GREAT SOCIAL SCANDAL

Sir Chas. Dilko Co-RcsponVtent in a Divorce Case.

(Fkom Our London Cokri.s'-!'Ond_.nt. )

London, August 13. It is imposeiblo to adequately deacribo tho disgust und dismay folt at the National Liberal Club and other head centres of tho Radical party on Tuesday evening last, when it became known that all offorts to burk tho much-whispored-about " social scandal " in connection with Sir Charles Dilko had' failed, and thut the right lion, gentlornan, Privy Councillor and ox-Cabinet Minister, would shortly have to _igu.o publicly as co-rospondont in a particularly uncroditablo and unsavoury divorce caso. For some days previously tho air of London had beon thick with rumours affecting " ono of tho most prominent loaders in English politics." At first, goesip pointed in tho diroction of Lord Hartington, ond a number of wondorful stories about his doings woro -absolutely formulated. Very soon, howevor, tho club flaneurs g*?t hold of a con versation that had teally taken place at tho smoking-room of tho Houso of Commons, in tho course of which Sir Churles Dilko oponly admitted a yory serious charge had boon brought against him by tho sister of his brother's widow, a young lady marriod to Mr Donald Crawford. He further stated thoro was not a word of truth in tho accusation, and that if tho worst came to tho worst, or in othor words the case went to tho Divorce Court, ho should iind no ditKculty whateverinestablishing his innocence. Ho hoped, how-over, Mr Craw ford would admit tho falßeneßß of Hie story without courting the Wttndul oi a public inquiry.

Sir Charlvs Dilko ia practically tho loador of tiro c-Uroino Liberals or Radicals, In tho last Cabinet ho actod as President of the Local Government Board, and his political intluenco with the party has hithorto stood second only to that of Mr Gladstone. In rip poaranceheißdecidedlyrfis.(H9«e,and though looking to tho full his 42 yoiire, quite what women would call "a lino man. In 1872 Sir Charles marriod Miss Katherino Shielj a beautiful girl to whom ho was dovotcdly attachod, but eho died in 187-1- in childbirth, leaving an only son, now li years old. The death of Lady Dilko attracted considerable attention at the time, owing to Ivor boing cremated by Sir Charles's ".no'cial roquost at Dresden.

The pet.ittc.ior in "Crawford vorsus Crawford nnd Dilke " is Mr Donald Craw ford, an olderly barristor, who for somo timo waa Lord Youhg's secretary, and his wife, tho reopondont, is a girl of 20, the sister of Mrs Ashton Dilko, widow of Sir Charles's brothor, tho lato mombor for Nowcastlo on- Tyno. Tho " pleadings " (or whatever tnoy aro called) are said to set forth eouio very shocking allegations.

Sir Charles Dilko has written to his con stituents offering to retire from public life till his private character has been fully cleared.

Twelve months ago a scandal of this sort would not havo mattered much ; now it will almost certainly ruin the chances of the Liberals at tho coming general elections. Working mon aro hopoles'.ly indiscriminat ing. Thoy confuse their ideas much as they mix their liquors, Just at present, tho " Pull Mall Gazette" agitators haVo man aged to haminor into the popular mind that many rich mon and Influential politicians aro guilty of hideous crimos against the children of the poor. Well, " Crawford v. Dilke" will appear directly corroborati- c of such stories. "A fellow as wo'-'ld soiiuco a young girl who is n relation's Wife would do t'other thing toov" Bill Smith will soy.

Ono of tho worst features of "this now apocalypse of evil," as Mr Llewellyn Davics calls tho " Pall Mull Gazette's" agitation, has been tho reckless audacity with which tho vilest accusation- have been hurled broadcast at eminent porsons unnemcd, but oasily Identifiable, The Criminal F^w Amendment Bill has passed iv « most extravagant form, and, in consequonce, it is tho unbiassed opinion of a most famous criminal lawyer that " such a season of blackmailing will shortly sot in aa haa never before beon known in .Eng land."

.lust think, a girl undor 10 has only to convince any numskull of a J.P. by. __•_■• wis uplotted Kurd that a man has solicited her (i.e., mistaken her for <. prostitut >), and that man will cortninly bo eont to gaol for two yours.

