Telegraphic Advices
And Presented in Pointed and Reada
ble Paragraphs.
Advices from Bombay, India, state
that the Bengal aud Madras chambers
of commerce and the millers associa
tion of Bombay have presented to the
India government protests of the
strongest character against the exemp
tion of cotton yarns aud fabrics from
import duty.
A clispntch from Little Rock, Ark.,
says: Boundless, the four-year-ohl,
which won ;lio American derby at
Chicago last year, worth $50,000, pulls
up lame in u right fore tendon after
going over the Little Rock Jockey
club’s track. Boundless had just been
ridden a mile in 1:48J, and it was after
this run that the lumcncsB was discov
ered.
The Illinois Democratic State Con
vention will be held at Springfield,
June 27. Candidates for state treasurer
and superintendent of public instruc
tion will bo nominated, and if a ma
jority of the delegates are so instructed,
a candidate for United States senator
will be named by the convention. This
much has been decided by the Demo
cratic Shite Central Committee at a
meeting in Chicago.
Three daughters of Joseph Schenk,a
wealthy citizen of Sanborn, ten miles
west of Backport, N. Y., have steadily
become violently insane, and a few
days ago ran away to the woods where
they were subsequently found wild and
almost naked. The young ladies are
highly educated and accomplished, aud
are well known in social circles. The
girls are eighteen, twenty and twenty-
seven years old respectively.
A terrific explosion of a bomb oc
curred in front of the chamber of
deputies at Rome, Italy,Thursday even
ing, Two persons were dangerously
and several less seriously injured. The
bomb must have been charged with
material of very high explosive force,
as every window for some distance
around was shattered, railings were
twisted, heavy stones moved from their
places and many evidences of the tre
mendous power of its contents were
.apparent.
Herman Clarke, of the firm of Hun
ter, Clarke \ r Jacobs, at New York,
which failed a day or two ago, has not
been seen by either of hi/s partners
since lust Sunday. Last Saturday the
rise in sugar began which culminated
on Tuesday sixteen points above its
start. Clarke had sold calls on sugar
right and left; most of them were un
der 00 and some of them were as low
as 84. By Saturday the last figure
had been passed and it is thought
Clarke, knowing that he had wrecked
his firm, took flight then.
Advices from Madrid state that the
cabinet sat for seven hours discussing
financial questions and the difficulties
arising from the resistance to taxation
in the provinces. Eventually all the
ministers resigned. The disruption of
the cabinet had been threatening since
last full, but was deferred by the
agreement of the ministers to patch
up their differences until after the set
tlement of the country’s disjmte with
Morocco. Queen Regent Christiana,
has instructed Premier Sagasta to re
construct the ministry.

