VS. -GRADY ASfTJMES A RESPONSIBILITY TnE APPROPRIATION BILL. -Albany, April 19. At the opening: ot tho Senate this morning, Mr. Grady availed himself of a "question of privilege" to call the attention of the Senate to an editorial paragraph, in to-day's Times relative to Senate bill No.

104. Bis object In rising was to relieve the other members of tbe Committee on Cities from all censure with regard to tho bill and to assume the whole responsibility himself. Two of the committee Senators McCarthy and F. Lansing relied In their action on the bill upon statements made by himself, which they had sufficient confidence In his official or personal character to accept as true. Two others-Messrs.

Daly and Covert were not present when the bill was reported, being engaged in other committees. Tbe elevated railroads, he said, were exempted from the operation of the bill for tbe two-fold reason that the validity of the assessment and taxation' provided for under it was now in litigation between the railroads and tbe City, and In that litigation the City bad admitted that more than half of tbe tax levied In 1HS0 was erroneous and void. As to the other corporation, referred to In the seventh scilon, to wit, tbe Pactfio Mall Steam-ship Company," It tjad already been specially exempted from taxation by a law of 1881. and if it bad not beet, excepted from the provisions of bill No. 184 the bill never could have become a law.

Mr. McCarthy said that during tbe discussion of the bill in committee the question also arose as to the best mode of taxing the elevated and other railroad companies, and he understood that another bill. No. 120, had been introduced by those representing the City, providing for a tax based on the gross receipts. Mr.

Jacobs presented the report of the conference committee on tbe Appropriation bill, from which it appeared that the committee had agreed upon most of the items In the bill. It could not, however, agree on tho Item of $:0.000 for the Catholic Protectory, nor upon tbe Items Increasing the salaries of the private secretary of tbe Governor, the leputy Secretary or Stute. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury. Deputy State Engineer, and Secretary of the Hoard of Regents of the University. He moved tbe appointment of another conference committee on these items, which was agreed to, and the Lieutenant-Governor appointed, on behalf of the Senate, Messrs.

Jacobs. Lynde, and Grady. The Item of $450,000 for the National Guard was Increased by the conference committee to as originally fixed in the Assembly. Senator H. A.

Nelson reported from the Judiciary Committee a bill postponing the date on which the Penal Code is to go into effect from May 1, 1882, to May 1. lSt3. The Mil was accompanied by a memorial from several Judges and the District Attorney of New-Yorx asking for the postponement on tbe ground that tbe code made numerous changes in tbe criminal 'aw. and it was desirable that more time should be allowed for its study by those who are to administer it. Mr.

Nelson nnanim us consent that the bill be put on its passage immediately, which, after some discussion, was granted, "and the bill whs passed. Mr. Boyd introduced a bill to prevent bribery and corruption by freight agents or other employes of railroxd. it provides that auv employe of railroads who si all be found guilty of approaching anv member of the with a view to Influence bis vote on any pending bill shall be subject to a one or flood, one hair or which shall go to the Informer. Mr.

Boyd asked unanimous consent that the biu be put upon its passage immediately, and gave as a reason for the request that lobbyists were bere in Albany trying to prevent the of a Railroad Commission bill. Unaulmou-o ns-tit w.iS not granted, and Mr. itoyd then moved that the bill, which had been referred to the Judiciary Com tnittee. be referred to the Committee on Miscella neous Corporations, of which he Is Chairman. Tbe Senate Finally refused to change the reference of the t'lll and left It in the hands of the Judiciary Committee.

That committee agreed this evening 10 report tne Dill adversely. MATTERS BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY. tBE CLERKS SALARIES ACTION UPON PRO' POSED MEASURES. Albany, April 19. The double pay drawn 6y Clerk Johnson ana Journal Clerk Barber was again brought np In the Assembly to-day by the report of Mr.

Dlmon. Chairman of tbe Committee on Expenditures of the House. To this committee was referred the resolution of Mr. Brooks, offered March 17, demanding that tbe sums of money paid to these two clerks from Jan. 8 to Feb.