What tha Legislature seems to havo entirely overlooked in framing this bill is that with a cortain class of crime .—such, for instnnco, ns criminally a.- -iiilting a child —the question of innoconcc ■ r guilt become., subsidiary. It is tho accusation that ruins. Onco aetociato a man publicly with such a crimo, nnd though ho may bo pure as tin driven snow, ho will never recover it. Kino men out of ten would, and will, pay any sum rathor than faco tho horrors of a public accusation. Atlantic dospatchoi relating to this caso state:—Sir Charles Dilko has written a lottcr to his constituents denying tho truth of tho accusation brought against him,asking thoir forboar.mco until tho trial divorce case, which ho says ho awaits with confidence Whon Sir Charles Dilko through Lord Granville passed his chcqtios to Donald Crawford, tho nggrioved husband, it was supposed that tho scandal was hushed, And so it would havo been it it had not beon for politics. Tho action of Crawford in returning tho cheque after many days of deliberation is now known to havo boon largely prompted by Iho taunts and urgumonts of the Tory onemics of Sir Charles, and it is oven whispered that thoy havo guaranteed that Crawford ahull nut toso pecuniarily by his rejection of tho enor mous bribo. Tho scandal is of course a won derfully cll'octive woapon to use against tho Radical lender. Coining just at a timo when tho public mind was hot with anger ovor tho exposures of tho patricians' vices, and whon tho Radicals were using this vory arguniont to advocate thoir levelling schonios against tho aristocracy, it was a godsond to tho Tories to find this high priest of radicalism convicted of a flagrant liaison, in which all tho partios concerned were of his own political faith. On August 10th Sir Charles Dilke ap peared as a speaker in the Houso of Com mons for tho first time since the explosion of the scandal in which he was invol/ed. His speech consisted of only a few words, and was of no interest or importance. It did not devolve, upon him to speak at all upon any eubject, and ho obviously took oc casion to do so moroly to show that ho re mained at his post and was not ashamed to to be seen or heard. Despite the scandal, his appearance was the signal for a round of cheers from the Whigs and Radicals, which were answered by ironical ories of "Hear! hoar!" from tho Tories. Considering tho small number of membors present, it wbb quite a respectable triumph while it lasted. The Liboials wore largely in tho majority, and their choors gradually drowned tho voices of tho Tories. Tho in cident was somewhat significant as showing that tho Liberals aro dotormind to stand by Sir Charles and to condono his privato vices while he is under firo from the common enemy.

Ho was met at tho dopot by the Salvation Lifo Guards and a largo number of Salva tionists belonging to tho town. A hostilo crowd had assembled, and tho General was hooted, at and sovoral attempts wore made to roach his carriage The police had groat difficulty in preventing tho mob from injur ing Booth, and near 'tho army barracks a stick was thrown which struck him. _ The reason for the attack wan tbo belief in his having abducted tho gill Armstrong to mako false evidence from it. London, August 21.—A mooting of tho National Conference for the Protection of Young Girls was held in St. James's Hall today, (loorgo William Erekine Rusaell, Radical member of Parliament for Ayles bury, presiding. Tlio conference resolved to form vigilanco societies everywhere throughout tlio country to enforco tho existing laws against immorality, and to labour for the improvement of all legislation designed to repress criminal vico. Tho Traffic in White Slaves Not Confined to London. New York, August 23.—A oablo special from London of August 22 says : - Tho re mits of the " I'all Mall Gazette's " agitation are visible all over Great Britain and the Continent.. Tho reports of outrages upon females in Franco, Germany, and Italy have so increased that tho French Government has instructed its polico to excrciso addi tional stringency toward licenced homes. In Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hamburg, and other ports houscsof tl.ischaraoter htivobeen visited by the polico, end all their female inmates have been ordered out, unless cot ti lled to be IS yours old or ovor The Italian p.ipors report that tho Government officials in Naples, Rome, Florence, and Trieste aro now enforcing the law, which haa bc_n allowed to fall into disueo, against " frco house*." In Romo society has been scanda-• ised by tho discovery that an ex ollicer of the Government is a principal in tho organ ised trallic ingirlsfrom the interior provinces in Italy. Ho had officers in Romo, Naples, and Spoloto, whence, aa alleged, ho fur nished to America girls recruited in theso provinces. Intermediaries in Now York paid, as is charged, for each girl 1,000 to 2,000 francs. Ten arrests of his agents havo been made in Koine sinco Monday.

Report* via tho English consultito nt Jassy, on tho whito slave trado botweon Koumnnin and other parts of Europo, state that girls gathered together at .lassy are chiefly sent to Pnisfia, Austria, and Russia. Tho loading traders' depot is at Odessa, German girls, gathered at tho Prussian frontier, aro exported to Riga or Wilna, where Russian merchants havo tho first opportunity of soloction for St. Potereburg and Moscow. Tho noxt host paying station is Nijni Novgorod, whoneo tho girls tiro dis tributed between Southern Russia and Fil-crin. Tho " full Mall <.uzetto " says of tho trado from Buenos Ayres : A Hebrew, who deals in theso whito slaves, recently mado his appearance in London. Ho secured many young girls, finding plenty for sale in interior English towns.

