Correspondence at the Morning -Yews.
Washington, July 3.—lf aflybody be
lieves that H. R. H. Wares Varariddhi,
the Siamese Prince, who is just complet
ing his tour of this country, is a heathen
in the accepted sense of the term, or is
lacking in the customs and accomplish
ments of civilization, let him at once put
aside that belief. Prince Varariddhi and
his suite have just left here, bidding a
final adieu to their triends at the State
Department and among the diplomats
generally. They pronounce their stay
not only in Washington, but in this coun
try, a very agreeable one, and pronounce
it so in the best of English, too. If we are
to judge of Siam by the representatives
she has sent us as members of this em
bassy she will make a very creditable
neighbor. Wares Varariddhi, the
Prince, instead- of being a jab
bering heathen, as one. would natur
ally suppose, dressed in the habili
ments of the far East, is a natty-looking
little fellow with regular, clear-cut fea
tures, straight well-brushed hair, clothes
cut after the latest American fash
ion and fitting as well as President
Arthur’s best, language a pure English,
with scarcely a trace ot foreign accent,
and manner which marks him at once as
a gentleman and man of the world. In
deed, the whole partv was in its make up
a surprise to Washington, which is ac
customed to seeing the best of foreign
representatives coming to this country.
PRINCE VARAREDDHI OF SIAM.
They were all an intelligent looking lot
of young men, elegantly dressed in Ameri
can costume, and presented as they drove
about the city or walked through the cor
ridors of the capitol a very attractive ap
pearance. In stature and appearance
they were something similar to the best
class of the Japanese, being very much
below the average size of Americans and
dressed in the neatest of fitting suits,
with shining silk hats and well blacked
shoes. They were the observed of all ob
servers wherever they -went. “I have
been very much gratified with the result
of our trip,” said Nares Varariddhi, talk
ing of it just before leaving. “We have
been handsomely treated wherever we
have been, and will carry very pleasant
recollections of our trip as we leave
America.”
“And what are your impressions of the
United States as you have "seen it?”
“That it is a great country,” he replied.
“Indeed, we could not see it otherwise—a
great country and a great people, and one
with whom 1 hope the relations of our
own country will be in future very near.”
In question of expenditures these heath
ens set an example worthy of note by a
good many people. For instance, their
hotel bill during their three days’ stay
here this week was $5OO. Their railroad
expenses were in about the same propor
tion tor their travel in a private car with
all the luxuries that modern civilization
can furnish. On leaving the hotel they
testified their appreciation of the atten
tions shown them by the employes by
presenting the “hall boys” of the hotel
with $25 apiece, the chamber maid having
charge of their rooms with a similar sum,
the servants who attended the table in
their private dining-room $25 each, and
the head waiter $5O, giving away several
hundred dollars in presents at the hotel.
Their carriage hire for the three days
they were here was $75. Their expenses
during the two months they have been in
this country have probably been, $12,000
or $15,000, perhaps more.
GOVERNOR MURRAY.
Gov. Murray, of Utah, having been
reappointed and reconfirmed, has left for
Salt Lake City, accompanied by his wife.
He is the first Governor of Utah for a long
time who has evinced the capacity or wil
lingness to successfully deal with the
Mormon question. “It is to be a hard
fight and probably a long one,” he said to
your correspondent, “though that depends
upon Congress. But it has got to be by a
vigorous tight that the greatest evil in our
government is to be removed.”
“Was the law enacted by the last Con
gress, known as the ‘Edmunds law,’ a
success in enabling you to suppress po
lygamy ?”
“It was a step in the right direction; it
forms a link in the chain which will final
ly enable us to throttle this great evil of
Mormonism. What we most need is a
setting aside of the authority of the Mor
mon Legislature, and of the appointment,
by the authority of Congress, of a Legis
lative Commission which shall make laws
which, when enforced, will bring the de
sired result.”
“And can you enforce them if they are
made ?”
“Yes, undoubtedly.”
“What do you think, Governor, of the
bill just passed by the Senate ?”
“I* a good one if the House will pass
it, and it will aid very much. It will be
a long step in the right direction.”
