BLAINE SOUNDED BY BEN.
A MEMBER OF TEE CABINET ACTS
AS AN EMISSARY.
The President 'Will Step Aside If Bis
Secretary Wants to Hun—The De
cision as to Which shall be the Can
didate Left With Blaine—Blaine’s
Silence Endangering the Party’s
Success.
Washington, Nov. 30.— President Har.
risen expect* Secretary Blaiue to declare
bis intentions respecting the presidential
nomination this week. He hae made no
formal demand upon Secretary Blaine for
this declaration, indeed it cannot be learned
that he has personally broached the sub
ject to Secretary Blaine, but it is under
stood that a member of the cabinet, who
enjoys friendly relations with Secretary
Blaine as well as with President Harrison,
did at the President's suggestion place be
fore Secretary Blaiue, as discreetly and
delicately as p is-dbls last weed, the situa
ti nof the Republican party and the duly
of fie hiur as President Harrison oon>
ceives it.
DANGER OF FACTIONALISM.
He stated to Secretary Blaine that unless
Secretary Blaine or President Harrison
sp< edily withdrew his name from the con
sideration of the party in connection with
the nomination to be made at Ml meapolisia
June there was a probability that the party
might get into suoh a factional condition
that neither Secretary Blaine nor President
liarrison, nor any other republican, would
be able to carry the election next fall. He
pointed out to Secretary Blaine that the
activity of his friends, not only as exhibited
at the meeting of the national committee,
but as exhibited in the organiza
tion of Blaine clubs in Kansas,
Nebraska, Minnesota, lowa, and other
states, but especially in Indiana, would in
evitably tend to divide the Republican
party into two factions, one of which would
be so disappointed if Secretary Blaine was
or was not nominated that it would not
give the candidate of the party, whoever he
might be, the cordial support necessary to
elect him. The President’s representative
was careful not to oifend Sect etary Blaine
by repeating any of the Presdent’s talk
ab ut the disloyalty or treachery of allow
ing this to go on. On the contrary, he
plainly intimated that it was not only
Secretary Blaine’s right to run
for President but that it was for
him to say whether he or President
Harrison should be nominated in June.
Indeed, his mission was, be said, to ask
practically for a decision of that question,
if Secretary Biaine would accept the nomi
nation President Harrison would with
draw from the race. If Secretary Blaine
would not accept the nomination would he
not say s t in the interest of party suocess
next fall!
BLAINE AVOIDS COMMITTING HIMSELF.
He discharge'! his embarrassing duty so
well, according to his report, that fieoretary
lilaiue took n r > offense, but without com
mitting himself promised to consider the
matter and decide vory soon what he
would do. The next day he went to
Philadelphia and arranged with his phy
sician for the publication of the interview
which appeared this morning, giving an en
tire certificate of health. The Harrisonians
say Secretary Blaine will withdraw either
because he does not think any republican
can ho elected next year, or because he does
not think his health can stand the strain of
the campaign,and that this authorized Inter
view with his physician is just to show that
he does not withdraw on account of his
health, or for any other reason than the
proniot.on of party success and because he
prefers the state portfolio to the President’s
chair.
Secretary Blaine’s friends, on the other
hand, repel this idea with some warmth.
They say the interviow with Dr. Taylor,
which they also recoguize as prompted by
Secretary Blame, is a notice to his friends
that he is able, as well as willing, to accept
a nomination. “Well,” said a Harrisonian
near to the President, after talking it all
over to-night, •‘Secretary Blaine will have
to decline or resign,” which seems to fore
shadow the President's next move if Secre
tary Blaine does nothing.

