A number of Turkish soldier, in Armenia, who were proceeding from their camp to a well to draw water, were fired upon from ambush by a party of Christians, and live of tho Turks were killed. A dispatch from Tiflis to the Daily Jsews says that the Armenian Bishop of Erzeroum was among those killed in the riot on June 20. and that his death has roused the Armenians to the highest pitch of excitement. The whole country is in a state of anarchy. Business is at a stand-still and traveling is impracticable.

The Matinons Grenadier Guards IlastleA Off ' to Bermuda An Exhibition. of Temper. " London, July 22. Tho second battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which was ordered to Bermuda on account of insubordination among the members of the battalion, paraded at day-break this morning, and marched to the Victoria railway, station to begin their journey. They were accompanied from the-barracks to the station by twenty thousand civilians, who cheered them incessantly. The troops proceeded by rail to Chatham, where they embarked on the transport Tamar, which will convey them to their destination. During the final review of the Guards yesterday by the .commander-in-chief there were many scenes of disorder among the men. Those! who had received sentence of punishment for their mutinous conduct were especially recalcitrant. They clucked from their breasts the medals won in tho Egyptian campaign, and threw them across the parade ground. Many military men criticise the authorities severely for parading the men at all. and argue that they should not have been given an opportunity to exhibit their temper, but should have been packed out of the country as quietly and ignominiously as possible. A troop ship will call at Portsmouth tomorrow for the purpose of taking on board the families of the exiled guards, who are to follow the men to Bermuda. Neglected Wrongs of Newfoundlanders. London, July 22. -In an interview the Newfoundland Premier, Sir William Whiteway, stated that the delegates recently arriving from that province were not authorized to represent tho people. They belonged to a minor party, and their views could not be taken as fairly reflecting those of the people at large. The Premier do clared that England had been shamefully remiss in regard to protecting the rights of her Newfoundland subjects. There could hardly be a doubt that, looking at the matter from a purely material stand-point, Newfoundland would consult her own interests if she should join the United States. He hoped that annexation would never take place, but such an event was certainly possible unless England failed to redress the wrongs of the Newfoundlanders, who had hitherto been among the most loyal of the colonists. In Favor of International Arbitration. L.ONPON, July 22. The parliamentary conference of international arbitration was opened to-dayv Lord Herschell presiding. The Earl of Aberdeen o He red a motion declaring that the conference hails the concurrent resolution of both houses of the American Congress as a fitting reply to the address from 234 members of the British House of Commons requesting President Harrison to negotiate with tho powers for the purpose of concluding treaties of arbitration, and congratulates the autonomous States of America, which, in the pan-American congress, agreed to a treaty providing for arbitration, which now awaits ratification. The motion was carried, as was also a resolution rejoicing in the eftorts to conclude a treaty of arbitration between France and America. Fell In Love with Two Samoans. Berlin. July 22.

Haucko was a healthy man, and said to be worth ten million marks. The police stopped tho funeral and held the body for an autopsy. Cunningham, the manager of the circus, has sued the estate for 10U.00U marks damages for the loss of his 6avages. Fight Iletween Arabs and Spaniards. ' Madrid, July 22.

