Wasmxaron July 13.—|Special Telegram sk, |—That officers of the adminis- tration are exceedingly sore over the cri cisms upon the president’s flag order I evi- dent from the actions of someof them. Gen- eral Black, commissioner of pensions, will not allow the faintest word of criticisin from any of the employes under him and in one instance has taken such summary nction as will bring down upon him the wrath of the Grand Army people who have heretofore stood by him. Charles Behle, special pension examiner, stationed at Cincinnati, has been peremptorily dismissed by General Black's order. There is not the faintest word of re- proach to be heard against Behle's official ord. He is aditted on all sides to be an pxcellent officer. He isa German and was In the union army. General Black has de- clined to allow him IllY chance to ex- Klnhl his criticisms. t is said that is reported talk on the flag order was in a social gathering where some one present de- nounced the Grand Army of the Republic as a set of cranks. Belle being a Grand Army man, naturally took exception to this and rfirllnvsln the heat of discussion criticized he president’s action too freely. General Black to-day refused to give him'any reasons for s dismissal and the man is turned out of his position without any redress, unless Secretary Lamar revokes tho action of Gen- eral Black. ‘The commissioner of pensions has up to date studiously avoided defining his position upon the flag questi but his action in dismissing Behle shows that he is with the president just us every one sup- osed he was, though there was no evidence efore of the fact.

That board has finished its labors for the present and submitted the revision to the secretary of war, but it is under- stood that nothing was done to change the present parades and ceremonies ap- pointed for Sunday. 1n some instances ¢ manding ers have dispensed with Sun- day parades on their own motion, but this action was 1n violation of the regulations, General Sheridan, to whom attention in the matter has been directed. has decided that the discretion accorded to post commanders by the army reculations dispensing with dress parades only authorizes their omission where the weather is too Inclement or the coudition of the service such that parade is impracticable.

One of Washington’s Oldest Oitizen's Fatally Stabbed By a Laborer. WASHINGTON, July 13,-~The most sensa- tional murder in Washington since the assassination of President Garfield was com- mitted thisevening opposite the northeastern corner of the treasury building. Joseph C. Kennedy, an attorney and real estate agent, one of the oldest residents In Washington, a personal acquaintance of many of the most prominent people in the national capital, was murdered in cold blood, apparently with- out provocation, by John Daily, a white laborer. A few minutes before 5 o'clock Kennedy left his office, crossed the street, where he mailed several letters, and started to take a car When within a few feet of the car Daily, who had been loitering around the corner several hours, walked up behind him, drawing a large keen bladed knife similar to those used by butch- ers for killing hogs, ran it Into Kennedy's right side near the abdomen with a vicious lunge, and then gave iva jerk sidewise. A large crowd was on the corner at the time, but all were so horror stricken for a moment that nobody moved. Kenuedy fell to the ground after giving a cry of ‘“‘murder,”’ groaned deeply, and pointed to the murderer, who made no attempt to escape. ‘The knife dropped out of Kenuedy’s side as o [ysician cue up. A watoliman seized daily, who stood looking on, apparently the most unconcerned, self-poised man in the crowd, Kennedy expired in_five wminutes. Daily paid little attention and refused to say why he committed the crime, He is a man about tifty years of age and apparently a working ‘man. At the station house he told a rambling, incoherent story about the affair, the general purport of which wus that Ken- nady had wronged his rather years ago and re. i to make restitution. "The murdered man was abou @ years old, of an nd 1 one of the most respected citizens in Wshinston. Double Tragedy in Colorado, Lyons, Colo., July 13.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.