Why, cer- tainly; but I have not as yet become a can- didate for the nomination,” said Chauncey M. Depew yesterday at Chicago. Then Mr. Depew went on to explain that the St. Louis reporter had misunderstood a pleasantry for @ serious statement when he wrote out the interview to the effect that the great rail- way president was an avowed seeker for the people's greatest gift. “The candidate who begins running thus early will lose his breath before 1896,” con- tinued Mr. Depew, “and should b “tain a big lead would find all other cand._..es con- spiring against him. Hold the convention right now and the nominaticn would le be- tween McKinley and Reed, but it can’t be said what two years may bring forth in the way of eligibles. “There is a precedent for Gen. Harrison's Te-election. Mr. Cleveland was retired and came in again. Why shouldn't the general do sq?

GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS COBURG, Germany, April 18.—The weath- er is splendid, the streets are thronged with people in holiday attire and all the accom- medation at the hotels, cafes, boarding houses and private houses thrown open for the occasion has been secured by the thou- sands of visitors anxious to be present at the royal wedding of the Duke of Hesse and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg. The royal standard of Great Britain is floating over the ducal palace, and on all sides are to be seen flags, flowers, bunting, triumphal arches, Venetian masts and pic- , tures of the bride and bridegroom, the Grand Duke of Hesse and the Princess Vic- toria of Coburg. During the morning the band of the First Dragoon Regiment played under the win- dows of the apartment which Queen Vic- years old, eight stone seven pounds, was third. There were forty-two entries. Only eleven ran. ROUND AND ABOUT EUROPE. MADRID, April 18.—The quarrel between Senor Moret, minister of foreign affairs, and the Marquis of Mochades, which, it was be- lieved, was to end in a duel, has been set- tled by the intervention of the president of the senate. MARSEILLES, April 18.—A violent hail- storm swept over this city this morning. Hailstones as large as walnuts fell over the city and neighborhood, causing great havoc among the orchards. CRACOW, April 18.—The fire at Pradisch, Moravia, destroyed the ladies’ school, tho hotel, Franciscan monastery and the church tower, which fell into the market place. The annual market was being held at Pra- disch at the time and consequently large numbers of people were present at the con- flagration, in addition to the regular inhab- itants. The fall of the church tower caused a panic, during which a number of people were injured by being trampled upon. No loss of life is reported. LISBON, April 18.—The cholerine epidemic here is increasing and causes much anxiety. ‘The authorities are doing everything possi- ble to stop the spread of the epidemic. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 18.—Dispatches from Armenia announce many disasters from the floods and snow falls in the dis- tricts of Van and Erzeroum. Houses and stores which have been undermined by the floods have collapsed and many people have been killed. In addition, large numbers of cattle have been drowned, and communi- cation between many of the towns in the flooded districts has been interrupted. The snow fall continues. SYDNEY, N. 8.W., April 18.—Two masked robbers yesterday entered the Commercial Bank of Barraba, in the Darding district, and summoned the manager, Mr. Mackay, to surrender and deliver up the money con- torla occupies in the palace, and many thousands of people gathered upon the | Square in front of the palace in order to _ hear the music and cheer the distinguished personages who were recognized going and coming from the ducal schloss. The morning was mainly devoted to a continuous exchange of visits between the Preah royal personages assembled in this ty. Queen Victoria during the afternoon, ac- companied by the Princess Alexandria and Beatrice of Coburg, drove through the town and viewed the decorations. In view of the great number of people who are flocking into Coburg the greatest precautions have been taken in order to prevent a possible attempt upon the life of some member of the royal families. Conse- quently the town is full of detectives of all nations, and