KENNEBUNKPoRT, May 19.-The finish
of the great race against time for money
and fame which the cruiser New York
will make next Monday from Cape Ann
to Cape Porpoise may be seen from this
vicinity.
Some may not know that the distance
on the water is computed on the lines of
the old United Statescoast survey. At
this end of the line, few days since,
Lieut.. T. B. Howard and Ensign F. VIM.
Jenkins of the United States navy de-
partment were here and located the ex-
act spot on 'the summit near the No.
13 school house, where the United States
coast survey signal station formerly
stood, and there they have re-erected a
signal. from which, over Goat Island
light house at Cape Porpoise harbor, a
buoy placed some four miles our at sea
the range shall be the eastern goal of the
route; the distance of this range from
the point of starting is computed by the
system of triangulation which has long
been used in the government, surveys.
The steamers, tug boats and sailing
vessels wishing good positions can easily
find this range, say about northwest
over the Goat Island light, and by keep
ing nearer the shore than the fleet, can
hold the range more accurately when
noting the time. People who comeihere
by train or team to see the trial will
find the best views from the high grounds
easterly of the Ocean Bluff Hotel, from
the grove near the dwelling of Mrs.
Henry Brooks or from Grow Hill and
other points at Cape Porpoise village.

Eula1ie Found a Big Crowd Waiting and
Seemed to Enjoy It.

Seemed to Enjoy 1t.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-More than an
hour before the time for the arrival this
evening of the train bearing the Infanta
Ealalie and her suite an immense crowd
gathered in the vicinity of the railroad
station. The attaches of the Spanish
legation were at the station as early as Z.
Four troops of the United States cavalry
under Col. Henry from Fort Myer
formed in a long line on the 9th street
side Of the station. The train arrived at
500. The Princess was assisted from
the train by Commodore Davis, who
presented Secretary Gresham as the
representative of the president. Secre-
tary Gresham offered his arm to the
Princess and preceded by Col. Wilson
and R. A. Park, general southern pas.
senger agent of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, and followed by the Infanta's suite
| and others of the official gathering, they
walked down the carpeted platform to
the carriage entrance of the station.
| The Princess looked pleased as she saw
| the large throng gathered to receive her.
| The Infanta, Secretary Gresham, Senior
| Murugua, the Spanish minister, and
Prince Antoine, the Infanta's husband,
| entered the Presidents carriage. The
| calvary men saluted and the procession
began to move up Pennsylvania avenue,
| towards the Arlington. Four buglers on
horseback led the four troops of cavalry.
one of which, composed of colored sol
diers from the Fighting 9th,' formed
the escort of the royal party. Six SER
geants of cavalry acted as body guard
to the Princess. Following her carriage
came the carriages containing her
suite and members of the receiving party.
An immense crowd lined both sides of
| Pennsylvania avenue. The apartments
| provided for the Princess and her suite
are an annex to the hotel and form sep
arate house. When the head of the
column of troops came up to the hotel,
the cavalry wheeled into line, coming to
dress parade. The Princess alighted
upon the arm of Secretary Gresham, and
| followed by her husband and the Spanish
| minister entered the house. Col. Wilson
received the party at the door. The
Princess passed into the reception room
accompanied by Secretary Gresham and
Assistant Secretaries Adee and Quincy
and her suite. A moment later the
representatives of the government with
drew. The Princess soon retired to her
rooms to secure good nights rest

