Since they loosened the handkerchief
Moose in which she was found stran&=

have made unavailing efforts to make
her talk. Aside from saying that she
wants to die, she refuses to speak. Yet
apparently she is in full possession of
her senses. Once the physician1
trapped her into a stammering admin
sion that she lived in Stanton street
New York. As soon as they pressed
their advantage she refused 10 SAY
anything further. "a

BROTHER
AMONG VICTIMS
IN AUSTIN HORROR
Mrs. Lacey Fears Kin She Has
Not Seen in Forty Years
Perished.

That her brother, whom she has not
seen in forty years, was lost in the
Austin catastrophe, Saturday. is the
fear of Mrs. Annie Lacey, OF IL Norfolk
street. She wrote today to the chief of
police of Austin, and to the county
clerk of Kane county. giving as accu-
rate a description of her brother as she
could, and asking them to let her know
il he was one of those who persisted in
the disaster.
About forty years 8 she received a
letter from Patrick Latin, her brother,
In that note, the last she received from
tin. Kane county. and in business there.
She has not heard from him since.
About three years ago, however. two
men called at her home and said that
they represented the Australian gov
eminent and were seeking the rela-
tives of a Patrick Latin, who died in
that country. leaving an estate Of $500. :
900. The description that Mrs. Lacey
gave Of her brother, the two strangers
said, agreed with hat of the man who
lac died in Australia. They promised
to furnish her with further details
when they called again. Since then
she has heard nothing from them.
she believes strongly that Lahin was
still living in Austin at the time of the
disaster, n that he may, therefore.
be one OF the victims OF the holocaust.

THE BANKRUPTCY CASES.

If Referee Adams, Senator Osborne, Bilder &
Bilder and Senator Cornish and the rest of them, have
an answer to make to the criticisms upon the combina-
ton which has been worked so regularly in this county,
they should make it. They have all the accounts, know
where all the money went, how it was divided, what the
amounts we're, where the credit companies came in,
and all the rest of the facts. All they have to do, if
there is nothing wrong, is to refer the matters to three
intelligent arbitrator, independent and of recognized
standing, and get a plain statement.
If there is no more satisfactory explanation of the
matters than has yet been offered we think the judges
of the United States Court should act, and that the
subject should be taken up by the members of Con-
gress. We suggest that Congressman Mccoy, of this
county, who is not at all a timid man and is a lawyer
of repute besides, should take all interest in the matter.
The fate of Senator Osborne as a candidate for re-
election has been pretty we'll settled, SO that the case
can now be removed from politics. The only embar-
rassment from the first has been that the attack has
been evaded by him by p%roclaiming political martyr
dom. That was nonsense, or worse. Now it is pos
sible to get at the facts, without political influences.
The subject has far more than local bearings. The
scandals here are, by common report, duplicated else
where. The question arises whether the bankruptcy
law should not be repealed by Congress. We are sorry
to say that the Federal courts throughout the country
are responsible, by their neglect, for the demand which
is made for repeal.

From the days of Won Moltke they
nave had the assistance of scientific
and able German military instructors,
and their officers and generals are
efficient in all the modern appliances
OF war. Their armament Is chiefly
of the best German construction, and
their Notifications. especially those
guarding the ~Dardanelles, are equipped
with .,rupp high-power guns.
The Italian army is much less in
strength thar the Turkish army, and
although it has been IN years since
they have been seriously engaged, yet
they are in first-class condition as to
organization and equipment. Italy has,
however, a greater preponderance of
naval power, and with this they will
be much superior in the first engage
ments and military operations.
Fortunately. our grea republic is
too far distant 10 become involved,
and If we have any good Offices in the
interest of peace to tender it would
seem that now is a fitting time, rather
than to wait until the contest has been
decided on land and sea.
