There will be elected thereafter 162 delegates, from which Mec- Kinley will recruit a large percentage of the reserve force.

Piece of a Needle Extracted From the Foot of a Child—Probings Failed to Locate It PITTSBURG, Pa., April 5.—Practical use of the X-rays in surgery was made this evening In the Homeopathic Hospital and was successful in every particular. By means of a photograph with the rays last night the exact location of a piece of needle in the foot of 7-year-old Rachael Newell of Bast Liverpool was ascertained, and in less than a minute after the first incision tie needle was found, placed ex- actly as in the photograph. The opera- tion lasted sixty seconds. While Rachael was running about a room five weeks ago her foot struck a needle and about a quarter of an inch of the steel ran into the ball of the foot. Acute irritation set in and the foot swelled twice 1ts natural size. Frequent probings were made, but the steel could not be lo- cated. e STRANGE SUICIDE.

Strand re- ported to two police officers that his over- coat had been stolen. A certain man leaving the hall about the time looking a little suspicious was followed. As soon as the suspect found out he was being watched he ran, with tbe officers at his heels. Two blocks away he pulled out a revolver and fired a bullet into his head, dying instantly. 1t has since been learned that the man did not steal the overcoat, but it is be- lieved the suicide had been planned. The dead man was well dressed and he was not a manual laborer. He had cut from his clothes all names of makers and had not a paper on his person from which his identity could be traced.

WEDDING OF THE EX-PRESIDENT, To-Day General Harrison and Mrs Dimmick Will Be United. QUIET EVENT ARRANGED | Ex-Cabinet Members Who Will Be Present and Children ‘Who Will Not. DETAILS ARE NOT OBTAINABLE Those in a Position to Know Abso- lutely Refuse to Divulge the Prcgramme. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5—Ex-Presi- | dent Harrison spent the most quiet day of his visit to the metropolis to-day. He re- tired at 9 o’clock this evening, after dining with his former Attorney-General and law partner, W. H. H. Miller. It has been a day of declinations, both by the general aud his friends, regarding the details of to-morrow’s wedding. General Harrison declined to say a word about it to the pub- lic. His secretary, Mr. Tibbetts, who is to be one of the ushers, declined to tell at what hour the ceremony in St. Thomas Church is to take place. to gave any particulars whatever about the affair and its participants. Mrs. Dimmick declined to talk, and her friends, Mrs. L. V. Parker and Mrs. John A. C. Gray, declined to tell any of the in- teresting things that had come to their knowledge. Mr. Harrison arose at 7 and spent some time in looking over his mail, and it was 9 o’clock when he went down to breakfast in company with Colonel Corbin, U. 8. A, who bad called, and Private Secretary Tibbetts. After breakfast they were joined by Daniel T. Ransdell, who is tc be an usher, and the party talked for some time. General Har- rison wrote a few letters, and at noon was joined by his former Attorney-General, with whom Mr. Harrison was alone for upward of an hour. They then started for a walk, and passed out at the Twenty- third street door of the hotel to avoid the reporters who were in the corridors. The ex-President was recognized by but few pedestrians, and after strolling up Fifth avenue a few blocks returned to his hotel and stayed in his apartments unti! dinner- time. Every one connected with the church ceremony declinéd to-day to state the exact time at which it is to occur. Thatis done to avoid a crowd around St. Thomas’, although Police Inspector Cortlight has taken special precautions to prevent any annoyance to the bridal party. Tt is known, however, that the ceremony will take place between 5 and 6 o’clock in the afternoon, unless another change is made in the plans. The ushers, Messrs. Tibbetts and Rans- dell, Mrs. Parker, the wife of Lieutenant Parker, U. 8. N., who is Mrs. Dimmick’s sister, and Mrs. Parker of Washington, the wife of Major Parker, will accompany Gen- eral Harrison and his bride as far as Phila- delphia in his special car after the wed- ding. A wedding dinner will be served on the train. Although it was reported that William C. Whitney had made prep- arations for a wedding dinner at his home directly after the church ceremony, he re- fused to confirm it and so do the others. s i ey DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Members of the Ex-President’s Cabinet Who Will Attend. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.—Hon. J. W. Foster, who was President Harri- son’s Secretary of State, left Washington for New York on the midnight train to at- tend the wedding of the ex-President and Mrs. Dimmick.

INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., April 5.—Russell Harrison and Mrs. McKee, the son and daughter of General Harrison, did not leave for New York to-day to attend the wedding of the ex-President and Mrs. Dimmick to-morrow, and they will not be present at the ceremony. From the time that the Harrison-Dimmick engage- ment was first reported it was an open secret here that the children of the ex- President were bitterly hostile to a second marriage. When sheicame here some time ago, Mrs. McKee, instead of going to the residence of her father, which has always been her stopping place while in the city, went to the home of her husband, and the only visits that she has made to her former home have been for the pur- pose of removing her personal belongings. Mrs. McKee will leave for her home in Boston next Tuesday, and so will not ba present when her father brings his new bride to the old home on Delaware street. THE OPELOUS4S 1KOUBLE.