3 be deducted from their annual session pay, as provided by law. Mr. Dimon reported In favor of tbe adoption of that resolution and accompanied his report with an opinion of tbe Attorney-General to tbe effect that the Bouse bad full authority to fix the salaries of these clerks for the session. Under this decision, it was claimed by Mr. Brooks, the extra back pay could be deducted from tho salaries.

Mr. Brorisky moved to lav the whole mutter on tbe tablo. and have the opinion printed. This summary disposition of wnat Mr. Brooks considers a most important matter provoked his ire -'and he called for a yea and nay vote.

The result was that tne motion was lort by a vote of 69 to 3v. The subject was then disposed of by tbe adoption of Mr. H'loserclt resolution referring it to tbe Judiciary Committee, with Instruction to report a bill deducting the amount something like $b00 from the clerks' salaries, and providing against the repetition of simlar.acts. It was claimed on behalf of the clerks legally speaking, tbey are entitled to the back pay. It seems to be a question of morals rather than of law.

Tbe Mil of Mr. Robb incorporating the Charity Organization Society of New-York has been reported favorably and or ercd to a third reading, air. Springer's Excise bill was also reported favorably. The bill of Major llaggerty prohibiting tbe circulation of false reports calculated to affect the value of stocks and bonds was reported for tbe consideration of the House. Th proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors has been reported by the General Laws Committee the consideration of the House.

The other amendment, providing for biennial sessions of the Legislature, will be the special order for tbe session of Monday nigbt next. Tbe bill of M. 3. Costello. prohibiting tbe running of steam cars on the surface of tbe streets of New-York below Sixtieth-street, save on Fourth-avenue, has been reported favorably.

The bill Mr. Hannan which converts a Republican into a Democratic ward in Brooklyn, and which -was smuggled through the Cities Committee, -s been reported favorably by Col. Murphy. It will now devolve upon the Republicans of the Bouse to defeat it if they can. Doubtless the effort- will be made by tbe McLaughlin Democrats to take it out of the domain of discussion by pushing It through a Subcommittee of the Whole.

Tbe testimony taken by the Receivership Investigating Committee has been ordered to be printed. The Ahearn bill increasing the salaries of New-York policemen and firemen to 1.200. was ordered to a third reading. Mr. Roosevelt was the only New-York member who undertook to criticise tbe bill.

Tbe system pro-nosed of eanallzlng the salaries worked a great Injustice, be claimed, to the older members of tbe lorce. There seems to De a determination among ome of tbe New-York members to force tbe measure through at any cost. NOTES FROM ALBANY. Albaict. April 19.

Much inter st was shown in this class, spectators crowding aroi nd the ring and intently watching the owners and 1 eepers as they paraded the dogs around th ring. The Irish water spaniels, with their tightly curled coats and shaggy topknots, attracted mucl attention In the ring. They are watchful anin ala, invariably barking fiercely wben any person passes their row of stalls at night.

While the bi 11 dogs were under judgment, one of tbe most feroi iousof the class slipped his collar and attempted to attack another dog standing near him, but was pr jmptly grabbed up bv a fearless attendant.

Tha British steam-ship Mary Louisa, Capt. Gibb, which arrived from Newcastle yesterday, brought the entire crew of the steam-ship Renpor, which sailed from West Hartlepool for Boston on March 81, but was caught In the tee and her bows ao badly crushed that she finally went to the bot tom. Capt. K. S.

Osborn, of the lost steamer, stated that he left West Hartlepool with a cargo of 1,110 tons of bloom and pig Iron and 8,000 bags of potatoes, consigned to J. C. Brtgbam or Boston. The weather was quite favorable, and all weut well until tbe morning of April 11, wben the stea-jier was on the southern edge of the Banks of Newfoundland. Large quantities of ice were then discovered ahead.

