MONTGOMERY IS ALIVE.

He Was Supposed to Have Been
 Killed Near New York and the
 Body Was Identified by His SIster,
 Mrs. Inglesby of This City-He Is In
 an Asylum in Baltimore.
 BALTIMORE, March 11.-Thomas Mont gomery is alive, notwithstanding the fact that the Industrial Life Insurance company of New York recently paid $500 insurance on his life on the supposition that he was killed in railroad accident near New York last September. Montgomery's sister, Mrs. Ellen Inglesby of New Haven, Conn.,, got the money on the policy. She identified the body of some other man ss that of her brother.
 Montgomery says he left New Haven eighteen months ago and after a short stay in New York came to Baltimore. Captain Lewis of the Bay View asylum, states that Montgomery was admitted there last Octo- Der.
 "Tom is hers," said the general supsrin- tendent of the asylum. "His sister, Mrs. Inglesby, wrote me two months ago from Connecticut asking If her brother was here. She said she had heard story to suot CAcCk, bue dl0 AOt boll0fo bhcIc Wdb any truth in 1t, as she felt confident her brother had been run over by railroad cars in New York last September. inter- viewed Tom; asked who he knew in New Haven, and he answered that his sister lived there, giving her accurate ad- dress and other evidences that he was tell | ing the truth.
 'I wrote the lady and informed her her brother was here. She seemed to doubt | the statement and wrote to Purveyor Me- Elroy making further inquiry.

SCANDAL IN BERLIN.

1t Is of Social and Political Nature
 and Is of Growing Dimensions.
 BERLIN, March 1.-The Kiadderdatsch, Germany's Punch, has raised social and political scandal of growing dimensions by 8 tacking violently Count Philip Eulen- berg. Pruss:an ambassador to Bavaria, and Freiherr von Molstsin and Freiherr von Kidlen- -Waechtsr, heads of departments in the foreign office. The trouble has been brewing for months. It began with series or articles concerning trio of noblemen in the state service who were said to have melted CouKt Harry von Arnim's son to his onslsught on Prince Bismarck. The Kladdeadrtsch discussed the conspiracy at great length, although the titled officials were mentioned only as fictitious names. Every article closed, however, with chal- l lenRe to any and sll of the trio to begin libel proceedings at once.
 l As the facts leaked out the Bismarckiau l rewspspers named Freiherr von Holsteiu ! as one of the conspirators. ho1stein pro fessed injured innocence and sent friend | to Count Herbert Bismarck to ask if hs knew who melted the Klsdderdatsoh's ct tscks. Count Herbert disavowed al
 responsibility for the lampoons.
 Now Maximilian Hsrden's Zuckunft
 which derives occasional inspiration iron Freidrichsruhe, says 1t has materials {,

 asserted and much moro conosrninl

 agement in the foreign office and affect ur

A RUPTURE THREATENS.

Rudolph BenniGseD, . Member of
 the Reichstag, Will Retire From
 That Body Because Of the Constant
 QuarrelinG.
 BERLIN, March 11.-Rudolph von Ben niRssn, member of the Reichstag for the eighteenth district of Hanover, president of the province of Hanover and leader of the national liberal party, had decided to resign all his offices and retire to private life.
 Dr. Won Bsnnigsen's ostensible reason for leaving public life is that his health ia poor. The truth Is that he has become disgusted with the unmannerly proceed ings in the Reichstag since men of the Sigl and Ahlwardt stripe began making them selves conspicuous in the debates. There Ia, moreover, considerable bad feeling ir the national liberal party.
 A rupture threatens, and as Bennigsen fl in his seventieth year he feels no longer equal to the task of reconciling the war ring factions. He has been in public lif' almost from the year when he left the uni ! versity and has been sitting in German psriauents for forty ysszs,

OPINION ON BIMRTALLIsNI.

Edward Atkinson Says the True
 Policy of the Government Would Be
 10 Do Away With All Acts of Legal
 Tender and Freely Coin Gold and
 Silver.
 BOSTON, March 11.-In an interview to be published in the Herald tomorrow Ed ward Atkinson, the well-known ststisti- cian, gives his opinion on bimstallism. He said in part:
 "I long since came to the conclusion that both gold and silver have been depre- ciated by the great additions to the gold supply of the world, subsequent to the discoveries in California and Australia. Silver has been yet more deprecisted In re- recent years-psrtly by disuss in bank re- serves; partly by excess of production In ration to the continued use in other coun- gold by which it has been displaced in bank reserves, mainly by q great reduction in the cost of mining, ,smelting and producing silver bullion.
 "The true policy of this country would be to do away with all acts of legal tender, and to freely coin dollars made of gold or muItiples of dollar ss now and also to coin other discs made of silver under the name of thaler, ounce or any other name. Each person would then conduct his busl- meas as he pleased in terms of dollars or thalers or ounces and no one could then be cheated by cheap dollars forced into circulation under the legal tender ac.s, a danger which we have not yet escaped. Anyone who wanted to make contracts In | sflvar cor1d dn and ha JSv could provide itself with silver coins" "Then you find no coincidence in the re- | duction of prices of goods and wares of va- rious kinds and the reduction in the prfcs of silverl' asked the reporter.
 | "No,D replied Mir. Atkinson. 'The gen eral interest of the community Is in low prices and high wages. Cheap labor lead, to high prices and lew wages- Wnatevel disturbance may be caused in other part
 of the world by the parting of silver from gold we are ct least free and independent The United States now holds the power t demand payment for its foods and nbrei
 which Europe must buy on our own term
 in money of the highest purchasing power
 to wit, in gold or Its equivalent.
 "The effect of an international treaty O
 alternate or bimetallic legal tender, mis called bimetallism, would be to give Euro psan debtor nations an option to pay us ii
 silver rather than in gold, while we shoui,
 by the same treaty deprive ourselves of ou

