by th Democrats that have, thus far. arrived. Is any Indication of the sentiment of those who have said nothing. In all the number who have been heard on the subject none go so far. even in private conversation, as to pay that unless some modifications are made they will orpose the bill. Bf course, nil Is not sentiment among the emocrats. There are plenty of them who ay they will make an ffort to pet something for their own particular district but. falling' la that, they will pup port the bill as a party measures. The President. In his message, points out a method that they may adopt when he says that it is not to te expected that all can be satisfied; that in the (freat Issues and upon a great question some sacrifice must be made for the benefit f the great principle involved. The President's arproval of the Wilson tariff bill will go a long way toward uniting the party if there had been any differences Bf opinion of any remarkable degree. What la most often heard in connection with the tariff bill among: the Democratic members U the statement that the members of the trays and means committee were charged trlth the work of preparing a bill and that, leaving: made a study of It. they ought to know what was best for the party. Those who did not pretend to know so much about it must be content with what the party has done through its committee, for it U probable that tha committee has made a most thorough and careful Investigation and that it is able to better Judge what is wanted than those who have not given the Hatter any consideration.

AITLAUSE Foil CLEVELAND. Ilae llrltlfth Press Still Yelllnjc for the I'namcrlcnn Cleveland. LONDON, Dec 5. The Globe this afterBoon, referring to President Cleveland's message, says: "Not often has an American President delivered so statesmanlike a meseae. It is courageous throughout, and rereals that the President has a strong mind with a definite policy. He risk9 giving offense to the admirers of spread-eagleism by repudiating a breach of international etlQuette." In reference to Admiral Stanton's salute of the flag flying from a rebel war ship In Rio de Janeiro, and the Admiral's recall, the Globe says: "Amend to XSrazil was followed by very friendly allusions to Great Britain, much to the distaste, no doubt, of the Irish-Americans; while, further on, a still marter rebuff Is administered to that section by the announcement that President Cleveland had resolved to re-establish the status quo in Hawaii. That may prove more difficult, perhaps, than he seems to consider, but he deserves great credit all the same for refusing to sanction annexationist proceedings which undoubtedly went In the teeth of treaty obligations. Ills reFolve to do what he can to carry forward the Nicaragua canal under distinctly American principles is perfectly 'legitimate. If cur enterprising cousina like to spend money that way they are perfectly entitled to do so; England can well afford to wish them success. Our commercial interests would not suffer, but. very much to the contrary, were a short cut to the Pacific provided, instead of a long voyage around the Horn. Of course, the situation would te wholly different were the United States to reserve th canal to the exclusive use of "American shipping. But the President truarantees that the canal would be equally open to ship of all nations' The Globe also remarks that a matter deserving the attention of the world is that a deficit of live or six millions sterling looms in sight, and attributes It to Inflated pensions, the JdcKlnley bill and silver purchases. "That." the Globe continues, "the Americans will easily be able to bear this additional burden does not require proof, but It will strengthen the cause of protection. Mr. Cleveland Is happily courageous in facing the difficulties, and if he is able to give effect to his statesmanlike scheme the Vnlted States will be on the highroad to Xree trade." The Tall Mall Gazette hails the President's message as a good departure, saying: "President Cleveland's frank, honest statement regarding Hawaii may well c.use ex-President Harrison to hide his head In order to hide his blushes. It is evIiicnt that Mr. Cleveland, like most American politicians, still hankers after bimetallism. He shows to the best advantage when talking of the tariff, and practically announces his faith in the prieiples of free trade. But the battle has only begun. To have McKlnley back and his tariff in force would be a disaster to the United States and to the trade of the world." The St. James Gazette says that President Cleveland's tone toward foreign states contrasts agreeably with that adopted by his predecessors and himself. The same paper adds: "It is enough that he is now courteous to us and scrupulously fair to Brazil and Hawaii. Whether the unlucky royal family of Honolulu will be any better oft for the President's disavowal of illnister Stevens and his acts is an inquiry which need not be pursued. The most remarkable passages of the message are those devoted to the tariff and to the financial position." In conclusion the Gazette