Will Probably Be Detailed as Military Attache at Vienna, Opportunities to Bs Given Officers to Go Abroad—New Rules for Promotion. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—The Army and Navy Register says: A report is current at ihe War Department that President McKinley will revoke the order issued by the last administration which provides for the retirement of Major Dar- ling, Third Artillery, Presidio of San Franelsco, 1n June. Prominent friends of Major Darling are urging this, it is under- stood, and have earnestly requested that the major be detailed as military attache of the United States legation at Vienna. A few days ago it was said at the War De- partment that Secretary Alger had de- clined to order Major Darling to Vienma. It is now said that the Secretary is on the point of reconsidering his action and of recommending that the order of retire- ment be revoked and that the major be ordered to Austria, = Secretary Sherman has revoked an or- oer of his predecessor which is of interest to army officers contemplating a trip abroad. When Mr. Olney was Secretary of State he issued an order providing that hereaiter the State Department will issue special passports requested by the War Department to officers going abroad, when such passports are to be put to uses tend- ing to increase the efficiency of the mili- tary service, and not for the purpose of purely private or personal convenience. Practically the order put a stop to officers going abroad, except in cases where they were sent officially by the War Depart- ment. It deprived them of opportunities afforded in Europe of obtaining military knowledze beneficial to themselves and important to the Government. Very nat- urally, many complants were made by officers against the order, but Secretary Oiney refused to rescind it. On Monday Secretary Alger represented to Secretary Sherman that it was advisa- ble to rescird the Olney orderand to make it impossible for officers of the army, more particulariy at the present time, to ob- tain special passports. The reason for this was so obvious that Secretary Sher- man acted favorably upon the suggestion. Hereafter when the War Department reques:s that special passporls be issued to officers they will be made out. The new order from the State Department will say that special passports will be granted army officers when application for them is made by the Secretary of War. A scheme is under consideration at the War Department which proposes to make more uniform and consistent regulations relative to the examinution of officers of the army for promotion. All officers of the army are aware of the fact ihat there is now a lack of uniformity in this direc- tion. Toe examination of officers of the line differs in manner from that of officers of the ordnance corps. and that of officers of that corps is not such as is directed for members of the signal corps, nor do the rules for the examination of staff officers conform to the system prescribed for the line in many particulars. Thne ideg of the officials seems to be todraw up rezula- tions which will more specifically define the order of the examinations, possibly to modify the scope somewhat, but more particularly to provide in what subjects thers shall be an oral examination, in Wwhat written examination, etc. Adjutant-General Ruggles bas the sub- ject under advisement. 1t is understood that he will shortly submit to Secretary Alger a proposed order in the case. Gen- eral Ruggles, since the existing law went into effect, has given the matter of the examination of officers careful considera- tion. As a result of study and inquiry, he is especialiy well informed a% to the requirements. No radical changes in the regulations are contemplated. The prop- osition being considered looks sspecially i0achange in the regulations which wiil insure greater uniformity in methods. Attoruey-General McKenna has decided that a chapel cannot be builton the Mili- tary Academy r.servation by the Catholic church. In an opinion forwarded to the Secre- ary of War Judge McKenna considers the legal questions invo'ved in the matter. His conclusion is in effsct thatno corpora- tion, dencmination, etc., has the right to pre-empt parts of GOVernment reserva- tions. Private William T. Walton, Battery I, Third Artillery, now at Angel Island, Cal., is transferred to the Hospital Corps as a private. Upon the receipt of this order at the post the commanding officer will order him to Teport (o the surgeon for duty at the hospital. Lieutenant George O. Squier, Third Artillery, is here on a leave of absence. WILL FAVOE 1HE KAILEOADS. Bryan’s Losing Fught in the United States Suprems Court. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—There is a ramor in circulation that on Monday the United States Supreme Court will render a decision in the famous Nebraska freight-rate case, and that the decision will be in favor of the railroads. This is the case in which W. J. Bryan appeared as counsel and argued for the State and against the railroads. The decision is one of vastimportance in all parts of the country, for it will de- cide whether State Legislatures have the right to arbitrarily fix railroad rates. A g o Miles to Be at the Jubiles. WASBHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—The President had a talk with Secretary Aiger to-day about fending an army officer to represent the United States at the Queen’s jubilee. They selected General Mi Orders were telegraphea him at Cousta t;nople to be in London at the proper time. e VICTURIA PEENSED THE BUTTON. And Then Followed the Great Celebra- tion at Sheffiela, LONDON, Exc., May 22.—Queen Vic- toria’s brief visit to Sheffield this after- noon was made the occasion of a great demonstration of loyalty and affection for the venerable sovereign. Business was entirely suspended throughout the day, and through the judicious expenditure of $50,000 sppro- pristed by the municipal authorities and subscribed by the citizens, the smoky town was for the time transformed into fairyland. Triumphal flower ches spannel a score of streets, and the fronts of business and residence structures were almost hidden from view by artistic floral de- signs or bunting. Her Majesty and suite left Winasor on the new royal irain this morning and reached the Midland rail- ation shortly after 5 o’ clock. - rted by a detachment of regulars, a regiment of yeomanry and two companies of the local volunteers, her jesty was driven to the new town hall. Here, with- out leaving her carriage, she received loyal addresses of greeting from the cor- voration, the Cutlers’ Company and the Town Trustees. A keyboard was then placed in her Majesty's lap, 8 wire leading irom the doors of the town hall attached thereto, and with a press of her thumb upon the electric button the big doors opened inwardly on their hinges, while cannon boomed and the immense crowd cheered itself hoarse. Although a frequent occurrence in the United States, this was the first time that the Queen had brought electricity to her aid in performing a public function, and the aged sovereign manifested great inter- estin what she appeared to rezard as a re- markable feat, After declaring the town hall dedicated, her Majesty was driven by a circuitous route to Norfolk Park, where 50,000 chil- dren were gathered and sang the national anthem upon her approach. Here she was formally welcomed by the Duke of hl:!ol:‘folk. who this year is Mayor of Shef- eld. From the park the procession passed over the other main thorouzhfares to the works of Charles Campbell & Co., where she witnessed from her carriage—the horses having first been detached—the rolling of an armor plate and other pro- cesses. Meanwhile the royal train bad been shunted to a special platform outside of the mill and at 7 o’clock, her visit having lasted two hours, the journey north to Balmoral was resumed. It is estimated that between 500,000 and 600,000 people were on the streets, and the most intense enthusiasm was manifested wherever the Queen made her appear- ance. Earlier in the day and again this evening 50,000 children were entertained by the Duke of Norfolk, who al:o dis- yensed hospitality to several thousand voor and aged people. —_—— CANADIAN K ILRVOAD A¥FAIRS. The Gorernment Decides on a Ihrough Zine to This Coast, OTTAWA, Caxapa, May 22.—It is an- nounced that the Dominion Government has definiteiy declined to grant a bonus to the Columbia and Western railway sys- tem for an extension to Penticton from the present terminus of the line. The Gov- ernment has determined on a through iine, the Crows Nest Pass road to goto the coast. The way is now clear for the completion of arrangements with the Canadian Pacific for a line from Crows Nest Pass to Rossland, and the chief points of this arrangement have been de- cided upon. Sir William Van Horne is expected here at an early day to finally close the matter. The Canadian Pacific p-ople have fought hard against the terins of the Government as being too onerous, but have decided to make the best of what was offered rather than see their territory occnpied by com- panies affiiiated with the United States roads. iy Mok ELECTION KIOT IN AUSTRIA, Men Killed and Thirty-One Wounded by Troops.

