Issued by the Republican Con gressional Committee. Forgeries of a Quarter Million Astor Heiresa to Wed a Poor Man Har vard Oarsmen Make No Excusea. Burglar Trap Kills Woman Pepper mint Growers Organized. The Republican party, Us achieve ments for half a century, and particu larly Us rccoid In the present con mess, Is commended to the voters of the country in the campaign text book Issued this week by the Republican congressional committee. The book contains 273 pages. Every statement made and all fig ures presented are declared in uie foreword of the book to be ofllciul or nnthoi'it.'itivn. The foreword con cludes: "The truth is, the highest ex emnlillratlou of Reiiublicun doctrines and policies and party record Is the best plea that can he mude for contin uation In power." In discussing the campaign Issues of 19iKi, the hook calls attention to the fan that since thn termination of the 5l!rd congress in 895 tho house of rep resentatives has been Republican ana adds: "There is every reason to ex pect that u substantial working Repub lican majority will be elected next riO- veinber." During those 10 years. It is stated, "we have made a greater ad vance, as a nation and a pcoplo than was ever made before in a generation ind in ninny respects greater than dur ing our whole previous history. There cannot, then, bo the least doubt of Re publican success If the voters study carefully tho record of the two par ties." Because of the various financial and tariff measures of the Republican party, which the hook says have brought about competition In manu factures, It Is declared that a home market has been built up in thie country, "of such magnitude that for several years we have given full em ployment to labor at wages about double those paid when the Republi can party came Into power. In some cases these wages are treble and quadruple what they were In 1800." The Important laws cited as enacted at the last session of congress include railway rates, the Panama canal, pure food, moat Inspection, free alcohol. sta'ehood admission, consular reor ganization, national niiarantlne acainst yellow fever, rigid steamboat inspec tion, limitation of Immunity of wit nesses In criminal cases, promotion of til I lit In efficiency, nld for San Francisco sufferers, establishment of a iiationTU cenietarv embracing tho crave of An drew Jackson with 14 acres of land, marking the graves of Confederate tolcliers. -lampstown Exposition aid. 320 public acts altogether and 3.69G private pension nets. The keynote of the discussion of the tariff question is sounded In the fol- lowini; statement: "Protectionists are content to let the present law staud without change or amendment so long as present conditions prevail." Forgeries of a Quarter Million-. Foruerles for more than & ouarter of a million dollars by Frank Hippie, the suicide president of the wrecked Ileal Estate Trust company of Phil- sadelphia, have been discovered by Re ceiver Karle. Tho latter made this statement Friday night, adding that tie hud no idea where Hippie s villainy would end. Hippie, in order to meet his Immense overdrafts, used the names of some of the most prominent business men of the city on notes which In some cases amounted to 1150,000. The president took copies of signa tures of a number of business men while some of their checks .or nego tiable securities passed through his lands, but in every case he avoided the use of the name of a, Real Estate Trust comnyiv depositor. When pinched for money to meet his overdrafts or some big loan Mr. Earle said ns a last resort Hippie would 3raw up a note with the forged signa ture attached. This ho would take to the cashier or paying teller saying he had personally made the loan and It ivas discounted. With the amount to lis credit he would satisfy the press '.nc claim. Receiver Karlo said last nlulit Mint 111 order to accomplish the reorganiza tion of the Real Kstato Trust company no would accept the presidency If the Depositors Insisted.

While keenly disappointed at their allure to d' feat the Cambridge crew, on the river Thames, the Harvard oars men are offering no excuses. Eng- ind's crack university crew, Captain Flllcy and each of his men candidly ad mit, was too strong for them. The Americans rowed their best, took ad vantage of every lesson they had earned since reaching England and did not lose hope until Cambridge "osscd the line, but all In vain. Their only wish now Is to have an opportun ity of meeting the wearers of the light blue In Americana waters. The race Is being discussed everywhere and the opinions ns to the cause of defeat of the Americans are as diversified as are the views expressed. The Harvard men are devoting their last week in England to pleasure. They paid a visit Sunday to Emanuel college, Cam bridge, where John Harvard was edu cated. Organization of Peppermint Growers. To secure for the producer a larger price for his product by reducing the profit of tho Jobber Is the aim of the 50 peppermint growers who were In session last week at Kalamazoo, Mich., to form an organization.

New York Ira- porters and manufacturers of essential oils are watching the outcome of the meeting. Attorney General Bird has written one New York firm that if he finds the organization formed by the peppermint growers violates the state law he will take action against the as sociation. The growers do not believe they will violate the law. Has No Fear of Re-Election. When Representative Longworth reached Oyster Bay he said he had spent the day at a meeting of the Inter national policy holders' conmilttee, of which he is secretary. He came east for that purpose and said that he In tended to return to Cincinnati today. He will endeavor to call at the head quarters of the Republican congres sional committee in New York. Speak ing of the political situation In Ohio, he said that no fear was felt of the opiosltlon of organized labor. The effect of this opposition, he said, had been greatly exaggerated.

