tenants, arrived here on the Cunard
steamer Umbria, on Jan 16. went 60 the
81. Denis hotel, at Eleventh street and
Broadway. and about three days later
disappeared as completely as II the earth
had swallowed him.
Last Thursday Mr. Clive-Bayley, the
English consul here, received letter
OF inquiry about the young man. II came
from Denver and was from Captain VII
liam French OF New Mexico. nn uncle
OF tho missing man.
The result was that yesterday the po-
lice were notified. a general alarm WAS
sent out, a private detective agency en-
gagged. the newspapers told and all the
machinery OF a thorough search for the

heir TO a peerage and large landed
estate. put in motion.

Private French came 10 this country
with the idea of going 10 New Mexico,
where his uncle, William j. French, has

usual crop of yarns about nob1emen cash
ing drafts and roaming at large in the
Bowery, together with sprinkling Of
mysterious strangers known to have been
in company with the Hon. Arthur Regi-
nald just prior 20 his disappearance.
All these fables Private French quickly
disposed OF with the plain story OF his
doings since his arrival here.
Then you had some idea of enlisting
when you started for this country
Private French was asked

WONDERFUL EXHIBIT
OF MYSTIC PAINTINGS

Lovers of art and things beautiful In
this city--and we are pleased 20 say
there are very many--are promised some-
what Of an artistic treat in the announced
exhibition Of the famous European mys-

sion and pleasure gained by viewing them
and seeing their marvellous powers Of
transformation In color. action and COM
position. How this feature Is accom-
plished Is known only TO those I'm posses
sion Of the secret formula OF the manu-
facture OF the paints used by the artists.
Certain Il Is, however, that no such
strangely mysterious effect has ever been
accomplished In the art OF painting be-
fore This collection OF paintings Is guar
anteed TO be the only one exlsnt that has
this unique and odd characteristics

criticism Of en- art connoisseur on its
merits alone. and sec that same picture
without any visible cause gradually change
its composition 90 that another picture
but with the same figures takes lts place
and eventually develops into a distinct

ADMIRAL SAYS OFFICERS

Gala. commandant OF tho Mare Island
navy yard. yesterday gave some addi-
tional details OF the escape OF three
officers from the Russian cruiser Lena.
He said that no watch had been put upon
tho officers their word OF honor being
considered sufficient.
From the first they had gone In back
and forth to San Francisco at their pleas
ure and had lived strictly up to the letter
OF their parole.
A change came. however. about the
middle OF January. when three of the
officers. Engineer Serge Kapatzin and
two midshlpmen. Mochaitofr and Kyra
Dynian. left for a visit TO this city and
failed 20 return.
When tn ,ir leave had expired and no
word had been heard the commander OF
the Russian cruiser reported the matter
20 McCalla. who I'm turn communicated
the navy department at Washington.
This was the latter part OF January.
No extra watch had been put on the
officers at this yard. Admiral McCalla
explained that the government cannot
distrust the remaining officers OF the
Lena because three OF the ships COM
plement proved untrustworthy.
Some time ago the United States gov
ernment allowed one OF the officers OF
the Lena, also an engineer. 20 return 10
Russia on account OF Illness. lie was
afflicted with melancholia. An appren-
tice was allowed TO accompany him.
The measures which Russia will take
90 make amends for the offence OF the
three officers against the United States
government will be watched with inter
est. as it is known that the officers
reached 81. Petersburg some days ago
and reported 20 the admiral there.
