The oft recurring rumor of the immi
nence of the necessity for the pope to fly
from Home because of threatening politi
cal conditions has been revived in a cable
to the New York iierald. The story goes
that the pope has sent notes communi
cating the perils of the situation to his
Duncios and advising them that he may
remove his residence aud the seat of
church government from Italian soil.
Spa>n is mentioned as the country in which
the pope may find asylum.
The popular lady known to theater
goers as Miss Lillian Russell has added
two names to the long string of distinc
tive titles by which she has been and
may be known. She was married on
Sunday to John Chatterton, whose stage
name is Signor Perugini. The bride was
born Leonard and named Helen. When
she went on the stage she took the name of
Lillian Russell. She married an orches
tra leader and became Mrs. Braham.
After Braham secured a divorce from her.
she married a composer and became Mrs.
‘•Teddy" Solomon. She got the divorce
this time, and has now became
both Mrs, Chatterton and Signora
Perugini, To bunch her names
she is now Mrs. Helen-Lillian
Leonard-Russell—Braham-Soiomon-Peru
gini-Chatterton. Andsheisyeta young

At the time of the formation of the
present ministry of France it was said to
be the purpose of President Carnot to get
Casimir-Perier at the head of a cabinet
for the purpose of killing him off as a
presidential candidate. Carnot wished to
succeed himself; Casimir-Perier was
strong with the people, and stood in a po
sition to secure the presidency if ho
wished it, provided he avoided entangling
alliances. The situation then gave little
hope that any cabinet that could be
formed would, prove stablo. No premier
of a cabinet that has como to grief is ever
nominated for the presidency of France.
If Casimir-Perier could be induced to
form a ministry which would soon go to
pieces, he would thereby be removed from
the list of presidential possibilities. Af
ter considerable persuasion and several
declinations. President Carnot finally pre
vailed upon his rival to form a ministry. He
did so, with a result that was somewhat
unexpected; the ministry seemed able to
command confidence, and it appeared that,
instead of committing political suicide the
new premier was laying stepping-stones to
the presidential chair. However, differ
ences have cropped out in the cabinet and
it may result, after all, that the intentions
accredited to the president will work out
according to programme.
The Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, the
eloquent and eminent preacher who has
been the pastor of the Brooklyn Taber
nacle for nearly twenty-five years, an
nounced at the close of his sermon on
Sunday night that he would resign the
pastorate during the coming spring.
During Dr. Talmage's pastorate he lias
been called upon to build three great
churches, two of which were destroyed
by fire. The building of the tabernacle
as it now stands sank the church corpora
tion into debt to the extent of more than
WOO,OOO. Of this amount Russell Sage is
a creditor for t’.iio.OOO, and for that
sum holds a mortgage on the church
property. Interest amounting to. *15,000
is overdue on Mr. Sage’s mortgage, aud
he is beginning to get importunate in his
demands for money. Dr. Talmage has
made every effort to discharge the debt,
even giving up his salary for two years,
but his efforts have been unavailing.
Now he has grown weary of the load, and
proposes to lay it down. lir. Talmage
probably preaches week after week to
greater congregations than any other min
ister living. Those who sit under the
sound of his voice constitute but a small
portion of his congregation; his sermons
are published throughout the length and
breadth of the land in the newspaper
press, and thus his sermons reach tens of
thousands of persons every week, liis
resignation from the Brooklyn Tabernacle
will not take him out of tlie ministry.
He will continue to preach from pulpit
and through press as long as he lives, he
*ays. It was reported sonie time ago that
a Chicago church had issued a call to
bun, and that the call, if accepted, car
ried witn it a salary of *30,000 a year.
The Bond Issue.
The question whether or not the Secre
tary of the Treasury has the right to issue
bonds does not check the bidding for
them. Already bids for more than the
amount of the proposed issue have been
1 received, and it is thought that bids ag
-1 gregating $200,000,001) will be made. Asa
matter of fact, nobody doubts that the
oonds would be paid promptly even if
there should be a decision of the courts to
the effect that the secretary exceeded
this authority in issuing them. A refusal
to pay them would injure the credit of
the government, and that congress would
never permit.
