WANT TO COME HOME,
But Cannot Secure Any Berths on the
Big Ocean Steamers.
AMERICANS CAUGHT IN EUROPE.
The Bonn in Stocks Causes Rush for the
Western Continent.
SPECULATIVE FEVER ON IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Herald corre-
spondent cables as follows: The situation
of hundreds of Americans in London is be-
coming absolutely tragic. The difficulty of
getting passage back to America may be
judged by the fact that as high as 500 has
been offered as premium for berths on
steamers sailing to-day, but all in vain.
There is a multitude of Western spectators
here who did not forsee the early boom in
stocks due to big crops who have been rush.
ing back from all parts of Europe wild with
excitement and clamoring for passage back
before it is too late to make money on the
general rise.
1 saw one Minnesota man last night who
offered 5000 extra for a passage on the Um-
bria. Had it not been for his wife and
child he would have gone in the steerage.
Three Americans went to the Office of the
Guion line and wanted a cabin on the first
ship that sailed. The agent informed them
he could not give them cabin until about
the beginning of October.
=. BIG SHIPS SOLD OUT.
The agent of the Hamburg American Line
said: "We have been sold out since July
up to October. There have been many more
Americans in Europe this year than last
year. 1 never knew such crush before.
The Furst Bismarck has been sold out all
the season, even to the cooks and butchers
rooms; in fact the Furst Bismarck was sold
out for the entire year, except by chance
that some one is giving up his cabin or
berth"
The agent of the Guion Line said: eve
are sold up to the beginning Of October.
Dozens who have applied for passage in the
Alaska have been turned away"
The agent of the White Star Line said:
"Applications for passage are far beyond
our capacity. Two ladies called to-day who
want to sail to New York next week and Of
fered $3.50 for the voyage. We would not
accommodate them. There are so many
round trip tickets that most of the business
is done in the New York office"
The Inman Line agent said that the pecul-
iarity of the American traffic this year was
that people were leaving for home earlier
than usual. The North German Lloyd
Line is full up to the end of September.
THROUGH THE SUDDEN RISE IN STOCKS.
The secret of all this is the sudden rise in
stocks caused by the failure of European
crops. The storekeepers in London say that
while Americans are rushing back before
the usual time it is certainty they will
come back to Europe earlier next year to
spend the money they make now.
The effect of the sudden and widespread
in America is electrical in Eng
land. The face of every capitalist is turned
toward the West. Company promoters are
to appear on the scene again and
the old familiar mines and patents are be-
ginning to be talked about. One company
actually proposes to float a sapphire, ruby
and diamond mine in Montana. Who
knows but in few weeks London may be
again in the wild fever of speculation that
brought about the recent crash?

A SYMPATHETIC JURY
Justifles the Killing of Disgraceful Wife
by the Husband.

PARIS, Sept. 6-Robert Barthelemy, of
Lakeland, La, who, on May 9 last, shot his
wife on the Boulevard st. Germain, has
Just been tried for the murder. The jury
acquitted him without leaving their seats,
and the audience in court accorded him o
veritablc ovation.
The case was singular. Barthelemy is a
young civil engineer of high talents, who
went out to Louisiana to make a position
for himself with a prominent planter and
who declared his intention to become an
American citizen.
Although he wrote constantly to his wife,
whom he had left behind, and supplied her
with everything necessary to her support,
she fell into evil courses, and such terrible
stories of her conduct reached him that he
returned to France. After some difficulty
he found her, and in, company with q
stranger.
The woman laughed at him and refused to
follow him, whereupon he shot her dead

and sly glances of large black eyes almost
hid by heavy eyelashes.
In looking al the fine chiseled chin and

one almost forgets the scantiness of their

The Superior of Brompton Brutality Assault
ed by an Insane Man.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-There was an exciting
scene at the Brompton Oratory, the most
fashionable Catholic Church of London, to-
day. As the Superior, DIR. Bowden, was
proceeding down the crowded church to
hear confessions, contractor named Myers,
a former worshiper in the church, leaped
from behind pillar, brandishing a cane,
and began reviling the minister. He soon
added blows to words.
The women in the vicinity were panic
stricken, and it was some time before the
male attendants could reach the spot and
rescue the Superior. Myers was seized and
police aid summoned, the result being that
he was held to await the outcome of the
inquiry into his sanity.

ON HIS cHILDR EMS GRAVES.
An Old War Veteran Found Dead in .
Cemetery.

.CATsKILL, N. Y, Sept. 6.-John Butler
was yesterday found dead on the grave
of his children in st. Patrick's Gene
terry at Jefferson by Rev. Mr.. Miller,
rector of st. Luke's Church. The un-
fortunate man had sthe misfortune to
lose several of his children recently and was
inconsolable over his bereavement. His
habit of spending all his spare time by the
little graves was so well known that though
many persons observed him lying PROSTATE
on the ground his attitude excited no
alarm.
Mr.. Miller, who approached him to offer
some word of consolation, was shocked to
find that life was extinct, and medical ex-
animation proved he had been dead for sew
eral hours. He was a member of Corcoran's
Sixty-ninth Regiment and was wounded at
Bull Run.
