Washington St. ' A CHILD'S LIFE SAYED Whan sbr months old the loft band of our little grandchild began to swell, and bad every ' appearance of a large boil. We poulticed it, btii all to no purpose. About five months after, it be-aame a running sore. Soon otber sores formed. He then bad two of them on each band, and as his blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came oa the chin, beneath the under lip, which was very offensive. His bead was one solid scab, discharging a great deal. This was his condition at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was a little more than a year old, of consumption (scrofula, of course). He could walk a little but could not get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bed,' having no use of his hands. I immediately commenced with the Cuticura Remedies, tising the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap freely, and when he had taken one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent lis head was completely cured and he was improved in every way. We were very much encouraged, and continued the use of the remedies for a year and a half. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming is each one of these five deep ones just before healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taring a dozen and a . kalf bottles he was completely cured, and is now, at the ae of six years, a strong and healthy child. The cars on his hand must always remain; his hands are strong, though we once feared he would never be able to use them. All that physieians did for him did him no good. All who saw the child before using the Cuticura Remedies and see the child now consider it a wonderful oure. If the above facts are of any use to rou. you are at liberty to use them. MRS. B. S.

Mayor Hewitt to-day ens to the Board of Aldermen a communication defending his action in refusing to permit the Irish flag to be raised on the City Hall on St. Patrick's day. In it he says be is of the opinion that oo flag but the American has any right to float from any ublio building In this or any otber eity. He cannot see why, if Germany baa to be ruled by Germans, and Franca by Frenchmen, America ought not to be ruled by Americana. It might be construed, he says that his aotion showed a feeling adverse to the Irish citizens of this eity, bnt it was well known that their struggles and aspirations for home rule always had. and always will have, his earnest support and sympathy. The communication conelsdes as follows: "In order to 6bow that the question involved la a serions one, worthy of the attention of statesmen and patriots, I invite your careful study of the facts presented, which will serve to show why candidates for office are so anxious to secure the foreign vote and to prove also that the 'danger Use has been reached when it must be decided whether American or foreign ideas are to rule in this eity. If the warning which I hare been constrained to give shall have the effect of arousing public attention to the good oldfashioned idea of American home rnle, homesteads and borne products, I shall feel that I have not made a mistake in the official action which ray sense of duty has required ma to take."

TROUBLE IN THE GOULD CAMP. Allegation that Serious Qn&rrels Are Fending, which Jay Is Expected to Settle. New York, March 20. The Times this morning publishes the following interesting tale: There is a lively row in the Gould camp, not a little row. but a big row, a row where names are being called andhrcats indulged in. Well may the interested and involved persons nil the telegraph wires with urgent solicitations to Jay Gould to hurry home. It was at the meeting of the Missouri Pacifio railway directors, held a week ago to-day, that this delectable how-d'ye-do broke out It was rather hot at the start, but day by day it has grown hotter and hotter, till now the air in all the Gould headquarters is loaded down with the smoke of denunciations and the blaze of threatenings. This was the way it came about: Wall street has been filled with reports, dated back a long time, that the Missouri Pacific's dividend was about to be materially reduced. People who pose as 'insiders' have tried to phoophoo these rumors down, but phoo-phooins I would not work, and the belief has gr?wn continually stronger that the reports of prospective reductions were true. Yesterday, out came the annual reports of the roads in the Gould Southwestern system, making it pretty plain, by their wretched showing, that, reduced dividends or nor, there are lots of causes for worriment among stockholders. This report in detail was before the meeting of directors at last Tuesday's meeting, and it was a good deal of a surprise to some of thoso present. But astonishment at the bad showing did not prevent a prompt motion from one of the directors to declare the usual dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. George J. Gould objected; the dividend ought to be reduced, be said. liussell Sage insisted on the motion's passage. Young Mr. Gould