10 ENGLAND'S GOODNAME it Stake Over Troubles Between an Asrent and Missionaries. SALISBURY DOUBTS THE EEPOETS. Believes No Officer Showed Hostility Uganda Catholics. to BETTISG A DATE FOE PARLlAHENrS END 1osxtas, June 1& In the House of Lords to-day Lord Harris (Liberal) asked that a Commission lo sent to Uganda to ex auiino into and report upon the recent troubles in that country between Captain Iiugnrd, the representative of the British East Africa Company and the Trench mis sionaries. Ha claimed that the honor of England was at stake in the matter. Lord Salisbury replied that a telegram had just been received from Zvnzibar -which gives letters from Muauga, at the southern end of the Victoria ifyanza, dated March 31, reporting the arrival of Captain "Williams, an employe of the British East Africa Com pany, who stated that the lighting in Uganda had ended and that Captain liceard hoped to come to terms with Jluanga, King of that countrv. The English missionaries were in Uganda and nineteen Frenoh mis sionaries were in the Bukoba district. All were sale and well. This intelligence, Lord Salisbury said, would diminish the anxiety the Government shared regarding the self sacrificing, devoted men who had appeared to be exposed to great dangers and suffering. balUbury Discredits tho fieoorts. Continuing, Lord Salisbury said: "If I believed for a moment that British agents had been guilty ot attacking Catholic estab lishments, or had iu any way taken hostile action against other Europeans in Uganda, I would heartily condemn their conduct, but I cannot condemn British officers un heard. From what I know of Cantata Lugard lam sure he would never meditate propagandist actions or use his forces to in iiict injury upon another religion or nation. The reports previously received w ere prob ably exaggerated. Although the geograph ical position ot Uganda, which would entail a six months' journey, renders the dispatch of a commissioner impossible, we will make every inquiry and call vigoronsly to account any person whose conduct deserves cen sure. " In reply to a question asked by the Earl of Kimberley (Liberal), Lord Salisbury said it was true that Captain Jones had been instructed to withdraw from Uganda to a point midway between that country and the coast He added that although it was a very arduous task to hold Uganda under existing conditions, he belies ed that the making of a railway would dispose of the difficulty. Setting the Date for Adjournment. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Bal four, the Government leader, stated that Parliament would be dissolved between June 19 and June 25. Mr. Balfour added that the Government would conclude the Irish education and several other bills be fore Parliament is dissolved, but it would be impossible to proceed with the Irish local government bill. The Hon. G. . Curseon, Parliamentary Secretary of the India Office, stated that the Government of India had decided that it was needless to be officially represented at the Chicago Columbian Exposition, or to make a grant for an Indian exhibit The Government would, however, support the Calcutta Tea Association in lormmg a sec tion for the exhibition. Mr. James Stuart, (Radical) member of the Hoxton division of Shoreditch, asked whether the Government would take care that the writs for the election of members of the Xew Parliament would reach the boroughs, so as to enable the elections to be held on a Saturday. Mr. Baliour replied that It was not only Ac odsirirSs of the House of Commons, but of the House of Lords also, that must be concluded before fixing the exact date of dissolution. He, therelore, could not fix the date so that the elections would take place on Saturday. Jio More Immisrants Wanted. Mr. Howard Vincent (Natibnal Conserv ative), member for the Central division of Sheffield, called attention to the statement that 2,295 immigrants "had entered' England from the continent in a month, of which number 373 did not intend to proceed to America. Mr. Vincent asked the Govern ment, iu view of the present depression in trade, to name a day lor the introduction of a measure ot restriction. The P.t Hon. Hcnrv Matthews, the Home Secretary, admitted that thus far in 1892, 5,993 immigrants more than in 1890 had entered the country. The destination of many of these immigrants was not stated. Mr. Matthews said he understood they had proceeded to America. In con clusion, he said the Government could not name a day lor the purpose specified by Mr. Vincent. EIVALS OF PABHELLITES. They Attempt to Break Up a Sleeting and a Free Fight Fallows. Dueled, June 13. In addition to the en counter at Tralee yesterday, the rival fac tions of the Irish Nationalists had a severe conflict at Limerick. The battle began in an attempt by the anti-Parnellites to break up a Parnellite meeting. The latter had heard rumors of the intended attack, and were fully prepared with shillelahs and other weapons for their antagonists. This was the signal