Tho Gospol Purity Association persists in its atiacks upon membors of Parliament and others supposed to bo implicated in tho " Gazette's " rovolations. As a rule, these gentlemen abstain from any notico of the attacks, but Cavendish Bentinck, inoinbor for White Hnvon, whom popular rumour wrongly identified ns tho "Gazette's" "Minotaur," writes to the papers that the ngonls of tho Purity Association refuse either to substantiate their allegations or withdraw their outrageous expressions against him and others. Thorc is great curiosity as to who is tho author of cortain cynical letters published over tho signature " A Saunterer in the Labyrinth." It is generally boliovod that Labouchcro, who certainly has had a very extensiuo oxporionco in this particular labyrinth, wroto thorn. .The notorious Mrs Jeffreys, whoso arrest and cxposuros, and whoso books of account precipitated all this agitation, has found now bail of £400, a substitute for the friond who wont on her bond, but rocontly diod, having beon socurod.

THE FLOOD IN CHINA.

Thousands of Lives Lost and Thousands Starving [to Death. Dotnilo of tho great destruction, caused in Canton, China, and its vicinity, by the re cent groat rainßtorm thoro, havo been re ceived. Tho flood lias been tho most serious which has visited Canton in thirty yoars. Moro than ton thousand persons lost their lives, and a far greater nuinbor are left in a starving condition. Entiro villages wore engulfed, and rico and silk crops in that vicinity were almost ruined. The price has beon raised 18 pci cent, in consequence of the loss of the crop. Tho rain fell in tho latter part of Juno, filling and overflowing many rivers. Tho Btrcots of Canton wero flooded for over a wcok, At Sezni tho water broko^throtigli tho city wall, and it is reported that soveral tho us and people were drownod in that placo. Tho embankment.'- of tho river woro broken in numerous places and tho wator swept acrosH tho Biirrounding country, carrying overy thing before it. A foroignor, who was an eyewitness of the scones ot devastation, reports that ono night tho boat he occu pied was anchored near a bamboo grove and by morning tho water had risen to the tops of the bamboos. At other points it roeo ns high as forty feet during the night timo. Tho inhabitants lied from the villages and camped on the hill sides. At Run, in a market placo situated near an embankment on one of tho streams connected with tho river which brings water from tho North and West rivers, a majority of tho inhabitants wero drownod by the water breaking through the embank ment. Some escaped to a pieco of lising ground in tho neighbourhood, but the water continued to riso, and gradually overtopped tho elevation, drowning those who stopped upon it. Seventeon Chinese graduates in Canton, hearing of tho distress and sufl'or ing prevalent in their native villages, took passage on the boat, with tho view of proceeding homo to render what assist ance thoy could, but on the way tho boat was capsized and all woro drowned In eoino places parents tied their children on high branches of trees, while thoy instituted measures for their genarnl safety. The trees wero washed up by the roots, and the heart-rending erica of the children were silenced by the surging water. The Body of a Bride, dressed in her bridal robes, was found float ing in the river at Canton. A large tub was also seen. It was picked up and found to contain a boy and girl, and with thorn was found a paper stating thoir names and tho day and hour of their birth. Their parents

had instituted thio neons to save the lives cf thoir offspring. The writer adds that tho suffering which thousands aro enduring is heartrending parents ro plying with tears in their eyes to their children's request for food that thoy have none. Tho people are obliged to use the filthiest water, and this, added to the diseases which wil) ensue upon the subsid ence of tho water, will greatly aggravate tho horrors of tho situation. Meantime all that is being dono by tho inhabitants to abate their misery is the beating of gongs, the burning of incense and tho howling of prayers to idol«.

MR PARNELL'S PROGRAMME.

