The most valuable grain cargo ever carried on the Great Lakes is being loaded in Duluth by tho new steamer Howard Shaw.

The Shaw is loading 260,000 bushels of flax for Buffalo and the flax Is Insured for $1.80 per bushel. This would make the total value of the cargo $468,000, which Is by all odda the most valuable grain shipment ever carried on the lakes. The vessel is valued at $350,000. The loss of the vessel and cargo, therefore, would mean a loss of more than $818,000. FRATERNAL ORDER SWINDLED.

Shamokin, November 2 O. J. Reed, an ex councilman, who was recently convicted of conspiracy in connection with borough paving contracts and admitted to bail pending a decision of the superior Court for a new trial, disappeared three days ago. Last night it was discovered that the local lodge of Maccabees, of which he was record keeper, had been Imposed upon through the forging of death certificates of Benjamin Davis and Thomas Shoener to the extent of J8.O00. Davis, who was in Michigan, noticed he was listed as dead in the official newspaper of the order and informed his relatives here that he was alive.

This started an inquiry. ALVORD'S BAIL, $150,000. Discharged by the State Authorities, He Is at Once Rearrested on a Federal Warrant. Magistrate Flammer at 11 o'clock this morning discharged Cornelius L. Alvord, the defaulting note teller of the First National Bank, who is charged with stealing $690,000, from custody.

Magistrate Flammer said that he was satisfied that he had no jurisdiction in the case. Alvord walked out of the court, followed by Deputy United States Marshals H. M. Blake and J. E.

McAvlney. When he reached the corridor Blake put his hand on Alvord's shoulder and McAvlney showed him the warrant issued several days ago for his arrest by United States authorities. He submitted to re arrest and was taken to Commissioner Shields' court room in the Federal Building. He was followed by Jacob H. Miller, Alvord's lawyer, United States District Attorney Burnett and Assistant United States District Attorney Baldwin.

A large crowd of persons, all anxious to see the prisoner, followed and crowded the small court room to its utmost capacity. The Commissioner explained to Alvord that he was charged with embezzlement of $690, 000 from the First National Bank. He then explained to Alvord his rights, saying that he was entitled to an examination. Alvord demanded an examination and the proposed date was discussed. Mr.

Baldwin said: "We can go on Mon day; of course nothing can be done Tuesday as that Is Election Day." Mr. Miller said that he had a case on for Monday and that that day would not suit him. It was then agreed to, upon the suggestion of Commissioner Shields, that the examination to be set down for next Wednesday at 2 P. M. The question of ball was then taken up.

Mr. Baldwin said: "We generally insist in cases of this character upon hail equal to the amount taken. That, of course. Is impossible in this case, but we must ask for an amount that will secure the attendance of the prisoner, therefore we ask that the prisoner be held in ball to the amount of $200,000." Commissioner Shields then said: "The amount of ball should be large enough to secure the attendance of the prisoner. In this case It must also be taken into con sideration that the prisoner has been a fu citive from justice." Up to this time Gen eral Burnett had listened quietly.

He then arose and said: If bail is fixed in such Bum that the prisoner might use embezzled money to secure bonds he might again be come a fugitive. I do not think at this time that is excessive. After some further discussion Commissioner Shields fixed bail at $150,000 and Al vord was removed to Ludlow Street Jail. TO END WAREHOUSE BUSINESS. St.

Justice Scott Intimates That Legislation Against the Barren Island Company Is Unconstitutional.

The demurrer filed by the Department of Public Health to the complaint in the action against the city, brought by the New York Sanitary Utilization Company for an injunction restraining the Health Board from enforcing the provisions of an act passed by the Legislature in 1900, containing a provision that "it shall not be lawful to carry on, establish, or continue within the Borough of Brooklyn, the occupation of rendering by steam or boiling garbage, swill or offal," was to day overruled by Justice Scott of the Supreme Court, Manhattan. Corporation. Counsel Whalen is, however, allowed to answer the complaint, if he sees fit to do so, without payment of. costs. The Utilization Company is a foreign corporation, organized under the laws of New Jersey.

