No European povcjrnnient rcenis disposed to interfere with J'ratv in its design to punish Turkey if ih Sultan docs not pay Iiis debts to I'rcnchn-.en. This is probably due to the fact that France wants pay for its wharves and do.-s not want Turkish soil or tlu p.lssa.e to the I'dack sen. Previously, when there has been a movement tiKainst Turkey by one i;o eminent, the others have interfered, m) that the Sultan became Indifferent to threat. The latent advices from the heart of the Urike di.-trlct indicate that tho Amala mated Association is beaten because m any of its men are Koh-.jj to work.

Indc-d, the fact of its victory x 1 1 1 bo very certain to increas-e popular hostility to the jrreat combination, and j.opular antiment can periously affect the welfare of a very larsc corporation. The result of the conference jn New York yesterday will bo watched with interest. The United States Ir.'.ii.-tri al ce.nimisi-ion has issued a reicv of t lie eidcüce tak. n by it on the coal-mlnlng industry. The witnesses were emi 1 t rs, at.d they all rpeak well of tho miners ur.'ou ai conservative anl gen- rally well managed. The witnesses were also u ur.it ia approving formal agreements lü't'.vur. employers. a;al employes tbtermir.lng wagts, hours and other conditions of lator l r a Uxed period. It was said that the cp. r tt -rr n-'we'.l as the miner.! N-neiU by the agrveuu nt system, that tic. number of ci-putt s i.:;.l strikes wa4 diminished by ir, and the several districts and the operators within each cii'trict are put upor a fairer b ais of competition with each ether.

thits am) run r.ovi:n.3ii:.NT. ' ThA editor of Ountoa's Mapazinp, whoso views of trijr.omic fjuestions are entitled to :it;r:itlcn. takes exception to the quite previ.Ii :it oplr.ion that large combinations of capital will sck to control the government tl: rough Congress by yeekins and obtainIn legislation tliat will bo beneficial to them and harmful to tho public. lie says that Indu.-try has most needed protection when concerns were the smallest, but as corporations have grown nnd superior methods been introduced, political aid has become lss end less necessary. Many industries have outgrown the need of protection, the most notable of which is the production of iron. Years ago the life of the iron industry In this country depended upon protection. That industry made strenuous efforts to obtain the aid of the government, and iron-makers went to Congress for protective legislation. Mr. Guntori cites the attitude of the iron interest iu recent years toward tariff legislation. When the Gorman bill was before Congress, In lSal, Mr. Carnegie, who had been the carne-rt champion of protection when his irun interests were at stake, told the Gorman committee that he was practically willing to accept free trade in iron and teel. He did this because his plant was in a position which made political assistance unnecessary. Proceeding, Mr. Gunton in quires what a billion-dollar corporation has to ask of Congress. Nothing; it can do. through the control It lias acquired of suflicient sources of ore, the process of manu facture, methods of transportation and marketing all tho things a protective tariff could not do when plants were weak. This corporation cares nothing for protection on its main products, because It does not fear competition. Replying to the question, how does it come that corporations exercise so much influence over legislation? Mr. Gunton says that the interests that beset Congress aro in an undeveloped sitate. He does not cite instances, but the ship-building Indus try and the beet-sugar industry might be named as of the class that beset Congress for protection at tho present time. In this connection Mr. Gunton says is the organ ized lobby about Congress, and, he might have added, about State legislatures, that appears to be the representative of corpora lions. These lobbies arc not there because corporations need their assistance, but they pay them blood money to prevent them from injuring their interests. lobbies fc cure th introduction of bills which, if they should be enacted or if assaults should be made upon them, would harm corporations; so corporations have learned that it is cheaper and lc?s troublesome to pay blackmail than to right the blackmailers. Speaking as the result of investigation, Mr. Gun ton nays 0) per cent, of the corporations which are blackmailed in this way would regard it as a great blessing to be entirely freed from entangling relations with government. It is a matter that can be demonstrated by ample evidence that In several States lobbyists Introduce bills designed to impose burdens upon railroad corporations and that the companies either buy thee professionals off or fight them with lobbies of their own. In one scheme before the last Indiana Legislature the eonipames gave notice . mat tny would light rather than bo blackmailed. These suggestions of Mr. Gunton are worthy of careful attention iu Connection with consideration of the questions relating to the advantages and disadvantages of the combination of A. considerable number of manufacturing Interests into one ffcimensc