On Wednesday, August 19, the president will be present at the dedication exercises of the soldiers monument at Bennington. He will leave there Thurs day morning for Mount McGregor, remain ing Thursday and Friday. During his stay at McGregor the president will be given birthday dinner by w. J. Arkell, to which twenty or thirty gentlemen have been invited. He will also go fishing on private lake near that place. which is said to be filled with bass. The president will leave for Saratoga, arriving there in time for dinner. He will remain at the springs until August 25 when, under the escort of Secretary Proctor, he will start on his tour through Vermont. This tour will occupy four days and at it's conclusion the president will start at once for Cape May Point, arriving here on the 29th. His stay here is indefinite, but it is proba- ble that at least two weeks will be spent at the seashore cottage before another change is made. Much depends on the progress white house. This work, it is said, will not be finished before October 1, and the president may take hunting and fishing trip before he settles down for the win ter's work at Washington. On his coming tour the president will be accompanied by Private Secretary Halford, stenographer and representatives of the press associa- tions.

The Surrendered Itata VIII BE
Sent Back to San Diego,
Where Proceedings Against
Her Will Be Resumed

At the Point Where They Were Inter-
rupted, and the Question Decided
Whether or Not She Violated the Neu-
traIity Laws by Loading With Arms,
Etc, for the ChiIian Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Admiral Nc
Cam is expected to send the Itata back
to the United States. She will be deliv-
cred to the United States court officers
at San Diego, and the proceedings against
her for violation of the neutrality laws
will be resumed at the point where they
were interrupted.
Insurgents Proposed Surrender.
Secretary Tracy said that the desire
for a surrender came from the insur-
gents shortly after the vessel escaped,
and the proposal was accepted. The
proposition for peaceful surrender was
pending at the time the Charleston,
which was in pursuit Of the Itata, was
at Acapulco replenishing her dimin-
ished coal supply.
AS soon as the offer was accepted a
telegram authorizing him to cease the
chase was sent to Capt. Remey, of the
Charleston, but the steamer had already
sailed when the telegram reached Aca-
pulco, as the captain, unaware of the
turn affairs had taken, proceeded on his
search for the escaped vessel.
The fact of the acceptance of the Off
GERS to surrender the Itata on her ar
rival in Chilian waters was therefore
communicated to Admiral McCann,
who was therefore prepared to receive
the Itata on her arrival.

A GILLIAN NAVAL BATTLE.
Over 100 Killed of Whom the Rebe
Cruiser Lost Half

Over 100 Killed of Whom the Rebel
Cruiser Lost Halt.
I SAN Francisco, June 6.-Another ma
val battle occurred in the barber of Val
paraiso on the night of April %. The
Magallanes steamed to Valparaiso and
attacked the three government vessels
before they could be repaired
1t fired broadside into the Aldea,
which completely riddled the torpedo
boat, dismounted nearly all of her rapid
firing guns and killed and wounded
fully half her crew. The Lynch re-
turned the Magallanes' fire and attempt
ed to launch torpedo, but failed.
The Conden had steamed outside the
Magallanes and began firing, subjecting
the latter to the fire from both govern
ment ships, killing and wounding forty
of the Magallanes' crew.
The latter moved astern and the two
government ships were pouring broad
sides into each other
The Magallanes had steamed across
the stern of the Condell and had poured
in broadside which nearly destroyed
the latter.
When the Magallanes began to steam
out of the harbor the forts opened their
fire, but only one shell struck the rebel
cruiser, which tore big hole in her
deck and dislnounted her pivot gun. She
then proceeded to Caldera.
Over 100 men were killed in the en-
gagement, fully one-half of whom were
on board the Magallanes.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Secretary Foster
met large Mumber of bankers at TIE
sub-treasury Thursday to discuss the ex-
tension of the four. and-a-half per cent,
bonds. After discussion Mr.. Seligman
was called to the chair and the following
resolution adopted:
RESOLVED, That this meeting, composed
of representatives of banks, trust compan-
les and bankers of New York, hereby ex-
press to the secretary it's unanimous opin-
ion in view of the necessity for an increase
of circulating notes for the movement Of
the abundant coming crops of every va
riety it is to the interest of the country to
extend the maturing four-and-a-half per
cent. bonds at the rate of 2 per cent. inter
est, payable at the pleasure of the govern
ment, and that a lower rate of interest
would tend to contract the currency at a
time inconvenient to all business interests.
Secretary Foster reserved his decision
and made no announcement as to what
his policy would be, but it Is generally
understood that he will act in accord
ance with the resolution.
The National banks represented noti-
fed the secretary that they stood ready
in case bonds were extended to buy
them in the open market and take ont

Double Hanging in Nebraska.

FREMONT, Neb., June 6.-Charles
Shepherd and Chris. Furst were hanged
Friday for the murder of Carlos T. Pull
sifer, an aged farmer, near Crowell,
Neb. Pulsifer was quite wealthy, and
as there was no bank in that village he
carried his money with him at night.
The two men planned to rob him, and
on the night of Dec. 10, 1889, they way
laid and shot him down, robbing the
body of $50, which was all he had. Gov
ernor Thayer refused to interfere with
the findings of the court and ordered out
the militia to protect the sheriff at the
execution, and to keep the people from
tearing down the stockade in which the
murderers were hanged. Both men con-
fessed their guilt on the scaffold.

The United States Postal Special Delivery
System.

The UnI:ed States Postal Special Delivery
System.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-There will
soon be some radical improvements
made in the special delivery service of
the postofiice system.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is en-
gagged just now III agitating the post
masters throughout the country on this
subject. He finds that in many of the
cities of from 10, 600 to40, 900 inhabitants,
and in few of the larger cities, the
special delivery system has become al
most matter on paper only. The de-
cline of the special delivery system in
many of the cities is due to Il lack of in
terest taken in it by the postmasters, as
the law upon the subject has not made it
mandatory for postmasters to popularize
this branch of the postoffice service.
At Boston the special delivery service
has been brought up to high point OF
excellence. On an average letter there
is delivered within thirteen minutes after
it is received at the postoftice. In some
of the cities Of the central and western
states the average time for delivering
letter bearing the special delivery stamp
is over one hour. The postmaster gen.
eral believes that while it is not possible
to name the time for special delivery as
brief us that at Boston at every place,
there is no possible excuse for the de-
cline of this service to the low ebb he
finds it in in many of the large cities,
and he is asking the postmasters why
they have permitted the service to de-
cline and what they can suggest in the
way of improvement to build the service
up and max it more popular.
Mr. Wanamaker says that it should be
better understood than it is now that for
ten cents persons living in special deliv-
cry cities may have mail matter deliv-
cred, if the law is enforced as ii should
be, within fifteen or twenty minutes
from the time the special delivery letter
or package is deposited in the postoffice,
whereas the cost for delivery with the
same length of time if the district mes.
senger service is patronized, would be
two to three times ten cents. 1t is Mr..
Wanamaker's purpose to improve the
special delivery service to point where
it shall not only compete favorably with
the private messenger service in the way
of cost, but excel it in the matter of
time required for delivery.

Close Cap on an Incline Railway.

READING, Pa, June G.-Fifteen of the
doctors attending the convention of the
State Medical society had a narrow es-
cape Thursday night on car of the
Highland house incline railway through
the failure of the steel cable to work
properly. The cable caught on one of
the pulleys after the car had started
down, and on being released the car
dashed down the incline some thirty feet
at great speed. When the slack was
taken out of the cable it came to a sud
den stop. Passengers were thrown vio-
lently forward and several were more or
less hurt.
