Gathering Clans.
ST. Louis , Juno 1. While but compara
tively low of the actual participants In the
democratic national convention have yet ar
rived In St. Louis , yet each train brings In
its ciuota , nnd the city Is gradually filling up.
The hotels nro all busy to-day making pre
parations for the accommodation or dele
gates , iind early this morning great truck
loads of cots and pillows began arriving.
The hall at the exposition building will bo
ready within twenty-four hours. To-morrow
night It will bo formally opened with n con
cert. M. M. Ham , editor and proprietor of
the DuliUquo Herald and member of the na
tional democratic committee from Iowa , ar
rived last evening. In answer to inquiries
Ham said :
"Tho Iowa democracy has but one
sentiment on the tariff question.
President Cleveland's message has
been adopted as their platform.
Cleveland is their choice for president. As
to vice president I can't say. Gray of In
diana , Bine ) : and Stevenson of Illinois , have
their friends. Just what effect the Thur-
man movement will have with our delega
tion I cannot tell. If ho could take the nom-
iimtlou 11 expect they would bo glad to help
lilin to it. Wo are going to try and carry
Iowa Uiis fall. The work wo huva done the
past few years gives us conlldenco In our
ability to redeem the state. With Cleveland
nnd reform wo will , I thick , bo able to wipe
out the small republican majority that now
remains. "
Among the distinguished arrivals in St.
Louis was Henry Watterson , of the Louis
ville Couricr-Journnl. "Oh , I think wo shall
linvo an easy time of it all around , " said ho
in answer to n reporter's question. "It's all
plain sailing and there is no reason why wo
should not get through witli our work rap-
Idly. I think Cleveland will bo rcnominatod
the llrst session the convention holds , and the
platform and the vice presidency will bo sot-
tied in short order. Senator Thurmnn will
probably be selected for the vieoprcsidency. "
"How nbout the platform , did you bring it
with you ? " asked the reporter.
"No , " said the Kentucliy editor , gravely.
"Wo have not bozun that yet , but thcro
won't bo any difllcuity this time. Four years
ngo wo had a pretty hard light of it in the
committee. The platform will of course en
dorse the president's tarilt message und the
Mills bills. "
In icgnrd to Senator Thurinan and the
vice presidency , the Post-Dispatch has the
following telegram from Columbus to night :
The Post-Dispatch correspondent called on
ex-Senator Thurinan this afternoon and asked
him In relation to the vice presidency.
"You newspaper people , " said the senator ,
"will never let u fellow alone. Tlioro have
been four or five newspaper men calling on
mo every day for a week. "
"Tho country nt largo is deeply interested
In the question of your candidacy for the
vice presidency , " suggested the correspond
ent.
ent."Thcro
"Thcro must bo some mistake about that ,
for the people cannot ho interested in a thing
that does not exist. I am not u candidate for
the vice presidency or for any other oBlce ,
consequently thcro can bo no real or actual
interest In my candidacy. "
"But your name Is now being mentioned in
nil parts of the country as the ono likely to
bo soleclcd at St. Louis. "
"That may bo , but no ono has been author
ized to use my name in that connection.
1 want no oflieo of any kind , nnd consequently
quently am not an aspirant for the vice pres
idency. I look upon this whole matter as
being intended as a friendly compliment , but
I would mnch rather that my friends would
not compliment mo by mentioning my name
in that way. "
"lint they doubtless assume that you are
desirous of seeing President Cleveland re-
elected. "
"There is no ground for cither nn assump
tion or supposition on that score. I am de
sirous of seeing Cleveland re-elertcd. All
that I cnn do In that behalf will bo done
cheerfully , and , In my opinion ho will bo
elected by an increased majority. A man with
the courage , honesty , patriotism and states
manship of Urovcr Cleveland deserves such
nn indorsement at the hands of the pccplo as
his re-election would imply. "
"Hut in the event of your unanimous nom
ination for the vice presidency at St. Louis I"
"That event will not happen , for I have al
ready toltl you that I am not n candidate for
thot or any other olliciai position. "
"Hut suppose you wcro nominated , would
you decline the nomination I"
"Them would bo no propriety in declining
substantially anything before it is tendered ,
and 1 am not so presumptions as
to decline In advance u nomina
tion that will undoubtedly bo tendered
to another , for the convention will
not lack the best material from which to
EClcct. I am a private In the ranks and the
question of the vice presidential nomination
in no way effects mo. "
The hist touches were put on the hall this
afternoon and it is now ready. , "I think it
will bo the prettiest hall that ever held a
" said Bright
convention , Scrgennt-ut-Arms
to-day , "It would have been better , of
course. If wo could have had the speaker
stand in the middle of ono sldo of the hall.
