8 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, MONDAY, MAY 8, 1893—TEN PAGES. PROF. HARRINGTON TESTIFIES. He Explains Many Matters Which Have Been Brought Out in the Investigation. THE TOWNSHEND, PERRY, CRANE AND NICHOLS CASES REFERRED TO AT LENGTH AND HIS ACTION IN EACH ACCOUNTED ¥FOR—WHY MW 'LAUGHLIN Was DISMISSED. After Tae Stan's report of the weather bureau investigation closed on Saturday after- Noon the testimony was continued and the de- fense practically closed their case, although one More sitting will be held this afternoon at 4 clock, after which its thought the taking of testimony will have been finished, and Gen. Colby will begin the arduous work of making @ final review of the voluminous testimony, com- Prising many hundred typewritten pages. Saturday after the other witnesses had been finished with Prof. Harrington went on the stand, and bis evidence was of the greatest in- terest in the explanations it offered, from the defense point of view, for the matters upon which charges had been based. Before Prof. Harrington took the stand, and after Capt. Stoue bad finished, Chief Clerk Smith and Private Secretary McCady added to their former testimony. Mr. Smith gave evi- dence to his knowledge of the friction between Capt. Stone and Mr. McLaughlin in regard to the latter's aileged delay in signing vouchers for the pay rolls. He also corroborated the other witnesses for the defense in regard to the conversation between Lieut. Pursell and Prof. Hi m relating to thé reappointment oi Son: Wibec ona cnpert ‘compiler. According to Mr. Smith, Prof. Tieringtrn did not in any way urge Lieut. Pursell to refrain from laving the matter before the Secretary of Agriculture on the grounds that it would hurt him (Hai Fington) in the investigation, but that on ti other hand the professor had said that it wa: neither of their business, as Mrs. Baker had been appointed by Secretary Morton himself, and any action which Lieut. Pursell should take in the matter would only tend to getting ‘the lieutenant himself into trouble. Private Secretary MeCady, who was also in| the room at the time the conversation took place. corroborated this version of the affair. Prof. Harrington has hitherto listened lently to the evidence, but at this point he took | place. He had dictated the letter of recom-| the stand actively. PROF. HARRINGTON'S TESTIMONY. Prof. Harrington testitied to being chief of ‘the bureau: to baving been appointed in 1891 dy the President on the recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture. Formerly he had for ee been professor of astronomy at Ann Arbor University and edited a scientific Tneats made by him in the forecasting service. In this regard the witness spoke of tne capable services of Clayton and Bassler, of whom men- tion has been made. The witness said there were about 350 emploves of the bureaa outside the city and about 120 in this city. about whom charges had been made. In re- gard to Titus Townshend Prof. Harrington told i tion with Capt. Townshend, who | ed tab Bs Saat Bison | fessor’s scientitic efficiency had been produced | had told him that his son was formerly in the service and had a good record. He had stayed at Savannah during the vellow fever epidemic 4 carried on bis official work The witness had considered this a deed of the highest bravery. The captain had told him that after- ward his son had taken to drinking, had got into trouble and left the service. Prof. Har- rington said that he felt a high regard for Capt. ‘Townshend. but had given him little or no en- couragement that he would appoint his sou, as was desired. Afterward the question of an- other observer at Pike's Peak came up. The matter was left in Mr. McLaughlin's hands, who was dilatory in toking action. MLAUGHLIN RECOMMENDED TOWNSHEND. “Finally,” said Prof. Harrington, “McLaugh- Jin came to me and recommended young Titus ‘Townshend tor Pike's Peak. He gave hima clean bill of health. That is, let me under- stand that he was capable mentally, morally and physically. Not one word was said about any forgery, and I absolutely knew nothing about any euch crime until Iwas told by my counsel, Mr. Perry, that it comprised one of the charges against me.” ‘Tho witness had accepted young Townshend iyand he had been appointed. The first i that anything was going tet the telegram from Observer