GROVER CLEVELAND
 WANTS PRESIDENCY
Sage of Princeton Quick Enough to Decline Presidency of Uni verSity of Virginia Because He Has Higher Aspirations
 Present Inconsistent Tactics Duplicated in 1896
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

he became angry and the odor of sul- phur pervnded the White House. In his vigorous refusal to say a "- word" up on the subject he said among other things:
 "Why should I say anything7 I have never told you or anybody that I was a candidate. It would be silly and pre- sumptious for me to come out and say that I was not. The people would boot and say Nobody asked you. sir, and make all sorts of fun. No person of sense can decline a thing until 1t is offered him and I shall not think of doing such a foolish piece of business"
 This was the end of the efforts here to get the old man to speak up and get out of the way of Carlisle, olney or some other good man.
 Now apropos of the for going comes the case of the presidency of the University of Virginia. Some of the admirers of Mir. Cleveland suggested his name for the presidency of that great institution, and the New York newspapers treated 1t so seriously and conclusively that Mir. Cleve- land no doubt thought that they intend- ed to elect him. AS mater of fact he was never thought of seriously by the faculty. But Mir. Cleveland did not know this and fearing perhaps that he might be elected, which would disturb his other plans he hastily sends for reporter of the Associated Press and dictates the fol- lowing: "I should be utterly unable to accept such proposition"
 Thus it will be seen that Mir. Cleveland can decline in advance anything that he does not want, and that he is no more consistent than other men. What the on- ly living ex-president seems to want Is not the presidency of the University of Vir- ginia, but to be again the President of the United States.

AMENDMENT TO
 BILL DISCUSSED
SEC. WYNDHAM SAYS HE IS UNI ABLE TO ACCEPT REDMoND'S PROPOSAL TO RAISE THE MINI. MUM REDUCTION.

London, June 16.-On the resumption of the debate on the Irish land bill. in the house of commons today. the amendment of Jno. Redmond, the Irish leaders which seeks to abolish the minimum price at which the landlord may sell even though the landlord and tenant might agree on a lower price. was discussed. Chief Irish Secretary wnydhans declared that he considered limits on bargains were essen tial precautions. He was unable to ac- cept Mir. Redmond's ~.J to raise the minimum reduction.
 MT. Redmond expressed regret at Mir. Wyndham's decision and said that If the amendment was not accepted by the gov ernment he was afraid they had arrived at the parting of the ways. The national ists must stand by the amendment and there must be time taken for the consid- eration of this point by the government, otherwise 95 of the Irish members would be found in the lobby against the govern ment Irish opinion was united and ie no concession was made 1t would be impos- sible for the Irish members to report the bill as acceptable to the Irish people.
 Timothy Healy, nationalist, suggested that the government might get out of the entanglement by bestowing the largest discretionary powers on the estate com- missioners John Morle, liberal, who sad he feared the bill was in great peril. com plained of MT. Wyndham's attitude. He said the English and Scotch members would only support the bill so long as 1t was acceptable to all the Irish represen- tatives.
 Mir. Wyndham said he realized the gray ity of the situation but the minimum re- auctions must remain 10 and 20 per cent. He was ready to consider an amendment affecting non-judlcial ten- acities.
 Mir Redmond retorted that this was no concession whatever as the bulk of the tenants were Judicial tenants.

Along the Streets Passes the Funeral Procession of
 SerVian Hero
PORTRAITS OF LATE KING
 TORN FROM PUBLIC PLACES
People Are lmpassive and Prepare tions Are Being Made to Re- ceive the New
 King.

