Loxpox, April 27.—The Pall Mall Gazette today contains a most sensational article headed “Rumors of an Attempt to Shoot Gla | stone,” the type used in the heading being the largest in use for that purpose.

Dr. Miquel was present’ and Herr Aschen- born, director of the imperial treasury, was likewise in attendance. ‘The committce dis- cussed the so-called documents presented by Ablwardt in support of hir charges. Ahiwardt stated that head submitted all the evidence in his possession. excepting that which he had withdrawn. The documents laid before the committee appeared to be only pamphlets and extracts from the Kisenbahn Zeitung, in- cluding a letter signed by the president of the Roumanian senate. ‘The committee, after some discussion about the documents, adjourned. sae a THY SING SING FUGITIVES.

Garsesvitue, Tex., April 27.—A death-deal- ing cyclone swept down in Montague county, thirty miles west of here, Tuesday night. The storm struck two miles east of Bonita, « emall railroad town, and utterly destroved every- thing in its path, demolishing houses, twisting down trees aud snapping off telegraph poles. The house of a farmer afew miles from Eouita was strewn for a mile around and the man killed outright. Three of his children were blown into s well and all of them, it is thought, will die. St. Jo, a town eight miles from Bonita, also suffered, but no loss of life is reported. geet IN MEMORY OF GRANT. Gov. McKinley of Ohio Delivers an Oration at Galena. Garena, Int., April 27.—The peopie of this town, assisted by delegations from the adjoin- ing country and representatives from distant tates, celebrated today the birthday of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. It was early this morning when the people from the country began to arrive. Some came on excursion trains. The bulk of the crowd, however, was made up of farmers, who came in wagons, im buggies and on horseback. | Many ‘of them were veterans, belonging to the Jo Daviss Soldiers’ Monument Asso- ciation, of which Gen. Grant was the president from the date of its organization until his death. The town was lavishly decorated, and the music of a dozen brass bands and drum corps made the air resound with martial and patriotic air This forenoon was devoted to hunting up comrades among the Grand Army posts pre: ent, and it was not until 2 o'clock that the procession formed. Before this, however, a special train bearing Gor. McKinley of Ohio, the orator of the dav, and guests from Chicago. who came at the invi- tation of Mr. H. H. Kobisaat, Ilinois Central. It was about 1:30 o'clock when this train reached the depot, and carringes were in waiting to convey the forty persons in the party to the place where the parade formed. The proces- sion marched to Grant Park, where the ranks opened snd the guests of honor were driven through to the grand stand. ‘The program was as follows: Music, prayer PRICE ONE DOLLAR A BOTTRE.

After the escort had retired from the train the schoo! children were marshuled and marched around the car on which the bell rested. ‘The general public in great numbers viewed the bell later. ‘The distinguithed visitors were escorted through the city to the Hollenden by the Cleveland Grays, the fifth regiment and the light artillery. Luncheon was served at the Hollenden and appropriate addresses were made by visitors and guests. The bell will leave the city at 4 o'clock this afternoon. —< WHY IT WAS POSTPONED. Secretary Herbert's Bad Cold Caused the Review to Be Put Of. New York, April 27,—It is now said that the postponement of the naval review until this afternoon was on accoint of the fact that Sec- retary Herbert bad a bad cold and thet physician bad advised him to avoid the rain if possibie. ‘Most of tee official guests of the nation, state and city did not learn of the postponement un- til too late to prevent their embarking on the five steamers,’the Gen. Meigs, the Blake, the Wm. C. Egerton. the Monmouth and the Gen. Slocum, set apart for their use. During the early morning two black lines of cabsand covered carrriages‘iowed up auddown, ‘one to the piers, the otaer back up town,and cut. | ting at the river front through a dense equally black line of umbrellac. The steam- ers were asnnouzced to sail at 9:30 o'clock in order to get everybody down in good season. At 9 the carriages began to roil down, and from that hour ull 10:30 they moved up and down like industrious ante, ‘The arrivals who were of the congressional party were astigned to the Monmouth. Thecity officials went aboard the Egerton. The Blake s reserved for the diplomatic corps and the n. Meigs for the Ouke of Veragua and his family and staff, the Slocum taking the gov- ernor and sate officials, legislators, &c. On the Blake and Meigs United States