every person falling in any de- gree under suspicion is carefully watched and will be under surveillance until all dan- ger of an attempt at assassination is past. All hotel keepers and others furnishing board and lodging to visitors are required to furnish the names and descriptions of their guests to the local authorities. In ad- dition, the police are making regular rounds of all such places in order to satisfy them- selves that the town is free from anarch- ists. Especial attention is being paid to the safety of the czarewitch, who is considered to be in more danger than any other :im- portant personage now present at Coburg. In addition to his body guard of Russian Police, the czarewitch has attached to his person some of the most experienced police ents in Germany. ‘he Queen of England, in addition to the special English policemen who have been guarding her during her sojourn at Flor- ence, Italy, has also been given a guard of German detectives, although her majesty expressed herself as being perfectly satis- fled with the police escort which has been accompanying her. The ducal palace and all the other bulld- ings in which members of royal or imperial families are quartered are guarded, night and day, by uniformed police, troops and detectives, making it almost impossible for an anarchist to approach dangerously near the temporary habitations of the distin- guished visitors. Particular attention is also being paid to the safety of Emperor William of Ger- many; the body guard of detectives who accompanied him to Abbazia will follow him to this city and keep constant guard over his imperial majesty. The Prince of Wales has two British detectives attached to his person and he claims that even this Precaution is unnecessary. But, in spite of the prince's unconcern, a detail of Ger- man police will watch over his safety while the heir apparent of the throne of Great Britain ts in this city. At 1:10 ex-Empress Frederick of Ger- many, accompanied by Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia,and the Princess of Saxe- Meiningen, arrived from Meiningen and were welcomed, at the railroad station, by the Duke and Duchess of Coburg. Im- mense crowds of people surrounded the depot and cheered the imperial visitors, who were also heartily greeted as they drove to the ce. the Allgemeine Zeitung, pala It is stated by upon the authority of a prominent diplo- mat, that an attempt was to have been made upon the life of Emperor William of Germany during the latter's stay at Ven- ice, and that the attempt was only frus- trated by the vigilance of the police. THOUSANDS AT ST. PETER’S The Pope Celebrat ceives the Spat ROME, April 18.—This was the day fixed upon for the beatification of Juan D’ Avila Diego of Cadiz, and some 15,000 pilgrims from Spain are in this city, in order to be present as far as possible at the ceremon- lea The Spanish pilgrims, headed by fifteen bishops and by large numbers of priests, marched to St. Peter’s this morning, where the pope officiated. After the pope had celebrated mass he sat on the throne and listened to an ad- dress delivered by the Archbishop of Se- ville, who expressed the devotion of the Catholics of Spain to his holiness.

BERLIN, April 18.—An important de- cision was arrived at today by the commit- tee of the reichstag which is considering the tobacco taxation bill. The committee objected to clause four, which contains cardinal provisions, rendering manufac- tured tobacco dutiable. Eventually the clause was rejected by a vote of 17 to 11. The majority consisted of the centre, fretsinige, social democrats and anti-Semite members. The committee, after rejecting this clause, adjourned. The vote is con- ee tantamount to the defeat of the Mr. Hall Obtained the Ruins, LONDON, April 18.—The action of Mr. Scott Hall against the Earl of Abingdon, the courts being asked to cancel the con- tract for the purchase of Cumner Place, on the ground that It was not the original place where Amy Robsart was killed, and that the ghosts of Amy Robsart, Varney and Anthony Foster did not appear there, as claimed by the auctioneer, was con- tinued today, and resulted in a judgment for the earl. The testimony of experts showed that the ruins of the original Cum- ner Place were on the property. The Irish Coercion Act. LONDON, April 18.—Mr. John P.

