San Francisco, June 16.—The steamer City of Sydney, from Australia, arrived with Sydney dates of May 81, and Auckland, New Zealand, df May 36. The Auckland paperB contain accounts of the arrest on May 5 of Walter H. Lennox Maxwell, alias Thfeodore Cecil Dauguire, charged with having murdered Charles A. Preller, ip St Louis, April 6. The arrost was made by United States Consul Gamble, who received a telegram from the chief of police of- St. Louis, with instructions to that effect. Two days later Consul Gamble received a telegram from the United States secretary of state authorizing him to make the arrest. Two detectives boarded the steamer at Tiritirt The purser, in reply to their questions, stated that there was a man among tho steerage passengers answering Maxwell's description. The man was summoned on deck and the first question asked him was whother he was a physician. He promptly replied that he was not, but was a native of France and an officer of the French army. The detectives informed him that they had a warrant for his arrest and would have to take him into custody. at Auckland. GLADSTONE STILL CHEERED BY LON- N*w York, June lfi.—The suit of Ralph Bagaley, of Pittsburg, against the South Pennsylvania Railroad syndicate, the A merican Construction company and the South Penmylvania Railroad company, come; up before Chief Judge Sedgwick in the Supreme court. Among the defendants arc W. K. Vanderbilt, W. H. Vanderbilt, F. B. GoweH D. O. Mills, O. H. Payne, W. C. Whitney, S. B. Elkins, J. A. Hutchinson, J. D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller and Abraham S. Hewitt. The real plaintiff iB said to be the Pennsylvania Railroad company.In September, 1883, about thirty gentlemen formed what is known as the South Pennsylvania railroad, and contracted to pay in $15,000,000 in installments not exceeding 5 per cent per month, of which $500,000 was to be devoted to the purchase of the South Pennsylvania railroad and the balance to the completion of the road west from Harris burg, Pa. It was provided that when 20 per cent, of the subscription had been paid in, each subscriber should, upon future installments, receive bonds to the amount of his call, the stock being reserved until the entire subscription had been paid in. When the 20 per cent had been paid in it was decided to postpone the distribution of the bonds and stocks as agreed. To this Mr. Bagaley objected, and demanded his bonds when next he tendered his money. The syndicate refueod to accept the money or deliver the bonds, and Mr. Bagaley thereupon brought suit to test the validity of the issue of stock and bonds.

Bttrrov, June IB.—"PHn" White, the notorious (windier urea tad here, is a short maA ' about 00 yean old, with gray moustache. He is wanted in New York to answer for swindling A. H. Dolliver, a saloon keeper, at No. 29 Sixth avenue, out of •1,0901 On Dec. 81, White engaged a room over Dolliver's saloon. Shortly after his arrival ho represented to Dolliver that he owned a large amount of land in the West, and that be needed $1,000 to help oarry out the -work on it. White finally induced Dolliver to loan him the money.. He then disappeared, and not until to-day did fnpr of the New York officers see him. As soon as Inspector Byrnes, of New York city, was informed of the swindle .he notified Inspector of this city to keep a lookout for White. Saturday last thetfrimctor ascertained that White was in this city. He at onoe notified Inspector Byrina. and that officer sent Detective Sergeant Rulaud to this city. About 10 o'clock the dffloers found White on Greene street, and be was arrested as a fugitive from justice trom New York city. Loudon, June 16. —There was a spasmodic renewal of political excitement caused by the reassembling of the house of commons. The scenes of last Friday were repeated, the Westminster district being again ■hrouged with people waiting to catch glimpses of thB prominent members. Strangely enough the defeated premier, whom, the "wild mob's million feet" kicked -Dut of office Just a week ago on a question of oineponce a barrel on beerj is still and more than ever the idol of the mob. When he amerged from the house, looking pale and careworn, he was greeted with shouts of applause. A crowd of several huudrod people ran after his carriage and cheored at in-» torvals. Mr. Gladstone settled bfcck in the cushions and stared straight ahead, but there was a complacent look in bis face, which seemed to show that the applause of the common people in his hour of supposed lefeat was music to his soul. Sir Stafford Northcote, who, as the coming chancellor of tlie exchequer will have more to say about the coming beer tax than any other man in England, came out a few minutes later and drove off unnoticed. New York, June 16.