 "A short while ago I had the honor to address your excelleDcy q letter re- qusting that on the occasion of your visit to Charleston you present q sword to Major Micah. Jenkins of the First United States volunteer cavalry, of whose gallant services you spoke so highly, your words being engraved on the scabbard You accepted the invitation, for which we thank you. l am now requested by contributors to the sword fund to ask that you with draw said acceptance"
 In explaining the sending of the tele- gram Lieutenant Governor Tillman said:
 'sIt is with much regret that 1 was directed or, rather, required to send the telegram I did, especially in view of the fact that I am so closely related to one who but few days ago was subjected to an affront which was seemingly, or at least people who con- tributed to the purchase of the sword think, unwarranted."

Slow watch Caused wreck.

AUBURN, N. T., Feb. 27.-The blame for the wreck on the New York Central and Hudson River railroad near Aurelius Station Monday night is laid by Conductor George W. Butler of East Syracuse to his watch. Butler was the chief witness at the coroners inquest. He was in charge of the wrecking train which is held accounta- ble for the tragedy. Butler declares that his train barely came to a stop at Cayuga and that Engineer Durand con- tinued without any order from him. By his watch the train had eleven min utes, ample time to reach Aurelius before the passenger train left. After the collision, he said, he compared his watch with others and found that he was twenty minutes behind.

Prince Henry So Ordered by Kaiser.
 Clever Diplomacy.
 LONDON, Feb. 27.-Prince Henry will visit Canada after touring the United States.
 The kaiser reached this decision out of difference to the feelings of the Eng fish people, who had expressed great dissatisfaction at the kaiser's bold bid for American friendship.
 The kaiser first cabled to King Ed ward, asking if such visit from Prince Henry would be agreeable to the British government. King Edward in reply said that it would and assured the kaiser that the Canadians would heartily welcome Prince Henry.
 Thereupon the kaiser sent by cable to Prince Henry in New York his inn perial command to visit the cities of Canada.
 This action of the kaiser is consider ed here as another clever diplomatic coup by the kaiser-frst to win the friendship of the American people and then to offset the soreness of the Eng fish thereat by sending his royal broth CT to visit Canada.

THREATENING FLOOD
Breaking Dam Tn Schuylkill
 River Causes Alarm.
HIGH WATER ABOUT QUAKER CITY.
An Ice Gorge Tn the Susquehanna Breaks Near Harrisburg, but Moves Out Quietly-Danger
 at Other Points.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-Infor- nation IS received here that the flood in the Schuyllzill river has broken the dam at Pottstown, town forty miles above this city, resulting in an inn mense rush of water toward Philadel- phia. At Norristown much damage is apprehended- from the steadily increas- ing volume of water. Officials of the Philadelphia and Reading railway at that point are preparing for the proba- ble inundation of the tracks between that borough and this city. The twelve foot ice gorge at the head of Barbados island, near Norristown, has broken, and the ice which had been held there for more than a week swept down the river, playing havoc with the property along the banks. Many mills are idle because of the flood.
 The Plymouth railroad bridge at Flourtown, a short distance from Nor ristown, has been weakened by the high water and pounding of the ice and is considered unsafe.
 Many of the residents along the Schuylkill have been compelled to va cate their houses.
 1uo lee ndS DrOkeQ III tue OuSQue- hanna opposite Harrisburg. There was a slight accompanying rise in the river, but the ice is moving very nicely. The river has been covered with a thick coat of ice for three weeks. No danger of damage from flood in that city is anticipated except along the Paxton creek district, the banks of which stream have overflowed.
 The Pennsylvania railroad officials do not anticipate any danger from an ice gorge at Rockville. If there is dan- ger, corps of men will be sent there to dynamite the ice for some distance above the piers of the old and new bridges.
 On the Mount Alto branch of the Cumberland Valley road bridge was washed away at Fayetteville, and all traffic Is suspended between Cham bersburg and Waynesboro and Mount Alto for the present.

STORY OF THE RELEASE.
Bandits Svore Miss Stone and Conn.,

Bandits Swore Miss Stone and Conn.,
 panion to Absolute Secrecy.
 SALONIKA, Roumelia, Feb. 27.- Miss Stone says the brigands swore both of their captiyes to absolute se- crecy regarding any information calcu- lated to establish the identity of the brigands, the location of the places where they were concealed or other facts likely to compromise their cap tors. As matter of fact the prisoners themselves are very uncertain regard ing many details of their wanderings. They did not know when they were released in what section of the country they were.
 An arrangement had been made to release Miss Stone and her companion near Seres, Macedonia, where Drago- man Gargiulo and MT. House were waiting for them, but the brigands, owing to timidity or otherwise, de- clared it was too difficult to carry out the plan and brought their captives, after hard night march, within one and a half hours of Strumitza. The two women were left under the shelter of a tree at 3:30 in the morning of ~. 70. iAe OSilelilS POiHte0 ouI lHS direction of the village and ordered the captives to report themselves to the village elder, who, on learning their identity, would provide for them. The brigands then turned back and disap- peared among the hills.
 Miss Stone also says that the brig ands always treated them well. They built a hut for the prisoners on the mountain, provided horses for them when they travelled and carried Mime. Tsilka's baby whenever they were al lowed to do so.
 The brigands especially asked the la- dies to convey their congratulations to NJ. Gargiulo, MT. Peet and others for the ingenuity displayed in the payment of the ransom
