HIGH CRIME CHARGED Chinese Officials Attack Li Hung Chang, the Viceroy. ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION AND STEALING A Conspiracy Alleged of Traitors to the Empire. RETURN OF MISSIONARIES LONDON, November 28.—According to a dispatch from Shanghai, a, sensation has been caused there by a memorial to the throne, signed by over 120 high offici impeaching Li Hung Chang and charging him with corruption, peculation and decep- tion, The memorial also says that Li Hung Chang rejoiced at the Japanese victories and prevented the Chinese from achieving success. He is geaid to have represented that China was prepared for war when he knew that the contrary was the case. Li Hung Chang is also said to be impli- cated with Prince Kung, the emperor's uncle, and president of the Tsung Li Ya- men, and president of the admiralty, who was recently appointed dictator, and with the Taotai and the commander of the Chi- nese forces at Port Arthur. ‘These three officials are said by the sign- ers of the memorial to be guilty of high treason and of selling state secrets and war material to the enemy. They are further charged with investing money in Japan and with harboring treasonable designs against the Chinese empire and with con- spiring to procure the overthrow of China. ‘The memorial demands the instant pun- ishment and dismissal of all concerned in the conspiracy. Port Arthur Considered Impregnable. SAN FRANCISCO, November 28.—Tho Oceanic brought over a dozen missionaries frem various parts of China. Among them was Dr. H. P. Blodgett of the American board of foreign missionaries, who has been engaged in missionary work in the orient for forty years. He does not believe there is any danger to missionaries or other for- eigners in China, and is returning for a holday. He says the murder of Mr.Wylie was the only act of violence committed. The Chinese, he says, considered Port Arthur impregnable, and it was as strong- ly fortified as ingenuity could suggest. He believes the Japanese will capture Pekin, although the troops must march thirty Gays to reach the Chinese capital. The cap- ture of Port Arthur will give easy trans- portation to Japanese troops. The ulti- mate aim of the Japanese is to acquire more territory. A United States naval officer who came over on the Oceanic says never in any war has such patriotism been shown as that evinced by the Japanese. Rich and poor have contributed to the war fund and en- rolled themselves as members of the Red Cross Society, in the ranks of which are royal princes and nobles. The society has hospitals in every part of the empire, and has done fine work on the field of battle. oo CZAR’S POPULARITY. THE Stepnink Tells Why He Can Go About Unprotected. ST. PETERSBURG, November 28.—The popularity of the czar increases daily. Nothing has done so much to popularize him as his unaffected ways, and the fact that he is dispensing with the military po- lice body guards of the palace. His order withdrawing the troops from the line of route upon his wedding day has produced a good effect. The crowds were unable to believe that they would be allowed to stand and witness the procession without the invariable hedge of soldiers, and when they saw that this was a fact the populace were frantic with delight, and expressed their satisfaction in many ways. There is no doubt that a marked change has taken place everywhere in St. Petersburg Iife in consequence of the czar’s admirable pol- fey. LONDON, November 28.—Stepniak, the Russian Nihilist leader, in an interview to- day with a representative of the Asso- iated Press in regard to the czar’s popu- larity, : “Of course, the czar knows that he Is perfectly safe in going about un- attended. I know that a strong feeling in favor of conciliation prevails among the Russian revolutionists. The czar has won- derfully good cards in his hands, and if he 1s not quite a fool he can make concessions which will reconcile everybody, and which will make him the most popular czar Rus- sia has ever known. “The czar’s manifesto does not indicate whether he will follow a liberal or a con- servative policy. The praise bestowed upon {t by the English press as being a liberal move is perfectly gratuitous. There is nothing in the manifesto, however, which can be blamed. It opens the way to both courses. Beyond this there {s nothing in it. We must wait and see what he will do with political offenders. There is the chief point in my min RUBINSTEIN BURIED. Faneral of the Celebrated Russian Musician. ST. PETERSBURG, November 28.—The funeral of Anton Rubinstein took place here today at the Newski Church. The ceremonies were attended by the entire art world of St. Petersburg and deputations were present from the Imperial Theater of Moscow, the musical societies throughout the empire and from -the municipalities of St. Petersburg and Peterhof. There were thousands of spectators about the church, — URGED TO RESIST. ‘The Queen of Madagascar Appeals to Her People.