Denver, Col., Nov. 30.—Tom McCoy,
Prank and John Price, “Peg Leg” Eldridge,
Will Perry and Jim Curtis, the gang that
held up the Rio Grande express train near
Texas creek two months ago, never stood a
better chance of going to the penitentiary
f t life than they do to-night. The men
were captured one at a time, and were “dead
game,” refusing to give-up a single word of
information although put to torture in a
sweat box more than once. When Perry,
thß last one taken, was brought in, he
weakened and told the officers everything,
going Into the details about the robbery and
how the gang, being hard pressed by United
btates marshals, had planted the booty at
the head of Brush creek. Saturday night
bupt. Kiamer of the Rio Grande and a
party of officers started for the place where
the valuables were said to have been
planted and to-night returned, having
found them exactly as Perry said. The
Money and plunder was worth $6,000, and
the evidence is sufficient to convict tho en

He Pleads Not Quilty to Judge Bar

New York, Nov. 30.—A Backer, the |
dealer in commercial paper who is under
Indictment charged with grand larceny In
the first degree, was arraigned before Re
corder Smyth in the general sessions to-day
and pleaded not guilty. HU bondsman,
Prank Rothschild, who bad justified in
115,000 for his appearanoe, surrendered Mr.
Backer and the latter was taken into j
custody. Subsequently, Mr. Back- !
er’s bail was reduced to $13,000 ;
and Col. Stone, president of the Central
National Bank, deposited with the city
chamberlain a certified oheck for that
amount, thus securing Mr. Backer's release.
The accused was arrested on complaint of
Judge William D. Harden of Savannah,
Ga., who sent a note for SIO,OOO, which was
negotiated, but from which Judge Harden
received no return. There are a large num
ber of similar complaints against Mr.
Backer.
TENNESSEE’S CONVICT3.
Gov. Buchanan Determines to Return
Them to the Camps.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 30. —“The con
victs shall be returned to the mines if it
takes every able-bodied man in the state to
do it,” said Gov. Buchanan last night.
“When will they be returned, gov
ernor f’ be was asked.
“That I do not know yet.”
“Willyou send a military guard with
them?’
“I cannot tell you that. I can simply say
that the convicts shall be returned to the
mines if it takes every able-bodied man in
the state to do it. Is not that enough!”
Although the governor was reticent, from
other sources information was gathered
concerning the matter. The lessees have
made a demand upon the state for the oon
viots. This demand was answered promptly
that when the convicts had beeu captured
the v would be returned if supplied with a
sufficient guard and proper quarters,
will be built at onoe. This will take about
two weeks.
THE QUESTION- OF A GUARD.
The question of tha guard required not a
little consideration. It comes pretty straight
that the present intention is to provide
about 600 men each for Brioevilie and Coal
Creek, dnd 100 men for Oliver Springs. AH
these will be in the pay of the lessees.
Twenty-five at eachpiace.it is thought,
will be the militia men deputized to do
guard duty. In regard to this last feature,
Gov. Buchanan wired Geu. Carnes of Mem
phis, brigadier general of the Tennessee
militia, to come to Nashville. The two
were in oonsultation all the afternoon. A
veil of secrecy was thrown around the re
sult readied, but it may be taken as reliable
that the plans given above were not
changed. The guard will not be from the
existing companies of the state. The men
will be enlisted for the purpose. About 300
of the 462 released conyiots have been re
captured.

ALL THE RIVALS ON HAND
THE aPEAKEhSHIP.FIGHT NOW IN
POLL BLAST.
Crisp and Mills Both Talk of Election
on the First or Second Ballot—Every
New Arrival Besieged by the Work
ers of the Various Candidates.
Washington, Nov. 30.—Judge Holman,
chairman of the demooratio caucus, who
was to be here to-night, telegraphs that his
wife is ill, so that be cannot be here before
Wedneeday. Until be arrives, unless hede
fers his coming tiU the end of the week, it
will not be known when the caucus will be
held. It will probably be on Saturday,
however, and probably in the afternoon.
All day and all the evening members
elect have been arriving, so that now there
are probably over 100 democratic repre
sentatives in town.
going the rounds.