Myers, saying: “Townshend has re- turned toduty.” Recommend that he be re- tained,” which had been explained be the yourg’ man's father, who had told of re cering private intelligence to the effect that his soa bad been drinking again. Prof. Harrington had then considered ali the cireumstarces in the matier and bad requested Capt. Townshend to get his wite to write a let- | ter of adricnition to the young man, to write ene Simself and to drew the draft of a lette waren he tomeelf could send. The draft which | Capt. Townshend had drawn bed been crestly altered by witress, and afterward, om Mc augh- Tin’s advice, the phtase “your past good record” hhad been altered to “your past good services.” ‘McLaughlin had objected to the former phrase ‘on the ground that it might prove embarrass- pied = again. Prof. Harringt: the man ‘of. Harrington ex- fod that the encapado bad occurred while ownshend was off duty at Colorado Springs. Since that time he had heard nothing detri- mental to Townshend's character. Like a man he went through the gold cure, but still did his duty. Referring to young Townshend, Prof. Harrington said that in his opinion the young man ised to turn out one of the best men in the service. ‘The witness said again that he knew nothing of the forgery until lately, when told by his lawyer. THE CASE OF PERRY. Prof. Harrington next turned his attention to the case of Malcolm H. Perry, the observer at Palestine, Tex., who. it is claimed, he rein- stated after the man had been guilty of forging observations. According to Prof. Harrington Bis attention had first been called to this case by ‘Mr. McLanghlin,and he had turned it over tohim to investigate. "Perry had been suspended, and early in November Meianghlin had made his report. Prior to this the witness had given in- structions that all personal matters were to be deferred until after election. On the £ port be had therefore simply written. until after election.” The action had had no political significance whatever, and was simply taken in line with the general’ policy that dur- ing the few days preceding an election matters relating to personal character hud better be Postponed. At this time the witness had made En oficial trip to Mexico, and on. his return in January had found matters ‘relating to. the Perry affair in a very warm condition. The two Senators from Texas and the Represent- ative from the Palestine district were making every effort in Perry's behalt, while the best citizens of the neighborhood around the Pales- tine station had requested in the strongest terms that Perry be retained. The witness bad, however, still retained his impression that Perry should be dismissed, and his only idea had been to do this without the action being detrimental to the service in Texas. A LITTLE SENSATION. At this point Prof. Harrington created some fittle sensation. He testified that on February I6 he had decided that something should be done. and on that day he had accordingly laid before Secretary Rusk a letter recommending that Perry be dismissed. This letter was placed in evidence by the witness. was not required to state what took place at the interview with Secretary Rusk, but simply 1d: ‘The result of the interview changed my titude and I took the other view of the mat- ter.” Prof. Harrington then explained that the charges against Perry had never been setually proved, that he had received remark- ably strong testimonials from business men, Congressmen, Senators and cabinet officers.and that Perry himself had claimed throughout | irati, Ohio. express that the affair was the result of illness. jen. Colby—*What, in your opinion, were the actual tacts? Prof. Harrington—“I think they are shown fireman, found dead beneath the wreck: left leg | | torn off at the thigh. in my letter to the Secretary requesting his dusmissal.” Prof. Harrington further stated that both Representative Long and Inspector Whitehead Sead eonerted -hat Perry claioned there was an old feud between McLaughlin and himself. WHY PERRY WAS NoT DISMISSED. Gen. Colby—*What was the main reason for the reinstatement?” Prof. Harrington—“Beeause the Secretary refused to dismiss him.” ‘The witness then explained that if Perry was guilty only of carelessness he had been pun- ished Lif he was guilty of forgery be sbould have been ¢ bad taken the vareles uation, and that “d the tter.

