The Prince of Sw1ndlers.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Peter Finnegan,
who has earned the title of prince of swim
dlers, was to-day convicted in the criminal
court here of obtaining money under false
pretences. He writes beautiful hand. 1t
was his custom to represent himself by letter
as young woman who had been betrayed
and deserted and stood in great need OF
funds to keep her from following life OF
shame. In this way he addressed prominent
philanthropists throughout the country and
when arrested was flush with funds. He
usually closed his letters ''Yours, unfortu-

Guerilla Warfare.
SUAkIM, March 24.-General Graham has
postponed his attack in force upon Osman
Digma until Friday. The Arabs captured in
recent engagements say that two powerful
tribes in the interior have rebelled against
Ell Mahdi. The bodies of the Arabs slain in
the encounters of Sunday and Monday are
much emaciated. From this it is inferred
that Osman Digma is short of provisions
Osman Digma's orders to his forces are to
attack and destroy every convoy sent frem
Suakim to General McNeill's zerebra neal
Tamai and thus to starye out the latter gar
1ison.
1t is now admitted that the transport
trains and commercial divisions alone lost one
hundred and fifty men during the indecisive
engagement near Tamai on Sunday.

Death OF George A. smith

George A. Smith, tyler for all the Masonic
bodies that meet in the Masonic Temple,
died about half past twelve this morning
at his rooms in the Temple. His dis

by general breaking up of the system. He
had resided in the Masonic Temple quite a

His residence in the building made it very
convenient for him to care for the Masonic
rooms and the heating. 1t was decided 6

Garfield During His Inauguration

Washington Letter in the Baltimore SUM-
l don't think I ever saw man look worse
than Garfield did when he was sworn in as
President The blood seemed to have left
his face and he was exceedingly nervous.
He looked as frightened as if he had had
vision transpiring before him illustrating the
terrible suffering that he afterward went
through. Ordinarily Garfield made all his
gestures with his left hand, but in delivering
his inaugural it was noticed that he used his
right hand exclusively. This made him ap-
pear strange to many of his friends, for it
completely changed his manner. He must
have suffered intensely, though he tried as
hard as possible to stand up under it.
have often thought that his action in turning
towards and kissing his wife and aged moth
er was the result of accident instead of in
tention. My idea then was, and has cont1n-
ued8o be, that he fell backward exhausted,
and that his kissing of his wife and mother
was an afterthought. 1 saw him the morn
ing he was taken from the White House TO
be removed to Elberon to die. He looked
worse when he was being inaugurated than
he did that morning.

Galveston.-Couriers arriving here to-day
from the city OF San Salvador report that in
the latter place the greatest excitement pre-
walls because of the approach of President
Barrios at the head of his army. The would
be dictator is reported to be encamped this
morning at the lake near Metaplan, about
one hundred and fifty miles from here. His
army, which was first thought to number
eight thousand men, is now said to be fully
double that number. He has considerable
artillery and cavalry. It is said he
is being reinforced every day. The most
misleading reports are being scattered over
this republic and becomeImore exaggerated at
each telling. Many of the rich citizens of
San Salvador have deserted the city and fled
to the mountains. Others have taken ships
from this port. The country is full of Bar
rios and the San Salvadorian army, which
numbers less than one thousand five hundred
men, is said to be in state of revolt.