lpplauds President Cleveland's courage. Wntit the Date Put Forward. BALTIMORE. Dec. C The petition which Is being circulated among the merchants of this city with a view to having the operation of tho Democratic tarliT postponed till July 1. if the country is to have the measure imposed on it, Is receiving many signatures among the prominent business men of the city. AMERICAN PItESS COMMENT. New York nnd Other Newspapers on Hie Cleveland Measure. The message is well written, which is likely to insure Us general reading. It will Increase the already strong confidence of the country In the man who Is Its author. Boston Herald (Ind.) Its recommendations have mostly been foreseen, and its statements of policy are generally only a reassumlng of what is already understood if not specifically declared. Boston Post (Dem.) No message that Mr. Cleveland has sent to the national legislature ha3 been more characteristic or more sure to confirm the people's confidence in his soundness of Judgment than this. New YorK Times (Dem.) The message of the President to Congress is disappointing. It is a budget of uninteresting recapitulation of matters mainly within the public knowledge, but It is exceedingly barren of original recommendations. Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The dominant note of the President's message sent to Congress yesterday is prompt tariff revision. All other matters are subordinated to thl3, which Mr. Cleveland properly regards as now the overshadowing Issue before Congress' and the country. New York Herald (Ind. Dcm.) The message is at once an apology, a plea and an entreaty. The old ringing words of command are all missing. The fact is the terrific lessons of the November elections are ringing in his ears. The condemnation of the people stunned hlra nnd palsied his pen. New York Recorder (UepO It is singularly free from rhetorical passages or platitudes. Each paragraph is a compact treatment of a theme or an aspect c-? one. The message Is. in fact, a courteous business letter convening a large mass of well-arranged Information on practical concerns in whose discussion and disposal the Legislature must co-of.rr.itc with the executive. Chicago Herald (Dem.) Beyond admitting that our relations with Hawaii are embarrassed seriously the President sheds no light upon the situation. He 'does not have as much to say on the subject of tariff In his message as It was supposed he would, and what he does say couM have been condensed Into the brief recommendation, "Pleas pass the Wilson bill without amendments." Chicago Tribune (Rep.) The President surprised In what he says and in what he does not say. Uad as the .Wilson bill Is. the President commends It as the fruit of much patriotic and unselfish work, believing that It will deal with the subject as consistently and thorougnly as existing conditions permit, and insists that the pople have ordered Congress to make a radical change In the tariff and that failure will be clear recreancy to duty. New York Tribune (Rep.) The message as a whole Is one of the weakest papers ever Issued from the White House. It i.H totally devoid of courage or f a policy beyond the theory of tariff reform, and even on this topic, where1 so much was attempted. the President talks as If he feared to speak his conviction. All through the documt nt the Impression Is given that the President is trying to hide behind the sktrt of w)me one c-ise to throw alt the responsibility upon Congress. Philadelphia. Inquirer (Kep.) Cleveland devotes more space to what he regards as an exoeslve purchase of svds by the Department of Agriculture thun to the momentous enterprise of throne buiMIng which he has undertaken In Hawaii. The personal nou? Found.'; as usual throughout he message, swelling in the last paragraph to an Impressive acknowledgment of the President's "Intense feeling of responsibility." not only for his own share In the management of the Nation's affairs, but also for the dol:. or Congress. New York Sun (Dem.) Upon the whole It does not carry with it much that will encourage the American . people or reasauro them on tho apprehen-

slons that sprang up when the Democratic Party was put in control of National affairs last fall. The people know what they may expect. A great fight is before them. Headed by the President himself the freetraders will make a desperate effort to pass the Wllron bill which, while It Is now a fre trade measure, has In It the menace to the extinction of our Industries which all have feared. New York Advertiser (Hep.) The messag? does more with details of the departments than with principles of government and the iollcy of the administration. The President commends the moderate Wilson bill in its purpose to help manufacturers and labor by reducing the taxes on their necessaries. His firmness and cons ?rvat ism on this question were not unexpected and they may have a good effect. The message as a whole, while it will not add neatly to Mr. Uleveand's fame as a writer or a trader, is a sensible, sincere, patriotic document. New York World (Dcm.) IIOKIXG PENSIONERS.

