The Condition or Affair in Russia Found
to i:o Very Bad.
Col. J. B. Weber, superintendent of Im
migration, who left New York July 8 to In
vestigate the Industrial and social condi
tion or the European countries, notably
Busaia, has returned. In an Interview he
e.tld: "As for the Russians and their laws,
they nre the worst I ever saw. What with
arrogant police lav, uujiist and high
handed o.xcrcisc of power and general
wretchedness of the people, the country is
in a dreadful i-tatc. We .were five days at
St. Petersburg, delayed there awaiting an
audience with the minister of the Interior.
Wo had finally to leave without meeting
him. Every other day In Kusla our pass
port was handled, until it became actually
Ijlthy. Wlille at St. Teterabutg we were
summoned before the wllce, but finally
convinced them we weie not spies. We
found the conditions that affect immigra
tion so grave and peculiar in character that
we do not feel warranted r:i speaking of
them except In the form of an official re
port accompanied by corroborative evi
dence. If I could tell you what we aw in
Russia, It would not be believed.
Enemies oftlto Human Itaco.
Before Judge Riddle, at Philadelphia, a
hearing was had on the habeas corpus case
In the Interest of Julius Mo-,kewit7. Isidore
Brenner ami Jlorrls GilIK Ru-sian Jews,

cendiary speeches ami inciting to riot.
Officers testified as to thur utterances at
the meeting when they advised their hear
ers not to believe iu God, not to fear the
police, and condemned the president of the
United States and said he ought to be
killed. Judge Riddle dechir-M tha he had
no doubt that the preaching of their doc
trines was sediliou-. The-e foreigners
came to this country voluntarily, and the
first thing they did was to attack unr insti
tutions. They were enemies to the human
race. He held all for trial.
Taken Suddenly ill.
Nearly 10Q delegates t the W. C. T. O.
Pennsylvania state convention v. ere poi

It Sobered the KaUer.
A Berlin dispatch says that the Tirtual
rejection by the- bundesratli of the kaiser's
bill for the suppr siou of drunkenness has
(tat Uit. a sobering effect on tha kalMr,
1 la-Jt-eiicciy srt;ie ia MMaaral
tans. The members of the bnndesrath
treated the proposition in a summary fash
ion that showed but Httlo respect for its
imperial orlglni and indirectly indicate Its
wish that the federal legislation should bo
Confined to subjects of federal importance
and interest. One reason for this feeling,
undoubtedly, Is that the social reform
measures adopted at an earlier period in
the kaiser's reign are not showing satisfac
tory results, and there is a general disposi
tion among' the states of the empire not to
undertake any more tentative scheme ot
social improvement until the imperial
beard is better grown.
HIGH ROLLING WAVES.
Atlantto Hteamer Kxperlence High
Winds and itbugh Sea.
This season on account of the numerous
Cyclones, life afloat on the Atlantic has
been attended with peril nnd much physi
cal discomfort. The August Victoria has
arrived several days late, and its officers
report that from October 4 to 9 It experi
enced heavy westerly gales with a tremen
dously high sea; The steamer sustained
no great damaget but several passengers
wero thrown down and a number of them
had their arms or legs broken. Eight or
more were severely cut about tho bead
The Umbrla, just arrived, also reported bad
weather. Tho steamer sustained no dam
age, but a few of the passengers wero in
jured. During the greater part of the trip
of the Augusta Victoria not & passenger
was allowed on the deck. During the whole
voyage the commander never slept, lie
was on the bridge day and night, and It was
the unanimous verdict of all on board that
to his wonderful seamanship and skill iu
handling the great vessel was due the
safety of the ship and the passengers. Dur
ing four days tho decks were under water
most of the time. The seas were like moun
tains and the big vessel pitched and plunged
violently with every shock.
KtEP UP THE ROW.
Timothy I'ealy Promise Sensational
Disclosures U the Parnellitea Do Not
Subside
A convention ot the Iri.h National Fede
ration was held at Cavan, Ireland. Nu
merous priests were among tho delegates.
Timothy llcaly presided, and in an address
said the members of the Irish national
party were not concerned With eulogiesover
the dead, but the interests of tho living.
Let the dead past bitty its dead. Ho hoped
the dissensions would be interred In Par
nell's grave. A note for renewed war came
from the minority but not from them. Ire
land lias given tho minority no mandate to
perpetuate the feud. Thir position was
degrading. If the letters and repeated
declarations of Redmond and Uarrington
were published he promised such an ex
posure as probably had never been known
in regard to public men and the people of
Ireland. He could forgive Parnell, but
these men, pretending to bo his political
heirs, were acting solely in the Interests of
Dublin castle nnd the Orange lodges.
A CONFIDENCE GAME.
Adams Express Company Officials De
posed Surrounded by Scandal.
John Hoey, president of the Adams Ex
press company, was deprived of his position
as president and trustee by the unanimous
vote of tho full board of managers. Hoey
is charged with malfeasance In office.
Clapp Spooncr. vice president of the com
pany, tendered his resignation and it was
accepted The trouble which overtook
Hoey was foreshadowed last spring in a
suit brought by Henry C. Sherburne against
him. Clapp Spooncr and Edward A. Taft
were co-defendants. Action was brought
to recover S300.0C0. At that time Hoey ad
mitted under oath to being party to a
transaction by which a syndicate of three
men sold property which cost them S15O,O0O
to W. S. Dinsmorc, then president of tho
Adams Express company. For this they
received from Dinsniore, and Dlusmoro
afterward received from the Adams Ex
press company, 5S50.000. For this property
Hoey had not paid a cent, but ho accepted
a quarter of the profit they made, which
profit amounted to tj'720.000.
NEGOTIATIONS WiTU GERMANY.
Reciprocity Plans Nearlug Completion
With the I'atherland.
The report that a convention had been
caucluded with Germany, by which the
cereal pioducls of the United States arc to
be admitted free of duty, etc., is not true.
Negotiations have for some time been in
piogress between the two governments
with a view on the part of Germany to
secure the continued free admission o
sugar Into this" country in return for cer
tain concessions iu customs duty to bo ex
tended by Germany to Ameiican products
of various descriptions. These negotiations
arc still in an incomplete stage of progress,
with good prospects of being brought to a
satisfactory conclusion before the 1st of
next January.
i5lIerton Docs It Again.
Twenty-five .thousand pcophiwitnessed

