SUvcr 3Tass Sleeting in Chicago.
Constantinople, December 13. A
report prevailed last night that a great
battle had been fooght between Metch
chkaand Rustchuk; result unknown.
Official reports from Turkish headquar
ters only mention an affair with six
Russian battalion3.
The f all of rievna is still unknown
to the Turks generally, so it is impossi
ble to estimate its effect on the popula
tion. News of the fall of rievna has been
received with calmness and fortitude.
The journals urge resistance to the
last.
Vienna, December 13. A Buchar
est dispatch says in Russia official cir
cles it is not thought likely that either
Turkey or any other power in her be
half will propose peace negotiations.
Paris, December 13. The followinj
cabinet has been formed and will ap
pear in the official journal to-morrow:
1L Dufaure, president of the council
and minister of justice; M. Demarcre
interior; M. Waddington, foreign af
fairs; M. Bordeaux, public instruction;
General Borel, war; Admiral Pothuau,
marine; M. Leon Say, finance; M. Lis
sereno de Bort, commerce ; II. De Frey
cinet, public works. .
IJircnAREST, December 13. Accord
ing to official returns the Russian loss
es in fighting preceding the surrender
of rievna, were 10 officers and 132 men
killed, and 45 officers. and 1,207 men
wounded. The Turks lost 4,000 killed
and wounded and the prisoners include
10 Pashas, 123 staff officers 2,000 offi
cers, 30,000 infantry and 1,200 cavalry.
- Seventy-seven cannon were also cap
tured. The first batch of prisoners,
numbering 10,000, have already started
for Bucharest.
Chicago. December 13. In pursu
ance of a call for a meeting to take ac
tion on the silver question now pend
ing before congress, some five thousand
representative men assembled in the
tabernacle to-night, listened to speach
es and adapted resolutions which were
preceded by a brief preamble.
They declare first, that demonetiza
tion of silver was a vital and radical
change in our monetary system affect
ing rights of all people especially debt
ors, and condemn it as a hasty, covert
and ill advised scheme, strongly re
probate the adherence to the fraud
while business calamity and general
prostration rule the day.
Second, that demonetization was ac
complished through concealment, de
ception and fraud, and that the people
generally knew nothing of it, and
whether congressmen and the presi
dent knew its import or not it does not
represent the people.
Third, the value of public bonds and
public burdens have been simultane
ously increased. The bonds are prop
erly redeemable in silver and it is ille
gal, unjust and wicked to clandestinely
despot the people and increase both
public and private taxe3.
Fourth, regarding the president of
undoubted integrity and patriotism
yet he has been misguided ' by bad
counsels and his message shows no
genuine word of comfort for the strug
gling masses, and hi3 suggestion that
yielding to bondholders will enable us
to refund tho debt at lower rates is a
delusion.
Fifth, the government cannot, with
due regard to rights of the people,
waive its option to pay In gold or sil
ver and restrict itself to payment in
gold alone, and the consequences of
this nefarious scheme are so far reach
ing and disastrous that it calls for un
measured denunciation.
SLxt making silver legal tender for
small debts, but not for bonds is the
worst kind of partial legislation. "We
pledge ourselves to vote for no man for
congress not fully committed in favor
of silver becoming full legal tender for
every debt.
Seventh, cills upon both houses to
insist upon remonetization, and if the
president vetoes it to append a clause
to the general appropriation bill re
pealing the demonetization act and
stand by it with full confidence of pop
ular support.
Eighth, recomends meetings about
the country similar " to thi3 to .urge
prompt action in "Washington.
Among the speakers were "Wm.
Bros?, Emery Storrs, Judge Booth, E.
C. Lamed and Leonard Swett.
Facts for the rublic.
