COUNT HERBERT'S SECRET MOVE He Slips Quietly to Italy and Has a Conterence With Crispi—A Rencwal of Centrist Activity. Gossip From Berlin, opyright 1889 by New York Associated Press.) Beruiy, Sept. 14.—The hearty reception given to Emperor William at Hanover has been @ gratifying surprise, as showing the extent of the anti-Pruseian party and the popular growth of the German national movesnient. The progress of the party through the densely crowded streets was very slow, and the enthusiasm was everwhelming. The emperor was exceedingly pleased with bis welcome. Equal enthusiasm was displayed when the emperor drove from the Schloss to welcome theczarowitch, The spontancous character of the demonstration could not be doubted. It was the emperor's first visit to the capital of the conquered kingdom. He and his en- wourage expected a lukewarm reception. His pleasure over the welcome found expression in the words that he addressed to Herr Ben- niger, oberpresiden of the province. He found himsolf among his own people in Hau- over, he said. His meeting with the czarowitch was in- vested with unwonted formality, the honors being the same as would have been accorded the czar. Around the emperor were Prince Albrecht, the granddukes of Hesss and Old- burg, Prince Charles of Sweden, and several German princelings and court officials. The czarowitch cordially responded to the em- peror's grecting. They drove through ranks of the veternns and members of the city guilds to the Schloss, Yesterday's review was a brilliant spec- tacle, The esarowitch rode on the emperor's right. Count Von Aldersee led the Hano- veran Uhlans, and Prince George the Six- teenth Unlans. Prince Albrecht was at the head of the Mrunswickers. The emperor rode along the line of 7,000 men snd ex- pressed completo satisfaction with the bear- ing of the troops. Returning to the Schloss the imperial party visited the guild of brewers, The emperor drank a glass of beer and the empress was presented with a bouquet. The fact that the czarowitch was received in & style usually reserved for crowned heads, is exciting unusual attention. The programme of .his reception at Kiel and Hapover was dictated by Prince Bismarck, ‘who was actuated by his knowledge that the czarowitch is disposed to renew the amica- “Dble relations with Germany, His influence may assist the chancellor's final efforts to modify the czar's hostilities. According to the present arrangements, during his visit to Potsdam, the czar is determined to avoid all reforevce to the political situation. Nei- ther M. De Giers or any other minister of his political cabinet will accompany him. His suite will be composed solely of mili- tary oficers. Prince Bismarck 18 credited with aiming to obtain an interview similar o the historic conference of November, 1857, 'The ezar, in assenting to the programme of the visit, hus ignored the existence of the chancellor. A court report has it that he prefers not to meet him, Whatever weight the czarowitch has with his father will tend in favor of according an interview with Prince Bismarck, The emperor will go to Weimar on Tues- day to attend the manoeuversof the Ninth corps. He will return to Hanover on Sop- tember 20, where he will command in the buttle between the Tenth and Seventh corps, at which smokeless powder will be used, He is enjoying splendid health despite incessant fatigue. His speeches at the military. ban- quess ginsn at Lr sden and Minden smacked strougly of war, At Dresden he boasted “Die Kriegsbereite Soehne Sachsens” as willing to remove the traditions of Sedan, Count Herbert Bismarck, during his sup- posed sojourn in England, secretly went to Italy, where he had an interview with Signgr Crispl, who was also very privato in his movements, The interview related to the projected meeting of the emperors of Ger- many and Austria and the king of Italy at Naples, and the relations between Italy and the Vatican, The emperor of Austriw’s visit is contingent upon the [tal- fan government modifying its poticy toward the church, refraining from interfering with privileges of the officers of the vatican, suppressiug demonstrations similar to the Bruno celebration, and a renewal of pledges 10 observe the guarantees, Prince Bismurck charged Herr Schlosser to inform the pope on his return to Rome that Italy's allies would gonstrain the quirinal to - respect tne ‘wishes of the vaticau. Prince Bismarck’s malady of inflammed veins of the legs does notabate. He has been forbidden to walk, A renowsl of the centrist activity is in prospect. A reawakening Kulterkampf is # among Prince Bismarck's incentives to curry favor with the vatican. The centre party orgun issucs u manifosto convoking a Catho- lic congress 1n Munich on September 25, in which a reetoration of the temporal power 1s proclaimed necessary to the diguity of the functions of the vicar of Christ. The out- spoken language of the manifesto contrasts With the recent uncertain