Some Interesting Spcechcs-LOrd
RONebery ON Wealth.


Special London Gable Letter. Copy
right, 1899, the Associated Press)
LONDON. May E.-The holidays have
brought stagnation In politics. Most OF
public attention has been directed to
the Hague peace conference and the
Anglo American Commission. The papers
warmly approve of the unison OF the
work of the American and British dele
gates at the conference, and interest In
it is quickened by the prominence uneN-
pectedly given to the arbitration ques-
ton, especially in view Of NJ. DeStaals
speech reversing the order OF the points
submitted from that of the circular OF
the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Count Muravieff giving arbitration the
first place and containing only minor
reference to disarmament, which was at
first blazoned as the main purpose OF the
conference.
The Cars scheme presented on Friday
Is very elaborate and detailed, while the
American project Is characterized by bus
iness-like brevity and simplicity. The
Daily News correspondent at the Hague
SAYS it appears to give a satisfactory
solution of the problem presented by the
Car. and that Great Britain, OF course
will support the American project.
INTERESTING SPEECHES.
Speeches were delivered this week by
Lord Rosebery, John Morley. and Slr
Michael Hicks-B Beach, Chancellor Of the
Excheauer. The first-named, after q

of the two parties should change about

servatives, thus enabling the pubic &c

policies had been taken out by Deve-
reaux within five or six weeks before the
accident. and insurance agents also calico
attention to the fact that the accident
had taken place on a boat, In which case
should Devereaux lose his root the
award would be $4,000. IL the accident
had taken place anywhere else except a
boat or a railroad train Devereaux would
have received only $1,000 for the loss OF
his foot.
1.-The insurance people asserted also
that witnesses who saw the shooting on
the ferry-boat gave different version of
the manner in which the gun had been
held from that told by Devereaux."
HISTORY OF THE AlAN.
Devereaux was arrested IN Richmond
Va. less than two years ago by Under
Sheriff RUNNER and brought to jail IN
this city, on the charge of forgeries, pre-
ferred by the Binghamton Trust Com
pany. The forgeries alleged were very
extensive, and, as Mr.. Devereaux was a
pretty well known Businessman, they
created something of sensation. a
year and a half ago Devereaux was IN
dicted by the grand jury, but the case
was put over the term, and has never
come to trial. Deyereaux was released
on bail and moved with his family to
New York, where he has since been act
ing in his former capacity as agent FOL
the Grand Rapids Company.
"District-Attorney Perkins has received
requests from representatives, OF the in
surance companies for copies of the In
dictments against Devereaux. The
agents intimated that there was some
thing strange about the case.
The forgeries alleged to have been COM
mitted by Devereaux aggregated between
$1,000 and $4,000. Most of them were
described as false orders on school boards
In this State and Pennsylvania, to which
Devereaux was supposed TO have sold
furniture"
Devereaux. when arrested in Richmond
impressed all who saw him with his In
nocence. He treated the matter lightly
and even fippantly, and said that NJ
would prove his innocence before his cas-
went to trial. He voluntarily went u
Bfnehamton with the officers who came
for him.