naval officers received the visitors, and will be their escort until after the review. Up to 10:15 zo one seemed to be aware of the postponement of the commencement of the re- view. After 9:30 o'clock the drivers came down the “street ‘under evident pressure. The guests whs sprang out paused for no apologies or expiafiation. Neither did they seem to expect, nor did the officers in waiting offer, any formality of reception. An umbrella was hoisted, the visitor dashed down the gangpiank and was soon lost in the cabin. On the Egerton the mayor arrived at 10 o'clock and ina few minutes the party within and aboard settled down for a long wait. An orchéstra bad been provided and began to per- form ite functions, when it was broken off by the arrival of large white packages. These, the policemen who checked and inspected them said, were lunch. ‘The Duke of Veragua and his party arrived soon after 10 o'clock. . They proceed at once fo the covered stairs of the General Meigs and stood Jooking out st the beautifully fleet. From their position only the head of the column could be seen, the blue mist concealing the vessels further up the riv 30 o'clock the Philadelphia delegation | £ NEW YORK WAS CROWDED ‘The Hotels Had to Turn Away Hundreds of Persons. ‘Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Star. New Youx, April 27.—It was altogether too bad that New York should have been visited with such bad weather on the day of the great naval review. Yesterday, when thé ships proceeded from the lower bay up to their anchorage in the North river, was such a perfect day for an out-door celebra- tion that even the least sanguine were led to hope that it might continne. It might not be, however, for during the early hours of the night, the wind shifted to the east and this morning the rain was falling ina steady down jour with no promise of a Jet up, although the Forenoon the clouds hung low end it was for all the world like a November day. ‘The resuit was that only a small proportion of those who would have seen the great review dared venture to brave the discomforts of a rainy day in New York. All night long the great men-of-war lay quietly at rest in the North river. On board the different ships there was much to do in the way of preparation for the great review, for, although men-of-war are always the very pink of perfection and neatnese, yet the celebration today was such a unique and important one that every effort was made to bave the ships absolutely spotless, During the watches of the night the lights which are used for signalling from ship to ship after dark were kept twinkling merrily, transmitting orders from the flagships to their ~—rquadrons. ~The alignment of the two columns was perfected, and the thousand and one !ast finishing touches were put on so that there could be no chance of unfavorable criticism when the reviewing ships should pass up between the two. LAST NIGHT'S FESTIVITIES. Ist night the Union League Club tendered a magnificent reception to the visiting officers on the fleet. The handsome club house was decorated superbly, and on the outside was fairly hung wi lights, so that it was noticeable for miles up and down Sth avenue, Numerous handsome receptions and other entertainments have been arranged in honor of the city’s guests, and if the occ prove to be a memorable one in their lives it Will not be altogether the fault of the suthori- ties and citizens of New York. THE DECORATIONS. Curiously enough the city does not present a particularly gay and festive appearance for the review. The inclement weather today ia largely respousibie for this state of affairs, but, even aside from this, there has been no general attempt at decorating the buildings throughout the city. It is a legal holiday and there is s cessation of business generally, but, beyond the tact that the flect and the review furnish almost the sole topics for conversation, one would hardly suspect that anything out of the ordinary was going on. ‘The paucity of the decorations has been freely commented on by New Yorkers as well as outsiders as evincing a dearth of public interest, and it must be admitted that they manage affairs of this sort rather better at the nation’s capital. The city is full of strangers who have come in from all the surrounding country for the review and all the hotels are crowded to overflowing. This com- paratively «mall increase in the number of strangers usually in the city at thie time of the Year has been more than sufficient to tax the city’s powers of expansion and dur- ing the past forty-eight bours almost every hotel in the city has had to turn away hundreds. As a result of the disagreeable weather it was found necestary to postpone the display until this afternoon, VE a GOUDY DROPS DEAD.

