How She Practices Economy-A HIgh-Spir-
tied and Fascinating Woman.
Aix-les- Bains Letter in Boston Herald
The Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lorne,
arrived the other morning, after nights jour
ney, and was met at the station by her physi-
clan, who conducted her to "the little hotel on
the hill" where last season she sought relief
from the publicity and the excessive charges of
the Hotel de IEurope. Tho proprietor Of this
fashionable caravansery which has for its chief
merit beautiful and extensive garden, asked
the Princess Louise the same rates he had pre-
viously exacted from her royal mother. AS the
Queen is rich and the Marchioness of Lorne COM
paratively poor, the latter protested, and find
ing, moreover. that there was "too much music
and too many English" took her departure
The little Hotel Thermals almost entirely given
over to her use. 1t is secluded and compare
lively cheap and the Princess avoids the con-
slant espionage that forms the penalty royalty
pays whenever it appears in public
The Princess Louise is the only one Of the
queens daughters VINO has ever refused to bow
entirely to the maternal will She is high
spirited, clever, rather original and indispntaby
fascinating Her teeth are dazzling, her eyes
are blue as forget-me-nots, her hair rlpples
brown and gold, and courtiers can conscientious
iy praise her complexion, for 1t has soft,
peach-llke bloom She looks in splendid health
and excellent spirits. At AK she dresses as
simply as possible-her costume may best be de-
scribed as o yachting suit-and she is fond OF
wearing jaunty sailors straw hat. The Prin--
cess has not the faintest idea while at AK of
dressing for dinners or dances, and rarely ap-
pears at the Casino; but when she docs it is In
the same suit she has worn in the morning.
The weather has been wretched since her arrival,
and has kept her indoors. reading and drawing,
bat when it is fine she strolls through the beau
tiful pine groves of the park, above which one
has heavenly glimpse of blue mountains, or
drives over the picturesque roads, either to the
grand port" of the lake or under the spreading
branches that shelter the avenue of Marlioz.

DIR. ADAMS'S TREASURE.
lie Seeks to Recover $50, 900 of Buried Cash,
and Ends by Being Put in Jail.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The Times sNew Orleans
La, special gays: "Dr. George j. Adams, Of
Massachusetts,, was arrested here to-day,
charged with embezzlement by a number of
persons whom he defrauded out of money to
search for hidden treasure. Adams claims to
have been a practicing physician in Massachu-
SETS. When the war broke out he shouldered a
musket and joined Company A, Seventeeth
Massachusetts Volunteers. A portion of the
command came with Butler to New Orleans In
a foraging expedition three soldiers of the regi-
ment entered dwelling on the Magnolia planta-
tion, twenty miles above New Orleans, on the
right bank of the river, and carried off some
$780, 600 in gold and silver, ST. 800 Of it in silver
halfdollars, ST. 900 in dollars, and the rem inder
in gol6 Being afraid to enter the city with so
much money, on reaching pecan grove about
half a mile from the locks at the ca
nal, opposite Greenville, they selected a
tree prominent for its size and some
peculiarities about its appearance which
made 1t conspicuous. AT the foot OF this tree they
buried the money, and then took bearings. one
of the party being civil engineer Each of the
three men were furnished with copy of this,
and the Tnsrauders returned to New Orleans, in
tending to return after the war and recover the
money. His two companions were killed. and
Adams was desperately wounded soon after.
Adams vas taken to a Northern hospital, and
left it parayzed and helpless When he re-
covered the use of his limbs, only month ago,
he eturned to New Orleans and at once began
to search for this treasure. He found to his dis
may that all the older pecan trees had been cut
down, and only the young ones left, and was,
consequently, unable to recognize the tree under
which the treasure was buried He devoted
himself, however, for three weeks to delving for
it. A few daYS ago he took several other parties
into partnership with him, who advanced bet
ter outfit for surveying the land and digging for
the money. but as he has unearthed no treasure,
his partners had him arrested to-day"

BULGARIA AND RUSSIA.
The Czar Knows What He Wants, and Would
Like to Know England's Intentions.

