Mysterions Military and Naval Move- ments—Secretary Bayard Says the Imprisoned Editor Must be Released, Something in the Win WABHINGTON, August 9.—[Spe eram to the Bre.|—A private diss cefved from New York to-night sa rumior 15 current there to the effect that war material is being sent to the Mexican border and that United States naval vessels have been ordered to the Gulf. Owing to the late- ness of the hour it is impossivle to get defin- ite information on this subject to-night, and 1t I8 doubtful if any of the ofticials of the war or navy departments would be willing to divulge any facts in relation to the subjeet of war preparations having been made. In navy circles, however, there is a considerable feeling of curiosity in regard to the m fous action of the secretary of the nav ordering the Galena to sea under sealed ders last week, The destination of the v sel is unknown, but it is very generally belleved that she has been ordered to the Gult. The Vandalia and Juniata were or- dered to proceed to Valparaiso last Friday. They will probably touch at Key West on the voyage down, where orders may aw if the department considers it necessa make a demonstration. The Swatara, Ten- nessee and Yantic are still at Portland, where they will jrobably remain sall ata moment’s notice. There stationed in_ Ari and New Mexi thousand United States ¢ have been ordered to the Paso the orders have not been here and the probabilities are Wonld not. be. While authentic information is exceedingly scarce there is a very prevalent feeling in military circles that something is in the wind, or- i troons. vieinity of made pupli that t Threatened With Murder. ErPAso, Texas, Aurast 0.—T over the Cutting embroglio is much intensi- fied to-day. Rumors of every kind are heard, but upon’ mvestigation prove to be false. A passenger on the train from Chihuahua City this morning says that it is known positivel: that Governor Maceyra has ordered the P del Nurte authorities, in case from Te 5 deliveritto the Amel 1s given for what it is worth. ican troops ave said 208 for Paso del Norte on Sunday night. 1t is asserted that a sccond demand has been made that Amcrican officials be notified to leave Mex- ico. Large crowds gather at street cor- ner, and the arr of a company of the Tenth United States infantry at Fort Bliss, which was assigned here two months aco, has caused a rumor to the e hat eight carloads of United States soldiers were on the spot. The bad effect of these difliculties upon business is gt last becoming very ap- parent and aing looks like war from a Mexican standpoint. They have just called Cutting before the court in Paso'del Norte, and Consul Brigham is in attendance. The Cutting affair is practically unchanged. There were rumors ail day of his having been quietly spirited away to Chihuabua, but they turned out to_be unfrue. This evening he is still in jail. During the afternoon he was called before the court once more and notitied that he hns been granted an appeal to the supreme conrt of Chiiuahua, and that the lawyer who had been officially assigned to his defense had forwarded the necessary ]‘Illlé‘l’s in the case. The proceeding may, eep him in Paso del Norte for some day: although he himself is under the impression that he will at any moment, perhaps, be car- ried off, He is, besides, afraid he may be as- sassinated as 'soon_as he leaves Paso del Norte, and that the Mexicans will give as an excuse that he tried to escape. to have Bayard and the Cutting Case. BALTIMORE, August §.—Secretary Bayard, speaking to a correspondent last night of the Cutting case, saw Do _reason why a satis- factory adjustment of the difficulty should not be reached. He has been assured that such was the desire of the Mexican gov ment by the resident Mexican minister, who sald some days ago that his government would act promptly in the matter, Secretary Bayard said impressively that he considered the Cutting affair of the greatest importanee, and one as to which the whole country,with- out reference to party, should be a unit. The personal merits or demerits of Cutting him- self had nothing to do with the matter. It made no difference whether he was an angel ss or an angel of light: but it did ble difference to the American her the contention raised by the ment in his ease should be main- )t Mexico elaims the right to try erics for an offense commif- ted in the United States, and Cutting actual- Iy has been convicted and sentenced for pub- lishing a libel in Texas. Mr. Bayard thinks this raises the graves possible question, and if Mexico's claim | once conceded no American traveling in Mexico can be safe, “My countrymen,” he sald, with evident feeling, *will ~ not be ' deceived by partisan s representation, They will recognize the gravity of the question involved, and will never consent thatone of their fellow- citizens shall be tried by a foreign power for an offence committed in this country. Had Cutting stabbed his Mexican rival in Texas instead of merely attacking his reputation, does any one pretend that Mexico could have Jed hiin for murder? Certainly not,” The seeretary said that he had” no idea of retreating from the position taken weeks ago, when he demanded Cutting’s release. Sceretary Bayard says that_no ultimatuin has been “sent to Mexico. The only arny order made in conneetion with the American troubles came from the west last night, say- ing that local tsoops had been sent to disarm revolutionists who had crossed into Texas, _ teers for the Frontier.

