The State Department people have searched their authorities and have scru­ tinized the facts in the case, and are in­ clined to doubt the right. The whole ques­ tion arises from a dispute as to the charac­ ter of the vessel. Were she a pirate, a ship In the service of an enemy to this country, and a vessel of American register engaged in acts in violation of treaty stipulations, the case would be a simple one. But she is merely a Chilian vessel engaged In the transportation of a suspected cargo, a cargo that may possibly be contraband in the light of the treaty, and there is a very grave risk Involved. if ( if.i; >"ri BASE-BALL. fltaadlBg ef tke Different Clnb3 Aeeordinr to #j„. the Latest Contests FOLLOWING is a showing of the stand­ ing of each of the teams of the different y associations: SATIONAIA LKAGUK. _ W.

Affairs reached a crisis on Wade street. Mrs Tanhorn appeared on the curb and stepped into the street waving a bso&m. Instantly, for squares, women and chil­ dren swarmed out with brooms, hoes, rakes, and wheelbarrows. In a moment the air was full of dust, and the work was pushed vigorously. In thirty min­ utes the paving of the street began to show beneath the accumulation of months. In an hour all was ready for the city cart. Not satisfied with clean­ ing the street, the women took a hand at the sewers. Later ia * the day the Board of Aldermen appropriated $io,oo6 additional for special street cleaain purposes. Fatal Do*1 in T»nn A BLOODY duel was fought near Knox- ville, Tenn., by two men natnel John­ son and Sizmore. Trouble had existed a long time between the men, and, failing to settle the difference, Johnson sent word to Sizmore to meet him in a se­ cluded spot. The challenge was accept­ ed and in the fight Johnson was killed. SizmOrete the son of a man who killed nitieteeiri men before being himself killed. \ R'otous Railroad Striker*. THK employes on the western division of the Midland Road have struck until they are paid back wages. Only trains going west are allowel to run and none are allowed to leave Waveland, the head­ quarters of the strikers. Stones wero thrown into a passing passenger train at Waveland and a (raveling man from Crawfordsville was seriously injured. Big Fir* in Canada AT Alliston, Ont, six blocks of build­ ings were burned. They contained six hotels, forty-five stores, twenty-five resi­ dences, the Postoffice, market buildings, and the fire-hall. The loss will run Into the hundreds of thousands. At Glen- field, Ohio, fije destroyed the general store of T. Phillips & Co. and three dwellings. The total loss was 850,000. frfcred kt tVe grew$omo spectacle' nntfi a late hour. R AT Long Island City, N. Y., a disas­ trous conflagration occurred. The fire covered the entire lumber district of seven acres, or thirteen city blocks, which was almost entirely covered with lumber piles. The loss will reach 81,0'10,000. While Patrick McDcrmott, a fireman, was rescuing eight horses from the stable of John Castor «Sr Rro., which was destroyed, lie was badly burned about the head. An unknown man was drowned in Newtown Creek while looking at the fire. AT New York, Inspector Byrnes lias personally arrested a lunatic who threatened to kill Jay Gould unless he was bought off with a large sum of money. He imagines or pretends to imagine himself the vice president of a band of world-roformers, styling them­ selves Christ's followers, and to be doomed to carry out the decrees of the order. The man's name is Charles J. Dixon, and he comes from Pueblo, Col. Now a SI.IXKV staggered through Boston streets in a scandalously drunken con­ dition, when she was arrested. The woman's companion was her six weeks old baby girl, whom she hugged close to her breast. The woman * was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment, and, as there was no way to care for the baby the commitment papers included the name of mother and child. AT Buffalo, John t Jar thai, an Italian, got into a fight with Richard Liley, an American, and drew a razor. His first blow nearly severed Liley's head from the neck. Rarthal then fell upon his helpless victim and gave him five other gashes about the hi-ad and shoulders. Barth&l was captured. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. NILES, a little town of Ohio, has a sen­ sational double olopement. The persons interested are all well known and of re­ spectable families. Their names are Charles Egbert, a married man, and Miss Lizzie Jordan, a pretty girl of 10 years, and William Jordan, brother of Lizzie, and Lydia Craft, aged 17. The girls left home under the pretense of going to hear a lecture, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of them. THE County Infirmary, located five miles east of Muneie. Ind., was de­ stroyed by fire, and four of the inmates perished in the flames. There were about forty-five persons in the institu­ tion, and the officers and attendants had great difficulty in rescuing their charges, many of whom were old and feeble. The buildings were extensive, and the ma­ terial loss will probably reach §50,000. WIXOXA, Minn., was visited by an­ other disastrous fire, when the entire plant of the Schrothe & Alirens Mill Company was destroyed. The mill, ware­ house and three blocks of lumber were burned. The fire started In the