International complications may arise out of the building of the dam in the Rainy river at Rat Portage, Ont. It is claimed that the level of water In the lake will be raised four feet by the dam, and that 60,000 acres of fertile land belonging mostly to the United States will be flooded. The Balti- more Packing Company also claims that it will cost $20,000 to reconstruct its fishing plant. The Canadian shore is high and precipitous, and Canadian interests would rot be affected. = Formal complaint with the federal author- ities has resulted in the dispatching of special agents to investigate.

Va. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. R. H. Fleming, D. D., of Lynch- burg. The election of moderator being first in order, Dr. Kerr of Richmond placed in nomination Dr. Moses D. Hoge of that city. Dr. Hoge reqvested the synod not to ask him to serve as the presiding officer, but, contrary to his request, he was unan- imously elected, when he arose and de- clined. Rev. G. W. Finley, D. D., of Au- gusta county, Va., and Rev. L. R. John- m of Sonth Boston, Va., were placed in mination for moderator. The first ballot resulted in the election of Dr, Finley.

A Constantinople dispatch to the London Standard says: ‘Sinister stories are afloat regarding the vengeance wreaked on mem- bers of the young Turkish party. A leading Mussulman lawyer named Izzet, whose ar- rest was reported some time since, was tortured, and died in Yldis prison on proof of corresponding with the party. There is another unconfirmed rumor that fifty lead- ers of this party were arrested on Saturday and were summarily tried and executed on a charge of excesses during the recent Ar- menian riots. The young Turks continue in vehement talk among themselve: but it is believed that the sultan’s vigor hi nipped the agitation against the palace gov- ernment. He has further had his two brothers brought to Yldis and kept there till matters have calmed down.” It will be remembered that a dispatch from Constantinople, which was telegraph- ed to the Associated Press last Saturda: told of a warning received by the Britis ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, from an Armenian source, that there was a plot by the young Turkey party to kill him, and thus bring disgrace upon the Armenian people. The correspondent of the Times at Con- stantinople telegraphs to that paper: “The foreign ambassaders highly approve the personnel of the commission of control, which the grand vizier has chosen. But the sultan, preferring elastic instruments, is likely to disapprove. If the Armenian re- forms are executed in a proper spirit, it will greatly benefit the empire. That this should be done is of vital importance, in view of the impending Macedonian difficul- ty, which is far more menacing than was the Armenian.” The Chronicle’s Constantinople corre- spondent sa: ‘A hundred Turks were ar- rested on Saturday, and thirty-eight sof- tas ard five students of the military col- lege on Monday. All ere closely connected with the young Turkey agitation. The out- -look is serious.” Other Local an@ General Notes From Down the River—In th Poljee Court. a William Coleman, the colored man who is an inderenceay andidate for the house of delegates,“made'a speech last night at the corner of King and Royal streets. He had a large audience, and during his speech he said that he was in favor of the race tracks, whisky, gambling and lower license, and that the good Lord’ made the apples, com and everything else pertain- ing to the manufacture of liquors, and the man who opposed it was opposing his own interest. He further said that he would like to see a race track in every county in the state, and that if he was elected he would present a bill before the legislature to that effect. It will be remembered that Coleman has just finished serving a ninety- day sentence on the chain gang, where he was sentenced for fighting and disorderiy conduct. Another Hold-Up. Mr. Fred. Jackson, driver for the Alex- andria.steam bakery, while delivering bread yesterday morning at an early hour, was held up by four negroes In a lonely spot near Hampton, in the county. One of the negroes held a pistol to his head, while the others searched him and his wagon, but they got no money for their trouble. They helped themselves to all the bread they wanted and made off. These hold-ups are beginning to be a common oc- currence in the county, as this is the fourth one in the last two weeks. Union Mission. There was a large attendance at the rooms of the Union Mission, on upper King street, last night. The services were very interest- ing, as a number of the mission workers of Washington came down and took part. The mission is badly in need of an organ, and subscriptions are being taken up for the purchase of one. The organ which is now in use belongs to the Lee street chapel, and will have to be returned in a few days. Police Court. Mayor Thompson had only three cases for trial at the police court this morning. Mrs. Marayat Alexander, charged with sell- ing liquor on Sunday; fined ten dollars. Moses Comfort, colored, charged with being drunk and stealing a coat from Hiram Wood; fined ten dollars, and not having the necessary change he will spend ninety days at the work house. Willlam Gang, colored, charge, drunk and disorderly; fined tive dollars or thirty days on the gang. Sad Funeral. The funeral of Mrs. Julia Kingston, a for- mer resident of this city, but who had for some years past resided in Washington and died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Maggie Howell, at No. 727 1th street, in that city, took place this morning from St. Mary’s Catholic Church.at 10 o'clock. y Notes. The wedding gf Mr. Edward Shoultz and Miss Grace Coganstook place at the resi- dence of. the bride?in this city yesterday evening. The ceferfiony was performed by the Rey. J. T. Williams of the M. E.

