Mr.. Coschen About the Only Sup
porter of the Compensation Bill.
LONDON, Special.-Although the present
session OF parliament is quite we'll advanced
the heavy work of that body is vet to be
confronted, and to-morrow's sitting will be-
gin the earnest labor Of clearing away the
mass of legislation which. has accumulated.
There is a strong indication that the govern
ment is shaky on the compensation bill and
only Mr.. Goschen is understood to be de-
termined to rush it to the end. The Union
list newspapers o advise the government
to drop the measure and. the Tory journals
advocate reconsideration and modification
of the bill before the occurrence of the tenn
perance mass meeting called in Hyde Park
next Saturday to protest against it. The
movement is growing to large proportions,
and the meeting promises to be one of the
largest and most enthusiastic public gath
erings held in London for many
years. In addition to these signs
of hot warfare against the measure
there is a significant movement in opposi
ton to it within the ranks OF the govern
ment party. Several strong supporters Of
the government have formally intimated to
the ministry that. while supporting the
second reading OF the bill, they will, if the
measure is proceeded with, be obliged to
offer and advocate extensive amendments
in committee.

COMING TO LIGHT.

Deeds Of Benevolence or the Late
Sigvald A. Ovale.
EAU CLAIRE, Special, Telegram.-The sup
position that the estate of the late Sigvald
A. Qvale was to be eventually used to found
a large hospital where persons of means
will be received for proper compensation,
but where the poor will be received free, has
been verified from authoritative sources. It
is now learned that this was the great de-
sire of the ~millionaire's life, and that for
years he had meditated upon this benevo-
lent purpose. The company which is
handling the estate is composed of gentle
men whom he implicitly trusted and who
will see that the wishes of their departed
friend are carried out. Several years must
elapse before the hospital is established. It
will be a monument to the ~benevolence of
q man whose deeds of charity, hitherto lit
tie known. to the world, are coming to
light every day since his death. Among
these works OF benevolence was the tound-
ing fan orphans home near his old home
in Norway, where he was given an ovation
by the children on his last visit to the old
country a year ago. The reports which
have been in circulation that an effort
would be made to prevent the use OF the
property tor the purpose desired by the de-
ceased are denied. Though Mr.. Qvale lett
no will whatever, the relatives and all
others who have any claim are said to be
all provided Tor and satisfied.

LONDON, Special.-In a speech at the Stal-
ley banquet Surgeon Parke, in singing tie
praises of his chief, happened to remark
that when Stanley was i'll during the march
he said: Doctor, run up the stars and stripes
to cheer me; let me at least die beneath
the shadow Of the American flag" Thia
made all the Britishers look glum, but
Stanley's face wore a quizzical expression.
as if he rather enjoyed the situation. This
remark of Parke's, taken in connection
with the obstinate silence of Stanley in
the face of obvious attempts by the English
to induce him to make a declaration
under which flag" and also in view of his
recent severe criticisms upon England's At
rican policy, gives good ground for the
growing belief that Stanley has determined
to transfer his allegiance and services
to other than British interests. His
yelled praise Of Germany's aggressiveness in
opening up new fields for her commerce
may, peshaps, be taken as an indication
that he would not object to entering the
service of the Emperor William, tor whom
he is known to possess great admiration.

Efforts Being Made to Indict Supt.
McCabe Of the Northern Pacific.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Special.-The night of
Feb. 4, 1890, was a time of great importance
to the lottery ring in North Dakota. There
was work lone in the interest of the concern
that night on account of which certain men
suddenly left their positions in the employ
of the railroad company and have since
carefully absented themselves from the
state. Among those who have dis
appeared are George McCabe, a
brother of Division Superintendent A. J.
McCabe, and who was employed as chief
train dispatcher, and asubordinate operator
named Taylor. On the night of Feb. 4 the
telegraph wires of the Western Union Tel
egraph company were cut about two and a
half miles east of jamestown. This work
was done by George McCabe and two
operators named Taylor aad Burner,
presumably under the direction of
the superintendent himself. At that time
a great many kilograms, both for
against the lottery project, were passing
over the wires, and young McCabe and his
two assistants side-tracked such as were I'M
favorable to the lottery and rushed the
others through with all possible haste. 1t
is charged that they advised the friends of
the lottery of the contents of messages in
tended for the anti-lottery people in adj
vance of their delivery to those entitled to
them, and thus put
THE LOTTERY CROWD
in possession of the secrets and plans of the
anti-lottery people before the opponents of
the lottery could communicate with each
other in different parts Of the state. Long
petitions and lists of names in favor of the
lottery were, it is said, rushed through
without charge, while protests against the
lottery were delayed. The Western Union
company, becoming satisfied that these
charges demanded attention, that the
integrity of the company's serv-
ice might be protected. have In
stituted an investigation. 1t has resulted in.
the confession of one of the men impli-
Gated in cutting the wires. His confession
and other evidence was presented to the
county attorney of Stutsman county with
the req uest that he move for an Indictment
of Supt. A. J. McCabe for causing the wires
to be cut. The county attorney preDared

New YORK, June %, 1s9o-tSpecial cor

other of the varied and bewitching bits of
fnery with which that radiant being, the
summer girl, is going to dazzle us, during
the next three or four months. 1t is one of
Redfern's new breakfast jackets, or matt
nees, which though intended rather for a
negligee, are beautiful and elaborate
enough to be worn through all the daylight
hours, with skirts of various sort. The
material of this one is one of those lovely
crepes de chine in single tone but with
small brocaded figures. tits faint mauve,
and is trimmed with a band of royal purple
velvet upon the faring cuffs, around the
bottom, and down the fronts below the
wide rolled revers. A wider band of the
velvet passes across the neck beneath the
ROLLED collar, and back of the revers, and
is finished at the waist line, by gold orna-
ment and pendants. The vest beneath is
an artfully arranged mass of softly folded
crinkled crepe in canary yellow, and the
collar and revers are faced with the same.
