Randie, which sailed from New York May 6 for Southampton, passed the Lizard at 3:55 o'clock this morning. The Paris left New York on the same day as the Campania of the Cunard line, which arrived at Liv about 10 o'clock last night. She took her departure from Sandy Hook fifteen minutes ahead of the Campania. It was expected that & close race would follow the sail: ing together of the two crack ocean steamers, but the result bas proved that the Campania is much the faster of the two vessels. The Campania’s panscngers arrived in Lon- don at an early hour this morning and will be scattered in every direction before the gers of the Paris will have been landed. Some surprise is expressed in steamship cir- cles at the comparative slowness of the Paris on this voyage. ——— TRACKED BY THEIR SPOIL. Capture of Two Men Supposed to Be the Dynamiter Train Robbers. Caro, Int, May 18.—Two men, supposed to be those who robbed the Mobile and Ohio ex- press car on the night of the 11th,were arrested at Barkley, Ky., and taken to Laketon last night. It is said they were tracked from the scene of the robbery to their hiding place by scraps of paper torn from express packages. ‘The names or anything more definite cannot be learned now. ——-*— LOOKING TOWARD BISMARCK. Reconciliation. Beni@ May 13.—The socialists’ organ, Vor- waerts, publishes a letter which purports to have been written by Prince Albrecht of Prus- sia, regent of Brunswick, to a personage whose name is not given. but who is understood to be Chancellor von Caprivi. The date of the letter is the 9th day of May. In the letter Prince Albrecht said that he was asked by Chamberlain von Witzleben to manage to invite Prince Bismarck to meet the German Emperor at the inaug- uration of the monument to the late Em- peror William I. Chamberlain von Witzleben thought, the letter says, that a public recon- ciliation would influence the elections favor- ably. Prince Regent Albrecht, the let- ter goes on to say, was impressed with the importance of the idea, and therefore communicated it to Chancellor Ca- privi, aesuming the chancellor to be the person to whom the letter was addressed. RUMORS OF GOLD SHIPMENTS. ‘They Had an Unfavorabie Effect on Prices ‘This Morning. New Yous, May 18.—The stock market | opened weak and lower. Prices declined 34 to 134 per cent. The weakest stocks were Amer- ican sugar, cordage common and the grangers. Cordage common sold at 103, the lowest price ever touched.

Even the favorable bank statement failed to check the selling movement and further im- portant amounts of stocks were sold, but at rapidly declining prices, room was flooded with unfavorable rumors. The gold shipments for next week's European steamers were placed at fabulous amounts and there were hints of fresh financial complications.
