vol. vm. A LITTLE TIN" GOD. Jeff Davis in the Eole ofa Second-Edition Prophet at the Alabama Prophet at the Alabama Celebration. He Indulges in Another of His Famous of the Rebellion, And Claims That the United States Had no -tight to Coerce the South.

The Unreconstructed l.ebel "Worshiped and Feted to His Entire Satisfaction. Alabama's Monument. Montgomery, April 29. The capitol grounds at 11 o'clock to-day pre- sented an animated scene. The wbole bill top and premises were covered with peoplo gathered to witness the laying of the cor- uer stone of the Confederate monument, or as some expressed it "the official burial of the Confederacy." Tin- skies above were cloudless and pleasant breezes wafted the breath of flowers from tho city.

The foundation of the monument only was ready, presenting a surface of thirty-five feet square. Near at hand stood the corner stone on whicb in raised letters was the inscription: "Corner stone laid by ex-President Jeffer- son Davis, April 29, 1886." Opposite this was alarge platform for the Speakers. The procession formed in front of the Exchange hotel. Mr. Davis, bis daughter.

ex-Gov. Watts and Hon. H. C. Tompkins, chairman of the committee of arrangements were in a carriage drawn by four white horses, each led by a negro in livery.

The next carriage contained Gen. and Mrs. Gordon, his daughter and Mrs. Clement Clay and was surrounded by survivors of the Sixth Alabama and other Con- federate veterans. The procession was preceded by a cavalry and artillery escort and was further made up of other local military, the uniformed rank Kuights of Pythias, Grand Commandry of Templars and Masonic bodies from differ- ent parts of the States.

The demonstrations along the route WERE AS ENTHUSIASTIC as they were- yesterday. Ex-Gov. Watts, presiding officer of the occasion, opened the exercises with reference to the importance of calling down the benediction of heaven upon the occasion, and requested the Key. Mr. Andrews, pastor of the M.

E. Church to pray. The prayer was earnest and sim- ple. Ex-Gov. Watts then presented Mr.

Davis in a brief speech. It was some mo- ments before he could proceed, as the cheers were again and again repeated. When there was sufficient quiet Mr. Davis said: It is deeply gratifying to me to be presented to you by one on whom I leaned for advice when advice was wanted, whose stern quali- ties always made me sure that the judgment he was drawing was from the bottom of his heart. When you called him away, the place was missing which he once filled and I have always desired to lay my hand upon him again Thus it was When we met the other night after years of separation.

Some of the people in the room gave a sardonic smilo to see old weatherbeaten men embrace, but our hearts were young, though our heads wero old. Associated here with so many memories thrilling and tender, I have felt that it was dangerous for me to attempt to speak to you as my heart would prompt me. Not that I am always treasuring up bitterness against any one, but I am overflow! ns: with love and admiration for our beloved people. To avoid, therefore, anything which might be prompted by the fullness of my heart, for 1 1 am case, hardened in tho CONDITION OF NON-CITIZENSHIP which leaves me very little to fear, for the purpose of guarding others rather than myself, I have prepared notes that I might read which would not contain anything that would be constructive or hurtful. Go on, say what you please.

You are in the house of your M.v friends, partners in joy and in sorrow, in trials and Buffering; I have come to join you in the performance of a sacred task, to lay the foundation of a monument at the cradle of the Confederate government, which shall commemorate the memory of the gallant sous of Alabama, who died for their country, who gave their lives, a free-will offering, in de- fense of the rights of their sires won In the war of tho revolution and the state sovereignty, freedom and independence which was left us as an inheritance to their posterity for- ever. These rights the compact of union was formed not to destroy, but the better to pre- serve and perpetuate. Whoso denies this cannot have attentively read the articles of confederal ion. or the constitution of the United States. The latter was formed and designed the better to effect the purposes ofthe first.

It Is not my purpose to dwell upon the events of the war. They were laid hefore you yes- terday by that great soldier in BO able a man- ncr as to require no supplement from me. Gen. John 11. Gordon was the soldier who, when our times seemed darkest at Pittsburg, was by his chieftain, Lee, as tin best man to lead the charge to REPEL TUE BESIEGING AItMV, to make a sortlo and attack in flank and re- verse, to double up Grant's army, and, if I may say so in his presence here, he failed, but his failure was due to tho failure of his guides to carry him whero he proposed to go.

