The Herald-Beview, BRITISH SOLDIERY. By B. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. A Duluth man is about to patent an airship to be operated by compressed air. No wind in this. The man in Moscow who has been pensioned because he has eighty-seven living children may, with prcepriety, be called a happy father. Senator Tillman keeps right on jab- bing the sugar trust with his pitchfork and there is no use trying to disguise tbe fact that the people like it. Who can answer the Denver Post, which asks, “What can be more ri- diculons than a pair of checked bloom- ers on a pair of beanpole legs?” We give it up. A young woman who is under hyp- notic control in Mount Clemens,Mich., “sings in a language she doesn’t un- derstand.” She may be fitting herself for an operatic career. The Philadelphia Press notes that “Lansing, Mich., attributes the falling off in its number of saloons to the bi- cycles.” It is also true that saloons have caused a falling off of bicycles. In his account of the Sharkey-Maher fight Corbett neglected to state that he wished the police or somebody had stopped another fight in the same round that was made the last in the New York mill. That’s a pretty story that was told to the Sunday-schoo! children at the recent celebration of the bicentennial at Trinity church in New York. A lit- tle chambermaid applied to the bishop for confirmation, and being asked on what grounds she based her request she said that she always awept under the rugs. According to information recetved at Washington, D. C., an egg famine has resulted in Cuba from the war, and United States Vice Consul Hyatt at Santiago suggests that there is an ex- cellent market there for American eggs. The eggs sell in Cuba for about 40 cents a dozen. The duties amount to about 10 cents a dozen. Evidence that the world moves was to have been expected from the Univer- zal Postal Congress in Washington. Perhaps the most striking bye of testi- mony was the decision of’ Korea to zome into the postal union. It is only a few years since Korea was known throughout the civilized world as the “hermit kingdom,” but there is noth- img hermit-like in this desire of the Koreans, Feet oe, — ale es ag Curse cards are being used in Switzerland and Germany to check profanity. People go about with the cards in their pockets, and when- ever they hear bad language present one to the swearer to sign. The card Las printed on it a pledge to abstain from swearing for a specified time or to pay a pfenning an oath to some charity. Nearly 40,000 cards have been distributed in Switzerland, where there are three languages te swear in. Deming, New Mexico, dispatches say: At no previous time has there been such activity in the Mexican cattle trade as now. In the first four months of the year 825 cars have been loaded and shipped from the Deming yards, containing a total of 33,000 head. In March 10,000 head were shipped out of Mexico at this point. For April the Mexican cattle shipments from here amount to about 21,000 head. From the state of Chihuahua the figures are far greater. The increase has been tremendous. During April of 1896 14,- 904 head of beef cattle were shipped from Chihuahua to the United States, while the April shipments for this year have reached as high as 72,644, and this is 72,000 head in excess of the shipments for the preceding month. According to the official statistics ot cur commerce the first consignments of Egyptian cotton coming directly to the United States were received during the fiscal year 1884, and amounted to 174,346 pounds. From this small be- ginning cur direct imports rapidly in- creased until in the fiscal year 1896 they had reached no less a figure than 43,574,769 pcunds. With the excep- tion of Egypt, the only cotton-produc- ing country from which the United States imports any considerable amount is Peru. The Peruvian cotton, like the Egyptian, owes its use in this country to certain peculiarities of qual- ity that make it better fitted for some special purposes than our own vari- eties, but neither the Peruvian nor the Egyptian can properly be said to come into direct competition with our na- tive cottons. As compared with the Egyptian, however, the quantity of Peruvian cotton imported is very small. The largest importation ever recorded, that for the fiscal year 1893, amounted to only 3,411,619 pounds, It has been announced that the Car- negies are prepared to consume 5,000,- 000 tons of ore this year, double the quantity they have ever used in one year. Practically all of this ore will be furnished by the Rockefeller min- ing interest. On Saturday an agent of the Rockefellers chartered fifteen ore steamers for the season. The Rocke- feller interests already own eighteen ore steamers and have control of four boats of the American Transportation Company, and will charter others, as gll these will be able to bring down only 2,000,000 tons of ore this season. THE QUEEN REVIEWS TER TROOPS AT ALDERSHOT, Brilliant Grand in the Parade—Canadinn Forces Scene Presented in the Lead—Prince of Wales at the Hend of the Tenth Hussars— Her Majesty Warmly Welcomed on the Way and at the Camp, Aldershot Camp, Eng., July 3.—The great “jubilee review of troops took place here, queen’s weather prevail- ing. The town of Aldershot was very gaily decorated with flags and fes- toons of flowers. Crowds of people flocked toward the camp from very early morning. Queen Victoria ar- rived at Farnborough shortly before 4 o'clock, and was received by the com- mander-in-chief, Lord Wolseley; the adjutant general, Sir Redvers Buller; the quartermaster general, Sir Evelyn Wood, and a brilliant staff. From the railroad station to the saluting point on Laffan plain, three miles distant,the route was gay with decorations,includ- ing arches with mottoes of welcome at different points. The Duke of Con- naught, commanding the military dis- trict, was in supreme command of the troops, which numbered 25,000 men,in- cluding all the colonial forces, a di- vision of cavalry, artillery and engi- neers and four divisions of infantry. In the march past, the colonial troops had the lead and were headed by Lord Roberts of Kandahar, at the head of the Canadian mounted police. The Prince of Wales led the Tenth Hussars past the saluting point. Accompanying Queen Victoria was the Princess of Wales, Princess Vic- toria of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark, all the colonial premiers and a brilllant throng of titled spec- tators. SATISFIED WITH “WOoDFoRD. Spanteh Payer at Havana Says He Will Do. Havana, July 3. — La Lucha, com- menting editorially on the appoint- ment of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford as United States minister to Spain, says it ought not te surprise any one. The fact that he expressed an opinion fa- vorable te Cuban independence during the last war when he did not form a part of the government and was with- out responsibility is, La Lucha de clares, no reason to be argued against his appointment now. The paper adds: “His intimate relations with President McKinley and his own respectable character are snfficient guarantees that the appointment is a timely one and that eGn. Woodford will try to conserve friendly relations with the Spanish.” a... THOUSANDS HOMELESS, Floods in Roumania Cause Great Destitution and Suffering. London, July 3.— dispatch to the Daily Mail from Braila, the.principal port of Roumania, says that 20,000 in- habitants of Galatz, in M via, on the left bank of the Danu mam naa? Keen the confluences of the Sereth and the Prutho with that river, are homeless as a result of recent floods. Most of them are destitute and camping in the streets, where they are fed by the mili- tary. The Roumanian gunboats are busy rescuing families still in danger. It is estimated that no fewer than 100 persons have been drowned, though the authorities are reticent on the sub- ject from fear of censure for their fail- ure to adopt precautions earlier which might have mitigated the disaster. RIOTS IN CALCUTTA, Europeans Stoned by the Mussul- mans. Calcutta, July 3.—Serious riots among the Mussulmans have occurred here. Besides the main mob, scattered gangs of rioters paraded the streets hooting and stoning Europeans, several of whom were injured. Finally the au- thorities were compelled to call out the troops. It is regarded as significant that the Hindoos passively sympathize with the riote The situation is still grave. An additional force cf cavalry was required to disperse the rioters, but the mobs quickly gathered togeth- er again. Praised by Gen. Miles. London, July 8—The Da Mail pub- lishes an interview with Gen. Nelson A. Miles, of the United States army, after the review at Aldershot,in which Gen. Miles is reported as having said: “I never saw a finer lot of soldiers. They can stand comparison with the best troops in the world. Their disci- pline must be admirable to enable them to manpeuvre so well in such a small place. England has, indeed, a right to be proud of her army.” Edhem Pasha Resigns, London, July 3. — A dispatch to the Standard from Constantinople says that Edhem Pasha, commander-in- chief of the Turkish forces in Thes ly, has tendered his resignation of com- mand to the sultan on the ground that under the proposed peace conditions he will be unable to guarantee the dis- cipline of the army.

