Exposure of an Institution That Supplied "Doctorsn -with Sheepskins at Various Prices. Portsmouth, N. II., Sept. 20. A great sensation has been caused here by the discovery of another actively-maintained bogus college of medicine, similar in management and larger iu extent than the Druid College, of Maine, a full expose of which was made some years ago. This latest chartered Institution is the Trinity University of Medicine and Surgery, having nominal headquarters at Bennington, Vt. Its methods of business, briefly told, are these: Any person desiring to buy a diploma coverin g both medicine and surgery has, if possessing tLa necessary money, been given his choice of the following institutions, all of which exist merely on paper University of Cincinnati.

Adams, of Manchester, who is chairman of the Stafo Board of Censors, whilo pursuing official investigations in the State Department last November, discovered the incorporation of an institution about which ho immediately became suspicions. It was the Uniyeraity of New Hanipshiro, nominally -located at Nashua, and officered by Fred G. Wheaton, I'h. 1)., as president, and II. F. Bradbury, M. I., secretary. In the course of his investigation he discovered that these persons were connected with the "Trinity University of Bennington." though passing under other names, Bradbury also doing an active business in Lowell, under the name of Dr. Freeland. There it was learned a large correspondence "was received, showing that the vast amount of mail sent from and delivered at Bennington, Lowell, Nashna and Boston was but a part of the evidence of tho great systematic swindling that "was being done. Bradbury, it was learned. figured as "Dr. Kipley of No. 71 Cornhill, Boston," whero all correspondence appertaining to Trinity University was "forwarded. When Dr. Adams's agi-nts had completed their negotiations t with Ripley it was agTeed that a diploma of Trinity University should be delivered to them upon receipt of a handsome financial consideration. This was done, a newspaper man who was working on the case volunteering to pay for the sheepskin. Aa soon as it was evident that a criminal case had been made out, the matter was given in charge of the authorities, and it is probable that important developments will tako place within a day or two.

