sent out by y. W. Harris * Co, the invest

accepted the terms. He received his pay,

knowing what he was throwing away. The
men WHO were engineering his exile knew.
The khedive had already ordered that
lie he granted life pension, with the rank
of general. This was lost to him by tho
negotiation which secured him funds for
his immediate necessities
Col. Long went to Europe, recovered his
health. and again entered upon the field of
activity He was in demand among the
European geographical Societies. especially
in the larger towns of France. He lectured
at Rouen, Poitiers. Paris. and otier places.
and numerous publications OF these So
cieties contain accounts of his addresses
and extracts from them.
AT Rouen and other places the entire lee
trre was printed in elegant pamphlet
form upon fine paper, with handsome
frontispiece and a map of the country
through which Col. Long Travelled.
BoMBARDMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.
Col. Long was on board ship in the iuir-
Dor of Alexandra when the bomba rdment
of Alexandria occurred in the spring of
1882 The American consul fled from his
post Col. Long went ashore and hoisted
the American flag, giving protection to
his couDtrymen.
He was appointed by President Cleveland
in his first administration as consul at
Seoul, Korea, where he represented his
government with credit.
Col. Long has written a number Of books,
both in French and English Among them
are Central Africa" published in 1874;
THE Sources of the Nile" in 1891, and
Egypt an Her ost p Provinces." 3" in S92.
He is familiar with the English move
ment into Central Africa. and his lectures
there will probably throw much light on

TURF WRITER SHOT.
Gwynne TOmpkins, known as "Grey.
stone," Is the Victim of q Jealous
Husband Who Carried q Gun.

Washington, Oct. ia mysterious
affray occurred this afternoon in
Georgetown, resulting In the shooting
of Gwynne Thompkins, a turf writer
and stable owner, we'll known by his
non de plume of "Greystope" by John
Colins,a clerk in the office Of the COM
missionels of the District Of Columbia.
1t occurred in the West End hotel and
Tompkins is supposed to have been
shot in the arm and side. How seriously
he is hurt. however, cannot be stated,
as he was at once carried off by his
friends in a carriage and has not yet
been located by the police. Collins was
arrested aud is now in police station.
He will say nothing about the shooting,
although package of letters which h !
has in his possession and of which he
seems to be most solicitous is believed
to have something to do with it.
Tompkins has had divorce grante d
recently from his wife, herself a wri-
ter of some reputation, over the sigma
ture of Helen Dare" She suddenly
disappeared from New York two years
ago, was later located in San Esancisco
in company with Norman Broughat, IL
prominent sporting writer, to whom
she was married a few days ago.
The letters which Collins holds are
said to have been written by TOmpkins
to Mrs. Collins. seeking an appointment
with her. The husband was on hand in :
stead of the wife and when Tompkins
appeared, the shooting commenced.
Tonpkins was taken to the Garfield
hospital and his wounds dressed. The
officials there say his injuries are not
serious
