Swindled Kings and
Princes.
A VERY tMIXENT CRIMINAL
The 1'riiioe of Wain., Crown rrlncti of
Austria, Ilismirck, King of llnl
giuin, Sweden nntl Mnln Among Hi.
Victims Now He'ii Arresti-il.
New Yokk, Jan. 211 The Tribune's
Vienna correspondent sends the follow
ing: The most extraordinary criminal
of the nineteenth century has just been
captured at Zurich and ia now in the
custody of the Swiss police awaiting ex
tradition to Auitria.
The list of great personages whom he
has victimized is a remarkable one. It
includes the names of the Prince of
Wales, of the late Crown Prince of Aus
tria, of Prince liismarck, the iato Duke
of Morny and the kings of Belgium,
Sweden and Spain, besides statesmen,
embassadors, great nobles, eminent
bankers and business men innumerable.
.Of his American record I am unable
to say much except that he figured for a
time at New York as the agent of some
great tobacco house. Inasmuch, how
ever, as the Austrian police assert that
he made the United States too hot to
hold him, it is probable that Inspector
Byrnes may know something or other
about him. The name by which ho is
best known is that of. Baron Hoffman,
although he has occasionally figured
. under the alias of Colonel or liaron de
Courtier. His real name is Charles
Hoffman, and he is the son of a respect
able Bohemian glassware dealer at
Prague.
HIS EAItLY START.
He was forced to leave the couutry
at the age of sixteen in consequence of
a forgery which he had committed.
After drifting about the continent for
Borne time he finally reached London,
entered the Metropolitan Polico and
soon became known at headquarters as
a shrewd and clever detective. He was
suddenly dismissed in consequence ot
some act of dishonesty.
Just about this time his father died,
leaving a Binall fortune which enabled
hint to secure withdrawal of the charge
oi forgery-iigainst him at Prague and to
return to Austria. Within a year he
had squandered every kruutsser ot his in
heritance and now set forth once more
to trade upon his wits and the astonish
ing credulity oi other people. In Paris
he managed to become acquainted with
an American lady, the widow of a New
Kngland inventor of a patent anchor,
who had died at Carlsbad. By some
means or other Holl'man induced the
widow to serrender to him all her rights
to the patent, and then at once pro
ceeded to negotiate with various conti
nental governments with a view to the
adoption of the anchor. To this day the
Swedish and Norwegian navy have his
anchor in use.
l'AHIS TOO WARM.
After the death oi his friend the Due
De Morny he got into some kind of
trouble with the Erench police which
threatened speedy departure from Paris
advisable. Ho next turned up at Baden,
where his fascinating manners and ap
parent wealth and rank ena-bled him to
captivate the heart and obtain the hand
of the enormously rich and beautiful
young widow of a Russian prince. Soon
after his marriage he took up his resi
dence on his wife's estates in Russian
Poland, where he lived in great splendor
for several years.
After selling every portion of her
property for which he could find a pur
chaser, and mortgaging the remainder,
he deserted her and removed to Berlin.
While there he acquired several hundred
thousand dollars as the negotiator of
more or leas fraudulent foreign railroad
contracts. But he spent the money as
fast and even faster than he made it,
living in grand stvle in the palace of
Count Henkel Von Donnersmarck,
which he had taken on a long iease. He
found means of ingratiating himself
with Count Herbert Bismarck, who be
came sufficiently intimate with him to
introduce him to his father, the great
Chancellor, and on several occasions he
figured among the guests at the dinner
parties in palace of the Wilhelmstrasse
at Berlin.
. HERLIN TIRKS OF HIM,
His mansion was invaded at midnight
by the police, all his papers and cor
respondence were confiscated, and on
the following morning he was con
ducted to the Austrian frontier under
escort of three detectives in plain
clothes. No explanation was vouch
safed, but from the peculiarly Bis
marckian method of dealing with the
case it was manifested that the old
Chancellor had become aware of the
antecedents and identity of his Bon's
friend.
In 1875 he made his appearance in
London, where he described himself as
the nephew of Baron Von Hoffman, who
at that tune held the poat of minister of
finance of the Austro-Ilungarian empire.
He was made an honorable member of
Beveralof the best clubs, where his lib
erality and 'the san froid with w hich
he lost large sums at cards soon won
for him a host of iriends of the highest
rank, including even the Prince of
Wales, a number of whoee letters were
found among his papers.
During one of his visits to Brussels he
became acquainted with the Crown
Princeof Austria, who conceived a great
liking for him. Foreseeing the advan
tages of this intimacy, he planned to
present to the archduke a magnificent
yacht as a wedding present.
bi t he didn't.
Suddenly the intended donor of the
latter was arrested at his hotel at Vienna
on charges of forgery and fraud of the
most extensive kin i. Hoffman likewise
was well known at Madrid, where he
was made a member of the Yelose club.
At Rome he frequented the salons of the
Torloniaa and other members of the Ital
ian aristocracy who have become recon
ciled to the Quirinal. King Humbert
showed his appreciation of the man's
amiable qualities by creating him a
Knight of the Cavaliere of the Order of
the Crown, while the late King of Por
tugal conferred upon him the enameled
cross and red ribbon of the Order of
Christ.
On emerging from the Austrian prison
' where he had served his time he disap
peared for a while, and is believed to
nave paid -a secona visu 10 ine umteu
States. Recently, however, he has re
newed his nefarious activity, and his
present arrest is due to the discovery
that he is chief end director of a species
of international band or ring of bank
robbers and lorgers, who have regular
established agencies in every important
capital of Europe, and who have been
practically monopolizing the attention
of thechiefsof the various detective de
partments in Enrope for several months
past. -

