The Bell of the Cruiser Charleston. The Secretary of the Navy has written a letter to Representative Morrow, of California, thanking him for the information regarding the metal in the bell of the new cruiser Charleston. Mr. Morrow in his letter informed the Secretary that a few days before the cast- ing of the bell the pattern maker at the works suggested that it would be a pity to use ordi- nary metal and suggested that each of the workmen on the steamer contribute ten cents | in silver to enrich the composition and give a superior ring to it. The entire force, more than a thousand. responded to a man. The sum realized amounted to about $159. nearly all of itin ten-cent pieces. It was placed in the crucible and mixed with the other metal used in making the bell. In concluding his letter the Secretary says: “‘There have been many costly presents made to ships of the navy by towns and persons, but there is not oné that the department values and Sronee more highly than this offering from the work- men of the Charleston.” For the Relief of Fiood Sufferers.

Prof. Seeley Explains How its Views are to be Spread. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Evextxo Star. Lonpox, June 20.—Prof. Seeley last night presided at the annual meeting of the Ethical society. He said their object was to spread as widely ag possible the views already known to the few. They must not use the academic method or dialectical wit. The busy idle pub- lic was never worse employed than in discus- sing philosophic subjects in the newspapers. It remembered only the personalities and what was dramatic, and its final conclusion was @ mere practical joke. W. D. Howells writes to the Freeman's Jour- nal, “Perhaps because I am of a notoriously inadequate imagination, I cannot imagine any American whom the official outrages, or Irish political prisoners do not fill with indignation whenever he thinks of them. To abhor such atrocities seems to me as simple, and as normal as to breathe.” A LEPER IN A MEAT MARKET.

What will be the Result of Balfour’s Attack. as natural Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EVENING STAR. Lonpox, June 20.—The discussion of home rule is taking a practical form. Balfour has denounced the application of the federal prin- ciple to the British empire, and said it would throw the British constitution into a crucible in which the house of lords would disappear. Balfour's attack will compel the liberal lead- ers to pronounce for federalism, which they are very reluctant to do. Morley, for instance, responsibilities of getting rid of Ireland. Now that home rule means imperial federation, | sides. Federation has difficulties and dangers, but it is the only road whereby disintegration can be avoided. The house of commons last night accepted | the bill punishing parents who send boys nader fourteen and girls under sixteen to bey in the streets under the pretense of selling thir singing, é&c., or who send them to sell between 10 at night and 5 in the morning in summer, and 8 at night an the morning in winter. ii A STRIKE AT JOHNSTOWN.

HASTINGS STATES that the state has nothing whatever to do with furnishing food to the laborers. He deplores the unfortunate state of affairs, but declines to express an opinion as to the probable outcome. ‘The general has the confidence of the men, and the leaders of the strike have assured him that there will be no outbreak.

Will the Prohibition Amendment be Annulled? Provipence, R. L, June 20.—Rhode Island is voting on article 8 of the amendments to the constitution, which annuls article 5 of the amendments—the prohibitory article. The brightness of the day and the vigorous hand-bill and newspaper advertising campaign that has been waged during the it two weeks prom- 1ses a huge vote. Irhres -yeece ago last ey when the rohibitory amendment was adopted, 24,343 votes were cast, 15,113 being ie karen This vote, which represented the voting population at that period, will probably be'increased by 15,000 or 20,000 to-day.

IF THE EVIDENCE WHICH CHIEF HUBBARD HAS 18 CORRECT, HE WAS THE MAN TO WHOM THE JOB OF ACTUALLY COEMITTING THE CRIME WAS INTRUSTED. Wrxxrrea, Max., June 20.—How Burke came to be arrested is a mystery. Chief of Police McRae is uncommunicative on the subject. A number of stories have been published, some of them giving the credit for the arrest of Burke to the Chicago police and some to the police of Winnipeg. Chief McRae refuses either to deny or affirm any rumors. The chief, however, finally did say that the first he | heard from Chicago was after he had wired a description of Burke to Chief Hubbard. Burke Not Known in Hancock. Hovenrox, Micn., June 20.—The town of Hancock is not a little excited over the report | that another of the men concerned in the Cronin murder came from there.

Coremnvs, Onto, June 20.—The events of the Past few days have been such as toclearly fore shadow the nomination of Joseph Benson Fore aker as the gubernatorial candidate of the republican party for the fourth time. It is but just to state, in this connection, that Governor Foraker does not seck the office. On the contrary, he would much prefer to retire from public life to re sume the work of his profession. There bas been a growing opposition to the nomination of & member of Congress for the gubernatorial | office at the present time when the two partic are so evenly divided. The more far sighted republicans regard the reducing of that ma- jority by even one at any time before next January as DANGFROTS TO PARTY sUCCras in the lower house.

Detectives last night arrested a grocery clerk named Kuhn, who is familiarly known as “Coonsey,” to make him explain his close in- timacy with Dan Coughlin during the months of March and April. He was the ex-detective's | constant companion and accompanied him to Peoria, where Coughlin made threats against Dr. Cronin, Chiet Hubbard said last night that he did not think Kuhn was a participant in the murder, but he thought that, owing to his intimate association with Coughlin for such a long period of time, he might be able to tell more about the ex-detective than anybody knows now, MUCH IMPORTANCE IS ATTACHED BY THE POLICE who should arrive at Winnipeg at noon to-day, If Burke proves to be the wrong man it is doubtful if the murderers of Dr. Cronin will ever be taken. All that Chief Hubbard wants is the identification. He is so positive that the right Martin Burke is one of the murderers that his confidence gives rise to the suspicion that he has overwhelming proof of the fellow's guilt and that he has not al- lowed himself or his subordinates to give to the public half the infor sion. we want,” said the chief, “then he is one of the murderers.” BURKE REVEALED THE PLOT. A story was gleaned at police headquarters this morning which indicates that Chief Hub- bard is quite safe in his bold assertion, The | story is to the effect that the man has been | | found who declares that Burke revealed part of | the plot to him in endeavoring to induce him jto become a party to it. Burke was a | most unfortunate selection on the part | of the plotters, as he used every cent he could | get to procure liquor. He, knowing a great |} many “tough” people, was commissioned to | tind a man who would take a certain share in | the murder. Burke was cautioned, as he valued |his life, not to reveal any of the | plot to the fellow, but simply hire | to do a certain amount | of the work, which would be of such a charac- | ter that he would not know that a crime was to be committed. Burke, being already in the plot and knowing the grip he had on his fellow-con- | spirators, demanded money. Of course he got’ it, and then he loaded up | with liquor and went after _ his | man, andin his maudlin condition told all | about the scheme to take Dr. Cronin’s life. The plot, as Burke gave it to the man who has | given it to the police, was totally different to | that which was carried out. | THE EN’ | | PRESIDENT’S COLLEGE.

The Marriage of Miss Emma Jenks te Congressman Shively. Brooxvitte, Pa, June 20,—T! home of George A. Jenks, ex-solicitor-general, was the scene of gaicty last evening. The large house was beautifully decorated with potted plants brought from Pittsburg, while wreaths of ev- ergreen and cut flowers were hung in festoons around the walls. All was brilliantly illumi ated, yet the light that fell from between the profusion of foliage and draperies was softly tinted and there were no glaring effects. It was the occasion of the marriage of Miss Emma Jenks to Congressman B. F. Shively, of South Bend, Ind. The ceremony took place at 8 o'clock, Rev. J. 8.
