New Yorfc. October 23. C. L. Alvord,
note teller Of the First National Bank,
is a defaulter to the amount of $700,000.
Alvord has not yet been apprehended.
He had been an employee of the bank
for over twenty years. The First
National Hank is one of the largest
banking Institutions In the city and Its
president is George I. Baker, who is
also president of the Astor National
Bank and a financial adviser of the As
tor family. The bank is located at No.
I Wall street and has a capital of $500,
000 and a surplus of $5,000,000. The bank
gave out the following statement lata
to-day :
"The note teller who has been In the
employ of the First National Bank for
many years, is a defaulter to a large
amount. His operations have continued
for a considerable time and have been
skillfully concealed through a manipu
lation of his balance book. The discov
ery was made by one of the bank's em
ployees a few days after the completion
of an examination of the bank by the
United States examiners. During the
continuance of his peculations, periodi
cal examinations have been made by
several distinct corps of examiners rep
resenting the comptroller's department,
all expert accountants, and the bank
has also had frequent independent ex
uminations, neltht r of which has de
veloped in any Irn gularity. The aggre
gate of the false entries, amounting to
$700,000. iuis been charged off on the
books of the bank out of the reserve
fund, without diminishing the surplus
and profits of the bank as reported in
its last published statement. It is ex
pected that the shortage will be ma
terially reduced by a substantial sum,
of which there is fair prospect of re
covery." Alvord was capable and experienced
and the discovery of his defalcations
made after he was gone was a com
plete surprise to everybody. The loss of
money is hardly disturbing the bank,
which is one of the strongest in the
city. Alvord is about 50 years of age
end has a wife and three children. His
home was at Mount Vernon, and he
was respected there as well as in the
street. His habits were good. It is be
lieved that he lost money in stock
speculations and th.it some of the
money can be recovered. He disappear
ed a week or ten days ago.
The crime has been known long
enough to the officers now to enable
them to say with some assurance that
Alvord did his work alone. No one else
Is under suspicb n.
A statement made by the bank on
Septembt r 5th, showed the following:
Capital. $C00.CG0; surplus, $5,000,000; un
divided profits, $4,114,250; deposits, $39,
997,895; demand loans and cash on
hand. $23,;i7!t.L'7tJ; tiir.e loans, $5,54,610;
stocks and bonds, SL'0. 1 10.409.
In the statement the bank's total re
sources were placed at J52.6R3.294.
Beyond the facts contained in the
official statement the bank's vice-president,
Frank I,. Hine. absolutely refused
to say a w rd. President George F.
Baker, when asked regarding the mat
ter, said that tin- statement given out
by the vice-president contained all that
he had to say in regard to the defalca
tion. Wlii n asked it' Alvord had been
apprehended, the vice-president said:
"I don't think he has."
At the Peal office of the detective
agency which usually has charge of
bank cases, it was said that officials of
that confpany had heard nothing of the
defalcations as yet and they had not
at that time been assigned to the case.
The First National Bank is a member
of the National Bankers' Association.
Alvord had been with the bank for
twenty years and was one of the most
trusted men In the institution. His
stealings extended over a long period,
but no suspicion of the truth was
know n until ten days ago. when he sent
word that he was ill at his home. After
he had 1 een away for a day or two the
bank put experts at work on some ir
regularities found. As the experts
delved deerer and deeper into Alvord's
books the exter.tcf the robbery began
to dawn on tbe fficeis until they were
overwhelmed to find that it had reached
the enormous figure of $700 000.
Whether that sum is all that he took is
not yet ki 1 wn.
It hes not yet dev 1. 1 ed how the note
teller was able to put his hands on so
much money. But or.e of the directors
is rept rted to have ?aid that Alvord
was enabled to tike such a large sum
because as note teller he was In charge
of the mail. This he opened every
morning and he had ample opportunity
to abstract notes, drafts and checks as
well as money. Of c urse, he had to be
especially skillful to make his accounts
balance. This diicctor admitted that
he was at a 1. 1 - to account for the
falluie of the Lank examiners to dis
cover Alvcrd's in gu la rifles at their
last examination. Forest Ray nor is in
charge cf the rial bank examiner's

What Alvoid did" with all the cash is
a mystery as yet. except that as usual

y t of it went in stock speculation.

bration of the Holy Communion.

