The drawback would not avail, however. as the imported, hides were divided up into UilTerent classes ol goods, and it would not bo practicable to ascertain what portion of thern were subject to draw back. If the 'Western cattlemen and farmers wanted letter prices for their hides they should tiko some care in preparing them for marit. Now they branded them, thereby destroying a considerable part of their valne, and by careless slaughtering -they killed the hide when they killed the cattle. If tho duty wa3 imposed, although the ultimate eQect might be to maintain -xiting prices of hides and leather, the frade would be demoralized for eighteen months or two years.

SGHE1UNGS OF AN AUTOCRAT

Reasons Given for the Czar's Attempt to Throttle the Liberties of the Finns. One 3Iore Step in ilussia's Covetous Longings for Sweilcn and Norway Chinese Military Operations on the Western Border. Indications that Germany Will Soon Be the Ruling Power in Central Africa. Sir Samuel Baker's Views on the Alliance of Wissmann and Einin Pasha Ex-Emperor Born Pedro's Illness Takes a Serious Turn. ItUSSIA AND TIIE FINNS. Why the Czar Is Anxions to Russify the People of Finland The Chinese Border. Copyright, 1&H9, by the United Press. Loxdox, April 5. The scheme to convert Finland from a free state, with the Czar as constitutional sovereign, into a Russian province, witli the Czar ns autocrat, excites considerable attention in Europe. People generally have had their eyes fixed upon Russian operations in the Danubian provinces, and on the Dardanelles, to the neglect of tho encroachments of that vast and restless power in other directions. Russia is feared by Sweden not less than by Turkey, and Sweden looks to England, just as the Sultan does, for protection from the grasp of the Muscovite despot. The Scandinavians are not united in feeling, for reasons apparent to the student of their history. Between Russia and' Denmark there has for ages existed a strong sympathy, while Russia and' Denmark regard Sweden, both with unfriendly, and the former with covetous eyes. The Russitication of the Finns, therefore, means one more step in Russia's advance towards an attack npon Sweden and Norway. Finland was a part of Sweden for centuries Russia first annexed one-half, and in 1S0S seized the other half; but not until after a heroic struggle, which is commemorated in the grandest Scandinavian epic of this age. The eyes of Europe were at the time upon Napoleon, otherwise the Russian conquest of Finland would have held a place in history with the throttling of freedom in Poland. Some of the inci dents, as when one Finnish soldier held a narrow bridge for many minutes against a large force of Russian soldiers, falling just as the Swedish army came up to the post which his valor had saved for then; com pare with the noblest achiovt-nents on record. A people of this kind will not yield their liberties without a struggle. The western portion of Finland is chiefly settled by the Swedish race, and most of these would eitherfight or emigrate. As stated in a previous dispatch, many thousands have already emigrated. From Shanghai comes the statement that the Chinese are strengthening themselves on their northern frontier against an appre hended attack by Russia. China for sev eral years has been increasing her military force in the provinces adjoining the Ainoor, and, stout forts have been erected at points mo3t likely to be threatened by Russian invasion. China could throw about SOO.000 of the best troops of the empire into imineuiaie action in xne event, oi a war wuu Russia, while the population to be drawn upon for reinforcements is practically unlimited. No word conies from St. Peters burg as to whether thero is ground for Chinese fears, but this silence indicates nothing. Russia is not in the habit of pub lishing to the world either her foreign or domestic policy. Besides, the Czars have usually allowed, rather tnan permit ted, their generals to undertake movements that meant or led to war, and especially has this been the case in Asia, where vast tracts have been absorbed and extensive hostilities carried on at various times withiu this century, without any declaration acainst anybody. The ene mies, however, have been half -savage tribes and khans, with little authority beyond the view from their mud-built towers. Dealing with China wonld be a ditlerent matter, for the Chinese army is vastly im proved in-discipline and equipment since tho attair with franco a lew years ago. But even in making war upon China it would be entirely in accord with the duplicity tbat characterizes the Cabinet of tha Czar to beenn hostilities throuah some commander whose course, if unsuccessful, might be repudiated. On the other hand. there is the fact that the uispatcn announc ing Chinese military movements in the direction of the northern frontier relate nothiiii; new. beintr simply a confirmation of the report that China is keeping a vigi lant guardianship over provinces in which, more than a year ago, sho had already sta tioned the llower of her army. KR3IA3S IN AFRICA. Sir Samuel Baker Thinks They "Will Soon Control the Lake Region of the Interior. London. April 5. Sir Samuel Baker, the well-known African explorer, has written a letter to the Times, indicting the British government for its policy, which, he declares, has led to the loss of all the posi tions gained in Africa by the enterprise of individual Englishmen. He justifies tho alliance between Kmin Pasha and Major Wissmann, and says it was only natural that Emin should join the German govern ment expedition, which will never imitate the fatal example of the English forces of advancing only to retreat. Sir Samuel points out how the oerman may, in a few months, regain the equatorial nrovince by founding stations at Victoria Syanza, and forming an alliance with Mwanga, King of l lmnua, thus eventually securing control of the White Nile at Gondokoro, while Italy will become master of the situation bv gaining possession of Berber and Kassal.i. Khartoum will then naturally fall. tic couciuues uis leuer uy aecianng mat the equatorial province is of no commercial value. The cost of the transportation of tho products of the province is ten times greater than they are worth. Legitimate purchase ot ivory cannot be made in the province. England, ho declares, may well he content to be an on-looker in that section of Africa. The Cologno Gazette has advices from Mombasa. East Africa, which state that the mission of Lieutenant Ehlers to the Sultan of Manda has resulted successfully. The Sultau and eight other chiefs have boisted the German rlae in their territory. M. Ballot has been appointed to succeed M. Bayol as French agent at Kotonou, ls homey. This change is made because the Dahomians, under threats of death, exacted from M. Bayol promises which Frauce is unable to fulfill. y In order to enforce her prohibition against the lauding of arms in Dahomey, France will establish a blockado along seventyfive miles of the Dahumiau coast. SIX CHINAMEN EXECUTED. Feasted and Then Led to the Block, Where Their Heads "Were Cut Off. London, April 5. Letters received hero from Hong Kong report another wholesale execution in that city recently. The condemned in this case numbered six, and were the last of the miners convicted of inciting a revolt at tho Koutsion mine, at Moutze, in Yunnan province.

