system of IocbI government in the four countries which form the United Kingdom." No words could be plainer, nana moro emphatic. They were also in tho tullest degree deliberate and authorized. Thero was not ono dissentent murmur raised against them among tho members of the Tory party, and it was understood by Lord Randolph that the declaration thus made received the full and entire approval of the leaders of the Unionists, Nor was this alL In September. 188B, when the supply bill was being somewhat hotly contested by the Irish members Lord Randolph, again speaking, officially and in the name of the Government, gave an even more specific pledge. "I think," he said, "that the functions of the Board of Works and the Local Government Board call for tbe most careful consideration from the Government, with a view to tholr development as far as may be in accordance with Irish ideas and desires.

It Is the decided intention of the Government to make proposals to Parliament at tho earliest opportunity, which I hope maybe the next session (this session of 1887). The object of theso proposals will be to place the control of all these questions in the hands of the Irish people." Great preparations have been made to give Lord Churchill a demonstration of welcome such as has seldom been witnessed at Preston. GENERAL WOLSKLE? AND LORD SALISBURY. "Will Lord Wolseley resign?" is tho universal question, which up to a late hour this afternoon remained undecided. While no one ventures to assert positively that the adjutant general will take this step as an answer to tbe rebuke of Lord Salisbury, yet bis resignation Is assuredly looked for General Wolseley's tactics in ventllatiug the weakness of the army is generally condemned, even outside Government circles.

The Timet says that the Premier's rebuke to Lord Wolseley, In the House of Lords yesterday, was deserved, and that his recent language Is calculated to do serious mischief. The Daily News says that It is "mischievous to employ phrases that convey panic in their meaning, and not to give details. If one cannot toll tbe whole truth he should hold his tongue." On the other hand the whole of the military party and a large number of Commoners back Lord Wolseley in his statements. They bellevo'lhat he has taken the only course that will arouse the Government to a true sense of the condition of the country's defenses. General Sir E.

B. Hamlay, the author of "Tbe Operations of War," although Jealous of Lord Wolseley, holds the same views as the latter regarding tbe army. He believes that the country Is In a condition of dangerons Insecurity, and considers tbe volunteer service ineffective. It Is hinted that it is Just possible that the whole affair Is a well planned Tory scheme concocted to dlstraot public attention from other matters, and XV ECHSLEK ABKAHAM.

Mr. Liney Tracy Fails to "Pulverize" George Blaucbe The announcement that Liney Tracy, a local pugilistic heavy weight, would box Le Blanche, the three rounds, Marquis of Queens berry rules, at Hyde Beh man's Tbeater on Saturday night was made repeatedly last week.

Mr. Tracy's friends predicted loudly on street corners and In barrooms that be lnteuded to pulverize the Marine. Tracy Is taller, heavier and In every way much larger than Le Blanche, and so It was thought that Liney would hare a pugilistic picnic last nlgbc Le Blanche is very fat and consequently unfitted for a three round encounter with a man in condition. The knowledge of this fact caused Mr. Tracy's friends to rub tbeir bands gleefully and set down Le Blanche's defeat as a foregone conclusion.

But tbe Marine is a game man and he was not in the least alarmed at tbe prospect of meeting tbe heavy weight who intended to pulverize him. As a matter offset, the Marine yearned for an opportunity to get what he elegantly termed "a punch or two at Tracy's broad basket." Hyde Behman's Theater was crowded last nlgbt with people who same to see the Marine pulverized. Mr. Tracy's frieuds were present in large numbers and there were many politicians in the audience. A few friends of the Marine from New York were in a private box, Jimmy Wakely occupying a front seat.

When tbe time for the set to arrived it was announced that Mr. Tracy would nor appear In bis great pulverizing act. No excuse was given for his absence and tbe audience Was greatly disgusted. It seems that Mr. Tracy was not present because be was sick "in bis some one in tbe audience said.

Tbe fat Marlue smiled sardonically when told that the doughty Tracy would not turn up. Pat Farley took tbe place of the missing slugger, and by bis agility and skill in ducking avoided being knocked out. Tbe Marine tried bard to knock Farley out, but could not get close enough to Patrick. He did succeed, however, In getting a blow or two in on Patrick's 'stomach, which may Interfere with hia appetite this morning. The large audience left the tbeater very much disgusted with Mr.

