AN UNsOLVED MYSTERY.
Tracing a Man Who Disappeared at
Bull Run

81 have just returned from a visit to the
battlefields Of Cedar mountain and the
second Manassas after an absence Of forty
years." said Daniel L. Reynolds Of Canaan
daigua, N. Y, last night at the National.
1T was while the last-named battle was
in progress that something happened to a
member of my company, and with whom 1
had been raised, that has always been to
me an unsolved mystery. His name was
William Brown and his age at the date
speak of was twenty-four years. He had
always pinned for life of adventure, and
when Pope called for volunteer scouts he
offered his services and was accepted. This
was just prior to the Cedar mountain af-
fair. Prior to the second Manassas Brown
had frequently disappeared for several days.
but in due time returned all right, and at
nighttime about the campfire would fire our
imaginations and excite our envy over his
marvellous hairbreadth escapes from cap
ture and death. He was missing for good
after the second days fight at Bull Run
and the rest has always been conjecture as
to his fate The story told by a captured
red-handed and was hanged as a spy
Its appears, according to the narrative
related by the soldier mentioned, that dur
ing the battle of the first day man re-
sembling Brown. dressed in confederate
gray. rode up to the commander of a diyi-
sion with written orders from Jackson to
move his troops to a certain portion of the
field where they could not possibly he of
use and suddenly disappeared. The next
forenoon Longstreet appeared on the scene
and the same young man in gray again
rode up to division commander and at
tempted to duplicate the trick. when he
was recognized by an officer present, hand
ed over to drumhead court-martial and
hanged on the spot The most disquieting
thing about the whole matter is that
rumors have reached our post from time
to time that Brown was not the MARTYR
we pictured him, but a deserter to the
enemy. 1 am going to call on Longstreet
tomorrow and ask him If he can solve the
mysterious disappearance of William

skull entered exactly through the center Of
his forehead.
II was detailed in each case to solve the
mystery and bring the murderers to 1us-
tce. Three murders within one week were
enough to rouse the inhabitants of the
county and the authorities to the highest
pitch. A singular feature Of the crimes
committed was the fact that all three men
were killed by revolver of 33 caliber, and
each man was shot in the center of the
forehead. In searching for the murderer
of the drug clerk we found one clue
to work upon. He had been paying, we dis
covered, secret attentions to young Wo-
man with whom a prominent business man
was alleged to be in love. His standing
was such that we were compelled to go
slow in our Investigations, and we never
did get enough evidence against him to
warrant his arrest. nor to this day have
we been able to come to q satisfa Glory con-
cluslon as to who killed that young man.
In the case of the police officer we had a.
little clearer sailing. We were morally GER
tain that some thief ended his life, and al
though We arrested and 'sweated nearly
every crook in town we were never able to
go beyond that point.
I'm the case of the Frenchman we at
first thought we had clear sailing. He
was thresher and had moved his machine
on a certain Sunday night to the home
OF a farmer in the neighborhood also a
brenchman. and was to begin work the
next morning. When called, according to

AMERICAN DUTY ON COSSAcK
SUGAR. MEETS DRAWBACK.
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE
Question as to Whether RetaIiative
Step of Russia Has Affected Pro-
tective Tariff-CIaim Made That
Trade Between Two Countries Has
Been Practically Destroyed.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-The question
whether the drawback paid by Russia
on sugar exported from that country
is bounty under the meaning of the
Dingley tariff law is in fair way to
be decided at an early day by the SUI
preme court of the United States The
point is raised in case which has
been brought into that court by Robert
F. Downs and upon which argument
was begun yesterday. The case grows
out of the action of the treasury de-
partment in imposing a countervailing
duty upon Russian sugar to meet the
drawback and the retaliatory step on
the part of Russia by which that Cool
try imposed the maximum duty upon
American goods. Downs challenges
the correctness of the position of the
United States and took the case into
the courts. So far the treasury posi-
ton has been sustained and there is
no little interest in the outcome of
the case as a result of the present
hearing. In the papers filed in the
case the assertion is ade that the &C
ton of Russia has resulted in destroy
ing the greater part of the trade of
the United States with that country
and Ernest A. Bigelow. attorney for
Downs, contends that the American
protective tariff is directly concerned
in the settlement of the case.

Roosevelt on Army and Presidency

Boston, Oct. 30.-In an article to be

next week, Theodore Roosevelt gives
his ideas of the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of the president of the United
States. Roosevelt wrote the article
in 1900 while he was governor OF New
York and previous to the republican
national convention which nominated
him for vice president. Roosevelt
compares the Importance OF the pres1-
dents position as to other rulers ana
discusses the personality of the occu-
pant of that position. He also cons1d-
ers the relations of the president ana
senate and cabinet. He urges that
proper respect he given the president
and says:
eve have had presidents who have
acted weakly or unwisely in particular
crises, but we have never had one con-
corning whose personal integrity there
was so much as a shadow Of suspicion.

MONEY TO
INDIANS

Oshkosh, Wis, Oct. 30.-Congress-
man Davidson has been notified that
the secretary of the interior has re-
Versed his former decision and has an
nounced that the Brothertown and
Stockbridge Indians as part of the
six nations are entitled to their share
of the judgment rendered by the SUI
preme court of the United States, the
total amount which is about $4,000 900.
The money comes to them as result
of the treaty of 1888 when they were
granted 1,324,000 acres of land in Kan
sas, 800 acres to each Indian in the
tribes. For over so years the matter
has been in litigation. There are
about 300 or 400 Indians in the tribe
who are entCled to share in the judg-
ment. Most of them live in Calumet
county, although some are on the
Brothertown reservation and some in
Minnesota.

LOST MONUMENTS
ARE DISCOVERED

Seattle, Wash, Oct 29.-Advices
received from Juneau on the steamer
Dolphin are that the missing Russian
boundary monuments which have been
so theoretically searched for by Lieu
tenant Emmons the past two seasons,
have been discovered by James H. De
Blondeau, a prospector of the Porcu-
pine district and the modus vivendi strip
for several years. Through his friend
ship with the Chilkat Indians, he
gained information which gave him a
cleW to the position OF the first monu-
ment. From this start he followed
along and discovered several more old
landmarks put up by the czar's follow
ers.. The line marked by these monu-
ments is about five miles inland from
Pleasant camp, which is seventeen
miles from Klukwon. The latter is
five miles from tidewater on the Chill
kat river. This makes the Russian
survey line approximately ~ miles
inland to the summit-less than ten
marine leagues and just where it was
expected to be from the language used
in the Anglo-Russian treaty Of 1926.

ORIENTAL SUBJECTS.
Cornell Professor Who Investigated
Conditions of Possessions of Euro
pean Countries Tells of Result of
Work-Recommends Fixed Rate of
Exchange and Chinese Labor.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The report of
Prof. jerks of Cornell university on
his observations in the English ald
Hollandez possessions in the orient
was made public yesterday by the war
department. DR.. jerks visited those
dependencies at the instance of the
bureau of insular affairs for the pur
pose of making study of the methods
of the administration with view to
recommendations for our own govern
ment of the Philippines. The report
is a book in volume and deals with
currency, labor, taxation and police
regulations. DR.. jerks finds that not
withstanding that considerable prog
ress has been made in the dependen-
cies during the recent decades, in no
country has much been done looking
to the establishment of self-govern-
ment. Nowhere in the dependencies
of England, Holland and France in the
orient has there been granted, he says,
so great a measure of self govrnmenu
as the United States already has given
the Filipinos. He recommends fixed
rate of exchange with gold between the