Again, that man and gallant soldier was the one person whom Lee called at Appomattox when he wanted to know whether it were possible to break the line that obstructed his retreat towards the mountains of Virginia. He answered that it was that after four years of hard fighting his division was worn down to a fragment. It being then impossible to break the lino that obstructed his march to the mountains, Lee, liko Wash- ington, without knowing perhaps that Wash- ing ever used the expression, said if be could reach the mountains of Virginia he could con- tinue the war for twenty years. But when he found tho line which obstructed his retreat could not be broken, he said there was noth- ing to do but surrender. Be it remembered, however, that Lee was not the man who con- templated surrender as long as he bad the power to fight or retreat, and when he came to the last moment of surrender ho said to Gen.

Grant: "I have came to treat with you for the purpose of surrender.but. Gen. Grant, understand, I will surrender nothing that re- fleets upon the honor of my army." Grant.like a man, said he wanted nothing that would have that effect, and that Lee might draw up the papers himself, It Is not my purpose either to DISCUSS THE POLITICAL QUESTIONS on which my views have elsewhere and in other times been freeiy expressed, or to re- view the past, except in vindication of the character and conduct of those to whom It is proposed to do honor on this occasion. That wo may not be misunderstood by such as are not willfully blind, it may be proper to state in the foreground that we have no desire to feed the fires of sectional hate, while wo do not seek to avoid whatever responsibility at- taches to the belief in tho righteousness of our cause and tho virtue of those who risked their lives to defend it. applause and Revenge Is not the sentiment of a chivalrous people, and the apothegm that forgivenness is more easy to the injured than to those who inflict injury, has never had a more powerful illustration than iv the present attitude of the two sections toward oue another.

Policy, in the absence of magnanimity, would have indicated that in a restored union of the states, there should have been a full restoration of the equality, privileges and benefits as bad pre-existed though this had not been the case. Yet you have faithfully kept your re- sumed obligations as citizens, and in your impoverished state have borne equal burdens without equal benefits. I am proud of you, my countrymen for this additional PROOF OF YOUB FIDELITY, and pray God to give you grace to suffer and be strong. When your children's childen shall ask whet means this monument, there will be the enduring answer, It commemorates the deeds of Alabama's sons, who died that you and your descendants should be what your fathers in the year of independence left you. Alabama asserted the right proclaimed in tho declaration of independence as belong- ing to every people.

She found that the com- pact of the Union had been broken on one side and was therefore annulled: that the government of the United States did not an- swer the end for which it was instituted, and others of like mind proceeded to form a new confederation, organizing its powers, in the language of the declaration of Independence, in such form as seemed to them more likely to effect their safoty and happiness. This was not revolution, because the state government, having charge of all domestic oflicers, both of person and of prop- erty, remained unchanged. To call it revolution Is a gross solecism. 1 As sovereigns never rebel, and as only sovereigns can form a national league, if the states had not boon sovereigns there could uot have been a compact of union. Thatthe South did not anticipate, much less desiro war.

is shown by the absenco of preparation for it, as well as by the efforts mado to secure a peaceful separation. The successful party always hold the defeated RESPONSIBLE FOB THE Alt, but when passion shall have subsided and reason shall havo resumed her dominion, it must be decided that iho geueral government had no constitutional power to coorco a state and that a state had the right to repel inversion. It was a national and constitutional right. From the early part of the century there had been prophecies and threats or dissolution ot the uuiou. These began at the North, on the question ot pre- serviuit the balance of power, and culminated during tho war of 1812 on the decline of trade, though the war was waged lor the protectlou or a sailors' rights.

Inthe course of years the balauco of power passed to the North and that power was so used that the South, despairing of the peaceful enjoyment of their constitutional rights in tho uniou, decided to withdraw from it, this without injury to their lato associates. The rigid to withdraw was denied aud the North made ready for war. Tho distant mutterings of the storm wero readily understood by the people of Alabama. Cray-haired sires and beardless boys, all unprepared as they wero, went forth to meet tho storm ere it burst upon their homes and their altars. It re- quired no Demosthenes to arouse them to the duty of resisting the invaders, no Patrick Henry to prepare them ior the alternative of liberty or death, It was people, not the leaders, who realized and acted.

