that the Introduction of this now savings

AVar Department Doe * \ot Control.
WASHINGTON- , April 22. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Bun. ] General Grant , assistant sec
retary of war , said today that the war de
partment had absolutely no control whatever
over the apportionment of funds by the Alis-
sourl river commission. This apportionment
has brought out numerous protests of lato.
One of the most emphatic came from Kansas
City , It declared that the commission was
discriminating airalnst some localities , par
ticularly that In the neighborhood of Kansas
City , and was favoring other localities rc-
mete from Kansas City. General Grant
says that ho has written to tlio pro-
tcstants , stating that in the tirst
place the apportionment of the
commission appears to bo eminently fair , the
protcstants appear to bo misinformed upon
the amounts which various parts of the river
urn to receive nnd their protests arise from a
misunderstanding. General Grant's letter
shows how the amount is distributed along
the river. In conclusion ho says that the
Missouri commission is a creation of congress
over which the war department has no super
vision in the matter of apportionment. The
commission reports to the department nnd
ilio machinery of the commission Is carried
into effect by the department , but there Is no
power to revise the work of the commission.
So far ns the war department is concerned
tlio Missouri river or the Mississippi river
commission could maUo any arbitrary and
unfair apportionment which they saw lit ,
although General Grant believes that such a
condition of affairs docs not exist In the pres
ent case.

LONDON , April 22. [ Special Cablegram to

searching Investigation Into the causes of the
mutinous conduct in the Third battalion of

more than appears on too surface and that
the outbreak was not as spontaneous ns that

The English foreign oftlco was notlflcd
from Germany recently of a socialistic propa
ganda addressed especially to the armies of
western Europe and England , ns well as Ger
many nnd other nations , was llxod for this
Kind of proselytism. The war ofllco has
since been especially vigilant to detect
any ground for alarm , but until Tuesday
there was no reason to appretond discontent
among the troops. It Is now said that at
heart some of the men who are active In
egging on their comrades have boon patrons
of republican literature and have had consid
erable to say in advocating the principles of
socialism. On the other hand thcro Is no
doubt that these men have cause for com
plaint , owing to the severity of discipline and
the martinet methods of their oillccrs , to
whom the fate of Colonel Maltland of the
Second battalion seems to hnvo proved n

