BRITAIN’S INDIAN TROUBLES TIKIiEY AND RUSSIA ASSISTING IN INCITING THE NATIVES. Nankeen Threatened hy the London Spectator—Rumor that the Prince of Naples Will Fight Henri D'Orleann. LONDON, Aug. 14.—Gunboats are now building in England for transportation in sections to Abu Hamid, whence there is open water to Khartoum. These gunboats are powerful. They draw two feet of water, steam fourteen knots an hour and are armed with fifteen-pounders and Maxim rapid-tire guns. It is announced that the whole flotilla will be ready to move south from ,Abu Hamid early in 1898. It is positive, however, that Berber, the next important point on the Nile, may be seized before long without waiting for the naval reinforcement- After the Anglo-Egyptian forces are gathered at Abu Hamid, Berber, Suakim and probably Kassala, the final advance on Khartoum will occur. Serious fighting Is expected b'efore the Mahdists are routed, hence the necessity for British troops to supplement the Egyptians, it Is reported that the Khalifa has 250,0)9 soldiers under his command. But, in all probability, this is an ‘exaggerated report. A dispatch from Suakim says that the Khalifa tuts summoned Osman Digna, the famous lighting general of the Dervish forces, to Omdurmun, the camp near Khartoum, where the Khalifa is preparing to make a final and desperate stand against th’e advance of the Anglo-Egyptian forces up the Nile. * * * The Turkish newspapers, evidently inspired from the palace, are printing lurid pictures of the disaffection in India, said to be caused by British outrages, and, in short, there is a regular propaganda on the part of Turkey to create troubles lor Great Britain in Mohammedan circles, as an offset to London's abetting the Arnv - nian agitation. The officials of the India office admit that Afghan officials have bt'.-n concerned in the recent risings In India, and the strong reinfore'ements of British troops which are now being pushed to the front show that the authorities are fully alive to the dangers existing. It is strongly hinted that the long-threatened Russian intrigue has materialized, but circumstances hardly warrant this assumption. • • • The postofflee officials here are deeply interested in the experiments in telegraphy made by Professor Crehore, of Dartmouth College, and Eieutenant Squier, of the military school at Fortress Monroe, who claim that their device enables messages to be transmitted with extraordinary rapidity. The inventors said to a representative of the Associated Press: “The experiments over short circuits in the United States have been entirely satisfactory, but we were unable to secure facilities for long-distance operations and so we came to England and asked the help ol the, government. Superintendent Preece, of the telegraph lines, promptly placed the government plant at our disposal and directed his subordinates to give us every aid in the trials over the London and Birmingham line.” It is understood that the tests made have been entirely satisfactory. The inventors, however, are reticent, pending full demonstration of the practicability oi their scheme. They serin to fear possible rivalry. It is claimed that their device will transmit enough matter in an hour over a single wire to till a page of a newspaper. An official of the British postoflice said: "There is no doubt the Americans have a most valuable idea which may result in greatly cheapening telegraphing. We are not yet quite satisfied of its practicability, but the experiments of next week will settle the uncertain points. I am surprised that more assistance is not given to inventors in the United States. England seems more friendly to American inventors than their own home.” The inventors art* thinking of going to France and Germany to show their scheme to the telegraph officials of the governments of those countries. * * * Consul General Osborne says that the invoices of exports filed in his office since the new United States tariff became law have decreased 50 per cent. Only in the case of diamonds and other jewels has there been an increase. A large business has developed in jewelry which heretofore has mostly been smuggled into the United States via Canada. Air. Osborne thinks the dealers concluded that it is more profitable to pay the lower Dingley rates than to, incur the costs and risks of smuggling. The consul general hears that a leading tin-plate manufacturer is going to transfer his business to the United States on acccunt of the tariff and that some woolen manufacturers are going to do the same and for the same cause. * * * The Spectator, discussing the "Provocative and unfriendly tone of American politicians of both parties towards England,” says: “We are obliged to write as we never dreamed of being forced to write about a country only less dear to us than our own. But we should fail in our public duty if we did not point out in the strongest manner the grave risks which are likely to ensue from this attitude. Unless the l nited States assumes a very different tone the gravest crisis is certain to ensue. Public opinion in England has greatly changed during the last few months, and even if Lord Salisbury is anxious to politely ignore such indiscretions as Secretary Sherman's the people would not permit it. and hereafter American demands, if urged in unfriendly language, will by resisted unanimously by the nation, no matter what the risks may be. If America does not keep a better watch over her politicians they will hurry her into a conflict with this country, whereof no one is able to see the end.” * * * The dispute in the engineering trades Is extending in area, and a week hence seventy thousand men will be involved. The Sheffield employers have joined issue with the Employers' Association, and the content has become one of endurance. Each side is trying to starve out the other. The firms which have conceded the eight-hour day work are small concerns, while the firms engaged in international business will not sign such an agreement.

