King. who has been a frequent visitor
to the founding asylum, is believed to be

melanchOlia, according TO the police. and

institution after ne had attempted to com
HIt suicide by taking carbolic ac.d
When he was arraigned King said he had
begged the authorities of the founding
asylum to give him information about his
birth. but that they had refused to do so
This angered him, he said. that he did
not know what he was doing.
King came TO this city in 1898 from Balti-
more and commenced a search for the iden-

Details of an important move by Russia.
winch nave evidently been suppressed
htherto by the censor have transpired in
London This move is no less than a pro-
posal by the imperial government for an

Baron de Staal. Russian ambassador in
London, about ten days ago presented to
the BRUSH government note from NJ de

Whlch note was sent also to all the powers

reference TO NJ. de Whites note, said the
proposal had the cars warm approval
He could not say whether the United States
had been invited to the conference but he
was sure a representative Of that govern

NJ Tatschef hesitated to predict what
would be the practical outcome of the con-
ference, but expressed the opinion that at
least 1t would be of advantage by clearing
the air and that If an understanding were
possible on the sugar question it would
pave the way for dealing with the matter
of other bounties. He contended that in
this matter Great Britain was equally at

by them, known as Old Fort Stanton in Ana
costa, D. c., be made to the best possible ad-
vantage, and the proceeds divided among the
parties entitled thereto. The bill, which is
filed through Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert
and d. w. Baker, sets forth that on or
about the 18th Of February, 1896 number
OF parties from this District obtained a
charter of Incorporation from the state of
West Virginia for the purpose of conduct
ing cemetery in this city, and purchased
the tract of land referred to, containing
about fourteen acres; that after the pur-
chase was made il was found that 1t would
be impossible to obtain the desired permit
from the municipal authorities of the Dis
tr1ct, and therefore, being unable to carry
out the full purpose and intent of the or
ganIzation, the corporation was not further
proceeded with and stock was not issued
but the land in question was held as a syn
dictate asset 1t is further averred that none
of the defendants have fully paid their pro-
port1onate share of the purchase money for
the property, and being therefore, It is al
legged in default, the court is asked to de-
termlne what, II any, interest they have in
the property. 1t is alleged that a number
or those parties originally interested have
cropped out, and that the shares of such
have been purchased by the survivors, in
some instances collectively, and in other in
stances individually. so that now there are
only seventeen parties interested In the
property; that owing to the character of the
land ana the dimensions Of same it is said
1t would be impossible to divide the prop
erty In kind between the different parties
interested, on account Of which, II is
claimed, 1t would be to the best interests of
all that the sale should be made under the
directions Of the court at proper price
ana the assets arising therefrom, properly
divided under decree of the court after an
accounting to be had before the auditor. 1t
Is said that the property involved in the
case comprises the highest elevation in
Anacostia, and embraces many advan-
tageous building sites, the Weyland Semi
nary, which formerly was located at the
mead OF 10Th street, having been anxious to
locate there before removing to Richmond
