If he is notified tha: the papers served by Buchanan’s attorne do not constitute a stay, the execution will take place with the least vossible dela; if otherwise, the case will be delayed until further judicial determination of the case is obtained. This is the situation to-night and only the Attorney-General can change it. The intense mental excitement which he has undergone in the past few d has made a great change in Dr. Buchanan. He was unable to sleep last night, and to-day be has been in a condition bordering on Occasionally he falls into a doze from sheer exhaustion, only to awake with a start in a few moments.

While Fighting to Save a Building the Structure Gollapses. WORCESTER, Mass., June 30.—A sec- ond alarm was sounded at 5.0'clock this morning for a fire in the three-story frame building at 1 Bracket court, occupied as a hop and mattress shop by the Hub- bard Manufacturing and Supply Company. Hose 4 was at work on the third floor when the building collapsed, and the en- tire company was carried to the first floor, a distance of 30 feet. Lieutenant John J. Boyle and Hoseman William P. Brigham were killed and burried in the debris, and the injured included: Deputy Chief En- gineer George B. Coleman, Captain W. N. Avery, John P. Casey, F.' H. Bassford, Charles E. Sweet, H. H. Hale, Fred W. Marcomb and Lieutenant W. H. Chadwick. The fire loss will amount to from $8000 to $10,000. e Drunkenness Caused Their Death. EASTON, Pa., June 30.—The crew of a Lehigh Valley freight train found the bodies of three men on the track at Green's bridge, near Phillipsburg, N. J., early this morning. They were recognized as the bodies of three Hungarians employed at the Alpha Cement Works at Whittaker, N.J. The men were seen walking along the track from Phillipsburg. They were intoxicated and had been warned to get off the track about two hours before tiiey were found dead. Their bodies were badly multilated. CHARGED WITH BRIBERY Certain Members of the lllinois Assembly to Be Prose-~ cuted. Laboring Men Claim That Money Was Paid to Defeat the Arbl- tration Bill. CHICAGO, ILL., June 30.—The Chronicle to-morrow will “It is expected there will be some development of a practical nature to-day or ‘o-morrow in the move- ment to inaugurate prosecutions in the Criminal Court against certain members of the General Assembly on the charge of bribery. “In addition to the charges published vesterday itis said that the labor organiza- tions have presented to the Governor evidence showing that the arbitration bill was defeated by corrupt methods. The bill is now in the hands of a committee, and it is expected that it will never be reported on.” The Chronicle' will also publish a special telegram from Springfield saying that the Governor is still non-committal, but does not deny that the allegations with regard to prosecution of I lators are true. S g e HOSTILITIES IN THE ORIENT. Preparations for an Outbreak Being Made by Russia and Japan. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 30.—The Herald’s Berlin cable says: A member of the diplomatic service and a close friend of Prince Bismarck has assured me that the Teports of preparations being on foot for an outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan are quite correct. He is of the opinion that a secret treaty f liance has been concluded between Britain and the Japanese Govern- ment.

