ALLPDX ADDS ITS HORRORS,
A Se Petersburg cable says To the
hozrore of famine in thia country have been
added the concomitant of pestilence. Small-
pox is carrying off large numbers of the
impoverished people, who, in their weak-
ened condition, fall a ready prey to the
dreaded disease. Ia two small villages of
the Goverement of lattza,n 200 pereone are
down with the loathsonee disease, and 50
deaths Metre already occurred. Smallpox is
also ravaging the Provincee of Vlateta,
feamara, leharkoff, Kursle, Oren-
burg, Peterhoff and Saratoff. Typhus fever
is also carrying off numerous victims in
•
various Provinces. On the whole, a more
gloomy outlook could not well be imagined,
and although the few doctors scattered
through the country are doing their
utmost to stay tlae diseases, their efforts
are almost useless. The people have reached
a stage Where they think it uaelees to
fight against any affliction sent them, and
consequently many who might recover had
they any energy or wili-power, lie down and
succumb to disease without making a single
effort in their MU behalf. Many, too, pre-
fer death from disease to suffering the slow
torture of death from starvation.
At Shadrinsk, in the Province of Perin,
a awl condition of affeirs exists, and it may
be necessary for the Government to inter-
fere to prevent a wholesale carrying off of
the inhabitants by famine. The granaries
there are almost exhausted, and tho poor
people know not where to turn' to obtain
food to keep life in their miserable bodies.
Missionaries, who were sent to relieve the
distress, were unable to buy corn at any
price. All the stocks of grain in the
vicinity were used, or else those who did
have grain refused to sell it, for fear that if
they did they would soon find themselves in
a plight similar to their unfortunate neigh-
bors.
A decree has been issued stating that
from January 1st next the Lutheran clergy
will be deprived of all the rights to appoint

schools in Russia. A special commission
has been appointed to examine teachers in
the German schools. Should any of the
teachers display an imperfect knowledge
of the Russian language they will be dis-
missed.

siderable number of Chinese laborers have
during the past year entered the United
States from Canada and Mexico. There
seems to be satisfactory evidence that the
business of passing Chinamen through
Canada to the United States is organized
and quite active, The Department of
Justice has construed the laws to require
the return of any Chinamen found
to be v.nlawfully in this country
to China as the country from which he
came, notwithstanding the fact that he
came by way of Canada. But severalof the
District Courts have overruled this view of
the kw and decided that such personsraust
be returned to Canada. The Canadian offi-
cials refuse to allow them to re-enter Can-