This manifesto was publicly read at An- dohla, near the capital, and was received with frantic enthusiasm. A fire has occurred in the Antananarivo market place. One hundred and fifty houses were burned. The Catholic Hovas are form- ing committees to protect their churches during the war. eS a THE SYMPATHY OF EMPERORS. anges of Condolence Sent to Bismarck. BERLIN, November 28.—The remains of Princess Sismarck wiil be interred at Var- zin. The funeral will be of a quiet and simple character. Prince Bismarck has received many mes- sages of condolence from all parts, includ- ing words ¢f sympathy from Emperor William, the: empress, Empercr Francis Joseph of Austria, the Dowager Empress Frederick, Prince Hohenlohe, Signor Crispi, the Italian premier; Count Kalnoky, the Austrian premier; the Crown Prince of Denmark, Prince Luitpold, regent of Ba- varia; the Grand Duke of Baden, the king of Saxony, ex-Chancellor Caprivi, and from the Bremen senate and most of the Ger- man princes and notables. Many Me Proposed Coming of Athletes. LONDON, November 25.—Mr. Holman, secretary of the London Athletic Club, in an interview with @ representative of the Associated Press today, said he had not received overtures of any kind from the New York Athletic Club looking to the sending of an athletic team from his or- ganization to the United States in order to compete with a team representing the New York club. The secretary could say nething which would commit the club un- til the necessary invitation was received from New York and had been acted upon by the committee. ee A Mexican Lexicographer Dead.

Matters of Interest Discassed—Con- tagious Hospital Site Condemned. The Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Asso- clation held one of the largest, best a tended and enthustastic meetings in its history at Moses’ Hotel, in Brightwood, last night. President W. A. Gatley oc- cupled the chair and Acting Secretary Claude M. King filled the office of secretary and read the minutes of last meeting, which were adopted. The secretary then read a communication from Dr. Wm. Tin- dall to the effect that the Commissioners regretted very much their inability to ex- tend the fire-alarm system out Brightwood avenue, but that the same would be done next year, provided Congress made the appropriations asked for. President Gat- ley, a8 a committee of one, appointed at the last meeting, reported he,had seen the Brightwood ’ railroad joffiglals, who promised to stop their cars {g front of the post office at Brightwood ‘on nd after today. He also reported that the, company would put on two more cjosed cars, to run at 8 o'clock a.m. and at 4:30 o'clock p.m., commencing today. In answer to sev- eral inquiries, he stated that the matter of reciprocal transfers wag still in con- troversy between the Metropolitan and Brightwood roads. Ex-President Norris of the committee on resolutions of condolence over the death of the late secretary, Ar- thur L. Keene, reported that they had been engrossed by Dr. J. A. Lavender and were ready for presentation. 4 On motion of Mr. King the chair ap- pointed Messrs. King, Norris and Robin- son a@ committee to secure another hall for use of the association, it being reported that the trustees of the Moses estate re- fused longer to allow meetivgs to be held at the present hall. " Maj. L. B. Williams then presented res- olutions, which were unanimously adopted, setting forth that if a contagious hospital be erected on the site proposed it would be a never-ending source of danger to the en tire northern suburbs, casting a blight up- on the property of the whole region and rendering the same unsafe for homes or business; condemning the location selected as being unsuitable for such hospital, and emphatically protesting against its being so used and pledging themselves to an un- compromising opposition thereto. There being no objection, Messrs. Gatley, ing and Williams were appointed to rep- resent the association at the mass meeting held at Central Union Mission Hall. The election of a permanent secretary went over to the next meeting, which was fixed by resolution for Wednesday even. ing, December 12. After the meeting adjourned, a food- sized delegation, headed by ex-President Norris, presented the resolutions of con- dolence to the family of ex-Secretary Keene. GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

A TRUE STATEMENT The Condition of the Fidelity Officers Now Under Arrest. WHAT LED 10 THEIR PROSECUTION Evidence Claimed by the Pittsburg Chief of Police. A TALK WITH WALL Staff Correspoadence of The Evening Star. PITTSBURG, November 27, 1894. The case against the officers of the Fi- delity Building and Loan Association,which will be given a preliminary hearing tomor- row morning, looks serious for the gentle- men who are now behind the bars at the central station in this city, as well as for the one or two included in the charges who have secured bail. So far as the real issues in the matter are concerned, it is @ question which one must settle in his own mind, whether or not the methods of business pursued by the Fidelity Company and kindred organizations are honorable or not. That they are permissible under the laws of the District of Columbia has been decided in the suit brought against the Fidelity people by many of the certifi- cate holders in the company, and dismissed by Justice Hagner last year. That they will be found so