Xev Yokit., Jan 16. The annual dinner
of the Reform Club look place to-night at
Sherry's. E. Ellery Anderson, the presid
ing officer, in a brief address extended a
creeting to the banner-bearers of tariff re
form, and hoped the choice of the Democ
racy of the nation for the Presidency would
be the choice of the people of the State of
Now York. He then introduced Senator
William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, who re
sponded to the toast of ''The Presidency in
1K12."
Mr. Vilas recommended organization, the
use of all proper means, the enlistment of
nil justifiable influences. He deprecated
impractical methods, and said Democrats
always would be outmatched in fraudulent
arts by Republicans. Applause. He
told of the many ugly things for wbich the
Republican party was responsible, finally
charging them with flooding the country
with S2 hills.
Tariff Itpform snd "l!virXot Twins.
The way to win the National Government
is the good, old-fashioned Democratic nay
of honestly deserving that trust at the hands
of the people. Tarifl reform and free silver

Brini-ix, Jan. 16. In the course of the
discussion in the BeichstHg to-day on the
question of a srant for a German exhibit at
the World's Fair at Chicago, Dr. Yon Bot
tenbnrg. Secretary to the Chancellor, said
that, while a larce number of manufacturers
in some trades, such as silk and leather,
would be represented at the fair, others,
notably the owners of iron works, had re
fused to send exhibits.
Thi, Dr. Von Rottenburg said, was a
wrong .policy, especially in view of the
German Interests in the South American
trade, whidi trade the United States Gov
ernment is aiming to obtain under reci
procity treaties s part of the principle of
the Monroe doctrine. German manufactur
ers, he declared, wonld best consult their
own interests by sending exhibits to Chi
cago, where their products would be seen
by South American and other traders
throughout the orld.
Uefendirs the McKinley Bill.
The ill feeling acainst America onaccount
of the McKinley bill is all wrong. Every
State has a right to protect its own interests.
Other speakers took similar views, and the
grant was passed unanimously.
The House then proceeded wilh the de
bate on the budget. Dr. Witte said he
hoped the Government would come to a de
cision at an early date concerning the pro
jected international exhibition in Berlin.
Dr. Von Bqlteuburg vaguely promised that
the Government would favor the organi
zation ofa general exhibition. The nebulous
condition of the project prevented him from
making any more definite response.
The industrial associalionsdifler as to,
whether the exhibition should be national
or international. Some in opposition to
any exhibit at all were naturally indifferent.
The promoters of the inteni.ition.il scheme
have been strengthened by the action of the
Berlin Chamber of Commerce in declaring
in favor of a.i international ex ibition, to
be held in 1896. Emperor William also sup
ports the international scheme, and. thus
reinforced, its promoters look forward with
confidesc- lo.Bcrlin succeeding Chicago as
the place of holding a World's Fair.
'ot to CorHict Vt ith the C'hlcaco Fair.
The date first proposed for holding the
exhibition, 1894, was considered to encroach
upon Chicago's date, and )t is believed that
1896, he date now proposed, will allow of
the lapse of a prudent inter? n!.
The Foreign Office here expects a crisis
shortly tlut will prohablv lead to war be
tween" Servia and Bulr-Tin, hut no icir is
entertained of active Rusmpii intervention.
The Bulgarian Government considers the
time opportune lor bringing the dilicrences
between Bulgaria and Servia to a climax,
so it has opened the ball again by notifying
Servia that it will no Linger "permit the
gathering of Buli:ari.n refugees in the
frontier forts at Picrot, Xisch and Vclika
Plana. M. StabulotI, the Bulgarian Prime
Minister, intimated to the Germpn and
Austrian Governments the necessity of Bul
garia taking military mcasuies on the
lrontier t- protf ct the country from sudden
nttpek. The Austrian agent at Belgrade
warned the Government that Servia would
be held responsible for breaking the peace
of Europe unless the demands of M. Sta
btilofl were conceded.
Fcrvia's IWronse Unsasfactory.
The reply of the Servian Government
oilers to expel the refugees if it is proved
that thev are conspiring to make a raid
upon Bulgaria. This response is held to be
nnsa'islaetorv, and Bulgarian preparations
are being ticcelerated. The best chance of
preserving the peace lies in the weakened
state of Itussia. which is causing Servia to
disband and dispel !rom the cocntry groups
of Riisso-3:ilgarians still supported by
Russian money.
The deficit in the Prussian budget an
nounced yesterday by Dr. Miquel, Minister
of Finance, to the Landtas, is chiefly due
to the State railway account, in which there
is a deficit of 42,000,000 marks below the
estimated returns. Dr. Miquel proposes to
enforce stricter economy in the railway ad
ministration, and less money will be spent
on public buildings. He, also, hopes
through the new income tax to increase the
revenue 7,000,000 marks. The disclosure of
the bad financial situation has made a uis
agrecable impression. Dr. Miquel is not
blamed except by the opponents ot his sys
tem. lti?id Economy, Exc-pt for the Army.
Rigid economy is now being extended to
all the departments depending on the
Finance Ministry. The workmen who have
been discharged from the railv ays, and a
large number of other men whoare suffer
ing through the limitation of the expendi
tures, are making an outcry. "
Minister Zedlitz' education bill has been
presented to the Landtag and confirms the

