OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN". A Traveling Student Arrested Without Cause In Switzerland and Thrown Into rrison. Baltimore, Oct. 8. Mr. 'Charles E. Coates, Jr., of this city, a graduate of tho Johns Hopkins University, will go to Washington in a day or two to lay before Secretary Blaine a complaint of outrages inflicted upon him while traveling in Switzerland last summer. Mr. Coates has been completing his studies in Germany, and last August, in company with Mr. George D. Muniford, of Now York, was, making a tour of Switzerland. They journeyed to Berne, and on the train they met a couple of Americans who did not speak German. When reached all four took drive about the city, and the depot, took dinner taurant, and went out on Berne was a carriage returned to in the- res tho platform to wait for the train for Interlachen. While standing quietly there Mr. Coates heardhis name called, and looking up saw his acauaintances of the morning being escorted own the platform by an officer. As they passed him one of them said: "Mr. Coates, what is tho matter with the fellowf He must be drunk." Knowing they spoke no German, he asked the ofheer what he wanted, but was simply told to "come along, too." Mumford was arrested at the same time, and the four were taken into a small room with a glass door opening upon the platform. There they were kept for two hours for tho traveling public to look at. The detective who made the arrest would not give any reason for his action. They were taken to thepolice headquarters and separated. Mr. Coates was taken before the justice, searched, questioned, and sent to prison. No charges were laid against him: he had been given no opportunity to clear himself, and they would not let him make a statement. He had with him a letter of credit, a passport, a student's card from Heidelberg, private letters and bills of lading on goods shipped to London, and considerable money. The cell he was given was very lilthy and dark, and swarming with vermin. He was kept three days on prison fare, gruel and black bread, in solitary confinement, all the while ignorant of the charge against him, or when he should be examined. At the end of the lifth dayho was released, with an apology, and was told it was all a mistake. Mr. Coates and Mr. Mumford then went to see tho judge who was to have tried them. Ho agreed it was a mistake and an outrage, and that they wero entitled to damages, which, however, would have to be awarded by tho federal courts. The two then went to' the American consul and told him their story, but he said he could do nothing. Mr. Coates wrote to Minister Washburn, and the latter stated he would get an otlicial apology from tho Swiss Government. Mr. Blaino will bo requested to take action in the matter. ' TURKEY'S ONE-ARMED FRIEND. A Traditionary Legend That Can Re Varied to Suit the 'Whims of the People. . London, Oct. 3. The common people of tho Turkish capital are in a state of pleasurable excitement at the promised visit to Constantinople of the German Emperor, on his way to Athens, to attend tho mariage of his sister to the Crown Prince of Greece. The gossips and story-tellers of tho bazaars have resuscitated a prophecy that a onearmed monarch from a foreign country shall prove a shield, which bhall effectually defend Turkey from the grasp of tho dreaded Muscovite. Tho traditionary legend has been several times adjusted to suit prevailing circumstances. At tho close of the Russo-Turkisb war, when the English fleet prevented any further advance of the northern invader, the English Queen was recognized as the ruler whose one good arm her navy was successfully interposed to save tho Turkish dominion. Now, in the person of Emperor William, they hail a ruler whose condition gives a liberal interpretation to the prophecy so carefully handed down from father to son. and who has the reputation of beingbitterly opposed to the Czar's schemes ol conquest. The Kaiser is morbidly sensitive to any reference to his useless arm, and if he fails to visit Constantinople, as announced, it will be becauso of tho attention that will be drawn to his deformity.

