Teams Te Si SHIP BUILDING ACTIVE. Many British Builders are Refusing Orders for New Vessels,They are so Busy. Loxpox, June 14.—The ship builders in Great Britian have never been so busy as they are at present, and they are so hard pressed that many of,them are absolutely refusing all orders for new vessels, The Clyde ship builders have some 150 vessels of the aggregate tonnage of 300,000 on hand, and yet the output of new work during the past iow weeks has been con- siderably less than the contracts secured, On the Mercy the same state of affairs exists, and from Stockton is that the good old times when a beggar on Tees-Side wags almost asrareasadado are rapidly returning. On the banks of the Tyne there are eighty vessels building, while at Sunderland, on the Wear, — sixty or seventy are in course of c ace a. BUILDING FOR FOREIGN COUNTRIES. The most significant fact about this remark- able revival in the ship-building industry is the large number of vessels building for foreign countries, There are at the present time on the stocks in this country ships representi 80,000 tons for Germany, 17,000 for Portugal, 10,000 each for France, Norway and the British colonies, 9,000 for South America, and 7,000 for ——. raging again in England. sugar war is raging aga ng] For a long time Englishmen have been so thoroughly overwhelmed with Irish questions that politics and Ireland have almost synonymous terms. So engrossing has the Irish question become in the past few years that not many matters of purely domestic con- eern could ‘take anything but a secondary place 3n British politics. It is quite a relief now to find Englishmen growing excited over a polit- ical subject that hasn’t the remotest connection with Ireland or the Irish. PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE. The government wants to give the sugar re- finers in England a living chance again by tak- ing steps in conjunction with other powers to abolish the bounty system in other countries, which system, it is claimed, has swept the English refiners out of existence. The fight begins to assume the appearance, on @ more limited field, of course, of the American con- troversy between protection and free trade, On the one side are ranged those who want cheap sugar and don't care a continental about the sugar industries. These insist that the gov- ernment has no business to interfere, If for- eign governments are silly enough, they say, to pay their subjects to make sugar for England, why should Englishmen object. On the other side are those whose concern is only for British industries and who care nothing about cheap commodities, These want bounty-fostered eu- gar excluded from the kingdom for the benefit of home production. AMERICANS HERE ARE AMUSED and not a little surprised at the thorough-going protectionist arguments presented by the latter class, the partisans of the government. They are arguments which would fit snugly into a ey memes stump speech in America, and to ind them reproduced in free-trade England is a little » After all, on this =, there are two parties in England, as there are in the United States—tbe party of the producer and the partyof the consumer, and in the sugar question here, as in the broader tariff question in America, whether a man take one side or the other will depend entirely on whether he sees the matter from the stand- oint of the consumer or from that of the pro- lucer. —e——— MINOR FOREIGN NEWS.

MORE TESTIMONY TAKEN. the Chicago Grand Jury. Cutcago, June 14—The special grand jury resumed its investigations in the Cronin case this morning, but its proceedings were as devoid of interesting developments as those of yesterday. In fact it hourly be- comes apparent that the inquiries of the grand jury are to be little more than « repetition of the tions of the coroner's nest, itnesses are being summ: and ling their same old stories over “with not even variation enough to excite interest. in The sam they are IDENTIFYING MARONEY. W. P. Hatfield, salesman for A. H. Revell & Co., the furniture dealers, was before the jury this morning and testified as to the particulars of the purchase by “J. B. Simons,” of the fur- niture of the Carison cottage. He was shown @ photograph of JohnJ. Maroney, the New York aepect and testified that it resembled greatly the individual who paraded under the alias of Simons. The likeness is acknowledged, even by those who know Maroney, to be a somewhat defective one, and Mr. Hatfield, who had no cause to scrutinize Simons, can hardly be ex- ed to tively as to detailed re- [asec ahehae Cte however, is deemed conclusive enough to leave no doubt that A TRUE BILL WILL BE RENDERED against Maroney, and indictments may be re- ported at any time against the man and his suspected accomplice in crime, Charles Mc- Donald, SULLIVAN'S BANK ACCOUNT. Interest in the proceedings revived when, Just before noon, Byron L. Smith, receiver of the defunct Traders’ bank, mounted the steps followed by a messenger bearing the ban! books of 1! the date of Alexander Sullivan's speculations on the of trade. Luke Dillon ascended with eager foot- steps a moment later, and was shortly followed by Toba W. Moore, of the firm of J. T. Lester & Co., Sullivan's brokers, The advent of these witnesses meant that the attention of the jury had been, for the time being, directed from Maroney and McDonald to an inquiry into Alexander Sullivan's alleged speculation with Clan-na- Gael funds, the impression prevailed that an indictment — possibly be returned against Sullivan ere p. m. to-day, the hour of Judge Tuley's decision in the habeas corpus case. This impression took the form of convic- tion in the minds of many when, at 12 o'clock, the jury declined to adjourn for dinner, but —— its examination of Byron L.

