The political world has happily been quiet during the Easter recess. The only matter of interest dis cussed during the week has been Mr. Glad stone's letter on women's suffrage, which is bringing in floods of protests from its advo cates. Mr. Gladstone's own organ, the Speaker, will say in its issue to-morrow: The letter will strike a heavy blow at the women suffrage movement, which has been permitted to attain rather formidable pro portions, chiefly owing to the reluctance of politicians to express their opinions on the subject This strong "whip" against the women suffrage bill betokens a distinct awakening of our politicians of all parties to the danger of an agitation, the success of which will bring us lace to face with a new order of society. According to private advices from Costa Belle, Queen Victoria is now in excellent health and has quite recovered from the de pression due to the death of the Duke of Clarence, which caused intimate friends of Her Msjesty the greatest anxiety.

Mr. Smith, the American Minister to Itussia, and Mrs. Smith have been fulfilling social engagements since their arrival here. To-day Mr. Smith said: It is impossible for Americans to realize how much all Russians, from the Czar down, appreciate the Ainciican relief donations w Inch are practically the only foreign as sistance so far received. The relief organi zation wo instituted proved the most effi cient and had the wannest approval of the Itussian Government America has given o er 1,000 (XX) roubles In food and mosey. We have paid much attention to Samara, where the famine is the worst. From that qnai ter of the empire I have just received a leport that wo have saved the cattle and horses of IOC German colonies and Russian villascs, aro leedini 1.290 people, and have Dought seed lor 19,000 acres. As for the future, with the reliel in sight from America and a continuance of local relief. I think the necessities or the distiessed human beings will be provided for through the summer. The Itufcbians Are Coins Their Part. The greatest problem at present is there stocEing of farms and the furnishing of seed. One point the outside world has failed to recognize, is tho great work dono by the Russians themselves iu helping tho peas antry.

AN ANARCHIST ROUNDUP. Wholeialo Arrests by Previous Arrange ment Blado In 31any French CItlefc. Paris, April 22. The police of this city, who arrested 45 Anarchists to-day, have not been the only ones who have been on the hunt. A large number of men in other places, who are considered dangerous, are now sately in jail. At St Etienne 80 Anarchists were arrested; at Dion, five; at Amiens, eight; at St Quentin, ten, and at Lyons, four. The combined action of the Paris and provincial police in their search for Anarchists to-day wa3 arranged at a special meeting summoned last night by H. Loze, prefect of the Paris police. At this meeting the commissioners of all the police districts were handed warrants empowering them to arrest all suspects in their several jurisdictions. The chief aim of the authorities was to obtain a thorough knowledge of the extent of the Anarchist organization and to learn, if possible, the manner in which the dyna mite cartridges were recently stolen Irom Soissy and how they had been distributed. This object was not attained, as a minute search ot the arrested Anarchists' lodgings failed to reveal any documents that would throw light on the jilans or actions of the Anarchists.

At the Vatican extra ordinary importance is being given to the Pope's Episcopal Jubilee next year. The Central Organizing Committee has already received notice of thousands of gifts that are to be sent To collect all the donation, more than 300 committees have been formed in all parts of Christendom. It is believed the presents will equal or, perhaps, exceed thos? made on the occasion ot his priestly jubilee, when they amounted to upward of SS,000,000 in cash and ?20,O00,O0O iu other presents. " The special commission appointed to ar range the fetes in connection with the jubi lee, has decided that a great international pilgrimage shall take place next Septem ber, in order that those who will not be able to attend the Jetes during the first six months of 1893 may have the opportunity of paving their homage to His Holiness then. Other important features of the celebration will be a grand international pilgrimage in February, 1893; the establishment in each ecclesiastical province of an educational in stitution iu honor of Leo XIIL; the crea tion in Home of a great institute ot students and the construction near the Vatican of a large church commemorative of the event, to be known as the Church of St Joachim, the patron saint of Leo XIIL JAEGEE STILL MISSING.

Notwithstanding that Jaeger, the absconding cashier of the Rothschilds, at Frankfort, mailed a letter to the house from- Darmstadt acknowledg ing his guilt and saying he was about to commit suicide, the police have been un able to find any trace of him, living or dead. There is a strong suspicion that Jaeger made provision to have this letter mailed irom Darmstadt in order to throw the authorities off the scent, while he sought to escape in another direction. The Kothschilds do not apparently be lieve that Jaeger had any intention of kill Tng himself; on the contrary, so confident are thev that he is still alive, that they have ottered i,uuu marts tor his arrest FEANCE AND THE VATICAN.

