WALTER BoNNEY MISSING.
Probably Murdered and Made Away
With for His Money.

SOUTH BEND, July l6.-Walter
Bonney, SON of James Bonney, a
photographer of this city, has mys-
teriously disappeared. Several
years ago Walter went to Kansas
City, Mo-, where he became an ex-
pert paper hanger. His services
were so valuable that he was sent
to Old Mexico to look after paper
hanging contracts in the govern
ment buildings. Later he travelled
for a Kansas City commission
house. In August, 1894, he was on
q trip through Kansas. He re-
mitted to his house collections of
$500. Next day, leaving q valise
with clothing at the town from
which he made his remittance, he
started on a side trip. Since that
time nothing has been heard from
him, although general search has
been made. At the town at which
he last stopped, money sent by his
house to pay travelling expenses re-
manned uncalled for. Vain search
has since been made and all facts
in the case led to the conclusion
that Bonney was murdered for the
money he was supposed to have
had. He was getting good sala.
ry and held the highest regard Of
his employers, they having the ut
most confidence in him. The only
thing that ever turned up is the
unused portion Of his mileage book,
which was sold at scalper's, office
in Denver. This had, In all proba-
bility, been taken by the one who
made way with Bonney.

NO WAR is IN SIGHT.

So Says the Japanese Minister, Al
so That Japan is Not Afraid of
Russia.
NEW YORK, July 16.-Shinichiro
Kurino, Japanese minister to the
United States, was at the Imperial
hotel last night. He had just re-
turned from Newport and was on
his way to Washington. He talked
freely Of affairs in the orient and
said: "The war has left Japan in
first rate shape. / think that peace
is permanently assured in the far
east. China manifests determine
ton to stand by her agreement
and this will do much to win her
favor in Japan. You hear a great
deal of talk about Russia's attitude
and the probability Of clash be-
tween Japan and Russia over
boundary settlement. That Is near
ly all newspaper talk. Russia Is
friendly to Japan. II she were not
the treaty OF three weeks ago
would not have been completed. 1t
has been said that Japan allowed
Russia to impose upon her the set
Elements under threat Of war. That
is wrong. Japan is not .afraid Of
Russia, but she is consistent. Rus
sia asked certain things and they
were granted. Russia today Is as
friendly to Japan as the United
States Is and 80 no war in is sight.

Forgot His own Name.

1t is related OF Joe Jefferson that he was
one day introduced to Gen. Grant, an
event that naturally impressed him strong
ly. Later In the day. according to the
New York Mail and Express he got into
an elevator Of the hotel at which they
we're both stopping. A short, heavy set
man also got in, lifted his hat to Jefferson
and made some remark II beg your par
don. Hour face is familiar to me, but I
cannot recall the name,"+ said the actor.
Gen. Grant courteously gave his name. IT
got off at the next floor, for fear should
ask him If. he had ever been in the war;"
jefferson said in relating this story. Worse
than that, he once forgot his own name.
He had gone into post office at some
small resort where he was unknown and
asked the clerk If there was any mail for
him. whats the name?" asked the clerk.
Name? Oh, yes. certainly. Why. let's
see! 1 play Rip Van Wrinkle, you know"
"Jefferson!'' said the astonished and de-
lighted clerk. "Yes, Jefferson, thanks" he
answered. politely. as he received his mail

The Earl of Aberdeen is very fond of

St. Andrews dinner 1t was not customary

Better Feeling in London for Amer
lean Securities.
VOLUME OF BUSINESS MUCH REDUCED
Generalization Of Freight. Rates in
the West.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 16.-Opening prices
this morning reflected advances varying
from 1-S to l per cent, but subsequent i'm
provement was. in the main, restricted to
fractional limits. London's early cables in
dicated decided improvement IN the tone
OF the market for American securities. and
foreign houses were reported as recon-
mending the better class of our securities
to investment clients.
The recent successful speculation in
African gold mines has net.ed handsome
profits to the leaders In that movement.
and 1t is thought that a liberal share OF
such profits will be attracted to the local
stock market. One important foreign bank
ing house. at least, Is being carefully
watched in anticipation Of its being the
source of important commissions to this
side. The improvement in the market for
almost all classes Of commodities is the
strongest argument in favor of a further
continuation Of the advance in stock val
ues.
The Granger group was steady around
first prices, in spite of telegraphic advice
from the west indicating a most demoral-
lied condition in east-bound freight rates.
Manhattan was strong under a fair de-
| mand, which advanced the price to ia.
after opening at a l per cent advance over
yesterdays closing figures. The volume OF
business was noticeably reduced from yes
terday, and to this fact may be attributed
the unimportant transactions in a majority
of the usually active railroad shares.
In the industrial list sugar was the fea-
| ture at an advance of one per cent over
| first prices, the brokers usually employed
by inside interests being conspicuous pur-
| chasers. Advanced rates for certain classes
Of the refined product and indications Of
further advances in the near future served
| to facilitate the upward movement. The
street is strongly prejudiced in favor Of
the long side of this property.
General Electric was sold on rumors that
the much-talked-of agreement with the
Westinghouse interest was still lacking in
the important element of f1nality.
The market for foreign exchange was
| firm and dull Bankers were disposed to
ask top prices for all drawings owing to
| the general scarcity of bills. The volume
of arbitrage business Is not fully reflected
owing to the fact that the larger foreign
| houses are members Of the bond syndicate
| and are working in harmony with the syn
| dicate's efforts to maintain rates and con-
troll the exchange market.