That would have enabled everybody in tlio
hull to bo heard , and nt present 1 fear it is
going to bo rather dltlh-ult. The fact is , that
whenever a good acoustic effect is secured in
n largo hull , nils mcroaccident. > ' |
When ono stands on the speakers' platform
nnd looks over the hall , the eye sees nothing
but red , while and blue bunting , coats of
arms of ( ho states and gilded American
eagles. Kvcry pillar in the hall is wrapped
Witli uunting from lloor to coiling , the tlireo
colors contrasted at intervals with wreathes
of evergreen , Uunting Is looped from the
galleries In long festoons , The platform
proper is under the gallery nnd is edged with
evergreen. There is a descent of three stops
from the platform to the speakers' btand , and
u little sdiiaro stand , largo enough to hold n
table und two or thrco chairs , projects from
that. The oniclal reporter Is to occupy this.
At the rear of the hall u lingo American
eagle spreads Ills wings between two enor
mous American flags , and directly under the
cuglo Is un equestrianstatucof Ocorgo Wash
ington. At tbo other end of the hall , over
the speaker's stand , thvro hangs from the
gallery "portraits of Cleveland , Tildi'ii ,
llciulrlclts and Hancock , On the wall back
of tula gallery are colossal white statues pf
Jackson and Jefferson , and between them a
( minting of thn eapitol in Washington. On
both sides of the speaker's stand are seats
for newspaper reporters , and none of them
will bo between the orutor and his audlcnco ,
The telegraph companies have offices for
their operators down stairs and on the con
vention lloor uro small ofl'.ucs ' for the recep
tion of messages which uiu shot down by
pneumatic tubes.
The Pauiflo coasters are making a vigorous
pull for Lieutenant Governor Wlilto for torn-
jjorary chairman , nnd ore winning many ro-
crulla for their man. From the present ap-
rcaranccs there will boo lively light for the
chairmanships. At u meeting of the national
committee lost February , it was oprced that
General P. A. Collins should bo Invited to
preside nt the preliminary proceedings.
Now , there seems to bo n feeling among the
committee , or nt least an.ong the members
licre , that Collins should be permanent chair-
titan , nnd that some other democrat of
eminence bo temporary chairman , Prince ,
of MassachucttR , is in favor of giving the
Callfornluns the tcmpo-ary chairmanship.
The committee Invariably selects the tem
porary chairman and its also been the custom
lor the national committee to select both the
temporary und permanent chairmen. It is
gently hinted to-night that the committee
had practically agreed on Scuutpr Gornam.
Of Missouri , for temporary. chairman und
General Collins , for- pcriuaucat'chairman. .
The western nnd southern men nro
not taking kindly to this alleged
programme on the ground thatothcr sections
than the eastern seaboard should receive
some recognition. In addition to the talk In
favor of Lieutenant Governor White of Cali
fornia there are rumors that Henry Walter-
son will bo urged for permanent chairman
nnd his friends say that ho will bo supix > rtcd
by the solid south in the committee on perma
nent organization , in view of the competi
tion for the honor of wielding the gavel , It Is
Just possible that the arrangements of the
committee mny bo upset.
Steve Dorscy Loaded For Hear.
Dnxvnn , May 31. [ Special to Tun Unn.J
"Stovo" Dorsoy , the cx-stnr router , nt pres
ent ono of the declining cattle kings of Now
Mexico , arrived hero yesterday from his
ranch at Palo Ulanco on his way to the
Chicago convention. Ho Is going simply as
a spectator , but it iils statements aro. to bo
believed , ho goes "loaded for boar" nnd is
confident of his ability to bring down some
good sized gumo before his return west.