Trinl of Two Members of the Assocla- tion For Riot, Brussene, August 9.—New York Herald | Cable—Special.to the Bee.|—The trial of the eighteen men accused of burning and de- stroying the fmmense Baudoux glassworks near Charlerol, will probably end to-night or tomorrow, after cleven days hearing, during which over one hundred and forty witnesses and ten barristers have been heard for ¢ against the pris Many witnesses serted that the Charleroi strikes and outrs were instigated by EMISSARIES FROM ABROAD. Baudoux, himself, ieard as a_ witness, in- sinuated in the following terms that the in- stigation caine from other glass manufactur- ers in Belginn: “The acc Osear Fal- leur, who was formerly in my employ, and who, in the ity of seeretary of the Un- ion Verriere (or Glassworkers' assoeiation), came several times to ask wie to ra‘se the salaries of my workmen. He told me he could easily induce them to strike and said he could obtain plenty of money to support the strikers because all my rival glass man- ufacturers would benefit by a strike in my establishment.” Despite that and other tes- timony the total sum of the evidence does not show whether, as insinuated in the in- dictment, Oscar Falleur and the Union Veriere were really in close communication with the % AMERICAN KNIC or other foreign organizations, One glass- worker stated concerning Falleur that he ss, honest and intelligent work- man, a_peacemaker more than a mischief maker between the other workmen and tiie masters. It having been shown that the prisoners, Falleur and Schmidt, headed on March 20 a crowd singing the “Marseillaise,” Barrister Lyon exclaimed, “That proves nothing. The ‘Marselilaise’ engenders heroes not rascals.”’ The evidence shows that the whole affair planned before hand, many rioters having been overheard saying, “Let us zo to Baudoux jwhere we shall not leave onebrick standing.

The English Grain Market. LoxNDoN, August 6.—The Mark Lane Ex- press, in its review of the British grain trade during the past weelk, says: The weather has been unfavorable for wheats. T steady and the sales ot English wheat during the past woek were 41,173 quarters at 31s 8d, against 88,070 quarters at 83s 6d during the corresponding period last year. Oats are rather dearer. Barleys are in favor of sellers. ‘The foreign wheat trade is devoid of feature. Corn Is slow of sale; mixed American on the arce and 6d dearer. Five cargoes of it have arrived. Four were sold, Includ- ing one of Californian, at and one of Oregon at 83s 6d. One cargo remained, Trade forward suffers from apathy. The market to-dag was quiet. There was only a very small supply o Enghsh wheats which sold at fully the [ate rate: nelish flour was steady and not in favor of the buyers. There was an excessive supply of foreign, and the market for it was depressed. American mixed corn is very scarce and brings the ship, Oats were steady, and barley "ln" but quiet.

