PakRis, April 15.—The report from Dahomey that King Behanzin has seized Whydah, and captureda number of Europeans, including several nuns, willl hurry preparations by the Ministry to put down the rebellion against French authority there guaranteed by the De Courtny treaty. The nuns now in the bands of King Behan- zin are part ofa colony sent out some time ago with the view of assisting in educational and missionary work among the natives of Dahomey. The latest advices show thatthe Europeans at Whydah have been expecting trouble for some time, and that the nuns had been warned of their danger. They persisted however, in remaining. It is said thata number of native scholars and converts have also been carried off to Abomey, the capltal of Dahomey. and that the nuns may be com- pelled to witness the cruel sacrifice of those endeared tothem. Itis not believed, how- ever, tnat Behanzin will injure any of bis Luropean prisoners, but that tbey will prob- ably be held for ransom. Considerable anxiety is felt, however, on that question, as Behanzin isknownto be a man of violent temper, andthe situation of the prisoners during a war, as between the French and the Dahomeyans will be precarious. It is now beginning to be realized here that France basa big undertaking on her hands. The campaigns of the war of 1890 in Dahomey will haveto be repeated. At that time the King of the African Amazons attacked the town of Porto Novo, captured Whydah and threatened Kotonou, and, thoughthe Daho.- meyans were repulsed with much slaughter, it cost France the lives of many brave soldiers, The battles were ferce and bloody. The French forces were not large, perhaps four or five bundred, and the Dabomans were an army of six or seven thousand. But in spite of the repeating rifles and the assist- ance of a gunboat, the French hada difficult task in fighting off the Amazonian army from the coast and preventing them from occupy- ing Porto Novo. The dusky female warriors, to the number of 3,000, who led the advance, ‘ showed wonderful. courage. They charred with in¢redible fury. They came up im solid column to within 600 feet of the fort, and, in spite of the great gaps made by the musketry and the shells from the gunboat, they charged with blood-curdling yells right on to the wall, showering bullets from their old trade guns. Many of them fell dead among the French troops. Some already plerced by bayonets, rose up again and fought till they fell down from sheer exhaustion. But the French repeating rifles were too much for them. Amongthe Dabomans who fell was Allada, the female general of the Amazons. Dahomey is situated between Ashantee on the west and the Niger country of Africa and the German Cameroons onthe east. The annexations by the various powers have cut off the interior kingdoms from thesea. En- giand has the gold coast and the Niger coun- try, and the Germans the Cameroons. Long ago the Germans. English and French drew an imaginary line through the slave coast. Ihetwo former secured a firm foothold, and France was left totake the middle section, ifshecould. This section is a strip on the Gulf of Guinea, 100 miles wide, and includes the Kingdom of Porto Novo, with 140,000 inhabitants and a King, whichis de- scrited as the richest and best-cultivated territory on the Slave coast. Kotonou,the only available barboron the coast, was ceded to France some time ago, and through it all the commerce of Porto Novo, Whydah and other towns on the mainland was carried on. At Godorney and Aprekete, small towns near Kotonou, there are also French trading posts. The coast islow-lying, swampy, and the climate is one of the hottest and most humid tn the world. NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES. BECRETARY BLAINE INVOLVED IN THE CONTRO- VERSY—CORRESPONDENCE. &T. JOHNS, N. F., April 15.—In the course of debate on the resolution introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Morine Tuesday last, Mr. Morine, during the absence of the Colonial Secretary from the House, said that Mr. Bond had led the country to belfeve thatthe only concession given to American fishermen was the right to purchrse bait, whereas, asa matter of fact. he had bartered away the rights of Canadian fishermen. In support of this statement he quoted froma letter writ- ten by Sir Charlies. Tupper. Bond was in- formed of this charge by Mr. Morine upon his return, and as the opportunity to deny the same had passed during his absence, be immediately telegraphed to the Secretary of State ofthe United States respecting the matter as follows: St. JOHNS, Newfoundland, April 6. Hon. James G. Blaine, Washington: Morine, leader of the opposition, has asserted in the Legislature upon the authority of Sir Charles Tupper that you stated at the conference held with Tupper and Pauncefote on April 2, 1891, thatI had expressed the intention of this Government to ex- clude Canadians from buying bait. I appreciate that this is pure fabrication on the part of upper made with intention to influence the nonefication of the convention by Imperial Government, and I wouyld thank you to wire me reply. BOND, Colonial Secretary. The following is given outas the reply re- ceived: , Bond, Colonial Seoretarr, St. Johns, Newfound- land: 1 never stated to Tupper that you had expressed the intention of your Government to exclude Cana- dians from bait. You mever said anything of the kind tome. Pauncefote,, who was present at the Tupper interview says po, such thing was said or alluded to. BLAINE. An Ottawa Gispatch states that the Domii- ion government have abandoned all hope of effecting a reconciliation with Newfoundland and in ‘order to enable them to retaliate against the aggressive policy which the New- foundland government has directed against Canadian hing vessels, Minister of Marine Tupper has introduced a bill which gives the government power to retaliate against New- foundland vessels entering Canadian waters. in the same way that Canadian vessels in the waters of that colony are dealt with. VENEZUELA REBELLION. TWO VESSELS CAPTURED BY THE INSURGENTS— SOUTH AMERICAN NEWS.

This is rded by Gen. Crespo’s fc Es is 4 5 by, ee ? Maj. Bernard’s bugler announced it at Brown’s Valley, and as the bugle notes were sounded from a hill top on the boundary, the rapid firing of muskets carried the word along the line and the homeseekers, whom much waiting and worrying and hard fare had ap- parently exhausted, seemed endowed with new life and started off in the race for homes in what they confidently believe the richest lands on earth. The mud had no terrors, and pools of water, even small lakes, did not dis- may them, but all were off in the madrush for land at $2.50 an acre after fourteen months’ of residence. The scene as the signal was given was pict- turesque, As noon approached a cavalry bugler withalong yellow plume streaming from his helmet anda brand new bugle sus- pended from his shoulder by a bright yellow cord rode tothe crest of the hill which sep- grates Brown’s Valley trom the _ Sisseton Reservation. Scattered along in uneven line to the north and south of him were three companies of cavalry, each man fully armed with saber, revolver, carbine. Back of these were grouped or rather herded, a hetero- eneous mass of men—white, yellow and Siack—all nationalities of the Caucassian race, witha liberal mixture of half-breeds and negroes. There were women in the crowd, too, and here and there could be seen a baby heid in the arms of its mother aS she sat on her horse determined to be one of the fifst to enter the promised land which was to be opened to-day. As all nationalities and races of men were represented so were colors. A splen- did Kentucky thoroughbred which showed his blue grass ancestry in the small muscle an carried a man who thrown aside everything which could impede him in the ride for the reservation. Next to him, ona wiry broncho, wasa half-breed who saton his horseasif a part of it. Further down the line, true to his ancient traditions, was a huge negro, black as charcoal, astride a diminutive mule. All were im- patient ror the race to begin. As the sun neared the meridan Maj. Ber- nard glanced at bis watch, The bugler lifted his instrument to hislips and the crowd of land seekers gathered up their reins and awaited the signal. At last -_.

An Illinois Central Train Robbed in Mississippi. The Express Car Entered and About $4,000 Carried Off. THE GLENDALE STYLE CLOSELY COPIED BY THE BRIGANDS. Passengers in the Coaches Not Visited But Badly Alarmed by the Fusilade of Pistol Shots Firei by the Robbers— Bloodhounds on the Trail of the Orimi- » nals—Their Capture Almost Certain— They All Wore Masks. New OnpRans, April 15.—In the regulation style of the James and Glendale gangs a pas- senger and express train on the Illinois Cen- tral was held up and robbed within less than a hundred miles of New Orleans last night. It was passenger No. 2, which left this city at 6o0’clock p.m. It was in charge of Engineer James anda Conductor Robertson. When the train reached Hammond Station a man boarded the engine. To the surprise of the engineer and fireman the uninvited passenger thrust Into their faces a big gleaming pistol. The men were ordered to go ahead and the command was obeyed. Passenger train No. 2 was scheduled to meet No. 8at Independence and to take the siding at that point. When No. 2 reached Independence the siding was taken and the switch barely locked when the southward- bound train came thundering along. It is not customary for trains to stop at meeting- points, and the. south-bound train went on its way to New Orleans without the slightest knowledge that the train which it left behind was about to be robbed. THE TRAIN ROBBED. The south-bound train had barely got by when men appeared at the side of the engine. Like the bandit who was covering the engl- neer and fireman with his pistol the four men were masked. They had evidently been waiting at this point, which had been agreed upon as the place of robbery. They compelled the engineer and fireman to go tothe express carand order the mes- senger to open the doors. The messenger did not do so and entrance was affected from the west side ofthe car. The meSsenger, after hiding in the stove several valuable pack- ages, made his escape. The robbers kept everyone inside of the coaches and sleepers by a constant fusilade until their work was completed. Neither the passengers nor mails were disturbed. After the highwaymen were through with the robbery they made the engineer cover his headlight and back down about 200 yards, whea they ordered him to go ahead. on the train can give a good description of the robbers. They were apparently young men, twoof them had full beards and all were very poorly dressed. On entering the car they assaulted the baggagemaster by striking him on the side of the head with a revolver, saying he was with the express- man and that he hadthe money. He plead- ed with them and they did not harm him any more, The safe was emptied of its contents, the robbers disappeared after firing a volley to complete the intimidation of the crew and passengers, andthe train proceeded on its way north. When it reached Tangipahoa the news was Laps bing tage back to this city. At the express Office in this mete it is said that less than $5,000 was obtained by the bandits. Officials of the Illinois Central and Southern Express Co. here are in communication with Sheriffs at points along the lineof the road near the scene of the robbery, and it 1s be- lieved the robbers will be run down before nightfall. The country for miles around In- dependence, where the train was side- tracked, is smooth, with no impediments to obstruct the posse with bloodhounds in over- taking the robbers. TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS. Special Agent F. D. Jackson of the South- ern Express Co. wasin Jackson, Miss., last night on other business, when he received word of the robbery. He immediately secured a pack of blood hounds from the Mississippi penitentiary. Boarding the train with them, he arrived at the scene at 3 o’clock this morning. Jackson is the man who tracked to his lairand eventually capt- ured the redoubtable Rube Burrows, fe also worked up the train robbery at Durant, Miss., and succeeded in capturing and con- victing the three perpetrators of that crime. Agent Pardee of the Southern Express Co. in this city said this morning he did not .know how many packages had been taken by the robbers; but acknowledged that a few pacKages containing jewelry, and afew containing lottery tickets, and a few the contents of which he did not know, were secured. He éstimates the loss will be about $4,000 including the Jewelry stolen. : There were five men in the gang, allof whom wore masks and were poorly dressed, but beyond this their identity is not known. Up tol o’clock this afternoon Supt. Fisher of the Southern Express had not recelvedjword of the capture of thejrobbers, although the bloodhounds had struck their trail and were in hot pursuit. JACKSON OFFICERS IN PURSUIT. Jackson, Miss., April 15.—Upon receipt of the news last night that the north-bound cannon-ball train on the Illinois Central Railroad had been held up and the ex- press messenger robbed near Tangi- pahoa, Agent Webb here dispatched a special traintothe scene of the robbery. Besides express Officials, Detective T.. J. Jackson was in the went along, taking his blood hounds, ing has en heard from them as yet. The robbery took place in Eugene Punche’s territory, .but the neral idea, based on the fact t there were five robbers, is that it was the work of. amateurs. Nothing reliable can be learned as to the amountof money secured A GY igh as $40,000, f robbers. Rumors place it as which is probably an exaggeration. INHUMAN CRUELTY.

