THE OMAHA DAILY TiEE : SATITRDAY , APKTL 17 , 1807. VOTERS RALLY TO JIOORES Till Bojd's ' Theater and Cheer Every Mention of His Name. OLD SOLDIERS TRUE TO TH-IR COMRADE Noniinrdnnn MeclliiK l tin * Intercut of lluItriitilillonii t'nmlliliito ' J'nii CM to lie n Vcrltnlilo i Io\c I'cnHl. The mass meeting of the old soldiers at Boyd's optrn house lest night brought out a crowded boi-uo and all the enthusiasm for which such gatherings arc remarkable. The meeting was under the auspices ot the Union Veterans' league , and the veterans sounded the battle cry of good government with the Inspiration of 'Cl , H was n campfire with a political pot , but no partisan significance , and with Inspiring reminiscence ot their fighting dart , the speakers mingled ringing appeals for a decent administration ot mu nicipal affairs under the standard ot their old comrade , Frank E. Moores. It was one of the most Interesting meetings ot a political natuto ever held In Omaha. Several of the Bpcaknswere unusually eloquent under the inspiration of the patriotic sentiment that deemed to dominate from the minute the baud ctruck up the first national melody un til the last ringing cheer for Moorcs and good government. The thcttcr was elaborately decorated. A hiigp portrait ot McICInley hung under the prcflct'lililin arch between the draperies ot American flags. Largo flags were draped around the wings and from the boxes. Among them were displayed pictures ot ( Lincoln , Grant , Qarficld , Logan and other heroes ot the rebellion , and In the mlddlf of the front of the stage a huge American caglo perched on a red , white and blue shield emphasized the patriotic effect. THOSE ON THE STAGE. Thu Seventh Ward band played several so. lection ? In front of the opera house , jind by the tlmo the hand occupied the orchestra space the body ot the house was compactly filled. The galleries were also occupiedind fully a hundred prominent republicans iml some who wcro not republicans but refused to support the gamblers' candidate , occupied Ecata on the stage. Among them were : Judge J. N. Cornish , Frank A. Sears , Judge S. I. Gordon , Jonathan Edwards , W. I ) . Whlto- horn. Major J. S. Miller , Dorsey B. Ilouck , W J.

' Major Miller culled the meeting to order nnd Introduced Lee Estcllo ns chairman Mr Estello spoke briefly , directing his remarks loward the faults and Inconsistencies of the new city charter. Ho said that In the first place ho was ready to condemn this charter because It was a product of the- populist party. Ho did not believe that grapes could be gathered from thorns or Jigs from thistles. It was enough to condemn It in the eyes of ony reasonable man that It had been found necessary to rob the ballot box In order to effect Its passage. MOORES' ROYAL RECEPTION. At this point Colonel Frank E. Moores ar rived and was escorted on the stage. Mr. Estcllo was compelled to stop until the tre mendous applause that signalized the up- pcnrnnco of Colonel Moorcs subsided nnd thcn''he concluded with the statement that an old' soldier was to be the next mayor of Omaha. , Ho then Introduced John t. . AVebstcr , who received a flattering greeting. He began by satirizing the democratic party that hail once been an honored organization and an honorable foe , but had now become a tall to the populist kite. Ho declared that when the next election came the people would put Nebraska back In tbo republican column and the ( Statement was received with prolonged applause. Mr. AVebster then proceeded to briefly dis cuss the life of Abraham Lincoln , the subject that had been assigned to him by the com- nilttce. Ho eloquently pictured the hard ships of Lincoln's early life and declared that for all that he had not cried out against the greatness and goodness of his country and become a populist , but had bravely lived on to become the liberator of four million souls. Populism and Abraham Lincoln had nothing In common. Tlio populist party seemed to believe that It was created for the solo purpose of displacing existing Institu tions. SHOWS TWO PICTURES. Coming back to the present Issue , Mr , AVebster reminded his hearers of the scene when Hamlet showed two pictures to hie mother nnd said , "Look on this and then looli on that. " "I want to show you two pic tures tonight , " continued Mr. AVcbster ; "one r of Ed Howell , the other of Colonel Frank E. . Moorcs , nnd ask. you to choose which you will serve. " It was enough , continued the speaker , thai thcro was n populist state government In Nebraska and a legislature that hail voted to legislate men out of ofllco whom the people hail elected. Now they clutched al the government of Omaha , nnd the only wa > to rebuke them was to vote the republican ticket next Tuesday. 