THE CRANS-NICHOLS AFFAIR. Prof. Harrington next told of his connection | with the Crane-Nichols affair. He had known nothing of Nichols before his appointment, which had been made by Secretary Rusk with- out any consultation with him. Shortly after he had heard that it was necessary for Nichols [for that purpose. Afterward he had gathered |ina general way that the young man was not doing very weil, although he had heard no spe- | cific complaints in regard to the matter. Some | time later Observer Davis, in charge at. Nor- | folk, had come to him in such an excited state | of mind and with such exaggerated accounts of | Nichola that he had discounted the stories; however, he had thought that there was enough wrong at Norfolk to warrant the sending an |inspeetor to that point, and accordingly In- |spector Townshend had ‘been instructed. to make the trip. He bad not coneulted Mc- Laughlin on this step because there was no ne- | cessity to do so. McLaughlin was his adviser, | not his dictator. He consulted him when he needed his advice, and in this case he had no use for advice. | From Townshend's report he had gathered | the idea that Davis was sick, and that while | Nichols waa not an especially good observer, he was not a very bad one; that Davis had with- drawn his main charges, and that everything was all right. The matter had then been di | missed from his mind, and he had gone on his | trip, and during bis absence Davis had been | transferred and Crane sent to Norfolk. He had understood generally that this had been }done for the good of the service. He never knew Maj. Kock wood had any especial interest [in Nichols; knew ex-Secretary Rusk was in- | terested in the family, bat Gen. Rusk had told him to always treat Nichols as any other man. Prof. Harrington told of the conversation he | had with Crane in March, and from this conver- sation he had gathered that Nichols was not expecially satisfactory, and had told Crane to give Nichols a strong talk and report him if he did not improve. RANE'S APPLICATIONS FOR PROMOTION. Speaking of Crane's applications for promo- tion, Prof. Harrington said that they came with splendid recommendations aud that be himself | had gained a high idea of Crane’s energy and | ability and considered him just the man for the | mendation to Maj. Rockwood, as he had many others on matters apon which they had con- sulted. ‘The promotion had been made by the | Secretary and the commissions made out,which McLaughlin, as executive officer, had refused to forward, and had writtea, while witness was on a sick bed, the letter charging corrupt prac- tices against himself. fie had then dictated the letter to the Secretary requesting the dis- missal of McLaughlin, not on the ground that he had charged corruption against him, but for | insubordination, in refusing to forward com- missions signed by the Secretary of Agriculture and regular in every particular, ‘This ended Prof. Harrington's direct teatl- mony for the day. Mr. Perry remarked that he desired to call three or four well-known | scientitic gentlemen to testify to Prof. Harring- ton’s scientific reputation, but Gen. Colby thought as nothing detrimental to the pro- | it would not be necessary to go into that. ‘This view was satisfactory to Mr. Perry, who said he could then finish his case on Monday, and an adjournment was taken until 4 o'clock today. ggg aoe a CARL HARRIS’ LAST DAY. He Bade His Father, Mother and Brother Farewell. Carlyle W. Harris, the convicted poisoner of his wire, spent the best part of his last day on earth with pen, ink and paper revealing the the world. He saw Chaplain Wiles of the prison for a few moments and devoted hours to his state- ment for publication. He was a trifle more nervous than usual. Warden Durston talked with him awhile in the forenoon and said that he seemed to be less firm in his bearing than during the past few days. | Dr. Irvine, the prison physician, saw him twice yesterday and said that while Harris showed | alittle more nervousness than usual, he could discover no signs of breaking down, Harris’ appetite has been very light ever since he | has been in Sg Sing, and he ate very little } yesterday. Mrs. Harris remained st the boarding honse on State street yesterday and did not go to the sison. She took ber last farewell of her boy | Saturday afternoon. ‘The scene was one of the saddest that has ever been witnessed within the Prison walle, || ‘The mother broke down in anguish before his cell docr and wept, She prayed w:th her boy thet the horrible doom might be averted ‘and kissed him for the last time. The vounger brother. Allan. just on the verge of machood, aiso said good-bye Saturday. THE FATHE“’S FAREWELL, In the afternoon, shortly after 4 o'clock, | Charles L. Harris, the father, accompanied by | young Allan, went to the prison, Although the rules do not permit visitors to enter on Sunday, an exception was made, and the father and son met for the first time in years. