Our Relation* with Mpain?Pretexts for
the Delaying a Settlement.
No oltlclal Intelligence lias been received Irani
Madrid since the instructions to Minister Lushing
concerning the unadjusted ijuestions growing out
of the Vlrginlus affair, which gives promise of an
early settlement. Ttie unsettled condition of
Mpanlsh affairs affords a standing pretext lor nonaction
by the Madrid government on this and
kindred subjects. Hpatu is at present without a
diplomatic representative at Washington, Admiral
l'olo having returned to Spam several weeks ugo,
and Mr. Potestau, the Chargd d'Affairs, being
absent irom the city.
It has oeen privately circulated within the last
week that Hcereiary Pish is eugpged on matters of
importance concerning our affairs with .Spain; but
there is good reason to sa.v tliut business generally,
which has largely accumulated, requires tua
close attention at present, and the probability Is
that lu a short time ho will again absent himself
for a lew weeks' rest at his home in New York.
There are no questions whatever between the
United States and foreign countries that may not
be adjusted in the course of time by peaceful negotiations.
Condition of the Mint*.
The thorough examination into the condition of
all the luiuis having been concluded, occupying
about three weeks, operations have been fuliy resumed
at all of them. The examinations, under
agents appointed by Dr. underman, Director of
the Mints, show the affairs ot those Institutions
to be well conducted In all their departments.
The Han Prauoisco and Carson mints are running
to their lull capucity coining the trade dollar. The
Mint Bureau will not be able to meet all the demands
until uext fall. The capacity of the new
m ut at Han Francisco, will be 15,000,000 of the
trade dollar annually without interfering
with the other coinage. Abont 4,000.000
ol the trade duilur have already been coined.
Under tbe act of Congress authorizing
(South American) have already sent communicationa
making inquiries and expressing their desire .
that our govemmeut shad com lor them. The
matter is now under consideration by the Director 1
of the Mints. An oftlcial letter lrom Calcntta
shows that duriug February, April and May last
233,uou American trade dollars were received at 1
the Calcutta Mint. The assay snowed them to be
up to the legal standard. t hese dollars are recoined
into the coinage of India.
The Assignment of the Cadet Graduates.
The assignment of cadet graduates was recently

THE MISSING CHILD.
The Theories Regarding the Movements
of the Abductors.
MR. UOHH SPEAKN.
Records ot the Crime of
Abduction.
PlIII.ADKL.fUU. My 26, 1674.
There are many interesting thoughts suggested
during a trip over the route along which the kidnappers
passed. Each change of direction and
every bend In the road Is to be considered in the
light of Indicating the intention and the destination
<>t the men who held the reins. It is obvious,
is any one can see by consulting the map and following
the route indicated in my letter of yesterday,
that either the men who drove were utterly
ignorant ol the roads they travelled or they
were thoroughly familiar with tho way and
adopted the most roundabout course in order to
mislead pursuers aud confuse the children,
rhe lormer supposition does not seem tenaL>le
for a moment. The fact remains that
these men were seen in the neighborhood by sev
eral persons some days previous to the stealing,
l'hey were in every instance noticed coming down,
the road across the railway. Ol how much the
country towards the northward 01 the Limekiln
[like has been looked over by the police the people
will, or course, be kept in utter ignorance until a
Hekai,d correspondent penetrates the region.
A cool, deli her ate purpose.
The strange Tact Is that wherever the horse was
seen the aulmal looked iresh aua free irom dust.
1'he horse might have beeu curried at a half dozen
points on Fisher's lane. 1 traversed this part of
the road again to-day. and 1 am satisfied that the
men were actuated by a deliberate purpose In
ctiooslng just the route they did. This is ou the
hypothesis, ol course, that the route as given is
not mythical. Wnctner this buggy was driven over
this identical road to and irom every visit to the
Ross mansion or whether it came down irom the
country to the north, lam not inclined to say at
present; but this is an important polut which the
police may all'ord to overlook, but a newspaper
correspondent canuot.
wlleltk are tiik horse and buggy?
It Is au easy thing to disguise a man or to hide a
child. Little Charlie Ross, dressed as a girl, could
bo secreted in a hall room in almost any unlnqulsitive
boarding house. That he is in the city tnere is
little doubt. Strange children urc at once objects
of curiosity In the country. In small villages
everybody knows everybody else's business,
the number or persons in euch (amily and the age
ol each member. The child is, then, very near at
hand or very far away. There is no middle ground.