was not to be pu; down The motion was laid on the table. Gould, jr., was triumphant for the time it being finally egreed to let a flag of truce stand staked till Jay Gould himself should be heard from. Ever since the contingent, anxious to have the old dividend paid, have been keeping the Western Union telegraph wires hot between here and Florida, urging Jay Gould to hasten home to protect his properties, to keep faith with the stockholders, and to discipline his son. The son, meantime, has taken a palace car, and betaken himself in perron to Florida. Telegrams are all well f,u jugh in their way, but a chat between father and eon, face to face, is likely to have more influence upon the Missouri Pacific magnate than the four hundred words of protest and entreaty that Russell Sage sent "on a pass" over the telegraph "wires yesterday. Say those who are displeased with Georfre Gould's determined stand for a reduction of the dividend: "He has lately been speculating on the 'bear' side of the stock market. He has sold 'short' bis father's securities, and be needs a reduction n the Missouri Pacifio dividend to help him get out even." These charges against young Mr. Gould are followed with the naming of stock-brokers' offices where he is declared to have made his "short" contracts. Another intimation that is abroad has it that George Gould has a partner in his "bear" speculation, that partner being his younger brother, known to Wail-street fame as 'Bad boy Eddie," There is nothing particularly novel in Eddie Gould going "short" of papas stocks. He has done it openly, and bis father, when asked about it, baa seemed to be rather proud as be met the question with a whispered, "and they do say that the boy made money coppering me. Now, do you really think he did?" In answer to the comments that have been made upon their stand against more 7 per cent, dividends, the junior Goulds answer that the people who are mad have got loaded down with , stocks that they cannot sell, and now want to misuse the Missouri Pacific, finances to help them out. It certainly is an entertaining situation from a Wall-street point of view, as it is from some other points ot view. And it is a lively task that Jay Gould will bave to undertake in settling things amicably all around. However, there is some consolation for those outsiders who. being neither "long" nor "short" of Gould stocks, pin faith to that antique saw which says that when some folks fall out some other folks may get their due. Robbed aod Murdered. Phknix, A. T., March 20. Information has been received here that Cyrus Gribbel, superintendent of the Vulture mine, and a man named Johnston, were robbed and killed at Nigger Wells, thirty miles from here, while on the way from the mine to this place with bar bullion valued at about $7,000. The bodies were discovered by a Mexican woman who reported the fact, and a posse was organized and started for the seene at once. The ronte is considered a dangerous one, and Wells, Fargo A Co. abandoned their office at Vulture several years ago, after having been robbed of f 0,000 worth of bullion at the ssme spot. It is stated that a reward will be offered by the county and Territory for the arreit of the robbers. Sadden Insanity of a Lawyer. Cleveland. O., March 20. I S.

Norton had recently removed to Bismarck, U. T, and had returned to Erie to try an important ease. Overwork and political disappointments are given as the cause of his sudden insanity.

Strenuous Efforts to Prevent the Public Learning Pacts as to His Condition. Charlottenburg Palace Closely Guarded by Soldiers and DetectivesRumor that An- ; other Operation Will Be Performed. Slender Basis for the Berlinese Dislike of the Empress and Dr. Mackenzie. ; The Ultra Torie3 of England Consider Mr. Kitchie's Local-Government Bill Too Sweeping Advice for Gen. Boulanjer. THE AILING EMPEROR Efforts to Prevent the Public Learning: Beat Facts as to XXia Condition. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Yokk, March 20. A Berlin cable to the Sun says: "Despite a furious storm of snow, thousands of people are journeying along the five-mile road through, the park to Chariot tenbnrg, where the sick Emperor is closely boused. Guards everywhere and detectives in citizens clothing are about the gates. People whose permits take them inside are accompanied by detectives. Extraordinary precautions are taken to prevent the condition of the Emperor from being known. Every two or three hours reports reach the hotels that the Emperor is sinking rapidly, and there ia scurrying and . hurrying about, but absolutely to no purpose. The efforts made to stop all news from leaking out are extraordinary. The only authentic information is that, for the third time,' the Emperor passed a very bad night. The effect of such sleeplessness proved extremely dangerous during his stay at San Re mo, and it is still more dangerous here. Prof. Bergmann was yesterday summoned to wait upon the Emperor in his increased uneasiness. The enmity is so bitter between the German professor