Two months ago, Mr.. Collins returned

Fred L. Collins, nephew OF Hon
Benjamin F. Allen, whom Mr.. Collins
has not seen for period of 20 years
dropped into the city yesterday entirely
unannounced. Mr.. Aliens surprise wa:
doubly agreeable because he was just
opening letter from Collins mother
saying that she wished she might learn
something of her wandering boy. Col
Inns was the first to read the mothers
epistle.
Mr.. Collins is rather good looking
chap-he is well featured, and his cheeks
wear q healthful tan, the result of a
sojourn in Australia and in New Ze'
land. His intercourse with the Colo.
nists has influenced him very material
ly. He has unconsciously adopted few
of their mannerisms, and, it may be
said, they are of the rigid English school
those that give man characteristics
that make him well worth knowing.
Mr.. Collins home is at South Bend,
Ind, where his father, c. NJ Collins, is
prominently connected, as consulting
engineer, with a large and influential
cement contracting concern. In Jann.
ary, 1902, with his fathers permission,
Mr.. Collins, who, like Others of his sex
may have been pit precocious, started
out to fight the world. Until yesterday,
when he arrived in Astoria, from San
Francisco, on the steamer Kiiburn, and
called upon Mr.. Allen. nothing had been
heard of him. He had attempted to
communicate with his parents indirect.
ly, but the tenor of the letter from his
mother. received yesterday by Mr.. AL.
len, would indicate that such endeavors
were futile. While calling at the As.
torian Office, Mr.. Collins recounted few
of his adventures and they read like a
chapter from the Arabian Knights.
Leaving South Bend with ticket for
New York and a liberal amount of
pocket money, he went to the metrop-
oils. 1t required about three weeks in
which to see all worth seeing in the al.
Turing city of Gotham. From New York,
he migrated to New Orleans. Shortly
after his arrival he found himself
stranded. Recalling his fathers admoni.

Mr.. Collins was determined that the

only Of cotton. This being an es-
pecially fine wheat, corn and al

the cotton figures are rather under

Peace reports come from Paris,

Az the Russian embassy it is de-

Office states that it does not know