Yonk, Nem, Augzust 9.—[Special Tele ram to th Our little city has been ken with excitement over a sensation which developed last week, wherein Elder Burton, of the Christian chureh, was the topic of eriticism. An article appeared in the BrE of August 5, and also one in the York Democrat, of the same date, charging the good elder with immoraleonduet with a num- ber of ladies of his congreeation : also stating. that he had been expelled from the pastorate of the church, A chureh trial was had, pre- sided over by Elder Borrow, of Tecumseh, which developed the fact that he had not been expelled as previously reported. The fact of his expulsion was stated to the Bel man and aiso to the publishers of the Deno- ocrat by members of the chureh, who it seems were mistaken as to the final action. The trial was held on Saturday night and lasted until 2 o'clock the next morning, when Mr. Burton acknowledged the specifie charges in the complaint arainst him, and upon manifesting sincere repent- ance, was remstated In the ehurch after a stormy se: He emvloyed Scott & Gilbert as attorneys to bring_ suit against Woodruff and Corcoron, pubiishers of the Democrat, and also against the Ber. He de- manded a retraction of the whole matter and threatened a suit for eriminal libel if the Democrat was not forthcoming with a denial ot the whole article. This the publishers would not accede to and the good brother stood convicted on his own acknowledge- ment. He has finally dropped the threatened suit and is uttering dire venzeance on the heads of the defenseless moulders of publie obinion. Elder Barrows Explains, Yorxk, Neb., August 9.—|Special to the BEE. ]—The report of a church seandal sent you from this city and published August 5, involving the reputation of T. J. Burton pastor of the Christian church, was prema- ture and almost wholly incorrect. At this date Elder Burton has not been suspended from the ministry, or excluded from the church. Certain injurious rumors put afloat by some one led to the appointment of investi- gating committees, and finally to a formal and exhaustive trial, in which the writer par- ticipated, and Elder Burton was exonorated after making certain acknowledgments of thoughtless conduct, of which he holds proof in a statement signed by the officers of the church, The most careful and protracted re- search by a competent committee resulted in three charges against the elder: 1. Squeez ing the hand of a lady while riding a year and a half azo, 2. Lean his head upon the shoulder of another lady while riding in a crowded vehicle two ycars ago. 3. Putting his arm around a third lady in a crowd near the door of the church, eighteen months ago! This is the “mouse’ a rigid in- vestigation brings forth from the “moun- tain” of scandal published in your columns. Nocriminal intent was charged—only im- prudence, or carelessness, which was ackowl- edged on the part of the elder—although he claims to be unable to recall these acts, after 80 Iun'z a time, Elder Burton has been lifteen pears In the mhuslry. without & stain upon \is character. R. C. BARROW, State Evangelist. York Votes Against Waterworks. Yongk, Neb,, August 9.—(Special Telegram to the H —A special election was held to day to vote 30,000 in bonds for a system of waterworks, At the election last April the question was submitted and carried by a majority of seven votes. ‘The contract for putting in the work was let to W. J. Cooper, of Lincoln, who has a greater part of the work ready for delivery. The bonds of the of the city were issued and sold ata premium of over §700, but when sent to the state audi- tor of public accounts, that oflicial refused to register them on the ground that the city had failed to pass an ordinance calling the election, The auditor was backed by an opinion of Attorney-General Lecse tothe effect that a proclamation issued by a mayor of a city of the second class is not sufficient to call for a vote on a guestion of voting bonds, and that in all cases the eity eouncil must first pass an ordinance, This opinion rendered our bonds invalid, and necessitated the calling of the special election to-day. The election was a bitterly contested one in both wards of the ity and resulted in the defeat of the water works h}' @ major- ity of eleven, the vote being 913 and 224 agal Afnew complication will arise from the uuu(‘w-uursmmimn.

CitreAGo, August 9.—The ramor had been current that Spies would take the stand and served to attract the largest crowd that has thus far visited Judge Gary's court, Out of doors the crowd was as large as in the court room. Women in twos and threes were there with escorts, but there was no room for them and they were turned away. All the windows in the court room were hermeti- cally sealed: the doors were tightly crowded and the atmosphere was as torrid as the neizhborhood of a blast furnace. *We'll proceed, gentlemen,” said the court to coun- sel for the defense. The anarchists’ counsel were holding a close consultation : their heads rested together over the table and they whis- peredlong and earnestly. Finally tiey re- tired to diseuss some important matter, quarter of an_hour _elapsed. Then counsel for the defense returned and defendant Sehwab was put upon the stand. Sehwab testified he left home the evening of May 4 at 7:403 he looked at @ clock before departing from the house, and 1s sure of the time. He then went to the Arbeiter itung. here a eommunication was received over the te hone requesting a speaker be sent to deering, Spies was the speaker wanted but he was at the Haymarket and Schwab hastened there to find him, but failea and saw his brother-in-law.

Spies then made what the prosecution claims is a fatal admission, fully ating their eclaim that the section secret caucus, and for an attack on aid he wrote the word W ares helter Zei- tung on May 4. 1lc said the night before he recelved the following letter: “Mr, Editor: Please insert in to-day’s letter box the word ‘Ruhe’ in prominent e 2 He said he did not know port, but the next day Balthazar Rau s; was decided by the armed section to have tl word asa sign of warning that they should keep their powder dry to I;gmllflt the He told Rau that oolish and armed section that it was a mistake.
