An Actress Wants a Divorce— A Bur- glar Foiled by a Bell Boy—Rails roads 1 the World's Fair, Cicaco Orrice or Tre Bee. ) Cuicaco, March 2 Hon. Mark L. McDorald of Santa Rosa, ‘world's fair commissioner at. large from Cali fornia, said at the Grand Pacific today that Mrs. Gougar's story about the junketing done by members of the Hearst funeral party was false and shameful. “I'hero is not one word of truth in it he sald. “The mea who composed the party could not under any eircumstances Lave becn guilty of s0 gross an_outrage in the natural serso of decency and towards the noble man whose remains they accompanied to his Cali- fornia home., They were received hospita- bly, as are all guests of California people. They were given some cases of our wine, which they took back with thewm, a thing which they could do with perfect propriety This 1s all the foundation there is for the story which has been setafloat about oreies.” Senator Stockbridge, who is at the Riche- lieu, and who was referred to by Mrs, Gou- ar'as being particularly hilarious, spoke of t a8 the veriest sensational rubbish, “Is sbe responsible!’ he asked with a smile, referring to Mrs, Gougar, “Her story is absurd—all bosh, The charges she makes can probably be accounted for in the fact that the Grafton train was de- layed some hours at El Paso because mem- bers of our party cross the river into Old’Mexico for 1 while, While being_detained their train was side- tracked beside ours and she may have seen us eating our dinner through the car win- dows. “Wine served! Well, yes, Isuppose maybo there was some wine, table wineimbibed, but there was not the slightest bit of hilarity exhibited. We were as orderly as could be desired.” Senator Stockbridge laughed when asked if he and Senator Sawyer conducted them- s 10 such a manner as to justify Mrs, Gougar in particularly referring to them. “Why, Senator Sawyer and myself were the most exemplary menon the train. Saw- ser did not, to my knowledge, drink anything at all, while T have a national' reputation as a tainer, In my Washington ho never sorved, and at all the social gatherings I give guests come knowing that they will receive no wine.” When asked about Senntor Vance, who was also mentioned by Mrs. Gougar, Senator Stockbridge said: Vance was not in the party on the return trip. He left us after the funeral ceremonies were over in San Francisco and went up to Oregon. We went down to Palo Alto, Sena- ter Stanford’s place, and after a short stay ther® came on to Bl Paso, where the Girafton train Was waiting for us to pass them.” SUTHERLAND WANTS A DIVORCE, Richard Fjeld Carroll, the leading man of Pauline Hall's company, now playing at Hooley's theatre, has been sued for a divorce by his wife, whose stage name is Annie Sutherland and who is & member of Nat Goodwin's company, now playing in New York oity, The papers in the case were pro- red in'New York city and were served on r.

The sneak thief who climbea up the fire escape at the Richelien hotel last night frightened Landlord Bemis, his manager, and all the people about the house save one bell boy, nearly out of their wits. He had broken in to Mr, Bemis' room and was making out of the window with a #1,000 picture when the bell boy came to the rescue and, witha win- ;.luw pole compelled the thief to drop the pic- ure.

Mr. Carter took lunch with the president yestorday, and during his hour with the ehief executive was told that he could succeed Judge Groff if he desived the place. This turn of affairs was not altogether unexpected to Mr. Carter. He had been given intimations of it several days ago, and the fact got into print. A large number of telegrams were received from his Montana friends urging him to accept. He told the president that he preferred to return to his Jaw p; o at Helena, which is large and lucrative, but he stated that in iew of the many appeals from his friends throughout the country and especially fro; Montana, and the fact that the place was tendered as a special compliment to his new state, which is lurgely int tho public domain, he would likely ac Ho asked for three or four days in which to de- Tonight, it is known from information not far from Mr. Carter that he will accept. “Thomas H.

Hearu, Clever counterfeit. Wasmixaroy, March 28, —A sensation has been caused at the treasury department by the discovery of a counterfeit §2 silver certiti- cate 8o nearly perfect as to be almost impossi- ble of detection. Paper with silk thread through it is for the first time almost perfect- ly imitated 1n the counterfeitjust discovered. So far as is now known it bas been used in counterfeiting the § certificate of the series of 1880, 1t is estimated that there are now nearly £0,000,000 of these notes in circulation, and the problem before the treasury department is how to get them buck into tne treasury and substitute a new series without embarassment before any considerable quantity of thecounterfeit notes get into circulution. - This was the subject of a secret conference at the treasury depart- ment this afternoon between Secrotary Fos- ter and the leading officials of the bureau of engraviog and orinting. It was practically decided to suspend the printing of § silver certificates and institute a new series of the same denomination. These will contain a viguette of Secretary Windom and be issued soon s the necessary plates can be en- graved. It will take about two months to prepave the plates, and in the meantine the goverament will exert its utmost endeavors tosecure and destroy the plates and- other paraphernalia used in the manufucture of counterfeits. The Washington Natlonal's Affairs. WasmiGroy, March 2 ‘omptroller Lacey today received the official report of Examiner Hepburn in regard to the Wash- ington National bank of New York, butre- fused to disclose it coutents. ‘He has ad- dressed a cominunication to Hepburn, sug- gesting that only two courses are open if a receivership is o be avoided. In the fi place the comptroller can levy an asse ment of 50 per cent upon the capital stock, which would reinforce the assets of the bank by $150,000. This could only ever, in case the gireotcrs and large stock- holders would agree to advance for share- holders not propared for immediato payment. In case this amouut was paid in the comp- troller would permit the bank to resum business, and the amounts due depositor and creditors would be immediately availa- ble. In case resumption is impracticable, the comptrolier suggests that 000 in addi- tion tothe immediate available assets al- ready in hand would enable the bank to pay its creditors promptly in full, whereupon they could voto to go into voluntary liquida- tion and close tho affairs of the bank them- selves, This might bo raised upon a pledge of the loana and discounts of tho banik, sup- plemented if necessary by the personal guar- antee of the larger shareholders. If one of these plans isnot adopted it will ve his duty to appoint a veceiver and close the bank up in the usua! w Weather Crop Bulletin.

