IndL The price paid by the general was a cover for sixty-three people. This was, perhaps, onp of the costliest banquets ever given In Washington, a place which U recognized as a banquet city, but the caterers claim now that there Is little or no money In banquets unless on a very large scale. Besides the food, flowers are always an expensive item. Now and then persons file claims against the United States for service in the Confederate army. A Chicago man named Taylor asked Congress for several sessions to give him $10,000 for having suggested to President Lincoln the Idea of Issuing greenbacks. One Colonel De Armond made repeated demands for 0,000 for having shown General Grant how to capture the town of Paducah, Ky.

Unquestionably many claims against the government are just ones, but It U difficult to get them considered by Congress, and lives have been ruined and fortunes wrecked In efforts to get settlements. Many of these claims are handed down from generation to generation and are now no nearr a settlement than when tirst Med. Nothing Is more difficult than to get consideration from Congress. Kven If favorably acted upon by committees, the chances are against favorable consideration in the House, and even If successful there, a miracle must interpose to secure Its approval by the Senate and the President's signature. Chief Yoeman Wills, of the Navy Department, who has agreed to take the part of Uncle Sam in the peace Jubilee here thia month, is the tallest man in the navy, measuring six feet seven Inches In his stocking feet. He. is a native of Scotland, but claims Florida as his home, and it was from that State that he enlisted at the breaking out of thft war with Spain. Having previously i-erved as a purser on a merchantman, he was soon promoted to quartermaster, and when the war closed was called to Washington. Extensive preparations are being made by the saloon keepers for the coming reace Jubilee in this city, and there will be no r.eed for any resident or visitor to go thirsty. The sabonlts have been liberal In their contributions to the Jubilee fund, and they expect good return. Washington Is a liberal place, and the fellow who gets on rim ply a plain Jag without any trimmings will not te required to pay a tine. He will only be loktd up and fed at the city's expense until thoroughly sober and able to navigate. There is no law here providing a fine for a plain drunk. Publl Printer Palmer continues to use th scalping knife in his department, and assigns as a reason that the appropriation Is short and there Is little work on hand requiring Immediate attention. Many of the faithful who have been waiting the lifting of the civil service blanket from this office rtlll hop that the President will l.-sue his order before the 1st of .Inly, at which time the 34-a-day pay to printers and bookbinders goes into effect. There Is a feeling among some of the printers that the Increase in pay will foot up so much that It will result In an effort bfing made to place typesetting machines in the office the largest in the world. W. G. NICHOLAS. PERIL IN UMBRELLAS. Ushtnlnsr Strike One and mrljr Kills a Young Girl. NEW YORK. May 0. During a violent thunderstorm last night lightning struck Sadie Tunic, a Russian girl, tnlrteen years old, while standing on Canal street. The bolt was attracted by the steel rod of her umbrella. She was taken to a hospital, where it was found that she was badly burned about the abdomen, right leg, both wrists, nose and right check, and that she was suffering from shock. Radiating downward from the upper part of the breast were half a dozen marks scared In the skin,' while around each thigh and extending to the knee were a series of rings. Round each wrist, and not unlike a bracelet tattooed in the skin, were two rings. Her clothing was untouched. For nearly an hour after her admittance to the hospital both her legs were paralyzed, but she recovered the use of these members. The girl said that she did not have any pain at any time. The physicians do not believe she will recover and they are greatly surprised that she was not killed outright. Canal street was crowded at the time the bolt descended, and there was much excitement among the people. American Jersey Cattle Club. NEW YORK. May 3. The annual meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Club was held to-day in this city. K. A. Darling was re-elected president and Hiram Hitchcock treasurer. The president paid a special tribute to the memory of Colonel Waring, who helped to organize and was the first secretary. During the year endtd March 31, last, bulls were registered and 9,431 cows. This Is a decrease compared with the previous year. The falling off is attributed to the rules regarding pasture service. Directors to serve three years were chosen as follows: J. P.

