MEADE WILL BE RETIRED
The Rear Admiral Detached From Com-
mand at His Own Request.
WASHINGTON, May 10.—Rear Admiral
Meade has been detached from command
of the north Atlantic Squadron at his own
request and has asked to be placed upon

say, now chief of the navigation bureau,

BROOKLYN, May 9.—Rear Admiral
Richard W. Meade is the youngest man of
- ». his rank in the
United States
navy. That he
has been detached
from the com-
mand of the north
Atlantic squad-
ron, and on June
11 will be retired
from the United
States service, was
-: _. the chief topic of '
- conversation i n
the navy yard to-
day.
‘ Many of the
R- W- MEADE- officers thought
that they knew the reason for the admi-
ral’s action.
“I know why this was done, ” said a
naval officer who has been very close to
Admiral Meade officially.
“The reason is that the department has
for several months been censuring the ad-
miral for alleged breaches of discipline.
and he is tired of the constant complaints.
He was very anxious to make some changes
in the present regulations, and his over—
tures in that direction have not been Well
received by the navy department.
”When he protested against serving on a
court martial where his inferior in rank
was presiding officer the department cen-
sured him. His efforts in the West Indies
to bring the squadron of evolution to a.
state of perfection were met with antag-
onistic orders by the department, and he
could not stand it.
“A criticism of the United States
cruisers, made by him in a paper that he
read before the Society of Naval Architects
and Marine Engineers some months ago,
was also distasteful to the department.”

TOOLE HAS RETIRED.
The Famous English Actor Is Suffering
' From Puralysis.
LONDON, May 10,—John‘ Lawrence
Toole, the well known English actor, is
suffering from paralysis and will perma-
nently retire from the stage.
John Lawrence Toole was born in Lon—
don, March 12, 1833. and educated at the
City of London school. He is ason of
Mr. Toole, the civic toastmaster. His first
appearance on the stage was at a. benefit
to Mr. F. Webster at the Haymarket thea-
ter, July 22, 1852. His performance hav-
ing proved successful, he resolved to be-
come an actor and began his professional
career under Mr. Charles Dillon at the
Queenis theater, Dublin, where he achieved
a great success. In 1854 he accepted an
engagement at the St. James theater,
London, under the management of Mrs.
Seymour. This was followed by an en-
gagement With his old manager, Mr. C.
Dillon, who had the Lyceum, and, on the
opening of the new Adelphi theater by Mr.
Webster, Mr. Toole became the leading
comedian. He has for more than 30 years
been a popular favorite in all branches of
his profession. Mr. Toole of recent years
has been in the habit of making a profes-
sional tour of the English provinces,where
he has gained the same popularity as in
the metropolis.
In July, 1874, Toole Went on a starring
tour to the United States and made his
Americandebut at Wallack’s theater, New
York. He undertook the management of
the Folly theater, London, on Nov. 17,
1880, which he has caused to be recon-
structed and renamed, calling it after his
own name—Toole’s theater.
In 1888 Toole published his ”Reminis-
cences.” He made a successful tour in
Australia in March, 1890. His most recent
success was as Walker in Mr. Barrie’s
play, “Walker, London.”

WASHINGTON, May 10.-—Genera1 Casey,
chief of engineers, will retire tomorrow..

Colonel George H. Mendell. who is in
charge of all public works on thl Pacific
coast. Colonel Mendell will retire Oct. 12,
1895, Colonel Abbot Aug. 13, 1895, and

IS DUPONT SENATOR?
Exciting Scenes In the. Last Moments of
the Delaware Legislature.
DOVER, Del, May 10.—-0n the conclu-
sion of the two hundred and eleventh
ballot today Senator Alcfich read a paper
protesting against further balloting, claim-
ing that Henry A. Dupont had been legal-
ly elected. Governor Watson refuses to en-
tertain the motion or to allow a protest to
go on the records of the joint session,
claiming it to be out of order. Senator
Pierce appealed from the decision, and the
governor refused to entertain it. Senator
Harrington (Dem.) moved to separate, and
the yeas and nays were called. It was 2:47
when the roll call was concluded. It was
a defeat for separation, 18 to 12. Senator
Records made a similar motion, but it
Was also defeated. Representative Davis
moved to take a recess for five minutes.
Defeated. Senator Records moved to separ-
ate, and during the roll call the state
house clock struck the hour of 3, but the
clock in the hall was ow minute slower,
and when the fact was announced the
governor declared the general assembly
dissolved.
Speaker McMullin then declared Henry
A. Dupont elected United States senator .
from Delaware. '
Speaker McMullin’s declaration was re-
ceived with derisive Shouts by Democrats.
This move was prearranged by the Repub-
lican leaders, and was for the purpose of
giving Dupont a basis for contest before
the supreme court of the United States.
Dupont had 15 votes, which was a ma-
jority, but the governor took his seat,
making 30 members and necessitating 16
votes to elect. This is what caused the
tangle.
IS MISS WILLARD TO WED?
Unconfirmed Report Regarding the Fa-
mous Temperance Agitator.
CHICAGO,” May 10.—-A story has been
floating around in women’s temperance
circles during the past few days to the ef-
fect that Miss Frances Willard, the famous
temperance leader, may be led to the altar
before the autumn leaves have begun to
fall. Like most of the material out of
which women’s gossip is formed, the story
is artrifle hazy, the gentleman in the case
being alluded to. Without name, as “an
Englishman of wealth and pesition and
of prominence in reform work across the
water. ” Among Miss Willard’s most in-
timate friends the story receives no cre-
dence. They say that if she contemplated
any matrimonial alliance they ought to be
among the first to know of it, and they
pdint to the fact that she is just enteling
upon her fifty-sixth year as an evidence
that she is not likely, at such a period in
her life, to assume the cares of a home.
Moreover, she has not hinted at any pro-
spective change in her domestic relations in
any of her recent communications.
At the same time one of her closest
friends in this city said this morning:
”Miss Willard has always regarded the
temperance movement as her spouse, and
we could hardly imagine her wedded to
any other. At the’ same time, I Will con-
fess that strang r things have happened.
Let us wait and so. ”
Miss Willard has for some time past
been the guest of Lady Somerset at Rel-
gate, England. She Will pay a flying visit
to this country in October and then return
abroad.
