Ifinffl & 1. r.. i iii h J b i i x k .11 I GRAM'S HC Pifty-Pivo Thousand Mon Will March at Now York. THE MASSIVE MAUSOLEUM IS READY SThe AVhlto Sqantlron nd Foreign "Wnr Ves sels Anchored Near by Ocn. Long Btrcot L'ubllahcH ft Grncof ul Trib utes to tho Dead "Warrior. Nnw York, April 27. All day long soldiers of tho regular nrray and na tional guard havo marched through tho handsomely-decorated streets of New York from tho railroad stations and ferry landings to their quarters. Every train has brought notablo peo ple to tho city, among the arrivals be ing President McKinlcy, Vico Presi dent llobart, tho cabinet officers, mem bers of tho diplomatic corps, senators, representatives and governors of states. "Weeks ago it was estimated that 1,000, 000 persons would como to Now York to witness tho parade and ceremonies of dedication of tho tomb, and that number may bo exceeded. Early yes terday tho crowded street cars and ho tels gave proof that a multitude of peo ple had come, although tho suburbs had not yot begun to send their hundreds of thousands. More people will behold to-day's pageant than will see tho queen's show iu London next month, for tho lino of march hero stretches for several miles, and much of tho route is alongside of tho parks and vacant lots, upon which havo been built great stands with cushioned seats, canvas roofs and restaurants, for tho spectators are expected to oc cupy their places for several hours,, irom the timo President McKinley's carriage passes in tho morning until tho last of tho 05,000 men goes by in tho afternoon. In making up the parade, tho grand marshal, Gen. Grenvlllo M. Dodge, has excluded many civic bodies which asked for places and has given room to tho regular militia of the several states and the Grand Army and kindred or ganizations. Tho whito squadron lies in tho North river, opposite tho tomb, and the foreign war vessels aro an chored below. Tho exercises of the lay will be carried out precisely as ar ranged weeks ago. Tho massive mausoleum in Riverside park was completed only a few days ago, and has been handsomely deco rated with flowers and bunting. Tho grounds between tho tomb and tho river are not yot arranged as contem plated. Yesterday huge stands covered the lawns and all the available grounds about the tomb, and tho scene was not impressive, but to-day every foot of ground where a human body could find room was occupied. Gen. Longstrcet especially requested tho Associated press to publish a state ment all written by his own, now somewhat feeble, hand. lie said to the correspondent that it was fitting on such an occasion that he should speak, for ho was with Grant at West Point, served in tho same regiment with him beforo tho war, and oven in troduced him to the woman who be came his wife. The statement, as Gen. Longstreet wrote it, is as follows: It was my good fortuno to know, as few others couukl, that Or nut's heart went out in sympathy far the bravo men and women of tho . Bouth during tho distressing timc of rccon Htructlon, and to old comrndos who followed tho stars and bars of tho south to tho gloom and Klory of Appomattox. I want 'to say Gen. Grant's heart went out to us in all our woes. He appreciated tho principle that all govern ments derive their powers from tho conildcnco and respect of tho people, and his groat mind nnd patriotic .heart were bent toward tho re cstabllshmcut of cordial feelings between tho sections of tho land. If every old confederate -6old!cr or widow of a onf edcrato -to whom ho .gave helping hands cauld leave a tear about his tomb it would bo baptized in' lovtK best offer ing. To tho bravo men of tho other nldo of tho flTeat strifo. my people eond messages to 'crown this august occasion. Wo turn from the sot ting star of tho confederacy to accept the glori ous Hag of tho union, to put It about our hearth stones, and love (t as ve lovo our noble women; me stand guard about and hold it forerer; its glories nro ours with undivided heart, undi vided people, undivided arms to proteet Its tri umpli. Wo are with you to-day and all days, brothers and friends. Your union; our union. On this inspiring occasion wo lovo to tell you that lor all tho grandour aud majesty of Grant's character, for all tho splendor of his generosity toouxibravomeuand broken people his namo shall Cue embalmed in the hearts of our chil dren eod of our children's ciilldron with demo tion an .warm as our southern sun. ALMOST INCREDIBLE. Horrible fitorlo of Suffering; nnd Privation of Human DelngH in Culm. IlAVAJrA, April 27. An appeal has been sent to Clara Barton to come to the rescue of starving pacifleos, whose condition in daily growing more heart rending. Children arc dying in tho streets of Mntanzas and babies have been found dead in the arms of ex hausted mothers.

