2 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUltNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 189B.

Bxeater confluence In maintaining the rights of the country than the knowledge that they possessed the full approval and good will of the great colonies. The Right Hon. A- J. Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury, In acknowledging the honor conferred on him by the freedom of the city of Glasgow, yesterday predicted that la the event that England was again forced to fight, the Scotch, Irish and English, whether Inhabitants of Great Britain or her colonies, would be found shoulder to shouller In defense of the empire. The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the political situation, expresses the opinion that Great Britain would be moat ungrateful if It failed to recognize the d?bt of gratitude which It owes Emperor William "for arousing the patriotism of the country and thus leading to a better understanding with the United States." Ths Westminster Gazette repeats the asirtlon that there haa been an understanding arrived a between Great Britain and France, and points to the settlement of the Mekong dispute as being the first fruit of this entente. It Is semi-offlclally stated at St. Petersburg that there Is no foundation whatever for the alleged St. Petersburg dlspatci cabled to the United States by a news agency nd claiming to furnish the substance of the Czar's answer to the autograph letter from Emperor William. It is not true that the Czar told Prince Von Iladolin. the German embassador to Russia, that he entirely concurred in the view? and . alms of Emperor Williari. and It Is In every way Incorrect that the Czar added that the German Emperor could firmly rely on his support and of the support of the states friendly to Russia, namely. France and the United States. It is also untrue that the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Irince Ijobanoff-Kostovsky, who was alleged to have been present at the Interview between the Czar anl Prince Von ItadolIr, commended an anti-English policy. The whole of the alleged dispatch is classed In Russian semi-official circles as being an Invention upon the part of the news agency. WAR SHIPS COMMISSIONED.

Great Day for Patriotic Ilrltlnher nt Portsmouth. LONDON, Jan. If. Patriotism 1 was at high tide at Portsmouth to-day when the ships of the flying squadron were formally commissioned. The bands played "Britannia." "God Save the Queen" and other Inspiring pieces dear to the hearts of true Britons. The vessels placed in commission were the first-class battle ship Revenge, flagship of the flying squadron, carrying 7Z2 officers and men. Rear Admiral Alfred Bale In command: Ihe first-class battle ship Royal Oak. 712 officers and men; the firstclass cruiser Gibraltar, 541 officers and men, and the torpedo catchers Handy, Hart and Havoc, each carrying fifty men. The usual salutes were fired, and the scene was very effective. Between 8 and 9 o'clock In the morning there was quite a procession of carriages going in and coming out of the dock yards bringing from the depot the officers of the ships companies drafted on board the ships composing this portion of the flying Squadron. There was an early morning parade of sailors and marines alongside the vessels just prepared for sea, the men being all In their white working rig. Both corps of marines wore the white foreign service helmets, and were escorted Into the yard by bands of music. They were received with enthusiastic cheers by crowds of people gathered at every available point. These vessels are under orders to be ready to leave the harbor as soon as possible, und wilt await the arrival of the other portion of the living squadron coming from Chatham and Devonport, consisting J oi me nr-c:asH Tuiser lueseiiH. tne sfc-ond-class cruisers Charybdi and Hermlone and three first-class torpedo catcher, carrying over 2.000 officers end men. All the last named vessels were also commissioned this morning. It Is understood that Admiral Dale Is under orders to take the flying squadron on Saturday from Spithead to Berehaven, on the south coast of Ireland, with sealed orders relative to the future movements of his vessels. The officers and men have all prepared for a long absence from England. In some quarters it is believed that a tour of the world is contemplated. A portion of the British Mediterranean squadron, consisting of the battle ships Ramlllies, Hood. Anson. Hovre and Barlleur, and the cruisers Hawke. Cambrian, Astrea. Forte, Fearless and Sybille. and the torpedo depot ship Vulcan and torpedo boat Ardent, have arrived at Valetta, Island of Malta, from Salonica bay. DEHSATO'S 11AXK. The "Kliijr of KafHr Mnkrs nn Explanation tu Stockholders. LONDON. Jan. It At the statutory meeting of the Barnato bank to-day a very large number of people were present. Barnato occupied the chair. In dealing with the assets of the bank he said that three companies belonging to the bank could repay 90 per cent, of their capital and that the