From Foreign Lands.

The Stuttgart Gazette makes O denial OF
the statement that DR.. Woodcock, otherwise
Baron Savage, one OF the American favorites
of the king Of Wurtemburg, was dismissed by
the king. 1t says he gave up his Office of his
own free will. The king, it says, will always
bear in mind the services rendered to him by
DR.. Woodcock during his illness in 1884.
The paper also declares to be untrue the
statement that DR.. Woodcock took part in
spiritualist experiments.
The corporation of Glasgow gave a BAN
quet to Mr.. Phelps, the American minister.
In response to a'toast Mr.. Phelps made q
speech, which was received with great ap-
plause. In the course of his remarks he said
that SO long as Scotland sent the class of
men she had hitherto sent to this country the
doors of America, SO far as Scotchmen were
concerned, would swing on their hinges from
Maine to California. America was now,
more particular US regards immigration!
She did not intend to allow her people to be
contaminated by the leprosy OF Asia Or the
ofiscourings of Europe.
In the British house of commons, Mr..
Matthews, the home secretary, announced
the resignation OF Gen. Warren as chief of the
metropolitan police. The announcement was
greeted with cheers. Mr.. w. II. Smith, the
government leader, said that an extra esti-
mate would be presented to meet the ex.
penses Of the Parnell commission. He also
said that application had been made to the
Irish government for access to certain docu!
ments, and that leave to examine these docu-
ments would be granted to the counsel of
both the Times and the Parnellities under Ger.
tain conditions. :

Silver Dollars Missing.

Some irregularity has been discovered in
connection with the transfer of silver dollars
from the mint at New Orleans to Washing
ton for storage in the large new vault in the
court yard ofthe treasury building. which
has resulted in the loss of 81, 500. The loss
was discovered but did not become known
outside the departmentuntil later. Treasury
Officials refuse to speak of the matter, and
very little is known beyond the facts already
stated. The silver is shipped by the AdauE
Express company, and the loss viii probaB1
fall upon it unless it can be proved that the
packagescontaining the money were tempered
With before they zane into it's possession
The money is shipped in wooden boxes con-
tanning two canvas bags, with 5 1000 in
each bag. The boxes are carefully sealed be-
fore they leave the mint for delivery to the
express company, and are carefully guarded
from that time until their delivery at the
treasury department. They are therefore
under surveillance from the time thew
leave the mint until they are delivered
to the agents of the United States treasury.
The shipments average 100000 a day, and
the silver already placed in the vault amount
was brought from Philadelphia and New
Orleans, but mostly from the frst-named
city. The shipments from New Orleans
were begun only q few weeks ago, and it is
IN these that the discrepancies occurred. So
Tar as known, only two boxes were tam
pered With. In one OF them the entire con-
tents OF one ofthe bags, amounting to 81 600,
were removed andreplaced with bird shot. In
the other box, only about half the contents
OF one of the bags, or about $500, was taken.
and shot and pieces Of lead were substituted.
The robbery was not discovered until the
bags We're weighed at the treasury. The
scales weighing the silver overbalanced when
these bags We're placed on them, and a hur-
ried examination of their contents disclosed
the fraud which had been perpetrated. These
bags were parts of different consignments
and are believed to be all that have been
robbed. The agent of the express ompany
was at once notified, aud the treasurer re-
fused to accept the bags. A treasury oficiai
says that the loss SO lar does not exceed the
amount stated, and that the responsibility
for it rests entirely between the express con,
pany and the officials at New Orleans who
handled these particular boxes.

News Generaiities.

Considerable commotion has been caused
at Otter Creek, Montana, by a double elope;
ment. Two ranch owners daughters, aged
about eighteen and fourteen, respectively,
have fed with two young men who resided in
that locality. The sheriff is in pursuit of the
fugitives, who set out with two horses and
no baggage. They were last heard of at Will
son Creek, and are supposed to be On the
way to Benton.
The Mississippi Logging company and the
Chippewa Logging company, both with head.
quarters in Chippewa Falls, Wis, will con!
tinue their policy of curtailing the log cut on
the Chippewa. This is being done in order
that the river may be thoroughly cleared of
stranded logs and all the old stock which
has been accumulating for years may beused
up. The shortening of the cut will in no
way affect the cut of the mills next summer
1t will ave tendency to make the lumber
men more economical and avoid reckless
waste of valuable pine. In years past there
has been a wanton waste of pine, but now it
is becoming painfully apparent that unless
great care is exercised this region will be
swept of the pine forests in q very few years.
The cut for this winter will probably not ex-
coed 100000, 900 feet. About 100000, 900
feet of Did stock will be carried over. 1t has
been agreed by lumbermen operating on the
St. Croix and Black rivers to follow the ex-
ampls ofthe "pool' in regard to the cut.

The Yankton Disaster.