—The Pun sirs: Very many oi those who are informed aj to Gfen. Grant's actual condition look upon the plan of removing him from his comfortable home with grave misgivings. That his life is now hanging by a very slender thread there is little doubt among them. His throat, in one aspect, was worse last night than it ever was before. • Col. Fred Grant told a reporter last evening that his father had totally lost the power of speech. He is still able to articulate faintly, but even those most aceustomed to his mode of speech cannot make out what he says. Except at very brief intervals, when his throat was temporarily clogged with mucus, this is something that has never happened before, and it is a development of the past twenty-four hours. It is said by those who are well informed that his mouth can no longer be opened sufficiently wide to enable the physicians to make an ocular examination, and when they feel of the affected-parts they give the par tient such excruciating pain that they refrain from it as mnch as possible. Second race—Selling parse, $500; $100 tx second; all ages; 1 1-16 miles. Whizgip first, Taxgather second, Adventurer third. Time, 1:52%. Mutuals paid $8.50 on winner, $6.60 place. Is Consumption Curable ? Third . race—Was a purse of $500; £ 1001C second; for 2-year-olls; five furlongs. Primrose first, King of Norfolk second, Jin- Gray third. Time,. 1:05 Mutuals pan, $14.20 on winner; 46.60 tor place. An annual death rate of nearly one hundred thousand, by Consumption in the United States gives, so far as the medical profession is concerned, a most emphatic and disheartening negative to this question. But under the now Vitalizing treatment by Compound Oxygen, quite as emphatic an affirmative can be declared. This treatment has inaugurated a' new era in the healing art. Wo are speaking within the limits of facts when we sav that during the past thirteen years in thousands of cases the progress of Consumption has been arrested by its use, and hundreds of lives saved. In many instances were it seemed that the patient could not survive for more than a few days or a few weeks, the vital forcos have rallied, and there has been a slow but sure remrn to bettor health.

Fourth race—Purse $500; $100 to second; all ages; mile and a quarter Clay Pate first, Grlsmer second, Fattier John third. Time, 2:17. Mutuals paid $6.10 for winner; $6.5J for place. Maxwell appeared to be disconcerted, but ecovered his composure while the officers were handcuffing him, coolly remarking chat the whole matter was a mistake, which would be quickly explained away. On May 5 he was brought into the police court and charges against him read. The crown solicitor appealed for the prosecution, and Messrs. Napier and Burton for the defense. The latter claimed that the court bad no jurisdiction, and after some argument the case was remanded to the 7th, after which it was again remanded to the 11th. Fifth race—Purse $500; $100 to sccond; all ages; six furlongs. Jim Douglas first, Belle Pate second, Pat Dennis third. Time, 1:18. No mutual sold. roolftelling Kesumed at Coney bland. In outward appearance, when clothed and in his easy chair, with wraps about him, the general has not very greatly changed. His face has aged, it is true, and is seamed with wrinkles, but it rotains to a great degree its natural fulness. But aside from this, he is but a shadow of himself. His body is wasted almost to a skeleton, and the bones of his hands and wrists show through the tightly drawn skin with the ghastly distinctness of a consumptive's. That which most shocks those who of late have seen the general is the great malignant-looking swelling which has appeared ott his neck under his right ear. It has of late grown with great rapidity, and is now as big as a man's two fists put together. It is kept concealed most of the time by wraps about the general's throat. New York, June 16.