He did not think he had ever heard the
address mentioned, he said. Perhaps the
man who drove the party would remem-
ber. The man was in; he would send
him. The driver came outsand we put
the question to him. He scratched his
head. he expectorated with great free
dom, then he made a gesture which
clearly conveyed to Us that it was "no
CO." His memory failed him.
"Would 8 ruble note help you to
remember ?" l asked The fellow said
that for this sum he would, at any rate,
invoke numerous hearty blessings upon
our heads
Here the postmaster made sugges-
tion which distinctly advanced the mat

he were to drive your merciful highness

"Hire them, hire them. little father,

Grishka here shall drive us to the very

to- It's splendidl"
"It does seem rather rosyr said
Percy.
Within five minutes the horses were
harnessed and ready. We jumped into
the trap and drove rapidly toward st.

lights danced before MS, and we knew
that in a quarter of an hour the secret
of dear old dads whereabouts, or at all
events strong clew. would be in our
hands.

been the burden of our conversation
during the exciting drive. We had done
this thing well and were in full swing
for success-the reward of patience and
good management.
Now we were driving through the
streets. Over the Tuchkof bridge we
dashed. and through Vassili Ostrof and
across the Nicholas bridge; then to the
left by the English quay to the Winter
palace and straight on to the Palace

ters of the town. "Grishka, you foolp

"There's no mistake, highness, said
Grishka over his shoulder "This was

"Good heavens, Borisl' said Percy.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
L. S. HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER
HOMESTEADS IN BANKRUPT
CY CASES
By Telegraph to virginian-Pno;.)

Savannah. Ga, May 4.-Judgc Spcer,
of the Federal District Court for the
Southern District of Georgia, has made
an important decision under the new
national bankruptcy law. 1t is to the
effect that the United States Court has
no jurisdiction over n homestead taken
by a bankrupt: that the homestcads
belong to the State courts and cannot
be considered in the United States
Court as an asset OF the bankrupt; and
as regards the homestead the trustee OF
the bankrupt must look elsewhere than
to the United States Court. The effect
of this decision will be far reaching.
and will no doubt be the cause of many
parties going into bankruptcy who have
here ofore held out.
In the case in which Judge Speer has
just rendered this decision the bank
rupt had waived his homestead by Civ
ing waiver notes and the creditors of
the bankrupt instituted proceedings to
have the homestead administered by
the trustee as assets.
The Judge held that the trustee must
set aside the homestead regardless of
the waiver and that The courts We're
the proper place to attack the waiver.
When the bankrupt receives his dis
charge from the United States Court
all his debts ere wiped out and there
Is some doubt as to whether the cred
itors can then proceed in the State
courts to have their claim and waiver
sustained and their debts satisfied out

Following Constants course in the

confidential reports from Projects
throughout France regarding the con-
dition of public opinion on the Drcyfus
evidence and the possible course of
the Court OF Cessation and the Govern
ment. The weight of the reports is
that extreme partisars on both sides
remain unmoVed, but that the latest
portions of the evidence have much i'm
pressed the large and influential BODY
OF opinion which previously inclined to-
ward the stan, and expected il would
prove It's case against Dreyfus. Men of
this thinking have from the first been
open minded and honest. AS Lieuten-

them TO reopen the Drcyfus case, so

trial before another courtmartiaI. The
