HE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, MAY 6,' 1900. 3 MORE TIME IS GRANTED UAY-IMOCEFOTE TREAT V MIED SOT DC HASTILY RATIFIED. Convention Extended .Until Next Winter Harrison, Cleveland and Olney Blenttoned for Arbiters. .WASHINGTON. May 5.-Secretary Hay and Lord Fauncefote, the British ambassa dor, to-day flgned a treaty extending for seven month?, from Aug. 5 next, the period of time allowed for the exchange of ratifi cations of the Hay-Pauncefotc canal treaty. This extension was arranged for in view of the conviction that no legislation on the treaty can be secured during the present session of Congress. The extension will prolong the period allowed for the ex change of ratifications beyond the expira tion of President McKinley's term of ohice. XXX In anticipation of the passage by the House of the array reorganization bill In an unamended form the officials of the "War Department have been figuring to learn what effect the bill would have upou tho numerical strength of the army. It ap pears that the only branch of the service which will receive, any addition is the ar tillery, and the number of men to be added to that branch is only 5.437 at the maxi mum. This will make the total strength of this branch of the service 17,413. The present enlisted strength of the army Is 65, 000 regulär and 3T,000 volunteers, or a total of 100.000. The reorganization bill will In crease tho total to 105.45S men. ' xxx Ths President has resolved that In select ing the Jurists who will represent the United States on the permanent board of arbitration provided for by The Hague treaties he will consider only the names of persons of the highest character and of na tional reputation- Among the names which have benn mentioned as meeting the Pres ident's requirements are those of Benjamin Harrison, Grover Cleveland and Richard Oiney. xxx Arsistant Secretary Spauldlng has taken active measures to rescue, if possible, the fifteen men who abandoned the wrecked. British steamer Veronica on the outer Dia mond shoals. To-day he ordered the rev enue steamers Algonquin, now at Wilming ton, N.. C, and the Anondoga, which is ex pected to arrive at Norfolk to-day, to pro ceed to sea at once in search of the miss ing men. They left the Veronica in a small boat, and, as a heavy sea was going at the time, it seems almost certain that they were lost. XXX The cruiser Albany Is still at the Ells wick works, in England, though it was ev- pected that she would sail for this country In March. A report Just received from Capt. J. E. Craig, who has been assigned to the command of the vessel, reports that the cruiser Is still tied up at the docks of the contractor. Captain Craig says there rtems to be a serious hitch over the dy namos, and that, although the contractors are working faithfully, it Is Impossible for him to make a trustworthy prediction when the vessel will start for the United States. xxx Senor Eduardo Wilde, the newly-appointed Argentine minister, submitted his cre dentials to the President at the White House to-day. Accompanied by his lega tion staff, the minister first went to the State Department and met Secretary Hay, who escorted him to the White House and Introduced him to the President. The usual felicitous speeches were exchanged, the minister expressing a hope for the con tinuation of the marvelous prorress of this inreat Republic and the President welcom ing Senor Wilde as a worthy successor to Senor Carcla Merou. . .. .

There are no reports of further disturb ance In that section. X X ,x Another extension of time allowed by treaty for the delimitation of the water boundary between the United States and Mexico was arranged for to-day. Secretary Hay and Senor Asplroz signed a treaty of a single article extending t'.ie time limit one year from Dec. 20 last. TheTwork of marking the boundary is progressing rap idly, but owing to questions encountered relative to sovereignty over, lands which have been transferred from one bank of erratic Rln Grande to the other. It has not been possible to complete the work as soon as was expected when the original treaty was drawn. . - ' XXX ' ' The attention of officials of thu Bureau of Indian Affairs having been called to re ports that the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indiana In Oklahoma were starving a telegram was sent to Colonel , Randlett, tho agent at Andarko. O. T., inquiring as to the truth of the statements. He replied to-day that thero arc no Indians under his Jurisdiction that are starving or suffering for food. The officials here say that theie Indlanj have no annuity money to their credit In the treasury, but during the three years ending IKft they received $100.000. per ennuna as a gratuity from the government. This year this amount has been reduced to $75.000. but the difference is more than made up by tho amount received from lessees of grazing lands. The Indian bureau has on hand for the use of these Indians $142.000, which will, be disbursed to them as oon as practicable. x x1 X It Is announced that -until the pending Issue relative to the payment of American indemnity claims is settled to the satisfac tion of the State Department no United ßtates minister will attend at the Turkish capital, and Mr. Straus's leave of absence will remain as it is now tndeflnito as to duration.

