TUB PRINCE AND PRINCESS.
CORK , April ID. Prince and Princess of
Wales arrived hero to-day. Tko railway sta
tion and streets in the vicinity were crowded
with people awaiting tbo arrival of the royal
party. When the train bearing them drew
into the station it waa greeted with hearty
cheers. An address of welcome was delivered
and much enthusiasm prevails. !
Iho Princi ) and Princess of Wtlei did not
repeat their Dublin triumph in Cork , but
everything 111 the power of the loyalists waa
done to make the rccootlon of the visitors a
success. When the prince and priucess
emerged from the railway station they were
greeted with cheer * . During their progress
In the parade workmen andboya ran along tha
lido of the carriage and kept up the cheering
to drown the hisses of the nationalists , who
lined the entire route and kept up a continual
demonstration , The conduct of the loagueis
aroused the loyalists to n high pitch of enthu
siasm and they made the street echo with
shouts of welcome. The wonder is there was
no blood spilled during the royal progress , for
it proceeded amid n continued warfare ef
words and taunts. It is thought that the
princess conquered the Iri.h gallantry
O'Connor , nationalist member of parliament
( or Tlpperary , marched at the head of the
procession of leaguers who closely followed
the royal procession and sang , "God save Ire
land , " Then the loyalists would start up on
their bands , ' -God save the queen , " or "God
lave the Prince of Wales , "
SKRIOCS RIOTS IK CORK.
LONDON , April 16. Up to this evening
there was a fooling of relief in the govern
ment circles over the news from C/'ork , which
attended to show that the visit of thn Prince
of Wales to that city had pasted off quietly
and bad evoked an unexpected amount ot en
thuiiasm. Early in the evening tbo govern
ment officials declared that the attempts of
the nationalists to organize an oppo itlon bad
resulted in a failure , aud that tbo extent of the
loyalists' demonstration was surprising. These
declarations were hnrdl > uttered before the
telegraph brought reports of rioting In yari
ous parts of the city and

every hour , aa the open carriage containing
the Prince was crossing the Pnrnell bridgn
some one in the crowd throw nn onion at his
royal highness , missed the Prince but hit
ono of the footmen behind the carriage , and
the crowd cheered. Daring the afternoon
detectives arrested a man who was throwing
stones nt the loyalists procession , a mob
speedily formed nnd attempted to rescue him.
A detective fired liia revolver but without
hitting anyone , nnd succeeded in taking his
prisoner to tbo police court where he was
promptly released on bail furnished by the
mayor of Cork Early in the evening the
nationalists held a mass meeting where in-
flamstory speeches were made ana the latest
London newtpapeia containing uscounts of all
the progress were burned in a ban lire , After
the mass meeting the nationalists scattered
through tha city in parties numbering from
DO to 000 men. Doors and windowa were
smashed , ( lags nnd decoiations were torn
down and hcapid upon thn blazing bon fires ,
and many gtia stores were
broken into for the purpoao of arming
the mob. Policemen when encountered
ilngly or in squads wera attacked nud beaten
unmercifully with their own truncheons. In
many caies the police rallied and charged
desperately upon the mob , but they were in
variably surrounded and repulsed. The
police then , resorted to the free use of
their revolver aud bayonets. It wai hand
to hand fighting of the most desperate
sort , the police standing back and receiving
nnd Inflicting terrible injuries. At midnight
the streets wore practically In possession of
the mob' . The policemen who remained un
injured could not do moro than maintain
their positions nnd fight on the defensive. In
addition to the attacks from the crowds in the
streets , the police were oxpoiod to murderous
volleys of stones from windows , houso-topr
and other points of vantage. The belief at
midnight was that the streets could not be
cleared without the use of artillery ,

