He is either believ- cd to be a counterfeiter or the circu- lating agent for one, for when he was searched seventy-fve new silver dol lars. commercials of the silver dollar Of 1890 issue were found on his person.. Two rolls of $1 pieces making $25 to the roll were unbroken in the man s pockets. They were done up as neatly as the rolls made up in a savings bank The other 1925 were loose. All were counterfeite and the best limitations discovered in this city in some time. The coins were but a trif1e lighter than the genuine silver dollar. They lacked the proper ring but the lettering and figure were almost identical with the legitimate coin.

to Get Control of Property.

Richmond, Va., Sept. 20.-A Char lottesville special says: John Arm strong Chanler, the divorced huspand of Amelie Rives, now Princess Irou- botskoi. and who has been lost for nearly a year, many of his frlehus thinking he was dead, arrived III thls citv this morning on the 10:06 Southern train from Lynchburg. where he has been stopping at the Arlington hotel' for six weeks. He was met at the train and driven to the residence of hls friend and counsel Captain MicaJah Woods. After a brief consult ation MT
 Chanler and Captain Woods took the train for Louisa court house to attend the circuit court for appearance in civil proceeding, it is said in behalf or Mr. Chanler with reference to certain property in Louisa county in Whlcn ne is interested. His attorneys are stated to be Senator Daniel and his law part ner, Frederick Harfer, of Lynchburg; Micajah Woods, commonwealth at- torney for Albemarle county, Char
 lottesville; Armistead c. Gordon, city attorney, os Saunton, and Augustus Van Wyck O. New York. These, 1t is said. have with MT. Chanler's approval, given out the following statement:
 "On the 18th of March, 1897, Mr.
 Chanler, tLen a citizen of Albemarle county, Va, visiting in New York, was
 committed to Bloomingdale asylum at
 White Plains, N. T.. on an order Of judge of the supreme court of that state.
 "On Thanksgiving eve, 1900, after nu- merous fruitless efforts to secure legal counsel, having managed to borrow from a friend a few dollars, he escaped from the asylum and went to Philadei- phia. There under the guise of an att torney representing client, he supmlt-
 ted his case to a distinguished neurolo-
 gist, pr. J. Madison Taylor, and upon
 Dr. Taylor's expressions of willingness to assume charge of his alleged client,
 he disclosed his identity.
 "In order to afford Dr. Taylor ample time and opportunity for observation, MT. Chanler, of his own motion and without compuls1on, repaired 10 pIl- vate snnitarium in Philadelphia, under the charge of Dr. Taylor and remained there for six months.
 During this time a number of emil nent alienists. neurologists and phsy- cologists were called in consultation by
 Dr. Taylor and the records of the pro ceedings in Louisa county disclose the | unanimous opinion of all these experts as to MT. Chanlers sanity.
 Later, having placed himself in touch with his counsel by correspond ence, he came to Virginia and lived at Lynchburg up to September 20, when | he returned to his home county Of All bemarle, where he now Is and where proceedings will be instituted under the Virginia statutes to demonstrate be- | fore a court of competent Jurisdiction and In an affirmative manner his entire sanity"

RoosEYEL7,s FOREIGN POLICY.
Views of the London spectator-Netther
 for Nor Against England.

London, Sept. 2O.-Commenting upon the accession of MT. Roosevelt to the presidency, the Statist says he is an imperialist in an aggressive sense, and it expresses the opinion that he will maintain the present excellent financial status of the United States.
 The Spectator, which appears in black borders for MT. Mckinley, devotes much space to comment upon the sad event of his death and upon the access sion of MT. Roosevelt. With reference to the new president it says: He will be a thoroughly American president. As proof of his statesmanlike modera- ton, we note his retention in the cabi- net of MT. Hay, one of the ablest and most sincerely patriotic of living Amer ican statesman.
 President Roosevelt will not try to quarrel with England, but he will show her no special favors. The chief dan ger before him Is that, while insisting upon the policy of hands off" he may come into violent collision with Ger many, and that this collision may come while America is not prepared and Ger many is prepared. We may be sure Germany will only respect the Monroe doctrine so long as she feels too weak at sea to challenge it"
 Summing up President Roosevelt's foreign policy, the Spectator says: Tt will be neither for nor against Eng land, but merely for his own country. This should not at all bring about any diplomatic hitch between England and America. MT. Roosevelt's declarations regarding the Nicaragua canal in no way conflict with what is best for Eng land"
 After deprecating the idea of Germa- ny urging that the Clayton -BulWer treaty gives her any right of veto, as compared with the importance of hav- ing a canal made. and made by a friendly power, the Spectator concludes as follows: "The outburst of English national feeling for America in her sor- row gives our government unique op- portunity of going a step further by giv- ing America free hand on the isthmus and accepting the Monroe doctrine de- spite the protest of other European powers"

Walks Through Washington Streets
 Unaccompanied.

Washington, Sept, 2o.-About l:So o'clock shortly after the conclusion Of the cabinet meeting to-day, President Roosevelt left the white house to go to the residence of his sister, the wife of Commander Cowles of the navy for luncheon. Disdaining a carriage, he walked swiftly and alone. No one hao known when he would leave his office and as he passed briskly out of the grounds of the executive mansion he attracted little attention, scarcely any body recognizing him. He crossed Pennsylvania avenue into Lafayette Square and thence up Sixteenth street to his destination. In the course of an hour and half he returned to the white house, still alone and still walk ing.
