The weather d their has been pleasant. The party has visited several points of interest in the interior, the E_m- peror and Empress observing a quasi in- cognito. The imperial party have not been troubled with the curiosity of the | public, nor have they been annoyed with over-attention on the part of the suthori- telegraphed to Prince at Rome on Friday re- ng bim to convey to King Humbert hroughout his tour. , Prince Henry and his wife, Princess Irene of Hesse, went to the Quir- inal and delivered the Emperor’s message.

The younger children of the imperial family, who remained in Beriin, received a special donation of Easter presents to compensate them for their disap- ent in having been left behind by h eider brothers. The younger boys have been treated to special exhibitions and taken to see other sights auring the absence of their parents and two elder brothers. The Empress will return home after the party have concluded their visit to Vienna, taking the Crown Prince and Prince Eitel rederick with her in order that they may begin their etudies in tbe Ploen College. It has been a seriously considered subject who should be selected to share the studies of the young princes, and as the group se- lected is now constituted it includes the sons of Counts Hochberg and Schulen- burg, the son of an officer in the army end three sons of merchants, representa- tives of the nobility and burgherdom being thus comprised in the set of students with whom the imperial princes will be asso- ciated. The representative of the United Press, while at Friedrichsruhe on April 1 on the occasion of the birthday of Prince Bis- marck, had a prolonged conversation with the celebrated German artist, Franz Len- bach, who is one of Prince Bismarck’s old- estand most trusted friends. Herr Len bach showed the correspondent his latest oil painting of Prince Bismarck. It isa fine work, the eye having a speaking ex- pression that is marvelous. He also ex- hibited the last portrait, which he painted from life, of the o!d Kaiser Wilheim I. The pict is now hanging in the smok- ing-room at Friedrichsruhe and is so placed that Prince Bismarek, sitting in his easy-chair with his accustomed long- stemmed pipe, can obtain the best possible view of the features of his old master. Prince Bismarck passes much of his time daily in this room. The guests who visited the ex-Chancel- lor on the occasion of his birthday con- curred in the opinion that the Kaiser's present to the Prince—a photograph of the imperial group, encased in a bronze frame, the whole being about a fcot long— eignified almost anything that the observer of the gift might surmise, but really gave no indication of the Kaiser's feelings. 1t was remarked that the features of the notable persons viewing the photograph made rapid changes from cold to warmth and vice versa. Count von Waldersee, after meeting the Prince, expressed his pleasure at seeing the ex-Chancellor so strong and bright. The semi-official press are conjecturing that the Emperor is again warming toward Prince Bismarck and are accordingly re- curring to praises of the Prince’s genius and services to the empire, The Cologne Gazette, which recently published an article referring to the piti- ful sight of the decayed Chancellor stumb- ling, full of complaints, behind the state chariot, now declares that the period of antagonism toward him is over and that calumny has been silenced. ‘‘His worst enemies,” the Gazette continues, “are ready to admit the grandeur of this co- lossal historic figure and the heart of the whole of Germany yearns toward him.” The newspapers do not accept any criti- cism of the Prince dealing with the ex- Chancellor as belonging to past history, and holds that it is probable that he will still be called upon to guide the state through a crisis. The Berlin Neuste Nachrichten asserts that the discontent at Pdnce‘ Bismarck's aismissal from the public service remains as great to-day as it was in 1890. The noted German explorer, Eugene 8, Wolff, in conversation with tbe United Press correspondent at Friedrichsruhe on Prince Bismarck’s birthday, declared that Easter wee s T the day was coming when confusion and | entanglement would reach such a pass | | that the Emperor would be umble'm help SAYS SPAlN IS himself except by calling Prince Bismarck to the Chancellorship. It would be a bad day for Germany, he said, if the Prince is not alive to avert a catastrophe. Views of Huntington’s Sen on the Belligerency Question. Herr Wolff expresses the opinion that England will prevent both Germany and France from making any further exten- | sion of their influence in Africa. P The trisl of Baron von Hammerstein, the former Conservative leader and editor- in-chief of the Kreuz Zeitung,upon charg'es of forgery and embezzlement, will begin on April 15. | While Hammerstein was a fugitive a_nd since his apprehension by a German police commissary at Athens and his arrival here and subsequent incarceration, the Con-| servative press has had as little to say of | him or his case as possible; but their car- | UNCLE SAM IN ERROR. rent remarks, in view of the nearness of his trial, suggest that the line of defense adopted by the Conservative party leaders in their toleration of Hammerstein as an active member of the Conservative com- mittee long after his criminal practices bad been discovered, is simply that of throw- ing all the blame upon Dr. Stoecker, | formerly court chaplain, and shieiding | Hammerstein. | It is doubtful whether this