This battery and a_Gat- | ling gun left by the Southern Pacific at 4:55 p. . for Lafayette, where a special | train will be in waiting to take them on to Opelousas. No further trouble is reported from there, but it is thought best to send militia to prevent bloodshed on or about election day. aEi g by STATE BOUNDARY DISPUTE. Temporary Peace Between Rival Claim- ants in Missouri and Nebraska. LINCOLN, NEBk., April 5.—County At- torny Murphy of Nemaha County, this | State, is in the city conferring with Gov- ernor Holcomb as to the boundary dispute between Nebraska and Missouri. Mr. Burham says a temporary truce has been dectared between the rival claimants of the two States for the land and there is no immediate fear of an outbreak. Governor Stone of Missouri has written Governor Holcomb saying he is anxious to co-oper- ate in the courts in arriving ata settle- ment of any dispute that bas arisen or may arise. As Nebraska farmers are in possession it is thought that the initiative must be taken by the Missouri people who claim the land in dispute. PASTOR BANKER INDICTED.

LONDON, ExG., April 5.—The Standard to-morrow will publish a dispatch from | Buluwayo, furnished to it by a news | agency, saying that the Matabeles have murdered a hundred whites, and that 250 are still missing. CAPE TOWN, Sourn AFRICA, April 5.— Frederick C. Selous, the hunter and ex- plorer, who left Buluwayo with a small force to escort the mail coach from Mangua to Buluwayo, has returned safely to the latter place, which, according to dispatches l received here to-day, is quiet. An ex-officer in the British army, who is now a resident of the Rand in the Transvaal, telegraphed to Buluwayo, offering his assistance against the Mata- beles. A reply was sent to him, in which it was said that Buluwayo declined to re- ceive help from Johannesburg. There is much alarm at Mafeking, on the Transvaal border, and farmers living near that place are taking their families into the town for protection. It is re- vorted there that natives in the district threaten to rise against the authorities in consequeunce of the slaughter of their cat- tle to prevent the spread of the rinder- vest. e NOT A COMBINED RAID., Extent of the Anglo-Italian Co-operation in Africa. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5.—A special cable dispatch to the Herald from Rome says: A high functionary assures me that the presence of Colonel Slade, the British at- tache, at the operations of the Italian forces in Abyssinia does not signify any com- bined action on the partof England and Italy, and that special co-operation is im- possible. “We shall fight the Dervishes,” he re- marked, “‘only as far as our own interests demand. —_———— Dervishes Routed by Arabs.

Pretty Gertrude Hopkins the Heir to Many Millions. CLEVELAND, Onio, April 5.—Miss Ger- trude Hopkins, one of the official stenog- raphers in the Common Pleas Court, who bas a surplus of personal beauty, will shortly have a typewriter for sale cheap, unless she wants to keep it as a memento of “former days.” Miss Hopkins has dis- covered that she is an heiress to $7,000,000. Her mother, formerly a Miss Barker, was born in New York in 1836, Miss Josephine Barker was the daughter of James Barker, who was born in England. The latter was a fourth son, and as the English law at the time gave all the property to the eldest son, he came to America. Later the eldest son, who inherited the property, becoming dis- solute, sold away his life interests. A change in the Enelish lJaws turned the attention of the American Barkers to the property, and they began suit to recover the life interest. Solicitors nave been re- tained to look after Miss Hopkins’ inter- ests. Itisstated that there are very good prospects of her winning the case. There are not many claimants, and if the suit is won Miss Hopkins will be very wealthy. g =iy PROPOSES A BATTLE ROYAL.