The National Bee-keepers Conven
tion, in session at New York, Oct. 1G
to 10th. 1877, aware of the general lack
of information concerning improved
methods of apiculture and its products,
respectfully submit the following
statement of facts for general infor
mation concerning a large source of
personal and national revenue in pro
serving the honey which Godha3 caus
ed to ilow so abundantly in the vast
and varied flora of our country:
1. It is now only a few years since
the invention of movable comb Mas
lias opened up a new era in bee-keeping,
and placed it on the basis of a suc
cessful business pursuit. Such hives,
adapted to climate, furnish every facil
ity for intelligent management of bees
by regulating swarming, guarding
against moths, and manipulating both
bees and comb.
2. The inventors of the extractor
or iKtfjey slinger, a machine which cm
tien the honey from the combs by cen
trifugal force, without injury, so that
the tombs may be returned to the bees
rnirka another great step in apiculture,
lb w virgin honey, freo from foreign
.!:i'':ir"J is obtained, having tho fl.v
vy i ,h" fiVwz iwn which it i
3. The further invention of artifi
cial comb foundation, made of pure
wax,' first successfully used to a largo
extent thi3 season, completes the requi
sites for placing bee-keeping on the ba
sis of a great industry in our country
Bees receive this artificial comb foun
dation with readiness a3 receptacles
both for honey and brood.
4. Simultaneous with the first and
all of these improvements, the intro
duction of Italian bees and improved
modes of rearing queens, of transport
ins and introducing them to colonies,
has greatly improved the value of the
honey gatherers, both because of tho
superiority of the Italian bee and the
introduction of new blood. New blood
nrevents the danjrer from in-and-in
breeding.
5. Tho creat drawback to apicul-
culture is the stinj of the bee. Danger
from this source is now largly over
come by the simple appliances used for
tho protection of the person and for
subduing tho bees. The most vicious
colony may be subdued in a very few
minutes.
6. To consumers of honey, a few
facts are necessary in this article to
preserve them from imposition. Nice
white comb speaks for itself and is
generally admired, but the price many
lovers of honey cannot afford. It makes
a beautiful dish for the table but i3 no
better than extracted honey. All Qpmb
is wax, and wax in the stomach is per
fectly indigestible. Extracted honey
is the pure liquid honev as it i3 taken
from the combs by the honey slinger,
free from any foreign admixture. It
is entirely different from what is known
in this market a3 strained honey. Con
sumers help to impose upon them
selves by the false idea that pure hon
ey will not granulate. They desire un
granulated honey and dealers will at
tempt to supply the demand. Almost
all pure honey will granulate when ex
posed for some t'nie to light and cold.
The granulated stat9 is a fine evidence
of pure honey. Much of the jar honey
heretofore sold in the markets, and
recommended not to granulate, is a
very inferior article, composed largely
of glucose or some inferior substance.
Granulated honey can be reduced to its
liquid state in a few moments byplace
ing the jar in warm water. "When
thus liquified it so remains for some
time before again crystalizing. Con
sumers may be sure of a good whole
some article by purchasing granulated
honey and reducing it.
7. To producers. By full use of
improvements in bee-keeping, the hon
ey crop of America may be almost in
definitely increased and become a creat
source of national revenue. None need
fear over production. The home de
mand and consumption is largely in
creased whenever people learn to know
the superiority of such honey. Deal
ers in N. Y. have already commenced
a large export trade, aud they tell us
that their only difficulty is in procur
ing honey in proper shape and quanti
ty to supply the demand. Trade de
mands that they bs put up in nice, at
tractive packages, and in small parcels
or jars so as to be readily handled by
grocers and consumers. Ilonev was
for centuries the principal sweet known
and is one of the most healthful of all.
Improvement in refining sugars has
within the last two or three centuries
led to its general adoption. "Why may
not also new improvements in apicul
ture restore it to its true place as a
general favorite which was lost by bad
management and the consequent cor
responding limited supply?
"We believo that improvements in
bee-keeping as compared with old mer
thods are not less than those seen in
railroads and steamboats as compared
with former modes of travel.
For mutual information wo would
advise the organization of local socie
ties and conventions to further this
business among all interested in api
culture. J. II. Nellis, Tres.