The necessity for the bond issue is gen
erally recognized. The money will igot be
wasted. It is needed to protect the credit
of the government. Those who are pro
posing to question in the courts the secre
tary's authority cannot possibly know as
much about the condition of the treasury
and the necessity for issuing bonds as the
secretary does, nor are they as well
posted in respect to the authority by
which he proposes to issue them as he is.
The Knights of T,abor in their applica
tion for an injunction to restrain the se
cretary from issuing bonds will have to
show that there are no conditions which
justify the issuing of them. It is doubtful
if they can do so. The secretary says such
conditions do exist, and as he has given
the matter much serious thought, he will
no doubt be able to show that they do
should he be required to do so.
A question of more importance is
whether he has authority to use the gold
he will receive for the bonds in paying
the current expenses of the government.
It is contended with a good deal of force
that he has not —that he can use it only
for the redemption of greenbacks. His
purpose is to use it to strengthen the gold
reserve, which is now iihpaired to the ex
tent of more than $.‘10,000,000, but he in
tends, no doubt, to draw upon the gold re
serve if it becomes necessary to do so.
He has been drawing upon that reserve
for several months, and he will continue
to do so, in all probability, until the reve
nues are sufficient to meet the govern
ment's expenses.
The secretary is not waiting for the
questions that have been raised in connec
tion with the bond issue to be settled before
preparing the bonds. He is satisfied that
tbe course he is pursuing is the right one,
and that it cannot be successfully at
tacked. The plates for the bonds are
being engraved, and the bonds will be
ready for subscribers for them within two
weeks. There is not much time, there
fore, for the opponents of a bond issue to
test the soundness of the reasons upon
which they base their opposition.
A Source of Discontent.
Several times recently the democratic
senators have attacked the civil service
law. Last Monday two or three demo
cratic senators spoke against it. Their
opposition to it grows out of the fact that
the great majority of employes of the
government who are protected by it are
republicans. Their view is that the law
has been used to accomplish partisan
ends, and that is some ground for think
ing they are right.
During Mr. Cleveland's first term he
administered the law faithfully, and he
is endeavoring to comply strictly with its
previsions now. He believes in it, and
would like to see it administered fairly.
Republican administrations have not
been so conscientious in discharging their
duty under it. That is why there are so
many more republican employes of the
government, than there are democratic
ones. It is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that democratic senators are finding
fault with the civil service law.
The law is all right, but the adminis
tration of it has not been. It was de
manded by public sentiment, and that
sentiment is as strong to-day as it ever
was. There is no probability that the
law will be repealed as long as it is hon
estly administered. If, however, it be
comes evident that it is not being so ad
ministered, the clamor against it will be
too strong to be resisted.
There ought to be a change made in the
law so that the government places would
be ovenl.v divided between democrats and
republicans. If that were done the oppo
sition to the law would cease. It is cer
tainly unjust that the majority of the
better offices as well as nearly all the
minor ones should be filled by republi
cans under a democratic administration.
The democrats should have their share of
them.
Unless there is a pretty even division of
the government places between the two
groat parties a strong effort will be made
to repeal the civil service law. Injustice
is always resisted in whatever phase it
presents itself, and the permitting of re
publicans to have the lion's share of the
offices is certain to be provocative of hos
tility to that law.
An interesting legal fight is going on in
a Pennsylvania court—interesting not so
much on account of the people or the
money involved as because the suit turns
on the.meaning of the word "between.”
The will of a Mrs. Ihric directed that the
residue of her estate should be “divided
between the grand-children of my hus
band and the children of F. R. Poree.”
