BURNED BY A GIRL, in Astonishing Confession Regarding* the Indianapo lis Reformatory Fire. [he Building* Deliberately Fired by a Pretty Girl of Seventeen. Editor Godkin Arrested on the Charge of Criminal Libel. itory That Guiteati Was Drunk When He Was Executed. Indianapolis, Ind., March 20.— The Jtory of the origin of the fire that rie itroyedthe female reformatory on the night of March 1 came to light this morning, and reveals a remarka be phase of depravity that has existed among the inmates for twenty years. Little Anna Tapp. a child of six years, who had been under the care of the institution, died this morning as a result of tne ex posure on the night of the fire. Mrs. Elmira Johnson, the assistant superin tendent, now in charge of the detach ment of prisoners housed at the work house, made this death the occasion of a talk to the assembled girls. She said she had reason to know that one of the girls had set fire to the institution, and this girl had not only that crime, but also tho death of little Anna, too, upon her head. Most of the inmates burst into tears, for the child had won the hearts of even the criminal women in the orison. A little later, Minnie Johnson, one of the three girls who had been suspected of start ing the tire, sent tor Mrs. Johnson. Tne latter went to her cell, and she there confessed that she had set fire to the building. Minnie Johnson is a rather pretty girl of seventeen, who was sent up from Richmond two years ago on conviction of theft. She liad been working in the laundry on the day of the fire and had lingered behind the rest. When they were gone she ignited an ironing cloth at a gas jet and threw it upon a shelf under a stairway. From this started the fire that wrecked the building. Jn her confession the Johnson girl says that she had not intended to tire the building, but simply to create a scare to get even because Patsy Williams, a colored girl, had been separated from • her. An intimacy of Jong standing had existed between these two girls, li had been detected through endearing and disgusting notes between them that had been interrupted, and the officials of the prison had made every effort to break it up with out success until they finally removed the negro girl from the prison. This confession gave rise, of course, to fur ther inquiry by reporters, and elicited the information that there are no less than twenty such case.-) of unnatural love among the female prisoners, and, what is most remarkable, each case is a mixture of the laces. It is always a negro and a white girl, never two of the same race. The officials have made every effort to break it up, but the inmates resort to xi 1 1 sorts of schemes to meet each other and be together, The. board of mana gers is thinking of erecting separate buildings for white and colored inmates. GODKIN GETS PULLED. A New York Kditor in a Police Court. New York, March 20.— Edwin L. todkin, editor of the Evening Tost, was arrested today on a oliarse of criminal libel preferred by Dennis W. O'Hal loran, secretary of the February grand Jury. Mr. Godkin was taken to police court, where he was released In 81,000 bail. The grand jury, of which Mr. O'Halloran was secretary, handed in a presentment censuring Rev. Dr. Park burst for his attacks from the pulpit upon the official acts of District Attor ney JS'icol. In commenting on this the Evening Post referred to Mr. O'Jlallo ran as an "ex-keeper of a low dive." The complainant denies that he ever kept a dive. GUITEAU WAS DRUNK. lie Was Given a Big Dose of Brandy. Washington, March 2o.— Dr. Tilden, formerly chemist at the National Medi cal museum, speaking of Guiteau, President (JarfiekFs assassin, said that the assassin went to the scaffold in a semi-drunken condition. "This," add ed the doctor, "was a necessity. You are aware that when the squad of soldiers entered the jail rotunda, a short while before Hie execution, and came to order arms with a loud bang, iiuitcau fell over in a dead faint. His nervous system was shattered and the physicians felt they would be unable to get him to the scaffold. A consultation was held and it was decided to give him a dose of brandy. This was dove, and he got a big dose, too. Not being used to drinking, the dose went to his head, and his *Oh Lordy' song on the scaffold was, in my estimation, a drunken tffusion." SLASHED HIS THROAT, A Brooklyn Man Killed by an Ex- Convict. Brooklyn, March 20.