for the battle. The anti-Parnellites rushed forward to rescue the coat tail. Others dashed at the band, while the main body, with shillelahs flourishing and howls of rage, intermingling with cries of pain, were soon mixed up in a confused mass. As the fight progressed the police assem bled in force and charged the mob, but the struggle was at such close quarters that the police could hardly make anv impression. This is the third fight of the. campaign, preparatory lor the general election, the first, or opening fight, having occurred at Xavan, in the County of Meath, a few days ago, wben the anti-Parnellites held a con vention to select candidates to oppose Messrs. Mahony and Shiel. EI-METALL1SM IN INDIA. The Movement to Srcare a Reform In the Currency Receive Strong Support. SIMI.A, Lvdia, June la At a largely attended meeting here to-day it was unani mously decided to memorialize Parliament to reform the Indian currency by an inter national agreement establishing bimetal lism or the establishment of a gold standard. The President of the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce made an effective speech In which he urged that energetic action should be taken to attain the end desired. The movement to secure a reform in the cur rency is receiving strong support through out India. The Blue Danube Overflowing. Buda Pesth, June 11 The Danube rh er has risen 14' inches here since last night. At Baab, which is situated 67 miles northwest of this city at the continence of the river Baab with an arm of the Danube, the waters of the Baab have commenced rising and the town is already isolated from the surrounding country by the flood. Irish Against the Education Bill. London, June 13. Mr. Thomas Sexton (McCarthyite). member for West Belfast, declared in the House of Commons that the Irish would strenuously oppose the Irish education bill at every stage. KIghty Houses Go TJp in Smoke. Pabis, June 13. Eighty houses have been destroyed by fire in the town of Department of DE8IBUGTIVE SPANISH LIQHIHINQ. It Strikes Churchoa, Kill Fifteen and In jure! Many Others. Madrid, Juno 13. Terrlfio thunder storms prevailed in various parts of Spain yesterday and heavy loss of life by light ning is reported. The eleotrlolty appeared to pick out the churches as the objects on which to show its power, and unfortunately It did so while the services were in-prog-ress. At Melias, in the Province ot Orenz, the parish church was crowded with worshipers attending mass when the storm burst. Suddenly a most terrifio crash of thunder, followed almost immediately by a flash of lightning that was blinding in its Intensity, caused the worshipers to spring to theirfeet in fear. Women shrieked in terror and little children clutched their parents in an agony of terror. Finally, when order was restored, the congregation were horrified to find that ten of their num ber had been struck by lightning and in stantly killed, and 28 others had been ser iously injured. An almost similar scene occurred at Muncientes, in the Province of Vnlladolid. The church in that village was struck by lichtning and five of the worshipers were killed and 10 injured. At Burgas, the cap ital of the Province of Jthat name, consid erable damage was done to the famous old cathedral by lightning. The Burgos Cathe dral is one of the oldest buildings in Spain, having been founded in 1221 and finished in 1662. The lightning disdaced a portion of one of the walls and did other dam ace. .Nobody in the cathedral was hurt. DB1VEN OUT OF BUSSIA. Two Americans Expelled for Writing About and Illustrating the Coast JMne. Berlin-, June 13. The Americau Lega tion here has received a note from Sir. Poultney Bigelow, whose expulsion from Kussiu was announced last niKht, stating that he and Mr. Frederick Bemington, the American artist, had been driven out of Russia. They are now in the Tilsit iu East Prussia from which place they will return to Berlin in a canoe. The expulsion of the two Americans is supposed to have'been due to the publica tion of Germanophile articles written by Mr. Bigelow. The object of the two travel ers in visiting Bussia was to make a canoe voyage along the coast. Bigelow was to write up their experiences, while Mr. Bem ington was to make sketches to illustrate Mr. Bigelow's articles. INDIA AND SILVES. The Government Urges the Crown to Sup port an International Conference. Calcutta, June 13. The Indian Gov ernment to-day made public a dispatch of March 23, sent by them to the Imperial Government, urging the latter to give the strongest support to any '.proposals for an international silver confer ence. "The stoppage of silver coinage in America would," the dispatch remarks, "further depress the price, and as it would be certain to come suddenly, if at all, this Government wonld find themselves unpre pared. It is therefore important that the subject be fully considered beforehand in order to protect Indian interests as far as possible." WILHELM'S IMPEBIAL VISIT.

