THE CAUCUS FAILS.
Special to The Chicago Inter Ocean.

Albany,'N. Y May 30.-The republi-
can members OF the legislature returned
to the city this afternoon, and proceeded
to the usual routine business. At the
close Of the session of the assembly q
caucus of the members OF that body was
called by the caucus committee of the
house, pursuant to q request of q msiori-
ty of the republican members and OF
senators concurring therein. A majori-
ty of the members Of the assembly did
not attend, however. Owing to the alb
since of several Bigners from the city, an
adjournment was had until Tuesday
evening. The opponents of Senator
Conkling we're very iubllent over the
result. They held conference at the
rooms Of Senator Harris, which was at
tended by tifty-fve members of both
parties. There were thirty eight in the
assembly caucus. This leaves thirteen
members of the two houses who did not
attend either conference.
The opponents of Senator Conkling
dare not trust themselves in caucus with
his friends. They hold the field. and
there is multiplicity of probable and
possible candidates. The moment ballot
ing becomes reduced to few names the
concentration will benefit Conkling and
Platt, unless there should be dev eloped
stronger tendencies toward the other
names than yet exists. On this rock the
conglomerate opposition is likely to
split.
Persistent efforts are made to drag
Governor Cornell's name in for the ben.
eft of the opposition. This is done
without his authority and against his
advice. He is active in the councils ol
Senator Conkling, with Senator Platt
Vice President Arthur, and Speaker
Sharpe, and is rendering valuable aid
All use Of his name with the Office o.
senator is entirely unwarranted. The
outlook at present is that there will be ,
deadlock, although there is some hope
that joint caucus will be held to-mor
row evening.

: New York, May 3l.-,The agent of the
New York associated press, at Albany tel
egraphs that tonight it lis universally
conceded that Conkling is entirely out
of the race, and that gentlemen, who had
been closeted with the leaders for an
hour. had no hesitancY in admitting that
it was but question what candidates
the party would select to meet with un-
animity. Amupg republicans Cornell
and Depew are tho names the agent
hears on every side, but the letter of de-
clinatlon, it is believed, puts an end to
that combination. Some are urging for

MICHAEL NEy.

For many years the Man in the Iron
Mask has been a mystery, and while the
eircling ages continue toroll onward and
bear their freight OF human JOY and woe
to the great ocean of oblivion, it will
probably eontiHle Volumes have been
written about this mysterious and un-
known person, who was kept close pri-
soner at the Court of Louis the Four
teenth for many years and still the mys-
terry that surround him is as impenetra-
BILE as the veil that hides fnturity from
mortal ken. He was the man who wore
the Iron Mask! This and only this we
know!
Who he was, and why he was deemed
to wear this badge Of slavery and shame,
has been as effectually concealed as are
the inscrutable purposes of Deity.
But the mystery surrounding the Man

A girl Of fifteen, convicted Of unlaw-
ful begging within the city precincts,
was cast into prison in Lugos, Hungary.
During the very first night of her incar
ceration, however, she not only contriy-.
ed to escape from her cell, but to alb
stract the key OF the great prison
gates from its place Of nocturnal depos-
it in the chief warder's lodge. She
noislessly let herself out of Jail. and
closing the gates from outside, double
locked them securely, vanishing into
darkness, with the key safe in her pock-
ct. Next morning, early, when the off
Gals Of the Stadthaus arose from their
slumbers, they found themselves pris-
oners to their latest captive. Strenn-
Gus efforts to break open the prison
gates from within having proved inef-
fectual, they were compelled to invoke
the intervention Of a bakers boy, whom
the chief warder hailed from the roof Of
the Jail, and exhorted to fetch the Royal
Free Municipal locksmith with oil con-
venient speed. That functionary pres
emily made his appearance on the scene,
dexterously picked tho lock Of tho Staa-
thaus door, and delivered the correction

in their own jail.

