meath one roof. The whole hotel was de-

friends. From the summit of the building
waved an enormous American flag. The

with the British and American colors and
decorated with flowers and plants over
eighty guests were assembled at luncheon,
including United States Minister Robert
Lincoln, Viscount Cross, Sir Richard Web
ster, Sir Edwin Arnold, Calvin s. Brice,
Sir John Pender. Sir Charles Upper, Rob
ert S. Mccormick and Sir Henry Wood.
This was in reclprocation OF the British
hospitality, as the banquet was rendered by
the American foreign committee to the Brit
ish Worlds fair commissioners and others.
The dining room was beautifully decorated
with flowers, plants and flags. Ex-Con-
gresham Butterworth presided The

States" and the Queen were drank with
great enthusiasm. Messrs. Butterworth,
Peck and Handy made most automatically
worded speeches. returning thanks Tor the
hospitality accorded them, ana clearly eA-
planning the objects and intentions OF the
fair. Minister Lincoln made lengthy
speech. assuring foreign exhibitors thai
the United States would use every en-
deavor to facilitate their exhibits, conclud-
ing with the remark that Chicago has
never yet failed in any public undertaking
and never will"
Viscount Cross, secretnry OF state Tor
India, in happy speech said England was
heartily and entirely with the United States
in this matter and will do everything pos
sible to insure the best representation not
only of herself but of her colonies. As
Viscount Cross is a great friend Of the
Queen his utterance is said beyond doubt to
have been authorized by the government.
Many other prominent personages were
among the speakers and letters of regret
were read from Chauncey NJ. Depew and
Hon. w. E. Gladstone. The latter ex-
pressed the hope in his letter that the fair
would tend materially to advance the COM

The Car Still Distrusts France.

correspondent of the Times telegraphs that
the Official journals do not like the en-
thusiasm that has been aroused by the
visit from the French fleet to Cronstadt.
1t is asserted the Car is displeased with
the manifestation made in favor of the re-
public. and that he ordered that no pleasure
steamer be allowed TO approach near the
French war ships when he visited Admiral
Gervais. 1t is not believed in this city that
the visit of the French squadron to Cron-
stadt will have lasting effect upon the
friendly relations existing between the two
countries The opinion is expressed that
the Gar will never consent to any actual
alliance with the French republic, and it is
asserted the Car was only with the great
est difficulty persuaded to abandon for a
moment his known distrust of France.

The st. Mande Collision Still ExcItes Paris


PARIS, July 2S.-The terrible excursion
train collision at 1t. Msnde, near this city,
is still the feature of popular interest here
The newspapers of this city and provinces
are filled with narrowing details of the dis
aster, such ghostly railroad accidents not
being every day occurrences here and are
popularity believed to belong 10 the United
States. The funerals will be in the GENE
terry of ST. Maude, and will be conducted
at the expense of the commune. The aSsis-
tant station master at Vincennes and the
driver of the second engine have been ar
rested, on the charge the driver contributed
by his carelessnesS to the events which
brought about the collision The lady an
nounced as being among the victims OF the
disaster is not Marquese de Monteferata,
but madame Blancy or Blanchet New
York city.
Up to the present, the official inquiry has
failed 10 establish clearly the real cause Of
the collision, which is attributed in turn to
revenge, malice, carelessness and lncom-
potency, according to the revelations OF the
hour. The action of the iremen in drown
ing the roasted and wounded people I'M
prisoned beneath the wreck Is most
severely condemned. Seven additional
people, victims of the collision, died last
night, making q total of fifty dead &C
counted for. but the terribly consumed
state of some of the remains found, MAKES
il probable that in some cases the heap OF
cInders collected may be those Of two peo-
pie, which have been counted as one. The
municipal authorities of st. Mande have
decided the funeral of the victims shall
take place at o'clock tomorrow after
noon.

Elliott Guilty of Murder In the Second Degree


COLUMBUS, O., July 2S.-William J. Eli
oft, the former proprietor and editor of the
Sunday Capital, who with his brother, p. j.
Elliott, killed Albert Cosborn, reporter
of the Sunday World, snd w. l.. Hughes,
a bystander, besides wounding number of
people during shooting ARRAY on High
street on the afternoon of February - last,
was convicted this morning OF murder in
the second degree The trial has been in
progress since May IL. The crime was the
direct result of personal journalism.
When the clerk began TO read the verdict
there was highly sensational scene. When
he read the indictment for murder in the
first degree, Mrs. p. j. Elliott thought that
meant guilty of murder in the first degree
She made a suppressed scream and fell
back into her chair. AS the clerk reached
the words, guilty Of murder in the sec
ond degree" Miss Montgomery arose, gave
vent 10 a cry and fell back in fainting d Z
Mrs. w. j. Elliott, very pale, made no dem
onstration. w. j. Elliott had his youngest
boy on MS lap and when the verdict was
being read covered the child's eyes and
mouth so he could not see or make an out
cry. AS the verdict of the jury was read
Elliott became so enraged he pulled the
Grand Army OF the Republic button from
the lapel of his coat and threw il spite
fullv in the direction of the jury. Elliott's
wife and children were escorted to Jail,
where q fearful scene was enacted.
The comments of the crowd were vari-
Gus, the general sense being one Of relief
that the long agony was over, only few
expressing dissatisfaction when the tenor
of the verdict became known.
Ry the laws of Ohio murder in the sec
ond degree is punishable by life imprison-
mert, the court having no alternative in
the matter. A notice of motion for a new
trial was made, and so sentence was not
passed. The court fixed next Saturday as
the time FOR hearing arguments on the
motion for q new trial.
