st. Francis Orphan Asylum Donation Day
Yesterday.

Donation day at st. Francis orphan
asylum yesterday found the three hun
dred children or more sheltered be-
meath the asylum's home-like roof in
holiday attire, with bright and smil-
ing faces and their city rull of friends
outside the asylum with open pocket
books and hearts ready for cheerful
giving. Many who called at the asy-
lum and heard the recitations and sing
ing by the children in their school
rooms were pleasantly entertained.
Superintendent of Schools Kendall
sent up word that the school exercises
might be omitted, and the privilege
was appreciated by the youngsters.
The total value of money and mer-
chandize collected yesterday cannot be
ascertained for day or two, as all the
parishes will not have made their re-
turns before that time Each parish
has a committee to collect from the
people of the parish. When the contri-
pullOIS are all III tilG central
at the asylum accredits each parish
with the amount of money donated and
the estimated value of the merchandise
given. 1t is safe to say that the do
nations this year will equal and per-
haps be a little in excess of those of
last year, when they exceeded $1,000.

RUSSIAN COUNTESS KILLS HERSELF.
Puts Bullet Through Her Temple in a
Police Station.

Edinburgh, Nov. 17-There was
tragic occurrence in a police station
here last evening. A woman apparent
ly about twenty years of age, and fash
ionably dressed in deep mourning, who
said she was the Countess Teresa Ul-
field, a Russian, adding that she had
come to Scotland a fortnight ago. via
Copenhagen, and that she was in
mourning for her dead lover, complain
ed to the police officer on duty that
she had been robbed of her purse, con-
tanning a large sum of money. The
countess was apparently in great dis
tress and as the officer turned round
to enter her complaint in the station
blotter she drew a revolver and killed
herself by shooting herself through the
temple Only few shillings were found
on her person.
The police promptly began an investi-
cation and soon found the hotel where
the countess had been stopping. An
examination of her rooms developed
the fact that a large correspondence
had been torn up into such small
pieces as to render it almost utterly
impossible to read any of it. She had
given her address as the Cloister of
st. Marie, Moscow. Two photographs
were found among the effects of the
deceased. One was that of a young
officer in the Russian army and was
signed Alexander Romanoff." 1t is
supposed to be that of the fiancee The
other photograph was that of Spanish
officer who had visited. the countess

hotel people say the deceased countess
was well educated and had evidently
been accustomed to move in the best

FIGHTING OVER WEYLER
CAMPAIGN For and AGAINST A
POPULAR DEMONSTRATION.

1t is Officially Denied That the Ex-Gover-
nor-General of Cuba is to be Sent to the
Phiilipines-Basis of Scheme for Cuban
Autonomy-New Secretary General to
Cuba Very Unpopular.
Corunna, Nov. 17.-There is violent
campaign, here for and against pop
ular demonstration in honor of General
Weyler when he arrives from Havana.
The moderate republicans and Carlists
are in favor of q demonstration and are
doing everything possible to organize
reception for the general. On the
other hand, the republicans, liberals
and socialists are organizing a counter
demonstration. The general public is
Indifferent. General Weyler's son was
serenaded to-day on his arrival from
Cuba.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
the report that the government intends,
in return for his services as governor
general of Cuba, to appoint General
Weyler governor-general of the Philip
pines is officially denied. According to
a dispatch from Santandar, on the Bay
of Biscay, the partisans and friends of
General Weyler are making lavish
preparations to welcome him on his re-
turn.
Owing to the indisposition Of Senior
Moret the meeting Of the Spanish cabi-
the dis
cussion of Cuban autonomy this even
ing was postponed. The principal basis
of the scheme to be considered when
the cabinet meets are the enjoyment
of all the rights accorded by the Span
ish constitution, without any curtail-
ment whatever; the identity Of politi-
cal and civil rights for Spaniards and
Cubans, without distinction of race or
color, and the creation Of Cuban
chamber, all the members of which are
to- be elected by popular vote. A Gu
ban senate is to be created later on.
A dispatch from Havana says that
the new secretary general Of Cuba, Dr..
Jose Congosta, formerly Spanish con-
sui at Philadelphia, apparently contin-
ues to make himself unpopular. He
has had a dispute with a prominent
conservative, Senor Francisco de las
Santos Cuzman, a former president of
congress, and he has had another mis-
understanding with prominent auton-
omist, Senor Cueto with the result, it is
understood, that letters have been writ
ten to Madrid calling attention to the
alleged eccentricities of the secretary
general and also dwelling upon his pc
culiar political sentiments.