Murderer.
ST , Louis , April 15. A Post-Dispatch San
Franciico special says : On receipt of n tele
gram yesterday from Chief of Police Harrl-
gan , St. Louis , the police hero commenced
search for Maxwell , the nllcgod murderer of
Preller. Investigation developed the fact
that n man answering Mat well's description
arrived hero on Saturday last and pnt up nt
the palace hotel. Ho only stayed there ono
night , and it is believed ho sailed In the
steamer Citv of Sydney for Hnwnii
and Australia which left hers the
next afternoon , Later developments , how
ever , Incline reporters to the belief
that the police nro on the trail and an nrrost
may be looked for at nny time. It transpired
herd to-day that Maxwell , two or three days
before the murdar , was in great need of
money and that ho attempted to pawn his
\vatch and sell n stcrooptican apparatus nnd
views. On the Monday following before ho
left the city ho wns known to have money , as
he informed the persons to whom ho tried to
sell these articles , that ho no longer needed
money and displayed plenty of cash , Ho also
purchased several things , including n valuable
field glass nnd a pair of spectacles. °
POWER'S STORY ABOUT MAXWELL ,
BOSTON , April 15. A Mr. Power ? , who
knew Maxwell , the supposed murderer of C.
A , Preller , while In this city , ? says ho bns n
letter in his posiesston which was mailed by
Maxwell nt St. Louts nt 0 p _ . m , April C. It
was learned to-day that prior to his depart
ure , Maxwell pawned his watch end n person
now In Boston holds the ticket. When Preller
left Boston it was understood that ho nnd
Maxwell were to meet at the Southern Hotel
in St. Louis , nnd to determine which day
they wore to ba there , U wni fixed upon after
Prellor'd departure by correspondence and
their letters were of a friendly nature. Max
well was a smoker and n drinker , but was sel
dom under tbo influence of drink. The story
that be waa under the influence
of liquor when ho left Boston is
not true. When Maxwell want away
ho said that he was going to St. Louis and
should remain there until nfter ho had re
ceive money from England , when ho should
go with Preller to San Francisco. Maxwell
was nn Intense hatar of dynamite , and I have
heard him say : "The whole crew ought to
die. " Preller , on the other hand , was some
what in lengua with the dynamiters , aa 1
pothered from his conversation. He thought
it wai a huga joke because parliament and the
Tower of London had been blown up by the
dynamiters , and there was quite a little talk
between them over the outrage. It occurred
nbout the time they were hero in Boston.
Prnllor didn't look like an Englishman. He
looked to mo lika a Jew , and he had a Jewish
note.

Years
General John A , Logan Delivers

Good Works oftlio Martyred
President ,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
CHICAGO , April 15. The following address
was delivered by Gen , Logan at the memorial
icrvices , hold in honor of Abraham Lincoln ,
at Springfield to-day :
On the 12th day of February , seventy-six
yoard ago , in the midst of hardy pioneer people
ple , lu Hnrdlng county , Kentucky , a Bon ,
called Abraham , was born unto Thomas nud
Nancy Lincoln. A few years later this son
is found with his parent ] in Indiana , where
he labored at farm work in assisting his father.
There was no opportunity offered him for
icceiving an education. Under the guidance
of his mother , however , bo was taught to
road nnd write. He was of studious habits ,
and carefully road all the books ho couldborrow
from the neighbors. All that I am or hops to
be , ho said , I owe to my angel mother. In
his twenty-first year he is located in Illinois ,
doing manual labor , though nt times when ho
could do so , he was always found with a book
in hand , storing his mind with useful knowl
edge.
HE WAS A CONSTANT READER Of THE BIBLE
as well as Shatapeare'a work ; , and from theeo
acquired a better undetstrnding of human ac
tion , nnd that which influences the minds of
men , than all those which criticized him rs
, n uneducated man ever had the capacity to
inderstand. Ho served in the Black Hawk
r , afterwards several tlincj in our state log-
lature , and one term in congreca. Yet until
858 , when ho joined in debate with the la
mented Stephen A. Douglas , nothing seemed
o afford an opportunity for him
a prove to the country his
real ability as a lawyer , statesman nnd de
btor , as well a man of thought , research and
; roat power of analysis. In that great de-
iato he displayed such a wonderful ability as
.o at onca giro him a national reputation.
His great mind seemed to unfold
o hla auditors danger after danger
hat then menaced our beloved country.
Ho BO held the mirror baforo the people that
, hey could plainly see the trouble which must
; ome in the future'if tli9 then policy should
persisted in ,
HE FORESHADOWED t .1AtSS 'JS8D SUGGESTED
THE WAT TO AVOID IT
He exhibited clearly to the people that i
.ho destruction of this union muit coma wi
larselves must be the author and finisher ,
His argument ! were convincing , his deduc
tions and logic were iriesistable. In all his
speeches his basis was right against wrong.
He convinced all who hoard him that he .was
a man of generous impulses and great kind
ness of heart. He seemed to feel the wrong ,
of all down trodden and oppressed humanity
as his own. The Impression left upon his
hearers was that be had dedicated himself to
work in their behalf. When elected presl
doot of the United States ho entered upon
the duties of that office with malice toward
none , with aharity for all , and although cir
cumstances were of the most tryIng -
Ing character that had eve
surrounded any man In undertaking to ad-
di mater the affairs of the nation , yet hi
grasped a firm hold on tha helm of the ship
of state and moved on calmly and cooly , in
the performance of the arduous duties assign
ed him , He met each condition of things as
presented to him and his great mind took in
every situation as it was developed.
IK PROVED HI1I8KLF EQUAL TO ANT AND ALL
BMEROENCII3
and while our country was passing through
the severest ordeal ; ho kept apace with the
advancing sentiments of the people , neither
going ahead nor lagging behind , always tak-
itig advantage of the proper moment to do the
right thing , as was exemplified by bin procla
mation of emancipation giving freedom to an
opprotsod race. Ho mot all questions' nt an
opportune moment , and eeeined full ol hope
as well as confident of the u.timate success
nnd complete restoration of the union , Twenty
years ape to-day , early in his aec9iid term as
president , and just as his proud anticipations
and fondest hopes were being realized , he fell
at the hands of on assassin , a martyr to the
cause of human freedom. As the tallest oak
in the forest falls , camlng the earth to ir ; . .bio
at the shock ,
SO HIS FALL CAUSED THE NATION ' I'BKJIBLE.
It Stalwart men crloi aloud and wept , women
wrung their hands and appealed to hoevon to
know why this great wrong should have been
permitted , This people mourned and would
not bo comforted. All civilized countries
were saddened , deep gloom covered the wholt
land , and In grief and torrow we mourn him
still. In the life of this man there Is a lesson
that ought to be taught to the present and
future generations , which would be of more
value than gold that glitters. Comlug from
the lower walks of life without any of the ad
vantages that are now within the reach of all

