HIS LIFE IN DANGER
COFinjUTIO OF A STATElIEXT 1 SACICVIIXE-WEST'S rAMrnLET. The Minister Wan Taken on n CruUc by General Sherman to Keep Illm Array from Polble Danger. WASHINGTON, Oct. H-That portion of Lord Saekviile-West's pamphlet in which ho asserted that Lord Granville, at the time of the Irish executions In 1&83, had,on the representations ot Iord Spencer, cabled the Assistant .Secretary of State that he believed Lord' Jsackville-'Wesra life was in danger, owin to the heated Irish agitation to this country at the time, and that as a result Lord Lionel was taken on a ten days' cruise by General Sherman, was confirmed from an unexpected quarter to-day. When the public announcement was first made It was received with incredulity here, as no one at th State, War or Navy Departments could be found who would confirm it. To-day J. C. Bancron Davis, who was for a time. Assistant Secretary of fcstato under Secretary Frelinghuysen, but who had retired before this' Incident occurred, received the following letter from lircvet Brigadier General John Tibball (retired), of the U.ls. A., detailing particulars heretofore not made public: 122 Montague street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Oct. 12. ISM. "Dear Sir I have not seen Lord Sackville's pamphlet and do not Know in what connection he brings forward the circumstances referred to (the cruise on the Chesapeake), but do know as a matter of fact that it did occr:r. It was in the first part of May, General Sherman took Lord Sackvllle-West and family on a navy vessel (the Tallapooa, perhaps) down the Chesapeake on an ostensible junketing trip.' Thpy were gone a week or ten days. Meanwhile, I, as aid-de-camp to General Sherman, took care of the British legation in Washington. So far as I know no one knew the reasons for una action, except President Arthur. Secretary of War Lincoln, General Sherman and myself. But I prebumo there were those in the State iHrartment who were aware of it. Of course, the British minister was in the secret, but I do not think it was known to his secretaries at the time. General Ayres, rommanding the troops at "Washington barracks, and the chief of police. Colonel Dye, were to a degree aware or what was going on. The secret was so well kept that it never got Into the papers, but as Lord Sackvllle has now divulged it I have no hesitation in .mentioning what 1 know about it. Very truly yours, "JOHN C. TIP.BALL. "Brevet Brigadier General U. S. A." General Tibball is. now on the retired list. Wlint Im Snlil in Loudon. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The World's London correspondent cables: "It is the gossip of the clubs that Lord Sackville's publication was as much due to anger against Lord Salisbury as apainst Mr. Bayard. Ever since Lord Sackville's return from Washington he has sought another appointment as a vindication and lately made a strenuous but futile application for one of the vacant colonial governorships. The interesting fact, never hitherto published, may now be made known that a demand for Lord Sackville's recall was mooted in Washington some months before the, Murchison incident. When General .Phli Sheridan was buried in the summer of 1S8S, it was stated that while every other legation was xepresented in full uniform at the funeral, not a single member of the British legation was present, although invitations were isrucd by the btate Department, and the ceremony was therefore national, absence from which on the part of foreign representatives could only be regarded as discourtesy. The fact that that famous so.dter and commanding oMlcer or the American army was of Jri.h birth made the arsence "f any itpresentatlve of the British legation even cfiensivfiy discourteous. Inquiry showed that while Lord Suckvill" was then away in Beverly. Mass., tb-First Secretary of tho legation had been seen in Washington .thTr.omiTrtr of the funeral, and' that the invitation had been duly leoeived iy him 'at' we'l us Lard Sackville at Beverly "tWrt days before the ceremjuy.

On party grounds alone it was represented to him that such a step in behalf of tho memory of an Iribh Catholic a;i 1 a soldier would '! lr.-i-h help him with tho:-e elements of the American people then supposed to be hostile to him. ciir.i wools nttni i ukji ay.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12. Admiral Carpenter, In command of. the Asiatic auadron. cabled the. Navy Department to-day that he had dispatched the gunboat Petrel from Che-FOo to Chemulpo, the seaport nearest Seoul, the capital of Corea. The Admiral sent also a cipher (table. In which he said that affairs in Seoul are in a very disturbed state, and that officers of what is known as the King's party have taken refuge la the United States legation building. It 13 reported. Admiral Carpenter says, that the Queen of Corea has been assassinated. At the urgent demand of the United States charge d'affaires at Seoul. Admiral Carpenter says the marine guard of, the cruiser Yorktowa In the harbor of Chemulpo was sent to Seoul for the protection of the legation and American Interests generally. The Admiral also says that, as a further protection, he ordered the gunboat Petrel to proceed from Che-Foo to Chemulpo without delay, and that sho started this morning. The orders of the Petrel require her to cross -the Yellow sea, and it is expected that sues, will c6ver .the "distance in three days at the most. . According to unofficial m reports, the Queen's palace has been Invaded by a mob and the Queen shot. She has been regarded as the main influence in the progress of the Corean affairs, although the King is nominal ruler. Tho. maih significance of the present agitation is that it reopens the question of Japan's Influence In Corea. The riots are said to have resulted from conflicts between the Japanese and anti-Japanese elements. Prince Pak, who was driven from Corea for' his too-zealous adherence to the Japanese cause, called at the Navy Department on Thursday and at the State Department yesterday. These calls have been speedily followed by the concentration of ships at Chemulpo, but it cannot be learned that tills move Is due to Prince Pak's representations. The receipt of the cipher, cable and the dispatch of the Petrel tend to confirm tho unofficial reports of riot.

