withdraw Into British territory nnd
urged President Krugcr to do his
utmost to prevent blood shed.
Afternoon newspapers comment at
some length upon this fresh troublo

London, Jan. 1. Tho Westminister
Gazotto In a leading article, headed
"Tho Way Out, 'Wb:
"While tho question Intrinsically is

ofcscnpo from llils dead o :1c which

which Is as Ilk as possible."
Tho Gazotto suggests that both
countries ngreo upon a board of con
ciliation, not binding themselves, as
in thb case of arbitration, to accopt
Its decisions, but on tho chunco of
conciliators being able to suggest a
compromise acceptable to both coun

MATTin OVEItMAN'8 STORY
Die. Brown.
Anotrr
HE FORGOT THE INJUNCTION.
"Be Yi: Therefore Spirtually
' Minded Always."
San Francisco, Jan. 1. At the
residence or Rev. Dr. C. O. Brown,
and In tho prosenco of Mrs. Brown,
Miss Mattle Overman told her story
of the chargos made by Mrs. Mary
Abbot Davidson, alleging a criminal
intimacy with Dr. Brown.
MISS OVERMAN'S STORY.
"I have iwon a toohln tho hands of
a dlslgntng woman, sho said. "My
relations with Mrs. Davidson wore of
such a friendly nature that I regarded
her as a mother. Indeed, sho trentod
mo as a daughter, greeting mo with
kisses every tltno wo met, and seem
ingly taking a mother's Interest In
my welfare. What an Insult to my
Intelligence and perception to bo
forced to tho avowal that sho de
ceived mo and used mo as a tool for
tho furtherance other nefarious plans.
Mrs. Davidson is an artful, plauslblo
woman. I have discovered that now.
Sho says sho was uhawaro of my ar
rival In this city rroin Tacoma last
August and that she was amazed to
seo mo. Tno ract is, siio wroto to mo
to come, Baying that she would find mo
employment as n stenographer. Wo
wore to llvo together like mother nnd
daughter, sho agreeing to pay my ex
penses, I consenting to aid her by
doing sowing on Saturdays."
Mr. Overman referred to tho state
ment that Dr. Brown was contribut
ing $35 a tionth to her support.
"I novcj'know this money Vas paid
to Mrs'' Davidson," remarked she.
"Is it rcasonablo to bcllovo that 1
would havo fjowcil for Mrs. Davidson
had 1 1con guilty of relations with
Dr. Brown relations which forced
him tq' contribute to my support?
Had I Wn guilty, as Mrs. Davidson
says, 'l "Vvotild havo rccolvcd this
monoy -pronally from Dr. Brown,
nnd spent It without Mrs. Davidson's
aid. Tho fnot Is, I know nothing
about this alleged money transaction,
but licllovciV, as Mrs. Davidson told
me, that this money had been sent to
her by friends In tho East. In fnct,
Dr. Brown was not even mentioned to
mo after my arrival from Tacoma."
"How is It that you called upon Mr.
Simpson, of tho Chronicle, and offered
to sell him n sensational story for
$1,000?"
"That Is the only ugly fnct to this
ugly business that I will bo compelled
to face," answered Miss Overman.
"I will tell tho truth, however, no
mnttor what Interpretation Is placed
upon my statomont by tho public."
"Sho convinced mo that it was all
right, and sho asked mo to go to tho
Chronlclo otllco and ascertain If bucIi
a story would bo acceptable. Ask
$1000 for It,' sho remarked, 'becauso It
Is worth It.'
"Well, after repeated requests on
tho part of Mrs. Davidson to go to the
Chronlclo office, I went thero nnd saw
Mr. Simpson, tho city editor. Ho did
not appear to relish my proposal, and
began to question mo so that I lecanio
nervous, and to escaiw more cnslly, I
agreed to call again. I did not admit
to Mr. Simpson, as Is reported, that I
was the woman wronged. If ho made
that statement ho Is mistaken."
"Dr. Brown made the horrid rove
Jntlon," said she, "in tho presence of
Mrs. DiiVHilson, We lioth confronted
hor with her perfidy, but sho would
alllrm or dtfny nothing. I becamo
very angry and demnnded that sho
should return tho $500 of which sho
had robbed Dr. Brown. Sho answered
that sho had given it to Mrs. Baddln.
T grasped her by tho arm and shook
hor, and as I did ro I heard monoy
rattle In her dress.
"Mrs. Davidson says you mado a
confession to her," suggested tho re
porter. "It'sn Ho," exclaimed Miss Over
man, excitedly. "I mado no confes
sion to hor, for I had nono to make. I
uover told her that I accompanied Dr.
Brown to any room, or that our re
lations were anything olso than lion-
orablo. I nover said ho had given mo
ergot, or that I was 111 because of tho
use of that drug. My changed ap
pearance was caused by tho grip,
which nttacked mo nt Tacoma. I
will tell all tho world that Dr. Brown
Is an injured icsn, aud I"
"Ye3," Interrupted Mrs. Brown,"ho
nnd Miss Overman havo been mal-
lncd bitterly
But I will novor

