A Miniature Business Community.
Atlanta, Jan. 27.—Prominent among
tbe growing institutions of the citv of At
lanta stands Moore’§ Business University,
where young men are educated and quali
fied to take their places in the business, or
mercantile community.
The method of instruction at this insti
tution is such that the student goes by no
book formula, but is immediately placed,
as it were, in business for himself, and
made to assume all the responsibilities of
his position. That this is a good system,
and one by which the student is made to
acquire a thoroughly practical knowledge
of everything relating to business life,
there can he no donbt, as the system has
been practiced for years and without a
single exception it has been found to ac
complish for the student all that could be
desired. Many of the prominent mer
chants of this city bear unqualified testi
mony as to tbe soundness and entire prac
ticability of the system, while hundreds of
the students educated at Moore’s fill the
most responsible positions as book-keepers
and clerks, in many of the leading houses
in the south.

ing, and the Uves of several of the citizens

New York, Jan. 28.—The stock market
continues to grow: both in strength and
breadth^ to-flay*s transactions exceeding
those of the corresponding hours of any
day for a long time and the sales of sev
eral full days during the present week.
The sentimeut of the room was bullish
throughout. Lackawanna was a great
feature, trading in it being very heavy,
but in strength it was rivaled by the Mis
souri Pacific and Colorado coal. The
opening was at irregular changes from last
evening’s clobiug prices, but the market
became strong Immediately, Lackawanna
starting off with a gain of 11,with Colorado
coal following. There was a slight check
to the advance near 11 o’clock, but Mis
souri Pacific, Northwestern and Western
Union look up the lead, and with a
marked .increase in the activity,
further gains were made through

continued firm to the close, which was

have been abandoned. The condition of
affairs, now existing between the two
governments, is simply that each Is lying
in wait for the first chance to strike. Re
ports received at the war office, from
agents on the Polish frontier, intimate a
renewal of activity among Russian troops;
The difficulties in tbe way to transporting
the troops are remedied. The commis
sariat has been improved, and disease
among the troops is decreasing in the
provinces of Volbynia and Podolia. Mili
tary requisitions, for grain forage, are
causing s dearth of provisions among the
people. At Kremenentz eight great
magazines are being built. They will be
surrounded by fortificAtions. At Doubno
accommodations have been ordered for
30,000 troops. At Luck, between
Doubno and West Ladimir Walinski, a
new camp is being constructed,
which will cover thirty odd troops. These
preparations would seem to indicate an in
tention of invading Galacia. The AustrUn
war officials suspect that the real object in
view is the invasion of Bulgaria, and that
the aim of the czar’s strategy is to entrap
Austria into sending the bulk of her forces
into Galacia, while the real coup is de
livered in the Balkan peninsula. The inter
views which a member of the Roumanian
cabinet had at Vienna and Friedriohsruhe
have resulted in an entente cordiale.
If Russia enters Roumania, Austria
will hold the step to be a casus belli.
Btourdza is understood to have obtained
from Bismarck the assurance that Rou
manian territory would be enlarged in tho
event of the defeat of Russia. Rumor
credits Btourdza with suggesting a solution
of the Bulgarian problem by the extension
of Roumania to the Aegian sea. with Sol-
onlca as the capital. This project would
receive no countenance from Austria, as
she, too, has designs for the final extension
of her territory to Salonica.
The sinews of war have been obtained
by the Russian treasury by a loan arranged
in Amsterdam, the amount of which is
said to be 4,500,000 pounds sterling. Herr
Von TiszA b«a concluded negotiations with
Frankfort Rothschild for a loan of29,000,-

ment which is conscious of duty, and will
be better unde* stood by the people than
the Laissez Aler policy pursued by the
former administrations toward the Par-
nellites, whose policy, instead of allaying
the spirit of rebellion, caused it to swell to
such proportions as to become an eminent
danger to the united kingdom.
Prof. Virchow, in a letter discussing
the latest phase of the crown prince’s ill
ness, says he is of the opinion that the
disease is not cancer. The features of the
disease are those of perichondritus, a mal
ady which develops slowly and is accom
panied by expulsions of particles similar
to that in the case of the crown prince.
The last microscopical examination of the
growth, which was made in November,
disclosed the fact that the mistake had
been in attributing a portion of the matter
analyzed to soft cancer. , ,
Lady Randolph Churchill, in a short in
terview, declared that it was her personal

ing Bulgaria, to the advisability
government’s taking the initiative in sum
moning an international conference to set
tle the Bulgarian affair in tho sense of the
programme of 1880, and aa to whether
Austria might count upon the alliance of
Germany and Italy, in case the efforts now
being made to maintain peace did
not succeed, emphatically declared
that there was ground to doubt
the reciprocal honesty of tho powers,
allied for the preservation of peace and
for their own security. In consequence of
the marked displacement of Russian
troops, and their transfer in the direction
of the Austrian frontier, the government,
without doubting the czar’s pacific declara
tions and avoiding all semblance of provo
cation, considered it a duty to see that the
necessary measures were taken to assure
the safety of the frontier and the efficiency
of the army, in case of an emergency.
The alliance of the central Eu
ropean powers had never been
anything but a league of peace,
purely defensive and foreign to any ag
gressive action. He hoped the peace lov
ing monarchies and governments would
succeed in maintaining peace and remov
ing the feeling of insecurity which weighs
heavily on Europe.