Therearefifteen of the grand-children 'and
four of the Poree children. The grand
children contend that the will directs
that the residue of tho estate be divided
among all the heirs named, share and
share aliko. The Poree children hold
that the will says the estate shall be di
vided in half, and the halves apportioned
between the two sets of heirs. On the
side of the grandchildren it is argued that
in common usage "between” isapplied with
relation to any number; on the other
side it is argued that "between” can be
applied only with relation to two; that
when the will names two sets of heirs
and says'the estate shall tie divided “be
| tween” those heirs, it means it shall be
I divided into two equal parts, one halt to
j be set apart to each set of heirs before
the individual apportionment is made.
' The estate amounts to about $50,000. If
"between” means what the Poree chil
dren say it does, they will get some $5,000
each; if it means what the grandchildren
say it docs, the Porees will get about
$1,200 each. The incident-pointedly illus
trates the value of even the commonest
words.
On Monday strawberries were quoted
. in New York at $1.50 per dozen, with no
: offerings. The reason, however, was
j that there were no berries to offer. The
truck farmer who can get a supply of
I strawberries into the New York market
I in January has a fortune awaiting him.
THE MORNING NEWS; WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1804.
A Survey of the Harbor.
There is an opportunity to have a sur
vey and anew chart of Savannah harbor
made. The importance of such a chart
cannot be overestimated. A chart is for
the benefit of mariners and is sent by the
government to all parts of the world.
No chart of Savannah harbor has been
made since 18T4, twenty years ago. A
very great change has taken place in the
harbor since that time, and yet mariners
abroad get their impressions of our har
bor from that old chart. No doubt many
of them are still under the impression
that there is not more than fifteen feet of
water in the harbor. That impression
ought to be removed as soon as possible.
It would benefit Savannah greatly to
have it widely known among mariners
that she now lias twenty-two or twenty
three feet of water in her harbor.
A coast survey ship is now at Bruns
wick, making a survey of the harbor of
that port. The work will soon be com
pleted and the ship will be sent elsewhere.
Why should she not be sent to Savannah?
There is nothing in the way of having a
thorough.survey and chart of Savannah
harbor made, if the city authorities and
the trade bodies will request that the
survey be made their request will be
granted. Let the council and the mayor
and the trade bodies advise with Repre
sentative Lester at once in respect to
the matter. He will gladly communicate
their wish to the coast survey bureau and
urge prompt compliance with it.
There ought to be no delay. Whatever
is to be done should be done at once. If
the coast survey ship leaves Brunswick
before the request is made considerable
delay might be experienced in getting her
back on the South Atlantic coast.
The engineer in charge of the harbor
improvement in constantly making sur
veys of the harbor, but the results of
them are not published. They are neces
sary in order to carry on the improve
ment intelligently. A chart made by the
coast survey would show the har
bor channel from the city
to the sea and would be
helpful to the engineer in charge of the
improvement as well as to mariners. It
would sot at rest whatever doubt any one
may have as to whether there is as much
water in the harbor as there is claimed
to be.
That the survey ought to be made
there can be no doubt, and it should be
made without delay. Let the city author
ities and the trade bodies act in respect
to it at once.
The Cost of Protection.
Many times on the floor of congress and
in the public prints the statement has
been made that the protected manufac
turers make the home consumers of their
products pay more for these preducts than
the foreign consumers of the same pro
ducts pay. It is against this abuse of the
protective system that the democrats
make their greatest protest. Why, for
instance, should the American farmer
pay more for a mowing or reaping ma
chine, a plow or hoe, or threshing ma
chine, or any other article manufactured
in this country than the Mexican or South
American farmer pays for a similar arti
cle manufactured in this country?
The manufacturer is protected in this
country, and, hence, can charge for his
products to the full limit of the tariff. He
is not protected in the foreign market.
There lie has competition, and must sell
at a lower price if he sells at all. But he
does sell in the foreign markets, and at a
profit, or he would not seek those markets.
Representative Crain, of Texas, speak
ing of this matter the other day, said:
“When men talk about enabling c r man
ufacturers to compete with foreign man
ufacturers in other countries they ought
not to try to accomplish this result at the
expense of our own people in our home
market. I personally know that under
the tariff legislation of the republicans
American manufactured goods are pur
chasable in Mexico at a much lower rate
than the same quality of manufactures
can be bought in Texas. These goods
compete successfully in Mexico with
goods of foreign manufacture, but com
mand higher prices in tne ‘home market’
of Texas than in the foreign market of
Mexico.”