wheel pit in the planing mill and spread rap- Idly, being only stopped at the bounda­ ries of the lumber yards. A large num­ ber of window sashes and doors were Stored in the warehouse. The loss will approximate §100,000; insurance between $40,000 and $50,000. At Sidney, Ohio, Are destroyed the shops of the American W heel Company of Chicago, causing a loss of $100,000, on which there was less than Sfi0,000 insurance. Two hundred employes were thrown out of work. THE steamship Etata, which put into San Diego, Cal., a few days ago, it was said, for the purpose of obtaining pro­ visions for the warships now in posses­ sion of the Congressional party of Chili, has been seized by the United States Marshal. It was also intimated that the vessel's arrival here had some connec­ tion with the arrival of the schooners Robert and Minnie off the Cataiina Islands loaded with arms and ammuni­ tion. AT Atchison, Kan., Marshal Tafte, at the request of Emerson Cornell, a white bartender and gambler of Monmouth, 111., arrested Alex- Payne, a negro bar­ ber, whom he charged with having run away with his wife. Payne did not deny the charge. The woman, who is good- looking and intelligent, was found in a negro boarding-house, where she had been stopping as Payne's wife. AT St Louis, during a fight between Adolph Ungil and Isidor Werkamp, the former received stabs which may cause de^th. An immense crowd was gath- «red, and about the time the officers ar­ rived and arrested Werkamp and his friend, Joseph Burnstein, many shouts of "Lynch him!" were heard, and only the absence of a rope restrained the crowd. AT Milwaukee, while Chester Wi!cox, a billiard table manufacturer, was speed­ ing his horse he was thrown from his* buggy and instantly killed. His neck was broken. At the city election at Waynetown, Ind., William Simms and Frank Hol'o- well tied for the office of Treasurer. To decide the question & foot raee was ar­ ranged between them. The raco was a 200-yard dash, and several thousand peo­ ple were on the ground. Simms seemed a sure winner until he fell within three yards of the goal. Hollowell fell over him, but crawling over the line won the race amid the howls and cheers of the crowd. Hollowell was djuly swore in. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. and snre After Inflicting alm0Her«ry pumsnment upon Heel, the mob turned him loose and ordered him to le*ve Texas under pain of death. He walked to the flag station eight miles from Waco and boarded a train for the north. PKTKB SMITH, of Fisher, Ark., has been in the habit of riding a fast horse ahead of a passenger train on the track for about half a mile to a crossing, when he would turn and laugh at the train­ men as the train sped by. His success in defeating the train to the crossing on his horse encouraged him to try it with a mule. It soon became evident (hat the mule was no% swift enough. When within half a dozen yards of the cross­ ing the mule stumbled and fell, and Smith was run over by the train. His head was cut off, both legs cut from his body, and the remains scattered along the road for some distance. AT Little Rock, Ark., Benjamin Solo* mon, clerk in the office of J*>sepli Heroldj ticket broker, is reported short in his ac­ counts. Herold wired the young man's father, L. Solomon, a well-known broker of Chicago, that his son was short $500. The father replied: "If my sou is guilty punish him without mercy." 'I THE NATIONAL CAPITAF* SECRETARY TRACV IS thinking serious­ ly of employing thirteen vessels of thd navy this summer in a series of naval maneuverings. All of the vessels are in. the waters of the north Atlantic. It is expected that Rear Admiral Kimberly will be placed In command of the fleet. AT Washington, it is positively stated' that Associate Justices Field and Brad­ ley, both of whom have pa£eed the ago which entitles them to retire on full pay, .will retire in October. FOREIGN GOSSIP. • WHILE Wrilliam Jacques, an American,. from Newton, Mass., wasoutdriving with his daughter at Florence, Italy, his car­ riage was pursued by a mob of people, who attacked it and pelted it with stones. His daughter, who interfered in his be­ half, was injured. THE American swimmer, Dalton, has successfully completed his task of swim­ ming sixteen consecutive hours in the English Channel. Died In His Cabin. JOHN FI.ANNAGAN was getting old and long had been lonesome. In his little miner's cabin in Strawberry Gulch, near Clancy, Mont., his body was found, a frightful hole torn through his breast, tills note was found near by: "I don't want to put anybody to any trouble. Bury me in the coffin I have made and the grave I have dug." (Seating himself In a chair, he put his rifle to his breast, and touched the trigger with a stove- poker. A brother lives somewhere in Michigan. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. UKAS in a show-window, and no coro­ ner to give a permit for the removal of the body. This was the fate of Mrs. William B. McKenzie, of Brooklyn. Mrs. McKenzie was seized with an attack of heart disease and sank to the pavement. Bystanders carried her into a drug store and she was seated in the only avail­ able £i*att'>^hich stood in the show-win- dow,' She d|ed in a few minutes. The coroner ^wan " notified and failed to re­ spond, and no one had authority to take the corpse out. Hour after hour the body sat there. A crowd of morbidly people surrounded the store and TOM SMITH, now under 310,000 bonds in the Circuit Court of Lincoln County, Tenn., for the killing of young John Brooks about three years ago about a young lady, is reported to hive killed •lames Wakefield, whom she married since the first killing. Smith mfet them, killing Wakefield and firing two shots at his wife. THE village of Pillowville, Tenn., was treated to a sensation that may result in a feud. The wife of Cheatham Pate, together with Pate's sister, was walk­ ing during the afternoon, when their handsome faces attracted the atten­ tion of Levi Hill and James Allen, from an adjoining town The women discouraged tho attentions, but the mashers could not take the hint, and the women iaformed their husbands. The angry men started after the mashers, conducted the pair to the most public portion of the village, where their offense was explained to the crowd. Pate then gave Hill a terrible thrashing. Allen was jvhipped in the came manner by Pate's brother-in-law. Afterward both men were escorted out of town with ropes about their necks. The friends of the whipped men threaten to get even. AT El Paso, Texas, the Rio Grande continued to raise until the lower part of the city fronting on the river was under water, and the tracks of the"El Paso International Street-Car Company were washed away in several places. About fifty Mexican families were com­ pelled to leave their homes. The street­ car company's stables weVe inundated. The flood will do great damage to or­ chards, vineyards, and farms in the val­ ley below El Paso. W. ROL. REEL, correspondent for the Kansas City Sunday Suv, a sensational sheet, was tarred, feathered, ridden on a rail, given 100 lashes and drummed out of Waco, Texas, by a mob. Reel at­ tacked the character of a number of society women in Texas, lie was under arrest at Waco on a criminal libel; scores of men from Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and other Texas cities pro­ ceeded to Waco to deal out justice swift FRESH AND NEWSY. THE weather crop bulletin of the Sig nal Office says: The weather has been specially favorable for all growing crops throughout the grain regions of the Northwest and the central valleys. Excessive sunshine and warm weather favored farm work, and early sown wheat in Minnesota and Dakota is in excel­ lent condition. The light frosts which oc­ curred during the week In the central val­ leys did not prove injurious. In the winter wheat region, extending from the Ohio Val­ ley westward to Kansas and southward to Tennessee and Arkansas, all crops are re­ ported in excellent condition; whpat and grass growing nicely and much corn beinz planted. The warm. clear weather has caused very rapid evapora­ tion, and although there has been an excess of precipitation during the season, there are many localities in the central valleys where additional rain would prove beneficial, and the indications are that these rains will occur during the early part of next week. In the cotton re­ gion cool nights have retarded growth, and crops are generally in need of rain. Ore­ gon reports normal weather conditions and wheat prospects most excellent, but rain to the east of the Cascades would be benefi­ cial. California reports that high winds and hot weather damaged the grain crops materially in the latter part of the week. Frosts in the ooast counties have slightly damaged the fruit prospects. Haying is in progress in southern California; prospects good. FILANK WILLIAMSON, accompanied by his wife and child, attempted to cross the Marias des Cygnes River, at Reming­ ton Ford, Kan. The wagon was upset and Williamson and baby were drowned. Mrs. Williamson stayed in the wagon box and was rescued. THE steamship Itata, which was seized at San Diego, Cal., by the United States Deputy Marshal, got away, taking a. United States Deputy Marshal, who was on board, with her. There is 90 doubt that the Chilians were determined to leave the harbor at any cost. One of the deputy marshal^, who was stationed at the mouth of the harbor in a small boat to keep a lookout, says that when the Itata passed out the pilot was [stand­ ing between two armed Chilians, While four cannon guarded both bow and stern. He also says that at least eighty ' armed Chilians were drawn up on Tthe deck ready for action. This fact shows that while the vessel was in port she had a plentiful supply of men, arms and ammunition. During her stay in port the only arms displayed was one small cannon, while no more than sixty sailors were at any time seen on her deck. The vessel on leaving the harbor shaped her course north, and steamed in the direc­ tion of Saa Ciemente. CAPTAIN WICKK. of the German bark diaries Ruling, reports at New York that he sighted a vessel on fire. He steered for the eeene, and rounded to near the blazing wreck. A boat was sent to the vessel, but there was no living thing on board. No name could be seen, nor was there the slightest, clue by which the vessel could be Identified. Tho ves­ sel was burned to the water's edge. Whether the crew took tio the boats and are now tossing about in inidocean or all perished with the ship may pexhape re­ main a mystery of the «ea.

