rarliamcnt, affirming "that the tmglo Ami unanimous will of tho Ionian peoplo hAs "been and is for their - nnion with th kingdom of Greece." Tho same principles which justified tho cession of th Ionian islands to Greece condemn the cession of Heligoland to Germany. '' . If it bo true, a all the higher authorities nnite in asserting, that the Holigolanders have h strongest possible objection to Being transferred from iiritish to German rule. Mr. Gladstone has himself laid down th golden rule by which questions of this kind should b determined. In an articlo on "Germany, France and England." which was published in th Edinburg Eeviewfor October, 1370. ho used the following remarkable words: "We hear much of the civilization of the Germans. Let them remember that Italy has been built up. at least from 18C0 onwards, upon the groundwork of th expressed desires of the people of its several portions; that England surrendered possession of the Ionian islands in deference to the popular desire expressed through tho representative chamber to be united with Greece; that even the Emperor Napoleon took Savoy and Nice under a cover of a voto as to which no one can eav thai it cleaTly belied the real public sentiment. This is surely a great advance on tho old and cruel practice of treating the population of a civilized European country as mere chattels." The language had reference to the proposed annexation of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany, but it eaually applies mntales mutandis to the proposed appropriation by Germany of the Island of Heligoland. The handing over of the island to Germany is to be made an occasion of elaborate ceremony on the part of both powers. Two imposing ileets. one having on board the Emperor of Germany, and the other being under command of the Duke of Edinburgh, will arrive oil the island simultaneously. The British Hag will be first sainted by the German tleet. an the island will then bo formally handed over. The German flag will next be hoisted and will in turn be saluted by the British lieet. The o Ulcers of the British squadron will subsequently dine on the German flag-ship in order to meet the Emperor. ; GENERAL FOREIGN KEWS.

Apathy of British Tories William Henry Smith, the Commons leader, to Retire. London, July 5. The apathy displayed by the Tories in Parliament is explained by the leaders of the party as dne to the fact that nearly one-third of them have no intention, of seeking re-election, and are, therefore, indifferent to the needs of the party or the wishes of their constituents. This is particularly true of many of the younger members, who, now that the novelty of their position has worn off. have become restive under the party lash, and find it irksome to apply themselves to the dry routine of politics. The retirement of Mr. William Henry Smith from the government leadership in the House of Commons and his elevation to the peerage are no longer matters of speculation and coujectnre. It is announced that the change will be made within a very short time, Mr. Smith assuming the title of Lord Walton. The question of the succession to the leadership in the House is still debatable. If Lord Salisbury can have his own way in the matter Mr. Balfour will be assigned to the responsible position, but there are others whose wishes must he consulted in the interest of harmony on the government benches, which is especially desirable, not to say absolutely essential, just now, and the distinction may fall upon other shoulders. MhilUu Convicted. , Taris, July 5. The trial of the Nihilists resulted in the conviction of Reinstein, Nahachidze, Katchintzll. Lavrenius. Levoft and Orlowski, each of whom was sentenced to three years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of 200 francs. - Anna, the wife of Reinstein. and a female physician named Fromberg, wero acquitted. When the sentence was pronounced Orlowski declared that he would be happier in a French prison than in the mines of Liberia. Reinstein said he had refused to join in any plot, because France bad. given him a refuge, and because he thought that a conspiracy against the Russian government ought to be carried on only in Russia. Ever since he had been in Liberia he had. devoted his life to the cause of Nihilism.' l'robable Strike of Telegraph Operators. London, July 5. The agitation among the telegraph operators for higher wages is assuming serious propor tions, and is causing great delay in the service. It is rumored-to-day that the British government will apply to the American telegraph companies for a large force of operators in case t he dissatisfied men go on a strike. The employes are indignant oyer this proposed action, and will request tneir American craftsmen not to help the government to grind them down to starvation wages. Several employes were discharged to-day for participating in the indignation meetings. A wholesale strike is expected on Monday. Ilrit&ln'a African Possessions. London, July 5. Tho extent of territory acquired by England in Africa under the agreement with Germany is estimated by Henry M. Stanley at (0,000 square miles, besides the protectorate of Zanzibar. Tho attitude toward France is that the agreement with Germany will be carried out whether France likes it or not, but that England would rather have France pleased than displeased. Such, in substance, is the quasi-oiitcial language of the London Standard. France is also engaged in a small frontier dispute with Holland rearding tho boundary between French and utch Guiana, in South America. 1'reparing to Gobble Slam. London, July 3. Having completed the process of swallowing the kingdom of Burmah, England is now getting up a frontier dispute with the adjoining kingdom of Siam. The dispute is yet in its infancy, but with careful nursing will provide in due time a pretext for more annexation. Siam. although not a rich country as at present admiuistered. yields a handsbme revenue to its ruler, and would be a desirable addition to British Farther India. In Honor of American Riflemen. Berlin, July 5. Two thousand persons attended a kommers," which was given in th winter garden of the Central Hotel tonight, in honor of the visiting American riilemen. Councillor Horwitz made a speech, in which . he referred to the American marksmen in very complimentary terras. A band from the guards, led by Waldemann. played national airs, and all present joined in singing "Deutschland Leber Alles." A Magistrate's Huge Task. London, July 5. The magistrate sitting at the Thames Folice Court has before him a case requiring him to inspect, separately, eleven thousand pictures, which are alleged to be indecent, with the object of rejecting all that are not strictly .classical. The pictures are photographs taken from life, and form a collection which was seized as the instance of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Spain's New Cabinet. Madrid, July 5.

