The presi- dent has not yet himself decided. Mrs, Bissell, wife of the postmaster general, will, derstoud, make the jour with Clovelaud.

Blount Has Not Resly ‘Wasninaroy, June 10.—No credence in political circles is given to the dispaich from the City of Mexico that Mr. Blount has re- signed his new position as minister, instead of commissioner, to Hawaii. It is posi tively said that Mr. Blount's place 1s not re- garded as vacant, and consequently has not been tendered to any one. FORD THEATER INQUEST. Witne vo Damaging Testimony Againse Thoso in Charge of Alterations, Wasimixaros, June 16.—In the continued inquest on the victims of the Ford's theater disaster today T. C. Entwistle, the buiiding iaspector of tho district, testified that the mortar used in the alterations was bad and. the brick work tly done. If he had had any authority to prevent it he would not have permitted the work to be done in the it was, for there was too much risk. Architect Clark of the capitol testified that the weight on the floor was consider- ble less than the safety limit. The re- mainder of the evidence at the morning scs- sion was comparatively unimportant. Mr, Sasse, the enginecr of the theater building, who testificd yesterday, was res called at the afternoon session and asked to produce the plans which he drew for the electric lighting plant. This he did, with explanations, August Davis, a builder, and an unsuccess- ful bidder for the electric lighting plant work, d he thought the plans for the work were such that no man could form trom them an intelligent idea as to what was wanted, He had told Captain Thorpe, chief of tho supply division of the War depart- ment, that the work was dangerous. Noth- as contained in the specification that provided for supporting the upper floors dur- ing the excavating work. In his opinion no reasonably intelligent would haveattempted to do the work without shoring. He said he had told Contractor Simms, before Cap- tain Thorpe, thaf if the contract were let to some d—n fool he might pull down the building. William Covert, superintendent of the old theater building, was next called. He testi- fied that Colonel Ainsworth had cautioned him particularly not to give any instructions to the contractor, but to go down in the cellar as much as possible, and if he saw anything wrong, in his opinion, that was caleulated to endanger the building to notify him (Colonel Ainsworth) immediately. The witness did not know whether shoring was necessary or not. As Colonel Ainsworth ob- served the work himself, he aid not make any report on it to him. After James H. McGill, an architect, had testified that any man in his right senses would not have done such work beneath the theater building without shoring competent draughtsman should have drawn the plans, and that an expert should have superintended the work, according to cus- tom, the jury adjourned until tomorrow, when it is expected the inquiry will be con- cluded. Contractor Dant, who was doing the work which resulted in tne collapse of the build i s in a serious condition, and it is fear t his mind is affccted by the disaster. He s a very sick man. Among the victims of the disaster was the son of John A. 1) an ex-soldier from Peunsylvania, employed as a watchman in the Interior department, Mr. Daly was di reed some days ago, but when Secretary E learned that young Daly had been kiiled in the theater wreck, that the family might suffer by reason of the father’s dis- missal, he immediately ordered his re- instatement. VAGRANT DIANS, Two of BufMalo Bill's Nuisances of Themselves in Australia, WasHINGToN, June 16.—A unique diplo- matic question suggests itself by the news which reached the War department, to the effcet that the two Indians who escaped from Buffalo Bill's Wild West show two yeurs ago, while abroad, have turned up in Australin. They are[now at Sydnoy and are making such nuisances of themsclves that the authoritics would be glad if the United States would come after the ‘‘vagrants,” as they ave called in the dispateh urging their return to the United States. And right here the interesting diplomatic question comes in: To what extent is the United Stutes respol ble for these d ters? Can Australia rightfully demand that they be ent for and taken away by the United es? It is possible that Buffalo Bill may be called upon to puy expenses. His con- tract guaranteed the safe return of his band to Pine. Ridze. The desertion of Eagle Ll and American Bear, the two Indians in question, it is argied, does not relieve him of the responsibility for their return, now that their whereabouts is known. The In- terior department will communicate with him on the subject. Sioux Making MERCHANDISE AND BULLION, Exports and Imports of Both Commodi- tlos for the Past Year.