Fair Trcntlier. OS Cents TYPHOID IN THE CAMPS SUBJECT DISCUSSED AT MEETING OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS. Volunteer Sargeoni Severely Criticised by Dr. V. C. Vaajrlin-Vlens of General Sternberg. WASHINGTON, May 3. The session of the Association of American Physicians, at the Arlington to-day, was marked by an Important paper on typhoid In the volunteer carnps by Dr. V. C. Vaughn, one of the board of surgeons appointed by Surgeon General Sternberg last summer to look Into this matter when the epidemic of typhoid fever was prevalent In the various army camps. The board made a very thorough study of the subject and Its report has been looked forward to as an authoritative work. The report is not yet completed, but Dr. Vaughn's paper was in the nature of an ad vance statement, with the sanction of Gen Sternberg, who was present at the meeting. Dr. Vaughn's paper was a severe ar ralgnment of the volunteer surgeons, and. incidentally, of the officers who were re sponsible f)r the policing of the great camps at Jacksonville, Chickamauga, Camp Aler and Montauk Point. The board vis Ited all these points and found that not only was there a great deal more of typhoid than was at first supposed, but that the surgeons, mostly of the volunteer class, were, from Ignorance or other motives, treating and re porting typhoid under the names of "per sistent malarial, "indigestion," "gastric fever" and "typho-malaria." Blood examt nation of many of the malaria patients failed to show the presence of malaria bacillus, but there was every indication of well marked typhoid. These patients were being treated with quinine and, naturally. either died or had to be sent to city hospl tals. wherp their disease was properly diag nosed. Thn board made an extra careful ex amlnatlon of the water supply of the various camps and found that the prevalence of typhoid could not be laid to impure water In any Mrge degree. The explanation. Dr. Vaughn said was in the disgustingly filthy condition f the camps, where the excreta of typhoid patients was strewn broadcast, with no apparent effort cither to sterilize or collect it so as to prevent Its spreading contagion to the remainder of the camp. The final report of the board will deal largely with sanitary measures for the governing of the camps and the best form of sterilizing apparatus to use In case of fever outbreaks. Surgeon General Sternberg, of the army, said it seemed certainly strange, after the lessons of the civil war. that our camps should have been Infected by typhoid which we knew so well. He had Issued a circular to all medical officers pointing out the dangeis In this regard and explaining how they might be avoided. General Sternberg referred to the appointment of volunteer medical army officers by the CJovernors of States, the former thereby becoming responsible for the health of our camps. The result has been unsatisfactory, it did seem to him to b Inconsistent that we should set ourselves up to show the Spaniards how to eradicate yellow fever from their cities, while ur camps are infected seriously with typhoid. He declared that any adverse conditions which prevailed at Montauk should not lx held against the regular army medical officers, few of whom were there. Dr. George Dock, of the University of Michigan. spcle of his investigations at the Sternberg general hospital. The misunderstanding regarding the typhoid and the overestimation of the effects of quinine form. Dr. Dock declared, the striking faults of the volunteer medical service. Most of tiie volunteer officers went to camp with the expectation of lighting malaria. In one regiment each man was provided with two h'Jndred grains of quinine anJ a three-ounce bottle of paregoric. The great bulk of supposed malarial cases were not malarial Infections at all. but many of the doctors, regardless of this, dosed their patients with thirty to forty grains of quinine each day.

The Italian Ministry has resigned. The resignation Is the sequel to a sccno In the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, in the course of a prolonged and animated discussion regarding the government's foreign policy the minister for foreign affairs. Admiral Canevaro, created a lively sensation by producing, ln response to the attacks on his policy at San-Mun bay, an official letter signed by Comte Benin Iongare, under secretary of state for foreign affairs in the Cabinet of Marquis DI Rudinl, and addressed to the then minister of marine, SIgnor Brln, requesting him to initiate some action that would secure for Italy a station in China, This letter showed that the leaders of the present opposition Initiated the policy which they are now criticising. Admiral Canevaro's action ln making public a secret document evoked sharp comment from Marquis Dl Rudinl, SIgnor Crlspi and other leading members of the Chamber of Deputies. SIgnor Crisp!, in the course of his protest, said: "We are giving with light hearts a sorry spectacle to Europe. I ask the chamber to cease this discussion." As he closed Signor Crispi was greeted with an extraordinary demonstration, several members rising and exclaiming, "He is our only man." Immediately on the opening of the Chamber of Deputies to-day General Pellieux, the premier and minister of the interior, arose and addressed an attentive house. He said that, In consequence of Interpellations touching the Chinese question, the government had been led to consider the gravity of the situation. The effect of yesterday's debate showed a large minority ln the Chamber of Deputies against the Ministry's action In China, which would be supported by only a weak majority. Therefore, the prime minister said, there could be no useful result from further discussion. Generel Pellieux said he wondered how a modest commercial initiative in China could justify fears of military expansion In Erythrea. The government, he said, could not consent to withdraw Italian warships from the Yellow sea, and therefore resigned, minister's statement was greeted Jby loud murmurs from the Leftists. General