A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company
 nanciaI Institutions or the world.
 A grand company splsndidly managed, with a magnificent showing of assets, is the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York city, as Is we'll known in the financial world. This celebrated com pany, of which our esteemed townsman MT. John ". Nishols is general agent for New Haven, celebrated its semi-csntennisl anniversary in 1893, and the event will be memorable as being one of the most sue oessful in 6 business point of view that the company has ever experienced. The aseets of the company amount to SlS6, 707. 6S0. fl. and the liabilities $16S. 755, 07l.23. There Is an increase of sil 623, 52S 43 in the assets. During 1898 the pol icy holders in the Mutual Life Insurance company received S20, Ss5, ,472 40 against $19, ,SS6, ,5S2 48 in 1892. The Mutual Life has new policies in force insuripg $S03. : 2S4 S3S.46
 The report shows increased receipts of $1 TIA ,279 94 and an increased surplus of $2. 7s4, ,3e4 97.
 The surplus fund for the payment of dividends and to insure the policy holder against every possible future emergency If added to the enormous amount paid out in dividends to policy holders In past years, would largely exceed the surplus sccumu lations of any similar institution in the world.

SPEECH OF THE QUEEN.

It VIII be Read to Parliament To-day
 and In 1t She Recommends Relief of
 the Evicted Tenants in Ireland.
 LONDON, March 1.-The queens speech which will be read to parliament to.mor- TOW is, e was predicted, much briefer than usual. Her majesty copgratulstes the members upon the continuance of Great Britain's friendly relations to the power. She mentions the satisfactory conclusion of the Behring sea arbitration as especially gratifying. She refers to the Anglo Rus sian negotiations concerning frontiers in Middle Asia and the Anglo Chinese ar- rangements ss regards the borders of Bur nah and expresses her regret for the en- counter between French and British forces near Warina, northwest Africa. The en- counter Is mentioned as lsmentable acci- dent.
 The speech proposes in domestic politics the expected program with two or three additions. The measures recommended are the abolition of plural voting, the ex- tension of Scotch local government, the organization of boards of conoiliation to settle labor troubles. the amendment of the factory acts, the disestablishment of the church in Wales, the relief of the evicted tenants in Ireland, and registration re- form.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS. The Bland Seigniorage Bill Will be Before the Senate and the Sundry Appropriation Bill in the House.


 Before the Senate and the Sundry
 Appropriation Bill in the House.
 WASHINGTON, March 1I.-Under agree ment the Bland seigniorage bill in the form in which 1t passed the house will come up in the senate after the morning hour to- morrow and will hold It's place as un- finished business until Wednesday at 9 p. m., when the vote is to bs taken on MT. Allison's motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was read the third time and put upon It's passage. The motion falling. the motion to commit will be voted upon and that failing debate is to bs continued under the five minute rule until Thursday at 3 o'clock, when the vote is to be taken on the final passage of the bill. Should Mir. Allison's motion prevail the final vote will be taken at the same time, but the bill would in the meantime bs open to amend ment.
 It Is unlikely that the finance committee will be able to report the tariff bill to the senate this week, as the members of that | committee are all more or less interested in the seigniorage bill and will be anxious to 1 be in the senate during the debate. This leaves but two hours from 10 to 12 daily for ! committee work and not much hesdway l can be made in that short time.
 The sundry appropriation bill will en- gross the attention of the house nearly all the week. This bill includes all the sp- propriations of the government not in. cluded in the five general department ap. propristion bills and measures pertaining | to Indians and rivers and harbors.
 It is the omnium gstherum of all the odds and ends and is the only bill into which 8 new appropriation can be injected without running the risk of being throwr out on point of order. Consequently il is bill upon which discussion lasts long. est and to which amendments are mos
 numerous.
 Secretary Smith has issued an orde,
 transfering the Indian warehouse iron
 New York to Chicago. and the northwest
 ern members of the house want the ware
 house divided between Chicago and Omahs
 the former to be the purchasing station and the latter the distributing station, ant want declaration to that effect in the In
 dian appropriation bill.