Capt, Osborn ordered the vessel to be headed to tne southward. She stood in this direction for gome time, but it waa impossible to clear the ice, which toward noon became thicker. The speed of the ship was slackened, but during the afternoon she was completely hemmed In by tbe Ice, which in some places was 6 leet thick, earing mat una would crush In tbe bows, Capt. Osborn ordered the engines to be stopped, although there was plenty of power to bave forced the Renpor through tbe ice. Hardly had the steamer stopped when tne danger was increased by a high north-easterly swell, which caused the Ice-fields to undulate like the land during an earthquake.

There was no way of avoiding the heavy blocks which dashed against the starboard bow plates and stove them In. The -wntnr then rushed into tbe forward compartment. One of the officers found that tbe water-tight bulk- beads bad been started from the sides of the snip. The entire crew was ordered on deck and the steam pumps set going. This checked tbe leak.

somewhat and the men began taking the Iron out of the forward compartment and throwing It over board. During the evening ail tne cargo was re moved from the forehold. Thn hole in the bows was Inrge enoucn for a ship's boat to have passed through with ease, and through this blocks of tee made their way into tne fore compartment. All hopes of saving the vessel now lay in the water-tight bulkhead which separated the forward compartment from the main hold, in mis ouikneau several leaas were found, but tbev were soon stopped up. Ibe work of throwing overboard the cargo was kept up all night, and the vessel was somewhat lightened by this means, although her head still lay down low in the sea.

Notwithstanding the plugs in tbe bulkhead of the main bold, water leaked through, but the pumps were kept going, and the afterhold remained comparatively clear of water. At day break on the mh Cant. Osborn found that the steamer had drifted lntoa field of loose ice. and the engines were started up. During the day tbe thick ice was cleared and she steamed in a direct course for the land, which was about 1.000 miles distant.

On the 13th loose ice could still be seen in nearly every direction, tut, fortunately, the heavy fields had been cleared Shortly Detore noon it was found the plugs In the bulkhead ot the main hold had washed out and the water was rapidly pouring in. The men stopped up these leaks as best they could, while the team pumps were kept steadily at work. Durlna tbe afternoon tne wind, wiucu came irom the south-west, increased, an i the weather outlook seemed verv bad. The vessel was now in a very critical condition, but fortunately the steam-ship Mary Louisa hove in sight. Capt.

Osborn signaled that he was leaking badly and asked the other vessel to stay by htm. Capt. Gibb brought his vessel alongside, and the two sleam-sliips kept along in company. The nigbt was very thick and a heavy sea was running. The steam pumps of the Renpor were at work, bnt the leak still gained.

At midnight it was found that the bulkhead of the main bold had given way. The water now poured In so rapidly that all the pumps could do little toward checking the leak. The Kenpor was fist sinking, and she made sig nals or distress, ne oinersteameranswereu mem and at once hove to. Boats were lowered and the entire crew of J0 men abandoned tho sinking vessel, saving only their personal effects and the ship's papers and instruments, ine men sui-ceeut-a in safely reaching the Mnry Louisa, from tho decks of which they saw the Renpor sink, bows forward. with a sound as if her boilers had exploded, i hey received very kind treatment on board the vessel which rescue i them, lhe r.rinsn innsm win send them to their homes in a few days.

Last night they remained on board the Mary Louisa, whicli was anchored ofl the Huttery. The lost vessel was worth about 570,000. while the cargo was valued at something less than It is said that both were Insured in, Lngllth com panies'. The Renpor was built of iron at tho yard of Smart Brothers, in Sunderland. England, where she whs launched In June.

The annual convention ot the Association of American Railway Superintendents began at No. 40 Bond-street yesterday. The President. Peyton Randolph, of tho Virginia Midland pre sided. A letter was read from Albert Allen, Super intendent of the Syracuse, Chenango and New-York Railroad, in which he suggested that the State Leg's'atures should be memorialized to make the peculations of railroad employes felony instead of mere misdemeanors.