Be Tells the People of Imperialism
and Civil Service-The Democrat!
Standard Bearer Expound the
Principles of Civil Service to the
Great ftatftslaction of His Vast An
dlence In the Capitol of the Notion.
Washington, October 23 William J.
Bryan spent an hour and a quarter at
the National Capital to-day. His train
arrived ever the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad from West Virginia at 7:55
o'clock this morning, an hour late. I
About 1000 people were waiting him at
the depot. Mr. Bryan was taken to the
residence of Judge Springer, opposite
the capitol, where Mr. Bryan had
breakfast.
A few minutes before 9 o'clock Mr. ;
Bryan was driven to the Baltimore and !
Ohio depot, where he made a brief 1
speech from his automobile. He spoke
on imperialism and civil service. About
five thousand people were massed ,
about the depot. Mr. Bryan said:
"Occasionally I hear it suggested that
persons engaged in the civil service
who are opposed to Imperialism will
vote the Republican ticket for fear of I
losing their positions with the govern
ment. Certainly there are not many
who would prefer government employ
ment under an empire to whatever risk
might attend their employment under
i. republic. I am not much of an admir
er of that civil service which is sus
pended when a President Is inaugu
rated until he can fill the offices with
his friends and is extended by the
President when he is about to retire,
in order that he may protect his friends
in office. I believe that a system of civil
service might be devised wherein ap
pointments would be made upon merit
and wherein the appointees would hold
for a fixed term and not be dependent
upon the will of an appointing office".
The industrial despotism now inaugu
rated by the Republican party is clos
ing the door of opportunity against the
young man, and driving many to seek
government employment who, under
better conditions, would be employed in
producing industries."
Mr. Bryan closed with the statement
that it was not his highest ambition to
be President, "but to make this govern
ment so good that to be a private citi
zen in this republic will be a greater
honor than to be a king in any other
nation."
Before reaching Washington the train
on which Mr. Bryan came in made a
brief stop at Alexandria, Va. The
statement had been made in advance
that Mr. Bryan would make a brief
speech In that town, and a large num
ber of people had congregated at the
railmad yards to greet him. They re
ceived him with vociferous cheers, but
no time was given for a speech. Mr.
Bryan only had time to say that he felt
complimented to have so many people
come out to greet him so early in the
morning. He felt, he said, sure of Vir
ginia's support, and from what he had
seen of other States recently he felt
justified in asserting that Virginia
would have plenty of company on elec
tion day.
The only other itop made in Virginia
was at Manassa after daylight. That
point was reached at a very early hour.
The stop r.as only for a moment and
Mr. Bryan did net appear. Nevertheless
there was a crowd at the station.
Frederick, Md.t October 23. "You
will hear people say that I, if elected,
will not enforce the law. That Is not
.he danger. They know that if I am
dected I wiH put the same kind of
striked clothes ox a big thief that are
jut on a little one" This declaration
as made by Mr. Bryan In his speech
in this city to-day. He had arrived
here at 12 o'efock, an hour later than
the time set for the beginning of bis
meeting. He came In on a special train
from Washington, which brought a
number of people from the capital city
ind he found a very large crowd await
ing him at this point Here he encoun
tered a rainstormi and the rain fell
constantly during1 the meeting. It was
not a heavy downpour, but sufficient to
wet people to the akin who remained in
it. Nevertheless, a majority of the
large crowd heldr on to the end, and
most of them showed their appreciation
by frequent and loud applause.
Mr. Bryan was- introduced by Colonel
L. Victor Baughman, whose home is at
this place, and CelOnel Baughman, as
well as Mr. Bryan was most cordially
greeted. Mr. Bryan was well along in
his speech when he made the declara
tion above c.uoted, and this was fol
lowed by an additional statement run
ning thus: "And this is the reason
why all the lawbreakers are against us
in this campaign."
Introducing his speech, Mr. Bryaa
said: "The Democratic party is not a
sectional party. You build a govern
ment upon the Declaration of Inde
pendence and administer it according"
to the ideas of Jefferson, it is as broad
and as long as the natibn. If we were
seeking some class legislation which
would give to the few an advantage
over the many, we would be a sectional
party because we would only appeal te
those specially henefited by the legis
lation promised, but we are not trying
to get your hands into somebody else's
pocket. We are trying to keep othaf
people's hands out of your pockets, an 4
when a party seeks nothing but justice
and promises nothing but equal righta,
you can appeal to all people every
where who are seeking to make gov
ernment a blessing to all and not
merely an advantage to the few. Par
tiality in government, favoritism in
government, these have been curses of
government in the past, and to-day tha
greatest fault than can be found with
this or any other government is that
Instead of being administered as a gov
ernment of the people, for the peoplt
and by the people, it is administered In
the interest of a few, who grow rich
by using the instrumentalities of gov
ernment against the great majority.
"I charge against the Republican
party to-day that in all its policies it is
Ignoring the producer of wealth and
disregarding the rights of the plain peo
ple in its effort to give some a great
opportunity to exploit the rest."
During his speech some one in the
crowd, evidently not well informed,
isked him why he had signed the peace
treaty of Paris.
"I did not sign it," replied Mr. Bryan.
"I was not President and there would
have been no such treaty signed if I
bad been President."
He then took occasion to explain his
participation in the matter of the rati
fication of the t?eatv and said he had
tifc apologies tp male for it. Continu
ing his. address, Mr. Bryan ajd;
"rn rrns Town mere is a monument
reared to the man who wrote the
"Star Spangled Banner.' Do you know
that when you vote for a colonial
policy you vote to destroy that as tlM
national hymn A Filipino cant sing
Be Star Spangled Banner.' "
Baltimore, Md.. October IS. William
J. Bryan dvoted the entire day to
speech -malting in Maryland, speaking
in succession at RockviUe. FVederick.
Brucevllle, fnioa Bridge. New Wind
sor, Westminster and this cKy this
evening. The Roekvl!le meeting was
the only one of the day that was not
marred by raia. On account of the
downpour most of the meetings were
cut short, but the crowds In each case
remained until Mr. Bryan had con- .
eluded hi remarka
The greeting extended Mr. Bryan on
his arrival here this evening and during
he meeting he.d outside and inside of
Music Hail were limited in numbers by
the capacity of the places In which the
meetings were held and in enthusiasm
only by the ability of the immense
crowds to give expression to it. It was
raining generally, but steadily when
the special train bearing the Demo
cratic candidate pulled into Union sta- i
tion. an hour late, but this did not
prevent the assemblage of a crowd of
fully 10,000 persons about the depot. A !
parade was formed and Mr. Bryan
drove at its head to the Hotel Rennert, !
where he dined with several Democratic '
leaders, including former United States
Senate: A. P. Gorman, Governor John
Walter Smith and Mayor Hayes, of this
city.

