McKinley at the Mechanics’ Hall camp fire in Boston Wednesday night was an unexpected delight for the veterans. Both spoke extem- poraneously, hotly and eloquently. The state- ment of Senator Allison that since the House passed the new pension bill and up to the 8th of August 319,000 claims had beer filed under it gave point to the debate. Gen. Butler said: “My comrades: I think you have had quite enough of praise, of gratitude and expressions ‘ef your gratitude to the eit of Boston. Iam one of the ungrateful ones [laughter] and I be- hheve Tam going to speak to you on that topic which everybody else has—that nobody will ever pay you what they justiy owe to us for our services in the war. [Applause] I hear that we are banded together. Well, we are. We are the old organization of 1861 that came to- We Lave, many of us, seen our disabled and dependent brothers in arms, their wives and their children, and we have put our hands ip our pockets and distribu liberally, very liberally—no men more liberally—to keep them out of the poor houses of our land, just as lib- erally as we put our hands in our pockets to pay the war taxes out of our pay as fast as we gotit. Now then, that was well for our hearts: weil for the good of this country and we appre- ciate it very much. It was well for all Ameri- can soldiers, for it showed what an American soldier would do. “a DEBT—IT MUST BE PAID.” “But now we are organized for another pur- pose, for the purpose of demanding justice of this country. I am tired of hearing of the bounty of this country toward us. I will ex- cuse the country from ever giving the soldier a ounty in the they owe us and what they took out of our pockets [applause] and put in the pockets of the banker and the capitalist. “I have nothing to say against the banker or the capitalist; they made as good # contract as they could; that they hada right to do, and they took care to force that bargain. We, many of us, the private soldiers particularly, made very bad bargain pecuniarily. We ne thoughtabout the pay, except asa tittle pit- tance which we could send home to the wives and children whom we had left behind. And, in fact, we never went into the contract for the pa “By nature and every fair interpretation of law, of right, of justice and of honor, we can compel this country, if we come together, to pay us.

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., of England, who has just arrived on American shores for @ respite of three months before the autumn ses- sion of parliament, is now resting at the home Of his wife’s father. ex-Necretary of War Will- iam P. Endicott, at Salem, Mass. On being asked how the Behring sea contro- versy concerning the seal fisheries was regarded in England, Mr. Chamberlain replied that when he left home there had been but a brief tele- graphic report of the correspondence between Secretary Biaine and Lord Salisbury, and on that accouné the public mind had not been able to form an opinion or receive any very definite impression. He said: “So far as I elf undorstand the case there acems to be two leading features. First, that the people of the United States demand some arrangement for the protection of the seals, which they all ill be destroyed to a point dangeronsly near extermination f unrestrained fishing is allowed. And. second. that there ap- pears to be some doubt in their minds whether toset upaclaim for a closed sea. As to the demand that the seals should be protected, there cannot possivly be any difference be- 2 the two nations, Eagland is not only etly willing to preserve the seal fisheries and is ready at all times to accord every neces- sary protection, but she has, in fact, an especial interest to do so, since more than 5,000 people m London are employed in the curing and dyeing of the sealskins. ‘This is an open and plain fact, and it seems to me strange that it has been left out of account by the American government in its consideration of the case. here cannot possibly be any ground for # quarrel—it seems wrong to use that word—but even for any difference of opinion. It now or at any t there oceurs any misunderstanding, though it be of the slightest, England is ever Teady to meet the United States in any reason- able way to settle disputes.” BEHRING NOT A CLOSED BEA. As to the claim that has been set up by the United States for aclosed sea, Mr. Chamber- Jain declared such a position to be absolutely unparalleled. He said with much earnest- ess “Behring'sea is no estuary or lake. It is an immense open sea and canuot by any construc- tion be claimed as a mare clausum, and it be- Jongs not to one country, but to all the nations of the world. The claim which has partially been set up by the United States is especially surprising since her eminent authorities on in- ternational law have alwuys insisted with par- ticular emphasis upon the complete and uni- vei reedom ot the high seas.” Mr. Chamberlain was shown the following excerpt from a letter of Sceretary Blaine to Lord Salisbury: “Whence did the ships of Canada derive the right to doin 1886 that which they had re- frained from doing for more than thirty years? Upon