Will there be a Religious War /?

From widely separated parts of the
Mohammedan world we hear of the fa-
natics calling for holy war.
In central Asia the Mohammedans of
Khokand have been trying to resist the
advance of Russia by stimulating q
holy war and in European Turkey,
according to the London Times, the
agitation ior war of this kind has
taken strong hold of the Mohammedan
population.
On all sides the Mohammedans see
how the Christian powers are closing in
upon such remnants of their ancient
dominions as are yet left to them, closing
in upon Turkey itself, as well as upon
Egypt, and Persia, and Turkestan, and
the North African kingdoms. During
the last century the political authority
of Mohammedanism has ceased to exist
over many millions of its subjects, from
the Indies to the Straits of Gibraltar !;
and nowhere, except in some parts of
China, has the sword of Islam been able
to assume the aggressive.
But that faith cagnot make success
full stand against the forces of Christen-
dom, and the outbreak of a holy war In
Turkey would soon be brought to an
end in the obliteration of the Sultan s
empire in Europe. True enough, if
the fires of Mohammedan fanaticism
could be kindled over the Musselnan
world, their exiting oishment would in
volve frightfu amount of bloodshed ;
but cooperation between the Moham-
medan powers of Asia, Europe, and
Africa is an impossibiIity and any
holy war, however extensive, could be
but series of isolated massacres.
The British Government, which has
millions Of Mohammedan subjects in its
East Indian possessions, and the inter.
ests of which are complicated with those
of several Mohammedan countries, is
doubtless more apprehensive than any
other European power over the holy war
agitation. To it, the Sultan is more i'm
portant as the head of the Mohammedan
faith than as the sovereign of CONSTANT
nople --NeoU York San.

A StunendOus Sehe,ne.

Exit NJ. de Lesseps, enter Mr.. Spald-
g, OF America We have been In the
abit of regarding the construction OF
le Suez canal as gigantic achievement,
1T Mr. SpaldiDg has conceived a geo
.aphical enterprise which fairly takes
le's breath away. 1t is neither more
Or less than the turning of the waters of
le Black sea into the Caspian, thereby
3nnecting the latter with the Mediterra-
ean, bringing back the volume of water
the Caspian to an equality with that
hich existed thousands of years ago.
he American engineer, who is well and
vorably known to his own country, is
} far in earnest about his scheme
lat he has already commended it to the
ttention of Russia, and his paper Is
.ow in course of translation and publica-
ion into the Russian language by Col.
Muller, of the Russian War minister's
taft The plan has also been submitted
20 the President of the Imperial Geo
graphical and Statistical Commission.
If the work conceived by Mr.. Spalding
could be successfully accomplished, one
great result would be to bring WITHIN
the area of civilization and European In
fuences a large portion of the Russian
Empire which is now inaccessible, and
which possesses vast wealth of timber
and other resources. In addition to this,
the large tract of land In the vicinity of
the Caspian sea, which In recent ages has
become barren and sterile, might be re-
stored to its former fertile condition.
It certainly behooves Russia to give her
best consideration to this scheme
gigantic and hopeless as it may appear
upon the first glance-for Mr.. Spalding
extends to her warning to the effect
that Through the operation of natural
laws a great desert is In process of fer
nation in the midst of the Russian En-
pire. "-LOndO7a Echo.

Age of the World.

Sir W. Thomson, it seems, has con-
cluded from different lines of argument
that the age of the earth, at least as q
body of material cool enough to be hab-
table, cannot be much greater than q
hundred millions of years. But much
lesser limit of time has been advanced
by Prof. TAFT, who thinks the world is
about ten millions of years old

A Novel Surgical Operation.

The broken arm-bone of patient in
an hospital at Troy would not heal, al
though the usual modes of cure were
tried. Then he was put under the infu-
ence of ether, an incision four inches
long was made parallel to the bone, and
the broken part exposed. The ends
were fitted together after being sawed
on the surface, holes were drilled, and
silver wire put through. The healing
thereafter was rapid.

It has been known for week or two
past that counterfeit railroad tickets
have been in circulation here, and that
some roads leading north and east have
been victimized. The matter has been
in the hands Of the detectives for some
days, and information was obtained
which led to the arrest last night of JEFF
ferson a. Brolaslki for being engaged in
making and altering these counterfeits.
Brolaski is clerk In the Illinois and ST.
Louis Bridge Company Office here, and
very respectfully connected in this city.
Another man, named Edwin M. Baker,
who was recently in Jail at Chicago, is
also implicated in the matter, but eluded
arrest. In the room of Brolaski and
Baker were found plates, stamping
machines, dies, ink, ETC., and about
10000 worth of bogus tickets. These
latter are coupon tickets, from Law
renee. Kansas, to New York, over the
Missouri Pacific, and Chicago and Alton,
the Lake Shore aud Michigan Southern,
and the Erie roads; also, from Topeka,
Kansas, to Philadelphia, over the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Sante Fe, the Missouri
Pacific, the Ohio and Mississippi, the
Little Miami, Columbus and Pittsburg,
and the Pennsylvania roads. Other par
ties than these mentioned seem to be
connected with the swindle, but, as the
evidence against them is meager, their
names are withheld.
Howard Brolaski, prominent shoe
merchant, and E. I. Gardner, an en-
ploye, were arrested this evening,
charged with implication in the forging
of railroad tickets. st. Louis Repu6li-
