MRS. ALBERTrs CONDITION.

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 10.-(Special.)-
Mrs. Louis Albert, who, by giving poison
ed wine to her children last week which
consigned four of them to one grave, still
occupies cell in the county Jail and
seems bent on self destruction. After the
burial of her children she seemed to have
an intense desire to see her husband. Yes
terday an interview between the de-
mented woman and her distracted hus-
band took place. What TRANSFERRED be-
tween them is unknown. The woman how
ever manifests no grief, apparently, over
her terrible deed, but seems determined
to end her own existence if possible. Two
days ago she announced her determine
ton to starve herself to death, and re-
fused all food offered her. Today she was
positively informed that unless she par
took of food that was provided for her a
physician would be summoned and the
food injected into her stomach. She
then yielded and ate with seeming relish
what was offered her. She however is
closely watched, as the belief is strong
that she meditates suicide in some form or
other on the first favorable opportunity.

THE POOR KING OF CoREA.

The story told by Mr.. Creelman, the
war correspondent Of the New York
World, at the seat of war in Corea, gives
a most pathetic account of an interview
he had with the king of Corea. He says
the king evidently wanted to appeal to
him as the correspondent of the World
for something, but he seemed to be AFRAID
his courtiers would hear it, but after
telling Creelman that he had understood
the World was read more than any other
American newspaper and also informing
him that the first treaty Corea made was
with America, and that he received as
surance from the American government
of it's kindly interests in Corea, the king
lowered his voice and told Crcelmdn that
he would like to have guard OF Amerl-
can soldiers for his person. lie said he
would feel much safer with such guard.
This is rather strange, as Japan has as
sured him of protection, but it shows that
he dstrusts the motives of Japan and per-
haps he does so with good grounds for the
suspicion.
However much we Americans are in
clined to favor Japan in it's adoption of
modern progress, there is suspicion that
it has not made war with China solely TO
assure the autonomy of the Corean gov
eminent. 1t may be taken as quite GER
tain that Japan has its own interest para
mount, and that it will develop designs
against Corea that even it's imbecile king
shrewdly suspects. 1t is evident that the
king is willing to trust to far western
republican power rather that to ORR
entail or European nations.
1t is a high compliment to America
and also an acknowledgment from
very significant source Of the power of the
press as he appeals for protection through
a representative of the press rather than
a diplomatic agent of this government to
that country. The appeal however, and
the manner in which it was made, merely
for guard of American soldiers to pro-
tect his person from violence, is most
pathetic and deserves consideration.
Poor fellow he is very much in the condi-
ton of the wounded man who could not
get away and had to witness the fight of
the lion and the tiger over his body for its
possession for food for one or the other
with only the hope left that they would
destroy each other. The correspondent
pictures the king of Corea as tremulous
and nervous from the want of sleep and
the constant apprehension of personal
violence. 1t is pitiable condition for
any man, especially for man who wears
q crown.

The death of Ferdinand De Lesseps
has fallen like pebble in the great ocean
of eternity. In the infrmity of old age
a cloud gathered about his name and
the honors of years were ruthlessly
snatched from his brow. If his son had
not been involved in the scandal 1t might
have been attributed to the failing powers
of old age. If that had been the case,
his son ought to have protected him, but
unfortunately he was particeDs
criminis.
One of the glories of this life is to see
an old man full of years and honors from
usefulness calmly awaiting the summons
to eternity, but the saddest thing in this
life is to see an old man whose life has
been honorable, yielding in old age to
temptation and falling from his high es-
tate, hiding his grey head of shame from
the finger of scorn pointed by an unforgiv-
ing world.

GALVESTON CONTEST.
Quo Warranto Proceedings For the Office
of County Treasurer.


Galveston, Dec. 10.-The quo war
ranto proceedings instituted by Selim
tinker against James S. Waters for the
office of county treasurer was called i'll
the district court today, but by consent of
counsel the hearing was postponed until
Jan. 8. Rinker alleges in his petition that
he was legally elected county treasurer
at the late election and prays for man
date of the court installing him in office.
His claim is cOmbatted by Waters pre-
sent incumbent, and in his answer says
that at the recent election gross frauds
and Irregularities were perpetrated and
that it is impossible to ascertain who
was elected. That the judges in preparing
he ballots of the illiterate voters, pre-
pared such ballots contrary to the wishes
of the voters and according to their pri-
vate designs; that the sum of $4,000
was disbursed by parties for the purpose
of corrupting votes and influencing Off
GERS of said election to favor plaintiff.
The defendant further alleges that there
were 500 election certificates issued in
the name of fictitious persons and of that
number 400 were fraudulently prepared
and voted for plaintiff. A large number
of witnesses are being summoned on
behalf of plaintiff and defendant and
from the allegations set forth in Waters
petition a stubborn fight will be made.
The case will be tried before jury.

Judge Thead of the civil district court
of New Orleans has decided that hus
band is not responsible for the torts OF
his wife. The wife had slandered the
plaintiff and the husband was Joined in
the action. This decision Is based upon
the fact that the Louisiana laws are
taken from the Roman law that makes
a wife independent of the husband, very
unlike the English law that wipes out
the existence of the wife. The Louisiana
decision is n good one. If husbands were
liable in damages for the unbridled
tongues of their wives, actions for dam
ages would be so numerous that the dock
cts of the courts would be filed to over
flow in a very short time.

THE DIFFERENCE IN BANKING
PLANS

The banking or currency plan proposed
by the secretary of the treasury and en-
dorsed by the president differs from the
Baltimore plan by requiring a deposit
with the government of 80 per cent of
legal tender. This does not appear to be
important to the general plan for bank
ing system, as in the Baltimore plan the
security for this issue of notes of each
bank is regarded as sufficient in the re-
quirement of half of one per cent upon
the issue deposited with the government.
But it is quite important to relieve the
government. The gold reserve of the
treasury is now subject to frequent de-
pletions by the presentation of legal ten
ders for redemption and their immediate
reissue. The deposit of this 80 per cent
of legal tenders by the hanks for the Sc
curity for the notes issued by them it is
thought would take away by monopolizing
their use in that way the thorn these legal
tenders are in the side of the treasury,
but it would be an additional burden upon
the banks which it does not seem the
banks ought to be compelled TO bear. If
the security of one-half of one per cent is
abundantly sufficient to save the note
holders, is it right that the government
should require 80 per cent of the bank
capital to be invested in legal tenders just
TO relieve the government of an invasion
of its gold reserve? Is there not some
other way by which the government could
be protected in its reserve?
Another consideration is that in order
TO cover the vast quantity of legal tenders,
Sherman notes, etc, into the treasury, the
banks would be compelled to make the
issue so large that its imitation might
bring about depreciation. 1t is estimated
to accomplish this the banks would I've
compelled to increase the circulation of
currency by an additional issue of $780,
100000 in paper. 1t is dangerous eX-
pertinent with some doubt of its accom-
plishing the relief to the treasury which is
contemplated by this provision, which
differs so essentially from the Baltimore
plan.

II is stated by Cleveland, Ohio, man
that Mr.. Benjamin Harrison told him
he would, if elected president, favor any
bill that limited the coinage of silver to
the American output. If Mr.. Harrison
bases his candidacy before the Republican
convention on the free silver coinage idea,
Reed will beat the hind sights OH Oh MIN
But if the silver question is not settled
before the next presidential election and
the Republicans nominate Harrison on
free silver coinage plank, there will be
the greatest disintegration and change
of party membership that ever occurred
in this country.
