REFLECTED ON POLICE.

The attorney refused to state where
he had obtained the $3.50 or how it
came into his hands, but he turned
over the cash and took a receipt from
Chief Goss for the amount. There We're
rumOrs about the person who had been
in possession Of the money from the
time Furey planted it in the toilet
room of the saloon until it reached
the hands of Chief Goss. One story
was to the effect that an officer of the
police department had retained the
money and intended to stick to it, If
possible. Such a fuss was made, how
ever, that the coin became too hot to
hold, and the result was that it finally
reached Chief Goss and was placed
with the other $500 stolen from Roe
puck and locked up in the safe in the
office of Chief Goss.
The statements made and the re-
Election cast on the police department
by reason of the affair reached the
attention of Mayor Doran. An effort
was made to smother the facts, anu
the mayor said no report had reacned
his ears. But the affair Wouldn [

an investigation.

AIDS BROTHER GEORGE.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
Journal from London, says: There is
a persistent rumOr in London that a Sc
rious disagreement has arisen be-
tween the Princess of Wales and the
rest of the court over the situation in
Greece.
The princess arrived in England re-
Gently from a visit to her father, the
King of Denmark, who is the father
of King George, of Greece. Ever since
the Cretan question was first raised,
the princess has been a strong partisan
of Greece. She took pains to make her
preferences publicly when the Daily
Chronicle started a fund in aid of
Greece by subscribing to it eagerly
and cheerfully."
OF course it would be humiliating to
the Danish royal family if King
George were to lose his throne and
there are enough members of that fam
lily in European courts to exert great
influence to prevent his downfall.
1t remains to be seen however wheth-
er the Princess of Wales has sufficient
influence to affect Lord Salisbury's
policy with regard to Greece.

Telegraph News.

New York, May IA dispatch to
the Herald from Kingston, Jamaica,
says:
News has just been received here of
an awful series Of earthquakes
throughout the chain of Leeward Is
lands that caused the loss of hundreds
of lives. it is reported. All the is
lands in the group are said to have
been affected.
The loss of life has been very large,
but at this time, owing to the imperfect
means of communication between the
islands, it is impossible to estimate it
definitely.
Many buildings have collapsed dur
ing the most serious shocks which oc-
Cured yesterday morning and lasted
forty seconds. The damage to prop
erty will probably prove to be very
large.
Montserrat, one of the smaller is
lands of the group has been the worst
sufferer. In common with the other
islands, it experienced a severe shock
yesterday, but the trembling of the
earth began last Friday and continued
throughout the week.
The inhabitants of the islands, ac-
cording to reports received here, are in
a state of the widest panic and many
of the towns have been practically de-
serted, the inhabitants having taken
to the boats in large numbers.
Residents of Montserrat, after
week of terror, are abandoning their
homes and seeking means of communi-
cation with the main land and the
neighbOring islands.
The seismic disturbances began
week ago today with slight trembling
of the earth's surface which lasted on
ly a few seconds which was hardly no.
ticed. This was followed at frequent
intervals by shocks, each of which
lasted longer than the last and was
more intense, until yesterday when
there was a great roar and the ground
shook for fully forty seconds. Hous-
es fell in and their occupants were
buried in the ruins.
Reports from the other islands are
very unsatisfactory as to details. 1t
is known here that Antigua, the prin-
cipal island of the group, and Guada-
lupe have suffered severely but the ex-
tent of the loss of life and property is
not yet known.
Accompanying the earthquake was
the tidal wave, which, it is reported
here, wrecked many a small craft. The
seas rose to a great height and caus-
ed inCalCulable damage.

Prince Bismarck knew very well
that what Russophile Frenchmen

Large Sums of Money Depends on the
Results of the Decision.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 1.-The TAX
ing of testimony in the Kansas City
stock yards case, growing out of the
efforts of the stock yards company to
prevent the enforcement of the recently
passed Kansas law reducing yardage
charges has been commenced here.
To the Stock Yards company, which
is the second largest in the country,
the result of this case means thousands
if not millions of dollars. The purpose
Of the Stock Yards people is to prove
that the present charges are reasona-
BILE; that the prices fixed by the Kan
sas Legislature are luminous, If enforc-
ed, and that in attempting to fix the
rates in the state is interfering with
interstate commerce. The yards lie
in both Kansas and Missouri, being on
the state line. H. p. Child, president
of the Stock Yards company, was the
first witness. He stated that, outside
of realty, the company had invested
total of over a million and half in
buildings, etc. In a year he said,the
of Kansas gained 81, 100000 by
sending their stock to Kansas City in
stead of Chicago.
Kansas City, he said, was the largest
market for "stOckers and feeders" in
the United States.

