HIS FAITHFDL FRIEND MILBANK.
Neither of the 1 Train Have Yeiy Much to
Eay to the reporters.
OPJECTS OF AWE ON THE STEAMSHIP
fBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCn.
LrvEKPOor., April 18. Hallett Alyip
Borrowe and Harry Vane Milbank, who
arrived by the City of Paris in Liverpool
at S o'clock this evening, left on the mid
night train for London. They would have
liked to leave before to join a supper party
at the Savoy Hotel, to which they had in
vited several friends by cable from Queens
town, but the City of Paris arrived in the
afternoon just 20 minutes too late to pass
the bar and get into the Mersey.
Both Milbank and Eorrowe were sound
asleep -when the reporter of The Dispatcii
and New York newspapers boarded the
steamship at 3 o'clock this morning off the
Irish coast. Seven or eight hours later
Purser Mill appraised the two of the pres
ence of the rcnorters, and Milbank said to
Borrowe, '"Now, this is your affair over
here with the newspapers. You may do all
the talking." Borrowe had little to say,
however, except that he had nothing to say.
Borrowe Proves to Be Itetlcenr.
"I have come over here." he replied, in
answer to 3 question as'to what was his ob
ject in returning so soon to London, '"on a
matter of business entirely unconnected
with the Drayton affair." In reply to
questions as to whether he contemplated
challenging Fox or Ochiltree, whether
Coleman Drayton was expected to return to
Europe, or whether Milbank would chal
lenge Due de Moray, he onlv said: "I
have nothing to say: Borrowe did say
that he expected to meet Fox and Ochiltree
to-morrow, when the question as to whether
or not he authorized the publication of the
correspondence would be settled.
Milbank and Borrowe were objects of awe
during the trip of the City of Paris across
the Atlantic. They sat at the purser's ta
ble. "Handsome jack" Barnes, the actor.
and young Teddy Onativia, the dnde, who
were also there, were the only associates
during- the voyage. They came on board
under assumed names, which they dropped
as soon as the steamer left Sandy Hook, and
the second day out every passenger on
board was apprised of the fact that "the
duelists," as they were called, were on the
ship. The other passengers, at their lunch
eons and dinners, with their eyes on the
purser's table, gazed curiously upon Bor
rowe and Milbank.
Onativia Taken for a Dnellst.
As young Onativia sat at the same table,
and walked the deck attached to an iron
chain, at the nether extremity of which was
located a laree, bow-legged bulldog of
vicious aspect, he was mistaken by nianv of
his fellow passengers for one of the duelists,
and shared the glory of the occasion. Bor
rowe and Milbank dined at the Adelphi
Hotel here with Onativia and Btnar 'Miller,
the purser of the City of Paris.
Milbank, in conversation with The Dis
patch reporter, expressed himself as rather
amused than otherwise with his American
experiences. He said the strangest sight he
ever saw in his life was the reporters swarm
ing over the side of the Majestic when he
and Borrowe arrived in New York harbor.
Milbank believes thorouehlv in Borrowe.
He says that the whole story of the Drayton
aflair has not yet been told, and that when it
is made known there will be a reaction of
popular feeling in his friend's favor.
POLICE BATTLE "WITH BTEIKEB3.
A Number of Bohemian T-lnnn Operatives
Becelvn Saber Cuts.
Pbagtje, April 13. The operatives em
ployed in the linen mills at 27achod, in
Bohemia, went on strike, and to-day, find
ing that they were not likely to suc
ceed, assumed a menacing attitude. A large
force of gendarmes tried to disperse them.
A pitched battle followed, the gendarmes
using their sabers, while the strikers used
sticks and stones. The gendarmes finally
dispersed the mob, but not before a number
of them were quite seriously hurt. Several
rioters were badlv cut by sabers.
The strikers number 2,000. They are re
ceiving ample funds from some unknown
place. The strenght of the operatives is
growing, and the strikers are daily gaining
fresh accessions to their ranks.
TIK-PLATEES PLOCKIHG THIS WAY.
The largest Factory in Sooth Waits Dis
charges 600 Workmen.
London, April 13. Six hundred work
men have been discharged from the estab
lishment of the Landore Tin Plate Com
pany, the oldest and largest works
of the kind in South "Wales.
This measure was due to the depression
in the trade resulting from the operation of
the McKinley tariff law. The Landore
have hitherto been notable for keeping their
forces at work when other employers in the
trade had stopped operations.
The tin plate trade is now paralyzed
throughout South "Wales, and every week
numerous tin plate workmen formerly em
ployed in the factories in that region are
emigrating to the United States.