During the scorching weather of July and August you often rush into an ice cream saloon with the avowed intention of cooling your body to at least a few degrees below the melting point If you are in a great hurry you are apt to make the first few spoonfuls of the cooling mixture rather large. This almost immediately gives you a violent pain in the temples or somewhere in the region of the eye;. Why is this? Did you ever stop to think? asks a writer in toe St Louis Republic One who has studied the physiology of the case says it is caused in the 1 ollowingmanner: The frozen mixture, coming in contact with the nerves of the throat (the larynx, pharynx, etc.), temporarily paralyzes them. The sensation instantly shoots to the center of those nerves, which is in the brain, but finds there a side con nection in the shape of the great facial nerve, 'which starts from in front of the car and extends its branches over the sides of the face. One branch of this facial nerve, extending across the .temple, is a "nerve sensation," while the other branches are simply "nerves of motion," utilized chiefly to govern the play of the mouth. The great lacial nerve side tracks the pain which proceeds from the chill, throw ing it out along the nerve branch which traverses the temple, the pain being most agonizing at the points where the nerve branches. It the irritation be extraordinary the "reflex" action which takes place may cause a violent pain in the eyeballs as well as in the tem ple the eye pain being simply sympathetic. The person who rashly follows great mouth fuls of frozen milk shonld remember that every time it comes in contact with the nerves of his throat the whole nervous sys tem is injured to a greater or less extent SENATOB HILL A WOMAN-HATEB, A Newspaper Man's Clever Joke Won a SIO Bill for the Head Waiter. New York Ledger. 3 The manner in which Senator David B. Hill shuns the society of the fair sex is so obvious as to cause much interest When the Senator first came to Washington, some of our newspaper correspondents cook tho head waiter of the Arlington one side, whis pered in his ear that Senator Hill was a great admirer of comely women, and that it would doubtless be many a five-dollar bill in the head waiter's pocket if he would seat pretty women near the Senator's table. At the next meal Senator Hill was sur prised to find bimselfsurrounded by pretty, young married women and blushsng brides, of whom there is always a great plenty at Washington hotels. All of them soon knew who their neighbor was, and thev watched him with so much interest, that it was dif ficult to say where the greatest number of blushes was on the fair cheeksof the brides or on the pale face of Senator HilL The Senator endured this torture for just two weeks. Then he gave the head waiter $10 to seat the pretty women at the other end ot the dining room. Dr. Cyrus EJson's Advlca to Girls.

