HE SAYS HE HAS A DOUBLE, He Was About to Jump Over the Railing Into the River When Stopped by an Officer-He Was Violent After His Arrest. New Yobk, Not. 18. Until his sanity can be tested Cyrus AY. Wadsworth of Al bany will be held a prisoner in Morrisania.

He was arraigned in the police court there to-day and though seemingly rational his actions had been so peculiar it was deemed best not to release him. An officer about midnight saw Wadsworth on the Harlem river bridge in animated conversation with himself. He dashed his hat viciouslv on the btidge and jumped on it several times. Not satisfied with this he drew a pistol and fired two shots at it Jerking off his coat he ran towards the railing jump over it when the officer grabbed him. What are you about asked the officer.

"I've got a double," excitedly replied Wadsworth. "He has been following me around for months collecting money in my name and signing receipts and making me an sorts of trouble. "What did you shoot your hat for?" "I saw him sitting on it and 1 though I'd better kill him and get him out of the way." After having been taken to the station Wadsworth was quite violent but in court he explained i that his wife and child had died recently, and since theri he had been so despondent at times that he did not know what he was about COMMODORE RAMSAY'S REPORT. He Recommends a Reorganization of the Personnel of the Navy. Washington, Nov.

18. Commodore Ramsay, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy, says that twenty-two officers are now attending the Naval War College and Torpedo School, which has just been com pleted and opened at Coasters Harbor Island, Newport, R. Under the terms of the new postal subsidy act twenty Ameri can steamships have been inspected, tested for speed and classified with a view to their possible use for naval purposes in time of war. During the past fiscal year 908 men and S52 apprentices deserted, most of them in home ports. Prizes amounting to $4,245 were paid to enlisted men for proficiency in target practice during the year.

Touching the personnel of the service, Commodore Ram3ay says "The efficiency of the service demands that some changes shall be made in its personnel in order that the number of officers in the different grade3 shall be in keeping with the duties now required of them, and with the character and number of vessels composing the Navy. 'These changes are particularly needed in the line and in the Engineer Corps, but as special legislation for different corps is detrimental to the morale of the service, it is earnestly recommended that the neces sary action be taken to ettect a systematic reorganization of the entire personnel of the Navy." Among the enclosures in Commodore Ramsay's report is the report of Superintendent Pythian of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. He says that particular attention is now being paid to systematizing the branch of physical training, the object in view being the best symmetrical physical development of each cadet. He recommends that power be given by statute to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy to order courts oi inquiry tor the investi gation of serious offences committed by naval cadets. It has been tound ditncult to establish the guilt of those who commit the two gravest offences hazing and gouging and failure to detect and bring to punishment offenders of this class has an injurious effect upon the discipline of the Academy.

It is also recommended that the limits of age of admission to cadets be fixed at from 14 to 18 years. Captain Bunce, who is in charge, ot tne Naval Training Station, makes an interesting and encouraging report upon the workings of the apprentice system He says The work of training the apprentices has been conducted with the greatest zeal and intelligence by the officers of the division, and with such success as to make certain that the changes introduced in the systam of training have been beneficial. The objects sought have been attained, responsibility is. fixed, an accurate knowledge of each apprentice is obtained, and the bad material of each division can be removed before mischief is done. Emulation in drills, exercises, and even conduct has arisen between divisions, benefiting all." During the fiscal year 789 apprentices were received at the station.

There is said to be need for suitable quarters for officers, men and apprentices, and plans for such, based on the Army Training Station at Fort Riley, Kansas, are submitted. The estimates submitted for the maintenance of the naval service aggresate $668,238, including $279,488 for the Naval Academy, and in addition there is an estimate of $121,661 for the Navigatian Bureau.

It is tiie best LATE FOREIGN NEWS. A Slight Accident to Premier Gladstone in London Yesterday- A GLIMPSE AT THE QUEEN The London Financial News Publishes an Intenvlew With Senator Jones, One of the American Delegates to the Monetary Conference. London, Nov. Mr. Gladstone was crossing Picadilly last evening he stepped under the heads of a team of horses attached to an omnibus that was swinging around a corner.

The driver pulled the horses back upon their haunches. Mr. Gladstone was walking rapidly, and to this is due the fact that he escaped injury. The horses, or the pole, struck him a slight blow upon the shoulder. -He staggered a short distance, then recovered himself and escaped to the pavement A Glimpse at England's Queen.