Spain linn Never Been Publicly
A ii 11 o 11 lived.
Chicago, October 23 Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, made the following state
ment to-day:
'"The instructions given to the com
missioners on the part of the United
States to negotiate the treaty with
Spain In Paris in 18i8 have never, so
far as I know, been made public. When
the treaty was before the Senate for
ratification there was a great demand
that these instructions should be made
public. So tfreat was the desire for in
formation that many newspapers pub
lished inside information about what
these instructions contained. But for
some reason, and doubtless not an un
important one, this desire was not
gratified.
"The President in his 4etter of ac
ceptance, quoted a part of these, as I
understand, secret instructions. I ad
dressed him in a note October 5th, call
ing his attention to this fact and re
quested that inasmuch as the part 0
the instructions which he considered
favorable to the position of his political
party was so used by him, the remain
der should be made public. Conceiving
impossible that the President of the
United States would use part of a se
cret document ror u.e advancement cf
bis personal fortunes and ti.e interest
of his own political party and at the
same time refuse to the public the re
mainder of this document, I expected to
have a prompt answer from the Presi
dent. I have now waited for more than
two weeks and have not had the honor
of an acknowledgment even of the re
ceipt of my note."
MR. CLEVELAND NON-COMMITTAL.
Trenton, N. J., October 23. The Tren
ton True American will to-morrow
quote ex-Presideat Cleveland as say
ing: "I am not aware of having made any
statement that would justify the asser
tion that I am going to support Mc
Kinley." Mr. Cleveland declined to make any
statement regarding his petition, and
the words quoted were made in re
sponse to a suggestion from the re
porter that a recent letter of his reiter
ating his financial views of 1895 was
being construed as meaning he in
tended to support Mr. McKinley in the
present campaign.
DR. II. M. WHARTOM'N CASE.
The Doctor Pleads to the Clyirse '
Taking Money Illegally.
Freehold, N. J., October 23. Three in
dictments against Rev. Dr. Henry M.
Wharton, the evangelist, of Baltimore,
who was charged with fraud and tak
ing money illegally, were handed up to
day by the Monmouth county grand
jury. Dr. Wharton is charged by Miss
Clara Somers, of Ocean Grove, with
having obtained money under false pre
tenses. Miss Somers transferred prop
erty to Mr. Wharton to be used as a
home for children. She had the doctor
arrested upon a charge of raising
money by mortgaging It. His friends
asserted that there was some mistake.
Dr. Wharton, through his attorney,
states that there is really one mort
gage on the orphanage property, that
of $8000. This, he says, covers pri
marily personal effects and real estate
In Baltimore more than sufficient to
pay it, and the mortgage on the Somers
property is only as collateral security.
There was a mortgage of $2000 oi the
property, he says, when he took it,
which was to have been taken up by
the mortgage in the later transac
tion. Dr. Wharton declares that his arrest
is the result of a conspiracy against
him Instigated by residents of Balti
more. Since his arrest he has been in
receipt of numerous letters and tele
grams, offering aid. No date has ei
been set for the trial.

