JOHN BROWN LETTERS.
Discovered Among Rubbish in
Virginia State Library.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 23.-The Rich
mond papers print what are known as
the recently discovered John Brown
papers," which were found in a lot Of
rubbish in the state library. 1t cannot
be said that they throw any additional
light on the john Brown raid into Vir-
gfnfa, which resulted in his arrest and
execution There is not a scratch of
John Browns pen among them. They
are Of two classes, letters to Brown and
his fellow-prisoners and letters from
the prisoners to persons throughout the
country. The prisoners, 1t is supposed,
never saw the letters sent to them, and
the letters written by them were never
mailed.
Those to Brown and his associates are
for the most part signed with initials
only, and no prominent persons can be
identified with them. They are largely
from correspondents in New England,
Ohio and Indiana. Two letters to Brown
from his sister Elizabeth are both poetic
and pathetic, and it is evident she had
no conception of the fate that was in
store for him. From marks on all, it is
shown that they were inspected by An
drew Hunter of the prosecution, or Gov
ernor Wise. What value there Is in the
letters to the prisoners, If any, lies in
throughout the north with John Browns
desperate venture. The letters from the
prisoners tell nothing
Search is now being made for a
carpetbag of Browns. said to be hid
den in the roof Of the capitol building
and to contain his diary and some of
his documents. Many, however, doubt
the existence of such a historical treas
ure trove."
Several letters in the upturned batch,
written from the north, express pleasure
that Brown had been captured. 1t is
not at all certain that some of the let
ters have not been published before In
not a few cases the letters to Brown
and his band are written in red ink

DISGUISED AS A NEGRO.
Iowa Officials Arrest a Pole Who is
Suspected of Crime.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec 21.--Sheriff A. J.
Henry of Sioux county has under arrest
a mysterious man who was found badly
frozen in a straw stack near Orange
City, where he had been living secretly
for nearly three weeks.
He seemed at first to be negro, but
in caring for him one of his rescuers
rubbed off a bit of the coloring. Imme-
diately suspicion was aroused and then
a liberal application of soft water and
soap removed a coating of stove polish
and revealed a skin that was as fair as
any white mans.
The man is a Polander, about 46 years
of age; he gave his name as Fred
Krischlick, but refused to say anything
about his former place of residence or
offer any explanation of his peculiar
conduct.

FEELING HER WAY.
Germany Would Like to Give Vene-
zuela q Drubbing.

New York. Dec. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin quotes the Vos-
Eische Zeitung as follows upon the uues-
ton of the Venezuelan claims:
The Vossische Zeitung says: THE
matter can certainly be arranged with
out coming into conflict with the uni
ted States. We have only to recall to
memory the words of the recent presi-
Dental message in which Mr.. Roose-
Welt used these expressions: We do not
guarantee any state against punish
nent if it misconducts itself, provided
that punishment does not take the
form OF acquisition of territory by any
non-American power
1T viii be remembered that two
weeks before that message the German
representative in Washington had de-
hvered a. very precise message from
Emperor William to the effect that
Germany had no intention of acquiring
land either in South America or In the
West Indies.
Therefore the relations between
Germany and America upon that point
are the clearest possible, and it can not
be difficult to assert the demands Of
Germany in Venezuela"

ELDER SONS SCARCE.
Not Enough to Go Around at the

New York, Dec. 2S.-The London cor
respondent of the Herald says that there
is a certain amount of curiosity to

elder son of the Duke of Grafton; Lord
Tavistock, son of the Duke of Bedford;
Lord Percy, son of the Duke of North
cumberland; Lord Dalkeith, son of the
Duke of Buccleuch. and Lord Hamilton
son of the Duke of Abercorn-
These are all of this rank at present
in England, Lord Douro and Lord Tul-
libardine being in South Africa with
their regiments. Lord CRANKY, son OF
the Duke of Rutland, is not eligible, as
he sits in the house of lords as Lord