utterance of the Bochuw congress. The leaders of the Ha varian Catholics expect to send a letter to the pope, in which they will suy that Ger- man Catholics have beev warned that their government subports the occupation of Rowe and gives no real assistance to the vatican aguinst Italian encroachments, The elections in France are awaited here with increased anxieiy, The pupers are pre- puring to issue niduight editions ou Septem- or 22, « The ewperor has suspended Marshal Blumenthal from his functions us luspector of the Bavarian army corps. He is no favor- ae of e emperor. It is probablo that Prince Leopold, of Bavaris,will be appointed 10 the positie: At to-day's weeting of the colonial com- paoy of soustwest Africa Prince Bismarck's reply to the request of the company for im- perial protection in Darmaraland was read. He says 1t could not be the duty of the em- pire to support the Introduction of state nstitftions among uncivilized races. Tho programmo of Germany’s colonal policy did not include the employment of military forces in order to break the opposition of na- tive chiofs to entorprises of German subjects in distant countries.

Citeaco, Sept. 14.—[Special Telegram to Tne Boe |—Chief Hubbard has received an anonymous letter from an individual who claims he can produce Willie Tascott. The letter, which is dated September 11, and was mailed in this city, reads as follows: “Sir, I know where the long looked for Tascott is and can give you particulars. What will I get if you are successful. I know a man that knows something of the murderer. Arrange interview in Evening News, ‘personal.’ " If the anonymous correspondent is pos- sessed of tho information he claims, it is worth £50,000 to him, as the Snell heirs have never withdrawn their princely reward for any information that may lead to the capture of Tascott. e GRANT GETS FUNNY, New York's Mayor Sends a Hamorous Postal to Chicago's Fair Secrotary. Cnicaco, Sept. 14.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee. ]—Secretary Cragin, of the Chi- cago world’s fair committee, to-day reeeived the following postal card: New York, Sept. 1l.—Dear Sir:. We do not want to have that infernal fair here at all, and we hope you will be able to hold it in your city. It will be a bloody nuisance, and all the row here is wmade by a few measly one-horse papers. Try your best and you will get it. Yours, ete. H. G. GraNT, Mayor. This communication has vrovided con- siderable merriment and is published with ireat ostentation by the afternoon papers. The Canadian provinces are becoming in- terested in the world’s fair and the Manitoba Sun says: Agreatdeal of space 1n the news- paber press of the United States is occupied with a discussion ot the relative claims and advantages of New York and Chicago us tho site for the world’s exposition for 1892, 1t is not likely Manitoba’s voice will count for much in deciding the question, but so far as she has any influence she lolds up both hands for Chicago. With the exposition in the queen city of the west not only would almost all Manitobans take in the ‘‘grate sho,” as Artemus Ward would have put it, but they could be depended upon to see that the agricultural resources of the province were represented on a large scale, Should New York be selected the difficulties in the way would be increased, and 1t is safe to say Manitoba would play & very small part there as compared with what would be attempted at Chicago. ——ea— GOOD ADVICE FOR CHI0AGO. An Ex-Lord Mayor of London Tells How to Prevent Jobbery. Cu10AGo, Sept. 14.—[Special Tolegram to Tag Bee.|—Sic Heory Kuight, formerly lord mayor of London, arrived in this city this morning with Lady Knight and W, W. Phillips, an English business associate. “1 would hke to leave a little advice in Chicago,” said he in an interview this even- ing. “It is about jobbery in municipal bodies. The best cure for it 1s a large council. Peo- plo talk about jawing and no work, but it is better to let a council jaw than vote away the rights of the people. In London we have a council of 225, Each of our com- mittees is composed of no less than thirty- six members, Who ever heard of jobbery in a London councill We have tried the small body in the metropolitan board of pub- lic works, which had about thirty members. Some of thewr committees had only six members. The scandal began at once, and has continued ever since. They can talk about big councils being cumbersome, but it is the sure way to cure jobbary, and the best thing Chicago could do would be to double hers.” Sir Henry insists that neither councilmen or mayor should receive a sala becauso it gets men into the administration who only want pay. e THE BEAUTIFUL ARRLIVES, Snow Falls Reported From Several Western oints. DENVER, Sept. 14.—Specials from most of the mountain districts show that for this season of the year it has been snowing un- usually hard all day and in most places is still falling to-night.

