Cannot BE Found.
Asheville, N. c., Nov. 16.-Daniel C.
Champlain, former Mayor of Biltmore
and cashier of the Biltmore estate, and
George r. Tennent, heretofore a time
keeper on the estate, We're indicted
to-day by the grand jury of the SUI
perior Court for embezzlement of Of
fee funds from George w. Vanderbilt.
Both men have left the state, and
their whereabouts is unknown. The
finding of the jury is the result of in
VeStigationS which have been conduct
ed for the past two months. When
the rumors of peculation of the estate
moneys were first stated, a general de-
NAL was made at the offices. The sud-
den return of Mr.. Vanderbilt from Eu-
rope and the employment of expert ac-
countants to examine the books re-
suited in open charges being made
against the two accused men, who We're
dismissed from Mr.. Vanderbilts en-
ploy for violating the regulations Of
the office"
The master of Biltmore made no eff
fort to prosecute the offenders, but at
the special term of the Criminal Court
last month Fred Hull expert account
ant, and E. ]. Harding were summoned
before the grand jury to tell what they
knew about the alleged Irregularities
From the information thus received
presentments were returned by the
grand jury and this afternoon a true
bill was found against the men. 1t
is alleged that the amount appropriate
ell by the accused reaches almost SILL
900, which sum was secured by pad
ding" the pay rolls.
Both Champlain and Tennent belong

ON IRISH LAND DEALS.
Timothy HeaIy Made nm Address
and Gave Advice.

Dundalk, Ireland, Nov. 16.-Timothy
M. Healy, speaking here to-day, urged
the landlords to make the best posi-
BILE bargains with their Irish tenants
within the next two or three years and
not to be too exorbitant in their terms.
Otherwise, said Mr.. Healy, the Lon
don financiers, who had to find money
for the carrying out of the land pur-
chase act, might not be so keen. Apart
from this there was likelihood of the
Liberals, who opposed the land pur-
chase act in Parliament, coming into
office.
Mr.. HeaIy dwelt at considerable
length and in great detail on the sale
of the Wexford estates of John Red
mond, the Irish parliamentary leader,
contending that Mr.. Redmond was get
ting far too much for his land, and
advising him to discontinue the sale
on the present terms. If Mr.. Redmond
did not take this advice, Mr.. Healy
believed that the story Of the sale Of
his land would re-echO through Ire
land and stink in the nostrils of Irish
tenant farmers"

providing for the taxation of sleeping

state. The court upheld the validity
of the law of 1889 taxing companies for
the passengers carried solely within

ing the cars operated within the state,
was held to be a burden in interstate
commerce and therefore unconstitu-

CUTS OFF SUFFRAGE
HARDwICK OF THE TENTH INTRO
DUCED A MEASURE
THAT HE HAD PROMISED
HIS CONSTITUENTS HE WOULD
HACK TO THE END.

Young Members Bill Provides for
the Repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment--It Is on the Speakers
Desk and Is Yet TO BE Referred
to "A COmmittee-NO Chance of Its
EnrIy Consideration by the House.
HnrdNick's Campaign Pledge.
By r. M. Larner.
Washington, Nov. 6.-Representa-
tive Hardwick to-day introduced his
BILL providing for the repeal of the
Fifteenth amendment of the constitu-
ton. The introduction of this bill is
intended to formally induce Congress
to take up and consider the race ques-
ton.
There is no prospect of an early con-
sideration of the Hardwick bill. for it
will hardly be reached during the extra
session. 1t has not been referred to a
committee, but legislatively it lies upon
the Speakers table to be referred to an
appropriate committee, when the
Speaker shall make his committee as
signments.
BY introducing his bill at this time
Mr.. Hardwick is but carrying out one
of the campaign pledges he made when
he defeated Judge Flemming for the
nomination. Mr. Hardwick has been
industriously circulating among his
Democratic associates since the present
session began, and he has already re-
ceived much encouragement at the
hands of some of the strongest men on
the minority side of the House to force
the fighting on his bill at the first OPP
portunity. He has not proceeded far
| enough with his canvass of the House
to venture upon a prediction, but he
has his heart in his work, and although
one of the baby" members of the
House, he is capable of dealing with
this great subject like veteran.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama introduced a similar resolution
| to-day.