Speaking of instances of discriminating
in favor of Mexican purchasers, Mr. Crain
said: “It is known that duplicate in
voices, one for Mexico, the other for
Texas, in date of purchase, quality of
goods, etc., differed from 20 to 60 per cent,
in favor of the Mexican purchaser, al
though only the Rio Grande river separa
ted him from his Texas brother-merchant.
Again, I have known men to buy goods,
wares and merchandise for their myth
ical Mexican stores, order them shipped
to said non-existing stores in care of their
Texas stores, get the benefit of the re
duced prices, and stop them in transit,
when they reached the Texas towns
in which they really transacted busi
ness.”
in face of such facts as the foregoing is
it to be wondered at that the people of
the last national election put into power
the party that pledged itsolf to reform
the tariff? Why should our people pay
from 20 to 60 per cent, more for goods
manufactured in their own country than
foreigners pay for them? There is no ex
cuse for such injustice to our own people.
The Republican party insisted upon per
petuating this injustice. It is fighting
for a system that gives the protected
manufacturers the power to rob our peo
ple while selling their preducts to for
eigners at a reasonable profit. It is time
that such robbery was stopped, and the
Democratic party is going to stop it.
Representative Simpson, of Kansas,
authorizes the announcement that he will
be a candidate for re-election to congress.
It was some time ago his purpose to re
tire from office and devote himself to
the propagation of populistio doctrines
and the reorganization of the populist
party throughout the several states. But,
considering the way the cat jumped in
Kansas last fall, Jerry will try to save
his own bacon, and let the party and its
principles take care of themselves. “Jerry
an’t no fool, if he don't wear socks.”
Mine. Kara Bernhardt narrowly es
caped producing a bit of realism that was
not in the plot, during a recent perform
ance in a Paris theater. During one
scene the madame drinks a cup of tea.
Through some blunder the madame’s maid
poured laudanum into the cup—real lauda
num, not stage laudanum—and madame
drank several swallows of the concoction
before discovering something was wrong.
But the discovery was made in time to
save madame more inconvenience than
that caused by a stomach pump.
A report from Omaha, Neb., is to the
effect that the farm hands of Nebraska,
Kansas and contiguous states are organ
izing for the purpose of protecting their
interests against the farmers' alliance.
The alliance has been making overtures
for some sort of a union with the organi
zations of other urban workingmen, and
the farm laborers fear that unless they
make a defensive move they will shortly
find themselves “completely in the merci
less grasp" of the alliance. Such a de
claration, having reference to the farmers’
alliance, is really funny, when it is re
membered how often an almost identical
expression is used by the alliances in re
ferring to the "money power.” A Kansas
City farm hand, writing to an organizer
of the new labor union, which is as yet
without an accepted name, says, in
enumerating the reasons why the farm
laborers must organize for self preserva
tion, that the farmers' alliance is "com
posed, not of the workingmen of the
country, but of their employers, who are
to all intents and purposes manufacturers,
as much as the mill owners and iron mas
ters of the country; and they are em
ployers who are under no such restric
tions as others.” How exasperating must
be the comparison to those who are in the
alliance merely for the purpose of "farm
ing the farmers!” However, tocontinue;
“The laborers on the farm,” the writer
of the letter goes on, “get smaller wages
than other-classes of workingmen, and
have to work longer hours; their in
terests have been persistently ignored in
all movements looking to the betterment
of the 'laboring classes,’ and they have
been consistently left out of all legisla
tion, even in Kansas, on the subjects of
hours, wages, etc.” Is there a populist in
Kansas, or elsewhere, who can truthfully
deny what this farm laborer says?
