LABoUCHERE DEFENDS ALEXANDER SULLIVAN.

LABUUCHEKE DEFENDS ALEXANDER SULLIVAN
London, June 1o.-Mr. Lsbouchere, writing in
"Tth' about the charges against Alex ander Sullivan
says that everything that "The Times" (Which has
an agent and banking account in Chnago) do TO
prejudice the public against Mr. Sullivan will be
effectively done; first because Mr. Sullivan advised
Patrick Egan respecting information sent to England
regarding the Panell forgeres and secondly, because
no selected Father Dornay convey the
the documents which smashed " The Times's' case.
Mr.. Labouchore says the assertion that Mr. Slliv
misappled funds intrusted TO him is known TO be
absolutely untrue. He thinks II probable that these
charges have been brought against Mr. Sullivan I'm
order TO compel tho production OF the books Of the
American League. Just the forgertes were published
in order to obtain an inquiry into the Irish Leagues
finances.

Der OF lives lost here is variously estimated
at from twenty to eighty. None of
these estimates Is based upon facts, being
merely suppositiOn founded on rumors

lost within radius of eight miles OF

is as follows: Pilot-boat Ebe w.

schooner J. T. Bryan, six; schooner
Snow, six; schooner Parker, seven;

A man forty seven years Of age, who lives IN

terday for the first time, getting over twenty

ST. Paul tram from the west ana tAs was his
first ride upon train Of cars. He was piioted
around by Michael Knrz, who generously at
tempted 10 anlighten the chap on tNngs in

kind OF lanterns those were" indicating the
electric are lamps. On being told what they
were he wanted 10 know what kind Of oil they
used Ia them. When Mr.. hurz attempted 70
good-naturedly explain how they were lighted
the fellow refused 10 believe 1t, insisting
that the cigar manufacturer was taking
advantage OF his ignorance, When
he saw the street-ear line he was
nearly paralyzsd and wanted TO know
what those iron" bars were laying in the
street for. On being informed he asked il the
streets weren't good enough 10 run the car
riages on. However when a street car came
along he was filled with wonderment and re-
marked that he didn't wonder they had TO
have the track when they pulled the wagons
with such little rats as those" The capitol
building and park were objects OF much in
terest on the part OF the conntry chap and he
wanted to know what they used that big
pasture" for. He was informed that the Gov
ernor kept Jersey cows and consequently the
State had TO furnish big pasture. lie had
heard something about the capitol building,
but was totally unprepared for pretentious