MADRID, SpaIN, May 22.—The Duke of Tetuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has withdrawn his resignation, which he tendered yesterday aiter the altercation in the lobby of Parliament with Comas. The withdrawal is due to the fact that Canovas desires bin?to rémain at his post while important international guestions demand immediate attention. COXEY Planning Another Move on Washington by the Unemploped. MASSILLON, Onto, May 22.—‘General” J. 8. Coxey, not discouraged by his expe- rience of a few years ago, is talking of get- ting up another army of unemployed to move upon Washington. His previous fiasco is still fresh in the minds of all, and it is a matter of general surprise that he contemplates repealing an experiment that must end in the same way. Coxey, however, professes to be confi- dent that a march on the Capitol at this time would be a success. He says: *‘The new administration has now bad nearly three months in which to redesm its pledges that it would bring ymldpcrily to the country &nd it hus failed todoso. I: now becomes necessary to again mass the bankrupt people of the country in Wash- ington, not to petition but to demand that such legislation will be enacted as will change the existing trade conditions and bring prosperity once more to the work- ingman.” Coxey says that if he decides to organ- ize a new army it will be a far more effect- ive and larger one than its predecessor, and that it will reach Washington in far better shape, S RECEIVES A SILVER SERVICE, Giftof the City of (hurches to the Cruiser Brookiyn. BROOKLYN, N. Y,, May 22.—The new armored cruiser Brooklyn was this after- noon the recipient of a silver service, the gift of the people of the City of Churckes, who thus testify their appreciation of the honor of being represented on the high seas by an American warship. The ceremonies attendant upon the presentation took place in the main cabin of the Brooklyn, the United States being represented by the captain and officers of the cruiser and the city of Brooklyn by the Mayor, Aldermen and high officials, The Brooklyn, which is considered one of the most efficient of recent additions to the navy, will prooably remain at this port until she sails for England to repre- sent the United States at tne Queen’s jubilee celebration. Although no orders have been received relating to her trip abroud, her officers state that she is ready to sail at a moment’s notice. WILL TRY AGAIN, e CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE WORK.

STERLING, Ivri., May 22.—The increas- ing strength and popularity of the tem- perance movement among the members of the Catholic church was well-attested to- day by the unusually large number of delegates and visitors to the ananual con- vention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of Illinois, which will be inaugur- ated to-moriow. Special trains have been chartered for the accommodation of the visitors, par- ticulary those who will spend Sunday only at the convention. The gathering will remain in session three days. Plans will be formulated for a vigorous revival of temperance work at the various sume. mer meetings of the different Catbolic or- ganizations. d fR Sl Andiana Women Get a Selbaok.

Brought Diamonds and Jew- elry Worth Thousands of Dollars. Plead Ignorance of Customs Laws and Say They Were Concealed for Safety. NEW YORK, N. Y., May M. Scruges, head of the Scrug;: voort & Barney Dry Goods Company of St. Louis, one of the wealthiest ary-goods businesses in the West, was arrested yes- terday along with E. J. Langhorne, by custom inspectors of the American line pier. The vprisoners had just arrived on the St. Paul, and had declared that the value of their dutiable baggage did not ex- ceed $25. As Langhorne, who is asto- ciated in business with Scruggs, was start- ing down the gangplank one of the in- spectors noticed his waistband bulging peculiarly. He was searched and so was his companion. On Langhorne was found a linen belt containing jewelry, which the Custom-house officers estimated to be worth $2500. It ccnsisted of watcnes and diamonds. In Scruggs’ pockets were found more jewelry, all of which was seized. After they had been searched they were taken before United States Commissioner Shields. They made no attempt to deny their possession of the jewelry and waived examination. Each was held in $2500 bail. Scruggs sad later: “I was told in London and Paris, where I bought these articles of jewelry to bring home to some of my friends, that I would not be required to pay duty on presents. I was careful to ask this at every store. had never been to Europe before and koew nothing about such matters. The entire value of what I bought would not exceed $1400. I was told on the steamer by various passengers that presents were not dutiable. Langhorne put them intoa belt which he had worn all through our trip, because he thought they would be safer than in our trunks. He carried the funds for our trip all the time, and as we drew our money in gold the belt was bought to hold the money.” Scruggs is vice-president of the Inter- national Sunday-school Union, is some- what over 70 years of age and well known for his charity. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 22.—The news of Scruggs’ arrest created tue utmost sur- prise in commercial, social and religious circles, in which Scruggs has for fifty years enjoyed the greatest respect. Scruggsisa multi-millionaire and has been identified with every movement that contributed to St. Louis' greatness as a municipality. He is notéd for his devotion to religious and benevolent work. He is one of the pillars of the Southern Methodist Chureh, a director of the St. Louis Exposition and a director of the State Bank of 8t. Louis, one of the strongest financial institutions in Missouri. Charles E. Barney, vice-president ot the Scruggs, Vandervoorl & Barney Dry Goods Company, was 8o shocked when the tele- gram was shown him that he could hardly spesk. He denounced the arrest as an outrage. 3 UNIQUE ¢EREMONIAL, Ashes of a Former 8t. Lowis Citizen to Be Scattered tothe Winds. ST.

