'There aro many well-dressed men. of ordinary size," says the New York Sun, "who never think of getting custom-made clothing for tho reason that they can buy first-class goods and fashionable cut at the leading ready-made clothing stores. The explanation is very pimple indeed. The-ready-made clothing of equal quality with custom-made clothing is cheaper because of tho-differenco between wholesale and retail prices, and because of the application of the well-known principle of tho division of labor. It costs the ready-made clothing manufacturer the same for making the pattern for a hundred coats that the custom tailer pays for making the pattern for one coat, and the same principle applies to other "branches of tho business. The very best designers and cutters of clothes aro employed by these large establishments,"

CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Two More Grand Jury Indictments Against Ex-Treasurer Burke, of Louisiana. ICew Orleans, Oct. 23. The grand jury t inlay resumed the State bond investigation, and returned three more indictments, two of them being against ex-"JTeasurer E. A. Burke for forgery, in uttering as true forged bonds of tne State. Tbe forgery is understood to consist in having numbered tho constitutional bends that were negotiated by Mr. Maurice Hart for Burke. They "were pledged to various banks of the city, and when their fraudulent character was discovered they were returned to Mr. Hart, and he refunded the money ho had borrowed upon them. Consequently Mr. Hart is $;0,000 out of pocket. Iu obedience to a mandatory order of tho court, calling for dispatches sent from this city to Major Burke, in London, einco the bond investigation has been going on, Mr. J. T. Alleyn, manager of the Western Union Telegraph .Company in this city, was before the grand jury, and it is understood submitted tho dispatches specifically called for. It is believed, however, that they did not contain anything of importance to the State. WILL BREAK THE SUGAR RING. How Clans Sprectels Intends to Ffokt and Defeat the Greatest Trust in the Country. Philadelphia. Oct. 3. Claus Spreckels intended to begin work at his big refinery in this city to-day, but owing to tho bad weather aud other causes ho was prevented from doing 60. Active operations will probably begin next week. Mr. Spreckels is confident that he will win in his great light acainst the Sugar Trust. I will produce one million pounds of sugar a day at the start," said Mr. Spreckels. "By February two million pounds a day will be turned out. I have decided to double the plant, and when the new buildings are finished, aa they will bo before tho end of next year, I will produce four million pounds a d3y. lS'ew Orleans will be the next objective point. A refinery will be built there with a capacity of one million pounds a day, and when I have doubled my plant her I will produce six million pounds of sugar a day. Tho trust produces eight million pounds a day, so that when I get fnlly started I shall turn out three-fourths of the entire amount, and I shall sell it. too. The sugar market," continued Mr. Fprcckels. "is now in a demoralized condition. There was a drop yesterday in the price of refined angar of one-eighth of a cent a pound. Every decline of one-eighth cent meaus a decrease in the income of the trust of 10.000 a day. 1 look for a drop of oue cent a pound in the prise of sugar in the next thirty day. Thia means a decrease of $S0,000 nioro a Cr-.y iu the income of the trust." Mr. Spreckels said that the big drop in tru3t certificates can be accounted for from tho fact that the trust is loaded up with a lot of hijrli priced sugar, and ns the market is iu a bad condition the insiders have been sliding out of their certificates." Proposal to Lease the Cherokee Strip. Kansas City, Ort, 23. Chief Mayes, of the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, was in the city this afternoon, and lelt this evening for his home. The Cherokee council, he aavs, will meet on Saturday to disenss the government offer of purchase of the Indian lands. The chief would make no prtdictiouasto the result of the council a meeting.

