London.July 13 ^The general elec^^tion, the regatta and the visit of the^Italian fleet under the Duke of Gsnoa^to Splthead have been uppermost In^the public mind the past week. The^elections practically commenced yes^^terday, with the returns of 36 unop^^posed candidates, Including 30 conserv^^atives, three liberals and three Parnell-^ites. Mr. Goschen is the new first lord^of the admiralty. Sir Ellis Ashmcad^iiartlett is a native qf Brooklyn and^was formerly civil lord of the admiral^^ty In Lord Salisbury's administration^In 18S5, and again from 1886 to 1S92.^Mr. Heaton is the author of the ^Im^^perial ocean penny postage^ scheme,^and Mr. Mundell was formerly presi^^dent of the board of trade, with a seat^in the cabinet of the late liberal gov^^ernment.

NewYork, July 13.^Victoria Wood-^hull Martin was arrested here at the^j Hotel Majestic as she was about to sail^! for Europe. The order for Mrs. Mar^^tin's arrest was signed by Justice Sto^^ver on July 7 In the supreme court^chambers in a suit brought by Mrs.^Ella C W.illes, In the superior court to^recover 11,500, the value of goods which^she says Mrs Martin wrongfully and^feloniously converted to her own use.^Mrs. Martin. It Is alleged, destroyed^certain articles of household furniture^and clothing and seven trunks. Mrs.^Martin, after her arrest, accompanied^a deputy sheriff to the sheriffs office^and gave a $1,000 bill in lieu of ball.^She was then released and returned to^the Majestic hotel. She declined to say^whether she would sail Monday or not.^Mrs. Martin and her niece, Mrs. Wolles.^have, for some time past, been on bad^j terms, owing to a disagreement over^business affairs.

readyso much has been cabled that^not much remains to be said. The^straightforward statement made by^Captain Freeborn on behalf of the Cor^^nell crew should set at rest the rumors^spread by the friends of the Leanders^against the fair dealing of the young^men from Ithaca.
TheItalian fleet arrived off Splthead^on the morning of the 9th and later^admirals were received on board H. M.^S. Victory by the commander-in-chief,^the vice admiral commanding the^channel squadron and other officers of^the British fleet. The officers after^^wards returned their visit on the Mac-^ship. Quite a dramatic scene occurred^on board the Victory when the Duke^of Genoa was shown the brass plate^marking the spot where Nelson fell at^the battle of Trafalgar. The Duke of^Genoa gazed at It for a moment, and^then stretched out his hand and the^two admirals, Admiral Salmon and th^^duke, shook hands across the plate,^and without speaking and surrounded^by .the onicers of both fleets. The Ital^^ian officers and men are being very^warmly received and arc being feted,^dined and lunched several times every^day. This reception Is Intended to be,^and is Interpreted as, an offset to the^Franco-Russo demonstration on the oc^^casion of the opening of the Kaiser^Wllhelm canal between the Baltic and^North seas.
Thesocial season has been brought^to a premature end. The elite of the^aristocracy has been at Henley for^three days this week, but the bulk of^the politicians have packed their^trunks and gone Into the country.
Theleaders of the different political^parties are already In the thick of the^fight and are addressing meetings^nightly. As an Instance of the activ^^ity of the leaders It may be mentioned^that Sir William Vernon Harcourt,^who was chancellor of the exchequer^In the Itosebery cabinet, is booked to^address three meetings In Derbyshire^on Monday. The most sensational fea^^ture of the campaign Is the charge^which Mr. Hoadly made against the^Irish parliamentary party at the Na^^tionalist convention at Omagh, county^Tyrone, on Monday last. The conven^^tion was called to choose candidates^for the election of Tyrone and Mr.^Healy. amid excitement, accused John^Dillon of selling Tyrone to the English^party.
Thequeen is taking a keen Interest^In the elections, and will be supplied^with all the results by a special wire^run to Windsor Castle from London.
Accordingto Vanity Fair she has ex^^pressed a strong opinion regarding the^so-called ^new woman,^ and especially^as to tho style of her dress. The queen,^it Is added, is also strongly opposed to^the ^advanced novel,^ and remarked^recently to one of her entourage that^It was a great public that was in a^mood to buy such books, and that If^there were no purchasing public, the^pens would cease to write such matter.
JeffersonM. Lovy, the owner of^Montlcello, Virginia. Jefferson's old^home, Is the most enthusiastic man In^London, because he had an Interview^with the Prince of Wales. Mr. Lovy^attended the sale of the Prince of^Wales' hackney horses at Sandrlng-^ham on Thursday last, where William^Waldorf Astor paid the highest price,^Jj.000, for a pair of harness horses. The^sale khs largely attended by members^of the royal family and representatives^of the nobility. ^I had a long talk^with the prince,^ said Mr. Lovy, ^and^he gave me a special Invitation to come^and see him again. He asked me a^number of questions about America,^but he seemed especially intersted In^Virginia. I was surprised at his Inti^^mate knowledge of the Old Dominion.^Ho told mo all about his visit to Mount^Vernon when he Was In America, and^he said he would like to go there^again, but he has not the time to do^so.