wat grounus did her majesty’s govern- ment defend in the year 1886 a course of con- duct in the Behring sea which she had care- tully avoided ever since the discovery of that fea? So great has been the injury to the fish- eries by Canadian vessels that whereas the government had allowed 100,000 to be taken auuually for a series of years it is now com- pelied to reduce the number to 60,000. If four | years of violation of natural law and neigh- bor’s rights had reduced the annual slaughter of seul by 40 percent, it 1s easy to see how ehort required to work the total extine { the fisheries. “The ground upon which her majesty's gov- ernment justifies or at least defends the course of the Canadian vessels rests upon the fact that they are committing their acts of destruction on the high seas, viz, wore than three marine leagues from the shore line. It is doubtfal whether ‘s government would abide t were made to inter- fere with the pearl fisheries of Ceylon, which extends more than twenty ime, and have been enj ; out molestation ever since their acquisition; nor is it creditable that modes of fishing on the Grand Banks, altogether practicable but high ructive, would be justified or even pertuitted by Great Britain on the plea that the ous acts were committed more than three miles from shor THE CEYLON PEARLS. After reading the above carefully, Mr. Cham- berlain thought a moment before replying. Then refer first to the latter portion of the question, he said: ” - the consideration which Mr. Bisine the attitude which Great mado makes here regarding juin would take ifanv attempt we to interfere with the pearl fisheries of Ci is based upon a pu hypothetical assump- tion. fhe fact that Pearl fisheries of Ce: Jon have been enjoyed by England without mo.estation ever since their acquisition docs not by any means mify that she either re- gardé now, or in an event similar to that of the present Ucbring sca difficulty would regard, the waters of that place as her mare clausum and the same is true of the fisheries on the Grand Banks. I think it would be more proper for such a consideration to be made when the question should arise. As to the extent of the injury which is here said to have been done to the seal fisheries by Canadian vessels, it seoms to me that, since both the United States and England are alike interested to preserve ard protect the fisheries, the question is one, not so much for Secretary Blaine and Lord Salis- bury to decide as it is for scientific experts in the matter.” It was suggested to Mr. Chamberlain that bo- sides the rights of international law thert was the argument of bouos mores, which had been insisted on es applicable to the present ease. upon & amberlaiu replied. certainly, but the issue hinges different term. There are national and inter- patioual courtesies, and concessions are oftea and rightly made to preserve amity, but to de- maud as right <liffers very materially from re- questing as a favor, and an offense against a your debts; pay your soldiers, pay what you onestly agreed to. a “The law now remains on the statute book that we were to be paid in gold. The country could not pay us then aud we didn’t grumble. We went on fighting. We ient the country our lives and our limbs and kept on lending although everybody was paid but the poor sol- dier. Now we want ours. We were willing to wait even when we got over the war, and the people were bound down—the country was not prosperous at first—poor and in debi, and we stood back and let the banker and the broker and the capitalist have his. ADMITS HE If UNGATEFUL. “I don’t expect the country to pay it in one day or one year. But every once or twice in three mouths let an adequate part of the of each man, arranged on a fair basis, on a fair equalized basis, be paid to every man, so that everybody shall have a support while he lives, however improvident he may be, and after he dies that his widow and his family may be pro- vided for. That will be the only recompense that should be made or that we should accept; and if God ever strikes this country for sin it will be because this country, with flourishing trade and commerce, with flourishing prosperity, with the power to pay to its sol- diers their fa‘r share year by year, refuses to do it. And God in Heaven ought to send his lightning bolt on this earth in this neighbor- hood it they do not do as they ought to do.

The eighteenth annus! regatta of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen was finished yesterday by six of the best races ever rowed over the Lake Quinsigamond course. ‘The day was perfect, the iake’s surface being: barely ruffied by eslight breeze from the south. This breeze proved most acceptable to the 8,000 spectators, who watched the contests with increasing interest. The arrangements were perfect, the races being promptly called and efficiently conducted. First came the final heat in the senior singles, the following being the starters: Wm. Caffrey, Lawrence Canoe Club; Edward J. Carney, Institute Boat Club; Fred'8. Hawkins, Metropolitan Rowing Club. Caffrey crossed the line a winner in 10.18%, with Carney second in 10.3434.