|—A tragedy occurred at the ranch of Jacob Doloff yesterday, resulting in the shooting and instant death of Doloff and the suicide of William Dycer, his mur- derer. It appears that the two had some dis- pute over the ownership of a lumber claim upon which Doloft had marde some improyes ments, among some of which was a barn. Both men met at the barn a day or two ago, and as both elaimed the property Dycer for- bade Doloff oceupying itor the claim, and yesterday about noon a man in the employ of Doloff went to the barn to put in a horse and found the barn door nailed. He notified Doloff of the situation. who came with an axe and commenced prying the door open. Dycer appeared with a repeating ritle and said to Dolall': **If you open that door T will shoot you.” Dolaff continued s efforts to open the door, when Dycer raised the zun and tired, the ball striking Doloff in the arm. Dycer again l‘ulivltly tired and shot Doloff in thé re- of the hieart, He turned to Dyeer and ou have fixed me now; you have killed me,” and expired. Dycer, uttering an l{n(‘ulr\flnn of fright, turned the gun towards his own and fired, the ball failing to do 1ts worl There being no more cartridzes in the AZ he n vously loaded the magazine and fired again, the ball passing through the crown of his hat. The desperate man again attemoted self-de- struction, and succeeded in blowing of the entire top of his head with another shot, The men are prominent farmers and had always been the best of friends, e CENSURING THE RING. What the Honolulu Papers Say About Kalakua and His Ministry. SAN Fraxcisco, July 13.—Tha Australia arrived this morning from Honolulu, having sailed thence July 5, No further outbreaks or demonstrations of any character occurred after those described as having taken place on Friday and Saturday, June 30 and July 1, which resulted in the overthrow of the Gib- son ministry and the obtaining of agwritten pledge from King Kalakua to proufote con- stitutional reforms ana to submit to the will of the people. The new constitution was to be laid before the king on the day the steamer sailed. Ex-Premier Gibson and his son-in- law, F. W, Hayselden, were held in jail until the night of July 2, when Gibson was allowed to remove to his house, where he remained under military guard, 1lis trial was set for July 6. The excitement had so far subsided ly 4 that the celebration of the Amer- ican national holiday was handsomely ob- served, ‘Three Honolulu papers, in comments upon the change of administration, predict that ne further public outbreaks are to be ex- pected provided the new constitution is adopted and reforns inaugurated. The Hawali Gazette of July 5, in an editorial, says: ‘“Lhe word of the king cannot be luflun by the people. It has been proved time and again that it is not worth the paper it is written on. In fact, we remember the cir- cumstances so well we are not going to be deceived again.” In reviewing the occurrence of June 80, it seems the king was at tirst strongly inclined to resist the demands of the people, but changed his mind when he found his palace deserted by all his soldiers and retainers. Even after acquiescing in all the demands he appeared to think his life in danger. This caused him to ask the American and other foreign representatives to assume control of affairs temvorarily, ‘The Daily Builetin declares that the new mibistry has found that in adaition to its regular revenue all postal savings and bank deposits have disappeared and loan funds have been used to fill the gap in the revenues, ‘The Bulletin says: *The treasury is empty and there is no balance of the last’loan remii- purpose. The gov- ved in two Installments from London $204,000, but it is paying inter- est upou a million dollars, while the manipu- lators of the loan have been haundling the balance without reference to the provisions of the loan act.

Oriminal Trials of Irish Tenants For Pro tecting Their Homes. THE JURY FAILS TO CONVICT Pranzini Pronounced Guilty of the Murder of Marie Kegnault, But the Prisoner Strongly Proe tests That He is Innocent Failed of Convietion. LCopyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNDoy, July 13, —[New York Herald Ca- ble—Speeial to the B —Full reports of the first criminal trials yesterday under the eviction resistance with scalding water have just reached here from Limerick. Jus- tice Johnson presided at the assizes.” It seews that on the estate of the Earl of Devon the sheriff, thirty constables and eight bail- iffs, with no soldiers, have evicted a tenant named Hallinan. ‘Chere had been the usual barricade of trees, timber and rocks. Six men and three women, part the family of the tenant and part neighbors, were the re- sistants and were indicted. Evidence was wiven by the bailiffs perfectly fixing the identities as to whom of the accused had thrown boiling water, scalding porridge and used pitehforks through oritices made by the besiezing balliffs, It was distinctly shown thatone of the prisoners had thrust witha red hot iron bar, burning an emergency man. Local solicitors appeared for the accused, watching the case, but no barrister. Not a bit ot evidence for the detense was addnced and no address was made for it. Justice Johnson summed up pointedly