The record was filed, as appears froma statement on the back of the document, on the 7th of November, 18383, and was tran- scribed to page 254, vol. 28, of the court records. Judge McCaffrey. explained that ... Mrs, Pritchard had been married three times, ‘Mrs. Pritchard No. é the first time toa man named Shires and the second time to a man named Sweet. With. the evidence before him andacer tified copy of Mr. Pritchard’s marriage in Belleville, Ill., iast week, Mr. Estep could ‘not do otherwise than issue the document applied for, namely, a Warrant for the arres of Joseph-F. Pritchard on the charge : f bigamy. Shortly after 12 o’clock this after- noon the paper was in the hands of the Sheriff. Justice McCaffrey said this morning that Mrs. Pritchard had $10,000 when she married Joe and that he had gone through it all, There is a question as to whether or not Pritchard can be prosecuted for bigamy in Missouri, as neither marriage occurred in this State, but Mr. Estep holdsthat all that it will be necessary to prove is that Pritchard and 3 have lived together in this State as man and wife. The section of the statutes under which Pritchard is to be prosecuted is See. 3792 of art. 8 of chap. 47 of the Revised Statutes and reads as follows: Sec, 3792, Every person having 4 husband or wife living who shall mares another person without this State, in any case where such marriage would be unishable if contracted or solemnized within this tate, and shali afterward cohabit with such other —— within this State, shall be adjudged guilty of igamy and punished in the same manner as if such marriage had taken place within this State. MRS. SIMPSON’S STATEMENT. A call was made at No. 3147 Dickson street, where Mrs. Pritchard, No. 1, resf{des with her aunt, Mrs. Simpson. Mrs. Pritchard was not at home and Mrs. Simpson said that she had very little information to give. ‘‘I know the documents arrived here from Milwaukee on Wednesday, aid that tney included the secon . Mames of the witnesses and the marriage cer- ~ tificates. Whatthe names were or any de- tails concerning the papers,I do not know.’’ Further than this, Mrs. Simpson knew nothing. PRITCHARD SBEN, A POST- DISPATCH reporter called at Pritch- ard’s residence, 1020 North ‘Twenty-first street, to ask him what answer he had to make to the evidence of Mrs. Pritchard of Dickson street. Mr. Pritchard was notat home and the re- rter said he would wait until he came. he newsgather was ushered into the rear arlor, andinafew minutes Mr. and Mrs. ritchard entered the house by a side entrance which opened into the dining- room. Thereporter was asked to step into the dining-room to see Mr, Pritchard. ‘*‘Mr. Pritchard, Mrs. Pritchard of Dickson street secured a warrant for bigamy against to-day on the strength of the certificate of her marriage to you Sept. 23, 1883, at Mil- She also has the _ testtmony minister who officiated, Sabin Halsey. What have you to say to that?’’ The anhouncement shocked Mr. Pritchard and his wife who stood beside him. —But after a minute’s de- lay, he denied the charges and the reporter yet to withdraw, .At that moment the ont door bell rang and Mrs. Pritchard hastened to answer it. The reporter fol- wed after her as if to leave at the same time. But Mr. Pritchard called him back to the dressing-room. Mr. Pritchard had a pre- mnoition’ that the Caller had come on an unwelcome visit, 80 he hurried the reporter up the back stairs. At the head of the front ptairs the reporter and Mr. Pritchard listened * the interview between Mrs. Pritchard and , my ; Mfrs.

Mr. Pritchard ' “however, did not reckon on so hasty a nee ' golf ~ $hat you are. fr the bond and at that instant the horror of ’ face. in the holdover stared him in the ‘if I could only reach Chris,’’ he said. **Oh, now I have it!’’ exclaimed to the re r. ‘*You go down there, palm your- for me a #0 3=Ewith herif to the Four Courts. ou will be réleaséed as soon as they see who Thetilcan hurry out to Chris’ as goon as you leave.’’ The brillianey of this idea did not strike the rter with the same force that it did Mr. J Prichatd : The ex- publisher and present sporting cor- respondent looked very much crestfallen when he saw how fiat his proposition had fallen. Then came a noise in the gide yara and near the dining-room door. ett you do not admit me I will batter down the door!’’ yelled the sherif.

From the Portiand Argus. ‘*The best protection a young woman Can havein this city,’’ said a big policeman re- cently, ‘‘is one of those little silver crosses that the King’s Daughters wear. I’ve noticed that nowadays the professional masher will look first at the bosom of a woman’s dress, and if that littie cross is dangling from a button-hole, he passes her withouteven a stare. It’s the same way on the street cars as onthestreet. The young woman who wears one of those badges has ot the whole carload of men to take care of erand jump on the fellow that dares to an- noy her. Thecross is getting to be looked on with the same respect and deference as a nun’s garb. As a safeguard it beats the average policeman all hollow,.’’ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Marriage Licenses.

The Haunted House of the Catacombs— Wild Dance of the Dishes. From La Revue Spirite A worthy woman, 66 years old, Mme, Boll, who lives In a small room on the ground floor of 88 Rue Du Coudelic, has been thoroughly terrified by the events which have recently taken place at her house. Furniture, glass, dishes, tables, globdés and other objects have been broken, thrown down on the floor with an infernal notse, while along the wall it has seemed a shower of sand has been flowing, Mme. Boll has been living with two orphans whom she took to bring up, a little boy of 12 and little girl ofi4, Sunday evening, while she was awaiting the return of the children, who were at the theater, she turned quickly around on hearing the sound of broken glass. lt was a water pitcher wnich had just been broken into fragments. She had no time to rise to examine the causeof the breaking before a bow] on the table described the arc of a circle and was brokenin the room, Then there occurred a wild dance of the dishes and glassware. A globe, under which Mme. Bollused to keep carefully the garland of orange flowers which she wore on her marriage, was broken into four pieces. The - eine ta lamp was broken witha dull sound. Being now thoroughly alarmed she called for nore. Aheighbor, Mme. Bertha Muller, immediately came with M. Gueneur, an op- tical instrument maker, who lives in tlie apartments overthat of Mme, Boll. The phenomena haying at that time ceased,these people gave little credit to the story told them. They believed that the tenant of the ground floor had gone crazy suddenly. But in a moment two engravings in frames under glass, harging onthe walls, fell; a vessel came from the washstand darting out into the room, and was broken near the entrance door. Amazed, M. Gueneur tried to fathom the mystery. Hesoundedthe walls, opened the cupboards, examined the floor. Noth- ing! All being restored toorder, Mme. Boll went to bed trembling,anda part of the night passed without incident. The adopted son of the o14 lady went to bed likewise, About3o’clock inthe morning he was awakened by the noise of breaking glass. He arose and lighted a taper and discovered that the copper ball of his iron :bedstead had been removed, thrown through the glass por- tion of the entrance Coor and alighted near the pump in the court, In consequence of this henomenon, Mme. Boll concluded to call in he commissary of police in the morning. He like the rest began to laugh, and asked her if she was not subject to halluncinations. Nevertheless upon the clear statements of Mme. Boll he betook himself to 38 Rue Cou- delic. He had nodifficulty inassuring him- self ofthe truthofthe story ofthe devasta- tion which had béen produced. For his bene- fitthe phenomena were reproduced before him. He had to prevent a cupboard of dishes and glassware from falling; he was present whena dance ofthe chairs and tables took place Which seemed to be moved by an elec- tric machine, Heiter than all this, the com- missary had closed the door behind him and it was impossible for him to openit, andhe was compelled to go out through the window, These facts were confirmed by several per- sons whose names are given in sa Revue Spirite. The alarm on the commode took its own time to go off. Set for 6 o’clock, it com- menced going at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and struck 6. To this communication the editor of the Rerue makes a note to the effect that the groups of spirits are too excit- able, rush pell-mell—evoke the Spirits, at- tempt to make investigations without any method, and so do not obtain any results of scientific value, He adds: ‘*The spirits, our guides, do not occasion these phenomena for spiritists; they above all things want to in- vite'the skeptics to investigate the truth of these matters. Let us leave the materialists to make for themselves a satisfactory inves- tigation on this subject without our too geal- ous and toéo fmhterested intervention, which destroys free research.’’ CURES LIKE ONE DIVINE. A Beautiful Mexican Girl Who Is Said to Have Great Powers. From the Philadelphia Telegraph. It is nearly four month¢ since reports began to spread of the miraculous cures of all dis- eases effected by a young Mexican woman named Theresa Urrea, who lives on the Santa de Cabera ranch, about one hundred and fifty miles west of Guayinas, Mexico, in the heart of the Sierra Madra Mountains. The nearest town toher home is Trinidad, some fifteen miles away. Shecures by the simple laying on of hands and is called a saint by the thou- sands of ignor@nt Mexicans and Indians who have learned of her wonderful powers. The scene at the humble ranch baffles de- scription. Living in improvised jacals and tents all along the mountain side from Trini- dad tothe woman’s home were thousands of decrepit, diseased and haggard-looking Mexi- cans, who were patiently awaiting their turn to be cured of their aMflictions. St. Theresa, assheis called, is 17 years of age, has a strikingly béautiful face, straight black hair, and dresses In the plainest Kind of a woolen garment. She said she Was first made aware of her wonderful power five months ago, and, while she firmly believes it.is a divine gift, yet she is at a loss to account for it being ag to her any more than to any one else, he performs her cures by merely laying her hand on the head of the person afflicted, and giving the command to arise and depart in ealth. Astream of unfortunate sick people poured through her room during the cor. respondent’s visit, among them being men and women afflicted with rheumatism and many cripples, Every one who has submitted to her treat- ment claimsto have been instantly cured. Three Cases of leprosy and seven of small- pox are among those which the woman says she has cured. She will accept no money or gift of any kind in payment for her services. The States of Sonora and Chihuahua are excited over the unexplained power which Theresa Urrea seems to possess. RETURNING A VISIT. How a Yankee General Got Even With His Rebel Friend, From the Youth’s Companion. Gen. Fitz-Hugh Lee, of the Confederate Army, had beena class-mateat West Point with Gen, Averill, the commander of the cav- airy of the Army of the Potomac, and the two men were warm personal friends. In Decem- ber, 1862, Gen. Lee attacked the Union out- posts at Hart wood Chareh and defeated them. Un retiring he left a sur behind with the wounded, and with him a note for Gen, Averill, which ran something like this: DEAR AVERILL—I wish you would u ur sword, leave my Beate and go Lene toe elas a good horse, I ride a better. You can beat mine run- ning. you won't home, return my visit and bring me a sack of coffees, Yours, Fitz. Three months afterward Gen. Averill ob- tained permission from Gen.

