Linn, U. 8 consul at Piedras Negras, Mexico, has reported to the State department the facts concerning the Arresures case, closing by saying: ‘‘Ibelieve the killing of Arresures to have been a brutal murder, perpetrated in defiance of law, and without any justifying causes. It was’ com- mitted, too, when @ demand for his return to the United States had been made by an officer fally authorized by the government to make it.

A BOGUS SPECIAL EXAMINER OF THE PENSION OFFICE ARRESTED, For several weeks past the Pension office has been in receipt of letters frome Baltimore, ask- ing whether a special examiner hud been sent to that city to collect money from pensioners and applicants for pension. One of the writers said that she was an applicant for pension, and that she hud been approached by a man claim- ing to be a special examiner of the Pension office, who demanded money from her, whicn, he sald, was necessary o pass her claim in the office; she gave him several dollars and agreed to pay bim a further sum next Wednesday, but becoining suspicious she wrote to the Pension Office tor information. It was also learned that the bogus examiner, on several occasions, aa sumed the name of George L, Lemmon, and represented that his ollice was at 615 16tb street, this olty. When questioned by his vie- tims ‘regarding his identity, he would refer them to the Pension office, Where he sald tnat ‘he was well known, The address given by the impostor is that of Captain George E. Lemon, the well-known attorney, and owing to that fact, and the similarity in’ names, he succeeded in defrauding a number of peopie. He has no connection with Captain Lemon's office, nor 18 he known there, in the hands of Special Agent Jacobs, of the Fension office, who Teporia that the sellow's real name is William H.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS BOTH THINK IT WILL BE THE OLD FIGHT OVER AGAIN, Political prophets are practically unanimous in the prediction that 1888 is going to see Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blaine again in the fleld op- Posing each other, Democrats with whom a STAR reporter has talked on the subject from time to time agree, almost without exception, that Mr. Cleveland is almost certain to be Tenominated. Since Congress has adjourned things have occurred which it is thought point more directly to this, It is believed, too, that the President himselt is no longer in doubt about entering the lists, It is believed that he has abandoned the idea of serving but one term. The popularity he has gained among the people at large, his success {n holding the favor of the mugwumps, without alto- gether alienating his own party leaders, and the fact that he has no rival in the fleld, seem to point to_his renomination, alnost as a certainty. Besides this, it is thought that he has added to his chances by the appointment of Magone as collector of the port of New York, and by the apparent change of pohiey tn the ‘treasury department. It is mali ined by Secretary Fairchild that thero is really no change of policy, and that the large bond calls are only in accordance with the views held from the first. At all events, the fact that there have been largo bond calls, and that the silver is being circulated toa greater extent than ever before, has silenced much of the most bitter opposition against the adminis- tration in the party, and made the western element more willing to accept Cleveland as an available candidate, Mr. Blaine’s friends think his chances for se- curing the republican nomination are greatly ine! by his being “out of politics” just now. They think that the rivalry between the other candidates, who have been brushing ‘against each other during the winter, puts them all out of the question. “Belng out of the way, Blaine has not Irritated his rivals by protrusive ambition, and he has been left alone, while Sherman, Logan, Edmunds and the rest were cutung éach others throats. Meanwhile, Mr. Blaine’s friends have very adroitly shaped things so as to make the campaign issves those with which the Maine knight is most directly associated as champion. ‘The issues mace in Mr. McPherson’s campaign book are said to represent Mr. Blaine throughout, and are practically what he will make point on in his speeches in Maine this fall, The campaign this fall, it is said, will follow a lino marked out by Mr. Blaine, and will bring to the front questions upon which he is particular! strong. His closest friends make no conce: ment of the fact that they consider him the most available candidate in the party, and that they expect circumstances to lead to his nomi- pation. JI is Puenteie speeches in laine during the coming campaign will em- phasize this, = —__s9¢___ ON LAKE SARANAC. The Presidentand Mrs. Cleveland Listen to a Sermon in a Log Chapel. Saturday the President and Mrs. Cleveland took a trip on Saranac lake, on asteam launch belonging to Mr. Watts Cook, of Paterson, N. J.

Two little boys from the hotel pasged around the) plates, re- turning them heaped with silver and bills. The clergyinan commenced bis sermon, taken from Galatians, 1, 23. ‘The President and his wife listened attentively throughout the sermon, which was delivered slowly and impressively by the young minister. Thore was no refer- ence throughout the service to the President's Presence, ‘The President seems entirely satisfled with his present surroundings, and will probably re- main where he is for the present. Fishing is, and will continue to be, his chief amusement, 80 long as the fish last. ‘In this he 1s seconded by Mrs. Cleveland, who seems to be fascinated with the sport and eager to have another try at the speckled beauties. It was announced yes: ferday that the party would go to Lake Placid Tocsday and spend the night at the Stevens house, and on their return through the Keoné valley, one of the most beautiful spots in the mountains, but the President to-day vetoed the trip for the present.