He joined the Cobour; garrison battery many years ago, By his ze and attention to duty he soon worked his way up to the position of sergeant-major, and served in that capacity in 1866, during the Fenian raid, when his battery was stationed in the old fort at Toronto, As soon as he was released from service he went to Rochester, where he became the head-center of a Fenian organization. From Rochester he went to Chicago, His name appears on the old service roll of the two bat- teries of artillery that were quartered in the old fort, and it may be found on the pay sheets of the militia department of Ontario. A Clan-na-Gael’s Suicide. Isptaxapouis, Ixp., June 14.—The suicide of Patrick A. Ward, leader of the Clan-na-Gael in this city, last night created # great sensation.

The Members of the Louisville Club Protest Against Fines. Baxtrmmonz, Mp., June 14.—There is serious trouble between Manager Davidson and the members of the Louisville base ball club, and the men are striking against their manager, When the players returned from the game last evening Manager Davidson fined Second Baseman Shannon $25 for two errors he had made, and fined Catcher Cook $15 for poor base running. Jimmy Wolf, the captain, ad- vised the men to do nothing rash, but try to reason with Davidson to have fines remitted, Then Wolf went out for a walk, and when he returned an hour later found Manager Davidson in the reading-room of the hotel with an official looking document in his hand. 1t was a protest signed by all the players against the fines, and notifying the manager that if they were not remitted they would not pity ball to- day. Davidson was irate and said he would not budge an inch, Captain Wolf pleaded with him, but he said that if the club did not play to-day he would fine every man $100, and that in case they did play and lost, he would im $25 on each man, Then he left for New York, This morning the players sent a long telegram to Wyckoff. explaining the situation. They are still firm, and there is every prospect that they wont go to the grounds this afternoon. Special Meeting of the American Associ- ation.

THE PRESIDENT’S OUTING TO-MORROW—COR- G@RESSIONAL VISITORS TO-DAY AND WEY THEY CALLED—A TALK WITH ONE OF THEM—AN EARLY AND LIVELY SESSION OF CONGRESS PREDICTED. The President will make another trip down the Potomac to-morrow in Postmaster-Gen- eral Wanamaker’s yacht Restless. He will leave here in the morning about 10 o'clock and wil probably not return before Sunday evening. A number of gentlemen have been invited to accompany him, including several members of the cabinet. Another Harrison turned up at the White House to-day, The name, Carter Harrison, was printed in script on a card artistically cut off at the corners so as to make it hexagonal. It was not the card of Carter Harrison of Chi- cago. This one was from Virginia, of the old line of Carters and Harrisons, 4 RUSH QF CONGRESSMEN TO-DAY, ‘When there is no hope of offices being dis- tributed the Congressinen grow less profuse in their attentions on the President, They call Jess often and leave the matter of office-seck- ing more to the candidates themselves. The list of intments sent out last evening awake e drowsy interest of these states- men and they ap) atthe White House in eater numbers they have for some time. 6 4 sorbed list of callers for the day was smaller than usual, but the number of pre- sentatives among them showed a marked in- crease. Senators Devis and Teller, and Repre- nae prose = Roney pie of Indiana, mn, Delano, Pugsley an Brower were among the early callers. Ex-Sen- stor McDonald called with a friend. WANTS A POSTMASTER BOUNCED, Mr. Cutcheon has just come from the unveil- ing of the Michigan monument at Gettysburg. While down this way he dropped around to see the President about some little mattersof in- terest to the Michigan folks, As arule he is not seeking the removal of presidential post- masters in his district before the expiration of their terms, but there are two or t! cases where for sufficient cause he would like the democrats bounced at once. One such bounc- ing has already occurred, and now there is one pending. Inconnection with this one he talked with the President to-day, It is the post-office at his home, Manistee, Mich, He says that the democratic postmaster does not perform the duties of the office at all, and does not pretend to. Heisarich man, and such of the salary as he does not pay to his deputy to look after the office he gives to the democratic committee for campaign p' 8. Mr. Cutcheon says he has never seen him in the post-office since he has been postmaster, The man expects to be removed, and Mr. Cutcheon wants the Presi- dent to fulfil his expectations. He also spoke to the President in the interest of ex-Gov. Fair- child, who wants a foreign mission, REPRESENTATIVE CUTCHEON TALKS ABOUT THE COMING SESSION. Mr. Cutcheon expects to return home Mon- day. Hehasnot quite made up his mind whether or not it is likely that he will be called back with the rest of his colleagues before De- cember. He would not be surprised if Con- gress were called together after October. He expressed the opinion to » Stam reporter that when Congress met there would be a hard fight over the adoption of rules for the next House; that the session would start off lively and be pretty interesting all the way through. He said he thought the tariff would be handled on the same lines peoposed by the republicans in the last Congress, that they would propose a large reduction on sugar duty, add to the free list to the extent of $5,000,000, and practically repeal the tobacco tax. ‘WILL PROBABLY BAG A CONSULATE. Ex-Representative Horr, of Michigan, who was to see the President the other day, left with the promise of an important consularship. He at first wanted Montreal, but it was not con- venient to give him that. CANNOT AGREE ON A CANDIDATE, ‘The two Minnesota Senators are ina fight over some of the appointments in their state. The chief contest is over the United States dis- trict attorneyship. Mr. Washburn’s candidate for that office is Mr. Eugene G,. Hay, formerly of Indiana, who besides this advantage in the contest enjoys the warm personal friendship of President Harrison. Mr. Washburn thinks he has chosen his candidate wisely and that he will get the appointment. Mr. Davis called on the President to-day in the interest of his candidate for that place, who is M. H. Steeverson. He had also the names of men for the United States marshal- ship and the internal-revenue collectorship, whose appointment he was urging. It is under- stood that he was not perfectly satisfied with the situation after the interview. THREE PEGS FOR ONE HOLE. Three candidates are actively engaged in puzzling the President as to the appointment of internal revenue collector for the fourth district of North Carolina, They are Messrs, Hawkins, White, and Young. Kepresentative Brower has been working very hard for Mr. Hawkins, but the three candidates have been shufiied over each other so fast that the Presi- dent has not been able to keep his eye on any one of them. His idea is now to shut his eyes and grab. The contest has been going on for sometime, and it is regarded now as most im- sucess that it should be settled. The Presi- lent asked Mr. Brower to-day if it would not be satisfactory if he (the President) selected for himself any one of the three. Mr. Brower was obliged to consent to that, and it is likely that Mr. Young will get the appointment. THE DUNKARDS AND OTHER CALLERS, Before the general reception to-day the President shook hands with one hundred and twenty-six more Dunkards in his private of- fice. The Dunkards in their quiet shaker way have almost had possession of the White House during the past two da; Among the other callers were: Rear Admiral Fairfax, Dr. C. F, Rand, of Batavia, N, Y.; John B, McClellan, of Alabama; Edward Waddill, jr., of Virginia; O. W. Conrad, Logansport, Ind.; C. W. Stapleton, county clerk, Madison county, A PENSION OFFICE CHANGE.