DETAILS OF AN IMPORTANT SECRET POLITICAL CONFERENCE. Conclusion Reached That Harrison Could Not Be Re-Elected—Blaine Conceded to Be a Physical Wreck-—Indiana Sup- porters of Cleveland and Gray in Har- mony—Campaign Cullings. New YorK; April 15.—Possibly the most momentous conference held in New York State since the presedential campaign of 1888 was that which occurred last night at the home of Mr. Cornelius N. Bliss, 198 Madi- son avenue. Fora weekit had been known to a few Republican politicians here in New York City that Mr. Bliss had sent out invita- tions for the assembly, and by last night the news had become commontalk atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr. Bliss in his invitations announced that he would like to meet the gentlemen invited athishome last evening. They were wel- comed to d@dinner and they were told they were to come prepared to discuss the coming national ticket of the Republican party and to fuggest methods for a victorious out- come. Among others present issaid to have been ex-Senator Miller, and thé conclusion is said tohave been reached that Harrison, if re- nominated, could not be elected. The con- census of opinion as to its conclusion is said to have been that the strongest ticket for the coming campaign, barring Blaine, who it is thought was disqualified by ill-health, would be McKinley of Obio and the host of the even- ing, Cornelius N, Bliss. CONVENTIONS. CLEVELAND AND HARRISON FIRST CHOICE OF THEIR PARTIES. Bostox, Mass., April 15.—The Eleventh Massachusetts District Democratic Conven- tion has unanimously adopted a resolution declaring ‘‘Our conviction that the best in- terests of the party and country demand the nomination and election of Grover Cleveland for President, and that under his leadership the rinciples of De- mocracy will again win a glorious victory.’’ The Ninth District Democratic State Congressional QGonvention adopted resolutions indorsing David B. Hill as the Democratic standard bearer, after a warm debate. The Sixth District Democratic Con- Vention tochoose delegates to Chicago to- day adopted a resolution indorsing Grover Cleveland, Cleveland delegates were chosen in the Second Democratic Congressional Dis- trict Convention to-day. _ IN ILLINOIS. Cuicaco, ll., April 15.—The Seventeenth District lilinois Democrats have unanimously renominated Edward Lane,the present in- cumbent, for Congress. Herman E. Taube- neck, Chairman of the National People’s party Executive Committee, presided atthe meeting of the farmers of ,the Sixteenth IIlt- nolis Congressional District. Thomas Kat- cliffe was nominated for Congress, Taubeneck having declined the nomination, which was offered him. ALLISON’S BOOM. HE SIDETRACKS IT HIMSELF AND ADVOCATES HARRISON. CHICAGO, lil., April 15.—‘‘No, sir, lam not pa candidate forthe presidential nomination; in fact, I will frankly say I have not heard myname mentioned forthe place.’’ Senator William B. Allison atthe Grand Pacific Hotel laugheda merry laugh, while his fine eyes twinkied as he shattered that which might have been a boom for himself. The Senator was inamerry mood, and after he had side- tracked himself he launched outin a talk very flattering to President Harrison, whose renomination he professed to regard as al- most a foregone conclusion. The Senator Said he was gatisfied that the Iowa delegation was for Harrison, andthat Mr. Blaine’s name will not be used tn the convention. The Senator denied that there was any sig- nificance in his conference here last Sunday with Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin, and several politicians of prominence. It was re- ported at the time that a deal had been con- summated by which Vice-President Morton would be renomipated, and Allison and Cul- lom throw their gtremgth to Harrison for first lace, being rewarded with cabinet pasitions n the event of the President’s capturing the nomination and winning at the polls. DIFFERENCES SETTLED. INDIANA SUPPORTERS OF CLEVELAND AND GRAY IN HARMONY. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 15.—Important results were reached last night at a confer- ence ofall the leading Cleveland and Gray representatives in Indiana, with the Demo- cratic State Central Committee and the Executive Committee ofthat body. It was agrecd that the most influential representa- tives of the Cleveland and Gray elements should goto the State convention and urge the adoption of a resolution indorsing Cleve- Jand’s administration, declaring that tariff reiorm should be the leading’ issue of the coming campaign and upon that issue that Mr, Cleveland would be the logical candidate for the Chicago Con- vention, also testifying the confidence felt for Gov. Gray, that he was worthy of the highest honors, and that inthe event of the Chicago Convention failing to nominate Mr. Cleve- land that the Indiana delegates endeavor to effect Gray’s nomination by every honorable effort within their power. Such resolutions will undoubtedly be passed. Senator Turple will be Chairmanof the convention and the delegates-at-large will be Senator Voorhees, ex-Chairman ©. and 8, E. Morse. Gov. Gray was present last night at the meeting. POWDERLY’S POSITION.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.—Advices from Samoa by steamer, dated March 31, state that Chief Justice Cedercrantz and President Von Senft, of the Municipal Council have ap- plied to King Malletoato write a letter re- quiring that allmoney paid into the munl- cipal funds for customs duties should be handed over to the Samoan Government. When the customs question was first started, the opinian of the Chief Justice was asked both by the Council and by Consuls whether the customs belonged to the Samoan Govern- ment ortothe municipility. Thg Chief Jus- tice decided that the revenue Went to the municipality. The reversal of the original decision is ascribed to the fact that the Samoan ‘Treasury is lacking in funds. The Samoan Government has man- aged to expend $28,000 in United States coin and all it has to show therefor isa resi- dence for the President of the Council, cost- ing $5,000, anda jail which cost $1,200. No statement of expenditures, as required by the Berlintreaty, has been made bythe Presi- dent. The first intimation the citizens and Council had of an intention to divertthe rev- enue was at the last meeting of the Council, when the question of expending about $10,000 on public works recommended by the Public Works Committee was brought up and passed unanimously by the Council, the President alone objecting on the ground that the Coun- cil might not have funds to carry it out. The councillors understood there was $21,000 in gold in the treasury and asked the President for an explanation, which the latter declined to give. Considerable discussion followed, the President losing histemper. Whenthe Con- suls met to discuss the resolutions by the Council two ofthe Consuls voted against the desired improvements. onthe ground that as the municipality would lose the customs revenue, they were not justified in making improvements that could not be paid for. One Consul claimed $9,000 a year was ample revenue for carrying on the municipality, but tbe British Consul pronounced this statement absurd, placing the amount at $20,000. The idea of taking funds fromthe municipality is to pay the faipule (the members of the Government) and magistrates a salary. It has been seri- ously considered by some leading citizens as to the advisability of seizing the treasury and putting a trustworthy person in charge, bonds to be given that the money will be roperly expended, also that a petition be orwarded tothe treaty powers, asking that the whole matter be investigated. On May 15 the Samoans-will be in arrears $130,000. Not one dollar, it is claimed, can ever becol- lected. Some of the members of the Government say Malietoa is expected tocome to Apia soon. United States Consul-General Sewell leaves for the United States on account of ill-health, and Vice-Consul Blacklock will act as consul.

NEW YorK, April 15.—The heavy rain-storm which began in this city about 4 o’clock yes- terday afternoon continued until shortly after midnight, when it turned to snow and hail, which kept on falling until 3 o’clock this morning. The snow melted as it fell, consequently the interruption to traffic was slight, although a few minor accidents from trifling collisions onthe river have been re- ported, nothing serious has so far been an- nounced. To-day the weather is Clearing, with a cold northwesterly wind. lhree inches of snow fell dnring the night in New Jersey. Much damage has been done in the farming section in this vicinity. At Baltimore the rain storm of yesterday and last night became a sleet storm this morning, making necessary a postponement of the scheduled base ball game. TWO RIVERS RISING. CHARLESTON, Mo., April 15.—The Ohio and Mississippi Rivers are rising rapidly and fears of a generaland disastrous overflow are en- tertained. Miles of wheat land are now under water to a depth varying from one to ten feet and hundreds of cattle are: said to have perished. TRACKS UNDER WATER. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 15.—The water continued to rise all day yesterday, and if it keeps up another twelve hours the city must be partially flooded. Already a large portion of the Northern Pacific tracks are under water, and the electric light and gas compa- nies’ premises are within a shade of being flooded. Should the water rise alittle more the town will be in darkness. Advices from St. Vincent, .merson and other points up the river say that the water is rising all along and the danger of a flood is increasing. PENSION INQUIRY. Bussey a Voluntary Witness— Charges Warmly Denied, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—Gen. Bussey, Assistant Secretary ofthe Interior, was a voluntary witness before the Special Pension Office Investigating Committee ofthe House this morning, Gen. Bussey’s object in coming before the committee was to take ex- ception toa statement made by Greene B, Raum, Jr., yesterday. Gen. Bussey denied with some warmth the statement made, and concluded his remarks by asking the members of the committee to judge for themselves who spoke the truth, young Raum or himself. He alsospoke in the highest terms of Mr. Engle’s character and ability. F. C, Pack, Assistant Chief of Division in the Pension Office, corroborated the state- ment madein Engle’s affidavit that young Raum ,had telephoned Engle at the office making an engagement with him. Mr. Peck said he answered the op ee oy message of young Raum, and called Engle to the tele- phone toanswerthe former. Engle, after answering onthe instrument, told witness that young Raum wanted to meet him on the street, and would for a $50 loan use his influence to get him promoted, and Engle asked witness for permission to leave the office to meet Raum. Witness let Engle off, but at the same time cautioned him that he would not secure his promotion on the strength of the loan. W.E. Stieff of the Pension Office testified. that he had spent a great sage 4 days in an- swering calls made upon the Pension Office by Dunbar, the Congressional opponent of Congressman Cooper of Indiana. Also that other clerks had been specially assigned to this duty. Gen. North 8t. Louis.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 15.—Considerable excitement prevails in and about the Lehigh Valley shops here over the orders issued by the Reading combine, under which hundreds | of workmen are to work only half time until further orders. All work was suspended at the shops and roundhouses here this morning for the balance of this week. There are some 336 persons employed inthe shops, of which many are affected by the half time order. The men are of the opinion that work will only continue three iy a week hereafter and how long this will in operation is no known, as there are no indications whether it is temporary or permanent. WAYS OF THE SUGAR TRUST. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 15.—There is much depression among the 600 employes of Spreckles’ big sugar refinery, which shut down Thursday. Although it was announced that the closing was only temporary the workmen are generally of the opinion that it willbe months before the big Kettles and cauldrons will again be filled. A dealer, who is well informed on the subject, said: ‘*The shut down was not caused by overproduc- tion. Inquiry at the office will show that they have but one brandon hand. The main object in getting a restriction placed on the hepa p= isto keep the prices up to the imit. Itisalso possible that steps will be ay to close down the remaining refineries ere.’ WILL CELEBRATE MAY Il, AMSTERDAM, April 15.—The workingmen here and at Rotterdam, Harlem, the Hague, Flushing and other places in the Netherlands are making arrangements to celebrate the Ist of May. ‘The day will be observed in most of the places bythe holding of open air meet- ings.