The Leaden Tealea puolishes a despatch
from Santiago aP, Chili stating tame the
inaulting notes ritten to the Go-Ternment
by elr. Egarenlhe United States e.stinister to
Chili, and his, telegrams to his sawn Govern-
ment, CaUSea a proposition to be made that
Celli suppress her legation. at Washington.
This proposition was discussed at a meeting
of the Finance Committee of the House of
Representatives last night, and a heated
debate took place. The Government de-
clined to support the proposal, and when
the matter was put to a vote those who were
in favor of recalling the Chilian Minister to
the United States and abolishing the lega-
tion at Washington were defeated. The
Government made a strong fight against the
adoption of the proposal.
The law of the last Congress providing a
eystem of inspection for our meats intended
for expert, and clothing the President with
power to exclude foreign products from our
market in case the country sending them
should perpetuate unjust discriminations
against any product of the United States,
placed this Government in a position to
effectively urge the removal of such dis-
crimination against our meats. It is grata
-lying to be able to state that Germany,
Denmark, Italy, Austria and France, in the
order named have opened their ports to
inspected American pork products.
'THE ITALIAN DIFFICULTY STILL UNSETTLED.
The lynching at New Orleans in March
last of eleven men of Italian nativity, by a
mob of citizens, was a most deplorable and
discreditable incident. It is to be regretted
that the manner in which these claims were
presented was not such as to promote a
calm discussion of the question, but this
may well be attributed to the excitement
and indignation which the crime naturally
evoked. The tensporary absence of a
Minister plenipotentiary of Italy at this
capital has retarded the further corre-
spondence, but it is not doubted that a
riendly conclusion is attainable.
THE AMERICAN NAVY.
The report of the Secretary of the Navy
shows a gratifying increase of new naval
vessels in commission. The Newark, Con-
cord, Bennington and Miantonomah have
been added during the year, with an aggre-
gate of something more than 11,000 tons.
Twenty-four warships of all classes are now
under construction in the navy yards and
private shops,but while the work upon them
is going forward satisfactorily, the comple-
tion of the more important vessels will yet
require about a year's time. Some of the
vessels under construction, it is believed,
will be triumphs of naval engineering.
There should be no hesitation in promptly
completing a navy of the best modern type,
large enough to enable this country to dis-
play its flag in all seas, for the protection
of its citizens and of its extending com-
merce.
TIIE PENSION BUREAU.
TICE CHILIAN EMBROGLIO.
The President recites the history of the
civil war in Chili since its outbreak. The
United States Government refused to recog-
nize the bellieerents, and used its good
ofRces to bring.about a peaceful settlement
of the trouble, but maintained a policy of
non-interference. The message indirectly
defends Minister Egan from charges made
ageinst him, and after going over thedetails
connected with the outrage at Valparaiso
on American sailors, says : This Govern-
ment is now awaiting the result of an inves-
tigation which has been conducted by
the criminal court at Valparaiso. It is
reported unofficially that the investigation
is about completed, and it is ex-
pected that the result will soon be
communicated to this Government together
with some adequate and. satisfactory re-
sponse to the note by which the attention
of Chili was called to this incident. If
these just expectations should be disap-
pointed, or further needless delay intervene,
I will, by a special message, bring this mat-
ter again to the attention of Congress for
such action as may be necessary. The en-
tire correspondence with the Government
of Chili will, at an early day, be submitted
of Congress.
TIIE CHINESE OUTBREAIL
The late outbreak against foreigners in
various parts of the Chinese empire has
been a cause of deep concern in view of the
numerous establishments of our citizens in
the interior of that country. This Govern-
ment can do no less than insist upon a con-
tinuance of the protective and punitory
measures which the Chinese Government
has heretofore applied. No effort will be
omitted to protect our citizens peaceably
sojourning in China.
TILE JEWS IN ralssm.
This Government has found occasion to
express, in a friendly spirit, but with
much earnestness, to the Government of the
Czar its serious concern because of the harsh
measures now being enforced against the
Helerewe bit Russia. The immigration of
*este people to the 'Visited States is largely
increased and is likely to asthma propor-
tions which may inalee it difficult to find
bodies and employment for them here arid
to geriously affect the labor market. 'It
estimated that one million will be forced
frera Rank withiri a few years. But the
sudden transfer of such a multitude, under
eonditions thet tend to strip them'of their
email aceinnulattons and to depress their
energies and courege, is neither cod or

A. MOTHER'S CRIME.
She Slays Ber Son to Mob the BetlY Think-
ing Him a Stranger.
A Vienna cable says: A tragedy un-
paralleled in atrocity is reported from
Wieselburg, a town of Hungary, 21 miles
from Prosburg. Sixteen years ago the son
of a poor peasant living in the county of
which Wieselburg is the capital went to
America. There by industry he gradually
saved up about $3,000 in American money.
Resolving to return to his father's home,
the son on his way changed his money into
the compact form of English sovereigns, of
which he had 600. It was late when he
arrived at his father's house. He did not
make himself known but asked for hospi-
tality as a stranger. The mother was not
there at the motnent, but the father recog-
nized his son through the disguise of years
and embraced him. The sou being, weary
retired to rest, after telling his father of the
little fortune he had brought home with
him. The son had the money in a bag near
his bed. The father did not tell the xnother
when she came who the stranger was, re-
solvhsg to wait until morning and 'then let
the son reveal himself to the joy and sur-
prise of the mother. The latter got up
during the night, and eoamined the stran-
ger's baggage, and finding the money, a
larger sum than she had ever dreamed of,
determined to possess it. The husband and
father slept on. The mother stealthily got
a knife and cut the throat of the stranger,
killing him instantly; then she took and
hid the gold. When the father awoke he
found his son in a pool of blood on the bed.
His cry of anguish and horror aroused his
wife, who had expected to find her husband
a ready accomplice in concealing the crime
for the sake of the money. The father
gasped out who the victim . was. With one
ery the murderess reeled and fell dead.
The administration of the Pension Bureau
has been characterized during the year by
diligence. The total number of pensioners
upon the roll on June 30111, 1891, was
676,160. There were during the year
250,565 cases, of this number 102,387 were
allowed under the law of June 271h, 1890.
The issuing of certificates has
been proceeding at the rate of about
30,000 per month.
The appropriation for the payment of
pensions for the fiscal year 1890-91 was
$127,685,793,89 and the amount expended
$118,530,619.25, leaving an unexpended
surplus 0159,155,144.64. The commissioner
is quite confident that there will be no call
this year for a deficiency appropriation, not-
withstanding the rapidity with which the
work is being pushed. The mistake which
has been made by many in their
exaggerated estimates of the cost of
the pensions is in not taking, account of
the diminished value of first payments un-
der the recent legislation. The estimate
for pension expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1893, is $144,956,000,
which, after a careful examination of t he
subject, the commissioner is of opinion will
be sufficient. While these disbursements to
the disabled soldiers of the great civil war
are large, they do not realize the exagger-
ated estimates of those who oppose this
beneficient
A HORRIBLE CREME.
A Brighton Fiend Outrages and Murders a

