city of Galveston in the city and state of
New York; shall bear interest at the rate

thereof, at the fiscal agency of the city
of Galveston, in the city and state of
New York. They shall be issued under

or all of said bonds at any time or times;
from and after ten years from their date
of issue, upon first giving notice of its

fund to be held and applied only to the
payment of said bonds, until all of them

• The word “shanghai” was frequently
used in the trial of James Bennett, col-
ored, in the recorder’s court this morn-
ing, the charge against him being va-
grancy. To the ordinary man the word
“shanghai” denotes nothing beyond a
suggestion of China or the Chinese, but
to the sailor it strikes terror to the heart
aqd recalls thrilling reminiscences of
hair-breadth escapes and encounters with
a band of men organized for the purpose
of enticing sailors from one boat to an-
other under the pretense of paying them
large salaries. And right here it might
be mentioned that the parties who do the
“shanghai-ing” are not particular as to
the methods they employ to accomplish
their work.
For the benefit of the uninformed, it
is stated that “shanghai-ing” originated
in Shanghai,. China, and hence the name.
A gang of men plied their vocation openly
and there were many tales of their bold-
ness and cruelty. They would steal
aboard of ships, get the men away and
sometimes demand of the masters the
payment of money due the sailors, which
would, as a natural consequence, go into
the coffers of the “shanghaiers.” In
almost every instance the masters paid
the tribute for the reason that to inter-
pose an objection would incur the en-
mity of these people and might result dis-
astrously to the captains.
As is generally the rule when a sailor
’leaves Liverpool, for instance, ,on a
voyage to Shanghai he signs a contract
to make the round trip and is not to be
paid until the voyage is completed. The
men who practice the art of “shanghai-
ing” know this, but at their urgent de-
mand and threats the masters pay the
money to these landsharks. This is the.
origin of “shanghai-ing” and it is prac-
ticed to a greater or less degree in every
port of the world. In San Francisco,
New York and other large ports many
men are engaged in the business.
At times it is necessary for the cap-
tain of a ship to invoke the aid of one of
this class. Probably his boat has been
visited by one of their number, the crew
induced to leave and when he gets ready
for sea lie is without a sailor. These
men demand so much apiece for a sailor,
the price varying in every port, and the
captain gets a crew upon payment of the
money demanded. Sailors are put aboard
the vessel while in a drunken stupor,
lowered into the hold and are tallied as
they are put aboard as if they were
freight. Sometimes men who have never
been to sea and whose nautical knowl-
edge extends only so far as to enable
them to distinguish a vessel from a resi-
dence are caught by these people, made
drunk and shipped away from their
homes, and instances are recorded where
dead men have been shipped. Of course,
it isn’t carried on to this extent in Gal-
veston..
When the case against Bennett was
called this morning the defendant,
through his counsel, Cornelius Williams,
announced ready for trial and entered
a plea of not guilty to the charge of va-
grancy, it being alleged in the charge
that he had no visible means of support.
The first witness examined was Cap-
tain Baxter of the schooner Ralph M.
Hayward. He testified that Bennett
came aboard his schooner while lying at
the dock and attempted to persuade some
of the crew to leave, telling them that
he could find places for them at $30 a
mouth. The captain ordered Bennett to
leave, which he refused to do and as a
result a charge was made against him.
Special Officer Duffy, who made the
arrest, testified that he had known Ben-
nett a. number of years and had never
known him to do an honest day’s work.
He said Bennett was a companion of
prostitutes and he saw him on the streets
and hanging about places where sailors
congj t gated.
Special Officer Gus Amundsen had
known Bennett for a long time. He had
seen him go aboard of vessels on several
occasions and endeavor to get the crew
to leave. He never saw Bennett do an
hones' day’s work.
Louis E. Gottheil had known Bennett
for a number of years. For some time
masters of vessels had complained about
having, trouble with people who endeav-
ored to get their sailors to leave. Sail-
ors would be taken from one ship and
put on another. He had heard that a
iruii: named O’Connor, a Galveston car-
penter, had been “shanghaied,” shipped
to Sabine and from that port put aboard
a vessel bound for Santos. He did not
know whether Bennett was mixed up
in th? transaction, but had heard so.
Cementine Tyron had seen Bennett
go aboard of vessels and endeavor to
persuade .sailors to leave. He had known
Bennett about 19 years and during that
time had never seen him ’ engaged at
work.
J. H, Smith testified that about 10
years ago Bennett took him out and at-
tempted to get him drunk for the pur-
pose of “shanghai-ing” him, but did not
succeed. Witness said that Bennett spent
about $7.50 on him, but the amount was ’
noc sufficient to get him full. Witness
said he was a sailor and fireman and
Bennett knew this when he had him in
tow. A few days ago he spoke to Ben-
nett about his trying to “shanghai” him
and Bennett laughed and said that wit-
ness could not get him now; that he was
one of the slickest in the United States.
Witness had never seen Bennett work.
He was of the opinion that “shanghai-
ing ’ was his occupation. .
T. L. Cress, summoned by the de-
fense, testified that he had known the
defendant for some time and had never
seen him work. He believed his business
was tn get sailors for vessels. Upon
cross-examination, he said that he had
paid him $10 yesterday morning, on the
order of a captain, for securing sailors
for the schooner Senator Sullivan at Sa-
bino pass.
A witness for the defense testified that
about two years ago’Bennett came aboard
of a boat at Pensacola and attempted to
persuade the cook to leave. The witness
knew nothing of the recent occurrence
concerning Bennet and he was excused.

