Pleasant Wishes From America.


 MADDID, June 17.-General Foster, the new American minister to the court of Spain, in his address to the King last evening ex- pressed the warm friendship of President Arthur and of American citizens generally for King Alfonso and sincere wishes for the hap piness and prosperity of the Spanish people. The long unbrokep friendship and good will between the United States and Spain were, he said, source of pride to both and he would endeavor if possible to strengthen the present cordial relations between the coun- tries. Mir. Foster dwelt upon the great debt which the American continent owes to Spain and said he hoped that the peace now enjoyed by Spain would continue and that through improved commercial relalations Spain and the United States would share each other g prosperity. King Alfonso in reply cordially reciprocated the minister's good wishes.

 UNIoNTowN June 1.-The last rites over the remains of N. l.. Dukes took place at Il o'clock this forenoon. Long before the ap- pointed hour the folks of the neighborhood gathered in large numbers at the old home stead in German township. For some time they stood around in groups discussing the sad tragedy. The funeral services, conduct ed by the Rev. A. s. Hill Holland, of this place, and Rev. M. c. Bailey, of Fairchance, were deeply impressive and at their close the remains were viewed by the bereaved friends and sympathizing neighbors. The funeral procession was then formed, but nothing aside from the usual quietude of rural flu neral occurred. The procession was very large, reaching about one mile in length and amid green fields and woodlands it moved on to Church Hill cemetery. distance of two miles, where, with appropriate ceremonies, the corpse was laid to rest. The casket in which the remains were inferred bore silver plate containing the simple inscription, ''N L Dukes" Deep sympathy was expressed during the services tor the aged, afflicted mother of the deceased.

A preacher,s woras at uarvara.

BOSTON, June 17.-Rev. Dr. Andrew P. Peabody delivered the baccalaureate at liar yard to-day from Hebrews xii, 3, l. "Be not unmindful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels un- wares" He said new guests with just claims of hospitality are continually arriving in the world of thought and opinion, never so many as now. The great work of liberal educa- tion is to make room for guests to engage the mind in every dimension, to give it re- captivity at once generous and discri ninating and to teach it where to look for truth, how to test what claims to be truth and so to order its own contents that they may be al- ways accessible and serviceable. The mind thus trained has ample guest chambers and is prepared for g generous hospitality.

 GravOes' RevOlt-The Situation in the Re
 belItOus District.
 LONDON, June 17.-The latest dispatches from Sierra Leone corroborate the informa- tion already forwarded that the troubles are increasing rather than otherwise, and that the employment of an expeditionary force will probably become necessary. Nothing more is actually known of Chief Gravoe's movements than was telegraphed yesterday, with the exception that he and his 'war boys'' have burned several villages to the north, but their names are not given and no details are forwarded beyond the statement that many lives have been lost. Two towns have been plundered. The force at Sierra Leone is so small as to be unable to meet anything like 8 serious emergency when it becomes necessary to send out reinforce merit. It was sent under command of the administrator chief, MT. Pinkett, who had one hundred constabulary and two rocket l batteries under Captain N. W. Jackson. These I were followed by sixty men from the l Second West India regiment, these being all I the effective force which could be made I available. Native spies say Gravos has I been shrewd enough to remove the thatches l from all the houses in his stockaded towns | so as to prevent the effective use of the rocket batteries. Reports from the interior and beyond Sherbro indicate that the revolt l ing chiefs have force of about eight thou sand warriors comparatively well armed. With the exception of the arrivals by the 1 ship Tyne, who have been quartered at the Second West India regiments headquarters the province is denuded both of troops and constabulary. General Havelock and his ex- perience are greatly missed, and in his ab- sence it is thought that the natives are pre-
 stunning on easy victories. Trade on the riv- CTS is entirely at standstill. The factories l are all in 8 state of semi-defence and much anxiety is felt for their safety as the proper 1 ty of British traders alone is estimated to
 amount to half 8 million pounds in money.