There will be a game of foot ball on the grounds of the Episcopal High School Sat- urday afterncon between the school eleven and the ¥. M. C. A. eleven of Washington. =e FEELING IN BRITISH GUIANA. Belleve That Should Stand Firm. The bishop of British Guiana arrived at Southampion, England, yesterday on board the steamer Orinoco, from Georgetown. In an interview regarding the dispute between Great Britsin and Venezuela, he said there was the strongest feeling among the col- cnists that Great Britain skould maintain the position she has assumed regarding the Schomburgh line. As to the possibility of inter¢ention upon the part of the United States, the bishop said that although the colonists do not lcok for United States as- sistance, yet a certain section of them seem to feel that the United States has more sympathy for Guiana than England has. Another British colonist who was on board the Orinoco expressed similar opin: ions, and added that the inspector of police, Col. McInnes, had gone to Yuruan in order to see that place properly protected. The London Times and Graphic, the Post and the Dally News again editorially pro- test against the attitude of the American press on the Venezuelen question. The Dally News, commenting upon the Trinidad affair, says: “This question is far more complicated and our rights are by no means so clear. We are ignorant whether Lord Salisbury admits the Brazilian claim or not, but the government appears to have acted in behalf of the Brazilian Submarine Telegraph Company, whose directors !n- clude Lord Sackville Cecil, a near relative of Lord Salisbury, and William St. John Broderick, under ‘secretary of war. It would be highly inexpedient to quarrel with Brazil for the sake of saving this company the expense of the cable laying.” —__-+e+ « DICKINSON ON CUBA. He Belleves That This Government Should Intervene. The Detroit News yesterday printed an extended interview’ with Mr. Don M. Dick- frscn on the Cuban question. Mr. Dickin- son’s expressions show to have been a close student of Cuban history and of Spain’s oppressions, and his conclusions are regarded to be to some degree Indicative of the sentiments of the national administra- tien. mist In the course of the interview Mr. Dickin- son says: “While we must,maintain the laws of neutrality, yet .the, law of humanity is higher, and whether or not the United States recognizes the belllgerency or the independence of Cuba, this country should certainly intervene in the interests of civili- zation to restrain the atrocities upon per- sons and property daily perpetrated in the island. This is what Cubans are hoping and praying for. No law can restrain the expression of our natural feeling of sym- pathy, for should it restrain, in my opinion, such an expression from this country. “Cuba ts at our doors, in the highway of our commerce—so near that, as the mur- ders go cn, we hear the shrieks of the wo- men and children, and can see the horrors renewed in Cuba that were: practiced by Alva in the Netherlands. We can send our sympathies to Greece, to Poland, to Hun- gary, but here at home, at our very doors, I this struggling people ‘Toss their fettered arms on high, And groan for freedom’s gift in vain?’ "” —____+e+—___—_ Freight Trains Collide, Two freight trains on the Wabash rail- road collided at Martinsburg, near Mexico, Mo., Tuesday night, killing Dan Kehoe, pumpman, and Edward Thompson of Tullp, Mo. ‘The following passengers on the local treight were somewhat bruised: O.

