Mut'nous Cold Stream Guards.

LONDON, July 22.-The Truth today prints
the story Of another mutlny in the British
army which has been kept secret up to the
present time. The mutinous soldiers are
those of the second battalion OF Cold Stream
Guards, one Of the crack regiments Of the
country. The men were greatly dissatisfied
at the extra duties which they are compelled
to perform during the recent visit Of the Em-
peror Of Germany to London. This, t0geth-
or with the refusal Of the officers to grant
men leaves Of absence, led to open lnsubOrdi-
nation. During drill at st. James Park
the men were marched back to the Yelling
ton barracks. Orders were issued for com
pany Of men to 20 to the barracks for three
days punishment aud 10 senior privates were
placed under arms with view OF trying
them by court martial. The main body OF
guardsmen thereup0n barricaded themselves
In one Of the rooms and declined 70 emerge
until an order affording relief 70 the seniors
be given. After much parley the mutinous
men finally yielded.

MISS HAM MS YARNS.
She writes as the Blaines' Friends
and They Don't Know Her.

BANGOR, July 22.-The following will ap-
pear in the Bangor Whig and Courier to-
morrow:
A member of Mr.. Blaine's family says
that "of all the correspondents in Bar Har-
bor writing in regard to Mr.. Blaine's health,
the most untruthful and apparently the
most malicious was a Miss Hamm. She
headed the syndicate that was organized to
falsliy Mr. Blaine's condition and held that
pose on the public. Now that she can no
longer misrepresent Mr.. Blaine's condition,
she affects an intimacy with his household
and sends her messages half humorous, half
serious"
Lest any one should be deceived by it. we
are authorized TO say that not a single mem
ber OF Mr.. Blaine's family knows Miss
Hamm by sight.

s. v. White of New York and Secretary Fos-
ter Visit the Cottage.
The President passed the entire day yester-
day at Cape May Point without transacting
any official business beyond looking over
various documents early in the morning.
Deacon s. V. White, in company with silas b.
butcher Of New York, called at the cottage and
remained with the President more than an
hour. After their departure Secretary Of the
Treasury Foster arrived and remained the en-
tire day and until late in the evening" As the
Treasury and Interior departments are the
only ones at all busy now, the Secretary felt
the necessity of consulting the President in
reference to matters now under way, and came
exclusively for that purpose.
Mr.. White evidently did not finish entirely
the business that brought him to Cape Nav, as
previous to his departure in the afternoon he
expressed the probability Of his return on Sat
urday next. At noon the President, with Mrs.
Dimmick and the two Mckee grandchildren,
bathed, with Mrs. Harrison as spectator, some
distance off. Brig. Gen. L. H. L. Williamson,
stationed at FL Paso. Tex, came down last
night and will call on the President, keeping an
engagement made several days ago
Simon Hasslers orchestra serenaded Secre-
tary Foster At Congress Hall last night. A
messenger was dispatched to Congress Hall
from the Presidents cottage for the Secretary
baggage, which was at once transferred there,
the Secretary becoming President Harrison Q

NEW WORKS. NAVAL RESERVE.
An Interesting Drill Watched 10y Thousands
of Persons.


The second days exercises OF the New York
naval militia were very interesting and great
Improvement on their previous effort The
afternoon drill was similar to that of the fret
day, varying only in the equipment and few
movements, such as countermarching in col
umns. The interest in the fleet is increasing
and the afternoon and evening spectacle was
witnessed by thousands Of persons. by far the
most interesting exhibition was the instruction
in search light and signals given last even
ing. At o'clock the signal Was given and four
teen powerful search lights got focus on the
fieecy clouds above. At the end Of the rays
from each light, which were cut of short by
the interposition of the clouds, sharply defined
spots were noticed. by means Of these spots .

PEPPER AT THE DANCE.
1t Was Spread on the Ball Room Floor and
Broke Up the Company.

II was Spread on the Ball Room Floor and
Broke Up the Company.
The young society people of Plainfield. N. j.,
attempted to hold an informal ball in the casino
of the Union County Country Club Tuesday
night, but their pleasure was materially ham
pered by the work of practical joker. The
particulars have just leaked outO The Joker
sprinkled all over the smoothly polished floor
OF the ball room a pound Of cayenne pepper.
How he gained an entrance to the room before
the ball no one yet knows When the dancing
began the condiment was whisked about by
the trains Of the ladies' dresses and the dancers
feet until the air was filed with the fiery dust
Every one in the room, and there were more
than hundred dancers, began to sneeze vio-
lently and their eyes began to water copiously.
There was such paroxysm Of sneezing that the
dancers were compelled to abandon the ball
room. FOotmen Of the club attempted to
remedy the evil by sweeping the floor with
dampened sawdust, but the dancers, with red
dened noses and eyes, suffered too much from
their unfortunate experience to resume.
Every one was cautioned to keep quiet over
the matter. The perpetrator of the social out
rage has been warned by the club never to
enter the building again. His identity was de-
tected by some skillful detective work ON the
part OF q clubman. The officers Of the club re-
fuse to divulge his name.