After they arrived most of the new mem
bers went as soon as possible tbe rounds of
the headquarters, although one at least,
Mr. Grady of North Carolina, who had
never been here before, went at once to the
capitol to see whether it looked like its
picture. During the day time, and even in
tbe evenlug, missionaries from the different
speakership headquarters dropped into tho
railway stations about train time to meet
friends of theirs who were likely
to arrive and present the arguments for
their particular candidate*. Others went
to ttie hotels or boarding places searching
for friends and acquaintances who would
have votes in the caucus. There was ma
terial enough to work on, and the workers
were kept busy all the time.
at the headquarters.
At the headquarters tho candidates were
kept busy shaking hands and carrying on
conferences in their consultation corners.
Mr. Hatch, who came in in the afternoon
with his boomers, established bis headquar
ters in Willards’, not far from Mr. Mills’, at
once, and by evening it was as crowded a9
any of the rest. Of the 125 democratic
inembers-elect in town to-night per
haps one-fifth are uncommitted. Of
the rest Mr. Mills has probably
40, Mr. Crisp 26 and the others were di
vided between Messrs. MoMillin, Springer
and Hatch, who have more of their strength
here than either of the leading candidates.
The three other candidates are not expected
to have more than 60 votes between them
on the first ballot. Most of the workers
for all the candidates are here. The men
who aro to come are either doubtful or those
who have determined for some candidate
without working for him.
delegation meetings.
Delegation meetings will be held from to
morrow, when the Pennsylvania delegation
meets especially to vote to present Mr. Kerr
for clerk, but incidentally to talk over the
speakership candidate. On Wednesday
evening the Now England delegation meets,
and on Thursday New York. If these three
delegations should all decide to vote for one
man for speaker he would be elected. There
Is no expectation now of this and so tho
claimants for the candidates ore olaimlng as
many votes as they choose. For example,
a Cri-p New Yorker claimed to-night all of
the twenty-three New York votes except
eight, which he conceded to Mr. Mills and
one to Mr, MoMillin. Of course Mr. Mills
laughed at that claim.
A LIVELY FIGHT.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. SO.—With the be
ginning of the last week before the congress,
representatives ars flocking to Washington
in increasing numbers and their preseuoe is
giving renewed interest to the speakership
contest. The situation is now beginning to
assume clearer outlines and interesting de
velopments may result any day between
this and Saturday from tbo consultations
which are taking place. All five of the
avowed candidates are now in Washing
ton, Representative Hatch of Missouri and
his principal workers having arrived to-day
and taken headquarters at Willards’ hotel.
The expressed views and desires of the can
didates show plainly one unmistakuble fact
in the contest, namely, that no candidate
at present has a sufficient number of abso
lutely pledged votes to make his election
certain.
crisp and mills sanguine.
Representatives Crisp aud Mills are each
very sanguine of winning and each ex
presses a belief that the contest will be
short, sharp and decisive. Their aim is to
bring about the withdrawal of some of the
other aspirants for the speakership, and
with the votes thereby to be gained each
hopes to win on the second, indeed, if noton
the first ballot. Representatives Springer,
MoMillin and Hatoh express themselves as
of the opinion that the fight in cauous will
be of considerable duration. Each of these
gentlemen says he is in the fight to the end
and each sees in a prolonged fight a chance
of victory
crisp’s calculations.
Friends of Representative Crisp said to
day that after eliminating uncertain votes,
they figured 93 votes on which they could
count. This list, they said, did not Include
a largo vote they expected in case any of
the other candidates should withdraw, nor
some 25 or 30 votes which they classed as
“unknown." They say Representative Crisp
is the seoond choice of more congressmen
than any other candidate. They expect at
least 100 votes on the first ballot
and probably Representative Crisp’s elec
tion by or before the second ballot. Rep
resentative Catcbings, one of Representa
tive Crisp’s prinoipal lieutenants, said they
had transferred eight votes yesterday from
the doubtful to the oertain list and he was
certain Representative Crisp was well in the
lead. He did not believe it possible for any
combination to be made that would prevent
Representative Crisp’s election.
MILLS SURE HE HAS IT.
