Thirty-five members of the Salvation Army, while holding a meeting at St. Paul, Minn., Sunday evening, were arrested by the police, by order of Mayor Smith, to whom complaints had been made of the noise made by the Salvationists.

The recent visit of A. J. Miller,of Evansville, to the Central American Republics, and interviews had with the various Presidents, shows that the proposed Congress of American Nations is x-eceiving a hearty and unanimous approval by the leading statesmen of those countries, and that there is practically an unanimous desire to reverse the present system of giving Europe 90 per cent, of trade, and at the same time each reach such an understanding with the United States that the trade will be turned to its natural market in this country.

The 50,000 people in Hyde Park, recently annexed to Chicago, were for the first time in along period treated to open saloons on Sunday. The State law closing saloons on Sunday is a dead letter in Chicago and the Hyde Park saloon-keepers have succeeded, after much maneuvering, in reaching an understanding with the authorities, whereby the statute will hereafter be nullified in Hyde Park. Every saloon in that big district was in full blast Sunday, the signal for opening having been an official ox-der that all bar-rooms should, in accordance with the city ordinance, keep curtains drawn on Sunday. The regulation in regard to curtains was religiously enforced by the police.

Petreck thereupon asked Santos what he would take for his claim on her affection. He named $150 as his price, and the bargain was speedily made. For §50 cash and a two-year note for $100 Cardova Santos relinquished his claim on his fair country-woman to Martin Petreck, who soon found that the maiden did not lavish any affection upon him. He then px'oposed to trade back,and secured his note but the cash was refused. He brought suit, but the court decided that the contract was illegal. Petreck lost his money and has to pay costs, and did not secure the girl.

There is an indication, says a dispatch from Pittsburg, Sunday, that the two steel associations which were dissolved during the troublous condition of the metal trade last November will be reorganized and make another effort to advance prices. The associations are the Bessemer Steel Association and the Merchants' Steel Association. The former included manufacturers of heavy blooms and slabs, while the latter numbered most of the finished steel manufacturers. Both ox-ganizations formerly held monthly meetings and upheld card rates in the Western market, but during the demoralization of trade last winter the members began to make individual cuts in the special lists, and the manufacturers gave up all endeavors to uphold the max-ket and the associations dissolved. Now conditions ure changing, and there exists a general desire among the Pittsburg manufacturers to secure a card rate and stick to it. They state that there is a general upward tendency in the metal market, but the manufacturers can not reap the benefit of the new condition except by mutual agreement.

FOREIGN.

Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, arrived in Berlin and was warmly received by the Germans.

It is now conceded that the relations of England and Germany amount practically to an offensive and defensive alliance.

The German imperial budget discloses a deficit of 20,000,000 marks. This is chiefly due to the decline in the yield of the reformed sugar taxes, which is 24,000,000 marks under the estimates. The reformed taxes burden the domestic sugar consumption with 20,000,000 marks without limiting export bounty systems. The coming budget will be further burdened with a demand for S,000,0c,0 marks to alter canons for the use of smokeless powder.

President Carnot received, Saturday, deputations of American and English stu de its studying in Paris, who presented him with expressions of sympathy as the head of the republic. In replying to the Americans he sasd: "When you return to your homes assist the x-epublic by securing the victory of the policy of concord over the policies of defiance and distrust, which paralyze the strength and resources of nations." The students afterward presented baskets of flowers to Mine. Carnot.

THE INDIANS ARE ANGRY.

Wiiisky Inspires Them to Hatred of the Incoming Whites.

A dispatch from Three River Falls, Minn., Saturday, says: The announcement that the Red Lake reservation would soon be opened for settlement has caused largo numbers of people from Wisconsin, Dakota and adjoining Minnesota counties to squat upon valuable land on the reservation. The Indians have become incensed at the squatters and havo been drinking heavily for several days.

Thursday night they held a war dance and threatened to make a night raid upon the camp unless the whites left the reservation. Three River Falls is seventy miles from a railroad station, and its 250 inhabitants have become so alarmed at the outlook that they have asked that a company of troops be sent there to guard the town and remove the "too previous settlers."

