SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Dec. deputy
United States Marshal Willis arrived
in this city late last night with George
w. Scott, of Pierce City, arrested on a
warrant for obtaining letter from the
mail by fraud and opening the same.
Scott is one of the most prominent citi-
zens of Pierce City, and his arrest Gre
ated a great sensation. The story is
full of interest and quite TO
mantle. Last June young Scott, who is
quite well Off, went to Bentonville, Ark,
and opened hotel. During the month
of July Miss May Broscombe, of Kansas
City, and her mother arrived there to
spend the summer. Miss Broscombe
is nineteen years of age, beautiful, fas-
cinating and an acknowledged society
belle of Kansas City. In two weeks
Scott had fallen victim to her charms
and married her. Then followed
wild amusements and the lavish use
of money. ending in bankruptcy. The
young wife was the center of attraction
at grand balls, suppers and carnivals.
A close attendant of Mrs. Scott was l..
j. Scnlck, Jr., Kansas City travelling
man. The husband expostulated in
vain. Finally he took his wife
to Pierce City. where they lived
quietly for a month or two.
Mrs. Scott, however, kept up a CORE
spondence with Schick, and one day
the husband, mad with jealousy, Sc
cured letter from the postoffice ad-
dressed by his wife to Mrs. Jennie Hen
dnrCnn (1itxy Ia II nd
found inclosed letter to Schick, expos
ing, tits alleged, "a conspiracy between his
wife and Schick to mulct him of his
property. He upbraided his wife. and
that night she left for Kansas City.
Schick is married. man with an inter
esting family. Young Scott's parents
are very rich, and he has already Sc
cured bail, ,ands it is said can have 81 ,OOO,-
600 to back him in his troubles. A writ
has been issued upon which his wife
will be brought to Springfield.

CHARGED TO THECHROhlCS
The So.Callsd Split in the G. A. r.
Greatly Exaggerated.
ENGINEERED BY SOREHEADS.
Indiana's Department Commander De-
n0unGes the New Movement and
Those Behind It.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1.-The So
called split in the Grand Army of the
Republic, which originated here, con.
tlnues an uppermost theme. in veteran
circles and with the local press.
That the movement has been
greatly exaggerated. by the Eastern
press is admitted on all sides
here. The organization of Demo-
cratic soldiers is so far less Importance
than it has been made to appear, and
charges that the reports regarding it are
based upon information emanatlng from
Adit. Gen. Koontz. Inquiries to-day
among Democrats who belong to the
G. A. r. demonstrates that very
pathy with the movement, and do
Koontz in saying that politics have been
introduced in the order. Maj. Irwin
Robins. one of the eX-commanders of
the Gen. Thomas post, who was prob
ably more prominent in organizing
Democratic soldiers during the cam
paign than any other man in the party,
is not member of the association
formed by AdJt.-Gen. Koontz, having
DECLINED TO JOIN IT.
There are many other Democratic eX-
soldiers of prominence who do not be-
long to the organization, among them
Gov. Gray, Col. Zollinger, Maj. Mitchell
and others. Maj. Mitchell, who is
prominent Democrat and prosecuting
attorney for this (Marion) county,
speaking of the matter this even
ing, said: ''As member of
the G. A. R., can say that
during all the time l have belonged TO
George II. Thomas post, politics never
at any time, in any shape, manner, or
form entered into the work of the post,
any more than politics may be intro
duced in church organizations. 1t can
not be made any more OF political Or
ganization than the order of Masons,
Odd Fellows, or Knights of Pythias."
Col. |. N. Walker, assistant adjutant
general of the &. A. R., department of
Indiana, makes the following pointed
statement: II want to enter protest
against the statements as interviews
published especially in the Eastern
press, about detection among
the comrades of the G. A. Il. in
this department. Nothing of the
kind has occurred, and the member
ship was never more united and enthuSi-
astic in the support of the order than
now. The handful of disappointed
CHRONIC oFFICE-SEEKERS
here that have succeeded in getting
themselves advertised throughout the
country have no standing, nor never
had, in the q. A. R., or out of it, for
that matter. The whole business has
been engineered by half dozen
chronics, and at no meeting have
they been able to secure the attendance
of fifty persons, and not to exceed
half these have eyer peen members of
the q. A. r. No Democrat of standing
or influence in this community, who is
a member of the G. A. r. can be found
opposing the order. On the contrary,
scores of comrades of that political faith
have personally and by letter de-
nounced the attempt of these small-fry
politicians. The Department OF lndi-
ana is all right"