The future em­ peror of all the Bnssias is said to be very nervous and to live in constant ex­ pectation of assassination. At a banquet given to him and his suite in Madras a characteristic incident occurred. The czarowitz and his fdUow travelers were, as usual, in full military uniform and wore their swords. A loud explosion was heard outside the banquet hall and the imperial guest and his suite turned pale, jumped to their feet and put their hands to their swords. They evidently thought it was a bomb which had ex­ ploded. Investigation showed that it was only a soda water bottle that had burst. It is generally supposed that more nihilists and anarchists have found refuge in America than in any other country, and it is said that most elabo­ rate precautions have been taken to guard against attempts on the young man's life during his sojourn in the United States. He will visit all the principal cities of the union before going to Europe*and will go from here to England. * One Woman's Questions. A woman wearing a mackintosh and carrying an umbrella stood at the ticket window at the Barclay street ferry the other day. Six men were behind her in line. A boat was due to leave in about two minutes. "Do boats leave here for Hoboken ?" she asked, and the man inside answered "Yes." "How long will it be before the next one goes V "About a minute," was the reply. "Does the boat go straight to Hobo- Yen 9 asked the woman. "Yes," said the ticket seller. "How long could I wait in Hoboken Before there was another boat back?" asked the woman, while the men behind her grew nervous rapidly. "As long as you please," said the patient ticket seller; "they are going and coming all the time." "Could 1 get from Hoboken to Jersey City without coming back here?" "Yes; street cars run regularly," was the answer. "Would it be quicker to go by a car or come back and take a ferry to Jeifeey City?" she asked. _ "I don't know," was the answer. The ticket seller asked impatiently, "How <nany ?" "How many what?" said the woman. "Tickets. How many tickets do you want?" The bell wfts ringing for the boat to move, and the men in line were swearing. "I don't want any tickets," she said. "My sister lives in Hoboken, and if I thought I had time to go and see her and call on my brother's folks in Jersey City I was going over tomorrow."-- New York Times. Imagination and Hunger. I observed yesterday another instasoe of the influence of the imagination upon our happiness of a sort to which I dare say I have before alluded. I was en­ gaged during the morning in preparing part of an interesting chapter in my •new work--not the great one about which I have had so much to say --the one, in fact, which deals with the origin and development of the bonnet. I had got as far as the head-dress worn by the Athenian matrons to the theater, and was naturally much engrossed with the work, when an inward monitor, in a still, small, yet unmistakable, voice, suggested "luncheon." I looked at my watch--it said 3 o'clock 1 JJow I always take luncheon at half past 1, never, in any emergency, later «han 2. But 3 o'clock 1 I felt ill and faint. I started for the club feeling like Rip Van tVinkle when he came home for his luncheon twenty years late. I passed a friend. I tried to slink by without his noticing,' but I could see that lie looked upon me sadly and ask­ ance, as if I was in some way a stricken wether of the Hock. I went in antl sat down. Somehow everybody else seemed to be late. I looked at the clock. It was exactly twenty-five minutes of 2. 1 looked at my watch again. It still said 3 o'clock. It had stopped during the night. Now mark the result. I in­ stantly recovered from the starvation from which I had been suffering, and btifgan to converse in my usual cheerful and intelligent manner. But I did not mention the extraordinary behavior of my watch, which I now reveal only in strict confidence.