A DISAPPOINTMENT. Twenty-four Indictments, but None for Cronin Suspects. Curcaco, June 29,—The grand jurors and the state's attorney were happy this morning over the prospect of the conclusion of their work. But few witnesses were to be examined to-day, and it was given out officially that the return of the jury would be made some time during the day and that several indictments were probable. The first witness who went to the jury room was a man who gave his name as Walsh, but who refused to give his first name or why he was wanted. There wasa stir about the criminal court building about 10:30 o’clock when the mem- bers of the grand jury came out of their room and went into —— Shepard's court. A large crowd followed, thinking the jury would re- turn true bills against the Cronin suspects. But the spectators were doomed to disappoint- mert, for although there were twenty-four in- INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. Large Number of Delegates at the Con- vention in Paris.

C., June 29.—The McDow trial is approaching a close. The final argu- ment for the state was delivered this morning by Julian Mitchell. The court-house was crowded. Nearly every minister of the gospel in the city, including a bishop, and many lead- ing citizens were present. Mr. Mitchell closed his argument about 2 p.m. heving spoken for nearly five hours. The usual charge of the judge wiil follow, and the case will be given tothe jury. Itis not expected that a verdict will be reached before Monday, if then, The pane sat through the argument to-day caning on his hand and resting his elbow on the table. He has lost somewhat the bold look he preserved during the first three or four days of the trial, and does not look so chipper as he did when the Swiss maid was giving her testi- mony. ae AT JOHNSTOWN. The Greatest Need Now is Lumber and Carpenters. Jouxstows, Pa., June 29.—The citizens of Cambria city met last night and appointed a committee to adjust losses, The greatest need of the people at the present time is lumber and carpenters, There is work enough here for ten thousand laborers and three thousand carpenters. If the work is not done during the summer, when the snow falls there will be a number of people homeless and without shelter. Col. Douglass is cutting the force of work- men. ‘The number, as nearly as can be es' mated, has been reduced from 1,800 to 90, Jas. Jas. Mc.Knight, the contractor, will have only 200 laborers at work on Monday. oss The Valkyrie Beaten Again, Loxvox, June 29.—The Valkyrie, Irex,Yarana and Marjorie met again to-day in the Rothesay regatta, The Irex was the first over the line. In the reach to Mount Stuart the Valkyrie was dropped behind by all three of her competitors. In the run_ across to lLorgs, with spinnaker set, ho’ ever, the Valkyrie overhauled the others one by one and secured a clear lead from the Yarana, which had previously pressed the Irex. A steady west wind prevailed. 2h ae From Wall Street To-day. New York, June 29, 11a, m.—The stock mar- ket opened this morning with considerable ac- tivity, though this was principally due to the renewed speculation in National lead trust, of which 27,770 shares were traded in in the first 30 minutes, There was, however, a well distributed business in the stocks of the regular list, which showed considerable weakness, and first prices were generally from to 3 cent below last night's figures, while further concessions | of slight fractions were made in the early deal- ings. ‘The trusts, however, were decidedly strong, and lead, which opened up 4 st rose to 34, and sugar, wi opened up a@ like amount at 115%, ‘advanced to 1174. The regular list afterwar: followed and almost everything was brought up to something better than opening 28, with St. Paul teading. There was much less animation toward the end of the hour, but at 11 o'clock the market was fairly active and firm to strong at the best prices reached. Chicago’s Population. Cutcaco, June 29.—The publishers of the new directory elaim that it shows that the city has & population of over 900,000. To-day all the suburbs will vote on the question of annexa- tion to Chicago. If the proposition is carried this city will have a population of over one millior. There is great interest in the election anda tremendous vote will be polled.

