1 SPEECH
Philadelphia, Pa.. May 15.—Here, in the
city which first placed on its brow the
laurel crown of achievement, the memory
of George Washington, the soldier, the
statesman and the man. was honored to-
day on monumental bronze.
The cord which released the swaddling
flags from the figure o'f the first ruler of
the republic was drawn by its latest ruler.
Surrounding him were men in whose veins
run the blood of those first patriots who
battled shoulder to shoulder with Washing-
ion and with him made possible the scene
enacted to-day—a scene conceived and
planned by those very comrades in arms;
executed by their suns in peace.
The purpose of years, evolved by a hand-
fu. of warriors, to do honor to their chief-
lain, carried through crosses and adversity
by their sons and their sons' sons, was
consummated. But the consummation was
.beyond the brightest dreams of those first
iew war-stained Americans. The union
which they formed has grown to a mighty
organization, whose membership stretches
from ocean to ocean, under the name of
the Society of the Cincinnati, while the
magnificence of the memorial itself—reared
at the gateway of the greatest park and
in the most intensely American city of the
land—far surpassed their highest hopes.
It was a notable gathering of represen-
tatives of the country, including the presi-
dent, the vice president and the cabinet
officers, its defenders in the officers and
privates of the army and navy, and its
cast blood in the direct descendants of the
molders and makers of the nation. Major
William Wayne, president of the Cincinna-
ti, who formally presented the monument
to the city, traces his lineage straight to
"Mad Anthony," and William M. Porter,
the orator of the day, is a grandson of
David Rittenhouse Porter, twice governor
of Pennsylvania, and a great grandson of
General Andrew Porter, who was on
Washington's staff in the revolution. Thus
no historic interest was wanting to stimu-
late enthusiasm.
The actual unveiling ceremony was im-
pressively simple. Bishop Whitaker opened
with prayer and Majoi Wayne followed
with an appropriate address. Then came
the unveiling by President McKinley and
the resultant clamor, augmented by the na-
tional salute of twenty-one guns by the ar-
tillery and by the foreign and American
vessels in the Delaware. This concluded,
President McKinley spoke as follows:
"Fellow Citizens: There is a peculiar and
tender sentiment connected with this me-
morial. It expresses not only the gratitude
and reverence of the living, but it is a tes-
timonial of affection and homage for the
dead. The comrades of Washington pro-
jected this1 monument. Their lives inspired
it, their contributions helped to build it.
Past and present share in its completion,
and future generations will profit by its
lessons.
"To participate in the dedication of such
a monument is a rare and precious priv-
ilege. Every monument to Washington is
a tribute to patriotism. Every shaft and
statue to his memory helps to inculcate love
of country, encourage loyalty and estab-
lish a belter citizenship. God bless every
undertaking which revives patriotism and
rebukes the indifferent and lawless.
"A critical study of Washington's career
only enhances our estimation of his vast
and varied abilities.
"As commander-in-chief of the colonial
armies from the beginning of the war to
the proclamation of peace, as president of
the convention which framed the consti-
tution and as the first president of the
United States Washington has a distinc-
tion differing from all other illustrious
Americans. No other name bears nor can
bear such a relation to the government.
Not only by military genius, but by his
patience, his sagacity, his courage and his
skill was our national independence won,
but he helped in the largest measure to
draft the chart by which the nation was
guided, and he was the first chosen of the
people to put in motion the new govern-
ment.
"His was not the boldness of martial
display or the charm of captivating ora-
tory, but his calm and steady judgment
won men's support and commanded their
confidence by appealing to their best and
noblest aspirations. And withal Washing-
ton was even so modest that at no time in
his career did personality seem in the least
intrusive. He was above the temptation
of power. He spurned the suggested crown.
Ho would have no honor which the people
did not bestow. An interesting fact, and
one whioh 1 love to recall, is that the only
time Washington formally addressed the
constitutional convention during all its
sessions over which he presided, and in it
he appealed for a larger representation of
the people in the national house of repre-
sentatives. and his appeal was instantly
heeded. Thus he was ever keenly watch-
ful of the rights of the people, in whose
hands was the destroy of our government
then and now.
"Masterful as were hi* military cam-
paigns, his civil administration commands
equal admiration. His foresight was mar-
velous; his conception of the philosophy of
government, his Insistence upon the neces-
sity of education, morality and enlightened
citizenship to the progress and permanence
of the republic can not be contemplated
even at this period without tilling us with
astonishment" at the breadth of his compre-
hension and the sweep of his vision.
"His was no narrow view of government.