VICTORY FOR REBELS, Severe Battle Fought With a Garrison of Spaniards. HEAVY LOSS INFLICTED. Gomez Marching on Havana With a Force of 3000 Men. PROPOSED - COURSE OF SPAIN. She Intends to Deal With the In- surrection With a Hand of Iron. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., June 30.—A spe- cial to the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla., says: The Mascotte brought a heavy passenger list from Key West this afternoon, among whom were a number of cigarmakers for new factories opening here. The list from Havana was lost, but among them was a gentleman whe is well posted on Cuban affairs. He states that Maximo Gomez surprised a garrison of 1500 Spaniards at Alta Garcia and had a-severe battle with them. He cut their ranks all to pieces and routed the enemy with heavy losses. After he bad taken the town he burned it. Colonel Borero, one of the Cuban lead- ers, was killed by his own men, but it is said by some by accident; by others it is believed that Spanish soldiers who had gomne over to the Cubans are responsible for his death. It isasserted that the Cubans distrust, and rightfully, these Spanish re- cruits. Marti was murdered by supposed friends who had come to the assistance of the Cubans, but in fact only came to lead the patriotic leader into the deathtrap of the Spaniards. Gomez is marching on Havana with 3000 men, and asserts that within a short time he will water his horses in Rio del Almenda and command the port with Cuban forces. Campos has made a demand for 14,000 more troops, and now asserts that before the rebellion can be quelled thousands of heads will have to be cut off. These passengers assert positively that the insurrection is spreading and gather- ing force everywhere. The Spaniards thought the rebellion was crushed when Marti was slain. If such an idea had ever occurred to Campos it is now dispelled. SEIZURE OF 4 SCHOONER. She Arrives at Key West From Cuba vithout Papers. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., June 30.—A tel- egram from Key West, Fla., says: Considerable excitement was caused in this city this afternoon by the arrival in port of the British schooner Attic from Nassau without papers, the vessel having left Nassau on the 19th. Her captain is a Spaniard by the name of Artoga, and the crew iscomposed of Cubans. She also has five Cubans passengers. The eaptain claims to own the schooner and is bgund Being short of provisions ae put into this port. The customs authorities have attached her and an inspector bas been detailed to go on board. The shore is crowded with Cubans, as it is reported that many of those on board are known in this city. It is also reported to be part of the expedi- tion that left here with Roloff. Louisville convention, to-day said: “Democrats who led the fight ror Mr. Clay’s nomination for Governor are in an angry frame of mind and openly announce their intention of bolting the nomination of Hardin. In this work the Clay men will be assisted by the free silverites, who declare that they will desert Hardin be- cause he proved a Judas to Clay. The convention was a farce throughout, and I am now fully convinced I shall be elected.” b CHNANAY CRONINED Hui Kin Created a Regular Minister of the Presby- terian Church.

Cuban Bonds Disposed Of for 80 Per Cent of Their Face. MADRID, Spa1x, June 30.—At a special gitting to-day of the Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of the Colonies, Senor Casteilanos, in reply to a question as to how the issue of Cuban bonds, which it had been decided to issue, would be ef- fected, replied that the matter had not yet been settled. In the meantime, he added, a loan had been raised on 80 per cent of the face value of these securities. The budget authorizes the Minister of Finance to negotiate a loan of $120,000,000 compris- ing the existing floating debt. SPAIN'S IN NTENTIONS. She Proposes Dealing With the Insurrec- tion With an Iron Hand. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.—Itis not three days since the report of the capture of the insurgent General Maceo was first made public, and no one in Washington, not even the Spanish Minister, is able to confirm the story. It is looked upon in diplomatic quarters as erroneous. Ministerde Lome himself says that had there been any truth in the re- port he would have been advised of it be- monies attending the Presbyterian ritual. Hui Kin is an intelligent looking man, about 35 years old, with scarcely any of the physical characteristics of his race, and for a year and a half has had a reacher’s license and has conducted a hinese mission at 14 University Place. Unusual interest was attached to the event as he is the first Chinaman who was ever ordained for the Christian ministry in this part of the country, and only two other cases in the country are recorded, these being in California. Kin came to the United States about twenty years ago, and five years later em- braced Christianity. He came to New York ten vears ago, and immediately took up religious work among his fellow-coun- trymen in this eity. He studied theolog; under the direction of the New York Presbytery and conducted missions under its direction. The Rev. Arthur Brown delivered an interesting ordination ser- mon.

The reportof the capture of this insurgent general foliowed closely upon the heels of the announcement that the Spanish Cortez contemplated the issuance of a budget of considerable proportions for the prosecution of the war with Cuba. The rumored capture of Maceo tends to “‘boom’’ the proposed financial scheme. The latest advices from Spain indicate that the Home Government intends deal- ing with the insurrection in Cuba with an iron hand as scon as the rainy season on the island is at an end. That will be early in September. Just row the conditions prevent active military operations. All the rivulets are now swollen streams and cannot be forded. It is impossible to chase those in retreat or give battle to those who stand their ground, and no effort will be made to attack until the weather changes.

