ROOSEVELT SWORN IN. The Civil Service Board Once Again Has a Full Membership. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, the new civil ser- vice commissioner, arrived in the city this morning, and made his appearance at the of- fice of the civil service commission at the city hall about 10 o'clock. Mr. Roosevelt was not known personally to members of the commis- sion or the secretary, but, upon meeting Mr. Lyman introduced, himself. The only form necessary to constitute him a member of the board was soon attended to. This was the administering of the oath of office. Mr. Roose- velt subscribed to the oath and Mr. Doyle,who, besides being secretary of the board, sustains with dignity the responsibilities of a notary public, attached his notarial signature to the paper. This form completed also the organization of the board, which has not hada full membership since the resignation of Mr. Oberly. Mr. Roosevelt ae the morning in consultation.| with his colleagues, Mr. Lyman and ex-Gov. Thompson. It is expected that soon the sign bearing the name of ‘Commissioner Edgerton” over the most southerly of the three rooms occupied by the commissioners will be taken down and a new one with the name of “Com~- missioner Roosevelt” substituted, Mr. Roosevelt is young, with a good “5 desis a color suggesting perfect health, and a pleasant address. His face is adorned by nature with a light moustache, and artificially with a pair of gold-rimmed eyeglasses, When Tue Srar reporter spoke to him Mr. Roosevelt said he did not decide for some time after his appoint- ment was announced whether he would accept or not. “The character of my colleagues,” he said, with a smile to Mr. Lyman and ex-Governor Thompson, who were present, “constitute such an attraction that I could not resist.” “You have not. of course, had time to famil- iarize yourself with the duties of the office,” suggested the reporter. “Hardly,” said Mr, Roosevelt, “as I have been here only an hour. I suppose it will take me several weeks to learn all the details. Iam familiar, of course, ina general way with the civil-service law and with the spirit of civil- service reform, for I was instrumental in se- curing the passage of the New York state law. &# The way to advertise is to put your announcement where it will be seen by the people you want to reach, Tue StaR reaches everybody in Washington, and all advertise- tisements in its columns are regularly and carefully read by all members of the house- hold. a Tue Interstate Commence ‘ Comamsstox.— Judges Cooley, Morrison, and Bragg, members of the interstate commerce commission, left to-day for Titusville, Pa., where they will give a hearing in the Pennsylvania oil cases on the 16th and 17th insts.

There was no ceremony beyond taking the oath of office and the usual introduction of the officers and em- ployes of each of the bureaus to the new chiefs, Nor Parxttyas,—Assistant Secretary Tich- enor has decided that cups, vases, horns, &c., made of copper and ornamented with painted enamel designs, are not paintings in the ordi- nary meaning of the term, but are properly subject to duty at the rate of 50 per cent ad valorem under the provision for manufactures of copper.

Secretary Proctor to Return To-N1GHT.— A telegram was received at the War department this morning from Chicago, stating that Secre- tary Proctor and party would return to the city to-night from their western tour of inspec- tion. It was expected that they would spend several days between Chicago and the east atter visiting St. Paul, and finally stop at West Point, after which the Secretary intended to go up to his home in Vermont for a few days, arriving here about the 22d. It isnot known at the department what has occurred to change the plans thus, but it is feared that the Secretary may not be well.

Loxpon, May 13.—The talk of the town is the Police raid in the early hours of yester- day morning on two gambling clubs where baccarat is played. ‘The presence among the captured gamblers of Earl Dudley, Lord Lurgan and Lord Henry Aulet is much dis- cussed, but more remarkable is the capture of alarge number of persons belonging to re- spectable professions.

