Telegram to TUB Hue. ] On Sunday utter-
noon , at the aoma ot his grandson , west of
Hock Bluffs , Jerry Hutehlnson , at the rlpo
old ago of eighty-three , passed quietly away.
ilutchlnson was n somewhat historical per
sonage. having been n mombsr ot
the famous Hock B-lufis election
board when Nobinska was admitted
ns a stnto. Ho thoughtlessly took
the ballot box home with him when no went
o dinner on election day , and that notion was
ho basis of n noted contest. It was found
tint If Koek Bluffs was counted the now
constitution would ho defeated nnd Nebraska
would remain n territory , n fact very much
desired by the democratic party , \\illot
Pottungor , ono of the ablest lawyers in the
territory at that tlmo , hunted up the facts
nnd succeeded In having Mm Hock Bluffs
returns thrown out , thus adopting the con
stitution , which resulted in thu admission of
the state.
Ilutchlnson was n vigorous democrat ,
hut his carefully guarding the
ballot bo < was for no criminal purnoso. He
thought he was the proper custodian and little -
tlo dreamed that hlsyoalousnoss would cause
the defeat of his party and assist the very
attainment they so stoutly fought agalnat ,
Willut Pottengor , the nblo Invwor who con
ducted the case , was found drowned In the
Missouri river near this city two years ago.

F.vu.s CITY , Neb. , July 20. iStieclal Tclo-
gram to Tin : BBK.J The Catholic parsonage
wns discovered to be on llro nt an early hour
this morning and a general alarm was sent
in. The llro department responded , und the
flames were soon under control , but not until
considerable damage had been done. The
building was comparatively n new ono , nnd
the new part is a complete wreck , whllo
the main part is badly damaged from
the soaking it received. The contents were
also damaged by the fire and water. A low
estimate of the loss Is placed nt f.VJO. The
building has not been occupied for a week
nnd consequently the fire Is supposed to ba of
Incendiary origin. This view is strengthened
by tlio fact that thcto has been considerable
discord In the church of late over the priest's
views on certain matters , which culminated
recently In his roinoval.

WASHINGTON BUIIEVU OP Tun BEK ,
fit ! ) FOURTEENTH STIIUCT : : , }
WASIIISOTON , D. C. , Iy20.1
Two of the most diftlcult problems which
Secretary Foster hns had to settle slnco ho
assumed ofllco have been in connection with
the refunding of the bonds which fall duo
this autumn and the colnairo of silver. The
secretary realized , when called upon to make
his plans , that ho had to steer batwoan the
devil nnd the deep sea and that no matter
how carefully ho might navlgnto , his courio
would certainly bring down on him an end
less amount of criticism , but In order thnt ho
might have the views of some of the best
financiers of the country , ho sent out n num
ber of lettets to bankers In the different
states nnd nskcd for their views on the ques
tion of refunding the maturing bonds nt a
lower rate of Interest nnd also for their opin
ions as to the silver coinage continuance , the
last silver net hnvlng given him nutnorlty to
use his own discretion in the matter of con
tinuing the coinage of silver bullion nftcr
July 1.
Contrary to the usual customs of the gen
tlemen to whom the secretary wrote , they
promptly responded nnd , very much to his
surprise , the replies wore unanimous in favor
of extending the bonds , nnd with the excep
tion of n few eastern bankers , there was also
nn nlmost unanimous endorsement of tno con
tinued coinngo of silver. The general tenor
of the loplies to the latter question was , that
inasmuch as there exists an Impression
throughout the country that tno volume of
the currency was too small , it could do no
harm to continue the existing coinage rates.
Secretary Foster nt the same tltno con
sulted a number of senators who take the
greatest Interest in financial affairs nnd they ,
without exception , coincided with the views
of the bankers to tlio effect that the bonds
should be continued nnd thnt silver coinngo
should not bo stopped. Secretary Foster
therefore had the endorsement of the best
financial minds of the country before adopt
ing His policy , and since it wns announced
that the bonds would bo extended and that
silver coinage would continue , ho hns con
stantly received assurances thnt In both of
these matters hn has pleased the public , nnd
the barking of the democratic press has in
consequence no terrors for him.
IMPORTANT DECISION UENUERED.
'Assistant Secretary Chandler has rendered
nn important decision in the matter of a
right of u mortgagee to lands entered , mort
gaged and subsequently sold by the entry-
man , which will probably set a precedent in
n number ot ether cases. Frank L. Smith
made a pre-emption cash entry for a quarter
section in tno Huron land district July 18 ,
18S3. Ho mortgaged It to G. M. McKenzie
for $ sOO in September , 1SSO , and In October
of the same venr sold and conveyed the land
to Robert F. Stewart. A special agent re
ported the entry Illegal , nnd It was held
for cancellation In March , 1887. The
register and receiver found against the
validity of the entry In November , 18SS and
recommended Its cancellation.
The commissioner of the general land
ofllco afilrmcd this recommendation.An
npf cal to the secretary was made by the
Muscatlno Mortgage company , the present
mortgagees , nnd Mr , Chandler decides In
their favor umlcr the act of March 3. 1891 ,
on the ground that no fraud has bean found
on the part ot the mortgagee.