'Ho ' closed with an effective appeal to all republicans who had left the party to come S back and assist to redeem their state foi republicanism nnd good government. The band played the "Star Spangled Daii' ncr , " and the chairman. Introduced Dr. 'M ' , 0. Illckctts. Ills subject was "Tho Negro at a Patriot nnd al Voter. " IIo said the hand of avnrlco had snatched the negro from hit native land and held him for 240 years bcfovc a political party had the courage and back' bono to rise up nnd declare that the tiegrc also had n right to sing , "My Country 'Tit of Thee. " It retjulrcd force to cxccuto , this sentiment , and In the conflict none had sliei their blood more loyally than the blacks , .Their patriotism had been proved , not onlj on the fields of the rebellion , but at the bal > lot box when the hand ot proscription was raised against them , Thu negroes bellovei in the sacrcdness of the ballot box , and the ) were against 1M Howell. because ho had gone to iMlrolsslppl and Louisiana and bor rowed their lite-thuds nml transplanted there to the frco soil of Nebraska. NEGROES FOR MOORES. The negroes wcro accused of being fanatical In their allegiance ) to the republican party , but that party had planted every milestone In the progress of this country , nnd It was the only party < that had ever held out a ray of hope to the negro. The negroes wcro for Frank E. Moores If for no other reason because ho wan the nominee of the repub lican party nml because Jie had put a muuket on his shoulder and marched from Bull Run to Appouiattox with the boys. John H. Webster wai the next speaker. Die- declared his satisfaction at being In vited to address a nonpartlsan audience. Ho iwna a nonpartlsan man. Hut when ho came face to face with bis duty ho was always compelled to vote tlio republican ticket , That was not becnuto ho was a partisan , but because tha republican party always had the right ticket. Ho related his recollection of war times when at the big mass meetings democrats and republicans stood eldo by side J on the platform and urged all to unite to preserve the union. Sldo by aide they had endured , the tedium of the camp and sldo by slJu they had charged througU the smoke of battle. Sldo by sldo their blood hail trickled to redden the water ot the brook , and sldo by sldo tlielr bodies were laid to rest. Again a blow had been alined at the nation's honor , ml not as partisans but as American cltl- tens democrats and republicans had rallied under the banner ot McKlnley and had saved the financial Integrity of the nation. He declared that the same democrats that had marched under the banners of Lincoln and SlcICInley were now under the banner of Frank K. Moorei , Mr , Webster denounced the action of How- fit anil hi * associate * at Lincoln In a uiauucr that roused the audience to continual en thusiasm. He said that boodle was powerful , combinations for spoils were powerful , but the aroused moral sentiment of Omaha was mightier still and when Ihe sun went down next Tuesday evening It would merge In a pean of victory. J. E. Kyner made a typical campfire speech. Ho related a number of humorous army experiences In a manner that kept the audience In a happy mood and concluded with a more erlous view of the hardships endured by the veterans. Onlj' the "boys" ot ' 61 were left. The older men who had fought In the ranks had gone to their green tents on the hillside. Now another bugle * call had sounded and the bo > s who were fol lowing Frank K. Moorcs In this fight would raise the same glad shout of victory. Judge Jacob Fawcctt was Introduced to discuss "Tho Matter In Hand. " In this In stance ho considered the meaning of hl.s sub ject to bo what was for the best Interests of Omaha. That was the election ot Frank E. Stoores am\ the entire republican ticket. He paid a high tribute to the personal character of Mr. Moorcs and said that what had mainly Induced him to