Kearsarge, made so famous by the gal- lantry of your distinguished father and the sailors under his command. 1 take especial pleasure in conveying to your ‘k memento, because I feel assu: character you bear in the navy that should vccasion offer you will prove yourself worthy of this token, and of the honored mame you bear.” In accepting the cane Lieut. wrote to the Secretary that he was “ex- tremely grateful to you for the beautiful cane made from one of the timbers of the old Kearsarge.

The subject is one which has been brought prominently before iblic recently, The New Hampshire mémber wishes it to be understood that he has no animus against the south in the master, “The growth of mob lw in this country, he said, “has been manifested of late years by the white cap ortenffations, which have taken to whipping’ certain citizens of the West, there has been tarring and feathering also, and lynching has been even perpe- trated in New York state. In these days of labor troubles and industrial discontent the tendency toward organized violence is one which cannot be countenanced by law- abiding citizens. It is the esence of an- archy itself. “There is twice as much punishment in- flicted by lawful processes now as by one process of the law, and this punishment of crime organized but unlawful violence is a greater crime thgn those against which it is directed, There are said to have been rrore than 20,000 criminal homicides in the four years from to 1892, inclusive. Of these offenses 338 were punished by jegal executions. How “the rest of the crimes vere treated doés not appear, and the sreater portion seem not to have been pun- ished at all. «Much could be sald about minor outrages like whipping or tarring and feathering, but most notorious are the. cases of assaults alleged to have been com- mtuted upon females, for which punishment by lawful process is universally inflicted throughout a large part of the country. The whole record raises a grave doubt whether republican institutions are ade- auvate for the preservation of order in the administration of justice in society. ‘The increase of murders from 1489 to 1892 was almost 100 per cent, Probably no civilized ccuntry ever presented such a deplorable recerd as ours would appear to be from statistics apparently well authenticated. “Perhaps the reports are greatly exag- serrated. The only way to ascertain is by an impardal and official investigation,which would be neither difficult nor expensive to nake, The department of labor has col- sted statistics of divorces, which must have been a inuch greater labor, and its special investigations into rates of wages, the slums of cities and building associations have been of the greatest benefit to the covntry. They are made quietly and im- partially, and are reliable. All political parties have expressed confidence in the work of the department. Nine millions of colored people are in this country, and they are crying out against the violence and In- jvstice to which they allege they are being subjected. If we continue to do nothing about it, as we have during the last twenty years, God Almighty is Hable to take a hand in it before we know what is going on, as he did 30 years ago. The truth being as- certained—be it for better or for worse—pub- Le opinion of ints country and of the world will correct the evil. There can be no dcubt of the duty nor the jurisdiction of Ccngress in the matter the government has always investigated, has taken the census, has Investigated the educational and indus- trial condition of the country and all sub- jects of this nature relating to crime. “The resolution has gone to the commit- tee on labcr, and will probably He over nul the winter session, giving opportunity for everbody who may desire the investiga- tion to make known their wishes to the committee by petition’ and by hearings, which will probably be accorded them. Mr. McGann, the chairman, informs me that he is in favor of ascertaining the truth, and giving tt to the country, whatever it may be. It ts an unpleasant duty to introduce a resolution of this kind, but I have felt that it was almost a crime td neglect it. We be- ccme parties to this unlawful violence and are more guilty than the excited people \ho perpetrate It, Sf, after it is over, in cach case we quietly subside and wait for its repetition on a larger scale. If the colored people do not gee fit to embrace tis opportunity to reach the truth regard- ing the wrong: which they complain of, let iLem forever after hold their peace.” —— = SUMMERING Ss THE RIVER, The Cole of Wasbingtonia: Calvert's Rest.

Edwards of Boston, who was at the Southern last night. “His office happens to be.on aifloor in a building where there are a latge number of tenants, but no other telepidnes besides his own. The result is, he has been for months bored to death by telephone @éad-beats, many of whom have used his*telephone a great deal more than he has,--The nuisance got 80 bad ag last that it was quite usual to have two visitors waiting for, each other at the ‘phone.

He specially, notified central on no account to connect any one who called up the old number. The scheme worked like a charm. For a day or two the nuisance was increased by the importunities cf pa- trons of his telephone and their indignant protests when they failed to secure con- nection. It did not take long, however, for them to realize that the telephone was of no further use to them, and the way my friend echoed their protestations and lamen- tations was mest amusing.

