AUSTIN BIDwELL's CHANGER
The Noted Bank Robber May Be Released
From Prison Next Spring.

The Noted Bank Robber May Be Released
From Prison Next Spring.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Sept. 12.-Another effort is be-
ing made to arouse public sympathy on be-
half of Austin Bidwell, who was sentenced
in 1872 with others to penal servitude for
life for the biggest fraud ever perpetrated
on the Bank of England. The Home Secre-
tary's refusal to allow George Bidwell, who
was released on customary ticket of leave in
1886, to come to England, was based on the
belief that he intended to lecture about his
treatment in prison. Such a proceeding
would be contrary to the conditions on
which the convict was set at liberty; but
he would not be interfered with by
the police if he came here merely to visit
his brother in prison or to see friends. If
George Bidwe1 be well advised, however,
he will not leave America, because his
presence here wonld do his brother much
more harm than good.
Rightly or wrongly he is credited with
the possession of something like $50, 900,
the proceeds, which were never traced, of
the great frauds, so that his claim to have
led godly life since he left prison, and to
live only to see his brother restored to
liberty, sound oddly in official ears here.
There is good reason to believe that Austin
Bidwell will be released some time next
year, unless his jealous brother should spoil
his chances by Incorporate public advocacy
or another wild attempt at obtaining the
prisoners freedom by force or bribery.

BLAVATSKY'S MANTLE.
1T Is NOT FALLING IN HARMONIOUS
FOLDS ON MRS. BEsANT.

Laughed at by an Audience OF Theosophists
vatsly's Horrid Mouth-A Cutting Sum-
ming-Up of Theosophy.
CBY CABLE TO THE pIsPATcH.I
LONDON, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Besant's mod
esty has SO far prevented her from formally
resuming the mantle of the late lamented
Blavatsky, but she is already dealing
briskly in that astute woman's stock in
trade. Last night she lectured for the first
time in public since her open rupture with
the Secularists, and large audience assem-
bled to listen to her. She talked well, but
the majority of her hearers were plainly un-
able to follow her in her explanations Of
theosophy, which were as fanatic and as full
of jargon as chapter from the works of the
late Blavatsky.
Mrs. Besant claimed that she was entitled
to belief because she had never knowingly
told lie, and seemed hurt when somebody
in the hall laughed at such pretension.
That irreverent person may have been DR..
Arthur Hopkirk, who enjoyed the honor of
Madam Blavatsky's acquaintance, and who
writes as follows to the evening newspapers
to-day:
Whatever may be our opinion of Madam
Blavatsky's pure life, there is no doubt that
she certainly had not pure mouth. We all
know that our army SwOre terribly IN tlano-
ers, but she could have given that army or
a modern dragoon long odds and still have
won easily. Mr.. W. T. Stead could be wit
ness to this if he chose, as he used to go 10
her Sunday afternoon receptions at n norwood
before she went to Avenue road, in order,
perhaps, to be near those of pure life and
pure mouth. As to theosophy, it is well
summed up in the words of the eminent
Assyriologist, Mr.. Boscawen: "This miser-
able creed without hope: this wretched,
fond perdre; this bottomless pit of plati-
tudes, which is so well fitted to be the propa-
ganda of q charlatan and the soporific con-
ISOLATION of terrified sceptic."