It's funiiy about Senators Teller and
Wolcott, of Colorado. A few days ago
they sent a joint telegram to the lower
branch of the Colorado legislature
saying; “Prosperity will return to
us if we do nothing to drive
it away, and we believe a favorable
solution of the silver question will be
found eventually. Any prolonged or con
tinued session of the assembly would, in
our opinion, be most unwise and would
only result In injury to Colorado.” No
longer ago than September and October
the people of the country were sending
similar messages to Teller and Wolcott in
the Senate, yet Teller and Wolcott were
prolonging and continuing the silver
fight in congress—the fight that Waite is
waging in the legislature—to the injury
of the business of the country. And as
between their demeanor while fighting,
Waite has conducted himself in the more
mannish mauner—Waite “cussed” and
Teller cried.
Another African colonization society,
under the name of the International
Emigration Society, has been incorporated
iu Alabama, with a capital stock of SIOO,-
000. The purpose of the society is to
send negroes from the southern states to
Liberia. “It will operate a line of steamers
between America aud Liberia via
Monrovia. A uniform fare of S2O will be
charged, which includes board en route.
The society claims to be prepared to fur
nish homes and employment for the ne
groes in Liberia.” Tho colored people of
the south would do well to recall the Azor
and reflect on the fortunes of her passen
gers before rushing off to secure passage
to Liberia.
A Boston newspaper, referring to the
fact that Mr. Andrew D. White, ex-presi
dent of Cornell University, remains at St.
Petersburg as the representative of this
government, adds this interesting contri
bution to the political gossip of the times;
“Mr. White has long been a friend and
admirer of Cleveland and presumably the
feeling is reciprocated. It is said that
when Mr. White took the republican
stump in the last New York gubernatorial
contest, he stipulated that nothing was to
be said by him against the then ex-presi
dent.”
CURRENT COMMENT.
Louisiana Still Hopeful.
From New Orleans Times Democrat (Dem.).
However, as it stands, the chances we think
are considerably in favor of the Louisiana
sugar industry in the pull baker, pull-devil
struggle.
Missouri Sees Light Ahead.
From the St. Louts Republic (Dem.).
Tom Johnson admits that he Is a monop
olist and ought to be curbed. Andrew Car
negie regards the Wilspn bill as a conserva
tive measure. (Ve are shipping 1,000 agricul
tural machines to Argentina. AVo make
electrical supplies for Belgium. Our cottons
are sent to Arabia and Asia Minor. The free
trade days are only a few congresses distant.
Mr. Dole, of Hawaii,
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem ).
President Dole has clearly overstepped the
limits of propriety. That he is conscious of
it is shown by his later communication. But
It is not Impossible that our annexationists,
in their blind zeal, will glory in insults of
fered to our government Whenju politician
once abandons Wa-hingtou s policy of no
entangling alliances’ there is no telling
where he will stop. If he denounces his own
President for opposing annexation he eannot
but commend a foreign government that does
the same thing.
The Hawaiian "Republic.”
From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
It Is cheerful to note that the great Hawa
iian republic is making arrangements to im
port more Chinamen in order to coerce the
Japanese Into accepting ‘free trade wages.”
It is also exhilarating to be told that a num
ber of the young men are preparing to go
upon a co-operative sealing expedition.’ a
polite name for piracy, as it is explained that
the intention is to descend on the Japanese
rookeries. It is too plain for argument that
the ‘ sons of the missionaries’’ are going to
have a blooming Christian republic in
Hawaii and profit greatly by “gayneful pil
lodge."
Within the Law and His Duty.
From the Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.).
Some of the solons of congress are deliver
ing themselves of elaborate opinions that
the Secretary of the Treasury, while he may
have the power to sell bonds to restore the
depleted gold reserve, may not use the money
he thus receives for the purpose of defraying
the ordinary expenses of government. Mr.
