NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—A quantity of radium of the activity of 300,000, the first of its kind seen hgre, will be placed on exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History Monday.

Photographer With a Claim Against Hamburg Hints at Violence. NEW YORK, Bept. b6.—Francls N. Benque, 46 years old, a photographer, was committed to Bellevue Hospital to- day to be examined as to his sanity. Benque had been arrested for writing a letter to Secretary of State Hay in which he threatened the Secretary if a claim of $41,000 was not paid. Benque has written letters on the subject to the various Pres- idents and Secretaries of State since the administration of Harrison, none, how- ever, threatening until this letter to Sec- retary Hay, in which he declared if Hay did not attend to his claim he would at- tend to Hay. Magistrate Cornell de- clared that he did not believe Benque was in his right mind and committed him to Bellevue for examination. The Washington police state that the | amount demanded by Benque from the authorities' of Hamburg, Germany, was 10,000 marks. This sum, he says, was in- vested in 1859 in a photographic gallery it when he was expelled because he re- fused to perform military duty on the ground that he was an American. He was given three days to leave Germany, through Secretary of “State Blaine had the time extended to three months. The alleged threat in his recent letter to Sacretary Hay w in the statement that he had written eight letters to the Gov- ernment to have his claim enforced, and the present one would be the last. He said he would take up the matter then himself and whatever he did would be “in self-defense.” The letter, like its prede- cessors, was long and rambling. ACTION NOT HAY’'S. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The following authorized statement was given to the Associated Press to-night: | 1t is understood that the action in the case tary of State. y such letters and as a rule pays not attention to them. In this case the letter came into the hands of officlals of the State Department, who thought it showed a disposition which might lead to mischief. Ben threats were not aimec especially at the S 3 tate, it was thought probable that he would make a journey to Washington to carry them out, but being =0 much nearer to Oyster Bay it was feared his disorder of mind might lead him there. For thin reason It was suggested to the proper officers that the matter should be looked into. It was learned that Benque had writ- ten Secretary Hay no less than 100 letters in reference to his alleged claim against | Germany, and In this last communica- tion, which hastened the determination of the officials of the department to cause his arrest, he notified Hay that he would allow just three days to pay heed to his demands, at the end of which time he would make his move, FEAR FOR PRESIDENT. When asked about it to-night, Secre- tary Hav would not say that the writer of the letter also threatened the Presi- dent, but the fear expressed in the state- ment above that the man's state of mind might take him to Oyster Bay would lead to the belief that he had communicated such threat. Benque's capture was made possible by the fact that he made no effort to conceal either his name or ad- dress, both being plainly given. Secretary Hay has received similar let- ters from at least twenty persons and he has heretofore pald no attention to them, but in view of the recent episode at Oyster Bay_and the present case the determination has been reached to place all such communications received here- after in the hands of the police, In the hope of locating the writers and placing them in custody. —————— ALGERIAN BRIGANDS ATTACK A CONVOY Kill Several Officers and Soldiers and Capture a Hundred Camels.
