WICHITA, Kans., July 3d.. 7.
Browns physicians yesterday allowed
Sheriff Hayes to call on their patient
for a statement. The sheriff inquired
if he disappeared of hisown will, when
the answer came quickly: II did not

forced to go, but / cannot remember.

sheriff said a ranchman living twenty
miles southwest, who called on Brown
yesterday, says Brown was at his house
on the 18th inst. and asked for some
thing to eat and was given food. He
then asked the way to Wichita. He
tried to engage him in conversation
but could not. He thought Brown
was crazy. Word comes from Balm
vile, two miles south of this ranch,
that Brown was there ON the 18th inst.
and slept in wagon OH the street that
night. Browns physicians say il is
barely possible that on improving he
will be able to give better idea of the

WAsHINGTON, July 3I.-Inquiry at
the department of state this morning
was met by the statement that there
was absolutely no information there
respecting the seizures of the Triumph
and Black Diamond by the revenue
cutter Rush, for sealing in the BehriDg
sea, except that contained in the Assoc
ciated press on the subject. In con-
versation with a prominent official, he
said that whatever might have been
the policy and feeling of the last adj
ministration, it was evident the pres
ent administration did not look with
disfavOr upon the seizure of British or
other vessels suspected of poaching
upon tho United States seal fishing
grounds. AS to the report that an I'M
Outstanding existed by which the
British government was not to take
notice of such seizures, he knew
nothing. If any such understanding
existed he was not aware of it. The
case of the seizure and search of the
Triumph, which was afterwards re-
leased because no seal skins were
found on board. the official intimated
might be a more serious matter than
the seizure and detention of the Black
Diamond, for it involved the right of
the United States to seize and search
suspected vessls outside of what it
conceded to be the limits of the juris-
dictiOn of the United States.

soon as definite statement of the
firms affairs can be prepared by the

DRY at North BroOkfield is one of the
largest and best equipped in the coun-
try and gives employment to l LOO
hands calling for weekly pay roll of
$4,000. This is the only industry of
the town and the failure will be a
heavy blow. This was one of the ten
firms of Worcester county that had a
long contest with Knights of Labor
in 1887, lasting some five months, and
this struggle which resulted in favor
of the manufacturers was very expen-
siVe and has undoubtedly contributed
directly or Indirectly to the present
embarrassment. The immediate cause
of the large losses made by A. H.
Bachelor outside of the business and
the fact that the recent large failures
in the leather trade followed by the
Lewis Bros. failure added to the ill
health of the seniormember of the firm
have rendered it difficult to obtain
money on the firm g commercial papers
1t is undoubtedly true that the man
ufactur ing business of the firm has
been profitable and this makes it likely
that the business will be established
under some arrangement with the firm
and its creditors.

Secluded I'm a Convent.


NEW YORK, July 29.-Madame Dis
Debar has for the present at least, dis
appeared from the public gaze, and
will seek within converts walls, a
refuge from the cares and troubles of a
"spook" priestess's life. For about
six weeks she has been living at 1873
WaveSly place, where she rented the
ground floor from woman whom she
introduced to every one as Mrs. Parker.
Here she made occasional small sums
by giving sittingS and selling pictures
painted by spirit hands. With her ex-
travagant tastes, however, the few
dollars that she received in that way
were entirely insufficient to supply her
wants. so about ten days ago she
moved to p West Thirty first street,
in which fashionable neighborhood
she hoped to draw more nu-
numerous and liberal patrons. 1t
seemed, however, that the public had
grown tired of her and her spirit man.
ifestations, and she did little or no
business, and last Thursday was COM
PEELED to leave the house. She did
not pay the rent, not having the
wherewithal to do SO, and she is not
remembered with the kindliest of
feelings by her landlord. She returned
to her home in Waverly place, but
some admirer had given her several
bottles of wine and, although she had
hitherto not been lover of strong
drink, her load of trouble drove her to
seek forgetfulness in the wine. Her
actions of late had not been of the
most gentle and amiable kind anyway,
and with the added stimulus of her
rotations she became so untractable
that Mrs. Parker's son grew tired of
her treatment of his mother and made
heTleave the house.
Some friend, hearing of the woman S
plight. took her to a Brooklyn convent,
where she will be cared for as long
as she chooses to stay. Only a
few people know to what convent she
has been taken, and they refuse to say
which one, as their object in sending
her there was to give her retreat
from the public. She is Roman Cath
Ole, and has always protested the
strongest faith in her religion. She
said that it was by means of this and a
cross which she always had with her
that she was able to command the in
habitants of the spirit world.
Mrs. Parker said yesterday that she
believed that Madame Dis DeBar was
insane from being ''hOunded by the
press and the public" The madame
had her faults" continued she: "she
was eXtravagant and borrowed money
that she could never pay, and then she
lied terribly but she certainly was a
remarkable woman. Lately there has
been no getting along with her and
sometimes she was worse than others.
The truth of the matter is she is out
of her mind and in taking her to con-
vent her friends did the best thing
possible for her,