who have been thrown out of work, but the incoming contributions are the smallest yet received. * • Wine experts say that the vintage of 1897 will not rank high. The best reports have been received from Mayence, whore it is stated that a heavy crop is assured. In the important wine districts of Germany a high quality of grape is expected. The French vintage is much smaller than that of IS9G. though it is of fair quality. The port and sherry districts are lacking in both quantity and quality. • * * Emperor William of Germany has promised to offer another cup for a yacht race from Dover. England, to the Island of Heligoland in 1898. * * * The disaffection in the ranks of the Conservatives must be widespread, judging from the amount of correspondence on the subject in the newspapers and from the murmurs of rebellion heard at the clubs and in the different political centers. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, is the standing grievance among the Conservatives. The old Tories say he is driving the party into an abyss of socialism. However, there is no fear that the grumblers will take any radical steps, for if they transform their words into acts the result would be a defeat for them, which would probably make Mr. Chamberlain supreme when the next crisis arrives. * * * The members of the British Cobden Club have caused a special gold medal to lie struek for presentation to the Canadian premier, Kir Wilfred Courier, in formal recognition of his attachment to free trade. THE COMING DUEL. Rumor that tlie Prince of Naples Will Figlit Prinee Henri. PARIS, Aug. 14.—Tlie seconds of Prince Henri of Grleans and the Count of Turin, Court De Tenotif and Count Morriohon and General Count rii Quinto and Marquis Carlo di Ginori had another conference this morning relative to time and place for the duel which is to be fought between the prince and the count. The conditions of the duel are said to be severe. It is reported the fight will take place on Monday next, outside of France, and that swords will be the weapons used. CONDON, Aug. 14.—A special dispatch from Paris late to-night says a sensational rumor Is being circulated there that Prince Henri of Orleans will fight his duel with the Prince of Naples, the Count of Turin having waived his claims in favor of the heir to the Italian throne. The Soir asserts that the Count of Turin, who arrived in Paris incognito, was informed bythe Italian embassador to France that King Humbert would prohibit him from lighting Prince Henri. Another Balloon Sighted, ST. AVANGER, Norway, Aug. 14.—The steamer Konhalfdan, which has just arrived here, reports that at 4:50 o’clock this morning she sighted, between Haugesund and Ryvarden, a large balloon going east southeast at an altitude of 1.500 feet. A guide rope about 400 feet long depended from the ear. It. is thought probable that this was the banoon of Cetti. the aeronaut •who ascended yesterday at Urendal, with a southeasterly wind blowing. >CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 14.—1 tis now known that the balloon sighted by the steamer was not that of the areonaut Cette, as he descended safely yesterday. The Khalifa Preparing fora Straggle. SUAKIM. Aug. 14.—The Khalifa has summoned Osman Digna, the famous fighting general of the Dervish forces, to Omdurinan. the camp near Khartoum, where the Khalifa is preparing to make a final and desperate stand against the advance of the Anglo-Egyptian forces up the Nile.

GRAND ARMY TICKETS. Rigid Rules tor the Execution and Handling of Return Portions. CHICAGO, Aug. 14. The lines of the Western Passenger Association have adopted rigid rules for the execution and handling of the return-passage portions of the tickets to the G. A. R. encampment at Buffalo. Chairman Caldwell has issued a circular to all interested lines notifying them that all tickets sold from the territory of the Western Passenger Association must be executed by the joint agent in Buffalo before they will be good in the territory of the Western Passenger Association for the return trip. All of the roads are asked to notify all purchasers that tickets must be executed for the return passage in Buffalo, and nowhere else. He also calls attention to the fact that this arrangement applies to tickets returning from Buffalo within the open return limit set for the tickets, and that it will apply in the territory of the Western Passenger Association regardless of the fact that by lines of some other associations the provision is not required. Gross earnings of the Illinois Central for the month of July were 41,892,625, an increase of $254,000 over the same month of last year.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1897.