corporation. falsi: An hahmfil c:iiattf.r. It is not only at variance with the facts, but a stigma upon the. gexnl name of a lawabiding and rights-respecting city to style the brawls which have been taking place occasionally in this city the past season a race war. The whole trouble Is due to an organized gang of young ruffians who have had a name and an organization for five or six years. At first, aiul even now, It Is immaterial to them whether the object of their persecution is black or white. It is usually safe to assail negreics because there Is l'ss danger in doing so. A party of whites that was defenseless and which could be terrorized would be attacked the same as ii they were blacks. But tho point which the Journal Insists on, anel which all intelligent people will in sist on, is that there is no such a thing as a race war in Indianapolis. Among the people of both races who respect themselves there is the best of feeling. Colored labor In Indianapolis occupies an important place iu the Industrial system of the city. In all large establishments in the city a number of colored men hold positions anel are respected because they are faithful. There are bad, very bail, negroes, anel thero are bad, and very bad, whites; both aro dls- ( reputable in every respect, and disreputable In tho same way. The negroes furnish more than a proportional share of the busi ness of the Police Court, probably because they are less cautious. Just now the thing lor white ruffians to do Is te persecute negroes. It is the result of the viciousness of a class of toughs in whom the spirit of lawlessness and savagery is rampant. For a time the "Bungaloo" gans assailed peaceable negroes. Very naturally, younger negrees who have been made the object of such outrages have threatened to organize and retaliate. They have not done so because of the Influence of the large number of law-observing and cool-headed negroes In the cltv. Here let It be said that there is no more reason to hold colored people gt ru rally responsible for the acts of men like Miller, who probably went Into the Columhi i-avcnue crowd to shoot, than there is to hold the decent whites in the sections in which the "Bungaloos" live responsible for their acts. It is time that the police authorities give their attention to the "Bungaloo" gang and others who appear to be ready to commit outmg In a' manner which will strike terror to such evildoers. Three or four years ufc the "Burgaloos" were laughed at, but now that they have grown up they are a menace to life and property. Judge Daly h:.s et an 'exceflent example in punishing the scoundrels who have been arrested. In appealed cues 1ft the Criminal Court do Its duty. As to Miller, let him be arraigned at once and convicted and given the severest seilten eo of the law. Thus far tho police authorities are chlclly responsible for these outrage-. They are responsible that those who make up the "Bungaloo" and Ilk? gai gs arc nut well-known and kept uu-

In tho current Issue of the Century Iiishop Potter, who went to the far Kast some time since, gives his Impressions re garding Hawaii and some observations on j Tntt,i Ktrctr; to that island. The bishop declares that he H not an imperialist, but, i:i view of the situation of Hawaii, he does not see how the United States could have turneJ a deaf ear to the request of the progressive element for the protection of the nation which gave civilization to Hawaii. Urnler the Kamehamehas a good anel strong gevcrnment was maintained under American tutelage, but later the native monarchy was the tool of tho off-scourlngs of civilization. Such a rule it was necessary to overthrow. Of the importance of Hawaii to the commerce of this country with the far Kast the bishop says: One need not be dazzled or blinded by the glamor of imperial expansion in order to recognize that no republic fuch as ours can draw a line around its domestic ttnitory and ignore its duties and its oppor tunities with reference te the rest of the world. We must trade with other coun tries than our own. and if we have anything good that they have not we must needs wish and. even though there should be pecuniary profit in It. may rightlv wish to impart it to them. But we cannot do this unless we can get at them, and we cannot get at them without tho physical resources anel conveniences which shall en able us to do so. Now, the Hawaiian Islands stand pre-eminently for one of these conveniences. No traffic with the great Kast can be maintained except at almost I ti'AAn itc, . . .1 .. !..,.:,,-. I coalintr station, nnd no creater nnnortnnitv for the enlargement of certain denartments or agriculture and trade than the Hawaiian islands afford could easilv bo discovered. If we do our duty toward them we shall llnel our interest in doing It. and to that I duty and to those toward whom wo are ii mscnarge it xnere is no great worm power that is so near as we. Geographical, commercial anel moral cemsideratlons hero I seem all to point one way If the conditions were different from what they are in Hawaii, the reasons the bishop gives for controlling and exercising sovereignty over the island are ample, as suming that Letter government can be tc cured under our direction. The dynasty whleh was overthrown was weak, corrupt I and hoti!c to all nrozrtss two-tbinla or the inhabitants are a mixture of other races than the Hawaiian, and it seems a duty to take possession of the half-way station to the far Kast and the foi tress that will defend an isthmus canal in our possession. Into the control of some worid power Hawaii would fall sooner or later because of the weakness and corruption of its rulcrn and the mixture of races which now inhabit the island. Rather than tiLrn curli o lid' I r . i .. . . , . iv n.-rn, ii i a i ociicr mat our government should possess It before there could be a conflict among other nations for its possession.