Oil Creek Flowing Out of Its Course and ' Keels to Be Put Back. THEORIES AS TO THE FLOATING OIL rECIAI, TKLIOUAM TO THE DISPATCH. Titusville, Pa., Juno 18. The work of clearing up tho ruins has been pushed with renewed vigor to-day, 200 being employed. These havo been divided Into four gangs and apportioned to their regular districts. The men received their pay to-night for tho first week's work. Tho roll was a large one, tho amount footing to nearly $4,000 for labor alone. Superintendent Bouse says that a number of men will be laid off soon. The fist to go will of course be those from out side. The work will still necessitate the employment of 100 men for some weeks, and that is the number those in charge pro pose to retain. It is now thought that all the missing have been accounted for with the exception of possibly one. This doubt arises from the blunder made by those who took the Bin genheimer and Whalen familes from their burned home. It is positively known that one at least of the Whalen children was buried as a Bincenheimer. The feet, hands and other pieces of anatomy found in the Bingenheimer bouse two or three days after the first bodies were removed have always been figured as a body. This has accounted for the correct number known to have been in the two houses at the time of the catas trophe. Reason tor the Flpatlns Oil. The opinion Is, however, entertained by many that the parts mentioned belonged to some of tho first bodies found, as several of them were minus bunds and foet and were otherwise badly mutilated nnd unrecogniza ble. It will require the finding of either another Whalen aud Bingenheimer body to completely clear up this invstcry. JHr. v. li. I'avne. ot tne JNntional Transit Company, one of our leading citizens and a Veteran in the oil business since 1862 when he landed at Petroleum Center, in a con-1 versation with a DISPATCH correspondent to-day advanced an idea as to the cause of so much oil, benzine and naphtha being scattered on the face of the flood which Beems to be a good one. "You will notice," said Mr. Payne, "that nearly every tank with a solid and well riveted top still stands In almost as good condition as before the disaster, with its contents intact, while those with'loosely constructed and carelessly built coverings are either ruined and emptv or scattered along the creek bank and bed between this city and Oil City. My theory is that when the water became high enough it ran in over the top of the leakv topped tanks and took the place of the lighter contents, forc iug the latter out and thus adding fuel to the flames. Go through any of the refinery yards and my theory is confirmed at once, for the solid topped tanks are standing there to-day with their contents intact" To Interest the Public lor AM. A publio meeting of merchants and busi ness men was held this afternoon at the Oil Exchange with the object of devising means to interest the outside wholesalo firms with whom they have business relations in rais ing funds to send to Titusviile's relief. The meeting was largely attended and arrange ments made lor carrying out tne object. One of the leading questions ot the hour is how to provide means for turning Oil Creek once more into its proper channel. Just below the railroad bridge the flood seemed to swerve from its natural course and bear to the left in toward south. As has been before stated in these dispatches the creek now runs directly through and over the completely obliterated Crescent Oil Befinery. Itnowpassescloselyto and nearly on a level with the big Stephens barrel works, the Western National Befineries, Cyclops Steel Works, Galena Lubricating Works, Climax Gasoline Works and several other prosperous manufacturing plants. A common, every-dav flood would now raise havoc and do inestimable damage. A solid bank of earth and gravel is piled where the creek's bed was formerly located. Where Church run empties into Oil creek at the Stephens Befinery there is now a regular lark and there is'no outlet for the same un til the creek is in some manner compelled to assume its former course. Meantime these large works employing 100 and more men are under water and shut down. Asking Congress to Right tho Creek. At a meeting held yesterday to debate this question a committee was appointed consisting of Messrs. Boger Sherman, Mayor E. O. Emerson, H. C. BIoss, Hon. Jesse Smith and A. B. Howland to act in conjunction with a committee from Oil City in the matter of determining on the feasibility of applying to Congress for aid to right the course of the creek both at this place and Oil City. If this should not be deemed good judgment an effort will be made for State aid, the same as was done at Johnstown. One thing is certain, some thing must be done, and that quickly. It wiircost fully $100,000 to do the required work. The Coroner's jury met to-nizht and without transacting any business adjourned to Friday evening next. To-day $9,1C9 24 was added to the subscription list. This makes the total up to to-night, from all sonrces, $44,726 30. Quite an amount of goods was also received yesterday. The number of people so far provided