The two of most local interest were the marshal of the District of Colombia and the chief of the bureau of Chicago, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. The latter appointment is made by the Secretary of the Treasury. CHIEF GRAVES’ SUCCESSOR, Both these appointments are personal to the President, the appointees being his friends, cae Captain Meredith is now a resident of ‘icago, he is a native of Indiana, was a soldier in General Harrison's regiment. Wo is & practical printer, and has been foreman of the Indianapolis Journal and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat com; y m2 a] been great Tenantiatiy’ fa favor of the selection. He was at first a candidate for public printer, but the President preferred him Yor this place. A SKETCH OF CAPT. MEREDITH. William M. Meredith was born in Centerville, Ind., on April 11, 1835. As soon as he had menoed to set type in his father’s office—that of the Wayne county Record, In 1860 he rey resented Indianapoli ‘typographical Union, No.1, at the interna- tional session at Nash- ville. When the war broke out Mr, Meredith enlisted in the Indian- in Gen. Lew Wallace's Lo, ora ae the eleventh Indiana, Shortly after- eom- tended ‘WM, M. MEREDITH, ward Gov. Morton appointed him stat missary-general, and as such he su the issuing of rations to all the Indi: tr oops during the first six morths of the war. In July, 1862, he was appointed sergeant-major of the eleventh infantry, but before he could report for — the governor commissioned him as second lieutenant, and gave him suthortty to recruit a company. In less than a week he @ company which was composed largely of printers, was commissioned first lieu nt, and when his command was mustered in as Company E, of the seventieth Inaiang volun- teers, he was elected captain and commis- sioned on the same day that Benjamin Harri- son received his commission as colonel of the regiment. Capt. Meredith served with his command until August, 1864, when he was hon- orably discharged on account of disability re- sulting from injuries received in the service. He afterward rendered valuable service as an officer of the sanitary commission. Since the war Capt. Meredith has worked in New York, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago. In June, 1875, he accepted the position of superintendent of the steel- late printing department of the Western Bank jote and Engraving company of Chicago. CONGRATULATING CAPT. MEREDITH. Capt. Meredith has been receiving congratu- latory dispatches all day from Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The first announce- ment he made of his appointment was in a dispatch to the Chicago Troes club, of which he isa popular member. To-day he got the fol- lowing dispatch, signed ‘The Press Club:” “The following boys were around the big table when your dispatch was received. Every one shouted, ‘Bully for the captain,’ and Opie Read tapped the bell three times in quick sue- cession. McGovern said it was the best news he had heard in a month, We all congratulate a Pastgale, Eggleston, Rig trea McGovern, ackard, Henderson, Wood, Ritchie, Lederer, Barron, Read, Nixon, Scott, Nicholas, bg ty Ay Frazer, Whitford, Fuller, Dressen. A visiting member said that if outsiders had a chance this list would fill a column.” THE DISTRICT MARSHALSHIP, The marshalship is the only District office it is not thought should of right go to a District man. It is of aclose confidential character to the President and it is considered appropriate that he should desire to put a friend in the place, It is the most important marshalship in the country, having a national character from the association with the executive. To be selected for this office has always been regarded asa@ high honor. A social distinction attaches to it on account of the supervision the marshall usually has over the social affairs of the admin- istration. Mr, Hayes and Mr. Cleveland re- lieved their marshals of these social duties, but in both cases men of the District were selected rather than personal friends of the President. In those two cases the office was treated asa local one. spoken of for this Mr. Ransdell has been place from the first on accountof his fitness for it and his personal relations with the President. He isa one-armed soldier anda man of fine eatin and good address. He is two or three years under fifty and is a man of family. His eldest daughter is just about ready to enter society. He is a resident of Indianapolis, where he isat the head of the safety department of Fletcher's bank. He is very little known in Washington, but is most highly spoken of by Indiana people. A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED APPOINTMENT, It was only after much hesitation and long deliberation that the President decided to ap- point any but a District man to the marshal- ship. No other than Mr, Ransdell conld have taken the commission outside the District, The ersonal relations of Mr. Ransdell with the resident and his relations to affairs in Indi- ana made it very desirable that he should oc- cupy this position, The only trouble to the President’s mind was that Ransdell was not a citizen of the District. He did not like to go outside to fill even the marshalship. At one time he actually @ecided that —_ should go to a District man, and he thought of Mr. Ransdell for another ap- ointment But it was found to be impossible to arrange matters better than by the sppointment made yesterday afternoon, All those who know Mr. ell speak of him in the highest terms, and vouch for it that he and his family will soon be very popular in Washington. They speak of him as a man of culture and fine personal qualities, and of his wife as a charming lady. Representative Browne, Mr. Halford, and Capt. Meredith, who, besides the President, are his person: friends here, speak in the highest terms of him, AT THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE. The announcement of the appointment of Col. Ransdell as the marshal for the District of Columbia was not entirely unexpected at the marshal’s office, The incumbent, Mr, A, A, Wilson, states that he is not acquainted with his successor. He feels, he says, that a heavy: weight of