LINCOLN, Oect. 27.—(Spectal)—Frank Rawlings, a wealthy liveryman, was arrested iis afternoon on a beneh warrant from Judge all's court, charging him with contempt of court in that he did willfully attempt to obstruct and impeds the administration of Justice by attempting to corruptly influence one of the jurors in the case of Lula Leavitt asinst Frank Rawlings, by writing the following note to him “Roye, hang this juree.

The county attorney declined to state just what evidence was in his .possession, or if they had secured a clue to the identity of the party who delivered the note at Juror Stewart's house. He stated, however, that there was little doubt but that the note was in_Rawlings' handwriting. This is the case where a sensation was created the other day by Juror Roy L. Stewart rising in court and giving to the Judge the note quoted above. Rawlings was arrested at 3:45 by Deputy Sherit Hoxle while he was out riding, and taken before Judge Hall. He pleaded not guilty to the Information, and was released on his own recognizance in the sum of $500 0 appear for trial Monday, November 5. Governor Waite of Colorado passed through the city at 2:10 p. m. today en route to Chi- cago. His coming had reached the ears of some of the populists early in the day, and me. pha when the train stopped at the depot there were some 500 people on the platform As soon as the train eame to a stop J. C. McNerney and J. M. Thompson, chairman and secretary of the populis. county central committee, stepped aboard, sought out Governor Waite, told him that there was a large crowd outside await- ing his appearance, and asked him to come out. He did so. Taking a position In the east door of the depot, where the brisk wind could mot get a show at his whiskers, he talked to the crowd for about 10 minutes, or until the conductor shouted his warning to get aboard. As he stepped back upon the train the crowd gave three cheers for him as a porsonal compliment, and the train pulled out amidst a manifestation of popu- listio enthusiasm. The governor confined his remarks to the silver question, but sald that out in Colorado this year the people are £oIng to demonstrate their faith in the ability of the common people to take efficient charge of the affairs of state.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Governor W. T. Thornton of New Mexico has made his an- nual report to Secretary Smith of the In- terior department. Of the general condi- tions he says: “Irrigation enterprises be- gun within the last two or three years have succeeded admirably, bringing under cultiva- tion large areas of desert land. In more than haif the counties of the territory enter- prises of importance havo been begun which Will add largely In the near future to the productiveness and prosperity of our peo- ple. The total assessed valuation of the territory is $43,430,2 the bonded debt, 3925000, and floating debt, $21891. There has been considerable railroad building; stock raising has been prosperous and shows a great increase. Mining interests have su fored from the depreciation in the price of silver and 1oad. Without irrigation agri- culture may be said o be a fallure in New Mexico, says the governor, and all scientific interests are making use of irrigation.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—Charles Powell, who was seriously injured by a bullet which his sister, Mra. Nellie Sweetman, was charged with having fired, died at 1 o'clock this morning at the county hospital. The shoot- ing occurred at the home of Mrs. Sweet- man, after the latter had come in from a drive with a friend, who It is claimed had for some time been paying special attention to her. Mrs. Sweetman, it is alleged, met her brother and exchanged hot words with him, immediately after which the shot was fired which resulted in Powell's death, The sister denies the charge, alleging that the brother fired the ball with his own hand Appearances, the police claim, would indi- cate that this is not true, as the wound was not powder burned Mrs. Sweetman was placed under arrest at the time.