--Boston Pout Th« Mine Hour l>ay. "For nearly a year I have carefully observed the workings of the nine hour system, and the results are very satis­ factory," says John Widdicomb, who is at the head of one of the biggest fur­ niture companies in Grand Rapids, Micb. "I have observed it in all its phases, and especially from a financial point of view. The men in the carving department work by the piece and re­ ceive pay for the amount of work done. They Jose six hours' work in a week, as compared with the 10-hour day, but the pay-roll is not six hours short by con­ siderable for each man. The experi­ ment has demonstrated to my satisfac­ tion that a man can do more work, re­ latively, in nine hours than in ten. The pay roll shows it, and if we had the factory room and facilities the nine- hour system would be adopted in avery department." JUSTIFIABLE LYNCHING REPORT OFTHENEW ORLEANS GRAND JURY. O'Malloy and Five Others ZadloUd for Corrupting (ho Jury--The Mob Lwulan Kscape--O'Mu lloy's I'hwfory BstsHl- K>U'R»sFrltou Bird. After six weeks' Investigation the New Orleans Grand Jury completed its labors in the Hennessy case and the killing of Italians at the parish prison by present­ ing their sp clal report. . The repoit first recalls the murder of Chief Hennessy and the trial of the ac­ cused Italians. , It says: It is not to be wondered that attention should be directed to the trial during the many days of its progress, in the selection of Jurors, the evidence of witnesses, the arguments of counsel, the charge of the Judge, and finally concentrated on the twelve men who, by virtue of their solemn oath, sat in awful judgment on their fellow- men. The verdict is now of official record, bearing date March 13, 1801. We can­ not be mistaken in tiie assertion that tho verdict was startling, amaz­ ing, a bitter disappointment, shocking to public opinion, provoking the repeated accusation that some of the jury had been unfaithful to their office. We feel that we do not transcend the limits of our duty at the grand Inquest to refer to the strong presentation of the case as made by tho State through counsel associated in the prosecution--clear, continuous, complete, convincing in the direct testimony and the material circumstances--it appeared more than sufficient to convince the most unwilling listener with its truth and con­ vey tho full measure of its power to those who ventured a doubt. After reviewing the evidence concern­ ing the corrupting of part of the jurors, the report continues: Taking into account the volume, of testi­ mony admitted by the numerous witnesses before this Grand Jury, and considering that evidence not only in the abstract re­ lation to each party but in its aggregate and collective bearing, we are force ! to the conclusion that Dominick O'Alalley is chargeable with a knowledge of and parti- c pation in most, if not all, of the unlawful acts in connection with that celebratod case. With his skill, a3 acquired by years of experience, the most cunningly devised schemes were planned and executed for de­ feating the legitimate course of justice, the chief aim and object being to place un­ worthy men upon tho jury in the trial of the nine accused. Withont his assiduous and corrupting influence we believe the verdict would have been radically differ­ ent, and as a natural consequence the tragic occurrences of the lith/bfjtfarch last never would have been record®^ [ Indictments of O'Malley and flve others follow, and tho report says: The indictment of D C. O'Malley for per­ jury was based upon most undoubted . evi­ dence that he came originally from Cleve­ land. O., where Jan. 30, 1&75, he was con­ victed of petty larceny and comitted to the workhouse of the city of Cleveland, where he served a term expiring June 22, 1875. He next appears under indictment for perjury in the United States Circuit Court at New Orleans, where an indictment was based upon the affidavit against one Ed Schleider, which O'Malley afterward contradicted* under oath, but'he managed to secure an acquittal, owing to tho timely disappear­ ance of the affidavit, which ho alone was interested in having suppressed. Later he was committed to the parish prison for at­ tempting to levy blackmail upon one George W. Randolph in the proceedings against Randolph for interdiction. The following record is verified by offi­ cials, showing his numerous offenses before the Criminal Court of this parish: 1--No. 11),488, July 3, 1884. Indicted for attempting to prevent witnesses from ap­ pearing and testifying. Nolle prosequied. 2--No. 4,838, May 9, 1884. Indicted for threatening and intimidating witnesses.