Sir John Lubbock has been elected chairman of the London County Council to till the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lord Hosebery. Captain Killer, of the German army, has been deprived of his rank and uniform for issuing a pamphlet in which he aspersed the military forces of the empire. The Porte has declined to give the satisfaction demauded by Servia for murder of the Servian consul at Pristina, or to compensate the widow of the murdered man. As an instance of the improved relations between Germany and France it is stated that a (stench commodore was recently allowed to inspect the fortifications at Kiel, and was very cordially received. Queen Natalie of Servia is completely cast down by her failure to procure a rehearing in her divorce case, fcfbo has given up the struggle and will go into retirement at the residence of her aunt, in Bessarabia. Kussia has completed arrangements for the immediate construction of a great naval harbor at Libau, on the Baltic, and the considerable enlargement of the fortifications there. Several military railway lines will also be built, connecting Libau with the principal interior cities and making it possible to throw a large force to any point for purposes of mobilization by these laciJi-

Iloosiers in Washington Will Return to Register Under the New Law. Views of Senator Hale on Partial Reciprocity with South and Central American NationsIndians Not Wanted bj Western States. WXLIi RETURN TO REGISTER. Indiana Republican in Washington Will Take No Chances on Lofting Their Votes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 21. Some of the department employes who are voters in the State of Indiana have been uncertain as to their political status as defined in Section 13 of tho now election law of that State. This is an act passed by the last State Legislaturs requiring voters to return to the State and register ninety days before tho election; otherwise their ballots would not bo received on-election day. Determined to obtain the best legal opinion possible to guide them, Indianians have communicated with one of the high officials of the State regarding the matter. A reply has been received, to the effect that Section 13 of the election law is believed to be illegal, and that the State Supreme Court, at its session in September next, will pronounce it unconstitutional. A conference of lawyers was held in Indianapolis a day or two ago, and they, at that time, were unanimously of the .opinion that the government employes would cot have to return this summer to securo the auditor's certificate, but that it would be sufficient if that certificate was procured by them before ottering to vote. It was , held that every man who was assessed in the spring of. 1S80 was still on the tax duplicates as a tax-payer, because the last installment of his taxes was not payable until next November. A tax-payer, either on polls or property, if not assessed in the spring of 1810, it was contended, could notify his county auditor of that fact and demand that he be put on the list before tax-paying time. It was decided, therefore, that the employes could not bo crowded out in any way. At a meeting of the Indiana Republican Club, to-night, the provisions of the new law were explained to thoso present. It . was determined to take no risks, and every one who did not know himself to be on the tax duplicate, and thereby protected in his Tight to vote, doclared his intention of going home to register in order to meet the requirements of the law. Arrangements have been made for reduced railway rates for thoso desiring to visit Indiana to resistor, and the indications are that quite a number will go home for that purpose. PARTIAL RECIPROCITY. Mr. Blaine's Views on the Subject Ardently Supported by Senator Eugene Hale. Ellsworth, Me., July 22. Senator En gene Hale, one of Mr. Blaine's stanchest supporters, is at his home here for a few days of much-needed rest. In an interview on tho tariff issue to-day he said: "It is the duty of tho Republican Senate to stick to the bill until it is completed and passed. It will not necessarily be the McKinley, but will retain all its good features. The Seuate did not receive the bill with the prestige that would have attached to it had it been reasonably debated and if an actual tost of the important provisions had been made in the House. Justice cannot be done to any important measure in a committee or in any body without a full and free discussion. This the bill, as it came from the Houso, did not have. The proposition which will be dobated and passed upon by the Senate will be one to secure a foothold in the South and Central American nations and to get their markets for our goods. This does not in any way interrupt the working of the protective system, nor is it inconsistent with a protective tariff. "The free-traders are very fond of declarclaring that the statement made by Mr. Blaine and, so far as can be judged by his messages, approved by the President involved free trade or reciprocity with the countries of the old world. This has no fouudationNvhatever. The protective tariff gives its benefits to our labor, which in the same fields has a competitor in the under-paid laborers of European countries, who manufacture the same things and stand ready, if they can break down the protective system, to take control of our markets and drive out our labor. "The situation in Central and South America is precisely the opposite. They fnrnish the products which we do not sunply and which we need. We produce and mannfacturo tho things they need and which they cannot produce. Their market is largely in the hands of Great Britain and France, and tho money which we pay for their, products goes to these countries. Instead of paying for their products in money, which goes to Europe, we ought to give in exchange ours. We ought by treaty or by legislation so fix business relations between us that their goods will come to us aud our (roods go to them. 