The immediate present was not his sole
concern, but our future good his constant
theme of study. He blazed the path of lib-
erty when he laid the foundation upon
which we have grown from weak and scat-
tered colonial governments to a united re-
public, whose domains and power, as well
as whose liberty anil freedom have become
the- admiration of the world. Distance and
time have not detracted from the fame and
force of his achievements or diminished
the grandeur of his life and work. Great
deeds do not stop in their growth, and
those of Washington will expand in infiu-
ence in all the centuries to follow.
"The bequest Washington has made to
civilization is rich beyond computation. The
obligations undr r which he has placed man -
kind are secured. The responsibility he has
left for the American people to preserve and
perfect what he accomplished is exacting
and solemn. Det us rejoice in every new
evidence that the people realize what they
enjoy and cherish with affection the illus-
trious heroes of revolutionary storv, whose
valor and sacrifices made a nation. They
live in us, and their memory will help us
keep the covenant entered into for the
maintenance of the freest government on
earth.
'The nation and the name "f Wash-
ington are inseparable. One Is linked indis-
solubly with the other. Hoth an glorious;
both triumphant. Washington lives and
will live, because what he did was for the
exaltation of man, the • nthronermmt of
conscience and the establishment of a gov-
ernment which recognizes all the governed.
And so. too. will the nation live victorious
over all obstacles, adhering to the immortal
principles which Washington taught and
Lincoln sustained."
The oration was then delivered by W. W.
Porter. The formal presentation of the me-
morial to the city was made by Major
Wayne to Mayor Warwick, with short ad-
dresses by both, and then the mayor trans-
ferred it to the Fair mount Park eomrrii -
Fion, which body exercises jurisdiction over
the great pleasure ground.

HlNtory and Description.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 15.—The magnifi-
cent memorial dedicated to-day with such
pomp and pageantry has a history almost
us full of interest and "moving accidents"
as that of the hero whose prowess it com-
memorates.
On the Fourth of July, 1811. more than
eighty-five years ago, the Bocien of the
Cincinnati, which still had among'its mem-
bers officers who had fought in the revolu-
tion, rr«*t in Independence liall and adopted
a resolution to erect a monument to tho
memory of George Washing tun. The «o-
c1'fv had not then acquir.nl its peculiar
distinction as an organization of patriots of

ship of their ancestry. They were not un-
like tiie legions which have grown out of
the civil war. and Washington was as near
to them as Grant is> to the veterans' or-
ganizations of the present day. A word
about its formation by the band of war-
riors who lvd our hosts to victory ami
something of its history will be said pres-
ently. At this meeting a committee was
appointed, made up ot Major D. Lenox,
Judge li. Pi ters, Major W. Jackson. "Mr."
Kiddle, a descendant of "Nick" Kiddle, the
doimv.iv cf.mmodore of the revolution, and
Horace ilium v. They appealed for funds
to th« people of Pennsylvania,t and $2000
came in. Kr >m this small beginning the
fund has grown to $280,00(1. although the or-
iginal purpose was n- raise only $l'i0.t)0(i.
The war of 1M-. with its two years of ex-
citement and i/e consequent hard times,
caused a susni'ision of the movement. It
remained in abeyance for :i number of
years. Fin-ally, in K:_. the 100th anniver-
sary of Washington's birth produced an-
other revival of patriotic memories, and a
committee of citizens started a new fund
for the monument. In honor of this cen-
tennial Hu n was a great procession, and
in the division given up to trades was a
car dr-awn by seven horses and carrying
the corner stone which had been prepared
for the monument; Again the next year
there was a great parade, and the stone
was laid in the center of Washington
square, within sight of the venerated Inde-
pendence ha!'..
Meantime the original fund in the cus-
tody of the Cincinnati had remained un-
disturbed. and the citizens' fund was also
substantially intact. Overtures were re-
peatedly made for a consolidation of the
two funds, but the sturdy conservatism of
the Cincinnatians defeated them until about
fifteen years -ago. when the matter was
carried to the courts with successful issue.
During the interval of quiescence both
funds had waxed fatter—the citizens' to
$50,000 and the Cincinnati to $130,(MX). The
union formed a treasury which continued
to accumulate up to the grand achievement
to-day of the purpose of our forefathers.
The monument, which is the design of
Prof. Rudolph Siemering, a celebrated
sculptor of Berlin, is about 40 feet high.