The vote in his ward was & tie, and it was found he had put two ballots in the box. Ruxton was arraigned immediately, but got off on a plea that if there had been any intention to ao “fine work" he would not have been so lacking in sharpness as to at- tempt it with bis own ballot.

'The rumors wero put afloat by the negroes themselves, They were going to make serious trouble, and meetings are being held over the county looking to that end. The result 18 the white people are arming themselves, and the merchants have been unable to supply the demand for Winches- ters, one inorchant stating he could have sold over a hundred rifles yesterday if he could have supplied them. The whites de- clare they want no trouble, but will bo pro- pared for an omergency. Tho negroes ae knowledge that they have been organizing politically, but deny they intend any disturb- ance, and the conservative citizens generally take this view of the matter, New (OnrLeANs, Sept. 14.—-A Meridian, Miss., special says: Most of the recent re- vorts of race troubles in Jasper county show they are assuming larger proportions. On Sunday night last a crowd jof masked men congregated at a small negro church about seven miles west of Paulding and held a mock service and firod the building. Near this church was a negro school house and this they also fired. The dwelling house of Alfred Lessetter, and another negroe's house were also fired. The dwelling house of Mr. B. Hair, a white man, was visited. Mr. Hair and family were much abused, but no bodily harm was offered. Several negroos have been arrestod in Newton county for in- citing insurrection, and are now in jail at Decatur. Two of them confessed there was an organization of blacks, and that they were to unite on Sunday, the 15th, and commenc war. Further arrests of some leading negroes discloses the fact that thero1s an organization, but for political purposes oniy. The white people of the county are organiz- ing and arming themselves, over 5,000 guns having been sold at Newton, It is not now expected that any outbreal will be made at any time, and matters are quieting down. g Sn) FIGHLING THE ELEMENTS. Pilot Murphy Brings a Storm-Tossed Vessel Into Port. NEW York, Sept. 14.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—Pilot William Murphy, after hard fighting against the elements, succeeded in bringing the bark Goldruige from Bahia into port to-day. Murphy boarded the bark last Monday outside Cape May. He belongs to the pilot boat Ambrose Snow. When he left her she had three pilots on board. She has not been heard from since and is the only pilot boat now missing of the great number that was sup- posed to have been blown to sea two days ago. Murphy says a cyclone struck the Goldruige when off Cape May. The pilot re- solved to change his colirse, btut while “wearing e heavy swell and roaring wind struck her, throwing her on her beam ends. For twelve hours all hands clung to the rigging for dear life. Wednesday the storm abated and the ship righted. *‘We ex- amined the pumps,” said the pilot, “‘and found them all right. We got some sail set and then took our bearings. To our surprise we found we had darifted down to lower Florida, We made the best of u bad bargain and set out for this port. That eveninga cyelone struck us again, carrying away the top jib and main sail. At last the wind abated and we reached Sandy Hook without further damage.” 3 e e e SAVED FROM THE SEA. Seven Floating Sailors Picked Up— Six of Thelr Companjons Perish. Bostoy, Sept. 14.—|Speoial Telegram to Tue Bee.)—The steamer Dans, Captain Michelsen, from Baracoa, brought to this port seven shipwrecked seamen of the bark Caterina R., which was abandoned at sea in a sinking condition September 11. The ves- sel had encountered the recent hurricane. Captain Mortala and five seamon were washed overboard and perished on Septem- per 10. Just before the Dana was within hailing distance of the bark, several men were seen clinging to the upper part of her foremust. The steamer laid by and assured the men they would be saved. Chief Ofticer Michelsen, Carpenter Hendrichsen and a seaman named Abrahamsen went to the res- cue. The sea at the time was very heavy, but after a long and tedious passage the wreck was reached and the men taken off. Captain Mortala and the five of the crew lost the day before were washed from the roof of the cabin hauser. It took about twoand a half hours to rescue those who reached the Dana. The bark left Pensacola August 10 for Swansea with a cargo of hard pine. On September 1she commenced to experiencs bad weather, which continued until she was wrecked. ———— CHIOAGO EXPUSITION PAN1O. Fire Causes Ten Thousand Peoplo to Rush From the Building. Cieaco, Sept. 14.