AGAINST JOHN BULL AX ALLIANCE BETWEEN GERMANY AND RUSSIA EFFECTED. Czar and Kaiser Reported to Have Reaelied an Aurc-ement During the Latter’a Visit to St. Petersburg. e CRITICISED BY BISMARCK WHO SAYS GERMANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP HER PROMISE. Tone of tlie Hussimi Press Changed to Anglophone—Germane Planning' to Fight Our Tariff Law. (Special Cable letter.) BERLIN, Aug. 14.—The visit of the Emperor and Empress of Germany to Russia and the reception accorded them tlitre is regarded in this country with divided feelings. Many people blame the Emperor for humbling himself unnecessarily before the Czar, think his Majesty has again exceeded his proper limits and say that the Czar showed much less empressment than his guest in the shower of German decorations and favors bestowed upon the Russian court and other officials. Finally they also consider it extravagant that there are now a dozen Russians who are chiefs of Prussian regiments. The fact that Emperor William upon several occasions spoke in Russian, wh'le the Czar used the French language, is similarly commented upon. On the other hand the results of the Emperor’s visit to St. Petersburg, so far as possible, are what the Empiror wished, especially as regards Great Britain. Henceforth that country will find, upon all important occasions. Russia and Germany in her way. A general understanding to that effect has been definitely reached, not only between the two rulers, but between Count Nuravieff, the Russian minister for foreign affiiirs, and Prince Hohenlohe, the German imperial chancellor, and Baron Von Bulow. It is a curius fact t it the ton© of the entire Russian press i hanged during Emperor William’s stay at St. Petersburg and became frankly Anglophobe. The newspapers of Russia, which have hitherto been constantly hostile to Germany, like the Novo Vremya and the Wyedomosti, now welcome Emperor William as anew ally. From Duke John Albrecht, of Mecklenberg, who has just visited Prince Bismarck, the correspondent of the Associated Press learns the Prince disapproves of Emperor William’s visit to the Czar and its accompanying features as calculated to raise hopes in the Russian mind which Germany later may be unable to fulfill, especially in the matter of further Asiatic conquests. Relative to the state of affairs in South Africa and the role played by the British secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in recent events, Prince Bismarck sharply condemns the latter and fears continued British duplicity. As to advising the Emperor Prince Hohenlohe, the ex-chancellor said: “Even with the best will In the world that is impracticable, since it is impossible for me to supervise the proper carrying out of such advice. Politics are like horseback riding. With the best advice in the world, a careless and inexpert rider will be thrown.”

Acting upon the advice of Baron Von Thielman, the former German embassador at Washington, who has just been appointed privy councilor and the representative of the imperial chancellor in all the financial affairs of the empire, the German government is entering into negotiations with the governments of the other countries injured by the United States tariff, especially France and Belgium, for the purpose of effecting an agreement to demand the submission of all disputed points to a court of arbitration. In Germany’s case the disputed points are mainly the alleged violation of existing treaties and the paying back to the United States treasury of the export premiums paid by Germany. * * * Asa substitute for the Boerse’s report tjpe central office of the Prussian agricultural chambers begins to publish reports of the figures of sales effected in thirty Prussian cities as a guide to farmers. The \ ossiche Zeitung promptly proved that these reports are ' wholly erroneous and grossly misleading. They do not find favor even with the agrarians. + * * Further proof of the growth of the particularism in Bavaria is found in the fact that a distinctly Bavarian party tp replace the existing parties is now in process of formation. The new party, which is encouraged by the Bavarian premier. Von cransheim, commences operations during the coming autumn. * * * During the coming week the Emperor will attend the naval exercises near Dantzic. He will witness the unveiling of a monument to his grandfather at Magdeburg on Aug. 25. and will attend the dedication of a colossal monument at Coblentz. at the con°Th H i ;\ loselle Hn l thc Rhine, on Auf,. oO The latter certainly will be one of unusual splendor. The citv and the oppofort at Ehrbreitenstein will be brilliantly illuminated at night.* His Majesty's speech upon this occasion will be of unusual importance. Sept. 20 the imperial witness arrive at Hombur £ and will nnin -ri he arni y maneuvers that after- ™?° T n - . The same day the King and Queen of Italj "ill arrive at Homburg. General Nelson A. Miles. United States armv has been granted permission to view the’ mat neuvers. Meanwhile ho has gohe to Stockholm and to Russia. The health nf i Grand Duke of Baden prevents his participation in the maneuvers this year 1 * * * Princess Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who narrowly escaped being drowned while skating last winter, was nearly killed early this week near Potsdam. While out ridinashe slipped off her saddle and was dragged some distance along the road. She was eventually rescued by an aid-de-camp and by her husband. * * * ‘ Princess Gisela of Bavaria, heiress to the throne of Bavaria, lias taken to hicvclin 0 * in public. All the Bavarian princes and dukes are keen bicyclists. * * * Before leaving Tegernse. the crown prince of Germany, Frederick William, who was born in May, 18X2, accompanied by I ince Carl Theodore of Bavaria, killed his first chamois and telegraphed to the Emperor first tidings of his exploit * * * Subscriptions for the rel of of the victims of the recent inundatic ns in Germany are pouring in and all of t ie cities of the empire are granting sums of money for the sufferers. The donation of the municipality of Berlin has been increased to 1,000,000 marks; Breslau lias given 100,000 marksCharlottenburg, 50,000 marks; Elberfeld 15,000, etc. The newspapers are collecting money everywhere. The Vossiehe Zeitung collected 65.000 marks within a week and dispatched the money to the sufferers. The provincial chambers are also making appropriations. The government, however, will not call a special session of either the Reichstag or the Diet in order to appropriate money for the reliefir work. ** * f During the autumn maneuvers all the bicycle squads will be employed for the first time as an adjunct to cavalry. Besides carrying messages, etc., hereafter members of the bicycle corps will be selected yearly from the recruits and will be drilled especially for the bicycle service. A long distant e cavalry ride under conditions similar to those which would prevail in actual war time was started from Stargard, in the Dantzic district, on Friday, forty-three officers of the Seventeenth army corps taking part in it. The prize is a gold-handled sword, presented by Emperor William, and the distance to be covered is Wi