One sentiment inspired all classes. Yet I believe there were very few who did not regret tho necessity which left them no alternative between lighting for their state or against it. Mothers, wives and daughters, CHOKING BACK THEIR SODS, cheered them on tho path of honor and duty. With fearless tread theso patriots, untrained to war, advauced on many battle fields to look death in tho faco. Though Alabama, liko Niobe, must mourn her children iv death, yet is her woe tempered by the glorious halo which surrounds their For more than a century after his death, it is said that Philip Devalogno's name wus borne ou the roll of the grenadiers to whom he belonged, and when his name was called it was an- swered from tiie ranks, "Mort sur le champ d'honnour." Long, very long, would be the list which would contain the names of Ala- bama's sous whose valor and fidelity would jus- tify the same response.

To name a few would be unjust to the many. They are all there- fore left where they surely the hearts of a grateful people. This monument will rest upon the land for which they died and point upward to the Father who knows tho motives as well as the deeds of His children aud at last, resting in the land where Justice may be rendered which may have been denied tbem here, ln conclusion, permit mc to say though the memory of our glorious past must ever bo dead to us, duty points to the present and the future. Alabama having re- sumed her place in the Union be it yours to fulfill all the duties devolving upon all the good citizens seeking to restore the general government to its pristine purity, and as best you may, to promote the welfare and happi- ness of your common country, con- tinued Citizens of Alabama and ladies, tho ladies on the stand for to whatever SIDE TOU MAY BELONG! it is your sex that has been true always in war and desolation. We hear of tho valor and virtues and enduring names of the Spartan mothers, but tell me whero in the Ilistory of nations was ever such a spectacle as was witnessed in the valley of the Shenan- doah.

How the tide ot war ebbed and flowed, sometimes the Confederates rested and sometimes they, pui sued. Those people who claimed to be our brethren and burned everything except the fences Ex-Gov. Watts (interrupting) And they would havo burned them had they not been stove. Mr. Davis (continuing) do you suppose they did not burn tbo fences? Decause they were stone.

And yet there never was a time wheu a Confeder- ate body of troops marched down that valley that the ladles did not hang out little Confederate llags from their windows and give bread to the hungry soldiers. Tremendous I have promised I would not speak extemporaneously, and I will not do it. God bless you one and all. I love you one and all from the bottom of my heart and give you thanks now for your kindness. Tremendous long-continued applause and Governor Watts turned over the rest of the proceedings to the Grand Lodge of Masons, who laid the corner stone accord- ing to Masonic rites, The first article de- posited in the stone was a Confederate battle flag by Miss Davis.

SO DO WE. London, April The Daily Tele- graph, referring to the demonstration at Montgomery, says: We think it would be better if Mr. Davis allowed the past to sleep as Lee and Benjamin did. Davis Denounced. Albany, N.

April response to the call issued by Gen. Henry A. Bar- num and others, Grand Army men and citi- zens to the number of 200 met in the as- sembly chamber to-night to protest against the utterances of Jefferson Davis in bis speech at Montgomery yesterday, and in the words of the call to denounce the "Resurrection of Davis from the oblivion to which a loyal and patriotic people had con- signed him." Speeches were made by Gen. Barnum, S. Husted, Senators Coggeshall and Smith, Assemblyman Van Alien and others.

The assemblage sam: "John Brown's body lies a mouldering In the grave." The following was adopted: Eesolvcd, That treason is odious; that tho union of the United States of America and the liberty which the American principle of popular government illustrates is worth the blood of all loyal citizens of our country. Swindled a Broker. Indianapolis, April the United States district court to-day Woods made a ruling in the case of Walter Staton, a New York broker, against Jacob A. Seepley, a Morgan county trustee, who Issued and sold fraudulent township war- rants. The judge expresses a doubt as to the question of jurisdiction in the case, but holds that in order to recover the money paid for the warrants it will be necessary to bring suit upon each separate warrant, and that recovery cannot be had unless it is shown that the township re- ceived the benefit of the money or goods given for the warrants, lf the warrants aro shown to be fraudulent, the only re- course is against the trustee; it the town- ship has received benefit from the warrants, the sureties of the trustee are also liable.

