[ New York Herald Cable Special to THE BKE. ! Gcorgo Hitchcock , secretary of the American art Jury In Paris , lias eloped with Miss O'llalloran , of St. Paul , Minn. Hitchcock first cnmo into notice several years ago , through the success of his tulip picture , which received honoraolo men tion In the salon. Miss O'llalloran is a western girl who came to Paris two years since for the benefit of her health and has followed the profession of a copyist. Hitch cock was married eight years ago to a charm ing and clever woman. Ho first met Miss O'Hnlloran over n year ago. Ho remarked at the tlmo that she was a pretty American girl who seemed qulto alone. The acquaintance grow Into friendship , much against Mrs. Hitchcock's ' approval , when Hitchcock Induced the girl to become ono of his pupils last summer. During the summer Miss O'Hnlloran attempted to paint Dutch sketches , ono of which , after the master had completed aud sulllciontly used his Influence with the Jury , was placed on the top line of the American gnllory exhibition Ho fell very ill nnd was nursed by Mrs. Hitchcock. On their return to Paris In the autumn a worthy gentleman suggested that the friendless young American girl should bo protected by his wife , as she was already be coming much gossiped nbout In the nrtistlo circles of Paris. A number of well known American nriists spoke to Mrs. Hitch cock of the girl so lightly thut she took up arms In her defense and declared It to bo a shame. Mrs. Hitchcock agreed , and the girl was al lowed to remain an tomato of her house hold , and was chaperoned to soirees and promenades , etc. , by the wife of the man who was , during all thcso months , carrying on n duplicity which , If It had not so bour- geolso and Inartistic tin ending , might have added ono more note to tils reputation lor- superficial cleverness. Finally a sister of the pretty llttlo American arrived fern n few weeks' visit , and wus asked by Mrs. Hitchcock to spend a fort night ns her giiest. Tnat the sisters mlcht bo together after their long scpnru- nlion , being ardent Homan Catholics , a littla pilgrimage was planned to Rome , where Miss Agnes was to bo presented to the pope. The older sister acted , as chaperone to the young devotee nud suspected nothing. Dur ing their absence , Mrs. Hitchcock seized the opportunity of ridding herself of the incubus of her young charge aud. declared that , as her sister had now arrived. the girl wus sufficiently protected. The hus band was all tenderness nnd devo tion , and declared himself pleased to bo rid of tlio girl. Ho , however , foil into a state of feigned illness and declared himself unfit to leave Pans to do his summer's paintIng - Ing , nnd told his wife that his nerves we o utterly unstrung by the responsibility of mnnuging the entire American jury and his prominent position as piintor-in-chlof of the American section , and that ho must remain in the city under n doctor's caru until the Roman pilgrimage was ended. Miss O'Hal- loran returned from Roaio last Monday evenIng - Ing nnd came at once with her sister to Hitchcock's apartments nnd asked to rom nln a few days longer. She complained of great fatigue , retired early nndjrornoinctl in her room the next day to rest , while Mrs. Hitchcock caved for her , never dreaming that there was cause for concealment in the darkened room , or that within twenty-four hours both the guileless American and the honorable secretary to the American art exhibit would bo skipping around the co'rner to the shades of Chantilly. At 9 o'clock lust Wednesday morning Mr. Hitchcock , as tenderly as ho always did , kissed Ills wife good-bye and asked her to meet him at 3 o'clock In the afternoon in the exhibition. The unsuspecting - > suspecting wife kept the appointment , but. lior husband was waiting for the unsuspect ing American girl , who was too ill to got up. At dinner there was two vacant chairs and two wondering women a wife and a sister. Nine o'clock came and with it a blue tele gram , saying : Do not expect mo. Will write. Gcoiian HITCHCOCK. CTp the sister there was another , saying , with rare pathos and brevity : You must hold Agnes blameless forever. GuoitaE Hrra IICOCK. To an acquaintance yet another : Bo good to madumo. I think I am crazy. Yours ever , G. HITCHCOCK , Next morning's post brought the following to Mrs. Hitchcock : "I can not say what I must. Agncss , con dition can no longer be concealed , and I do the only thing loft me. I think I am crazy. Will you think so and forgot mo. " A day later information came to a friend that ho and Miss O'Hnllornn were at an hotel in Chantilly under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Thut letter said ; "Have hoard nothing since Wednesday , , but fear tbo worst. I know you think mo qulto unworthy of tno slightest consideration , but I hope you will deliver the enclosed note. If I tell you that It had to be and that it was a question of lifo or death to all con cerned , you would tulntc moro kindly of mo. | I can not help it if I am desperate- and fear fully Impetuous'which , no ago as yet etui con * trolI tdiull probably lese my lifo. I am I now fur from well , but I must try to llvo to bclp ibis poor girl through her sorrow and make what amends I can to her , whom you tnu&t hold qulto blameless. I only have done In the name envelope there came ono to his wife , saying : ' I i'l will not liibult you by snylng moro ( linn Is absolutely necessary , I beg of you to ' think that what I have done has not been flono without deep sorrow and long pondering - > ing lu grief and misery. 1 sue no other way , I know that I have ruined your life.