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have been separated and | have lived apart for some time. The sous have been the mother, and when Carlyle was arrested it was the mother who took upon ber- self the task of proving his innocence. The father, who lives in Syracuse, took no part in the matter, but was deeply interested in its outcome. When the final decision of the governor came Mr. Harris determined to see his son once more before all was over. He ar- rived Saturdey and went at once to the house where Mrs. Harris is stopping. Father and mother met again on the eve of the death of their first born, and his death, too, by the stern decree of justice as a penalty for the murder of his wife. “Mr. Harris remained with his wife and son Allan until yesterday, when he saw Carlyle and talked with him less than half an hour. The father took the train back to Syracuse, Jeaving Mrs. Harris and Allan to wait uutil ali was over. Mrs. Harris is preparing a statement for the public, which will be given out after that of her condemned son. WHAT HELEN'S FATHER SAYS. The report of Commissioner Raines to Gov. | Flower in the Harris case was particularly pleasing to George Potts, the father of Mary Helen Potts. He read it over carefully and |said that he came to the conclusion that the governor was wise in not interfering. In speak- ing of the case he said: “{ doubt very much whether electricity will have any effect on a man like Harris. He is entirely devoid of soul and conscience and the wonderful nerve he dis- plays goes to show that he has no feelings. | Harris had an even chance for his life bofore | Dr. Kinmouth eame forwardand made an | aflidavit that he had sold my daughter mor- phine. flis story was a base fabrication.” ——— ree FAIL TO WORK.

The Bradley Martins Not Being Over- whelmed With Social Attentions. ‘Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Cacaco, May 6, 1893. The Bradley Martins of New York, with their distinguished son-in-law, the Earl of Craven, | and his seventeen-year-old bride, have either | not invited or have not been tendered social attentions in this city. They have apartments at the Richelieu, with a retinue of attendants, and were on time to see the fair opened, but they have not attracted attention socially, and the eccentric earl has not received the news- Paper attention that New York saw fit to giv him. On the contrary, they have lived very quietly and appear to be doing cousiderable sight sec- ing. Relatives who ate in the city have joined with them in one or two quiet dinners at their | hotel, and these are usually followed by a/ theater party. In spite of these facts th ladies of the party did not leave their jewels at home, and the vaults of the hotel are supposed to retain $300,000 worth of these in safe keep- ing. The earl does not dispense with any of the little attentions that money and a title ob- | tain at the Richelieu. Bell boys tip toe by his lordship's apartments until 11a.m., up to which hour the earl prefers not to be disturbed. Neither are the doors slammed by maids on his floor, and one evening this week,when a private dinner party was in progress on an upper floor, the earl demanded that the halls be cleared, and it was done. His lordship is _also said to be a trifle impet- uous. When a dispatch was sent to him one day this week by a reporter, who desired to know if the earl had badly ent his leg with » razor, as described, his lordship would return | neither answer nor telegram, and the pretty maid in waiting said the earl tore up the telegram. THE WEATHER. Chicago has not much to congratulate herself for upon the weather subject as it related to the opening of the fair. It wasa trifle better that day than it had been for ten days previous, but that improvement left a miserable day for people who were not warmed by pride and | patriotism. Mud under foot, drizzling rain at times, a cold, raw wind andthe sun hidden except at unfrequent and brief periods was the unwelcome program. Yet 200,000 or more | people went to the fair and made the best of it, | What has happened since then gives promise of much better days soon to come. Spring is yet in abeyance, but the wind and the absence of rain have worked many improvements at the | fair grounds. The mud is fast going beneath acres of rapidly prepared and hand- |some roadways and walks, and hundreds of | unfinished details have been compleced within |@ few days. Thirteen thousand men worked |almost day and night for a week before the | opening day in a desperate effort to complete the fuiras nearly as possible before President Cleveland touched the button, but human en- ergy