Parnell 8aid to Be Losing Ground— Feeling of Parliament in Re- gard to the Newfoundland [Copuright 1891 by James Gordon Rennett.\ TLoxpox, March 28.—{New York Herald Cable Bee.|—Easter finds Engiand’s sovereign and prime minister both on French soil, most of the ministry scattered over Burope, aud scarcely anybody left to look after the government except the perma- nent heads of departments. Balfour is enjoying himself immensely. His occupation is almost ontirely gone, in consequence of the utter collapse of the Irish party. Not for years has tho chief secretary sailed his bark in such smooth water. 1see no prospect of the Irish brigade re- forming the broken rauis or making any fight in parliament this year, Their weapons are levellod at each other’s throats, interne- cine warfare grows hotter every day, and but for tho presence of the constabulary and military there would be civil war in Ireland in less than a month, and all about a woman. Well may the friends of Ireland wring their hands :n despair. From the best information that reached me I judge that Parnell is losing ground in Ircland for practical political puvposes, though the shouting mob 1is still with hm. If he cannot carry the e 10ns he is lost. His friends confess fears on that point, hence his back falling about the contest he volun- tarily challenged in Cork, his supporters having informed him that the chance of suc- cess is bad. When the emergency comes the influence of the priests will likely decide the day, as in Kilkenney. A similar result is confidently predicted in Sligo, In tbis case Parneil's present followers in parliament will take alarm and drop off, leaving him shorn of power. But the divisions have shown that every constituency must paralyze TIrish action sometime. Even T. P. O'Con- nor feels it. In Liverpool a large section of the constituency is declaring for Parnell. This must result in considerable gain for the tory party at the next election, who will suatch at all contested seats, The parliamentary feeling is strongly in favor of making every possible concession to the claim of Newfoundland, Koutsford alone ins dogged and sullen, Ho and Raikes share between them all the unpopularity of the ministry, but the postmaster general will wisely come to an arrangement with the mes- senger comvanies. The public approves of the facilities given them by the companies, and what is equaily important to many mem- bers of parliament, to have boxes at their houses. To admit that Raikes is gaining a majority in his support of Knutsford’s case is less sat- isfactory. He has always taen an extréme beaurocratic view of colonial affairs and now thinks that threats and big words will scare the Newfoundlanders. Lord Salisbury is more amenable to reason. To him delegates should appeal. The removal of Knutsford would give much satisfaction here. In any case Newfoundland will neither be deserted nor given up by either political party, still less by the people. T learn on good authority that Gladstone is meditating a totally new departure, hoping to bring something liko order out of the pre- vailing chaos. This policy would involve the grand labor problem, a general review of tax- ation and the abandonment of all home rule schemes for the term of Gladstone's life. MEeMBER OF PARLIAMENT. An Alleged Papal Scheme. Loxnoy, Mirch 28.—[Special Cablegram to Tk Bee.|—Prominent Irishmen are com- menting bitterly on the news from Rome that the pope is again endeavoring to make a handle of the Irish cause to compel a diplo- matic concession from Great Britain to the vatican. Accordingto trustworthy advices from Rome the object of sending for Arch- bishop Walsh was not to ascertain the con- dition of Ireland, but to find out how far that condition could be nsed for papal purposes. It is said that the vapal proposition is that Ircland shall virtually abandon the demand for home rulo, contenting itself with the pro- vincial councils or something of that sort, and the British government in return for this concession secured through the influence of the church, shall follow tho example of othgr leading Buropean countrios and sta- tion M\ ambassador at the vatican. Arc bishop Walsh is said to be in a most embar- rassing position between his deyotion tohiome rule and his duty to the head of the church. His frionds hopo that he will succeed in con- vincing the pontiff thut such a programme is impossiblo in the present temper of the Irish people and would simply involve injury to the church without any compensation in the way of the coveted diplomatic arrangement. The Newfoundland Troubles. Loxnoy, Marcis 23, —|Special Cablegram to Tue Bee)—The Newfoundland question grows hotter and hotter as each new contro- versialist enters the scene. Sir Charies Dilke'sarticle in the Speaker supporting the claims of Newfoundland and upholding the acts of the colonists has caused & real sensation and raised a storm of opposition. The majority of the mornig papers protest vigorously against it as making too much of a minor issue and needlessly weakening the govern- ment in its dealings with France. They de- nounce the whole affairas a paltry lobster row and advise the government to pursue its course regardless of the claims and protests of the colonists. They want to know if Sir Charles is prepared to follow tne conse- quences of his articlo and face a war with rance. ‘The Spectator calmly reviews the situation. Itadmits that the colonists have cause for anger.