John Sherman Arrives In Cincinnati
Kiii-nlcIT Interviewed Kansas
Alliance IAteratiu-o Other
Political Matters.
New YOIIK , July 20. Mr. Clarkson was
today shown the dispatch In tin morning
papers purporting to quote Senator Quay as
stating that ho had decided to rojlgn the
chairmanship of the republic. national com-
mlttco immediately after the election. Mr.
Clarkson sild : "I am able to state that this
Is true. Immediately after the election Son-
ntor Quay stated to his colleagues on the ox-
ecuttvo commltteo that he desired to resign
as chairman ; that ho did not desire to do
the detail work nud have the do-
tall correspondence of a political eo-nmlttoo ,
and still nioro that ho felt that n United
States senator ought not to bo the chairman
of n national committee or any political com
mittee. His colleagues In the commltteo re
sisted this and persuaded him not to resign ,
Ho renewed the wish four or ilvo months
afterwards and about the tlmo of the Inaug
uration Insisted upon It with n great
deal of determination. The judgment
of the commltteo was opposed to
it , and they were unanimous [ n
the doslro that the organization , which had
gene through a great struggle and wl'ieh hnd
performed a great work , maintaining abso
lutely harmonious relations and the members
becoming cndcaicd to oicli ether thereby ,
should remain unbroken until changed by
the now national committee created by the
next national convention of the uarty. I can
say distinctly that the senator was very posi
tive In his desire to retire and was only
changed from his purpose b.v the ndvico nud
appeal of his colleagues. His health was
frail at times and ho desired to bo rid of the
burden Imposed by these details of a commlt
tee which nro much larger In the intervals of
n campaign than Is generally supposed. In
the dullest tlmo the chairman of the national
committee receives an average of 100 letters
n day which ho has to answer. When his
health failed in the scnato and ho went to
Florida on Ills fishing tour ho stated to mo
then his unalterable determination to resign. "
Mr. Clarkson In the interview spoke in tno
hicliost terms of pr.ilso regarding Senator
Quay , for whom ho had a high regard , aftoo-
tlon and respect.
.Senator Shcrm-m in Cincinnati.
CINCINNVTI , O. , July 20. Senator John
Snerman arrived hero this evonlnir nnd took
rooms nt the Gibson house. A correspond
ent of the Associated press sent up his card
nnd was soon ushered Into the senator's pres
ence. Therowero numerous republicans in
the ofllco of the Gibson , evidently awaiting
an audience with the distinguished states
man , tlio senator has been in Mansfield
inco mst May and lias evidently boon bono-
llted by rest and the pure air of the country.
His clean complexion shows tlio ruddy
glow of health and his eye Is clearer and
brighter than that of many a much younger
man. The remark that tno papers of Cincin
nati had been busy in conjectures that his
motives in visiting here were political , hn ro-
spotfdert cheerfully : "That is the lot of nil
publlq men , " said ho. "to bo talked about In
the papers nnd sometimes the information is
not accurate. In the present case I nm here
, not by appointment any meeting or con
ference. I hUvo been In the habit of making
annual visits to my constituents here and
this is ono of them. That is nil there Is to It.
1 shall bo hero certainly until. Wednesday
and possibly until Thursday. "
The Commercial-Gazette will tomorrow
print the following , written by General
Fornkor : "Tlio only man I have hnd any
conference with on the subject is Mr. Amoor
Smith. Ho came to see mo on General
Sherman's request to know what my position
was. I gave It to him and ho told 1110
that ho had written the same
to the senator. This talk about hold
ing a conference for the purpose of
citing mo to appear before it. ns though it
were some august tribunal empowered to
take jurisdiction of such matters nnd compel
a man to explicitly dolinc his position , which
Is only nnothorwnv of snyinp get out of some
one olso's road , and all that kind of stuff Is
simply so much nonsense. Indicating that the
fool friends are again nbroa 1 in the laud.
The whole business If true would bo simply n
piece of preposterous call and impudence
with which no ono would have any patience. "
When the contents of ox-Governor For-
nkor's InU-rviow on the senatorial question
were repeated to Senator Sherman ho said :
"Governor Foraker feels much about the
matter as I do. I never requested him or
desired any ono to request him to vtithdraw
from the candidacy for the senate. He has
as clear and unquestioned a right to aspire to
the position as I havo. According to this
statement ho Is n candidate very much ns I
nm. I will not scramble for the support of
the members of the legislature , nnd if I
should bo ro-olectod to the sonata I would
nccopt the trust and perform it ns best I
could. "
The Forakor-Shcrman statements nbovo
given were called out by n report printed
here yesterday that Sherman was coming
hero today to llx matters for securing the
sonatorshlp for himself.