The amount of this paper negotiated by the dishonest trustee throughout Indiana is unknown, but is estimated at from £20,000 to 550,000. This decision is held to practically dispose of all suits now pending. Publicly Announced. Chicago, April The anticipated reduction in transcontinental passenger rates was publicly announced here to-day. The Union Pacific aud the Burlington Missouri roads met tiie rates for the South- crn California points that were announced by the Santa Fa road early in tlie week.

The telegram authorizing this action was received here to-day from C. S. Stebbins of the Union Pacific, and P. S. Kitstis of the Burlington Missouri roads.

Amid the Greatest Excitement. New Yoke, April The league championship season was formally opened in this city to-day, by the New York and Boston clubs. The attendance was 11,940 persons. Eleven innings had to be played before the contest was decided. The excitement was intense, and the roar of voices defies any attempt at description.

The chances of war bung iv the balance and inclined lirst to one side and then the other, and the result was delightfully in doubt till the end. Gerhard carried off the honors. Thousands flocked over the fences at the close, amidst a din that sounded like thunder, and wanted to carry the players off the held.

Washington, April The championship season of the National league was opened here to-day with a game between the National and Philadelphia clubs.

Never before has such an assembly gathered in this city to witness a ball game as that which tested the capacity of the Capital park to-day. The National club outplayed its opponents at all points. National 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 0 Philadelphia. 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Taken by Detroit. St.

Louis, April The league series opened here to-day, and notwithstanding a raw and really cold atmosphere 5,000 people were on the grounds. The Detroits played an almost perfect game, while their batting was very tine and heavy. The home team also played well, but they failed to get onto Baldwin, making but threo hits off his Score: St Louis 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 Detroit ...0 2 0 11 12 marked by Heary Batting. ITlarkcd by Heavy Baltimore. April T0-day's game was marked by heavy batting by both the Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs, but the borne team bunched its hits in the eighth inning and won the game.

Toole and Kibroy were the opposing pitchers. A stiff wind prevented any very effective work, and both were rather unsteady. Stupid base running by Scott and Manning allowed the visitors to make a triple play in the fourth inning. Sommers and Fulmer did the best batting for Baltimore, and McClellan's batting, base running and fielding were remarkably brilliant- Baltimore 2 2 10 2 0 0 6 4 Brooklyn 0 152 Foster made an Error. Philadelphia, April The Athletics batted Mays freely to-day.

Assisted by errors of McLaughlin, Foster and Crotty they ran up a score of 8 runs.

Prof. Rooke" benefit occurred at the Leland rink, Minneapolis, last night. The program was opeued by the Guhu better known as Barnes' Midgets of St St Paul, in a four-round set-to. The kids are 13 and 15 years of age respectively, and weigh about seventy-five pounds each. They are new to a Minneapolis audience, and tliey were a genuine surprise.

Although mere children, they showed a. wonderful proficiency in the fistic art, and elicited enthusiastic applause. The next event was a two-mile bicycle race between Woodside and Shaw, won by the latter in 8:15. It was a fifteen-lap track, with flat ends, and the cyclists did not dare to ride fast. Gallagher aud Gap gave a threeround contest, and J.

H. O'Brien pave an excellent acrobatic act Christ io Murphy and I'atsy Mellen followed with a throeround set-to. JacK Prince won a mile bicycle race from Tom Eck in 4:15. Paddy Norton and Jack Shipley had three rounds with the mittens, and Patsy Mellen went on fora second tiiue, aud he faced Prof. Hadley.

The last round was on their merits, aud eacli looked as though he would like to go another, when the timekeeper shouted time. They did a little heavy work, and Hadley rushed Melleu to short-ann work so that no very effective blows were delivered. The windup was between Prof. Rooke and Baby Barnes, the Omaha giant who was brought out a few years ago by Paddy Ryan to tight John L. Sullivan.

The content was too onesided to be interesting. At the end of the second round Barnes Quit, saying he was in no condition. Theyopened up with a series of feints. Finally the professor landed his left on chin staggering the 280 pound giant Then be risited the mark, making Baby gasp and beg for lighter treatment The round closed with the professor feinting savagely and Barnes pleading for mercy, in-tue next round the professor planted a left hantler on the big 'uns nose, and Baby putted off the gloves. It was funny, indeed, Boby put both hands over stomach in a frantic endeavor to protect himself, whenever the professor made a feint.