vich, Isaac Simon and Caspar Farnavich,

corder’s court and dismissed on the state-
ment of the city attorney. In his state-
ment to the court the city attorney said

rearrested under the provisions of the
new liquor ordinance passed at the last
meeting of the city council.

defendant, said he had known Bennett
for some time. He knew him in
Pensacola, when he was running for a
sailor boarding house. Bennett was now
engaged in getting sailors fer vessels.
Witness was aboard the schooner Hay-
ward just walking about the deck. He
was not a partner of Bennett’s. He said
Bennett used to work on the lighters.
Asked whether he knew a man named
O’Connor, a Galveston carpenter, who was
taken out 'of Galveston, sent to Sabine
Pass, and shipped on the barkentine Jen-
nie Woodside, bound for Santos, witness
said that he saw O’Connor when he was
drunk in a saloon, about 4 or 5 months
ago. He did not have anything to do
with sending him to Sabine Pass.
A colored man, who said he was a
sailor, had known Bennett for some time.
Bennett, he said, was a working man.
Bennett next took the stand in his own
defense. He started off, indulging in
spread-eagle oratory, when his attorney,
Williams, interposed an objection and
told him not to make a speech. He then
confined himself to the facts, and said
that he had resided in Galveston since
1871. His business was shipping sailors.
A few days ago he shipped four men to
Sabine Pass, and received the money for
his work from Mr. Cross. He said he did
not furnish the crew for the barkentine
Jennie Woodside. Captain Plummer of
Sabine Pass secured the crew and got
two men from police headquarters, who
had been arrested and fined. He paid
their fines and sent them to Sabine Pass.
Witness had nothing to do with the trans-
action. He said he never made people
drunk and shipped them, and that certain
people were prejudiced against him.
About six years ago he said he left here
and went to Pensacola, and came from
Boston to Galveston about October 1.
Officer Duffy was recalled and said that
Bennett had been in town this last time
about two or three months. He said he
had reason to believe that he was mixed
up in the shipment of O’Connor. O’Con-
nor has a wife and several children re-
siding in the city. Witness said Captain
Plummer did not get the men for the
ship that sailed for Santos.
strong evidence that Bennett secured
them.
This concluded the evidence and the
case was argued by the attorneys, County
Attorney Bradford Hancock representing
the state.
Recorder Harrington fined Bennett $10,
the total fine and costs amounting to
$32.50. He said the business might be all
right if carried on in a legitimate way,
but from the evidence it appeared that it
was not. jjij,

The A. P. A. victory in Nashville may

Europe is using a good deal more of

A New York contemporai-y suggest that
Mr. Cleveland will be forced to1 accept a
renomination, despite the supposed senti-
ment against a third term, and that Mr.
Harrison will be renominated by the Re-
publicans to oppose his election. That
paper seems to ignore the fact that “there
are others.”
“No thief e’er felt the halter draw with