At present, then, trie officers, who admit to the
parents and the public that they have no clew,
mignt as well devote a little or their time to the
discovery or the buggy. It Is or peculiar shape, and a
ilrnwtnor wtlif.lt t llilll nrpltilfeil of t.hp Vfhirlp hn Mm
*?? J
uiau who was mainly instrumental in furnishing
all the information regarding tue buggy anu its
occupants, convinces me that the description given
in the Mayor's proclamation is exceedingly
CRUDE AND INDEFINITE.
The shape of the body 01 the buggy is such that
11 ouce noticed It would be remembered by any
man who Knows one Kind ol vehicle from another.
Tins buggy must be in existence somewhere. It
is uu easy tiling to hide a child and there are
plenty ol dark bay uorses, but it is reasonable to
say that there are very lew sncn one-seated conveyances
as this in the State ot Pennsylvania. The
pedigree ol every one such should be overhauled.
Toe name ot the maker ot each should be ascertained.
It should be known to whom everyone
has been sold for the past ten years. Mayor
Stokley, in the meantime, should Issue a
proclamation, commanding titc police of the entire
city and suburbs to search every barn, shed, cedar
or outuouse where a buggy could be housed. Just
such an espionage as Chief Campbell, of Brooklyn,
instituted by means ol his otherwise worthless
ponce should be inaugurated here. That vehicle
should be lound though the heavens tall. There is
nothing on the earth or under It widen it is impossible
lor an efficient police force to know.
STOl' FOOLIS11 ARRESTS.
A. thousand men can be lound to answer the description
given of etthcr of the kidnappers. Tne
principal witness through whom, besides the
boy Walter, the desperadoes cau alone
be found, Mr. Gardiner, doing business
at the corner ot Richmond and Palmer
streets, declares to this moment that ne believes
Worcester, the individual arrested aud discharged,
to be one or the men. strange, wasn't it, with
this testimony, tnat neither Dr. Walker, Mr. Ross
or the boy Walter were ever commuted with this
Worcester ? The statement of Gardiner shows conclusively
that men may look very much alike. Let
the police, then, give up tne kidnuppers and by
tracing tne conveyance, learn of their place of
former residence. One hundred dollars would open
the mouth of the most trusted stable boy in the
land l '

It.
AN INCIDENT OP THE RIDE.
As an example of the etuciency of the average
Philadelphia policeman I may relate an anecdote.
I avoid stating the precise locality in order to
save the man's head. I was driving along the road
yesterday, when 1 was accosted by a policeman,
who suddenly made hts appearance lrom the
shadow of a neighboring house
"Say, are yon Wild*"
"Not very much so," I retorted, Indignantly.
"I mean Is Your name Wild?" said the policeman,
half apologetically.
"That is not my name," I answered.
"1 didn't know but you tntgnt he mm. I 'want'
Wild, 1 do; 1 was tola that he would come atoug
this road about this time. Sorry 1 bothered you,
sir," said the oitlcer.
He then retired to his resting place, and your
correspondent drove on. This incident Is characteristic.
AN INTERVIEW WITH UK. ROSS.
A correspondent to-day had au interview with
Mr. Koss, tnc lather of the auductcd child, and
found that he was aware ot all the untoward reports
that were in circulation couccrniug niui.
Although a very reticent inuti he explained eacu
position presented to lilm by the reporter in a
verv plausible, if not. euttrely satisfactory, manner.
He said that late In June Mrs. ltoss was somewhat
unwell, owing to the fact that she had been
much troubled about the cares of her household
and about Mr. Ross's business difficulties, and she
was advised by her physician to go to the seashore.
Accordingly sue repaired to Atlantic City,
where she was whoa her little son was stolen.
The child was leit with his brother in the carc of
a housekeeper, and must have uecn playing aoout
the premises wheu lie was enticed into tne wagon
with his brother by the abductors. It wua not until
evening that Mr. Ross discovered his mlsiortune,
and his Urst thought was to look alter the
little one himself. This he says he did. He searched
In all directions, and only gave up the hunt temporarily
iu the vain hone r.hat some Iriend or relative
baa iuiii. Subsequently he lodged iniorniution
with the police authorities of (iormantowu. Tliey
telegraphed to all the city suburban stations, but
could get not the slightest clew to the child's
whereabouts.
At the instance ol a friend Mr. Rosa, on Saturday,
July 4, prepared a placard, giving a description
or the child and his apparel, und offering a reward
ot $.100 for bis restoration. Snch a reward,
he was persuaded, would be ample.
