INTERESTING DECISION.

Prospective !Absc0nslers.
The Chief Justice of the Province of
Quebec has Just made n decision which
attacks the rights of Americans who
abscond to Canada and may hereafter
cause considerable annoyance to finan-
cial gentlemen who feel called on to
move suddenly across the international
boundary line. The man Pitcher. who
took all the bonds and cash OF a Provi-
dence bank and fled with them TO Cam
ada, where he was arrested on his way
to England, was on trial on charge
of bringing stolen money into the coun-
try. The Chief Justice held that while
greenbacks were not a legal-tender in
Canada and hence did not have all the
attributes OF property, still American
gold coins were legal-tendcr and it
had been proven that some of those in
the possession of Pitcher when arrested
were stolen from the Providence bank.
So the jury went ahead and found
Pitcher guilty, and unless he gets new
trial or something else happens he may
have to spend fourteen years at hard
work in a Canadian penitcntiary.
Now il this decision is to be sustained
it behooves all bank presidents and
cashiers who think of going to Canada
and all runaways generally to study up
the laws of the Dominion and see what
can safely be taken there from the
United States. 1t becomes necessary
to find out what is a legal-tender the
other side OF the line and to keep watch
to see that there is no new legislation
on the subject. A bank clerk who
means to change his country must keep
as close an eye on the legislation at
Ottawa as at Washington. He will
also have to keep his cash in such shape
that in the hurry of departure he will
not slip in few English coins or Cana
dian bank bills, which are recognized
as property in the land of his adoption.
It will be best to stick close to green
backs and National bank notes and let
all metal currency alOne.-Chicdgo 7ri-

SUNSTROKE IN SIBERIA.

laughed at Russian officer in Omsk
who told me that the heat in the valley
of Irish was often so intense as to
cause nausea and fainting. and who ad.
vised me not 10 travel between eleven
o'clock in the morning and three o'clock
in the afternoon. when the day was
cloudless and hot. The idea of having
a sunstrcke in Siberia, and the sugges-
ton not to travel there in the middle
of the day. seemed to me SO preposter-
Gus that could not restrain a smile Of
amusement. He assured me, however,
that he was talking seriously, and that
he had seen soldiers unconscious for
hours after fit OF nausea and fainting,
brought on by marching in the sum
shine. He did not know sunstroke by
name, and seemed to think that the
symptoms which he described were pc
culiar effects Of the Irish valley heat,
but it was evidently sunstrOke that he
had seen.
At the station of the Voroninskaya.
in the middle OF this parched desert,
We were overtaken by furious hot
sand storm from the southwest. with a
temperature OF 1O3 degrees in the
shade. The sand and fine, hot dust
were carried to a height Of hundred
feet, and passed us in dense. suffOcating
clouds. hiding everything from sight
and making it almost impossible to
breathe. Although we were riding in
the storm, and not against it. ] literally
gasped for breath for more than two
hours; and when we arrived at the sta
ton of Cheremshanka ii would have
been hard to tell, from an inspection OF
our faces, whether We were kirghis or
Americans-blackm men or white. 1drank
nearly quart Of cold milk, and even
that did not fully assuage my fierce
thirst. Mr.. Frost, after washing the
dust out of his eyes and drinking seven
tumblers of milk, revived sufficiently to
say: If anybody thinks that it doesn't
get hot in Siberia, just refer him to
me!"
At the station Of Malo Krasnoyar-
skaya we left the Irish to the right and
saw it no more. Late that afternoon
we reached the first foothills Of the
great mountain range Of the Altai. and
began the long gradual climb to the
Altai station. Before dark on the fol-
lowing day we were riding through
cool. elevated Alpine meadows, where
the fresh green grass was intevmingled
with bluebells. from spires. gentians
and delicate fringed pinks. and where
the mountain tops over our heads were
white, q thousand feet down with fresh
ly fallen snow. The change from the
torrid African desert Of the Irish to
this superb Siberian Switzerland was 50

 LINIIrHaow, Scotland, June 26.-The de- spatches from MT. Blaine to- his friends in Chicago, telling them not to vote for him are genuine, and not forgeries as despatch from Chicago says that they were supposed to be. The arrival of the party at this iitle place was one of the most gorgeous trhhphs of the journey. A brass band and half the town walked three miles out on the road to meet the coach, and played and cheered back to the inn. There the Provost, magistrates and dignitartes generally were gathered to present an address to MT. Carnegie. The latter made speech it reply. Last night at the palace MT. Blaine was reminded of four years ago, when his journey ings caused brass bands and addresses to spring up at every turn and he must have felt funny to see brass bands for some one else. Mir. Blaine was informed of the nomination of Harrison in the Linlithgow palace, which he was visiting with his party after Carnegie's speech. He said nothing except: Its very good nomination" A Scotchman on whose arm he was leaning, said: Are you satisfied l Mir. Blaine?' and he replied; ''Yes, perfectly It is simply wonderful the interest Scotland | takes in Carnegie, who went away from here 8 penniless lad and now comes back driving 8 coach and four. Before the coach started | from Edinburgh this morning the approaches 1 to the hotel were crowded with a thousand eager Scotchmen, pushing each other about l in their struggles to obtain n good view. While the outside was crowded with Scotch l men eager to soe Carnegie, the inside was ! 6lled with travelling Americans waiting to get | glimpse of the pale face of the still greater l Blaine.

 and all marched off to the palace with all the

 called for speech from SenatorB Blaine, whom
 he alluded to as candidate for President of the
 United States, which was ratherSha con-
 sidering Blaine's denieals. Mir, Blaine would not make speech, but said, whatever he might be in America, here he was only 6 humble member of MT. Carnegie's party, and ho must be excused.

Where he has gone nobody knows, but wherever he is, it is believed that Mrs Joel E. Hall, of No 78 Flower street, is with him, as she has been missing from her home since Friday or Saturday, which it is impossible to learn, as her husband and the neighbors are very reticent about it. It is said, how ever, that Mrs Hall left note at her home this day, saying she would not return. Mrs Hall is dark complexioned woman of pleasant appearance and manners, and about 29 years old. Prof Waltenberg had been her instructor for some time, and it is believed the elopement had been under consideration many weeks.

Many special trains have de- parted for Indianapolis to see Harrison. The late inflated political excitement of the place lies as flat as collapsed balloon. Last night Editor Elliot F.