BALLARD SMITH. PARIS POLICE NOT AL PURE. OMeial Investigation. (Copyrighted 1894 by Press Publishing Company.) PARIS, Oct. 27.—(New York World Cable— Speclal Telegram.)—This capital has a police scandal of its own this weck, which has caused as great a sensation here as the Lexow investigations in New York. M is the chief of the department of which has the anarchists to watch de Sangle, a former custom house officer, police M was In prison under sentence of defrauding the government of $60,000. M. Fidee took him out to dine, and somehow he escaped. | M. Fidee protests that he was unearthing a big anarchist plot, and that de Sangle was to help him in the work, but the excuse is not accepted, and further revelations of police corruption are promised, “particularly in .re- spect to tho relations of private gambling houses with the police. Notwithstanding the political bonds be- tween France and Russia no trace of anxlety boulevards, further than a lavish display in the shop windows of the portraits of the r, the czarewitch and Princess Alix. But all Paris is animated in interest in Sardou’s new play, “Gismonda,” with Sarah Bern- hardt in the leading part. In an interview the dramatist says that when contemplating a new play he takes an envelope and inserts everything which occurs to him as likely to be of use for it. “Gismonda” has taken several years of such preparation. The scene is lald in Athens in the Florentine period. The scenery will be magnificent, In politics the decadence of President Perier's popularity is the most significant incident. Almost the whole press seems to be in a conspiracy to abuse him. About the only volce raised in his behalf is that of Blowite, through the London Times, which | gives its correspondent's letter the promin- | ence of large type and special position. The principal fault Yound Is that the president is cold and loves display. He is severely blamed for driving in a state carriage with a military escort to the r Rochefort writes from his London exile: “I have been accused of comparfng Casimir-Perfer to the commander of a band of conviets. I recant. He Is simply the drill sergeant.” That is a sample of the tone of all that class of French papers toward the president. The marriage of Miss Whittier of Boston to the Russian prince, Belosselski, last Wed- nesday bhad especial interest because the bride was not compelled to remounce her religion and accept the tenets of the Greek chureh, as {8 usual in marriages of foreigners into the higher Russian nobility as well as the royalty. CHINESE DEFEATED AGAIN, Japaneso Win a Second Battle on the West Bank of the Yalu River. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 27.—The Japanese have gained a decisive victory at Kiuren over 17,000 Chinese. The enemy fled toward Antung. The Japanese captured a quantity of provi- sions. The Chinese lost 200 killed and a number wounded and many prisoners were taken. Dispatches received here confirm the re- ports of the battle between the Chinese and Japanese forces after the latter had crossed the Yalu river. It is added that the whole of the Japanese army afterward advanced northward, and that Kiuren, which was held by a large force of Chinese, was attacked on all sides. The Chinese made a desperate de- fense and the fighting was very severe Another dispatch repeats the assertion fre- quently made that the second Japanese army has landed on the east coast of the peninsula of King-Chow, upon which Port Arthur is sit- uated. The Japanese army, aceording to these dispatches, now occuples the neck of the peninsula, thus cutting off communication be- tween the port and arsenal and the main land. LONDON, Oct. 27.—The correspondent of | the Pall Mall Gazette at Che Foo cables that the fleets of China and Japan are now off the port and that a baitle is expected shortly. It 1s decidedly announced today that China is negotiating in London for a loan of £1,600,- 000. It will be a 7 per ceut silver loan and the issue price Is expected to be 95. This loan will be secured om the revenue of the treaty ports. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—United States Minister Denby, from Peking, China, tod cabled to the State department as follows: “Japanese troops entered Manchuria.” This is the first official advice that the State de- partment has had that any Japanese troops have set foot on Chinese soll, and it is sup- posed 1o refer to the fight on the Yalu and the crossing of the river by the Japanese, re- ported in yesterday's dispatches. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The Japanese le- gation today received an official cable from the home office: ‘“‘Advance column of our first army began to cross Yalu October 24 and next day, after fighting over three hours, won a signal victory at Hoos-An, near Kin-Len- Chong, the opposing army, consisting of 3,500, being nutterly routed and scattered.

What I have o far said lies at the foundation of the subject and must first be understood. MEDIUMS OF EXCH ANGE AND THEIR £} We have now current in the United States available in the purchase and sale of com: moditie and for the payment of labor the following ase old coin, V' ney. s, treasury notes, national 1 bank checks. The last four together as forms of credit lationships to real tke. The national note and the bank check may both be satisfled by the tender of greenbacks or treasury notes, while the last two are re- deemed only In coin, or in payment of pub- lie dues. In passing it may be well to note the rel- ative use of these various agencies in the practical operations of commerce and trade. No better place to determine this can be found than the counter of a bank, and the following statement of the amount of each received by a bank in this city on a recent day will indicate their relative importance in that direction: ive Gold cofn T -3 9,85 Stlver ¢ 15,826 Gold ce 1,065 Silver certifieates ... |11l Legal tender notes and greenbicks Treasury notes .. National bank note: Total cash i Checks, drafts, bills of exe! Percentage of cash to to cent. Having summarized the various forms of credit obligations operating as currenc y. let us look a little at the principle on which they are respectively based. The power to redeem greenbacks, $346,000,- 000 in quantity, rests— First—Upon $60,000,000 of gold or there- abouts in the treasury vaults, cond—Upon the ability and readiness of the government to borrow money as the oc- casion may require. Third—Upon the power of the government to_collect money by taxation. The treasyry notes rest, first, upon the promise of the government, supported by a quantity of silve: part colned, part Im"Km, purchased since 189, in payment for which these notes were issued. It is to be note that the market value of the silver bought is some §50,000.000 less than the pur- hase cost, and for this difference the power of the government to borrow or tax must be relied on. ‘The national bank note rests— byl —U'pon the financial responsibility of suing it pon the security of the United s with the Treasury department 10 per cent in excess of the face of all notes Issued. Third—Upon the government guaranty. This as to the relative merit of each in point of responsibility. Next, let us look at the pla reason of putting these credit into circulation. The greenback was issued to pay debts, t to acauire value, or, if value was r such value was either consumed ¢ ed into value not available in t The greenbaek paid soldiers and government employes; it bought powder and munitions of war. The existence of the greenback 15 the evidence of & debt not paid. It is a lien upon the future. A national bank note, on the contrary, is the evidence of some existing value which lies somewhere as collateral for its redemp- tion. To transfer such values is the on Yy ordinary and proper occasion which calls for their issue. e volume in which they appear marks the rise In prices or an in. creasing quantity of existing things. L the bank check, they will be in active sery- fce when tradé and commerce are active. Thus they enjoy the principle of el sticity wholly lacking in any ssible form of df- rect government gsua. e method of their retirement is wholly different and subjects the trade and commerce of the country to less dangerous strain. EFFECT OF GOLD EXPORTS. To (lustrate: We have lately witnessed a movement of gold to the other side of Atlantic. We need not now inquire f cause of that movement. When it began {ho Ireasury was possessed of more than $100,000,00 of gold. To meet the movement those concerned found the easiest means in resenting greenbacks and treasury notes or redeniption. In the course of this busi: ness 350,000,000 in_bonds were Sold by the Treasury department, but notwithstandin this addition to Ite gid stock its suppiy o old was reduced to the danger polnt of g«uw,om before the movement ceased Now, it 18 to be speclally noticed that the n, method and various forms of market | tificates, which | 09 in silver certifica transfer of the first 0,000,000 had no direct aring n trade'of commerce whatever, The reserve stock of gold was dead an lifeless In the treasury while there; jts re moval out of the cpuntry was in itself quite mless.