The offer of a reward was printed in all of the
Sunday and dally papers, and the handbills were
posted in all parts 01 the city.
in answer to this Mr. Ross received 0:1 the 7th a
communication with what is supposed to be a fictitious
signature offering to restore the cnild tor
the immense ransom oi $v!t>,ooo.
None ol this intelligence was communicated to
Mrs. Ross at first for lear it would drive ner to
distraction, anu Mr. Russ still hoped to bud his
child and restore him to the mother wltnout her
knowledge ol the awful affair. The news got to
her, however, and she returned home at once.
From that nmc until tne present her physicians,
husband, relatives and friends have naturally encouraged
her to hope that her child would certainly
he returned to her, and she Is very ho.ueiul
yet.
Mr. Ross denies most emphatically that his relatives

hat been enabled to raise it and will pay it. lor the
recovery 01 his lost darling. It has not been ransomed
yet because the negotiations with the kidnappers
has been temporarily suspended, possibly
ihrough the lear of detection **
He also denies any knowledge of or collusion
with the kidnappers, and says that nil such stones
are the cruel inventions 01 wicked men.
The primary error In the description oftho
cnild's clothing was chargeable to tlie excitement
and alarm caused by tne child stealing.
Mr. Itoss thinks the ponce have done everything
In their power to aid hiui in the recovery 01 his
child, and he looks upon thoir inliure as only another
chapter iu his tcrrihlc tale of miaiortuno.
He says lie lias not the slightest, clew to the w/ieieabouts
of his bitbe or his abductors, but ho \?s an

CHILD STEALING.
A Crime Common to All Age* of the
World?Kaoptr Ilmuaer. the German
Myttery?Klaaxer Wllllamt, the American
Boarbon?Many Mloaed, but Few
Found.
From the earliest ages the crime of child steal
ing has existed and been severely punished when
the thief has been brought witlnn the power of the
I law. At tlrst thought the mind Is not apt to recognize
a motive sufficient to lead to Its perpetration
with incident risks, but on rcHectiou It Is obvious
chut there are inuuy reasons which may inane it as
natural us the theft of money, horses or jewels.
Among the rude, savage and barbarous races children
were stolen both to increase the numbers of
the robber tribe and as revenue upon the parents.
Later 011 children wero stolen trom motives of
gain, which was made by selling them Into slavery.
Thus Joseph, son of the patriarch Jacob, was Infamously
entrapped and sold a captive to Egypt
by his jealous brothers.
Victor Hugo, in the "Man who Laughs," paints
graphically the nefarious trade of the outlawed
comprachi<x>8. whose dovihsn tramc led them to
torture and disfigure their victims so that oven the
mothers who bore them could not see In their distorted
features or dwaried forms the semblance of
the children oi their affection and pride. A devilish
singeing converted an intelligent laee into a
Veering mask, or a straight-backed boy Inroa sprawling
squat hunchback. Severe penalties were
enacted against these heartless scamps, who .or
money trained the human fortn into hideous
shapes, as the gardener trains a tree as an espalier
against a wail. Still, In thoso rude ages there
were otten urgent re&sous why a particular ciilid
should disappear, and, with ample rewards, the
savage Cimprachlcoa flourished in spite of the
rigors of the law aua the canons of the Church. In
more
uodkkn timkh
the system of large estates in European countries,
with laws of inheritance, which still retain
many teatures 01 the olden times, has led to the
nilIIBKV iuaup|?Jui uuiv "i uiuu * a i uiiu, ui i uui uoue
to death ut the hand or the assassin or delivered
to the child stealer for the advantage 01 souie envious
relative. These scenes have loriucd the
theme 01 many a startling novel or ltfe-Uhe drama,
In which sometimes the stealer is made to consign
his own otispring to death or hopeless loss, and
remorse thereat has pla.ved the Nemesis ot ins last
weary years. Even in our own country, where the
property motives for wishing to put any particular
child out or the way are certainly small, there
nevertheless exists the tendency to steal children,
ub will be noted by all whose memory retains the
news wtncu daily meets rhe eye in the all-reporUng
press. Below will be tound some ol cue most notable
cases 01 child stealing in modern times lu
Europe and America, from which it will be seen
that the recent Philadelphia sensation is not
unique
KIDNAPPING AS A CRIMK.