From an oblong platform, reached on four
sides by thirteen steps, symbolical of the
thirteen original states, rises a pedestal
bearing an equestrian statue in bronze of
General Washington. The Father of His
Country is represented in the colonial uni-
form of the American army, a large mili-
tary cloak being thrown around his com-
manding figure. At the four corners of the
platform are fountains, served by allegor-
ical figures of American Indians, represent-
ing four rivers, the Delaware, Hudson, Po-
tomao and Mississippi. On the sides each
of these fountains is guarded by typical
American animals, eight in all. At the
front and back of the pedestal are two al-
legorical groups, the former representing
America seated, holding in one hand a cor-
nucopia. in the other a trident and having
at her feet chains just cast off. She is in
the act of receiving from her victorious
sons the trophies of their conquest. Below
this group is an eagle supporting the arms
of the United States.
The group in the back represents America
arousing her sons to a sense of their slav-
ery. Below are the arms of Pennsylvania.
On the sides of the pedestal are two bas-
reliefs, one representing the march of the
American army, the other a western bound
emigrant train. On one side the pedestal
bears the inscription: "Sic Semper Tyran-
nis," and "Per Aspera ad Astra;" on the
other: "Westward the Star of Empire Takes
Its Way." Surrounding the upper portion
of the pedestal is the legend: ''Erected by
the State Society of the Cincinnati."
The Society of the Cincinnati forms an
interseting historic ling connecting our
times with the revolution. Later wars have
produced other societies which are com-
posed of actual participants in the events
which they commemorate; whereas the Cin-
cinnati, conceived by Washington's fellows
in the field, now includes only their descend-
ants. It was founded on May 13, 1783, at a
meeting of the officers of the continental
army, at the Verplanck residence on the
east shore of the Hudson river, about a
mile above Fishkill, N. Y. Each regiment
and staff corps sent its representative, and
Inspector General Steuben presided. The
constitution, or rather institution, as the
phrase still continues, recounts the happy
close of the war for independence "after a
bloody conflict of eight years," and then
recites as the purpose of the society:
"To perpetuate, as well the remembrance
of this vast event as the neutral friendships
which have been formed under the pressure
of common danger and in many instances
cemented by the blood of the parties, the
officers of the American army do hereby,
in the most solemn manner, as.ioui&te, con-
stitute and combine themselves into one so-
ciety of friends, to endure as long as they
shall endure or any of their eldest male
posterity, and in failure thereof, the collat-
eral branches who may be judged worthy
of becoming its supporters and members.
"The officers of the American a«rmy; hav-
ing generally been taken from the citizens
of America, possess high veneration for the
character of that illustrious Roman, Lucius
Quintius Cincinnatus, and. being resolved to
follow his example by returning to theto*
citizenship, they think they may with pro-
priety denominate themselves the Society
of the Cincinnati."
The first officers were General Washing-
ton, president general; General Gates, vice
president general: General Knox, secretary
general; General Williams, assistant secre-
tary general, and General MacDougal, treas-
urer general. Of course, the names of mem-
bers included many distinguished revolu-
tionary officers, such as Greene, Sullivan,
Lincoln, Smallwood. Steuben, Moultrie,
Schuyler. Clinton, Wayne, Hamilton, Burr,
Morgan and so on.
It is an interesting fact that at the out-
set the aid of France was acknowledged
not only by constituting a branch of the
society there, but by electing as members
Counts Astaing, De Grasse and Ro-
ehambeau, who hadETAOINit ETAOIN T
chambeau, with other officers who had
served in the French co-operative forces
in a rank not under that of colonel, or of
commanding officer in the French fleets.
The French society was organized with the
consent of the king, and Count He Astaing
sent to General Washington as a gift from
the French naval officers the eagle of the
order, set in diamonds, with a blue ribbon,
edged with white, to typify the alliance be-
tween France and America. This has been
worn by each succeeding president general
of the society. Thus unusual significance is
attached to the presence at to-day's cere-
monies of the French ambassador, Pate-
noire, and the French cruiser Fulton.
Monroe was an original member and
President Plerse a hereditary member of
the society. Washington was succeeded in
the office by Hamilton: he In turn by the
two Plnelcneys of South Carolina, while
Ogden. Lewis, Popham. Dearborn, and, in
1S54, Hamilton Fish succeeded.
President General Wayne, elected last
year, is a direct descendant of "Mad An-
thony." The vice president g< neral Is
Winslow Warren of Massachusetts: the sec-
retary general is Asa Bird, a retired army
officer, and his assistant is Nicholas Fish,
while the. treasurer and assistant treasurer
are R. M. McSherry and 11. T. Droune.
At the first general meeting, held at the
City tavern, Philadelphia. May 4, 1TSI,
Washington was again chosen president.
The centennial celebration of the founda-
tion of the society was at the Verplanck
house.