and Dr. Mackenzie that .only a crisis could have brought the two physicians together. The examination of the Emperor has been completed, and I am enabled to say, on the authority of an influential physician, that the result is grave and discouraging. The discharge of phlegm is smaller, but of a dark character. It indicates a change that is described as r-alignaut. This report is in pronounced opposition to the official bulletin, but it may be accepted with the fullest confidence, for it comes from a member of Prof. Bergmanns family on one side, and is corroborated by a statement Dr. Mackenzie made. My private information is that the Bergmann-Mackenzie conference , resulted in a diclsion that the growth was not cancer, but that an operation would have to be performed through the mouth. If this operation is a successful one, the Emperor may lire until summer; if not the end is near. . . No Talk of a Kegency.' ' Berlin, March 2a Dr. Friedbere, Minister of Justice, writes to the Freisinnig denying the report that the Cabinet and other Ministers had had a conference at wbieh was discussed the advisability of establishing a regency. ' Official changes in Rome high military posts, whicb bave hitherto been deferred through the disinclination which the late Emperor had to part from generals who had grown gray in his service, are now about to be made. Among the appointments of politieal interest is that of Gen. Von Waldersee to command the Rhine army corps. It was in his bouse that the much discussed meeting for the furtherance of Dr. Stecker's Berlin city mission, which was attended by the present Crown Prince, was held. Empress Augusta, replying to the address of sympathy presented to her by the Municipal Council of Berlin, says: "He wbo, during the latter years of his life, could witness the touching daily spectacle presented when thousands strove to gain momentary sight of him, said and felt that with every look, every heart also went out toward him. This daily incident was the morning greeting of the nation to its Prince and of the Prince to bis people. On both sides it had become a habit to be abandoned only with regret. I need say no more to justify the sentiment which permits me to hope that, as my life will in the future be devoted to the remembrance of the past, I may feel myself supported by this consoling recolleciion in the execution of the calling which still remains to me." FREAKS OF THE CERJLINESE. Blind and Unreasoning Prejudice Against Empress Victoria and Or. Mackenzie. Editorial in Indianapolis German Telegraph Trans- - lated for the Journal. Victoria, Empress of Germany, is by descent and education as undoubtedly German as any princess whom her husband, following the example of his royal ancestors, might have chosen from among the daughters of all the reigning houses of Germany. Her mother, Queen Victoria, of Great Britain and Empress of India, is, on her father's side, a descendant of the German house of Hanover, and had a German mother in Louise Victoria, Duchess of Kent, by birth a Princess of Saxe-Coburg. She was taught German from her infancy, and speaks it almost as perfectly as ber native English. She spent many of her maiden days with her relatives in Germany, married her cousin. Prince Albert, of the German house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, to whom she was a most devoted . wife, and gave four of her daughters in marriage to German princes. The first-born of these, Empress Victoria, of Germany, was, like her royal parents, and under their guidance, instructed in the German language, and made acquainted with German manners and customs and the German view of the world in general. When, as the bride of the Prussian Crown Prince and present German Emperor, she came to Berlin, she spoke a purer German than most of the Berlinese, and she always proved a loving wife to her German spouse and a true German mother to the chi-x dren she bore him. When Prussia entered upon the two great wars which placed her royal bouse at the head of reunited Gtr many, the Crown Princess and present Empress took a most creditable part in providing for the wounded and disabled soldiers and their indigent families, and her praise was, with that of her conquering husband, on the lips of every German. Since then she has done nothing which could in the least be construed as being nn-German, but has nursed her ailing husband with uneeasing care, as in those high circles could only be expected from a model German wife. How, then, has it happened that this lady, for thirty years living in Germany as a German Princess and the mother of a German family, is cow by the rabble of Berlin under the lead of a reactionary class of cobles (Junker) called "that Englishwoman," in the malevolent spirit which instigated the Parisian riff-raff during the first French revolution to call Queen Maria Antoinette "that Austrian." Primarily we are bound to say that this, in the estimation of unprejudiced persons, is unwarranted, ignominious, shameful, and that it will appear more distinctly so when we go baek to the miserable pretense (for the wisest of Solomons could discover no real reason) upon which this disparaging appellation Is based. The Empress Is held responsible for the fact that in the medical treatment ot herhosbaad the celebraied English,