GIRL, 1'1-DESTlUANS EXCITED. One of Them, Clothed In liright Red, Treed by a Cross RulL Wilmington (Del) News. The Pedestrian Club, composed entirely of young ladies living in the western part of this city, started on their first fall tramp yesterday morning. The proposed trip of tho club was to a friend's houso on the New Castle road, about three miles from this city. The chaperon claimed that by walking down the Hare's Corner road about a mile, and then across a lot, tho club would lessen their walk nearly a mile Tho Hare's Corner proposition met the approval of the majority, and the tramp to the goal proceeded. They were not long in reaching the field that was to be crossed in order to shorten the walk, and no time was lost in climbing the fence. Field No. 1 was crossed without the slightest obstacle, ard all were delighted. Then came Held No. 2. Over the fence the gaudily-clad damsels went. Tho last to mount the fence was a sprightly miss clad in a crimson flannel dress and a large red hat profusely trimmed with violets. This blithe little miss claimed to be the long-distanco walker of the club. She had barely gotten over tho fence of field No. 2 when an immenso bull, which had been taking in all the maneuvers of the fair ones with attention, came from the rear of ahaystack and started in pursuit of the ono in red. The mis3 saw her predicament at once, and, being much in tho rear of her companions, began to run. She kept up a lively pace around the held twice, and at many times tho bull was at her heels. After making a third circuit of thelield, Miss Red became weak from exhaustion and cried for help. Her speed slacked and the bull advanced at every leap. Miss Red espied a small pear tree in a corner of tho held, where her sister members stood by, urging her to come on. On reaching the tree there stood a small ladder. She mounted, but tho ladder fell. Then the air was filled with the piteous shrieks of the other members, who stood on the outside of tho fence. Miss Red was equal to the emergency, and with great presence of mind she raised tho ladder and fastened it to a small limb of the tree and victoriously climbed to a stout limb, and there looked on the bull with disdain. A young man who was passing on a side road, hearing tho shrieks of the fair ones, camo to their rescue. Hitching his team to a tree, with whip in hand he approached tho bull and with much difiiculty succeeded in making tho animal retreat. Miss Red showered thanks upon her rescuer and begged him to retire to an adjoining corniield while she would descend from her perilous position. The young man promptly obeyed, and Miss lied in descending fell to the ground and received several injuries, from which she had to be conveyed to her home by tho young man, with the consent of other members of the club. COMANCHE GAMRLERS. Curlons Game of Chance Played by the Indians at the Piedmont Exposition. Atlanta Constitution. But to tell how the noble red man hazards his wealth. I walked oyer to where a crowd of people red, white and blackwere jrathered. all seemingly deeply interested in something that was transpiring in their midst. Seated in a circle around an old red blanket wero ten or a dozen Indians, while others, including squaws, stood up ut the outer edge of the circle. All were bedecked withlpaints, and feathers, and beads, and jewelry of all descriptions. The only bound was tho rattle and jingle of tho silver, with an occasional low exclamation from one of the players. Tho Indians all had money in their hands, which they threw promiscuously into tho center of the blanket. Then the dealer, who, in addition to his warpaint and decorations, wore a pair of green goggles, would cut his cards, throwing them all around the circle. When this was completed the players each reached over and took part of the pile. At least, the winners took it. The game is so intricate and complicated that very few besides tho Indians Know bow it is played. They call it mon to, bnt Dr. JStroni, the interpreter, who has spent his life amoug tho Indians, has never been able to learn how to play it. It is simply wonderful to see how the Indians keep track of their several coins after they have been thrown in the pile and mixed up. Occasionally an Indian standing several yards away on the onteredge of the crowd, will throw in a quarter or a dollar, the amount of his winning being decided by the size of his stake. While engaged in the game, the players became so absorbed that thev didn't notice anything but the cards. Under any other circumstances, they would have repulsed the crowd that surrounded them, but it was pay day, and there was a big stake to be won by somebody. It was impossible to tell by their expression who was winner and who was loser. Only onco did I see an3' mark of feeling, and that was when a big yellow-faced brave had just niado a haul of 25. He got tip and left the other players. Ho was $25 ahead, and he seemed to be in such good humor over it that I hailed him: "Win money?" Ho looked around at me and. jingling a lot of coin in his two hands, while a satisfled grin spread over his ugly face, replied: "ifghl Twenty-tie dolls." " hat are you going to do with it all?" "Keep him by heap big." He started to inovo on, but stopped again when I asked: "Don't you want to play a game with me?" "Ugh! No; pale man no play right." And he gripped his money tighter as he walked away. Monopoly Tactics Failed to Work. St. Ix)uls Post-Dispatch. The French republic does not dilly-dally when a monopoly is to bo abolished. In chartering tho telephone company m 18S4 it reserved the right topnrchaso the privileges and property of the company, at any time, at a price to bo agreed on, or.to be rixed by experts in caso of disagreement. When an nppropiiation was made for the purpose and the purchase had been authorized by law, in Juno last, the company refused to give any information and denied the right of tho government to withdraw tho charter Sept. 1, according to notice given. Other appeals to the company to set a price having elicited no reply, the government promptly seized the property throughout France, annexed it to tho postal service, and cut down telephone charges nearly onehalf on an average. This summary talcing leaves tho company waiting for just so much pay as it can prove itself fairly entitled to. "Western Costume "De Rigour, Kansas City Star. The instructions to gentlemen as to tho proper dress for the Priests of Pallas ball aro very explicit: "Swallow-tail coat, black pants (id est trousers), vest low cut." It is presumed that a "low cut" means a vest that will button at the pit of the stomach. Any gentlemen who wears a hich-cnt vst will be led out promptly, r.l.e. (right lower entrance). The Priests are adamant on the question oi uress, u iney no talk about pants, and the invited truest who hasn't a regulation suit must make his arrangements accordingly. If there is anything in tho world which will excite tho ire of "Jackson" and the Priests it is a swallowtail coat with a high-cut vest and a pair of cnecKeu trousers. What Agitates New York? Milwaukee Sentinel. The neonlo of New 'York nr' mnm rnn. cerned about the condition of Buck Ewmgs thumb than about tho health of the Popo or the selection of the world's fair site.