THE WAKOITAB MEET. A Scheme lo Organize au Athletic Club. The Wakouta toboggan club held a meet- Ing at the Ryan last sight that was attended by nineteen members. The indebtedness of the club is $1 13 and only $7 is due from the members in regular lees. To liquidate, the indebtedness an assessment of $1.50 was levied on each member and the subject of making the club the nucleus of an athletic organization was discussed.

It is proposed to limit the membeiship to 500. build a club house and encourage athletic sports of every discription. After a lengthy consideration of the subject it was laid over until the next meeting. Dr. Cottrell tendered his resignation as secretary of the club and it was accepted.

Capt Adams being elected to that position pro teni. The matter of retaining the name of Wakouta for the dub was discussed briefly and laid over. (lev claud and Detroit Stakes. Detroit, April Subscriptions will be closed Saturday, May 1. for guaranteed stakes of 55.000 for the 2:80 class at Detroit driving park and $5,000 for the 2:35 class at Cleveland.

Horn's are to be named and eligible at the last payments at Detroit July 10, and at Cleveland, July 11. Indications are that the stakes will be very valuable. Small Talk.

Eesignation of the Grecian Minister of War So Regarded. France Accused By Hellenic Officials of Breaking Faith.

The Turkish Imbroglio. Athens. Greece. April 29. The minister of war has resigned.

His resignation is due to the fact that he did not coincide with the actiou taken by his colleagues during his abseii'-e at the front The powers have approved the action of their representatives here in presenting the ultimatum to the Greek government. INDICATION OF PEACE. The resignation of Col. Mavroinichalies, minister of war, is regarded as an indication of peace. Premier Delgannis will assume the duties of the war department for the present It is expected that Greece will soon officially notify the poweis that her forces will be disarmed.

KKANCE BHEAKIXG FAITH. It maintained in ortie.al circles here that Count duMony. the Fiench ambassador, promised that if Greece disarmed she would be rewarded by having assured to her the frontier pnarind in the treaty of Berlin. Count de has been instructed to instruct the Greek government that France is not disposed to be dragged into tho present dispute beyond enabling Greece to maintain good relations with the powers, and that the French government intends to avoid isolated actiou. The reply of the Greek government to the ultimutuiii of the powers is due on Tuesday next, when the ministers will be recalled unless Greece consents to disarm.

The Iriwh measures. London, April Lord Iddesleizh delivered an address at Plymouth this evening. He asked the Conservatives, in consideration of the fact that a large portion of the Liberal party was unable to agree with the ministry, to refrain from abusing Mr. Gladstone. He (Lord lddesleigh) would not fear for the issue if the Conservatives educated the newly ranch voters.

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, shaking at Bristol, said that if the majority of the Irish had their way against the majority of the British, the inhabitants of Ulster would have an undoubted claim for salvation from the rule of the nationalists. He exhorted Englishmen lo maintain their rights against a conspiracy nourished by foreign foes. AMENDMENTS URGED. The National Liberal association has issued a call for a meeting on May sth. It is prouosed to introduce at the- meeting a resolution expressing confidence in Mr.

Gladstone, but earnestly requesting him to accept amendments to his Irish measures in order to unite the Liberal Mexican natters. City of Mexico, April A law for the issue of fractional coin was presented to congress to-day and approved by a large majority of the members of that body after an interesting debate. It authorizes the issue of $200,000 in copper cents to be legal tender in suras of twenty-five cents or less and silver live cent pieces in whatever quantity the executive may deem necessary. The nickel law of 1881 is repealed. The new coins cannot be issued at a discount in large, quantities, as was the case with the nickel, and this will prevent its depreciation.

The bill authorizing the immediate execution of persons caught wrecking railway trains was attacked in congress yesterday by Diaz. Miron and Duret Senator Miron claimed that the measure conferred too great power on petty local officers. Withdrew Their The Hague, April The ministry have withdrawn their resignations. These were handed in because the lower bouse of parliament on March 23 rejected the government bill to re-establish differential duties In the Dutch Indies. The house subsequently adopted the bill in a modified form and thus compromised with the government.

A TIE UP ANTICIPATED. Railroad Freight Handlers Make Their Demands for Eight Hours' Labor and Ten Hours' Pay. The Managers Decline to Give It, as They Ihink It an Unreasonable Bequest. Milwaukee Packing llouse Closed Pending Settlement of Labor Troubles. Knights Said to be Displeased wltli Powderly-- Worklngmen Generally Demoralized.

