DISBELIEVsS IN MARRIAGE
Miss Lancaster Confined in an Insane
Asylum.
Discovered by Her Socialist Lover,
She Was Subsequently Released
Quite q Stir Caused.

LONDON, October 3O.-The newspapers
of this city today devote much space to the
latest phase of the case of Miss Lancaster
the young lady of wealthy parentage who
became a socialist, residing in the work
ing district of London, and who was de-
sirous of living with a workman named
Sullivan, a prominent socialist, although
reither of them believes in marriage. The
two decided to dispense with any formal
tiles and started housekeeping together
whereupon the young lady's parents con-
suited specialist in diseases of the brain
and had her confined in an asylum for the
insane. The case attracted much atten-
ton, as Miss Lancaster was an eloquent
speaker on socialism. After Miss Lancas-
ters incarceration in the asylum, Sullivan
for some time searched for her without re-
suit, but. eventually, he obtained knowl-
edge of her whereabouts. and, after seek
ing the assistance of the commissioners in
lunacy, the release of Miss Lancaster was
ordered.
Now that the interesting young person is
released from the asylum, she tells the
story of her abduction" to the papers gen.
orally, protesting against the attempt of
her relatives to introduce in England
methods which have been found so con-
venient in France.
The Daily News, alluding to the case.
says:
Miss Lancaster was shut up today; Lady
Herry Somerset and Mrs Ormiston Chant
may be shut up tomorrow"
John Burns, the socialistic labor leader
and eX-member of parliament, took lead
ing part in the release of Miss Lancaster
He wrote to the secretary of state for home
affairs, Sir Matthew White Ridley, and the
commissioners of police on this subject. and
also interviewed her parents. Finally,
Burns had the pleasure of escorting Miss
Lancaster from the asylum to her home
where she and her lover had levee, which
was largely attended by enthusiastic social
lists and others who hold the views regard
iIg matrimony entertained by Miss Lam
caster and Sullivan. The lovers took this
occasion to announce to their friends and
admirers that they had not in any way
changed their opinions on the subject of
marriage and that they intended to carry
out their original program of living to-
gether as man and wife without previously
goirg through any religious civil ceremony,
such formalities being, in their opinion, use
less and stupid
The Marquis of Queensberry has written
letter on the subject to Sullivan, express
iLg great interest in the case and Offering
to contribute toward the expenses incurred
in obtaining the release of Miss Lancaster
adding:
I'VE doubtless have similar opinions upon
marriage. l advise you, however, to go
lection Of your wife and children, but the
instant 1t is finished protest against it and
repudiate it. Changes may follow. We
want the changes in the law.
Il should like to know you and shake
hands with YOU and YOUR brave wife"

PATROLLING CHICAGO.
Taking Steps to Prevent "Hold Ups''
In That City.

CHICAGO, October 30.-Few citizens who
Were detained down town late last night
escaped giving a strict account of them
selves. Requests of this nature were all
the more startling for the reason that they
came from men who gave no outward indi-
cation that they had any right to make
them. 1t was all on account of a lew or
der of things that has been introduced in
the police department. and which, it is
hoped, will have the effect of putting a
stop to the numerous hold-ups and high
way robberies that have been taking place
of late.
Nearly the entire force of officers in the
business portions of the city were divested
of their uniforms and sent to travel in
plain Citizens clothes The results so
far have been most satisfactory several
well-known crooks and confidence men
having fallen into the net. This manner of
police work will he kept up as long as the
city is infested, as it is at present, by a
gang of thieves.

Ex-CoNsUL wALLER's CASE.

