WILL THERE BE WAR ?
It is somewhat speculative to treat of
the probabilities of war between England
and Russia, says the Pittsburgh Commer
cial Gazette, and yet, it is well occasionally
to gather the floating items of fact, and
out of them estimate results. That Rus
sia does not desire war we think to be evi
dent. She is not a developed nation, and
her strength is not consolidated. She has
just come out of war with Turkey that has
tried her financial resources, and would
prefer to gather up the fruits of the war
just ended, than to plunge into another,
the result of which may be regarded with
some apprehension. Hence she prefers to
avoid war, if she can do so without suffer
ing severe national humiliation. If war
or peace depends on the unfettered choice
of Russia, it will be peace. England on
the other hand lass many reasons for forcing
war. It is inevitable that sooner or later
she shall come into conflict with Russia.
The destiny of the latter, as marked out
by her statesmen, is to dominate certain
portions of Europe, and to reach the
boundaries cf the British power in Asia.
The fulfillment of her plans fiecessarily
threatens the safety of English power, if
it does not involve an attack upon her at
some future time. The question, there
fore, in England is shall the inevitable
conflict be deferred to a period more con
venient to Russia, or be precipitated now
The very reasons that lead Russia to desire
to avoid the conflict, inspire England to
bring it on. She is stronger than her ad
versary, in resources and material, and can
more easily carry her point now than at
any future time.
The drift of events seem to be toward
war. England steadily pursues the work
of preparation at enormous expense. The
character of her preparations is sunh, as to
point to an expensive and deadly struggle
She refuses to make any concessions that
can be used as a diplomatic basis for peace.
In all directions she presses steadily on,
as with a relentlea purpose of war. Rus
sia, while occupying a deprecating attitude,
is, nevertheless rapidly gathering up her
resources and making her preparations for
the inevitable struggle. She is gathering
torpedoes for the Black Sea, and the Mar
mora. She is preparing to send cruisers
where they can harm England's commerce.
She is urging for the possession of for
tresses around Constantinople ; and the
utmost exertion is made to increase the
effective strength of her armies in the
field. All this means that she at least
Bare that war is inevitable, and that she
is preparing for what must be met. If the
necessity for fighting comes, she proposes
to be prepared to inflict as much injury as
possible on the enemy.
TIDE House Committee abandons entire
ly the present system of Presidential elec
tions and has agreed to report a sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution, with sev
eral new provisions, as follows :
1. A Presidential term of six years, and
declaring all Presidents inelligible for re
election.
2. Each State to be entitled to as many
electoral votes as it has Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress.
3. The number of electoral votes each
candidate for President is entitled from
each State shall be ascertained by multi.
plying his entire popular vote by the whole
number of electoral votes in the State and
dividing the product by the aggregate pop
ular vote of the State for all persons voted
for as President, and the quotient shall be
the number of electoral votes and fracti on
thereof to which such persons shall be en
titled.
4. Ten days after election the returning
officers of each State shall make returns cf
the votes cast and transmit the same, un-
der seal, to the Secretary of State, by whom
they shall, on a given day, be opened in
the presence of the Governor of the State,
the Attorney General and the Auditor or
Comptroller. They shall ascertain and ap ,
portion the votes as provided above, di nd
shall transmit the result to the President
of the United States Senate.
5. If two or more candidates for Presi_
dent have an equal number of electoral
votes, the House of Representatives shall
elect one of the number as President, each
State having one vote, and a majority of
all the States shall be necessary for a
choice.
6. If there is also a tie in the votes for
Vice President the Senate shall elect one
in the same way ; and if the House shall
fail to elect a President when that duty de
volves upon them, the person elected Vice
President by the Senate shall act as Presi
dent.
Although this plan has been adopted by
the House Committee, the Senate Commit
tee will never agree to it; it is probable
that this Congress will fail entirely to
change the laws regulating the election of
President.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago, says the New
York Herald, a free mulatto woman of
Ohio was kidnapped in Kentucky and sold
into slavery in Mississippi, where she rc
mained until liberated by the downfall of
the "peculiar institution." Against the
person who sold her she has now recovered
in an Ohio court a verdict of two thousand
five hundred dollars. This is not a liberal
equivalent for the loss of liberty and for
fifteen years' hard labor on a Gulf State
plantation ; but it is far better in the cir
camstances than no equivalent at all, and
it is large enough to cover the principle
that the wrong doer must pay. If the
many histories that were formerly circu
lated of life in the border States were not
more romantic than they were generally
believed to be the principle involved in
this recovery must be applicable to a great
many cases yet untried. Here is a field
in which the speculative attorney may run
down many a sixpence. Henrietta Wood's
case is a good exhibition for prosaic times
of what may be done by
The patient search and vigil long
Of one who treasures up a wrong.