A London cable says A most horrible
crime came to light, to -day at Brighton.
Last night Edith Jeal, a 5 year-old girl, was
sent to is &op with her brother. While the
boy was purchasing the articles be had been
sent to buy, little Edith remained outside.
When the boy came out of the shop his sis-
ter had disappeared. He searched for her
Lor a time, and, not finding her, concluded
that the had returned home. When he
reached home he told his parents of the
occurrence. They too searched everywhere
for the child, but without success. The
police were notified, and this morning they
found Edith's bodyunder a Filled in a cricket
field. The little girl had been most horribly
maltreated. She had been brutally outraged
bysome fiend, who, after committing this
crime, had strangled his helpless victim to
death. There is not the slightest clue to

Another Story of How the Union Was
Brought About.
A London cable says : The current stories
that the betrothal is due to the Duke of
Clarence's persistent love under great op-
position do not agree with court reports.
On the contrary, it is known that the Duke
of Clarence has long been enamoured of
Princess Helena, of Orleans, and that two
years ago he personally declared his passion
to the Comte de Paris. and received the
assurance that Princess Helene reciprocated
his love and that both herfather and mother
approved the match. Princess Helene then
went to Rome to put the question of a
change of religion as an absolute necessity
before the Pope, who told her that it would
be impossible that such a change could ob-
tain his remotest sympathy. The position
remained unsettled until Prince George be-
came ill, when the Queen and the Princess
and Prince of Wales became alarmed over
the chance of the Duke of Fife nearing the
throne. Pressure was then'put on thebuke
of Clarence and Avondale on every side,
family and Cabinet reasons being adduced
against an alliance with the house of
France. This pressure led to his accept-
ance of Princess Victoria Mary, for whom
he has shown a cousinly liking. The Queen
has promised a dowry to the bride.
liquor on Sunday out of whieleey corsetae
This was the peculiar charge made.tlaie
morning before lila Forget, clerlt of the
Recorder's Court, by Sergeant Boueheeds
of No. 3 station, ageinst two persons whom
he lied found breaking the license leave
yesterday.
" Whiskey corsets f I don't know +
what you mean," said Mr. Forget to the
sergeant. The officer laughed,. and, going
to the door, called in one of his men,
who brought in a pair of corsets made -
out of tin. Mr. Forget took this queer
article to examiue. .Et smele strongly of
whiskey. He shook. it. There was fluid in
it. The mystery -wits soon explained. At
the left hand side of this wonderful garment
there was a small tap, which on being tuened
gave a flow of whiskey. The treachery of
this tin robe was exposed Sergeant
Bouchard explained how he had come to get
this queer coreet. For several weeks past
there had been lots of drunken men on Sun-
days in the east end. He had given orders
to his men to raid every place where the law
was being broken.
In vain the officers ruehed into saloons
and candy stores out of which they saw
drunken men coming. The owners of the
places were always insideebut the barewere
always hut, and not a, glass was to be seen
around.
Candy shops were searched from top to
bottom for liquor. Allanmain. The store-
keepers only laughed, at the police for their
pains. The Officers -cauld not ferret out the -
secret. They knewliquor was being sold
yet were helpless,to stop it. Every Sunday
dozeneof drunken mervreeled on the streets
out of east end- saloons and candy stores. s
The sergeant was discouraged.
Yesterday success clowned his efforts. He
managed ta get into a saloon on St.
Cathariae street east, which had long
been suspected. There were lots of men
in at the time. Finelly one of the crowd
went up to the man who ran the saloon
and gave him a five cent piece. The •
keeper then unbuttoned his coat and gave
the man who had handed him the money a .
than, innocent looking tube ; at the same •
time he put a hand under his vest and •
turned on the tap, which let the whiskey
out of the corset. The buyer was allowed e
to take one swallow rally. A distinction
was made to those who paid ten cents, as •
they were allowed to take three swallows. •
After watching several men take their -
drinks in this disgusting manner, the ser-
geant pounced on the men with the tube and
searched him. The result was the discovery
of the tin corset in question, which was
confiscated.
A number of candy stores were nexta.
eisited, and it was discovered that the big...
women who ran them wore tin corsets which
held a gallon of whiskey. i',.eiree
One woman had a silver peucil connected
with the whiskey receptacle, from which,'
came the fluid. The corset shown
morning was a man's, and held about three -
quarts.
Mr. Forget considered the + offence so---
grave that he at once granted a warrant
for the arrest of one salon -keeper, and'
intends to grant warrants for the arrest of'
several others, including keepers of candy
stores.
THE BRIDE OF DEATH.
A Young; Lady EVOZCIl to Death on Fier Way