— Michael Siat tery, a truck driver, thirty-one years old, was murdered at an early hour this morning in the hallway of his home by William Lawn, an ex-convict, who leased a furnished room from flat tery. Siattery, Lawn, the wife of Siat tery and the mother of Lawn gathered in Slattery's apartments last night, where they partook freely of beer and other stimulants. The drinking lasted ]ale into the night, and as a sequence a quarrel occurred. Siattery attempted to eject Lawn from the room, when' the latter drew a razor and cut his host's throat from ear to ear. Siattery died almost instantly. Lawn made his es cape at the time, but the police, when notified of the crime, soon located the murderer, and he is now in jail. Killed in Self-Defense. Dknveb, March 20.— Tonight Thomas Deforuey shot Mike Fox, who died a few hours later. The trouble arose over Fox's attention to Deforney's wile, although the latter apparently doesn't care anything for Fox. This evening Fox entered the Deforney resi dence and attempted to embrace Mrs. Deforuey. lie was half drunk, and > \j^^^^g us, * Deforney merely ejected him. Lster on Fox returned and attacked Deforney with a knife, and in self-defense Defor ney shot him through the head. Defor ney is a bookkeeper for Terry & Co., wood dealers, and Fox worked in the yards of the farm. KILLEb iHisl BUKGIiAR. Instant Death of One of the Liight- Fingered Gentry. Crov.i.kv, La., March 20.— A des perate burglar was killed here last night in th« office of W. W. Dusen & Brother. Some few days ago the Dusens received in formation that an attempt would be made lo rob their sale. Three persons had been stationed in the buildiiiK to await the n>bb''i\s coming. He en tered the back door of the office with a false key. There was no light in the building, but by the reflection of a street lamp the burglar could be dis tinctiy seen, lie carried a pair of pistols, one of them presented in tin: direction he took on enteriner, and was within three feet of the ex-sheriff, C. C. Dusen, who fired, killing the burg lar almost instantly. The dead burglar was known here as Horace Steele, but his resemblance to Bunch, the notorious train robber, caused the authorities here to telegraph to Chief of Police Caster, of New Orleans, for Bunch's photograph. SOUrHWKSTERN BLIZZARD. One Strikes Portions of Missouri and Kansas. Kansas City, Mo., March 20.— A snow storm exceeding in severity any of last winter or this spring has been raging in Kansas today. Tiie weather has been very cold for the last lew days until last night, when it moderated considerably. This morning, with the wind in the northeast, it commenced snowing and has continued all day, and at 10 o'clock the snow is still falling heavily. The storm is not in the nature of a blizzard, the wind's velocity being low and the thermometer com paratively high. However, the snow is eisht inches on the level throughout a great part of the state and some points are reported drifting. All the railways report more or less interfer ence with their traffic, but not enough to stall trains. Reports of the storm In Kansas have been received from as far south as Wichita and as far west as Liberal. The storm here exceeds in severity any at this season of the year within the ineti.ory of most residents of the city. Street "railway traflice has been impeded, but not suspended.

Mr. Springer Is Still a Very Sick Man. Washington, March 20.— The condi tion of Chairman Springer, of the ways and means committtee, continues to im prove, but he is still confined to his bed. After the critical stage of his illness had passed and about the middle of the past week there was a recurrence of the nervous cougli which the physi cians had found to be dangerous dur ing his greatest prostration. For some time renewed alarm was felt, as the harassing cough made it impossible for him to sleep; but yesterday morning the cough again abated, and last night Mr. Springer was enabled to secure six hours' restful sleep. He is much bet ter this evening, and Is able to eat heartily of solid food. If the improve ment, which is very slow, continues henceforth he hopes to be able to leave here in a week or ten days lor Fortress Monroe for two weeks of recuperation. The tariff discussion will probably close the latter part of April, and Mr. Springer still expects to make the clos ing speech. HILL I\ WASHINGTON. The Senator and His Party Safely Home.

Senator Hill has no plans for the immediate future. He ex pects to remain in Washington for some time, attending to his duties in the sen ate. He says that he has not accepted auy invitation to address the Hill club at St. Louis, and probably will not be able to accept it.