had gone to llvo nt Dr. Brown's house
nt the request of Mrs. Brown herself,
believing thnt would bo tho bot
course to pursue.
"Wo aro very friendly," sho added,
"for we havo known each other for
four years. At no time did Dr.
Brown make an avowal of love to ino
or I to him. 1 was surprised to hear
that people spoke harshly of mo at
Tacoma."
Mrs. Davidson says Maltlo and
Brown consulted together, and deter
mined to arrest her; then alio told all
sho knew. Mrs. t Davidson further
ndded it was notorious in tho First
Congregational church that Dr.
Brown had contracted an unholly
connection with tho mistress of ono
of the rich members of his church,
and, to avoid cntnuglemcnt, was
forced to pay $000. Mrs. Davld'sob
promises toireveal many more nnines
of guilty members nt her trial. Sho
says sho Is confident of her own vlndl-
catlon.
DR. 11ROWN TALKS.
Dr. Brown tonight gave his version
of tho story that has been current for
several days with regard tohlsaetlims
with another woman. Tho doctor
said that, ono night about a year and
a half ago, ho was summoned to tho
bedside of Mrs. Stockton. Tho woth
an was said to bo dying, nnd wished
spiritual consolation. Dr. BroWn
visited tho woman's homo nild was
ushered Into a dark bedroom. To tho
minister's surprise, ns ho says, tho
woman, who was lying on tho bed
with all her clothes on, arose nnd,
throwing her arms about his neck,
kissed him. Brown robuked tho wom
nn and wont home. A few days after
ward, ho says, Mrs. Stockton said sho
had bcon insulted, and demanded
$000. Brown refused to pay tho
money, and consulted a prominent
resident of this city, who know the
woman. Brown says this man went
to Mrs. Stockton, nnd Induced her to
withdraw hor demand for monoy.

A FRENCH VIEW.
London, Jnn. l.-Tho Pall Mall
Gazette published an artlclo from tho
pen of M. Flourens, formerly French
minister of foreign affairs, upon tho
Venezuelan controversy. Comment
ing upon It, the Fall Mall Gazotto
says.
"Wo want to hear what Frenchmen
thought of Secretary Oluey 's cxtontlon
of tho Monroa doctrluc;but ho scarcely
touches upon that nnd Improves tlw
occasion by giving us somo homo
truths. He accuses us of hulylngjuid
breaking faith,"
M. Flourens says.
"Tho French do not bollove In the
probability of .war, as both Great
Britain nnd the United titntcs aro
prone to weigh profit and loss. More
over, vo aro accustomed to cool pru
dence of England, which will tncrcaso
in proportion ns tho youthful Impetu
osity of tho United States gives ItsoK
frco course. Franco Is far more dis
posed to accept tho Monroe doctrine
than you In England arc, but wo re
serve anterior rights ami do not agree
with President Cleveland's conception
of arbitration. Wo aro great advo
cates of arbitration, and would gladly
seo it applied to all International dis
putes. Notably, we liellcvo that dif
ficulties such as may arise betweeu
American republics aud European
states aro all of a nature to Ira settled
by arbitration, to tho great advantage
of tho parties Interested. To this
effect, wo should llko to seo a perma
nent tribunal of arbitration erected:
"Bjitlsh diplomacy still retain? n
violent procedure, which Isrout of
place in our epoch. Unless sho alloves
sho Is faco to faco with a t ronger
powor thaij herself, her wea ns of
discussion tiro ultimatums. Tills un
bridle manner docs enormous harm to
hor reputation, whether It Imposes
hor will on the people whoso weakness
obliges them to submit In humilia
tion, or whether she gives way, as hha
will havo to do in tho quarrel with
Vcnczuoln.beforo unforseon resistance.
Her moral authority was r-orlously im
paired, for instance by Lord Sullsburys
menacing langiiago to tho sultan. A
European concert in regnrd to the
East, Far East or America docs noti
exist, becnuso no one wishes to bo
addrt'wl- 1th England's diplomatic
arrogance or exjiosed to tho dangers
of her breaches of faith."