Never before has there been the plethora of money now manifest, and although the appearances all point to a speculative busi- ness revival the accumulation keeps gain- ing every day.

The American Oarsmen the Recipi- ents of Many Soclal Cour~ tesies. HAVRE-ON-THE-THAMES, E~crax, June 30.—A representative of The United Press visited this place to-day for the pur- pose of seeing the crews that are to take part in the coming rowing regatta. He found the river rather lower than usual owing to the iight rainfall of late, but the reaches from Kingston uoward were as green and as beautiful as ever. The Canadian oarsmen complain of the heat. The Cornell crew are in the pink of con- dition and henceforth will seek to main- tain all that hard work has done for them. They now practice spurting and starts.

The Most Embarrassing Feat- ure Is the Recently De-~ posed Premier. A DROUGHT OF TWO. MONTHS. Passage of a Law Designed to Make Parislan Journalism Less Indecent. [Copyright by The New York Times, 1895.] LONDON, Exc., June .30—Except to the gentlemen who will face the necessity of drawing large checks in favor of returning officers next month, this great crisis through which we have been passing all the week is really not very exciting. No doubt the papers are right in describing it as momentous and historic, but it is rather dull. I suppose the truth is that Lord Rosebery’s Ministry was sick so long, and taxed the patience of nurses and watchers through such a wearily protracted period, and all without the faintest hope of any- body being mentioned probablein the will, that the final catastrophe finds the mourners mourning a large alloy of relief with these perfunctory tears. 1t will be another week or ten days before the public wakes up and displays genuine interest in the new developments. First of all, it should be said that the coming contest is not at all the one-sided affair that it is popularly supposed to be. The one embarrassing feature in the Liberal outlook is Lord Resebery himself. If he would drop even the faintest hint that he was tired of political life and in- tended to withdraw a new fighting spirit would leap like an electric fluid through the whole Liberal organization. His fail- ure to do this forces his party to speculat- ing as to how he will be got rid of and interfere with their calculations of how to with beat the common efiemy, and this is not helpful. 3 Bt they are all swearitig to one another that he shall never, never be Premier acain, and if this becomes conclusive enough in the understanding inside the party they may pluck up heart to go on, make their fight and leave the question of deposing him to the future. It is impos- sible to say what they will lose by this handicap of Lord Rosebery’s unfortunate personality. If that can be put aside or tacitly ignored there is no reason for the assumption that they are bound to be beaten. They will lose something in Scotland, most likely, and in Lancashire. There are two opinions about London, and the prevailing one is in favor of Liberal losses, but this, too, seems to me to be by no means certain. The Lon- Nt Mcdar mont is president, is also anxions to enter- tain. the American oarsmen, but no date has been fixed for their entertainment. Eton College has entered a crew in_the race for the Grand Challenge Cup. This college has never competed before. It is understood that the object in entering a crew this year is to try the strength of the Cornell crew. The entries, though fewer this year than they were in 1894, report a better class of oarsmen. The start will be made in the coming re- gatta on the firing of a pistol, instead of the ringing of electric bells ag heretofore, The electric plant was struck by lightning and its usefulness destroyed. The Hon. W. F. Smith, M. P,, and an ex-Oxford oarsman, will entertain many old rowing men at his Henley residence. PLIMMER TO MEET DIXON A Fight Between the Little Men Has Practically Been Arranged. They WIIl Meet at Dallas, Texas, “ Previous to the Corbett-Fitz- simmons Mill. NEW YORK. N. Y., June 30.—Phat George Dixon of Boston and Bllly Plimmer, the clever lighiweight fighter who hails from Birmingham, England, will fight at Dallas, Tex., for the feather-weight cham- pionship and a purse of $7500 during the week that Corbett and Fitzsimmons decide their match is now practically assured. Joe Vendig, who was chiefly instru- mental in bringing Corbett and Fitzsim- mons together, has been working hard re- cently to bring Plimmer and the little colored champion to an agreement regard- ing the weight at which they shall fight. The boys have been anxious for some years 4o meet in the ring and settle the question of superiority, but a difference of opinion regarding weight has rendered all efforts to make a match futile. Plimmer has held that they should fight at 115 pounds,weigh in at the ringside, while Dixon has con- tended that the flghting weight should be at 118 pounds. Vendig to-night made an announcement which indicates that a compromise re- garding the weight question has been reached, which will probably result in the men being match He said that Tom O’Rourke, the manager of George Dixon, and “Parson” Davies, who is acting for Plimmer during the latter’s absence in %ng- land, have had an extended conference, at which it was decided to have the boys fight at 116 pounds, weigh in four hours before the battle. As Plimmer gave Davies authority to act for him, it is thought that the battle is now an assured thing, and that articles will soon be drawn up and signed. It was also agreed at the confer- ence that the fight shall take place the :ighlt before the Corbett-Fitzsimmons attle. ‘On the Eastern Diamonds.

