Cl.-Scnator Lodge said to-day: "Since receiving u copy of the tehgrama which Claussenlus & Co. were sending out to affect votes on the immigration Mil and which I pave to the press, there has been sent me a copy of the circular which this same tirm has been sending out through the mail. As they stated in an interview that they were sending out their telegrams only in their Individual capacity, it will be Interesting to observe that this circular is addressed to agents, who I suppose were also to act ia their individual capacity and not as agents of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. The circular In full is as follows: "CHICAGO. Jan. Z. IS'jT. "To Agents: The immigration bill, which Is intenued to materially restrict immigration, comes up for tlnai disposition in the llou.se of Representatives. Washington. D.

In whicn the ieop!e ot the United States are profoundly interested." this wkkk i cof;iii;ss. 31ny He a Nlnlit SeMHlon to tiet u Vote on Mcnrauii C.innl. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3I.-The week in the Senate will open further discussion of the Nicaragua canal bill. It is expected that this bill will be disposed of in some manner during the first half of the week. Senator Morgan has given notice that he will ask the Senate to go on with it Monday, and it was inferred generally when he gave the notice that he would ask the Senate to sit Monday night until a vote should be secured. It is thought now that if he asks for a night session at all he will not do so until Tuesday. Whether he will succeed In securing it then will depend on the zeal of those who favor the bill. It Is admitted that a majority of the Senate favors the bill and will vote for it if it comes to a vote, but whether they nill voluntarily deprive themselves of a right's rest to injure Its passage remains ,o be seen. Senators Viles and Turpie will oppose the bill by all the means at their command, und will lilibuster to prevent Us passage. Tney will also have assistance trom otner senators. If the Nicaragua bill does not reach a vote by the middle of the week, there will be great pressure to get up other measures. The bankruptcy bill nas the advantage of having been made a special order for last Monday, and an effort will be made on this account to have it given right of way after the Nicaragua bill is disposed of. Some senators hope to supplant tnls bill with the subject of the Hawaiian cable and other wltn the Pacific Railroad Commission bill. It appears most probable, however, tnat the bankruptcy bill win be given tirst place on tho calendar, barring appropriation bills and conference reports. Senator Lodge expects to secure consideration of the conference report on the immigration bill during the week. Senator Gibson will antagonize this report, and the friends of the bill count upon the necessity of spending considerable time on it. The arbitration treaty will be reported at the lirst executive session and an early day asked for its discussion. It Is likely that it will come up for consideration during the week. The time of the House this week probably will be devoted almost entirely to the consideration of appropriation bills, of which the consular and diplomatic and the District of Columbia are on the calendar. The fortllicatlons and sundry civil also will be ready before the end of the week The District of Columbia bill contains a large number of Items of local importance to the District which will cause considerable debate, but there is little in the diplomatic bill to create conlllct. It can be, however, and usually Is productive of more or less debate on toreiKii relations. It is ossible that an effort will be made in the House, as it was In the committee, to raise the salaries of the consuls below $2,500, which were placed under the protection of the civil service by Mr. Cleveland to t2.) in order to afford the incoming administration an opportunity to displace the existing officials. Hut if the attempt is made It probably will fail as it did In the committee. It Is possible that the? rules committee may decide to give the House a chance to vote this week on the International monetary conference bill, wnloh passed the Senate last Friday. The advewates of the pooling bill also are pressing for Its consideration and the petition presented to Speaker Keed for the consideration of public building bills remains as yet unacted on. Any of thse matters which have In-en held in areyance may be brought up if time allows and the rules committee is willing. i Tlie Itlver and llnrhor Jaunt. GALVKSTON. Tex.. Jan. 31. Twelve members of the river and harbor congressional committee left Houston by train this morning. At Clinton, a few miles out from Houston, steamers were taken and the prty went down Buffalo bayou to Morgan's Point. There the party alighted and a. sumptuous dinner was served. From Morgan's Point the party came into Galveston by train. At Galveston the party took a steamer and visited the jetties. The party will leave to-morrow morning for Velasco. From Velasoo they return to Houston. The congressmen are well pleased with their trip. Iteervet fur Republican. WASHINGTON, Jan. SI. The terms of Ofiice of fourteen post-presidential postmasters scattered about the country expire during February. There are no large offlces In the list. There are over two hundred nominations of postmasters of the presidential class now pending in the Senate. Most of these are recess appointments. About three hundred of these nominations have been submitted so far during the session, and alout eighty-seven acted on. A large number of them will h left unacted on by this Congress. leaving the appointments to the next administration. Senator irorp;e Better. WASHINGTON. Jan. 51. Senator George's physicians report that he has been very comfortable to-day. His condition again gives hope' that he may recover sum ciently to leave the city for the South. o Feudalism Here. Philadelphia Inquirer. There Is it club composed of sportsmen whh h has fenced off three thousand acres of swamp land In Indiana as a game preserve. Once or twice a year a tew of its members and their friends go there to shoo, ducks. Keepers armed with guns are employed to eject all trespassers by force, but the only tntruders so far have been the tons of farmers in the neighborhood, who have invaded the sacred tract with the avowed determination of engaging in the heinous practice of hunting muskrats. The club -now announces that it proposes to have all trespassers shot down, and an instance has already occurred In which persons venturing on the low-lying lands have been tired at. There are game laws In this country looking to the preservation of birds 'uml anlnrals and the prevention of their daughter at certain times of the year. Agaln!t such laws nothing can be said, and any person who violates them can be punished in a legal way. Hut between these laws and the old-time game laws of Lngland. whtn poaching was held. to be a capital offense, and when gamekeepers wee permitted to shoot down any starving man who was pe king food for his family, there Is a ide difference. The spirit of the age does not recognize any such feudal rights, but looks upon the preservation of human life as more Important than tho preservation cf all the game on the continent. No