The Supreme Court.
Three justices of the United States
supreme court were absent on account of
sickness when the October term was called.
The only business transacted was the ad
mission of applicants to practice before tho
court and tho announcement that the most
important cases are postponed until the
second Monday in November. The cases

of the term on record.
A Spirit or Revolt rn Russia.
A con-piracy against the czar's life was
discovered in Kiefl", Russia. A printing
press used in the publication of seditious
matter has been seized, and there is a -eil-ous
outbreak among the students of the

revolutionary speeches. Although many
have been arrested, the spirit of revolt is
still spreading.
Sixteen Lynchers Arrested.
A warrant has been issued by the county
attorney for the arrest of G. F. Morearlty,

BUSINESS GOOD.
Dnn & Co. Report improvement lit Ail
Parts or the Country.
From all parts of the west and south come
advices that business is gradually improv
ing, and the improvement is felt in eastern
centers, is the report to R. G. Dun & Co.
There is still a most encouraging absence
in any trade of that speculative excitement
and over-confidence which is so often a pre
sage of disaster. Purchases are governed
by unusual conservatism and yet are large
in volume. Failures are rather numerous,
but are In nearly all cases the results of a
long continued commercial strain since the
foreign disasters of last November. It is
true that prices of nearly all manufactured
products aro low, and the margin for profit
very narrow, while the competition Is se
vere. But the volume of trade is larger
than In any previous year, in spite of the
fact that all branches of business are re
tarded. It is also true that collections in
some quarters are slow, but the latest re
ports from various sections are on the whole
more favorable. At Chicago trade thus far
this year exceeds that of all previous years,
sales of clothing and shoes being large, but
of dry goods a little less than a year ago.
The last week's receipts of wheat are four
times last year's, of rye ten times and of
wool double, with increase in beef and
hides, but decrease Iu other articles
A MILLION A DAY.
Statistics or the Export or Breadstatt
From the United States.
Thirty-one million dollars worth of
breadstuffs shipped out of the United States
iu a month. More thau $1,000,000 a day for
thirty days in succession. These figures
were announced by the bureau of statistics.
They aro for the month ot September. In
September, 1S90, tho United States sold to
the rest of the world $7,199,348 worth of
grain and flour. In September, 1891, the
exports reached the unprecedented total of
31,402,021. This was more than four times
the exports for the corresponding month
last year. The Increase in tho exports of
breadstuffs iu August was very notable.
The iucreaso for September is more sur
prising. For the three months of July, Au
gust and September, "1891, this country sold
grain and flour to tho amount of STC,C94,822.
For the corresponding three months of 1890
the exports of grain and flour were 28,654,
227, a little over onethird as great. Down
to September 33 the exports of breadstuffs
for lbOl reached the total of $145,025,1 9.
The figures in detail aro as significant as
the graud totals. The United States sold over
3,000,000 bushels of rye last month, against
just 1G bushels In the whole month of Sep
tember, 1890. Barley, oats, rye, wheat and
wheat flour all show great increases. Corn
and corn meal do not. Tho explanation is
easy. The movement of the corn crop has
not begun. When new corn Is added to tho
exports in proportionate quantity the swell
will be still greater.
NEWSPAPER MEN KILLED
While Riding on a Fast Train's Engine
to Write lp n Midnight Ride,
A 1-orrible accident, resulting in the death
of three members of tho Chicago Jiifer
Occan staff, and the serious injury of sev
eral other passengers, occurred on the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois railroad at Crete,
111. Tho dead are: Leonard Washburn,
.sporting reporter for tho Inter-Ocean; Fred
W. Henry, reporter; J. A. McAfferty, an
artist recently from St. Louis; James Clark,