Dissatisfied Freight Handlers. Milwaukee, April 29. General Manager Miller of the Chicago, Milwaukee SL Paul railway was seen by the Associated Press representative this eveuiug and questioned as to what reply would be Riven to the demands made by the company's freight handlers at Chicago. Mr. Miller declined to give for publication his reply until it has been formally placed before the men, believing it to be improper for him to do so, but from incidental remarks made by him, as well as other officials of the road, it is evident that tiie demands of the men are not to be granted.

He evidently believes them to be unreasonable and such as would not be made by the men at a time other than now while the excitement of the strike craze exists. Chicago, April 29. Concerning the demands of the Chicago Northwestern men for eight hours' work aud ten hours' pay, General Superintendent Wheeler and Vice President Hughitt said they would take no notice of the demand of the freight handlers. had," said they, "a similar demand from the men working our car shops, but we refused to grant it.

they had taken no definite action. It seems to be the opinion of all the officers of the roads, whose freightmen have asked for a reduction of hours, that the employes will be unable to successfully inaugurate a strike, owing to the fact that they have no union or other organization. It is the intention of the men however to form a society. For this purpose a meeting of all the petitioners and persons employed in the local freight houses of the roads will be held to-morrow evening. Their wages range from Si.

The one theme of discussion at all the meetings at the present time is the late strike, and the action of the grand master workman in connection therewith. There Is much complaint against Powderly, and he is blamed for the continuance of the late difficulties and the serious turn they took.

It is claimed that be does not possess the confidence of his subordinates to that degree which will enable him to bring out of the order all the good of whirh it is capable.

It is not to be placed In the same category with Freemasonry and similar secret societies. There is a wide difference between their purposes Mwsilaa on the religious lile 9.

of tne Individual members. The Knights of Labor Is composed of laboring men having' no ulterior object other than to receive Just compensation for their labor. If there HAS BEEN BLOODSHED in any place accompanying existing strikes it has rather been caused by the starvation wages given by monopolists than by the malice or ill-will of the worklngmen. The Knights of Labor, as a society, I do not believe responsible for this shedding of blood. Workingmen have the right to receive Just compensation for their labor.

The wives and children of employers live sumptuously and dress finely, while tbo laborers family barely has the necessary food to keep away actual want. I am perfectly willing to publish my views on this question so far as they relate to better pay for And because the society has but this one object, and does not interfere with the religious belief of Its members, nor assumes the position of religious teaching, the church has not and does forbid Catholics from governing it."

The committee has no plan of action yet arranged, but will hold a meeting to-morrow morning to determine upon what cousse pursue in the matter of taking evidence.

Fort Worth and other points, and then to return to this city and take the evidence of the chief movers in the strike and the prominent railroad officials, but this has not been determined upon.

It is likely that the whole committee will go to Sedalia, and, after taking testimony there, be divided into sub-committees; but developments to-morrow may chanpe its plan, and the committee may conclude to take its first evidence here.

No Forfeiture of Charter. Albany, N.

April The railroad commission has made two reports on the Third avenue railroad strike. The majority report holds that the company was justified in resisting the demands of its employes for the discharge of certain other employes; that the right to hire and discharge is inherent in the employer, but that in this case it was exercised with harshness; that a temporary stoppage of service on account of a strike cannot justly work a forfeiture of charter; that the strikers are blameable for ordering a general tie up in the city. The minority report holds that the road violated its charter in not running cars as often as required, and that it treated its men with bad faith and unfairly. Striking machinists.

The machine manufacturers and foundry owners of Chicago held a meeting yesterday to discuss the eight hour movement. Twenty out of thirty firms were represented.

Mr. Cleveland's Law Partner Said to be the Only Person Cognizant of the Date. June 10 Asserted to Have Been Decided On for the Notable Nuptials. Miss Folsom's Friends Still In the Dark Concerning the Character of Her Costumes. The White House Wedding.

Special to the Globe. Buffalo. N. April Wilson S. Bissell is more talked about just now in political and society circles than any other Buffalo man, except, perhaps, his former law partner, the president.

