COUNTESS ZE80R0WsM LOSES.

Awaiting Divorce at Sioux

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April s.-P. H
Edmisen has finally won his suit for
$14 coo from Countess Zeborowski of Lon
don. Four years ago the most celebrated
member of the local divorce colony was
Madame de Steurs, wife OF the Belgian
Minister at Paris, and one of the Astor
family. She lived here in state for six
months, occupying nearly one entire floor
of the Cataract House and being sur
rounded with servants.
She was constantly attended by Count
Zeborowski, her cousin, and the day on
which she obtained her degree they were
married.
During her stay she took a fancy to the
handsome home of Mr.. Edmisen and
bought it for $12,50O. Later, on the repre-
sentation of her attorney that the title
was somewhat clouded, she refused to pay
and Edmisen brought suit. He recovered
damages in full in the Circuit Court, and
the Supreme Court has now finally re-
affirmed the decision. The Countess has
large amount of property in this coun-
try, and action has already been taken to
put the judgment into execution.

ITALIANS SLAIN.

Invaders of Abyssinia at

KAssALA STILL HOLDS OUT.
Defended by a Diminished Garrison
Under Hidalgo-Stevani's
Forces Retire.

MASSOWAH, EGYPr, April S.-The first
report of battle at Mount Mocran on
April 2 said that the Italians lost 100
killed and wounded. Now it is admitted
that ten officers and 300 men were killed.
ROME, ITALY. April S.-A dispatch from
Adowa has been received here bv way of
Parem Island, reporting that after Colonel
Stevani's victory over the dervishes near
kassala on Saturday, in battle in which
he lost 100 men and inflicted loss esti-
mated at 800 upon the dervishes, he re-
turned to Kassala and the dervishes
retired to the fort and intrenchments at
Tucruf
On the following day Colonel Stevani
made reconnaissance of Tucruf and Wig
orously attacked the forts. He captured
some of them, but was unable to entirely
dislodge the dervishes. He, therefore, re-
turned to Kassala and informed General
Baldissera, commander of the italian
forces in Africa, that he was convinced
his forces were strong enough, and that
he proposed to renew the attack in the
morning. In view of the general situa-
tion General Baldissera refused to sanction
this plan.
Late advices received by the Govern
ment from Massowah imply that, al
though Colonel Stevani's forces have re-
tired from Agradat, Kassala will possibly
still be held by diminished garrison, un-
der Major Hidalgo.

Tewfk Pasha Claims the Missionary
Is a Guest and Well
Treated.

LONDON, ENG, April S.-The Post will
tomorrow publish a confirmation of the
report that Rev. George P. Knapp, one of
the American missionaries stationed at
Bitlis, had been expelled from that place.
dispatch from Constantinopie to a news
agency here states that Tewfik Pasha, the
Turkish Foreign Minister has assure ed J..
w. Riddle, United States Charge DAT
faires, that Mr.. Knapp is now guest of
the Vail of Diarbekir and that he is well
tr eated. Mr.. Riddle is awaiting a report
from Diarbekir as to the treatment of Mr..
Knapp.
The Daily News tomorrow will say that
resolutions were adopted at meeting of
the Armenian Relief Committee this even
ing protesting against the decision of the
Sultan to issue an trade for the expulsion
of all Christian missionaries from Ar
menia, and urging the British Govern
ment to make every attempt to prevent
such step being taken. The resolutions
also requested the Government to make
immediate efforts to obtain the release OF
Rev. George P. Knapp, the American
missionary who was ordered to proceed
from his station at Bitlis to Constanti-
nople to answer charges of sedition and
murder made by Turkish officials, and
who is now said to be prisoner at Diar-
bekir. 1t is also urged that an increase be
made in the number of British Vice Con.