Belgrade, June 16.--The town is pei fectly calm and quiet is apparently as- sured.
 Guns boomed frequently during the day in honor of Peter. the church bells rang merrily and simultaneously along the main street marched the funeral process sion. accompanied by all the panoply of the Greek church. A regiment of soldiers, with It's band, was carrying to the grave the remains of young lieutenant to whom had been accorded the title of the "armys hero" a title which was gained as follows:
 Story of Hero. The commandant of a division eneamped in the envrons of Belgrade was surprised In the palace by the conspirators OH the night of the assassinations and managed to escape He found a mounted orderly, took his horse and galloped to the en- campment of his division to summon some of the regiments to the assistance of the king. Just before reaching the camp the lieutenant who was buried today overlook the commandant and in a sangulnary fight which ensued the commandant was killed and the lieutenant mortally wounded. He died yesterday.
 The new royal ciphers are reaching the military depots today and will be served out to the army before the arrival of King Peter.
 The portraits of the late King Alexander are being removed from the walls of pub lie places.
 Workmen were busy all day and night at the palace removing all signs of the tragedy and repairing the damage caused by flying bullets, preparatory to the in- sta1lation of the new ruler.
 It appears very unlikely that an official account of the crime will be published The absence of all expression of regret among the educated classes is most strik- ing and leads to the conclusion that either the assassinations were extremely popular or the Servians are the most impassive people in the world. As a matter of fact the whole country is governed by a few men and in many cases the peasantry are ignorant of the cause of the change
 Constitutional Revision Stopped.
 No further progress has been made in the revision of the constitution. Many of the better class of Servians aver that the present ministry is Inclined to conserva- tive ideas and desires to protect the delib- eratlons the subject of the modifica- tion of the constitution until the arrival of King Peter, thus giving the new sover- eign free hand This Is partly con arrnad

Thrilling Adventure.

One of the most thrilling adventures was that of Thomas Shutter, who with his family was carried down stream in his house for mile and half. Shutter took his two little ones on his shoulder and swan two hundred yards in the boiling torrent, landing the children, and then struck out to the house for his wife and rescued her.
 The Mcbride family. who were lost, went down in their house. The daughter screamed and broke out one of the win dows. Louis Mckinney, with his family, ran out of their house to escape McKin- ney saw the whole Mcbride family perish. A force of seventy-ive men are digging graves on the hillside. Prompt measures are being taken to prevent a plague. The weather threatens to become hot. and a relief corps to clean the town Is urgently needed.

ESTIMATES OF LOSS
 DIFFER WIDELY
Number of Dead at keppner
 Probably 800
HEROIC DEEDS OF CITIZENS
Families Are Swept Away By the An qry Floods and Many Lives Are Lost in the Work os Rescue.
 Prompt Measures Taken.

Heppner, Ore, June 16.-Estimates of the loss of life by Sunday nights cloud burst differ widely but the number of dead is certain to reach 300. and 1t may be swelled to 800 when all are accounted for. One hundred and ten bodies have been buried and it is known that fifty are missing. Still others who were strang- CTS in the town are supposed to be among the lost.
 People are coming here from all dlrec- tions in wagons and on horseback, and the work of recovering bodies and bury ing the dead is proceeding as fast as pos sible.
 Loss of Life Greater Than Supposed.
 The Dalles, Ore, June 16-A telephone message from lone states that the latest find in the ruins of Heppner indicates that the loss of life will be much greater than at first supposed. The casualty list will foot up 800, and many of the bodies will neversbe recovered The property loss and destruction of buildings alone will ag- gregate probably a million dollars. This Is regarded as a conservative estimate
 One hundred and fifty of the best res idences were swept from the earth. The debris is piled along the railroad track to the height of ten feet.
 An Ageu Hero.
 Among the incidents of the catastrophe was the saving of three lives by Julius Keitly, 70 years of age. who rode one mile and a half on roofs of houses and pulled in three people from the flood. James Herman, the Oregon railway and naviga- ton company agent, met his death at the telegraph key trying to raise Portland to inform the outside world of the impending calamity. His litle daughter Katie, who was saved by remaining in the station, saw her father and mother lose their lives in the whirl of the mad waters Katie stood by while her father was call- ing the Portland office when the flood swept in the lower floor and cured around him. Mrs. Herman rushed out of the house and started for high point of ground. Herman sought to save his wife and both were lost.

Paint and feathers are not the only

natural state he has many of the finer

the war path and chase suppressed, his
interests are narrowed to a few things.
His stoicism. bravery and cunning have
little opportunity for display or APP

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
ov%erdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus.
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a farmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are bene.
flied and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c