He Wants to Surrender the Chancellorship of the Ger man Empire, But the Emperor Refuses Per emptorily to Accept the Resignation. The Chancellor May Ultimate ly Swallow Kis Great Chagrin. Conservative and Ultramon tane Newspapers General ly Stand by Caprivi. BF.r.Lix, March 20.— Sines the fall of Bismarck two years ago, political ten sion here has not been so intense as it has been today. Early this morning Chancellor yon Caprivi was summoned by courier to the emperor at Huber tustock and before noon he had left the city. The emperor has refused to ac cept his resignation, and the chancellor has made a second request to be allowed to retire. Albert yon Levetzow, first president of the reichstag, says that Caprivi believes he had not been treated fairly by the emperor, and should therefore insist upon being allowed to retire. At the emperor's urgent request he had committed himself without re serve to the school bill as it stands, and had placed behind it the weight of his whole authority. The emperor, with out any previous notice, had changed his attitude to the bill, thus leav ing him (Caprivi) in the lurch. This, the chancellor said, was a direct affront to him as the chief adviser of the crown, and showed conclusively that his use fulness in office was at an end. Despite the definiteness of this declaration, it is believed in parliamentary circles that the emperor and Caprivi will ulti mately bo reconciled, and that Caprivi will Swallow Mis ('ltasrin at the emperor's request, and reconsider his resignation. The development of the present crisis was hastened, with out doubt, as the chancellor suggested to Herr yon Levetzow, by the abrupt ness with which the emperor an nounced, in the crown council, his change of front. After briefly stating his opinion that the school must not be forced through in its present form, he began citing the arguments ot the grand duke of Baden and the Protestant upper con sistory in support of his position, adding sternly: The minister of public wor ship omitted to inform me of the true situation of affairs among the people. When I learned what it was 1 at once concluded that this state of affaris must stop." The reproof was not less bitter to Caprivi for its being adminis tered uuder the guise of Zeidlitz's name, and his mortification was still evident in his face when he left the council chamber. Nevertheless, he rallied to the support of Count Zeidlitz. and advised the emperor strongly against hasty action and to await the result of the deliberations of the school committee in the Prussian house. To repeated remonstrances of both minis ters the emperor responded curtly: "I have made up my mind; this state of affairs must be brought to an end now." The emperor's present solicitations that Caprivi should reconsider his resigna tion is due to two difficulties which would result from a vacancy in the eh neellorshio just now. In the first place, the fall of a chancellor, so soon after Bismark's retirement, would have A Discouraging Effect upon the Conservatives, and would in flate the Liberals with a dangerously high opinion of their power. In the second place it would be difficult to find another chancellor as able ana submiss ive as Caprivi has been. There are many possible successors, but to- each there is some radical objection. Ben nisrsen, who was suggested, ap pears already to be out of the race. Miguel. in speaking to a Liberal deputy last evening, said that Bennigsen would not be con sidered, as the emperor would not tol erate the tincturingof the ministry with Liberalism. Among the likelier candi dates whose names are mentioned are Lucanus, Rauchaup, Eulenberg and Levetzow. All are strong Conserva tives. Dr. Lucanus has long been a favorite with the emperor. He has con ducted the emperor's correspondence, has prepared his speeches for the Oilicial Gazette, and has been an unofficial though confidential adviser. Ho has no military prestige, howexer, and as a somewhat obscure civilian, would hardly have the person ality for influencing the stiff-necked Conseivatives in the reichstag. Le vetzow has a record for impar tiality and sound judgment as first president of the reich stag, but has only mediocre ability. Heir yon Kauchhaup and Count Botho Eulen burg would be strong partisans, and probably would be too aggressive in the cabinet and the reichstag to last long. Should Caprivi insist upon his resigna tion, the empire would be placed in a disadvantageous position in foreign pol itics, for His Good Judgment and pacific intentions are recognized by all sovereigns, including even the czar, and he is trusted accordingly. The em peror would do better to have Waldersee succeed Caprivi. should he go, but the czar is opposed to AValdersee. It is not certain when the emperor will return from Hubertustock. Prince Uenry re turned this evening, and the empress has decided to remain in the country, probably because the emperor is expected back shortly. The attitude today of the Conservatives and ultra montane dailies toward the ministers who nave resigned is surprising. They are almost unanimous in urging Caprivi to insist upon his resignation. The Germania, organ of the ultramontaues, has whipped around, and says that if Caprivi should continue in the chan cellorship his authority would be gone, for by so continuing he would de stroy * all the confidence of ultra montanes in him. Parson Stookers Reichs Bole says: The two ministers who have been