The suggestion was intended to apply to conductors who put money In their own pockets that they received for fares, 'l he subject was referred to a committee to report at tbe next meeting. The remainder of the day was occupied in the consideration ol train rules and signals. The idea was to adopt a system for use on all the railroads of the country. At present it wassaid one road used the signal to stop that another did to start. Where roads joined, the signals were ofttimes conflicting and dangerous.

Major E. T. D. Myers, of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad, said that it was found that everybody's rules were different and that nobody's were carried out at the Spuvten Duyvil disaster. A code of whistle signals was considered and recommended to a committee appointed to prepare a code for adoption.

A code of conductors' signals was also tecommended for adoption. The convention at this point adjourned until to-day: SICK POLICKMEITS PAT. The recent decision of the Court of Appeals in tbe case of Patrolman John Ryan, who bas been unable to perform duty for nearly five years and has been on half pay during that time, that he is entitled. to fnll pay during the term of his disability, has created great interest throughout tne Police Department. Under the present rules of the department, officers on the sick list receive no pay during tbe first four days of their sickness, one-quarter pay during the next four days, and half pay during tbe continuance of tbe illness.

Under the decision of the Court of Appeals as construed by policemen generally, the deductions for sick time must cease, and a policeman on the sick-list no matter from what cause, must receive full pay as though he were performing full outy. It is also contended that all policemen now members of the force who have lost pay by reason of sickness have a claim against the department for back pay and interest from tbe time such pav was deducted. During tbe year 1878. which is taken as an average year, the sick time lost amounted to 27,209 days, equal to the service of one man ior T4V years, and amounting in money to 8y.245. Taking tbe past 10 years, tbe amount deducted from the members of the force for sick time amounts to nearly $1,000,000.

TBE (tANSEYO OR MARKET BILL. Under an act passed by the Legislature in 1880 the City acquired land between Bloomfield and Gansevoort streets, and West-street and Thirteenth-avenue, and devoted It to market purposes. William Collins, whose land was taken, objected to the valuation pnt upon it by the Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment, and moved in Supreme Court, Chambers, to set aside all the proceedings on tbe ground that thn act of 1880. under authority of which the City assumed to act in making application to the court for tbe appointment of Commissioners was unconstitutional, as it provided that the market should be used exclusively by market gardeners and farmers bringing their produce to tne City in wagons, and that a public- market was not such a publio use as authorized the exercise of the right of eminent domain on tbe part of the City. Judge Lawrence decided yesterday that tbe act of 1880 Is constitutional, and that the proceedings to acquire the land are valid.

Mr. James A. Deering appeared for the motion, and Assi tant Corporation Counsel Artnur ucrry ana Jir. i nomas Allison opposed It DAMAGES FOR BREACH Of PROMISE. Marie Rheine sued Emil Nivelet for (5,000 damages, asserting that in Rio Janeiro, in 1879, he promised to marry her, and that he had failed to redeem his promise.

He denied that be bad promised to make her bis wife, aud declared that they separated by mutual consent.

He also asserted that she had since been the mistress of a man In Algiers, Airica. xne suit was tried oerore Judge Larre-more, in the Supreme Court Circuit, yesterday, and the Jury gave Mile. Rheine a verdict for $2,500 damages. Mr. Louis Mathot appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.

Jamea G. Benne.t, who furnishes a copy of the cable message received from Mr. Jae -son, the Herald correspondent. This la the only information so far received at the department. It has been decided to send the Iroquois, now at Mare Island, California, to tbe relief of tbe officers and crew of the Rodgera, and Secretary Chandler hat telegraphed to the commandant of tbe Mare Island yard to ascertain how soon the Iroquois can be dispatched.

The Iroquois has just been fitted out for sea, and was only put In commission last week. She was to join the Pacific, squadron, and weuld have started for Panama in a short time. From records at the Navy Department it appears that the Aodgers entered the Arctio Ocean on Aug. 20. and explored Wrangell Land and Herald Island without finding any trace of the missing Jeannette.

