Character of the Subsoil Suit- able for the Proposed Structure. FIND NO CAUSE FOR DELAY. Are of the Opinion That Construc- tlon Can Be Commenced at Once. WASHINGTON, D. C., July official report by the United States Govern- ment engineer office th fourteen in- closures, as to the stability of the site selected for the erection of the public building at San Francisco, was to-day re- ceived at the Treasury Department, and cretary Carlisle’s consent is made 1t was as follo tofice and Courthouse o, bave the honor to for the building in San Frax render the followin Ttz Under date of A ving received moti- 1 of appointment to perform the duties d to us, we reported to you for instruc- 15 in the proposed examinstions. nstructions were issued from the etary of the Treasury and received uson June 4. In this letter we were re- ted “t0 examine the nature of the subsoil undation, and to report to the rtment whether the character of the same oper for the contemplated building, and what would be the cost of making the founda- tion for ssid building, and whether the con- struction of said building should be proceeded with on said site.” We were further requested o make a recommendation as 1o the character of the foundation and present an approximate ate of sa ediately siter the receipt of the above- ned letter proposals were invited from le the former borings and the Beal Core Drill Compa: d was received, that of Haley. Mr. Haley proposed to bore the site to & depth of 30 o 50 feet at the rate of $1 25 per foot; be- yond 50 feet he was to receive 50 cents addi- tional for each foot. Under the former action of the Treasury De- 're magde at the site. guatéd A,B,C and partment corners of the building. A was near the south- west corner and was sunk to a depth of 149 feet. B asnear the southeast corner, depth 111 feet. C was near the northwest corner, depth 147 feet. D was near the northeast cor- ner, depth 140 feet. In a general way the bor- ngsat B, C and D show that to & depth of 38 to 40 feet clean sand of varying colors was found; thence to & depth of 50 feet clay was found and below that sand of different grades and colors. In boring A the indications were not so fevorable in the upper sirata, as the sand was found mixed with vegetable matter, debris, peaty sand, ete. Our voring indicates like nature of material at same location, ex- tending through only & limited area. We mede eleven additional borings to a depth of 50 feet each, Their location is shown on the foundation plan. They are des- ignated by numbers, Borings 1 to 6 inclusive show that to a depth of about 38 feet clean sand of varying colors was found, as in the previous borings; then a stratum of black peat about 6 inches in thickness; then about a foot of heavy black mud, and below that to 50 feet slate-colored clay. Borings7, 8, 9 and 10 were made at the southwest corner, as at this loca- tion the nature of the subsoil appears to indi- cate that some additional precautions should be taken in preparing the foundation, and the accompanying diagram shows the locations of these five borings. No. 7 was in the imme- diate vicinity of A. Yellow, black and white sand was found to a depth of 24 feet; thence to 40 feet sand, mud, debris, in general rather soft material, and below that to 50 feet sand and clay. No. 8 showed the general character- istics of borings 1 to 6. No. 9 showed common sand to 19 t; then 1 foot of soft black mud and decayed vegetation; then 1} feet of black peaty mud and sand, filled with sticks, roots, etc.; then good sand for 18! feet, with & few grass roots at about 29 feet; at forty feet 1 foot rotten wood and soit mud; then blaek clay, hard and sticky, 1 foot thick; then slate- colored and yellow sandy clay t050.3. Nos. 10 and 11 had the usual characterisfics of the first borings; that is,sand to 38 and 40 feet, and clay below to 50 feet. The results of the borings are shown on the tracings inclosed. Throughout the site the general indications are of hill sand to depth of about 28 feet below the surface of the ground, and below that clay. The Coast Surveyr chart of 1858 shows that the site was a sand lot covered with brush and small trees. There was no indica- tion of running water on the lot. Itis oniyin the northwast corner for a distance of from 50 to 60 feet along Seventh street and along Mis- sion that the material is of such a nature as to cause extra precautions to be taken with the foundation. Water was found at a depth of 8.8 to 12 feet. The suriace of the ground was connected by levels with the beach mark (29.01) and {he level of the water standing in each well was determined. This latter level is shown on the plats. It may be stated that the material as found and brought to the surface may not show its condition in place, &s the boring apparatus necessarily broke up the mass, and its mixture with the water in the well caused it to appear soft and yielding. It may be that in its natural condition it may stand the same amount of pressure as in other portions of the site. To the first inquiry, therefore, whether the character of the