Rfforts to amend Mr. | ity were | Crisp’s resolution were voted down, one of | was within the | the adverse votes showing only thirteen mem- | e to execute by requiring | pors of the caucus favorable to an issue of All of | Ponds to retire the grecnbacks. The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable ap- prehension by friends of the bill notwith- standing the passage of the resolution of en- | dorsement. The eighty-one votes which the | measure commanded in caucus is far short | of the number necessary to pass it in the house. It is the belief, however, that many | of the Afty-nine votes recorded against the The | Fesolution will be changed, now that the Car- lisle bill has the prestige of the caucus en- dorsement. But there were several prominent leaders who asserted the close of the | caucus that the vote showed conclusively that | the bill could not pass. The caucus was called together at 2 o'cloc With Mr. Holman in the chair. All of the party leaders of the house, including Speaker Crisp and Messrs. Catchings, Outhwaite, Springer, Wilson, Tracey and Bland, and the democratic members of the banking and cur- rency committee, were on hand. There we 162 members present. Mr. Cockran of New York statd early in the day that it the to be binding he would not enter as understood that others would pursue the same course. As assurances were given that the caucus would be advisory rather than binding, Mr. Cockran and his associates concluded to attend. The issue of the caucus was sharply pre- sented by tho resolution prepared by Mr. Springer and introduced by Mr. Crisp, as follows: “Resolved, That It Is the sense of this caucus that the Carlisle currency bill should be passed by the house of representatives sub- stantially as presented in the substitute, which has been printed in the Record and which will be offered at the proper time by the chalrman of the committee on banking and currency, ard that the committee on rules be requested to report an order tomor- row, immediately after the reading of the Journal, which shall provide for its consider tion for one more day for genc debate, d - thereafter under the five minute rule and a final -vote thereon at the nearest time practicable during the week. LIVINGSTONE STIRRED THEM UP, Representative Livingstone of Georgia started the caucus at a lively rate by moving that all who were in attendance should ba bound by the action of the caucus. From various parts of the hall came cries of “Point of order,” and for a time there was considerable confusion, Chairman Holman finally sustained the point of order. “For thirty years,” said Mr. Holman, “it has been the unbroken rule in the house of representatives to consider the action of a caucus as advisory and not as binding. It leaves members entirely free to act according to their own Judgment."” It was agreed that all_speeches should be limited to five minutes. Mr. Crisp then rose in support of the resolution he had offered. Ho spoke of the profound importance of the situation in which the majority of the house found itself. It called for conservative and careful action and a united party. The resolu- tion was designed to test the gentiment of the caucus on the vital point involved, whether the currency bill now before the house should pass. Mr. Bland followed in opposition to the resolution. — “We have now reached the point,” said he, “when the democratic party, for the first time in its history, is asked to become the advocate of national banks.” He urged his specific objections to the bill, heing. interrupted frequently by calls of “‘Vote, vote."” Mr. Springer next took the floor in support of the resolution. He spoke mainly of the importance of a caucus insuring the adhesion of members. While caucus action was not binding, it was nevertheless regarded as very persuasive on the judgment of members when party actlon was involved. The present emergency must be met by the democratic party as a whole, “Tho responsibility 1s on the party,” said be, “and the people will hold the party ac countable for its action. In such an emergency caucus action should be very effective in bringing members of the party together and overcoming minor objections.”’ SPRINGER'S TIME EXTENDED. Mr. Springer's time was extended to ten minutes, in view of his being in charge of the Dill. There was a lively interchange of ques- tions and answers between Mr. Cockran of New York and Mr. Springer before the latter closed. Mr. Cockran asked if Mr. Springer did not regard: the currency question as an economic rather than a party question, a question which never should have been sub- mitted to party caucus action. Mr. Springer replied that the question was both a party and an economic question, but in the present case the party would be re- sponsible for the exscution of economle prin- ciples. There was much confusion as the cross fire between Messrs. Springer and Cock- ran proceeded, and Chairman Holman tried vainly to preserve order and quiet. Brief speeches were made by Representa- tives Cox of Tennessce, Coombs of New York, Bailey of Texas, Swanson of Virginia, Coffeen of ‘Wyoming, McRao of Arkansas, Washington of Tennessee, Bryan of Nebraska and Sperry of Connecticut. They showed a very wide divergence of individual views, Mr. Sperry closed his remarks by offering an amendment to the pending resolution by which the Sperry bill for an issuo of bonds to refund the greenbacks was to be substi- tuted as the one on which the caucus was to express its approval, Mr. Johnson of Ohlo, a member of the banking and currency committee, followed in opposition to the resolution and to the Car- lisle bill. Mr. Terry of Arkansas also submitted an amendment proposing as the sense of the caucus a bill authorizing each state to buy silver bullion to the amount of $1 for cach Inhabitant and send the same to the United States.treasury to be coined and returned to the several states, This closed the speech making and the sub- mission of amendments and voting began, The Terry amendment was voted on first and was defeated— 64 to 64, The Sperry amend- ment was also defeated—13 to 70. The last vote was regarded as significant, in showing the limited strength of the plan to issuc | bonds to retire the greenbacks, The thirteen Yotng for the amendment were : Messrs, Sperry of Connecticut, Harter of Ohio, Strauss of New York, Brickner of Wisconsin, Wells of Wisconsin, Coombs of New York, Lockwood of New York Fielder of New Jersey, drix of New York, Tracey of New York, McAleer of Pennsylvania, DeForest of Con. necticut and Plerson of Ohio, The question then recurred on the original resolution to endorse the Carlisle substitute bill. It was decided to divide tho resolution | 0 as to have separate votes on the endorse ment of the bill and on the instructions to the committee on rules. The first part, en- dorsing the bill, was carried by a vote of 81 to 59. The second part, directing the rules committee to bring in a rule tox TOW, was adopted without division, and the caueus | adjourned.

