His story is that some time ago, long bofore the murder at Fontancile was committed, Sloan eame to his place, two miles north of Crowell, and left two horses and u colt for pasturage.

Grana Duke and and Duchess Viadimir left yesterday, and tomorrow Grand Duke Alexis will follow them, and then, to borrow the words of a member of the French cabinet, “Wo shall be able to fall among ourselves again.” Despite the warm sympathy the French feel for Russia, thoy are anxious for q uiet, and how warm tneir sympathy 1s may be judged from the fact that *Michael Stro- £Off,”" with its Russian subject, draws ¥,000 francs nightly at tho theator in which it is being performed. As you have already heard by c Giers halted in Berlin on s way home. No details of a reliablo nature have yet been received regarding his proceedings thore. Al that is cortain is that he had an audience of the German emperor, which lasted only twenty minutes: that after giving audience to the Russian minister the emnoror attended the prosentation of the colors by the recruits of the guard, and that on hearing the oath of all gianco he remarked: “All justifies the belief thut, with God’s help, you will only be called on to prove your fidelity and courage in time of peace.” It is supposed that, with his impulsive nature, this young emperor is not wholly delighted at this tranquil prospect. But all this is mero gossip, and 1t is quite possible uo practical results will come of M. de Giers’ stay in Berlin. Terms of the Dreibund.

Tho smaller bills aro got- ting scarcer and scarcer, and there is general complaint about the dilatory manner in which the treasury is putting iuto circu lation the silver and copper coins now being received from Spaio, It 15 reportea that planters oxperience increased difficulty in procuring the funds they need to complete their preparatory work. This circumstance is likely to increase considerably the cost of sugar production, as woney can be obtained now only at very high rates, even on the vory best sceurity.

Rosolutions were adonted endorsing the principle of assisting local autnorities in Gireat Britain to acquire land for the purpose of facilitating the creation of small rural holdings, which will be of great advantage to the country by checking the prosent drain upon the rural districts; favoring the exten sion of commerce npon 8 proferentinl basis throughout ail parts of the British empiro, and that the provisions of any treaties in posini limitations upon the full development of trade between the United Kingdom and other parts of the British™ empire should be abrogated, and favoring repeal clauses in the ballot act permitting the illiterato to vot The unionists of Birmingham gave a lunchicon in honor of Lord Salisbury today. Iu aspoech he expressed sorrow for the deatn of Lord Lytton, and said that the fame of that diplomatist would long remain. Re- ferring to the tarifl question, ho smd that on all sides there appearea constantly increasing protective duties, which were calculated to stifle British trade. The protection theor: on which the tariffs were founded, grew liko the other evil passions upon which it fed, Watching British statistics, he could not but foel anxiety lest the efforts of foroign protec- tionists snould be partially successful. The crrors of foreign statesmen might be trans- mitted to Great Britain, Undoubtedly Brit- ish trade was being hindered for the moment by foreign leeislation, Continuing, he saia: Wi had trouble in rural alstricts, where no longer sound employment can be ob- tained us formerly, Men have had to seek a desperate remedy by movinz into towns. 10 ernment will sefze withnvidity any meas- ure promising lezitimately to Increuse cm= ployment for luborers, either in towns or rural disiricts, One of the most acute of the government's anxieties was the fact that people in their | nce tred gomedies which, it obtained. 1ld plunge them into far ereater misery. The government had anarrow path to tread it must avoid dangerous apathy In attempt- ing to cure suffering by shuply ignoring the causes. On the other hand. it must shun the far more dangerous course’ of wandering into economic errors that might plunge the whole country Into irreparable disaster., He conciuded by congratulating *he liberal- unionists on their steady adhesion to the conservative alliance. 7 Mr. Joseph Chamberiain ‘roferred to the widening of the gulf separating the dissi- donts from the Gladstonians. He said he once hoved for a speedy reunion, but now he neither looked for nor desired a reunion. Whatever vicissitudes protracted the strug- gle, the unionists would march shoulder to shoulder with the conseryatives, until they finully _defeated the conspiracy against the intezrity of the empire. The jomnt efforts of the unionists and conservatives would both save the country from disiptearation and give the people legislation based upon true demo- cratic instincts.

A speech was also made by Prince Cas- sano. Mujor Brackett also said a fewy words in beha!f of his country.

Germany Increasing the Efficiency of Her Naval Forces Brnuiy, Nov. 25.—In the navy estimates for 182 provision 15 made for an annual addi- tion to the navy of 2,218 men, exclusive of marines, the first levy to join their ships in April, 1302, and the term of ser vica 'to De twelve years. Thus up- wards of 20,000 men will be gradually added to the effective strength of the navy, more than doubling the pres war strength, The torpedo corps will be increased by men. The estimates also provide that 1,800 officers and chief mates shall be gradually added to the navy, begin- ning in Apnl, 1852, The warships now atlout have only about one-third their full compie- ment of sailors, and there are not enough engineers to put them on a war footing.

Report of the Superintendent Sta- tioned at Pont Barrow —Sulfe ings of the Natives—A Haven for Belated Wh Wasmixaroy, D. Nov. 25.—Mr. C. B. Borden, superintendent of the United States retuge station at Point Barrow, Alaska, has mado a report to the Treasury departmeut in regard to the condition of afairs at tho sta tion and 1n the vicinity during the last fiscal year. The report is dated August 9, and says “We have heard nothing from the ships this year, and as it is getting late for them and as winter is setting in, it is vory doubt- ful if any will arrivo at this place. Ice in leavy masses and very compact extends off shore from the bar us faras thoeye can reach, Snow has fallen on two occasions, and vestorday morning we had new fce nearly an inch thick The natives say the ships cannot get here on account of ico. Wo have on band forty tons of coal and stores suflicient to carry us along comfortably, un less some disaster vefalls the ships for an- other year. “During the last year thero were four births at Ci the village, while at the same the principal native chief, whoso death was due to alcoholism, Of the births, one child was born out on the ico and died beforo it could bo brought to land. Onn reason for so few births 1s the great dread the women have of being put iuto a snow house during their coufinement. A limited amount of food is furnished them, but all care, attention and communication aro pro- hivited. In this condition they must romain for a crtain number of days. Somo froezo, some starve and many dio from other causes. No wonder tho women dread the orceal aud doall they can to avoid child- boaring. “The winter has been mild, with much ploasant weather. At one time the sea was partly frozen over, but was broken up by a galo and tho ica was piled high along the const. Tho coldest woather was 1n January, when the thermometer stood at 49.4= below zero. When tho station was built thero vias not another houso within half a mile of it. Now thore are half a dozen within 400 yards and tho number 1s increasing so ns to threaten tho present limited water supply.”’ Tho superintendent expresses the opinion that the refugo station tilled with rough sail- ors of different nationalities is not tho proper placo for a_native school, and he sugwests that other provisions be made for the educa tion of the young natives.