The reservation can not be legally en tex-ed for homestead or pre-emption in many months.

He handed out his good currency, receiving what he supposed was a package containing $500. 'The swindlers left, and when he opened the bundle he found nothing but old newspaper clippings. No arrests have been made.

Some of the vinegar manufacturers are inclined to test the xight of the State Boax-d of Health to analyze their products and put the ban of prohibition upoix sales of those that are adultex-ated. It is px-oaable that the new law under which the board is acting in this respect, will reach the Supreme Court, as lawyers ax-e making inquix-ies on behalf of certain manufaetux-ers.

After quoting the section of .the act relating to adulterated vinegar, passed by the last Legislature, the Attox-ney Geixeral said cider and fruit vinegars may be mixed. Malt vinegar, and that from harmless substances, excepting cider or frai can also be mixed. It is the mixing of cider and fx'uit vinegars with other substances that is prohibited.

AMERICAN TITLE TO BEHRING-

That of Russia Was Never Questioned, and It Wat Ceded to the United States.

Congressman Charles N. Felton, of San Francisco, has written an ax-ticle treating at considerable length of the question of the rights and title of the United States in Behring sea. Mr. Felton was a member of the conference committee between the Senate and the Hoxise, in the last Congress, which passed the bill amendatox-y of the laws regulating fur-seal fisheries in Beh-x-ing sea. The writer first cites the well known facts on which Russia's title to the Behring sea was based, and gives the history of Russia's control of Alaska and the Behx-ing sea tc the date of the cession of the same to the United States, is 186S. Liussia ceded to the United States all that pax-t of Behring sea east of a given line running nearly northeast and southwest through this sea, and retained the title to md contx-ol over that part of Behx-ing sea lying west of the said line. The wx'iter then says: "It is a matter of history that Liussia, from her discovery of Behring sea lown to the cession to the United States, jontx'olled the navigation of its waters and the taking of its marine life. To this end her navy patrolled it, and in pursuance of !xer laws has taken, confiscated and burned :nax*auding vessels. She has since pursued, and is now pursuing the same policy in her part of the Behing sea."

Referring to the fact that the United States and Great Britain entered px'o tests with Russia against cex'tain manifestoes issued by that government in 1821, claiming certain lights over north Pacific water's, Mr. Felton shows that these protests evidently had reference to waters south of Behring sea. He then adds: "In all protests, correspondence, negotiations and treaties there is no allusion to Behx-ing sea, Alutian islands, or to any region of country or sea, within 1,000 miles of eastern border, hence the sovereignty asserted and aiaintained by Russia over that sea from its discovery to its partition and cession to the United States, a period of over one hundred and forty years, has never been officially questioned or denied and, again, had it been understood that the watex-s of Behring sea and its marine life were free to fishermen of all nations, including ours, there could have been no incentive on the part of our government for its purchase.' Whatever title Russia had at the date of its transfer to the United States must be conceded to our government until it is established that Russia had no title to the same, which the writer appx-ehends can not be successfully accomplished.

COMMERCIAL UNION.

The Canadian Question Likely to be Considered by the Next Congress.

special from Washington says: The recent seizure of Canadian sealex*s in the Behring sea and the chances for further difficulties on the Atlantic coast upon the expiration of the modus vivendi, will give

Will Schreibex*, clerk of the First Na- the subject of our relations with Canada

even more interest in the next House than it had in the last. Thex-e will be a number of men in the next Congress who are advocates of a close commercial relationship between the United States and Canada. It is their opinion that the two peoples, speaking as they do one language, and spx-inging from the same genex-al stock, are fitted by nature as well as by location for commercial as well as political unity. And while it is their opinion, also, that the tinxe will come in the future when Bx-itish North America will be absorbed into the United States, and when the flag with a hundred stars will float over the entire territory north of the Rio Grande, these men are not ready to believe that this grand scheme for the extension of the United States territox-y can be carried out for many years to came. But the idea of commercial union has made x-apid strides forward since it was first advocated years ago, and it is the opinion of the leading statesmen in both parties that the time is rapidly approaching when Canada and the United States will have some definite understanding, and the next Congress is expected to give the matter consideration.

