It says: "Their action is arbitrary and high- handed. Their arguments, as far as they can be put into Intelligible shape, 'J£-' are worthy of the most rigid school of jR British game preservers./The seal is a R' wild animal, and there will never be K* any danger of its ext rmination by hunt- f\ ing on the high seas. The danger comes from excessive slaughter when the aui- mal# are perfectly helpless. If the Americans choose, by Indiscriminate |?3 . slaughter, to destroy their own industry we are helpless, but they cannot be al- lowed to mohof olize the seals by claim- Sy- r Ing property In the high seas and their s' contents." 3" England Wants Hawaii.

LARGE purchases of wheat and other grains have been lately made by numer- aus French agents directly of farmers in %£ the provinces of Borne and the Puglie at |f^3v whatever prices the farmers have de- t/»; V manded, with the result of rapidly creasing prices.

SPRING, of the schooner Gen- sral Banning, which arrived at San Francisco from Flent's Island, reports that while loading his cargo the vessel was twice blown out to sea by severe storms. On each occasion about one hundred natives were aboard, and they hastened ashore in canoes. The second time several cances were upset and the occupants thrown Into the water. The water swarmed with sharks, and many of the natives were torn limb from limb before they could be picked up by other sanoes. One young fellow plunged into the water with a long knife to save his father, but both were dragged down fcnd torn to pieces. A young girl had almost reached a canoe when a shark seized her and dragged her down. Shot in the Back by a Desperado.

POLITICAL PORRIDGE. THE New York Femocratlc State Con­ vention, which met at Saratoga, placed the following ticket in the field: Gov­ ernor, Roswell P. Flower; Lieutenant Grovernor, William F.

POLK, President of the National Alliance, recently talked freely of the political situation. "If the Southern farmers are driven Into the People's party," he said, Mno power on earth can prevent them from carry­ ing every Southern State. But the question is, Will they be driven into the third party? Four months ago I would have «aid that a new political party was not likely to follow. It now seems im­ possible to prevent it.

On tho last day of the current army year, or Aug. 15, there were under sentence in the mill- tai y prisons at home 1,036 prisoners, as compared with 1,060 in 188t>, 1,295 In 1888, and 1,689 in 1886. The daily aver­ age population of the prisons has fallen from 1,184 in 1886 and 807 in 1888 to 421 last year, and the number of soldiers un­ der sentence of penal servitude by courts-martial has decreased from 110 in 1886 to 43 in 1890, and only one was sentenced to penal servitude in England and Wales during the course of the year. BRITISH forces have occupied an island commanding the Dardanelles, which means that no more Russian warships shall escape from the Black Sea to threaten the Mediterranean under the pretense of shipping troops through the Suez Canal to the eastern coast of Si­ beria. Of course in making this order Sa'isbury has the support of the great European Dreibund, and defies Russia, France and Turkey. It will be recoliecte« that in 1878, after the battle of Plevna, and after the Russian troops had crossed the Balkan passes, Beaconsfield, then Premier, sent a fleet of ironclads up the Dardanelles and occupied the Island of Corfu.