'Taking the question of sugar alono, my impression is that a movement should now be made with reference to sugar, not involving it with tho wool Question. Mr. Blaine is right in saying that if we give to South America, Cuba and Porto Kico an open market for sugar without terms being imposed we shall havo no hold on those countries to induce them to let our products freely into their ports. I believe it to be a fact that preparations tending to negotiations with some of those countries, which would have resulted in reciprocity, fell to the ground in the winter because the representatives of these countries discovered from tho provisions of the McKinley bill that they would get the benefit of free sugar without being asked anything in return. "Whon we open tho ports of the United States to the sugar of South America, Cuba and Porto Kico, the benefits which they will derive from such a policy ought to bo paid for by admitting the bread at litis of the West, the agricultural implements manufactured all over the country, the petroleum of the Middle States, the lumber from Maine, and the manufacture of cottons aud woolen9. and perhaps a few other articles. The duties laid in Spanish ports upon American Hour alone are so enormous that the sugar products of theirs ought to be held where they now are till the enormous duties which they levy on American Hour shall be wholly or partially removed." In speaking of the commerce of the United States, he said that a new dav had dawned upon this country since ship-building had been revived. ENU3IERATORS AND THEIR PAY. How the Accounts Are Made Oat and Checks Issued Work of the "Hustlers. Washington Special to 8L Louis Globe-Democrat. Tho Census Office is now figuring out the accounts of the 50,000 enumerators who havo just finished their work. The name and address of each one of these temporary employes of the government are in possession of J. C. Stoddard, the disbursing clerk of the Census Office. As soon as he receives the necessary voucher and it is approved by Superintendent Porter he makes out a check directing tho United States Treasurer or the assistant treasurer in Now York to pay the person named tho sum due him. It will be some time before any large proportion of tho entire number of enumerators receive their pay for their part of tho work of taking the census. The work of de termining how much is due to each man is one of some magnitude. In the population division of the Census Office there is a force of clerks who do nothing else but determine how much is due the enumerators. The compensation is fixed by law 2 cents for each name enumerated, 5 cents for each soldier but the clerks aro obliged to examine every schedule and make a computation as to the number of persons enumerated and the different classes, and in this way the amount due to each enumerator is determined. As tho schedules are in the hauds of clerks who are making the count of the population, and as this work takes precedence over everything else, the enumerators' accounts have to wait. However, more rapid progress will now be made with these ac counts, and when the work is fairly begun it is expected that the accounts of 00

enumerators will be settled each day. Mr.

Stoddard has made arrangements to pay that number, and at this rate it will take between three and four months to reach the last account. ' y As the rough count of the population of the District was the first completed by the Census Ofiice, the accounts of the District enumerators were the first settled. So far, of the 1C6 enumerators employed in the work in this District ninety have been paid. The average pay received by each enumerator for his two weeks work was about 40. The biggest pay will be paid to a Chicago enumerator, lie returned as the result of his two weeks' work 0,933 names. His district contained" a number of hotels and boarding-houses, and did not necessitate much traveling about. Soveral other Chicago enumerators returned about live thousand names each. The suspicions of Superintendent Porter were aroused by these large returns made by individual enumerators, and he sent an inspector toquietly investigate. The inspector reports that the showing made by these enumerators was legitimate, and the conclusion is drawn that they were simply hustlers with easy territory to work. Those enumerators of Chicago who had districts out toward the city limits do not show so large lists. They will get about the samo pay as enumerators in other pastoral regionsabout $4 a day. PAIRS IN THE HOUSE. now the Democrats tost Their Opportunity to Heat the Elections Hill. Washington Special. During the recent discussion and vote upon the federal elections bill in the House a great deal of trouble and misunderstanding was aroused over the question of "members pairs. On the day that Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, ottered an amendment the elfect of which would have been to eliminate tho feature which the Democrats thought most objectionable the rollcall disclosed the absence of a large number of members, who, it was afterward found, where not paired. Many of them were in the city, some within a stone's throw of the Capitol building. Tho result of their absence was that the Democrats missed their oppottunitv