When Mr. Moody met the first band of students at the Training School eleven years ago, he ?aid: "Well, girls, I don't know how much Bible you will get this year, but I do mean that you shall know how to cock a beefsteak and make a cup of coffee, so that your poor husbands, when you get them, necel not have dyspepsia the first year." This end has been kept in view through all the years of the school. The. domestic science classroom is neither as large nor as well equipped as the seminary, but with a class of fourteen at work it is a busy place, and reports from those now on the mission field, as well as the practical results in the extensive cooking for the school, show that Mr. 3Ioody's hopes are being realized. One of the stuelents, now In Africa nursing the soldiers, writes: "What should I have done without my experience in cooking at NorthlieM, with broths. Jellies and custards to make for scores of sick men. as well as more substantial dishes for those in health: and all with a most meager supply of cooking utensils?"

ENDLESS CHAIN OF SILVER.

Eautern Coantry Dank Combine Aga i nut the Ronton Clearing lIoue. Boston Special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A novel system in banking has been presented here by the fight of about seventyfive country banks of New England against the Boston clearing house. These banks, refusing to pay 1C0 cents on the dollar of the Just claims presented by the clearing house, have resorted to an endless chain method of transporting silver dollars all over NewEngland at the expense of the government and the clearing house, and, although the practice has been in vogue only one week, it is raising a lot of trouble. Having refused to pay at par, these bank3 were notified by the clearing house committee that on and after Aug. 27 the clearing buse would collect checks on them by express. Rut two of the banks were found tej be so far away from a railroad that no express company would do business with them, and so another perplexing problem confronted the clearing house committee. Rut, to add to their troubles, the country bankers discovered that they could use the povernment as a cat's-paw, and so put the United States subtreasury to work against the banks of Boston by taking advantage of a technicality in tho latest banking law. The act of March C. lA Is the one in question, and it appropriates for the year ending June 3e, 1 :)'. "for transportation of silver coin, including fractional silver coin, by registereel mail or otherwise, Jl'.oeu; anet in expending this sum the secretary of the treasury is authorized and directed to transport from the treasury dr snbtreasury, free of charge, silver coin when requested to do so; provided, that an equal amount of coin or currency shall have been deposited in the treasury or subtreasuries by the applicant or applicants." Several banks have in the past week had the United States, subtreastirer here send them JliXt.onO in silver dollars by express at the expense of the government. The idea Is to have the government pay the expense of transportation into the country and the Boston clearing house pay the expressige back to Boston. Practically, thes banks have already naiel in advance $P"0.mj of checks frem Boston, for this amount they have drawn out of their interest-bearing balances in this city to obtain the silver of tho subtreasurer. The coin Is wanted a3 a weapon to annoy the Boston banks, in the hope that they will lesist from demanding 1"0 cents on the dollar. It is very much like malicious mischief, and the bankers are considering steps to put a stop to it. Bankers claim that to take advantage of the government's generosity and put it to the expense of transporting silver to distant places, merely to pay it over to toe same express company for reshipment to thf city in which is the subtrcasury from which it came, constitutes a fraud on tho government, and they aelvocate that the silver be sent by registered mail, an investigation made, and a fraud order be Issued by the postmaster general, which would permit the secretary of the treasury to refuse to send such banks any more silver upon their application. RELICS OF MOUND BUILDERS. Skeletons nnd Ornaments 1'oiinil in the A denn Mound in Ohio. Chlllieothe Letter in New York Tribune. The work of opening the great Adena mound", just north of this city, has just been completed by Dr. W. C. Mills, working tinder