LONDON, Feb. S.-A romantic story
is that of the engagement. now an
nounced, between DR.. Henry Huxley,
son Of the eminent professor. and Miss
Todd. He was physician at Barthol-
Omew's Hospital, she trained nurse in
one of the wards. Attracted by her
beauty and refinement he paid her
marked attention. She snubbed the
young doctor
lie persisted and at last succeeded in
gaining civil treatment. Being en-
gagged in several trying cases together
he was struck with admiration at her
unseliish devotion and perfect manner
of carrying out the details of their or
ders. She was fascinated by his skill
and manly tenderness to the patients
under his care. 1t was the old story
soon told. He asked here to marry
him. She modestly said YES; if Papa
Huxley did not object"
Papa Huxley did object Then, dis
Governing that Miss Todd was lady,
rich and we'll born, he relented, and on
learning further that the lady had taken
up the trade of nurse from
purely scientific and anatomical tenden-
cies, approved her course most warmly.
The wedding day was fixed, but influ-
enza stepped in and the ardent lover
was ordered off to Tenerlffe, whittier

Terrible Suffering of Eight PeIev

Terrible Suffering of Eight PeIew
Islanders on the Pacific.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Feb. S.--The
American bark Joseph S. Spinney re.
Gently brought into Hioga, Japan, eight
Pelow Islanders who were picked up at
sea in dying condition. Their story
is one of remarkable hardship and un.
usual vitality, as they were eighteen
days at sea in a small dug-out canoe,
without food or water
IT seems they started with their old
King to visit o neighboring island, when
they were blown out to sea by a hurri-
cane. Their canoe had catamaran at
tachments, so it did not get swamped,
yet they suffered torture because they
could not shift their positions without
swamping the boat, which was only
thirty feet by fifteen inches beam.
They had no food, and on the eigb.
teenth day the old King decided his
young, son must be sacrificed to save
the lives of his father and others. They
had made all preparations for killing
the boy when they were rescued.
They were so weak that the ships
crew had to carry them in their arms
from the boat. Their stomachs had
fallen in, and their bones in some cases
protruded through the skin. Six days
after the rescue the old King died.
-Four men recovered rapidly, but it took
three ten days before they could walk.
They are light copper colored, and
have long hair like women. An effort
will be made to send them home, but
few vessels touch at the Pelew Islands,
which are under Spanish protection.

Engllsbmen Pay Nearly Two Millions
For 1t.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. S.--The
Forepaugh circus has been sold.
after Frederick Sutterle had met John
A. Brown, one of the executors of
Adam Forepaugh, RS, will, Thurs
day night, and unfolded to him the
plans and offers of the English syndi-
cate, IL was determined to make the
sale of the great show property. 1t is
now known that before Adam Fore
paugh, sr.'s, death, the negotiations
had proceeded so far that no backward
steps could be taken, and that Mr..
Forepaugh had actually agreed to the
terms offered. This agreement was
considered binding by the executors.
Yesterday all the papers were properly
signed to make the transfer effective.
There was considerable difficulty in
coming to terms. Finally it was
agreed to form stock company with o
capital stock of 81, 800, 900, the Eng
lish capitalists agreeing to fake two
thirds Of the stock and the estate to re-
tain one.third interest. Owing to his
intimate knowledge of the business,
Adam Forepaugh, jr., has been selected
as manager for term of years and
Frederick Sutterle will represent the
syndicate in this country and look after
their interests.
As soon as copies of the agreement
can be sent to England the bankers
who represent the syndicate will pay
the money over to the English repre-
sentatives of the executors of the estate
and it will be transmitted to this coun.
try and will be invested under the pro-
visions of the will.

PARIS, Feb. S.-The Duke of Or
leans, who was arrested yesterday upon
his arrival in this city on suspicion of
being engaged in o royalist plot to over
throw the Government and also for
violating the law banishing his father,
the Count of Paris, and himself from
France as enemies of the republic, occu-
pied comfortable apartments at the resi-
dence Of the Duchess De Chartres. The
Princess Marguerite and other friends
will be permitted to visit the Duke. nj.
Constans, the Minister Of the Interior,

tinction.
The monarchist Deputies have de-
cided to interpolate the government as
TO its reasons for imprlsoning the
Prince.
The Repu6lique FrGncaise, the gov
ernment organ, makes no comment
upon the arrest, but merely quotes the
expulsion law, which provides a penalty
of from two to five years Imprisonment
for its violation. lie Pair and the Jour
nal des Debats both advocate that the
Duke be reconducted to the frontier.
The Cabinet to-day decided to enforce
the law in the case of the Duke, and
he was arraigned this morning, charged
with violating the law expressly passed
by the government banishing both him
self and father as enemies of the re-
public. The Duke said that he returned
to France merely for the purpose
of performing the military duties i'm
posed by the laws of France on all
youths upon attaining the age of 21
years. He requested that the hearing
be adjourned in order to allow him
time to place his case in the hands of
counsel. The request was granted, aad
an adjournment taken until Wednesday
next.

SPAIN is UNEASY.
The Eject On tha~ Republicans of the
Madrid Mass- Meeting Feared.