Since his arrival in Denver ho has on
several occasions "given It out cold" to more
than ono of his friends that ho Intends to
miiKo trouble In the republican family this
fall , or at least employ nil hit efforts In this
direction as n return favor for the
shabby treatment ho alleges ho has
received at the hands of the party , both
national ns well ns territorial. In convers
ing to-night upon the result of the Chicago
convention ho said ho had no Idea whatever
regarding the probable choice , although ho
himsol fluid some preferences , but under no
circumstances whatever would ho support
Jim Hlnino. " Dorscy has never had the
most kindly feeling for n number of the re
publican managers since the conclusion of
the famous star route cases nt Washington
in which ho -prominently figured as a de
fendant at u cost of over $500,000 and during
which ho now claims to have been deserted
by some of the party leaders , whom ho
considered as his friends. This feeling of
unfriendliness has boon intensified by the
snub given him by his party in Now Mexico ,
during the last two territorial campaigns.
Slnco his residence in the land of
Montczuma , ho hiw unsuccessfully
endeavored to control the political machinery
of the territory , and both he and his friends
linvo spent no llttlo money to accomplish
this result. His candidate for delegate to
congress , Colonel Hynorson , now n member
of tlio national committee , was overwhelm
ingly defeated four years ago by Anthony
Joseph Do Tovis. who two years later ngain
defeated Dorsoy's candidate , Colonel J. W.
Dwycr. In face of the fact that the territory
had always been considered stiongly repub
lican. His Washington experience , coupled
with Ins repeated defeats at homo , has
aroused the spirit of the old campaigner , and
ho is now ready to run up the black flag and
battle for revenge.
A prominent Colorado republican this even
ing , while discussing' Mr. Dorsoy and the
course ho proposes to pursue , said : "His an
gry throats about. going to ruin
the republican party and ilcfcat tlio
choice of the national convention is absurd
and will have no cllcct whatever upon any
part of the republican party. It is apparent
to all that Doisov is on tlio decline ; lie is
growing old very fast , his sight is rapidly
failing him and his nervous system is suffer
ing greatly from high living indulged in dur
ing his political career in Washington , and
which has been continued since ho cnmo to
New Mexico. Above all ho has no money
with which to carry on the light , oven were
it possible for him to make one. Dorsey's
principal trouble is his dissatisfaction with
the retired life ho is compelled to livoupon
his ranch. His inability to ngain get into
active politics makes him sour and cranky
upon every subject , an-t this last outbreak of
ills will bo taken by the people more as the
complaints of a spoiled child than the threats
of an influential politician. "

WASHINGTON , Juno 1. [ Special Telegram

CIS PouiiTnENTii STUEBT , >
WASHINGTON. D. C. . Juno 1.1
Never was cNilehcr legislative work done
than to-day making Lieutenant General Phil
Sheridan general of the army of the United
States. Shortly nttor the house convened
this morning , nt the request of Mr. Dorsey ,
who introduced n bill on the same subject
early In the session , General Splnola called
up the senate bill nnd asked unanimous con
sent for its immediate passage. Colonel
Dates of Alabama , who lost an arm in the con
federate nrmy nnd who led the filibustering
ngninst.tho direct tax bill , objected to Its
consideration , although a number of his re
constructed colleagues begged him tb with
draw his objections. Ho refused and the bill
stood over. The republicans announced that
they would permit no business to bo trans
acted till the Sheridan bill was consid
ered. A roll call was ordered. The
republicans refrained from voting , thus
breaking a quorum and clogging the proceed
ings. Finally the committee on military
affairs , which reported the bill to , the house ,
demanded under the rules the hour it was
entitled to to-day for the consideration of its
bill. This was granted and the Sheridan
bill was taken up. Colonel Dates discovered
that the Sheridan bill tnken up was not the
ono reported by the committee , although it
was an exact copy , nnd ho objected. His
objection stood. Thcro was Instantly n rush
ing about of the members of the committee
ou military nfTairs. General Spinoln took
the measure from member to member ,
secured consent to report it , and In n few
minutes ho was recognized by Springer who
was in the chair , and the bill was taken up.