Representative Mills was in excellent
spirits and confident of election. “How
many ballots will there be?"
“Only one.”
"And yourself the speaker?”
“Of course.”
This is, in brief, the dialogue between an
Associated Press reporter and Representa
tive Mills to-day.
Representative Mills also said that every
thing was progressing satisfactorily, and
that things were unmistakably shaping
themselves In his favor. Representative
Mills had quite a long consul
tation with Senator Sherman and
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
to-dav, and the New England delegation is
confidently looked to swell Representative
Mills’ vote. Representative Mills bos a
number of "young men" on bis side and
they are working industriously. Repre
sentative M>Ds himself would not say any
thing about his strength iD figures, but
there can be do doubt of bis confidence. He
did not think it best to make any claims.
springer’s skirmish.
Representative Springer had quite an
array of friends at his headquarters, ami
others are expected from Illinois to aid
him. Mr. Davis, one of his worker®, said
their pretence was to show that Representa
tive Springer stood as a representative
democrat of the growing northwest, and
that he was strong not alone (n bis district,
but throughout that section, Mr. Davis
said that Messrs. Mills and
Crisp claim so many votes
that it leave* nothing for Mr. Springer, but
that nevertheless, Mr. Springer’* friend* ex
pect all tbe democratic vot> a of Illinois and
nearly all those of Miobigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and lowa, besides others from
Indiana and elsewhere. Mr. Davis thought
the fight would iast sometime iu the caucus
and that Mr. Springer, start) .g with a good
vote, would gain as the fight progressed.
TENNESSEE’S CANDIDATE.
This is very nearly tbe lame way McMil
lin views the canvass. Tennessee’s candi
date also looks for a good stubborn contest,
and in such a fight he believes that he has
a very good show. He said the claims of
about 100 votes each for Messrs. Mills and
Crisp were flamboyant, but he thought this
natural and he had only good words for
them. He gained another working sup
porter to-day in the arrival of Kepresela
tive Htookdale of Mississippi. Mr. McMil
lin said that besides Tennessee a solid vote
he expected to get a good part of the votes
of Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi aid
West Virginia, with votes from Virginia
and scattering votes from other states.
representative hatch's akrival.
liepreaentative Hatoh and party did not
arrive until lute this afterpouu.ua the train
on wtiioh they traveled was detained by a
wreck. The following eitlzei.a of Missouri
are here giving Mr. Hatch their assistance:
John A. Knott, CoL Cornelius Voorhis,
George A. Mahau. R. M. Wallace, John H.
Carroll, Col. Chris EUerslie, Griff I’rather,
Alonzo Church and ex-Gov. Brockmeyer.
Gov. Francis and a large delegation from
Missouri are expected here Wednesday to
aid Mr. Hatch. Mr. Hatch stated to an
Associated Press reporter this evening that
he was in tho race for the speakership in
good faith, not for personal ambition, but
us the representative of bis state and with
the solid indorsement of the Demooratio
party there. He had no idea of retiring
from the race until the last ballot was
taken. He would say in the sirongest way
that he had not been' nor did he expect to
be, in any combinations affecting
any of the other offices of the
House. He was simply making a dignified
canvass for the apennership and based his
hope of success on tbe wisdom and sound
Judgment of the democratic members of
the caucus. He did not expect to win at
the start but at the finish.
CROWDS AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
The headquarters of the various candi
dates were oro wded with their friends until a
late hour in the evening. There were no new
developments, however, so far as is known,
and the battle is Btiil between the
five avowed candidates. There is as
yet no talk of any withdrawals
from the race. Eich candidate,
according to the statements of his friends, is
in the contest to stay to the end. There was
some little talk to-uight, but very little iu
deed, of a possible dark horse in the event
of a protracted struggle.
At Mr. Crisp’s headquarters his friends
said they had received assurances from sev
eral new arrivals that they would vote for
their candidate. This, they say, is a ma
terial gain for Mr. Crisp since yesterday.