NEW YORK, May 19.-The three ves-
sells, the Maria Christina, Infanta Isabel
and the U. S. S. Dolphin, presented
pretty sight as they rode at an
chor off Sandy Hook this morning, dec
Grated with the flags of all nations flying
in the strong breeze prevailing. At $50
the Spanish vessels weighed anchor, and
passing in were preceded by the Dolphin
which had been awaiting their move
ments off the government dock inside
the Hook. The Dolphin steamed ahead
of the Spaniards, leading the way up
through the ship channel, saluting with
her bow chaser. The three vessels
reached quarantine at 1920.
The transfer of the Infanta was made
at quarantine. DR.. Jenkins boarded the
Reina Maria Christina to pay his respects
to the Infanta and shortly afterward an
eight-oared boat, with the Spanish flag
in the stern and the standard of Spain in
front of it, was pulled to the gangway.
AS thesInfanta and Prince Antonio went
over the side the Saragassa band on the
Reina Maria Christina struck up the
Spanish national anthem. The small
boat then pulled around the Reina Maria
Christina and headed for the Infanta Isa-
bel, which was surrounded by tugs,
yachts and small boats. AS the boat
bearing the Infanta approached the war
ship yards were manned, and as she went
on board salute of 21 guns was fired.
When the guns of the war ship had
ceased their booming the cannon at Fort
Hamilton took up the strain and an
swered the salute gun for gun. Upon
the cessation of the firing the crew of the
Infanta Isabel gave three cheers for their
royal visitor.
At IL. 10 the Infanta Isabel headed up
the bay for Jersey City. The Dolphin
was next away.
Upon his return to Quarantine, DR..
Jenkins stated that his reception by the
Infanta was extremely Courteous. He
expressed to her his best wishes that she
should have a pleasant visit to the
United States, and the Infanta in re-
sponse thanked him and said that it had
long been the wish of her heart to visit
this country.
1t was evident that DIR. Jenkins ex-
pected to be received in the most formal
| manner, but he was most agreably dis
appointed, finding the Infanta to be as
Democratic as native-born American
At noon, the Infanta was transferred to
the Dolphin and later took a special
train from Jersey City for Washington.

A Remarkable Story Concerning the
Reading Presidency.

NEW York, May 19.-The correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Record, has the
following to say regarding President
Mcleod of the Boston & Maine and New
York & New England railroad: "a
very remarkable story has been circula-
ting in such quarters that it ought to be
reported as part of the news. 1t fol-
lowed the report which Mr.. Rice has
made of the relations of the Reading
Company to the deal in New England
railway properties last fall.
''The report, although showing that
the Reading Company is obligated by
something like $1,000, 900 on account of
these deals, and is perhaps out even
more money than that, was nevertheless
surprise here. For it has been SO fire.
quently said that the investigation would
show that the Reading was much more
heavily involved than that, and there
have been so many hints that it would
further reveal that Mr.. Mcleod and
some of his associates had profited per-
sonally by these deals, that the report
seemed tame, and was entirely different
from that which was expected.
1.-THE comment here is that even Mr..
Rice. who is said to have pretty well de-
fined views of his own as to the way
Reading should be financed and reor-
ganized and who has been believed to be
after Mr.. Mcleod with sharp stick, as
the saying is, was unable to find that he
had profited personally to the extent of
single dollar by these deals.
'oThe brief discussion which the re-
port caused became an excited one when
there was received intimation from what
seemed to be good authority that it is
entirely likely that Mr.. Mcleod may be
found again at the head of the Reading
within few months, and at the request
of powerful moneyed interests which
have been and are influential in that cor
poration.
"Although the report seems incredi-
BILE, yet many strong men believe
that the indications point to the truth of
it, and that ultimately it may be found
that great game in railroad financing
is going on; that Mcleod is the chief
pawn in the game and moves obediently
to the powerful moneyed interests that
are directing it and has been so doing
from the beginnings

PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-Isaac Rice,

and objects to the resolution of Decem,
ber "a. He states his resignation is due
to his not being inssfull achord with the
management which an officer of the COM
pany should be.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
But Presbyterians Think Their seminaries
Should Be Under Better Control.

WASHINGTON, May l9.-In the Presby-
terian General Assembly today the re-
port of the committee on the relation of
the assembly and the theological semina-
ries was read and the committee contin-
ued. The report said that it was evi-
dent that at the time of the formation of
the theological seminaries of the Presby-
terian church, it was the purpose of the
church to maintain a direct and COM
plete control by the General Assembly,
of the teaching and property of it's theo-
logical seminaries. While Union and
Lane seminaries might be
regarded as connected with the
Presbyterian church, the church has no
control of any kind over the teaching or
property of these seminaries and can
afford the donors of funds to them no
protection in applying gifts to
the purposes to which they are made.
The committee says it has come to no
conclusion as to what method should be
adopted by the church either in securing
more effective control over the property
and teaching of existing seminaries or in
securing control of the teaching and
property of future seminaries.