STRIKING STREETcAR employees.
The Agitation Likely to Be Transferred
to Philadelphia From New


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April s.-The
streetcar troubles of Philadeiphia and
New York are closely linked. From what
could be gathered here to-day it is likely
that there will be no strike in New York,
but that the agitation will be transferred
to Philadelphia.
Edwin Byrne, president of the local
branch of the Amalgamated Association
OF Street Railway Employees. went to New
York and saw President Mahon to-day.
The immediate object of Mr.. Byrne's visit
to Mahon was to have him modify the
terms of the ultlmatum which the Anal
gamated Association is to submit to the
Union Traction Company. One clause of
this ultimatum requires of the traction
company to recognize the association. The
local leaders of the association know full
well that the traction company will fight
this demand to the death.
Therefore Mr.. Byrne went to New York
to see President Mahon and have him
erase this demand in the ultimatum.
This President Mahon consented to do.
Despite the admission of the local lead
ers of the Amalgamated Association that
the A. R. U. had become affiliated with
the street railway men, Mr.. Mahon au-
thorized Byrne to deny that such a deal
had been accomplished or would be con-
sidered. The local leaders of the great
railway of brotherhoods also denied that
they had any intention of affiliating with
the A. r. U.

Pacific speech.
PIETERMARITZBUR NATAL, A pril s.
The Natal Parliament was opened to-
day. In his speech opening the session
Hon. Sir Walter Francis Hely- Hutchinson,
Governor of the colony, said he hoped a
policy of conciliation on all sides would
lead to an abatement of racial differences
and political discomfort. The Government
of Natal, he said, would view with gravest
concern the possibility of conflict be-
tween the Dutch and English in South
Africa. 1t would be impossible to control
the vast native population of the prestige
and authority of the Europeans if the
country were to be destroyed by armed
contention.
The English and Dutch, the Governor
declared, were too deeply rooted and had
too many interests in common to be ranged
in hostile camps. There was room enough
and to spare for both. 1t was the duty of
all who are ansWerable for the guidance
of the destinies of South Africa to remove
all grounds that might be conducive of
discord.
The tone of the Governors speech
throughout was markedly pacific.

Johnson III an endeavo- to have him bring
suit against George ]. Gould to secure a
balance of $4,000 which she claims is due
her on the famous check which she is said
to have surrendered to Mr.. Gould several
months ago. Her intentions were to have
the suit filed at once, and while Gould was
IN the city secure personal service on him.
Governor Johnson declined to bring the
suit.
ZeIla then visited the Missouri Pacific
headquarters in search of Mr.. Gould, and
created sensation among the clerks by
her denunciation of the railroad magnate
She was induced to leave the building, and
hurried to the Union station only to find
that Mr.. GoulGis private car had left the

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN PRISON.
The Youthful Adventurer a Membsr
of an Influential Family in
New York.

PORTLAND. Or, April s.-Frank J.
Atieck, Harvard graduate and the
brother OF wealthy member of the New
York Stock Exchange, who, after dissipat-
ing fortune of $4,000, six months ago
enlisted in a cavalry troop at Fort Boise,
deserted recently and week ago was
arrested in this city by Detectives Holsap-
pie and Griffin. When taken into custody
there were found in his baggage number
of souvenir small arms stolen from officers
at his post short time before his deser-
ton.
Afleck is a handsome young man, bur
has given the military authorities at Van
couver no little trouble since his incarcer-
alton. A few days after he was sent there
from Portland he made an effort to gain
his liberty by cutting a hole through a
bathroom. He was surprised before his
efforts were crowned with success and
locked in cell.
The following day Af1eck tore his
blankets into shreds, converting them into
rope, with which to commit suicide. He
adjusted a moose about his neck and
mounting chair, fastened the other end
of the impromptu rope to the iron grating
above the door of his cell. Then he kicked
the chair from under his feet and dangled
in the air. The noise made by the stran-
CLING prisoner attracted the attention of
the sergeant on duty outside. and he cut
Afleck down just in the nick OF time.
The fellow expressed regret that he was
not permitted to execute himself, and TO
prevent him from repeating the act hewas
placed in straitiacket He wore that
two days. when, upon a promise to behave
himself, he was released from the torturous
jacket. Since then he has been heavily
chained.
Afieck's family is very influential one
in New York City, and will doubtless bring
much force to bear upon the Secretary of
War to temper the severe sentence to be
imposed upon the deserter by the court
martial convening next week.
