great diamonds of the world was offer
ed for sale in an eastern market. Mr..
Grey, who stopped at no expense in
the qualification of his taste in this
direction. Immediately sent his agent
to Egypt to examine the stone If the
agent discovered it to be all that was
claimed for it and within the reach OF
a wealthy commoner's purse, he was
to buy it. Upon inspection it was
found to be all that was claimed. with
one exception. In the center of one of
the facets was a flaw, but as this was
considered to mark the diamond and
rather add to than detract from its
value as a traditional stone with many
historical associations it was finally
purchased by Mr.. Grey and placed
among his treasures in his manor house
in Kent. Never suspicious man. he
took delight in exhibiting this acqusi-
ton to such of his friends and ac
quaintances as were likely to feel any
interest in it, and it was not an I'M
common thing for him to allow 1t to
pass from hand to hand while he pot
tered over his other treasures and dis
played this and that to such as had no
eyes for the diamond.
1t was after one such occasion that
he found on taking the stone in his
hand to replace it in the safe he had
had built for it in one of his cabinets
that it did not strike his eye with its
usual force and brilliancy. and on ex-
aiming it closely he discovered the
absence OF the telltale flaw. Struck
with dismay, he submitted it to still
more rigid inspection, when he found
that what he held was not even dia
mond. bat worthless bit of glass,
which had been substituted by some
cunning knave for his invaluable gem.
For the moment his humiliation al
most equaled his sense of loss. He
had been SO often warned of the dan
ger he ran in letting so priceless an
object pass around under all eyes but
his own. His wife and friends had
prophesied some such loss as this not
once. but many times. and he had al
ways laughed ut their fears, saying
that he knew his friends and there
was not Il scamp among them. But
now he saw 1t proved that even the
intuition of man we'll -versed in hui
man nature is not always iniallible,
and, ashamed of his past laXness and
more ashamed yet of the doubts which
this experience called UP in regard TO
all his friends, he shut up the false
stone with his usual care and buried
his loss in his own bosom till he could
sift his impressions and recall with
some degree of probability the crcum-
stances under which this exchange
could have been made.
1t had not been made that evening.

 The session, which was devoted to interpellations. was marked by a series of disorders, due mainly to the inabil- ity of the vice-President to maintain order.
 The lower house today adopted 6 mo- ton of NJ Maklakoff of Moscow, the Constitutional DeNocrat leader, to in terpellate the Minister of the Interior concerning the execution of four men in a suburb of Moscow.
 The men, who had wounded a police- man in a drunken frolic, were tried by drumhead courtmartial, the first court refusing to impose the death sentence. M Maklakoff, who spoke on personal knowledge of the affair, described 1t as a clear case of judicial murder He said the Governor-General of Moscow had no right to cancel the findings of the first court and convoke a second court to retry the prisoners.
 President Golovin has applied for an audience of the Emperor for the pur- pose of presenting his report of the proceedings of the lower house of Par lament as required under the law.

Her ears looked as if they would drop of.

 New York. Tpril 16.-Thomas McP1ks, law partner of Dolphin M. Delmas, called on Clerk Penny of the supreme court and demanded the immediate sur render of some of the exhibits intro duced by the defense during the trial.
 These exhibits include the letters and notes writttn by Thaw to MT. Delmas during the trial and later submitted by MT. Delmas to the commission in luna cy which held that Thaw was legally sane. Clerk Penny resi onded to the demand by saying that he could not surrender any portion of the exhibits unless directed to do so by supxeme court order
 MT. McPike said on leaving the clerks office that he would endeavor to procure the necessary order. All the exhibits introduced in the case by the defense were locked up in Clerk Pen ny's safe yesterday on request of Dan- iel O'Reilly, one of Inv counsel MT. OReilly made the request at the con- clusion of a long interiew with the prisoner in the Tombs.

 The precise place where S. A. D. Puter obtained the two S1,0e0 bills he said he gave to Senator Mitchell was again the subject of controversy, MT. Puter being recalled by the prose- cution. Notwithstanding telegrams from Milwaukee and Chicago banks tracing several drafts, MT. Puter stuck to his story that he got six or eight such bills from a Milwaukee bank.
 MT. Hermann resumed the stand and was questioned briefly regarding a telegram on record in the land office sent by him to W. N. Jones, of Port land, Ore, July 5, 1901, which read:
