Berlin, Jane 28. The Beichstag passed
the army bill to its third reading without
an amendment. The minority consisted of
tb Freisicniege, Socialist and Volks par
ties and 18 members of the Center party. Of
the Centrist members who voted
against the bill, 16 were from Ba
Taria and wo from Berlin. They
refused to follow Dr. "Windthorst in ac
cepting Chancellor Von Caprivl's assur
ances that extensive leaves of absence would
be grantea after two years' service, and that
annual budgets would be presented which
would enable the Beichstag to control the
fixation of the peace effecting. The Chan
cellor's concessions practically amount to
little, but theysufiiced to give the bulk of
the Center party an excuse for voting tor the
bill.
The House next passed to its second read
ing of the Budget Committee's report, strik
ing out the credit demanded by the Govern
ment for raising the pay of officers below the
rank of Colonel. Baron Maltzahn, the Im
perial.Secretary of the Treasury, and Gen
eral Verdy Du Vernois, the Minister of
"War, again advocated the reinsertion of the
credit, without avail. Tne supplementary
estimates, amounting to 73,600,000 marks,
which are mainly intended for military pur
poses, were referred to the Budget Com
mittee. AN EABLY ADJOUENMENT.
The Government having now secured the
passage of the army bill, the House can ad
journ early in July until November, when
bills bearing on the labor question will
form the chief work of the Beichstag. The
bill concerning the acquisition of Heligo
land and the financial plans of the Govern
ment, by which the increased army expendi
tures are to be met, will remain undisclosed
until the winter session.
Sir Edward Malet, the British Ambassa
dor, had an important conference with Chan
cellor Von Caprivi yesterday on the subject
of the opposition of the French Government
to the East African agreement. The note of
JT. Bibot the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, protesting against the establishment
of a protectorate over Zanzibar, affects the
German claims to the Littoral within the
Sultanate, and so the proposed acquisition of
Mafia. The conference resulted in an agree
ment to take simultaneous action in opposing
the right of France to interfere.
ENGLAND EEPLIES TO FBANCE.
The English Government has prepared a
reply to M. Bibot to the efiect that if the
Sultan accepts the protection of England or
any other power the treaty of 1862 give
France no right to object, and further that
the Anglo-German arrangement does not
attack the independence of the Sultan, pro
tection not involving subjection. The En
glish note will be presented to II. Bibot
early next week and will be supported by a
diplomatic intimation of Germany's con
currence. The French press reports that
Lord Salisbury's reply was handed to M.
Bibot to-day are untrue.
The Reichsanztiger to-day vindicates the
Anglo-German agreement as made in the
interest of the German East Alrica Com
pany. Instead of neglecting the interests
of the company, the Government, after the
transfer of the coast line with Mafia, will
assist the company to colonize, and the
Germans who are trying to develop trade
and agriculture on the coast will find ample
support from the Government. The article
is obviously a response to remarks made by
Prince Bismarck to a deputation that
waited upon him recently. England, he
said, would crush the German trade in
East Africa.
BENEWTNG THE TBEATT.
The renewal of the Dreibund until 1895
has been the subject of negotiations between
Signor jCrispi, the Italian Premier, and
Count -H-alnoky,. the Austrc-Hungarian
Prime Minister. The new treaty, though
unsigned, is effectively assured, the commu
nications which have already been ex
change! committing the Governments to the
extension of the period of the compact.
Prime Hinister Crispi accelerated the re
newal ot the agreement by calling General
Yon Caprivi's attention to the attacks made
upon Italy by Dr. "Windthorst and the tac
tics of the German clericals in attempting
rto limit the alliance to Austria. General
Ton Cacriri seized the occasion of the de
bate on the army bill to declare that the al
liance with Italy would continue, even if
Signor Crispi were not Premier. Although
Crispi represents guarantees of peace, an
other Italian Minister might find himself
conironted by serious difficulty.