Pellieux concluded by announcing the resignation of the Cabinet. Adjournment of the house having been mowd, a number of deputies protested loudly the habit of ministers resigning on the eve of an adverse vote. Finally, ln the midst of considerable uproar the Chamber adjourned amid gteat excitement. King Humbert has reserved his decision relative to the resignation of the Ministry, but the Cabinet will remain In office for dispatch r.f current business. Count Vinci, the Italian charge d'affaires at Washington, had expected the retirement of the Italian (Cabinet. In view of recent advices from Rome and was not surprised at the Associated Press announcement of the change. He says it involves no grave Issue, foreign or domestic, although the future course of Italy ln t'hlna may be In doubt until permanent ministerial conditions ire established. The new Italian minister to China has left for hi post, and will reach Peking the latter part of this month, by which time it is probable definite plans will be matured. It Is understood that the occupation of San Mun bay, province of Cheklang. China, will take place Immediately, thus making It un fait accompli for the incoming premier. Late this evening a report is In circulation that General Pellieux has already received an informal mandate to reconstruct the Ministry. The Ministry which resigned to-day was constituted Juno 29, 1ST as follows: President of the council and minister of the Interior, Gen. Luigl Pellieux; minister of foreign affairs. Admiral Fellcle Napoleone Canevaro; minister of the treasury, Pietro Vacchelll; minister of finance, Paolo Carcano; minister of Justice and ecclesiastical affairs. Camlllo Finocchlaoro Aprlle; minister of war. Gen. Alessandro Aslnarl dl Sun Marsino; minister of marine. Admiral Giuseppe Palumbo; minister of commerce, industry and agriculture, Alesandro Fortls; minister of public Instruction, Prof. Guldo Baccelll; minister of public works, Pietro La Cave: minister of posts and telegraphs, Nunzlo Nasi. UNTRUTHFUL OFFICERS. French General Stan Responsible for FnkeM Evidence Against Dreyfus. PARIS, May 3. Slowly, but steadily, the net is closing around the French general staff ln the Dreyfus revision inquiry. Gen. Mercler, who was minister of war at the time Dreyfus was condemned, on being called upon by Mr. Freycinet, the present minister of war, to produce the report regarding the secret dossier which Lieut. Col. Du Paty do Clam testified he had sent to Mercler, replied that he had destroyed It, and he called on General Gonze as a witness to the truth of the statement. Untortunately for Mercler, General Gonze had already testified before the Court of Casatlon mat although Mercler had destroyed the original, he kept a copy. Another anti-Dreyfus argument has received Its deathblow. General Zurllnden. military governor of Paris, and others, while testifying before the Court of Cassation, attached great importance to the closing sentence of the bordereau, "1 am starting for the maneuvers," as proving tho guilt of Dreyfus and the innocence of Esterhazy. Inasmuch as the staff probationers were only notified on Aug. 20 that they would not be required to attend the maneuvers. It has now been proved that this notification was actually dated March 17. Therefore, Dreyfus could not have written "I am starting for the maneuvers" in the following August. It is rumored that It was Lieut. Col. Du Paty de Clam himself who communicated to Figaro the depositions made before the Court of Cassation. PARIS EXPOSITION SITE. Fortlon Allotted to Americans Transferred jlo Commissioner Peek. PARIS, May 3. The transfer of the exhibition site on the Quay d'Orsay, on which the American building will be erected, was made to the United States commissioner, Ferdinand W. Peck, this afternoon. The ceremony, which was a simple one, took place In tho presence of Alfred PIcard, commissary general of the exposition, and others. Immediately after the transfer the stars and stripes were hoisted over the site. M. ricard. in a brief address, transferred the site of the American building, told Mr. Peck that he was happy to see the United Statfs conquer, if only temporarily, territory of France. He was Haltered to be permitted to preside at a ceremony which, he believed, would lead to the tightening of the bind.-" of friendship and sisterhood that united the two great republics. He addfd that he heped sincerely that the United 'states would show France and the world what they Mill had to learn and where they must go to acquire the knowledge. M. licard concluded by expressing the hope that Americans would flock to exhibition and contribute largely to Its success. The site was then marked by four American flags. A curious coincidence was that the Spanish sites, which were the only others yet occupied, were taken possession of by the commissioners of that country this morning, and their flags are the only ones waving side by side with the tars and stripes. Spain Hope Claim Will De raid. MADRID, May 3. The Cabinet council today decided to devote 5,000,000 pesetas to Im

proving the fortifications ln the Canary islands. Special consideration was given to a dispatch from General RIos, Spain's principal military representative In the Philippines, expressing his belief that the Washington government will show a conciliatory attitude regarding Spain's claims to the large sums of money the Americans have confiscated in the Philippines, and the council decided that the Spanish financial commission should remain in Manila to deal with the sums to be restored. The minister of finance. Marquis Vlllaverde, read the budget proposals. Prince Sues for an Annuity. VIENNA, May 3. The Volks Zeitung today says that Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria has commenced suit against his father-in-law, the Duke of Parma, for refusing since the death of Princess Marie, wife of Prince Ferdinand, to pay the annuity fixed in the marriage contract on the ground that Prince Ferdinand had violated tho contract by having Prince Boris, his son, baptized into th Orthodox Church.

