"While the great military powers on the
continent of Europe are maneuvering hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers,?England Is
making a prodigious fuss with about 10,000
men who have been mobilized with much
cfiort and who have been marching up and
down the hills of Hampshire all this week.
It has been an eventful week for the British
army, and the newspapers are full of gor
geously colored descriptions of the march
ing and counter-marching written by special
correspondent who are about as much qual
ified to speak about military matters as the
President of the Peace Society.
The Kntish rrnncu vers have, as usual,
been conducted on the German plan, which
the best critics long ago pronounced entire
ly unsuitable to 'Rarf.ire against savage or
terni-civilied foes, which is usually the
style of iichtin; which falls to the lot of
Tommy Atkins. There is an umpire in
chief and numerous assistant umpires, who
spend the holidays in galloping about the
field of battle and looking at things through
glasses.
Then there is a big balloon, in the car of
which sits an engineer, an officer who is
the envy of the entire army, because he
alone feels anything of the cool breezes and
is shaded all day by the great silken globe
abo e him. The balloon so far has been of
no practical use, but it is kept aloft every
day, because balloons are being
used in the Trench, German, Russian
and Austrian maneuvers. The lateness
of the han est has absurdly circumscribed
the maneuvering ground, and the officers
complain that the enthusiasm of their men
frequently received disheartening checks.
Melds containing standing crops must not
be crossed, and as fox coverts must be held
sacred, soul-stirring charges are often
stopped short and most cunning strategems
brought to naught.
These drawbacks, added to the fact that as
the opposing armies are without any badge
of distinction, and constantly mistaking
friends for enemies, have rendered the
maneuvers useless and ridiculous. One ex
pert critic in the WhilihaU Iievicut is moved to
denounce what he describes as "this annual
autumnal maneuvering buffooneries" in
vigorous language, and to draw gloomy
pictures of the Russian conquesU-of India-'
and Australia.

The Alleged Flan of n Military Surprise on
Russia's l'art.
Beklin, Sept 12. The Hamburger Corre
tpmiknt contains a sensational article, en
titled "The Cossack Stroke on the Bos
phorus." According to this article, Russia
meditates a surprise to Constantinople by a
conjoint landing of 30,000 troops in Eu
ropean and Asiatic Turkey. The Bophorus
forts, it is said, are to be attacked from the
rear, and the approach of hostile fleets is to
be presented bj torpedoes, while it is calcu
lated that a Russian torpedo fleet could en
ter site Golden Horn at night and com
pletely destroy the Turkish fleet, and that
the whole could be accomplished in 24
hours.
The article details experiments made in
embarking and landing troops on the Black
Sea, conducted under Gen. Boop, in 1883,
end the Etudyirg of the ground by Eussian
othcers on the t ot, in the guise of searchers
for Xihihsts, traders, antiquarians, etc.
Complete plans for everything are said to
be ready and only the command from St
Petersburg is now needed.

Rome, Sept 12. The negotiations for the
commercial alliance continue at Munich. It
is reported that the agitation in, Austria
Hungary against further concessions to
Italy has quieted, and also that Germany
is disposed to make every possible con
cession to induce Italy to join the alliance.
Among persons w ell informed it is openly
declared, not onlv that the object of the
alliance is political, but that if Italy joins
it itmay be at the sacrifice of her com
mercial interests,, notwithstanding the con
cessions that may be made to her. It is also
reported that the Italian Minister of the
Treasury has spent several days with Leon
Bay, who is said to be charged by the Gov

BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, Sept 12. Mrs. Besant's mod
esty has so far prevented her from formally
resuming the mantle of the late lamented
Blavatsky, but she is already dealing
briskly in that astute woman's stock in
trade. Last night she lectured for the first
time in public since her open rupture with
the Secularists, and a large audience assem
bled to listen to her. She talked well, but
the majority of her hearers were plainly un
able to follow her in her explanations of
theosophy, which were as fanatic and as full
of jarpon as a chapter from the works of the
late Blavatsky.
Mrs. Besant claimed that she was entitled
tobeliefbecauseshehad never knowingly
told 4 lie, and seemed hurt when somebody
in the hall laughed at such a pretension.
That'irreverent person may have been Dr.
Arthur Hopkirk, who enjoyed the honor of
Madam Blavatsky's acquaintance, and who
writes as follows to the evening newspapers
to-day:
Whatever may bo our opinion of Madam
Blavatskv's pure life, there is no doubt that
sho certainly had not a puie mouth. We all
know that our army swore terribly In Fland
ers, but slie could have given that army or
a modern draeoon long odds and still have
won easilr. Mr. W T. Stead could bo a wit
nei.s to tliis if ho chose, as ho used to go ro
licrSundayaftcrnoon receptions atXorwood
before sho went to Avenuo road, in order,
perhaps, to be near those of pure life and
pure mouth. As to thoosopny, it Is well

Asyriologist, 11. Boscawen: "This miser
able creed without hope: this wretched,

London, Sept. 12. "With improved
weather and sunshine, beet roots are pro
gressing well everywhere. This is es
pecially true as regards quality, which
seems to be superior to that of the 1890
crop. Favorable forecasts must be based
on continued fine weather, because the
weight, as yet, isbelowthat of 1890, though
the quality makes up for the weight
Some factories are working in Moravia
and Hungary, but the bulk will not be in
operation until October. It is expected
that Germany will produce a yield almost
equal to that of 1890; that Austria's yield
will be in excess of that of 1890, and that
there will be a great increase in the yield
in France.
A German Victory in Africa.

AUSTIN BID WEIL'S i CHAHCES.
The Noted Bank Robber May Bs Released
From Prison Next Spring.
BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, Sept 12. Another effort is be
ing made to arouse public sympathy on be
half of Austin Bidwell, who was sentenced
in 1872 with others to penal servitude for
life for the biggest fraud ever perpetrated
on the Bank of England. The Home Secre
tary's refusal to allow George Bidwell, who
was released on customary ticket of leave in
1886, to come to England, was based on the
belief that he intended to lecture about his
treatment in prison. Such a proceeding
would bo contrary to the conditions on
which the convict was set at liberty; but
he would not be" interfered with by
the police if he came here merely to visit
his brother in prison or to see friends. If
George Bidwell be well advised, however,
he will not leave America, because his
presence here would do his brother much
more harm than good.
Rightly or wrongly he fs credited with
the possession of something like 50,000,
the proceeds, which were never traced, of
the great frauds, so that his claim to have
led a godly life since he left prison, and to
live only to see his brother restored to
liberty, sound oddly in official ears here.
There'is good reason to believe that Austin
Bidwell will be released some time next
year, unless his zealous brother should spoil
his chances by intemperate public advocacy
or another wild attempt at obtaining the
prisoner's freedom by force or bribery.

Battle for the Old State Pike
HELD BY THE VALLEY BAILWAY
The- Form an Organization and Eaise

