LONDON, May 9.—The Prince of
Wales and the Countess of Warwick
have succeeded in once more absorbing
the gossip of society for the best part
of the week, and many of the vener
able dames and blushing belles of the
world of aristocracy have not yet
ceased chattering or whispering over
the doings of the heir apparent and
his beautiful friend, sometimes re-
ferred to as the "Babbling Brook" of
the days of the great baccarat scan
dal, when she was simply Lady
Brooke. The prince, the mischief
mongers point out, spent Sunday at
Warwick castle, where a hastily ar
ranged house party, which included Sir
Frederick Sykes, Maj. Gen. Sir Francis
Greenfell, "Willie" Low and others had
been gathered together to meet the
prince. The lovely countess took the
Prince of Wales up the river Avon
in an electric launch, and in the after
noon the party enjoyed a "tea" on the
lawn of the court yard, where the la
dies and gentlemen also played tennis
and cycled, and, in short, enjoyed
themselves greatly. Of course this, in
itself, was sufficient to start the
tongues of the gossips off at a full
speed, but the rate then was nothing
to the clatter which followed the an
nouncement on Thursday that the
Countess of Warwick had been prac
tically presented to the queen, at the
drawing room held at Buckingham pal
ace. It is true that Princess Chris
tian of Schleswig-Holstein (second
daughter of her majesty) presided; but
it was "in behalf" of Queen Victoria
that she did so, and a presentation to
the princess upon that occasion was
equivalent to being presented to the
queen herself.
The Princess of Wales, who was to
have presided at this function, was
'unavoidably" absent in the South of
France, where she is visiting her sis
ter, the empress of Russia. To add to
the triumph of the countess she was
presented by no less a personage than
the Marchioness of Salisbury, wife of
the premier, and was the center of
admiration.
Growing interest is taken in the com
ing wedding of Princess Maud of
Wales to Prince Charles of Denmark.
The royal family will put off their
mourning for Prince Henry of Batten
burg on the day of the ceremony, and
it is expected that the order of dress
will be the same as at the wedding of
the Duke and Duchess of York. The
proposal that the wedding shali take
place in the private chapel at Buck
ingham palace, where the Duke and
Duchess of Fife were married, has not
been kindly received in the quarters
most concerned. It will be practically
impossible to have a semi-private cere
mony owing to the fact that Prince
Charles is the son of a reigning mon
arch, and Is moreover closely allied to
the English house.
It-is not likely that the young Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough will spend
any portion of the summer at New
port. The couple are making exten
sive arrangements for the entertain
ment of large house parties at Blen
heim at the conclusion of the London
season. The duke and duchess will
also entertain largely in town in addi
tion to giving the looked forward to
"Week End" parties at Blenheim.
The Marquis of Donegall, who is
hereditary high admiral of Lough
Neigh, and clerk of the peace for Bel
fast, is in the bankruptcy court. His
liabilities are estimated to be £319,000,
and his assets thus far are £122,000.
London has been at its best during
the past week. The weather has been
warm and bright, and the parks and
streets have been crowded. There are
many Americans in town, and many
more are expected.
Lord Dunham has sold his collieries
from which he derived an income of
about £70,000, to Sir James Joicey, the
wealthy North country coal owner,
who for years has been a sort of a
gold mine for the Liberal party, in
whose interests he represents the Ches
ter Lee street division of Durham in
the house of commons. On the other
hand, a receiving order has been issued
against Earl Poulett, father of the
notorious Viscount Hinton, who for
years tried to shame his family into
supporting him in idleness by playing
a hand organ in the streets. When
last reported In the newspapers, about
a year ago, the viscount was acting as
Showman for a kintescope near Leather
Lane, Holburne. He said that organ
grinding had permanently crippled his
right arm, and that he greatly pre
ferred the occupation of showman. The
family estate of Hinton, St. George
Park, covering about a thousand acres
of ground and many treasures, includ
ing a £10,000 Vandkye, are offered for
sale at £600. It is believed these pro
ceedings are taken to prevent the or
gan grinder viscount from inheriting
the heirlooms..
