In the eariy summer of 1892 Lieut. | | Robinson, his wife and brother left New | | York for a two months’ outing, and for | over five weeks were in this little known | | part of South America. Before reaching | | the mainland they spent a few days on the | coral island of Curacao, where they made | considerable collections of butterflies and | humming birds. At Balzonillo, on the | coast, they were delayed a few days by | trouble with the custom officials, but occu- | pied the time by rambling through the old | Spanish-Indian town, snap-shotting the | scantily linen-elad natives, who were not | yet used to kodaks, and collecting in the | | Vicinity, paddling about over the overflowed | | marshes, it being the close of the rainy sea- son, in clumsy log dugout canoes. After a short time they ascended the Mag- ‘dalena river in 2 wheezy, stern-wheeled | steamboat, that crawled up the swift, aly- zagging river, stopping frequently for wood | and freight, affording the party occasions | to roam among the novel tropic wealth of | vegetation and shoot many strange birds and animals, gorgeously colored maca green, blue and red parakeets and parrots, | spiny iguanas and Hazards, armadillos, the odd capybaras, animals much like a cross between a plg and a rabbit; a couple of tlee: | cats, and barely missed ‘killing a jaguar. | The sandbars along the river banks were | crowded with alligators that were bold enough to seize birds that fell within their | reach before the collectors could pick ther up. At one spot Mrs. Robinson discovered | a curtous, spherical clay structure in a | bush, and on breaking it open found it to! / contain a tiny, ludicrous, "possum-like crea- | ture, with fuzzy fur and hairless tall, and | jonly a few inches long.

That the leading officials of the Knights are san- guine of a most successful affair is fully shown by the following order issued by Major General Carnahan to the uniformed ranks of the organization: The major general commanding announces to the officers:and sir knights of the Uni- form Rank that he visited Washington city February 21, 22 and 23. The purpose of his visitation was to ascertain definitely what had been done and what was being done | ment of the Uniform Rank, to be held in Washington in August next. It is a great pleasure to report that the executive com- mittee of the District of Columbia have suc- ceeded thus far most admirably in their work, and it can-now be said that the en- campment is an assured success. The funds for carrying on the work are well in hand, | and the executive committee report that they are receiving the hearty co-operation of the citizens of Washington. Most of? the bricade commanders, and many of the regimental commanders, have d Washington in company with the major general, and they will advise their | several commands of what they saw and ; learned concerning matters connected with | the encampment. 2. All officers and sir knights will take notice of the following arrangements that have already been perfected, ana they will rn themselves accordingly: The Uniform Rank will go into camp on | the monument grounds in the city of Wash- | ington, D. C., on Monday, August 27, and in making your arrangements for transpor- | tation, see to it that these arrangements are perfected with the railroads, so that you | shall reach Washington not later than the | evening of August | At So'clock p. m., August 27, the brigade | and regimental commanders and their staff | o'licers will report at the headquarters of | the n jor general, in camp, for instruc- | tions and orders. 3. The street parade will take place on the | afternoon of Tuesd: August ‘The col- umn will pass in review before the Presi- | dent of the United States and his cabinet, and before the supreme chancellor and the | members of the Supreme Lodge. The major general wishes to call the attention of the, Uniform Rank to the fact ‘that this parade | will also be the celebration of the anniver- sary of the establishment of the Uniform Rank. 4. On the afternoon of Wednesday, Au- gust 29, will be the field inspection and re- | View. This inspection and review will be | by Major General John M. Schofield, eom- | manding the United States army, and the major general commanding the Uniform | Rank Knights of Pythias will take the place of corps commander. 5. For the information of all mounted of- ficers who will be present during the en- campment, the executive committee at Washington has assured the major general | that the cost of horses for use during the encampment shall not exceed $4 per day, and at their request this announcement is now made. 6. Officers and sir knights, the indica- | Hons now point to a very large attendance ef the Uniform Rank at Washington in August. The prospect is that we shall have the most favorable raliroad rates we have ever had; the preparations for your recep- | tion are well under way, and your enter- ainment will be on a magnificent scale. | Never before, in the history of the order, have you had the honor of being reviewed ; by the President of the United States, nor has any other organization of a similar character had the honor of being Inspected end reviewed by the general commanding the United States army, as you will be in August next. These honors, and many others that you will receive, should certain- | ly stir every officer and sir knight to put | forth special efforts to reach Washington and take part with his brothers in arms to make the encampment, the parade, and the | inspection and review a grand success. oe LARGER DEATH RATE, Various Causes Bring About _erense in the City. There was a sudden jump in the death |Tate last week as compared with that of the several preceding weeks, according to | the report of Health Officer Hammett. From 57 in the previous report the number | of deaths arose to 145 last week. The re- ports of causes of mortality do not disclose the’ presence of any especial disease, with the exception of those of the lungs. Over one-third of all the deaths were caused by attacks upon the lungs and respiratory ¢r- gans. Twenty-seven fatal cases of pneu- monia were reported. Most of these were acute in their nature, having consumed from but three to seven days’ duration in the last illness. The contagious diseases cover a remarkably limited fleld, there hav- | ing been only iz zymotic cases out of the | whole M5 deaths. There was not a fatal- ity from typhoid fever, nor from malarial prs, aNd but one death from diphtheria. Five new cases of the latter were reported @ seven of scarlet rash, with no death therefrom. Infant mortality is normal, while aged people over sixty years old furnished nearly one-third of ail the list of the departed. br. C. M. Hammett, health officer, pre- sents the following report for week ending March 3, ISM: Number of deaths, 145; white, 82; colored, Death rate per 1,4 per annum: White, 218; colored, 36.4.