Senator Hill was the central figure in the democratic mass meeting, under the auspices of the state committee, which was held at Cooper Union, in New York, last night. Fred R. Coudert acted as chairman, and, with a few complimentary remarks, introduced Senator Hill, who spoke in part as follows: “The principles of the democratic party are so plain and explicit that they do not need to be avoided. We have dodged noth- ing in this campaign, and we are attempt- ing to deceive no one. If we are right we want to win, and if we are wrong we de- gerve to be defeated. My puarty’s princi- ples are my own, and in their presentation on this occasion I shall assume that I speak by its authority as well as in its be- half. I have no apologies to make for them. I defend those principles because I believe in them. I hate a cowardly party as I detest a cowardly man. I frankly avow that I should be ashamed to belong to a party whose evasive or complicated prin- ciples mean one thing in Herkimer county and another thing in New York—one thing in Maine and another thing in Texas. “The tariff bill enacted in 1894 by the democratic party went into effect on Au- gust 18, 1894, and thus has been in opera- tion only a little over one year. That time not been ample to demonstrate its value and usefulness. It is to be regretted that it has not met the full expectations of its friends in realizing sufticient revenues to prevent deficiencies, but this consolation exists, that even if thcre must be some deficiencies for a brief period there has been no unnecessary and extravagant taxa- tion imposed under its provisions. Suffi- clent time has not elapsed to determine accurately whether its reductions were all wise or justifiable, but it is believed that in the end it will be proved that they were not unreasonable. It is possible that in the anxiety to relieve the people from the enormous tariff taxation, largely prohibi- tory in its character, imposed under the McKinley bill, the reductions were pressed too far, but that fact has not yet been es- tablished. The criticism of our opponents is not that taxes have been unnecessarily imposed or collected, or that the people’s moneys have been squandered in any man- ner, but that we heye not collected encugh from the people through the reform tariff measure to meet the full and entire annual expenses of the government. Then the moneys are still in the pockets of the peo- ple, and little harm is done; if necessary they can subsequently be collected through increased duties or collected in other ways. Deficiencies are not evidence cf extrava- ®ance, profligacy or unjust taxation, how- ever annoying or inconvenient they may be in other respects. We ask the people to be patient In order that the new measure may have a fair test. “I come now to one of the principle is- sues involved in this campaign, and this is ‘personal liberty.’ Our opponents do not like the term. {t annoys them, it worries them, it maddens them, it frightens them. “Personal Mberty means liberty regulated by law-reasonable law. As populariy in- terpreted it stands for opposition to un- necessary restraint and vexatious interfer- ence with private affairs and to all species of obnoxious governmental supervision of individual concerns. The -principle which is implied in the term ‘personal liberty’ is the bulwark of a free state. “The democratic party has always been the consistent champion of personal liberty. It wiil not change its attitude by reason of misrepresentations or the threats or the boasts of Puritanism. / “The democrats in the revision of 1892 did not change the Sunday provisions of 1857, but left them as the republicans originally enacted them—save and except that they liberalized those provisions. “There !s no issue anywhere upon the general subject of the propriety of the en- forcement of law. No democratic news- Paper; no democratic orator anywhere, has advocated the doctrine that the excise laws should not be enforcedé They should