and ererylMn In Snrrfcal Inttnunents and Appliance WM. H. AHMBTBOKO 008 Hunrtcal Intmrant House, 92 Bouth IUlnoU A CONNING DEFAULTER. Bow Prof. W. K. T, Grossman Remained in Concealment for Two Tears. Allextowx. Pa., Oct 23. Much surprise was occasioned here yesterday by the announcement of tho reappearance of Prof. ' W. K. T. Grossman, who eomo years ago robbed his employers and was supposed to have gone to Canada. Grossman up to Jan. 1, 1SS7, was employed as book-keeper for tho wholesale grocery firm of Johnston V. Swartz in this city. lie also operated a large furniture factory, was a partner in a music store and was at one time a director of music Uo lived in great luxury, was the owner of several fast horse's, and spent money lavishly to entertain his friends. The suspicious of tho grocery tirm wero aroused in .. 18S0 by their bookkeeper's manner of living, and they made an investigation of the books. The examination showed that Grossmau had been robbing his employers for six years. Early in 1S84 .Grossman's furniture factory was destroyed by tire, but it vm promptly rebuilt, and tho latest improved machinery was introduced. This required a large outlay of cash, much of which, it is believed, came from Grossman's employers. An expert was intrusted with the responsibility of straightening out the book-keeper's accounts, and ho found a deficiency of about $25,000. Gross-. man absconded,, but he did not go very far. lie lingered near the city, and at night went to his home in a fashionable part of tho city. Here ho spent over two years in his splendid library, which is not only one of the largest, but one of the best in town. JUs whereabouts were known only to his attorneys and about fifteen of his nearest friends. The latter made frequent visits to the houso which Mrs. Grossman continued tooccuDy. The object of these visits was ostensibly to bring ,the supposed griefstricken woman messages from her husband, who was alleged to be earning a scant livelihood by teaching music in Canada. The object of these calls was, it appears now, to comfort the Professor, who enjoyed himself immensely, and read with much interest tho published reports of his ilight to Canada and his career in the land of the boodlers. The defaulting book-keeper made his first apSearance in public since his escapade Sunay night, and now defies civil or criminal prosecution. The crime with which he is charged is in the category of misdemeanors, and the Pennsylvania law is such that criminal limitation takes place in two years, provided the offender is able to prove that he has been in the State for that time. Since Grossman is amply able to do this, he will be exempt from further prosecution, and it is not probable that he will in any way be molested hereafter. Johnston & Swartz still operate his furniture factory, which is within astono's throw of Grossman's home, and from the window of his room he could plainly see his former employers endeavoring to redeem the $25,000 out of which he had defrauded them. During Grossman's enforced retirement his only child, an infant son, of whom he was very fond, died, hut for fear of detection, the funeral services wero held at the house of a relative. The Professor, while in concealment, did not suffer for want of exercise. Occasionally ho was taken out at night by his friends and walked around the city, and once in a while ho took a trip to New York. m TUE SAME OLD SrORY; A Cashier Goes Outside to Speak to a Lady and Returns to Find Himself Robbed. 'Newark N. J., Oct 23. Two welldressed men and a woman drovo to the Surrey Savings Bank at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Two men entered the bank and informed the cashier, Mr. Weber, that tbe lady in the carriage was unable 4o walk and desired to speak to him and make a deposit. One of the men an I the cashier went out and held a conversation with the lady. She deferred making he deposit, so the cashier returned. The other man left tho bank and entered the carriage and drovo oft". A few moments later itwas discovered that 1,150 in bills had been stolen from behind the railing. Only two clerks were in at the time. It is supposed that the thiei1 entered tho inclosuro through the pate, which the cashier left open. There is no clew to the whereabouts of tho thioves. Reporter Assaulted by a Judg. Kansas City, Oct. 23.Judgt John A. McDonald, of the county court, assaulted James Kceley, q Journal reporter, to-day.

St. Louis, Oct. 23. There seems to have been an error made in reporting tho verdict in tho Chambers-Uowman inquest venterday. Tho verdict was that "Frank J.