On June 6, 1S96, the company entered into a contract with the City of New York, as it then existed, to receive the garbage from the dumps of the Department ot Street Cleaning and to dispose of it "in such manner only as would render It unobjectionable in every respect." In accordance with this contract the plaintiff erected a plant on Barren Island, to dispose of the material, which it completed before January 1, 1897, and also entered Into a contract with the (then) City of Brooklyn. The contract with New York was for five years from August 1, 1S96, and that with Brooklyn for five years from January 1, 1897, since which date the plaintiff has carried on the work prescribed by his contract The plaintiff obtained the contract only after the subject of the disposition of the garbage had been fully considered by a commission appointed by the Mayor, when it was agreed that its system was the best. The contract with the company was made at a price $125,000 more than that of the lowest bidder. The act debarring the rendering of garbage within the limits of the Borough of Brooklyn contained several mandatory provisions requiring the discontinuance of any such business in Brooklyn, giving, however, the Board of Health twelve months to make arrangements for the stoppage of such business. The plaintiff alleged that the act was unconstitutional, because it deprived the company of the right to pursue a lawful trade and business, harmless in itself and in no way hurtful to the public; that it deprived tha plaintiff of its property without due process of law.

and that it impaired the obligation of a contract. Justice Scott declares that the statute clearly violated several constitutional provisions, as it does not declare the prohibited business to be a nuisance, and, while p'rohibiting the carrying on of the business in Brooklyn. Impliedly permits its transaction in any of the other boroughs ot Greater New York. "It may be." says Justice Scott, "that the Legislature could, for the preservation of tile health of the public, abrogate and annul such a contract, but it could not do so without making compensation to the injured parties."

speeches, but must appeal for votes through the work of a fellow member? By mail to day I received a bunch of Billy Sulzer's speeches against Commissioner of Pensions Evans; It was sent In the usual franked envelope with Congressman Edmund H. Driggs' card in the corner and was evidently a bid for the veterans' vote. A fine spectacle of electioneering for a Congressional candidate. WILLIAM H. LAWRENCE.

Brooklyn, October 31, 1900. TRAINING SCHOOL DISCUSSION. Controller Coler Says Major Keiley Insists on Sticking to Personalities. Controller Coler said to day he did not think further discussion with Major John D. Keiley regarding the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School was of public interest be cause the latter would not stick to the subject of the school.

"He does not reply to the arguments I advanced." Mr. Coler said, "but always returns to personalities. The whole question will probably come before the Legislature and then he will have a chance to give his reasons for the school's continuance. I think If it Is continued at all it should certainly be Dut under the control of the Commissioner of Corrections, for It is a correctional Institution, but I have not changed my opinion, that it should be done away with. We can find a place for the Hebrew children who need to be sent to a correctional institution." A CHURCH FAIR.

BOXER VILLAGES DESTROYED.

Inhabitants Punished by the Allies for Atrocities Committed Missionaries Rescued Peace Terms Discussed. Paris, November 2 A dispatch to the Haras Agency from Peking, dated October 31, says: "As the result of inquiries made by the International commission, under General BaUloud (second in command of the French troops in China), the allies are convinced that the grand treasurer and the Governor of Paoting Pu and a Chinese colonel were instrumental In the murder of American and English missionaries and they have been condemned to death and will be executed soon. "General Voyron (commander in chief of the French troops in China), with the allies under his command, is purging the villages around Tientsin and Peking. Many villages, infested with Boxers, have been destroyed and their inhabitants punished. A French column, sent to Tuen, rescued the missionaries there.

Another French column met with resistance at Sletchung. The enemy's losses were considerable. The village was burned. "News received from Paoting Fu Indicates a movement of French and German troops upon Sillng, where the Imperial tombs are situated. It is rumored that the army of Tang Yu Kante has resolved to defend the place.

