SPECIAL LONDON LETTER.
BUFFALO BILL CAPTURES THE BRITONS
The Success of the American Exhibition—First
American Club Dinner-Westminster
Abbey-Lonsdale's Lawsuit.
iONBON, June 3.—Unless you have been
Jn London on one of these occasions, you
will find it very hard to realize what a bank
holiday is like. The better class of people,
as far as possible, either get out of town or
keep themselves well within doors, while
the entire population of the lower classes
turn out into the streets in gay attire, and
make the best of their way to places of pop
nlar amusement. The streets are thronged
With 'Arry's and 'Arriet's. The mob, how
ever, is fairly good-natured, but rather
inclined for hooting and occasional horse
play. The underground railroads, the tram
ways and 'buses are simply loaded down
with people of this class, until they look
like lumps of sugar covered with flies. I
spent the day at the American exhioitian,
where there was considerable anxiety dis-
played by the officials, not only in regard
to the number of shillings they were going
to receive, but as to the result of their first
experiment in handling an overwhelming
crowd, and it may be just as well to say
right here that under the direction of the
director-general (Mr. John R. Whitley), the
arrangements were so carefully made, and
so judiciously carried out by Mr. Frederick
C. Pen Held (late United States vice-consul),
who was the officer of the day, assisted by
Mr. Townsend Percy and Captain L. H.
Bkinner (late of the Seventh Royal Fusil'
iers), that
only one case op drunkenness
was reported during the day, and not the
slightest accident of any kind occurred
The doors were opened as early as !
o'clock—two hours before the usual time;
and even at that hour crowds of people
were awaiting admission. There were three
performances given by the Wild West—at
11, 3 and 8 o'clock, and long before the
opening hour every seat In the grand 1st an!
and all the standing room was thronged by
the mob, as closely packed as they could
possibly sit or stand. In order to get still
further, or better views, they invaded the
arena, and climbed up on the mound form-
ing the rock piece at the back; even the
electric light support was covered with
boys almost to the top.
The peculiar location of the grounds,
which are in three sections, connected by
two large bridges, made it very difficult to
Dandle the people.
When 2 o'clock came the turnstiles
showed that over 40.000 people had already
passed through, and every approach to the
grounds was crowded with a dense ma3s of
humanity. At 3 o'clock some alarmist
rushed into the executive offices with a false
statement that a riot was in progress at the
Warwick road entrance. Jumping into a
carriage the officer and assistants were
soon on the spot, it being impossible to
reach any entrance from any part of the
building under an hour, and they were
compelled to go around the outside and
make a detour of the grounds. It was ob
Vious on arrival that there was
no disposition iron a riot.
The people were so firmly wedged in that
to admit any more was to endanger the
suffocation of somebody. Under these cir
cumstances it was deemed advisable to or-
der the gates at Warwick road and in the
Liilie road, which leads into th9 Wild
West ground?, to be immediately closed.
Those who were thut out immediately made
a rush at once for the main entrance, where
they stormed the doors. They were passed
in as rapidly as possible until the main
building was packed right up the turn-
stiles, when it became necessary at 3 30 to
order these doors to be closed as well, and
they were kept so for nearly half an hour.
This fact was immediately telegraphed all
over London and undoubtedly prevented
80,000 more people from making a journey
to the grounds, with the possibility of being
denied admission on their arrival. A con
tinuous concert was given during the day
by four military bands, viz: the Grenadier
Guards band, the Royal Horse Guards
(blue) band, the Hungarian National band
and the Cow-boy band.
It was really a marvellous sight to view
the sea of heads from any point of advant-
age in the grounds. By passine through
the Etables of the Wild West I obtained a
view from a peep through the scenery of the
grand stand just as
buffalo bill made his entrance,
and the roar of applause and the shout of
delight which greeted his appearance from
40,000 people was like the roar of the sea.
From the bridge, going to the gardens,
the bright costumes and gaudy bonnet3 of
the women reminded one of a vast flower
garden of poppies and daises, while from
the platform at the main entrance the view
down the four aisles of the exhibition
showed an equal populace and busy sight.
