M'KINLEY RUINED.
All of His Property Will Be
Swallowed Up in the Walker
Failure.
Friends Taking Steps to Render
Him All Necessary Finan-
cial Aid.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. 18.-Gov.
Mckinley left here this morning for
Cleveland. utterly broken-hearted. The
Walker failue is growing, as far as liza
bilitieS are concerned, and it is now
known that the governor is surely Oh at
least $4,000 worth of notes given by
Robert Walker. A detailed statement of
the notes. which will be given out as
soon as possible, will not change this
amount very much. The governor does
not know how much the notes will ag-
glegate, nor which ones have been paid.
He paid implicit confidence in Walker,
who never failed to use him. The
governor is not worth more that $40, 900
or $4,000. and the payment of these
notes will leave him financial wreck.
Friends here, WHO are the richest men
IN the valley, have undertaken to raise
the amount for which the governor has
obligated himself, and loan it to him on
his personal notes. thus giving him time
to recover. The amount has been raised
and is ready to be applied as soon as
the liabilities are known definitely.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 1S.--Goy. Nc
Kinley passed through Cleveland this
afternoon. When asked what he could
say regarding the Walker failure at
Youngstown, which is said to seriously
involve him financially, the governor
replied: 81 don't know anything more
about it than is published in this morn
iDg's papers. l do know that it is bad
enough. But it is an entirely private
matter, and | must beg to be excused
from an interview"

Within few hours later the young
mans auburn hair was streaked with
gray. But the bright eyes are beaming
again, and the DaubensQue family is re-
joicing again.
The story recalls that authentic, if
strange. incident which occurred in
France in 1910. Mile. Victorine La
fourcade. rich and beautiful, was loved
by Julien Bossuet, poor journalist,
and by banker named Revelle. She
chose the latter, and a few years later
died. The romantic journalist, longing
for one more glimpse of the woman he
loved, opened her tomb and cut off a
lock of her hair. just then Il moon
beam fell full in her face. The lover
started back. The eyes were wide
open and seemed to implore him.
The bare possibility of life made him
forget his fears, and he removed her to
a neighbering village, where she shortly
after ward returned to life, and to d
knowledge of her love for the journalist.
The pair lived in America for twenty
years, the husband believing her dead.
When she and BoSsuet then returned to
France they met Revelle accidentally.
He recognized her and claimed her as
his wife. The courts decided that the
peculiar circ umstanceS of the case had
broken all bonds between them, both in
law and equity.

HIS LIFE SAVED BY NERVE
How a PIucky Englishman Went
Unarmed Among Savages.

New York Sun.
Capt. F. g. Dundas, of the royal
navy, who has just returned to England
from his expedition up the Juba yer,
tells of the danger he faced among the
Somalis, who are perhaps the most in
veterate enemies OF the white race in
Africa. The captain assembled the river
for 36O miles on the little steamer
Kenia. 1t is the first time this Journey
has been made since August 1866, -whe Ii
Baron Won der Decken attained tn e
same point. His vessel was wrecke d
there, and the baron and five of his E u
rOpean colleagues were murdered by
the Somalis, only two Of the party es-
Gaping.
When the British admir- atty was con-
ductlng SoundingS and mapping the
coast line of East Africa the indomit-
able Somalis sat by the thousands along
the beach, silently watching operati ons
and making no hostile move ment unless
the white men undertook to land. On
such occasions the Somalls plainly told
them if they landed they would be
killed to a man, 1t was the same
people whom Dundas and his Ii tile
party encountered as he assembled the
Jupa river in July last. When he
reached Berdera, his furtheSt point, he
found the whole bank swarming with
natives. His crew, in terror, begged
Dundas to turn back. He made the
boat fast. however, to the right bank