Farao, N. D, March 28.—|Speclal Tele gram to Tur Bek|—From certain facts which have come to light within a day or so, it seoms possible that the trial of Joseph Remington for the murderof J. T. Flett, at Arthur, may becomo one of the most famous in the Unuited States, As tho enso b present | stands, it seoms almost a forogone conclusion that it will be almost impossible to convine any jury of his innocence on the ground of insanity “or any common plea. It is almost a settled fact that the defense will bo on the same lines as the trinl of Gabrielle Bompard at Paris last wherein it was climed and o ¢ proven acase of hy pnotism that her plice was sentenced o hang while she re ceived a termof imprisonment. The thed in the Remington case, it is understood, wiil bo that while hypnotized by the Minneapolis woman, whose nime has been so frequently mentioned since the arrest, he murdered Agent Flett, Competent authorities who have visited Remington in jail with this theory in view aro said to bo of “the opinion that he s 80 constituted as to be casily liable to mesmieric influence, Should this ~line of defence be adopted it will probably be quite inferesting to lawyers, as 1t will bo the first one of the kind in the United States.

"This sort of denial, however, is not reas. suring, as the fallen statesman is kuown to possess ample information regarding everys thing relating to both the political aud milis tary powers of Europe. Tt is believed in Bulearia that the murder of M. Ballchiff, minister of finax is tho opening of u game of secretintrigue pre- ceding an open conflict. The conferring by Presidet Carnot of the grand cross of the legion of honor upon Baron De Mohreuheim, Russian ambassador at Paris, is merely partof the general effusion of the alliance and of the en- dearments exchanged between France and Russia. The czar today decorated M, Briois, military wttache of the French legation, per- sonally presenting him with the order, set with brilliants, and also giving him o rare malachite vase and a portrait of himself and the czarina. Briois will shortly return to Paris. He is thoroughly conversant with Russia’s project for the mobilization of forces and upon his veturn to Paris some schemo for simultaneous action will be agreed upon by the E'rench war office. Tt is for this rea- son that tho czur has conferred upon him distinction never before accorded a military attache. In an interview had with General Obronte cheuf today by a representative of tho reichstag the general declared that the un- ceasing rapidity of Russian preparations will enable the czar before the close of the pres- ent year to abundon his attitude of peace and forco any issue he may deom necessary to obtain his ends. Uunaer the hoad line “Strategic March of Russia_Westward,” the Reichsrote details the concentrating movements of Russian troops cantoned in Poland, +adolia and Vols bynia provinees, which now form one vast camp. The government bill which is now in course of preparation for submission to tha landtag, dealing with the Guelph fund, will briug into publicity the hidden history of Bismarck's disposal of large sums, If the Frelsinnige party get a chauce the whole secret of payinents to the press and police by Bismarck's agents, if they were drawn from the fund, will become a matter of public account. Liberal papers are already trying to trace the pay- ment. No one suggests that the prince used the money for other than political purs ‘poses, but the organ of the liberals demands that the ex-chancellor be compelled to make vestitution for 330,000 marks given Dr. Von Batticher and other payments drawn from the fund. “Phe candidate of the Freisinnige party for the reichstag in Gostemuude, finding no support, his withdrawn, leaving the contest to Bismarck and the socialist candidate, Nobody doubts that the princo will receive a great najority. The warmth of his reception at Altona and the extent of tho preparations throughout the country for the celebrationof the seventy-sixth anni- versary of his birth on Wednesday vrove the unabated popularity of the prince. The so- clety of German industrials will present the prince with a-silver table. service of fme mense value; The subscriptions for this were so great as to enable the committeo to purchase & piece of land adjoining Fried- richsruhe, which will be added to the prince’s domiaion. With growing doubts as 1o the emperor's callow wisdom being a poor substitute for the ex-chancellor's genius and oxperience, natianal sentiment reawakens toward Bismarck. The report, that a treaty of commerce with Austria had been concluded is premature. The negotiations are still progressing. The emperor will gc to Stettin on Tuesday next to lnspect the war ship now being built there. Thence his majesty will goto Lue breck, Kiel and Altona to visit Count Von Waldersee, Itis reported thut Count von Walderses willjshortly assume command of the Sixteenth, army corps at Metz and that Count von Mun- ster, the German ambassador at Paris, will replace Prince Von Bobenlose Schilling furst atStrasburg.