Akron, Colo., July 3.—The Christian Endeavor train on the Burlington, which was wrecked here,was in charge of Engineer Wagner, and was going at a high rate of speed when it crashed into the fast freight ordered to switch at this point.

The passengers immediately went to the rescue of the horses and cattle, Bishop Fallows of Chicago being one of the first on hand with a lantern. GREATLY EXAGGERATED. The Bannock Indian Trouble Not as Bad as Reported. Washington, July 3. — The Bannock Indian trouble tn Idaho appears to have been greatly exaggerated by the settlers. Dispatches received indicate that the number of Indians off the res- ervation is much less than was stated; that there was little basis for general alarm throughout that country, and the object of the Indians who did leave the reservation was solely to se- cure food luxury in the form of camas- sa roots, a blue-flowered bulb whose sweet taste is much coveted by the In- dians. Lieut. Irwin, the agent at the Fort Hall reservation, wired that the situation was net as serious as repne- sented. LIKE A “VOLCANO. Remerkabte Subterranean Disturh- ances in Ohio. Batnbdridge, Ohio, July 3.—Some sub- terranean disturbance not unlike an in- cipient volcano disturbed a neighbor- hood a few miles from here near the junction of Rose, Pike and Highland counties.* It was attended by an un- derground rumbling and the appear- ance of deep fissures tn the ground, from which smoke or vapor issued. Daring people have attempted to fath- om some of these fissures, but did not find bottom. They are not accom- panied by heat and the alarmed peo- ple are at a loss to account for it. The disturbance seems entirely local. ale ee ° MRS. LINCOLN'S GRAVE. An Aassoctation Being Formed to Give It Proper Attention.