At Trapka, near Cape Serdze, which is on the extreme north-east coast of Siberia, very near Beh-ring Strait, a house was built, and a party of six, under Master C. F. Putnam, was left for the Winter. They were well supplied with provisions and clothing, and dogs, sledges, Ac, for searching the coast. The Rodgers returned to St.

Lawrence Bay Oct. 13 for the Winter. It was there she was destroyed by fire. The officers and crew naturally went across tbe country to Cape Serdze. to the camp of their comrades, where they would find ample shelter and provisions.

Cnarts of the polar regions show quite a number of settlements In the vicinity of Trapka. which is only a short distance from Cape Serdze. There was no way of communicating with this country other tban by tbe route taken by tbe courier across to Russia. Bearing Strait waa impassable. It Is not known when the Rodgers was lost, but It must have been early in the Winter, judging from the distance traveled by tbe Herald correspondent.

Gilder, from Cape Serdze, nearly 1.B00 miles to Verchojansk, on the Yena River, east of the Lena River. Verchojansk is about 400 miles north of Iakutsk. Gilder met a courier at Kolymsk. on the Kolyma River, and was accompanied by him to Verchojansk, and from thence to the Aldan River, where he met Jackson, the courier proceeding alone. The Aldan is a large river, which empties into the Lena River, a short distance above Iakutsk.

NATIONAL ACADEMY OP SCIENCES. A REPORT ON SORGHUM SUGAR PAPERS READ YESTERDAY. "Washington, April National Academy of Sciences resumed its session to-day. At the business meeting voluminous reports on the sorghum sugar industry was presented and read. The academy in November last appointed a committee to Investigate and report on this industry, especially In reference to the methods employed ana results obtained in experiments made by Prof.

Collier during tbe past three or four year at the Department of Agriculture. This committee at once issued a circular to those Interested In this matter both fanners and men of science and have made thorough Inquiry into all the facts bearing on the subject which were accessible up to the time of the preparation and completion of their report. This committee consisted of Prof. Chandler and Dr. Moore, ot New-York; Dr.

J. L. Smith, ol Kentucky; Dr. Goessmann, of tbe Massachusetts Agricultural College, and Profs. Brewer, Johnson, and Silliman, of New-Haven.

Prof. Silliman presented there-port at the business meeting, which was not public. It is. however, an open secret that the committee unanimously agree in approving all the chemical work done In tbe department by Prof. Collier.

This work has made certain, what was before doubtful, that sorghum Is to be ranked as a sugar-producing plant next to the sugar-cane of Louisiana and tbe tropics; that It is so in actual cane sugar contents, and that It has a continental spread of variability and adaptation to various soils and climates of the United states. Tbe reasons why many sorgham sugar experiments have failed are understood to be fully given in this report, and evidnr.ee is also offered of a rapidly inoreafing Interest In the culture of what is characterized ai a remarkable sugar-producing plant. ine following papers were read at the puMio session: "Preliminary Notice of a New Dividing Engine."

Although not as brilliant or extensive as that of Sunday night It was nevertheless an interesting display. It began about 1 :30 o'clock. In the form of an are across the northern sky. The ends did not dip below the horizon on either side, and the band of light, there- fore, had the appearance of the segment of a oirele banging in the air. 'There were no radial or fringe-like filaments depending from the band.

Another peculiarity of the display was its fluctuating character. At times the light along the whole length of the segment would fade almost entirely ont of sight and suddenly reappear with increased brilliancy, showing a faint tinge of pink. After 8 o'clock the segment of light contracted Into a sort ot irregular ring, which hung over the northern horizon, a little to tbe east of the north star, and coruscated frequently with great beauty. PARADING IN TEE RAIN. THE TRIP OF THE TWENTY-8ECOND REGI MENT TO PHILADELPHIA.

