Commenting upon President Cleveland's message to Congress on the bond issue, the Londog Times today says: “President Cleveland is determined to have his own way if he can. We await the result with equanimity. There is no reason on this side of the Atlantic to wish success to his policy. America’s loss by the issue of 4 per cent bends will, to the extent of one-half, be a gain to the outside world. Repayment in coin means gold repayment, while pub- lic promises are observed, and the Ameri- can treasury is able to keep them. If either of these conditions fails, it matters very little what form of repayment is stipulated. Sixteen million dollars is too much even for a rich nation to be careless about, but with the existing difficulty of finding a first-class investment yielding 3 per cent, lenders will be grateful for bonds that will return 3 3-4 per cent.” The Chronicle this morning, In an edi- torial or the new American bond issue, said: “The unfavorable terms upon which America proposes to borrow are not a very flattering commentary on American finance. ‘The present financial and currency system cannot last long, but what will replace it? What substantial guarantee have the great banking and financial houses that a com- plete financial revolution wi not occur in America within a brie? period?” ‘The Times in its financial article says that Paris will be likely to be keener after the American bonds than London. It adds that some influential people in London seem indisposed to invest in the issue at all. The Daily News, in its financial article, says it believes that the price of the new issue will yield investors 3 1-2 per cent.

The porte has finally decided to permit newspaper reporters to travel in all the provinces of Asia Minor, except Bitlis, and the latter exception obtains only while the commission of inquiry is sitting at Moosh. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “A case of much interest to people resid- ing in sections where race privilege is still claimed as an unquestioned prerogative was decided out in Kentucky the other day,” said R. 8. Collingwood of Columbus at the Metropolitan yesterday. “A colored minister brought suit against the Louis- ville and Nashville Railroad Company for $15,000 damages because he was not al- lowed to ride in the car reserved for whites. The action was really intended to test the separate coach law in force in Ken- tucky. It was heard in the United States court by Judge Barr, who had decided last year that the law was unconstitutional be- cause it interfered with the Interstate com- merce law. In the recent case the railroad company held that it had established a rule separating colored from white passen- gers, and that it had a perfect right to do so. Judge Barr, however, instructed the jury to find for the plaintiff, and the min- ister got a verdict of 1 cent and costs. ‘The company immediately gave notice of an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, and the final fight over the question will, therefore, take place here. Almost all railroads in the south have eseparate coaches or compartments for whites and blacks, and consequently they will eagerly await the outcome of the suit. If the minister wins in the highest court there will be an end to discrimination between passengers of one color and another, and then the Pullman business in the south will vastly increase, because the whites won't stand traveling in the same car with their former vassal: “When it comes to adapting the latest inventions to everyday uses the new south can abundantly take care of itself,” said Louis Reynolds of Providence at the Ar- lington last night. “I have been engaged for several months in Atlanta and the towns that thickly surround it on all sides, and I was struck with the remarkably comprehensive system of telephone ex- change in operation. It is so complete and well managed that a man can tran- sact business with half a dozen others in as many different towns in the course of half an hour or so. The system is also applied in other ways. Now, what would you think if some paper here announced that telephone subscribers could listen to a sermon by a leading preacher tomorrow morning by connecting with the main office and getting switched on to the chureh at the time service is to begin? Why, you'd think it was a joke. Well, when I left Atlanta Wednesday evening I read in the Athens correspondence of the afternoon paper that arrangements had been made so that telephone subscribers in Athens could listen to the sermon to be preached by Dr. Hawthorne on Sunday, if they so desired. Now, if that isn't keeping abreast of the times, and getting ahead of them, I like to know what to call it.” “It is a singular thing in these modern days when the general use of the type- writer makes legibility cheap and at every- body's command that many Aspirant’s for the honors and emoluments of authorship continue to complete their creations in their own chirography 2rd send them in that shape t> the publishers,” said Ernest Ratcliffe of New York, at the Riggs House yesterday. “If they only knew what delay, to say nothing harsher, was incurred by such a course they would, I am sure, have their copy neatly typewritten before en- trusting it to the mercy of the critics who are to judge it. The sight of hand-written copy makes the spleen of a publisher's reader rise up as soon as he opens it. So the author already has a certain feeling of enmity against him before a word is read. Then the critic begins to wade through it, more intent upon ascertaining its poor qualities than upon discovering any real merit it may contain. I¢ the handwriting is not twin-sister to copper-plate he does not get far before he is mad as a wet hen. ‘Then he closes it with a bang and takes up a slip. ‘Crude, ill-fashiored, peor taste and weak treatmer Plot involved and dis- connected. Characters ill-formed and un- studied.’ He pins this en it and sends it into the office, where the slip is removed and the manuscript returned to its author as unavailable. This, mind you, happens after the thing has been in the publisher's, or rather,the reader's, possession for weeks, because he won't examine a hand-written contribution until he has cleaned up all the type-written stuff. Old authors are familiar with these tricks of the trade, and young ones should become acquainted with them, and remember that type-written manu- script, where everything else is even,stands ten chances for acceptance against one for the other kind.” “The best payimg railroad property in Florida runs between the station at Winter Park and a winter hotel,” said Lewis T. Gumby of Jacksonville at La Normandie last night. “It is a narrow-gauge affair, whose rusty iron rails rest on squared pine logs laid in the sand, and its equipment consists of a single car, formerly in use upon a northern strect railway, and a pair of old mules. The entire outfit did not cost more than $500, and yet it makes an enormous percentage in carrying freight. From the holidays to April there is a con- tinual stream of tourists coming and yoing frem that hotel, and, of course, they carry baggage. All of it is transported over that little railroad, both upon arrival and de- parture, and for each piece and parcel a charge of 25 cents is made each way. Over 6,000. pieces were carried on it last year, counting both ways, so you can figure out what a valuable property it is.” “I saw a singular case down in Fluvanna county, Va., not long ago,” said S. G. Bar- row, a traveler for a Baltimore wholesale * house, at the Metropolitan last night. “It was nothing less than that of a horse in a trance. I heard of the matter when I was at Gordonswille and inquired about it when I reached Fluvanna. I was directed to the farm of an Englishman named Sud- low, and, as it was on my route, I stopped there. The owner was away, but his over- seer showed me the animal. He was a fine- Iccking animal, as far as I could judge from seeing him lying on the floor of what had been a feed room, and he seem J to be healthy and asieep. There was no sign of breathing, however, and I could per- ceive no heart action whatever. I was as- sured that the horse had been in that con- dition for over two months, and had never given any sign of life since he had first been found in his stall, but that a slight ircision in the gums would at all times bring fresh blood. The horse was a favor- ite of its owner, and he will be kept until he recovers his energy or does the other thing beyond any question or doubt.” “I have often wondered why parents who are casting about to choose profes- sions for their growing sons do not select music,” said Herman Berghold of Pitts- burg at Wormley’s yesterday. “It is as easy for a young man to become equipped with a technical knowledge of music, such as will fit him to teach it to others, as it is for him to master the mysteries of law or medicine, and the remuneration from the first will largely surpass that from either of the others on the general aver- age. It is a mistaken idea to think that a good musician must be an excellent per- former on the piano or violin. Some of the best teachers in the world are woefully de- ficient in the mechanical execution of music. But they are versed in the science of the divine art, and understand how to convey its intricate beauties to others who already possess the muscular nature and the sentiment necessary to an accom- plished performer. A well-trained, well- educated teacher of music is always sure of a comfortable income, no matter where he may establish himself, and the advance of higher education among the masses, which is now becoming so general, will make the profession in future an even more lucrative one for young men to choose as the field for their life work.” — The “Whiteways” in Office. The Whiteway ministry assumed office at St. John’s, N. F., yesterday. There is a general feeling of satisfaction among the followers of the Whiteway party, although there is much discontent among rural mem- bers, because the city has captured all the best positions. The legislature has been prorogued for two months, in order to per- mit bye-elections to be held, as all the newly appointed officials must obtain con- stituencies. The relief work continues. From three to four thousand destitute per- sons are fed weekly. Bo Races at the Arlington track have been pestponed until Wednesday, February 13.