M KtectJtl.
CINCINNATI , O. , April 22. The league con
vention was late In convening nnd many del
egates were not in the hall when President
Thurston called It to order. A big box of
American tin plate , forwarded by Congress
man Noldringhntis of St. Louis , was placed
on the stage and a lively scramble for the
possession of tlio brilliant souvenirs fol
lowed. The secretary read a number of let
ters received. The reading was runctuntcd
wltn frequent applause , but whoa n letter
was announced from the president nf the
United States the delegates cheered again
and again , and finally they rose
on masse , waving handkerchiefs and papers
and cheering until tlio hall reverberated
with the enthusiastic outburst. President
Harrison regretted his Inability to bo present
nnd said the convention of the republican
party and the legislation of the past congress
very clearly defined nnd very courageously
presented the Issues upon which the next
contest must bo waged.To these con
ventions' declarations I gave the assent
of deep conviction nnd to the im
portant legislation of the last con
gress my earnest support. If the
people of the United States will now give
the world to understand that protection and
enlargement ot our domestic Industries nnd
extension of our foreign trade by reciprocal
arrangements Is not Inconsistent with a pro
tective policy and that the revival of our
merchant marine by methods that all other
nations use Is our settled policy , wo will
speedily. I am sure , realize marvelous de
velopment and renewed prosperity. "
Hon. J. S. Clarkson of Iowa said : "The
party at largo looks to thh convention with
eager Interest. It will set up n stand
ard of victory for 1802. It will be
faithfully representative of what is In
the hearts and ambition of the pcoplo.
It will regard not merely statesmanship ,
commerce nnd money , but also statesman
ship and humanity those questions lying
nearer the hearts of the American people
than the price of a tin oup or whether the
color of the money of tbo realm shall bo yel
low or white. Greater questions are these
of human liberty , protection of the weak in
their rights , insurance under the constitution
of a republican form of government to sev
eral states now without it nnd as absolute
security and peace to tbo poorest citizens and
families on the Yazoo as to the richest citizen
on the Hudson. The republican party still
has grout and mighty tuincs to do. As long
as democracy lives nnd resists the full inter
pretation and concession of the rights of all
men , republicanism mustllve and call Its work
unfinished. Unsettled questions have no
pity for the repose of nations , and neither the
betraying cowardice of thu senate , moro care
ful of commerce than ot human right ? , nor
'the stranger apa"tKy"8T ° the pew-holding ro-
"llglon which covota tho.ijegro foi-jheuven , but
Is dumb to his wrongs In polities ( if this" hfo
can finally avail nor long delay their full and
righteous settlement. There are great ques
tions for the republican party to settle in
national affairs and domestic concerns. The
question of labor and a larger reward to labor
through the encouragement and promotion of
practical systems of co-operation nnd prolit-
sharlnpr is one peculiarly to incite the am
bition of the republican party , the great
est and most faithful friend American
labor has had. A revision of" the
banking system' Is something that
some political party is going to do very soon ,
and the republican party , best of all , can set
tle It and best protect the national honor and
commercial safety in doing It. Just repres
sion of tbo power of corporations and syndi
cated wonltn , nnd particularly some wisdom
In law to prevent or curb the menacing evils
to the common good rapidly growing out of
abuses of public corporations for private ben
efit is demanded. The now ml dangerous sys
tem by which money is not only syndicated ,
but made immortal in its lifc.in bulk and profit
is another great question , and no party has
the heart , brains and conscience to scttlo it
as wisely and Justly as the republican party.
Money should have Its rights , but money has
too many rights when aggregated , and the
speculation wealth in ono city can depress
nil values In the country , and when one rich
man can smite all the banks of the land
wltn palsy nnd leave them helpless to care
for business interests and the llnancl.il credit
of their oxvn communities It Is the solemn
duty of the republican party to enact Just
laws to stop all trespass of wealth on the
rights of tlio pcoplo. These problems to bo
settled for thu future are such as to engage
the ambition of all good men nud especially
all young men , to whom particularly the re
publican party , Just now entering upon its
second generation of life , must now commit
its fortunes.1'
Among other letters read were those of
Senator John Sherman , Senator Mamierson ,
Secretary Foster and William M. Evarts.
The committee on resolutions , through
Judge Webster of Nebraska , presented its
report. The resolutions honor the memory
of General Sherman , Admiral Porter and
Secretary Wlndom ; endorse the course of
Speaker Hoed ; favor protection and reci
procity ; declare emphatically for free ballot
nnd fair count ; remember the claims of the
soldiers , and declare the aim of the league to
bo the dissemination of the principles and
doctrines of the republican party ns fash
ioned by the teachings of its greatest loaders.
The following clauses nro in full :
Wo endorse the wise , statesman-like , cour
ageous uiitl patriotic course of tbo adminis
tration of President Harrison. Its conduct
in both domestic and foreign alVairs hui been
such as to command the thorough resect
and hearty admiration of every true citizen.
Its attitude In dealing with alien rctidonts
and giving to them the protection accorded
to American citizens , and no more , is Just ,
and should commend itself to the civilized
world ,
Wo oppose any attempt to debase the cur
rency and coin of the country , but insist upon
such legitimate increase of our circulating
medium and such maintenance of n double
standard ns will fairly satisfy the Increasing
necessities of trade nnd commerce.
Loyal and Intelligent republicans will not
seek to destroy vested Interests nortocripplu
any legitimate enterprise , but they claim
thai the best thought of the republican party
shall bo concentrated on the formulation of
such legislation as will protect the people
from the exactions of usurers , from the
oppression of monopolies or from the extor
tionate demands of public carriers.
Kccont events have mudo moro apparent
than over the necessity for oxcrclMng the
sovereign right inherent In our nation , us in
all others , to use discrimination in the admis
sion of foreigners us residents In this country.
Wo therefore re-commend such changes in our
laws ns will effectually prohibit the linmiga-
lion of paupers and criminals and of people
so alien from us in their ideas and habits of
thought that they cannot bo assimilated in
the body politic.
We recognUo the republican [ press of the
count rv as a great and Indispensable force In
the advocacy and promotion of republican
Vrinclples , nnd commend every believer In
republicanism the duty of lending his Inllu-
enco and efforts to the extension of the ben
efits of this potent agency.
The first breeze was felt when a Wisconsin
delegate , whoso accent told ho was of foreign
birth , nrd begged on behalf of ninny republi
cans In the northwestern status that thu pro
posed language restricting Immigration bo
expunged. Ho said the mcanlne of the words
might bo all right , but they would bo dis
torted by the enemy with telling effect on the
foreign bora republican vote of the north *
west. They had had fi" rlcnco anil wanted
no more. \ -
Gcncrnl Falrctilld ofii. sconsln scld the
delegates wcro all ngir : on the point In
question , It was right I-1 , 'ok after Immigra
tion , but ho begged the \ ycntlon to listen
to the warning of the A ist men of the
northwest. They knofhnt \ they were
talking' about.
A lengthy dcbato folloi\ \
Finally Judge Webster \ led to strike out
nil after the word "crimliiu _ ; . ' mid this was
done nnd the resolution adopted.
The reading of the Harrison endorsement
created the most enthusiastic scene of thn
convention , The delegates rose and , with
waving handkerchiefs , hats and canes , kept
up the demonstration for several minutes.
General Drake of Iowa presented the to-
port of the committee on league work , recom
mending the appointment of state mul deputy
organizations nnd that league methods bo set
to work in every school district In doubtful
states. It was also suggested that n commit
tee bo appointed to report at the next con
vention on thoproprletrvof Incorporating tlio
league.
This provoked opposition , ns the western
men thought it meant the establishment of
permanent headquarters In Now York , but It
llnally cart-led.
Then came the election of olllccrs.
Judge Powew placed John S Clark'on In
nomination. Half n dozen delegates seconded
the nomination.
Senator Matthews of Illinois presented the
name of W. W. Tracy , president of tlio Illi
nois league , and ono or t\vo \ delegates sec
onded.
But President Thurston loft the chair nnd
made a brief but forcible speech , which
seemed to settle the matter. Tracy's nnino
was withdrawn and Clarkson received a
unanimous vote in nn enthusiastic manner.
Being now out of ofllco , Provident 'IJhurs-
ton named Tracy for president pro loin. Ho
was elected.
Secretary Humphrey nnd Treasurer Louns-
bcrry woru re-elected.
Tlio convention decided that the executive
committee should name the place and time
for the next nicotine. It Is to bo not loss
than three weeks after the national republi
can convention.

