have been issued stopping work on

in the last day or two, displayed
something of a warlike spirit, at

The Philadelphia Press says that
the s.area of groud appropriated at
Paramount Park for the Centennial
Exposition is 45O acres, and is bound
ed by the Schuylkill River on the
east, Girard avenue on the south
east, Elm avenue on the south, and
Fifty-second street on the west-so
that Girard avenue, when graded
and paved, as is contemplated, will
be the main approach to the build
ings. Elm avenue and Fortieth
and Forty and Forty-frst streets
will also lead to the Park, and steps
have been taken by Councils look
lag to the improvement of these
thoroughfares, in order that they
may be made availoble before the
opening of the Exposition. The
ground plans, as approved of by the
Commission, provides for the erec-
ton of a machinery hall, conserva-
tory, art gallery, and the main Ex-
position building. All of these will
be so located as to be within easy
reach of each other, and upon the
most beautiful portion of the park.
The grand pavilion, or main Expo
sition building, will have frontage
of 2,075 feet on Elm avenue, and
will have depth of 1 900 feet. I'm
mediately north, and near to the
Landsdowne drive, it is designed to
erect the art gallery. West of the
Exposition will be the machinery
and agricultural halls-the former
to be 2,275 long, and the latter l.
420 feet. These are to be conuect-
ed with the main buildings by a
covered passage way. A better
idea of the immensity of the work
to be performed and of the extent
of the ground to be occupied will be
had when it is stated that the grand
pavilion will cover an area of 36. 5
acres, which can be increased to Al
acres. Machinery Hall will occupy
9.5- acres, and Agricultural Hall a. 6
acres

A Man Robbed of $4,000.

PARSONS, Kansas, November 24.-On
Friday evening last, Mr.. Watt Grayson,
a Creek Indian farmer and stock dealer
here, was robbed of over thirty thous-
and dollars, mostly in gold and silver,
by party of three white men. One of
the men had been at Mr. Grayson's
house and about his premises for two or
three days under the pretense of pur-
chasing some horses. He claimed to
have leately been in business in Texas
About seven or eight O'Clock in the eve
ming his confederates arrived we'll noun
ted, and armed with revolvers Mr.
Grayson was Immediately seized and
bound, and demand made for his mon
ey, of which he was known to have
large amount concealed on his premises
He refused to tell them where it was,
when he was taken to tree near by and
hung until he was nearly insensible.-
This hanging was repeated six or seven
times before he would communicate
where it was concealed, and only did so
upon their threatening to hang his wife
in his place to obtain information
There were some half breed Indians and
negroes about the house, but were they
so intimidated that they made no resis-
tance. The men were traced to within a
few miles south of the Canadian riv er
where they parted, one going southwark
and two northward. A reward of one
tho usand five hundred dollars has been
offered for their apprehension. Mr..
Grayson is an old man of probably six
ty-fve years, and is now lying very i'll
at his home, from effects of this NAL
treatment

The Cuban ImbrogliO.

The news from Cuba puts little bet
ter face on the terrible tragedy. 1t
seems that fewer persons were executed
by the authorizes than was reported, and
that the executions were stopped in
obedience 10 orders from the Spanish
Government And the intelligence from
Spain is also more pacific and reassur-
ing. The complication is very serious,
and the case is one of the most critical
and difficult that has ever vexed our
diplomacy. 1t is a matter of profound
regret that at the present juncture
our Government is not represented at
the Spanish Court by a real statesman
and diplomatist like Mr.. Adams or Mr..
Everett, instead of mere adventurer
and bellicose braggadocio. A case of
this magnitude requiers delicacy and
dignity of handling, with knowledge
of international law and historical pre-
eedents, for which the present Minister
is sadly incompetent. 1t is evident,
from the hints dropped in the Nation
and other exponents of Spanish inter-
ests, that the Spanish Government viii
maintain the ground that the Virginius
was not an American vessel. 1t will be
eontended that she was a British ship,
built for blockade-running and though
captured by our Government has never
been legally and formally condemned;
hence the American register was false
and the use of the American flag was a
fraud. Its obvious at a glance that the
case is immeshed in difficulties of a pc
culiarly intricate and delicate nature;
and, while it may be easy enough TO cut
through the whole web with one stroke
of the sword, it would be disgraceful to
our national character and an inefacea-
bic blotch on our national reputation TO
take advantage of power to do a dishon-
orable deed. America has always con
tended for a code of international law.
She has done more than any other ma
tion on the globe to secure and main
tain such a code. In his last message
President Grant went beyond the re-
quirements of his station to express his
faith in and desire for a commonwealth
of nations. We are committed as a ma
tion to this policy. And whatever ma
tional honor and justice and the inter
ests of humanity may require in the
present unfort uanate crisis, let us hope
that nothing may be done prematurely,
and that no step may be taken that
wise craftsmanship or calm historical ret
respect will wish TO have retraced.
America can suffer much, but she can
not afford to commit an injustice nor
make mistake.-NeO York Graphic.

The Stains Of the Yirginius.

