2 MTKIEWICZ'S BIG GAME. A REPORT THAT THE CHINESE MIN ISTER SIGNED THE CONCESSIONS. The Mandarins, in Their Desire for China's Development, Willing to Overlook the American Record of Their Deliverer From the Xew Port ,9vn. Washington. Sept. 6.—At the Chirw* Legation there was a conference last night between the Mitkiewicz-Barker syndicate, the Chinese Minister and the mandarins ■who accompanied Mitkiewiez to this coun tr. This conference lasted until a very late hour, and the result was that a ca gram was sent to China today, in which the names of the gentlemen who have ub embed for the stock of the syndicate w ere given. It seems that the amount of money to be subscribed has been overstated It is $25,000,000 instead of $50,000,000. Of this •um $12,000,000 have been sol-scribed by the Chinese. One of the seeretai ics of the Chinese Legation said today that the Chinese government would take $5,000,- 000 of the stock, and that the other $7,u00.0u0 liave been subscribed for by mer chants in th ■ Chines*- empire. There w ere • number of meo with more or less capital at their disposal at tie- Manning House to day who were anxious to get in on the ground floor, but they were too iate. It u> said that Drexel, Morgan & Cos., of Phila delphia. have agreed to take upwards of $2,000,000 of the slock which will l-e sold in the United States, and that every share is spoken lor. Mr Chang Yen Hoon, the Chi nese Minister, is said to have l*-en fully sat isfied with the responsibility of the gentle men who form the syndicate, and there is excellent authority for raying that the <sjn cewdons were compi-tod to-da y bv th-* ad dition of bis signature to the papers which were brought from China by Mitkiewiez and bis fell rw -travelers. The amount at w hich the scheme is capi italized will seem rather small for the enter prises winch are to be undertaken, but it is said by Mr. Barker's representative ttiat the Bum will be ample for the present, as the empire of China is not developed up to the point of gridironitig the country as yet. B< - sides this, the cost of labor is so low in China that the work will be accomplished at an expenditure far less than similar enter prises would need in this country. It seems that the concessions are really one concession. A bank is to 1a- established with a capital of $25,000,000 and w ith the power to issue circulation up to the full par value of the stock. The charter of the bank carries with it the nght to engage in tele graph and railroad construction It is un- Serdood that the full terms of the conces sion will be published from Philadelphia to morrow or Thursday. While the financial record of Mitkiewiez in the United States may not have been always just whit it should be, the Chinese mandarins, who accompany him. seem to have the highest n-gara for his ability as a flnanc.er. They praise his shrewdness, and consider him as a *rt of savior. They as sert that this enterprise will be the making cf the empire. A gentleman of responsi bility says that he saw a telegram to-day from Wharton Parker pi Mitkiewiez. in which the former offered the latter $250,00U for his interest in the concession. The stories whiek are being brought to light regarding MitkiewiezN past are such as must cause the alleged Count a good deal of personal annoyance, A.s the Sun said yesterday, he married in the fall of 187-1," at Amherst, Mass., Miss Caroline Letter, an heiress, and the niece of Prof. William H. Tyler, of Amherst College. Miss I>*tcr's relatives strongly objected to the match, and deflated that the Count was an adventurer. The Count and his wife separated in 18*0. alter they had traveled the world over and experienced a variety of fortunes. But in I*B2 Mrs. Mitkiewiez was again living with her husband, this time at the Amhtvst House in Amherst, The wife had consumption and died in the fall of 1885. To the credit of her husband it may be said that be watched at her bedside until the last and did what he could Pi comfort her. After her death her relatives got pos session of her children through a decree of the Probate Court of Ham|>hire county, Massachusetts, declaring that the “Count" was ail unfit person P care for them. The children, or most of them, are now with the Rev. Row land Ayres in Hadley, Mass. The Count fought this decree, but P> no avail. Then he disappeared from Amherst, and the glory of his billiard playing remained a cherished memory among the college Students. The Sun story revived others about the carryings on ol the Count in this city. Away back in 1888 a young man named Eugene Mitkiewiea, whose personal graces won the heart of several New York girls, lived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and spent money like a lord. Indeed, he said he was a Count, and that his people were among the Polish nobility. <j*e day in jest he took a diamond ring from the finger of a lady. Miss Julia Lomolino, a relative of the late Nathaniel H. Wolfe, Jr., who lived tel Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street. He kept the ring a" long time, and when he was ask< and to return it he said that be