LONDON. June 25.-It would be hard
10 describe the feeling that prevails
everywhere in the kingdom in regard
TO the calamity that has befallen the
country through the loss of the battle
ship Victoria off Tripoli. In some
quarters a certain amount OF indigna-
ton is expressed that such an accident
should occur, but so far as known there
is no foundation for this feeling.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Malta states that
the Victoria was cat i'm two. Most OF
those who lost their lives were drowned
by being drawn under the water by the
suction caused by the sinking ship. Vice
Admiral Sir Geo. Tryon was picked up
shortly after the laundering of his flag
ship and carried On board the battle
ship Edinburg, one of the fleet under
his command, where he died soon af-
terward. The dispatch vessel, Surprise,
commander Il. +. Tillard, is expected
TO arrive at Malta tomorrow. She will
convey to Malta the body of Rear Adj
miral Tryon. The remainder of the
heet is due to arrive at Malta On Mon
day.
1t is stated this morning that no at
tempt will be made to recover the
bodies Of those who went down in the
Victoria. The vessel lies in 4S0 feet of
water and it would be an almost i'm.
possible task TO recover the dead. 1t is
probable that in the course OF Il very
few days a number of the bodies will
doat out from the hull and all these
will be watched for and given burial CD

ent's Arrival

Sioux FALLS, :. d., June 25.-The
iivorce colony is just ow in a decided
iutter over the presence here of Mrs.
Allison, of New York, who is the spe-
.ial correspondent for a number of
metropolitan newspapers. Mrs. ALI
son was here about a year ago and the
articles she furnished of prominent pin
grims were filled with spice and detail.
The further report that Mrs. Allison
will soon publish an article on the col
my life in Town Topics has not added
% the happiness OF those who may Sc
.ure mention. 1T was stated at the
-ataract house that Mrs. Allison had
made arrangements to remain eight or
line months, which was thought to
nea that She herself was a member of
he pilgrim band, but it is generally
believed that she is here collecting
acts for an article.
In spite of the new law l~engthening
he time of residence the colony holds
is " il not better. There are now
here about 200 who are seeking relief
rom the CALLING bonds of matrimony.
six different parties came in on one
lay last week, and the r~einforcements
some as fast as diplomas are granted.
It is very difficult, however, to fnd out
who these people are, as many of them
90 under assumed names and stop a,
private houses. But few of the cases
ire brought in this county, most of the
attorneys preferring to bring their
Eases outside to avoid publicity.

MERRILL MADE NO THREAT.
The Methodist Bishop Did Not Intimate a
Fair Boycott.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 24.-Rev. DR..
~Parkhurst, of Somcrfield Methodist
church, has returned from the worlds
fair and said regarding Bishop Mer-
rill's threat to boycott the fair:
while in Chicago | learned pos
itively that he fAd made nc such threat
or intimation W .ltever. All that he
did say vas in reply TO a newspaper
mans inquiry as to what the church
would be likely to do when he declared
he could give no information, as the
matter, if taken up at all. would come
before the church board, and he had no
authority to act or advise in the affair.
As a matter of fact, had he or
any other bishop or the entire board of
bishops, declared that Methodists
should not go to the worlds fair, such
order would not receive any particular
degree of obedience on the part of
ministers or people, and all who ex-
pected to go to the fair would do SO
anyway. AS for myself and family. we
could not afford to lose the educational
advantages Of the great exposition, and
would not if all the bishops of the
Methodist church said we should not
go. Again, the Methodist people are
unalterably opposed, in every shape
and form, to that decidedly dangerous,
un-Amcrican, unwise and unjust
weapon, the boycott"

INGALLS, COLOR BLIND.
fred Douglass Scores the Ex-senator From
the Sunflowsr State.

CHICAGO, June 23.-"I consider John

iidence of the colorcd people," said
Fred Douglass, in speaking Of the SEN
ator's recent article on the black race.
ut is not SO many years ago" he con-
Of John Brown and the champion of
the colored people. There have been
but few national problems in the last
three years of which he has not sooner
or later been upon both sides. He is
now agitating "a subject that has been
settled. The war settled the slavery
question. Congress settled the en-,
reimbursement question. The people
have decided that the negro is
a citizen, that he is entitled
to the emoluments and honors of
Office and that he shall be protected in
his civ | rights. The social question
cannot be settled by legislation. The
rich man will associate with his class
and "A poor man with his. A person
may occupy IA seat at the best table in
the land and still be as distant from
the company socially as the north pole
Is from the south. Riding in the best

make social equality. There must be
mutual interests, intellectual and
moral attractions.

and whites are as far apart as in the
beginning is not borne out by the facts
There has been AN a~dmiXture Of tho
whites and the blacks. Whether the
proportion will increase i'm ratio in the
future do not know, but the evidence
points hat way.
, THE trouble with Ingalls, is that the
colored people of Kansas crushed him
and he takes this way of venting his
spleen. This theory that the negro is
drifting back to barbarism is confuted
on every side. IL he will look about he
will see "A rising generation of well
educated negroes. He will see the
negro reading and thinking. lie will
see him interested in moral and politi-
cal reforms; he will see them steadily
climbing upward and onward. But
then Ingalls, is color blind. He can't
see anything but the avalanche Of
negro votes which recently over
whelmed him.
"While in the senate he exercised
some influence, but since his enforced
withdrawal he has lost whatever infiu.
ence he possessed. His utterances
since Kansas repndiated him have indi-
Gated that he is running amuck, cutting
and attacking everything within reach.
This is not his first ebullition of pas
sion against the negro. Just before he
left the senate he made a speech much
on the same line with this article"

CHICAGO, June 23.-The real estate
firm of Baird q Bradley made an AS
signment in the county court Thursday
to the Title Guarantee and Trust
company. The assets are placed at
5000, 900 and liabilities at $500, DOC. AL;
though the failure was a compete sur.
prise to the real estate world in Chi
Gag and commercial interests generally
It has been considered by the firm fol-
several days past. An effort was made
by the partners to avert the suspension,
but owing to the unsettled state OF at
fairs in finance and trade IL was
found impossible to realize upon their
assets by tie receipt of ready cash.
For two weeks the firm has been labor
ing wit, the situation. They have
plenty I. assets in the way of valuable
real eslatc, which IL they could ave
disposed Of would have saved them
from going into insolvency. But the
condition Of the real estate MAJ lket Mt
the present time is not stimulating and
ready cash is not forthcoming. Baird

THE GREAT CRITIC ARRIVES
Reaches chica 70 to Challenge the Winner
OF the Griffin. Smith Contest.

