At It close Mr. Sherman moved an executive session and at t o'clock the doors were closed. The executive es??cn was brief. When the open session was resumed a bill was past! ma kins Santa. Barbara. Cal., a subport of entry. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up. When the provision was reached lor a commiJJion to negotiate with the Yakima Indians, Washington, Mr. Hoar moved to strike out the proviso, "that not more than two of them shall be of the same political party. He urged the Inconsistency of asking the President In naming Indian romn:t:sionrs to consider the politics of the members. He also suggested that this would disqualify many citizens who belonged to no political party. Mr. Daniel urged that there; fhould be equal recognition cf the established political parties. Mr. Pettigrew, in charge of the bill, said the Yakima Indians were divided in their politic, and it was only fair that both parties should be represented in a negotiation with them. The provision flaally went over. Mr. Cannon offered an amendment that the members of a .commission treating with Indians should be bona tide residents of the State cr Territory in which the Indians are located. A vote on the amendment wa3 deferred. An amendment by llr. Jones was agreed to. Increasing the appropriation for surveys In the Indian Territory to $300,000. The bill was laid aside at 5 o'clock.

At 5 p. m. the Senate adjourned. The executive session was for the purpose of allowing Mr. Sherman to give notice that he would ask at an early day to take up the treaty providing a commission to consider the Bering sea seizure claims. Owing to the absence of Senator Morgan, the treaty was not pressed and if the Senator Is able to attend soon consideration will be deferred. Creator Morgan la reported as much better to-day. Senator Sherman, speaking for the foreign relations committee, said it was desirable to have the treaty disposed of as soon as possible,-

On the first vote M tid a majority of 2, but the opposition xvas aggressive and, after a series of votes. It was recommitted, 130 to Z0. Tne remainder cf the day was devoted to debate on the bill to exempt sailing vessels engaged In the coastwise trade from compulsory pilotage laws, with the understanding that a vote should be taken at 2 o'clock to-morrow.

In the course of his remarks, charged that Mr. Chamberlln's commission of navigation had been lobbying In favor of the bill. "I know," said he, "of a mugwump, one Chomberlin, commissioner of navigation, who has been Importuning members in the interest of this bilL I remember that Grover Cleveland a few days ago removed from the governorship of Arizona one Hughes, who was accused of trying to influence members on the Arizona land lease bill, and I say to you that if you have any regard for the oflclal life of the commissioner of navigation you wil! allow this bill to be defeated, for if this bill passes and Grover Cleveland Is true to the principle be laid 10T7n In the Hughes case, the commissioner of navigation will very speedily navigate out of Washington." (Laughter and applause.) ilr.

Hot Permitted to Serve a. Sentence In Jail When He Wanted To. WASHINGTON, April S. A peculiar case, where the President was obliged to come to the relief of a man who tried, and for a tlcaa la vain, .to go into Jail to serve his sentence, came to light in the routine presentation, of pardon cases to-day. J. Steuben Phillips was the man, and for "working In a dl tlftery without any sign" he was arrested by revenue agents and eentenced by the court in South Carolina to three months In Jail. That was at the September term of court last year, and. for some reason, maybe to permit the man to harvest his little crops, the Judge lr Sils sentence provided that the term of imprisonment should not begin until the 1st of January of this year. The rest of the story Is told in the 'President's Indorsement on the case, which Is as follows: "Granted. This prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, to begin Jan. i, ltZZ. On that day he reported at the Jill for Che purpose of entering on his term, and was refused admittance because his commitment papers had not arrived. For this reason he did not begin his term until Feb. 19, 1896. lr f,e bid been admitted on the Iay his sentence -'equired, his term would bave expired before the present time. In view of this fact, and the- pitiable condition of his family, and on Ihe recommendation of the Judge and district attorney, hds pardon is granted." The President has pardoned Jose Almencaris, sentenced In New Mexico to two years' imprisonment for adultery, and David 1. Driver, aenterced in Arkansas, in 1894. to three years imprisonment for Illicit distill122. POORLY-PAID TOILERS. !? T7onder Sfanr Clrla In Berlin Ttrttt Into Lives of Shame. WASHINGTON, April 8.-After eleven years of the most careful consideration and patient Investigation the German government has been able to accomplish nothing .towards the amelioration cf the condition of the miserable victims cf the sweating system la the great German cities. Max Judd. United States consul-general at -Vienna, in a report to the State Department on the. late cloak and clothing strike In that city, makes this statement and furnishes a good deal of information respecting the extent a&d methods- of the sweating system la Germany. Berlin is the greatest center for persons being employed in their production, end they are miserably paid. A fair workman earns J1.4I per week, fubject to loss of time through being laid off during the dull seasons. That is for expert hands; beginners get no pay, and the?e people receive no cick benefit, being too poor, to contribute to the relief funds. , The government vainly sought to do something to carry out the direction, of tho Reichstag to better the condition of these poor women, and it Is no wonder, the consul fays, 'that many drift Into lives of shame," . Bimetallism In Germany. WASHINGTON, April S.-The Parliament movement in Germany toward bimetallism Is described in a report to the State Department by United States Commercial Agent Moore, at Welmer. He says that on llarca II the economic committee of the imperial Reichstag decided to bring in the following resolution: "The Reichstag shall declare that international bimetallism best answers the interests of Germany and request the confederate governments (German states) to do all that is In 'their power in order to establish and secure by international convention a fixed proportion of valuo between silver and gold." Mr. Moore explains that this economic committee is not a branch of the regular organization of the Imperial Reichstag, but a self-constructed committee, with . permanent organization composed largely of members of the Agrarian party, and it Is in the ranks of this party that bimetallism finds Its adherents in Germany. It is known, says, Mr. Moore, that a oorrejpondiug proposition will be pubmittd eimultaneously In Paris and London. This movement has attracted great attention afresh la Europe to the money situation. To Appeane A. P. A. Members. WASHINGTON. April 8.-The. District of Columbia appropriation, which was recommitted to the committee by the House on account of the aid carried by it to charitable Institutions, was to-day. considered by that committee and remodeled $o far as it applied to private institutions. The question which caused so fierce a contest in tho House was disposed of by a very sweeping amendment All of the items for private and serciXvrivate institutions which have heretofore depended largely on the government for support were stricken from the bill. In place of these appropriations a lump sum of O4.700. equal to the total of the various items, is added for the relief and care of the poor and ueh charitable and reformatory work as fctrtteXore been provided for by District