A TREATY NOT EXPECTED
or THE ESEALING FX-
PERTS NOT Il TOTAE FAILURE,

Officers of State Department Surprised at
Reports That They Were-Canadians in
Their Short Stay Hoped to Acquire Ac-
curate Information as to Views of This
Country-Canada Wishes Consideration.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE officers of
the state department were very much
surprised at the reports of the total
failure of the Canadian negotiations
which appeared to-day in several morn
ing newspapers. One of them said to-
day: ......
THAT view is not taken by the gov
ernment at Washington. The represen-
tatives of the Canadian government
who have just left the city did not come
to Washington with any expectation
of concluding any arrangement or
treaty during their brief stay. They
entertained views upon the question of
the sealing regulations and hoped to
acquire accurate information as to the
views of our government upon the re-
naming questions which their preced-
ing government in Canada had failed
to adjust.
THE only fact stated in the publica-
tions referred to is that under the ia
vorable influences prevailing, the seal
experts agreed on a report. This re-
port will furnish a good basis for fur
ther action. 1t goes without saying
that Canada is not disposed to make
a concession upon the seals without
some consideration to Canada. What
such concessions shall be Is a question
not yet disposed of. There aas not
been the slightest check to the negotia-
tions further than the inevitable delay
in the settlement of the sealing ques-
ton.
''The Canadian representatives were
Hospitality received, frankly talked
with and participated in a free and
frank discussion. If ever irritating
questions can be removed between the
United States and Canada, they can be
disposed of under the administrations
now charged with the conduct of af-
fairs in the United States and Canada"

1TGER.S' LAST PRACTICE.
Baird Did Not Play Being Ill with Ton
siIitis-Kelly Appeared,

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 1.-THE Tigers
lined up for the last practice game of
the season against a strong scrub team
this afternoon and succeeded in scoring
two touchdowns in the first half of
open practice and two more during Sc
cret practice In the second half King
Kelly made his appearance in uniform
the first time since his shoulder was
injured, and was received with warm
applause In all probability Kelly, al
though he did not practice to-day, will
be able to play at least one half against
Yale. Baird did not play, being ill with
tonsilitis. 1t is doubtful if he will be
able to play more than one half against
Yale.

offered by the Alleged wife-NIrs. Walk
ups Butler, However, Says the Ceres
mony Was Performed in Milwaukee.
Chicago, Nov. 17.-Relatives of the
late John B. Ketcham, who left big
fortune, will contest his will, if such
an instrument is in existence. on the
ground that he was not only Of un-
sound mind at the time he may have
signed, but for ten months previous
Ketchams two brothers, and two sisters
win also deny that their brother was
legally married to Minnie Wallace Wall
kup. Attorney Purnell, who has charge
of the case for the Ketchams says he
has abundant proof that Ketcham had
been mentally unsound for almost a
year, and that there has been no proof
of a marriage with Mrs. Wallzup Offer
ed by the alleged wife. The attorney
has already served notice on the Illinois
Trustees Savings bank to restrain Mrs.
Walkup from having access to the safe
ty box in which the dead clubman kept
his securities. He will also notify the
court that the will be contested as soon
as filed.
Mrs. Walkup's butler, Joseph Keller.
according to his story, accompanied
Jchn Ketcham and Mrs. Walkup to Mill
waukee on September "a and was a wit.
ness to the ceremony which made them
man and wife. Rev. Mr.. Roberts Of
Milwaukee, who performed the cene-
mony, opens up rather startling possi-
bilities by saying, when shown a photo
Of Keller, that the picture much mora
resembles the man whom he married
to Mrs. Walkup than did the picture
of John B. Ketcham. Several Of the
buffers prominent features, including
small mustache which was not a pecu-
liarity of Ketcham, were carefully not
ed by Mr.. Roberts as common to both
Keller and the bridegroom. To add to
the sensation caused by the statement
Of the Milwaukee minister, Keller has
disappeared. The police believe that
Keller has left the city in order that no
words of his may involve his mistress
in further trouble.
Emporia, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE death
in Chicago Of John B. Ketchanl, shortly
after his marriage to Mabel Estelle
Wallace, the widow Of John r. Walkup,
tried here twelve years ago, recalls the
sensational ending Of the case, in which
Mrs Walkup's testimony secured an ac-
quittal just as everything seemed to be
against her.
The prosecuting attorney claimed
that Mrs Wallkup had purchased arse
mic while en- route to Emporia on her
wedding trip and that she purchased
qualities of the poison in Emporia. The
defence did not deny that Walkup was
poisoned with arsenic, but said he took
an overdose while taking the poison for
medicine. The climax Of the case was
reached when Mrs. Walkup was placed
on the stand. She was very beautiful,
and before she finished giving testimo-
ny the lawyers, juIymen and judge
wept. A verdict Of acquittal was rem
dered. Shortly after the trial Mrs
Walkup left Emporia and very little
has been heard Of her since.