others could repay their capital ten times over. Continuing. Mr. Barnato defended Mr. Cecil Rhodes, ex-Premier of Capo Colony, and Dr. Jameson, leader in the raid to the Transvaal, saying he did nor believe that the Invasion of the territory of the South African reoublic was premeditated. Again referring ta the affairs of the bank, Mr. -llama to raid that, in spite of the fact that they had gone through an unprecedented financial crisis and that the deprecation of cuth Africa, in shares, had been from flSMJW.iM) to 13C,C00,(AX) during the last six months, the bank could declare a dividend cf lio per cent., which would have been doubled, he asserted, under favorable circumstances. A vote of confluence In the chairman and directors of the Barnato Bank was passed. After the vote had been taken some of the shareholders attempted to question Mr. Barnato. but he hurriidly adjourned the meeting and. with the directors, left the hall, from which they were followed with hooting and hissing. Americans Illumed. TORONTO. Ontario. Jan. li. Mr. Percy Ireland, who has just arrived from South Africa as the representative here of a company which is to hoU an International Industrial exhibition at Johannesburg next May. speaking of the difficulties in the Transvaaj, blames the Americans fcr the Jameson raid fiasco. He says that when he left Johannesburg, six weeks ago, the Ultlanders werj moving in expectation of Jameson's invasion and that all outsiders, except Americans, were prepared to welcome him. The Immigrants frcm th- United States stood in the way, however, and to their efforts was doubtless due the Doctor's "throw down." These Americans, though they resented Boer oppression, were opposed to any movement that might end in the Transvaal becoming a colonial possession of Great Britain. The reason they gave for this attitule was that if Great Britain came into possession of the country the high wages obtainable there now would be reduced before the rapid Influx of Englishmen tha would follow. t -- Oradually Absorbing: South Africa.

THEKE IS NO BEDRESS

TinKKV CAX I1AR OUT THE IlED CROSS SOCIETY IF SHE AVISIIES. Action of the Porte Defended by Its Representatives nt Washington"Relief Work to lie Continued. WASHINGTON, Jan. H. Senator Cullom. who Is a member of the Senate committee on foreign relations and chairman of the committee on Armenian affairs, said to-day that he did not see what action the United States could take In the matter of the exclusion of the ReJ Cross Society from Turkey. Any government, he says, has the right to exclude any or all persons from its territory. It Is a right which all nations reserve, the United States as well as others. Neither by legislation nor executive order could the United States compel Turkey to admit the Red Cross Society. Senator Cullom says that there Is little that the Congress can do in the matter of Armenian outrages except to express in emphatic terms Its horror of the outrages perpetrated and direct the Secretary of State to communicate the action to the Turkish government. Senator Cullom has had no conference with Secretary Olney on this subject. Yesterday Miss Rebecca Krakorihlan, an Armenian, called on Senator Cullom and made a statement of the conditions existing there. She claimed that this government should stop the slaughter of Armenians. The missionaries which have been sent to Armenia, she argued, have taught' the people Christianity and made themselves and their pupils tho subjects of Turkish hatred. It is now no more' than right, she said, that the people of this country protect the missionaries and the converts they have made and put an end to the slaughter. At tho Red Cross heaiquarters to-day the statement was made that, inasmuch as the Turkish government has signified Its purpose to exclude the society, or any other agent of relief, it now remains for the national Armenian relief committee to take the next step If It Is desired to carry torward the work. In an Interview to-day the Turkish minister said: "You ask me what I have to say about the following statement: 'The Red Cross Society has decided not to pay any attention to the communication until it is officially transmitted to It by the Turkish government cr the Turkish minister. My answer is very simple, and is as follows: The Red Cross has never communicated with this legation. It has only communicated, to my knowledge, with the press and the public, Its president. Miss Clara Barton, assisting, without protest, at public meetings where the most gross and unjust abuse was made of the Turkish government, religion and race. As the Red Cross, or any of Its representatives, never visited this legation, it is clear and logical that this legation ha nothing to communicate to said society. This legation sent Its communication to the press, because it U the public that the Red Cross took in its confidence. But. naturally, I will always be ready and pleased to give to the Red Cross Society any explanation It may think It proper to ask for. "This whole question." added