The company had never offered such a proposition to the men as had been stated, in effect that they must break from the Kaights as a con- dition of employment % T.lmdage,speaking for them,explained that when the new management began under a1e celver, many changes were necessitated.

Louls, Mo., August 26,—It has just travspired that a man named Lucien White was arrested here a week ogo lmt Monday, charged with being concernsd in a gigantic scheme to counterfeit Brazillian bank noter, White was arrested at the Hotel Mosher, where he had been stopping for some time, and detectives engaged in ferreting out the case bave discovered partly finished notes amountiog in tho aggregate to £320,000. The captured paper is chiefly notes of the denom- ivation of 200 milreis, Lut they consist, only of fronts of notes and are not sigoed. The backs, however, have bsen discovered in Now Orleans, ana thus the tcheme has been foided. Other arrests ars expected to ba made both bere and in New Ocleans. when the names of the Brazilisn members of the gang will ba re- cured, Itis said that one or more of the gang are now on their way to Brazil; that the anthorities of that country have been cabled to that effect, and the men will be arrested on their ardival. The printing of the fronts of the notes was done here by August Gast & Qo., who were told they were intended for cigar box lab:ls, but the suspicions of Gast & Co. being aroused while the work was in pro- geess, they infurmed the United Statos au- thorities here, and detectives were ket to work on the case, Lucien White, the man arrested here, says his former home was Whitney, Texas, but that he lived in Brazil a numberof years, that he returned to Texas six monthssgo, and shortly afterwards was approached by a man named Lane, who broached the scheme to him urder the guise of cigar box labels, and he went into it. He then went to New York to have the printing done, but failing in this he went to Ohicago, where he sgain failed, He then came here with the above result, rie is an intelligent, well-educated man, and the de- tectives think Lane is & myth, and that White is the chief mover in the scheme. The bogus notes are said to ba admirable imitations of Brazlian treasury notes AND VERY DANGEROUS OOUNTERFEITS, When Gast & Co's suspicions were first aroused that the work they were doing was ot deeigned for cigar box labals, theynotified the Brazilian consuls both here and " in New York, but 1t was not until they laid the mat- ter before Uvited States Attorney Blies, of this city, that action was taken. Detectives were then put on the case and Gast & Co, were directed to proceed with their work. White was informed by Gast & Co, that the labels would be ready on August 17, and he arranged to receive them on that Mesntime White was chadowed, and on the eveniog of the 17th he was effectually ar- rested at the dining room door of Mosher taken to hi room whee hé has since been kopt, 8o far he has taken the arrest coolly He will have sn ¢x amivation before United States Commissioner Culleu to-morrow, It is said the detectives have located White's confederate, and that perbaps he s wlre dy arreste], but his name is not Lane, No plates were found in Naw Orleaus as has been stated, OAP- e — WEALTH ANV WAGES, WESTEEN NAIL MANUPACTURERS IN BESSION, Pirrsereo, August 26.—The adjourned meeting of the Wes ern Nail association is Brogress h ay, with & fuil represents- vion of the mil st of the Alleghenies The members refused to give any information | lg uotil after the close of the meeting, Trade is reported to be lookiog up, and manufacturers anticipate an eatly resumption, STRIKING NATL MAKERS A conference of striking pailers and their employers was held this afternoon.
