A Literary Scandal.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New York, Dec. ga great literary
scandal has been spread recently before
the public of Austria and Germany. A
writer hitherto regarded as third rate is
destroying the good name of the dead poet,
dramatist, novelist, and one of the most
popular German,writers of the day. Franz
Hedrich is claiming publicly that he
wrote three-fourths of the novels which
appeared over the name of Alfred
Meissner, his bosom friend and almost con-
slant companion for twenty-five years.
Robert Ayr, Meissner's brother-in-law,
who tried to refuth Hedrich's claim ad-
mits they are partially true and the fear of
exposure drove Meissner to suicide at the
height of his fame.
Alfred Meissner was born in Eplit,
Bohemia, in 1922, after finishing his educa-
ton he passed a wandering life in Austria,
Germany, England and France. He was
a prolific writer of poems, his dramas,
novels and sketches are widely read in
Austria and Germany. Four years ago
May 81, Meiesner cut his throat Quite re
Gently new editions of his complete works
were published. They had hardly appeared
when Hedrich laid before the public a
pamphlet entitled "Alfred Meissner-
Franz Hedrich,'' in which he tried to prove
that he wrote most of Meissner's best
known works and Meissner took the pro-

VICTORIA TO VISIT IRELAND.
She will Make Royal Progress next Summer
She may Also Publish Novel.

Especial to THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch. ]
LONDON, Dec. 23.-[By cable to the Nail
and Express. THE opening of parliament
by the Queen.in person is associated with
the expected announcement of her males
ty's intention to make visit of state to
Ireland and a progress of the country in
summer. The Queen has always hated
Ireland and during her long reign has never
yet paid this portion of her dominions the
compliment of visit. For this she has
often been criticized. 1t is Balfour's and
Salisbury's intention to remove this cause
of dissatisfaction even at the eleventh
hour The compliance of the Queen is GER
tainly very remarkable, considering her
continued obstinacy upon this point Her
sudden amiability towards her Irish sub
jects is construed as no little misgiving on
the part of the ministry, who are
beginning to look forward to
the political outlook with
considerable apprehension. But this is
not the only surprise her majesty has in
store. A new volume of journals is now
being prepared by Sir Theodore Martin.
1t contains an outline of anovel written by
the Queen and the selection of some
original verses from the same royal pen.
Some of these verses had been set to music
by the Prince Consort.
Lord Salisbury has notified the French
government that it must stop Frenchmen
catching and timing lobstors.. in New
foundland. M. kSpuller, French minister
of foreign affairs, has had an interview
with Lord Lytton, British minister to
France, in which he declared that the
French have always possessed the right to
fish for Holsters under the treaty of
Utrecht The contention of the English is
that the fishing rights granted the French
were limited to taking cod, and M.
Spuller said that this limit can
not be admitted by the French government.
Arbitration is suggested, but Lord Sails
burg will not admit that the question is a
proper one for arbitration and objects fatty

AN OLD INDIAN DEED.
The Breaking Of an Ancient Mirror Discloses
Long Lost but Important Document.


Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-Charles Roll, of
Newark accidently broke an old mirror
four weeks ago. 1t had been given to him
years ago by his grandfather The glass
was shivered to atoms. A yellow piece of
parchment was disclosed to view for the
first time in a century and more, as was
proved by the nature of the document. For
seventy five years Roll and his relatives
have been endeavoring to gain document
airy evidence with which they could lay
claim to a wide stretch of land in the Mo
hawk valley along the banks of the Mo
hawk river.
Mr. Roll knew that his Holland Dutch
ancestor, Jacob Roll, had owned a large
tract of land there which had been aban-
doned during the French-Indian wars. But
he never found any papers by which he
could fix the position of the land. The doc
ament which dropped from the mirror was
proof of that which the heirs of Jacob
Roll, of whom there are $50, have long
been seeking. Having found it they will
press their claim to property near Schen-
ectady, New York, valued at s6,00000O.
The piece of folded parchment was a
deed from the Indians to Jacob Roll, giving
Roll a clear title to tract four miles in
length along the Mohawk river, beginning
in the city of Schenectady, and running
back from the river nine miles The whole
town of Amsterdam is believed to be in
cluded in the Indian deed, as are also
valuable properties of the New York Cen
trial railroad. An Indian title or deed of
land is almost impossible to set aside in
New York state.

SLAVIN LICKS SMITH,
But the Cowardly Referee De-
clares the Fight a Draw.
THE AUSTRALIAN AND SULLIVAN
May Possibly Fight-The Pelican Club People
Are Much Disgusted-The West
End Scandals.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 23.-The fight between
Jem Smith, of England, and Frank Slavin,
the Australian champion, was fought this
morning in private grounds three miles
from Bruges. There was much squabbling
from the outset and owing to the outrag-
Gus conduct of Smiths party, at the con-
clusion of the fourteenth round, the referee
declared the fight draw and refused to
remain on the ground. Smiths party evil
IDENTIFY saw their man would be beaten and
broke into the ring and interfered with the
fair progress of the fight
Slavin forced the fighting at the start,
hitting Smith on the chest and head in the
first two rounds. The men fell together
and when Slavin rose he was bleeding
from the mouth.
In the third round Smith got home with
his right and left and in return was knock
ed down by Slavin.
The fourth round was marked by hard
fighting.
In the sixth, Slavin landed terrific blow
on one of Smiths eyes.
In the seventh, Smith fought Slavin to
the ropes, when crowd of Smiths friends
kicked Slavin, who, however, remained
silent
In the eighth, Slavin again knocked Smith
down.
In the ninth, the mob surrounding the
ring struck Slavin several times.
In the eleventh, Slavin again knocked
his opponent down.
In the thirteenth, Smiths friends again
struck Slavin, but their man was once more
knocked down.
In the fourteenth, Slavin protested
against the treatment he was receiving and
appealed to the referee for fair play. His
appeal was greeted with derision by
Smiths friends, who, shouting police"
bolted from the ground. Slavin remained
in the ring and Smith, who left when his
friends ran away, returned. The referee
then said it was impossible to secure fair
treatment for Slavin and declared the fight
draw. Slavin was full of fight to the
finish.

TARENTUM, Pa, Dec. 23.-Shortly after

the iewelry store of Paul Ruttert and were
in the act of carrying off all his valuable

BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The influenza epidemic
is now spread over every part of Germany.
The National Zeitung attacks Stanley's
statements in regard to Emin Pasha. 1t
says these statements seem to be made
with the intention of replying to the re
proach that ENNIS embarrassments were
caused in part by Stanley's appearance and
his determination to rescue one who did
not desire to be rescued; and that Emin
must be heard in his own defense before
conclusions are reached.

What Slayin Saws.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Slavin, the pugilist,
has arrived at Margate on his return from
his battle with Smith. There was good
deal of enthusiasm over him when he ar
rived, and he made speech, in which he
said he was a good deal more hurt by
roughs VINO INDUCED in ruffianly tactics com
mon with them, than by Smith in the fight.
Slavin's hackers assert that Smith never
hit Slavin and that he was hurt only by the
crowd which beat Slavin because they
were enraged at the defeat of Smith. Slavin
is now said to be ready to meet Sullivan or
any one and fight for the championship of
the world.