ANA scandal has reached the point
where it depends upon the arrival of
Arton. The aversion of the government
to capturing a man who possesses such
damaging evidence of the bribery Of
104 deputies has been revealed in a
stronger light by the publication Of the
story Of his life in Bucharest while the
Paris police were supposed to be doing
their utmost to catch BIN. The first
evening after his arrival in Bucharest
Arton passed at music hall, where he
became acquainted with Miss Lille
Mers, the principal song and dance art
lst OF the resort. He introduced hIm-
self as German prince travelling incog-
nitO, and threw money about SO law
ishly that he at once obained her
as favorite. 'fhe next day he
placed her in elegant apartments, then
bought her carriage and pair, and sub
sequently drove with her daily in public
parks. Three days after his arrival he
was the most conspicuous civilian in
the Roumanian capital, and because of
his enormous expenditure of money and
his success with Miss Mers was the sub
iect of gossip in all the clubs. He made
no effort to disguise himself, but wore
the same closely cropped beard and the
same striking garments which he had in
Paris. The Bucharest police were SO
sure of his identity that they at once
leiegraphed a description of him to Paris
and decided to have him before the at
tention OF the French embassy, but they
received no answer from either source.
Arton monopoliZed the attention of the
gay world for three weeks. spent
10000 francs OH Miss Mers and
then left to return, he said, OH March /.
Upon leaving her he gave her 5000
francs worth OF, diamonds. When he
had time to get over the border two
police inspectors from Paris arrived,
confScated few unimportant papers
in Miss Mers' apartments, and, with
out making inquiry as to Arton'S where
aboutS or further particulars, returned
to France. The mIsSion Of the police
was purely perfunctory, intended
merely to impress the people of France
with the idea that the government was
straining every nerve to probe the
scandal. After such all exhibition OF
Indifference NEST people iii Paris and
other European capitals believe that all
chance Of full exposure is past and the
Panama incident may be regarded as
closed.

of a century after his death the consti-

Slept the Sleep OF Death,
while Tories and Wings in the house of
commons found no remedy for single
one of the evils of their country and ac-
cepted the rewards of perfidy and trea-
son in well-paid Offices.
In 1880 America and Australia threw
themselves into the struggle. From
that hour the parliamentary movement
never really looked back. Aided by the
generosity Of our people and friends
abroad, the cause of home rule found
honest, faithful, courageous representa-
tives, not one of whom during all
the strain of thirteen years accepted pay
or places from the British government.
These representatives fought and con-
quered coercion. They fought and con-
quered forgery. They broke successive
hostile demonstrations, until at last
they find themselves friends and allies
of the greatest of British states
men, and the strongest OF
British parties. They ask now that they
may be enabled. from the same power
ful and generous people, to bring to
consummation their laborS and their
principles. Borne by the generosity of
their race through the long night they
ask now for the aid required for the
brief interval that still stands between
Ireland and her breaking day.

Chicago Tribune.
Should there happen to be baby in
the family, and yet at the same time an
unp easantshrinkage in the family bank
account, so that nurse girl is regarded
as an I'M possibility, don't be discouraged.
Get an old-fashioned clothes basket
made of twisted willow, line it with
thickly wadded. quilten, or ttlfted silk,
Just as you prefer. Then put the basket
on the floor and this time, instead OF fill
ing it with clothes, just gently drop in the
baby. The basket is peculiarly adapted
to the needs of baby who is just learn
ing to stand alone. Its chief merit con-
sists in its safety, Tor when the baby is
once inside it cannot possibly be
harmed, and may stand up Or sit down
according to its own sweet youthful
will. The basket from which this idea
is taken was lined with faint shade of
pink wadded silk. the outside and ham
dies being silvered. A rattle tied to
the basket and rag doll were its sole
decorations, and these were quite suffi-
cient, according to the baby'S idea.
With one Of these baskets in the nursery
the baby may be safely left alone for a
short time and be amused as we'll.

BACK FROM THE TOMB.
A Handsome Youth Consigned to
the Grave Rescaed From Death.


New York Recorder.
ALI the horrors imagined by Poe In
his weird tales of cataleptics buried as
dead and returning to life in the tomb
are recalled by an incident which has
just occurred in the picturesque old
town. of Caen, France. Here. however,
the story lacks Poe's blood-curdling con-
cluSiOnS,
Felix Daubeuesque is handsome
youth of twenty, whose noble birth.
manly bearing and daredevil reputa-
tion have won him tender glances from
many pair of bright eyes. The female
population all went into mourning,
accordingly, when it was announced a
few weeks ago that the poor fellow had
died Of the prevalent typhus, after
short illness. This happened on
Sunday; the burial was announced for
: the next Tuesday and took place at the
given time. Only, as the family vault
was not ready, the coffin was tempo
rarily placed in grave.
The tomb was opened Wednesday,.
Still, the vault not yet ready, the coffin
was removed to the old parish church
and guard was set to watch it at night.
The watcher was slightly doing in the
mornings early hours when he was
awakened by sounds issuing from the
coffin. With wild idea that the ghost
OF Daubenesque was pursuing him, he
ran shrieking from the spot. His cries
were heard by others, who investigated
his story and distinguished muff1cd
cries coming from the coffin.
When it was carried into the presby-
terry and the lid was removed Dauben-
esque suddenly sprang out and to the
floor. Ris face was Iiyid, his hands
clenehed, his teeth set. On his forehead
stood great drops Of perspiration. While
the listeners stood aghast, he related
that he had fallen Into a lethargy and
only recovered consciousness fer ours
before, when he realized his position
and at once began to Shrek like mad
man. But fvs minutes tai elapsed

