Jews the Only FroTldent People in Knssla. Loxdon, Oct. The Chronicle has a long letter from Moscow, in which the writer paints in vivid colors the "bigotry" and 'hypocrisy" of the Kussians on the Jewish question. He declares that the lcestion involved is of a wholly economic character. 'The Jew," he says, "thrives in Russia because be is the only thrifty member of an improvident people. The government vacillation is due to the urgent demands of Christian creditors to let the Jewa remain till they have paid their debts. On the other hand the government imagines that if the coautry is ridded of Jews the peasantry will be able to escape the payment of loans and will be m a position to satisfy the tax gatherers." A dispatch from Berlin Eays: "Germany is pestered with pauper Russians of Jewish and other denominations. Ninety-five more returned to Berlin from Bremen yesterday in a starving condition, having been refused passage to Brazil, and were sent to the work-house. Many others are arriving in small parties in the same destitute condition, owing .to the famine in Russia." . Mexican Happenings. City op Mexico, Oct. 23.

He adds that it was agreed that the league should be formed, and that its constitution will be publicly announced in January.

IS JESSE sriaiTT DYLNG? The Phenomenal Sleeier Growing Cold and Siffnsi of Death Creeping Over Him.

Special to tlie Inriian&polU Journal. Seymouk, Ind.,Oct,4J3. The boy sleeper, Jesse Streitt. whose case has battled the best medical men that have investigated his queer habit of falling asleep at any and all times, and remaining so for days or weeks without waking, is thought to be nearing his end. Two days ago he fell asleep in school, dropping his bead over on his desk and becoming oblivious to his surroundings. His mother carried him home and he was laid on the bed. His mother fell down the steps with him as she was ' about to enter the house, sustaining severe injuries herself, but the jar did not disconcert the boy. The physician, who had recently been more or less successful in bringing the lad out of his comatose state, was powerless to wake him. His pulse became feeble and he showed signs of rapidly declining. To-day he grew cold, and he was thought to be dead, but later his breath came agam slowly and he showed siuns of reviving. His eyes are half open and glassy, now and then winking feebly. He has always declared on waking that he had been conscious of his entiresurroundings while asleen, and when to-day his eyelids partly twitched, his father placed his ear close to the boy's lips, to catch his faintest whisper, but none came, life, it is supposed, being too nearly extinct to permit. In that condition ho lies to-night, with the grief-stricken family standing mutely around his little couch waiting for a change. Whether little Jesse is simply sinking into a a deeper trance than any that has yet held him in its folds, or whether it is really the cold hand of death now creeping over him none can say. The attending pnysiciau nhakes his head in complete doubt, if is thought that a few hours, at mo it, will row determine the question one way or another, still leaving the medical fraternity as much puzzled as ever concerning this 4ueer case. BATTLE WITH THE BLOODS. Canadian Indians Kaid a Band of Horses and a Bloody Fight Follows with Police. Assixaboixe, Mont., Oct. 23. Word has been received here of p battle which took place yesterday between a band of Blood Indians and a force of Canadian mounted police.

Independence. Ia.. Oct. St To-day was perfect record-breaking weather, clear and warm. The light breeze blowing at noon calmed down about 4 o'clock, leaving it a typical June evening. Tho only regular races started were the 2:20 trot and 2:J0 pace, both left unfinished to-night. Of the three horses that took heats in each class one could not pick the winner. The principal events were the specials. The most noteworthy of them was Kobert Rysdick'a attempt to lower his mark of 2:14. Yesterday he was sent in 2:144, but as he war in good form to-day. his owner, A. L. Clark, decided to again make a dash against time. On the first score he cast a shot and bruised his foot. Nevertheless he took the word, and made a grand trot without a runner in 2:lZl4. Sphinx, by Electioneer, who has been out of training for three years, was sent against his mark of 2:23, and turned the kito with all his oldtime speed in 2:21. Without a doubt his mark will be below 2:20 before he leaves here. The two-year-old Hell Onward, by St. Hell, went in the Axtell time of 2:23. and while three years ago a crowd went mad over a similar performance, to-day only a little handclan was the acknowledgment of the feat. Governor Mernam's pole team, J. 13. ej. and Eli, went to beat 2:23. and went the mile in 2:21.

