He Proves Too Muoli for a Prominent Financial Institution in New York. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Sept. 28. —The details of a scheme whereby the National City Bank of this city was recently vic timized by a clever forger, came out today. The forger presented a bogus * hcck bearing the name of a well known stock exchange firm and re ceived in return securities valued at übout 8360,000. Pearl Sz Co., stock brokers, at 2i William street, recently negotiated a one day loan for $300,000 with this institution. On Wednesday a check for the amount . of the loan, plus $37.50 for the one day’s interest, was presented at this bank by a stranger who received the security de posited by Pearl & Co. for their loan. The bank on which the brokers’ check was drawn was one with which Pearl * Co. never had an account, so the forgery as not discovered until the check bad passed through the clear ing house - excUmge, Vhen it was promptly branded as fictitious. A private detective agency was called in and transfer of the security was at once stopped. The detectives inti mate that they have a clew to the identity of the forger, who is believed to have lied one or more accomplices and an intimate knowledge of Pearl & Co.’s affairs.

SAILED FOR COLON YESTERDAY. Board of \ Consulting Engineers and Several Members of Canal Commission. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Sept. 28. —The board of consulting engineers and several mem bers of the Panama Canal Commis sion, sailed today for Colon on the steamship Havana. Their purpose is to inspect the work already done on the canal and also its proposed route In order to report to the commission the best kind of a canal to build. In the party were Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the committee; Rear Ad miral R. M. Endicott. Colonel O. H. Ernst, and B. M. Harrod. all of the Canal Commission. Speaking of the work to be accomplished by the pres ent trip Mr. Shonts said: "In theory the board has consid ered three proposed plans for the building of the canal, the sea level canal, the lock canal and the lock and lake canal. They will give these plans careful consideration on the ground and then report. It does not follow, however, that the Canal Commission will be bound to follow their advice. If they give a unanimous report in favor of a certain kind of canal, it is probable that the commission will fa vor that form of canal as being the very best. If they give a majority and a minority report it will rest entirely with the commission which one to accept or whether to reject both. The commission advices the president of its decision and he in turn notifies Congress.” “A MONUMENTAL NUISANCE.” Surgeon Seaman Speaking Thus of an American Woman Physician, Offers to Resign.

THE UNREST CONTINUES. But There Were No More Riots Y’es tertluy. and it is Believed u Peaceful Soliv.ion of tlic Difficulty Will be Ranched (By the Associated Press.) Buda Pest, Sept. 28.—There is no abatment. of the popular unrest al though today passed off without se rious outbreaks in any quarter. The socialists gathereh again tonight, this time in front of the Imperial Club; but the police were more energetic than they were last night and dis persed the groups as they forem.l. thus preventing disorder. A meeting of students tonight passed off without incident. At a meeting of Democ ratic Clubs it was decided to hold a grand torch light procession in the near future. The decision gives rise to some uneasiness, and it is possible that the procession will be postponed until after the convention of the sun porters of the coalition parties Oc tober 3rd. Reports from the provinces show increasing support for the coalition parties, but notwithstanding this there is a very considerable element in Hungary outside the social i: I s ranks that continue to remain in op position to the coalition. This ele ment is encouraged by well authenti cated reports from Austria of an al most unanimous sentiment in favor of the crown and that even the Aus trian socialists arc opposing the Hun garian movement because the coali tion is opposed to universal suffrage in Hungary. The court at Viena is reported to bo distracted bv conflict ing advice. Many Hungarian politi cians of influence have advised the King-Emperor to yield on certain points, and it is rumored tonight that others are seeking to secure his ma jesty’s favor advising persistence of Francis Joseph in his stand. The failure of Baron Fejervary’s audience of the Emperor today to bring about a solution of the difficul ty is hailed by the members of the co alition as favorable to their cause. All sorts of rumors are afloat, which have the effect of keeping pop ular sentiment aflame; but the best informed persons believe the effort« of the conservative element will shortly be felt and that a solution of tho difficulty will be reached, without a rupture of the dual realm.

(By the Associated Press.) Boston. Mass., Sept. 28.—The situa tion in the dress suit case mystery to night was substantially the same as it was a week ago, when the gruesome find was made near the float of the winthrop Yacht Club. All the police have that appears tangible and of value, is the fact of the purchase of two dress suit cases at pawnshops in Pleasant stret and the identification of one of them by the pawnbroker. With the single exception of the pawnbroker's story, every clue has been run down and satisfactory ac count made of all the suspicious cir cumstanced. A bundle of clothing THE DAILY NEWS AND OBSERVER found at Cottage Park, a mackintosh picked up near Saratoga Bridge, and i quilt recovered near Shirley Peril, til of which the police for a tme connected with the crime, have been eliminated from the zone of inquiry is worthless. The blonde hairs, which by #ime peculiar coincidence, were found on three of the articles have been sub iected to microscopic examination by Prof. Whitney, of Harvard, who found no similarity in either texture or color. The bundle of clothing*which was wrapped in a paper marked “R. 0» Burnham. 2 Dalton Street.” had been thrown in tho water after the death of Mrs. Burnham’s sisjer in Winthroji. •he cloth had been used about the dek bed of the woman.

