The young ladies who resigned were Misses Marian Peck, Rose Mulhern and Georgie Skinner. Ata meeting of the maids of honor with their Queen and Queen Dowager, Mrs. J. P. Smith, this morning Miss Beatrice Boston, Miss Ethal- bert Marey and Miss Minnie Cape were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignation of the three young ladies. - The robe of the Queen is to be something grand. The costumes of the maids of ‘honor in the street pageant and open-air ‘exercises are to be six of yellow and six ‘of white silk, after tbe style of the days of Marie Antoinette. The young gentlemen -escorts to the Queen and maids of honor will be attired in appropriate costumes of black and silver. The Justices of the Supreme Court have signified their intention of spending carni- val week in this city. Much interest is now centered in the dam, for on it depends partly one of the principal features of the carnival, the night fete on the river. Theadvice of old miners, civil engineers and others familiar with dam building has been sought. The con- glomeration of suggestions has been sifted down into practicable ideas, so that tHey. could be utilized, and the result will bea dam which will withstand the tide. Work on it is progressing with vigoer. From San Francisco 5000 more sacks have been ordered. These will be filled with sand ,and placed on the dam. In honor of the Half-million Club it has been decided to have a fireworks piece rep- resenting United California. The boxes and seats have been arranged in sections and a diagram made. Among / { of combinations are being formed to win, the first to purchase was Mrs. W. P. Fuller of San Francisco, who is occupying the Jarboe cottage. She purchased $92 worth of boxes and seats for herself and guests. Charles L. Fair has given $40 for a box. Ungquestionably the demand for seats will be large, so people have begun reserving them already. DELAYS THE OLYMPIA. The Court-Martial Changes Plans Re- garding the Santa Cruz Fete. SACRAMENTO, CaL., June 4.—At a late hour this afternoon Adjutant-General Bar- rett received a telegram from the naval authorities at Washington, stating that owing to certain unforeseen exigencies ich had arisen it would be impossible 0 place the United States vessel Olympia at the disposal of the naval battalion at as early a date as had been expected. Further inquiries on the subject have developed the fact that the important court-martial now in progress at the navy- yard requires the presence of Commodore Howison, Captain Reed and other officers. This court-martial will probably continue until the 15th of June, and if so will pre- vent the members of the naval battalion from participating in the fiesta ceremonies at Santa Cruz, and will prove a disappoint- ment to the carnival visitors present. Fully appreciating this fact, General Barrett has decided to use every endeavor in his power to procure the attendance of the vessel at Santa Cruz for atleast the last wwo days of the festival, and will in- stantly communicate with the naval au- thorities on the subject. The change in the date on which the vessel will be placed at the disposal of the National Guard is a complete surprise to the State authorities, as every arrangement had been perfected to have the Olympia drop down to San Francisco on Saturday next, receive the naval battalion and proceed immediately to Santa Cruz. VISALIA’S RII‘AI_) BELLES. Miss Ward’s Friends Again Advance Her to First Place. * VISALIA, CaL., June 4.—Miss Ward is again inthe lead for Goddess of Liberty. Her friends rallied to her support to-day and she got 515 votes.. There were no votes cast for the candidates who are down near the foot of the list, all the work being in the interest of the four leading contestants. Excitement is running high, and all sorts The friends of Miss Blake are votir steadily, aud she looks like a sure winner for one of the places. Miss Ward has the support of the military company, and alto- gether the fight is becoming very interest- ing. The vote at 7 o'clock this evening was as follows: Ward 4331, Stevens 3996, Blake 3017, Brown 2493, P WASHINGTON ODD FELLOWS. Annual Session of the Grand Lodge Opens at Tacoma. TACOMA, Wasn., June 4.—The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows assembled this morning in its seventeenth annual conven- tion, and will continue until Thursday evening. There were 173 delegates preient. The election of officers was held to-day with this result: Grand master, Jerry For- taine, Tacoma; deputy grand master, C. F. Williams, Seattle; grand warden, Judge Wallace, Mount Sprague; grand secretary, L. F, A. Shaw, Walla Walla; grand treas- urer, George W. Hall, Seattle; representa- tive to Sovereign Grand Lodge, O. C. ‘White, Olympia. This new term makes Treasurer Hall’s thirteenth and Secretary Shaw’s twelfth in succession. T0 G THREE BRAACHES The American Trust Company Cutting Off Union Pacific Feeders. Officials of the System Appear to Be Unable to Check the Scheme. OMAHA, Neer., June 4.