Ernest Wolf, administration clerk in the surrogate’s office, is a sportsman, and one who has ideas of his own about sport. He has guns. He has tackle. He has rubber boots. He has canvas suits. But he has no dog. “I wouldn’t mind paying six shillings or a dollar for a dog,”says Mr. Wolf, “but I hate to pay $3 for a brass collar to put on him.” So he humps along on his sporting career without a dog, but it doesn’t make a bit of difference to him. He gets there just the same. “There's no use for a dog when you go fishing,” he says, ‘and my experience has been that when you go hunting the dog scares all the game away. I sicked a dog on a deer once and the dog couldn’t come any ways near catching it, and a man that stood somewhere along where the deer ran had to shoot it or it would have got away.” Mr. Wolf does most of his sporting up in the Adirondacks, in the Paul Smitn neighborhood. “But, pshaw!” says Mr. Wolf. “Half the folks that go up there and make a big show about’ doing things don’t know any- thing at ali about how to be sportsmen. They've got no ideas. They're not original. I guess I showed ’em a few things when I was up there last season. They're taik.ng yet about the way I caught the big trout. I wouldn’t have caught that trout if I had kept in the beaten path of sport, the way they follow it up there. But I had ideas, and the trout had to surrender. “Everybody had been trying to get that trout for a good while, for he was a big fellow. I guess more than a thousand dif- ferent kinds of flies had been tried on him, but he turned up his nose at them all. I chucked a couple o’ dozen at him myself, but he was even disdainful of my skill. If I hadn’t had ideas I'll bet a hundred that that trout 'd be up there yet, just as sassy and impudent as ever. “One day I sat_ down and thought. You may know that I must have been deter- mined when I sat down and thought, for my vacation was short, and it takes a good deal of time to think. A man on his vaca- tion hates to waste much time in thinking. But I was determined, and I sat down. And pretty soon I got the right idea. “Tt isn’t flies that trout wants,’ says I, ‘it’s worms. And I'll just step out of the beaten path and feed him some.” ~ “So I got a good stiff fish pole and a strong linc and hook and dug some worms. But I want to tell you this wasn’t the only idea I got hold of while I was sitting down and thinking. “ ‘Wild ducks feed on trovt the worst way,’ says I. ‘They eat whole schools of trout. This is the trout season,’ says I, ‘and consequently this must be the season for wild ducks.’ = “It isn’t at all likely that any one ever thought of that before. This, beaten path in eee I tell you, I will play hob with it yet. “ ‘So,’ says I, ‘what's the matter with me fetchipg down a few ducks while I'm get- ting that big trout? Nothing,’ says I. “I didn’t have any ducking gun, but a little thing like that needn’t worry a sportsman with ideas. I had a ten-bore shotgun. I don’t remember now what I had that ten-bore shotgun for, but I had it, and I loaded both barrels with duck shot. Some queer folks might say: ‘Well, if you didn’t have any ducking gun, what did you have duck shot for? Don’t you know there's lots o’ folks that'd ask just such a foolish question as that? Now, s'pose I hadn't had the duck shot? I could not have loaded that ten-bore shotgun with ’em, then, could I? Well, that’s what I had that duck shot for, if anybody should interrogate you on the subject! “Well, I loaded my gun, took my worms and my tackle, and went out to get the trout, and incidentally some ducks. I sat down on the bank, chucked my hook, baited with the nicest, fattest, wigglingest gob of worms that ever a trout had the chance of his life to set his teeth in. I held my gun in my lap, and kept one eye peeled for ducks and the other one on guard so I'd be ready to yank the big trout when he came and got the worms. Quite a little time went by, and no ducks came down to eat trout, and no trout came up to eat worms. “‘Gan't be, can it,’ says I, ‘that some duck has come along here and tackled the big trout? If one has, how’m T going to know whether the duck swallowed the trout or the trout swallowed the duck? If the duck swallowed the trout, he'll have all he wants to eat for a couple of days, and won't be along this way today so I can shoot him. If the trout has swallowed the duck, the chances are that he won't have any appetite for worms today, and I won't get the trout. This is an unforeseen di- lemma” says I. “I concluded to fill my pipe and sit down and think it over. I stood my gun against a tree right behind me and