“It was claimed, Governor, by Elder
Cannon and others, after the passage of
the Edmunds law, that all polygamists in
Utah had put away their numerous
wives, and were from that time forward
monogamists only ?”
“Was it?” said the Governor, with a
curious smile. “Well, nobody who knows
anything about the real state of facts
there would belief any such story. A few
of them did go through the motions of a
performance of that sort, but it was onlv
for effect.”
“What proportion of the Mormons are
polygamists do you think, Governor?”
“About 20 per cent. I should
think,” be said, “and I am frank to say
that I have, if it is possible for any of
them, more respect lor the polygamists
among the Mormons than " I have
for the monogomists. A curious as
sertion is it not?” he laughed. “Well, I
ought to qualify, it perhaps by adding that
the few who practice polygamy have the
courage of their convictions, while the
large proportion of the Mormons believ
ing in polygamy simply give their assent
to it, and by remaining in and working
with the Mormon Church make it possi
bly for that body to establish within our
country a government of its own inde
pendent of our country and its laws.
Polygamy is degrading, brutal, beastly,
I have no words to express too strongly
my horror ol it and its results, but 1 have
a still greater detestation of the higher
crime, which makes this possible and es
tablishes within our government another
government totally dissimilar to our own,
defying our laws, and making a
blot upon our body politic of which
this erime polygamy is aq incident. 1
It is this general system with its inci
dents which the monogamists, who are in
the majority in the Mormon church, make
possible.”
Gov. Murray, as is shown by his face,
is a man, though yet young, of iron will.
He is scarcely 40 years of age, having
come out of the war at its close a Briga
dier General, and yet not 21. After laying
aside the sword, he resumed his studies
and graduated, and was after this ap
pointed Marshal of Kentucky, his native
State, which position he held for many
years and finally resigned, becoming then
manager ol the Louisville Commercial,
which position he held successfully until
his appointment as Governor of Utah,
by R. B. Hayes, four years ago.
HINTON ROWAN HELPER.
One of the most interested and anxious
men in Washington this week has been
the Hon. Hinton Rowan Helper, ex-Con
sul to Buenos Ayres and author of the
celebrated ante bell urn work, “The Im
pending Crisis,” and more recently origi
nator of the project for uniting by rail
road Northern, Central and Southern
America. “The Three Americas Railway”
he calls it. It is, in brief, a plan f*r a
railway line reaching from the southern
portion of South America to connect with
the railway system of the United States.
For seventeen years this man, whose
work, “The Impending Crisis,” probably
did more to bring on the war which
liberated the slaves than any other work
except that of Mrs. Stowe, has been re
volving this project in his mind, putting
it in shape and impressing it upon the pub
lic. Like all men with great ideas, he has
been all his life ahead of the times.
For seventeen years, ever since his re
turn from his position as Consul at
Buenos Ayres, which he resigned, after
asking in vain to be relieved, he has given
his thought and time and money to the
colossal project of the “Three Americas
Railway.” “My original plan,” he said,
talking’ to your correspondent, “was a
single railway line reaching from Hud
son’s Bay to Patagonia. I have been con
tent to modify it materially, however, be
cause American enterprise has already
accomplished nearly half the work. Not
only is this country gridironed with rail
ways. but now, thanks to American en
terprise and energy’, they extend to the
City of Mexico, and are being pushed into
Central America. A railway system in
South America has been begun since my
plan for this line came to me seven
teen years ago, in a fit of sea
sickness fin route home from
South America. I have spent thousands
of dollars and many years in trying to
get this intelligently belore the public
and get some action looking toward an
accomplishment of the work. At last my
efforts have been recognized to some ex
tent at least by an addition to the con
sular and diplomatic bill providing for
the appointment ot three commissioners
to visit the governments ot Central and
South America to gather facts and figures
and expression of views which may open
the way for nearer commercial relations
between the United States and those pHv
ernments. This, if adopted, I consider
the opening wedge which shall bring
about nearer commercial relations and
add millions to our commerce with those
countries, and finally, perhaps in my
time, if not in that of the generation
which shall follow, in the contruction of
the Three Americas Railway.”
MR. SPURGEON’S JUBILEE.
A Great Gathering in the Metropolitan
Tabernacle.
Correspondence of the Morning New s.