the Minis ter, "is a question of right Suppose, for one moment, that your own Indians were to revolt against your legitimate authority. Suppose you put down their revolt, and suppose that in eoir.e foreign country some foreigners were to calumlnate publicly your civilization, your race and your religion. Not satisfied with that, suppose that those foreigners, on the strength of such false accusations, were to raise money and bring it for distribution, throueh their own chan nels, however respectable the latter may be, to the very peoplo that revolted against your government. Would that money, raised on hatred and denunciation would even a moral aid from foreigners be wel comed to this great country of yours, however welcomed It might be, for obvious reasons, to your Indians? As you aee, this wnoie question is a very clear one. But I wisn you at the same time to understand that, even to-day, notwithstanding the contrary assurances of interested parties, the Turkish government has no animosity what ever against tne Armenlano. and only wisnea to see them prosper under its legiti mate and rightful authority." air. It. S. Tharln. wno has been one of the active movers regarding relief for the Armenians, has issued a call for all the Christian organizations in the United States to send delegates to a national Christian convention at Washington, to meet on Satur day, Feb. 22, 1SSG. "to consider the deplorable condition of Armenia, to devise ways and means for the amelioration thereof and to consider whether to memoralize Con gress to take effective measures to abate the nuisance now rampant on the Bosphorus." WILL COXTIXLB TUB WORK. tXatlonnl Armenian Relief Committee Will Distribute Funds. NEW YORK, Jan. 14. The following offi cial statement has been Issued from the headquarters of the National Armenian Relief Committee: "The reported inattention of the Turkish government to refuse the American Red Cross Society permission to enter Turkey will not cause the national relief commit tee and its branches throughout the country to relax their efforts for an instant in raising funds to save tho S50.000 Armenians who are perishing from starvation and ex posure. The national committee is the authorized agent throughout the country for raising funds and supplies to be dis tributed by the Red Cross, provided it en ters the .neld. but In case the Red cross is excluded the national committee has au thority to exercise existing agencies on the. ground or organize new ones, so that all contributors may be assured that their gifts will as speedily as possible reach the sufferers for whom they are intended. "Many are not aware of the fact that re lief work to the extent of not less than $100,00) has already been successfully carried out in Turkey during the past three months under the direction or a strong ana representative committee of foreign resi dents and diplomats in Constantinople, through European consuls, and the Americans who are found to be In all the principal cities of the interior. A letter just received from Canstantlnople. dated Dec. 27. states that fifty bales of clothing had been forwarded that week to Cesarea, and that It Is now nossible to forward large amounts of money safely to those engaged In this work in the devastates regions, 'ine itevi Cross could greatly enlarge this work. It seems Incredible that while the Tuklsh government is permitting such relief work it should exclude the Red Cross, which, as Is well known, will not step over a suffering Turk or Kurd to help an Armenlan. Meanwhile all funds should continue to be sent to Messrs. Brown Bros. & Co., No. Wall street, treasurers of the National Armenian relief committee." The statement is signed by Spencer Trask, chairman of the executive committee. . Want the Massacre Stopped. WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 21. Dispatches have been sent from this city to-day to Queen Victoria and President Cleveland asking them to put a stop to the massacres in Armenia and to aid the Red Cross in affording relief to the sufferers. These dispatches are signed, "Two hundred Armenian residents of Worcester, Mass." The dispatch to Queen Victoria is as follows: "We beseech you. by the love of God, to put an end to further massacres of our relatives and friends In Turkey, and to urge by every' means In your power that the Red Cross of all nations have protection in saving thousands from death by starvation and exposure." Relief Committees. LONDON. Jan. 14. Sir Phillip Currie, the British embassador to Constantinople, has reported to the Marquis of Salisbury that thirteen local committees io distribute relief In Armenia have been established under consular oilicers and American missionaries. He adds that $2:o,WO to SWO.OOO will be required between now and the spring to save the Armenians of Anatolia from starvation. - 3,000 Armenians Killed at Orfali. CONSTANTINOPLE.

The commissioner promptly branded the statement as false and demanded the name of the author. Baker refusing to tell, the encounters followed.