AHASCHISTS IN A NEW JJTELD.
They, nave a Dangerous Grudge Against
Luxemburg's Grand Duke.
.Luxemburg, April 13. Consternation
was caused in the railroad station here to
day by the discovery of two dynamite
bombs on the train just arrived from Brus
sels. They were of a size sufficient, had
they exploded, to have blown the train to
atoms. Each of the bombs weighed 45

pounds, and considerable conjecture is in
dulged in as to the purpose for which inch
great bombs were intended. "Within the
past lew days, alter nignttail, tne sentinels
at the Grand Ducal Palace have noted per
sons loitering about in the darkness, and
apparently trying to get an idea of the ins
and outs of the structure. "When ap
proached, these persons disappeared hastily.'
The Grand Duke Adolphus is known to be
especially hated by the Anarchists, on ac
count of his severity in suppressing all
demonstrations of a popular tendency in
the Grand Duchy.
A cable dispatch from Madrid sayi the
Anarchists seem to come extent to' have
abandoned their dynamite outrages for the
present, and have taken to letter writing as
a means to create fear. The Prefect of Bll
boa lias received a large number of letters,
in which he is threatened with all sorts of
dire vengeance for tbe part he has taken in
bringing about the arrest of Anarchists.
The letters not only threaten the Prefect
himself, but declare that the Anarchists will
in a short time use dynamite to destroy the
churches and public buildings in the city. In
some of the communications addressed to
the Prefect mysterious hints are made of a
oiming deliverance from the yoke of the
"Foreign "Woman," as she is called, who
now rules over Spain.
A Humored Bupturx In Italy's Cabinet.
Rome, April 13. It is reported that
there is a rupture in the Cabinet as the re

LAWMAKING FOR LABOR.
An Important Bill to Workingmen Passed
by the Ohio House The Increase of
Supreme Conrt Judges Falls to Carry A
3IIne Inspector .Reappointed.
Columbus, O., April 13. oJmioL 'An
important bill to the laborers of the State
was passed by the House to-day. It regu
lates the employment of the inmates of the
penitentiaries, reformatories and workhouses
so that it will not interfere with outside
labor. Mr. Flickinger, the author, ex
plained the bill, and it was passed by a
unanimous vote. It provides that the
total number of prisoners and in
mates employed at one time in
the penitentiaries, workhouses and
reformatories in the manufacture of any
one kind of goods which are manufactured
outside of penitentiaries, workhonses and
reformatories, shall not exceed 50 per cen
tum of the number of persons in this State
outside of said penitentiaries, workhouses
and reformatories, employed in manufactur
ing the same kind of goods, as shown by the
last Federal census or State enumeration,
except in industries in which not more than
50 free laborers are employed.
The Senate refused to concur in the
House amendments to the McConica bill to
increase the number of Supreme Judges. The
Democrats voted against the concurrence for
politcal reasons. Tbe House amendment
increased the number of judges to six, and
provided for dividing the court into two
divisions, of equal authority, to try cases.
This would relieve the overcrowded docket,
it is thought.
The Governor appointed Bobert M. Hazel
ton, of Mahoning county, as Chief Inspector
of Mines till April, 1896, to succeed him
self. The appointment was confirmed with-'
out reference.
The bill for the reorganization of Colum
bus, which pased the House, was read the
first time in the Senate to-day. It is be
lieved the bill cannot become a law.
ABLE TO 00 IT ALONE.
Colored Industrial Schools No Longer
In
Need or Financial Aid.
New Tobk. April 13. ISpeciaL The
annual meeting of the trustees of the John
F. Slater fund was held to-day at the office
of President John H. Stewart, of the United
States Trust Company, in Wall street.
The trustees, who were re-elected, are:
Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, of the
United States Supreme Court; Daniel C.
Gilman, President of the Johns Hopkins
University; Senator Alfred H. Colquitt,
Bishop H. O. Potter, John A. Stewart,
Morris K. Jesup, William E. Dodge,
William A. Slater, John A. Broadus, Bev.
J. L. M. Curry and K. B. Hayes.
A new policy in regard to the colored
schools of the South was adopted. The
number of schools to receive aid will be
reduced to include only 12 or 13 of the
largest. j.nis course is taccn in
order to devote more money to
the education of colored teachers.
The trustees think the industrial schools,
which will not be aided under the new ar
rangement, are now in a position to go it
alone because of the many gifts they re
ceive. Last year 37 schools received aid to
the extent of $49,650.

