POLISH SECRET SCHOOLS.

Itappears, says the London Examiner,
that the Russian government have dis
covered the existence of number Of &C.
cret elementary schools In Poland, sup
ported ut the expense of the communes,
In which the Polish language and his
tory from Polish point OF view were
exclusively taught. All these schools
have been closed, and the communes and
teachers heavily fined. Atthe same time
we hear that thirty-one Polish estates
have been put up to auction on account
Of arrears Of taxes. Only orthodox Rus
SLAMS and evangelical Germans were
still far from being Panslavonicized.
This Is, probably. one Of the reasons
why NM. AksakoR and Jlovayski are
about to publish new PAnslavonic
journal, to be entitled the Bussian Ga
zette.

In the Fall.

IN. Y. Times.1
BALrrMoRE. Md, Aug. D,--The authori-
ties of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
have had no confidence In the rumor OF
o renewal Of the strike tomorrow, but to
satisfy themselves they to-day sum
moned to headquarters number
of the oldest and most loyal OF
the employees among the train
hands, Including engineers, firemen
and brakemen, and questioned them
on the subject. The men were ttnHnis
NOUS In denying that any such move
ment WIS contemplated to their knowl-
edge. and the engineers, all members OF
the Brotherhood, were especially en-
pbatic in their statements that the So
eiety had not directed strike. The
chief officials Of the road arc satisfied
that they will have no further trouble
with their hands at present, but they
seem to share in the general apprehen-
sion that there may be renewed disturb
ances in the fall.
Vice President King was to-day gues-
toned as to the truth OF the reports
that President Garrett intends to resign
his position. He authorized the most
positive contradiction OF all such state
ments. stating that Mr.. Garrett has not
contemplated any such action. nor has
1t been urged upon him by any Of his
directors or stockholders, as has been
rumored. 'They are satisfied" said
Mr.. King, with his management, and
there will be no change of administra-
ton J"

GRINDING THE MlLLERs.
fBoston Globe.1

A threatened tax on -four OF very
curious kind has como to light. There
Is process called high grinding In use
In most Of the flour mills In the country,
which is said to be essential to the best
results In reducing wheat to. -four. It
has long been In use In Europe, and
was introduced here In 1871, and the
machinery In use In all the great mills
is adapted to 1t. A ring Of Spectators
In Washington Is said to have got hold
Ut an old patent on the process,
quietly had 1t reissued, got up d
case In which the defendant
was man Of straw, carried 1t to the
Supreme Court withoutany real defense
hrving been made, and got o decision In
support OF it's validity. Now suits have
been brought for Infringement against
the leading flour manufacturers OF the
country, including the JEWELS, Of
Brooklyn, the Haxalls, Of Richmond,
and @. @. Washburn, OF Minneapolis,
and the holders OF the patent propose to
grant licenses to millers for the modest
sum of $4,000 for each run Of stone. This
would impose q tax of 1886, 000,O00 on
The flour business OF the country, which
would, Of course, come out Of the con-
sumers In the end. It is unnecessary to
say that vigorous fight will be made
against this imposition, and u special
act OF Congress cancelling the patent
will be asked for next winter.

The Dominion Anxious to be Itid of Him,
and sherman wants Him Hack.
NEW York World