Early this morning most of the news still came from the city constituencies, and tho list of opposition deputics grew rapidiy. “This afternoon, however, dispatches from the agricultural districts revealed the other side of the page. From all that can now be ascertained, it 15 reasonably safe to conclude that the government certainly has lost nothing by the dissolution, end probably has won a little. Summary of the Returns, At 10 o'clock this evening the returns may be summarized thus: In the 180 districts from which reports had been received at 10 o'clock eighty-five deputies had been elected. In the remaming ninety-five new ballots will be nccessary. Of tho eighty-five deputies elected thirty-six will vote with the govern- ment; forty-nine against it. The partics siding with the government had lost three scats to the opposition; the parties working _ against tho govern- ment had evened matters by losing the same number of seats to the friends of the army bill. The conservatives had elected seven- teen deputies; the social democrats, twenty- three; the clericals, twenty; radical union- ists, one; free conservatives, four; Poles eight; democrats, five; anti-Semites, two; independents, two, both favorabie to the bill; government clericals, one; mnational liberals, two. Not one immediate supporter ot Eugene Richter, the anti-government rad- fcal, has been elected. The conservatives had won two seats formerly held by free conservatives. The social democrats had gamed three seats from Richerists and four from the conservatives. The Licber clericals had gained one rom the government clericals and had lost one to them. The radical uniomsts had elected one deputy who voted against the army bill, but will voto for it inthe next Reichstag. The free conservatives had gained two seats and lost three. Tho democrats had gained one seat from the national liberals. The national liberals hud lost threc scats and gained two. The most interesting foature in the new ballots reported until now wonld be probablo gaius for social democrats and radical unionists At 2 o'clock this morning returns have been received from 220 out of the 34T elec- toral districts. In ninety-cight candidates have been elected: in 122 second ballots will be necessary. The national liberals. con- servatives and clericals are holding their own. The iichter radicals remain very far behind. Of the ninety-cight deputies al- ready elected forty-two are counted for the bill ‘and fifty-six against it. Since the re- ports received up to 1 o'clock were sent out the dispatches have shown that the govern- ment has gained two more new seats and has lost one more old one, small Election Glots. Several small election riots are reported today from the provinces. In Strashurg last evening shortly after the poll was an- nounced, 2,000 socidlists began parading the streets and shouting for their candidate August Bebel. They refused to disperse when the police attacked them and many cheered for France. The militia eventually broke up the procession aud arrested eight men, Nobody was injured. In" Reutlingen, Wurtemburg, the police arrested many social democrats who at- tacked the police station, In Gruenberg, Silesia, the socialists rioted throughout the streets. The police dispersed them with drawn swords and arrested the leaders, In this city the police arrested Herr Landauer, an anarchist editor, on the charge of incit- ing a riot. Berlin's Vote. The revised list of the Berlin poll shows that the radical vote fell from 000 to 52,820, while the social democratic vote in- creased from 126,817 to 1504977, The vote of the conservatives and anti-Semites increased from 34,008 to 48,135, Complete returns from the Second divis- ion of Munich show that George von Voll- mar, the victorious leader of the south Ger- man democrats, polled 15,250 votes. In Strasburg August Babel, social democrat, volted 6,200 votes, against 6,951 for Dr. Peuri, his national liberal opponent, In Glaucan, Ignaz Auer, social democrat polled 14,978 votes, *‘Cannon King” Krupp, in Essen, who will go through a new ballot with Herr Stoetzell, his slerical opponent, received 190,484 votes. Stoetzell received 190,447, Richter carried the district in 1890 on the first ballot. The necessity of anew ballot shows a n for the goverment. as the national hberal candidate, like all of his par ty, is iu favor of the army bill, dssen—New ballot necessary. “Cannon King” Krupp, national liveral, is but thirty- seven votes ahead of Gervard Stoetzell, Stoetzell, the last deputy for the city, won on the first ballot in 1890, Geslar—New ballot necessary betweon Herr Engels, free conservative, and Frei- herer von Minnigerode, Guelph, and against the bill, Minnigerode 'was the last deputy.
