Here is how it occurred: I was out with a detach ment of four soldiers and a native. About noon we entered the plaza of San Jose. I observed a man leaving the convent of the village church and crossing a field toward a line of bam boo which fringed the edge of the stream. At the thicket he was met by ft servant with a horse, which he mounted and made off in the direction ol the Culnbasa road. I sent two of my men to head him off. "He led the chase for about a mile, I In direct pursuit. My pony got tan gled up in the branches and I was near ly out of the race. But an accident had also happened to the pursued. His horse had slipped and thrown him, breaking his arm and severely sprain ing his ankle. He tried to conceal him self under the bank of the stream, but was discovered by Private Wheeler. Arriving myself a few momenta later, he surrendered to me, telling me who he was. His splendid gray pony es caped." Toung Johnston is a native of Illi nois and a graduate of the staie univer sity.

George Slalne, Hungarian banker and Slav interpreter of the criminal court of Westmoreland county, J'enu sylvantn, has fully enrned the title of "judge, without eveT having held a commission as notary, aldcrmnn or squire. He conducts a court in which there are no lawyers, nd the only law is that of common sense. Greensburg is In the henrt of the Slav district. Thousands of miners have no iden of the rights of them' elves and their fellow-citizens under AN IMPROVISED COURT. (The "Judge" Hears lioth Sides and Usuully Yulks Peace.) the law. They are abrupt, suspicious and lax in morals. They quarrel with great frequency and make all sorts of unusual trades. Now and then they sell or exchange wives. For wives are regarded there as conveniences, and every spring large numbers of Hun garian girls are brought over and quickly taken for wives by the men. These girls do not always stick to their promises to marry the firRt men they meet. And this is the cause of most of the litigation before "Judge" Slalne. The "judge has no regular court room. When a complainant seeks his advice he blunders right into the "judge's" banking house and begins the recital of his or her, for there are many quarrels among the women bill of complaint. The "Judge" hears both sides, talks pence, and In the mojorlty of cases persuades them to drop the matter. One case he had was that of a man who had exchanged wives with another man, with a pair of boots as boot. The exchange was made, but the boots were not forthcoming. An other case was that of a Slav whose sweetheart had jilted him after he had got a marriage license. He wanted to have her put in prison until she paid him $200. The "judge" talked him into a good humor, and now the young man s married to another girl. 'My reason for taking up this busi ness from which I get no financial re turns was to keep my fellow-country men out of the hands of lawyers and magistrates, who too often enoourage instead of discourage litigation. I have saved them many dollars in lawyers' and court fees and have prevented many terioua affairs. I cannot f ne them, of course, but I do the next beet thing I persuude them to give a small amount to charity." A POWER IN RUSSIA. Serge Ynlevleh De AVItte, Minuter of Finance and Master of the Art of Court Intrigue. Serire Yulevlch de Witt 4b Pnulu, mlnisetr of finance, is occupying more than his share of the public eye in Eurone. What with his recent neo-ntla. tions for a loan in America, his visit to the Russian dowager empress at Copenhagen made in the hope of recon ciling the czar and hia mother for po litical purposes, and the report cir culated not long ago in which De Witte's disgrace was thoroughly set tled to the satisfaction of correspond ents, the finance minister has kept him self in view with singular persistence. SERGE Y. DE WITTE. (Russian Minister of Finance and Power Behind Throne.) It is said that De Witte is deep in the court intrigue of Russia and that it is this fuct which binds him to the czar. That he is eminently qualified for the part he ia now plnying is evident by his rise from the state of a mere rail road clerk to that of the financial mas ter of the great empire. He was born in Tiflis about 40 yeurs ago and is really without education, except such as he managed to pick up for himself. He began his career as a humble em ploye of ft government railroad and rose rapidly as much by his capacity for intrigue as by his acknowledged ability.

Sit Abraham Roberts, he was educated at Clifton, Eton, Sandhurst and Addis combe, and at the age of 10 received hit first commission as second lieutenant in the Hengnknrtillery. He served with distinction in the Indian mutiny com paign and received the Victoria cros for personal bravery in the field in 1858. He was at the siege of Delhi ano took active part in the subsequent op erations down to the relief of Luck now. Throughout the Abyssinian cam paign of 1808 Roberta held the offlci of assistant quartermaster general. lt superintended the recmbnrkatinn ol the whole army and was selected bj Sir Robert Napier as the bearer of the latter a final dispatches. He also acted as assistant quartermaster general with the Cachar column in the Looshal expeditionary force (1S71-72). At the beginning of the Afghan cam paign he was appointed commander ot the Kuram field force and subsequently lad the chief command of the army in Afghanistan, where he achieved the most brilliant triumphs. After the massacre of the British embassy Rob erts reocenpied Cabul at the close ot 1S70. Toward the end of July, 1S80, a terrible defeat wa inflicted by the troops of Ayoob Khan at Malwand on Gen.