DO NOT CRIPPLE THE ARMY AND
NAVY.
- - EDITOR
The following sentiments uttered by the
New York Graphic, meet our hearty ap
proval :
We warn members of Congress that if
they adjourn, leaving the country with a
crippled army, an inefficient navy and an
unorganized and useless national militia,
history will frame a terrible indictment
against them. Discontent is rife through
out the country. If Communists and other
agitators are not already actually arming
and drilling, it is in their power to do so.
A few thousand desperate and wellorgan
ized fanatics could, in each of our large
cities, rule supreme for at least a
week. Our banks, our warehouses, our
portable property, are to-day at the mercy
of gangs of organized pillagers. A war
between England and Russia is also among
the possibilities of the near future. Should
such a war break out, it is inevitable that
the United States will be implicated, ow
ing to the rich prizes which will be offered
to adventurous seamen in the world wide
commerce of Great Britain. We are ut
terly defenceless on our sea coast. Admi
ral Porter is the authority for the state
ment that were the whole. navy of the
United States to attack an English iron
clad, the officers of the latter could go be
low and eat their dinners with perfect se
curity, as the missiles from our ships would
rattle off like peas against an iron kettle.
Our whole sea coast, we say, is defence
less; Portland, Boston, Providence, New
Haven, New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more, Norfolk and Savannah are absolute
ly at the mercy of any fleet that cares to
assail them. It is madness to rely upon a
torpedo system, the efficacy of which has
not yet been tested. The very richness of
our great cities on the sea coast will some
day tempt a real naval power to exact an
enormous tribute from our merchants and
local authorities. The member of Congress
who proposes to cripple our navy or to
leave our army in its present condition, is
a public enemy, and should be denounced
as such over the length and breadth of the
country. Like all other nations, we are
liable to domestic insurrection and foreign
war. The millennium has not yet come.
There has not been an instance in history
of a rich and defenceless country that was
not attacked and despoiled by its armed
enemies. The nation is mad—mad to run
the tremendous risks it is incurring by
having no means of offence or defence.
Congress should not adjourn before the
Executive is authorized to increase our
army in an emergency by 100,000 men
and to have on the stocks at least a few
ships of war useful for defensive purposes.
It should be the duty of Congress, pre
scribed by the Constitution, to organize
upon a national basis our militia, making
it in fact as well as in name a National
Guard against domestic insurrection. The
lesson of the riots last summer should not
be lost upon us. They disclosed the weak
ness of our State militia system. Let us be
wise in time.
The Diamond Lady.
A PRINCESS FROM ALADDIN'S PALACE AT
THE NEW YORK SIWENTII REGIMENT'S
RECEPTION.
From the New York Sun, 26th.]
The most interesting feature of the
Seventh Regiment's reception in the Acad
emy of Music, on Wednesday night, was
the appearance of the Diamond Lady. Her
bodice flamed with costly jewels. She
wore a satin dress, with a point lace over
skirt. The train was full six feet long,
and was literally sown with diamonds. At
least a pint of these precious jewels were
sprinkled over the glossy fabric. The
Diamond Lady's waist was spanned by a
zone of blazing brilliants, that sparkled
like the belt of Orion. It was three inches
wide. A roseate wreath showered with
precious gems was looped obliquely around
her skirt, and a diamond crucifix resemb
ling the glowing stars of the Southern
Cross was suspe nded from a necklace of
solitaries as large as filberts .
The dress of the Diamond Lady was cut
pompadour. Its folds seemed resplendent
with seeds of light. Pale fires flashed from
her jeweled bracelets, and the richest pre
cious stones twinkled on her fingers. Cinc
urea of magnificent diamonds clasped her
white arms above the elbows. She wore a
glittering coronet. Its center is one blazed
like ade Saucy. Prismatic rays of light
shot from nests of jewels half hidden in
her hair, and pendants of a delicious water
swung from her ears.
_ _
The Prince Cadralbadour fresh from
the boudoir would not have attracted more
attention. But no Aladdin or oriental
magician danced attendance upon the Dia
mond Lady. They would not, however,
have been out of place, for she was so
loaded with precious stones that she seem•
ed to move about with difficulty. A gal
lant captain of the Seventh estimated the
weight of her diamonds, laces and satins
at 50 pounds, and her jewels alone are said
to have been valued all the way frcm
$150,000 to $200,000.
The Demerara Boy.
