Of Buffalo Bill. They were the Paris jour

was served.
On the arrival here the party was met by
Nate Salisbury, who sald the ship
had been signalled off the Scilly
Isles, and would arrive at half past
o'clock. AT 5 the whole party started for
the purpose of meeting her, and cruised in
about n ten mile circle until, at half-past O.,
the captain sighted smoke on the horizon.
The tug made for her, and in less than an
hour made out the Persian Monarch The
tug then turned aud made for the harbor
The steamer overlook her and steamed
slowly, with the tug putting full speed along
side to keep pace with her. Buffalo Bill was
on the bridge, and crowds of all sorts OF In
dians were on the upper deck. A shout Of
welcome to Colonel Cody was received by
the cowboys shrill cry, aud yells of delight
from the Indians.
The band on Buffalo Bills ship struck up
yankee Doodle" which was Gpplauded by
those on the tug followed by the "Marseil-
laise" raising shouts of enthusiasm and
cries of "Vivc rAmerique" from the French
pressmen on the steamer.
The huge leviathan was accompanied by
the tug until eight bells struck, when the
health boat steamed up. The captain cried
let go the anchor, and alongside we went.
Owing to the late hour there was not enough
water for the ship to enter the harbor and,
for some reason, clcaG bill Of health could
not be given, so Nate Salisbury went aboard
and was obliged to stay, while Colonel Cody
given to welcome him.
The banquet of fifty covers was given as
soon rs the party returned, and amongst the
invited guests, besides the press of Rouen
and Havre, were: M. Dufrais, United States

proposed. The United States consul re-
gretted the absence Of Buffalo Bill but said
he would welcome him, tomorrow, as u rep.
resentative American and as soldier, who
had won his grades and titles.
The English consul general made telling
speech, expressing his sense of gratitude for
the good feeling existing between the Anglo

AT SWORDS POINTS.
A Jolly Row in the Chicago Police
Department..

bCpurtfntnt.
CHICAGO, May 1O.- Special Telegram to
The BEE. In one way or another the
anarchist question seems fated to keep the
Chicago police department in hot water.
Captain Setback, the redoubtable North
Side "burgomaster," who was so prominent
in the anarchist matter after the Haymarket
massacre, has been laboring for q long time
on a book of "reminiscences OF those exciting
times, and local paper to-day published a
number of excerpts from the advance sheets,
selecting, particularly, some portions which
contained severe reflections on Frederick
Ebersold, who was at that time chief of
police.
Setback charges Ebersold with beng
responsible for the escape of Schnaubelt,
the supposed thrower of the bomb; and with
incompetency in the; management Of the
case; and says other things. All this has
caused tempest in the police department.
MIR. E5ersold says that the statements are
"a pack of lies" and makes counter. charges
of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man against Captain Setback and says that
the latter was and is now suffering from
severe attack of 'swelled head.n He even
says that after the trial was concluded
Setback was anxious to allow the anarchists
to form new groups, that the police might,
after time, chase them down and thus keep
the public excited over the affair indefinitely.
Mr.. Ebersold was not on the force during
Mayor Roche's administration, but Mayor
Cregier recently reappointed him as inspec-
tor. 1t is held by his friends that the publi-
cation after his restoration was a gross act
of insubordination.
Chief Hubbard, this afternoon, said that
no steps had been taken in the matter of
disciplining the offender, but that if Inspec.
tor Ebersold would prefer charges, prompt
action would be had on them.

CAPTURED MoONSHINERS.
A Bold and Successful Raid Among
the Illicit Stills.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, May TO- Special
Telegram to THE BEE. For the last four
years desperate gang of moonshiners has
infested the widest portion of Mcdowell
county, West Virginia. A desperate named
Moran was the leader. Recently Detective
Baldwin of Charleston, was detailed to work

ment officers made long prepared raid.
Moran and three others were surrounded in
still. Moran was shot dead ana the others
surrendered. The detective force then pro-
ceeded to arrest the other members of the

tured fifteen persons who had been engaged
IN the business. Two of them are women

THE DANISH MISSION.
John Enander Not Acceptable to the
Hing of Denmark.

N1ng oI
CHICAGO, May 10.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE.l-A Washington special says the
real reason why Mr.. John Enandcr, of Chi.
cago, has resigned his commission as Minis
ter to Denmark is not that his health is so
precarous. The fact of the matter ls Sec
retary Blame recently received communi-
cation from Copenhagen, which briefly
stated that the appointment OF Mr.. Enandcr
was not acceptable to the king of Denmark,
and that he would not be received at the
Danish court. No explanation was given for
the attitude of the king, but it is quite prob.
able that the opposition is purely a po-
litical one. At least this Is the opinion
Of the state department officials who have
from past experience learned that it is dan
gerous TO appoint naturalized citizen to a
diplomatic mission in q country from which
he came. Other motives than desire to
seek fortune in new country frequently
impel foreigners to come here, and the real
cause of their departure does not come to
light until they venture to return TO their
native land rs representatives, of the govern.
ment of their adoption, when some almost
forgotten political oifense bobs up TO defeat
their ambition.

The Pension Commissioner Makes a
Ringing Speech.


COLUMBUS, Tenn, May 10.-The Scotch
Irish convention to-day listened to number
of addresses by prominent persons. The
commissioner of pensions spoke at some
length and in the course of his speech, said:
"For long years l have have had one con-
scientious conviction in my heart which is
stronger to-day than ever before, namely,
that it is the bounden duty of this great re-
public to see to it that no man who wore
the blue and laid 1t off in honor,
shall ever feel the necessity of,
or be permitted to crawl under the roof of
an almshouse for shelter The wolf of want
must, in common decency, be driven from
the door of the manned or diseased veterans,
and of the widows and orphans Of those who
have already laid down their lives.n
After giving some statistics showing the
number of pensioners receiving different
rates, from 81 per month up to 1916 per
month, the commissioners added:
'Eor twenty years and under varying
circumstances, have pleaded the cause of my
comrades who wore the blue. For twenty
years have been able only to plead but
now l am thankful that at these finger tips
there rests some power, and as that power Is
mine, l boldly say that l propose just as
soon as possible, to call in every