It is reported that tho inability of Major Wissmann to return to Africa was due to the morphine habit that he contracted during his long service in tho JJark Continent. He suffered from insomnia to such an extent that ho was obliged to resort to the narcotic. Cable Notes.

The

rule was almost a dead letter until Franco began to enforce her treaty rights on the Newfoundland coast. A drought at Oznluma. near Tainpico, Mexico, has caused the death of ten thousand cattle. Emperor William has conferred the colonelcy of tho Fourteenth Prussian Hussars, formerly held by tbe Duke of Aosta, upon the Crown Prince of Denmark. The wages of the Northumberland miners have been increased per cent. This makes an advance of SO per cent, in the wanes of the men within a few months. The German Students Club at Prague subscribed 1,000 marks to the Bismarck memorial fund. The local police ordered tho club dissolved unless the members canceled their subscription?. A queer English invention to be nsed in war is a 'smoke rocket," to be used to screen the advance of a body of troops by throwing smoke in the enemies' eyes as it were. It is pronounced a success. Mr. F. C. Barnard's new book burlesquing Mr. Stanley's "In Darkest Africa," has made an immense hit in England Thousands of conies have already been sold, and tho demand for the work is unabated. Tiie Freisinnige Zeitung asserts that Emperor William, on his journey from Berlin to Kiel, on the night of June 24. had a long interview with Prince Bismarck at Schwarzenhach, the station before reaching Freidrichsruhe. The statement is doubtful. Princess Dolgorouki has returned to St. Petersburg through Berlin under permission from the Czar. She has petitioned the Czar to appoint her son, the Czar's half brother, as an otlicer in the guards. The Czar has ordered the Prince to join as a private. A short time ago the sum of 12,000 marks was stolen from live Chinese officers who are studying in Berlin. Every effort was made to detect the thief, but without success, and the losers bad about given up hope of recovering the money, when the matter was brought to the notice of the Emperor, and be has made good the loss to the officers from his personal funds. UElTlIAPwT. Robert If. Bishop, Professor Emeritus and Secretary of Miami University. Cincinnati, July 5. Prof. Robert II. Bishop died to-day at his residence in Oxford, O.. from paralysis. His father, Kobert Hamilton Bishop, a graduate of Edinburgh University, Scotland, came to New York in 1801, preached there awhile, then emigrated to Ohio, and a year or two later took charge of Transylvania University at Lexington, Ky., where Prof. Kobert H. Bishop was born on Aug. 20. 1815. In 1824 the father of Professor Bishop removed to this place to assume the presidency of Miami University, then just setting out on its career. Robert H. Bishop, jr.. graduated at Oxford in

