CANADA'S SPROTESTJUSTIFIED
English Press Severely Criticises America
on Sealing Question.
Accuses This Government of BAD
Faith and Calls the Proposed
Conference q Trap.

LONDON, October s. The St James
Gazette, this afternoon, referring to the
formal announcement of Great Britain's
declination to take part in the Bering sea
conference, to which Russia and japan
might be parties, says:
There will be a feeling of relief that
Great Britain. in behalf of Canada, has
nnaily declined to walk into the trap which
was being arranged at Washington Amer
lea has never paid the damages for the il
legal seizure Of Canadian sealers, and has
exhausted every diplomatic artifice to evade
the award, finally demanding a fresh confer
ence. The Marquis of Salisbury consented,
Whereupon America calmly proposed that
Russia and Japan should have seats at the
conference, with the obvious intention of
outvoting England and upsetting, by a
side wind, the Paris award"
Inc Globe commenting on the same sub
Ject, this afternoon says:
AS mere matter of business 1t is time
that a firm check was put upon the policy
OF tne United States in dealing with this
country. There is no cause to adopt the
tneory that the Marquis of Salisbury al
most reGretfully refuses to participate. In
the interests of Canada it is well to lie, the
unlteo states understand that no settle
ment OF the question will satisfy Great
Britain which sacrifices one lot or title
the Just and equitable rights of the loyaI
Dominion Of Canada"

WIFE THOUGHT HIM DEAD
James Baird Returns to His Home Under
Sensational Circumstances.
His Supposed Corpse Was Identified
by His Wife In n suburb
of Chicago.

LYONS, Iowa, October S-Several years
ago, at Port Byron, ILL.,, James Baird was
united in marriage to Miss Dorrance-
Later they removed to Chicago, and some
time ago removed to this city. On August
IA. without warning and leaving no trace,
Baird disappeared. Some time afterward
there appeared in the Chicago papers the
account of the finding of the dead body OF
a man in "a heap of rubbish in the rear Of
Chicago. The description, which Tailed
with that of the missing man, met the eye
of the wife, who went to Chicago, arriving
there September 3, to find that the body
had been buried in the potter's field.
The body was located, disinterred, and it
was found that while decompoSure rendered
the features unrecognizable, the size of the
body and the general appearance of the
hair, beard and muStache reSembled that
of the missing man. AS last test the
wife said that her husband, who had been
i soldier in the late war, bore upon one
shoulder a long, deep scar, from wound
received in service. The clothing was re-
moved, and there upon the shoulder Of the
body was a scar of the kind stated.
Owing to the condition of the remains it
was impossible to remove them. and they
were reinterred in the patters field, while
the wife returned sorrowing to her home
here.
Now her grief is turned to rejoicing, for
the husband mourned as dead returned
home last night, alive and we'll. He offers
no explanation of his mysterious absence

building

THE MONEY ORDER SERVICE.
1t Will Be Greatly Extended During
the Present Administration.

The Post Office Department has adopted
the policy of a general extension of the
money order system. First Assistant Post
mester General Heath believes that any
post office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints have
been constantly filed by business houses
that their correspondents at villages are
unable to send money orders because their
post offices have no. such facilities. Dur
Ing the past fiscal year almost 27,0O0, 600
money orders were issued, amounting to
little less than 500, 1000, 900. The interna-
tional money orders issued during the year,
purchased principally by workmen sending
money to friends or relatives in foreign
countries, amounted to SIS. .000, ,000 while the
amounts drawn on the United States by
foreign countries did not exceed 5000, 600
During the Harrison administration, it is
stated at the department, there was
large extension< of money order offices,
about 10000 having been established. Dur
ing the last four years the number was in
creased by only 1,600 on the theory, it is said.
that there were too many post offices. The
total number of money order offices now in
operation is about 1900, and the number
probably will be increased to 10000 before
the next fiscal year..
General Superintendent Metcalf of the
money order office said today that the cost
to the department Of maintaining the
money order service at post office is less
than cents year, even II the Office
transacts no money order business. If it
issues orders amounting to SO 1t is source
of revenue and helps pay the general postal
expenses. The money order business now
brings to the government a gross revenue
of million dollars in fees, mostly net, and
accordingly the more orders issued the
more revenue.
The Russian empire, which has recently
established money order service, has Just
submitted to this government proposition
asking for a convention, or agreement, for
money order exchange between Russia
and the United States. similar to the money
order exchanges now in operation between
this government and thirty-seven other
countries The details of the arrangement
are now being perfected, and 1t is probable
that money orders can pass between the
two countries early in the coming year
The only difficulty in the arrangement is
the payment of the balance. as the ex-
change issued here is only in paper roubles
which differ in value from the gold roubles
This obstacle. however, will be satisfac-
torily adjusted.