Ritchle of Akron, 0., a wealthy eitizen and pitalist of that section. While directed mainly at Judge Ricks, they indifectly affect States Senator Payne of Cleveland. Mr. Ritchie gives the names of a formidable array of counsel in Washington who have been retained in his | behalt. These Include Messre, Hemphill, Shellabarger & Wilson and Butterworth of Washington; Keruch & Co. of Cleveland and Judge Upson and Messrs. Green, Grant & Lieber of Akron The charges involve losses reaching $6,000,- 1 in memorial covery of valuable copper and nickel deposits at Sunbury Junction, in Canada, by the memorialist, in 1886, which have becon of world-wide fame and have supplied all the nickel for armor plates used in the United States navy and by Buropean government In order to develop them, to organize corpora tions and to build a connecting railway, he says he assoclated himselt with Stevenson Burke, Henry B.

The ¢ tions were known as the Canadian C company nd An American Iron company, with principal offices at Cleveland, Mr. Ritchis says in 1889 he negotlated in England for t sale of the property for $15,000,000, when his petition alleges his associates *‘commenced to put into execution a thoroughly planned and infamous scheme to rob himself and his wife, who had the largest interest.” To assist them in their designs, it is charged Judge Ricks prostituted his office and became their subservient and pliant tool. Mr. Ritchic says that while he was confined to his bed in 1858, and unable to attend to his business, James B. and George W. Mullin of Ontario, secured judgment in Can- ada on a contraci by which he was to pu chase from them certain flroad bonds, and brought suit in the circuit court of the north- ern district of Ohio and secured judgment. According to the memorial, it was after- wards discovered that a large part of the coupons which the McMullins had agreed to deliver had been stolcn Ly them from the Central Ontario railw acted as his attorne; Burke professed to defend the case, but called a meeting of Payne and Cornell, whom Ritchie terms conspirators, at which they agreed to appropriate to themselves securi ties worth $2,500,000 belonging to Mr. Ritchie and deposited with them in connection with their mutual Canadian interests, appropriat- ing them ostensibly to prevent them from beng seized under the McMuilin judgment, and then entered into agrcement with the McMullins, who later should file a_creditor's bill in the court over which Judge Ricks presided and which they hoasted would sus- tain their interests. It Is alleged to have been a part of the agreement that Burke, Payne and Cornell were to be made partie to “the bill and the securities in their pos session brought into court, In furtherance of this plan, it is alleged, his partners defeated the sale for $15,000,000; ar- ranged, planned the destruction of the market valuo of the properties, and fraudulently transferring to themselves stocks owned by him, elected Burke president of the company. The books of the company, which contained an accurate statement of his standing, he charged Judge Ricks with withholding from him, refusing permission to his attorne inspect them, acting from corrupt motives and in the face of the fact that for elght years no statement of the company had been mada as required by law. Bvery other party to the suit, it is declared, had free access to them. Harry P. McIntosh and Samuel B. Willlam- son were interested also as attorneys in the suit. “The interest of these parties was as individuals and attoneys, when this viclous ruling of Judge Ricks was made,” the memorial continues, “and when the ¢l rges preforred by the Central Labor union of Cleveland against Judge Ricks were recently on hearing before the committee appointed by the house of representatives, we find cvery one of the attorneys flying to the rescue of Judge Ricks. We find them also writing to members of congress and laboring with them to prevent any report being made which would be a truthful statement of Judge Ricks’ conduct as shown by his own books. “ph onduct shows too plainly the re'a- tions which exist between Judge Ricks and the corrupt parties whom he had protected from being convicted by their own books and records, as he himself has been shown (o bo guilty and corrupt by the methods of his office.” Other specifications are that all books of the corporation were shipped from Ontario to the United States to get them within the Jurisdiction in Judge Ricks' court; that he made the ruling refusing Ritchie access to the books without notice or opportunity for hearing, and without notice to his attorneys dismissing Mr. Ritchle as a party.