It is far too early to make an intelligent forecast. At this stage it is enough to say that there will be a good fight and all the chances are by no means on one side. It is a question of tactics whether the Armenian issue will be sprung next week or withheld until the dissolution July 8. This card hes been described in these dis- patches for a long time as being up the Liberal sleeve. There isnow a deep anxiety as to the manner in which it will be played. It seems settled that Mr. Gladstone is to do it. Lord Salisbury’sspeech at Braaford a while ago, in which he practically backed up the Turk, has rankled in the old war horse's veins ever since, and I am told that he has thought of nothing sinee but how to assail him most effectively for it. This rapt eagerness for battle against the Turk was displayed in a curious fashion-at the beginning of the week, when Gladstone could hardly be restrained from going to the House of Commons on his arrival at London, and went that same night and dined with Lord Rosebery in Dowhing street, staying until nearly midnight. Considering that he scarcely mentioned Rosebery’s name in private talk and never once publicly since he was jockeyed out of office, and, as their personal relations have been formal, almost to the point of frigidity, this is extremely significant. Nothing but Armenia could have effected this striking change in the proud old statesman’s pos- ture toward his successor and toward the party which had deserved his help so little. Perhaps in a farewell letter to his constituents of Midldthian, pechaps before, he will throw the tremendous weight of his authority into the campaign. This is to be counted with as a factor in the prob- lem which may swallow up all the others, as in 1874, Ireland, I think, is all right. The result in Cork is not at all to be taken as showing a great growth in the Parnell- ites’ strength. What it does show is popular disgust at William O'Brien’s behavior and dismay at the folly of his Parliamentary committee friends in nominating old Xavier O’Brien, a silly old man whose fatuity created the -whole Tweedmouth check scandal, to succeed him. Elsewhere in Ireland. the Parnellite losses instead : sanguine Nationalis 3 sixty-five seats to he - won from th and five from the. P it also negotiations for Nationalists and Par taking St. Stephen Greer; from the Tories. Inany case it seems beyond: the Nationalists will return with increased ranks and, what is: infinitely ‘more to the point, it is tolerably certain that Healy will have a majority in that bodv. Ifthishap- pens, then the Irish national cause will have a chance of real and tangible success for the first time since Parnell ceased to be its recognized exponent. Sexton’s renewed declaration that he has retired from public life is merely his way of protesting against the proposed . substitution of William 0’Brien for himself as editor of the Free- man's Journal. . People in Ireland are skeptic-about its meaning more, but they could bear even other resignations than his with equanimity. . To turn to the other side of the shield people observe that there have been sixteen persons, half of them peer into stop-gap Cabinet, but than To: of the ol land, Cranl g have k, Knuts! Jackson—and that is some comfort. Bal- four is for the moment under something of a cloud in the popular sense, In troubled times like these he cuts but a slender figure at best beside the burly, buccaneering form of his uncle. More- over, he has just been publicly admonished about his silver foolishness by a round- robin of important Tory magnates and is much humbled. 5 There is, at any rate, no bimetallic non- sense about the new Cabinet. Chamber- lain has been taken ahwnr i;lom ehn‘?o Peé agricultuaal post, where he 1joye p%enching free silver and high tariffs to farmers, and placed in charge of a depart- ment rggulating municipalities, whicti he hates. Goschen’s unsoundness on the cur- rency, t0o, is far more answerable for his failure to optain the exchequer again than any rivalry of Chamberlaio. A5 to Chamberlain, theripectacle of him seated on a high bench i 'the ’I\_)ry Cab- inet is slowly soaking itself into the public mind. When the process is com- pleted a permanent chz\llg_e‘“'l]l have been wrought in English politics. A certain small number of those who followed him out of the Liberal party now