London, Nov. 18. The Queen arrived at Windsor Castle from Balmoral this morning. Rumors that her health was failina: attracted an unusually large number of people to the railway station. They desired to see for themselves if, tha Queen showed any signs of the ill health rumor credited her with.

The people of Windsor, who are accustomed to seeing her, agree that she looked to be in the best of health. She walked erectly and alert through the station to her carriage. Princess Beatrice accoua-panied her. Dragged Through- the Street by Chinese fanatics. 18.

The Standard's Shanghai correspondent gives Bishop Hughes' account of a Chinese attack made at Ngan-tinghsien Shenhi in August upon him and an Englishman belonging to the French Franciscans mission. The Bishop says that in revenge for his attempt to get redress for a former outrage a horde of fanatics dragged him through a public street and then, after stoning him, left him for dead. The local officials took steps to punish the ring leaders, but unless the European Gov ernments act with vigor, there will be no safety for Europeans in China away from the treaty ports. Senator Jones on The Currency Question. London, Nov.

18. The Financial News publishes an interview with Senator Jones, one of the American delegates "to the Monetary Conference. Senator Jones savs the people in the United States appreciate the vital importance of the currency question, while in England many people are ignorant of the rudiments of the matter. There is hardly an American elector who has not formed an intelligent opinion on the subject. It had a most important influence on the last elec tion.

In replv to a question as to whether the Democrats would introduce a free coinage bill in Congress, Senator Jones said: "Yes, they are bound to. The Times affirms that a majority of the new House of Representatives are opposed to free coinage. leel sure mat this is erroneous. On the contrary, there is a two-thirds majority in its favor. It was among the Democrats of the last House that the supporters of free coinage were found.

If you trace thesd men to their constituencies you will find that they have been re-elected. Whether a free coinage bill is introduced by the Democrats and whether it passes or not, are different matters. Mr. Cleveland himself is against free coinage. It is just to question how far the Democrats will feel the influence of his personality.

A great mass of the people are bent on free coinage. hv should free coinage tend to depreciate the silver currency We hear from Indian officials much about the depre ciation of silver in India, but the In dian gets as much for a rupee in commodities as he ever got, It is not silver that depreciates it is gold that appreciates- We hear about great stocks of silver. AVhere are they? When you talk of grain or po. troleum you can substantiate your statements. I want the same done in the case of silver." To be no Papal Legation at Washington Rome, Nov.

There Were Forty Covers Laldr-The Sp-T of the President-elect. New- York, Not. 18. Henry Villard last night gave a dinner to President-elect Cleveland. It was strictly private, and af Mr.

Villard's request no information was given to the press. There were forty coven laid. Mr. Villard's idea was to make the dinner as informal as possible. Among those present were Mr.

Cleveland, Don M. Dickinson, William P. Sheehan, William Steinway. Daniel S. Lamont William L.

Wilson of West Virginia, ail of whom made speeches, Mr. Cleveland's Speech. New York, Not. 18. The speech of Grover Cleveland at the dinner given' by Henry Villard last night has just been made public It was in part as follows Mr.

Villard and Gentlemen I find it impossible to rid myself at this moment of the conflicting emotions which stir within me. I see here assembled good and stanch friends who have labored incessantly and devotedly for the iucccss which has crowned Democratic effort in the canvass just closed; and I cannot forget how greatly these efforts have been characterized by persona! attachment and friendship for the candidate selected to carry the Democratic banner. This awakens a sense of gratitude which it is a great pleasure for me to thankfully acknowledge. I should not, perhaps, introduce anything sombre on this occasion, but I know you will forgive me when I say, that every feeling of jubilation and even my sense of gratitude is so tempered as to be almost entirely obscured by a realization, nearly painful, of the responsibility I have assumed in the sight of the American people. When I consider all we have to do as a party charged with the control of the Government, I feel that our campaign, instead of being concluded, is but just begun.

If we see nothing in our victory but a license to reVel in partisan we shall fail at every point. If we merely profess to enter upon our work. and if we make apparent endeavor to do it as a cover "for seeking partisan advantage. we shall invite contempt and disgrace, if, we attempt to discharge our duty to the people without complete party harmony ir patriotic action, fe shall demonstrate our -incompetency. 1 thank God that far above all doubt anr misgivings we mav see the constant lizhU oi hope and safety.