Dublin-, August 25.— ThePamell.teman> others hold a secrot meeting hero to-dny to select candidates for the coming campaign, and to d^ciiei- tho further policy of tho Homo Rule party. Mr Parnell himself pre sided over the meeting, and it wan resolved t'i adviso i-U fiome ?.;-ulo constituencies to Select ho .candidates without first consult ing with Vai-noll, and to vote for none who would not give pledgoa to act with the party as a unit in i'nrliaiDont. It was also resolved that the candidates should each sign a pledge to voto and act with the Par nollitos and to regain it tho majority of their colleagues so rl'dered. Addressing a public meeting, Parnell said that the triumph of tho Irish cauie was assured, whether tbo Whigs Or Tories won the elec tion!). Tho Tories would givo no good a schomo of self government as tlio Whigs. 11 Lot thetrishfarmers," hosaid, "support tho Louguo and prove that they will not allow the landlords to trample upon them during tho ensuing winter." Mr Parnell said that it had been the tongue's policy to support evicted tenants to tho utmost, whore it was shown that they woro dototlnined to suffer for principlo. and thereby oncourage tho tenantry generally. Ho was glad to efty that the policy had succeeded. Many eviclcd families had been restored to their holdings, their arrears cancelled, and a reduction of 15 to 20 per cont in rents obtained. The indirect results wore oven creator. Landlords feared to ovict unjustly, and hundreds and thousands of families thereby escaped eviction. It was tho duty of tenants to subscribe frooly for tho support of those evicted. "If wo uso judgment and moderation," ho continued, "wo shall sco tho two .English parties competing to fcltlo the Irish ques tion. Thero is something solemn and daz zling in tho thought that wo belong to a generation about to witness the finish of a struggle lasting "00 years, opposed by such tremendous obstacles and odd*. (Cheers.) Only tho Irish can defeat thomsclves. Tho English Parliament cannot defeat na, (Cheer. ) We have met and beaten the worst that England can do." Davitt has written a letter, in which ho saysthatwhilosupportingtheParnellit-8, he will maintain his agitation of the question of tho proprietorship oi land. Dnvitt ad mits Hint tho Irish parliamentary party has dono and i.i doing'a good work, but ho looks upon their efforts as subsidiary to tho main quos-tioji, which in tho redemptien of Ireland's soil. He bolic-.cs tho question of the owtiorehip of land is the mo.t; vital question now hoforo tho people, not only of Ireland but of England and the world.

THE ST. LOUIS MURDER

MAXWELL'S INGENIOUS DEFENCE.

He says tho Coi-pso was not Proller.