1S31, at the age of sixteen, and went to South Hanover, Ind., to study tor the ministry, but was made professor of mathematics in the college at that place. In 1825 he returned to Oxford, opened a book store and printed a paper. From 1S3S to 1852 he was hrst an assistant and then principal of Miami University Grammar-school. In 1852 he became professor of Latin in the university, in which position he remained till 1S73, and from that date to his death was emeritus professor of Latin in the university. In 1855 he was made secretary of the board of trustees, in which position he remained till his death. About a year ago he was stricken with paralysis, and a few months ago received another stroke, which resulted in his death. No professor of Miami University was more vividly remembered by students than Professor Bishop, and none was more respected. He had by. nature a keen insight into character. As drill-master in Latin he had few equals. As professor and as a citizen he was esteemed for his unconscious earnestness, his unfeined sincerity, as well as his fine judgment, his thorough manliness and tbe warmth of his big heart. The alumni of Miami University, among whom were President Harrison, Secretary Noble and Minister Whitelaw Reid, were accustomed to hold a yearly meeting under the walnut trees on the lawn of Professor Bishop's residence. To all of these the announcement of his death comes as. a personal loss. - Colonel . A. Harris. Cincinnati, July 5. Col. L. A. Harris died this morning. He was a member of tbe board of managers of the National Soldiers' Homes. He served with distinction during the war of the rebellion; is an exmayor of Cincinnati, and was atone time collector of internal revenue in this district. Hi ailment was chronic, but not considered alarmin?. He had prepared to leave to-night for Kennebeck, Me., for recuperation. . , Eduln Chadwlck. London, Jnlr 5.

Cincinnati coutiuues to swine along at a comparatively steady gait, though Philadelphia has given tho Ohio team a slight set-back the past week by winning two games out of three. Tho Phillies by this little spurt have gaiucd a lap on the leaders, who aro still quite a ways in advance, however, llrooklyn is pressing Philadelphia hard for second place. while Boston is not far away in fourth. Chicago is a fairly good lifth, but New York is a baa sixth and only saved from going lower by tho weakness 4of Cleveland aud Pittsburg. Mutric's men remain badly crippled, and will have to do sorao tall hustling now to get in tho race, as tho seaHon is nearly half over. Pittsburg is worse than no club at all. The Western clubs all open in th East to-morrow, as follows: Chicairo at New York, Pittsburg at Boston, Cincinnati at Philadelphia and Cleveland at ilrooklyu. Tho struggle between Cincinnati aud Philadelphia will be watched with special interest. Th Brotherhood race is a very pretty and exciting one. Boston leads by a narrow margin, with Chicago at her heels. Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Pittsburg are tied for third place, while New, York is liable to join tho trio at any moment, being only a few points behind them. Cleveland is not altogether out of tho race, but Buffalo certainly is. Tho latter club opens in New York to-morrow, while Chicago plays at Brooklyn. Cleveland at Boston, and Pittsburg at Philadelphia. Evansville is almost sure to win the In terstate League pennant, though Hurling

ton is close np just at present. Still, tho latter team: cannot keep up the pace, and Terre Haute is liable to beat them out. League. ' Won.

