AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
A Commissioner Sent to England To Se-
cure Contract.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 14.-Hon. Rich
ard C. Baker, ex-Minister of Justice Of
South Australia, who arrived here by the
last Australian steamer, en- route to Lon
don, was interviewed on the probilities of
the withdrawal of the Pacific Mail steam
ers. He said: at is precisely upon mat
ters relating to that that am now going
to London. I have been commissioned by
the Australian colonies to go and consult
with the home Government relative to an
agreement which has been drawn up, by
which the English-American mail service
can be let to any steamship company. The
agreement referred to has been signed by
South Australia, New South Wales and
Victoria, and have reason to believe that
Tasmania, Queenstown and West Aus
tralia will also sign it. Whether New Zea-
land will do SO is doubtful. The proposal
is to pay the steamship company SO much
per pound for mail matter. The
contract will call for q weekly mail from
London to Adelaide. English companies
taking the mail via Suez receive subsidy
of 81 ,OOO, 900 a year. Their contracts ex-
pire in September, 1877. The arrangement
would commence on that date. Mr..
Baker added that the Canadian Pacific
had offered to provide weekly English
Australian mail service via Vancouver
Island for $5OO.OOO a year, and as the
colonies were were now paying twice that
sum it was possible that the Canadian
Pacific would secure it. The probabilities
OF their doing it would, he said, be in
creased if the Canadian Government would
subsidize line of steamers between British
Columbia and Australia, which he under
stood it was intended to do.

Ine daughter OF late DR.. William Draper
brlnekle' a physician; Who enjoyed a larse
plactlce and moved in the highest corcles Of
so.ie1y mere thirty years ago. Miss Brinckle
was mas an acknowledged BELLE WON n Of
sreat beauty and accomplishments and a
popular favorite. She was extremely ex-
traVagant, but an unfortunate change in
9he financial condition of her father made
IL impossible f.r him to pay her bills, as he

and without knowing anything of the law
IN such cases, ordered q piano and set of
furniture, which she sold before paying for
them. This proceeding scandalized the set
TO which the Brinckle's belonged, and as it
was stated ut the time, to save the "family
honor" Miss Brinckle was sent to the
Asylum, entering the institution in July,
1903. When the twelfth national Con-
terence OF Charities and Corrections met in
Washington last June, one OF the delegates
made the following statement: IA beauti-
ful young lady, used to wealth, is extrava.
CANT, and her father, unable to restrain her
habit OF spending, concludes that she needs
custodian and places her in q hospital,
HEEDLEss OF HER EARNEST PROTESTS.
Hedies and leaves her in there. There
she has been for nearly thirty years. and is
now nearly so years Of age, and still beg
ging to be released, but the Custodian still
thinks she needs custodian's care, and
she remains to this date under restrain of
her personal liberty" This led to an in
vestigation, and Miss Brinckle was visited
at the State Lunatic Asylum, at Harris
burg, and the committee reported that
there was no evidence OF insanity in her
case, but still no release, and the unfortu-
nate woman had abandoned all hope.
of the State Common Lun-
acy Commission visited her, however. Then
an order came, and she was sent out free
woman. Upon her arrival in the city she
WAS taken to the convalescent retreat near
Glen Mills, where she is being tenderly cared
for. Miss Brinckle is now gray-haired
woman of go years, in full possession of all
her faculties, and in good bodily health.

band of about twenty-five Crows,
who suffered loss by the Piegans, will do
them up. A detective system is being Or
ganized, whereby the movement OF the
marauders will be watched and telegraphed
over the Territory, and effective means

MARsEILLEs, August 15.-Three hundred
and seventy deaths from cholera were re-

MADRID, August 15.-There were 4,819
new cases of cholera and 1 $40 deaths yes
terday throughout Spain.
PARIS, August 15.-Stringent measures
are being taken to keep the cholera away
from this city. Travellers from the south
are quarantined and the streets are cleaned
every night. Tk. Pa lis Nationsl, the first
journal to announce the appearance of the
cholera at Marseilles, insists that the num-
Der OF deaths that have occurred there from
the disease is still much underra ted.
GIBRALTAR, August 15.-The existence of
cholera within the Spanish lines was
officially declared to-day, and the disease is
spreading. There were four deaths here to
day from cholera, which has been traced to
injection contracted on Spanish soil. A
deputation waited upon the Governor of Glib
raltar and requested him to shut off COM
munication with Spain. This he refused to
do. The panic increases hourly apd the
exodus grows correspondingly. The epopu-
lace is greatly Disconnected over the con-
duct of the military authorities in refusing
to adopt the necessary precautions against
the introduction of cholera from other
countries.

Grasshoppers in Montana. /.

WASHINGTON, August Is. Owing to
rumors OF the injury by grasshoppers in
parts OF Montana, the Signal Bureau has,
at Professor Riley's request, instructed it's
agents in the Northwest to telegraph at
once any observations of injury or move
ments, instead of sending them monthly as
heretofore. Professor Riley also sent an
agent to the place, whose reports confirm
the previous statement. Not only are there
large numbers OF the destructive Rocky
mountain species at work, but the common
native and now migratory species are also
much more numerous than usual. At Fort
Buford and Poplar Pine agency the locusts
are very abundant, destroying the crops.
On July 29th, during the middle OF the day,
large proportion OF the Rocky mountain
species left toward the east and southwest.