UNHAPPY BOI7LASGEK. Trying to Keep Up a Boia Front In the Kac of Defeat A Scheme lie Does Not Admire. London, sept. 29. Boulanger is not in as happy frame of mind as he would have the world believe. All last week ho endeavored to explain his defeat aud to persuade tho worldthathoisasbigaman as ho was a "week ago. The effort has not been very successful, because tho explanations havo been too frequent and varied. Tho only point upon which Boulanger seems to be positive is that electors were bribed by a government goia, ana oaiiot papers manipulated by ministerial myrmidons. The anti-Bonlangists have estimated the General's expenditure upon the recent elections as 2,000,000 francs, while Boulanger's partisans assert with confidence that 10,000,000 francs wero taken from tho service fund for purposes of electoral corruption. Boulanger does not seem to realize that, however it has been brought about, the fact remains ho has been badly beaten, so badly, in truth, that many of his timo-serving followers aro already deserting him. Bonlanger, himself, is becoming suspicious. Ho has not yet lost faith in A'aquet and Dillon, but Henri Kochefort is now a suspect. in his eyes, apparently for no better reason than that the redoubtable editor of tho Intransigent has not seen tit publicly to repudiate a movement, undoubtedly afoot in Paris, for obtaining Carnot's clemency for his outlawed self. Adversity, however, has, acted like a tonic upon one, at least, of Boulaugor's lientenants.. Monsieur Laur has become ciore aggressively Boulangist than ho was previous to hut Sunday, which is saying a good deal, and scouts tho suggestiontnat Boulanger is played out. "We shall go over to Portland Plac' he said to-day, "from time to time, to take counsel with our general, who will remain over there like a god on Olympus, ready to return when the hour sounds." But Boulanger's demeanor iust now is anvthing but Olympian, and he is especially worried by the entreaties of some peoplo who poso as his friends to do something noble and striking in order to prevent the dofeat becoming a rout at the second balloting. Preferably, they would like tho General to get to Paris in disguise, ride down the Bois de Boulogne at noon on his blaek charger, and be arrested gloriously in sight of all Paris. They admit the consequences would bo unpleasant for Boulanger personally, but it would greatly advance the cause. Boulanger thinks' otherwise, and for the present such glory must bo earned vicariously or not at all. A Paris dispatch says: "As tho result of his visit to tho Comto do Paris, at Sheen House, M. Herve has retired from the election contest in his district, in favor of the Boulangist candidate." A letter from Bou langer ispublished in Boulogne in which the General asks his supporters in that city to transfer their votes to the Conservative candidate. BANDITS IN MEXICO. An American Who Gave Them Cold Iad from Ills Wlnchet ter Instead of Money. City of Mexico, Sept. 29. Three bandits last Friday attacked a diligence in the Stato of Vera Cruz. Among its passengers were a number of Americans. Tho driver, at the command of the highwaymen, who wero backed by three revolvers, brought his horses to a stand-still. He was made to dismount, and in the usual style was made to stand at one side of the roadway, with his hands pointing heavenward. The passengers were then requested to 6tep out of the coach and fall m line with the driver. One of the Americans was tho first to obey the mandate. Ho, however, on dismounting, did not leave his Winchester behind, and had hardly touched mother earth when ho commenced to shoot cold lead into tho highwaymen with a skill that put them to llight. The day following this episode, and in tho same vicinity, the same bandits stopped the stage again. They succeeded in relieving the passengers, who wero all Mexicans, ot everything of value on their persons and left them doing duty in lino with their hands above theirheaas. Flushed with the success that had attended their exploit, the highwaymen had not gone far before they fell in with two. mule drivers, and at the muzzle of tho revolver proceeded to despoil them of everything that they had packed upon their animals. One of the mule drivers, not relishing the treatment, remonstrated. He was tied, thrown to the ground and his nose buried in the sand. His companion kept a discreet silence during tho disposition of his goods and was not molested. rniNcr. and pauper. Some leaves from the Career of a "Well-Born Spendthrift Who Died in a Poor-House. Berlin Letter. Prince Demetrius Ivanovitsch voil Chiwa died a few days ago in tho poor-house at Hamburg. Ho was once the petted son of a wealthy family, whoso ancestors were undisputed rulers of the province whencehe came. After receiving a military education ho founded a homo in Paris where, under the second empire, he played an enviable and important role. Tho Empress Eugenio was among the numerous admirers of tho handsome prince, who spent money as lavishly as the Emperor himself. But tho dissolute life which he began to lead soon robbed him of his fortune and reduced hira to beggary. At first he was particular as to the rank of those from whom he borrowed, and choso only men who wero his equals in birth. The lato King Ludwig, of Bavaria, was honoied oftener than any other ruler with "letters for loans," which invariably began: "Most serene and mighty cousin." Tho llatterv wa successful in opening the purso of the demented monarch during many years. But this source of income was at last cut off, and Prince von Chiwa was forced to borrow from his inferiors, giving as security tho expectation of a largo sum of money from the Emperor of Russia. Tho trutblcssness of such a statement was soon discovered, compelling tho nnfortnnate nobleman to resort to other means to secoro a livelihood. Ten vears aco he first nnneared in tho neighborhood of Hamburg. The long whito hair, the brilliant eyes, the military bearincr and the aristocratic features still enabled him to impose on the innocent mis tresses of boarding-houses. His impositions became so frequent, nnd his acquaintance . . i i i f ii. i ; . wuu mo ucuvor prison wans tso lruimaie, that ha was mado finally an inmate of the poor-house to escape further persecution. There he remained until his death. GENERAL, FOKEIGN NEWS. . Fatal Ilesnlt of Drinking Too Freely of Orer Proof Brandy. London, Sept 29. The cause of total abstinence has received an impetus in Yorkshire. On Friday a cast of overproof brandy, at Miles Platting station, of tho Lancashire & Yorkshire R&Uwcy

Company, was broken open by railroad laborers, who drank freely of the liquor. Nine of them were soon afterward discovered in a comatose condition, and were taken to a police station. One of them died on the way, from the effects of the drink. Another was in such a bad way that ho was taken to the infirmary, where the stomach pump was used, and later on was taken to the lock-up. The third man was found at another railway station, so ill that ho also had to be taken to tho infirmary, where, at a late hour last night, ho was said to be in a dangerous condition. Seven other men were removed to the Miles Platting police station, drunk, ill, and incapable, and not one of them was able to furnish his name or address. Exposition Prizes Distributed. Paris, Sept. 29. Tho exposition awards were distributed to-day at the Parlors de lTndnstrie. President Carnot thanked the governments and exhibitors f who had contributed to the Btfccess of tho exposition. He expressed the hope that the exposition would introduce an era of peace. Those who had visited it could hardly fail to have had their views broadened, and this enlightenment must havo an indirect effect upon the relations of nations. Premier Tirard spoke in a similar vein. Premier Tirard announced 03 grand prizes. 5.153 gold medals, 0,000 silver medals, 9.323 bronze medals ard 8,070 honorable mentions. Ex-Queen Natalie Ylsits Belgrade. Belgrade, Sept. 29.-iPx-Queen Natalie arrived hero to-day.

no official reception will be given Natalie, asserts that ex-King Milan has the sole rieht to regulate the relations between Natalie and her son. Hlfflans Surrender Their Captives. Madrid, Sept. 29.