Aftiociatiun Hall Circuit Not Completed. Chicago, Oct. 23. Although the American Association completed its labors for the present at the Wellington Hotel to-day. the must important question as to what cities will constitute next year's circuit, still remains undecided. A committee consisting of Barnie. of Philadelphia: Scbmelz. of Columbus, and Von der Ahe, of St. Louis, was appointed with power to investigate the feasibility of a ten or twelveclub circuit. This committee will make its report in about ten days at the call of Chairman Barnie. Whether the circuit will consist of eight, ten or twelve cities is a matter of much conjecture, but there is little doubt that an eight-club organization is what the Aasociation wants. There is a possibility of tho season being begun with ten or twelve clubs', aud the weaker onfs dropping out as tne season progresses. Applications were received lrom Br.tlalo, Kansas City and Minneapolis. If a twelve-club circuit is resolved upon, it is said the f rit two mentioned cities will be admitted. If tho Association decides upon ten clubs neither of the two will have muc.i chance, as it is the intention to place a club in Brooklyn or New York, if possible. With Chicago, Boston and New York, tho Association would consider itself fully equipped to cope with the League. President Phelps was re-elected by acclamation. Julieu Hart, of Boston, was utiauimoufdy chosen vice-president, and Edwin Sutherland, of Washington, was appointed as attorney for the Association.

GRANTED A REPRIEVE.

Ten Negroes Who Were to Have Been Hanjed Yesterday Given a New Lease of Life. Laurixs, S. C, Oct. 23. Everything was in readine&s to hang ten negroes here this morning, but a short time before the hour lixed for execution word was received from Charleston that the Supreme Court hAd granted the appeal of the condemned men. and would hear their cases at the November term. This decision carried with it a reprieve. The crime for which the ten negroes were to have died to-day was committed on the night of Aug. 5, 1691, just after a church meeting. It occurred at Piedmont, in Hunter township, near Mouutville, on the Georgia, Carolina & Northern railroad. On the night of the 5th service was held at Piedmont, and Edmond Nance, an old and respected negro, with his wife and four sons, were among the congregation. When the service was over most of the worshipers dispersed. The Nance family had received an inkling during the progress of the meeting that their lives were in peril. When they started for their home the' saw hanging about the portals of the church a number of negroes, among whom were the ten men whoso lives were to have been taken to-day. The Nance family at the church consisted of the father, Edmond. his wife and three sousJohn. Thornton and Samuel. It seems that John Nanco had made indecent proposals to John Atkinson's wife, and the husband was thirsting for vengeance. Finally, most of the Atkinson crowd left, and the old man, followed by his wife and sons, set out for home. Five hundred yards from the chnrch John Nance was held up by one or two men. In another moment the road was full of armed negroes. Shot after shot was tired, and for two minutes the Hash of pistols lent brightness to old Edmond s torch. Then the murderers fled, leaving Thornton Nance dead and am Nance dangerously bhot through tbG lungs. John Nance escaped unhurt. All of the prisoners were positively identified by several witnesses. The tenor of the rroof was that Jim Young fired the fatal shot. The State maintained that Thornton Nance was killed in an effort to thwart a careful plot to murder John, his brother. The prisoners were brought to the court-room on the morning of Sept. 24. Judge Hudson overruled a motion for a new trial. Then they stood up to receive the death sentence. It was a remarkable scene. Judge Hudson, before sentencing them, commented on the habit of the colored people in selecting religious meetings as a time for deeds of blood. Then he pronounced the death sentence. The wives, children and parents were grouped together in the public square as the ten condemned men passed back to jail in charge of deputies. Tho whole quarter resounded with their cries and weeping. Tho sentence was regarded as too severe by many citizens, and an eliort was made to have the Supremo Court pass on the case. This resulted iu the action taken to-day. flanged for Criminal Assault. Fort Monroe, Va., Oct. 3. Kobert Jordan, coloied, was hanged at Hampton today for criminally assaulting Mrs. Moore, a white woman, residiug near Back river, in July last. . . , , , . . . . EMBEZZLER GARt'i A ARRESTED.