TOI-EKA , Kan. , July' 20. P. B. Maxon ,
chairman of the flnunco committed of the

bo sent to every alliance lecturer In the state ,
fortifying him on all facts to show that the
country Is going to ruin at lightning spoud.
It Is part of the educational cam
paign and will bo operated after
thi < snmo manlier as the dis
cussion of the sub-treasury plan. Mr. Maxon

Bank of the Republic of Now York ruuontly
entered suit In the common plo is court hero
nunlost Kpnraim TurUnd to recover the
amount duo on n certain promissorv notoheld
by tbo bank , of which Mr. Turland win the
manor , the note h.iving been delivered to the
Spring Garden Notional bank ( now sus-
pendi-d ) . Mr. Turland today tiled his nfildiivlt
of defense , In which ho give * an intoreUlng
history of the making of the notoi. Ho said
that ho never received any vatuo flf any kind
for the note received , the p.ipar having boon
outnlned from him by fraud , deceit and mis
representation on the p.irt of Fr.inch W.
ICennoJy , president of the Spring Garden
bank.
Mr. Turland alleges that ho was nt thnt
tlmo ono of the directors of the bank nnd
also a stockholder and depositor therein , but
hail not borrowed a dollar for years ; that In
Doco'iibor last there was n notorious strin
gency In the money market nnd the b.inks of
Philadelphia and Now York adopted n sys-
tern ot Issuing loans to each other through
ho clearing house association ; that is to sa\
by dcnosltlnir in the clearing notiso associa
tion certain bank assets other than cash.
Any bonk could wocuro temporary loans In
cash through the ck-anng house , thus en
abling such banks to command suillciout
currency for immollato wants without a
sacrifice of their assets , thcso loans being
iiaid oft nnd renewed as emorgcnov required
by banks in a healthy condition through u
period of several months from December ,
Continuing , Mr. Turland alleges that Fran
cis W. Kennedy represented to him that the
Spring Garden Nn'lonal bank was liTn sound
nnd healthy condition , nnd swore to the fnct
that nil of its loans were well secured ; that
the business was nourishing mid prolltable ,
and that it WAS onrninir more than (1 ( per cent ;
had declared a dividend on a capital stock of
$ T5J)00 ( ) , which was unimpaired , and also that
the bank hnd n surplus fund of $1110,000 ; that
Kennedy so represented to Mr. Turland that
owing to the tringeney of the money market
the bank was a borrower of cash temporarily
Irom the clearing house until their assets ma-
tuted ; that the loans would bo repaid In thu
course of business , and that in view of this
fact it would bo wise for the bank to
strengthen the loans by n deposit of special
paper ; that for this purpose Turland made
the uoto by Kennedy's request with the un
derstanding that the paper was to bo pro
tected at maturity by the Spring Garden
National bank and returned to Mr. Tur
land. The defendant stated further
that under the representations of
Kennedy ho was Induced to
executed notes for many thousonds of del
lars. among them the note In suit. Mr.
Turland also alleges that Kennedy's allega
tions wore false ; that the loans nnd securi
ties were not as roproientod ; that there were
no surplus funds ; that the capital stock was
heavily impaired ; that the bank was fraudu
lently insolvent and had been for a long time ,
and that there had boon a misappropriation
of funds , Kennedy having loaned to himself
$ i.r > 0,000 of the capital stock , and two of the
directors having borrowed $203,000 unit SlOO-
tWO respectively , all of which was unsecured ,
and In conclusion that the books of the bank
were criminally falsilled-m order to deceive
the United Stitos bank examiner. In view
of these circumstances Mr. Turland docs not
bollovo that ho is responsible for the pay
ment of the noto.