Consul General Holloway, at St. Peters burg, report to the State Department that Russian trade last year showed a decrease of $GS,13 1,500 as compared with the preced ing year. Thi3 Is attributed to the reduc tion of export trade In conrequence of the bad harvests. 0. K IS ALL RIGHT. J ad fire Rales that the Abbreviation 0 Can De Legally Employed. CHICAGO, May 5. Andrew Jackson's "O. K." as a short way to pell "all cor rect" was upheld by the Branch Appellate Court yesterday. The judges, however, quoted from the dictionary to indicate that "Old Hickory" was not the author of the abbreviation. The question of orthography was raided on the appeal of the Davis Paint Manufacturing Company from the decree of the Circuit Court restraining the collection of a Justice of the peace Judg ment from the Metzger Linseed Oil Com pany. The decree was entered in the Cir cuit Court on the presentation of a draft of the order bearing the letters "O. K.," followed by the signature of the counsel for the Davis Paint Company. After the en tering of . the decree a motion was made to amend the decree, which was done. The ruling of the Branch Appellate Court restores the original decree of the Circuit Court. In reviewing the rase Judgo Hor ton said: 'Whatever may be thought of the parenthetical explanation as to the history or origin of the term, the definition un doubtedly gives what is the universal con ception and understanding. That is no doubt the sense in which the court under stood it and the meaning the counsel in tendedto express." PARADE AT ST. LOUIS MILITARY AND CIVIC DISPLAY IN HOXOR OF ADMIRAL DEWEY. 600,000 People on the Streets and Sev eral Accidents Frightened Horse Injures a Number of People. ST. LOUIS, May 5. With a parade of military and civil organizations of Mis souri this afternoon, and an Informal re ception by the Loyal Legion to-night, the two days' celebration In St. Louis in honor of Admiral George Dewey came to an end. Probably 500.000 people. Including 75.000 from outside points, stood patiently for hours along the line of march to see the admiral, cheering him wildly as he was driven by in the parade. At some points of the parade the crowds were so great that the police were utterly helpless, and dozens .of bruised and fainting women and crying children were rescued only by the use of clubs, in some instances the helpless ones being carried out over the heads of an almost immovable mass of people. In front of . tho grand stand at the exposition building the crowd got beyond control of the police, and for an hour before the parade reached that point packed the street from curb to curb for three blocks, a narrow passageway for the parade finally being cleared with difficulty. At this point, ' almost exactly under the spot where the admiral stood, a horse belonging to on officer of the military be came frightened, and in an Instant had thrown his rider and plunged Into the mass of men, women and children. Rearing and kicking he tore his way through the crowd alorg the sidewalk half the length of the grand stand before he was finally brought under control, leaving over a dozen persons prostrate and bleeding on the walk. Most of them were only slightly hurt, but one man and two women kicked or trampled on by the crazed animal were carried to near by drug stores for medical aid. Over the entire length of the line of march, extending for nearly six miles, the admiral was given so hearty a reception that he was kept bowing and doffing his hat continually. The parade ended. Ad miral and Mrs. Dewey were driven at once to the Planters Hotel, where they rested until evening. At 9 o'clock Admiral Dewey was escorted to the hall of the Military Order of Loyal Legion. In the Laclede building, of which the admiral has been a member for twenty years.. This affair was purely Informal, and no set programme was carried out. To-morrow morning the admiral and party leave for Memphis over the Illinois Central, where a two days celebration will be held in his honor. Memphis Ready for Devrey. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 5. At 7 o'clock to-morrow night Admiral and Mrs. Dewey will arrive in Memphis, and from that hour until Wednesday morning next the city will be given over to festivities in honor of the distinguished guests. All the railroad and steamboat lines have mido low rates for this event, and it is expected that, com mencing on Monday morning, the city will be filled with such a concourse of people as has not been seon here since the occa sion when Grover Cleveland, then Presi dent of the United States, visited Memphis and was entertained by th people of this city and the Mississippi valley. CUBAN POLITICS. National Party to Nominate a Candi date for Mayor of Havana. HAVANA, May 5. The convention of the National party will