THE DAILT D01XGS OF TOCTEIXL EOTAITt psr GAEL'S TO THE DISPATCH. LONDON, July 25. Copyrighted. The visit of the Trench lleet to Cronstadt is lveeping the Russian press cenor very busy. That officer's work is hard enough ia normal tunes, hut it is now augmented by the supervision of all telegraphic dispatches sent by special correspondents and other chroniclers of the demonstration now in progress. He has eien endeavored with Fome success to get hold of the matter sent by ruil, so that pretty well everything that bus been published may be considered officially stamped. It is not surprising, therefore, to real that the French officers have been received at Cronstadt and St. 1'etersburg with unbouuded enthusiasm by the people and that their visit is intended to prove to the world in general and Ger many in particular how cordial is the friendship existing between autocratic Russia and democratic France. The True Sido Revealed. But letters rect,ived,in London previous to the arrival of the French squadron afford good ground for stating that the measure of the Russian people's enthusiasm has been carefully regulated by the Government, and that there is not a particle of spontaneity in it The governing classes in both countries are doubtless anxious enough for an alli ance, but the two peoples are utterly Indif ferent upon the subject. That is the view taken of this demonstration by the investi gators, who do not search for the truth en tirely on the surface. Some apprehension, but more curiosity, is felt as to the character of the speeoh which the Czar is expected to make on Tuesday, when he will entertain the French officer at a banquet. So far the Czar has been com raendably prudent. Of bis own initiative he ordered the toast list at all publio enter tainments to visitors to be strictly limited in number and non-contentious in character. The Russian orators were ordered to submit their speeches beforehand to a special officer appointed for the purpose, and a hint was conveyed to the French Admiral respecting the desirableness of avoiding a reference to the triple alliance. Anxious for the Czar's Speech. Europe fears that the Czar will not im pose such a restraint upon himself and that on Tuesday he will say something calcu lated to flatter the bourses and to make the rival Kaisers and King look nervously to the buckles of their sword belts. These fears are not withe at warrant, seeing that despite the Czar's prudence hitherto as to speech, some Russian newspapers have been allowed to publish editorials at this moment breathing defiance to the triple alliance, red that the Czar has allowed the Russian vir to be "polluted" by a strain of the "llarbcillaise." The real fact i believed to be that the Czar is personally averse to an alliance with republican France, but that he has Ven induced to play the coquette because French diplomacy can be of immense serv ice to Russia in the BalLans and at Con stantinople. On Tuesday it is probable that he will say some pretty things about France, and will follow them with the cus tomary platitudes about his desire for peace. COL TJIIBIAN ENVOYS ABROAD.

London, July 25. ilany prominent En glishmen and Americans have accepted the inwtation of the Toreign Committee of the Columbian Commission to luncheon Tues day. Among those who will be present are United States Minister Lincoln, Sir Richard "Webster, the Attorney General; Sir John Pei.der. Chauncey M. Depew, Conbul Gen eral John 0. Hew and riany others. Since the arrival of the committee in the country, persistent rumors have been in circulation that the members arc dissatisfied with the attention paid to them by the American legation. The Commissioners deny there is any friction. They say that they have been received with "the utmost cordiality by Mr. Lincoln and the attaches of the legation. In connection with these rumors it can be stated that only to-day Mr. Lincoln, in conversation with Mr. Depew, told him that no deputation that had ever visited England had excited such interest as the one which represents the Chicago Fair, and that none had ever been welcomed In a more hearty manner. CHAPLIN HUMBLES HESSEIX XIc Is Hoi? Willing to Act Reasonably on the Cattle-Carrying Question. tBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCII.3 London, July 25. Queen Victoria ia said to be deeply interested in the regula tion of the trans-Atlantic cattle trade, hav ing read Mr. Plimsoll's harrowing and over oclored pamphlet about the sufferings of the animals in transit. At her request, Mr. Cbaphn is endeavoring to come to an ar rangement with the ship-owners, with a view to the immediate improvement of the conditions under which the trade is carried on. Chaplin has climbed down from the high ladder which he mounted at the begin ning -of the controversy, and is now dis posed to meet the reasonable demands of the ship-owners, who, in his bill, he proposed to treat as little better than convicted tor turers. On "Wednesday he went to Liverpool and spent several hours in the company of a crowd of notorious criminals, among whom WBHBHBHHBBf "pp- 'spx -, ''"'' . ?Brv,'f ,'PWR "! were the managers of the "White Stir, National, Beaver, "Warren and Inman line. Visits were paid to the Ottoman, Oregon, Sedgemore, Lake "Winnipeg Baltimore and other well known cattle ships. Mr. Chap lin was evidently surprised at a good mauy things which he saw," and asked plenty of questions, some of which proved that his knowledge of cattle-carrying is, to put it kindly, very superficial. The Ehip owners, however, were too wise to tell their right honorable visitor exactly what they thought of him. YOUNG ROYALTY'S WAYS. ALEXANDER OF SEKYXA A PRODIGY OF LEARNING AT 15.