to nullify the bill at the start. Several Democratic papers undertook, on the day following the vote, to read the erring members a lesson in party discipline, and severely rebuked them for leaving the House withoutbeingpaired. One member has resented the rebuke by threatening to kill a correspondent. There is absolutely no protection thrown about the matter of arranging pairs in the House. The only rule upon the .subject says that after tho first call of the day, all pairs shall be announced by the Clerk. The practice is for members making the pairs to hand tho announcement of them to the Clork, who sees they are printed in the Kecord. No questions are asked, and' the members fix up the pairs to suit themselves. Thus, when- a member is absent and is not paired he can telegraph to a colleague and find some member on the other side in the -same situation, when it is arranged that tho Record shall state that these two absent members were paired. One member who went to Europewithont taking the precaution to get a pair was nsed to protect half a dozen members in one day. It was also found that ho was paired with a Democrat who never knew the other man was absent from Washington. MINOR BIATTERS. ' . ii.f Western Senators Say Their States Do Not Want Indians Within Their Confines. Washington, July 22. The Senate spent the day in discussing the Indian appropriation bill. Several amendments were offered and adopted in relation to the pay ment of moneys due certain tribes and the division of reservations. - A paragraph having been reached in regard to removal of the northern band of Cheyennes to a permanent settlement together upon one of the existing reservations in. South Dakota, Wyoming or Montana, a motion was made by Mr. Pettigrew to strike out South Dakota. He said there were already 3QP0 Indiaus iu that State, and that no more Indians were wanted there. --t,'v"How long will they last?' Mr. Morgan queried, and he added, "I think they will have a short shift." Mr. Power remarked that Montana did not want them either. Mr. Spooner Who does want them? Mr. Power I hope that South Dakota will not bo fenced out. I am willing to leave the question as to where these Indians aro to be located to a commission. After further discussion the names of the three States were struck out and the paragraph was chauged so as to make the clause read: "For the removal of said northern band of Cheyenne Indians to a permanent settlement upon any of the existing reservations.'' Having disposed of thirty-live pages of the bill exactly one-half the bill was laid asido until to-morrow, and the Senate adjourned. Willing to Let the First Count Stand. Washington, July 22. Superintendent Porter has presented, to Secretary Noble the request of the citizens of Kansas City that tho first count of the population of that city be regarded as tne official count; and he recommends that this request be granted. As the result of a recount of a number of districts in that city the returns showed a population of 1,200 less than waa ascertained by tho first count. The census returns of the entire State of Pennsylvania have been received at the Census Othee. This is the first State to send in its full returns. According to the recount of the population of Milwaukee, made since the recent investigation, by which about fourthousand names were added to the lists, tho population of that city is 2O0,C0S. The census of 1SS0 showed a population of 115,587, an increase during the last decade of 90,721. Military Bills Reported Adversely. Washington, July 22. Representative Cutcheon, from the committee on military affairs, to-day reported adversely the following bills affecting the personnel of the army: To regulate promotion to the heads of the staff department of the army: to authorize tho promotion of certain assistant surgeons after twenty years of service; to increase the efficiency of the ordinance department; to retire certain officers for disability, and for the relief of otlicers who have sorved continuously in tho grade of lieutenant for tifteen or twenty years without promotion. ' Will Fight for Retention of Major Steele.' ' Special to the Indianapolis journal. ". Washington, July 22. Congressman Owen, in conversation with the Journal correspondent this afternoon, said: "Very much dissatisfaction exists in the House over the ac tion of the Senate in striking the name of Major George W. Steele from the board of managers for the National Soldiers Home, and a stiff tight will be made in the House to reinstate his name, when the 'bill comes up for concurrence in the amendments on Thursday. The action of the Senate is unusual and unwarranted.' Patents Issued to Iloosler Inventors. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. '. Washington, July 22.

conflicting Claims to the congressional nomination in the First Tennessee district, in which Kepresentativo Alf Taylor and ex-Kepresentative K. K. Butler claim each that he is the regular nominee. Tho committee decided unanimously in favor of Taylor. The committee undertook this investigation without solicitation. Taylor presented a statement and agreed to abide by the committee's decision, but Butler refused to come before the committee or recognize its authority. General Notes. The Senate bill giving a pension of $2,000 a year to Mrs. Jessie Fremont was reported from the committee on pensions and placed on the Senate calendar to-day. Representative Bingham, of Pennsylvania, to-day reported favorably from the House committee on postottices a bill to create the office of Fourth Assistant Postmaster-general at a salary of $4,000 per annum.

