[ Special Telegram to Tun Bnn.J After thirteen days nnd sixteen hours of pretty warm going t'io great cow boy race from Chadron , Neb. , to Chicato Is done. There was a clatter on the rough , Btony pavement of Sixty-third street , then came a shout os at exactly 0:30 : o'clock this morning John Berry finished first. Thcro was only a small crowd at the gates of Buffalo Bill's Wild West to greet the tired man who hud ridden n thousand miles in record time for thu reason that very few had any Idea that the leader would make such fast tlmo the last part of the raco. Those who nw Berry finish were surprised. "Why , he's only a llttlo bit of a man , " thcy'wild , He Is a llttlo man. As ho flung himself from his horse In front of Colonel Cody's tent In the inclosuro his smallncss became even mere apparent. Ho is scarcely ns tall as his horse , Polsotl , that brought him the las : sixty-five miles'from Dokalb to Chicago stiuo 11 o'clock last night. A gleam of pleasure spread Itself over this llttlo man's bronzed nnd burned features as Colonel Cody stepped forwanl nnd shook him by the hand with the remark , "You are the first man In. You are all right , Johnyou ; are all right. " Condition of Jinn nnil Iloiint. The horse wns the center of ono interested group and Berry formed the center ot at traction for another. Of the two objects the man wns the sorriest , sleepiest and most tired. The horse showed no signs of being sleepy , tired und sore. His coat was un- rufllccl and without a bit of lather. Ho showed ability of going another 103 miles. On the other hand , the rider looked worn out , but the gleam from his llttlo gray eyes showed that there was abundant determina tion In the small , well knit frame. lie made a unique picture as ho stood there shaking bauds with members of the press , vacqueros and Indians. With all Berry's exultation at winning the race , oven under protest in spile of his sleepless nights nnd days.bo turned to Colonel Cody ami said , "Look out for that horse , plnasc. " Upon being assured that everything would bo done for the animal Berry allowed himself to bo conducted to the dining tent , whcro ho cleaned a bit und tackled some chicken with n gusto born of 1,0-10 miles of hard riding. When ho llnlshod ho dropped on the sofu , tired out. In n second lie jumped up and tald ho must go ana losk after his horso. Ho went over to the stable and after seeing that everything was all right ho took a nap of a couple of hours. Ilcrry's I/.mt Hundred The story of his last division ride is sim ple : "I left Dekulb at 11:05 : p. m. QJI Poison and I kept pounding along as fast as I could without hurting the liorso. When wo reached Turner wo got a telegram from Dekalb stat ing that Smith and Glllesplo were Just two hours and thirty minutes behind , so I knew J had the race sure. I fed and watered be tween El burn ana Lodi. Wo took the straight St. Charles road and struck Mayweed - wood about 7 o'clock this morning and I was afraid lor the horse when wo struck the pavement for tour he would break down. Ho nin't used to pavements , you know. I rode the last IfiO miles in twenty-four hours. . "Sorof Well I should ay I was. I did not feel much like sitting- down but I mil so sleepy that I can't talk. 1 have had no , leop for ten days ton mount to anything. But I feel in fairly good shape except being sleepy. " Berry hero broke off the conversation to asic Major Burke if ho found any spur marks on his horse and then said : "Some of the riders say 1 rode iu a wagon but thcv are llr.rs. 1 have ridden on my two horses Sandy nnti Poison all the way. By the way , this first horao carried ino ninety miles ycstor- day , There was a combination put up to beat mo. The rest of the riders got out in front of mo at the start , but when Idaho Fulls w s reached 1 was In the lead and thov had to follow mo and they have not caught up with mo. tiliul It 1Vu Over. ' 'Yes , I am glad to win , for It is an honor. Of course , 1 am glad it is over , but I am able to go on and do uomo inoro riding if iicccs- eary. " At 11:07 : n shout announced another rider in sight. In a moment Kmmctt Albright rode In the gates on n little dun pony. Ho surprised