Major Kingsbury made an eloquent

Waller was under military and not

arARrLlNe FIND OF POLICE.
Tea Merchant and Family Prove to 6s
Wholesale Rohhera


New York, April 12.-In the resi-.
denCe occupied by man known as
George T. Howard at Ridgewood, N.
j., the police have made a startling
discovery. For two years Howard, his
wife and a 10-year-old son have lived
at Ridgewood where the man was
highly respected. He was known as
tea and coffee merchant doing busi-
ness in New York.
Thefts soon began to occur in all the
country surrounding. Horses and car
riages were missed freight depots
were looted and farm houses and barns
were entered promiscuously Finally
two horses and carriages were stolen
from Murray, N. Y. One of the horses
wore a peculiarly shaped shoe by
which it was tracked for 20 miles,
the trail ending in Howard's barn,
where the property was found.
Search warrants were at once Is
sued, the house was entered and found
to be filled with AN sorts of plunder.
Only Mrs. Howard was at home. Mr.
Howard had disappeared, as had the.
boy, who fled to Jersey, where he was
found and arrested, but in the mean
time he had communicated with his fa-
ther and took his arrest with the
greatest degree of composure, even
smiling contemptuously at the police
when they tried to make him tell
where his father had gone. The explo-
ration of the house began. On the
back porch was found a nearly new
road wagon. In the hallway was a
new double sleigh. The house has IA
rooms and each room was full OF
goods. Three wagonloads of property
were taken to the village lookup in
Ridgewood, and as the available space
in the lookup was filled offceLs-%sTe

stuff, which ran from fancy embroidery
to new stoves.

London, April 12.-In consequences
Of the prominence given by the after.
noon newspapers to the report that a
cabinet crisis had occurred owing to
breach between Mr.. Chamberlain
and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach on the
method of raising war funds. Mr.
Chamberlain today issued a signed
statement saying that the report was
pure invention and absolutely untrue
Notwithstanding the sensational and
diverse rumors evoked by the unex.
pected summoning of the cabinet p.ss
lie interest, as displayed in sDownins
street, was of an exceedingly languid
type
All the ministers were present with
the exception of the lord lieutenant of
Ireland, Earl Cadogan, from which il
was inferred that the question Of the
immediate adoption of more strin.
gent policy toward the United Irish
league did not occupy the foremost
place at today's council
Among the many peace rumors this
morning the most interesting is to the
effect that the Beers have intimated
that they are willing to come into the
British empire as junior partners, to
give up their flag and become part of
an African confederation. with a flag
of its own, with a supreme court and
with practically an American consti.
