 IS THERE ANY THUTH MN ITs Malicious islanders Cause a Sensation
 in New York Political Circles. NEW YORK, Jan. TIA sensation was caused in political circles to-day by the cir culation of reported interview printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, in which A. E. Bateman, the banker, who has just returned from a visit to General Harrison, is reported as declaring that Thomas c. Platt, few days before the presidential election, made a bargain with the Pacific railroads whereby he promised if Harrison was elected the ap- pointment of Secretary of the Interior to be elected by these railroads. The eompen- sation to Mr. Platt was to be S500,000. In the interview it is further asserted that the contract fell into the hands of Calvin S. Brice, and is still in his hands. Ths En- quirer correspondent concludes by saying that MT. Bateman and MT. Hummer went to Indianapolis last week for the purpose of telling General Harrison about Mr. Platt'e alleged scheme and thereby defeating his aspirations for cabinet office. As result of the Enquirer's interview the following correspondence passed between Messrs. Platt and Batenan to-day:

IEAVENWORTH HAPPENINGS.

LEAVENwORTH, Kan, June lbs. f.
Burdette, of this city, grand secretary of
the order of Odd Fellows Of Kansas, has
up to date received from the various
lodges the sum of S503. As for the benefit of
the Johnstown sufferers.
Sheriff Worster, of Lyon comfy, took
Mrs. Matte Brown to her former home to-
day. The lady has been stopping at the
Planters house for some time, and her
conduct has been such as to lead to the
belief that she was of unsound mind
She was taken before the probate Judge
today, but upon Sheriff Worster repre-
senting that he was ready to take charge
OF her she was discharged. 1t is reported
that Mrs. Brown is the second wife of
wealthy Lyons county man, now deceased.
Prior to his death he made will, leaving
the bulk of his property to Mrs. Brown.
Children by former wife contested the
will, and according to Sheriff Worster,
made affairs unpleasantly lively for the
widow, which resulted in temporarily de-
ranging her mind.
During the session of the state lodge of
Knights of Pythias in this city the police
raided the Singer Society and seized
quantity of beer The case was dismissed
in tho police court today; there not being
sufficient evidence to convict.
The police raided the store of Bouisse,
on South Fourth street, this afternoon and
seized four kegs of beer together with
other intoxicating liquors.

RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR.

VIENNA, June 1.-THE Pestner Lloyd
says: 1.-The German displeasure at the
Cars toast is greater than the press
showed. AS no power intends to attack
Russia, the steady increase of Russia's
ornaments must be for offensive purposes.
Nobody Is likely to furnish an overt foe
with means to injure ones self; there
fore Russian financial operations in Berlin
NAV be regarded as ended Germany has
apparently decided to be foe to foe and
a friend to friend, in financial as well
as political matters"
The New Erie Presse, in an article at
tacking NJ. Ristics, one of the Servian re-
gents, declares that his coquetting with
Russia, after the cars recent thrust to
the Prince of Montenegro, is treason
against the present Servian dynasty, be-
cause the car favors Prince Nicholas or
Prince karageorgevics.
The Fremdenblatt says: mo power will
remain an onlooker should the Servlan
liberals attempt to execute their bombastlc
program. All attempts TO jeopardiZe the
situation will be met with strong meas
ures. The powers will not allow guaran-
tees of peace to be made plaything of
political caprice"
A sensation has been caused here by the
announcement that the NOuvele Revue
will shortly publish a letter purporting to
be from the Prince of Wales to King Leo
pold, in which the prince states THAT En-
peror Williams body Is seriously attacked
by disease; that he cannot get sleep save
what drugs procure for him; that he suf-
iers from intense headaches, compelling
him to resort to morphine, and that he
easily loses his temper. The letter con-
tinues. II shall never forget nor forgive
his treatment of me on the occasion of the
funeral of his father, nor the insults print
ed in the Reichsanzeiger."

CUTTING CORN RATES

CHICAGO, June ia morning paper
prints the following: "The Lehigh Valley
has taken 1000, 900 bushels of corn for ship
ment to New York at 61S cents a bushel,
by lake and rail This is said to be the
largest lump amount ever taken by lake
and rail line. The rate given is clear
drop of II cents bushel over the tariff
rates of the lake and rail lines, and is
within Is of cent of the lake and canal
rate. A good deal of the grain is in
transit on wild boats The cut
IN the rate from Buffalo is the startling
feature of the transaction, and shows
that the Lehigh Valley IS on the warpath.
Coming just at this juncture when canal
boats are awaiting at Buffalo by hundreds
for loads, it will have a disastrous effect
on the Canal Forwarders' association.
which thus far this season has held canal
rates firm from the outset, notwithstand-
ing the light demand for boats A COL
lapse of the canal boat pool is likely to
follow. Yesterday the other lake rail
lines made no effort 10 meet the Lehigh
Valleys cut and. as a consequence. got no
corn whatever for New York Il is prob
able today Will see a change in this condi-
tlon OF affairs.

TOO MANY MOTHERS.
Sensational Court Proceedings Over Pos
session of Child.