When the word was given the Bradfords were away first, pulling 42 strokes to the minute. a pace they did not long hold. ‘The Atalantas Went off with 38 to the minute, pulling a clean stroke, and soon the positions were: Atalantas, Bradfords, Columbias. Wachusctts. Tue ditfer- ence betwoen the first three was very slight, Atthe end of the mile the swing of the Ata- lantas had carried them three lengths to the front, while the Bradfords were doing ragged work. ‘The Atalantas finished cu ners in 8.12%;, the Bradfords’ time being 8.20! the Columbias’ 4.3134 and the Wachusetts’ 8.32}¢.

I don’t want anything to do with politics, but lam willing to do anything I can for the remaimimg years of my life. which are few, before me to see justice done to the Grand Army of the Republic.” [Applause and cheers.) M'KINLEY'S ANSWER. Maj. McKinley was the next speaker in order. He rose with greater alacrity than he ever dis- played, even in the House. His hips were com- pressed. His eyes flashed. He spoke with y. for he had enlisted in his teens to Tum forced to dissent from the statement of the distinguished gentleman who has just —- when he said that the Grand Army of the Repuvliec, many of whom sit before me to- night, had been engaged in a bad bargain. It is not true. [Loud applause.] No more hon- orable obligation ever made. No more worthy contrect was ever entered into by human kind than that contract you entered into in 1861 to save our flag and preserve this Union to mankird. [Cheers.] And there is not a veteran here before me, there is not a veteran throughout the length and breadth thie Union, who would give up his relation to that great contract for the wealth of Boston or the money of the world, [Tremendous applause.) If there is such a one in this vast audionce let him speak out tonight. and speak out now. [Loud applause and cries of ‘Not one.’}] It was a good bargain, for it saved to mankind now and hereafter the freest government upon the face of God's earth.” Gen. Butler (with a gesture of dissent)— “And the most unjust.” At this point there was some little confusion. One gentieman seated just in the rear of the reporters’ table endeavored to explain to Maj. McKinley that he had misunderstood Gen. But- ler. Maj. McKinley, continuing, said: “Gen, Butler caunot outdo me in desiring to the old soldiers of this republic the most gen- erous offers from the nation’s treasury. [Ap- plause.} I have stood in my place, as Gen. Butler stood in his place, voting for the most liberal pensions to the soldiers of the Union. [Applause.} And I shall continue to do it 80 as I am honored with a aeat in the House of Representatives. [Tremendous applause and loud cheering.] Of that yreat volunteer army, the citizen soidiery of this couutry, too much eaunot be said by the present generation in their praise. They were the majestic power that stood behind the tactician; and his intelli- gence and individual earnestness acting by his commander's genius made possible the’ vic- tories which were won, Aud while the private soldier bore no orgy oe of rank but his blue biouse, under that he bore a heart within. [Applause.} ~But above all, comrades, we must not forget the rights for which we fought. We have only to remember as an organization that that which we won in war shail not be lost in peace, and all we ask or all we have ever asked is that the settlement of that war, the grand settle- ments made between Grant and Lee at Appo- mattox and which were afterward embodied in the Constitution of the United States, shall stand as an irreversible judgment to history and the imperishable decree of a Union of free- men.” see MRS.

Two Men Get Into the Rapids and are Unable to Make ‘Their Escape. About 11 o'clock yesterday morning Thomas Glynn, a hackman at Niagara falls, while driv- ing around Goat Island, had his attention di- rected by the occupant of his carriage to a man and boat in the rapids above the Horseshoe falls, The party watched him for a few minutes and saw hima swept into the rapids. The boat was soon upset and passed over the falls and the man disappeared. A message was sent to Chip- pewa, «village above the Horseshoe falls on the Canadian side, asking if avy one there had been seen going out into the river in a boat or was missing. A reply was reccived saying that aman named Fleck, who had been down on Dutferin Isiund, had reported seeing two men outin the river some distance from the shore and immediately above the rapids, They were struggling desperately to gain the shore, but their boat had drifted into the swift current and their efforts were useless. Sud- denly one of the men leaped overboard and at~ tempted to swim to the shore, but was carried down into the rapids and swept over the falls, The other clung to the boat and was also swept over the falls. Who the men were and where they got the boat no one knows, as no boats are missing at Port Day on the American ide or Chippewa. The occurrence was ri ported to the police, who are keeping a look- out for the bodies below the falls, - 0° One Husband for Seven Wives, ‘Three weeks ago a southern woman about twenty years of age appeared in Manchester, N.H., and advertised herself ag “Mine.