Even after the work hail gone thus far there
was objection to the consideration of the
measure. ICllgoro of Texas spoke against the
bill and objected to its consideration , but
withdrew after being promised that the ayes
and noes would bo called , so that ho would ho
recorded in the opposition.
Once the bill was up It seemed almost
every member wanted to say something in
its favor. Mr. Brcckinridgo of Kentucky ,
who fought the consideration , delivered n
tribute when the opportunity offered , and
Sunset Cox added n laurel to the brow of
the gallant Little Phil. Judge Kelly , tower
ing like nn oak in the forest , uceumo poetical
ns ho eulogized the beneficiary of tlio meas
ure , and thanked the confederates in tlio
house for permitting consideration. When
the time cnmo for voting on the bill there
wcro not n sulUcient number ( one-fifth ) op
posed to it to secure a roll call , and the bill
passed \Vitliout division. An exciting scene
followed the announcement that the bill had
passed. Members fairly shouted with joy.
Colonel Gates left the lloor soon
after ho failed to defeat the considera
tion and did not appear to continue
his opposition. Arrangements were made
before hand to have the bill enrolled in haste
nnd signed by the presiding officers of the
two houses and a half hour nfterwaid it was
on its way to the white house. The messen
ger was immediately ushered into the pres
ence of the president , who attached his sig
nature and dispatched his executive clerk to
the senate witli the signed bill and General
Sheridan's nomination as the bill provided.
Tlio senate went into executive session nnd
confirmed the nomination withoutn moment's
delay. Meanwhile the commission of Phillip
H. Sheridan to bo general ot the army was
made out nt the executive mansion , and
nnd when n messairo was received thcro an
nouncing codlirmatlon a mcssscngcr was dis
patched to General SUoridan's residcnco witli
the coveted document.
It was not an hour and a half after the bill
passed tlio house till the commission was in
the hands of General Sheridan. Words can
not describe the pleasure the net brought to
the bravo soldier. His eyes filled witli tears
as the commission was laid in his hands , and
his heart overflowed with gratitude. Ono of
the physic-Inns says it was worth forty-eight
hours of good breathing and a week of recu
peration. A short time before the house mot ,
General Sheridan called his brother , Colonel
Mike , to his side and inquired if ho thought
the house would pass the bill to-day. Tlio
colonel replied that it would and then went
out and telegraphed Mr. Dorsoy ns to the
outlook. An hour afterward the Nebraska
member replied that twlco the bill had been
objected to , but ho thought It would receive
consideration. It was only Tuesday that Mr.
Mumler.oon succeeded In having the lull
passed by the senate. Everybody seems to
be happy to niitht over tlio ultimate success
of the bill uiid thcro are hearty congratula
tions pouring into the homo of the hero.
Senators Mandcrson nnd Hawley carried
the commission of Philip H. Sheridan to bo
general in the army to the general's residence -
denco as soon as tlio president hud signed it.
Mrs Sheridan received them and thanked
them heartily for the interest they had taken
in the mnttor and expressed her warmest
thanks in behalf of the general to all the
members of congress who had been in any
way instrumental in securing the passage of
the bill. Soon after the senators loft , Chief
Clerk Twedale , . of the war department ,
called nnd administered the oath of olllco. A
letter was written to tlio president neknowl-
edging and thanking him for the promotion
which was signed by the general , this being
ins first onlc-ial net. Ho nlso signed tlio
oath of ofllco nnd gave directions to
ills staff ollU-ors who were present ,
for his first general order , which directions
wcro at once talien to the war department
and the general order announcing the detail
of the bt.nf was issued by Adjutant General
Drum. The order Is as follows :

( IBNKIIAL SlimillUN HOLDS HIS OWN.