This was followed by a rich banquet served to them by tho mandarin, consisting of roast pork and duck, fish and rice, with an abundance of Chinese wines. Tho condemned men were then freed from . their fetters, their bands tied behind their backs, and they were led to the place of execution, surrouuded Lou the way by troops who tired vol leys in the air irom time to time. On tlicii airival tho death fecukiice wa

These men did their duty as well as professional executioners, and tivo of the six heads fell in the biurets at the first stroke of the sabres. The sixta neck offered a little more resistance, and a second stroke was necessary. The execution was witnessed by. immense throngs. GKNKRAL FOREIGN SEWS.

Death of a Favorite Daughter Causes a Rich Chicagoan to Shoot Himself. Chicago, April 5. Marcus C. Stearns, one of Chicago's oldest and wealthiest residents, attempted suicide at his Michiganavenue residence to-day. He fired four bullets into his head, producing wounds from which recovery is impossible. One shot fired into the mouth almost split the tongue in two. The members of the family profess absolute ignorance beyond the fact that for some time Mr. Stearns has been in depressed spirits. The four shots were heard in rapid succession, and a moment later Mr. fctearns was found stretched on his back on the floor in his room, his head in a pool of blood. It is surmised that his depression was due to the recent death of his favorite daughter, the wife of Ex-Mayor Carter H. Harrison.