tho auspices of the State Historical and Archaeological Society, and it has been done in a manner so thorough that not a spadeful of the original mound remains. The magnitude of this task, which has occupieel a force, of laborers all summer, will be understood when it is stated that the mound was originally twenty-six feet in height and 175 feet in diameter. But the work was rich in results, a total of twenty-four skeletons having been exhumed, together with numberless Implements and ornaments of rare workmanship. Perhaps the most interesting find in tho entire mound was almost at the exact center of the base. Here a carefully constructed mausoleum of logs was found, and In it an adult skeleton In a fine state of preservation. This was evidently tho chieftain in whose honor tho mound was begun, for with the skeleton were found a string of beads made of bears' claws, a number ef awls and spearheaels of slate and horn and 1 a remarkable pipe, eight inches in length and beautifully carved. Other pipes have been found in the mound, but none so elaborate as this. Two other large mausoleums had been constructed on the base line a short distance from the renter. In one of these was found the body of a child, about twelve? years old. About the loins had been wrap ped bands of cloth, much of which is still in fine condition, and then, over all, was wound sheet after sheet of birchbark. held In place by ppllnts of wood. The floor of this mausoleum was covered with line white sand, anel under this was a layer of black sand, which had been tamped down hard. The dome of the mausoleum was about five feet and a half In height. Here tofore pieces of cloth woven by the mound builders were rare, but from the Adena mound Dr. Mills has necured some hun dreds of pieces in a fine state of preserva tion. The fabric is or two textures, one or about the fineness of coarse cotton cloth, and the other resembling burlap. About this vault a barricade had been built origi nally, and the holes made by the posts were still plainly visible. The third mausoleum was -shaped, anel In this an adult skeleton was found. It had on Its arms a number of bracelets of beaten copper. Lying on the arm hemes was a lone, narrow gorget, hekl to the arm by one of the bracelets. With it was a large quantity of pearls, many of them as large ns peas. A fourth mausoleum was found, made of logs a foot in diameter, but nothing was found in It except one spear head. All of the other skeletons were found either around the edge of the mound or In the upper strata. Most of them had been protecteel by a covering of logs, and were in excellent condition. Some few had been put In hurriedly, as though brought from a distance, and crumbled as soon as the air struck them. With nearly all of them were found beads, copper ornaments. pearls, gorgets, spearheads and arrowheads, so that the total collection secured from the mound Is one of the richest and most varied ever found in the State. This is the last of the big mounds In this neighborhood that has been left undisturbed. It was originally In the estate purchased a hundred years ago by Governor Thomas Worthington. and neither he nor his descendants would ever rermlt it to be disturbed. Recently, however, it passed out of the family's hinds, and its exploration was at once arranged for by Dr. Mills. This practically completes the story of the mound builders, so far as it can be discovered in this State, and archaeologists will now have to turn their attention to the mounds in Illinois and Indiana and down the valley of the Mississippi. SURVEYS OF THE GREAT LAKES. Present Condition, of the I'Inliorate Undertaking; by Government. Chicago Inter Ocean. Maj. W. L. Fisk, under whose supervision the United States lake survey Is working, recently returned to Detroit from a trip to upper Lake Michigan, where he completed a survey of the South Fox island shoal and lake in that vicinity. The engineer corps at the present time Is at work getting out rew- charts, which will be printed in color, to replace the old charts now in use. In a recent interview Major Fisk said that the general plan is to survey all the lakes to meet present and future conditions, and for the guidance of deep-draught boats. He said that the difficulty with existing charts ia that most of them were drawn when beats of twelve and fourteen-foot draught were considered big ones, but now that 5J-footers. drawing eighteen feet and over are the rule rather than the exception. It is imperative that the chart be brought up to date. According to the majors statement, an entirely new survey of upper Lake Michigan and the west end of Lake Erie will be made, and a chart of Iake Huron, including Georgian bay. has already been started. Chart of the harbors at Cleveland. Fairport, Conneaut. Ashtabula ami Muskegon, he says, will soon b out. The ones for Duluth and Superior harbors and Maumce bay are now ready, and the chart of Cleveland harbor is already in the ha mis of the printers. A new chart of the Detroit river is also being prepared, showing the channel from Detroit to Ike Erie, containing valprogressiny at the Sou. That in the St.