be held next week to nominate a candidate for mayor of Ha vana. Those named as possible candidates are Senors Gener, Zayas, Mora and lies sonler. - From present Indications the chances of nomination seem to favor Senor Estrada Mora. Each ward will nominate one member to the convention. If Senor Mora is nominated, it Is expected al most certain that Senor Gcner and Senor Zayas will run on independent tickets, and If Senor Mora is not nominated it is an nounced he will run on an independent ticket. The Republlcaln party. If they put a man in nomination, will most likely select Juan Gualberto Gomez. The Democratic Union party will concentrate on either Senor Col lazo or Carlos Garcia. They feel certain that If more than three candidates are in the contest for the mayoralty they can surely win, although they originally claimed that they did not wish to win. At tho first election the National party elected all three members in each of twenty-seven registration board in Havana and have representatives in nine others. The Democratic Union party elected three members on two boards and the Repub licans one. The National party claims that it is now certain to elect Its representa tives to every office in Havana. The Dem ocratic Union party as yet makes no claim regarding the result of the election, but it points out that the Spaniards, who were expected to vote at the recent elections, did not do so on account of their fear of be coming unpopular, and declare that the Spaniards will all vote at the principal elec ;lons that are yet to take place. The members of the registration boards, who will also serve on the voting boards, will take the oath immediately before a Judge or the mayor to serve honestly when they begin their duties of registra tion. The date et registration will begin on May 6 and include the following ten days. Cirljrar Want a Ichren'a Opinion. ST. PAUL, May 5.-Attorney General Griggs, has telegraphed Assistant District Attorney M. D. Purdy asking for a copy of Judge Lochren's opinion in the Rafael Orltz habeas corpus case. The opinion was the rtrst authoritative Judicial utterance re garding tho status of Porto Rican terri tory ever given, and Is exciting a gcvl deal of interest. Judge Lochren has promised to put his decision in the shape of a written opinion, but stated that it will be some time before he will be able to do so. LONDON IS GAY AGAIN SOCIAL SEASON PROMISES TO HE A SVCCESS, DESPITE WAR SORROWS. Dinners, Drawing-Rooms and Races The Prince of Wales's Banquet Speech Last Week. (Corjrlsht, 1300, by the Associated Press.) LONDON. May 5. This has been a week of dinners and speeches, the latter quite inferior to the former. So long had Ireland been monopolizing gayety that London had almost forgotten how to celebrate, and was threatened with a period of depression un der the cloud of war and mourning. But, now that the royalties and their suites have trooped back across the Irish channel. many with just a tlngo of brogue, semi political and private dinners have made the nights of the metropolis gay, while the racing at Newmarket scarcely ever before drew a more fashionable attendance. The victory of the Irlnce of' Wales, whose horse. Diamond Jubilee, won the 2,000 gui nea stakes on Wednesday, added to the enthusiasm, and the great racecourse be came the promenade of aristocratic people who bet, lunched and cheered Just as heartily as though there was no death struggle being waged on the plains of South Africa. Among those at Newmarket were the Prince of Wales, the King of Sweden, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Lord and Lady Howe, Lord and Lady Rothschild and all th leading families of the nobility. In addition to a sprinkling of Americans, which Included Richard Croker and Reginald Ward, the latter being the guest of Lord and Lady Howe. xxx Though late In beginning, the season promises to be brilliant unless unexpected war reverses put a damper on functions. The first drawing-room will be held May 11, at which the Queen will be present, and will be brilliantly attended. The second drawing-room, set down for May 14, will coincide with the first night, and will doubtless be a great society affair. The Prince of Wales and a long list of royalties and other prominent personages have re engaged their usual boxes, which Insures a good operatic season. xxx The Queen's birthday, May 24, In addition to being marked by unusual public rejoic ing, will be made the occasion for a great national bazaar for the army societies, which will be patronized by all the mem bers of the royal family. Of the recent dinners none was more striking than the banquet given at the Ho tel Cecil on Monday evening last by the British Empire League In honor of the colonial troops In South Africa and of the Australian federation