defense will | stand. Dr. Stoecker hasdeclared his ability | to prove that the other members of the committee had the same information as | that possessed by himself as to what extent Hammerstein was iavolved. If the trial is strictly limited to proof of the charges o ¢ f forgery and embezzlement, however, the | committee may be able to establish thedis- | closures which another in line of procedure would bring out. The Militar Wochenblatt and the Krenz Zeitung publish articles commenting upon the influence of dueling in Germany, both journals deploring and condemning the practice. The Militar wochenblatt holds | | army ought to be checked, declaring that | no duel is justifiable except when it is im- : the principals through a court of honor. | The report that England is making prep- | arations to re-enforce the British troops in Bouth Africa is awakening the gravest | fears of South African complications. Even the Vorwaerts, the principal socialist organ, warns Mr. Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary, not to meddle further in the Transvaal, declaring that England has too many difficaities on her hands already to justily her in increasing them. The German Admiralty Department has ordered the construction of a torpedo de- stroyer of the latest design and embodying all of the latest improvements from the Co., at Chiswick. A syndicate of Pennsylvania coal-owners bave made a successiul experiment of shipping coal to Germany and will now arrange to send over a large and regular supply. The American horseman, “Texas’” George Jack, has been arrested here on the charge of stealing a gold watch from one of his American associates, Dr. Koch, governor of the Bank of the Empire, has resigned his membership in the Economic Union of the Oberhaus owing to the character of the atiack made by the bimetallic leader, Dr. Arendt, in a pamphlet recently issued by the latter. Dr. Koch characterized Dr. Arendtasa lampooner, whereapon Count von Mir- bach, the bimetallist leader in the Reich- stag, retorted that Dr. Arendt was of as good quality at least as Dr. Koch. The latter thereupon informed his colleagues of his severance from the Economic Union. United States Embassador Edwin F. Uhl has been unabie to obtain a lease of the tesidence formerly occupied by the late the house having already been taken. Mrs. Runyon, with her younger daughters, is now making her home with her married daughter, Mrs. Haskin \ STRIKE MY BESULT, The Reinstatement of Discharged Streetcar Employes Is Demanded. Both Sides Stubborn—Central Labor Union Leaders Advise the Men to Go Slow. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5.— The danger of a strike on the street railway lines of ihis city which are owned by the Metropolitan Street Railwav Company be- cause of the discharge of nine gripmen and a conductor was by no means lessened to-day. The railway employes persist in the assertion that the men were dis- charged because of their activity in the affairs of the local branch of the Amalzamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America, notwithstanding that the Metropolitan Company's officials state that the reason for dismissing the gripmen and conductors was that they had disobeyed the rule pro- hibiting them from etering a saloon dur- ing working bours. % There was some very determined talk in and around Clarendon Hall this eyening by the employees of the railway company, and it was declared that unless the dis- charged men were reinstated there would certainly be a strike. At the meeting of the Central Labor Union in Clarendon Hall this afternoon, a delegation, consisting of one emplove from each of the roads of the Metropolitan system, was present, and asked the privi- lege of the floor. This was accorded in executive session. The spokesman stated the grievance and asked for sympathy and advice. The reporters were informed after the meeting that speakers of the Central Labor Union had counseled the railway men to move very slow, and had very de- cidedly thrown cold water upon the eager- ness of many of them to strike. William D. Makon, president of the National Asso- ciation, is expected to arrive to-morrow from Detroit. It was rumored this afternoon that the officials of the Metropolitan Company had signified their willingness to reinstate four of the men discharged, but it was statea that it was not likely the members of the local union would be satisfied with that. s ) ot i CATTLE QUARANTINE. The Governor of Nebraska Takes Pre- cautions Against Texas Fever, LINCOLN, NEBR., April 5.—Governor Hoicomb has issued the annual guaran- tine proclamation against the importation of cattle from certain districts on account of Texas fever and it goes into effect to- mOrrow. The proclamation forbids the importa- tion of cattle from the guarantined area except under certain rules regulating ship- ment, which are known to shippers and railway officials. This year the quaran- tined district is eniarged by the removal of the boundary line northward so as to take in a larger portion of California and | all of Virginia and North Carolina. All of | Tennessee is placed outside the quaran- tined area, whereas a iarge part of the southwest part of the State wasquaran- | tined last year. A small part of the south~ | east corner of Kansas and one or two adjoining counties in Missouri are no longer in the quarantined area. ! | that even the custom of dueling in the | | possible to settle the differences between | | English shipyard of J.

