Dec 2D.-A special to the Herald from Vienna says; "Reports which have arrived here from Bucharest give an account of a new configuration of the Balkans of. tho greatest political interest, which, if It should turn out to be true, will throw a curious light on the relations of Germany and Austria to Russia. It is Elated in the Bucharest press that, at the tuergestlon of Count Von Buelow, an Offentivo and defensive alliance has been concluded between Turkey and Boumanla which was directed against any power which would try to disturb the peace in the Balkans. This is perhaps only designed to detract Russia's attention to a certain degree from the Chinese problem. "With a view to paralyzing this alliance an entente Las be:n come to between Servla and Bulgaria under the patronage of Russia." Anglo-French Bone of Contention. PARIS, Dec. 20. Tho semi-official Temps favorably commenting ou the prospects of the Anglo-French negotiations regarding the Newfoundland French shore, says: "France cannot be deprived of her incon, testable and undisputed rights. An understanding must be arranged. But this task Is not above the efforts of the diplomats of the two countries. It would be especially happy that this cause of peretual misunderstandings and permanent bad relations should, thanks to the wisdom and good will of the two governments, become the basis for accord and that Newfoundland instead of being a bone of contention become the cause of a cordial understanding between France and England." Swedish Stenmrr Line Proposed. STOCKHOLM, Dec. 2D. The commission for the promotion of Sweden's foreign commerce proposes the establishment of regular Bteamer lines to the United States and South America, particularly the United States, whence Imports aro rapidly growing, while Swedish exports are unimportant. Sweden at present receives American goods chlclly through London. Hamburg and 'Antwerp, and they appear in Swedish statistics as not from the United States. The commission proposes bounties for the two lines to the United States and South America, and also sets forth that bountled lines from Sweden to Russia are desirable.

Leo Advice to Cardinal Richard. PARIS, Dec. 20. Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, has received a long letter from the Pope expressing bitter sorrow at tho danger threatening tho religious orders. Ills Holiness advises the French bishop to work in perfect harmony to safeguard th Interests of the congregation. The anti-ministerial rress makes much capital out of the Pope's letter. The Gaulols says it foresees a rupture between the Vatican and the Elysee, and declares that the Ministerialists are delighted with the prospect. La Requbllque expresses the fear that Germany and Austria will be able to replace French Influence in the far Fast If the law of associations is passed. rvcvr Care for Drunkenness. LONDON, Dec. 2D.

FAIE WEATHER JO-DAY. 2uch Co, der and Marrow-Freezing "Winds Predicted for 31onday. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Forecast for Eunday and Monday: For Ohio Fair on Sunday; Monday fair and much colder, except possibly snow flurries near the lakes; brisk to high west to northwest winds. For Indiana and Illinois Fair on Sunday; Monday fair, much colder; winds becoming brisk northwesterly. . January Probabilities. "WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. The following Btatements are based on average weather conditions for January, as determined' by long series of observations. As the weather of any given January does not conform strictly to the average conditions, the statements cannot be considered as forecasts: "January 13 a month of severe storms In the middle latitudes of the North Atlaitlc ocean. Along the transatlantic steamship tracks these storms set in with southeast sales which shift to west and northwest with freezing temperature. West-bound vessels experience sudden shifts of wind from the southeast and storms of comparatively short duration, and have prevailing strong head (westerly) winds. Storms encountered by eastward-bound vessels are fewer in number and of longer duration; the vessels and the storms travel in the same direction. Storms seldom appear in the tropical regions of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in January. On the north coast of western Cuba, however, and in the Gulf of Mexico high and cold northwest winds are not uncommon during the winter months. "In the lake region and the Atlanticcoast districts of the United States the severest January storms come from the middle 'Vest and Southwest, with northeast shifting to northwest gales and snow to the north and rain or light snow to the south of the paths of the storms. In the Paclüc-coast States the rainy season is at Its height and strong sales occur from the central California coast to Alaska. In the plateau and Rocky-mountain districts and on the great plains the prevailing weather Is fine and cold. This entire region is, however, subject to occasional cold waves of great severity, which, with snow and high winds, sweep southward to New Mexico and Texas and sometimes to the Rio Grande and northern Mexico, causing great losses of stock on the great ranges. "Frost is likely to occur in any part of the United States in January, and about once in five years severe freezes occur in the gulf-coast districts and in central and northern Florida."