PfilNTEKS AND PRESSMEN

Their Controversy Orerthe Formation of a Union Not Likely to Cause a Strike, How' Public Printer Palmer Views the Matter New Method Suggested for Naming and Classifying Oar War Vessels. WILL BE NO STRIKE. Probability that the Ditputa Between Printers and Pressmen Will Soon Be Adjusted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 5. There will be no strike of the compositors and book-binders at the Government Printing Office on account of the controversy over the organiza- , tion of a pressman's union. Pnblic Printer Palmer stated to your correspondent this afternoon that he did not regard the statement or the complaint made by a committee from the International Typographical Union respecting the organization of a pressmen's union, as in the nature of a direct demand for the discharge of pressmen, and that he did not feel that it was bis duty to take any action in the matter. He believed the controversey and trouble should be settled in the organization, and that it was not his office to arbitrate questions in dispute among the type-setters and pressmen. Mr. Palmer said that he eould not see any objections to the pressmen organizing a union of their own, as they undoubtedly had a perfect right to take out a charter and complete the organization of a distinctive union, the same as was organized by the compositors. He had no ideaof discharging the pressmen, and has no idea that the typographical union will insist upon such actiou, nor does he fear a strike. Mr. Palmer refused to say what he would do if, under tbe circumstances, there should be a demand made for the discharge of the pressmen who were leaders in the organization of the union, saying that he would meet the question when it was presented to him. if indeed, it ever was presented. The president of the nnion said to-day that no rash or ill-advised action would be taken; he regards, however, the organization of a pressmen's union as inimical to the typographical union's interests. It is believed that in view of the fact that a congressional investigation may be ordered if this controversy is pushed further, that it will drop where it now stands. WAR-SHIP N03IENCLATUKE. How It Is Proposed to Designate the Different Types of Vessels in Our Navy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 5. In a recent report on the bpi passed by the Senate some time ago, in relation to the naming of new vessels of war, the House naval . committee says it has come to the conclusion that the nomenclature employed in the Senate bill in designation of types of vessels is not so distinctive and specific as to accomplish the object of having the name clearly indicate the characteristic of each vessel. For instance, the designation of a vessel as a "battle-shin" might easily embrace "armored coastdefensevessels," and under the designation of "cruiser"' we should have, according to the latest official classification, vessels running in size and power all the way from the 8,500-ton armored cruiser to the cruisers Nos. 12 and 13 of only 1,050 tons displacement. The committee therefore amended the Senate bill so as to provide that "vessels of the first rate shall be named after States of tbe Union, vessels of the second rate after cities of the United States, vessels of the third rate after important events or names connected with tho naval history of the United States, and vessels of the fourth rate after lakes and rivers of the United States." MINOR MATTERS. Congressman Owen's Absence from the House on Wednesday Due to a Delayed Train. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 5. Kepresentative Owen was about the Capitol to-day clearing up his correspondence. He was very much vexed over not getting here in time to vote for the elections bill on Wednesday , night. He left his home at Logansport early on Tuesday afternoon, and should have been here on Wednesday afternoon some hours before the time fixed for the tinal vote. In Ohio there was an accident on the railroad, and a washout, necessitating tbe backing of tbe train a long distance and causing a great many and long delays. He was tin ally laid over to another tram at Harrisbnrg, Pa., where he learned the elections bill had been passed. He did not reach Washington till Thursday night, twenty -six or twenty-eight hours after the previous question had been called and the bill passed. Mr. Owen was much gratified to learn the bill had a good majority without him, but he deeply regrots his absence. Citizenship Rights of naif-Breed Choc taws. Washington, July 5. Assistant Attorney-general Shields, of the Interior Department, has rendered a decision in the case of Glenn, Tucker and other persons whoso claims for citizenship in the Choctaw Nation were rejected by the local Choctaw tribunal organized for the purpose of deciding the status of children of a half-bfeed Choctaw woman who married a white man. They based their elaira to citizenship upon the fact of their having Indian blood, aud insisted that these claims wero improperly rejected. The Assistant Attorney - general says in his opinion, among other things, "it would 6eem reasonable that the prcdominanceof blood should determine the race, and the common law rule should prevail, and tbe condition of tho children follow that of the father" His opinion is that the clajms should be rejected. ' Another Conference Over the Stiver Bill. Washington, July 5. The Republican members of the conference committee on the silver bill were in session to-day. It was the intention to hold a regular conference, but Kepresentative Bland of the House conferees and Senator Harris of the Senate cqnferees were both absent.