You will be happy , but I shall never bo. " , On Sunday last a friend sought Hitchcock , in company with the heart-broken bister , to endeavor to porsuudo him to return to hU wife , who hud offered to conceal his slrainu and weakness in order to spare the groy- liulrcd father of iho young girl. JUtobcock , alia * Builth , received visitors nt the Hotel a'Anglotorre ' , to whom ho snld : "Marriage is a failure. My wife and I are Incompatible f , 1 love this plrl , and no matter - tor if she had fifty lovers , to mo she is n virgin. " When the girl's ' sister arrived ho refused to allow her to enter , hut hu forced hOr way to Mrs. Smith's apartments , where , with weeping nud prayers , she implored the girl to return nnd spare the family the publicity. The always bland Hitchcock replied : "If either ou of yea attempt to leave thin room I will shoot you both. " The older Miss O'Halloran was obliged to return to Paris alone In spite of her entreat ies. The wretched girl xvas followed by this parting shot from Hitchcock i "If you return to disturb ma again I will send an account of this to every paper In America. " The sister returned , having been promised by her sister nn Interview the following day. Early yesterday morning the faithful woman returned to Chnutllly with the necessary tolletto articles for the girl. Mrs. Hitchcock left Purls last night to sail with friends on the City of Paris from Liverpool to-morrow. She will remain with the family of Hitchcock's brother at Narra- gansctt.

KiDon AOENOY , Duk. , ( via - Hush- lllu , Nob. , ) Juno 2-1. [ Special Telegram to TUB BBB. | Yesterday being Sunday , but ittlo was done. The Indians still continue liolalng numerous small councils , nnd almost continuously visit General Crook nnd Major \Vnrncr for Information upon points of the bill which nro still knotty problems to them. After thcso consultations many go directly to the agent's oulco and sign , making the out- ook for final success gradually grow brighter. These llttlo councils nro produe- ng a division among themselves which can only lead to making conversions in favor of the bill and getting many Indians Informed of Its merits , of which they know nothing before. Many Indians had mudo up heir minds to fight the bill before - fore the commission oven cumo , through the Influence of the old chiefs , and although the commission has taken the greatest pains to have the bill carefully and intelligently read over and ever again to them , they have nald but little attention to it. Thcso talks and. disputes have opened the eyes of many , and they are becoming advocates of the bill. American Horse and Turning Elawk openly advocate It after having spoken a number of rimes In council nirainst it. As at Rosebud , taking laud In severally is their great bug bear and the most dilllcult thing for them to understand , the idea prevailing that tha government will take all their laud from them which remains over their allotment. Tills morning a petition was started petition ing the commission and through it the gov ernment , with the provision that if they would sign this treaty that It would never nsk them to sell any moro of their land , but to deed to them forever , in a body , all laud loft over their allotment. The division of the commission , by which Governor Foster loft yesterday for Santee to secure signatures there , in the opinion of many white residents nnu half-breeds , was a mistake , us many Indians of the opposition seem to think it is a victory for thsm for a portion of the commission to leave. But this opinion must soon pass uwav , us the Indians are gradually realizing that the commission is hero to win in earnest , and tire laying a regular s'cge ' and beating thorn at their own game of strategy nnd diplomacy. The inter- lerenceofUed Cloud's young men as sol diers , interrupting nnd breaking up the coun cil when anyone spoke in favor of the bill , is one of the things of the past , as the police have orders to promptly arrest them. Major W. J. Polloclc , formerly Indian inspector specter , removed for speculating in Indian lands and property , will bo hero to-morrow. Ho cnuio as Hed Cloud's attorney and has great influence with Hed Cloud , us ho is the inspector who suspended McGillicuddy hero for corruption.