London, June 20. —Last night 1 at
tended a meeting which merits more than
an ordinary notice. I allude to the great
gathering in .the Metropolitan Tabernacle,
to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary
of Mr. Spurgeon’s nativity, he having
been born in Kelvedon, a little village in
the county of Essex, on June 19,
1834. As your journal circulates widely
through the largely-Baptist State of Geor
gia, I hasten to place you in possession of
a brief account, which will be read with
extensive and intense interest. Not
that Baptists only admire Mi*. Spurgeon,
for all who profess and call themselves
Christians share the esteem that is felt for
the man who has wrought a work
which for elements of philanthropy and
piety, power and permanence, is almost
unique in human history. Many will
marvel when they are informed or re
minded that Mr. Spurgeon is only 50 years
old; for again and again have I been met
with expressions of surprise when, in an
swer to inquiries as to his age, I have
told his friends in Georgia and in other
parts of America, the year of his birth.
For thirty years he has been, in a sense,
the Prime Minister of England, certainly
our most popular preacher, while in every
quarter of the globe his name has become
famous; and yet he is hut now in the
meridian of manhood, with, it is hoped,
many years of honor and usefulness still
before him, ere his extraordinary day of
divine duty shall end in evening rest.*
Furnished with the indispensable card
of admission I made my way last evening
to the vast Tabernacle, which was be
sieged outside by an eager crown, many
of whom were doomed to remain without,
not having the passport. Inside the build
ing, half an hour before the proceedings
opened, 6,000 persons filled every seat,
and when I gained a square foot of space
where 1 could stand, not far from the
platform, I saw a sight that defies de
scription. Such a mass of living men and
women is a matter for thoughtful wonder
ment, but not for words. At 6:30 the hero
of the hour appeared, and what a greet
ing he received! A sea of upturned faces
broke into smiles of welcome; the floods
clapped their hands, the swelling sea be
came voiceful with shouts, and, amid
white waves of pocket handkerchiefs, the
tumult roared and resounded until it sank
into a great calm as the honored preacher
uttered the voice of prayer. After this
commencement the exercises were con
tinued through three memorable hours.
Their excitement culminated about 9
o’clock, when Mr. Thomas Olney, the
Treasurer of the jubilee' fund, presented
Mr. Spurgeon with a tangible token of
appreciation in the form of a check for
£4,500, or $21,500. This was given, as the
Treasurer stated, on account, as more
money is expected from admiring donors
in America, Great Britain, and other
parts of the world who desire to have
shares in this merited and
timely testimonial, which includes
not only the hundreds of pounds
from opulent merchants, but also the pen
nies of the laborers, the farthings of Sun
day school children, and the widows’
mites. 1 will not attempt a synopsis of
the speeches that were delivered. The
octogenarian Earl of Shaftesbury, who
presided, spoke of Mr. Spurgeon as the
most admirable, amiable and honorable
man he had ever known. Canon Basil
Wilberforce, as a dignitary of the Estab
lished Church, felt privileged to bear wit
ness to the faithful minister of the gospel,
whose work was a national blessing. The
Rev. Newman Hall, as a near neighbor,
said nothing but kind things of one who
was best beloved by those who knew him
most intimately. Sir William McArthur,
M. P., as a Methodist, claimed Mr. Spur
geon for the universal church. And Dr.
Parker, of the City Temple, humorously
contrasted Mr. Spurgeon’s present re
nown with the obloquy of certain
short-sighted critics thirty years ago.
It was exceedingly gratifying to all pres
ent to see Mrs. Spurgeon enter into re
newed health, after being an invalid near
ly twenty years. And upon the platform
were the faces of the father, brother and
son of the renowned pastor of th e Taber
nacle. The occasion was in many ways
significant. Honest service for God and
man has its reward; the masses still love
the simple gospel of divine love; the pul
pit has not tost its pristine power; “blood
is thicker than water,” and the horoscope
of the future is flushed with hope.

TOPICS BY THE HALF DOZEN.
New York’s Eye on the Cholera —Nairne’e
Suicide—Rev. Dr. Prime’* Family
Skeleton*.
Correspondence of the Morning Xeus.