STUDYING THE BRIEFS. General Hnrrjuon Preparing; to Argae the California Irrigation Case. NEW YORK. Jan. 14. Ex-President Harrison, who is staying at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, denied himself to reporters to-day. It was, however, learned through Mr. Tibbott, secretary to General Harrison, that the latter was busily engaged In studying the briefs in the California Irrigation case in which the ex-President will argue in a few days before the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Tibbott did not attach any importance to the statement made yesterday by ex-Senator TPalmer, of Michigan, that "General Harrison is now and will not be a candidate for the Presidential nomination." "The same statement had been made three years ago by ex-Senator Palmer and repeated oftlmes since," said Secre'ary Tibbott. BADLY MANAGED CONCERN. Receiver Appointed for a Minneapolis! Loan Association. MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 14. The American Savings and Loan Association wentdnto the hands of a receiver to-day, application to the court having been made by Attorneygeneral Childs. MaJ. W. D. Halemann was named as receiver. The action was an entire surprise to the officers of the association, who knew nothing of the move until Receiver Halemann, accompanied by two deputy sheriffs and armed with the order of the court, arrived and took possession. The Attorney-general was moved to action by information filed with him by Bank Examiner Kenyon. Among the reasons given for the application were charges that In 1SS3 the officers lllegahy Invested tf2,CO0 In the capital of the German American Fire Insurance Company; that the management has been grossly extravagant and unbusinesslike, and that the laws of the State governing such associations have been ref eatediy violated. It is charged that James I. Bishop, president, and W. B. Stoneman, financial agent, have taken no steps to recover money illegally invested. Secretary T. E. Bishop called a meeting of the directors Immediately, and it is considered likely that the receivership will be resisted. The expenses of running the association for seven years are placed at $672,442 and the earnings at J1.C54.0G1. From the balance should be deducted $250,000 loss on the Insurance company Investment, leaving very little profit for the association. For three years the association has taken no new business, but has apparently been very extravagantly conducted. The salary list for one year was t33,662. The bank examiner's report, made in May, 1535, shows resources of $2,287,513. Including $49,87 rejected assets; cash on hand and In bank $183,984. The mortgage loan account footed up $1,015,726, of which $241,323 was in attorneys' hands for foreclosure. The examiner figured that $1,306,313 was totally inactive assets, while only $21,206 produced any income. Maturity of stock was, therefore very remote and indefinite. Lnmbrr Company Anslfcns. CHICAGO. Jan. 14. The Ketcham Lumber Company, one of the largest concerns In tho lumber district, failed to-day. The company made an assignment in the County Court to the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, and the assignee took charge of alU the property of the corporation. No statement was filed In court,-but the assets are estimated to bo from $500,000 to $00,000, while the liabilities are about $iT5,000. The assignee was appointed at the renncst nf nftornevs tor tne company, but they declined to make any statement, sayJ Ing they would leave it to tne assignee, me Titlo Guarantee and Trust Company, to do the talking. At the office of the Trust Company, Frank H. Sellers, manager of the trust department, said: "I understand that the assignment was Ill-advised, and there was really no reason for It beyond some trouble in the company itself. The assets are large, and fhe liabilities are all secured. It is said there are no outside creditors. No proceedings had been begun by any or tne creauors, oui some ui uem wanted to wind up the company and the assignment resulted." More Worry for the Linseed OH Trust. CHICAGO, Jan. 14. Further legal proceedings were commenced to-day in the Cir cuit Court against the National Linseed Oil Company by the filing of a bill by Loul A. Coauard. of St. Louis. The complainant asks for a dissolution of the company, and, pending thi3, the appointment of a receiver. The bill in general terms set up much of the same matter contained In the information riled by Attorney-general Moloney. A somewhat similar bill has been filed in the United States Court by the present complainant against the company. The compla'nant has 13.S40 shares of stock In the defendant company. In addition to the charge of violation of the State laws, the present complainant claims that the defendant has fraudulently increased its capital stock and is about to improperly declare dividends. It is also declared that the stock of the concern has been used for purposes of speculation, having . been "watered" with a liberal hand.

VENEZUELAN DISPUTE

COMMENTS OF LONDON NEWSPAPERS OX THE CONTROVERSY. Resolutions In Favor of a Permanent Arbitration Court Adopted at a 31eetlnff of Britlahers. LONDON, Jan. 15. An editorial in the Times this morning repeats that the only point in the Venezuela controversy on which England can concede nothing is the retention of the bona fide settled districts under -the British sovereignty. "If this can be secured." says the Times, "there is no reason to Insist on the Schomburgk line. The vagua talk about a permanent tribunal of arbitration can only tend to obstruct or obscure the more practical efforts to eolve the difficulty." The Chronicle this morning announces with great prominence the fact that the Associated Press had published in New York, yesterday morning, Lord Aberdeen's letter to M. Fortique. dated Jan. 31, 1842, which it prints textually and comments on at some length, declaring: "If the publication of this dispatch is intended to answer our commissioner's disclosures, It is no answer at all." The Chronicle believes that Sir Augustus Hemming, the newly-appointed Governor of British Guiana, on arriving at Georgetown, will have authority to deal with the Venezue lan government, if the latter so wishes. k Sir George Baden-Powell, who was the British member of the Bering sea oint commission, writes to the Times this morning, suggesting that Great Britain follow the successful Bering sea precedent and Invite Venezuela to appoint two representatives to meet two British representatives and form a Joint commission. If the commission should agree the question would be settled, and if they disagreed It would be necessary to negotiate a treaty, referring the matter to mediation or arbitration. - Sir John Lubbock presided at a meeting in London yesterday which passed a resolution in favor of a permanent arbitration court. The meeting appointed a committee to further the proposed movement including the bishop of Durham. Canon Wilberforce, Cardinal Vaughan, Dean Farrar, Lady Henry Somerset. W. T. Stead and William R. Cremer, the Member of Parliament who went to the United States some time since with a petition for an arbitration treaty signed by all the members of parliament and others. It is learned that official communications have been sent to the United States embassy indicating a much better state of affairs In regard to Venezuela. The Globe says It thinks that the pacific complexion of the situation is due to Emperor William, adding: "The moment the German sword rattled Brother Jonathan ceased to finger his revolver. Secretary Olney's appeal regarding the Transvaal, coming from the author of the enlargement of the Monroe doctrine, is an olive branch. Nor has reciprocity in friendship been lacking on our side." LCDAUDY'S I1LACKMA1LKIIS. Developments in the Latest Sensational FrencJi Scandal. PARIS, Jan. 14. The police continue making arrests In connection with the Lebaudy blackmailers. They have also been making domiciliary visits, and it is stated that the evidence thus obtained has involved high personages, Including a general.