Slaughtered by All Dinar. CAIRO, Egypt. May 3. Ibrham All, whom General Lord Kitchener sent upon a mission to Ibrham's uncle, the Sultan of Darfour, has returned to Cairo. He found upon reaching Darfour that hl3 uncle had been dethroned by All Dinar. The latter, on the appearance of Ibrham All, turned out with his troops and routed the escort of General Lord Kitchener's envoy, numbering 150, of whom 1U0 were killed. France Has Not Grabbed Slam. PARIS, May 2. A semi-official note issued to-day declares that the alleged signing of an agreement by which Slam was said to have ceded to France the province of Luang Prabang, in the northeastern part of the kingdom of Slam, Is unfounded. Although communications have been passing between tho two governments with a view to the removal of all .friction, no agreement whatever has been reached. The Kaiser nt Strasburfr. STRASBURG. May 3. Emperor William and the Empress of Germany arrived here this morning. They were received at the railway station by the Governor-general of Alsace-Loraine, Prince IIohenlohe-Langen-burg, and the principal officials of the province. The city was profusely decorated with flags and thore was much animation in the streets. Afrlcnns Kill Fifty Porters. CAPE TOWN, May 3. Word has been received here that a caravan under the command of two Europeans was recently attacked near the headwaters of Rovuma river, cast of Lake Nyassa, the tribesmen killing fifty porters and capturing all the goods. The Europeans reached Chickla fort after wandering through three days in the bush. Valet Devoured by a Shark. LONDON, May 3. A dispatch from Nice says that the valet of Earl of Strathmore and KInghorne while bathing at Bordlghera, r.ear Montecanlo, was devoured by a shark. The tragedy occurred ln the presence of a crowd. of onlookers, who were unable to rescue the victim. Cable Notes. The fiftieth birthday of Baron Von Buelow, the imperial minister for foreign affairs. w;ts the subject of sympathetic articles in Vie newspapers of Berlin yesterday. In the presence cf a large number of German pilgrims, who are at present making u tour of Palestine, the first divine services ever conducted on the Dorinitlon hill In Jerusalem were held Sunday. Salutations were transmitted by the worshipers to Emperor William. The Berlin Tageblatt. commenting on news of the American government's pleasant reception of the German insurance commissioners, says: "We hope that other political economic differences between Germany and the United States will also be regulated in the same conciliatory spirit." MONUMENT DEDICATED. KentucklanM Who Wore Roth the Dlue and the (irny Remembered. CHATTANOOGA. May 3. The beautiful granite monument erected by the State of Kentucky ln Chlckamanga Park was dedicated this afternoon with imposing ceremonies. At noon Governor Bradley, his staff and other prominent Kentucklans left the city for the park, and promptly at 2 o'clock the exercises began. The preliminary portion of the programme consisted of music, one of the numbers being "My Old Kentucky Home," and an Impressive Invocation. MaJ. Thomas II. Hays, of the Kentucky commission, ln an eloquent address, then formally tendered the monument to Governor Bradley. Following this address Miss Christine Bradley,',' .'the Governor's beautiful daughter, gracefully unveiled the shaft. Govtrnor Bradley next formally accepted the monument and transferred It to the government. The Governor delivered an address, cf which the concluding paragraphs aro here given: "The monument dedicated to-day may, In the rush of years, crumble and fall into dust, but around the summits of Lookout and Missionary Ridge, like gathering mists, shall remain forever the memories of these historic fields, and In every he-art shall be a monument of love, and strength, and patriotism, which will perpetuate through all coming time the glories of that great conflict. "Looking Into the future, may not the fond hope bo Indulged that In the end our country may in all things be deliberate, just and wise that our flag may wave in triumph, feared by tyrants, In every land and on every sea? That beneath Its folds shall gather the oppressed of every clime, and the slave struggling beneath the rod of oppression feel his chains grow lighter, his heart leap with Joy and hall its colors as a deliverance? That nations which have been bitten by the serpent of rapacity and conquest shall look upon Its- folds and te healed, as those who with faith looked upon the brazen serpent that, was lifted un ln the wilderness? God grant that ours shall be the victory of enlightenment and liberty, the triumph of right over might, of justice over injustice, of humanity over cruelty and oppression, until