de visibly branded as Tories, and are return. ing to their earlier allegiance, Others ac. cept the situation humbly, without ex- pressing delight even by gestures, and a great many old Tories are openly indig. nant at his presence with three Unionists in their Cabinet. That this little band of Whig renegades, who contribute perhaps a twentieth of the votes, should get a quarter of the offices seems to be vlaying it very low down. It is too much to predict Tory absenta- | tions from the poll on this account, but it would be difficult to exaggerate their sus- picions and dislike of what they see. They say frankly that Chamberlain will betray them as he did Gladstone and talk vehe- mently of what they will do when he be- gins playing his tricks. Lord Salisbury’s | individuality did not formerly interest| Englisbmen much, but familiarity has | altered this. He may be what Bismarck | contemptuounsly called him, “a lath| painted to resemble iron.” But hisfellow- countrymen have come to accept him for what he seems to be, perhaps with reser- vation, and certainly with a sort of liking. | When he has fought out his American duel witdr Gladstone and the electoral jury has decided between them, it will be time | enough to discuss his theories of England’s place in European affairs. He iscalled a Jingo, but he bas kept the Foreign Office | in infinitely smoother waters than Glad- | stone did. In everything save the| Armenian question the bulk of English- men trust him in foreign affairs, Perhaps even that question is not an exception to this rule, but of that we shall soon see | more. Except some confused reports of risings in Macedonia and of a sharp friction be- tween Turkey and Bulgaria England had no leisure this week or space in her papers for foreign happenings. It is obscurely understood that Russia has slipped up at the last moment in her confident effort to force a monopolized loan upon China. Paris and St. Petersburg editors still in- sist that the delay is only temporary, but the feeling here and in Berlin is the other way. The most prevalent explanation is that Germany and England intervened and persuaded China to refuse. I hear what seems to be a more plausible story, that the Japanese Minister, who arrived at Peking - Sunday, put his foot down promptly on the project and declared that Japan would resume hostilities at once rather than permit Chin ‘agive territorial grants to the Ryssians aere moiety of her debt, which*would ®lot only leave the rest unsecured but place Russiain a position on the Pacific in standing menace and peril to Japan. It is even reported from Tientsin that Japan is hastily fortifying the Liao Tung Peninsula, a defiant protest to China and Russia. It is quite conceivable that Lon- don and Berlin had a quiet understanding with Japan in the matter, but I believe it will be found that the latter has taeken the initiative in blocking the Russian game at Peking. Again, though the week is ending with gray skies, there has been fio actual break in the drought, which has now extended for sixty-three days, with a total rainfall in the London district of three-quarters of an inch. This record only once was ex- ceeded since meteorology became a science, that is to say, in 1893, Although the partial drought then ran 114 days, it is said that in several respects the farmers will suffer more this year. After a prolonged personal struggle the French Senator, Berenger, has succeeded in passing a law which will bear his name, penalizing indecent pictures, advertise- ments and letter press in the newspapers or other public prints, and it is said that there isa tacit understanding among re- sponsible politicians that whoever is in office an honest and vigorous attempt will be made to enforce it. Nothing could do the republic more good in the eyesofa vest majority of provincials than some such resolute effort to cleanse what is called journalism in Paris. Already one hears reports of certain papers changing hands, and of the prospective abandon- ment of journals now running to avoid prosecution.

Zola himself has learned to ride a bicycle and is out with it now all day long. Henri Roche- fort is also seen every morning flying round the Bois on a machine, and the chronicles of other celebrities who have yielded to the fascination of the wheel is a regular feature of the Paris papers.