—Poolselling and bookmaking was resumed at the Coney island race track without interference. White Is rcsrarded by the polioe of this country and Europe an ooufit thS cleverest of adventurers. He mi born In the town of WmUiprafiekL Vt. Ho left there at an early age, and *®nt to Montpelier, where he "learned the trade of a printer. He did not work at the business however, but came to tMn city, where ho fobnd a situation on The Atlas. Some Irregular!tie* about money matters threw him out of that situation, and he went to Bangor. He returned to this city again soon after. He went to New Yorlr about 1860 and entered into the manufacture of Venetian blinds. Then he went into the brokerage business. He bought patents, contracted for a largo account on real estate, dealt In dry goods and made a specialty of jewelry. He founded the firm of Winn, Harkins & White, and gave up the business after accumulating a good deal of money. He lived in handsome style in Fifth avenue. Afterward he began to buy gold dust from returned Calltornians. He was arrested because of curious transactions, but escaped and returned to his Vermont home. In that state he talked of his great wealth. He bought real estate on all bands, paying for it in notes. He mortgaged the property, borrowed money, and flnaly turning everything into cash returned to New York. Troubles multiply on the hands of the Conservative cabinet makers. Lord Salisbury is groping his way along in a baiting, hesitating manner, and is apparently pleased with any pretext for postponing actum. Now it is the coming of the queen which is awaited. Her majesty is expected at Windsor castle to-morrow, when she will confer with Lord Salisbury and Sir Stafford Northcote, and the names of the new ministry will probably be announced at the reassembling of the house next Friday. The interual dissensions of the party are still the cause of the half-hcarteJ, vacillating conduct of the Conservative leader. Even now many prominent Conservatives are begging Lord Salisbury to decline office. They are the fossils of the party, who see£othlug but the figures which show the Conservatives to be in .a minority in the house and who have little knowledge and less faith regarding strokes Cff political genius, which reverse majorities or ren ler them subservient. Other advisers favor the acceptance of office and the disposal of the Irish bugbear by giving Ireland some scheme of responsible self-government while maintaining imperial control. This plan, however, is bitterly opposed by the Conservative members for the north of Ireland, and, by common party courtesy, their views are entitled to precedence. They want coercion, pure and simple, and an extension of the Irish crimes act for three vearB from September 1. Their opponents, lei by Lord Randolph Churchill, are equally emphatic in their demand that the crimes act shall be allowed to lapse. This course they,say would bind the Parnellitee to t heir party and give the n a well-disciplined, compact corps of allies on all home subjects of legislation, an I they declare that it would be political suicide for a party now in the minority to.overlook such a consideration. The subject, however, is one that involves teuds, both civil and religious, of such intensity and long standing that calm reasoning is swept away by gusts of passion and the delicate balancing of majorities becomes as impossible as a courteous polemic in the midst of a Newry riot. This complication gives rise to renewed rumors of a split in the Conservative cainp, and, in the absence of a leader powerful enough and autocratic enough to throttle the disputants, or at least prevent them from parading their quarrels, such rumors are very credible. A formidable array of ccunsel has been secured on both sides; the retainers, it is said, a re $25,000. The first race was for maidens of all ages over three-quarters of a mile—Lucy Lewis first, Brutou second, Tumeric third, lime, 1:"*. The second race was a selling purse of one mile—Dizzy Blonde first, Disturbance second, Frank E. third. Time, 1:4!% On that day the case was brought up. Consul Gamble was the first witness called. He testified on behalf of the prosecution as to various articles found in Maxwell's trunk, which, among other things, contained two embroidered handkerchiefs marked "C. A. P.," and a shirt with two large spots of blood on the tail. In reply to questions as to bow the articles not bearing the initials of his name had come into his possession, Maxwell said they had been given to him in San Francisco by a man named Robinson. THE MOST POWERFUL VESSEL AFLOAT Great Britain Adds to Her Navy—Sketch of the Marine Leviathan. The third race was a selling, purse of one mile—Kiohba first, Mike'-s Pride second, Emma llanley, third. Time, 1:44D^. Loudon, June 16.