THE ezAR,s CORONATION.


Extraordinary Precautions Taken by the
Police to Protect Him.
Moscow, May 21,-The special embassy
which will represent France at the corona
tion of the Gar, have arrived here.
Windows from which views may be had
of the principal ceremony on the day of the
coronation are being rented at prices ranging
from 600 to 1000 roubles each. The police
require persons hiring them to give satisfac-
tory evidence as to their character, and will
permit no one to occupy a window until
proof is furnished that they have no suspi-
cious articles on their persons. They have
even forbidden the carrying of oranges into
buildings from which view may be OBJ
tanned, as they fear sham articles containing
dynamite and intended for use as bombs
may get into houses and be used against the
Gar.
The Emperor and Empress have given
reception to the special foreign embassies
here to attend the coronation. The weather
is fine, and the city presents brilliant and
picturesque scene. Many delegates have ar
rived from Asia

garlands of roses plants and lamps. The

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The President has
nominated Hon. Walter Evans, of Louisville,
TO be Commissioner of Internal Revenue
The appointment of Mr.. Evans was another
of the surprises the President is so fond of
giving the country occasionally. Mr.. Eyans's
name had not been mentioned in the press,
and nobody in Washington appeared to have
thought of him in connection with the place
Mr.. Evans is comparatively unknown in
the East but without exception the South
ern and Western people say that he is
just the man for the office. Mr.. Evans is a
man whose reputation is without blemish.
He is a lawyer about forty-one years old
He served as lieutenant in the Federal army
during the war, was elected member OF the
Legislature from Christian county in 1871
and senator from the same county in 1873.
Four years ago he was nominated for Governor
on the Republican ticket, and made the can
vass of the State, receiving a good vote. He
is quiet, unassuming, clear-headed, Chris
tian gentleman, and it is believed here that
he will make capable and efficient Com
missioner. He served through the war, and
has been in the forefront of the political
struggles of his State ever since he
was old enough to be an active PARTICIPANT.
He is man of decided convictions, and is
what is termed a Fighter His nature is
not entirely devoid of knobs and horns, and
his political opponents sometimes run
against them and get hurt. Mr. Evanss
strongest backing is said to have been Post
naster-general Gresham, who has been init
mately acquainted with him from boyhood.
1t is very generally believed that the new
man will make a frstcass Commissioner.
Although from Kentucky, he is not identi-
fed in any form with the whisky interest
Mr. Evans was at one time the law partner
of Benjamin H. Bristow in Hopkinsville,
KY, and was Bristow man at the conven-
ton of 1876. In 1880 he was a delegate at
large to the Chicago convention, and one OF
the BOG who supported General Grants can
didacy. He has not heretofore held office,
although he has had considerable influence
in the distribution of Federal patronage in
Kentucky.
The new appolntee qualified and was sworn
in to-day at Louisville. The occasion for this
haste being that the ten days for which the
acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue
could be appointed expired to-day.

THE STAR-ROUTE TRIAL.

Attorney IngersoII Gives Another Install
ment of Argument
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Before the resump-
ton OF regular proceedings in the star-route
case Mr.. Wilson, said he understood the
government had required his client, ex-Sen-
ator kellogg, to appear in court tomorrow,
to answer to charge of misdemeanor. Mr..
Kellogg was now in New Orleans under
bonds, and it was unjust to require his at.
tendance under such notice.
The court said it would answer the purpose
if Mr.. Kellogg appeared on Monday, June IS.
Mr.. Ingersoll then resumed his address
with bitter assault on Moore's evidence,
which he said, had been bargained for in the
open shambles. He asked Mr.. Merrick il
Moore did not refuse to go on the stand until
an agreement had been made for Boones i'm
munity.
Mr.. Merrioa replied by an emphatic denial
OF any knowledge of such an agreement. Mr..
lngersoll then reviewed the testimony of
Rerdell; then took up the evidence of witness
Gibbs, and had not concluded his address
when court adjourned

Funeral of Bishon Peo,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 21.-At Bishop Peck's
funeral, Bishop Simpson said Bishop Peck's
nature was gentle and affectonate as
womans. As minister he was remarkable
for power in the pulpit, and for the magnetic
influence which reaches the heart of men.
He was a sound theologian, excelling in ex-
perimental preaching and left his mark in
all fields of labor. His fortune is left to
Syracuse University.
The funeral was very largely attended by
lay delegates, including Bishops Harris and
Hurst as well as Simpson. A brief service
at the residence was followed by addresses
at the church by Chancellor Sims, Bishops
Harris and Hurst. The pall-bearers were
representatives of the faculty of Syracuse
University, the Methodist conference of this
State and prominent laymen. The inter-

MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS.


Washington Special.
There has been some speculation here
recently with regard to certain mysterious
movements of the authorities. These move
ments began with the agitation of the extra
dition of Sheridan and Walsh The first
story that found it's way into print was to
the effect that number of men at the
Washington barracks were set aside for
special service, and were practically under
arms with orders for any emergency. This
being on the day Brady was hung was
naturally connected in the public mind with
the event.
An enlisted man at the barracks now tells
the following Il don't know who let
the story out, but it is a fact that
men are kept ready to go out
at moments notice. There is
something else, however, that does not ap-
pear to be known by every one, and that is
that on the night after Brady was hung, a
dozen of us were ordered to put OH citizens
Clothes and revolvers and ammunition we're
issued to each. We were then ordered to re-
port at the British minister's house on Con
necticut avenue, and did SO, spending the
entire night The same thing happened the
night Curley was hung, and the men de-
tailed were out all night No. we had no
orders beyond that we were ordered to re-
port at a given time, and we found an officer
there, who was also in citizens clothes, who
took command OF the detail. ] noticed that
only native Americans were selected for the
detail. We were treated very comfortably
while at the legation"
This somewhat extraordinary story appears
in print to-day. While there is no means of
extracting the truth about the matter from
the hermetcally sealed lips of the officials
who are able to pass upon its truth or
falsity, ii is definitely known that some such
extraordinary precautions have been taken
by the authorities. The Secretary of War is
quoted as saying that measures had been
taken to prevent any disgrace ever attaching
to this government by reason of the resent
ment of any class of people against the rep
resentatves OF a foreign government At
the barracks there are number of
soldiers who are under special orders the
purport of which they do not know and care
nothing 10 understand The impression
is slowly creeping out that the Secretary of
War has come into possession of facts which
iustifies such add tional precautions as would
seem to have been taken. These facts are
believed to be based upon threats received
from the dynamite faction in this country,
both at the English legation and the White
House. OF course, it is well understood that
the character of such threats of violence
would be scrupulously kept from the public,

Consequences.

An Event Which May Have Far-ReachIng
Paris Special
The illness of the Comte de Chambord, one
OF those political events which in themselves
seem unimportant, may have grave and far
reaching consequences. Reports differ greatly
as to the seriousness of his illness. Accord
to some accounts he is suffering from COM
pilcation due to organic disease of the heart,
and his life is despaired Of According to
others he is only troubled by what is popu-
larly known as coup du fouet. or a rupture
OF tendon of the leg, a disagreeable acci-
dent which care and time may remedy. Both
the friends and the enemies of the present
regime are watching events at Goritz with an
anxiety which they would willingly conceal.

manifesto led to the overthrow of the cabi-