HIS OWN LAW.

Robert GOtthard was before Recor-
der Lewis this morning for refusing
to pay hack hire, but was dismissed,
his wife having settled the bill yester-
day.
The driver, a boy, had had him ar
rested and afterward went to his wife
and offered to compromise if she would
pay the bill which she did.
This morning he. told the recorder
the circumstances and said he did not
care to testify. Mr.. Lewis gave him
a lecture for thus trying to take the
law into his own hands, by effecting
a compromise after having the man ar
rested, and made him testify anyway.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease Says That's
the Reason Of the Disasters.
Topeka, Kas., May Mrs. Mary Ell
len Lease, in an interview regarding
the recent disasters in Oklahoma and
the political and social history of the
territory said:
The people of Ell Reno who prayed
daily for rain ought to have been
building an ark. l believe in prayer
but what mockery such a prayer is in
Oklahoma. The curse of the Almighty
rets upon that land. That was the
last bit of ground left for the Indians.
They had been driven there from ev-
cry quarter of the continent But by the
greed of the white man was forced to
go. Then God frowned upon the ter
ritory. Look at the crime that has
been committed in oklahoma; look at
the drought; look at the deluge at
Guthrie, Ell Reno and elsewhere. Do
you doubt that hte land of Jehovah is
in these things. If He had been
pleased with the people would He have
washed their homes away with ang-
ny fiOods?"

EULOGISES DRUMMOND.

Ian MacLaren Has Only Praises and
Good Words for the Evangelist.
New York, May lin an article on
the late Prof. Henry Drummond. by
Ian MacLaren in the May number of
the North American Review, the fol-
lowing passage occurs which is of spe-
ctal interest as bearing upon the recent
trial of Ian MacLaren by the Synod of
the English Presbyterian church:
When one saw the unique and
priceless work which he DrummondD
did, it was ineXplicable that the relig-
ious world should have cast this man,
of all others out, and has lifted up it's
voice against him. Had religion so
many men of beautiful and winning
life, so many thinkers of wide range
and genuine culture, so many speakers
who could move young men by hun
dredS towards the kingdom of God
that she could afford or have the heart
to withdraw her influence from Drum
mond? Was there ever such madness
and irony before Heaven as good peo-
pie lifting up their testimony and
writing articles against this most gra-
Cious disciple of the Master, because
they did not agree with him about
certain things he said or some theory
he did not teach? What can be done
an eminent evangelist once did me the
humOr to ask, TO heal the breach be-
tween the religious world and Drum
mond' and l dared to reply that in my
poor judgment the first step ought to
be for the religious world to repent of
it's sins and make amends to Drum
mond for it's bitterness. The evange-
list indicated that so far as he knew
Of this world it was very unlikely to do
any such deed; and l did not myself
remember any instance of repentance
on the part of the Pharisees.
Never did my friend (DrummOnd(
say one unkind word Of the world
which condemned him; but ii may be
allowed to another to say that if any
one wishes to indict the professional
religionists of our time for bigotry
and stupidity, painful and unanswer-
able proof lies ready to his hand in
the fact that the finest evangelist of
the day was treated as 4 Samaritan"

New York, May IA dispatch to the
Herald from Salonica says:
An Englishman who arrived here last
night from VolO, where he had been
four days, says that the scenes of pan
ic and confusion there are indescrib-
able. Law and order, he says, have
disappeared and all semblance of au-
thority is gone.
The whole beach is strewn with bag
gage and people are clamOring and
waiting for ships which do not come.
Rifles are being promiscuously SER
we'd out and cartridges are thrown in
heaps in the streets and the people are
filling their pockets with them.
The Englishman saw the Greek
troops alight at VelestinO. The fugi-
tives, rushing in without money or
provisions, intermingled with the SOL
diers who had thrown their arms away
so as not to impede their flight.
He also saw the captain of an Amer
lean ship, who left Athens on the 18th.
He said that the people were terribly
bitter against the royal family and
would kill any of it's members If they
could get at them.