—The British navy has received an'important addition in the shape of the twin-screw armor-belted ram Ben bow, which was launched from the slip of the Thames Iron Works and Shipbuilding company. The ceremony of christening was performed by Mrs. Gladstone. i The fourth race was for the Brooklyn stakes over one mile and a quarter—Royal Arch first, Paliuurus second, Jennings third. Time, 2:18. The filth race was for all ages over one mile and an eighth—Islette first. Tattler second, Bark ley, third. Time, 1:58^. The Benbow is by far the most powerful ironclad ailoat; over 10,000 tons of metal have been used in her construction. She ii built entirely of steel. Even her armor plates, which are eighteen inches thick, have a facing of six inches of chilled steel, and many of them are of the weight of ten tons. Of course Gen. Grant's household are better able to Judge than anybody else what.is prudent and what is imprudent for him to de, but, notwithstanding their decision that it is safe to make the experiment they are going to make, there is, among many who have closely watched his case from the commencement, a feeling of very grave anxiety as to the result. They doubt whether the mountain air will suit Gen. Grant. TOLEDO'S DOUBLE TRAGEDY. The sixth event was a hurdle race for light welter weights over five hurdles, one mile and a quarter—Buckra first, Fred B. second, Kcquador third. Time, 2:21. A Man Cuts His Wife's Throat and then Tolkdo, June 16.—This city was startled by a most terrible crime, which is supposed to have been committed about 2 a. m., but was not discover*-d until nearly 6 o'clock, when Mrs. "Billy" Brown, wife of a saloon keeper and sister of Mrs. Wakelee, residing across the street from the scene of the murder, not seeing any of the family crossed over to see what was the matter. Finding the house locked she raised a window and proceeded to the bedroom. She found Mr. and Mrs. Wakelee lying on the floor, near the foot of the bed, she having her throat cut from ear to ear with a razor, and he with two bullet holes in the region of the heart. Commits Suicide. The Benbow U 830 feet long, 68 feet 6 inches beam, 37 feet deep and has a displacement of 10,000 tons. Her engines are 0,600 horse power and will, it is estimated, give her a speed of 17% knots per hour, making her not only the most powerful but the fastest armor clad afloat. Her armament is to consist of two 110 tons steel guns, which will Are a projectile weighing 2,008 pounds, 16% inches in diameter and propelled by the enormous charge of 900 pounds of powder. She will also have 10 6-incb rifled breech loading guns, 12 6-pounder, quick firing guns, 10 4-barrel 1-inch machine guns and 4 6-barrel .46-inch machine guns. She is also fitted for torpedoes, having t aperatures. for their discharge. Bah Francisco, June 16.— The Alta publishes an interview with the son of the United States consul at Sydney, in which he states It is current rumor in Sydney that Hanlan had a large sum wagered on himself to beat Beach, but in a spurt on the river a few days before the race, Beach proved himself to be the superior oarsman. Hanlan then withdrew all his bete, but give his friends the same chance. This caused much bad feeling, and the general impression among sporting men in Australia is that Hanlau could outrow Beach if he would Ribjec : himself to a rigid course of training instead ol living a life of ease at the club. Was Hanlan Crooked? Mt. McGregor is a southern projection of the Adirondack! about twelve miles from Saratoga. It is 1,100 feet above the sea level, and 1,000 feet above the plain on which Saratoga is built. Around it on all sides the country spreads away 'in great swelling billows, extending to the dark wall of the Green mountains on the east, and to the peaks and massive green shoulders of tile on the north. Over its summit, on the very crest of which Gen. Grant is to live, gray chilly mists are so frequently trailing that for many consecutive days, when it may be hot down in Saratoga Delow, on Mt. McCregor people are sitting around crackling wood fires or going about in ovorcoat In unfavorable seasons this dreary weather so continuously prevails that the summer residents are glad to pack their trunks and trundle down the steep, corkscrew-like railroad to Saratoga 6 POWDER i He soon after paid this city another short visit, and in two weeks be made $40,000. He was naxt heard of in Louisiana, where he was buv in politics. He was chosen a supervtsbr of two parishes, and for manipulating thb returns which secured the election of Governor Packard he was