The order was established in each state,
arid while several of these state societies
in time became non-existent, the organiza-
tion as a whole has been continuously kept
up.

Hearne, Tex., May 15.—A floater was dis-
covered and taken from the Brazos this
afternoon ai the Port Sullivan bridge. Jus-
tice Henninger was called and at the inquest
found the man to have been murdered, the
back of his head being torn away and th.>
brain exposed. The man was above aver-
age height, with dark hair and red mus-
tache, weighing about 160 pounds, apparent-
ly 24 years of age, roughly clad In red over-
alls and blue check shirt. There was noth-
ing about his clothes to identify him, but
from sears on his hands he is supposed to
be Tom Woodruff, a fisherman residing near
Calvert. The- body had been in the river
nine or ten days, and was in such a condi-
tion thai it was buried when taken from
the water.

A Broken Leg*.
Taylor, Tex,, May 10.—While out horse-
back riding H. F. Adams of this city was
thrown from his suddle and sustained a
broken leg.
Waco, Tex., May 15.—The grave in which
ex-Senator Richard Coke will be laid to
rest to-morrow is located in the Coke di-
vision of Oakwood cemetery. Druid oak
trees and laurel trees grow around it and
roses are plentiful among the graves made
there long ago.
In this division the senator buried his
son Jack, who died seventeen years ago.
On Jack's grave is a white marble monu-
ment bearing an epitaph the father penned:
"Sacred to the Memory of Jack Coke.
Born July 27, ISO".
"Died June 5, 1880."
"A devoted son, a steadfast friend, an
honest man. None knew him but to love
him. None named him but to praise."
Jack Coke was very dear to his father.
His death was a great blow. The vases on
the mound beneath which the son sleeps
have been kept filled with flowers con-
stantly by the devoted parents.
A handful of flowers which the senator
gathered the day before the fatal paralysis
manifested itself in aggravated form and
p.aeed on Jack's grave were there to-day,
withered but beautiful. It was the sen-
ator's last visit to his son Jack's grave
that he made when he put the flowers there
and to-day his own grave was dug just
east of that in which his son has been
sleeping for nearly two decades.
The other graves in the Coke lot are
those of the two baby girls, both of whom
have been constantly and tenderly remem-
bered by the parents. Their graves are
also under tasteful marble with artistic
carvings and endearing epitaphs. "Our
Babies'" appears on the upper slab of their
marble mausoleum, which is inscribed
"Ama E. Coke, born January 29, 1850, died
December 31, 1856. Mary V. Coke, born
April y, 1861, <ied November 11, ist>2. An
angel called them."
Senator Coke's grave, which was pre-
pared to-day. has been lined with brick,
laid in cement, the walls being more than
a 1 cot thick. After the coffin is lowered
the grave will be arched over and the cof-
fin will thus be staled up in a water and
air tight vault, underground, above which
the mcnument will be raised.
The men who did the work of embalming
made a perfect Success of the undertaking.
The expression is perfectly preserved.
Every feature is present, just as in life.
The face denotes the strength of self-confi-
dence for which the senator was noted.
But the chemicals have transformed the
fltsh into stone almost, and the bodv looks
like It would last for all time to come. This
will probably be the case, for In the alu-
minum casket, sealed within hermetically
tight walls, a body so embalmed can scarce-
ly perish, even in centuries.
To-morrow morning the body will be
moved from the residence to the taber-
nacle, which was prepared to-day for the
funeral. In this tabernacle the state Ep-
worth league met this week, more than
30(X» strong. It 1.9 the most commodious
auditorium in Waco, but it is certain it
can not contain the multitude who will
turn out to the funeral of Senator Coke.
The two sides of the tabernacle which open
on the university grounds have a great
many large windows and doors, and by
keeping them open the services can be
heard by people under the trees, for whom
s<f i • will be provided near the windows.
i :»e platform has been draped in white
and black and the ceiling is hung with
black.
The Imposing obsequies are taking shape
from outward pressure, and the arrange-
ments have been revised from time to time
to suit the ever increasing pressure of the
Texas people who are coming here already
from a.l pats, intending to show the esteem
in which Senator Coke was held. Many
distinguished names are on the hotel regis-
ters.
To-day a list of pallbearers was given
out by the family as follows:
John H. Reagan. Joe Abbott, L. S. Ross,
C. K. Bell. James S. Hogg. W. L. Cabell,
W. L. Moody. Charles Culberson. R. H.
Harrison. D. R.-Wallace, Tom Moore, M. D.
Herring. W. L. Radney, E. Rotan, John H.
Harrison and C. B. Pearre.