The Farmers' Alliance lea'tferl in Ttfth- nesota and North and »outh Dakota have resolved up n another attempt to stop the tremendous flow of wheat to the markets. The receipts In Minneap­ olis and Duluth for the last week have run from 84jKJ to 1,500 cars every day, and the price of December wheat has dropped to 90M cents In Minneapolis. At this rate of sale and delivery tho Alliance people a-sert that the 150,000,- 000 bushels of wheat in the >'o. 1 hard belt will be out of the farmers' hands before Jan. 1. and their haste will drive the price back to 80 cents. The Alli­ ance therefore began tho mailing from its St Paul headquarters of a million of letters to the farmers calling a halt aU along the Hue The letter states the new Wheat Growers' Association and the Alliance secretaries all over the country are unanimous tnat wheat is bound to sell as hig i as $1.50 and possi­ bly 92 per bushel, and they are unani­ mous In this warning to tho farmers not to sacrifice their wheat and give the speculators all the profit there is in It The letter says the crop is being greatly overestimated by the newspapers and grain dealers, and continues: "We do not b 'lieve a ina ority of the farmers are foolish enough to co-operate with the speculators to depress prices further. There is no question but prices will take a turn upward. The shortage In Gut-0[0 can now bo figured with accuracy. About a week ago a congress of grain-dealers Irom all parts of Europe met at Vienna, Austria, and computed figures about the crops in Europe. The*) figures are the highest which well-informed reputable men could fur­ nish, for, If in a famine year like this they should gWe for the crop of any one country lower figures than circum­ stances justified, the government of that country would certainly remonstrate. It is surely the policy of Europeans not to exaggerate their d'sas er. The figures of the Vienna Congress show that Europe raised 258,000,000 bushels of wheat and 490,000,000 bushels of rye less than last year. Last yeaf* it consumed all of its own wheat crop and At least 50,0( 0,< 00 of reserves, 1- 0,00 ,- 000 bushels imported from America, all that other countries could supply, and all its rye crop. This year It wM have from America 12 ,i 0J,t 00 bushels more than last, if we take the extreme figures which any reputable authority has made for our really splendid c:op. "It will have as usual what other countries supply, wh!ch is insignificant, but it will have 748,000,000 bushels less of its own crop and 5",00 >,000 bushels less to draw from reserve#. In short, it will have 120.000,<>0 > bushels extra jEep America to make up a defie'eney 708,€y),00., and must consequently eat 678,0(J©iWK) bushels less grain. "Rye bein&K dearer in Europe than wheat, the latt&r^becomes a substitute, and is equally afrlk'ted by deficiency in rye or wheat supplt. When it is entirely certain that Europeans will have to economize in bread V» the4xtent of 678,- 000,000 bushels, and When the situation is aggravated by the partial failure of tlie potato cjop, It Is jto be ,consjder$d what prlbds they would pay* for Ameri­ can wheat The shortage In Europe be- ing four times as large as the American surplus, there is no doubt that the price of wheat will reach the highest figure ever known before this year Is up and will exceed it by far before the new crops come in. „ •Wheat'wlll soon be over 91.50, no mat­ ter how much farmers and speculators work together to keep prices down, and we would advise those who can compre­ hend the situation to hold their wheat for 91.50 and add for every month they keep It say five cents to the price. Hold your wheat You cannot get left" INDICATIONS OF A BIO WAB. Russia Slay Cause a Struggle In Which All Europe Will Participate. The Foreign Office here, says a Lon­ don cablegram, is kept in a state of un­ easiness over the projects ascribed to Russia involving the opening of the Dai* dandles and the s izure of Constantino­ ple. These intentions may exist only in the imagination of certain correspond­ ents, but there Is information in the Foreign Office sufficient to justify the belief that Russia is about to start on a new and important line of policy. Tb.e contingencies in question have not been sprung upon unawares. They were foreseen when the German Emperor was here. Beyond doubt they entered Into subjects d;scus<ed during his visit to the Queen a*. Windsor and to Lord Salisbury at Hatfield House. They were consid­ ered on all sides, and the tone of the German press at this moment shows the Impression Which was made. The most important journals point out that an attack by Russia upon Constanti­ nople, or a hostile movement against England in Egypt, would cot affect Eng­ land alone, but would concern all Eu­ rope. England could not be left to deal with tho difficulty single-handed. That is surely important notification to all whom it may concern. Russia is rapid­ ly Increasing its fleet and Is trying to get its finances straight, and It means to have gentral mobilisation of all its for«es. 4 Tho ltlack Sea clause