VThe foreign ministers continued to day the icussion of the peace propositions to be pre sented to the Chinese. The French pro posals were accepted. Additional specifications will be discussed Monday. On account of the necessity for thorough accord between the different cabinets, the final note will not be presented for several weeks." Pour Murderers of Missionaries Sentenced to Death.

German and French troops will garrison at Paoting Fu for the winter. The preparations are complete for destroying, October 27, the most venerated temple in the city. EMPRESS MUST BE DEPOSED. Powers Will Also Insist on Doubling Duties and a Minister of Foreign Affairs. Washington, November 2 It was stated to day in quarters well versed in Chinese affairs that outside of the queetions of indemnity, punishments, now under negotiation at Peking, there are three vital and far reaching questions to be determined, first the re moval of the Empress Dowager, personally and through the influence of her advisers, from all participation In the Chinese gov ernment; the creation of an indemnity fund by the increase of China's customs rev enue, either by the payment of the duties in gold instead of depreciated silver as at pres or else by doubling the present silver duties from per cent, to 10 per cent, ad va iuieiu, anu, imra, me estaDiishment of a minister of foreign affairs, in place of the old and cumbersome system of the Tsung xamen.

The demand for the retirement of the Empress Dowager is said to result from tho conclusion now generally accepted, that the imperial government of China waB responsible for the Boxer uprising. As the Empress Dowager was the ruling authority of the imperial government during the uprising, thle responsibility is brought home directly to her. There is understood to be no purpose, however, to visit upon her any personal punishment or indignity, but merely to so form the reconstructed government, as to exclude her from all participation in it. It is deemed advisablo for that reason that she should remain permanently away from Peking and that her advisers also should be kept away from the scat of government. The plan of doubling China's customs duties has arisen from the need of finding a souroe to pay war indemnities, which the various powers demand.

It appears, however, that the increase of the duties has heretofore been brought to the attention Of the United States government by Ll Hung Chang. This occurred during his visit to Washington a few years ago when it was represented that the 5 per cent, was fixed In 1858, by treaties with the United States, Great Britain and other countries, and was payable in sliver, at which time silver was worth as much as gold. But with the change of value between silver and gold, Ll Huns Chang pointed out that China's 5 per cent, duty in silver actually netted only about 2 per Judged by the prevailing gold standard. The matter was not pressed at the time. China's present customs revenues are said to be already pledged to meet the interest and principal of Chinese loans, so that It will require some entirely new source to meet the indemnities.

In case the enlarged duties are determined upon, it Is understood that their collection will be placed under the supervision of representatives of the powers at least until the indemnities are paid. The plan of substituting a minister of foreign affairs in place of the Tsung ll Ya men has long been in contemplation, as foreign representatives have found it very difficult to deal with this mixed body, and to locate responsibility upon it, particularly during the Boxer troubles. AMERICANS EJECT FRENCH. Latter Had Refused to Leave Special Train for the Former When Requested. Tientsin, via Shanghai, 2 Yesterday at Yengtsun a party of French officers a coach of the special train assigned to carry the Fourteenth United States Infantry to Tongku and declined to leave when requested to do so.

Chicago Police Had to Interfere to Obtain a Hearing for the Senator.

CROWD CHEERED FOR BRYAN When the Disturbers Were Subdued the Ohio Mas. Delivered His Speech in Peace. Chicago, November 2 Mark Hanna bowed to a storm of hisses, cat calls and cheers for William Jennings Bryan in the big circus tent at Halsted and Thirtieth streets last night, giving up his attempt to get a hearing until the police had restored order. For forty five minutes the mob had Its will, and then seventy nollcemen took a hand and cleared the aisles. Before Senator Hanna arrived, speeches by Judge Yates and others had been accorded a mixed reception by the large crowd congre gated beneath the tent When Senator Hanna stepped upon the platform and was Intro duced by Sheriff Magerstadt, a demonstration ensued which, instead of subsiding after a few moments, continued with full vigor.