Indicted for assault and bkttery. So pernicious to the administration of jus- tice were his doings and methods found that while Judge Roman presided in the Crimi­ nal Court he ordered that O'Malley be ex­ cluded from the court-room. This was during the time his present associate, Lionel Adams, was District Attorney, and it is a significant fact that the two indictments againt O'Malley for tampering with wit­ nesses were not brought to trial but were nolle prossed by the District Attorney just prior to the expiration of his term. Then comes an exhaustive account of the secret society known as the "Mafia," exposing its iniquities and detailing its crimes It is charged that part, if not all, of the slain Italians were in this country in violation of the Immigration laws. Referring to the wholesale lynch­ ing the Grand Jury says: The assassination of the late Chief of Po­ lice shows the culmination of a conspiracy. His death was deemed necessary to prevent the exposure and punlsment of criminals whose guilt was being fast established by his diligent pursuit. The condition of af­ fairs in this community as to a certain class of violators of the law had reached such a state that the law Itself was well nigh powerless to deal with them, so far- reaching was their power and influence in the trial of criminal cases. Good citizens were profoundly impressed by the repeated and signal failures of justice. The arts of the verjurer seemed lo dominate in the courts, paralyzing and rendering powerless the ends of justice. Certainly, this was a desperate situation. In tho public meeting above referred to- general and spontaneous In character as truly indicating an uprising of the masses-^s we doubt if any power at the command of the authorities would have been sufficient to overcome its intentions. Evidence is before us from official sources that eleven persons were killed in the attack on the parish prison. In the careful examination as to citizenship of those men we find that eight of them were beyond question Ameri­ can citizens, and another had "declared his Intention" in this court, which act carries with It the renunciation of alleglence to his native country. It is a noteworthy fact in connection with the uprising that no injury whatever was done to either person or property beyond the act which seemed to have been the ob­ ject of the assemblage at the parish prison. We have referred to the large number of citizens participating in the demonstration, estimated by judges at from 0,000 to 8,000, and regarded as a spontane us uprising of the people. The magnitude of this affair makes it a difficult task to fix the guilt up­ on any number of the participants--in fact the act seemed to involve the entire people of the parish and city of New Orleans, so profuse was their sympathy and extended their connection with the affair. In view of these considerations, the thorough examination of the subject has failed to disclose the necessary facts to Justify this Grand Jury in presenting in­ dictments. Respectfully submitted.

Prosident Harrison Mafcos HlnLMt Spttck In the Goldon State, President Harrison and party made the first portion of their journey in Northern California In a mild rainstorn, the first experience of that kind they haVe had in the Golden State. The President arose early, and was the only member of the party to greet the crowd that gathered about the train at To­ ll am a. He was loudly cheered and shook hands with all the people within reach. About half an hour later the train drew up at Red Bluff, where a large crowd with a band was assembled. They gavo the President a most enthusiastic wel- coma Captain Mattock, an old army coftirade, Introduced him to the people. The President in his speech, referred to Captain Mattock, and alluded to ̂ the number of Indiana people he had met in the State. Continuing he said: My friends, you have a most beautiful State, capable of promoting tho comfort ot your citizens In a very high degree, and, although already occupying a high place in the galaxy of States, it will, I am sure, take a much higher one. It is pleasant to see how the American spirit prevails among all your people, love for the flag And the Con­ stitution, those settled and permanent things that live whether men go or come. They come to us from our fathers, and will pass down to our children. You are blessed with a genial climate and a most productive soil. I see you have in this northern part of California what I have seen elsewhere, a well-ordered community, with churches and school houses, which indicate that you are not giving all your thoughts to material things, but are thinking of those things that qualify the BOUI for the hereafter. We have been treated to another surprise this morning In the first shower we have seen in California. I congratulate you that it rains here. May all blessings fall on you like tho gentle rain. [Cheers.] Postmaster General Wanamaker, Sec­ retary Rusk, and Mrs. Harrison were also introduced to the crowd and were loudly cheered. At Redding tho Presi­ dent and party were greeted with a na­ tional saiute and showers of bouquets from a throng of school children. The President addressed the throng, saying: Mv FELLOW CITIZENS; It Is very pleas­ ant as we near the northern line of Califor­ nia after having traversed the valleys of the South, and are soon to leave the State In which we have had so much pleusurable intercourse with the people, to see here as I have