NOVELIST STEVENSON IS DEAD.
His Remains Inferred on the Summit OF
a Samoan Mountain.

a Samoan Mountain.
Auckland. N. H., Dec. 16-Advices
from Apia, Samoa, of December s, are
to the effect that the well-known nov
elist, Robert Louis Stevenson, had died
suddenly from appoplexy. His remains
were inferred on the summit of the Pala
mountains. 1900 feet high. At the time
of his death, Mr.. Stevenson had just
completed the writing of new novel.
He was born in Edinburgh in 1850
He was educated at private schools
and at the University of Edinburgh
and was called to the Scottish bar, but
travelled and devoted himself to litera-
ture One of his earliest works was
an account of his travels in Califor-
mia, but the work which established his
reputation as a writer of fiction was
Treasure Island" published in 1888
Among his most popular works is Or
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" which was drama
tized and produced at the Lyceum in
Lodon in 1888 and subsequently in the
United States Among his other works
arei Kidnapped ''The New Arabian
Knights" and "The Black Arrow"
Some time ago Mr.. Stevenson, who was
suffering from lung trouble, went to
the south Pacific for his health He be-
came enraptured with the Samoan
islands and decided to take up his resi-
dence there. He took a close interest
in Samoan affairs and has written many
letters to newspapers in favor of the
natives as against the treaty powers
under whose direction the government
OF the islands is conducted

American Lawyer Who Shot His
Mistress Acquitted.
ATTEMPTED TO KILL HIMSELF
A Titled Parsonage Who Owed Bennett
Money SAID to Have Used
His Influence.

London, Dec. 15.-The treasury de-
partment has so far treated with silent
contempt the communication addressed
to it by Sir Henry Hawkins, judge of
the court of queens bench, and which
pointedly asked why the government,
having been placed in possession of all
the facts, had failed to take up the pros
ecution of Albert Bennett, the Ameri-
can lawyer who has just been acquitted
on the charge of shooting at his mis-
tress, Edith Mary Andrews, with in
tent to murder her.
Bennett occupied for several years
one OF he highest positions in the Sing
er Manufacturing Company, receiving
salary of $4,000 year, and was final
ly transferred to this city as English
consulting counsel, his knowledge of
patent law and legal matters generally
being very great For the last IS
months he had lived with Miss Andrews
in fashionable quarters at Edgerton
Garden. There were frequent quarrels
between the couple, and in August last.
after shooting her in the face, he turned
| the weapon on his own head, but failed
i'm the attempt to commit suicide, in
aicting but a slight wound.
Such cases are generally taken up by
the treasury in conjunction with the
| criminal department of Scotland Yard,
but in this case, and for the first time
in many years, the treasury decided to
keep its hands off, and as the woman
testified that the injuries were accident
| ally inflicted, the jury was compelled
to return verdict of acquittal. 1t is
said the treasury was influenced by a
high parsonage not altogether discon-
nected with royalty, who had met Ben
nett at certain city clubs and who, it is
said, had not been above borrowing
of him various sums at different times,
until the aggregate is quite considera-

Use of exceeding the population of Great
Britain and France and our gold and
silver could circulate over a territory
seventeen times the area of France.
Mr.. ST. John closed with a review of
the notable features of the present
financial condition. The dollar is eff
cient but prices are ruinously low, capt.
tai lacks investment and manufactur-
ing is restricted by low prices and labor
starves. The enduring fact" said he.
IF this aspect of money is to be pre-
served, is that the rich will be made
richer and the poor people poorer as the
one achievement of our statute law"
ST. JOHNS BILL.
At the conclusion of st. Johns state
ment the committee took a recess, ask
ing the witness to return for further
examination. II want to combat every
statement of every banker who has APP
peared before you" said st. John as an
indication of the line of questions he de-
sired. Representative Culberson of
Texas questioned st. John as to the
remedy he would propose for the pres
ent conditions. Witness presented bill
as remedy. 1t provides for silver coin
age on the same basis as gold. To meet
the money stringency the bill provides
for coin certificates based on bonds hy-
pothecated by banks in such quantities
as the secretary of the treasury may de-
termine. Mr.. st. John said the bill would
put the country on a silver basis for a
time, and thereafter both metals would
circulate. AS to the Carlisle plan, Mr.
st. John said 1t would fall fiat" The
banks would not accept it.
Chairman Springer-"Would the cur
rency under the Carlisle plan be safe ~
st. John-"There would be no cur
rency issued by them. They would not
accept it. Instead of that you would
have the worst panic on record" He
pointed out that the safety fund.-" un-
der the Carlisle plan, was to be accumu-
lated in small percentages and would
not be realized for ten years. In the
meantime for the next ten years there
would be no safety fund behind the
proposed bank notes. Mr.. st. John said
the bankers before the committee had
weighed each statement regarding
greenbacks, but he regarded it as pre-
posterous that $346, 900 on non-inter-
est bearing greenbacks should be re-
tired by the government at the very mo-
ment that the government was Issuing
$50, 900 of per cent bonds. The wit
ness said that state banks would be just
as Objectionable today as they were in
the past.
Representative Sperry-"Are we on a
gold basis today?"
St. John-"Decidedly yes"
Sperry-"And your bill would carry
us to a silver basis?''
St. John-"For the ii me being With
in two years we would be on a true BIZ
metallic basis, both metals circulating
| equally" The committee then went
into executive session and decided to
report the bill
