CAPE CHARLES, Va, June 1.-After
good nights rest at the Broadwater
Tub house, the presidential party break
tasted at 6 O'Clock, attired in their sport
ing clothes, ready to make an early start
for Hog island, where the boats were in
waiting ready to start out for another
fishing expedition; but upon arrival, the
bay was found to be too rough for COM
fort, and it was decided to spend the
forenoon along the beach shooting
snipe, curlew and other beach birds,
which were flying in small flocks. The
BIRDS were soon falling, the president
killing his share. Mr.. Cleveland did
not appear to be at all disappoint-
ed at the impromptu programme. At l
O'Clock, however, the bay was somewhat
smoother, and fishing expedition was
begun at the north end of the island.
AT Is O'Clock the party hauled in their
lines. after catching large drum, blue
fish, trout and other small fish, and
spent an hour or two sailing about the
bay. The party returned to the club
house at 7:45 p. III. An early start will
be made tomorrow morning for the
southern part of the island, where the
entire day will be spent shooting and
fishing.

Kaiser Wilhelm Denies Some
unreliable" Statements.
BERLIN, June MANY contradictory
and unreliable statements have been
made since the dissolution of the reichs-
tag as to the course the government
proposed to follow toward the new
reichstag, the members of which will
be elected this month. Among the va
rlous reports was one to the effect that
If the new reichstag refused to accept
the army bill in its entirety it would be
dissolved and another election held,
and that the same course would be fol-
lowed until a. reichstag amenable to
the military demands of the govern
ment should be elected. The govern
ment does not desire to antagonize the
electors, and today it is denied officially
that the emperor or his responsible
ministers are seeking conflict with
the new rechstag; on the contrary, the
government is willing TO negotiate for
the adoption of the army bill OIL the
basis of the amendment offered in the
last reichstag by Baron Won Huene, the
Centrlst leader, in regard to the num-
Der OF new men to be added to the
