WASHINGTON, July 1o.-The dis
patches from Berlin stating that the
German government would wait for the
United States TO take the initiative in
raising the rank Of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the respective countries
from minister to ambassador seem to be
based upon an erroneous reading Of the
law passed by the last congress on this
subject. which provides that whenever
the president shall be advised that any
foreign government is represented. or is
about TO be represented in the United
States by an ambassador. envoy ex-
traordinary. minister plenlpotentiary.
minister sresident. special envoy or
charge d'Arairs. he is authorized in his
discretion TO direct that the repre-
sentative Of the United States TO such
government shall bear the same de-
scription
The construction placed 10y the Unftea
States on this provision has uniformly
been that the initiative must be taken by
the foreign government and not by the
United states. This was done by Great
Britain and by France and met prompt
response from the United States. In
the case OF Italy, whose representative
has been created an ambassador. there
has been a delay i'm response by the
United States but which has been acci-
Dental rather than otherwise. The
president being now absent IL is inn
probable that any further steps will be
taken toward the creation Of l.. 5. am
bassadors before congress meets.

making extensive preparations for the
expected change i'm the matter Of pur-
chasing site and preparing to erect an

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
Alleged Murderer of Two Prison
Guards Caught at Last.

ELMIRA, N. Y, July 1O.-After
search Of thirty years, Chief Little be-
lieves that he has located the murderer
of two guards in the Union prison camp
located here during the war. 1t 1863.
young man who had enlisted in New
York was stationed in the camp He
gave his name as Stewart. For drunken
ness he was confined in the guard house.
One night he invited his guards to drink
LIQUOR, which he had obtained. The
LIQUOR contained poison and both guards
soon feel into a stupOr, from which they
never recovered. Young Stewart then
endeavored to escape, but was detected.
He was given a trial by court martial,
found guilty of murder and sentenced TO
die by hanging. He was transferred TO
the county Jail and held there to await
the date of his execution. In the mean
time great effort was brought to bear to
secure the young mans pardon. His
mother went to see President Lincoln.
She gave her name as Shear. The young
man on the night before the day for his
hanging escaped from the jail and was
never captured. In July, 1891, Leroy
Charming Shear passed forged check
In this city, but got away before the
forgery was discovered. He finally
turned UP in the Albany penitentiary,
where he is serving a term of two years
for grand larceny, having been sentenced
from Albany under the name of Mallery.
Chief Little began an investigation OF
the criminal record. He is now con-
vinced that Shear and young Stewart,
the soldier murderer of 1868, are one and
the same person. This belief Is
strengthened by Shears horror of COM
ing to Elmira.

A SAD PICNIC.
One Man Killed and Another Injured
5n a storm.


CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, July 1O.-The ex-
cursion Of a merry party of picnickers
from this city met with a sad ending at
Chicamauga today. One OF the party, ex-
Alderman John d. Crimmins was killed,
and Chief of Police Dock Mitchell was
seriously injured. About a dozen members
OF the Tammany political organization,
headed by Chief of Police Mitchell. took
one OF the cltys patrol wagons early this
morning and drove to Chicamauga, where
they intended to spend the day.
About noon severe storm came UP, the
wind blowing at an unprecedented rate in
refuge under the wagon, and Crimmins
aud Mitchell under a large oak tree They
had hardly become located when terrific
gust Of wind tore the top off a huge tree
from the trunk and 10 came shining to the
ground with frightful velocity Both men
jumped, but too late. The falling tree
struck Crimmins on the top of the head
and the limbs caught Mitchell. The
formers head was frightfuily mangled,
and the latter had two ribs and n wrist
broken, a foot badly mashed and received
severe cuts over his body
The injured men were removed to the
where Crimmins died in half an hour.
Chief Mitchell is very dangerously Injured,
but il is thought will recover. The wind
storm Is the severest evSr known in this
section of North Georgia, tearing down
fences and moving the kallest corn as il
cut by a scythe. 1t was confined to the
immediate section. Chattanooga, only six
miles distant, experienced only a slight
storm.

7otRs Editor or tbs REGISTER;
SIR:-In your paper this week you
make mention of the fact that the
Riverside" and other iron factories,
potteries, glass-works, etc., are resum-
Ing operations. A daily paper publish
ed in this city says that when these
concerns stopped work about eight
weeks ago it was caused by the same
conditions which prevented other fac
tories from operating, throughout the
country. The cause this paper assigned
through its editorial columns embraced
the following:
Lack of confidence In the admins
tration now in power"
Fear of Democratic free trade"
"Monkeying with the tariff"
''The repeal OF the Sherman law"
AS these factories are going to re-
sumo, would you kindly inform me what
is the cause? The administration has
not changed its policy, but appears to
be more determined to repeal the Sher-
man law and monkey" with the tariff
and reform it sin spirit Of fairness to
all interests"
The explanations given by this paper
Of which speak are explanations that
do not explain.
"Let there be light"
Sincerely,

Mhr a WIG ohanre. her Name.

1t is said that the practice OF the
wife assuming the husbands name at
marriage originated from Roman Gus
tom and became the common custom
after the Roman occupation. Thus
Julia and Octavis, married to Pompey
and Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia of Pompey, and Octavia OF Cicero,
and in later times married women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same manner. but omitted
the ''of." Against this view may be
mentioned that during the sixteenth
and even the beginning Of the seven
teepth century the usage seems doubt
full. since, we find Catherine Psrr so
signing herself after she had been
twice married, and we always hear OF
Lady Jane Grey mot Dudley and Ara
bella Stuart mot SEYMOUR. Some per.
sons think that the custom originated
from the scriptural teaching that hus-
band and wife are one. II was decided
in the case of Bon VS.. Smith, In the
reign OF Elizabeth, that . woman oy
marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name OF her hus-
bRRd.

How Russia Stands with France.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 1s.-lt
IS officially denied here that the Rus
sian Government intends to issue new
four per cent. loan in France about the
time that the Russian feet visits Toulon
Reports circulate here to the effect
that the Car Is displeased at the extra
demonstrative manner in which 1t Is
proposed to welcome the Russian officers
who are to visit Paris, and an intlma-
ton of this description Is said to have
been unoffiially communicated to the
French Government.
The acceptance Of too many conces-
sions from France would place Russia
in the position OF almost being obliged
TO support the former country in case OF
war, This it is understood, Russia Is
not prepared to do; 1t is only under
certain circumstances that Russia
would side with France; and 1t Is
claimed that Russia desires this to De
known as the real state OF affairs. In
other words, Russia is said to stand
toward France in about the same posi-
ton as England stands toward the

We are told that most Of the land is