REV. I)R. TALMAGE.
HIE BROOKLYN DIYIMO’S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “C’hrlsl the Conqueror.*
Trxt : “ Who i.i fh is (hot cometh from E<lom
with d\Iod garments fi'om Rozrah—this that is
glorious in His apparel, traveling in the great
ness of His strength?"- lanlnli lxlil., 1.
F, lom and fiozrnli, having boon the scone
of Herce battle, when those words are used
here or In any other part the Blblo they
are figures or speech setting forth scenes of
severe conflict. As now wo often use the
word Waterloo to describe a decisive contest
of any kin I. so the words Bor.rah and Edom
in this (ext are figures of speech dosoriptivo
of a scene of groat slaughter. Whatever elso
the prophet may have meant to describe, he
most certainly me mt to depict the Lord Jesus
Christ saying. ‘•Who Is this that comet h from
Edom, with dyed garments from Bozruti,
traveling in the greatness of His strength?"
When a general Is about to go out to tho
wars, a flag and a sword are pulilloly pre
sented to him, and tho maidens bring flow
ers, and the young men load the caunon.
and the train starts amid a huzza that
drowns the thunder of the wheels and tho
shricK of the whistle. Rut all this will give
no Idea of the excitement that there must
have been in heaven when Christ started out
on the campaign of the world’s conquest. I f
they could have foreseen tho siege that
would he laid to Him, and the maltreatment
lie Would sulTer, and the burdens He would
have to carry, nn l the battles lie would nave
to thrill, 1 think there would have been a
million volunteers In heaven who would
hnvo-lnslstod on coming along with Him.
But no ; they only accompanied him to the
gnto; their last shout heard eloardownlo
tho earth : the space between the two worlds
bridged with n great hosanna.
You know there is a wide difference be
tween a man’s going olT to halt lo and coming
hack again. When ho goes off, it Is with
epaulets untangled, with banner unspecked,
with hordes sleek and shining from the
groom. All that there Is of struggle and
pain is to come yet. So it was with Christ.
Ho had not yet fought a battle. IIo was
starting out. ami though this world did not
give Him a warm hearted greeting there was
a gent 1<* mother who folded Him iu herarms.
And a babe finds no difference between /i
stable and a palace, between courtiers and
camel drivers.
As Jesus stopped on tho stage of this world
It was amid angelic shouts In tho galleries
and amid the kindest maternal ministra
tions. Jhit soon hostile forces began to
gather. They deployed from the sanhedrin.
They were detailed from the standing army.
They name out from tho Ctesnronu entitles.
The vagabonds in the street joined the gen
tlemen of the mansion. Spirits rode up from
boll, and in long array there came a foroo
together that threatened to put to rout this
newly arrived one from heaven.
Jesus, now seeing tho battle gathering,
lifted Ills own*standard. But who gathered
about it? How feeble tho recruits! A few
shoremen, a blind beggar, a woman with an
alabaster box, another woman with two
mites and a group of friendless, moneyless
and positionless people came to His standard,
What chance was thoro for Him? Nazareth
against Him, Bethlehem against Him, Caper
naum against Him, Jerusalem against Ilim,
Galileo against Him, tho courts against Him,
the army against Him, tho throne against
Him, the world against Him, all hell against
Him. No wonder they asked llim to sur
render.
But Ho could not surrender, IIo could not
Apologize, He could not take any back stops.
He had eomn to strike for tho deliverance of
an enslaved race, and He must do the work.
Then they sent out their pickets to watch
Him. They saw in wlmt house He went and
when Ho came out. They watched what He
ate, and who with ; what He drank, and how
much. They did not dare to make their
ilnnl assault, for they knew not but tlmt be
hind Him there might bo a re-enforeoment
that was not soon,
But at last the battle came. It was to ho
more tierce than Bozmh, more bloody than
Gettysburg, Involving more than Ausierlitz,
more combatants employed than at Chalons,
a ghastlier conflict than all the battles of the
earth put together, though Edmund Burke's
estimate of thirty-five millions of the slain be
accurate. The day was Friday. The hour
was between 12 and 3 o’clock. Tho Hold
was a slight hillock northwest of Jerusalem.
The forces engaged were earth and hell,
joiued ns allies on one side, and heaven,
represented by a solitary inhabitant on the
at her.
Tho hour came. Oh. wlmt a time It was!
1 think that day the universe looked on. The
spirits that could be spared from the
heavenly temple and could get conveyance
of wing or chariot ‘•nine down from above,
and spirits getting furlough from beneath
came up : and they listened,und they looked,
and they watched. Oh, what an uneven bat
tle! Two world’s armed on one side ; an
unarmed man on the other. The regiment;
of the Homan army at that time stationed at
Jerusalem began the attack. They knew
how to fight, b»r they belonged to tho most
thoroughly drilled army of the world. With
Bpeurs glittering in tho sun they charged tip
tho hill. The horses prance and rear
amid the excitement of tfio populace—the
hcolsaX the riders plunged hi the flanks, urg
ing them on.
The weapons begin fo tell on Christ. See
how faint He looks! There the blood
starts, and there, and there, and there. If
He is to hnvo re-enforcements, let Him call
them up now. No ; He must do this work
alone. He is dying. Feel for yourself of
tho wrist; the pulse is feebler. Feel under
(ho arm; the warmth is less. Ho is dying.
Aye. they pronounce Him dead. And just
at that moment that they pronounce Him
dead lie rallied, and from His wounds He
unsheathed a weapon which staggered the
Roman legions down the hill and hurled the
snfaulc battalions into tho pit. it was a
