THE WORLDS FAIR.
Illinois Will Appropriate $500, 900
SwindIers Booming the EXPOSITION.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 1.-THE confer
ence committee of the legislature agreed to-
day on an appropriation of SS0O, 900 for the
Illinois exhibit at the Worlds fair. The
senate adopted the report, and the house
viii undoubtedly adopt it tomorrow.
CHICAGO, June 11.-At meeting of the
board of control of the national Worlds
fair commission today preamble and
resolutions were adopted setting forth that
the board has learned that efforts are be-
ing made by individuals and by corpora
tions. manifestly organized for the pur-
pose, to obtain authoritative recognition so
as to constitute such person quasi-official
agent for the advertisement of the exposi-
tion to foreign countries. Such efforts are
clearly inspired by expected gain, and
have not for their primary or principal OBJ
iect the promotion and success of the ex-
position. The board therefore declares
that no person shall be permitted to exer-
else such functions without the approval
of either the national commission, the
board of control or the director general
through the department of foreign affairs.
A convention of travelling men, repre-
senting different associations, has resolved
to form body TO be known as the Worlds
the membership to be composed of all or
ganized bodies of travelling men in the
United States, and foreign drummers will
be invited 10 become members. The body
will have charge of gathering Worlds
fair travelling mems congress in Chicago
during the progress of the fair.

LONDON. June 1.-THE fact that in his
examination in the Cumming case the
Prince of Wales was not asked whether he
divulged the secret of the precis. while
all the other, parties to the affair were
questioned on that point, is taken as con-
firmation of the rumor that the secret did
actually owe its publicity to the careless
tongue of his royal highness. The story
is that the prince confided it to Lady
Brooke, who in turn revealed it to a
friend of hers who happened to have been
scorned by Sir William Gordon Cumming,
and who at once saw in the episode an op-
portunity for her revenge.
Several radical members of the COM
mons have decided to put series of ques-
tions to the government bearing upon the
responsibility which the Tranbycroft
party incurred in concealing Sir William
Gordon Cummings offense, and the ques-
ton of military discipline involved. II
the replies are unsatisfactory they will
move an adjournment.
The municipal authorities of Forres, in
the vicinity of Sir William Gordon Cum

tend festive welcome 10 Sir William on
Saturday, on the occasion of his return

Dynamite Intended for Trout Explodes
in His Hands.

CESTRALrA, June IL. - Especial Burt
Wescott, middle-aged man, met with a
serious accident this morning while out
fishing with two companions in the
Skookumchuck river above Bucoda. The
party was using dynamite. and Wescott
was in the act of preparing the cap to
place in the cartridge, when it exploded,
tearing the right hand to shreds, shatter-
ing the bone and leaving nothing but the
tendon hanging to the wrist. The un-
fortunate man was placed in a buggy by
his companions, I. S. Swarthout and
John Saunders, and driven as rapidly as
possible to this city. The blood flowed
freely from the wound and Wescott was
kept from swooning by liberal supplies of
stimulants. Arrived here, he was taken
to the Office of Drs. Francis & Dumon,
who amputated the hand above the wrist.
Notwithstanding the severe strain on him,
Wescott is doing well at the present time.
Only a short time since he met with
severe accident while working in the
Michigan sawmill, caused by the explosion
of the full wheel, knocking down the hip
bone and tearing hole in the abdominal
cavity.

Wounded by a woman-The w. C. II.
U. Convention at Centraria.

ELLEsssURG, June 11.-ISpeciall--After
being out eighteen hours, the jury returned
a verdict this morning of murder in the
second degree In the case of Richard
Anderson, colored. He was convicted in
the first degree last year, and was SEN
fenced to be hanged, buton an appeal the
supreme court granted him a new trial,
technically because the verdict had not
been read to the prisoner before the Jury
was discharged. The crime for which he
was convicted was rather cold blooded,
1t occurred at Roslyn in April, 1889. He
and another colored man named Charles
Fox had quarrel over game of craps.
A few days afterward Fox went out hunt
ing. He returned and stepped into Ander-
sons saloon carrying his gun. Without a
word Anderson drew his pistol and shot
him dead. II is estimated that the case
cost the county over $500.
Other convictions today were Dennis
Connolly, for horse stealing; Daniel RAN
som and John Malone, both for burglary.
They will all be sentenced Monday.