for at re lief headquarters' is 822. DEFECTS IN A TANK. iritnesses at the Coroner's Jury at Oil City Tell How the Explosions Occurred Thfi Fatal Benzine Said to Have Come From One of the Keystone Strnctnrcs. Oil Cut, June 13 Special. The tak ing of testimony as to the causes of the re cent fire was begun to-day by the Coroner's jury, and will be resumed to-morrow. There is much talk as to the outcome of this in vestigation, as it has been currently charged that there was negligence in the mainten ance of the tank from which the fatal ben zine is credited with having come, namely, one of the tanks of the old Keystone Be finery, now owned by the Eclipse Oil Works of Franklin, one of the works of the Standard Oil Company. It was reported here that a meeting of in surance men would be held in New York to-day to consider the matter mutually, aod if necessary pool their issues and sift to the bottom the cause of the fire. Of the witnesses to-day was Daniel Fisher, who is chief of the Oil City fire department He said: I think the flro was caused by benzino coming down tho creek. Sonie"cali it a lighter grade of naphtha, but I call It ben zlne. My impression is that it ignited at the Dew Drop refinery, or at least below tho railroad bridge. 1 was at the bridge when the explosions occurred, all of which wero over In a minute. I think the first explosion was between the street bridge and the rail road bridge. I have been up the creek since the explosion and examined tho Keystono tank. I found it ripped out at the bottom at long angles of nearly 30 feet, with the bot tom dropped down two feet. It would take quite a pressure from inside to cause It to drop down. The size of the tank is from 17.0C0 to 20,000 barrels. Tank would have emptied itself If full through the hole in 10 minutes. I did not know that tho tank held benzine, but it smelled as if It did. Other witnesses called were Henry Luhr, a producer and refiner; D. F. Byles, also a producer and refiner; Samuel Hunter, a farmer, and John Kistler. Their testimony was, in effect, the same as that of Daniel Fisher. Louis Hassen fritz, the fifty-fifth victim of the disaster, died at the hospital this afternoon, xwo ot nis ions lost their lives. DISPATCH, TUESDAY. SOME SHARK LORE. Are They Maneaters? That They Are Is Proved by the Records of the War and Navy Departments Bill or Emphatic Evidence Produced. Washikgtoit, June 13. Scientific men, novelists, and historians have long been in dispute over the question whether sharks are or are not maneaters. There is a well grounded belief in the minds of people generally that 'they are, and many practical illustrations of the correct ness of this belief have 'been presented from time to time. "Writers without number have taken the opposite view. An extract from an ancient volume of me War Department records bears unique and ap parently convincing testimony on the can nibalistic side of the shark question. It is taken from the medical Journal of the United States ship Falmouth, dated July 13, 1845, and reads as follows: Dead: Grifiln About 12 o'clock Inst night a noise was heard as If some object fell over board. A boat was sent in searcli, but nothing was found, and on mustering the crow this morning at daylight J. GHffln wns found mlsslns, nnd it Is supposed lie must have fallen overboard Inst night and been drowned. H1r bodv has not oeon found. Julv 19, 184 (six diys later. A shark was causlit tliltday or board tho sloop of-war Saratoga, and on opening its stomach a head ofa maji was found, which was recojmized by the officers nnd crew of this ship as being that of James Griffin, O. SI., who is supposed to havo fallou ovei board fio-n the Falmouth on the niht of the 12tli of July. Here is another bit of emphatic evidence, signed 30 years ago by a young officer, who is to-day the Surgeon General of the Navy on active duty. It is from the. records ot the TJnite'd "States ship Kearsarge, at Gibraltar Bay, July 13, 1862. While the crew were bathing alongside a ground shark mn Ire his appeal ance, seized and cniried down Edward H. Tibbets, O S., aged 19. The crew of the boat which pulled to his assistance last saw Tibbets and tho shark three fathoms under water slowly de scending, the water being peitectly calm. J. M. Urowne, Surgeon, United States. WHAT IS BEAUTY! Some Queer Ideas of liveliness Which Pre vail In DIflerent Countries. It is remarkable to learn the extraordi nary ideas of female beauty which charact erise different nations says a writer in the Jenncsi Miller Jlonthly. The ladieb of Arabia stain their fingers and toes red, their eye brows black and their lips blue. In Persia they paint a black streak around their eyes, and ornament their faces with representa tions of various figures. T.he Japanese women adopt the singnlar method of gilding their teeth, and those of the Indians paint them red. In some parts ot India the pearl of the tooth must be dyed black before a woman can be beauti ful. The Hottentot women paint their en tire body in compartments of red and black. In Greenland the women color their faces with blue and yellow, aud frequently tfttoo their bodies