THE MEREDITH MURDER.
Evidence Accommodating that it Was Unprovoked, CovvardIy and
 Brutal.

Seattle, Wash, June 29.-New light is thrown on the Meredith murder case by investigation which has been proceeding since the event It has transpired that Meredith left his home on the afternoon of the murder with the intention of cleaning up his room ill the police station and trans ferring his personal possessions to his home. He had packed up the articles belonging to him, among which was the shotgun with which he fired at Considine.
 About five minutes before the shoot ing occurred Mere dith was seen at the corner of Jesler way and Second ave- nue. The eX-chief had his arms full of packages at this time.
 It has also developed that the Con- sidine brothers were walking about in the neighborhood of the drug store for some time before the shoot ing, and appeared to be looking for some one. The latest developments point to the snpposition that the Con- sidines found Meredith on his way home and provoked him to the shoot ing.

IT IS VIOLATION OF LAW.
But the Authorities Have No Power to Punish or Restrain it-A
 Queer Ruling.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 29.-Sunday closing advocates yesterday received a knockout blow in a ruling handed down by Judge John W. Henry, of the circuit court. Judge Henry decided that the board of police commission CTS has no right to revoke a saloon license unless it is shown that the place is disorderly house within the meaning of tbe law.
 "The selling of one, two or dozen drinks of whisky on Snnday,' said Judge Henry, 'does net necessarily mean that a man is running a disor- derly house, although it is a gross violation of the law. The court has no mandanus power 10 review the acts of the board of police commis- sioners."
 The point of issue was to compel the police commissioners 10 revoke the li- cense of saloonkecpers who had been convicted in the police court for sell ing on Sunday against the orders of the mayor and the board.

THE DEED OF A DtSPERALO.
Kills two Of Party of Would-Be LyHchers, Escapes and Is
 Recaptured.

Panther, W. Va, June 29.-The att tempt of a mob to lynch a negro, yes terday, at Jager, five miles south of here, resulted in the killing of two of the would-be lynchers. The negro, Peter Price, was accused of insulting a white woman. He was pursued by a crowd of men, and sought refuge in a small room in the rear of sa- loon. The mob battered down the door, and as they entered the room Price threw himself at them with the ferocity of tiger, with a knife in each hand. In cutting his way out he killed George Hooks and F. M. Nc Gran and seriously cut Charles Davis.
 As Price struck down these men the others fell back, and the negro made his escape through an open window
 Several members of the mob brought revolvers into play, but they succeeded in inflicting only two slight flesh wounds. Price was pursued and captured by officers, who hurriedly sent him to the jail at Welch to avoid the vengeance of the enraged popu- lace. Hooks and McGran were both well-known citizens.

THE BIRDS PARADISE.
Curious Species anI Interesting Habits on . Mid-Pncific
 IsIand.

One can scarcely step anywhere on the little mid-Pacific island of Lay San without treading on a bird or birds nest, and countless thousands of albatrosses breed here in great colonies. Of the albatrosses on Lay San there are two kinds-the brown and the white, says writer in Pear sons Magazine. The two species, of which the white are far the common CT, always keep apart from each oth- CT, the dark albatrosses breeding away from the others on the south side of the island. The brown birds are dark, sooty color all over. The beautiful white albatrosses are pure white beneath, with blackish brown wings and white heads, having only 8 little black patch in front of the eyes. They measure over 30 inches in length, with wings each Is inches long, bill four inches and a claw four inches. Two albino albatrosses-pure white all over-have been seen, but were evil dently quite exceptional. The alba tross' nest is merely a lump of earth, with hole in the middle. Each moth CT bird lays but one egg, and this is placed in the hole, point downward. The young birds, as they air them selves on the beach, are fed by both loving parents. Their diet is fish. The parent bird brings home the fish in his capacious maw. At meal times the offspring puts his little beak cross- wise into his parents, who then clev- erly produces the fish from his nat ural fish basket.
 It is curious that though in many places on Lay-San alba atrosses stand a $ closely together as there is room for the neighboring French Frigate shoals. Wondrous powers of wing are possessed by these great birds. For days they will sail through the air, with hardly a futter of the wings, merely swaying themselves from side to side, with pinions outspread. Any one who has voyaged through the southern seas is familiar with the ex- traordinary determination with which albatrosses follow ships for the sake of food. They are voracious gluttons. A colony of albatrosses, all engaged in love making, is one of the most curious sights a traveller can hope to see. Two birds come face to face on Lay-Sanss sunny shore. Each mods and bows to the other, then, with whistling cry of pleasure and greet ing, the two rub their bills together. Then they shake hands and snap their bills with marvellous rapidity, walking around each other for 15 minutes at a time.

NAcT DAY NOT YET DETERMINED UPON.
NbR Proclamation Made With Ali the Awnfnt and Medieval Scenes Which Marked the ProclniminR of King Edward EIFs Accession to the Throne.

SondoN, June c9.--The royal proc .hnnatlcn announcing that the corona Ts@n of King Edward is to take place a1 S0ne next, the exact day not yet nFIng determined upon, was read, Fri eazy morning. at St. James palace, Temple Bar and the Royal Exchange, with all the quaint mediaeval scenes @nich marked the occasion of the Syoclaiming of the accession of the AMg. The ceremonial was unheraled- sG, so the crush was not so great as eD the previous occasion, but crowds Euickly gathered from all directions +and thronged the points at which the announcement was read. The cere- zoony began at St. James, where, from fss' parple-draped balcony of the pal ase, the norrey lling-ofarms (Will- 1aK Henry Weldon), in brilliant uni Serm, accompanied by the hera!ds &Ed pursuivants, in gorgeous tabards, SnE numerous state officials, read 'she proclamation.
 Gorgeous CavaIcadc.
 At the appointed hour, four state srumpeters, lavishly adorned in gold embroidered tunics, appeared in front sa the balcony. By their side stood 4hs norrey king g-of-arms, fanked by swo royal macers, bearing gold maces, and surrounded by the blue mantle (Gordon Ambrose De Lisle 2see); the rouge dragon (Everard Gsaen); the Somerset herald (Henry Narnham Burke); the York herald %AHfraH SpGtf Snn4+ Windsor herald (William Alexander 1andsay), all in their full official re- gagla, and the earl marshal (the duke S< Norfollk); the lord steward (the aarl of Pembroke); the lord chamber Ialn tthe earl of Clarendon), and oth srs.
 The Proclamation Read.
 The trumpeters sounded a protract- I'd fanfare, and then the norrey GIng ng-of-arms barred his head and read she proclamation in clear voice, which must have been audible to the Eoyal party, occupying a stand on the grounds of Marlborough House, facing &he balcony of the palace. King Ed ward wore ar admiral's uniform. t9uren Alexandra and the others of Ike royal party watched the ceremony with the greatest interest, the king Tzsing field glasses to obtain a clearer vsew.
 As the norrey king-of arms con. sEuded with the words God save the &ing," the trumpcters again sounded n fanfare, the king, in the meantime, Eanding at the salute.
 Proceeded to Other Points.
 A procession was then formed. Led gy detachment of the horse guards, 3ge royal carriages, containing the Reraids, pursuivants and other off, eiaIs, proceeded to Temple Bar and s6s Royal Exchange, where the form Ehfies, less picturesque, perhaps, were .repeated.