Beading, June 28. Miss Frances Potts,
a beautiful girl of 19, residing with her pa
rents at the village of St. Peters, over the
border in upper Chester county, has tasted
neither food nor drink since June 8 last, just
20 days. On that day, after repeated at
tempts to commit suicide by other means,
she succeeded iu shootingherself in the head
with a revolver, but' without fatal effect.
Since then she has declared a dozen times a
day that she wishes to "Hie, and
has doggedly refused to partake of
nourishment of any kind, either liquid or
food. For some time previous to making
the attempts to take her own life it was
noticed that Miss Potts was despondent, the
cause presumably being her unrequited
afiection for a certain young man of the
village of St. Peters.
An effort was made to maintain a watch
over her without her knowledge. She con
trived, however, to elnde the vigilance of
her guardian and repeatedly threw her
self bead foremost into a pond. She was
rescued each time, though much against her
will, and afterward seemed to be in brighter
spirits, but later she procured a revolver
and tried to end her life with it The bullet
wound is serious, but het physicians be
lieve she would recover in time. It is to
prevent such a result and to make snre of
death that she persists in her voluntary fast

TJtica, N. Y., June 28. Messrs. Lawler

been searching for Attorney General
Miller, in order to submit to him
their claims regarding the alleged
frauds on the part of census
enumeiators in Minneapolis, found that
gentleman this afternoon. The facts
and figures 'were presented to Mr.
Miller by Mr. Munn, who made an
argument' nearly one 'hour in length, in
which he detailed theactions of the enumer

cusal of United States District Attorney
Hay to prosecute the offenders. The At

that the parties implicated in the
alleged frauds should be prosecuted vigor

as well as an assistant attorney, would be
appointed at once. He said that Hay would
be instructed to render such aid as he could
in the cases. It is understood
that the Attorney General at once
telegraphed to 'Washington giving his

The East St Louis Freight Hnndlora- In
Good Condition for a Strike.
St. Louis, June 28. There is practically
no chancre in the strike situation. The
strikers say they will not accept the com
promise terms offered by the roads, and say
that they can hold out several months if
necessary. They will organize under a
charter from the American Federation or
Labor next Monday, and will be in a posi
tion to ass: help from that body. The trans
fer drivers and switchmen have already
intimated, it is said, that they will
strike themselves if the railroads do not set
tle with the platform men very soon.
One thing iu favor of the. strikers is the
lackof harmony among the railroad officials,
some of them being willing to grant the
terms demanded by the men, while others
favor compromise and still others oppose
conceding anything. All ot the freight
houses were open to-day, but none of them
had full force, and freight is being handled
slowly.