Big Discrepancies Discovered in City
Of Brooklyn's Accounts.
CREDITED TO BAD BOOKKEEPING
Officials Deny That There Has
Been Any MaIfessance.
EPORT OF XPERTS

NEW YORK, October Controller
Fitch's expert accountants who have been
at work investigating the records and ac-
counts of Brooklyn, preparatory to consoli-
dation, having found discrepancies in ac-
counts amounting to $5,OO0.OOO. The details
of the experts report are as follows:
The records of the towns of Flatlands,
Flatbush, New Lots, New Utrecht and
Gravesend, which the officials of these
towns say were turned over to the con-
troller and corporation counsel of Brook
lyn when they were merged into Brooklyn,
cannot be found, and their absence inter-
feres materially with a proper investiga-
tion. There are disagreements between the
books of the controller of Brooklyn and
those of the registrar Of arrears.
Confusion in the Records.
In the department of arrears is the ut
most confusion in the records. The ledgers
are some 225 in number, containing over
100000 accounts, are not in balance. and
apparently have never been balanced, and
while on January /, 1897, the balance to
the debit of the register are in arrears on
the books of the controller was So AS, 12S,
the balance carried by the registrar of ar
rears as representing taxes and assess
ments in arrears was $3,714,S26. and while
the general ledgers shows that arrears of
taxes prior to 1893 have been overpaid
S11,253 the ward ledgers disclose many
items Of unpaid taxes.
The experts allege that the books of ac-
count of the city of Brooklyn and of the
county Of Kings ere extremely faulty in
method and inaccurate in detail and do not
truthfully set forth the assets and liabili-
ties OF the city and county.
Discrepancy I'm Bonded Debt.
The experts also report that, upon the
basis of this assessed valuation of real es-
tate in 1896, the net bonded debt was on
October 6, 1897, as set forth in the books
Of the controller of Brooklyn, $4S1 ,907 less
than the constitutional limit of indebted
ness, and that, based on the assessed real
estate valuation of 1897, it was On October
6, 1897. including awards made fer bonds
not yet issued, only S914,16 less than the
constitutional limit of Indebtedness
The city of New York is now $40, GA, 1S2
within the constitutional limit of its in
debtedness.
officials Deny Malfeasnnce.
. Officials of Brooklyn deny that there is
or has been any malfeasance, and allege
that the discrepancies reported by Con-
troller Fitch's experts are die in large
part to the defective system of bookkeep-
ing followed in the towns which were re-

Young Chicago Woman Found Dead
With Revolver Near.

CHICAGO. October Styling in clump

stated that she was tired Of living, and.
in fact, tired of everything. The note was

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October S.--Reports
from all the cities of Ohio, where general

off is from 80 to 80 per cent.
There are three more registration days,
hut the bulk of the vote is generally regis
tered the first cay. Not one-fourth of it
was registered yesterday, and it is hard to
explain except on the hypothesis that there
is apathy among the voters. There is moth
ing in the registration returns to show that
either party is getting the worst of IT..
1t is a significant fact that the Cincinnati