The theaters continue to do a good
business, the music halls being espe
cially crowded. The "Gay Parisienne"
is still drawing large houses, and
"Biarritz," which has been almost en
tirely rewritten, is still an attraction.
The cast of' Henry IV.,"which was pre
sented yester'dlay, is' an exceedingly
strong one. The title of the play which
will succeed the "Sign of St. Hulda"
is "The Matchmaker." R. S. Willard
has secured a strong play In "The
Rogue's Comedy," and will be a great
success during his American tour. The-
Strand theater will be reopened next
week by Wilfred Clarke, son of John
Sleeper Clarke, Mr. Clarke securing
several new plays, among them "A
Bad Eot." The old and familiar
Toole's theater will shortly, be pulled
down, and its space occupied by an
addition to the Cross hospital. Yvette
Guilbert is proving a great attrac
tion at the Empire theater. Regard
ing her recent trip to the United States
she is quoted as saying that New
Yorkers have no individuality. She
hated Chicago, especially its citizens,

press her at all.
GIFFORD FOR GOVERNOR.

Special to the Globe,
CANTON, S. D., May 9.—The Lincoln
county Republican convention held today In
dorsed O. S. Gifford, of this county, for
governor, and instructed delegates to work
for that end. The convention was the larg
est ever held in the history of the county.

Sontb Dakota for Sound Money.
ABERDEEN, S. D., May 9.—lt is claimed
that South Dakota will be found in Hne at
Chicago with the supporters of Cleveland and
the single standard. At the state convention
to be held in this city on the 20th inst. the
sound money people will generally have the
advantage, as they come largely from the
towns and cities and will be more likely to
attend the convention than the free silver
advocates, who are found principally on the
farms, and will be too busy to turn out their
real fighting strength. Judge Edgerton's poor
health will enhance the attendance upon the
state convention. The alleged candidates for
his place are Carland, of Sioux Falls; Steele,
of Dead wood; Woods, of Rapid City; Han
ton, of Watertown; Crofoot, of Aberdeen,
and Bartlett Tripp, of Yankton. All are
expected to attend the convention in order to
meet the party leaders and sound the senti
ment.
Torrents on the Reservation,
FOSSTON, Minn., May 9.—Recent rains and
the opening of lumber dams cause the lands
along the reservation's rivers to be flooded
for miles In many places. Lost river is two
miles wide where formerly there was only a
creek. Lost river ford, on the Pine lake
road, is flooded so that crossing is impossi
ble. The heaviest rain and hall of the season
fell last night. The War road river is a
young Missouri, and the Clearwater is a tur
bi'i torrent.
New Ulm Teachers.
NEW ULM, Minn., May 9.—Teachers have
been elected for the high school for the com
ing year, as follows. Superintendent, E. T.
Critchett; high school principal, Herbert Carl
ton; assistant, Mabel H. Thomas. The old
grade teachers were all re-elected and an ad
ditional teacher employed in higher grade
work. Principal V. S. Clark goes to Lake
City as superintendent, and Mrs. Koehler, the
former assistant, goes to Winthrop for the
coming year.
Rain Is Needed
Special to the Globe,
ALBERT LEA, May 9.—The absence of
rain for a week or ten days had left tho
ground, at least on top, quite dry, and tho
entire ram fall this spring only wet down
three feet. The result Is that moisture Is
needed for the growing grain and grass,
although it is just the weather for planting
corn and potatoes, and a large acreage is
being put In.
On the Trail of the Rustlers
PIERRE, S. D., May 9.—The different cattle
organiza*' *ns in this part of the state are
making it hot for rustlers. Yesterday the
Sully county association succeeded in placing
Fred Bennett under heavy bonds on a charge
of rustling, and Deputy Marshals Ash and
Oshes are now out after W. F. Rudy, wanted
on the same charge, and whose case is being
looked after by the Missouri River associa
tion.