subsoil is proper for the con- templated building, we are of the opinion that the building can be safely constructed upon it. As to the inquiry whether the construction of the building should be proceeded with, from an engineering point of view we see no reason to report otherwise. It remains for us to state in a general way only the character of the foundation and to present an approximate estimate of the same. The foundation should be of concrete. The depth isgiven at 414 feet. For the purpose of epproximating to the cost we have taken that depth;for the main walls and & depth of 3 feet for the columns, making the top of said foun- dation two feet wider than the base of the wall. For a length of 60 feet on Mission street and on Seventh street, where the soft material is found, the base of the foundation is increased 10 2; It is assumed that the ground can be drained into the street sewer for a depth of about nine feet. The water that may be found in the sand to be extracted by pumping will probably depend upon the season in which the excavation may be done. It is hardly capable of eiumnle, although we insert an item for the work, The approximate estimate of the cost of the foundation is as follows: Excavation of 9528 cubic yards of material and disposal of same at 50 Cents per cublcsy;u'd, $4764; 3852 cubic yards of concrete at $7 50, $20,190; pumping, §2000. Total, $35,944, Contihgenctos, 10 pgr cent, $3595. ' Totai, $39,549. The concrete proposed consists of the best FPoriland cement, with twelve cubic feet of seiected sand and thirty cubic feet of broken stone to the barrel. Very respectfully, your cbedient servants, G. W. MENDELL, Colone! Corps of Engi § W Lieutenant-Colo: Fire in an Oil Mill. SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 15.—~The lin- seed oil mill, a large four-story plant, was (] discovered on fire at 8 o’clock on Sunday morning. The fire started in_the east half of the building, in the second story. This portion of the buildinfi contained expen- sive machinery on which there was over $100,000 insurance. The lossis aboat $80,- 000. This is the third time the mill has been burned. Four years ago the entire plant burned and was rebuilt from the ground up. In April of this year the east half of the plant was destroyed. The plant will be rebuilt at once. It is controlled by the National Linseed Oil Company. A MRS. MAYBRICK’S CASE. Change in the British Ministry May Bene- fit the Prisoner. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.-—Noth- ing has been received at the State Depart- ment, officially or otherwise, to indicate the reported resumption of the efforts made in this country to secure a pardon for Mrs. Maybrick, now serving a sentence for the poisoning of her husband, in whose case “Gail Hamilton” took so strong an interest. It is suggested, however. that the recent change in the British Ministry may cause Mrs. Mavbrick's friends in America to renew their efforts with the new Home Secretary, who has charge of such cases, with beiter prospects of suc- cess. The last communication on the subject was received at the State Depariment a yearago. A discouraging feature of the situation is that both a Tory and a Liberal Ministry have refused to recommend par- don for Mrs. Maybrick during the terms of office as Home Secretary of Messrs. Mat- thews and Asquith. A PLOT FOR MILLIONS, Lawyer Paige’s Grave Charges Against John W. Foster and Others. Accusd of Attempting to Mulct the Government Through the Mora Claim. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 15.—A Wash- ington special to a morning paper says: Spain’s payment of the Mora claim as indicated by cable will at last defeat the intrigues of American and foreign claim sharks. at Washington and Madrid have sought to make the payment of this historic award conditional on the acknowledgment of counter claims by the United States. The story of all this plotting to mulct the Government of millions brings to light a serious diplomatic scandal, and shows how the Mora claims have secretly been made to figure as an important incident in a scheme for securing the transfer of Cuba to the United States. Nathaniel Paige, the well-known international lawyer, who for years represeuted the Mora family, fur- nished documents, cablegrams, telegrams and letters which seem to throw a flood of light on the obstruction interposed to pre- | vent the payment of the Mora award. Paige specifically charges ex-Secretary of State and ex-Minister to Spain John W. Foster with opposing this awszrd. Foster has denied the charge, and Paige now comes forward with papers which he claims substantiate the charges. Paige, however, charges that several Spanish Ministers to the country, as well asat- taches of the French legation, obstructed the Mora interests and tried to induce him to press claims they held, and held back the Mora claims. Paige says that the opposition, which has gone on for years, began when the syndicate of American capitalists, during the Grant administration, attempted to carry out a shrewd scheme to secure Cuba. This scheme