Thonsands of People at Washington Grove—Temperance and Religious Meetings. Correspondence of Tax EVENING STAR. WastinaTon Grove, Mp., August 22. ‘This was not a day of rest in the Grove, but of unrust. Vehicles innumerable and five heavy laden trains, each of at least seven coaches, emptied their living cargoes in camp before noon. It being the last Sunday, all who were here before and all who could not attend but once came together, making a compact mass of humanity that was estimated to contain at least 14,000 persons. The afternoon train brought its portion also, and so the tide flowed in and on, At9 am. Rev, Richard Norris, who yesterday returned from Ocean Grove, conducted a Prayer and consecration meeting in the taber- hacle. It was the largest and most impressive Prayer service of the camp meeting. The audi- gnee was composed principally of country folks. Dr. Naylor, of Foundry, preached at 11 a.m. in the auditorium. Although the avenues were barricaded, yet within the circle the buzz and hum of motion and conversation went on, and only those in the tabernacle and surrounding seats could hear the voice of the preacher. At the same hour a Bible reading and prayer servico was held on the stand In the grove near the depot, attonded by several hundred people and led ‘by Mrs, McK. Riley, Rev. John Ed- wards, Mr. James Somerville and Major Hall. The subject was The Prodigal Son.” Two conversions were reported as the result of this service. At 2 o'clock the children’s Sabbath- school service drew an immense congregation. Rev. J. Edwards, who had this meeting in charge, made it particularly interesting. At3 o'clock, while the public worship at the taber- nacle waSin progress, the ladies also held their usual afternoon prayer and testimony meet- ing, under the canvas tabernacle on Grove avenue, The meeting was of unusual interest and continued. At 4:30 o'clock the gospel tem- Perance meeting began at the depot stand, Addresses were inade by Messrs. Chas. Nye and James Lee to an audience of about 2, At the same time Rev. Wm. H. Chapman, of Ry- land, preached to an immense congregation In the auditorium, At 6:30 an interesting vesper service wus held at the Grove avenue tent b: the young people. Rev. J.

A SERIES OF SUCH ACCIDENTS IN THIS CITY. A laborer, named Jacob Cuase, employed on the new wing of the State department build- ing, fell from a ladder a distance of twelve or fifteen feet about 9 o'clock this morning, and injured his side and elbow seriously, although itis thought that no bones were broken, He was conveyed to Providence hospital in the police ambulance. He was at work at gas fit- ting, and in order to 1x a pipe for a chandelier he mounted an unsound ceiling ladder. ‘The ladder gave way and he was precipitated to the brick floor below, This is the first accident ofany moment that bas occurred during the consiruction of this building. Great care has always been taken to place safeguards about the men working In dangerous “positions, so that an accident could only occur ‘through’ in- dividual carelessness. The same can be said Tegarding the construction of the Washington monument. ‘There seems, however, to be an epidemic of falls among workingmen. A painter fell ou Connecticut avenue lust. Friday and broke both legs and an arm, and a work- man fell at the White House Saturday and in- jured his head seriously. A hed carrier work- ng on a buildingon Vermont avenue slipped from atadder tuis morning tell to the ground, and was severely, if not seriously, in- jured. “I can’t understand why there should be so many accidents among workingmen lately,” said a gentleman to-day, “unless they are out of practice by being without work so long on account of the strike and have forgot- ten how to handle themscives.” es Three Applicants for Divorce. MES, MAJOR GENERAL CARROLL'S CHARGES AGAINST HEK HUSBAND—TWO MORE UNHAP- PY COUPLES. Mrs, Helen Morrell Carroll to-day, by her at- torney, J. Ambler Smith, filed a petition pray- ing for divorce from her husband, Gen. Lemuel Sprigg Carroll, praying the custody of their hild, also that her husband be restrained from speaking 1o,or in any way intertering with her uring the pendency of the suit; aiso, that he e ordered to pay into the registry of the court, 3300 each month up to the finul decree of the court, as allmony and a reasonable counsel fee. ‘The bill of complainant shows a rather remarkable state of circumstances. In it Mrs, Carroll states that they were married, and later toescape cruel treatment she obtained a di- vorce. On April 20, 1885, at the urgent solici- tation of Ges. Carroll and on his promise to abstain from strong drink and to love, cherish and honor her, they were remarried. For theen- suing twelve months he seemed determined to carry out the promise, then he fell into the com. pany of bad men and women, and his whole conduct changed. He treated the complainant with great indignity, and refused to furaish her with ‘the comiorts Or mere necessaries of lite. ‘He begun drinking again, and frequently when under such influence abused her most shame- fully, called her vile names and would curse and Swear so that at times she was made ill, She states that her husband is a major generai in the United States army, on the retired list, ‘and openly boasts that the courts here dare noi interiere with him and that be will treat her ug he chooses. Mrs. Carroll farther charges that about the 25th of December, 1885, and at other limes since, Gen. Carroll committed adultery with Madeline Sinclair at No. 408 13th street northwest, she keeping a disreputable house at that place, also that he spent large sums of money in treating and buying wine ior her and two other disreputable characters {n the house, and that he has been guilty of other acts of in fidelity with other lewd and abandoned wo- men. Under these circumstances the petitioner prays for rellet, as above stated. Hey. E. D. Owen, pastor of the Union M. E. chapel, August 18, 1873, united Jno. F. Bailey and Lucy A.

