QUEER STORY FROM CHEYENNE COUNTY Cuwt Williama Alloges that While Located | at Lodge Pole Two Years Ago e Was Roughly Uand July 10.--(Speelal)—To the Lincoln Excise board a maan named Cash Willlams has (old a rathor sensational story. 1 involves the eharacter of one of the police officers of the city, Jack Fushia, Williams nays that some time in August, two years | ago, he was selling organs in the northwest, his headquarters being at Lodge Pole, Chey- enne county. He claims t in order to do a thriving business in that locality it was necessary to resort to bribery. Fushia, he mys, was acquainted in the neighborhood and he employed bim as an agent to “‘sugar up” the refractory school board officials, who refused to purchase organs when requested to do so0. Fushia had told hiMt where to place money where [t would do the most good As a result of the “sugaring” process he had sold threo us to schools In that | locality. Shortly after this he was assafled by a mob, taken away from his boarding house, and furnished with a coat of tar, after which he was rolied in a load of wheat. The mob, he avers, also took from him notes aggregating $500 and $75 tn cash. These he never recovered, although tho amounts of all But one note were subsequently secured by nis firm. Williams claims that Fushia was & prominent factor In the mob. He says that when he went to Cleyenne to have the parties prosecuted he was informed by the county attorney that there was an or- ganized gang there, and that an attempt at prosccution would be useless. Fushia’s story to the excise board, it is sald, completely refutes many of the alleged Causes of tils trouble, while agreeing in the main with the details, Fushia says that Williams had manifested an unhealthy pen- chant for the soclety of young girls, and that the mobbing was due to that fac He had been warned to leave town, but had de- flantly refused, and supplemented his refusal Wwith a number of vile insinuations against the purity of the women of that nelghbor- hood. Then it was that Willlams had been rolled in tar and subsequently in a load of wheat. Fushia denies having had any hand In the affair. The excise board has taken the names of a number of parties living in that vicinity, and will write them for further particulars. PREFERRED THE PEN.

PREVENTING LOSSES FROM BAD DEBTS Collection ¥ for the Handling of Country Checks—Money Questiom One of Primal lmportance to the Bankiog World. SARATOGA, July 10.—The New York State Bankers' association began its second aunual Cornwell of Buffalo, president of the assocla- tion. He said in part: “Losses from bad debts are by far the most dangerous of all those things which tend to sap the surplus and dividends of banks. The estimated fig- ures of losses from this source are appalling and would be still more so if they could be definitely ascertained. The confidential atement of his condition by the borrower is a long step toward that close relationship which should exist between the banker and his alient. ““A committee on country clearing houses has been appointed to take up the question of collection of country checks. Bankers everywhere are aroused to the fact that this important source of profit, the charge for collection, has been neglected and revenue practically glven away. While the low margins of profit from interest continue, the expenses of running the business keep up. Charges for collection should be en- forced in justice to all. We expect from the committee referred to substantial progress in this direction. The fleld is ideal. A state divided into groups to be subdivided into clearing houses for country checks—uniform schedules of rates, with pro rata participa- tion in profits, “I think our association is now large enough and strong enough to begin to co- operate with other state assoclations system- atically on the broad questions which interest us all and I suggest this for your considera- tion as a part of next year's work. THE MONEY QUESTION. “In the great question of the day, the ques- tion of currency, the question of money, the association has shown a wholesome though not yet aggressive interest. 1 am of the opinion that our group meetings should here- atter include discussions of the currency and of the public events affecting commerce, to which the public will be finvited. The bankers may thus do their part toward the education of the people, and be instrumental in bringing about that stability and scientific character so sadly lacking in our banking and financial system, and without which a vast part of our wealth, of products and of labor, are constantly wasted, and our whole commercial structure subjected to perfodical disaster. The subject of the currency has been discussed at the various group meet- ings, the members have been studying upon it and the horizon has been clearing. The banker is trained from his earliest inception in the business to regard strict honesty as the one qualification, without which “nothing else is for a moment to be considered. If the bank clerk at the very lowest round of the ladder shows the least symptom of its lack he is, or should be, dropped from his position. As he advances, trustworthiness becomes more and more the element to be looked for, and when he reaches officership the trust of the com- munity and of his assoclates in his strict integrity is the gauge of his advance. “Honesty is the bulwark of permanent prosperity. Kingdoms not founded upon it are swept away by adversity. Enter- prises which seek to avold its stringent provisions are forced into dissolution. The nation whose currency lacks the ele- ment of honesty is doomed to commercial and monetary miasma and disease through- out the entire period during which that lack continues. Dishonest currency is the hot- bed of polsonous sedition, revolution and bloodshed.” PROFITS OF THE SYNDICATE. Reports were presented by Treasurer James L. Cannon of New York, Secretary Charles Adsit of Hornellsville and'also by the eouncil of administration. An address was made by Brayton Ives, president of the Western Na- tional bank of New York City, on “The Bond Contracts.” Referring to the profits of the syndicate Mr. Ives said: “It Is not likely that under the most favorable conditions the expenses will be less than 1 per cent, so that the cost of the bonds will be $1.06 and the measure of profits will be the difference between this price and $1.12%, the figure at which the bonds were sold. Inasmuch as 5 per cent is a_customary banker's commission for the placing of a large loan, it can not be con- sidered that 6% per cent Is an excessive profit in this case, especially in view of possible additional expenses. “It is true that a considerable portion of the syndicate subscribed for the bonds when they were Issued at public sale and bought such amounts as were allotted to them. But they were simply exercising the same privi- lege as was given to all.” A paper by Mr. E. B. of Toronto, president of the Canadian Banking association, was also read. In It comparison was made of the Canadian sys- tem of banking with that of the United States, as well as the Baltfmore and Carlisle plans, Mr. Walker holding that the Canadian plun 'was more advantageous to bankers, merchants and the general ccmmunity at large than the others. Walker WAS WILLING TO LEND HIS GOLD Russin’ Kuler Made a Friendly Offer to the United States. C€HICAGO, July 10.—A special from Wash- ington o the Post says: Discussion of the gold reserve In the treasury and the action past and probable of the Morgan-Rothschild bond syndicate brought to light today that Czar Alexander III. of Russia offered to loan the United States all the gold necessary to maintain the reserve at any figure desired. The friendly tender was declined by Presi- dent Cleveland because, after several weeks of consideration and telegraphlc corre- spondence back and forth between Washing- ton and St. Petersburg, it was decided that the president had not the authority to issue bonds or otherwise incur indebtedness on be- half of the government. Since then the power of the president and the secretary of the treas- ury has been determined and if the offer were again made by the present Russian ruler it might be accepted. The story of the proposition made by the czar and the way it was receivéd by the president and his advisors was one of the best kept secrets of the white house, Although the Incident occurred some two years ago, no R WANRANA T for Infants a “ Castoria lsso welladapted to children that.