He Does Not Recognize Gen. Colby’s Call for Papers. ‘MR. PEARY SUBMITS ANOTHER LETTER IN RE- @ARD TO THR EXAMINATION—ALSO SOME LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS 48 TO Davis’ TRANSFER—TESTIMONT AS TO EXPERT COM- PILERS. ‘The weather bureau investigation started off earlier this afternoon than usual, and at a fe minutes after 2 o'clock Gen. Colby was in his seat. and Mr. Perry had handed in a letter, which he said he would not try to read. The letter, however, was as follows: Crry or Wasutxortox. D. C., April 27, 1898, To Mr. Assistant Attorney General Colby. Sir: In this case the witness James B. Mc- Laughlin appears also in the character of an Assistant prosecutor. He began his tes- timony in chief on Satorday, April 22, in the absence of Prof. Harrington. Monda: April 24, he placed on the stand Gen. Colby to resume his testimony, but was, against my objection, allowed to stand aside and other witnesses were examined. This ex- amination, including the cross-examin- ation of other witnesses, was con- tinued on the 25th and 26th instants, also against my objection, the witness Mc- Laughlin taking part in these examinations. On the 26th instant McLaughlin was present daring the whole of the cross-examination of Henry L. Heiskell, which cross-examination necetearily covered a part of the field of Me- Laughiin’s own future cross-examinatio: Whatever the purpose be in thus withhold- ing McLaughlin, the effect is to educate him for further examination and cross-examination. Such line of prosecution would not be tol- erated in any court of justice. Here I can only protest against it, and this T now do for the fourth time. Respectfully, R. Ross Perry, Attorney for Prof. Harrington, DOES NOT RECOGNIZE GEN. COLBY'S CALLS. Mr. Perry then furtker said that Prof. | Harrington bad received the calls from Gen. Colby, printed in yesterday's Stan, for Papers, arid he most respectfully says that he could not Irecognize such a call, If the Secretary or acting secretary made a call for papers they would be promptly furnished. Mr. Perry then put in evidence several let- ters und telegrams from Davis, which show thet Mr. Davis was transferred from Norfolk to Wilmington, from Wilming- ton to Yankton and retained at Yankton at his own request. and this de- molished, said Mr. Perry, the plea that Davis was transferred from Norfolk as a punishment for his treatment of Nichols. AS TO THE EXPERT COMPILERS. Alfred J. Henry was then called to the stand. Mr. Henry testified to being clerk in the record division of the weather bureau. Mr. Henry had some knowi- edge of the expert compilers when » they first entered the office. and before they were put under Lieut, Purssell. Mra. Plummer had said at once that she could not do the work. Mr. Madden he bad consid- ered slow and under the average as a clerk. Witness thought these persons could not be called “expert compilers.” In answer tos qnestion from Mr. Meaughiin the witness taid that there were clerks in the records office drawing less salary than these newly appointed expert compilers who were better qualified to do the work. A. B. CRANE'S TESTIMONY. A. B. Crane, the observer from Norfolk, was then recalled to the stand and questioned by Mr. Perry as to what he had said to Mr. Heiskell during his conversation in March. Mr. Crane denied emphatically that he had said that Nichols was a “habitual drunkard.” He had said that Nichols was incompetent and worthless and that he thought his nerves hed been shattered by the Keeley cure. Mr. Perry then questioned Mr. Crane as to his conversation with Mr. Heiskell after seeing Mr. Rockwood. Mr. Crane testified that Mr. Rockwood, after the Nichols_case had been Inid before ‘him, bad eaid. want is another assistant.” — Wi not prepared to had meant that Norfolk. Mr. Crane denied that he had said Mr. Rockwood bad remarked, “But Nichols must be kept at Norfolk.” He had said after- ward: “It appears to me that Mr. Rockwood wishes to keep Mr. Nichols at Norfolk.” MR. M'LAUGHLIN CROSS-EXAMINED, Thisended Mr. Crane's testimony, and Mr. McLaughlin then went on the stand, and Mr. Perry started in on a rigid cross-examination THE GOLD