The work of the divers is being continued and will be until the entire bottom of Winthrop Bay has been covered. McADOO NO CANDIDATE.

In Answer to Eryan's Open Letter He Calls Up Pictures of Government Ownership of Every Highway. (By the Associated Press.) New York, .Sept. 28.-—The reply of tlic conservative wine of the Demo ratic party to W. J. Bryan's recent open letter to the President on rail road rate legislation is contained in an article by Richard Olney in the October number of the North Ameri can Review, published today. In what is practically his first public ut terance in two years. President Cleve land's former Secretary of State, pres ents his final judgment against the oroposed legislation, in the form of a aiief, covering not only the law, but the publ.c policy involved in the agi tation. in discussing the effects of the gov ernment regulation upon the rail roads, Mr. Olney says "The situation to he anticipated then, is that railroads —private prop erties and representing private invest • merits, aggregating billions of dollars —will find themselves controlled in the vital matter of their charges, not by their private owners, but by two public boards—one representative of local interests and the other of na tional interests and both antagonistic to the interests of the private owners concerned. The two boards will aim at the lowest possible rates, each hi behalf of the particular business under Its charge, and will therefore be in constant rivalry with each other in the endeavor to extort from the carrier the best service at the small est cost. Under these conditions any thing like skilful, just, reasonable or stable rate-making becomes impossi ble. A situation is created intolera ble alike to the carriers and to the public and the sure outcome —unless the whole scheme of government rate-making be abandoned —is govern ment ownership. Government Ownershlp. "Government ownership of all rail roads is obviously the goal toward which some of the government rate makers are arriving, while others, if not welcoming it and not working for it, profess not to fear it, and claim (hat it would at all events be an im provement upon the present status. But when government ownership of the railroads of the country is seri ously considered our dual political sys tem is at once seen to present prob lems of the gravest character. The few and comparatively unimportant railroads that are wholly intra-state may be properly ignored. Every rail road of consequence is engaged In both kinds of transportation—in transportation that begins and ends in a single State, and in transportation that passes beyond State lines. Hence, if government ownership of railroads be regarded as the inevitable sequence of government rate-making—the first question is, which government is it that is to own the railroads, the State or the United States? "The significance and importance of the inquiry,” continues Mr. Olney, "are apparent, if we remember that the railroad is only one species of highway, and that which, if true of railroad must be true of ordinary highways. The jurisdiction of the national government must be the same in both cases. If it is competent for the national government under the commerce clause to own and operate all the great railroads of the country, it must be also competent for it to own or control and operate all the great highways of the country." Os this deduction. Mr. Olney says that it would be revolutionary in prac tice and contrtadictory of views custo marily held.

ADDRESS BY SECRETARY SILVW. Tliis Was the Event of the Ohio Bankers Morning Session Yes terday. (By the Associated Press.) Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. 28. —The ad dress of Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, was the feature of (he morning session today of the con vention of the Ohio Bankers’ Associa tion. Ho urged that a more elastic currency system be adopted. Mr Shaw opposed secret currency, and the authorization by law of clearing house certificates. Among the many remedies suggest ed he said none appeared to be as strongly as the authorization of ad ditional national bank circulation. This method involves the right of na tional banks to increase their circu lation in any amount, perhaps equal to fifty per cent of their outstanding volume of government bonds secured circulation, on which the bank should pay a tax of five or six per cent during the time it is maintained, and the government in consideration of this tax, should guarantee its redemption.” IT HAILED REVOLUTIONISTS Argument Attaints tlie Burimideso Asphalt Company. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Sept. 28.—The Burmu dese Asphalt Company’s railroad transported revolutionary troops in Venezuela during tlie Matos rebellion in 1900, its steamer Viking carried revolutionary supplies and the com pany’s acting superintendent on more than one occasion gave the revolu tionists food and supplies. Testimo ny to this effect was given today by John Perry, who was acting superin tendent for the company in 1901, in the suit brought by the Venezuelan government to recover $11,000,000 from the asphalt company because of the company’s alleged participation in this revolution. Perry declared, 'however, that the revolutionary troops were transported only because similar transportation had been ac corded tlie government troops: and that the suplies and arms carried on the Viking were smuggled on board by individuals without the company’s consent; and that his contributions of food and supplies to the revolution ists was entirely a personal act and were given to avoid the trouble a refusal' would have caused.

Duke for libel, which has been in the courts for seven years, will be argued in the Su preme Court Wednesday for the fourth time. The case was first decided in favor of the plaintiff, who had been non-suited on trial in the lower court. Plaintiff then recovered damages, and ants’ appeal was again sustained Plaintiff again recovered and defend ants appeal was again sustained.' Plaintiff was nern-suited in Raleigh in June and appealed. The case has been, therefore, three times heard in the Supreme Court. If, on this ap- peal, the lower court Is sustained, 'he case is ended. If the plaintiff wins his appeal, the whole matter will go back for trial again and, in any event other than the death of the plaintiff, when the case would abate, there would be still another appeal, with the possibility of still another trial on the merits.
