NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The World pub

CAPE MAY POINT, n. J., Aug. p
The mystery of the presidents cottage
at Cape May Point is solved at last. II
was gift, but the adverse COM
ment on its acceptance impelIed Presi-
dent Harrison to pay over the amount
it and the furniture in 1t cost. The cor
respondent of the World tonight, in
answer TO an explicit written inquiry,
obtained the following equally explicit
statement from William V. MoKean,
chief editor of the Philadelphia Ledger.
who raised the subscription for the pur-
chase of the cottage:
CAPE MAY PoINT, Aug. Dear
Sir: You write me that the New
York World desires to know from me
whether payment for the Cape May
Point cottage has been made by the
president or by any one for him. To
this 1 reply, without recognize
ing any obligation to give an
swer to the question, that
the president has paid in cash for the
cottage and its contents; $4,000 for the
cost of the cottage, and $1,000 for the
cost of its furniture and equipments,
$4,000 in ell. That payment Is abso-
lutte, so far as the president
is concerned, he having expressed I'M
bounded satisfaction with the cottage
and property. That payment is consd-
cred final by the subscribers and is
accepted Us final very greatly TO
their regret and against their wishes
frequently and earnestly expressed TO the
president Very truly
W. V. MCKEAN.
The correspondent asked Mr. Mexican
to whom Mr.. Harrison paid the money.
but he would not say. All he would say
IN addition TO what he had written was
that the gentlemen concerned received
their money back very reluctantly.

LONDON, Aug. Am accident oc-
CURED at Atherstone, warwickshire, to-
day, injuring large number of people,
but providentlally killing none. Az i'm
mense grandstand had been erected from
which to view military tOurnam ent in
progress at that place, and at the time
of the accident 1t was occupied by Is ZOO
people, while 10 900 more were closely
packed on either side. Suddenly q crash
was heard and n section of the stand fell
to the ground carrying with 1t over 1000
spectators. 1t was fortunate that the
fall was not very great, as many people
might have been killed, but as it
was large number were injured
some of them seriously. When the crash
came the immense gathering became
panic stricken and trampled upon the
PROSTATE ones in their frantic efforts to
escape from danger, the extent of which
they were not aware. Several cool
headed men were successful in allRying
the fears of the fleeing ones and turned
many of them bnck to render assistance
to the injured. DR.. Parks, surgeon of
Stanley exposition, was present aud he
with several local physicians, dressed
the wounds of the injured
DISGUSTING EXPOSURE.
The publication by ex-Queen Natalie
of Seryia of the story of the divorce pro-
ceedings brought against her by King
Milan, together with an account of the
fragrant conduct OF her husband with
MadameChustich has greatly exasperated
Milan. who is endeavoring TO ind some
means of retaliation, Natalie also
scores the subservient METROPOLITAN who
granted the divorce in spite OF the fact
that the evidence was wholly IN favor OF
herself, and the probH bilities are that
another attempt will be made to exclude
the ex-queen from Servia before she gets
ready to leave on her contemplated visit to
Russia, whore it is understood she will
take up her permanent residence. 1t Ii
stated that Milan g excuses have greatly
impaired mis- health and slieuated many
of those who have stood by him in hII
troubles.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The story that
has been gong the rounds about an
agreement between the Democratic sem
ators TO talk the tariff bill to death turns
out 10 be entirely without foundation
The conferences held from time
to time between Senator German
and his Democratic associates have been
Informal, but there was a general con-
census of opinion that it was policy TO
let the tariff bill pass, only that every
weak spot in 1t should be exposed. This
will probably take up some six weeks.
The river and harbor bill and other
measures will probably be considered
which will consume perhaps ten days or
two weeks, prolonging the session that
much more, so that unless violent means
are used TO change the rules the election
bill is not likely 10 be taken up in time to
be applied at the fall elections, if taken
up at all.
BRECKENRIDGE CONTESTED ELECTION.
The majority report of the election
committee declares that Breckenridge
WAS not elected, and will doubtless be
adopted II an "ocular' quorum can be
counted by the speaker. The minority
report is q very strong document and
completely disposes OF the charges
against the sitting member. It appears
that the committee did not make
thorough investigation, and clos
ed the case by refusing Mr..
BreckinridGe's application 10 take
further testimony which would unioubt-
eddy have made Mr.. Breckenridge title
to his seat too clear for even the present
election committee TO overlook. When
Mr.. BreCkinridge is uDseated he will be
nominated for the vacancy and will also
run for the next congress at the same
election.