It was with a feeling of great relief when
the last of them went safely out of the
building shortly before midnight and the
doors closed, and an armed guard mounted
over the vast sum of coin which had been
taken in during the day. As I have said be-
fore that while nearly 100,000 people were
present, not a single accident of any kind
occurred, and had the place been able to
accommodate them, and had it not been
necessary to close the doors, it is probable
that 150,000 people would have visited the
exhibition.
When one thinks that this is equal to the
whole populace, men, women and children,
of a large city, some idea can be formed of
how great a success the exhibition has
proved. Monsieur Bartholdi's diorama of
New York harbor, which was opened for
the first time on Monday, was visited by
over 5000 people.
first american club dinner.
On Sunday night the first dinner of the
Colombia club, the first American club
ever instituted in Europe, was givenfat the
club-house, Mr. Thomas Burnside being in
the chair. Speeches were made by Mr.
John R. Whitley, director-general of the
exhibition; Buffalo Bill (Colonel W. F
Cody), who convulsed the audience by hu-
morous tales of western life; Mr. E. A
Perry of the Boston Herald, Mr. Harry A
Marsh, late of the New York World, now
editor and proprietor of the Financial
News, and Townsend Percy, F. R. G. S.,
honorary secretary of the club. The party
broke up late after a most enjoyable even-
ing. The club has been made by the com-
mittee free headquarters in Loudon for
members of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic, the Loyal Legion, and the New York
Seventh regiment.
On Wednesday afternoon "Buck Taylor,"
the "King of the Cowboys," met with a
painful and distressing accident. During
the dancing of the quadrille on horseback
he was suddenly seized with vertigo, and
losing control of his horse he was thrown
roughly againBt the iron cantie of the sad-
dle of one of the ladies, and the horse
swerving threw him heavily on the ground.
He attempted to arise, but fell back with a
cry of pain, and on being picked up it was
discovered that he had sustained a fracture
of the thigh bone. He was removed to the
West London hospital, where his case is
progressing favorably.
the influx of americans
Into London increases every week, and
everybody is naturally going to stay for the
queen's jubilee. The rush for tickets to the
Westminster abbey on the occasion of the
thanksgiving services Is something fright-
ful, but there are very few who will suc-
ceed in getting any. Only thirty places
have been set aside for the press, and for
these 6eats there are over one thousand ap
plicants.
Advantageous places to yiew the proces-
sion'are selling readily at from $15 to $25
each.
Rapid progress is being made in prepar-
ing Westminster abbey for the thanksgiv-
ing service on the 21st instant, and yester-
day the work, which has kept several hun-
dred men busy for the last three weeks,
had so far advanced that two of the main
galleries were tried for strength and sta-
bility. The structures withstood the test
satisfactorily, no evidence of weakness be-
ing shown when 350 men ran along them,
and stamped at intervals. An idea of the
extent of the task to be accomplished may
be inferred when it is stated that the length
of the abbey to be fixed with galleries fitted
with seats is 360 feet, and the width for the
greater part of the length is 73 feet, while
in some places the tiers of galleries run up
80 feet in height. Besides these, there are
200 feet of stands extending across the
transept. Outside the west door,
the principal entrance
to the abbey, and through which the queen
and the royal visitors will pass, there will
be erected a spacious marquee, and the
awning will extend from chisjto the roadway,
Her majesty and the royal personages will,
on arrival, pass to the marquee, which will
serve as a reception chamber, and
in which the great officers of
state will marshal the procession
into the labbey. The proposed time
for her majesty's arrival at the abbey is 12
o'clock, but this is subject to alteration.
