LEVEL IT.-The King arose from his chair
behind the stove in the Bore Room of the
Armsby, not Long King, but the King of the
ponies, who had been taking pony, and in
endeavoring to cross the room found things a
little uneven. He looked at the proprietor
and said: "You made big fuss when you
vas fxin' up this place, (hic) without no
collar on and your (hic) pants in your boots.
Butter say, why didn't you make this here
(hic) floor level while you was about it; with
your pant (hic) boots, and-say-er (hic) level
this floor for your guests, you know, will yer!"
And the great critic who wished for level
deal departed in dire disgust.

Vienna, Feb. 15.-It is quite possible
the Gar will succeed in concluding ne
gotiations with Turkey before the con-
ference meets, thus creating the de-
sired fat accompi, but after the dec
larations of the British and Austrian
governments she can scarcely expect
that such fat accompi will be uncon-
ditionally recognized. AS regards this
government, it has not omitted in its
confidential communications to st. Pc
tersburg to point out the clauses in the
preliminary stipulations signed at Adri-
anople which affect European and Aus
trian interests, in the matter of which
accomplished facts could scarcely be
recognized. No written notes have
been exchanged on the subject, but for
all that the Russian government is fully
aware how far such fats accomplis
effected by treaty with Turkey are
likely to he recognized by this country

Over a Big Loss of Real Estate.

Over Big Loss of Real Estate.
Chicago, Feb. 15.-Land Commits
sioner Williamson, at Washington, has
given decision affecting the owner
ship of large and very valuable tract
of land in the heart of the city, which
causes considerable excitement here
1t is in the case of Thos. b. Valentine
and David W. Kean, to locate scrip on
the lake front and Dearborn Park. 1t
embraces the lands lying between Ran
dolph street and the centre line of Mad
ison street and extending from Michi-
gan avenue east to the lake. 1t was
surveyed and owned by the United
States, which granted to Kean and Val
entine the power to locate land any
where they chose. They located here
on the ground in question, or at least
such is the decision of the Land Com
missioner. An appeal has been taken
to the Secretary of the Interior, and
unless he overrules this decision very
important, although unbuilt portion of
Chicago, will be lost to this city, which
claims to have II clear title to it now,
and will go into private hands.

A TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.
President Hayes on the Emancipation
Proclamation

President Hayes on the Emancipation
Proclamation
Washington, Feb. 15.-On the occa-
sion yesterday of the presentation of
steel engraving of Carpenters picture
of the ''Signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation" to Howard University,
Fred Douglas made speech. in which
he said, among the faults of his people
were their self-indulgence, love of ease
and improvidence. They must learn
to spend their earnings judiciously. If
one can't get up, he will be helped
down, They had a fair chance to get
up. The negro was on his way to
Congress, and he thought that if the
negro could stand Congress, Congress
ought to stand the negro. The colored
man had been forced up by abnormal
conditions, but they were coming up
gradually by their own exertions.
President Hayes made a speech, in
which he said: 81 quite agree with all
that has been said; yet it occurred to
hio ehoe DouSido ulduc d llOucSI
estimate of his race when he
said ''they don't build ships; they
don't build the domes you see, but
who did build them? Such men
as Adams and Sumner made their
fame by their speeches under that
dome, and the speech your colored
brother has made us is better than
making domes, but that is not my mes
sage. would say the wisdom, the
Righteousness and the grandeur of
Abraham Lincoln's act of emancipa-
tion no man will deny. That it has
conferred infinite blessings on our
country, on both races and on the
world very few question. This estimate
of the act and of its results will not be
changed by the good conduct or the
bad conduct of either race; but it is
said that the greatness of the blessing
conferred on the colored race depends
on their conduct. What they most
need is what Burns calls 'the glorious
privilege of being independent What
this requires is a willingness to labor;
and the prudence and self-denial to
save the fruits of labor. My young
colored friends, let this be among your
good resolutions: Il will work and L
will save to the end, that may become
independent IF" The speech was en-
Enthusiastically received.

No, CANADA does not like Sitting
Bull, and does not want to captiyate
him. Lord Dufferin says in his mes
sage to the Dominion Parliament, re-
ferring to Sitting Bulls people: The
United States Government made a
friendly but unsuccessful attempt to in
duce these Indians to return to their
reservations. 1t is to be hoped that
such arrangements may yet be made as
may lead to their permanent and peace
full settlement, and thus relieve Canada
of source of uneasiness and heavy ex-
penditure. The British system of
treating the Indians is so superior to
the American system, that it would
seem the CaDadians ought to be glad of
testing its merits on a specimen like
Sitting Bull.