of the treaty of Paris will have to be abrogated. There need be no war about that Russia by a little tact might easily accomplish this ob ect, even before the meeting of Parliament, but if It means to pounce down upon Constantinople it would be a different' affair. Then a great war would bo inevitable, and breadstuffs, which you have to sell in the United States, would be worth anything you chose to a>k for them. That is ono reason why accumulating complications in European politics are of great Im­ portance to thd American people. THINKS THE END IS AT HAND. Dr. Jenckes Warns People to Prepare for the Millennium. The Rev. Dr. Jenckes, rector of St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the most dis­ tinguished, conservative, and level­ headed divines in Indianapolis. Ind., has created a sensation by announcing that the end of the world is closo at hand. Dr. Jenckes gave up ,a lucrative law practice in 1S61 at Louisville and en­ tered the Christian ministry, under a very strong conviction that the end of this age and the inauguration of the reign for a thousand years of the Savior would occur within about 135 years. For several years jhls was the central fact of his preaching. But circum­ stances teu led some years since to check his ardor of convlctiou, and he found himself drifting toward a loose- •ess of views re. pectlng this important subject He has reeently had a thorough awak- •cming through the influence of a discov- ••ry and a publication. The discovery was that an error in the accepted system of chronol-ogv has been lately found which bad made the time-of the Judges •s governors of Israel, 350 instead of 450 years This correction, together with the twenty-seven years that have «)apsed since 1864, brings this uupoi •astounding crisis wtttrln lees than tea MMtrs-eflfce present The Performance of««Lohengrin" at Paris Accompanied by KxctUng Scenes. The house was crowded, there being no special difficulty in obta ning admis­ sion. The overture was listened to In profound silence, the audience breaking into rapturous applause at the conclu­ sion. The opera Was admirably mounted and finely rendered. Van Dyck and other artists were recalled several times and applauded to the echo. There was a noisy demonstration outside the opera house during the performance. A band of students sang the "Marseil­ laise," the crowd responding with cries of "Vive la France;* "A bas Wagner." Portions of the mob continually made rushes against the police cordon, and the police, whenever these incursions became formidable, assumed the offens­ ive and charged the mob, which would take flight in hot haste. « In some cases the zeal of the police seemed to outruft their discretion. In several instances respectab e onlookers were roughiv handled and arrested on tho slightest provocation, and then cuffed if they ventured to make the mildest protest At 10 o'clock a force of cavalry and mounted police patraled the scene of tho disturbance and a most determined effort to c ear the streets was make -meeting with considerab e success. The crowd was apparently mainly eo uposed of peo­ ple curious o fitness any demonstration that might be made. The performance was concluded with­ out trouble, and the work was pro­ nounced a great artistic success. Many of the audience went out on the stips between the acts to witness thu scene outside and were received with rounds of hisses. At the conclusion of the per­ formances '00 policemen were still occu­ pied in clearing the streets. Altogether about 1,000 persons Were arrested. 'The German Embassy was strongly guarded throughout the night A party of 200 roughs smashed th3 windows of the German Cafe Hanovre. A curious Incident occurred In the course of the evening. One of the men arrested, on being taken to the police station, announced himself as a Russian. He was forthwith liberated, with a bow and a polite "Passez, Monsieur." : Russia Astonishes the Powers. 'Hie Russian Government has quested the Europeau Danube Commis­ sion to permit Russian naval cadets to take passage on board the vessels be­ longing to the commission, in order that these young officers may be instructed in the pilotage of the Danube and become familiar wjth the navigation of that river. This strange request, following close upon the Dardanelles Incident lit which Russia insisted that Turkey should allow vessels belonging to her volunteer fleet to pass the Dardanelles, claiming that they were not men-of-war in ttie actual tense of the word, has caused considerable astonishment in official circles. The Danube Is the chief natural high­ way for the commerce of a large portion of Europe. The request just made to the European Danube Commission would seem to indicate that Russia would like her naval cadets to be instructed in the navigation of tho Danube above and below the Iron Gate. It would also seem that this is a hint that she may not now consider binding, for her volun­ teer ships at least, the clause of the treaty of 1878 stipu ating that "ships of war" should not navigate the Danube below the Iron Gate.

