TO SAVE THE BUNK0 KING,
A Large Sum of Money Raised
In New York for His
Defense.
Tom O'Brien to Be Tried In Paris
for the Killing of Notorious
Crook.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1.-Tom
O'Brien, the king Of bunko men, will
probably never stretch his neck for the
blade of the guillotlne in France. Great
efforts have been making for. some time
among his friends in this country to save
his head.
New York City, with its world of ques-
tionable characters, has been the head
quarters into which money for months has
poured to assist in saving 0'Brien's life.
1t has come from every quarter, until to-
day it is estimated that there is the half of
a hundred thousand dollars on deposit
here and of easy access, all of which is to
be used in one way or another IN bringing
about O'Briens acquittal.
His crime is familiar to newspaper read
ers. 1t is for the murder OF another noto-
rious crook Reed, or, as he was better
known, kid" Waddell, that O'Brien is
now behind the bars or the Mazas in Paris.
Waddell and Brien had been friends in
the past, but fell out because the former re-
where the latter had flown in order to es-
cape the authorities of this State.
A short time ago a tip was received by
the police that the fund referred to above
was being raised. An investigation proved
such to be the case. Further inquiry de-
veloped that the members OF the gang IN
this city are now ready for business.
The climax came yesterday morning.
Among the passengers who sailed on the
steamer Ems was Nine. Annie Gray. with
her she carried letters of credit for $1,000.
Nine. Gray is the messenger from this
country to OBrien's friends in Paris and
will also be witness. The money she IS
| prepared to turn over to them is to be fol
lowed by more, if necessary, until the Pile
is used up.
The trial. which was to have begun on
July /, has been indefinitely postponed
and a commissioner is at present In New
York from Paris TO take dispositions.
The plea that will be offered in o. Brien's
behalf may seem strange one. 1t is that
Waddell did not die as result OF o Brlen's
bullet. His death, 1t viii be claimed, was
| in reality the result of beating he re-
ceived here a sholt time before his de-
parture for Europe.
With this comes most novel feature on
the part of the defense. 1t is asserted that
FAY Templeton, the actress, who is at
present in Paris, will be introduced as a
witness. The story. is that Fay will tell
how on one occasion, she was In Burns
swell cafe, on Sixth avenue, in this city.
In that resort at the same time was Howell
Osborne. a swell young man about town,
and Osborne became engaged in an alter
cation, resulting, so it is claimed. Fay will
swear, in Howell giving the kid" most
unmerciful beating, which laid him up in
bed for several weeks. Once out, Waddell
set sail for France. The actress went to
France not great while ago, and it is an
nounced here that she is now ready to tell
her story upon the witness-stand.
French physicians also aver that
o O'Brien's bullet could not have killed
Waddell, and that there was some cause
other than the shooting that ended the
life of the famous crook.

IN PARLIAMENT.
Brief and Informal Sessions Held In
Each Branch.

LONDON, ENG, July 1.-The sitting of
the House of Commons to-day was marked
by very small attendance. AS is Gus
tomary upon the occasion of q change in
the Ministry, the members of the opposi-
ton and their followers changed their
seats, taking the side of the house formerly
occupied by the leaders and members Of
the majority. The Afghan Prince, Naz-
rulla Khan, occupied seat in the Speak
er's balcony.
In the House of Lords, Baron Halsbury
the new Lord High Chancellor, took his
seat upon the woolsaek for the first time
as the presiding officer.
The galleries of the House were well
filed and a number of ladies, the wives or
daughters of peers, were present in bright
costumes. Prince Nazrulla, after leaving
the House of Commons, went to the House
of Lords, where he was seated in the gall
lery set apart for dignitaries. The business
conducted in both houses was merely
formal and they both adjourned after brief
sessions.

HARRISON AND CHANDLER.