HUMPHREY’S SPRING OPENING. An Elegant Display of Gentlemen’s and and Boys’ Clothing. Such weather as is in vogue to-day must have been in the mind of the poet Lowell when he wrote: We may shut our eyes, but we cannot help knowing That the skies are blue and the grass is growing. Spring is a self-evident fact, but if there be any who doubt that spring is really here their doubts will be dispelled by the perusal of the ‘‘Pastoral Symphony’’ of Humphreys on the eighth page of this issue. Such an idyllic composition would of itself bring balmy weather. The announcement affords a suggestion of large preparation for the brightness and an owe ow pr naturally succeed the som- erness of Lent, and befittingthe reputation of F. W. Humphrey & Co. This house is everywhere recognized as admitted authority on styles for gentlemen and as leading fashionable clothiers in this region, It is understood that in order to make this demonstration, Humphrey has not only ransacked America, but has made a prodigious raid on the Buropean markets, and the house has coilected an assortment thatit would be very hard to match anywhere else. Every conceivable need of the manly sex, fromthe most stylish gentleman down tothe boy with trousers, and even younger, can be supplied. For all these, an particularly for gentlemen and young men, Humph- rey’s specialty is fine tallored cloth- ing—choice fabrics wedded to faultiess fashion in such manner as to please the most fastidious. Costly thy apparel as thy purse can buy, was Polonius’ advice to Laertes. Humphrey, using the same thought, will not only please allastostyle, but can also make the sult fit the purse. Besides the regular lines of clothing and furnishings. attention is called toa series of novelties, which willenable those who de- sire to be especially inthe fashion on Easter to indulge that wish. These embrace a peculiarly superb stock of neckwear, etc., every leading style in the world of fashion being represented. The window display at Humphrey’s is per- hapsthe most elaborate and elegant ever seen in St. Louls, and is worth going very far to see. CASUALTIES, Fatal Collision Between Horse and Cable Cars. CuIcAGO, Ill., April 15.—A Cottage Grove avenue cable grip car crashed into a Forty- third street horse car this morning, probably fatally injuring two passengers, John Collins and Michael Leonard. The two car lines are both surface roads and cross each other at right angles. A misunderstanding between thecar driver and the gripmanas to which had the rightof way caused the accident. The horse car, of which Collins and Leonard were the only occupants. was,completely de- stroyed. RUMORED DISASTER. CLEVELAND, O., April 15.—A rumor is cur- rent here to the effect that the steam yacht Wade-end, with J. H. Wade, Jr., and his family on board, foundered in the Mediter- ranean and that all hands were lost. The re- rt came in a private telegram from Boston. Mr. Wade’s friends have been endeavoring during the past twelve hours to communicate with him by cable, but have not succeeded in finding any trace of the Wadena after her entrance into the Mediterranean Sea. INJURED IN A COLLISION. GRENADA, Miss., April 15.—By a collision near here this morning the private car of Mr. E. P.

RELIGIOUS NEWS. Status of Odd Fellows in the Catholic Church—Missionary Work. BaLTmmoreE, MG., April 15.—A peculiar dis- cussion that has.arigen since the Odd Fellows invaded the Catholic district is in regard to the standing of their order among the Catho- lics. It hasbeen said’ by some persons that Catholics could joim it, and the result has been a number Of interviews with church authorities. The opinion that is given is that Catholics cannot remain members of the order, although they will not be excom- municated for having joined it, provided they resign and do penance. ‘*‘The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is condemned,’’ saysthe professor of moral theology at St. Mary’s seminary, ‘‘but the Catholic Odd Fellows are not excommuni- cated, and the confessor can absolve a member of the church who has joined the order and who promises to withdraw.’’ The Odd Fellows themselves seem uncon- cerned about the discussion, as their mem- bership is Protestant. On thé 2th of this month the Odd Fellows will dedicatethe new hall which they have erected right in the heart of the Catholic dis- trict of this city. It is a half a square below the Catholic cathedral and on the same square as one of the largest Catholic churches ofthe city, and directly below the new home of one of the Catholic orders. It is a large four-story bullding, admirably adapted to the use of the society. The independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded in Baltimore, and a monument to its founderis one of the orna- mentsof the city’s parks. Efforts will be made to bring back the Inter n ational head- quarters to Baltimore, where they were for over a half century. Rev. Father John Slattery withdraws to- day from St. Joseph’s Foreign Missionary Society, or as it is better known, the Order of St. Joseph, as an active member. A new order will be formed by Father Slattery to carry on the Catholic work among the col- ored people, and will be under the direction of Cardinal Gibbons. The Josephites will continue their present work, however. Bishop Vaughn of Engiand is the head of the order. He believes better work can be done among the colored people of the United States by American priests who know their rome than by foreign clergymen, however ealous., against chargin Enge of RUMOR DENIED. MILWAUKE®S, Wis., April 15.—Father Clem- ery of Kenosha has written a letter stating that he is in receipt of a communication from Archbishop Ireland, in which the latter states that there is no foundation to the re- port that he {fs to be made a Cardinal, HAS NEW EVIDENCE. Grounds on Which the Mercnntile Tel- egraph Co.’a President Asks a New Trial. Charles F. Joy, E48. Robert and Wm. C. Jones, attorneys of President J. H. Town- send of the Mercantile Telegraph Co., were gathered in the Court of Criminal Correction to-day to argue their motion fora new trial for their client. Judge Claiborne, however, refused to hear them onthe ground that no date had been fixed: The case will not come until next Friday. The attorneys for Mr. Townsend are confident thatthey willsecure anew trial and that their client will be acquitted. The say that they have sworn affidavits to the ef- fectthatthe Mercantile Telegraph Co. held no money bet on any race andthat Frank W. Shaw, the St. Paul bookmaker, had received from the telegraph company the money bet before the race was run, They also claim to be able to prove the finding of the court in regard to stakeholders and depositories against the law. A new trial is asked for eleven different reasons. The first ten are the general reasons that illegal evidence was admitted, and legalevidence excluded, that the evi- dence was insufficient and the finding of the court was against the law and evidence, etc. The eleventh, and last reason, contains the meat of the motion. It asks a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence, It reads as follows: **and for the further ground that since the trial of said cause, the defendant has discov- ered new and material evidence In his behalf which was newto him at the time of said trialor in’ such time in advance thereof as would have enabled him to introduce or ob- tain the same, and that said newly dis- covered evidence is that Frank G. Minor, whoitsthe manager of the Mercantile Tele- graph ©o., resident in the city St. Paul, Minn., and also that the manager of the Turf Exchange {In said city of St. Paul, whose name is to the defendant unknown, which said evidence is to the effect that thesum of $ . delivered to the defendant on March 146, the prosecuting witness, C., was actually trans- mittead on to st. Paul and ordered to be paid to Frank N. Shaw, that said money was so paid to said Shaw, in the city of St. Paul, om said day, by said Mercan- tile Telegraph Co., as will more fully and at large appear by the affidavits of said persons to be filed in support of this motion.’’ Mr. Townsend denies that a ruling of the court in his favor would mean the reopening of Pool Alley. He says that the telegraph companies will not lease wires to parties wishing to do the same business as that in which he is engaged. Court of Criminal Correction. Frank B. Engle, charged with abandoning his wife, was arraigned in the Court of Crim- inal Correction to-day and, being found guilty, was fined $200and costs.

Loxpon, April 15.—Information has been received here that an engagement has taken piace between the forces of the Ameer of Afghanistan, commanded by Pholam Khan, the Ameer’s Generalissimo, and a force of the Khan ot Junoal. The latter was defeated. and the Afghan force captured the town of Asmar. By this victory the Ameer is enabled to command the Dora Pass, one of the two passes leading through the Pamir country to India. The other pass ig held by the British. This is regarded asa very important piece of news at the Foreign Office in view of the statement imputed to the Ameer by a dis- patch from Bombay a few days. ago that he distrusted the professed friendship of Russia. The Ameer said that Russia only wants Af- ghanistan asa highroad to India, and would place the Afghans in the van of her army as a special target for English cannons and rifles. The Russians would strip the Afghans of their arms and of food, and would outrage and murder their women, because they must destroy the Afghans to obtain India. Therefore the Ameer declares that friendship between the Russians and Afghans is next to impossible. The holding of the Dora Pass blocks Russia’s design ‘on the much-coveted Pamir country. ITALY SATISFIED. REPARATION AMPLE FOR THE KILLINGS-—LON- DON PRESS COMMENT. Rome, April 15.—The newspapers of this morning contain editorials on the settlement of the New Orieans difficulty. They are unanimous in expressing satisfaction with the terms offered by the. United States Gov- ernment andthe acceptance of the same by Italy, andthe hope is earnestly expressed that the friendly relations now resumed, will never be interrupted in the future. The London 7Jimes to-day,commenting upon the settlement of the questions in dispute between [taly and the United States, says: Upon a great Christian anniversary like Good Friday itisoften difficult to find in the rec- ords of current events anything that very distinctly shows the influence of Christianity upon international conduct, To-day, how- ever, we have to chronicle what is, at least, one of the most benign and gracious forms of diplomatic action. Thisisthe amicable set- tlement of the dispute between Italy and the United States. The thing is all the more precious because Mr. Blaine is not, perhaps, quite the first flower of Christian chivalry. Italy is a State too far apart from the United States for the breaking off of diplomatic intercourse to induce very serious consequence, but the Italians are nevertheless to be congratulated upon the concession of their demands and apon secur- ing a genuine diplomatic triumph. The London Daily Graphic,under the caption **Blaine’s Latest Surrender,’’ says that the result establishes an important precedent on which the countries of Kurope are arrested. It establishes the responsibility of the Feder- al Government of the United States for the safety of foreigners within her gates, no matter how the local authorities may choose to act. RYAN, BALLARD AND MURPHY. The Men Charged With the Murder of Antonio Marre Furnish Bond.

When the candidate first came to do his campaigning, Denn Ryan brought him down, and the same nigh took him over to see Lynam. Then and there Lynam became a Dalton man, and began to wonder if he could fill those big oan susere- toed shoes of Col. Grif Prat No its different. ‘‘If Daltcn will do ‘thts aaet of thing before he’s Governor, what will he do after he’s Governor?’’ said Lynam. ‘*A good man Ly us are thinking this way now. Be- fore ts through with it, Mr. Dalton will find J that his new deal has hurt him among the men who were his best friends.’’ Ed Devoy a Delegate. It is announced from the Dalton head- quarters atthe Richelieu that Ed Devoy, in consideration of the forbearing way in which he has received the treachery of Mr. Dalton, will be sent to Jefferson City as a delegate. | Devoy had been already chosen by the caucus of the original Dalton men at Bowman’s Hall to go to Jefferson City, so it is not to be supposed that he feels very much gratitude for the favor. He had another long talk with Dalton last night and again insisted that the first Dalton men in the city should be sent to the conventions. Mr. Dalton said he would try to do what he coula, and Mr. Devoy then told him that the best he could do now was to stay out of the coming‘ fight altogether, For Dalton and Maffitt. The Twentieth Ward is another of those that are going to send Dalton and Mamitt del- egations to the conventions, Henry L. Ed- munds, the Central Committeeman, will put up a delegation for Cleveland, that fs Mafiitt and Madill, leaving the gubernatorial dele- gptes un pledged. The ward is said tobea mMtt ward, and the delegates will be for Dalton, A caucus of the Dalton-Noonan men was held atthe house of Justice Jeff Poliard, in the Twenty-second Ward last night. The public institutions were largely represented, Re- corder of Voters James L. Carlisie is prepar- ing circulars which will be scattered through the ward next week. They will disclaim ac- tive partictpation in the politics out there. The Republicans Delaying. ‘*Tcan’t imagine why the Republicans are delaying solongabout sendingin their lists of delegations, Ioughtto have all of them by this time,’’ said Recorder Carlisle to-day. ‘*I shall receive none after Saturday night, and I have not gota single one yet. I can’t choose the judges and clerks till I get the feng antery and the delay is going to put me to a good deal of trouble.

