CHICAGO, May 19.-Archbishop Fleehan
to-day, in the presence of 10000 people, laid
the corner stone of the De La Sale inst
tute, the first Roman Catholic institute in
the west designed for exclusive use as a high
school. Over one hundred thousand people
witnessed the brilliant procession of reli-
gious and others societies preceding the
placing of the corner stone. Many promi-
nent laymen and clergy, including the
heads of the various orders, were present
from outside points, Notre Dame being
well represented.
Rev. Thomas F. eastman, pastor of st,
Jarbaths, Chicago, was chaplain of the pro

China Will Protest.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. !
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The new Chinese
minister will reach Washington about the
1st of September next. 1t Is expected that
he will bring instructions from the En-
peror regarding the Chinese position on the
Scott exclusion act which passed Congress
last summer. These instructions will en-
power him to make protest against the
undignified haste with which the exclusion
act was passed, while the treaty, which
would have accomplished the same result,
was pending. This being done, the whole
affair, so far as China is concerned, will be
dropped.
The report that China would retaliate
upon this government and it's citizens for
our action in the matter, is ridiculed in
high official quarters. 1t is true that an at
tempt was made to work up a sentiment
against the American people at the time
the bill passed but it was probably disap-
proved by the Emperor, and since then has
been practically forgotten. 1t is said that
the Chinese authorities were not displeased
because their PEE p e were not wanted in
this country. Upon this point they were
profoundly indifferent; but they did object
to our action in passing the exclusion act
under the circumstances, and their national
pride will not be satisfied until they have
made these objections known through
the proper diplomatic channel.

The Forrest City Race Row.

LITTLE Rock, May 19.-Advices from
Forrest city state that A. M. ,Neeley, the
negro whose quarrel resulted in yester-
days riot, in which three men were killed,
was killed by mob early this morning
Neeley and his brother took refuge in a
deserted building. Every effort was made
to secure them in their hiding, but they
were supported by their other friends.
This morning the acting sheriff persuaded
old man NeeIey and his other son to come
out, promising them safe conduct to Jail
and a fair trial. A. NJ. Neeley did not APP
pear, and the sheriff's party was not more
than hundred yards distant with the two
prisoners when a number of thepther mem
bers of the posse raided the deserted build
ing. Neeley was discovered secreted under
the floor and was riddled with bullets.
This last killing created a great deal more
excitement and the people were afraid of a
raid on the town by the negroes,
The acting sheriff wired Governor Eagle
and asked that the militia be ordered there,
Governor Eagle thought that ne would be
better able to Judge of what was needed by
being on the ground, so he took the first
train to Forest City and will remain till
quiet IS restored.
The cause of all this trouble was the de-
termined attempt Of the negroes to elect
two of their race to membership on the
school board instead of the white candi-
dates. The white people claimed that the
negroes already had sufficient representa-
ton and charged that they were trying to
obtain control of the board in order to man
age the school to suit themselves. Neeley
was prominent Republican. He was a
member of the state central committee, and
had secured the recommendation of that
body for register of the land Office here.
1t has been learned to-day that the bullet
that killed Sheriff Nelson was not fired by
Neeley as first supposed, but was one of the
shots fired wildly by Marshal Tolbre
after he was fatally wounded by Tom
Parham.

Oregon g. TranseontinentaI.

New YORK, May 2O.-On the stock ex-
change Oregon & Transcontinental opened
3 per cent. higher, but retired sharply, and
touched 49,, decline of 81, while cash
sales of 4S to 45 and seller four days 80.
The sensation caused by the corner in
Oregon & Transcontinental last week ap-
pears to be gradually dying out to-day, but
both parties to the contest for control nave
kept the interest alive by manipulation for
the purpose of liquidation.
1t is rumored that a compromise has been
arrived at by which the Union Pacific will
continue to pay 6 per cent. dividends on
Oregon Navigation stock and retain con-
troll. This would eliminate all bitterness
from the election and leave nothing for the
Willard party to fight for. In the afternoon
stock there was decidedly heavy selling,
which forced the price down to 80, decline
of per cent. from the opening. Henry
Willard was offered 5000 shares, with
proxies, by Governor Ames, of Massa-
chusetts, but declined to buy. While
Oregon & Transcontinental' stock is being
sold, the brokers identified with Willard
bought Northern Pacific heavily, which
caused an advance of 2l5