Ex-rroMdent Cleveland nmli ex-Secretary Carlisle Itcspond to Toast. Nnw Yohk, April 20. Fivo hundred guests sat down to the annual dinner of tho Itaform club at tho Waldorf Saturday night and cheered to tho echo sentiments from tho lips of sound money rind tariff reform democrats. Tho utmost enthusiasm prevailed and long-continued aplauso greeted tho up pearanco of ex-President Cleveland, tho first speaker of tho evening, who responded to tho toast "Present Problems" in a lengthy speech, llo said among other things: On every side wo nro confronted with popular depression nnd complaint. Thcso nro largely duo to causes of natural and certain recurrence, as tho inevitable accompaniment of nil human endeavor, and perhaps they nro as largely duo to tho work of agitators and demagogues who havo busily sowed tho seeds of discontent in order that In tho harvest they may reap per sonal advantage. Ijct truo democrats meet the passion nnd bit terness of their former associates who havo as sumed tho leadership of nnti-democrntlo wan derings with linn expostulations, reminding them that democractio convictions nnd dem ocratic conscicnco cannot bo forced to follow fnlso lights, howovcr held aloft; aud lot us at tho samo time entreat them in tho nainoor uon orablo political comradeship und In tho mem ory of glorious victories won by n united dem ocracy, to turn from tho way that leads to party defeat aud destruction. Ex-Secretary John G. Carlisle re sponded to the toast "Sound Currency," saying: In my opinion tho omcinl agitation now going on in favor of an international monetary con fcronco is not merely usoless but harmful in tho highest degreo to all great interests dependent upon n permanent nnd proper adjustment of our ourronoy Bystcm. No partisan considerations, no vain hopo of holding together Incongruous political ele ments or diminishing tho demnnds of silvor monomctalllsts, can at a tlmo Hko this Justify or even excuso persistence In a movement which tho wholo world knows is n mcro pro tenso, but which is nevertheless a distinct and dnngcrous concession to tho theory of frcocoin agu nnd flatlsm, and is, for that reason If for no other, injurious to thocnuso of sound money and to all tho material interests of tho country. FLOODS IN THE WEST. Klnny Dutldlngs Washed Awny, Railroad Truffle Impeded nnd Stock Drowned. Kansas City, Mo., April 20. Special dispatches tend to show that the ter ritory including portions of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa experienced tho heaviest rainstorms in their history between midnight and morning Sun day. In northern Kansas moro rain fell within six hours than often falls in six months. Many small buildings wore washed away and there was actual fear that entire towns would be swept off into tho swelling streams. Tho rise of tho water in parts of Nebraska was so rapid that people sleeping in the first stories of their homes narrowly escaped drown ing in their beds. They were com pelled to take refugo in tho tipper stories and on the roofs, and in many instances, rescuers, with boats, took half-dressed people from trees, into which they had climbed in their forced retreat. A telegram from Topcka, Kan., says: The Kaw river at this point is higher than it has been for tho past eight years, and it is still rising at the rato of two inches an hour. Reports from central Kansas indicate that the riso will continue for 21 hours or perhaps longer. Driftwood is coming down the river in great quantities. Much of ithus lodged against tho street rail way bridge 021 Kansas avenue, and fears are entertained for tho safety of tho structure. At Ottumwa, la., the river broke over the levees and Hooded the bottoms, carrying several houses down stream. Iu some places the water is above tho first story of the houses. One Burling ton main track is impassable aud hun dreds of men are at work attempting to prevent damage to the other line. As a result of the heavy storm and consequent rise of the Bluo river at Beatrice, Neb., 200 houses were flooded and 1,100 people were driven from their homes. All of them were provided with food, clothing and lodging. WORK OF FIENDS FRUSTRATED. Tho Hunt Brother Try to Drown 11 Maui but Aro Hulked In Their I'urpone. Pi:khv, Ok., April 20. John and Sam uel Hunt, two brothers in Washita county, attempted to drown Charlie Goodall, who was working for them, by binding him securely to a horse, then tyinga rock to the hore's neck and push ing them both