WARRINGTON, April l2.-Secrttary
Tracy has been overwhelmed all day
with kilograms and calls from Senators
and others protesting against the L. =.
steamer Mohican being put in
the British dry dock at
Esquimalt, British Columbia.
Commodore Ramsay said to- day that
the Navy department was not aware
that the Moihican was not in dock un-
til SO informed by her commander, who
was doubtless as ignorant of the fact
that there was dry dock at Tacoma,
Washington, as were the officials of the
Navy department. When the Moihican
broke her false keel, it was simply a
question whether she should return
to San Francisco, 800 miles or pro-
ceed to Esquimault. The vessel, of
course, put into the nearest port when
it was known there was a dock BY
this time, Commodore Ramsay said,
the vessel had doubtless been repaired
and would proceed on her way North

that it would turn over. There was
a rush of spectators to assist Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone. The venerable couple
both remained cool. Mr.. Gladstone
alighted as quietly as if he were at the
door of Hawarden hall. He then
gracefully assisted Mrs. Gladstone out,
and hailing passing cab, helped Mrs.

riage and loaded on the cab. Mr..
Gladstone gave glance to see that
the fallen horse was being humanely
attended to and then entering the cab

4 Gigantic Land Swinilc.

CHICAGO, Aug Cone of the largest
swindles ever attempted in Chicago
has just been unearthed. 1t appears
that title deeds have been forged COW
ering land valued at from $750,000 to
81 100000 and belonging to Mrs. Hetty
R. Green, said to be the richest woman
in the world. The forged deeds are
still in the hands of the forgers, so far
as is known. 1t was the attempt to
borrow money on some of the property
and dispose of other tracts of it through
the forged paper that the truth became
known. 1t is believed that the forgers
have gained nothing as yet. Through
the filing ola bill in chancery to quiet
a title to the property Mrs. Green's
interests have been protected.