against the accused, but atter some hours’ deliberation, & majority of the jurors favor- ing acquittal, he discharged the jury on dis- agreement, roundly scolding the unknown dissentlents. Next he tried five men for riotous conduct atanother eyiction on the same estate. Here some witness did testity against the police, charging barbarity. In a short time the Jury acquitted the men amid the cheers of the spectators. The Irish members this morning were ar- raigned by the Daily News, liberal paper, for temporarily defeating last night's bill, akin to the New York measure permittin not compelling, the accused to testify in his own behalf. But oune Irish member assured me to-day that the Parnellites know that the bill was intended for allowing tory prosecu- tors to use towards the Irish accused in coer- cion arraignments similar tactics now being pursued in the Pranzinl trial by the judge in badgering an accused, and it is best to leave his mouth sealed. PRANZINL FOUND GUILTY. Trial Ends With a Verdict Against the Accused. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bonnett.} Panis, July 13.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bge.|—The Pran- zini trial came to an end at half past 6 this afternoon in the presence of a most dazzling boquet of Parisian mondaines, artists and and demi-mondaines. Among those sitting near me [ noticed the Comptesse de Bour- bon, Duchesse Fitzjames, Mlles Rosita, Mauri and Bevls, danzuses from the opera, sitting right behind Rochfort and Clemen- ceau, Jeanne Gramer sat looking at the trial ealing chicken sandwiches, and now and then refreshing herself from a delicate little silver flask. Pranzini stood cool but pale, listening to every word uttered by his counsel, De- Mange, who is considered at Barone the most accomplished rhetorician since Lach, and ended his speech with the words: *Pran- zini demandes la vie avee toutes ses jouis- sances, la vie avec les femmes, la vie avec le jeu.” Pranzinl stretched out his lett tarm and with a stentorian voice shouted: “‘Give me death or give me liberty. I am 1nnocent.” The jury, after an hour and three-qua deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty as to the wurder of Marie Regnauld and her servant, but that the killing of the little girl was without premeditation, ‘The president then sald: “Pranzini, have you anything to say?” Pranzini (with dry, clenched teeth) —**None.” Then the judge pronounced the death sen- tence. The ladies cried **'Oh, oh1” and fainted away amidst tremendous tumult. Pranzini motioned with his hand as If he wanted to speak. A dead silence ensued and Pranzini muttered: “I swear to God I am innocent,” PARISIANS CELEBRATING. Crowds Shouting For Boulanger— Germans Warned. PARIS, July 13.—German residents in this city have been ordered to remain indoors to- morrow, as it is feared they would be at- tacked if they appeared on the streets during the celebration of the anniversary of the fall of the bastile, The Patriotic leagus have announced that they will make a demonstra- tion to-morrow morning in Place de la Con- corde, and another in Bois de Boulogne in the afternoon. It is feared these meetings will give rise to disorder, and the police and military authorities are making extra pre- cautions to maintain the peace. ‘Thecity is full of rumors about steps taken by the authorities to suppress the Boulanger demonstration to-morrow. The temper ot the people appears less sulien, but they seem determined to show their love for Boulanger and their hatred for those who removed him from the war oflice, Mip —Tne Boulanger demonstration has already begun. Thousands —are following ~ through the main streets a couple of vans and a few carriages containing a band playing the *Marsellaise” and the Boulanger mareh, “En Revenant de la Revule,” the crowd joining in the chorus and lustily shouting “Vive Boulanger, il reviendra, demission,” ete, The people a pear generally good tempered, but hostile demonstrations are made against the houses not decorated.

American Police Regulations Favor- ably Spoken of in England [Copuriyht 1587 by James Gordon Bennet',] LoxpoN, July 13.—|New York Herald Cabls peciai to the Bee.|—The Evening News, commenting favorably upon the ca- bled statement that the Brooklyn authorities bad appointed police matrons, says: *This is a yankee notion which mey be not unworthy of consideration. Had a sensible, kindly matron, instead of a stolid, automaton-like inspector been on duty on a certain occasion recently, the Cuss girl case great scandal and. great wrong might have been obviated." 1t secwus tlat her friends will lostitute libel sult against Lord Bramwell for the letter he sent the Times, shielding his friend, Police Magistrate Newton, and reflecting on her.

