The' fact of a woman calling on Prin cipal Jarrts, of the Harrison-Street School, yesterday, and expressing a de filre to be allowed to take out of school a child of her husband by another wife was the cause of a rather lively family skeleton being brought to light. As the child In Question was known to be living with or in the care of a respectable woman, the request of the stranger was not granted, and the woman who has charge of the" child was sent for. It trans pired In the course of tho ronference in Principal Jarvis office that the woman who wanted the child Is only one of the wives of its father. This father is named McBride, the son of a Spokane man. He lias a wife, to whom he was married some years ago, and by whom he has two chil dren, ono being the child In question. It appears that McBride was In Utah some time ago, and was so unfortunate as to be convicted of mall robbery, and was sentenced to the penitentiary. A Mormon great gun, named Cannon, aided McBride In obtaining his freedom, and he married a relative of Cannon. Just whether this woman knew that McBride already had a wife or whether, knowing it, this Utah woman married him because good men were mighty scarce In that country, or because, owing to her bringing up, polyg amy or bigamy were not held to be un usual by her, is not known, nor Is much known abojdt the subsequent career of McBride arid his wives till the fracas at the Harrison-Street School brought them to the surface yesterday. From the best Information to be obtained, all three per sons have been living here of late. Mc Bride has been dividing nls company equally between the two wives, day and day about. For" several days past he had failed to visit No. 3, and she, knowing of the child at school, sought to obtain possession of it, with the idea that he would come sto seek it She failed to secure the child, but had a rather lively tilt with its cus-, todiaas, in course of which she was ac cused of having come to the custodian's house a few, nights ago, dressed in man's clothe to inquire after McBride. She was ales accused of having known that McBride had another wife when she mar ried him. This she denied, and said she did not know that McBride had any other wife, but knew that he was married to her, and was her very own. Finally No. 2 retreated to her abode at 195 Seventh street, from whence she telephoned that sho had her husband there crunk, and that before she would sur render him to any other woman she would kill him. No news has been received of the consummation of her rash threat, and further developments are awaited. OUR FOREIGN POLICY. Correspondent's Views on Clayton Bulvrer Treaty Abrogation. PORTLAND, NovTT (To the Editors Are we to have an international govern ment, under one international constitu tion, with an international president, con gress, judiciary, etc., that humanity may rise to international altruism, or shall each nation continue as of old to play hog? The doctrine of lalsses falre or devil-take-the-hlndmost, has driven the individual man into a combine or trust, and is now. more than ever before, as suming an international phase. The iden tity of the citizen man is rapidly disap pearing, but that of the citizen nation Is etill very much in evidence, Judged from the present international competitive strife. An international political trust Is nbw In order. Are all the people in the world who are willing to work entitled to bread? Or shall we continue the form of prayer used from Babylon to Rome, from Rome to London, and from London to Washington, "O Lord, save mo and my wife, my son, John, and his wife, these four and no more. Amen." There will be nothing grand in a political way until Tennyson's "Parliament of Man," holding the scepter of universal world power shall sit deliberating, not concern, ing the number of Krupp guns necessary to blow England or America into eternal froth; but upon Infinitely more noble ques tions, to-wtt, the proper distribution of work and bread for the world. Have jou heard our National lawgivers chuckle about that masterstroke of the National pen, that threw multitudes of English out of employment? "Carthago delende est." The spirit of commercial conquest differs in mode only from the more brutal In stinct of Rome. The lust of gain is an ambition as deadly, and In no essential different frjpjn that which jrned the hu manity out of Alexander, c esar and Na poleon. Bullylsm is still abroad in the world, though. The individual man has been disarmed, harangued about the shame and sin of dueling, and enjolnea to keep the peace on pain of fine and Im prisonment. Yet, if I could make a "pic ture," it would show Uncle Sam, John Bull and other like-minded International worthies, shying around with chip on shoulder and Krupp guna sticking out of hip pockets, etc But the citizen-man has only changed his mode of dueling. His pocket pistol has been discarded as a toy of his child hood. His ambition has far outgrown such puerile amusements. Just listen when the next Congress opens, and jou will hear him sav to Uncle Sam: "HI old man, I have discovered a multitude of foreigners about the seas, carrying