such arrogatlon of barbarous authority should be permittee! on the part of any individual or association.

TRAINMEN'S BROTHERHOOD. Special Meeting of the Association In IMilludelplila. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 51. A. special meeting of the Brotherhood of Ilailroad Trainmen was held in tnis city to-day at which over seven hundred delegates from the States of New York. Ohio. Pennsylvania. Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia were present. Grand Master 1. H. Morrlssey and Deputy Grand Master Fitzpatrick. both of Peoria, III., were also In attendance. The session was behind closed doors and at its close it was announced that only matters affecting the organization were discussed, together with some action on what is known as the "car-coupler law." and some matters of legislation before Congress. A general grievance committee and board of adjustment were apointed for the Pennsylvania Ilailroad east of Pittsburg, their duties being to consider the adjustment of differences. If any, between the men and the company. Resolutions of condolence were also passed on the death of President George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Ilailroad. The chief topic of discussion was the carcoupler law, which passed Congress at its last session, and is to go into effect this year. The Erdman arbitration bill was also Indorsed as the fairest measure yet presented to settle all controversies between capital and labor. Other resolutions were adopted asking that restrictions be placed on federal judges in contempt cases that will permit of a trial by Jury and an appeal to the Supreme Court. NEW YORK'S BAL i.iflSQUE PKHItV IlELMOXT MAY XOT ATTEM1 II It A D LK Y-.M AIIT1 X A V FA lit. The Henon In Said to He 111m Political Ambition I'rotent from the Musical Union. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. It was reported yesterday that former Congressman Perry Belmont would not attend the BradleyMartin ball, although he has received an invitation. According to the story In circulation. Mr. Belmont has determined to remain away from this fashionable function on the ground that a big display of wealth at this time is not desirable from a political point of view. Mr. Belmont was asked last night if it was true that he had declined an invitation from Mrs. Martin. "That is a private matter," he replied. "Will you deny or confirm the report that is current?" "I will not talk about It at all. It Is a private matter, and I will not say anything more about it." The relations that exist between the Martins and Mr. Belmont are said to be of the friendliest sort. The latter is quite active in political as well as social life, and was considered as the probable Democratic nominee for Governor last summer before the holding of the Democratic national convention. Mr. Bradley-Martin made emphatic denial this morning that his wife had received threatening or anarchistic letters referring to their costume ball at the Waldorft on Feb. 10. "There is not one word of truth in the rumor that Mrs. Martin has been annoyed by anonymous communications," he said this morning. "I cannot understand how such rumors get alloat unless they are prompted y sensation lovers. I also wish to deny in toto that I am preparing or even contemplating preparing a statement, table or article for publication concerning the expenses of our costume ball. I have refrained from being drawn into any controversies over the ball, and I surely will not seek one by publishing a voluntary statement. The expenses of this ball are private matters. That is all there is to be said about it." Mrs. Martin has been besieged of late with inquiries as to her own costume for the ball. Yesterday the word came directly from Mr. Bradley Martin that she had not yet decided upon it. Probably she has engaged the costumer's time so that there will be no delay when she does make her choice. Mrs. Martin has a good collection of