During the early hours of this morning
General Shoridnn's condition chnngca
slightly nnd for the better. Unlike the
nvcrngo sick man ho has his easiest hours
before nnd for 'n tinio nftcr daybreak. Uc-
twcon 11 nnd 13 o'cjock Inst night ho could
not have been much ncnrcr death's doorwltli-
out actually entering it. His life wns In a
very tender bnlnnco nnd those who wcro in
the Sheridan house spoke In low tones nnd
evinced the keenest , distress. The hours
were critical ones until Just before the gray
of dnun began to nfipcnr and then the suf
ferer breathed cnsqr , his eyes became
brighter and ho scorned to linvo taken n now
lease of life. All the bulletins issued during
the day wcro not materially unlike In gcncrnl
character those which have been promul
gated dally for almost u week. Dr. Pepper ,
who was anticipated In these dispatches last
night , arrived in n spcclnl train from Phila
delphia very early this morning. Ho did
not hesitate to say that the chances for his
patient were very few nnd ho advocated the
plainest statement possible in the bulletin
which was issued ver.v shortly nftcr ho mndo
nn examination. There nro now seven
physicians in attendance upon Gcncrnl
Shherldan nnd nil of them agree upon
the trouble which is playing upon the heart
of the sufferer , und nil say ho is liable to die
nt nny time , yet none will predict that thcro
Is absolutely no liopo. whatever. The fmnlly ,
nftcr BO ninny days of anxiety , have come to
tlio conclusion that the gcncrnl will got up
ngain , but under the hope there is llttlo
ground. All day there wore anxious in
quiries nt the capital as to the condition of
General Sheridan , and hundreds of tele
grams were sent to1 the house nnd the war
department nnd to the offices of the physi
cians making Inquiries. To-night thcro is
but very little change. General Sheridnn's
death will create no surprise nt nny time ,
although it will bring to every heart n pang
of sorrow. Ho may live for days nnd ho
may bo dead before this telegram reaches its
destination.
At 12:1)0 : ) n. m. there had been no appreci
able change in Sheridan's condition since
last evening's bulletin was issued. Ho has
coughed but llttlo nnd has slept most of the
time , nnd when nwako has been clear in his
mind nnd cheerful.
. . MINCISO TUP. TMiirr.
It is evident tlio house will soon exhaust
itself on the subject of the tariff. Although
thcro wcro but thrco' hours of debate this
afternoon , nearly every member on the lloor
had something to say. Quito n number of
those not among the 140 who delivered regu
lar speeches while the general debate was
pending nro Hnng thorn off now. They pro
ceed until their five minutes expire nnd then
renew their motion , and when they have
spoken ten minutes beg the members about
them to claim the floor nnd give them their
time. By this process n single member oc
casionally speaks for nearly an hour. Mr.
Scranton of Pcnnsylvnnla delivered n long
speech on the reduction of the duty on qui
nine , showing the abolition of the duty on
that article did not bring about the great re
ductions in its price. Other members spoke
on features of the tariff , which wcro u it
under consideration. 'Tlio debate , after two
days under the live minute rule , has not re
sulted in n single direct vote on nny proposi
tion to change the tariff laws , and if it ivcrc
to proceed as it lias so far tlio bill would not
bo completed within this congress , but nftor
u few days of the frco and easy talk it is
thought the work will progress rapidly. Mr.
Springer , who was in the chair to-day , gave
the house n foretaste of some rulings which
will likely ho mudo in tiio interest of more
rapid consideration of jtho bill. Ho took the
bit between his teeth and ruled-out motions
nnd points of order nnd brought the house
from several entanglements. The democrats
savthoy will , after a short time , adopt rules
which will focus thcinultillariousmovemcnts
made by the opposition and curtail the com
plications to the minimum.

CIIICAOO , Juno 1. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bur. . ] The celebrutcd Hnwson divorce
cnso wns brought to n climax of sensational
ism to-day by an attempt on the part of the
complainant , Mrs. Mecklo L. Hnwson , to
murder ono of her husband's lawyers , Colonel
nel Henry C. Whitney in open court. The
cnso cnmo up this morning on a motion in
Judge Janncson's court nt 10 o'clock. Mrs.