GERMANY DEPOSED STATESMAN. Great Horaagt '1'M.ld to Prince Hlnmarck Asked to Take a Seat in the Reichstag. Copyright, 1890, bj the New York Associated Pre. Berlin,' April 5. The events of the week have accentuated even more than the resignation of the Chancellor the new era that is opening in German history; Until his actual departure the public wasloathto believe tbat the Emperor was in earnest in parting with Bismarck. Doubt f is no longer possible, and apathy has yielded to an unwonted desire to do homage to the departing statesman. Henceforth attention will be divided between two theaters Friedrichsruhe. representing the grandeur of the edifice of German unity, and Berlin, the center of a new and untried regime. It is impossible that the Emperor could have been an unaffected spectator of the unending tributes of admiration and respect that poured in upon his discarded Minister. It is reported to-day that he has again refused to consent to the publication of Bismarck's letter of resignation. The public still declines to believe that the retirement of Bismarck is final, it being urged that he is by rive years the junior of Gladstone, and may still count upon a decade of activity. The Cartellers have offered to resign two seats In the Reichstag in favor of Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck, but it is certain that the ex-Chancellor and his son will not accept them at present, whatever they may do at a later time. . The Emperor having declared that he will recognize only two parties those for and against him will be likely to disre-, gard the conventional party divisions and to 6eek the assistance of ' the LiberalClerical coalition. Thus Prince Bismarck, in the event of his re-entering the Reichstag, might seem to be in the unusual position of the nominal, if not the actual leader of the opposition. The opening of the Keichstag and the royal speech are awaited with tl'.e keenest interest. In vit w of the certainty of a redistribution of parties, the preparation of new military and colonial measures will probably be delayed until the beginning of May. Herr Hichter is expected to resign from the Liberal committee in the Reichstag, as he has already done from the Liberal committee of the Diet, his personality blocking a mutual approach of the Liberal groups. Dr. Windthorst claims three indispensable concessions in return for his support of the goverment: The return of all religious orders, religious teaching in the schools, and the removal of a discretionary revocable character from all concessions made to the Catholic party. The Centrists are well aware of the strength of their position, and intend to derive every possible advantage therefrom. According to the National Zeitung, tho new military bill provides for a permanent increase of 18,000.000 marks in the annual expenditures. For the moment colonial affairs overshadow home noli tics. Herr Vonderhej'dt, the financial backer of tht. East African company, recently declared in the Wochenblatt that Prince Bismarck's departure was the sign of anew and energetic colonial policy. Herr Keichartd.the explorer. 9 T . am 1 . l x m i in a jeciure.Esnowea mat ju is or tne utmost importance to secure possession of Tabora, which place is further inland than Mpwapwa, in the direction of Lake Tanganyika and the Victoria Nyanza. This and the strengthening of the treaty footing in the German sphere of interest, appear, from inquiry in the most reliable quarters, to be the sole objects of theEminWissmann expedition. Emin has advised the conclusion of a treaty with liwana lleri , in order that his assistance may be secured in the advance of the Germans. The talk of tho recapture of Wadelai is based upon mere surmise. The exact' scope of the expedition will not be known until the bill of supplies is before the Reichstag. What is certain, however, is that the Emperor will decline to consent to the adoption of any colonial policy antagonistic to England. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales the Emperor . did everything possible to show the value he attached to a close friendship between the two nations. Another guarantee in this direction is found in thecomposition of the new colonial department of the Foreign Odice under Dr. Krauel, who is well known through his connection with tho Samoan conference, and who is aided by an etiicient staff of specialists, all of whom are personally acquainted with the extent and character of the British colonies. ' The Emperor's solicitude regarding the army is further shown in an imperial order published to-day, to the effect that, in view of its incompleteness, tho reserve infantry military-officers' system, hitherto pursued, which provides that officers must come from the ranks of the nobility, must bo extended to , include those noble by character, in order that tho sons of honorable middle - class families may hold appointments in the army. Ihe same rule will also apply to the civil service. The Emperor further disapproves the holding of commissions being dependent upon the private income of aspirants, lie therefore decrees tbat the pay of officers of rifles, foot artillery and pioneers shall be increased by 45 marks monthly, that of officers of field artillery by 7 marks, and that of officers of cavalry by 150 marks. At much length he enjoins coumanders to set an example of self -sacrifice to officers, and to check indulgences in unnecessary luxuries the habit of making costly presents and giving frequent banquets, etc. It is the Emperor's pleasure that only commanding generals shall be expected to entertain. It must not occur that Staff officers who have done good service shall feel any anxiety about facing sacrifices which might seem incumbent upon them if- they held regimental commands. In conclusion the Emperor desires that lists of aspirants 6hall be submitted to him, together with the names of officers who do not conform to tho rule prescribing a simpler mode of life, lie declares that habits of luxury must be seriously and firmly opposed, and intends, to a large extent, to judge of the capacity ot .the officers by this standard. The Emperor has also issued regulations looking to the suppression of dueling in the army. The Reichsanzeiger, which is now the vehicle of all official articles formerly printed in the North German Gazette, publishes a series of articles, which are supposed to have been directly inspired by the Emperor, on social politics and reforms. So far no definite projects are mentioned, but the tendency is toward legislation for the regulation of the working day aud wage questions. Emperor William's decree relative to tho array is understood to be directed against the exclusiveness of certain officers and corps, and has made a great impression, especially as tho wording conveys an apparent intention to exclude Jews. taFerdinandBonnke, a clerk, tried toblackmail Bismarck. Bonnke wrote tnreateniug letters to Bismarck, in which he said he would make public some of the ex-Chancellor's pretended ollenses unless a payment was made to him of 50 marks. Bonnke was promptly arrested and to-day sentenced to three months' imprisonment. This is the man who threw a brick at Bismarck a month ago. while the latter was euteringthe royal castle. The Deutche Bank is about to issue