BRYAN l?nVEST VIRGINIA
LARGE Al OIEXC KH ii REET DEMO
CRATIC STANDARD BEARER
Hlnton. West Virginia. October 22. -The
line of the Chesapeake railroad travers
ing tr.e picturesque valleys of the Big
Kanawha and New rivers was the scene
of Mr. Bryan campaign to-day. Speeches
were made at Huntington, Hurricane. St.
Albans, Charleston. Brownstown. Bast
Bank. Montgorm ry. Sewed. Thurmond
and Hinton. Tin- size of the audiences
varied, but all of them were large in pro
portion to the population of the towns and
of the surrounding c QUO try. There were
especially fine crowds at Huntington.
Charlestown and Hinton. people coming
into those towns from all adjacent re
gions. The one notable feature of the day was
Mr. Bryan's repeated reference to the
rae-e question. His line of travel to-day
was further south thm he had gone be
fore, and farther than he will again go,
end there were quite a number of colored
people scattered through th crowds at
all the stopping places. Mr. Bryan evi
dently noted thHr presence and took oc
casion to address portions of his speeches
especially to them, appealing to them to
do justice by the Filipinos as they would
have justice done by themselves. The first
point at which he touched upon this ques
tion was at St. Albans. There he sail:
"When we complain that the Republi
cans are applying in the Philippine islands
doctrines that deprive people of the right
to govern themselves the argument fchat
a Republican makes is that some of the
Southern States have adopted amend- ,
ments requiring an educational qualifica
tion for voting. I wish to submit this
question to the Republicans. Do they ap
prove of what is being done In the South
or do they oppose it? If they oppose it,
why do they propose worse things In
Porto Rico and in the Philippine Islands
than have been proposed in the South?
Read the qualifications adopted by your ,
own administration for voting In Porto
Rico and you will find that they have an
educational qualification there that de
prives 83 per cent, of the black men of
voting age of the right to vote; not only
this, but they deprive them of the protec
tion of the Constitution of the United
States. In the Philippine Islands they are '
going on the theory that the brown people
there have no right to a voice in their
government, and when a Republican tells j
a black man in this country that he ought j
to vote the Republican ticket, 1 want the
black man to ask him this question: If a
brown man in the Philippine Islands has
no right to a voice In his government,
What about the black man?'
"And I want to ask what black mnj
can stand on his own right to a voice iu
his own government if he votes the Re
publican ticket and denies to thp people
In other lands a right to a voice in their
government. And if the Republicans teU
the colored man that he Is under obliga
tions to the Republican party, let the col
ored man reply that ho has paid Ins debt
yf gratitude. If Lincoln were here the col
ored man might vote for hnn, but the
modern leaders of the Republican party
have had more from the colored man than
they have given to him. The colored man
has bestowed Presidencies upon the Re
publican party and received janitorshlpa
In return. I want the cqred men before
they vote the Republican tieke-t to know
that the policy of the Republican party
is to send a few white men to the Philip
pine islands and hold those white men in
authority over ninety-nine per cent, of
the population, which will be brown, and
this is to be done by a standing army. In
stead of using the race question as a rea
lon why we should annex the Philippine
Islands, let the race question be a warn
ing to us not to bring to this country a
Class of people who are to share in the
full destiny of our nation. 1 want the
Filipino to have Ins own flag and his own
government and to work out Ids own
destiny, and I want this nation to stand
by him and say to the world, 'Hands off;
let this republic live.' "
Mr. Bryan reverted to the race questloa
In his speech at Charleston. There he
said:
"Forty years ago the Republicans sai
that a black man should not sell for 4
thousand dollars, but now they will buy
brown men by the job lot for two dollars
and a half a piece. They said a generation
ago that the Declaration of Independence
applied to a black man. Now they say it
Joes not apply to a brown man. It cost
us hundreds of thousands of lives and
hundreds of millions of money to take
aut of the Declaration of Independence
the exception clause thxit excluded the
black man. Now shall we wage a war of
conquest to write in the Declaration of
independence another exception clause
excluding the brown man? No, our pro
gress has been upward up to this time.
Let it not be backward from now on. Do
not dare to deny to any people in for
eign lands the right that you claim fo
yourselves, for if you have a right to you
government the Filipino has a right te
his, and if you deny him the rlgitt to his
own government, you will not long have a
right to yours."
Mr. Bryan also referred to the race
question in ether speeches during the day.
In his discussion at Huntington of ths
question of government by injunction Mr.
Bryan quoted an extract from an article
written for the Review of Reviews by
Governor Roosevelt, in September, 1S9,
and continued: "You laboring men whs

