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 woman. 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.

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. BID IN BY THE TRUSTEE. The Sheffield Land, Iron and Goal Property on the Block. Nashville, Tenn., Jau. 23.—Yesterday under a decree of the United States court in Huntsville, Ala., the property of the Sheffield (Ala.)

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 23.—The condi tion of George W. Childs was improved this morning. He passed a comfortable night. 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.’ ” BAKNG POWDER. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. D-PRICE'S (Mitt?

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.
