Secretary Herbert's Bad Cold Caused the
Review to BE Put on.
New YORK, April 27.-It is now said that the
postponement OF the naval review until this

physician had advised him to avoid the rain il

FIVE steamers. the Gen. Meigs. the Blake. the

During the early morning two black lines of
cabs and covered carriages flowed up and down,
one to the piers. the otner back up town and cut
ting at the river front through dense
equally black line OF umbrellas. The steam
were announced to sail at $50
OF clock in order to get everybody down in good
season. At 8 the carriages began to roll down.
and from thai hour TILL 1890 they moved UP
and down like industrious ants.
The arrivals who were of the congressional
party were assigned to the Monmouth. The city
officials went aboard the Egerton. The Blake
was reserved for the diplomatic corps and the
Gen. Meigs for the Duke Of Veragua and his
family and staff. the Slocum taking the gov

GREAT HARRINGTON, Mass, April 27.-The
information that the escaped Sing Sing muir

remote and desoate region of Mount Waiting
ton came to Deputy Sheriff Raifslanger from
two reputable farmers, Henry Hughes and
William c. Weaver, who were driving through
Mount Washington day or two ago.
They told the deputy they had seen two men
whose appearance tailed closely with the
description Of the escaped murderers skulking
about the mountains. Their actions were
very suspicious and attracted the atten-
ton of the farmers. who later reported
the matter to the deputy sheriff. Mount Wash
ington could nave easily been reached by the
runaways by way of the New York Central road
or the Hudson river, and in about the time in
dlcated. supposing they started north, as they
would naturally DO. to reach Canada.
Going up the Hudson river valley they would
find Mount Washington with it's retreats about
the first inviting place OF refuge. III they are
really there the convicts would find many ex-
cellent hiding places among the crags of Mount
Everett and might avoid capture for con-
siderable period provided they could secure
food.

Arrest of a Man Who Is Said to Have Sought
GIadstone's Life.
LONDON. April 27.-The Pail Mall Gazette
today contains most sensational article
headed "Rumors Of an Attempt to Shoot Glad
stone" the type used in the heading being the
largest in use for that purpose. The paper
states that the alleged attempt upon the
prime ministers life made while Mr.. Glad
stone walking through st. James Park at
midnight last night on his way to his home in
Downing street.
The accuracy of the report of the Pail Mall
Gazette was doubtful.
The article caused much excitement among
the friends and supporters of Mr.. Gladstone,
and MANY inquiries from various parts of the
country have been made as TO truth Of the re-
port
THE MAN UNDER ARREST.
Notwithstanding the reports that have been
made TO the effect that Mr.. Gladstone was in
no danger of being shot and that no import
ance is to be attached to the affair there is a
growing susf icion that Mr.. Gladstone was
nearer beng fired at than his friends are will
ing To admit.
The man under arrest is named VIM. Tou-
send. He is 80 years old and is a resident of
Sheffield. The officer who arrested him saw
HIM mount the steps of Mr.. Gladstone's resi-
dence.
When the policeman ordered him to descend
he fired at the officer and struggled desperately
against being arrested. 1ousend asserts that
the discharge of the revolver was accidental.
Ii has been learned that Mr.. Gladstone. who
attended dinner party last night. walk
ing TO his home about the time the man who
fired the revolver was arrested. He saw moth
ing of the occurrence and no one knew that any
attempt was made to shoot him.
When the shooter was arraigned in the Bow
street police court this morning the policeman
who arrested him stated that the man had dis
charged the revolver Ill the Horse Guards
Iarade, near Downing street. He evidently in
tended TO shoot the officer.
An examination of the note book revealed
the fact that it contained a mass OF rawlings
against Irish home rule, amid which a sug-
gestion that the murder of Mr.. Gladstone
would be justifable.
Some of the entries in the note book read:
The Irish home rule bill has passed its second
reading by full majority, including the cur
saunders. Talking does not convert. Now is
the time for action. 1 might willfuily murder
You. Would nothing of the kind be justified?