The Court-Martial Record Received
and Being Examined.
1t has been understood all along that the
fate of ex-Consul Waller, who is still Ian
gushing in prison in France, hinged mainly
on the regularity of the proceedings of the
French court-martial which sentenced him
to twenty years imprisonment After many
delays and persistent application, an official
copy of the record of the proceedings of
the court has reached the Secretary of
State. This information is deemed essen
tial to the conduct of further negotiate ons
in support Of the request for Waller's re-
lease, and the papers will therefore under
go a careful and thorough examination.
Two Opinions as to the Record.
There are two opinions in regard to the
showing made by the court-martial pro-
ceedings One is that it is less favorable
to the cause of Waller, and that under it
the best the United. States government can
do is to request mitigation of his SEN
tence. On the other hand, it is said that
the record shows fatal Aaws in the pro-
ceedings, that in the end may form the
bass of a demand for the release of the
prisoner.
Two Points MatiOned.
In at least two points It is said that the
proceedings of the court-martial were in
violation of the Frsnch law, and If such a
case arose in the United States this would
be sufficielt groundSfor the setting aside
of the proceedings and the sentence, and
the release of Waller In the first place.
it appears that the court was composed of
five officers. whereas the French military
regulations are said to require at least
seven persons to sit on the court. But,
more important than this, 1t is alleged that
Waller rcwas nots trealH tried as charged,
but that as the trial progressed evidence
was taken on another charge not included
in the original matter, and that it was
upon what might be called a supplement
tary but irregular charge that Waller was
convicted. Aside from the other points in
the case, this matter of !rregularity of the
proceedings may in this end go far to make
up the case of our government as pre-
sented through Ambassador EuStis.

SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS.
Louisiana Producers Want Two OF
These Specifically Rejected.

Representative Meyer and Col. Hill OF
New Orleans, representing the Louisiana
sugar producers, were at the Treasury
Department today and had an interview
with Auditor Baldwin in regard to the
sugar bounty claims cases. In view of the
fact that a decision favorable to them
cannot be had under Controller Bowler's
recent decision, Messrs. Meyer and Hill
asked for the specific rejection Of two
specific claims, one under the appropria-
ton of $23S,O0O on sugar produced before
the repeal of the bounty act, and the other

Business Before the Convention.
The most important business before the
convention will, of course, be the election
of a bishop of the new diocese. Besides
this there will also be the election of a
standing committee and some other details
incident to inaugurating the work of the
new diocese.
At the general convention in Minneapolis,
when consent was obtained to a partition
of the diocese of Maryland. Bishop Paret
expected to call the convention here at an
earlier date but his eXacting duties in the
house Of bishops, of which he is most
. important member, prevented his doing SO.
Bishop Paret will determine with what
services the convention will open. While it
will not necessarily be the case, the chances
may not be reached before the morning ses-
sion of the second day. 1t is customary to
elect the standing committee first, and at
the convention providing for the diocese of
EastOn, which was made out of the old do
cese of Maryland. the new bishop was not
elected until the second day. On account
of the comparative novelty OF such a con-
vention as this more than the usual amount
work of organization. St. Andrews Church,
where the convention is to be held is at the
corner of 14th and Corcoran streets.
The Election of Delegates.
The time and place of holding the cleo
tions for delegates rests with the various
vestries, all that is required being that they
shall be held long enough in advance to
provide the proper credentials for the dele
gates. Each parish or congregation is en-
titled to send many lay delegates as it
has clergy entitled to seats in the conven-
ton. In the case of the new diocese the
total number of lay delegates will lie some
where between fifty and sixty.
In conversation with d Star reporter, Dr.
j. HI. Elliot, rector of the Church of the
n fha tiar,r hat fIa,.
new election must be held 20 provide lay
delegates to the convention. He said that
in his opinion, the preceden:s favored it.
1T should be clearly understood, how
ever, said DR.. Elliot, that it is a new cleo
ton of delegates, and not necessarily an
election of new delegates. This rule neld in
the case Of the diocese of Eastcn, and
finds interesting analogy III the history of
the state of Maine. When provision was
made for the separation of the state of
Maine from the old state of Massachusetts
it was specially provided that a Lew cleo
tion for delegates to the first legislative
body of the new state should be held
