Moscow, June 14. The seizure of an immense quantity of war munitions and military accoutrements, stolen from the Government depots in a village in . Southern Caucasia, has revealed a plan vof rebellion aiming &iL Caucasian inde ipeodence. In view of the difficulty of transporting troops tq that region and the dissatisfaction of fthe peasantry, the Government will immediately begin the construction of a railroad tunnel through the Caucasus mountains, AN IMPORTANT DECISION CAUSING CANCELLATION OF THOUSANDS OF PENSIONS. The President Takes a Trip Down the Cay Change m to Appointment of Lighthouse Keepers An other Decline in the Treas ury Balance Good Time Made by the Mar blehead. Washington, D. C, June 14. Assistant Secretary Reynolds, of the Interior Department to-day rendered an important decision which is far reaching in its effect and will involve the immedi ate cancellation of thousands of pension certificates issued under a ruling of the last administration. He holds that where a claimant for a pension has deserted from his first service and enlisted in an other and different organization and the War Department refuses to remove the charge of desertion or recognize the le gality of the second service, but holds him to be in a continuous state of de sertion, that department has exclusive jurisdiction f the correction of its own records and .. . ugalityof the soldier's services and until the charge of desertion is removed by the War Department the claimant has no pension able status. This ruling is a return to the old and well settled practice of the department in the adjudication of pen sion claims and is a reversal of the de cision of the late Assistant Secretary, in which he held that a formal discharge of the second service terminates the status of desertion and places the soldier, re gardless of the record, in the attitude of eligible claimant for a pension. While the money paid those persons on c rtificates under the ruling of the last administra tion cannot be recovered, the action of Judge Reynolds to-day will have the effect of dropping the names of these who have wrongfully been granted pen sions. The President has gone to the Capes of the Chesapeake to try the efficacy of silt air as a recuperative agent. He intends to cruise for several oays on the light house tender Maple, in company with Dr. R. M. O'Reilty, his regular physi cian, and Capt. Root. Evans, naval sec retary of the light bouse board, and if his health is benefitted as much as ex pected, he may return to the White House next Monday or Tues day. He drove to the boat this evening at 7:30 o'clock and, a lit tle later, started down the rivr. The Maple is a new vessel, delivered to the Government only a year ago. She is a staunch craft, 164 feet long and 30 feet beam, and her twin screws drive her at a rapid rate of speed. She also has a full schooner rig and is capable of mak ing an ocean voyage. If the conditions are favorable there is nothing to prevent her from going to Buzzards Bay, al though the President, on leaving, ex pressed no intention of going further than the entrance to the Chesapeake bay. Tis significant order was issued by Secretary Carlisle to day: 'ine authority to nominate persons for appointment as keepers and assistant keepers of lights in the light house ser vice was taken trom collectors of cus toms June 8, 1694, by order of the Secre tary, and transferred to the inspectors of the seyeral light house districts. J. G. Carlisle This action, said Capt. Evans, naval secretary of the light house board, abso lutely takes tne light house service out of Bolitics. All -light house ins -i-ctors are naval officers and they will recom mend only fit and proper persons for keepers and assistant keepers, regardless of political ' pressures. New appointees will naturally be taken from the domi nant paity, but fitness, not the political activity of the appointee, will govern the selection. The stated treasury balance to-day de dined toi115.3S6.590, of which $58,275, 000 is in gold. Of the $1,000,000 engaged in New York for shipment to Europe yesterday, only $500,000 was shipped,the remainder being returned to the New York sub-treasury to-day. Treasury officials construe this to mean that ex change is so "sagged" that gold exports at a profit can no longer be calculated ir oliranrai and that thp And nf such ' j.xrnrte is near at hand. fcV?nator mcLaurm. or .Mississippi, hea'-d a delegation that waited on Sec Carlisle this morning and asked f essor T C Hendenhal, chief of the coast MMfctie survey.

