was interviewed last night regarding the strik-
ing Of his name from the roll Of militia officers
Of Canada on account Of his annexation views.
He had not been officially notified of his dis
missal, but accepted the information to that
effect as true. He considered the action Of the
military authorities great blunder for moth

Mr.. Mcdonald continued: Last winter
charged the government with having stolen or
misapplied over S9, 000, 900 through the militia
department. and they concluded would be a
safer man to have on the outside, but they have
only precipitated matters, for four other militia
officers, including the major and colonel, will
publicly declare for union with the United
States In few days, and the minister of militia
will be kept pretty busy II he intends decap-

GLASGOW, Oct. lat was reported here
today that the police had arrested man named
McNeilly who, was seen Monday night in COM
pany with McEwen, the man who. it is alleged,
killed the woman whose body was found in the
garden of Il mansion near this city. Investiga-
ton proved the report to be unfounded and
that McNeilly was still at liberty.
McNeily was o sailor on the Anchor line
steamer Furnessia. In an interview today he
said that he and McEwen met the woman,
whose terrible murder has created such great
excitement here, on the street on Monday night
McEwen persuaded the woman to accompany
him to West Lodge, the scene Of the murder.
They all three went to the lodge, the occupants
of which were absent. McNeilly says that he
slept in another room and saw nothing OF the
woman and McEwen after they retired Early
in the morning McNeilly arose and left the
house for the purpose of looking for work. He
denies having seen the murder committed or
having taken any part in 1t.
After several measures had been adopted,
without result, to establish the identity Of the
woman the police Of the city were ordered to
look at the remains and see il they had ever
seen the victim before. This plan proved sue
cessfnl, several of them recognized her as q
person Of loose character. and this accounts
for her accompanying McEwen.
The dctec ives have learned that McEwen had
been seen going in the direction of Paisley and
they followed close on his heels. This after
noon they found him lying beside the road half
way between Glasgow and Paisley. He evil

preparations were made, commenced at day.
break this morning. The city was astir before
daylight, and here and there people were en-
gagged In completing the decorations of their
houses. When light broke upon the CITY the
scene was a most beautiful one. The balconies
OF the houses were gaily decorated with
flags, banners and bunting, among which
the gold and red Of Spain predominated. A
large number Of the houses displayed large and
small American flags, and many visitors from
the surrounding country to whom the American
ensign was strange sight expressed high ap-

United States. The triumphal arches on Gale
Mayor, in the Puerta Del Sol and Gale De
Alcala, which together form the principal
boulevard OF the city, and the decorations in
the Plaza de Armas and the Plaza de la Arme-
ria were beautiful
The people were aroused at daybreak by the
strains OF music produced by seventeen military
and other bands that paraded through the
principal streets Of the city playing the reveile
At the same time the bells Of all the churches in
the city began to peal, and thus the day was
ushered In. The streets began to fill and in a
short time were crowded. Early masses were

Later in the day a monster procession was
formed OF the professors and students of the
Spanish universities. The professionals were
heartily cheered as they marched along with
almost military precision. The professors and
students were all attired in gay costumes of the
medieval period, and in the ranks were borne
ancient standards, some of which were carried
In the wars before Columbus was born. This
procession was formed in the vicinity of the
Plaza de la Independence, and headed by rep.
resentatives Of the University Of Salamanca,
marched through all the principal streets of the
city. Included in the procession were deputa-
lions OF American. German, French, Belgian
and Portuguese university students.
Tho magnificent monument to Columbus was
unveiled at La Rabida today. The ceremonies
were attended by the queen regent, King
Alfonzo. the ministers Of state, senators, mem

and military officers and vast con-
course Of civilians. The river and bay
were crowded with all description of crafts and

sented was most animated one, and the cele-
bration was as successful as its most sanguine
projectors could have wished.
The queen regent and the little king we're ac-
corded a most enthusiastic welcome, and to
their presence was due most of the success of the
celebration. Much admiration was expressed
over the monument, which is a striking artistic
conception.

oppression as II he could not breathe. He
jumped up, and on lighting a match saw that
the entire room was filed with smoke.

The children rolled q water barrel to the eel
lar window and emptied il on the burning waste.

from the inside, and that some one broke the
glass and threw a burning torch into the bar
rel, thereby setting IL on fire.

to Darlington to investigate Mr.. Fox Was

hamlet, distant seven miles from the city, and
in region difficult of access, Yesterday
Josie Simmons, girl Of eighteen,
was murdered by thieves Her mother
had come to the city early in the day
and returning about pm found her daughter
lying on the floor of the front room of the
house with her thu oat cut from ear to ear, The
house had been literally torn inside out by
criminals, who to conceal their thefts or a worse
crime had murdered the only member of the
family at home.
News of the crime some time in reaching
the city. Six detectives were at once detailed
on the case and left for the scene at late
hour.
The girl was cold when found, having been
dead at least four hours. The room in which
the body lay gave evidence of terrible
struggle for life and honor.
There is but one clue and that is the fact that
two men were seen to throw clock and watch
into gulch at the scene of the crime about the
time the deed was committed. Whether these
were the criminals or the clock or watch were
stolen is not known.
