SCHEMES WORKED ON THE BLACK
FOOT ASYLUM OFFICIALS.
Many Persons Incarcerated Who
Are Not Now and Never Were In
sane-The Directors Are Nom
pIussed.
Especial to The Herald.)


BOISE. Ida, Jan. 1S.-Major Cava-
naugh, one of the directors of the
Idaho Insane asylum at Blackfoot,
makes the statement that there are
inmates of the institution who are not
insane and who. in his opinion, never
were. Carelessness of the examining
physician is responsible in most in
stances and has been the means of al
lowing scheming rogues to place in the
asylum parties who they We're inter
ested in getting out of the way. The
superintendent in charge of the asylum
has discovered several cases where
patients were absolutely sane, but
the parties through whose instrument
talitv they were sent to the asylum
refuse to take them away. No appro-
priation is available for the purpose
of returning such patients to their
homes. and they cannot be turned out
to starve. Some of these persons have
been driven almost insane because Of
their incarceration. and would un-
doubtedly be raving maniacs now but
for the assurances of the management
of the institution. The asylum direc-
tors are nonplussed to know what to
do, and are talking of arresting par
ties who refuse to take away patients
who have been sent there under these
circumstances.

THE BAD BLOOD

which has existed for some time past
between France and Great Britain as
1t will disarm the Chauvinist French
colonial policy, who used it to Shrek
against Great Britain.
But regarding the Siamese settle
ment itself, France seems to have Sc
cured the lions share. Her sphere of
influence extends from Tonkin and En-
bodia to the watershed of the Mekong,
thus including the rich provinces of
Battembang, Angkor and Port Chan
taboOm.
Great Britain extends her sphere of
influence to the Siamese part of the
Malay peninsula lying between Lower
Burmah and the Straits settlements.
mus her Indian empire will extend I'M
lnterruptedly from Balchistan to Singa-
pore. Great Britain, however, with
draws from the region north of the
Mekong, which will go to France. This
latter point is the most difficult for the
English to swallow, as it means the
withdrawal of a British post. Luckily
the Marquis of Salisbury and not Lord
Rosebery negotiated the matter, or it
would be greeted by a torrent of de-
nunciation from the jingoes.
The most destructive features of the
arrangement is the manner in which
Siam is treated, or rather robbed by the
agreement of the two powers All
that remains to her now, and this is
secured by the agreement, is the val
ley of the Monam, which, however, is
the most fruitful region of the coun-
try.

How Gold May Be Put Into the
Treasury.


BROOKLYN, Jan. 1S.-Ex-Congress-
man w. ]. Coombs, president of the
Manufacturers Trust company of this
city, has sent the following letter to
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle:
1--WE are subscribers to the popular
loan and have accumulated gold to be
used in payment for the same. We are
willing to deposit this gold in the treas
ury for the use of the government and
receive receipt therefor, specifying
that in case none of the bonds be
awarded to us, that the gold shall be
returned out of the proceeds of that
which is received from successful bid
ders. We think that many of the other
banking institutions will be willing to
do the same thing, and in that way,
without loss to themselves, assist the
treasury in the interim in maintaining
the gold reserve"