Thompson and jacob Lee, crushed in the
falling walls at tile insane asylum at Yank.
ton, Oak, says: " !
We find that c. N. Thompson and Jacob
Lee came to their deaths by the culpable
negligence of J.B. Pattee, contractor, and
D. II. Kean, superintendent, in constructing
the east wing, including the walls and arches
that fell Oct. %, OF the Dakota hospital for
the insane, in violation of the contract and
contrary to the plans and specifications.
Armed with the coroner's warrant the sher.
if proceeded to tn" insane asylum to-day and
arrested Pattee and Kean. The latter is not
yet able to be taken from the asylum, and
there held in custody. Pattee was brought
to town and arrajgned in q Justices court,
where he pleaded net guilty. Pattee and
Kean are both residents Of Canton, Oak.
The former has the contract to, build the two
wings to the asylum, and the latter repre-
sents the territory as superintendent of con-
struetion, appointed by the trustees. In
the finding of the coroner's jury it is recited:
Numerous iron binding rods and anchors.
provided in the specifications, were left out:
that the spring of the arches was reduced
from twenty-five to eleven inches; that in
ferior mortar and brick were used; that in
cempetent wprkmen were employed; that the
wooden forms under the arches were pre-
maturely removed, and that the building
was liable to fall down any time.
1t appears to&be o ease of gross incompe-
tency. The examination of the prisoners is
liable to last q week or two.

Tracking q Murderer.

The hopes Of the London police of catching
the Whitechapel murderer, which had almost
entirely died out, We're raised to the acme OF
buoyancy in consequence of the testimony az
the Kelly. inquest of George Hutchinson, q
groom, who had known the victim for some
years. and who saw her with a male compan-
ion shortly before 2 o'clock on the morning
OF the murder. Hutchinson testified that he
ne saw u We'll dressed man, with q Jewish cast
OF countenance, accost the woman on
on Friday morning, and the circum,
stance of his acouaintance with her
induced him to follow the pair as they
walked together. He looked straight into
the mans face as he turned to
the woman, and followed them to Miller
court out Of mere curiosity. He had no

tsmpiated violence, since his conspicuous
manifestations of affection for his COM

the couple entered the house hutchinson

About 3 o'clock the sounds ceased and he
walked into the court, but finding that the

that it will enable them to run him down.

Sad Scene ut the Mining Disaster,

As the cage came up from the fatal mine
shaft at Pittsburg, KAN, a shrek was heard
and Marie Berthune, wife of Louis Berthune,
fell senseless as she recognized the maDgled
remains of her husband. Her swoon was of
long duration and when she recovered she
had q dazed look and refused to speak or
notice any one. Her constant vacant stare
showed that her reason had gone but
as she evinced no disposition to become
violent little attention was paid to
her, and all day long she sat at her door
regardless of the cries of her five children, the
youngest babe FIVE months old. Late in the
evening she apparently aroused from her,
stupor and took her children to the inn
provised morgue where lay the body, of
her usband. She led each child up to the
CHASTITY corpse, and still that awful, silence
which had marked her from the beginning Of
her bereavement, led them away to the little
hut which had sheltered them in the past
No attention was paid to her. :
About midnight q cry Of fire from the villa

scattered it about the room, and soon the

Resolutions II Inc I. al

AT their session in Indianapolis, the
knights of Labor heard the reports of the
general officers and committees, There
are in the knights oil Labor between
ten and twelve thousand women, and
the number has reached 80, 900. These or-
carnations nre represented by Mrs. L. M.
Barry Of Philadelphia, general organizer and
lecturer, Mrs. A. p. Stevens Of Toledo and
Miss Mary Burke OF BelIaire. Ohio. "A ses-
sion Was almost entirely devoted to the re-
ports OF the treasurer, Frederick Turner, OF
the general investigator of woman work
utive board. The general treasurer gives
an itemized report Of the receipts and expen-
ditures for the year ending June 80, 1883,
and in q supplementary report up to Oct. 81,
1888, as follows:
The receipts in the first. from supplies, per
capital tax, Journal, charters, special defense
assessment, appeals, and miscellaneous, &
gregate 1922, 5O7.O9. The expenditures were
$222, 5O7 .O9. including $75,O19.11, dona-
lions; $49,S3O.67 in salaries; $23, OO5 .98 In
printing; $14,959,8O in mileage, and smaller
items for paper, hotels, railroad fares, badges
and buttons, expressage, etc. For the four
months covered in the supplementary re-
port the receipts were $50, 591.72, and the
expenditures $40, 926.63. In conclusion, Mr..
Turner says according to the receipts for
tax the membership has decreased about
three hundred thousand during the past fs-
cal year, and at the present time the receipts
are not sufficient to meet the necessary ex-
penses. In my opinion a reduction of $26,-
600 in the expenses can be accomplished With
out detriment to the ordsr.