was not founded on patriotic sentiments, but on profit, as Mr. Paige shows. In brief, the original scheme as et forth in a document lately filed in the tate Department, and now made public for the first time, was for an Amer- ican syndicate to loan Spain $150,- 000,000, the payment of the principal and interest of which were to be guaran- teed by the United States, and the loan to be secured by a pledge by Spain for the revenues of Cuba and Porto Rico and a mortgage on the sovereignty of the island. In case of default in payment of either principal, interest or any portign thereof for a period of ninety days after either shail fall due Spain was to lose all sove- reignty over either island, which would thereby be transferred to the United States. If Spain defaulted the United States would have to pay the enormous debt which Spain owes Cuba on account of out- rages in the island. Inaddition the United States would also be obliged to pay the $150,000,000 to Spain and guaranteed by this Government. If this were the out- come the United States would become re- sponsible for the claims growing out of Cuban outrages and the claim sharks would reap a rich harvest. The Mora claim, Mr. Paige says, was opposed because it might lead to strained relations between Spain and the United States. RAID ON'A COINERS' MINT. Secret Service Officers at Last Capture the Chicago Counterfeiters. Five of the Gang Arrested and a Portion of their Outfit Secured. CHICAGO, ILL., July 15.—As the result of the raids made at an early hour this morning by Captain Porter of the United States Secret Service, assisted by six officers, Pasquela Garofalo, his son, Mate Marro, Gerlardo Diciffeo and Michael Am- brosia, members of an extensive counter- feiting gang, are under arrest. The raid came about through a talk which Captain Porter Lad last Thursday night with Con- stable Bergamo, an Italian, who said he had discovered a gang of Italian counter- feiters who made money like merchandise, and that the “mint” was located in the northwestern part of the city. The first arrest was made at 135 Ewing street, where Diciffeo was taken in and a spurious quarter of a dollar found. At 529 lark street Ambrosia was captured. The best evidence, however, was obtained at 1242 West Nineteenth street. In the attic was found a portion of the plant. It had been dismantled and some of the material for the finished coins and part of the molds had been destroved. n a closet was found plaster of paris and on a shelf a handful of genuine coins, all marked with bits of plaster, indicating that they were the pattern pieces. Garofalo, his son, and Marro, were about to leave the place when the officers ar- rived. —_—— Blow at the Knights of Labor. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 15. — At the glassworkers’ convention to-day it was de- cided not to pay the back per capita tax now due the Knights of Labor, or any tax in the future, until there is a change in the affairs and general officers of that organi- zation. It was also decided not to remove the National headquarters from Pittsburg. The initiation fee for foreign workers was raised from $2to §5, and full citizenship required before membership and employ- ment is granted in any factory in the United States. For years a coterie of diplomats | | was presided over by Dr. Smith, editor of SLAN BY A RIVAL, Love for a Woman the Cause of a Memphis Murder. TRAGEDY ON A STREET. Jacob Rothschild Shot by Dr. White, a Prominent Physician. THE CRIME PREMEDITATED. Sensational End of a Scandal In Which Two Men With Familles Figured. MEMPHIS, Te~x.,, July 15.—Jacob Rothschild was shot twice in the stomach and breast and instantly killed by Dr. John D. White, a leading local physician, to-night. The tragedy occurred on the most prominent section of Main street, on the sidewalk in front of D. H. Baldwin’s music store, in which Rothschild was chief salesman. About ten minutes prior to the shooting White went into the store, intercepting his victim just as he was leaving for the day. The two turned into the store, sat downand engaged in a conversation which appeared to be friendly. Finally they walked out, and, just after reaching the sidewalk, White evidentally gave mortal offense, for his companion, usually a mild- mannered and peaceable man, struck at him with a small pocket-knife. Inan in- stant, the doctor, holding & pistol close to his side, fired two shots. The tragedy was caused by a well-con- nected and widely known young woman, and was the result of insane jealousy on the doctor’s part, though he isa man of family. His victim is also a married man, but his wife and two children live in Dallas, Texas, and he had said nothing to the woman about their existence. To the contrary he had led her to believe he was single. On Tuesday night last, while Rothschild | was calling on the young woman, White sent her a note by a messenger reading as follows: Tell your friend to meet me on _the corner of Mulberry and Beale streets and I will settle with him. Upon the receipt of this it was shown to Rothschild by her, and he changed his mind about leaving, as he was preparing to do, and remained in the house until 4 o’clock in the morning. At that time he did not even know the doctor by sight, so the young woman states, but the next morning he called at his office and formed his acquaintance. Every circumstance prompts the conclu- sion that it was as deliberately planned a murder as was ever perpetrated. Chief of Police Mosely was escorting the prisoner to the station when they met a man, who, ad- dressing the doctor, said: “Well, you got him, did you?’ ‘White was a man generally regarded as dangerous, especially when drinking, but there is no evidence of his haviag been in that condition to-night. Rothschild was about 34 yearsof age and had been in Mem- phis since last October. LUBI'S BOUNTYSCHEME New York Merchants Given an Explanation of the Propo- sition. Resolutions Passed by the Coast Commerclal Assoclation Are Adopted. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 15.—At a meet- ing of merchants to support the propo- sition of David Lubin, a dry-goods mer- chant of Sacramento, Cal., who advocates the payment of an export bounty on staple agricultural products, was keld this morn- ing in the arbitration committee’s rooms of the Produce Exchange. There were thirteen persons present. The meeting Seaboard. Addresses were made by Mr. Lubin, Captain W. W. Bates, ex-Commis- sioner of Navigation, and by A. J. Wedders burn of Fairfax County, Va. The Produce Exchange management was not interested in the meeting, the rooms having been loaned to Mr. Smith for the purpose of get- ting some shipping men together and con- sidering Mr. Lubin's ideas, and was pre- liminary to a larger meeting, which will be held in the Ch amber of Commerce, in case that body decide s to entertain these ideas as worthy of consi deration, Abraham 8. Thier, a dry-goods merchant of this city, presented resolutions which have been adopted by the Commercial Association of the Pacific Coast. They were adopte d. Mr. Lubin was then intro- duced by the chairman and spoke in part as follows: *‘In 1836 I spent considerable time in in- venting an agricultural machine and went to Europe, and incidentally took the model with me. I visited many of the agricul- tural shops in Germany, Austria, Funu and England. The last one I visited was the Eckert Actien-Gesellschaft, a large implement manufacturing concern in Ber- lin, and I spoke te the proprietor, Mr. Siedel. I asked him what he would do with all those cheap machines. Hesayd: ‘“ ‘We do not sell many of them in West- ern and Central Europe, as our farms are too small, but we find a market for them in European Russia and Arabic Russia, North Africa, Australia and South Amer- ica, and especially in Argentina.’ ‘I said, ‘If these machines are placed at work and are operated by cheap labor, witl not the time come when you will suffer on account of the very machines you sell so cheap?’ « ‘*‘No,” he replied; ‘because we have a tariff. We do not produce an exporting surplus; we import, and consequently we can fixa grioe for ourselves,’” Mr. Lubin then went on to say that he investigated the subject upon his return to America and found that in addition to the cheap machinery sold by the European manufacturers, the American manufac- turer also sold cheap machinery to cheap land and labor countries, resulting in the great decline in the world’s price of agri- cultural staples. “Since the prices of staples have declined about 50 per cent from their former rates, and the required ‘pricau are not maintained by protection, this tends to the elimina- tion of the American farmer and his re- placement by a peasant tenantry,’ he said. “To obviate this, my proposition calls for an export bounty on the staples of agriculture, in order that home prices may be enbanced tocompensate the &dns- tries for the cost of protection by the man- ufacturers. We have got to have an unre- stricted, absolute free trade, a fair show and no favors, or we have got to_ raise the price of our products artificially, the same as_manufacturers do by protection, and in this way make the scales of justice even. . “What we want to do is to put in opera- tion what one time was successfully in operation in Encland when she had a_sur- plus of agricultural staples for export.”” S e 0 NEARING ANOTHER BOND 1SSUE. Treasury Deficit Increasing One Million \ Dollars a Day. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15—t is alleged that the treasury deficit increases at the rate of about $1,000,000 a day, and a bond issue will be necessary before Con- gress can take any action in regular session to increase revenues. A bond issue is re- garded as more probable than an extra session of Congress, because there would be great delay even were Congress called together. Senator Dubois said to-day that he be- lieved Western men wonld insist upon the necessary additional revenue being raised by a tariff on wool. He believes the Re- publican Congress cannot refuse 10 restore wool to the dutiable I: e g BIGHRBINDERS IN WASHINGTON. Making War on Chinese Lawundrymen Who Cut Rates. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—The Chinese colony in Washington is proving to be a very troublesome element to the po- lice. The Grand Jury is after some China- men alleged to be highbinders, who have entered into a compact to kill any laundry- men who cuts rates. Ah Sing, one of the latter, was shot several days ago, and he claims that one Moy Chew did it by order of the highbinders. Moy Chew declares Ah Sing was a bad Chinaman when 1n San Francisco, and belonged to a highbinder society there. SAN FRANCISCO'S CHANCES May Get One or Both National Conventions With a Little Effort. Six Eastern Citles Now Engaged in a Warm Campaign for the Honor. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—Several Eastern cities have already taken steps toward securing one or both of the National conventions, The prospects are that the Atlantic Coast and Eastern cities will put up a better fight than ever before. As far as heard from, there are six Eastern aspirants forthe honor of entertaining one or both of the conventions, viz.: New York, Buffalo, Saratoga, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. It seems to be the general impression that it will develop into something of a sectional fight, with the ‘‘gold bugs” for some Eastern city and the silver men contending in favor of some place west of the Missouri River. A general feeling prevails in Washing- ton, and it seems to be shared by the East- ern press, that Chicago has had ner fair share of honor in this line, and some other place should be selected by eich party. Chicago has had eight National conven- tions—five Republican and three Demo- cratic. Baltimore is going to try for the Demo- cratic convention. Prior to 1872 that city had entertained thirteen conventions— eight Democratic and five Whig or Repub- lican—and Greeley was nominated there in 1872, making fourteen in all that were held there. There has been only one National convention held in New York City, and that by the Democrats in 1868. Cincinnati has had four conventions— the last by the Democrats in 1880. The Democrats met in St. Louis twice. The Republicans and Know-Nothings held their convention in Philadelphia in 1856, the Whigs having met there in 1848, The last National convention held there was by Republicans in 1872. The question of an auditorium with ade- quate seating capacity may not cut much figure in selecting the next Democratic convention place. At the last Democratic convention a resolution was passed recom- mending to the National Democratic com- mittee that delegates, alternates and press representatives be admitted. If the National Committee follows directions, the public at large will not be admitted, so the question of a hall with sufficient seat- ing capacity will not be an important fac- tor. If the general public was to be ex- cluded, few other than delegates and press representatives will make the trip, and this would be of advantage to San Fran- cisco if her citizens are desirous of enter- taining the Democratic as well as the Re- publican Convention. The National Re- publican Committee may likewise limit the admission to the convention hall to delegates, alternates and representatives of the press. CLOSE OF THE CRUSADE: Endeavorers Hold Concluding Rallies in Twenty-One Churches. Names of Those Who Alded the Cause Placed on the Roll of Honor. BOSTON, Mass.,, July 15—Nature had wiped her eyes this morning and there was promise of bright skies for the closing day of the great Christian Endeavor Conven- tion. The usual early morning prayer- meetings in twenty-one churches were well attended, and the throngs in Mechan- ics’ Hall and the tents when the meetings opened well testified to the sustained en- thusiasm of the young delegates. In Mechanics’ Hall after the open praise service Miss McLaury of Boston gave her address in the ten minutes assigned for in. formation concerning Christian *indeavor missions. Rev. W. C. Bitting, D.D., of New York, in an eloquent speech unrolled the roll of honor, which contained the names of 5500 Endeavorers who had given $150,000 to missions during the past year, the largest amount ever contributed in one year since the Christian Enceavor move- ment. Rev. W. E. Park of Gloversville, {{. Yrs pn:gem.ed 't:e token dior best work n promoting systematic and proportionate giving to tl:ceg Cleveland Unior‘:. Pe vmv._o. P. Gafford, D.D., of Buffalo, N, Y., delivered an address on “The Light of God the Life of Man,” which was followed by an address on “The Christian Person- ally,” by Rev. H. H.

Crandall of Chi- cago conducted an open parliament on the topic,*The World for Christ—What is your society doing about it?"”’ The morning subject in Tent Walliston was_‘“The Scholarship of the World for Christ.” The usual twenty-minute praise service preceded the formal addresses. The first set address was by President George A.Gates, D.D,,of Iowa College on the “‘Consecration of an Lducated Life.”’ “The Bible, the Great Textbook’’ was the topic of an address bly‘ Dean Alfred A. Wright of Auburndale, Mass. Rev. A. C.