Everything waa quiet at the bank to-day. Mr. J. C. Morris, president of the clearinghouse, this mornin e said in regard to Cashier Eugene F. Garcia's defalcation: "Eugene F. Garcia, paying' teller of tho Louisana National Bank, is a defaulter in the sum of $150,000. It was first discovered on the oth of October. The full extent of the defalcation was only demonstrated on the 17th. Some packages had been paid out purporting to contain 65,000 and $10,000, while they only contained J500 and 51.200. Complaint to this eti'ect was made to the Louisiana National Bank by tho shortage of the packages. Mr. Garcia cenfessed that the shortage was from overpayment, errors and mistakes committed by him within the last fifteen years. The cash in the bank was examined and tho shortage discovered. The loss of the large amount has been carried to profit aud loss, and still a capital of 500.0 0 and a surplus of 8100,000 remains intact." "Doyou think that any deposits will be withdrawn from tho bank on account ot this defalcation?" tne reporter asked. T do uot. If anything of that kind should occur, 1 am authorized, as president of the clearing-houso. to state that every dollar required will be furnished by the clearinghouse banks.

The Illinois Non-partisan Woman's Christian Temperance Alliance to-day took two important steps. The first was the most interesting one of the convention, and the action taken opens up a held for temperanco work which is entirely different from what has ever been attempted before. The convention appointed a committee to consider and gather information of the bi-chlorido of goldcures for inebriety, the committee report to form the basis for the future work of the alliance. The other action was to expunge from the constitution the seuteuce, "Nor shall any incumbent during ber tc?m of office engage in campaign work for any political party," on the ground that the clause was a hindrance to the personal liberty of the officers.

The counsel for the will then tendered the original copies of letters which had been read for comparison, and the contestants rested their case for Timothy Hopkins. Judge Harmon asked if any one else wished to be heard in opposition to the instrument, and there was no response. Mr. Lincoln then called Gen. Thomas E. Hubbard, of New York, who testified that he had known Mr. Searles for some time prior to 18S2. but had personally done no business for him. General Hubbard gave in a general way Mrs. Searlos'a property as consisting of some sixty different kinds of stocks aud bonds. She was one of four who controlled five thousand miles of railroads aud one hundred steamers. These companies were bonded for about $250,000,000. There were also roads in Guatemala, Vancouver, Mexico and Texas, and her interest in the Pacific Improvement Companv (a -construction company), and also the Oriental und Occidental Steamship Company. The Central Pacific is a leased line of the Southern Pacific, and the government aid to this line renders the position peculiar, and requires the attention of the owners. The property is such that any one who attempts to attend to eitherof the properties requires all of his time. He did not wish to be understood that the properties were in bad condition, but whether they were to bo worth 50 or 150 per cent. of this value in a few years depended on whether they had received proper attention from their owners. Witness had a large and prosperous practice, and when Mr. Stillmau came to him and said that Mr. Searles wanted him to tako tho management of the property, and if ho would go in with him, he told him it was a serious matter, as it would, in a short time at least, involve the abandonment of the practiceof law. Fiually he consented to take it up with him. The copartnership was suggested by Mr. Stillman, who bad found, as attorneys, they had met with rebuff in getting information necessary to cope vith the questions before them, but as principals, as well as attorneys, they could insist on their rights to it. Witness knew that the 5 per cent, of income of the property would be much less than his professional income, and finally, after much discussion, the copartnership as 'drawn was made as the most just and reasonable arrangement. At the afternoon session General Hub-, bard testified that the management of the estate had taken nearly all his time for a year and a half past, and that it had taken fully as much of Mr. Stillman's time also. In 1888 he had called the attention of Mrs. Searles to the fact that she was drawing very little money as compared with the amount drawn by Mr. Searles. She said that Mr. Searles paid all her bills and she wanted him to do so. She did not wish to have anything to do with business. Witness was asked if any changes had been made in the record ot the title of the copartnership just previous to the death of Mrs. Searles. His reply was yes in Southern Pacitio company and Pacific Improvement .Company both had been transferred to the partnership, but had remained on record as in the name of Mrs. Searles. BIICS. MAYHKICK. An American Whose Release from a British rrison Many Women Are Trying to Accomplish. It seems likely that the movement in behalf of Mrs. May brick, whom an English jury convicted of the murder of her husband, James Maybrick, of Liverpool, which . was inaugurated by Gail Hamilton, will have a successful issue. Mrs. Harrison,' ,Mrs. Blaine, Mrs. Rush, Mrs. Miller, wife of the Attorney-general, and other prominent women of Washington have taken the matter in baud with energy aud a fund is being raised to secure a reopening of the ca&e. It is generally considered that Mrs. Maybrick was convicted upon evidence which no American jury would have considered, as it was entirely circumstantial and unsupported by positive testimony. At the time of ber conviction and sentence to death. Queen Victoria was petitioned for a pardon, but her Majesty confined lier exercise of mercy to commutation of sentence to imprisonment for life, a sentence which the unfortunate woman is now serving. Huns and Negroes Taking Strikers' Place. MoxnxGAHKLA City, Pa., Oct. 2'. The influx of Huns and negroes from the South and East continues steadily and the miners are thoroughly alarmed over the prospects. All along the Baltimore A: Ohio railroad they have been brought to the mines except between Finleyville and the Snowden mines; sometimes merely a handful, aud again in largo numbers. In tho first pool mines the greater number of them have been taken. At Wallick there are from sixty to a hundred of them, while at Cook A Son's mines, at Cook station, on the Chartiers division of the Panhandle, there are a number of negroes. A riot is feared when they are placed in the pits. air. "Warner Is Not seeking Office. Kansas City. Oct. 23.

