FROM LONDON TOWN.
PHILIP SCH5iG AND F3AaK FLOYD
ExPEcTED BACK ToJAK
A VERY SAD HOMECOMING.

Marked by No Flourish of Trump
cts or Blare Of Brass Bands
Probability That scheig Will
Plead Guilty-Aileged Falling
Out With the Floyds-A Ru-
NOR Denied.
Should no unforeseen circumstance
prevent, today will witness the ar
rival in Minneapolis of Philip Scheig,
the defaulting teller of the Bank
of Minneapolis, and his boon compan-
ion, Frank Floyd. The return of thece
erstwhile gilded youths to the scene of
their former pleasures VIII be marked
by no flourish of trumpets or braying Of
brass bands. but, on the contrary, twill
be attended with shame and humiiia-
ton on their own parts. and aching
hearts on the part Of their relatives and
friends. 1t will be sad homecom'
ing for the young men who
once stood so high in the
community, and who have sowed the
wind only to reap the whirlwind, and to
those who have kept track OF their
career since leaving this city the moral
is obvious and tells its own story. AS
stated in the published kilograms, a
statement or confession was made by
Scheig upon the arrival of the prisoners
and detectives from Europe, and it is
thought that ne will enter a plea of
guilty and throw himself upon
the mercy or the court. The
Floyds will demand a tIial, the
defense being that they were not aware
that the money was stolen, and as they
and Scheig have fallen out. some inter-
estinR developments may be looked for.
No reliance is placed in the statement
of an evening paper to the effect that
the friends of Scheig had gone East
with the view OF attempting mis- rescue.
Vice President Clough, OF the bank.
will join the party at Chicago and
accompany them to this city. The re-
port that the bank would levy upon the
property of the late Cashier Botferding
TO satisfy claims growing out of Short
| age of funds while he was cashier is
also denied.
THEY LEFT CHICAGO.
Superintendent of Police Smith re-
ceiyed telegram last night from De-
tectives Hoy and Lawrence that they
would leave Chicago at 1880 2. In. on
the Milwaukee road.
IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Phillip Scheig,
the defaulting paying teller of the
Bank of Minneapolis, who left that city
last September, and the discovery Of
whose thefts followed closely after
ward. passed through the city tonight in
company with his friend Frank Floyd.
The men were in charge of Detectives

parently went to sleep.
About a quarter to 3 one of the jailerS

peculiar and unnatural attitude. Upon
examining him the jailer found that he

HOUSE SESSION.
Admission of Utah and War
Claim Questions Considered.


Claim Questions Considered.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE session
of the house was brief and uninterest-
ing today. Several bills of minor i'm
pOrtanee were passed during the morn
ing hour, and an agreement was reached
by which tomorrow aud Wednesday
will be devoted to the consideration of
the bill for the admission of the terri
tory of Utah. The bill to review the
claims arising out Of the captured and
abandoned property act aroused The
partisan opposition Of the Republicans.
and notice was served on the Democrat
lie side by Mr.. Reed that this bill could
only be considered under the stress of
special order from the committee on
rules. The remainder of the session
after the expiration of the morning
hour was devoted to District of Column
bia matters.
Mr.. Boatner, of Indiana, secured the
passage of bill granting authority to
the New Orleans d Fort Natehez rail-
ROAD to construct two bridges across the
Bocuff river in Louisiana.
The morning hour having expired,
Mr.. Kilgore, of Texas, was about to call
up the bill for the admission of u tab,
when Mr.. Dingley. on behalf of the
Republican side, made a statement de-
claring that the bill was of too much
Importance to be considered in the
morning hour, but no objection would
be made from his side If ample oppor-
tunity was allowed for debate and
amendment.
Thereupon Gen. Wheeler asked unan-
| ImouS consent that tomorrow and
Wednesday after the morning hour be
set aside for Its consideration, and with
out objection this order was made.
4 bill fixing the time and places of
holding federal courts in Nebraska was
| passed
Mr.. Culberson called up bill to re-
.ive the act for the collection Of claims
| arising under the captured and abau-
| doned property act for the purpose, if
\ possible. of effscung an agreement as to
its consideration.
Mr.. Reed refused TO allow the agree
nent to be made, and the bill was with
| drawn.
A bill was passed making 1t compul-
sorry for ali steam vessels of 1000 tons
| burthen to have, when under way, one
engineer and one helper in the engine
room, and all such vessels TO carry two
| licensed engineers. The bill by its
provisions is not applicable to ferry
boats which run less than ten hours
daily.
Mr.. McRae, of Arkansas, called ND a
bill instructing the secretary of the in
terror to reserve from sales out of the
abandoned Fort Cummings military
reservation, in New Mexico, SO much
land as is necessary to insure a per
petual spring of water for the use OF
the public and the Rio Grande, Mexico
& Pacific railroad. Without objection
1t was passed.
The house then took up the measures
affecting the District Of Columbia, and
al 8 80 adjourned.

THE HAW ADAMS.
Japan Will Not Assume a Pro.
tectorate Over Them.

