Balfour had no knowledge respecting the nature of the cell occupied by O'Brien. Of course it was his desire that O’Brien be com- fortably confined and the rules provide that untried prisoners sliould have reasonable ac- commodation. Nolun hoped the government would relax the prison rules applicable to a 'mllllrr\l of - fender in Ireland and especially urged a modifieation of the degrading dutiesentorced on commion eriminale, Balfour was unable to see that the of- fenses of persons arrested under the crines act differed from offenses under the ordi- nary law. All prisoners should be treated alike. Regarding prison discipline, ho was unable to conceive how the Irish members could make any difference between prison people and persons un rrest for ineiting people to crime and outrages and that giving those under arrest for committing crimes and outrages. O'Brien had only himself to thank for being in custody. John Morley said the action of the Lrish members was due to the nature of an excep- tional Iaw forced on their people and their country, IHe urged the governinent torecon- sider their refusal to erant an inquiry into the conduct of the police at Mitchellstown. Parnell said the government tried to strike terror into the hearts of their opponents by treating political prisoners like eriminals of the basest type. Parnell said the govern- ment roporters were never molested at meet- ings in Ireland. The ‘)mlwo acted like cow- ards and were a part of thesystem which was o reign of terror within prison and murder wicthout, Instead of coneeiving Ircland’s right to manage her own affairs, the govern- ment has taken her by the throat and was trying to strangle her, In conclusion Par- nell said wished Balfour well outside of his job. *My only fear is,” added the Irish leader, “lest some men bhecome 80 exaspera- ted as to commit wild acts of revenge, I will continne, however, to urge my country- men to ‘pulh-nt endurance, wrong and guffor- lu)f until they get home rule.” (lrish cheers.)

THE ROMANCE OF HIS LIFE, Born In Finland He Weds An Irish Lass—Love in the Loncly Tower =A Noble Wife's De- votion, Y08t His Mind, Ci1eAGo, Sept. 13.—|Special Telegram to the Brk.|—=Captain Charles Kallstrom, who is widely known among the vesselmen of the great lakes and the people of Chicago as the ‘‘Man at the Crib,” was taken to the insane department of the county jail last night, a hopeless maniac. His story isa peculiar one. The captain is a native of Finland and met his wife, who was an Irish lass, during a trip to the Green Isle on a merchant vessel, of ‘which he was eaptain, They were married and a few years later journeyed to the new world. They found themselves in Chicago and Kallstrom recaived the appointment of keeper at the “erib,” a light house some miles out in the lake, where the tunnel ends that supplies the city with water. Through stormy weather and fair there they were guarding the great wells and keeping the lights burning in the tower above. ‘The half million people wiio drank the filtered water never stopped gto think of the lonely littie coupie at the other end of the big hydrant. In winter and summer it was the samne, save at rare intervals, when curious visitors ar- rived to see what sort of u looking box the crib was, One day the incident occurred that made the names of the couple almost famous. The cap- tain in a rowboat had been to the city after provisions and a storm overtook him on his journey back. He wanaged to reach the crib, but his wife was alone and had to raise the boat with the windlass by herself. A hurricane was lashing the waters into foam and the stout-hearted woman worked at the windless for ler life. She partially hoisted the boat, then put her hands on the railing and leaped below to secure it. A spike caugiit under the gold wedding ring on her finge ind as sho dropped her finger was torn from its socket and hung on the rail above her head. With the blood flowing in a stream from the hole she secured the boat and then bore up while the wound was wrapped, Had she faltered for a moment her husband’s life would certainly have been the forfeit. So strong an incident at- tracted general attention, and whene Kallstrom came ashore he was much sought after to tell and retell the story and many a flowing bowl was quaffed to his brave wife. Kallstrom’s visits to the city boeame increasingly frequent and his associates le and less desirable, Urged by fool friends he determined to build an excursion boat, which, on its trips, would touch at the eriband allow a sight of the heroine and the lonely lifo of the lighthouse. It was at this time the Kallstrom was drinking most heavily, and often Mrs, Kallstrom was alone tending to the crib ina storm. ke had had a fall from the mast to the deck of a vessel whe boy, and that, taken with the drink, affected nis brain. He began to imagine quéer things, and one day accused his wife (,é Hirting with the visitors who came, espacially the aldermen and mayor. She knew he was not right in his head, and kept her troubles to herself. It is now known that he has made frequent at- tempts to slay the brave littie woman whose unexampled fortitude saved him from the waves. He is laboring under the hallucina- tion that not his wife alone, but everybody wants to assassinate him, and he is utterly unmanageable, Mrs, lstrom is nearly broken-learted. S O Investigating the Stoux City & Pacific, CnicaGo, Sept. 13.—Hon, David T. Little, of the Pacific railway commission, this morn- ing began an investigation into the affairs of the Sioux City & Pacific railw: which was subsidized to the extentof $1,500,000. This road was absorbed by the Chicago & North- western railway some years ago. It is de- sired to ascertain if this road 1s in condition to liquidate its indebtedness to the United States. It is shown that the road has paid current expenses and earned a surplus of $410,000 over and above the amount due the government for interest, but no payment has been made to the government. President Hughiit and Comptroiler K ham id not make it clear to the commissioner just what disposition had been madeof the money, tlughitt said that the road would probably not be able to pay the debt; that it liad been crippled by competition that the allezed de- ficit was used for y improvements, and that it was impos le for him tostate the Jprobable acti of the stockholders regard- g future payments. ‘The total sum called into questlon is §250,000, Ao Flopped Over to Prohibition.