MR. SEIMIXtiHAUS'S WOKOEX. If the Contract Ltbor Law Has Been Violated the District Attorney Will Prosecute. St. Louis, Oct. 22. It was rumored today that the importation of Welsh tinplate workmen by the St. Louis Stamping Company, of which ex-Congressman Neidringbaus is president, would be brought before the grand jury. United States District Attorney George D. Peinolds was interviewed to-night: He said: "My attention has been called to the alleged violation of the contract labor law, by a delegation from Ivory Lodge, Amalgamated Iron and Steel-workers, who asked if anything could be done. They told me that a number of workmen had been brought over on contract, and asked me if 1 was willing to present the matter to the arand jury. 1 said I was if they would furnish witnesses and facts. A day or two afterwards the secretary of the lodge aud another gentleman called aud nsked me to wait a' few days until they secured more data upon which to proceed. I expected them to-night, but I understand the tecretary was shot to-day, and 1 have not heard from them. I concluded to lay the matter over until next week and ascertain if a case can be made. My duty is to enforce the law. If there has been violation, the violator mu6t abideby the consequences." No confirmation of the shooting of the secretary could be obtained at a late hour to-night. LINCOLN'S RELIGION. Ills Belief, or Want of Belief, Causing Much Speculation Detroit Tribune, The statement positively made, which will be as potdtively denied, that Abraham Lincon was a spiritualist, indicates that Mr. Lincoln's religious belief, or want of any religious belief, is likely to be a matter of discussion while his name is remembered. A lew years ago it was stated on the alleged authority of the late Bishop Lefebvre, of Detroit, that Mr. Lincoln was in early life a member of the Koman Catholic Church. The story had a certain color of fact. In the early settlement of Hancock county, Illinois, there was a small Catholic churcu composed entirely of Kentucky people, in part descendants ot Maryland Catholics, who worshiped in a humble edifice near the village of Fountain Green. Of this congregation several families of Lincolns, relutivesof the President, formed part. The ancient faith seems to have been introduced into the Lincoln family through marriage with Maryland Catholic families, among others the Mudds. Of this little Mock the afterwards distinguished Bishop Lefebvre was at one time tho parish priest, and something ho said of these Lincolns and there was an Abraham Lincoln among them was understood to refer to their great kinsman. Tholittle Catholic Church was years ago torn down and removed to the railroad, and few of the old-time worshipers now live in tho neighborhood. Singularly, although Mr. John Hay lived from childhood to early manhood in Hancock county, no mention is made in the Hay and Nicolay life of Lincoln of these Hancock county kinspeople of his, though they were well-known people in the early history of the connty, and distinguished bv maty physical and other points of resemblance to the greatest of the Lincolns. As for Abraham Lincoln, no church, no sect, no creed, will ever establish a claim to him. No authority will ever define or set the metes and bounds of bis faithHowever led, he approached the altar of his belief in early life when he chose as his own the sentiment of the sad and solemn poem, "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud!'1 In that he found the confession of the final insufficiency of earthly things. He learned, too he seems to have always known that religion is not a thing of outward forms or the acceptance of prescribed symbols and formulas, but has its seat in the heart, with which man believeth. No man ever kept his own heart mora tender and true, more open to every gentle influence than Abraham Lincoln; hence his religion was that love which has formed the inspiration and theme of every true apostle. AN OBJECT LLSSON IN THE TARIFF. Sheer Folly to Hide the Fact" of the Success of the Present Law. New York Mall and Express. Evidence of the beneficial effects of the Republican tariff policy is constantly accumulating to overwhelm the free-trade and Cobden Club agents. Our own channels of trade, widening daily and rnnning into new fields, atlords ample testimony, and the loss of nearly 50 per cent, of American trade by English manufacturers in certain lines indisputably points to tho steady upbuilding of our home industries. The Sheffield 'lelegraph, lamenting the loss of its cutlery trade through the new tariff law, says iu a recent issue: "Its promotersjmeant it (the new tariff law) to pusn forward the policy of Americans for America. One method of realizing it was to keep all the work within their own dominions. The country was to bo made self-snpplying. What could be produced at home was not to be- boncht abroad. That was the crux of the McKinlev scheme, and it is working out the ideas of its designers with the precision and effectiveness oi u machine. Manufacturers are uaturally reluctant to give exact and candid information as to how they are aff ected in an particular market, but when a single industry falls nit' by nearly per cent, it is sheer folly to hope to bide the fact. "We have in onr mind at'tbis moment the case of a gentleman who makes goods here for sale iu the United States his sole market. He has never sought English business, but determined to produce reliable wares for sale in his own country. He has an extensive establishment in Sheffield, where, with Sheffield men and Sheffield material, he produces the goods he supplies in the States. His experience, we admit, is exceptional, but it illustrates most forcibly the throttling eflect of the McKinley act. In a lew days he is leaving Sheffield because he finds it impossible under the new duties to continue making the bulk of the articles ho sends to bis American customers. He will go on producing the higher priced fancy specialties which are not, as yet, successfully turned out across the water, but what will bo the outcome! No doubt he will establish a cutlery manufactory in the states. There will be done the work which has formerly found wages for Sheffield artisans, and in the course of time the costlier productions will unquestionably be added to the business." Sending Slouey by Lipre.i. New York Run. John Hoey invented by accident the system of sending money by express. While a clerk iu the Adams Express Company's employment, in this city, be was aked by a woman to send some money to her son. a soldier at Washington, aud bound for the front. Hoey thought the matter over, and without consulting his superiors seut tho package of money by tho express. The money reached its destination, but Hoy was reprimanded for his bold experiment. Nevertheless, from that one act grew an extremely profitable branch of the express business. It was just about tho same time thata gentleman then living in Chicago, but now a resident of New York, with difficulty induced the Western Union Telegraph Company to 6eud a telegraphic money order, it was sent from Chicago to New Orleans, with much misgiving on the part of the telegraph officers and strictly at the sender's risk.