Sent to Secure Information Regarding Great Britain’s Strongholds. WAR DEPARTMENT CAUTIOUS. Inaugurates a Policy of‘ Secrecy in Relation to the United States Defenses. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 14.—A Wash ington special to the Sun says: A carefully concealed policy is now being pursued by the War Department towdrd rendering more valuable the Bureau of Military Information,established some years ago, and which, up to the present time, has practically confined its labors to gathering statistics relative to the standing and available force of the National Guard in the event of a call to arms from the National Government. It has been recognized for years that both the War and Navy departments have been exceedingly backward in procuring data with reference to the progress made by foreign powers toward their defense both on land and sea, and while military and naval attaches at Washington have been given every opportunity to gather for their Governments the results of our armor tests and to secure plansof warship building, but little has been accomplished by our military attaches abroad of any great value to the service. The department is now about to make a third attempt to learn something of the topographical and geographical situation in Carada, with a view of preparing to meet certain situations which may be pre- sented in the event of trouble between Great Britain and the United States from the Canadian frontier. These experts recognize that if the two countries ever come to war Canada will be the most | probable basis of operations for the British troops, and it is proposed to gather data showing the exact strategical import- ance of certain points in the Dominion, which would likely be selected by Great Britain for the mobilization of her armies. | Two attempts in the past few months have been made by the department to de- tail an officer who might reach Canada and gather these data before tue object of his visit became known, but im each instance the fact and the name of the officer has be- come public through the officiousness of | some one, and the object defeated. | Three months ago the Secretary detailed | an officer, who succeeded in reaching | Canada, and had just begun to gather valu- able information, when an old admiral in the navy, whose daughter he had married, gave away the fact that an officer was in Canada on a Government mission, and the result' was that the army man was recalled at once, for fear of his identity being known by the Canadian officials. Later a second detail was made, and this officer was promptly frustrated in his effort through some friends, who could not help mentioning the fact that he had been chosen to study the fortifications and mili- tary strength of the Canadian forces. Again the War Department has detailed a third officer, who will shortly be on his way to Canada, and it is believed he will finally succeed in reaching there without the intent of his vigit being known. This officer will travel incognito, and no one outside of the War Department officials know of the purpose of his inspection of the various military points in the Do- minion. The result of his investigation will be reported to the department, and it is expected that full particulars will be re- ceived of the real military situation which would be presented on the northern frontiers should the United States and Great Britain again come to blows. It is the purpose, also, of the War De- partment to greatly increase the value of the Bureau of Information in other direc- tions. Military attaches abroad are to be instructed to be more alert and to keep the authorities here informed of every- thing transpiring relative to progress in military matters. Greater caution is to be observed, further, in preventing foreign attaches to the United States from secur- ing information regarding the proposed strength of the principal coastwise cities and the location of the main batteries and submarine mines. For years the Sandy Hook proving station has upon nearly every important mortar or gun test wit- nessed the presence of representatives of foreign Governments, who have watched every trial and have duly reported results to their home Government. It isunder- stood here that practically every European Government is now in possession of the proposed sites for submarine mines to blockade channels to the leading cities on the coast, and are in possession of much other valuable data bearing on coast.de- fenses and fortifications. The same is true of the navy, where un- usual facilitigs have been given naval attaches to keep their Governments ad- vised of every advance made here in armor manufacturing and in ship construction. Until recently every armor trial at Indian Head was witnessed generally by some representative of a foreign power, but within the last few months Secretary Her- bert has issued instructions that hereafter no one aside from the United States officers shall be present when the heavy armor plates are fired at. Compared to the obstacles placed in the way of American military and naval at- taches abroad, foreigners at Washington have but little trouble in finding out what is transpiring relative to military and naval matters here. Itis only after the greatest difficulty that the United States attaches finally secure information which is of any real value. They are seldom in- vited to armor tests or trials of great guns, and have no means of finding out the na- ture of the land fortifications, while here everything is practically open to the in- connected with the War Department. The same will apply to Sandy Hook, and the courtesies hereafter extended to mili- tary attaches will be scant compared to the liberal treatment which they have re- ceived at the hands of the officials previ- ously. e L o O CHICAGO’S ELECTION MUDDLE. Partial Recount of the Fotes Increases Belknap’s Plwrality. CHICAGO, IrL., July 15.—The recount of the votgs in the Belknap and McGann contest, which began several days ago, was continued to-day and resulted in a gain of several hundred for Belknap, increasing his plurality to 117. A. E. Gage, the Republican Judge who arrested last Thursday on charges of fraud in connection with the returns, was re- leased on bail this morning. John Readin, the Democratic Judge, is still at large. S e ARREST OF A BOMB-THROWER. 4 Columbus Anarchist Who Tried to Blow Up a Residence. COLUMBUS, Onro, July 15.—George J.