GENERAL GARCIA HEARD FROM. | Reports the Success of the Bermuda Expadition and a Victory at Finar del Rio. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5.—A special cable to the Herald from Madrid says: | Archer M. Huntington, son of C. P. Hunt- | ington, on being interviewed to-day, said: “Iam positive in my belief that Spain is | right and that her course is perfectly | justifiable in the Cuban affair. In case of | war my sympathies would be with my | native land, yet I earnestly believe the | United States is entirely wrong. “Our interference in the Cuban rebellion is exactly parallel with the interference of { England 1 our civil war. A Cuban re- public is an impossibility. The best class of citizens are Spaniards, and the natives could never govern themselves.” | *“What do you think would be the resuit of a war?” “The United States would win ulti- mately, but Spain would make 2 good | fight. Idon’t think Americans have a right to discuss even the advisability of annexing Cuba at present.” e LANDING OF THE BERMUDA. Desperate Battle Fought to Precent Span- ish Interference. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5.—A cipher dispatch was received to-day by Meyer Stern of 262 West One Hundred and Twenty-third street, private secretary of General Calixto Garcia, a duplicate of which was sent to Mrs. Garcia at her resi- | dence, 256 West One Hundred and Twenty- ninth street, giving a detailed account of the Bermuda expedition to Cuba, | of which General Garcia had charge, and of an important battle which took place in Pinar del Rio, which was disas- | trous to the Spaniards, and which was | fought for the purpose of permitting the | Bermuda to land her small arms and am- munition. The Spaniards lost 800 men, | denied that the Bermuda had landed the cable reads as follows: “‘The Bermuda Janded the heavy part of her cargo at Mariel Bay, which is the nar- | rowest part of the island of Cuba, thirty | miles from Havana. One quarter of the | meén, of whom there were 109, landed at | Bahia Honda. Garcia then consulted with Maceo, and they engaged the spanish troops in Pinar del Rio. ““The Bermuda’s commander wanted to land the big guns on the eastern part of the island, but went west for two reasons— first because the shailow water east would not permit the landing of the big guns while she bad the whole cargo, ana second because they wanted to divert the atten- | tion of the Spaniards so that they would | not watch tiie eastern coasts. ““The battle was fought to prevent detach- ments of Spanish troops from marching to the coast, as they had oeen ordered. Gar- cia has gone to Santiago de Cuba to or- | ganize his army. He started with only 500 men, but at the time this cable leaves he has 5000 volunteers. *‘Carlos Garcia, the general’s son, distin- guished himself at the battle of Pinar del Rio. On our way to Cuba we saw very dis- tinctly the smoke of the Spanish cruiser which followed usfrom New York."” s e CHEEER FOR FEKEE CUBA. FPatriots Invite an Onslaught From a Barcelona Mob. BARCELONA, Spary, April 5.—During the performance of a patriotic play at the Novedades Theater to-day the audience cheered for Spain and Spanish Cuba. Bome voices answered the cheers with cries of *‘Death to Spain!’’;*Long live {ree Cuba!” These treasonable shouts excited the wildest indignation among the loyalists, and it probably would have gone hard with the shouters had they been caught by the people. In the tumult, however, they all escaped but two, who were arrested by the police. One of the prisoners isa Cuban and the other is believed to be an anar- chist. The police had hard work to de- fend the two men from the fury of the crowd. RACING STABLE BURNED Twenty Valuable Horses Perish in a Conflagration at Buffalo. Ellen S, General Ewe!l and Blue Bird Included in the List of Ani. mals Cremated. BUFFALO, N. Y., April 5.