ex-Queen'S representative, was in an
other partof the building in consultation
with Acting Secretary Wharton, of the
state department, with whom he had
long talk concerning the object of his
visit. MIR. Wharton could, OF course, do
nothing, and Mr. Neuman expressed
himself as satisfied that his only chance
for successfully representing the claims
of the ex-queen lay through the medium
of congress. Prince David said:

AGRARIAN REVOLF.
Land Owners Protest Against the
Commercial Treaties Policy.

Land Owners Protest Against the
Commercial Treaties Policy.
BERLIN, Feb. Is. The revolt of the
agrarian party in the reichstag and
landstag against Chancellor Won Cap.
rivi's commercial treaties policy has
been oratorically violent, but so far
without practical result. The mainte-
nance of the policy which he initiated is
necessary to the chancellor'S political
existence. The past weeks develop
mentS disclosed unexpected strength
and earnestnesS on the part of the agra
rams. The debates in parliamentWere
a prelude 10 great agricultural con-
gresS which opened today in Tivoli hall,
Berlin. Nearly 4,000 delegates, repre-
senting all parts of the empire, were
present on the opening of the congress.
The windows Of the meeting hall were
thrown open in order that dense mass
of people outside might eateh some
thing of what was said by the speakers.
Vivacity and eager interest i'll the sub
iectS discussed characterized the vast
audience.
Herr vnn Ploetz, in his opening adj
dress. referred to the depression in all
agriculture, and ended with call for
cheers TOT the KAISER ana IOr Gile Gef-
man princes. The assemblage further
testified to its loyalty by resolving to
telegraph its greetings to the kaiser.
Then a resolution was carried by accla-
nation which. while declaring that the
farmers of Germany were prepared to
male any sacrifice that would tend
to secure the military strength
of the empire, affirmed that the COM
mercial treaties concluded with foreign
countries jeopardzed the existence of
agriculture at home, and that the con-
ceding of further advantages to foreign
imports would do intoierabIe injury to
nome industry, and the relchstag was
therefore besought to refuse 10 assent
to further reductions of customs duties,
while bearing i'll mind the expediency
of fostering the expectation of German
produce.

Report of the Committee
Which Examined the
Il Northern Pacific.
sW
It Is Anything But Favor
able to the Manage
ment.
Sale Of the st. Paul & North
ern Pacific Stock Con-
$50 demned.
It Will Take From the Treas
~ ury It's Important Re-
naming Assets.

New YORK, Feb. 1S.-The investigat-
ing committee appointed some time ago
to look into the physical and financial
condition of the Northern Pacific prop
erty gave out the result of its inveStiga-
tion this afternoon. The report is any,
thing but favorable to the management.
In statement to the stockholders. the
committee says:
''It is by no means clear that it is a
necessity, for the Northern Pacific
company to part with its st. Paul q
Northern Pacific stock. 1t has
been the unanimous opinion of
its directors for years that the latter
road should be under the complete
and undisputed control of the Northern
Pacific and one of the objects of issue
OF consolidated bonds was the possession
of this stock. The sale of the stock will
take from the Northern Pacific treasury
its most important remaining assets.
"It Will also set free the
bonds now pledged for the
floating debt and leave them at the dis
posal of the present financial manage
ment. There is no reason to believe
that they will not be used, as others
nave been, to promote schemes
which still involve loss to the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
In other words, by this sale the man
agement can continue its previous
course and incur fresh liabilities, so
that at the expiration of the directors
term of office they can turn over to
their successors road with an embar-
raSsed treasury, weighted down with
additional unprofita BILE leases"

Clews, Brayton Ives and Jay Cooke Jr.,