rsrXCIAI, TSUOBAU TO TUB DtSPATCIt.1
New Obleans, June 28. The Louisiana
State Lottery accepts the proposition made
by the Senate commi ttee to-day increasing
the amount pnid by it annual ly from $1,000,
000 to $1,250,000. This will probably go
through both Houses. In the committee
Senator ProvosKy declared that the New
gass English Syndicate was prepared to pay
81,600,000 for the lottery privilege and he
tried to amend the bill by increasing the
license of the Louisinna State Lottery to $1,
500,000, but he was voted down, the com
mittee taking the view that the Newgass
Syndicate was incensed and that its bid was
not a genuine one.
The case against Mr. Saint "Armani, the
representative from Ascension Parish,
charged with receiving a bribe of $ 16,000
from the lottery company, came up in the
District Court iu Baton Bouge last night
The Attorney General refused to take part
in the prosecution. The State had no wit
nesses to offer and the District Attorney at
once nolle prossed the case. It is probable
that the charge against Saint Armant will
be made the subject ot a legislative investi
gation. It is also proposed to investigate
Judge Strikland, who is charged with bull
dozing legislators, threatening them with
arrest, like Saint Armant, if they voted for
the lottery.
BICH ENOUGH TO PAT IT.
That the lottery company so cheerfully
consents to the addition of a quarter million
to its burden is not so surprising when it is
considered that it does a far larger business
than the Monaco casino; and it has prac
tically driven the Hamburg, Boyal Havana
and other lotteries out of this country and
Canada. Its scheme provides for 312 daily
and 12 monthly drawings annually, as fol
lows: Two grand extraordinary semi-annual
drawings, with 100,000 tickets each of ?40,
yielding.if all the tickets are sold, 8,000,000.
Ten mohthlv drawings with 100,000 tickets
each of S20, yielding ?20,000,000. Three
hundred and twelve daily drawings .with
about 75,000 tickets at fl eaoh, only a small
proportion of which are sold; besides policy
tickets without limit
The total in the scheme is $51,332,000, if
all the tickets are disposed, of. The daily
drawings, however, cut but a small figure
to-day, the tickets being sold exclusively iu
Louisiana and mainly in New Orleans; and
the monthly drawing has become the prin
cipal source of revenue of the company.
A HTJNDBED THOUSAND A DAT.
Between 65 and 70 per cent of the
monthly tickets are sold, producing a gross
revenue of $18,620,000 a year. The lottery
company pays back 524 per cfttjof the
money it receives, in prizes, ranging in
value from $10 to $600,000 the number of
prizes for each drawiug being 3,124; 15 per
cent to dealers or clubs, 10 per cent for or
dinary and 5 per cent for extraordinary ex
penses, leaving a net profit'of $3,258,500 on
the monthly drawings, which is half as
much again as the Monaco casino takes in.
The daily drawing brings in $1,187,600
gross and $368,125 net, making the total
annual profits of the company $3,626,625,
which is increasing at the rate of from 10 to
20 per cent a year.
The tickets are sold in halves, quarters,
tenths, twentieths and fortieths. Ahout 15,
000.000 "pieces" of the monthly tickets are
disposed of annually, ot which 14,550,000
are sold outside of Louisiana, or about
1,200,000 a month mainly in the United
States and Canada. It is safe, therefore, to
place the number of lottery players in this
country outside of Louisiana who buy one
or more tickets a year, at 4,000,000 to 5,000,
000, all of whom are interested in the ques
tion of extending the lottery's charter.
BEGINNING OP ITS TBOUBLES.
It was in 1877 that Postmaster General
Key started a crusaae against the lottery.
The United States Bevised Statutes deny
the use of the mail to all "fraudulent lot
tery companies." The Postmaster General
took the position that all lotteries were
fraudulent, and refused the Louisiana com
pany the privilege of the mails. It pro
tested against the course, declaring that it
was a regularly chartered institution, hon
estly and fairly conducted. The matter
was discussed at length, the lottery com
pany being represented at Washington by
the leading lawyers in the country, includ
ing two Senatofs; but Key stood firm, and
his ruling prevails to-day.
' No letter addressed to the lottery com
pany or its President is delivered. It is
stamped "fraudulent" and returned to the
sender. Postmaster General Wanamaker
declares that while the lottery company
does not receive its mail directly, it gets it
indirectly through the New Orleans banks;
and he suggested that Congress do something
iu this matter; but it has tailed to do any
thing, and it relused also Mr. Key's proposi
tion to strike 'fraudulent" Irom the statute
book; and, thus prevent all lotteries, whetber
fraudulent or not
ALWAYS A LOOSE PUBSE PTBING.
Trouble with the United States author
ities was boon followed by a still more seri
ous one at home, in Louisiana, which very
nearly wrecked the company. But with
skillful lobbying and unparalleled gener
osity it has so far conquered every obstacle.
In consequence of its donations, the lottery
became so popular in Louisiana that it was
suggested to Mr. John A. Morris, its mana
ger, some months ago, that instead of allow
ing the charter to lapse in 1894, be might
get it extended.
To do this, it was necessary for the Legis
lature of 1890 to pass a constitutional
amendment changing Article 236 of the
Constitution, which prohibits lotteries after
io, anu to'soDniit it to the popular vote
at the next general State election, which
occurs in 1892. The policy of liberality
was at once adopted.
THE GIPTS LAST KABCH.
The high water which came in March
gave it another chance to display its gener
osity. JLt gave sou.wu to JNew Urleans lor
its levees, and preventedthe overflow of the
town; :ollowed this up with a gilt of $100,
000 to the State for levees. The Governor
relused to accept this mouev, and it was
then tendered to the police juries or country
boards, and accepted by them. The Com
pany spent in all close on $300,000 on the
overflow.
In the meanwhile, however, a serious op
position had been developed. It began with
the ministers, who organized an Evangelical
Anti-Lottery League. Sam Jones was
brought down here to declaim against the
lottery. Sermons were preached against it,
and from this came the fierce struggle now
waging in the Legislature.