Roberts, gntherlng a force of over 9,000 picked men, marched to the re- 11 mw FIELD MARSHAL ROBERTS. (The New Commander In Chief of the Brit ish Army.) lief of Candahar, allowing Abdurrah man Khan to occupy Cabul. Cut off from direct communication with his countrymen, Roberts disappeared for three weeks, during which time the na tional anxiety was extreme. At last he emerged victorious from the track less region between Cabul and Canda har. Immediately he grappled with Ayoob Khan, and inflicted on that pre tender a crushing defeat. On the return of Roberts to England he was loaded with honors; he was presented with the freedom of the city of London, received the thanks of par liament, and was created a baronet. In February, 18S1, he was appointed to succeed Sir George Colley in the command of the troops in Natal and the Transvaal, but peace was concluded with the Boers before his arrival in the colony. He was afterward appointed a member of the council of Madras, and commanded the troops in that presi dency from 1881-S5. Son afterward Lord Roberts success fully commanded an expedition to Bur mah. He was later appointed conn mander in chief in India, and left that post to become commander in chief in Ireland, from which post he was called in December, 189, to command British forces in the Transvaal. Commander in Chief Roberts was cre ated Lord Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford in 1S02 and ho became field marshal iu 1S05. The Times, in an editoriul reference to the appointment of Lord Roberts as commander in chief, hints that Lord Kitchener will come home to assist him at his new post. Lord Wolseley, of course, does not step down in dis grace, but is released from command solely becuuse his age entitles him to cease active duties and to rest upon the laurels of a long, honorable and brilllunt public and military career.

The latest polar expedition has just been undertaken by Cnpt. Hauendnhl. a Germnn snilor, who, with Six com panions, will attempt to force his wnj to the north pole in the Matador, nn or dinary two-nmsted sailing vessel regis tering but 44 tons. The Matador is a rough-sea fishing bont, not incumbered with machinery. In this vessel the dar ing explorer depnrted on August 14 from Uriinbiirg, his destination heinp, Tromso, Norway, where he intends to take on board the necessary clothing OFF FOR l'HE NORTH POLE. (Fishing Boat Mntador That Recent) Sailed from Hamburg.) and outfit, lie will soil northwnrd oj Spitzbergen and will encounter th pack ice. He will pursue his course along the pack ice in the easterly direc tion through the open water channels, or will seek streams which will allow him to proceed further north. So lonp, as the Ice will permit Capt. Bnuendahl will use his Bhip, but if fields of let should oppose the Matador he will abandon it to its fate, and will travel northward with hia crew and pro visions over the Ice. In case the Mata dor will not be able to enter the pack ice Hnuendahl will place his ship It, the Seven Islands and will attempt tc go forward In small boats. As to w hether the espjacer will return on the Franz Josef Land route or by the way of Greenland will depend entirely upon the stream or ice opposition he muy encouuter. - The captain Is of the opinion that he win come across traces of Andrce on the route chosen by him, as the buoys Lave been found on the same path, i Itauendahl gives these motives foi selecting this route: Nearly all tht plans for the discovery of the north pole have failed owing to the ice masses which obstructed farther progress of a vessel. When the waters were open to advance the exploring party did not want to part with the vessel, as It served as a base for operations. No one hRs yet penetrated the pack Ice north of Spitzbergen with a ship. Bau endahl holds that by going farther eastward instead of pushing directly north more favorable results could bo secured In consequence of more favor able stream conditions. In case the ex pedition shall suffer a mishap, such as the sickness of one of the crew, tba party will continue their journey on the moving Ice. The captain does not fear the dangers of such a voyage. That this could be done, he claims, is amply demonstrated by the travels of the men of the risnsa and the I'olarls. 1 lenty of food and fuel Is only neces sary. The expense of iha amounting to about 00.000 rnnrka, will 1W ' Dome by Ihtuendahl, and nearly the whole of hiu fortune Ik Mient on the daring venture. The salaries of tlie crew are also considerable.