and enthusiasm could not wholly offset ind and rain. ‘The result was that at the last moment the men who have reared the great ex- hibition had toswallow their pride and bow to the inevitable, Nothing was left undone that could be done, but some things could not be done. Yet there was more of the show to be seen at the opening than one could have examined carefully in weeks, Each day's work at the present time counts wonderfully in the addition of decorative details, and visitors need not post- pone coming, for what isn’t now ready will be finished before they leave. CONFERENCE OF METHODIST BISHOPS, Amid ail the excitement attending the open- ing of the fair, this city has been cailed upon to play host to the distinguivhed bishops of the Methodist Church, They came upon the heels of the departing President, and, to the great Methodist world, the bishops’ semi-enuual cor ference is most notable and important. It isa distinguished body of men who thus come to- gether, and they attract attention even in the shadows that follow the rising of that effulgent luminary, the world’s fair. The conference is held chie#y for the pur- pose of determining at what conferences the various bishops will preside next fall. During their stay these distinguished Methodists will remain the guests of prominent laymen of the suburb of Evanston. The board 1s composed cf sixteen bishops. Twelve of these were pres- ent at the first mesting. Bishop Newman is in South America an? cannot be present. There are in all aout 12:, conferences, half of which | are held in the spring and half in the fall, Semi-annual meetings are held by the board, | when the conferences to be held by each bishop are designated, Besides those belonging to the board there are missiunary bishops. They are Bishop William Taylor, whose episcopal terri- tory is confined to Africa, and Bivaop Luobusa, | hose episcopal jurisdiction is coufined to India and Malay. “They will not be present at the conference. “ach of the other bishops has jurisdiction durit g one Year over the ministers ‘and members of: the conference to-which he | has been assigned. While the conferences do not change from year to year it is a general rule that the sam bishop will not attend the same conference two consecutive years. The | } same Jaw of ittinerancy applies to the bishops that applies to tke ministers, except that © | \ bishops themselves govern their own actions. | Certain cities are designated by the general | conference as the home for bishops. ‘The bishops choose their own places of residence | from among these cities. The full board as it now stands includes Bishop Thomas Sowman, St. Louis; R. 8. Fos ter, Boston; S. M. Merrill, Chicago; E. C. drews, New York: H.W. Warren, Denver, ( C.D. Foss, Philadelphia: John F, Hurst,Wash- ington, D.'C.; W. X. Ninde, Detroit; John M. Walden, Cincinnati ‘Mallalieu, Butfalo: Minneapolis; J. HV Fitzgerald, New Orlean Newman, Omaha; D. A. Goodsell, San Fran- cixeo. In addition to assigning conferences over which the various bishops are to preside there are also other important functions in connec- tion with the present meeting of the board. In accordance with the recommendaticns of the general conference held last year the board will appoint committees on the organie union of ail Methodist churches, and on other branches brought before its notice. Although ithas no legislative power. many important questions will come up for discussion. | Dela- gates will be appointed by the board to attend the general conference of Canada, England, Ireland and South America, ‘The fall conferences over which the various | bishops will be designated to preside are as follows: Arizona, Anstin, Black Hills, Blue Ridge, California, California German, Central Ihnois, Central New York, Central Ohio, Cen- tral Tennessee, Chicago German, Cincinnati Columbia, Columbia River, Dea Moines, De troit, Eust German, East Obio, East Tennessee Erie, Foochow, Genese, Holsion, Idaho, Ili: nois, Indiana, Indian “Mission, Towa, Japan, Kentucky, Korea, Lower California, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New | Mexico Engli-h, New Mexico Spanish, North | Carolina, North’ China, North German, North Montana, Mississippi, North Ni North | Ohio, North Pacitic Germa man, \ Towa, 2 Nebraska, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, Ohie, Oregon, Pitts- burg, Puget Sound, Rock River, St. Louis ( man, Southwest Indiana, Southern California, Southern German, Southern Ilinois, Switzer- Jand, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West China, Western Norwegian-Danish, West German, | West Nebraska, West Texns, West Virginia, West Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wyoming Mission, A NOTABLE FIGURE. Bishop Thos. Bowman of St. Louis, who pre- sided at the first meeting of his