prince of Teck, who has been personating
Queen Victorias son-in-law in a way that
indicate unsoundness of mind, proves to
be an American whose real name is Held
lebourg, and a son of worthy parents in
the United States. His swindling has
been of such a clumsy character, and his
assumption Of the princely title so OBJ
viously bold and extravagant that the
authorities are inclined to accept the
plea Of his friends that he is insane.
When arraigned on an indictment at
the Old Bailey today, the bogus prince
pleaded guilty. He was represented by
counsel. engaged by his relatives, who
suggested that the prisoner was lunatic,
and should be treated as such. 1t was
shown by the prosecution that the pre-
tended prince had been previously con-
victed of fraudulent practices at Liver
pool.
Sentence was deferred in order to ena-
bic farther inquiry to be made as to his
antecedents and mental condition.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-It is officially stated
that a bullock landed at Deptford. from
New York, on October 7th, was suffering
at the time from pleuro pneumonia. The
animal was killed on October 18th and
found to have a diseased lung This
lung has been turned over to the United

warded to Washington as the best evil
dence that pleuro pneumonia is not ex-
tinct i'm the United States and that
danger still attends Imports from Amer

The London Times commenting upon
the incident, declares that Secretary
Rusk, of President Harrison's cabinet,
played game of bluff against England,
by threatening retaliation in case
American cattle should not be allowed to
land alive in Great Britain. Secretary
Rusk had officially declared on Septem
Der 26 that the United States was free
from pleuro pneumonia THE present
discovery, adds the Times. shows that

Denial From Washington.
LBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal.l
WARRINGTON, Oct. 19-Oficials in
charge Of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the agricultural department again
assert that there is no truth in the state
ment from London that an American
bullock was found to have the pleuro-
pneumonia. They advance the argu-
ment that if such were the case the dis
ease would not be confined to one animal
but would manifest itself in Others be-
fore this time.
The bullock in question has been traced
by its tag to Cincinnati, Ohio. To be on
the safe side the department will detail
an inspector TO visit the farm where II
came from to ascertain if pleurO-pneu
monia exists there No such disease
however has been found in that section
of the country for many years.
The department officials are Of the
opinion that the English inspectors have
mistaken catarrhal or bronchial pneu
monia for pleuro-pneumonia which they
say is caused by sea voyage. This trouble
they say. will always exist as long as cat
tie are shipped across the water.