Several Baltimore ladies will have it
that the little Demerara lad at the Home
of the Friendless, Baltimore, is Charlie
Rose, notwithstanding the father's inability
to recognize him. Their theory is that as
Mr. Rose has been subjected to so many
disappointments, his mind has become
morbidly biased against the probability of
finding his child, except probably through
some channel conceived by himself, and
that when he undertakes the investigation
of a case in which there is a probability in
favor of a child being, the real Charlie, be
does so with so much doubt that he is in
competent to identify him. Little "Squio
Rio" is the pet in the boys' department,
not only because there is a strong tinge of
probability in his history leading to the
belief that be may be Charlie Ross, but
because he is a very bright and interest
ing child. When he arrived in Baltimore
on the big Potomac, about three months
ago, he was tanned from the effects of the
tropical sun of British Guiana and from
exposure on the voyage. Hie hair also
was unnaturally black from the same cause.
His residence at the Home has greatly
changed his appearance. He is now much
fairer than when he came, and his hair is
lighter and decidedly curly. It has been
suggested that he shall he taken to Ger
mantown about the Ist of July, when all
the surroundings of the place will be simi
lar to those existing when Charlie Ross
was stolen. Mrs. Ross, moreover, must
see him, for when the sorely tried judg
ment of the father fails, the keen instinct
of the mother may find in the Demerara
boy her long lost son. So say these san
guine ladies, who have faith in their theo
ry, and in the bleaching processs which is
changing the lad's skin.
Eighty thousand persons visited the
Paris Exhibition on Sunday.
Death of John Morrissey.
.John Morrissey, who played a conspicu
ous part in the "sporting and political life
of New York during the last twenty five
years, and who, with all his faults, had
some virtues which entitled him to favors
ble comparison with many men claiming
more honorable repute in the world's esti
mation, died of paralysis on Wednesday
evening, May Ist, at 7.30 o'clock, at Sara
toga, N. Y. He had been ill with a com
p:ication of disorders, proceding from
organic disease of the heart, ever since his
re election as State Senator last Novem
ber ; spent the winter in Florida, where he
lay for days at the point of death, but
rallied and grew so much better that he
returned to New York about a month ago,
so much improved in health that his
friends were hopeful of his recovery. After
spending a day or two in the city he went
to Troy, and thence to Saratoga, where he
remained in a comparatively comfortable
condition until last Sunday about noon,
when he was stricken with paralysis of the
left side which rendered him helpless,
speechless and for a time unconscious. Lie
rallied again, however, during Monday and
Tuesday, partially recovered his power of
speech, and was able to sit up and take
nourishment. On Wednesday he grew
perceptibly weaker and began to sink rap•
idly until, at 7 20 in the evening, lie re
lapsed into unconsciousness, and ten
minutes afterwards, without a struggle and
seemingly without pain, he breathed his
last, sitting in his chair, with his wife at
his side holding his left hand clasped in
hers.
John Morrissey was born in the town of
Templemore, county Tipperary, Ireland,
February 12, 1831 ; emigrated to the Uni
ted States when 5 years of age, and for
many years resided at Troy and Lansing.
burg, New York ; worked for a time in a
paper mill and afterwards as a brush.
maker ; was subsequently deck hand on a
lindson river boat, and then became a
runner for Steamboat Company in New
York city. In 1852 he made his first
appearance as a pugilist, or prize-fig ter,
in California ; and returning to New York
f...)ught several notable contests in the prize
ring, the last of which was in 1857 with
John C. Heenan, at Long Point, in Cana
da, which won for him what is called the
"Champion" belt. After this he aban
doned the ring, and entered actively into
politics. in 1866 he was elected to Con
gress and re elected in 1868. In 1875 he
was elected to the State Senate in opposi
tion to John Fox, the Tammany candidate,
by 3,278 majority; and was re elected in
1877, beating Augustus Schell, the regular
Democratic nominee, in what is considered
the wealthiest, or as it is styled, the "kid
glove" district of New York, by a larger
majority than before. But the excitement
of this contest broke him down ; he was
prostrated on a sick-bed and only recover
ed sufficiewly to make the winter journey
to Florida, and return home to die. His
remains were taken to Troy yesterday
(Friiay) and will be buried to-day beside
the body of his son and only child, John,
who was born in 1855 and preceded him
to the grave in December 1876. The
Senate of New York will attend his funeral
in a body.
The Minneapolis Disaster.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 2.—The scene of
the explosion has been the center of at
traction, intense excitement pervading the
whole city and surrounding places. The
ruins present only a shapeless heap of
stone where the six mills destroyed had
stood.
Upon the "platform," on the south side
of the canal, the ruin is complete, except
as to the Washburn mill "B," which
stands a slight distance from the others on
the other side. The walls of the Pettit &
Robinson mill remain standing, while the
Palisade mill, a little distance off, escaped
by a singular freak of the flames. The
loss to surrounding buildings by the shock
of the e xplosion is material. The round
house of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad was blown down by the con
cussion. There was an insurance. The
total loss is now estimated at one million
dollars, which may be decreased later.