Alexander, of Servia, Is being received just now by Russian grand dukes and princes with ill-concealed con tempt as a full-fledged King. Yet, accord ing to Servian official newspapers, he is a remarkably intelligent lad. Just before starting on his Russian trip he was exam ined in religion, geometry, algebra, physi ology, chemistry, the science of war, the history of Servia, tactics, general history, Latin, German, French and English. There were present at the examination the three Regents, the head of the Church, the Prime Minister, the Ministers of "War and Publio Instruction, the President of the Council of State and Governor of Belgrade, all of whom have signed a declaration that the voung King passed in every subject with brilliant success. The royal prodigy will be 15 years of age next month. The still younger monarch Alfonso, of Spain, aged 5, is said to be thriving Wonder fully under the system of education directly opposed to that followed in the case of King Alexander. Queen Regent Christiana be lieves in sound, wholesome food, and plenty of outdoor exercise for boys, and holds that her son's mind will be none the worse in a couple of vears time for having lain prac tically fallow for seven years. The German Emperor's five boys are still enjoying them selves at Felixstowe, and, among other things, are being taught how to play foot ball, a thing fearful to think of in hot sum mer weather. The German Empress plays lawn tennis every afternoon with her ladies in waiting, and" the entire party are in robust health.

The capture of "Wis bech, adi vision of Cambridgeshire, from the Tories, is one of the most notable of a series of Liberal triumphs since 18S6. The Liberals entered into the contest with little more hope than that they wonld considera bly reduce the majority of 1,087 by which the Tories won the seat at the last general election. But they have wiped that major ity entirely ont and put in their man by a majority of 260. The result has almost stupified the Tories, who were confident up to the last moment of keeping the seat. They had everything in their favor except a a good cause. Their candidate was a strong local man, and the polling took place at a period ol the year when the agricultural laborers are busy getting in the hay ban est. The Tories relied greatly upon the hay, and prayed unceasingly that the polling dav would be blessed with fine weather so that the laborers, who are almost all good Liberals, would have something better to do than worry their heads about elections. Great, therefore, was the Liberal joy when Thursday opened with delightfully ominous clouds, which ere long burst into a delicious downpour, making hnv-making impossible. The Liberal agent, Nash, positively rev eled in the rain, walked about in it bare headed to show how he loved it. "While the rain lasted three-fourths of the laborers voted for the Liberal candidate. The sun shine came in the afternoon, but it could not cancel the votes which its tardy arrival had allowed to be recorded. "Wisbech makes a Liberal net gain of 18 seats in the bye elections since 1886, count ing 3(5 on a division. The Liberal party in common secure a very eligible recruit in the successful candidate, Arthur Brand, son of Lord Hampton, an old friend of Mr. Glad stone and for many years Speaker of the House of Commons. A RAID 017 SILVER In This Country Will Next Be Mndo hy the Leading European Financiers. BT CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH. London, July 25. The stock market to day was dull and lifeless, scarcely any busi ness doing, with only trifling changes in quotations, but American railways were generally weak. There were no bullion operations at the bank to-day. Portuguese bonds are still offered for sale. Admiration must be expressed lor the masterly way in which the New York silver market Is being worked in the interest of European finances. Portugal requires between 7,000, 000 and 6,000,000 ounces of silver, and the loan to provide for it has already been contracted for. The silver is "being pro cured and coined as rapidly as possible and considerable ingenuity has been displayed in doing this without advancing the price of the metal. In the first place exports to India have been stopped by holding the London price at about one-half penny an ounce above the price of the Exchange so that remitters to India have been forced to buy consol drafts at 4 per cent rupee paper instead of silver. All arrivals of silver have been quietly picked up and this supply running out sil ver must now be taken from America. In doing this great care must be exercised and the bankers will employ every device to secure what is wanted without disturbing the New York market. Exports will be made if possible without disturbing the stocs; in the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com pany. Advantage will undoubtedly be taken to embrace every opportunity to de press the price of silver certificates" on the New York Stock Exchange, in order to se cure silver bullion at as low a price as pos sible.

DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS TO GO. Biff Fraflta Made by tho Catholic- Indian Bureau in Fast Tears. HORGAffSsFLAN WILL SATE MILLIONS rrlVOJI JLSTAPr CORBESPOITDElTr.J Washington, .July 25. Granting that Bishop Kain is right in his attack upon In dian Commissioner Morgan from the stand point of the Church, it must be admitted that as a question of policy he is pursuing a course that has been abandoned by his con ferees in this locality. The attacks on Mor gan never had the sanction of Cardinal Gib bons. They were begun without his knowledge, and the damage had been done before he had a chance to take a hand in it. The whole row is the result of bad temper and bad judgment on the part of some of the local priests, and in saying this I have before me the testimony to that ef fect from others of the local clergy who ut terly disagreed with their associates in the Catholic Indian Bureau, which has had charge of the Catholio Indian schools, and, quite as important, of the contracts for fur nishing the supplies. The trouble began with a clerk in the Indian Bureau. Soon after the advent of Mr. Morgan it was discovered that this clerk, a Catholio, but nevertheless a busy bodv, was carrying news from the Bureau to the Catholio Indian Bureau, derogatory to the management of the former in its rela tion to the Catholic schools. In many cases his statements were proved to be absolute falsehoods. Persisting in this he was dis missed, and as if to provoke the lesult that came to pass, the Catholio Bureau employed him and he proceeded to villify Mr. Mor gan and the whole management of the Indian Bureau. Morgan Enters a Protest. Mr. Morgan protested against this, and the Catholic Bureau promised that tho. ob jectionable individual should be dismissed, but he is retained to this day, and, though modest enough now, has been one of the most impudent persons who ever had the run of the departments, going personally to the Secretary and the Second Controller of the Treasury and making the most pre posterous and impudent demands in the in terests of the Catholics, and growing in sulting if his demands were not complied with. "Whether the Catholio Bureau had knowledge of his conduct in this respect I cannot say, but the fact remains that he is still in the employ of the Catholic Bureau after much of his foolish and disastrous work has come to the knowledge of that in stitution. Mr. Morgan has been greatly misrepre sented in this affair. He is not at all af flicted with popophobia. He is not an anti Catholio bigot, as Bishop Kain asserts, and he did not start out as soon as he was in stalled in office to abolish the Catholio schools. He recognized the good accom plished by the schools of both the Catholic and Protestant missions. He never has en couraged the dismissal of a single teacher on account of his or her religion, and I can not establish the fact that any teacher has been dismissed for such a reason. Well, then, what is all the row about? It is just this: How the Trouble Originated. Mr. Morgan discovered when he came here that both Protestants and Catholics had fat contracts with the Government for the furnishing of supplies to these schools. He believed that, as the Indians were the wards of the Government, the Government should sec to and control their education. He objected to a system that not only made the Government pay for the religious and denominational education of the Indian children, but which enabled the bureaus having charge of the schools to make scores, if not hundreds. of thousands of dollars, every year out of the contracts for sup plies. "While secular branches were taught in the schools, the main purpose of all of the schools, Protestant and Catholic, was to im press on the children that the only proper and decent way to go to heaven was by way of the denomination under whoso charge they were. They were even taught that the Government that supported them was a Godless Government, and not fit to super vise their education. Mr. Morgan did not put his wits to work to abolish the denominational schools, but did begin to multiply the purely Govern ment and secular schools rapidly. As fast as the Government schools afforded conveni ences for the Indian children contracts for the religious schools of the same locality were rejected. No embargo was put on re ligious teaching. The Commissioner merely said that secular education was furnished by the Government. If the churches desired to tench their peculiar doctrines to the chil dren, they must do it at their own expense, and make no more fat profits out of the Gov ernment. Ko Partiality Woa Shown. No distinction is made as to denomina tion. Catholio and Protestant are treated exactly alike. The Commissioner expects within