The note of tho Swiss Government reject
ing the French proposals for a commercial

cessions similar to those which Switzerland
has accorded Germany and Austria, ignores
what those countries have accorded ir re

minimum rate of a prohibitive tariff on
Swiss products.
The collapse of the printers' strike is ab

London, Jan. 1G. The .V. James GazHte
recently recorded, with unconcealed satis
faction, as an argument against women's
suffrage in this country, the alleged fact
that the number of women voting in
the school elections at Boston had rapidly
declined from nearly 20,000 in 1888 to 6,000
in 1&9L Mrs. Fawcett, Secretary of the
Woman's Suffrage Society and widow of the
famous blind professor and politician, has
promptly silenced the scoffing editor by
producing American testimony to show that
except as compared with the specially ex
citing election inlSSK, thenumber of women
voting forschool commissioners in -Boston
has not fallen off
As Mrs. Fawcett is a-Liberal Unionist in
politics here she incidentally utilizes "the
specially exciting election in 1888" as an
argument against home irule for Ireland.
Joseph Chamberlain did the same thing
iu a speech at Glasgow, three years ago, so
there is some excuse for Mrs. Fawcett.

Queen Vlc' Redcoats May Havo to Teach
Blacksklns a Wesson Consul General
Johnston's Terribly Bad Mess of the
Slave Trade A ffUlr.
rnr CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Loxdonv J-in. 16. Consul General
Johnston, who has often sneered at the
colonizing methods of the Germans in
Africa, has apparently taken a leaf out of
their book and has inndc poor use of it. He
has been defeated by the Arabs, and there is
for the moment nn uneasy feeling abroad
that "British prestige" may have to he
vindicated in the customary fashion, by
sending red coats and blue jackets to shoot
down the blacks. But public opinion here
will not allow the Government to enter
upon another little war for the sake of
British African traders or Consul General
Johnston.
This gentleman claims, of course, that he
has been acting against the infamous slave
traders. That is the usual, pretext when
things go wrong in Africa, and either with
the Germans or JSnglishmen. In this in
stance, however, there is ample room for
the suspicion that Johnston has been pur
suing methods which were recently de
nounced in the case of Dr. Karl Peters.
Johnston was sent out to organize 11 govern
ment, and he was given a force of Indian
sjkhs nd empowered to enlist natives as po
licemen. It was his business to cultivate
fricndshiD with the native potentates,
and not to inquire too curiously into the
slave question, which most sensible people
believe will gradually settle itself as the
country becomes opened tip to Europeans
and the outlet at the coast to the markets is
more securely blocked. But this was evi
dently too prosaic business for Consul Gen
eral Johnston, who is known to possess "im
perial instincts." The result is that he has
gone to war and upset things generally.
If allowed reasonable time and a fair
scope, Consul General Johnston may be
trusted to embroil himself Vith the Ger
mans or Portuguese, or both.