responsibility is about to be lifted from his shoulders, and he will g) surren- der it, As to his administration of the affairs Mr. Wilson says he feels thankful to his subor- dinates that he will leave 1t in so good a condi reporter to-day. of $0 tsuch fospenslbiity that re © y. of so much res; iy if tos tnomabens attends to its su; sonally one term will be about enough. ‘. Wilson said that he hoped he would be relieved by the Ist, at the close of the fiscal year, MINISTER TO HAYTI, ‘The next important appointment {s one in which the District is interested because the appointee isa resident of the District, Mr. Frederick Douglass, of the District of Colum- bia, is appointed minister resident and consul- . ponmsf Hayti. Mr. Douglass is the colore: in the fs position wo remarkable. naturel yi Hed DE. AGNEW’S OPINION. No Possibility of Morris Adler’s Recov- ery, but He May Linger Some Time. tient I agree with the course of treatment that has been ad I think the bali has done all the mischief it can do, and its extraction is a matter of no im- e. Adier’s case is not @ miracle can man on his feet. Ido not fee! Be th on no! as { could foretell the number of ery linger on for some time.” apa GRATIFIED WITH DR, AGNEW'S APPROVAL, The result of the consultation with Dr. Ag- new was simply to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the case by the attending physi- cians, One of these said to a Star reporter to- day: “While feeling entirely confident that the course which had been ted was @ proper one, we feel highly gratif that our treatment met with the entire approval of so eminent an authority as Dr. Agnew.” NO NEW FEATURES IN THE CASE TO-DAY. Te changes which have taken place in Morris Adler's condition since yesterday even- ing were not material, and the case is without new features. Dre, Bayne, McBlair and Wagner were in consultation this morning. Dr. J. Ford Thompson was not present; he only calls three times a week. e examination and con- sultation revealed nothing of especial interest, Adler's temperature was 101 8-10, a trifle lower than it was yesterday morning. His respiration was 36” and a trifle castor than it bas been for three or four days. The pulse has been high and weak, running generally at about 100. The wound still sup- purates freely, and there are no symptoms of any immediate danger from — Adler's Pp tite keeps up remarkably well, and ough his diet would be light for a healthy man, stili there is more of it than any one would suppose Adler capable of getting away with while in his present condition. Hope has never deserted the poor paralytic and is as strong in his senseless breast to-day as it ever was, The wounded man’s confidence in his ul- timate recovery is wonderful. —— aon WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tae Curnoxee Commisstox.—Ex-Gov. Fair- child, who has been appointed on the Cherokee commission, and Mr. A. M. Wilson are in the city and had a conference with the Secretary of the “Interior to-day.

Some of the fusn: ones, who may be among the ones surpri went around distributing gratuitous informa- tion as to the it routes over which to leave the city. Among those who are su d to know it is generally believed that the number of dismissals will not be appallingly large, although so far those immediately interested ‘are concerned it will probably be large enough.

His Remarks on the Race Question— What Messrs. Lynch and Bruce Say. Washington dispatches to several papers, dated Jude 24, quoted the President as having spoken as follows in a recent conversation with ® southern delegation: “Perhaps I comprehend this race question better than you gentiemen think and sympa- thize with your feelings in regard to the col- ored people more than you know. Certainly in your place I would feel as you do. Personal contact with an alien race in social, political and professional life would not be agree- able to me. I would not like to see a negro mayor er postmaster of Indianapolis, nor representing the power and authority of the United rod in eel or administrative capacity at myown home. It would not be agreeable to me to practice my profession be- fore a colored federal judge, or to meet a negro at the federal baras United States at- torney. Ido not intend to impose upon the people of the south conditions which I think rather hard if they were im d upon me.” Ex-Senator Bruce and Auditor Lyzch called atthe Associated Press office and requested | that as wide a circulation as possible be given to the following statement made by them in regulation to the above: they feel fully authorized to say that the re- rt of such a conversation is erroneous. They oe had occasion to call on the President sev- eral times and on each occasion he freely ex- pressed himself on — pertaining to the colored race, and y do not hes- itate to say that his views upon | that subject are fair and just and will commend him to the approbation of the colored people throughout the country. The last time they called on him was on Wer iy when they presented the address recently adopted by conference of colored men held at Jackson, Miss, on Juhe 13. That address, among other things, declares: “That Mr. Harrison is President, not of one section but of the whole country; not of one race, but of all races of which our citizenship is composed. His ambition is to destroy rather than promote race prejudice and sectional animosity.” The President as- sured the delegation that his own position upon that subject could not have been more accurately and correctly stated. Colored men, he declared, should not ask to be ap- Pointed to office simply on account of their color, nor should their color be a ground of ob- jection. In view of all these facts it isthe cpinion of Messrs. Lynch and Bruce at if the colored people will only be tient and confide in the President ey will not be disappointed in their just and reasonable expectations. Besides, the appoint- ments already made by the President ought, they believe, to satisfy everybody that be en- tertains no sudh sentiments as those he is al- leged to have expressed in the above dispatch. ‘They assert positively that he entertains no such sentiments, a ES A Freight Train Obstructing a Street.