specialist. Dr. Mackenzie, plays the leading part. "Kackenzie.' they say, "bas never be lieved the disease to be of a caneerouo nature, but has always considered and treated it as chronic laryngitis; and now, when the malady, curable at first, is past recovery, it turns out to bj cancer of the larynx, indeed, and to have been nothing else from the beginning." To this we reply: "Mackenzie was not the first, and never tne only, physician of the Emperor ia , his present malady. He was preceded by German colleagues, and has always been surrounded by such who, however, were never of one mind, and changed their view of the case with every change of the symptoms. Dr. Vircbow, the most prominent amongst them, bas repeatedly, and hardly more than one month ago, on the evening of nis departure for Egpyt, examined excretive particles of the swelling in the Emperor's throat and positively declared that they contained no trace of cancer, thus fully concurring in the diagnosis of Dr. Mackenzie. But this Scotchman must be made the scape-goat let us be honest about it merely because be is not a German. Since his -arrival at Charlottenburg he has been bombarded with letters threatening him with all sorts of terrors in case his imperial patient should die. And it is the same rabble of high and low degree which in the afflicted Empress suddenly- discovers that hateful "Englishwoman" because she is supposed to insist upon retaking Mackenzie. Had cot these persons, overflowing with patriotic anxiety, local pride and national vanity, lost all power of reasoning they would perhaps admit that a prince, as such, is cot deprived of the right of every person to select as his physician him in whom be bas the most confidence; that an empress, no less than (he wife of a common day-laborer, is entitled to express her preference in the choice of a doctor for her sick husband; and that the imperial couple are the most interested parties in this case, since the Emperor bas only one life and the Empress only one husband to lose, while the dear citizen, immediately upon the death of one emperor, will get another of the same dynasty. "Why do the Berlinese in this case not stick to the old rule ' that the patient's confidence in his physician is the first prerequisite to a successful cure, if such be yet possible! The suggestion that the Empress upholds Mackenzie, not,, from true love of her hnsband. but from inherited GuelphUh stubbornness and ambition,.- is infamous; for bad she not always been a loving wife to ber Fritz

- she could not have attached that Hobenzollern whose forefathers were by no means renowned as model husbands so intimately to herself as she did ; and as to inherited traits of character it is to be remembered that her mother made the memory of her dead husband a veritable cult, in which she boldly confronts the decision of a vicious world. The national , vanity of these Berlinese travels on dangerous paths, and begins to manifest itself as hatred against everything foreign to Germany, her capital city, and from oehind it lurks that Brandenburgish chauvinism which thirsts for war and martial renown, and, over the shoulders of the Empress, bas; already Axed its eager eyes upon the - future Caesar, William II. From pretended love for the Emperor these Berlinese insult her whom that Emperor loves most, his wife, and from a morbid anxiety concerning the preservation of his life they threaten to kill the physician who will cot despair of that life. While the people of Great Britain U3e every opportunity to show their love for the German Emperor, these frantic Berlinese return the sentiment with sneering allusions to the English birth of their Empress. And all this at a time when Bismarck is strainiug every nerve to draw Great Britain into a closer companionship with Germany and ber allies. Strange, ignoble inconsistency! And what a contrast even with the present chivalrous attitude of France! The Germans of the empire and in foreign countries should beware of imitating so bad an example. Can we, German-Americans, for instance, blame the Empress for cot having entirely overcome the impressions of her childhood, retaining some of the views of her native country, while we make it a point to do the same thing in this country? Or can the Prussnc Junker consistently blame his Empress for her Encash predilections while he lauds the Princess of Meeklenberg, who, as the wife of a Russian Grand Duke, npholds the ideas of her German fatherland at the court of St. Petersburg? Suppose (and it is a mere supposition) that the German Empress shonld even try to transplant come of ber English ideas on p.tti c' German aoil, must ' not we, "as free ' German-Americans, applaud her? And have our cousina in the fatherland for- ' gotten how