plates, and this makes It more bewildering to select. Whether Mr. Martin will adhere to his first choice of the costume of Louis XVI Is still an open question. There will be at least four Kin Louis XVIs in the field, and the host may possibly decide that a hfth would be superfluous. It has been stated by some persons that Mr, and Mrs. Martin would appear at the ball In the same magnificent costumes in which "they made a striking impression at the ball given by the Earl and Countess of Warwick in London." The great trouble with this speculative view of the costumes of the host and hostess lies In the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Martin did not attend any such ball as that described. There was a hue and cry yesterday about silk stockings. The 1.30) or more ball guests are all after silk hosiery of some special and Impossible shade to match their costumes. There has not been such a corner on silk stockings for years. Mrs. Ogden Mills has the charge of the incroyable quadrille. Presumably all of the dancers who have selected this picture'sque costume will be part and parcel of it. The list Includes Miss Edith Sands, who will le all-in white with gold; J. D. It. Lanier. F. Delano Weeks. Miss Wetmore, In green and straw color, ami SchiefTeiin Stebblns. Couples will not necessarily be mated in their attire. While Mrs. Victor Sorchant will become Catherine tie Medici, Victor Corehan will be Duke De Poyeuse. Miss Edith Wetmore has selected the costume of Duchess de Poyeuse. Her costume will be magnificent, and of white satin embroidered with gold. The duke will be in blue satin, with knee breeches, short cape, loner swprd and big ruff. What the bachelors are to wear Is a point of deep interest. LIspenard Stewart, for example, will be a cavalier of the time of I,ouis XII. If. H. Harjes will be Henry III. He will wear pink silk stockings, blue knee breeches, slashed with lemon color, blue cape, lined with pink satin, a big ruff, and a long sword. George Blagden will figure in a black velvet and silver e'Oionlal costume and powdered wig. Edward de Peyster Llvlnjston has successfully resurrected costumes from the family tree a few branches above him. James W. Gerard, jr.. loves the military. He will be a d.jfhlng medieval warrior. The Messrs. J. v. Barney and H. H. Barney will wear striking costumes of the reign of Francis I. The material is rich satin an el the capes are of dark velvet. The peaked caps have long white plumes. Richard Peters has not determined as to Ihe exact degree of splendor of his ball apparel. There is little doubt, though, that he will settle on the magnificent costume of Duke tie Poyeuse. This is ef the sluuleknown as empire green. Charles It. Alexander will be an Oxford student of the days of Louis XVI. William H. Duer has selected a costume ef the day of Ixuis XVI. a combination of black, blue and gray. Julian Story has chosen a Ixuis XIII costume. Thomas F. Cushing will be gorgeously costumed in white satin, sliver and pearls as Charles IX. Mrs. Whitney Warren's costume of the Louis XV epoch will be very splendid. The ground work is to be of cherry velvet and silk. The Musical Mutual Protective Union Is kicking. Its members think they should have been engaged instead of the Marine Band, of Washington, to furnish the music for the ball to be given by Mr. and Mrs. Bradley-Martin. Home talent tdiotild have been patronized, they say. Alexander Bremer, president of the Musical Mutual Protective Union, last night said: "Organized labor generally dot s not side with the Rev. Dr. Ralnsford In his views regarding the coming ball. We were all glad to hear that at least a quarter of a million dollars is to be expended, the greater part of which will go Into the pockets of working people. But we tlo feel a little sore at Mrs. Bradley-Martin for engaging the Marine Band, the members of which are paid salaries. Our organization here has the finest musicians in the country."