There are many old severe laws against this
offence. It was irequent at a comparatively late
period in Scotland and Ireland, where, on account
ol the feebleness oi the law and the geographical
lactlttics, severe laws were directed
against it in vain. By ttie act oi tenth ol tieorge
IV., chanter h4, It was made punishable with death
in Ireland. This was mitigated to transportation
by the acts of the flith ana sixth ol Victoria, chapter
28, the same punishment which had boon assigned
in England to it fourteen years earlier by
fclr Robert Peel's consolidation act.
It is provided by the act ol ninth George IV.,
chapter ai, that ii any person shall maliciously,
either by lorce or iraud, lead or take away, or entice
or decoy away, or detain any child with intent
to deiraud the parents or others havlug lawful
charge of such child, or shail detain or receive
and harbor any child so stolen or enticed away,
shall be held guilty of a felony to be punished by
transportation lor seven years, or by imprisonment,
with or without hard labor, for any term
not more than two years, and, ii a male, to no
whipped if the Court think fit, Under
as laid down by Sir Archibald Allison, la tils '
"Principles of Criminal Law," the stealing of a
child is held a capital offence, a crime oi the very
greatest atrocity, from the unequalled agony and
distress which It necessarily Inflicts upon the unfortunate
parents, who ure ui tnls cruel manner
deprived of their offspring. Prom the earliest
times scotch law punished this crime with death.
Nor was it accepted as a deiencc, or as reason lor
the soltenlng of tne penalty, that the motive was
affection for the child and not the hope to secure
pecuniary profit. It was held a theit, una being
positively prohioited, it was not required that tne
prosecution should show any motive in order to
tlx the responsibility upon the abductor.
The Mystery- ot Kaipar Hauarr.
Kaspar (or Gaspard) Hauser, a mysterious boy,
, was found by a citizen in the streets ot Nuremberg
In 182S, utterly destitute of all the common sentiments
and attainments which distinguish humanity
from simple animal life. He was almost
utterly unacquainted with speech, but, when

Hauser." He bore in his hand a letter addressed
to an officer of the garrison, saying that the bearer
was born in 1812, and that his father had been in
the military service of Bavaria, In the same regiment
as the officer addressed. On being relieved
by public charity and Instructed by a professor of
Nuremberg, he was, through the influence of Lord
Stanhope, placed in a subordinate position In a
bureau oi the Court of Anspacn. Here his assassination
was repeatedly attempted by persons to
whose identity there was no clew obtainable.
Finally a person with whose features he was not
familiar came to him, and. under pretence
of a message from his Kuglish benefactor,
Lord Stannope, decoyed him into an unfrequented
place, and then stabbed him in the side. Kaspar
escaped, and, though weak from the loss of blood,
was able to relate tne story oi the attack. He died
the next day, and his murderer was never discovered.

The American Bourbon.
When the people of France, stung to desperation
by long and cruel wrougs under the monarchy,
which tor 800 years bad enslaved and humiliated
them, iu 1793 deposed and put to death titcir
sovereign, Louis XVI., and nis queen, the beautilui
Austrian, Maria Antoinette, they left alive the
Dauphin Charles Louts, a boy eight years old. Him
the reigning republicans consigned to the cruel
care of one Simon the Gobbler. litrn the royalists
proclaimed King as Louis XVII. Simon's care
made the boy an imbecile, almost an idiot, lie
was grievously afflicted with scrofulous sores in
his legs, especially about the knees. This boy
was an elephant in the hands or the chosen
democratic leaders of the French people. He
| had done naught to merit death, and though
I the "fierce democracle" were not scrupulous In
i regard to taking off heads of men who were or
i might be in the way, It is quite easy to understand
that they scrupled at shedding the blood, ai this inI
no??nt wno played witn straws, still lie was in
i the way. He was equally worthless rubbish among
the propertied of tho royalist adherent*. A cuild,
and esneeially an tdiot child, as Mug, would have
necessitated a regency. ruts Is a poor resource at
an* time; doubly so when royalty !s excluded trout
the throne and must wait and fight tor its crown.
Robespierre (ell and his minion Btmou lost his
ueud. In 1794 the Convention decreed that the
Connnltt.ee 01 Government should "tlud nicun* ol
sending the son of Urnls out ol the Republic." But
he was sick. It can readily be supposed tliere was
an agreement, made between the two hostuo tactions
to both 01 whom he was an eyesore to relieve
themselves 01 ins presence, (in the 9th of
June, 1795, It was reported to the Convention that,
he was dead, and three surgeons testified that he
was the victim or scroinla. He was no more in the
way oi Louis XVI11. and the royalists, and his case
no lurther troubled the republican rulers of
France.