CHICAGO, June 25.-AlLert Griffiths.
better known as "Griffo," the Austria
liam featherweight, arrived In Chicago
from Australia, via San Francisco.
Critic is accompanied by Ed Alexan.
der. erstwhile handler of George Daw-
son, and states that he is able and will.
ing to fight anybody in the world, the
winner of the Griffin-Smith fight, which
takes place here July 10, preferred.
Critic ard Alexander, accompanied by
Tommy White and Bookmalker Rose,
waited on Domineck G. O'Malley, pres.
ident of the Columbian club, last night
and made IN effort to bring about o
match. After making Critic an offer,
to which Alexander took excep
tons, the proposition was with
drawn and it is doubtful if it will be re.
newed. Mr.. O'Malley, when he thought
the matter over, concluded that the
Chicago fight followers had quite
enough Of antipodean talent OF the
tapis, and it is a question whether any
effort will be made to ecure Critic.
Aside from the surfeit of Australians,
although they are all good fighters,
O'Malley has quite n lot of the lighter
men booked ahead, and will in all like
lihood set his bait for some of the
heavier talent. Grlffo, il Alexander
adheres too closely TO his exalted
notions of what purse offerings ara
commensurate with his stars worth,
is likely to go a long while without
getting on "a fight. He was offered
81, 500 to meet Johnny Van Heest in
August, but declined the proposition.
He wants big money and wants a fight
right away. lie may not get either.
Alexander might do something for his
young man If he would listen some to
Tommy White, who is acquainted with
the iistic situation here.
Hughie Napier, although at weight
yesterday morning, is still keeping at
work at the %Iroquois boat house and
along the north shore. Mick Dunn,
his trainer, Says that Hughie is fine as
silk, and that he does not see how his
man can lose. From Bobby Burns
crarte-s "owes the report that Bobby
scaled 1909 pounds yesterday morning,
at which weight he will keep until
Monday morning. His rest during the
day of the contest will, he hopes, net
him about a pound. He will, there.
fore, enter the ring about half a pound
below the stipulated weight. Peter
Maher, the Irish champion, who is to
meet Val Flood in "a ten round bout,
as a curtain raiser to the Napier
Burns contest, is getting himself in
trim in the neighborhood of Douglas
parlt, under the watchful eye of Den
yer" Ed Smith. Maher was in pretty
good shape when he arrived here and
is simply getting his bellows in condi-
ton to make a hurricane battle. Sam
Fitzpatrick, Peter Jackson's old trainer,
is looking after Val Flood. Fitzpat-
rick is considered one of the best
trainers in America, which alone is
sufficient guaranty that Flood will
step through the ropes fit To go any
distance. Flood is an unknown guam
tity in America, but Dan Creedon. Tom
Tracey, and others who have seen him
perform in Australia say that he will
not only surprise the spectators next
Monday night, but will give Maher
something to think about.

South Dakota Crop Conditions.

HURON, S. D., June 29.-Director
Glenn, of the United States weather
bureau in this city, gives the following
concerning crops in South Dakota, up
to date:
During the past week the temperature
has averaged from ) to Z degrees daily
above the average, while the amount OF
sunshine was considerably in excess,
nearly every day being clear.
Rain, very badly distributed, fell prin-
cipaliy throughout the state in the form
Of scattered showers, on the l4th and 18th
inst. The light rainfall and continued
high winds, which have prevailed during
the week. have tended, somewhat, to in
jure the grain, but to no great extent.
Rain would be very beneficial, and the
drouth which is mostly in the central
portion Of the state, has somewhat
checked the advancement of small grain,
although corn is making considerable ad-
vancement.

1890 Saturday morning. Time OF
passage, 5 days, Is hours and 81 min.
utes. Distance. 2,S64 knots.
The Campania's voyage, which has
Just ended, is a better n than the
Paris fast trip from Liverpool, 5 days,
IA hours and "a minutes, as the follow.
ing will show: The Paris ran over the
short course. 2,72s miles. in 8 days, II
hours and "a minutes. The Campania

ing clearly that had she come over the

FALL RIVER, Mass, June 25.-The
police of this city have untangled them
selves from the snarl Ex-Governor Rob-
lnson got them into at New Bedford
Turing the Borden trial and in response
to a public demand formally began to
look for the person who murdered An
drew j. Borden and his wife. The first
thing they did was TO call on Parson
Jubb, who startled a New York cor
respondent Tuesday by telling him
that the counsel for the defense
had a pretty strong opinion
that they knew who did the
murders, and had the jury returned n
other verdict the mans arrest would
have been ordered Immediately. Fur
thermore, the minister said this sus-
pected party was well known in Fall
River. When questioned about this
Mr.. Jennings smiled and said that Mr..
Jubb had put the matter too positively.
The person referred TO was n former
clerk Of Andrew Borden, who left his
employ some years Y under "a cloud
and has lived out of the city ever since.
The girls have again offered "a reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
murderer.
