Nordenskiold-rhe Next Expos,,ion

New York, May 1.-THE tidings to-
day from Nordenskjold's expedition
25th of September only a month
later than the report brought to Swe-
den by the Lena, though favorable, do
not set at rest the anxiety as to the
fate of the explorer, the report of his
being ice-bound having been received
in January.
The plans for the international ex-
position here in 1888 have been consid-
erably disturbed by jealous contention
between the two committees-the one
from the United States board of trade
endeavoring to usurp the place of the
committee of citizens. Charges of
fraud and stock jobbing are made
against the board of trade committee.
Yesterday it received proposals from
Brooklyn, offering Prospect park as a
site for the exposition. The general
public is not yet much interested in the
exposition scheme.

Bishop Will Plead Guilty.

New York, May ia special from
Norwich, Connecticut, states that at
the Wesley w. Bishop trial for wife
murder, next Tuesday, he will probably
be allowed to plead guilty of murder in
the second degree, which he offered

double murder, and that Bishop, though
the weaker and more contemplate, is
the less criminal party.

The Riddle Poi.ouing Case.

NORWICH, CONN, Nov. Am the Riddle pol
soning case this morning three ladies and a gen.
tleman, besides the attending physician teSti-
fed concerning a singular attack of Illness
which Mrs. Riddle had while at Eastern Point 70.
summer resort near New London), in August,
1877, several months before she died. The i'll
ness appeared to be due TO her drinking port
wine which her husband had left for her use,
but which had been tampered with. The poison
it contained tasted like laudanum. There was
nothing in her previous health nor in the occur
renceS of the day previous to this Illness to eX-
plain it. The wine was emptied from the flas.,
by the poisoner Immediately after bis arrival
upon the scene, but the doctor, who came by
the same train and boat discovered the poison
in the tumbler from which she drank. A week
previous to this attack and before she left Nor
wich for Eastern Point she had had an attack
which was supposed to be cholera at the time,
but which also resembled arSenical poisoning.
The cross-eXamination brought out the fact
that Riddle seemed as devoted to his wife at the
time of the Eastern Point illness as ever before.
His only explanation Of the tampering with the
wine was that the flask had been exposed or
deserted in a satchel on the boat the day before,
and some one may have drank part Of its con-
tents and replaced the wine with something
else.
