THE WILSON'S.
Refusal to Surrender Them at New City
 Their Trial.

Nyack, N. Y., June 2.-Chief McClus- ky and Detective Armstrong of New York arrived in Nyack this afternoon from New City whither they had gone this morning to see Sheriff Blauvelt to secure, if possible, the transfer of the prisoners, Wilson and wife, from the Rockland county jail to New York The sheriff refused to surrender the prisoners.
 County Judge Wheeler this afternoon assigned the Hon. A. $. Tompkins, a member of congress of this district, to assist District Attorney Wyre in the trial of the Wilson's, accused of kid mapping Marion Clark. The district at- torney and Lawyer Tompkins gave as their reason for opposing the transfre of the place of trial from Rockland county to New York the fact that they have no proof that the prisoners com mitted the crime in New York, but they do know that they committed the crime in the county. They assert that the woman had the kidnapped child by her when arrested. They say they have no proof that the prisoners arrest ed yesterday were the guilty ones in the city, hence they will not allow the pris- oners to be taken out of this county as they fear the law would not allow them to do it. Jennie Wilson is we'll known in the western part of this coun ty. She had charge of small weekly newspaper published at Suffern, in the western part of this county. During her connection with the paper she liv- ed at Sloatsburg and made frequent trips on the search of news to within five or six miles of Nyack.
 District Attorney Wyre tonight or dered Justice Herbert of Garnerville to issue subpoenaes for the witnesses in the examination of the Wilson's on Mon- day. Arthur Clark, father of the ab- ducted child, and Chief McCluskey, of the detective bureau, will be among those subpoenaed.

 lesin, from New York on May 2 for Copenhagen with a general cargo, which went ashore yesterday at Fresh-water Point, several miles west of Cape Race, and became total wreck, arrived here this evening. They say the ship will hold together probably for several days yet, and the salvers are busilv engaged i'll getting out as much of the cargo as is possible. All that is above the lower decks will be saved undamaged, while the heavier goods-tierces of pork, hams and the like-stowed lower down. will not suffer much from the immer- sion and in all likelihood will be got out before the wreck goes to pieces.

HANNA'S MAN WON.
Judge Nash Nominated for Governor of
 Ohio--McKinIey Endorsed.

Columbus, O., June 1.-The republican state convention to-day nominated Judge George K, Nash, the favorite of Senator Hanna, for governor and Nex- Congressman John A. Caldwell, the favorite of George B. Cox, for lieuten- ant governor, with the other five nomi- nations distributed among those of less distinct party affiliations What was generally called the Hanna-Cox combi- nation controlled large majority of the S13 delegates, but it did not exer- else it's power beyond the nominations of Nash and Caldwell. The conference at which Senator Hanna MT. Cox and others reached a mutually satisfactory agreement did not conclude until 9 a. m., an hour before the convention as- sembled. It was over then with MT. Dougherty and other candidates. Out side of the usually animated contests for the nominations the feature of the convention was it's universal endorse ment of President Mckinley. When the plank in the platform commend ing the president for the judicious mod ifications of the civil service rules, re- gently promulgated" was read there was a very enthusiastic demonstration.

BRYAN CoNTINUEs TO TALK.
Addresses nn Immense Audience in
 Louisville on Money Question.