CHICAGO, July 26.-Mayor Cregier,
Congressman LAWYER and other MEM
bers of the relief committee left here
this morning with 1000 tons of pro-
visions and supplies for the starvi ng
lockout coal miners of Spring Valley.
Ill. There are about 2 600 idle miners
in the district making with their fam
lilies about 6 900. The arrival of the
train there this afternoon was greeted
with great demonstrations of joy and
the committee was greeted with the
strains of an improvised band. Ev-
eryway there were evidences of the
most pinching poverty and restitution.
Men, women and children were most
scantily clad in the cheapest of materi-
OILS and there was a great doarth offO0t
gear among them. Their faces bore
unmistakable evidence of hunger.
These people have been locked ont
nearly three months and are ABSOLUTELY
on the verge of starvation.

Washington, July 26 - Assistant
Secretary Bussey has modified former
decision made by the commissioner OF
pensions in the case of James Furley,
who received disabling injury while
serving in the Mexican war in compa-
ny g. Second Pennsylvania volunteers.
For this injury Furley was granted q
pension of IS per month which he con-
tinued to draw until April 10, 1888,
when he was arrested at Hagerstown.
Md, hurrahing in the streets for JEFF
Davis and the southern eonfederacy
and making use of other disIoyal and
reasonable sentiments. at that time
his name was dropped from the PEN
sion rolls under the authority con-
ferred by the act of February 3. 1882.
In 1871 an application for restoration
was filed and rejected. In 1887, how
ever, the case was taken up by the
the then commissioner OF pensions ana
Furleys's loyalty having been estab-
lished the pension was allowed from
1871, the date of filing his application.
Assistant Secretary BuSseY. while
agreeing with the former commissioner
as Furley's right to a pension finds no
authority for dating it from the time
the application was filed and directs
that it be dated from April 10, 1858
when it ceased. He says in subStan CO
that if the action of dropping Furley's
name from the roll was erroneous then
he is entitled to reparatiOn and the re-
paration must be as ample as the in
jury. If it was not erroneous there can
be no restoration of pension for any
period.

Elan and General Wilcox served in

LONDON July 29.-The house of
commons sitting IN committee of the
whole resumed the debate on royal
grants bill to-day
Mr.. John Morley novel an amend
ment declaring that the house is I'M
willing to increase the burdens of the
people without assurance that no fur
ther claims will be asked by the younger
members of the royal family. He de
MED that he opposed the grants be-
cause he dare not openly attack the
crown. He opposed them he said be-
cause the parliament had i'll no degree
failed to comply with any provision of
the act of 1887. The government had
not made out their case either in the
select committee or in parliament.
Parliament already provided for all the
queens children. He especially OBJ
jected to the assertion of the claim of
grants for the grand children of the
queen.
Lord HarlingtOn,s speech OH Friday
indicated that IS was the Intention to
preserve that right for future use and
it was proposed to restrict there claims
to the children of the heir apparent,
not to open them to the grandchildren
of the sovereign severally. He moved
the amendment in order TO prevent the
reassertion and reafIirmation of claim
the Justice of which he denied.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that Morley
objected to grants because no finality
was promised but as regarded the pres
ent reign the proposed grants were alb
Solutely final. He did not think that
after the queens promise any ministsr
would ask for further grants. 1t was
argued that there was no security to
such grants in the event of new reign,
but general declaration against them
would be worthless, as the whole
question must be decided when the
civil list was discussed. Mr.. Cham
berlain denied that Mr.. Labouchere
and his colleagues represented the peo-
pie. They only represented small
minority. They did their utmost to
stimulate the popular prejudices to
which they truckled. 1t was shameful
but it was still more shameful to
truckle to the multitude. The mem
bers who were doing so, were nothing
less than the Nihilists of English poll
tics loud Conservative cheers and Rad
ical groans.)

KANSAS CITY, July 30.-Andrew c.
Drumm, who has full charge of the
cattle commission business of A.
Drumm & Co., at the stock yards, has
disappeared, and his accounts are re-
ported to be short to the amount of
$15, 600, with a possibility that the
amount may reach 1000 or SAC, 900
The firm was organized some thing over
a year ago. Andrew Drumm, the head
of the concern, is one of the Oldest and
best known cattlemen in the west.
Andrew C.Drumm, the missing man, is
his nephew. The books have not been
balancing for some time, but it was not
thought that this was the result of any
shortage in the funds. Saturday when
young Drumm had finished his dinner
ne announced that he was
going away for time. He has not
been seen OF heard of since he left
the house. He has been living at 1901
Oak street. His mysterious departure
aroused suspicion, and yesterday the
company's books were placed in the
hands of expert accountants, result
ing in the unearthing of the shortage.
The examination of the books is still
in progress.

