to present to Her Majesty, The Queen, a Petit

States of America, asking for the pardon of
Mrs. Florence Maybrick. In reply l have to

TO THE PUBLIC:
The "dvinity which doth hedge a King or
Queen" is something almost insurmountable,
but hope to "get there" yet. Ihave failed in
my application to U. S. Minister Lincoln, and
as will be seen by the above courteous letter,
the same fate has attended my effort to enlist
the powerful aid of H. R. II. the Princess of
Wales But in my third attempt (proverbially
the lucky number) l hope to be successful.
Lady Randolph Churchill formerly Of New
York City is The good angel to whom have
made my third appeal and on whose we'll
known kind and merciful heart pin my faith.
When undertook this mission of mercy |
fully realized the difficulty would have to
contend with to bring the Petition of the
Women of America directly under the "Royal
Eyes" To simply address this important doe
ument to Her. Majesty, Queen Victoria, would
passes through the hands of the "Home Sec.
retary," who retains all official papers, send
ing stereotyped replies thereto from the
Home Office" The mind of the CLONE Sec
rotary" is biased against our unfortunate
countrywoman, Mrs. Maybrick.
Failing Lady Churchill, have solicited the
monumental Influence OF the Earl of Salisbury,
Prime Minister of England, and lastly, but BY
no means least, l have besought the good
offices of Hon. James G. Blaine, our own Sec
rotary OF State, in this truly Christian DOrk.

BOILED RIcE.-Wash one cup of
rice. Put three quarts Of boiling
water into kettle, add teaspoonful
of salt, and let it boil rapidly;
sprinkle in the rice SO gradually that
you will not stop the boiling. When
you have it all in, give the water a
twirl with fork, cover the kettle,
and boil rapidly twenty minutes.
Then pour into a colander to drain.
Place the colandar on a tin dish;
stand it in the oven for five minutes,
to dry, leaving the door wide open;
then turn it carefully into a heated
dish. Serve without cover.
Points to be remembered Boil
rapidly from the time you cover the
kettle till you take it off. The rapid
boiling allows each grain to swell three
times its normal size, and the motion
prevents the grains from sticking TO-
gether. Do not stir it, as this will
cause it to fall 10 the bottom of the
kettle, and burn. The drying in the
oven with the door open evaporates
the moistuae, leaving the rice softA

MARsEALLTOWN, To-, Nov. 16. -
To-day bloody affray occurred at the
home Of Marcena Stone, wealthy
farmer living four miles southwest of
here. Stone has hired man named F.
l.. Pelbeam. This morning after the
chores were done the farmer and hired
man sat down to read while waiting for
breakfast. Suddenly, and without
prOVocatiOn or warning, Pelbeam
grasped a small, blunt hatchet, which
he held secreted under his coat, leaped
to his feet and struck Stone violent
blow OH the top of his head. The latter
fell to the floor, stunned and bleeding.
His assailant repeated the attack,
dealing six more blows OIL the head of
his victim. At this juncture Mrs.
Stone appeared from another room.
Pelbeam turned upon her and struck
her five times with the hatchet. and
would doubtless have killed her but for
the fact that her husband rallied and
seized him by the throat. keeping him
under subsection till the neighbors, who
had been aroused by the screams of the
woman and her two small children, ar
rived upon the scene. Pelbeam then
fed. but number of neighbors pursued
him half mile and captured him, but
found he had cut his own throat with a
dull pocketknife, which nearly severed
his windpipe but did not inflict nee
essarily fatal wound. He was brought
to town and jailed. He is evidently in
sane. Physicians say Stone and his
wife are dangerously injured, but both
will probably recover.

