Boom For Governor Taylor, Knoxville, June 27. —From a prom inent democratic politician here it was learned that there is being worked up a boom for Governor Robert L. Tay lor for the presidential nomination. Governor Taylor’s popularity over the country and his views on silver, it is claimed, will insure for him the solid support of several states. His name will certainly be put up at Chicago. Altgeld Denies the Statement. Springfield, Ills., June 27.—There is nothing whatever of truth in the state ment sent out from here that Governor Altgeld was planning a coup to secure the nomination of ex-Congressman Wil liam R.

Baron von Ber lepsch, the Prussian minister of com merce, has resigned, and his resignation will probably be accepted. The proba bable resignation of Baron Von Ber lepsch has been discussed for a long time past. There has been an ill feeling be tween the minister of commerce and Dr. von Boetticher, the imperial secre tary of state for the interior, since last November, occasioned by the fact that Dr. Von Boedicker, president of the Im perial Insurance office, prematurely pub lished some plans of his own to the effect that reforms in the system of old age insurance would be instituted.' This angered Dr. von Boetticher. Baron von Berlepsch came to the support of Dr. von Boedicker in the quarrel, and at one time it was reported that both Baron von Berlepsch and Dr. von Boetticher would resign. JUDGE GOFF’S DECREE. Order, the Sale of th. Norfolk and West ern Railroad—The Company Insolvent. Norfolk, June 27.—Hon. Nathan Goff, judge of the United States circuit court, has entered a decree ordering the sale of the Norfolk and Western rail | road. He appointed George E. Bowden | and Charles Sharp, both of Norfolk, as r special masters to sell the road, on a day or days to be fixed by them. The sale will take place at the depot ■of the railroad company in Norfolk, a THE ROHE TRIBUNE. The lowest bid must not be less than $3,000,000, and no bid can be received without a deposit in cash or certified check of SIOO,OOO or $300,000 par value of bonds, and the successful bidder must deposit at once $250,000 in cash orcheck, or $750,000 in bonds. The decree declares the company wholly insolvent, and the foreclosure is ordered because of default in the pay ment of interest on what is known as the 100-year mortgage, which is of date Oct. 29, 1889. This mortgage was for the issue of bonds to the amount of $10,190,000, under which the decree states there is a present indebtedness— principal, the coupons and interest —ag- gregating $17,528,728.20. The decree states that the said 100-year mortgage is a valid and subsisting lien on all the property of the road and its branches, including rolling stock, floating prop erty, shops, stations, lauds, piers, ware houses, elevators, etc. The lien of said 100-year mortgage is subject, however, to certain other mortgages.

VESSELS TO BE DETAINED. Surgeon Wyman Trying to Prevent the In troduction of Fever In This Country. Washington, June 27.—1 n accord ance with the quarantine laws author izing the surgeon general to promulgate such additional regulations as may be necessary for the disinfection and de tention of vessels from ports suspected but not positively known to be infected with yellow fever, Surgeon General Wyman has issued a new and very stringent order. It provides that during the active quarantine season, continuing until Nov. 1 next, all vessels from ports in the West Indies, on the east coast of Mexico, Central and South America, as far south as and including ports in the Rio Platte, in Peru, Ecuador, Columbia and on the west coast of Central America and Mexico arriving at the national quarantine stations shall be detained and treated in accordance with the pro visions of the quarantine regulations for domestic ports. The terms of this order are practically in accordance with the prevailing regu lations of all southern states and local quarantines. It has sometimes hap pened that in a consul’s bill of health from a suspected port full information is not given, and the medical officer is necessarily in doubt. Again, the ma rine hospital service may at times re ceive by cable information concerning an infected port which' is subsequent to that in the bill of health or the weekly statement issued by the hospital service. The marine hospital service is advised that the ypllow fever is very prevalent in the island of Cuba, but not particu larly bad in the city of Havana itself. City of Buffalo Breaks the Record. Cleveland, June 27.—A struggle for supremacy took place in a race between the two most modern and magnificent steamships on the great lakes, the course being laid between this city and Buf falo. The steamer Northwest, brought out last season by the Northern Steam ship company,* and the City of Buffalo, launched this spring and managed by the Cleveland & Buffalo Navigation company, were the two vessels pitted against each other. The Northwest left Buffalo Friday evening, bound for Cleveland, with the City of Buffalo, for the same port, ten minutes behind her. The City of Buffalo arrived here one and a half hours before the Northwest, lowering all previous records between the two cities. Her time was about eight hours. Prominent North Carolinians Assassinated* Winston, N. 0., June 27.—1 n Alle gheny county, Scott McCraw and Pet Ponp were shot and killed from ambush by unknown parties. Both men were prominent citizens. McCraw, a few years ago, while jailer, shot and killed a member of a party which lynched a man named Slaughter from Virginia. It is believed that McCraw was shot by friends of the man he killed. There is talk of lynching if the guilty parties are caught. The Illinois Flag Law Unconstitutional. Champaign, His., June 27.—The trus tees of the University of Illinois, who were indicted by the grand jury for violation of the Illinois flag law, were arraigned in the circuit court to answer to the charge. The former plea of guilty was withdrawn and Judge Wright decided that the law was un constitutional. The prisoners were dis charged. This ends the famous case. Sir Augustus Harris* Funeral. London, June 27.—The funeral of Sir Augustus Harris took place at Bremp ton cemetery. There was a remarkable gathering of notabilities, and the casket was covered with floral wreaths. Among the senders of these tributes of respect was the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, many mem bers of the nobility, and all the best known lights of the theatrical world.