The Senator waited patiently for quiet to be re stored, but appreciating that apparently a plan to prevent him from speaking was being carried out by groups of men and boys sta tioned in the audience, made the attempt, anyway. "Tho followers of Mr. Bryan are so earnest for his success that they are afraid to hear a man speak," said Senator Hanna, but his voice carried but a short distance beyond the platform. "They do not dare to listen to tne areuments that are aimed at their candi date." continued the Senator. "It is certainly gratifying, my friends, that I am of so much Importance that the mends or.

flir. uryan are afraid of me. Finding it lmpssible to proceed, because of the unceasing noise, tne speaker sat aown upon the table, and, as he gazed at the audience, said: "I'm in no hurry." Then, above all the confusion he was beard to shout: "Why don't you go over to the North Side? Bryan Is over there, and they need you to swell the crowd. "We are called upon in this campaign to answer certain questions, and our Judgment must be exercised, continued the speaker. under extreme difficulties.

"The people of the country are interested only In those mat ters which affect them individually. Many Issues have been brought into this campaign for the purpose of leading the people away from the vital Issue. What I have to say to you Is to let well enough alone. "There are men in this audience who shout for Bryan who would not do so if they knew ne could oe elected. I am well aware that the opposition to law and order do not want me to speak in this ward, because they know that the principles for which I stand are in the interest of law and order.

You are only making votes for McKlnley by your actions here to night. There Is not a man under this canvas who would like to be called a traitor or a violator of the principles upon which our government was lounaed one of these principles Is that wnich favors free speech. All we ask Is to be given the consideration which you would ask for yourselves." Here Senator Hanna had to give up tne attempt to speak, and Sheriff Magerstadt demanded of the police authorities that oraer De restored, when everyone had been compelled to sit down and some of the ring leaders among the disturbers expelled from the meeting, John M. Harlan of Chicago qui eten tne crowd witn a story, and talked briefly of the issues of the camoalsm. Wlii he had concluded.

Senator Hanna resumed his speech, and nnlshed without interruption. CREDITORS WILL WAIT. Dissolution of Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Company Stayed by Talk of Reorganization. A hearing was had this morning In the case of the proposed dissolution of the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Company before John K. Judge, the commissioner appointed by the Supreme Court, In his ofllce, at 29 Broadway, Manhattan.

Most of the creditors who petitioned for the dissolution of the company were represented by their attorneys. After a very short hearing the creditors agreed not to presB the claim for dissolution at present, and a further hearing in the case was set down for January 4. Ever since the beginning of the legal proceedings following the announcement of the company's bankruptcy and the appointment of a receiver, efforts have been going on looking toward the reorganization of the concern, and although none of the persons immediately concerned will say anything definite as to what had been accomplished, it Is known that the reorganization Is more than likely to be effected. In fact, the ad journment this morning was taken largely for luo purpose ot not interrenng with these plans. Among the appearances before Mr.

Judge this morning were the followlne Rnw7 t. Sands, for the petitioners: James Metroon for George H. Southard and others; Edward nminan, lor trustees or tne estate of William Balrd and certain other stockholders Davis, Stone Auerbach. for several of the creditors; Robert J.

The charge brought against him was that he had left quarters without leave and had remained absent for three days and twenty hours. Corcoran has been in the Fire Department eighteen years and nine months. Three years ago he went on a somewhat similar escapade, absenting himself without per mission. When charges were about to be brought against him, he resigned. That was on June 3, 1897.

The Investigation of the Grand Jury Into the condition of the Disciplinary Training School for Boys was reported, and it was recommended that the building In use now be repaired Immediately, that appropriations be made for the erection of buildings to accommodate the scholars.

