Arrest of Bank President Ken- nedy of Rhiladelphia. POLITICS OF OHIO FARMERS. PORTER SEES RUDINI. ‘The New Orleans Question Has Assumed a New Phase. Roux, May 2%8.—The Fanfulla says: “The wtatement that the pope was trying to mediate in the New Orleans dispute is discredited, be- cause it would imply papal recognition of the Italian monarchy. ‘The Marquis di Rudini has had an important interview with Mr. Porter, the United Btates minister, and the New Orleans question has assumed a new phase.” waite com TWO BANKERS ARRESTED. President Kennedy and His Brother of Phil- adelphia in Custody. Puuapsrruta, May 28.—Francis W. Kennedy, president of the suspended Spring Garden National Bank, was arrested this morning on a watrant sworn out by Bank Examiner Drew, charging him with making false entries in the books, false returns to the controller of the currency and the embezzlement of $100,000 and upward of the bank’s funds. Henry H. Kennedy, cashier of the bank, and a brother of the president, was also arrested, charged with conspiracy with Francis W. Ken- nedy to make false entries, false returns and with making both. When the two accused men heard that the warrants were out for their arrest they at once went before United States Commissioner Bell and gave themselves into custody. Counsel for the Ken- nedys stated that they were willing to waive a hearing and enter bonds for their appearance at court. Commissioner Bell declined to allow them to waive a hearing, and fixed the bail of Francis Kennedy at €20,000 and. that of Henry Kennedy at $15,000 for a hearing on Monday next. e Kennedys are already under $10,000 bail each to answer the charge of receiving money from depositors when they knew the bank was insolvent. a POE ‘THE OHIO FARMERS, They Will Be Felt in Politics, Though They ‘Will Not Put Up a State Ticket. Special Dispatch to Taz Evenixe Star. Conuasvs, Onto, May 28—The defeat of the third party project by the Ohio Farmers’ Union late last night was altogether unexpected and can be only attributed to the active work of Col. J. H. Brigham, national master of the grange, and other leaders of the opposition. The vote on the resolution calling for an independent convention to nominate a state ticket stood sixty-four nays to sixty-three yens, and perhaps no one was more surprised at this result than the leaders of the movement against independent action. This decision of the farmers union to seck the accomplishment their reforms through the old parties by no means takes the Ohio farmer out of politics. The union dealt with the question only as it applied to the state at large. It isstill proba bie that many of the counties, ‘and perhaps somesenatorial districts, may nominate farmers’ tickets. Even when farmers indorse old party candidates it will in many instances be upon a pledge from the candidate to pursue a course agreeable to the farmers. ere will be determined effort among the agricultural classes to defeat the re-election of Senator Sherman and to that end no effort will be spared to capture the balance of power in the legislature. pane BEES MUTTERINGS OF DISCONTENT. Failure to Punish Jury Fixers Causes Dis- satisfaction in New Orleans. New Onreaxs, May 28.—There are many mutterings of discontent at the developments in the bribery cases. The apparent spiriting away of one of the principal witnesses and the assertion that the law cannot punish bribers of tales jurors have made a bad impression on the public mind and may lead to serious trouble. ‘The newspapers are loud im their warnings that the temper of the people will not longer rmit the delay in the purification of ‘the fountains of justice. The New Delta sys: “New Orleans is not ina mood tobe trifled with. We would greatly deplore a re-enactment of the scenes of March 14, but on that day the people were destroying not individuals, but a system, and they are determined that mye ney in all its*off-shoots and ramifications shall be de- stroyed by legal and judicial methods if possi- ble, but destroyed.” fgg ae STOCKS UNUSUALLY DULL. Prices Inclined to Droop—Activity in Only a Few Shares. New York, May 28—The dullness in the stock market was again its principal feature, and many of the leading shares did not score a single sale during the hour. The drooping tendency of yesterday was again apparent in the opening prices, which were easeelly from } to }¢ per cent below those of fi evening, but there was marked strength displayed in a few shares during the hour, Pacific Mail being most conspicuous, with a rise of 1 per cent to 3734. The declines were generally insignificant, ville and Nash- ville leading, with a loss of only 3¢ per cent. There was a spurt of activity late in the hour, however, which was accompanied by a more general improvement in the list, but no material gain occurred and the market at 11 o'clock was quiet and firm, with most of the list at something better than the 0} prices, St. Paul and fogs shor activity and strength in the late trading.

McKINLEY’S ELECTION. ive Cooper Thinks a Third Party im Ohio Will Give Itjan Element of Doubt. Representative Cooper of Ohio, who is at the % | in the DECORATION DAY. Disapproving of | Arrangements for the Various Cemeteries Where Soidiers are Buried. There has been nothing as yet to disturb or obstruct the preparations for « proper celebra- tion of Memorial day. Popular interest in the cecasion has not suffered any diminution nor i there less of that practical financial support, which is so necessary, then has marked the past. Last year the cash cor tributions of sympathizers amounted to a highly satisfactory total and there is promise just now of a still greater sum. On the other hand the expens>s will be jess than they were @ year charitable purposes. All money unexpended in the decoration of soldiers’ graves is judi- ciously distributed among the needy widows and orphans of those who gave their lives for the principles represented by the stars and stripes. AN APPEAL FOR FLOWERS. Up to the present time there has been « trifle of slackness in promises as to flowers. It | is customary for those who have many flowers and few graves to contribute the choic- est or and to have the distribu- tion attended to by the Grand Army. lomorrow the decoration committee will take mn | of Willard Hall and there most of members will remain for the purpose of receiving, — preserv- | ing and ‘kis ch blossom: be do- then | ing and packing su as MAY children will do | much in the way of flower gathering. Those | who desire to aid in the work may forward | flowers—and they cannot send too many—to Willard Hall not later than 80'clock on Saturday the hard-working ladies on the com- I do the ret. No CONFUSION AT ARLINGTON. Those who have in years past suffered from the crowd of noisy wagon runners who have blocked the Fort Myer entrance to Ar- lington with their vehicles and wrecks of horseftesh will be relieved to know that nowach confusion can prevail on Saturday. Col. Henry will bave a detail of cavalry on duty in that vicinity and there will be absolute order.