RUSSIA LORD OF THE BALKANS. STREET CAR SIRE IN NEW YORK. TEXANS OLAMORING FOR PROTECTION. THE BULGARIAN VOLCANO. The News from the Balkans Excites Grave Apprehensions in London. ‘Special Cable Dispatch to Tuk EVENING Stan. Loxpox, August 23.—The prophecy of an eminent continental publicist, which I cabled on August 10th, that an outbreak in the Bal- kans was imminent,is fulfilled this morning in a way which has convulsed diplomatic Europe. ‘The reports received up to noon are scanty and inconsistent, evidently doctored by the authorities through whose hands they have passed. The provisional government in Bulgaria is exercising the severest censorship without, however, the almost ludicrous candor of the president's proclamation, the genesis of the coup d’ etat is perfectly clear. Russian newspapers to-day try mainly to express mild surprise. Foreign correspondents describe the news as having falien like thunderbolts upon the leading continental centers, 1 learn, how- ever, that Earl Rosebery a few weeks ago, in reply toa friend who congratulated him on the settlemdant of the Balkan difficulty, said: ~Set- Uement! there is no such thing as a settle- ment on the Balkans. It isonly a question of a longer or shorter interval between successive eruptions of volcanos.” This revolution is simply the latest move of the Russian govern- ment. An important point, however, is one of which nothing yet is publicly known, whether the surprise on ‘the continent is real or teigned, whether Russia is acting with or without the tacit consent of her partners in the triple alli- ance. In Paris the latter is believed to be the case. The affair is welcomed there because Prince Alexander is a German and is favored by England. In Berlin and Vienna the belief is geveral that the triple alliance will work harmoniously in this affair. If the last view be true, the uffair is one of extreme gravity tor England, because it would show that Russia is deliberately upsetting the latest result of Eng- lish statesmanship with Germany and Austria, who could bold her in check, calmly looking on, There is a further equally disquieting rumor that an understanding exists between Turkey and Russia. The worst interpretation is given the situation by the Berlin Post, which in times of crisis has generally been Bismarck's mouthpiece. Writing with great amiability towards Russia and unfriendliness towai England, declares the entente between these empires will become more conspicuous thah ever. The Standard describes the news as of the gravest significance. The Daily News says it is very grave and ominous. Tue Pall Mall says Lord Salisbury has nothing to do except to wait and see what line is. cen by the other powers, because England has no longer the power, even if she had the Will, to interfere by force of arms in the Baikans. By Amoclated Press. Russia Lord of the Balkans. COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS ON THE BULGARIAN CRISIS. says it proves that the Bulgarians are incapable of becoming @ united nation; proclaims that trumpet-ongued Russia is again lord of the Balkan range and of the Bulgarian on the Euxine ea, and must awaken lively re- tieetions in the minds of the Ottomans. The Morning Post says: “It is evident that Prince Alexander's courage has been worn out by the siow course of the incessant intrigue and conspiracy with which he found himself con- fronted.” The News says: “It is obvious that Prince Alexander was deprived of his throne by the direct orders ot the czar. The official Version of the revolution isso flagrantly and transparently dishonest that it will not deceive acbud. The efiect may be extremely serious, Russia's action is absolutely unwarrantable and without exeuse, The argument of the Berlin Post, that the revolution implies a Rus- sian victory over English influence in the east, is absurd.” No power fs less interested than England. Alexander was nominally a vassal of the sultan, and if itcan be shown that he was deposed ‘without the sultan’s consent, a grave international difficulty will at once be WHERE 18 THE PRINCE?
