HALSTEAD’S ANNOUNCEMENT. The Cincinnati Editor Proclaims Him- self a Senatorial Candidate. ame! e An enthusiastic reception to Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette, was given in Music hall in that city Saturday night by the republican clubs of Hamilton county. Gov. Foraker was among the prominent politicians Present, and his appearance was greeted with effasive applause. Mr. Halstead never appeared in better health, and with a trifle of nervousness replied to Mayor Mosby's flowery address of welcome. He ex- Pressed his gratification and surprise at the manifestation in his honor, and said that he had no grievance to air in regard to the rejec- tion by the Senate of his nomination as min- ister to Germany, which he said was brought about by misapprehensions that he was unable at the time tocorrect. The rejection turned out to be a kindness, as his ‘abroad accom- apo the mission most im; t to himself— restoration of his healt people of Onto to permit te ageing power rmi of the state to ass into the handed duateorste, and should the next legislature, which is sure to be republican, think it would be a good thin to elect, me United States Sensor, id ould regard it as a great honor and attem| to perform the duties of the office to the best of my ability, The object to be aimed at, how- bo Teprevented in, the Senate by: two Tepube mt nat re licans, atid no personal ambition should ‘be Permitted to interfere with that object.” W. H. Parham, on behalf of the country peo- ple of the county, made a brief address, in which he said Mr, Halstead had always been the negro’s friend. Gov. Foraker and others spoke in eulogy of the guest of the evening and of the republican party. ——_—e0—____ DEFIANCE OF THE SEALER. Thomas of the Black Diamond Takes His Craft tu Victoria A thrill of exultation swept over Victoria, B.C., Saturday evening when the sealer Black Diamond, recently seized by the United States revenue cutter Rush, sailed proudly into the harbor with the British colors flying gaily from her mast head. Cheer after cheer rang along the water front and the news flew over the city, causing great excitement. Capt. ‘Thomas came ashore at once and was con- gratulated on all sides, The Black Diamond had one American sea- mau on board—John Hakansson. He was ap- pointed special officer by the captain of the rev- enue cutter Rush, and ordered to take the Dia- mond to Sitka, Capt. Thomas of the Diamond, told Lieut. Tattle he would not sail for Sitka, but would bring his vessel to Victoria. If they wanted the Diamond to go to Sitka they would have to put a stronger crew than the schooner’s aboard. The Rush steamed away and Thomas sailed toward Onalaska, thinking that there were British warships in that vicinity and in- tending to demand protection. ‘THE ONE AMERICAN SEAMAN DEFIED. Capt. Thomas sailed into Onalaska harbor and boarded a schooner from Port Townsend. He was told there were no men-of-war in the vicin- ity. Thomas told the American seaman he would sail for Vretaux, which he did. He landed his Indians on the east coast of Vancouver island, The Kush took the Diamond's sealskins, about ‘80, but left everything else. The American sea- man has made an official report to American Vice-Consul Marvin, who has telegraphed the facts to Consul Stevens of San Francisco. The greatest satisfaction is felt here at the escape of the Diamond. It is thought the United States will certainly demand the return of the schooner, which the British government dare not give up. It will bring the matter to a speedy conclusion. THE DIAMOND CAPTAIN'S VERSION. Capt. Thomas, of the Black Diamond, gave the following as his version of the seizure: “July 11 we got in a catch of fifty-three seals, At 4 p.m. we sighted the United States revenue eutter Rush. She came up to us and ordered us to heave to. We did so. The chief officer came aboard and demanded our papers, We refused to give them to him, and he then got a serew-driver and screwed off the hinges on the locks in the cabin, then took the papers and 105 sealskins and all Indian spears ten bags of salt. Then he put John Hakansson, an able seaman, aboard with instructions to us not to interfere, as sailing master. Hakansson from start saw it was impossible to attempt to take charge of affairs in his own hands, and consequently lay in his bunk nearly the whole time, not attempting to interfere.” John Hakansson, the American seaman, sa; he was treated kindly by everybody on the schooner, When he was put aboard the Black Diamond he said to his officers: “Instead of taking her to Sitka they may go to Victoria,” They did not answer him. Mr. Hammiley, collector of customs, saia he is of the opinion that when Hakansson was put aboard the Black Diamond the people on the Rush did not care whether she came to Victoria or not, as long as she got out of the sea and stopped destroying seals, ——— ee ______ THE DERVISH LEADER KILLED. His Forces Routed by Gen. Grenfell’s Army—Fifteen Hundred Men Slain. Gen. Grenfell engaged the dervishes near Toski Saturday and