Tracy. AMONG THE AMATEUR ACTORS. Tbe ItltlpoAeue'ii Lmt Performance. Untertaintnent by Sons of Veteran To morrow evening the Melpomene present "May Blossom" at the Atheneum, with a choice cost. This will be the final performance of the society this season.

Hook aud Ladder Men Accused of Acting; in a Disgraceful Manner. Residents of Greenpoint avenue complain that some of the members of Fire Department Truck No. 6 are giving tho truck bouse an unpleasant reputation. These firemen congregate at the doors of the house at nightfall and are accused of insulting women who, unaccompanied by male escorts, pass the doors. Complaints have beeu made to tbe foreman, who has made strenuous efforts to abate the nuisauce to no avail.

He baj announced his attempts to each new complalnaut, who say that If he is unable to put a stop to it it Is about time that Fire commissioner John Enuis showed his hand. The trouble has gone so far that women mane a wide detour in going to their homes in preference to pooling the truck house. LONG ISLAND WHEELMEN.

C. M. Bobbins, of this city, a traveling collector in the employ of the well known New York publishing bouse ot Cassell committed suicide at the Jervls House, Syracuse, yesterday morning. For several years he had been accustomed to spend bis spare time in Syracuse, aud at one time made the city bis headquarters for a year. A week ago Thursday be went tbere from Cleveland and registered at tbe Jervls House, where he was assigned to Room 15, his regular apartment He bad been upon a protracted spree and appeared so dejected and despondent that his condition was noticed and commented upon by the other boarders at the bote), with most of whom be was acquainted.

He confided to A. T. Hamilton, the proprietor of the bouse that he was discouraged with lite. In fact, he said be had got about through with working so bard as he did and getting nothing for his efforts He declared his Intention Jumping into tbe canal, or taking his lite in some other way, but little attention was paid to his threats, as he was at tbe time in a semi intoxicated condition. Last Sunday Bobbins seemed so.

determined to take bis life that MrrHamlltou locked blm in the bath room all day. Robblns told Mr. Hamiitou that be was bound to go back to New York "feet first," as be expressed it, and asked for an extra room wherein to accommodate his wife, who would have to oe summoned from here to superintend his transportation. On Friday afternoon he called at Baton's drug store, In East Genesee street, and bought three grains of morphine. He asked Mrs.

Eaton if It would hurt him to take It all, aud was informed that one third ot It would kill blm. Suspecting something wrong, Mrs. Baton asked him to return It, but Robblns refused, saying, It is all right," and went out. Lator in tbe afternoon he went t3 bis room aud lay down upon the bed. In the evening Mr.

Hamilton went to Room No. 15 and Bobbins told blm to send up a cup of coffee. About 10 o'clock he again went to the room and found Robblns apparently asleep. Tbe coffee was upon the table untouched. Mr.

Hamiitou loosened bis necktie and left blm. At midnight the servants heard blm move, and at half past six o'clock yesterday morning, when the porter went to tbe reom, be found Robblns dying, and he summoned Mrs. Miller, the housekeeper, and a physician. Dr. F.

W. Sears, who auswered tbe call at once, discovered tbe cause of the man's sickness and went te work with a wilL After halt an hour's effort the patient revived, but sosn sank into a stupor, from which all etfortB to rally him were unsuccessful.

The Seawanhaka Boat Club, of the Eastern District, hod their Spring opening yesterday. The boat bouse, at the foot ot South Tenth street, was crowded with visiting patrons of aquatlo sports and social organizations during tbe Tbe house, which bas two stories and a broad piazza on tbe water front, is one of tbe finest in tbls or probably any other (ity In the country.

Tbe elub was organized in 1668 and bas a building erected on Newtown Creek, east of the Hunter's Point bridge. Most of tbe leading oarsmen of the country in those days made the creek a resort and belonged to the club or to tbe Arllngtons. Tbe Blgllus. Englehardt, Maxwell, Eeppel, Pilklngton and other noted oarsmen were members of the Sea wanbakas, while dozens ot others without any club connections exercised on the water, and were the guests of tbe club. Hnnlon aud Courtney's oars plowed through tbe still waters, and all the great strokes who rowed in the vicinity of the Metropolis practiced on tbe creek aud made the Seawanhaka House Its headquarters.

