in the Queen City.
A Big Procession, a Banquet
and Speeches.
Battle With Tramps on an
Indiana Railroad.

DENVER, May IA great throng OF
people welcomed the president this morn
ing with shouts of welcome. The city
was beautifully decorated and when the
train rolled IN the national salute was
fred. Senators Wolcott and Teller were
the first to welcome the president and
then came the governor of Colorado. The
party quickly entered carriages and the
procession started. 1t consisted of United
States troops, Colorado national guard,
high school cadets and civic organizations.
The procession traversed the principal
streets of the city. Around the high
school, where the speech making oc-
CURED, were massed row after row Of
children and many ladies'. As the pres
ident passed the little folks strewed
flowers in his path and raised a shout,
which was kept up for some time. The
president made a brief speech to the
children, after which the procession made
its way to the Hotel Metropole, where a
banquet had been prepared. Afterwards
the procession reformed and proceeded to
the stand at Lincoln avenue, where a vast
audience listened to the speech making.
The president made a brief speech in
which he referred to the marvellous
development of Colorado, etc, touched
briefly on the subject of irrigation and cx
pressed the satisfaction and surprise with
which he had witnessed the magnificent
commercial developments made in Denver.
He also addressed himself briefly to his
G. A. r. comrades anc thanked the
citizens heartily for the demonstration,
which he accepted as a spontaneous
tribute to American free institutions.
While the speaking was going on the
ladies OF the party were entertained at
Mrs Governor Routt's, where a reception
was held.
AKRON, Colo. May l2.-The presi-
dent and party passed through Akron,

night. They are accompanied by George
Colby. commanding the Nebraska State
Guard, and Col. Griffith. United States
army, who brought a message OF welcome
to the state of Nebraska to the president
from Governor Thayer and reported for
duty as special aides. The president &C
cepted their services and said incidentally
that he should recognize Governor Thsyer
as the chief executive OF the state.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, MAY l2.-The pros
spect Is for a splendid Derby at Churchill
Downs tomorrow. The weather is fair
and cool, there has been no rain and there
is slight prospect OF any. The track will
be fast and the race promises to be one Of
the most exciting. The starters will be:
Balcowan, who may have Overtown up;
Kingman. with Isaac Murphy; Valera,
with Britson; GEORGETOWN, with Kiley,
and Hart Wallace, Easton and the Lar
abier pair, High Tariff and Poet Scout.
The betting was lively tonight with King

field. While Balgowan is second choice,
Georgetown will probably be posted at
shorter odds before the colts lace the flag

LONDON May l2.-N hen nature eS-
tablishes an equilibrium by bestoWing a
spendthrift upon a misery and avaricious
parent there ensues unpleasant hours for
the latter, and this is why Queen Victoria
is sad. 1t is now almost an open secret
that the good old lady has been compelled
to come down with some 1900, 900 or
E4OO, 900 in order to save her heir appar-
eut from actual prosecution for debt. The
Prince OF Wales is forced to exc out a
scanty subsistence upon a tritle of over
$500, 900 per year, or 100000. of which
parliament allows him 100000. His
revenue from the duchy of Cornwall is
about go, 600 more, while his military
Offices and other emoluments make up the
balance. But the Prince of Wales is a
heavy gambler aud an unlucky me HIS
attempt to keep Il racing stable cost him
many thousand pounds, and his efforts to
pick the INNER on the tracks many
thousands more For the last two years
1t has been whispered hat the princes
creditors we're becoming impatient, and
that a scandal would ensue if they were
not paid. Large sums were advanced to
the royal beggar. first by Col. North. the
nitrate king, and then by Baron Hirsch,
the Austrian railroad magnate, both of
whom were repaid by being per.
mitted q certain amount of the
princes valuable society for brief
periods, but the prince kept on betting
and playing baccarat and the money did
not last long. Nor were his gambling
losses confined to England. for his debts
are a matter OF record at the Cercle Roy
ale and Cercle del Merletoni in oaris.
Now it came to pass early in the month of
March that Baron Hirsch went to Monte
Carlo and engaged the hands0mest and
most magnificent villa he could find to en-
terrain the Prince of Wales, the royal
gentleman having promised to be the
~millionaire's guest for a week or two.
The baron spared no expense in making
preparations and he invited a lot of illus
trious personages to meet the prince. The
prince did not come because his mother
would not let him, his familiarity with
Hirsch having caused much CONSERVATION
in royal circles on the continent, since II
baron, being a jew. is prescribed at the
of his own country. Ii is Hirsch's
anger over this slight that has brought
about the promised calamity. He has
made a most urgent demand OF the prince
Tor his money, and since an appeal to par
lament for assistance would be hopeless,
the queen is compelled TO sign her august
name to a large check to avert scandal.
This is very wise conduct on the part OF
the old lady if she desires her son to sue
coed her to the throne of England.