LIVING WITH A BROKEN NECK.

Remarkable Case of Maurice Adler, the Victim of a Pistol Shot.

Maurice Adler, who was shot in the neck on the night of July 18th last, by Frank K. Ward, at Washington, D. C., still lives,and an operation was performed on him,Fx-iday. It is a most remarkable case. Although his body has been almost completely paralyzed ever since the shooting, and he has been spoken of as the "man with a live head and a dead body," he has lingered foi more than eight weeks, and seems to be no nearer death now than he was the day after the shooting. The spinous process and the laminae were removed, and tha pressure was thus taken off the cord. It was found that the ball, after striking the fourth cervical vertebrae, had glanced off, but in what) direction could not be seen. Its presontf' looation is unknown. The patient bore? the operation well, and was

AN ELIXIR OF LIFE.

A DISCOVERY THAT PROMISES REMARKABLE RESULTS.

Dxperiments at Various 'Points With Vary* ing Results—Is Youth to be Renewed from Old Age.

The recent alleged discovery of Dr. Brown-Sequard, of Paris, of an elixir of life has became almost a craze in the experiments that are taking place in all parts of this countx'y. Dispatches from Cincinnati Monday say:

The office of Dr. Longfellow, on Ninth street, was again crowded Saturday., over sixty pex-sons presexxting themselves as subjects. The doctor also received a large number of lettex-s and telegrams from a number of surrounding towns and distant points. Lonenbeck & Werner's drug store has come into prominonce fx'om the fact that Professor Werner furnished tha mixture used by Dr. Longfellow. The store was Monday thx'onged throughout the day and the Professor was kept busy answering queries. Many of the callers were impelled by curiosity, but a large proportion had a dix-ect interest in the discovery, either suffering some ailment themselves or having afflicted relatives or friends. Several well-known physicians also interviewed the chemist and left orders for the elixir, which they intend to use.

Some of the doctor's had engagements for Sunday and wex*e greatly disappointed when they learned that they could not obtain any of the medicine before Monday, as the slaughter houses would be closed Sunday.

There was an astonishing demand for the portions of the sheep used in the experiments, and the butchers say they are unable to meet the orders. The elixir is also expensive, as much trouble and experience ax-e nccessax-y to its px*oper preparation. The prevailing price for a small bottle now is $5.

Out of the eight subjects tx-eated, Friday, the doctor heard from five. Three wex-e much better and two could note no change. Several leading physicians called on Dr. Longfellow and closely interrogated him to the plan he pursued in his experiments. The doctor is vex-y particular in urging that the elixir must be used within an hour after leaving the chemist's hands, as thex'c is danger of unpleasant x-esults if partially decomposed mixture is injected. The elixir decomposes very rapidly.

At 9 o'clock Sundayjaorning the medical staff of the county infirmary, by previous ax-rangement, went to Huttenbauex-'s butcher shop at Seventh and Walnut streets. In their pi-esence a number of Iambs wex-e killed. The selected organs were taken while still warm to the hospital where they were macerated by the doctors and the resulting juices filtered through cloth. The fluid was then hypodermically injected into nine subjects—five men and four women. These patients were selected from the oldest and most infirm inmates of the institution. No perceptible results were manifest for several minutes. Latex-, however, some of the subjects x'eported a slight exhiliration,while others complained of feeling worse. The change either way was not of much consequence, and the doctors decided that the tests wex-e not at all satisfactory.

Columbus physicians condemn it. Dr. A. E. Evans said: "I think it a fraud. It is good enough to catch old fools who area gx-eat deal more foolish than young fools. Brown-Sequard at one time stood high in the medical world, but I think he is now in his dotage."