you would have soen that wo could

When Mr. Bryaa eSBcfofled hU reply his

date for Governor, he talked to n vast
assemblage, having to speak In tv.
places. Spectators interrupted the
speaker with questions, in every in
stance receiving a teply.
At West Nyack, a man close t- the
;ar cried and reiterated: "Hurrah t"i
Bryan," and Mr. Roesevell replied:
'Why don't you hurrah f. : Altgeid and
Igulnaldo?" Tin c heeling ceased. An
nher called: 'What about the ice
trust?" and he anrweied: ""This elec
tion will be decided by the patriots and
Tien of sense in ti.e country, who uut
sumber the junker shouters of vour
type. The Ice trust will lx attended to
n a proper way." A nun. in the 1 row d
at New burgh -said, in a low tone of
i-olce: "Why did you call Democrats
towards and dishonest?" Roosevelt
neard him and flung back quickly this
characteristic reply: "It's a lie. I
sever said sucb a thinj;. if in Demo
crats, good Dem-ca8, who ill rwell
)ur majority."
Towards the end of his remarks at
Newburgh the Governor was interrupt
ed a number of times by s m- shouts
Df "What is the matter with Bryan?"
"Down with the trusts." Governor
Roosevelt remarked: ' That gentleman
has all the sympt ms of a Bryanite,"
Which sally was --reeled with laughter
and applause. Then, walking over to
bne side of the platform and speaking
directly towards the point from which
the shouts arose. tn- Governor said:
"You look like or. t those men who
Work exclusive!) with their mouths.
What, do yeu mean i down th" cotton
bale trust of Mr. Jones, or the ice trust
bf Mr. Croker. (Cries of "What is the
matter with Bryan?" "He's all right.")
That is an argument of wind. (Greal
applause.) You are afraid to hear the
truth. You interrupt this meeting I e
cause you aie a hoodlum and nothing
else. You represent those people who
naturally object t" prosperity; you
don't get any part of it because yon
won't work. (Applause.) Now, then,
go back to yur fellow-hobos (ap
plause) and learn alter this tit: re ai
plause, more yelling, and the man evi
dently turned to depart) that you stand
against the flag, you haven't got a par
ticle of patriotism in you. I am glad
that you are going away. 1 think you
have learned enough hereafter not to
monkey with the buzz-saw. (Long, con
tinued applause.) Now. gentlemen, In
the temporary absence of the- local 1 ci
lice, I have driven eft the disturber of
the meeting." (Applause.)

"There was never a time." s.ii-1 Senator

The colored troops are always In line and
ready for action. As long as th Repub

attached to It the colored population of
the United States, the colored vote will
never be divided.
"All the collateral Issues Injected into
this campaign by the Bryanltes am out it
to just one issue, and one short m n 1
tells it: I t well enough alone.' No mar,
who lov s his country, no man who i

"I do not believe there is any doubt
that Mr. Rryan will cuiry New York. I