International Arbitration, LONDON, July 13.—SIr Wilfred Lawson presided to-day over the meeting of the inter- pational arbitration association. The secre- tary’s rej,ort referred at length to the co-op- eration of similar associations in America, expressed the hope for the formation of a Jjoint commission to consider the advisability of creating an Anglo;American arbitration association. David Duadley Field, in moving the approval of a paquu to parliament in favor of the creationof such a tribunal as that proposed, expressed hearty sympathy withthe cause, Americans were, he said, out of conceit with war. They had had enough of it. Although England paid dearly for the Geneva arbitration, the result brought more honor to England than the greatest mil- itary victory that could be secured. There were, Field admitted, immense obstacles op- posed to the principles of arbitration, but wherever the members of the association saw a chance for education of public opinion on the question, whenever they saw a chance of applying the principle of arbitration, they should unceasingly work for the cause. ———— Narrow Escape For Royalty. f.ornox, July 13.—The crown prince and crown princess ot Germany have arrived at the Isle of Wright in their yacht.

Fowell then madet dress of welcome, to which the president responded as follows: *‘L'am by no means certain of my standing here among thosa who celebrate the centen- nial of Clinton’s existence as a village. My recollections of the place reach backward but about thirty-six years; mz residence Lere covered a very brief period, but those recol- lections are fresh and distinct to-day, and pleasant, too, although not entirely free from sowmbre colorings. It was here in school at the foot of College Ml that I began my preparations for college life and un?oyed the anticipation of a collegiate edu- cation, I read a little Latin with two other boys in the class. I think I floundered through the four books of the Kneid. My strugele with ten lines ot Virzil which at first made up my daily task are amusing a8 remembered now, I'am also forced to remember that instead of bein, l}lebfl,llulflm( ot higher edueation, for which I honestly longed, they occurred near the end of my school advantages. This sug- gests xll«nppumlmeut which no lapse of time can alleviate and a deprivation I have sadly felt with every passing year.” The president then recalled faces still fa- miliar to bis memory and continued: I know you will bear with me, my friends, if 1 yield to an impulse which mention of nome creates, and speaking of my own home here and how through the memories ‘which claster about It, { may claim_tender relationship to your village. Here was that our family clrcle entire—parents and chil- dren—Ilivéd day after day in loving and affec- tionate converse, and here, for the last time, we met afoupd the family altar and thanked God that our household was unbroken by death or separation. We never met together in -g{v other home after this ahd death fol- Lowd closely ~ our derumm. And thus it hat ~ with advancing ears A suryey the havoo death has mnade, the huu&( ts of my early home become more and mord sacred, and the remembrance of this pleasant spot so related s revived and chas- ened. I can only add my thanks for the privilege ot belng with you to-day, and wish lor the village of Clinton 1n the future a con- tinuation and increase of the blessings of the past, At the banquet this evening, In response to the toast, ““I'he President of tie United Btates,” Cleveland spoko as follows: “1 am inclined to content myself on this oceasion with an acknowledgment on behalf of (heén'nhle of the United States of the complithent which you have paid to the of- fice which represents their sovereignty. But such an acknowledgment suggests an idea which I cannog refrain from awelling upon tor a moment. That the oftice of president of the United States does represent the sovereignty of 60,000,000 of people is to my mind a statement full of solemnity, for this sovereignty I conceive to bo the working act, or enforcement of the divine gift of man to govern himself and a manifestation of God's plan concerning the human race, Though tne struzgle of potitical par- ties to secure the incumbency of this oftice and the questionable methods sometimes re- sorted to for its possession may not be in keeping with this idea, and though the deceit practiced to mislead |\|'npla in their choice, and its too frequent intluence on their suff- rage, may surprise us, these things should never lead us astray in our estimate of this exalted position and its value and dignity. Though your fellow-citizens who may be chosen to perform for a time the duties of this highest place should be badly selected, and though the best attainable results may not be reached by his administration, yet the exact _watchfulness of the eople, freed from the disturbing Purmoll of political excitement, ought to pre- vent mischance to an oflice which represents their sovereignty and should reduce toa minimum the danger of haru to the state. 