Forest Fires.

HUNTINGTON, Pa, May 70 Over
1000 acres of valuable timber land are
afame within a radius of seven miles of
this place and in different parts of the
county the woodland is being swept away
at an alarming extent. Mountain fires
are beyond human control and can only be
extlnguished by rainfall. Farmers in the
whole burning district have sustained ir-
repairable losses to fencing and hundreds
of acres OF grain have been ruined. Many
farmers buildings are threatened.
BELLEFoNTE, Pa, Nav l2-The dam
age done by forest fires raging throughout
the county has been enormous. All along
the Buffalo Run railroad the fire has
burned miles of fence, orchards and valu-
able standing and cut timber. Much farm
property has been destroyed. The losses
will run into the hundreds OF thousands
of dollars.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis May r.
Famed by a strong wind, the forest fires
near this city are gradually encroaching
upon the suburbs. Today the fires in the
neighborhood OF South Superior assumed
formidable shape, and several hundred
people fought the flames this afternoon.
Fires are burning at many points along
the Omaha road.
CHEBoYGAN, Mich, May l2.-Forest
fires are doing considerable damage in the
interior. Much property has been de-
stroyed, including barns. fences and stand
ing timber. Unless a rain SCOT comes the
damage will be great. The city is wrapped
in a dense smoke, and the Mackinac
straits are so densely overhung with
smoke as to seriously impede the progress
of all boats. Several hamlets are in
danger.

WASHINGTON, May I2.-Up to the
close of business hours no news was re-
ceived at the navy department of the
movements of the Charleston, The Itata
started from San Diego last Wednesday
evening-six days ago-and if pushed to
her highest speed must be nearly out of
coal, so she must soon put into port some
where to replenish her bunkers. The
Charleston is also probably nearly out Of
coal, and news from one or the other ofthe
vessels may be expected very soon. Some
comment was caused among the state de-
partment people by the telcgraphed state
ment that the Chilian insurgent cruiser
Esmeralda was now at Acapulco. The
tact that her presence in port is tolerated
Is regarded here as a quasi-recognition by
the Mexican government of the insurg-
ents as belligerent4. If this recognition
should take formal shape it might have
important results for the insurgents, for
under the neutrality laws their vessel
would find an asylum IN Mexican ports.

New York. May ia stabbing
affray which bears a strong resemblance to
the work of the Malta occurred last night
in the Italian quarter in West Hoboken.
The only thing known about the case In
the Italian quarter is the name of the man
who was stabbed and the probability that
his wounds are dangerous. There is a
wound IN his breast and another In the
neck, both made with a s~tilleto.
The victim is Louis Pento. a silk
weaver, who boarded IN Spring street.
He had given up his employment and
made arrangements to sail for Italy yes
terday. Last evening he was the center
OF a group of excited Italians who were
talking and ~gesticulating at West and
Hague streets. Suddenly two of the
Italians seized hun, one on each side, and
a third PLUNGED a stIlleto into his breast
and neck. Some of the other Italians in
terfered and saved him from being muir
dered outright.
Justice S~chnurger of Union Hill, who
was a witness of the scene, sent for a
policeman. but before the messenger could
find him Perito's assailants we're released
by their COMPANIONS and had disappeared.
running in the direction of jersey City.
Policeman Vermolt followed them for a
short distance, hut soon cav up the
chase.
Perito refuses to disclose the names of
his assailants or make any complaint
against them. The West Hoboken police
hold that this relieves them from all re.
sponsihility in the matter. and will not
make any effort to capture the murderers.
A resident of the Italian quarter ad-
vances the theory that Perito was pos
sessed of some secret that they feared he
might divulge when he reached Italy and
they decided to kill him.

