Stuttgart, June 6.-There was a ire
mendous cloudburst yesterday evening
over the Wurtemberg portion of the
Black Forest district, causing destruction
of property. The downfall of water
caused the River Eyach to rise and many
houses at Ballingen Frommer, Dirrwange

The Black Forest is mountainous re-
gion of southwestern Germany in the
grand duchy of Baden and the west of
Wurtemberg, separating the basins Of the
Rhine and Neckar. In many places it is

RESTORE QUACKENBUSH.
Justice Bradley Says the Presl-
dents Inactivity is La
nnentable.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE appli-
cation of John NJ. Quackenbush, late
commander United States navy, for a
writ of mandamus to compel Secretary
Herbert to restore his name to the rolls
of the navy came up in the district court
today, the question at issue being whether
Il rule should issue requiring Secretary
Herbert to show cause why the manda-
mus should not be granted.
Quackenbush was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to dismissal from the
navy but his sentence was committed by
the President to suspension for six years.
Before the expiration of this time the Of
fcer next below him in rank was pro-
NOTED into his place. and later Secretary
Chandler removed his name from the
rolls. Quackenbush applied repeatedly
to Congress for reinsta tement and sew
eral times nearly succeeded in his efforts.
In discussing the case Justice Bradley
said he was of the opinion that this
court had no jurisdiction, the only rem
edy lying with Congress. He continued:
THE case, however, is one to excite the
sympathy of any unprecedented person.
The record shows that it was not the
intention of the President or the secre-
tary of the navy to dismiss Quacken-
bush, and that he was dismissed ac-
cidentally by the promotion of another
officer to his place. He could have been
restored at any time by recommendation
to Congress made by the President Or
secretary, and delay in doing this re-
fleets on the holders of these places.
Simple justice demands his restoration
and if it is possible | will grant the
must decide that this court has no juris-

ARE ON MEADE'S TRAIL.
Administration Hopes the Naval
Veteran will Criminate
Himself.

Washington, D. c., June S-Navy Off
GERS generally have been reused over the
condemnation by President Cleveland
of Admiral Meade in the absence of all
evidence that the veteran had made the
criticisms attributed to him. 1t is an
unusual thing, they say, to retire an
rank, and reprimand him without the
formality Of u trial. Most of the staff
officers here are afraid to talk of the
Meade case at all, but few cOnfiden-
TALLY express the opinion that the Presi-
dent exceeded his authority as COM
mander-in-c in rebuking Admiral
Meade as he did in an official order
There is a strong suspicion afioat that
the Meade case is by no means ended.
According to a report to be printed to-
morrow in the Army and Navy Register,
the official organ of the regular service,
the administration let Meade loose, but
with cable ready to make fast at the
trst opportunity. In other words, it is
said, Secretary Herbert has Meade
lrlder observation and expects in time
that the admiral will make admissions
on which q trial can be based. Just now
courtmartial would fail to convict,
because the admiral could not be made
to testify against himself regarding the
criticisms OH the secretary he was re-
ported to have made.
Friends of Meade say they have posi-
tive evidence he is being watched and
spied upon to make him criminate him
self, and they charge the navy depart
ment has degcnerated into a detective
bureau. 1t is freely alleged that in re-
voking the authority of the admiral to go
abroad on years leave the President
and Secretary Herbert entertained the
expectation that sooner or later the adj
miral would commit himself. The adj
mlral is somewhat impulsive at times,
It is explained, and in moment of anger
he might say he had been correctly re-
ported. knowledge of such an admission
would finally reach the navy department
court together. TIE who sympathize
with the admiral are highly indignant at
the idea of that officer being kept under
espionage. They say, however, the OBJ
ject of the authorities will not be at
tanned, as the admiral is fully aware of
the present expectation in his case and is
observing the strictest silence respecting
his affairS

CALL no CONVENTION.
National Democratic Committee will
Refuse the Springfield
Request.

Philadelphia, Pa, June SIN speaking
of the action of the Altgeld Democratic
free silver convention Chairman William
F. Harrity of the National Democratic
committee expresses his views freely. He
said:
Il have no idea any considerable num-
Der of members of the Democratic Ma
tional committee will ask that Demo-
cratic convention be called for the pur-
pose Of considering the currency question.
Such q convention is not only unneces-
sary but it is undesirable. It would still
further stimulate the agitation of the
currency question and would be likely to
disturb the business interests of the
country. People generally are we'll sat
isfed with the progress that is now be-
ing made toward improved business con-
ditions. Most Of the factories mills and
furnaces are now running on pretty near
ly full time. Every day we read of an
increase in the wages of employees. L
see no necessity for holding a Democratic
national convention until the summer of
1896 and will certainly oppose any move
ment to have one prior to that time. l
do not believe there is any occasion for
convention at this time. On the con-
trary. | am of opinion to call one now
would be harmful to the business inter-
ests of the country and prejudicial to the
interests OF the DemOcfallc party.
Boston, Mass, June S.-United States
Assistant Treasurer Joseph O'Neil is not
disposed to attach much Importance to the
free silver convention recently held in
Springfield nor to take seriously the state
ment that if it's action shall be followed
out to it's logical conclusion the Democrat
ic party will be in danger of disruption.
He says that any convention that could
be called by the silver men if they were
to ignore the authority of the Democratic
notonal committee would be but trump
convention and would not be representa-,
tive of the Democratic party. Although
he admits there is a strong feeling in the
South and West in favor of free coinage
of silver. Mr.. O'Neil says the views of the
extremists who were present at this
Springfield convention do not represent
the sentiments of the majority of the peo~
pie nor even a majority of the Demo-
cratic party.
IF they persist in their course" said
Mr. O'Neil, Tin my belief it will result i'll
the further degradation of silver rather
than it's advancement because the more
this question is discussed before as intelli-
gent a jary as the people of the United
States it seems to me the worse it is for
the extreme advocates of silver"

M'LAUGHLIN is ILL.
Ex-Inspector of Police Of New York
May Not Live to Serve
His Term.

New York, June S.-William w. Nc
Laughlin, late inspector of police and
chief of the detective bureau of the me-
tropolis, who was convicted of extortion
and bribery, spent a restless night in
the Tombs. The wardens and keepers
felt keenly for the man they had known
and looked up to in the days before dis
honor came upon him, and they treated
him with all the kindness and courtesy
possible in the circumstances. He was
pale and nervous and appeared in state
of collapse He was assigned to cell 67
on the second tier in the old building.
Although the hour was late and he must
have been terribly fatigued, he showed
no inclination either to rest or go to bed.
He walked up and down in his cell
throughout the long hours. At intervals
he would sit for few moments and
then start up again. But no sleep came
to his relief. Today he declined to see
reporters or to make any statement.
1t is believed by his friends and those
who have watched the course of the trial
that he will never serve day in penal
prison

Washington. D. c., June 6.-Mr. De
LONE, the Spanish minister to the United
States, has called the attention of the
state department to allegations that fill
clustering expeditions against Spanish
authority in Cuba are being fitted out in
the bayous of the lower Mississippi river
The communication also states that
armed citizens of some of the Southern
states often paraded with arms with a
view of joining some of these outgoing
expeditions, or at least to give active en-
couragement to the Cuban insurrection-
lists. Some of the statements were too
meager for present official action 1t is
believed at the department that there is
little truth in the reports which reach
here from the South of the fitting Gait of
warlike expeditions against Cuba, but
should it be shown that expeditions are
being organized. which come within the
prohibitions of international law and our
treaties with Spain, there will be no de-