engineer. At Crete tho train ran into an
open switch. The men killed were on the
engine, Henry and McAfferty having gone
out for tho purpose of writing up and illus
trating the midnight ride on the fast train
and Washburn, who was returning from an
Indiana trip, having joined his friends on
the engine. The accident came without
warning, nnd as tho locomotive plunged
from the track the four men were caught
and completely buried beneath the wreck.
VINDICATED AFTER YEARS.
A Supposed Murderer rinds His Victim
Alive After 1 ourtcen Years.
James A. Brock, formerly of St. Louis,
but now a resident of El Paso, Tex., is the
principal in a sensational occurrence. For
over fourteen years Mr. Brock has labored
under the suspicion of being the murderer
of his cousin, Trank Woosley, who disap
peared in 1877. and has been twice indicted.
Brock alleges that he has been persecuted
nil these years. He felt confident that
Woosley was not dead, but that it was a
conspiracy among tho Woosleys to rob him
of his ranch. He spent a large sum of
money to locate Woosley, nnd he has Just
found him iu Benton, Ark. He says he has
positive evidence that will convict the
Woosley of conspiracy.
Disasters or a Storm In England.
The oldest veteran seamen admit that
they do not remember having seen wusc
weather and heavier seas off the English
coast than have raged for several days.
The channel passenger boats, which ven
ture out in the most severe weather, were
unable to cross. From all sections come re
ports of the damage done and the lives en
dangered. A number of more or less seri
ous accidents have been reported. Iu one
street In Dover, Eug., u stack of brick chim
neys as hurled down with such force that
it smashed In the roof upon which it fell
and buried in the ruins the inmates of the
home, a number of women and children,
who were badly injured by tho crashing
rafters and tile. At Sunderland the hur
ricane unroofed a factory, the tall chimney
of which fell upon a house and seriously in
jured four peoprv. At Wellingborough a
theater was blown down. A large audience
had barely left the building when the
powerful blast swept down and reduced it
to a sl:pclcss pile of lumber and brick.
Had the building fallen a moment sooner a
number of people would have been buried
iu the ruins.
American Meat Exports.
The bureau of statistics announces tbat
in September this year 26,543 head of cattle
were exported, against 44,425 last year.
However, the price this year was $88 per
head, against S74 last year. The total ex
ports of cattle, hogs, beef and hog and dairy
products for September, 1891, were ?9,GS5,338
against 510,795.024 in September, 1890. The
prices were so much better that for 75 per
cent, of September, 1S90, exports in provi
sions this country realized in September,
this year, 90 per cent, of the value of the to
tal exports for September, 1690
Anarchists Want to Got Oat.

Sunshihe and rata warred fiercely and
Unremittingly with each other in Chi
cago td determine which would have thti
mastery when it came to unveil the
Grant statue. And Phoebus won
dazzling Victory, and all the people re
joiced. It would have been a bitter
disappointment had It been ordered
otherwise. The silken cord was gently
palled by the fair hands of tho
daughter of Gen. William E. Strong,
and responsive to her timid action
the white drapery was loosed from the
figure beneath it, fluttered a moment in
the breeze and fell disclosing in all the
majestic calm of a heroic man sculptured
in bronze by a master hand. For a mo
ment admiration held tho mult'.tudo
ftpellbound, incapable of uttering an
exclamat'on. Then, glowing with prido
and patriotism from a hundred
thousand throats went up such a mighty
shout as is rarely heard It was the
apotheosis of their admiration they
wero a llama with enthusiasm.
One minute beforo tho unveiling a
signal gun w.i9 fired to warn the gab
bling, excited and opectant throng that
everything was in readiness for the
ceremony. Slowly the seconds ticked
by and there was a vast hush. Scarcely
a sound was heard savo from the far
distant center of tho city, from wliero
the roar of commerce was plainly audi

let go his wasp- The other man got
the money.