SITUATION. It te Apparently Becoming Easier and the Flurry Mas Sabsided. The gold mtuation spparently grows easier each dey and the flurry of the past week has entirely subsided. The New York bankers called for a definite statement from the admin- istration on the ground that it would settle the stmosphere, and the statement of Presi- dent Cleveiand seems to bave had that effect Interest in the financial world has now been diverted to New York by the presence there of the President and Secretary Carlisle and on account of the very important part that the financiers of that city are now playing. NO CONFERENCE ARRANGED. Conflicting statements reach this city from New York as to whether Mr. Carlisle will have conference. It was officially stated to a Stan reporter at the Treasury Department that the Secretary had not arranged for a conference. and the latter is quoted this morning as saying, in reply to the question, “Will you meet the bankers for a conference before you return? “I expect to meet many persons while here,” Mr. Catlisle replied, “and T suppose, naturally, that bankérs will be among them. There is no definite arrangement.” “Has not a conference been proposed for to- morrow after the review?” “There is » chance of some talk then about the situation,” said the Secretary, “but the probabilities have not ret advanced beyond the stage of chance.” ‘THE BANKERS’ POSITION ORITICIZED. The position which the New York bankers have occupied is being severely criticized not only by treasury officials, but in financial cir- cles throughout the country. The evident de- sire of the south and west to assist the treas- ury with what means are within! their power is contrasted with the Position of New York, which can immediately relieve the government, but refuses to do #0 un- Jess on its own terms, advantageous to its own socket books. The outcome of the visit of Mr. to New York is awaited with consider. able interest. At the Treasury Department today every. thing was unusually quiet. The gold questio has lost the concern which it has occasioned. Small offers of gold continue to be made and are accepted. Acting Secretary Hamlin said today that the situation was very satisfactory. cetemsnaeare tie is PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. What Col. Wilson Says About Them in His Last Monthly Report. Col. J. M.

Dr. Hill of Ebenezer A. M. E.Chureh, in conversation with a Stak reporter today,vented some pertinent ideas on popular literature. He stated that his race read twice as many works of fiction as of biography, belles-lettres, science, history, traygls and religion combined. People could not be forced to read books they did not want. People would rather have their curiosity piqued and their fancy appealed to than be put to sleep with drowsy literature. The great novels of the great novelist were educators. It was the golden eye, blue Lair romance and he whoopia gunpowder story which did harm, ‘They were populated with’ unreal beings and fuli of imposeible situations. Their tendency was misleading. He believed that the salva- tion of mankind would be largely brought about by the newspaper and the magazine. In these facts were often dressed in picturesque garb. Thus the manses would. be educated on- The colored folks were taking to this style of literature. ‘The number of papers for colored people bad increased remarkably in the past five years and the list of subscribers to magazines had also grown wonderfully. ALL SOLD TRE SAME MEDICINE. Three fakirs met yesterday at the corner of Mand 92d streets. After a consultation they began a house-to-house canvass along the last named street. They operated singly and fol- lowed each other, at intervals of ten minutes. Fakir No. 1 sold ‘an article warranted to cure corns, warts and bunions. No 2 vouchsafed a cure for coughs, colds and burns. No 3 guar- anteed to heal weak oyes, headache and dys- Pepsia, A good number of wales were made. At the head of High street another consultation Ra held. ‘They had been selling the same med- icine. IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED. Dr. Soper thinks that Georgetown is not in ‘the beat sanitary condition.