appropriations to be expended by the District commissioners, either under contract or by employing the public institutions of the District. The amendment ends with this clause: "That no part of the money herein appropriated shall.be paid for the purpose of maintaining or aiding, by payment for services or expenses, or otherwise, any church or religious denomination, or any institution or society vrhich is under sectarian or ecclesiastical control." Henderson Bankruptcy Dill. WASHINGTON, April 8. Tho House committee on Judiciary to-day completed its work upon the bankruptcy bill and decided to report the bill to the House this week. The measure is based on the old Torrey bill, which has been before Congress for several years. Under the bill as framed involuntary bankruptcy can be forced only for fraudulent or wrongful acts, or when tho debtor, being Insolvent, suspends payment for thirty day3. Safeguards are provided to prevent the dissipation of estates by the expanses of bankruptcy. When the bill is called up in committee Friday for the formality of a vote- Mr. liailey, of Texas, will move to substitute the biU introduced by him. which provides for a purely voluntary system of bankruptcy, and 13 the bill which was passed by the House in the last Congress with the amendemnts proposed by Senator Hoar. The Republicans will vote for the committee measure, which will be known as the Henderson bill, and that probably will be reported to the House. A Law Without Grover'a Signature. - WASHINGTON; April 8. The act originating In the Senate to authorize the leasing of lands for educational purposes in Arizona to-day became a law without the President's approval. This particular measure waa really framed to meet certain objections made by the President to an original bill passed by the House Jan. 16 last. That bill was vetoed by the President, but was promptly passed over the veto upon its return to the House. Pending action of a similar nature In the Senate another bill was drawn up there and passed to meet the President's objections. This bill contained a proviso making it unlawful to cut, remove or appropriate any timber from the leased lands and forbidding the leasing of more than one section ef land to any one person, corporation or association of persons, two matters that the President had in mind when he vetoed the original bill. But the addition of these safeguards did not suffice to secure the President's approval for the act and It became a law without his signature. Elsht-IIoar Lnvr Favored by Gomperi.' WASHINGTON, April S.--The House committee on labor to-day heard Mr. Corliss, of Michigan, who advocated the passage of his bill providing that all persons employed by the United States, or by any contractor or subcontractor doing wortt for the United States or the District of Columbia, must be full citizens of the United States. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, said that as the several branches of his organization had not expressed an opinion on Mr. Corliss's bill, he would say nothing In regard to it. He favored Representative Phillips's bill to enforce the eight-hour law In connection with government work of all kinds, and also advocated the passing of a bill to prohibit the transportation between 'States of the product of convict labor. He expressed a hope that the bill appointing a labor commission, which has been favorably reported by the committee, would become a law. i Cases of Contumacious Witnesses. WASHINGTON, April 8.'-It is the intenr tlon of the government to push as rapidly as possible the prosecution of remaining witnesses Indicted for contumacy in refusing to answer questions in the Senate Sugar Trust investigation committee of almost two years ag-o. Elverton R. Chapman, the New York broker, whose conviction by the District Supreme Court was affirmed yesterday by the District Court of Appeals, will come over from New York to surrender himself Monday. The prosecution will set an early date for trial or the other cases and call them up one after another without awaiting the action on the appeal. The other defendants are President Havemyer and Secretary and Treasurer Searles, of the American Sugar Refining Company; broker W. J. McCartney, of Washington, and newspaper correspondents K. J. Edwards, of New York, and J. Schriver, of Washington. The Indiana Still n Prisoner. WASHINGTON, April 8. The , battle ship Indiana Is still In the dry dock at Pore Royal, though it was expected that she would come out yesterday. All necessary arrangements were made to that end; but there was not enough water over the sill of the dock to permit the big chip to float out, but it 13 hoped that in the course of a day or two, with the increasing tide, the Indiana may come out easily. To prevent the settlement of the ship on the blocks under her bottom, fifteen feet of water has been let into ttie dock, not enough to float the ship off the blocks, but sufficient to relieve greatly the pressure upon them. Constructor Taylor has Just returned to Washington from Port Royal, and he says that the ship was admirably handled in the docking. Her bottom was found to be in excellent condition.