PENNSYLVANIA St the field of Valley Forge, has expressed in felicitous words a patriotic sentiment that is destined to live. "I feel assured," ste says, "that the women who are o educating themselves with the history of their own country are the best fitted to 'rock tho cradles' of our future rulers." Uno of the very brishteKt chapters in tho glorious story ot the revolution is that in which the deeds of the patriotic women of 1 1 76 are told. Every one of the old thirteen States had scores of heroines whose services to the generals in the lield were of incalculable valne. It is a matter for national congratulation that their descendants iu these modem days, which are eometimes characterized a degenerate, should imposo on themselves the task of preserving the monuments that are left to us of the heroio struggle for independence. They deserve the most generous support that can be siven, and, as Mrs. Harrison says, their hands are, indeed, the best fitted to rock the cradles of the race of statesmen on whom will devolve tho duty of perpetuating American institutions. Shouldn't Be Ashamed or Its Politics. Steuben News. The Indianapolis News, though by all odds the most unscrupulous Democratic organ in the State, is again trying to convince its readers that it is "independent" in politics. If the news is ashamed of its Democracy it ought to cease to be Democratic If it is not ashamed of it. then why attempt to hide it behind the pretense of independence! An out-and-out Democrat who honestly believes in the. principles of his party und who is uot ashamed of his Democracy is entitled to the respect of his political opponents, but what can be faid of the man or organ that labors in season andout'of season to promote the interests of the Demociatic party, aud all the time wears the cloak of political independence!