Under guise of pleasure, the Twenty-second Regiment performed a hard day's labor yesterday. It paraded down Broadway, took a trip to Philadelphia, paraded In a rain-storm with the troops of the Quaker City, danced all night, and returned to the City in time for business this morning. The regiment assembled in its armory at 7:80 o'clock yesterday morning, and marched ont atI8 o'clock. The unusual circumstance of a regiment parading before breakfast attracted the attention of the residents in Fourteenth-street, and the windows of all the houses along that thoroughfare were occupied with spectators. The line of march was down Broadway and thence to the Cort-landt-street ferry.

The regiment paraded 530 men and offioers, headed by Gilmore's full band. The members wore their fatigue uniforms and helmets, and carried their full-dress uniforms and fatigue caps in their knap-saoks. Col. Joslah Porter was In command. Tbe uniformed battalion of the regimental Veteran Corps paraded 85 men under command of Col.

George W. Laird, and 20 members of the uniformed battalion of tbe Veterans of the Twenty-third Regiment, Brooklyn, under command of CoL Botchkiss. accompanied them. Tbe officers of the active regiment and tbe right wing of that command occupied a train of seven cars, while the remainder of the regiment, together with the veterans, followed in a seoond train. The leading train left at 9:30 o'clock, while the seoond was held 15 minutes.

The head of the regiment reached Philadelphia at 12 o'clock, while the other train arrived half an hour later. The veterans of the First Pennsylvania Regiment escorted tbe New-York veterans to St, George's Hall, at Arch and Thirteenth streets, and the active regiment was escorted to Industrial Hall, on Broad street, near Vine, by the First Pennsylvania Regiment. Tbe latter hall was ar ranged ior dinner. Twelve long tables were spread, and by the side of each plate was a bottle of beer. After all had assembled the Pennsylvania soldiers gave three cheers and a "tiger" for the New-Yorkers, and the latter responded with three cheers, 'Rah 1 'rah 'rah 1" and a skyrocket.

The officers of tbe two regiments dined together in a private room. The city was gay with bunting, and the streets were crowded with people In holiday attire. It was nearly 3 o'clock before line was formed for tbe brigade parade. As tbe head of the column started down Broad-street the rain, which had been threatening for some time, fell in torrents. The specta tors naa generally anticipated a shower, and had provided umbrellas, but the soldiers were soon wet to the skin.

The white coats of tbe mem bers of the Twenty-second were streaked with blue and mack, and presented a sorry appearance as the regiment marched in review before Gov. Hoy and staff. The brigade line In tbe review was as follows: Brig. -Gen. George R.

Snowden and staff; Second Regiment, eight commands of twelve nies, joi. Robert f. Deckert commanding; Third Regiment, eight commands of twelve files, Col. Sylvester Bonnaford commanding; State Fen-cibles, four commands of 13 files, Major John W. Ryan commanding; Gray Invinclbles, (colored.) 50 muskets.

Capt. John P. Kannard commanding; City Troop, 46 mounted men, Capt E. B. Grubb commanding; Veteraus First Pennsylvania Regiment, four commands of 20 files.

Col. George H. North commanding; Twenty-second Regiment Veteran Corps; Twenty-thlre! Regiment Veteran Corps; First Pennsylvania Regiment. 10 companies of 24 files. Col.

Theodore E. Weidersheim commanding, and finally the Twenty-second Regiment, 10 companies of 18 files. Tbe marching of the First and Twenty-second Regiments was exceptionally good, although the First possessed an advantage In being accustomed to marching on the smooth cobble-stone pavement. After passing in review, parade was dismissed, and tbe Twenty-second, escorted by the First Regiment, marched to the site of tbe new armory, where tbe ceremonies of laying the corner-stone tonK place. The location is not a particularly pleasant one.