1 by no means underestimate the importance a¥me utmost care and circumspection in the selection of an incumbent. On the col‘llfl!rr, I believe there is no obligation of citizenship that demands nore thought and coosiderate deliberation than_ this. But 1 am speaking of the citizens duty to the oftice and its se- lected incumbent. ‘Tnhis duty is only per- tormed when in the interest of the entire people the full exercise of the powers of = the chief magistrate is insisted on, and when for the people’s safety, due regard for the limitations placed upon the office is exacted. These things should be enforced by the manifestation of a calm and enlightened public opinion. But this should not be simulated by the mad clamor of dluup‘miult'il interest, which, with- out regard for the general good or allowance for the exercise ot “official judyment, would degrade the oftice by forcing compliance to seltish demands. [t vour president should not be of the people and one of your fellow citizens, he would be utterly unfit tor the po- sition, incapable of understanding the peo- le's wants, careless of their desires. That he s one of the people implies that heis subject to human frailty and error, but he should be permitted to'claim but little toleration for mistakes, I'he generosity of his fellow- citizens should decree how for good inten- tions should excuse his shortcomings, Watch well, then, this high oftice, the most ssesslon of American citizenship; d for it the most complete devotion on rt of him to whose custody it may be entrusted. ‘Thus will you pertora the sacred duty to yourselves and to those who may follow you in the enjoyment of the freest instititutions which Lieaven has ever voueh- safed to man.” Syracuse, N. Y., July 13.—President Cleveland will be the guest of Secretary Fair- child, at Cazenovia, on Monday next. * Tues- worning he will drive over to Fayetteville, wvihere he will_spend a day with his slster, Mrs. Hoyt.

K. Choate, superintendent of the Colorado division of the Uunion Pa- cifie, testitied that he had talked last winter with almost all the members of the legis- lature who were hostile to gailroads. He tried toascertain their grievances and remove the cause of hostility. He had given passes, but emphatically denied the use of money. Robert 1. Butteridge, secretary of the Marshall coal company, testitied that the Union Pactiic had paid his company $32,000 In rebate since November, 1885, This was in consideration of the withdrawal by the coal company of a suit against the railroad. United States Senator Henry M. Teller, addressing the commission, said N. I Hill had openly charged that the railroad company had put up money to seeure his (Teiler's) election, "This was & serious charge, but as its nature was similar to the case of Senator Payne, he could not bring it before the sen- ate. Hill had not charged that he (Teller) had knowledge that the money was used. He thought Hill shoald be required by the com- missioners to name the —witnesses upon whom hie relied to vrove thecharges, or admnit that they were without foundation,' le also thought the commission should summon the men who handle the money of the Union Pacitic and other roads in Colorado and require them to testify to any connection by them with the senatorial contests and their account should be examined. ‘The commissioners said they had exam- fned three, but the others were not to be found at present. oy THE EDUCATORS.

Mar- tin, of Kansas, has written a long letter to Willinm Henry Smith, gereral manager of the Assoclated press, denying in detail the statements made in a special disvateh to a Chicago paper, wherein it stated in sub- stance that the closing of the saloons in Atchison, Kan., had cut off the most profita- ble source of revenue, and as a resuit the po- lice and tire departments had been suspended and the gas and electric lights wers to be shut off. Governor Martin says this dis- l‘m\ch was promuted by two motives: first, for the purpose of injury by a rival city (it being sent from St. Joseph, Mo.), and second, it was inspired by the whisky in- terest, which hoped thus to deal a serious blow to the temperance cause; and adds: “There is In point of fact no truth in the statements made.” ‘The governor speaks in enthusiastic terms of the success of prohibi- tion and says that he doubts whether of the 300,000 voters in the state 75,000 would,if they could, invite back aund reinstate these saloons. ompro- l Breckin- no basis for ——— The Labor Political Movement.
