WASHINGTON. July Iz-Prssdent Cleveland
has sat down upon the business enterprise Of
wellknown photographer here and quite
crushed the brightest hope of his lfe A couple
of weeks ago the artist induced Mrs. Cleveland
to give him sittngs for negatives He spent
whole day, aud secured twenty two positions
Many of them were large, full size, and displayed
various costumes, the most elegant in her ward
robe Among the negatives were two or three
of the Presidents bride, just as she appeared on
the evening of her marriage Her bridal robe
appeared to splendid advantage.
Nothing in particular was said about what
was to be done with the negatives. Mrs Cleve-
land had in mind large collection and variety
of photographs Sf herself for friends She
thought, too, that the artist might want to cir
culate them. The artist had no other idea than
that of selling the pictures and he made great
preparations for producing and disposing Of
them. He made arrangements to manufacture
thousand day, and expected to clear million
dollars from them in this and other countries.
His negatives were perfect and his prints charm.
ing. he rented large room on Maryland ave
nue., put in skylights, had his negatives copy
righted and everything put in readiness for his
work
Before the sittings of Mrs. Cleveland were
procured, the photographer who visited the
White House assured. the President and his
bride that they should select from the collection
or negatives those they wished to have used.
Imagine his surprise when he went to the exec.
utive mansion the other day, with his negatives,
and after those desired were selected being told
by the President that under no circumstances
must any of the photographs be made accessible
to the public; that for no imaginable considera-
ton would he consent to have bis wife's pictures
sold in the open market
Instantly the photographers interest fell.
Hundreds OF dollars invested in apparatus, cir
cularS materials, building, gone to smthereens.
He choked his wrath and disappointment how
ever, took order for number of prints and
left The artist feels under obligation to OBJ
serve the injunction of the President. and the
fortune he had within grasp, like sand. has gone
through his fingers

How Single Rash Step Nay Result in the
Overthrow of the Republic.
PARIS, July 1L-There is one consideration
that might in a moment entirely upset the calcu-
lations Of everyone-the possibility Of war be-
tween France and Germany. 1t is well known
that Germany regards with an anxiously- jealous
eye the increasing activity with which military
preparations are being hurried on in France. A
single rash step on the part of the impetuous
French Minister of War, General Boulanger,
and Germany might seek the occasion to precip-
itate the conflict that he feels some day or an
other must occur. Neither Russia, Germany
nor Austria likes the French republic, which,
owing TO its unfortunate leaning toward radi
caism, is far an encouragement to
the growth and propagation of socialistic doc
trines In Europe. In the event of war break
ing out, 1T IS quite on the cards that the three
empires would seize the opportunity to join in
another "hoy alliance" and deal France a
crushing blow that would silence her Chauvinism
forever. and overthrow the republican which
case they would naturally choose the Comte de
Paris for their Viceroy, just as Louis XVIII
was placed the throne after the battle of
Waterloo. may mention, as significant fact
IN this connection-that this year. for the first

WASHINGTON, July 11-Senator Blair, from
the committee on pensions, to-day submitted a

Maryland, join in minority report. in which,
after brief statement of the history and value
of the Presidents constitutional right of veto
they say:
''The report to which we dissent is nominally,

two other bills. Waving any criticism upon the

Proposed Coalition Cabinet
LONDON, July 18-At an informal meeting Of
the Cabinet, on Saturday, Mr.. Gladstone spoke
in favor of immediate resignation, and was sup
ported by Earl Spencer and Mr. Morley. Sir
William Harcourt, Mr. Chders, Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman and Sir Farrer Herschel were in
favor of challenging vote of the House of Com
mons motion affirming the principle of
home rule for Ireland. Subsequently, at din
ner, Mr.. Gladstone stated that he had infexibly
decided to resign and conduct an uncomproms-
ing opposition. In this decision Sir William
Harcourt apd r.sChilders then concurred.
Lord Harrington and Sir Henry James have
definitely declined to join coalition Ministry.
Lord Salisbury's offer to make the Duke of
Argyll Premier was contingent upon Lord Hart
ington's joining the coalition, and. of course, is
now withdrawn. The Duke of Argyll will prob
ably be made Viceroy of Ireland, with Mr.
Stanhope as Secretary.
A French newspaper publishes an interview
between one of its correspondents and Mr.. Glad
stone, in which the latter is reported as saying:

members constitute compact minority whose

Prominent Punchers.

ST. PAUL, June 25.-In the contest to-
night between Patsy Cardiff and Billy
Wilson, of seven rounds, Queensbury
rules, with six ounce gloves, the referee
awarded the fight to Cardiff on points.
Both men were in splendid training.
Wilson had changed his tactics since the
last fight, which confused Cardiff for the
first two rounds, but he soon adapted
himself to the changed conditions. Find
ing he could not get Wilson to exhaust
himself by forcing the fighting, he crowded
him to the ropes and once forced him
head first from the platform, but Wilson
quickly recovered and came up again. In
finishing there was some hard hitting on
both sides, but neither showed severe pun
ishment, both having been trained down
close. Considerable money exchanged
hands, and over 5000 people witnessed
the fight, which was at the Exposition
hall.