There was an increase in the volume cf business at the Stock Exchange, but the gain in this re spect was at the expense of values. The total sales of stocks footed up 226,539 shares, against 125,373 yesterday. Sugar figured for 110,800 shares. This stock was the great feature of the day's specu lation, opening at 101, rising to 101 and finally breaking to 97, a net loss of 4f points for the day. The bears discovered selling of long stock early in the session and from that time on they bent their energies to bring about a break. The Havemeyer testimony started the selling and it was thought that the evidence given by the officials of the company will be used with good effect against the concern when the House takes up the sugar schedule. Houses with Washington connections were heavy sellers of the stock, and one firm alone parted with 10.000 shares. Chicago Gas advanced to 798, the best price yet. attained, but, subsequently, when Sugar broke, there was a decun to 761. Chicago advices are that Attor ney General Moloney will endeavor to enjoin the payment of the dividend, and when this is accomplished he will take up the ouo warranto matter once more. General Electric declined f , Lead to f . National Cordage i, and United States Cordage 1, while United States Leather, preferred, advanced 1. The railway list was firm, early in the day and con tinued so until union facitic and Atchi son developed marked weakness. The first named fell 21 per cent to 13f , the lowest point of the year. Atchison sold down 1 per cent. to 7f . In the case of Umon Pacihc it was rumored that the July interest on the first mortgage bonds would be passed. This was subsequently denied by one of the receivers who admitted, however, that there would be some delay, as was the case with the January coupons. The decline in some quarters was at tributed to liquidation by foreign and New England holders, who were fright ened by the proposed assessment on Atchison and who expected the same treatment in their own case. The $12 as sessment on Atchison accounts forthe weakness of that, stock and the fall in the seconds, classA, to 29 was dtte to the proposed reclassification of the first mortgage. The railways, other wise, were tolerably steady, considering the heaviness of tbe stocks named, and lost only i to i per centX Burlington and Quincy fell i, Kock Island i, St. faul ,M.issouri acihc.f . iiirief-oouthern Pacific i. Western Union f, and Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf f. The ques tion of the dividend on New Yorkx Cen tral is looming into prominence. Tbe directors are to meet a week from to morrow to take action. The bears are claiming that the rate will be re duced. They said the same thing about Western Union and Rock Island dur ing the p st few months and will probably keep it up until the directors dispose of tbe matter. The reduction in gold exports by to-day s European steamer of 500.000 to $750,000, while a source of gratification to the financial community, had no influence. The market closed weak and 1 to 2 per cent, lower, except Sugar,which lost 4f . The bond market was irregular, but, in the main, weak. Of to-day s sales of stoeffs, 107,000 shares were listed and 109,000 unlisted. Chicago, June 14. The selling of wheat by the prominent local heavy-weights was more powerful to-day than all the damage reports and drought news that was record d, Tne indifference of for eigners as expressed by lower cables and by the lack of buying orders from the other side was . one of the disappointing features of the day. The crowd seemed to haye grown tired of the discussion of hot weather and concluifd that the crops were all right any way. The lesser lights among the bulls sold out the wheat, and the bears helped them to get rid of it, but at lower prices than they desired. July wheat opened at59f to 59$c, sold between 60ic and 59 to E9c. closing f to fc lower than yesterday at 591 to 59ie. The cash demand for wheat was good to-day, but, owing to the weakness in futures, prices were correspondingly low. Corn did not participate in the weak ness of wheat, but held a firm tone throughout the entire session. July corn opened 41$ to 41fc, sold between 42c and 41 to 41fc. closing c higher than yesterday at 41 c. Cash corn was in good demand and firm. Oats were affected favorably by the Cincinnati Price Current's summary which said: "Portion of oats are good, much of it poor doubtful if much oyer three quarters of a crop." The omnipres ent small stocks serve to incite the bulls every time they are thought of. July closed c higher and J une fc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were in gcd de mand and i to fc higher. Provisions were easier at the opening, on a decline in the value of live hogs, allying on the Bpurt in wheat, but when that grain sold off,product became easier and finally receded a little. Packers were the best sellers. J uly pork closed 10c lower than yesterday, July lard 5 to 7c lower and July nbs 74c lower. A STARTLING- TRAGEDY. A Man Kills Wife and Three Children Then Hangs Hlmseif Driven to Desperation by Want of Work. Camden, N. J., June 14. A quintuple tragedy to-night startled" Cramer Hill, a suburb of this city. John Kaufmann, a Bavarian, 50 years of age, cut the throats of bi3 wife, licsina, and his three children twin boys aged 5 years, &n.d a month old infant, and then deliberately hanged himself. The awful crime must have been committed between Q o'clock a. m. yesterday and the same hour this morning, but it was not discovered by the neighbors until this evening. Kaufman was a comparative stranger in Craven Hill, having moved there from Treuton five weeks ago. He was in des titute circumstances and had been out of work some time. He is thought to have committed the deed out of sheer despond ency. He rented one-half of a double frame house, tne ouier pare DiDg unoc cupied. No sign of lif ejwas visible about tbe place after 6 o clock a. m , when Mrs. Kaufman went to the door and received bread delivered by. a baker. The fact that the shutters remained closed all of yesterday and to-day excited the suspi cions of Frank Hartman and he corimu- nicated his fears to Justice of the Peace Schmidt. The latter' went to the house this evenjog and pulling open the shut ters saw n the .dim evening light the body of Kaufman hanging by the neck between the double doors on the first floor f roat room. Further investigation showed the body of Mr. Kauf man op a bed in the middle room on the first floor clasping her dead infant in her arms. Upstairs,; in another . room were found the bodies of the 5-year-old twin boys, with their throats cut from ear to ear. The husband, wife and three children comprisea tne entire lampy.