the excitement of the time. The closing of the

THE GOLD SITUATION,

It 10 Apparently Becoming Easier and the
FURRY Has Subsided.
The gold situation apparently grows easier
each day and the furry OF the past week has
entirely subsidized. The New York bankers
called for definite statement from the admin
istration on the ground that il would settle
the atmosphere. and the statement of Presi-
dent Cleveland seems to have had that effect
Interest in the financial world has row been
diverted to New York by the presence there of
the President and Secretary Carlisle and on
account Of the very important part that the
fnanciers Of that city are now playing.
no CONFERENCE ARRANGED.
Conflicting statements reach this city from
New York as to whether Mr.. Carlisle will have
q conference. 1t was officially stated to a STAR
reporter at the Treasury Department that the
Secretary had not arranged for a conference
and the latter Is quoted this morning as saving
in reply to the question, will YOU meet the
bankers for conference before you re,urn?"
II expect to meet many persons while here, 1"
Mr.. Carlisle replied. and suppose. naturally,
that bankers will be among them. There is no
definite arrangement"
HAS not q conference been proposed for to-
morrow after the review
There is . chance Of some talk then about
the situation" said the Secretary, but the
probabilities have not yet advanced beyond the
stage of chance"
THE BANKERS POSITION CRITICIZED.
The position which the New York bankers
have occupied is being severely criticized not
only by treasury officials, but in financial cir
cles throughout the country. The evident de-
sire OF the south and west to assist the treas
ury with what means are within
their power is contrasted with the
position Of New York. which can Immediately
relieve the government, but refuses to do SO un-
less on its own terms, advantageous to its own
pocket books. The outcome Of the visit of Mr..
Carlisle to New York is awaited with consider
able interest.
thing was unusually quiet. The gold question
has lost the concern which it has occasioned.
Small offers Of gold continue to be made and
are accepted. Acting Secretary Hamlin said
today that the situation was very satisfactory.

Mr. Maxwell's MIL Grinds Away, but He.

Mr. Maxwelrs Mil Grinds Away, but Ho
Has Some Relief From the Crowd.
There is one man in Washington who hss .
realizing sense today that the naval review 10
in Progress in New York, and that man
is the first assistant postmaster general,
Mr.. Maxwell This lie the way he accounts
for the fact that for today for the
first time practically since he assumed the
Office, over a month ago, his room, the ante
room aud in fact all the approaches TO his
Office has not been thronged with people snx-
ious 10 see him. While he mas not been sctu-
ally lonely today. yet he has had very few
callers. IL seems that those who want changes
to be made in the fourth-cisss post Offices
reached the conclusion that nothing would be
done until after the review, and SO have turned
their attention TO other matters. However, the
machinery which daily grinds out changes in the
Offices at the rate Of about one hundred day
goes ON in spite Of the festivities at New York.
Nothing but Mr.. Ma1well's absence would
stop the daily list OF appointments. Some peo-
pie are of the opinion that Mr.. Maxwell
is going rather slow. but he is not Of
that opinion. Az be said TO a STAB reporter
today, he is going ahead just as fast As be can.
He is trying TO fill the vacancies in the service
first OF all, and rs there are about 500 Of
these, and as IL is necessary IN the
great majority Of cases TO hunt up some
man VINO VIII De cofnpetentto NIL the place, tneu
process Is naturally q slow one. number OF
these Offices have no finsncial attractions. but
the existence of the Offices is OF vital
importance to the public, and SO the depart
ment is obliged by correspondence to induce
some citizen TO be public spirited enough to
accept public duty. When the vacancies are
filled then those who after the desirable
offices will be glad to know that Mr.. Max.
well will give his attention to places occnpteo
by republicans with the view of putting
good democrats in their places. The Offices
where the incumbents have served four years
will be attended TO first. and, in fact. some
changes of this character are being made every
day. The principle upon which changes are
made in these Offices is somewhat different
from what formerly prevailed, and the change
is not altogether rel4shed by those who are in
terested in appointments