WASHINGTON. Dec. lit can be
stated positively that Japan has no pur-
pose of assuming protectorate over
Hawaii in case the United States should
lose orsabandon its status there Re-
ports have been persistently circulated
of late as TO Japau's intentions Of adj
vancing her control of the islands. and
in statement published today Henry
Smith, of Buffalo, who has just returned
FROM Hawaii, says that if the provis-
ional government retires twill be suc-
ceeded by protectorate by japan or
Great Britain. At the japanese lega-
ton here this statement was declared
TO be visionary, and a statement was
made regarding the matter so far as
Japan is concerned. A Japanese war
ship was sent to Honolulu some time
ago in order TO insure protection
during these critical times to the
10000 Japanese on the islands. This, it
is stated, was not step toward quir-
ing or controlling Hawaii. as it is not to
the interest of Japan TO extend her
present governmental relations with the
Islands. They are fourteen days sail
from Japan, and she has no other pos
sessions in that locality which would
make Hawaii valuable to her as STRAIT
egic naval station.
Moreover, it was added, the interests
of Japan undoubtedly viii be best
served by maintaining her present rela-
tons with Hawaii. These are guaran-
teed by treaty, and give the japanese
on the islands many privileges and as
surances of protection which Japan
would not dare TO disturb. the treaties
were made during the reign of the
queen, but they have been fully lived
up to by the provisional government, sc
fully so that Japanese immigration to

LOST SENSE OF SOUND.
He Can Not Identify Words and
Noises.

Indianapolis Journal.
During the last week two of the most
prominent physicians of this city were
called into consultation on case which
appear TO be entirely new to the pro-
fession, and for the peculiaries of which
they are unable to find any satisfactory
reason. The victim of the strange af-
Fiction is boy. about six years of age,
whose parents reside south of the city.
Nearly one year ago he suddenly lost
his speech and hearing, and, after be-
ing treated by the local physicians, II
was decided that he would be perman-
emily deaf and dumb. though no
functional trouble could be detected
and the organs of speech were appar-
emily perfect. After two or three weeks
his speech and hearing returned as sud-
denly as they had been lost.
Two weeks ago he again became deaf
and dumb, and his father brought him
here for consultation. In the examina-
ton no abnormal condition of the organs
was discovered, and every test known
to the profession was made, out not the
slig htest defect could be discovered.
But nothing could induce him TO speak,
and no noise, however sudden and
unexpected, attracted his attention. A
pistol fred at the back Of his head failed
to even startle him, and he appeared
UNCONSCIOUS of everything going on
around him unless it fell under his
sight. When his attention was appar-
emily engrossed by the pictures in the
room one of the physicians suddenly
jumped to his side and called his name,
but ne gave no evidence of hearing, and
when objects were pointed out and
questions asked he made no response.
After trying every known test and
making thorough examination for Or
ganic trouble without finding anything
abnormal, the physicians arrived at the
conclusion that il was case of complete
suspension of the faculties of the mind,
so far as sound and speech are con-
cerned. They believe that the patient
can both hear and speak, but that sound

The grand jury all day Saturday, and
John Day Smith, the attorney for Van
Ltuven, has returned to the city. In
speaking OF the case Mr.. Smith saws:
Il am entirely in the dark. Except in
a general way don't know what the
charges against my client are. nor what
the evidence is. Mr.. Van Leuven is
confident that they can find nothing
against him that is not merely tech
meal, and that none of the indictments
they may find will hold. These special
pension agents and deputy marshals
have raked over Iowa and Minnesota
with fine tooth comb for evidence, and
If they can find nothing worse than the

the result | do not know how to char
acterize the outrageous and h'g h-handed

HIS OLD RECORD.

Something OF Editor Smith. Whom
Wilson Threatened TO Assassi-
nate.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 10.-Walter G
Smith. editor of the Hawaiian Star, who
has got himself into considerable
trouble with ex-Marshal Wilson. is not
unknown in California. He came to
this state from Ithaca, n. Y, in 1886
bringing with him small newspaper
plant and locating in San Diego. Dur
ing the boom in Southern California he
published weekly paper, but could not
make it pay and abandoned it for posi-
ton on another paper. He afterward
became editor of the Sun, an evening
paper. and while in that position made
many enemies by his bitter attacks. 1t
was while occupying this post sslat John
K. Berry, editor of the Union, exposed
a fillbustering scheme of Smiths which
was intended to eliminate i'll the cap
ture of
LOWER CALIFORNIA.
Berry employed an Eastern newspa-
per man named Harris to pretend to be
in sympathy with Smiths project, and
in this way became his confidant. Har-
riS obtained all the inside information
then the Union came out with a page
article that gave the minuteSt details
OF the would-be conQueror'S plans. No
one seriously thought that an eXpedi-
ton such as had been planned by Smith
could be successfully carried out. but,
nevertheless, there were quite num-
Der associated with him who hoped for
rewards of large parcels of land on the
peninsula. The plan was to smuggle
enough arms anu ammunition on board
steamer for the purpose, land a suffi
Gent number Of men at Eusenada to
overcome the small detachment OF
MEXICAN SOLDIERS
there and then establish a provisional
government, with, of course, w. q.
Smith al the head. Once. there, Smith
maintained, neither the Mexican nor
the United States governments would
dare dispute their right to the territory
to the west of the Gulf of California.
But John r. Berry, who afterward be-
came collector of the port of San Diego.
upset the entire project by his timely
publication, and Smith and those asso-
clated with him became the laughing
stock of all. After considerable litiga-
ton over an interest in the Sun, which
Smith claimed TO have, he was beaten
in the courts, and then fell back Old his
old Ithaca plant, and for a while two
San Diego Suns were shining stimuli
taneously. But clouds lowered con-
stantly and persistently about the one
that got Its effuigence from Walter q.
Smith, and it was soon abandoned.
Smith then came TO San Francisco, Sc
cured position on a morning paper,
and was assigned to work in the city
hall. When the political rupture oc-
Cured in Honolulu Smith went there,
and almost ever since his arrival he has
been in the heat of turmoil by the rea-
son of his bitter attacks upon the roy
alisrs
