A Startling RumOr-Which Caused Ire mendOus Excitement Until DenIed-A Report that EarI Spencer Had Been As- sassinated.
 DUBLIN, Aug. R4.-It was rumored here at o'clock that Earl Spencer had been assassi- mated at Cork while on railway train. The statement spread and the most intense ex- citement prevailed. The rumor was denied at the government buildings and at the vicereRal palace, but the rumor spread with out the denial. The people certainly did not display much regret, but there was 8 deeply fixed feeling that. if Earl Spencer had been murdered, it was only part of preconoert- ed plan and that news of other outrages would be received. The streets were filled with people up te midnight before conviction reached them that nothing had happened. The rurnor had it's origin in series of blun- ders on the part of the railway officials, blundsrs which seem inexcusable, but which did give reasonable cause for alarm. All the arrangements for the departure of the Vice. regal party from Cork where the Lord Lieu tenant spoke last night to a large assembly had beea made in advance and the party ac- companied by the guard which had gone from Dublin was to have started in the regular Cork mail to which special coaches had been attached. The traiH was, however. under special orders to await the pleasure of the Viceroy and when the latter took his seat in his carriage the train employees thought they had fulfilled their instruction and started the train on it's schedule time. Earl Spencer had, however gone to the station almost unat- tended and taken his seat in his carriage be- fore the arrival of his suite or the special guard The train was dispatched five min utes before Lady Spencer and the members of the Viceroy's suite arrived, and there was at once something approaching panic in the waiting room at the Cork station which soon spread to the guards on the platform and to the railway officials. It was believed that the false start had been made intention ally and that it was part of some plan to take the Earl's life. Lady Spencer tainted in the waiting room and the greatest alarm was felt, The wires were at once set to work, but brought ne bad news. Meanwhile special train was made up as quick as possible to take on Lady Spencer and party and the guard was dispatched within twenty minutes The excitement was intensified, however, by the news that the mail had met with col lision at MalIow, seventeen miles north of Cork, and this was thought to have been part of the plot at first The collision was only slight affair. The mail train waited to con- meet with the special and the journey was concluded without other incident. Guards within sighting distance of each other pa trolled the line the entire distance from Cork to Dublin.

The Fleet Before Hue An. Important
 Point for French Arms.
 PARIS, Aug. 24.-To-night's dispatches from the Tonquin district state that the French fleet is anchored before Hue, ten miles from the coast and the best fortified town accord ing to recent European authorities in the East.

 Henry Charles Ferdinand Marie Dieudonne d,Artoia. Comte ds Ohambord and Due de Bordeaux, was born at Paris, September 29, and the son of the Due de Berri, who was mur- dered in February, 1920. The eldest son of Charles X being chiIdless, Duo de Berri was heir prssun1ptive; and as, at his death, he left only daughter, the joy was great when, seven months after, his widow gave hrth to . prince who received the title of Duke of Bordekux-that of Count de Ohaubord, by which he was latterly known, being derived from the castle of Chambord presented to him by his partisans. He was baptized amid cireumstAnOes of great pomp and received the sappellation of FenfGnt du nsinaols After the revolution of July, 1880, during which his grandfather, Charles X, and his uncle, the Duo d'Angonleme, in vain re- signed their rights in his favor, he lived in exile successively in Scotland, Austria and for short time in italy, until 1s45, when he established himself at London. In 1851, after the death of the Duchess d' Angou- Isms, he inherited the domain of Frohgdorf, where he has since generally re- sided. He married in 1846 daughter of the Duo dc Modena, but he had no children and was the only surviving member of the elder branch of the Bourbon family. He claimed the throne by divine right and never relin- auisted his antiquated political ideas of which the white flag is the symbol.

WAsH1NGToN, Aug, 24.-For some time past reports have been reaching the general land office of depredations on timber on the line of the Canadian frontier. The commis- sioner caused an investigation :of these the depredations thus far committed are not as extensive as reported, but preparations were made on large scale for that purpose. Much of the timber already cut has been seized by agents of the government. For the purpose of putting stop to these depre- dations the commissioner of the general land office will cause criminal proceedings to be instituted against the guilty parties and the Secretary of State will take proper steps to cause the surrender of indicted parties to the American authorities.