Special Couiiuiliii-inic Committee
Additional Testimony.
, July 20. The councilmanlo
committee inquiring into the alTalrs of ox-
City Treasurer Bardsloy and the wrecked
Keystone bank held n meeting this afternoon
In the select council chamber. The report of
the commltteo of exports was presented.
This report has already boon published iu
thcso dispatches.
Commitlccman Hicks offered n resolution
that another meeting of the committee beheld
held on Thursday and that the presidents
and cnshlors of thu banks that nro alleged to
huvo paid Interest to Bardsloy on deposits of
city and state funds bo subpcunaotl. The
resolution also requests that the editors of
tno newspapers that are nllegul to have paid
u -10 per cent rebate for state advertising and
Auditor General McCamant. who is alleged
to have received a portion of the said rebate
from Bardsloy. bo also subpujnacd.
The next witness was Samuel B. Huoy ,
counsel for the estate of John C. Lucas , late
president ot the Koystono. bank , who road a
statement of his knowledge of Lucas"
Indebtedness to the Keystone bank. He pro
duced letters that corroborated Postmaster
General Wanamakcr's statement of tils con
nection with the loan of $10,000 which the
latter obtained from the Grand trust com
pany for Lucas' use , the collateral furnished
being 1,000 shares of Keystone stock , which
had been charged on the check book stubs to
Mr. Wanamakcr.
Mr. Huoy's statement shows thnt the In
debtedness of Mr. Lucas to the bank nt the
tlniu of his death in IbS'.l was f.'ill,000 ( , not
f 1,000,000 , as hul : hc3Ji printed in the papers.
This indebtedness had neon , ho said , settled
by the widow. Mr. Huoy pro lucod letters
nnd memorandums which corroborated Post
master General Wanamaker's explanation of
his connection with the loan of j-IO.OUO ho had
obtained for Lucas from the Girard trust
company , the collateral furnlshod being
1.000 shares of Keystone bank stock , which
the certificate book showed had been Issued
in Wunnmakor'B name , uut which that gentleman -
tloman denied hnvlnir owned. Mr. Huoy
said he questioned Mirsh as to the manner
In which the overissue occurred and the lat
ter replied Unit "the cortillcates were all
genuine In that they hnd neon regulurlv
taken from the certificate boox and signed by
the ofllcurd of the bunk , but that as stock
which had boon sold w.ts brought in for
transfer and now certificates issued the old
certlllcatoi wore ndt nlways cancelled , but
worn sometimes thrown into n drawer nnd
uso.l airaln If occasion required nnd thnt this
doubtless was the way In which thnso cortl-
catej held by Mr. Wnnamaker hnd been
used. Of course , " ho added , "Mr , Wann-
maker knew knowing of tills and there was
nothing on tlio cortiticatai to Indicate any Ir
regularity. "
Mr. Huoy spoke of the efforts on behalf of
the Lucas citato to redeem theto curtlllcntus
and said Unit after it settlement had been
m nil o soon after Mr. Lucas' death $ ir > ,000
would have placed them In thu hands of Mr.
Lucas , but as tlmo wont on and the loiso * In
Heading rallroa 1 stock increased the Indebt
edness of the Lucas estate to Mr.Vannmai < or
likewise Increased.
Colonel A. 1C. McCluro. odltorof the Tlnios ,
who had boon mentioned In Bardslay'tt
"statement , " positively denied Bardstoy's
charge that ho was to profit by the advocacy
In his newspaper of the sale by the city of
the gas works and the South mountain
water scheme. Mr McClure snld the single
grain of truth in li.trdstoy's reference to him
was that ho did request that Magistrate
Smith bo appointed as ono o ( the collectors
of the delinquent taxes In which a fuu U re
tained. IliM reason was that Smith was In
poor health , because of his suffering from n
wound received during thu war , and ho
wanted to help him.

captured the troops ami convicts , nmrchod

Tlio minors niul their friends to the num.-
borof twelve or llftocn thousand were di

up u Hag of truce mid nont In

the officers that they liad cumo to tnko the
convh'ts poaeoaoly if possible , by force If
necessary. The ollleors parleyed nwhllo and
then agreed to surrondor. The troops \vcro
allowed to keep their arms and ammunition
and they with the convicts wore marclipd to

cars or whutovur could bo had and the ontlro

proml-o not to return to Coal Creels. An lm-

The cltv Is now Intensely oxcilcd , Loading
men of all political parties snv the law must
bo upheld. Sympathy , which has been en
listed on the sldo of the minors , is now
acainst them. Governor Buchanan's admin
istration Is that of the alliance , and some of
the politicians are dls-ussing what the alll-
anco will do , but the great mass
of riti/.ens say tha law must bo
observed , and that Governor Itticltanan
must on force tlio law regardless of
cost. The sciitlinnnt hero Is that ho must
send all the state troops , who are few and
poorly organised , to the front atonco and put
experienced inun and ofllccrs in charge , If
ho has not force enough ho must call for vol
unteers.
The minors have appointed n committee to
.say what dispatches shall bo sent out and
what not , and this committee , or some ono of
it , is in the telegraph olllco all the tlmo and
reads all the stuff sent out by the newspaper
men. The commltteo told the operator that
If tiu did not let them read thu messages
they would cut the wires.