they rejoiced when Frederick brought his English bride to Berlin and every body looked npon her as the harbinger of a free, parliamentary government rescuing and resuscitating Prussia from the stupefaction into which she had fallen under the remorseless dictates of Czar Nicholas? The French do not think hard of their President because his grandfather lies buried near the German fortress of Magdeburg, but the Berlin chauvinist cannot forgive his Empress having seen the light of this world first on English soil, though she is of German parentage. Foolish people! ENGLISH POLITICS. UUra Tories Think Mr. Ritchie's XooaI Government Bill Too Sweeping. Epeeial to the Indianapolis JouraI London, March 20. Mr. Kitchie's local government bill is bitterly resented by ultra Tories, who contend that it ia too sweeping in its provisions, and therefore calculated to bring about a social revolution which cannot fail to injure the power and prestige of the Conservative party. From their point of view they are quite right in thus estimating the effect of the bill, but unfortunately for them, they are not sufficiently numerous to prevent the passage of the measure, in view of the fact that it plays directly into the hands of the Liberals and Radicals, and of course secures their support. The St. James Gazette, in criticising the bill, says that by its introduction Parliament is invited, in deference to an abstract principle, to overthrow an excellent system in order to set up another more in harmony with political theory. The Radicals bail the bill with delight, and accompany their expressions of joy with assertions that it ia only by moving in the direction indicated that Toryism will be enabled to survive. Old Toryism, they declare, is dead, e.nd upon its tombstome may be truthfully inscribed, "Killed by the Extension of the Fianchise." The more advanced Conservatives, however, realize the necessity of extricating the party from the rot into which it has fallen, and are sufficiently optimistic to believe that the adoption of the measure will not only rescue the party from the mire of intolerance, but really strengthen its hold upon the suffrages which placed it in power. The ward members of the Liberal associations held in Birmingham last evening for purposes of organization indicate an astonishing increase of Mr. Gladstone's strength. The aggregate polling of the various wards showed that only nine-twenty-fifths of the voters were Unionists, and in this hopeless minority doubtless very many of this number will desert the standard of Mr. Chamberlain before the next ministerial appeal to the country, which may be made at an earlier day than even the Liberals dare to hone. ' The Times, commenting on the local government bill for England and Wales, introduced by Mr. Ritchie in the House of Commons last eight, says: "No Liberal reformer could have gone more thoroughly to the root of the matter than has Mr. Ritchie. The prineiple of the bill will probably be extended next year to Scotland, and the Unionists will be delighted to recognize the possibility of giving similar institutions to Ireland as soon as the mass of the Irish people show themselves fit for them." GENERAL FOREIGN JiEWS. Boulanger Can Enter Politics If lie Wishes, but Will lt Wise If lie Keeps Silence. Special to th lndlanaroll Journal. London, Mareh 20. The French Journal Official is singularly silent npon the subject of General Boulanger's disregard of discipline, but the government organs assert that nothing can avert his almost immediate retirement. If this be true, and there is no reason to doubt It, he will become eligible to a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, and will unquestionably be elected to membership in that body without delay. There he can inveigh against his opponents to his heart's content if he ia not discreet enough to hold his tontrae but he will, very early in his new career, learn that, stripped of bis military rank and its accompany prestige, he is not as great a man as be thoogbt himself, and was regarded by hia friends while there remained the possibility of his leading a campaign of revenge against Germany. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Premier Tirard announced that a military tribunal would inquire into the ease of General Boulanger. The order of the day was demanded by the government and carried by a vote of 319 to 89. .- Cable Nctea. The Swiss government is about to establish a federal btck wiia a moaopoly of the issue cf notes. Frstidsat Carnot will shortly inaks a tour

In General Caffarell'a case extenuating circumstances were found and the court only imposed a fine of 3,000 francs. Mme. Limousin was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. In the German Reichstag, yesterday, non. Hackermann, supported by the Conservatives, introduced an urgent motion requesting Prince Bismarck to introduce, at the, next session, a bill for the erection of a monument to tne late Emperor William, the founder of the empire. The motion was adopted without debate.

