RESCUED FROM A MADHOUSE
Countess of Durham, After Seventeen
Years of Hopeless Insanity, Re-
covers Her Reason.

Copyright. 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, March 11.-CNew York World
Cablegram-SpeCial Telegram.) )-London So
ciety is astounded by an even more extra
ordinary recovery of mental powers after
long years of arrangement than that OF
Lord Seton, whose case was described in
a recent dispatch. The countess of Durham,
after seventeen years of apparently hope
less insanity, has completely recovered her
reason, and is now staying at her husbands S
country seat She was the heroine of one
of the most curious and exciting aristoCratic
causes celebre of the past half century
When she was Miss Miner the young earl of
Durham. one of Englands wealthiest peers.
fell madly in love with her. She was in good
society, but ne was deemed one of the best
catches of his day, so she was regarded as
exceptionally lucky. Miss Miner was very
tall, handsome blonde, with peculiarly beau
tiful eyes.
Within six months of the marriage Lord
Durham became convinced that his beautiful
wife was mad. She was entirely insensible
TO his affection and passed most of her time
in a state Of complete abstraction. Every
thing wGs done TO rouse her but in vain.
Once when in a brilliant party travelling in
a special saloon train TO Yorkshire, Lord
Durham made the experiment of kissing an
other lady, the beautiful Countess DeGrey
before his wife's eyes, to see if she would
take any notice. She was indifferent even
to this provocation, so all the party con-
cluded there could be no doubt of her in
sanity.
After that she got completely out OF
control and went out early in the morning
till late at night, having walked aimlessly
through country lanes or London streets the
and hunger, her dress often covered with
mud Finally at grand ball at the duke
of Abercorn's Hampden house the unfortu
nate lady was undressing herself in a bal
room when her friends succeeded in cOaxnl
her away. She had then to be removed to
an asylum, whore she has since remained.
Lord Durham instituted a suit for divorce
on the unprecedented ground in England that
his wife was mad when she married him but
the court held, after protracted trial, that
pre- marital insanity was no ground for di
vorce They have not met since her release
last week, and the earl's friends say it is i'm
possible for them ever TO live together again
after what has happened. Lady Durham
shows no desire to appear in society and
will probably pass the remainder Of her days
in seclusion. Her brother Henry Miner
! who married the late duchess of Montrose
and her sister, Lady Gerard are with heI
and the report describes her as having re-
tanned her beauty and youth in a marvellous
manner.

Of the operations in the field, leaving Cen

LONDON. March 1.-THE British lion and
the Russian bear came to uncomfortably
close quarters this week over the Chinese
imbroglio. The newspapers had alresdy be-
CUR. 20 talk of a serious crisis and grave
outlook. but the diplomatic switchmen
again succeeded in wardlnE off a collision
on the subject Of the northern railroad, a
conflict being averted by q Russian back
down, according to the Jingoes, and by a
compromise, according to more impartial OBJ
servers.
The real explanation Of the affair ap-
pears to be that Russia made a protest
against the British railroad contract partly
as a feeler and partly as warning. If the
British premier had shown weakness Rus
sia would have persisted, but in any case
Russia. by its protest, elected ministerial
statement in the House of Commons that the
conditions of the loan did not constitute
foreign control. Thus Russia obtained a
pledge that no such Interpretation would be
placed on the contract in the event OF de-
fault, which is "a further substantial conces-
, sion to the Russian claims in northern
China on the other hand Lord Salisbury
scored in securing a withdrawal of the
Russian protest. But Russia also gained
point with which it has good reason to feel
satisfied.
