CHICAGO, Oct. 9,-TSpecial Telegram TO
TuE BEE. "A dispatch from New York
states that Mrs. Mike Mcdonald, wife of the
well-known Chicago eX.gamber and poiti-
cal boss, has returned from Europe, whittier
she was reported to have eloped with Cath
olic priest last July. In an interview last
night. in New York, she denied she had
elOped, or that there was anything in the
slightest way improper III her relations with
Father Moysant. He left Chicago before she
did because some evil-minded people had
spo;en in Il scaudalous manner about his
friendship for Mrs. Mcdonald, and she thinks
he has gone into monastery. She says she
was impelled TO leave home because of Ili
treatment by her husbands father, and that
she will not return.
Mike was seen, and said he had heard of
his wife's return. The millionaire seemed to
be in a milder mood than when his wife left.
and said he always knew she would return
to her children From the way he talked it
looks as though the couple will soon be re-
united and the divorce proceedings quashed.

THE childish antics of the commls-
sioners would be amusing were they not
so costly to Douglas county. The utter
incompetency of the board to manage
the great interests intrusted to it has
been displayed so frequently of late that
it is looked upon as matter of course.
1t Is ridiculous for the members to ac-
cuse each other of negligence to divert
public attention, and it is foolish to as
sert that they did not intend to do
wrong. The fact remains that the COM
missioners in open session approved a
bogus claim and voted away public
money without taking the ordinary pre-
caution of inqulriug into the iustness of
the bill. A thorough reorganization of
the board is necessary for the safety of
the county treasury.

in New York City.


New York, Oct, Especial Telegram to
THE BEE. John Ward informed John B.
Day to-day that the brotherhood Dla yers be-
longing 10 the New York nine had decided
they could not purchase the franchise of
the New York club, but they would start a
new club. He notified Day that the players
of the New York CLUB had voted to refuse
all positions offered them for next season,
and had appointed a committee to secure
suitable grounds, and at the same time to
solicit the financial aid of such men of wealth
as might care to take stock in the new en-
terprise. Ward added that the committee
had been very successful in both directions.
They not only found plenty of moneyed men
who were glad TO go into the new enter
PRISE, but they found a man who was quite
willing 10 furnish them with grounds not q
stones throw from the present polo grounds.
All that the owner of the property asked
was that he should nave stock enough in the
new club to represent the value OF the prop
erty secured To the uses of the association.
In short, Ward intimated that the stock
holders of the present New York club had

Of tho treasury. The return OF Minister
Ryan from Mexico, ostensibly on va
cation, is quite generally believed to
have had reference TO the threatened
complications in our commercial rela-
tions with Mexico growing out OF the
lead ore case and the proposed Mexican
duties on American live stock, and IL Is
not doubted that these matters have
been very seriously discussed by the
minister, the secretary OF the
treasury, and poss IDLY the pres
ldent and other members OF
the administration. The views Of
Minister Ryan were very plainly ex-
pressed in communication to the state
department, showing him to be strongly
in favor of u most liberal commercial
policy with respect TO Mexico. What
ever influence he may exert at Wash
ington will undoubtedly be in opposi-
tion to revocation of tho ruling
admitting Mexican silver lead ores
free. The indications are that the lead
men, even though they should carry the
case into court, will not have their de-
mand complied with. The tendency
OF sentiment in favor OF reducing the
restrictions to freer and closer trade
relations with American countries is
unfavorable to them, aud the danger TO
other interests involved in allowing

ing that Major General Sir John Ross, X. G.
H., commander Of the BRUSH forces in Can

ters has been granted a divorce from his
wife, Lady Mary The causes leading 10 the

dai in home and colonial military circles. Sir
John Is handsome man on the shady side
OF fifty, a veteran of the Indian mutiDy and
various Afghan and Indian campaigns. He
is son of the late Sir Hugh Darymple Ross.
He was married in 1865 TO May Macleod,
daughter of Alexander Macleod Hay, Esq,
of Stonehouse, Hayton. His foreign service
took him much from home, where his wife
insis ted on remaining. She was younger
than her husband, and being of a yivacious
nature sought to console herself for his alb
sence with others and developed habits as
incompatible with matrimOny rs they were
injurious To her husband. Hearing of hIs
ill-treatfpent, Sir John refused to live with
her, accepting the post here sir John would
doubtless have allowed the scandal TO die

in I'icton, n. S., descendant of the old
Acadians, whom he woOod and won. Di-
vOrce proceedings were instituted to make
