It keeps some of the “late U. S. chemists” busy, it would jaeem, writing analyses for baking powders. Col. George K. Davis, of Chicago, has been elected Direotor General of •the WflMd’s Fair . Mr. Davis has a very hard job on his hands. It is part of the eternal fitness of tilings that Chicago should have a •moke inspector. It is one of the best points in the known world to inspect smoke. The announcement from Europe that the triple ailianee is to be extended to 1897 indicates that Germany has not been able to come to any agreement with Russiaon the burning issues of Old World politics. The recent confiab of the Kaiser and Czar has accomplished nothing, therefore, beyond demonstrating that the latter wishes to keep his hands free, and to be governed in his action by developments as they arise. Whether this • means that Russia and France have a secret understanding or not can not he determined by the public; but it is tolererably clear that Russia is convinced that its interests are not altogether in harmony with those of Germany, Italy and Austria.

The Prince of Wales has not been in luck this year at the races. At -Goodwood he lost very heavily, SO heavily that it is said he found it difficult to negotiate a satisfactory arrangement to cover the losses with one of the fashionable Jewish family of Sassoons whom Mrs. Arthur Wilson innocently and ignorantly invited to her Doncaster party, and who, from being in high favor with the Prince, has now fallen under the shadow of royal displeasure. Lord Randolph Churchill, on the contrary, has been very fortunate at Doncaster. His horse l’Abbesse de Jouarre won, and Lord Randolph is understock to have taken out during all the season s ome £14,000. --■ 1^.1.. The new military law of France has considerably increased her fighting material. According to the figures of the War Minister recently published, the French army on a war footing •umbers 4,500,000 trained soldiers. The German army is now numerically inferior to that of France; and the French say that, although the German population is considerably greater than that of Frhnce, the male population of the two countries is about the same, in other words, the emigration from Germany has left an excess of female population at home, and has drained off an immense number of fighting men This state of affairs is probably the real cause of the pacific protestations of the young Emperor and of the cessation of war cries in the German press. And Crispi, too, is beginning to be more civil than he used to be. The is, the armies of Russ a and France are amply able to make the triple alliance behave itself.

The Rev. R. M. Pullman, a noted Universaliat preacher, and brother o£ the palace-, car manufacturer, has accepted the Republican nomination for Congress in the Third Maryland district. In defense of his action he says: Some people have expressed surprise that I, as a Christian minister, accepted the nomination for Congress, Shut I feel that the best American •politics is religion in harness, and when I accept the nomination I put harness on my religion. In the political field I am simply carrying c» t what, as a Christian minister. I have always preached. Ido not feel thr 11 have stepped down from the pulpit in any possible sense, but that I h ve .stepped from theory to practice. 1 bellieve that high, and patriotic, and •moral sentiments are needed to elevate .politics from the degradation ipto t which it has fallen through selfish and 'designing men who seek pe sonal preferment rather than their country’s, good, and that one of the saddest conditions of our Amesic&n life is that so .many people, dijgusted with polities, have refused to engage in an l early and noble way in the government of their country. ■ T~" Wi" I .:* "" t Veal Salad.—Boil a knuckle of veal •in six quarts of water, when tender re .move the bones, chop the meat and acM •the juice, which should be mostly ab sorbed, and two cups o*f cracka Vcnirabs, cinnamon,-pepper and salt; pu in a mold.

THAT IRISH TRIAL.