Windsor, Ost., Jan. 1(5. A story which
would make Rider Haggard turn pnle with
en-vy Is being circulated in Windsor hy
Harry Jr. Poussett, a well-known busiaess
man of Samix Mr. Ponssett's romantic
talc, which is well substantiated, goes back
into the dim vistas of the past, lonrf before
the British conquest of Canada, when Fron-
tcnac and other French military pioneers
ascended the St. Lawrence and founded the
lort and settlement of Frontenac at its
source.
Tliey fouud the wild and minntainous
icorutry lying back from the river swarm
ing wilh Indians, and no Indian sopeor
thai he could not show ornaments of gold
and silver cnougli to make a white man's
mouth WRter.
The Frenchmen were dazzled with. the
display and mad? every effort to ascertain
the source of so much" wealth, but beyond
vague hints abiut a mammoth cave, lined
and roofed with precious metals, thev were
unable to learn anything. Some of the sol
diery, tradition savs, went so fur ns to seize
au Indian, carry him to a lonclyraviue, and
put him to torture, but no cruelty could
drag the secret from him.
A Tradition Among the Indians.
AVith the advance of civilization the In
dians grew more tenacious of their secret,
and to younger generations of red men it
was not confided for fear that the wily
whites might force or cajole it from them.
In the course of years it became only a
memory, told at camp fires by old men, to
gether with the. talcs of the Wer.digo and
legends of old wars and conquests when tho
world was young.
The story that is exciting Windsor at
present is that the cave has been found. On
the Monday following last Christmas a
miner ran a vein of silver up against a.
cleft in the side of a roclcy hill on .1 farm
recently purchased by a syndicate headed
by A. P. Poussett, Q. C, which was choked
with brush and overgrown by raspberry
bushes. Forcing his way through the
opening the miner found himself in n nar
row passage, walled with jasrged rocks and
descending at an angle of 45. He climbed
down for about 15 feet, and then the dark
ness became so dense that be returned.
The engineer in charge of the works was
immediately informed, and, together with
the foreman and the discoverer, proceeded
to investigate. The pasragc, which grew
wider as it progressed, extended downward
about 100 feet into the bowels of the earth.
In the steeper pliers steps had been rudely
cut out of the rock. Toward the end the
incline became more easy, and ended in a
species of flat vestibule, leading through an
arch into a much larger chamber. The
safety lamns borne by the explorers scarcely
sered to illumine the pitchy darkness, and
so it was found necessary to procure an
electric lamp of great power, which was oc
casionally used at the works.
A Brilliant, DhztH'ic; Spectacle.
When this was lighted nn extraordinary
sight met the eves of the miners. Thev
found themselves standing upon a floor of
rock, about 40 feet in all directions, from
which boulders and debris had "been re
moved and lav in piles near the walls. The
latter were of pink and white marble, of
most exquisite quality. On one pauel, cut
into the marble, were fhe names: C. P.
Mevers, John Smith, 1860.
Strewed upon the floor were several min-
intr tools, a smelting pot and some worn out
uiuiub lur uuuut?ucikiii!. iicir uuir mere
lay some stone spear andaxheads, and other
Indian iiistrunientr.- In one corner was a
skeleton robed in skins and feathers. Around
the walls rude chinks were cut, and the
remnants of pine torches in some of them
showed that they had been used for lighting
purposes.
But it was not until the lalnp was turned
upward that the riches of the, cave became
apparent. The light shone on myriads of
small stalactites alistening with silver,
while between them veins of gold and
copper and patches of mica and iron pyrites
threw hack dazzling combinations of color
that rivaled thocave of Aladdin in their
magnificence.
Voyage on a Pahtrrnnoan Tinke.
About .s0 feet from the entrance was a
sheet of limnid water, extending ns far as
the eye could see. A dugout, made of an
oak tree, lay upon a shelf of rock. Satisfy
ing themselves thnt it was sc3wortny, the
explorers entered it and punted their way
across this subterranean lake for a
distance of over 300 feet. There they
fonnd another platform, leadinc into a
second chamber fully 300 feet in circumfer
ence. Here the roof was not more than 20
feet hich, and like tho high chamber, was
covered ivith stalactites about nine inches
long. In one place the miners were able to
reach the roof. They picked off about 12
pounds of the ore, which on being assayed
subsequently was found to contain '511
worth of pure mstal.
From this chamber low passages branched
off in various directions, but whether they
lead to similar chambers is not yet known".
An cflort was made to keep the discovery
secret until the whole cave could be ex
plored andsarveved and more land acquired,
but the story leaked out throujh indiscre
tion and farm lands in the vicinity have
sprang up to fabulous prices. The cave i3