By their use a dangerous volume of inferior money has found an abnormal use. They are the most perplexing feature in the much-involved problem of = our natlonal finances.

The information it might gather would be of immense value to all | our people, and would guide us to wise legislation. Emotion and sentiment are not safe guides In matters of science. A clear apprehension of true principles will lead to correct action. After Mr. Gage resumed his speech, Prosi- dent Baker, in a happy little speech, called upon A. P. Hepburn, ex-comptroller of the United States, and. now the president of the Third National bank of New York, who took for his subject the necessity for a new cur- rency law. In the course of his speech Mr. Hepburn took exception to the plan of placing the railroads and the telegraph sys- tems of the country under governmental control. He believed the majority of the people would object to having several hun- dreds of thousands put on the pay rolls of the government, and did not think that in- creased efficiency of the service would fol- low an ownership vested in the government He declared emphatically against free colnage and paid his respeets to “wild cat” currency In a most vigorous manner. He urged upon the business men of the country that they do not leave the subject of the currency and the financial situation of the country to the politician and demagogue, but take hold of it themselves in such a manner that the country will be certain of such an cutcome as the conditions demand. SOUNDNESS THE FIRST REQUISITE. After’ Mr. Hepburn came Hon. J. H. Eck- els, comptroller of the currency, who spoke on “The National Curre * Mr. Eckels said that he had not prepared a speech and would content himself with a few extempo- raneous suggestions as to what might be ccomplished In a political way. Our cur- rency system as it now exists (s sadly de- ficlent. ~ There has not been introduced in either house of congress within the memory of most of those present at this moeting, said the comptroller, a single law upon the currency but that has had for its sole aim and desire the creation of a large volume of currency. Guided by this and ls- tening to the advocates of such a policy, we find the _ people losing sight of the fact that the volume of the currency {s of the least importance, but that which makes for the public good in th currency of the country is the soundness thereof. A large volume of currency lacking in soundness is always a souroe of public evil. This club, sald Mr. Eckels cannot un- dertake a better work than to educate the people by spoken word or written documents —with all the resources at their command in sound monetary principles. At the conclusion of Mr. Eckels' remarks a resolution wad unanimously adopted favor- ing the creation of a national committec neutral in politics, to thoroughly study th present mouetary system of the country with a view to its simplification and im- provement.

Howgate was before the district court of the district today and through Attorney A. 8. Worthington withdrew his plea of not gullty to all the Indictments entered against him in October, 1881, and entdred a demur. | rer to each and all of them. There are seven indictments for embezzlement and four for forgery. To the embezzlement indictments the de- murrers are to the effect that the facts avered in the indictment constituted no offense under the laws in force in the Dis- trict of Columbia prior to the filing of the indictment: that they do not state any of- fense of which the court has jurisdiction and are too general and uncertain in allega- tion. The forgery demurrers were of much the same purport, want of definiteness being alleged. | 1 1 —_— Upper Missouri Nuvigusion Closed. CHAMBERLIN, 8.