set my pole. I was just ramming the tobacco in my pipe when up and down my pole began to bob, and swish, swash, through the water went the line. Then I knew that the duck hadn't swallowed the trout, and that if the trout had swallowed the duck his appetite was still good for worms. I grabbed the pole. The pole was strong, the line was strong, the hook was strong and I was strong. I just laid back and gave a yank that would have raised a stump out by its roots. And it raised that trout, you bet! The big fel- low sailed up in the air almost to the top of the tree behind me, but up there he broke loose from the hook: He would have come plumb down into the water again, and I'd have lost him after all, if I hadn't gone out after ducks as well as trout. As I yanked the trout out, I tumbled over backward. My elbow or something struck the hammers of my gun and set them off. Lord! You should have heard that report! Both bar- rels went off. For a few seconds there w: a loud pattering of trout meat, considerably minced, upon me, and on all skies of me. Then _the trout’s head plumped down near me. My duck shot hadn't reduced the head in any way, and it was gasping yet, and the eyes glaring. But they soon got over it. I looked around among the scattered remnants of the trout to see if I could find any duck feathers or bones, but there was none, so I concluded that the trovt hadn't swallowed the duck. “Now, maybe I n’t proud to carry that trout head in and show folks what could be done by a sportsman who was bold enough to step out of the beaten path! And they all felt sheepish enough, I tell you! All the guides agreed, judging from the size of the head, that the trout couldn't have weighed less than eight pounds. I gave the big head to a guide I knew. He afterward gave it to somebody who had it mounted somehow, and it's in his collection somewhere now. “The trouble with sportsmen nowadays is,” says Mr. Wolf, “they have no ide: and spend too much money for dog bis- cuit.” The Fight on Chicago's Police. Jobn R. Tanner, chairman of the repub- lican state central committee, sued by Mayor Hopkins of Chicago for defamation of character, has thrown down the gaze of battle and purposes to fight it out on the ground of truth and justification. This was done in his plea filed to the declaration made in court by the mayor. In support of the truth of the allegations in ihe circu- lar issued by Mr. Tanner, as chairman of the republican state central committee, cn which the action was commenced, it is set up that the mayor, October 31 last, through the police force, did extort and receive from one Lizzie Manning the sum of $5, in consideration for which she was allowed to maintain a certain room as a place to be used for an unlawful purpose, to the laws of Illinois and ordi the city of Chicago. This declaration is repeated ninety-eight times, and the names of ninety-seven other persons from whom money is said to have been collected are given. tee. Hermann’s Name Withdrawn.

Every Man Left Hal Island, in Bering Sea, Enten by the Bears. From the New York Sun. From the quarterdeck of the United States revenue steamer Corwin, lying off Hall’s Island, at the ncrtherly end of St. Matthew's Island, in Bering sea, the cap- tain and several officers were iooking to- ward the shore. Douglass, the pilot, had just pointed out something under the cliffs that looked like low, half-fallen walls, and said they were ruined barrabaras. The barrabara is the Aleutian house, built half underground. Some of the gentlemen wish- ed to explore the interior of the island in sane) of finding signs of valuable miner- 3. “Mr. Douglass, how about going inland here?” inquired the captain. Well, I don’t know, sir,” said the pilot. “I wouldn’t care much to go at this time ef year, unless the party was large and well armed. Any one can see from here what a forbiddirg country it is, and it’s sure to get wcrse when you reach it. It's chock full cf bears,.and in the brecding season they’re mighty ugly!” “How does it happen that there are so many polar bears on St. Matthew's and Hall's islands?” asked the captain. ‘This must be about the southern limit of ineir rdnge.” “Well, I suppese, sir, they come jown from the arctic on the field of ice. follow- ing the seal and the walrus. The winter pack reaches way south of here, ard the bears make homes on the island among rocks and caves. They breed here, and as more come every year from the nerth they naturally get plenty. So long as they find enough to eat they won't trouble any- boly unless cornered, and once food gets scarce they'll attack anything. One lock