A Winnipeg despatch says : The officials
of the Northern Pacific railway brought the
news of a double fatality which occurred on
the line ninety miles south of Winnipeg.
One day last week- durine a blizzard
a. father and his daughter set out
from 1VIallock, Minn., to Drayton in
Dakota, where the daughter was to meet
her affianced, and a marriage was to take
place to -day. The hour when the marriage
was to be solemnized arrived. The young
man was anxiously looking for the bride,
but she never came. The young man
became anxious, and with a friend drove out
in the direction from whence he expected
the bride. To his.great alarm be found a
horse and rig owned by the father of the
young girl, and on further search the bodies
of the missing ones frozen stiff. The young
fellow is grief-stricken and most distracted.

A Minister Opens Ins Door to Find

A Dublin cable says: A ghastly incident
is reported from Bessbrook. Rev. Mr. Ford,
theProtestant rector at that place, was open-
ing his door, when he was horrified by the
spectacle of a coffin aontaining a dead
body on the steps of his house.
The rector at once sent for the
police. The body proved to be that of Pat-
rick Kenny, who hitd been buried a fortnight
before in a Catholic churchyard at Mune-
gloss. Kenny was &Catholic who had mar-
ried a Protestant woman and joined the
Protestant faith. His burial in the same
ground with the Catholics excited much
bitter feeling, and in consequence
the body had been taken up by
parties unknown and brought to the home
of the minister who had performed Kenny's
marriage ceremony. When the widow
beard of the affair she went into one convul-

time that she would die. The police took
charge of the remains and caused them to be
reinterred in a Protestant churchyard at

until thirteen years ago. For the past three
years she lived in Toronto, and met Wood
on Church street in that city about the
middle of October. She was then rooming
on Yonee street. She was accompanied
by Lizzie' Hastings when she first met Wood,
and Miss Hastinge knew the latter. An
introduction followed, and Miss Hastings
interrogated Wood as to whether he had
yet found a housekeeper. He said
he had not and Frankie Lavelle was
suggested. Wood told her to call
at 21 Draper street, which she did. She
found the place was a red brick house,
all furnished except one back room and a
parlor. The defendant's son was there, but
no women. ' She agreed to do the house-
work for her board. She lived there two
weeks and did the housework. Then for
one week all three moved to No. 23 Draper
street, the house of Mrs. Mills, where they
livel for one week. Then defendant asked
her to come to Buffalo. Mrs. Mills and her
sister lived together at the number. She
came to Buffalo about the middle of Octo-
ber, with Wood and his stepson, Arthur
Axtell. They were accompanied by Mrs.
Mills, her child, and her sister, Annie,Hud-
son. She knew young Axtell as Arthur
Wood. She cannot tell the exact date that
they left Toronto for Buffalo. She did not
hear any discussion between Wood and the
others as to what she was to do on arriving
in Buffalo. They had been in Buffalo some
time before improper proposals were made.
The case is not yet concluded.