THE Turks have sufficient energy left
to threaten the Greeks and Montene-
grins, and perhaps to cut a few throats
in out of the way places, but In the
presence Of the Russians they appear
to be as thoroughly whipped as their
harshest enemies could desire. They
have marched out of the fortresses on
the Danube; they have evacuated the
defenses of Constantinople, and they
even seem seem anxious not only to
make peace, but to enter into an al
lance with Russia against the rest of
the world, including their good friends
in England. They will not have to do
this, for Russia is as courteous and
diplomatic as usual, though a triHe
more lofty in her tone, and the chances
are that she will carry her points with
out going to war again to do it. But
in the conference it will be very con-
yenient for Russia to have Turkey on
her side.

Another Cremation.

| Anotucr SrcrnatiOn.
Washington, Feb. 15.-The train
bearing the remains of Mrs. Ben Pitt
man, of Cincinnati, destined for Le-
moyne's crematory, arrived here shortly
after II O'Clock this morning. Mr..
Pittman, the husband of the deceased
lady, and Mr.. Plympton, of Cincinnati,
were the only parties who accompanied
the corpse. The casket was placed in
hearse which proceeded to the fur
mace. The cremation began about two
O'Clock and occupied two hours. The
ceremony was conducted in strictly
private manner, no one being allowed
access to the crematory building except
Mr.. Pittman and the parties in chage.
The fire, which was started yesterday
morning at $3.50, had raised heat of
1200 degrees at 1870 this morning, and
the beginning of the ceremony was reg
ulated as to time by the condition of
the furnace. A large number of for
eign newspapers are represented, and a
good deal of disappointment is mani
Tested at the strong stand taken by DIR.
Lemoyne against the admission of the
press.
The arrangements were similar to
those used in the incineration of Baron
De Palm. The body was reduced in IS
minutes. 1t will require 80 hours for
the retort to cool. Mr.. Pittman Is
more than satisfied with the expert
ment. To-day's experiment has con-
vinced those present that cremation is
the quicket, most economic and sani-
tary way of treating the dead.

LOUIS SIANA.
The Anderson Case.

New Orleans, Feb. 15.-The grounds
for new trial in the Anderson case
were gone over to-day, there being new
evidence Of an unfair trial, the express
sion of opinion by juror, Littlefield's IS
absence and the absence of other i'm
portant witnesses. The evidence ad-
duced was conclusive. Senator Zach
arie testified that he believed Anderson
was not present at the opening of the
Vernon parish returns. The defense
questioned Zacharie and the court
stopped them. The defense claimed
they would prove that the assistant
attorney general had stated to Senator
Zacharie that Littleield was not put
on the stand because his evidence
would acquit Anderson. The court,
however, would not allow this.

IT Is said that about two months ago
Pho Mono told his attendants one morn
ing that he had dreamed of having
white bread before him, which he was
obliged to leave for others. AS he told
the dream, an austere-faced ecclesiastic
was seen approaching, and Cardinal
Panebianco knelt before the Pope.
"Ah," said the Pope, there is the white
bread (pane bianco) that dreamed OF. :"
But the New York Herald calls the at
tention of those who believe that Pane
bianco is to be the new Pope to the re-
mark that dreams always go by CONTRA
ries.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-The Pontifical
requiem mass and sermon at the cathe-
dral, this forenoon, in honor Of the de-
ceased Pontiff, was attended by an i'm
mense concourse of people. Arch
bishop Purcell read the mass. The
altar and shrines were appropriately
draped with emblems of grief for the
great dead. The catafalque, draped in
black, and surrounded with green
plants, occupied a position Immediately
in front of the altar. High Mass was
was also read in other Catholic churches
in the city.

The reports of "stormy session.
of the College of Cardinals may be
taken with some allowance. 1t is
doubtful if any reporters were present
at the session, or that, if there had
been any storm, the Cardinals would
have informed the reporters of it. Fur
thermore, there is no reason why the
Conclave should be adjourned to Malta,
or to any other place, the Italian gov
ernment manifesting no disposition to
interfere with its freedom of action,
and however serious the differences of
opinion among the Cardinals as to the
most available candidate, or as to the
policy which the new Pope should rep
resent, it is not likely that the public
will be invited to take part in the con-
troyersv.

Derby's Desperate Wall.

London, Feb. 15.-Lord Derby's pro-
test against Russian occupation of Con-
stantinople is published. 1t is very
decidedly worded. 1t demonstrates
that the entry of the Russian troops
would be violation of the armistice,
and might provoke disorders, causing
the very danger to Christians which the
Russian government deprecates. 1t
concludes: Her Majesty's government
cannot acknowledge that the dispatch
of British ships to Constantinople has
any bearing on the entry of Russian
troops into the city, which latter meas
ure they consider uncalled for by any
circumstances of military or other ne
cessity, and the consequences of which
may be most disastrous to the whole
population of the city.
Lord Derby has also telegraphed Lord
LOTUS that he expressed to Count
Schouvaloff the governments honest
hope that the Russian troops would not
make any movement toward Gallipolli,
or any movement of a nature to threat
en- the communications of the fleet, as
any such movement would be regarded
in England as compromising the safety
of the fleet, and in the excited state of
public feeling he could not answer for
the consequences, which might he most