Tin: arrival of the prisoner W. If. Lennox- Maxwell from Auckland, ill custody of the detectives, has been the signal for an outbreak of newspaper sensationalism. The San Fran cisco Chronicle of (late just prior to the depar ture of the -Zoaliindla.' viewing these stories. (iiivs.—"Tho Preller ease is full of all kinds of surprises. The theorists who have neon kept b.isv ever since Maxwell's return In devising plans for his defence have once more returned to Ihe conspiracy theory, and now assert that Preller is not only alive but has been seen by several people »ince tin- trunk dlscoSoi'j at Ihu Southern Hotel. These reports sadly lack con tinuation, and the letter given as a sample of those which Maxwell receives bears evidence of having been manufactured by the imaginative prisoner himself. The case is so strong against Maxwell that he will have to do more than invent plausible theories if he expects lo gel his neck mil of Ihe noose which is wailing to receive it. One of the most amusing thing., in coiinee .ioli wiih the caso Is tlie conduct of one of tlio St. 1...0 i* newspapers. It evidently regards the return of Maxwell as an event of supremo importance lost. Louis. It issued an extra on Ihe Sunday morning on which the criminal arrived there, illustrated with cuts of the steamer which brought him over Ihe ocean, of the steamer's captain, of the petty olliecrs of the court in Auckland, and of Ihe interior of the courtroom where the legal proceedings look place. Altogether it was very funny as a speci men of illustrated |tnminlWm of the order which John l'lio'iiix ridi'ri.lrd so cleverly years ago in tin- 'Squibob Papers' with tlio aid of the advertising cuts of a country newspaper. This survival of what was regarded us journalistic enterprise a generation ago seems very si range and could never exist in so cosmopolitan acily AHRIVAI. 1-HO.M AUCKLAND. Iv noting .Maxwell's arrival from Auckland Ihe San Eraueisco Call slates that ti crowd of visitors were admitted to the "new prison" at Ihe Cenlral Station, San Francisco, lolook upon tl.o.ontlir, sofa mail accused of innrdcr. Dtlrihg the day Maxwell slated .hat while in the pri on in New Zealand newspaper men were not al lowed to see him. bnl that here he was inter viewed from ll.e lime of his arrival until 2 o'clock in the morning. "This," said he to a reporter, " is more than I expected." •■Thai's nothing." said the reportev" wait, till the St. Louis reporters __r\ hold of you; there will not be enough left of you to place on trial." The prisoner groaned when he heard this, and simply exclaimed. "Ureal Hod !" 1-KltjON I'KSTS AT AUCKLAND. While commenting upon the character of his quarters til the City Prison he alluded to his un pleasant surroundings it. Auckland—lleus, dirt and vermin, wiih eight ounces of bread and a pint of lea for breakfast, and boiled beef or mutton for dinner. Then prisoners were not allow.-. to have newspapers or tobacco. Efforts to worm some sort of an admission front him proved unavailing,, his response being: "My dear s.iire, you will pardon me. I cannot talk about ze case. See Mr. Cloony." .Maxwell has neither the appearance nor the demeanor of the murderer he is represented to be. Indeed, his deportment is that of a man who feels thill his position is perfectly secure. That his mind has not been extensively racked with remorse is evidenced by the fact that he has gained about v dozen pounds in weight since his arrest in New Zealand. The circumstantial evidence has an ugly appearance, but. when the lime, arrives and Ihe SI. Louis ollioit.ls think they have him cornered, he may perhaps adduce satisfactory proof that Preller is not dead. So far the St. Louis officials have been unable to produce satisfactory- assurances Unit the hotly found in the Southern 11010 l was that of Preller. It is a possibility that Maxwell, Preller and his father have been playing n bold game, intent on securing Ihe insurance on Preller's life, an nting lo HHI.I!i".I dollars. Soon ai'lerthe reported death of that individual, his father es sayed to collect the insurance money, asserting that it would enable him to Mm down and pro secute the murderer, hut he failed to secure the cash, the insurance officials declaring that there was no satisfactory proof of Preller's death, STRONG CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. Ctiptain Lees confidently declares that the case is one of the plainest ho ever lieard of. The fact that Maxwell had. when arrested, much of Prel ler's property, even Ihe shirt, bloodstained nnd lipped up tit the sides to secure ils removal from Preller's body, was pretty conclusive evidence. The prosecution would present, ibis as a substan tial fact, and it would be Maxwell's business to prove how it came into his possession. The Captain thought Ihe strongest, feature about the case was the fact that, after gelling away Willi bis victim, and packing his body in a trunk, Maxwell foolishly ran away, leaving it in the very room he had occupied. Ho must have cither lost his nerve al the last moment or been an idiot. Cine would have supposed that he would have purchased a ticket for the East, checked the trunk through, deslroyod his ticket, and then departed for the West, after having removed the evidence of his crime from the place . here it was committed. While Captain Lees is of the opinion that there is a clear case against Ihe prisoner, there are others who arc of the opinion that the St. Louis authorities will be unable [to lix tho crime on Maxwell. These people claim that it is impos sible for I lie St. Louis people to prove beyond question that Preller is dead, or that the body found in the trunk in the Southern Hotel was that of Preller. maxwell's defence. In an interview with a representative of the Philadelphia Press. Maxwell said :—" Here is the gist .of the St. Louis mystery, which has puzzled-the country for over four months: Preller and I were old friends. Wo came to Boston from Liverpool in Iho steamer Ccpha louia. We, wero constant, companions, mid made arrangements to meet nt St. Louis at, tlie Southern Hotel, there lo carry out the scheme which Preller had devised for getting an in surance on nis life. We met according to the agree. nenl. We wero in room 114 in the hotel for about all tho time we spent there. But, mind yon, Preller was at Ihe hotol only threo days. He remained in seclusion for the re mainder of tho mystery at the Southern Hotel. He loft St. Louis alive and well the same day as I started West. That wasn't Preller's body found in the trunk at the hotel. When the ease comes up for trial 1 shall have proof of where the body "found in the trunk was procured, whom it was bought of, at what hour if was brought to the hotel, and all the details of Iho plot. I can tell you how Ihe corpse was brought lo the hotel in a trunk in broad daylight, Every thing was arranged to give colour to the theory of sudden murder and hasty flight. My design was to let Preller out of Ihe country before the body was discovered, and once in Australia, thought it would be easy to bury my identity in the East Indies until things had been forgotten. Whore l'reller now is, or what arrangements I have made for communicating with him, of course, is out of Iho question for me to toll. You can rest assured on the accuracy of the facts! have given you. They will be proven on trial." THE IXSUHANCE STORY DECLARED A I'REI'OS TEKOUS LIE. St. Louis. August 13.—Maxwell's ultimate conviction is assured, with Ihe new evidence obtained in Auckland and the informal ion in possession of the Circuit Attorney-. Tlie evi dence as to the identity of the remains as those of Preller is said to be complete. Fun hennoro ihe body is still under the control of tho prose cuting officer, and he may use It in the trial, it having been . mhnlincd. Sclcssingcr of New l ork, cousin ol l'reller, will he here to identify the remains. It is more than possible that Alfred Preller. brother of tho deceased, will come from London for that purpose. New York. August il.—The World snys:- Frani- Sclessingcr, Preller's cousin, of 478 Broomo-street, said, when be bad road eho Phil adelphia Press special sent from San Francisco, "It is a. preposterous lie. Preller was insured for only _81.000 sterling in the London Life Insu rance Company, and that money has been laid to his relatives. It is hardly likely that that

