ALTGELD'S NAME
Figures Extensively in the Special Re-
 versity of Illinois to the SenatA

Springfield, dll., June 2.-The special report of the committee to the senate appointed to investigate the charges of masa ppropriation of funds of the Undver- sly of Illinois by c. w. Spalding, treas urer of the university board, and presi- dent of the defunct Globe Savings bank, which will be submitted to the senate tomorrow, will create something of sensation, owing to the freedom with which ex-Gov A1tgeld's name is used in connection with the affair. The report declares that the ex-governor was heavy borrower of the failed bank, and lhsjt he must have known of its condi- Lion when he recommended President Spalding for treasurer of the university board, and that H. B. Prentice, formerly in charge of the banking department of the sltal.e auditors office, was removed alt Artgeld's request, after having insisted on a rigid examination of the Globe Savings banks affairs. The report in part Is as follows:
 ''The commi:,;ee fird that this bank was practically ineolvent in 1892, and that that fact must have been known to MT. Spalding and ito Gov. ADgeld.
 '"The commit .ee find that Gov. Altgeld at the time of his election as governor was bo-h a sibockholder and director in the bhnk, and as such should have been HIIn LNe cO1n11lIlltV DSlleNt was dCqudilbt- ed whh it's condition.
 "The committee also find that Gov. Alt geld was a very large borrower of the bank at the time Spalding was elected treasurer of the university and that he continued to be a large borrower from the bank during his entire term of office and that when the bank failed he was in debt to the bank very largely.
 'The committee further find that a considerable amount of Unity stock and of the Ogden Gas stock. belonging to Gov. Altgeld, was in tho bank as collateral securities at it's r A value; and the com- mittee find that the Unity stock was not worth to exceed 30 cents on the dollar and that the Ogden Gas stock, the com mittee find, had no commercial value.
 ..The committee believe that the cond- ton of the bank was known to Gov. Alt geld and that MT. Spalding was elected treasurer very largely for the express purpose of furnishing funds for this bank and for the purpose of loanng large sums of money to the governor and to persons connected with that bank and even to persons who are members of the board of trustees of the university"

THE QUEEN REGENT
Signed, the Decree of the Cortes, Then Accepted the Resignation of
 vufcu eae. the Ministry.

London, June 2.--The Madrid corrc- spondent of the Times says: The queen regent has accepted the resignation of the cabinet officers handed in by Senor Canovas del Castillo. It has caused a decided sensation. Before taking this step her majesty begged Senor Cano- vas to remain in office until the morrow in order that she might have another opportunity to consider the matter in council, but this only meant that the resignation would be accepted.
 Senor Canovas rendered his resignation because he could not again undertake to re-establish relations with the liber- als. He preferred to leave to the crown full liberty to decide as to the best so- lution. Both houses of the cortes voted without debate the financial supplies ne cessary to enable the cortes to adjourn sine die and granted authority for the issue of treasury bonds, and the contrac- ton of loans guaranteed by the Spanish treasury to cover the expenses of the wars. in Cuba and the Philippine islands with a special lien on revenues of Spain for the Cuban war loan.
 The queen regent then signed the de- cree suspendirg the sittings, whereupon Senor Canovas immediately rendered his rsignation. Yss s---4

OFFICER AND CREW
Arrested for Interfering With One of
 Uncle Sam's Officers I-s Their Defense.

Miami, Fla, June 2.-Capt. Sabal and his crew of five men of the steamer Bis cayne, which was bearded by Special In- spector of Customs Hambleton, off New river inlet, at o'clock Monday morning. while she was transferring arms, ammu- milton and coal to the Dauntless, were ar rested by United States Marshal Mckay tonight. Through their attorneys they waved examination and they were p'ac d under $10O bonds each for appearance be- fore United States Commissioner Eagan at Jacksonville on the 8th. They are charged with violation of section BIT of the revised statutes in unlawfully re- fusing to acknowledge the authority of the officer and forcibly obstructing him in the performance of his duty.
 The defense, it is understood, will be that Hambleton was asked to show his badge of authority or warrant for his attempt to board the boat with a cooked gun and to interfere with the exercise of the rights of the crew in legitimate traf- fic which he did not show; and that he was pettishly officious in the display of authority. It is said further that he was not molested by any of the Bis caynes crew and that If they had not in- terfered he would have been handled more severely by the Cubans aboard the Biscayne.

TURKISH TREACHERY
May Again Exert Itself and the War Agains, Greece Again Be Taken Up
 Constantine Will Stay at His Post.

London June 2.-The Turks have prom ised 10 sign the ext=nslon of the armls- tice at dawn today, and 1t is said that peace nego. .iations will begin promptly at Consta nidnople. King George, it is un- derstood, has yielded several points wD.h a view of hastening the negotiations and of bringing a bout the Turkish evacuation of Thessaly In Lhis matter it is said the Russian government has promised to support Greece.
 The Turkish military commission com tinues to hold long sittings at the Yildiz Kiosk, and it is very evident that the general impression in Constantinople is that the peace negotiations will collapse and that the war will be renewed
 The plan of sending Crown Prince Con- stantine to London has been abandoned, as the trip might be interpreted either as a desertion of his post in time of dan ger or as a removal from She chief com mand and consequently a disgrace. The likelihood is that Prince. Nicholas will go in his stead. Bo.h King George and the crown prince have offered to forego e portion of the civil list, in view of the strengthened finances of the courItry.

Between 5000 and 5000 people assem- i bled at Lake View yesterday afternoon and evening to participate in the sum- mer night festival of the Birmingham Deutcher Turn Verain.
 To say that success crowned the efforts of the Standardization citizens com prisirg that we'll known organization, would but be mildly expressing it. There was not one in the entire assemblage which occupied every available spot of vantage on the hills and in the hollow at Lake View, who failed to enjojy the events. of the evening.
 The programme, as already printed in these columns, was carried out in its entirety and each and every event was a success
 The afternoon concert by Gramb's band was greatly enjoyed as was the concert in the pavilion, which was happily car ried out, much to the enjoyment of all present.
 Then came the flreworksk. They were simply superb and very fine selection. For a time the entire vale and hill sides were illuminated by the bright glare of hissing, sky scraping rockets, explod- ing bombs, gorgeous roman candles, set pieces and red, white and blue lights. Never before in the history of Birming- ham has there been such Q display. Many present declaring the fireworks far su- perior to these exhibited by Payne.
 This feature alone was worth travelling miles to sec and although the concert was a little lengthy, the people waited pa tiently for the fine sight presented.
 The aftermath was a grand ball and at a late hour this morning the sweet strains of Home, Sweet Home" bade all repair to their homes, having en- joyed the Hospitality of the Deutcher Turn Nerein hugely.