OUR LONDON CABLE A Military Alliance arranged Between Russia and China. LI HUNG CHANG TO VISIT AMERICA Doubted no Longer by Diplo mats That He Will Come. FROM NEW YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO The Chinese Statesmen Win Inspect Our Railroads While Here—Americans to Construct a Railroad to Port Arthur. General McCook Coming Home—Lady Journalists Celebrate. [Copyrighted, 1896, bv Associated Press.] London, June 27. —In diplomatic cir cles it is doubted no longer that Li Hung Chang, during his visit to Mos cow, arranged a close military alliance between China and Russia, including the construction of a railway to connect the Russian-Siberian railway with Port Arthur. General Alexander McD. McCook, who was a member of the United States commission at Moscow upon the occa sion of the coronation fetes, has sailed for New York. He has had frequent in terviews with Prince Khilkoff, the Rus sian minister of ways and communica tions, and it is believed that these in terviews related to the construction of the railroad to Port Arthur, whiclj both Russia and China desire to see con structed under American auspices. Li Hung Chang, while in the United States, will make a careful inspection of the American railroads, he will trav erse while on his way from New York to San Francisco, and Prince Khil koff will make a similar inspection of the Russian railroads on an official jour ney which he is about to make from Si beria to Vladivostock, and thence to China and home via the Uriited States. Prince Khilkoff, when a young man, studied for several years in a repair shop on one of the American railroads. Canadian Firemen rieased. The Canadian firemen, who have been taking part in the international tourna ment here, are greatly pleased with the reception which has been accorded them. At the close of the tournament they will visit Paris, and will not start for home before taking in many of the sights on the continent, which will probably post pone their departure for the other side of the Atlantic to the middle of July at the earliest. Stafford House, which has been con sidered the most exclusive in London, was thrown open on Wednesday night by the Duchess of Sutherland, in order to celebrate the first anniversary of the foundation of the Society of Lady Journ alists. The guests included Mrs. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury; the Marquis of Lansdowne, the secretary of state for war; Lord Rosebery, Mr. Henry Asquith, Lord Donald Gower, Lord Aus tin Benning, William Black and others of equal note. The Duchess of Suther land, like her sister, the Countess of Warwick, is an occasional contributor to the press. Mrs. Martin (Victoria Woodhull) has inundated London with invitations to a Fourth of July reception at which the stars and stripes, it is proposed will be entwined, not with the union jack, but with the royal standard. The Globe, commenting upon Mrs. Martin’s proposition, says: “We understand that the Fourth is Independence day, but however inde pendent the Americans may be, there is no reason why they should disregard tradition which makes the royal stand ard the peculiar badge of royalty.” Fourth Hussars on the Rack. The Fourth Hussars, “Queen’s Own are being raked by the press and thrown up to the public generally. Some time ago, it appears, the officers of the Fourth Hussars bullied a subaltern named Hodge to such an extent that he went to Africa. This caused some comment in the press; but the matter was allowed to drop. Later it transpired that when a young man', named Bruce Price was gazetted to the Fourth Hussars he was invited to dine at the Nimrod club by five subalterns, who, after making in quiries as to his means, told him he was not wanted in the regiment, and that unless he retired gracefully he would be made to retire in disgrace. The young lieutenant declined to resign and re ported the matter to the adjutant. But, it seems, all the officers of the regiment, from Colonel Brebazon down, boycotted and bullied him until he was finally compelled to resign on the ground that he was too familiar with privates. The affair is causing the greatest ex citement in the service and especially as it is claimed that there is a deliberate conspiracy among the officers of that regiment to allow none but those who are able to keep hunters and race horses to remain in the regiment. Mother and Two Children Drowned. Knoxville, June 27.—The entire family of Jessie Kirkwood, consist ing of wife and two infants, were drowned in the Tennessee river a few miles below this place. Kirkwood is a fisherman, and lived in a boathouse on the river. A few nights ago he made a trip to Chattanooga with a boatload of fish, leaving his wife and children at home. He returned to the spot where his boat had been moored, but it was gone. Investigation revealed the fact that it had gone to the bottom, and all on board were lost. The boat must have gone down while the inmates slept, as when found the infants were clasped in their mother’s arms. PRODUCED THE DEEDS. Another Startling: DevelopMent In the Fair Will Case—Charges of Forgery. San Francisco, June 27.