TWO BOATS BREA1? AWAY.
Tliey Float 25 Miles Down the Kiver From
Cincinnati, and One Sinks.
Cincinnati, Jan. 16. There was a panic
at 2 o'clock this morning when the steamer
New- Mary Houston and the New Orle.ins
wharf boat, lashed together, broke away
lrom their mooring at the foot ot Sycamore
street. The stone pier of the suspension
bridge was struck by.the drifting vessels,
also the pier of the Chesapeake and Ohio
bridge, but fortunately no .serious damage
was done. The men asleep on the wharf
boKt were awnkened in time to jump oil as
thev passed the steamer Scotia.
The Mary Housto 1 was safely landed by
the steamer.Wori.um below the month of
Tanners creek, opposite Petersburg, Ky., 25
miles down the river. She is not damaged,
except the loss of the smoke stack, aud all
on board are safe. The wharf boat sank be
low the mouth of the Big Miami up to the
roof. It is lying straight, and efforts will
made to remove the freight. About 500
tons of freight were on the wharf boat.
Somebody Got ISiittlcd.
A general alarm of fire was foolishly sent
in from box 3, in Allegheny, about 1 "o'clock
this morning. A banel of lubricating oil
caught fire'in sonic manner at Oliver's mill,
in Woods' Ran, and set fire to two others
near by. Fear was felt that the flames
would spread and an alarm that called out
the entire Allegheny Fire Department was
sent in from the box, but by the time the
engines got there the fire was out, the oil
having been consumed without communi
cating to the mill in anv-placc. Nobody
seemed toinoW'Who sent in the alarm.

Wnm: Plains, X. Y., Jan. m
Special' Fred Gebhard arrived here to
day for the purpose, it is said, of receiving
the treatment at the Keely Institute. He
was accompanied by a friend, who will re
main with him during his stay. Mr. Geb
hard was met at the depot by his sister, Mrs.
Xeilson, of New York. He' denied himself
to a reporter who had sent his card up to
him. It is a question w hether he will take
kindly to thQ,bi-chloride of gold treatment.
It has ben ascertained that for several
weeks Mrs. Keilson and Mr. "Vvse, his
cousin, have tried to influence Mr. Gebhard
to undergo treatment, at the institute, but
though they succeeded in getting him to
come here by persfstent urging, they did
not get a direct promise from him to undergo
the treatment.
They believed that if they conld get him
here they could manage the "remaining de
tails. It is said at the Bronson Hotel that
if Mr. Gebhard submits to the treatment he
will be treated in his apartments by Dr.
Haynnr, oHhe institution, who Jivesat the
hotel and is a personal frierd of Mr. Vyse.
Mr. Gebhard returned to Xew York "this
evening Whether or not it was because he
had given up the idea of undergoing treat
ment could not be ascertained.

