THE GARFIELD MONUMENT.
Awarding Prizes for Designs-DescriptiOn of
the Proposed Memorial.

CLEVELAND o., June 26.-The trustees of the
Garfield National Monument Association to-day
decided upon design for the monument They
called to their aid, as experts in monumental
matters, Calvert Vaux, of New York, and Henry
Vanbrunt, of Boston. Both came here, sepa-
rately made examinations of the designs, and
gave the committee their criticisms. Neither
had any knowledge of the authors of the de-
signs or of the views of each other. The first
81, 600 prize was unanimously given by the trus-
tees and both experts to George H. Keller, of
Hartford, Conn; the second prize of $3.50 to
Chas F. and Julius A. Schweinfurth, of Cleve-
land; the third prize $500, to Moffet & Doyle of
New York.
The artist to whom the first prize is awarded
adopted the tower for the form of the monu-
ment. A carved and sculptured tomb is made
the principal object of the memorial The tower
rises from broad terraces, reached by wide,
spreading steps, forming a dignfed approach; a
projecting porch at the base contains a vestibule
on one side which is the keepers office; on the
other side is a room for relics and the visitors
register. The vestibule leads into a round
vaulted chamber of stone, the domal roof of
which is carried on eight massive, polished gran
lite columns in a circle around the sculptured
tomb in the center. The pavement is tiled in
harmonious colors, and the whole lighted by rich
ly mullioned windows An aisle or ambulatory
outside of the columns surrounds the chamber the
side wall of which is decorated with inches for
statues vases of flowers. spiral stone
staircase leads from the ambulatory to the top
of the tower, 250 feet from the ground the as
cent winding about the tomb. Triple windows
at irregular intervals command an extended view
for miles in every direction, at one point looking
out over Garfields birthplace, eight miles distant
Outside of the monument, above the deeply re-
cessed portal, is terra Gotta band frieze of
sculpture sex feet in height extending around
the base of the tower, which is forty feetsqua
The frieze is divided into panels, with bas re.
liefs representing Garfield as educator, soldier
and statesman; the long and anxious watching of
the world over the death bed; the funeral process
sion from Elberon to Cleveland; the cornice of
the tower bears the arms of the different
States. Garfeld's remains will be inclosed in a
crypt below the level of the chamber, under the
carved tomb family vault will be provided

What time will the campaign open?'
"There will be little done until September
except in the autumn States 1t will be pretty
warm in Ohio, for instance, in August; warmer
in Maine and West Virginia, however There
will not be much going on in Indiana and New

the early elections, and, after all, the struggle
will settle down in New York and Indiana in
November Great interest will be manifested
in those States, and especially in. Indiana, which

SUNDAY BALL PLAYING.
An Effort to Determine Whether 1t Is a Mis-
demeanOr or Breach of the Peace.

COLUMBUS, o., June ga new turn was
taken by the defense this morning in the cases
testing Sunday base ball playing The mem
bers of the Brooklyn club waived examination
and were bound over in $50 each. When the
cases of the Columbus club were reached, they
demanded trial After hearing the case of
Charles Smith, second baseman, he was bound
over in $50. During this hearing counsel
argued the legality of arrests made on Sunday.
This defense was overruled by the Justice.
When the case of Fred H. Carroll, the catcher.
was called this morning, it was continued till
Tuesday next in order to prevent a finding until
the legality of the arrests made on Sunday could
be testedin higher court Meantime, a amittimus
was issued directing an officer to keep Carroll in
custody till Tuesday, and proceedings were i'm
mediately begun in the Common Pleas Court for
writ of habeas corpus to release him, on the
ground that arrest for misdemeanor on Sunday
is illegal. If he is released, that settles the
making of arrests during the progress of games
on Sundays so as to stop them, but arrests can
follow the next day. The magistrate in order
to reach them, held Sunday playing to be a
breach of the peace, rather than misdemeanor.
This is the question at issue. The cases against
the directors of the base ball club and the street
railroad company, have been continued pending
the test by habeas corpus.

A Child's Craving for Homicide.