Above the entrance to the corridor, facing
the sacrarium, are the largest galleries,
comprising four tiers of seats, each tier
having about ten rows of seats. On either
side of the nave extending to the organ gal-
lery there will be three tiers of seats, the
first rising from the ground, the second
ftom the level about fifteen feet above the
floor, and the highest seats rising to the
arches of the windows. In the center of the
choir, immediately under the lantern, a
grand dais has been erected, upon which
her majesty will be seated in the corona
tion chair. In the south transept there are
two immense galleries, capable of seating
a very large number of persons. The seats
from the ground to the first tier are to be
allotted to peers and their wives, and im
mediately to the right and left the etabas
sadors and the diplomatic circle generally
will be seated. In the north transept there
are a like number of galleries and seats as
in the south transept, and the ground plat-
form has been appropriated to the members
of the house of commons.
among the illustrious persona 3bs
who will shortly arrive in this country for
the celebration are the King and Queen of
the Belgians,the King of Denmark, the King
of Greece, the King of Saxony, the Crown
Prince and Princess of Germany, the Grand
Duke of Hesse, the Crown Prince of Aus-
tria, the Crown Prince and Princess of Por
tugal, the Grand Duke Serge of Russia and
the Crown Prince of Sweden. Her majesty,
who comes to town on the afternoon of the
20th instant, will entertain the King and
Queen of the Belgians, the King of Saxony,
tee Crown Prince and Princess of "Ger-
many and other distinguished guests at
Buckingham palace, and the King of Den
mark and the King of Greece will stay with
the Prince and Princess of W ales at Marl
borough house.
Lord Lonsdale's romantic theatrical en'
terprise would, doubtless, be agreeable
enough to himself if he could steer clear of
legal annoyances. His lordship should ro
member how vexatious and unfortunate
law suits have been to his family on sev-
eral occasions. Nearly 100 years ago his
ancestor, in pursuit of a vein of coal, had
the misfortune to undermine a number of
houses belonging to a Mr. Littledale of
Whitehaven, the consequence of which wa3
a law suit at Carlisle, ending in a verdict
with damages against his lordship and the
illumination of town and neighborhood. In
retaliation Lord Lonsdale
closed his coalworks,
end determined not to open them again
until he had full liberty to undermine any
houses that should impudently stand in the
way of his coal for the future. This pro-
duced the celebrated Commiserating Epis-
tle to Lord Lonsdale, which began thus:
"What thlnk'st thou, Lonsdale, that the world
will say,
Of this cursed verdict at Carlisle to day?"
Little Miss , whose symmetry of figure
the public are nightly given ample oppor-
tunity of noting at the theater, has a
mamma who sometimes uses a bigger word
than she knows the meaning of. The other
day at a benefit matinee a friend leant over
and said to her: "Your daughter is not
looking well to-day. Isn't she very deli-
cater" "Delicatel"' cried the dame in tones
that were audible throughout the whole of
the stalls, "not a bit of it. There isn't a
girl on the stage as indelicate as my daugh-
ter is." _

was aroused to the lynching point.
A IEKEIBLE FALL.
Mine Men Precipitated from a BcaBold—Two
Fatally Injured.
Dallas, Tex., June 23.—This afternoon,
wbile nine rivetcutters were engaged in
taking down a water tower, the scaffold
gave way, precipitating them to the ground,
a distance of 25 feet. Henry McPutchen,
formerly a locomotive engineer on tho
Santa Fe, and Charley Purcell, a boiler-
maker, were probably fatally injured, their
skulls being fractured and braius oozing
out. The other men escaped with scratches.
Electric Kotor on Street Cars.

Key West, Fla,, June 23,—There has
been one new case of yellow fever since
yesterday, and two deaths have occurred.
THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
TEXT OF JUDGE PARDEE'S DECISION.
Other Railroad News Items of More or Less
General Interest—New Roads Pro-
jected in Texas.
Dallas, Tex., Jnne 23.—The full text of
Jndge Pardee's ruling in the petition of the
receivers of the Texas and Pacific railroad
as to the fourth section of the interstate
commerce law is as follows:
In the matter of the receivers praying
for advice in relation to the construction of
the fourth section of the interstate com
merce act. [United States £ircuit
Court, Eastern district of Louisiana,
Missouri Pacific Railway company vs.
Texas and ' Pacific Railway company.]