—A fire at the Driving Park last night destroyed the stables leased by Alonzo McDonald, the well-known trainer, and nearly a score of valuable horses were burned to death, The fire was caused by the explosion of an oil stove in one of the cleaner’s rooms. There were thirty horses in McDonald’s string, most of which arrived here last Thursday. The most valuable horses burned were: Ellen 8., 2:11%; General Eweli, 2:151;; Eddie Wilkes, 2:27%; Jim Harris, 2:141{; Blue Bird, 3-year-ola gelding; Fonso Bell, 4-year-old gelding, Red Gothard and Miss Charmer, 2:29)4. Eilen 8 was valued at $10,000. The total loss exceeds $75,000. i SR TEMPERANCE WOMEN PROTEST. Will Investigate the Removal of Governor Hughes of Arisona. CHICAGO, IrL., April 5.—A telegram was received yesterday by the officers of the W. C. T. U. from Frances Willard, now in New York City, instructing the local officers to investigate the canse of removal | from office of Governor Hughes of Arizons Despite the fact that the Spaniards have | | If there be no good cause shown for re- and the substitution of B.J. Franklin as | his successor. Miss Willard and other offi- cers of the National W. C. T. U. are warm admirers of the deposed Governor, because of his pronounced stand in the cause of temperance and tbe great interest he takes in measures of reform generally. ‘When asked what courze they intended to pursue in the matter an officer of the society said: “*According to instructions from Mies Willard the National officers of the W. C. T. U. will wire the Interior Department asking for full information as to the cause of the removal, as well as asking that a full investigation in the case be made. We will also notify the presidents of the vari- ous State W. C. T. U. organizations to communicate with their Congressmen, asking them togive the matter their attea- tion as well as a thorough investigation. moval we shall do our utmost to have the deposed Governor returned to his office. Such stanch advocates of temperance should not be cast aside idly. Minnesota has already taken action and Illinois, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsyl- vania will do the same.” = BAD LABOR SQUABBLE. Factional Fights Threatem the Disrup- tion of a Model Unton. PITTEBURG, Pa., April 5. — The op- ponents of Simon Burns, president of the Window-glass Workers’ Association, who was restored to his position Baturday by order of Judge White, intend to renew their fight agsinst him this week. The matter will be placed within the jurisdic- tion of the Assembly Court. The case seems almost certain to destroy the as- sociation, which bas been a model for all trades unions in its uniform success. The Pittsburg members are determined to show that Burns is_incompetent, as charged in the specifications, and that his official acts have been opposed to the good of the organization. 1 they are defeated | in the figit they will quietly witharaw, which will mark the bezinning of the end. The association was made and fostered by Pittsburg iembers, and some of the leaders assert that they will refuse to re- | main if Burns is retained at the head. A SUBSTITUTE FOR WAR Anmerican, Irish and English Car- dinals Suggest a Plan for Peace. Invite Co-Operation in the Establish. ment of a Permanent Tribu- nal of Arbitration. BALTIMORE, Mp., April 5.—His Emi- nence Cardinal Gibbons has given to the United Press an appeal, signed by the American, Irish and Eaglish Cardinals, in behalf of a permanent tribunal of arbitra- tion, with the view of creating new guar- antees for peace thronghout the world asa substitute for war. The appeal is the re- sult of a joint conference 1n which Cardi- nal Gibbons, Cardinal Logue and Cardinal Vaughan bave for some time been en- gaged. The conclusions arrived at by their Eminences are as follows: We, the undersigned Cardinals, representa- tives of the Prince of Peace and of the Catholic chureh in our respective countries, invite all who hear our voice to Co-operate in the forma- tion of & public opinion which shall