Such is the case between two warring factions in the City Hall. The Auditor’s office. with all its force is standing firm on its original platform and the office of the Comfhissioner of Supplies is equally as determined tostand by its stand- ard. ‘*‘What is the trouble with the Supply office?’’ was asked at the Auditor’s office. **See them,’’ an” long has this mysterious fight been ‘*About a month. “3 9 a) won’t tell what it is?’’ At the Sopply © office the question was asked ‘*‘What’s fracas with the Auditor?’’ **Oh, nothing. ries **Won’ t you give some idea as to what it Sexo, only a difference astothe amount of ‘*Who else knows of it?’ . ‘a ity Counselor, It has been referred m , to B The City Counsellor was seen and the reason for the strange reticence came out. ‘‘What is the row Reteeees the Auditor and the Supply Commissioner?’ ‘‘Itis nota row.

Mr. Hugh L. Fox, who, with James W. Brennan, Mayor Noonan’s Private Secretary, is applying in the courts for the appointment ofa receiver forthe Moran Nut & Bolt Co., and to whose suit a sensational answer was filed inthe Circuit Court yesterday through Attorney D. P. Dyer, was seen by a Post- DISPATCH reporter to-day relative to the case. Mr, Fox was asked about the charges preferred by the Morans in their answer, that he, Fox, had stated that through his influence with the Mayor and Private Secretary Brennan, he could force a certain railroad entering st. Louis to pay a big price for the property where the Noran factory stands, and also as to the further charges that he was leading a movement to force the firm of the Moran Nut & Bolt Co. to seil its property sothat he could realize on the nine shares of stock held by him. ‘*Beyond @enying the truth of those ’*? gaid Mir, Fox, ‘‘I must decline to discuss the case for publication at all. Ido not care to make a newspaper controversy of it, and whatever action in the courts. It will be wel! to await devel- aan there before passing judgment. at’s all I care to say about the subject.’’ —— CHEAPER THAN ANTHRACITE For stove, grate and furnace, PITTSBURGH CRUSHED COKE, DEVOY & FEUERBORN, Sole Agents, 704 Pine street.

While the ambulance wason the way to the City Dispensary with one of these men the driver was hailed on South Broadway, near Marion street, and asked to take aboard a sick man, an old cooper named Michael Foster, living at 1826 South Third street. Foster had walked into Koch’s drug. store for some medicine andhad dropped tothe fioor in an uncon- scious condition, He was placed in the am- bulance and taken tothe Dispensary, where his insensible condition was pronounced by the doctor in charge to be due to an overdose of bad whisky.

It has been intimated that Secretary Blaine has the missives in his possession, but Col. Nevins is authority for the statement that he has not. Mrs. Blaine is stopping at the New York Hotel with her parents, Col. and Mrs. Nevins. She declined to see a reporter, stat- ing that she was too illtotalk, but said that her father would speak for. her. Col. Nevins laughed atthe idea of his daughter selling the letters she had promised to give to the ress. " ‘*‘I suppose Secretary Blaine would be glad to get those letters, but he won’t. My daugh- ter has been sick since she returned and that is the reason they havenot been published. Monday was the first timein five weeks that my daughter has left her room. In the course ot a few days the letters will be giyen tothe ress in the sams manner that Secretary Biaine gave out his letter, and we hope they will be as widely published:*’ Fine Ready-Made Suits, All Our Own Make.

A Fiery Brazilian Wants to Fight a Due With Minister Mendonca. NEw York, April 15.—Following quickly upon the fading prospect of a duel between Borrowe and Drayton comes the threat of Col. A. Il. de Paula Caelho, the editor of O Brazil E Os Estades Unidos, a Spanish- American publication, who gained ceéleb- rity as an opponent of Dom Pedro. that he will challenge toaduel Senor Men- donca, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Brazilian Republic at Washington. The fiery Brazilian editor says that the Minister must retract what he has said about him. Said he last evening: ‘I will give Mr. Mendoncr just twenty-four hours in which to answer me. If he does not answer me in that time I will publish him as a coward and a cur. He says I am a mulatto and that I am an ex-convict in my native land. He is a liar. I respect the laws of this country or I would challenge him to fight me here; but ifI can find any place where the duello ts recog: nized I will go there and challege him. I am told that North Carolina isthe place. I will go there if I cannot get satisfaction else- where.’’ _Col. Coelho Is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 850 pounds, He is the gentleman who. on Friday last resigned as the general manager of the Brazil & New York Steamship Co., presumably. because of the publication of a story about his assault upon Mrs. Jones and her daughter, his explanation of which was that Mrs. Jones had not paid her rent and that he had ejected her from his house. Senhor Mendonca, when he read of the Colonel’s actions, said that he wasa fraud so far as his representations were concerned. The Colonel claims to have been a prominent figure in the Brazilian revolution,and to have been highly honored by the foremost men of the Republic. All this Minister Mendonca says is pure fabrication. ‘*‘Mr. Mendonca is jealous of.me,’’ con- tinued Col. Coelno, referring to what Men- donca had stated, and his dark eyes flashed, while the perspiration stood out*on his dusky brow. ‘‘I have been trying to establish closer relations between Brazil and America, and he does not like me to do that.

Chicago Growing Anxious About That Trifie of $7,000,000. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—Gen. 58t. Clair, Francis W. Breed of Massachussets and Judge Harris of Virginia, members of the National Commission of the World’s Fair, were heard before the World’s Fair Commis- sion of the House yesterday in support of the proposed loan orappropriation of $7,000,000 by the Government in aid of the fair. Gen, St. Clair argued as to the duty and responsibility of the Government’s connec- tion with the fair. The local corporation, he said, was responsible for the fifteen great departments of the expositions and were chargeable with supplying the power for machinery, light, heat, policing the grounds and ——s for tte comfort of the public generally. here was no question as to the necessity of the appropriation, as itwas shown that $18,000,000 would be re- quired before opening the gates of the fair, instead of $10,000,000, as at first estimated. The bil) authorizing the fair never contem- plated having the local corporation raise over $10,000,000. This amount they had se- cured. The Government should not allow the fairto bea failure forthe need of afew million dollars. Mr. St. Clairspokein the highest terms of the work of the Board of Lady Managers, and said that every dollar appropriated for that work would be well spent. The exposition was not a Chicago fair or Illinois show, but an exposition of the United States. Both Mr, Breed and Judge Harris made earnest ap- peals for the proposed law.

ALBANY, N. Y., April15.—In the Assembly this morning Mr. Yetman’s bill to give women the right to vote for all State officers came up, and was briefly supported by Mr. Yetman, Mr. Husted and Mr. Sulzer. Mr. Drypolcher moved to strike out the enacting clause. This was lost—24 to 63. There was a good deal of merriment over the bill as usual, and not much serious argument. Mr. W. A. McCormick offered his ptock amendment that ‘‘red headed women’’ should be included, but withdrew it on being told by Mr. Gifford that it was an insult to the young ladies in the House. Mr, Adams said he had receiyéd more requests to vote forthis bill than for any other before the Legislature. He thought the Legislature in need of blessing and he voted accordingly. Mr. A. R. Conkling, Mr. Cole and Mr. Deyo raised constitutional objections and voted againpstthe bill. Mr. LaGrange said there was nothing that would allenate husband and wife more surely than politics; it would make home less lI'ke heaven and more like the other place. He voted no. Mr. Quigley said that woman was too good to vote. Mr. Kennedy said that for the first time he had met the lobby on this bill, and he had promised gate outside to give this bill his unqualified support, which he did cheer- fully, for he belleved it wasa step in the right direction, Mr. Husted said the ablest statesmen the world ever saw and the bravest people in the world were women. Mr.Smith said he was willing to share his privileges with. his wife and stay at home half a day and ténd the baby while she went to vote. J. Ryan said he believed it would Mr. P. elevate American politics. Mr. Stranahan said that for fifty years a woman had ruled the greatest empire in the world; he believed in giving equal rights to American women. Mr. Webster sald that when women came here and made a request they should be lis- tened to with a chivalric spirit. He could not give women the suffrage, but so far as he could he would accede to her wishes, and cheerfully voted for the bill. Later, when Mr. Wissig, a member, madea speech full of double meaning, Mr. Webster arose and indignantly demanded that all allusions thereto should be expunged from the record. This was carried. Soon after the bill passed, 69 to 34, St. Loursis the cheapest dlamond market in America; the reason given is that the bigjewelers, Mermod & Jac- card, Broadway and Locust, have put dia- monds on a strict commercial value basis, as they prefer doing animmense business with a small margin of profit rather than a limited business with high profits, settings forthe diamonds being made in theirown factory. TRADE WITH OKLAHOMA. Meeting ofthe Oklahoma Oity Delegates and the Traffic Commission. This morning atil o’clock the delegation from Oklahoma City, O. T., were in consul- tation withthe Traffic Commission of the Merchants’ Exchange in reference to the line of railroad that is sought to be established between St. Louis and Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City men gave a glowing account of the advantages that would result to both cities from a direct rail connection between the two cities. The Frisco road is now fifteen miles west of Sepulpa, leaving a gap of only sevénty-five miles'to be filled. When this is done, it wa s argued, all the trade of that partof Oklahoma would be done in St. Louls. Under present conditions the Kock Island carries the trade to Chicago. Okla- homa City merchants had been in consulta- tion with St. Louls wholesalers, and had as- certained that betterterms could be made here than anywhere else if once this gapis closed...

Glancters lectured to a large as- sembly of ladies and gentlemen on ‘Idolatry of Romanism’’ at Turner Hall last evening. Dr. Glanciers did not confine himself to denouncing the doctrines of the Catholic Church, but de- nounced tn the most bitter way the actions of Mayor Noonan and other politicians of the push. The lecturer appealed to the American people to vote for a Protestant and not fora Roman Catholic. He claimed that the mem- bers of that church were ruling this country and should they continue to do so the papal banner of Rome. would supplant that of the stars and ah 4-2 The assemblage was asked to assist the American Protective Association to defeat any politician running for office who was known to be a Roman Catholic. Prior to his lecture Dr. Glanciers took par- ticular pains to explain that he would not tolerate the reception which was tendered Rev.

United States Revenue Collector Charles ‘Wennekerseemed a bit bored this morning when he was told there was a rumor about to the effect thatgj he had heard from Washington, D.

Itisnot true that I have re- ceived any assurances from Washington, and lexpect none.’’ Collector Wernneker spoke in a manner which indicated that his removal was not unexpected by him. Mr. Schaurte is the only man who has stepped forward and an- nounced himself as ready to take the office should Mr. Wenneker be removed, and the Collector, it is understood, looks upon Mr. Schaurte as his successor. Mr. Wenneker was alsotoldthat Ex-Postmaster Hayes was said to be after the place. ‘*Youcan deny that most positively’’ said the collector, ‘‘Over one month ago, Mr. Hayes told me he would not take the place if it was offered to him unsolicited.