Unwson appeared there with her attorney
General Stiles. Mr. Uawson wns repre
sented by Colonel H. C. Whitney. When
Judge Jmntcson called the cnso Colonel
Stiles had left the room. The judge toldotho
banker's attorney to wait n few minutes and
the lawyer sat within the rail nt Bailiff Suth
erland's desk. Ho wns bending over
Borne papers , absorbed In their contents ,
when u buxom woman clad In n neat
fitting black dress and with n face
as pnlo ns death , walked through
the gateway from the main body of the court
room und approached him. The lawyer
looked up , Jumped to his feet and retreated
hastily toward the clerk's desk , which Is Im
mediately beside that of the judgo. Then
the womnn raised n revolver nnd fired. The
shot crashed Into the sidoof Judge .Tnnilcson's
desk. Colonel Whitney had reached the
clerk's desk , and throwing himself on his
hands and knees ho tried to find safety by
crawling under it. Another shot rang out ,
nnd tlio bullet struck the top of the desk ,
plowing n furrow in the wood and glancing
otf into n pigeon hole. Mrs. Hnwson wns
then behind the desk , and pointing deliber
ately she fired thrco times at the prostrate
figure of the man. One shot took effect in
the groin , inflicting n dangerous wound.
Another tore its way through the hard wood
in the panel of tlio desk and rolled out into
the court room. The third grazed Whitney's
thigh , producing n slight llcsh wound.
The woman wns disarmed und , in chnrgoof
Deputy Gleason , hurried to the county jail.
Her face was white to ghastliness and her
eyes red nnd swollen. As the carriage
rattled north on Clark street on the way to
the county Jail , Gleason asked her if she
knew what she dono. Slio made no answer
to the question , but , shuddering , saidIs : it
cold to-day i I am so cold ; 1 have had no
sleep for so long. " When the Jail was
reached , at her own request , she was per
mitted to Ho down a short time before being
removed to the fcinnle department. Ono of
her attorneys called on her but said she
seemed fncdund : unable to talk lucidly. She
may bo better to-morrow.
Her son , Hulpli Leo , who is n prisoner in
the county Jnii for attempting to kill his
stepfather last October , was not informed
of the affair for n couple of hours. Then he
spoke very bitterly of Whitney , who , he
said , had , at Kawsun's instigation , hounded
his mother with a libelous statement until
her mind was shattered. Hanker Hawson
said to n reporter this afternoon he wns sur
prised Mrs. Uawson had shot Whitney instead
of himself , as ho considered himself in
dunger from her. General Stiles nnd Cap
tain Hlaok , attorneys for Mrs. Uawson , are
of the opinion the libelous reports concocted
by the prosecution and published broadcast ,
together with systematic hounding by her
husband's attorneys , had niado the poor
woman frantic. Added to all her other
troubles camp the decision yesterday of
Judge McAllister , of the appellate court , re
versing the order of the lower court for tem
porary alimony as being excessive , nnd re
manding the order for revision. This sorely
troubled her , and she looked so strange Unit
General Stiles went this morning into tlio of
fice of Chief Deputy Sheriff Gleason nnd
asked him to have an officer watch her
in court ns ho was afraid that
she would do something desperate.
Deputy Morgan accordingly took the ele
vator and was just entering the court room
when the firing began. Notwithstanding the
unfavorable comments on Mrs. Hawson nnd
tlio condemnation of tho.se around the court
house , the concensus of public opinion is she
lias been driven to tlio deed , nnd n great deal
of spontaneous sympathy goes out toward
her. The great majority of people hnvo lit
tle sympathy with Itnwson or his easo. Law
yer Whitney is in no danger unless blood
poisoning sets in in the groin wound.
Hanker Stephen W. Uawson , the unfortun-
nto woman's husband , reached the city Into
yesterday afternoon. His presence was
known to but few. Ho hoard of his wife's
attempt to kill Mr. Whitney shortly after it
occurred nnd hastened to the latteir's houso.
Ho refused to sco reporters , saying ho did
not wish to leave the bcdsido of his wounded
friend and counsel. Ono peculiar result of
to-day's affray may be the total loss by Mrs.
Hawson of any possible chance nt u share of
her husband's great wealth. Should she re-
celvo n penitentiary sentence for the assault
on Lawyer Whitney , the aged banker has
only to appear in court and show that his
wife lias become a convicted felon. Ho
would then bo awarded n decree of absolute
divorce.