hail lost it. Then be found it again and gave it back. Hut, alas' the diamond iu the ring which he re turned was a paste diamond. He was arrested and examined before Justice Richard Kelly in the Jefferson Market Police Court. It transpired that the Count had sold the original diamond to Philip Rien. a jeweler, whose shop was under the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Mr. Rien gave SSOO for the sPme and some other articles of jewelry worth about s'2so. Mitkiewiez was sent P> the Tombs, and on Dec. 10, 18b., he was indicted for grand lar ceny. cut, he returned the money and the jewelry Pi Mr. Rien, and Mr. Rien gave the diamond back to Miss Lomolino, and there was no disnoaition to prosecute Mitkiewiez. He was released on SI,OOO lia.il on his prom ise to enter the Union army There waJ great concern in certain social circles at the time lest a trial of Mitkiewiez should bring into print the names of the )>enple who luul petted blm and the women who had sought his attentions. He went to a remitting station to enlist, but he did not enlist, ana that was the last that was heard of him until he met Miss I .ester on an ocean steam ship bound to this country in the summer •f 1873. There are queer stories about business transactions of the Count in Maryland in the early part of 1880. lie was in the coal business in Baltimore, lived expensively, confidentially exhibited to his creditors let ters written to him by Russian nobles, and finally failed. He was arrested on a charge of falsenrep-nces preferred by Partner & Cos., of Philadelphia, his principal creditors. He was acquitted on his trial, his defence being his ignorance of business rules. It is anJd that Admiral Porter lost money by the failure. Then the Count tried to run a summer re sort on an islaud in the Potomac river, and made a failure of that too. It is said that there is a judgment of $4,000 out ugainst him on account of this failure. Judge Richard Kelly said last night that his remembrance of the Mitkiewiez case was somewhat indistinct, but be remem bered the fact of the arrest well, und of the efforts made Pi bush the matter up. “Mitkiewiez was a tine looking young fel low," saiil tile Judge, “and very ]>olishod and gentlemanly in his manners. I think 1 remember that he sjsike two or three lan gunge,. He was, I believe, what is called a todies’ man." fatally Inlured by a Bose Ball. New Yokk, Kept.

There were only two or three listeners. Mr. Lincoln was in a melancholy, medita tative mood, and had been silent for some time. Mrs. Liucoln, who was present, ral lied him on hu solemn visage oml want of spirits This seemed to arouse him, and. with' mt seeming to notice her sally, he said, in slow and measured tones: “It seems strange how much there is in the Bible about dreams There are I think some sixteen chapters in the Old Testament and four or five in the New. in which dreams are mentioned; and there are many other passages scatPired throughout the book which refer to visions. If we believe the Bible we mut accept the fact that in the old days Ood and his angels caine P> men in their sleep and made themselves known in dreams. Nowadays dreams are regarded •* very foolish, and are seldom told, except by old women and by young men and maidens ill love. Sirs. Lincoln here remarked: “Why, you look dreadfully solemn; do you believe in dreams.'" “I can't sav that I do," returned Mr. Lin coln, “but I had one the other night which has haunted me ever since. After it oc curred the first time I opened the Bible. Strange as it may appear, it was on the twenty-fifth chapter of Genesis, which re lates to the wonderful dream Jacob had. I turned to other passages, and seemed to en counter a dream or a vision wherever I looked. I kept on turning the leaves of the old book, ana everywhere my eye fell upon passages recording matters strangely in keeping with my own thoughts—sujiernatu ral visitations, dreams, visions, etc. ’ He now looked so serious and disturbed that Mrs. Lincoln exclaimed: “You frighten me! What is the matter!" “I am afraid," said Mr. Lincoln, observ ing the effect Ids words had upon his wife, "that I have done wrong to mention the subject at all, but somehow the thing has got possession of me. and, like Banquo's ghost, it will not down." This only inflamed Mrs. Lincoln's curiosi ty the more, and while bravely disclaiming any belief in dreams she strongly urged him to tell the dream which seemed to have such ahold upon him, being seconded in this by another listener. Mr. Lincoln hesitated, but at length commenced very deliberately, his Prow overcast with a shade of melan choly. "About ten days ago,” said he, “I retired very' late. I had been up waiting for im portant dispaPihes from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream There seemed to be a deathlike stillness about me. Then l heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered down stairs. There the silence was broken by the s ime pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room. No living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as 1 passed along. It was light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me, but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break; I was puzzled and alamod. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of this state of things, so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the ‘end rootn,’ which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapjjed in funereal vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers, who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, some gazing mournfully uism the coqise, whose face was covered, others wip ing pitifully. ‘Who is dead in the White House f 1 don landed of one of the soldiers. ‘The President,' was his answer. ‘He was killed by un assassin.’ Tnen came a large burst of grief from the crowd, which awoke me from my dream. 1 slept no more that night: and although it was only a dream, I have lieen strangely annoyed by it ever since.” "That’s horrid," said Mrs. Lincoln. “I wish you had not told it. lam glad I don’t believe in dreafhs, or I should lie in terror from tins time forth.” “Well,” responded Mr. Lincoln, thought fully. “it is only a dream, Mary. Let us say no more about it, and try to "forget ail about it." A DESPERADO’S END. Found Dead in the Woods After Bat tling with a Posse. A desperate encounter between a posse of officers and a fugitive criminal took place a night or so ago in Randolph county, Ala bama. About a week ago a strange man appeared three miles from Wedowee, armed with two big revolve!*, a double-barreled shotgun, and several knives. He made himself at home anil seemed to be perfectly fearless. He made his headquarters at the house of a woman of had character. To this place he was followed by a sheriff’s ixissti from Chambers county, Alabama, who represented him as “Dink" Buckalew. an escaped convict from that county, who had outwitted the officers. Several young men of the neighborhood joined the posse, und a night attack upon hfs lair was planned. The party approached the house as quietly us possible, but when they were about fifty yards distant Buckalew, who was evidently on the lookout, o|*-ned a deadly fire, sin siting Henry Tucker dead null wounding three others. When he had emp tied his weapons lie jumped out of the back door of the house and ran like a deer, esoup iug to the woods in snite of the posse’s vol leys. When the dead had been attended to several men with torches made an effort to catch up with Buckalew. They found along the way traces of blond, and when daylight came discovered the dead body of the fugi tive, where lie had sat down, leaning against a tree. Once before Buckalew was almost ill tile hands of the officers. He then blackened his face, |and. offering hi* ser vices to discover the fugitive, led them a wild goose chase, only to disappear and leave the officers to discover how they hud been outgeneraled by the very min of whom they were iu pursuit. 400 Mormon Immigrants.

Among the squaws accompanying Colo row iu his peripatetic joumeyings about the White Itiver country is Chipeta. the wife of the lamented Ouray, the late head chief of the Ute Nation. The career of this woman is beyond anything yet written: even Feni more Cooper, in his description of the ro mance of aboriginal life, falls far short of anything like it in his character .-ketches. Following Ouray's election to the chieftain ship, the first official act he was tailed upon to consider was the advisability of a removal of his tribe from the mountains of Colorado to Utah, and in connection with a proposed treaty Isetweeu the United States and the Ute Nation be was summoned to Wash ington. On his trip he was accompanied by his wife. Both he and Chipeta bad in a measure adopted the dress of civilized life. 7 hey owned their own ranch, their herds fed upon their own pastures, and in essen tials lived as white people and enjoyed the comforts of civilized life. These facts pre ceded the chief and his consort to Wash.tig ton. and with all the romance of their win! mountain life clinging about them, added to the heritage of an ancient and warlike line age. they were received with open arms by the high social circles of the capital city. Everywhere thev were feted and the doors of the mansions in the West End swung inward at their approach. Chipeta was idolized. She was clothed in silks; her raiment was the fancy of the best Eastern dressmakers, and the tawdry finery associated with a life of savagery was con spicuous by its absence. Tiie illustrated journals took the cue, ami the wife of Ouray became libeled throughout the breadth of the land by the pencils of special artists. She was the rage for the season she was in Washington, and the epistolary correspond ence from attaches of the English legation to the court journals at London referred to her as a “Mountain Princess," and bespoke for her a hearty reception from the peerage of England should she visit that country, which she at that time actually contem plated. As souvenirs of her visit” to Wash ington, Chipeta carried away with her quantities of silver plate, a portion of which was presented to ner by