TWO MASKED ROBBERS

TERRORIZE AX OLD LADY, III T FAIL TO GET JfMMI IX CASH. Clone C'nll for Kx-Miiml.nl Hyde, of MdinliurK Snlamonlo Will Soon De Drrtlged. Slelal to the Indianapolis Journal. EDIXBURG, Intl.. Jan. SI. Last night about 1) o'clock two masked men entered the residence of Dennis Hyde, ex-marshal of Kdinburg. for the purpose of getting $v) in cash which Mr. Hyde was known to have in the house. Mr. Hyde was down In town at the time and Mrs. Hyde was attending church about two bloeks away, and there was no one at home except Grandma Havren and some small children. The two masked men knocked at tho door, when Mrs. Havren asked who was there. TI.e reply was "your delivery man." The door va opened and two masked men entered the house with drawn revolvers and demanded that the old lady keep tpalet, and one of them went direct to tho bureau drawer where the money was kept, and, as the drawer was locked, commenced to jerk on the drawer to get it open. In the meantime a ten-year-old son of Mr. Hyde, who was sick in bed in another room, jumped out in his night clothes and ran out at a back door and to the church for his mother, yelling as he went. This so frightened the robbers that they immediately left the house without the money. Mr. Hyde has always been a little fearful of banks, and kept his money at home. The robbers seemed to know that. Mrs. Havren thinks she would know the robbers if she should see them again, and will be given a chance to look at several suspects around town.- Two familiar young fellows were taken before her last night and then released. to imuixii: tiii: salamome. The Proportion. Aided ly JutlKe Heller'M Decision Lust Week. S?Iecial to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Jan. 31. Quite a mistaken idea concerning the status of the project to elredge the Salamonie river seems to exist and llnd expression in the press of this vicinity. A few days ago Judge Heller, of the Jay Circuit Court, overruled a demurrer against the petition for the dredging. This was immediately taken up and heralded far and wide as a knock-out blow to the project. On the contrary, it was almost a knock-out to those opposing the drainage. By overruling the demurrer the judge leaves the petition juat where it was in the first place, and a hearing will be given at the March term. Those favoring the project are going to push it as fast as possible and up to date have not only held their own, but have added some tine legal points to the strength of their case. The work will be very costly and, although it has been claimed by the projectors that the scheme can be crrled out for less than ilOO.wo, the probabilities are that tho cost will be at least three or four times that amount. Several miles of continuous blasting through solid rock will be necessary and the dredginK operations will cover more than tweniy-rive miles of river and tributaries. If the work is carried through it will ultimately mean the financial ruin of a number of farmers in this and Jay county. At the present price of farm products the value of the land itself has so deteriorated that the drainage assessments, it is claimed, would amount to more than the value of the farms In some instances. .ev Church nt Cnrternbnrff. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PLA1NFIELD, lnd., Jan. 21. This has been a proud day for the Methodist people of the. little village of Cartersburg, three miles west of this place. It witnessed the dedication of a new house of worship, costing some $?.000. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by Rev. David H. Moore, editor of the Western Christian Advocate. Cincinnati, in the forenoon. The new structure was crowded and at 3:31 p. m. the Junior League held services at which addresses were made by Rev. E. S. Shumaker. of Plainficlil. and others. The evening services consisted of a sermon by Rev. J. H. HolIlngsworth. of Greencastle. preceded by a short Ep worth League service led by Emma Prewitt. The building committee and trustees of the church have had the support of all denominations in the way of cash subscriptions. The new building is a credit to the town and Hendricks county. TurklMh Until for Prisoner. Slecial to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Jan. 31. There was a panic in the Wabash county jail lasi night when Etta Jones, a prisoner from North Manchester, went to the bathtub to get a drink. She turned the water on full and accidentally dropped the key into the tub. Being unable to tind it, the water ran unchecked, and the frightened girl ran half way up the stairway and sat weeping while the tub overflowed and covered the cellroom lloor to a depth of eight inches, literally drowning out the prisoners. To make matters worse the water rose about the heated gas stoves and the steam thus generated tilled the hot cellroom. and had not the lusty calls for help of the prisoners attracted the attention of the marshal the Inmates would have been suffocated In an Involuntary Turkish bath. They were more dead than alive when rescued. Tlie Mt'Kee l'lnnt Blacklisted. Special to the IndlanaioIls Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Intl., Jan 31. Word has been received here by local glass workers that S. McKee & Co.'s plant has been blacklisted and three of Its pots are now iviie. The disagreement arose over the collection of 13 per cent, of the credit certificates of some members who really did need the certificates at the time. The president has emlered all members of the Glass Workers' Association to stay away from the McKee plant on pain of being expelled from the association, as the manufacturers have violated thir contract with the association, and It will be fought to a finish. Hartford City glass workers believe President Burns did the proper thing m blacklisting the concern and it meets with their hearty approval. Miami Challenge Earlhnni.

The double funeral of Misses Katie and Dottle Miller, the schoolgirls killed at Eastwood by a Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern train Friday, was held to-day.