take an active part In this campaign was the fact that he deemed It his duly to give the He to the vile slanders which ho knew were wholly and absolutely false. He plainly showed the. falsity of thc.ie charges and declared that It wan the duty of every good citizen to cast his vote for 'Mr. Mooros. ' VICTORY FOR PURE GOVERNMENT. Rev. I * F. Brltt , chaplain of the Veteran's league. mad a very effective speech on The Christian In the Ranks. " Ho nlsn indulged In several Interesting reminiscences of the great conlllct and ended with the declaration that thcro was a fight on now. and they would follow Colonel Moores and the whole republican ticket to n victory for pure- gov ernment and the Integrity and patriotism of the people. ' . Judge ICeysor was asked to add a brief ad dress to the regular program. He asserted that this compalgn was a crisis In the Interests of Omaha. The welfare of the city and state was at stake as well as the Integrity ot the ballot box , nnd It was th duty of every citizen , whatever his political belief might be , to go to the polls next Tuesday and say by his ballot that the practice of turning men out of office who had been honestly elected should bo eternally eradicated In Ne braska. C. E. Winters eloquently discussed , "The Volunteers. " He spoke of the volunteers' who had saved the nation In Its hour of peril , and declared that It was the same spirit that would carry thu coming election for good government and the whole republican ticket. Colonel Moorcs was then Introduced nnd was given a veritable ovation. He spoke \ury briefly on account of the lateness of the hour , but expressed his appreciation of the enthusiastic greeting ho hod received , and of the loyalty of his old comrades. Ho said that If ho was elected mayor ot Omaha he would promise to give the city good govern ment during the next three years. CLAIMS A IHFFUUKNCU EXISTS. 1'ojioornt an n Term CniitrniltHtlii- KiilHlicil from I'nimllNt. OMAHA , April 16. To the Editor of The Bee : You are having a good deal to say about popocrats ; I do not object to that , but I think It Is hardly fair that populists and "popocrats" should be placed In the same class. Thcro Is as wide a difference between them as there is between the poles. A "popocrat" Is a demagogue alert for fusion and boodle. Ho Is without honor , ready for anything that promises a dollar without earning It from whatever source It may be offered. Ho would sell one party , or ono man , for an office or an appointment , as soon as another. He would vote at all the primaries , pack all the cpnventlons , bo In harmony with all factions , get down In the dirt and crawl like a snake , lick tbo hand of the most corrupt demagogue on earth , for a promise of something ho will never get ; ho will bo the poor man's friend , and no matter how poor he may be himself will betray him as soon ns another. If that > Is the animal you refer to as a " " all please and "popocrat" you may say you I am sure populists will not be offended. Popultstb have had this animal to meet and contend with In all their conventions- have had to bear the disgrace of this "crat" as long as they feel willing to without a prote-st. I thlnlc the next "popocrat" con vention held In Omaha will bo a credit to that animal , " and will make a fine 'pictures , ' for a rogues' gallery. If I were an artist 1 would be on hand to take It. A populist Isa man who left ono of the old parties to escape the methods and the com pany of the "boss" and "heeler" and gen eral cussedness of the demagogue ; ho Is ono who wants honesty In politics and can suffer defeat until the people wont the reforms ho believes In ; ho can bo and has been sold , but not delivered. As ho has left one , or possi bly both , of the old parties , ho can leave the third without regret , not even asking credit for having built up "what they are tearing down. INDEPENDENT. Flrot of 11 Dny. BERKELEY , Cal. , April 16. Fire at tha University of California this afternoon en tirely destroyed the building occupied as the college of agriculture. The fire is believed to have started either from an explosion In the chemical laboratory or from the heat generated by 'the use of an Incubator. The building contained expensive chemicals and laboratory appliances. The loss Is estimated at $40,000. LINCOLN , April 16.

