Turned Over to Him by the Wife
of Barrett, the FamOns Burglar.

Boston. November 12.-The arrest OF
James Stevens Chaffee, of this city, by
the police yesterday and the recovery
Of over $4,000 worth Of stolen plunder
was followed tonight by even more
startling discoveries.
This afternoon Mrs. Chaffee handed
over a box containing certificate No.
"A. for 100000 shares OF the o. X. Gold
Mining C0mpany's stock, valued at
S1OO per share; certificates Nos. 80 and

Barrett is a notorious criminal now
serving a life sentence for murder in

POOR DUNRAVEN.
He Was Piqued by His Defeat and
Made an ASS of Himself-Rebuked
by English Papers.

London, November 12.-Even Lord
Dunraven's friends now admit that he
made a serious mistake in issuing the
pamphlet published by the Times in
reply to the report of the New York
Yacht Club on the Americas cup races.
One of the highest yachting authorities
here. a gentleman who is in constant
touch with the leading members of the
ROYAL Yacht Squadron, informed a rep
resentative of the Associated Press To-
dav that Lord Dunraven's action was
greatly regretted and generally con-
denmned by yachtsmen.
The press, as a rule, has begun to
follow the lead Of the ST. James Gazette,
which so strongly condemned Lord
Dunraven. The st. James Gazette
says:
TO bring up this deliberate charge
of foul play weeks afterwards IS alto
ge-her unfair and it is deplorably inju-
dic;ous and unpatriOtic, and will make
more bad blood in the United States
than half dozen Corinto or Venezue-