POLITICAL NEWS. Gen. Harrison Delivers a straight Republican Speech lSefore the Harqaette Clab. Chicago, March 20.The Marquette Club gave a banquet at the Grand Pacifio Hotel this evening. Ex-Senator Harrison, of Indiana, responded to the toast, "The Republican Party." He said he was the oldest Republican in the United States. The Republican party is the only party that bad been proscribed and persecuted for adherence to the cause of humanity. In the darkest days of the rebellion the Republican party saw Appomattox through the smoke of Bull Run. The British instinct to coin commercial advantages out of war made England an ally of the Confederacy. The Republican party bas always been able to handle the greatest questions presented to American statesmanship for solution. What is the condition of things to-day in the Southern States? The Republican vote is absolutely suppressed. More votes were east in Nebraska to elect one Congressman than were cast at the same election in Alabama to elect ber entire delegation, and the Democrats say, what are you going to do about it? We can protest, if nothing more. I have no quarrel with the South. I am willing to forget that they were rebels as soon as they will forget it themselves. They do not seem to have reached that point yet. The Republican party haa committed itself to the doctrine of protection to American industries. I believe so long as our genius can supply us with what we need, we must take care of it. The prosperous voyage of the sip of state now is accounted for by the fact that the course of the ship was marked out and the rudder tied down before the present captain went aboard. The speaker said the intelligent people of Dakota were now barred from any voice in national affairs because the State was controlled by Republicans, while national affairs at Washington were controlled by Democrats. ' v , John Rati I ITS Political Lapse, fecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Mabion, March 20. John Ratliff, of this city, holds the position of chairman of the Prohibition S tate central committee. Mr. Ratliff held the same position two years ago, at which time also he was the third-party candidate for Congress in this district. At the convention held by the second-precinct Republicans of this towoBbip, last evening, an incident occurred .which placed Mr. Ratliff in a position where some explanations to his Prohibition constituents will be necessary. When the vote for delegates to the township convention had been counted and announced, Wilson Addington called the convention to order and stated the pending business to be the selection of delegates to the State, congressional and district conventions. Mr, Ratliff was present. He had been present during most of the count for township delegates, and had evinced considerable interest in the proceedings. L. D. Baldwin moved that Mr. Ratliff be chosen- to preside. The motion was seconded and carried, and Mr. Ratliff took the chair, picked up the official call and announced the convention ready for business. At this point J. Q. Stretch raised the point that the presiding officer was cot a Republican and demanded a new deal. The chairman showed an inclination to stick, and Stretch demanded that he (Ratliff) should either vacate the chair or swear to support the Republican ticket. If this was not done he ( Stretch) would leave the convention and tne party. The chairman was still non-committal. At this point L. A. Von Bebren made a motion to reconsider the selection of a chairman. This motion was about to be put when Mr. Ratliff withdrew, and another presiding officer was chosen. His action last evening strengthens the belief that has long been prevalent, that Joha Ratliff has become tired of the drought and husks that have marked the third-party Prohibition campaigns thus far, and that he would like to get baek into the Republican fold. There will probably be a shaking up of the dry bones among the Indiana Prohibitionists when the fact becomes known that the chairman of their State central committee has so far forgotten himself as to consent to preside at a Republican ward convention.