In the matter of the petition of
receivers for advice in relation
to the construction of the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act, the petition
of the receivers of May 23, the evidence and
report of the special master and the argu-
ments have been carefully considered. Tue
nature of the matters presented precludes
anything beyond an ex parte consideration.
The receivers of the Texas and Pacific
railway, operating its lines of railway
under the general direction of the
court, can have general advice and
instruction on application to the court. The
value of such advice depends. If there are
parties in interest, and they have their day
in court, the advice may be decisive, but if
the matter is ex parte the value of the ad
vice depends largely upon the information
and ability of the judge, and is probably
binding only on the receivers,
for the judge may change his mind on hear-
ing the full argument. Under section 4 of
the interstate law, relative to the long and
short haul, it seems that where the circum-
stances and conditions are dissimilar there
is no prohibition; where the circumstances
and conditions are similar prohibition at-
taches, and that where it is
difficult to point out clearly the
circumstances or conditions which pro-
duces the dissimilarity, that the doubt
should go in favor of the object of the law,
and circumstances and conditions should
be taken as substantially similar. Where
the circumstances and conditions are simi-
lar or substantially so, and the result to the
carriers is injurious, relief can only be had
through the commission.
The bulk of tho petition presented of the
evidence and of the master's report is an
argument against the interstate commerce
act, and a rather vivid showing of tho dis-
astrous effects of an enforcement of the act
with the popular construction given of the
long and short haul clause, so
far as the lines of the Texas
and Pacific railway are concerned, and if
any specific question is presented for the
answer of the court it is whether compe-
tition between carriers is a circumstance
or condition of the carriage in the sense in
which these words are used in
the fourth section of said law. The
cffect of the enforcement of the
Jaw upon the particular property in
the hands of the receivers need not be con
sidered when the whole question is one of
how to comply with the law. That compe
tition—the life of trade—cuts an important
figure in conditions and circumstances at-
tendant upon transportation of property
and passengers, can not well be overlooked
nor denied. Nor can it well be denied that
as between the short and long haul compe
tition may exist to that extent that what
would otherwise be similar circumstances
and conditions would be dissimilar circum-
stances and conditions.
Whether in any particular case there is
that competition on the long haul that
would justify a lower charge for the long
haul than as charged for a short
haul under otherwise simitar circum-
stances and conditions, must be deter-
mined on the facts of a particular clause.
Keeping in mind that where the matter is
not clear the object and policy of the law
should prevail. As to competition and its
effects and generally as to the questions
under the said interstate commerce act, the
receivers are referred to the late decision
of the commission upon the petition of
the Louisville and Nashville road
and other railroads, rendered June 10, in-
stant. The decision is elaborate and well
considered, and answers all the points made
by the receiver's petition herein as spe-
cifically as.their general nature will per-
mit. The lights furnished by the commis-
sion with a disposition to enforce the law,
when giving the same an enlight
ened and liberal construction, to
the end that the mischiefs at
which the law Is armed may be eradicated
without unnecessary injustice to any
species of property, ought to be sufficient
to guide any railroad traffic manager and
to enable him to protect himself and com-
pany against any serious complaint of un-
just discrimination or unlawful conduct.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
waco wide awake.
Waco, Tex., June 23.—Major B. F. Wa-
then, chief engineer of the Missouri Pa-
cific railway, was iu the city yesterday, and
through him it was learned that his com-
pany have in contemplation the building of
two more roads from Waco, one to run east
by south to Trinity Station, on the Great
Northern railway. Connection will be
made at that point with the
road running directly east to Colmes-
neil, in Tyler county, the ter-
minus of the Sabine Pass and
East Texas, road which crosses the Texas
and New Orleans at Beaumont. With the
road completed from Waco to Trinity Sta-
tion it will make a route to New Orleans
even with changes more direct than via
Houston, but it is understood the Mfssouri
Pacific company intends to build from Col-
mesneil on through eastern Texas and
western Louisiana perhaps to Alexandria
or Opelousas and connect with the New Or-
leans Pacific at one of these points. Such
a road would pass through a country unoc-
cupied by railroads ana the finest timber
region in the world.