shares in a new German-American trust company to promote and protect investments in American stocks. A MAN OF TEAClV

What rrlnce Illstuarck ild In Twenty Years to !tay he Mot of War. Copjrijrht, lfoo, by the United Prr w London, Aprilo. Herr Wcermann, a lifelong friend of Prince Bismarck, in an interview, to-day, said that tho allusion to Bismarck as the "man of blood and iron' is altogether unjustified, as the whole political career of the ex-Chancellor shows him to have been a man of peace. "Prince Bismarckrs experiences at the Diet of Frankfort," Herr Wcermann continued, "convinced him that there was not room enough in Germany for both Austria and Prussia. It became his object to turn out Austria, and he never concealed his intention to accomplish it. He was ready to make a bargain so long as he was required to concede nothing essential. W hen a bargain on those terms was not to be had he accepted a coullict for which he knew Prussia was ready, and the result justitied his foresight. In the settlement after Sa'iowa he exerted a self-restraint which was, perhaps, his greatest achievement. The soldiers were against him.for they trnsted tlaeir strength. Bisinarck looked far ahead, advocated moderation as the right way to secure tho future good will of temporary enemies. In this way he gained over south Germany within a year or two, and Austria a few years later. "The coullict with France was held to be inevitable after the defeat of Austria. The military leaders were able to take it np at any time. Indeed, the general stall' was ready even in 188(5 to enter Vienna at the risk of having the French army on their llank. But Bismarck preferred moderation. In 1SC3 when the Luxembourg dispute arose tho military administration were for accepting the French challenge. Bismarck was for a compromise if it could be effected honorably. He held that a war postponed may be a war prevented. In 1S70 the condition's were different. The challenge was given to Germanv in a manner which left no alternative. The theory that Bismarck had conjured it up by sorae deeplaid plot is a fiction of his enemies. In the work that followed of divining a political form to German unity the Chancellor kept the most moderate programme. When the terms of peace with France came to bo settled, Bismarck was asain for moderation. The annexation of Alsaco-Loraine was forced upon him by tho soldiers, and by the public opinion created by the historical school. His chief object since the treaty of Frankfort has been to keep the peace while consolidating the power and influence of Germany. He has never taken a narrow view of the means to secure this end. In 1878 he made every possible concession to Russia. When ho afterward saw that he had gained nothing by this course except an uncertain peace, he made the alliance with Austria and Italy which still exists. This enabled him to weather the very dangerous crisis occasioned by the union of the two Bulgarias- It is tho simple truth that for twenty years Prince Bismarck has been a power working for peace." YOUNG HUGO'S LOSSES. Money of Hit Grandslre TJial Sharpers Have Beaten Him Out Of. Paris Letter to the London Truth. I am sorry that Georges Hugo is letting his share ot his grandfather's hard-earned fortune fall into the bands of sharpers. It was not good for the youth (who is now a young man) to feel the eyes of Paris converging on him the day of Victor Hugo's funeral, or, rather, apothesis. There never was such an astounding street opera as that ceremony. Walking by himself, and well apart from every bod else behind his grandfather's hearse, Georges shared his glory. He was a singularly handsome la'd, and a hum of sympathy greeted him all the way from the Arch of Triumph to the Pantheon. After that to be nobody! It was a hard trial. Georges thought of becoming Homebody by adopting a blason and having "Vicomte Hugo" on his card. The stepfather, Lockroy, is a man of wit and of sense, and ridiculed this ambition. Mine. Dubois, a very experienced person, into whose hands Georges fell, encouraged him to live "as a nobleman should." fcho showed a maternal interest in him, setting up to be his Lady Castlewood, and making him more impatient of home criticisms on his