delegates, when the Prince of Wales made his first public ap pearance after the attempt to assassinate him. As he rose to reply to a toast he re ceived a tremendous ovation. He was un usually pale, and the nervous tone in which he said. "We are all in the hands of God," betrayed the intense emotion ha was un dergoing. But as the gorgeous banquet proceeded Great Britain's future King re gained that geniality for which he is dls collectlon of the late Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, of Philadelphia, was sold at auc tion. A pair of Sevres vases, which once belonged to Madame De Pompadour, brought 1.102. while a rosewater ewer realized not less than 2,362. XXX The opening of the cricket season, this week, was favored by fine weather, arid there was no apparent diminution of pub lic Interest. Many of the crack counties are severely handicapped by the absence of their best men In South Africa. Major Poore, who headed last year's batting averages and electrified the cricketing world by paining the mastery over estab lished leaders,' is now provost morshal at Bloemfontein. Among the others absent are F. S. Jackson, who captained the last team sent to the United States: Mitchell, who captained the Oxford-Cambridge team sent to the United States in 15S5, and Milll gan, who was a member of the same eleven. They are already among the killed, tlngulshed, and mirthful laughter prevailed at the royal table. Ills royal Highness also on this occasion inaugurated a custom which may become popular at large public dinners where the quests are so numerous that they can scarcely recognize each other. With his coffee and cigars the prince's special attendant brought him a huge pair of field glasses, with which he carefully scrutinized the long tables and the galaxy of bejeweled women who filled the balconies in order to hear the speeches- XXX Prince Katohito, of Japan. Is having a busy time in London, combining an in spection of rapid-fire guns and various military researches, with visits to the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Lord Salis bury. Prince Katohito is a cousin of the Emperor of Japan, who adopted him. He is now a cavalry colonel in the Japanese army, having received his education in France. The prince will leave London May 8 and will visit the principal European courts, apparently with the semi-official purpose of strengthening the cordiality be tween the Japanese and the European sov ereigns. xxx Many preparations are on foot for the yachting season, which, though it may not be productive of very good racing, will, none the less, be patronized by those who make yachting an amusement rather than a sport. The steam yacht White Ladye, formerly owned by Mrs. Langtry, is being fitted out sumptuously for the reception of Mr. Lawson Johnston and his bride, nee Dunlap, of New York, who will take an ex tended cruise. The famous Herreshoff- built cutter Isolde, which was recently sold at auction. In London, brought the low figure of 2C0. xxx One of the most noticeable sales of works of art in London began May 3, when the XXX The decision of the archbishops of Can terbury and York, made public May 1, on the subject of the reservation of tho sac rament, in which they said they were obliged to decide that the Church of Eng land did not allow reservation In any form and that those believing It ought to be permitted, while Justified In endeavoring to get the law altered, were not justified In practicing reservation until the law was changed, has created widespread specula tion among the laity and clergy regarding the outcome. The extreme ritualists have always demurred against civil authority, but their contentions are now under the ban of the highest episcopal court, which they swore to obey when ordained. Yet it does not appear that they are more willing to give up their practices than before. As the Dally Graphic, which is a churchman's paper, says, "It needs no gift of prophecy to foretell that the Church of England cannot continue as an organied body If any large section of the clergy follow the ad vice of the extreme ritualists. If the high church clergy claim to be a law unto themselves they must either leave the church or shatter it." Many churchmen and conservative papers not engaged in the controversy are seriously considering the question of disestablishment, a remedy hitherto so repugnant to them that- they would scarcely discuss it. Revenue Stamps "Sot Reqnlred. CINCINNATI, May 5. Judge Thompson, of the United States District Court, to day decided that the law does not require any revenue stamp to be affixed to bonds of notaries public. The case was brought before the court by the suit of a notary agalpst United States Revenue Collector Bettmann. The practice has been uni versal to require a G0-cent revenue stamp.

