FIERCE FIGHTING AGAINST DERVISHES PARES ES Rename Interment of Carnot’s Remains in the Pantheon. GENERAL FOREIGN | AFFAIRS —— ee EDINBURGH, July 19.—In the court of session, where Lord Kyllachy has been hear- ing evidence in the action for divorce, on the ground of Infidelity, brought by Mr. Clcud Alexander of Ballochmyle, Ayershire, against his wife, formerly Lady Diana Montgomerie, youngest daughter of the late Earl of Eglington, judgment was rendered tcday for the petitioner. ‘The Alexander divorce case is one of the mest remarkable of the many sensational divorce cases which have recently been the means of disclosing the darker side of the life of certain members of the British aris- tocracy. Lady Diana Alexander is about twenty-four years of age, and was married to Mr. Claud Alexander on December 14, 1889. On the trial she did not deny the charge of intimacy with one Harold Allison brought by her husband, but she claimed that she was guilty chrough her husband's suggestion and connivance. FIERCE FIGHTING AT KASSALA, mber of Dervishes Beaten and Native Troops. MASSOWAH, Egypt, July 19.—A fierce battle has taken place between a force of native and Italian soldiers, commanded by the governor general, and a large force of dervishes, who had sought refuge at Kas- sala. The Italian troops were victorious and Kassala was captured. The following particulars of the engage- ment have reached here. A large body of dervishes’ recently raided Carcabat, an Italian village. The dervishes killed many of the inhabitants and captured and sent into the interior as slaves all those who were not massacred. After leaving Carcabat, the dervishes marched toward Agordat, with the inten- tion of capturing that place. News of the raid reached the governor general, who was at Keren, on the Barca river, Italian Post situated somewhat less than half way between this place and Kassala. The gov- ernor general had his disposal a force of 2,400 troops, native and Italians, c&mmand- ed by fifty-four officers. With this force the governor general started in pursuit of the dervishes, and after. three days’ toil- some marching, during which the troops suffered considerably, he arrived» in. the vicinity of Kassala. He was there informed by some natives that the-dervishes had been notified of the pursuit of the Italian column and that they had sought refuge IM Kas- sala. There the dervishes strengthened the fortifications and took ‘steps “every “de- Tiption calculated te enable them to make a desperate resistance. The governor general encamped for awhile on the Maribex river, and made prepara- tions ‘to carry Kassala by assauit. On the morning of Tuesday last, July 17, the Ital- lan troops being thoroughly rested, an ad- vance was made upon Kassala. The der- vishes defended themselves with desperate bravery, but the town was finally carried by assault after a fierce battle had been fought. The loss of the dervishes was very heavy, and the Italians captured many flags and a large number of cannon. the Victory. ROME, July 19.—Premier Crispi, in the senate this afternoon, announced the vic- tory gained by the Italian troops at K: sala over the dervishes.’ The ‘ announce- ment was received with enthusiastic ap- Plause. The official dispatch received from Mas- sowah by the Italian government says that the garrison at Kassala numbered 2,000 infantry and 600 horsemen. A most ob- stinate resistance was made to the lialians, but the Arabs finally fied after several bril- Mant charges had been made by the Italian cavalry. The Arabs left many dead behind them, especially in the town itself. One Italian officer was killed and a few native soldiers were killed or wounded. These were the only casualties on the Italian side. CONQUERED THE MUTINEERS, it Down to Victoria in Irons. VICTORIA, B. C., July 19.—The sealing schooner C. D, Rand has returned from a sealing cruise, which was cut short by a mutiny of Incian hunters. The first signs of mutiny appeared off Sitka on June 15, wheri the wagcs were paid. The Indians then lowered their canoes and prepared to desert the ship. Owing to the new regula- tions Indians are the only available hunters for the Bering sea, as white men cannot use spears. The Indians demanded $5 per canoe extra. To this the captain agreed, and the Indians returned to the schooner. The Indians zgain mutinicd and took pos- session of the vessel. The mutineers num- bered twenty-one, while the captain had only five white men and two faithful In- dians to help him. The Indians threatened to scuttle the vessel, securing the skins which they believed were in the hold. Sev- eral times the vessel nearly capsized, owing to their bad management. At last the cap- tain and his men got the drop on the muti- reers and drove them into the hold, where they shut them up. He then sailed for Sitka, where he obtained handcuffs from the government officials and brought the In- dians down in irons. AT REST IN THE PANTHEON. Interment of the Remains of Fran Late President. PARIS, July 19.—The final interment of the remains of the late President Carnot took place this morning at the Pantheon, where they have been resting temporarily in a vault.

