Portland, Ore , April 16 Wilfully leav ing behind the protection and advantages of a convent school in this city to enter upon a more rapid career such as may be had in a common music hall, then sudden ly finding herself an heiress in her own right and the world and all its freedom actually herssuch is the chapter of life of Ida M Long She is a half orphan, her father being dead Her mother, now liv ing in Los Angeles, formerly conducted a hotel at La Grange, Ore Last December Ida was placed in a Catholic school in this city by her mother The girl ran away from this place and sought what are al leged to be wild ways of living One Mr Zarvts of Los Angeles was hunting for the girl, who, he confided to the lawyer who had taken care of the case In the po lice court, was heir to $100 000 Mr Zar vls was said to be acting for Mrs Long of Los Aageles Mr Zarvis offered money to find Miss Long Certain friends of hers were visited here, and she was lo cated at Aberdeen Mr Zarvis then sent Attorney Watts to Aberdeen to see the girl and induce her to go home, as a for tune was left to her and her presence there was necessary to a settlement Miss Long consented to leturn to Port land but would not have anything to do with her mother s agent nor with any one else excepting through her attorney She made terms She said she would go to Los Angeles to attend to the settle ment of the estate if expenses for herself and her counsel were guaranteed in ad vance As Mr Zarvis wa& not anxious to pay the expenses of the trip over to the sound, the matter was drooped, and the agent who offered to tell the girt how the disposal of the Wisconsin fortune stood, went home without accomplishing anything Mr Watts has a letter from Joseph Chase an uncle of Ida Long's at Oshkosh, Wis to their client under date of Dec 13 This letter contains the first intimation that the girl says she ever had that any money was coming to her from anv source From The Journal JBicreau, Room. 45, Pott Building, Washington Washington April 17 A Kron who re cently has achieved notoriety in connec tion with the Danish West Indies islands' bribery storya story by the way which has flattened out completelycut quite a wide swath in Minnesota during the first McKjnley campaign Kron -was a student at Harvard for some time and impressed the New England repupblican senators and members of the national committee with the idea thaconsiderabla t he was great man There1 i s a e Scandinavian setlement in New Eng land, and Kron prevailed'on the national committee to make him a member of the detail which was to do missionary work among these people He had himself ap pointed on a subcommittee of that detail, having translations and newspaper work in charge and then it was that the scene of his activities was transferred to Minne sota He was not long in getting the Scandi navians of the state by the ears and the national committee learning of his ef forts, took him away from the state, and soon thereaftei dismissed him It seems that Kron made an arrangement with a certain publisher in Minneapolis a Dane, to edit and translate a lot of literature for the Swedish and Norwegian papers of the state The Swedish editors naturally took exceptions to this arrangement, as did the Norwegian editors It was pointed out that the Sdewish people ought to be per mitted to translate into their own lan guage and the Norwegians into theirs They did not want a Dane doing this work for them It took a lot of hard work to straighten out the tangle and several trips to Chicago by state campaign leaders were necessary It should be said that as soon as Senator Hanna got hold of the affair, he promptly repudiated Kron s methods, which he said were not at all in harmony with the plans of the national committee Sought Office In Vain. For months after the inauguration of McKmley Kron loafed around Washing ton, a candidate for appointment as min ister to some foreign country He ap proached Senators Lodge Piatt of Con necticut and other members from the New England states to whom he told glowing tales about his work for McKinley and his great influence among the Scandinavian peoples These senators finally referred him to Senator Nelson of Minnesota "Come back to us with Senator Nelson s indorsement said theee gentlemen in effect 'and we will then talk with you further Without quoting Senator Nel son I may say that he did not take kindly to Gron or the Gron candidacy, and that the interview between them was brief and strictly to the point Kron did not secure the indorsement of the Minnesota senator, nor did he get an appointment More Guessing on E d d j . The talk that Representative Eddy of Minnesota will not again be a candidate for congress continues to be heard in Washington but after diligent inquiry I am satisfied that theie is nothing tangible back of it At the best, it is a guess It is perhaps probable that Mr Eddy may not care to run again and that he has made business arrangements with the Clergue syndicate, or some other com pany, to be its permanent representative abroad But no word to that effect hab come to him or from anybody represent ing him These stories no -doubt oiginate in the knowledge that his -going away has unfavorably affected hi&f chances in the new seventh district ana that he may not care to run again aftei he comes home and looks over the ground It is the be lief of a considerable number of members of the Minnesota colony that he will not run again, but none of them knows any thing about it Mi Eddy has not been heard from for several weeks It is as sumed that he will return to Washington the latter part of this week, or eai ly next week His leave of absence will expire GEORGE LOUDON. ,,\ J .