by saturating threads in soot, inserting them beneath the skin, and then drawing them through. Hindoo families, when they wish to be particularly lovely.smear themselves with a mixture ot saffron and grease, and in nearly all the islands of the Pacific and In dian oceans the women, as well as the men, tattoo a great variety of figures on the face, the lips and the tongue. In New Holland the women cut them selves with shells, and keeping the wounds opeu a long time form deep scars in the flesh, which they deem highly ornamental. Another mark of beauty consists in hav ing finger nails so long that casings of bam boo are necessary to protect them from in jury. An African beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a large, fiat nose, and a skin beautifully black. In New Guinea the nose is perforated and a large piece of wood or bone inserted. On the northwest coast of America an incision more than two inches long is made in the lower lip and filled with a wooden plug. In Guinea the lips are pierced with thorns, the head of the thorn being inside the mouth and the point resting on the chin. FBEAKS OF FISH AHD FE0O. pecImens'Have Been round Which Hatch Their Tonus in Their Mouths. pare Moments. Fish ot the genus Chromis, found in the Sea of Galilee, and also of the genus Arius, allied to the catfish, have the very peculiar habit of carrying their eggs about in their mouths, where they appear to be safely lodged during the period ot hatching in the large and capacious pharynx or hinder part of the mouth cavity. The eggs of these re markable fishes having been hatched br them in their mouths, the young ones con tinue, until they are able to feed for them selves, to use the parent's mouth as their home, and have been observed during that stage of their existence swimming in and out of their mouth-dwelling. A frog .which is found in Chili, Rhino derma Dawinii, has the same habit. It possesses two vocal sacs, which have, how ever, become diverted from their original use, and are now utilized as brood pouches. Into these sacs or pouches of the males, which alone possess them, the eggs are in troduced; there they are protected and un dergo development, and within them the young are kept until able to forage for themselves. CONSOLATION FOB THE LAZY. It Is 'Soft Announced That Early Rising Tends to Shorton Lite. Buffalo Enquirer." Health cranks seem never to tire of framing rules on how toattain long life, but several recent writers on dietetics have set to work unsetting many of the dearest crea tions of these cranks. Early rising and sponging have always been considered essential to good health and long life. Authorities now pronounce this a superstition. They say eight out of every ten persons over 80 whose cases were investigated never went to bed until well into the small hours and rose correspond ingly late next day. Early rising tends to exhaust the physical powers and shorten life, is the latest announcement, and long livers, it is said, are always persons who habitually abstain from bathing. Here is consolation for the lazy and dirty. COLUMBUS AND THE SLAVES. He Loaded His Empty Caravels With Them hut Is'ibslla Protested. Whatever may be said in palliation it is a historic fact that Columbus was a slayer. He came to the New World with the ex pectation of finding mearureless treasure. On one of his voyages it was necessary to return 12 of his caravels. To return' them empty was to acknowledge the poverty of his new possessions. In this extremity he thought of slaves. Many years before the Poituguese had driven a thriving trade by capturing thennfortunate negroes of Africa and selling them as slaves in Spain. Queen Isabella's heart was immediately touched, and she promptly ordered the traffic stopped. Where Women Have the Last Word. Bnrmah has developed the woman's right principle to the top notch of perfection. Women have the privilege of selecting their own husbands, and the happy men whom they honor with their choice have no right to say "no," unless they can prove previous engagements. Of course, there is a slim chance for the man. Wh,en his wife tires' of him she gets a divorce and turns him out This makes life worth-living to him. Sirs. Aueusta Alison's Favorite Boole.

They are both enjoying excellent health, and Mr. Perkins carries his six feet of stature and 300 pounds of weight with alert vigor. Fine Models of Sanitary Plumbing. Philadelphia Ledjrcr.J One ot the finest object lessons insanitary plumbing in the United States is the new Institute of Hygiene at the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout the building the pipes have been lett outside the walls, and each painted a distinctive color. Thus, a maroon pipe, wherever found, is a steam pipe, red always denotes hot water, bine stands for cold water, white means gas and yellow shows drainage. This makes it pos sible to trace each system in all its branches and test it at will, from the cellar to the roof. About everything in the way of drainage devices now known is in the build ing, and everything put on the market will be given a fair trial. Mrs." Gladstone a Layer or Snturr.