colleagues, is fast becoming, if he is not already, one of the | celebrated men of Methodism. The respect | and admiration—even adoration—attracted by | this kindly and venerable man grows with his | | crews attend, and, in unot increasing years, and has now placed him pose sibly at the very head of the cause he serves. | He isassimple in action and as plain in his, | talk as he is benign in appearance and forceful in intellect. Narrow lines of thought have never hampered his work, and whether among his friends in Methodi«m ‘or in the wider world of other beliefs he is given wherever he goes the consideration that his gentle kindness de- | | mands and that his liberal and charitable views | deserve. Personally he is small in stature, | with silvery hair and a face in which the gentle- ness of a woman is strengthened by the lines | that tell of long years of hard intellectual work. | He is honored above all others by those inter- | ested in the conference, and in or out of the | | chair of the presiding officer he is the guiding spirit of the meeting. MOODY AND SANKEY TOGETHER AGAIN, | ‘The long severed partnership that existed for | years between Dwight I. Moody and his vocal | colleague, Ira D. Shankey, has been resumed, | temporarily at least, if not permanently. ‘They | | will renew their joint work in this city during | the summer, and religious circles attach much significance to the project, which is one grow- ing out of a pian outlined by Mr. Moody some time since. Both revivalists have reached the city, and as usual have made themselves com- | fortable at a leading hotel. Next Sunday they will hold their first services at the Chicago Avene Chureh. Mr. Moody will be here | during May. ‘The plan contemplates revival | services to be led by well-known ministers in | various city churches. After Mr. Moody at | Then will come Dr. Talmage of Brooklyn, Dr. Cusler of New York and Dr. Gibson of Boston. | PUBLISHER SCHULTE'S FAILURE. ‘The failure of Francis J. Schulte, the pub- lisher, is a matter of regret to the book-loving people of Chicago, as well as to the writers who have had dealings with the bright young business man of the literary circle. Mr. Schulte is young—not mach over thirty years of age, but in the few years in which be had built up a large business he had found time to make a host of friends. It was his generosity which caused the failure—the taking up of accommo- dation paper for the late Horace O'Donohue. Schulte’s work bid fair to make Chicago a liter- ary center. His publications were of a higher grade than those of the most of his competitors, and in selecting his matter he showed rare judgment. He was noted at the Writers’ Club and at the Press Club for his fair dealings and lovable personality. Wherever he went he made friends, and in consequence he brought to Chicago the publication of many of the best works of contem: John McGovern, Opie P. Rend, LeRoy Arm* strong, Austin Granville and most of the other well-known writers of this city intrusted the printing of their works to him and join with those who regret his misfortune. NEW FEATURE IN NEWSPAPER WORK. With the growth of the city the newspapers will be obliged to look fora great portion of their supply of matter to the south. The West- ern Union Telegraph Company in one night shifted a thousand wires with switchboard and | Instruments to their magnificent building. half a mile south of their old structure and as far from the newspaper center. With the tele- graph company went the Associated Press, whose Chicago office is the most important 1m the country. With 11, too, went the City Press Association, with its large staff, and the Lake Marine News Association, which is to. those in- terested in lake shipping what the Associated Press is to the general public. ‘The removal of the great news gathering agencies is marked by agreat piece of engineer ing. the connection of all_ the city newspaper offices with the Western Union building by a system of pneumatic tubes which pass under- ground and when in working order will convey Pouches of manuscript at the rate of a mile a minute to the various offices. The system is an entirely new que and, has been adopted by the ‘engineers in charge of the work after a thorough examination of those in vogue in the principal cities of Enrope. It is expected that the new syatem will have widespread results as a model for ageneral system of pneumatic transmission in large cities. ——__. FAIR GATES WERE CLOSED. No Tickets Were Sold to the Exposition Grounds Yesterday. The rule to close the gates of the world’s fair Sunday was rigidly enforced yesterday, at least 80 far as the ticket-purchasing public was con- cerned. Tho fortunate hundreds who held passes were admitted, however, and allowed to wander about the grounds at their will. It