THE PRINCE OF WALES.-The readers of
the article on the "Prince of Wales" in the
last Galaxy, written by an Englishman, are
well prepared to learn that "the most stupid
looking man in England" and the frequenter
of low theatres is again prominently before
the public in connection with a scandalous
affair. A French cable dispatch says that
great excitement has been created by the
damaging testimony given in the Mordaunt
divorce case. Sir Charles Mordaunt was ex-
amined Saturday. He charged that the
Prince of Wales had for some time past car
ried on a clandestine correspondence with
Lady Mordaunt. Sir Charles forbade the
Prince the privilege of his house, but the lat
ter visited Lady NJ. during her husbands alb
sence on Parliamentary duties. Letters from
the Prince We're found in Lady MS desk.
She has confessed to having intrigued with
the Prince of Wales, with the Viscount Cole,
and with Sir Frederick Johnston. The Prince
denies the charge, and wishes an examination
in order to clear himself. The defence set up
is 'puerperal insanity" The whole country is
intensely excited over these DEVELOPMENTS.
The letters from the Prince of Wales to Lady
Mordaunt have been published. They are of
very friendly character. No positive PROOF
has yet been adduced against the Prince.
Mr.. Lawson gave notice in Parliament of
bill asking Government whether it is not
practicable to prevent the publications of the
divorce courts, the object being to suppress
evidence adduced in rhe Mordaunt case.

The least possible punishment, in case of

The ecldt of New York thieves is in dan

on business, and while waiting for his turn
put his bill case, containg e9250 on the coun-

waist and he kept his hand upon it. The
space was much crowded, and some person
touched him on the shoulder and said he had
dropped piece of paper, which, on looking,
he saw at his feet. The ruse was successful
He stopped to pick up the paper and on rising
fancied he saw hand leaving the bill case.
He at once looked at it and saw his notes
gone. he gave an alarm but it was too late.

Iron Steamship. and Portland.

The fact referred to by Col. Lynch in his
able and exhaustive report, recently published
in the Press, of which ship-buildcrs and ship
owners have been for some time aware, that
iron steamships are rapidly attracting and will
soon monopolze the ocean traffic of the world,
is of peculiar interest to this city in view of
the unequalled advantages they would enjoy
for the construction of vessels of this charac-
ter. There is no climate in which men can
perform larger amount oflabor without loss
OF health and physical vigor than that OF Port
land, and there is no city in which the cost of
living is less than it is in ours 1t therefore may
be fairly assumed that the expense OF buiid-
ing iron ships, so far as labor is cohcei"o"'
will be as small here as it can DC III any W.
or nlace Then as to materials, those which
must necessarily be imported, can be laid down
in Portland as conveniently and cheaply as in
any other city on our coast. The wood and lum-
Der required for ship of this description are
chiefly of kinds that come daily to our market
by the Grand Trunk and other Northern rail
ways and by our coasters. And as to iron. it
is understood upon the authority of biologists
and practical men, that in the town of Leba-
non, N. H., sixty miles from this city, and
within two miles of the line of the Portland
and Ogdensburg Railroad, is an iron noun
tain, the ore of which is unsurpassed in quail
ity, and believed to be practically inexhausti-
BILE in quantity. Surely, there are conditions
OF success in this department of industry and
enterprise, which the capitalists and mechan-
les of Portland cannot afford to ignore OF
overlook.

INDIAN SUFFRAGE.-The Missouri Legis-
lature is faverably considering the subject of
Indian suffrage. The policy of exclusion and
suppression has operated badly enough. In
the West it has produced an uninterrupted
succession of Indian wars; in the East it has
led to the very rapid determinations of the
aborigines. Why should not the harmless
constituents of "Peol Sockabasin" and the
feeble remnant of the Passamaquoddies be at
length allowed to vote? 1t will be poor rec
ompense to be sure, Tor the wrongs of ages,
but it will be something. Or are we afraid
that the Red man will flourish and multiply
so rapidly under juster policy that he will
finally give practical and unpleasant solu-
tion to that question that has proved so vexa-
tious to Kent and other publicists, viz, had
the whites right to dispossess the Indians OF
their lands?"

AT LARGE.