seen elsewhere a multitude contented, prosperous and happy. I am assured you are here a homogeneous people, all Amer­ icans, all by birth or by free choice lovers of one flag and onfe Consti­ tution'. [Cheers.] It seems to me as I look into the fae'es of these California audiences that life must be easier here than it is in the older St ates. I see abso­ lutely no, evidence of want. Every one seems to be well nourished. Your appear­ ance gives evidence that the family board Is well supplied, and the gladness on your faces is evidence that in your social rela­ tions everything Is quiet. orderly, and hope­ ful. I thank you for friendly demonstra­ tions. I wish it were possible for me to do more In exchange for all your great kind­ ness than' simply to say thank you. Bit I do fondly thank you and shall carry away from your State the very happiest impres­ sions and the very pleasantest memories. [Cheers.] , The Presidential party at Dunsmulr shook hands with a large number of old soldier?, and thanked the citizens for their reception. They arrived at Ashland, Oregon, shortly after 8 p. m., and received an en­ thusiastic welcome. A special commit­ tee from the Oregon State Legislature boarded the train and welcomed the President. The President made a happy response and also spoke to the crowd at the depot. After a stay of about thirty 'minutes the train pulled out, preceded by a special carrying the. legislative committee and prominent citizens. At Tacoma, Wash., the President and party arrived In the midst of a driving rainstorm- He was met at the depot by a procession composed of cotni auies of the National Guard, Sons of Veterans a troop of 'cavalry, pout* of iho O. A. R , Sons of America, odd Follows, Masons, and others. The I'roMUIont was escorted through the city to tlini'lty Park at Tacoma avenue, where the school chil­ dren wore lined on ottcli side of the street. The little tint*, dripping with rain, gave the President a hearty wel­ come. When the mri'lage stopped to cnablo him to make tlicin a brief ad­ dress he was covered with a shower of llowers. Tho party reached Portland from Seattle and left over the Union Pacific for the East. When the train left Port­ land the skies were clouded, but about half-past ten they cleared, and the re­ mainder of the trip through the pictur­ esque Valley of the Columbia was made in bright sunlight, which disclosed tho mountains and cascades in all their beauty and grandeur. One of tho pleas­ antest incidents of the run from Port­ land was the visit of the President and party to Multnomah Falls. The entire party left the train and spent several minutes admiring the slender veil of spray falling 850 feet from a cliff. The first stop of any importance was made at the Dalles, where the party received an enthusiastic ovation. Responding to an address of welcome by the Mayor, Presi­ dent Harrison said: "I quite sympathize with the sugges­ tion of your Mayor that it is one of the proper government functions to improve and open to safe navigation the water­ ways of our country. The Government having reserved to itself the exclusive control of all navigable inland water, it is of course incumbent upon the Govern­ ment to seo that the people h^yg fcjjo ] best possible use of theiit. They*are ijar. % porta'nt, as they furijisji cheap transport tation and touch joints that' are oiterf either for economy or natural reasoija inaccessible to railway tjaflRc."- Postmaster General W&n&Siiaker also made a sliort addresg. A-t Celilo the President visited a sal­ mon-canning establishment and was pre­ sented with a large box of salmon caught that morning. CALLS IT AN "ERROR. SECRETARY BLAINB'8 "' REPLY. 8HARP* tfco W ttt* Baeent f oinmunlcatiou--An Alleged T«l-- e|ram Not Delivered In Strict ConSdono*- •t Washington. Secretary Blaine replied to the die- patch of Premier Rudini to the Marquifr Imperiali, which was made public In a. green book at Rome and telegraphed to this country. The Secretary is even more sharp in the tone of the cablegram he sent to Rome than before, and dis­ tinctly contradicts a statement of th» Italian Premier. The dispatch Is- follows: - \ DEPARTMENT O» STATS, $ # WASHIHGTOS, D. C., May 4, 1881. ,f * % 1 Porter, Minister, Koine: A series of statements addressed to th» Marquis Imperial! by the Marquis Budlni was telegraphed from Rom# yesterday, and was published by the press of the United States to-day. The only part of the Marqula Rudlni's communication which this Gov­ ernment de-Ires to notice is the one hero quoted, namely, "I have now before me a. note addressed to you by Secretary Blaine, on April 14. It* p?rusal produces a most* painful impresdon on me. I will not sto]> to lay stress upon the lack of conformity with diplomatic usages displayed in mak~- lng use, as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate to do. of a portion of a telegram of mine com­ municated to him in strict confidence, in. order to get rid of a question clearly defined In Our official documents, which alone pos­ sess a diplomatic value." The telegram or March 34, concerning whose public use tho- Marquis Rudini complains, Is the followfng, which was quoted in full in my note of" April 14 to Marquis Imperiali, Oh&rg*- d'Affalres of Italy at this capital: ROME. March 24, 1891./ Italian Minister, Washington: Our requests to the Federal Govern meat- are very simple. Some Italian subjects ac­ quitted by the American magistrates liave^ been murdered in prison