He Spends the Day Resting at the Palace
Hotel in San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, April 25.-The Presi-
dent spent a quiet Sunday in San Fran
cisco. In company with Mayor Sander
son and ex-Congressman Morrow he at
tended divine service at the First Presby-
terra Church. 1t was not generally known
that he would attend this church, and
consequently only the usual congregation
was present Mrs Harrison, Mrs. KcKee
and Mrs. Dimmick went to another
church.
Yesterday afternoon Postmaster-G Gen
eral Wanamaker addressed great con-
course of Sunday School children at the
Calvary Presbyterian Church. and later
he talked to nearly 1000 men at a meet
ing held under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association at the Re-
publican Wigwam.

dies of the party were entertained by
Mrs. Stanford.
The President had q conference with
Brigadier- General Kruger during the day
in regard to the lynching of murderer
Hunt at Walla Walla, Wash, last Friday
night by party of soldiers. Subsequent
ly the President sent the following tele-
gram to the Secretary of War at Wash
ingtoh:
1.-The affair at Walla Walla is very dis
creditable to army discipline. If there is
reason to believe, as there appears to be,
that the mob was composed of soldiers,
you will order a court of inquiry and see
that the responsibility for the disgrace is
fixed and that the guilty are brought to
a prompt trial"

MEETING OF MINERS.
The Leaders Are Celebrating Over the
EiGht-Hour-Day Demand.


EiGht-Hour-Day Demand.
PrrTsBURG, April ga dispatch from
Columbus, O., says the Executive Board
of the United Mine Workers is in session
considering the demand made by the
miners for the eight-hour day on May 1.
By arrangement the presidents of the
local assemblies in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania appeared before
the board and made reports as to the at
titude and feeling of the miners they rep
resent as to the matter. With the ex-
ception of the Straitsville district of
Ohio, where the miners have signed con-
tracts to work for the year on the nine
hour system, the reports indicate firm
ness on the part of the miners for the
eight-hour day, even to a general strike
to enforce it.
If further reports continue as unani-
mously in favor of the eight-hour day
and a strike to secure it, President Ray
will issue an order to this effect.
The strike, if it occurs, will be stupen-
dous, stopping all coal mining in the
eastern part of the United States. If it
should continue a week it is estimated
that our whole industrial system would
be paralyzed.
Amos Townsend, of Cleveland, made q
proposition to the board looking to an
agreement, and it was taken under ad-
Visement

Won MOLTkE'S FUNERAL.
To be Buried Next Thursday-E mperC
William's Order to the Army.

To be Buried Next Thursday-E mperor
Williams Order to the Army.
BERLIN, April 27.-The remains of Count
Won Moltke will lie in state until Thurs
day in the apartments in which the Count
died. A guard of honor has charge of
the remains.
The late Field Marshal in his will de-
sires that his body shall be buried at
Creisau by the side of his wife, who died
on Christmas evening, 1873. The will
also directs that the funeral shall be
strictly private and of the most unosten-
tatious character.
1t is thought possible, however, that
the Emperor will over-rule the latter pro-
vision and crafty the universal desire of
the German people that a State funeral
shall testify to their feeling of pride, love
and gratitude for the dead Field Marshal.
The principal generals have already been
granted permission to absent themselves
from their commands during the funeral
services, and all the members of ruling
houses in Germany, holding rank in the
army, are expected to be present.
Emperor William, in his order instruct
ing the army to go into mourning, says:
"A friend and councillor has been re-
moved from my side. l most deeply
mourn this irreparable loss to myself, to
the army, and to the fatherland. To his
last hour the deceased enjoyed unpre-
cedented renown by means of his mill
tary achievements and his services for
the welfare of the fatherland, whose
gratitude will never die"
Count Won Moltke had intended to leave
this city in few days for the baths at
Kudowa where he hoped to recuperate
and improve his health. He is known to
have been engaged on plans for the
strengthening of the newly acquired

unexpectedly.
Moltke was not man of large wealth
and is said to have expended considerable
money in charities.