He was a resident of llartfonl City until a few weeks ago and is well known to the glass workers throughout Indiana. The Howard County Farmers' Institute was held at Kokomo last week. The lecturers were T. B. Terry, of Hudson. O. : D. B. Johnson, of Morgan county, and Professor Arville Bitting, of Purdue University. The lectures were of h'h order' of merit and greatly appreciated. O. A. Somen? was re-elected president and John Ingels secretary. The institute passed strong resolutions opposing the promised additional courts now being asked tor by legislators from several counties. I'rlvute Secretary 1'osnlp. Washington Special. The story Is alloat about the Capitol today that the President-elect has secured the consent of ex-Congressman Bellamy Storer. of Ohio, to act as his secretary. The rejort is received with Incredulity and smiles, but it U strongly vouched for never-

theless. Mr. Storer is a rich man, and during his career in Washington was a swell entertainer and a man of high social ambition. To associate, him with the office of the President's private secretary is to concede a distinct "come down" for Mr. Storer, as the office is now rated, but the whole theory of his appointment Is based upon the report that Mr. MeKinley is anxious to give the place cf secretary a very much higher standing than has heretofore attached to the position. The appropriation bills which are going through Congress this year strike out the word "private" in tho clause appropriating money to pay the President's secretary, and it is said that the President-elect intends to make his secretary a sort of assistant or associate President, and to install a man in the place who can represent him In a dignified way a man who has station and standing and who can meet visitors, however high their station may be. on terms of equality and good-fellowship that can only come from previously recognized high position. The story has in it the elements of "good news matter, but it is pronounced by those who profess to be authority as a fantastic creation and as highly Improbable. I give it for what it is worth. A CALL TO POPULISTS

NATIONAL SECRETARY PROPOSES A CONFERENCE HI IS MONTH. Stinging Rebuke to National Committeeman "Washburn on the UuesHon of Free Silver. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 31. National Populist Secretary J. A. Edgerton, of Lincoln, Neb., has written a call for a national conference of Populists at Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 23, lv37, and forwarded it to Chairman Marion Butler, urging him to issue the same. About two weeks ago George F. Washburn, of Boston, member of( the People's party national committee, issued an appeal to the Populists of the United States, which was generally published all over the country. This appeal practically advised Populists to abandon the silver issue and take up the question of government issue of paper money and government ownership of railroads. Secretary Edgtrton soon after received tho following letter from Mr. Washburn: "My Dear Mr. Edgerton Inclosed I send you copy of my appeal, which I issued last week. The Boston Herald has requested me to secure u symposium of letters from the leaders of our party, giving their views on the proposed change to Independent party action, as well as changing the ligntlng issue to scientific money and government ownership of railroads, i would be pleased, therefore, if you would mail me a brief comment Indicating your attituele In this matter, which 1 trust meets with your concurrence. Fraternally yours, "G. F. WASHBURN." In his reply, which Is dated Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30. Secretary Edgerton says to Mr. Washburn: "My Dear Sir The People's party has always contended for scientific money. It has always contended for the 'government ownership of railroads.' No change of the lighting issue is necessary to bring these questions to the front, so far as Populists are concerned. It has always contended, also, for the free coinage of silver. It should not abandon this issue simply because another party has taken It up, but should rather support it the more zealously. We should welcome the assistance and should vie with the newcomerB as to who shall give the free-coinage issue tho most united and effective support. "The People's party was the first to raise the free-silver standard. Must it abandon that standard simple because another party has come to its support? No. Right does not cease to be right because it gains newadherents. And to say that we will not advocate a right principle because another party promises to share the credit for carrying it to success seems to be playing the boy. That is too narrow and selfish a course for the People's party. There can be no change of the fighting issue until the cause Is won. The lines of the fight are already drawn. No question is ever settled until it is settled right. McKlnley's election was secured by bribery, misrepresentation and outright fraud. It was not the deliberate verdict of the American peo ple. That tight must be made over again, and next time It will be won. "I believe that more and more the reform sentiment of the country Is turning to the Populist platform in its entirety. Its manly and unselfish attitude in the last campaign has inspired confidence. I agree with you that the fight should be pushed, but not that the Issue should be changed: and. in place of abandoning one plank and taking up the two which you propose. I would carry on the work of education for: First, the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1; second, supplemental issue of paper money direct by the government, and. thirdly, government ownership of railroads and telegraph. Very truly yours. "J. A. EDGERTON." FORECAST FOR TO-DAY. Temperature 3Ia Illfie KnoiiKh to Injure the lee Crop.