SURF. F. K. Harlbut of Buffalo and Miss Sullivan of New York Die Together. The first drowning accident this season at Spring Lake, N. J., and the first that has hap- pended there for « number of years, occurred yesterday. The unfortunate victims are Miss Florence Sullivan, the twenty-two-year-old daughter of Thomas Sullivan, a New York merchant, and Frederick K. Huribut, a promi- nent business man of Buffalo, N. ¥., who leaves wife and a four-months’-old son in that city. E. Fritsch of New York, George E. Matthews of Buffalo and Frank Brewer of New York, who were with the party iu the surf at the same time, narrowly escaped. The sccident occurred at the bathing grounds in front of Hastings Square at noon. Hundreds of bathers were in the surf. A little out be- yond the crowd and in about four feet of water a group of five were breaking the incoming wave. There was nothing particularly inter- esting in the group and but little attention was paid to them until from across the waters came a shrill shout for help. Attention was imme: ately attracted to the spot and two white arms were scen to rise above the surf and then sink from view. To the watchers on the beach it seemed that brave efforts were being made by several in the surf to save the young girl who had just gone down. Inside of two minutes, however, it was evident by the confusion in the crowd that instead of saving the young woman five persons were likely to drown, All had be- come confusion, and the incoming billows were pounding the group of five about uumercifully, At the first shont for help Life G Benja- min U. Jackson sprang for his life line, and giving hasty directions about unwinding the line, jumped in the surf. The directions were misunderstood and some excited individual whose nume could not be learned threw the box and life line in the water after the life guard. Ta get it back on shore was but the wort of a minute, and Jackson again swam toward the drowning bathers, It took but a few short strokes to reach Mr, Fritsch, who was brought to the beach in a thoroughly exhausted condi- tion, While this was happening inexperienced hands had manned the life boat, and as they | launched it in the surf a he wave caine roll- ing in and threw the boat and its occupants back on the peach. Life Guard Jackson then assumed control and the boat was launched safely and quickly rowed to the struggling vic- tims in the surf. Hurlbut, who was floating in a lifeless condition on the surface, was next rescued, and life preservers were thrown from the boat to Matthews and Brewer, who seemed in a fair way to reach the beach withou: assist- ance. Meanwhile the body of Miss Sullivan had floated off shore with the current and her bathing skirts could be seen floating on the surface. Life Guard Jackson haa no sooner landed the body of Hurlbut than he again sprang into the surf and brought the body of iss Sullivan to the beach. Dr. B, Merrill Hopkinson of Baltimore, who was on the spot when the accident occurred, immediately gave his attention to Mr. Hurlbut. Drs, Kirkbrid and Hewson of Philadelphia and Dr. Miller of Cincinnati were also present, and every effort was made to resuscitate Mr. Huribut and Miss Sullivan. They were roiled until stout arms ached, and artificial respiration and hypodermic injections were used, but without avail Life was already extinct. The others, although thoroughly exhausted, were soon resuscitated aud are uow doing well, Dr. Hopkinson believes that Mr. Hurlbut’s death was wholly due to heart failure as there was but little water in the body. ee CENTRAL AFRICAN COOKERY, Queer and Palatable Dishes Without Much Ceremony. Eaten As a rule only one principal meal is eaten in Central Africa, in the early part of the even- ing. It usually consists of parrot soup, roasted or stewed monkeys, alligator eggs (also well liked by Eu:opeans) aiff birds of eyery description. They also have moambo, or palin chops,and fish. A great delicacy, 8o considered by Europeans and natives alike, is elephant’s feet and trunk. These have somewhat the taste of veal, To prepare them the natives dig a hole about five feet deep in the sand and in it build a large fire. After the sand is thor- oughly heated the fire is removed, leaving only the ashes in the hole, The truvk and feet are placed in this hole and covered with leaves, and afterward with hot sand. In two hours they are done, All carcasses of animale which are to be cooked are placed