The old soldiers who served with Senator
Coke in the war have claimed a place in the
procession, which will reach proportions
never before seen in a Waco funeral.
The people of Waco held a mass meeting
this afternoon in the city hall and many
eulogistic speeches were made by old
friends of the ex-senator. There were many
gray heads in the gathering—.men who have
been his neighbors from the days of his
youth in Texas. Among them Dr. Tom
Moore, who was one of the escort to Austin
at the first inaugural, when he was in-
stalled as governor In 1873. Dr. Moore was
elected chairman of the meeting and Wm.
Lambdln, who printed law cards for sena-
tor Coke thirty years ago, was elected
secretary.
It was a striking gathering. In the hall
in which the meeting was held Senator
Coke has often addressed the same people
who gathered there this afternoon to pay
tribute to his memory. It was determined
to adopt suitable expressions coming from
the people of Waco, and a committee con-
sisting of H. W. Brown, J. C. Stephenson,
J. D. Shaw. P. S. Ross and Dr. S. A. King
was appointed to write the resolutions in
accord with the sense of the meeting as
expressed in the addresses. The citizens
will assemble again to take other steps in
honor of the dead.
Mrs. Coke received many letters and tel-
egrams to-day from all parts, among them
one from Hon. C. B. Kilgore, federal judge
at Ardmore. I. T.. saying: ^'My family
joins with me in a message of sympathy
and condolence in your great bereavement."
The floral tributes sent In to-day were
enough to fill a room and some of the de-
signs possess extraordinary beauty and
taste. This is the rose month in centrall
Texas and some of the rarest roses were
in the wreaths and crosses. The watchers
sprayed the flowers to keep them fresh for
the funeral to-morrow.
The legislative delegation arrived to-night.
Ex-Governor Ross and Hon. O. K. Bell came
on the afternoon train.
The veteran soldiers of the union army
located at Waco held a meeting this after-
noon and look steps to do honor to the
memory of t he deceased.
The remains are at the residence to-night,
the glittering casket covered with flowers.
A special escort will convey the coffin to the
tabernacle to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock,
where the public will have one hour to view
the remains before the funeral, which will
begin at 10 a. m. under the arrangements
given in The News to-day.
The following were among the telegrams
received:

HcMolntioaK i»y Utilization Committee.
A special meeting of the deep water utili-
zation committee was yesterday held in
the Galveston cotton exchange. Colonel
W. L. Moody was called to the chair and
Major A. J. Walker acted as secretary.
The object of the meeting was to express
the sense of the committee upon the death
of Hon. Richard Coke. • The following was
submitted and unanimously adopted.
The weeping and mourning of family
and kindred, and of others close and dear,
deepen this day the gloom of the death
chamber of Richard Coke, the husband,
father, kinsman, friend: for in each such
relation his life forged chains of confidence
and love that hold, despite the mortal
stroke, and make his loss a personal sor-
row.
Those not within the circle of these
nearer affinities may not intrude upon the
privacy of such grief; but from full hearts,
conscious that it is a public misfortune,
all bewail the passing of Richard Coke—
the soldier, citizen, judge, governor, sena-
tor—who ever strove, with courage, ca-
pacity and honor, to exalt the great state
that trusted and loved him, and to win
advancement and prosperity for its people.
In a peculiar sense are the people ol Gal-
veston indebted to the wise and persistent
labors of the dead statesman, which re-
sulted in opening the gates of their city
to the ocean, and in raising up for them
and their fellow citizens of Texas friends
in distant and unknown lands: and we
would feign record this acknowledgment
of an obligation which the years can not
dim. and render this brief tribute to the
character and memory of him by whose
skill and constancy that obligation was im-
posed.

THE REFORM PRESS.
The Association Issues an Address to
the Populists.
Lampasas, Lampasas Co., Tex., May 11.—
Address of the reform press to the populists
everywhere: The Reform press association
of Texas, assembled at the place where the
first Farmer's alliance in the United States
was organized some twenty years ago, sends
greeting to the populists of Texas and con-
gratulates them upon the success which has
attended the promulgation of the principles
first set forth by those sterling yeomen on
this hostoric ground—principles which gave
birth to the people' party and which have
permeated the whole nation and awakened
the spirit of patriotism from the lakes to
the gulf and from ocean to ocean to a de-
gree hitherto unparalleled in the history of
nations.
Never since the day of its birth has the
record of the people's party in Texas been
polluted by the foul blot of fusion. In every
campaign we have put out a straight popu-
list ticket for national, state and minor of-
fices. in the campaign of the year just
closed we polled a larger vote for Bryan
and Watson than all the other states com-
bined.