a year or two to have the system of Government schools so general as to make the support of the denominational schools unnecessary on the part of the Government, and certainly this is a consummation that will be welcomed by all who believe in the common school system of the States, and that boys and girls should be permitted to grow up with a secular education that will enable them to reason out the religious problem to their own satisfaction. Mr. Morgan has already decided to ignore the bureaus of the denominations that have been making a fat thing out of Government contracts. He now deals directly with the schools. This of itself will effect a great saving. It is now a matter of business to make the contract and not of influence on the one hand to get as much out of the Government as possible. A number of con tracts have been made with the schools since the first of July, but not a single one for the next fiscal year with the bureaus of the churches; and this plan is said to be much more satisfactory than the other. Seventy Contracts in Force. I have been able to trace about 70 con tracts with the church bureaus which are still valid, but which will soon expire, nearly all of them about the middle or the month of August Upward of 50 of these are with the Catholic Indian Bureau, and the remainder are distributed among other denominations. The Catholio schools are the most profitable, as they have the most numerous attendance. They average about 75 pupils to the school, and for each pupil they are paid $27 50 per quarter, r $110 for the year, three months of which is spent by the children at their homes, thus render ing outlay for their maintenance unneces sary for that period. From this sum the children are clothed for the year and fed and housed for nine months, and the teach ers are also paid from it. But an Indian child is maintained with little expense, and' the teachers give their services for almost nothing in the interests of their respective denominations. " Thus a great profit is made for the churches interested. It is estimated that the Catholic Indian Bureau made a clear profit last year out of the schools of at least H75.000, and it wa3 not as good a year as some former ones. No wonder the churches are anxious to hang on to. such a "soft snap." In the aggregate millions of dollars have been poured in the treasuries of these churches in profits that should have gone to the establishment of Government schools, which could havo been operated for the more cost of maintaining teachers and chil dren. Church influence has prevented this and perpetuated the costly system of con tracts. A Close Watch on Finances. These profits havo been devoted to the building up of the institutions of the churches. The Catholio Indian Bureau has been verv business-like in their management of the financial affairs of the schools. It had its agent, who haunted tho Treasury Department, and the moment an account was known to bo in the hands of the auditor, pressure would be brought to bear to have it advanced ahead of all other accounts, that the bureau might gather in the shekels. From the auditor the account would be followed tip until it reached the final accounting officer, and there again it would be advanced probably as in the other cases by order of tho Secretory. It is as serted that Secretary "Windom never re fused to order his subordinates to adance one of these accounts at the request of the agent of the Catholic Bureau. Moreover, letters would be boldly written to the Secretary, telling him that certain institutions were "hard up," and that if he could do anything to hurry the settlement of the accounts of the Catholio sohools his action would be gratefully remembered. Letters are on file at the office of the Secre tary not only from members of the Catholio Bureau, but from men and women (Miss Kate Drexel frequently among the latter), in various parts of the country, urging the necessities of this or that institution and begging the hasty consideration of accounts that otherwise would have taken their place among the mass of accounts to be settled. The history of the profit-making contracts of the churches with the Government is in deed a strange one, and one day when it is written will be almost beyond belief. E.W.L. TIPS FOR GOOD HEALTH. Timely Advice as to What to Do in Warm Weather How It Is Best to Behave During Dog Days Some Pertinent Cau tions. This is the appropriate season to give ad vice respecting health. In the first place, some well-approved cholera mixture should be kept convenient, as the introduction of green apples and apple dumplings to unac customed stomachs is causing considerable cholera morbus. Hot days and oold nights are also assisting to disorganize stomachs. As to diet, it