LABOR TURNS HOWELL DOWN Central Labor Union Refuses to Endorse tha Gamblers' ' Candidate. HIS PIU3GERS FIGHT. BUT ARE BEATEN AVIlllnm nrnlincli MnUcN a Hi > oeeli I" Pnviir or tlio IllHOroillilnlP niul In InU-rruntetl lth Joern niul The regular session of the Central Labor union last night was reKeved from Us usual tedium by numerous Interesting features , chief among which was an abortive attempt by William Grabach to have the body endorse - dorso Howcll. As soon as order was produced from taps of President Bell's gavel , the body went Into the discussion ot regular business. The cre dentials ot M. J. Currca , Mark T. Caster and J. S. Tobias , delegates from local lodge No. 22 , National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers , were accepted , and they wcro In stalled as members ot the central body. James nasmusscn , delceato from lodge No. 10 , Cooper's International union , was elected n member ot the body , as also was William Mullen , delegate from the Journeymen Horse- shoer's union , No. 10. O. M. Zander of a local firm of architects was admitted to the hall and addressed the members for ten minutes upon the subject or Omaha laboring men and thcTransmlsslsslppI Exposition. Ho suggested that a committee bo appointed to confer with the executive board of the exposition at Its next meeting. A committee- seven , consisting of O. P. Sehrum , William Boycr , Harry Eastou. George Clark , J. W. Brcon , J. C. Russell and Mark Caster was appointed to meet In unison with delegates from the architects' and build ers' associations and to confer 'With tbo execu tive board of the exposition. A meeting to discuss plans will be held by the committee at Labor Temple Sunday afternoon. TRIES TO BOOM HOWELL. During a short interim , of the transaction ot business William Grabach , who had been trying In vain to get the floor , arose and said that ho would llko to discuss a sub ject \\hlch was close to his heart , but which ho knew -was In direct violation to the con stitution of the Central Labor union. He was accorded the privilege to talk. Mr. Grabach said that he had been approached by cappers for the Howell combine and that they had told him that the Central Labor union should be Induced to endorse the gambler's candidate. He eald personally he was In favor of Howcll , and ho would like to lay before the body certain reasons why they should support him. At this Juncture F. M. Youngs declared the speaker out of order. A war of words fol lowed , but Grabach was allowed to continue. GrabTch then delivered a speech which had been placed In his mouth by Howell's fol lowers amidst the objections raised by O. P. Sehrum and others -who did not care to have politics discussed. He said that Howell had promised to bo the worklngman's friend ; that ho had Just concluded a brilliant career in the state si-cate , and that all worklngmcn should como out strong for him. Grabach pictured the merits of the popocratlc candi date In rainbow colors amid the derisive laughter of the majority of the members who were unquestionably In favor of the re publican candidate. Ho at length subsided and Charles Ask- wlth secured the floor and asked the chair if ho might say a few words for Frank E. Mooros. The chair called him down as be ing out ot order. Mr. Grabach's attempt to get an endorsement for Howell In the Central Later union was pronounced a dis mal failure. A communication from Samuel . .Gompers , president of the American Federation of Labor , relative to the fight now on between the Knights of Labor and the brewers' unions was read , asking that tbo local unions give the brewers their support , and placed on flic. Another communication In regard to the trouble existing between the Anchor Milling company of West Superior , Wls. , and Us employes was placed on flic. The subject of the strike existing between the Drovers' Journal of South Omaha and Typographical union No. 190 was discussed , but no action taken. A committee consisting of J. J. Kerrigan , William Grabach and C. C. Vaughan , was elected to revise the constitution and by laws of the Central Labor union and to report at the next meeting. .I2U . HOWELL'S IiATEST TIE-UP. Charley Fa lining to lie Sulccluil for Chief of Police. The fire and police commission , of which tha mayor Is the ex-olficlo member and chair man , Is being used as a club In the present campaign by Howcll and his political train ers to the furthest extent , not merely on the police and lire departments , but also on brewers , saloon men and keepers ot dis orderly resorts. The decision of the commissioners not to make any changes whatever In the personnel of the fire and police departments until after the election Is now recognized as a shrewd political move In the Interests of the fusion city ticket. By this means not only Is pres sure brought upon the present members and officers of these departments to work for Howcll through fear of dismissal , but also Is a whole army of place hunters kept on the string with promises ot appointments as soon as the expected changes shall b ? made. A number of the policemen have been approached preached by men professing to represent Howell and his friends on the police com mission with threats that unless they use tlielr Influence for the fusion ticket their re tention on the force will bo doubtful.