It is on the corner of Broad and Callowblll streets. On one side of it is a long row of "railroad" saloons, and opposite Is the Reading Railroad Depot. On tho other side are various shops and small trading places. While tbe building will be handy In times of railroad riots, it is not exactly the locality for full dress receptions like the armory of the Seventh in this City. Tbe corner-stone waa laid with Masonio ceremonies by the officers of tbe Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

A nlatform. fitted up like a lodge-room and covered with a canopy, stood near tbe cornerstone. On the opposite side seats accommodating abont 5,000 people were all filled and the surrounding thoroughfares were crowded with spectators. Gov. Hoyt presided.

There were also on the platform Major-Gen. John F. Uartranft, commanding the State troops, and Grand Master Samuel B. Dick, As the stone was lowered into place a salvo of artillery was fired, and tbe bands of the First and Twenty-second Regiments played "The Star Span-died Banner." Gov. Hoyt next made albrief address, introducing Col.

William McMicbael, who delivered an oration. Musio by the bands concluded tbe ceremonies soon after 6 o'clock P. M. Although tbe uniforms of the members of the Twenty-seoond were thoroughly soaked, their officers decided that they should continue to wear them during the evening ceremonies, and most ot the men fortified themselves liberally to avoid catching cold. The early part of tbe evening was devoted to feasting.

The officers of the First and Twenty-second Regiments dined together at the Colonnade Hotel at 7 o'clock P. Companies of both regiments dined at the Union League Club. Companies at Vienna Hall. Companies at the Continental Hotel. Companies at tbe est End.

Companies I at the Colonnade, and tbe remaining companies in the armory at present occupied by the First Regiment. Gilmore's band gave a concert in the Academy of Musio from until 10 clock I. after which a reception was given in that place by tbe First Regiment. Among those present were Gov. Ludlow and staff, of New-Jersey: Col.

Brooks. Third Regi ment, infantry. United States Army; Gov. Hovt and staff, of Pennsylvania; the field and staff officers of other military organizations in the State, officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons, and the iNew-iorit guests oi tne regiment. MR.

56S- THE STOLEN DENVER MAILS PARKE, TEE MAIL AGENT. AND HIS SYSTEM OF TEIEVING. HOW THE TlilKP WAS DETECTED AND ARRESTED INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BANKS AND BUSINESS MEN BY HIS DEPREDATIONS. From th Denver Col.) World, April 15. A telegram was received this morning by Gen.

Cameron, Post Office Inspector for this district, from F. W. Sohanrte. Post Office Inspector for the Missouri District, notifying him of the capture of a mall agent on the Missouri Pacifio Railroad last named Parke, who was caught In the act of robbing the mail under his charge while in transit The telegram was very short, merely announcing tne capture, and stating that Parker had confessed, but declined to say anything that would criminate his comrades in crime. This important capture will no donbt end the system of thieving which bas for the past five months seriously Interfered with the business at this point and throughout the State.

Readers of the daily papers will remember the announcement made about the first of the present year t. at all the mail that loft Denver on the 84th of December had been lost The mall of that date was an unusually large one, and no trace of it could bo found. Tbe Post Office officials at this point immediately commenced a system of espionage on all the roads leading ont of Denver. All the force, under the command of Gen. Cameron, passed day and night with unceasing vigilance, and watched the Kansas Pacifln nt first.

After some weeks' strict survellance over the pos- mi cierits buu imiua on luai roaa it was discovered that tbe loss had not occurred there. Meanwhile complaints of losses from banks, businessmen, and citizens continued to pour in nntll they reached in the aggregate 98 cases. A few losses were discovered on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Immediately east ot Pueblo, but with tbe limited force of men at the command of Gen. Cameron the thief could not be apprehended. After a time the losses ceased and the mails on both tbe Kansas Pacifio and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe reached Kansas City without molestation.

Still the malls from Colo-ado were rifled, and still the complaints against the Post Office officials increased in volume. The newspapers were loud in their expressions of dissatisfaction, tbe Chieftain, of Pueblo being tbe most vindlotlve. The Post Office officials, however, pursued the even tenor of their way, using the utmost vigilance. Several times they thought they were on the right track, bnt the clues when traced turned out to be false. Gen.