AIiATOIED AT RUSSIA. The Port Will Redress the Wrongs of the Armenians to Stay a Russian Invasion. London, Oct. 23. Turkish officials in Constantinople have been thrown into, a fever of excitement by the discovery that Kussian agents have been at work for over three months in Armenia gathering . evidence of the cruelty and outrage practiced by the Turks and Kurds upon the helpless Armenian Christians. The Russians have done their work so quietly that not a hint of their objoct reached the ears of the Turkish tyrants, and now that the evidence is in such shape as can be used to present to tho notice of all Christendom the authorities in Constantinople get their lirst glimpse of the object of the wily Kussian. The news of the discovery was at once conveyed to the Sultan, whose first move was to send for the judges investigating the charges against Moussa Bey, the Governor of Armenia, and countermand his former instructions to them to acquit tho accused at all hazards. The necessity for taking immediate action to redress the wrong of the Armenian Christians is now, for the first timej recognized in. the Turkish' capital. It is seen that Russia now has a case to justify in the eyes of Europeans an invasion of Armenia to shield the Christian inhabitants from tho revolting cruelties heretofore repeatedly charged, but never proven against their Turkish masters. It is seen that the blow is ready to fall, and if anything is to be done to avert it it must be dono at once. The Urst result of the discovery promises to be thecouviction and severe sentence of Moussa liev, notwithstanding the evident Eurposesail along to set him free to repeat is acts of oppression and cruelty. There is every evidence that the Fort e has become thoroughly awako to the perils of the situation, and that the long-sought reforms in the administration of Armenia will bo put in force with feverish haste and ostentatious publicity. to tho ear of Christian Europe. Whether or not these measures, at tho-eleventh hour, will avail to turn away the impending blow for which Kussia has. seemingly, raised her arm, remains to be seen. , The Testher Lloyd says that in a recent interview with Professor Vamberg the sultan of Turkey declared positively that the Porte would not join the triple alliance. Turkey, he said, desired to maintain a neutral attitude and to be on the most friendly terms possible with all the powers. He regarded the coming yisit of Emperor William to Constantinople as an important and fortunate event. Tho Snltan said he was strongly opposftd to autonomy for Armenia, because two-thirds of tne inhabitants were MohammedRus, whom it- would be unjost to ignore for the sake of the Christian inhabitants. Professor Vain berg describes the Sultan as an extremely conscientious and painstaking ruler. SPEECH BY GLADSTONE. The Grand Old Man Discusses Politics Before a L&rjre Number of Ills Admirers. London, Oct. 23. Mr. Gladstone delivered an address at Southport this evening. He was enthusiastically welcomed, the hall being crowded two 1 jura before the opening of the meeting. Mr. Gladstone roviewed the work of the Liberal party during the past twenty-one years. He paid a tribute to the laudable anxiety of tho powers to postpone a European crisis. Ho referred to tne Cretan question as a formidable menace to the peace of Europe. He criticised at length the government's work, and claimed that all its useful measures were liberal. Tho speech was short and somewhat disappointing. Mr. Gladstone made a point by declaring that the principles of tho dock strikers applied to tenants and tradesmen in Ireland would have been penal. He was touched by tho election gains, and believed that if they could end the septennial act. and appeal to the people to-morrow, the verdict would be in favor of the Liberals and justice to Ireland. . The bulk of the speech waa devoted to Irish grievances. He said that the necessity of the continued proclaiming of new districts was evidence of the failure of the coercion policy, and declared that the crimo rate was now the same as in 1881, when, in order to secure the support of the Parnellites, the Tories declared that coercion was not longer necessary. Mr. Gladstone said he was unable to lay before his hearers the scheme of the Liberal policy for the future, be3ond the outlines already well known. The hall was beautifully decorated, and amid the profusion of Hags and banners, tastefully draped from the walls and pillars, were scattered innumerable placards, bearing pithy and striking patriotic mottoes and party war-cries. Upon a larce tiag behind tho speaker's desk were blazoned iu letters of heroic proportions tho words 'Gladstone lives," while on tho opnosito side of tho hall a huge banner bore tne inscription "We win with tho llowing tide." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Disorderly Scene at the Trial of Father He Fadden The Offenders Fined. London, Oct. 23. The trial which is now proceeding at Maryboro, of Father McFadden and ft largo number of his Mock, accused of the killing of Police Inspector Martin, in February last, was interrupted to-day for nearly one hour by a violent altercation between the crown attorney and tho counsel for the defense, which several times threatened to result in a general fight, in which the judgo and the members of the jury, as well as tho original combatants would take a hand. After the excitement had somewhat abated, and the judge himself had cooled down eutliciently to remember that his court had been treated with contempt by Counsellor Keener and two of the jurors, while tho row lasted, he vindicated the dignity of his court by imposing a fine of upon each oi tho offenders. Renewed Activity of Russian Socialists. LoNldN, Oct. 23. The Nihilists are again active in St. Petersburg and the city during the past month has been flooded with their revolutionary proclamations. The police are entirely at a loss to explain how these documents are printed or distributed. It is asserted that the printing is done in Paris under the protection of certain high government officials tainted with revolutionary doctrines, and that this is the headquarters also of tho Nihilist newspaper, the Struggle, which is printed expressly for circulation in Uussia, and large editions of which are periodically spirited across tho Kussian border in spite of every police precaution. Flood at Su Petersburg. London, Oct. 23. News comes from St Petersburg, to-day, that a sudden rise in the waters of tho river Neva there has flooded all the lower part of the city, and a large number of streets are under water " from one end to the other. No lives are re

ported lost, but in many instances women and children living in houses near the river bank were only saved from drowning by rescuers, who went -out to them in boats. At last reports the river was again falling. The damage to property along the water front extends for mauy miles on both sides of the river, and will reach enormous figures. " A Monument for I-ord Howe. London, Oct. 23. The .announcement cabled hero two weeks ago of the discovery of the long-forgotten grave of Lord Howe, tho hero of the battle of Ticonderoga, iu 1758, under a street of the village of that name in New York State, has stimulated the patriotism of a few public-spirited Englishmen, who propose to appropriately mark the resting-place of the youncr hero. Funds are being quietly collected for the purpose, and an artistic monument will he erected at a convenient spot near Ticonderoga, to which the remains can be conveniently removed. Corrected the Czar's Erroneous Views. . Hkrlin, Oct 23. The St Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette says he learns from official circles that the interview between the Czar and Prince Bismarck was devoted by the latter chiefly to correcting the Czar's erroneous views in regard to the triple alliance, and persuading him that its aims are peaceful. The Vienna Fremdenblatt. believing that Prince Bismarck succeeded in correcting the Czar's views, expresses the hope that the Czar's cltarer insight will leaven Knssian political parties. Complaints of German Miner. Berlin, Oct. 2a The miners of Saarbrucken have sent a petition to Emperor William, praying for an imperial commission to investigate and report on the condition of the men engaged in the mining industries of the empire. They complain that their treatment at the hands oi the mine barons, their employers, amounts to absolute slavery, and that unless some rerelief is attorded the consequences to the state must bo serious in tho near future.