Appointment OF Sir Henry Nor
man as Governor of Queens
land.
Special Cable TO the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Times is vic
lently opposed to the appointment of
Sir Henry Norman to be governor of
Queensland. Concerning his Sc
lection and its consequent effect
''the Thunderer" says: 1.-THE appoint
ment puts an end to the personal
asp ect OF the matter, but it does not re-
move the friction which had its begin
ming under the administration of Sir
Anthony Musgrave over the pardon of
a prisoner, which was finally granted by
the colonial Office direct. This fric-
ton will be continued over the case
of the crew of the ship Hopeful,
who were condemned for conspiracy and
slave dealing, in having procured
number of south sea islanders to work
Oh plantations for stipulated wages and
selling them into bondage. There was
a strong popular demand for the pardon
of these men, but Sir Anthony Mus
grave refused to grant it. He died
short time ago, leaving the matter open.
Sir Anthony'S SOn-in-law is at pres
ent in charge of the government of
Queensland, and there is no reason to
believe that either he or Sir Henry
Norman has any desire to settle the
matter. The Times believes that the
Queensland colonists are more than
ever anxious to secede from the empire
and questions the wisdom of continuing
to allow them the liberty they have
hitherto enjoyed.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The recent lecture
in Berlin by Maj. Liebert, of the gen.
eral staff of the Prussian army, respect
ing the German policy in Zanzibar,
verbatim report of which has now been
printed IN nearly all the leading En-
glish papers, confirms the misgivings
which were aroused by the news tn
Lord Salisbury had agreed to a policy
of cooperation. The policy, according
to Mai. Liebert, who is undoubtedly in
a position to know whereof he speaks,
is as follows: In the first place, salts
faction for the murder of German sub
jects and the destruction OF German
property was to be obtained, and the
punishment of the delinquentS to
be secured. To compass these ends
repriSals are to be executed on the ''re
belliouso inhabitants. The compensa-
ton is to be eXtorted, not from the IN
habitants, but from the sultan of ZanZi-
bar, and ''in the event of refusal an
adequate amount of customs is to be ap
propriated" This done force is to be
enlisted in India for the recOnquest of
the so-called German territory. In the
second place measures are to be devised
for the suppression of the slave trade.
No doubt Maj. Liebert'S views are not
expressed in the German communica-
tons to Lord Salisbury, which were
published the other day. But the Ger
mans have never, since they have had
a colonial policy, disclosed their inten
tions. They asked for English assist
ance to a person whom they de-
scribed as a mere scientific explorer
at time when that person had in his
pocket instructions to make haste to an
mex the Cameroons before the English
officer, who was known to be on his way
to that place, could arrive. Moreover,
the Germans have invariably repulsed
the policy of humanity which England
has sometimes pursued; and the German
government refused at the Congo con-
ference to agree to an article prohibit;
spirits into tropical Africa. The object
appears to be to force the sultan of Zan-
zibar into an attitude that will give the
German admiral an excuse for h0Stili-
ties which may end i'll the Germans be-
ing unfortunately. and to their great
regret, compelled to annex the islands" !"

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. IA slight
fall in the temperature in the burning
Calumet and Hecla mine tonight gives
ground for hope that the fire is burning
itself out. The mine will not be flooded.
but the flames will be smothered
and allowed to exhaust themselves. No
preparations are being made to send
down carbonlc gas, the fire being so
near the surface, and there is such a
strong draft upward in the burning
shaft that 1t is believed the flames will
die out in few days, though it may
continue for weeks. No clue has yet
been obtained as to the origin of the
fire. The theory has been advanced
that the wire skip rope in passing
swiftly over the rollers in the skipway
might have caused the fire by friction,
but such theory has been discarded by
the mine authorities, as the skipS ran
quite slowly that night. A rigid
examination has been made of all
the men working in that portion
of the mine, but nothing that would
throw any light upon the subject was
elected. No. 3 shaft being over 1900
feet from the burning Hecla shaft,
where the last fire occurred, and no
fire ever having crossed over to the
Calumet branch of the mine, this theory
is also untenable. The prevailing opin-
ion is that the fire was the work OF an

GEFFICKEN NEED NOT WORRY
1t Appears That in the Doctors
Case Bismarck Has Bitten Off
More Than He Can Masticate.