Murray to lie Seated. WASHINGTON, April 8.-Four contested election cases were decided to-day by House elections committee No. 3.

CASE OF REV. KNAPP

TURKS SAY THE "DETAINED" AMERICA IS WELL TREATED. Proposed Expulsion of Slisslonarles from Armenia Condemned by EnglishmenAnother Consul Needed. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 7, via Sofia, Bulgaria, April 8. The publicity given to the case of the Itev. George P. Knapp has caused considerable excitement in official circles here and explanations which were not previously forthcoming are now to be had at first hand. The TurkirSi Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tewflk Pasha, late this evening voluntarily declared that while It was true that the Rev. Mr. Knapp, the American missionary of Bitlls, is detained at Diarbekir, the missionary is well treated and is a "guest" at the residence of the vali of. DiarbeKir. It is not denied, however, that it was Intended to expel Kev. Mr. Knapp from Asiatic Turkey. But it is possible that the representations of the United States charge d'affaires, Mr. John- W. Itlddle, may succeed In obtaining from the Porte concessions which otherwise miffht have been refused, and that the missionary may be brought here for trial in the presence of representatives of the United States government, which Li understood to be rhe course advocated from the rirst by Minister Terrell, who Is now in Washington, and who has doubtless furnishei the State Department with full Information on the subject. Mr. Riddle, however, is awaiting a report from Diarbekir relative to the case of the Rev. Mr. Knapp before taking any further official steps in the matter. It Is also hoped that the attention which has been drawn to the contemplated expulsion of the Christian missionaries and agents of the American Red Cross Society from Asiatic Turkey may have sufficient weight with the Sultan to prevent the carrying cut of this plan, which, ft is said, originated with a power very friendly at present to Turkey and had for its ultimate object the substitution for the expelled missionaries the emissaries of another church. Englishmen Indignant. LONDON, April 8. There is much indignation in England over the intention of the Sultan of Turkey to exclude Christian missionaries from Asia Minor, and those who were active In measures In behalf of the Armenians take a leading part also in voicing the public sentiment on this question. The case of tho Rev. G. P. Knapp, the American missionary at BItlls, who is detained at Diarbekir, is attracting much attention. A special meeting of the Armenian relief committee was held to-day to give expression of opinions on this subject. The Duke of Argyll presldeu, and he stated that tho Duke of Westminster had received Information that hostile measures against the Christian missionaries were contemplated by the Sultan. The secretary of the committee reported that an lrade had apparently already beei signed by the Sultan decreeing that the missionaries should be. banished and that Rev. Mr. Knapp's withdrawal was viewed with consternation bv his colleagues and would be most disastrous in every way. After hearing these statements of the situation, which were confirmatory of the news published in the press, tne meetine adopted a resolution introduced by Canon Gore, nrotestlng against the measures threatened by the Sultan and urging the British government to do Its utmost to secure the immediate withdrawal of the lrade. The case of Mr. Knapp was made the subject of a special expression. C. E. Schwann, Radical member of Parliament for North Manchester, proposed a resolution to the effect that the committee, having heard with deep regret of the imprisonment of Mr. Knapp at Diarbekir, earnestly requests the government to take immediate steps to obtain the release of Mr. Knapp, whose self-denial and labors in the distribution of relief to starving Armenians had been the means of saving many lives. This motion was adopted unanimously. The meeting then appointed a deputation consisting of Canon Gore, Professor Bert and Sir J. Kennaway, Conservative member of Parliament for Honlton. Devon, to wait on Mr. Arthur Balfour. First Lord of the Treasury, and to urge on him to Increase the number of British consuls in Asiatic Turkey, as their presence there had a salutary effect in restraining the outrages on Christian subjects of the Sultan and in giving countenance to the work of relief by the missionaries, j Consul Needed at Alexnndretta. ; WASHINGTON. April 8. Senator Sherman, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, to-day gave notice of an amendment intended to bo proposed by him to the sundry civil appropriation bill providing for the appointment of a consul at either Harpoot or Alexandretta, Turkey, and In support of the amendment filed a statement from Secretary Oiney. Mr. Olney states that, while the Turkish authorities acquiesced In the establishment of a consulate at Erzercum, they declined to grant an exequatur to the vice conful sent to Harpoot In accordance with the action of Congress at the last session on the ground that the United States have no commercial interests at the latter place. He expressed the fear that a like denial will be encountered this year and requests that provision can be made for a temporary appointment at Alexandretta. "While," he says, "it la well known that Great Britain has recently obtained an exequatur for a vice consul at Harpoot, it Is believed that the opening of a United States consulate there would be useful. Nevertheless, Jn view of the present delay encountered In doing so and after a further careful consideration of the question, I am led to believe that the Interests of this country and Its citizens res'dIng in Asia Minor would be greatly benefited meanwhile by the establishment of a consulate at Alexandretta, on the coast of Syria, where an officer would be most favorably located for looking after the American missions and schools in that section of the Ottoman empire." To He Tried for II Iff h Treason. LONDON, April 9. A dispatch from Pretoria to tho Times says: "In the Landdrost Court to-day all of the members of the reform committee were committed for trial at the next session of the high court on a charge of high treason for their participation In the Johannesburg uprising. The Landdrost Court reserved Its decision as to whether or not to allow ball until it had consulted with tho state attorney." LI Will Not Visit America. LONDON, April S. The Times will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Singapore which says that LI Hung Chang has abandoned his proposed American tour, but that after the Czar's coronation, at Moscow, he will proceed to London to see Lord Salisbury.

