WASHINGTON. June 15.-A number OF
inquiries have been received at the state
department from philanthropic organi.
cations and individuals as to the failure
of the United States government to sig.
nifty its adherence to the Congo treaty,
the final ratification of which must be
exchanged before the end of the month.
This treaty is an agreement to suppress

ing fire arms and intoxicants in the
Congo district of equatorial Africa and
nearly all of the great powers of the

ACTIONS.
The state department has replied to
these inquiries that the subject is still
under consideration by the United States
senate in executive session and the de-
partment does not feel at liberty to dis
cuss the matter generally but that it is
proper to say as result of correspond
ence that it is not improbable that the
treaty will go into effect at the appointed
time in respect to all of the signatories
except the United States, ana that 1t
will be left open to this govei nent to

HENRY GEORGE VERY ANGRY.
He Wins a Case and Then Brings
Suit Against His Lawyer.

CAMDEN, N. j., June 10. ~ Henry
George, the exponent of the single tax
theory, is having hard time collecting
a legacy of $4,000 left him several
years ago by George Hutchins, an &C.
centric farmer Of Ancora, Camden
county, for the distribution Of his book,
progress and Poverty Hutchins'
widow contested her husband will. and
has fought the case through all the
courts of New Jersey until there re-
mains but few hundred dollars Of the
original bequest. The highest courts,
however, held that Mr.. George was en-
titled to two-thirds of what remained af
the estate, which amounted, according
to the accounts of Executor William s.
Braddock, to 1854. .26, and he applied in
person to the Camden orphans court for
the payment of his shares. He declared
that he felt outraged at the delay in the
matter, as he had appointed Lawyer
John I. Woodruff to collect the money,
giving him a power of attorney.
Mr.. Woodruff, he declared, had col
lected 1856. SO and sent him check for
$256.66, retaining $i00 as counsel fee.
He thought such charge excessive and
sent the check back and asked the court
to compel Mr.. Woodruff to pay him the
entire amount, as the lawyer had done
no work beyond receiving and receipting
for the money turned over to him by
the executor. Judge Hugg said the
court had no jurisdiction in the matter
and that his redress lay in bringing a
civil suit against Mr.. Woodruff.
Henry George was mad, however, and
instead of suing for the recovery of the
800 he went before Justice Cassidy and
made charge of embezzlement against
the lawyer, who is a son of the late
Judge Woodruff and one of the most
prominent young attorney of Camden.

lam Gordon Cumming. After the pro-
vost had presented an address of well
come Sir William replied, saying that
it was his duty, besides his privilege, to
reside there among his "brother Scotch
men, who have shown such kindness to
me-" In the midst of rousing cheers the
horses were then unhitched from Sir
William Gordon Cummings carriage
and the vehicle containing the bridal
pair was drawn to Altyre by the wildly
enthusiastic clansmen of Forres.

Railroad Accident In Switzerland.
Other Foreign Items of Unusual
Interest.

LONDON, June l5.-The cold reception
given the Prince Of Wales at Ascot and
the almost unanimous censure by all the
leading daily and weekly papers of his
conduct have awakened him to the seri-
business of his position. The latest re-
port Is that when the matter comes up
for discussion in parliament this week
Mr., Stanhope will be instructed to say
that the prince recognizes that he COM
mitted an error Of judgment, that he did
so with a desire of saving his old friend,
and that he regrets the events in which
he took part at Tranby Croft.
Wales Obligation TO the Wilson's.
A new phase of the situation, how
eyer, has been developed by a publica-
ton in The Edinburgh Scottish Leader.
The statement is that at the time of the
financial crisis known as the Argentine
or Braring Bros. crisis several financiers
who had loaned large sums Of money to
the Prince of Wales were obliged to ask
for the return of the money they had
advanced. These sudden demands put
q the Prince of Wales in a serious fix for
time, until Mr.. Arthur Wilson, at
whose house the now world famous
games of baccarat were played, came to
the assistance of the heir apparent and
lent him the sum of 100000, with
which the prince paid back some of the
money loaned him by other financiers.

FATHER MOLLNGER.
Thousands Seek Relief at Mt.
Troy Church.
cR1ppLEs COME BY THE HUNDRED.

Suffering All Kinds OF Bodily Ills.
Hoping to Obtain Miraculous Cures.
Rumored That the Priest Gets o
Profit from the Druggist Who
Fills His Prescriptions.
PIrrsBURa, June 15.-Fully fifty thou
sand persons visited Mt. Troy Saturday
between dawn and sunset. At no time
were there less than ten thousand per-
sons on the hill, eager to witness or par
ticipate In the observance of st. An
thongs day. The number of persons
afflicted was so large that Father Moll-
inger refused to hear individual cases.
He gave them his blessing collectively.
The Rev. Father Oster, provincial of
the order Of the Holy Ghost in this
country, celebrated the mass. The Rev.
Father Murphy, president Of the Holy
Ghost college in Pittsburg, preached the
sermon, which was on the life of st.
Anthony. The last blessing of the day
was given in front of the church by
Father Mollinger. At the time 1t was
impossible to get within 100 yards Of
the door in any direction.
Can This Be True?
a local paper says that the priest sends
all his prescriptions for medicine to a
druggist on Federal street, Allegheny,
and when giving it to the patient he inn
presses on the invalid's mind that the
medicine must be procured at that store.
Ut is rumored that the priest gets per-
centage on the druggists sales. For the
past two or three days the number of
Father Mollinger's prescription has been
mot less than ZOO or 800 per day.
An alleged discovery has been made
that there is striking similarity be-
tween the bottles and boxes. 1t Is stated
that the directions for taking the medi-
cines are not written as is usually done
by druggists, They are put on the label
with rubber stamp.
Father Mollinger's work has attracted
the attention of the best local physicians.
Many of them say that most of the dis
eases he is asked to cure exist only in
the imagination of the visitors. The
priest will take a rest after his labors
and will leave the city this week. He

DYING FROM SNAKE BITES.
Snakes Numerous and Big in the
Schuylkiil Valley.


Schuylkill Valley.
READING. Pa, June 15.-Snakes seem
to have overrun many parts Of the
Schuylkill valley. A rare monster
called "ling SNAKE" fully six feet
long, with head shaped like double
crown, and with brilliant crimson spots
over its black head. which terminates
with deadly sting at the tail, has ap-
peared on j. K. Gilbert's farm, near
Strausstown, bringing great consterna-
ture it have so far been fruitless.
A little daughter Of Frederick Mil
lard, of South Birdsboro, saw what she
considered beautiful living plaything
in the front yard. and was in the act Of
picking it up with her fingers when her
father came up and dispatched it. 1t
proved to be wampum snake, deadly
cross between copperhead and a rat
tlesnake.
A squad Of men representing Phila-
delphia museum caught great array Of
live snakes the other day alony Sacony
creek. One Of the party was bitten on
the finger by copperhead and another
by rattler, and both are expected to
die.
Mrs. Joseph Rupert, an aged lady
near Hamburg, was severely bitten in
the foot by copperhead while walking
in her garden. Her leg is terribly swol-
len, and she suffers excruciating agony.
Frank Danfert, laborer near Lans-
dale, handled big copperhead with the
intention of charming it, but tho angry
monster sunk its fangs repeatedly into
his hands, and he is now dying. The
number and size of snakes that have
been killed this month are simply enor-
nous.