—Beuween eight and ten thousand people rushed pell mell out of the exposition building to-night, falling over each other down stairs from the gallery, and many jumping through the windows 10 their hurry to escape. A fire had startod in one of the big booths near the center of the huge structure, and the glare of flames and the crasi of plate glass caused a panio, Men, women and children joined in & mad rush for the exits, which were fortunately uumerous enough to prevent any fatal crushing. Within five minutes the excited thousands of people were safe outside of the structure and a few minutes thereafter the flames were extinguishied and one-fourth of the in- terior of the axposition was in ruins. The damage to the building itself was slight and the art gallery wholly escaped. The losses of the exhibitors will reach 15,000 No persons were reported seriously injured, though doubtless many suffered minor hurts aud others had decidedly ais- agreeable experionces. One young lady and her escort wére compelled to descend by lad- der from the roof. Tne fire was caused by an ignited carbon falling from one of the electric lights into the pit. e Tne Union Brewers' Employes. CINCINNATI, Sept. 14.—The secret meeting of the Nationsl association of union brewers' employes just closed hiere after several days' session, It is stated they re-elected National Secrotary Earnest Kurzenkuabe, of New York, and elected Ibsen editor of their jour: nal. They declined to co-operate with the league for the preservation of citizens' rights, of this city, io their efforts to obtan @ repeal of the laws restricting the sale of beer, not for the reasons that the association was opposed to the sale of beer after mid- night on Sunday, but because the ropeal of the Ohio laws on the subject would inure to the beuefit of the proprietors of breweries whose employes are not members of the union, They adopted ' resolutions favoring the eight hour day, and against patronizing froe beer of Cincinnati, Milwaukee and St. Louis. The next meeting will be held in St. Lows in 1801 WARNER CAN HAVEIT | The Commissionership of Pensions is His If He Wants It. PROFFERED HIM BY HARRISON. And Strongly Urged By the Oabinet and the & A. R. —— ITISTHOUGHT HE WILL ACCEPT. But Business Reasons Cause Him to Hesitate. SOME OF GOV, FORAKER'S ALLIES Grosvenor and Ex-Speaker Keiter Giving the Ohio Candidate Very Suspicious Support -How They Explain 513 FOURTRENTI STRERT, WasuiNeroy, D. C., Sept. 14. There is but a shadow of a doubt that Major Warner,gof Kausas City, will accept the commissionership of pensions. At the conferenco between the president and War- ner at the white house last night the latter informed the former that he would yield to the request of tfe chief magistrate, his cabinet officers and the great volume of sol- diers throughout the country, and accept the commissionershin if it were not for his law business. Major Warner says he has but ten or twelve years of life in which to make whatever he is to have of worldly goods for his old age and nis family; vhat he has a iarge and lucrative law practice which he does not want to give up for an office with wsalary no larger than his expenses of hv- ing. If, however, hé can arrange with his business partner, who is dow here, so that he can enjoy some of the profits of the law practice now possessed by the firm, and at the end of his oficial term return to the practice upon tho same terms he now has he is willing to accept the commissionership. Those who have talked to Major Warner and llis professional partaer siace the inter- view vith the president this morning, before the latter left for Déer park, where he is ta rewain ten days or two weeks, believe that be will arrange