In demanding straight people's party nom-
inees we have voiced the honest sentiment
of all people in Texas who sympathize with
onr principles.
We indorse the action of the National Re-
form press association in providing for the
Nashville delegate conference July 4, 1897, In
the adoption of the initiative and referen-
dum in its own government, and for reaf-
firming the Omana declarations, opposing
office-holders being delegates to party con-
ventions and opposing proxy representation
in any of our meetings.
We indorse the action of our state chair-
man In calling mass meetings throughout
the state for arranging representation at
the national conference, and suggest that
precinct meetings be held throughout the
state on May 22, and to the end that county
meetings may be representative, we recom-
mend that in all future meetings of popu-
lists the basis of representation be fixed on
the actual populist vote of record.
We recommend that at each state populist
convention held next year and every two
years thereafter, that three members of the
national populist committee be elected to
serve for the succeeding two years.
Realizing that confidence in a republican
form of government can never be restored
by the methods which have hitherto pre-
vailed in all the political parties in this na-
tion, we recommend the careful investiga-
tion, earnest consideration and adoption, by
populists, as well as by all other advocates
of a people's government, of the system of
political management known as direct legis-
lation, embracing the initiative and referen-
dum and Imperative mandate.
In submitting this method to the people
we still adhere to every principle hitherto
enunciated in our platform, and rely with
the fullest assurance upon the absolute cer-
tainty that by its adoption by a majority of
the people. In government as well as In po-
litical affairs, every needed reform may be
secured, and the shackles of financial and
Industrial slavery stricken from our people.
An honest press being recognized as the
most potent Influence for correctly educat-
ing the people, we urge every member of
this organization to continue to present
those political truths which will awaken the
people to the importance of united effort
and harmonious action.

COTTON MILLS TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Turner Waived Examination and
A\ as Heinuaded.
Dallas, Tex.. May 15.—There were no new
developments In the cotton mill cutting af-
fray to-day. Mrs. S. C. Turner, who carved
and slashed the two daughters of J. F. Hul-
sey, waived examination and was remanded
to jail to await the results of the injuries
Inflicted. At 11 o'clock to-night word was
received at the police station that Miss Ma-
bel Henrietta Htilsey was slowly sinking
and could not possibly live till to-morrow
morning.
The condition of Mrs. Lee Bennett was re-
ported unchanged.
Miraculous Escape.
Denlson, Tex., May 14.—Engineer Pete
McCarthy, who was in the freight wreck
at Eufaulu, 1. T., yesterday afternoon, re-
turned to Denlson this morning on No. 3.
Mr. McCarthy was on the engine drawing
the train when It left the track, and he
stands a living example of the fact that
miracles happen these days. It is nothing
short of miraculous that he escaped with
his life. He states that his engine was mak-
ing about twenty miles* an hour, rounding
a curve about a mile north of Eufaula. The
rails spread, the engine turned over, clear-
ing the track in turning, and went down
the dump, falling on its back, sticking the
sand dome and whistle into the mud. Mc-
Carthy escaped with slight injuries.
Brakeman Raynsford and Fireman Overly
were sent to the hospital at Sedalla on
train No. 2 last night. Both are seriously
injured and may die, Raynsford's case be-
ing the most serious. All the trainmen In
the wreck reside in Denlson.
From parties down from Eufaula this af-
ternoon it is learned that Brakeman Rayns-
ford is so badly Injured that he will die,
and that Fireman Overly Is very seriously
hurt, and may not recover. The cattleman
Injured is also in a precarious condition,
and the chances are against his recovery.
Found Dead.
Kansas City, Mo., May 15.—Siegmund
Cahn, aged 62 years, an old resident and
well to do real estate man, was found dead
in his office to-day, having been asphyx-
iated. He had been drinking heavily for the
past week and had evidently turned on the
gas with suicidal intent. Cahn was a
brother-in-law to Louis Hammerslaugh, a
retired merchant, and leaves a wife and
two children.

Berlin, May IS.—(Copyright, 1897, by the
Associated Press.)—The correspondent in
this city of the Associated Press is relia-
bly informed that during the past week a
definite understanding was perfected by
which the cabinets of Germany, France and
Russia will scon reach the solution of the
Egypt and Transvaal questions, and this
will be done systematically in an anti-Brit-
ish sense. As soon as the Graeco-Turkish
trouble Is ended the subject will be jointly
taken up unless Great Britain In the mean-
time precipitates matters, in which case
she will encounter the united hostility of
the three continental powers. The ultimate
object of tho agreement is to force the
evacuation of Egypt and the nullification
of the Pretoria convention of 1886, and to
put the Transvaal upon a perfectly Inde-
pendent basis.