A Young Man Makes a Bargain with a Russian "Chad-Chin" and Is Forced to Keep His Word. New York, Sept 29. A 6trange story was told at police headquarters to-night by two men about a young man, a friend of theirs, named David Kirchneroff, being forced into a marriage with a Russian girl against his will. While the two men wero looking for redress at headquarters, tho marriago ceremony was being performed. in tho Golden Star Hall, No. 93 Hester street. The father of the newly-made wife is a cloak-maker, and his name is Aaron son. Thinking, some time aeo, that his daughter Rose should get mariied, he paid 0100 to a 'chad-chin" to cet her a husband.

He went down Grand street towards the ferry, but was followed by Aaronson and the "chad-chin." who captured him on a Williamsburg ferry-boat, and brought him back. He was taken to a house in Christie street, and kept there till this afternoon, under a guard of six men.

PROBABILITIES IN THE NEW STATES. Uppermost Questions in the Campaign JustEnd ed How To-Morrow's Election May Result St. Paul, Sept 29. Day after to-morrow the voters of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Washington Territories will cast their votes for or against tho several constitutions prepared for their consideration by the various constitutional conventions, thereby announcing their birth as States in the American Union, and at the same timo tbey will choose tho officers whom they wish to govern them at home. and to represent them at tho national capital. The campaigns which have been waged during tho past few weeks in tho different Territories have been characterized by tho various expedients usual to American commonwealths, and have been hard aud well-fought battles for supremacy of party principles and candidates. In some instances, in eacn lemtory, tnere nas oeen something of the personal element in tho following of the diiierent candidates, out generally it has been party first and men afterward. In North Dakota, 'Farmer" Miller, the Republican candidate for Governor, has made a steady fight on the tariff as it affects the farmer, and has been well supported by H. C. Hansborogh, thecongres- : i i .-. i . 'ri. .iA biuuui vaiiuiuitio. Alio iiiumuiuuu uotion was largely separated from party politics, and there seems to be a feeling that it will not win, tho high-license sentiment seeming to be stronger than complete restriction. Democrats claim that the Republicans' majority will not exceed 5,000 and possibly not over 1,000, and that their candidates for Uovernor ana uongress may be elected. Republicans figure out a plural ity for themselves of 11,000. In South Dakota, the location of the capital has been tho principal issue, five cities . . a i i rr i 1 : struggling ior me uonor. a uo aepuuucaus are righting for prohibition, with the probability that it will be engrafted on tho State Constitution. The present Territorial Governor, A. C Mellette, will undoubtedly be the first Governor of feouth Dakota, whuo the United States Senatorships lie between Messrs. Moody, Pettingrew and Edgerton, tho first and fast of whom were chosen by the former "wanted-to-be" State Legislature in 18$5. There is no doubt about tho general result in the election, the only question being the size of the Republican majorities. Montana will be close, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. Washington will also be close, with the advantage on tho Republican side. It is undoubtedly tho case that in the mountain btato whatever losses tho Republicans may suffer will result from overcontidence on the part of tho national comnntteo, but Montana ltefmblicans are working hard and thoroughy at the close of the campaign. In Montana tho Republicans stand a good chance of electine the Legislature and their can didate for Congressman, but there is a possibility that J. K. Toole, Democrat, may havo a maioritv over T. C.