every ono , for ho was biipposed to bo 'way in the rear of the bunch. Ho brought in both horses , and the broncho ho rode was in good shape in splto of the long , hard ride. " 1 think I have won , " ho said as ho lay down on the tent. "I am the only man who brought in two horses. I am awfully tlrod , for I have been sick shire I loft Chadron , and 1 have not slept for live days and have not eaten anything1 since yesterday noon. I did not fool tired until this morning , when I began to lot down. The excitement carried mo through. Nerve can do a great deal. I can't tell whcro I passed thu other boys , but I know I passed them last uight , some- vvhero. .Storlot an the llnitil , "You can hear great things on the road. I heard thut I hud no horses , was dead and , everything eUo , I could have beaten Berry , hut 1 knew ho was riding under protest , so I did not try to. I think 1 got the ilrst uionoy. " Joe Glllcsplo rode Into the Wild- West pi-omuls nt 1 : U1 o'clock on his horse , Billie Shaffer. Fourteen minutes later C. W. Smith arrived ou Ills horse , Dynamite. Both men reached the rity early In the morning , but wuro unaccustomed to big towns and lost their way , being unable to find their wny to the show grounds. Albright did not stop on his lust relay between Dokalb nnd Chicago , but his animals , Outlay and Joe Bush , wcro l'i ' splendid shnpo when stalled. The former attempted to bite u stabla hand while ho was feeding him , and Poison kicked Major Burko. As BOOH as the horses were stabled John 0. Shortall , accompanied by n couple of vet erinary burgeons , made an Inspection and ono of the horses tried to blto him. Ho con. eluded that there was plenty of animation loft nnd pronounced the horses nil right and that there was no justification for the least interference on his pan a * agent of the Humane bociety. Cudtm tlio Itotulti. Colonel Cody was pleated with the race and results. Ho declared that tlicro was oo oa treat deal tnoro to tno race than the mere first prlio , "It will show the world what the native American horse Is worth. Euro pean nations aio watching the result of this race with Interest. It is' u test of the hardiness of the broncho , and after the wonderful result of 150 miles in twenty-four hours , , 1,040 miles In thirteen dajtt and sixteen hour * , thcro will bo a rush for the American animal , European nations will want Ameri can bred horses for their cavalry.

" Geceral Jwhu M , Burke returned thU morn ing from Iowa Falls , la. , full of enthusiasm over the race. Ho wos'satlsflcd with the race , but declared the riders to bo a "lemon- ado brigade. " "They don't drink anything but lemonade. Why , I'vo bought a string of lemonade from Iowa to Chicago and the boys broke mo. " ( llltctplo Might JIuo Won , Glltcspio has attracted much attention. Ho Is r 3 years old. but ho has stood the Jour ney well , nnd when ho discounted to.lay ho appeared fresh. A boy who Joined Olllespio in Iowa said that if Glllesplo had taken cnro of lilmsclf and his horses hp would have completed the Journey yesterday. In the first part of the race ho staked his horses out and slept outdoors. In an Iowa town ho stopped to see n circus and amused the spec tators by riding a trick mule. Ho has never worn n coat since ho started. His son was entered for the race , but the old man told him logo back and tend the farm , ns ho in tended to take this opportunity of a lifetime to have some fun. Distribution i.f the riindu. Although Berry , who is an engineer and surveyor for the Klkhorn Valley road , was the first to arrive. It is not likely that ho will bo awarded the cowboy ยง 1,000 Prise of' fcrod by citizens of Chadron , as ho rode under protest , having made the map of the route. Besides this prlzo , Colonel CoJy will distribute $ .V)0 ) among the first Ihrco persons arriving. The Berry matter will bo settled by the Chadron committee and the rldcis I I themselves. The race was started at Chadron Juno 11 ! at flilO o'clock , thus making the tlmo of the race for the leaders a few hours less than fourteen days. The distance is computed to bo WU ) miles , but the riders claim that they rode further by reason of loslnir their wny.