Carlisle Is confronted by a condition not a
theory, to use the language employed by
President Cleveland on an Important occa
sion The gold reserve is seriously invaded
aud the government’s income Is monthly
falling behind Its expenditures He has
asked congress to give him specific authority
to sell bonds both to replenish the reserve
and meet the deficiencies, but congress is re
luctant to act on his suggestion. Therefore,
acting upon his conception of his duty at a
trying period, he decides that the country's
credit must be sustained. He Issues the
bonds under the authority of law to replenish
the reserve, and If that reserve should be
again invaded by the failure of revenues to
meet expenses It will be again his duty to re
plenish it. unless congress should see fit to
come to his relief by some new enactment.

CONGRESS AND HAWAII.
The House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs Reports a Resolution.
Washington, Jan. 23.—Representative
McCreary, chairman of the House com
mittee on foreign affairs, has prepared
and to-day introduced in the House a
resolution defining the attitude of con
gress towards Hawaii. The resolution
was referred to the committee on foreign
affairs and will receive consideration
at Thursday's ipeeting. Mr. McCreary
says that the resolution represents the
sentiments of the nine democratic mem
bers of the committee, and he expects it
will be reported to the House and form
the basis of the discussion which will be
gin immediately after the disposition of
the tariff bill.
The text of the resolution is as follows:
1. Resolved, That it is the sense of this
House that the action of the United States
minister in employing United States naval
forces, and in illegally overthrowing the con
stitutional government of the Hawaiian
Islands in January. 1893, and in
setting up in its place a provisonal
government not republican in form,
and in opposition to the will of the majority
of the people was contrary to the traditions
of our republic and the spirit of our constitu
tion. and should be and is condemned.
- That we heartily approve of the principle
announced by the President of the United
States that interference with the domestic
affairs ot an independent nation is contrary
to the spirit of American insti
tutions, and it is further the sense of
this House that the annexation of the Ha
waiian islands to ouv country, or the assump
tion of a prote, lorote over them by our gov
ernment. is uncalled for and is inexpedient;
that the people of that country should have ab
solute freedom and independence m pursuing
their own policy, and that foreign interven
tion in the political affairs in the islands will
not be regarded with indifference by the gov
ernment of the United States.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 23.—The condi

Now, If Ever, the Time.
"Col. Throckmorton, a distinguished Ken
tuckian in his day," said Mr. Charles F. Joy.
whose seat the committee on elections a few
days ago decided to give to his contestant.
Mr. O Neill, to a Washington Post man, "Col,
Throckmorton was once upon a time in sub
stantially the same predicament that I have
been in since I became connected with the
House of Representatives. Col. Throckmor
ton was once a passenger on a wooden sailing
vessel on the high seas when a frigh ful storm
burst and the vessel became water-logged. The
ship was pitching and dancing about on the
crest of the tempestuous ocean like a straw in
a whirlpool. Ihe passengers were crying and
appealing to heaven for aid. Col. 'Throck
morton, with all the gravity of a Kentucky
gentleman, viewed the s.ene with composure.
The storm increased in fury. The sailors
were running about, the officers were shout
ing. and everything was in confusion. About
this stage of the proceeding® the colonel
edged over to the side or the captain and said
" .Tell me, is there really any danger?’
" You see what the rest of the passengers
are doing,’ replied the captain, they are
making their peace with God. If you ever do
any praying, ccionel. you might do so with
perfect propriety at this juncture. The vessel
can t live five minutes. The next pitch or
two will send her to the bottom with all on
board.’ ■
"The colonel straightened himself, lifted
his hat. looked up to tbe scowling sky with a
reverent mien, and exclaimed:
" Almighty God. if you ever intend to do
Col. Throckmorton, of Kentucky, a favor
now is your time to do it!’ < ■
"Col. Throckmorton." concluded Mr. Joy
"lived to tell this story himself which illus
trates that a man should not despair until the
last.”
The Postmaster’s Subterfuge.