The Sly Scheme Involved -lly the Man 1'runi (icorla. Washington Special to New York Advertiser. No utterance of the administration thus far In the way of annual reports of the Cabinet officers has been more anxiously looked for than that of Secretary Smith, which is given to the press to-night. His expression of views and Intentions on the pension question have been the subject of much speculation. Now that the rcrort Is made public those who had hoped for some definite announcement of policy on the attitude of the department are disappointed. His admission that a large share of the suspended pensioners have been restored , and that the practlre of suspension before investigation has been abandoned leads some to the belief that the proposed raid on the pensioners has been abandoned. This would seem probable but for the fact that he asks for JSoO.OOU extra appropriation for the employment of special agents next year. In this little sentence he gives away the whole stherae of attack upon the pensioners. There is already In the field a strong force of special agents and examiners a force which the former officials of the Pension Bureau considered ample for all the work of the office. Secretary Smith, however, proposes to spend 500, to pay salaries, etc.. to an addition to the force already employed during the next year! The purpose of this pioposition Is perfectly cl?ar. It means the flooding of the country with secret I?mocratic agents, who will bo instructed to operate throughout whatever circuitous and doubtful channels they may to obtain ex parte evidence on which to r ink? suspensions. The assertion ttat the developments of the frauds committed m Norfolk were entirely the work of the Pension Bureau during the past six months dors not agree with those made by officials of the Harrison administration who decl.tre that much of the work of unferthing these frauds was performed before the present administration took charge of the office. Secretary Smith will have a hird time In carrying through his little scheme for jutting an expensive force ot Democratic detectives in the field to work up case against the pensioners. Not that the members of his own party lack a secret sympathy with the proposition, but the expf rience of the pist few months has warned them that the people will not consent to this sort of en attack upor the veterans. Communications from old soldiers rep.ch members of Cnngr-vs showing that secret agents hav already been doing "detective work" among them. Their households have been Invaded In search of petty Information on which to bare charges, and It will be a difficult, task to persuade Congressmen who see the danper signal alrerwiy up in regard to next election to consent to this sort ot thing. If this proposition can be carried through it will open the way for a law requiring all pensioners to undergo a new xamlnalion. And if this can be passed, with the examining boards packed against them, they can be slaughtered by the thou.'.nds. MiVKH GIVKS t I' ITS DEAD. A Lake from Which No Drowned Person x' mm liver Recovered. New York Sun. "If they succeed in recovering the bodies of Instructor Alerrlam and Miss Yeargin from the depths of Cayuga lake by means of electricity, as I see they intend to try to do," said a resident of this city who grew up on the shores of Cayuga lake, "it will be the first time In the history of the lake that the body of any person drowned in its waters was ever seen again. I always had a liking for geological research, and Indulged In it for many years in investigating the bottom of Cayuga lake. My experiments satisfied me that the bottom of the lake Is a series of large openings and cavities, many of them crater like. Some of these are a hundred feet In diameter. These craters, as I believe them to be, lie at different depths, or, rather, their raised edges are of different heights. Their depths are fathomless. They have undoubtedlv become the receptacles of the bodies of the hundreds of people who are known to have been drowned In the lake since that country was settled, and of the undoubted thousands of people killed In the fierce battles that were frequently raged on the shores of the lake between hostile tribes of aboriginal warriors during the centuries preceding the coming of the white man. "It was In Coyuga lake that the fiendish murderer, Ruloff, lowered the bodies of his wife and child thirty years ago after he had murdered them. The bodies were inclosed in a chest, as he confessed before he wus hanged at Binghamton for another murder. The weeks that were spent in dragging the lake for this chest was simply time wasted, for it hail sunk into the mouth of one of those bottomless openings, and. if it is not pinking yet, is still floating about in those mysterious depths. "Within half a centurj' more than one hundred persons have been drowned in Cayuga lake, to recover the bodies of whom the grappling iron and drag were used Industriously, but in vain. If It were possible for one to make the rounds of the lake's crater-like bed he would, without doubt, encounter hideous charnel houses beyond number caverns where hosts of grinning skeletons have found sepulchre, submarine catacombs without end. Perhaps the electricians, exploring the lake bottom with their intense lights, as they propose doing, may make some such discoveries. "Another mystery about Cavuga lake that used to puzzle me was Its curious tides. They were irregular In their occurrence, but very decided. I remember one year when the phenomenon appeared twice. Three years passed before It appeared again. During one of these tidil motions of the lake the water receded fifty feet. The recession of the water was gradual, but the returning tide came In with considerable force and rapidity. Water taken from Cayuga lake from a depth of feet, probably from one of the crater cavities. is highly charged with sulphuretted hydrogen, nitrogen, carbonic acid and the carbonates of lime, potash, soda and magnesia." avasii dishes in- machinery.

