SPIRITED SISTERS.
Three Nuns Decamp with Pocketful
OF Money.

New York, Oct. 81.
The Graphic's Cleveland special says: A
startling disclosure was made here yesterday.
Three nuns connected with the charity hos
pi,al here, decamped with eco, 900 belonging
to the order. The nuns having charge of
this hospital are of the St. Vincent de Paul
order and own the convent on Monroe street,
where the majority of them live. Years ago
the convent was decided to them by Bishop
Rapp, since which time they have held it in
their own right Recently, it is alleged,
Bishop Gilmour has endeavored to compel
the nuns to observe certain rules distasteful
to them. A meeting Was the result, and in
order to get even with the Bishop, three of
the nuns gathered unto themselves $50, 600 in
cash and bonds and decxmped. The matter
has been kept very quiet, but leaked out late
last night.
LArER-Bishop Gilmourn denies the story
that three nuns of the order of st. Vincent
Paul decamped with ESQ 900. He says that
three sisters left St. Joseph's Hospital dis
satisfied with their duties, and returned to
their families, but have taken nothing with
them belonging to the church or society.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
Remarks Concerning the French Force
in TOnquin-The Government
Criticised.

PARIS, Oct. 81.
In the Chamber of Deputies today, M.
Clemenceau criticised the government for
stating in July last that the French force in
Tonquin was sufficient for all contingencies,
when the contrary was now admitted. At
first the question was the establishment of a
protectorate over Tonquin; now it was a
question of prOtectOrate over AMMAN. The
French forces and finances at Hue had been
committed to operations without consulta-
ton by the government with the Chambers.
Prime Minister Ferry hereupon declared that
he would reply to NJ. Clemenceau.
An order of the day expressing confidence
in the firmness and prudence of the govern
ment was adopted; 339 to 100.

LONDON ROUSED.
Every Man q Detective search'ng Iol
the Cause Of the ExplO.iou-The
Police Warned Three
Months Ago.

LONDON, Oct. 81.
The excitement over the explosions on the
underground railway line last evening was
very great. large number Of policemen
were on duty all night at various railway
stations and guarding the line. heavy
force was also employed Watching the house
of parliament and other public buildings.
An explosion at Charing Cross occurred
two hundred yards west of the station. No
trains were there at the time. The walls OF
the tunnel were battered, but the rails we're
not misplaced. The windows in the station
we're blown out. The roof was not damaged.
No person was hurt there. At Praed street
station the force of the explosion was terri
ble Although workmen were busily en-
gagged all night in removing the debris. they
have not vet finished the task nor has the
damage there been repaired.
The tunnel there was not destroyed. but
a deep hole was made in tie road bed. A
brick walk was blown up and gas pipes and
telegraph lines were broken. The refresh
ment saloon was wrecked and the windows
of other rooms at the station smashed.
An explosion occurred this morning under
passing train forty yards west OF the sta
ton. All the persons injured were in the
last two carriages of the train. 1t Is now
known that % persons, badly wounded, were
taken to st. Mary's hospital. Four were Sc
riously hurt, but are expected to recover
The others we're able to go to their homes.
All the available detectives of the metro
politan police force are engaged in searching
for the perpetrators of the outrages, and rail-
way officials are assisting them. The police
deny that any rocket cartridges were found
near the scenes of the explosions. No traces
as yet have been discovered Of the nature OF
the explosives. 1t has been ascertained
though that the explosions could not have
been caused by coal gas. No clue to the
persons who caused the explosion has been
obtained. Trains are running as usual this
morning.
The police warned the railway officials
three months ago that they had received ad-
vices from America of threatened explosions
like these which occurred last evening, and
precautions were taken to provide against
them.
Investigation made by scientific advisors
of the war department has led to the cOnclu-
sion that nitro -glycerine in some form was
the agent used in both cases. Later inquiries
confirm the early statement of the large
number injured. In addition to the 80 treat
ed at the hospital, large number were treat.
ed by private surgeons.

The temperance Of cholera in Egypt
Is apt to cause general alarm, but, although
several deaths are occurring daily in Alex
andria from the malady, there need be no
occasion for serious apprehension. because
the cold season is now rapidly setting in
oil over the Levant. and cholera and cold
cannot live together. The report thai
cholera has appeared in Mecca is stereo-
typed. Cholera exisists always in the
city Of the Prophet. and it would scarcely
be otherwise. for there is probably no city
in the world with less sanitary accommo-
dation and more pilgrims who certainly
believe that godliness. according to their
view, is far before cleanliness.

Report of the Third Auditor Of the
Treasury.

Third Auditor of the Treasury, Keightley,
in his annual report, calls attention
to the practice of employing non
bonded officers to disburse government funds,
the practice of which has resulted in a great
loss to the government. He says l2O nom
bonded officers disbursing in the quartermas-
ter's department alone, having in their hands
$4,000, too large sum to be held and paid
out by any class of men upon the security OF
honor alone.
In the engineer department the entire
amount appropriated by the river and har-
Dor" and '.fortifcation" bills disbursed by
officers not under bond, the sums paid out
aggregate millions OF dollars every year. l
believe firmly in the honor and fidelity Of =
great body of our army officers, but also be-
lieve in the interest Of the government. In
herent honesty should be supplemented by a
good and sufficient bond.