RIVALS AT CLOSE RANCE, Cleveland and Harrison Select the Same Spot for an Outing. Will Spend Several Months on an Island In One of the Fulton Lakes. OLD FORGE, N. Y., July 15.—President Cleveland and his rival in two political campaigns, Benjamin Harrison, will be on Fulton chain of lakes for at least a month this summer. To-day Captain Sweet of the steamer Stowell received a letter stat- ing the President and Mrs. Cleveland, to- gether with their children, would arrive there about August 15. The President has not selected his quarters as yet, and it is not definitely known where he will stay. | Dr. Nicholls of St. Louis has a cottage in the first lake, directly opposite Dodd’s Camp, where General Harrison is, and as ne will not be here for some time it is be- lieved the President will occupy it. Prepar- ations for his stay are now being made. Henry J. Mowry of Syracuse, one of President Cleveland’sintimate friends, isat Forge House now, and he told The United Press correspondent to-day that he expects to be here the remainder of the summer. ‘When President Clevelaad arrives here he will be but a short distance from General Harrison. The Adirondack League Club expects each of the distinguished gentle- men to hunt deer in their park. It became known to-day that during General Harrison’s stay here there is like- lihood of some big political talk being indulged in by the leading lights of the Republican™ party. According to a well-defined rumor it appears that an effort will be made while General Harrison is_here to bave the warring fac- | tions in the Republican party in this State meet here and endeayor to have their dif- ferences settled. It is the intention to try to have General Harrison act as peace- maker, and he will be asked to makea speech for the Republican State ticket be- fore he goes to Indianapolis. General Har- rison is averse to talking politics now, but when the leaders in his party in _this State come here he may change his mind. Mrs. McKee xere’;myned her father to- day that she will not be able to start for this place on Wednesday. No date has yet been fixed for their arrival.

No cause for the deed is known. GAY GENTLEMAN JIn Continued from First Page. She was known as Corbett’s wife. Do you remember the registers of the Burnett House, Cincinnati; the Newell House, Pitts- burg, and the Planters’ Hotel, St. Louis? Yes; Vera was registered as Mrs. Corbett. How did they act toward each other? Very affectionate. He was most atientive to her. Mr. Sullivan—Did you examine the registers of the hotels you have mentioned? Idid not. Ihad the names in the newspa- pers, and heard Vers called Mrs. Corbett around the hotel. ‘Who was present in the car at the time you say Corbett and Miss Vera occupied the same stateroom together? All the members of the company—Mr. J. Wil- son, Joe Egan, Mrs. Burt, Mr. Chase, Mr. Swift and others. & Mr. Hummel—Did Corbett try to conceal his relationship with this woman? He did not. The referee—Did you ever see them go into a hotel room together and come out of one together? No. Did you see them going to the sleeping-car stateroom? Idid. Mr. Sullivan—Did the members of the com- pany address this woman as Mrs. Corbett? Some of them did. Did those who so addressed her do 50 in the presence of Mr. Corbett? ey did. And he did not correct them? - No. Several members of the company fre- quently greeted Vera thus, “Good-morning, Mrs. Corbett.” At this point an adjournment was taken until 11:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Hummel, when asked if the Vera re- ferred to by Miss King is Vera Stanwood, said: “Yes, we refer to Miss Vera Stanwood.” Mr. Sullivan said to a reporter he did not know when his client will appear be- fore the referee. “I can’t tell yet what our line of defence will be,” said Mr. Sullivan. “The evidence brought out so far is not very startling. Mr. Corbett is training conscientiously at Asbury Park for his fight with Fitzsim. mons, and may not come here at all.” In certain quarters it is said that Vera Stanwood is only another name for Hattie Clark. spection of all foreigeners. The War De- partment, however, proposes to be more particular hereaiter in concealing its plans relative to harbor defenses, and it is doubt- ful if in the future military attaches will come into possession of any data which will be of much real value to theii Govern- ments. The defenses of this city are being care- fully guarded from public notice. No one is permitted to land at the new fortifi- cations save Government officials.