V THE THE BUSINESS WORLD. Some Reasons Why Iron Men Should Be Hopeful of the Future. CDBAN ORE WILL COME IN TIME. A Lost Egyptian Art of Castinjr Tubes Is Discovered. Glass FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS Cleveland, April 22. The Iron Trade ficvicu says ot business conditions this week: Hopefulness is a larger element. in the iron situation to-day than at any time in months. Added to the general faot that this is a buy ing time of the year, there are several spe cific reasons for taking courage. First, the accumulation for pig iron has been checked, and the days of demoralization from unpre cedented piling up of stocks are numbered; second, the volume of business in all lines, as shown in clearances and railroad earn ings," is greater than last year. ' Prices have not improved in the week, but inquiries are more plentiful and a buying movement seems just ahead. That the docks will show scant stocks by May 1 would be of more import to ore men were there any immediate prospect of sales. Non Bessemer transactions stand practically as they did two months ago, constituting the merest fractions of the sales so far made. "What sales there have been of non-Besse-mers were on last season's basis, with the increase in lake freights added. Expectations were entertained earlier in the season by Cleveland, capitalists engaged in the Spanish-American mines in Cuba, that they would ship ore to this country the present season. Existing ocean freights will permit of the delivery of the Spanish-American output at tidewater at a price below that of Lake Superior ore delivered at Cleve land: but, owing to the low state of the ore trade, the company has decided that it will not ship to this country this season. Furnacemen have had some opportunity ot late to note how the demoralization in their business is shared by their customers. There has been the keenest competition for work, and orders have never been placed at foundries and machine shops at better figures. Cutting bbickhaxebs. Philadelphia Yard Proprietors Will Reduce the Wages of Workers. Philadelphia, April 22. The first labor agitation of the season has started with the brlckmakers of this oity, who have received notice from their employers that their wages will be reduced in some cases as much as 23 per cent. One of the leading journey men said yesterday that molders who had received $3 25 per day last year were notified that $2 60 would be their wages this year, and that men formerly receiving $2 00 would be reduced to $1 75 per day. Off bearers were to receive $1 45 and $1 00, the former rate being $1 75. This has had the effect of causing a ferment among the men, and one yard has struck and probably "others will follow. Thejourneymen claim that this is a most favorable spring for selling bricks, and as the stock in the various yards is low the re duction is untimely. The manufacturers state that the low prioes at which bricks are selling makes it necessary to reduce ex penses. It Is quiteprobable that representa tives from the Journeymen's organizations will send a oommittee to the Brlckmakers' Protective Association and ask: that a con ference be held at an early dato. If the em ployers adheie to their threatened reduction a general strike is imminent. TO BUY THE XIG0HIBB SAILB0AB. The Pennsy Negotiating With Its Owners, the Mellon Brothers. Greessburo, April 22. Special. Negotia tions are pendingbetween the Pennsylvania Eailioad officials and the MellonBrotbers, of Pittsburg, for the sale of the Ligonier Val ley Bailroad. A diligent effort was made last year by the Pennsylvania people to get control of the road, and a big sum of "money was offered. Now it appears the sum has been nearly doubled, and the sale is expect ed to be made. This road is one of the best paying branches along the Pennsylvania system. The Mellon Brothers' profits on the investment last year figured $28,000. Thousands or acres of coal lands lying In the Ligonier Valley are being leased by the Pennsylvania people, and this tact first gave rise to the belief that the road would change hands. When the purchase Is made it is understood that the Pennsylvania will ex tend the line five or six miles beyond Lig onier in order to develop the glass sand and bine stone quarries lying along the base of the mountains.

UNCLE SAM SWINDLED Ont of at Least 8100,000 by Undervalua tions of Sumatra Tobacco at the Port of San Francisco Purchasers to Suffer Goods Located In Tiro Cities. Chicago, April 22. The full extent of the frauds committed by the San Francisco ringsters against the Government by under valuations, is beginning to be learned. In the last six months 600 bales of Sumatra to bacco, valued at 250,000, and dutiable at $2 a pound, have been entered at the port of San Francisco by the payment of but 35 cents a pound duty. This is a loss of rev enue to the Government of nearly $100,000. This enormous quantity of tobacco was dis tributed to various cities in the country, and the Government is j'ust beginning to find it Special Treasury Agent Sohngen returned to-day from Cincinnati, where he located 68 bales of the contraband tobacco, and it is now in the possession of Treasury Agent McCoy, of Cincinnati, who will hold it un til further orders, sixteen Dales were also located in Philadelphia and they were also seized. All those firms in whose possession the tobacco was found were, like Myer & Sons, of this city, innocent purchasers, and if the Government is inclined to confiscate the goods the purchasers will be the suf ferers. To-day, however, Collector Clark re ceived a dispatch from Assistant Treasurer Spauldmg, of "Washington, instructing him to release the tobacco seized several days ago at the warehouses of livers & Sons, of this city, Liebes & Co., the Kew York sell ers, having given bonds for the 'amount of the duty on the goods, and, pending a hear ing in the courts, it was thought best to bear as lightly as possible on the innocent purchasers. "The frauds were extensive," said Treas ury Agent Sohngen, "and the Government has not located more than one-filth of the goods which were smuggled in under the lower rate ot duty.