Much Disorder—Startling Testimony—One of the Attorneys Ruled Out. The hearing in the dase of tho government against Dillon and O’Brien and the other Nationalists who were arrested on the charge of conspiracy, was continued in the magistrate’s court at Tipperary Friday. In the course of the proceedings a question arose as to the time the trials should occupy, and Mr. Ronan, the prosecutor for the crown, declared he was entirely ignorant*Of the time it would take to present the case for the government or for the accused to make their defense, Mr. Healy, of counsel for the defendants, said he was in mortal fear lest the trials, would last for six months. Mr. Healy’s remarks excited the laugh ter of those present at the hearing. ’ Much excitement was occasioned in the courtroom by the evidence of one of the witnesses, a policeman, who testified that he had followed several of the defendants into the vestry of the Catholic church and tried to overhearwhat wassaid. This testimony aroused the indignation of counsel for defense, and be demanded to know if the penal days had returned when the sanctity of tho confessional could be invaded. The court room became a babel of cries, and the confusion was so great that it was impossible to go on with the proceedings. The court was therefore declared adjourned for half an hour. When the court re-opened the policeman witness was cross-examined by Mr. Harrington, who called the witness a “shad, or” The magistrate called upon Mr Harrington to withdraw the expression. Mr, Harrington refused to do so and wa9 ordered to leave the case. An uproar ensued, Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien commenting freely upon the manner in which the case was conducted. Finally another half hour adjournment was ordered. Durng the adjournment Mr. Harrington’s clients decided to defend themselves. When the proceedings were resumed Mr. Dillon had just begun to address the bench when a cheer was raised for Mr. Harrington. This so exasperated the magistrate that he ordered the court cleared, and the proceedings were adjourned abruptly amid the greatest confusion. A large body of police was massed outside the court. There was no rioting.

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.

Home Postmaster Wheat Will Have to Resign— His Son’s Illegal Conduct. A special to the Indianapolis Journal of the 30th says: Your correspondent has refrained from making any comments on the investigation of Postmaster Wheat, of the House of Representatives, as he has heretofore borne the very highest character among multitudes of friends in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin-.- It appears, however, that he has been guilty of somepractices which none of his friends can defend, and he must resign his office at , once or he will be turned out with a vote of ! censure from the House of Representas • tives. The case, in short, is this: Captain I Wheat made a contract with a man by the iname of Culbertson to deliver the mails of ;the House of Representatives for $5,000 a year, which is the limit of the appropriation by Congress * for "this: purpose. Culbertson bid the ful amount, and thon repaid to Wheat, not as a rebate, to be returned to the treasury, hu as a gift to him personally, the sum of SI,SOO or $l5O a month. Wheat accepted the money for.several months, and then, the arrangement being discovered by some of his enimies, he made an attempt to renew it through a third party named Fisher. In the second place, Walter Wheat, the postmaster’s son,-has* drawn two salaries from the government, and has paid sums like $5 and $lO a month to a “dummy,” who signed the pay-roll for him. This act brings the young man within the jurisdiction of the criminal courts and makes him liable for a journey to the peni - tentiary, but it is hot probable he will be prosecuted. The mildest form of criticism possible would be to say that Captain Wheat has made a dreadful fool of himself:

AGAINST THE K, OF L.

The following circular has been issued from the office of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad: “The recent strike, the acts of lawlessness committed in connection therewith, the published correspondence between the leaders of the organization that ordered it, and tbe fact that many men now seeking employment state that they quit work from fear of personal violence, and did not dare resume work for the same reason, compel the management of this company to anannounce that it objects to its employes being members of the organization known as the ‘Knights of Labor.’ “The management is satisfied that membership in this particular organization is inconsistent with faithful and efficient ser vice to the company, arid is likely at any time to prevent it from properly dischargng its duties to the public. You will at once take such action as will bring this circular to the attention of the employes n your respective departments.”

HOT TIMES IN GUTHRIE.

