INsuLTED THE SOUTH.
So Say ths BrIgadIers of Grover
CieveIand's Recent Utterances,

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The discomfort
among the Democratic leaders in the South
to the denomination CT Grover Cleveland
appears to be increasing. Recently Senator
COlQuit Of Georgia, spoke his mind very
freely on this subject. Now. Senator Pugh,
who has recently returned from his home,
expresses the following very vigorous Ian
guage as to Mr.. Cleveland's prospects:
'Mr. Cleveland has gone out of his way re-
Gently to apply offensive epithets to the
South. In his address to his German friends
at Buffalo the other day he went out of his
way to insult the South. When the govern
ment was assailed by rebellious hand were
the words he used in alluding to
the late war. Nobody nowadays
wants to make an issue about the
vocabulary that should be applied to that
momentous event, but to say the least 1t was
very bad taste in Mr.. Cleveland to go out of
his way to use that language. Those rebel
lious hands have helped to make him Presi-
dent, and If he is ever to be President again
they will be necessary to his election. Those
'rebellous hands will be at the ballot boxes
in the next Presidential election, and, what
Is more, they will be present at the next
Democratic national convention, and their
oowynnfers oSynfr Will have something to say as to
WheeuCA 1hk' NioEolanu OE 5Otno otnor mum
shall be the candidate. The South expects
Its political friends to speak of it with con-
sideration and respect Mr.. Cleveland has
gone out OF his way to insult it,"

THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN MAINE
He Passed Through Portland on the
Pullman Last Night.
President Jones's Car, the Sorrento,
Placed at His Disposal.
How Yesterday Was Spent In Boston
-one of the Rumors.

On the East bound Pullman last night was
the private car Sorrento In which were
Secretary Blaine and his party, including
Senator Hale. 1t was stated here that the
party would proceed to Ellsworth where Mr..
Blaine would be the guest of Senator Hale
until ready TO continue his journey to Bar
Harbor.
BOSTON, June 2.-Secretary and Mrs.
Blaine and Senator Eugene Hale left Boston
at o'clock tonight en- route to Bar Harbor.
Mr.. Hale arrived today from Washington.
When Mr.. Blaine decided today to continue
his journey, General Manager Furber of the
Boston & Maine rendered him the use of
President Jones's car, Sorrento. which was
attached to the p. m. train.
The persistency with which all sorts of
rumors regarding Mr., Blaine's condition
have been circulated was illustrated by one
which was frequently heard this morning to
the effect that the Secretary had been over
come by his trip from New York to Boston
yesterday and that he had been forced to
take to his bed in his elegant apartments at
Young's Hotel. The story travelled rapidly,
and by noon it was current talk on the street
anu III LIE nOtel cOrrlu0rS tnat tne secretary
was indeed very sick man.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Blaine arose about
s this morning, had his breakfast served in
his room, then glanced through the morning
papers and at about II Joined a Boston
friend at the Court street entrance of the
hotel. Here they entered an open landau
and drove up fremont street, through
Beacon to Bay State road, then back to the
hotel by way of Commonwealth avenue,
B0ylston and fremont streets.
They were gone about an hour and half.
Mr.. Blaine was well bundled up, apparently
for protection, and he looked much refresh
ed as he entered the hotel on the return from
the drive.
zaThis afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine re-
ceived a pleasant call from Mrs. Eugene
Hale, wife Of the Maine Senator, and Mrs.
Blaine received a friendly tribute in the form
Of an elegant souvenir Of flowers from Mrs.
L. Jefferson Coolidge.
EA Washington despatch to the Journal
says: "Such friends of Mr.. Blaine as Stephen
b. Elkins and others who are near to him
believe that the great trouble with Mr..
Blaine is his own disposition to take too
seriously the ordinary ailments of life, and
that the intense activity of his mind Is such
that he cannot quite throw over for the time
being the responsibilities of his public office.
Mr.. Elkins believes that his summer vaca-
tton will bring him about all right again, and
that he will return to the State Department
in the fall thoroughly invigorated.