weapon of love—inflnito love, all conquer
ing love. Mightier than javelin or spear, it
triumphed over all. Tut back, ye armies of
earth and hell !
j Tho tide of battle turns. Jesus hath ovor-
I '-ome. Let the people stand apart an l make
i a line that He may pass down from Calvary
to Jerusalem, and thonco on and out all
i around the world. The battle is fought,
i Tho victory is achieved. The triumphal
I march is begun. Hark to the hoofs of the
warrior’s steed and the tramping of a great
; multitude, for Ho has many friends now !
i Tho hero of heaven and earth advances.
- Cheer, cheer! ‘‘Who Is this that comoth
| from Edom, with dyed garments from Hoz-
i rah, traveling iu the greatness of Ills
: strength?"
Wo behold here a new revelation of a
; blessed and a startling fact. People talk of
j Christ us though Ho were going to do some
thing grand for us after awhile. He has
j done it. People talk as though ten or twenty
years from now, in the closing hours of our
Jlfo or in some terrible pass of life, Jesus will
help us. He has done the work already. lie
did it JHG1 years ago. You might as well talk
, of Washington as though he were going to
achieve our national independence In 1950 as
to speak of Christ ns though Ho were going
to achieve our salvation in the future—He
did it in tho year of our Lord 33—1861
years ago—on the field of Bozrah. the
Captain of our salvation fighting unto death
for your ami my emancipation.
All we have to do is to accept that fact in
1 our hearts, and we are free fof this world,
and wo are free for tho world to come.
But. lest we might not accept, Christ comes
through here to-day "traveling in the great-
, nes3 of His strength,’’ not to tell you tlmt He
Is going to fight for you some battle in the
future, but to tell you that the battle is
already fought and the victory already won.
You have noticed that when soldiers como
home from the wars they carry on their flags
the names of tho battlefields where they were
distinguished. Tho Englishman coming back
has on bis banner Inkcrman und Balaklava ,
the Frenchman Jena and Eylau ; the German,
Versailles and Sedan. Aud Christ has on
fl\o banner He carries ns conqueror tho
names or 10,000 battlefields He won for you
and for me. lie rides past all our homes of
bereavement—by the door bell swathed in
sorrow, by the wardrobe black with woe, by
the dismantled fortress of our strength.
Come out mid greet Him to-day, Oyo peo
ple ! Hee tho names of all tho bnttlo passes
on His flag. Yo who are poor, road on this
ensign the story of Christ’s lmrd crusts and
plllowloss head. Ye who arc persecuted,
rend hero of the ruffians who chased Ilim
from His first breath to His last. Mighty to
soothe your troubles, mighty to balk vour
ealamltles, mighty to tread down your foes,
“traveling In tlie greatness of Ills strength.”
Though It is horse ho brown with the dust of
tho march, and tho fetlocks he wot with the
carnage, and the bit 1)0 red with the blood of
your spiritual foes, Ho comes up now, not
exhausted from the battle, but fresh as when
He went into IT—coming up from Bozrah,
“traveling in the greatness of Ills strength.”
You know that when Augustus and Con
stantine and Trajan and Titus on mo hack
from tho wars what a time there was. You
know they camo on horsoback or in chariots,
and there wore trophies before, and there
worn captives behind, and there were people
shouting on all sides, and there woro gar
lands flung from th window, and over tho
highway a triumphal a rah was sprung. Tho
solid masonry to-day at Benovento, ltiminl
and Romo still tell tnolp.ndmtration forthoio
heroes. And shall wo let ' our conqueror go
without lifting any aeolaim'V Have we not
flowers rod enough to ijnpiet the caanago,
white enough to celebrate t he Victory, fra
grant enough to breathe the joy?
Those men of whom r flist spoke draggod
their victims at the chariot wheels, but
Christ, our Lord, lakes those who once were
captives and Invites tliomdiito His chariot to
ride, while Ho puts around thorn the arm of
strength, saying, “I have loved thoe with an
everlasting love, and the waters shall not
drown It, and tho Urns shall not burn it, and
eteruity shall not exlmust tt."
If this bo true, 1 oamvot soo how any man
can carry his sorrows ivlgieat while. If this
conqueror from Bozrah 1* going to beat back
all your griefs, why not tyrust Him? Oh, do
you not feel under this, gospel your griefs
falling hack and your tears drying up as you
hear the tramp of a thousand illustrious
promises led on by the conqueror from
Bozrah, “traveling, traveling in tho great
ness of fTls strength?”
On that Friday which tho Episcopal
church rightly celebrates, calling it “Good
Friday,” your soul and rnino were contended
for. On that day JObjis proved Himself
mightier than earth and hell, and When the
lances struck Him Ho gathered them up Into
a sheaf as a reaper gathers the grain, and lie
stacked them. Mounting the horse of the
Apocalypse, He rodo down through tho ages
“traveling iu tho greatinss of His strongt h.”
On that day your sin anft mine perished, if
we will only believe if. *
There may bo some on J here who may say i
“I don't like tho color this conqueror’s
garments. You toll mb-that His garments
were not only Bpnttcro| with the blood of
conflict, but also they were soaked; that
they were saturated ; tlui| they welo dyed in
it." 1 admit if. You s/fy you do not like
that. Thun I quote you two passages of
Oorlpturo; “Without the shading of blood
there is no remission.” “hi the blood is the
atonement.” But it was'not your Idood, it
was Ills own. Not only enough to redden
Ills garments and to read on His horse, but
enough to wash away tho sins of tho world.
Oh, tho blood on Ills bro4y. tho bload on Ills
hands, the blood on Hi«g foot, tho blood on
His side ! It seems as If au artery must huvo
boon cut,
Thera Is a fountain flllrjl with blood