Aft- er consultation it was decided to form a memoria sociation, and the draft of the articles of association was made and these will be filed with the secre- tary of state. The Governor Will Investigate. Washington, July 8.—The secretary of state has written a letter to the gov- ernor of . California asking him to cause an investigation of the circum- stances under which two Japanese subjects were driven away from the new town of Johannisburg, in that state. This action is taken because the Japanese minister here has made complaint that the men, who were em- ployed as cooks and came in conflict with a local labor movement by being prevented from following their busi- ness, were deprived of privileges guar- anteed by treaty between the United States and Japan. Durrant’s Appeal. Washington, July 3.—The papers in the appeal of W. H. T. Durrant, under sentence of death in San Francisco for the murder of Blanche Lamont, have been received by the clerk of the Unit- ed States supreme court. The appeal is from the decision of the circuit court of the United States for the Ninth cir- cuit in refusing to grant Durrant’s mo- tion for a writ of habeas corpus. In his petition Durrant alleges the irregu- larity and illegality of the proceedings against him in the California state court Minister to Greece. Washington, July 3—It is understood that the president has selected W. W. Rockhill, late assistant secretary of state, for the post of United States minister to Greece, and that his nom- ination is likely to go to the senate to- morrow. Mr. Rockhill’s appointment will not be a party one in any sense, but will be based entirely upon his ex~ perience as a diplomat and his excel- Jent work while in the department of state. He entered the diplomatic serv- ice as far back as 1884. Mrs. Alderman Wants Divorce. Fond du Lae, Wis., July 3.—Ald. A. BE. Petters was served with divorce papers.

Chicago, July 2. — Three persons were killed outright and about twenty or thirty persons injured in a rear-end collision on the Chicago & Northwest- ern road at West Chicago, thirty miles out of Chicago, on the Galena division. The dead are Mrs. John Gooding, Appleton, Wis.; Mrs. R. Shipman, Ap- pleton, Wis., and an unidentified man riding between the engine and baggage car, supposed to be a tramp. The victims of the collision were Christian Endeavor delegates, who left Chicago en route for the great convention in San Francisco. The col- liding trains were sections 4 and 5 of a Christian Endeavor special sent out te nine sections. Section 5 ran into section 4, which left Chicago fifteen minutes ahead of it. Section 4 carried the Wisconsin delegates, nearly 500 strong, and in the rear sleeper were people from Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Appleton and other Wisconsin cities. Section 4 had co:ne to a stop just out of West Chicago, where the Freeport line diverges from the main line. Sec tion 5 came up behind at great speed and the shock of the collision was ter- rific. The passengers in the two rear cars of section 4 were all in their berths and most of them were asleep. They received no warning, and those not killed outright awoke to find them- selves jammed in the wreckage. Pas- sengers on both trains hastened to the spot and began the work of rescte. One of the first of the injured taken out was Engineer Charles Courtney, of section 5. He had stuck to his post like a hero, and is so seriously injured that he cannot live. ‘The body of an unidentffied man, supposed to be a tramp, was found be- tween the baggage car and the en- gine. The man had been crushed to death. An immediate call was made for help on every point within reach- ing distance. Chicago was notified and asked to send physicians at once, and medical help was requested from Geneva, Wheaton and Aurora. The engine of Section 5 struck the rear sleeper of section 4 with terrific force. The engine was totally wrecked. Strange to say, the rear sleeper of sec- tion 4 was not the one to suffer most. It was driven with terrific force upon the second sleeper, and such was its impetus that it crushed through it as if it had been a card box and reduced it.to a mass of wreckage. ‘The pas- sengers in the second sleeper were, therefore, the ones to suffer most, and it was in {t that most of the victims were hurt. Mrs. Shipman and Mrs, Gooding were both in the sleeper. Men and women could be seen struggling to extricate themselves from the wreck- age. thers, pinned down by some crushing weight, were crying for help. Here and there was-an arm of a leg protruding from the debris. The responsibility for the wreck has not yet been fixed, but the investiga- tion indicates that it was caused by Engineer Charles Courtney, of section 5, running to the station this side of West Chicago without having been re- leased. No statement is obtainable from Courtney at present as he is too badly injured to talk. The officials of the Northwestern railroad made the following statement concerning the accident: “There were only two sleepers dam- aged. They were the Cold Spring and Garrison, conveying a delegation from Wisconsin to the Christian Endeavor convention at San Francisco. Three people were killed outright and nine- teen were injured. The injured have been taken to St. Luke’s hospital and the physicidns in attendance say that they all will recover. The accident occasioned no retention to the numer- ous special trains earrying Christian Endeavor people from the East.” KILLED IN A WRECK REAR-END COLLISION OF TWO CHRIS- A HOT WIRE. One Man Electrocuted and Several Others Badly Burned. Cleveland, July 2. — On man was electrocuted near here, another was horribly shocked and several were se- verely burned. The accident occurred ; at Nine-Mile creek, in the eastern sub- urb. The men were building a stone abutment with the aid of a huge der- rick over the creek.

A current of several thousand volts was pulsating through the wire. 1 Work or Get Out. Portland, Or., July 2. — Albert E.
