PEROT ABDUCTION CASE.
Comes Up Before the High Court of
England.

LONDON, Aug. H. The Queens
Bench Division of the High Court OF
Justice was the scene of a second de-
velopment in the case of Mrs. William
Y. Perot, charged with the abduction
of her daughter Gladys from Balti-
more.
Judge Lawrence fixed 10 o'clock this
morning as the time for hearing the
affidavit which w. H. Perot, the father
in-law of Mrs. Perot handed yesterday
to Mr.. Rose-Innes, counsel for Mrs.
Perot This document is remarkably
strong both in terms and alleged facts,
and from the nature of these the case
was heard in camera, the only persons
present at the proceedings being w. H.
Perot, Detectives Gait and Collins, So
licitor General Richards, Mr.. Roset
Innes, representing Mrs. Perot; New
ton Crane, who appeared for w. IL.
Perot, and a reporter of the Associated
Press.
Il only received the affidavit in this
case at 10 O'Clock yesterday. Taking
I into the account the fact that it is re-
markably strong, tracing the career Of
my client since her marriage, and that
it contains allegations of the worst
character, I must ask you to adjourn
the case to a convenient day, that we
may have an opportunity of answer
ing it, If I read to your lordship para
graph Z you will see wherein lies
the strength of my application. 1t
states that, whereas Letitia Perot has
been leading an immoral life since
1892, cohabiting successfully with three
persons, and during the past three
years has dwelt and cehabited with
John Neptune Blood, barrister, as his
wife and further has been residing
with the same in company with the
child, Gladys, since her return to Eng
land, she is an unfit person to take
charge and control of the child"
Continuing, Mr. RoseInnes said:
"Now may I point out that the whole
of that paragraph is false? There is
no John Neptune Blood, barrister.
Mrs. Perot has been residing with her
sisters the entire time since she came
to England. We want to answer this
affidavit in extenso."
Newton Crane then urged there was
no necessity to argue the case now. A
writ, he added may issue and in that
case it may be argued.
The Judge, in giving judgment, said:
IT shall order the child to remain in
custody of her mother until Wednes-
day, on the undertaking of Mr.. Rose
Innes, that the child is produced in
court"
Mr. Resell nes gave the undertake
ing and the proceedings ended.
During the hearing William H. Perot
was an interested spectator of the fight
for the possession of the child, occa-
sionally prompting counsel.
Neither Mrs Perot nor any of her
friends were present.

EX-SPEAKER REED.
Returns From His Trip to Europe
on the Steamer st. Paul.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12-Among the
passengers on the ST. Paul which ar
rived here to-day from Southampton
and Cherbourg were ex-Speaker
Thomas B. Reed, Senator w. J. Sewell
of New Jersey, Richard Croker and
Daniel Frohman.
A reporter tried to interview Speaker
Reed, but he did not have much sue
sess
There is a rumor that you are going
back to Washington. Is it true?" asked
the reporter.
Us there? Well, just now, I'm going
to Maine" said Mr.. Reed.
The ex-Speaker was asked whether
he intended to become a resident of
New York, but he declined to answer
the question. He also declined to ex-
press an opinion as to the result of the
Peace Conference at The Hague.
Mr.. Croker said he was sorry the
Mazet Committee had adjourned. I'D
like them to keep right on" he said.
They are making 10000 Democrats a
day in New York City and State, and
the longer they keep up the good work
the better it will be with the party"
Mr.. Croker refused to say anything
as to his plans He did not know, he
said, whether he would go to Saratoga
to confer with the Democrats who are
there or not

WEST INDIES STORM.
A Bulletin Issued by the United
States Weather Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - The
Weather Bureau issued the following
bulletin at II: 45 this morning:
Hurricane center approaching Jup-
iter Fla. Hurricane signals ordered
as far north as Charleston and special
warnings of character of storm given.
Widest distribution in South Atlantic
States. All shipping interests notified"
The Weather Bureau was unable from
the reports received this morning to
tell whether the storm would continue
on it's course Westward throughout the
Gulf of Mexico, or curve up the ATTAIN
tic Coast and out to sea. The latter
is the usual course of the storms from
the West Indies at this season of the
year, but since 1878 two have continued
on their way across the gulf. Gable
communication with Nassau has been
interrupted since 1890 last night and
nothing has been heard from the island
since.
The storm of course, will not affect
the cable, but the land lines may be
destroyed as it was in several cases
on the island of Porto Rico.
The hurricane travelled about 1,2O0
miles since Monday, which is at the
rate of about 400 miles per day. 1t is
now central over the Gulf stream, with
the edge just touching the Florida
coast. AS a rule, while crossing the
Gulf stream, a hurricane increases in
intensity. 1t has reached critical
point in it's journey, the place where 1t
usually recurves to the north. This is
the point where it's intensity is usually
most severe. TIE very high barometer
at Bermuda has had the effect of keep
ing the hurricane off to the south and
west, as hurricanes always follow the
path of least resistance, and this is one
of the reasons why the Weather Bureau
officials are inclined to believe that the
storm may continue to the westward
through the gulf.
The diameter of this hurricane, SO far
as can be judged from reports, is I'M
usually narrow, not over 400 miles. The
fact that the present storm is narrow
in diameter indicates that it is OF
greater severity than usual.

the semi-official German papers are be-
ginning to hint pretty plainly that the
Transvaal can expect no help from
Germany may combine with the Brit
ish Government steady preparations
for war to hasten a satisfactory settle
ment. In any case, no military moves
ments would be possible until October.
A rumor is current that Great Brit
ain has secured a concession from Por-
tugal, providing that in the event OF
hostilities in South Africa Great Brit
ain would be permitted to land troops
at Delagoa Bay and march them into
the Transvaal. This rumor, however,
lacks confirmation and is generally dis
credited.
The decision of Hon. Sir Ford North.
Judge of the Chancery Division of the
High Court of Justice, investing copy
right in speeches in reporters, has pro-
.voked an unusual flood of comment,
generally adverse, as likely to render
still more complicated the yexed ques-
ton of copyrights. There is little doubt
that the decision will be appealed
against, as legal opinion by no means
universally supports Justice North's
judgment.
Emperor William has decided to Of
fer another gold cup for Dover He'll
goland race in 1900, with the important
modification that the limitation of ton

minimum of eighty instead of fifty

The German Emperor's yacht Meteor
secured another cup at Ryde yester-
day, thus winning with the greatest
ease every event she has contested
since she left Kiel Her remarkable
success is attributed to a great extent
to the light weather which has pre-
vailed, but regrets are keener than ever
that no opportunity was found to try
her with the Shamrock.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-James i. Mil
ner, sheep raiser and ranch owner of
Musseldhell, Yellowstone County, Mon
tana, to-day filed bill in the Superior
Court, making charges of fraud against
the Sibley Warehouse Company. Miner
claims that under the name of Chicago
Wool Exchange the warehouse got 3d.
600 pounds of wool from him. and that
it was disposed of contrary to his ord

that the name Wool Exchange is used
simply to get shipments of wool, and
the directory of the concern is identical
with that of the warehouse.

Joined from doing business therein. The

Der of other firms and corporations