of Alex Stewart, who says he is a grandson
of a brother of Alexander T. Stewart's
father.to eject ex-Judge Henry Hilton from
a parcel of the former estate of Mrs.
Stewart, was begun before Jndge
Pryor, of the Court of Common Pleas, to
day. In the defense appear Elihn Boot and
Horace Bnssell, who will be reinforced by
Joseph H. Cboate. Colonel Bobert G. In
gersoll is expected to appear for the plaintiff
to-morrow, with W. H. Secor, who repre
sented him to-day.
The action is brought to eject Mr. Hilton
from property on Thirty-fourth street, just
west of Madison avenue, on which Mr.
Hilton's stables are built. The suit goes on
the theory that Stewart left no valid will and
that Hilton is keeping the property from
the heirs, for which adverse possession the
plaintiff claims 10,000 damages, as well as
the property. To-day was occupied with
the selection of jurors, and when the jury
was completed tbe case was adjourned until

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
The Steel Association Bulletin's Re
port of Unsold Pig Iron
SHOWS A SMALLEE CONSUMPTION.
Amendments to the Inter-State Law Recom
mended by the Commissioners.
PIKES, FAILUEES AND RAILWAY NEWS
Philadelphia, April la The bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel Association
will say in its issue to-morrow:
The Association has received from the pis
Iron manufacturers full returns of the stocks
of unsold pig Iron In their hands or in the
bands of their agents on March 81 last, and-l
also full returns or the number or the fur
naces In blast at that date. This information
has been compared with 'similar re
turns received for December SI, last. All the
pis iron which has been sold and Is yet on
tbe furnace banks.and all pig iron which is in
stock, but is Intended for tbe use of the
manufacturers in their own rolling mills or
steel works, has been excluded from the
comparative tables. The figures given,
therefore, relate solely to such stocks of pi?
Iron as were actually on the market at the
two dates mentioned.
On the Slst of December last the stocks of
unsold pig iron which were in tbe hands of
the makers or their agents amounted to
898,533 gross tons, and in addition there were
in storage warrant yards 30,900 gross tons,
which were no longer nnder the control of
the makers, making a total of 627,233 gross
tons of unsold pig iron. On the Slst of
llarcb last there were in the bands of mak
ers or their agents 718,679 gross tons of pig
Iron, ana in. addition there were 41,020 gross
tons in storage warrant yards which the
makers no lnnser controlled, makin? 759,599
gross tons of unsold pig iron, or 132,353 sross
tons mors tban on December SI. This is
the largest stock of pig iron ever carried by
the furnaces of this country, the next
largest stock being at the end or 1874 and
1875, when they amonnted to 710,521 and 679,
382 gross tons 1 espeotively.
uuv our consumption in tnose days was not
hair what it is to-day. The number of fur
naces in blast has decreased from 313 on tne
Slst of December to 279 on the 31st of March,
or 34 In all, a fact which would afford much
encouragement were it not accompanied by
an Increase in stocks. Taken together, the
decreased number of furnaoes in blast and
tbe large Increase in stocks in three months
Jilainly indicate that the consumption ofapig
ron has greatly fallen off during that
period.