KING'S DAUGHTER ELOPES

ui:lgia phixccss has t;oi: off WITH AX AISIHIAX OFFICER. She Is u Married Woman, (lie Wife of Prince Philip of Snxe-ColurK 3lore Clirlntinn Murtlorctl. LONDON, Feb. 1. A dispatch to the Dally News from Brussels says that despite repeated denials, there is reason to believe that the report that the King's eldest tlaughter, tho wife of Trlnce Philip of Saxe-Coburg, has eloped with an Austrian officer is true. A dispatch to the Daily News from Athens, dated Sunday, says that serious news has been received from Heraklion. It is stated that ten Christians were murderenl Thursday while outside the gates of the city, and that armed bands of .Mussulmans leave the town dally for the Purpose of plundering and burning the villages of the Christians. The dispatch adds that these outrages are evidently in accordance with hints received from Constantinople. The situation is so serious that the foreign consuls have wired the governor general of Canca, calling for the adoption immtHliately of stringent measures looking to the protection of the people, roreign war ships are now arriving at Heraklion with a view of ottering protection to the Christians there. The Christians in the districts in the vi cinity of Heraklion are arming and occu pying strategic places for the purpose of preventing an inilux of Mohammeuans to the town. A serious collision Is feared in the near future. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from St. Petersburg says that the Czar's recent aplointment of two new body physicians, one of whom is Dr. Pavlov, the well-known physician, has been made in view of the inevitable operation nece-ssary for the removal of the exostosis or unnatural protuberance of the bone frorrt the head ot his Majesty, the result of injuries received at the hands of a Japanese fanatic while on his tour around the world. Tnis dispatch to the Dally Mall was sent by an indirect route from St. Petersburg for the purpose of avoiding censorship.

THE I XII I AX FAMIXE. It Worst Kffeets Will Xot 'Appear for Two Mon tint Yet. (Copyright. 1S37, by the Associated Tress.) NAGPOHE, Jan. 31. The social corre spondent who is now visiting this city finds the town, which is the seat of many gov ernment offices and the center of impor tant manufactures of cotton, silk, woolens and cutlery, having a population normally of over 100,009, has been Invaded by an ex tensive migration from the outlying Glstrlcts, where scarcity of winter rains was the rule. Government activity. In connec tion with the irrigation work and other public enterprises, and thorough precautions taken for the relief of the unfortunate havo averted an acute crisis. Half crops only were secured throughout this section of the country this season, but the fodder supply is good, and it is hoped the worst effects of the famine will be staved off for two months longer at least. Your correspondent has visited the local poorhouse, accommodating about 1.000 persons. A piteous spectacle was here presented by the almost naked dregs of humanity, nearly all too ill or diseased to work, but all fed and healthily housed at a cost of 1.600 rupees each month, this fund being raised by native charity. This poorhouse Is a fair specimen of poorhouses in other sections of India, and shows howsmall a sum Is necessary to save these unfortunates from actual death by starvation. Taken as a whole, it may be stated that the Nagpore district is not in as bad a plight as the northern districts already visited by your correspondent. SHI (iKOHUi: THKYKLYAX 1IKSIGXS. Made a Xame While Irish Chief Seere'tary Under Gladstone. LONDON, Jan.. 31. The Rt. Hon. Sir G. O. Trevclyan (Radical), secretary for Scotland in the cabinet eif Lord Rosebery, has resigneel his seat in Parliament on account of ill health. Sir George Trevelyan took a high degree at Trinity College. Cambridge, was called to the bar (Inner Temple) and represented Tynemouth from 1SG5 to 1SGS. He has been successively a lord of the admiralty, secretary to the admiralty, chief secretary for Ireland, chancellor of the duchy (with a seat in the Cabinet) and secretary of state for Scotland. As Irish chief secretary under Mr. Gladstone he showed distinct traces of merit. It was to him more than any other man that the abolition of purchase in the army and the enfranchisement of the agricultural laborer were due. He was born in 1S38 and in his public life has been distinguished for his attacks on the House of Iords and the established churches. Sir George Trevelyan Is said to be a line scholar, though his brilliancy rareiy comes out in his public speches. He has written a biography of his uncle. Lord Macaulay. the life of the early days of Charles James Fox and a great deal of dramatic and satirical verse, of which "The Indies in Parliament," Horace at Athens" and "The Dhawk Bungalow" are perhaps the best known. tiik iil,aciv slai e;u ti;ki:u. Murdered the English Because They Interrupted Human Sneriflees. LONDON, Jan. SI. A dispatch from Brass, West Africa, says it has been learned tltere that the origin of the recent massacre by the King of Benin of the British expedition under Consul General J. R. Phillips is found in the fact that the King was performing a ceremony involving tho annual butchery of slaves, and that h did not want any white man present at the time. On this account Consul General Phillips and the officers accompanying him were slaughtered without mercy. This annual killing of tho slaves is a custom which has prevailed for many years in Benin City. The King of Benin calls it "making his father." On account of this custom and other murderous habits of the natives Benin City has been called the "City of Blood." Kruger Holies Investigation. LONDON, Feb. l.-A dispatch to the Telegraph from Petorla says that after the interview between J. B.