Cameron was traveling day and night for weeks, and his efficient assistant. Gen. Carpenter, was equally as watchful and alert No positive proof could be obtained that the mails were rifled this side of Kansas City. The mall which was tampered with was that addressed to New-York and the New-England States. It was not opened between this point and Kansas City.

The logical conclusion, therefore, was reached that they mnst have been rifled east of that point. Accordingly, on tbe 8th in st. Gen. Cameron notified Inspector Schaurte at St Louis ot the losses as far as he knew, and his deductions as to the person who was guilty of the crime. In spector Schaurte immediately began to ferret out the thief.

With tbe large force of men at his command the work of guarding the mail in transit was comparatively easy. The postal clerks were shad owed while on duty and wben thev had comnleted their run. Tbe result was that last night a few miles east of Kansas Cltv, Parke, a mail agent on the Missouri Pacific, was apprehended in the act of breaking open a letter, and tbe thief who had for months so successfully oarrled on the wholesale robbery was thus captured. Tbe total amount represented bv drafts stolen. so far as heard from, reaches the sum of 000.

These drafts, of course, are of no benefit to any person except those to whose favor thev are drawn. Tbe First National Bank of Denver alone lost $160,000. The drafts for the New-York stock holders or the Robert a. Lee mine, at Lead viae. amounting to over $90,000.

were lost. The Bank of Leadville lost over (22,000 worth of drafts In one mail. These losses bave been very inconvenient to tbe banks and business men of this State, as it seriously complicated them in their dealings with Eastern parties. Besides tbe drafts, there has been a large amount of money sent in letters which nave never reached their intended destination. Tbe amonnt in each vase is generally very small, not tne aggregate foot np over $600.

Post Office orders were missed, bnt as tbev are perfectly secure np serious loss will be suffered by tbe parties securing them. It is a difficult mat ter to give the exact amounts taken, as the parties wno sent tne aratts or money oiten neglected to state the sum Inclosed or represented. Parke doubtless bad accomplices, and it is supposed that his object in stealing the drafts was to become acquainted with the signatures of the different bank officials preparatory to an extensive system of torgery. inis idea is not a new one. The cnioago banks a few years ago were victimized out of over $50,000 by a former postal clerk, who obtained his Knowledge ot signatures in the employ ol tbe uniieu Mates uovernmenc uen.

Cameron tnis morning said: I reel re lieved. For the past five months I have had scarcely time to eat The complaints, many of them accompanied by threats of violence, which have poured into my office have been enough to drive one crazy. From the time that the first com plaint was made until I had finally traced the loss of the letters cast of Kansas City and ont of my department I have been 'on tbe jump' constantly, using all the knowledge I possess and every means at my command for the capture ot the thief. I congratulate myself that the thief was found so auickly and my conclusions as to tbe place where the mail disappeared proved to be correct I have but one assistant to help me In a district which is greater in area than tbe whole of New-England and lennessee and Maryland combined, so you can readily perceive that the same expedition In tne capture ot criminals cannot do obtained as in tbe more thickly settled Eastern States. Our Kansas City agent has given us tbe follow ing account of the capture: Kansas Citt, April 15.

Harry Parke, the young man agent, wno was arrested at St. Louis tor pilter-Ing the mails, is still out under a bond of S1.000. On his arrest there were found in his possession 17 letters addressed to business men. banks, fec. It Is now thought that there may be developments in this case which will lead to the discovery of the perpetrators of the mail thefts which are agitating Denver and other Western cities, which thefts are thought to amount to nearly a million aoiiars, or some time it bas been whis pered that there was trouble in tbe mail cars on the Missouri Pacifio, but tbe officials have been reticent and have given nothing to the public.

Some talk has been occasioned dnrlcg tne past three months, by the loss of through letters between Topeka and New-York. Within that time drafts of the value of $50,000 sent from Tope ka to New-York bave been lost or stolen. This loss has become so great that finally the bankers of Tooeka ceased sending their drafts by mall and registered letter.