Mr. : I was glad to receive yours of
the 19th. We are still waiting for the
president, who moves with great delibera

pleases. Ills principal nominations, so far,
have surprised the democrats as much
as they have the republicans, but they are
generally strong men whose selection wil
be appreciated by the conservative forces
of the couutry. He has no imagination or
sentiment, and his policy will not be sen
sational or startling, but if he keeps on as
he has begun his administration will grow
in popular favor. He is aelf-posseeoed aud
confident, and exhibits no pertur
bation or timidity. Good humor
prevails, though there is much in
audible grumbling among tho democrats
at the delay in turning the rascals out; but
if Cleveland can stand the racket for the
next twelve months, he will bring his
party to its knees, and become a strong
leader. Hu has a great opportunity, and
evidently intends to improve it.

under tho auspices of the Auxiliary society

immense crowd of colored people, citizens
and northern visitors. A speech was made
by Willis Menard, the first colored con
gressman from Florida, iu which he con
gratulated loth races on the harmony
existing, and advised the colored people to
work out their own destiny, not as the
slaves of any political party, but as free
men. He advocated a reduction of the
tariff on clothing and articles in daily use.

THE MOVEMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL
ARBITRATION.
CongreHH Memorialized to Promote an
Anglo-American Treaty Htlpulating
1 hat all (Juarreu Khali l»e Hub- *
luitted to Arbitration.
Washington, Jan. 24.—The memorial to
congress presented to-day in the house by
Mr. Belmont, in favor of arbitration for
the settlement of international disputes, is
a cogent and noteworthy appeal. Of the
six signatories, one is Mayor Hewitt of
New York, and tbe other five—David Dud
ley Field, Andrew Carnegie. Dorman B.
Eaton, Morris K. Jesup ana Charles A.
Peabody—were appointed by Mayor Hew
itt pursuant to a resolution passed at a re
cent public meeting in New York city,
which was held for the express purpooe of
urging the acceptance of a treaty provid
ing that all ftiture disputes between Great
Britain aud tbe United States shall he set
tled by arbitration. Two hundred and
thirty-three members of the British par
liament are in favor of such a treaty.
The aim of the proposal Is to eonflrni
the friendship and Increase the security of
e.«ch nation. “If we look beyond our
selves,” say the petitioners, “it is some
thing to consider what may be the effect
ot such a treaty as we propose upon the
future of mankind. While it is true that
if our two nations cannot agree to form
such a treaty no other nation can, it is
also true that when once we shall have
made it our example must have an influ
ence upon other branches of tho human
family. If the world should ste, as we
hope it will, that the two great English-
speaking nations have promised to liye ^in

two-thirds of which was made payable to

No One Hurt.
Cincinnati, Jan. 28.—While the Pan
handle train east waa running through
the city of Dayton this morning, and was
crossing the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton track, one coach left the track and
ran on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day-
ton road, and was thrown on its side. Tho
following coach was derailed. The ofti-
, ...til each other, and have kept the
promise and prospered in the keeping, it
would not be long before the spectacle
would attract tbe attention and the sym
pathy of other nations, and by tho force of
self-interest lead them to disburden them
selves by their intolerable armaments,
and, leaving the ranks of unprosperoua
war, take the side ol prosperous peace.”
It is the dally prayer of one of the
churches of Christendom: “Give us peace
In our time,” and a like prayer goes up
from every holy temple.
War is not what it used to be In the days
of our fathers. The gunur il of our army
has lately declared, on a public occasion,
that the weapons of warfare have become
so destructive that they must needs cause
wars to cease and oblige nations to report
to arbitration for the settlement of their
disputes, or, he might have added, modern
warfare will reduce mankind to tne barba
rism of the primeval ages.
War being an unspeakable evil, how
shall a nation be prevented from attack
ing another for some cause, real or feigned,
some grievance or some pretense?
This is the answer: “By agreeing
beforehand that it will not at
tack without first offering to sub
mit. Its grievances to impartial arbiters.
This would at once nut an end to simulated
grievances and furnish a remedy for real
ones. It would substitute tuo arbitrament
of reason for the arbitrament of the sword .
Bince the generul ratification of 1815
there have been nearly sixty instancees of
arbitration for the settlement of interna
tional disputes, and a detailed review of
them shoe's that the results nave been
eminently practical aud salutary. • The
Berlin congress of 1878 was real y a court
of arbitration.
The Berlin congress of 1884, in which
fifteen different powers were represented,
held for tho settlement of tho relations be
tween the different states on the Congo,
contained a provision tor arbitration, in
case of disputes between these states.
Switzerland, in 1883, proposed to the
United States to enter into an arbitral con
vention for thirty years, binding the con
tracting parties to submit any differences
arising between them to a tribunal ot three
members, one to be chosen by each party
and the third by tboee two,, or, if they
should disagree, by a neutral government.
Regarding this proposal, the president
made use of the following language in his
annual message to congress: “The Helve
tian confederation has proposed the in
auguration of a class of international
treaties for the refcrinent to arbitration
of grave questions between nations. This
government has assented to the proposed
negotiation of such a treaty with Switzer
land.”
Colombia and Honduras have entered
into a treaty by which they have bound
themselves to submit all diflerenrers to ar
bitration, tho arbitratory to be the presi
dent ofthe United State for the time being,
if the parties do not agree upon a different
arbitrator. . _ . -
These and many other instances cited
are deemed ample answer to the objection
that arbitration is not a practical measure
for the settlement of international dis-
| putos. The obligation is reciprocal, in
flicting wrong on nobody. It Is the only
Specie increase.

about the same. On tho Wall Hill Valley
railroad near Wall Hill village, the snow
is piled up in cuts to a depth of fifteen
feet. The last passenger train to get to
that village arrived thero Thursday even