under the laws of Penn- sylvania 1s, at this writing, doubtful. There is no question about the fact that an ex- tremely bitter feeling exists among the people and legal authorities in Pittsburg against the prisoners. While it is now gen- erally belleved that Mr. Dingman was not aware of any of the alleged crooked deal- ing indulged in by the representatives of the Fidelity Company here, there is still a strong resentment against him for allow- ing himself to be associated with a com- pany whose methods and practices he was not entirely familiar with in every detail and perticular. For Mr. Andrew Wall, and the others,who were immediately in charge of the local office of the Fidelity Company, the sentiment is unrelenting and indig- nant. So far nothing has been said about the evidence which the prosecution will bring forward to substantiate the grave charges of conspiracy to defraud. From what I learned of it tonight it will be of powerful import to a jury com- posed of men who are intensely angry at the revelations regarding “blind pools,’”’ “discretionary pools” and other devices of unscrupulous individuals, which have been successfully used to defraud hundreda of the poorer people in this vicinity of their hard-earned savings. It is just such evi- dence, or testimony rather, which will werve to further increase public hostility to all insitutions, no matter how deftly their charters may be drawn to keep with- in the letter of the law, and to blind the senses of the Jurymen to any other intel- jigence than that which imspired the ‘osaic law. Perhaps it will all be brought out at the preliminary hearing tomorrow, but the probabilities are that the accused will waive a hearing. Rut a jury will eventually hear it anyhow. What Started the Prosecutions. The attention of the local police authori- ties was first directed to the operations of the Fidelity and other foreign corporations of a similar charactcr doing business here by the revelations spoken of above in con- nection with various swindling institutions that have been made in Pittsburg during the past month or six weeks. Chief Roger O'Mara, brawny and brainy, with a hatred of anything deceptive or fraudulent, made an examination of several companies and discovered what he thought to be loose practices in the conduct of the local office of the Fidelity Building and Loan Associa- tion. Several holders of certificates in the association were questioned by his_repre- sentatives and their stories led him to suggest to them the propriety. of filing in- formation against Messrs. Dingman and Wall, the chief officers of the company, and Messrs. Mitchell, Henry and others em- ployed in the Pittsburg branch. Armed with warrants issued from such informa- tion O'Mara began to work. He knew that Messrs. Dingman and Wall were here last week in attendance upon the meeting ef the Mystic Shriners and waited until they visited the branch office of their com- pany, Then the arrests were made. An exaniination of the office, it is sald, and the statement will come out in the testimony, showed that no system of books was kept other than a day book, which was in charge of a small boy. This book merely howed the amounts taken in and, it is stated, contained at the end of each week a statement of the total amount used for expenses, the balance, if any remained from the receipts, heing sent to the main office in Washington. The boy who xept this day book will be an important witness. It is said that he will testify that men were employed as agents to drum up customers among the poor and ignora..t people of Pittsburg, who were supposed to be peculiarly open to the attraction of any proposition that prom- ised a large return for a very little out- lay. These “agents” were paid $2 for each person they induced to subscribe to a cer- tificate. 1t is alleged that testimony will also be given to show that men were also employed by the Pittsburg agency to visit the persons who had subscribed for the certificates and collect the weekly or monthly dues from each, and that these collectors were paid no less than 15 per cent of the amounts they turned in for their labor. The authorities believed that an institution doing business on this plan could not possibly be in a position to re- deem its promises to its patrons when their maturity was reached, but they looked carefully through the effects of the branch office here to see if they could discover any securities or any evidences of loans having been made, from the proceeds of which the certificate ho.ders might even- tually receive what they expected and had been promised. Absolutely nothing of the sort was found. Further investigation de- veloped the fact that there were hundreds of humble persons here who had invested in the company, many of whom had lost their investments through their failure or inability to make the regular payments necessary to continue the contract entered into. Chief O'Mara told me tonight that he was convinced the Fidelity Company was conceived and that it had always ex- isted in fraud, and that he had no doubt of his ability to oonvict all the defendants rnd secure their severe punishment. What Chief O'Mara Says. “Tt is not persecution, as Mr. Wall seems to believe so fondly,” said the head of the Pittsburg police. “We are only doing our duty as it appears to us. There {s no plot back of it. I see that Mr. Wall affects to believe that he is the victim