It is expected that the President, tho Secretary of War, General Schotield and others will attend theencampmentof the National Guard of Pennsylvania at Mount Gretna, on Thursday. A favorable report has been ordered by tho House committee on claims on the Senate appropriation of 87.350 to reimburse Major Bash. U. S. A., for money stolen from him at Antelope Springs, Wyo., in 1SSS. The Senate committee on pensions to-day ordered a favorable report to be made upon the bill granting a pension of $2,000 to the widow of Gen. George B. McClellau. The House committee on merchant marine has recommended that the Senate bill to place the American merchant marine engaged in the foreign trade on an equality with that of other nations bo passed in place of the bill already reported favorably bv the committee of the House, as they are almost identical. It is probable that General McCook. lately appointed a brigadier-general, will be given the command of the Cepartment of Arizona. Tho Comptroller of the Currency has called for a report of the condition of national banks at the close of business ou Friday, July 18. President Harrison, accompanied by his son, Kussell Harrison, returned to Washington this evening from Cape May. EXCURSIONISTS IN GREAT PERIL. Steamer and Barge Almost Swept Over Niagara . Falls Saved bj a Knot in the Anchor Chain. Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 22. One hundred and iifty excursionistsmen, women and children on the steamer Ella H. narrowly escaped going over the falls j'esterday. The boat runs between Port Day and Buckhorn island. Yesterday, owing to the low stage of the water, she was obliged to run around Green island. Just as she was rounding the island in the swiftest part of the river at that point the engine gave out. The anchor was ' heaved overboard, but it failed to catch for some distance, dragging along the rock) bottom. When it did finally take bold the boat was under such headway that the bulk-head to which the hawser was attached was torn from its fastenings. When nearly the whole chain had been run out the end became knotted in tho hole in the bulwarks and held the boat. The trouble with the engine proved to be a defective valve, which was soon reE aired, and the boat was again got under eadway, but so great was the force of the current that it took tifteen minutes to get to where the anchor had caught, a hundred feet up stream from the boat. There were about one hundred and fifty passengers on the steamer and in the pleasure barge attached to it. There was a terrible scene of confusion. Women fainted, the children screamed and men bade each other good-bye. The boat was only a short distance above the falls when it stopped. EXPERIMENTS FOR PRODUCING RAIN. Senator Farwell's Provision for Establishing the Office of Gapogari. Washington FpeclaL Who would have believed it possible that tne progressive united btates would fro to backward India for a scienSiho idea applicable to the public welfare? In certain villages in the Indian central provinces there is an ollicial termed the gapogari, whose duty it is to make rain. It probably will surprise the great mass of the American public to learn that we are to establish in this country the office of gapogari. The provision for the new office occurs in a most innocent-looking amendment which was tacked on by the Senate to the bill making appropriations for tho Department of Agriculture, where the generous sum of 2,000 is set apart for the uses of the forestry division in making "experiments in the production of rain-fall." Inquiry develops the fact that this is a sober, serious, bonatide proposal, and that the experiments are expected to be made; furthermore, that forestry has nothing to do with it, but that dynamite, guns, electricity and other similar instrumentalities aro to be . employed in tho solution of the problem. Moreover, the reports from inside 01 tne committee-rooms showthat Senator Farwell. of Illinois, is tho father of this remarkable provision. "The cause of hisiuterest," remarked a colleague of his, to-day, "may be guessed ' when it is remembered that he was a member of a syndicate who built tho Texas State Capitol, and that, in payment for the work, tho State turned over to the syndicate noiuo threo million acres of land in thePan handle region, which, for a large part, is devoid of flowing water, and which sutlers also from a deficient rain-fall. Tho soil of the arid sections is of excellent quality. needing only a copious supply of water to make it richly fertile." It will therefore bo the business of Dr. Fernow, the chief of tho forestry division, to undertake the task of exploding the rain-clouds. When approached with an inquiry the! gapogari-elect did not oxpress himself elated at the prospect, or even very hopeful. "The subject of inquiry is not altogether devoid of legitimate