STOW Y'ORK. Aprf a.-The World this morning says: Lieut. Col. Peter Glenn, who has been BaiUngton Booth's right-hand man and first recruit in the Volunteer movement, sent in his resignation yesterday, together with that of his wife. At the same time they notified Commissioner Booth-Tucker cf their action and requested to be reinstated in the Salvation Army in any capacity. In their leiter to Booth-Tucker tho Glenns state that they have concluded that Baiiir.gton Booth took a wrong step in severing himself from the army. Being of this opinion, they desired to undo the wrong they had done the army in leaving by being permitted to enter it and labor for it as before. Colonel Glenn said last night that no overtureshad been made to 'him by the army, but the step was taken purely from a sense of duty. Salvation Army Canard. LONDON, April S. The Evening News this afternoon says that it learns on the highest authority that the recent meeting between Ballington Booth and his sister, Mrs. Booth-Tucker, resulted in a compromise by which the Volunteers will continue as a distinct body for special work among the rich with General Booth nominally in supreme charge and with Ballington Booth the permanent local head of the new force. This, the News says it Is believed, will obviate the difficulty which has arisen In regard to the funds. CHICAGO, April 8. Commander Ballington Booth emphatically denied the report regarding an alleged reconciliation between the divided armies. 'Tnere is absolutely no foundation for the report. I deny that I ever made any such compromise with my father. Make that as strong as possible," said Commander Booth. Wild Horses. Philadelphia Record. When President Cleveland was elected in 1S32, with an unwieldy Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, his defeated opponent found grim satisfaction in predicting the troubles ahead in managing the wild horses to whom he likened the unfledged lawmakers of the Democracy. The Ilarrlsonian prophecy was more than fulfilled. There was trouble. Indeed; and not much else. What good might have been accomplished by the neophytes In the House was balked and baffled by the hellgramltes in the Senate. In repudiating the Democratic Congress of 1892, however, the people filled the vacancy left by 'the retirement of wild horses with wild asses. Consummate a manager of men as Speaker Reed has proved himself to be, when he came to the work of making up his committees from the material on hand he was in despair. There are havenless ships on the sea. Wind-whipped to a treacherous shore; . and. no doubt, he wished himself on board of one of them. The only safe thing to do was, as he declared, to "lay to" and do nothing. Thus far this policy has succeeded pretty well, but there are signs of mutiny. Only last week the wild asses kicked up their heels and got away from Mr. Reed. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to turn them loose, as proposed, In May, before Irreparable Injury shall have been done to Republican prospects. To Be Created Duchesses. London Letter. 'It Is reported that Queen Victoria had arranged with Lord Salisbury at Nice for the creation of her daughters. Princess Christian, Prlncessi Beatrice and Princess Lculse, as duehesse9 In their own right. It was reportedehortly after the- death of the husband of Princess Beatrice, Prince Henry of Battenberg. that the Queen would maka the Princess Duohess of Kent. This earldom andi duchy is one. of .the 'oldest in English history. During the half century before the Conquest it had formed one of the great Saxcn earldoms, and had been ruled by the House of Godwin; it continued to give Its name to a succession of great Norman Lords, after its inhabitants had proffered their fealty td the "Allen King." Olo, Bishop of Bayeux. and half brother of the Conqueror, was the first Norman earl; and his immediate successors were William of Ypres and Hubert de Bdrgh the ."gentle Hubert" of Shakspeare's "King John." whose life was one long romance, and whose resolute defens? of Dover Castle against IouU of France saved the country, in all probability, from the) accession cf a French dynasty. The duchy, was, first created by Queen Anne as a reward for the pclltlcar services of Henry Grey; .but It' lapsed -with him. and It has only cr one subsequent occasion been revived, as a titular designation for the sen of Gccrge III, who became the father of Queen Victoria, The Correspondents in Cuba. Murat Halstead, in Review of Reviews. The correspondents of the American newspapers In Havana were the same sort of men found in attendance upon our national conventionsIntelligent, keen on the scent for news, intense In their appreciation of minutes, men to whom a day is as a thousand years, measuring the whole distance between a "scoop" and a failure. They all knew that which might be of the utmost consequence to-day would be as old ps Greece and Rome cr Egypt to-morrow. Their difficulty it would hardly do to call it weakness was their lack of the Fame quick apprehension in the appreciation of the conditions of war that was habitual to them in sizing up minor matters. Why should they not find the facts and telegraph them straight to New York? Why should they not go through the lines and report the rebels? Where was the