In Parliament last Friday, when the discussion of thej (iiicstion of the appointment of a commission to inquire Into the troubles in South Africa was renewed. After reading Mr. Chamberlain's speech carefully President Kruger rose. and. with a show of great indignation, giving his hearers the impression of a lion at bay. exclaimed: "Let them come, if they want to take my country!"

International Interests May Interfere with Xntlonnl I'nlty. K. L. Godkin, In the Atlantic. This brings me to what Is probably, the greatest danger of modern democracy, and what will probably ruin It. If. like all previous regimes. It should lose its hold on lopular affection and fall into decay. The spread of democracy has been accompanied by a great Increase in the complexity of human affairs. That is. the interdependence of nations, through the growth of trade-, the Increase of literature, the Incessant conversation with each either kept up by the press. Cie greatly Improved facilities of travel. I as grown to a degree undreamt of even a century ago. A debate In a legislative body, the careless speech or message of a chief magistrate, a slight change in tho system of vaxation of even one nation, a small discovery by a man of science In any one country. In our tlm produces an almost Instantaneous effe;t throuchout the whole world. And all puvate business partakes of this public complexity. The size of all undertakings, either of production or exchange or transportation, la tasking the human faculty of ud-

ministration to the uttermost, and leads a great many people to suppose that individuals arc no longer equal to the task, and that It must be hereof toi assumed by tho state. For success In any business now r.n amount of knowledge i "necessary which in the last century hardly one man In a million possessed, for decisions must now le made on the moment, for which a hundred years ago a merchant might take half a year. The result Is that the government of such a world needs an Increase in Intellectual equipment corresponding to the lacrease lii business. In every tlfid of human activity ti ls has drawn heavily on the supply of administrative talent. Whether we wish to cnninand a great army or a great fleet, or tr conduct a great business, ovrrv state has to search Its entire population to get a man lit for the work. In some things In which capacity Is not easy to test, such as war. most countries remain, pending the outbreak of hostilities, in great uncertainty as to the capacity of their military men, either by sea or land. Now the first vlslblo effect er concomitant of the influence of democracy on modern governments was the multiplication of public offices. Much of this multiplication Is made necessary by the growth of population and business. The world. throiiTh the Increase in Its offices and Its activity, needs far more regulation than It used to need. Government has grown more iwerful and more active, and the more iowerful and active it is. the more functionaries it must have.

L. G. GAGE HAS IDEAS C03IIXG SECR12TARY IllSCt SSES I XITED STATES CI lUlEXCY. Holdn tlint'tlie Trennry Xote In n Standing; Evidence of n Fool I nli Operation. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. A special to the World from Chicago says: The World submitted In writing to Mr. Lyman J. Gage a number of questions concerning the most vital issues with which he will deal as secretary of the treasury. Mr. Gage, with great candor and courtesy, makes his position tpilte clear on all of them as follows: "Our whole monetary system is the resultant cf makshlft legislation and scientific compromises. It is time that reform began. In my own opinion the greenbacks should be permanently retired. The silver purchased under the Sherman act should be graudally sold. and the treasury notes redeemed and canceled. Some well-guarded system of bank-note cir culation, broader and more elastic than the present national-bank act provides, should be Inaugurated. Such bank notes should be redeemable at a central place and bo redeemable in gold only. "Silver certificates, which form nearly one-Iifth of the circulating medium of the United States, are dangerous. By their use a volume of inferior money has found an abnormal use. They are the most perplexing features in the much involved problem of our national finances. "There is no reason why the government should act as warehouseman for either gold or silver. Such a function is outside its proper limit of action. "But we are faced by a condition. The enormous amount of $500,000,000 of silver, represented by $3:XOO0.OO0 In silver certificates, added to the $iro.uoo.0u0 purchased by the government unde-r the Sherman act, constitutes a standing menace to every business interest. "To sum up. the defects of our present currency system are: Confusing heterogeneity which needs simplification. "Second The greenback controverts the prinicple of paper money, viz.: That every note injected Into the commercial system should represent an existing commercial value. "Third The treasury note Is a standing evidence of a foolish operation the creation cf a debt for the purchase or. a falling market of a commodity for w hich the purchaser has no use; it lies open to the just charge of being bath idiotic and Immoral. "Fourth The national bank note nearly conforms to the true principle of paper money, but the unreasonable requirements for security paralyze its efficiency and operate to destroy Its elasticity. "Fifth The silver certificate encourages the use of sliver to a larger extent than is consistent with the safe preservation or that metal on a parity with gold." "Would a national commission help to promote reform?" "There is reason to hope that it would be of great service in that direction." Ilaths In the Xcvr City Uulldlng". To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Tho establishment of public baths, as proposed by the Society of Hygiene, seems quite feasible, Inasmuch as the idea Is that they be a part of the new police and dispensary building. This will admit of the oversight of the police officers and dispensary physicians, thus precluding dlsorderllness and danger from contagion. Indeed, the proposed rain bath practically eliminates contagion, since there are no tubs nor other lodgements for disease. As many as lifty boys can. In procession, enter the long, narrow passageway, from whose walls the water issues like sidewise rain, enveloping the whole person. Upon entering the water is rather warm, but it gradually becomes cooler as the bather proceeds on his way. Each bather provides his own soap and towel, so no expense nor contagion can arise from that source. A charge of a nickel or a dime would doubtless cover all expense of attendance, and thus the city would incur only the expense of the plant. This, Incorporated with the new buildings, would be small, and very small when compared with the excellent physical and moral results. L. Indianapolis, Jan. U0. Missionary Society's Charity. Philadelphia Telegraph. It is difficult to understand the motives which actuates! the delegates to the conference of the secretaries of the foreign missions held In New York yesterday, in voting down a resolution to give assistance to the sufferers in India. It seems Incredible that they should have done so and determined instead to send resolutions of pity to Bombay. Can it be that they are of the opinion that charity begins at home, and that it is England's province alone to aid these sufferers In their agony? This again seems incredible: it is the province of all mankind to do what It can for the natives of India in. their pitiable plight; they are cursed with a pitiless plague that sweeps them in thousands from the earth, and if any are spared it is only to fall victims to the slower death from starvation, caused by the famine. The problem of alleviating their horrible sufferings presents the gravest of considerations, and for that very reason should call forth the best concerted, efforts of all civilization and humanity.