sum would havo been paid had not the company received proofs that the dead man was really Preller The body was seen by intimate friends and fully identified.

A complete autopsy.of the bod. made in- Dr. Lubdekin, showed congestion rtf (he brain and n condition of th" larynx which indicated strangulation. The theory ol thy p o sooutiou is that l'reller, being a man of line plivsique. strong and soimrl in limb, and healthy ' n 'all his organs, resisted th- efforts of the chlo roform in such an extent that Mnxwr 1 was compelled to choke him lo death, and that he I nreb'ihlv did the clinking aflc lie had placed _ his Victim in the trunk.

Maxwell saw t he folly of striding his victim in thnt way. and when he got twoounccs mon- at 3 p.m. he used it merely to weaken l'reller to a point where he could make short work of him by strangulation. M VSTKIUOI'S LBTTKBS. SI Louis, Aug. 24.—T0-dny's developments in connection with Ihe Southern Hole mystery have led ninnvlo rcassott that l'reller is not dead, and Hint the body found in Ihe trunk was that of snme man as yet unknown. Maxwell has received several letters, 1 rem cranks and | other.-. One letter, signed Louis Ilaubgny, is from New Orleans. The writer calls the pri soner D'Augier, refers to an interview had with him at Ihe Southern Hotel, and then proceeds I ik loilm. . :- , "Yuul1 stubbornness will cause you a good ; deal of trouble before yoil can get out ol it. 1 he only thing that remains for you lo do at present is til tell the truth to your attorney and lo prove I,'v M r that you procured the body and that Mr l'reller is alive, or at least that he was alive at the time your subject was discovered In join trunk, 11.-ivf. in-rested at once the limn who procured the body, for it Is possible Hint he may disappear al i lie lime you need him as a witness, i cannot help believing thai Mr I'l-cllel- .has not been murdered, and 1 believe that Harriet S cr, in- ml-li-ov. of Boston, knows iiioi'e in regard io him than the police of St. Loins.

IS Pn._LL-._- ALIVE?

St Louis, Auk. 28.—A remarkable Idler post marked Wilkesbarre, Pcnn., was received to day by Maxwell. It was taken In chat-ire b. the an'h.i'i'ities. It purports to be from l'rel er, and the hamlwritinK and sli?nuttirc are almost a counterfeit of the sample!; whirl, the o he.a Is have and which wero found in Preller s n:yiaiy : . l'reller announces in the letter that he will arrive in time for the trial nlld ridicules the St. Louis police. „_. „ _ , .j. Philadelphia, Aug. 28.—1 i. G. I odecrs. he mail who allirms lie saw Preller alive last May, adheres to his statement. HesilVs (h.-it he jyi 11 o-oloSt. Louis ami swear that the man c.illi fiimrcif Arihllr ('. Pfcller. whom he met at the 1.-ontinenUil Hotel, lii't lll'rch, mid the man who donied that his name was Prellei' ;P Sitnsome Street, in ..lav, are one and the same person. A well-known St. Louis drummer says that a fow (lnv.o afor the body was found in the Southern Hotel, a young man answering the do. o,option of l'reller appeared at IMstoll. Slo., organized a singing class, remained » month, nnd then left wilho.it collecting his tuition fees, before he left ho gave aping lint to n colored mah. The hat bore the initials "t. A. P- in side the swcal-clblh, .'rolle" v.-ie- soniHhi.ig of a musician and vocalist. It is believed by many that Ihe reason Maxwell has exhibited such coolness is that, he knows that at the right time he can prove that Preller is alive, and that he cannot bo tried for murdering another man. but Preller. Between the United States and British Governments there is an Extradition treaty containing a clause to the effect that persons extradited can only be tried for the offence named in the warrant. This elnuse was in serted to prevent either Government from extraditing offenders for criminal offences, and then Irving them for political crimes. If Preller can be produced at the trial Maxwell can immediately claim his discharge, lhen, ill order to trvhi.ii for another offence, it would lie necessary for the SI. Louis authorities to make another trip to Now Zealand, lile new .evidence and get. leave to begin the prosecution. STATI.MI.NT Ol' MAXWELL'S FELLOW-STUDENT-