Louisville June 2.-The formal visit of William Jennings Bryan to Louis vile under the auspices of the Ohio Valley Bimetallic league was reserved for to-day, though he was present here Wednesday night at the banquet to Judge Tarvin given by the Young Mems Democratic club. MT. Bryan left Nam
 moth Cave early this morning and was
 met at Glasgow Junction by local re-
 ception committee They were received
 at Union station by an escort under the
 charge of Chief Marshal John l.. Dunlap
 and a tremendous crowd. MT. Bryan
 held a reception for half an hour in the
 parlors of the hotel, where he shook
 hands with hundreds of citizens. After
 luncheon he was driven to the Audito-
 rum, where he spoke to an immense au-
 dience. He said in part:
 "The democratic party adopted at
 Chicago platform which applied dem-
 ocratic principles to the conditions then
 existing. The conditions existing to-
 day require the application of the same
 principles. No question brought to the attention of the people by the last cam
 paign has been settled. The republican party did not declare the existing gold standard satisfactorily, but declared that it should be continued until foreign nations would join in International bi- metallism. The republican president elected in the last campaign sought to carry out the platform promises by cGroliOcr ice tn E'iIrOna tO cure international bimetallism. These commissioners failed to secure interna- tional cooperation. The republican party in the next campaign must de- clare either for the gold standard or for the restoration of bimetallism. If 1t declares for the gold standard it must defend the principle of gold monomet- allism, which it refused to defend in 1S96 If it declares for blmetallism it must either favor independent bimetal- lsm, as the democratic party did in the campaign of 1896, or must make another attempt to delude the people by the promise of foreign exchalG,.
 "The Ohio Valley Bimetallist league, which is holding its third annual con- vention in this city, has adopted reso- lutions declaring that the contest for bmetallism at the ratio of 16 to l must be continued. I am in hearty sympathy with this determina- 1 tion The demand for the restoration | of blmetallism does not mean that there | are no other issues before the people, | but it means that this issue cannot be | laid aside or surrendered until the finan- cial policy of the American people is by the American people without waiting for aid or consent from other nations"

A CONFESSION BY ESTERHAZY
LONDON CHRONICLE HAS SIGNED
 STATEMENT FROM HIM.
Says He Wrote the Borderenu Upon Orders From Sandherr-Itnpiicatcs Chiefs of the French General Staff Says They WilI Lie but He Will Pro- duce Proofs.
duce Proofs

| London, June 3.-The Daily Chroni- cle says that Major Comte Ferdinand 1 Walsh Esterhazy called at its office late last evening (Friday) with con- fdential friend, and after declaring | that the time had arrived when the whole truth should be told, although | hitherto by reason of constant orders and inducements he had kept silence on the essential point, made the following statement:
 "The chief of the army has disgrace fully abandoned me. My cup is full and I shall speak out. Yes, (raising his voice and glaring arounD, 1t was I who wrote the bordereau. I wrote it upon orders received from Sandherr."
 Esterhazy, the Chronicle says, then proceeded to explain that for months before 1893 moral proofs had been ob- tained of leakages which were only possible through an officer belonging to the ministry of war, and it was neces- sary to catch the guilty party by ma terial evidence, hence the bordereau.
 When asked what the chiefs of the French general staff would say to this confession, Esterhazy shrugged his shoulders, and disdainfuly replied: "They will lie as they know how to lie; but I have them tight. I have proofs that they know the whole thing and share the responsibility with me, and I will produce the proofs"
 He then denounced the chiefs as a 'set of scoundrels who have abandoned me disgracefully," and added but at one time they used to come to thank Madame Pays for her assistance" Es- terhazy asserted that quite recently the Chiefs sent M. Laguerre, a former depu- ty to London with seductive offers to him to keep silence. Now they are using threats" he shouted; but I will not be deterred" The Daily Chronicle got Esterhazy to sign the notes of the interYiew.

DIYoS DEEEiTs BERNSTEIN.
Set Killing Pace-Bernstcfn Put Up
 Good Fight.

New York, June 2.-George Dixon,
 champion featherweight, again proved
 his superiority tonight in his class as a
 pugiist after fighting twenty-five very fast rounds with Joe Bernstein of this city before the New Broadway Athletic club. There was an immense throng
 present and standing room was at a premium. The boxers met a l24 pounds according to agreement, but Bernstein had easily the advantage of five pounds in weight.
 In the opening round Dixon was the aggressor and there was some very hard infghting, both working on the body In the second round Dixop put it all oyer his opponent, but towards the close Bernstein landed a hard left on the eolored boys ear, bleeding it. In the third a straight left from Bern stein opened an old sore over Dixon's left eye and the negro bled freely. His handlers stopped the flow of blood be- fore Dixon came up for the fourth round. Bernstein duched into a mighty left which puffed his face badly, but the east slider came back pluckily, sending a straight left to the head. From this to the end of the twenty-fifth round Bernstein remained on the defensive, jabbing his left to face and body and occasionally trying his right to ribs and head. Dixon forced matters at a kill" ing pace and forced Bernstein to use his right for blocking purposes in variably. At close quarters DiXon's right played merry tattoo on Bernstein's ribs and over the kidneys. Occasionally Bern- stein tried to ward his opponents dou- ble blows with his right, but only once landed during the fight. Dixon proved conclusively that he was the best ring general However, there was dissatis- faction expressed by the partisans of Bernstein when the referee awarded the fight to the colored champion at the end of the twenty round.
 In the opening bout Kid Thomas and Sam Bolan, both of this city came to- gether at catchweights. Thomas threw Bolan to the floor and the referee awarded the fight to the latter on foul l Fife Walcott, who claimed to be a brother of the Barbado negro, defeated l Andy Cuneo, an Italian.

