White, to whose strenuous work the prose-
cution Of j. Whitaker Wright is due, said
to the World correspondent today:
Il have no axe to grind in compelling the
prosecution Of Wright | have no personal
animosity against Wright, but there are
apparently immensely powerful influences
at work to prevent investigation of the
London & Globe affairs. and in the public
interest / interviewed"
''The immensely powerful influences
referred to by Arnold White are at last
known. Some OF the most powerful names
in the kingdom are on Wright's list OF
shareholders.
Independent investigation by the World
correspondent revealed the names, which
hitherto have been closely guarded. The
investigation confirms the rumor, long cur
rent, but unauthenticated until now, that
the duke Of Connaught, a brother Of King
Edward, was financially interested in
Wright's speculations. 1t has been fre-
quently charged that It was owing to the
duke Of Connaught's former interest IN
Wright's companies that Wright was sc
long protected from public prosecution.
The duke Of Connaught bought 1,25(
shares in November, 1899, at the time the
London & Globe company was at the food.
tide Of it's prosperity. These shares he held
for six months and then sold.
No less a name than that of the Rt. Hon
| Arthur Balfour, now premier of England
was carried on Wright's list of sharehold
ers. Mr.. Balfour, then first lord Of thu
| treasury and leader of the House of Com
mons, held 1000 shares of the London
| Globe stock. Hon. Ailwayne Fellowes

DISCOVER A DANTE PORTRAIT
Italian Expert Thinks He Has Found
One in FrescOes in Flor

FLORENCE, Italy, March 21-(New York
World ablegram-Speclal Telegram.)-A
writer on Italian art, Mr.. Chlapelli, has
just discovered here in the frescoes in the
Church Of Santa Maria Novella a figure that
appears to him incOntestably to be that OF
Dante. This portrait differs from the ira
ditional description of the poet. except for
the cap.
The freseoes are by the oreagna brothers,
Andrea and Bernardo. AS Andrea was born
after Dante died 1t is supposed that the hg-
ure must have been painted by Bernardo.
Several so-oalled portraits of Dante exist,
such as De La croix's, Shelters, etc. but
they are rather hgments OF the poet, paint
ers' imagination, than likenesses. The only
portrait at all true to life hitherto known
is the one by Giotti.

BR0ATCH UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS
He Closes Up n Dozen Metz Saloons
just to Carry Out Threats of John
westberE TO Get Even.

William ]. Broatch is up to his old tricks
Of hammering the brewers and saloonkeep-
ers to get them in line for his political
schemes. In pursuance of an order signed
by Broatch as acting chairman of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners,
notice was served last night on a dozen
saloonkeepers that they would have to close
at - o'clock and stay closed until Monday
morning. The saloons in question are as
follows:
Dampke, 512 South Sixteenth.
Lotfman, Fourteenth and Harney.
Back, Sixth and Pierce.
Jacobson, Twenty-fourth and Cunning.
Knutson, Twenty-fourth and Caldwell
Stafford, Thirteenth and Douglas.

DR.. Samuel McCune Lindsey OF Philadel-

cation as it's president, the attorney gen.
eral, the secretary and treasurer. ex-ofhcio
and four other members to be appointed by
the governor.
The departments provided for are a nor

a per cent Of all fines imposed by the dis
trict courts, royalties from all franchises

A university here would do more to ex-

should have secured her own theater
she would in due course give at least
two Shakespearean plays Macbeth

when Mrs. Fiske through the enterprise
of her husband, Harrison Grey Fiske,
came into possession Of the Manhattan

DIPLOMATIC HUMBUG.
There Are No Secrets Of State Nova
days.

Lord Newton, who for some years held
the post of attache in the Diplomatic
service, principally as secretary at the
embassy in Paris. shocked the old-fash-
Toned members of the house of lords
with 1cOnOclastic views on official Sc
crets. There are. in fact" he said, mo
such things as official secrets. They do
not exist. The dispatch boxes which
follow the foreign Representative wher-
ever he goes, and are guarded as if they
contained earth-shaking mysteries, rare
" contain anything which the world
does not know The boxes. which are
carried by kings messengers to the ut
IermoSt parts OF the world, contain very
little that is really secret. and most of
the facts may be expected to appear in
the press the next day"
These revelations" were made while
inviting the secretary for foreign affairs
to make statement with reference to
Sir Horace Rumbold's recent article in
the National Review, and to explain
that there was no imDutatiOn on the
character of the ex-ambassadOr at Vi
emma Lord Lansdowne justified the an
swer given by the under secretary in
the house of commons on November 10.
in which the publication was described
as indiscreet and reprehensible. The
book of "reminiscences written by Sir
Horace RumbOlG might be described as
innocuOus, but The Review article con-
tanned an account of a conversation
with the Emperor of Austria and COM
munications with the Austro- Hungarian
government on a subject of Importance
and deicacy affecting the name of
Queen Victoria.
Sir Horace's dispatches on these sub
Jects were marked confidential" and
the foreign office itself would not have
been justified in publishing them with
out the consent of the Austro-H ungar-
ian government. If that was necessary
for the foreign Office it should also have
applied to Sir H Rumbold, who ought
to have asked the consent of the for
eign office. The foreign Office is about
to issue q new regulation, which will
make it clear that members of the dip
lomatic service must not publish obseF-

SAGACITY OF A DOG.
Setter Found His Way Two Hundred
Miles to His Home.

Benjamin Pepper, messenger of the
police court. received word from West
Springfield. Mass. that a setter dog.
wearing a collar bearing his name, had
been stopped there because of it's almost
exhausted condition and was being held
awaiting further orders. Back of this
lies a. story Of q dogs remarkable sa-
gacitT.
The dog in question was taken in by
Mr.. Peppers wife at the time of the big
blizzard in 1888, when it came near per-
tshing in the storm, and after that time
refused to leave the house. It's owner
finally gave II to Mr.. Pepper, and he in
turn gave it to a man who lives in the
same house with him, but the dog has
ever since practically been member
Of the Pepper household.
Last summer its owner sent it to
friends in New Hampshire, living at a
point 200 miles distant from Hartford,
because he felt that he could not keep
1t well in the city. Recently he received
word from his New HAMPSHIRE friends
that the dog dislilled the constant
handling he had received from the chill
dren in the family there and had de-
canned. One day he made a bee line,
for the railroad station with grim de-
termination evident in every action and,
taking to the railroad track headed in
the direction Of home, despite all efforts
to call him back.
That was the last that was heard of
him until word arrived that he had
reached West Springfield How he ever
found his way all that distance with
the many branches he encountered on
the railroad he started to follow is d
mystery. But he managed it. as is evil.
dent from his arrival and he will now
be brought to Hartford and will. in al,
probability pass the remainder of his
days here, as he deserves to.-Hartford
Post.