Epworth Leaguers at Northfield,
NORTHFIELD, Minn., May 9.—Over 200
delegates of the St. Paul district of Epworth
league were in session in this city today, and
although the thermometer registers about 90,
the members are taking an active part in
the society's doings. Reports were read this
morning by delegates from over thirty towns,
which showed that there were over 2,500 mem
bers in the district.
Evidently Mode No Case
REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., May 9—The
Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance
company has paid Mrs. H. Beard the ad
justed insurance on the Park hotel, destroy
ed by incendiaries a year ago last April.
The company had refused to pay, on the
ground of incendiarism, but, Friday, stipula
tion of dismissal of suit was entered.
Amateur Burglars at Work
Special to the Globe,
PRESTON, Minn., May 9.—The stores of
E. B. Hartwell and C. W. Watklns, at Har
mony, were burglarized last night. Entrance

Hart-well's. It is supposed to be the work
of residents.

tho center of city; the boulevarding will be

Ex-Chancellor.
BERLIN, May 9.—The Reichsanzei
ger today publishes a long article
warning Germans against emigrating
to the United States, and giving ex
tracts from the annual report of the
German Society of New York refer
iing to the increase in the number of
ignorant immigrants from Italy, Rus
sia, Ireland and Austria, with whom,
the report adds, the educated German
mechanics cannot compete, because
they are used to a higher standard of
living. In addition, German emigrants
with capital are cautioned against in
vesting in land, title to which, it is
said, is often fraudulent or doubtful,
or which other conditions may make
unprofitable. Clerks, teachers, officers,
scientists and female teachers especial
ly are advised not to go to America,
no matter how undesirable the condi
tions at their homes. The same paper
also says that the immigration law
proposed will not improve affairs.
The socialist organ, Vorwaerts, pub
lishes a story of the existence of high
profits in the German gunpowder man
ufacturers' ring, and promises a com
plete expose of its alleged corrupt
practices, shortly, in the reichstag.
The Vorwaerts adds that some mem
bers of the emperor's staff, belonging
to the ring, have hitherto prevented
its exposure.
The exhibitors at the exposition, at
a banquet on Wednesday, formed a
society for the purpose of arranging
for the representation of Berlin* at all
future expositions at home and abroad.
By tomorrow the electric lights will be
in operation, and will Illuminate the
entire exhibition. A giant telescope
will be put in position in the exposi
tion on June 1. The exhibits, how
ever, are generally behind, and will not
be complete until June 1. Barely 1,500
out of 3,000 exhibitors have their ex
hibits in place.
Prince Bismarck, speaking to the
members of a delegation from Bremen
a few days ago, said: "God has
planted discontent In us as a spur,
and we must renounce the belief that
a general state of content will ever
arise in this world, either by social
democracy or in any other way. That
is impossible. We would become noth
ing but idle dogs, who would lie under
palm trees and do nothing but eat
the dates which fell into their mouths."
The blind Grand Duke of Meck
lenburgh-Strelitz- had a narrow escape
Wednesday. He was being led over
the railroad at the new Brandenburg
station, when his foot caught in the
rails, and he was unable to extricate
it. There was at the time a heavy
traffic on the road owing to the horse
fair, and several trains were due to
arrive. The engineer of a locomotive
on an air line saw the grand duke's
peril, rushed to his assistance and
succeeded in extricating him, while
the station master ran along the line,
waving his cap and stopping two ap
proaching trains in the nick of time.
An American syndicate has been bor
ing for oil for several months past
near Wietze and Steinfoerde, Hanover,
and has finally succeeded In striking
oil, which will be put upon the market
within the next two weeks. Experts
say that the whole district is rich
with petroleum.
A large number 'of American tourists
have arrived in this city during the
past week or so, and many of them
have already proceeded or will pro
ceed next week to Moscow In order to
be present at the czar's coronation.
Gen. McCook will leave for Moscow
tomorrow.
The new United States ambassador,
Edwin F. Uhl, has, during the week,
been received in audience by all the
Prussian princes in this city, but he
will not entertain nor be entertained
until th*e fall, as the season is too far
advanced.