—Mrs. Net tie R. Craven has produced the deeds that were recorded with so much mys tery a few days ago. The presentation of these documents before Judge Slack has lad to another startling develop ment in the sensational case. The at torneys for the heirs not only claim the papers bear their own evidence of forg ery, but they assert that under the laws of California, the transfer of property, whether made by James G. Fair or not, is void. While Mrs. Craven was too ill to go on the witness stand and was excused until next Thursday morning, the law yers arrayed in opposition to her were given the opportunity to inspect the documents she had prized so highly. Although this inspection was little more than a casual one, the attorneys for the children of Fair claim they have found new reasons to reiterate their charges of forgery. They assert that in one of the deeds the signature of James G. Fair was written over an erasure which may show something under a micro scope. It is also claimed that the date, Sept. 8, 1894, was also written over an eras ure, but, independent of these condi tions, the attorneys for the children in sist that both deeds are void because they give no legal description of the property that was to be transferred. ... s. ■ ROBERTSON ARRESTED. The Negro Who Killed Miss Lawrence Captured at Columbia. Columbia, S. 0., June 27.—A negro, supposed to be Charlie Robertson, charged with the crime of murder, was arrested by Police officer Hall at the in stance of a negro deputy for the sheriff of Barnwell, who has been trailing Rob ertson for five months. Robertson is wanted for the foul crime committed at Allendale, Barnwell county, on May 1, 1895, which was heralded throughout the country. Miss Carrie Lawrence, an aged maiden lady who lived alone on her farm, near Al lendale, was found one morning cold in death with her head beat into a jelly and otherwise mutilated. The sum of $3,000, that the old lady had secreted in her house, was gone. Robertson was the man of all work about the place. He could not be found and nothing was heard of him until arrested here. A re ward of SSOO will be paid for his capture it, he proves to be the right man. He denies his identity. The negro who trailed him down says he knew him. well and is certain he has the right man. The people of Barnwell were fearfully incensed at the time of the murder and for days searched for Robertson with bloodhounds. The sheriff of Barnwell county has been notified of the capture. BICYCLES IN FRANCE. The Subject of a Special Report to the State Department by Consul Griffin. Washington, June 27.—Summarizing newspaper comments on the subject, United States Consul Griffin has con tributed a special report to the depart ment of state on “Bicycles in France,” containing some figures showing that the sudden increase in the use of the wheel is not confined to England and the United States, but that France like wise has become a victim to the craze. At present there are 160,000 bicycles in France, or one to every 50 persons able to ride, and upon these machines the owners pay a tax of $1.93 per annum. The excellent French roads is the reason for the popularity of the bicycle. The Bicyclist society has carefully ex plored every route and indicated on their charts all dangerous descents, sharp curves, and steep inclines, sign boards also have been erected wherever neces sary for special guidance of the cyclists, so that they are as fully equipped as a captain of a ship steering for a strange port. This gives great confidence to the riders and prevents many accidents. Mr. Griffin says that many bicycles are imported into France from the United States, and there is no reason why there should not have even a larger sale. WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH. Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey Lost No Time In Signing Articles. San Francisco, June 27.—James J. Corbett and Thomas Sharkey signed ar ticles for a finish fight, marquis of Queensbury rules, for the world’s cham pionship and a side bet of SIO,OOO a side, the contest to take place before the club offering the largest purse.

The articles stipulate that the fight shall occur in the United States or Mex ico within six months from date and neither contestant shall engage in any contest during the existence of the agreement. The final stakeholder has not yet been named and the date upon which the referee shall be selected is also left blank. Sharkey will leave for the east in a few days, having received flattering offers for sparring exhibitions. Cloudburst In California.