The Kena,sren Knots an annr

In the stiff northwestern that was blowing erly the flagship of the Baltimore Yacht club, determined to give her 8 test of speed, weatherly q ualities and ability to stand up with half gale on her quarter. She left the wharf at 10 o'clock in the morning. On board were MT. 0. s. Maltby. her new own CT, Major E. H. Townsend, Colonel George P. Mott, R. F. Griffith, assistant naval con- structor from the Naval department, who had been the original designer of the yacht, and others. MT. Griffith took special in terest in this trip, because the boat had at last been fixed and equipped in accordance with his original designs. The center board had been put in and the mainmast had been stepped two feet aft of it's original position. Her masts had been lighted and she had been made to spread no yards of canvas more forward than she had done previously. Un. der this equipment she went down the bay under jib and fyingjib, foresail and fore topsail, mainsail and maintopsail, and with these six sails set she worked like a charm in the best breeze that could be asked to display her capacities. Running close-hauled on the starboard tack outside of the Knoll light, the log was thrown and marked an easy ten knots an hour with her lee rail constantly clear of the water. She was remarkably stiff under the occasional flaws, and refused to be so far knocked down as to permit the wash to come far inboard. Heading up the with only the jib, foresail and main- sail-a rig that had made 8 tub of her previously to the alterations. She went sElendidly with these three sails set, and obeyed the slightest touch of the helm. Cap tain Nelson Hawkins, sailing master, was loud in his applause of the Rena's perform ances, which were really her first trip. Major E. H. Townsend, son in law of Mr. Maltby, takes her around to New York in day or two to go to New Haven, Conn. The yacht Rena is owned by one of our citizens, 0. s. Maltby, Esq, and by the above article taken from the Baltimore American of June 12 it will be seen she will probably soon be in and an acquisition to our waters. Among the guests on board the Rena were the we'll known yachting men and experts. Messrs. w. F. Fowler, W. A. Oliver, William M. Bussey, s. Ruth. John Servis, I. F. Orr, S. F. Thompson, I. B.

Crushed to Death-6chOol Children kili-
 ed i'm a Pantc-A Scene of Agony and
 Confusion.
 LONDON, June 17.-A terrible calamity, involving the death of ITS children, occurred in the town of Sunderland, in the county of Durham, Saturday evening. From the details thus far received it appears that an entertain ment had been given in Victoria Hall by a conjuror, which was attended almost altogeth- CT by children, several thousand being in at tendance. The accident, which was so dire full in it's effects, occurred at the close of the performance. The body of the hall had been entirely cleared of its occupants, when some twelve hundred of the little ones came rush ing down stairs from the gallery. At the top of the first flight of stairs there was door which opened only twenty inches and thus but one child was permitted to pass through at 8 tinc. At this point, while the mass of children were pushing forward some of them fell and were unable to rise, owing to the others crowding on. The result was that great number were pushed down, trampIed on and suffocated. The scene was terrible, and no effort could stop the mad rush of afrighted children. They came on pen nell, though strangely without much shouting, and soon IFS of them were knocked down and suffocated to death by others tramping upon them. The greater number of the bodies, which were badly mangled from the trampling, lay seven or eight deep. Many of the victims, and oth- CTS who were not killed, had their clothing torn..from their bodies, and this, together with the bleeding bodies of the unfortunates, shows the terrible nature of the struggle. The ages of the IFS children known to have been killed ranged from four to fourteen years. The excite ment in the town when the news of the disaster spread was terrific. Great crowds of people rushed to the scene until at least twenty thousand persona surrounded the hall. The feeling was so intense that the authorities ordered out the Sixty eighth tn- fantry to preserve order. The work of get ting out the bodies of the victims was begun immediately. They were laid out in the hall and the parents of those killed were ad- mitted for the purpose of identifying the bodies of their children. Most heartrendlng scenes transpired while the work of ldentlh- cation was in progress. The mothers of the children constantly uttered piercing shrieks and many of them tainted on discovering the bodies of their little ones.
 LArER.-The number of children killed at the the Victoria hall panic in Sunderland last night proves to have keen 188 in all. Over two hundred were, however, seriously hurt and some of the injured will undoubtedly die.