demand the establishment of & permanent tribunal of arbitration as a rational substitute among the English-speaking races for a resort to the bloody arbitrament war. We are award that such a project is beset with practical aifficulties. We believe that they will not prove to be insuperebie if the de- sire to overcome them be genuine and general. Such a court existed for centuries when the na- tions of Christendom were united in one faith. And have we not seen nations appeal (o that same court for its judgment in our own day? The establishment of a permanent tribunal, composed may be of trusted representatives of each sovereign nation, with power to nomin- ate judges and umpires sccording to the na- | ture of the differences that arise, and common acceptance of general principles defining and limiting the jurisdiction and subject-matter of | such a tribunal, would create guaraniees | for peace that could not fail to influence the whole of Christendom. Such an international court of arbitration would form a second line of defense, to be called into requisition only after the ordinary results of diplomacy had been exbausted, It would at least postpone the outbreak of hos- tilities until reason and common sense nad formally pronounced their last word. This is & matter of which the constitution and pro- cedure must be settled by Governments; but 8§ Governments are becoming more and more identified with the aspirations and molded by the desires of the people, an appeal iu the first instance must be addressed to the people. We do not hesitete on our part to lift up our united voice and proclaim to all who are ac- customed to hearken to our counsels that itis & sign of & divine influence at work in their midst when “Nation shall not lift up sword sgainst nation, neither shall they be exercised &ny more in war” (Isaiah ii:4). Forit was writ- ten of & future time, ‘‘Come ye and behold the work of the Lord, what wonders he hath done upon the earth, making wars to cease even to the end of the earth’” (Psalms iv: 49). Others may base their appeal upon motives which touch your worldly interests, your pros. erity, your world-wide influence and authority n the afiairs of men. The Catholic church recognizes the legitimate force of such motives in the natural order and blesses whatever tends to the real progress and elevation of the race. But our main ground of appesl rests upon the well-known character and will of the Prinee of Peace, the livlnf founder, the diyine head of Christendom. It was he, who declared that love for the brotherhood is a second command- ment like unto the first. It was he who an- nounced to the people the praise and reward of those who seek after peace and pursue it. “Blessed,” said he, “are the peacemakers, for they shall be cafled the children of God. Matt. v, 9.) We therefore earnestly invite all to unite with us in pressing their convictions and de- sires upon their respective Governments by means of petitions and such other measures as are constitutional. JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS, Archbishop of Baltimore. MICHAEL CARDINAL LOGUE, Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of all Ireland, HERBERT CARDINAL VAUGHAN, Archbishop of Westminater. LT LONDON PRESS COMMENTS. The News Indorses the Plan, but the Standard Is Skeptical. LONDON, Exa., April 5.—The News will to-morrow say that the appeal issned by Cardinals Vaughan, Logne and Gibbons in behalf of the establishment of a perma- nent tribunal of arbitration is most desir- able to winning the cause. The Btandard in its issue to-morrow will describe the Cardinals’ appeal as a curions document, saying that in the present state of public opinion in Europe and the world generally the plan is a Utopian dream. Moreover, it is doubtful if any such plan set afoot by the Church of Rome would have a chance of success in Great Britain. B ST GAE THE OLYMPIAN GAMES. Unceiling of a Statwe as a Preliminary.