DOESN'TWANT YANK
CORBETTHAS SOMETHING TO^SAY ABOUT A REFEREE.
ItAppear! That Th.s Ambitious Spurt lias^Hern Boomlug lllins: If for the^important Offlce at Dallas.
NewYork, July 13.^James J. Corbett,^In a published Interview, stated point^blank that Yank Sullivan would not^be referee in his coming light with Fltx-^slmmons. His remarks, as follows, are^not complimentary to the local prize^ring enthusiast:
Fitzsimmonsstates that 'Yank' Sul^^livan was my first choice for a referee.^If he said so he lies, and would not^meet me and tell me as truth such a^lot of trash as he pours Into the ears^of the newspaper men he meets. Now,^1 never proposed the name of 'Yank'^Sullivan and I would not now or at^any other tlm.r The reason^ Well, In^tho first place, Mr. Sullivan has sought^the position and pushed himself for^^ward in every effort to secure it. That^Is tho reason and a good one. The man^who Is planning himself to secure the^office of referee for a contest of this im^^portance Is Just the man you don't want^to appoint.
Notthai 'Yank' Sullivan is not an^honest man. 1 don't mean to Insinuate^anything of that kind, hut 1 know him^only casually and cannot personally^vouch for the man In consequence. My^only acquaintance with him has been^through visiting his saloon whenever 1^have been In Syracuse. Of course it^has brought him trade and he has bec:i^pleased and It hasn't hurt me.
Sullivanhimself suggested this^referee business to m^ a long time ago.^He asked me about It so often that 1^became annoyed, and when he finally^requested my opinion as to how ho^would do, if named. I replied that It^was Immaterial to me who was named^so long as a good, honest and capable^man was chosen. Then he chases to^New York and was there the day Fitz^^simmons and I met, booming himself^along. Then he goes to Fitzsimmons^and finally obligates the Australian by^becoming his bondsman.

Denver,July 13.^A special to the^News from Lander, Wyo., Indicates^that a second battle has occurred be^^tween the Bannock Indians and white^settlers in the Jackson Hole country,^south of the Yellowstone park. The^dispatch says: Word comes from the^I'pper Wind river to-day that some^Indians have been killed and several^white men wounded, but no particu^^lars have been received. On Tuesday^morning W. L. Simpson, ex-cuunty at^^torney of this county, who has rela^^tives living in Jackson's Hole, headed^a small party to go to the rescue of^friends there. Word from Jackson's^Hole Is anxiously awaited here. A spe^^cial message from Fort Washakie to-^night says that In the encounter with^the Indians three settlers were badly^wounded and that several Indians^were also wounded and some killed,^but it is not known how many.
Indianpolice were dispatched several^days ago from Shoshone agency to^Marysvllle, in Jackson's Hole, and dis^^patches from there are due sSHsMCTOW.
Thetrouble was started by an at^^tempt to arrest band of Banrockl^who were wantonly slaughterlnc fe^^male elk for ih^ purpose of taking out^the foetus, which is regarded as a^dainty luxury by the Indians. Last
fthe Indians killed several hundred^of the cow ^lks fOf the same purpose,^and the white settlers protested loudly^against the outrage, and they prepared^tin rr.selves to arrest and punish any^Indians who should repeat the offense^this year.