Mr. Mills received a telegram to-day from
Representative Caminottiof California say
ing that his vote will be cast for Mr. Mills.
It is expected that about 230 democrats
will go into the cauous Saturday. The
candidates themselves are not expected to.
vote, which will reduce the number actually
participating in tho ballots to 325. One
hundred and thirteen votes will therefore
be necessary to seonre the nomination.
MINOR HOUSE OFFICE 3.
The Canvass for clerk, Doorkeeper
and Sergeant-at-Arms.
Washington, Nov. 30.—The candidates
for clerk, doorkeeper, sergeant-at-arms and
postmaster are working just as hard to get
votes as the candidates for speaker, and
they are a good deal more active in the can
vass. Every democratic member-elect is
pretty certain to be asked many times for
his vote by these applicants for minor
places. It is not strange that members
eleot not personally interested in the speak
ership candidates delay coming here
to be the victims of these good
natured but persistent solicitors, who,
except Mr. Kerr, who keeps to
his headquarters, range around the hotels
and boardnig-hou-es seeking their prey.
Tho postmaster of the House is kept busy
telling the candidates for these places and
the speakership missionaries what members
have arrived and where they are stopping.
At this writiug Mr. Kerr is still ahead for
clerk and Mr. \ Oder for sergeant-at-arms,
while tho other places are anybody’s prize.
It seems pretty certain, though, that all
four offices will be giveu to northern men.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS.
All the 416 J Turned la Except

Washington, Nov. 30. —The total
amount of 4j>6 per cent, bonds redeemed to
date Is $21,830,450, leaving outstanding
$3,674,250. The redemption of these bonds
has resulted in a decrease of nearly $1,000,-
000 In the bonded debt since Nov. 1. Dur
ing tbe same period there has been an in
crease of nearly $3,000,000 in the treasury
in the cash available for redemption of
debt.
MISSION OF THE NEGRO.
The Governor of Texas Says It Is to
Redeem Africa.
Aubtin, Tex, Nov. 30.—Bishop Grant
and a delegation of colored ministers who
have been attending the conference here,
called on the governor to-day in reference
to the working of the separate coach la w.
Addressing a Pennsylvania preacher, the
governor said: “When you go back
nortb tell your people that the
people of Massachusetts first brought
African slaves to America.” Slavery
was a godsend and emancipation a god
send, beoause,as tbe governor believed,these
two causes would eventually result in the
enlightenment of Africa, which could bo
done by tho negro himself bettor than the
white man. He counseled thecolored race
of the south to send all of its surplus edu
cated young men to the dark continent. He
said that ho believed that was the great
historical mission of the southorn negro. (
The committee oalled on the railroad com
missioner and complained that some of the
roads were not carrying out the separate
coach law, and the colored people were not
given first-class accommodations nor per
mitted to ride in sleepers. Chairman Rea
gan promised to investigate the first com
plaint, but stated that the law was silent as
to sleeping coaches.
FATAL ABERRATION.
A Section Boss Kills His Friend and
Then Commits Suicide.
McMinnville, Ore., Nov. 30.—J. H.
Stein, editor of tbe Whitson Advance, was
shot and killed last night by C. C. Cook, a
railroad section boss. Cook then blew his
own brains out. Tho men were friends and
were walkiug along the road together when
Cook suddenly drew his revolver and shot
Bteia in the back of the neck. Cook has
been acting strangely of late and It Is sup
posed that he was seized with a fit of mental
aberration. Both men were members of

CHINA’S ARMYOF REBELS
FEARS THAT THE WHOLE COUN
TRY WILL SIDS WITH THEM.
The Government to Make a Desperate
Effort to Keep the Advancing Horde
Out of Pekin—Once They Eater That
City All Will Be Loat—The Massacre
of the Christians Cost at Least 300
Lives.
Pkkin, Nov. 30. —The government is fully
aware of the serious condition which con
fronts it and overy possible step is being
taken to break the strength of the rebels
before they get within striking distance of
the capital. There is much excitement here
among all classes of the population, and the
authorities believe if they can inflict
defeat upon the rebel forcee
it will have a good effect
upon the people of Pekin and its vicinity.