CONSPIRED 10 COMMIT MURDERA |Most Sensational Cage of Two Well-Known Pennsylvanians. Attempts Made to Blow Up the Residence of Levi Waller. Po!son and Diph‘heria Germs Also Employed In Vain to Remove a Troublesome Litigant. BLOOMSBURG, Pa, May since the trial and conviction here in 1 of Hester, Tully and McHugh, ) Maguires, for the murder of Alexax Rea has there been a case that attracteq so much attention as that against Lioyd S. Wintersteen, a prominent attorney, and Clifton Knorr, son of a leading lawyer ana citizen now deceased, which will come up for trial next Tuesday. They are accused of attempting to blow up ex-Representa- tive Levi Waller's residence with dyn mite on the night of September 10 last. After Knorr’s arrest at Reading on Christmas day he turned State’s evidence and created a profound sensation by alleg- ing that Wintersteen, who is a well- known member of the Columbia County bar and president of one and director of two or three other local industrial con- cerns, was the prime mover in an attempt upon the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Waller and the latter's parents, Hon. and Mrs. Charles R. Buckalew, who formed part of the Waller househoid. Knorr said that Wintersteen offered him $3000 to place dynamite beneath the porch and blow up the house. On this confession he and Wintersteen were indicted February 2 by the Grand Jury under seven separate bills, charging them with several forms of at- tempts to kill. The case was continued until the May term, bail in §7000 being required of each. At that time Knorr made another state- ment, charging that while acting under the directions of Wintersteen he not only put an explosive under Waller’'s porch, but had previously sought to shoot Waller with a revoiver. More sensational than this, however, were Knorr’s seli-confessed attempts to put his own stepmother out of the way by the introduction of poison in her tea and by blacing diphtheria germs among her clothing. The wit- nesses who wiil be produced in support of the latter charge are Mrs. Mary Knorr, the intended victim, and Nora Boharter, a girl employed as a domestic by Mrs, Knorr. Two attempts were made to poi- son the woman, and both failing, a plot was concocted to secure diphiheria ba- cilli for the purpose. This also failed. The commonwealth’s atiorneys know where the poison was purchased, bave the revolver, know where the diphtheria germs were purchased. and possess letters sent to Knorr by Wintersteen during the time the former alleges they were working their murderous scheme. The motive alleged for Wintersteen's desireto getrid of Mrs. Knorr or Waller was to end a suit in equity filed by Mrs. | Knorr, charging Wintersteen with mis- management in the settiement of Colonel Knorr's estate. Tha colonel, who died in 1889, had been Wintersteen's law partner, and Wintersteen was made executor. It is expected there will be a big legal battle when the case is called for trial. No less than 150 witnesses have been subpenaed. NEW TO-DAY. SLOANE'S CARPLTS. Choice line of Tapestry Brussels At 63 cents per yard, Mottled Moquettes and Axminsters At 80 cents per yard.
