Lom.o.v, April 28. The Tall Mall
Gazette state that on the day the Irish
home-rule bill passed to a second read
ing Willian Townsend, the man under
arrest on the nominal charge of having
discharged a revolver unlawfully in a
public place, but really on suspicion of
having intended to assassinate Glad
stone, lay in wait for Gladstone' de
parture from hi residence, with the full
purpose of murdering the premier.
Townsend, armed with a loaded revolver,
deliberately prepared to shoot Gladstone
as soon a he came within reach. When
Gladstone came out of hi residence,
and the would-be assassin saw him, hie
purpose weakened for a peculiar reason
thu venerable appearance of the prem
ier reminded Townsend of hi own
father' appearance on his death bed.
The pistol elipped from the finger of
the Intending assassin, and he rushed
into the park and sank on a bench and
burst into tears. It is asserted that
Townsend made hi way into the central
hall of the house of commons on the
same night and rigorously denounced
the home-rule bill.

state department that the new Hawaiian

There are several reason, however, why
this outcome now seem les likely than
it did a month ago. Notwithstanding
the fact that Commissioner Blount's ac
tion have been approved by tlie admin
istration, the president is not blind to
the fact that certain things he ha done,
notably the hauling dow n of the flag,
have been received in thia country with
disfavor. The president realize also
that a commissisner appointed to assist
in nettling a controversy between two
parties in a foreign nation can hardly
hope to be iersona grata to all factions,
after the settlement Is effected.

Chicago, May 1. Special to The

pervades. These
things counted for
nothing, though,
with people who
were early astir.

of carriages containing President Cleve

had already assembled.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the opening
ceremonies began. After the prelim
inary exercises Director General Davi.
made the opening address. He then
presented President Cleveland, who
made a brief address, at the conclusion
of which he touched the button of the
golden key, which set the machinery in
motion, and the four hundredth anni
versary of Columbus' great achlevmcnt
was in full motion.
Nearly every building constructed by
the exposition proper in the great White
City is practically completed, and
while confusion still
reigns in most of
the structures, it ia
in the matter of the
installation of the
exhibits, and not a
delay w hich can be
attributed to any
failure of the con-
etruction depart
ment. The mines f
and minim? build- Hbh.T
is simply a wilderness of boxes, unfin
ished booth and unpacked exhibits. It
will be a month before the building is
in proper order. Throughout the entire
building there is but one exhibit in
readiness, and that is from the farthest
end of the earth, New South Wales.
In the art gallery some of the exhibits
are in excellent shape, notably thoee of
Great Britain and Germany. One
trouble w ith tlie gallery of fine arts is
that the building itself ia not aa yet fin
ished. Some of the men in charge of
the exhibita say they will not unpack
their stuir until the roof ha been en
tirely finished.

President Cleveland and the duke of
Veragua arrived Saturday. The presi
dent Bought all the seclusion possible,
and departed somewhat from the pro
gramme by taking a hurried visit, in
company with hiscabinet, to the world's
fair grounds. The duke placed himself
entirely at the disposal of hia hosts and
was the recipient of great attention all
day, responding invariably with courtesy
and grace.
Soon after his arrival at the hotel Mr.
Cleveland received adelegation of young
girls, representing the Badge-Makers'
Union, who were anxious to present to
the chief magistrate a badge made by
their artistic fingers. The emblem was
duly presented and graciously accepted,
and the young women retired. I in
mediately after lunch the president and
hiscabinet, accompanied by President
Higginbotham and other world's fair of
ficials took carriage and drove to the
white city for the purpose of having a
private view of the grounds and build
ings. This evening President Cleveland,
Secretaries Carlisle, Herbert and Mor
ton, attended the theater as guests of
Mr. Higginbotham, viewing "America,"
an historical allegory depicting tlie prin
cipal events of American history.
A delegation of city officials, headed
by Mayor Harrison, welcomed the duke
in the name of Chicago in the large re
ception-room of the Lexington hotel,
which was appropriately decorated in
honor of the occasion. Aa the duke en
tered one end of the long room the
mayor and party entered the other.
The mayor advanced, and In a brief
speech presented a costly casket to the
duke, containing theaddressof welcome,
handsomely engrossed and illuminated
on parchment, and a set of silver keys.
The mayor also presented the duke, on
behalf of the city council, w itli a beauti
ful, golden key, on which was inscribed
"Don Cristovar Colon," Btating, as he
did so, that it was a key to the city.
The duke in accepting these testimonials,
bowed and in a low tone responded in
English aa follows :
"When I received the invitation to at-
tend the opening of tlie world's Colum
bian exposition I did not realize how
many surprises were awaiting me in this
mi 11 try. In landing on tlie continent
discovered by my illustrious ancestor my
leart was full of emotion, and 1 feared
that my personal conditions were not so
great as such a memory required, but
now in tlie midst of you I feel that such
great proofa of sympathy give me
strength to resnond to the great honor
Chicago confers upon me the freedom
f a city that in 20 year has grown
greater than the greatest city in the
world, and which on this occasion com
memorates the wonderful discovery and
honors my ancestry ami myself. I leg
you to express my gratefulness to Chi
cago, and with all my heart I express
mv thanlss for such a cordial welcome."
Beneath leaden skies, Pennsylvania's
choicest relic, her old liberty bell, was
deposited within the wall of her Btate
building at Jackson park. During its
progress to the bark it was the recipient
of a continued ovation. It was escorted
by the highest officials of Philadelphia
and Chicago, surrounded by marching
troops, regular and citizen soldiery, and
saluted by the president of the nation
w hose birth it announced to the world.

B. Bellinger today filed hia commission,.

clerk of the court, Roswell B. Lamson,
and until hia death he will be a judge of
the United States court. It was for
merly the custom when a judge of the
United States court took the oath ot
office to mark tho occasion with an elab
orate show of ceremony. Such was tho
case when Judge Gilbert took bis seat
on tbe United States circuit bench. At
that time Judge Matthew P. Deady,
now deceased, delivered a brief, but im
pressive address of welcome to the new

lowever, no such programme was fol
lowed, owing to the absence of Judge
( iilliert, who is now in San Francisco,
sitting in the court of appeals.