Among the presidents of the club In those days were Frederick A. Fox, Mr. Goodnow, and William Wilson. As neurly all the members of the club resided in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Nineteenth Wards, it was decided to move the club bouse to tbo East River. The dock foot of South Tenth street was secured and the boat house was towed from the creek there.

It sank after the first year, but It was raised and now with the alterations and renovations is one of the finest in this State. The annual regattas ot the club bave been notable and very pleasant and sociable events. Tbe affairs included water oxcurslons to some pleasant grove on the Sound. A stranger as a guest of the club would imagine that there was only a social side to it, but wben the members are on the water they oxhlbit a different spirit. For tbe past two years they have held the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Cup, de foating'all competitors la the regattas of tbe Long Islaud Amateur Rowing Association.

Tbe Sea wanhabas last season won seven out of tbe nine events in tbe regatta. One ot tbe Seawanhaka's crews also won In the Spring regatta of the Harlem River Association. Tbe programme for this year Is about the same as last. In the Harlem River Association Regatta pair oared shells, double soulls and four oared sculls will be entered. Tho tour oared boat will be manned by A.

Rave, bow; R. H. Pelton, No. S. Outcbess, No.

John J. Fogarty, etroke; A. Hut ton, substitute. Fair oared shell, Rave and Fog arty. A crew will be sent to the National Regatta at Washington in July, and to the Schuylkill Regatta at Philadelphia ou Decoration day.

In the Long Island amateur regatta the Sea wanhaka oarsmen will enter for every event. The Seawanhakas have a bouse on Newtown Creek for tbe tralniug of crews alone. Dr. 8. C.

Blalsdell, the captain of the club, feels proud of the record which the club oarsmen bare made. On tbe 13tb ef June of this year the club will hold Its annual excursion and regatta at Oriental Grove, on the Sound. Chair man of the Excursion Committee Wm. F. Matthias Is sanguine that the event will eclipse any of its predecessors.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the boat house was well filled with members and visitors. Ex President County Clerk Ranken modestly sat In front of the boat house watching tbe tide going out. Representatives from several boat clubs and social organizations were present. Tns members of the City Club of New York were host in themselves. President James Donovan, ex President Jobu Rodman, William V.

Moriarty, John Buckbee and George W. Merrltt contributed largely to the evening's amusement. Mr. M. E.

Flaherty, wh Is a prominent member of the Seawanhakas, City Club and Eckford Club, attended to the guests aud was voted by Mr. Dono van, on the motion of Mr. Buckbee, a Jolly, good fellow. Mr. Mathios was equally courteous to the euests.

It was 6 o'clock when the fleet got ready, under the supervision of Captain Blalsdell, to make a start. There are thirty three boats all told in the club bouse, four of tbem having just been added. Eighteen of the boats belong to the club and tbe remainder to oarsmen of the organization. Tbe whole heel did not start. Tbe boats that went oat were pulled around tbe Cob Dock and the Navy Yard, after which they returned.

Durlusr tbe com paratively brief trip tbe boats were saluted on tbe way by passing ferryboats, as tbe former carried the club flags. There was a race down steam in pair oared gigs between boats manned by Frank Kings laud, stroke; Gerould, bow, and W. F. Mathtas, coxswain, and tbe following crew: Gut. cde.s, stroke; Fisher, bow; 8.

C. Blalsdell, coxswain. After a lively contest tbe Matbias crew won by a long sight, as Mr. Matbias facetiously put It. After tbe rowing events tbe guests of the club were most hospitably entertained for several hours.

Among tbe oarsmen of the organization are Captain Blalsdell. Rave, Fogarty, Blalsdell, Pelton, Gutchess, Button, Jaok Ames, Weeks, Fisher, Elngsland Assistant District Attorney Clarke and Gerould.

f.ittlemrooU ...611 2 Ciuorrero 590 Herty 573 5 Norciiac. 532 2 Golden 530 2 flugbes 45 4 Campana 380 2 An immense crowd of people gathered in Madison Square Garden, New York, last evening to see Llttlewood perform what his trainers so confidently proclaimed he would do beat Albert's record. They reached the Garden in time to see a poor, broken down man hobbling around the track very painfully, gazing wistfully at his score and anon at the clock, and gradually yielding to the conviction that the record bad downed blm. Here Is how the last hours of Albert and Llttlewood compare: Name. Albert Llttlewood.