TO HAVE TWO MASTERS'

LAWSO.VS CtP DEFENDER WILL DE WELL PROVIDED WITH TALENT. Capt. Hank Hnff to Sail the Yacht and Capt. Ante Wntson to Assist A Second Cliallen&er. BOSTON, Dec. 29. The Lav.ron cup defender will have two masters, Capt. Hank Haff to be sailing master and Capt. Nate Watson to be on board in an advisory capacity. This announcement was contained in yie following statement issued to-night by Thomas W. Lawson: "I have to-day entered into a contract with Capt. Hank Haff to take command of the new boat. It has been my wish from the beginning, and those upon whom I largely depend for advice say It would be best to have both Captain Haff and Captain Watson sail the boat, one acting as advisory and reserve skipper. Immediately after contracting for the building of the boat I made an offer to Captain Watson upon terms that were satisfactory to him and my offer was accepted by him so far as lay 4n his power, that is. It was necessary for him, as he was under contract to sail the Constellation, to first obtain his release from her owner, which he has been unable so far to do. Mr. Skinner, who is abroad, cabled that it would so inconvenience him next season that he would prefer not to release Captain Watson unless it became necessary. It is our hope that the matter can yet be arranged so we may have the joint services of both these able racing skippers, but if we are unable to do so we all feel that our boat will be as well raced as either of her rivals." . LIPTO.VS SECOND YACHT. It Will Be Constructed by the Dennys After a New Model. LONDON, Dec. 29. George W. Watson's desertion of the Hendersons and his employment by the Dennys, who have never built sailing yachts of any description, to construct Sir Thomas Lipton's second America's cup challenger has created much discussion and hitherto has not been explained. A representative of the Associated Press learns, however, that Mr. Watson was influenced by the benefits of the Dennys testing tank, which he first tried with the yacht Lysistrata. After this he utilized the tank for a series of experiments to determine the best hull shape for Shamrock II before he signed the contract with Sir Thomas Lipton. He is convinced he has discovered a hull much better than anything he has ever designed. The testing tank Is in reality a pond two hundred feet long, twenty-two feet broad and nine feet deep. Over it is a railroad with a car drawn by a stationary engine. The model is attached to the carriage and tho speed got from every model, for every ounce of power is automatically recorded. There are arrangements also for testing at all keel angles. The apparatus is said here to be the only one of its kind in the world. By its means Mr. Watson has tried a dozen models. The importance of these experiments can be judged from his admission that It was due to a fault of the hull that Valkyrie and Shamrock failed. It is believed the new boat will stand driving hard without drawing a big quarter wave behind. Hence secrecy is so carefully observed. OBITUARY. Dr. XV, G. Bercs, Father of the White Man's Game of Lacrosse. MONTREAL. Dec. 29.-Dr. W. G. Beres, who Is dead here, was the father of the modern game of lacrosse, which, originating in Montreal, has spread all over AngloSaxondom.

O, Deason, a saloon keeper of De Soto, in thl3 county, met hl3 death as a result of being Initiated into a secret order known as the Knights of the Royal Arch.