New York World.
WASHINGTON, Aug. o.-Some weeks ago
q communication was received by SEQ
rotary Evarts from the Canadian gov
eminent, calling his attention to the
presence OF the hostile Sioux, under the
leadership OF Sitting Bull, on Canadian
soil, and urging that something be done
by the United States government to In
duce the gentle savages to return to
the southern side of the border.
The Canadian dispatches had u
rather naive tone, one OF the officials
observing that he supposed that the
United States government would be glad
to have the fugitive Sioux return to
their soil. Mr.. Evarts referred the dis
patches to the War Department and to
the Interior Department. Secretary
McCrary ut once forwarded O copy to
Gen. Sherman for his views. His reply,
dated July 1e. was, received to-day.
Sherman writes q highly interesting let
cooperate with the government OF
the Dominion In inducing the
savages to return at once, IL possible.
He says they are about 1900 In num-
Der, and are encamped short distance
from the border. They are In misera-
BILE condition, and he says there Ia great
danger that IL they are not brought
peaceably back to our territory they
will soon create state Of things on thfs
border similar to that which prevails on
the Mexican frontier. He says that he
has talked the matter over with Gen.
Terry, and Terry earnestly unites with
him In recommending that our govern
ment send a commissioner as soon as
possible to treat with them and induce
them to come back he also suggests
that military force be sent up from the
fort In Montana to meet the Indians
and escort them back to Fort Buford.
Gen. Sherman thinks that while the
Canadian government will be re-
sponsible for depredations which
they may commit IL they ef-
feet permanent Judgment on
the British territory and make raids
across the border. it will be much bet
ter to get them back IL possible, and
then keep them under the eye OF our
military forces. His letter Is dated at
the Tongue river. He alludes to the
death of Custer and his men as a great
loss, due, he says, "to our under. esti-
mating the Indian forces" It Is proba-
BILE that Sherman's suggestions will be
adopted. Hon. David Mills, the Cana
dian Secretary Of the Interior, has been
here to-day In conference with Secre-
tary Schurz and the President. The
policy to be pursued by our government
will be settled at the Cabinet meeting
tomorrow.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS IN IOWA.
[Dubnqe Herald.]

We have hints and plain statements
from various sources that the Repub
lican victory in Iowa, as in many other
States. is rather uncertain this year.
We certainly hope 80, and believe that
IL thorough, determined work is done
can be done as rendering a Republican
victory an impossibility, and we make
this statement after locking over the
whole field.
To begin with, there will be two OPP
position, sorehead or any other kind Of
tickets they may be termed-the tenn
peranee and greenbaek, of which nei-
ther will draw Democratic votes, unless
it be In very few cases. These tickets
are gotten up in opposition to the Re-

port from voters Of that party. In one

Base Bail.

The prospect of good game OF ball attracted
& crowd of several hundred spectators to the
grounds Of the Washington Base Ball Club, to
witness game between the Washington club and
the well-known Coumbia nine.
Enthusiastic applause was called forth by fine
displays OF fielding etc., which we're of frequent
occurrence during the game. The namesakes of
the imm arial George proved too many for their
opponents by score Of nine to five.

THE TURKISH COMMANDERS.

Abdul Keritn suffered from q painful
disease and was very fat. He also had
an inordinate appetite and swallowed
vast masses OF food 80 that for several
hours daily he was quite unable to turn
TO account the little activity he pos
sessed. As to his military qualifications
they could hardly be better summed UP
than III the bitter exclamation Of the
Sultan when he heard that the Russians
were passing. the Danube as they
half.armed militia, could keep him out
OF Alexnatz for four months and be,
with every advantage, could not hold
my Danube line for twenty-fouT hours. ~
From the state Of feeling betokened In
this speech the Sultan rallied little un-
der Abdul Kerim's assurances that he
had a plan of defense and must be allow
ed time to work 1t out. When the Bal
kan was scaled by the Russian dra-
goons, the Suitan's remark was "Plan,
plan 1t will be plan till the Russians
are In Btamboul, and then whore will
the plan be?" Abdul KERN WIS re-
moved without delay.
Mehemet Ali, the present commander
in.chief, Is of German descent. Born
In Magdeburg-w here his father, named
Detroit, member OF the colony Of
French refugees, worked as an artisan
In rather poor circumstances until
about two years ago-he left his native
town when quite O boy with the inten.
ton Of becoming sailor. On one of
his voyages, whilst his ship was lying at
anchor In Constantinople, young De.
troit, afraid Of punishment for some
small misdeed, fled into the town and
hid himself In the konak OF wealthy
pasha, who took such u liking to the
bright boy that he adopted him, and
had him educated by the best tutors in
STEAMBOAT. Mehemet Ali turned Mus
sulman, entered the army and was sent
to the military academy at Rankaldi,
where he WAS graduated with the high.
French fluently, and, though only about
forty.six years OF age, has had eonsid-
cradle experience. He first came into
notice when. as Vail Of Janina, he
purged Thessaly Of brigandage. 10
the Servian war he had command Of
the Novi- Bazar division, his mission
being to prevent any. junction between
the Servians and the Montenegrins.
Latterly, in command Of the same
corps, he has been operating against
the Montenegrins, where there was
more climbing than fighting to do.