completely routed them. Wad-cl-Jumi, the dervish leader, was killed. The dervish loss was 1,500 killed and wounded. The latest advices give the Egyptian loss as 17 killed and 131 wounded. One thousand der- vishes were made prisoners. Besides Wad-el- Jumi the slam on the dervish side include 12 emirs and nearly all the fighting men. Fifty standards were captured by the Egyptians, Gen. Grenfell marched out of Toski at 5 o’clock in the morning with a strong reconnoi- tering force of cavalry and camelry and ad- vanced close to the dervish camp. Making a feint of retreating, he drew the whole of Wad- elJumi's force to a point within 4 miles of Toski. Here the Egyptian infantry were held im readiness for an attack and a general action was at once beguv. The dervishes made a Sag defense, but were driven from hill to ill The Egyptian cavalry made @ succession of effective charges, in which Wad-el-Jumi and the emirs were killed. After several hours of fighting the dervishes were completely routed. The dervishes fought desperately, wing themselves upon the advancing coluinns re- peatedly and quarter. The crisis of the battle was reached when the dervishes at- tempted to turn the right of the tians, The steadiness of the troops was admirable. The cavalry here swept through the limes of the enemy, breaking them up. The cavarly pur- sued the retreating rebels for miles. Gen. Gren- fell ordered the gunboats to pick up fugitives and wounded. Gen. Grenfell, in his official rej of the battle, says that the dervishes repeated and desperate charges upon his men. They were met by the infantry in line of battle, sup- ported by he —— ussars and the tian cavalry. ptian horse artillery did excellent service. The dervishes numbered 8,000 fighting men.

The road was obstructed some eight or ten hours. see _____ A MARVELLOUS INVENTION. A New Railway That is Cheap, Fast and Safe. A special dispatch from Paris to the London Daily News says: “A press view took place yes- terday of the so-called ‘Chemin dg Fer Glissant’ or ‘Slide Railway,’ ou the Esplanades des Inva- lides, within the exhibition. The new inven- tion is a singularly original contrivance for en- abling trains to run, by means of water power, at a speed hitherto undreamed of, Arriving there without any intimation as to what a slid- ing railway might be. I at first mistook it for an overgrown switchback, with the humps smoothed away. “The train consisted of four carriages, af- fording room for about a hundred passengers. The carriages had no wheels, being supported at the corners by blocks of iron of a size some- what larger than a brick, which rested upon a double line of iron girders. In the middle of the line at regular intervals jutted out irregu- larly-shaped pillars, the use of which was not yet apparent. Having taken our seats, and the signal being given, we glided along ver gently for the space of a few yards, when sud- denly we gathered speed; two or three tugs were felt and we were flying on at the pace of an ordinary train, but as smoothly as a boat on a river. There was a clicking noise on the rails, but this, I was assured, was due toa defect in the construction of the slides, and would be remedied. The absence of ‘any vibration, shaking or ‘tail motion’ was wonderful. A slight jerk there was at regular intervals; but then, again, I was told that it was due merely to the shortness of the course and the inability to get up a proper e. In @ hydraulic trait pall. Ba et full faa that is to say at the rate of 140. to 200 kilometres, or 87 to 124 miles an hour, there would be almost no con- sciousness of motion. The journey down the length of the Esplanade only occupied afew seconds. Upon our safe return Mr. Pilter, chairman of the company which owns the invention, gave @ full account of it. The sliding railway was invented in 1868, by an engineer named Girard, who was killed in the Franco-German war, and it has been improved to its prevent state by one of his assistant engineers, M. Barré, “As has already been ‘mentioned, the hy- draulic carriages have no wheels, these being replaced by hollow slides fitting upon a flat and wide rail, and grooved on the inner sur- face. When it is desired to set the carriage in motion water is forced into the slide or skate of the carriage from a reservoir by com- pressed air, and seeking to scape, it spre over the under surface of slide, which it raises for uta nail's tl ness above the rails, The slides thus resting, not on the rails, but on a film of water, are in «perfectly mobile condition; in fact, the pressure of the fore- finger is sufficient to displace a carriage thus supported. The propeling force is supplied by the pillars which standat regular intervals on the line between the rails, Running under- neath every carriage is an iron rack, about 6 inches wide, fitted with paddies, “Now as the foremost carri pillar a tap on the automatically, and # stream of water at high ressure is directed on the paddles. This Srives the train on, and by the time the last carriage has gone past the tap (which