uable information and details on a large scale of Bollard's reef and the Lime Kilns

crossing. An interesting work upon which Major Fisk and his men are now engaged is that of srauirlr.ir the flow of the Detroit river to ascertain the amount of water which passe s through the river. Similar work is now Clair river has been completed. The gauging of the St. Lawrenc river and the Niagara river ha been finished, and that at Detroit will rrubably be completed in about a vear. This work Is part of the great undertaKlng by the government to rather data re- j garding the 1 ike water level., and measure - ments at the various points named will l ! used in the work of finding out the surr'" from the various sources and tracing b" th- sources. Referring to the idea that h been current fcr several years th.at Lrik i:rie b v Is are falling, and'that b-. fore b- ' -. sornrthing will have to 1 ' done to mnir.t : th.e level. Major Fisk declares that conations are not at all a'.armlng. liL't if 1'. , worst should com" it would not le a ve; y diilieult task, in his opir.i w to build a cia-:i across Niagara river and tlras raise th Bake Brie level several feet, if nee-sary. He says that there is no danger that thrt power plants at Niagara will consume enough water to materially affect the lake level. TOBACCO GROWN UNDER CLOTH. A Connecticut Experiment hieb I "Wntchetl with Mnrh Interest. Northampton Letter in SpringfielJ Republican. Hatfield cannot yet say of Its own knowledge whether or not it pays to raise tobacco as an exotic under cloth better thar. It does to develop a hardy but less variable growth in ir.e.re natural conditions. There have been about two acres of Havana seed tobacco raised under cloth in Hatfield this year. Rut it is not yet fully harvested, and the market value depends quite as much upon the success gained in preparing the leaf for th.e market as in raisins it. It is sul that R. Id. Warner has an elTer eif .") cents a pound in bul. A high market price for tobacco bought in the field, to be tie live red in the bundle, has been 2') cents a pound, and the discussion In Hatfield concerning- tent tobiceo is just now based o:i this amount of diffcrev.vV in price. It seems to be the general opinion that the higher price will meet the extra cost anil leave a moderate profit, provided the greater difficulties of preparing this tobacco for market are successfully met. Tobacco raised under cloth is not harvestcd by cutting the stalk. It grows to a greater height anei develops from half a dozen to a dozen more leaves than outside tobacco. The field is harvested three or four times, the lower leaves being taken each time. The curin.i of the leaves separated from the stalk requires a more careful and more expensive process. When it is known - how w t.ll this can ho managed and at what cost, and whether thre will be a stili greater difference in price than above mentioned, then Hatfield will have made a definite contribution to the newidea of tobacco culture. At present thraising of tobacco under cloth appears iu the light ot raising blooded stocw. There is probably money in it for those who havo the means and the skill to properly condue t an enterprise of the kind, but there Is risk of heavy loss, which people of more moderate means cannot afford to tak". The final triumph of forced tobacco raising (if it succeeds) will bo the raising of Sumatra seed-leaf. There is only one man in this section who has ventured upon a practical demonstration of this more intricate phase tif the problem. He Is Lemuel F. Graves, of Bast Whately. who has threequarters of an acre of Sumatra tobacco under deth. His crop promisee good results. A party of Hatfield growers recently visited by invitation the tents of Ariel MitchclIon, at Tariffville, Conn. Judging by the size of the venture at that place ami other Connecticut town, Connecticut growe rs seem to consider that the profitable