Jewelry , and a solid gold badge which had
been presented to her son , the drum major of

POTCIUM , Juno 1. [ Now York Hernld
Cable Special to Tun Hni ; . ] To-day proved
to bo delightful as summer for the Imperial
travelers who arrived hero from Uorlln
shortly nftcr noon on the steamer Alexandria
per the river Havel. With tlio emperor , the
empress and the crown prince wcro Sir
Morroll Mackenzie , Drs. Von Wngnor nnd
Hnycllands nnd n suite of attendant officers ,
Thenvcr scenes wcro picturesque through
the throngs of sight-seers , which fnlrly
terraced the banks nnd the waters through
out the route were so thick with plcnsura
crafts nnd small boats of every variety that
with difficulty the imperial steamer threaded
its way. Tlio emperor sut on the outer deck
nnd bomg constantly recognized nnd cheered
ho very good humorcdly nt times raised his
cap. The young prlnecBscc , forming
the center of nn accompanying cnlvncmlo ,
rode the distance through the sylvan scenery
of the Grunwnld. The emperor wore hla
undress general's ' uniform nnd walked from
his pony bath chair on board the steamer.
The crown princess was not on board thd
yacht , but ns the Imperial party passed the
mnrblo pnlaco where she and her family now
reside , she wns out on the balcony with her
sons , the two eldest of whom were in hussar
uniforms to salute them. Sir Morroll Me-
Kenzie's room nt tlio palaeo is ono In which
the present emperor wns born ns shown by

landwchr bntalllon'n troop formed of two
or thrco men from each regiment , who
drill together so ns to Insure n uniform
step throughout the whole Gorman army.
It was observed with pleasure that the
emperor ascended n flight of steps
nnd entered the buroueho without
assistance. The party then drove
to the c.istlo erected by nn early King
Fricdcrich. Along this route , gay with
floral decorations nnd banners , and allvo
with peasants and gentry in holiday attire ,
the kaiser was still moro heartily greeted.
When the imperial party drove past the Sans
Souci palace , built by Frederick the Great
and his favorite residence , all wcro charmed
with the sight of n thousand pupils of the
kindergarten in all varieties of ages and cos
tumes singing a chorus n childish song of
welcome. It is understood that , the emperor
enjoyed the trip nnd is the better for it.
Much of the city is illuminated bore this
evening. All manufacturing men , Including
those of the great rifle works , had a holiday ,
and as the railway ride from Uorlln Is less

Trnflles In Chinese Girls I-'or Purposes
of Prostitution.
VICTOKIA , 13. C. , June 1. [ Special Telegram -
gram to Tin : Hni : . ] A story is published in
the Victoria Times which rlvnls the famous
exposures made by the Pall Mull Gazette.
For some time there has been n qunck , so-
culled magnetic healer , known ns "Prof. "
Mcnzics , around here. He had secured quito
a business among the credulous , but it was
lately discovered that his real business is
tralllcing in Chinese girls , buying and selling
them ns a farmer would a cow or horse , the
only difference being that these poor unfor
tunate slave girls are sold for purposes of
prostitution. There exists hero a "homo , " n
kind of i ofonnatory for Chinese girls rescued
from n life of slinmo. Mcnzies recently en
ticed two girls away from this homo and sold
ono to n Chinaman of this city for ? l.r > 0. HO
got n marriage license , rcprcscntingtliat this
legally married the Chinaman and the girl.
He could not induce any minister of the city
to perform the ceremony unless some
rustworthy interpreter wns present. The
Chinaman discovered the imposition and had
produced the receipt for J.1.10 which ho paid
for tlio girl and marriage license. Mcnzics
lias smuggled the other girl over the border ,
probably to Portland or San Francisco ,
where the price for Chinese girls Is from
SbCO to f j.fiOO , and tdio Is now probably again
an inmate of the infamous dens of Chinese
prostitution which exist in nil the cities of
tlio const. Mcnzies has nn accomplice , a
womnn well known to the police , who gee
by the name of Mrs Crawford. She at
tempted to smuggle the latter girl , who wns

nnd placed in the "homo. " The exposure ,
although It was well known that such busi