tf FECIAL TILianAll TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Pubtjs, Miss., June 28. "We arrived at
Bichburg and were guests of Mr. Bich. At
court Monday Sullivan pleaded guilty and
was fined $500. I was fined $200, which was
afterward reduced to $100. Kilrain,
Muldoon and Cleary came on "Wednesday to
Purvis. They were in Bichburg, 11 miles
from here on Tuesday morning. They knew
that Sullivan was in Purvis all the time.
On their arrival from Bichburg Muldoon
inquired if Sullivan was in town. When
answered in the negative he yolun
teered a slander which was pub
lished in the rimej-Demoerat oi the 26th.
Sullivan didn't want to go to New Orleans,
but wanted to stay here to meet Muldoon.
Duncan B. Harrison and myself prevailed
upon him to go to New Orleans as we knew
there would be trouble. Sullivan, after
reading the Times-Democrat of to-day, senf
the following dispatch to Mr. Bich:
"Hold Kilrain and Muldobn; I will be
up on this evening's train and prove Mul
doon a liar and Kilrain a coward."
You should have seen their faces
they were as pale as a fresh lann
dried shirt after they had read
this dispatch. Then they had a hurried
conversation and Cleary rushed In agro
eery store and bought a bag oi salt Cleary
and Muldoon then took Kilrain half a mile
up the railroad to a fresh spring to give bim
a salt hath to harden his hide
for a good licking. Before the
dispatch was received Kilrain was
gay as a flower in May, but after reading it
he became silent as an oyster, and said:
"Well, I will fight," but looked like he
was about to swallaw his Adam's apple.
At this stage oi the game every
one was filled with the - expectation
of witnessing a fight on Sullivan's
arrival. It was amusing to hear the colored
people of Bichburg talk about the result, on
which they begun to bet their small change.
Mr. Bich then received a dispatch from the
Times-Democrat saying that Sulfivan.had
gone to Bav St Louis and was advised by
friends not to return to Bichburg, and I am
glad he did not, as there would have been
serious trouble had be come back.
Kilrain, on reading the telegrams and
knowing that it was then an impossibility
to fight, recovered himself and was as light
hearted as a monkey with a red apple. Mul
doon was very bitter against Sullivan. Free
use of his tongue was the cause of his being
fined $250. Sullivan and his friends made
a fine impression on the people and court
officials, notwithstanding the villianous lies
that were published in the Times-Democrat
of the 26th instant Kilrain and Muldoon
want notoriety and newspaper talk, and no
fight, and Muldoon is sure to get a licking
when he meets Sullivan unless be falls to
the floor. That is the reason for their not
coming to Purvis during Sullivan's stay.