corn, lumber and wares, up and down the earth, against the peace and prosperity of myself and a few others, who could make great gain and add much to the National prestige, if we could have that little business, and I have come to get your $9,000,000 ship subsidy, miter lenoe to blow those foreign ships off the" seas." And when the isthmian canal question comes up you will hear much of the me and - my - wife -my-son-John-and-his-wife sentiment, and of the supreme deadness of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, etc. Most of Its provisions are doubtless ob solete; but have we forgotten or are we getting too big to care, that England had had possession of the Mosquito coast on the west side of Central America, for 290 years, and that these possessions included the harbor of Greytown and San Juan River and territory, and that before this treaty could be made, and In order to make the treaty possible, England relin quished her claim to the portions of this territory mentioned, and that relinquish ment still Inures to our benefit, while we flout England with the obsolete treaty! If I were an Englishman as I am an American, I would say: "Let us repossess ourselves of that territory given up to make this treaty possible, since we are to be flouted and snubbed simply for in sisting that the proposed canal shall be neutralized." The moral equity of Eng land is a factor In the matter that can not be ignored without debauching the National conscience. The principle of the "open door' is involved in the question, and requires that it be neutralized, and were it not for American strut and greed so manifest in these imperial times, It would be apparent to our snubbing law givers. We fought England in 1S12 for "free trade and sailors' rights," free trade meaning the "open door." At the sug gestion of England we proclaimed the Monroe doctrine to prevent Spain from reconquering some of her revolted South American colonies and holding them as commercial preserves. Our Government has been committed to the principle through all Its history. - In China and even in the costly Philippines we main tain tho principle, and I wish somebody would be kind enough to make me a "picture" right here, that would show Uncle Sam holding down the goat of the Philippines, while John Bull and the rest of the abstract national worthies stand around shearing it, and mark 1t "Open Door at Manila." And the English Min ister is coming with his Instructions in blank to be filled out at Washington, D. C, at least concerning the Nicaragua matter. I detest bullyism, Individual or National, and if the American Govern ment cannot rise to the level of Interna tional altruism, I would rather see it merged In an international government. J. R. KENDALL. Getting: the Musical Pitch. Pearson's Magazine. Musical pitch has a curious tendency to creep up. It is said that Bach's music sounds -much differently now from what It did when Bach wrote it, because the instruments are now pitched higher. In 1882 it was found that the pitch of high A at the Viexna Court Opera had crept from the prescribed 435 double vibrations a second to 443, and In 1885 this number had further Increased to 450. Accordingly a musical conference was held, and a resolution was taken to re-establish the old pitch of 425 vibrations per second. Upon this announcement the Relchsan stalt, the Imperial physical and techni cal Institute of Germany, set up standard Instruments, and has since tested and corrected many hundreds of tuning forks, shortening- them if they are too low in pitch and thinning the arms if they are too high. All the military orchestras of Germany are pitched alike, and the Rclchsanstalt keeps the tuning forks cor rect. And this solicitous care of the Government in preserving standards Is one reason why the world now goes to Germany in musical matters. i Set for Trial.

Five Men Charged With ConsplrlnR Against a Catholic Bishop. CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Five men charged by Bishop Anthony Kozlowski, of the In dependent Catholic Church, with conspir acy to cause his arrest ip order to Injure his church and philanthropic work, were today held by Magistrate Martin to tho grand jury.

Commenting upon the South African military situation the London correspondent of tho Tribune says: . It is understood to be the intention of the War Office to send 5000 more mount ed men out to South Africa during the next six weeks. There are" only about 7000 mounted men at home, so that the military authorities are faced with the problem of training soldiers minus the necessary accompaniment of cavalry arms. To meet this obvious falling-, it Is I probable that several composite regiments of yeomanry will be voluntarily embodied for home service. A move will scon be made to bring home from South Africa the men who have served over two years in the war, and their places may be taken by the British cavalry division of seven regiments now in India. After the con clusion of hnsHltipR It in Mtnpp.teH thn- a permanent garrison at the Cape will con sist of 50,000 men. Prevented Strike-Breakers Leaving. HAVANA, Nov. 4.