He Will Make a Dignified Fight Against Tariff Revision. Senator Teller gave the Senate a broad |hint yesterday that he could not be de- | pended upon to obstruct the passage of the tariff bill beyond his mere disapproval and its expression. He was talking about the seigniorage question, which was under a desultory discussion, and he took occasion to announce his program in the following terms: “I am willing to join the opponents of an improper tariff measure in any rea- sonable opposition to it,but Iam not willing that the silver question shall be made sub- jordinate to it, or that it shall be made a | foot ball by those who are not in favor of |@ proper monetary system, from my stand- point, for the purpose of defeating what | they think to be a bad tariff bill. The eub- | Jeet is too great and too sacred to be thus | treated and thus handled, and so far as I am concerned, I shall confine my opposi- tion to the revenue bill within the strict | rules of parliamentary opposition. 1 shall not feel, for myself, under an obligation to | contest that bill as I contested the repeal of the Sherman law, because the evils that will result from it, even from my stand- point, should it become a law, are not uny- | thing like the evils that have followed and are to continue to follow the repeal of the | Sherman law.” eee Army Orders, First Lieut.

The following is a statement of the snow on the ground at 8 p.m. Monday, March issued yesterday by Prof. Harrington, chief of the weather bureau: From Minnesota eastwards to the Atlan- tic coast the area now covered by any considerable depth is confined to the upper Michigan peninsula and the northern por- tions of New England, over portions of which region from one to two feet of snow have disappeared since the issue of the preceding chart. Westward of the Missouri valley the southern limit is somewhat farther north than on February 26 over the eastern Rocky mountain] slope, but the area now 2o) |is farther westward, and nearly touches |the Pacific coast in northern Oregon. There is now about three inches more snow in western Montana than on February 26. — P cecaecutteacarta i Pe Notices.

