will be returned against Sullivan, but cannot
say that he has any real grounds for the ex-
pectation.

ON THE BEACH,.

The United States Scholarship ConsteIla.
ton on the Beach Near Cape Henry
with Over Three Hundred People on
Board, Among Them One Hundred and
Thirty Cadets.
, NORFOLK, Va, June 19.-Lieutena Mt
Archer, of the United States ship Con-
stellation, arrived at Norfolk yesterday
afternoon, and brought the intelligence
that the Constellation had gone ashore
one mile below Cape Henry at three
O'Clock yesterday, in a thick fog. A
brisk northeast gale was blowing at
the rate of about thirty miles an hour
when the accident occurred, and the ship
lies broadside the beach about three hun
dred yards from the shore.
At ten O'Clock last night Lieutenant
Archer left on the Baker Salvage Wreck
ing Company's steamer Peed for the Con-
stellation. Lieutenant Tyler, acting I'M
der instructions from Commodore Brown,
at the Norfolk Navy Yard, has chartered
the iron tug Norfolk to go to the assist
ance OF the war-ship.
Cables and bawsers must be used to
haul the Constellation off.
1t is thought the Cons tellation's COM
mander allowed his ship to be carried too
near in shore by the perilous current be-
fore recognizing the danger of his posi-
ton, or that his compasses were out Of
order. The Constellation had ON board
100 cadets from the Naval Academy, who
started from Annapolis last week on
their summer cruise, and a CREW of IT'S
men. The cadets were much disheart-
ened, and as a heavy sea was running,
much Inconvenience. Their position is
not considered dangerous one as there
are number of people on shore with the
apparatus of the life saving station read Y

The old-time custom of tattooing the

The women wear ivory studs in the

publicanism. He is giving very few
offices to negroes, but it is well known
that white Republicans are only mem.
bers of a negro party in a Pickwickian
sense. This was as true of Grant as it
was of Hayes, Garfield or Arthur. No
one who knew Grant is likely to be-
lieve that he held the negro fit for
citizenship. He supported the negro
governments at the South with the
army as a party measure. Harrison
is different in this respect only because
the times are different AS a partisan

Mysterious Strangers in Town who
Seem Interested in Burke's Welfare.
WINNIPEG, Man., June 19.-Burke was
arraigned before police magistrate yes
terday and remanded fer ten days at the
request of Chief McRae, who submitted
kilograms from the Chicago authorities
to the effect that papers and copies of
photographs tending to show that he IS
the mysterious Williams were on the way
here. Burke was very nervous and urged
his lawyer to institute babeas corpus pro-
ceedings without delay. The latter, how
ever, after looking over the dispatches
concluded that it would be useless to
comply with the request and the prisoner
went back to Jail. Two mysterious indi-
viduals, strangers in town, were in court
and endeavored to engage in CONVERSE
ton with the suspect. They were, how
ever, prevented. 1t is surmised that they
are here in the interest of people who
are anxious that Burke shall not be re.
tu, ned to Chicago.

BAD FOR BURKE.

II the Winnipeg Arrest Turns Out as Ex.
Pected the Authorities will Have at
Least One Man Deeply Implicated in
the Cronin Murder in Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 19.-ssThe arrest of Mar.
TN Burke at Winnipeg is the most Inn
portant yet effected. He is deepe in the
plot than any of the men now in JAIL" so
said Chief of Police Hubbard last night.
From other sources a summary OF the
evidence affecting the suspect, and which
VIII be submitted to the grand jury with
In twenty-four hours, has been obtained.
A prominent North-sids Irishman will
testify that but a few weeks before the
murder Burke remarked in a public place
that LIE Caron should have been killed
before he had a chance of leaving for
England, and that there was another fell
low who would get it before he was many
weeks older. 1t will be shown that Burke
and ex-Detective Coughlin were fire.
quently seen together in saloons on the
North Side, and that the former was
frequent visitor at tho cottage of Ice man
Sullivan.
But the most important witness will be
old Mrs. Philbin, Burke's aunt, at whose
house, at Erie and Sedgwiok streets. he
boarded. By her it will be shown that he
lost his position in the city sewer depart

no employment Up to February he was
short of funds, ran in debt for his board
and borrowed an occasional dollar
wherever he could get it. From that
time on to his sudden flight from the city
he had plenty of money-more, in fact,
than when he was working. On the day
of DR.. Cronin's disappearance he was alb
sent from home. He did not return all
night. Sunday morning at eight O'Clock
he put in an appearance, heavy and
sleepy, and. in reply to questions, said
that he had slept all night at the ice
mans house. 1t will also be shown that
he was an active member of the inner
circle of Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael.
An officer will leave for Winnipeg as
soon as the necessary papers can be pro-
cured.
The grand jury spent over an hour yes
terday afternoon in going through the
twenty or more telegraphic and cable
dispatches produced by the Western
Union officials and supposed to have a
bearing on the case. All the members
of the body, however. had taken a special
injunction of secresy regarding the docu-
ments, and not a hint of what had been
developed could be obtained.
The jurors were not satisfied with the
abstract of Sullivan's operations SUBJ
mitted by Lester & Co., and called for
the firms books, half a ton of which were
hauled into court
Henry n. Stoltenborg, law clerk for
Sullivan & Windes, was questioned re-
garding the office life of Alex. Sullivan.
Robert Warren and Frank Johnson told
of his operations on the Board of Trade.
From the fact that Foreman Clough sent
q message to Judge Shepard, requesting
that court be kent omen until fine body
had been heard from it was believed that
some indictments would be returned last
evening. At six O'Clock, however, the
judge was notified that he need not wait
longer, and an hour later the body adj
journed.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
A WONDERFUL TOWN.

sTo-morrow's the Fourth, said sleepy Ned.
sAnd I'll be the very first one out of bed;
But for fear should happen to make mis-
take,
The whole night long shall stay awake
How wish the morning would come said he!
Dear me. Dear me!
And he fell asleep just then and there,
And dreamed OF a land called Rippantair.
It was wrong side to. and up side down,
And Rattle to-bang was the capital town,
Inhabited only by queer little boys
Who cared for nothing on earth but noise.
They rushed through the streets With a shout
and YELL
Pell NELL. Pell nell.
And none but a boisterous boy could bear
The racket and rout OF Rippantair
Whenever the wind blew fierce and high,
The shutters and doors began to fly,
There rose a CHATTER of pots and pans.
And the houses spun like wind mill fans;
The city ratified and roared and esng,
Slam bang! Slam bang.
And the boys all shouted: Where, oh,
where
Can you show US a land like Rippantair.'
He dreamed they had bugles and big bass
drums,
And instead of peaches and pears and plums
Squibs and crackers and rockets, too.
On every tree in their orchards grew;
And every day was the Fourth of July,
On, my. Oh my!
And every evening they filled the air
With splendid fireworks at Rippantair.
They finally bored for natural gas.
When a strange calamity came to pass;
They discovered-alas. it should make you
weep
A gunpowder subsoil three feet deep.
The matches were near-the powder was dry
Sky high Sky high.
With boom and a rash. CLEAN and
glare,
Went the shattered fragments Of Rippantair!
He woke with a, start; the sun was high;
He looked at the bed; he looked at the sky:
For he thought at first, he had just come
down
With the scattered wreck of that wonderful
town,
He heard his brothers laughing below
Oh, oh. Oh. oh!''
But he smiled and said: We'll, Idon't care
What Fourth had in Rippantar.''