Milwaukee, Oct. 23. The all-Americas travelers left Chicago this morning at 8 o'clock under the care of Captain Burke, of the army. This was because of the fact that the special agent, William E. Curtis, remained behind under advice of Dr. Yarrow. Mr. Curtis is obliged to tako rest, anxiety for the success of tho trip and activity in attaining it having caused nervous exhaustion. He expects, however, to resume his duties to-morrow. The run to this city was uneventful savo for the boarding of the train at Western Union Junction by the Milwaukeo reception committee beariDg tiny bottles of Milwaukee lager beer as souvenirs and also handsome pamphlets illustrating Milwaukee. The St. Paul road, on which the rnn was made, also distributed elegant souvenirs. Upon arrival at Milwaukee carriages carried the party through the residence portions to the art gallerv, water-works, and to breweries and to a hotel, at 10:S0, where lunch was had. Mayor Brown, at conclusion of lunch, welcomed the visitors, saying all citizens of the city were true American citizens in the sense of desiring a true union of ail the Americas. He was followed by John Johnston, who spoke of Milwaukee as "the place of the beautiful bay or hollow." He Rave history and statistics. He claimed for Milwaukee the second place as a flour-making city Minneapolis being first. Only thirty-live policemen were required to keep order in day time among the city's 250.000 people. Mexican Minister Romero, speaking for the delegates, said those of the. East expressed surprise at the wondrous growth of the West, and made some compansonsof industries aud structures East and West J. Vt Quarlcs spoke of the American peculiarities, which amused his hearers, and, in closing, evoked cheers by saying the hands of the United States were extended to the visitors, and behind them were the heart beats of a free people. The Ood who had made these peoples neighbors had assuredly decreed that they should be friends. (Applause.) To that end the speaker proposed a sentiment that was warmly received. After luncheon Dr. Silva, delegate from Colombia, who had inspected tho great breweries with interest, remarked that at the meal ho had felt inclined to protest against theuse of wine. He suggested that beer, the be vera ce of Milwaukee, should havo been used' at the meal. The drivo about the city was resumed afterthe lunch, tho chief feature of interest being the National Soldiers' Home, on the outskirts of the city. The Southern visitors saw with some wonder the great number of veterans, all in uniform, drawn up in line along one of the beautiful drives. They were told that the Nation provided sucn homes for indigent veterans of the war of the rebel

lion. 'They are the children of your Nation," ejaculated one Southerner. "Yes, the'Nation's wards," responded a local committeeman. . The care by tho whole people of aged and indipent soldiers deeply moved many of the visitors. Tho engine-works of Allls & Co. were visited, and machinery boxed for shipment to several South American nations challenged comment from many. After a hotel dinner, the party in the evening attended a reception extended at his homo by John L. Mitchell. A new diversion was there ofl'cred. A canvass tent of goodly size, connected by a covered way with the house, was pitched on the lawn, and there the visitorsdanced until late inthe evening, when they were driven to tneir train, which started at midnight for St Paul. The Pan-American route has been changed so as to allow a visit to Kansas City. From St Paul and Minneapolis, tho special train will go to Omaha, according to announcement From there it will go to St. Louis, where a stop of only one day is made, instead of two as hitherto nnonnced. A trip is then made across tho State to Kansas City, and thence to Springheld, lib, and East, as announced. HUGE RAILWAY ALLIANCE. The Chicago & Northwestern and Union Pacific x Form a Traffic Agreement Epeclal to the InAlsnapous Journal . New York, Oct 24. The World says: "An alliance has been formed between the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union Paciflo railway systems. These roads will henceforth be operated in complete harmony and with the view of each giving the other all the traffio its agents can secure for points on either line. The agreement was first rati tied by the board of directors of the Union Pacific company with the government directors present, and then by the board of directors of the Chicago & Northwestern, the last acts in the arrangement being performed by Presidents Charles I rancis Adams and Marion Hnghitt, who signed "the documents for their respective companies. The Chicago & Northwestern, as is well known. is under the control of the Vanderhilts. Now, with their close affiliation - with the Union Pacific, the Vanderhilts will probably branch out towards the Pacifio ocean. This could very readily be done by continuing the line of the Union Pacific from Frisco, Utah, southwesterly to one . of the southerly California seaports in proximity to Los Angeles. Those who ought to know say it will not be long before a Vanderbilt throuch line, extending from ocean to ocean, will also be an accomplished fact" SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES.

Gov. Fowle Says They Enjoy All Their Rights, lut Is Silent About Suppressed Votes. Raleigh. N. C Oct, 23. Governor Fowle to-day opened the eleventh annual colored Stat fair here, and spoke to a large audience of negroes. He referred to the action of the colored Baptist convention at Indianapolis in appointing a day of fasting and prayer for Southern negroes, and said his auditors wero as happy as any people on the face of the earth and protected in all their rights, and hepledged them the whole power of the State to be exercised in their behalf jnst as much as in behalf of the white men. The sentiment of the negro toward tho white man, he said, m tho South is kindly, and this is reciprocated. Negro schools and asylums in North Carolina are as well cared for as those ot the whites. 'l"io negroes of the. North do not enjoy the same attributes of freedom as the North Carolina negroes. They never even see inside of a ' jury-box. The Governor touched upon the negro exodus, and said negroes were freo to ko where they wished, and would carry with them the best wishes of the -white people. to whose women and children they had been so devoted during the late war. but they would, in going, leave the State where they are better protected and happier than any where else. Ihe Kev. Mr. Leak, colored, secretary of the fair, indorsed Governor Fowle's remarks, which were frequently applauded. Rev. Mr. Leak 6aid that negroes' rights were more fully protected in North Carolina than anywhere he knew of. He heartily denounced the exodus, saying that negro agents who were urging it were paid so much per head for each negro whom they induced to emigrate. Amity- Between the Kaces.