ground that it would accomplish no prac-

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. Aug. 3.-Allen G.
Prier, prominent cattleman of the
Cherokee Strip and town lot boomer of
Oklahoma, who arrived here this morn
ing, says the whole country is burning to
q crisp. There will not be crop of any
kind. Settlers Will not have even hay
enough for their horses IL they will be
able TO keep from selling them, which is
doubtful. Corn is worth 90 cents a
bushel in Oklahoma now, and not
enough has been raised TO feed span of
mules. Hundreds OF petitions are
being circulated throughout the
territory and the adjoining states
asking for help for the suffering settlers.
Mr.. Prisr stated that the cattle of the
Cherokee Strip were in n horrible condi-
tlou and that they were forced TO move
them by October aud that there was no
where they could be taken. There is no
grazing for them aud the result is they
ure skin and bones.

President Harrison knew the condition
of affairs he would give us additional
time TO get out. Considering how every
thing is burned up and how we cannot
take our cattle TO Kansas to fatten we
should have at least until Dec. !. -

PARIS. Aug. 2.-The Steele and Figar o

against the car has been discovered in
st. Petersburg. According to these re-
ports Professor Cortowski OF the univer-
sity of ST. Petersburg and q number of
students at that institution, who II is
alleged are concerned in the plot, have
been arrested and many persons have
been taken into custody in Moscow on
the same charge. Officers OF high rank
in the Russian army have committed sui
eide, and it is supposed they were found
to be implicated in the conspiracy against
the czar and took their lives rather than
undergo arrest and the punishment which
was sure to follow.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Aug. 2.-The movement In
favor of general protest to the Russian
government against its Ill treatment of
Jews. is receiving the warm support of
all the London and provincial newspa-
pers. The unanimity of the press on
this subject is due to the fear that u mil
lion or more Russian Jews will take
refuge In London if life is intolerable in
Russia. The city is already so over
crowded with foreign pauper laborers
that such an Influx would cause serious
trouble.
"BELLE BnToN," OR LADY DUNLo,
in an interview confirmed the report that
Visoount Dunlo had an interview with
her since the recent decision of the
divorce case in her favor. She says that
the noble youth seems disposed to edo
the proper thing but that his father
refuses to continue his allowance IL he
lives with his wife. The idea of his sup
porting her by earning money through
his own eXertiOn is of course not conceiY-
able. There is little prospect of the
couple maintaining domestic relations
therefore until Lord Clancarty dies or
undergoes change OF heart. Lady
Dunlo declares, nevertheless, that she
will never compromise her rights nor re-
lax her efforts to enforce their recog-
milton. She denies the rumor that the
viscount is going on a hunting trip in
Africa.
BEHRING SEA AGITATION SUBSIDIZED.
Agitation of Behring sea dispute has
subsidized. Great Britain, having de-
clared her attitude, is apparently not
anxious to say any more about the mat
ter. The Times asserts "thst the Ben
ring sea outside the three mile limit is
just as free TO all the world as the
English channel or MEDITERRANEAN, nor
eau any attempt to restrict that freedom
be described otherwise than as an usurpa-
tion OF well-established rights - So far
as war and rumors of war, nothing more
is heard or intimated, but tine British
squadron recently gathered at Esuuimalt
will remain in the North Pacific pre-
pared for such action as the American
cruisers may give occasion for. 1t is
certain that Canadian sealers will be
protected as long as they keep three
miles away from American and Russian
territory. fWe. have no quarrel with
the United States,'' said Lord STANDBY
of Alderly at n dinner last Thurday
evening, "but British subjects must and
will be protected the world over in the
exercise of their lawful rights.

She did nor LIIecrhr-,>au,r.

Miss Anna Smith was married or
Thursday of last week ut her home
near Pendleton to Hubert MunforG
Carlton. The ceremony was perform
eel by the Rev. Mr.. Pritchurd.
There is bit of interesting g roman.
ce connected with the marriage. The
name of the groom until recently has
been Andrew Jackson Tymms. He
was an ardent suitor for Miss Smiths
hand and heart, and although she
was probably impressed with the man
she did not admire his name and
would not consent to become Mr..
Tymms' wife until his name had been
changed. Mr.. Tymms was at loss
to know how to do away with the ob-
lection. Miss Smith, however, came
to the rescue and petitioned the Leg
lslature to change Mr.. Tymms' name
to Hubert Munford Carlton. This
was done and Miss Smith is now Mrs.
Carlton.