It Is announced that the health of Field Marshal Von Blumenthal, chief of the general staff of the Prussian army, will not -permit of his taking part in the festivities attending the twentyfifth anniversary of the proclamation of the German empire, on Jan.

Edinburgh Scotsman. The leap year which now begins is, however, to a certain extent peculiar, since another will not occur for eight years. Such an interval has occurred twice before In the history of Scotland and only once in if, h,lstory of England, and two centuries will elapse before it occurs again. The last year of the present century, 1900, will not be a leap year, but 2OJ0, the last year of the succeeding century, will. The year 2100 will again be a common year, so that the next ptriod of seven consecutive common years will be between 210o and 2104. The rule by which this seemingly arbitrary Interference with an established order of things is regulated is comparatively simple, but its history Is in many respects both curious and interesting. As every one knows, the earth revolves round its axis, and also travels round the sun, the one revolution causing the alternation of day and night, the other that of the seasons, irom tne earliest times men have made use of both these series of changes as a means of reckoning time, and had there been a simple numerical relation between them there need never have been any trouble with leap years and uch devices. Unfortunately, however, this is not at present the case. The number of revolutions which the earth makes when it goes once round the sun, instead of being a whole number, is a number and a fraction; or, in other words, the earth goes round the sun in 365 days" 5 hours 4S minutes 46 seconds, of 365.2422 days. ..This was not, however, discovered in a"day. Various guesses were made at the proper length of the year, and calendars were drawn up in accordance with them. But in the course of time the error accumulated, with the result that the seasons changed places, and the vernal equinox. Instead of remaining at a fixed place In the calendar, moved backward or forward, according as the approximation was in excess or defect, and extra days had to be intercalated or omitted to set things right. By the time of Julius Caesar the Roman year, which consisted of 355 days, had worked loose by three months, so that the winter months had been carried back into autumn. In order to prevent such confusion in future, with the aid of Sosigenes, he fixed the length of the year at 2054 days, or three years of 365 days, followed by one of 366. At the same time, to bring ' the equinox to its proper place, he Intercalated ninety days into the current year of 353 days, making it 445 days probably the longest year on record. This was the Julian calendar, and to it we owe to this day the leap year which comes every fourth year. But the approximation on which the calendar was based, though much more accurate and convenient than any that had preceded It, gave too long a year by the difference between 363.25 and 365.2422, the error amounting to a day In 128 years. In the course of the centuries the equinox gradually receded toward the beginning of the year. Caesar had fixed it on March 25; by the time of the Council of Nice, held In 325. it fell on the 21st of March, and by 1.VS2 it had receded to March 11. In order to restore the equinox to the position it occupied in 325, when the Council of Nice had drawn! up regulations for the fixing of Easter, Pope Gregory, in 1582, directed ten days to be suppressed, and as the error was found to amount to three days in four hundred years he laid down that In future, the last year of every century should be an ordinary year, unless it Is divisible by four hundred, in which case it was to be a leap year. Thus 1900 will be an ordinary year, but 2,00 will be a leap year. Pope Gregory's correction gives an average year of 365.2125 days, or twenty-six seconds longer than the true year. These odd seconds will amount to a whole year in 3,323 years, and it has been proposed to allow for this error by providing that the year 4W0, and all its multiples, shall be common years. But this would be pedantic foresight, and it is unnecessary to discuss the question whether the year 4000 ought or ought not to be a leap year. In ages yet to come, when the friction of the tides has so retarded the rotation of the earth that 363 days make a year, leap years will be unnecessary. But that Is a still remoter contingency, . and In the meantime Pop Gregory's calendar Is likely to remain in Its present form. A NEW DISEASE. Street Railroad Conductors Are Most Likely to Contract It. Syracuse Post. There Is a new disease not down In the catalogue of the latest medical experts. Streat railway conductors arc the persons affected. As far as can be learned about a half dozen employes of the Syracuse Streetrailroad Company have lately been afflicted more or. less with a swelling of the eyes, acconrpanled by partial blindness. The conductors in question, without exception, stuck to their work, but one of them was forced to underpo medical treatment. He had observed from time to time that his hands grew black from contact with the brass railings of the car when he jumped on and off. In windy weather he had to wipe his eyes more or less to brush away the moisture. These two thing3 he only observed after he was well along In the stage of the eye trouble. He consulted a physician and was treated for metallic poisoning, finally recovering without difficulty. Then he came to the conclusion that the contact with the railing was responsible for the trouble. Since that time he has worn gloves and has not experienced the disease. But those conductors who do not know his experience may yet suffer. This man was afflicted for four weeks. Motormen are not troubled with the disease, as they wear gloves.