disavowed and affronted by the emperor can never again put themselves to parliament. The Kreuz Zeitung expresses the hope that Caprivi will be both prudent and firm. "Con stancy is prudence in this case," it adds, and then asks: "Will Chancellor yon Caprivi admit the truth of the boast of the Lib erals that they have tamed him?" The National Zeitung, in a leader, said to have been inspired by Hen Miguel, says: "The emperor's action on the school bill does not belong among those personal manifestations which have created sensations during the last few months. The emperor abused the right of the crown to interfere in a matter of SAINT PAUL MINN., MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1592. legislation. He would have thought and acted in the same way had the ministry foreseen two months ago what was to happen, and told him the inevitable results of the bill. The Liberal electors effected, however, what the ministry failed to effect. The fifiht against the school bill has initialed a new epoch of political actions in the ranks of the Liberals." Hambukg, March 20.— Prince "Bis marck today in the course of a dinner at the burgomasters, where he was a guest, remaiked: "You sen, the em peror is still his own chancellor." DEEMING IS FIDGETY. The Evidence Against Him Very Strong-. Per/tit, March 20. — Deeming was again before tne magistrate today. The court house was packed. The prisoner, who still persists in calling himself Swanston, entered the dock with n jaunty air. but became nervous and lidgety during the reading of the charges. After the giving of the formal evidence in regard to his arrest, he was remanded. Deeming's luggage has been fully examined. Among the articles found were a card certifying to the mem bership of Emily Mather in the llalnhill Band of Hope, a time-table of trains between Rainhill and Liverpool, an autograph album belonging to Emily Mather, a book of addresses es persons in England, a pocketbook bearing the monogram" B. F. D. "a Masonic apron similarly lettered, a silver card case and a prayer book containing the name ''Emily". Among the addresses noted are" McDonald, New York, Birken head", "Marshell, New York", and others of persons in Hull, Liverpool and Ilartlepool, proving the identity of Williams, Deeming, Lavvson, etc. Later— lt is rumored that Deeming, who declares that his name is Swanson, has confessed to the police that he is the same man who lived at Windsor, a suburb of Melbourne, under the name of Williams. Evidence is daily accumu lating showing that the past life of Deeming was one of constant fraud and robbery, carried on under a pretense of wealth and bonhomie. THE PARIS FAILURE. It Turns Out to Be a Rather Small Affair. Paris. March 20.— The engagements of the Guenzburg branch bank here, it is now ascertained, were not large. In regard to the Banque Generate Chemin de Fer et Industrie, which suspended Saturday, it appears that the institu tion's "boursier" interest was ml. Its nominal capital was only 0,250,000 francs and its clientele was entirely composed of the smallest investors. The directors were men of no financial mark. M. Ducouran, the president of the bank, who committed suicide on Thursday, took his life by blowing out his brains with a revolver. He was sixty-seven years old. He had been an agent of the Trans atlanticiue company in Cuba. It appears that he was an Jionest man, who had been victimized by his col leagues, Occuat, one of the directors of the bank, and the chief wire-puller, named Moilien, alias Calais. The lattef bears a bad record, which Includes con victions for swindling. He fled a fort night since with two of the public directors, his confederates. Argentine Minister Recalled. London, March 20.— A dispatch to the Times from Buenos Ayres says: A somewhat effusive exchange of civilities between the American fleet in the river Platte and the Argentine authorities has given origin to the report of the ex istence of an alliance between Argen tina and the United States. The Ar gentiue minister at Washington has been recalled. It is explained that the action in the matter was taken without the knowledge of his government. Will Treat Balfour Better. London, March 20.— T. P. O'Connor's Sunday Sun says editorially that the events in the house of commons during the past week seem to indicate that the Tories are a little penitent for having treated their leader, Mr. Balfour, so in differently, and are likely to give him a more conservative support in the future. Thisbeingso.it is still possi ble for the Irish small holdings bill to be carried. British Expedition Repulsed. London, March 21.— Advices from Freetown, Sierra Leona, state that the British expedition to Limbo, in Sama dee, has met with a severe repulse. It is reported that Capt. Robinson, of Gov. Hay's stall, and a private were killed, and that all the officers of the expedi tion and thirteen of the men were wounded. Parisian Infernal Machines. Paris, March 20.— Two infernal ma chines were found in this city today. One machine, with a burning fuse at tached, was found in a letter box in ihe Rue Taibout, and another in the Rue Temple. Premier Loubet has addressed a circular to prefects throughout the country ordering the strictest execution of the laws regulating the manufacture, transportation and storage of dynamite. Killed by Banditti. Rome, March 20.— Advices from Mas sowali, the Italian colony on the African coast of the Red sea, are that Capt.