4 Combination That May Head the Re-
publican National Ticket.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July IAN even.
ing paper says:
rhe story comes from Concord that ex-
President Harrison and Senator William
E. Chandler have formed a combination by
the terms of which the Indiana statesman
is to lead the National ticket next year,
with the New Hampshire man for his run
ming mate.
The explanation is made that while
Senator Chandler will appear openly as an
advocate of Reed for the Presidential nomi-
nation, he really believes that the prize
will go to Western man, which will leave
New England in position to command
second place.
The story finds many believers in Wash
ington, where Chandler is personally bet
ter known than he is at home, and where
his principal property interests are con-
centrated.
Senator Chandler has for several years
been one of the most aggressive Republi-
can leaders in the Senate. He, last winter
took to the middle of the channel on the cur
rency question, thereby winning the friend
ship of an important far Western inter
est. There is reason to believe that Harri-
son would have preferred Elkins for Vice
President in the event of his own nomina'
ton, but Elkins is thought to be partial to
Allison, which would leave him out of the
Indianan's calculations.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-secre-
tary Lamont will probably visit the Pacific
Coast before returning to Washington. He
is now in the Yellowstone Park and it is
thought he viii go from there to San
Francisco to inspect the army posts in that
vicinity. From San Francisco he will
probably go to Spokane and Puget Sound.
At the two last-named places military
posts have been authorized established
and the Secretary may join the board of
officers selected to designate the most de-
sirable location for the new posts.

circles.

MED that portion of the interview with
him sent out yesterday which stated Russia
had concentrated naval forces at vladi-

$4,000 troops there her Pacific squadron is
kept out of public view and is scattered
along the Asiatic coast, just where no one
but that Government knows. A perfect
system of communication is being kept up,
but efforts to learn where Russia's greatest
naval strength is concentrated have proved
fruitless.

ELK|NS TALKS POLITICS,
He Is In Favor of a Southern
Man for Second Place on
the Ticket.
Does Not Believe in Holding the
Convention Earlier Than
Usual.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 1.-Stephen b.
Elkins, Senator-elect from West Virginia,
who, rumor declares, wants the second
place on the next National Republican
ticket, stood on the steps of the Holland
House and talked about politics generally
and the coming campaign. He said: 81
told my story when / said that wanted a
Southern man nominated on the next
Presidential ticket as a candidate for Vice
President, and / named Judge Golf of Vest
Virginia as nv choice. 1t is too hot to do
much in politics now, and everybody seems
to be resting"
Speaking OF the return of Joseph H.
Manley end his hurried trip to Augusta,
Me-, Senator Elkins said: .Manley is not
going to do much just now, think, in a
political way. take issue with him when
he says he is in favor of holding the next
National convention early. | have been
through more campaigns than Mr.. Manley,
and harder ones, too, and | think the con-
time. Three months between a nominat-
ing convention and the election is long
enough. The strain upon the public and
the men who are conducting the campaign
is too severe if it is long drawn out. What
we want is sharp aggressive campaign,
and that sort of fightcannot be carried on
in hot weather when people are thoroughly
tired OUT
When Mr.. Elkins was asked about the
place of holding the next National conven-
ton and about Presidential possibilities he
said: II don't think there is a breath of
political air stirring. Wait for a while
until something is done before discussing
the situation"

THREE PILLOW IDEAS.

4 sofa pillow with the new rose cor
ners recently seen was of white china
silk decorated with conventionalized
designs done in yellow floss. When
the cover was placed on, the cushion
was pushed back five or six inches ut
the corners. The corners of the silk
cover were then pulled out square and
tied closely around next to the pushed
back pillow corners. yhef the point
of the silk corner was pushed back in
the center of the tied part and sewed
firmly in place Tile double rutlie thus
formed was then pulled into rosette
shape and tackled TO the pillow. These
rose corners may be made of contrast
ing colors with good effect-this, in the
pillow just described, cut off the white
corners and substitute yellow, the
shade Of the floss used for COUGHING.
The same idea may be carried ont in
more durable material, and when
made of stout goods for lawn use, the
rosette corners will be useful for hand

DREYFus IN PRISON.
He Still Maintains His Innocence
WIN Wait Patiently Till Proven.

Information has reached Paris with
regard to the arrival Of Dreyfus, the
ex-captain of the French army, who
was convicted Of treason, at the lie du
Diable, off French Guiana.
There was considerable difficulty in
landing the prisoner, owing to the
reefs which surround the island to a
distance of 200 yards from the shore.
The boat by which Dreyfus and the
governor of the penitentiary landed
was nearly capsized by wave about
twenty yards from the beach. On be-
ing handed over to the governor Of the
penitentiary by the captain of the
ship. the Vide de st. Nazarine, Drey-
fus again protested his innocence.
Il will submit he said, ito all the
exigencies of discipline and You will

the affair has been cleared up and my
innocence recognized.
Dreyfus receives from the authori-

He can 90 out from six in the morn

space Of 100 metres, the limits Of
which are marked by posts. If he
goes outside these limits the guar

The surroundings of the cabin occu-
pied by Dreyfus for radius Of 800
metres have been cleared of brush

attempt at escape or rescue. There IS,
besides, on the beach, perpetual
