From Foreign Lands.

During the performance of "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" at the opera at Berlin,
Princess Adalbert of Bavaria was seized with
q violent attack of hysteria, and had to be
removed. She has since become worse. 1t is
believed hat she is insane. After the princess
had been taken from the theater the play was
resumed.
Some anxiety has been o ccasioned at Pan
am by the crisis through which the Panama
Can al company has been passing recently.
Seri ous alarm, however, has not been felt,
the faith in the ultimate successful issue of
the enterprise being great. Work still con-
tinues steadily on the canal, the various con-
tractors have promptly paid off up to date
and everybody seems cheerful and unaffected.
Apart from the inevitable indulgence in talk
moro or less wild by uniformed and ire
is to be found in the money market, where
the premium on gold and foreign notes has
advanced from A to 60 per cent.
In La Nacional, the most representative
newspaper of Central America, which appears
in San Domingo, is q letter from Fl. c. Asst
wood, United States consul, to Sir Figuero,
minister of the interior in San Domingo.
The letter sounds so incredible that only the
serious character of the paper n the docu-
ments printed therein are guarantees for its
truth: The letter says in part: N H; M.
requested me to ask the Dominican govern
ment whether the bones of the immortal
Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of
America, and a permit for the exhibition OF
them could be obtained of them from the
government. The interest which the people
in America take in their history is SO intense
that the presence of Columbus remains in
the larger cities would create enough curiosi-
ty to well the treasury of the Dominican
republic to o decree unprecedented in it's his
tory" to this letter Minister Figuero wrote
an indignant reply in which the offer was per.
emptorily declined. La Nacional and other
Spanish-American newspapers treat the affair
in the same indignant tenor, and ask that
Secretary Bayard recall Mr.. Astwood.

made preparations. for fight. He
blackened up as a negro, and secreting the
money in old stockings threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom Of one Of THE

chase. At night, when he Thought the Wig

pressman that he Intended to peat his way

poorto pay his railroad fare. The express

expressman, the check for the trunk was in
the possession of Vines accomplish. Vines
and the trunk went on board the train, and
the embezzler and his $40, 900 were treated
over a hundred miles. That was as long as
the embezzler could stand it. The air was
sitting and he had been tumbled over and
over until he was sore in every joint. On
making an cutlery he was released by the
baggage man. They did not put him off the
train, but sympathizing with his plea of pow
erty, allowed him to travel the remainder of
the journey in a passenger cur. The trunk
was carelessly closed by the trainmen, and
it's contents left undisturbed. At st. Louis
the trunk could not be obtained by Vines
without the check, and his confederate did
not put in an appearance. Considerable pity
was expressed by the depot men for Vines,
and a small collection was taken up to buy
him a dinner and supper, His strange story
reached the ears Of the police and aroused
their suspicious. Vines description had been
received from the Chicago authorities and q
reading oft resulted in the dispatch of an
of6cert to arrest the fugitive. Vines was TAX
en- into custody while begging the baggage
master to disregard the usual regulation
about checks and give up the trunk.

The New Indian Bill.

Messrs. Nelson. Peel and Perkins, the sub.
committee of the house committee on Indian
affairs having in charge the appropriation
bill. have finished their work and the bill is
in the hands of the printer. Certain Claims
which may be added to the bill after it is
placed in the hands of the full committee may
swell the present total of the bill, which ia
about the same as last years act. Very few
changes in the existing condition of things
are made, the bill being closely confined to
appropriations for the support of theindians,
One of the few changes provides
adequate support for Catholic
indian school for the White Earth
one hundred Indian pupils at $3.50 per year
each, Heretofore this school has been sup.
ported In part by contributions from the gem
eral fund which is supplied the commissioners
OF Indian affairs each year. Provision is al

st. Johns school and St. Vincent academy
as last year. Changes are made in the adj
~ by authorizing the commissioner of In

ing and blankets which will be used as the
department standard for this work. Ordin.

Saved by Her Lover.

The mountain sections of North Carolina
have recently become infested with numbers
of Mormon missionaries who have gone
there and are institutiag an open system of
prosylyting among people of that section.
They rave already made a number of con-
verts to their faith whom they induce to &c
company them to. Utah, and several delega-
tons have already left for the Mormon
state. A short time ago four elders, having
gained many converts, left with o party
from Rutherford ant other coun-
ties for Utah. These mission
aries intensely appreciate the beauty of
women, and an attractive woman is worth
a premium in Utah. They converted Miss
McCurry, and desired her to accompany her
parents who were going to polygamous Utah.
But love had previously thrown around her
the witchery of its charms n she was en-
gagged to a rustic swain. Her graceful figure,
her ~facinating eyes, formed a picture of phys
ical perfection, and Mormons guarded her
az a precious prize for some rich Mormon.
Her lover pleaded in vain to marry his be-
trothed, but her parents and the Mormons
refused. On the night previous to their de-
parture on the train, the ~resolute lover, with
shotguns, collected q group of young men,
charged the guard and captured his impris-
oned and beautiful sweetheart, whom he
soon made his bride. The angry father fol-
lowed In vain pursuit and left next day. with.
out his daughter. The people of the western
section of the state are in a high state OF ex.
element and Indignation ut the ~high-handed
measures of the Mormons, and the prosely-
ting elder was a few days ago expelled from
Davies county, on pain of being tarred and
feathered If he remained.

SURPRISING Mexican Priests.

A Herald dispatch from Ell Paso, Tex,
says: lei Paso is greatly excited over the
details of the news that has just been received
of the great clerical rising in the City of
Mexico, and the utter and bloody
defeat of the ciericals. 1t seems,
Father Jose Casper, a well known priest,
hurried to the national place and asked i'm
mediate and secret conference with President
Diaz. What he disclosed is not known, but
q few minutes afterward warrants of arrest
were made out for q large number of promi-
nent people, but when the officers went after
them not one Of them could be found. At
IL O'Clock that night an immense mob at.
tackled the national palace Joined and rein
forced by the garriaon of at least three
barracks and some parks of artillery. The
conflict was fierce and bloody, but the gov
eminent held it's own and gained the victory.
Three generals and several high officers were
killed. The government took over two thou
sand prisoners at the fighting, Seventy-two
priests were among the slain, whichnumbered
during the first onslaught $50. Next day
200 priests were arrested and ordered shot,
among them the archbishop. A number OF
women got petitions to have them reprieved,
but it is not thought that they met with sue
cess. Great excitement prevails in Chihuahua,
where Gov. Laura Garlic called at once the
state legislature together and all priests to
be arrested. 1t seems to have been the last
effort of the clerical party against the govern
ment.

graceful curl of fire, many feet in height and

the building collapsed, and there was nothing

0remen came to their assistance, and all the
occupants were safely rescued.

were valued at about 5000, 600. The origin
Of the fire Is not yet known. L.,5

Since the issue of clothing to the Indians

clothing will be necessary to their comfort,
when complaints will be sent out from the
agencies censuring the government for it's