CLEVELAND, June 26-Fanny Thompson, aged
thirteen, was recently examined by physicians to
find out the nature of malady from which her
mother says she suffers. Yesterday the girl was
in the Office Of the Humane Society, waiting the
arrival of the deputy sheriff, who expected to re
move her to the county jail, as the popularity of
her ailment will prevent any institution receiv
ing her as an inmate The girl, for some time
past, seemed to have sort of insane craving or
desire for homicide. She always wants to injure
or kill something or somebody. No human be-
ing or living thing is safe in her presence, and
only the other day she was discovered merciless
ly beating her two-and- a-half old sister and
when she was demonstrated with and asked why
she wanted to kill her little sister, she simply
replied: Because like it" She has a habit of
picking up flatirons stones, bricks, in fact ev-
erything that she can lay her hands upon, for the
purpose of throwing them at somebody. She
has frequently threatened her mother and sisters
with knife, which had to be wrested from her
by force. Fanny has bright face, though wick
edness is plainly written thereon She is also
troubled with epileptic fits, and the doctors say
she will eventually die with softening of the
brain.

A French Force Ambushed and Surprised by
Chinese Regulars.
PARIS, June 26.-Hanoi dispatches state that
Chinese regulars, with artillery, have entrenched
themselves at Langson, in violation of the
treaty. They attacked the French forces on
Monday, while they were on the march, killing
seven and wounding four. General Negriet
Immediately set out with reinforcements. Gen
eral Millot telegraphs that the French numbered
1900. They were on the way to Langson, and
though greatly outnumbered, routed the Chinese.
The French lost two officers
A later report says the French forces near
Langsoa were surprised in narrow defle, and
nearly cut to pieces.
After Cabinet council, to-day, the govern
ment telegraphed General Millot to suspend the
departure of troops from Tonquin. Admiral
Courbets squadron is ordered to join the naval
division of Admiral Lespes. commander of the
French squadron in Chinese waters. Admiral
Courbet will have conference with Patenotre,
the French ambassador to China, now en- route
to Tenstin from Hue, respecting measures for
obtaining satisfaction from China for the affair
at Langson.
Advices from Saigon state that the Governor
of Cochin China had given audience to the
King Of Cambodia, and the latter affixed his
seal to the proclamation establishing French
authority over his people, in accordance with
the treaty concluded with France few days
ago. The Governor assured him that France
would carry out the treaty with moderation,
legality and good will and the King would soon
be convinced that France desired his prosperity
and the prosperity of Cambodia. The King ex-
pressed confidence in France.
Prime Minister Ferry stated in the Chamber
of Deputies, to-day, that Patenotre had been
ordered to proceed to Pel1in and demand salts
faction for the Chinese violation of the treaty at
Langson. He said, also, that Admiral Courbet
had gone northward with the ships under his
command, to support the French demands.

GERMANY's COLONIAL POLICY.

Lively Discussion in the Reichstag, in
Which Bismarck Participates.
BERLIN, June 26.-There was a lively discus
sion OF Germany's colonial policy in the Reich
stag, to-day, in connection with the consideration
of the proposed treaty of commerce with Corea,
and the bill providing for subvention of colonial
steamship lines. The Conservatives and National
Liberals spoke in advocacy of the subsidy scheme;
the Clericles and new Liberals urged examination
of the details of the measure before making the
bill law.
Bismarck resented the reproach which the de-
lay necessary for such examination would i'm
ply He expressed regret that portion of the
House did not place the necessary confidence in
him. 1t was not question, he insisted, now, of
pursuing the colonial policy by subvention and
protection of entering upon a utopian
scheme of founding new provinces; but Germany
could not withhold protection from Germans
abroad when it should be demanded. A refusal
to grant protection would be equiva-
lent to declaration of insolvency, and
Germany could not afford to assume such posi-
ton. The delay in bringing this measure to dis
cussion explained by the protracted but
friendly negotiations with England with regard
to Angra Pequena In conclusion, Bismarck
said he regretted the condition of his health
prevented his saying as much on this topic as he
wished. He should reserve the right of revert
ing TO the SUBJECT at some time next session.
Bismarck, in the course of his speech, said:
II would remind the house that some time ago
an outbreak and second war with France were
generally expected and that the inclination
therefor existed everywhere. Nevertheless,
you must bear witness that l did not allow
it to come to pass. The different
governments of France since 1870 have main
tanned confidence in Germany. Our relations with
France are as confidential and amicable as with
any other country There exists complete trust
in inn TnI1t1 al
am pleased at having opportunity for men
tioning this fact"
