ADV0C0TES SECESSION fRKMIER OF QTJKENSIAND MIJCH DISSATISFIED WITH TH AUSTRALIAN "FEDERATION NEW YORK. Sept. 29. Although ominous reports have for some time past been received from Queensland, Premier Robert Philip now openly ad vocates tne aecemion of that state from the Federal Union, the constitution cannoL be unmade with the ease that the Premier of Queensland Imagines, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune. The Commonwealth Constl. tution Act does, not make provision foe secession and apparently there are no means of obtaining separation hort of an act f repeal or ClvilWar. Premier Philip seems to Anticipate that he will receive the support of the people of New South Wales and West Australia who are also dissatisfied with present conditions, but the extreme measure la not likely to be taken. Still, this unreet Is having a very prejudicial effect on taurines In the commonwealth and nearly every Aus tralian Government loan has suffered In value, during the last fortnight. The tsouble arose out of the fact that Owe nsland had been hard hit by Fed eral legislation on the colored labor question, which practically wIl anni hilate the sugar industry, in which hundreds of thousand of -pounds of British capital has ben invested. .

October does not give much promise of being an im portant month ti regards dividend disbursements bv Industrial companies. the total thus far announced reaching J18,;?4.767, says the Journal of Com merce. ThLs la much below the monthly average, which Is perhaps best Illustrated by the fact that the figures, barring, those for february and. Sep tember, which were $1T4S0,?23 and 116, 943.SC7. - respectively, are tha. smallest of the year.. Next month's total is al so behind that of October. 11 which caa be explained by the absence of several dividends from the ll!& this year. . , . ; -. GOLD WAS WORTHLESS ' '' AN AUSTRIAN BANKER. WHO IS SAID TO HAVE FLED FROM AUSTRIA IN POORHQUSE. - NEW YORK, j Sept. 29. Ending his days as an Inmate of the Almshouse on Black well's island, there has been Identified in Adolph Uoedesch, says the Times, a. onetime banker ( of Vienna, whom the Austrian police, have been hunting for years, 'in Vienna, Boed esch is said to have been known as Adolph Bettclhetm. a banker, and: he is alleged to have disappeared with up wards of 1250.000. The Identification was made by a city detective, but It is not likely that Boedesch will be de ported for his alleged crime. The man is now over 60 yea 01 old. and Is abso lutely; penniless. There would be little to Induce the Austrian authorities to request his extradition. ; It was in 1894 that Bettelhelm disap peared from Vienna. A few days after he had been reported missing, his hat, and various parts of his clothing, which had belonged to. him were dis covered beside the Danube, on the out skirts ot the city. A body found, a few days afterwards in the river was Ma nned by Mrs.' Bettelhelm a that or her husband. A week or so later Mrs. Bet telhelm herself .dlsappeared. Now both husband and wife are In the almshouse together. In the four years In which the Bet teihclms have been In this city their career has been checkered. For awhile they prospered as a banker and broker In Lower Broadway, but the shadow of the cloud under which thejr had fled from the Austrian capital seems to have been always over them, and after getting Into trouble with the local po lice, Boedesch lost ' money, rapidly until last January, when he was stricken with, paralysis and had to go to a hos pital, and his wife wentfto the alms house. When TWdesch Jeft the hospi tal he followed his wife. MONEY RATES ARE HIGH STOCK MARKET VERELY AS A DISQUIETING SUFFERS SE RESULT OF RUMORS. NEW YORK.
