ayers OF the house of refuge which
has decided to instruct Supt. Bris-
toll to allow clergymen Of all de-
nominations to hold services in the
institution according to the forms
OF their several creeds. The Super
intendent some weeks ago refused
to permit the Catholic clergy to en-
ter the institution for the purpose
OF holding services as they had
done for fifteen years. The Mar
quette club, the leading Catholic
organization Of the city, took up
the cause of the excluded eccles-

defended Bristol. Delegations

Woman's A. P. A. organization,

presented resolutions to the board

good deal of feeling has been
aroused and the A. p. A. take their
defeat with much bitterness.

Mrs. Farrell Delivers Herself up for
Trial, Charged With the Muir
der of Her Husband,

LA PLATA, Md, June 25.-The
trial OF Mrs. Belle Farrell, for the
murder OF her husband is in prog
ress in the Circuit court Of Charles
county. Mrs. Farrell, who has
been in hiding since the coroner's
jury accused her of the crime, sur
rendered herself and was taken to
the house Of Sheriff Albrittan, at
Port Tobacco. Mrs. Farrelps coun-
sci, Ex-Congressman Mudd and
Col. Wilmer, and her friends have
always announced that she would
appear for trial, but tnat she did
not want to be confined in the
Charles county Jail, owing to its
unsanitary condition.
Frederick Farrell died at
fayetteville, where he kept hotel
on December II last. DIR. l.. G.
Carrico, who was called to see him
the night before, thought that the
patient was suffering from uramic
commissions and did not detect
symptoms OF strychnine poisoning.
Mrs. Farrell said she had given her
husband dose Of quinine. He
himself thought he had mania
potus, as he had been drinking
very hard.
DIR. E. E. Schaeffer, of Washing
ton, who made a post mortem ex.
animation OF the body and ana
lyized the internal organs dis
covered the poison in the remains
At the coroner's inquest more evil

SEATTLE, Wash, June 25.-The
schooner q. w. Watson, which
cleared from this port last night,
with lumber for Honolulu, intends
taking on field pieces, small arms
and ammunition off Cape Flattery.
Large shipments Of arms and am
munition have been made to Puget
Sound by rail, and are now either
stored or cached at various points
in the vicinity Of Everett and
Whatcom. After the Watson
rounds Cape Flattery, it is said
that she will dump her big cargo
into the sea, and a large number
of small ships and schooners will
sail seward from the points men,
toned, bringing out the hidden
arms and ammunition to the Wat
son for her new cargo. She will
then head for small island in the
Hawaiian group, which has been
selected because it is peculiarly
adapted to the landing OF the con-
traband cargo. II the plans do not
miscarry, an instruction may be
expected to follow. This bold
scheme is said to have been I'M
-earthed by agents Of the govern
ment recently. 1t is said that some
San Francisco shippers and some
women in Honolulu. who are
worth $25,000,000, proposed fitting
up a vessel at this port with heavy
guns and small arms, and then 60

SALISBURY ASKS TOO MUCH.
HEDGING AGAINST THE DEFEAT OF
ANY OF HIS SELECTED
CABINET.
Doubtful if the Liberals Will Con-
sent to Make No Opposition
to the Election of Any
of the New Min
listers.

LONDON, June 25.--The MARQUIS
OF Salisbury has agreed to form a
ministry, but there exists some
doubts in the public mind as to
whether the conditions he attaches
to his acceptance OF the task will be
consented to by the outgoing Lib
eral ministry. 1t Is said that he
will demand there be no opposition
to voting the necessary estimates
before the proposed dissolution OF
parliament and that none of the
members OF the cabinet chosen by
him shall be opposed for reelection
at the coming elections.
Mr.. Gladstone was in consulta-
tion with Lord Roseberry and
other leaders OF the Liberals until
a late hour last night, but nothing
has been given out as to their de-
cision on these questions. The
Daily News, the organ OF the Lib
erals, strenuously advises against
any such concessions on the part OF
the Liberals to their opponents.
Goschen continues busy with the
makeup Of the coming cabinet
and the best opinion seems to be
that the Duke Of Devonshire will
be given the place of foreign secre-
tary with Mr.. Balfour as first lord
Of the treasury. Mr.. Chamberlain
is to be secretary of state for the
war department. The notice sent
to the Conservatives throughout
the country to prepare for disso-
luton is indicative of Lord Sails.
bury's plans. The Conservatives
and the Liberal Unionists seem to
be in perfect accord and no embar.
rassment is anticipated in the
makeup Of the cabinet from con-
flicting claims of the allied parties,
which are now practically one. Mr..
Goschen, who was chancellor of
the eXchequir in former cabinet,
Is stated by the gossips, for first
lord OF the admiralty. Rumors
that Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt
will retire from public life il Lord
Rosebery Is continued In the lead
ership OF the Liberal party, are de-
MED by the Daily News, the organ
of the Liberals.
There has been gossip for many
months OF dissentions between
Lord Rosebery and his chancellor
of the exchequer, who has been the
Liberal leader Of the House Of Com
mons. 1t is expected that imme-
diately upon the passage Of the
seal fisheries bill for the regulation
Of sealing in the Behring sea, which
was presented by Sir. VIM. Har-

CORNELL AT HENLEY.
The English Coaches Criticise the
Stroke of Cornell But 1t Suits
the Americans Who Are
Visibly Improving.

