A CHICAGO SENSATION.
Millions of Money Lying Around Loose
somewhere

Chicago. June 22.-At a conference
held in the city comptroller's Office this
afternoon between that official, the cor
poration counsel and City Treasurer
k~iolneassa. it was determined to insti-
tutc mandamus proceedings in a day or
two on behalf Of the city comptroller to
compel County Treasurer Kearn to pay
over to the city all it's funds in his pos
session. The suit will also be begun
against him and his bondsmcn for debt
to recover the aforesaid sum with in
terest and declare his Office vacant. The
law requires the county treasurer to turn
over the city's funds to the city every
ten days. Kearn promised today to turn
over a million dollars before July |. He
said he did not know just how much of
the city's money he had on hand. Later
in the day Kearn turned over S5OO,O0O to
the city treasurer. City Comptroller
May says Kearn must have four or five
millions of the city's money, on which he
is drawing interest, but on the contrary
Kearn claims he has no such amount.
Pending the suit expert accountants will
be put at work to determine the exact
amount.

DlN's REVIEW.
The Crop and Trade Outlook Throughout
the Country.

NEw YORK, June 10. Il. G.. Dun ~
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
The whole crop reports continue remark
ably favorable. The volume of business
it has been in other years at this time.
This is in part because the exceptionally
hot weather at many points has induced
something like midsummer dizziness but
the more important cause undoubtedly
is that trade in many Branches has been
waiting for the certainty of improvement
and definite orders before undertaking
new risks. There is also some hesitation
owing to recent failures particularly in
Philadelphia. Credits have Deer more
cautiously given in the wooden and boot
and shoe trades and that has lessencd
the volume of transactions. Hence it is
encouraging to find there is actual i'm
provement in the demand and in the
consumption in several of the more i'm
portant trades and that manufacturers
already begin to feel the effects.
1t is important that all northwestern
and southwestern reports mention rain
and brighter crop prospects. 1t is
another hopeful indication that the de-
mand for manufactured iron and steel
improves. For structural iron there is a
rush of orders. Though dear iron is
only fairly active but plates are in good
demand. That u %stagnation is produced
in rails by a combination to hold up
prices is shown by the official report that
sales to June LIST this year were but 72G,-
$40 tons against 1.OS6,OOO to same date
last year and deliveries but 31,OOO tons
against 59S,00O last year. The wool
market at New York shows an improve
ment and larger demands by manu-
facturcrs.

be impressed by Mitchcll's words. for
he finally said that although he engaged
his passage to England on Saturdays

the match. agreeing to any terms that
might be named if Sullivan would forego
his trip to Australia. That is the way
matters stood early this morning. Sui
livan is under contract to go to Aus

He will return in three months
and can then go into training for the
fight. Slavin can go back to England
with his friends and he has already
promised to return to this country three
months from now SO that there is be-
lieved to be no obstacle in the way of

4 MYSTERIOUS DISArPEARANCE.
The Messenger of The Czarowitch Supposed
to BE Assassinated,

The Messenger of the Czarowitch Supposed
to BE Assassinated.
CHIC>Go. June ID a royal messenger
bearing important dispatches, sent from
Toxic by the czarowitch to the ear of
Russia, has mysteriously disappeared, it
is said. while en- route from San Fran
cisco to New York. The fact has been
kept d secret. and it is not certain that
the Russian government is yet aware of
it. G.. Waterman, member of the firm
of Grosser a. Co. of Iokahoma and Lon
don. was on the same Pacific Mail steam
ship which brought the messenger to
this country, and told of his disappear
ancc for the first time today at the Pal
mer house. where he and a number of
well known German and English mer-
chants of Japan and China registered on
their way from lokahoma to Europe.
According to Natcrman's account the
messenger intended making no stops,
leaving San Francisco for the east on the
day of his arrival there. Near Denver,
however. ii wreck delayed his
train and he stopped over night
in that city. He never resumed
the journey and has not been
since seen. There are many reasons
causing his steamer acquaintance to be-
lieve the young Russian has met IA
violent death at the hands of Japanese
enemies of the czarowitch. The most
important of these is the hitherto unpub-
lished truth regarding the attack upon
the life of the cZarowitch. Waterman
was in Toxic at the time and states
that the truth was never made known
because it showed too plainly the vicious
character of even the highest class of
japanese people. The attack was not
made, he says, because the Russian had
desecrated a sacred temple. The czaro-
witch had accepted an invitation
to visit a great noble at Toxic.
On the way there he yielded to
the opportunities of another noble to
visit him before reaching Toxic. His
host at the latter city believed this as an
insult. and his desire for revenge stopped
at nothing it is alleged, not even the
murder of his royal guest. An assassin
was therefore hired to kill the czarOwitch,
and the resulting attempt was given to
the world as the work of IA religious ia
matte.
From every stopping place the Ear
owitch sends duplicate dispatches to his
father by three trusted messengers who
take the most opposite routes. One of
these Immediately after the attempted
assassination was sent to st. Petersburg
by the way of the United States. The
theory advanced by Waterman and his
friends is that the authorities in "a weak
attempt at continuing the deception re-
garding the affair have intercepted and
put out of the way all the messengers
supposed to bear the news of the truth.

LONDON, June IS. The baccarat fer
ment is not quite owe yet. Cobb pro-
poses to ask Stanhope what the duke of
Cambridge intends to do to enforce the
anti -gambling regulations in the army
and what officers or men have been pun
ished for gambling. Regretting their
weakness in abandoning the hunt on
the prince of Wales, some other radicals
mean to raise the subject again on army
estimates. If the plans to sustain the
dcnunciation of the prince of Wales are
pursued liberal leaders will not only be
disassociated therefrom but Gladstone
privately states that he and his col
leagues must retaliate on the defamers.
The u~nconcealed disgust of the bulk of
the liberals over the proposed further
action of parliament in the direction of
censure of the prince may deter demo
cratic radicals nom following up the
