Ruse-His LOrdly Palace.
He did not want to leave London, but
by a ruse they induced HIM to go on
board a steamer to see a nephew off to
the cape, and he was kept talking in the
cabin until the ship had parted with
the tender. He was thus shipped away
against his will. This explains a story
made much Of at the time and now
revived-that he went the last time to
South Africa so unexpectedly that he
had only the clothes he stood in. His
condition became worse instead of bet
ter. He made public exhibition of in
sanity at Johannesburg about six weeks
ago, but it was attributed to temporary
causes.
His friends knew better, however,
and a good deal Of selling his securities
for a fall has been INDUCED in during
the slump by well informed specula-
tors. The collapse has not been as great
as was looked for. because the Belts
and other big South African houses
have combined to keep up prices At
the same time it has been more than
sufficient to prevent a newly attempted
boom in these securities on which the
stock exchange has been reckoning for
few weeks.
