Unofficial adyices have reached the

The entrance from the coast is to be eff
fected, according to the new plan, by
means of the Stikine river which has
its mouth on the United States side Of
the line, but passage through which is
free to all. The scheme, as it is being
projected, is for the British mail carrying
vessels to go in near Prince of Wales

FOR PERSONAL REVENGE
LETS CAT OUT OF THE BAG WITH
CHARGES AGAINST BRYAN.
SAYS BRYAN WAS TO FIGHT HIM
Another Petty SpIenetic Charge Against Sem
ator Daniel--These Two Grievances the
Basis of His so-Cal!ed Change "A
Gallery Play on Lynching.

Washington, Aug 31.-The Post will
tomorrow print a lengthy and import
ant interview with Gov. Chas. r. O'Fer
rail-, of Virginia, who last fall declined
to support the nominees and platform of
the Chicago convention, and who is the
recognized head ;of the gold Democrats
of Virginia.
Governor O'Fesrall talks with plain
ness as to his political position and his
future action. He announces his de-
termination not to support under present
conditions, Che Democratic State ticket
recently nominated at Roanoke, and
gives his reasons for reaching this deci-
sion. He criticises in emphatic language
the conduct of the leaders at the con-
vention for endorsing the Chicago plat
form and also pays his respects to the
free silver Democrats who have made
him target of abuse, claiming that they
have taken advantage of his position,
knowing that he could not answer them.
and charging them with attempting to
seek notoriety through hurting epithetS
mt him. He raiterates. his charge that
Bryan had made every arrangement to
enter the State in 1893 and make speech
es in behalf of the Populist who was
running for Governor against him, and
gives additional evidence to substantiate
| his assertion. He speaks of Senator
| Daniel as having presented in the Senate
resolution endorsing Cleveland's action
regarding the Chicago strike and yet
with having voted in the committee or
Resolutions in the Chicago convention
| denouncing Clevland for the very act
which the Senator had previously com
mended.
Governor OFerrall also defends his
| course in ordering out the military tC
prevent lynchings and calls attention tC
! the fact that although there were sixty
| two lynchings in the State from 1886
to 1894, there have only been two dur
ing his administration. He says that he
has no apologies or regrets for his course
| in politics. and intimates that if Bryan
is renominated on a platform similar tC
| the one adopted at Chicago, Virginia
may go Republican in 1900.

BIALK ON THE STAND
THE NlGHT-WATCHMAN TELLS ABOUT
LUETGERT'S MOVEMENTS.
Cther Witnesses Recount His Behavior Subse-
quent to the Night of His Wife's
Disappearance.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Three witnesses
were placed on the stand by the prosecu-
ton in the Luetgert trial to-day. Prob
baly the most important witness of the
three was Frank Bialk, night watchman
at the Luetgert sausage factory Bialk.
who is a German Ga years old, was a
trusted emplOye of the defendant for
whom he worked several years. His
testimony, which he gave in German, bore
directly ON the movements of the defen-
dant during the night of May l. He
also related how two barrels, which it
is alleged contained caustic potash, were
stored on one of the upper floors of the
factory and were shortly before May 1
taken to the basement where the barrels
were emptied in the vat and dissolved
by steam. The other witnesses were
Chas. p. Melander, photographer, who
identified several views of the IIuetgert
factory, and Mrs. Agatha Torcsh, the
wife of a saloon keeper. Mrs. Torsch
was frequently in charge of her hus-
bands saloon and had several conversa-
tons with Luetgert regarding the disap-
pearance of his wife. She has been re-
garded as one of the States strongest
witnesses, being one of the few who
saw SLiohe usSuiliS ITOlll JIe IdCUOfy the
night Mrs. Luetgert disappeared. She
swore that Luetgert had urged her not
to say anything about the smoke, as it
might get him in troubel. Witness de-
tailed how Luetgert had recited his do
mestic unhappiness and had told her of
the contempt with which he had regard
ed his wife. He had, she said, told her
that his feelings against his wife were
so bitter that he could crush her. Wit
ness also told Of how pale Luetgert was
on May 2, and on one occasion had told
her that he felt like killing himself and
would do so if it were not for leaving
his little children.
Before the taking of testimony began
to-day, attorneys for the defence asked
the court to compel the State to set
forth by what means, according to the
theory Of the prosecution, the life of
Mrs. Luetgert was taken before her body
was placed in the vat. The Indictment
contained twelve counts, but did net
state the manner of Mars. Luetgert's
death. The court decided that the State
was not bound to specify the means Of
death.
Watchman Bialk will resume the wit
ness stand tomorrow.

Washington, Aug. 31.-ConsuLGeneral

stances attending the arrest of the young
Cuban girl, Evangelina Cossio Cisneros.

deal Of the romance that was attached

girl is not the niece Of the Marquis of

claimed, but is the brother Of poor
and respectable Cuban, named Augustin
Cossio. Her mothers name being Cis-
neros, was added to her own. According
to the Spanish custom, making her full
name Evangelina Cossio Cisneros. More
over General Lee reports that the girl is
not an only daughter, nor has she been
raised in wealth and luxury, but is one
of FIVE or six children.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
a Handsomely Dressed Woman Suicides
in Il Chicago Hotel.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 31.-A handsome
young woman whose name is unknown
killed herself this morning in the Victoria
Hotel, where she was a guest The sui
eide was evidently carried out with the
utmost deliberation, as the young woman
had evidently slept in the bed during the
might, taken a bath in the morning, made
up the bed, and then swallowed morphine
and lay down to die.
At 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon she
entered the hotel and informed the clerk
that she was on long journey and
wished to remain in Chicago for a day
for the purpose of resting. She paid for
her room in advance, as she had no bag
gage, and registered as Miss Blanche
Wilson, New York City. She requested
that if she failed to rise early in the
morning she be allowed to sleep, as she
was very tired. She was shown to her
room, and that was the last seen of her
alive. After repeated knocks had failed
to arouse her, the room was forced and
she was found dead on the bed. She was
clad only in her night robe. A vial which
had contained morphine was ON the bed
and upon a chair was her clothing folded
neatly. The dress and linen were of ex-
pensive materials. Sealed in an envelope
which bore no address a note was found
on the table. 1t read:
ITO whoever you may be: Please do not
try to find out who l am, 1 ask and beg
of you, whoever you may be, and remem-
ber it is my last favor l ask on earth, as
q dying woman. And for my mothers
sake don't try. don't care what you dc
with my body. Remember, please don't
try for my mothers sake"
There was no signature to the note 1t
was penned in small feminine hand and
the formation of the letters indicated that
the hand which held the pen was trem-
bling. The bed had evidently been made
up hurriedly after being slept in, and the
had taken bath and dressed her
hair carefully before taking the poison.
On her finger was plain gold band and
on the inside was engraved "a. M. E."
In a bundle Of four collars two were
marked "L. FL. Co." one ga. D. A" and
)ne 81. NJ"
A collar which she had been wearing
was marked similarly to one of the col
ars in the package, 81. FL. g."

Crops Rapidly Absorbing Money.

large sums of money are being shipped

of the most prominent financial institu-

the middle of last week and orders are
still coming it. The sub-Treasury at this
city has not had as many currency or
ders as was usual, but this is ascribed to
the lateness of the crops in the South
west. Altogether it is estimated that
fully $5,000,000 of "crop money" has
been shipped from this city the past
fortnight. The Southern credits are in
better shape just now than they have
been in several years and the general
outlook in that section and the South
west as viewed from here is equally
