THEY SEIZE A RAILWAY 8TATI0N And are Ouly Dislodged by the Military Aftera 8 ubborn Fight, in Which Throe are Killed, St. rn-r.usK- i ho, Aug. 28. Details of the rioting in Vatebsk, the capital of the government of that name, occa-sioned by the peoplo's protests against the exportation of rye, show that tho disturbance was of a serious nature. The governor reports that (here is evidence that a general revolt of the peasantry was planned. The peasants attacked the railroad officials, claiming that no more rye should leave Vatebsk and severely beat a Jewish grain dealer who was blamed for the hole trouble. Tin peasantry also plundered the resi-dences of the grain dealers and dually combined in au attack upon the rail-road station. The raiiroad officials sent for assist-ance to the military authorities and tho latter tried to dislodge the rioters from their positions in and about the station. The rioters resisted subboruly and their supporters outside the railroad station made a fierce attack upon the soldiers. Finally the officer in command of the troops, after repeatedly threatening the crowds, gave tho order to fire upon tho rioters. The soldiers then fired a volley, kill-ing three peasants and wounding a number of others. The rioters soon after dispersed. Other and similar disturbances are reported from Dunalbery, Vint and other places, but no details have yet been made public. THE BANK WRECKER'S STORY.

Cashier Charles Lawrence of the Keystone Bank, now serving a scveu years' term for complicity in wrecking the bank, has w rill en a statement of the methods used li deceive Ev Bank Ex-aminer Drew. The letter, which bears dale of August fit la. and is addressed to Colonel William P. Drew, is in thu form of ,v confession. Lawrone s.ivs that in the the lirst plaeeevcry means possible was used to swell the assets and dimin-ish the liabilities of the bunk. This was done by no regular method, but by plans suggested by opportunity. The indi iilual ledgers w ere altered at least I wico a year about the time Drew was expected. Sometimes whole pages were abstracted, fa No balances were made by altering the pencil figures, large balances were decreased and over balances were wiped out; false credits were posted to overdrawn accounts, so that tile examiner's attention would not be drawn to the ledger mere minutely; sometimes false chocks were posted to an account having a largo balance, so as to reduce (he liabilities. 'This was done to the. extent of about ."iOO.(lliO, The money owe I the cash drawer was replaced, sunn limes by mo ms of a due bill taken from the back of tho due bill book, sometimes by incuts of cor! id-eates of deposit or the president obtain-ing a loan.