harm? But mere was ine soua oiu biuue postofflce. with cne end in it of the wire that dipped into the Gulf to rise again at Key West; and there was an armed guard at the door: and this tomb of telegrams kept its own secrets, partially revealed when the New York papers arrived three days' issues all at once and the broken-hearted saw how ruthlessly the stories had been slaughtered and were mysteriously perverted; but the why and the wherefore receded beyond all reason or conjecture. Louses by Fire. ROCKFORD, Mich., April 8. The business portion of this place was wiped out bv Are early -this morning. The loss Is about $30,000; partially covered bv insurance.

THE SOUDAN'S FUTURE

CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH TUB COUNTRY WAS LOST TO EGYPT. Barbarism That Una , Overrun the Land and the Need for Relief at the Hands of European Powers. New York Times. . . Slatln Pasha's book, "Fire and Sword in the Soudan," contains as Its final chapter tho views of Slatln In reference to the geographical Importance and political future of that country, as affecting Egypt and those European powers that have possessions in parts cf Africa adjacent to It. Before the English edition of the book was published translation of this chapter had been made from the original German by Prof. Wrilliara Libbey, of Princeton. The Times 13 able to present below several timely passages from the translation. Readers who have followed the recent action of England in reference to the Soudan will find these passages Interesting: "After a stay of nearly seventeen years in Africa, of which seven were spent as a prisoner, shut off from all communication with the civilized worlu. it was my good fortune to return to Europe. How greatly has Africa changed in that time Regions In the exploration of which Livingstone, Grant, Baker, Stanley, Cameron, Erazza, Junker, Schweinfurth. Wlssmann, Holub and Lenz hazarded their lives have been opened to civilization. In the greater portions of these regions, where in the earlier days travelers were forced to contend with the greatest dangers, we now find military posts and stations, which afford the most extensive safety 1 and aid to a commerce which is constantly on the Increase. The spheres of influence of Italy, England and Germany on the east, and of the Congo State, France and England on the west, are dally on the increase, and in the not distant future they will meet in the heart of the continent. "The most northerly and still Independent Mohammedan States of Wadal. Bornu and the Fellatah kingdoms are aproachlng these aggressive 'powers with the intention of making alliances with them, since they see in this the only means of continuing their existence. In the center of Africa, between these countries and the advancing forces, lies the Soudan, which formerly belonged to Egypt, but which is tow ruled by the despotic Mahdlst leader, Challf Abdullahl. No European dares to cross the boundary of this country: along the Nile, as far south as Redjaf, and from Kassala, In the east, nearly to Wadal, on the west, the venturesome traveler would be cut off from all civilization, and either death or' imprisonment for life would be his fate. CAUSES OF REVOLT. "Still, it is but ten years ago that this region was betrayed into such a condition. For more than sixty years, since the time of Mohammed Ail, it was under the rule of Egypt. Egyptian and European merchants lived in tho principal cities. Foreign nations had their representatives even in Khartoom, and travelers of all nations could not only cros3 the country unhindered, but even found protection and assistance. Telegraph and regular mail services aided the intercourse with distant lands; mosques and Christian churches and mission schools advanced the religious and moral education of the people. The country was inhabited by the most varied typical races, which, although they were Inclined to bo hostile among themselves, while they were held under by' the force and severity of the government, did not dare to break the peace. Discontent undoubtedly dominated the land, and I have shown that the greed of the office holders and the repeated Instances cf bad government drove the inhabitants to open revolt. I have tried to show how it was that Mohammed Achmed strove to utilize the temper abroad In the land to his own ends. Knowing full well that only a religious factor could unite the various inimical races, he announced himself as the divinely sent Mahdl, who had come to free the land from the foreign yoke and to regenerate religion; in this way, by fanning the flame of fanaticism, he invoked the sad shadow which has shrouded the history of the Soudan for the past twelve years. "Without this fanaticism the revolution could not have been so successful; with it and by means of it a warlike enthusiasm was awakened the like of which it not to be found since the middle ages, or perhaps even at more remote times than these. I have attempted to describe, step by step, the predominant causes which have led to this sorrowful condition cf things. These causes have, naturally, become weaker in their effective power since the time when the Mahdl and his successors stood at the zenith of their power: nevertheless, the situation must be prudently considered, and a full knowledge of the relations and their historical development is necessary in order to understand the conditions exactly under which this broad region, at present plunged in a state of indescribable moral, political and social depression, can once more be made accessible to civilization. "In the Soudan wo have the sad nlcture of a civilization, unripe, but still caoable of development, being suddenly overthrown by wild and almost barbarous races, who have established upon the ruin a form of government, and now exercise dominion according to certain established principles, it is true, but treading all right and morality under foot; while they maintain their control with cutrageous unrighteousness, a barbarity regardless of consequences, and full of the deepest Immorality. It would almost be impossible in modern times to find another country in which a certain degree of civilization had existed for half a century where in so short a. time a reversion has taken place to a condition so closely resembling the lowest form of barbarism. "The domain of the Challf had originally about the same area as the former Egyptian province of the Soudan; the limits of his domain have, however, been reduced in recent times. How have the relations of this region been changed! Areas which were flourishing to the highest degree, richly peopled districts, have been converted Into deserted wastes, the great plains over which the Arabs of the west wandered are deserted, and only occupied bv wild animals, the old locations of the dwellers upon the Nile have been overrun by the nomadic tribes, while thein rightful owners have either been driven away, or, like slaves, have been compelled to cultivate the land for their new masters. Robbed of all means of self-defense, driven by repression and tyranny into a state of desperation, without any hope of ever being freed from their foreign slave masters, their power and endurance have been broken; and thus the relatively small remaining remnant of these river neople are not much better off than slaves. How is it possible for them to help them.celve3 under such conditions, or for them to free themselves from thlr despotic ru!ers. It Is folly to believe that the country can a?aln of its own strength recover Its position by means of revolutionary methods. Help must come from without. THE PRESENT SITUATION. "To pass from generalities to particulars, the present ItuatIon Is about as follows; On the east. In the neighborhood of Suaklm and Tokar, the E-Mlan Influence Is on the increase slowly, but very slowly; In the southeast the Italians have conquered Kassala, and have compelled the Mahdlsts to maintain a strong line of defense upon the western shore of the Atbara river; further south, the Abysslanians do not show any disposition to change the relations in which they stand to the Dervishes; and the Inhabitants of the mountain lands of Fazogl, as well as tnose upon the banks of the Blue Nile, have shaken off tha payment of tribute to the Challf most thoroughly. Far to the south, tho Influence of England is very perceptible, in the regions where Speke. Grant Baker and others have von undying fame for th?lr successful efforts against slavery and the slave trade: these are the regions which should be united with the coast In the near future; in this way the necessary means of communication would be provided for the southerly equatorial provinces and their neighboring countries. Besides these Ensllsh possessions, we find the independent Congo State, which has united itself to a very large amount of territory, during the last few years, not only in the neighborhood of Mboma and Ubangi. but also in the region of the Bahr-el-Ghazal province, and also in Equatoria.as far as the neighborhood of Redjaf, In the Nile valley; while In the upper Ubangi region the enterprising French pioneers aro attempting to realize their colonial dreams, in which they have been so successful during the last few years. "Further toward the northwest, the authority of the Challf his been threatened by the races which are inimical to him, and which sooner or later will place themOlves under the protectorate of the Ku. 1 Wn n rut rm wHIaIi aro nr,..l . s