The other road suggested by Major
Wathen will run down the Brazos bottom
from this city to Brenham.
Acting on the ideas gotten from Major
Wathen, a committee of citizens assembled
and discussed tho advantages of the twj
roads named above. While Major Wathen
is chief engineer of the Missouri Pacific
road, he did not speak officially, but he
gave the citizens to understand that if they
would offer proper inducements the road
will be built, and a committee of fifteen
will guarantee their full aid and support to
further the move. The subscription list of
5 per eent of real estate in the city has al-
ready been numerously signed and a large
amount of money realized, and Waco can
now offer inducements to anyroad that wilt
make a reasonable proposition to build a
road to the city.
1 receivers and lawyers compensated.
In the United States Circuit Court to-day
Judges Brewer and Thayer declined to take
final action in the matter of compensation
to tho receivers and lawyers of the Wa-
bash railroad. They made an allowance,
however, of $25,000 to each of the receivers
on account of personal services and $3000
for monev used in the purchase of rights of
way necessary to the road,and $10,000 to pay
the debts of receivership. This was a sur-
prise to those concerned, but it is believed
thot the court will take further action and
issue a final order at a later day.

Sherman, Tex., June 23.—The bridges at
Cedar and Choctaw creeks, on the St. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas railway, are nearly
completed and will be ready for the rails
as soon as the tracklayers can reach them.
Work still goes on satisfactorily in the •
yards here. Not much uneasiness is occa-
sioned here at the office of construction of
the Sherman and Mount Pleasant over the
report that Gould is to give them trouble
about crossing the Missouri Pacific at
Whitewright.
notes from granbury.
Granbury, Tex., June 23.—The engineer-
inglcorps of the Fort Wo^h and Rio Grande
railroad is now in the field locating a line
from this place via San Angelo to Polo-
bampo. The route will be located as rapid-
ly as possible to the latter place.
At 8.20 p. m. Monday the train on the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande iwhistled for
the first time on the banks of the Brazos
river, on the stone piers, on which the groat
iron bridge will soon be resting. The work
is now in rapid progress.
JEFFERSON DAVIS
Used His Power to Prevent the War—The Re-
turn of the Flags a Violation of
Military Precedent.
Chicago, 111., June 23.—An Inter Ocean
special from Danville, 111., says: The fol-
lowing letter was received to day:
Beal voir, Miss., June 20.—Colonel Pho-
cion Howard, Danville, 111.—Dear Sir: In
answer to your letter of request by the Dan-
ville Farmers' and Merchants' institute
that I should deliver an address at
its fair, I reply as I did last
year. Some years ago I delivered an ad-
dress at the Winnebago county fair, and
was received with great courtesy. There I
was among friends, for my memory went
back to the months of June, July and Au-
gust, 1S32, when, as n lieutenant upon the
staff of Colonel Zach Taylor, I was sta-
tioned at Prairie du Chien, or Fort Craw-
ford, as it was then known, and during
the memorable and historic Black-
hawk war, it was my good fortune to holp
in protecting the pioneer settlers of that
county, whose descendants I spoke to at
Rockford. 1 can not come to Illinois this
year. Thanking the association through
you, 1 have only to say, as I said last
September in an open letter to
Colonel J. T. Scharr of Baltimore, that
I deny the charge made against me by Gen-
eral William T. Sherman, in which he says
I was foremost in encouraging the late war.
I say to you, my dear colonel, that I did all
in my power to prevent the late war, and
that I never looked for or aspired to the
post of chief or executive of the confederate
states.
"I may say that the order of the war de-
partment to return the captured flags of the
late Confederate States was a violation of
all known military precedents. You will
find in my history of the late war that there
were but twenty-six regiments of regu-
lar troops in the army of the
north, and of the total of BG0
confederate flags captured, it is question-
able if these twenty six regiments captured
fifty. The flags were captured by the vol-
unteer army ot the north and belong to the
several states, and have no rignt to be in
the national capital. RespectfuUv yours,
"Jefferson Davis."