WAGING A HOT FIGHT
Philadelphia, Jan. 16. In the Quar
ter Sessions Court yesterday. Judge Arnold
handed down an interesting opinion refus
ing a motion for a new trial and an arrest
of judgment, in the case of John J. Hough,
who wns recently convicted of exposing for
sale and selling adulterated milk. He de
fines skimmed milk as an adul
teration within the "terras of the
net of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
1885, and among other things says:
"Legislation for the protection of the peo
ple from being imposed upon by impure,
unwholcome, adulterated, diluted or
skimmed milk has been freqnently adopted
in this State. Such legislation is quite
commendable, but wliether it has been
reasonable and consistent is not free from
doubt."
The various acts arc reviewed, after
which the Court continues: "In the pres
ent case the defendant has been indicted,
first, for adulterating milk; second, for ex
posing for sale or exchange adulterated or
unwholesome milk; and third, with selling
and exchanging the same
No Doubt About tho Skimmlnjr.
"Evidence for the Commonwealth was
that the milk was diluted with water to the
extent of 7.26 per cent, and that it contained
only 10.72 of milk solids and 1.91 per cent
of fat; while a witness for the defendant,
who was employed to sell it, testified that
he had skimmed the milk in obedience to
instruction from the defeudant.
"It is now co'ntended that the defendant
cannot be held for selling adulterated milk
on the admission of his employe that he
sold skimmed milk, while the District At
torney contends that skimmed milk is adul
terated milk. Upon the motion for anew
trial I was not convinced that thi convic
tion wns not right. The witness for the de
fendant, his employe, admitted that he
had skimmed'the milk and said he skimmed
it hy direction of the defendant. He was
engased in selling it from unmarked cans.
On this the jury had the rieht to infer that
if the employe violated the law in one re
spect by direction of his emoloycr, he vio
lated it in another aud watered "the milk by
the same authority.
Kcvlsion Deemed Highly Necessary.
"It must be admitted that the act of 1878
seems deficient in not making it clear that a
defendant may be discharced on payment of
the fine and costs within 15 days, bnt we ap
prehend no difficulty will arise in such a
case; at least, it has not arisen here. If the
defendent does not pay, or is" not able to
pay when he is sentenced, and has to go to
prison, it is likely ho will serve out his
term and be discharged as a poor debtor.
"As before said, this Iccislation is com
mendable. It is intended to protect the
health of the people, and therefore it ought
not to be set aside except tor overpowering
reasons. It is manifest, however, that it is
not altogether consistent, bnt it is confiis
inr, especially that part which declares that
milk containing less that 12J per cent
of milk solids shall be deemed to be
adulterated. The double penalties inflicted
by the act of 1888 are also confusing, and
make it difficult for a jtidee to eive the act
a sensible application. It would be well if
the whole subject were revised bv a person
who comprehends the subject. The motion
in atrest ot fudgment is overrnled."
The defendant, Hough, was then fined
25 and costs.
A Fisht A gn ins, the Dealers.
The Dairymen's Protection Association,
of the North Penn Railroad and its
branches, havo begun a determined battle
for what they cliim to be their rights in
the milk trade. The association considered
the subject of rates soon after its
formation, which took place last
September, and decided that- dealers who
w ould not pay 4J cents a quart for Decem
ber milk, would not be supplied thereafter
by members of the association. The
freight on the milk is about one
half cent per quart, leaving 4 cents net.
The retailers got 8 cents. Most of the deal
ers paid the stipulated rate, hut some of.
the biegc't have not done so, and their sup-
Elies have been stopped. These dealers
ave consequently heen obliged to get their
supplies from New York and other places.
The dairymen say dealers as a rule have
the advantage which comes from having
from the farmer at dry measure and selling
to the housewife at liquid measure. Thus,
a dealer buying 120 quarts of milk at dry
measure sells about 146 quarts at liquid
measure. But the dealer, on the other
hand, says that custom has made nn "extra
dip" almost the rule, and that housewives
always look for it, after .they have got the
measure that they ask for.

Boston, Jan. 16. Sp-ciaT.1 A dozen
vegetarians assembled last evening at 813
Washington street to expound their
peculiar views and admonish feeble-minded
folks who are yet sighing after the fleshpots.
After consideration o'f the merits of barley,
a warm recommendation of nuts and apples,
a glowing description of unleavened brjad
and a lurid eulogy of potato soup, one of
the members began to call the roll of dis
tinguished vegetarians of the olden time.
Thomas A. Kempis and many an old saint
of the Catholic church was declared to hava
eaten little, if any, meat, and to this absti
nence was attributed much of the beauty of
these aintiy characters.
'Was Christ a vegetarirn?" asked ono
member.
"Do you mean the.man we call Jesus?"
"Ye, I believe He was."
"Well, I don't. I believe He ate meat,"
said the first speaker, who was evidently
not qnite converted. This led to quite an
animated discussion, but it was impossible
to settle the question satisfactory.
Interesting testimony as to the value of
peanuts as a fond was then given. One lady
testified that her pet dog had become such a
vegetarian that he preferred peanuts to any
bone, however big and full of marrow.
Another told of a cat and dog whose very
natures had changed under the influence of
cereals. Filberts and pecan nuts were then
declared to be very well in their way, but
peannts were better. The fruits that grow
in sunshine were declared more "healthful in
their influence than those that are dug from
the darksome earth.