The light we see the illumination from the principles of true honest and 'pure Democracy showing th way in all times of danger and leading ui to the fulfillment of political duty and the redemption of all our pledges. Let us not be misled to our undoing by other lights ol false Democracy whicjhjmay be kindled in broken faith and shining in hypoo risy, wilL if followed, lure us to the rocki of failure and disgrace. My belief in our principles and my faith in our party constitute my trust that wc shall answer the expectations of our countrymen and shall raise high aloft the stand ard of true Democracy, to fix the gaze oi many years to come of a prosperous, a nappy sad contented people.

A serious out break among the Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes in the Indian Territory is threatened, and men familiar with their ways declare unless prompt action is taken by the Gov eminent 3,300 redskins will be on the war path by January 1. Since July 1 the Government has been giving the reds only half rations because the Indians were expected to aid in their own support by cultivating their lands, The efforts of the red men in this direction has been a miserable failure on account of their ignorance of husbandry and thousands of them are in actual dis tress. The ghost dance has been in prog ress since the appearance of Sitting Bull's ghost. Ihe Indians believe they were swindled by unscrupulous white men in the sale of their lands, and their feeling toward the Government is one of intense hatred. Washington, Nov.

18. The Indian officials have as yet received no information of threatened trouble among the Cheyenne and Arapahoes in Oklahoma other than newspaper reports. A telegram sent to the agent a day or two ago asking for information has so far elicited no response. A telegram has been received at the Indian Office from Agent Waugh of the Uintah and Ouray agency in Utah, stating that in compliance with instructions he had sent out scouts and runners with orders to the Utes now on a huntihg expedition in Colorado to return at once to their reservation. This action was taken at the request of Gov.

Routt of Colorado, who expressed his fears that trouble would ensue if the Indians were longer permitted to Tun at large through that state. THE CATHOLIC CONFERENCE Is is Prolonged Unexpectedly The School Question An Address. New York, Nov. 18. The conference of Catholic Archbishops was continued yesterday.

No details of the subjects discussed or the results already reached were given out for publication. It is considered' significant, in view of the general impression that the members of the conference would conclude their labors in one day, that it was found necessary to extend the period of its deliberations. The causes undoubtedly are the delicate points involved in the discussion of the relations between the state and the parochial schools. It was learned at the Archepiscopal resi dence that the conference would certainly continue to-day, and might possibly not reach a final adjournment until Saturday. It is now stated that a preliminary address will be given to the public at the conclusion of these ecclesiastical Father Lavelle is not prepared to say when it will be ready.

ne parochial school question is still under considera tion. Archbishop Ireland was the first to leave the conference last night It is well known that his attitude on the school question is one of the most important sub jects discussed in the conference. Upon tne result oi mis cciesiasucai garnering will depend largely the future influence of Archbishop Ireland for the advancement of popular education, particularly in his Northwestern diocese.

THE EARTH AND BIELAS'S C0XET Astronomer Colbert Says They Will Come Into Collision Possible Results. Chicago, Nov.

18. Will the earth and and Biela's comet come into collision Prof. a well known astronomer, says they wilL But it islhe 'tail of the comet that will be knocked into smithereens by the earth, while the head, 1,000,000 miles away, will continue its vagrant career. Prof. Colbert outlines some startling possibilities should old earth come full tilt against the crest of the com He says Death to human beings because of collision with a comet might occur in more than one way.

First, there is the direct contact, of which some pretty well authenticated instances are on record. Seeond, there is the indirect mortality on a much larger scale that may be conceived of as possible from a poisoning of the atmosphere by admixture of great quantities of gaseous matter that had belonged to the comet Some people have argued that only in this way can we satisfactorily account for some of the pestilent visitations, such as the famous "black death" which have swept the earth as with the besom of destruction in the past, and moved from place to place far more rapidly than could be explained by reference to the, slow travelling of former days. Neither the aerolitio shower-nor the poisoning of "the air can occur except from collision with the head of the comet, and the calculation shows we are to be spared that by a gap of about a million miles. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. There Were Lengthy And Animated Dls-' cussions in St.

Loais Yesterday. St. Louis, Nov. 18. In the session of the General Assembly Knights of Laboj yesterday a proposition to reduce the term of service of general officers to one year was voted down.

