Japan has ceded its portion of the
island Of Sagaholen to Russia.
Orders have been issued by the Ger
man government to treat as a punishable Of
fense the collection OF money for the benefit
of the priests who have been subjected to
legal penalties.
The Catholic bishops of Prussia have
decided to dissolve the religious orders which
the state tolerates, rather than see them sub
jected to governmental super vision.
DIR. CybichOwsky, the Sufragan
bishop Of Gnesen, Germany, who consecrated
the holy oil on Maunday-T Thursday, has been
convicted Of Illegally exercising episcopal
functions and sentenced to nine months i'm
prisonment. Herren ZIokowsky and Floeinsky,
clergy of the cathedral, who distributed the
oil, have been sentenced to fine of twenty
five marks each.
It is reported from Paris that the
French government positively contradicts the
assertion that Germany has recently made
representations of a hostile tendency. The
same dispatch contains a statement, believed
to be semi-ofiicial, that no cause Of conflict
exists between Germany and France, and ad-
vices from all the capitals of Europe are of
the same tenor that pacific counsels are every
where in the ascendant.
The London Times, in its leading
editorial, Gays: I'VE believe the car is re-
solved to hold most decided language in favor
of the maintenance of peace and to use every
effort to put stop to the present alarm. A
few days Will probably bring forth official dis
chalmers of recent reports. It is possible it
Will be said that there Is nothing to justify
French apprehension, but there should be no
mistake this point. As long as the present
conditions remain there must be uneasiness,
even danger. An unforeseen incident, an
outburst OF jealousy may precipitate a rupture.
The czar is unable to guarantee that France
will not attack Germany within a few years.
Gigantic ornaments are a mutual menace.
While they exist, it is beyond the power of
even imperial peace makers to auay appre-
hensions"

More Whisky Frauds Unearthsd.

The whisky frauds are still receiving
atteI ton by the treasury department,
and Solicitor Wilson is continually un-
earthing new frauds. Further record
evidence has been discovered against the
Union Copper distillery at Chicago, and
$50 barrels of spirits seized at their
works. Three hundred barrels were
also seized belonging to Bevis & Fraser,
in st. Louis, fresh proof having been
obtained against them.
Photographic copies of the internal
revenue returns are being made at the
treasury department and forwarded to
the officers in the different cities to aid
them in substantiating their charges.
Among those made was one from Anger
at Cincinnati, certifying that a certain
number of barrels of spirits had been
emptied and the stamps destroyed in
accordance with the law, and upon fur
ther search the same lot of spirits was
found in Chicago in the original pack
ages, thus cOnclusivelV showing the
cOllusion of the gauger with the distil-
Iers. On April 80, Mr.. Wetson called
upOn the collectors of internal revenue
in different localities to furnish infOr-
nation concerning transactions in their
districts, but up to last night very few
of them had responded, and to-day the
secretary of the treasury called upon
them for an explanation of their non
compliance, and for an immediate reply.
He is determined that all orders of this
nature shall be obeyed, or the collectors
must take the consequences.
A large number of communications
have been received from different sec
tions from parties offering to furnish
proof of fraud, end the secretary has
directed all such to furnish the proof
to the proper officers, and if found val
uable and used, the parties furnishing
it will be remunerated.
Information has been received at
Washington that the distillers in Mil
waukee have called upon those of
St Louis to combine with them in pro
curing the services of Hon. Matt. Car
penter to obtain their release. In re-
sponse to il, Secretary Bristow sent
dispatches to the supervisors at Chi
cago, St. Louis and Milwaukee, inform
ing them that the best legal assistance
will be furnished them IN their efforts
to convict those under arrest, and the
government is confident of establishing
the guilt of the parties.

cabin and !, 200 steerage passengers.
The joiner work of the vessel alone cost
S65, 900.
ONE of the dangers to which Eu-
ropean tourists are exposed, is the pres
ence, this season, of an unusual guam
tiy of enormous icebergs and ice-felds
in the Atlantic. Many vessels have
latterly taken the extreme southern
route to Liverpool, Hamburg and other
points, on this account. The steamer
LEIPZIG, which arrived at Baltimore on
Saturday, although she came by the
southern steamer track, ran alongside
OF an iceberg two hundred feet high
and five hundred feet long.
AMONG the list of cabin passengers on
the ill-fated Schiller, as published in
the New York Herald are seven from
Georgia, of whom only one, Marx
Cohen, of Montezama, Ga, is reported
saved. Those lost are g. G., NJ. W.
and Miss Jeanie Leonhardt, of Augusta,
M. Harrison and A. Waterman, of
@-N %A@44o sA4ASg anu LACILlauu ODIlkAg VI
Macon. We notice but one other name
from any southern state, Joseph Vile,
of Gre ensboro, N. G. No southern
passengers appear in the steerage list.
STATISTICS have recently been publish
ed showing the condition of the church
of England. Since the year 1900 and
before 1872 the church of England had
built 3,204 churches and rebuilt 925,
making 4,219 in all. In 1881 the num-
ber of benifices was over 10000; now
there are over 1920, with an annual
income of $8, ,267, ,23O. England had
5000 parsonages in 1885; and there are
II, 900. From 1889 to 1872 there were
expended on parish schools about g.
100000.
GREAT BRITAIN pays $40, 100000 for
the annual maturing interest upon her
national debt. This has been done for
sixty years. In that time she has paid
her debt twice over, but yet it remains
in full vigor at its old amount. What
a moth is interest Yet this is what we
are doing in this country. All our
greenback Indebtedness without interest
we are putting upon the people with
interest, which already amounts to more
than one-third of the expenditures of
the government.
THE San Francisco Chronicle calls
the attention of immigrants to Califor-
MIA, that they will have to contend
against the cheap labor of the large
Chinese population on the Pacific coast,
and consoles itself with the reflection
that Caucasian labor will come off vic
toriOus and drive the Mongolian popu-
lation back to China. This may be
true, but the record is that the China
man Will underbid any class of laborers
for work, and the existence of a large
Mongolian element in California should
be duly considered by men without
capital who have caught the Pacific
coast fever and mediate migration.

Singular Imitation of Fish Motion.

It is now proposed to propel ship
by a set of machinery initiating the
movements of the dorsaI fin Of the sea-
horse (HippOcampUs). Mr.. Holds
worth remarks that "they generally
maintain a nearly erect attitude, sup
porting themselves IN the water by a
peculiar uudulating movement of the
dOrsaI fin" and the late DIR. Gray also
remarked of them that ''they swim with
facility, but not very rapidly and they
seem to move chiefly by the action of
the dorsal and PectoraI fms. The
former Is fully expanded when they
move, and IN very rapid motion, the
action being a kind of wave commencing
at the front end and continued through
it's whole length continually repeated,
so as TO form a kind of gcrew propeller.
This undulatOry motion of the fin is
produced by the lateral movement, in a
given constant order, of the spines
which go to compose 1t; the movement
being at right angles to the long axis of
the body, and consequently at right
angles to the direction in which the fish
travels. 4 delicate membrane intervenes
between each two spines, which pArtici-
pates in their changes in position, and
forms the inclined planes above spoken
of. Mr.. @ Becker, Of London, has con-
structed for the royal Institution boat
beneath the keel of which IS arranged a
series of rods, to which an undulatOry
movement similar to that of the dOrsal
fin of the hippObampus is communicated
by means of cIockwork. The rods wave
backwards and forwards, beginning at
the first and continuing to the last at
right angles to the length of the boat,
and propeI it along by a slow motion as
in the case of the fish.