Franco-Spanish Treaty. j Paris, March. 20.— The nmegotiations between Fiance and Spain for a com mercial treaty are about to be rauewed. SILVER GOMES NEXT. Three Days of This Week Set Apart for the Bland Bill. Free Coinage Men Will Try to Force a Vote on It Early. Behring Sea Arbitration and Russian Extradition Are Senate Topics. Secretary Foster Arrives Home From London, Much Improved in Health. Washington, March 20.— The pro ceedings in the houae during the com ing week will be more than usuailv in teresting, as it has made the Bland silver bill a special order for three days, beginning Tuesday. Ordinarily tomor row would be devoted to the passage of measures under suspension ot the rules, hut it is probable that the army appio priution bill will be called up, and that its consideration will consume the whole day. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are set apart for the consideration of the Bland silver bill. A great many members desire to speak on the silver question, and an effort has been made to reach an agree ment between the friends and the opponents of free coinage to provide that the debate and consideration of the bill by paragraph shall run the whole of the week. No understanding has yet been reached, however, as the silver men want the agreement to include a stipulation that a vote shall be taken at the end of the week, without indulgence in filibustering, tactics; but the anti-free coinage Democrats are not, as a body, willing to bind themselves in this par ticular. Some of the opponents of the bill Dlacourase Filibustering, but others bel ieve they should use every proper means within their reach to de feat it. Unless the silver question runs through the week, Friday and the iirst two hours of Saturday will be given up either to bills relating to private claims or to the naval approprintion bill. Un der a special order of the house Satur day afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock, has been set apart for the delivery of eulogies on tho late Representative Francis G. Spinola, of New York. Near ly all of the senate's time during the open sessions this week is already practically allotted. The Indian appropriation bill is to be taken up tomorrow. The West Virginia direct tax bill is the spe ei»l order for Tuesday, and the senate has resolved that immediately alter this bill is dispossed of, it will consider two bills of much public interest, name ly,^ Mississippi river and Columbia river improvement bills, involving an aggregate appropriation of about $18, --000,000 to be expended on the improve ment of these great waterways. The bill for the relief of settlers on the pub lic lands is also within easy reach. On Thursday legislative business will be suspended for several hours while the senate listens to eulogies upon the late Senator Hearst, of California. The most interesting proceedings of the senate, however, are expected to occur In executive session, as was the case last week. The Behrlng sea arbi tration treaty is pending, and action upon it will doubtless be taken as soon as possible after the reception of Lord Salisbury's response to Wharton's last note, irfut blocking the way of the Behring sea treaty is another matter over which the senate has been much agitated during the last few days, namely, the Rtißßiaii Extradition Treaty. This precedes the Behrine sea treaty on the calendar of executive business, and promises to give rise to much dis cussion in addition to what has already taken place. It appears tiiat strong op position has developed to that clause of the treaty which relates to the extradition of persons charged with capital offenses. It is understood to be substantially sim ilar to other treaties in that respect, but in view of the peculiar political condi tions existing in Russia an effort has been made to secure an amendment of the clause, the effect of which would be to except from extradition persons com mitting- even murder for "political rea sons, which is construed to exempt from extradition nihilists attempting regi cide. It has been stated that if so amended the treaty will be obnoxious to the Russian government, and incident ally strong arguments were made to show that it should be ratified as it stands, if not from a spirit of comity, at least from international considerations. It was urged that it would be foolhardy for the United States to impair the strength of the ties of friendship and interest which now bind together the Ujiited States and Russia, and Urns lose the moral and perhaps. the physical sup port of one of the fir&t military powers 111 the world at a time when diplomatic complications exist in the relations of the "United States and Great Britain, which might in certain contingencies result iv actual war. These views have already been expounded at length to the senate, but there will doubtless be a furtner discussion of the subject dur ing the week. To Be IV o Extension. It is