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Attidayits Required by U. S. Laws Must be
Made Before U. S. officials.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The opinion of
the United States supreme court in the
case of the United States VS. John D. Hall,
was to-day the subject of earnest discus
sion among the officials of the general land
office
One of the points at issue was that Hall
had made oath before notary public The
supreme court decided that where an oath
is required by a United States statute the
oath can be administered only by an officer
of the United States. Hence, a notary
public, being state officer, cannot admin
ister an oath to United States officers, ex-
cept the statutes specifically state that the
oath may be made before such state official
This opinion, it is believed, seriously at
fects the statues of more than ole hundred
thousand eases in the mineral division alone
of the general land office. Deputy mineral
surveyors have for several years, it is said,
sworn to the correctness of their state
ments before notary pubGcs. During the
last four years a large number of cases
under the general land laws have been re
celyed for patent by the general lana office
where the final proof was not f2ade before
the officer designated by the law for that
purpose. When no other error was found
they have been allowed to 90 to patent
This policy was first adopted by Secretary
Villas
The opinion of the supreme court has
created alarm, and a request for the
Interpretation Of section 1886 of the
revised statutes has been sent to Assistant
Attorney General Shields partly for
reference to the supreme court decision and
It's effect upon pending cases in the general
land office.

Especial TO THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
New York, May %. j Rev. John F.
Hooper, of the North New York Congrega-
tional church, Friday ran away with Miss
Mary Curtiss, of No. 593 East One Hundred
and Forty-frst street. They were married
at Union Hill, New Jersey.
In January, 1855, Mr. Hooper was called
from Kingston. New York, to a pastOrate
at St. Paul's Reform church, Malt Haven.
The following summer his wife got an abSO
Lutte divorce from him in California They
had lived apart some time, and Mr.. Hooper
boarded with Charles CurtisS, vlce-prlncl-
inal of the public school at One Hundred
and Forty-siXth street.
The good looking parsOn was informed
that in case Mrs Hooper got divorce ne
would not be free to marry again unless he
placed himself within the jurisdiction OF
the court granting the decree. Having no
relish for single bleSSedness, he went to
California. Stories affecting his character
as a clergyman and gentleman were rife
upon his return. Mr.. and Mrs Curtiss re
qgg5ted him to find another boarding place.
~ put on making the change on one pre-
text after another until Mrs. CurtisS told
him peremptorily ne must go. He IS re
ported TO have answered, with flushed
face and sparkling eyes If | have to get
out OF here. I'll bring he'll and damnatiOn
to yourfamily."
Then began his attentions to Mary. She
is nineteen years old, u brunette, not es-
pecially pretty, but self-willed and reso-
lutte Until Friday, she was a student of
NOrthmall college. Hooper called at the
house until Mrs. Curtiss probable his pres
ence. Then he paced up and down the
sidewalk, looking for chance to speak with
the girl. He used to follow her to the
station and ride down with her when she
went to school, and rode back with her in
the afternoon. She seemed to be completely
infatuated with him, and the remonstrances
of her friends were of no avail.
While he continued to fascinate Miss Cur
ts<, the storm in st. Pauls church was
brewing Early in December it burst.
Hooper was charged by the consistOry with
lying, md other offenses. He refused to re-
sign and the Chassis was appealed to. That
S)iy examined the matter and suspended
Hooper. Friday, Mrs. Curtiss decided to
take Mary east on Fall river boat She
left the daughter at college and returned
about o'clock and found that the girl had
not gone to her recitations, and no trace of
her subsequent movements is known to her
there was little doubt as to Mary's where
abouts. The uncertainty was set at rest
Saturday night when Mrs. CurtisS received
a letter dated, Union Hill, n. j." in
which Mary said she had teen married to
the man of her choice.
Hooper is eccentric, and is now under
citation for contumacy. He did not preach
yesterday, but sent a note tC one of the
congregation from Union Hill, stating he
could not preach, as his head troubled
him

the fastest first trip ever made across the
Atlantic by any steamer
The new racer made the voyage from
Hamburg to New York, distance Of 3. 14S
miles, in days and l hour, an equivalent of
days and hours from Fastnet to New

steamer was delayed by heated journals,
the actual time between Fastnet and Sandy

MILWAUKEE,, May ia correspondent

which he informed the President that
Der Herald had complained of the lack of
attention given the Communications
The President replied in substance that
he was friendly to the German-American
Republicans, and desires to do them JUS
tice, as everybody would see. He had
heard of some dissatisfied ones among
them, because of the few appointments
which so far had been made from their

complaining, but that the public would
find no fault with the administration for
slowness in making appointments. He
felt it his duty to Investigate every case
closely and fairly before taking action on
it. After a while, everybody would see
this, and he had no doubt but that the Ger
man Americans would soon be fully salts
fed, for he had no desire to slight or
wrong them.