growing of tobacco under cloth is established bcond doubt. The word "tent" hardly gives a fair impression of the scene afforded by the extensive operations of Mr. Mitchcllson. The tents of any one of the numerous "largest shows on earth" wouid hardly bo considered a mammoth display compared to n tent nine ncres in extent. Mr. Mitchcllson has two complete Incisures of this area formed bv covering a framework at the top and sides with 4.". cm yards of e-lwese td'dh. Tho frame consists ef posts of the required height, connected ,-tt the top with strips of wooti to which the t hcesecloth is nailed. The plants are eile t ivel v protected from ins cts. but there might arise the mischance of damage to tho tf nt by hail or the transportation of a fe wthousand square yards of cheesecloth into the next county by sportive winds. It may be fairly assumed that It was wiui toe intense reeling ot interest or a boy at a circus that the substantial citizens of Hatfield entered tin big tents at Tariff ville t view the experiment which might indicate the posibility for them and their feliow-tow nsmen to gain thousands of dollars in increased profits everv year. Tliev saw two nine-acre tracts of perfect tobacco, e very plant extending nine fort in height to the top or the tent, anil bearing tine-veined leaves willi a remarkable proportion of wrapping surface. The Hatfield mn rann hom.'' thoughtful. rappers are the product which the Connecticut valley grower aims to secure. If he raises anything else it is because he lias hitherto known of no way to produce a plant that bears good wrapper leaves exclusively, anel leaves that will cut up like a well-selected piece of dry goeds without waste. But the Connecticut growers say that ! per cent, of the Su matra leaves under cloth are wrapper leaves, and there is an extremely small amount of waste In the individual leaf. They evidently have faith in their crop, be cause some of them have refused Jl.ao a pound, in view of the fact that the duty alone on Sumatra seed-leaf is about Jl.sG.

A Good Drnmetlftt Gone. Springfield Republican. Tho death of I.orlmer Stoddard, dramatist, which occurred at Sag Hurbor, L. L, Saturday afternoon, is to be lamented iri the Interest of the stage, for which he had done work of dignitj as well as excellent acting merit. The son of two pod. Richard Henry Stoddard and Elizabeth Barstow Stoddard, ho grew up In the very atmosphere of literature and culture in New York's best clrcle, for the Stoddard have had to friend t tie bed writers anl artists and actors of the country, it was natural that their son should write, and choosing to write flays, be apprenticed himself to th" business of the stajre, nnd became a good actor; there are many wh will remember ids part of Lord Arthur in "The Henrietta." when Re.bson an! Crane brought out the play a dozen years ago. His best achievement as dramatist waj "Tess t.f the D'FrbervllW for Mrs. Flske. which is a remarkably stronc, well nrrana.'d and composed, and effective frag cdy. The rlay of "The Emperor Napoleon," which Richard Mansfield produce was naturally rather a scepicnee of striking scenes than a self-developing play, but It had great merit; and the tableaux; of Crawford's "Jn the palace of the King' were brilliantly successful. He was at work upon another drama when his lat sickness came on, and this must ever remain unfinished. It is worth while to note the distinctive personal strength of tb young man's work; be owed a heritage of intellectual life to parents of the mo.-t jnärke d originality, yet the direction eif its expression and Its character were wholly individual. He had impressed himself on all who knew him, on the stage and off, by fine personal epialitbs. as well as by the promise of his life. His death was due to tuberculosis of the throat, which had been in progress for nearly a year. American Canned Fruit Ahmad, United States Consul at Gera. Germany.