A lively discussion arose over a proposition to reduce the nujjiber of members of the General Executive Board. Some delegates favored an increase of the members to six, but both propositions were defeated and the number remains at four. The matter of the eligibility of ex-representatives to office caused considerable debate, and the proposal to make them eligible was voted down. Considerable of the report of the committee on law was continued after the noon recess. The first discussion arose upon a proposition to allow the formation of national trade assemblies of less than ten local assemblies.

This brought up the old question of the merits and demerits of the national trade assembly method of organization. It was finally decided that while the law should remain as it is so far as national trade assemblies already in exist ence are concerned, no new ones will be organized with less than ten local A proposition was made to allow a district assembly by a two-thirds vote to order a local assembly to withdraw any or all of its delegates. This gave rise to a lengthy and animated debate, but was finally rejected by vote of 68 to 40. Making Money While it Can. New Orleans, Nov.

Long, Not. 18. The Army of the Tennessee was called to arms yesterday by the clerical son of "Old Tecumseh," who appealed to the old comrades of his father to rescue from the possession of the labor organizations the monument of Gen. Sherman, which the striking granite cotters at Westerly, refuse to allow to be re moved to the West. It all came about in the ordinary proceed- rogs of the reunion, but quite in an unez pected way.

The Society of the Army of the Tennessee had just been called to order, and, at the suggestion of one of the Teterans who, not unnaturally, regard the eons of iheir ex-Commander as the wards of the society, the Rev. Thomas E. Sherman was invited to address the meeting. The priest of the Church of Rome, attired in the conventional garb of his order, spoke or a few minutes with great feeling of the affection which the children of General Sherman entertained for the survivors of his father's old command, and then he turned his remarks to the monu ment which the family is providing for the tomb of tne dead General. In a voice, sad, but passionately indignant, Father Sher-.

man said "Just about the time the work was finished a strike occurred in the granite quarries in the East and the finished monument stands there now and there is no power in this country in state or nation to move it to move that monument from the hands of the union." A feeling of suppressed indignation wept over the audience and the son, with his arm extended over the assembly, his frame quivering with emotion, continued They will not consent to let us have it moved, and I only know one way to get it and that is to organize one of his old reg-ments and go there and take it by force. (Prolonged applause.) I do wish this society to know that it is not any neglect of sons or his family. We owe it to you, who bdlong to the same military family, to say that we have not been negligent for a day, and that we feel sad and mortified that in our country, which you have made so free, we cannot even move our father's tombstone from the spot where these workmen, it enclosed. (Indignation in audience.) There Is "a power, even higher and stronger than the power you conquered, and our generation has yet to meet the problem of conquering or at least subduing to law, that great power." There was a dead silence for a moment as the speaker concluded, and then there was a burst of applause, which swelled into a military cheer for the spirited son of the old A member of the society moved that the stenographic report of Father Sherman's remarks be inscribed in the record of the proceedings, and a few minutes later a meeting of the "Sherman Monument Committee" was called. What transpired at that meeting the vents of the future must tell, for its members are as mute as the sentinels of a re-connoitcring army.

THE BANQUET LAST NIGHT. The reunion came to a close last night in a banquet at the Lindell Hotel. Over 200 were seated, nearly all the gentlemen being ex-officers of the Army of the Tennessee. Among them were Generals G. M.

Dodge, D. B. Henderson, Schofield Mc-Nulty, Swayne, Black and Charles E. Hooker, Colonels E. C.

T. Sherman. The first toast, "Lincoln and Graut," was responded toby Gen. D. B.

Henderson of Iowa. "The Army of the Tennessee" was the toast to which Col. E. C. Dawes responded.

P. Tecumseh Sherman, one of the sons of the great general, responded to the "Lessons of War." Gen. John C. Black af Illinois replied to "The Border States During the War and Now." "Our Deceased Comrade, John Pop'e," was the subject of Gen. Wager Swayne's remarks.

A gentleman with an empty sleeve arose as the toast of "Our Quondam Enemy" was pronounced, and the assemblage cheered in recognizing Gen. Charles E. Hooker of Mississippi, one of the bravest of the ex-Confederates. There was humor, rathos and patriotism in the words of Gen. looker as be complimented the valor of the Army of the Tennessee and referred to the "lost cause" of the Confederacy as a matter which had been adjusted by the stern logic of war and had now passed into history beyond appeal and beyond regret.

"The Old Soldiers" was the last toast and was responded to by Capt Henry T. Castle of bt. PauL Another Woman Lawyer. SvRAcrsE, Nov. 18.