empires shall have passed away and the nations of earth become one." The monument was accepted for the government by Gen. H. V. Boynton, president of the Chlckamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park Commission. Following Gen. Boynton's address the band played "The Star-spangled Banner," amid the Waving of flags and the cheering of the assembled throng, and the exercises ended. The monument, which is one of the handsomest at Chickamauga, was erected to the memory of the Kentucklans who wore both the blue and the gray, and both sides are equally represented in the Inscriptions. The Kentucky party returned home to-night. WILL NOT MARRY. Denial of the Story that Mrs. Child and Gen. Wheeler Were to Wed. PHILADELPHIA. May 3.-The Ledger vill to-morrow make an authoritative denial of the widely published statement that a marriage was contemplated between Mrs. George W. Childs and Gen. Joseph Wheeler. The denial of the truth of the report was made to-day by Mrs. Chllds to Major J. M. Carson, the Washington correspondent of the Ledger, who telegraphs his paper as follows: "Several weeks ago a story was given wide publicity through the newspapers to the effect that marriage was contemplated between Mrs. George W. Chllds, of this city, formerly of Philadelphia, and Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama. Th'i publication cause.! Mrs. Chllds much annoyance, Vut she refrained from making any public denial from a mistaken belief that the absence of any foundation for the stcry would cause it to pass In tho public mind and from an aversion to adding to the publicity which a denial would bring. "The revival of the mischievous btory embellished with details that have been Invented to give It plausibility, has brought additional annojance and distress to Mrs. Chllds and has Induced her to reconsider the determination not to notice the false report. In a conversation with the Ledger correspondent this afternoon Mrs. Chllds, after expressing surprise at the original story and Indignation at the persistence with which it has been adhered to, requested that the fullest and broadest denial be given In the Ledger. Thera was not at any time the slightest foundation for the etory or Justification for its publication."

C1IAXCE FOR TROIBLE. Governor of Arkmunn Threaten to Arrest Imported Miners. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 3. Governor Jones has been Informed of a movement to bring into the coal-mlnlng district an aimed body of men to take the places of the strikers. He has given Instructions to State authorities to summon every able-bodied man ln Sebastian county, if necessary, to enforce the injunction of Judge Rowe. All such armed men are to be met at the State line and placed under arrest, as aro also those who supply the arms. Mine operators will also be arrested by State authorities when they attempt to bring in armed laborers under the protection of deputy marshals. The injunctions Issued by the state and federal courts are In direct conflict, and the Governor regards the situation as critical. He is determined that the writ of the State court shall be carried out, and, if necessary, will go to the mining district in persoL and direct the carrying out of the court's order, which he believes to be the only way ln which bloodshed can be avoided. The strikers are armed, and a pangulr.ary conflict Is said to be inevitable if nonunion men are imported. ;hain siiovklers strike. No Improvement ln the Situation at MnfTnlo Venneln Cannot Unload.

The first arrival this season was on April 2. and up to date It is estimated that but about 6,0u0.000 bushels have reached Buffalo. This afternoon there were forty-eight grain-laden vessels in the harbor. As time passes it becomes more and more apparent that the force of men now employed by the contractors as grain shovelers Is not sufficient to relieve the congestion, which is rapidly assuming alarming proportions. Only threo elevators were at work this afternoon. Mr. Conners, the contractor, asserts that he had five hundred men at work, but dock men who are disinterested say there were less than om hundred. The owners of elevators have decided not to run their houses at niht until further notice. It is the first time in years that the elevators have been closed down during the night, and only aggravates the situation, so far as the Interests of the vessel owners are concerned. William Kennedy, who was shot on the dock yesterday, is still in a critical condition. McNamara, who was beaten last night, is still unconscious. Eight scoopers were . arrested to-day for flourishing revolvers near the Exchange elevator. Imported Minern Seared. DES MOINES, la.. May 3.