of a conspir- acy entered into by Catholics who wish to ruin him, because they believe he belongs to secret societies which hold the Cath- olics as enemies. That is too ridiculous to be considered. We believe, and I ain sure, that Mr. Wall and his associates have been deliberately defrauding ovr people in a systematic way. If the accused men ca bring forward any securities they hold, or proof of any investments they have made, by which the people who have placed their money in their hands can be assured of their immunity from loss, there will be no further proceedings. But I am sure they can’t do it in spite of the abundant oppor- tunity that will be given them. They can- not have any such property. They retain the right in their charter and contracts to use 50 per cent of the gross receipts for ex- penses, and no honest company, in my opinion, would do anything of the sort. Mr. Wall and the others will have to clear their skirts pretty thoroughly or they will be made to suffer. I am determined that our people shall not be subjected any longer to plausible schemes that will cost them their money. The Fidelity Company is not the only one on the list. It is just the starter. Pittsburg will be made entirely too hot to hold any so-called financial institution, local or foreign, that does not have guaran- teed hacking of the best sort, and I can assure you that I mean what I say.’ Mr. O'Mara did not care to disclose what evidence he had outside of the testimony of the certificate holders themseives, which will largely be to the effect that they sub- scribed to the certificates in good faith and upon the representations of agents of the company that they could not lose anything in any event. Some of them lost their standing In the company because of their failure to make regular payments; others desired to get their money out and could not do it. As a class, the certificate holders who are THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES, 8 Placing informations against the company at the rate of about one an are ig- norant, but honest shown by the manner in the informations are signed.

D. 1804, in Pittsburg, the defendants afore- sald did, on the above date and before said date, as aitiant believes and expects to prove, maliciously conspire and agree to cheat and defraud this affiant of certain sums of money, amounting to about one hundred and sixty-four dollars, in United States currency, the same being the prop- erty of this aftant. All of which ts contrary to the act of assembly of this commonwealt! Complainant therefore desires a warrant may issue and the aforesaid defendants may be arrested and held to answer this charge of conspiracy to defraud. JAMES HOOPER. Mr. Hooper cannot write, so he made his mark, and James F. Kane witnessed it. 1 was told several others had been signed with crosses. It was said that they could not read, either. This showed the class of persons who placed their savings in the company, the objects of which they could not read in the contracts, but must have learned from some one who knew about them. The paragraph of the act of the assem- bly of March 31, 1800, reciting the punish- ment for conspiracy to defraud is the law referred to in the informations under which the defendants will be tried. It pro- vides that if two or more persons shall falsely and maliciously conspire and agree to cheat and defraud any person or body corporate of his or thcir money, goods, chattels or other property, or to do any other dishonest, malicious or unlawful act to the prejudice of another, they shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $500, and to undergo an imprisonment, by feparate or solitary confinement at labor, or by simple imprisonment, not exceeding two years. Two Sample Victims. While talking with the detectives at police headquarters this morning a woman came in who had certificates in both the Fidelity Company and its successor, the Columbia. She wauted her money. Her appearance bespoke humble surroundings, and she was poorly dressed. In the afternoon, while at the same place, another younger repre- sentative of the same class came in on @ similar miseion with a Fidelity certificate. Both said they had applied to take out their money some months ago, but had gotten no satisfaction after repeated in- quiries abou. it. One of the women, named Purroy, said a friend of hers had lost her standing in the company because the col- lector had not called to get the money, and when she went to the local offices of the company, in the Ferguson building here, she was told that she had lost her invest- ment by failure to pay the regular dues. The woman in question will be found and her testimony used. The Other Side. The other side of the case, it must be confessed, is vague and indefinite regarding details. It consists, as far as I have heen able to ascertain, in complete denials of do- ception or intention to defraud. Mr. Har- rison Dingman is generally believe l, as be- fore stated, to be in entire ignoranee of the methods followed by the agents in charge of the branch offices of the company. Mr. Andrew Wall stated with positiveness to me when I saw him this afternoon that Mr. Dingman knew absolutely nothing about the work of the branch offices, and had nothing whatever to do with it. Mr. Wall was very much exercised over his humiliating position. He was walking around the narrow platform that ran along the