OAMBLEUS pnorOSE FANNING. The fact la , however , tWiit tfle slate for the police reorganization hasyllrfjdy been made up and agreed upon by the Howcll Members of the police commission. While In outsUlc circles there Is much speculation as to the name of the new chief 6fpolice , the Ram blers with whom Howcll ( wins have been given assurances that hef * H1 be appointed upon their recommendation In case Howcll In elected. The man who has been picked out Is none other than rharlcy-jj nnlng , and all that la lacking to make the deal a reality Is the Induction of Howcll Into the police com mission. Fanning himself has given several of 1,1s Intimate friends to'unfWrstand ' that he has a dead cinch on the chlottnlncy when the time comes , although l.e rp\\i lcnlc9 It. The tie-up manipulated by , the gamblers through the Howcll-UanSnin combine Is said to Include Police Commissioner Hcrdman and Billiard. The other two members of the police commission Dr. Pfabody and Judge Orcgory seem to have been entirely Ignored , probably because the gamblers know It would ho useless to approach them. Hesldes mak ing Fanning chief , the deal extends BO far as to guarantee Chief Slgwart one of the captaincies , retain Haze as captain and dismiss Captain King. Other members of the force arc slated to go also , but which ones Is to depend upon the work they do for Howcll In the campaign. If the promises of places to outsiders are to bo kept every man on the present police force will have to bo discharged twlco tb make room for the promised appointees. The Hclectlon of Charley Fanning for the place of chief of police Is ti.o direct work of the gamblers who wcro behind the llowcll gambling bill. Fanning has for years been associated with the bcss gamblers of the town Illbblns , White , Kennedy , Morrison and all other professional sports. Fanning Is to bo found almost any tlmo of the day or night at Oertcr's , the place where IJIbblns and llowcll's committee clerk , Plattl , fixed up the arrangements for putting the Howcll gambling bill through the senate. PIIBSBHVES HOWELL'S HEADQtUnTEtlS It Is stated upon presumably good au thority that Fanning hns upon several oc casions advanced part of Uio license money of the Oerter place , which Is the recognized headquarters of the gambling fraternity , and which Is today decorated with llowcll's picture above the bar. The proposed reten tion of Slgwart as captain of policeIs said to bo duo to a personal friendship of Howcll. Chief of Detectives Cox Is talking anil working for Howcll In the expectation that ho may thereby hang onto his Job and the same motives animate a number of lesser police lights. The same tactics are being pursued In reference to saloon keepers , brewers and keepers of questionable resorts. They are being told that the fusltmlsts control the police board and will control It whether Howell Is elected or not and unless they como out actively In aid of Howcll things will bo made very uncomfortable for them , Lee Spratlln , who Is talking for Howell , notwithstanding the Insults and Ignominy which were heaped upon him by the Howell- Ite-s when they kicked him out of the Jack- sonlan club a few months ago , asserted openly a day or two ago that unless the saloon keepers wheeled Into line the members of the police commission would see to It that they closed up at C o'clock every night In the year. How far these bulldozing tactics will succeed with reputable llyuor dealers who want no special favors so long as all are treated alike Is problematical. In the meantime people who have been led to believe that thecnijvTi police commis sion Is out of politics should watch some of the commissioners who ( are. campaigning for the gamblers' candidate. , , . , SOUTH DAKOTA SUl'RKMB COURT. > - h Ma 11 tin in u n Prucci-illliKM liiNtldilcil oil Ilcliiilf of tli'e ' 'lfKfiiH. .

The ( ruu luwaidncss ot Ucdfleld's ' hostility to Frank 12. Moorcs Is hU attachment to Jim Wlnspcar , who has dominated him ever since they became great lights In A. P. A. councils. It will be remembered charges were preferred In 1S91 against Wluspear for political crooked work , and ho In turn exercised his power as acting high muck-a-muck to tws- pind" his accusers. In the Interesting trial which followed , and of which The Uco has the official stenographic report. Iledllcld acted as Wlnspcar's left bower wb.Ho In the capacity of Judge , and by throwing his weight Into the scale ot justice , vindicated Wlnspcar and sustained his order ot sus pension. A side light on the relations of Mel Hed- flcld to Wlnspcar Is thrown In the following extract from the proceedings of the trial : nEbFHSLD AND HIS PULL. Mr. Winter I , for one , will not consent to have the testimony In my case reduced to writing by this