SOPHIE IS A COUNTESS RECORD SHOWS n 11 R X STO R FF MAIN HICD TIIK XAVUIITY IIAKIIIOX. Mutilated MurrlaRC Report In the Almanac-It de Gothti that Can not Re Dlanuted. NEW YORK, Jan. 01. Count William Bernstorff. of the German nobility, who eloped from Berlin to Ixndon with Sophie Barrison, of "Mster" fame, appears now to have married the woman. The latest Issua of the Almanach de Gotha, wnich contains a complete registry of the Euro;ean nobility, was received yesterday, bearing date of Jan. 1, 1S97. In that portion devoted to tho Bernstorff family tree Is recorded this second marriage of Count William: "Second marriage on Jan. IS. 1K&, In London, to Sophie , nee (Kyrltr.)" The elopement of the count a couple of years ago with Sophie Harrison created tremendous hcn&atlon in royal and theatrl cal circles, but the friends of the noblema:i always maintained that he elid not marry the woman. They characterized the affair as an ordinary one, of the kind common among certain classes of the nobility, and insisted that Sophie and the count did not we'd, and that they toon separated after the usual fashion. But the evidence offered by the Almanach tie Gotha is almost Indisputable, and this U the first instance v. herein the name of the woman married to any member of a royal family was ever omltte-d from the registry. No reason Is given for this, but Count Bernstorff or some of his family have put a. slight upon his bride. "Sophie " may or may not be Sophie Barrlson, and the "nee " is e-qually mystifying to reade-is of the Almanach de Gotha. Kyritz is tho ancestral home of the count, and Its connection with the mysterious Sophie Is puzzling. Nine pages of the Almanach in line type are devoted to the record of the Ik-rnstoiir: family, and in no other Instance does a. dash stand for the name of a. lady weeieie-u to a noble scion of the house of Bernstorff, whose births, deaths and marriages are faithfully recorded from the year lHi.

Ills father, who was German e-mnassador to London, died in that city in 1S7X Tne count Is a Knight of the German Cross and was a iirst lieutenant In the Royal l'russlau army. He was compelled to rt-sigti his commission because of the escapade with Sophie Harrison. The Iirst marriage of the count occurred in Berlin on Feb. 179, w hen he wed ld the Baroness Augusta of Gutscnmsd. They were divorced in July. 1SM. On account of some trouble growing out u. duel, the count was forced to emigrate to America. He invested his capital in a Florida orange plantation. The venture provod a failure, and the countess, much dlsusteet. retunud to Europe. From orange growing tlfe count drifted Into the champagne b.ifcimss as drummer for a wine houe.