An employe who can wash from 1.000 to 1,20 dishes an hour, dry the same, and get them ready to put away in the pantry and at the same time not break or chip any of them, ought to be a pretty valuable factor about the average hotel.

TWO LIVES IN PERIL

The Murder Trial at Winchester Grows More Interesting. An Alleged AYouId-Bc Assassin Arrested Xear Xorth Manchester An Old Couple in One Grave. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER. Ind.. Dec. 5. A jury has been secured in the Price-Storms murder case on trial here, and the State this morning began to Introduce evidence. The progress of the trial has been rapid and satisfactory. Deglnning with the movements of General Browne's bodyguard, whose name was Browne, on Sunday evening of July "0. the State has shown that shortly oftcr 7 o'clock of that evening he went from his boarding place to his barn and hitched the little mare he usually drove to a canopytop road wagon. From this point he drove to the road and by the wood In which he was killed. The State has introduced a number of witnesses at various stages of his trip to clearly Indicate the route taken by him, und to also fix the time. Following this the evidence shows that a short time after he had reached the fatal spot four shots were heard two each at short intervals In quick succession, and shortly after the tiring of the first two shots a cry, as of a man In distress and a scream were heard. It is shown that less than an hour from this time his wagon and horse came alone to the barn of its master, bearing evidence of having been hardly driven. The lap robe taken on that evening by Browne was clearly identified as the one found the next day near the body of the deceased, as was also the clothing which he wore on that occasion. The case was closed for the day by the testimony of the physicians and surgeons who held the autopsy on July CI. The testimony shows that three shots took effect, the first entering the back a little above the lower end of the spinal column and to the riht thereof; the second, entering the chest below the right nipple, passing in through the cartilege of the seventh rib. through the liver, heart, lower lobe of th left lung and lodl.tg in the seventh rib on the left side; the third entering the skull on the right side of the. head about one inch above the ear and passinj; through horizontally to the left side of the head. This shot was fired at close range. The State has also introduced evidence showing that tha body was robbed. Prosecutor J. W. Newton. In his opening statement, said that he would be able to show the movements of the defendants up to the time the crime was committed and to slrow that they were there for the express purpose of ambushing and murdering the oil colored man. uni:i iiy thi: sumurr.

(Dock) Brown, a farmer living sjven miles west of this place, and tcok him to Warsaw, where he will be held until delivered to the State of Ohio. He was arrested on a charge of complicity In the attempted murder of W. A. McKay, of Wooster, two weeks ago. It Is rumored here that he Is accused of being the man whom Wiggins hired to do the shooting. Brown Is a small farmer of moderate means, and until recently he has borne a geed reputation. He Is a member of the United Brethren Church, and his neighbors say he seldom fails to attend divine services, and that his home is the dailv scene of family worship. He claims to be able to prove an alibi. To detectives who have visited him he stated he had not for weeks been out of Wabash county, except to visit relatives a day or so in Huntington. Yesterday Sheriff Stoner drove to Huntington and there learned that about the time of the murder Brown had arrived from Ohio on the early morning train, and only spent a few hours with his relatives In Huntington. Aside from this it is r.aid that his description tallies with that of the assassin. Long before Wiggins's wife died, a year or so ago, he has been harbored at Brown's home for weeks at a time, and since Mrs. Wiggins's death Wiggins has made his heme with Brown when he was In this neighborhood NEW BLOOD AS OFFICERS.