conduct and social ambition. He went to her for counsel and consolation, and was so verdant as to think her a marquise of the ancient nobility. Then she led him to the sharpers, who plumed him. Tho parquet does not seem to tind anything in her conduct on which to base a prosecution. She was not bonnd, I suppose, to know that the gang to which she introduced the poet's grandson were what they were. At the same time it seems queer that Georges, soon after he came of age, should pay SO.OOOf, for a furlined mantle, which one of them Fasquier, . the couturier made for her. M. and Mme. Lockroy would bless their stars were young Hugo to commit some political misdemeanor which would lead to his being shut up in Clairvaux prison. Incarceration there is, I am sure, a blessing in disguise to the Due d'Orleans, who gave a deal of trouble to his illustrious parents before and since he came back from India. His cousin, Prince Henri do Chartres, also got into money lenders' hands, and was sent to expiate his folly in a long and arduous tour in central Asia. What Women Like in Men. Ladies Home Journal. , ' Women, I think, like manly, not lady-like men. They like honesty of purpose and consideration. They like men who believe in women. They like their opinions to be thought of some value. They like a man who can be strong as a lion when trouble comes, and yet. if one is nervous and tired, c:u button up a shoe and do it with an amount of consideration that is a mental aud a physical bracer-up. They like a mau who can take hold of the baby, convince it of his power, and get it to sleep after they have been worrying with it and walking with it until their eyes are tired and they feel as if they had no brains. They like a man who is interested in their new dresses, who can give an opinion on the fit, and who is properly indignant at any article written against women. They like a man who knows their innocent weaknesses and caters to them; who will bring home a box of candy, tho last new magazine or the latest puzzle sold on the street, that will do more than its duty in entertaining everybody for the whole evening. They like a man who is tho master of the situation that is, who has brain enough to help a woman to decide what is the best thing to do under the circumstances, and who has wit enough to realize, when one of the fairer sex is slightly stubborn, that persuasion is more powerful than all the arguments in the world. Thev like a man who likes themwho doesn't scorn their opinions, who believes in their good taste, who has confidence in their, truth, and who, best of all. knows that the love promised is given him. That's the sort of a man a woman likes, and her every sigh of satisfaction, as his virtues are mentioned is a little prayer that says: "God bless him." An Heiress to Marry. Philadelphia Inquirer. MissTessie Fair, daughter of tbemillioaaire ex-Senator, is to be married to Hermm Oelrichs, the New York millionaire politician. She is the ereatest heiress in Calif or nia. Though only twenty years old, slit plays several musical instruments very creditably, paints pictures of real artistio merit, is well up in literature, does-embroidery and other fancy work with skill, and has been all over Europe. She is fond of outdoor exercises, is a daring and tireless swimmer, wins more attention than any other young woman, ou the Monetery aud Santa Cruz beaches each succeediug year, is a spirited equestrienne, driving out in a pretty cart behind a little black Hteed called Foxey, and is a good bowler and one of the best tenuis players in the West, where teunis playing is now almost as much an accomplishment as dancing, in which, by the way, hho is perfect. Miss Fair has dark eyes, black hair, a figure above the medium Ueight, fashioned attractively, is graceful in movement, and is, in short, a beautiful woman. Sbe always dresses richly. It is unusual to find one in her position so averse to llattery as she is reputed to be. She is said to be able to judge character quite accurately, aud to dislike whatever does not savor of honesty and sincerity. She has had a score of no mean wooers already. She is just the sort .of woman who will help to push her husbaud up the ladder of reputation. It is