GOSSIP OF LONDON. Opinions of the Lords as to the Prince of Wales’ Recent Vote. Loxpox, May 13.—The perennial farce of in- troducing and rejecting the queen’s bill per- mitting marriage with a deceased wife's sister having been gone through with as usual, sev- eral members of the house of lords, including some who voted in the affirmative, have pro- claimed their intention of varying the monoto- nous course of Been nee the next time it is brought forward by giving their opinions of the animus which impels their august sovereign. The tolerably close vote of 147 to 120 has aroused a fear that at some future time the verdict of the lords expressed so many times, may be by a mischance reversed, and the point for which the queen has so obstinately con- tended for many years be carried at last, The Prince of Wales, of course, yoted in the affirmative, although by this time he is doubt- less tired of the whole affair and would gladly see it buried in oblivion. Know- ing the prince's opinion on the subject, a cer- tain duke has not hesitated to allude to his spaniel-like subserviency to his mother's pet whim in sarcastic terms, but the said duke has an enormous income, of which he does not spend the half, while the prince is over- whelmed with debts and is obliged to act warily with aneye to his mother’s hoarded millions. THE TORIES AND MR. PARNELL. The tories, as might have been expected, are still making the most of Mr. Parnell’s admis- sion that his statement regarding the non-ex- istence of secret societies was hardly war- ranted by the facts. Sir Richard Webster's bullying conduct may be attributed to this fact, and Justice Hannen’s changed demeanor, which has puzzled so many, is no doubt due to the same cause. But by pens, their mo-~ mentary advantage too far they have overshot their mark, and a reaction has set in, Archbishop Walsh’s confident announcement before the Parnell commission of his expecta~ tion of seeing the Irish flag waving over Col- lege Green in Dublin has awakened the real or affected mirth of the conservative organs, has aroused the regretof judicions patriots, and to this and other unwise utterances of hot- headed partisans is Brobably owing to the stiffness of Justice Hannen, who has been hitherto undeniably fairer toward Mr. Parnell than his associates have been, but who, to watchful observers, seems to have lately ab- sorbed of their prejudices against the Irish party. If this proves to be true, Mr. Parnell may thank his too zealous friends for having spoiled much of the effect of Sir Charles Rus- sell's speech. epee SOCIALISTS ACTIVE. One Elected in Narbonne—The Marseil- laise Hymn Sung. Panis, May 13.—A municipal election was held at Narbonne yesterday which resulted in avictory for the socialist candidate.

He denies that he was in that territory prior to the day of opening, and says he was on the Cheyenne reservation.

The Stories About Dr. Cronin Cannot be Verified. Cmecico, May 18—The Daily News this morning says: Every effortto verify the To- ronto stories about Dr, Cronin has proved abortive. In answer toa telegram sent from this office to a prominant and reliable editor of Toronto came the reply: “So far as known Cronin is not here, It is suspected he is in St. Catherines, where he has many friends, but there is no certainty.” 4 PART OF THE SAME PLOT. It's all part of the same plot,” said Mr. ‘onklin, “I know ‘Lang,’ and Dr. Cronin knew him and befriended him often. The statements made in the alleged interview are absurd. We have been right throughout, and you will see a change in public sentiment in a few days.” LANG A BRITISH SPY. Mrs. Conklin denounced “Lang” bitterly and accused him of being a British spy. One of the nationalists, who is friendly to Cronin and also to the murder theory, said: “It is easy enongh to understand why such reports are telegraphed from Toront William Starkey is there, His share in the initiation of the plot Cronin is well understood, and, besides, 'y is a Clan-na-Gael man, and would have an interest in starting such reports,” A DISCOVERY HAS BEEN MADE in the Lake View trunk mystery. Some time Saturday night, May 4, a large boat was stolen from Anderson's fleet of rowboats, kept at the foot of Diversey avenue, only a short distance north of the place where Frank Woodruff says he left King and Fairburn with the body that was in the trank. The theft of this boat the night the disposal of the body in the trunk was made may have been merely a coincidence, but Capt. Schaack is inclined to the theory that it was stolen by King and Fairburn after they took the body from the trunk and sent Wood- ruff away. LOOKING UP AN EXTRADITION. The following is given out on good authority this morning: “February 25 Dr. Cronin called on Mr. Burrell, of the Western Bureau of Press Clippings, in this city, and requested him to coliect for him all the newspaper clip- ings he could on the subject of extradition. The elerks accordingly got up for him a yol- uminons pile of matter. March 15. when they were delivered to the doctor, he expressed his dissatisfaction because the majority of articles favored extradition, and said he wanted argu- ments against extradition for a friend of his in Philadelphia, annie BIG FIRE IN NORFOLK. The Boy whose Carelessness Caused it Literally Roasted. Nonrorx, Va., May 13.—Sparheis’ gasoline establishment and a barrel factory adjoining, with four houses, were burned here this morn- ing.