Sensation nt Atlantic , lit. , Caused by ICnrry'M Sndilon IHtHppi'UraMrc. ATLANTIC , la. , Juno 2T. [ Special Telegram to Tin : BKB. ) If all reports are true , ono of the coolest , smoothest and most successful operations in fraud and dishonor has lately conio to light in Atlantic and the neighbor ing towns. Over a year ago J. II. Uarey , who lived in eastern PottawatUunlo county , began the systematic execution of a series of chattel mortgages on cattle which ho diu not own. In some cases ho took the mort gagee out to the farms whcro the stock was and showed him the steers , read the de scription of the cattle in the instrument ana thus allayed any suspicion of fraud. It is said that in ono case a banker went out a day or two after the mortgage was given nnd asked to see the mortgaged prop erty. Rurcy said that ho had not got all the stock homo yet , but told the banker to get into his buggy and they would drive round nnd see them. They drove up to a farm house. Hurcy asked the farmer how his cattle wcro doing. The farmer said very well. Then they went out to the pasture and looked over a big bunch of steers answering to the mortgaged stock. The fact was that Raroy owned two or three of those steers ana thus fooled the banker und the farmer. It is alleged that his operations aegregato many thousands of dollars. All the banks in Atlantic , save the Bank of Atlantic , lese from $200 to fvSOu each. Jerry Munson is said to have lost $ l.r.OO on Uarey and the Bank of Lewis , u small sum. Both the banus at Griswold are losers , and the Walnut bank lent money on the mortgaged collateral. An Avoca bank , the ( Jargon bank , and two commission houses ono in Omaha and the other in Chicigo , have all Dccn buncoed. The Dickersons have also lost money by him. It is furthermore alleged that in addition to all this llarey has forged paper. One week ago Karoy.absconded. It is said that ho took the train to Avoca and has not been seen o:1 heard from sinco. Frank Mncombcr of Iowls and Squire Brlggs of Griswold hold some of this forged paper. It is said that ho owes Shaw A : Crombio a $100 lumber bill and an immense amount of other debts. In addition to nil his other escapades it is said that Ruroy has deserted his wife , formerly Miss Anna Koyes of Lewis , and u family of little children. Shot lit Mursli.illtown.

The cabinet today spent two hours considering the silver ques tion. As congress nlono can effectively deal with the question and ns the president showed no Inclination to cull congress to gether o.irller than September , it was de cided merely to await the course of events until that tlmo. From the comparatively few congressmen in the city the following views have b ; n ob tained : Representative Alderson of West Virginia said the action of the Indian government greatly embarrassed the situation hero. Ho was a free silver man , but ho believed the conditions nt this time would have to'bo con sidered In any legislation o'i the subject ; that wo could not legislate on the conditions of ten or twelvo.years ago , nnd'.hat congress would have to act in accordance wlth-thlngs ns it finds them and not upon theories. Ho thought a great many of the silver men wcro disposed to agrco to some compromise , but the matter of detail could not yet bo de termined upon. Conip'lc.itcit Tor Silver 'Men. Representative Meredith of Virginia said matters wcro complicated for the silver men. Ho thought UIG Sherman law would bo repealed , but ho did not care to guess us to the character of the substitute for It. "This action on the part of the govern ment of India,1' said Mr. Boatncr of Louis iana , "throws a good many more dlflleuHies in the way of frco coinage. I have no doubt that had not till * been brought about Mr. Cleveland would , during tlio next session of congress , have had a free coinage bill pre sented to him for his sanction or his veto. I cannot tell und no ono can as yet , I think , how much the demonetization of silver in India \ \ ill affect the situation. I have no question in my mind about the propriety of repealing the Sherman law , but wo have pot to have some means of supplying money for trade and commerce. The volume of gold Is not sunicient and the deficiency has got to bo supplied by another currency. I am not wedded to any particular scheme , but what the people of this country want Is sufficient monny tor business , and it has got to bo supplied. A large number of silver men who voted for the repeal of the Sherman law last congress did so on t hell- faith that ut the beginning of this congress the 10 per cent tux on state banks would bo repealed. For my part I saw no reason why the t.vo things should not have boon coupled , und I was not willing to trust to the future foraction on the bank tax , and I voted against the repeal of the Sherman law. It is not silver , per so. that the people wuut. but It Is a sufficiency of sound money. I think that congress should have been culled together in April and now wo should got together as soon us possible. " Hopeful lor a Specify Settlement Representative. Gates of Alabama says that hc'is hopeful of a speedy settlement of the financial