THE LARD INQUIRY. Former Employes of Squire & Co. Tell now that Firm Makes Lard. Washington, March 20. The counsel for ths manufacturers of refined lard opened their case before the House committee on agriculture this morning. James Mathews was called, and testified that he had worked for six or seven years for Squire & Co. He said that the Squire company made several kinds of, lard. Leaf-lard and pure leaf -lard was made from the leaf only. The pure lard was made from hogs' beads, hogs feet, rough lard and white grease. There was a little. hair around the ears and nostrils of ths head. The hoofs were not taken from the feet The white grease was -made out of guts and paunches, it was refined with soda aod put in on top of the lard., Seven or eight tierces of pigs' feet grease . was purchased by Squire & Co. every month, and mixed in with pure lard. Oa cross-examination the witness stated that he had left the employ of Squire & Co. on Saturday last, having , been offered a better position with Fairbanks & Co. He bad been promised this by nenry Eckstein, one of Fairbanks's employes, who said that if he would come here and testify he would get a good position in Chicago. His expenses were paid while here. All the white grease made by Squire & Co. was, be said, used in making lard, and none was shipped away. John Callahan corroborated the previous witness's testimony as to the use of white grease in the maklog of lard iu the Squires establish ment; and the cross-examination elicited the same facts relative t j the cause of his leaving the employ of Squire & Co. Mr. Cromwell sr.id that allusion having been made to the use of petroleum tanks for the transportation of otton-aeed oil, be wished to put on record the affidavits of shippers through out the South npon the subject. These affidavits declare that most of the cotton-seed oil is shipped in tanks exclusively used for that purpose. Some is shipped in keroMiue tanks, but in such cases the car, when the kercseoe is drawn off, is thoroughly cleaned and steamed. He also read a telegram from the provision inspector at St, Louis to the effect that he bad examined three tank cars wbich bad previously been used to transport petroleum, containing cotton-seed oil. There was no trace of petroleum in the cotton seed oil, whicb was perfectly sweet. Mr. Crom well then called Andrew Stephenson, of Chicago, to testify to the character of various hams labeled "California hams" andl"Picnio hams." The witness stated, after examination, that they were not hams, but were cut oft from the shoulder. NO NUNCIO FOR AMERICA. The Holy See Abandons the Idea of Appoint log a Representative at Washington. New York, March 20. The Times says: "It is ascertained on good authority at Rome that the idea of appointing a papal nuncio to this country has been abandoned by the Holy See. Such an appointment has been often thought of, as the Holy See believed it would expedite business between it and the American bishops. It was thought that it would be a help to have on the ground some distinguished theologian, a disinterested party, who could dispose of the small matters which are continually coming up and which ara an unnecessary addition to the work of the already overburdened Congregation of the Propaganda at Rome. The important cases, under . this arrangement, would still be left to the decision of the Holy See. The American bishops, however, to whose suggestions Rome always pays the greatest deference, thought another arrangement would be preferable. This was to bave some accomplished American priest, thoroughly conversant with this country, its hierarchy and clergy, stationed at Rome, to act as In termed lary between the American episcopacy and ths Pope. If the rector of the American College at Rome could perform this function In addition to his regular work, be would be the person most fitted for tho place. The delay that is now sometimes inevitable in the settlement of oases would be much shortened by the presence cf such a funtionary. This is the way iu wbioh the matter will probably be finally adjusted, as it would be satisfactory to both sides. The United States is tne only country which has passed the missionary stage to which a nuncio has not been appointed, and this ex emption is taken as a significant sign ot the great impression the American bishops have made in Rome, and how carefully their opinions and feelings are considered. The nuncio has extensive jurisdiction, aud his tribunal is a court of appeal from the ordinary ecclesiastical courts. If a nuncio were to be sent to this Cbua try he eonld not be accredited to the government as in the countries of Europe, because 1k4 United States would not recognize the Rom ad Cnnrch government as a political entity. Here his function would be purely ecclesiastical" t r LA NK. MOVEMENT HY THIS MOK3CON3.