Postoq, March 10 last. The chapter in the life of Colonel King, so far as the Criminal Court of Shelby Coun'y is con­ cerned, was coed when Judge J. Dn Rose, of the i rimlnal Co:<rt, after a lengthy opinion, said: "Let the moti n be overru od." # The crima fo- whl h H- Clay King stands convicted I* too fresh in the minds of the people to need rehear Ing in detail, lietweeu 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the 10th of March CoL King stepped from a doorway <,n Main str et> oppo Ite Couit S ,ua e, and shot down Lawyer David H. I oston, who was hurrying to the Court Hou e on import­ ant busine s He died a few hoisrs later. King at once gave him elf up and was committed to jail without ball and trial. A few months thereafter came the tria', lasting thirty-two days. The jury after near.y two days' deliber­ ation brought In a verdict .of guilty of murder. A n< w trial was applied for, and Judge Du Bo e has delivered his opin'on, overruling the motion Every exception on the prisoner's be­ half was overruled. There was a brief pause, a death-like silence for more than a minute after ihe Judge had finished. King sat perfectly stolid, with a oroad fan pressed tight to his lips. Judge Greer j * arose, and In a few words said that the ~^Pr,n«field Journal, prisoner excepted to the judgment of the court in overruling the motion. There was another pause of a min­ ute, when Judge Du Bose, looking up from the manuscript he had been ar* ranging, said: tfLet the prisoner come forward." Instantly Colonel King rose from his chair, and, with nervous step, but fixed and immovable countenance, stepped a few paces toward the bench and looked steadfastly in the eyes of the Court. In a distinct voice, the Judge in effect said: MIt Is the judgment of this Court that you, H. Clay King, shall be committed to the county jail, and there safely be kept by the Sheriff until the tith day of November, 1891, when, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 p. m., the Sheriff shall, wlihln the jail or an inclosure ad­ jacent to the jail, take you to a gallows therein constructed and hang you by the neck until you are dead." The prisoner stood as a statue, and when the Court had finished he turned on his heels and walked firmly back to his chair. Major Weatherford then arose and said an appeal would be taken to the Supreme Court Colonel King, between two deputies, was taken back to jail, and the crowd which had thronged the court-room passed out Into the sunshine. Cardinals to Be Created. It is probable that the next consistory will be held at Rome within a few weeks; Cardinal Rotelli will receive the cardi­ nal's hat, and new cardinals will be created as follows: Mgr. Septacci and Mgr. llufio Scillo, for Italy, and Mgr. Thomas, for France. The date of the consistory depends upon the conclusion of the negotiations with Hunzary in re­ gard to the occupation of the See of Prague left vacant by the death of Car­ dinal SImor. Investigations recently undertaken by direction of the Pope are said at the Vatican to show that mixed marriages between Catholics and Protestants usually have a bad effect on both faiths. Several bishops have expressed the opin­ ion to the Holy See that such mixed marriages should be made more difficult. It is not yet known what decision the holy office will take on the subject In any case, the question has been opened, and will probabiy soon be determined one way or the other. Saussler Was Surprised. Le Temps, Paris, says that General Saussier, the Commander-in-chief of the French army of maneuvers, and the general who was looked upon as the man to take supreme command of the French forces In case of a war with Ger­ many, allowed himself to be surprised and hemmed in by the enemy's cavalry In the military maneuvers on a recent drill. The Temps adds that General Bolsdeffre, who was in command of the force representing the enemy, not being de6rous of capturing General Saussier, allowed his cavalry to be put to flight by General Saussior's escort A Talks Only of War. The Berlin Post says that, in congrat­ ulate g the Eriurt troops, Emperor William said: "Erfurt formed a serious point in our history. Here the Corsican parvenu most deeply humbled us and most horribly treated us. From here also In 1813 proceeded a stream of ven­ geance. I remember that for eight years my gracious grandfather's sharp glance rested with satisfaction upon the corps then commanded by General Plumenthal. Erfurt is. In fact, con­ nected with great mo nents. 1 am con­ fident that the corps will retain its smartness under jour excellency's leadership." Discipline In Germany. The Bqrliner Taeeblatt says: Tw> months ago the Captain of the Fi st Company of the Thirty-seventh Fu- sileers, stationed at Kotoschin, found a sentinel asleep.. On the /ollowing Sun­ day the Captain paraded them four times in succession. Twenty-one men were absent from the fourth parade and were afterward found walking abotft the streets. They were arrested, tried by court-martial, and sentenced to Im­ prisonment in a fortress for terms vary­ ing from eighteen to twenty months. The leaking out of the news has caused a sensation. • To Take Action In China.

