a W. METSKER, Pub. and Prop. PLYKOUTH, INDIANA. CURRENT TOPICS 0 UK A Ii MO VHS TOWARD INDIA. Ever since the breaking out of the Transvaal war there have been indications that Russia was preparing to move on Herat, and a St. Petersburg cablegram announces the first step in that direction. Nov. 20 Ivan Ivanoitch cabled the Chicago Record, via Paris. Nov. 23. as follows: -The czar returned to Czarskoie Solo palace from Skicrcwicz last week and immediately summoned an extraordinary council of Iiis, ministers under his own presidency. This council was held Saturday, and by far the most significant and startling matter that came before it was the report of the minister of war. Gen. Kor.ropatkine. on the demonstrative movement on the Indian frontiers. This report is said to have been a very elaborate one. giving not only a full account of the general situation, but also a statement in minutest detail. I have it on the best possible authority that the report concluded with the following categorical statement: 'The troops of your majesty are not only ready to make a threatening diveision. but can seriously injure the English interests and pDwer. Revolts may break out among the natives and in the countries lying south of Herat.' " Again on Nov. 2S he wrote: "In the domain of high politics Russia's horizon is blackly overcast. It cannot be doubted that the statesmen of St. Petersburg not only foresee war, but actually desire it; for in the fatal results of the stupid campaign in South Africa, in the rabid animosity of France toward England, in the disposition of the negus of Abyssinia to carve out for himself a section of the Egyptian Sudan, and in the desire of the ameer of Afghanistan to effect a defensive alliance with Russia, it is impossible not to see a grand opportunity for mobilizing all the national forces to which the aggrandizement of the British empire is obnoxious." JUSTICE FOR CP CAN PRISONERS. One of the most praiseworthy aspects of Gen. Wood's characteristic activity as governor of Cuba is his prompt investigation of the prisons. Two days ago he set free forty prisoners in the province of Santa Clara some of whom had been detained for years without a trial. The prisons of Cuba under Spanish nil? were an abomination, and the Spanish method of keeping men for months and years without a trial was one of the blackest spots on Spain's record. It is high time the last of tlrse crises should be boked into and rectified. Gen. Wood may be trusted to discriminate between real criminals and persons thrown into prison on flimsy pretexts. He may also he trusted to see that all prisoners have the right of prompt trial, By the time he gets through with the Cuban prisons and courts they will show as great an improvement as did the sanitary conditions of Santiago. Chicago Tribune. REFORMING THE DICTIONARY. Following the lead of Supi. Andrews of the Chicago schools the congregation cf the University of Chieago has adopted the following resolution: "Resolved. That the adoption by the board cf the University Tress for use in the official publications and journals of the university of the iiist of words with changed spelling accepted by the National Educational association be aporcved." The list of words thus "re:crmtd" is as fellows: Program (prorammo); tho (though): aiiho ( although): thorofare (thoroughfare); thru (through); thruout (throughout); catalog (catalogue); prok:g (prologue); decalng (dialogue); demagog (demagogue); pedagog (pedagogue). REPORT U ADVERSE TO QUAY. The senate committee on privileges and elections has finally decided by a vote of 4 to ?. to make an adverse report upon ihe resolution to seat Senator Quay. The resolution was as follows: "Rescued. That Matthew S. Quay b.-i admitted as senator from the stato of Pennsylvania, in accordance with his appointment, made on April 21), Uyj, by the governor of said state." The members o? the committee voting for the resolution were Senators Ciu-neiier, Hoar and McComas, and those .ppr::i:.g Senators Rurrows, Caffe-y. Pcttus and Hani-. Senators Turley and Piitehard were paired, the latter f.or, the former against, the resolution. This practically ends the matter, unless a minority report is received. JONES WILE NOT RETIRE. The p?rsstent rumors sent out from Washington to the effect that Senator Jones would soon give up the chairmanship of the democratic national committee seem to be without any foundation whatsoever. It is known that the senator is the choice of nearly three-fourths of the present committee. To a Washington correspondent he said: "No. I am not going to retire from the chairmanship. I am in excellent health, having matters pretty well in hand for the national convention." INVESTIGATING CLARK CASE. Tho senate committee on privileges and elections has begun its investigation of the charges of bribery made in connection with the election of Senator Clark of .Montana. The proceedings wen? begun by arguments from counsel on Loth sides. Mr. Clark himself Is present, with his counsel, former Senator Faulkner. Senator Edmunds represants the contestants, while ex-Senatcr Faulkner appears for Mr. Clark.