—Unsatisfactory as it may be and against the hopes of those in interest, there is a growing feeling about the Union Pacific headquarters that the American Loan and Trust Company will, through a separate receiver, succeed to the control of the Oregon Short Line, Utah Northern and Southern Extension rail- roads, now a part of the Union Pacific. It bas been hoped that Judge Gilbert would so modify Judge Sanborn’s order in the premises that the representatives of the consolidated mortgage would hesitate about taking npon themselves so heavy a burden, but the modification was in the nature of strengthening the hands of the trustees of the consolidated mortgage and the hopes of those interested have gone down correspondingly as the trustees’ in- terests have risen. In view of this somewhat complicated condition of affairs all eyes are directed to- ward Salt Lake, where the final battle is o be fought before Judge Merrill of the Territorial court., Should he include the Southern Extension in the order of trans- fer it will put an additional obligation of at least $400,000, representing defaulted in- terest, upon the successor receiver, which will have to be paid in addition to the $1,750,000 as the other properties compos- ing the Short Line, as it is commoniy known. It is contended that in equity Judge Merrill can do nothing less than protect the first-mortgage interests, which are in his court, and to do this he will have to ask Mr. Egan, or whoever the re- ceiver is to be, to look after non-paying as well as paying properties. In addition to the amounts named, there will be $425,000 in interest due August 1, which will have to be raised in two months from the surplus earnings of the several companies included in the Short Line. It is conceded that the American Loan and Trust Company and those associated with it can raise $10,000,000 if necessary to carry out the expressed purpose of a separate receivership. The officials of the Union Pacific are worrying over the divorcement of the Short Line. ““Will the American Loan and Trust Company undertake so onerous a burden as it appears to be from close examination of the orders entered by Judge Gilbert of the Ninth United States Circuit and Judge Sanborn of the Eighth?’ is generally asked. Those in a position to know seem to be- lieve that the money will be forthcoming. —_— An Address by Ingails. LAWRENCE, Kaxs,, June 4—The Uni- versity chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity this morning to hear the address of ex-Senator Ingalls to the law school. He took a somewhat pessimistic view of «ffairs generally over the country and sug- gested the necessity for display of great wisdom in dealing with questions now agitating the public mind. e AT Fire in @ Grain Elevator. NEWARK, N. J., June4.—A fire in the grain elevator attached to the Ballentine Brewery to-day caused a loss of §250,000. HIDDEN CARSON GOLD. Vengeance of a Woman Leads to Its Re- covery. MISS STEWART’S EXPOSE. She Told the Mint Officials Where the Bullion Was Located. PICKLER IS TO BE ARRESTED. Fifteen Pounds of Crude Amalgam Found Burled In a Stable. CARSON, NEv., June 4.—Flora Stewart called at the United States mint this morn- ing and stated that William Pickler, em- ployed in the deposit department of the melter and refiner of the mint, had stolen mint bullion and buried itin the back yard. Bearch warrants were issued and an exam- ination of the premises brought to light about fifteen pounds of crude amalgam buried in the stable. John Ulrick, acting as the Constable’s deputy, unearthed it with a hoe. The accused man was present, and said the bullion had been sent from Idaho by his brother, L. A. Pickler, about six months ago, and there being so much ex- citement over stolen bullion he had feared to devosit it, preferring to hide it. The Stewart woman has been living with Pickler about fifteen years. Some years ago she adopted a child belonging to a friend who died in Carson. The boy was called Grover Cleveland Pickler. The couple had a row over the child recently and Pickler assaulted her. She swore out a warrant and he was arrested and fined and put under $100 bonds to keep the peace. She threatened to send him to prison, and the developments to-day show how well she is attempting to carry out the threat. Pickler was at once suspended by Super- intendent Adams. United States Attor- ney Jones was sent for and arrived to- night and proceeded to investigate. The bullion has the appearance of being de- positors’ bullion. Miss Stewart told the CaLL correspondent that Pickler had begun to bring in bullion in small pieces during Garrad’s adminis- tration, seven or eight years ago, and his brother took §$1000 worth away to San Francisco and sold it about three years ago. Pickler will be arrested in the morning. It is intimated also that there is more behind the matter than has been yet de- veloped, and that a fresh surprise is in store for Carson to-morrow. Pickler's friends insist that he can prove that he received the bullion from his brother; that the woman knew it, but used the incident to wreak vengeance, and that parties are behind her, using her as a tool to further complicate the present mint case. KILLED A SPORTING MAN., Attorney Lowt Knew How to Protect an Actress. SAVANNAH, Ga., June 4.