his business satisfactorily and that the commissionership will be in the Missourian's hands withwn a week. FLETCHER'S CASE WILL BE REVERSED. There are reasons for believing that the report from Chicago about the reversal of the finding in the Fletcher court martial is correct. It is true, as stated yesterday by General Schofleld, that the papers have not yet reached tho secretary of war, but it is true ulso that the decision of tho court is not satfsfactory to the ofiicers here, and it is believed that General Scho field will recommend its reversal. Till the case comes from the president nothing oficial or really reliablé cin “be’learned. General Schofleld has reviewed the finding and has written his recommendation. The fact that the papers require presidential action 18 conclusive evidence that the court found him guilty and sentenced him to dis- missal from the service. There is strong in- fluenco at work, however, to save him his commission, and the gencral impression among war depurtment officials is that the gentence will be amended very materiallys THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. : ‘There is just enough of truth in the ra- ports that an undercurreut of fecling exists among some of the republican leaders in Ohio toward Governor Foraker 10 make the epmpaign waging there of special interest in Washington. General Grosvenor, who is one of the oldest members of congress trom that state, and who was removed by Gov- ernor Foraker from one of the state boards a year or more ago on account of a criticism he made of the governor, has been here a couple of days, He declares tnat his open- g speech, in which he paid the democratic candidate for governor a high personal com- pliment, was wise politics. “I think that Foraker will win but not by abusing his opponent, but rather on account of the merit of the campaign,” said he to- day. Bx-Speaker Keifer, of Ohio, who was talk- ing to General Grosvenor at the time the latter spoke said: *‘Foraker will be electea. I think Grosvenor is right in taking the posi- tion that Campbell, the democratic candi- date, is a strong adversary, and that we should not heap abuse upon him. We can win without it. There are republicans heré who say talk of this character is born of a secret desire to see Foraker beaten, and that belief is what gives zest to the compaign in Obhio from this distance. Generals Grosyvenor and Keifer are both working like Trojans for Foraker, but they are working upon their own plans, which may not be those of the governor. Major McKinley, who is s leading candi- date for the speakership of the next house of representatives, has been in the east some days, but has gone to his home in Ohio to take the stump for Foraker. There is not the same ground for suspecting his loyalty to Foraker that there is for suspecting Sher- man, Grosvenor and Keifer. McKinloy said before starting west: ‘I have not the least doubt that' Foraker will be re- elected and that the legislature will be safely republican. The retirement of Commis- sioner Tanner will not injurs the republican ticket in Ohio, although the democrats will work it for all it is worth, No, I must not tall of my chauces for the speakership, Cer- tainly I hove and expett to be elected. But there are other gentiemen who aspire to the position and their views are as worthy in every respect as mine.” . COX'S BSTATE, The late representative “Sunset” Cox was alarge owner of real estate in this city. Shortly before leaying for his western trip early this summer he- had arranged for the erection of two residencés on Twentieth street near O strect. The mew houses are i the rear of the Arne Swme residence, which he recently purchased on Dupont circle. He had occupied this house before his appoint- ment as minister to Turkey, and upon leav- ing the country he sold it. Upon his return and his election to congress he decided to build a house here. The ground fronting on New Hampshire avenue and adjoining his former residence ou the south was pur- chased and he built & handsone house there which he occupied last winter. Last spriog he bought back his former residence. His real estate interests in that one locality probably amounts to over $1,000,000, ANMY NEWS.