FRIENDS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR FOES

LONDON, Sept. u. - copyrighted J.
While the great military powers on the
continent of Europe are maneuvering hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers, England is
making prodigious fuss with about 10000
men who have been modified with much
effort and who have been marching up and
down the hills of Hampshire all this week.
1t has been an eventful week for the British
army, and the newspapers are full OF gor-
geously colored descriptions of the march,
ing and counter-marching written by special
correspondents who are about as much quail
flied to speak about military matters as the
President of the Peace Society.
The British maneuvers have, as usual,
been conducted on the German plan, which
the best critics long ago pronounced entire
" unsuitable to warfare against savage or
semi-civilized foes, which is usually the
style of fighting which falls to the lot of
Tommy Atkins. There is an umpire in
chief and numerous assistant umpires, who
spend the holidays in galloping about the
field of battle and looking at things through
glasses
Then there is big balloon, in the car Of
which sits an engineer, an officer who is
the envy of the entire army, because he
alone feels anything of the cool breezes and
is shaded all day by the great silken globe
above him. The balloon so far has been of
no practical use, but it is kept aloft every
day, because balloons are being
used in the French, German, Russian
and Austrian maneuvers. The lateness
of the harvest has absurdly circumscribed
the maneuvering ground, and the officers
complain that the enthusiasm of their men
frequently received disheartening checks.
Fields containing standing crops must not
be crossed, and as fox coverts must be held
sacred, soul-stirring charges are often
stopped short and most cunning strategems
brought to naugLt.
These drawbacks, added to the fact that as
the opposing armies are without any badge
of distinction, and constantly mistaking
friends Cor enemies, have rendered the
maneuvers useless and ridiculous One e1-
pert critic in the Whitehall ReoieaO is moved to
denounce what he describes as 'this annual
autumnal maneuvering buffooneries' in
vigorous language, and to draw gloomy
pictures Of the Russian conquest of India
and Australia.

ALL ABOUT A BABY.
Two Women Try to Pull an Infant
Apart on a Boston Street,
IN A STRUGGLE FOR POSSESSION.
A Police Solomon Adjusts the Case in an
Amicable Manner.
soRRowFUL TALE OF THE POOR MOTHER

BOSTON, Sept. ia mother trying to
kidnap her own child. Another woman
trying to hold the child for the payment Of
year-old baby in lieu of a rope for tug-of-
war. These three different views describe
the spectacle which met the eyes Of passers-
by on fremont street, in front Of Kings
Chapel, this afternoon.
1t was noisy incident. The mother had
the baby by the legs; the other woman
clung to it by the shoulders. Neither
would release her hold, and the frightened
screams of the child quickly attracted the
attention of crowd.
'I want my child" screamed the younger
woman, between her gasps for breath, as
she tugged away.
"You sha'n't have her." gritted the elder
lady, as with determined grasp she main
tanned her hold upon the little one.
Then the crowd grew interested and took
sides, although the weight of sympathy
seemed to be with the young mother, and
further complications might have ensued
but for the appearance of Patrolman
Maynes, of station q
THE POLICE SOLOMON.
His arrival was the signal for cessation
and both sides entered upon voluble ex-
plantations, which he cut short by inviting
the entire party to go with him to station 2,
where matters could be adjusted. 1t was a
unique party which presently stood before
Captain Hemmenway's desk-the mother
weeping and angry, the other woman flushed
and defiant, the baby frightened and fearful.
The policeman quickly stated the case, and
then mutual and instantaneous explanations
began.
II want my baby" exclaimed the little
woman.
"well, why don't you pay Its board?" re-
torted the other.
81 did as long as could, was the re-
ply, "but you've got no right to keep it
from me-"
swell, you've got no right to snatch it
from me on the street, was the quick re-
sponse.
Then the captain commanded silence and
propounded series OF questions, the an
swers to which revealed one of those little
domestic tragedies SO common and yet so
uncommon, as the pretty little woman told
her fearful story.
THE SAME OLD STORY.
A few years ago she married young fell
low, who shortly after their union turned
out to be drunkard and scamp. She lived
with him as long as she could, and then left
him to begina hard battle for life for her
self and her two little ones. That was two
years ago She hired a room on a quiet
street at the South End and kept her oldest
child with her, while her infant she placed
in the care of a woman in Wakefield, who
advertised to board children.
The mother obtained work in arestaurant
and out of S. week and her board under
took to clothe herself and her little ones,
pay for her room and give So week for the
board of her baby. For six months she sue
ceeded. Then brief spell of sickness re-
tarded her efforts, and she found herself un-
able to make all ends meet, SO she ceased
the payment of 81 week for the little ones
board until such time as she should be able
to continue it.
That time has never yet appeared. Her
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-09-13