while under th»# Immediate protection of the authorities. Our right, therefore to demand and obtain- the punishment of the murderers and an» indemnity for the victims is'unquestionable. I wish, to add that the public opinion in Italy Is justly impatient, and if concrete- provisions were not at once taken I should! find myself In the painful necessity of show-- lng openly our dissatisfaction by recalllag~ the minister of his majesty from a country where he is unable to obtain justice. RUDINI. The intimation of the Marquis Rudinft that the telegram In question was delivered In strict confidence Is a total error. As a telegram expressed the demand of the Italian government it was impossible thafr- Marquis Rudini could transmit it in strict, confidence. As I have already stated, it was communicated to me in person by Baron Fava, written In English by his own. handwriting, without a suggestion of pri­ vacy, and the telegram it-elf has not a single mark upon it denoting a confidential character. I have caused a number of copies of the telegram to be forwarded to* you to-day in fac simile. The usual mark for italic printing was used by mo under four lines, and they appear in the copies. You will use the fac simile in such manner* as will most effectually prove the error, into which the Marquis Rudini has fallen. BLAIKB. It was plain to those who Baw Mr. Blaine that he was annoyed by the re­ mark of Rudini that he had failed to conform to diplomatic usages. Th& Premier also went so far as to accuse the American Secretary of disclosing a confidential dispatch in order to get around a question which tho Marqul» Intimates had puzzled him iu the pre­ vious negotiations. The Secretary by this reply has once more placed the Ital­ ian Premier in an unfavorable light, and has spoiled his attempt to let himself down easy. This dispatch necessitates- a reply from Rudini, and the opinion, among Government' -officials is that 16 cannot add anything to the dignity of his position or aid in maintaining ther Italian side of the controversy, Worms that Spoil -Coi'lu. Investigation in Franco proves tho existence of two or three types of moths in wine cellars. The^rube feed on the fungoid growtji that forms on the wine vats and moldy corks. The inject bores and forms galleries in the cork, nearest to the glass, and through the holes thus formed air gains access to tho wine, spoiling ft. The San Francisco Chronicle says: "Our chief difficulty in bottling wines has been in obtaining a supply of per­ fect corks. At least 25 per cc>it. of corks, after examination for fitness, are rejected. An examiulnation of several bins was mado at the vineyards, and it was found that the corks were per­ forated, and iu foire cases tho wine oozed through them. Now we are try­ ing a method to stop tho inroads of these grubs. After soaking the corks in hot water and then in brandy they were dried, and when they are put into the bottles the tops are coated with a layer of paraffinc wax previous to sealing them with the ordinary wax. We hope by tho use of the paraffine compound to stop the ravages of these insects. Neither the grubs nor insects feed upon the wine, but simply use the cork as a place to deposit their eggs, and the coating may possibly prevent their entrance. In "A. Minor" Key.

Dr. Ferd Wilson and friend went into a Broadway cigar store the other day. The friend selected a dark Havana, put one end betweeu his lips, rolled it a bit to moisten it, then pat the tip in the metal cutter on the counter and clipped it off. He then placed thfr clipped end in his month and drew in once or twice before lighting. He- coughed several times as he lighted the- ' weed. "Pardon me," said the doctor, "you should never do it that way. Here is the method." The doctor picked up another cigar, bit the end oft with his teeth, placed the other end ini his mouth and blew smartly once or twice and then leisurely lighted it. "You notice," said the doctor, "I did not cough. You did. The philosophy * of it is shis: when the end of a cigar is bitten off it crushes a small portion* of the tobacco into powder. If you. put the end immediately into your mouth and inhale, the small particlea are almost certain |o lodge- somewhere^ in the throat and cause irritation.. That makes you cough, and; if your- tonsils happen to be in the right direc­ tion for it, a case of bronchitis or worse- may compel you to call me in. I never use the clipper that is used by the* frequenters of a cigar store. The jority of the men moisten the tip of a cigar, as you did, before cutting it* Now you never know the oonditiom of the man who preceded you. Some< of the moisture from his lips, remains on the cutte?, flftd your cigar may take el "JJwfiitj years ago a young man came to me with cancer of the lip, contract­ ed as near as I could trace in the way I have described. He had had chapped lips at the time, and the poison got into his blood through a break in his skin. It was a particularly distressing affair. The young fellow was a per­ sonal friend of mine, and was engaged to be married. I knew his habits and conduct to be- above reproach, but h» was extremely sensitive. He broke off his engagement and went West, al­ though his prospects here were excel­ lent. ' I could only commend his course,, for disease had become fastened in hisi system. I pitied him from the bottom of my heart. So don't use the cigar clipper that others use."--New York Recorder. / ' - ^ Tho Old Way Best.