RUSSIA DID 1T.
The Bear Precipitates the Trouble
of the Barings.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-The Barring
Brothers embarrassment was due to
the action of the Russian government,
which, alarmed by the financial troubles
in the Argentine Republic during the
summer, suddenly withdrew from the
Barings GO, 2,5O0,000, just as it with
dIew Gl,000,000 from the Compton,
d. Escompte in the spring of
1889, its action at that time resulting in
the suicide of the manager of the insti-
tuition and the collapse of the copper
ring. Except the rise in the bank rate
to no trouble occurred and the e., $780,
600 was quietly transferred to Berlin.
After this things apparently regained
their former SmOothneSS. The governor
of the Bank of England acted with ex-
ceeding discretion, keeping every
thing as secret as possible in
order to avoid a panic. The
BaringS offered to sacrifice everything,
but the unavoidable delay in realizing
would have been almost equivalent to
an actual collapse, and for this reason
it was decided to raise guarantee fund.
The arrangement for assisting the Bar
rings was finally concluded at a meeting
of the Bank of England Saturday morn
ing. The personal property of the
members of the firm amounts to over
e1,OOO,OOO. 1t is rumored that Russia's
agent in Paris withdrew recently an
other e2, 500, 600 on rumor that the Bar
ings had stopped payment. The latter's
assets include 47,G0O,O00. of the finest
paper in the world. 1t is believed that
three years will be ample time to bring
the firms affairs to substantial posi-
ton. All the morning papers, while
regretting that great name has been
brought so low, applaud the courage
with which the difficulty was met, and
acknowledge that the Bank OF England
has earned the thanks of the whole COM
munity for the skill and promptitude
with which it arranged so difficult and
complicated all affair.

FOUND OVER A PRECIPICE.
Remarkable Search for a Child
in Tennessee.

HILLsBoRO, Tenn, Nov. 16.-A re-
markable search for a lost child has
been exciting the natives of this, and
adjoining counties during the past few
days. Last Sunday morning about s
O'Clock Budd Futts and wife, living on
the top of Cumberland mountains near
the Grundy and Coffee county line,
went to Sunday school, leaving their
four small children at home. While
they were absent their little girl, who is
between eight and nine years of age,
and is deaf, dumb and an idiot, strayed
away from the house unknown to the
other children. Upon the return of
the father and mother search was
was at once made, but without re-
suit. The mother was wild with
grief and at last party of neighbors
Joined in the search. The country for
miles around was thoroughly explored,
but still there came no tidings of the
lost one. The whole county became
aroused and the search was prosecuted
with rigor every day until Thursday,
when the little one was found alive
several miles from home. 1t had been
in the woods four days and nights in
section of country where bears, pam
theirs and other wild beasts abound, yet
it was unharmed. The child was found
on top of a precipice, and tracks along
the top showed that it had strayed on
several occasions within few steps Of
the edge. During the four days inter-
yening between its disappearance and
discovery several hundred men, boys
and children were engaged in the
search.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 16.-One OF tht
greatest land-jumping cases in the
history of this region has just come tt
light. A party of men from Butte
among them a. G. Campbell and JohI
Houck, came over here last night ant
fenced in eighty acres of land on tht
west side Of the city, which is known al
the Cannon addition. The land is worth
several hundred thousand dollars, and
much Of 1t has been built on
1t was acquired by G. w. Cannon. Sam.

some ten years ago from tie original
owner, who took it up under what i.
known as soldiers scrip. The jumpers
claimed that the land was conveyed by
power OF attorney, and that the pro.
ceedings were irregular, holding that
the conveyance should have been made
IN person, under rulings OF the court.
1t is also claimed that the scrip
was irregular. As soon as it was learned
that the property was being fenced
III the owners engaged force of men
who followed UP the jumpers. As soou
as one party erected section of fence
and moved on another came behind and
tore down the work of the other gang,
Strange to say, no personal conflict oc.

are all millionaires. and will give the
Jumpers lively fight. A great many
are inclined to think that the whole
affair Is a blackmailing scheme, as
HOuck went to see Cannon and HauseI
some days before jumping the property
and told him of his claim and that of his
associates, and also informed them that
the title was imperfect. The owners
refused to treat with him and the claim
jumping followed.