Teo Warm a Reception Given a Re= turning Gradante. John W. Hutchinson, jr., the young New York lawyer who was hazed while return- ing from 4 visit to his alma mater, Swarth- more College, Pa., on Sunday evening, was seen yesterday at his office. Mr. Hutchinson is rather stockily built, of medium height and wears his golden- brown hair parted in the mi and rather long. He told a graphic story of ihe j outrage, as he styled it, that had been per- Petrated upon him. “You see,” began Mr. Hutchinson, “while Was a student of Swarthmore, four or five years ago, 1 was wack manager of the athletic association. I had been mainiy im- strumentai in having a tence built «round the athletic grounds and making other im- provements, the cost of which nus been en- | talled upon future classes, This has anger- ed the younger students against me, end when I cailed upon a sister, wno is a stu- dent at the college, they took occasion Ww vent their spleen upon me. left the coilege parior about 9 o'clock Sunday evening, waiking down the long | Slope toward ime rauroad sition, when suddenly 1 was surrounded by ubout # Score of students, who upparently came cut of the ground as if by magic.

Suit Against a Baronet for Brench of Promise After Twenty-Five Years. A London special cable dispatch to the New York Word says: Action for breach of | promise has been brought against Sir Fran- cis Cook,who married Tennie Claflin of New York, sister of Victoria Woodhull. This case will be perhaps the most extra- ordinary one of its kind. |_ Sir Francis Cook is one of the merchant Princes of Engiand. He is head of the great firm of Cook & Sons, dealers in silk and ail |kinds of stuffs, and is several times a mii- lionaire. He was created a baronet by | Gladstone in I8s6, after g:ving his house at Kensington, valued at 250,000, for a royal | school of music. | ‘The woman who brings the action against |him has been married seven years, and the ‘alleged promise to marry was | five years ago, when Sir Francis’ first wire was still living. He married Miss Clafia |nine years ago. Sir Francis is now sevem= | ly-seven years of age. The World correspondent went to Dough- ty House, Richmond, today, where the vea- erable baronet resides, to ask for his ver- sion of the strange charge. Doughty House is the finest of the houses on the famous terrace at Richmond, and commands @ grand view of the Thames valley. The pic- ture gallery contains one of the finest col lections of old masters in the country | | Sir Francis said he was too tired and un- ‘well to talk, but Lady Cook and her secre- tary unfolded this tale: Twenty-five years ago Sir Francis met im |@ train coming from London to Richmond @ handscme young woman. He asked permis- sion to call upon her, which was readily \granted, and after each call he gave her | Money, usually five or ten pounds. She then went by the name of “Mrs. Richmond.” | Since then Sir Francis had learned that she ;had been the misiress of a man named ‘Richards, and that her maiden name was Susans. ‘After a short time Sir Francis en- deavored to drop her, but she continually bothered him for money. He therefore paid |her one pound weekly. Sir Francis declares that he never promised to marry her and | that he never entertained any idea of such a thing. | After pursuing her evil ways for several | years she married one Holland. This man \repeatedly came to Sir Francis, on behalf ‘of his wife, for money, causing painful | scenes at the door of the Cook mansion. |About six months ago she threatened the | present action. Sir Francis, though old and [in need of rest, thought it his duty, said | Lady Cook, to fight this attempt at black- | mail. The case is set down to be tried this week |in_ the court of Queen's bench. Mrs, Holland claims £12.00 damages. In addition to breach of promise to marry her, she alleges that Sir Francis caused a crimi- nal operation to be performed. ‘Sir Francis has retained as his counsel Mr. Lockwood, Q. C. and M. P., the most eloquent and daring lawser in England, and the trial Is sure to be one of the most amus- ing in English history. Tady Cook steadfastly sustains her ven- erable hustand. ———_ree- Wants His Release. Joha F. Dreis was arrested the 4th of January last on the complaint of his wife, Annie Dreis, that he had been guilty of threats of violence against her. The Police Court, on the testimony? of certain physi- cians, decided that he was insane, and he was sent to St. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum, Yesterday he filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, claiming that he is fllegally confined, He alleges that he has consider- able property and some business interests in the city, and that he has no one to care for these for him. He maintains that bie trial without a jury on the issue of in- sanity, and asserts that this is unconstitu- tional. Justice Hagner made the writ re- turnable March 10, 184. 9 The Navy Grip.
