STORY OF A LONDON MYSTERY
Finding of the Corpse of Woman Who
Had Been Missing for Two
Months.

London, Oct. 2C.-The disappear
Rnce of woman doctor, Miss Hick-
man, which has been a sensation here
for the last two months, has been part
ly cleared up by the finding OF her
body in an unfrequerfed part of Rich
mond park. The remains were horri-
bly, decomposed, the head having been
entirely separated from the body, ap-
parently by the gnawing of rats.
Miss Hickman, who was a fully
qualified doctor of medicine, was per-
forming her duties at the Royal Free
Hospital on the afternoon Of Aug. 10,
when she left the hospital. Since that
time the police of the whole country
have unvailingly searched for her. She
was healthy woman, % years of age,
and took nothing with her except a
few pounds sterling in cash. The
reason for Miss Hickman's disappear
ance is a complete mystery.

She Wants to Ask Questions and Gets the
Grand Bounce.
New York. Oct. 21-Dr. Dowie, ar
rayed in evening clothes, talked for
two hours before a great throng in
Madison Square Garden, the burden Of
his talk being denunciation Of the cler-
gy and the prees. When he began the
huge garden was crowded and the po-
lice say six thousand persons who
could not gain entrance were turned
away. In half an hour, however, the
the police refused to admit any late
ccmars. saying they feared a riot.
1t was with some difficulty that any
semblance Of order was kept. The
speaker was repeatedly interrupted
with Kisses and shouts Of disapproval.
Carrie Nation, who occupied seat
near the front, asked Elijah" to an
swer some questions. He refused and
ordered her to sit down. Dowie then
praised the spirit in which Mrs. Nation
had warred on the saloon, but said she
used wrong methods.
Mrs. Nation again demanded the
privilege Of asking questions. At once
the Zion guards surrounded her and,
with the help of several policemen,
elected her. At this several hundred
persons at the back of the garden
made a rush to get out. The entrance
was blocked in q moment and Dowie,
shouting that the way had been
blocked by the crowd outside, brought
there for the purpose Of creating a dis
turbance, ordered the Zionists to keep
their places. He then requested the
audience to be seated. and after hav-
ing the side exits opened he directed
the audience to rise In sections and go
out at the sides. The meeting was one
Of continuous disorder. DoWie an

COMMENTS ON THE DECISION.
London Papers Foot Up Britain's Gain
Canadians Are Not Amiable.

London faperS EOOt Up Hr1tdfns Oains
Canadians Are Not Amiable.
London, Oct 21.-"From British
viewpoint the best that can be said
cf the settlement OF the Alaskan bouD~
dary dispute is that 1t is over In
foregoing words the Graphic strikes
the keynote OF London press comment
on the decision of the Alaskan boun-
dary tribunal. This decision is gener-
ally denominated The surrender of
l ritish rights on the altar of American
friendship While there is no sugges-
ton of personal criticism of either
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone or the
United States commissioners the ten
dency Is to regard the Canadian COM
missioners as the heroes of the hour
for their refusal to sign the document
surrendering what they considered TO
I've the rights Of the Dominion.
The question of the effect of the
decision and the attitude of Canada
towards the mother country is seri-
ously raised. and In some quarters it
is predicted that the findings will strike
a severe blow at the arbitration Of any
future case where there may be a
conflict of colonial and United States
interests. No doubt Is any where ex-
pressed but that Canada will abide
Loyalty by the decision.
The Canadian view is not so amia-
BILE as that at London The general
determina ton is expressed in Canada
to build a railway TO the Yukon. The
cable quotes literally from the COM
ment over there The Toronto Wit
ness QiberaD says: Ever since the
Alaskan boundary difference came to
the fore our conviction has been that
Canada would substantially lose her
case. When the United States con-
sented to submission OF the question
to a joint high commission it was
with the certainty that she could not
lose. and an assurance universally ex-
pressed that she would gain.
@It was as certain as any human
question could be that no commission
ers appointed by the United States
would 90 back to their country having
voted to sacrifice Skagway and Dyea,
To make assurance doubly sure the
president sacrificed his dignity by Sc
lecting commissioners who had already
publicly ansi GcteTnSnately committed
themselves"

Trust company was the first to an
nounce its suspensioR- This was fol-

company. Allan McLane, third vice

gave bond in the sum of $2,000,OO0,

$1,oOO.0OO. The total liabilities of the
two companies exceed $10,0O0,000.