The | annual address was made by Willlam C. it of {t has reached the publte until now. It was womo time In May, 1893, that the State department was surprised by the re- colpt of a eommunication from Andrew D White, the Amertcan minister at St. Paters | burg, stating that the czar had, through M Do Glers, offsred to the president of the | United States amy amount of gold requirod {10 carry the treasury over through the pend ! ing ort Holp was ueeded at that time. ! The new administ=ation had been fu power but a fow monthy and the financial question was pressing on Mr. Cleveland for solution. Tho Wilson bill had been framed but not passed and the business of the i nlready suffering from the depression which later grew into & commercial and financlal panic. The Rold roserve in tho treasury was being depleted steadily and rapidly by the | monthly purchases of eflver bullion under the | Sherman law, aud the receipts of gold from | custa ns had fallen off o that cach month saw the treasury drained of its gold. ~The country was clamoring for reliet and the president was considering the advisability of calling congress together in an extra session— which he did subsequently—to legislate on the financial situation and to repeal the Sher | man law. | OFFER FORMALLY MADE. It was In the idst of such a situation | that Secretary of State Gresham presented at | & cabinet meeting one morning the letter he had receivad from Minister White. The czar's offer of assistance was direct but simple. Mr. White stated in his ofclal communication to the State department that he had been called upon by M. De Giers, who said the czar had instructed him to confer with the American representative at the court of St. Petersburg and to inform bim that the czar atood ready to make a personal loan to the president of the United States of gold to the amount of $50,000,000, or as much more as might be desired, at & nominal rate of interest and for an indefinite period of tims, The interest asked was a fraction more than 2 per cent. Nothing was said about security, and it was evident that Alex- ander I11. believed that the president could take this money and apply it to the needs of the United States treasury with but little formality and that he had the power to do so. It was a generous manifestation of the good will of the Russian czar toward the United States and a striking illustration of his de- sire to assist this country in any way. As it may be supposed, the letter produced a great sensation in the cabinet. The presi- dent was much affected by this evidence of esteem on the part of so powerful a per- sonage as the autocrat of all the Russias. There was something besides the friendly re- lations of the two nations involved in the offer. The czar intended his tender of financial help as a personal compliment to the president of the United States. The president and the cabinet debated the propc sition long and earnestly. Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle was in favor of accepting the loan, but he doubted the power of the president and himself to make debts for the government without special authority of con- gress. The matter was discussed at every cabinet meeting for a week or two and mesntime there was much telegraphic corre- spondence between Washington and St Petershurg _relative to the conditions on which the Russian emperor proposed to make the loan of this enormous sum. After all communications had been re- ceived and the Russian monarch's offer had been lald before the cabinet, it was evident that the czar was not bothering himself about the manner or method of the trans- actjon. Reduced to fts simplest terms, the czal's offer was that he would advance as much gold as the United States treasury might require and wowld accept as security therefor President Cleveland’s personal note until such time as congress should convene and authorize the issue of bonds. SIMPLY THROUGH FRIENDSHIP. In short, the czar wished to help the United States with a loan of $50,000,000 or more and he was not particular whether he recelved any security or not. It was to be a personal matter- with him and it was plain that he did not quite understand why the president did not treat it in the same way. One nation needed: money and the ruler of a triendly country proposed to lend the chief executive of the distressed people money to help them. It was just a friendly act re- quiring in the opinion of the czar no red tape or circumlocutory officialism. But President Cleveland and his cabinet felt, after carefully considering the proposition in_all its aspects, they could not accept it. The State department therefore o notified Min- ister White, who in turn informed M. de | Glers that ‘the American president, while profoundly grateful for the czar's kind offer, | was prevented by law from incurring obliga- | tions of this kind without the consent of | congress. The majority of the cabinet was in favor of taking the czar's loan and the president looked kindly upon the proposition. There is no doubt but for the legal objec- tions raised by one of the lawyers in the cabinet the loan would have been accepted and one probable result would have been the reduction in the rate of intercst on large loans, especially to nations. It is not improbable that when the ar- rangement with the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate shall have expired the government may apply to the Russians for a loan should one be necessary. Alexander i3 not on the throne now, but it is said that Bmperor Nicholas is quite as ardent an admirer of the United States as was his distinguished father. —————— PERSONAL PAR LG RAPHY, . K.