The Gear Knows What He Wants, and Would
Like to Know Eneland's Intentions.
LONDON, Sept. 10.-The ST. Petersburg
Novoe Vremya says: zoe all the signers of
the Berlin treaty England alone appears in
clined to oppose Russia's Bulgarian policy.
Russia must know whether England's inten-
ton is serious. in order to prepare herself to
take measures accordingly, as Russia will
not be brought to a standstill by England's
veto"
The Journal de st. Petersburg says: "Prince
Alexander's proclamation of departure contains
mention of alleged Russian assurances given
to him. For reasons useless to discuss, Russia
could not make any engagements with
Prince Alexander. In view, however,
of the party struggle in Bulgaria
and the agitation of the public
mind which the proclamation has caused, the
Russian agents in Bulgaria have been instructed
to inform the Bulgarian people that Russia is
disposed to exert her influence to establish party
concord and restore quiet. Russia will not with
hold her support from any legally constituted pro-
visional government, guided by non-partisan in
terests and conducted for the general welfare.
Russia is willing to apply herself to the task of
removing dissensions. from the painful conse-
quences of which Bulgaria has already suffered
too much. Russia hopes that the Bulgarian ma
ton and her Representatives will be able to ap-
preciate these counsels and act accordingly"
The Vienna Neue Freie Presse publishes
dispatch from Sofa which states that the Off
GERS Of the Bulgarian army stationed there met
yesterday and adopted resolutions pledging
themselves in fervent loyalty to Prince Alex
ander, and expressing themselves as confident
that he would return to Bulgaria. The dispatch
further says that major and two captains of
the Plovdiff regiment, supported by the soldiers
of the regiment. had joined in a plot
to prevent Prince Alexander from leav-
ing Bulgaria. The leaders in this conspiracy,
the Neue Frei Presse adds, were placed under
arrest, but were released after his departure.
The Fremdenblatt says these newspapers which
speak Of Incorporating Russia and Bulgaria re-
feet only Russian pan -Slavist aspirations. The
insinuations that Austria would participate in
any of the intrigues connected with the Bull
garian question, especially with that having for
it's object the reopening of the question of the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are
wholly baseless.
The opposition in the Bulgarian Sobranje in
tend to protest against the regency on the
ground that it was illegally appointed
Russia has offered to guarantee Bulgarian
loan of 10, 900, 900 roubles
The Berlin Tagblatt says that the Austrian
government has sent diplomatic note to ST.
Petersburg, demonstrating against the sending
of any Russian official to Bulgaria.
It is reported that Prince Henry of Batten-
berg, who is on his way to Darmstadt, brings
with him letter from Queen Victoria, inviting
Prince Alexander to visit Baimoral

MINOR MATTERS,

The Republican Hand-Book-How the De-
mocracy Will BE Attacked.
Washington Special.
Edward Mcpherson, secretary of the Repub-
lican congressional campaign committee, said
to-day: MY campaign book has been out about
ten days, but you know my book is not partisan.
1t contains facts and figures which cannot be dig
puted. The committee will not waste any am
munition upon scattering charges of the Demo-
crate, as, for instance the particular allegations
made by General Black to the former conduct
of the Pension Office. That was the act of an
individual, and think General Dudley can take
care of that. We shall attack the policy of the
Democratic party upon the subject of pensions
The debate IN the House upon the rule sought to
be made by Morrison, that, whenever pension
bill was proposed. there should be an amend
ment providing for taxation to meet the amount
of the pension bill, shows the animus of the
Democratic party toward the pension system in
the strongest possible light, and we shall issue
that debate at length Then the presidential
vetoes of pension bills furnish an inexhaustible
fund Of attack. The tariff will be our strong
point and the contrast between the whole course
of the Republican party in defendiIg protection
to American industry and American labor and
the desire of the Democrats to force free trade
upon the country and compel our workingmen to
compete with the pauper labor of Europe, will be
sharply brought out"

A JONAH ABOARD.