TIic I'nshlonnble Clothes for MnLcItelleve Men and Wumen. Philadelphia Times. The doll season is drawing near. The Santa Claus societies .ire collecting toy contributions for the forlorn little waif to wbom a doll means such heavenly pleasure, and plans lor doll shows and bazaars are being discussed. One clover society woman, always ingenious in rousing wide interest in charitable works, is organizing a doll show in aid of a children's hospital. Three Important money prizes will le given to the owners of the three best dressed dolls. This will Inspire young lingers to help on a work of charity. When the competing dolls are sent in competent judges will declare the prize-winners. An entrance fee must be sent with each dolt and the name and address of the owner must be legibly written and attached to the dress. Dolls' dress-making is a great business at the present day. and there are establishments in our largest citle where a thorough training is given in cutting out patterns and preparing . complete outfits. Anything novel or uncommon, that has never been made for a doll before, is sure to find a sale. Therefore, ladies m straitened circumstances and girls wishing to increase their pocket money are turning their industry in that direction. A large London firm employs dolls boot and shoemakers, milliners, dress and mantle makers, and one lauy supplies them with corded corsets of blue satin, trimmed with lace and insertion. An enterprising girl of limited means has earned considerable money by making little reefer jackets In blue serge, with fcrass buttons. Another has been equally fortunate with dainty close-fitting babies' caps, trimmed witn pale blue ribbon. The prettiest dolls' hats just now are the drawn ones of rllK, although a teautltul little thing "just out" is a close-iitting bonnet of old-rose muslin, finished off with a pinked-out ruchlng of the same material The sailor hat, too, is always a favorite. French, English and American children are quite unlike in th'Mr doll fancies. A powdered marquise or Trianon shepherdess will be lrrsiytible to a French cnild, although here and there, among the flaxen wigs and dazzling brunette 3 of a l'arislan doll shop, out stands a wooly pate and chocolate complexion, surmounting a gay striped tunic', showing that the Algerian African is just at present in notice and favor. Engll-sh glrla are devoted to Highland dolls, with the kilt, trews, plaid, velvet coat and sporran of goatskin, all complete. Perhaps the Quee"5- sets the fashion for this taste when she . insits c:i all hr tmall grandsons wearing Highland dress when they are with her, and even the little tdrls of the Duke of Connaught wear plaid kilts, Scotch caps and short Jackets when they visit their royal grandmamma. Little English boys prefer dolls attired after the manner of eoul heavers, millers and railway porters, also baby-faced voldlers and sailors. American children, on the contrary, select dolls in children's dress, rather than In costume, and baby dolls are always in demand. .... Yet the elegantlv-dressed little creatures of to-day, with all their mechanism and realism, are no dearer to their youthful owners than the old disjointed, vooaen babies or stuffed rag darings, wth serk-us. painted faces, were to our grandmothers, who loved and petted thetn In that far away childhood. FOOTI1AM, IX SL'MATIIA. How nn HxcIthiK Came AYns Won in That l'ar-Away Land. Fortnightly Review. Among the Malays football has been in existence from time immemorial, but it is with them essentially a game, as, for in stance, battledore and shuttlecock is with u", and it Is not n contest. The football is rather smaller than that used at Eton, and is' made of wicker work. These who join in the game arar.ge themselves In a wide circle and kick the ball from one to another with the inside, or, at times, with the .fiat of tha foot. The object of the players is to keep the ball passing about without touching the ground or the hand of any one. Gieat dexterity Is shown In this perforrnarce, and the ball is usually kicked to a very respectable height. There S2ems to be no penalty to be exacted from a player who may kick the ball badly or fall to kick It at all. We hail our own game of football, and the Dutchmen, assisted by two members of our team, scored two gcals to our four. During the game the natives collected in great numbers, and at its termination they begged us to allow them to play a gama among themselves. To this we- assented, and two of us acted as captains of the sides, numbering about thirty players apiece. Most of them stripped to the 'sarong," and wrapped it round their loins, leaving the rest of their bodies bare. The ball was started, and then followed one of the most extraordinary games at football that has ever been seen. The game soon ceased to be game at all, and became a veritable battle. "As when a sort of lusty shepherds try Their force at football, care of victory Makes them salute so rudely, breast to breast. That their encounter semed too rough for jest." ' Hands, arms and even teeth were used on all sides; blood flowed freely, and scattered about the field were soon to be seen the wounded. I might almost say the slain. As somo fell exhausted to the ground they wtre removed and their places In the frav were taken by ethers, who rushed forth eagerly from the crowd of sp3ctators. Shouts of victory aixd groans of defeat rent the air, and at length things became so serious that tho two captains were obliged to seize upon the ball and bolt with It to the pavilion. The "game" thus came to an end and the players withdrew to their homes, with the excited crowd following at their heels. This must have been regarded as a red-letter day by the native community of Medan. and the visit of the "Orang Puteh" (Englishmen) will bo remembered among them for some time to come. We received a hint next morning from the authorities that the natives must not be allowed to take imrt in our games. Obituary. SAGINAW. Mich., Dec. 5. Farnham P.

