know-nothing attitude which has pre-
coded nearly all great consolidation
schemes in this city during the last
eight or ten years.

Gus churches. At night the farewell
services were held in the tent. The
audience was the largest of the occa-
sion, and Chaplain McCabe says the
largest ever held south of Mason and
Dixon's line The tent will hold $1,000,
but it could not hold the great throngS
which crowded to hear the services
After a number of appropriate mu-
steal selections, B. 2. Galloway took
the chair. There were three sermons

will contain the fifteen years contract

Tacoma. Wash, June 30--The Nor
wegian steamer Oscar II. which ar
rived today, eighteen days from Vlad-
livestock. Siberia. brings news that the
indica tons are good for an oriental
war.
Unknown to the outside world, Cap
tain r. Anderson, of the steamer, says
Russia has massed $4,000 men at Vlad-
livestock, and it is believed in Siberia
| that preparations are being made for
an advance on Japan. Captain An
derson says:
Russia has been secretly but &C
lively at work, and in the event of
trouble with Japan is prepared to
hurl formidable navy and land force
into the coveted territory which Japan
has wrested from China.
Decidedly WarIike.
These ships and troops have been
massed at Vladivostock, where the
scene is decidedly warlike. The en-

Russia is fully prepared for trouble in

for it.
Was Done in Secret.
The massing of these ships and
troops at VladivostOck has been done
secretly by Russia, unusual precau-
lions having been taken to prevent the
spread of any intelligence regarding
the actual force she has chartered
there. What Russia's designs are
cannot, of course, be told and are
purely conjectural. but it is clear that
if she builds a railway line south from
NladivostOck to the Yellow sea her in
tention is to obtain an open port and
hold it at all hazards
The whole country looks like war,

1t was intimated to Captain Ander-
son before he left that the government
would be pleased if he did not take
pains to spread his knowledge of the
operations at VladivOstock. but he did
not hesitate much this evening when
asked TO tell what he knew, as he
thinks the world is entitled to know
the facts.
The Oscar II carried TO Vladivostoclx
a cargo of cement used in construct
ing the trans-Siberian railroad. Can
tain Anderson says the construction OF

No side'Doors Tolerated in New
York Yesterday.
New York, June 30.-Since the in
auguration of Mayor Strong. it has
been almost impossible in many sec
lions of the city to procure liquor. The
climax of dry Sunday was reached
today, however. The police officials,
Saturday night, throughout the city,
warned the saloon-keepers that not
even side doors would be tolerated
today. Many of the liquor dealers
were frightened and made no attempt
to open their esta bliShments Those
who were daring enough to offend the
excise laws by selling liquor were gen
orally arrested without delay. Police
Commissioner Andrews, accompanied
by his wife, traversed Eighth avenue
tonight, peering through the windows
OF the saloons. vainly endeavoring to
find a place where liquor could be
purchased in violation of the law.
Commissioner Andrews is of the opin-
ion that today was the ''dryest" Sun
day ever experienced in New York

Denver. June 30.-The indications are
tlsat~the mass Democratic state conven-
ti1k 10 be held in this city Tuesday, July
>. will be a pretty lively gathering. The
suggestion for this convention came from
the Denver central committee, of which
ex-Alderman James S. McGilvray is chair
man. The argument was put forth that
the Democracy was in a hopeless minor
ity. and that there was not shadow CT
show TO win as long as the party was
bound By Cleveland. 1t was thought that
h. discussing the matter, some under
standing might be arrived at and some
declaration made that would give the
Democracy d fighting chance i'll some
parts OF the state at least. Some stormy
sessions of the state central committee
were held before the call for the conven-
Ation was issued. Chairman Frank Ar
nuckle who holds the position of receiver
of The United States land office, attempt
ed n vain to stem the tide of sentiment
in favor of holding a convention. Other
old time politicians experienced in party
affairs represented that it would be the
height OF folly to allow the rank ana HE
TO get d chance TO express in open con-
TcntiOn their opinion of the admlnlStra-
ton. All was to no purpose, however,
the younger men OF the party ana the
committee being of the opinion that the
party was in hopeless minority as long
as Cleveland and Carlisles financial pol

Under this pressure the call was issued

Sing Sing, June 90-'T do not propose

opinion as to the effect OF the papers of

Warden Sage was the speaker and he
was SO angry that his voice trembled
when he spoke to the group of reporters.
At the door leading from the drawing
room into the Office the face OF d woman,
anxious and troubled, appeared, and as
the warden made this emphatic state
ment she smiled and withdrew quickly
1t was Mrs. Buchanan and she had just
left her husband. Warden Sage made
the statement accredited TO him after
meeting his messenger whom he had sent
TO Albany, at the train.
Frank d. Burroughs, the messenger.
who has been in Albany for two DAYS
with copies of the papers served on the
warden and presented to the United
States court. returned at } O'Clock to-
night with word that the attorEsy-gen-
erals department at Albany declined to
give an opinion in the matter ether than
the verbal one that 1t would be all right
to proceed. Warden Sage sent him right
back to Albany to await written de-
ciSion.
The warden does not expect an opinion
or an answer from his telegram until to-
morrow and therefore it is reasonable TO
believe there will not be an execution
till Tuesday at the earliest.

Outrageous and Vile Attack Made

Outrageous and Vile Attack Made
Upon n Brother.
Philadelphia, June 3O.-The Press
will say tomorrow: Within the past
few days Philadelphia has been flooded
with copies of a letter, bearing a for
eign postmark, and containing a most
outrageous attack upon Governor
Hastings. 1t is learned that many
copies of this letter have also been
received in other parts of the state.
1t was written by Major William II.
Hastings, who left here last February
in a peculiar manner, leaving more
than suspicion in the minds of many
of his friends of an impaired mind
The letter is ostensibly addressed to
his brother, the governor, but which
he has apparently mailed TO everyone
whose name he could procure, makes
a demand for $23, 900 claimed to be
due him. The demand is accompan-
led by statements so vile and indecent,
that it would be impossible to put
them in print and are sufficient to
show the diseased condition of the
mind of the writer. Among other
things, the old Johnstown charges.

Most all the clubs have their own

which a fine view of the park and sur

New York, June 30.-Rev. John A. 3.
Wilson spoke today on The Liberia
ton Of Cuba and the Duty of Ameri-
can Patriotism" Among other things
he said it was a fitting time to speak
on patriotism. The example of our
liberty had a widespread effect, but
he declared our flag secured no more
respect by the Spanish in Cuba than
a dish rag. He declared it was a
duty of ours to liberate Cuba, and
uttered a protest against Consul Gen
eral Williams, declaring he should be
removed. He told an incident or two
of the cruelties of the Spanish to the
Cubans, and closed by appealing for
a Moses from Washington to lead the
Cubans out of bondage.

from the clutches of the maniac and
taken to his room. For the following
two days Wood seemed to be on the
road to recovery, but suffered a re-
lapse and died on the morning of
June 1S Damarell is emphatic in his
statement that there was no attempt
at concealment, but says the utmost
publicity was given to the affair.
However, it is true that the governor
was not informed of the tragedy IN
til after June 20. and then not until
he had read an account of the affair
in the papers. The dispatches con-
veyed the intelligence that the pa
tent had been killed on the spot and
at the time the attack,was made.