BIHTH OF THE ICEBEEG.
Theories as to It Formation From the
Tonsne of the Glacier.
Harper's 'Weekly. I
The dynamical law y which the glaciers
abutting on the sea generate their bergs is
still somewhat vague. In earlier days it was
held that the glacial tongue broke off by its
own weight. To this has succeeded the fol
lowing explanation, perhaps more popularly
than scientifically accepted. Moving down
the fiords to the ocean the glacier's front en
ters the waves, at first ploughing up the sea
bottom into a deep furrow. But as the ice
prow pushes out over the sloping ocean
floor, the weight resting upon the bottom
steadilv diminishes.
The floating power of the water tends con
stantly to lift the ice, which is held down by
the rigidity of of the glacial sheet below its
normal sea line. Moving on still, the gla
cier's front reaches the point in deeper
waters where it is lifted from the bottom al
together. Still it remains unbroken, the
Strength of the sheet, hundreds of feet in
thickness, holding it. But as it proceeds,
the awful leverage on the un
supported tongue waxes. Each
surge of the tide, every onset ot
storm, racks its structure. At last comes
the point where the hardly sustained equi
librium of forces ends, and the glacial tip
breaks away into the floating berg. Finally
we have a third and more recent hypothesis
based on the differential movement of the
upper and lower parts of the glacier. This
latest theory asserts thai the elacial-front is
thrust over from above bv the swifter de
scent of its upper portion a movement
which may be roughly likened to the break
ing comb of a sea wave sweeping to the
shore.
TEA DELNK1NG IN ENGLAND.
The Nation Addicted to it to a Degree That
Is Hardly Credible.
Harper's Weekly.
"What an English home would be without
tea, I cannot imagine. What England
itself would be without that beverage, it is
difficult to conceive. It is no exaggeration
that one might as well try to fancy New
York City without a bar-room. They drink
enough liquor in England, Heaven
knows enough to float onr navy. But the
liquor drinking is incidental, while tea
drinking is apparently essential to the
national life. Where we see advertisements
of patent medicines in America, they see
advertisements of tea. "O & O Tea," "Tip
top Tea," "Wonderful," "Ceylon Tea"
these words stare at the British from every
dead wall, on every 'bus, in every news
paper. And no foreigner can escape the actual
substance or fluid any more than the native
can avoid the advertisements. You have
tea for breakfast, tea lor luncheon, tea at
late supper. You only.miss it at dinner,
but meanwhile you have had it at 5 o'clock.
If you call on your banker in his office, on
your Iriend in his home, on your fellow
iodger in your hotel, be rings a bell, and tea
is brought in with thin slices ot buttered
bread, or, if ladies are present, with tarts.

slaved? "Whatever they do, wherever they

tSPICIAL TH.IORAM TO TBI DISPATCn.1
Chicago, June 28. Thousands of suffer
ing people watched the copperish-looking
sun go down Friday night, but not one of
them could discover any trace of a storm
along the blazing horizon. The stars came
out in a clear sky and burned with a fury
tbat made one think they had been dis
torted by retraction. There was no breeze.
The leaves of the trees drooped listlessly,
and owing to the heavy moisture in the air
noises were unusually distinct.
It was a sticky, stuffy night, with the
thermometer, at 64 at midnight. In the
densely populated districts of the city the
suffering was intense. For nearly a week
Chicago has been the center of an immense
oven, which extended from the Missouri
river to Ohio, and from British Columbia to
Pensacola. The moisture has filled the air
to an abnormal degree, and made life almost
unbearable.
"WOBSE AND MOKE Off IT.
The maximum temperature up to to-day
has not been unusual, but the humidity has
been so great that the air was stifling.
"When the sun came up this morning there
was but little breeze, and that came from the
South and was like puffs from a blast
furnace. Thousands of people who thought
they had reached the limit of endurance
were compelled to suffer even more.
The sun hung like a copper ball and
blazed with a fury that has not been ex
perienced since the Sunday three years ago
when over 100 persons were killed by the
heat. The mercury climbed steadily, despite
the moist air, until by thermometers in the
streets registered 102. Even the conserva
tive register on top of the tower of the
Auditorium marked 96.
The heat in the streets was intolerable.
In some places where the sun got an oblique
sweep pedestrians staggered, toppled over or
clung to anything for support Horses at

