EESTLESS ARMY OFFICERS

Bnssia's Warriors Ilavfl Grown Weary of the Long Reign of Peace. They Think the Czir lias Become Too PaciGc, MdTherefore May Dare Joined the Nihilhts irith the Tiew of Makinj Trouble. PLOTTING AGAINST THE CZAR. Army Officers, Crown "Weary of Idleness, Have Joined the Nihilists. St. Petersburg, Dec 27. Numerous arrests continue to be made at Kiefl of persons suspected of nihilism. Nine more officers are anions the impr -oned, either under suspicion 'or direct cbargea of connection with a conspiracy against the Czar. The Russian authorities believe that they have unearthed a wldeepread plot, in which a number not only of lower officials, but also those of higher rank, are involved. There is much discontent In the army with the prolonged period of peace, and many of the officer! think that the Czar is too paclfio in Ma disposition. There is no longer an outlet for these warlike snirita in subduing the tribes of Central Asia, all these having been brought thoroughly ender Kuisian subjection. Tho Russian empire was never more peaceable, ao far aa external enemies are concerned, and the murmuring among the army officers ambitions for glory, and disappointed in their hopes of promotion, is correspondingly great. It la no secret that there was bitter disappointment in 'military circles soveo Tears ago, when the Czar had to bring Lis autocratic authority .to bear to prevent his generals from plunging Into a war with Great liritain and Afghanlstan, and the spirit of impatience among Russian officers has been increasing since. For these and other reasons the authorities at tit. Petersburg are greatly apprehensive as to the extent of the conspiracy developed at Kief), and much excitement prevails both in official circles and among the public Meantime the persecution of the Jews goes on more earnestly than ever, the leading official persecutor being the Grand lJuke Sergins, brother of the Czar and bus'band of lueen Victoria's granddanghter Elizabeth. As Governor of Moscow, ho eeems determined to turn every Jew out of the city. The Jewish population of Mrcow has already been reduced from aboufteighty thousand, when JSergius became Governor, to about thirty thousand, and the number , continues to decrease under the added rigor of penal laws and the intolerable seventy of their enforcement. 13y a new law which has recently been put in force only ten out of a hundred Jewish lawyers in Moscow and St. Petersburg are allowed to practice, while in Warsaw and Russian Poland this liberty is wholly denied. The Moscow University shuts its doors against Jews, and it will not be long before the Conservatoire does the same. The severe treatment of the Jews is having a ruinous effect upon real estate and other interests, at least SO.llOO lodgings being empty in Moscow. The most pitiful scenes are witnessed among tho crowds of Jews at the railway stations, men and women over eighty years of ace and halfelad little children crying and praying in the cold. The sufferings are viewed with utter indifference by the Russian authorities, and any non-Jewish resident who displays kindness towards them risks being put under suspicion. The soldiers detailed to assist the police in guarding Jews treat them with the greatest brutality and frequently prick the unfortunates with thoir bayonets if they attempt to leave the stations in which they are penned. The officers don't like the work of guarding Jews, which they look upon as beneath their dignity, and this is also the cause of some discontent among the soldiers. . . , ' ALLEGED DYNAMITER ARRESTED. Yonng Man Named Kevani Supposed to Hare Caused the Dublin Eiploslon. Dublin. Dec 27. The government is apparently acting upon the theory that the recent explosion was the result of a conspiracy, and the policearemakingaotivelnqairiesastothe recent course of the physical force faction, to whose operations but little attention has latterly been paid. So far as James Stephens, head center of the Fenian brotherhood is concerned, no suspicion exists that he has anything cow to do with plots or conspiracies, but it is intimated that some of the yonuger advocates of physical force have been very busy of late. The anti-Parnellites are throwing suspicion on Parnellites, and the latter assert that no more reason exists for inspecting them than for coaming the crime to their antagonists. 'Stephens has denounced the anthorsof the explosion as enemies of Ireland. A man named Re vans has been arrestod at Neuagb. County Tipperary, on the Charge Of being connected with the Dublin explosion. Kevans is a stranger to the towns people, and is nnabie to givo a satisfactory account of bin recent movements. Kavens Is twenty-six years of age. lie admits that he was in Dublin lest week np to Bnnday morning. The arrest of Kevns caused great excitement in Kdnagh. A polloo sergeant bad been Informed of the arrival of a suspicions looking stranger and had followed Kerens from place to place. Kevens saw that he was watched and tried to escape, whereupon, he was taken into custody. In his TJOsiession were found discharged papers bearing the name of a steamer plying between Montreal and Glasgow and dated in July last. Several meetings were held to-day, at which the outrage was denounced. THE rilENCn SCANDAU Le Figaro Says that Examination of De Re!nKh'i Hotly Shows II Was Poisoned. London, Dec 27. In the greater excitement attending the proceedings in the French Chamber of Deputies and the revelations compromising (so many prominent men in the Panama canal scandal, sight has been lost, to a . certain extent, of the autopsy of Baron De Reinach, whose mysterious death has " been attributed to various causes apoplexy, suicide and murder. The covernmenthaving charge of the examination, it is consequently slow and attended with freat secrecy. Le Figaro to-day states, owever. that it has information to the effect that Dr. Urouardel. who had charge of the post mortem examination, has reported to the government that apoplexy was cot the cause of tho Baron's death. The report, the Figaro says, linds that Raron De Reinaoh was poisoned, and that the poison was taken into the stomach eight hours before death. The officials of the government Toxicological Bureau deny the truth ot the Figaro's story. They say that the examination of tho organs removed from the Baron's body will require another fortnight at least. The Chronicle's Paris correspondent says that two other sudden'deatha may form the aubjeetof a special inquiry, but he hesitates to mention the persons' names, which are given as mere conjecture. The startling revelationa made by ex-detective Amiel have beenrevived. The correspondent declares that in answettoan advertisement in the Figaro, be. Amiel. was otlered money to murder Dr. II err. He continues: "Amiel asked me to publish the story, but when 1 sent for him 1 found that he was dead." The Ganlois compares the unhealthy Panama scandal to the scandals of the period of Roahn. and says that the diamond necklace allegation against Madame Carnot will probably lead to the disgrace of a high official. The Drelbnnd cations. Germany. Italy ana Austria, regard tne situation in I ranee as menacing the peace of Europe, and are exchanging frequent notes on the subject. 1 her have decided to hold themselves in readiness to act promptly, from a military point of view, in the event of a revolution in France. Their embassies in Paris have received special instructionson tbesubject. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says: strenuous efforts are bing made to limit the parliamentary investigating committee in counrctinir politicians with the Panama scandal. Many great contractors and engineers four that prob ing too deeply will endanger thoir fortunes.

