Gefrcken Says Russia is Bankrupt.

LONDON, June 5.-Professor Geffcken
lectured at the German exhibition last
evening on the subject of Russian finances.
The lecturer gave a startling array of sta
tistics, showing the bankrupt condition of
the Russian agricultural class. the stagna-
tion existing in industries, and the over
whelming indebtedness of the state. He
warned investors that the failure of the
last loan was the bursting of the bubble,
and declared that Russia must reform her
corrupt administration and preposterous
fiscal policy and abandon her aggressive
foreign policy.

ward ]. Seaton, bookkeeper in Charles III.
Dodd & Co.'s agricultural house in this
city, has mysteriously disappeared. This
morning when Richard Smitten, the man
ager, went to the house he was informed
that Seaton had not been around. Think
ing he might be i'll, no attention was paid
to the matter until noon, when smitten
concluded to go to Seaton's room. Upon
entering the room Mr.. Smitten found that
the bed had not been occupied during the
night. He then went to the restaurant
where Seaton had been taking his meals,
but Seaton had neither been to breakfast
nor lunch. There is no reason why Seaton
should go away, as the books are all right.
Seaton had been slightly i'll for several
months and has been taking great deal
of medicine, and it is supposed has sud-
denly become slightly deranged in mind,
and while in that state wandered away.
He was q prominent member Of Walla
Walla lodge, f. and A. NJ, of this city,
and his brethren are doing all they can TO
solve his mysterious disappearance.
