Take AYER’S the Only Sarsaparilla At the World’s Fair. IT LEADS All Other BLOOD Purifiers. AYER’s SARSAPARILLA. WORLD'S FAIR, cHIcaco, | ‘Ten drops of the genuine ANGOSTURA rEee, manufactured only by Dr. J. G. B. SIEGERT BONS, imgart a deticloas favor to cold drinks, and Prevent all summer diseases, ROSEBERY AND HARCOURT OUT. They Searcely Speak as They Pass By. Although parliament will not rise for a ‘week, says a London special to the New York times, all interest in its proceedings is dying out. The party debates are ended and only the annual supplies necessary for the expenses of administration are left to be voted. Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer and leader of the house of com- mons, will start on Tuesday for a long tour of the continent. It is doubtful whether he ever again will appear at the head of the Vberal commoners. When parliament shall Feassemble in the middie of January an- other will probably be found in his place, for the breach between him and Lord Rese- bery is known to have widened rapidly in the last weeks. They had been at odds for years before the list Gladstone cabinet was formed, and just before Mr. Gladstone's re- tirement had come to dislike each other Fancorously. The insecurity of the govern ment immediately after Mr. Gladstone's withdrawzl forced them to patch up a truce and speak flatteringly of each other in pub- lic. As soon as they felt the ministry firm im the saddle, however, they dropped all Superfluous courtesy, and now neither one ever alludes to the other in public. Outside this personal feud, moreover, «ll is not peace and harmony. The radicals have complained frequently in the commons that Sir William has not given sufficient time for the discussion of their pet schemes. To these complairts the invariable reply has been: “If you are not pleased with me you an easily remove me.” Mr. Gladstone has referred in private let- ters recently to the improvement of his general health, his eyesight and his hearing, and has spoken as if he might soon resume pubile speaking. These utterances have en- couraged the belief in some quarters that the cld man might return to parliament and rescue his party from the predicament. This is unlikely, yet, should he give more definite signs of his willingness to return he would be received by the liberais with open arms. ‘The present leaders are leaders only in mame. They excite no enthusiasm. When the evicted tenants bill shall re- appear in parliament next season it will have been xreatly broadened, so as to in- clude most of the récommendations made by the “Irish land committee. If the house of lords throw it out again Lord Rosebery will dissolve parliament at once and appeal to the country to setttle the whole question of the upper house’s existence. The govern- ment has promised that the evicted tenants bill shall run its course concurrently with the Welsh disestablishment bill. ‘This prom- does not satisfy some of the \Velsh members, and they are out once more with their threats of dire vengeance in case the ministers do not come up more promptly to the Welsh demands. David Lioyd-George, the belligerent Weish nationalist, who sits for Carnardon district, thinks that the gov- émmment will again break faith with his countrymen and that a general election must be held before the church in Wales can be disestablished. The government's uncertain attitude toward the Welsh and the Welshmen's suspicious attitude toward the government form one of the most serious Problems to be faced by the liberai party at the opening of the next session. A govern- ment defeat may be the issue of the situa- tion almost any day after the business of the session begins. ——_+e-+_____ ONE HUNDRED GO WEST. Gov. Brown's New Policy Regarding the Coxeyites. One hundred Coxeyites who went to sleep in the cells of the Maryland house of cor- rection on Saturday night will arrive in Cincinnati today, after having traveled the distance in two comfortable cars of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the ex- pense of the state of Maryland. The idea of sending these men out of the state origi- nated With Gov. Brown, who personally got them out of ihe house of correction early yesterday morning and took them to Baltimore. They left for Cincinnati in charge of several of the detectives of the Baitumore and Ohio railroad. No one knew ef Gov. Brown's intention until late Sat- urday, when he notified the railroad offi- cials that he would like to have an engine and two cars at his disposal at Camden Station abcut midnight. At that hour Gov. Brown was at the depot, and the special pulled out for Bridewell. Upon the arrival of the train, Gov. Brown had an interview with Superintendent Jesse Moore, and told him that he was there to take away all of the men who lived in the west. The list of names was carefully gone over, and it was found that one hundred of