be enforced the same as all other laws, in a reasonable spirit, fairly, impartially and justly. They should not be enforced to the exclusion of other laws—they should not be enforced more strictly or more harshly than other laws, and good judgment and common sense should be exercised in their enforcement. The full usefulness of many laws depend not only upon the manner in which they are enforced, but depend on the construction which is given to them. Upon this question the two parties have declared themselves. We have not said that we favor the opening of saloons upon Sunday throughout the state, neither have we said we are opposed to it. We have simply declared that the people of each municipality should be permitted to de- termine that question themselves.” Se EXPLORER JACKSON'S PROGRESS. Story of His Trxamping Through the Frozen North. The docurrents brought from the explorer Jackson, which were brought back by the Windward, after leaving the explorer on Franz Josef Land, and which were kept sealed up in one of the cabins of the Wind- ward during her return trip, have been opened, and the papers were found to re- cord that the expedition landed at Cape Flora on September 7, last year,where they erected log houses. All the members were given certain duties, to insure regular exe ercise, Bear socn appeared to éhe number of thirty; and, together with eight wal- ruses, were Filled and added to the win- ter’s provisions. The only man who died of scurvy refused to eat bear meat. The winter was very tempestuous and the arc- tic bears prowled around the log cabins and even looked in at the windows. The winter darkness ended on February 23. Jackson and two others started north on March 10, with two ponies and two siedges. The temperature was sometimes 45 degrees below zero. The ponies proved to be inval- uable for clambering over hummocks in the ice. The country generally was at a height of 2,500 feet, and was covered with ice sheets, Which were interrupted along the coast by high basaltic cliffs, on which were found mosses and arctic flowers. The journey revealed many inaccuracies in the charts.

The furthest point which was reached was latitude 81 degrees 20 minutes north, where two boats were left for use later in the summer. Three depots were also estab- lished en rcute. Many geological speciniens were taken, which show that the forma- tion of the land is mainly basaltic. A second journey began in April and end- ed in the middle of May. It was attended with stormy weather, and frequently the temperature was i) degrees below zero. Progress was difficult on account of the deep crevasses and the morasses of mud. —_—_+e+____ SWEPT BY .FIRE. Almost Every Business Place Ceres, N. Y., Burned. The town of Ceres, N.

There were only eleven prisoners in the party, ten men and one boy, and nine of these were in Judge Kimball's procession. “Nine all told,” said Bailiff Kendig when the nire prisoners had taken their seats in the cage. “Strongly democratic,” he added. “There are only two republicans in the lot this morning,” was Bailiff Cole’s re- mark. “Something unusval.” Last evening’s weather prediction caused a scare In the byways, and the violators of law, fearing there would be icebergs floating about the streets, went to. their homes or to the homes of friends and sat beside the fire. There they enjoyed the contents of “growlers” which they “rusn- ed,” and if there was any crap shooting, it was done in the houses, for the police were unable to throw out their dragnets and reap a harvest of vffenders in any part of the city. = Just before Judge Kimball's arrival there was a roaring sound-in the cage. Two of the able-bodied men, who were In an ex- tremely nerveus condition, became fright- ened and started to run, but the man who made the noise only had a fit, and when he was removed quiet was restored. John Fitzgerald, who is also known as John Dill, was the leader of the procession, the charge against him being disorderly ce juct.