New York, May 13.—The east gable wall of the old high-stoop house, No, 151 Spring street, which is being torn down to make room for a big business building, fell at moon to-day while seven men were at work under it. Two were killed out- One of the killed is a German known as and the other is named Gitten, were both crushed to death under the wall. Foreman George Thomas had one ide of his face crushed in and will hardly live. Thomas Crow, another workman, was slightly hurt. A building inspector looked at the wall twenty minutes before it fell and noticed that it was properly propped. He had hardly turned before the men took away the braces, preparatory to tearing down the wall. Two hours before this John Hartman, fitty | years old, was fatally injured at 182 South Fifth avenue, where a similar work was in progress. A piece of the wall fell on him and knocked him senseless, —_—_—_s—____ From Wall Street To-Day. New York, May 13, 11 a, m.—The opening of the stock market this morning was dull and fairly steady, many stocks showing no change from Saturday's closing figures, while others were but slight fractions different. After a little hesitation the market moved upward, and Rock Island took the lead with a gain of 1 per cent, followed by Chicago Gas and the others with fractional advances. There were some slight recessions from the highest price later in the hour, but the tone still remained strong, and the dealings developed no further feature. At 11 o'clock the market was quiet but firm to strong at or about the best prices reached, saber “sti To Prevent a Railroad Consolidation. Cievetaxp, May 13.—Judge Stevenson Burke has begun legal action to prevent the Bee Line Big Four consolidation. The points of his objection are: ‘The proposed contract as made is not authorized by any statute in Ohio; it is in conflict with the provisions of the stat- utes; the increase of capital stock to the amount of $5,000,000 is illegal and subjects every stockholder receiving it, in case of insolvency of the company, to an obligation to pay par for it, beside increased statutory liabilities of the stockholders to the extent of 25,000,000; the contract in question absolutely prohibits’ the board the majority of the stockholders, howe ver large, from contracting any indebtedness or leasing any other railroad proper consent of a majority of the preferred stock- hoiders; there is no Statutory authority in this state allowing the issue of preferred stock and surrender of common stock. It provides $10,- 000,000 of preferred sto thus watering the $5,000,000; this is also unlawful. _—_—» Remanded for a Week.

The Earl of Dudley and Lord Lurgan were among the prisoners arraigned. The Earl of Dudiey appeared to be ashamed of the position in which he found himself, but Lord Lurgan assumed a defiant gir.

J., May 13.—The trial of Andrew Grimes, a brutal-looking colored sea- man, for the murder of Mate John Martin, of the New York schooner Annie 8. Carl at Atlantic City last Christmas day, opened this morning before Supreme Court Judge Reed and Judges Byrnes, Cordery and Schull and a crowd which overflowed the court-room. Grimes sat be~ hind his counsel, J. H. Abbott and Hon. J. B. Nixon, sullenly staring at the witnesses, County physician Riley described the six ghastly stab wounds and testified that the mate bled to death. Capt. Gilbert E. Newton, of Brooklyn, said Grimes was surly and disobe~ dient and had boasted of stabbing men in North Carolina. The weapon and door which Grimes splintered with his knife in getting at his victim were ex- hibited. After Grimes stabbed the mate he threw the body overboard. Seaman Stokes, the only witness of the tragedy, testified that the murderous assault was unprovoked. When the mate called for help Grimes threatened to kill Stokes if he move The trial will probably end to-morrow in @ verdict of murder in the first degree. nascent A BOY’S MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Said to Have Resulted From Blows Ine flicted by His Teacher. Yonkers, N. Y., May 18.—Henry Dimuth, seven years old, died at St. Jobn’s hospital on Saturday night under very suspicious circum- stances.

Cuicaco, May 18.—A special from Tahlequah, L.T., says: The Cherokees are somewhat ex- ercised over the attitude of Chief Joel B. Mayes with regard to the sale of Cherokee strip to the United States. The initial step toward the purchase is the calling together of the Cherokee legislature for approval of the sales. Chief Mayes, however, refuses to convene the ture for such a purpose. A majority of the Indians are opposed to the sale and sustain M@yes, but a powerfal minority is urging him | to convene the general assembly and settle the | price to be paid for the land. ie is understood | the commissioners will offer $1.75 per acre, | but the Cherokees are not likely to accept that figure, holding that $4 or &5 per acre would be no more than the land is worth, While the diversity of opinion as to the sale at any price is great, it is understood that if the 6,000,000 embraced in the strip could be dis) d of for 24,000,000 to the government a sale might be effected. Unless Chief Mayes will be upon to convene the legislature it would be defeated, as the purchase cannot be made with- out the sanction of that body. —————— A Catholic Church Burned.