Although treasury officials will not admit that there is ary probability of another issue of bonds, there is not much doubt that they are seriously considering ways and means for the protection of the gold balance, now at the lowest point it has ever reached. It is said to be the opinion of the President and Secretary Carlisle that the situation does not furnish any just appre- hension, and that betier times confidently may be expected soon. From this point of view it is argued that the passage of the pending tariff bill is sure to result in a prompt and general revival of business, and that in consequence there will be a large increase in the government revenues. Re- ceipts from customs, which for many months past have been gradually growing less, it Is asserted, will show a marked improvement from the very first, and will continue to in- crease until normal conditions have been reached. ft 1s contended that, notwith- standing the fact that the gold reserve has fallen to $52,000,000, the government is really far better able to meet its obligations today than it was just prior to the February bond issue. On January 1, 1804, the net cash balance in the treasury wi only $9,488,955, while today it is in excess of $65,- 000,000, and the officials observe with satis- faction that our own people have not, so fer, exhibited any signs of losing faith in the government's ability to meet every emergency, and pay every obligation at maturity. ‘That this is true is shown by the fact that the gold that is now being drawn from the several subtreasuries is al- most entirely for export. In no known in- stance has there been a withdrawal of gold that could be traced to a feeling of security. Under normal conditions the gov ernment makes a net gain in gold of about $100,000 a day, and loses from a fourth to a half of that amount, and even under the’ present disturbed conditions there has been no marked change from that rule. ‘This, it is argued, shows implicit faith on the part of the people in the financial se- curity of the country, and it has greatly assisted in tiding over the present depres- sion without. @ bond issue. Another favor- able condition is the certainty that very soon there will be a strorg demand from western banks for small notes, with which to harvest and move the crops, and that they will be very willing to exchange goid for paper. There are others, however, who take a Jess hopeful view of affairs. They observe . at the gold reserve, which six months ago was brought up to its normal condition by an increase of $50,000,000 in public debt, is again melting away, and is already reduced to a point $13,000,000 beow the lowest reached prior to the February bond issue. ‘They contemplate with uneasiness the fact that tor a year and more the ordinary ex- penses of the government have largely ex- ceeded the receipts. It is argued that should the pending tariff bill become a law and go into operation even as early as the middie of the present month, no material increase in the revenues could reasonably be expected earlier than next December. The only recourse, therefore, it is con- tended, will be to a bond issue, and there are many well-informed persons who be- Neve that if this Congress does not pass a prohibitive resolution before adjournment $50,000,000 or more will soon be issued. That there would be no difficulty in placing any reasonable amount, even at the pre- mium exacted in February, seems apparent from the fact that the February bonds are being sold at a premium of 1.27 per cent. ——— FOR CONGRESSMAN, Tom Dawson of Rockville the Chvice of Montgomery. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md, August 6, 1804. The contest for control of the delegation from this county to the coming republican congressional convention at Frederick is assuming definite shape. It is now regarded as quite certain that an effort will be made by Mr. George L. Wellington of Allegany to secure the support of this county, and it has also developed that the sentiment of those who favor a Montgomery man has centered upon Mr. Tom Dawson of Rock- ville. There were a few weeks ago four or five gentlemen who were regarded as as- Pirants for the honor of county indorse- ment. Lately it has leaked out that at a conference among the assembled friends and supporters of all who were willing to become the chojee of the county a unani- ious decision was reached in favor of Dawson as the most available man to make the race. This means that the fight has narrowed down between Wellington and Dawson, and that the latter has secured | such support throughout the- county as renders it almost certain that the delega- dion will be in his favor. Judge John T. ‘Vinson, who 1s persistently referred to by Baltimore papers as a probable candidate from Montgomery, is known to have’ writ- ten a letter pledging hearty support to the choice of the conference above referred to, and all the other proposed candidates,either personally or through their friends, have given pledges of support to the candidacy of Mr. Dawson. —— Gonzaga College Garden Party. The grand garden party for the benefit of new Gonzaga College and Hall will open tonight, to continue for two weeks. Father Dolan, assisted by the heads of tables and their corps of assistants, have been untiring in their efforts to make the grounds a' tractive and the appointments first class, and owing to their efforts the erstwhile campus is metamorphosed into a fairyland. ‘There is such a variety of entertainment that the large lot presents the appearance of a miniature Columbian exposition, not lacking even the world-renowned midway. The children takirg part in the midway performances are interested in their work, and will perform their parts well. They range from six or eight years old to fifteen and sixteen, but act their parts so well that it would do them credit even if they were much older. The arrangement of the mid- way is due to Mr. J. S. Moss, who has been ably assisted by Miss Frances Smalley. Mr. Moss has prepared his program much more as a burlesque on the original mid- way, d he and Miss Smalley have spent much time and labor in drilling the chii- dren.