lies Egypt, the power which Abdullahl Is beginning to fear more and more as that which would be the first to make an attack upon the unsettled coniltion of things Jn his kingdom. In short, the offensive and defensive position of the Mahdistlc Soudan is as follows: Strong as regards Internal foes, threatened externally, however, from all sides, the supposition is warranted that sooner or later, under the onward march of civilization, the kingdom of the Cahlif will go to pieces. "But what then? Will Egypt again take possession of the land, of which she was formerly the legitimate mistress; and, if so, will the powers which have been advancing the cause of civilization during thvs patt few years consent to the restitution of these ancient rights of possession without any conditions? "The reason which Induced Mohammed All, three-quarters of a century ago. to take possession of the Soudan, is still effective; since the Nile Is the llfespring of Egypt, all efforts seem to be warranted which may be necessary to protect Its valley from external Invasion. It is therefore only natural that the progress of foreign powers toward this mighty waterway of the Nile would be watched with the greatest jealousy, since the Egyptians are clear upon one point, which Is. that colonies of foreign origin upon this river would instantly reduce Egyptian prosperity and progress to a secondary position, and therefore should be regarded as a most dangerous calamity. "I have had the opportunity In the course of my narrative, to show the great importance of the Bahr-el-Ghazal province to Egypt, and it would be appropriate at this point to summarize the peculiar relations of this province with reference to the rest of the Soudan. . "It comprises a very fertile region of enormous extent, which is watered by a labyrinth of rivers, is covered with forests, and numerous herds of elephants are to be found within Its borders. The soil is exceptionally fruitful and produces in particular great quantities cf cotton and rubber. Great herds of cattle find very abundant nourishment In the rich gras3 which covers The number of inhabitants possibly reaches 5,000,000 or 6,000.000 souls: they are by nature warlike, and they furnish the most soldierlike material of the whole region of the Soudan. "The geographical and strategic position of the province, with reference to the rest of the Soudan, makes the possession of the Bahr-el-Ghazal district an absolute necessity. A foreign power to whom Egyptian interests were of no concern, and who were to utilize the advantages of this large territory for thlr own purposes, and they are much more valuable than any other portion of the Nile valley, could obtain such a commanding position that the possessions of Egypt would be Imperiled. "Although I am fully convinced that the continued advance of the European powers will ultimately end In the fail of the kingdom of the Mahdl, I feel compelled, by my long and rather uncommon stay in the central portion of the Dervish power, to utter . a warning word concerning the land whose interests I guarded for many years, and whose future welfare and prosperity I can only see in the reconquering of the Egyptian Soudan I would call attention to the fact that time passes rapidly, and while Egypt may gaze with longing eyes upon the lost provinces, the possibility always exists of their falling into the hands of others with whom it will be more difficult to deal than with the Challf. The Soudan, in any other hands than those of Egypt, would make a plaything of her existence, whereas a wholesome government of the regained Nile provinces by Egypt herself would be of Just as great service to the mother country as to the Soudan." , PROFESSIONAL CONFIDENCES.

