Relatives of a Dead Montana Miner
Claim His Fortune.

New York, Dec. 2.-Through the ef-
forts of Monsignor Doane and others
the heirs of Patrick Manning, who died
few days ago at Kalispel, Mont,
leaving a fortune he had acquired in
mining have been found in Newark. N.
J. One is Miss Theresa " Manning,
sister, and the others are Ave nieoes and
nephews.
Patrick Manning was a former resi-
dent of Newark He went to the west
to seek his fortune and after long years
of hard work became wealthy. When
he died he left no information as to who
his relatives were where they lived.
Knowing he came from Newark friends
write to the Catholic clergy and an in
vestigation was set on foot.
Miss Manning says her brother wrote
to her recently that he had become
wealthy and that in very short time
he was coming here to spend his re-
naming days with her. The news of
his death shocked her greatly as she
had been awaiting his arrival with
eagerness. She says she will take steps
at once to claim the property for her
self and the other heirs.

COVER FOR THE SHAMROCK
House Being Built Over the Upton
Boat.

New York, Dec. 2.-Work will be be-
gun today on the building of a house
over Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht sham
rock II, where she lies hauled up high
and dry in the Erie basin. The hauling
up of Shamrock II was accomplished
successfully on Saturday. However, it
was discovered that the hull had settled
perceptibly on the starboard side near
the stays. It is believed that the dam
age probably was sustained in the Sc
we're squall which struck the boat one
afternoon in the Horseshoe a week or
so before the races. The belief now is
generally entertained among those who
have examined Shamrock II that had
an attempt been made to take her home
this fall she never would have crossed
the Atlantic without laundering Many
of the braces running from the biiges
to the deck are found to be badly bent
and the bronze plates also are corroded
to such an extent as to seriously i'm
pair the seaworthiness Of the boat

FRIENDS OF DREYFUs.
They Fall Out Over the Management
of His interests.

New York. Dec. 2.-The Paris cores
pondent of the London Times and New
York Times says NJ. Reinach's with
drawal of the brief from Maitre Labori
in the action brought against NJ. Rein
ach by Nine Henri is explained in a
not published by the Matin.
This note, which says the correspond
ent, evidently comes from Maitre La
bori, declares that the withdrawal of
the brief was due entirely to Maitre
Labori's action in connection with M
Cornely, who used to write political ar
ticles in the Grande Revue, edited by
I-abori. The latter now intends to
write these articles himself.
1t is stated that the relations between
Maitre Labori. Col. Picquart, and the
Dreyfus family ceased a year ago. M.
Reinach confirms the statements in the
note. The Times correspondent adds
that it is we'll known that MN. Labori
and Reinach disagree on the question
of the pardon of Dreyfus, Labori being
of opinion that the acceptance of the
pardon destroyed the principle for
which they fought. and Reinach think
ing. on the contrary. that the affair is
still intact.

ful when operated with white labor, ana
it's failure now can hardly be regarded as
a fair test OF what can be done with col