FATE OF FILIBUSTERS

EXPEDITIONS THAT HAVE SOI GUT TO AID CL'llA IN THE PAST. Some of the Incidents of the Dlnek Warrior' The VIrInlu" Tmredy and the Lftionw It Tausht. San Francisco Chronicle. The organization of bodies of men In various parts of the country to go to aid the struggle for freedom In Cuba enlists the sympathy of many, as it has always done, but at the same time those about to engage In such ventures would do well to look at the fate of former expeditions especially in view of the fact that with the cordon of armed vessels which Spain has thrown around tho island, capture is far more certain than ever before. Once a prisoner to . the Spaniard the story is eoon ended. The seizure of the American vessel Black Warrior in 1S54 in the harbor of Havana caused a strong feeling in all parts of the United States. Great sympathy was felt for the struggling patriots, and It found expression la public meetings, subscriptions of money for the purchase of arms and other needed supplies of war. Parties were organized in many of the cities, especially In the South, to go over to the island and take an active part in the struggle. Resolutions were introduced in Congress looking to a suspension of the neut. ity laws between this country and Sp.. 1 tils was not done, however, as the- effect would have been to give tacit encouragement to private parties to engage in depredations to private parties to engage in dep retook a milder course, and sent instructions to the American minister at Madrid to demand indemnity for the seizure of the vessel. The was accorded and the affair was brought to an amicable conclusion. But while the government was disposed to effect a peaceable settlement of the matter a good part of the people were not. and expeditions were organized in various cities, which called forth e proclamation from the President, which effectually put a step to such movements. There was a strong feeling, however, that the Cuban question would be one of continual trouble until settled by annexation, by diplomatic conference if possible, by force if peaceable negotiations failed. President Pierce Instructed the several American ministers or envoys at London, Paris and Madrid to confer together and report on the most feasible plan of getting possession of Cuba, These gentlemen met and, after deliberation, addressed a lettfr to the President, setting forth their views, which were, in substance, that the United States should acquire Cuba by purchase If possible, and if not possible that she was Justified by every law, human and divine. In taking it by force of arms from under Spanish rule. This proposal met with a storm of Indignation all over Europe and In most of the Northern States, but In the South and a good part of the West It was largely approvea. Mr. Pierce, though in sympathy with the project, did not recommend it, and the Idea was laid on the table, as It were, and through our own war from 1851 to 1863 and the troubles that followed turned the attention of our people to matters more nearly concerning themselves. THE VIRGINIUS AFFAIR. 'The old sentiment of sympathy for the Cuban patriots, and a desire to see them free and under the protection of the stars and Btrlpes, again kindled with the outbreak of 18C8, and these feelings were openly, expressed by the press and In public meetings. Strong efforts were made to have the government recognize the independence of the island, but President Grant went no further than to try to effect an amicable arrangement by which Spain would relinquish her claims to Cuba. Spain emphatically declined to sell, as she had done in 1854, and, as far as the United States government was concerned, the matter was dropped. Not so, however, with individuals. The filibustering of former years again became the popular rage many of the exsoldiers of both armies forming- themselves Into parties to "free Cuba." Several of these expeditions were broken up by the United States authorities, which, under the orders of the President, took prompt and vigorous action, and there was a quieting down of public feeling and interest in the affairs of Cuba until October, 1873, when it again burst forth like a flash, caused