question when congress meets. He anticipates , of course , that tlicro will bo considerable trouble and that members will be inclined to hold firmly to the theories they have been presenting all along- , but that the common sense of the situation is to do something to meet the conditions. Ho thinks that the most logical and common sense things will bo to repeal the S'lerman ' law , and the law levying a 10 per cent tax on state bank currency and to provide for the free coinage of silver at such a ratio as to place it on u parity with gold. A. J. Warner of Ohio , president of the American Bimetallic league , said : "Tho stoppage of the coinage of silver iu India is the Inauguration of a new monetary revolu tion or , rather , the extension to the far cast of the revolution begun in 1672-73 in the western world. It is the second act in the same great conspiracy .ill is u movement deej : seated und will be fur reaching in its cense quences. I look upon this act of India , by which the iratoways of the east are closed to silver , together with the determined purpose of the monomotalllsts of this country to re peal the Sherman act , ns ovcnts fraught with greater consequences to man than anything thut has before transpired within the century. What becomes now of the claim thut the United States must stop the purchases of silver in order to force ISiigland to join in an international agreement ? Eng land has determined , if possible , to force the repeal of the silver purchase- law in the United States. The closing of the mints of Bombay nnd Calcutta is a part of the gi . gantic conspiracy to seize upon the present opportunity to establish finally and forever the single gold standard , und to extend i J over the world. Critical In the Rxtrcmo. "This is the critical Juncture. The turn ing point is now. If frco coinage were re stored in the United States it would bo tli end of the single gold standard. On th other hand , If absolute repeal of the prcscn silver law In the United States can bo force' ' the work is done , it is therefore deemei safer to stop coinage In India first. The 1m mediate consequence will bo that silver wil 1 full and gold will increase iu value fastci 1r than over. Prices will soon begin to fall in India. The whole world in tlmo will feel ! l thu effect of the consummation of this last net of the gold conspirators , Prices will continue to fall everywhere as gold rises. I The end no one can seo. Kvory advantage will inure to creditors nnd creditor nations. ICngland has sot out to subdue the world 1.I I , not with arms , but with gold by turning everything to gold. ss "If tills movement bo allowed to run its course unchecked there will bo line grinding before the mills are done. The movement is big with revolutions and is sowing the seeds of anarchy. But will it be allowed to run Its course ! That depends on the United States. If the United State * allows Eng land to forever dictate her financial policy , as she has done vlnco the war , then we must take the consequences. But if the American people have any independence of character loft , they would not do so , and it should bo evident to everybody that the United States must finally act independently. The inter national conference has gene with the stoppage of the mints of India , Itccourso of the West , "What is there luf t to do , but for the west ern contingent , under the lead of the United States , to unite and act independently and establish a financial system founded on equity and calculated to secure stability in values and ono which will kcop an oven bal ance between the debtor und creditor , not one calculated to rob with impunity the debtor for the benefit of the creditor , "Tho gold standard , under this act of Eng land closing the mints of India , becomes a more unjust standard than ever , because jjold will now increase in value faster than ever before. A session of the American 111- metallic league lias already been decided upon for the latter part of August at St. I/uis or Chicago. This plan will uot bo changed unless congress should bo called to gether ut an earlier date than given out by the president.

While , nccordlns to bank ofllcers , there was no change of con ditions to warrant any muriccd Increase on Stock exchange prices , there was not lacking reports of a character calculated to Inspire confidence , ns well as some facts which Justi fied the belief that the outlook was brighter today than it was yesterday. Ono of the rumors was that the president was going io call an extra ses sion of congress | n July ito repeal the silver law , the reason lor the change from September to July being the action of the Indian government in closing the Indian mints to private coinage of silver. The question was helm ? discussed , it was said , at n meeting of the cabinet today. Another rumor was that Drexcl. Monran&Co. were goinif to import $3,000,000 of gold.

Generally speaking , the bankers today re ported the financial situation as somewhat easier everywhere , but ithey qualilleu the statement by saying that' ' the demands for rediscount , while no larger , were very gen eral from all over the country.

