hut Reported All She Heard.
New Orleans Times Democrat: The
true story of the operations of the
! secret service before and during the
campaign would startle the conserv-
atiyes. 1t was the Il department in
/ which it wasn't necessary to consult
public opinion, and all sorts of queer
schemes were resorted to to get ne
cessary information. call to mind
a little incident which will Illustrate
the point. Shortly after the begin
ming of hostilities a certain foreign
eonsul was suspected OF furnishing in
side information to the enemy. A
few days later he employed a very
pretty and demure young lady as his
private stenSgrapher. She assured
him that she spoke no French, and
was present daring several cenversa-
tions that were held in that language
with mysterious callers. In n week or
so the demure young lady made u de-
tailed report to the secret service, in
| Guiding the salient points of the con-
ferences mentioned and numerous let
tiers stolen bodily from the %consul's
files. He had not yet fully commit
ted himself, but he was plainly On the
road. A few words from his minister
brought him suddenly to his senses.
THAT was only one of dozens of deli
cate affairs that were successfully
handled under the rose, but might
easily have developed into interna-
tional complications if they had been
given to the public. During that crit
zeal period a great many people in
private life gave confidential aid to
the department. One of its most
trusted agents was a business man Of
this city, WHO would certainly be
about the last person to be suspected
In such connection. He was delegated
to keep an eye on an energetic iunta
projected by several Spanish sympa-
thizers. The junta died a-borning.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 15.-In the alb

crcdcnce is given here to the report
that Alexander Mcdonald, the klon-
dixie mining king, is an %insolvent.
So far rs "a be asccrtained the
story of McDonald's failure is based on
the mere statement of Thomas xii
kinney, a returning Klondiker, to the
fact that just before he left Dawson
n friend Of his had told him that Me,
Donald had filed a notice Of insolvency
at the court house.
A number of reputable Klondikers
who left Dawson subsequently to the
date on WHICH Mcdonald is reported to
have filed his notice of insolvency say
they heard nothing of it and believe