then closes) the foremost one is in front of the next tap, the water's action beiug thus continuous. Fee ieces developed is almost incredible, There is some splashing on the rails at the start; but this diminishes the faster the train goes. To stop the train the small stream of water that feeds the slides is turned off, and the latter coming in contact with the rails the resulting friction stops the carriage almost instantly. “A water train running at over 100 miles an hour could, I was told, be pulled up within 30 ‘ds, could climb up gradients of 16 inches in the yard, descend them with equal safety, and run on curves of 44 yards radius, ‘This system would seem peculiarly adapted for elevated railways in cities, being light, noiseless, smooth, without smoke, fast and thoroughly under command, ‘The danger of running off the rails is reduced to a minimum, the center of gravity of the car- riages being scarcely more than a couple of feet from the rails. The cost of a metropolitan system would only be a third of one on the old lan, while in the open country its cost would | apedaton sis higher than the ordinary railway, but M. Barré tells me the expense would be in France an average of £3,000 a mile. Where no natural water supply is available a propelling machine every 12 miles or so would be sufi- cient to keep trains going at full speed. The consumption of coal per Danse one-tenth only of the usual fe “The importance of this may be realized by considering the statement that the Paris-Lyons company alone hasan annual coai bill of two million sterling. Nevertheless, it would be rash to predict the general introduction of the water system on railways. One objection, for in- stance, that occurs to me is its apparent un- suitability for goods traffic. M. Persil, the manager of the ‘Chemins de Fer Glissants,’ believes it will all but do away with the loco- motive engine. With respect to England, he believes that the disadvantage of the prosent slow method of crossing the channel will be- come so apparent that all opposition tothe tunnel will vanish. ‘I am ready,’ he said with enthusiasm, ‘to wager any sum that when the tunnel is made and our system has a trial peo- pie will go from London to Paris in two yars.’”” nee) eee McKinney Ahead for Governor.

From the New York Herald. The importance attached by the German government to the apparently trifling Wohl- gemuth incident, and the eyident desire of Prince Bismarck to pick a quarrel with Switzer- land on that account, have caused considerable surprise ‘to many persons, who cannot under- stand why a great power like Germany should use such menacing tone toward a little repub- lic which has willfully given no cause for offense and has simply exercised its right of affording protection to the political exiles of all nations, This right Germany might very naturally question and seek to limit, so far as her own subjects are concerned. That this it power, however, should bluster and reaten simply because one of her officials has got into a scrape in Switzerland is what no one who does not look beneath the surface can clearly understand. GERMANY’S MOTIVE EXPLAINED. To the Swiss in this city the motive for Bis- marck’s conduct is plain. Those among them who hayé taken little interest in politics at home say that the chancellor is anxious to bring about another war witli France, and in- tends to rouse the wrath of his old enemy by threatening Switzerland. ‘This explanation is all sufficient for them and they refuse to listen to any other, Those Swiss, however, who have taken an active part in politics at home, and especially the Swiss socialists, many of whom are now in this city, maintain that the chancellor's wrath iy roused against Switzerland and not against France, and that sooner or later an attempt will be made to pour German troops into the free republic. For years they have been ex- pecting such action on the part of Germany, and are now confident that the Wohigemuth incident will prove to be the prelude to the long expected attack. ive for this belief, Excellent reasons they which is based on incidents hitherto unrecorded and entirely unknown to the general public, According to them Switzerland was vented by a mere chance from giving substantial aid to France during her memorable contest with Germany, and it is the knowledge of this fact which has angered Prince Bismarck and will impel him to attack Switzerland at the first op- ortunity. The chancellor's silence on the sub- Jeet during the many yearsthat have elapsed since the Franco-German war is explained on the ground that Switzerland's proposed assist- ance to France was in the natare of a plot, and that probably no hint of any such action was given to the chancellor until quite recently, when there is r mn to believe That all the de- tails of the affair were made known to him by means of spies. WHY THE PLOT FAILED, The affair.was romantic enough. The Swiss nation sympathized with France, and Col. Wm. Rurstow thought that Switzerland ought to give her a helping hand. This