Effect of the Playfair Drench Upon Europe Royal Families. Marquise De Fontenoy, in Chicago Record. Nowhere has the lawsuit against the English fashionable ladies physician, Dr. Playfair, excited more disagreeable surprise and dismay than axnong the reignlru? family, not alone of England but also of Hesse, Roumanla and Coburg. For Dr. Playfair holds the position of occoucheur to quite a large number of royal households, and has brought so many children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria into the world that London Punch on one occasion suggested that he should be created a peer with the title of "Lord Deliverus." Occupying such a position of confidence and trust toward all these reigning houses as does the doctor it is naturally exceedingly disagreeable to his illustrious patients to learn from the evidence produced in the lawsuit brought against him by Mrs. Kltson that he was In the habit of communicating

to his wife and to his other female relatives such professional secrets as might be acquired by him in the course of his medical duty. There has seldrr.1 been a more disgraceful or universally condemned betrayal of confindence than that perpetrated by Dr. Playfair. The Prince of Wales, who always floats on the tide of popular sentiment, is likely to visit with dismissal the attitude of his own physician. Sir William Broadbent, in indorsing, on the witness stand the behavior of Dr. Playfair. While Dr. Playfair will certainly regret and bitterly rue the decline of his practice which is certain to result from the verdict rendered against him an injury far exceeding in pecuniary value the damage of 560.000 awarded to podr Mrs. Kltson yet he cannot but feel relieved by his dismLal from the post of physlcian-accoucheur-to the reigning family. The latter is no bod of roses. It is one of such great responsibility that the presence of a Cabinet minister at the birth Is required by statute. The least thing that gees wrong leads, of course, -to blame being thrown upon the doctor. Sir Richard Croft, the physician accoucheur of Princess Charlotte of Great Britain, the only daughter of King George IV. committed suicide because he was held accountable for the death In childbirth of tho Princess, a death that resulted in the succession of Queen Victoria to the throne of her uncle. And It is to the German accoucheurs who attended the first confinement of the now widowed Empress Frederick of Germany that Emperor William is indebted for his withered left arm. This is why, much to the disgust of German medicos. Emperor Frederick and his wife always insisted on the presence of English accoucheurs at the birth of their other children. Dr. Playfair. who received for his attendance at the last accouchement of the young Crown Princess of Roumanla a fee of $12,000, a magnificently Jeweled gold snuffbox and the insignia of the grand officer of the order of the Star of Roumanla, Is the brother of Lord Playfair and also of Sir Robert Playfair, who. as British consulgeneral at Algiers. Is known to many American visitors to the north coast of Africa. Tho family, though of humble origin, is of very lofty association, its connection with the royal family of England dating back forty years ago, when the present Lord Plafalr, who Is married to a Miss Russel, of Boston, became associated with Queen Victoria's husband In a number of the Iatter's schemes for the development of science and of art. Lord Playfair subsequently acted as instructor and to a great extent supervised the education of the Prince of Wales and of his younger brother, the now reigning Duke of Coburg. Toward the latter part of the fifties the prince consort, who had a high opinion of Professor Playfalr's learning and erudition, appointed him to the post of a gentleman usher in the royal household: His term of active service in that particular capacity was, however, limited to one day's duration. Queen Victoria has always possessed a very keen sense of the ludicrous, and even to this day, in spite of her austere and grave appearance, is apt to go of? into per feet fits of laughter on the slightest provocation. The sight of Professor Playfair, with his chubby cheeks, boyish appearance, stature of about five feet, with nlightly deflected and extremely brief extremities decked cut In silk stockings and his inquisitive little eyes blinking at her through a pair of large spectacles, proved too much for her Majesty, and she distinctly informed her husband that it would be Impossible for her to maintain befitting gravity if so funny a little object were allowed to continue to take part in state ceremonies. An excuse was therefore found for shunting the learned professor to another post In which the display of limbs and elegance of figure were not a matter of such vital Importance. That the Queen felt some remorse fcr this has been shoivn by the very marked favor whlcrh she displayed to the little man ever since. And she may be said to have nt!rtly compensated him fcr his ridicule In 1S7), when, some thirty years afterward, sh created film a peer on the nomination of his friend, Mr. Gladstone, and appointed him to the position of lord in waiting, an office which he held throughout the Liberal administration. He is pirtl?u!arly able as a financier, hiving Inherited from fcis Hootch parents the national virtue of economy pushed to such a degree that cn one oration when he hid ben elected to Parliament by Hi city of Edinburgh he declined to pay the K00J, which was the sum total of his election expenses. There was no end of scandal about it at the time, and Lord Playfair came in for much ridicule and even obloquy. He has held the office of Postmaster-general and of general chilrman of committees in the House of Commons, and is the president of an immense number of flnir.clal enterprises. besIJes being the financial member of the Prince of Wales's council. Lady Playfair is his third wife.