MELL0 A MONARCHIST

History of the Brazilian Revolution and Its Causes. Kc-Kstablisliment of the 3Ionarcliy the Aim of the Rebel Admiral A South Pacillc Mutiny. (Copyright, mi, by the Associated Tress.) LONDON. Dec. 5. The Times, to-morrow, will publish an interesting letter, dated Nov. 21, from its specia? correspondent at Kio de Janeiro. In reviewing the causes leading up to the revolt, the Times correspondent says that, with the fall of Dom Pedro, the aristocracy withdrew all connection with the government and that the wealthy men who were in otfice became needy adventurers, whose sole object has been personal. Continuing, the Times says: "President Peixoto opened his administration well by canceling the decree permitting the Dank of the Republic to continue the emission of notes, which had been done in the interest of a ring of speculators. Put the hopes of reform were soon disappointed when he began removing the Governors of States In an underhanded manner. Thence onward he took the bit in his mouth and made a series of blunders and set aside the spirit and letter of the Constitution in every way." The Times correspondent then proceeds to show President Pelxoto's alleged breach of faith regarding Itlo Grande do Sul by persecuting those who had been engaged in the revolt, which action led to the President's rupture with Admiral De Mello, who resigned the office of Minister of Marine in consequence. Much sympathy, the correspondent adds, was shown in Itio de Janeiro for the people of Kio Grande do Sul who bad been engaged in the revolt, and popular subscriptions were opened between May and August, 18 for the relief of the Insurgent sick. These subscriptions were crowned with success, and It is said the constantly swelling fund was very galling to President Peixoto and led to its promoter, Dr. Goveren, being Imprisoned. Coming rapidly to the history of the present time, the correspondent states that on Nov. 7 the insurgent leaders held a conference on board the war ship Aquidaban and discussed the question of re-establishing a monarchy in Brazil. It was then shown that the states of rernambuco, Santa Cathralne, Rio Grande and the majority of the population of Minas Crara Sao Paul, and an Important section of the city of Kio favored a return to a monarchy. It was thereupon decided that the efforts of the insurgents should be to that end. The fact that General Pego. a well-known monarchist, was iti command of a division under President Peixoto, and that Colonel Mendezo, a violent opponent of republicanism, commands the National Guard. Is positive proof that there was no intention when the revolutionary movement first broke out of any attempt to re-establish the monarchy. It was an afterthought, engendered by the wishes of the people In various parts of Rrazil. and It is yet to be seen whether the insurgents will make it the aim of their present struggle. A Brazilian told the correspondent that he believed the end of the war would see the finish of the Pelxotorian system of government in Brazil, no matter which side won. Captain IMcklnjr Praised. BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 5. After a trip of thirty days from Itio, the bark Priscilla arrived here to-day. Captain Powers, her commander, reports that on his outward bound voyage he encountered the roughest gales and lost many semare feet of canvas. On the home voyage he passed great quantities of lumber off the Bahamas and throughout the gulf stream. Captain Powers's experience in Rio, where the little admiral is commanding the attention of the whole civilized world, tallies exactly with those of his conferees who have arrived here before him. He Is loud In praise of Captain Picking, of the United States ship Charleston, who Is an old friend of his,' and upon whom he called Immediately on his arrival at Rio. The Priscilla had no difficulty in entering and leaving the harbor. WAKLIKK ItlMOU. France Said to He Massing Troops on the Italian Frontier. ROME, Dec. 5. The Rlforma publishes a letter signed "Belli," which affirms positively that there are 40,000 French troops echeloned between Nice and Barcellonnette, with large advance posts within a few yards of the Italian frontier. Along the same line the French forces are being gradually advanced toward the frontier. There are immense quantities of war material at their disposal, and they appear to be prepared for a sudden attack. The write; of the article calls the attention of the Italian government to the seriousness of the situation. Peru ami lumlnr at Out. LIMA, Dec. 5. The legation of Ecuador, as well as the consulates of that republic, have been closed, and Vcq minister of Ecuador, as well as the r-onsVl of that republic at Lima, have taken refuge on board the British ship Hyacinth. Citizens of Ecuador now in Peru nave been placed under German protection. The delimitation of the frontier of Ecuador and Peru will be submitted to arbitration. S OCT 1 1 SEA TALE. Piracy nnd Murder for Which Three 31 en Are on Trial. TREST, Dec. 3. A naval court martial opened here to-day for the trial of what is known as the South Pacific piracy case. Two brothers named Rorique and a man named Mirrer have been charged