France, in the settlement of the peace
conditions with Greece, will persistently
side with Russia and Germany in spite of
the strong current of public opinion to the
contrary.
Both the bills proposed by the imperial
chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe, one reform-
ing the right of association and the other
reforming the military trials procedure,
are understood to have secured imperial
approval, and the cabinet crisis is con-
sidered to have been adjusted for the
time. The reichstag and diet, however, will
hardly pass these measures this session,
being tired out and anxious to adjourn at
the end of the coming week. Besides,
in the diet the bills will meet
violent opposition owing to the agreement
reached between the emperor and officers
of the German colonial society, of which
Duke Albrecht of Mecklenberg is president,
that at the annual meeting in June at Mu-
nish a resolution wid be passed to launch a
thorough agitation throughout Germany in
favor of enlarging the Germany navy, the
aim being to equal in strength the navy of
Russia and to have a navy two-thirds the
side of that of France. Mass meetings will
be organized everywhere for this purpose,
and the press will be utilized. It will be
further proposed to make the naval appro-
priation of the reicustag quinquennial, like
those of the army. Several political meet-
ings on the subject have already been held.
During hos sojourn at the Chateau Ur-
ville, ntar Melz, this week. Emperor Will-
iam was present at a big sham light in the
district of Gravelott and Moulins. Several
divisions were engaged. During the opera-
tions snow fell fast, but the emperor, the
empress and Prince Adelbert, third sen of
their majesties, watched the military move-
ments throughout on horseback, without
wraps. The emperor also inspected tho
sites in the vicinity of Metz. upon which a
number cf new advanced forts will be built,
lie insisted in one instance on a change of
location.
His majesty on his way to Wiesbaden
paid a short visit to Strasbury to-day. The
church bells were pealed and salvos of ar-
tillery were fired. He was received at the
railroad station by Prince Hohenlohe-Lan-
genburg, the governor of Alsace-Lorraine,
accompanied by the princess, his wife. The
empress, who was with him on this occa-
sion, was heartily cheered by the people,
and they were escorted to the governor's
palace by a 'detachment of mounted rifles,
the emperor driving with Prince Hohenlohe-
Langenburg, and the empress occupying the
carriage with the princess. After lunch
their majesties proceeded to Wiesbaden.
A high treason trial In the imperial court
at Leipsic this week brought out a num-
ber of sensational details. Depotmaster
Melnecke of the artillery of Mentz was
shown to have been for years past in close
connection with French spies, especially
with the French police commissioner, Is-
mert, and a coal dealer named Hanne of
Montlgny, to whom Melnecke sold all sorts
of valuable material, such as new types of
shells, fuseji, bullets used with the new
rifles and lists of the plans for equipment
and mobilization. Melnecke made enough
money by this means to retire recently
from the army and live on the interest of
the proceeds of his rascality. He was sen-
tenced to six years and three months at
hard labor, with loss of civic honor for ten
years. Two of the witnesses against Meln-
ecke were high officers of the ministry of
war. who obtained proofs of his guilt
through a Paris correspondent.
A Murder or Suicide.
Milwaukee, Wis., May 15.—The dead body
of N. B. Clark of Grand Rapids. Mich., a
member of the Michigan bank and lumber
company, was found on one of the resi-
dence streets along the lake shore this
morning. There were two bullet wounds
and a revolver was found at his side. Dia-
monds and jewelry were, found on his per-
son. but no money. The location of the
wounds make it rather doubtful whether
it was a case of suicide. When Clark left
his hotel last evening he said he was going
for a walk. He was 50 years old.
Tt is believed Clark was the victim of
thugs, as one bullet entered his back and
his own revolver has been found In his
valise. The Masonic fraternity, of which
Clark was a popular member, will probe
the mystery to the bottom and bring the
murderer to justice If possible. The body
was found In the rear of the Ivanhoe flat's
apartment building, near the Northwestern
depot'. Clark was known in Milwaukee as
the "Bark King of Michigan," and fur-
nished tanners here with a large amount
of bark.
Ilank Indictments.
Chicago. 111., May 15.—The special grand
jury which has been investigating the af-
fairs of the grain Inspector's office, the
Globe savings bank and the private bank-
ing firm of E. S. Drever & Co. which went

of Illinois several months ago. voted in-
dictments this afternoon against E. S.