understood .tonight that the ar rangement between the silver and anti silver wings of the" Democratic party, by which in return for a promise of the anti-silver men not to filibuster against the bland bill, the time was ex tended from three to five days, is off. As stated in these dis patches, Mr. Harter, of Ohio, was will ing to make the promise, but Messrs. Tracey and Williams, who are in charge ot the Democratic opposition to the bill, refused to thus be bound. The time is to be divided among the parties, so that the anti-silver Democrats and Republicans will have half between them. .Representative Abner ' Taylor, of Illinois, has charge of the time for the Republicans, Mr.Tracey for the anti-silver Democrats and Mr. Bland for the silver men. Speaking of the probabilities of the situation, Mr. Tracey today said: "We don't know how the speaker is going to rule. Speaker Crisp's rulings have been so arbitrary and so unprece dented that we cannot predict what he will do. He decides a point and refuses to give his reasons. When he declines ■to consider a motion of conaid , eratiou or to lay oil the table, he is liable to refuse anything. " He may nut l#t us otter amendments to the bill, if lie allows the previous question, we are cut olf, but if the bill is read by sections, we have a right to offer' amendments. At any rate, we have the right to otter two amendments, a sub, and an amendment to the sub. Our plau is to offer as a sub my bill calling for an international monetary congress, and I think the Repub licans will vote solidly with us for that. The reason the silver men are so anxious for an extension of time is, they are afraid they cannot get their men together at the end of three days. If we can prevent a vote being taken in three day 3, then the silver men have lost their right of way, and the bill goes back to its old place, or another rule will have to be brought in by the rules committee compelling a vote. EFFECTS OF TARIFFS. The Senate's Subcommittee's In- quiry Into Them. Washington, March 20.— The sub committee of the senate finance coni mittee,which has been for some months prosecuting an inquiry in the effects of the tariffs, past and present.upon wages and cost of living, are nearing the end of their labors. The tangible result of the investigation will be an exhaustive compilation of figures comprising in all nearly 5,000,000 quotations, covering all parts of the country, and extending over a period coincident with the exist ence of the tariff. The figures used in the report were obtained by personal inquiry by agents of the bureau of la bor, operating in seventy different cities scattered all over the country.aud they represent in every instance actual cash transactions, not the statement ot commercial or other reports. The sub committee have| practically concluded their inquiry, but before their report on this branch of the subject is concluded, they may visit several places for per sonal examination, but this is not cer tain. In addition to the general inves tigation of the effect of operations of the protective tariffs, the sub-committee hare pursued a special investi gation of the workings ot the McKinley law. For this purpose they selected 22l different articles which it was unanimously agreed, fairly cov ered the range of ordinary expenses of a family whose income ranged from $.jOO to $1,000 a year. Besides these the cost of buildiug material was taken into consideration as having influence on the cost of rent to those who do not own their homes. Of the prices of (hese various articles the subcommittee have secured quotations covering the period of eighteen months incident to the pas sage of the McKinley bill, and fur a year subsequent thereto, from month to month at the seventy different points of inquiry covered by the bureau of labor. What the re sults of the inquiry and tabulation of figures will 6how will not be stated un til the sub-committee has prepared its report, which it cannot do until the tablet* have been printed and the matter is in a torin for consideration. Numer ous requests have been made lor the information obtained by the sub-com mittee by representatives in congress for use in their tariff speeches, but the members of the sub-committee do not desire to have the matter go out in piecemeal that way, and it will not be made public until presented in the re port. FOSTER IS HOME AGAIN. The Secretary's Health la Much Better. Wasiiingtox, Match 20. — "Yes, I am glad indeed to get home," said Secre tary Foster to a reporter, "and feel much improved in health, and think I did the proper thing at the proper time in going. My trip has been a very pleas ant one, and I regret I had to return so soon, but 1 could not remain longer." The trip has improved the secretary wonderfully, and his appearance is that of a hearty, robust man. and the effect of his recent illness lias entirely disappeared, aa also has the black eye spoken of in the