Prof. Boeck of Philadelphia Knew Him When a Boy—English Jeal- ousy — Yankton Sioux Threaten Trouble. More About Mitkiewice. ASHINGrON, Sept. 13.—(Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—A well-known gentleman who has spent the greater part of his life in the diplomatic service said this morning: “The Chinese concessions which have been granted to the Mitkiewicz-Barker syndicate mean almost countless millions of dollars in the pockets of American merchants. It is no wonder, then, that England should throw obstacles in the way of the consummation of this grand American-Chinese scheme. I Jearn, too, that the English legation people in this city have been instructed by their home government to spend any amount of money to thwart Count Mitkiewiez, The plot will fail, as the Chinese are shrewd enough to sce through the whole thing. What bothers me, however, is that Count Mitkiewicz, who has undertaken a herculean job to open upa trade between this country and China, which, as is said, means countless millions in the pocicets of American and Chinese merchants, should be opposed by any portion of the American press. The press in abusing Count Mitkie- wiez has evidently been deceived by wicked people who have no desire to see the country benefitted. ry paragraph in the press of this country which reflects upon the count simultaneously appears in London and ‘Lien Tsin, The opponents of Count Mitkiewicz are doing everything they can to villify his char- acter, which Is generally -admitted to have been somewhat compromised by his earlier career. Prof. L. J. Boeck, of Philadelphia, was preceptor to the count when he was a child and familiar with his career. Prof. Boeck said that he entered the service of Russiaas a_professor of edu- eation nany years ago at Warsaw. There he met the present count’s father, who was general postmaster of Poland and one of the richest men in the eapital. At this palace he met the most scientific and “learned men in the capital. He was appointed some time later preceptor to his three son 16 be- ing the youngest, He held you Sugene of- ten in his arms and saw him grow,from baby- hood to boyhood. Subsequently he went to Berlin and had a variety of adventures until hecame to Awmerica, having been forced to leave Paris on Napoleon’s coup d'etat, In 1863 he met young Mitkiewiez in New York. “The young man, fresh trom the trammels of Russian oppression and without moral train- ing, finding that he had full freedom, becan to sow his wild oats.

Lves Tells the Story ot His Firm's Fall- ure. NEew York, Sept. 15.—(Special Telegram to the Bei.|--The World nublishes over a page, giving what 18 claimed to be the first authorized statement from the head ot the wrecked firm of Ives & Stayner. The most Interesting part relates to the Baltimore & Ohlo. According to the story Ives had a re- markably long head, and succeeded in getting A grip upon half a dozen railroads, and then reached out for the Baltimore & Olilo, which, with the Cincinnatl, Hamilton & Day ton, Vandalia & Dayton, Ft. Wayne & Chi. eago, would form a vast system not secured even to the Pennsylvania railroad. The contract with Garrett did not show a mere ontion, but an absolute purchase by Ives & Stayner, and an absolute sale by Garrett. ‘The matter progressed favorably until two days prior to Garrett's sailing for Europe, when, to the consternation of all, and the great surprise of lIves & Stayner, the famous letter of abrogation appeared in all the morning papers. "This was the first intimation Ives & Stayner had received of such action on the part of Garrett. Garrett sailed for Kurope with $220,000 in cash, a cer- k for $100,000, and $155,000 of pre- ferred stock of the Cincinnatl, Hamilton & Dayton fu his pocket, given him by lves & Stayner as part payment of the account of their other purchase of hisstock, which stock he himself held and failled to dellver, Ives says his assignee will certainly be able to re- cover the securities from Garrétt. Two con- tracts with Garrett are quoted in full, Ives was asked: “H you an expression o(ln‘vsdnwn to make as to the action of Gar- Tetty *I'wo suits which I have broucht against rrett perhaps best express my views.” *'Mr. Ives, it has been said that the stock exchange may consider some of the trans- fl'i'klm'!,ln of your firm reckless and unbusiness- o, I do not see how they can be so construed. The general custom of the street is a 10 per cent margin on either a_purchase or sale, Had we purchased 3,000 shares of St. Paul or Reading, would that have been cousidered reckless and unbusinesslike? Surely all our transactions were well protected,” *Did not Gar W 1on cause or precipi- tate your assignme; outrageous breach of faith in writing the letter to the Philadelphia Record rendered further negotiations im- possible. and s departure for Europe with nearly $200.000 of money and securities be- longing to us, and for which we had r absolutely nothing was the direct e our embarrassment,” The record was sent back to the referee to be amended. “In giving his decision the ref- eree exceeded his powers in examiming wit- nesses and expressing his opinion during examination. Ives' counsel served notice of appeal from the order of Judge Bookstayer directing the continuance of the reference. BROKE A DEATH-BED OATH.