MANDAN, N. D., Nov. 16-Settlers
living on the border of the Sioux reser-
walton bring stories of the arming of
Indians, which are borne out by Joseph
Bakley, who speaks their language. He
came in to-day, and says there is every
indication of the Indians shortly going
on the warpath. He says they have
got possession of Clusters rifles, which
the United States army have never
found. Local hardware men have in
the last few days sold their entire stock
of ammunition to Indians. The Indians
say if they are unsuccessful in
their raid they will get dou-
BILE rations, and they have nothing
to lose. Citizens here, and settlers who
are unprotected, believe Gen. Ruger
and the Indian authorities are barbor-
ing feeling of false security, and when
too late the number of troops at Fort
Lincoln will be increased. The mayor
of Mandan has called a meeting, and
the war department will be asked to
furnish the citizens with guns if not
with soldiers. Many settlers between
Mandan aud the reservation are aban-
doning their farms and ranches because
of lack of protection afforded them by
the government. The most conserva-
tive feel gloomy over the outlook.

ELLENDALE, N. D., Nov. 16.-The in
coming legislature will have a hard
struggle on the prohibition question.
The subject has to some extent been
lost sight of in the excitement attending
the senatorial contest. A considerable
number of the members OF both houses
were elected on that issue, and it is be-
lieved by the liquor element that bill
can be passed resubmitting the question
of prohibition. A majority of the Red
river valley members, the Stutsman
delegation, most of the Missouri slope
members and a few others scattered
over the state are anti-prohibitionists,
ard will support bill to resubmit the
qutstisn. The Alliance and the. De-
mocracy will clash OH this point
to some extent. Most of the
farmers elected ON the 4th inst. are
prohibitionistS. Senator Kinter, of La
Moure. Democratic leader, will not
stand with his party On the liquor Ques-
ton. The member of the house from
that county is also temperance man.
Most of the Independents will vote for
reSubmission. Senator Ink, of Rich
ltHu, duO ONCHSIuO VI DOLGiHcdus luC
two youngest men i'll the legislature.
and both Republicans. will oppose the
bill. Senator McGillivray. of Dickinson,
is one West Missouri legislator whom
the temperance people are counting OH
for opposition to any hostile legislation.
The delegation from the Emmons-Kid-
der district are temperance men, but
are understood to favor resubmissiOn.
The Dickey county members are op-
posed to it. The Ramsey and Nelson
county delegations are for absolute pro-
hibitiOn, and there are also some voters
on that side from Trail, Walsh and Cass
counties. A careful estimate shows
majority of three in the senate and five
in the house in favor of resubmission.
The temperance organizations are al
ready bringing out their forces for an
active campaign at Bismarck. The
battle this winter will be adhesive one,
as the legislature will not meet, there
after for two years. The prohibition
lists admit that the liquor men caught
them mapping in the recent election,
and almost, if not quite. captured the
legislature.

THE FINANCIAL ERUPTION
Has a Serious Effect on Business
in London.

in London.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Business in dis
sount during the past week was limited
owing to the unsettled state of financial
affairs, brokers declining to do anything
under the Bank of England'S minimum
rate. The stock exchange throughout
the week was in a condition of extreme
tension, which was only relieved yes
terday when it become known that
financial crisis had been averted. The
progress of the settlement without any
important failure and the infiuX of
gold into the Bank of Eng
land caused brief surface i'm
provement about the middle of the week,
but an undercurrent of rumorS aSSOcia-
ting a great financial house with i'm
pending disaster checked all tendency
10 confidence in the future. Even be-
fore the settlement the critical position
d. the firm alluded to through tremend-
Gus losses connected with the Argentine
and Uruguayan republics was well
known. Those who best knew of the
firms affairs expected that the crisis
would become acute on Monday. The
firm was then negotiating for assistance
in every likely quarter. The alarm did
not reach the public until the eve of the
success Of the negotiations, when the
Bank of England in connection with
the Rothschilds and others had deter
mined to interfere to prevent
catastrophe. The arrangements were
completed on Thursday. The
wave of depression then pre-
vailing continued until the opening
yesterday, when the public announce
ment that great collapse had been
averted relieved the tension, though it
did not dispel distrust. The general
feelings is that it is still too early to con-
elude that all is right. 1t is known that
number OF minor firms have been un-
her heavy strain. 1t is also improba-
BILE that confidence will be restored un-
til the position of the Barings toward
Argentine financial matters becomes
clearer. Dr.. Plaza, the Argentine eX-
pert, who is now in London, is treating
with the Barings and other firms re-
garding immense operations involving