dis patches from New York. "I called on Mr. Goschen, chancellor of the ex chequer," he continued, "and found him ti very pleasant gentlemen. He returned the call, and, while it was not an official visit, we discussed things of interest to both. We spoke of the dif ferent systems of government ami of the silver question. We also talked ot the financial interests of the two coun tries and of the duties of the secretary of the treasury of the United States as compared with the chancellor of the exchequer of England. Our conversa tion, however, had nothing specific in it in regard to the silver question. I found him an exceedingly clever gentle man, and thoroughly acquainted with the monetary systems of the nations." GREAT NAVAL REVIEW. A Hitherto Little - Talked -of World's Fair Feature. Washington*. March 20.— One of the most popular and appropriate features of the coming quadro-centennial cele bration in honor of the discovery of America and the achievements of Co lumbus, the navigator, is the proposed grand review of the navies of the world in Hampton roads and Now York har bor. The promotion of this review has for several reasons been neglected. The exposition management have considered it outside of their jurisdiction, and con gress has thus far failed to appro priate any money to pay the ex penses incident to such a review. To remedy this defect and put into run ning order a movement of such interest and importance to the whole Atlantic seaboard, a citizens' committee, called a board of promotion, has been organized In this city. The presi dent of the board is Hon. .1. L. M. Curry, late- envoy extraordi nary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States, at Madrid. • In an interview tonight with a Post reporter, Mr. Anderson, the author of the review movement, related a number of interest inir facts pertaining to the plan and scope of "this proposed review. The exercises at the review will be under the auspices of - the government. The work of the board will end when it has secured the co-operation .of the boards of trade and cities of the At lantic and gulf coasts.and the necessary legislation by congress. Mr. Anderson said he had a letter from Assistant Secretary Soley giving a list of the United States vessels expected to . take part in the review. This list included the ..following: New York, Maine, Puritan, Monterey, Amphitrite, Miantonomah, Monadnock, Terror, Harbor defense ram, Cruiser No. 0, Chicago, Baltimore. Philadelphia, Newark, San Francisco, Charleston, Cruiser No. 12, Montgomery, Detroit, Cruiser No. 11, Machias. Gun boat No. 6. practice cruiser, Boston, Atlanta, Yorktown, Concord, Benn ington, Petrel, Torpedo Boat No. 1, Torpedo Boat No. 2. In addition to these vessels, the assistant secretary gave a list of wooden ships which will also probably be in commission at the time of the review: Lancaster. Iroquois, Yantic, Jamestown, Marion, Thetis, Adams, Alliance, Kearsarge, Monoiiga-. hela, Mohican, Essex, Portsmouth. Mr.' Anderson said he thought the review would be a standing advertisement for the exposition from the time the fleet leaves" Europe until the guests reach Chicago. -•• Jlme. Clemenceau's Divorce.

Mrs. William Astor Tries to Settle the Unwholesome Family Row. It Is Said Her Sympathy Is Altogether With Her Son in-Law. Stormy Scene Between the Mother and Daughter in a Paris Hotel. Loxnox, Man-h 20.— Mrs, Coleman Drayton appeared at the .top of the staircase in the lodging house, just oil J'iecadilly, last night, tear-stained and tragic. She had jti9t arrived from Paris, "i have no explanation whatever to make," she said. "If Coleman 1 May ton has chosen to make a fool of Himself, it is no affair of mine." Then Bhe slammed the door. So far as tho facts can be learned here, Coleman Drayton has am ple sympathy on his side. Jlo chal lenged Ilalk't Borrowe to lißht, and was quite ready to meet him with any weapons Borrowe initcht select. Dayton told his friends in l'aris and London that if Bor rowe did not light he would shoot him on sight. Borrowe contrived, through his seconds in London, to net the matter referred to an alleged court of honor, of which the Due de Mouiy was chief. This so-called court decided that, as they had good reason to believe that Coleman Drayton had forgiven Ms wife after obtaining her writen confes sion of intimacy with Borrowe, it was therefore unnecessary tor Borrowe te pay attention to the challenge. At one time it seemed almost impossible to avoid the duel, but Borrowe's friends managed to stave it off. Coleman Dray ton thereupon threatened to uo immedi ately to New York aud publii-ly bund Borrowe as • An Arrant Coward. lie has already done so in the St. .lames club and two or three other Lon don dubs with which he is connected. Drayton took passage on the Majestic and sailed under the name of Dixon. When this news reached Borrowe and Milbank, they took tho Irish mail for Queenstown to catch tho same