New York, Aug. '.'5. — A lforld's Bbstoil special of the 24tb says : Dr. Dewey, who was a fellow-student with .Maxwell, the alleged tot. Louis murderer, at College in London, said to a correspondent to-day that when Maxwell was In Boston ho wauled Dower to get a corpse for him. Maxwell did not say What he wished to do wiih tho corpse, but Dewey, knowing he was mi enthusiast in meuicinc, thought he wanted it for dissection. Maxwell left the city for a few weeks mid on his return he told Dewey he had a body. When Maxwell made Ihe statement to (St. Louis olliecrs thutlhe body .vas not Prellers, hut a eorpsc he had secured to assist in de frauding the insurance companies, Dewey was nbout to inform the companies of his doings, wln-n li" rra'l the alleged confession ot Max well thai Ihe body was really that of Preller. Three iltivs after his return to Boston. Maxwell started for the West, Preller having left several days before him. Kver since Dewey has been acijuaintud with Maxwell, he believed bis mind wa* affected, and he always passed as Maxwell and claimed he was tho illegitimate son of Lord l-'ariilmni of England. IDENTIFICATION OK MAXWELL AS BUOOKS. Among othor statements which have received euri-enev is one thai Maxwell's lval name is Brooks.' This, however, he denies. The follow ing cable despatch on the subject, dated Lon don, August K-iid, appears in the "New York World":—" Your correspondent to-day paid a visit lo Manchester and found great excitement in the cit y and suburbs on ll.e publication in ils papers of toe account of the identification of Maxwell with Books of Hyde, n beautiful suburb of Manchester. 1 visited Hyde, which is a straggling Cheshire, town just across Ihe Lancashire border, bavingu population of about ;.O,OUO. llydciles.ua picturesque valley in the midst of verdure-chid hills, ils people mainly devoted to prosaic cotton spinning, weaving, and making hats. 1 found the population all agog with the news of Ihe day before, Unit tho son of their well-known townsman, Mr Brooks, was identical with Maxwell, the man accused of Iho horrible at. Louis murder. When I an nounced my errand, 1 became an object of in lerest. ' Yes, we till know 'Master Brooks,' said (hostation-master. 'It is thirty years or more since the nice old gentleman accepted the post of schoolmaster at tit. George's National Schools here, and many is the pupil he has had who now lives hereabouts and in big Manchester, and is doing well.' GIVEN A HOOD EDUCATION, 'Yrs, I remember Hugh Brooks. He is the eldest son. There is a younger brother mid un married sister. Only 10 think that Hugh should have Ihe nerve to pack tat: dead body of his friend in a trunk and steal his money ! 1 hardly believed It when 1 read the story in tho Man chester "Examiner" Ibis morning. The father looked after Hugh's schooling when he was a boy, and then sent him lot ho Manchester Gram mar School, lie received the finest education. No expense was spared to promote his welfare. After leaving school Hugh was articled to Browne & Ashwurlh, solicitors, at Stockpo' t-pn thc-Mcrsey, not far from here. When he be came a solicitor himself, a year and a half ago Hugh opened an office here wiih a younger brother as clerk, but did not seem to take to the routine of the law,' HUGH AND THE FESTIVE CUKATE. 1 then visited tho police ofilce. "Do you know Brooks.'" was asked of the Chief of Police. "Know him _ Yes: but I always though! him useless. He practised here on two or three oc casions." " I lid you know his curate friend.'" " Yes : Valentine Evans is his name, lie was at St. Thomas' Church. He came from a theo logical college ill the south of Wales. He used to go tricycling lo Manchester with the hunt. I think thoy tlrnnk and visited questionable places." " Was Evans a lluent preacher?' "Yes—of other men's sermons. Ife disappeared after Hugh left without saying good-by. I tun church warden at St. Thoiuus' and was a good friend to him. He made tilings so warm with his habits that he could not. stay. He had no influence here whatever. Hugh's guv habits cot him over head and ears in debt. His poor father spent £100 in paying his debts. Hugh was fond of dabbling in photography, medicine, and magic lanterns, and gave entertainments." 1 next saw Dr. Sidbotham, who said, "I did not know Hui*h intimately, but knew his father well. Last winter Hugh came to borrow a pair of stereoptician lanterns, valued nt £10, and said his lantern was damaged, and he was going lo a Sunday-school entertainment, I next heard that Hugh bad gone away.' I interviewed many neighhours nnd tiadcstucn who have known Hugh since he was a child. All say he was carefully brought up, look part in Sunday-school work, and they never noticed anything wrong about him in Hyde ; but he went to Manchester very often. He was frajuenlly seen at church. He was engaged to Mary Whiltakcr. a very pretty Sunday-school teacher, the daughter of a cotton spinner living in Hyde-lane. WHAT HIS FAMILY SAY. An interview was then sought with Elder Brooks, who owns a block of small housi s in Chupel-stiecl, in one of which ho lived, but. he was absent from Hyde. Hugh's young sister opened fhe door, followed by Mrs. Brooks, who was nenlly dressed in Mack silk. She was cour teous but lirni in he- r fusalto give information. She said, however, "Heme, her, I do not believe Ihe man Maxwell is our son." She cut off fur ther discussion by closing the door, and she could not be persuaded lo return. She looked very much broken. Itcturning down the street, I learned from several people that a copy of the Washington Police A'cit-s, wiih a portrait of Maxwell, has been everywhere shown and always recognised as lhat of Hugh, and they are certain he and Maxwell are one and the same man. They also asserted that telegrams have been passing between Brooks's family and the St. Louis police. THE TRAITS Of A IIOKN AUVENTfREIi. The ofllcials at the, Denton Hallway station were next seen. One official raid lie knew Hugh well, and remembered his leaving there by train ono afternoon in January last. He had n tri cycle and several boxes. Hugh told him a Welsh client had given him ehargo of his case to be tried in Dublin and he was going to Liver pool. He had not seen him since. A solicitor, who refused to allow his hainc to be used, said Hugh was a born adventurer and too restless for steady work. He also said that if -Morrison bad identified the pseudo Maxwell as Hugh Brooks there could he no dcubt of his identity. Tho solicitor added that doubtless more witnesses will go from here to identify him. He thought Brooks would confess his identity. A TALK WITH I'KELI.EIi'S FATHER. The correspondent -again called on Mr Preller at the Warehouse in Wood-street, Cheapside, this morning, handing him a copy of Ihe Daily News containing a dispatch from St. Louis which stated that Maxwell or Brooks stated that he had chloroformed his travelling com panion. " It. is said your unfortunate son and Brooks were acquainted," said the reporter. "That is a mistake." was Ihe reply. "Inm sure they met first on the stcamerorin Amoriea. Taylor, who identified my son's remains in St. Loui.- and who returns for the trial, is of (he same opinion. Taylor was here this forenoon, but has left town. I have boon certain that Maxwell was Brooks for months past, but kept quiet, first in tlie interests of justice and second bceatrc there we.o threats of defamation sails from Brooks'relations. You sec the disappear aiioe of Brooks and the description of Maxwell, largely copied in English papers, led to the pro bable identification which, started the inquiry." Mr Preller, sen., wears an nnxioii3 and troubled look, more pronounced than when tho corres pondent visited him first, many weeks ago.