kilometers in a bee line. The main roads are all blocked by patrols, so the competitors much reach the goals as best they can by circuitous routes. • * * The minister for war, General Von Gossler, publishes a decree in the Reichsanzeiger in regard to the suppression of all socialism and socialistic literature in the army. * * * , In Wurtemburg, Lieutenant Rabe, of the One-hundred-and-twi nty-second Regiment of Infantry, whose inhuman treatment drove a recruit named Bauer to commit suicide, has been dismissed from the army and sentenced to four months in jail. * * * The signers of the guarantee fund of the Berlin exposition of 1896 have begun legal proceedings against the board of managers, who refuse to furnish them with detailed accounts of the expenditures, the latter having led to an enormous deficit. The charge of dishonesty is brought against members of the board. * * * The United States embassador, Mr. Andrew D.

An Exorbitant Royalty to He Exacted from Digger*—Telegraph Line from the Head of Lynn Canal. > OTTAWA, On;., Aug. 14.—The Cabinet ministers, at the last council held this week, discussed briefly the all-absorbing topic of the Yukon administration* As previously announced, the minister of the interior offered the post of administrator of the, district to Major Walsh, late of the Northwest mounted police, an officer possessing valuable frontier experience. Major Walsh accepted the offer and the Cabinet passed an order confirming his appointment. He will accordingly leave for the Yukon in about three weeks. There were important changes in the mining regulations to be dealt with. Protests against the exorbitant royalty imposed by the new regulations have of late been coming in to the government, but it was decided to disregard for the present all such protests against the royalty clause and await the gold commissioners’ report on its practicability. The change from 500 to 109 feet frontage In "creek" claims was confirmed, and in view of this reduction it was decided also to reduce the annual renewal fee from $lO9 to sls. The new regulations, as amended, to govern the placer mining in the Canadian Yukon district will at once be sent up from Victoria, B. C., and with them will go the advance guard of the men who are to carry the law into effect. It is expected that the telegraph line from the head of the Lynn canal to the Klondike can be built before the winter fully sets in, and in addition to the communication thus established with the interior there will be monthly dog trains going right through from the Pacific coast. It is stated upon undoubted authority that the Dominion government contemplates expending fully $250,000, if found necessary, tins year upon the development of the Yukon, the population of which is expected to exceed 20.U00 souls by the opening Os the next spring.