Kmmons ; It Is asking too much of me to submit my case on his version of the evidence written out after ward In long hand , he not being a sten ographer to your board or to anybody be fore which It may come on appeal. You say his version of the testimony Is the official version and the only veislon wo will allow to go up on appeal. I , and we all , arc to bo tried In the first instance by a committee consisting of this Mr. Emmons , Mr. Miller and Mr. Uedflcld , and then be forced to abldo by Mr. Kmmons' version ot the testimony. Mr. Kmmons Is the state secretary under J. II. Wlnspcar , the acting state president. His perquisites In office are as Mr. Wluspear fixes them. Mr. Em mons Is also the man who In the supicme council at St. Louis bitterly and unscrupu lously opposed the appeal of Council No. 5 from ever being heard. Mr. Miller did the same , and on the floor of the supreme coun cil chamber at St. Louis said to me , "I did not know and don't know yet what there Is In this matter against Wlnspcar , but you did not see ( It to consult me , and I am going to tight you fellows tooth and tocnall. " Mr. Hedfleld Is the printer who gets through Mr. Wlnspear all the A. P. A. printing to do , without other A. P. A. printers having an opportunity to bid on It as provided by our state constitution , and Mr. Itedfleld Is the man who promised on behalf of the state executive board nt Its last meeting that Council No. 5 should bo duly notified through the secretary of the time , place and opportunity to make proof of Us grievance against J. H. Wlnspear , which promise has been shamelessly broken. Now , slnco Mr. Wlnspear has finally concluded not to sit as Judge and Jury and prosecutor In these cases , these three men , Emmons , Miller and Hcdfield , will bo our Judges , all other members of the board being absent. Now , you say , I must abldo by the evidence as Mr. Emmous sees fit to put It down , and If you deem best you will send It to the absent members of the board , and any appeal I may wish to make must bo made on MrEmmons' version of the testimony. ' STANDS BY JIM WINSPEAR. Now , I say to you that under these circumstances Mr. Emmons cannot be the ono to take down the testimony In my case. It Is unfair of you to seek It , and I will not submit to It. I propose that when your absent members or any higher body In ap peal sits In Judgment on my case and re views the evidence and your findings thereon they shall have before them Just what I give- before you tonight , and Just what you had before you when you passed on my case. Mr. Gathers Those are my scntlmenta. Mr. Ilouck So say I. Sir. Currier So say wo all. Mr. Covell We offer you without expense to the executive board or to anyone but the accused a stenographer officially recognized as ono ot the best In Douglas county , Ne braska , a man capable and honorable. holdIng - Ing the position of official stenographer to Judge Davis , a man of strict Integrity , a faithful and loyal member of the A. P. A. . and In good standing , whose ability to cor rectly report and transcribe proceedings has never been questioned. Wo offer you such a stenographer to take this evidence Verbatim and reduce It to typewriting for the purpose of submitting It to the absent members of the board , as we understand wo are to be judged by the testimony reduced to writing. Mr. Ueddeld We shall have to stand by tbo rules adopted. Strike fur IIlKlier PATERSON. N. J. , April 10.

The decision to make St. I'otcisburs a terminus of the Siberian rallioiil us well as Moscow , wlilch has Just been nrrlvoil nt. makes new calculations necessary In rcsaril to the great rnllioiul. To make Hie Journey from London lo Shanghai requires thirty-nine days by the Itrlmllsl ami Suez canal routes , ftilrty-spven Oays by way of Marseilles , anJ from tlilrty-four to thirty-nine 'lays u > the American route , tly the Siberian railroad through St. PctorsburR the tlmo will bo not over twenty-two days , and the fare will be but one-halt that charnnil by the other routes. U Is hnuoislblc to Imagine- any re sult from tills commercial revolution other than that business will go by the shorter route. It was the dlscoxcry of the Cape of flood Ilcpo route that diverted trtulo from tha cities on the northern littoral ot the Mediterranean , and the opening of the Isthmus ot Suez diverted It again from the path discovered by Vaseo da QamaVu may look to see Its course turned again. And what will bo the value of Oonst.intlnople \\hcn the Siberian road Is completed and Its feeders reach down through Asia , tapping the trade that now ( lows toward HIP tiolden Horn ? llcicft ot Its Importance ns n dis tributing center , as the market between In terior Asia ( iml the west , what commercial Impcriatito will It possess ?