with piracy, mutiny and murder. The hearing today was confined to a formal reading of the charges against the mutineers. On the night that the Iicriqucs seized the schooner NinroahitI Joseph Roriqua took the watch from 8 o'clock In the evening until midnight. He was joined by his brother, ard their murderous work -was at once begun. The native captain, Tara, was stretched upon the deck asleep, and he was shot and thrown overboard. The report of the pistol and the fplash of the body of the captain as it was thrown into the sea aroused the supercargo, Gibson, and the ctk Mirrer. The Ron qu?s called to Gibsen to come on deck, and he was also shot and thrown overboard. A little later Mirror was summoned to come up and he obeyed, trembling with fear and brgging for his life, promising the brothers that he would keep tneir secret if his life was spared. On the second dav after the mur der of the captain and Gibson, Alexander Rorique :rdc'red Mirrer to give to each of the five Kanakas forming the crew a clas of rum. Only two of them touched the liquor anJ they died on the same day. The remaining mree, tearing an attempt to poi-r-cn, refused to partake of food for several days, until at last they became so terrified by tne tnreats or the Koriqucs that they jumped overlard. On the arrival of the vessel at Ponapi, the Rorique brothers and Mirrer. under changed names, went to a tavern for dinner, ilirrer, during the absence of the murderers, begged the inn keeper to conduct him to the governor. Before this could be done the brothers returned an.i ordered Mirrer aboard the vessel. He refused to obey and on their attempting to force him the guard was called and Mirror denounced the Rorlques as murderers. All three were arested, and after Mirrer's confession had been hard they were all turned over to the French authorities. The Prim e W edded Her Love. LONDON. Dec. 5. A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says that the marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Baron Scigfiied Battenheim, took place in the presence of thdr respective families. The Princess and Baron met at the court ball in Munich and fell in love with each other at llrst sight, in spite of all entreaties of her relatives the Princess refused to give him up. although Prince Regent Lultiold was decidedly tqqosed to the alliance, and in order to break the match, he removed Baron S-dgfrid Battenheim. who is a. liu-ti-nant ixi the ltavarian armv, from .Munich to Meu. Finally Emperor Francis Joseph, who Is the grandfather of the Princess on the paternal side, interceded in her !ohalf with the Prince Regent, who at last gave a reluctant consent to the match.

The city had a dynamite scare, to-day. that petered out when the facts became known. Yesterday the officers searched the room of a man and found a can of dynamite. The air soon became full of rumors of dynamite plots. To-ninht the following explanation was made: The man Snyder, in whose apartments in Hampstead, the explosive was found, was the managing director of the Snyder Dynamite Projectile Companv. with an office in Chan cery lane. He was in arrears for rent for ; his lodgings in Hampstead. and his landlord levied an execution upon him. Among the articles seized was a trunk of explosives, many photographs of gun experiments and a prospeetus of the company. Including an article from the Iondon Times, printed live years ago. which described Snyder's invention as likely to render the conditions of warfare appalling. It is supposed that the dynamite in Snyder's effects were used by him as a business sample. Bank of England's Lows. LONDON, Doc. 5. The Dally News, in Its financial article, says: "There is very little to add to the rumors with regard to the losses of the Bank of England in connection with the Winchester house companies which came to grief, and the irregularities of ex-Cashier May. but it appears that the maximum loss will be fSoo.CJO and some good inside estimates say not more than 150.o,io. This includes the loss by the transaction with the Murrlettas and the South American and Mexican company, the amount realizable by securities pledged being doubtful." The article concluded that even the maximum loss would be a mere flea bite. Cause of Tyiidall' Death. LONDON. Dec. o. The inquest held upon the remains of Professor Tyndall has resulted In a verdict to the effect that tho Professor died from an overdose of chloral. Cable Xotes. The Costa Rlcan Liberals have nominated Iglesias for President. Special thanks have been offered in all the Berlin churches for the Emperor's escape from the plot to assassinate him. Negotiations have been broken off between Honduras and Nicaragua. The dispute may be submitted to arbitration. The British minister Is doing all he can to effect an amicable settlement. Influenza, is Increasing in many places In the German empire, and at some points it Is largely of a fatal character. Three hundred marines are in the hospital at Kiel suffering from the disease. M. Dupuy has been elected president of the Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of 251 to 213. defeating M. Brlsson. This showing of a majority of only forty is not a very encouraging