interest," said he, "but in my opinion our knowledge of physical forces and meteorological phenomena is scarcely yet equal to tho task which is set before us here. 1 am reluctant to make ex periments without having drat investigated the basis for them." From another source it is learnedjthat one of the plans discussed is to purchaser quan tity of dynamite and send it up in parcels of twenty-hvo pounds each attached to a toy balloon, arranged with time fuses, so as to explode at certain heights and intervals. Tho whole scientiticcirclem Washington is making merry over Senator Farwell's scheme, and such inquiries as, "Have you consulted the gapogari to-day?" or "What kind of weather does the gapogari intend to give us to-morrow!" threaten to relieve the conversational tedium for the rest of the dry season. m Her Idea of Parisian Dress. London Figaro. A Japanese lady residing at Tokio. and quite ignorant of the dress of European ladies, desired to array herself in Parisian attire. She was a lady of high degree, and she pressed into her service a member of the French legation, who undertook to pro cure for her from Paris a complete out lit nn edition, in fact, of "The. Seen and the Unseen." Promptly he did her bidding. auu mere arrived irom ice itue ae itivou a mystic box full of weird things, carefully arraugeu. as per request, intneoraer, wnen the box was upside down, in which thev should be Dut on the dress on tho top and the rest below, lhe upside-down arrange ment was, somehow, misunderstood. The lady put on tho dress first and other things as they came; and, arrayed in a symphony of lace and batiste, she drove to the I rench embassy to thank her friend for his gallant attention, lhe poor gentleman is said to have been ill for some time after. All Its Glory Departed. Nebraska Journal. And now they are taking all the glory out of Governor Hill's Indiana trip by denying that Mrs. Hendricks declared that if he didn't beat Mr. Cleveland in the presidential race she did not want him to enter her house again. Mrs. Hendricks herself says that she never used such language and did not think that it would be proper for her to make any remarks of a political nature at such a time. This takes away the Governor's only triumph in connection with the Indiana affair, and gives him an unkind cut for talking too much about other things than the dead man whom he went West to honor.

ANOTHER LEPER'S 11R1DE." The Self Sacrificing Life Ambition of a Trained English Nurse. , PaU Mall Gazette. " . The other day a lady, dressed in a neat. simple nurse's uniform, called at this office. On her dress sho wore, to my surprise, the order of merit which is awarded by the Kussian Red Cross Society, but which, in most cases, is not bodily" bestowed. In her hand she carried what presently I found to bo one of tbo most important budgets of documents that have ever been put into the hand of woman by the Kussian fovernment. The lady was Miss Kate larsden, who hopes to start within a few days for a six months7 tour through the wide dominions of the "great White Tzar," there to study the subject of leprosy, which has of late aroused so much atteution and interest. "What is it." I asked Miss Marsden. after sho had told me of her intention, "what is it that induces you to turn your attention specially to leprosy!" "It came about in rather a strange way, and long before leprosy had begun to attract much notice even in the medical world. X was nurse in the Kusso-Turkish war in 1877-8, and one day at Sistova I saw two lepers for the first time in my life. The sight of the disease was so loathsome, so altogether appallinir, and the suffering of the poor men was so beyond anything that I had ever seen that there and then 1 vowed to devote my whole life and strength to lepers, if ever the opportunity was given to me. "And from that day forth I have waited for the opportunity to fulfill the vow I made at the sight of the two JJnlganan lepers. The time was not yet for many years. Sev eral of my sisters w ere living, lhey were very much opposed to my plan, out they have all died of consumption, one after the other, and there is now no longer any obstacle in nQ way, except one, which may at the last moment compel me to give up my plan." "And what did you do while vaiting all these years?" ' "I -first became deputy superintendent of the Woolton Convalescent Home, Liver pool, where 1 remained for lour and a half vears. Alter a rest I went out to iNew. Zealand, where my last sister was dying of consumption. A week after I arrived sho died, and I accepted the placo as lady superintendent at the Wellington Hospital. Then I heard of the miners in tho Houth island, many of whom live several days' journey away from any place where they can get medical assistance in cases of accident. You can imagine what a man's sufferings must be if bo breaks or