Two facts seem to be conceded In re-
gard to the Virginius, and it is upon
them our government is basing its action
The first is that she was captured on the
high seas-the chase after her by the
Tornado did not even begin when she
was In Cuban waters. Fhe-second is
that her papers were in regular order,
and under them she had right to fly
the American flag. Ii captured in an
Cuba, and when she was within the three
mile from shore jurisdiction of the
Spaniards, the Virginius would have
been subject to their municipal or mill
tary law But this was not the case.
The vital points of the question are well
stated in this extract from a speech
made by Hon. S. s. Cox in New York,
on Friday evening:
What are the obligations of the Gov
ernment to the men on board of the Vir-
ginius? Suppose an American in for
eign port is looking for employment as
fireman, or engineer, or sailor. He
sees the Virginius flying the American
flag; not content with this, for extra
caution, he inspects her register; with
still futher caution, he goes 10 the Con-
sui and finds he has granted her clear
ance. Heis justified in accepting her
as an American vessel and on a lawful
voyage. If her voyage, or her character,
be unlawful, his government has entrap-
ped him. How can our Government
get over its obligations to protect every
man thus induced to go on board of that
vessel with the feeling that he was still
practically on the soil of this country?
The Virginius was while on the high
seas, as much under our protection and
jurisdiction as if she lay in New York
Harbor. If an American man-of-war
had found the Virginius on the seas in the
hands Of Spain, would not the man-of-
war have been bound, after inspection
of her papers, to rescue her? The
character of the men execueed and their
purposes have nothing to do with the
matter: Spain has no more right to
take bad man from under our protec-
tion than she has to take good man.
Spain has taken redress into her own
hands in this case, within our jurisdic-
tion, as it were, upon our soil. The eff
fort TO make this case analogous to our
captures of blockade-rumers during the
rebellion fails. There was no blockade
proclaimed nor any war; for Spain does
not acknowledge her insurgents as bel
igerents. Morever, if the case were
analogous, then the Nirginius should
have been judicially proved in an Ad-
miralty Court to be a lawful prize for
violating regulation of law or war, be-
fore Spain had any right to hold her
crew or passengers to account.
In illustration of what is stated in the
first part of this extract, it has been an
certained that some of the crew Of the
Virginius when they shipped at Kings
ton, Jamaica, did not know the charac-
ter of the vessel-that she was block
ade runner. They trusted to the Amer
ican papers and American flag under
which she sailed. IF the Spaniards had
not been in hurry to butcher the pris-
oners this could have been made clear
to them under a fair trial to which they
were entitled by our treaty stipulations
with Spain.

Boss Tweed has been sentenced
to twelve years imprisonment, and
to pay fine Of $12,7O0, as pun
ishment for the numerous tmpara-
lleled rascalities which he perpetra-
ted during the time he was "run-
ming" New York city. This will
doubtless go hard with the old trans
gressor, as heretofore he had things
preety much to his own notion, and
has been unusully successful in es-
Gaping serious interruption in the
eonsummation of his schemes of rob-
hery. He is now sixty-seven years
old; so his sentence amounts to i'm
prisonment for life. His conviction
and sentence are cause for much en-
couragement to the law-respecting
people of the great city; and they
are zealously pushing their efforts
for the ultimate conviction and pun
ishment of the plunderers who were
connected with the Boss. There is
fattering prospect that the whole
gang viii get their deserts; and the
lesson which their conviction and
punishment will impart will have
wholesome influence upon similarly

A SELF SUSTAINING INSTITUTION
The United States Patent Office seems
to be worked up very nearly'to financial
perfection. According to the late official
report the receipts of that establishment
paid the expenses and left surplus of
s., 1T. The establishment received dur
ing the year over SOL, 900, and as the
fees all come from the ingenious classes
of our citizens it is shown that they are
active and able to meet the cost of the
papers and examination necessary to es-
tablish their claims Over twenty thous-
and applications for patents, reissues and
designs were made during the year, of
which nearly sixteen thousand were sue
cessfu1. The trade mark applications
were four hundred and seventy-fve on
ly, a small amount when we consider
the great activity in manufactures and
the special excellence in many of them
which entitle the owners of the processes
or manufactures to special protection
against dishonest competition by others
in trade

Present indications hu n.


Present indications by no means
point to psaceful solution of the
Virginius case although but a few
days since the news was of a nature
to warrant the belief that the de-
mands of our Government would be
be promptly acceded to by the Span
tsh authorities-thus averting the
necessity for resort to arms to en-
force them But later intelligence
is to the effect that the situation is
still regarded as perilous, and that
our Governments making thorough
preparations for an emergency,
which it is clear, it deems imminent.
From Washington special tele-
gram to the Cincinnati Commercial,
we take the following, which throws
important light upon the present
status of the case:

The wheat exports of California dur
ing the year ending November 1st have
about equalled in value the gold pro-
duct of the State. The quantity is in
excess of that of any previous year, and
the wheat has been sold to England
mostly for gold values. The balance of
trade between California and the Eastern
States is in favor of the Eastern States,
but in the trade with England the bal
ance is in favor of California. Manu-
facturers in that State, however, are
making inroads upon the market for
goods of Eastern manufacture. Almost
all the industrial products are sold for
gold, and purchasers are becoming more
and more concentrated upon local man
ufacturers and those of gold dealing
countries.
