WASHINGTON DEC. 24.-Recent newspaper -

differ regarding these terihs. One paper as-
serts that Formosa , 50 Important from a
commercial and military point of view , must

what an Immense expenditure must bo incurred -

Kings county penitentiary by JUdge lonen
dlctln time United States circuit court. The I
total amount oC the defalcaton wits $351,000 , i
but time specific charges against Seely In- '
\ol\ed only $5OSO.
The moment Judge Benedict pronounced
the sentence Seely was escorted from the
court room to Unlell Stales Marshal Mc-
Carthy's office , In tw ( federal bultlng , by
deputies. Ho was nccompanlell b ) hIs uncle ,
1rord Halenbacle , who stood besIde him
during tIme trying ordeal Seely threw himself - -
self on a sofa when ho readied the mars
thai's office , , and when asled by nn 4tSOs
elated press reporter I he had anything to
say , replIed : "I feel much better than I
have for ten ( 'ears. I am glad lhat It Is

A few minutes later Chief Clerk Kennedy

VIce PrEsident George I. Pease all Director .
D.
rector John F. Beach of lie National Shoe
and Leather bank called about an hour later
all had n talk with Seely The later saul
<
that even IC he should ba sentenced to the
ful lmit oC time law ho would most willingly
wllngl'
assist the officials or the bank In straightening -
cuIng out the accounts.
Lawyer Angel asked thl gentlemen to Intercede -
tercede with Judge Benedict In Sll"s be-
Imalt . but they refused.
"Wo arc not In the least vindictIve , " sold
Mr. leach , "but time case Is now In the
hands or time ,
government , and we are ready
to let the law take Its course. "
At a few minutes before : o'clock Seely
was brought Into the United Stalls circuit
courl. lie was not placed In the pen with
the other prIsoners but sat between the I
deputes near the counsel tables , In front or
thc court. His Uncle kept up n con nuous
com'ersaton with him , but Selly seemed to ( I
take little Interest In his surroundings. el lIt
was very nervous , and twisted [ und untwisted
a whlto hanllerchief wih both hands ,
When Judge Benedict entered the court al h
the chairs were fled with spectators ; among
, whom were President Crane , Vice President
Pease and Director D ach of the Shoe and ] ;
Leather bank
A couple or Italians were first called for
s entence. They hal pleaded guilty to ellc-
t ion frauds and sentenced
ton fruds , were to three
tlree
years each \Vhen Seely's name was caled
he arose slowly and walked up to the bar
wih his uncle on one side and Lawyer Angel
on the other.
Lawyer Angel made an earnest plea for
clemency and said although the crime
charged was very serious he thought the
ends of justice would bo served with the In-
ncton of the minimum penalty or five years.
He spoke of Seedy's wIllingness to plead
guiy from tIme date he was returned from
Chicago , and said that In so pleading he had
saved tIme government a great deal or ox-
p ense.
Lawyer Angel thln went Into the history
of the case and said bow Seely , In time begin-
ning oC 18S5 , had made an honest mistake
but that lIe committed a fatal error In not
reportng time mater to the officials or time
banl ( at once lie was weak and easily foil
a vIctim to Baker , a man or Iron nerve and
pecular ways The lawyer then ( referred to
S eely's family . and asked that the court
would grant a favor that whatever terms of
ImprIsonment i tIme court would Inlct ,
eely would be allowed 10 serve It In the
Kings I county penitentiary . so that ( his wife
could visit hmIsmi.
WOULD MAKE HIM AN EXAMPLE. .
When the lawyer had fnished there was
not n sound In the court rocm , and JUdge
Benedict looked at the prisoner for fully a
mInute before ho spole In a few hrleC semi-
tences he said that he admired Seely for
pieauling guilty , but time large amount Involved .
volved and the position which Seely held In
the bank necesslatld I severe sentemice , In
the halo that I would deter others from rol-
lowing l his course , .
"Tho sentence of the court " said Judge
Benedict , "Is that you bo Imprisoned In the
Kngs county Ilenlentary for a term oC
eight years "
Seely meekly bowed his head to time judge
and left the court 1001 with time deputes ,
Seely , by good behavIor can earn a ccnlnu-
taton or thirty-two months , and will reduce
his term oC hnprlsonment to five years and
four months , Ito wi hl taken to limo peni-
tentary , hut Marshal McCarthy says ho will

WAShINGTON , Dee , 21.-Secretary : Mol
lon's t attention was today called to the ( fact
that ( he was being criticised , and especially
U y soml oC the gran"er papers , for the slate'
menls contained ] In the paragraph which ap.
Iu eared towarll lie close of his report
" When iso standard coin or the republic
s hall bo made of metal worth as much after
Ic I t. Is melted as It purports to bo worth In
c oin . and the mint value and time bullion
value of all coined money Is
al mone I nearly the same ,
will not the American farmer anti all other
c itizens become snore permanently prosper-
ous ? "
In reply the secretary said ] he thought It
n o more nn Invasion of . the economic dOIAln ,
no more n Ilscussion of finance . than lint
made by Secretary Husk In his report of 1890 ,
wherein he declared : "Tho recent leglsia-
ton looking 10 the resloraton oC the hi-
'mltnlic m standard of our currency anti ] the ,
consequent enhancement of the ( value oC
slver , has IllUlstonably hall much to do
wIth the recent ad''anco In the prIce

said I still held that time farmers with their ,

Important i for them to 1emand the highest

that lie ( American rarmer would get twice as I

would ho not havc to pay for all those things I
which he Is obliged to purchase likewise
twice as much ns he pays now ? Or Is I
understood that free coinage wi be 1m the (
protective tarlr-so adjusted as to rise the