Murderous Mongolians to Be Punished by the Powers. A dispatch from Shanghai says: China Is preparing a protocol to the powers on the recent riots. It is believed the for­ eign ministers will not wait for this doc­ ument the preparation of which is like­ ly to occupy several weeks. At Paris, the Chinese Charge d'Af- faires has visited Foreign Minister Ribot and af er informing him that *China recognized that the measures hith­ erto taken to protect Europeans in China were insufficient, assured him that the' negligent mandarins would be dismissed and the rioters punished. He added that six of the latter have already been hanged. It Is feared, however, that these promises will remain a dead letter. The Berlin correspondent of the Lon­ don Standard telegraphs that the Ger­ man Foreign Office has been receiving disquieting news from China within the last day or so. China, according to these advices, is unable to fulfill her promises made to the representatives of the Powers that she would punish those who were implicated In the recent out­ rages upon foreigners and their prop­ erty, and that she would In future pro­ tect foreign residents from Injury. It is added that the rumors circulated in several quarters to the effect that France and Russia would not take part in wny joint action on the part of the combined fleets should it be decided that such a step is necessary, is pronounced to be untrue. It is also asserted that there is no doubt that Germany will in­ crease the number of her warships now in Chinese waters and that she will be prepared to take strong measures should they be needed to protect German sub­ jects or their property, or should she be called upon to take an active part in a naval demonstration against China- DEVOURING I'LAMES. Several Chicago Printers and 8tereotypers Are Badly Scorched. Shortly after 1 o'c'ock in the morning a fire, which had e\ldently been smolder­ ing for some time, burst o;it of each of the six floors of the building at No. 175 Monroe street Chicago, and the half- dozen firms doing business were cleaned out The gro ind floor was occupied by Wyckoff, Soamans & Benedict type­ writing machines; the second by the Jameson & Mor e Company, printers; th > third by the W. J. Jeff. rson Print­ ing Company; and the upper floors by Blomgren Bros. &Co , electrotypes and stereotypers. All of these firms suffer abso'ute loss on stock, though most of them are fully Insured. The building, comparatively a new' one, was owned by the Packing House Insurance Company, and sustained an Insured loss of about S~0,00'i. The damage to the stocks of the tenants Is variously estimated at from $30,000 to $50,000, so that at the most the loss In the aggregate will not exceed $70,000. Mexican Mevolutlonlsts. A dispatch from Laredo, Texas, says: While the plazas in this city and In Nue- va Laredo were crowded with peop'.e some parties unknown distributed a dodger printed in Spanish called "APian of Revo ution." It set forth that Mexi­ co was in the toils of a second t-anta Ana, referring to President Diaz, and all lib­ erty-loving people should jo!n in a revo­ lution to Secure Ills overthrow. The plan went on to name Catarina Garcia as chief leader or executive of tho revolu­ tion and Ruse Sandova', of border fame, as commander-in chief of the army. San­ doval is the man who crossed the river near here some months ago with seven men and was arrested by the civil au­ thorities, assisted by th" United States troops. After the clrcu ar referred to a man named 1 enzonia, foreman of Gar- cia's pape-% was arrested on the p'aza here. He is in jail, unab e to give bail. The general opinion he.e Is that the whole thing Is a hoax. A Brownvllle correspondent says: The best Information here shows that 1(0 men crossed tho river Omier near Camargo. They cut the telegraph wires, but communicat on was restored. The revolutionists have had a fight with a squad of armed customs guards rear San Mlgnel and lost some of their horses.