It was also announced by the Grand Jury that the water supply had been Inquired into, but that there was no reason why immediate action should be taken. After thanking the Grand Jury for their labors. Judge Asplnall said that the County Court had broken the record for disposing of criminal business in the month of October. More than two hundred and sixty cases had been disposed of, and more than one hundred and fifty prisoners had been committed to penal Institutions. The presentment by the Grand Jury follows: "The Grand Jury of Kings County, sworn for the month of October, 1900, beg to make the following presentment: "The recommendation of the September Grand Jury as to investigating the water supply of the Borough of Brooklyn we have followed.

The chief engineer of the Nassau Water Department has appeared before us and has stated that the necessary bonds for building the additional conduit desired have been authorized and that on November 1 bide for doing the work will be opened; barring unexpected delays, before another summer Is upon us, the supply of water will be ample. We also learn that the Municipal Assembly has authorized the expenditure of an additional sum of $75,000 for the erection of an additional pump at the Millburn Station. We see no reason for action on the part of this Grand Jury. "On October 18, the Grand Jury visited the public institutions. We found the Kings County Hospital in good shape, but we recommend the removal of the engine house and laundry to a safer distance from the other buildings as a precaution against fire.

We note the overcrowding of the Almshouse and recommend the erection of additional buildings for the county poor, with the addition of a sufficient number of elevators in the present building. We visited the penitentiary and found it in excellent condition under the present management We condemn most strongly the present, woman's prison in the Raymond Street Jail and recommend that one of the present idle shops in the penitentiary be made use of under the Sheriff for a woman's prison, pending the erection of a new woman's jail in Raymond street, which we strongly recommend. We recommend, also, that committed criminals be separated from inmates awaiting trial. "On October 24, the Grand Jury visited the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School, on Eighteenth avenue, between Fifty eighth and Fifty ninth streets, aqc found the building in such a condition as to render it unfit for habitation. It is the opinion of this Grand Jury that the maintenance of this or a similar institution is an absolute necessity to this borough.

We wish heartily to commend the management of and the system now In vogue. We recommend the immediate repairing of the present building. We also recommend that the Board of Estimate appropriate a sum sufficient to provide for the erection of a new building to meet the future needs of the institution. "We also recommend that the attention of the police be drawn to crap shooting on the public streets, as. in the oninion of the r.ranrt Jury, this particular offense is an incentive to crime among our young boys.

"November 2, 1900." An Old Presentment Recalled. The following is a copy of the presentment handed up by a Grand Jury, while Foster L. Backus was district attorney: "We found that during the past month there were about thirty boys, between the ages or 7 and 14 years, who were brought before the courts in Brooklyn, charged with misdemeanors. We found on our visit to Raymond street Jail a boy prisoner there who said he was 14. but who appeared to be about 10 years of aee.

He is confined there for a misdemeanor. He is an orphan and probably a bad boy and needs careful discipline and training. This appears to use to be a typical case. There is no institution in the City of Brooklyn where boys of this kind, under the aee of 16. can receive proper discipline and training.

"There is a provision of law which they may be sent to the House of Refuge, on Randall's Island, In New York. An effort was made by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to have a disciplinary institution for boys established here to be under the control of the city authorities. Such a bill was passed by the Legislature in 1S96. which provided for a place of discipline for boys between the ages of 7 and 14 years, who bad been found guilty of misdemeanors. Under this provision of law the Mayor of the City of Brooklyn appointed a commissioner to have charge of such disciplinary scnooi.

Under the law that commissioner presented to the Board of Estimate an estimate for the necessary expenses of running such an institution for the ensuing year. In the opinion of the Grand Jury these children who are either without parents or who have parents not qualified to discipline them are the children of the state, and money expended for their discipline and education we regard as money well expended, and we believe It is to be the duty of the city to make provision for such discipline, training and support. We, therefore, earnestly recommend and urge that provision be made for the establishment in the City of Brooklyn for a disciplinary and training school with this provision of law.