over the bluff into a deep hole of water in the Washita river. They had bound the man to the horse and were fixing the rock when he slipped the bridle off the horse and made a dash for liberty. The men fired sev eral shots at the fleeing man and gavo chase on horseback, but lie succeeded in getting to a farm house near by and gave the alarm. The community in which the parties live is very much wrought up over the matter, and if tho Carties are caught they will probably e lynched. USED A "STRAW" MAN. Fraternal Insurance Order Worked Up Over un Alleged Swindle. Kansas Citv, Mo., April 20. For some time past there has been trouble in the Fraternal Aid association, a benefit insurance order that has a membership of between 10,000 and 11, 000 in Missouri and Kansas, over an alleged attempt of one of its officers to compel the payment of a death benefit of 83,000 upon a "straw" mau. A local paper five or six weeks ago contained nn account of the troublo that had resulted in the order from tho presen tation of the claim. Since then tho troublo has increased, and the United State authorities in Kansas have- been BAked to thoroughly investigate tho charges and bring the guilty purtic tc .ittstiu NEWS FROM GREECE A. Revolutionary Fooling la Boing Displayod. at Athens. ANGERED AT THE PALACE PARTY. Arrnngcnientu DcIer Mado to Knablo tho Koyul Fnnilly to T.ctivo tho Country Hastily In Case of Necessity Correspondents Vlowg. London, April 27. Tho most serious feature in tho Grnjco-Turkish emer gency is tho revolutionary feeling dis played at Athcus. Ex-Minlstor llalli, leader of tho principal opposition group in tho legislative assembly, threatened that, unless tho military staff was changed, ho would issuo a proclamation to tho people. His state ments acted like oil upon fire, and tho popular excitement has flared up. Crowds assembled in tho streets to discuss them and wanted to march to tho palaco to read them to King George. Fortunately heavy showers drove tho peoplo in doors. M. Delyannis, keenly ullvo to tho necessity of immediate action, had an audience with tho king, and after tho interview announced that tho staff of tho crown princo would bo recalled, and that ox-Minister Kalli, with threo of his nominees, Gen. Smolensk!, Gen. Mavromiachclli and Col. Dimopoulo, would be appointed to rcplaco them. The Daily Telegraph's Athens corre spondent said to-day: All of M. llalli's conditions have been accepted. Tho king gives carte blancho to his jninis ters. As tho nubile begins to learn tho truth, anger against tho palaco party increases, and a feeling of hostil ity against M. Dclyaunis is steadily growing. Lato last night crowds paraded menacingly in tho vicinity of tho palace. It is reported on good authority that arrangements arc being mado to enable tho royal family to leave tho country hastily in caso of necessity. People had generally credited tho rumors that tho crown princo would bo recalled and that tho govern ment was willing to consider peace overtures. It is impossiblo to say what will happen when it is known that tho war is to bo continued and tho crown prince retained in command. M. Kalli believes tho abandonment of Tyrnavo and Larissa to havo been not only un necessary, but most illy advised, as it endangered tho safety of Gen. Smolon ski's column, which, however, for tunately succeeded in making its way to Pharsala. Tho dispatches of the special corre spondents published to-day consist for tho most part of additional details of tho Greek's discomfiture. ;Tho Turkish plans arc not yet revealed. There is no doubt now that Crown Prince Con stantino ordered tho bridges to bo de stroyed before the Greeks abandoned Larissa, but damage could not be done beyond what could bo easily repaired by tho Turks. It seems equally cer tain that tho Greeks only escaped a crushing defeat with returning day light by precipitate flight. Tho news from Epirus is conflicting. It seems certain that the Turks havo reoccupicd Pentepigndin, and it is not improbable that tho Greeks have retreated to Arta, showing that tho Turks allowed them to advance to Pentepigadia solely in order to destroy the columu. ax agim:emi:nt. Hkw.in, April 27. Tho Tageblatt announces that a definite agreement has been reached between llussia and Austria concerning Turkey. The terms of the agreement, it is said, are that the sultan shall renounco Crete; that the czar shall be given a coaling sta tion at Stulay bay, in that island, and that in return