by the seizure of the American steamer Vlrginius and the summary execution of the greater part of those on board of her. The Vlrginius was fitted out by a Junta of Cuban patriots in New York to convey men and arms to the island Insurgents. Several cargoes had been sent aver before, but this expedition was doomed to failure. Che steamer went from New York to Nassau, and from that point cleared for Port Limon, Costa Rica, with more than one hundred men besides the crew cn board. The real destination was, of course, Cuba Calling at Port au Prince for arms and ammunition that had been set -ere by another vessel, she proceeded o way, but on nearing the Island was 1 and overhauled on Oct. 23 by the Sm t gunboat Tornado, and carried to Sau. Ago de Cuba, though she was flying the stars and stripes. Her captain. Fry, an ex-Federal and Confederate officer, protested in vain. He was refused communication with his consul and thrown into prison with his whole complement of men and passengers, among the latter of whom were the patriot leaders. Del Sol, Ryan, Cespedes and Varona, who were at once tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. Ryan and Verona refused to kneel, and were shot as they stood. The four heads were cut oft, stuck on pikes and carried through tbe city to the windows of the prison, to show their comrades what fate to expect. BARBAROUSLY BUTCHERED. The American and English consuls made' vain efforts to protect the remaining prisoners. The next day, Nov. 7, Fry and fiftyone companions were butchered in the presence of a brutal mob, who mutilated their remains In the most barbarous manner. Among these victims was young Crittenden, the on of ex-Senator John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, and for whom every effort was made by his companions and the foreign citizens of the town, but in vain. The "btast" Burriel would listen to nothing in the way of an appeal for clemency, and the boy died with hi3 comrades. There were ninety-three men left. What was to be their fate? - Castelhar. tho Spanish Minister, under the influenc? of emphatic pressure from the British Foreign Office, cabled Burriel to be less, hasty. Burriel, however, decided not to heed nnd ordered the execution of tne remaining prisoners. Providence interposed, however, for before the sentence could be executed the British sloop of war NioDtr came into the harbor, hurrying from Jamaica at ire first news if the tragedy if Nov. 0. Without saluting the fort, but vIth her flaii &t the peak, her crew at their quarters and her portholes open, she rounded up 10 the Tornado ready to give the Spanaris a Usson In the laws of humanity If ne.v.ssary. He brooked no parly or delay. "Stop your murders or I bombard your town," said the English officer. The United States minister at Madrid, General Sickles, insisted on the fullest apology for the Insult to his country's flag and heavy Indemnity for the families of the murdered men. His demands were conceded, and a treaty was about to be signed covering them, when aivices from Was'hingtori called a halt, caused the Spanish minister to retract his concession and General Sickles to telegraph his resignation to Washington, where the Spanish minister had been able to show his skill as a diplomat in securing a protocol from the Secretary of State, which nullified General It would be hard to say what the terms of this paper were. They were secret and extraordinary, as was the manner In which it was drawn up. Suffice to say, however, the United States waived her demands for a salute to the flag, accepting an apology instead: waived the question of indemnity and did not insist on the punishment of the murderers. The only visible reparation beyond what the British captain found at the cannon's mouth was the surrender of the captured vessel. To that officer Congress refused to vote thanks, but miners out West sent him a silver brick fourteen pounds -In weight as a testimonial of their esteem. This tragedy and the action of our government in this, as in other matters more recently, should be a warning to those who from a spirit of adventure or any other motive are tempted to go over and help the Cubans. .