AmnIgamated sreeI-w orkers.

PITTsBURG, Pa May l2.-It has been
ascertained that all the Pittsburg lodges
et the Amalgamated Association Of Iron
and Steel Workers have voted in favor Of
asking an advance Of so cents a ton in the
price of pudding for the next scale year,
dating from July l. The present rate for
the Western mills is $3.50 a ton. Last
year an effort was made to induce the
Amalgamated Association to undertake a
similar demand. but the Pittsb-rg mill
delegates were voted down by the outside
representatives. and the scale of 1889 was
reafirmed. The association has about
IS, 900 members. and its demands affect
nearly as many workmen not identified
with the organization. The request for
the increase will be resisted by the
manufacturers, who claim that the con
tinued depression in trade will not permit
of an advance in wages. On the other
hand, the A~malEamated people assert that
the enormous demand for all manner OF
iron and steel consequent upon the
Columbian exposition will not only push
their mills TO their fullest capacity, but
naturally create an advance in prices, in
which the workers have a right to share.
The amalgamated convention, before
which the matter will come, will com

New YORK, May 12.-John F. Went
worth, who has been a lawyer in Wash
ington for the last three years, was com
mitted to Bellevue hospital by Justice
Wild in the Harlem court yesterday for
examination as to his sanity.
Tho alleged betrayal of a sister is said
to be the cause of the young lawyers
trouble. He is 30 years old and comes
from a good family in Milwaukee. His
sister, a handsome girl of 20, came to
New York a year ago. Mr.. Wentworth
did not learn why she had left her home
IN Milwaukee until about four months ago.
Recently he got the name and description
OF the man who wa responsible for his
SISTERS misfortune. He came to New
York at once to look for him, and ven to
the residence Of DR.. Francis f. Root, "a
West One Hundred and Fourth street.
DR.. Root is a distant relative of the law
yer. When Wentworth told the doctor
the object of his visit the doctor did not
first believe the YounR man was in earnest,
but took the p%recaution to watch him
rather closely.
A day or two after his arrival Went
worth, having found the mau he sought,
learned that he was in the habit of leaving
home about 8 O'Clock every morning and
generally rode down town on the Ninth
avenue road; also that he took the train
at the Ninety-third street station. Yes
terday DR.. Rootfound Wentworth examin-
ing a 32-calibre revolver. He loaded it
carefully and the doctor asked him what
he was going to do with it.
II have at last found the b~etrayer OF
nv sister, Wentworth replied. Then
the doctor left the ROOM, and when re-
turning an hour later Wentworth had
escaped. When he discovered Went
worth's absence DR.. Root hurried out and
overlook him at Ninety-fourth street.
Wentworth was hurrying to the station
and was within a block of it.
Don try to interfere with me. I'm
determined TO meet that man" be said
threateninRly. as he turned and saw the
doctor. DR.. Root walked quietly beside
Wentworth for a few steps and then
turned suddenly and threw his arms
about him. Wentworth struggled to
to withdraw his hand from his over
coat pocket. in which it had
been buried since DR.. Root had first
caught sight of him. The doctor held
him, however, until Policeman Koran ar
rived. The officer found the loaded re-
volver in Wentworth's right overcoat
pocket and took possession of it. Went
worth was taken to West One Hundredth
street station, and from there he was sent
to the court. where DR.. Root said he be-
iieved the lawyers mind was affected.
well, what have you to say to this2"
was asked BY the justice
Il waive examination" Wentworth
quietly answered.
He was sent down stairs to await the
arrival of an ambulance.
Dr.. Root says Wentworth's mother
and father are residing in the city, but he
refuses to reveal the locality. He says,
however, that he believes he is connected
with a downtown publishing house.

CHIcA5o, May l2.-Last Friday Alfred
Towsley was arrested at Austin, a suburb
of Chicago, on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. and locked up in the police station.
Yesterday Mrs. Towsley, his wife, called
in him at the station. and after a brief
conversation drew Il revolver and fired
twice at him, both shots taking effect in
the mans heart, instantly killing him.
The cause of the shooting was Towsley's
inhuman attempts to criminallY assault
his l~S-year-oid s~tep.daughter, Edna
Towsley. Mrs. TcwsleY made no effort to
escape and was Immediately placed under
arrest.