Believes His Party_Should Not Be Embarrassed by Strife of Candidates. SEEES ONLY ITS APPROVAL. Would Regard an Indorsement of His Financial Policy as Ample Reward. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.—Secre- tary Carlisle this evening gave out the fol- lowing letter to Chairman Long of the Democratic State Central Committee of Kentucky declining to enter the contest for the nomination for the Presidency: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY. % ‘WASHINGTON, April 4, 1896. Charles R. Long, Esq., Chairman Democratic State Central Committce, Louisville, Ky.—MY DEAR S1R: Your favor of March 30, in which You say in substance that many of my friends in Kentucky and elsewhere desiremeto be- come a candidate before the approaching Na- tional Democratic Convention for nomination for the office of President and requesting me to give “some authoritative or definite expres- sion” upon thisquestion was duly received and has been maturely considered. Meny communications upon the same sub- ject and of similar import have been received from friends in different parts of the country, and, while very grateful for these numerous expressions of confidence and esteem upon the part of my Democratic fellow-citizons, I have not been able to reach the conclusion that the existing conditions require me to comply with their requests by authorizing them to sn- nounce me as a candidate for the Presidential nomination. While I feel a profound interest in the welfare of my party, I am much more concerned about its declaration of principles than in its selection of candidates, because. in my opinion, its failure or success at the elec- tion, as well as its capacity for useful service to the country in the future, depend upon the position it takes or omits to take upon the public questions now engaging the attention of the people, and especislly the questious effecting the monetary system of the country and the character and amount of tax- ation to be imposed upon our citizens. Its position upon these and other subjects having been agreed upon and clearly and distinctly announced, the convention ought to have no difficulty in selecting an acceptable candidate | who will fairly represent its views; and in | order that its deliberations may be embar- Tassed as little as possible by the contentions of rival aspirants and their friends, I think my duty to the party will be best performed by declining to participate in a contest for the nomination. The obligations assumed when I accepted my present official position require me to de- vote my entire time and attention to the pub- lic interests committed to my charge, and [ | shell have to continue my discharge of duty as imposed upon me to the best of my ability and in such manner as will, in my judgment, most certainly promote the true interests of the country; and, if in the opinion of my fellow-Democrats in Kentucky my services entitle me 10 their commendation and ap- proval, I woula regard their indorsement of my publice ourse as an ample reward for the little Ihave been able to achieve in behalf of honest administration and a sound financial | olicy. p\\')lh many thanks for your kind letter, I am, very truly yours. . J.G. CARLISLE. BUSY WEEK IN CONGRESS Morgan Will Address the Senate in Favor of His Pacific Railroads Bill. Appropriation Bills to Have Pre- cedence—Peffer Will Inquire Into the Bond Sales. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.—Ap- propriation bills will take precedence in the Senate this week, the postoffice bill now under consideration possibly requir- ing two more days before it can be passed, and the Indian and naval bills will follow. Morgan has given notice that he will take the floor on Tuesday to address the Senate in favor of his Pacificrailroads bill, ‘which gives the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia jurisdiction in all foreclosure suits and similar suits that may be brought in connection with these roads. Peffer will endeavor to press his motion for an investigation of the bond sales, but will not stand in the way of the appropri- ation bills. Meanwhile the Dupont case is still be- fore the Senate, and speeches are yet to be delivered by 8enators Gray, Brown, Chand- ler, Vilas, Palmer and Burrows. Frye has given notice that he will call up the extermination of the fur seals bill. Senators Mantle and Teller desire to de- fend their course in preventing the taking up of the tariff bill. The proposed treaty with Great Britain for the appointment of a commission for the consideration of damages growing out of the seizure of Canadian sealing vessels still remains to be finally acted upon in executive session, the State Department urging the Senate to abandon its intention of amending the text of the convention as submitted. A voteupon the adoption of the Senate resolutions relating to Cuba will be the first item of business in the House this week under the agreement entered into Saturday by which the sessions of that day were given to debate on that subject. The vote is to be taken immediately after the reading of the journal to-miorrow. There is no reason to doubt that the