SATURDAY, APRIL BADNESS IN BOSTON To Be, Luridly Exposed at Preacher Downs' Trial Next Week. HE SAYS IT WILL BE YEET SPICY. As Lively a Church Scandal as Any Since the Eeecher Case. A FEW HINTS AS TO THE TESTIMONY rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THB PISPATCH. Boston, April 22. Bev. W. "W. Down's is again before the courts, seeking to get justice and $50,000 for injury to his reputa tion and for being ousted from the pulpit of the Bowdoin Square Church. The ex minister is now seeking to recover the above! amount from Joseph Story, George B. Stakpole, Eufua K. Noyes, Sidney A. Wil-' ber, Fred J. Tabor, Abbie Campbell and Alice Nepton, otherwise known as Alice "Watson. This case has been dragging in the courts for two years, being postponed from time to time on one pretext or another. To-day the plaintiff asked for a farther extension of time, but Judge Sherman refused to grant the request. This was a surprise to everybody, for there are not many who thought the case would ever be tried. Lawyer W. H.v Baker, forced unexpect edly to open the case, did so very briefly, and then secured a postponement until Monday. Next week the witnesses will be examined, and the pnblic will be regaled with more "racy developments than nave been heard in any church scandal since the celebrated Beecher trial. In his opening argument to-day. Lawyer Baker stated to the jury that he should at tempt to show that the Nepton woman was hired by the defendants to swear that Bev. Mr. Downs was the father of her child; that this was done by some of the defendants who had money and who conspired to get the pastor out of the pulpit, as he knew too much about their transgressions. This is but a sample of the character of the evidence which will be heard. Parson Downs had two trunks filled with affidavits and confessions which he says he will intro duce. The exposures will make a tre mendous social upheaval, he says. He estimates that he will expose a condition of social impurity and immorality that will astound the world. The defendants deny all these charges, and profess to have no fear of anything Mr. Downs may produce. The scandal which in volved the fair name of Mrs. Fred T. Tabor and that of"Mr. Downs has been frequently aired, but his counsel claim that in none of the court trials has Mr. Downs had a chance to tell his story or to defend himself. Now his lawyer thinks the facts will come out, and it is claimed that much of the spiciest testi mony in this case will be entirely new to the public. The defendants in the case were prominently connected with the Bow doin Square Church. E0W HE WON HIS BEIDE. Got His Doctor to Make Him Very Sick, and That Brought Consent. Lieutenant Edmund L.

Miss Kimball came here ac companied by au uncle, C. S. Kimball. Before they arrived Lieutenant Butts took Dr. "William Moore, a college chum, into his confidence, and the Doctor agreed to make the Lieutenant sick.

Several days later Mr. Kim ball aud his niece left for Salt Lake City. The marriage was kept secret until the sec ond ceremony was performed. STBEHGTH OF LIMPET& Tho Utile Creatures Cllnc to Bocks With a Power That It Snrprisinc;., Some interesting experiments have lately been made in England, says Pearsoa's Weekly, for the purpose of discovering the amount of force exerted by the limpet in holding on to a rock. Thex limpets were not chosen specimens, but just taken at random, and this is how the experiments were con ducted: The shell was bored, and a deli cate spring-balance was attached to the creature as it lay on the rock. By means of this the strain was gradually increased until the limpet came away. Twenty experiments gave the following average results: The average shell was 1.07 square inch, and tho pressure supported was 22.5 pounds per square inch. To de tach the animal a force equal to 54.3 ponnds per square Inch of the surface adhering to the rock was needed. The greatest adhesive force noted was 71.1 pounds per square inch of foot surface, and tne least was 37.1 per square inch.