The cabinet' crisis continues. The
unbroken series of parliamentary fail
ures which thre various ministers are
meeting with in t'le reichstag as well
as in the diet have shown the emperor
that the cabinet will not be able to
accomplish any legislation of impor
tance, owing to its total lack of in
fluence over the delegates and the want
of cohesion among the ministers. Some
idea of the situation may be formed
when it is known that the emperor,
during the past week, said to a con
fidant: '"It would he better for me
to fetch the old man back again." By
"the old man" his majesty referred
to Prince Bismarck.
The emperor is still regretting the
dismissal of Baron yon Koeller, the
Prussian minister of the Interior, of
whom he speaks as being at least a
capable man. All the present ministers
have been discredited by the country—
Prince 1 [ohenlohe, owing to his physi
cal inability to properly represent the
government, and Dr. yon Boetticher,
imperial minister for the interior; Bar
on yon Berlepsch, minister of com
merce; Dr. Bosse, minister of instruc
tion; Gen. Bronsart yon Schellendorf,
minis;er for war, and Dr.* Schoenstedt,
mlnisier of justice, owing to their in
ability to get the government meas
ures adopted. The present minister for
the interior. Baron yon der Recke yon
Derhorst, is no orat••r,. and is with
out parliamentary experience, nor has
he any skill In such matters. These
facts are openly di.-sussed at court,
and the possible successors of the min
isters are warmly argued over.
The emperor is greatly disgusted at
the defeat of the school reform law in
the diet, due to Dr. yon Bosses' want
of skill, and at the rejection of the
chamber of commerce bill, which was
a hard slap at Dr. yon Boetticher and
Baron yon -Beplepsch. However, it is
probable that the. members of the
present cabinet wifi hold their posts
until the fall," as the sessions .of . the
diet and reichstag are drawing to a
close, and the emperor has a well-filled
programme for the summer, which will
keep him fiom -Berlin for months. In
spite of this, it is borne in mind that
"WONDER HOW THE HAT I AVON IN INDIANA WILL FITfW
his majesty has expressed himself
strongly on the inability of the cab
inet, and there is an impression in
court circles that if the ministerial fail
ures continue he may lose his patience
and force the resignation of the whole
cabinet.
HEAVY RAINS.
In Nebraska the Storm Was Almost
Cyclonic
OMAHA, Neb., May 9.—For the past
twenty-four hours a severe storm has
been raging throughout Nebraska. In
some sections it assumed cyclonic pro
portions and did considerable damage.
In Adams county many small dwell
ings were destroyed and some stock
killed, but no fatalities were noted.
Great quantities of rain fell in all
Western counties. It was not heavy
enough to destroy small grain, which
is in excellent condition throughout the
state.
KANSAS CITY, May 9.—Reports re
ceived today from Central and West
ern Kansas state that heavy rains
fell last night and today. The pros
pects are that before tomorrow night
all of Kansas, Oklahoma and Western
Missouri will have received good rains,
and it is generally conceded that most
of the damage thus far done, except
in limited localities, will be repaired
by the favorable weather.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9. — Tht
steamer Monowai brings news of th»
wholesale massacre of traders and mis
sionaries by natives of the islands of
Manning straits and the Solomons.
Malayta savages butchered a whole
boat's crew of men from the brig Rio
Loge, at Rublana, two French and one
American trader being also slaugh
tered. The mission on the islands was
attacked, and the missionaries escaped
with difficulty, going back to Sydney
by the first ship. The murders on the
island of Manning Straits were fol
lowed by acta of cannibalism. A small
trading Bchooner owned by a French
trader, was attacked, and the owner
and his American assistant and eight
peaceful natives were lured ashore and
beaten to death, and the trading sta
tioned was sacked. Two English mis
sionaries are missing, and it is sup
posed they were also murdered. The
mission on Tounan island has been
abandoned as the results of the atroc
ities of the natives.
The Manowai also brings the news
that the rebel party continues to men
ace the government, and is equipped
for war, having succeeded in import
ing a supply of arms and ammunition
through unscrupulous local traders.
