Managers of the Monument Fund In
Difference so Public Sentiment.
SAN Francisco, May l6.-The mana
gers uf the Grant monument fund
have decided that the Golden Gate
park statue of Gen. Grant, the great
leader of the Union armies, shall rest
on pedestal of granite carved by free
men.
The authentic intelligence published
ON Wednesday to the effect that the
pedestal of the monument had been
quarried and dressed by the convicts
of Folsom state prison created wide
spread comment and evoked many ex-
presSions of regret that the managers
of the monument fund had not en-
ploved the labor of free and honest
wurkingmen in the enterprise. The
more the subject was discussed the
stronger became the conviction that
the prisou-carved material should be
re- ejected and other granite substituted
Accordingly, on Wednesday evening,
ii was decided to cast the prison stone
aside and put in other material. In
pursuance of this decision orders were
given at the park to remove the objec-
tionable granite base from the site
and to abandon work at Folsom on the
stone coping designed to surround the
monument plot. This course on the
part of the monument association will

M'KlNLEY ON WASHINGTON.
An Address Which Called Forth Plenty o.
Enthusiasm from His Hearers

CLEVELAND, O., May ls.-Before 2
vast audience of 5000, including the
delegates to the Methodist conference,
Maj. William Mckinley delivered an
address on Washington in Central
armory Saturday night. There was
plenty of applause and enthusiasm be-
fore, during and after the address.
Mr.. Mckinley, who was introduced
by Horace Benton, of this city, said,
among other things:
1t took seven years, my country
men, to make the declaration of indie
pendence seem more than the idle
words of a few restless leaders, but we
can well pause to render thanks to
Almighty God for the singular manner
in which he has preserved from that
day the government which now exists
on earth for his glory and our ad-
vancement.
''Jefferson's clause against slavery
was stricken from the original draft.
1t is doubtful if the draft could have
been adopted without this elimination.
1t was the best, it was all that could
de done at that time. What jefferson
attempted to write in the constitution
of our country, Abraham Lincoln
afterwards wrote in blood"
The speaker devoted special atten-
tion to the period Immediately after
the close of the revolutionary war and
before the adoption of the constitu-
tiOn, telling of the causes and conse-
uuences of the widespread popular dis
content and the effort which was re-
quired from Washington to prevent
the army from placing him at the head
of a stronger government"
References were made to the fact
that in the constitutional convention
at Philadelphia, Washington made
but one speech. That was in favor OF
an increased representation Of the
people in the house of representatives

a CABlEGRAM;
Which Would Indicate That the Bermuda
Made Eluke.

WASHINGTON, May l6. A cablegram
from the Spanish consul at TruXillO,
Honduras, to Minister Dupuy de LONE
confirms the failure of the Bermuda to
land her arms and men in Cuba on her
last trip. The consul says on the ar
rival of the Bermuda in Truxillo the
captain declared at the customs house
that he had the following men: Twen-
ty-seven in crew, II passengers and 10
tons of coal. Subsequently he admit
ted having on board 30 ''wOrkmen,"
making a total of IS men. The au-
thorities found the hold apparently
full of coal, which made it impossible
for them to search for the alleged
arms, which, if on board, were covered
up by the coal. Without waiting for
permit, the Bermuda left port and
landed 60 men 30 miles down the coast,
and then proceeded to Puerto COrtez.

Bishop Thomas Bowman, of the

Episcopal general conference in ses-
sion at Cleveland, O. This action was
due to a disposition on the part of the

which increasing age makes so ardu-
Gus. His retirement carries with it
full pay, with all honors due to the
exalted position.