The fastest cooking, authentically at tested, was done not long ago by Prince Bismarck's former chef, who is' now chief cook in a famous restaurant of Berlin. He had made a bet with a regular guest of the place of $25 that he could kill, dress, cook and serve a chicken in six minutes. The exploit was to be performed in the presence of invited spectators. At 9 o'clock on the appointed evening the cook appeared with his gas cooking stove on a platform in sight of all in the room. He waved the chicken around his head and it cackled loudly. Decapitating the fowl with one blow of a glittering knife, this gastro nomic expert, within 00 seconds, had re moved every feather trom it The gas stove was already lighted, with a broiler upon it The fowl was cut open and drawn in one other minute and placed upon the broiler; a hot dish garnished with water cress was at hand, and it lacked jn?t a second of the six minutes when the chicken was served amid great applause.

An Old Man Tries to Telegraph SIS to Boy-Mnrderer In a Wyomtns Jail As Executor He Owed That Sum to the Lad. New York, April 22. An old man, who evidently had not had much experience in sending telegrams, went into the office of the Western Union Company' yesterday afternoon, and, after much labor with a pencil and a blank, handed in a dispatch to the receiver, which read as follows: Givp these few dollars' to Charley and tell him good-bye. George Hoitz. "I want to send $18 with this telegram to Cheyenne," he said. He told the receiver to whose order he wanted the money paid, and then he asked anxiously, "The money will go to-day, wfen't it? It would be of no use unless it did." "Whv are you so anxious that it be paid to-day?1' asked the receiver. "The boy is to be hanged to-morrow, was the answer, "and I want him to have the money to buy a new suit of clothes to be buried in." The young women who handed the dis patches in the office looked horrified, and one of them asked the old man to tell his story. He replied: The boy is Charley Miller. He was born In New York and Is only 17 years old. His father and mother died some years ago. and he was placed in an orphan asylum. I was appointed trustee of tho parents' estate, which is worth about 11,000, so that Charley's share of It was $500. He learned the printing business and went West. About two years ago he returned to New York, but he did not care for life here, and soon started West again. He had drawn most of his money from me, and long before he reached Cheyenne he was penniless and hungry. On a train he fell In with two men who had plenty of cash. He waited until they had gone to sleep, and then he took a revolver out of the pocket of one of the men, killed them both, stole all their money and Jewelry and jumped off the train. Event ually Charley gave himself up. He has been tried and convicted twice, the first verdict being set aside. He wrote to me for $5 with which to buv presents for the people in the Jail before the execution. In looking up my accounts to-day I found that I owed the poor fellow $18, and I resolved that he should have Itbefoie he died. It will help to give him decent burial. v The telegraph receiver was very much touched, but, turning to business matters, after a little pause, he said: "This dispatch will cost $1 10."" "Send it collect," replied the old man. "Can't do it." The old man pondered. "Nevermind the message," he said finally, "but just send the money. They'll know who it comes from." He took the blank, crumpled it up and left the office. AN EX-MAKIAC DYING. The Result or an Affray With His Em ployer, Who Pleads Pell-Defene. New Castle, April 22.

WHAT ITREALLY IS. The Most Dangerous of Modern Disorders Clearly Defined Pneumonia and What Causes It. There has been a great mistake as to what pneumonia really Is. People, and even some physicians, have called it a dangerous dis ease. Pneumonia is always an after effect. If the system is run down, weakened, debil itated, if the life Is at a low ebb, the lunzs may fill up and the person die suddenly, and it Is called pneumonia. No man or woman ever died of pneumonia when the body was strong, vigorous and healthy. It comes upon one when weakened by grip, by a severe cold or overwork and a generally weakened condition. Suoh being tho case, how can this dreadful trouble known as pneumonia be prevented or warded otT? Manifestly, by strengthening and fortifying the body by having tho health and strength so secuie that pneumonia will not attack, or If it should, can easily be warded olf. This can be done by careful living, careful diet and a moderate use of a pure stimulant. To gently assist nature a stimulant is required, some thing that adds to the life and vigor. Noth ing tor this purpose can equal pure whiskey, and It should be borne in mind that the only pure and medicinal whiskey, which has re ceived the unqualified indorsement of phy sicians and scientists is Duffy's Pure Malt. It is no ordinary whiskey, but possesses properties known to no other article. It will effectually ward off pneumonia and has saved the lives of tbousuuds of people. It should be remembered, however, that It Is the only whiskey which can accomplish this, and any druggist or grocer who seeks to con vince you to the contrary is deceiving.
