Burchell i'm Seeming Good Spirits.

Especial TO THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch, L
NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 22.-Burchell still
seems in the best of spirits, and he spends
three or four hours daily writing his auto
biography. The work will contain about
forty thousand words. In the preface he
states that the book is written to make
some provision for his faithful wife. 1t
will contain the complete story of his life,
which has been varied and exciting one.
His wife calls upon him as regularly as the
regulations allow. His meals are specially
prepared by the cook who gets up such del
icacies as he desires. AT times when he is
alone his courage and resolution fail and
sobs culver through his frame although he
never breaks down. He endeavors as
much as possible to conceal his anguish
from the guards

A Question of Duty on Rails in Bond.

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-Assistant Secre
tary Spaulding has written to the collector
of customs at San Francisco in regard to
certain steel rails now in the bonded ware,
houses, which were withheld from sale
from time to time at the request of the
Oregon Pacific railway company 1t is I'M
derstood the railway company is anxious to
withdraw the rails and pay the duties
thereon in short time, and the question
arises whether they are dutiable under the
old or the new tariff bill. Spaulding ssys
as the rails were accepted before the pas
sage of the new tariff act and the rails re-
NAMED in bond merely by suffrance and
not legally, they do not come within the
purview of the act. and therefore are duti-
able under the old law.

adopted an improved torpedo net which

JAMES 1, KING OF BUFFALO.
An Ignorant Carlsbad Official Makes of an
Onpretentious American Citizen Monarch

An Ignorant Carlsbad Official Makes of an
UnpretentiOus American Citizen Monarch.
Especial to THE HERALD-Exam1ner Cable.l
CARLSBAD, Oct. 22.-The curious mistake
of an ignoranG officer has given to the visit
of apAmerican, James l. King, of Buffalo,
N. Y, a degree of publicity that must have
been anything but agreeable to its subject,
and in fact brought his soiourn here to a
hurried and igHominious conclusion. 1t ap
pears some ignorant officers transformed
the commonplace signature of the citizen of
the great republic into, 'James L, King of
Buffalo," and in this shape it was actually
printed in the papers. The effect on the
more ignorant of the Carlsbadians was
simply astonishing. The modest pseudo
monarch was at once set upon at the hotel
by such shoal of tradesmen, beggars, tuft
hunters, promoters, of stock companies,
and schemes for the greater or less civiliza-
ton of the Dark Continent, that the unfor
tunate American was compelled to inconti
nently fly before the storm and leave by
the first available train. As if TO add to his
embarrassment, those of his prosecutors
literate enough to know that kings did not
flourish in America, set MIN down as the
veritable Buffalo Bill, travelling with his
pockets filed with German silver, goodly
proportion of which, in their opinion,
should be left in the fatherland. where it
had been largely earned.

AND WALr WHITMAN.
The Great Atheist Lectures for the Benefit Of
the Poet,

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
PHILADELPHIA Oct 22.-Robert G. In
gersoil lectured last night for the benefit
of Walter Whitman. Much of his lecture
was devoted to the life and works of the
poet "Whitman," he said, announced
the gospel of the body, he insisted that
love is not crime. He taught the dignity
of the father and mother, the sacredness of
maternity. People had been taught from
their Bible and creeds, that maternity was
the king of crime, that the women should
be purified by some ceremony IN some
temple, built in honor of some god. This
barbarism was attacked in Leaves of
Grass. The glory of the single life was
sung, the declaration of independence was
made for each and all, and yet this appeal to
manhood and womanhood was misunder-
stood 1t was denounced simply because it
was IN harmony with the great friend Of
nature. Tome" exclaimed ,f'onlonel In
gersou, "the most obscene word in our Ian
guage is celibacy.'

WILLIAM SPRAGUES FUNERAL.
The Chase and Sprague Families Meet, But
There Was no Reconciliation

49,
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NARRAGANsET PIER, Oct 22.-There was
an affecting scene at the funeral of William
Sprague yesterday, but there was no recon-
Citation over the coffin of the son. The
family was divided and the line was rigidly
drawn. The family of Ex-Governor
Sprague drove from Canonchet at an early
hour, the remains of the body being taken
to ST. Peters church.
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague came on the
early train and was guest at Greens inn.
Her brothers joined her in Providence.
They came from New York on the boat
train. Mrs. Sprague sent a magnificent
floral Offering, while the ex-governor had
previously had floral pj" w placed upon
the gold-mounted coffin. The little party
of mourners, composed of Mrs. Sprague's
family, formed an interesting group.
On the opposite side of the church sat
another group of SIX persons, Ex-Governor
Sprague, being the most conspicuous. Be-
side him sat his second wife and in this
pew was the little girl, the daughter of the
deceased man, of Avis Weed the present
wife of Colonel Wheaton. Only occasionly
did the governor look over at the pew oc-
cupied by the Chases, He covered his face
with his silk hat. His wife was. like Mrs
Kate Chase Sprague, in deep mourning
Most of the party were in ordinary attire
1t was announced that the coffin would
not be opened and thus Mrs. Sprague was
prevented from viewing the remains. She
showed clearly that she was greatly dlsap-
pointed, and once she made an effort to
leave the pew and move toward to coffin,
but she was restrained by friends who
were beside her. When the pail bearers
moved down the aisle with the coffin.
which was to be sent to Providence and
Swan Point, Ex-Governor Sprague, as if
expecting some movement by his former
wife, left the pew suddenly and walked in
the first place behind the coffin. Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague was overcome with grief
and sank sobbing in the pew, where she
was sympathized with by a number of the
old Canonchet servants aud her friends. A
most touching scene ensued she kissing
the old servants, who broke down and
wept like children as they clustered around
her. Then she went to her hack and was
driven past the hearse to the Columbus
hotel where she awaited the train.