at what's left of those barrabaras has always been enough exploration for me in these parts. “There’s a sad story about those old houses, sir,” continued the pilot. “A good many years ago the Russtans thougit they'd form a settlement here. So they sent a ship with I don’t know just how many people to make a start. No doubt the settlers were a hard lot—convicts of one sort or another—the Russians often made such use of their hard citizens. But that’s neither here nor there. They were human beings and were put on shore right here, and they built or dug, whichever you like to say, those barrabaras. Provisions for a year were given them, and they were toli to skirmish round and see what they could do in the hunting line. Then the ship sailed away, promising to call round next year and sce how they were getting along. “And so she did, but the settlers were not doing anything that the visitors could see. hey hoisted no signal and made no sign of life at all, and when a party from the ship landed, a grewsome sight it was they saw. The tops were ripped off the barrabaras and everything was knocked about; not a living thing could they find. Some mcidy provisions were left, and, worst of ajl, seme human bones; not whole skeletons lying as though the people had been starved or had died of disease, but just human bones spread about the floors, and some of ’em outside on the ground. ‘Not a bit of writing was found; nothing at all to say how or when the trouble came. Water was plenty and provisions, too, and only the bears could account for the wiping out of the little colony. They must have corralled the settlers in the dead of winter, when the pack ice is all around the island, and hunger makes ‘em fierce, and then they must have torn off the roofs of the huts and made short work of the people. The ship sailed away, and the Russians never tried to cul- onize the is!and again.” ———see. “MUGGSEY” NEWS5OY CAUGHT ON. And His Comrade “Patch” Desist- ed From His Hunt for a Missile. From the New York World. It was almost dark the other evening when three youths of about fourteen or fifteen came up Broadway together. They presented a singular appearance. About the same height, poorly, but neatly dressed, they each carried a cane and walked slow- ly and carefully, arm in arm. When they got as far as the statue at the ‘sid street station they stopped and held a whispered consultation. Tired bookkeepers «nd sales- men jostled them roughly as they pushed them; equally tired, but more gentle shop girls gave them a brief look of wonder and then passed up the elevated steps. Still they stood there whispering to each other and evidently bewildered by the noise and bustle. = ; At this juncture “Muggsey” and two newsboys, made their app sight of the three youths and t cunes they jet out a whoop that would have shamed an Apache. “Get on ter de Uree dudelets wid deir fish- poles!” screamed “Muggsey”’ in delight. “Say, what a crush dey’d ma ata cigarette-makers’ dane Patch. And he looked around for somethi nice and soft and lumpy that coukl be castly thrown without detection. Just then, with one impulse, the three youths, still arm in arm, took two or three hesitating st®ps for- ward. There was something in the rhyth- mic way they beat the pavement in froz of them with their canes that caused “Mugesey” to walk up to them and look in their faces for an instant_with earnest at- tention. nee = “Wait a minute, ‘Patch,’” said “Mugs- se: “Ain't yer on?” On ter what?” asked “Patch,” trying to shake his arm free. ‘Patch,’ Gey’s all tree of “em blind Patch” dropped the apple and started to whistle “Sweet Mari Then he dropped ‘Sweet Marie” and went up to the three blind boys. ‘Say, where @youse fellies want ter £0?” he asked. The youths hesitated for a mo- ment. “We want to go to the elevated station, one of them replied. Tptown or downtown?” queried “Muge- promptly. ptown,” was the answe' ‘Den youse come wid us,” said “Patch,” taking one cf them by the arm. “Mugg- fe) followed suit at the other end of the line, and for the first time the blind boy consented to unlock arms. The little u! chins piloted them safely up the elevated stairs as far as the ticket-chopper, saw them get on a Harlem train, and two minutes later were yelling: Evening Woild! Yuxtra! Evening Woild!” at the top of their shrill voices. The Philadelphia Councils Scandal. The hearing of the individual members of select and common council was begun in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon by the committee investigating the charges of bribery in the passage of the mutual auto- matic telephone ordinance.
