planets OF the sun OF battles, in sustaining
sieges like those Of Saragossa and Corona,
In holding mountain passes resembling
that OF Thermopyle. In improving armed
corps like those raised by Nina and Merina,
which would have astonished Leonidas, in
supplementing the most scientific tactics
by popular warfare whose successes were
incomprehensible to the very men who EN-
ployed it, because they were due to sudden
inspirations of genius.
Seeing all this, we believe that there ia
nothing that the will of q people cannot
accomplish when 1t resolves to sacrifice
everything for liberty and native land

CHICAGO, Dec. 1l.-H. X. McFar-
lane Is the name given by the man
who caused the arrest of the man
supposed to be Seeley, the fugitive
New York embeZzler. When Nc
FarIane returned to the central sta
tion the second time, he consented,
with some show of reluctance, to
tell the story OF his first meeting
with Seeley, and the results which
followed: 81 met Seeley eight DAYS
ago on Dearborn street between
Madison and Washington" Nc.
Farlane said, "he spoke to me as
man does who Is unacquainted and
asked how to reach the Roby race
track. l had nothing to do and
offered to show him the way to the
depot. L walked as far as Adam
street with him and told him to
take the street cars to the Union
depot. Then he invited me to 90
with him and l accepted tho in
vitatiOn. When we started for the
track he told me his name was
G.. G. Evans. We went to the
races and he lost $6S IL I remem-
Der correctly. He seemed to have
plenty of money and when we
started back to the city he invited
me to accompany him to the race
track the next day. That day he
lost $50 and after the races he
showed me a card which he said
bore his right name, Frank F.
Dale. This aroused my suspicious
and 1 went to the police station to
get look at Seeley's photograph
on the circular Offering $4,000 for
his arrest. had seen the circular
before, and when 1 got a second
look l was sure that my new &C
quaintance was Seeley. We went
to the track the third day and
Seeley won some money but he lost
again the fourth day. We met
each other every day at the Lin
coin hotel, on the north Iside, and
last Friday while we were talking
Seeley took his pencil and wrote
his real name on a card. "Did you
ever hear Of that man" he asked
me 81 told him l had read in the
newspapers of a man by that name
who had skipped from New York |
with pile Of money.
Well, Pm that man." he said, and
then he asked mo il l was going to
give him up. McFarlane said that
Seeley was pressed for money last
Thursday and had to pawn his
watch and chain. The next day
he received 500 by mail, which he
said had been sent by his wife, who
had received it from his attorney.
Seeley, after confessing his identi-
ty to McFarlane, talked freely
about his connection with the Shoe
and Leather bank. He said that he
had been a dupe for Baker and that
he had received but $4,000 in the
nine years, during which the bank
had suffered losses. Baker, he
said, got all the rest Of the money.
McFarlane says he will divide the
$4,000 reward with detectives. Nc
Farlane was employed until the
strike as an assistant special agent
for the G. & A. road. Since then he
has been without work.