is of small consequence. If a man had the instinct of a dog and could take a mess of grass when he felt out of sorts he would never need a doctor, except in case of accident Eat what you like, if it agree with your stomach. It you have good sense and judgment drink whisky, wine or beer as a medicine, but if you cannot control your appetite let all alone. If a little weak in the upper story, shun stimulants as you would a viper in dog-days. Healthy people do not need stimulants. Keep your head cool, your feet warm and bowels open; eat when you are hungry, but do not gorge yourself for the mere pleasure of taste and you will be likely to nave just as good health in dogdays as at any other time. Some general directions, however, sanctioned by the experience of hoary antiquity may not be out of place here: In the first place do not lot your boy go swimming in dogdays, and as the season, owing to some peculiarities in the proces sion of the equinoxes is somewhat uncer tain, he should be kept out of the water from July 15 until November 15, and after that time he is not likely to care much for outdoor ablutions. Second Don't hoe early cabbage In dog days. It will cause them to become infested with vermin. Third If bitten by a dog between now and October 1 be sure and have the dog killed the first thing, this being more im portant than the cauterization of the wound. Finally, after observing all the rules you ever heard of, make a special effort to keep your conscience clear and you will be meas urably happy, provided you bear in mind that virtue is its only reward, and do not expect too much from an ungrateful Re public.

It was a touching scene, says the steward, to see the husband and wife locked in each otners" arms, both crying bitterly. It was hard to think that for the first time in many years a family had been united only to be torn apart in a very few days. The husband and father pleaded for leniency to his wife and children, but the commission had to obey the law and his familv was compelled to remain on board the snip. Mr. Armrod explained that his family would not beeome public charges, as he was earning $2 a dav, and his brother, who was also earning a salary every week, agreed to stand by him. May Go Back to England With Them. Of the seven children it is claimed that three have worked in tho cotton mills in England and could obtain work in Fall River. Mr. Armrod says tnat it his family is not allowed to land he will have to give up his work and return to England with them. Another English family on board is the Miller family, the father, mother and three children. They were sent for by a son-in-law, Peter Hammel, a farmer, of Granby, who says he is perfectly able to take care of them, but the fact that he paid their pas sage prevents them from landing.

A .GILDEDjeftTIOi, TJufaithful Historians Made Lincoln's Address at Get tysburg Great. IT WAS . COMMOIf -PLA0E. Tho Occasion Did Not Give -Him Opportunity to Enthuse. DIONITAUIES WHO WERE PEESE5T. The Impressions Made hy the Set Oration of Edward Everett. AMUSING EPFOETS OF A PndTOGRAPHEE Cwnrrrxs job tub dispatch. I have before me a suggestion taken from some newspaper to the effect that the writer should put into print his impressions of Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. It was my duty to report the speech on behalf of the press, to sit at the side of Lincoln as ha pronounced the immortal words, and writs them down in shorthand as they came from his lips. My memory of the event is as clear as it could hope to be after so many years. In soma idle, silent hours I hava gone over the memoranda made at the time. So far as these may serve I will tell tho story as it rests with me. The celebration of Gettysburg took placo on Thursday, the 19th of November, 1863, a ittle more than four months alter -tha amous battle was fought I have not been, to Gettysburg since. "When I was there tha traces of the terrible strife were every where, no gentle summer as yet to cover the torn fields with tenderness and bloom. Since then, as I read, it ha been largely splashed and sprinkled with monuments, as if any monument could mark Marathon, or any bewildering labyrinths Or entabla tures commemorate the Mighty Fact that found immortality and consecration at Get tysburg. The Presidontal Party. "When we reached Gettysburg the rainy -afternoon settled into a soggy November night The town was in chaos over the new invasion, and a corner in a tavern was a crowning mercy. The Presidental party came in about sunset, and we were all on hand to do them honor. They were a strag. gled, hungry set Lincoln, with that weary smile which a poet might have read as a forecast of destiny; Seward, with an essen tially bad hat; John Hay, in attendanca upon the