the government through the Interior Department. Shortly after his visit to Washington and th'- consummation of the treaty Ouray died He was sincerely mourned by his people, and as an indication of their grief, and in conformity with long-established custom, the horses of the dead man were ltd up to the grave and one by one shot. All that was valuable in earthly existence was to ac company him to the happy hunting ground of his race—all but Chipeta; and she, too, would probably have accompanied her liege lord hail she lived a couple of centuries ago. As it was, the custom of her tribe, by the greatness of her oxaltod position, con demned her to a life of perpetual widow hood. Any deviation from this unwritten law would draw down upon her head the maledictions of the entire nation, and she would become an outcast, a pariah among her people. But Cnipeta had a will of her own. She had tasted of the privileges which her Cau casian sisterhood enjoyed, and when the op portunity occurred to marry a handsome buck she did so, not stopping to consider the great fall thereby in tme social scale. As might have been expected, the bead men of the nation, with unanimity and decision, condemned both her and her husband to ostracism. They had both violated a sacred law of social government and they must suffer With her new alliance she turned ’ her back upon civilized life in every form. Her silks and satins were discarded, and even her plate was melted down to make gewgaws for her husband’s friends. Her stock was taken from her and reverse fol lowed reverse till she was absolutely forced beyond the line of tribal kinship, and she with her husband became a wanderer. This, doubtless, was hurried by the un fortunate mistake which she had made in locating a ranch on the new reservation. It was an excellent site. There was pleuty of water, and buffalo mesquit. and gramma frasses gave nourishment to the stock. Vhen the lines were made dividing Utah from Colorado it was found that Chipeta’s ranch was on the wrong side of the line, and not in the reservation. It became, therefore, legitimate plunder for the settlers, who lost no time in dividing the spoil. Like the renegade of her tribe, Chipeta in her wanderings tended to the White River country. There at least she would be wel comed and some respect paid to her fallen greatness. She and her husband joined Colnrow, and are now with him. Chipeta is growing old. She must be in the neighborhood of 50. Colorow was once her enemy, as he was the enemy of the peace-loving Ouray; but when her white friends turned on her she sought straits in life where she could find friends. It is not now believed that she entertains a warlike spirit toward the whites, but, being with Colorow, she is in bad company. Once the queen of the nation, she is now leading the life of a common squaw. LITTLE MISSES WITH MILLIONS. One Has $1,000,000 for Each of Her Five Years, and Another Owns's7,- 000.000. A Long Branch special says: There are two noteworthy little heiresses at the shore just now. One of them is at the Howland House here at the Branch, and the other is at the Beach House down at Sea Girt. One of them has millions in prospective, the other has them in possession, subject only to the guardianship of her mother. The Howland House heiress is Miss Hidalgo, of New York. She is 5 years old, dark eyed and decidedly pretty. Her features betoiten her Hi anish parentage. Slu- is the daughter of Julio Hidalgo, probably the richest Culxin cigar manufacturer and importer in the world. There is $5,000,000 coming to Miss Hidalgo. Her father has them safely invested in the little one’s name, it is said. Young os is Miss Hidalgo, and long as it will be before she can cull the millions her own, there are numerous suitors lor her hand. The proxies consist, of anxious mothers of numerous small boys at the Howland and West, End Hotels, who culti vate the acquaintance of Mrs. Hidalgo, a regular Cuban beauty, and have their youngsters play m the sand with the heiress. The heiress down at Sea Girt is May Hharpless, of Now York and Philadelphia. His- la-longs to both cities, because ler mother abides now in one and now in an other. Really, Miss May is a New Yorker by birth. Her father, one of the firm of Arnold. Constable & Cos., died in Paris sev eral years ago. where lie was a resident partner of the house. Miss May is 8 years old, very bright ami smart, and $7,000,006 has been left her in her own name. Her great hobby is her dolls, of which she has at least a dozen handsome specimens. They are the best the market affni-'ls.and their dresses were made by Worth, in Paris, Miss May’s own dresses are wonders of the div.-*mutkmg art, and her mother, who is also very rich, spends thousands of dollars on her child’s wnrdrolie. Mrs. Hharpless, the mother, was reported some months ary as aliout to wed ex-Gov. Leon Abts-tt, of this Htato, but the re|K>rt seems to have been unfounded. The ex-Governor is Mrs Hharpless' lawyer, however, and he wx'stlmt the young heiress’ fortune is properly taken care of. Foundering of a Schooner. Milwaukee, Wis., Hept.

