INTERPRETS GEN.NEW
Gen. Michner Thinks He Must
Have Been Misguided.
Gen. Harrison Had Nothing to.
Withdraw From.
ONLY NEWS NOTION.
Who Mr.. Harrison's Choice is
Only a Guess.
Harrison's Friends Perhaps
Don't Know His Thoughts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA recent in
terview with General John c. New,
stating that MIR. Harrison was not q
candidate for the presidency, and that
the ex, president would not select Mr..
Mckinley or Mr.. Reed, if his advice
were asked, has attracted marked at
tention in Washington among those
who have been closely and officially
connected with Mr. Harrison Sew
eral OF these gentlemen, including a
number Of the Harrison cabinet, con-
ferred with a view to correcting any
misrepresentation that may have arisen.
AS result, it was determined that
General Kitchener, who, with General
New, was in charge of the interests of
Mr.. Harrison at the last Republican
national convention, would be asked
to make statement. General Mich
lners statement as given to the press
is as follows:
Il think Mr. New has been mis-
quoted. The public certainly under
stands by this time that General Har-
rlsOn is IN no sense a candidate for the
nomination Not be ng in the field
there is nothing to withdraw from.
That he would not select either
Governor Mckinley or Mr.. Reed, if
his advice We're asked, is Simply the
opinion of Mr.. New, if correctly
quoted, and it should not be taken as
expressing the sentiments of the ex-
president. The making Of candidates
is an art that he never practiced in
the past, nor is he likely to engage in
it at this time.
The guesses, or views, or opinions
of his friends Should be treated as
such, and for anything definite or ac-
curate, it would be we'll to await such
expressions or actions as General Har-
rison may see proper to give the pub
lie directly"

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The comet of
Faye is not of sufficient Importance to
warrant it in assuming responsibility
for the widespread drouth in Europe, y
said Professor Elias Colbert at his
home, No. ? Cleveland park, last night.
Very few of the comets are known to
astronomers as periodical comets. AS
the name indicates. these comets make
their appearance at various intervals.
The period OF the comet of Faye is Z A
years. It's greatest distance from the
sun is about SIX times the earth's dis
lance. The comet of Faye will never
be spectacular comet, and therefore
not p puiar 1t will be. visible only
through the largest telescopes during
the present period of the IA years

Father Wagner Accused of the
Abduction Breaks Down.
The Threatened Lynching Was
Too Much for Him.

CHICAGO. Oct. Maud SteideI, 10
years old. whose parents live in ST. Jo-
seph, No, spent the night in the Harri-
son street police station, this city. She
was arrested at West Side convent by
officers from St Joseph last evening. II
is claimed she. was abducted from there
at the instance of Catholic priest.
Albert E:andt, of 1O14 Diversey street,
Chicago, was arrested at late hour last
night by officers and locked up On &
charge of abduction. He is a brother-in
law of Father Dominick Wagner.
whom the friends of the girl say
spirited her away from a school in St.
Joe. It is assorted that Father Wagner
persuaded the girl, who is good looking
and large for her age, to leave ST. Joe
and come to Chicago.
Etandt went 10 St. Joe and brought her
to Chicago and placed her in a Catholic
school en- the west side. He said after
midnight this morning that he knew
nothing about any abduction, and had
only done what Father Wagner told him
to do.

An anonymous letter received by the
mother of Maud SteideI last week gave
the police the only clew to her where
abours. The letter threatened the moth
eE with severe punishment for the trouble
she had caused Father Wagner of ST.
Joseph, and said if she had not made the
accusations the girl would have been at
her home before this time. The theory
that the girl had been sent to Chicago
was strengthened by the statement that
Father " agner had friends here. Father
Wagner has beceme crazed by the strain
on him. Nothing further has been
heard of Dora Kennedy, who disappeared
shortly after Maud Steidel was missed,
under similar circumstances, and the
mystery surrounding her disappearance

Miss Steidel is rather handsome
young woman, and bitterly repents her
actions. She will be taken home today