Says Southern Stntcs Which Disfranchise JVcgroes Are in Rebellion. BOSTON, Dec. 29.-Tho Middlesex Club held its monthly dinner at Young's this afternoon, at which ex-Governor Brackctt, its president, made a remarkable speech inj discussion of the subject of "Election Laws," the selected topic for the occasion. He referred to the new apportionment of the States for national representatives, and in quoting the constitutional requirements for such apportionment said that Congress cannot ignore the action of four Southern States in disfranchising colored citizens. He said the representation from those States must be reduced, and the States themselves, in throwing out the colored vote, he maintained; were in rebellion against the United States. i TOOK TO THE WOODS. Miles and Daly in the Wilds When Alger's Broadside Was Fired. RALEIGH, N. C, Dec. 29. Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Dr. Daly are hunting at Rock Spring, on Trent river, as guests of C. P. Jerome. GOLDSBORO, N. C, Dec. 29. Lieut. Gen. Nelson A Miles, of the United States army, is in the city to-day, en route to Washington. He is returning from a hunting trip on- tho Trent river. Speaking of Alger's attack, he said: "I have not read it in its entirety. Alger waited some two years ti. make the attack, and I guess 1 need be in no hurry to make reply. The beef question has been pretty well condemned already by the press of the country. If need be, I may have yet something to say of the rottenness of the whole alfair." CHANGES HEB MIND. Carrie IVntlon Will Accept Freedom In Order to Raid 3Iorc "Joints." WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 29. Mrs. Carrie Nation, who was arrested for demolishing a mirror and painting in a saloon here, has agreed to accept bail which W. C. T. U. members are securing. She declares she only accepted her freedom that she may prosecute her work of demolishment in other saloons. CUDAHY THREATENED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST TAGE.) fact that the abductors told young Cudahy when they took him prisoner that he was wanted as "Eddie McGee for stealing $500 from his aunt" is considered significant. McGee's description fits fairly well with that of the man seen in company with the alleged Crowe. Ills aliases have been numerous and there Is some doubt as to his real name. A woman said to be his wife, living in South Omaha and known as "Lizzie Burns," is being looked for by the police as a late companion of Crowe. "There can be no doubt." said Chief of Police Donahue to-night "that there was a woman in the case and I have reason to believe that that woman is still in Douglas county. I don't care to say just why I think so. Crowe was not a woman's man, so far as my knowledge of him goes. But it is not difficult to understand why a woman was pressed into service in this matter. A woman could pick up a little girl on the street and carry her away easily, where if a man would attempt it the child would scream and be frightened into hysterics. So I think this accounts for the appearance of the woman in the case. I can say, however, that the police are looking for no particular woman at this time." CHOWK WHITES A LKTTER. Teil a Detective lie Is Everywhere Mnps Ont Ills Route. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 29. Detective Dick Fulks, of the city police force, has received a letter from Pat Crowe, mailed on boayd a Burlington railway train at some point between this city and Omaha. It reads as follows: "At Large. Dec. 27, 1900.-Dear Dick: I am having the time of my life. Ever since the beginning of my eventful career I have enjoyed the reputation of being a wonder. Train robberies without number have been charged up to me, and every time there is a diamond robbery 1 did it. I have been known to commit two crimes in one night In widely different localities; have been captured, shot, and at one time actually had my charred remains found under a freight wreck. But all the records have been eclipsed by the records of tho. List few days, or since Mr. Cudahy parted company with J23.000 for the return of his boy. "I note by the papers that I have been seen simultaneously in Omaha, St. Joe, Denver. San Francisco, Dayton, Chicago, Oshkosh. Kalamazoo, Atchison and Podunk. You will note that I am spreading myself. You will sec also that I am still eluding capture. That is not the fault of the detectives. They are doing their best, tut how can they expect to capture me when I have become so numerous? "Give Dan Shea my best, and tell him he is doing fine. He is the only detective in the West who has not laid claim to the distinction of having seen me. When you write address the letter 'Transient. I am r till skipping around and have no permanent address. "My route for tho balance of the week I? as follows: Friday, Honolulu, Amazonia, New York, Burr Oak Bottoms; Saturday, Memphis, Elwood, Turkey Creek, Minneapolis, Seattle; Sunday, will rest, dividing my time between New Orleans and Nome city. Will send route for next week later. I will spend a part of the time in Europe. This exercise Is proving healthy and I am gaining flesh; never felt better. This is not fo coniihln.tr as what I have been used to in Jefferson City and other places. Write soon. Yours, on the wing. "PAT CROWE." Of Course He Flew Array. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 29. For the fourth time the police and detectives of this city have been outwitted by Pat Crowe and the men who are alleged are to be instrumental in keeping him from the clutches of the police Captain Henry Franz led a squad of officers in a raid on a building this evening, in which It was supposed Crowe and Ralston, alias McGee, Crowe'a pal, were In hiding, hut the officers found no trace of the men. Policemen Dillon and Carson stated to-night that Crowe and Ralston were in the building this afternoon. Farmer Shot by a Woman. MARYVILLE. Mo., Dec. 29.

Mr. Growney was brought to Maryvllie to-night to have his wounds examined by the X-rays. It Is thought they will prove fatal. It is alleged that Growney circulated stories about Mrs. Willis. Mrs. Willis was brought here and lodged in 1ail. She was apparently cool, but would not talk about the thootinsr.

DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 29. Papers were read at to-day's session of the American Historical Association, which Is In session in the convention hall of the Russell House here, covering periods in history in America from 1776 to the negro question, as it stands at the present time. The first paper was on "The Opposition of Parliament 1765-1775 by Prof. W. C. Abbott, of Dartmouth College. The second was "The Undoing of the Reconstruction," otherwise known as "The Negro Question." This paper was read by William A. Dunning, of Columbia University. In brief, Prof. Dun-, ning said that the men who had handled the negro question in the middle of the century were of strong emotions and narrow judgment, laboring under the delusion that the abolishment of slavery meant the abolishment cf every other obstacle immediately. In the discussion which followed Prof. Alfred Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University, said the removal of the negro from the South, by colonization elsewhere, would kill the Southern States. The South, he said, could not live without the negro. He deplored the lynching of negroes, but asserted that If the people of a community demanded the burning at the stake of negroes as a penalty for committing horrible crimes, the State should make burning the legal penalty. A number of other members also discussed the question. Economists Elect Officers. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 29.

Wesley Booth, of the Clayton Circuit Court, to-day rendered a decision upholding the legality of bucket-shop transactions from the standpoint of common law. The case was that of Gaylord, Blessing & Co., against Hannah Duryea, The plaintiffs asked a judgment for $3,479.0$, . which they alleged was commissions due them from the defendant for speculating in stocks for her. Mrs. Duryea contested the claim on the ground that all the transactions were gambling ones, and accordingly not within cognizance of law. Judge Booth rendered an oral decision. The transactions, he said, were carried on In New York, and were consequently under the laws of that State, the wording of which he was not familiar with. In the absence of statutory enactment "he said he would have to rely on common law and would give a verdict for the plaintiffs, as an attempt to knock out tho transactions on the charge of gambling could not be sustained, because both principal and agent knew at the time of the transaction that there was to be no actual transfer of stock. The case has attracted much attention among lawyers on account of'lhe question that it involved. CHICAGO SALOONS CLOSED. Topers Unable to Get n Drink at the AU-Mxht Itcsort. CHICAGO, Dec. 29. All saloons were closed as tight as drums at midnight tonfght, for the first time since the present mayor. Carter II. Harrison, has held office. Chicago was given a taste of the blue laws, and the men sitting as grand jurors in the Criminal Court building, through their deliberations and exposures, were charged with the responsibility for the great change. The orders closing the saloons emanated from Chief of Police Joseph Klpley's oflice and were read to every police officer detailed on night duty at evening roll call. Captains and lieutenants, in advising their subordinates, told them the order was "on the square." The attempts of the olllcers te impress upon the proprietors of all liquor establishments that the law must be obeyed brought laughter and ridicule upon them until it was apparent the patrolmen n question were not joking. In the business section of the city the men who conduct all-night resorts were nonplussed.

WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 9. C. G. Kceply and R. I. Borington, County Commissioners, and Frank T. Hatter, county clerk of Garfield county, Oklahoma, are In the county jail on the order of Judge John L. McAtee, where they must remain until they agree to recount the county vote cast at the last election for probate judge and pay a fine of $100 each for contempt. Loraine Moore, a Populist candidate, was defeated by one vote, and onoffcring proof that he really had a majority of one vote. Judge McAtee ordered a . recount. The commissioners and clerk received an order from an adjoining district Judge not to recount, and the fight, to a great extent, is between the two district judges. The commissioners and clerk say they will rot in jail before they will comply with Judge McAtee's order. They will apply to the Supreme Court, of which both judges are members, for relief. Later The Garfield County Commissioners were released to-day by, Chief Justice Burford on habeas corpus proceedings. COLLEGES OF THE WEST. The Work They Arc Doing; &ot Properly Appreciated. Central Christian Advocate. Archdeacon Cyrus Town send Brady says, in his "Recollections of a Missionary In the Great West," that the West is misunderstood by Eastern people. He illustrates the statement with experiences that but for their humor might well excite derision. But whllethe great West is in many respects misunderstood, it is misunderstood in nothing more than as regards its educational Institutions. In these Western colleges not .a few teachers are post-graduate students and enthusiasts from Johns Hopkins, Berlin, Halle, Har vard, as wen as our own neaviiy endowed Institutions; and there is apparatus quite adequate for any specialty, and modern pedagogical theories contemporaneous with the latest scientific attainment. We have not space to elaborate this by concrete Illustrations. But educators who have discounted our Institutions as virtually academies and degree-grinding mills have been astonished when Inspecting our college plants and interrogating the professors, and observing the work and spirit of the student body. Men high in the Nation In all vocations are from these schools; and If their endowment funds and the army of students are Inferior to the great educational caravansaries of the East, they are not In many instances Inferior in the quality, quantity and effectiveness of the classroom and laboratory work. There are exceptions, but these exceptional institutions are doing a necessary though somewhat humble work. Fire In a Biff Retail Store.