601 608 600,602 605607 611,611 At 8:15 yesterday afternoon George Cartwright, attired In a very pretty sky blue suit with black velvet trunks, came ou the track and exhibited his style of running to the spectators. He ran for about a mile at good fast gait, but bis time was not taken. An artist from a cewspaper bad "Old Sport" called and placed standing in front of the reperter's stand at 8:20 o'clock, so he could sketch blm. The old man stood with bis head thrown to one side and tbe money he had received tied in a bunch, on his shirt front When the Job was completed he said, "That picture will never go through tbe press wltbeut breaking it" At 3:30 o'olock there were at least 4,000 persons who had paid SO cents to come into the Garden, and about 500 who had paid (1 for the same privilege with a seat. At 3:80 Littlewoood was one and one quarter miles ahead of the best record and was running easily.

Hughes bad been off the track since 3:40 P. but bis trainer said be would come ou again and go five miles, thus making 500 miles. Llttlewood stuck to it, trying to average his four and a bait miles an hour, so as to make the 6S5 miles he was scheduled for. He said be was sorry they did nor start him earlier in tbe day so be could have made the distance above all ana a little more. Guerrero and Herty went around hand in band laugblug and Joking, and it was evident that Nore mac and Golden were only trying to get gate money place.

At 4 o'clock Llttlewood was only 1 miles abead of the record. At 4:59 Llttlewood finished his 600th mile and was presented with a $20 gold piece. He went around the track, followed by Campana with a new broom, and Guerrero with an American flag. The baud strstck up a lively air and tbe people roared ad libitum. Tbe sight of the "filthy lucre" took the crowd by storm and it cheered ittelf house.

At dusk the crowds in the garden numbered about 4,000. They were constantly coming in, however, aud the prospects for a good house were ex. cellent. The news that Llttlewood bad smashed and was going to beat Albert's record brought many people also. Workmen went about with lougtapers.

lighting tbo many colored gas Jets around the place and the Garden began to assume a bright appear ance. More ladles were In the audience than at any time previous, and their presence servod to add to the general gayness of the place. The weary peds were still trotting on tbe homeward path and though they were applauded frequently no such enthusiasm as was manifested last night made its appearance, Those who came to see Llttlewood beat Albert's rec ord were doomed to be disappointed. They did not know, however, that it was a settled tbing not to beat it, and continued to urge on tbe plucky Eng lishman, who was walking slowly around the track. He looked cheerful and happy, and people said: "He is reserving himself for the last hour." They did not know, though, that the cbeerf ul expression concealed the real feelings of the heroic pedestrian.

His foot was in a most terrlblo condl tlon. Underneath the big toe tbe flesh was seamed and cracked clear through to tbe bone, leaving It almost bare. This was the result of the opening which had appeared from time to time. About 6 o'clock it was known about tbe garden that the Englishman did not intend to break the record, al though he had plenty of time and despite the fact that there was a tempting bait in the shape of a $1,000 note hanging before his eyes. Bromley, his English trainer, said with tbe broad accent peculiar to blm: "No, we don't intend to have blm beat tbe record.

Ho has been beaten three times in the week; rallied every time. He would never quit, though, till he fell dead ou the track. We dou't think thero Is any nones slty for bis beating the record, so be will take it easy until 9 o'clock and then When asked If Llttlewood would enter a race with Bowell, Hazel, Albert, Guerrero, Herty and other picked men, Cromley replied that he would. None of the men were oxertlng themselves. Guerrero looked fresh.

He ran around the track at 7 o'clock with two flags, American and Irish, one over each shoulder, at racing speed. Ho and Herty amused the crowd by giving exhibitions of beel and toe walking. Guerrero was presented with a Chinese baby, made of wood, by an enthusiastic lady admirer. He stuck it up over his score. He also received at 7:45 o'clock an elegant cane from Mrs.