was a beautiful day and thousands of work- ingmen, some of them with families, went to the fair grounds under the impression that the gates were to be opened, and when these toilers were turned away they left in anything but a good humor. It war highly aggravating to them to see the favored hundreds, even thou- sands, enter the grounds on passes, while they, who worked all the week, were excluded. ‘A TEST CASE. The validity of Congress closing ths gates is to be tested in the courts this week. Charles W. Klingman, who is a stockholder in the fair, has served notice on Secretary Edmonds that he will appeal to the courts to open the fair on Sunday. In his letter ne, in the interest of the working people and as representative of other stockholders, demands that the people be ad- mitted Sunday the same as other days in the week. “I demand this,” continued he, “‘not only for my interest financially as a stockholder, but more expecially for the people who could’ not see the exposition any other day except Sun- day. Having made this demand on you in writing, I have placed the matter in the hands of my attorney, who wili commence legal pro- ceedings against the exposition if my demands are not complied with.” President Higginbotha Klingman’s letter when « what had not learned of reporter asked him ntended to do about it, He read the letter carefull “We shall be compelled to defend the suit if one is brought,” he tinally said. Resist Sunday ¢ pening. in other words,” the Teporter remarked. “Yes, thatis the position in which we would be placed, although nearly ail the members are in favor of a seven-da ir. “However, I do not think anything wil! come of this notice. [ beneve Mr. Klingman can be convinced that his plan is not the proper one and that ic isa better pian to let matters rest as they are at present.” THE REGATTA, Ata meeting of the executive committee of the Chicago navy Saturday nigit important steps were taken in preparation for the regatta to be heid at Lake Geneva, Wi 24. It was decided to send Frank F. Pratt abroad to confer with the crews at Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin, Dublin and other points relative to ‘their participation. Another deie- gate will be sent to Australia within the next two weeks. Yule and Harvard have accepted the invitation on the condition that foreign cial correspondence, Oxtord and Cambridge have agreed to go if American crews participate. A supreme col- lege trophy, in the shape of a gold cup, will be awarded, to be yowed for by college crews only. ARRESTED FOR SELLING EXHIRIT ARTICLES. Herman and Hugo Bohm, exhibitors of art goods in the Vionna section of the manufac- turers’ building, were arrested Saturday on the charge of selling articles forming part of their exhibits, which had been admitted free of duty Customs officers were placed in charge of thei exhibits, valued at £50,000, until the case is dis- posed of before Commissioner Hoyne today. +o. ‘OOKED ALIVE, Lr ALLY Explosion of a Boiler on River Packet. One of the worst accidents which has occurred in this region for years took place on the Mis- sissippi river at Wolf Island, twenty-four miles a Mississippi below Cairo, IIL, at 7:13 0 yesterday | morning. A rear end of one of the boilers of the steamer Ohio, a Cincinnati and "Memphis packet, blew out. Several of the deck hands and deck passengers who were eating break- fast at the time were literally cooked alive and a large number received eerious burns, Following is a list of the dead: William Hurst- man, colored, fireman, Louis; Hampton Coliins, colored, Memp!

From the New York Sun, During the past two years the German and English papers have frequently asserted that in case of war the mobilization of the Russian army would be slow, and that France could be crushed by the triple alliance before Russia, | could come to her assistance, According to St. Petersburg correspndent of the ‘igaro, however well founded this as- sertion might be some years ago, it is farirom | being solid today. Russia has been working | silently, but with feverish activity, to perfect | her means of mobilization, and in a compara- | tively short period she has made enormous | progress in this direction, A perfect network of railroads is spread over fourteen military The order of mobilization, sent by ph, will be communicated through the iministration.

The mi sion of these troops would be to hamper much as possible the Germans, by cutting com- | munications and destroying ‘railroads xt all | points within reach. ‘This, of course, is on the | supposition that they could overcome the ditt | culties of their task, which is by no means | tain. But at all events it ix believed that, even if defeated in this effort, they own long enough to enable the work of their | comrades behind to be compieted.