It was alleged that he was begging on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday. When he appeared for trial Judge Kim- ball said that the witnesses in the case had gone away and the czse would have to go over until tomorrow. “If the man is sick,” said Mr. Pugh, “he should be sent to the hospital.” Were Strangers. Jeseph O'Grady and William R. Williams, the latter fifteen years old, were next in line, and it was charged that they had been begging on H street northeast. “Did you see them begging?” the officer was asked. “Yes, sir,” answered the officer. “I saw them go into stores, and was told they were begging.” “We camé from England,” said O’Grady, “and have only been in the country nine days. When our ship reached Bristol we were discharged, and now we are on our way to London.” “Why did you come such a long way around to reach London?” Judge Kimball inguired. “We wanted to see Washington, in the United States,” he answered, “because we had heard so mu¢h about it.” “You must understand that you cangot beg in this city,” the judge told him. ‘When questioned, O'Grady sald he was here looking for a vessel, and he hoped he would soon be able to return to London. The boy, he said, had shipped with him for about four years. Williams told a similar story, and both prisoners said they would leave here today, if given an opportunity to do so, and their Personal bonds were taken. Disorderly Conduct. Aloysius McGivern, a young man from Northeast Washington, was in the tolls for disorderly conduct, and he denied every- thing that was said against him. “We were on a lot near an oyster house,” sald the prisoner, “and when the man said he did not want us there we moved down to the corner of 3d and L streets.” “And used profane language?” the court. “No, sir.” “I heard him use profane language,” said Policeman Tracy, and Aloysius went back because he did not have $5. Charles E. Harper, a tall and slender man, w'@ is a resident of H street north- east, made an effort to shed a few tears and excite the sympathy of the court, but he did not make much of a success of his undertaking. “I'm _ guilty,” he stammered when ar- raigned for disorderly conduct, “but it’s the first time I’ve ‘been arrested and brought here, and I hope you will forgive me.” this case?" Judge “What is there Kimball asked. “He had trouble with his wife and broth- er-in-law,” the officer answered. “He went home drunk last night, and when he com- menced throwing the furniture out of the house he was thrown out.” “Then,” said Harper, who anticipated the imposition of a fine, “if you let me go for an hour I'll get my fine.” “What sort of a man is Harper?” the court asked the officer. “He's a bad character,” the officer re- sponded. ‘He's been out of work and has been drinking, and he goes with a bad crowd. Some time ago he was arrested for assaulting an old watchman.” “And was acquitted,” added the prisoner. “Yer said the oflicer, “the crowd out- swore the old man. A fine of $ was imposed, and Harper went back. William Brown, colored, said “guilty” when arraigned on a charge of disorderly and will eat corm bread and fish for two weeks unless a $5 fine Is paid for him. Similar action was taken in the case of another colored man named Fred Dudley. The witness in the case of Buckley, the epileptic, returned before court was over and the prisoner was sent down for a month. queried in Called Him Names. Policeman Mohl brought in two colored women, Emma Griffin and Bertie Gibson, and complained that they had used bad language after he had arrested Emma on a charge of violating the health regula- tions. Emma made a complete denial of the charge and referred to the officer as “Mr, ok; “What did you cali the officer?” Mr. Pugh asked. “Smoke,” she replied. “That's not his name,” said Mr. Pugh, ‘his name is Moh!.” “And the women were disorderly all the way to the box,” added the officer. “I didn’t witne: the arrest,” said Po- liceman Owens, “but I saw the women in the station. They were sitting on the floor playing ecven up and were swearing.” Bertie Givson said that she was in the alley and when her friend was arrested she told the officer that he might as well take her, too. “And so you swore?” “I only said d—. “Five dollars each, Youtbful Prisoners. Thomas Robinson, a colored boy, was in court on coHateral. He had been arrested by Policeman Doyle for using a bean- shooter near Ingleside. “He was in there shooting at birds,” said the officer. “Many school teachers go out there now for leaves, and the fise of the beanshooter there ts dangerous.” “Where are the leaves?” counsel wanted to know. “On the trees,” the policeman answered. “And do the teachers climb the trees?” “No, sir.” Counsel did not understand where the danger came in if the boy was shooting at birds in the trees and the teachers were on the ground. Judge Kimball warned the boy against a repetition of the offense and took his per- gonal bonds. Policeman Doyle kept the beanshooter. Edward Hart was tried on a charge of playing “‘shindy” on the streets. The po- liceman didn't know the difference between that game and “taddy,” but Judge Kim- ball, who was also ignorant of the game, found a law to cover it, and fined the boy $1. Unique Defense.