John B. Massn, of the Boston Museum Company. It Is of Malacca, with a silver bead ele gantly chased. This same lady later on presented blm with a magnificent solitaire diamond ring. It was too small for Gua and the lady will have it made larger.

Emll Paul, the champion quail eater, In the afternoon gave Guerrero a solid silver rlug lu the shape of a serpent with two tiny rubles for eyes. Mrs. C. B. Heed, of California, an old friend, presented blm with a bouquet of roses.

Hughes came on tbe track at 8:04. Ho wore a green silk Jockey cap aud bad around hli nock a small American flag. Ho was very stiff and walked slowly around the ring. Tbe crowd eboered Mm. "Old Sport" Campana created a sensation by ap.

pearlng in a flaming red sbirt and an old time fire helmet, with No. 41 on the shield. At 9 o'clock there were almost ten thousand people present and some of the old enthusiasm was manifested as Guerrero, Herty aud Noromac spurted at different intervals. Two bauds of music added to the noise. Liltlewooa came out on bis last legs at 9:40.

Be fore he had got half way down tbe track Guerrero caught him aud linked arms. Champion Albert Joined tbe pair at the press stand. The three walked around tbe track amid the greatest hurrahing, aud the band ployed He's a Jolly good fellow." Llttlewood then retired. He went to tbe Ashland House. Guerrero.

Herty, Golden and Noremac took turns at runnlug around the track with flags streaming over tbeir shoulders. As the men left the track at 9:34, Referee Kennedy, in a neat speech, presented Manager Billy O'Brien with a magnificent basket of roses on behalf of, as tbo card attached stated, George Rayuor, Old Burgess and Old Texas Jack. O'Brien In turn presented tbem to Noremac, who then left the track the last man, at exactly 9:59 o'clock. The great and most exacting go as you please walking match was over and with it ends the Madison Square Garden as a resort of public pleasure. Tbe band played "Home, Sweet Home," and tho great assemblage of 10,000 enthusiasts slowly disappeared.

Tbe little parti colored lights twinkled for a whUe and then died out. The noise and bustle was all over and in half an hour the Garden was as quiet as a church. AU of the pedestrians, with the Lord Salisbury Preparing for Possible Contingencies. Are the British Army anrLlSavy Beady for War Blemarok and Russia Trouble in the East. What Will General Wolseley Do PersonaI and Political Gossip.

Copyright, 1S88. London, May 13. Lord Salisbury and his colleagues hare at length, grown uneasy at the constant attacks of German newspapers, the growing antipathy of the German people against England, and the demonstrations of Kussia toward Central Asia, and are now hastily preparing the British army and navy for any contingencies that may arise. Tbero Is hardly any doubt that the majority of the German press, especially those newspapers which take their cue from Prince Bismarck, ara being deliberately employed to make the name of England hated throughout the empire, and the upshotof the whole business is that England and eTerything English are to the last degree unpopular, especially in Prussian ministerial circles. There are, of Bourse, many Prussians, and even a few Prussian newspapers, of a different way of thinking.

But with the followers of Prince Bismarck national hatreds and Jealousies of this kind are not merely defonded but warmly adopted, as the true sign of patriotism. Nearly forty ene years ago Prince Bismarck made his first Important speech in the Prussian Parliament A member, alluding to the German uprising of 1813, refused to admit the Idea that the enthusiasm of those times was merely due to haired of the French, and added "a noble and civilized people like the Prussian knows no national Hatreds." After he sat down Prince Bismarck, who was then only Captain Otto Von Schonhausen, got up aud said that In his opinion all other feelings were then "silenced by the hatred against the foreigner." The words were then receired with protest and dissent; nowadays it appears they would be taken as matter of course In Germany. It Is a very strange game that Prince Bismarck has of late been playing. The German press iu general Is a mere organ whoso tops he can pull out or push in at pleasure, and If a terrible noise has been made about the Batten berg match aud the name of England has been constantly dragged into the dispute it is because be wills it so. The Battenberg affair having in a great measure died out the attacks ara now directed against the supposed English Influences at the German imperial court and against the "useless English cannulas," to which Emperor Frederick's frequent relapses are attributed.