Dreyer. Robert Yerger, Dreyer's partner,
Carl Moll, ex-cashler of the National bank
of Illinois, and Adolph Nissen. The indict-
ments against E. S. Dreyer charge him
with the embezzlement of $340,000 West Park
board funds, receiving deposits after know-
ing that the bank was insolvent, ami ob-
taining money under false pretenses on
mortgage deals. Yerger Is charged with re-
ceiving deposits, knowing the bank to be In-
solvent and obtaining money under false
pretenses, and Moll with illegal deposits of
public funds.
Injured in a Collision.
Meridian, Miss., May 15.—A south bound
mall and a north bound excursion train on
tho Alabama Great Southern railway col-
lided on a curve near Hulls, Ala., this after-
noon. Six persons were more or less seri-
ously injured, as follows: W. N. Griffin.
Samuel Crawford. Joseph Heed. Albert Har-
ris. Joseph Peyton, all of Meridian; Milliard
Alpine of Eutaw, Ala. The engines and bag-
gaie cars were d< mollshed. The engineer
and firemen escaped injury by jumping.
Verdict of Manslaughter.
Owingsville, Ky., May 15.—The jury In the
case of John D. Young, jr., for the killing
of Cliney Fossett. after being out about
eighteen hours, returned a verdict of man-
slaughter and fixed his punishment at
eighteen years In the penitentiary. An ap-
plication for a new trial will be made, and
if this falls the case will be taken to the
court of appeals. Young 1s a son of Hon.
John D. Young and is connected with one
of the most prominent families of the state.
A Spanish Journal's Views.
Madrid, May 15.—The Heraldo, referring
to the possible action of the United States
for the relief of Americans in Suba, says
the Spanish government will have univer-
sal opinion on its side if it acts with en-
ergy in repelling American interference in
its. affairs, but this opinion wlil be hostile
unless the government ceases making v-on-
cessiona. These displays of weakness, if
they do not increase the difficulty of solv-
ing the question, certainly do not improve
the situation in Cuba.
The Correspondent announces that the
Hard Feeling' Between Tliut Country
anil Japan.
New York, May 15.—The Herald to-day
publishes the following correspondence
from Seoul, Korea:
There is no little hard feeling at present
between Korea and Japan, and this for two
reasons. In the first place, the two chief
foreign counselors of the Korean cabinet,
General Charles Legendry and former Con-
| sul General Great house—both American eit-
| Izens, by the way—have advised the cabi-
net to keep as far as possible from any en-
tanglement with either Japan or a conti-
nental power—entanglement in the sense, of
over-hasty concessions, contracts or the
like. The result is that, that repeatedly
half promising Japan to let her build the
first railways in the kingdom, an American
syndicate, represented by Mr. T. Coleman of
Denver, has not only obtained the contract
for the railroad, and will practically own It,
but has commenced the work of this novel
twenty-five miles of railway and will finish
It within the year. Moreover, it is an open
secret that this is merely the beginning.
1 The syndicate proposes to build altogether
300 to 500 miles of line within the next five
years, between the seaports of Fusan and
Inchhon. the capital; then northward over
a very easy country to Phyong-An-Do. the
most fertile and wealthiest of the Korean
provinces. This has given great umbrage
to Japan, as one of Count Inouye's special
missions was directed toward getting the
concession for these lines. In fact. Japan
has made this concession in remitting a
part of Korea's old indebtedness to herself
and In making the first loan of 3,000,000 yen,
or $1,500,000 United States gold. It is at the
same time understood that Japan can not
give full vent to her wrath, because of the
necessity of keeping the United States in
good humor at the present moment. It
seems quite evident that Japan has lost con-
trol over Korea, and much of the main re-
sult of her war with China has thus been
forfeited.
There is another factor in this feeling of
dissatisfaction. The present Korean cabi-
net is far and away the best ever brought
together. Its members are without excep-
tion progressive and ardent advocates of
the New Korea movement. Former Vice
Minister of Education and Communications
Sang Ho. who was given just before his
departure an honorary colonelcy in the
Royal guards—not yet one full regiment in
the strength—Is a great favorite with the
president of the cabinet and of the leading
spirits in the new popular reform agitation.
He. like his fellcw thinkers.-4s anything
rather than pro-Japanese. Now Korea is
desirous of entering the postal union, and
this step Japan again views with disfavor,
it is said, urging that 1t would be both un-
timely and absurd. There Is nothing to be
feared on the part of Japan in all this, and
the Koreans are jubilant on the strength of
it. But Crown Prince Wl-Hwa is still on
Japanese soil and finds unexpected obsta-
cles put in-his path whenever he thinks of
returning. Loyal Koreans are most anx-
ious to see this hope of the progressive par-
ty once again in Seoul.