which might be seized on behalf of the shareholders. d25 The Pari correspondent of the Daily Telegrapu remarks upon the fact that' no denial has been issued as to the story that M. Ribot, upon hearing of M. .De Freycinet's interview with M. Andrlcpx, asked M. DeFreycinet to resign, and otiered the War portfolio to another statesman. M. De Freycinet, it was said, refused to resign and appealed to President Carnot. who supported him. One of the experts who assisted Dr. Brouardel at the Reinach inquest ears that tho result may be a surprise to everybody. If be had madoanoathon the snbjecr, he could not say. he adds, that Baron De Reinach was poisoned. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The exposure of the frands in the Department of Education and Public Instruction, through which the department lost 4.000.0C0 florins, was made iu a newspaper published at Grossvrardein. The paper affirms that two of the leading officials in the Trefort Ministry discovered that the money had been embezzled, bnt were afraid to expose the thefts, owing to the high positions held by the parents of the embezzlers. The paper itself refrains , from giving the names of those who took . the money. When Minister Trefort died he . was succeeded by Count Czaky. who; learned of the embezzlement, but who did not take any action in the matter for the same reason that impelled the others who bad knowledge ot the affair to remain silent. Members of the government allege that the 4.C00.000 florins deficit was cot caused by fraud, bnt was a simple shortage due to a bad agricultural season that will be recouped. Nobody places any relianco in this statement. Cold Weathsr and Privation In England. London, Dec 27. England is having severe and trying holiday, weather.

The Harmonist Leader Buried in a Very Sinpie Manner Gossip About Dr. Teed. Pittsburg, Dec. 27. The remains of Father Ilenrici were interred in the Harmonist cemetery at Economy this aftercoon. John Dcse says he is cow in full charge of the society's affairs and will probably call a meeting in a few days to elect a junior trustee. A dispatch from Chicago, which is probably without foundation, says: "Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, the bead of the Koreshan Society here, stands a fair show, it is said, to succeed Father Ilenrici, chief of the Harmonists in Pennsylvania. It will be rememberod that Dr. Teed visited Economy last summer, lectured there and remained as the society's guest soveral weeks. While he was at Economy reports were circulating that Teed was working among the Harmonists to be placed at the head of the society. Teed never acknowl edged or denied these rumors. It was said that ilenrici was so bitterly opposed to Teed, however, that' La had to leave the colony. Now that Hentlci is dead, the story of Heed's taking hold of the affairs of the society are being revived' The cofdn 1h which the remalnsof Father Ilenrici were buried was made of rough pine boards painted black. There were no handles to it nothing by which it might be carried and the silver plate upon which the name and age of the dead 19 usually iuscribed was missing. The body was clothed in a plain white sheet, wrapped round and round until it formed a perfect shroud. No pall-bearers had been selected, and the six men nearest the corpse picked it np and car ried it to the grave. The people formed in procession and followed the dead through the street np into the oemetery. The I'conomites are buried aide by side in one long row. with no headstone, number or, in fact, anything to tell whero they lie. No distiction was made iu the case of Father Ilenrici. As his co-laborers were laid away, so was he. It was his request, and Mr. Duss said a fow words at the grave, the male ohoirsang a hymn, a handful of dirt was thrown on the coffin, and the monrners returned to their homes. There were many prominent visitors from Pittsburg. Beaver Falls and Rochester among the assemblage. tfimon Benter and Mr. Storm, two members of the Zoarite Society, a commnnistio group of Zoar. O., were present, having been teuton to represent that organization. If Dr. Teed or any of his followers were present they did not make themselves known. Dartmouth Collet: Given JJ IS 0,0 00.