English statesmen are beginning to believe that these newspaper emanations are the Inception of Borne scheme of Prince Bismarck to the detriment of England and the aggrandizement of Kussia which will culminate on the death of Emperor Frederick. The latter event cannot be very far off, as. those in London who are likely to be best acquainted by diroct Information from Sir MoreU Mackenzie as to the progress of the Emperor's disease now admit that Frederick is dying. This fact has been known to the British Cabinet for some time and undoubtedly has acted as a powerful incentive In hastening England's war preparations, ol which Secretary of War Stanhope gave an outline on Wednesday. Many of England's best soldiers and sailors, among them Lord Wolseley and Lord Charles Beresford, however, claim that the steps being taken to place England In a proper state of defense aro entirely Inadequate.

They say that so long as the army and navy are governed by civilians nothing else could be expected. In plain English this means that Mr. Stanhope and Lord George Hamilton are exciting against the Judgment of Lord Wolseley and Lord Charles Beresford that the public are being hoodwinked into supposing that these fighting offlcersap prove of what is being done.and that the whole argument alms at securing, not the safety of the country but the reputation of Mr. Goschen as a financier. A number of Tories are already asking whether it would not be worth while sacrificing one or two Secretaries of State, and even so promising a Jonah as Mr.

Goschen, if by so doing the country could be made safe against the Invasion which the War Office experts have for some mouths been stating Is present a practical undertaking. BISMARCK AND RUSSIA. A good many observers are asking themselves whether Bismarck's excessive tenderness toaard Russia is calculated either to conciliate that power or to strengthen the genetal policy to which Bismarck is committed. Whatever he may do or say he will always be hated and distrusted in Kussia. Russia knows that he made the Austro German alliance against the wlsnes the late Emperor, and that the alliance was directed against her.

Prince Bismarck will never win Russia, except by sacrificing that policy and that means sacrificing Austria. It is no wonder that Austria looks on uneasily and wonders wheihor Prince Bismarck means to throw her to the wolves, as he declared hlmsell reauy to uo witu Bulgaria. Dispatches from Vienna this eveulug report that the situation in the East is anything but reassuring. All trace of optimism, which has so long characterized official opinion, has disappeared and all is gloomy aud despondent in Government circles. The position of tne Bulgarian Government ha3 become Intolerable to Kussia.

There is agitation iu different parts of the Balkau Stales, and as was to be expected, there are igus of renewed trouble in Macedonia. The Bulgarian element in that province Is on the move. The Turkish authorities, supported by the Mussulman populati.n, are resorting to strong measures of repression. Meanwhile accounts coming from the Pellsh frontier give particulars of Russian military preparations which are evidently to a great extent founded on tact. Accordiug to these accounts the headquarters of the frontier army is with the general staff at Klschereff.

There ate sub dlvlslous at Kainenoc, Jarmolince and Prosklroft That will be the 11 rut line of attack and is formed of cavalry, principally dragoons. They are at preseuc constantly engaged In outpost drill on the roads leading to the Galacian frontier. The second line consists of infantry, the staffs of which are quartered at Harsyn, Braclaw, Tulczyn uud Neimrow. Besides these troops a considerable number of chasseurs arecantonel In th same direction. This portion of the frontier army constitutes an uninterrupted chain, each link comprising one, two or three battalions.

The remainder are stationed at Krasilow, Kos tatluow, Korsemcence, Zaslaw and Ostororog, where there are also magazines. A large en trenohed camp Is at Mlendzlborz. Moat of the ar Utiery is at Kamlnec, Mlendzlborz, Winica and Kosemlenlc It is difficult to fix the number of troops, bunt is believed that tbero are fifty regiments of cavalry on the Galacian frontier, not including Cossack. WHAT WILL CHURCHILL 8 AT? Political circles are exceedingly anxious regarding the speech which Lord Randolph Churchill win deliver at Preston on Wednesday next. He will then address the constituents of Mr.

who alone, among the Conservative members, followed Vis example in walking out of the House before tne divlsiou on the Irish Local Government bill on April 26. Lord Randolph will take this opportunity of defending his actions in recalling his pledges made In the name of Tory Government, regarding the Irish question immediately on the reassembling of Parliament In August, 1686. Lord Randolph Churchill, as leader of the House of Commons, then declared, on behalf of the Government, that "the great sign posts of our policy are equality, similarity and, if I may use auoh a word, simultaneity, as far as it Is practicable In the development of a genuinely popular Proceeding of Ibe Memorial Committee of tbe G. A. R.