Special Cable to the Globe.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The trial of DR..
Gefficken, if it makes no progress in
fact-for the German government is ap-
parently in no hurry to decide the fate
of the unfortunate publlcist-has at
least had the effect of exciting large
portion of the German public. A pamph-
let published at Hanover by the we'll
known bookseller, MierZinsky, and pur-
porting to be from the pen of German
Judge, eXpoundS at great length the
law applicable 10 the case, the nature of
the proceedings and the political re-
suits which may in any case be expect
ed from the trial. 1t seems that it will
be necessary to prove not only that the
publication of Frederck'S diary cOnsti-
tuted publication of state secrets, and
that such publication was and is inju-
rious to the welfare of the German state,
but also that Dr.. Gefficken was fully
aware that the publication would be so
injurious. Furthermore, it appears
from this pamphlet that the ordinary
method of proof in such cases would, if
adopted. lead to the summoning of
Prince Bismarck as an expert to prove
by his statements on oath the danger to
the state resulting from the publica-
ton. 1t is believed in German con-
servative circles that the writer really
intends to convey an attack upon Prince
Bismarck, and that the form given to
the pamphlets due to an attempt to
avoid persecution for libel or treason,
or some other Of the various offences of
which all the chancellor's enemy are
guilty.

SUPPRESSION OF SLAVERY.
A Warm Discussion of Britain's
Foreign Policy by Able Parlia-
monfarianS

LONDON. Dec. 1.-The house of COM
mons went into committee of supply
this afternoon on the vote of e236.260
John Morley moved a nominal reduction
in order to raise discussion on the pro-
posal to send British troops to Suakim.
He denounced the governments policy
of shedding blood and wasting the
country's treasure in projects which
would result in no good to any human
being. The government ought either to
advise the Egyptian government to
abandon the situation. or England
ought to make more serious attempt
to suppress the slave trade and intro
duce civiliZing forces into the Soudan.
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary
secretary to the foreign office, replied
that the present government was
not responsible for the waste of treas
ure and blood in the Soudan. The ad-
vice sent to the Egyptian government
was to maintain a purely defensive
policy, with as small force as possible,
and to devote it's funds to internal de-
velopment of the country. But de-
fenslve policy did not imply the sur
render of Suakim. which would leaye
JIG COulltIy OPtIIuu Will AldDS.
In the surrender of Suakim the only
station would be given up from which
ships could operate on the Red sea
coast for the suppression of the slave
trade. Surely. said Sir James, Mr..
Morley did not suggest the absolute
abandonment of Suakim? Recurring
to the slave trade, the speaker said he
was able to intimate that the govern
ment had proposed to Belgium to initi
ate fresh references to the powers on
the lines indicated by Cardinal Lavig-
erie, with a view to mitigate the
evil. 1t was the policy of the gov
ernment to encourage commerce with
Central and East Africa. The develop
ment of commerce was the best method
of combating the slave traffic. If a
road was pushed into the interior so
that cheap and easy transportation was
available, the system of slave porterage
would no longer be profitable. He
trusted that the house would support a
work promising such blessings to
humanity. [Cheers.] Mr.. Morley's mo-
ton was rejected by q vote of 1856 to 1O1.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Dec. 1.-Miss Bo-
letta E. Hage, who has long been head
clerk in the revenue collectors office in
this city, has become a defaulter for
$500 and has left town. She disappeared
on Thursday, and on Friday her
brother. formerly deputy collector under
the Arthur administration, was horrlfled
to receive letter from his sister, mailed
in Philadelphia, in which she stated
that she had gone away to escape
trouble, She then went on to say that
she had taken $1,000 of the, govern,
ment's money, and that she had
lost the most of it in speculation. The
recent death of the internal revenue
collector would have necessltated the
examination of the books and expose
her, which probably caused her flight.
The peculations have been going on for
year. Her bondsmen made good the
amount to-day. The defalcation causes

"A Frightful Runaway.

Special to the Globe.
SAUK CENTER, Dec. IA serious ac-
cident occurred here this afternoon. 1t
was the runaway of the horse of B. j.
Woods. The carriage at the time con-
tanned Mr.. Woods. his sister, Edna
Woods, and Miss Lillian Knott. AS
they were going down Second street
the horse was frightened and became
unmanageable, and turned partly out
of the road, overturning and breaking
the buggy, and throwing the occupants
out. Miss Woods struck in such a pO-
sition on her back as to seriously injure
her spine, and it was thought for some
time that her back was broken. She
lay unconscious for several hours. and
when she was brought back to conscious
ness it was only to rave in delerium.
The physicians have decided that her
back is not broken, and some hope is
entertained of her recovery. Mr..
Woods and Miss Knott were also in
jured to some extent, but not so badly
as to be in any danger. The buggy was
completely demolished.