Kaikoura, and ship Braemar, of the first portion of their ' NEW SPRING AND SUMMER STOCK personally selected, as we have previously intimated, by our Mr. Caughey during the prolonged depressien existing in the British and Continental Manufacturing Districts. Mr. Caughey draws special attention to the fact that (besides securing at the end of the season some wonderful bargains in job lines in Novelties and Plain Goods in various Departments, some of which are now on sale, with others to open in a few days) his visit Home has resulted in our being placed in a position to purchase in most cases direct from the leading manufacturers on the same terms as the most extensive colonial importer. One important result of this will be that our Customers may now expect to SAVE AT LEAST THE WAREHOUSE PROFIT, while we are enabled to sell FOE CASH AT BONA FIDE WHOLESALE PRICES. We confidently assert that when the public compare the New Goods and present prices with those hitherto paid to ourselves and elsewhere, they will find the above statement fully borne out. The Goods already to hand comprise a choice variety of Novelties in all Departments. DRESS DEPARTMENT. ~„,,., _-~ «■ .

Our well-known values in Black French Cashmeres and Merinos have been far excelled by the New Goods to hand from a leading French Manufacturer of Black Goods, and arc dyed a special shade of Blue-Black with the best mdigo dye, which gives them a rich bloom and permanent colour. One line of Black French Merinos, 44 inches wide, at 2s. 6d. per yard, will be pronounced surprising value. MILLINERY.