At 2 o’clock to-mdVroWAfternoon go among
the places of business or .toll. It will bo no
difficult thing for you to find men who by
their looks show you lOiat they are over
worked. They are prerfmturoly old. They
are hastening rapidly toward their decease.
They have gone through crises in business
Hint shattered their fifrvous system and
pulled on the brain. Tlpy hnvo n shortness
of breath, and a pain in the back or tho head,
and at night an insomnia that alarms them.
Why are they drudging ty. business early and
late! For fun? N ;iti,;ould bo difficult to
extract any amusement out of tlmt exhaus
tion, Because they arolnvariolous? In many
cases, no. Because tholr own personal ex
penses are lavish? No ; ft few hundred dollars
would meet all their wants.
The simple fact Is the man Is enduring all
that fatigue and exasperation and wear and
tear to keep his home prosperous. There is
an Invisible lino reaching from that store,
from that bank, from that shop, from that
scaffolding, to a quiet scene a few blocks, a
few miles away, and there Is the secret of
that business endurance. He is simply tho
champion of a homestead, for which he wins
bread and wardrobe and education and pros
perity, and in such buttle 10,000 men fall, or
ten business men whom l bury nine die of

This is the sixth night that, mother has sat

she gets the little one through the ordeal. •

About thirty-throe years ago there went
forth from our homes hundreds of thousands
of men to do battle for their country. All
the poetry of war soon vanished and left
them nothing but the terrible prose. They
waded knee deep in mud. They slept in
snowbanks. They marched till their cut feet
trucked tho earth. They were swindled out
of tliolr honest rations and lived on meat not
fit fora dog. They had jaws all fractured,
and eyes extinguished, and limbs Bhot away.
Thousands o 1 them cried for water as they
i Jay dying on the field the night after the
j battle and got It not. They wore homesick
’ and received no message from their loved
; ones. They died in barns, in bushes, in
ditches, tho buzzards of tho summor boat the
only attendants on their obsequies.
No one but tho Inflnito God, who knows
everything, knows tho ten thousandth part
of tho length and breadth and depth and
height of anguish of the northern nndsouth
ern battlefields. Why did these fathers
leave their children ami go to tho front, and
why did these young men, postponing tho
marriage day. start out into the probabilities
of never coming Back? For the country they
died. Life for life. Blood for bloofl. Sub

But we need not go so far. Wluit is that

Why go? Were there not enough sick to bo

yes : but the doctor puts a few tnedleal books
in his valise, and some vials of medicine.and
leaves his patients here in the hands of other
nhyslolnns, and takes tho rail train. Before

“Doctor, you Imd hotter go home and rest}
you look miserable.”
But he cannot rest while so many aro

finds him In a delirium, in which he talks of
home and then rises and says he must go
and look after (hose patients. Ho is told to
lie down, but he lights his attendants until
he falls back, and i.i weaker and weaker, and
dies for people with whom lie had no kinship,

Blood for blood. HUbstitutlon !
Some of our modern theologians who want
to give God lessons about the best way to
save tho world tell us they do not want any
blood in their redemption. They want to
taka thin horse by the bit and hurl him back
on his haunches and tell this rider from
Bozrah to go around some other way. Look
out lest yo fall under the /lying hoofs of this

to prophesy the (demising blood, the pardon

it to a jeweler in Eleventh street for

said : “Yes, this is a gold ring of four

was n tliree-carat diamond. It was |
worn a number of years on a slender '