Maurfd mnse- Meeting reared.
LONDON, Feb. s.-The Spanish au-
thorities are decidedly uneasy over the
possible character of the demonstra-
tions at a mass meeting called at Madrid
for Tuesday next. The 18th of Febru-
rary is the anniversary Of the abdica-
ton of Amadeus, the recently deceased
Duke of Aosta, and the Inauguration
Of the short-lived republic, a form of
government which failed, Spanish
theorists say, because it was too tender
hearted to punish the enemies who were
openly plotting its destruction. Many
think the announced gathering will
mark an important era in Spanish
history.
An lberian republic, somewhat after
the model of the United States, nicely
rounded off by The admission of Portu
gal, is mildly hoped for by such repub
licans as Ply, Margall and CASTELAR,
the Spaniards reminding the inhabi
taDts of the smaller kingdom how
handy it would be in case of another
difficulty to belong to body capable
Of defending its rights. Senor Gomez
is said to have cynically remarked, in
reference to such argument, that after
the Spaniards have driven the English
out of Gibraltar it will be time to talk
of protecting other people.
TIE ''LA PLATA ROBBERY.
The robbery of the steamer La
Plata, discovered after her arrival at
Antwerp from Buenos Ayres, proves to
have been deep-laid affair. An oiler
and quartermaster of the steamer are
missing. They are undoubtedly Eng
lish professionals, but the collaboration
ut Antwerp is said to be an American.
Some cipher letters and kilograms
have been found in the lodgings he
formerly occupied in London, which,
so far as they can be construed, init
mate that the same parties have patiently
worked on the La Plata and other boats
and once narrowly missed q much
greater haul than the 10000 pounds
which has rewarded their efforts.
The significant admonition of En-
peror William to tue military cadets al
the College of Lichterfelde to temper
supplements the warning given by the
imprisonment OF tnree DaVarlan onlcers
for abusing their men. The Prus.
sian officers are notoriously more
merciless to those under them than
are the Bavarians. 1t is said that, in view
of the number of men actually killed
during the year by the severity of the
drill, the Emperor has received advices
that in future instances of the kind
their comrades will draw lots to SEE
who shall avenge the fate of thei
brethren in arms.

ton Hall, which occupied space of
ground on Broadway 400 by 600 feet,
was burned TO the ground about 2
o'clock this morning. The loss will not
fall much short of 100000. A ball
was in progress at the time the fire was
discovered, but all the guests got out in
sa fety, some, however, leaving their
wraps The fire originated in the base
ment of the building, and it was only
when the dense smoke made its way
into the ballroom that the guests were
made aware of their great danger.
The building was three stories high,
the first floor being occupied as offices
and stores. The armory of the First
Battalion, N. G. N. j., and the ball
room were situated on the second floor
The lodge.rooms of the Ivanhoe +. and
A. M. were on the top floor.
In the upper part Of the building
were also the sleeping apartments of
the janitor, William Smith, and his
wife, both of whom had narrow escapes
from suffocation, the latter being car
ried out in an unconscious state.
The fire, it is now said, was caused
by an explosion in the soda water
manufactory of Messrs. Swinley in the
rear end of the building.
About 2:40 when the flames were at
their highest, q rapid fire of musketry
took place, frightening every one away
from the building. This was caused by
the ignition of 10000 rounds of cart
ridges in the armory. The fusilade was
kept up for some time, sending the bull
lets in all directions, but no one was
hurt.
The flames spread to large three
story building adjoining, which was
entirely destroyed. and entailing o loss
to number of families who lived there
of $4,000. Peter Owens house,
Days confectionery and Dowd's pho
tographie establishment were also
burned out. In the hall building the
Board of Trade rooms, with their valu-
able library and documents, were COM
pletely destroyed. In the armory were 300
rifles and accoutrements, all belonging to
the State and these with Gattling gun
were burned up. The only one injured
| so far as known, was James Lindsay, q
fireman of engine No. 6, who was
thrown off roof and severely injured
The hall was owned by Katz Brothers.
1t will be rebuilt.
The large bottling factory and resi-
dence of the Boyle brothers, on Fair
street, were destroyed. The Won Blar-
com flats were not destroyed, although
the building was several times on fire.

time excitement ran very high.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. S.-James
Whitcomb Riley was brought to his
home here yesterday from Louisville.
He talked freely about his recent
trouble, the first reports of which he
says he read, but they shocked him so
he has not had the courage to read
more. He is astonished that the public
has failed to see the spirit of malice,
anger and revenge which pervade these
reports. He regards Bill Nye as true
friend, and says that the warm affection
between Nye and himself is the same
that it has always been. lie is receiv-
ing many friendly letters from all parts
of the country. He does not care to
think of the future. He says there is

RumOred Plans of the Louisiana Lot
terry Company

RumOreu Plans OF the LOutSlana Lou
terry Company
New ORLEANS, Feb. S.-The officials
of the Louisiana Lottery Company con-
tinue to be silent as to the lottery bill
now before the Dakota Legislature. A
local afternoon paper, which is by
many believed to have been inspired,
yesterday gave the following answer to
a readers query: "Does the State lot
terry contemplate removing to North
Dakota and establishing branch
there?"
The only response which, after due
inquiry, can be made is that the Louis
lana Lottery Company's present charter
does not expire until 1896; that it may
seek a renewal thereof at its present
domicile; that the managers of the
company do not know the terms and
conditions under which North Dakota
makes its tender, not having seen the
bill which has passed the Senate that
they will not decide in any way upon
the inducements held out by Dakota
until the conditions have been maturely
considered