The supremacy of the porto will then hardly bo worth the training ot guns upon ChHbtl.iu untlvoH by the Christian nations ot western Kurcpa. * At nerlln ns well as at nrussfl It IB as serted In court circles that KmpcrorVllll.im nnd President Fattro are to meet under the hospitable roof of King Leopold , toward the close of next month. The chief magistrate of the French republic hns already accepted an Invitation to visit the International ex hibition which opens In Brussels n few weeks hence , as the guest of the Idnc. StayIng - Ing nt the royal palace , while Leo pold's brother , the count ot Flanders , pro ceeded til Merlin the other day for the pur- peso of taking part In the centennial cele bration there , he was commissioned to In- vita young Emperor William to visit llrus- sels nt the same tlmo. Kmperor AVIllln.ni. who la extremely anxious to meet President Kaurc , and to do everything that ho can to pro- ptttato Franco with the object of obstructing any understanding between Jier nnd Gieat Ilrltnlu , has accepted the Invitation with alacrity , and thun unless something occura to Interfere with the > realization of the proj ect , emperor and president will meet one another next month on neutral grounds , King Leopold acting the part of Intermedi ary and broker In the mntter , n role for which he la peculiarly fitted by taste nnd Instinct. * * ' In the debate In Calcutta , on the Indian budget , Mr. Sayanl , late president of the In dian national congress , asserted that the con dition of the agricultural classes was much worse now than long ago In the golden age , when every one was prosperous and con tented. Thin must be the case , he added , while India was under alien rule. Taking the famlno commission's report as a text he argued that the cultivators , nnd even a large proportion of the so-called landlords , were poor. They were "In a state of collapse from "chronic destitution and Indebtedness , a ready prey to famlno and pestilence.1 In fact , the Indian ryot was as "ruined , despairing 'and embittered"'a humnn being as could possibly he Imagined. _ Poverty now overshadowed a land which was once deemed to bo a field ot gold. The correctness of this statement , ho said , could bo proved up to the hilt by facts and figures , nnd though often theoretically denied , bad as often been admitted tin prac tice , and the point seemed now to bo con ceded by the highest authorities. Indeed , the poverty of India was staring the govern ment In ths face. It was poverty which at the first pinch of the present famine sent up tremendously the prices of food grains , threw millions of people on the hands of the government , and compelled them to appeal nil over the world for help. Ot course this view of nffalrs encountered vigorous criti cism nnd denlnl from European members. * Emperor Blenelck of Abysslna has de cided , In further assertion of his claim to be nccounted nmong the established powers , to Issiio a coinage with his own Imago and superscription. The Paris mint has ac cepted his commission , to coin the now Ethe- oplnn money. The design was Intrusted to the engravers Lagrangc and Alphce Dubols.

" The uprising of natives In Gazaland , In Portuguese East Africa , and which Is m- morcd to have extended to the tribes on both sides of the Limpopo river , In Rhodesia , as well as In the Transvaal , bids fair to tax the. resources ot Mrltons niul lloers as well aa of the Portuguese In the disturbed re gions. The white conquest of South Africa Is by no moans an accomplished fact ; the Caucasian settlements there arc mere Islands In a sea of black cavagcry. The revolt may prove not an unmixed evil If It shall con- vlnco the various South African colonies and states of the unwisdom of mutual bick erings In the face of their common danger. If the region between this Zambesi and tha capo U to bo conserved to Kuropoan civiliza tion Its white population , British and Dutch , will , bo obliged to unite 'their forces In the content against the black aborigines and the Invading hosts of the yellow and brown racci from China and India ns well. * Twenty years ago Hobart Pasha , speaking for the Turkish government , snld : "Wo have never had n fair chance of doing right. Now wo are determined , under the auspices of our 'omitf , Intelligent and progressive sovereign , to start on a right course. Olvo us a year to KIOW what wo can do , and It at the end of the year we have not Improved , wipe us out of the man of nations. " Slnco that tlmo thousands upon thousands of men , women and children have been massacred In the Turkish dominions ; today the grea1 now- ers of Europe are 'threatening ' Greece be cause she ban dared to take up the cause of the oppressed people of Crete , and the "In telligent and progressive sovereign" " has sent an autograph letter to the czar ot Hussla thanking him for his firm grasp on "tho principle of the Integrity of Turkey. " Anil all this has been done In the name of civ ilization. * * After Grccco became a nation the exper iment of two legislative chambers was tried for a time ; but the present constitution , which was promulgated In 18G4 , provided for only one legislative body and fixed the legislative power In the king and house ot representatives. If a law or project bo reJected - Jected by one or the other It cannot bo In troduced again In the same legislative ses sion. The single chamber Is often actuated by prejudice or impulse , the only restrain ing Influence ! being the Icing and his min isters. In a case llko the present , when the war fever Is so strong , the king may bo said to bo powerless and must follow the legislature. _ Dcecham's Pills will dispel the "blues.