TEE WHISKY TBUSI'S POLICY
Is to Shut Out' All Competition by lowering
Prices, Bays Greenlmt.
Peokia, III., April 13. The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Distillers and
Cattle Feeders' Company was beld in this
city this afternoon. Everything passed off
harmoniously. J. F. Hennessy, Nols Mor
ris, Chicago, and Jalcs E. French, Hew Tork,
were elected directors to succeed
themselves, and Frank Curtis to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Adolph Woolner. E. M. Pattison,
Cincinnati, was defeated for director. The
present offloors will probably be re-elected
at a meeting of the directors to-morrow. The
stockholders favored the polioy of Presi
dent Greenhut. to cut prices to wipe out op
position. The statement of Mr. Greenhut Is
partly as follows:
He expressed regret that some of the
stockholders, believing purchases had made
tbe trust invincible, bad done considerable
injury to the business of the company by
Insisting that rates be kept at the highest
notch, and by circulating greatly exag
gerated reports concerning the company's
earnings so as to affect the value of the
stock. Pursuing the policy of protecting its
trade at all hazards, the company would, if
necessary, put tbe price of Its product on
such a low basis as to earn little or no
nroflts.
The recent indictment of the officers of
the company at Boston for alleged violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law, was men
tioned, Mr. Greenhut stating that the best
legal talent the company could employ was
of the opinion the Government could not
maintain its suit. The sales of the com
pany' product for tne year ending Maroh
31, 1692, were shown to have increased
nearly '10,000,000 gallons in the last
lour years, and to be 923,648
gallons increase over the previous year, the
total sales for tbe last year being 45,661,717
gallons. The total earnings for tbe year
ending March 31, 1882. were $4,723,887 OS. The
surplus earnings for the year were $326,713 S3.

There was one more row, however, after
most of the spectators and many of the del

caused by the Beaver. Butler, Mercer and
Lawrence Congressional district, which was
tied upon the selection of two delegates to

and a scheme of tbe Harrity people to seat
their friends was checked by the threat to
raise the point of "no quorum" Finally
it was agreed to leave tbe dispute to the
State Committee, if the delegation conld
not settle it by Jnne L

ALL THE ADMINISTRATION.
"Everything Went Ono WaT at Harrisburg
The Allegheny New Demoeracy Turned
Down Hnckrsteln and Frasher Carry
Their Contest to the Chicago Wigwam.
The claims of the Harrity people in the
Twenty-fourth Congressional district were
verified this morning when the district
meeting was held. T. H. Sharpnack, of
Greene, arid S.L. Jlestrezat, of Fayette,
were named as the ones to go to
the Chicago convention, and J. D.
Brader, of Washington, was nominated
for Freiidental elector. This result was
accomplished with the aid of two votes
from. Allegheny, cast by L. M. Fagan and
the substitute who held the credentials of
J. Wershercher. Fagan's entire delegation
was instructed in favor of W. A. Sipe, and
the friends of that gentleman were more
than indignant when the result was
announced. Sipe is tbe leader oi the new
"Democracy of Allegheny county, and that
organization will now be more bitter in its
attacks upon the powers that be tban ever.
The decision of all the Northside contests
in favor of the Harrityites of course knocked
out Huckesteln and Frasher as delegates to
Chicago, and Osburn and Kunkle were sub
stituted in their places by the victorious
faction. The contests brought bvthe Gufley
people in the First Legislative district were
thrown outand in the Second and Seventh
districts the anti-Guffey contestants were all
seated, making the delegation a unanimous
one.
C. M. King, Chairman of the recent Sec
ond District Convention, and one of the
bounced delegates, says: "The action of
the committee is an outrage. No matter
what may be said of other districts, the
delegates from tbe Sceond were honestly
elected, and the administration knows it.1'
"I am very well satisfied with the result,"
said P. Foley, who failed to 'get on the
slate for delegate at large himself, but was
instrumental in the selection of Meyer for
the place. "There were outrageous methods
adopted by the opposition int Allegheny
recently, and the worst that they can say is
that they got a dose of their own medicine."
Meyer and Kunkle are very much
pleased with the fact that theirs is the last
laugh, and the opinions of the minor mem
bers of the contingent are colored by their
respective applications.
Some of Guffey's supporters make hard
threats, but the winners are confident that
nothing serious will happen.
On the delegate-at-largevote, Allegheny
county gave Guffey 17, "Wallace 12, Baer 2,
Jenks 1, O'Brien 10, Hensel 24, Boss 21,
Singerly 13, Hall 18, Meyer 22, Herring 20,
McKinney 20 and Bobinson 2L
To-night Huckesteln and Frasher, the
bounced Northside national delegate aspi
rants, took out necessary contestant papers,
and will make a contest before the conven
tion at Chicago. There is, though, very
little prospect of to-day's verdict being
reversed.