MISSIONARIES FOR ALASKA. Rex. Young au.l Dr. McExven Will Try to Save Gold-Seekers’ Souls. CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Rev. S. Hall Young, formerly pastor of the University Church at Worcester, 0., and Dr. George A. McEwen, of Farmington, Mo., were in Chicago yesterday en route to Alaska, whither they are going under the auspices of the home mission board of the Presbyterian Church. They have equipped themselves for a year’s stay in the north, so they can be independent of everybody else, and they propose to make their way to the very center of the mining district as soon as possible so they can be of service during the winter to men suffering either of soul or body. Mr. Young will not be by any means a tenderfoot when he reaches the Yukon. He spent ten years between 187 Sand 1888 in Alaska, having headquarters at Fort Wrangel and doing missionary work all along the coast and far into the interior. He has several times gone up the Chilkat pass as far as the summit, and though he has never shot the rapids of the Yukon, he is an old hand at river navigation and is not at all daunted by perils reported on that part ct the route. Dr. McEwen is a Scotch physician, who has been in this country for six or eight years, and who has dedicated himself to the work of foreign missions. He felt, however, that the needs of the miners in the gold fields were so crying that the best way he could be of service was to start for that country at once. He met Mr. Young yesterday for the first time, when the two came together in this city, but they have been in correspondence through the Presbyterian mission board. ’Chicago Klondike Schemes. CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Numerous outcroppings of Klondike financial schemes are visible here. Some of them, with only office furniture, stock books and an incorporate name, have capitalization in seven figures. New ones spring up every day in Chicago. These companies generally have no plans beyond" the purpose of making money out of mines or miners. Some of the mushroom companies announce commissary or sutlers’ business, establishment of transportation lines, boarding house enterprises, mercantile concerns, the purchase of claims, and all of them have as a side issue the grubstaking of miners. Jn contrast, a number of strong, genuine companies have been formed on a cash basis with definite plans of action. Their favorite idea is to employ men who have had experience in mining camps and take to the Klondike such supplies as miners need and sell them at a profit. It is argued that, whether gold seekers strike it rich or go to work for others who do so, they must be equipped for work, fed and clothed. Canada's Customs Regulations. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Mr. Adam, the British charge d’affaires, has telegraphed the Department of State that the customs charges on miners’ outfit for Klondike arriving from Dyfea and other points are those authorized by the ordinary revenue laws of Canada. No special or unusual regulations were made. On the contrary, the instructions sent were to exempt miners’ blankets, personal clothing in use, and broken packages of provisions; also cooking utensils. To make the allowance clear, instructions have been given lor the season to the custom officer at Tagish to exempt 100 pounds of food for the journey, charging ordinary customs duty only on 'excess. Rich Finds In the Kootenai. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Aug. 14. Frank McCoy, of this city, has jdst returned from a visit to his brother in British Columbia. He states that tlie mountains of that country abound with gold and silver ore, the former predominating, and that it will rival in a short while the Alaskan gold regions. It also possesses the advantage of a climate not nearly so severe as that of Alaska. McCoy has a brother who is a miner at Nelson, the terminus of the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway, 200 miles from Seattle. The riehest finds have been made.in the Kootenai district. A Rash to CotVce Creek. REDDING. CAL, Aug. 14.-J. M. Graham arrived here last night from Coffee creek and reported that miners and prospectors are coming into the new diggings in crowds. Graham and an old Colorado prospector named Armstrong located claims on Coffee creek not far from Graves brothers’, five days ago. They say the diggings are in an old river channel and that the bed rock is very deep. Noise of Cities. Leslie’s Weekly. There is no doubt that the multiplied noises of our time distinctly shorten life. They certainly make it harder to live. In cities, and large or considerable towns, people who are id and in the doctor's hands lose their lives in hundreds of cases because of excessive noise, and those who recover

After One Application of CUTICURA Child Slept. Cured Without a Scar. My baby, when one year old (photograph herewith), broke out all over with a rash. He was a mass of sores. You could not put your \ G>l finger on him anywhere > there was not a sore. His face looked like a slice of fresh beef, and \ lie crietl ui £kt antl day* l Ho would rub, scratch, called and left some powder to put on him, but it did no good. It would take two to hold him, and one to put medicine on him. We had to hold him sometimes an hour or two before we could get him quieted down. All said that they never saw such a face or body on any baby as on hun. I had to cut the sleeves out of his clothes, and put gauze underwear on him to keep him cool. I had to keep pieces of soft cloth around his neck, it was so wet with moisture from the sores, and had to change the cloths sometimes ten or twelve times a dav. I had to tie his hands tight in a cloth, night and day,for five months. My sister had used Cuticura, and I began to use it and was surprised at the result. After only one application, he lay down and slept as he had not for a month, poor little fellow. After I had used Cuticura Remedies a day he was glad to have me wash and dress him. He has nor a scar on him now, and is as fair and his flesh is as soft as any baby just born. Ho was absolutely cured in three months by one cake Cuticura Soap, two boxes Cuticura (ointment), and one-half bottle Cuticura Resolvent. Mrs. A. HAYNES, Lisbon, N. D. Sold throughout the world.

It is strange that the race, having exalted its nerves by more coddled living and less harsh exposure, should torment with tenfold more racket than its ancestors put up with, these victims of neurosthenia. The civilization of the person dismisses loud tones. The loud laugh, as Emerson says, is "barbaric.” In a polite drawing room no one expects, or finds, the bawl of the Comanche. Why can we now take our multiplied mechanism in hand and tame it as we have our educated folk?