CHARGED WITH DOUBLE MURDER His Wifa and His Sister Said to Have Been the Victims THE KILLING OCCURRED LAST APRIL He Refused to Pray When the Rope Was Placed Around His Neck, Protesting His Innocence—People Became Indignant at the Delay la the Trial of the Case and Took the Lavr Into Their Own Hands. Baltimore, June 27.—Joseph Cock ing of Hilltop, Charles county, Md., who was awaiting trial on the charge of murdering his wife and her sister, Miss Daisy Miller, on the night of April 23, was taken from the old jail at Port To bacco and lynched by a crowd of about 25 men. Cocking was brought to Baltimore on April 27 in order to escape the ven geance of the mob, and was returned to the Charles county authorities May 21, as his trial had been set for the day fol lowing. His counsel asked for two weeks’ extension of time, which was re fused, and on affidavit the case was re moved to an adjoining county and would have come up for trial in September. The plan for the lynching was hatched at a ball game, which took place at Hill top, the scene of the murder, Friday afternoon. The lynching party met shortlv before midnight. All wore masks, and about 15 wore women’s dresses. They awoke an old negro, Washington Burch, who had charge of the jail. He made some show of resis tance, but finally delivered over the keys. Cocking, who had been aroused by the noise, was taken from the jail to a bridge, 200 yards away, where a rope with a noose was placed around .his neck, and he was told to confess, but he said he was innocent. He was directed to pray, but said that he did not want to pray. The rope was made fast to the rail of the bridge and the murderer was lifted to the rail and pushed oft. He fell ten feet. The party then dispersed, leaving the body dangling with the feet just reaching the water beneath the bridge. GROVER WILL ARBITRATE. Dispute Between Brazil and Italy to Be Settled by President Cleveland. Rio de Janerio, June 27.—Since the revolution of 1893-94, the republic of Brazil has had a great number of diplo matic difficulties with Italy, in many instances arising from claims made for indemnity as the result of the execution of Italian subjects during the revolu tion. Consequently the diplomatic re lations between Italy and Brazil were, at a certain period of last year, upon the point of being interrupted. In February last, however, an under standing was reached between the two powers, by which it was decided to sub mit the claims of Italy to the arbitra tion of the president of the United States. The points in the case were communi cated on June 1 by the Brazilian minis ter for foreign affairs to the congress of Brazil. This agreement was approved by the Italian government on May 15, and will be accepted by the national congress of Brazil at an early date, so that it may even now be considered as in force. The Brazilian government has been asked by the minister of the United States if it is disposed to accord the necessary facilities to delegates of the principal chambers of commerce of the United States of America, who are de sirous of going to Brazil in order to study the question of improving the commercial relations between Brazil and the United States. The minister for foreign affairs of Brazil answered the question by saying that Brazil would be most happy to see the American delegates among them, and that the Brazilian government will do all in its power to facilitate the ac complishment of their mission.

But the Adoption of the Gold Flank at St. Louis Did Not Cause It, Says Bradstreet. New York, June 27.—Bradstreet’s says: “A more hopeful feeling in trad* circles within the past 10 days, ex- ■ plained as due to the adoption of a gold, plank at St. Louis, has been given un- j due weight. Interviews with mer chants in staple lines at 25 of the more important distributing centers show that aside from the increased strength of wool in the hands of interior holders, ' reflected at Boston and Philadelphia, an improved demand for hardware at Prov idence, for clothing and shoes at Balti more, shoes and drygoods at Memphis, ' and in similar lines at St. Louis, there has been no improvement in trade. At j Chicago there is a more hopeful senti- 1 timent, but no increase in business. “A canvass of leading jobbers at im portant cities shows no expectation of a revival in general trade until after elec- , tion, and at some points no real im provement is expected until next year. “There are 218 business failures re ported throughout the United States ' this week, a striking decrease as com pared with a week ago, when the total was 265. One year ago the week’s total was 115. “The volume of general trade is no I larger than last week. In some lines it is smaller, notably at Pittsburg and Kansas City. Midsummer dullness characterizes operations at almost , all points. Relatively, the greatest ac tivity has been among eastern drygoods jobbers, who have sacrificed prices to reduce heavy stocks of cottqp goods. Restricted production of/print cloths at? Fall River is likely to be followed by similar action at Providence and at Au- - gusta. « “New England rubber manufacturers are curtailing production, and the situ ation and outlook in the iron and steel industries are less satisfactory, with a prohibitive cut in the price of Bessemer pig iron and the probability of the billet combination reducing quotations, and lower prices for coke, in .addition, there are reduced prices for leaf tobacoo, pe* | troleum and cotton, for wheat, wheat flour, oats, pork, lard, sugar and coffee.” Ball Players Assaulted the Umpire. Louisville, June 27. President Stuckey of the Louisville Ball club swore out warrants against Tebeau, Childs, O’Connor, Cnppy, Burkett, Blake, McGarr, McAleer, and McKean of the Cleveland club, charging them with disorderly conduct. Friday after noon by their actions they nearly pre cipitated a riot at the ball park by as saulting Umpire Weidman. Weidman refused to umpire the game Saturday afternoon, and Jimmy Wolf, the old leftfielder of the Louisvilles, acted. The people here are greatly worked up over the rough work of the Clevelands. Li Hung Chang: Under the X Rays. Berlin, June 27. —Li Hung Chang submitted to the Roentgen ray examina tion at the Charlottenburg polytechnic.