steamer under the ossumed names of Borrows and Milbury. When they went aboard the tender at Queenstown they had not purchased their passage tickets. Mviii suprise is expressed here at Borrowers choice of second. Ed Fox was chosen because he knew liorrowe in Now York some years ago, but Harry Milbank is little known except as the contestant for property left to somebody else by the late Duke of Cleveland's will. Mrs. William Astor came here about six weeks ago on purpose to settle this un wholesome family row. William Wal dorf Astor refused to mix up in it m any way whatever. Ho prevailed on Mrs. William Astor to put up at a hostelry less than 100 yards from Lansdowne house. Coleman Drayton came her.! from Paris on purpose to see Mrs. Will iam Astor, and after listening to his story she went back with him to Paris, convinced, so it is reported, that his im peachment of her daughter's chastity was not altogether without foundation in fact. If what she said to two or throe intimate friends in London is to be be lieved, her sympathy is with Coleman Drayton. This intimacy between ytrm. Drayton and Borroive began in New York. Coleman Drayton found it out and complained to Mrs. William Astor, who contrived to mend matters by sending botii Drayton and his wife to Europe, upon Mrs. Dray ton's absolute promise that she would never see Borrowe again. Before Cole man Drayton had been in London many weeks he discovered that Hallett Bor rowe was here also, and was meeting Mrs. Drayton in '.he drawing room of the Victoria hotel. It is not true that Borrowe and Mrs. Drayton were living openly together at this hotel. Borrowe had a single bedroom there. When Coleman Drayton heard that Bor rowe was in London he cabled to Mrs. William Astor. who promptly came over here. When she met her daughter in tho Hotel Liverpool in Paris there was a stormy scene. The result is that Coleman Dray ton started for America, Mrs. Drayton came to London and Mrs. Astor left yes terday lor Algiers. Coleman Drayton went to another hotel in Paris and re fused to see his wife. All this is cur rent gossjp in the London clubs, where Drayton spent much time, and where sympatny is almost entirely on his side. He challenged Borrowe to a fair fight. Borrowe avoided it through the flimsy excuse invented by his seconds that, as Drayton had practically condoned bis wife's intrigue, they could not allow him to fight. William Waldorf Astor has left London for Tanlow. He de clined to be interviewed, and said he knew nothing whatever about the case. NEW YOIiK SOCIETY AGOG. Gotham's Upper Tontlom Patient- ly Awaiting the Majestic. Nkw York. March 20.— A1l society, as well as the general public, has been agos over the Dray ton-Bon owe scandal. Nearly everybody concedes that it h Mr. Borrowe'a side of the story alone which has been heard, and all hesitate to condemn Mr. Drayton as a complais ant husband and taker of hush money until he is in a position to combat the charge. This, of course, he cannot do until' the Majestic arrives next Wednes day. Until that time tew Americans will be willing to take the verdict of a couple of Frenchmen, no matter how distinguished they may be in their own country, who have been constituted a jury by Mr. Borrowe's seconds to de termine, on evidence furnished by the principal, whether or not Mr. Draytou is a worthy antagonist to stand up be fore the man who has robbed hiru of his wife.U It is said that Drayton's brother and two 01 his influential friends are author ity for the statement that he <loes not know of the recent developments of the case. The result is that the friends ot both men propose to charter tuts Mon day next. As soon as the Majestic is sighted there wili be a race down the bay in order to fret to the b\% steamship first. The Drayton tug will contain his brother, two I'hiladelpnia friends, and a number of New Yorkers. Drayton's brother proposes to inform him of ail that has occurred.

New York, March 20.— Mrs. Homer Baldwin, who was injured In the Hast ings railroad wreck on Christmas eve, submitted yesterday to a painful opera tion at tlie Getty house, onkers. 'Hie unfortunate woman's sightless eyes were removed, as was one hand at the wrist and the lingers of the other band.

"-I know that I shall never con out of the ether alive," she said, "but 1 am willing to take every possible chance of living that is offered me." Dr. David Johns administered the ether, and the operations were made. The first operation, that of removing the eyes, was performed by Dr. Citllan, assisted by Dr. Shopen. It lasted twenty-five minutes. Then Dr. Schipon amputated four dead bones thai pro truded from the right hand and patched up the mutilated thumb of the hand. He then cut away the heart of the dead bone of the left arm and removed the mortifying flesh around it. The opera tions 'mi the hands lasted just eight minutes, and a short time afterwards Mrs. Baldwin came to* and called for hor father.
