The air of excitement about the French ulate, where several clerks and rep- recentatives of a law firm were engaged hours in drawing up the papers, leads to the belief that definite knowledge had been secured as to the hiding place of the alieged swindlers, In its inception the plot to borrow money on the estate of a fictitiour New York millionaire was one of the boidest on record.

FREMONT, Neb., May 24.—A series of funnel-shaped elouds swept around this town this afternoon and moved toward Hooper, twelve miles west, giving the people a bad scare. The storm which fol- lowed their appearance was terrific and blew down several barns and small build- ings, but so far as learned no lives were lost or any person injured. Communica- tion with outside towns was cut off for some time by lightning interfering with the wires, and led to alarming but un- true reports being sent out from the raii- road offices. ATCHISON, Kans.,, May 24.—A strong windstorm passed over this section this morning, doing mucn damage. In North Atchison several smali buildings were blown over and many trees were uproot- ed, while in the country northeast of Atchison outbuildings, barns and win- dows were demolished and several churches were partially wrecked. At the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home the roof of the main building and one wall of the hos- pital were caved in. No one was injured. The wind was accompanied by a deluge, which washed out several small bridges and damaged crops. — ELK CITY, Okle., May 24.—The worst hail- storm of Rogers Mills County prevailed last night.

BUDAPEST, May 24.—At to-day’s ses- sion of the Hungarian delegation, Pre- mier Coloman de Szell made a long speech in defense of the triple alliance. He sald he could not share in the view that the understanding with Russia rendered the alliance ~superfluous, but he thought | rather that it was the continuation of the alliance which promoted the entente with the Rusian empire. Replying to questions, the Premier said it was untrue that at the conference at Venice between Signor Prinetti, the Ital- ian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Count von Buelow, the German Imperial Chan- cellor, it had been determined to continue in its entirety the commercial treaties with Italy, especially the clause relating to wine duties. The text of the treaty between the three powers forming the alliance would not be ublished, Premier de Szell said, it hav- ng been mutually agreed to maintain sec- recy regarding its detalls.

NEW YORK, May 24.—There was a full attendance at the Presbyterian General Assembly to-day when United States Sen- ator Beveridge of Indiana and the Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, came to convey to the assem- bly the good will and greétings of the Methodist Episcopal church. Vice Mod- erator Noyes occupied the chair. Dr. Buckley, the first speaker, was re- ceived with great applause. He reviewed the history of the Presbyterians and the Methodists, and laid great stress on the doctrines they held in common. ““Times are out of joint,” Dr. Buckley sald in closing. ‘‘Protestantism cannot be maintained in our age except by great organization; but 1 say to you that the Presbyterian church and the Methodist Episcopal church in the United States hold within them great potentiality for the extension of the doctrines of evan- gelical Christianity. Let ug stand as neighboring rocks against the growing evil of agnosticism that is brought to us under modern names and under new guises, and against the doctrines dissem- inated by the followers of the old man in Rome, and, not the least, against the cor- rosive fluid—the materialistic spirit of the age.” VALUE OF CHURCHES. Senator Beveridge said in part: 3 “I have always felt that denominations are a good thing. Denominations give to men of different temperaments an oppor- tunity to work in spheres congenial to themselves and to focus their efforts on the same aim. As to its civic side, the church is a great conservator of public morals. Destroy the churches and you will destroy the Government. The flag and the cross are alike in one respect— they never retreat. You may témporarily close a church here, a flag may be with- drawn there, but only in order to advance more permanently their interest. They have one common purpose—the cross to advance Christianity, the flag to make this Christlan country the greatest power on earth.” The Rev. Dr. Amos Boyce conveyed to the assembly the greetings of the Presby- terlan church of Mexico, where the work ‘was begun by the board of home missions of the Presbyterlan church, United States of America. " He said the church of Mex- ico might adopt the revised creed. The Rev. George D. Matthews, In con- veying the greetings of the eastern sec- tion of the Alliance of Reformed Churches, spoke about the persecutions of Protest: ants in Russia. The Rev. Dr. Willlam H. Roberts conveyed the greetings of the ‘western section of the Alliance. CITIES IN RIVALRY. There was a discussion of the next meeting place of the General Assembly. Invitations came from Los Angeles, through the Emanuel Presbyterian Church of that place, and from Cleve- land, Ohio. The invitations were pre- sented by the Rev. Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, who is also chairman of the committee on meeting places. Dr. Rob- erts explained that to take the trip to Los Angeles would cost the General As. sembly in mileage alone $70,000 and to Cleveland $24,000, while all that the Gen- eral Assembly has in its treagury that is available for muu%md expenses for the ensuing year i8 , 80 that if the bl decide on Los eles PELEE'S ERUPTIONS MAY LAST FOR CENTURIES |Steamship Helga Is Menaced by the Tidal Wave.

Japanese had attended the lectures upon jurisprudence for several terms at the| Strassburg University, and finally pre- sented himself as a candidate for the doc- tor's degree. The professor, who did not pared, tried vainly to dissuade him from prematurely attempting the examination. The Japanese was eventually plucked. The same day he packed his luggage and left Strassburg in high dudgeon for home, Some time after the professor received a letter from a youthful relative of the Japanese, informing him that the family of his late student was unable to support the humiliation that the professor had brought upon it, and that on a certain day, which he named, they would put an end to their existence. They therefore called upon him to do them the satisfac- | tion of committing suicide on the same day as themselves. Later information from Japan shows that the family kept | their word, but the professor sees no rea- | son why he should follow their example. | New York Mail and Express. | | .-l-H—Pl*H—l*i—l—l—l—H—i—H-H—!—l-l—l-.! erts said it would necessary to increase| the assessments. 1 The Rev.

The | Rev. Dr. Samuel Speyer of Cleveland also | spoke in behalf of his city. The question went over until Monday and the assem- | bly adjourned. ADVERTISEMENTS. r CURES WEAK MEN FREE.