Tlin VOL.CXTEE11S. Its Founder Explains the Purpose of the New Vrfc. Ballington Booth, in the Independent. The Volunteers' warfaro is not in any; sense to be looked upon as a 'split or an effort to disrupt ihe forces of the old movement to which until recently we be.onged. Through a. train of circumstances we nenl net mention here we found ourselves outside the movement we had lived and toiled for during the past nine years In this countty. This position was not of our choosing, nor did it arise through any rebellion against an order to leave this country, but for other and longer standing reasons that made It impossible for us to remain leaders in tha old organization under existing circumstances. Our silence with regard to the many accusations and questions now. raised is from no inability to vindicate ourselves, but from a desire to let the matter drop, and leave in God's hands the ordering, directing and vindicating of cur Uvea in the future. The Issuing of statements and the making of explanations can only lead to controvert, and we have trongly felt that the attitude of Bllence Is the most Christlike, and will prove the most efficient in averting strife, and prove the rightness of our spirit. On accepting the orders which sent ui from our post on Fourteenth street we had no desire of starting a new movement; in fact, our one need and desire was ret. We found, however, that this would be Impossible. Our own hearts told us that there could be no rest for us out of active service for God and souls. We wero pressed on every side to become the leaders of fome new effort for the Christ kingdom, and some of our comrades, fee'.lng as we did concerning the old organization, came out from it without any influence from us, arid then offered to stand with us in any work we undertook in the future. We have not sought to call to our side any of the associates still standing and 'believing In the International organization. It has not been our policy to bring influence or suasion to bear upon them, ami those' who are now with ua have come naturally upon their own responsibility and their own personal convictions formed quite apart from us. Should we start in- cor new movement with but a handful of workers, while the old organization retains Its thousands, we shall not feci in the slightest discouraged, for our plan an& desire is. by the help of God, to make. a people of those who are not & peopls, to raise a force to fight sin and lethargy wnons those who are careless and dead, to the Influence of God and his kingdom. Our principles are identical with those w had held and taught heretofore. Our doctrine is to be the plain, straightforward, living, truth of Christ's gospel. . . A Foil-Weight Silver Dollar. Gunton's Magazine. It is rafe to say that no solution of tha silver question Is feasible in this country on the basis of -silver monometallism. If the fight is forced on monometaUlst lines, the single metal will not be silver. The only solution of the question favorable to silver 1 in the direction of bimetallism the use of silver with gold. The silver people profess to be favorable to this; and If they are, any feasible plan for dealing with the subject on a bimetallic basis should receive their hearty support. In our last issue we suggested a plan by which bimetallism could be secured with the unlimited coinage of silver by adopting a flexible ratio, thus adapting the quantity of silver in the dollar to the value, so that the silver dollar in actual circulation will always be worth as much as Ui gold dollar, either as bullion or as money. Under such conditions there could be no tendency cf sliver to drive out gold, or vice versa, and, consequently, no reason for restricting the coinage of either. Steering dear cf the shoals of ill health and the rocka of disease is easy enough if only tha digestion be kept in good order. It isn't often anv one is sick unless they have indigestion. The commonest way in which indiges tion shows itself iJ in constipation. Nine people in ten are troubled more or less in this way. Nine-tmths cf all the world's sickness ii caused by this one trouble. Sleepleo ness, pimples, blotches, headaches, sont stomach, dizziness, heart-burn," palpitation, biliousness, distress after eatingall these are merely symptoms of constipation. Why do people suffer with then when the cure is so simple and so easily obtained? Years ago, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets were placed on the market. Since then, there has been no excuse for anybody to suffer from constipation, and its attendant ills. The "Pellets" cure every case infallibly and permanently. They are very small, easy to take, gentle and quick in action. They are not at all violent ; they do not disturb the system. They cure you so you stay cured. Thousands of women will find if they take the "Pleasant Pellets" that their ills trill vanish with the constipation.