I do not expect to see any irreat shrinkage in values on the Stock exchange. I do not sea what any ono can base an expectation of shrlnkuges on. In my opinion the shrinkage - ago bus already taken place. The action of the Indian government on the silver ques tion Is tut most important piece of news published this week. It leaves this country as the only ono in which there is a market for silver and is undoubtedly u strong argu ment in favor of the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law. " liiisnell tiaco'H'Opinion. Russell Sago said today regarding the silver situation : "I think the action of the Indian government will have the effect hereof of hastening the repeal of tllc silver law. I consider thut law us 'done for' now. What disposition to make of the great amount of silver the government has on hand nnd to place some fixed value' on it are the ques tions now. " Jesse Scligman said that ono result of the Indian government's'uctlon will bo to bring ubout an Immediate establishment of an In ternational monetary basis on a fixed ratio. . It will be of us much effect in England nnd I other European countries us in the United States. It will also be a strong argument in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act. Unless - less this was done better times would not bo effected. A very serious state of affairs has do- vcloped in Philadelphia. Several of the big banks are practically unable to remit to the banks of this city the balances duo them for remittances , and Philadelphia exchange is practically at n premium today In this city. The Philadelphia banks say they are unable to procure Now York exchange , and they cannot get gold or currency to ship. One bank in this city has $1500,000 locked up in three Philadelphia oanhs in that way. Of course it could send down and demand the cash , -but It is unwilling to do so. The probability is that there will bo a ln/gcr issue of clearing house certificates in Phila .1 delphia in u day or two , and the balances duo in New York will , it Is presume 1 , bo I'utu. Ail the meantime , however , business men having drafts on Philadelphia will not bo ublo to got credit for them hero except at a pretty largo discount.

The sixth an nual convention of the State Republican league met here today. President McAlpino presided and after the appointment of com mittees read his annual address. Among other utterances were these : "Tho republican party seeks to establish and maintain a system which will Insure our absolute and unqualified credit at home and abroad. The American dollar must always and under all circumstances bo of the full value , so that whether it appears in the form of gold , silver , or a promise to pay , its purchasing power shall bo the same. "Our country at this moment is nasslng through n financial crisis with far reaching results und with tip immediate prospects of solution. Business enterprise is at a stand still ; banks and capital in every form are hying wrecked and this is equally attribut able , not only to various causes , easily deter mined , but also to the lack of definite policy on the part ot the administration , which makes it impossible for the business community to plan for Its own preservation. It is not enough for the cnlef oxccutivo of the nation to coun cil patriotism nnd quiet on tlio part of the citizens when executive lethargy and inde cision means the wrecking of private for tunes and the shaking of the nation's credit. Democratic liicoiislatciiclrs. "Wo charge our democratic opponents \vith glaring inconsistencies and with having gone before the people in the last election pledged to the performance of promises of which there has been nnd apparently will bo made no performance. Wo charge them with having attacked , as danger ous und pernicious , the financial policies of the republican party which they duro not repeal nnd for which they ottered no Intelligent substitute. Wo charge them with ineompotencyof the administration of affairs ; with n desire to muko party capital at the expenseof the nation and with n tim idity which prevents thorn from righting what they claim to bo wrong in republican administration without offering a consistent and bcnellclcnt substitute thereof. " Secretary Hedges read letters of recret nt their Inability to bo prcsmit from ox-Pres ident Harrison , ex-Vice President Morton and Hon. Whitelaw Reid , Kx-Prcsldent Harrison in the course of his letter said : "I huvo been acting upon a resolution made before leaving Washington that would glvo the spring und summer months to rest und avoid all public occasions und ad dresses. I hope your meeting will bo suc cessful and I thlnu I may add without transgressing the proprieties that there Is nothing in the present business situation to suggest any great gain to the country ns the result of inauguration of democratic poll tics. " Itppulillcaim Will Ho faithful. Kx-VIco President Morton says that pre vious engagements prevent his attendance. Hon.Vhlteluw Held , after regretting his inability to bo present , says : "You find the country in an unfortunate condition , The duty of every ono of us U to do everything in our power to help the president nnd con gress to relieve the