The Unveiling of the Columbus
Monument in New York.
New YORK, June 2S.-The people In
charge of the Chicago fair want the date
of the unveiling of the Columbus monu-
ment in New York changed from Oct.
IL. 1892. to the middle of April, 1893,
when the naval review will be held in
New York harbor. The buildings of the
Chicago enterprise are to be dedicated
on Oct. IL. 1892, and the Chicago folks

subject from persons interested in the

Friday at the Eastern headquarters in
this city by Special Commissioner Alex

lead and be saluted by the fleet at the

believed that the heads of many foreign
nations will be present in person in
April, 1898, to participate in the cere-
monies, as, for ins tance, the emperor of
Brazil, Dom Pedro, was present at the
Philadelphia centennial in 1876. 1t

American states and republics and the
nations of the old world, would like to

operation and reciprocity between New
York and Chicago, the commemoration
at each place can be made international

Many Years.
WASHINGTON, June 2s. Excessive
rains have occurred in Eastern Texas
and thence northward to Missouri, IN
Western Iowa. Nebraska and portions
of Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota
and the Dakotas. More than the usual
amount of rain is also reported from
west portion of the Middle Atlantic
states. the upper Ohio valley, the New
England coast and over limited areas in
the South Atlantic states. On the Pa
cific coast the rainfall was greater than
usual in Washington, Northern Oregon,
and thence eastward over Idaho.
while no rain was reported from Cali
fornla. Tho rainfall in Western Iowa
and in Eastern and Northern Nebraska
ranged from three to five inches, and
local observers report much greater
rainfall, causing destructive floods and
injury to crops. Although there was
less rain than usual throughout the Mis-
sissippi and lower Ohio valleys, numer-
Gus showers occurred in these sections,
the precipitation being very light in the
central portion of the cotton region and
from Iowa eastward to Michigan.

1t is needless to say that all the trad

which is easily made to run. A little

WHEELING, w. Va, June 2S.-Harve

county for several years, has been az

characters, have been enabled to elude

6cers have attempted to get them. In
every case the officers have been driven
back at the muzzle of WinchesterS. Nu-
merous cold-blooded murders have been
committed in the vicinity, all attributed
to this gang, and eight of their number
are now under indictment for murder.
Mullins is said to have killed five men
himself, although mere boy, and is

nnder indictment in both states for
moonshining, and his capture is one of
the most important as we'll as one of the
most daring pieces of work on the part of
officers in recent years. Last fall a
desperate attempt was made to capture
the gang by United States deputy mar
ShalS. but they were repulsed after
sharp fight, in which the marshals had
several horses killed, and some of the
men narrowly escaped with their lives.
A short time later a man named Cox
was shot and killed by the gang while
riding along the road, he having been
mistaken for a marshal. The day after
Mullins capture two gentlemen riding
along the road near where the capture
was made were fired on from the woods
by Mullins gang, but escaped. 1t is
supposed they also were taken for dep

was made by Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector n. Il. Keadle,
who took possee of men with the de-
Termination of breaking up the gang.
He took warning from the fate of other
officers, however. and, instead of an
open attack, made still hunt and hid

Mullins with arevolver and Cooper with

when told to surrender, but was
knocked down with a club rifle ard
handcuffed. Cooper surrendered when
he found he was covered by rifles. They
will be taken to Parkersburg before the

which an attempt will be made to cap

man, escorted Miss Hattie White

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-Ope of the
most interesting and important discov-
cries made by the mayors experts, who
are overhauling the city books and
Bardsley's papers to test the truth of
the eX-city treasurer's defense made in
court. bears on the purchase of
the house in Germantown. The
house was purchased with public
money In his pathetic statement read
before Judge Willis about his frugal
life of self denial he said that the pur-
chase money, $4,000, represented his
wife's savings of her ten-cent pieces
and his savings from all outside sources.
Mr. Graham will be able to show when
Bardsley is brought up for sentence
that instead of being bought with Mrs.
Bardsley's ten-cent pieces. the house
was paid for with check drawn against
pubic money. The experts will be
ready for MIR. Graham in day or two.

1t is expected that II. M. S. Pheasant

Alert, is seriously i'll, and was removed
from the ship to st. Joseph's hospital

during the northern trip by Lieut..

orders from Washington so to do. Dur

Otto, two Victoria schooners, have been
quietly fitting out for sealing. Both
vessels last night sailed for Behring sea.

WILLIAMS COMING TRIP.
The Emperor of Germany to Be
Royalty Received.

LONDON. June 2S.-All signs point to
an enthusiastic reception of the German
emperor. If there are any anarchists or
socialists who mediate trouble, they
may learn that while British law deals
leniently with insults to royalty, a
British mob does not, and the German
emperor is just now quite tavorite in
Great Britain. In his heart the English
man dislikes France, while he recognizes
the German kinshlp, and this feeling
was strongly displayed during the
Franco-Prussian war. Queen Victory
will take no part In the public recep-
tiOn to the emperor, partly because she
wished the emperor and not herself TO
be the central figure of the display, and
partly because she wished to make the
Prince of Wales prominent as the rep
resentatiye Of the English royalty. The
queen will probably receive the en-
peror at Windsor next Saturday. He is
her favorite grandchlld, chiefly on ac-
count of his mother, to whom the queen
is deeply attached, and partly also be-
cause Victoria is said to have a grand
mothers faith in the kaiser's future as
an arbiter in the affairs of Europe, and
confidence that he will yet win military
fame for the rather unmilitary house

Director Werner, of the Berlin art

Much Indignation exists In govern
ment circles in Berlin at the renewed
bitterness of Bismarck's organs toward
the kaiser and his policy, and especially
the covert assaults upon the triple alli-
ance. Tine belief that the articles are
inspired by Bismarck widens the breach
between the ex-chancellor and the en-
perOr, and there is yet possibility that
Bismarck may find himself called to ac-
count, not in the way of judicial prose-
cution, but as an officer of the imperial
army, endeavoring to undermine the
faith of the people in the sovereign.
Those who are near the kaiser say that
his animosity toward Bismarck has
grown rapidly of late, and may take
form unpleasant to the prince.