SENSIBLE FOOLING. ; A Deceptive Way of Getting the Sort of Vaccination Wanted. .from the Boston Poet. I heard in a down-town office yesterday a tale which rev-alls Hawthorne’s story of the man who went oat for a walk one evening after saying good-by to his wife, and did not return for twenty years, which he spent in a house on the ad joining street. It seems that a citizen of Boston, whoae name, if I should give it, would be recognized at once by many of my readers, found himself lat spring in a vary worn and nervous con dition. It seemed to 1* absolutely necessary that he should go somewhere where it w iuld be impossible for letters or telegrams of business to annoy him. The family phy sician suggested a trip to Europe, and his wife, professing her willingness to stay at home and look after the large family of chil dren, the merchant for such he was, appar ently acquiesced. He stipulated that no one should see him off, and that no letters should be expeeted from him, but, instead, he promised to send a "cablegram'' twice a week to his wife. The fact was that he had a horror of the sea voyage, and had secretly resolved to gratify a homesick desire of re visiting alone—which he never would have been allowed to do under ordinary circum stances—the village in a northern New Eng land region where his childhood was spent. However, he engaged passage in a White Star steamer, and, after an affectionate farewell to l*>th his wife and children, -torted for Now Y'ork. He stayed in that city just long enough to make sure that his name was on the passenger list of the steam ship. and to arrange for a series of half-weekly "cablegrams” from Liverpool, London, Paris, Lucerne, etc., to his wife, and departed for the country. The trick was certainly a cruel one, but the man’s mental condition was so morbid a id perverted that I think he must be held partly excusable. Some admiration is also excited by the neatness with which the plan was carried out. Prayers were duly offered in an Episcopal church for “a person gone to seahis friends noted with satisfaction the quick arrival of the steamer in which he was supposed to have sailed, and the tele grams that his wife received every few days, announcing his continued improvement in health, were a great source ol satisfaction to her. In fact, however, her husband was rusticating under an assumed name at a little tavern in his native village. He bought a horse, rode about the country, re viving old recollections, and breathing in rent and strength from the pure mountain air. The denoument was, of course, the most difficult part of the affair. He had intended at first to keep up the delusion to the very end. and ostensibly return from the foreign tour laden with European presents, pur chased in New York. But as his nerves re covered their wonted tone, and his thoughts began to be less engrossed with himself, the instinct of honesty reasserted itself and he determined to make a full confession. He had kept informed by some means of the whereabouts and condition of his wife aDd children, and, accordingly, he was able to surprise them one flay last week by riding calmly' into the seaside village where they were staying, and dismounting, bronzed and healthy, in the bosom of his family. A good deal of explanation was necessary, and there was some shame on one side and some wounded feelings on the other; but, upon the principle that “all's well that ends well,” the affair was amicably settled. Swindling a Railroad Company. Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph. A deft and dapper swindler named La eour has recently played the Northern of France Railway Company a nice trick. He went into a station and had some luggage duly registered for a small place ou the lino where there was but little traffic. On ar riving there he left the station like other passengers, but did not take hjs luggage with him. After the lapse of a little time he returned to the station, took up his lug gage in quite an innocent manner, bought a ticket for a junction, and hail his baggage registered a second time. He thus had two luggage receipts, and on arriving at the junction he -lainied his property with 6ue, while the other showed, as he alleged, that the company had lost some of his effects. Strangely enough Izieour, by representing that his" lost property was most valuable, obtained nearly £.300 from the company. Elated with success, he tried to “bamboozle” the Lyons Company in the same manner, but was found out. The ingenious but too daring swindler was condemned to a year’s imprisonment, as well as to heavy fines and the restitution of the money fraudulently obtained. Proposed Reduction of the Surplus.
