Adventures Of Lieutenant q. q. De RudiO,
spirasor Of orsini and f PEE IN the a..
tempt 90 Assassinate Napoleon.
From the 81. Paul Pioneer Press.l
BISMARCK, ID. T., April 2S.-In a
neat and snug half of one of the houses
for the officers Of the 9TH Cavalry, Fort
A. Lincoln, we found Lieut.. G. c. DE
Rudio, commanding officer Of Troop T..
The trappings and ornaments Of the re-
ception room mirrored the soldier Of
two continents. Over the door hung
the likeness Of Joseph Mazzini, the Ital-
ian patriot; over the mantel-piece two
cavalry sabers crossed, one the gift Of q
former command; to the left of the
cheerful fireplace q miniature EXPOSE
ton Of Indian curiosities, with q fawn's
head in the center; on q lounge q wolf
robe, and around the room photo
graphs, brackets and mementoes, tell
ing the taste, rank and fortunes Of the
possessor. II was easily seen that there
was history In these surroundings. And

is historical entertainment for
the one, and we hope no un-
reasonable bore for the other. The
report that our military friend was
writing an autobiography at the sugges-
ton Of public :can In this country and
Europe, prompted the interview with
the newspaper idea Of always anticipat-
ing the book publisher, when it Is worth
while. DE Rudio Is 46 years Of age.
He began his careerof adventurei in 1913.
He was then cadet in an Austrian mil
itary academy. His family recited It's
age by centuries, and all the way down
was noted for its patriotism to Italy and
disloyalty 70 despotism. His father was
q citizen Of Bologna and Venetian,
fiery In the cause Of Italian unity. The
sons whole education was hatred TO
tyranny. The patriotic traditions OF the
house Of De Rudio were never to be for
gotten. The unity Of fair Italy was the
alpha and omega Of the young mans
political alphabet. Add 70 this bias the
death Of two brothers, fathers impris-
onmeDt, and the coniiscation Of his prop
erty, and the reader will have De Rn-

The New nor Bill.

1t does not, as the telegram said, prohibit the
transportation of liquors intended for private
parties, but only such as are for unlawful sale.
1t does not propose to repeal all other liquor
laws, but only such acts and parts OF acts as
are Inconsistent with its provisions.
The prohibtory policy of Maine was adopted
twentS-seven years ago and is founded in the
fact that the liquor traffic is an infinite public
mischief and an infinite social and
private misery. The people of Maine have
many times reafirmed their purpose to adhere
to that policy and their determination to er-
force 1t upon those who resist it.
The two great political parties of the State
have in che most formal manner given in their
adhesion to prohibition aud their refusal to en-
tertain any proposition of license. The new
bill is intended to cause the clearly expressed
will of the people to be respected, aud there
is no clause in it that can harm any one who
does not violate the law. The purpose of the
bill is to put down the grog shops effectually
and no one has just cause to object to it, unless
he disapproves the suppression of those fruit

THE BATES MANCFACTURENG
COMPANY.
Financial Erregularity of the Late lsenja-
min e. Bates-The Financial Condit ion
of the Company Badly Impaired.

Sine the death of Mr.. Ben amin E. Bates the
widest rumors have prevailed concerning ir-
regularities in that gentleman's financial man
agement of the Bates Manufacturing Company
of Lewiston, of which he vas treasurer. These
rumors have often been very exaggerated, but
it is unqueslionably true, says the Boston Jour-
nal of last evening, that there exists condi-
tion OF affairs in the management of the Bates
Company which involves a net accountability
on the part of Mr.. Bates to the corporation of
two hundred thousand dollars. Mr.. Bates has
been the treasurer of the corpor alton since it
was first established, and has managed its af-
fairs with such ability in the past that there
has lot existed any very rigid oversight on the
part of the directors The money borrowed by
Mr.. Bates as Treasurer has been diverted to his
personal use, the company receiving his obli-
cations, which will probably be paid. The fact
that this obligation was incurred without the
knowledge of the directors COL sttutes the error
made by Mr. Bates, who, had he lived. would
no doubt have redeemed his pledges
The directors find themselves encumbered by
debt OF which they had no knowledge, and
they are therefore constrained to give publicity
to the fact in justice to themselves and the
stockholders, as the trustees of the estate of
Mr.. Bates under the law have a right to one
years time before liquidating any claims. 1t
is impossible at the present time to determine
how far the estate of Mr.. Bates will be able to
respond to the various obligations which Mr..
Bates has Incurred, though it is the opinion of
many who are familiar with the affairs of the
deceased that after meeting every liability there
will be surplus.
Mr.. Bates has long SO been left to the entire
control OF the affairs of the companylthat he
probably came to regard the corporation as a
| part of himself, and confident of his own large
wealth be looked upon the loan secured for his
| personal advantage, by giving h is obligation as
treasurer, as transaction which was not in
| any way irregular. His sudden death has
shown the danger of even temporary expedi-
| ent which involves the interests of others. Mr..
Bates within a short time has stated that his
wealth would aggregate more than q million of
dollars,

Company alone, and the rumors extending them

ton. 1t will undoubtedly be necessary to raise
new capital for the Bates Company, but this
can be done readily as their business is profita.

The Traveller says the rumors affecting the
soveney of the state of Mr.. Bates are whols
false. His will bequeaths 81 100000 in private
and charitable bequests, and recent inventory

new attraction in the shape of their uniforms
which they appeared in for the first time on
this occasion. Much of the curiosity to see
the company was lost by allowing the mem

all had seen the uniforms at their hearts con-