According to a statement made by Bill Nye, who writes funny pieces for the newspapers, more or less interest has been manifested by the public in the details of his life. Apprehensive that some biography might be constructed which would distort the truth of history, Mr. Nye has written his own biography, whieh is as follows: “Edgar Wilson Nye was born in Maine in 1850, August 25, but at two years of age he took his parents by the hand, and telling them that Piscatajuis county was no place for them, he boldly struck out for St. Croix county, Wisconsin, where the hardy young pioneer soon made a home for his parents. The first year he drove the Indians out of the St. Croix valley and suggested to the Northwestern railroad that it would be a good idea to build to St. Paul as soon as the company could get a grant which would pay them two or three times the cost of construction. The following year he adopted trousers and made $175 from the sale of wolf scalps. He also cleared twen- ty-seven acres of land and raised some wWetermelons. In 1854 he established and endowed a district school in Pleasant Val- ley. It was at this time that he began to turn his attention to the abolition of slav- ery in the south, and to write articles for the press, sigred “Veritas,” in which he ad- vocated the war of 1860, or as soon as the government could get round to it. “In 1854 he graduated from the farm and began the study of law. He did not ad- vance very rapidly in this profession, fail- ing several times in his examinations and giving bords for his appearance at the next term of ccurt. He was, however, a close student of pclitical economy, and studied personal economy at the same time, till he found that he could easily live on ten cents a day and his relatives. Too Thickly Settled. “Mr. Nye now began tc look about him for a new country to build up and foster, and as Wiscorsin had grown to be so thick- ly settled in the northwestern part of the state that reighbors were frequently found as near as five gniles apart, he broke loose from all restrainteand took emigrant rates for Cheyenne, Wyoming. Here he engaged board at the Inter-Ocean Hotel, and began to look about him for a position In a bank. ‘Not succeeding in this, he tried the law and jovrialism. He did not succeed in get- ting a job for some time, but finally hired as associate editor and janitor of the Lara- mie Boomerang. The salary was small, but his latitude great, and he was permitted to write anything that he thought would please the reople, whether it was news or not. “By and by he had won every heart by his gentle, patient poverty and his delight- ful parsimony with regard to facts. With a hectic imagination and an order on a res- taurant which advertised in the paper, he searcely cared through the livelong day whether school kept or not. “Thus he rose to justice of the peace and finally to an Income which is reported very large to everybody but the assessor, His Home Life. “He Is the father of several very beauti- ful children by his first wife, who is still living. She ts a Chicago girl and loves her husband far more than he deserves. He is pleasant to the outside world, but a per- fect brute in his home. He early learned that in order to win the love of his wife he should be erratic and kick the stove over on the children when he came home. He therefore asserts himself in this way, and the family love and respect him, being awed by his greatness and gentle bar- barism. “He eats plain food with both hands, con- versing all the time pleasantly with any one who mty be visiting at the house. If the children do not behave he kicks them from beneath the table till they roar with pain, as he chats on with the guests with a bright and overflowing stream of bon mots, which please and delight those who visit him to that degree that they almost forget that they have had hardly anything to eat. “In conclusion, Mr. Nye fs in every re- spect a lovely character. He feared that injustice might be done him, however, in this biographical sketch, so he has written it himself.” —_—_— TRIP OF THE TEXAS. No Attempt Made to Speed Her During the Run Up the Const. ‘The new U. 8, S. Texas arrived off Tomp- kinsville, 8. L, last evening, and dropped anchor at 5:45. She came directly from Norfolk, where she was built in the navy yard. With the exception of the maneuvers she went through off the cape to adjust her compasses, she has had no work. Her initial trip was commenced Tuesday after- noon, when she left the capes and headed for Sandy Hook. No attempt was made to speed her during the trip up the coast. Ten knots an hour was the maximum The greater part of the trip was made at a fraction over nine knots. The officers re- port a pleasant trip, without accident. They say the ship behaved well in the water and gave promise of being up to service requirements. ‘The Texas will le off Tompkinsville unti) this afternoon, when she will run to the navy yard and put into dry dock.

Burkhart swore out a warrant for Martin's arrest, and last night Officer Sweeny and Marshal Shultz went to the scene. When they reached the home of Martin a terrible struggle occurred, in which Murshal Schultz was shot and died within a few minutes. Officer Sweeny was also shot, but not fatally.