one for the new Cabinet and leads people to believe that it will not remain very long In power. Tin: martyr ursnvxD. Domestic Virtues nnd Sacrifices That Surprise the Bachelor. J. II. Gllmour, in San Francisco Chronicle. The American husband is proverbially the most sat-upon creature in the world. Some years ago I was in Mexico when the road between Nogales and Guaymas was opened, and I asked a gentleman of my acquaintance whether he did not view the iron highway with feelings of great pleasure. "No," he said, gloomily. "Why?" "Oh, It will bring your Infernal women down here." "Infernal women?" "Yes; pardon the rudeness, but they will come as they go everywhere, and their accursed indeoendence will revolutionize our society." I thought then of the rows of dilapidated-looking young married women sitting apathetically against the walls of the ball rooms I had seen at the grand festivities commemorating the successful squashing of a revolution. They were unheeded and unlooked after, while the few married American women were resplendent as stars with numerous satellites in attendance. Some married men have filled me with curious awe. Their blind devotion to their uninteresting families amounts to madness or heroism. I know a man and all honor to him who waits upon a sick wife and peevish child with an assiduity which no woman has ever equaled. The tenderness of his atte-ntlons Is touching. It appears as if the man's nature had been submerged by a great wave of kindness. I heard a man say he would get a divorce from his wife if she required him to carry her fans or her gloves, and not long after that I witnessed this scene on the porch of a fashionable hotel at a well-known watering place: "Dear," said his wife, "I wish you would go up to my room, and in the left drawer of the small burtau on the right-hand side of the window, on the left as you enter the room, you will find a veil which goes with this hat. If it is not there it may 1? in one of the trunks I think tire large one and at the same time bring down a few hairpins and my gloves, as I shall row, and also Dottle's large hat." He promptly went up three flights of stairs to execute this order and returned with a spotted veil. "Are not men perfectly irritating?" she paid as she hel I out the veil to be examined by her friends. "Fancy going out in this veil! No, dear, this is not the one; it is the long blue veil which I always tie around and over my hat." "But there are so many," he pleaded. "My dear, you don't expect me to go up and get it, do you?" The idea of this grievous indignity being thrust upon her accelerated his departure, and after repeated ascensions he returned with the right article. "Is this compliance only for the occasion?" I Inquired of a friend of the parties. "No, indeed! What do you expect? that she should mount those stairs?" "Some husbands would make her," I suggested. "Some husbands are brutes," was the fierce rejoinder. Is it not uncommon to hear mothers tell their troublesome children: "Oh, go to your father! You are such a per-t. Why won't you keep out of the way of trouble? And th sainted father will convey his afillcted child to a drug store or some other receptacle where wounds and hurts are dressed. If husbands are such selfish creatures why is It that especially in the West they 'an-car to be such nonentities in their own househedd-? We all know of a rather distinguished San Franciscan who used to take refute in a hotel while his wife upturned tho house for a rout or ball, and who does not know of that amiable millionaire who, on festal occasions, when his big house was given over to a. ball, used to retire to a e-orner grocery and spend the evening with his coachman and other choice spirits playing poker, or that other eccentric millionaire whose heart-strings received many a wrench when his fashionable daughters Insisted on his abandoning his dissolute practice of sitting on the front door step and smoking a villainous pipe with his stableman. Who can declare after a visit to the opera or a French play that married men are Kelfish when they see the agonized countenances Of hushands sitting out the piece while their wives, lustrous with gems and wreath-smiled faces, appear as happy as if they had penetrated the very secret chambers of the innermost heaen? Is this SH-lf-Ishness or martyrdom? Did any saint in that eneheering and soul-satisfying book. Fox's "Hook of Martyrs," show greater heroism? A IlIA l'l" THAT WOltKKI).

It was notic-d that he didn't look quite so tierce after that, and soon afterward, remarking with assumed carelessness that he would be back in a minute, he left the room. Then some of us ventured to suggest to the llttla man that it was a good opportunity for him to "skip," which. comMering the discrepancy in size between him and the man who had forced a quarrel oct him. would involve no disgrace. "Much obliged for your good advice," said he. tfs coolly as ever, "but there is no necessity for that; the other fellow has run away already." When fifteen minutes had slipped by nnd "the other fellow" hadn't fhown up we concluded that the little felllow was rij;ht and wanted to know, ef course, what had caused the stampede. "Oh.