Piui.AiiKi.iMiiA, Jan. 2S Professor
Aiigoki Hoilprin, who hag been selected
to head the expedition which tho Aca
demy of Natural Science will sond to the
relict ot Lieutenant Parry, accompanied
the original expedition to MoCormick
oav and is regarded by a majority oi
members as a man preeminently quali
fied to command the expedition. Pro
fessor Hoilprin is engagod in drawing up
the preliminary plans to be submitted
to his committee. He said :
As to the idans for the expedition.
thev aro not as vet in anv shano. as to
details. 1 have simply formulated the
general plan. The expedition will start
irora this city, in June, and leave St.
Johns, N. V., in all probability in the
steam whaler Kito, the same vessel
which took Parry and his expedition
to MoCormick bay. 1 expect to reach
Melville Bay at about the time of the
earliest, breaking of the ice packs. This
usually takes place the third week in
July, when a free passage is permitted
northwestward to Cape York, in latitude
75 degreos, 50 minutes.
Beyond Cape York the free north
water is reached and in a day and a half
or two days' sail I believe we will reach
Parry, whom we hope to find safe at his
headquarters, Lieutenant Parry and
his exploring party expected to return
to their headquarters on McCormick
bay after the journey over the island in
the last week of July. They will be
ready to leave on their return south
.vard between August first and August
15. The relief " expedition will then
reach Parry's headquarters about two
weeks in advance of his time for depart
ure. A year's extra provisions will be
taken for Parry's party in the evont of
possible emergencies, compelling an
other year's stay in the Artie region."
The personnel of the relief party, tho
Professor said, had not been as yet de
cided on. That was n matter for the
committee to consider, aud ho had not
decided vet as to how manv members
their party would consist of.
When asked about what he coiild do
if Parry was not found at McCormick
bay, he replied: "The course of action
in that event was being decided on. It
would be almost useless to push inland
across tho ice, as we would have nothing
to guide us. That we shall find the
party at McCormick Kay, I am confi
dent."

New York, Jan. 29 Jerry Simpson,
Watson and Otis, of Kansas, have split
from other Alliance membors of the
House because thev objected to the
proposition made bv the latter that they
cast their lot with the Democrats..
It is said the difficulty is too serious
to be healed. Alliance men who favor
working with Democrats have decided
to introduce bills to put on the free iist
articles considered as necessities to far
mers, and by securing the passage of
these measures to so reduce revenuos
that a deficit in the treasury will be
created.
This much accomplished, Alliance
members would compel congress to
issue legal tender treasury notes to cover
the amount of the deficit, security to be
furnished by those receiving notes in
accordance with the sub treasury plan.

The escape from Paris of I'adlowski,
through tho aid of Dr. La' Brudiere,

Gregoire, has also been fully dotailed.
I'r. l.a'Brudiero accompanied the as
sassin to Trieste, whero he loft him ; from
there I'adlowski made his way to Eng
land, whero he took passage on the
steamer Etruia, and arrived in New
York on February 15, 1801.
Here I'adlowski was cared for by the
nihilistic agitators. Ho was known as
Otto lleler, under which name he had
registered on tho steamer. . tie . was
taken to ti house on Fifteenth street,
New York, where he remained ill seclu
sion fur sometime, and until the agents
of the Russian and French police got
close on his track. When this became
known lie was taken from the house -on
Fifteenth street to a small town in New
Jersey.
Hero lie remained concealed until
March 4, when he was put aboard a
steamer for Texas, lie carried with
him a letter of introduction to some
persons who lived in San Antonio, Tex.
In this letter, he was referred to as Otto
llauser, and the San Antonio people
never know that he was the noted and
hunted assassin I'adlowski.
His San Antonio friends secured for
llauser n place as a work hand in the
employ oi a man named Schroeder, noar
Selma, lloxar couty, Texas, lie worked
here for two months, and after that se
cured employment in various places
near San Antonio, but finally he could
get nothing to do and he seemed to be at
the end ol Ins resources.
Ho was expecting a registered letter
nil the time towards tho ciose of iii.ilife,
but it never came. In the last three
days of his life he seemed to be in an
utterly hopless condition. Ho showed
signs of great fear when on the street,
and there were indications that ho was
losing his reason, or had made a startle
ing discovery of some kind which had
terr.ji-izod him. .
At dawn of the morning of October 20,
1S0I, his body was found in the Maver
ick Park ; a small pistol lay within the
outstretched hand and there was a bul
let hole nearly in the center of his fore
head which iiad caused his death. He
was buried in a pauper's grave in San
Antonio ami it was not known by those
in the city who had befriended him
what his fate had been until some time
afterward. They now make public
through the Sun the fate of the noted
criminal, which has for so long a time
been a matter of conjecture.