FATAL MINE EXPLOSION.
Three Men Killed and as Many More Fatally
Injured—Powder Probably the Cause
of the Frightful Accident.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 23—Great ex-
citement prevailed at Nanticoke this morn-
ing when the news of the accident at No. i
slope of the Susquehanna Coal company
reached the people living in the houses ad-
jacent to the scene of the disaster.
Mine-inspector Williams, who was tele-
graphed for, is now at the slope, and with
General Superintendent Morgan and a res-
cuing party have entered the pit to learn the
cause of the accident. The accident was
caused by the explosion of gas.
At 8 o'clock last night a gang of men who
were engaged In driving a gangway in the
slope entered the mine and this morning
seven, three of them dead, were brought
out by their comrades.
The names of the killed were:
John McAdam, aged 40, leaves a widow
and three small children.
James Kelly, miner, aged 24, single.
Lotzey Vinosky, laborer, aged 23, single.
The badly injured are:
Joseph Lesseps, aged 18, driver boy.
John Lezkoski, aged 19, door tender.
A man named Norman Thomas was
burned, but not fatally.
It is now believed by those at work in the
mine at the time of the acoident that the gas
was set on fire by a powder explosion, as
several kegs are missing from the store-
house. _
The Jacob Sharp Trial.
New York, June 23.—It was half-past 9
this morning in the Court of Oyer and Ter-
miner, and with it came Judge Barrett,who
was anticipated a few minutes by Lawyer
Parsons. Then came Jacob Sharp, with a
cheap blue Japanese fan in his hand and
bis grandchildren at his side, and follow-
ing was Captain Billy Ricketts, with his
well-drilled squad of jurors.
Mr. Foote of the First National bank re-
sumed the stand to tell of the dealing with
Alderman Farley in January, 1883. He
said that this man came and asked the
price of United States registered 4 per
cent bonds, which was told him. He wanted
$10,000, which came to something over $12,-
000 with the premium. He paid for the
bonds in bills of large denominations, tak-
ing them fromhis vest pocket.
A number of witnesses were put on the
stand to prove that the alderman came into
the possession of $100.0 bills as soon as the
Broadway bill was passed.
The prosecution then tried to have the
testimony of Sharp before the senate in-
vestigating committee read, but the de-
fense objected and a long discussion en-
sued.
House ol Refuge Keeper Killed.
New York, June 23.—Moses J. Spaight,
aged 13 years, an inmate of the house of
refuge on Randall's island, last night at 9
o'clock struck his keeper, William Edgar
Cole, with a heavy stick, from the effects of
which Cole died at the Harlem hospital this
morning.
The blow was dealt to enable Speight to
gain possession of the keys and make his
escape with other boys composing a gang
leagued together for that purpose.
When the youthful conspirators discov-
ered that the keeper was seriously injured
their courage deserted them, and they for-
got their attempt to escape and began to
cry for aid. They were soon locked up iu
cells, where they quickly confessed their
plans.
Cora Lee Murder Trial Ended.
Springfield, Mo., June 23.—Cora Lee
and her friends were not present in the
court-room this morning when Judge Bland
called for the jury in her case. Tho fore
man announced they had disagreed aad
there was no possibility of agreeing, where-
upon the jury was discharged.
The jury stood eight for conviction aad
four for acquittal.
This afternoon Cora Lee gave another
bond of $7000. Her sureties represent over
a million dollars.
To-morrow the trial of Emma Malloy, on
an indictment charging her with being ac-
cessory after the fact, comes up. W. F.
Mulloe, judge of the Mansfield district,
will try the case, Judge Hubbard having
been attorney for the state in the case.
Grasshoppers in Minnesota.'
Chicago, 111., June 23.—A St. Paul special
says: Grasshoppers are very thick in the
vicinity of Perham, Ottertail county, and
after careful observation and upon reliable
authority it is stated that 5000 acres of
grain and garden crops have been destroyed
already in the radius of four miles around
Perham. _
