LONDON, June 15.-The Times commenting
on the Samoan agreement says: Perhaps it
is as well that Bismarck has been made to
realize that where American interests are
concerned the American government is
very little affected by many of those con-
siderations which restrain the action of the
European governments with whom he is
more accustomed to deal, and with whom he
can for this very reason deal more easily.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9,-Harry D. Schall,
assistant cashier of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad company, is an
embezzler, and has fed the city. The
amount of his shortage is $4,000, of
which the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
roads loss is S11.500, and the Clerks
and Mechanics Building and Loan AS
sociation of Chicago, of which he was
treasurer, loses $4,000. Mr.. Schall was
at his desk last Saturday, but not APP
pearing Monday bis absence created
suspicion. and experts were set to work
on his books. Discrepancies amounting
to nearly $4,000 were discovered, and.
as Mr.. Schall has been sending out
hundreds of packages in the last few
days for the pay of workmen along the
line, further sums may yet be found
missing. Mr.. Schall was about twenty
four years old, and is said to have been
man of good habits. He was engaged
to marry a young lady belonging to a
prominent North side family. lie had
been III the cOmpany's employ for about
ten years, and his honesty had never
been questioned. The railroad COM
pany are insured against loss by the
American Surety company.
1t is now said that young Schall's de-
falcatiOn may reach $4,000. Three
days elapsed from the time of the theft
till its discovery. and it is believed that
the defaulter has made good his escape.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 9.-Washing-

peared in new role couple of nights
ago. Bishop and his present wife ar
rived here last week and registered at
the Maxwell house. He had been on a
tour of the South, and until a short
time ago had Harrison Millard, the song
writer and pianist, as his assistant.
Millard left Bishop in huff, and tine
latter'S conduct since then has been
erratic, to say the least. About $3.50
o'clock two nights ago the occupants of
rooms at the Maxwell heard woman's
screams issuing from the apart
ment occupied by the Bishops.
Several gentlemen opened the door
of the room and found Mrs.

sake take him away" exclaimed Mrs.
Bishop. 'Pshaw, she has Mysteries, :"
said Bishop, who was in his shirt
sleeves, "and has been trying to kill
herself with case-knife," he added.
He walked away from the shrinking,
crouching figure, but approached again.
He did this several times, and each
time the woman appealed to the by
ISLANDERS to keep Bishop away. Finally,
on being demonstrated within an en-
phatic manner, Bishop left his wife,
while she proceeded to wipe blood from
her nose and wrist. A corner of the
bed-sheet had been used for the same
purpose. Despite Bishops denials,
Mrs. Bishop declared he had beaten her
and called her vile names besides. She
is an uncommouly pretty girl of about
twenty-four. and says she has been the
mind-reader'S wife about year.