CnroAao, Sept. 14.—[Special ‘velegram to Tnr Bee.]—Serator Farwell has just re turned from his western tour with the sen- ate committes that is investigating the dressed beef question. “I will say,” smd he, to-day, “that tho committee is satisfiod with its work. At Kansas City the big packers responded to the committee's sum- mons and testified freely, drawing back only when matters of a puroly private nature were approached. Mr. Armour, for in- stance, when questioned as to the profits of his business, said that ho was puerfectly will- g to submit his balance sheat to the com- mitteo for private inspoction, but whea Sen- ator Vest stated that if submitted at all the facts must bo published, Mr. Armour said he would put his baiance sheet in his pocket, and he did. I think he acted properly, too. No man would want his private business made public property. But, on the whole, the committee secured valuable testimony at Kansas City. Our inquiries received ready responses and the facts developel were inter- osting and important.” “‘Cannot you state the conclusion which you reached as a result of the inquiry?” “Well, in a word, overproduction is the cause of the depression wnich we were in- vesugating, This was brougnt out by the questions which I put myself, and Tam satis- tied that the whole thing is accounted for by this simple theory.” “But that doesn’t account for the increased cost, of beef to consumers, does it?” “No, but that point was also explained very satisfactorily by a witness, who showea thu it was due to the present wethod of cutting up the carcass of a bullock. ‘The choico cuts have been very much reduced, and thus a much larger proportion of the beef is sold at a cheap rate, some at 2 cents a pound. What is lost 1n the weight of the choice cuts is made ap in the price which the consumer pavs. The witness said that everybody wanted the choice cuts and would tuke no other, the poor being as fastidious as the rich.” Turning from the beef question to politics, the reporter asked what the senator thought of Corporal Tanner's resignation, “1 think there was no other way out of the difficuity,” said he. “The differences be-. tween him and Secretary Noble were of such @ nature that one or the other had to go, and Mr. Tanner has gone. I donot know a thing about the charges against Mr. Tanner, and I have no opinion to express on the merits of the case.” — - COLORED Bay 8 EXCITED. The Recent Outrage Very Warmly Discassed. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 14.—The negro Bap- tists resumed their discussion of the outrages again to-day. Rev. Mr. Jordan, of Missis- sipp), made a speech deprecating the remarks advocating violence in return for southern wrongs, as it places a mass of helpless col- ored people at the mercies of the criminal classes of the south, Others of the Missis- sipp1 delegation talked in the same vein, and resolutions were finally introduced and adopted to the effect that the colored people desire to cultivate frienaly relations with those among whom they live. President Love made a speech retelling the stery of the as- sault upon himsel?, and said the passage of the resolution would make it appear that there had been no outrages and that he had made false statements, This caused much excitement and the vote was reconsidered and the resolution tabled. The members of the Mississippi delegation insisted, however, upon their names going en record as being opposed to violence, and this was allowed. A CRIME AGAINST LABOR. North Adams Shoe Manufactni Threaten to Employ Chinese. NomTi ADAMS, Mass., Sept. 14.—|Special ‘Pelegram to Titk Bk, | —Tis town is greatly excited over the threat of the shoe manufac- turers to introduce Chinese labor into the big factories. For a month past a general strike has been in progress here by the lnsters und Knights of Labor hands over a reduction of wages, which, the mill agents declarc, was rendergd necessary by dull trade and west- ern competition, ‘The factories have now been idle for over , & fort- night, resulting in a great loss to the companies. Presidenv C.T. Sampson, of the Sampson Manufacturing company, a fow days since presided at a meeting of the munufacturers, and spoke of his experience with Chinese, their great faculty of imita- tion, steady habits and cheapness, and urged that the mills be fllea with them, claiming that in a week they would be competent workmen, The meeting thought favorably of his statement and entered into @ contract with the Six Companics in San Francisce relative to procuring the 10,000 necessary hands. What decision has been reached 18 unknown, but the news, becoming known, has made the strikers wild, and they are threatening incendiarism and everything else, if the Chinese are imported.