I8PICIAL TXLIOBAX TO THS DISPATCn.1
Biemingham, Ala., June 28. Six
thousand coal miners will go out on a strike
in this district Tuesday morning. This.will
cut off the supply of coke and force 23 fur
naces to go out of blast, throwing 6,000 or
6,000 more men out of .employment The
strike is against the sliding scale, based on
the price of iron, and for an advance of 10
per cent on all classes of work. Several
days ago the miners notified mine owners
and operators that they would not renew the
sliding scale contract, which expires Mon
day, and further, would demandan-advance
ot 10 per cent on a straight" contract, to run
12 months.
To-day a meeting of mine operators and
furnace owners was held in this city, and it
was decided cot to grant the advance. The
furnace owners were willing to shut down
tor a month anyway for repairs, and on ac
count of the low price of iron it was agreed
that fires would be banked in all furnaces
now in blast at once, and arrangements
made for a general shut-down of everything.
The Bessemer and Alabama rolling mill,
employing 700 men, closed down to-day for
six weeks, which will help the mine owners
somewhat,.
As soon as the committee trom the miners
were notified that their demands would not

State were ordered not to work after Mon

convict miners are employed. They will be
able to supply the railroads here and prob
ably keep the Birmingham Boiling Mill,

The miners say they cannot afford to work
at present prices, and they seem very con

THE PIGMIES OF 1NTEEI0B AFRICA.
A Peoplo Whose Pedigree Reaches Back
to Prehistoric Times.
In his recent address in London before the
Boyal Geographical Society, Mr. Stanley
gave"an interesting account of the pigmies
innabiting the great forest through which
he traveled, who were known to exist by
the father of poets nine centuries before
the beginning of the Christian era.
"Nearly a year ago we found them where
they had been located by tradition under
the names of "Wataa and Wambutti. "We
were just now paying due reverence to the
kings of the forest who were born before the
foundations of the tower on Shinar plain
were laid, and because it seemed to us that
in their life they united prehistoric times to
this society, journal-loving nineteenth
century. Let us pause a little and pay
honor to those little people who have out
lived the proud Pharaohs of Egypt, the
cbossn people of Palestine, and the Em
perors of Babylon, Nineveh, Persia and the
Macedonian and Boman empires.
"Near a place called Avertiko, on the
Itun river, our hungry men found the first
male and female of the pigmies squatted in
the midst of a wild Eden peeling plantains.
You can imagine what a shock it was to the
poor little creatures at finding themselves
suddenly surrounded by gigantic Soudanese
6 feet 4 inches in height, nearly double
their own height and weight, and black as
coal. But my Zanzibaris, always more
tender-hearted than Soudanese, prevented
the clubbed rifle and cutlasses from ex
tinguishing their lives there and then,
and brought them to me as prizes, in the
same spirit as they would have brougth a
big hawk moth or mammoth longicorn for.
inspection. As they stood tremblingly be
fore me I named the little man Adam and
the miniature woman Eye, far more appro
priate names in the wild Eden on the Ituri
than the Yuknkuru and Akiokwa which
they gave us. As I looked at them and
thought how these represented the oldest
people on the globe, my admiration would
have gone to greater lengths than scoffing
cynics would have expected.
But, poor little things, they did sot know
they were heirs of snch proud and une
qualed heritage. The height of the man was
four feet, tbat of the woman a little less. He
may have weighed about 85 pounds; the
color of the body was that of a half-baked
brick, and a light brown fell stood out
clearly. So far as natural intelligence was
concerned, within his limited experience, be
was certainly superior to any black man in
our camp. The mysteries of woodcraft,
for instance, he knew better than any
of us; he knew what wild fruits
were wholesome and what fungi were
poisonous. Our foragers and scouts may'
have captured about 50 of these dwarfs, only
one of whom reached the height of 54 inches.
They varied from 39 inches to 50 inches
trenerally. A forest village consists ot from
20 to 100 families of pigmies, and probably
in that era between Ihuru and Ituri rivers
there are as many as 2,000 families living
this nomadic and free lite in the perpetual
twilight of the reat and umbrageous forest
of equatorial Africa."
