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

Now, therefore. I, Grover Cleveland, pres

that from and after the dale of this,my pro

THE AGREEMENT.
The following is the agreement referred
to in the president’s proclamation :
Memorandum of agreement between the
government of the United States of Amer-
llrtrnnlt',1 ns a Spanish Victor,.
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.

A jotter was prepared addressed to the
pope, asking his holiness to bless and ap
prove the new institution, and submitting
the details of studies, discipline, organiza
tion, etc.; also one to the cardinal prefect
of the propaganda, which was of a similar
tenor. They were entrusted to Bishops
Kean, of Richmond, and Ireland, of St:
Paul, who will carry them to Rome,sailing
from New York next Saturday.
Messengers of the council will spond

corps of instructors.
Archbishop Williams, of Boston, and
Bishop Kean, of Richmond, were author
ized to make contracts for building to be
commenced pext spring, plans for which
have already been prepared. It was stated
at conference that $590,000 had been sub
scribed in addition to Mrs. Caldwell’s

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

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

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

I were all held under bail. In the parade
1 were banners bearing the inscription, “We

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.

Galesuuiio, III., October 27.—Harry
Nelson, a two-year-old child, was missed
from the alms house at Knoxville. After
a long search his body was found in a
creek a quarter of a mile from the ulms
house. The ehi!a\; skull had been shat
tered. 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. At the inquest circumstances
pointed strongly to one of the women
inmates known as “Crazy Hannah” as the
one committing t he deed. 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. It is thought that the idea of
separation drove her to the deed. She de
nies tho deed and claims that during her
absence she was searching for the child.