He Wna on Conrt Street irlth Ills Wife and Sister at the Time An Arrest .Made. t John Goodall, colored, twetny-üve years old. was shot in the left breast' about 12:30 o'clock this morning. Goodall lives with hi wife at 523 Scioto street. The shooting took place on Court street, near the Cones over all factory, which recently, burned. From the story told by Goodall at the City Hospital he was shot by a white man who claimed that Goodall had Insulted him. After the shooting Goodall walked to the hospital and exhibited his wound. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the physicians were of opinion that the bullet had not pene trated the lung and that Goodall was not seriously Injured. The colored man's wife, to whom he was married about five months ago, came to the hospital shortly after he arrived there. Goodall Is a professional acrobat and comedian, but has not been engaged In this business for some time. ' Mrs. Emma Owens; a sister of Goodall, was with her broth?r when he was shot. She says that she plays in a resort on West Court 6treet and that Goodall and his wife came after her. She says that they were going home, and when back of the ruins of the Cones overall factory they met two white men. The latter addressed some In sulting remark, she says, that her brother understood, but thy did not. She says they passed by without saying anything, but the men again repeated the insult. Goodall then turned around and asked them what they meant when Mrs. Owens, says one man pulled out a revolver and shot him. They then ran west an Court street. She was unable to give any description of the men other than that they were white. The two patrolmen who have that district heard the shot and ran to the seenc. Mrs. Goodall told the hospital physicians that her sister-in-law was a piano player in a Court-street resort, and that she went there to hear the woman play. At a very late hour she and her husband left the house after having drank some beer. In tbe street they met three white men, the woman said, and one of the men addressed WttMo ft MULLE DE SOIE A very fine and sheer cloth, pure silk warp, with satin-corded stripes, high art printings, in light and dark grounds, as handsome as the :q. finest silk BILK MULLr-Complete line of col- AQr ors, 30 Inches wide xv- FOULARD MERCERETTA A highly finished Mercerized Cloth, with JQr printings as handsome as the sllk..C7V FEAU DE SOIE Very much like the Fou lard Merceretta, excepting a little more stocky, complete line of choice printings; also In all the plain CKClr- colors MERCERIZED SATEENS A beautiful line of printing on a very fine silk- OSZ- en cloth , ÄOC INDIA FOULARDS S3 and 36 inches wide, very sheer and silky, a magnificent line of patterns in light and dark 174-r grounds jw CREPE CLOTHS Silk-striped.

Cox, of 318i North Alabama street, and James White were arrested by the po lice, charged with shooting with intent to kill. Cox was intoxicated. He said Whlte had nothing to do with the trouble. His story was to the effect that when they met Goodall and the women Cox paid, "Hello, gents," and Goodall replied with a string of oaths and followed it up by assaulting Cox with a brick, knocking him down. It was while he was down, Cox says, that he drew his revolver and fired. White cor roborated Cox's story and said the latter acted in self-defense. They were locked up. THE IEVINGT0N VICTIMS. No New Cases at Irvlngton, but One In the City. Only one new case of smallpox was found yesterday. The Ave Irvlngton victims have been quaranttlned by the county health board. The disease is mild In form, but it Is feared It may spread through Irvington. President Butler, of Butler College, thinks there is no occasion for closing the schools as many exposures have already been made. Drs. RIdpath and Hurty visited Irvington yesterday to look over the situa tion and see that victims were properly quarantined. The disease Is thought to have been brought into the school by a son of Professor Ames, who had recently re turned from Iowa. The Twenty-Sixth Case. The twenty-sixth case of smallpox for this year was reported to the Board of Health yesterday, -the patient being Mrs. Minnie Guedel, living at No.1 102S High street. The house has been placed under quarantine. Sirs. Goldsler's Heading;. Mrs. Selma Goldzler, who is to appear, to-morrow night, at the German House, comes heralded by the Eastern papers as possessing a richness of voice, added to an intellectual grace which makes her one of the most charming artists of her line In the country. Her reading of such plays as Suderman's "Magda." which won for her fame In New York, can only be appreciated by those who hear her.