It is believed that many of the people are
secretly in favor of the rebels, but should
the Imperial forcee do battle with the insur
gents and defeat them the malcontents
would then side with the government. No
doubt Is entertained that the situation is
extremely dangerous, and should the rebel
forces continue to advance toward
ttie capital, in spite of the
efforts of the imperial troopa
to prevent them, it is feared by the foreign
ers that the whole oountry will rise and aid
the invaders. It was announoed to-day
that besides the towns in Mauchuria that
have already fallen into their bands, a
small to vn northeast of Kin Chow has been
captured by them. The garrison of
Sbankatkivan has been sent to suppress
other insurrectionary bodies which are
marching in various direotions through the
country, evidently with the intention of
joining the main body.
AIDED by the people.
As stated in the previous dispatches, the
inhabitants of tho district through whtoh
tho rebels pass make no resistance to them.
On the contrary, they furnish the soldiery
with provisions aud have in other ways
aided them. *
A most serious condition of affairs exists
at Takou. This is the place where the most
brutal outrages were oommitted upon the
Christian priests, nuns and native converts.
What aotion the government will take iu
this matter it is hard to say. That tbe au
thorities are In full sympathy with tbo per
petrators of these most horrible crimes
there is no reason to doubt. The first report
from Takou stated that after those fiends
had worked their bloody will ou all the
Christian men, women and children who
fell into their hands thoy wore feasted by
the leading Chinese mandarins In the dis
trict.
300 MASSACRED.
It is now said that the local mandarins
agreed to allow tho rebels free license for
the outrage of Christians, provided they
did no harm to tbe other inhabitants. Theso
terms were accepted by the rebels aud they
pursued their work without let or hindrance.
Three hundred Europeans and native Chris
tians were massacred. It is believed that
not a single Christian in the district
escaped. Consternation prevails among
the i’roteetant missionaries in the districts
through which it Is expected that the rebels
will pass. The local officials at Tsunba
have declared that they are powerless to
pro'act the missionaries, and that if they

RUSSIA’S HORSES.
Tha Prohibition on Exportation Hard
on Germany.
Berlin, Nov. 30.—The Vossische Zei
tung, commenting on tte coming Russian
prohibition of the exportation of horses,
says: “The measure Is one that has never
been resorted to by Germany except when
fearing war. The prohibition will be se
verely felt in Germany, which has been ac
customed to import 20,000 horses annually
from Russia alone.”
OBJECTS OF THE DECREE.
Baris, Deo. 1, 8 a. m.—Tho Times cor
respondent at St. Petersburg explains that
the prohibition of the exportation of horses,
if decreed, will be due to the fact that
swarms of Austrian and Gorman agent* are
takiug advantage of the famine to buy
horses in all tbe frontier provinces tor next
to nothing to send abroad. It is reported
that two Russian army corps have boeu
ordered from the famine districts to the
Baitio provinces.

BALFOUR ON TBE 6TUMP.
Ireland as an Electoral Cry Declared
Played Out.
London, Nov. 30.—Mr. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury, delivered a political
address at Huddersfield to day. In the
course of his remarks be said that Ireland,
as an electoral cry, was played out. The
liberal leaders appeared to be in doubt
whether to play on the home rule
or the agricultural vote. Mr. Glad
stone took one side aud Sir William Vernon
Harcourt the other. This was a judicious
arrangement, being planned so that, what
ever turned up the winning card they
could carry the game between them.
The question presented by the
condition of the agncultuia' laborer in
Great Britain deserved belter treatment
than to be bandied about between wire pull
ers. The question. in fact, was One of su*
preme, absorbing interest, and the union
ists could c’aim that they had shown
a willingness to treat it in a
broad, liberal spirit The liberals
bad promised to deal with the question of
village councils, but this was but a clumsy
method of putting a coping stone on local
self-government. It was not likely that
village oouucils would materially alter the
condition of the laborer.
