there was a promenade and ball.
The dancing, however, was mostly
by professionals 1 judged, and was
distinguished purely for the high
kicking.
L leave here tomorrow for Trou-
vile, watering place on the coast,
where the best French horses are
racing. The card for tomorrow is
very fine, and 1 am told that on Sun
days they have the best racing, the
largest attendance and best people.
Think of it Racing on Sunday
Why, l hardly escaped jail last fall
for fishing on Sunday, and didn't
catch anything at that. While here
racing is at its best. Note the diff
ference in Mississippi. Everything
must close on Sunday, and it's
church or nothing. No shave, no
drink, no fishing or huntlng-noth-
ing. Garry pistols, however, get
the drop on fellow and shoot him
in his tracks. Do you know that if
we would obey the law IN Mississippi
in regard to carrying concealed weap-
ons as we do IN regard to closing
barber shops, we would scarcely
ever infringe Gods law-taking our
brothers lifeor shedding his blood?
Do you know that thousands of good
people and millions of good money
would come to abide and stay with
us, that doesn't now, because men
value their lives and happinessF I
assert that the pistol has done our
State more harm than all evils COM
bined. [ favor rigid enforcement
of the laws relative to carrying them
as the best thing that can be done
for the State. !
On banking holiday at London we
went out to Hurst's Park to the
races. Jem Mace, the ex-champion
of the world, was making books. I
made several bets with HIM and lost
them all, but got into quite a little
conversation with HIM. He said he
was coming over to see us soon. l
replied that we would give him a
warm welcome and tip on a sure
thlng-that is Corbett to whip Fitz-
simmons. A little handicap race
was on, and not knowing what to
bet on, I asked Jem, and he replied
with laugh: "Why don't you back
the Americana" meaning Foxhall,
Keene's horse. which everybody
thought had no chance. I handed
him sovereign, saying: 81 will.
What are the odds?" He replied:
''Seven to one, but Pll give you
ten." I bet him only crown, and
as he returned the change he asked
why I didn't bet the whole sovereign.
The horse won in a canter. Now,
what do you think I did with the
winnings pounds? I paid it to
q man to kick me for not betting the
whole pound.
The longer 1 am here the more 1
love our country, and the more firm
lY convinced am I that the free coin
age of silver is our best policy. It is
not the balance of trade that is
against us, but the balance of travel.
1t is that that makes us export gold.
Hoping to be with you early In

But Boast Of Its Magnitude and Win Make
Every Effort for Its Success-Ths
Admlnlstratlon Aroused
Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-There is
reason to believe the visit here of Secre-
tary Olney and Yesterdays conference o. |.
the majority of the mem bers of the oab,.
net, together with the coinoident appear
ance in the city of Senior de LONE, the
Spanish minister. are directly connected
with the suppression of a proposed expe-
dition to Cuba which. it is claimed by Is
sympathizers, is of far greater Importance
than any party which has yet left the
United States for the purpose of carrying
aid to the Cuban insurgents. Under the
circumstances it is of course difficult to
secure details as to the proposed expedi.
ton, or OF the steps which are being taken
to prevent it, but it is definitely known
the Spanish minister has information
that the American sympathizers are pre-
pairing to send a very large and we'll
equipped party to Cuba, and that the
friends of the Cubans consider that the
effect of this movement, if successful,
would be inspiring to the Insurgents, be-
cause OF the size of the party proposed to
be sent out. 1t is also understood the in
stigators of the enterprise are counting
very confidently on the expedition being
able to evade the vigilance of the United
States, and on getting off in good shape
at no very distant day. Senor DeLome is
deVoting himself assiduouslv to prevent
ing the the departure OF this party. 1t
cannot be learned definitely whether the
minister has recsived any new assurances
from the administration of special efforts
to prevent the departure Of this or any
other expedition in the future. but there
are some circum stances which indicate
that he has received the desired assur-
ance. 1t is predicted very confidently
that the proposed expedition will never
leave the coast of the United States.
Orders have been issued to two revenue
cutters one Of which was at Charleston.
and the other at Newborne. to proceed at
once to Key West. The orders included
directions to keep sharp outlook for
Cuban .filihustering expeditions. The
MAcLean is already at Key West, and the
orders to the other two cutters to rein
force her. it is believed were issued as
a result of yesterdays cabinet conference.

Again the Arch Fiend Holmes

CHICAGO. July 21.-The Tribune says:
To: the long list of murders and other
crimes directly traceable to the arch -fend
II. H. Holmes must now be added the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs. |. l..
Connor and h er 12-year-old child, with a
reasonable certainty that they may have
been disposed of IN the same manner in
which the rest Of his victims met their
death. Mrs. Connor and her child were
last seen in the company of Holmes in
this city IN 1893. Since then all trace of
them has been lost, and the shrewdest
dstectIves VINO have been working on the
case are now Of the opinionNhat the find
ing of their bodies is the only possible
solution of the mystery. There are Cir
cumstances which. while at first seeming
Iy susceptible OF explanation, now point
in the direction of another double murder
at the hands OF the greatest villain Of
modern times.
Mrs. Connor came originally from Dav-
enport, Iowa. where she married l. l..
Connor, jeweler, nearly fifteen years
ago, when she was IS years old. To them
a child was born and in 1889 Connor and
his wife and girl, then I or 8 years old
came to Chicago. Holmes at that time
was Just beginning to frame the swindes
for which he later became notorious, and
and started jewelry store in Englewood.
Connor went to WORK for Holmes and
moved his family into fat over the
store.
1t was not long after this until Connor
became aware that the relations between
Holmes and his wife were not Of
nature consistent with the laws of So
ciety, and he soon left her. Before long
Mrs. Connor and the child disappeared
and no trace of them has since been
found.

Since the exposure of Holmes rascalty
it has been ascertained the Guerlys were
no. neighbors Of his at Sixty-third and
Wallace streets but were on intimate
terms socially with him. 1t is now sus-

Later Redmond went insane and was
arraigned in court, his wife appearing as

block from Holmes store, her identity
being concealed by dressing her in boys