Coxey’s followers claimed the west as their homes. Then began the task of wak- ing up the men. They seemed overjoyed to think that they were to be released from prison walls. The best of order prevailed, and the men whistled and sang. At 3 o'clock every- thing was in readiness, and, with Gov. Brown at the head, the men marched down to the train. The Cincinnati train left Camden station @t 4 o'clock In the norning, and attached to it were the cars bearing the Coxeyites. Gov. Brown instructed the oificers in charge that the men were to be furnished with sandwiches and coffee at every convenient Place. When they heard this bit of news some of them almost went in ecstacies, and as the train rolled out of the roundhouse, the men gave three hearty cheers for the governor. Gov. Brown said last night that there were yet a great number of Coxeyites at the use of correction, and the number was ing increased, at the rate of thirty a day. ‘All this is a great expense to the state, and I intend to get rid of them as fast as possible.” It is the Intention of the gov- ernor to class the men according to the different sections of the country that they ¢laim as their homes, and as soon as this is done he will send them to those locali- ties in special trains. The Coxeyites who were and are still at the house of correc- tion have finished the read that they began to make soon after their incerceration, and it has been named “Coxey avenue” in their honor. —_——_<e-—______ CONGRESSMAN BYNUM MAY BE SUED. An Indiana Farmer Took Seriously One of His Campaign Predictions. A special dispatch from Indianapolis says that William Stanley, 2 farmer of Pendle- ton, Ind., is preparing to sue Congressman Bynum of Indiana for $1,500. During the last presidential campaign Stanley heard Mr. Bynum deliver a speech in which he me and sowed wheat ex- tensively and raised a crop of 2,000 bushels. This he declares he has been compelled to sell at different prices between and 5 cents per bushel. He will sue the C; man for the difference between what he realized and what he would have received had the Congressman’s assertions, on the | Strencth of which he was led to sow so Much wheat, been verified. Stanley was formerly a democrat, but is Row a populist. soo—__ A special dispate from Buenos Ayres Says that the S. warship Yantic ran aground la: Now water in the Parana ri Mothers, Save Your Children By using Stonebraker's Indian Gum Syrup f summer compl: We. and Be. per Lottie. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. A communication bas been received by The Star correspondent from the Emmanuel Church choir boys, now summering at Piney Point. Boating, bathing, crabbing, fishing and ball playing and foraging are ameng the amusements of the boys. Wed- nesday a game of ball was played between @ picked nine from the hotel and a nine composed of choir boys, or “E. C.'s," as they are called, and the youths frum Ana- costia were victorious. They have given several musical selections at the hotel and Cos in an entertainment there recently. est Elizabeth Heights are spending a few weeks at Ocean City. Albert Richardson is with his father and family at Emory Grove. Messrs. George Kellum, S. R. Mundell, Thomas Miles, B. Milstead and Mrs. Mary Crawford, comprising the finance committee of the Baptist Church, and otherwise known as the “siappy Five,” have completed ar- rangements for an entertainment to be given in the church, Fillmore and Jefferson streets, Monday night, September 3. Health Inspector Beaumont, in rely to the article in The Star on the garbage situ- ation in Anacostia, visited the town Satur- day and solicited the aid of The Star's rep- resentative in locating places which called for his attention. He states that he is de- strous of remedying any evils which exist in Anacostia, and all complaints made at the police station will be investigated on a near date. As a result of the efforts of the commit- ago assembied in mass meeting and took action favoring better fire protection, a oom- munication has been received from the Commissioners stating that fire alarm boxes will be placed in Anacostia. For the best of reasons the committee, which is composed of Messrs. H. A. Liner, H. A. Griswold, Dr. A. M. Green, R. B. Buckley and Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, will not push either the mat-. ter of a new station house, an engine house or the hose and hose carriage until the next Congress, when hopes are entertained of having these needs supplied. The fire alarm boxes will be placed as follows: One at Benning, at Twining City, at Good Hope, at Douglass Hall, at Hillsdale and one near the police station in Anacostia. Messrs. Jordan and Richardson have sold to H. A. Griswold lot No. 610 Jackson street for $1,800 and lot No. 616 Jackson street for $2,700. Both of these lots are im- proved by almost new dwellings. ——_—_ HYATTSVILLE.