Tim iv or n 1: ATi 1. A Ghastly Novelty for the Amiincmeftt of the French Capital. New York World. The latest and most extraordinary exhibition cf degeneration In Paris is the Cabaret du Neant. which may be translated In English as the Inn of Death Its chief attraction lies In the association of death and its mot repulsive attriLutr a with drinking and with -life and feverish gayety. Death, which all decent men. or whatever belief, have agreed to treat with some reserve, is thus made a Jt-st and asoSiT1 wItn lhe mo?t vulgar of pleasures. . carabet Is situated on the Boulevard' u Cllchy, the most riotous and notorious f the exterior boulevards and the site cf many other strange places of amustrmnt. It is a haunt of every kind of vlleness, and is invariably visited by the foreigner Wno wishes to see Paris properly. A few steps beyond the picturesque and vicious, but now common-place Moulin, Rouge you come to the Carabet du Neant. Two large and sickly green lights, making everything and everybody in the neighborhood ghastly and death-like, notify you of its presence. It is a small, dismal building. Through a door draped with dead-black curtains edged with silver, such as are placed on church doors at funerals in France, you enter this unholy resort. Here is the latest and most satisfactory and also the vilest and most sacrilegious effort to pander to the. craving for tbe morbid and the unnatural. The room you enter Is vault-like and, filled with cotiins. These are really the tables from which you are to drink. Waiters dressed as undertakers men. In blaclc clothes with long streamers of crape hanging from their big hats, flit about the cafe. They are chosen foe their cadaverous aspect. Tne poor wretches are working for a living, and have no responsibility in the ghastly farce In which they aro concerned. The undertaker waiters call out in sal tones: "Welcome to death," and "Chooa your coffin." Having chosen your coffln and ordered your poison (probably beer), the waiter brings it to you, repeating somo s tch formula as: , "Here is something to finish yo; off a drink made from microbes and grav worms." Then he sets down your glass and places, a cierce. a xuneral taper, by the side of it. It Is hardly necessary to say that you pay very high for a drink amid these surroundings. All around you hear the undertaker waiters repeating their dreadful phrases: "Welcome to death." "Here Is something to poison you." "The dead cannot laugh." "This makes you rot quickly." On the walls are what appear to b paintings representing the "W'tturf : Night" from "Faust," "A Night Fete at the Moulin Rouge," and other u.jtei.. From time to time all the figures in tho pictures chn to skeletons. . The effeit in the Moulin Rouge scene is especially weird. You are then invited to take your ciergc, and. In company with other visitors, ar led through long, vault-like corridors. At last you arrive in a large room, draped in black, with no relief whatever. A man dressed as a monk, with a huge cowl over his head, stands at the door and calls for silence. At the end of a long, narrow passage leading from the room an upright coffln Is seen. A chorister in red robes comes forward and invites some visitor to place himself or herself In the coffin. There la never any difficulty In finding a volunteer. This Is. In fact, an important part of the amusement for many of the visitors who have seen the chow before. The volunteer passes behind a curtail and reappears. la front of the coftTn. in, which he Is placed by the chorister with great care. Then he is enveloped In a huge winding sheet. This performance Is gone through to the strains of dirgelike music from the harmonium. Presently eigns of decomposition appear in the corpse. Under the winding heet It becomes yislble. The flesh gradually leaves the bonea by the process of decay, and at last only a skeleton Is left. An emotional visitor may experience relief when the volunteer again steps forward in the fleh. The visitors return through the vaultlike corridors, and on their returning to the drinking room are greeted with phrases even more blasphemous than the first, sifh as "Welcome to the resurrected!" The final greeting of the manager of the establishment as you pass out into the street i-, "Mar your life be sweet and free from care!" He can hardly claim to have contributed to Its sweetness. Tho cabaret is doing a roaring bu!ness and is nightly thronged with hundreds of customers. Among them, of course, aro conspicuous the women who are conventionally supposed to make P?ris a gay city. Probably they derive from the exhibition a satisfaction like that of people who hug their sorrows. Premature decay and death are the fate of most of them. At any rate, it is natural that they should be attracted to the unnatural. Jnit Like a Woman. Judge. "Come!" he cried. "There's not a moment to lose." The dam had given way and the flood was carrying everything before It. Joining the panic-stricken wretches who had been rendered homeless without a word of warning, they made a wild rush for the bridge. But their trouble had Just begun. As they neared the bridge the structure tottered and then seemed to crumble away as it disappeared in the raging torrent with the report of a thousand guns. All seemed to be lost. He looked Into the white face of the girl at his side. With arms upheld she made a mute appeal to him to save her. He remembered that high up in the hills there was a little flimsy bridge that was seldom used.Perhaps it had euryjved the general havoc. At any rate. It was their only chance, and he half carried and half dragged the limp body of the girl up the hillside. "Thank God!" he cried at last. "It still stands." While he was regaining his strength for the final effort the girl began to revive. But the horrors of the last hour had lvn too much for her and she had loft her nerve. He besought her In every way to be brave, but nothing could Induce her to put her foot on the swaying bridge. Taking her firmly in hiB arms he felt his way Inch by Inch. When they were half way across sh5 chanced to look down. The mad torrent was rushing with terrific speed nearly a hundred feet below. As the dathlng spray drenched her to the skin she saw the sharppointed rocks clearly outlined above the foam of the churned waters, and a feeling of horror convulsed her frame, "George." she said, as she clasped him tighter around the neck. "If you let me fall I'll never speak to you again." A Word for Keely.. Detroit Tribune, Science Is somewhat d!?po?el to call Keely, the motor man. spiteful names, and to laugh his claims to scorn as being impossible of realization, while founding its attitude upon no surer basis than certain dogmas put forth generally upon inductive derivation.

That which commonly goes under the name of science has yet to make Its most important discovery, namely, the discovery of humility.