Rurstow was a German by birth and a Prussian officer when the revolution of 1848 broke out. Joining the revolutionists he soon distinguished himself greatly and became known as the “general of the revolutionary movement.” As Marx was said to be the brains and Herwegh the poet, so Rurstow was said to be the sword of the revolu- tion. After the revolution was over he took refuge in Switzerland and was — professor of the science of war at the University of Zurich. His —— on all matters relating to war was considered as of the highest value, and the books which he wrote on the subject are still used as text books, A consistent ay of the Hohenzollerns, he gathered his friends around him when the —— war broke out and laid before them a plan for helping France. His scheme was approved of, each man present received his instructions and ina short time Col. Rur- stow had the satisfaction of knowing that sixty thousand men were prepared to cross the fron- tier at a moment's notice, All these men were volunteers, who believed that an attempt was being made to wrong France and that it was their duty to defend h They were well armed and thoroughly discipline confident that under Rurstow’s gui ce they could do some good work for their friend! neighbor. They were not socialists, and the’ leaders, with a few exceptions, were not. politi- cal exiles, but chivalrous Swiss gentlemen. So- cialists themselves say that the movement was not planned by revolutionists, and that the onl: really prominent revolutionist in it was Col thee lan of campaign devi hi e exact in of cam; levise by the Swiss leaders Ess not been divulged, aad as Rurstow is dead now it is not likely that it will ever be known. The first thing to be done was to puzh across the frontier, and everything was ready for the start when ereineagy the news came that the French army under Gen, Boar- baki had been defeated by the German troops under Gen, Von Werder. This defeat crushed all Rurstow’s hopes. Had Bourbaki succeeded the Swiss troops could have helped him to win more victories; but Rurstow now saw clearly that it would be sheer madness to lift a hand for France, Accordingly the volunteers were disbanded at the very time that Bourvaki’s troops were retreating across the frontier into Switzerland—there to be disarmed by Swiss soldiers on the ground that the law of nations did not permit them to wage war in the terri- tory of a neutral power, SWITZERLAND'S MEANS OF DEFENCE. In this way the plot failed, and so secretly had it been managed that only a few men know how really great it was. Rurstow kaew most about it, and he died a few years after the war. Of living men no one knows more about it than Carl Buerkli,a member of the Cantonal council in Zurich. The man who gave me the information prominent socialist who lived in Switzerland some years ago and heard all the details of the plotfrom Buerkli himself, According to this socialist the im ice of the plot lies in the fact that sixty thousand vol- unteers were found willing to fight for a cause which was, strictly speaking, not their own; and in which the c! of defeat were much greater than those of success, ‘o-day,” he continued, ‘Switzerland could raise a quarter of a million men, well drmed, well drilled and Prepared to die for their country. If Bis- marck’s troops dare to cross the frontier Ger- many will be taught the same lessons that the Boers taught England in South Africa.

Curious Gleanings From Ancient and Modern Lore About Precious Stones, From the British Jewelers’ Review. Each gem is supposed to possess certain quali- ties which are its special dowry. The origin of this practice can generally be traced in the etymology of the word, or in the myth or legend attached to each gem in the country where it was first found, Many of them are doubtless of Persian or Semitic origin, but the Greek mythology contains them neatly all, Thus, Adamas or diamond was a Cretan youth transformed by Zeus into a brilliant and placed among the stars, Amethyst was another godly favorite, whom Diana turned into « purple- tinted stone, to which Bacchus added the color of wine. To some such origin, and chifly from the color of the gems, their various qualities owe their prestige in ancient and modern lore, The kingly diamond, which has the ap- panage of aristrocracy, is the symbol of justice, Innocence, constancy and poyeryty d of fate, Camillo Leonardus assures us that it bafiies the boy maui Spe and the bared om ese erat moreover, tect ies agai those horrible noctural visitors—incubese ‘The Koh-i-noor was for centuries the tailsman of India, and when, = ago, the governor of Borneo offered $500,000, two equipped war brigs and numbers of cannon for the famous stone of Matan, the Rajah refused, on the plea that the fortunes of his family were connected with it and that the water in which it was dip- ped cured all diseases, Not less powerful was the sapphire, so useful once to the necromancer, or the holy stone as it was called, being the emblem of chastity, and securing the granting of all prayers.