Mr. Bissell is discussed in society because of tho settled conviction that he will be the only man in this city who will see the White house wedding, for lie is reported to have told a friend that he knew the exact date. The Hon. Daniel Lockwood. the Hon.

James M. Humphrey, the Hon. Charles M. Goodyear, ex-senator litus, and other distinguished Democrats and personal friends are among those who would be surely invited if Mr. Cleveland proposed to ask any one to see him wedded besides his law partner.

They all deny having received an invitation, and the subject seems more distasteful to them than it does to Mr. Bissell, who is actuated only by his well-known abhorrence of publicity The preference shown to Mr. Bissell has revived the report that ho is to be the secretary of the treasury to replace the Hon. Daniel Manning, whose resignation is expected. People here, who are levelheaded ABOUT SUCn MATTERS, say that Mr.

Bissell can have the office if he will take it. He would be a man in whom the president would have implicit confidence, and who would be able to carry out the policy outlined by Mr. Manning, for although a lawyer, he Is a careful, methodical, and thoroughly capable man he has been director of a bank, has a very good idea of financial matters and is well posted on the policy of the administration. Just before the cabinet was made up last year, Col. Butler of the News had reliable information that if a general expression of sentiment was made for Mr.

Bissell for secretary of the treasury, he would be appointed. Several columns of interviews were printed with bankers, lawyers, merchants and others, favoring Mr. Bissell. That gentleman begged that no further "boom" for him be made, because he didn't want to embarrass the president at that time by accepting the office. Mr.

Bissell then practically admitted that an urgent request had been made by the president to allow the latter to name him for the office. SPECULATION OX THE EVEXT. Miss Francis Folsom's relatives here are daily expecting additional letters from her giving particulars of her engagement to President Cleveland, but so far the only authoritative statement was contained in a letter which Mrs. Townsend received, as already stated. Miss Gregg, who is to be one of the bridesmaids, is believed by her fellow belles to have accurate information about the wedding, and they are discussing whether she will wear her graduation dress, or get a new costume.

It is being whispered around that the date will be about Wednesday, June 16, but so far as known Wilson S. Bissell, the heavy weight law partner of the president who is down on the program as the best man, is the only person here who positively knows the date, and the information could not be secured from him with a burglar's jimmy. He has been hinting mysteriously to his bachelor friends about something that was going to happen, and they all believe he means the president's marriage. Mr. Bissell recently got measured for a SWALLOW-TAIL COAT of the most fashionale cut, and he wears a melancholy look.

Curiosity among the girls about Miss Folsom's dresses is on the increase, and they are disconsolate because she has not sent them a description of the dresses she is having made in Paris. "It's mean of Fraukie," said Miss "Wilson, to think that she won't gratify our curiosity. I really don't believe she will have any nice dresses. The minister who will perform the ceremony is said to be a Buffalo man, and if so. Rev.

Dr. Brown of St. Paul's cathedral is thought to be the lucky man, A letter from Washington received by Col. N. E.

Mack says that if it were possible for the president to get up to Buffalo without being discovered the wedding could be held at the Tint or Genesee house. Miss Folsom could stay at the hotel after her return from Europe, the last part of May, and the ceremony could be preformed quietly. The one thing that bothers the president, is to get to Buffalo without being found out, and the plan will be probably given up. A council of war will be held at Louis Goetz's to discuss the matter to-morrow night. A BRILLIANT BALL.

The Milwaukee Kisrlit Horse Squadron Entertainment. Special to the Globe. Milwaukee, April 29. The Horse Squadron ball, given this evening at the exposition building, was a brilliant affair. In arrangements, color and effect it surpassed greatly the ball given under the same auspices last year.

The Japanese style of decoration added ranch to the accomplishments of this end.

The general passed through here on the 11 o'clock train this morning en route from Fort Snelling to Chicago. He was met by Col. Charles King at Oconomowoc, bearing an invitation from Hon. Alexander Mitchell that the general would accept his hospitality during his stay. Gen.

Anderson was found in the bottom of the spring. His banker state that, although his account was almost exhausted, yet his credit was perfectly good. lie was one of tho largest shippers of cattle in Northern lowa, and he had recently made extensive shipments to Montana. It seems that there could have been no possibility of financial difficulties being the cause, and he had no family.

The fact of his leaving letters intimating that he would end his life precludes any idea that he was.