Gen. Grant's Condition.
NEW YORK , April 15 Gen , Grant enjoyed
a refreshing sloop of eight and n half hours ,
Pulse 7-1 , of fair volume ; temperature normal.
Ho is iuclined to bo cheerful nnd chatty , has
nt present no pain in the throat nor has ho
suffered from any during the night.
Senator Chaffcawas the first visitor at GOP.
Giant's residence thla morring. When ho
loft ho said only six minims of morphia had
been used in 24 lours. The general's condi
tion was better than It had boon for ton days
and the senator had no Immediate apprehen
sion.
Mrs. Jessie Grant this morning stated the
general was oatior , but waa not gaining
strength , only just nbout holding his own.
She did not sea any very great change from
the last few days. The matter of his removal
If he survived until fair woarther was not dot-
inately settled.
THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THK PATIENT
IMPROVED.
NEW YORK. April 15. When Dr. Shrady
left General Grant's house nftor consultation
to-day he said in answer to n question that
the general condltloa of the patient was im
proved. How do you account for his steady
improvement ? wnjnjked.SBTho general's bad
attacks nave boon caused by complications as
sociated with the usual progress of the disease
was the answer. They have been overcome
for tha present and of course ho is bettor. The
temporary Irritntion in the throat has been
relieved , nnd the result la what the bulletins
have stated. And do the bulletins state
everything ? was asked. The bulletins deal with
the plain facts of the case nnd with facts only ,
responded Dr. Shrady. During tha concilia
tion this afternoon , Gen Grant said to his
physicians : "Tha doctors outside , I am in
formed , are writing nbout my case and talk
ing about it , nnd some of them seem to think
they know moro nbout it than you gentlemen
do. But it is like in n time of war , when
men at homo think they know moro nbout It
nnd how to do It , than the generals who are
in the field fighting , "
Soon alter his throat was dressed this
morning , Gen , Grant said , in remarking upon
his improved condition , that ho thought he
would get well. That the public may bo en
abled to thoroughly understand the case as it
is , aud foim n reliable opinion , the following
absolute facts are given aa a basU for public
nnd personal judgment.
Gen , Grant is not very greatly
emaciated about the body. Ho has lost some
esb , but how much cannot bo told. He has
ot been weighed In come time. Hit face is
oS much changed , but it has n careworn ap-
oaranco. The gland Is swollen on the right
de , and the swelling outside varies more or
ss , as there is more ar less swelling on the
nslde. The glandular swelling has at nome
mo been larger than a hen's egg , nnd from
lat down to the size of a pigeon's egg. It is
cated nt the angle of the jaw. It has never
ntlrely disappeared einco it came
nontha ago. The swelling is duo ,
rst to the circulation growth , nnc
aally to the progress of the disease in the
lands themselves. There is no positive ovi-
ence at present that the glands nave becoTna
: tivoly diseased , though the presumption is
i at they ate dislodged. The disease docs
ot extend to nor effect any of the -processes
f the general's ear , there la some danger o
lat possibility but not probability at
resent , it is not point ? in that direction
'ho disease is spreading very gradually back
rards into tbo back part of the throat apt
ehind the palate. It has communlcatec
omewhat to the back part of the nose in
rent nnd * nbove the palate. There is no
ump on the tongue , it is an ulcer away back
n the side of the tongue , a small ulcer. If
as never been shown to Its whole exton
ut It is a small ulcer , irregular In shape , unc
rom A quarter to half an inch in clrcum
erence. In the case of epitheliomn there is
j lump , it is nn ulcer , there is a discharge
rom tha ulcerated surface , the discharge i
ompoBod of mucous broken down tissue am
ome little matter , in other words it i
muconus , this exudes from nn ulcerated fitir
nco that ulcerates the palate back part o
be throat and right side of the tongue
There is n chance for a genera
mprovement of the patient by
temporary arrest of .the disease