He crawled on his hands aid knees till he could reach his sdlk hat, which had landed on the asphalt sidewalk with a thump and bounced ofr into the gutter, then crawled back to the lamp post.

Advices received here from Treblzond eay that 200 persons were killed or wounded during the rioting there between the Turks and the Armenians. A communication made public by the Turkish government states that the Armenians at Trebizond attacked the Musselmans before the authorities could Intervene and that fifty persons "were killed or wounded on both sides. It is added that the Armenians at Rodosta, Armenia, also tried to attack the Musselmans of that place, but they were prevented from so -doing by the police, During1 the disturbance an Armenian was killed by a policeman. The Russian government has canceled the order -for the dispatch of a war ship to. Trebizond, owing to the representations of the Russian consul there that it . might lead to further excitement and disorder. ' The last batches of Armenians left the churches. of Stamboul, In which they had sought refuge yesterday, in the presence of the dragomans of the 'different embassies, the government having promised that the refugees should not be molested. None of the Armenians was arrested. The dragomans received an ovation from the Armenian population. The Sultan, during the day, sent a message to Sir Philip Currie, the Pritlsh embassador, expressing his satisfaction at the success of the measures taken by the embasadors to clear the Armenian churches of refugees. Later, Sir Philip Currie had an audience with the Sultan, and, at the batter's request, Osman Bey, was sent to'Besika bay, near .the entrance of the Dardanelles, to survey sites for forts there. Three vessels, laden with ammunition, have been dispatched to the forts of the Dardanelles, and it is now known beyond a doubt that the work of laying submarine mines in the straits has been commenced. Unlet Restored nt Treliicnntl. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Secretary Olney, at C o lock this evening, received a cable from Vice Consul Chilton, dated Trebizond, which contained' but one word, VQuIet." Trebizond Is the placo In Armenia where the rioting occurred a few days ago and which was reported to- have resulted In two hundred fatalities. The State Jepartnent construes Vice Consul Chilton's cable to mean that the riocing has ceased. Vice Consul Chilton is on his way to his post at Erzeroum, a new consulate established by the last Congress after the Armenian rioting last year. . Fonr Hundred Killed and Wonnded. ATHENS, Oct. 12.