The king is anxious to obtain arms
for the government party, but the
consuls vetoed his proposition, be
lieving an uprising can be prevented
by watchfulness. The natives have
been greatly excited over a false ru
mor that Mataafa and his fellow ex
iles were to be returned to Samoa. At
a large native Talolo on April 18, a
quarrel regarding precedence occurred,
resulting in the killing of seven na
tives and the serious wounding of five
others. It is reported In Fiji that a
British company is being formed to
purchase the German interests in Ton
ga and Samoa.
The British bark Centaur, Capt.
John Isbestor, was burned and aban
doned at sea on April 17. The captain
and crew of twenty-two men arrived
at Silo April 25, after going 800 miles
in open boats. The vessel caught i\%
in the hold. The flames spread very
rapidly from one quarter to another,
aided by the combustible material
aboard. For many years the Centaur
plied between the Pacific coast, the
colonies and England. She sailed
from San Francisco April 5 for Queens
land with a cargo of wheat valued at
$70,000.

ASHLAND, Wis., May 9. — Flames
laid waste property amounting to $500,
--000 today. It was the worst fire in the
history of Ashland, utterly wiping out
the leading mill plant in the city and
throwing hundreds of men out of work.
In the short space of two hours nearly
$500,000 worth o£ property was de
stroyed by the flames. Two men were
driven out on the dock by the flames
only to meet death by drowning, and
it is reported that others have met the
same fate, though their names cannot
be learned until the bodies are recov
ered. Shore's mill, with docks, worth
5100,000; the main dock of Durfee's
plant and 18.000,000 feet of lumber
were consumed by the flame-a. Shore'_
losa is nearly $300,000. W. R. Durfee
loses about $30,000 on dock, and the
rest is lost by local and outside lum
bermen, owning lumber on Durfee'S
dock a.s follows: J. F. Vandooser, sev-
eral thousand feet; Ketcham Lumber
Co., Chicago; Charles Crogster, 250,000
feet. Thomas Matson. 200.000 feet;
NOrth Wisconsin Lumber company, of
Hay ward, 3,000,000 feet; Silverthorne &
Co., Tonawanda, 1.000.000; Hynes Lum
ber company, 1,000,000 feet; N. Boutin,
240,000. W.R. Sutherland, Crogster and
Boutin had no insurance on their
stocks, and a portion of Vandooser's
stock was not insured. Shore's insur
ance on mill and lumber was about
80 per cent of the loss.
The fire started at 10:30 in the saw
dust at the middle of Durfee's cast
dock. In fifteen minutes the great
piles of lumber on each side were en
veloped in flames. It was useless to
attempt to stay the fire. Pile after
pile of lumber on Durfee's dock fell
prey to the flames, and s<>"ii the efforts
of the firemen were concentrated in
trying to prevent the spread to
Shore's property. These heroic efforts,
periling the lives of the brave m*-m who
tried to save the mill, were all in vain.
In an hour the flames had crossed the
r arrow channel ami scon several piles
on the west dock of Shore's property
were fiercely burning. This meant the
doom of the entire plant. The plan
ing mill caught fire and the flamea
crept within a few feet of the mill
plant. In a few seconds the flames
were eagerly licking every portion of
the mill structure, and the Intense
heat threatened the lives of the dozen
men who had remained on the west
duck. They made the most heroic
efforts to escape Many ran across the
logs in the boom and found their way
safely to land; others w.-nt to within
a very few feet of the flames In order
to reach the boom stlekn, and the heat
even score-tied their clothing One man,
the last to leave, tried the same thing.
The flam* s drove him back to the very
edge of the dock, where, to save meet
ing death by the flames, he was sen
by the hundreds of people on the shore
to jump into the bay, and there, with a
gasp and a shriek, gave up the life he
had fought so bravely for One other
man was seen to jump into the bay
and drown The bodies have not yet
been recovered, and the names of the
unfortunates are not known
This evening the body of Peter Enge
man was taken from the bay. Hi*
clothes took fire early in the day, and
a thousand people saw him plunge into
the water to escape from the Bame_
surroundlng and enveloping him. But
the other two men are known to have
lost their lives, two of those reported
missing being found tonight.