A WONDERFUL OPERATION BY WHICH A CRANIAL CAVITY WAS INCREASED, NEw YORK, April 14.—Every parent knows about the soft spots on @ baby’s head. And those who have been allowed to fondle babies have invariably beefi told to be careful of the and if bab y was roughly handled there might be a pressure on the brain. Physicians call these soft spots fontanels. are six in all, about the sizeof a 25- Gent pleceeach, Ths anterior one, which is the lafgest, is situated where the coronal and Sagittal sutufes mecét, and femains open some time after birth. Just aftera baby is born its braii grows much faster than therestof its body. The fontanéls areto givethe brain a chance to expand, since during the first yearit grows much faster than the skull. After eighteen months the fontanels become solid bone, like other parts of the skull, There are Many more idiots born into this world than statistics show, and many suffer from asmall cranialcavity and being born with a perfectly hardened skull. For many years the scientists thought there could be no Giire. Threé or four years agoa Frenchman thought that many of the idiots hadn’t Deen given & chahce. He concinded that ifa part of the skull was removed inan idiotic child and the brain was allowed to grow a cure would be effected. His experi- ments Were so successful that Dr. Lanne- légtieisnowa famous man indéed, both in and out of Paris. If it hadn’t been for Dr. Lannelogue anda distinguished New York doctof, little Harry, ah inmate of the New York Juvenile Asylum Little Harry After the Operation. in Mount Vernon, would have grown up an idiot. Harry’sfather and mother lived on the eastside. They died within a month of each other four years ago, when Harry wasa year old. He wasn’t very bright when taken to the asylum, and developed into a stupid idiot. He did not grow fast, so that now he is no larger than an ordinary chil@ of 3. He Couldn’t remember anything or eat any solid food. It looked as if Harry was doomed. Then the doctor decided upon a wonderful ration which Will make Harry famous in allthe medical journals after a while. He determined to cut pieces out of Harry’s skull to give the child’s brain a chance to grow. ‘ The operation was performed a week ago last Friday, and it was most successful. It is always extremely dangerous to open the‘ eal, but that was the only chance for the c The doctor brought from town his brain electrical boring and cutting apparatus, be- sides knives and saws. the left side of Harry’s head was shaved. The _ child’s organs of speech were affected, and ag the brain matter which controis them is on the ftside, the surgeon operated there. -The ead was Washed with soap and theh witha solution of bichioride o mercury, the Strongest of all antiseptics. Then the boy was ready for the knife. Ether was administered, and the moment Harry was underj its influence the surgeon madearapia cut through the middle of the scaip. Phen he made transverse cuts over the frontal and back bones of the skull. The flap of scalp was thrown back, laying the skull bare. From this point on the surgeon had need of all his skill. He decided at the last moment not to use the electrical instruments. The boné was mot so hard as he anticipated, and so he could work to better advantage with his hands. On the left side, just above the eye- brow, he placed a cylindrical saw, which ts used like a bit, with which the skull was first perforated. The trepah cut out a button of bone just a balf inch in diameter. Back six inches from the first opening, and near the occipital bone or the posterior segment, another button was extracted. The doctor then decided to remove a part of the skull with a punch capable of taking outa sliiceahalf inch long and three-six- teentiis of ad inch Wide. .

From the New York Times. On Saturday night a week ago, March 26, a Connecticut woman was en route to New York by way ofa railroad train due at the Grand Centralat 7:300’clock. Her husband was with her, but he sat near one of the lights reading, while she occupied a window lace ina seat witha stranger. She had been ooking out ofthe window as the darkness grew, watching the lights and faces of the people in the car refiected in the opaque dusk, when suddenly she was startled by the appearance directly in front of the window Of an apparition in marble, it seemed. It was the face and head of a venerable man, with high ferehead, fowing white hair and long beard. Unlike the faces of the other occupants of the car, which were turned in the same direction with herself, this face looked at her from forward, so that it presented almost a square front. somethingin the sight chilled and fright- ened her. Not daring to turn, she reached around and touched the woman at her side, to whom, before this, she had not spoken. ‘*Look!’’ she said, earnestly; ‘‘look at that!’’ Attracted by her manner the stranger leaned forward and peered over her shoulder into the darkness. ‘*Isee nothing,’’ she said, and as she spoke the face vanished. ‘*‘Why, didn’t you seeitas you turned?’’ the other asked eagerly. ‘‘A marble-white face like Longfellow’s, only larger and with more hair and beard. Whose could it have been?’’ She turned and scanned the octupants of the seats near her, then got up and walked the lefgth of the car, searching for the orig- inal, thinking she was the victim of some il- lusion of refraction. There was nobody in the car whose face in the least resembled that she had seen, and she and her seat mate talked of the matter till the latter left at the néxt stopping- place. On her way from the train the Connetticut woman reiated her vivid vision to her hus- band, and then dismissed it from her mind forthe time. The next morning, however, on openinga Sunday paper, She started Back in alarm. ‘‘Why,’’ she exclaimed, ‘‘there is the face that looked at me through the Car wiudow,’’ inting asshe spoketo a large cutof Walt hitman, ‘‘andihe died last night,’’ she fih- ished, in an awe:struck voice. In the accounts of the poet’s death It was stated that he breathed his last at 6:43 p. m. By recalling the station at which her seat- mate had left, the Connecticut woman Was able to estimate that it must have been a few mintites before 7 that the face showed itself. In conclusion, it may be said that sheis a woman Over 60, of exceptional intelligence, the wife of a prominent man, and, aside from her reputation of unimpeachable veracity, has the testimony of two Witnesses that she te of and wasaffected by something she had seen, before she could have possibly known of the poet’s death, SMART DOG.

The Usual Fats cf Many People Who Think a Little. From the Now Orleans Picayune, A writer of intelligence says that more than one noted Manhas given itas his opinion that the number of people who really do their own thinking are surprisingly small. Of course there are certain com- monplace and conventional subjects con- cerning which every one is compelled to go through @ mental process which might by courtesy be called thinking. But to have individual ideas upon the ver problems of life, orto search one’s mind -for original reasons, or to pursue some line of thoucht that leads one out of the ordinary grooves— inshort, ‘‘to think for one’s self,’’ estab- lishes a man as somewhat ofa rarity. If he become eminent he isa genius; if he remain one of the common herd, the mildest term usually applied to him that he is eccen- tric. If he be rather radical ih his views, the mut of opinion concerning him is as apt, hough varied in degree, to be uniformly un- complimentary. A hundred or two hundred years azo to think for one’s self was, In nine cases Out of ten, acrime. The stake and pil- lory loomed up at the end of the daring inuo- vator’s path, and he was told that they were but the beginning of the penalties awaiting him, Stake and pillory have vanished liter- ally; yet prejudice and bigotry have not wholly disappeared. It is still essential that orfe be successful In his undertakings before nocwty, REE vee him for departing from time- canons. Perhaps that is best afterall. It seems to necessary forthe general welfare that the world should move Geet in. unaccustomed paths. Yet this n not discourage the sin- cere and honest thinker.

The Contest Took Place Before the Glad- stone Athletic Club af Providence—J im Corbett’s Arrival Delayed — Manager Buckenburger Discusses the Pittsburg Club’s Chances—Sporting News. PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 15.—Jack Falvey of this city and Billy Frazer: of Somerville, Mass., fought’ at the Gladstone Club last night for the light-weight championship of New England, Each weighed 133 pounds. For the first ten rounds there was lively fighting, either man trying for a knockout. In the rushing Falvey had the best of it. From the tenth to the fortieth round it was more like an exhibition, very little actual fighting being done. At this time Frazer seemed very tired, while{Falvey was freshening. There were calls fora drawattheendof the fifty- fifth round at 10 o’clock, but this was not allowed. From thisto the seventy-seventh round it was a walk-around, but inthis round Frazer started in to finish his man. He landed both hands on Falvey’s head, and Falvey went down, Frazer stood over him, and when Falvey rose, knocked him off his feet. Then a wildscene followed, and the referee made Frazer goto his comer, while Falvey was down. Then Frazer made rush after rush and repeatedly landed on Falvey’s head, and Falvey with wonderful strength kept meeting him, though very groggy. In the eightieth not a blow was struck, and Referee McMaugh announced that. he would callit a draw unless it was finished in three rounds. In the followi®g three rounds not a blow was exchanged, and at the eighty-third round the referee declared it a draw. CORBETT DID NOT ARRIVE. Pugilist James J. Corbett and his manager, Wm. A. Brady, who were expected to arrive in St. Louis this morning over the Vandalia route, failed to materialize at the Southern, where rooms have been engaged for the party. The Vandalia morning train was over two hours late, and quite a number of people were disappointed when Corbett failed to show up as one of its passengers. It is sup- posed that the party missed connection and will arrive to-night. Corbett gtves a sparring exhibition to-morrow night with his travel- ing partner, Jim Daly, at-the Exposition Music Hall. COLORED HEAVYWEIGHTS. SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.—Thomas Johnson of San Francisco, defeated Dave Hatch of Missoula, in sixteen roundsat the Occidental Club last night. Both men are colored heavy- weights. THE TURF. The question of whether racing will be re- sumed at Monmouth Park the coming sum- mer is the absorbing topic in turf circles just at present. Mr. A. F. Wolcott, the new owner of the course, is reported to have stated the early part of the present week that running will be resumed at the track if it has to be done without a bookmaker operating. Racing under such circumstances will be a novelty, and if Mr. Wolcott carries out this plan he is indeea a very determined man. In connection with Johnny Campbelihe ownsa racing stable and their colors are well Known onthe big Eastern tracks. Woicott is the same party who manipulated the Chicago elevated railroad deal, out of which he is said to have netted some $2,000,000, so that it can be seen he has, something substantial to back him up when he makesa move. The history of Monmouth Vark is well known to the public. It was built by a syndicate headed- by Messrs. Withers, Cassatt, Wet- more, Galway, and the Loriiliards and cost in the neighborhood of $2,000,000, Soon after it was completed the Management got into dispute with the Néw York pool rooms and the result was the pool room keepers revived an old jaw on the subject of maintaining a resort which. necessitated closing the course which is the finest in the world. Some faint idéa of the enormous size of the track may be had from the official figures. The totallength of the grand stand is 700 feet,with ap extreme width of 210 feet, There isan overhanging roof 75 feet wide, which completely protects the grand stand from uny kind ofastorm. The front posts located 0 feet apart, are proportioned to carry a load of 320,000 pounds. The aining-room, g00x45 feet, is provided for in an lntermediate story, and under itis a kitchen 200x45 feet. With the exception of the purlieus and floor oist the entire structure is built of tron, and he total weight of iron is 2,000,000 pounds. The betting-shed is 850x.75 feet. The sad- dling paddock, a new departure, contains ninety-six box stallsin tour rows of twenty- four each, for the temporary accOmmodation of horses intended to run in the different races. As forthe tracks, the malnovalisa mile and three-quarters from start to finish, with a smaller oval of a mile anda balf. ‘} here is alsu a perfectly straight three-quar- ters, with ampie ground beyond the starting- post for a field of thirty 2-year-olds 10 take position; while in connection with the straight three-quarters there is alsoa mile and three furlongs nearly straight, there be- ing a slight bend in crossing the main track. This track extends from near EKatontown. GARFIELD PARK’S TROUBLE. _ Col. Chinn, the well-known ‘starter, stated yesterday that the conference he was to have had with the Garfleld Park Jockey Club directors last Sunday was postponed. ‘‘When Iarrived in Chic&go,’’ said the Colonel, ‘‘I was told several of the members of the board were out of town, and, notwithstanding the fact that they had been telegraphed to come onandattend the conference,they could not ke onhand. We mutahlly agreed to postpone the matter until the entire board could be gotten together, which I expect will be shortly.*’ A dispatch from Chicago dated yesterday that Mayor Washburpe of that instructed Chief of Police McCiaughrey Oo issue a license to the Garfield Park Jockey Club allowing them to race but thirty days. The West Side Aldermen bave also announced their oppo- sition to the course, owing to the strenuous objections their constituents make to the character of its male and female patrons. The Park Commissioners, have determined that the law prohibiting racing. within 400 feet of the boulevards under their control shall be enforced to the letter, if they are compelled gto call out the miiitia todo it. Should this be correct it looks as if the famous West Side course is doomed. The Messrs. Hankins and their crowd who control the course are notthe class of men who die easy and they. willfight to the last should the track be closed, Ed Corrigan will lave a monopoly of racing business inthe ‘‘Windy City.’’ Washington Park runs but thirty days, after which Corrigan will have the feld to himself at his Hawthorne course. Fred Irish, the tum§man, speaking of the situa- tion in Chicago said that the ground, where * Washington Park is situated is so valuable that they will be compelled to sell out shortly and will have to move far outinthe suburbs. The same ap- ery to. Garfield Park. Corrigan, when te ad control of the latter track, saw what was coming, and secured a choice location, Under the new state of affairs he will have by far the most convenient track. In fact, after the World’s Fairis open I am firmly convinced that the Hawthorne course will be the lead- ing race track in Chicago. EAST 8T. LOUIS JOCKEY CLUB.