"WAR NAIHIOWXY AVERTED. England Wm Heady titk Her Fleet to Enforce Her Ultima tnm. (Copyrighted, 1S, by the Associated Tress.) LONDON, Oct. 12. There is no denying that the condition of a Pairs at Constantinople during the past vreek has been most serious, so much that r-ople are wondering why it, is not still mc. .ilarming to-day. The Eastern question rtushed quite a crisis when tho envoys of tho six powers presented what seems to have been very much like an ultimatum to the Porto in the shape of an identlflcal note; and when the Turkish government, by one wriggle or another, failed to reply, it looked very much as if the British fleet of nineteen war ships peacefully rocking and pitching at its anchorage off the island of Lemnos, within convenient distance of the mouth of the Dardanelles, would be called on to still further impress on the Turkish mind that Europe is in earnest in demanding reform for, Armenia and protection for the Christian subjects of the Porte. If there is any doubt as to the grave turn of events, which affaire in the East glidea into during the week, it may be promptly dispelled by the statement that the situation was serious enough to call for fhe sudden return from Dieppe, France, of the Marquis of Salisbury. Premier of Great Britain, "who was enjoying the autumn breezes at his estate near that seaport, and in equally hurried return from Switzerland of the right Hon. George J. Goschen. First Lord of the Admiralty, and the call for a Cabinet, council, which is to be held early next week. The British Mediterranean squadron has been off the island of Lemnos, not far from the entrance to the straits of Dardanelles, for two weeks past. The ordinary cruise of the fleet, It is true, would have brought the , British war ships to this Island; but the cruise w ould have been continued and no prolonged stop would, under ordinary circumstances, have been made so near the Dardanelles. Therefore, It is not surprising that even the Turks have been convinced of the fact that the ship of Gibraltar, now off the island of lemnos, are there under direct instructions from the British government. The British war shins now near the Dardanelles are the Ramlllles, flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, a first-class battle ship, fourteen guns; the Hood, battle shin, 14,150 tons, fourteen guns; the Trafalgar, battle ship, 11.940 tons, ten guns; the Nile, battle ship. 11,940 tors, ten guns; the Anson, battle ship. 10,800 tons, ten guns; the Barfleur, battle ship. 10,,7X) tons, fourteen fTuns; the Howe, battle ship. 10.3t0 tons. 10 pins; the Rodney, battle ship, 10,300 tons, 10 Runs; the Colllnswood, battle ship, 9,&X) tons. 10 guns; the Hawk, cruiser, 7.3.V) tons, 12 guns; the Cambrian, cruiser, 4.3GO tons, 10 puns; the Arethusa, cruiser, 4,300 ton?, 10 guns; the Vulcan, torpedo depot ship, t.620 tons, 8 guns; the Sybllle, cruiser, 3.40o tons, 8 guns; the Barham, cruiser, I.SCO tons, 6 guns; the Surprise, dispatch vessel. 1.650 tons. 4 Runs; the Dryad, gunboat, 1,070 tons, 2 puns; the ship Jack, gunboat, 735 tons, 1 puns, and the Ardent, torpedo boat destroyer, 6 guns. Although it outwardly seems as if there Is perfect accord between the six powers in regard to the Kastern question, the position of France is exciting some uneasiness in certain circles, and the question whether France will attempt to go to war is occupying many minds in England as well as in Germany, the general opinion being that she would be guided in this as well as in many other matters by Russia. i S Ot'K FOR RI CSX POLICY. it) Involution n Viewed by the "ienker, n London XruKpaprr. LONDON. Oct. 11 The Speaker to-day publishes a long article dealing with the evolution of the foreign policy of the. United States, citing, as examples, the Venezuelan and Cuban questions, in the course of which it says: "The United States, as a great power, is coming into foreign politics, and is coming to stay The process of evolution of the American foreign policy has been gradual, but unmistakable, and in the last few weeks wo have had indications of the existence of aspirations which may at any moment lead to" the active participation of America in a foreign war. Her intervention in the Venezuelan dispute is not warranted by any treaty or precedent in international law, and can only be defended on the ground that the Monroe doctrine henceforth will be acted on as governing all the foreign policy of the United States, and what is more ser rious Is that it is not tho Monroe doctrine pur? and simple, but that doctrine with developments. Her action means that the weaker states of America can count on the assistance of the United States in frontier disputes with any foreign rtlopy. The present action undoubtedly does not go any further than the friendly sugestlon that we refer the question to arbitration; but it is backed and supported by claims which logically point to a declaration that interferences with the frontier claimed by Venezu ela "will be regarded in Washington as a, declaration of war against the United .States. This is a serious affront, and it is to be feared that it is not quite appreciated at its proper value in Downing street." The article sums up the situation bv saying that: "Europe must understand that the peoplo of the United States are, first of. all, to prohibit if necessary with the bayonet' and rifle any extension of Kuropean domination; secondly, that popular sentiment in the United States enthusiastically, favors every insurrectionary movement which aims at the removal cf a European flag from American roll.

FERUOL, Spain, 4 Oct. 12.-A number of dock yard 'workmen to-day made a demonstration to 6how their sympathy with some newspaper men who were attacked yesterday by naval officers. The newspaper men hfcve recently been publishing articles reflecting on the navy and this aroused the anger of the naval officers. A conflict between the knights of the pen and those of the sword followed.-The public generally is in sympathy with , the newspaper men and the demonstration of to-day was the result Tho police attempted to disperse the gathering of workmen, but were greeted with showers of stones. During the disturbances two officers were wounded. The crowd then marched to the naval headquarters and pelted that building with stones, smashing all the windows. Finally, as the rioters threatened to -wreck the naval headquarters, the marines were ordered to fire over the heads of the crowd in order to disperse the riotous gathering. This was done and the rioting ceased for the time, but further disorder is apprehended. . w -. - - Shipping Strike Spreading. LONDON, Oct. 12. The threatened shipping strike at Belfast and on tho Clyde will be a big affair unless the trouble is soon averted. The seat -of the strike is at Belfast, where the, engineers are striking for higher wages in view of improved trade. The Belfast shipowners have agreements with the Clyde,- Tyneside and other northcoast yards, requiring, the latter to shut out their own engineers if the men compel the Belfast yards to close. Yesterday three thousand men in the Harland & Wolff and other yards at Belfast quit work, and it is expected that twenty thousand men will shortly be idle. If the Clyde yards close, as expected, l over 100,000 workmen will be idle, and it Is estimated that work will be suspended on 105 vessels now building in the Clyde yards with an aggregate tonnage of 2C0.0O0. , .

