THROUGH HIS HAT.
EX-AMBAsSAD0R BAYARD TALKS
IN THAT MANNER.
Saws Cleveland Is The Leader Of Demo
cracy And Should Be President
In 1900.

New York, April ga dispatch TO
the Journal from London, says:
Ex-Ambassador Bayard was much
interested in the report of the reform
club dinner in New York and EXPIRES
ident Cleveland's speech. When asked
for his views with regard to Mr.. Cleve-
land for president in 1890, he said:
Il have not seen Mr.. Cleveland for
four years and as 1 expect to see him
in a few weeks, l will be able to ans
wer the question better then.
so far as my own preference goes,
however, and my regard for the well
fare of the United States is concerned,
l should rejoice to see Mr.. Cleveland
again in the presidential chair. My
personal regard for him leads me to
hope though, that he will retire from
public life.
Il believe that in the future the peo-
pie will look back upon the four years
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration as
one of the most momentous periods in
our history and will realize that the
part the president played during these
four years was fraught with more of
good to the country at large than that
of any other of our chief executives.
Mr.. Cleveland is the local leader of
the Democracy, and before the pres
ent administration is concluded 1 be-
lieve that almost the unanimous voice
of the people will call upon him again
to take the rains of the government.
Il am an older man than Mr.. Cleve-
land and have been longer in public
life and my advice to any public SER
want who has borne so much more
than his share of the peoples burdens
and borne it with such magnificent
courage as Mr.. Cleveland has, would
be to lay it down when he can do so,
assured that the part he has played
will insure for him the everlasting
gratitude of his countrymen.
Nevertheless if, as is entirely prob
able, there is no leader so capable as
Mr.. Cleveland to take the helm in 1900
1 would be one Of the first to ask him
to enter again upon the arduous task"

WILLIAMS SCHEME.

Wants to Affect an Alliance Between
Germany, France and Belgium.
New York, April ga dispatch to
the Journal from London says the
Daily Mails Berlin correspondent tel
egraphs:
Somewhat serious news of the
threatened European combination
against England is now current here.
Emperor William is reported to have
a detailed plan by which the inter-
ests of Germany France and Belgium
in the Transvaal are to be protected
against English intrigue and arms.
THE St. Petersburg correspondent
of the Tagblatt affirms that France
has agreed to the emperor's scheme
and it is further said that Russia court
circles are extremely embittered
against England. This is attributed
to the dowager czarina having accused
England of being the cause of Greece
going to war.
The German naval department has
ordered that all work in the shipyards
be expediated and in some yards work
is being carried on day and night. One
cruiser will be ready in a few weeks
and the other vessels by autumn. AL
together there are nineteen now in
course Of construction"

They Think The Campaign Is Not

day - All Ended
Quietly.

New York, April "a dispatch to
the Journal from Athens says:
The situation here is growing more
serious every hour as the people come
to realize the truth and position in
which the want of craftsmanship and
generalship has left the country. The
feeling of uncomfortable indignation
develops since the departure of the
forces to the frontier. Athens and
Eprius are filed with the Bourgeois
unable to carry arms and many mem
bers of the lower classes, are to a GER
tain extent the rabble from every part
of the Turkish empire.
The people naturally cause any
amount of mischief and if armed with
leaders, can go to all eXtremities.
Yesterday morning news spread That
a demonstration had been planned
against the king. The people throng-
ed the streets and discussed the news.
Volunteers or would-be volunteers
in the afternoon entered two ships in
the Rue ermes and took all the fire
arms and ammunition, under the pre-
| text that the government refused
them arms. They would have easily
degenerated into wholesale plundering
of shops if the good sense of the in
habitants had not found a mouth
piece in Ralli, leader of the opposi-
| ton.
He Immediately, on learning of the
disorder. came to the spot and address,
ed the crowd His speech made tel
ling effect. You are mad" was the
burden of what he said. why, when
Greece is surrounded by difficulties
and the Powers try to discredit the
nation who can think of creating dis
turbances in the streets? You say
YOU want arms. Let your conduct
show YOU are worthy of becoming SOL
diers."
Order was restored, and it may be
truly said that Ralli was the hero OF
the day and saved the town from a ri
| OF.
A crowd afterward went to the pal
| ace shouting and kissing. The guard
had been doubled. The people COL
lected before the palace and popular
orators addressed them.
The noisy demonstrations OF the uay
which it was thought might mark the
end of the dynasty ended quite peace

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Saloon Man Shot Down Because He
Defended His Money.


Chicago, April 29.-Emile Sollars, a
saloon keeper at 109 Wells street was
shot and instantly killed just before
midnight last night by one of three
men who entered the saloon for the
purpose of robbing him. Twenty men
were in the saloon at the time drink
ing, but none of them made any effort
to capture the robbers or offer resist
ence and the murderer and his COM
panions escaped. Sollars was shot
down without moments warning
and as he had offered no resistance to
the men it was first thought the shoot
ing was the result of a grudge or pre-
vious quarrel. Later it was learned
that the men entered the place for the
purpose of robbery and the robbers
who was evidently to have gone be-
hind the bar to the cash register find
ing that Sollars intended to offer re-
sistence drew his revolver and fired
at the saloon keepers head. The bull
let entered Sollars right eye and pierre
ed his brain and the victim died with
out speaking word.
The police were notified within five
minutes after the murder but when
they arrived all was in confusion and
the would-be robbers and murderers
had made good their escape.