injures a limb, and has to remain unattended to for days aud days till a doctor is brought to him, or till he is taken a long journey to where the nearest medical man lives. In order to enable them to help themselves and each other till medical assistance can be obtained, I went among tho miners all over the island and gave ambulance lectures. It was a strange experience. Sometimes I had to travel four or five days to get to them; then 1 gave a lecture, sat with them by their camp-fire, slept in a tent which they had specially put up for me, and rode oft' again next day to another place. un these tours I saw a good deal of leprosy among the Maories. and a few months ago I came homo to England, thinking to go to Molokai, and there make further studies of the disease. "I should tell you that my final object has always been, and still is, to study leprosy andits vanoustreatmentsas thorough ly as possible, and then go to India to or ganize tho care ol lepers, who, 111 many cases, aro terribly neiriected. Jsoon alter reaching London I went to tho Hawaiian consul, LSond street, to see what assistance he could-give me, but he informed me at once that only Koman Catholics could bo received at Molokai. That, of course, put an end to it. as 1 belong to the Church of England, and once more my hopes seemed to be baffled. "At the first March drawing-room this spring I was presented to tho Queen, and three days after the Princess of Wales, whom some of my friends had told of my intentions, telegraphed, asking me to come and see her at Marlborough House. a I cannot tell you how kind the Princess was; she promised to write at once to her sister, tho Empress of Kussia. from whom I was anxious to obtain the Ked Cross Order, which had. nominally, been awarded to me after the Kusso-Turkish war. but which I had not received. A few days later I was on my way to Kussia. obtained the order without trouble, and was specially invited to coino and see tho Empress at Gatschina. "And there again I was received with such simple kindness and sympathy that I could hardly believe that I was really in the presence of the highest lady in the land. Tho Empress would not let me stand for a moment in her presence. So 1 sat down. even while the Empress remained standing. and she listened to all I had to say, and when 1 expressed the wish to studv the leper question in Kussia she promised her help and the Emperor's. Tho rest is soon told. In this folio," continued Miss Marsden, opening out one after the other the large white sheets stamped with mighty official seals, and signed by - some of the roost important and powerful men in Kussia. "I have -papers entitling me to go into all tho hospitals, all tho prisons, and to all places where I 'think I can find anything connected with the study of leprosy all over Kussia, feibena. the Caucasus and Asiatic Kussia. and to see every thing, get all information I can, and take what notes, and photographs 1 like about leprosy. Every official is bound to give me an possible assistance, and, as in some parts of Kussia leprosy is very prevalent, indeed, I am convinced that 1 could obtain information of priceless value." So it seems, indeed, and it almost makes one's head reel to think what the judicious use of the pen and the photographic camera in Kussian hospitals. Siberian prisons aud Caucasian fortresses might do for Knssia. for the leper, aud, indirectly, for "all the people born beneath the throne" of tho great Empire of the rsortb. "liut the Lmpress has done more than that. I don't speak Kussian, and that would nave been an obstacle. 1 here fore Dr. Dun can, the chief medical otbeer at St. Petersburg, is to accompany me on the whole tour, the Kussian government paying all his expenses. At Kiga Dr. Duncan is to meet me; tnen we go on to Moscow and central Kussia, to Siberia, and finally across the Caucasus to Tiflis, Baku, whence, after crossing the Caspian, we take train to Samarkand and enter Trauscaspia, central Asia. What I shall find remains to be seen, but it is beyond all doubt that the terrible disease is prevalent in all parts of the . empiro and to an extent which has never yet been oflicially ascertained." OILING LOCOMOTIVES. A Style That lias Gone Out of Use Advan tages of the Sight Feed. Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal. The old style of oiliug tho valve3 out on the steam chest has about gone out of use. for which wo are thankful. Most of the tirenien of to-day know very little about crawling out along the run-board on a pitch-dark cold winter night, hanging to the band-rail with one hand and to a pot of tallow with the other whou tho engine is rocking about aud making a fortymile uait down some grade. About the time you would get turned around straddleways of the brace from the smoke-arch to the pilot-beam, ready to hunt for the opening in the oil-cup on the chest bill! a big drift of snow would bo met, some of which would go up inside of your clothes, lots more down your neck, and the tallow where did that go? Lots of it went everywhere but on the valve seat, Onco in a while the tireman lost his grip when going over a run-board or front end piled with snow, so that ho slipped off. or was killed or maimed for life. The extension frontends were nice to lean up against, too. ' when they got hot enough to burn naint off in one trip, but a roan could not get around them at alL When oil pipes were put on, leading from the cab to the steam-chest, some mastermechanics did not think it right to put them under the jacket, where they were out of the way and would not freeze up, because, if anything went wrong with them, they could not be got at without

KNIGHT A JILL80N. 7a fc 77 -Pennsylvania taking up the jacket. They were nio things to touch, when it was necessary to go out on the running-board dnring a trip, if they were not frozen solid. Thanks to a more enlightened view of the safety of others, or to the fact that- there was so much opposition on the part of the men about goiugoutto oil engines that a man mast unnecessarily rik his life to oil the valves, are getting to bo "back numbers." From the way eight-feed lubricators are being put ou the locomotives it is only a question of time and money to pay for them when every locomotive cylinder will be oiled by them. There is a prejudice on tho part of eome atrainst n sight feed. When you see some of them with a half-dozen pipes running all ways over the boiler-head, gum and dirt over all, a few of the numerous joints leaking, and the oil from both feeds going into one cylinder, you don't wonder. Tho manufacturers say that they won't "cross feed." or send the oil all over through the condensation pipes and reservoir to one cylinder, but some makes of night feeds, where one cupfecls both cylinders through independent pipes, do it just the same, and I have heard of them feeding into the boiler through the steam supply pipe. ome of them are constructed so that when the pipe gets stopped ud anywhere between the glass and tho steam chest, tho oil' will quit feeding on that side. There is however, n remedy for most of these trouble, at tho disposition of tho man on the engine. Keep your oil clean, strain it, id necessary. Knn a little swab, wet with glycerine, through the sight feed and oil glasses, and it will keep the oil from sticking in the glass. If you ueo a patent mixed valvo oil that gums up, blow it out clean once in a while. Some use a strong solution of concentrated lye, aud leave it overnight. That cleans out tho cup and starts some of the joints leaking if they are not made good, and cats up the rubber caskets. One advantage of the sight-feed is that tho oil can be fed in steady, up hill and down, whether shut or working steam, in slow drops or almost a stream. There is another advantage which is lost sightof by some. The oil is atomized or delivered oa the valve in a sprav, instead of in bulk ateaspoonful or a cupful at a time. One thing I would like to have explained, why ordinary black oil, and the poorest kind of car oil at that, fed through n lubricator, docs just as well in a cylinder and on a valve-seat as the expensive patent valve oilt m m Mr. Manner's New Roy. Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr.' A. F. llarmer, an Indianapolis business man, was in this citT yesterday morning, and left for his home in the West in the afternoon. Mr. Iianner has the reputation of being one of the spiciest and most delightful story-tellers, and while he was admiring the beautiful homes on North ' Broad street from the top of a 'bus he was overllowing with anecdotes. . One of them will bear repetition. l ou have doubtless heard of the excited mau who discovered a slight blaze iu tbo third story of his house, and instead of attempting to extinguish it ho immediately threw the chamber set and mirror out of the window and started dowutstairs with a mattress, and wedged it so tightly iu the hall-way that the tiremen could not get at the fire, and everything was destro3edf Well, I can toll you a story of n boy who was employed in my store who displayed eual presence of mind. The sidewalk exhibit of my place of business, as is usual with stationery stores, contaius some goods that water will spoil albums, letter-paper, etc., and also a basketful of sponges. The other day a storm came up, aud I told the boy to hustle the goods into shelter. The lirat grab he made was for the sponges, and by the time he got to the back of the store the albums, paper and other perishable goods were soaked. 1 believe that boy is still looking for a job." We Certainly Haven't tho Frugality. Los Angeles Tribune. A Chinaman in the vicinity of Florence claims to have made S'JO.ouo this year from a lCO-acro lot.