Experience of the Schooner Lizzie p. Sim
mons in the ARCTIC Seas.
Aberdeen Gable Special.
The American schooner Lizzie P Simmons,
which left New London in June, 1884, bourd on
& whaling voyage, must have had Jonah
| among her crew. She was not only ship
wrecked amid the ice fields, but the bark Per
severance. making port here on Monday with
her saved crew on board, was blown off the
coast in one of the violent gales recently pre-
vailing, and only came to anchor to-day, after
being in much danger of fouudering I drew
this adventurous story from one of the
saved crew. It seems that the Lizze's
captain named Roche, was left at whal-
ing station on Davis straits, in charge
of some saved stores. and two years and a half's
oil catch. The ship and crew had had fair work,
without incident in the waters between Baffin's
Land and Greenland. up to last November
when the vessel became blocked in the ice drift,
with series or gales drifting her helplessly
about, when, coming near the land, the crew
abandoned her and made for the shore They
built a cabin, to which they removed some
stores, but after month of much hardship re-
joined the ship, which had become fast in the
ice. There w@re seven feet of water in the
hold, which they pumped out, and then remained
aboard all through a winter, accompanied by
the usual rigor and amid the customary scenes
of an arctic locality When the schooner
was released, in the spring, from the
blocked ice, and was clear of ice
and hoated free, it became evident that through
leaking she must eventually go down. Being
close to a headland, and with the boats all safe,
all the stores and large portion of the oil catch
were removed to the shore by hard labor. The
captain and crew remained by her through the
summer, occupying themselves in fishing, hunt
ing aud watching for signs of vessels, when the
bark Perseverance, bound for Cumberl gulf,
attracted by the signals, took all aboard except
the captain. My informant brings letters tc the
owners, who will, doubtless, receipt of the
same, dispatch vessel to the spot. His story

regarding fall trade are being made good. The
Western cities generally report trade brisk and
in large volume. Cincinnati sends word of a
general hardening Of prices and increasing de-
mand since last report. A marked improvement
in the jobbing trade Is noted at Detroit At
Louisville general trade shows distinct gain
over preceding weeks, and a spirited revival, as
compared with several preceding years.
Kansas City telegraphs increasing activ-
ity with more liberal movement
than for several weeks At Pittsburg and other
points further east, trade has been halting meas
urably owing to the unseasonably not weather.
The temporary i'll effects of the hot weather on
New England trade are noted at Boston.
The bank clearings at thirty cities for this
week amounted to $775, ,497,2I4 as compared
with $154, ,099, 602 last week The decline last

6-10 per cent, and this week the increase is
3 1-5 per cent
The New York stock market shows frmer
tone, consequent upon improvement in earnings
and a prospect that the granger roads will form
harmonious pool Speculation, until the close
of the week, was slack, but transactions in stocks
amounted to S59 coo shares against 633, 900

An Increase of 9O,OOO,OOO Bushels in the
Wheat Yield and a Decrease in Corn.

An Increase of 9O,OOO,OOO Bushels in the
Wheat Yield and Decrease in Corn.
WASHINGTON, Sept 10-The September re-
port of the Department of Agriculture shows a
better yield of spring wheat than was expected
a month ago. Tho improvement is in the north
ern belt-Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota In
Nebraska there has been decline; in Iowa, lit
tie change. The general average is Sian in
crosse of four points The average yield of the
crop, so far as the results of thrashng are re-
ported, exceeds eleven bushels, and may reach
eleven and one-half bushels per acre. Thrash
ing of winter wheat in the Ohio valley gives a
better return than was expected at harvest and
there is some improvement in Missouri and Kan
sas. In the Middle and Eastern States the per-
eentages of July are not materially changed. In
the South the harvest was disappointing, and
rains injured the product in the shock The re-
turns indicate average yield Of about twelve
and one-half bushels per acre The entire wheat
product will apparently exceed that of last year
by 80, 000, 900 to 10000, 900 bushels. The exact
determination of area harvested and results of
thraShing are easily equivalent to a variation of
at least per cent.
Corn has declined from 81 in August to IT, In
the States of principal production the status is
follows; Kentucky. from 81 in August to 90

from II to ~; Alissouri,75 to 62 Kansas. Y to
g. Nebraska, 76 to 6S; Iowa, 73 to 67. The loss
west of Indiana is caused by drought In the
south Atlantic States there has been improve
ment; Oh the gulf coast, slight Improvement,
except IN Texas where drought has reduced the
condition. The present crop prospect, with no
further decline, is 10 per cent worse than last
year, and indicates over twenty-one bushels per
acre, or nearly sixteen hundred million bushels.
The result of thrashing makes the condition of
oats at harvest o. small reduction from earlier
expectations. The average of barley is 93 indi-
eating an average crop. The condition of tobac-
co averages 81. The number of fattening hogs
are apparently less by per cent, with some re-
duction in average weight.