PEOSPECTS OP A NEW TBACTIW LINE
The objection to good roads In Allegheny
county seems insuperable. The Supervis
ors, notwithstanding the agitation of sev
eral years in the press and in legislative
halls, are, as a rule, still cobbling up the
paths, (most of the roads are but little
more), as their fathers and grandfathers did
before them, and when they fill n mud-hole
with rough sandstone, they make
two more holes, one on each side
of the one filled. This might
in time make a continuous stone
road were it not that the material used only
wears a short time before it is disintegrated,
so that abominable patching goes on con
tinuously. The citizens of Penn township, however,
have been awake to the importance of sen
sible work for some time past, and now they
have under consideration the reopening of
the State road from "Verona to Brilliant, a
highway built under the supervision
of road architects who knew some
thing of their business. The agitation
may have another good effect. It is charged
by some people of the Eighteenth ward
that its streets have net gotten for
years the attention from the city authori
ties that they should have had, and that
they are really in worse condition in jwet
weather than most country roads. The
connection of the ward with a good country
road, a fine macadamized one, giving an ex
cellent drive through a beautiful country
may stimulate improvement within the
city limits.
"WILL FIGH THE VALLEY ROAD.
Supervisors Henry Kersten and Thomas
Sanderson last week called a meeting of the
citizens of Penn township to take action on
the reopening of the old State road, and the
meeting was held in the Mt Hope school
house, about three miles across the river
from Claremont, yesterday afternoon at '2
o'clock, Uriah Ryan presiding. Like
rural meetings generally, many of the
people didn t exactly agree as to
how they should go about the
search of a remedy, but there wasn't
any doubt that they all felt they had
a grievance against the Allegheny "valley
Bailroad Company. Some favored forma
tion of several organizations, a sort of fed
eration without any central'authority, with
the understanding that all having the same
object in viSw all would move harmonious
ly and as a whole. This idea was success
fullycombated by several present, includ
ing William H. Dunn, of Wildwood, who
proposed the following, which was adopted:
"Whebeas, "We, the citizens residing along
the Allegheny river, are, as we believe, to
be deprived of our rights, insomuch as that
we have no wagon road enabling ua to travel

agree to pay the sum opposite our names.
"WILL HOLD CITIZENS' MEETINGS.
The first thing decided upon after the
adoption of the above declaration, pledges,
etc., was to agree to meet again in two
weeks, and there will be a series of meet
ings held along the line, beginning at
Verona and extending to the city limits.
The discussion yesterday was informal, but
it all tended to one point, and few taking
.control and insisting on action rather than
talk. These committed the meeting to an
agreement to secure counsel, and if the Al
legheny Valley Eailread Company did not
keep a contract said to have been made
some time in the fifties, an effort would be
made to do it
One speaker said if he wanted to go to
Aspinwall, three miles distant, he must
either ford the Allegheny river or go around
by East Liberty to get to the Sharpsburg
bridge travel eight miles to make three.
A LONG-rOBGOTTEN CONTEACT.
Mr. Dunn stated that his understanding
of the matter was that the Allegheny Valley
Bailroad would in some way furnish another.
The latter part of the obligation, however,
has been forgotten by the company.
The condition in which the objectors are
placed is much the sameas that of the
people of old Middletown, now-Coraopolis,
who for a century traveled south toward the
confines of "Washington county and marched
up a bill and down again, the hill being 400
feet high and the route thereby three miles
further than could have been had along the
river where the ground is almost level the
whole distance. Apparently Coraopolis
hasn't awakened yet and now the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railway owns the ground on
the square and the onlv resource left is
another bridge to Neville. Island. The
difference between the places is that
one can stand such a condition SO
years but chafes under it, while the other
has never had get-up enough in it to build
bridges over Montour and Moon runs at a
cost possibly of 8500 for the two.
It is supposed by some members of the
"Old State Road Reopening Organization"
that if fhey succeed an electric railway will
be run from the end of the Citizens' Traction
line to Verona, and while some
of the O. S. R. R. O. are op
posed to such line and had rather have
the road for a fine driveway, yet they say
the electric road would be much preferable
to the present arrangement Of course the
railway company may have a double reason
for opposition. In the first place the
present state of affairs forces the people to
depend on the railway for transit and in the
second the giving up of the old State road
would be somewhat expensive, but there
would be some compensating advantages.