A SHALL HOLDINGS BILL
After announcing that Mr. Chaplin,
president of the board of agriculture, would
at an early day introduoo a small holdings
bill, Mr. Balfour pointed out that some dif
ficulty would arise from the vital difference
between the conditions in Ireland aud the
conditions in England. In the former
country,he said, small holdings wore already
in existence, while in the latter they
had to deal everywhere with large estates,
and with buildings which would become
worthless by conversion into allotments.
Ho sympathised with the desire to re estab
lish the yeomanry in England, but small
proprietors ought to consider the difficulties
th y would encounter from a laok of capi
tal, machinery, etc.
CO-OPKRATIVB FARMING,
lie suggested co-operative farming as a
possible remody. but he frankly admitted
that no hope of this could be realised in the
immediate future. Htlil, it was an ideal to
be sought after. He rather doubted the
success of the espousal by tho liberals of the
agricultural question. Their heads, he said,
had been turned by the olootion successes.
Mr. Morley had os little resemblance to the
prophet Daniel ns Lord Salisbury bad to
Belshazzar. If the coming six years were
ns fruitful in surprises as the last six had
been. Mr. Morley would probably conclude
that ho might And a more profitable occupa
tion than that of prophesying.
SAND MIXED WITH RYE.
Zemstvo Agents Cause a Howl Among
the Russians.
Odessa, Nov. 30. —An outory has been
raised that Zemstvo agents are paying
fancy prices for rye that is so adulterated
with sand and other materials that it is un
fit to eat, and also that they are buying
wheat at prices above the market rate. It
is feared that the outcry will put a stop to
the contributions of people oharioably in
clined.
NO CHANGE IN THE FAMINE.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 30. —A decree has
been issued announcing that the export of
pulse and of oil seeds is not prohibited.
Though there is at present no change in
the condition of affairs in the famine
stricken districts, the government is doing
everything in its power to relieve the dis
tress. It is reported that the authorities
have decided to buy all the grain now in tbe
hands of private persons in some of the dis
tressed districts and then to give to every
body sufficient grain to support lifei
A PRICE FIXED.
The sale of gralu, it ia said, will be com
pulsory at prices which ruled on the days
the prohibitory decrees were issued.
The Nora; Vrctnya says that in order to
prevent the railways from being blocked
with grain in transit from tha Caucasus,
grain destined for tho famino-stricken waat
ern provinoes can be shipped to Novores
sisk, on tbo oast coast of the Black sea, and
that it will be couveyed thence to Odessa
free of charge.
IN A CYCLONE AT SEA.
Tha Captain of a Schooner Washed
Overboard and Lost.
London, Nov. 30. —The mate of the
schooner D. H. Rivers, at Liverpool from
St. Simon’s,says that a cyclone, encountered
by tbe vessel on the voyage, was the worst
he had ever experienced. The captain was
washed overboard and it wa~ impossible to
make the slightest effort to save him. Tbe
huge waves opened the deck seams and
wrecked everything portable. The maln
booni was broken, a lifeboat was destroyed
and nearly all the provisions spoiled.
Tho mate and the seamen who
wore steering were knocked flat on the deck
by a heavy sea and had a narrow escape
from being beaten to death by loose wreck
age. The arew worked waist high in water
at tbe pumps. They oontinued at their
work four days and nights until they be
came exhausted. About the same time ooal
and water became scarce. Fortunately the
weather then moderated.
FRANCE AND THE fIISHOPB.
The Government’s Course Believed to
Be & Mistake.
Paris, Nov. 30.—1 tis believed in many
quarters that the prosecution of tbe arch
bishop of Atx was a false step on the part of
tbe government, and that by taking this
oourse tho government, to be consistent,
will be compelled to inaugurate a series of
prosecutions, tnat, to say tbe least, will not
tend to soothe tbe feeling of irritation in
church circles growing out of the condemna
tion of the archbishop of Aix The Oauloit
to-day says that tho minister of foreign
affairs, Mr. Ribot, in an interview with
Mgr. Ferritt, the papal nunoio at| Paris,
intimated that unless the Vatican advised
moderation on the part of certain Frenoh
bishops the government would feel Inclined
to cease opposing the separation of ohuroh
and state.

