CROSS.EYED TOMCATS NOR RARE.
A Fact Brought Out by Advertising for q
Feline OF That Description.
From ne ChicdO0 Daily Ners,

Mary Ann O'Brien OF Bunker street is the
owner Of a cross-eyed cat named Tom" She
thought there was no other feline OF the kind in
Chicago and felt proud of her pet, A few days
ago the animal disappeared and all Bunker
street vas in mourning. a}"Tom" was a ~favorite.
Mrs. O'Brien waited and waited. but the cat
failed to come back. Then she offered a reward.
The next day the street was crowded with
children of the ghetto carrying cats and kittens
Of all sizes. breeds and colors. SO many cross
eyed cats had never before been seen in one COL
lection. Mrs. O'Brien was delighted when she
discovered one which she thought was her pet.
and she gladly rewarded the freckle-taced boy
who handed him over with several pennies.
Then came Benjamin Finklestein OF Ewing
street. Finklestein had also been the owner
Of a cat suffering from astigmatism and he
Il said to have averred he could see six
OBrien's cat, his soft-coated friend and pct
had mvsteriolslv departed. He asserted that
there was but one really good-lookinR cross
eyed cat and that was the one he owned
named Jake"
Finklastein tried to convince Mrs. OBrien
that she had secured possession Of Jake"
instead Of Tom, and then the trouble began
which ended In the two preferrinR counter
charges before Justice Dooley. The disputed
cat was In court. but didn't seem to care who
secured ownership. Several other persons in
the neiehborhood were in court to claim the
sam cat and the matter became 40 complicated
his Honor threw the case out and advised the
warning ones 10 fight 1t out in a civil tribunal. .

BOER DELEGATES PLEASED.
Back From Philadelphia May or May Not Go
to Kansas City.

Messrs. Fischer and Vessels, two OF the
Boer ENJOYS who zane to this country In the
interests OF their fight against Great Britain,
returned yesterday afternoon with their Sec
tetary. Mr.. Debruyn. from Philadelphia, where
they and the other Boer delegate, Mr.. Wolmer-
rms, have been witnessing the scenes Of the
Republican Convention. Mr.. Vessels and Mr..
Fischer went TO Newark to attend a public
meeting and reception there.
Secretary Debruyn said last night that the
delegates were greatly pleased with the treat
nent they got at Philadelphia. A number OF
prominent politicians attending the convention
had visited them az their headquarters, asked n
lot of questions about the war which the
BoerS are carrying on with Great Britain and u
he Boer cause. He also said that the delegates
were very well satisfied with the plank in the
Republican platform relating to the south
African war, and were more than pleased with
the enthusiasm with which the delegates to the
convention greeted the sentiment expressed in
The plank.
Mr. Debruyn said the Boer delegates might
attend the Democratic Convention at Kansas
Iiiy, but that their going depended on a good
many things. They were awaiting he said,
communication from their home government
on this and other points and they might cut
their STAY here short. The ENJOYS will remain
days ut least and will attend several dinners
and reCeutions. A meeting at Cooper Union for
next Tuesday night has been arranged BY
the Citlzen, Committee which met and enter

COUNT MURAvIEFR DEAD.
Russian Minister Of Foreign Affairs Expires
Suddenly In st. Petersburg.
Special Caols Despa,ehss to THR SUN.

Special Cable Dispatches TO THR SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG. juno 2l.-Count MuraviefY.
the Privy Councillor and Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, died suddenly this morning. Between
Q and 10 o'clock Count Muravien took his usual
morning cup OF coffee. He had Just ordered
dinner when he was struck dow with an attack
Of cerebral hemorrhass and died In a few
minutes
PARIS, June AIN. Delcasse. the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, was deeply grieved when he
heard Of the death OF Count Muravien. There
was a close personal friendship between the
two statesmen. but the death Of the Russian
Privy Councillor will have no adverse public
effect. Count Muravieff. who was OF a soft,
yielding nature. constantly advised France Of
| the wisdom Of avoiding a conflict. The NATIONAL
lists accuse NJ. Delcasse OF invariably displaying
| weakness In emergencies and OF falling to
maintain French prestige. The truth Is that
| French inactivity has been due sometimes to
the advice OF Count MuravteE.
1t is thought here that Count Kapnist. the
| Russian Ambassador at Vienna, may replace
| Count Muravief. This would give satisfaction
here. as ne is thoroughly acquainted with
France.
Count MuraviefY came OF a family that has
PLAYED a prominent part In Russian history:
lie was born In is4s. and after being graduated
from a Russian college went toHeidelberg ne
entered the diplomatic service early In lie and
served as Sc rotary of legation at various
places. In 1854 he was appointed Councillor Of
Embassy at Berlin, and in 1893 he was, made
Minister TO Denmark. In January 1897. he was
appointed Minister Of Foreign Affairs In sue
oession to Prince Lobanoff.

Wood denied the request.
AZ a meeting OF the National party II was
suggested that all the employees Q Of the munich

1t was argued that as the people Of Havana had
by an overwhelming majority Endorsed the

The proposition was received with great
applause. II was decided. however. to leave
the matter to the Municipal Council. as the
reception Of the m otion left no doubt as to the
manner in which the Council would deal with IL.
The proposition has already caused a protest
from the Republican party. The Republicans
point to 1t as proof Of what they have always
alleged. that the patriotism Of the Nationals Is
simply another name for greed Of ofios.