said that he could have had a foreign title more than once bad she cared to accent it. When she is led to the altar she will doubtless wear a string of pearls that formerly belonged to the Empress Eugenic, which is among her onaments. Her diamonds and jewels rank next to Miss Flood'.

Go and live there, inhabit that picturesque adobe dwelling for twenty-four hours, either with or without jungle fever, and your enthusiasm will be considerably modftied. The breeze, tepid and languorous, brings little refreshment to the heavy, steaming atmosphere, charged by blazing sunshine in brief alteration with torreU of rain.

Strange things whizzed, and burred, and boomed through the obscurity, dropping with a sharp thud, as though shot, or alighting with Bticky feet, reluctant of dislodpment, on one's face; all night long there was a rushing, and a crackling, and a creeping, suggestive of unseen invertebrate horrors all around; walls. Moor and root crawled and were horrent with hideous animation. 1 am a natnralistby instinct, and can love and cherish the meanest reptile, but I would not voluntarily choose a hut in a Costa Kican swamp as a shelter for my sick-bed during the delirium of intermittent fever. The Art of Dressing the Hair. Philadelphia Inquirer. Carelessness is largely responsible for so many ugly and unbecoming coitfres. A woman from bheer indolence falls into the habit ot twisting her locks into a hard littlo knot behind and letting the front go until it becomes so many aggressive spears. To be comfortable is the motto of this sister, whom, upon inspection, you. lind to be in features and complexion really deserving the title of a Sretty woman, aud yet she has, by her inili'erence to ellects, honestly earned the reputation of extreme plainness, while the witch, with irregular features and a skin by no means in the rose-leaf order, has succeeded in achieving a piquant style of beauty that is, after all, to be traced to the soft, liutly charm of a well-dressed head. The front hair brnthed back from tha forehead, 'a la pompadour." imparts an appearance of frankness to the face and is na altogether desirable mode, provided the hair grows low and in classical curves upon, the forehead. The roll is no longer smooth, but a hundred tiny waves and crinkles betray the use of crimping pins. Men seem especially to delight iu a smooth whita brow that refuses to be shadowed by the fashionable bang. Let the hair be parted in the center of the forehead and the sunniest face assumes at once an air of prim beauty that borders on the severe. Take the comb, and with a littlo twist of the curly locks you have a coquettish side part that takes fully ten years from the face so adorned. The woman who has a large head and full face should, in charity to her personal charms, dress her hair close to the sides of tho head, while the slender girl may fairly shower her email top-knot with curls and crimps, waveH and ringlets. "1 despise false hair," is the verdict of womankind in general. This is all well enough in its way, but suppose, throush an oversight, careless nature has deprived you, of luxurious locks or the cruel and relent less hand of time is robbintryon of woman's prettiest ornament, what thenT You would indeed be foolish to refuse to accept from tho widespread variety of charming and ingenious desicns something to supply tha delicienc'. Enter a fashionahlo hair-dresser's establishment of the present day and yon will lind a choice as rare and perfect as if you had visited the bazars of a dozen continental cities.
