 Loaded

 London, June S.-In the house of com- mons today Rt. Hon. George N. Curzon, parliamentary secretary to the foreign office, stated that the British consul in the island of Crete had been directed by the government to act conjointly with the other foreign representatives in ne- gotiations with the Turkish authorities toward the conclusion of a peaceful set clement of the differences between the Cretan rebels and the Turks. MT. Curzon added that repeated representations had been made to the porte impressing upon the Turkish government sense or the danger of serious trouble in Crete unless effective measures to pacify the Cretahs should be adopted.
 Rt Hon. Gerald Balfour moved the second reading of the Irish land bill.
 MT Timothy M. Healy, in the course Of the debate on the Irish land bill, approV- ed part of the measure, which ne saio ought to be referred to grand com mittee. The bill, MT. Healy said, might be made beneficial, but it did not bear the stamp of flnality. If the bill was in tended to get rid of the land question in the future, he continued, the government was greatly mistaken.
 Mir John Morley said that there was not the slightest chance that the bill would pass this session unless It was sent to a grand committee to be amended.
 MT. John Redmond demanded that the government declare whether or not they Intended to pass the bill. The ministry, he said, admitted the great importance of the bill and promised to carry it through speedily, yet they had placed trlViai measures in front of it to obstruct it's passage.

A Large Number of Politicians Who Go to
 St Louis.


 St. Louis, June 8.-The committee on contested seats to the republican national convention will have problems to solve from fifteen states and one territory. Ex- Congressman Thompson of Ohio, having in charge the contests of Mckinley dele gates from various states, is confident that the committee will recognize the claims of the McKinleyites as the regu- larly elected delegates.
 Whatever sleep a large number of pol iticians are to get during their conven- ton sojourn here will be enjoyed In the railroad cars which bring them to the city. Arrangements have been made by the Terminal Railroad association to store 800 passenger cars at dlHereht places in St. Louis during the latter part of this and all of next week. More than 200 of these coaches, all sleepers, will be converted into temporary hotels. Spaces are being reserved for them, and positions conducive to comfort and convenience have been selected. It has been decided by the Terminal association to allow each of its tenant lines storage Of ten occupied sleeping cars.
 This arrangement will provide lodging places for at least 10000 persons within five minutes walk of the convention hali.

ARTHUR PADBLFORD IS DEAD. The Event Recalls the Mad Escapades ol
 His Former Wife.

Baltimore, June 8.-A private dispatch received here last night announced the death in Paris of Arthur Padelford. No particulars regarding his demise are in- cluded in the cablegram.
 Padelford was native of Savannah, Ga, but was better known in many other cities than that of his birth. After g careful collegiate education he went abroad and after his return spent some time in Providence, R. l., New York, Washington and Baltimore. In the latter city he was a member of the leading clubs and prominent in every social func- ton of note. He was very wealthy and lavish spender.
 About eight years ago Padelford mar ried Miss Bettina Ordway, daughter of General Ordway of Washington, very beautiful and dashing young woman. The report that General Ordway forced the marriage at the muZzle of revolver gave the ceremony unusual notorety. The honeymoon was spent abroad, and while in Paris a daughter was born to the couple. The christening was most pompous affair and duke of the old re- gime stood as godfather for the child.
 Shortly after that MT. and Mrs. Padel- ford returned to this country and for couple of seasons the young wife was belle at White Sulphur Springs, in Vir- ginia. During one of the gay summer evenings the young wife gained rather
 
 of champagne in her slipper and daring one of her admirers to drink it. The young gallant took the dare. and for a long time Mrs. Padelford's experience was the talk of the society people of Bal timore and Washington. Not long after this Padeford secured divorce. The woman was destined to become more widely known than her millionaire ex- husband. She decided to go on the stage. and 1t is said Padelford paid her s20,O00 to drop his name. Taking the name of Bettina Girard. she made her debut in the Princess of Trebizonde." She al- most immediately married John J. Ra- fael, a comic opera tenor, from whom she obtained divorce. She later on married an actor named Harrison J. Wolfe. This contract lasted two weeks, and again she was divorced. She Is now singing in a New York music hall.
 After securing his divorce Padelford spent two years in New York and then went abroad. While in Europe he met Miss Edythe Scott Grant and married her about year and half ago. The honeymoon was spent on the Riviera and for the past few months Mir. and Mrs. Padelford have lived in Paris.

STORIES OF HIS CRUELTY
SOLE cRlMFslNsHIP TO REBEL LEADER

Havana. June 6, via Tampa, Fla, June S.-That the work of extermination of non-combatants or "paciflcos," as they are styled here, continues to greater or less extent is evidenced by the reports which are received from the country. Not day passes without some shocking story is told of brutal assassinations com mtted by the troops on defenseless peo- pie, whose sole crime is being witnesses of the war raging all over the island without taking any part in It.
 Here are few facts selected from the many that are told:
 On the 2d instant a column of Spanish troops commanded by Colonel Ochoa, operating around Jaruco, Havana prov ince, captured poor, miserable boy of 15 years of age named Juan Dodriguez, suffering from nervous prostration and so weak that he could hardly move with out assistance. This unhappy creature was dragged from his home, @ little farm near Casigua, and, without any compassion for his pitiable state, he was butchered on the roadway to Tapaste for the sole crime of being a cousin of lead- CT in rebel army named Victor Simon.
 On June 1 Simon Yruri, member of one of the best families of Jaruco, was arrested on suspicion of being a rebel sympathizer by order of General Mel guizo. He was too well known to be ta- ken out of the town and shot in the fields, as this would create scandal, so they made a semblance of a court-mar- tial, and, with all the apparent formali- ties of. the law, he was publicly shot in the square of the town. The deed cre- ated general indignation when it was known that Melguizo had ordered the execution on his own authority without consulting the captain general, who iS the only one empowered to order such proceedings.
 On June last MT. Lorenzo Medina, q native of the Canary islands, 40 years of age and cattle dealer of some meansl and Juan Toledo, a Cuban of 30 years and owner of cart shop, both well known and esteenied in the town of Jaru- They were lodged In the civil guards bar racks, and the next morning they were taken out of the town under pf6pisa of prompt release and trsacherously shot behind the slaughter house.
 It is known that Valencia had fight with Colonel Fondevelia of Campo Flori- do fame in which this brave" was com- pletely routed, losing thirty-tWo dead lett on the field.
 This has never been reported officially.
 The Bayamo Guerrillas, about 100 men, commanded by Gambi Guerra, have joined the rebels, seduced by Callxto Car cia when he passed near that place last week.
 In Sancti Spiritus band of musicians of the local volunteers, headed by its band master, Mr. Justo Alvarez, with all the instruments of the band also went over to the woods to enliven the time for the boys"

At Montgomery.

Montgomery, June 8.-The game be- tween Montgomery and Atlanta was giv- en to Montgomery today for Atlanta's re- fusal to play. Knowles began his usual senseless wrangling with the umpire in the first inning and ended the game with it in the last half of the third inning. The score stood 3 to in favor of Montgom- cry. Walker was on third, with one man out, when Knowles hit fly to left field. Walker started home a little too soon. Meara caught the ball and fielded it to third and Mcfarland called Walker out. Knowles then called his men off the field and left the grounds, and the game was given to Montgomery. The play was too plain to admit of dispute, as was seen by everybody on the grounds.

The Mobilians played slow and indifferent game throughout Their errors cost them one or more runs each. They also got little the worst of it in Days decisions.