SILK CULTURE. BILL TO ESTABLISH FIVE EXPERIMENT STATIONS. The Senate Passes Much Bill, Appro priating $5,00 0 Annually for Each Station Lengthy Debate on the Wool Schedule Dis orderly Conduct in the House Indian Schools Dis cusssed. SENATE. Washington, June 14. In the morn ing half hour a Senate bill was passed authorizing the Secretary tf Agriculture to establish five silk experiment sta tions, one each in different sections of the country, with the view, of develop ing Bilk culture throughout the United States. Such silk sulture stations shall be a part of the several experiment stations in the States in which they may be located. The work at each station shall be conducted under the supervision of the director of such station, who is to carry on such work under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Sec retary of Agriculture. The bill appro priates $5,000 annually to each of the stations for silk culture, which shall be established under the provisions of this act. ' The Tariff bill was taken up at 10:30 o'clock a. m., the first paragraph in the wool schedule being the one under consideration. Senator Lodge made an argument against placing wool on the free list. He welcomed the appearance of the cotton textile schedule as the forerunner in leg islation of that which would over-spread the whole South, and he believed that ten years hence there would be no more chance of getting a free trade vote in Georgia than in Pennsylvania of Massa chusetts. Senator Hoar described the offer of free wool to the woolen manufacturers of New England as the apple of Sodom' held to their lips, but which they re sented and scorned. Senator Higgins, of Delaware, took the floor to oppose free wool. He hai baen speaking for over two horns, and had entirely lost sight of the Tariff bill and f reex wool, but had discoursed upon the Canadian question, the Hawaiian ques tion, the steamship line between vau couver and China, the smuggling of Chi namen over the Cauadian border into the UnitedState3, and various other matters, when he incidentally referred to the United States civil war. Just then Senator Harris, who had evidently been an unfailing listener, broke out with tbis question: "And what answer did the Senator from Dela ware give wnen that issue of war was presented, a good many years ago?" Senator Higgins I cave the same answer that I give now. Senator Hoar, who had not been listen ing, broke in with the inquiry as to what the question was. Senator Harris The Senator from Dele ware wa3 suggesting that this bid was an issue of war between the sections. He had departed from the wool schedule and from the Tariff bill, and was discu-s-ing the issues of 1861, and I was a little curious to know what he did then Senator Higgins I did not izo to Mexico. i Senator Harris A great many North; ern men at that time shouldered their muskets and went into the army. What did the Senator do? Senator Higgins I shouldered my musket for a little time. "I suppose it was for a very little time," Senator Harris remarked, in bitter tone, "and I hope that he will shoulder it for a still shorter time in the Senate hereafter in reference to this tariff question." Senator, Higgings That answer may be or may not be worthy of the Senator from Tennessee. I was presenting a se rious argument on a serious question, absolutely germane to the bill. I was showing that the ultimate issue and out come of this conflict was (as in 1861) whether we should have two flags and, two countries, and I say now that we should not adopt a policy that would create in the North the same conflict that we had then in the South. The Senate, at 6:15 o'clock adjourned. house of representatives. The House at once went into further consideration of the Indian Appropria tion bill, sitting in Committee of the Whole. An amendment, offered by Mr Cannon was agreed to, prohibiting the employ ment of any man as farmer or stockman who had not for five years next preced ing his appointment been actively en gaged in that business. Mr. Wilson offered an amendment to make the home rule principle apply to the appointments of these farmers and stockmen, which was ruled out on a point of order made by Mr. JUaddox. Mr. Wilson endeavored to discuss the amendment, but was held to.be out of order. He said that the gentleman from Georgia would make nothing by his baste, and declared that the bill should not be passed until tbe Committee on Rules had brought m an order to that effect. Mr. Johnson, Republican, of Indiana, moved to increase the salary of the superintendent of schools from $2,500 to 83.000. Mr. Cox, Democrat," of Tennessee, offered an amendment abolishing the office of superintendent of Indian schools, Mr. Cannon, . Republican, of Illinois, moved to amend Mr. Cox's amendment by including the office of Indian com missioner in the work of abolishment. He said if the gentlemen from Tennessee and Indiana belieyed that the office of superintendent of Indian schools should be abolished, "he wanted to see them and go them one better" by abolishing the office of Indian commissioner, and let Secretary Smith, who his friends say is the best worker in, America, take