It is now known that two years ago, with 118 pounds up over the Lexington track, she made six furlongs inil:15 flat. Inthejsuburban she will carry but 109 pounds. The sensational yearling of las l Bound- less, by Harry O'Fallon out of Endless, the hero orthe greatest work ever done on the Lexington track by acolt of his age, has had the sore mouth and Is now afflicted with bad- ly cracked heels.

Speaking of him Phil Dwyer says: ‘‘Heis the biggest curand coward lI haveever owned. That he possesses speed, and plenty of it, is veyond a doubt, but he won'trun, and that is all there is to it.’’ It was common talkin the betting ringat Guttenburg on Saturday that the second race was fixed for Rinfax. It was said by those who professed to We acquainted with the de- tails that Pedestrian was what is known in turf circles as ‘‘dead.’’ Uncertainty, the knowing ones predicted, would upset the job ana get the money. «The race certainly looked fishy.

Mike Dwyer, owner of Kingston, has ex- pressed a wish that Spendthriit’s son and La sosca might meetat a mile overa straight course.

BASE BALL. The leaders in the twelve club league championship race arrived’ at the Lindel! Hofei this morning fresh from their two suc- cegsive victories in Cincinnatl The Smoky City team will play two games ‘here with the Browns, this being the first time a nine from Pittsburg has been here in six years. This afternoon the nine will be greatly weak- ened by the absence from the fleld of Capt. Hanlon and Jake Beckley, the first baseman. Manager Buckenberger, who is personally guiding the destinies of the Pittburg Pirates, was seen this morning’ and taiked freely on base ball subjects. ‘*Yes, I think this season’s base Dall will be a success. Everything has started out well, and we have had notrouble so far.’’ **How soon will Hanlon be able to play?’’ ‘*That il can’t say. He will stay with the team until we get back home and then he will goto Hot Springs. Hethinks that a week or two there wilil set him all right again.’’ ‘*Have you made any changes in the play- ers for to-day?’’ . **Yes. Beckley will not play. A relative of | his died in Hannibal and he wanted to badly that I let him off. If it had been any- where else I could not have let him go, but as monopol : upon Whatever grades or Kind of ugar, Hannibal is so near, only about one h : mijes, I let him off. y — ‘who will play in his place?’’ **Mack will play first and Miller will catch, and Corkhill will go to center in place of Han- lon. Lam sorry to be without kley. He is a perfect jewel at firstand his batting did a great deal to win the Cincinnati games. We are pretty well off,however. Miller is as good a catcher as any one could want and Bier- bauer is very strong on second.’’ **What do you think of the Browns?’’ ‘*Ican give no opinion now. Time will tell better than anything. It is useless to try to judge the teams now or estimate their yer <n a vietinte : **Do you n ou will.win both here?’* 4 fii *“*¥Yes,[ do. We have a team that will fight; that isthey nevef know they’re beaten and do very strong up-hill work. They are all stayers.’’ Manager Buckenberger said there was a g00d0 crowd at Cincinnati in spite of the chilly weather, and that.except for Hanlon’s lame- ness, the team was all in good form. AS OTHERS SEE US. The base’ ball writer on the Philadelphia Times sizes upthe St, Louilsclub as follows: ‘*In felding the Browns should hold their own; they are nearly all good base runners, and most of them hard hitters. The batteries are also pretty good, but it is doubtful wheth- er the team will cut much ofa figure inthe race, because it lacks a head.’’ After dis- cussing the other teams he comes to the fol- lowing conclusion: ‘If judged by their in- dividual strengh and theecombination of col- lective strength as now made up the twelve teams should finish as follows: Boston, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Washington, uisville, Cincin- nati, Baltimore, St. Louis, Pitésburg. THE LAST OF PITTSBURG. The Pittsburgs will play their last game of the present series at Sportsman’s Park to- morrow afternoon, and the Browns will have a hard nut to crack to beat them. The visit- ors are loaded for game, and they confidently expect to knock down the Browns both to-day and to-morrow. Capt. Glasscock’s men will go at the Pittsburg aggregation with a view to*their total annihilation, and the struggle promises to be exceedingly lively. Old man Galvin will officiate to-morrow, Miller catch- ing him. Dwyeror Caruthers will pitch for the Browns, Buckley catching. Play will be called at 3:30 p, m. by Umpire Sheridan. DIAMOND PICK-UPS. ° The last of Pittsburg to-morrow. President W. C. Temple of the Pittsburg club is with the team. Young Breitenstein will probably give the Pittsburgs u dose of his left-handed medicine to-day. Manager Al Buckenberger ofthe Pittsburg club is confident his team will beat out Cin- cinnati and Chicago. Capt. Comiskey and his Cincinnati birdies will at Sportsman’s Park Sunday. Five of the old Browns are now with Cincinnati. Schoch, who was lately released by the Washingtons, has signedto play the coming season with the Baltimore Club. Boston cranks think that Duffy and Mc- Carthy, the new outfielders in the ball club of that city, are the best in the business. President Von der Horst of the Baltimore Club thinks Buffinton and Gunson will make one of the finest batteries in the country. Jake Betkley, Pittsburg’s great hitter, ac- cording to the Cincinnati papers, will make Dan Brouthers, Anson, VUonnor, Hamilton and the other big League hitters hustle this season to lead him if he keeps upthe gait he struck at that point. Louisville possesses in Catcher Grimm one of the coming all-round players of the coun- try. This player is the same one over whom Pittsburg made such a row last winter. The Smoky City managers,it seems, Opened up negotiations with Grimm while the war was on and had all but sigued him when the dis- tribution took place, Notwithstanding the most determined efforts the ‘‘Pirates’’ made to secure him, he wag awarded to Louilsviile. Besides being a fine thrower and batter, evi- dence of which was seen in the first game he played with the Colone e cap be utilized on second or th ae. CU me _ ATHLETICS, The ten-mile amateur championship race of the Amateur Athletic Association of En- gland took place March 26, at the grounds of the Loncon Athletic Club, Stanford Bridge, Fulham, London. This race wags instituted in 18;9,and was generally run later in the sea- son, but four years ago it was brought for- ward to the spring, when the sertes of cross - country spins and contests, which marked the winter months, might reasonably be ex- pected to leave the participants in good con- dition for long distance championship honors on the path. There were twenty-five entries, among whom were Kibbiewhite, Parry, Fow- lerand W. H. Morton of the Sanford Har- riers, the present holder of thecup and who also holds the records irom fourteen anda quarter to twenty and a quarter miles, but none of these four gentlemen competed. Fourteen toed the mark at the call of time, and the race was won by Sid Thomas, who ran in the colors of the Kildare Athletic Club, in 53m. 25 1-58; H.A Heath, Finchley Harriers, the Nationaland Southern Counties Cham- pion, second, in 54m. 274-5s. This is the sec- ond,.victory of sid Thomas, who won the same event in 1889, in 51m. 31 2-5s., the fastest time for the championship. SPORTING NOTES, A dispatch from Hot Springs says that the report that Jack McAuliffe, the lightweight champion, was dying at that point is untrue. McAuliffe is at present quartered at White Sulphur Springs and is getting along nicely. Owing to the illness of Mr. Showalter’s wife, who is at Louisville, Ky., the Showal- ter-Lipschutz chess match for $1,500 has been postponed patil next Monday.

A Millionaire and His Wife in the Ranks ofthe Salvation Army. BUFFALO, N. Y., April 15.—Mr. and Mrs. George Montgomery, who a fewiays ago came from California to New York t» join the ranks of the Salvation Army and carry on the work of healing by faith, havea remarkable history. r Mrs. Montgomery isa native of Buffalo. She is an earnest advocate of faith cure. Both her husband and herself beli@ve that their lives were saved by faith afterthe best doc- torsin tlie land had given up my oe They met at ‘aconvention of faith cure levers, and their child is ealled ‘‘Baby Faith.’’ The history of Carrie Judd Montgomery is familiar to every Bbuffalonian. About twelve years ago column after column appeared in the newspapers about her remarkable recov- ery from an apparently incurable disease through what was claimed to be the power of prayer. A frail and delicate girl, she was stricken with a nervous disease which baffled all physicians, and caused her years of yntold suffering. Suddenly there came a change. Prayers that the invalid might be cured by faith were offered by a colored faith-healer named Mrs. Edward Mix, who lived tn Wolcotyille, Conn. The sick girl began to improve and in two months’ time was able to walk, though she had been in bed more than two years, and was belleved to be in the last stages of con- sumption of the blood. From thattime Carrie Judd devoted her- selftothe faithcure. She wrote the Iistor of her life and remarkable restoration health. This work has been translated into several tongues. She did not limit herself to simply telling others of her exper! established a home called ‘*‘Fait! tage,’’ in Buffalo, that was a the start under her able managemen The history of George Montgomery some res $s similar to that of his wife, The Collapse of a Rotten Tenement, With crumbling foundation and shaky, buiging walls, is not inore certainly to be looked for than the sudden giving way of a constitation sapped by overwork, unremitting anxiepy or exposure to hardship and malign ciimatic influences. Against the disastrous effects of each and all of these, Hostetter’s Stomacti Bitters is an effectual safeguard. It fortifies the system against them by infusing into it fresh vigor begotten of re- newed and complete digestion and assimilation ofthe food, and its consequent reparative action — upon the exhausted tissues and impoverished circulation.

The sport remarked: “I went to the track on Tuesday and dropped the bank roll payee the short ends straight and place. First Jack Pott gave me a lead-pipe Cinchin the half-mile and said there was to be a hog killing, but it never showed.

Next Harry Farmer gave itto me straight that Paresis had been on ice for some time and was for the maidens. ‘The stable’s sweet on her,’ says he, ‘and she’ll do the trick.’ In- stead of that she did me, because swinging for home she went back and never showed again. It Seems that the boy was dead crooked andthat his mount had been stif- fened. Jack and I both liked Dandy Mayor in the fourth, for he finished strong after god back in the gtakes the day before, but they pocketed him in the stretch and he couldn’t get one—two—three, In he fifth the talent said it was all over but the shouting, as Crosscounter would lose his field and walk in.