A very regrettable incident occurred
recently at the Varieties, inst as the cur
tain was about to rise on tho second act
Of the "Roussette." NJ. Gaetan dc Mop
clin, a gentleman who has, itappsars,
taken offence at an article published y
short time ago in the Gaulois, in which
he fanoied that allusion was made to
himself, approached N. Meyer, the edi-
tor of that journal, who was sitting
alone in box, and said: "My dear NJ.
Meyer, are you aware that you have .
pleasant way of joking9" NJ. Meyer,
who had already heard that NJ. de Mon
Gin was incensed at the publication Of
the article in question, quietly replied :.
81 know, monsieur, that you want mg
to give you satisfaction. Well, let it be
but no scandal" Instead Of answering
M. Meyer, NJ. de Monclin plucked him.
by the beard, exclaiming, "You made
fun ofme before your readers--I am CO.
ing to make theatre full Of spectators
laugh at you." He then tapped NJ.
Meyer Oh the head, adding, by way OF
reference to his badness, "you have a
line beard, but you would do better to
put it up there, it would keep you warm
in winter" This was too much for NJ.
Meyer, who seized his stick and struck
NJ. de Monclin with it. NJ. G. Fould
threw himself between the two. while
NJ. Esealier, disarmed NJ. Meyer. The
belligerents were then conducted to the
Commissary Of Police, and to him NJ. do
Monclin acknowledged that he had been
hunting NJ. Meyer from place to place
during the past week. They were then
released and resumed their places in ths
theatre. NJ. Meyer, who gives an ac-
count Of the affair in the Caulois, saws
the question must now be settled on the
ground chosen by NJ de Nonclin him
self. When matter Of this kind is 30
handled that the first powparleys COM
mence in the presence ofa commissary
ofpolice, the affair can only be contiD-
ned in court of law. "Nous verrons

moved to Virginia, in various parts of
which State he resided until 1924, which.
this (Iredell) county, and was engaged
by Colonel Francis Young to tsAoh ths'
languages to his Sons a. she Oak Hin
Academy. He continued to teach IN this
neighborhood ut intervals until
1893, being able to secure school
whenever he wished. During most Of
this time he boarded with Nr. r. Huston
the father Of Mrs. Dalton, the lady from
whom most Of the information upon
which this sketch is based was obtained.
He was q man Q little under nix feet II
height, not very ficshy, but quite mus
culnr, and weighed two hundred pounds
His head was nearly bald and showed q
scar on one side, which he said was T.
sword wound received in battle, and his
face was slightly marked with smallpox.
MIR. Ney was good scholar, and posses
sing the rare faculty Of easily imparting
knowledge to the young, he was regard
ed as first rate teacher. He was ~
splendid mathematician and seemed to
take great pride in working out difficult
problems. His handwriting (many spe-
cimens Of which have been shown me by
Mrs. Dalton) was simply magnificent,
abonnding in all kinds Of grand and diff
ficult flourishes. Mr.. Ney was an expert
fencer and taught his male pupils the
art, and after school duties were over he
would fence with them for hours, SEEM
ing never to tire Of the spirit. As ~
teacher he was very strict and was re-
garded by his patrons as the best discip-
linarian Of his day, but at the same time
he was very popular with his students,
all Of whom loved and revered him, and,
to use the language Of one Of them,
"would have fought for him and died for
him had it been necessary"

many persons who knew OF the charac.
teristics Of Michael Rudolph, that he
and Ney were one and the same person,
and that the vessel and crew which had
sailed away from North Point many
years ago, cheering for GLORIOUS revo'
lutionary France" had been carried by
their officers to that country, and that
Michael Rudolph had changed his sur
name to Ney, and entered the French
army. In confirmation of this theory II
was asserted by those who were &c
quainted with Ney that he spoke the
English language quite as well as he
did the French, when he chose to do 80,
but always refrained from displaying
his fluency in the former, for obvious
reasons when in the prcSence Of Ameri-
cans or Englishmen. 1t has also been
asserted by those who have investigated
the subject that Ney was called "the
American tobacco merchant" by hia
brother officers, and that about the time
Of the disclosure made Oh the Elk river
by Lallemand to Foreman, two Of Ney's
sons by his last wife, had visited So
yannah as was supposed to obtain IN
formation concerning Rudolph's wife.
For these reasons and many others
quite as cogent, not q few people be-
lieyed in the truth Of this theory, but
it was never adopted by the relatives OF
the missing man who had such implicit
confidence in his integrity that they
scorned the imputation that he could
have betrayed his trnst as supercargo,
and sacrificed the interest Of the owners
and consignees ofthe missing vessel.
Such, briefly told, is the story OF the
disappearance Of Michael Rudolph. The
reader will perhaps be better able to
Judge Of the truth of the theory con-
corning his identity after reading tho
next chapter.