charge of the bureau. Having expressed himself, Mr. Cannon withdrew the amendment. On Mr. Johnson's amendment the vote resulted yeas, 80: nays, 76. Mr. Maddox insisted upon the point of no quorum and the pan of the roll was begun, Mr. Johnson gave notice to the gentleman from Georgia, (Maddox) that inasmuch as a vote by yeas and nays could be had on this amendment in the House, he (Johnson) would require the presence of a quorum to act upon any proposition before the committee if he (Maddox) in sisted upon the point at this time. This irritated Mr. Maddo:, and he shouted something back to Mr. Johnson in response, which could not be heard above the din of the chairman's Higher "fall in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report- ABSOLUTELY PURE gavel and the stentorian tones of the clerk calling the roll. Mr. Johnson was standing in the area in front of the clerk's desk, and in a moment Mr. Mad dox walked down the aisle toward him, shouting that the "gentleman could not bulldoze him." Two deputy sergeants-at-arms were at the men's elbows, and no collision occurred, although the situa tion appeared threatening for a moment, Mr. Dockery in the chair was working the gavel and his voice . to the utmost limit in the effort to restore order, and the two officials started to accompany the two members to their seats. Their progress was not rapid enough to suit the chairman, however, and with a par ticularly emphatic bang of the gavel he saidr "The. gentleman from Georgia and the gentleman from Indiana will be in order." - To which Mr. Johnson- responded; "Why, Mr. Chairman, I've been trying for five minutes to get the gentleman from Georgia in good order." This pleasantry did not strike the chairman favorably, for he stated se verely: "The gentleman from Indiana will take his seat and observe the rules of the House," which he did, and the calling of the roll was then continued. . One hundred and eighty-six members answered. The names of the absentees were ordered entered on the journal and proceedings in Committee of the Whole were resumed. Mr. Johnson's amendment was de feated, and Mr. Cox's amendment, to abolish the office of superintendent of Indian schools snd to eliminate the ap propriation for the salary thereof from the bill, was also defeated. Mr. Hull moved to transfer the appro priation of $12,500, for the support of 100 Indian pupils at St Boniface's Industrial school. Banning, Cab, to the public school there. Pending action on the amendment, the committee rose, and at 5 o'clock p. m. the House adjourned until to-morrow. PATRIOTIC CEREMONIES. Laying of the Cornerstone of a Monu ment on the Spot Where Were En acted tbe ClosiugBcene of the Revolutionary War. Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., June 14. On the f-pot where Washicgton and the Count de Rocbambeau planned the final campaign which brought independence to the Republic, the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution gathered to-day and, with ceremonies that stirred the patriotism in the hearts of dwellers by the historic Hudson, laid the founda tion btone of a monument in memory of the heroes of the past. Flag day, the anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripee, was fittingly chosen for the event, and perfect weather added to the enjoyment of the affair. The speak ers, distinguished guests and mem bers of the patriotic organizations who took part in the day's programme left New York city on the steamer How ard Carroll at 10:20 o'clock. On the boat Vice President Stevenson held an in formal reception. The marine band from the Brooklyn navy yard played inspiring airs on the trip up the Hudson, while the many historians on board pointed out scenes of revolutionary operations as they were passed. Several steam yachts accompanied the Carroll and when Dobbs Ferry was reached at noon the monitor Miantonomab, and the old United States frigate Lancaster were found anchored in the stream, and a score of yacht3, all covered with buating,hovered about. Carriages conveyed the guests from the landing up the bill through hies of Grand Army men, representing posts from neighboring towns, and the fire and ponce departments of Dobbs ferry, and past nag marten residences ana stores or Dobbs terry and to the scene of the day a ceremonies on the outt-ide of the town. About 2,000 people stood around, while Chauncey M. Depew, president of the Sons ofthe Amtrican Revolution, laid the foundation stone for the monument. After the marine band had played the National anthem and a salute from the men-of-war had echoed over the water, the company moved to the porch of the Mansion and the literary exercises took place. There were an invocation by Arch-Deacon Tiffany, an address of wel come by Hon D. O. Bradley, chairman of the citizen's committee, which was responded to by Col. John C. Calhoun, a speech presenting the plot of ground by Dr. MasbroucK ana its acceptance by Mr. Depew. " hen Vice President Stevenson spoke as follows: "I can hope to add but little to the in terest of this great occasion byv any words I may utter. This day and this hour belong to history. We stand, in