whom I ever honored and admired, even
when could not fail to wonder, the con-
trasts of whose character were Shakes
pearian, as the cast of his genius was Mil
tonic; with an eloquence such as no man in
my observance surpassed, even when trend
ing to grandiloquenee; narrowed in his use
fulness at times, from the limitations Of
his appointed sphere of action; who passed
away too late for his peace of mind, too
soon for the recognition of his enviabls
fame.
And yet am coy to write about Roscoe
Conkling. His influence yet remains, and
his name is burning theme. In no such
spirit, however, will give some vague i'm
pressions and remembrances of the man as
knew him 1 began to know Conkling well
during the first administration of Grant I
had known him before, in a far off, civil
fashion, but never to become in any special
manner his friend until through the good
offices of Mr.. Arthur, the ex-President, We
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-09-13

other little one sickened, and her earnings
were swallowed in bills for doctors and
medicines. Her brave fight for her child's
life was without avail, however, and few
weeks ago the little one died. Heart
broken, but not crushed, the young mother
again resumed the battle.
GRABBED HER CHILD.
This afternoon she saw her baby going
down fremont street in care Of the lady
with whom she had placed it two years ago,
and the maternal instinct could not resist
the desire to caress those red cheeks,
lighted up by pair of blue eyes and
crowned with curly, yellow hair. She
caught the child in her arms and was about
to kiss it, when the Wakefield woman rec
ognized her and, thinking she intended to
take away the baby by force, resisted to the
best of her ability. Then the scene on the
street ensued
The Wakefield woman was then allowed
to tell her story, which was that the
mothers statement about placing the child
in her care was true, but that she had re-
ceived no money for the support of the baby
for the last year and half, and that the
little one had so grown into her heart that
she wished to adopt it and would give it a
good home.
When both the principals had finished,
Captain Hemmenway, in a few pungent
word, managed to convey great deal Of
meaning. He suggested an amicable adj
jtstment of the matter, and the child's
parent agreed to go to Wakefield next SUM-
day and receive the little one, and to pay
81 so out of her 50 weekly stipend until the
board bill of the little one shall have been
cancelled.
Then the Wakefield woman with the baby
started for home, the little one gazing with
wondering ewes over the shoulder of its
bearer at its mother, who, with red eyes
and sorrowing heart, turned her steps in
the opposite direction.

THE EUROPEAN BEET CROP.
With Good Weather It Promises to Exceed
That of Last Year.

LONDON, Sept II. - With improved
weather and sunshine, beet roots are pro-
crossing well everywhere. This is es-
pecially true as regards quality, which
seems to be superior to that of the 1890
crop. Favorable forecasts must be based
on continued fine weather, because the
weight, as yet, is below that of 1890, though
the quality makes up for the weight.
Some factories are working in Moravia
and Hungary, but the bulk will not be in
operation until October. 1t is expected
that Germany will produce yield almost
equal to that of 1890; that Austria's yield
will be in excess of that of 1890, and that
there will be a great increase in the yield
in France,

The Alleged Plan of a Military Surprise on
Russia's Part.

Russia's Part.
BERLIN, Sept. 12-The Hamburger Corre-
spoudc1t contains sensational article, en-
titled "The Cossack Stroke on the Bos-
phorus." According to this article, Russia
meditates surprise to Constantinople by a
conjoint landing of 10000 troops in Eu-
ropean and Asiatic Turkey. The Bophorus
forts, il is said, are TO be attacked from the
rear, and the approach of hostile fleets is to
be prevented by torpedoes, while it is calcu-
lated that a Russian torpedo feet could en-
ter The Golden Horn at night and COM
pletelY destroy the Turkish fleet, and that
The whole could be accomplished in "a
hours.
The article details experiments made in
embarking and landing troops on the Black
Sea, conducted under Gen. Roop, in 1885,
and the studying of the ground by Russian
officers on the OF, in the guise of searchers