Dr. J. W. Baldwin, editor of the Columbus Medical Journal, said: "It is sometimes unsafe and imprudent to criticise adverse what are called 'discoveries at least the critic will occasionally find himself sadly in the lurch and the laugh tux-ned against him. But in the histox-y of medicine we can hardly recall an instance of a widelyheralded and much-vaunted discovex-y iix which the discoverer had not been compelled to eat much humble pic. BrownSequard is now three-quartex-s of a century old. At one time he was an acknowledged leader in medical science but for twenty years he has been lagging supex-fiuous on the stage, and it seems a pity that his friends have not long since.[ placed him where his senility would not x-ender him ridiculous. That he is honest in his convictions, is doubtless true but so was Bux--geon with his gas, Pox-kins with his

toro and Thompson with his lobelia Gf course he-will find followex-s for a time. Thex*e are scores of men in the px-ofessioi:, as evex-ywhex-e out of it, who are always seeking for some new thing a number of glowing x-eports will be published, a good many abscesses will result. A few deaths fx-om blood poisoning will occur and then the discovex-y will pass into history as another example of professional credulity. The quacks ax-e alx-eady, at least iix some places, taking advantage of the discovex-y, and the demand in the restaux-ants for "lamb fries" will doubtless incx-ease. But the whole thing is vex-y humiliating to those who had believed that medicine was becoming more of a science and less of a medley of ignorance, supex-stitution, and cx-edulity."

A lady of Lima, O., x-epox-ts that she has been cured of the Opium habit by the elixir. Two subjects of Louisville ax'e said to have been restored to health. Mrs. Wilson, Yoe and Duncan, of the Hospital College of Medicine, have been expex-i-menting with the elixir px-epared according to the Bx-own-Sequax-d formula, as given by "the Lancet. With a rheumatic patient 70 years old, they have obtained almost complete x-elief. He feels young and rein-vigox-ated. Dr. Robert Porter has tried the elixir in the case of an asthmatic paralytic, who was not infox-med of the treatment. The patient has partially x-ecovered from the paralysis, and has new enex-gy and strength. A successful experiment is reported fx-om Connersville, on the person of ML-. Gi'cen, aged 65, and a cripple from chronic rheumatism contracted during the war. So stiff and crippled was he that l:e had not taken off his coat in four months, and could not gi-asp a spoon in his right hand. The elixir was taken from the or gans of the sheep, similar to Dr. Longfellow's experiment in Cincinnati. Tho animal was killed about 4:50 p. m., and, acting upon the theory that a doctor should trj

3ns own medicine, injected.' jt 'tflranl an each of his own arms first, in Ies£ than 70 minutes after the animal was killed. At 7 o'clock in the presence of several physicians, citizens and representatives of the press, the experiment wa3 made upon Mr. Greer. A dram was injects ed in each arm above the elbow and ono dram in the calf of the left leg. He remained quiet twenty minutes without noticing any sensation, excepting his face was flushed. He then said that the muscles of the fiiigcx-s seemed to x-elax. He was handed a knife and could hold it withj out pain, a thing he had not done for mouths. Your reporter handed him a lead pencil and tried to take it away from him, but he grasped it too tightly. In f..rty-five minutes he could take off his coat and put it on without pain. His family knew nothing of the expex-iment, and when he went home he astonished them by walking in as spx-y as in youth, and taking off his coat in regular Sullivan fashion. He says ho feels no x-heumatism, except in the joints of the fingex-s of his right hand. He walks ax-ound and can shake hands, while Sunday he could not even touch anything.

HE FINDS A SPIRIT.

A Detroit Man's Long Search for a Wife Rewarded.

Augustus Day,the wealthy Detroit, Mich., man who has been invoking all these disengaged spix-its and all the matrimonial newspapers to help him secure a wife, has found one at last, without thanks to either of the above named agencies. He dispaired of obtaining a wife thx'ough their aid and made pex-sonal seax-ch for one. The bride he has won was Mrs. K. Sanger, a widow thirty-two years old and decidedly good looking. Mr. Day is sixty-eight yeax-s old, but is well px-eserved and has about $250,000 and no family incumbrances. The wedding took place quietly Friday evening and the couple have gone up St. Lawrence on a wedding trip. It is estimated that Mr. Day has written 2,000 letters and spent $5,000, andconvex-sed with no less 200 disembodied spirits in search of an affinity.