The search for the dead progressed as
fast as the fires could be extinguished and
the ruins cooled. Up to morning the
blackened unrecognizable remains of seven
of the unfortunate victims of the Wash
burn mill had been recovered. These
were carefully covered and carried to a
machine shop and deposited on the floor,
while a crowd of anxious relatives was
waiting to identify the lost. But one
body bore any semblance to a human form,
and even this was horribly distorted with
head, arms and legs burned to a crisp or
removed, and the trunk partially taken
away by the action of the terrific heat.
Some other fragments of bodies were
arranged in close proximity to the larger
trunk above described, until seven were
deposited, one of which was brought in a
water bucket. The estimates of the dead,
based upon the bodies recovered, those
known to be in the mill, and inquiries for
the missing, place it at sixteen. It is not
likely that all the bodies will be recovered
from the ruins. Nearly all those recover
ed are mere mutilated fragments.

Cuban Kidnappers.
INVIISTIGATION OF THE ALLEGED EN
SLAVEMENT OF AMERICAN NEGROES.
A Washington correspondent says the
Secretary of State has written to Captain
Hester to call at the State Department in
reference to the information the latter has
obtained chant the impressment of colored
men as slaves in Cuba. He will then
await, it is thought, the steps which the
Senate will likely take, shaped in the
direction of an investigation moved by
Senators Conover and Bruce, before he
takes any further action. General Quer
alta will be subpoenaed to give his state
ment of what he knows personally about
the rumored enslavement of free colored
American citizens. It is said that about
fifty cases are known to exist in certain
interior localitiea. Secretary Evarts has
declined to send any one direct from the
State Department. The late mission of
Judge Leonard, Representative from Louis
iana, was conceived by himself and assisted
by the President and Senor Mantilla, the
Spanish Minister, without Mr. Evarts'
knowledge or cooperation. Mr. Evarts
has asked Captain Hester to make a full
statement to the State Department of what
he knows of the transactions in Cuba, but
the later prefers to do this before a com
mittee when he is summoned, which he
will likely be at an early day.
Col. Lopez Queralta, who, in Washing
ton made an affidavit that a colored citizen
of the United States had been taken to
Cuba and then sold into slavery, said yes
terday that there are persons in New York
who are ready to make similar affidavits in
regard to cases which they have witnessed.
Many of the emancipated slaves in Cuba,
it is said, are seized and again sold into
slavery. If a Spanish man•of-war captures
a slave ship, only the goods found on board
are handed over to the Spanish officials.
The vessel with the slaves is brought to
Cuba, where the slaves are ostensibly lib
erated, but are actually hired out to plant
ers for terms of four or five years. These
so-called liberated slaves are called "eman
cipados," and when a plantation slave dies,
the death of an "emancipado" is recorded
in his place, and the "emancipado" takes
the name of the dead slave, in order to
baffle investigation.
The Antecedents of Disease.
Among the antecedents of disease are inert
ness in the ejaculation of the blood, an unna
turally attenuated condition of the physique,
indicating that the life current is deficient in
nutritive properties, a wan, haggard look,
inability to digest food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and a sensation of unnatural
languor. Ajl these may be regarded as among
the indicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and overwhelm
it, if it is not built up and fortified in advance.
Invigorate then, without loss of time, making
choice of the greatest vitalizing agent extant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an elixir which
has given health and vigor to myriads of the
sick and debilitated, which is avonched by
physicians and analysis to be pure as well as
effective, which is immensely popular in this
country, and extensively used abroad, and
which has been for years past one of the lead
ing medicinal staples of America. [my.3-lm.
A Campaign Slander.
When Dr. R. V. Pierce was a candidate for
State Senator, his political opponents pub
lished a pretended analysis of his popular
medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice the
people against him. His election by an over
whelming majority severely rebuked his tra
ducers, who sought to impeach his -business
Integrity. No notice would have been takes
of these campaign lies were it not that some
of his enemies (and every successful business
man has his full quota of envious rivals) are
republishing these bogus analysis. Numerous
and most absurd formulas have been published,
purporting to come from high authority ; and
it is a significant fact that no two have been at
all alike—conclusively proving the dishonesty
of their authors.

We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
R., which we are selling at an average of 53.25 per acre
ow easy terms of payment. Alte rn a te sections of Govern
ment lands can be taken as hon2esteads by actual settlers..
These lands lie in the Great Limestone Belt of Central
Kansas, the best winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding fom 20 to 35 Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-el
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of less
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are very remunerative.
The winters are short sad mild. Stock will lire all the
year on grass ! Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Pure water is found in wells from 20 to 80 feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate its the World No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of fine building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the beet class of Northern and Eastern people, and
will so appreciate in value by the improvements now be
ing made as to make their purchase at present prices one
of the very beet investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will show lands
at any time. A pamphlet, giving full information in re
gard to soil, climate, water supply, Am., will be sent free
on request. Address,