The firm Of Fisk & Hatch. bankers and gov
eminent bond dealers. who have brought
themselves prominently before capitalists and
the investing public here and in Europe by
bringing out the Central Pacific Railroad
bonds, which are current here and in the Eu-
ropean markets the same as government bonds
now offer to capitalists and investors the first
mortgage bonds of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company. The success attending
the bonds introduced by Messrs. Fisk g.
Hatch has been exceedingly satisfactory
to the bondholders. The Western Pacific
bonds-the last loan introduced by Fisk &
Hatch-were all sold in about ten weeks,
and the loan was closed in January at 90.
They are now selling at "a bid, and none Of
fering at that price. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad forms Central Trunk line from
the Atlantic Ocean, connecting directly with
the Pacific coast, over the Union and Central
Pacific Railroads to San Francisco. In addi-
ton to the through traffic with the Western
States and Pacific coast, the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad runs through rich portion of
Virginia, which abounds in coal and other
products, the transportation of which, =
ceedngly profitable to railroads The direc.
tors CT the company are shrewd, wealthy, and
influential citizens, among whom are G. P.
Huntington, Vice-President! of the Pacific
Railroad, and the following well-known
names: William H. Aspinwall, David Stew
art, William B. Hatch, A. A. Low. New York
and Pliny Fisk, Philadelphia. The trustees
are William Butler Duncan, of Duncan, Sher-
man & Co., and P. c. Calhoun, President of
the Fourth National Bank, who are an ample
guarantee that the interests of the bondbold
ers will be properly protected. The repnta.
ton of Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, and the extreme
care they have taken in permitting their name
to BIZ used to market loans, together with the
high standing and reputation of those directly
interested in the road, enttle the bonds to
more than ordinary attention from the public,
and merit their confidence The completed
road is already of sufficient value to form suf-
ficient security for the whole proposed amount
of mortgages to be sold. When completed, the
property will be worth double the amount of
the first mortgage bonds

New RAILROAD PoLICY.-A speci

A New RAILROAD POLICY.-A special
Washington dispatch to the Boston Adpertis-
er, says that new policy with reference to
aiding railroads was inausurated in the Sem
ate on Saturday. The debate was on bill
for road in Oregon, and showed that no
more subsidies in the way of bonds will be
given, and whatever lands are granted cannot
go into the hands of spectators, but must bs
sold to actual settlers. The measure in this
form went through with only 8 votes in the
negative. One of the House committees takes
ground against granting lands on any condi-
ton but this. The Senate bill is very sure Of
being passed before the end of the session.

THE RHODE ISLAND TRANCE CAsE.-A
the following account of a singular trance case
in that village, the particulars being obtained
from Mrs. Josiah King, mother of the young
lady whose condition excites so much wonder:
Miss Susie A. King, her daughter, was about
twenty-three years OF age, and of fine personal
appearance. About two weeks ago she wa
taken sick with some affection of the Threats
by which she was confined to her bed for sew
eral days, when she was supposed to be con-
valescent, and allowed one day to come down
Stairs. That night, however, she grew worse,
complaining of severe pains in her hands and
feet, and continued to grow worse till the next
day, when she lapsed into an unconscious
state, III which she remained until her death.
Friday, the 18th, at IL A. NJ. The usual
preparations for the grave were made; the
body laid in the coffin, and Sunday the funer-
al services were held. While the friends were
taking the last look at the body, physician
present thought he observed signs of life. The
body was removed from the coffin, and, being
placed in blankets, friction and artificial res
piration were resorted to without effect The
next day the galvanic battery was used, but
was also without avail. After hearing the
above particulars, we were invited to view the
body, which lay in a coffin on the table, where
1t had remained since Sunday, this being the
eighth day since death was supposed to have
taken place. The body presented the appear
ance OF person in health and sound sleep.
The face was full and round; the cheeks flush
ed and the lips red; the eyes unsunken, with
no outward signs of death. There was a
total absence Of muscular rigidity, and We'd
nesday, after lying six days in this condition,
the body was perceptibly warm to the touch
The physician present applied the stethscope,
but could detect no pulsation of the heart,
while the application of lighted match to the
skin produced no blister filled with serum,
which is said to be invariably the case when
life is present. Many physicians from the sur
rounding country have been to witness This
wonderful phenomenon, though disagreeing
in their conclusions, some believing Miss Kin9
TO be in state of trance, Others thinking her
dead, and attributing the preservation OF the
corpse to arsenic, which it is possible she had
been accustomed to take for the complexion,
habit practiced by many young ladies. That
Miss K. had this habit, however, the family
deny. The father of the young lady was Jo-
slah King, brother to Ex-Governor King, of
Rhode Island, who, it may be remembered,
occupied the subernatorial chair during the
Dorr war;" In 1912. Much sympathy is
ieit ana expressed for the family, and some
idea OF the public feeling manifested in the
case may be inferred from the fact that during
the past week over $500 people have visited
the house to see and to hear for themselves.