To those who saw her after her insane act the woman said she had known that she must do the thing, for several days, and that the day was actually set some time ago. It was, she said, her atonement for sin and she had to do it.

LA GASCOGNE .DELA TED.
Three Propeller Blades Loose- Repairs
 AbsO1mtcly Necessnry.

New York, June 2.-The French line steamship LaGascogne, which was ex- pected to leave for Havre, with passen- gers and mails tomorrow, will not sail for France until next Monday. While testing the machinery of the vessel to- day it was found that three blades of the propeller were loose and that re- pairs were absolutely necessary before the steamship could gO to sea. A move able cofferdam was put around the stern of LaGascogne and mechanics were at once employed to make repairs. It was lucky that the discovery of the loose blades was made before the boat got to sea. The loosening of the blades was probably caused by the screw com ing in contact with water-logged wreck age on the last voyage.

ISLANDS CEDED TO GERMANY
GROUPS IN THE PACIFIC.
Queen Regent of Spain Makes the An- nouncement in Speech from the Throne on Reopening of the Cortes-- Sagasta's Cabinet Signed the Conven- ton With the German Emperor.

Madrid, June 2.-The queen regent, to- day, opened the cortes with the usual ceremonial and in the speech from the throne announced that the Marriano, Cor Ladrone), Caroline and Palao isl ands were ceded to Germany by the late Spanish cabinet During the course of the speech her majesty said: At the opening of the cortes all the sor- rows which have wrenched our hearts, through the disasters which have visit ed our country, are reaWakened We must preserve sadness in order to de- rive experience therefrom, but the woes of our country are of such nature that reticence and silence avail better than complaints.
 "When peace with the United States was concluded parliamentary troubles caused a change of cabinet and the present cabinet was formed. Under the constitution it belonged to me to ratify the treaty by laying it before the chamber. There remained under our control the Carolines Palaos and most of the Mariana islan9s. But the former cabinet believed it useless for Spain to retain such minor appendages of our an cient empire and signed with the Ger man emperor a convention offering to cede these territories under the law. which will be submitted immediately to the chamber. Our foreign relations arc cordial and friendly. We specially owe to the pope recognition of the many times he has given us his moral SUD- port.
 "The most important most urgent and most difficult task before you is to balance the budget and liquidate the debts resulting from the war through ordinary and permanent sources of in- come. Thanks to the severely economic policy projected, the government will not ask fresh sacrifices of the country, except such as can be equitably divided among all classes. With the ordinary budget will also be presented schemes to liquidate the charges created by the loss of possessions and colonial cam paigns."
 The queen regent then referred to the financial measures and expressed confi- dence that the nation would show the resignation during peace as it showed during the war, adding: "For the times are critical and it is impossible during the present sessions to do all that is necessary. But during the next session there will be projects for the reorganf- zaton of the army and navy, based on obligatory services, for improving the public services; decentralizing the pro- vincial and municipal administrations and reforming the penal code and cleo toral laws" etc., etc.

NEVIS FROM HIVdN4.
Cuban Officers Demand $5 for Identify-
 ing Each Cuban Soldier.

Havana, June 2.-There is much con- ment here over tn fact that Cuban off, ficers have been demanding $5 as con1- pensation for identifying Cubans who have been applicants for the $75 allowed by the United States authorities to for mer soldiers of the Cuban army who surrender their arms. A majority of the Cubans here do not believe the statement, thinking the story was pre- pared to injure them in public esteem, but facts prove the story to be true. Great interest is manifested among alE classes in to-morrow's races, which bid fair to be very successful. Soldiers and sailors in uniform will be admitted free, also they will be we'll represented. Gen. eral Wilson left here this morning for Matanzas, General Wood leaves to-mor- row for Santiago de Cuba, and General Carpenter will leave Havana on Tues- { day for Puerto Principe.