As Hackman d out of the door he (H.) said: “This isn't the last of it. I'll get even with him.” On cross-examination witness said they were talking about a check, and Cunningham's man- ner was not overbearing, but both were irri- tating. Thinks Cunningham struck Hackman in the mouth rather quick and strong. —— James B. Clark, clerk of the House of of Dr. Cunningham as to the Tatum dut check, and stated that Cunningham had no Tight to deliver the check to Hackman, as he | had been instructed to deliver no checks to ore than the payees except upon written order, An objection and the ruling out of the offer on exception was noted. w. Nichols, assistant doorkeeper, testi- fied that he saw Hackman March 11 fifteen or twenty minutes before the shooting. He was with several parties at the time. The defense proposed to prove that Phillips asked the witness if he did not want to see a set-to; that Hackman was going to settle with Cunningham, and that this was in the presence of Hackman; but the offer was overruled and an exception noted. On cross-examination witness said that he had seen Mr. Hackman with a view to have the | partics make up and settle the case, but not to use money.

He said: “The other day I spoke to you in a gentlemanly manner and you struck me. I come now to brand you a d—d dirty coward.” Dr. Cy “re- plied by directing Hackman to get out, but Hackman did not comply and then he ordered him out again when ‘kman struck Cunningham and other blows passed, Then Cunningham drew the pistol and witness said to him, ‘Doctor, don’t do that you are for- getting yourself.” He then turned the pistol away from Hackman and fired, but it was not in Hackman's direction Hackman then got over the railing, Witness then marked the agree on the plat and the place where the all struck, stating that it was six feet to Hack- man’s left. After the shot noticed a bruise on Dr. Cunningham's face and forehead, and he (C.) did not follow Hackman but went to the basin to wash his face, Is certain that Hackman struck the first blow. DR. CUNNINGHAM'S STORY, The defendant, Dr. Cunningham, testified that he met Hackman March $ in the lobby; that he (H.) asked for Tatum’s check, and wit- ness told him to get an: order for it; that on March 6 he went to the it~ office, and while. at the telephone Hackman again asked for the check, and witness declined to give itto him without an order, Hackman then said that if he (C.) attended to his business, opplying an epithet “d—d lazy or vagabond,” and witness then slapped him when he jumped back, thrusting his hand in his’ pocket, but was seized by Mr. Grace.