WHAT SEWERS SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED FIRST. From time to time the health officer bas Fecommended the construction of sewers as necessary to the public health. Recently Capt. Rossel directed Dr. Hammett to indi- eate in the order of their importance the sewers which he deemed absolutely necessary for the public health. This report wes re- cently submitted, although since that time numerous other recommendations have been received for the construction of sewers. In am yletier, to the health | officer to- wy Capt requesta that in makin, future recommendations the health officer int dicate the position he thinks the sewer should take on the list, so that his office can apportion to the best interests of all sections the amount of money available for this purpose. AGENTS ARE LIABLE. The assistant attorney for the District, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, has rendered an opinion as to THE OLMSTEAP WILL CASE. ‘Testimony in the Contest Given Before the Jary Today. WITNESSES WHO SAY THAT WR AND MRS. OLM- STEAD WERE 4 RAPPY AND AFFECTIONATE COUPLE—MR. MATTINGLY TRLLS THE cIRCUM- STANCES OF DRAWING THE WILL. After Tre Sran’s report of the Olmstead will ease closed yesterday Mr. H. E. Davis briefiy opened the case for the caveatee, Mr. Jobn F. Olmstead, statng that he expected to show that the married life of Mr. and Mra. Olmstead | had been a most bappy one; that Mr. Olmstead had no part in the making of his wife's will; that she made it when she was of sound and disposing mind, and that be had often made known her intention to make the will she did | make. ‘The first witness called by Mr. Davis was Miss | Mary K. Ellis, who testified that she had long | known Mr. Gimstead and bis first wife, and | also his second wife. The witness was not per- | mitted to testify as to the relations existing tween Mr. Olmstead and his first wife. be- | She | jsaid che bad visited Mr. Olmstead and his | second wife half a dozen times at their home | in the Portland Flats. Theit relations seemed most pleasant and affectionate. MR, MATTINGLY A WITNESS. ‘Mr. Davis then called Mr. William FP, Mat- tingly, who had been the attorney of Jobn F. Olmstead and had represented Hayward M. Hutchinson im one or two suite, Mr. Matting! said that he had been called to the office of Gen. Jeffries, the attorney for Mr. Hutchinson, in Tegard to the latter's will, as Gen. Jeffries was not familiar with the form of attestation. At 6 o'clock of the evening Mr. Hutchinson made his will Mr. Mattingly went to the house, where he found Dr. Sowers and Mr. James. He bad @rawn up a will which Mr. Hutchinson read, or he read to bim. Mr. Davis’ examination of Mr. Mattingly as | tothe conversation between himself and Mr. Hutchinson was objected to on the ground that | this was a confidential communication. The | caveator produced the account from the Pro- | bate Court showing that Mr. Mattingly had | charged $100 for draw three wills. = Mc. | Davis replied that sinco Mr. Mattingly was a subscribing witness to the will he could tell all he knew about it. As the conversation was in the presence of Dr. Sowers it could not be called a confidential communication, TESTIMONY ADMITTED. Judge Cole held that what hed been said in the presence of Dr. Sowers was admissible, to which Col. Totten took an exception on the ground that this was a privileged commanica- | tion and irrelevant, | Continuing, Mr. Mattingly said that Mr. | Hatchinson asked him what disposition would | be made of his estate by law in case he died | intestate. The explanation seemed to impress him favorably, and he asked Mr. Mattingly to call Inter, as he wanted to consult with his wife. When witness returned Mr. Hutchinson told him that he wanted to leave all his property to his wife during her lifetime and at her death to his two daughters, There was large amount of property in his wife's name which he wished to have de- scend to his daughters, and asked how this could be arranged. The wit- ness explained that Mr. and Mrs. Hutei son could both draw their wills then, and thi was done. Both wills were taken by witness. When Mr. Hutchinson died bis wall was filed in the register's oitice. Mra. Hutchinson's will had been sent to Mr. W. B. Webb, accompanied bya note, which, it appeared,’ was lost. A