The Queen and Mr. Collier.
London, Augast 23.—Mr. Frank H.
Collier, of Chicago, was the recipient of a
private audience with the queen at the
Osborne house yesterday afternoon and
presented to her majesty the jubilee address
of the residents of Chicago of British
birth or parentage. In presenting
the address Mr. Collier said: “Yourmajesty,
in behalf of 50,000 people of the
city of Chicago of British birth or parentage,
it gives me great pleasure to present
to you this congratulatory jubilee
address. Though separated far from
our motherland, our hearts still beat
warmly with love and veneration for
England’s queen.” The queen replied:
“I thank you and the people you represent
for the address, and thank you personally
for your own kind words. My
answer to this address you will find in
this paper.” The queen then handed
Mr. Collier her formal reply to the address,
which is as follows: “I thank you
for the address you have presented to us.
Coming as it does from persons cf
English birth beyond the seas who retain
feelings of love.tor their mother country
and sympathy with her, I receive
it with peculiar satisfaction. That the
people of Chicago should have given
expression to these kind sentiments not
only toward the AngloSaxon race of
these realms but also toward myself is to
me a source of much gratification and
sustains me in the belief that the friendship
and good will which now exists between
the countries, and which 1 have
always endeavored to promote, are of a
real and enduring character.” Mr. Collier
was driven from Osborne House to
Cowes in one of the royal carriages and
returned to London later in the evening.
He was asked by a reporter last night
whether he kissed the .queen’s hand, and
replied,: “No, I did not, for the reason
that it would have been improper, as 1
am not a British subject, but am proud
to be an American citizen. I consider
the fact that the queen granted a private
audience for the purpose of presenting
theaddress,a complimentnot only to the
British residents of Chicago, but to the
citizens of the town generally.”
Boodle Evidence for Sale.
Chicago, August 23.—Some very
damaging evidence against boodle aldermen
is said to be in the possession of
a piratical employe of Sectional Underground
Electric Light Company, who
stole all the books of the company, and
row holds them for a ransom. The
books disappeared from the office of the
company last week, and it was shortly
given out that they would be returned
for a fair price from parties against
whom they contained incriminating evidence.
This evidence is said to consist
chiefly of the stubbooks of the
stock of the company, which was issued
to the boodlers. The stock was issued
in blank, but for the convenience of
reference the stubs were filled in in pencil,
with the actual names of aldermen
to whom the stock was issued, and the
stubs also show the way it was prorated.
After this bank stock had been in exis
tence long enough for the ordinance to
pass the city council the boodlers were
all informed that they could unload
their stock by applying to a certain
agent of the company on Dearborn
street. The stock was accordingly sent
around by ^personal factotums of the
boodlers and cas^i *aken in lieu of it.
The original stubbooks, together with
all other books of the company, were
preserved, however, and are now marketable
commodities.
The Coming Centennial.
Washington, August 23.—Philadelphians
are making elaborate preparations
to entertain the president, Mrs. Cleveland
and the members of the cabinet during
the centennial anniversary of the framing
and promulgation of the constitution on
the 15th, 16th and 17th days of next
month. It seems to be generally understood
that the president expects to be
present on that occasion, although nothing
definite can be ascertained upon the
subject, while the president remains at
Oakview and Coi. Lamont is absent. It
is also rumored that the presidential
party will be entertained at Spring Sharon,
Lake Beach, September 14. Spring
Lake is the fashionable resort patronized
principally by the wealthy Philadelphians.
A private letter received today states
that the pretty little village of Spring
Lake is turning itself almost upside down
in anticipation of the pleasure of entertaining
the president and his wife if only
for a single day. It is now definitely settied
that President Cleveland and most
of his cabinet will go to Philadelphia on
the 17th of next month to attend the
Centennial Constitutional celebration
there. Mrs. Cleveland will probably accompany
the president.
The Ute Uprising.
Denver, August 23.— A courier from
Glenwood Springs brings the latest news
from Meeker, in which it is stated that
Sheriff Kendall had gone out, accompanied
by seventyfive well armed
and ^equipped frontiersmen, for
the purpose of locating and flogging the
Indians who are supposed to be camped
about twentyfive miles from Meeker.
The number of Indians is estimated at
from 125 to 200. They are said to be in
the high timber land, in an almost impregnable
position, where they will be
able to stand off quite an army. Another
courier just arrived at Gleenwood
Springs brings a message from Gen.
Reardon, who is in command of troops
at Meeker. Gen. Reardon’s message is
dated at Morgan’s ranche on the divide,
about 30 miles out from Meeker, and
shows that he has made half ol the journey
in safety. His scouts report that
about nine miles distant from Morgan’s
ranche they struck a fresh Ute trail,
which showed that the Indians had
crossed ahead of them on the road.
Reardon* will hold his command at this
ranche until he hears from Kendall, as
he thinks that if he has had an engagement
with the Indians he will drive them
towards Morgan’s ranch. Adjutant
General West has left Glenwood Springs
tor Meeker and Col. Brooks is now commanding
at that place. The people of
Meeker feel confident that the Ute
war will surely take place.
A Phosphate ool.
Columbia, August 23 —The enormous
phosphate industry of South Carolina
is now in a stagnant and crippled
condition. The annual product of the
mines in this state are over half a million
tons. A few years ago this rock brought
from $7 to $9. Companies bought up
phosphate lands at large prices and
made enormous outlays. The prices
have gradually declined for years,
and now the surplus is above the demand,
and crude rock only brings $3.60.
As a royalty ot $ 1 has to be paid the
state for all river rock, this price does
not pay experses, but the phosphate
companies have to hold on because of
the enormous outlay. For months most
of the companies have been attempting
to form a combination to raise the price
and regulate the market’ All but one
company in the phosphate business have
joined, and great pressure is being
brought to bear upon this company, and
it will probably give in this week. The
price of rock will probably b 2 raised $3
a ton.
A Bloody Row.
Savannah, August 23.—A church
supper was given by negroes three miles
from this city last night. Trouble ensued,
during which Tiny Charlton was
felled to the ground senseless with a
club by Tom Green. When he regained
consciousness and started home Berry
Cook ran the blade of a penknife up to
the hilt in his throat. Charlton leaned
his head on his wife’s shoulder and again
attempted to get away from the infuriated
men who were clamoring for his
life, but had taken but a few steps when
Wm. Taylor rushed up with a razor,
handed him by'Jil Cooke, and almost
decapitated him by drawing the blade
across his throat. Blood spurted all
over his horrified wife, and in ten minutes
Charlton was a corpse. Tom Green
is under arrest, but the other three men
implicated in the crime, are still at
large.
Skipped With the Cash.
Charleston, S. C., August23—Great
excitement was created in Sumter yesterday
morning when the sign “closed”
was found posted on the door of the
Sumter National bank. On investigation
it was found that Cashier Chas. E. Bartlett
had absconded with all the funds of
the bank, amounting to $5,500, and that
his books were short to the am unt of
$20,000. Bartlett is believed to have
gone to Mexico. The feature of the
defalcation which is creating the most,,
talk is the fact that the bank officers
knew of the condition of his books
weeks ago. Bartlett’s downfall was
caused by heavy speculation in cotton
futures. The directors will make the
loss good and the bank will resume.
A Tropical Cyclone.
Washington, August 23.—The cyclone
previously reported off the east
Florida coast is more clearly defined
this morning, the barometer near the
centre reading 20.54. It is apparently
moving northward slowly and will cause
dangerous gales off the Atlantic coast.
It is not safe for vessels to sail for
southern ports.