—Philip H. Fitzpatrick, proprietor of the Gaiety Hall, and one of the best known sporting men in this vicinity, was shot and killed to-night by Charles Lowt, a prominent attorney of Mount Vernon, Montgomery County, son of Colonel P. H. Lowt of Augusta. Lowt came to Savannah a short time ago on legal business. He met Helen Stockton, a singer at the Gaiety, and showed her de- voted attention. Miss Stockton left the Gaiety and went to the Thunderbolt, where Lowt sent her horses, to ride with him. Fitzpatrick went to the Thunderbolt, determined to make the woman marry him. She refused and he was arrested for creating a disor- der. He was bailed out, and soon after kicked down the door of the room in which Lowt and Miss Stockton had taken refuge to avoid trouble with him. Lowt fired one shot over Fitzpatrick’s head, and then as Fitzpatrick struck at him fired two fatal shots into him. Lowt surrendered and was brought to Savannah and imprisoned. He is married and is well known throughout Eastern Georgia. i UPHOLDS TH. GOVERNOR, Decision of the Indiana Supreme Court in the Roby Affair. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., June 4.>The Supreme Court of Indiana this evening handed down what is regarded by many as one of the most important rulings ever submitted by it. It holds that when two years ago the State attempted to suppress the Roby prize-fight, applied for a receiver- ship for the property and when Governor Matthews sent troops to place the receiver in possession, all the proceedings were regular and in accordance with advanced jurisprudence, Attorney-General Ketcham will at once apply for a receiver for the property under the new decision, and if it shall be neces- sary to place him in possession of the Columbia Athletic Club of Roby troops will be used as before. Aol e HER MAIDEN PASSAGE. First Trip of the Liner St. Louis Across the Atlantic. NEW YORK, N. Y., June4.—The Amer- jcan Line steamship St. Louis will sail at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning on her maiden passage across the Atlantic. The carrying capacity will be taxed to the ut- most, as she takes over 350 cabin passen- gers, the full limit of her accommodations. A very convenient feature of the St. Louis is the fact that she can seat every cabin passenger in the spacious dining saloon at one time, 0 no one will be com- pelled to wait for a second table, which is usually ‘the case on most of the other liners. Mosia o Overriden by the Senate. BOSTON, Mass,, June 4.— Governor Greenhalge’s veto of the bill giving Union veterans of the late Civil War an absolute preference in State employment was to-day overridden by the Senate, the vote being 28t0 7. The Governor's objection to the bill was that it would seriously impair the efficiency of the civil service. ks LAt Lightning Burns a Schoolhouse. MUNCIE, Isp., June 4.—Lightning to- day struck the schoolhouse at Boll. There were sixty children in the house and it burned to the ground. A lady school- teacher had all her hair burned off, e Taylor Wants to Be Exeouted. TOPEKA, Kass,, June 4.—Governor Morrill received a letter from Taylor Cook, a life convict in the penitentiary, asking that his death warrant be signed and that he be executed, This probably is the only case of the kind on record. Cook was con* victed of wife murder in Osborne County six years ago and sentenced to be hanged. The death penalty in Kansas means im- prisonment for life, The Governor will in- vestigate Cook’s case. TAKEN IN COVERED WAGONS. Armed Sheepmen smuggled Into the Cattlemen’s Domawn. DENVER. Coro., June 4.