FRENCH LOAN
 BONDS READY S29. 900, 900 Worth of Con- solidated Roads Soon
 to Go to Paris. ALL SIGNED IN THIS CITY Safe Delivery in Paris Charged to Messrs. Brom-
 ley and Greenough. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES Great Task of Registering Performed by Second
 National Bank.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES

Arrangements have been completed for the final steps to be taken to nego- tiate the French loan for $29, ,OOO, ,OOO by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company. For over month the Second National bank of this city, has been busy registering the 290,000 bonds of 500 franc denomination ($l00), a signature being required on each of an official of the bank. Within the next threee weeks Major Tsaao Bromley of this city, and MT. William Greenough, attorney, of New York, will sail for Europe in custody or the bonds, charged with their safe delivery in Paris and in such other cities In Eu- rope where they have been sold.
 Some idea of the labor involved in this transaction may be gathered from the following statistics, which are veri- fled by competent authority. One hundred and fourteen plates were re- quired to do the engraving by the Ann erican Bank Note company of New York, which together weighed about 1000 pounds The total plate impress sionsmade, which hinclude the original in- PAS'DAOAAD' bAiV AlAlPA CS0lO1l0 sOl DOIlu Il6dU numbers, impressions of coupon num- bers, sum of a total of 4,35OO0O. The total of numbers placed on the bonds foots up to 1S,27o,0O0. while the total of figures placed on the bonds Is 102, GEO. 900, The total number of sheets counted is 15,s5O,OOO
 It required twenty-seven and half tons of ink to do the printing. The weight of the bonds is ten and three quarters tons. The daily delivery of unsigned bonds to the Second National bank has been 10000, the last having been received and signed yesterday. The amount of wire used in binding the bonds measures 6O,40O feet, or eleven and half miles. The tape used in binding the bonds measures SS,OoO feet or fifty and half miles. If the total number of sheets were laid lengthwise in one continuous line. they would reach 206 miles; and with three printings to sheet amount to SIS miles of plate printing. Tho most strenuous task enforced for the dis charge of this responsibility by Major Bromley and MT. Greenough fell upon the registrar of the Second National bank, the assistant cashiers appointed by the bank and the railroad company and President Mellen.
 The selection of Major Bromley for the task of delivering these bonds is accepted by his many friends. with MT. Greenough, as mark of appreciation by the company of the faithful work he has done as press agent during his eighteen years of service. It is not ex- pected that it will be necessary for him 10 be away from his department more than two months.

 Disaffection.
CAUSES BIG SURPRISE

London, June 5.-Coming on the heels of the widely published stories of dis affection in certain districts of Ireland alleged to be more serious than in any period of the past twenty years and provoking debates in both houses of parliament the sudden official an- norrcement is made tonight that King Edward and Queen Alexandra will visit Ireland early in July The news has caused great surprise.

It is understood that his majesty will present two cups on that occasion.
 II is significant that the kings visits to Ireland are invariably made during tines of alleged disaffection. He is however, always received with the greatest enthusiasm.

ORCHARD TELLS
 OF HIS CRIMES Long List of Shocking Out rages He Was I'm
 plicated In.
PAID TO COMMIT THEM
Blew Up Mines and Mur- dered For Leaders of
 Western Federation.

Boise, Idaho, June 5.-Alfred Horsley, alias Harry Orchard, the actual assas- sin of Frank Steunnenberg, went on the stand to-day as witness against Will Ham D. Haywood and made public con- fession of a long chain of brutal, re- volting crimes, committed, he said, at the inspiration and for the pay of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners.
 An undertaking by the prosecutors that they would by later proof make his testimony legitimate, opened the way like a flood gate for the whole dla- bclical story, and throughout the entire day Orchard went on from crime re- cital to crime recital. each succeeding one seemingly more revolting than the one that preceded.
 Orchard confessed that as a member of the mob that wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill un the Occur d'Alenes he lighted one of the fuses that fired the giant powder; confessed that he set the death trap in the Vindi- cator mine at Cripple Creek that blew out the lives of Superintendent MeCor- mick and Foreman Beck; confessed that because he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence in the Vim dicator mine he had been treacherous to his associates by warning the manag- CTS of the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Linte Gregory, of Denver killing him instantly; confessed that fo. days he stalked Governor Peabody of Colorado about, awaiting a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine un- der the station at Independence that instantly killed fourteen men, and con- fessed that, failing in attempt to poison Fred Bradley of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gelatine powder
 And he has more brutal crimes to tel that will bring his bloody career down to it's end at Caldwell, where with a great bomb he killed former Governor Frank Stsunenberg. These will come tomorrow.
 Orchard retained control of himself almost from the moment he took the stand, and If he suffered much he did

CZAR'S OWN GUARD REVOL7 s TOO MUCH DISCIPLINE Imperial Family Had Just Arrived at Tsarskoe-
 Selo.

St. Petersburg, June 5.-The fourth squadron of the Hussars of the Guard, stationed at Tsarskoe- -Selo, to which place the imperial family had just re- moved, revolted to-day against the strict discipline which recently had been instituted by a new commander. The trouble for time threatened to spread through the entire regiment, but the mutinous troopers were surrounded and disarmed by other troops, and or- der was restored without bloodshed. The ringleaders have already been turned over to a court-martial.
 The news of the mutiny caused con siderable apprehension, the first news reporting the affair to be far more se- rious than the revolt of the soldiers of the Preobrajensky regiment in June, 1906. The officers of the Hussars regi- ment say that the outbreak was not political.

Skully were the incidents that made up the first days trial of Mayor E. E. Schmitz for alleged extortion of money from keepers of French restaurants.
 Attorney Heney in his statement to the jury charged the mayor and Abra- ham Ruef jointly indicted with Schmitz on this charge, and who pleaded guilty, with plotting to carry on a systema- tice scheme of blackmail' through the instruInentaEty of the police commis- sien. Heney recited at length the al- legged methods used by the mayor and Ruef to intimidate the .restauranteurs and to show that Ruef was the only man who could secure their licenses to them and that money was the only thing that would obtain his influence.

CRoKER'S VICTORY.
Not Relished by British Press--Experts,
 However, Enthusiastic.

Not Relished by British Press--Experts,
 However, Enthusiastic.
 London, June 6.--Only few morn- ing papers commented editorially on Mir. Croker's victory at Epson Downs and there, with one or two exceptions with pens dipped in ink unfriendly to MT Croker It is significant also, per- haps, that the space allotted in the news columns to the race lacks it's customary amplitude, and plainly put it would seem that the achievement of the life ambition of the former leader of Tammay Hall is not as popular as would be expected with a people dis tinguished for loving sport for sports sake"
 Some scaptlous writers describe the event as "The Irish-A American Derby and others as ''Croker's revenge" for the snub of the jockey club in refus- ing MT. Croker permission to train at Newmarket. The Express declares with solemnity:
 For political reasons, Orby's owner could not expect to receive the sort of ovation which would have been ac- corded Lord Rosbery or the Duke of Westminster"
 In contrast to the icy comment of the editorial writers is the marked en- thuslasm of the expert sporting writ CTS, who generally praise the judg- ment of the owner and the skill of the trainer and unanimously describe Or bys victory as a grand performance. :"
 They hint that the coldness with which MT. Crocker's victory was re- eeived is a result entirely of financial consideration