reso- lution will be agreed to by a large ma- jority, although the vote of Friday devel- 0] an unsuspected amount of opposition to any declaration on the subject by Con- gress, and the antagonists of the confer- ence report assert that the vote against its adoption will be largely increased oser the vote cast against the resolutions originally passed by the House. The Cuban matter out of the way, Hooker, chairman of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, will make an effort (to-morrow being suspension day under the rules) to take up the appropriation bill re- ported by bim on Friday, and proceed with its consideration under suspension of the rules. Itisnot the intention, it is ex- plained, to ask the Houso to finally dis- of it within the limited time allowed E: discussion of a bill #0 taken up, but to give a reasonable time for its considera- tion, The determination of this period of ‘‘reasonable time'’ will necessarily be the subject of a unanimous agreement, o that itis impossible 1o forecast now what it will be. Payne, chairman of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, will ask consideration of the bill reported from his committee to abolish the compulsory pilot- age system when the river and harbor bili has been disposed of, and these measures, together with miscellaneous business com- ing up from day to day, it is expected. will occupy the time and attention of the House until the fortifications bill be re- ported to the House. It was stated Friday that this would be ready the latter part of the week and the Appropriation Commit- tee desires that it shall be placed upon its passage as soon as copies of the bill and report have been printed. —_——— 4 GOOD STURY SPUILED, Sensational Newspaper Enterprise That Deserved a Better Fate. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 5.—A sen- sational New York paper published this morning, under a Philadelphia date line, what it alleged to be a confession of the notorious murder, H. H. Holmes. The story was a good one, and was told with an attention to detail that was worthy of Conan Doyle. In the story Holmes is pictured as confessing to the murder of | twenty people, and the manner of these victims' deaths is almost circumstantially ven. g‘The ‘“‘confession’ lacks one essential qualification—it is untrue. About the only foundation i* has, in fact, is that about a week ago one of the young women who are employed upon the reportorial staff of this paper came to Philadelphia and vainly attempted to see Holmes. Samuel” P. Rotan, Holmes’ counsel; Father Daly of the Church of the Annun- ciation, Holmes' spiritual adviser, and Superintendent Perkins of the county prison all deny that there is a word of truth in the alleged confession. Noone could obtain admittance to the county prison without the knowledge of Mr. Per- kins, and Holmes receives and sends no mail that is not first seen by the prison authorities. (LLED 1N 4 PRIERING Amateur Boxers Fight for a $20 Stake and One Receives a Fatal Blow. He Is Struck Upon the Jaw by Chance and Death Results Soon Afterward. HAVERHILL, Mass., April 5.—As the result of a prizetight at Lawrence last evening, Richard Ingram of this city lies dead at Weaver’s undertaking rooms here. Arthur Bradley aud Ingram worked at Chick Brothers’ shoe factory and boarded together on River street. According to Bradley’s story, Ingram had been boasting of his superiority with boxing gloves, and in order to setile the question a fight was arranged for last evening, the prize money being $10 a side. They. with friends, went to South Lawrence, where the fight came off in a barn. The fizht lasted thirty minutes when, it is said, Bradley gave his opponent a chance blow on the vein under the right | jaw, which laid him on the floor. Up to that time Bradley had had the worst of | the fight. Ingram recovered conscious- ness for a minute and said: “Hold on! What are you doing that for?” These were his last words. - He relapsed into unconsciousness, in which condition he was brought to the house of his brother where he died two hours later. The police arrested Bradley, Duncan McRae, Thomas Gibney, Fred " Whittier and Archibald McIntosh. This afternoon James A. Packer, Frank Donover and Ralph Me- serve gave themselves up, as they were present at the fight. Later the men, with the exceotion of Gibney, were taken to Lawrence. Those arrested will be ar- raigned to-morrow morning—Bradley on the charee of manslaughter. LAWRENCE, Mass.,, April 5.—Loecal officers have arrested James Gilligan, who is #aid to have been the timekeeper at the Ingr am-Bradley prizefight last night. Charles Pryckett, a_hostler employed at the stable who is £aid to have let the place for the fight, and Thomas Ahern, another hostier at the stable, were also arrested. It is said that email gloves were used in the fight and that nine rounds were fought. A Ll ARION CRITICALLY SICK. The Stallion Attacked by Pneumonia. Nancy Hanks Has a Daughter. MILTON, Mass., April 5.—The stallion Arion, by Electioneer, dam Mannette by Nutwood, is critically sick from pneumo- nia at the stables of his owner, J. Malcolm Forbes, at this place.