German Yscht Wannssee Won the Fourth At No Time Yesterday Was the Vim In Danger of Being Beaten. Crossed the Finish Line Four Min utes Ahead of the Auk. Marblehcad, Mass., Sept. 11. The Roosevelt cup, presented by the East ern Yacht club, to Inaugurate yacht ing contests between Germany and America, was won yesterday by the American yacht Vim, owned by Com modore T. L. Park of the American jacht club of New York. By taking the last race the Vim scored her third victory, which gave her owner the much prized cup, as well as the hojior of showing that his yacht was the best all around craft of the six that start ed to race in the series begun a week ago. The Vim won the second, third and fifth wh,le the Auk captured the first race and the Wannssee the fourth. The designer of the Vim was Will iam Gardner and Clifford Bucknam was in command. At no time after the first mark had been passed yesterday was the Vim In danger of being beaten. She led the Auk, the second boat, by more than a minute when the weather turn was reached, and she sailed so fast on the next two legs that she was nearly five minutes ahead when the flrst round ot the triangular course was com pleted. On the second beat over the wind ward leg the Auk gained 40 seconds on the Vim, chiefly because she caught a couple of favorable slants of wind that lifted her out nicely. The Vim still hud a long lead when sheets were eased again for the close reach to the second mark and she in creased the advantage considerably be fore the turn was reached. 0:i the broad reach over the last leg for the final time it was a test of sea manship between Captain Adams of the Auk and Captain Bucknam, for a deuse fog had settled down and it was a case of finding the finish line by the compass. The Vim strayed from her course on the homeward leg and was well to the eastward of the finish line, when Mr. Bucknam located It by the blowing of a whistle on the commit tee's tug Mercury. Trimming his sheets after the Vim's skipper held up and crossed the finish line at 5:23:28, more than four minutes ahead of the Auk. CROP REPORTS.

Great Clly Wanting A war Adkan th SandH Which Sarronnd It. Bokhara la fallen, Samarkand is the seat of a Russian provincial governor, and Merv Is a manufacturing town with a cast iron drinking fountain. Khiva, too, was swallowed In its turn, but disgorged again. Though the king dom fell, it was banded back to Its owners, and no Russian muy now en ter except by Invitation. The Khlvan nobles still ride a-hawk-lug, and caravans lu the Kara Kum sands still fear the armed horsemen who dash down from the north. Though compassed about on every plde by Russian territory and In sight of the breaches made by the Russian guns lu 1873, the Khiva Khan atlll screws his revenue from a trembling people. Burnaliy rode to the city from the north nnd underwent dreadful priva tions to spend three days there. Ar minlus Vaniliery, nearly the most cour ageous traveler of modern times, reach ed there disguised as a holy man. The American McOahan entered with Gen eral Kauffniunu In 1873, Dr. Landsell ami Captain Abbott made the Journey, and, lastly, Robert L. Jefferson, aa re corded in his book called "A Second Ride to Khiva," made a long bicycle ride across the Russian steppes and a camel ride- down to Khiva from Oren burg, In the north. But other than these 1 know only of Russian officers who have been within the gates. Since the Russians themselves have agreed to keep out, they have done all in their power to prevent others from going into the city or even crossing the boundaries of the little kingdom. A hat they fear from visitors it is not easy to imagine. Four antiquated, muzzle loading smoothbore cannon and a cor rupt and unintelligent court circle re volving about a stupid ruler would not repay a second thought even from the spies of the viceroy of India. But the fact is that foreigners are not al lowed access to the state, and the Eighteenth regiment of chasseurs Is quartered at Petro Alexaudrovsk In such a way as to control the Khlvan water supply along the canal from the Oxus. In old days caravnns from Merr and Bokhara were frequent. Carpets and stuffs were sent both west and east from the city in exchange for drugs ami tea. Today some cotton is sent up the river to the railroad, aud occasionally a small party of mer chants comes from the south, but more and more Khiva Is becoming forgotten and Isolated. Modem improvements, instead of carrying her Into the cur rent with the world, have left her In slack water. Tho deserts are a more effective barrier today "than they were two centuries ago, and a great city is left to feed upon Itself till It shall waste nway and become part of the sands that compass It. Laugdon War ner In Century. Sun rrnni-Urn'i Suffering Chorchn. The religious denominations In com mon with nil other Interests suffered heavily in the San Francisco disaster. According to the published lists, nearly Kki church buildings were destroyed. Including miiiiy of the largest and fluest edifices in the city. The Methodists alone eUim n loss of half a million dollars' north of property, nnd several of the v!ier scots and 'denominations have probdy lost as much, nnd some more. Hmv to replace these buildings in the future with others as good will be one of the most serious and per plexing problems before tho church going people of San Francisco, many of whom have been nlmost Impover ished by their Individual losses. The difficulty of reconstruction will be muuh greater In many Instances and the burden much heavier than in case of schools, which will be rebuilt from the public treasury, or In the case of business Institutions which, have a large capital Intact to draw upon.