Strained Relations of Officials One Reason for Hitch In Negotiations to Secure Her Release. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Accordlng to the Vienna Polltlscho Correspondenz, quoted by the correspondent of tho London Timc3 and the New York Times In the Austrian capital, a well-known Macedonian brigand has been instructed to obtain Information as to whether Miss Ellen M. Stone Is still alive. Two others brigands, well ac quainted with the country, have been com missioned by United States Consul-General Dickinson to try to get In touch with the missionary's captors. The Prefect of the Sofia, Police has also sent two mes sengers. Miss Stone's release lsi again represented as being imminent. OFFICIALS ARE AT OUTS. One of the Cnuscs for the Hitch in the Negotiations. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The hitch In the negotiations for Miss Stone's release arises from two causes: First, the fierce antagonism between United States Diplomatic Agent Dickin son and Russian Minister Bakhmeteff; second, the missionary and diplomatic disinclination to accede to the brigands' terms, though moderated, says the Samo. kov correspondent of the Journal and Ad vertiser. The relations between M. Bakhmeteff and Mr. Dickinson are strained to the breaking point. The for mer, being friendly to Bulgaria, does not want his agent to finish the final transac tion on Bulgarian soli. Mr. Berth, a Macedonian student at the American In stitute at Samokov, one of the agents cent to negotiate with the brigands, con siders Mr. Dickinson's money offer as too small. They say that they don't want to agree to terms that would disgrace them with their brethren. Discussing the amount of ransom Mis sionary Balrd, bursar of the Samokav Institute, says:- "If the brigands get a quarter of what they still ask. bands will spring up liko mushrooms, Samokov Itself -a 111 furnish many, and Bulgaria will be ruined. The brigands began negotiations with us by asking twice Miss Stone's weight in gold. Even a fourth of this sum Is preposterous. If the Bulgarians had either trackers or bloodhounds. Miss Stone would not be spending her 61st day with the brigands." BELIEVE BUSS. STONE DEAD. Bulgarians Say the Rigors of Her Captivity Ha-ve Been Great. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The positive conviction that Miss Ellen M. Stone is dead is contained In a letter which has just been received In Boston from Ivan Raduloff, a student who was with the American missionary when she was cap tured by brigands In Turkey, together with Mme. Tsllka, says the Boston cor respondent of the Press. According to this letter the snovf In the mountains Into which Miss Stone and her companion were taken by their captors was three feet deep three weeks ago, at the time the letter was written. Even In the Summer time the snow upon the highest summits of these mountains does not melt. The first snowfall usually comes at about the middle of September, and hy tho mid dle of October the mountain passes are absolutely closed to travel. It was the conviction among Miss Stone's friends In Samokov, Bulgaria, three weeks ago, that she could not pos sibly have survived the rigors of her cap tivity until that date. There was a hope that Miss Stone might have been con cealed by her captors In the monastery of St. Ivan of Slla, which Is near the Bulgarian-Turkish frontier and on the Bulgarian side of it. So great wag the anxiety of the Bulgarian Government to do everything in Its power to assist the United States representatives In their ef forts to find the missionary that they adopted the exceedingly unpopular meth od of. searching the monastery. This search disclosed the fact that Miss Stone had not been there. The discovery was disappointing to Miss Stone's friends In Samokov. According to tho letter of Ivan Raduloff, Consul-General Dickinson has retarded the release of Miss Stone seriously. It is said that Mr. Dickinson, by his criticism of the Bulgarian Government, has antag onized the government. It Is understood In Samokov that the brigands who were In Immediate charge of the captive were under positive Instruc tions to take her life at the first indlca- s JfcjNI I ll ' ' r ' I I III ii ",- 4-A I A n EteHuerfr IT is W ASSISTS With many millions of families Syrup of Figs has become the ideal home laxative.