on a block of wood and pounded until every bone is broken, care being taken not to tear or bruise the skin. They are then boiled or roasted on an open wood fire or in hot sand or ashes, without removing the bide or feathers, The cooking is of a very inferior grade, the only spices used being salt and pep- per. The kitchen utensils consist of common earthen or wooden ware. Very little tune is tuken for setting or decorating the table; knives, forks and napkius are dispensed with. Africaas have several vegetables well liked by Europeans. N*gutti-n’sengo is a dish eaten ail over Africa, It consists of egg plant, small fich somewhat like our sardines and the roots of the cassava or manioca plant (called n'gutti), which have a knotty appearance and often weigh as much as twenty pounds. As the latter contains poison, the manioca is soaked in water for three to four days to ex- tract the poisonous substance. It is then cut and small tomatoes are added. All dina vessel with water and seasoned with salt and pepper and boiled. Moambo, or, as the Europeans call it, palm chops. is aléo a favorite dish. The palm nuts are first boiled in water until the balpy substance loosens from the pit, then the shell, which contains a very delicious oil, is placed in a wooder mortar and crushed to obtain the oil, Whatever the meal consists of, ment, fish, mussels. it is put in a vessel, adding the oil and the pulpy partof the alm nut, also red pepper and salt, and is oiled.

For peanut bread (chisulu) the peanuts are first roasted and then crushed. This mass is then rolled and put into the skin of a banana, adding a little pressure, forming it into a body. It readily retains this shape from the pressure of the oily substance in the peanut. RUSKIN’S SHATTERED STATE, The Celebrated Art Critic Attempts to End His Life With a Razor.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter. Physicians say that cases of nervous prostra- tion are less frequent since low heels have come inte more general use.

This neighborly person, witha turn of economy, does not keep a domestic, Why should she do so? If she has occasion to go out shopping in the morning she simply orders the parcels sent to the next door neigh- bor's address, and holds herself free for calling in the afternoon, ‘The servant next-door an- swors the delivery boy's ring and takes in the goods. When the Woman Next Door returns, the neighbor's servant answers the door bell and hands out the goods with a springing step and abeart grateful to Providence for the many opportunities of usefulness placed within her reach, The butcher boy is instructed to leave the steak next dour. The grocer leaves the kitchen supplies next door. The Woman Next Door has occasion to go down town, and leaves instructions next door to take in her husband until her return. The Woman Next Door goes down town again, and leaves the baby next door until she gets back. The Woman Kext Door instructs her callers to wait next door, in case she is out, And one day the neighbor's servant coldly no- tifies the mistress that she intends to leave at the end of the month, and she tells other peo- ple that she has grown wi of doing the work of two families for one wage, and that she was in hourly fear that the Woman Next Door would invite her in to wash the me! and help With the disnes, or Lave the soiled clothes sent over on washing es The Woman Next Door hears with regret it the servant next door has escaped, but TSecstesly ‘upon hee the mori upon way, neighbor jages two servants, one for herself and one for ihe Woman Next Door, or moves or dies and the Woman Next Door orders crepe for the funeral and hes the I delivered at the house of mourning. Woman Next ™ D.C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1890 Running the Gauntlet Pearline has been through it, but it has “got there.” Every othermodernimprovementhas had the same struggle. There's unbelief, pre: judice and misunderstanding—peddlers of imita- tions—the false statements of soapmakers and unscrupulous ocers tofightagainst. The old wayis hardto leave, even ifa tter way isopen. You can't believe that Pearline can do so much; then youcan’t believe that it’s done safely;—in the end, you can’t see how you ever did without it. That’s the story of millions—full of doubt at first, full of satisfaction at last. If you're at the doubtful stage, try it. You won’t know easy washing and cleaning ’till you do. same as Pearline.