Quinn said to-day: “Fitzsimmons will be in Pittsburg this week. During the week I intend to test the manhood of him and his manager. I will agree tochartera special train and pay half the expenses, Julian and Fitzsimmons to pay the other half, and ride outside the State and settle the personal matters between us. I will have Maher in hand, and guarauntee that he can whip Fitzsimmons, and I am sure that I can give Julian a good whipping. Our party will consistof Maher and myseli and five friends, and Fitzsimmous and Julian can bring five friends with them.” ol o e NOT INTENDED AS PROTEST. An Explanation of the British Expedition Sent Out to Survey in Venezuela. LONDON, ExG., April 5.— A news agency denies the statement contained in a recently published dispatch from George- town, Demerara, that a British expedition had left that place to establish a new sta- tion on the Cuyuni River, west of the Schomburg line, to open a new road to the Yuruan as a protest against a big grant by the Venezuelan Government to American capitalists in the gold country at the mouth of the Orinoco. It expresses the opinion that the statement contained in the dispatch referred to originated from preparations by an English surveying party for an inspection of the country between the Purunia and Cuyuni rivers, to ascertain whether it is possible to build a road or rzilway to open up the gold fields. T e BOOTH-TUCKEE TALKS. Asks for the Prayers of Salvation Armw Members. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 5.—Booth- Tucker, the new commander of the Salva- tion Army in the United States, made his debut before a Philadelphia audience to- day. Commander Booth-Tucker addressed three meetings, two in the afternoon and & third in the evening in Association Hall. The meeting in Association Hall was by far the most im:posing of the day, and was largely attended. The name of Ballington Booth was not mentioned by the speaker, nor was anything said to indicate that the army under his command would at all clash with the new movement inaugu- rated by Ballington Booth. The only ref- erence to the existing trouble made by Booth-Tucker was as follows: “In regard to the very painful circum- stances that brought us here, I want to say 1 want your prayers. My wife wants your prayers. As for the army, you need not be anxious. With the help of God we are not going ‘to suffer materially, but we will march on. If all the brigadiers, captains and officers of the Salvation Army were to run away—if 1 were to run away—I feel that others would rise up and take our places.” s UL e THOUSANDS MADE HOMELESS. Fire Destroys Santa Cruz, on the Island of Luzon. MADRID, Seary, April 5.—A dispatch from Manilla says that the town of Santa Cruz, on the west coast of the Island of Luzon, 110 miles north of Manilla, has been almost completely destroyed by fire. Four thousand houses were burned and 30,000 persons were rendered homeless. A MYSTERIOUS VISITOR, The United States Minister to Turkey Arrives on a Secret Mission, Absolutely Nothing to Say Until He Has Reported to Secretary Olney. NEW YORK, N. Y, April 5.—Alexander W. Terrill, United States Minister to Tur- key, was a passenger on the Hamburg- American line steamer Furst Bismarck, which arrived to-day from Mediterranean ports. Mr. Terrill seemed to be in perfect health and in perfectly good humor, but to all questions regarding his mission to this country he responded with the one phrase, “I've absolutely nothing to say.” He said he would tell everything to Secre- tary Olney, whom he intends tomeet in ‘Washington to-morrow. He was asked about the state of political affairs at Constantinople, the Armenian question and the doings of Miss Clara Bar- ton, who departed some time ago on her mission of charity to those who are said to be the victims of cruelty at the hands of the Kurds and Turks, but he turned a deaf ear to all interrogations. He mechanically repeated that there was nothing to be given out. Mr. Terrell, it was said, would visit his ranch in Texasimmediately aiter finishing the preliminaries of bis mission to Wash- ington. e A e APRING FACTORY BURNED. The Building Was Supposed to Be Fire- Proof—Narrow Escapes. WORCESTER, Mass.,, April 5. — The spring factory of the Quinsigmond Works of the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Company was burned this morning., The loss is $175,000, covered by insurance. The fire originated in an old pipe connected with one of the furnaces in the mill which was being repaired by two men. The pipe contained oil, and the building was so saturated with it that the men had barely time to escape. This was the only build- ing in the entire Washburn & Moen plant which was considered tire-proot. e YT Deadly Fight Between Eoughs.

The balance of the ;all-players were locked up. DEATH VALLEY'S HIDDEN TREASURE, A Fabled El Dorado Sought in Vain by Fortune- Hunters. MANY NEVER RETURN. Ledges Rich in Yellow Metal That Are Seldom Found the Second Time. FATE OF A FRESNO MINER. Started for the Barren Tract Months Ago and Has Not Since Been Heard From. FRESNO, CaL., April 5.—Another life has been sacrificed to the determination among miners and prospectors to unearth the hidden treasures of Death Valley. The latest supposed victim known to people of this community is D. K. Roberts. About a year ago Roberts made a perilous trip across the Sieira Nevada Hountains from Inyo to this county. Some time after that he returned to Inyo County, and when last heard from was about to start on a pros- pecting tour into Death Valley. From that day until the present no trace of him has been found, and it is feared that he verished in the desert. His sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ebrenburg of San Francisco, are here trying to find some trace of him, but so iar they have been unsuccessful. Fxpeditions to seek for the fabled riches of Death Valley start ont annually. This great expanse of arid land, lying in the Fanamint Mountains in the southeastern vart of Inyo County, is about 400 feet be- low sea level, and, except for a few sources of springs along its mountain sides, is entirely destitute of vegetation or water. The heat, except in winter, 1s a constant mepace to life. Traditions, many of them of Indian crigin, are constantly being repeated under new conditions and in- vested with new interest. Prospectors often return from this valley with samples of ore rich in gold and this inspires others to join in a search for these ledges. Singular as it may seem, these ledges are seldom ever found the second time. Parties thus baffled often become wander- ers, going from point to point withont any fixed purpose in view. Water and food give out, and the teams either die or re- fuse to be urged forward. The fortune- hunters then wander on a-foot until death closes the scene. Other miners and pros- pectors hear of the lost El Dorado, and, notwithstanding that they may be ap- prised of the fate of the previous expedi- tion, go forth the next year in the hope of gain. Roberts, it is thought, joined one of these parties, no member of which has returned to tell the fate of his com- rades. THE VE) CZUELAN QUESTION., Solution of the Trouble Satisfactory to All Ts Looked For. LONDON, Ex6., April 5.—The Chronicle will say to-morrow that the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States concerning Venezuela are proceed- ing and that a solution ot the trouble sat- isfactory to all all is counted on with con- fidence. The Times has received a publication dated Atlanta, Ga., the cover of which bears the embossed stamp of the Vene-. zuelan legation at Washington.