De Forest, who used to be one of the variety

A CliEYEE SCHEME AT LAST FATHOMED
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TITS PISPATcn.J
Kew York, April 13. Wall street
paused to-day to listen to the latest tale of
defalcation. It was the same familiar
story: A young man eager for strawberries
in December and asparagus in January and
fine wines and cigars at all times .and a
mighty slim income with which to meet
even the ordinary expenses of a modest
station.
The United States National Bank at 41
Wall street, of which Dr. James H. Parker,
ex-President of the Cotton Exchange, is
President, and Henry C. Hopkins is cashier,
opened its doors for business abont 10 years
ago in the Washington building, facing
Battery Park. Logan C Murray was their
President, and he remained at the helm
until last July, when the bank was moved
to its present quarters and Dr. Parker was
elected President. The late Mrs. Edward
Searles, widow of Mark Hopkins, of Cali
fornia,, and her husband, bad an interest in
the bank's affair. This interest is now
represented in the bank by Directors
Thomas H. Hubbard and Thomas E. Still
man, of Butler, Stillman & Hubbard; Mr.
Searles' attorneys and Collis P. Hunting
ton. The remaining directors are Dr.
Parker, William P. Thompson and Thomas
W. PearsalL
He fled in a Mighty Bis Harry.
The capital is $500,000. Almost from the
day the bank opened its doors for business,
H. Wiltshaw was one of its most trnsted
employes. He entered the bank's service
as a junior clerk, and rose to be the in
dividual bookkeeper. His duties gave him
direct dealings with depositors. On Nov
ember 14 last Wiltshaw lett the bank
hurriedly in his thin alpaca office coat, and
that's the last Dr. Parker and his associates
have seen of him. At the time Wiltshaw
left he was aware that his books were being
examined. When Dr. Parker became presu
dent in the July preceding he determined
to auike a thorough examination. The ex
pert bad reached Wiltshaw's department
when Wiltshaw left. From that day to
yesterday the expert has been busy on
Wiltshaw's books, and then Dr. Parker
announced authoritatively that Wiltshaw
was a defaulter to the amount of $32,072.94
of which Dr. Parker thinks the bank may
recover $8,700.
Has Been Steallnc Since 1888.
Dr. Parker said that Wiltshaw began his
operations as far back as 1888. Wiltshaw
had not taken large amounts at a time, and
his svstem of covering his tracks was clever.
He was fond of high living, and frequented
the swell restaurants near the Stock Ex
change. He was a member of the Seventh
Regiment. Wiltshaw had many acquaint
ances, and with them he was pretty free in
money matters. He establishedwith them
a system of borrowing and lending, and in
the settlement of the I O TJ's, no matter by
whom held, the United States National
Bank was bound to be "out" every time. For
instance, Wiltshaw would borrow $500 from
an acquaintance, who was also a depositor
in the bank. A few days later the deposi
tor, in the natural course of business, per
haps, would visit the bank. Wiltshaw
would tell him he was ready to pay the
loan, and the depositor, handing out his
bank book, Wiltshaw would credit the
amount in the book; furthermore, he would
credit the amount in his own individual
ledger, and from there the entry was
transcribed to the bank's general leger. The
depositor would draw the amount of his
titchen Economy;

on the market. If another, baking powder is'

It is amazlnc to Mr. Parker and Cashier4
Hopkins that Wiltshaw was clever enough
to cover his swindles as long as he did.
Neither was prepared to say yesterday
whether he believed the depositors having
dealings with Wiltshaw were in collusion
with him. They are now investigating
that line of inquiry and personally examin
ing the deposit books of "Wlltshsw'i
friends.
At the Seventh Eegiment Veteran Club
it was said yesterday that Wiltshaw had
suddenly departed in November, prelum-'
I ably for Europe. He had left the club in
good standing, but since be bad gone away
his dues hod been allowed to lag, and he
will be dropped for non-payment. He
lived at the club a few days )5rior to hit
departure. Since he left no one has in
quired there for him, it was stated.