ALLEGED LITERARY RING. IXubhltes Charged with Iterating Others Access to Tllstorlal JJoenments. Washington, Deo. 27. The Washington Post charges there is a literary ring in the State Department which holds control of all the valuable historical documents pur chased by the United States at public ex pense, and refuses access to them, except to a small coterie of New England historical writers. It mentions specific instances where a prominent Western writer has made numerous efforts to obtain copies of somo of these documents, but has always been repulsed, though armed with orders from the leading State Department officials. . The Post names a prominent Massa chusetts Congressman in connection with this alleged ring and calls for an investigation by Congress. Denied by Mr. Lodge. Boston, Dec. 27. Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, referring to the charges iu the Washington Post, said in an interview, to-night, that the accusation was false. The article, he alleges, was written to in jure his chances for election to the Senate. "Of course, I had documents copied," be said, "as everybody has a right to do who has got the Secretary of State's permission. I got Mr. Bayard's permission 'to copy the Hamilton documents when I was editing them for the Putnams, and the Putnams themselves also got permission. That was in 1S85 or ItSO. 1 thinlr. They are being copied continually by historical students, feuch papers are public property and a person wanting to yet them copied for publication has only to get the consent of the Becrotary of State Mr. Bayard gave me that permission and it had been given to many others and the books themselves have an acknowledgment of it on every page and there was no secrecy about the matter. Tho conying for my set of Hamilton was done under the supervision of Theodore Dwight, and the copying was paid for by the Messrs. Putnams, but I don't know who did the copying. If it was done by government clerks, it was certainly not done in tho government time, but after hours. - The Journal prints an interview with Assistant Secretary of State Wharton in Washington, in which he says: "The State Department has certain rules and regulations undsr whieh persons may apply for access to the papers in its custody. Any proper person may thus consult them or copy them if it does not interfere with the work of the department. We have a good many such persons now at work on them, and I don't Know that any one has ever been refused this request. The statement that any one outside the department has had privileges that were not acoorded to all is utterly false." . BATTLE iX .MEXICO.

DOESN'T SDIT CLEVELAND Murphy Is Not the Man tho PresidentElect Wants to Succeed Hiscock. Re Insinuates the Tammanyite Has Not the Brains or Knowiedjre of Fallic Affairs Necessary to Make a Good Senator. New Yorrt, Dec 27. The Times will print an interview with President-elect Cleveland in the morning as to bis favorite candidate for United States Senator to succeed Mr. Hisoock. The President elect is quoted as saying: "It ought not to bo necessary for me to repeat for the publio what I have so often expressed to many gentlemen in private conversation. Among those have been Mr. Murphy himself, Mr. Croker and gentlemen who bavo been prominent in the party from everj part of the State of New York. It must cot be for gotten, however, that the party has a very hard task to perform if we expect to keep the word we have passed to the people of the conntry. They have given us a phenomenal majority, one showing that they expect us to do much. In doing this a great deal derends ucon the State of New York and its great metropolis. The interests of the State and of the party demand, it seems to me, the selection of a Senator who cannot only defend the principles ot cur party, but who can originate and promote policies that may be presented for consideration in the Senate. Iu order to insure this the Senator from New York should be a man not only experienced in publio all airs, hut who has a clear conception of the vital issues with which he must deal during the next few years. "Speaking frankly, as 1 have already done to those entitled to know my views, it does not seem to me that the selection of Mr. Murphy shows a desire or intention of placing in the Senate a man of such a type. Thia lirst use of our power would, I fear, cause much disappointment, cot only in New York, but in the country. This the party ought not to bo called upon to face when it is considered how much there ia to do and what serious dilliculties have to be surmounted before it can be done" Herbert's Iloom for the Navy Portfolio. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Deo. 27. Cabinet gossip to-night centers abont Representative Herbert, of Alabama, as Secretary of the Navy.