E. Coffin, ex-state senator from this county. The fight was made principally against Lancaster as a delegate, by N. S. Plummer, a follower of Hall.

Walter Wellman was a former resident of Brookland, and still owns his picturesque little home up Fort street, on the brow of Bunker Hill, Sergt. John Kenny of Quincy street, University Heights, is well known from his adven- tures on the Polarfs in its search for the De Long party. Prof. Holm of Providence street was a member of the Danish royal scientific expedition which reached a high latitude in 1881. William H. King of Brent- wood road, who was assistant engineer of the Alliance, and Joseph Krause of Provi- dence street, who was also with the ..!l- ance, are other arctie explorers. “Mr, Krause has recorded in his diary that the highest official latitude reached by the Allian was eighty degrees ten minutes, and he, as well as the other gen- tlemen mentioned, fails to share in Mr. Wellman’s ambition, and never cares to again dare the dangers of the pack ice and the ice pocket, which showed them just how narrow their chances of escape can be in_the arctic currents. The Children’s service at St. <puent’s . E. Mission was well conducwl and ttended.

Ss SWEDEN'S NEW RAILROAD. , The Norther Part of the Country to Be Developed. A cable dispatch from Stockholm, Sweden, copyrighted by the Associated Press, says regarding the new railroad that runs the length of the peninsula: The northern part of King Oscar’s realm has often been call- ed Sweden's America, on account of its large, rich inland, which, although fertile, is still unsettled and uncultivated. Conse- quently, the poorer class of Sweden pre- ferred to emigrate to the United States, instead of seeking new homes in Norrland, the real name of this northern part of the kingdom. This emigration was caused by the fact that “Sweden’s America” lacked all communication by land with the capital and the most southern provinces. The coast cities also suffered in the winter from the ice-covered sea, just as much as the settle- ments in the inner part of the country had to suffer the whole year round. But, when it was discovered that Norr- land has stored a great many hidden riches, the government decided to grant money for the building of a railroad which would con- nect the alpha and the omega of the big kingdom. This northern trunk line of Sweden has now been completed. It was dedicated to King Oscar a few days ago, and at the same time opened for public traffic. King Oscar is said to be Sweden's ablest orator, and he made the speech of his life upon this occasion. The festivities surpassed everything seen in this part of the world at a similar event, and will go down to posterity as an epoch in Sweden's history, In order to understand this, one rhould read a few facts about the just completed railroad. It connects Boden, near the Gulf of Bothnia, Wi the northernmost rail- road in Swed€n‘and in the whole world, running from the* seaport of Luleap to the Gellivara irom'ore mountains, forty-seven miles north of tHe polar circle. This road has been in optr&tion for a couple of years, and may be consMered as the end-piece in the continuousstring of ratlroad,of a length of about 1,2: Hies, which passes from south to nort of Sweden. T! rough the whole length is’ js a longer distance than from Berlin t6 Home. By the completion of this grand trahk line, which makes the Swedish railrotd’$ystem as perfect as pos- sible, it is béjieved that emigration from Sweden to América will, if it does not cease, at least become ¢onsiderably smaller, even should business n the United Siates sud- denly improve. But this is npt the most important point. Norrland herself needs the railroad, as may be seen by the fact that this Swédish province provides no less than twenty per cent of the ehtire lumber supply of the globe, or more than Canada, and almost twice as much as the United States. The famous Gellivara mines are also situated in Norrland. These mines, the largest in the world, are not considered capable of supplying the present demands of the whole world as regards iron ore for centuries. The landscape scenery in Norrland ts highly picturesque, and the important part the new line of coramuhication will play as regards the tourist traffic of the north can hardly be underestimated. The cost of this northern part of the Swedish railroad net nas been about 39,- 000,000 crowns. This includes the rolling stock, The building of many bridges, crossing various beautiful rivers, has been most expensive. The longest and highest of these bridges—ihe one over the Angerman river—measures 1,225 feet between abut- ments, with the rail 153 feet above low- water level, and is built upon steel trestles, in five spans, The material in this, as in all modern bridges, is mild steel, manufac- tured by the open-hearth process. ———ce+—____.