New York, July 3.—The progress of
the cholera epidemic in France is watched
with interest by those who know how in
capable the Board of Health would proba
bly be to deal with the plague should it
reach here. The Health Department,
composed almost exclusively of Republi
cans. is one of the most useless in view of
the means at its command, and most ex
pensive of the municipal institutions.
Red tape rules in all its divisions, as Gen.
Shaler, its military President, has named
its different branches. Every complaint
is “respectfully referred” from one divi
sion to another, so that weeks elapse be
fore action upon it is taken—the nuisance
complained of continuing in the mean
time unabated. Respectful reference and
shifting of responsibility will not do when
cholera comes. Unless. indeed ? the epi
demic, should it visit this city, is treated
in a very different manner from that ordi
narily popular with the health officers,
death will reap a rich harvest) Our Re
publican and military sanitarians must
change their tactics it they would fight
cholera successfully.
The suicide of Thomas M. Nairne yes
terday caps the climax of calamities
which have been the lot of a daughter of
a well known Southern family. Mrs.
Nairne. the suicide's stepmother, is one
of the Virginia Bradfords. Her husband,
the late Prof. Nairne, of Columbia Col
lege, was one of the most cultured in
structors ef that institution. He was a
Scotchman, and was a graduate of the
University of Glasgow. The suicide was
his son by a first wife. Rosalie Murray
Nairne, the only child by his second mar- I
riage, died of scarlet fever at the age of
twenty, after but three days illness, al
most three year* ago. She was a lovely
and accomplished girl, and was beloved
by all who knew her. Her death broke
her mother’s heart, and since the death of
her husband the bereaved mother has been
more than alone in the world, for her step
son, owing probably to the hereditary
insanity which caused him to take
his own life, acted as if
she were an enemy. Had she
been his enemy, he doubtless could not
have inflicted a more shocking blow upon
her than to have chosen her house as the
place to kill himself in. If Mrs. Nairne
does not die as a resfllt of this accumula
ted series of misfortunes, it will be be
cause sorrow trouble do not kill, how
ever they may torture. Tom Nairne
was always considered rather queer and
flighty. He was supposed to be in love
with his stepmother’s niece, Marion Brad
ford, and her marriage to an army officer
was considered a great grief to bint. One
might have imagined that his disappoint
ment aggravated his hereditary disposition
to insanity and been the cause of his sui
cide, had he not attended the wedding and
appeared to be the happiest of the guests.
THE WORST ELEMENTS IN THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY
in this State are increasing their efforts to
prevent the nomination of Gov. Cleveland
at Chicago next week. Were the opposi
tion to him being such as it is, confined to
his own party, it might be ignored, but
unfortunately the veto of the five-cent
fare bill, a proper and praiseworthy meas
ure In view ot the bill being unconstitu
tional, has tended to make him unpopular
not only with the working classes, but
with what, for want of a better term, 1
6hall call the middle class, which is prin
cipally composed of Republicans. The
working people, indeed, have no right to
complain of the veto for the bill did not
affect them, as they only use the elevated
railroads during the present five-cent
hours. Tradesfolk and clerks, and for
that matter, nearly all business and pro
fessional men, together with shoppers and
theatre-goers, have more reason to “kick”
on account of the veto, as the proposed
extension of the five-cent hours
would have been a saving to them
of a nickel almost every time they
would be most apt to travel on the ele
vated roads. Gov. Cleveland, therefore,
if nominated, would doubtless loso many
Independent and Republican, as well as
Democratic votes here in the city, be
cause of the veto, but there can be no or
ganized opposition to him by the labor
unions, for they are alrerjj pledged to
oppose Blaine. On account of the Tri
bune’s employment of non-union composi
tors Typographical Union No. 6 has ob
tained the pledge of all the other unioDS
that they will vote against the Tri
bune’s candidate. They will, therefore,
be forced to support Cleveland, in the
event of his nomination, not because they
like him more, but Blaine less. As to the
opposition of Tammany, Cleveland’s
friends claim that it would gain him more
Republican and Independent votes than
it would lose him Democratic, as decent
people consider the candidate John Kelly
is opposed to to be the one of all others to
be supported.