One Congressman Who Upholds tho Measure, and Another Who Denounces -It. 8rc!l t the Indian spoils Journal. Washington, Oct. 23. Nearly everybody hero is discussing the civil-servico law in general, and the commission as at present constituted in particular. While the former has friends in all parties, the latter seexna to bo severely criticised by almost every Senator and Representative, along with private citizens. The impression generally prevails that there will be some radical changes in either the commission or tho law, although very few even feign to believe that the cardinal principle of tho law or the reform will be altered. Thero are two Republican Congressmen in the city "who take Bitch widely diilerent views on tho subject that they are worth quoting. One is Simonds. of Connecticut, who favors the whole thing as it now stands, and says it will remain intact. Tho other is Hout, of Tennessee, who denounces the reform a-s enforced and every memher of the commissionMr. Simonds 6ays: "Undoubtedly there is a decided opposition to the law among the workers of both parties, but speaking entirely from a partisan point of view I think patronage is a positive evil. I have no slurs to cast upon a man who seeks ofhee. I think any man may have an honorable ambition to hold an office, and that he has a perfect right to seek it; but the possession of patronage is a positive injury to a party, and 1 think tho civil-servico law should bo maintained and extended as far ana as rapidly as it can be of benefit to tho publio service." Mr. Houk, who is the oldest Republican member from the South, declares the reform under the present commission to bo a fraud. Ho says Commissioner Roosevelt is going around talking as if the United States belonged to him, and that the proEleare heartily sick of the humbug. Ho clieves Congress will take it in hand. WORIUNO NIGHT AND DAY. Great Amount of Labor Tcrformed by the Postmaster-General and Ills Assistant. Epftial to the Indlanspolls Journal. Washington, Oct 23. First Assistant Postmaster-general Clarkson is doing an immense amount of work incident to tho compilation of rostmastcr-general Wanamaker's report. Both officers are working night and day, with a view to completing their labors by tho middle of next month. The annual report of the Postmaster-general is always voluminous, sometimes occupying a thousand closely-printed rages, much of which is tabular work. The nc wsCaper experience of Mr. Clarkson serves im well at this time. Ho is a rapid composer and is methodical, besides being ono of tho most industrious men in tho publio service. There is a good deal of midnight gas being burned now by Messrs. Wanamakcr and Clarkson, and they are the hardest worked of any of tho departmental officials at this time. Secretary Windom, however, is doing a great deal of work getting his report ready. When Mr. Wanamaker wentinto the Postoffice Department it was said by some that he took the position merely for its honors; that he would use it to bring himself into prominence without doingauy actual labor, and that he was. in fact, a retired merchant, so far as actual physical work was concerned. Mr. Wanamaker has averaged f ullv ten hours out of every twenty-four of , eacH of the six days of the week, with the hardest kind of work since he became Poit-master-generaL If ote will look in upon him at his work in his room at the Postoffice Department, or at his residence, early in the morning, through the entire day and until late at night, he will bo disabused of any idea that Mr. Wanamaker is not a laborer in tho busiest vineyard of the country. He hasdisplayed groat adaptability in his work, and takes hold cf it with a relish. It is understood that his report will be more voluminous than that of any of his redecessors, and that it will contain many mportant recommendations. A SKILLFUL TACTICIAN.