Lightning Does Damage to the
Homes OF Massachusetts People.

CHICAGO. June 2.-Over half the United
States was simultaneously soused in water
tonight. The condition of the telegraph
wires, north, south, east and west from this
city showed state Of affairs seldom, If ever
equalled. Soaking rains are in progress ac-
companied with driving wind from New
York to New Orleans and stretching beyond
st. Paul and Minneapolis westerly for an
indefinite distance. Milwaukee reports
severe electrical disturbance. Further
northwest, in the Dakotas, many towns are
cut off. The fact that cyclone has ravaged
the country about Watertown has raised the
question If there has not been serious loss
of life and property in the Isolated region.
WATERTowN, S. d., June "A cyclone
this afternoon demolished a number of barns
along its course. At Hazel, sixteen miles
from here, three people were killed. The
storm is said to have been very severe in
that vicinity.

THE YALE BoYS' CIRCUS.
They Bombarded the Animals and
Had a jolly Time Generally.

NEW HAVEN, CT, June 2-The faculty of
Yale University are investigating yesterday S
dolngs of the students during the parade Of
Barnum's circus, and some the collegians
may find themselves in trouble as the result
of their antics. The leading chariot in the
parade yesterday, arrived at the campus in
front of Osborn Hall, just as the boys were
being dismissed from the morning recita-
tions, and was received by about 800 students
who lined the street In front Of the campus
and the New Haven House. Several hun
dred students had pockets full OF large tor
pedoes, and no sooner had the head Of the
procession turned the corner from Cole ge
Into Chapel street than torpedoes were
thrown in showers. The horses began to
jump, rear and plunge at the cracking of
crockers and blowing OF horns. They were
admirably handled, however, and 1t was not
until the chariot bearing the jubilee singers
came along that any serious consequences
seemed apparent. This chariot was drawn
by six gray horses, and the first torpedo that
struck the flank Of the leaders set them to
plunging madly, and as the tOrpedoes came
thicker and faster the whole six were al
most instantly engaged In a desperate at
tempt to bolt on to the sidewalk. The sing
ers, realizing the danger, jumped from the
vehicle and sprang to the heads Of the hors-
es. The horses were soon quieted, but 1t
looked for time like an exceedingly serious
affair, and the crowd that lined the street
broke away to escape the danger. In doing
this several persons were rudely handled IN
in the jam that resulted.
When the cages containing the lions, tlg-
ers, leopards, hyenas, and jaguars came
along they, too, were assailed, and began to
roar SO loudly that the crowds, which lined
the sidewalk, rushed toward the corner. The
procession halted, and with the cages stand
ing directly In front of them the students
had a clear field. The more the infurated
animals rushed about their cages the faster
the tantaliziDg torpedoes were hurled upon
them. The keepers, standing on their stools
with the butt ends of their whips firmly
grasped. beat the animals on their heads

seemed brutal, but was apparently the only
means at hand to prevent the maddened ant
mails from attacking them.

LOOKS LIKE FRAUD.
Voting With Tissue Ballots In a
Rhode Island Town.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 2.-In the cleo
tion at Lincoln yesterday the Republicans
charge the Democrats with cheating with
tissue ballots. The Republicans were ahead
on the count but before the enumeration of
the ballots was completed pile was dscov.
cred which had not been counted. The pile
contained 100 straight Democratic ballots
printed on tissue paper. They were rolled
together in piles containing about 10 each
and looked as If deposited together. The
town clerk and town solicitor insisted upon
having the 1OS ballots counted. The moder-
ator complied with the request, which ma
terially changed the election. The modera-
tor sealed the ballots and requested the
town clerk to take them. The town clerk
refused to do this, saying the Republicans
charged the Democrats with cheating last
year while the ballots were in his custody
The moderator took the ballots home with
him. This evening each party appeared be-
fore the council when a long wrangle ensued
over the recount. The town council counted
all the ballots, thereby counting in the entire
Democratic ticket. The Republicans will
carry the matter to the courts.