Edmund Yates, in New York Tribune. Tho highest price which Wilkie Collins ever received for a novel was 5,000 guineas, which was paid to him for "Armadale," by George Smith, before a line of tho story, which originaJly appeared in the Cornhul Magazine, had been written. Armadale" has never been a favorite with the public, but it is a very powerful book, and a story of the most absorbing interest, and Dickens expressed a high opinion of it. Just after the bargain had been concluded between tho author and the publisher, there was a discussion at the Athensnm ono afternoon about book prices, during which Hayward very acrimoniously maintained that George Smith could not possibly have paid any such sum to Wilkie Collins, and after he had ranted on tho subject for some time, Dickens turned to a friend and whispered: "Can you wonder now that that man is so generally execrated f" Thackeray, only a short time before his death, congratulated Collins on the transaction, and told him that ho had never himself made as much as 5,000 by any of his books. The purchase of "Armada'o" was not a profitable transaction for Mr. Smith, but 'Komola" proved a still worse bargain, as 7,000 was paid for it, and of the first expensive edition only some 1,500 copies were sold. The statement that Collins has left copious reminiscences and numerous MS. stories is incorrect. During the last few years he received several proposals on tne subject of reminiscences, but declined to , entertain them. i Bad for Critics. Philadelphia Press. . It is simply astounding that, whilo Mr. Curtis was tho defender and apologist of Mr. Cleveland as a reformer, he should be so rancorous in his denunciation of General Harrison. Take a single illustration. There is no test 60 clear and conclusive as the composition of the Civil-service Commission. Mr. Cleveland appointed among its members an avowed hide-bound spoilsman, who did his worst to nullify all its good action. General Harrison, on the other hand, selected tho most pronounced reformers he could find. Yet Mr. Curtis slurs over this significant fact with a single allusion, and studiously avoids the obvious contrast. It is this surprising want of candor and fairness which marks the address throughout and which is fatal to the position of Mr. Curtis. He presents a distorted statement and an unjust view. Wo believe it is susceptible of decisive proof through specific f ac ts that by every fair test General Harrison is a far truer reformer than Mr. Cleveland: wo believe that in intellectual, moral, and polical honesty he is immeasurably superior: and when Mr. Curtis, who was the apologist of one, becomes the assailant of the other, we only look back and lament the Curtis of other days. The Pan-American Congress New York MaU and Express. A six weeks' tour of observation will be the fitting preludo and preparation for the work of the congress. The arrangements are on the most liberal scale, and the programme includes the most important of our cities, and will enable the delegates to get a better idea of our material developments and national superiorities than they otherwise might obtain in years of observation or reading. They will, too, meet all classes of our people, and will get a reception so cordial and enthusiastio that its effect will be permanent and will be made pervasive in the countries represented, when they return and tell the story of the magnificent reception they got in the great parent republic that is trying to array all the republics in this hemisphere in behalf of common interests and principles of government. ' And even as soon as 1802, when these same countries are represented in our great pan-American fair, the results of this congress will be seen to signify a permanent alliance of American peoples that no power on earth will dare to assail. ltace Prejudice. Milwaukee Sentinel. As for the negro, he will take care of himself. It is the whites who are most hurt, who are most degraded by this abominablo prejudice. With the growth of intelligence among the whites these race prejudices must disappear; but the negro will make his way by his own force of character and wrest from white Americans the respect to whjch he is. entitled without waiting for the slow moving of tho spirit of human brotherhood. lie has achieved woudcrs in his quarter of a century of freedom. We may forget his splendid services in tho war, misunderstand him for his patience in chains, but we cannot long be blind to his increasing intelligence, his increasing prosperity, and the growing evidences of his force as an element of American lite. The intelligent white man of to-day looks on this discrimination against the blacks, as a race, with shame and disgust, just as he looks on the persecutions of the Jews and the stoning of Chinamen. All Municipalities Should llave Them. Nebraska Journal. A Kausan," at Newton, says "the woman's administration of Cotton wood Falls' city a 11 airs have decided that by using proper economy there will be no need of levying a tax this year. This should be a sweet morsel for the papers of the State that have been ridiculing the towns that elected women to fill city offices. It proves, however, that the woman who manages a house and family of children better than a man can bring this executive ability into most effective work in public affairs Women are naturally more economical than men, and bring this characteristic into public life." The Worst Thing. VasfcinRton Post. Mr. Gladstone is reported as saying that the worst things in America are our great wealth and our loose divorce laws. We have profound respect for Mr. Gladstone and his opinions, but we remember that he has never been here and, therefore, cannot know much abont our fall styles of pants, which we think are really the went things we have. .