Preparations for Opening the Interna tional American Congress This Week. Assignment of Commanderies In the Templars' Parade Kellojr? Said to Have Been Forewarned About Secretary Tracy's Order. PENSION OFFICE IlETTJODS. Red-Tape Regulations Which Are Costly to the GoTcrnment and Worry Claimant. Fpecia.1 to th6 Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept. 29. The next Com missioner of Pensions will bo confrouted with a proposition to abrogate some of tho rules which havo been followed in the office for many years, and which are notoriously unjust, as well as foolish. The truth is tho Pension Office is a great machine which has had no head for many years. It would 6eem to those who have had much business be fore tho office that its extent was never comprehended by any of the Commission ers. Five or six huudred men and women Beem to be running desks independent of each other and to be conducting business on their own hook. Ono of tho customs which has been followed most tenaciously. and which has worked the greatest harm and loss of time, is that in connection with calls for additional testimony to make cases complete. It is almost impossible to have a case taken up in the Pension Office and this trouble has existed for ten years and secure its completion on the same basis that a case in court would bo finished. When a claim is made special it is put in tbe hands of an examiner and taken out of its regular order for immediate consideration. That examiner runs through tho testimony till he reaches a missing link, lit then puts the case back where it came from and im mediately writes a letter to the claimant. statins that it is found that certain testi mony is necessary in order to make .the cass complete. I he claimant, generally through an attorney, proceeds to secure tho desired testimony, and sends it on to tho Pension Office. This is jacketed and re ferred to the pigeon-hole where the original papers rest. Tho case then is in the same losition it was originally, except that it ias the additional testimony. Another order from tho Commissioner is necessrry in order to secure its consideration. That ia to say, the Commissioner must again order tho caso to be mado special a order that it may be taken up for consideration. When it is again taken up by tho clerk that pre sumptuous omciai continues to rcau mo testimony till he finds another missing link. He then repeats hia request to the claimant for additional testimony, and the caso goes back to the pigeon hole tho same as before. Again it is necessary to order tho case to bo made special, and it is probable that three or four limes xnis oruer oi procecuinv:' is ivncaieu, and a case that is made speciil and taken up for immediate consideration is often dolaved in this manner for years and years till the claimant is dead aud th heirs-at-law become of age.' If a case of this kind w.m. i . court, and the judge on the bench should Urect that a. bearing should bo given, the caso would be taken un and when testimony was found missing, in order that tho bearing could be completed, it would simply tand aside till the witnesses were pro l jcj, wnen it would proceed. It is noi so in tba Pension Office. Common sense di ts ti'it seem to prevail in many of the brr ct.hr there. Instead of the clerk la ;p N case when it is made special anu vLc hus to call for additional testimony. aiuk i.Aing it up and proceeding to its 'ir.'Jetion, he refers it bacV. to th p'geonhole. By this poc.ivs jine rases out of ten are civen verv itt 1 preference by simply being mado spiciaL If all of tbo testimony needed to makf a cise complete was stated in the first letter to the claimant, the greatest possible facility would le given the worK; out tnis iao.' seems never to have occurred to thoso in charge of the Pension Office. This custom will be abolished if the influence of men in Congress who have much business before the Pension Office can avail anything. It 13 proposed that the Secretary of the Interior and tho assistant secretary shall meet the r.ew Commissioner of Pensions, his deputy and some of his principal chiefs; that there 6hail bo a general understanding as to the procedures and general policies, aLdthat when the new Commissioner of Pensions shall take his office there shall not only be harmony, but a bnsinessdike idea of what is to be done in the office. INTKRNATIONAI, CONGRESS. All the Delegates but Two Now In Washing. ton Programme of Work Not Settled. EpccIaI to tlte Iuillanaoolla Journal Washington, Sept. 20. With one or twe exceptions all the delegates to tho International American Congress are now in the city. The congress will not formally open until Wednesday morning, and nothing ol a deliberative character will be done for the next six weeks. After meeting and organizing on Wednesday, the delegates will pav their respects to Secretary Blaine, and will then be presented by him to the President. In the evening it is expected that Mr. Blaine will tender tho congress a banquet, and tho next morning the delegates will start on their aix weeks' tour of observation throughout tho country. The delegates, as yet. do not know the exact form their deliberations will take, and the procedure will not be settled until tho congress meets. fc?enor F. O. Pierra, the secretary of the Spanish-American Commercial Union, who is not a delegate, but who has been invited by Mr. Blaine to accompany the congress and givo tho benefit of his experience to tho delegates, said to-night that it had not been finally settled whether the sittings 'of tbo congress should be public, or if tho members shoulA, be sworn to secrecy. "What subjects will be taken up and the order of their discussion is another matter which Sill not be settled until tho congress eets," added Mr. Pierra. "My opinion is that the United States delegates will not have a programme arranged, but each delegate will bo allowed to bring before tho congress such subjects as he may think proper. Any thing relating to economic matters can properly come beforo the confress, and only politics are barred.- While have no doubt each delegate m ill do his utmost to have the congress aUpt such measures as will be most beneficial to his own country, yet there is a sincere desire on the part of everybody to have the deliberations of the congress result in something practical. Whether it will be possible to ndopt a general customs onion and an interchangeable currency I do not know. Of course, whatever is the result of the deliberations of the congress, it will not bind the respective governments, but, naturally, the recommendations will' have great weight," KKIGirrS TKMPLARS CONCXAYE.