JOILET, Il, July 19.—When the late George Stewart of Wilmington died he had many thousand dollars’ worth of securitics, money, &c., locked up in his safe, of which he alone had the combination. When the executor, M. N. M. Stewart, came to’ ad- minister the estate he could net get into the receptacle holding the valuables. Consulting Warden Allen, Mr. Stewart sent the safe to the prison. The most expert safe cracker in the country, who is serving a long term, was shown the safe, and walking up to it, looked it over, “You open safes?” he was asked. “That's what got me in here,” the convict replied. He was handed a chair and seated him- self in front of the door, giving the handle several lively twists. Then he began a job that occupied over an hour's time,but | which ended in his throwing the door wide open. —__— WANT AN VESTIGATION, Serious Insinuations Regarding Judge " Ricks’ Honesty. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 19.—Resolutions demanding a congressional investigation of Augustus J. Ricks, judge of the United States circuit court, were adopted by the Central Labor Union at its meeting last night. It was asserted that in 1886, while acting clerk of the United States circuit court in this district, that Judge Ricks entered in the records a number of lawsuits known as the Birdsell cases, which were begun by farmers to test a statute. The cases were continued for several years, costs accumu- lating to a large amount. While the cases were pending Clerk Ricks became Judge Ricks. It is alleged that of these costs §%,- 500 was not properly accounted for. Robert Bandlow, who introduced the reso- lutions, stated that the attention of Attor- ney General Olney had been directed to the matter. The resolutions will be forwarded to Congressman Tom L.

His Body Found by the Docks at Philadelphia—Pockets Turned Wrong Side Out. Was James Brennan murdered? The be- Nef that he was is current wmong his friends, and an investigation into the case will be made. Several suspicious circum- stances have been pointed vut which seem to confirm the murder theory. Although the body when discovered had suffered con- siderable decomposition, a great, ugly wound, evidently inflicted with a blunt Weapon, could be noticed on the back of the head, weil up against the right car. This had the appearance of foul play. The pockets of the clothing were turned wrong- side out, and nothing of value was found on the body, though the .man in life was known to carry money and a watch. This is an additional circumstance tending to con- firm the theory that murder was committed for the purpose of robbery. James Brennan was a marine engineer, who, during the winter seasons, lived with his mother and two sisters at 85 Myrtle street. In summer he usually went to the north and secured a position as engineer. Early in the spring he left Washington, out of Philadelphia for Delaw resorts. Capt. Gallagher was mastef of the craft. Brennan brought the Corr into port on Sunday night, July &, and on the same night disappeared. Although his departure seemed to the officers and crew of the Corr to be rather abrupt, nothing much was thought about it as it was known abcard that he had relatives at Bridesboro, and his shipmates thought that he had gone there. This was thought probable, as the Corr was running only on half time, because of the dullness of trade, and was not sched- uled to leave on her next trip ull Thurs- day, July 12. After the surprise at his sudden disap- pearance had worn away, the matter was dismissed by the ship’s men, and it was be- Heved that the missing man would turn up in time to take the Corr out on her next run. On Thursday Capt. Gallagher was compelled to put a new man in the engine recm, and it was thought that Brennan had either deserted or had been forced by illness to remain away from his post. The signal of two bells was given to back water, and as the buckets churned round and the steam- er backed out of her slip, a human body rose to the surface and, two-thirds submerged, ficated and eddied in the foaming water around the wheels. The alarm was at once sounded, and the corpse taken from the water. Upon being lifted up, it was ii mediately identified as that of Brennan, missing engineer. The Corr continued on her journey, and the body was carried to the morgue. The friends and relatives of the dead inan at Washington know nothing as to the coroner's verdict, nor do they know what action was taken by the Phila- delphia police. The pockets were turned out when the body was lifted from the river. The ugly bruise on the head was also noted; but whether the police at Philadelphia are at. work on the case or not has not been Tearned in this city. The body was in an 8 o Washington. It met upon its arival here on Tues- he Baltimore and Ohio station and taken to Mount Olivet cemetery, where in- terment was made. Father Gasson of St. Aloysius Church perfcrmed the funeral rites of the Catholic Church, of which Bren- nan was a member. The dead man was thirty-three years olé, unmarried, and had a wide circle of acquaintances in this city. His brother, Hugh Brennan, called from Pittsburg, and left today fo> Phila- delphia, t» see what the authorities there are doing about the matter. The Star man talked this forenoon with the sister of the deceased, and she inclined strongly to the belief that her brother had been murdered. In reply to questions by the reporter, she said that so far as the family here knew he had no enemies among the men on the Corr, as he had written and spoken of them all friends and the best of fellows. He was not quarrelsome, and it was against his principles to provoke @ fight. There was nothing to lead to the conjecture that he had turned his pockets out to give out a wrong clue, and had then committed suicide.