—The News has the following dispatch by courier from Hahns Peak, Colo., written last night: Three days ago a body of armed men were carried to a sheep camp in California Park in covered freight wagons, presuma- bly to resist the expected attack by cattle- men. It is believed here that the sheepmen have decided to defy the injunction of the cattlemen by remaining and continuing to advance upon the cattle ranges. A steady encroachment has been noticed since the mass-meeting at Steamboat Springs, on May 19, and as the sheepmen have given out that they will go through Routt or call out the entire State militia, a conflict is looked for. The settlers around the peak are oiling up old guns that have lain idle since the Ute war of 1887. The town of Red Park, three miles from the peak, has become actively disturbed and has organ- ized a force to be sent to the rendezyous of the Haydon cavalry. Scouts leit Elk River, at the foot of Hahns Peak, this morning to investigate and report to the general committee upon the rumored invasion of Routt County by armed men from Wyoming. DEED OF A JEALOUS M, With a Razor He Slashes His Wife Over a Hundred Times. Then the Blood-Thirsty Wretch Is Caught in an Attempt to Commit Suicide. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., June 4.—A special to the Sentinel from Evansyille, Ind., says: For some months Valentine ‘Wissman has been jealous of his wife and has had frequent quarrels with her because of his jealousy of one Erwin. Last night her brothers spent the evening with them, and after they had gone he showed he was jealous of even them. e partially dis- robed and then went into the room where his wife was and told her he was going to kill her. He snatched her baby from her arms and dashed it to the floor. Then he got a razor. His wife ran out of the house, but was stopped by a high picket fence, and he caught her. He immediately began to slash her with a razor. He cut her throat three times, slashed her several times in the face and then began hacking at her bosom. He cut one of her breasts off and then tried to cut off a hand. He cut the leaders and severed the artery. In all he cut her in 121 places. Neighbors fright- ened him away and carried the woman in- doors and called surgeons, who finally stopped the flow of blood from her wounds. Wissman was captured this morning. He was discovered on a fence stark naked, except as 1o his shirt, which had been tied eround the neck, and to it he had tied a piece of wire that was fastened toa limb of atree. He wasin the act of jumping from the fence when taken. The wife and child will die. SHOTS IN A HOSPITAL An Irritable Dyspeptic Wounds a Fellow-Patient Ser- iously. Then the Nurse Enters Just in Time to Get the Last Bullet. CLEVELAND, Omro, June 4. — At 3 o’clock this afternoon Bernard Conner, a patient in St. Alexis Catholic Hospital, shot a fellow-patient, named Timothy Donavan, four times, sent a bullet through the leg of a nurse named James Cantillon and then tried to kill himself. Conner is suffering from dyspepsia and is very irritable. Donavan had worried him and he had threatened to kill Dona- van. This afternoon he sat up in bed, drew a revolver from beneath the bed- clothes and fired. One bullet struck Dona- van in the head, another broke his left arm, a third entered his shoulder and the fourth plowed a hole in the abdomen. Cantillon, the nurse, entered the room at that time and Conner fired the last bul- let at him. Then the fellow tried to beat out his own brains with the pistol. Dona- van is still alive, but cannot recover. ———— CONDITION OF THE CROPS. Eastern Corn 1s AIl Right, but the Wheat Is Short. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—The ‘Weather Bureau in its report of crop con- ditions for the week ended June 1says: The warm weather has been beneficial to corn and it is coming up and doing well, Reports from the Southern States indicate thatcorn in that section is in excellent condition. In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and South- ern Illinois corn will be greatly benefited by rain. In Nebraska the corn crop has grown well during the week and is in ex- cellent condition. ‘Winter wheat is in less promising condi- tion in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Mis- souri, and rust is appearing in illinois. It is nearly ready to harvest in Kansas, and is heading in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Tobacco is growing nicely in the Caro- linas, and planting is progressing favor- OLNEY WILL GET IT, To Be Promoted to t e Vacancy in the | Cabinet. | | | | | DELAY IN THE SELECTION Cleveland Seeking a Man to Succeed the Attorney- General. ! SOLICITOR CONRAD'S CHANCE. Then Assistant Secretary Uhl May Become the Virginian’s Suc- I cessor. i | WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—There | is no longer any reasonable doubt that the President has fully determined to ask At- torney-General Olney to accept the State Department portfolio. The President has not intimated to Olney his purpose. To | other members of the Cabinet, however, he has stated in substance that he should ask Olney to accept the place. He is delaying the public announcement in order that he might at the same time name a successor | to Olney as Attorney-General. | Cabinet officers after the meeting to-day stated that no appointment has yet been made to fill the vacancy. Senator Gray of | Delaware