BAYARD ON JEFFERSON.
How the secretary's Grandfather Decided
the Famous Election of 1891.

the Famous Election of 1891.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, June 4.-Secretary Bayard
and Senator Vest arrived here this morning,
accompanied by carload of lesser Democratic
lights from St. Louis to attend the commence
ment exercises of the State University. A
crowd of citizens and visitors met the gentle
men at the station and procession headed by
the Governor and others started at once for the
University. The commencement exercises
continued till noon when the original marble
tablet on which is inscribed the epitaph of
Thomas Jefferson, and which was presented
to the University by the heirs of Jefferson was
unveiled, and Senator Vest delivered a long
and elaborate oration on Thomas Jefferson.
He was followed by Secretary Bayard, who
was received with great applause. His re-
marks were devoted to the lessons to be learn
ed from the life and service Of Jefferson. Re.
feTring to the relations which existed between
Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, Secretary
Bayard said he had in his possession the cor
respondence which showed that to the inhu-
ence OF no man was the election in 1901 of
Thomas Jefferson TO the presidency more due
than to the personal counsels and influence of
Hamilton. Mr.. Bayard then related how in
1901 when the election was thrown into the
House OF Representatives his (Baysrd's)
grandfather then representative and holding
the vote of Delaware, although being a Fed
eralist and opposed to Hamilton, cast his vote
for jefferson, after consultation with Hamil-
ton, and thus contributed to the preservation
of the Union, which was then threatened with
dissolution. Comparing the crisis in 1901 with
that of 1876, Mr.. Bayard used both as illustrat-
ing that the American people regard their
country as more sacred than party. With
some words OF compliment to the University
Secretary Bayard closed and was most hearth
ly applauded.

mont says: At noon yesterday the Beaver
Park reservoir, in South st. Vrsin Canon,
burst, causing great damage to the surround
to have reached height of 100 feet, rushed
down the canon with terrific force, carrying
away bridges, houses, barns and everything
which obstructed its psth and flooding the
adjacent country. So far as learned, no lives
were lost. The damage to crops and meadows
along the lowlands is very great The reser-
voir, an immense affair, covering an area Of
many acres, supplied water for the highland
ditch, which traverses large section Of land
adjacent to the mountains.

his last race with Beach, he was of the opin-
ion that upon his own water and with all con-
ditions favorable he would find little trouble
in getting away with the Australian. Beach"
said he, sis better built man, and shows uD
as greater athlete than any of our oarsmen.
His muscles stand out more perceptibly, and
appear to be stronger, tougher and irmer
than those of any man have ever met. But,
even If had been made of steel and iron, l
could not have won my last race with him in
the face of the undoubted odds which the
choice of position gave to him."
Hsnlan says that he will return to Austria
lia in eighteen months, and that he will
probably take Gaudaur, Teemer and Ross
with him, they to assist him in making up a
four for purse of $4,000 or $40 900. On his
present trip he cleared $31, 600, and received
presents worth $4,000 more.

Change in the Cabinet.
OTTAWA, June 4.-Thers is considerable
speculation at Ottawa with regard to the Cabi-
net changes that take place az the close Of the
present session. There has been no minister of
railways since Sir Charles Upper left for
England year ago, and now Sir David Nc
Pherson has vacated the Office of minister of
the interior. 1t is said that Sir Alexander
Campbell will, at the close of the session, re-
elBn JUS pOrb4OllO OI JusblCo ana AcCepG tno
position of Lieutenant Governor Of Ontario
Sir Leonard Tilley, owing to failing health,
will retire to similar position in New Bruins
wick. The most prominent names put for
ward to fill the vacancies are Dalton Nc
Carthy, @. c., for minister of justice; Thomas
White, of the Montreal Gazette, as minister of
finance, and George A. Kirkpatrick, the pres
ent speaker, minister of the interior. For the
portfolio of railways several names are men,
toned, none of which, however, are considered
strong enough to secure the office.

Arrest of a COuntefeiter Who has Been
Working the Hub.
BOSTON, Mass, June frederick Thatch-
er was arrested here today charged with pass
ing counterfeit half dollars upon trader at
the Highlands. Thatcher was visited at the
police station by Major McGrath OF the United
States secret service by whom he was recog-
nizsd as an old offender whose picture he had
seen in the secret service gallery in Wash
ingtou. Thatcher admitted having served a
three years sentence for manufacturing coun-
terfeit money in Fall River in 1878, but would
make no further statements about himself
Major McGrath visited the house occupied by
Thatcher and there found about $50 dies and
moulds containing quantity of partially fin
ished counterfeit five, ten, twenty five and
fifty cent pieces and silver dollars, also large
quantity of metals used in counterfeiting. In
addition, whole garret full OF articles was
found which he has evidently obtained by
petty thieying. Thatcher is about 40 years old
and has family consisting of wife and two
children. There has been considerable COM
plant OF late that bogus quarters were in cir
culaton in this city and as the dies captured
today indicated that quarters had been coined
in the greatest quantities by Thatcher it is
believed that he is responsible for their crcu-
latiOD.