“One of the most pathetic scenes that ever
came under my observation." said a south
erner to a Globe Democrat man "was at a
country store on the Big Sandy river in West
Virginia. 1 was there as a special postofflee
inspector, and was sitting in the store one
bitterly cold night. A fee le old woman,
wearing a thin calico diess and a faded sun
bonnet. came in timidly as if fearing bad
news. 1 don't reckon you ain't got nothin’
for me.' she said to the storekeeper. ‘Yes;
I've got a letter.' and the old woman clutched
it to her bosom as if it was the dearest thing
on earth to her. and with a quick step born of
happiness she walked out. I wrote that let
ter myself.' said the storekeeper to me. 'Her
son went down the river on a raft three years
ago and was drowned. The old woman could
never understand that the boy was dead and
she writes to him every week, just backing
her letters. My Boy Bill. Down the River.’
It hurt her so not to get any answers that
every week I write to her and sign Bill s
name.’ ”

GIVEN A BUST OF GRADY.
A Pleasant Incident at a Meeting of
Underwriters.
New York. Jan. 23.—A pleasing inci
dent of more than local interest occurred
at the meeting of the Life Insurance As
sociation at the Insurance Club this even
ing.
Thomas Peters, of Atlanta, representing
the Georgia Life Underwriter’s Associa
tion, and first vice president of the
National Association of Life Under
writers, was present at the ban
quet by special invitation and
in concluding an eloquent address, pre
sented to the New York association, a
life size bust of the late Henry W. Grady.
Mr. Peters feelingly alluded to the fact
that as peace is the cement and binding
tie of the Life Underwriter’s Association,
so the life of Mr. Grady was given to the
promotion of peace between the sections
of this country, an 4 when he was called
away he was said to be “Loving the na
tion into peace.”
The New York association in receiving
their Atlanta brethren's gift, recipro
cated the expressions of good will which
accompanied the presentation. The inci
dent will long be remembered by all pres
ent.
PUT BACK TO PORT-
The Steamer Nomannis Badly Dam
aged By a Big Wan.
New York, Jan. 23.—The steamer Nor
mannia, which sailed last Thursday for
Genoa, returned to port this morning
with a smashed deck house. Sunday
morning, during a strong easterly gale, a
heavy sea boarded her forward and swept
aft, carrying away her rails, stanchions
and completely wrecking the forward
deck house, flooding the cabins, etc. As
soon as the break could be covered up
with canvas the ship turned about and
headed for New York. The damage, ac
cording to Capt. Hebich, can be repaired
in twenty-four hours. The vessel can be
coaled and ready for sea in forty-eight
hours. The passengers are all well and
will remain on board until the vessel sails.
The Normannia was struck by a tidal
wave, which swept away some of the
deck rooms, part of the promenade deck,
and injured seven men, including the
second officer, who it is feared will die.
TALMAGE RESIGNS.
The Financial Troubles of His Church
Lead to His Action.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 23.—The Rev. Dr.
Talmage gave out the following state
ment:
My resignation is positive I will ask the
presbytery at the spring meeting to dissolve
my pastoral relations. I hope no effort will
be made to retain me. I have expended all
the nervous energy I have to spare on the
financial question. Fighting two great fires
has taken all my surplus forces. I must keep
my health for preaching the gospel.
I am in communication with no other church
and have no plans for the future.
The doctor said that he did not
believe the slightest imputation against
Mr. Wood, the former treasurer of the
tabernacle, who had been a faithful
worker in the church for many years.
The statement was published this morn
ing that there was a shortage of $21,000
iu Mr. Wood’s accounts.
INDIA’S CRY FOR SILVER.
Lord Lansdowne Thinks It Will
Eventually Cease.
Calcutta, Jan. 23.—Lord Lansdowne,
the retiring Viceroy of India, in a speech
at a farewell banquet, said that the gov
ernment adhered to its main object,
namely, to restrict silver currency, and
that this object would be attained if the
mints continued closed. He was of the
opinion that the native demand for cheap
silver would eventually cease.
A NOTIFICATION ISSUED.
London, Jan. 23.— The India council

be received at the Bank of England on
Jan. 30 for £2,500,000 worth of six months’
treasury bills.
A dispatch to the Times from Calcutta

morning, but that the ignorance of the
government’s intentions still paralyzes
trade.