These errors are sad to have resulted from an effort to increase the work of the clerks beyond their capacity. PAGES. DELAY AGAIN THE rouLICY. Western Freight Assoclation Slow in Deating With St. Paul Rates. Cit1oaGo, Sept. 14 —[Spocial Telogram to Tue Bee.]—The policy of delay is again being onacted by the Western Froight asso- clation. The ronds individually are wiliing to say what they will do in meeting the out rates by the Burlington & Northern, Col- lectively thoy have put off the final settle- ment of the mattor unvit Monday. At the beginning of the morning session the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City asked for dolay until the afternoon 8o that General Manager Egav, of that road, could be heard from, The delay was grantod, but it brought no word from Egan. During the afternoon session the ' North- western, St. Paul, Rock Island, Illino's Con- tral and Towa Central gave notice that they would moet the 40-cont local basis made by the Burlington & Northern. The Wisconsin Central was not represented at the meeting, but will undoubtedly meet the rate. The Northwestern reduction will go into effect the samo day as that of the Burlington & Northern—September 18, The rates will be made by tho other roads on the 19th, Noth- ing was sad about the reduction in the through rate to 15 couts, nono of the lines moeting it at prosent. There has boen little through trafiic, however, and the reduction is not consideral one-tenth as much as that in local rates. Said a momber of the assoc- ation at the adjournment this evening: “The reduction 18 severe and will bust some of the lines Ladly.~ ‘Those of us which have lines to the Missouri river are teyin 10 localize the breals, but we are fearful of the action of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kunsas City. That line has repeatedly threatened to carry northwestern reductions to the Missouri river, and if it does this time our visions of all the paying trafiic we could handle wonldgo a-glimmering. We are hope- ful, uowever, that the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City will make its fight before a divis- ion of traffic 1n the Inter-State Railway asso- ciation, It can have all the business it wants if it don’t cut Missouri river rates. The St. Paul reduction in locals is the most serious made by the Chicago roads in three years. In view of all the circumstances I see 1o way for an advance in the rates. We will be satistied if the thing don’t spread.” Criicaco, 5 tion of the Chi- cago, Burlington & Northera road in reduc- ing the freight rates between Chicago uud St. Paul to a 40-cent basis claimed the undi- vided attention of the representatives of tho western ana northwestern lines to-day. The Burlington & Northern evideutly calculated that thoy would have reduced rates in fare at least one day before competitors, but the other roads refused to sce the matter in that light and_all the rates will come down to- gether. There scems no doubt that Mis- souri river rates will aiso be pulled down, but the most serious result will probably be the reduction in the Iowa distance tariff. A RAY Or SUNSHINE. The Storm Over, But There is Much Anxiety Still. New York, Sept. l4.—Rays of sunshine have at’last broken through the heavy clouds and New Yorkors fe congratulating them- selves that the storni” which has ramained with them since Monday 1ast has gone. The feeling of uneasiness in shipping oir- cles as to the safety of many vessels at sca - during the storm remains the same as ever. There are sev- eral New York steamers and sailing vessels overdue, snd as telegraphic communication between here and a number of ports remains cut off, it is impossible to leurn anything for the present. *The pilot boat David Carll this morning brought mto quarantine the captain and crew, eleven in all, of the German bark Urna. The bark hailed from Wilmington and when off Harnegat, was stove in by heavy seas, The David Carll tried to tow her in, but shortly after getting a line to her the burk capsized. A rough estimate of the loss to shipping by the late storm, made by an officer of the maritime exchange this morning, showed that fully §1,250,000 damage has been done. The number of vessels known to have been wrecked greatly exceeds the first expecta- tions of shipping men and many more ves- sels ure yet to be heard from.

SEVEN MILLIONS THE PRIZE, A Shamoless Attempt to Wreok the Meoyer Eitate. EXPOSED BY A NEWSPAPER, The Part That Staynor, His Partner Playod. AN OLD BENEFACTOR DUPED, The Young Napoleon of Finance Proves Himself ths Groat Mas- of-of the Whole nited States, A Great Consmracy. New Youk, Sept. 14.