A Utah Hank President Taken in on

SALT LIKE , Utah , April 22. | Special
Telegram to Tin : Br.i : . ] A gigantic swindle
was perpetrated nt Provo last night by which
George C. Whitmoro , president of tbo First
National bank at Ncphl and a prominent
atockman , was defrauded out of $0,000. A
fellow by tbo name of Henry Johnson , who
professed to be profoundly Ignorant mid
whoso appearance naturally bore out the sup
position , came to town early yesterday morn
ing , inquiring for a man by tlio name of Whit
moro , n stock raiser , saying that ho had been
entrusted with an important message from
an old acquaintance and could deliver -
liver it to no other person but
him. Ex'-Sherilt J. W , Turner , tin
oldfncndof Whltmorc's , was communicated
with and sent the man Johnson to
Ncphl to see Whitmoro. The roan.
went down nnd told his UilO < nnd'related1
that the man ho came from was , n
Spaniard , that they were living on the out
skirts of Provo , being nervous about staying
at n hotel with the immense amount of gold
bullion they hud in their possession ; that
they had discovered a valuable gold mlno In
Mexico and had reduced the precious metal
into bricks. What they wanted was to place
those bricks with the bank nnd soil to the
mint , In consideration for which services
Whitmoro was to rccolvo a hand
some commission , Yesterday afternoon
Whitmora came up with Johnson from
Nephi , nnd last night , accompanied by J. W.
Turner , went down to tlio camp of this old
acquaintance. On arriving at the camp
Wiiltmore was introduced by Johnson to the
Mexican , who gave his name ns Da Nacha
Nahn. Two gold bricks and a drill were pro
duced. Whitmoro started drilling into the
bars , nnd carefully placing the fragments In
an envelope started for town to hnvo them
tested. Arrangements wcro entered into that
if the bars wcro as represented ho would glvo
them ? 0,000 in part payment. Heat-bluer
Provo Whitmoro nnd Turner went to a
jeweler nud had him put tlio drillings to test.
jt was gold , and this morning Whitmoro wont
to tlio residence of Cashier Onsonbory of
the First National bank nnd told him ho
wanted ? 0,000 in currency. Tlio money desired -
sired was handed over nnd down to 'tho
abiding place nf the two men went Whitmoro
and Turner. The money was turned over
and Hie bricks given up. Kcnculng'-town ,
the precious freight was placed In the na
tional bank. Colonel Moore of the
U. N. nnd C. looked at th'iin and
took the filings from them , which he
placed In acid. Alas ! the gold bricks were
nothing moro than copper. The news ivas
startling to Whitmoro , and now scouts are
out every where on the trail of tlio men.
The bricks are about four inches square and
sixteen inches long , welching thirty-six nnd
thlriy-olght pounds respectively. Were
they 'the good stuff represented they would
fetch about $24,000. They have a clear ring ,
which of Itself ought to dispel any thought
of their being gold.