situation. Our party will not bo unfaithful to thut duty , Mr. Cleveland can confidently count on congress and throughout the country on more support on the first vital questions of the day from the rouublicansjthaii the democrats , "But while loyally co-operating to meet the oxUtlnu dangers , wo must not bo charged with creating them. The present condition whether ifnancial or Industrial , is neithoi the choice of the republican party nor fairlj considered the work of republican loglsla tlon. In llnanco It is the culmination of an unfortunate compromise , to which repub llcans wcro driven after a majority of demo crats and a minority of republicans had passed In the senate , aud wore near passing In house , u incasuie for the free coinage of silver ut , say , u third above its market valuo. Twenty-seven democrats and fifteen repub licans had voted for this free coinage meas ure iu the senate , whllo twenty-two repub licans und barely three democrats voted against It , Strugclo In the House , "In the house the proportions of the respective votes wcro still more significant. The effects of the compromise measure , to which the democrat party with substantial unanimity thus drove the republicans , was bad , but the general confidence at homo aud abroad , In the National Record nnd purpose of the republicans , helped to minimize them ; and though the tendency grow worse they did not culminate until the shock came to public confidence In the triumph of that party , the great body of whoso legislators had been steadily In favor of a fur worse measure , and had been on the verge of , carrying free coinage two years before. "Tho demand of the hour Is now , ns 11 has been every hour since the 4th of March last , to end the uncertainty and lot business men know whcro they stand. Congress , to which body the constitution confides changes In the tarilT nnd currency , could have been called together. The delay for six months or inoro arsucs on his own part , extraordinary conll- dchco in the superior wisdom of the execu tive for meeting u crisis which has spread distress over iho country , or extraordinary expectation of what his democratic congress mi ht do. I'nrpoic of Their I'm ty. "A leading democratic congressman , Colonel Brcckinrldgo of Kentucky , speaking in Mr. Cleveland's presence nt the last an nual dinner ol the Now York Chamber of Commerce just after the election , said that It was the deliberate purpose of their party now to reverse the policy which the country had nursucd for the last thirty years. Why not do It then ? Why sit still and look on at the continued robbery which they say is going out For four months now they have tacitly approved It. For two months more they propose to sit still without lifting n hand to stop It. "In any ease our duty is plain. By so much us Mr. Cleveland In this unhappy trial proves himself better than his party , ho will h.-neovor loyal nnd patriotic sup port. But ho will have no assistance from us in reversing the policy distinguished by the greatest success recorded in history. We _ shall stnnd loyally together for our principles nnd for the country in the con fident faith that the near future will wit ness the vindication of ono nnd the restored prosperity of the other. " After the reading ot Secretary Hedges' annual ivport the convention unanimously adopted the report of the committee ou res olutions. The resolution afllrms constant belief in protection und views the present disturbed financial condition us resulting from the hick of confidence on the i > art 01 the people in the pivsont executive of the nation und the dominant party in congress , fearing lest the president and the demo cratic party may bo true to tlio frco trade principles of the Chicago platform. CMUHO of IttiHliics * DoprrHttnp. The fear that the democratic congress will destroy the protective policy of the lust thirty years is the chlol cause of the busi ness hesitancy and depression. Continuing the report says : "We belleva that the equality of the purchasing power of every dollar issued by the United States government should bo maintained nnd neither the debtor nor creditor class should bo granted legislation to further the scllish In- teiests of either. Wnatover legislation may bo enacted on that subject should have con stantly m view the maintenance of tlio parity of gold and silver. Wo doubt the sincerity of the democratic party in favor of an honest dollar , believing that Its record on that question us shown bv its representatives in congress nnd its platform of 1S02 In favor of repealing the 10 per cent tax on state bank notes rcpresant the true position of that party upon the currency question. The vaccilatlng course of Secre tary Carlisle in dealing with the financial situation calls for special condemnation , and indicates the lack of purpose and intelligent judgment , which the democratic party bus always shown when dealing' with the sound money problem. " The resolutions note the hostility of the administration to the pension system , re- tfors to the unpatriotic lowering of the flag at Honolulu and holds the administration re sponsible for the anarchy which now threatens the island nnd extctrls earnest , support to Mr. McKinloy.