THERE ARE DISADVANTAGES IN HAVING
FOREIGN NURSES
for one’s children in order that they may
acquire lingual proficiency. It often re
sults in a child’s acquiring a foreign
language at the expense of his own, so
that his uncultured parents are hardly
able to communicate with him. This is
the case with not a few New Yorkers,
notably with “Willie” Vanderbilt, as the
son of William H. Vanderbilt is called to
distinguish him from Jbe “old man.”
Willie’s five-year-old boy has a French
and a German nurse who have orders
never to speak English to him, but to
address him each in her own tongue.
The consequence is that the child speaks
French and German fluently, but can
hardly speak English at all.’ Absurdly
enough, too, the few words of English
which he knows he pronounces with an
atrocious German accent, and he says
“dat” and “dis” ‘tor “that” and “this.”
He understands English as little as he
speaks it, so that “Willie,” who
knows no language but his own,
is debarred from talking to his own son.
When the two are together, one of the
nurses, or Mrs. Vanderbilt, who speaks
French and German with ease if not with
entire correctness, has to act as inter
preter between them. As without a com
mon language, it is difficult to comply
with Solomon’s maxim, “Spare the rod
and spoil the child,” Mrs. Vanderbilt is
the boy’s chastizer when he misbehaves.
She would, however, be more apt to act
in this capacity than her husband in any
event.
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF SKELETONS
in the closets of New York families—that
in the Rev. Dr. Prime’s family probably
has not often had its parallel. According
to the account generally accepted, when
the first wife of Dr. Prime died, her sister
wished to be her successor. The doctor,
however, did not share in the wish, and
when he married again he chose another
woman for his wife. His sister-in-law,
unable to get the father, actuated by
pique or some less worthy motive,married
the son—her own nephew. It is not often
that a nephew is willing to marry his
aunt, but, in this ease, although the groom
was 24 and the bride 39, she was a well
preserved woman and by no means looked
her jears.
When one remembers that Cleopatra
was 40 and native ol a climate where
women age faster than they do here, at
the time Anthony considered the world
well lost for love, it is not inconceivable
that a woman under forty may some
times have charms for a man even fifteen
years younger. Young Prime, too, in
making love to his aunt and she in re
ceiving his attentions, followed an his
torical example in which the discrepancy
in age is greater and the relationship, in
some respects, nearer. Minon de l’Euclos’
grandson, ignorant of the relationship,
fell in love with her, and she, equally
ignorant, returned his attachment. Their
flirtation came to an end, however, when
their consanguinity was discovered.
But I am treating a matter of doubtful
morality with too much levity. Let me
dismiss the subject, therefore, with the
addition that the maimed aunt and
nephew were sent to Coventry, when they
went to live in a village near here, anil
they are obliged to live in some obscure
town in the West, where their relation
ship is not known In order to escape the
ostracism of their fellow creatures, so
great is the disgust inspired by a union
forbidden alike by the laws of consan
guinity and decency!
ROSCOE CONKLING HAS A SUITE OF
ROOMS
on the second floor of the house adjoining
the premises of the Bar Association, in
West Twenty-ninth street. His stately
figure is familiar to the neighbors, who
watch with interest his visible movements
and note every visitor whom he receives.
A recent visitor has been Father Ducey,
who on one occasion brought a gorgeous
bouquet of rare flowers which he pre
sented to the ex-favorite son of New York.
When George Bliss’ conversion to Roman
ism was announced, it was suggested
that Father Ducey’s visits upon Mr.
Conkling had a religious motive, and that
he hoped to astonish the World with an
even more distinguished convert than
Monsignor Capel’s. Father Ducey’s con
spicuous connection with Eno, however,
! forbids any but a legal interpretation of
| his calls upon Mr. Conkling.
The first thought of respeeta ; HO people
! on reading of the fistic fiasco at the Madi
j son Square Garden on Monday evening
was one of satisfaction. At tirst view it
! seemed as if such brutal exhibitions had
received their death blow; that Sullivan’s
I untimely drunkenness must have dis
gusted the most ardent and most brutal
of his admirers. Those, however, who
fully realize the mania for the noble art
of self-defense, which exists in New Y ork,
are convinced that the Garden would have
been equally crowded had ai other ex
hibition been announced for the evening
following the fiasco. D.