A Great City AVherc Streets Reek with Filth of llie Womt Description. Louisville Commercial. r-' The Chinese capital, in which some of the late massacres occurred, is the largest city of the empire, and perhaps the foulest In the world, A visit to Peking is said to insure to the traveler two sensation? of intense and genuine delight. .The first comes when you approach the great-towers of the mighty wall, lt& thousands of embrasures and hundreds of yawning cannon mouths,and endeaver to realize that you are about to enter a city that was centuries old before Alexander conquered Persia, and whose first Kuropean explorer was 'Marco Polo, that famous father of-travelers. As you pass throush the wall ' you discover that the cannon mouths are black" and whlte'rlngs painted on boards; the houses low, with flat roofs: the people filthy, cruel and hostile; the streets so horribly foul they cannot be. described; without sewer or cesspool; in fact, "mere colossal and uncleansed cloaca. When ths moment-of departure comes, you experience that second sensation of delight, which, compared to the former. Is as the rapt delirium of joy to a profound and unceasing sorrow. The streets are unpaved, so .full of holes and ridges that the only conveyance is a cart, in which you sit tailor fashion, holding on to each side, while the driver sits on the shaft driving hl3 mule. After a rain the mud U bottomless; ddring a drought the dust is ankle deep, every night it is watered by the liquid sewage of the city, and when set In motion by the wind you experience something of the horrors of Chinese torture. Besides the wall and the Examination Hall, there is little of interest to be seen. The Marble Bridge, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and other show places ha'e been closed to foreigners, and are probably swindles, like the painted cannon on the walls, or else situated upon soma wretched street, amidst filth and garbage, weather stained and rotting with decay. , The people detest and despise all foreigners. Not Only are foreigners thoroughly hated, but they aro regarded with profound and undh-gulsed contempt, and but for the protection of the government, no foreigner would be permitted to live in Peking a single day. . A. stroll in the streets surrounds you with a nasty crowd, covered with vrrmin and foul with disease, which jostles you, feels your clothes with dirty fingerr, sticks its'nosa in your face and jeers you with ribald laughter, and insulting and obscene tongues. - Ali this must be borne with patience, for to resent it would bring upon you the ven-tance cf Vh?n cne rejects 'that PcUr-.'rrlth its filth, and its pc?u!-t:r of vi" -.3, is but tho t3'P2 cf a n-tl:3.f !

a chimera as ever entered the brain of an enthusiast. Indeed, the only argument that can'be offered in its support Is that of a devoted Koman Catholic priest, who, after, confessing his belief that even in. the fullness of time China could not be Christianized, said: "I am her simply In obedience to the command to preach the gospel to all peoples." It would be fair, we think, to consider that command fully obeyed by this timfc, and keep our missionaries out of China, pointing out to them the opportunities for active and profitable occupation In our homo market. A Poetlcnl Dceorntion. The Independent. We offer a protest against the desecration of the sonnet. A sonnet Is something which is more . nearly sacred " than any other poetic convention. . A sonnet must be perfect; it must have no lapses in the number of lines, in the rhymes, or in the meter. No man is required to write a sonnet; but If a man does write a sonnet he must do it correctly. These remarks are suggested by a sonnet entitled "Hookra." by so pood a writer as Charles IX Warnert In Harper's Magazine for October. It reads as follows: "One nlfiht I 'lay asleep in Africa. In a garden closo by tho city gate; A desert horseman, furious and late. Came wildly thundering: at the closed bar. 'Open. v in Allah's name!' he cried.'Wake, Mustapha! Slain Is tho Sultan; treason, war and hate Rage from Fez to Tetuan. Open f tralght!' The watchman heard as thunder from afar. 'Go to. In peace the city lies asleep. To Allah, all-knowing, no news you brlnK." " Ana turned in slumber still his watch to keep. At once a nightingale began to sing. In Oriental calm the garden lay. ranlc and war postponed another day." This has fourteen lines, and that Is about the only sonnet rule that is followed. The rhvme of tho first, fourth, fifth and eighth lines Is given by the words Africa, bar. Mustapha, afar. We are surprised if in Harford the final r to bar and afar is lost. The second line, "In a garden close by the city gate," does not' have five Iambi. To read it as iambic measure would be atrocious. It is equally impossible to scan the seventh line, and the tenth line is quite as bad. These three lines each have ten syllables; but the measure in the second and tenth is anapestic tetrameter, while the seventh has no measure at all. It Is a very pretty story; but it Is a pity he put it Into poetry. HUMPHREYS' Dr. Humphrey's system differs from all other schools and kinds of medicines, being FOR ONE. DISEASE.