President, and much to ba troubled by the correspondents, handsome as a peach, the countenance of extreme fouth; Usher, Secretary of the Interior, if remember, with heavy, reserved features, and a capacity for silence; Dennison, of Ohio, smiling and courteous; gruff Tod, from Ohio; Pierpont, of Virginia; Mont gomery Blair, with his face in which fanat icism was tempered by enthusiasm; John. "W. Forney, in the flush of his winning manhood, Secretary of the Senate, and rather in the lead of the "Washington party. Lincoln became invisible to us, and could not be enticed even by serenading parties, who were bewildering the night with, musio. Seward was more amenable, and as he came to the door I recall my trouble in reporting him. Nothing better than thenote book and a stone step. Irememberthe impression it made upon me. "What a voice for tha Ghost in 'Hamlet,'" my first thought as the Secretary, speaking fa a slow, artificial, metallic tone, threw nis sentences lika clanging oracles into the night Blending of Seer and Pugilist. It was on optimistic speech Seward I should say in a temper; how he had seen it all; how much better it would have been if his advice had been taken 40 yeara before: with a great deal about our distressed and erring brethren, of whom so many had been. slain on those hillsides, and what an im mense country we should have when this last of all rebellions was suppressed. This was the blending of the seer with the pugil ist which those of us who were radical and impatient with his conservatism saw ia Seward those days. I remember that I did as well as I could with the speech, and was studying my notes mournfully with a view to transcription, when Seward's secretary gladdened us with the news that it had been prepared before hand and given to the pres3 associations. Seward's speech done, the crowd must hava Forney, who spoke with Pennsylvania en thusiasm. His theme was the war, and es pecially what Douglas had done to bring Democratic support to the Union. Tha proud, gallant Forney! The banner of tha dead Douglas was in his keeping, and it was ever unfurled. Curtin came with his party from Harrisburg. He was our Governor and a star of the first magnitude, having just won a notable political victory in his re-election, and therefore an influence which these "Washington people might as well treat with civilitv. The relation! of Curtin toward the "Washington people were those of criticism at least. "A good deal of Cameron about this administration, and wise politicians, who do not like being trodden upon, must wait and see." He was host, streaming, spontaneous in his courte sies. With him were "Wayne MacVeagh and a brilliant staff "Wayne, then the ris ing hope of the exuberant young Republi cans of Pennsylvania, had led the party to victory, was much sought after at county fairs and gatherings which yearn for elo quence, and might nave Decome a wretcnea party boss, or sdfee other dreadful possi bility, had he not switched off toward re form and scholarship and the less truculent pursuits of the law. Quay Was There Too. He gave us a rattling good speech at tha serenade, which "I helped to cheer. "With him a silent young official named Quay, silent then as now, but to become the causa of speech to a considerable extent among others. I think I was indebted to John Hay. assuredly to some kind friend, for a special audience with Edward Everett "We o? this generation do not realize the spaca which Edward Everett filled, at least in tha imagination of the younger men. He was the embodiment of a noble and stainless fame. "Webster, Clay, Calhoun gone, he was the last of the orator". No more great men left to us, only Everett He had wel comed Lafayette; "his scholarship wasour envy and admiration; he had been the friend of Byron, the guest of "Walter Scott, Minis ter to England, Secretary of State, and we, even we, were permitted to see him. "We were critical, some of us, not always friendly to theLincolns, the Sewards, the Seymours, who swarmed around, but here was one who Itad outlived calumny, misrepresentation, even fear and hope who had belonged to the serene days, when patriotism was hand ia hand with pence one almost in touch, with the Revolution. He was only one re move from "Washington, whose glory had been the theme of his noblest oration. Tha fame of Everett is now somewhat faded. Ia the tapestries of our Pantheon the war colors darken all others with their fiery splendor; he has gone to be with Madisoa and Rufus King. But to us at Gettysburg Everett had an apostolic fame and I know with what awe one of that company cams into the presence of the sublimeand venera ble man. Everett Had 3Iet Lord Byron. Everett had'not been visible at the sere nodings and other noisy festivals. Thai A