made state printer. He established a chicken farm on an feland off the Texas coast, and had raised about 10,000 fowls when a flood swept them away,'and while himself narrowly escaped drowning. He then went to Kansas City and opened a Urge dry goods store, buying goods to the amount of $275,000 from New England and New York parties. He shipped the goods to various cities, where he had them sold at auction. Having exhausted all his we«tera chances he again returned to the Hub after making the acquaintance of a prominent business man, while he obtaimed Don Win $16,000. He represented to the Bostonian that he had on deposit $300,000 with the Express company as a trust pending certain suits in Kansas and Nebraska. Before leaving Boston he won $6,000 in gambling one night He fled to Charleston, 8. C., where he was arrested, but waa released. He went to New York, where he was again arrested at the request of the Boston authorities. He was brought to this city and placed in Charles street jail. He was later taken to Kansas city to answer the charge of swindling Boston parties put of $176,000. He was sentenced to two years in state prison. In 1881 be called at the residence of William L Wall, whom he Jiad robbed of $30,000 in 1875, when Hall was one of the landlords of the Lovejoy hotel. Although Hall had not seen White since that worthy' ran away with the money, he recognised hhn K" Immediately. White professed sincere repentance for his knavery, and promised repeatedly to mo-e than make good what he had taken. Hall's crdullty, waa not shaken even when White said fiat his property was so tiod up that he oould not pay the $30,000 immediately, and needed $6,000 in cash to reuder bis assets available in the future. White proposed to give to Hall, on condition of the money being loaned, an envelope addressed to Hon. Luther R. Kendall, care of the president of the Adams Express company, which, he said, contained collateral for the proposed loan. Hall signed an agreement to deliver the envelope, unopened to its address on or before August 1, on payment of $1,200. - On the strength of the collateral supposed to be contained in the anvd4De, Hall lent White $2,500, and promised to give hi'm the rest of the #6,000. Pleased with the prospect of receiving back his long lost $30,000 Hall told his wife what he had done. The latter notified ex-Superintendent Walling, w ho opened the package. It contained about $800 ill confederate money. White was arretted and convicted. He was sentenced to three year* in state prison and to pay a fine of $870. The fine was afterward taken off. Everthing shows that Wakelee committed the double crime. Wakelee had always been considered a sober and industrious man, but last night was seen around Brown's place and was slightly intoxicated. It is supposed jealousy was the cause of the tragedy. He left two letters, one to his mother-in-law, containing $90 to pay funeral expenses,. The words, "Dear old mother, do not grieve; it is better thus," were in both letters. At the end of one be exclaimed: "Oh, Lucy, why did you do it I" He said: "I have always'been true to her." They had no children. The ceremony of launching was attended by a large number of distinguished persons, including many ladies,-whoee brilliant summer costumes showed to delightful effect under the rays of the warm June sun.

Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 wall St., N. Y. The Iron Workers Winning. Pittsbubq, June 16.—The general opinion in iron circles is that the agreement arrived at between the firm of Oliver Bros. & Phillips offers a way oat of the old rail difficulties, and will finally be the basis upon which the strike will be settled. In connection with the move made by the Olivers, numerous additional facts are brought to Mm surface. The Olivers have been urging peaoe measures ever since the beginning at the contest, and had demanded representation on the conference committee. The other manufacturers, knowing the sentiments of the firm, used every effort to keep them out. Of course nothing has been spared to surround ihe general with everything to promote his comfort. He will live in Mr. Joseph W. Drexel's oottage, a short distance from the railway station on the summit of the mountain, and for weeks back people have baen laboring at it and studying to make it all that could be desired for an invalid. Should he hold his own until Aug. 1, it is the intention to remove him from Mt. McGregor to the Hotel Kaaterskill, in the mountains further south.