Two Women Try to Pull an Infant
iTjart on a Boston Street,
IS A STRUGGLE FOB POSSESSION.
A Police Solomon Adjusts the Case in an
Amicable Manner.
60RE0WFTJL TALE OP THE POOR MOTHER
BOSTON, Sept 12. A mother trying to
kidnap her own child. Another woman
trying to hold the child for the payment of
a board bill. And two women using the 2-year-old
baby in lieu of a rope for a tug-of-war.
These three different views describe
the spectacle which met the eyes of passers
by on Tremont street, in front of King's
Chapel, this afternoon.
It was a noisy incident The mother had
the baby by the legs: the other woman
clung to it by the shoulders. Neither
would release her hold, and the frightened
screams of the child quickly attracted the
attention of a crowd.
"I.wantmy child," screamed the younger
woman, between her gasps for breath, as
she tugged awav.
"You sha'n't'have her," gritted the elder
lady, as with determined grasp she main
tained her hold upon the little one.
Then the crowd grew interested and took
sides, although the weight of sympathy
seemed to be with the young mother, and
further complications might have ensued
but for the appearance of Patrolman
Maynes, of station 2.
THE POLICE SOLOMON.
His arrival was the signal for a cessation
of hostilities. The little one was dropped,
and both sides entered upon voluble ex
planations, which ho cut snort by inviting
the entire party to go with him to station 2,
where matters could be adjusted. It was a
unique party which presently stood before
Captain Hemmenway's desk the, mother
weeping and angry, the other woman flashed
and defiant," the baby frightened and tearful
The policeman quickly stated the case, and
then mutual and instantaneous explanations
began.
"I want my baby," exclaimed tha little
woman.
"Well, why dont you pay its board?" re
torted the other.
"I did as long as I could," was the re
ply, "but you've got no right to keep it
from me."
irWell, you've got no right to snatcb it
from me on the street," was the quick re
sponse. Then the captain commanded silence and
propounded a series ot questions, the an
swers to which revealed one of those little
domestic tragedies so common and yet so
uncommon, as the pretty little woman told
her tearful story.
THE SAME OLD STORY.
A few years ago she married a young fel
low, who shortly after their union turned
out to be a drunkard and scamp. She lived
with him as long as she could, and then left
him to begin a hard battle for life for her
self and her two little ones. That was two
years ago. She hired a room on a quiet
street at the South End and kept her oldest
child with her, while her infant she placed
in the care of a woman in Wakefield, who
advertised to board children.
The mother obtained work in a rest aurant,
and out of S3 a week and her board under
took to clothe herself and her little ones,
pay for her room and give 52 a week for the
board of her baby. For six months she suc
ceeded. Then a brief spell of sickness re
tarded her efforts, and she found herself un
able to make all ends meet so she ceased
the payment of ?2 a week for the little one's
board until such time as she should be able
to continue it
That time has never yet appeared. Her

other little one sickened, and her earnings
were swallowed in bills for doctors and
medicines. Her brave fight for her child's
life was without avail, however, and a few
weeks ago the little one died. Heart
broken, but not crushed, the young mother
again resumed the battle.
GBABBED HEK CHILD.
This afternoon she saw her baby going
down Tremont street in care of the lady
with whom she had placed it two years ago,
and the maternal instinct could not resist
the desire to caress those red cheeks,
lighted up by a pair of blue eyes and
crowned with curly, yeUow hair. She
caught the child in her arms and was about
to kiss it, when the Wakefield woman rec
ognized her and, thinking she intended to
take away the baby by force, resisted to the
best of her ability. Then the scene on the
street ensued.
The "Wakefield woman was then allowed
to tell her story, which was that the
mother's statement about placing the child
in her care was true, but that she had re
ceived no money for the support of the baby
for the last year and a halt, and that the
little one had so jjrown into her heart that
she wished to adopt it and would give it a
good home.
"When both the principals had finished,
Captain Hemmenway, in a few pungent
words, managed to convey a great deal of
meaning. He suggested an amicable a ad
justment of the matter, and the child's
parent agreed to go to "Wakefield next Sun
day and receive the little one, and to pay
$1 SO out of her $3 weekly stipend until the
board bill of the little one shall have been
cancelled.
Then the "Wakefield woman with the baby
started for home, the little one gazing with
wondering eyes over the shoulder of its
bearer at its mother, who, with red eyes
and sorrowing heart, turned her steps in
the opposite direction.