NEW YORK, June pa special
to the World from Henley, Eng
land says: The coaches OF other
crews daily watch the performance
Of Cornell. They unanimously ex-
press utter disbelief in the cor
rectness and utility OF CornelPs
style. They admit its neatness and
precision, but declare the men do
not really begin work until their
oars are almost opposite the out
Triggers and this of course results
in q great slack of swing. Now,
swing is a fetish Of English oars
men, so much 80 that il English
crews could only get back and for
ward 80 degrees behind and before
the perpendicular the English boat
ing worldlwould applaud the rest.
The Cornell oarsmen, on the con-
trary, do, not meet back or forward
of the perpendicular much more
than ten degrees, the result being
to give the working Of the eight as
they sit all in row, an air OF decid-
ed mechanism.
Speaking on this swing contro-
versy, one Cornell oarsman, while
allowing the merits of fsultless
time and concerted action to some
Of the English crews-St. Johns
crew particularly, said he con-
sidered the English long stroke a
waste Of power, owing to the fact
that the oar was during a large
part of its transit through the
water at an angle now obtuse and
now acute, insteat Of absolutely
square to the stream.
Whatever the merits OF the con-
troversy are, no doubt the Cornell
men have been considerably i'm
proved since they reached Henley
and some OF the most partisan
Englishmen here are now begin
ming to think it possible that the
cup may go to America after all.
The Toronto men upon their ar
rival at Henley almost Immediate
ly were out trying the river. They
look like veterans in comparison
to the members Of the crews to
whom they will be opposed.

"cherokse Bill" on HIS Las Trail

"Cherokse Bill" on HIS Last Trail
FORT SMITH, Ark, June 25.-The
sentence Of Cherokee Bill calls for
his execution today, but he may be
reprieved at the last hour. He
murdered Ernest Melton at Len
apah, L. T., last November. He
was the most dreaded of all Indian
Territory outlaws. The cruelty of
Crawford Goldsby, for that is
Cherokee Bill's real name, is well
illustrated by the crime for which
he was sentenced. He and the
Verdigris Kid were robbing Schu-
fields store, when Melton came to a
window OF the store opposite and
looked out to see what was going
on. Through the window Of Schu-
fields store Cherokee Bill saw him,
raised his winchester and shot him.
Neither OF the men were masked,
and were recognized by several &C
quaintances. This was only one of
the three murders charged to Cher
okee Bill. The Verdigris Kid,
Cherokee BilPs partner, was killed
some months later while trying to
rob a town. Bill was also indicted
for killing his brother-in.law, Joe
Brown. The assassination Of Agent
Richards, at Nowata has also been
laid to him.

NEW CROP REPORT SCHEME.

A scheme to make an important change
In the system of crop reporting Is about
to be put into operation by the Agricul-
tural Department. A correspondent will
be located in every township, and, he will
be required to report promptly to the De
partment. The plan will embrace only
twenty States, ranging from New York
TO the innermost of the Central States,
but these comprise 90 per cent of the
wheat area. They include 1850 counties,
and the greatness of the scheme is appar-
ent when it is taken into consideration
that the number of townships in county
averages about fifteen. This will be- used
i'm conjunction with the systemssnow in
vogue. each set of reports acting ASA
check on the other. Steps looking to the
organization of the new correspondents
have been taken. but the new plan cannot
be put in operation before next year. The
plan suggested by committee of the Ma
plan was suggested by a committee ofsthe
NationalsB Board of Trade. Another plan'
that Of licensing all thrashers who are to
be required to make the reports, has been
under consideration, but it is not regarded
as feasible by officials. The thrashers
would have to be licensed by the State.

pose Of restraining the legislative lobby.
The measure IL known as the Barnum
bill and provides that all persons employed
rs counsel or agents In matters OF Iegis-
lation shall be duly registered In records
kept By the sergeant-at-arms and that no
person not 90 registered shall be permit
ted to appear before committees, etc. The

whom and In connection with what pend
ing bill the person IL employed. The
House did nothing.
By vote of 10 to II the Senate Monday

The Senators believed the bill to be I'M

Trade Booms in Sympathy with Cot
ton and Wheat.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: "More far-reaching than any
change during the past week, If really
warranted by facts, is the continued rise
sn prices of wheat and cotton. Real
scarcity of either would affect all bust
ness Happily there is still room to hope
that tales of injury are greatly exaggerat-
ed, although there has been some evidence
during the week that both the great crops
have suffered more than at first appeared.
Other changes are almost all favorable
and some highly encouraging. Labor
troubles are clearly less threatening. Mon
etary conditions are satisfactory, and the
substantial increase in the commercial de-
mand is good sign. Exchanges through
the clearing houses have been greatly in
fated by speculation, and at this time last
year were cut down by the coal strike and
toward the end of May, 1893, greatly re-
duced by bank failures, but for the week
exceed last years by 10 per cent, and fall
only Sc per cent below those of 1893,
while the daily average for May is 26.9 per
cent larger than last year, but IL per
cent less than in 1893"