came over from Wilmington to- | day and went directly to the White House. | Tt was thought his visit had some connec- | tion with the vacant Cabinet office. Gray | was the most earnest champion of the administration in the Senate, and as a member of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations has become familiar with the duties of Secretary of Statt Senator Gray’s visit to the White House was undoubtedly in response to 2 telegram from the President, who, it is believed, would not hesitate to offer Mr. Gray a place in his Cabinet were it not for the fact that his retirement from the Senate would almost certainly result in the election of a Republican successor. It is thought that up to this time the President has not definitely decided upon Mr. Olney’s successor. A long list of names is being discussed, but everything in that connection is purely speculative. Ex-Postmaster-General Don M. Dickin- son, it is said, would be very likely of appointment if he would accept. A possi- bility is B. Holmes Conrad of Virginia, the present Solicitor-General. He has the reputation of being a man of brilliant legal attainments, and en- joys the high regard of the members of the Supreme Court. The fact that Mr. Conrad comes from Virginia, Lowever, may operate against his appoint- ment, but in case he is selected it is be- lieved that Mr. Uhl, the present Assistant Secretary of State, would be a candidate for the vacant solicitor-generalship. Mr. Uhl was a candidate for this place at the | time Mr. Maxwell was appointed, and it is believed a change from the Department of State to that of Justice would be most agreeable to him. Richard Olney, who is now in all proba- bility to be advanced to the first place in President Cleveland’s Cabinet, has' won this distinction by the able service he has thus far rendered the President on all the more important questions that have en- gaged public attention since the present administration began. During the great strike at Chicago his services were partic- ulary notable. He developed each step that the Government anthorities took, and President Cleveland was so fully convinced of the wisdom of the proposed policy that he gave it thorough support and execu- tion. In this question Mr. Olney was im- pelled by a desire to suppress disorder. He had shown in another case his sincere respect for the rights of labor. This was in a case of the Reading Railroad which sought to compel one of its employes to either sever his connection with a railway men’s beneficial organiza- tion or leaye the company’s service. Al- though the Government had no direct interest in the case Mr. Olney secured the permission of the court to present a brief on behalf of the employe, in which he held that the proposed action of the company was against justice and right. The brief was marked by a vigorous defense of the right}of labor to organizein any wayit saw fit for advancing its interests so long as the means were peaceful and within the law. The new Secretary of State comes from sturdy Puritan stock. His ancestor, Thomas Olney, came from England and settled at Salem, Mass.,, in 1735. The father of Richard Olney owned the cotton- mills at Roxford ana also engaged in bank- ing. His mother was a Sigourney, a de- scendant from French Huguenots who fled from France to this country. The new Becretary graduated from Brown Univer- sity in 1856, and from the Harvard law school in 1858. He married Agnes, daugh- ter of Judge Benjamin F. Thomas, with whom he studied law. They have lived of late years at Boston, with summer resi- dences near Buzzards Bay and Gray Gables. Mr. Olney is a man of medium height and robust form and in general appear- ance he conveys the impression of intense vitality and physical endurance beyond that of any man who has occupied the position of Secretary of State in recent years. He has served one term in the State Legislature of Massachusetts. In politics Mr. Olney is an old-time Democrat, but was unable to support But- ler for Governor. He did not take part in the last Presidential campaign, but | rendered effective service to Mr. Cleve- land in an unobtrusive manner. s a lawyer his success has been that of a counselor rather than that of an advocate. THE TREATY OF PEACE. China Compelled to Extend Commercial Courtesies to Japan. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—Minis- ter Denby of China, in a dispatch dated | May 25 has furnished the State Depart- ment a synopsis of the treaty of peace be- tween China and Japan. The commercial provisions are as follows: A new treaty of commerce to be made imme- diately after this treaty is ratified, and untit the treaty is made Japan is to have favored nation treatment. Six months from the date of the present treaty, April 17, the following concessions tp take effect: First—The following ports to be opened to Japanese trade, residence, industries and man- ufactories: Shin, in Hapei; Chung King, in Szechuan; Suchow, in Kiang Su; Hong Chow, in Chekiang. Second—Steam navigation on the upper Yang-tse River from Ichnng to Chung King | and on Woo Sun River and the canal from Shanghai to Suchow and Hong Chow. Third—Japanese may rent or hire warehouses for storage of goods'in the interior of China free of taxes or exactions. Fourth—Japanese may engage in manufac- turing and may import machinery at all open | ports. In a previous dispatch, dated April 22, | Minister Denby states that Vice-Consul Bandidnal of Newchwang Province, still occupied by Japanese troops, had received | communication from the Japanese author- ities announcing that a special commis- sion for the port had been appointed and that commerce would be carried on with certain restrictions usual and essential during military occupation. The customs duties, fees, etc., levied upon exports and imports are to be the same as prevailed under Chinese rule. — e ON 4 GOLD BASIS. Much Interest in Chile’s New Currency Conversion Law. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—The Associated Press cablegram announcing that Chile’s new currency conversion law places that country on a gold basis created much interest here. Secretary Cruse of the Chilean legation, when asked to-day about what effect the new law would have, replied: *‘No effect whatever on our bonds or outstanding loans, all of which are payable, principal and interest, in gold. But it will insure a stable currency. It 1s not expected that gold will circulate much in ordinary com- mercial transactions. Silver will be the medium, together with bank notes, issued substantially on the United States system. To carry out the provisions of the law the new President of Chile is authorized to sell some of the Government nitrate beds to procure the coin necessary to retire this paper money. For three years he is also authorized to coin $10,000,000 of silver an- nually and to negotiate for advances on the purchase money of the nitrate beds. Silver will be legal tender up to $50. In sums exceeding that it will be exchange- able at the mints for gold at its market value.” . NO CRISIS 1IN SPAIN, Minister Delome Says the Cabinet Mem- bers Are in Harmony. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—Minis- ter Dupuy Delome of Spain says there is no fear of a cabinet crisis, as the result of the adverse vote in the Spanish House of Deputies yesterday, and that the vote does not indicate any change of the Govern- ‘ment’s policy in Cuba or on other questions of importance. The Conservatives recently assumed the conducting of affairs. They did not, however, have a majority in the House of Deputies, and it was one of the terms on which the Conservative leaders undertook to form a cabinet that the other parties should assist in passing the budget. This was essential by reason of the strength of the different parties in the | House which is about as follows: Con- servatives 100, Liberals 38, Republicans 25, Carlists 3, and Cuban and Porto Rico members 25. The Minister is satisfied that the aaverse vote was on some minor question not in- volving the Government policy, saying he would be informed at once if a crisis was imminent. The budget will be passed by July 1, as the fiscal year ends then, The Cortes will then adjourn, and it is under- stood an election will be held. ORI AT A Faster Becomes Insane. SOUTH ENID, O.T., June 4—FEugene Busch, the farmer who recently fasted forty days, was to-day pronounced insane by the County Commissioners. Physi- cians differ, however, as to whether he is insane or delirious from overeating at the close of his fast. His profanity now equals his hitherto zealous prayers. and what is not * man can think elearly ably in Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland. In Ohio plants set out are dying from drought. —_————— 2 PATENT OFFICE GAZETTE. Settlement of the Long Contest Over Its Publication. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4. — The long-drewn-out contest over the publica- tion of the Patent Office Gazette was set- tled to-day by the action of Commissioner Seymour and Secretary Smith, in deciding that the law required them to continue the old method of printing and publishing the Gazette. In this method the bulk of the Gazette is produced by the lithographic process. About three-fifths of the work in point of cost isdone by the Government Printing Office. The total cost under the arrange- ment just made will be $125,140 per year. Bids for producing the entire Gazette wholly by printing were made b; resplonsl- ble es as low as $75,000. The litho- graph work was awarded to A. B. Graham of this city for $54,902. e Authorized to Begin Dusiness. ‘WASHINGTON, D.