JUBILEE OF THE BISHOP:
SI. LOUIS OUTDOB.I HERSELF IN
THE CELE3RATION.
Tb romp and Splendor of tha Cere
mony Probably Never Excelled oa
Tbla Side of the Atlantic-Cardinal
Gibbons and a Brilliant G altering of
Noted Churchmen Participate.
Bt. Louis, Mo., Nov. 3a— Not. 30, 1841,
just fifty years ago, Peter Richardson Ken
rick was consecrated bishop of the Roman
Catholic church. To-day, the 50th anni
versary of his oonsecration, his golden
jubilee was celebrated with a pomp and
glorification that hae never before been wit*
nessed. exoeptlng ou the occasion of the
golden jubilee of Loo XIII. The celebra
tion was made grand for tbe reason that
Archbishop Kenrick is among the foremost
men in the churob. because of bis greet
work for the church; because of
bis sterling qualities and purity
of oharacter; because of bit
deep piety aDd great learning, and beoausa
be has at all times been a fr.ouJ of tbe poor
and oppressed. He is universally beloved,
and especially by tbe oitizens of St. Louis,
to very many of whom he has not only ad
ministered religious consolation, but on
various occasions extended much needed
financial aid.
AS A BUSINESS MAN.
Asa business tnan he was recognized tn
be the peer of any. The financial affairs of,
the arendtooeso have been so well managed
that never have private or individual con
tributions been solicited for the support of
any churon, institution of leorni .g or of
relief. Boboois, convents, hospitals and tha
home of the Roman church lu Bt. Louis
have all beeu erected and operated with tha
greatest success through Ills efforts.
Only once before has the golden jubilee
of a bishop beeu celebrated, that of John
Me Hale, archbishop of Tuam, Ireland,
eleven years ago.
DON’T BELIEVE IN INFAI.I,ABILITY.
It is an event so rare that tbe whole
world is interested in it, and in this case not
simply beoauto suoh celebrations are infre
auent, but because Archbishop Kenrick has
lied the<e fifty years with usefulness and
good, and were it not for tbe fact that on a
notable occasion he incurred t ie displeasure
of the holy see by declar
ing boldly his unbelief in
tho infallibility of the pope, ho would now
be a prince of the church, it is related in
connection with the above that had he not
virtually defied the head of tbe Roman
church he wuuld have beeu created a car
dinal long before this.
A grand pontifical mats commemorative
of the occasion began at 9 o’olook in tha
historic old oatbedral on Walnut street.
It was tbe most impressive cere
mony ever seen Jn a Catholio
church in this city, leading representatives
of the Roman Catholio hoirarchy of the
United States officiating.

An hour before the grand ceremony took
place the venerable archbishop said mas*

of this province. Preceding the mass there

hud vested himself in bis raiments he pro
ceeded to the foot of the altar, meanwhilo
blessing the clergy aud people. He than said
the “Introlt" anil Incensed tbe altar, after
which he passed between the tleacous to hie

The decorations of the ohurch were in
keeping with the oooasion. Tbe sanctuary
was almost filled with rare plants, smilaxf
illuminated globes and rich odors. Large
banners were suspended from the tall cell
ing and the pilasters and columns were
fairly covered with bunting. The two
thronos to tbe epistle and gospel sides of the
altar were decorated with oolors appro
priate to tbe dignitaries who occupied them.
The cardinal's throne on the epistle side was
decorated In red and archbishop's in purple
and other shades suitable to ids rank aud
the occasion of the celebration. Banner
ettes with inscriptions aud illustrations
were suspended between the columns. A
pretty feature of the decorations were Latia