deed, upon historic ground. Here oh the banks of the majestic Hudson, we lay the cornerstone of a monument which will commemorate the spot where the respective commanders of the British and American armies arranged amicable terms, at the close of the great struggle, for the withdrawel of all hos tile troops from our Doraers. At that self-same hour, upon the opposite bank of the Hudson, a British sloop of war fired seventeen guns in honor of the great American chieftain. More than that, it was the first official recognition, by military salute, by one of the greatest to the latest born sovereign nation . "The monument, whose cornerstone we lay at this hour, will mark the spot where occurred one of the greatest events of our colonial struggle. W ashington aoanaomng an nope oi a bucuwsbiui at tack upon the city of New York upon the identical spot where we have now assembled, on the 14th day of August, 1781, planned the Southern campaign, whase objective point was the peninsular of Virginia, the fruits of which were the surrender of Corn wains to the American and French armies at Yorktownthe establishment of colonial mdependence, and the introduction of the Government of the United States into the family of nations." Opposition to the Goal Strike Settle ment, Columbus, Ohio.; June 14. -The oppo sition to the coal strixe is assuming threatening proportions, and the Wa tional officers of the miners" organiza tion are now very much worried over the situation, which threatens disruption of the organization.

A NEGRO GIRL ATTEMPTS TO BURN A DWULLINGr. Complete Fish Display in the State Museum A Singular Specimen Secured. Commencement Ex ercises at St. Mary's and Wake Forest Tennessee's Governor Makes Requi sition for the Chero kee Murderers. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh. June 14. Night before last there were two fires, within an hour, at the residence of Mr. PhiL Taylor and ex-Judge T. B. Womack, on HUlsboro street, near St. Mary's school. Yesterday Lizzie Jeffries, a negro girl employed at the house, was arrested on a charge of arson. She was lodged in jail and was to-day given another hearing. The trial lasted a long time. The house in which the fires oc curred is the property of the heirs of the late CoL David M. Carter and is a hand some one. The damage by both fires did not exceed $50, so quick were the firemen. Six convicts were brought to the peni tentiary last evening from Beaufort county by Sheriff Hodges. He says the crops in his part of the State are much better than they are in this section. Rail fell quite near here last evening, and a storm threatened, but spent itself before reaching Raleigh. Only a few drops of rain fell here. Between this city and Goldsboro there were quite heavy rains. The weather to-day is cool. It is said to-day that the change in the schedule of the Seaboad Air Line, which was announced as to take place next Sunday, will not go into effect until the 24th. It is also said that the local pas senger trains between Portsmouth and Charlotte will run on Sunday, At the State museum to-day Taxider mist Herbert Biimley was found prepar ing for preservation the most singular fish ever seen here. It is the "orange file fish." In color it is orange, and the shape is very odd. The display of fish in the museum is very complete. Mr. Gree'nls now prepaiing a tarpon or king shad, which is over five feet long. This is being covered with tin foil and will then be painted in a lifelike way. Next Tuesday evening a banquet, at which there will be 100 guests, will be given in compliment to Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, at the Yarboro house. It is the purpose to make his visit here very agreeable to him. President Winston, of the State uni versity, and President Mclver, of the State Normal and Industrial school, were here some hours this morning, on their way from Trinity commencement to that at Wake Forest. Many Raleigh people went to Wake Forest on the early train this morning. The commencement exercises were well attended. Seven of the seniors made speeches as follows: Salutatory, by William L. Foushee, of Person; "Shifting," by Marshall O. Carpenter, of Lincoln; "The South Carolina Dispen sary Law," by Robert L Freeman, of Marlboro county, S. C. ; "A Parliament of Religions," by Julian E. Yates, of Wake; "Wooing," Sirens," by Rowland F. Beasley, of Union; "A Patriot." by John D. Robertson, of Iredell; Valedic tory, by Robert W. Haywood, of Jones. Superintendent E. McK.

The requisition made by the Governor of Tennessee for John Dockery and Wil liam Hall, the two Cherokee county men who stood in this State and shot and killed a man named Br y son in Tennes see, will be held by Governor Carr until the Supreme court decides the very knotty question as to whether they are amenable to Tennessee iust ice. Four large maps haye been placed on the walls of the State museum. These were specially prepared for use at the World's Fair. One of them shows the location of all the public and private schools and colleges in the State; the others show the geological features, the location of -mines of all kinds, ana tne fishing interests. .