Russia shall guarantee the integrity of Turkey. SHORTAGE IS ENORMOUS. Startling Developments In Connection with the Defalcation or Cashier. Atlanta, Ga., April 27. Harry A. Cassin, tho cashier of tho Georgia Sav ings, Loan fc Hanking Co., who yester day confessed to being a defaulter to tho extent of 5-10, 000, aud whose friends had agreed to pay up his shortage to keep him out of jail, is behind tho bars of Fulton prison. At a meeting of tho board of directors of tho institution which was robbed, abrief examination of the books was made and resulted in the astonishing discovery that the banlc, which was supposed to bo one of the most prosperous in the state, had hard ly a cent's worth of assets. Instead o tho shortage being 45,000, it will be several times that sum, and instead of young Cassin being tho bearer of the entire guilt, it is now believed that at least one other prominent official will sharo a cell with him. EX-CONFEDERATE DECORATION. Memorial Day In Fittingly Observed Throughout tho Kotitlu Vickshuuo, Miss., April 27. Confed erate Memorial day was generally ob served in Mississippi and Alabama yesterday. In this city there was a procession to tho cemetery, partici pated in by the veterans of both armies. There was a general suspension of business and about 4,000 peoplo attended tho ceremonies at tho con federate monument. Hon. Patrick Henry was orator of tho day. At Meridlaii business was suspended nnd there was a big parade, after which tho graves of. tho dead were strewn with flowers. GOLD GOING ABROAD. Nearly Ono million Dollar Ordered nt th Now York Sub-Treasury for Kxport. Washington, April 20. Tho secre tary of tho treasury has received a tel egram from Assistant Treasurer Jor dan at Now York stating that 5077,000 in gold bullion has been ordered for export. This Is tho first withdrawal of any considcrablo amount slnco July 22, 1890,when 82,000,000 was withdrawn, the lost of a series of heavy shipments extending through a number of months. Tho treasury officials do not anticipato any general gold export movement. Moro than 55,000,000 in gold is avallablo to supply export de mands beforo tho resorvo must bo called Into requisition. It Is not, considered probablo that oven this amount will bo sent abroad beforo tho balance of trade shall turn next autumn. NOT FOR WOMEN. rropnslllnn to Admit Them to Methodist General Conferences Defeated, Ci.r.viUiANi), 0., April 20. F. A. Ar tor, a leading Methodist, received word from headquarters that there is no longer any doubt of tho decision of tho church on tho question of admitting women delegates. Tho matter was submitted to tho district conferences, and from returns already received It is announced that tho women aro over whelmingly defeated. Colored and German congregations voted almost solidly against tho women. Tho prop osition to grant equal lay and minis terial representation Is also defeated. NO LABOR OR SPORT. Connecticut House l'asses a Dill Thnt Would Stop Sunday Traveling. Nbw Havkn, Conn., April 20. A bill passed tho houso Saturday by a largo majority vote prohibiting all Sunday labor or sport. Tho bill's original pro vision was that no labor or sport bo al lowed to tako placo in tho stalo be tween sunriso and sunset, except such as was necessary. Thero was soino troublo in fixing tho penalty, which was placed at 50 fine. Tho bill, if its provisions aro strictly construed, would stop tho clectrio cars and stages and would make it unlawful to rido out in carrioges or on bicycles or to go boat ing, fishing or swimming.

He will lcavo Wash ington early in May, probably taking pussago on tho St. Paul from New York. At Paris, tho general will board the Oriental express and go through without stop to Constantinople. His future movement will depend entirely upon tho progress of tho war but it is his intention to keep as near as possi ble to tho sceno of actual hostilities so that ho may be in either camp. May Open Moro Indian I.andn. Gutiiwk, Ok., April 20. Indian Agent Haldwin at Anadarko has re ceived orders from tho department to withdraw tho advertisements for pro posals to lease tho Kiowa, Comanche and Apache lands. This action of tho de partment indicates that tho lU'cscnt administration intends to carry out tho treaty mado several years ago with theso tribes, and allot their lands, so as to throw tho residue open to settle ment, but this can't be douo short of a year. Soldiers' Home Change. Lkavknwoktii, Kan., April 20. Gen. A. J.