Cr ied of the Third Farty Some of it l Eepotilioa of k'ere Dogmas Boms of it an Approach to Lunacy. Paii.iiino, Ohio, Aug. 23. Senator Sherman's speech yesterday afternoon was devoted entirely to tiie silvetf question. Ho supported tho present coinage act and said: "if congress hail provided that all th. silver brought to tlie mint should b coined into dollars, no gold would be. coined, for an ounro of gold is worth-mor-than sixteen ounces of silver, (iold would cease to be money an I would be hoarded or exported. Ni. mau would be fool euoug'a to Ueposio an ounce of gold for coiuago into sir" teen i! oilai when with it he could buj enough silver billion and have i coined without cost into t.vouty dollars, l'reo coiuago is all uonsensj. Uuder the new coinage act the treasury i purchasing monthly more than the en-ti- ro product of silver bullion in thf United Slates, and all this bullion is represented in our curreucy by eithe silver coin or legal tender treasury notes. We expected uudur this act irt the purchase of silver bullion, prior to August 1st this year. S.m.101, Mid issued that amount of treasury notes, which, are now in circulation. We thus pro- -, vided an increase of currency equal or) greater than the increase of luisitibUj and population of the Coiled Stales." "One distinctive strikiug feature ot this law is that the United .States wilt not pay for silver bullion more than it market value. Why should we! Nearly, all the silver produced in tho L'niteil-State- s is by rich corporations in a few. new states, niel its production at the market price is far morn profitable than any crop of tho farmer, and yet it is the demand of the producer of silver' bullion that the United States shouloV pay 23 per cent more than its market value. That lies at the foundation of the difference between the republican and the democratic parlies. The ten-dency of the policy of the present act will be to gradually advance the Talue) of silver bullion to its logal ratio witl , gold, and when this is reached, both, metals will be coined on equal terms and. conditions. I believe the measure wilt work out the most beneficial results. ' It has given great activity to the pro-duction of silver. It has furnished an. increase of ciroulation. It has main-tained the gold btandard, while utiliz-ing tnlvr to the utmost extent ebort of . ,r- " demonetizing gold. It is the key to our exalted, almo.st Hand-ing in commercial credit and national, honor among the nations of the world. It treats with silver and gold like all other commodities or productions, as subject to the universal rule of being worth w hat they will bring in the mar-kets of the world. This is the republi-can doctrine now proclaimed in our Ohio platform." "The democratic policy of free coin-age." said the senator, means that we, shall purcbae all the silver that is of-fered, come from where it may, audi give the holder coin or treasury notes at tho rate of il for every 1171 grains, worth in tho market now 77 cunts." Senator Sherman spoke of tho vast ac-- i cumulated hoard of silver in other countries of the world, estimated by statisticians at $.'1,10, 571,310, and said "The democrats are in favor of allow-ing any amount of this to be Hooded in upon us at the above terms. Who can estimate the volume of silver that would come into mo treasury u mis policy were adopted? It is a public bid of 21) cents an ounce more than the market price, made at a time when silver is de-clining in valuo and when many com-mercial nations aie seeking to convert their silver into gold. They would gladly seo us take this load on our shoulders. They will gladly give us their silver at the rate of sixteen to oun and take our gold." "This is the doctrine which it is ex-pected the conservative democrats of Ohio will adopt iu order to gain ths support and alliance of the silver barons of the west, and the interested s who hope to gain an ad-vantage over their creditors by cheap-edin- g tho standard of value, and thu wild enthusiasts who believe in the un-limited supply of irredeemable paper money. To assume that the United Sta'ea can maintain silver at the old ratio of sixteen to one is a wilder de-lusion than ever tilled t lie brain of a believer in fiat money. There is no fear that we would attempt it. It carried 77,000,OO'.( of gold from the United Stales within four months. It is said that if we adopt a silver standard we will get n.o, o money ior our Ubor r.nd productions. This does not follow, but ' even if it be true the purchasing power of tho money will he diminished. Sil-ver doi.irs w :rth 77 cenls in srold will buy uo more food anil clothing than 77 cents of our money now. Capital-ists and speculators can protect them-selves from loss by stipiilsting for gold payments. The whole burden of this policy falls upon those who depend up-on their daily labor for their daily bread, and is for the benefit of thoso .vho hone by cheapening money to pay their debts with money less valuable than they agn ed to pay." Examiuing the position taken in this canvass by the democratio party. Sena-tor Sherman referred to ex President Cleveland's utterances on the silver question, and said that while Cleveland was president no lree coinage measure was proposed. "President Harrison is know n to entertain the same opin-ions, yet now. under a stranger leader-ship, this scheme to change the stand-ard of valuo isupressed into our elate canvass. I believe it is the result of a ' bargain between whit is called the national executive silver conuui'.tee, composed of representatives of tha great silver mining corporations of the United States, with some of the leaders of the democratic party, by which a portion of the profits of theso corpora-tions is to be invested in this Ohio can-vass to defeat the republican party, and especially to down John Sherman on the issue of free coina.ro. As for my-self, it is a matter of little importance, but what I do care for is that the stato , of Ohio shall not in aoj way be resjioa-- ) LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF.

Nothing offi-cial or unofficial was received by either state or navy department today of tho reported surrender of tho Chilean con-gressional army at Viuo del Mar Tues-day. If thu surrender did take place the absence of any information from eit'.vr Minister Kgan or Admiral J?rown on the subject is believed to be due to the interruption of telegraphic cotuinti-uicHtio- 'The Chilean minister is also without any information relative to the surren-der oilier than that contained in the despatch received by him yesterday. The friends of the Balmacedan govern-ment in this city in commenting on tho denials from bpiique of the reported surrender of the insurgent army say the insurgents at that place cannot get any telegraphic information from Val-paraiso as both the cable along the coast and the telegraph line from Val-porai-to Huaseo are in possession of the government. This fact tiiev insist shows tliut the denials from jquiuue are without foundation. Xkw Vokk, Aug. 2si.