Lille i. Barr, in Harper's Young People,
was reading of kings and mobiles,
Tourney aud knghtly gage,
Til the summer twilight faded
From Froissart's ancient page.
Then in the darkened paTlor
! saw fairer sight
The brave old King whose valor makes
The shame Of Creey light.
He stood on the little hillside
Taller than all his peers,
Quite blind but with eyes uplfted,
Hoary with maly years
still wearing his golden armor
Crowned with his royal crown,
Leaning upon the sword with which
He struck the Sedan down.
Aud high In his cleaning helmet
Three ostrich plHmes, snow white
From the paynim's brow he tore them
In some Jabluna fight.
All Scared with Carpathan arrows,
His heart with honor flames:
Advance he cries, and fight for France,
Bohemia, and 81. James,
But two of his knights staid by him,
And little did they say;
The blind old King talked with his heart,
And that was in the fray.
Alas alas He heard too soon
The sound of samcfuf flight;
Thank God, " he sighed, "Bohemia's blind
He would not see this sight
Now, friends, one more good deed claim
Last service for your lord
ask II soldiers grave, good knights;
I'll dig it with my sword,
My horses rcins tie fast to yours
\ friend on either hand
Then ride straight on to where you see
The English archers stand
They kissed their King most tenderly
Then three rs one they went
Down to the field of certain death,
With proud and glad content.
They cut path to where Prince Charles
The Kings son, stood at bay;
Twas spirits, and not flesh AMI blood,
For honor fought that day.
The three white plumes above the gloom
Cleaned like n snowy wing;
Victors and vanquished paused to watch
The blind Bohemian King.
Pierced oft by arrows, stained with blood,
The Soldan's plumes still wave,
Until Bohemas sword had cut
Honor's unsullied grave.
Next day, when English hefalds sought
Over the fatal field
Tmmpled lilies and flags of France,
They found upon his shield
The blind old King of Bohemia
Son and friends by his side;
But torn and stained the snowy plumes
That long had been his pride
Then said the Black Prince over him,
20, knight, the bravest, best,
Thy plumes are died in heros blood
Henceforth they are my crest"
And still they wave DER England's crown,
And teach the young and brave,
When all is lost but honor, then
Valor digs Honors grave.

CHAPTER II.
PETER STUART NEY.

About two years ago o correspondent
of the New York Herald, when wander
ing through North Carolina, nnearthed
another strange parsonage or rather un-
earthed and gave publicity to part Of
the history Of another person, who, it is
claimed by those who knew him, was
the veritable Michael Ney. After Civ
ing an interesting sketch Of the great
Marshal, who the Emperor Napoleon
delighted to characterize as "the bra
vest Of the brave" the Herald cores
pondent proceeds as follows:
After the abdication of Napoleon, Ney
remained in Paris in almost entire seclu-
sion, finding companionship in books
and in quiet dissipation. lie gave in a
formal adhesion to the Bourbon dynasty,
but after Bonaparte returned to France
from Elba the "bravest of the brave"
joined again his old master and followed
his eagles until the star of the empire
forever set at Waterloo. The allies, af.
ter they assembled in Paris, demanded
some victim to appease their anger.
Ney was a prominent example, and he
was accordingly arraigned before the
Chamber Of Peers, Of which he was a
member, on q charge of treason, pro-
nounced guilty and (here comes the part
which the people Of this section, at
least, believe to be false), on the 18th day
of December, lsl5, was publicly shot in
the garden Of the Luxembourg, his last
words being addressed to the platoon of
soldiers drawn up to do the bloody work,
as follows: "Fire, my comradesw
"ren balls" says history, Conferred
him, and he fell dead"
The last assertion is the one which is
denied, and the object of this article is
to show the grounds for that denial.
1t is proper, however, to revert to his
tory, and mention some Of the charac-
teristics Of Marshal Ney. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that his biographer is not more
elaborate in regard to the old soldiers
private life, his habits and his personal
traits. 1t is admitted that Marshal Ney
was kind and gentle to a fault. There
was kind Of magnetism about the man
which drew to him the hearts of all who
knew him. Indeed, Napoleon is quoted |
as follows: "The love Of which the
men bear to Ney wins as many battles
for him as does his ammunition" He I
was fond of books, was a mathematician
of no mean pretensions and an expert |
penman. While he was not dissipated |
man he drank wine to excess, and some
times lost his equilibrium. Such, in
brief, is sketch of the public career of I
Michael Ney. Marshal Of France under (

Yesterday from Agent Bloomfield at Nafl-
mar two punches of wheat heads showing
remarkable differences in size and fu%

salt. The two samples are from the farm
of W. D. Washburn, twelve miles south
of Willmar. The smaller and least ad-
vanced heads are from one part of field
and the larger, more plump and advanced
heads, half larger than the Others, are
from another part Both are Scotch Fife

that the soil, time of sowing seed, Guilt
walton and all conditions, except the salt,
are tire Same for each sample: In both
the color is good, but the salted wheat is
by far the best. Farmers of the vicinity
estimate that the salt has increased the