—The Evening Sun in it lust edition prints a sensational story of an attempt to rob the estato of the late Christopher Meyer of $7,000,000 by means of forgery, and charges Honry S, Ives with the crime. The Sun headlines are as follows: “Ives as a forger. Details of s bold scheme to rob Christopher Moyor's estate, Seven million dollars was the booty. Ives traced the dead man’s initials ana Staynor touched them up. Perjury but an incident. The mastwr thief calmly told Woodruff the detanls he was to swear to.” The Sunsays: Hen Ives, who has been 80 often and 80 truly referred to in these col- umns as the ‘‘Master Thief,” ranks high among forgurs. The narrative shows that he, by forgery of the initials, **A. C. and an M., was in a fair way to obtain $100,000 in cold cash, and to oven a till which contained something more than $7,000,000, Ives added to his previous crimes that of forgery in the latter part of last Decomber. This fact is published to-day for the first time and can be substantiated whenever it shall become ne- cessary, For several years back Meyer had had dealings with Staynor which had resulted in a loss to Meyer of about $100,000, Staynor was indebted for about that sum to Meyer. Aftor going into insolvency he compromised the debt leaving a balance of many thousand dollars unpaid. When Staynor & Ives be- came squeezed for funds Staynor bethought himself of a novel and effective experiment for recapturing old man Meyer’s confidence and making him a contributor to the scheme in which he had embarked with the thieving After drawing up the Mineral Range fund, of which Ives & Co. hud made themselves de- positories, immediately after they had got control of the road Staynor presented him- self to Meyer in a high moral attitude. He de- clared to Meyer that he had come to perform what he considered his duty as a christian and an honest man; that he was now hav- pily in funds suficient to discharge the last cant of his obligation und that it was for that purpose . he had called. Meyer from that time on gave implioit credence to all of Staynor's declarations, and was soon persuaded by him to give his nid to tho syndicate formed by Ives, Staynor & Notter. He agreed 1 re- ceive for them, when purchased and brought to New York, a total of 6,000 shares of Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton common stock at an average price not to exceed 115 per cent and to carry it for them, receiving 6 per cent for interest on his money, per ur- rangement, which was practically a loan by Meyer to that extent upon the stock since. it was agreed that ives and Staynor should cast the vote upon it at all elections of the road and ut all stockholders’ meetings. This agreement was carried out by Meyers to the letter. The stock was beld in his name dur- ing all the existence of the swindling firm of H. 8. Ives & Co., and when the incvitable oxposure and crash came it was still 8o held, The exposure of Ives and Staynor’s un- scrupulousness, the daily mention of his own name in connection with them, and a keen sense of disgrace, drove Meyer to his grave in a few months. Within three months after Meyer's death there was put into operation through Ives' agency a scheme to impoverish Meyer's estate, and to open to himself and his cone federates u mine of §7,000,000, In the fall of 1888 there was begun in an Ohio court a suit by Albert Netter against Henry 8, Ives, George H. Staynor ana the executors of the estate of Christopher Meyer for the balance of the purchase money of his syndicate interest remaining unpaid. Vol- uminous depositions in that action were taken in this city during all last fall, but only the most meagre outlines of the case were ever made public. No sooner, how- ever, had the plaintiff begun his case than the collusive character of the action wus re- vealed. Ives aud Staynor were nominally the defendants, but they were the principal witnesses whom the plaintift called to prove his claim agawnsy themselves. Neither of them was solvent, and the munifest inten- tion was to turn to the ouly responsible de- fendant—the estate of Christopher Meyer. Lo make that estate answerable it was neces- sary to prove that Meyer had been a partner of the Ives gang, aud as such was responsible for all thew losses. Meyer was dead and could deny nothing. The ready lips of Ives and Staynor swore with affected reluctance to everything essential to prove his partner- ship. ‘Pigey produced duplicates of wll their own letters to Meyer, which, if accepred, would nave made hima partner. But un- fortunately for the scheme, outsige of their own declarations they could prove no accopt. ance by Meyur of their offers. Ives appre- ciated the dificulties of the situation and proceeded characteristically to overcome them, [t was necessary to produce some writing binding Meyer, None such was in existence, and the very fuct of such a thing had been discluimed by Ives and Swynor i their depositious. But toa “Napoleonic? mind such obstacles are trivial. If the doo. ument did vot exist it must be made o ex- 1st. The project wus no sooner conceived than executed. Facilities were not wanting, Btaynor had been an engraver io his youth, Ives himself was not unskillful with the pen, Accordingly at the next meeting there was voluntarily produced by Staynor a document which met ull the conspirators’ reauire- wents, Without the slightest prior sugges. tiou It was sprung into being fully mawred and ready for business, Of course it clearly showed Meyer Lo be u partner of [ves, Stay- nor & Netter, aud thercfore responsible for all claims againsy them to the full extent of his estate. o A un reporter this moruing had an inters view with Ives, and he still insists that the initials were genuine, i