Clbvuland, June 16.—Several months ago the medical college building, corner of Erie and St. Clair streets, was "torn down to make room for a new and more handsome building. While workmen were engaged in excavating for the basement of the new building, they suddenly struck a vat or tank containing the entrails and bones of six human bodies. Further search was rewarded uy the discovery of three more vats, each containing the remains of six bodies. While digging in the saad one of the workmen uncovered the decayed body of a man which was still enveloped in half rptten clothes. The body was again covered up and will be removed. The vats were covered by only about a foot of earth, and- it is said contained the collegg subjects of the past forty years. The stench in the vicinity of the building was almost unbearable; passers-by holding their noses and many almost fainting. There is great indignation among the residen tS of that part of the city. New York.....1 3001000 0—5 Providence....0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0— 3 There has certainly never been a time in the history of the Conservative party when it was so sadly in need of a leader as now. "Oh, tor an hour of Disraeli 1" is now a hackneyed expression at the Carlton club; but It is only hackneyed because it ha-i been heartily uttered so many times during the past week in utter desperation. Lord Salisbury has pottered for seven days over the acceptance of office, and having at last nerved himself up to accept ng is as far as ever from formulating a policy or plans for even a defensive campaign. No one doubts that Lord Beaconsfleld, in similar circumstances, would have accepted at once with just enough apparent hesitation to make it certain that the demand upon him was imperative and his dmty absolute. He would not only have accepted office, be would have seized it with a firmness of grasp that would havo left no room for doubt as to who was master. Many days before this he would have been out with a ringing address to the country which would have put tba Liberal* hopelessly in the wrong, captured the popular heart and paved the way for the condoning of any future mlsatepe by showinj what a legacy of chaos had been inherited. The' time between now and the general election would be usefully employed in bombarding the Liberals with the missiles with which their blunders have plentifully stored the Tory arsenal, administrative detail would bo kept in the background, and dirty linen of Tory wear would be washed in the inmost recesses of Tory privacy.

It seems that the Amalgamated association held their ground with the exception of a change in the old rail clause accepted by the Olivers. This the manufacturers refused at once. The employers finally conceded the bar and guide mill claims, and accepted the Amalgamated terms for boiling swarth. The indications are that Wilson, Walker & Co., and Painter's mills will sign the scale, and that Jones & Mclaughlins will also sign and resume work on Thursday.

How Tubs Editors Manage Thing* dame between St. Louis (League) and Buffalo postponed on account of ra.u. At Philadelphia: Houston, Tex., June 16.—J. L. Watson, manager of The Houston Post, demandod an apology or satisfaction from J. H. Bailey, editor of The Evening Herald. Bailey declined to apologize, and appointed Cyrus W. Oberly, correspondent of The Galveston News to confer with Dr. 8. E. Young, tor of The Post. Bailey and his Beconi decided that if an amicable settlement was not reached a fight with forty-two calibre six shooters should take placa just across the Texas state line in Louisiana, distance twenty paces, fire and advance until the chambers are exhausted or a man fell. The trouble originated in a reference by a paper called The Echo to the noted Amos article that caused a damage suit by Watsoa against the old Post. Watson and the editor of The Echo had a street fight. In commenting on it The Herald alluded to Watson's connection with the breaking open of a letter which belonged to The Chronicle. The difficulty was brought to a termination by the okl Chronicle force signing a paper declaring their belief in the innocence of Wataoh. Based upon this paper, furnished by Watson's second, Bailey withdrew the obnoxious paragraphs. Bailey is the son of W. H. Bailey, ex-attorney general of North Carolina, and recently a law partner of United States Senator Vance.

President Cleveland's Generosity.