The same gentlemen said that tbere would be a memorial meeting Sunday, May 27, at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, at 7:45 P. at which Mayor Chapln would preside, and addresses would be delivered by General W.

T. Sherman and Stewart L. Woodford, Colonel David E. Austen, Hon. Setb Low and the Rev.

T. De Witt Talmage. Resolutions were offered and passed that tbe Grand Army Memorial Committee would meet at headquarters and proceed la a.body to tbe Tabernacle in uniform. A letter from General J. G.

Faruswortb, at Albany, was read stating that records are belnc made in Washington of tbe New York State Volunteers, and asking that the Legislature be called upou to appropriate money sufficient to pay the twenty live clerks now doing the work. Letters were received from Congressmen Bliss, Mafaoney, Felix Campbell, S. V. White and Senator Ingalls, stating they would support the bill appro priating $50,000 for tbe erection of a monument to the Prison Ship Martyrs on Fort Green. A letter was receired from Fred Cocheu, stating he bad been advised to have Police Commissioner Bell arrested for not giving him employment, and asking the assistance of the Grand Army lu bring ing his case before tbe courts.

On motion the communication was laid on tbe table. Mortimer C. Earl, from tbe Committee on Public Ceremonies, reported that the proposed Hue of march will begin at Broadway and Bedford avenue, thence to Lafayette to Clermont to Wllloughby ave nues to Cumberland street to Lafayette avenue to South Oxford street to Hansou place to Flatbusb. avenue, where tbe procession will bo dismissed.

The Board ot Aldermen and tbe Supervisors were invited to review the procession, and Mark D. Wilber and the Rev. Dr. IngersoU were asked to deliver orations at Cypress Hills. The report was adopted by a unanimous vote and the meeting adjourned.

THE SALVATIONISTS' ANNIVERSARY. A Temperance Jubiloo With a Big llrBm Band Accompaniment The Salvation Army of America, as one feature of Its eighth anniversary, held a great temperance Jubilee at tbe ball in Pineapple and Fulton streets last night. Previous to the Jubilee tbere was a street parade, led by a drum major with a hat as large as a dour barrel. Captain Will Moore's Second Crusade Band of twenty wind pieces woke up the eluners all along lower Fulton street, and wero followed into the ball at 8 o'clock by a boBt of unconverted from tbe alUotralki. The Jailer found the Jubilee rather tame and before an hour had passed bait of the unconverted host were In the streets again.

The meeting opened with the song "Marching On, Marching On," tho chorus of which may bave been beard at Coney Island. While tbe music was still iu progress tbe army proceeded to knee drill, so that there was no intermission to check the enthuslam between the song and the prayers. General Moore said that he had known some people that drank only water that were nevertheless "full of tbe devil." Many soldiers wbo had once been drunkards told of their conversion. There was a call for now converts, and after come bad come forward and been enrolled General Booth announced that upstairs there was ice cream at 25 cents a dish for those who were overbeated.

A. it, George R. Bald win, commander, will assemble at tbe Thirteenth Regiment armory at 6:30 P. M. and proceed to the North Reformed Church on Clermont avenue, near Myrtle, where a memorial address will be delivered by tbe Rev.

William D. Ferry. Several other organizations of tbe G. A. E.

will be present. to make It easier to raise money for army estimates The following facts are worthy of note: The Duke of Cambridge, commander in chief of the army, and Lord Salisbury have been In frequent co nfer nee during the past week; Mr. Lawson. proprietor. of the Telegraph and well known 'as the loader of the Scarlet party, had a consultation with Mr, Will iam Henry Smith, M.

the Government leader, at tbe latter's private house, before to day's Cabinet meeting. Bitter conflicts wage between the permanent political secretaries of all the Government departments. There is to be an important meeting of the Defense Committee on Monday in the city, when the Government should show their hand. The budget has been arraigned by a species of legislation, and now the press is crying that England is in danger. It looks as though a train had been laid and these were merely a sequence of events by means of wblch tbe country would beeorae alarmed, and the Government can say, "The public demand this new expense, not we, but we must satisfy the public" If the desire was to startle tbe public, tbelr wish certainly is accomplished, and no doubt the Government will In duetllme disclose the rest of Its pinna.