Views of Senator George as to What the Proposed ew Constitution Should Provide For. Vicksburg, Miss., July 5. A letter from Senator George formulating bis plan for revising the Constitution of Mississippi will appear in tbe Commercial-Herald to-mor row. After summarizing the difficulties of the situation, he indicates four cardinal principles that must govern the constitu tional convention: First That good government in Missis sippi can come only from the predominance of influence and political powerin the white race. Second That such predominance must be formed on tho essential truth of the equalitv and Voting power of all who are entitled to suffrage. Third That the civil and political ricnts of the colored race, as guaranteed by the Constitution of tho United btates, are not to be denied or abridged, but protected. Their incapacity must be acknowledged again to the end that their rights ana tho rights of the other race may be protected. FourthThat the end sought to be attained is the framing of a constitution, subject to the limitations of the Constitution of the United States, with such forms and endowed with such powers as 6hall make it the instrument to protect life, liberty and property and secure the advancement and welfare of all the people of Mississippi. , In order to secure those essentials he advocates a return to citj and town representation as under the Constitution of 1S30. This principle, he thinks, might be extended so as to embrace other sub-divisions of counties. In this way these counties or sections which would lose in their relative political power, might bo very largely compensated. The object would be to secure safe constituencies, in which the legislative powers of the State should be vested, and m equalizing as far as may be the political influence and power of tne different sections of the State.

The aspect of these boundless wastes rolling away in scarcely perceptible undulations, and in thodistanceminglingthe gray of their snows with tbe gray of the skies, at tirst gave the impression that Greenland was a uniform plateau, a sort of horizontal table. The belief now prevails that tho rocky surface of the land is, on the contrary, carved into mountains and hills, valleys aud gorges, but that the plastio snows and ice have gradually filled up al the cavities, which now show only in slight sinuosities on the surface. Allowing to the whole mass of the ice-cap an averajco thickness of tive hundred feet, it would represent a total volume of about 150.000 cubic miles. The sertner suak, or "great! ice" of the Grceulanders, flows like asphalt or tar with extreme slowness seaward, while the surface is gradually leveled by tho snow falling during the course of ages and distributed by the winds. In the interior of tho country the surface of thn ico and snow is as smooth as it it were polished, looking like "the undisturbed surface of a frozen ocean, the long but not high billows of which, rolling from east to west, are not easily distinguishable to the eye.?r Nevertheless, the exterior form of the icecap has been greatly diversified, at least on its outer edg whore in many places it ia difficult to cross, or even quite impassable. The action of lateral pressure, of heat produced by the tremendous friction, of evaporation and titration, has often broken tho surface into innumerable cones a few yards high, in form and color resembling the tents of an encampment. Joseph Jefferson's Wealth. The Epoch. The richest actor in this country to-day is, undoubtedly, Joseph Jefferson. Ldwia liooth is supposed to bave more money, but this is an error. Mr. liooth has earned large sums, but, while modest enonnh in his own life, ho has expended them generously, and besides, ha disbursed a fortunn to liquidate the indebtedness incurred during his disastrous managerial career in this city. Mr. JetVersou, on the other hand, has ben a steady accumulator. From tho time he began to make more than a living as an nctor, ho has saved feorae of tho surplus. He has lived well, but not extravagantly. Ho has provided generously for his family. but not wastefully. Such investments as he has mad have been wiae ones. and. whatever speculating he may have indulged in, has averaged a prolit. Nobody but himself knows how much he is worth. He probably knows it to a cent, for, while not penurious, ho is txact and business-like. One of the men closest to him, and certainly aost conversant with his business, remarked th other day that Jefferson must bo a millionaire, if not doublv so. Probably the single million is nearest to it. Considering how easy ho takes life, how little trouble ho goes to to create sensational popularity for himself, and the brevity of hi working seasons (for he never plays more than forty weeks in a year, and us little more than thirty as he can manage in his engagements), this financial result is as worthy ot note as hhimaelf ia worthy of tho monefr