Troubles of an American Lady in London
She Attempts Suicide.
LONDON, April 27.-Mrs. F. B. Con-
verse, nee Miss Martha Hyams, the beau
tiful daughter of tobacco merchant
doing business at No. 1862 Pearl street.
New York, attempted to commit suicide
here. 1t is reported that she was'prompt-
ed to the commission of the act by tho
heartless treatment of +. B. Converse
whom she married last September.
Converse, it is said, obtained a large sum
of money by pawning all his wife's
clothing and other personal effects, in
GLIDING some valuable jewelry, which
were presented to her at the time of her
marriage. He then absconded, leaving
her destitute and friendless in this CITY,
The embarrassment of the young wife's
condition is heightened by the fact that
she will become a mother.
Converse Claimed to be q mining en-
gineer, and said that at one time he had
lived in Milwaukee. He made the ac-
quaintance of Miss Hyams five years ago
while crossing the ocean from New York
to London on the steamer Alaska. Seven
months ago they were married by the
Registrar at Brighton. After pawning
the last pair of boots belonging to his
wife, he disappeared for parts unknown.
1t is reported that Converse has wife
in Toronto and two children in Montreal,
whom he deserted, and who are said to be
in a destitute condition.

THE POISON MYSTERY.
Something About DIR. Graves, Mrs. Barna-
by's Physician.


PROVIDENCE, R. L, April Eft is i'm
possible to obtain any Information here
of the slightest authenticity concerning
the death of Mrs. ]. B. Barnaby, of this
city, which occurred in Denver a week
ago to-day.
Col. Henry B. Winship, being the presi-
dent of the J. B. Barnaby Company, was
naturally looked to for a satisfactory
clue to the mystery, but he says he
knows nothing about the unfortunate
affair.
He is anxious to get a look at the hand
writing ON the paper in which the bottle
of poisoned whiskey was wrapped.
DIR. Thatcher Graves, the person whose
name is mentioned in connection with
the affair, formerly had an office on
Broadway not far from the Barnaby resi-
dence. About two years ago he moved
to No. $50 Benefit street, on the opposit g
side of the river, and came under police
notice by his alleged distribution of in
decent professional cards in the streets
and near the public schools.
DIR. Graves was Mrs. Barnaby's physi-
clan. Beyond that no one can say. He
appears to have been on very good terms
with her. Hence the report that he is to
come in for $4,000 share of the money
she obtained by contesting her husbands
will and forcing q compromise.
DR.. Graves is now en- route to Provi-
dence with Mrs. Barnaby's body.
Mrs. Barnaby has no relatives in this
city. Maude, her youngest daughter, has
been in Paris for year, and Mrs. Con-
rad, the eldest daughter, lives in Mon
tana

ASEAMAN ARRESTED
Inspector Byrnes Captures
Another Suspect.
HE LOOKS LIKE THE RIPPER.
Hurried to Prison by the Police and
Locked Up.

Park Policemen Arrest n Mysterious Sns-
pect-The Territory Where the Crime
Occurred Swarming With Detectives
The Hardened Characters in the Neigh
borhOod Not Frightened.
New York, April 81. Another arrest
has been made that tallies with the de.
seriptionI of the supposed Jack the Ripper
Two park policemen found him in City
Hall Park.
He wore a sand colored coat and blue
trousers, and, if anything, was scarcely
shabby enough for the companion of the
degraded victim at the slum lodging
house that fatal night. The Ripper is
said to have worn a shabby blue coat.
The man, whose name is said to be Henry
Young, was examined at the Oak street
station, confronted with "Frenchy's''
cousin, and later taken to Police Head
quarters. The newspaper men were
meanwhile driven out of the station
house, so great was the desire to keep
quiet the actual bent of the police work
and the facts learned thereby.
The name of the cousin of Frenchy is
not Young. The territory of the pre-
cinct where the butchery occurred is
simply swarming with detectives. The
odor of their good cigars can be expert
enced at most of the street corners. Their
actual work, whatever it is, is enveloped
in clouds. They were to be seen at inter-
walls entering the Oak street station look
ing wise and mysterious.
The district where the crime was com
mitted shows no change since the muir
der. The hardened characters show no
disposition to give up their haunts or
mode of life.
Inspector Byrnes Makes an Arrest.
Last evening Police Inspector Byrnes
arrested the second engineer of the Red
sd" line steamer Philadelphia, lying at
her pier on the East river, and turning
him over to his men had him taken to
Police Headquarters.
The name of the man could not be
learned, but he answers almost perfectly
to the description of the murderer as
given by Mary Miniter, the housekeeper
of the East River Hotel. The Inspector
himself made the arrest.