sides of an oblong cell room, giving access to the ten ceils on the tier, Four tough-looking men were taking exercise at the same time. He was certain that his arrest and the others was brought about by persons engaged in a conspiracy against him. When I asked him to state the ob- jects of the company, he said they were abundantly set forth in the contracts en- tered into with certificate holders, which have been sufficiently explained in The Star heretofore. Mr. Wall Talk: ‘ “We enter into a contract,” he said, with a decided English accent, “and keep our side of it. Of course, if the other parties do rot meet thelr obligations the contract is broken. The amounts turned into the company by reason of lapses that may oc- cur in this manner are divided amoag the shareholders.” Mr. Wall did not explain when asked how this was done, but went off into a eriti- cism of other companies doing business in Pittsburg, especially the industrial insur- ance companies, whatever they may be, and proceeded to show how superior the methods of his company were to those of the others, Then I asked him pcint Llank if he expected to be able to clear himself of the charges. He said the crazy public sentiment in Pittsburg would have to be taken into consideration, as well as the powerful character of the conspiracy,which he insisted at all times during the conver- sation was responsible for his arrest. “I am innocent of any attempt or desire to defraud anybody,” he exclaimed; “but you know how frequently the innocent are made to suffer.” He expressed confidence in his eventual success in exposing the conspiracy and bringing its principals to justice, and I asked him what the conspiracy consisted of. Mr. Wall said nothing directly about the details of the alleged conspiracy, but gave several hints to show that he believed ait influences were arrayed against m. Former Charges Against Him. “The result of this case will be to make all fraternities in this country bind them- selves closer to one another and together,” he remarked earnestly. Then he abruptly left me and entered his cell. He had ex- pressed the intention of. not attempting to get bail until all the cases against him were prepared, as telegraphed to The Star earlier today. He had also been given a chance to éxplain the charges once brought against him in connection with the Mer- cantile Savings Bank, in Brooklyn, several years ago. He was surprised to know the allegations against him in that connection had been revived. He said he had not, as charged, started the Mercantile concern, but had been connected with it after its beginning. It ran only a short while, and was sold out to another company. The New York World had been furnished false informa- tion about the bank and himself by a per- sonal enemy of his. When asked why he did not sue the World for libel in such a case,Mr. Wall wanted to know what chance a humble individual would have with the best sort of a case against such an in- stitution. - Mr. Dingman’s Quarters. While Mr. Wall ts incarcerated in a regu- lar cell, Mr. Dingman is in roomy and well- furnished apartments in the woman's ward of the central station. No other prisoners are there. Mrs. Phinney, the matron in charge, welcomes visitors to Mr. Dingman with tearful pleasure. She is a good, sym- pathetic soul, and assures each visitor that Mr. Dingman is the finest gentleman she ever met, and that his arrest is a burning shame. Mr. Dingman shows the result of bis experience. He bears up bravely, of course, and is conscious of his own Inno- cence, and gratified at the substantial evi- dences he has received of the esieem and confidence he enjoys in this city. But he gives evidence that he suffers from his predicament keenly. There was an unfortunate delay in the matter of getting bail for him. Messrs. George H. Walker and Harry Standiford came on here to arrange the matter. Alli- son Nailor had given Mr. Riddle, the Wash- ington agent of R. G. Dun & Co., a certi- fled bond to indemnify the Pittsburg agent of the same agency in case he went on Mr. Dingman’s bond and the latter forteited. The amount of bail required was $6,000, and Mr. A. B. Wigley, Dun's local agent, found he could only qualify in $4,500. While this was being tallted over a lawyer named McKee advised Wigley to get Mr. Nailor to send $6,000 in cash here before he (Wigley) ed as bondsman. He concluded to and nothing further was done. This evening Mr. Standiford received word that ex-Congressman James H. Hop- kins would arrive here with a certified bond for $100,000, in order to be fully equip- ped to give bond for Mr. Dingman in any amount.

Mr. Hopkins told me he expected to be able to have Mr. Dingman on his way home tomorrow. The newspapers here this morning printed wild stories about Mn Dingman’s absence from the central sta tion last night, and Alderman McMasters was not a little excited over a report that was brovght to him that Mr. Dingman had been allowed to leave the city. There was no reason for any such hullabeloo, Dingman was taken out by Detective Shore in order to be present yesterday at the ex- pected bail proceedings and was pean | to remain out with the detective sev hours in the evening. The authorities say they know their prisoner would not leave town without giving bond, even if he had the chance, and there is genuine regret that Dingman must remain in custody at the station. c. c. —2— Real Estate Transfers.
