DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE TALKS.
AN UNEXPECTED vALEDICTORY
FROM THE EX-COMMANDER.

He Denies the Charge That He Op-
posed All the Changes That Had
Been Proposed In Connection With
the Army-He Claims TO Have Led
in Making Any Changes That Tend
ed 10 Add to the efficiency of the
British Troops.
London, sept 2s.-The Duke of Cam
bridge. whose retirement as commander
in-chief Of the forces was recently an
nounced, and who was succeeded by Lord
Wolseley. made long speech at a lun-
cheon which was given in his honor
to-day in Edinburgh. He began his re-
marks by referring to the charge that
he had opposed all the changes that had
been suggested in connection with the
army. This charge he denied. maintains
ing that, on the contrary, he had always
led in making changes that tended to add
to the efficiency of the British troops. He
said he regretted to have seen latterly
that a strong notion existed that a member
of the royal family was not suited to the
chief command of the army. He held that
a royal person could be placed, without
considering his high degree, in any posi-
ton for which he might be found to be
fitted. He would not say that he was
particularly fit for the position he had
filed for thirty-nine years. He had filled
it as best he could and had got more than
his share of the criticism that always
fell to great public officials.
When a member of the royal family was
found fit for his position he continued,
the public ought TO be delighted to see
him so placed. If he had gone about for
thirty-nine years twirling his fingers and
smoking cigars in the streets of London
the people would not have thought much
Of him. lie could have gone on much
longer working at his post. but
it had been thought advisable
that others should follow him.
He only hoped that his successors would
sentiment toward their Office as
he experienced at that moment
He had been consoled by ! the
knowledge that he had done his duty in
such a way that the army and the whole
country mad been satisfied. A feature Of
the monarchical principle was that those
in the highest positions, besides doing
their duty TO the state, were bound to be
useful members Of society. In accordance
with this rule he had never neglected the
civil duties falling to person in his posi-
ton.
The Duke of Cambridge was frequently
interrupted by cheers during the delivery
of his speech, which has created a sensa-
tion as an unexpected and outspoken vale
dictory.

aa4sandon,..sep 2s.-The Yachting svorid,
in an article on the yachting situation,
says: ''The tiasco at New York seems to
have whetted cupidity for possession of
the cup to an extraordinary degree. Lord
Dunraven's yacht has not even started
homeward before another challenge is is
sued and accepted
This is certainly a matter for congrat-
ulation and stultihes in practical man

lsh yachtsmen over the last contest
Matches between English and American
clubs should be greatly encouraged as
such, but imbuing them with internation-
al Importance Is just as absurd as to seek

ands of Engiishmen at home and abroad

The Yachting World, commenting on
this note, says: Mr.. Moir, who is very
much in earnest, has been simply as

He has been inundated with offers to SUBJ
scribe sums ranging from ESQ to E1,000,

promised over 1900 FOR the purpose of

is to build boat on lines similar to
those of the Britannia, but with a larger

Baltimore. Nd. Sept 26.-The recent
trouble between the democrats, republi-
cans and reform league, caused by the
ejectment from the registration rooms
Of the watchers sent there in the inter-
est Of the republicans and reformers to-
dsys resulted In the presentation to Gov.
Brown Of a petition asking for the inn
mediate removal of President William
II. Bians and DR.. George H. Cairnes,
democratic members of the board of cleo
ton supervisors. They are accused of
gross misconduct" in using their offices
in the interest of the democratic ma,
chine and "fraudulently attempting to
escape from the liability Of their wiilful-
ly Illegal acts"
In conclusion the petition charges that
Bians and Cairns have all along been
misusing their powers for partisan pur-
poses, and IN view of the opportunity to
do further harm, as they have charge
of the whole election machinery of the
city their immediate dismissal is prayed
for.
The petition is signed by a committee
of the reform league. Gov. Brown will
investigate the charges, and if in his
opinion a public hearing ought to be had

DURRANTs HARD FIGHT.
An Effort to BE Made 10 Turn suspi-
cfon on the Minister,

San Francisco. Cal, Sept. 26.-The hand
writing Of Rev. George Gibson is destined
to play an important part in the great
trial of Theodore Durrant. In his open
ing statement Attorney Deuprey said that
the writing on the paper enclosing Blanche
Lamont's rings and that on a wrapper ad-
dressed to Mrs. Noble were similar TO the
penmanship OF the pastor of Emanuel
church. IN a very adroit way he cast sus-
picion on the minister, and the defense will
attempt TO prove his insinuation Justif-
The counsel for the defense say 1t will
take about ten days to put in their case,
unless the cross-examination is longer
than expected. Mr.. Dickinson announced
TINS morning that the defense would have
from forty-five to fifty witnesses.
When the case was called this morn
ing Sergt. Reynolds resumed the stand.
he described the pastors study, and said
he found among other things in the tool
box discovered there the chisel supposed

found on the door
The door was then brought into court
and examined by the jury. The marks
We're plainly visible. Three pairs of shoes
were also found in the study. One shoe
was taken away because 1t had a REQ
mark that looked like blood on the sole.
thought the three pairs belonged to the
same person, and an affirmative reply was
given.
Sergt Burke then took the stand and
testified that he and other officers ex-
amined the shoes for blood stains.
The district attorney here requested
that all the evidence respecting the shoes
be stricken out claiming that it was
only admissible in the Williams muir
der case. The defense objected, and the
court sustained the objection and the
evidence was allowed.
Detective Cody was the next witness.
He testified that on April is he searched
the church and found the tool box in the
pastors study. A claw hammer, which
was produced, was in the tool box, but no
chisel. The hammer was applied to one
to fit It.

signing OF the Men Conducted
with Great Secrecy.
Brooklyn, n. Y. Sept. 26.-An evening
paper says: In the attempt TO free Cuba
bv means of expeditions of men and
arms sent from this country, Brooklyn
has not been neglected. Within the past
two weeks the city has been the recruit
Ing ground for a most business-like and
determined effort to enlist men for the
patriotic cause.
During this time several agents of the
revolutionary party have been actively at
work in this city. Their field of opera
tUns has been along the water front
in the cheap boarding houses and saloons
frequented by Iongshoremen, stevedores
and sailors.
Their agents have been at work and
have used the utmost caution in their
Efforts. These have been of a roundabout
nature, and the enlisted men have been
given no information of the ultimate desti-
nation of the expedition. The facts come
from man who enlisted, but, discovering
the dangerous nature Of the enterprise,
backed out at the last minute.
From Brooklyn alone about 250 men
have been engaged. In most cases these
men are Germans. AS a rule they have
been longshoremen, sailors and stokers,
men used to hard work and to ships.
There is very little doubt but that this
enlistment, which has apparently Deen
successful, is intended for the armored
vessel which the Cuban revolutionists are
said to have now in England being fitted
out for an attack on Spanish commerce

among the government troops.
London Sept. 26.-The Spanish embas-
sy here has issued an official denial or
