 band To-Day.

New York, June 2O.--Ida Howard. alias "Goldie Moran" pretty negress, who was known as the 'tcolored badger queen of the Tenderloin, " was shot and killed early to-day by her common law husband, Charles ]. Arthur, % years old, white man. The shooting was the continuation of a quarrel in which the couple had been engaged for more than a week, and occurred after Ar thur had been apparently deserted by the woman.

 A week ago, it is said, a quarrel started between the couple, when the woman accused Arthur of paying att tention to other women. Before the officers could remove Arthur from the scene they were set upon by angry ne- groes who threatened violence until they were beaten of. Arthur said ne had intended to use the remaining bul- let. in the revolver to take his own life.

REFERRED TO IN PULPIT.
New York Ministers Talked on the
 Slocum Disaster.

New York, June 20.-Nearly every minister in Greater New York Ie- ferred in his weekly discourse to the SIocum disaster. A dominant note in all the sermons was sympathy, but many strong comments were heard as to the cause of the 1isasrer. Dr Robert S. McArthur, at the Calvary Baptist church. said: '9The disaster abounds in practical and spiritual les sons. It belongs to the great mystery in human existence.
 ssThis was not, however, what IS known in a legal sense as an act of God We err If we blame God for the neglect of man. God is not re- sponsible for our violation Of natures laws.
 The sense of brotherhood has been strong in every soul since this disas ter. We have learned the lesson of sympathy. We must learn that of precaution."
 Rev Dr Huntington of Grace church said
 Tt has been by such bitter experi- ence as this that we have learned of self-protection against the violence of nature. These poor sufferers have not died in vain if following upon their dreadful pains there co1ne better shipbuilding regulations, more rigid inspection of steam vessels and strict CT discipline aboard vessels carrying human life"
 General dread caused by the disas- ter has greatly thinned the crowds which usually fill to the limit excur- sion steamers plying to nearby re- sorts. Many steamers with q capacity of 1,500 to 2,00O left their docks car- rying less than half that number. En- ployes Cf the dock department station. ed along the wharves for many years declare they never hefo a had seen such sudden falling off in the crowds of pleasure seekers.

IT IS ALL FIXED.
That's the Feeling at Chica. go. Consequently Not
 fuch Enthusiasm.

Chicago. June 2o-The forenoon has to-day brought in the stragglers and the ranks of the state delegations have been nearly all filled. Most of the caucuses will be held late to-day or tonight. There is a small attend ance. The utterance of sharp poIiti- cal work is noticeable and forces the belief that everything is fixed. Some importance is attached to the desuI- tory discussion of Senator Fafrbanks's probable reason for declining to talk about the vice.presidenc and of the wisdom of his reticence. Were 1t not for the gossip he has furnished and the little furry raised by the possi- bility of tariff revision, politics would be dead letter in the republican, convention this year. With no con- test for first place on the ticket and apparently none for second, mo occasion exists for marching clubs of enthus- lasts, shouting themselves hoarse, headed by bands or other organiza- uons which customarily add to the din.
 Senator Fairbanks continued si- fence regarding the vice presidency has caused most of the strongest supp porters in his own delegation to ad- y1se him to make an announcement to-day that he would be glad to have the nomination. A meeting of some of his friends, including Representa- tlves Watson and Hemenway and Chairman Goodrich of the Indiana state committee met in Senator Eair- banks room early dn the day with the object of settling on whether he ought not now to say that he is a. candidate. The decision will probably be com munieated to the Indiana delegation which meets to-day.
 New York has not determined whom 1t will support for vice presd- dent" said Governor Odell to-day. tsTt is not pledged to Fairbanks, or Can non or Hitt. There is plenty of time to think 1t oyer and there should be an open fleld.' The New York dele ion meets tonight at 9 o'clock.