Official views of the right of eminent do- main over Indian reservations are set forth in an important decision rendered by As- sistant Attorney General Hall of the In- terior Department. The question arose over a communication of the commissioner of Indian affairs relative to the right of certa! settlers at Stillwater, Mon., to build a bridge across the Yellowstone river upon land which had been allotted to an Indian woman of the Crow tribe. It is held that there can be little doubt as to the right of the eminent domain existing, either in the government or the state of Montana, as to warrant the taking of any part of the lands allotted to the Crow Indians in sev- eralty for such purpos The government's right of eminent domain on Indian lands has never been questioned by the courts. The other main principle involved ts the sovereignty in which the right exists—the United States government or the state. On this point it is held that the judicial au- thorities agree that while paramount sov- ereignty resides in the former, so far as the territories are concerned, yet with the creation of an independent state. the gen- eral rights of eminent domain are exclu- sively vested in the state sovereignty. The only exception to this rule is declared to be when the general government appropriates for its own purposes lands or other prop- erty to perform its own proper functions, and in such cases it may still exercise the authority in a state, as well as within ter- ritorial jurisdiction. Judge Hall concludes that Montana has the right to condemn for public purposes lands embraced in Indian allotments in the state. THE COURTS, Equity Court No. Judge Hagner. Smoot agt.

Fred was born in the early fifties, and when a young- ster used to sell papers. He attended school meantime and then worked his way through Brown Unive graduating with high honors. Afterward he entered the news- paper business, and while editing the Provi- dence Press struck up a warm intimacy with Prof. Alexander Graham Bell. Leil got Gower to give up journalism and inake lecture tours, explaining the uses of the telephone, and eventually sent him to Eu- rope in connection with the instrument. While abroad Fred made an improvement on the telephone, which he patented, and now, under the name of the Gower maguet, it is used on every telephone in Europe. He organized the BellGower Telephone Company in London, and was made its president, and was elected a member of the Royal Institute. He made his home in Paris, and it was theré, in 18%3, he mar- ried Lilly Norton, a native of rmington also, where her her had been a promi- nent citizen, and who had already achieved world-wide operatic fame as Lilian Nordica. At Fred's request she renounced the oper- atic stage and together with her husband came to this country. None of the people who knew the couple ever believed that they would be happy. Fred was eccentric in the extreme, and Lilian Norton was fond of having her own way. The inevitable came later. Mrs, Gower had gained lus- trous fame as Nordica, and she yearned for new triumphs, and eventually she applied for a divorce in this country from Fred on account of incompatibility and other things. Now comes the strangest part of the story. Fred was passionately devoted to his wife in spite of his eccentricities, and when the divorce proceedings were inaugurated he was in Paris experimenting witeh an ‘nven- tion he had discovered in ballooning. @ne day he ascended in his machine and never reappeared at his Paris home. The balloon was found floating in the North sea, and it was given out, and generaily believed, that Gower had been thrown out of it and drowned. I never believed that he was dead, but that he had taken such strikingly original means for the purpose of making it appear that he was so, and to thus cause @ censation of the divorce suit. The move succeeded, at any rate, for the case was dropped. Mrs. Gower has never remarried, and friends of hers incline to the opinion that she never believed him to be dead either. I heard some time after his disap- pearance that Fred was in Australia mak- ing money, and if the story that he has turned up in London ts true, another in- teresting chapter in his remarkably roman- tic career may be unrolled.” “The promoters of the great bridge rcross North river from Jersey to New York have run up against an unlooked for obstacle,” said Henry F. Mackin of New York at Wormley’s last night. “The barrier is no other than the filustrious Chauncey Depew, president of the New York Central railroad. who sald before he left for Europe that he would be eternally hornswoggled if that new bridge could find entrance on the New York shore anywhere between 58th and 72d streets, between which points the terminal property of the New York Central lies. The bridge company prop tan Island at some point between 59th and G9th streets, and the astute Chauncey says it won't do it by a jugful. As the New York Central controls one-fourth of all the inland commerce that enters New York city, It won't commit the folly of letting its rivals get in on its territory if it can help it. The bridge peopie claim that the New | York Central only owns to the water line, | and that they can bring their structure in by erecting it 150 feet over the New York Central property, and condemn __ private property for the bridge approach. There is going to be a pretty fight, and to a man up a conservative tree it looks as though Chauncey, backed up by the Vanderbilt millions, will be pretty much in it when (he referee gives his decision, “The summer girl of past seasons Is losing | her grip, so to speak, at Atlantic City,” said Carl McDonough of Newark at the Riggs House this morning. “The pink and white striped blazer suit, the heliotrope shirt waist, with big gold studs and crossed with a profusion of tiny-linked watch chain; the multi-colored shoes, the dashing-looking sailor hat and the blue sunshade are all there on the board wal« and the sands, but the masculine moths,no longer flutter around their brilllancy as they used to. The conspicuous girl, indeed, is sadly out of the flirtatious race, so far as Atlantic City is concerned. She now walks un- sought almost among the throngs that crowd the island. You see her at ihe inlet alone, and there are no more excursions for her down to Longport in which she is the only woman in a party of ten. The present style of girl affected this year is the demure creature who dresses quietly without being Quakerish about it. The article in girls which gives a side glance, | then looks down, according to the ;oet, is the popular brand. A pretty creature who wore the most striking costumes at the place last summer, and who used to ban- ter her male friends to swim out beyond the lifeboat. is there ogain this year, but she’s mightily changed. She wears grays and browns and other quiet colors, and when she dons her severe bathiz: blue and goes on the sands run away at the approach of even a @ | ple. There are fifty men on the alert to assure her that there's no danger and equally as many to offer thelr protection, The summer girl of the period is the shy and timorous creature, and prospective sm- mer girls will do wel! to remember it.” >_—— New Jerscy Dentists Mect.