TRADE REVIEW.
Report of Business for the. Fast Week
by Dun k Co.
R. G. Dun «Y Co.’s review of trade
for the past week says: Evidences of
present improvement in business mul
tiply, but confidence iu future im
provement. does not seem to increase.
Tnoro is more business and a larger
production by industries, for the sea
son haH arrived when greater activity
i’h necessary if dealers” stock aro to bo
replenished, and those who cannot
nmko calculations beyond a few months
aro the more anxious lo crowd as
much trade ns they safely can into
those months.
Undertakings beyond a short time
are not made with groat freedom and in
spite of a larger demand, prices of a
larger demand, prices of manufactur
ed goods tend downward.
The most distinct gain iH iu iron and
steel manufacture. Tho output of pig
iron March 1st was 110,100 tons, hav
ing increased ton per cent during tho
month, though it is still 37.8 per cent
less than a year ago. Shipments of
boots and shoos from the east ore 14.8
per cent smaller than a year ago for
the same weeks, and purchases are
still mainly of medium or low-priced
goods.
In textile manufactures and dry
goods thoro are increased activity and
replenishment of stocks, as is natural
at this season. But the demand thus
far falls much short of expectations,
and its character indicates economy in
consumption.
'Die volume of domestic trade shown
by clearings decreases for the week
only 17.4 per cent, outside New York,
and 34.9 per cent, hero, compared with
hist year. In foreign trade changes
aro also for the bettor, exports having
liven large, and for four weeks, 14 per
cent, larger than last year, while tho
decrease in imports for February was
37 per cent. Thus, customs revenues
do not improve, und for the week have
been 51 per cent, less than last, year,
the decrease in internal revenue being
10 per cent.
Money is weak with further decrease
in tho demand for cotnmericol loans.
Failures are growing less important
and somewhat fewer also. For the
week ending March 1st, tho liabilities
for the week thus fur were only $2;-
237,832 and for four weeks of Februa
ry, $14,880,091, of which $0,732,015
wore of manufacturing and $7,097,127
of trading concerns.
The number of failures during tho past
week lias been 248 in the United StateH,
against 193 h/st, year, and sixty in
Canada, against thirty-two last year.
Scarcely a single one is of importance,
aud it is gratifying that tho conse
quences of great reverses last year
have been so far overcome.
DA GAMA DISCOURAGED.
Ife Sees No Hope for /lie Success of
I he Insurgents.
Latest advices from Rio do Janeiro
state that there arc reasons to believe
that Admiral da (lama considers the
chances of success on the part of the
insurgents almost hopeless, and that
he is seeking an opportunity to sur
render to the foreign commanders.
Tin's is thought to be due to the fail
ure of De Mello to reinforce him from
the south and to tho l'car that ho may
bo overwhelmed at any time by the ar
rival of the government fleet.
WILSON’S CONDITION.
lie is Reported as Being Still Unit-
lined to His Had.
Representative Breckinridge, of Ar
kansas, has received a telegram from
the sou of Representative Wilson, iu
which he states that his father is still
in bod and very weak and emaciated,
although ho now has no fever. Tho tele
gram is not regarded by Mr. Breckin
ridge as encouraging, as the reference
to Mr. Wilson’s weakness and emacia
tion dispels the rose-colored reports
received of late.
Against the Wilson Bill.
A movement to hold a big conven
tion of workingmen in Washington,
April fi or 7, to protest against tho
passage of the Wilson bill by the sen
ate has been inaugurated in Philadel
phia. Delegates representing about
fifty of the largest manufacturing es
tablishments in Hie city, employing
about 20,000 operatives, held a meet
ing at the Ivclsington to take action
upon a protest against the bill.
W isconsin Labor Ticket.
The co-operative party, a combina
tion of socialists and members of the
federated trades council, at a meeting
in Milwaukoo, placed a full municipal
ticket in tho field, being tho first par
ty in Milwaukee to take such action.
The resolutions roundly denounced
the republicans and tho American pro
tective association.
Judge Slone Dead.
Judge George W. Stone, chief justice
of the state niprerao court, of Ala
bama is dead. He had been able to
uttend to his duties until a few days
ago, when he was compelled to keep
himself at home. Old age was the
primary trouble, but the immediate
cuusc of his death was heart failure.
Uottou Mill Falls.
The Nashville, Tenn., Cotton Mills
Company has made an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, whose
claims aggregate $09,000. The South
ern National Bank of New York is the
largest creditor, its claim lining $21,-
000.
McVeigh at Home.
Wayne McVeigh, the new United
States embassador to Italy, has ar
rived at Romo and presented his cre
dentials. King Humbert most cor
dially assured him that he most highly
valued the friendship of the United
States,