CINCINNATI, o., June ia sensational
scene was enacred this morning in Judge
Outcal's court. He has had in hearing
and under consideration for several months
an unusual habeas corpus where two
women claim to be the mother Of the
child for whom the writ was offered. Miss
Katie Schaller averred that she gave birth
TO an illegitimate child and placed 1t in
the hands Of Mrs. Humbser, the midwife,
to dispose of and that Mrs. Humbser
placed it in the family Of Mr.. w. j.
White to be adopted. Subsequently Miss
Schaller wished to recover possession OF
her child and applied to Mrs. White when
that lady informed her that the baby she
had was not an adopted child but was her
own. The testimony before the court was
most conflicting but Mr.. and Mrs. White
brought many witnesses that the disputed
child was theirs. They have had it in
charge during the trial. Today the judge
was to render the decision but Mrs.
White appeared in court without the child.
When asked by the court where it
was, Mrs. White in deliberate manner
said, Judge, was submitted to close ex-
animation the other day, and understood
you would render an adverse decision to
me, and I have protected my child. l
know the consequences, and / am here to
abide by them, and if 1 have to stay in
prison ten years, L am satisfied, if at the
end of that time have my darling"
This reply, of course made sensation
Her attorney promptly disclaimed advis-
ing this course of action and asked that
his client have time to reflect. The court
said that if Mrs. White did not produce
the child she must suffer the consequences
of contempt of court, and he allowed her
till noon to consider. The resolute mother
for two hours was urged by her attorney
and friends to produce the child, but at
the end of the time she remained firm, and
went bravely to Jail under sentence Of the
court for contempt. Meantime, the Judge
withholds his decision of the:merits Of the
case,

SABIN EXONERATED.
A Friend Ct his Divorced Wife Praises His
Course in the Case

NEW YORK, June Is. - Prompted by
statements that the wife OF Senator u. NJ.
Sabin, of Minnesota, was thrown into an
insane asylum and detained there against
her will while a divorce was obtained, and
without the knowledge of her relatives"
Mr.. E. c. Tayntor, of 239 Broadway, New
York city, has prepared this statement:
Before marriage Mrs. Sabin was a
member of the family of DR.. Hutchins, OF
Danielsonville, Conn. am son-in-law
of DR.. Hutchins and have acted as the
next friend OF Mrs Sabin in this matter.
Reports casting discredit on Senator Sabln
were 80 far from true that they
were intolerable even to the friends
of the lady. Mrs. Ssbin had herself made
written application to be admitted for
treatment at the institution at Flushing.
Long Island, where she now is She did
SO because it was the last thing, and she
did it after consultation with her friends
and took the step freely and without COM
pulsion on the part of Senator Sabin, or IN
fact of any one. l accompanied her there
and placed her in the doctors care, and
have since frequently called upon her
there. She has entire liberty of action
to come and go, to receive her friends and
to communicate with them, which she con-
tinually does.
pressed her desire to remain there as long
as possible, and afterwards wrote to me
asking me to use my influence with the
senator to provide for her continued treat
ment there. This Senator Sabin willingly
did when asked, regardless of the great
expense incurred. In fact there has been
no disposition on the part of Senator Sabin
to withhold anything that would contri-
butte to Mrs. Sabin's comfort or welfare.
Everything requested or suggested by Mrs:
Sabin or myself or any other of
her relatives and friends has
been freely done and satisfactory
provision has been made for her future
support by Senator Sabin. Mrs. Sabin and
her friends have been fully aware of the
divorce suit from the beginning to the end
and have been at all times free to oppose
the suit if she or they had so desired. Her
friends and relatives acknowledge that
Senator Sabin has acted generously by her
in his provisions for her future conf .
and they consider that his conduct in the
whole matter has been all that could be
expected under the melancholy circum
stances Of the case"

XII RAIN IN FINE SHAPE.

NEW YORK, June 15-Madison Square
Garden, the scene of many flstic encounters
| within the past fifteen years, contained
about 1000 people last night, when the
pick of the fistic talent now in the vicinity
of New York donned the gloves and spar
red for the benefit Of the Jamestown suf-
ferers, their efforts increasing the general
fund between 81, 500 and $1,000.
The stars of the evening were Jake
Kilrain, who is matched to fight John
l.. Sullivan within 200 miles of New
Orleans on July for $4,000 and
Charlie Mitchell, whose memory must
have gone back some six years ago when
he encountered John L. Sullivan on al
most the same spot on which the 22-foot
ring was built tonight. They had come
all the way from Baltimore to offer their
services, and when Mitchell led the way
through the ropes at 7:30 o'clock they We're
received with hearty round of cheers.
Pat Sheedy, most graceful master OF
ceremonies. introduced Kilrain as ''the
champion Of the world" the announce
ment being received with mingled cheers
and Kisses Mitchell was presented as
''the boxing champion of England" Kill
rain was pale but trained down and al
most ready to fight for the championship.
He mad scarcely any stomach and the re-
ports sent out some few days ago that
better be taken with grain of salt The
Baltimore man will be in the pink Of con-
dition within two weeks time and John l..
Sullivan will do well to put in his best
ticks between now and July 2, on which
date he will leave for New Orleans, II he
expects to win the battle.
There was little difference in size
between Kilrain and Mitchell as they
squared off at the Call of time, this fact in
dicating how industriously Kilrain must
have labored for the past month in getting
into trim. Both wore white tights and
black leather boxing shoes. Their bout
was most interesting, each letting go with
will and expressions of surprise were
frequent at the lively way in which Kill
rain landed right and left. Mitchell was
quite fat, but not whit slower than of
yore, showing that he is still
one of the cleverest boxers that
ever donued the gloves. 1t was right and
left, give and take, and the audience
howled its approval.
The last round was very warm, and at
its close while Mitchell was considerably
blown, the perspiration rolling in beads
down his face and throat, Kilrain was en-:
tirely fresh. another proof that he has
been looking after his breathing apparat-
US since he landed from England. At the
conclusion of the bout the opinion was al
most unanimous that Sullivan will have
to be himself on the day of the fight if he
wants to win.

AN INCIDENT ORGAN.


When the liver is indolent, as it must
necessarily be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the

to activity impaired by this Incompatible
Alternative speedily evinces itself In q de-