An Attempt Made by Excited People to Hang a Representative; j THurAday was a day of extreme excitement in the legislature at Guthrie, I. T., he occasion being the consideration of toe bill for the permanent location of the territoriol capital. The Lower House yesterday passed the bill locating toe capital at Oklahoma City. Before action had been taken on the bill in the Upper A motion in the Dower House to the action of yesterday was adopted. The friends of the measure, however, prevailed! upon Speaker Daniels to sign the bill after the vote on reconsideration, and Representative Perry, Who had quietly himself of the bill, was hurrying over to the chamber of the Upper House, to obtain, the signature of the presiding officer of that body. The vigilant enemies of the measure observed the move and the legislative body became a howling, mob. The spectators joined the members On the floor and an attack was made upon Speaker Daniels and it wa ß * demanded of him, in a peremptory manner, that he sees to it that the bill be returned to the clerk. Daniels referred the crowd to Perry, who was just about to escape from the hall and who, in the meantime, had handed the hill to Representative Nesbitt. Perry ran into the street with the mob at his heels. He was quickly caught. Someone cried “hang him.” The cry was taken up and became general. The crowd was in earnest. Perry begged for mercy and turned his pockets out. “Nesbitt has the bill,” he cried. Nesbitt was in the crowd and a rush was made for him. Perry, with his inside out pockets flapping in the breeze, joined in the chase. Nessbitt kept ahead of the mob for four blocks. Then his strength failed him and he surrendered. He was marched back to the representative hall where he was compelled to deposit the bill on tho Clerk’s desk. Speaker Daniels took the bill, and, accompanied by W. H. Thompson of the News as a witness, repaired to the governor’s mansion, where, in the presence of the governor, he erased his name, saying: “I signed this bill under a misapprehension,” luthe meantime CaDt. Kavanaugh, post commander, and U. S. Marshall Grimes appeared in representative hall and calmed the excited crowd, which still demanded the punishment of Perry and Nesbitt. Dispatches from Guthrie, Friday, say: The excitement over the capital location con tinued on the 3d. After the demonstration against Messrs. Daniels, Perry and Nesbitt, Tuesday evening, had subsided, S. R. Mitchell, city attorney of Oklahoma City; who chanced to be In town sent this telegram to one of his friends at home: “Your Representatives were mobbed on the street to-day. Send one hundred armed men.” The armed men arrived on the first train Thursday morning and were among the first to secure seats of vantage in the hall ! of the lower house before that body met in its regular session. Fully twice as many friends of the Guthrie measure, equally strongly armed, were also present. Their presence caused intense feeling, and it would have taken but the slightest outbreak to have caused serious trouble* Speaker Daniels was too ill, suffering from nervous exhaustion, caused hy toe exciting scene of which he was the center, Wednesday, to preside over the session. , As soon as the House was called to order Representative Terrell * introduced a resolution, calling attention to the presence of armed men in the chamber declaring their presence to he undesirable, and directing toe Sergeantsat-arms to eject all spectators, newspaper men excepted. The resolution was voted down—2o to 50. Consid* erihg a probability of a repetition of the riotous scenes of the 3d it was deemed advisable to postpone further action on toflUapitol question. A.reporter called to see Speaker Daniels. He was utterly prostrated, and consented to an interview against his physician’s advice. He said, in substance: “I have stood by Oklahoma City as long as I think 1 can. I signed that bill under a misapprehension and I have so informed the Governor.” The Speaker was very weak, but he sum* mctned up strength sufficient to write a communication to the House stating toe facts in his interview. He also framed a resolution providing for the recall of toe bill from the Senate. When this resolution is presented a lively time is expected. The Oklahoma City force is still on toe ground; and its motto Is, “Fair play fqr Oklahoma City.” The Guthrie force is determined that its city shall also have fair play, and unless both agree as to what constitutes fair play, trouble will doubtless ensue.

MARYLAND'S SUFFRAGE LAW.

No One Can Note Who Leaves the State for Six Months Before Election. There is a curious situation in Maryland. The Legislature of the State recently passed a registration law which disfran* otaises a large portion of her population, as it provides that no man shall be a legal resident unless he sleeps within the limits of the State every night for six months before the November election. Therefore, a citizen of Marylaud, no matter what the reason may be for his temporary departure or how short his absence, if he makes his abode and habitation for a single night outside of the State, is in danger of losing his right of suffrage, unless within thirty days after thh passage of the act, which was approved in April last, be make afllv davit in person before the Clerk of the Circuit Court that he was compelled to absent bimseH from his regular residence, and intended to return. By this act Maryland has'deprived cf the right) of suffrage all her sons who .travel outside .the limits of the State between May and November; All who go to summer resorts; all who sleep one night in New York, Philadelphia or Washington; all her soldiers and sails ors; all her appointees in the foreign service of the federal government, and hei Senators and Representatives, as well-
