BARTHOLDI SEES IT. The spot of ground on which Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the great statue of Liberty', set foot first yesterday was the green sward at the base of the stupendous figure of bronze that is his handiwork. The entire company of distinguished Frenchmen whom the French government sent over with the sculptor to take part in the ceremonies of the unveiling were grouped about him, and near them was the American committee of welcome.

London, October 27.—The Times corres pondent at Madrid says that S' nor Maret, Spanish foreign minister, and Mr. Curry, United States minister, are botli to be con gratulated upon the commercial arrange ment their respective governments have agreed upon mid which pleases both par ties. The correspondent adds: “If tlio Americans wished to secure exclusive rights for their flag, they did not succeed. From the moment the question was first raised Mr. Ford, British minister, on behalf of England, has contended that the English flag was entitled to equal treatment. It is understood that this view has been con ceded by Spain, and also that France and Germany, although their shipping inter ests are less important, will come In on the same footing with England. The enter prise displayed by Marquis de Coinillos, owner of I lie Trans-Atlmitique fleet, is a noteworthy symptom of the material progress of Strain and the Spaniards in thus competing with and beating the Americans ou their own ground." THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. I'piiriitiotiN for a RiiHiiiiig anil of Teiiolior». Corps Baltimore, October 27.- A meeting of the Catholic University hoard was held to day at the cardinal’s palace.

St. Lorrs, October 27.—There nre no new developments in the Adams express robbery at this writing. Superintendent Daniels was seen at his office this morning and said that he gave the Associated Press all of the facts in the ease ns far as they had come to his knowledge yesterday, and absolutely nothing new has turned up since. In regard to the report that Mes senger Fortheringhnm lias made a confes sion, lie stated that there was no truth in it; that they were working oil the theory that the messenger’s story wiih true, lie said the latter has not been arrested nor placed under surveil, but of his own accord was in constant communi cation with tlie officers of the county and detectives who have the ease in hand, and is assisting them as much ns lie is able in their attempt lo discover the where abouts and identity of the robber. A dispatch from Springfield, received here this morning, giving the story of a man who traveled from SI. Louis with an individual who answered the robber’s description, and whose satchel con tained a large number of bank notes tied up in packages, was shown Damsel, lie said that if the story was true, it was a very important discovery, hut there was ho many stories afloat of ii like nature, that it was difficult to select the probable from the improbable ones. They would investi gate the occurrence, but lie doubted if it would lead to a discovery of the robbers. Fotheringham wasseen at the company’s office 1 his morning by a reporter, to whom he told the story of the robbery, lie made a statement in a frank, straight forward manner, without the slightest hint at embarrassment or confusion. He said llmt lie was well aware that circum stantial evidence pointed strongly to his being an accessory to the robbery, but that he had nothing to conceal and was confi dent. that the result of an investigation would clear him of all suspicion. The only point in tlie messenger’s state ment not given out yesterday is that the robber told Fotheringham that he Imd an accomplice upon the train who if he (the robberi was unable to carry out his plans unaided would come to his as sistance.

First—It is positively understood that from this date an absolute equalization of tonnage and import duties will at once be applied to tlie products of and articles pro ceeding from the United States, or from any foreign country in vessels owned by citizens of the United States, to the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and that no high er or other import or tonnage duties will he levied upon such vessels and merchan dise carried in them as aforesaid than are imposed upon Spanish vessels and their cargoes.

This memorandum of *«greenieiit is offered by the government of Spain and accepted by the government of the United Stub s as a full and satisfactory notification of the facts above recited. . 4 Second—The United States minister at Madrid will be authorized to negotiate with the minister for foreign affairs, either by an agreement or treaty, so as to place the commercial relations between the United States and Spain on a permanent footing, advantageous to both countries. In witness whereof the undersigned, in behalf of the governments of the United States and Spain respectively, have here Bellefonte, Pa., October 27.—Blaine 1 made a speech here to-day and the town is I pretty well worked up with excitement, i Before the Blaine party arrived at Belle- j fonte this morning there was a lively time i among politicians and citizens generally. 1 The cause of it was a store order quest Jon. It was stated that Gray Meek, editor of I the Watchman, posted up a lac-simile of 1 an alleged store order in the window of his office. Tlie Beaver club, seeing it, i broke ranks and demanded that it he i taken down. They claim that they first entered the office and requested [ that it he removed on the ground that it reflected on them as much as upon | Beaver, and meeting wit h a refusal they i tore it down, but another was immediately I posted up. This infuriated them, and a | volley of stones was sent crushing through ■ the window. Meek hastily summoned tlie j sheriff, and a number of the club were ar- I rested. A great crowd followed them to j a magistrate’s oflice, where the accused I were all held under bail. In the parade 1 were banners bearing the inscription, “We , are paid in cash, and Gray Mock knows in this city this morning, and has been in conference with Superintendent Damsel concerning the robbery. It is thought they will offer a large reward for the cap ture of the robber. Fotheringham in relating in detail his experience with the robber, to-day said: “After binding me, Cummings,as lie called himself, took the key to the safe from my pocket, unlocked the safe and took the pouches out. He then took his grip sack and opening it, tried to force the pouches in without opening them, but could not do so. He then took his knife from his pocket, cut the pouches open and removed their contents. He removed some articles of clothing from his hug and threw them out of the window of the south side of the car. We were then somewhere near Merrimun, I should judge, for we had just passed through tlio tunnel. lie transferred the money to his bag and was then ready to make; his es cape. Before he left he said to me: “ ‘You would bo surprised if I told you who I am.’ I said, ‘I don’t know as I would.’ ‘Well,’ he continued, ‘I am Jim Cummings, the last of the Jesse Janie-i gang. I was in that Blue Cut job and only got ■rlfiOO out of it. Since then I have pafcsed considerable time in Australia and Han Francisco ’ “He seemed familiar with the names and doings of the various member* of the j James gang. When we began talking he ' removed the gag from my mouth, but ! when the train reached a point near Puei- • fie, he replaced it so that I could make no i outcry, in the meantime • threatening to 1 blow my braius out if 1 attempted to itt- I tract any one’s attention.” j To test the messenger’s statement a ! search was made for the clothes, which he said tin* robber had thrown from the train. 1 On the southside of the. track near Morriman, several articles of ; clothing and some old papers and printed songs were found and have been brought ■ to this city. One of the garments measured about thirty-eight inches around the waist, hearing out Fotheringham’* statement as to the size of the wearer, who is supposed, of course, to he tlie robber. A number sixteen collar was also found. Fothcring- ham’s statements have thus far been re- ' nmrkably clear and straightforward and free, from contradiction. Tho opinion is 1 gaining strength that the messenger was in no way accessory t > the robbery. DEVOTED UNTO DEATH. nun Kills ii fliihl to lion.

A club near by is supposed to have been the weapon, on the t.*nd of it was found some hair corresponding to t lie child’s.

For a year she has had charge of the boy and became at tached to him. lie was to have been taken away soon, a place having been found for him in u family.