copy of the note was read from Mr. Mattingly's letter-book, in which he informed Mr. Webb | that Mr. Hutchiuson had made a will so favor- | able to bis wife in consideration of that will made by her. ‘The letter, however, was not admitted as evidence by the court, MRS, OLMSTEAD'S WILL IDENTIFIED. The examination of Mr. Mattingly was re- sumed this morning by Mr. Davia. Mr, Mat- tingly said he had no connection with the es- tate of Hayward M. Hutchinson after the death of Mr. Hutchinson, The witness identified the will of Mrs. Olmstead and said it was in his handwriting. He drew it at the Portland Flats the evening it was signed. He reached there about 8 o'clock on the evening of the day it was made and found Mr. and Mire. | Olmstead together. He chatted with them for short time, when Mr. Olmstead left the room. Mrs, Olmstead then told witness what sort of a will she desired to make, AN OBJECTION OVERRULED, Col, Totten objected to what Mrs. Olmstend said to Mr. Mattingly, on the ground that he was her attorney, and that to relate what she said to him would bea violation of the on- fidential relations existing between attorney and client. ‘Mr. Davis claimed that Mr. Mattingly, as one of the witnesses to the will, was made a com tent witness as to the testatrix's wishes. sides, the right to waive the privilege was the caveatee’s, as he was the legal representative of the testatrix. The Conrt—That 1s the very question at issne here. That is, whether the caveatee or Mrs. Ball, the caveator and the heir-at-iaw, was the legal representative of the deceased. The material question was the state of the tes- tutrix’s mind at the time, and on that ground he would permit Mr. Mattingly to tell what Mrs. Olmstead said to him, Col. Totten noted an exception. WHAT MES. OLMSTEAD DESIRED. Mr, Mattingly then said that Mrs. Olmstead told him that she wished to make a will which woutd leave everyibing she possessed to her husband. He asked her if she understood that | such a will would give to her husband ail | her interest in her father's estate. and she remarked that the did He then) drew up the will und gave it tober to read. She complained that her eves burt ber and re- ested him to read it to her, which he did. fe then asked her if sue understood it and wished to have it witnessed, She said she did, | and she acknowledged und signed it in the presence of Dr.Sowers. Mr. Waters and himself. He took the will sway with him, and | it remained in his possession wntil he filed it in the Probate Court. Mr. Oimstend never re- | quested witness to divulge 1s contents, nor did witness make him acquainted with ite contents, NEVER KNEW A MORE AFFECTIONATE COUPLE. . Mr. Mattingly said he bad been well sc- quainted with Mr. and Mrs, Olmstead, and never knew a more affectionate couple. He never saw anything in their conduct to indicate that Mrs. Olmstead was afraid of her husband, or that she was dominated by him. To Mr. John 8. Webb Mr. Mattingly stated that he bad been Mr. Olnstead’s attorney for twenty years. Gen. Jefiries was also Mr. | Olmstead’s attorney. He did not remember just when he filed Mrs. Olmstead’ will. JOuN W. WATERS. John W. Waters said he bad known Mr. Olmstead ten or twelve years and had been his clerk. Was in his employ at the time of Mr. Olmstead’s marriage to Miss Hutchinson. On the evening Mrs. Olmstexd made her will witness was looking over Mr. Olmstead’s book 1m an ad- joining room at the Portland Flats. While at work be was called to witness a paper which he was told was Mrs. Olmsiead’s will He, Dr. Sowers and Mr. Mattingly witnessed it in her presence and then he returned to his work. ‘The witness said Mr. Olmstead was working in the room with him when be was summoned to witness the will. He did not remember what became of Mr. Olmstead when witness left the room. When Mrs. Olmsiead made the wall she seemed, so far as witness knew, conscious of knowing what she was doing. To Col.

His air and manner toward his wife was as toward every one cise. “He stood up for his side in an overbearing way,” said Mr. Hatton; “like you and I and every other man, “Don't say like me, Mr. Hatton.if you . replied Col. Totten. “For if I were like that, my wife would have ground for a divorce.” “There are other grounds than that,” ee marked Mr. Hatton, amid much laughter.