Here is the latest lot of essays in that line, the subject being the word ‘‘Music.’’ The definitions were brought out by a two guinea prize offer of London 7Tit- Bits, The following are some of the best: That subtle trembling of the air which, through the ear of man, smoothes his sor- row, dispels his fear, revives his hope, calms his he ot purifies and educates his whole mind, and elevates his soul to heaven. Music fs poetry translated Into the language of angels. : Music is the river of melody, which has Nat- ure for its source, Art for a tributary, and Skill for its outlet. The art of using sopnds, singly or in com- bination, capable of pleasing the ear, touch- ing the heart, exciting the intellect, and en- livening the Imagination. Music isthe language by which. thoughts and feelings otherwise unutterabDle are ex- pressed. Soothing syrup for savage breasts. An appeal to the soul expressed in sympa- thetic sound, The only gift thought worthy by God of be. ing equally divided between the angels and man Music is the key to the human heart. Afancy Dall of ideas dressed in the mas- querade of crochets and quavers. Music is the soul’s expression, the heart’s solace and the mind’s delight. Music consists of every sound In nature that gives pleasure to its hearers. Anoisy peacemaker. A succession of harmonious sounds which some people pay a guinea to hear, and some sixpence to have taken into the next street. Medicine for aching hearts and tired brains. Notes on the Bank of Harmony. A scientific method by whichthe wildest of wiid animals, man, may be tamed. Music is the Volapuk of the feelings. The easel of the soul, and the canvas upon which we picture our emotions. Nice nolse. Bars in which teetotalers may indulge their thirst for melody. A something made out of nothing which actsasatonic for bad temper, drives away care and creates happiness. The universal language of the soul. Music is of all sound concerns the soundest, having an almost unlimited power of issuing notes which pass current everywhiere. Sound, time and harmony welded with sym- pathy. Music is soul embodied in sound. The honey produced by the Bee of Harmony from all the different flowers of sound, Drilled wind. The merry laugh ofinnocence at the fireside of contentment.

Membeérs of the House of Commons Who Have Gone to the Bad. Speculation is rife in London as to the ex- traordinary change which has Come over both Joseph Chamberlain and Arthur Balfour, says the New York Recorder. The former has abandoned his everlasting orchid and is now frequently seen either with flowers of minor @egree or else with none at all in his button- hole, while Mr. Balfour, formerly the neatest and most daintily dressed of men, the very pink of neatness, in fact, has become iIncon- ceivably negligentin his personal attire, ap- pearing not only in the street, but also in the House of Commons, with muddy boots, turned up trousers and badly brushed hat. Possibly these changes in personal appearance may be due ina meas- ure toa sense of shame and demoralization caused by the unparalleled number of mem- bers of the House of Commons who have gone to the bad since the present Parliament has been in session. No lessthanthree have been condemned to expulsion forcriminal offenses, and twoofthem are underpoing sentences of penal servitude, the third being a fugitive from justice. Three others have been obliged to surrender their seats in consequence of financial disaster, the bankruptcy of two be- ing ofsuch character asto bring them dan- gorceety near to criminal indictment. thers again, including Col. Hughes-Hallett and Mm Ashmead-Bartlett, have ot into very serious trouble in connection with ladies, and while the political career of Col. Hughes-Hallett is already ended, that of Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett will, in accordance witha romise made to Capt. Hosier, husband of ady Bianche Hosier, come to aclose at the end of the present session. Still another member, a Mr. Atkinson, has just been placed in a lunatic asylum, his latent insanity having burst forth in full fame while staying at Nice, where, after barricading himself in his room at one ef the leading hotels, he pro- ceeded to hurl out of the window into the street below first ofall the crockery in the room, thereupon the furniture, winding up with his bedstead. It required several gen- darmes to oDtain the mastery of this very pe- cullar form of what the French were pleased to Gall ‘Un homme @’etat Angiais.’’ SHOULD WOMEN SMOKE! She Should for the Good of Humanity and Civilization. From the Philadelphia Record. At the banqvyet of the cigar manufacturers in New York last week the toast, ‘*‘Should Women Smoke?’’ was responded by Morris 8. Wise, Secretary of the association, who fe- marked: ‘*Nature has givena mouth to man, so she bas to woman,and though the woman’s is naturally smaller and more beautiful it is a mouth alithe same. She eats beefand mut- ton as her husband does; drinks tea and coffee as he does, and so wf should she not smoke as e does? rilliant § ar- gumient that). ‘*What is the charm of the club toman?’’ he continued. ‘‘Why does the woman detest the club? Because it keeps her husband from her. What ts the solution? Why, tolet her smoke and by so doing keep her lord and master at home. The women of Spain, Italy, some parts of France, all of the South American republics and most oriental countries smoke—that is to say, half the world. Why not American women? That they will smoke fn the near futureis beyond doubt and that the sooner the better for the good of humanity and civilization. There were a number of songs sung at the banquet and one was called ‘‘New York ana Her Sister Cities.’’ The various great cigar- making centers were all mentioned in sepa- rate verses, for Philadelphia being sung totheair of ‘‘Baby’’ from ‘Wang.’ The verse was as follows: . Flavor, flavor, oh the darling flavor. eiivecaiee tee uch a fra . Flayor, Gaver. real meven® flavor. Ob my it pape) no ga0cd, A Story of Walt Whitman.

He’d goto Haddington one day and maybe tothe park the next and soon, One day about ten years ago I missed him and ] ain’t seen him since.’’ THE CAMPBELLS ARE COMING. Origin of the Song and Memories That Cluster Around It. There have been many speculations as to the origin of this old song, the first verse of which runs thus: The Campbells are coming, O-ho! O-ho! The Campbells are coming, U-ho! The Campbells are coming to bonnie Loch Leven, The Campbells are coming, O-he! O-ho! Some authorities have claimed that it was com posed for Mary Queen of Scots on her im- prisonment in the castie of Loch Leven, in 1567, an Argyle bejng then a supporter of the Queen. Other authorities maintain that the words of this song itself bear internal evi- dence of its not baving been written until nearly two centuries later. The date of its composition is now generally regarded as 1715, the time being that ofthe breaking out of the rebellion in the reign of George I., when the Ear! of Mar raised the standard in favor of the Stuartsand the great Duke of Argyle, John Campbell, was made Com- mander-in-Chief of His Majesty’s forces. It wasto this Duke that the successful sup- pression of this rebellion was largely due. The air to which these words are sung has, however, been the quickstep of the Camp- bells fer some hundreds of years, says Har- per’s Bazar. It has been piped to them and to the people of Scotiand over moorland and meadow, by country roadsand taverns. It has stirred them to gayety in festivity, to courage in warandto patriotismin time of threatened calamity. Each note of it sounds a melody generations old, and in évery meas- ure the piper plays there echoes for those who have earsto listen the very loves and fears and hopés and triumphs of a people. No wonder that this old melody of Scotland makes irresistible appeal, whether piped to peasants dnd children or to soldiers who tread the field of battle. There are those who to-day remember what the sound of these pipes and this melody once meant to the women and men ofa be- leaguered fortress. It was at the siege of Lucknow, in 1857, during tlie great mutiny in India. The Kuropean women and’chilidren in Nana Sahib’s hands had been foully massacred. In Lucknow, hemmed in by enemies, women waited, cheered by one romise—that before they fell into the bar- arians’ hands thew own-husbands and brothers should slay them. One woman, lying ill uponthe ground, heard pipes play- inginthe distance, and knew rescue was at hand. The story everyone knew in that day, and Whittier retold it in noble verse: **Dinna ye hear it?—dinna ye hear it ?— The pipes o* Havelock sound!’’ Hushed the wounded man his groaning; Hushed the wife her little ones; Alone they heard the draum-roll And the roar of -epoy guns. But to sounds of home and childhoot The Highiand ear was true— As her mother’s cradle-crooning The mountain pipes she kne w. Like the marcn of soundless music Throvgh the vision of the seer, More o1 feeling tnan of hearing, Of the heart than of the ear She knew the droning pibroch She Knew the Campbell's call: **Hark? hear ye no’ MacGregor’s— The grandest o* them all?’’ O, they listened, dumb and breathless, And they caught the sound at last; Faint and far beyond the Goomtee Rose and ieil the piper’s blast! Then a burst of wild thanksgiying Mingled woman's voice ani man’s: **God be praised !—the march of Havelock! The piping of the cians!’’ A KANGAROO AT LARGE. His Escape and Wanders Along the Street. From the San Francisco Examiner. One of the kangaroos in a temporary museum on Market street escaped from his prison last evening. It was just about the time that people were thronging along Mar- ket streeton their wayto the cake walk. The sidewalks were crowded, the wo- men being in a_ majority. Of course the sudden apparition of an animal that looked likea giant mouse caused a panic. He hopped quietly about onthe pavement for a moment or two, turning his head from side to side through surprise at the glare of the gas lights. The womeg screamed and most of the gas lights. The women screamed and most of the men retreated to a safe distance. The animal’s keeper soon emerged from the tentand tried to catch him. ut that Kan- garoo did not propose to be caught. A jump or two took him out of any danger of im- mediate capture. But the keeper followed, and finally the long-tailed marsupial was forced into a near-by candy store, The young salesiadies nearly fainted in their consternation, and several people who were drinking ice-cream soda tried to swal- low the glasses, The keeper entered immedi- ately after and made a grab for the kanga- roo’s tall, but the beast was too nimble. fie kept dancing about the store, evading the man’s efforts to catch him, very much to the damage of the furniture and show-cases. Finally he Jumped clear over the counter, landing close to one ofthe frightened candy girls. Then he was ovemered and the keeper managed to get a grip on his tail. The kanga- roo pulled and so did the man. For a time the result of the novel tug-of-war was Jn doubt, but whenever he got a chance the circus man took a reaf in the an!imal’s tail and at length managed to get close enough to fasten a rope about the neck of the escape. With the assistance of several other men the animal was foreed back into his cage, having enjoyed about ten minutes of freedom. Butin that brief time he had a lot of fun and managed to nearly scare to death the couple of hundred women who were in the neighborhood when he made his escape. Should Live to Be 100.

Pope, the Western Passenger Agent of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rallroad, has madea point which might well be observed by railroad managers generally. Last Friday a report was started that thirty peo- ple had been killed -in an accl- dent on the Chesapeake & Ohio, The company, with good judgment, immedl- ately sent out reports giving the exact state- ment of the facts, which showed that the ac- cident was only to freighttrain and no one was killed orinjured, The promptreport of the railway company stogped the erroneous telegrams going about the country,and the whole matter was soon adjusted, Mr. Pope said upon the subject: ‘*We don’t delay in giving out prompt andaccurate in- formation. There has not been an average of one fatataccident per year to passenger trainsontheC. & QO. for the past fifteen years, and in the whole ofthattime, not a dozen passengers have lost their ‘lives, which isa recordthat a company operating upwards of a thousand miles of road can be proud of, Having been singularly free from bad acci- dents, against which we take every pre- caution, naturally objectto havng mythical ones charged upto us and, toavoid this, we give out prompt news of every mishap.’’ A FRERH LIne of Whitman’s P!
