LONDON, December 9.-Application
was made to the governor of Working
Prison today to know if it is true that
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who is confined
there, is dying. An answer was received
that no information could be given with
out permission from higher authority.
1t was learned that Mrs. Maybrick's con-
dition was so critical on Tuesday last
that the governor of the prison tele-
graphed to the Baroness De Rogue,
Mrs, Maybrick's mother at Rouen, and
she arrived in England yesterday, and
proceeded to the prison. The sacrament
was made and Mrs. Maybrick made the
last confession of dying prisoner, which
in case of death, is legally attested and
given the prisoners next of kin. Mrs.
Maybrick swears that she was innocent
of moral intent in deed or act against
the life Of James Maybrick. The Bar
oness Rogue was only allowed to see her
daughter for a short time. Mrs. May
brick had several hemorrhages of the
lungs, which left her so weak that if
they occur again she will surely die. She
has been suffering from these hemor-
rhages for six weeks.

Mr.. Biaine's Health.

WASHINGTON, December S.-Repre-
sentative Hit of Illinois entertained last
night several members Of the family OF
Mr.. James G.. Blaine. Speaking of
Mr.. Blaine's condition, Mr.. Hitt said to-
day:
has improved very wonderfully in health.
He gets around the house and yesterday
he went out for drive. He is so much
better that he is saying his old bright
things in his old bright way. The fact
of the matter is that he has been dread
fully cut up over the death of his boy
Emmons. That explains his recent
gloominess and sadness. Coming so
soon after the death OF his eldest boy,
Walker, the blow was naturally severe
one. I hope to see Mr.. Blaine restored
to his usual vigor in a very short time"

Attorney General Mil1er's Report.

WASHINGTON, December 8.-Attorney
General Miller, in his report to Congress,
saws that the business OF the department
of Justice is continually and largely in
creasing, the increase being most notice
able in the court OF claims. Claims of
persons assuming to have been loyal dur
ing the war for the taking of ard injury
to property number between 5000 and
10000 and aggregate $400,000,O0o. For
Indian depredations over 5000 claims
have been filed representing $33, 900, 900.
A large proportion of the Southern
claims have no just foundation either in
fact or law. Three hundred and fifty
seven cases have been disposed of dur
ing the year, 275 in favor OF the claim
ants for about $1,500,00O. The French
spoliation cases yet undisposed OF num-
Der 1909 and amount to something like
S37, 100000.
The Attorney general says in regard
to supreme court decisions since his last
report, that he notes with pleasure that
the government was sustained in cases
involving the constitutionality Of the Nc
Kinley tariff act, the anti-lottery act, the
act for the classification of woolens and
worsteds, involving the constitutionality
of Speaker Reeds method of counting
quorum, and the Sayward Beriug Sea
case.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The failure of the
House and Land Investment Trust (Lim-

OF gigantic bank and building society sus-
pensions now involving liabilities approx
mating f6.0O0O0. The first failure an
nounced in this series was that OF the
London and General Bank (Limited); next

and Land Trust, at $1,000, 900.
Another great building and bank society
is involved in serious financial difficulty,
but suspension has not yet been an
nounced. The collapse of this concern
will shake the whole building society sys-
tenn in Great Britain. A run occurred to-
day on the Oldest and most prominent
bank in London. the Associated Work
mems Building Fund.
Although the suspensions must affect
the general financial position, singular
fact Is that the crisis causes no panic or
scare. The Limited Building investors are
all small capitalists whose life savings are
swept away or imperiled by the failure Of
the concerns. The losses which led to the
suspensions are chiefly traceable to in
judicious speculations and land blocks.
So far no suspicious of malversation have
been attached to the directors of any Of the
ruined companies. although the share
holders charge them with concealing the
true position of the institutions. Although
finance in the meantime is unaffected by
the widespread ruin brought on the small
investors. the disaster must soon cause
strain upon the big banks.