The Unemployed Turn to Congress— ‘The Question of How to Treat Them —A Lawyer Suggests Legislation. As Coxey’s ermy and the other bands re- por ..d to be on the march to join him ap- proach Washington, the question “What shall we do with them?” is becoming more and more interesting, and is being serious- ly discussed. Letters written to The Star have touched on nearly all sides of the question. Rev. E. 8. Todd, pastor of Ham- line M. E. Church, writes as follows: “The public has been highly amused of late over the advance upon the capital of the army of the unemployed led by Gen. Coxey. Each day's march has been written up by the press as a new feature of a grow- ing joke. May it not be possible that un- derneath all this is something positively | sad, and that back of it is a condition of things that gives ground for serious ap- prehension? That the country has fallen upon a time of severe and protracted finan- cial depression cannot be questioned, even by those who are deaf and stone blind. The | cry of the unemployed laborer is very bit- | ter. He knows this is a lend of plenty, he | 1s conscious of his willingness to work, yet is forced to stand idle in the market place while his children want bread. The con- tinuance of this condition is a severe strain | on his forbearance and law-abiding habits. If he could see any necessity for this condi- tion of things, or had an explanation of its Sanson, he might be content to suffer and wi Is it strange that he should think that something is to blame, and that the respon- sibility rests somewhere? Recognizing his inability to solve the problem, the working man turns to Congress as the highest source of knowledge and power that he knows anything about. The conviction that Congress fully appreciated the situation | and was earnestly grappling with it would | tend to allay the agitation. Sometimes to the working man this is not apparent, but | it seems to him from a distance as though Congress was the scene of a daily struggle | in which party interests were paramount | over the cries of hundreds of thousands of idle and hungry men. So far as the present | movement is an attempt to bring to the notice of Congress the distress which the wealth and station of the individual mem- bers kept them from realizing, it will be difficult for the average American citizen to understand in what they are offending, or why there should be even the talk of haling them to prison. It is probable that when the army of the unemployed reaches Washington its paucity in numbers and the miserable condition of thé rank and file will be the occasion of new ridicule, but it will also be true that back of these few unfortunates is a great host of working men, who will carefully note the manner of the reception of the army at the na- tonal capital. | Vhile it may not be apparent wh: should be done in the present case, it is quite evident what should not be done. treat as tramps and criminals those who exercise their right to peacefully set forth, in the only way possible to them, | their necessities would not only be unjust, | but In the highest degree unwise. A valua- ble page of history just now for the Ameri- can citizen is that which gives the record of what ts known in English history as the peasants’. revolt. The story is very simple. Circumstances had combined to make the lot of the peasants unbearable. Parliament, instead of trying to relieve the situation, made new and more oppres- sive laws, going so far as to pass a law regulating the wages they should receive. A petition for redress was met by a new enactment, which forbade the peasant from | going out of his parish to better his con- | dition, Thus capital was arrayed against labor, and the government, with the no- | | bility, the judges and the high dignitaries | of the church, were alienated from. the | masses and the masses from them. Parlia- | | ment, goaded on by rich landlords, lawyers | and, alas, the church, finally laid the last straw on the rons back, and the long- patient animal became desperate. The ar-) guments used by the peasants to set forth their woes sound so like those of the pres. | ent day that it hardly seems possible that | | they were uttered some hundreds of years ago. “Good people,” said John Ball, speak- | ing to the churchyard of Kent, “by what right are they whom we call lord: folk than we? On deserved it? If can they say or prove that they are better | than we? Yet they are clothed in velvet. and warm in their furs and their ermines, | They have leisure and fine houses; we have pain_and labor, the rain and the wind in the field. And yet it is of us and of our | toll that these men hold their state.” The terrible condition of anarchy which follow- ed, in which many hundreds of the nobility, lawyers and clergy lost their lives, and much valuable property was destroyed, could easily have been prevented by a wiser and more humane policy on the | part of those in authority. This they real- | ized when London was in possession of the peasants and mob law reigned. The re- volt of the peasants was suppressed, but, all the same, the end was reached. The wrongs of the past were brought to the| notice of the government in so forcible @ way that they were soon righted. Fortunately, the workingman of our day has no such wrongs to charge against the law or the ruling classes. He is not em- bittered, but inclined to be patient and look on the best side of things. Nevertheless, {t would be the height of unwisdom to | needlessly wound or alienate him. The growth of socialism is rapid enough in the country without deliberately turning over @ host of working men into that camp.” Legislation Suggested. A member of the bar writes: “I beg to call attention to some provisions of the act of Congress of March 3, 1891 (WU, S. Stats. at L. 26, p. 1,014-1,015): “The following classes of aliens shall be excluded | from admission into the United States, In accordance with existing acts regulating | immigration other than those concerning | Chinese laborers: All idiots, insane per- sons, paupers or persons likely té become a public charge, persons suffering from a loathsome or a dangerous contagious dis- ease, persons who have been convicted of a felony or other infamous crime or misde- meanor involving moral turpitude, polyg- amists and also any person whose ticket or | passage is paid for with the money of another or who is assisted by others to come, unless it is affirmatively and satis- factorily shown on special inquiry that such person does not belong to one of the foregoing excluded clas &e.’ Sec. 1. “That any person who shall bring into or land in the United States by vessel or otherwise, or who shall aid to bring into or land in the United States by vessel or otherwise, any allen not lawfully entitled | to enter the United States shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, on conviction, be punished by a fine not ex- ceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or by both jsuch fine and imprisonment.” Sec. 6. “Now all repressive and penal legislation is the result of a public sentiment demand- ing the protection of the community, the maxim being that self-preservation is the first law of nature. It was such a demand that called for federal legislation in re- spect of checking foreign immigration. And if the District of Columbia, the capital of the nation, is to be periodically invaded by an innumerable number of unemployed persons under irresponsible leaders for sinister, suspiciour or unlawful purposes that disturb the puolic peace the Commis- sioners of the District may find themselves called upon to appeal to Congress for im- mediate legislation that will impose sum- mary penalties upon the organizers, abet- tors and common carriers on parallel lines with legislation enacted to control foreign immigration.” —_—_—_ A Theosophist’s View of Coxcy. In referring to the so-called “Coxey movement” in your leading editorial last evening you say: | Sympathy with the movement is wide- spread and unreasoning, few people having ‘argued out the conclusion that a man who claims to have with him two or three in- dividuals who are reincarnations of great men long dead, and who is satisfied that Christ himself ‘in the flesh is one of the band now voyaging on the Chesapeake and | Ohio canal toward this city, cannot be | much less than insane. | I believe the above statement to be mis- leading for the following reasons: |" ‘The general orthodox belief among Chris- | tians is that in the person of Jesus Chri: “dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily, (hence, to such, one claiming to be a rein- | carnation of Jesus would be making him- | self equal with God. Now, there are many | denominations among the churches who deny the especial divinity of Jesus, and | believe him to have been merely a great and good man; on this point Mr. Coxey “Jesus was merely a reformer like | ” i=] BOARDING.

The whole truth of the matter is that these well-meaning men have indu! in the same figurative language we h from the pulpit on all occasions about the second coming of Christ in the hearts of men, whenever there is hope of any great reform being accomplished which shall benefit humanity. Lastly, two-thirds of the human race to- day believe in reincarnation; that men are reborn again as human beings many times | to gain the experiences which shall fit them to enjoy eternal life, when they shall be one with the Father in heaven. The Theosophical! Society, which contains many people who have won a world-wide reputation in art, Hterature and science, has been for many years an advocate of the doctrine of reincarnation. A.

The steamship George Sealey arrived at New Orleans yesterday from Bluefields,Nic- aragua, bringing news to April 12 as fol- lows: “On the eve of the 6th instant a small schooner arrived from Greytown, bringing mail and several Nicaraguan officials. Among these, to the great surprise of even | Lacayo, was the Wilson murderer, Norbut Arguello, late acting governor of Rama, nd to avoid violence he was thrown into Jail. “In the mail brought here by the same Schooner came a tel¢eKar~ Hon. S. C. Braida) to look up his official | books and papers and await further orders. The invaders were jubilant over this addi- | mit to the laws of Nicaragua, and that Car- los A.Lacayo will never permit Robert Hen- ry Clarence, chief of the Mosquito Indians, to resume the control of the municipal and national affairs of Bluefields and the Mos- Quito reservation. “There is a rumor, unconfirmed, that the exequator of the British consul, Mr. Bing- ham, has also been revoked. Her majesty's ship Magicienne is still here, having re- lieved the Canada on the morning of the 34 instant. While the town is quiet this evening, we do not know what the morrow may produce, and, necessarily, we are con- stantly under arms, ready to prove that we are Americans.” <be- = Turned Over to the City. The President has issued a proclamation transferring the abandoned military reser- vation on the site of the old Fort Bliss cemetery, at El Paso, Tex., to that city for use as a public park. ————-~.____ Robbed Left to Burn. It has now leaked out that Joshua Santee, who was dragged out of the saw mill fire at Leisenring, on Mount Yeager, in Luzerne county,Pa., a week ago, and who died short- ly afterward, was foully dealt with. The | detectives say that they know the guilty parties. Santee slept in the office of the mill, and had in a chest in the room $500 in gold and $400 in bills. He was first drugged, and to cover up the crime the robbers pour- ed kerosene oil from the office to the mill, and after igniting it fled. FINANCIAL. 1 “rom United | . = FINANCIAL. es ‘B. H.
