Of J. D. Brown to Estab-
Ish Vast Domain.
Saw Himself Greatest Gfandee
Of Western Hemisphere.
Would Have Established a Great
Kingdom In South America.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-The secret Of
]. Dalzell Browns desire to represent
the republic of Uruguay in San Fran
cisco has been explained by y former
associate of the vice president and
manager Of the California SAFE Deposit
& Trust Co., who is accused of en-
bezzling funds Of the hank. This man
declares Brown has visions OF vast
South American estate with himself us
the greatest Erandee of the Western
hemisphere.
Brown gained most of his knowledge
Of South and Central America from
the comic operas where gracious pro-
moters merge a couple Of republics,
purchase the army, double the capital
stock and float the concern in Wall
street. Brown had planned an empire
Of the sort that King Leopold of Bel
GUM created in the Congo.
Brown showed great interest in the
Moisant plantations at Santa Emilia,
and had given some considerati ton to
their purchase. With this as a base ne
proposed to extend his holdings until
they formed &. domain without rival on
the globe.
The banker had visions of rambling
haciendas with broad patios. tropical
gardens with beautiful fountains, rich
ly carpeted halls. restful zephyrs and
beautiful senortas droning melodious
songs or coaxing tuneful waltZes from
tinklins mandolin and guitar. He had
mapped out the whole enterprise in his
imagination. and as consul for the free
and independent republic of Uruguay
he could speak with authority to pros
pective investors.
Brown finally conceived the idea that
he could achieve better results if he
himself were duly accredited as the
consul for Uruguay at this port
Uruguay is small and not very particu-
lar. and Brown got the job. He didn't
get it soon enough, however, to put it
to any use in furthering his plans for
the vast empire OF which he dreamed.

HOW THEY DID IT.

Boston. Jan 5-Four Indians. &C

Friday on the steamer Calvin Austin.

one, Sopiel Socoby, in Salem.
According to Capt. Proctor who
started out on the trial Of the Passa-
maquoddys several days ago with In
spectors Byrnes and Wells, one of the
Indians under arrest. Ben Francis. has
made $l140 since last March in dispos-

Ben did his hunting but 1t was dis

been killed In Massachusetts waters,
had more tails than one.
Out of one seal $50 near-tails. or

been camped on islands hereabouts and
had been seen cunning on the waters
for their prey. SO much was paid out
in various places. however. that sus-
picion became aroused. and Capt. Proc
tors attention was directed to the mat
ter.
For the better protection of food
fishes a law was passed here a few
years ago to encourage the killing OF
seals. This law says that whoever kills

IS HE REPENTANT?
Steel Trust Pres. Corey
Meets Former Wife.
Said to Be TO Arrange 10 See
Son More Frequently.
Rinted That He Is Already Weary.
Of His New Ties.

Braddock, Pa, Jan. Sit is said here
that William Ellis Corey and his present
wife. Mahelle Gilman Corey, are nearing
the parting OF the ways.
Corey came here Saturday and in the
home of his father met his former wife.
Laura Cook Corey.
Ostensibly the meeting was for the pur-
pose of arranging that Mr. Corey might
see more frequently his son. Allen. a stu
dent at Yale.
Allen Corey has always stood manfully
by his mother in the quarrel between
her and Corey, and also in the quarrel
between Mrs. Corey No. / and Mrs. Lille
cambridge. Coreys second sister.
Here in the home town OF Corey's
father there have been frequent runlorS
of trouble between the steel nlaglate end
his chorus-giri wife.
It is said that the disparity IN their
ages has resulted in GOODNESS between
the rair.
Added to this there has been the steady
campaign of ridicule publicly heaped upon
the Steel Trust president h. members os
the Gilman family, some of whom are
on the stage.
According to statements from authorize
tive sources. Corey has made overtures
looking to a reconciliation with his di-
vorced wife.
The meeting Saturday. it is said. was
arranged purposely to sound the senti-
ments of the first Mrs. Corey.
That she agreed to meet, again. her
former husband. is taken as reason for
believing that there is another chapter,
and the most sensational. to be written
in the Corey Gilman romance.

Boxers Active In Some Sections
and Cause Much Alarm.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-That small
arms in large quantities have been
Struggled into the interior OF China
from this city has come to the notice
Of the imperial consul at this port,
Sun SEE zee.
The information came in the form Of
an official notice from Viceroy Chang
Of Canton. An influential Chinese of
Eapa, Cal. named Lee Ming Fai. was
arrested in that city with a trunk load
of small arms and much ammunition.
He was set free because of his age and
the influence behind him.
An edict was issued shortly after
ward by the viceroy making it q cap
ital offence TO import weapons of any
kind into the interior Of China. No
tees concerning the edict are posted
In the local Chinatown, and Chinese
leaving here for home are warned
against taking arms with them. The
edict Is to guard against the possibility
Of the Boxers being equipped and arm
ed for another outbreak.
c. Polhill. an English missionary.
who has spent 20 years in China. and
arrived Friday on the liner Nippon
Maru. says that shortly before he left
his station at kai Tsien in the prov
ince Of Szchuan. place about 1900
miles from Shanghai. the Boxers had
caused considerable alarm to the for
eiTn residents.
rheimposition of half school tax
and heavier tax on opium had
aroused the Boxers to anger and start
ed them on wrecking rampage. Five
buildings belonging to the Protestant
and Catholic missions were destroyed
before the authorities succeeded In
quelling the riots.
Polhill says he expects trouble all
over China before many months.