Mr. Gladstone and Mr. John Morley were In consultation to day about the sentences of Mr. Dillon. An adjournment of the House will probably be moved on Monday night in order to call attention to this matter.

Mr. Villon has been convicted chiefly on account of speeches which he delivered before tbe Coercion law was passed, despite the Govern ment's promise to tbe contrary. The Homo of Commons will probably rise on Thursday, the 17th Inst, for tbe Wbltsun recess. After tbe holidays most of the new rules for the admission of stran gers into the gallery of the House will be put into. effect.

Mr. Gladstone has recovered from his attack of lumbago, and Is as strong as ever. The report that Qjeea Natalie of Servia will return to Belgrade Is doubted, as her offense can be proved by documents. There Is no doubt that she is conspiring to depose Milan, her royal spouse, In favor of her bod, with herself as regent, until Prince Alexander, who Is now 12 years of age, comes to his majority. The Queen" bas a large following, both among tbe army and tbe populace, to whom she Is endeared.

Her return would certainly mean the dethronement of King Milan and the throwing of Servia into tho hands of Russian agents, who stand ready for such a golden opportunity. There is now little hope of the Emperor Dom Pedro's recovery. His strong constitution is gone, as tbe present attack Is a complicated one of long standing diabetes. If Emperor Frederiok continues to improve he will be removed to Potsdam at the end of this month after Prince Henry's wedding, and Dr. Mackenzie will then avail himself af the opportunity and make a visit of a week to London.

The troubles of the Ameer of Afghanistan are Increasing. It is reported that tbe Dbegsheds living between Herat and Kushk have revolted, and have already met the Ameer's troops in battle. Tbe polling at the parliamentary division of Stephen's Green bas been vary spirited. Tbe result will be declared on Monday. AIDING THE HOME FOR CONSUMPTIVES.

The festival in behalf of the Home for Consumptives being held In the Assembly Rooms of the Academy of Music was well patronized last might and wilt be continued Mouday on account of the inclement weather of Friday. Owing to the baste In which Mrs. HolllnsUead prepareoMhe list of tables and names of tbe ladies attending them that lady unfortunately overlooked two of tho most prominent one of which has been taking In 150 a day slnco the fair opened. This is the Aprou Table, attended by Mesdames J.

A. McMlcken, U. B. Plaut, John U. Hunter, Julia Creamer, L.

C. Stuart and the Misses Louise Newman and Maggie Atkins. The Japanese Fan Table was the other one overlooked. It bas been doing a bonanza bualuegs and is presided over by Mrs. William Mix, Mrs.

H. V. V. Braman, Mrs. C.

B. Tatham and the Misses F. Nightingale, Mary Francis and Clara Lock wood. The Mrs. President Cleveland doll, which is to be presented to that lady or Mrs.

Mayor Cuanin, whoever of tbe two gets the more votes, Is still in the market, the vote standing last night 53 to 35 in favor of Mrs. Chapln. The Japanese gong formerly belonging to H. W. Beecberand now owned by the Boa.

S. V. White, was ringing at intervals during the evening. It is valued at 1300. The Art Stand, presided over by Mrs.

Titcomb, has not been doing as well as was expected, and yet it is tbe most valuable table In tbe rooms, as the pictures and other works of art are designed by tbe most eminent artists. The head and bust of a Brooklyn girl is a splendid specimen of the work of Mrs. Titcomb, tbe sculptress. Taking everything altogether, the ladies have no cause for complaint, for the festival is a pronounced success so far, aud will net a large sum of money. LABltS O.N THE WHEEL.

The Brooklyn Ladies' Trieycle Club propose to make trips during the season through Prospect Park to Coney Island. The Park Commissioners have given them permission ate the paths lu the park at all hours. Last Wednesday evening a party of ten started from the park at 8 o'clock, crossed the bridge and returned all through a drenching shower, arriving at the club house Id a ratber bedragEled condition. They do not seem to be afraid of the weather when they can ride the tricycle. SLASHED HIS THROAT WITH A RAZOR.