Ruling orthe Live STOCK Commission.

CHICAGO, July so. = The illinois
State Live Stock commission has made
new ruling with regard to the yard
ing of Texas cattle at the stock yards.
Hitherto the law has been construed to
require that all Texas cattle arriving in
Chicago shall be yarded together, and
separate from other cattle that had the
Texas fever and cattle that were
sound and healthy. Now, however,
the commission has construed the
state law to refer only to cattle from
infected districts of the southwest and
among them at East st. Louis and
Kansas City, whose duty it shall be to
certify to the authorities here concern
ing all cattle that pass through these
places, whether or not they are from
infected districts and they are then to
be treated here accordingly. Here
after the stock yards will have no
jurisdiction of these cattle and if they
are not certified to by the inspectors to
be loaded outside of infected districts
will still be yarded with cattle from
that district

Texas Fever PLAYING Havoc.

WINFIELD, Kan, July 30.-Cattle
men from the Indian Territory report
that Texas fever is playing havoc
among the cattle in the territory over
forty head were seen dead IN one pas

that hundreds of cattle were dying in
Oklahoma and predicted that there
would not be living head of the cat
tie imported into that country from the
states of Kansas and Nebraska in two
months. The fatality among cattle in
Oklahoma is not caused so much from
Texas fever as from the effect the more
southern climate has on them. Reports
from Guthrie, Oklahoma City, and
other points in the territory verify the
statement.

WASHINGTON, July SO.-Inquiry was
made at the state department to-day
whether or not any action would be
taken upon the report from Dublin
that the letter written by President
Harrison to Lord Mayor Sexton of that
city, acknowledging the receipt of a
message conveying resolutions of SYM
pathy with the sufferers by the Johns
town flood, had been opened in transit.
One of the officials said it was not
probable that any action would be
taken unless the matter was brought
to the attention of the department
officially, which had not been done. 1t
often happened that seals were broken
in transit, and it might be that an ac-
cident had caused the suspicion of
tampering in this case.

The Royal Grants.


LONDON, July 26.-When the debate
on the royal grants was resumed in the
house of commons to-day, Mr.. Brad
laugh said he found difficulty in dis
cussing the question calmly when Mr..
Balfour outside of the house denounced
the objections as disgusting. The OPP
ponents of the grants meant nothing
personally discourteous of the mem
bers of the royal family, but were sim
ply acting within their rights when
they met the demands of the crown on
a question of finance with direct neg
alive. Much Of the argument in favor
of grants was based on the erroneous
idea that the crown under the civil list
acts from George I. UPWARDS surren-
for a civil list. Neither George /. or
his successor, Mr.. Bradlaugh declared
surrendered anything. The present
royal family never surrendered any
thing of farthing value to the coun-
try. The committee Of inquiry had ell
icited the fact that during the present
reign the savings upon certain classes
under the civil list act. instead of be-
ing applied to defray the charges of
other classes had been handed to the
queen without the authority of parli-
| ment and in breach of the statute.
w. III. Smith the government leader.
denied that the alleged savings Of the
queen were over 5000, 600 pounds, but
| he refused to show what had been
| saved by the queen OF drawn by other
members of the royal family from all
| sources.
Mr.. Labouchere SAID there ought to
be nothing to conceal; the fact of con-
| cealment aggravated ideas. The refusal
the the government to disclose the
Of wealth of the royal family led the
country to object to the royal grants.
| Lord Randolph Churchill said tie
legal demands of the government were
| just besides being in conformity with
precedent. If the burdens were thrown
upon the crown not intended under
the civil list,i would impair the credit
of the nation and of parliament.
MIR. Bradlaugh had questioned the
title of the crown to its estimates, but
successive parliaments had recognized
and none of the greatest lawyers had
ever yet challenged the crown title
He reminded them that Sir Henry
Ponsonby, her majesty's private secre
tary, few years ago denied the re-
ports that the queen was making i'm
mense investments in ground rents
and stated that she had not 81 ,OOO, OO(
to invest in anything.
Lord Randolph said the queens
wealth was oVereStlmated as design
to excite popular feeling against roy
atty. He objected to the adoption OF
methods, the purpose of which was t.
foment clamor against the crown
which in spite of them would remain
steadfast in the affections of the PEG
pie.
Mr. Labouchere's motion to adop'
: his substitute for the report of rOya
= grants, was rejected by 28S to 15S.

is unwilling to increase the burdens o
! the people without the assurance tina
no further demands will be made OF
them for royalty grants.