Savings Bank, A FRIVOLOUS AND SELFIS! Immorel Life and Eviction of Ite Hosts Fellow Nestliags. From the Western Dally Press, England. At the present time the whcle of the woodlands of the temperate zone of urope are permeated by the cuckoo. He >eached Leigh Woods about the Ist of May. We Say he advisedly, as the she cuckoo did not arrive until ten days afterward. ‘This - her custom, and the male cuckoo did make himself obvious by the familiar “coo- coo” until she did come. A popular fallacy tells us that a cockoq lays eggs in another bird’s nest. She does not. She lays cight exes on the ground. The eggs are in size, color, spots and shape in accoriance with the information ob- tained—say in Leigh Woods: Out of the eight eggs, five or six would closely resem- ble the hedge sparro’ the other twa might be those of a Utiark, a wren, or a linnet. Her male friends—about three or four to each lady—now comes forward, se- lest each an egg, and carry it in its mouth tc the nest cf the pre-arranged fostermoth- er. Only one cuckoo egg is placed in on nest. If he finds a cuckoo has preceded hint on the same errand, he seeks another cra- die, knowing in a moment, amid all the eggs present, the cuckoo pedigree. The deluded mother hatches the intruder with her own brood, and the interloper, having the faculty of bemg hatched sooner than the others, is, of course, the first to come out of his shell. He manages to wrig- gle underneath his brothers and sisters, and presents them as a heave offering to the expectant rodents, mice, rats, stoats, and what not, and within twelve hours of his existence ts the supreme occupier of the nest. He keeps his black mouth wide open continually, which the father and mother of the depa:ted chickens as constantly fill until his body is too big for his home, ond h: departs therefrom forever. The cuckoo leaves the last week of July He is a restless being, like the soul of Johi Brown, always marching on. After ing Europe he begins in the north o rica and ends at the Cape of Good Hope, whence he returns to Europe tn the spring. Why does he go away, and why come hack Food—the.f he loves the hairy caterpit- lar. He will eat other grubs, but these are his hourly bread. It has been estimated tn round numbers that out of every hundred hairy catezpillars that wriggle into life ninety-nine are devoured by cuckoos. Every where nature is careful to maintain her bab ance. The cuckoo keeps down the millions of billions of hairy caterpillars, and pre- serves our cornfields from being hedge sparrows. The cuckoo ts servative, and as long as he liver returns annually to the neighborhood of his birth Ingenious Smuggling. From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat. “One of the most ingenious devices for smuggling was detected in Russia not long ago,” said O. L. Ratovitch of St. Peters- burg. “A great number of false bank notes ha@ been put in circulation within the dominions of the czar. They couid only have been im- ported, and although the strictest search was made habituelly over every vessel en- tering a Russian port, no trace of the smuggling of false notes was discovered. Accident, however, at last brought the mys- tery to light. It happened that several cases of lead pencils arrived one day from Ei jand, and while being examined, one of them fell out from a package, and the custom house officer, picking it up, cut !t to a point and used it to sign the order which delivers ed up the pencils to the consignee. He kept the loose pencil for his own use, a few days afterward, because it needed a new point, he cut it again and found that th Was no more jead. He cut stil! further, am was surprised to find a thin roll of Paper nested in the hollow place where the lea Was supposed to be. The paper was one of the false notes, and in this they hat been smuggled into the count —- se Jesse Tyeon, jr., a Baltimore society and club man, has announced that he woul enlist as a private in the United Stet cavalry service.