AGREED RATIO.
There appears to be some controversy
as to the actual sentiments of the Farm-
ers’ congress, in session at Atlanta, re-
cently, in regard to the question of fisc.
An attempt is made by the free silver-
ites to have it appear that when the 16
to 1 resolution was voted down-by such
an overwhelming majority, the delegates
were not fully informed as to the ques-
tion before the house, and did not vote
advisedly. This is the information tele-
graphed from Atlanta to some of the free
silver papers. The Atlanta organ of the
free silverites went further than this, and
printed the defeated resolution as the one
adopted, and having said the horse was 16
feet high, the free silver organ is not
inclined to subtract an inch from the or-
iginal statement, that being the style of
horse it prefers. The local gold bug or-
gan tells an entirelj' different story, and
the latter is backed up, to some extent, at
least, by the secretary of the congress.
This is the resolution, as finally adopted,
the main point being that “agreed ratio”
was substituted for 16 to 16, as proposed
by the silver men:
“Resolved, That we favor the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at an agreed ratio, guarded by an import
duty upon foreign bullion and foreign coin
equal to the difference between the bul-
lion value and the coinage value of the
meta! at the date of importation, when-
ever the bullion value of the metal is less
than its coin value.”
seems likely that the longer the balloting
lasts the worse it will be for those who
are now regarded as the leading aspir-
ants.” The G.-D. favors Allison and
the inference is plain. He will come
in as a dark horse and stampede the con-
vention after Reed, McKinley and Harri-
son have brought about a deadlock. It
has long been suspected that Allison has
a great head.
A MUGWUMP.
It is said that Mr. Roosevelt was sum-
moned to New York and placed at the
head of the police commission, because he
could not be influenced against the en-
forcement of the law, and now that he is
there, he is proof against bluffs and bland-
ishments.
The fact that the party in power or the
party out of power may lose votes be-
cause of his stringent enforcement of the
law cuts no ice with Mr. Roosevelt. He
seems to have an absurd notion that an
official should respect his obligation to the
public, rather than to the political heelers,
and that he should not violate his oath
of office even to gratify the most indus-
trious and effective party workers, Mr.
Roosevelt is a typical mugwump, who
places duty above party expediency, hon-
esty above trickery and corruption, and
who thinks obedience to the laws more to
be encouraged than lawlessness. Of
course, he lias got himself disliked, but
then it serves those New York people just
right. They knew there must be another
election in the course of time, and that
laxity in the enforcement of the law and
the registration of voters and conniving at
questionable transactions in the interest
of partisan political advantage are of
such importance to party success as to
outweigh all considerations of honesty
and integrity in the public service in the
estimation of the average political trick-
ster.
Mr. Roosevelt’s prim and prudish no-
tions of propriety have well earned for
him the sobriquet of mugwump, and as
mugwump he must be known. The only
fear is, that some of these days the world
may become so highly civilized and Chris-
tianized that the title of mugwump may
be worn as a. badge of honor instead of
reproach. _
The Atlanta Journal, one of the best
afternoon papers in America, now claims
the largest daily circulation of any daily
newspaper published in Georgia, or any
adjoining state, and presents the figures
to prove its assertion. The Journal says
that it is the only paper published in At-
lanta that takes the public into its con-
fidence and permits visitors to the press
room while the edition is being run off
in order that they may see for themselves
the number of papers printed, without
depending on vague claims and still more
vague circulation affidavits.
If the free silver Democrats, socalled,
would only do their fighting outside the
barracks, there might be no disposition to
invoke the sound money conservators of
the peace.
The great state fair at Dallas will
throw open its gates tomorrow.
If belligerent rights cannot be accorded
to “Gentleman Jim” and Lanky Bob,” as
pugilists, why couldn’t they enter the lists
as politicians of opposing parties? No-
body objects to seeing a politician
knocked out.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Only an Inference—Dr. Thirdly: “Sure-
ly Henry Peck didn’t say he wished his
wife was dead?” Elder Berry: “No-o; he
said he would love to give the church a
new memorial window.”
Young Wife (dreamily): “How lovely it
would be if all things in this world
worked in fiarmony.” Husband (thought-
fully): “My, yes. For instance, if coal
would only go up and down with the
thermometer.”
Happy is the man who can look upon
the bright side. s When . McPedal was
thrown from his bicycle and broke an
arm and collar bone, he cheerfully re-
marked as he viewed the shattered re-
mains of the broken wheel: “I’m mighty
glad it was a borrowed machine, and not
my brand new one.”
“John,” said the grocer, “you may order
a couple ’o dozen of them plain cups and
saucers and four dozen breakfast plates.
I hear that Mrs. Grimes has quit doing

Boston Transcript.
There was a vivacious smile on her face
which was most winsome. She murmured
happily to her friend: “I’ve just got such
a bargain.” “How, dear?” inquired the
other. “I sent a telegram, only sixpence
for 12 words, and at least six of the
words were of more than three syllables.”

MISS JONES.
You may mention her name, but it never
conveys
An idea of the exquisite tones
Of her voice or her sparkling, bewildering
ways,
For her name—it
Jones.”
It gives you no hint of her golden brown
hair;
Of her eyes
stones;
Of the flash of her wit, or her highly
bred air,
When they merely
Jones.”
It leaves you to guess at the men in her
train,
And her suitors’ expiring groans;
At the charm that proves fatal to many a
swain—
Unexpected in every-day “Jones.”
But when you have seen the effect of her
glance
On raw youth or decrepit old bones,
You’ll admit that a knight never shat-
tered a lance
For a “Queen of the Lists” like “Miss
Jones.”
If her name could be changed, what a
gain it would be—
A fact which she cheerfully owns;
But, at present, you see, she’s confided to
me,
She prefers to be’simply—“Miss Jones.”