The councils^c ommit tee having charge of the affair^'held a meeting yesterday and appoint^^ed a number of subcommittees to at^^tend to the various details of the trip.^The 'u noil in en who are to accompany^the great treasure are enthusiastic over^the affair.
Thebell will probably start on Its^Journey Sept. 15. as the exposition will^open Sept. IS. General Agent Lat a of^the Pennsylvania railroad company,^has offered to have built a special cat^similar to that which carried the bell^to Chicago. This and the transpor- i^tatlon of the bell will be free of ex- |^pense.
Thefirst thing done at the me^tln;t^was tho reading of a U tter from Presi^^dent Charles Henry Jones of the So- :^olety of the Sons of the Revolution. 1^who denied the report that the society^was opposed to the trip of the bell. As^a matter of fact, he said, the matter^had not ev 'n been discussed. This was^f II .wed by a stsjjtcment from Mr^Hicks, who was one of those who had^opposed the proposition in the coun^^cils, that the bell should go smith. He^said:
Ihave learned enough lately to con- !^vlnce me that the bell ought to go^south. When It comes to the so-called^Sons of the Revolution, or Individual^inen.liet.s of Mm society criticising us as^they have done, It comes with very bad^grace after the treatment they hav ^^received from councils. Mr. Jones^should see that Htott Is an official de^^nial of the report.

On the green, a^vast assemblage, estimated at between^40,t)00 and 8o,fl^lO persons, was ready at^the midday hour to begin with the^greatest religious gathering In the his^^tory of the world. The clear sky of the^eatly moinlng was already marred by^ominous clouds, and President Francis^E. Clark, D. D.. glanced fearfully sky^^ward, l ut opened the services at the^appointed hour. Then came a heavy
;rain, but the discomfort cans, d by

Pitiful Scones Among Helpless^Women and Children - Houses^Carried Away -Ten Minutes^Afterward the Sun Shone.
NewYork. July 13.^The first cyclone^In many years struck N a Y irk this^afternoon and resulted fatally In one^Instance besides wrecking a larg ^^amount of valuable property, At W I^haven a woman waa sick In bed. The^house was picked up and carried by^the storm more than a block. Finally^the woman was landed on one side of^the street and the house on the other.^Th.- woman had a miraculous escape^from serious Injury. Mrs. Louisa K -^trouquln of Third avenue, near R ^cka-^way, was killed. She stood in the door^^way of her house when a Hying beam^struck her on the head crushing in her^skull.
Hackensack.N. J.. July 13 ^A terri^^fic storm swept over 'his section this^afternoon, doing great damage. At^Cherry Hill, a small village. It devel^^oped a cyclonic fury, attended by a^demolition of the village and a num^^ber of deaths. Cherry Hill received^the full sweep of the w in Is. Within a^minute after the storm broke 27 houses^were wrecked. At the present time it Is^known that Ave wer killed and the In^^jured are numbered by the score.
Thedead are Conrad Frelderman.^hotel keeper; three unknown laborers;^a child of William Ahrens.
Thestorm center was about 300 feet^In width and the strip over which It^passed Is a n.ass ,,t ruins. Not a build^^ing In Its path was spared. The rail^^road depot was wrecked and the agent^badly Injured. Opposite the depot was^the hotel of the vllage, kept by Con^^rad Frelderman. When he reached the^door to the street a whirlwind struck^him. He was caught up and hurled 13^or 20 feet to the ground, the building^toppling over and crushing him to^death.
TneInfant of the Ahrens family was^lying in a crib when the crash came.^The house waa unroofed and a flying^stick xtruck the child in the head, tear^^ing off one of the ears as clean as^though severed by a surgeon's knife,^causing death. When the husband,^who is a New York business man. re^^turned, the sun was shining brightly^and his wife was sitting amid the ru^^ins witli the body of her dead child In^her arms.
TwoPolish laborers who were killed^took shelter In a barn which was car^^ried away by the storm. Half an hour^later the mangled bodies were dragged^from the ruins. The third Pole killed^met his fate In a similar way. Hardly^a person living In the track of the^storm escaped injury- All are cut and^bruised and many, it Is thought, are^fatally Injured.
Thelatest reports Indicate that Wil^^lie Frlederman. whose father was^killed, will also die. Alexander Jones,^village blacksmith, was buried beneath^the timbers of his shop. He was tak^^en out badly bruised and sent to the^hospital. His house waa dashed to^pieces. Edward Chimok was seriously^If not fatally. Injured by the fall of his^barn. The cyclone went through the^village rapidly and 10 minutes after^the first gusts of w in I gave Indication^of 'he coming storm the sun was shin^^ing.
Atthe hamlet of Falrmount. a few^miles from Cherry Hill, six hotis -s^were blown down and a dozen persons^injured. As yet no fatalities have been^reported. The news of the disaster at^Cherry Hill was brought here and all^available physicians in town started at^once for the scene.
