At A DEAD LocK.-The situation in
Europe now looks more complicated
than ever. The attitude of Russia and
England toward each other is one of
menace, and the belief 10 everywhere
gaming ground that collision is inev.
itsble. Russians purpose to gain pos
session of the DArdanelles 10 too deep
seated to be easily turned, and Eng
lsnd's'grssp 10 too tenatious to be loos-
ened lightly. Constantinople has been
the objective prize Of centuries OF
scheming, Of lighting and Of diplomacy.
1t Is puzzling problem to solve how
the dispute can be settled without .
hamiliating recession on the part of one
nation ..or the other. whish can hardly
be looked for without decisive trial
OF strength. England may be polsroon
enough TO surrender her dominion in
the east without striking q blow to
maintain it. but ii is doubtful. TO say
the least.

EUROPE.

BELGRADE, March l9-It is officially
stated that Servia will not recognize
the terms of peace until confirmed by
the congress.
LONDON, March ia Vienna dis.
patch says tho dead lock between Rus
STA and England is complete Austria
and Germany oppose England's de-
mands. Austria has been confidentisllv
informed of the terms of peace aud APP
proves them.
Chicago. March 20 - The Times
London special says the situation is
unchanged. There is still deadlock
between Russia and England on the
basis of Congressional discussion. The
impression is gaining ground that diff
ferencss are insuperable, and many con.
fdsntially spprehend that war is the
only outcome. Public feeling at St..
Petersburg Is represented as all one
way in favor of hostilities against Eng
land. A telegram from there Gays :
The Government seems yielding to the
popular clamor. and that there is reason
to fear the worst. The British Govern
ment evidently fears the result of the
dead lock may be an armed collision.
The feet has been reinforced, and
everything is being prepared for in
slant action in case Of necessity.
LONDON. March 2O.-Hobart Pasha
has invited the principal leaders of the
instruction at Macrinitza to meet him
for parley. with view to suspen-
sion of hostilities in Thessaly. His
letter was addressed to the chiefs of the
mslcontent party. They replied that
if Hobart Pasha wished an interview
with the Chief of the Provisional Gov
eminent of the Province they would
send ENJOYS to meet him.
BERLIN. March 20.-The North and
South German newspapers express
great anxiety about Austria's future.
Russia is buying large quantities of
salt petre and torpedoes.
VIENNA, March 20.-It is said in
official circles that England has no
cause to go to war without first going
to the congress. If she does she will
have the disapprobation of Germany
and Austria. If England controls the
congress, and the Russian policy is
thwartsd, ell hopes of an Anglo-Aus.
trian understanding must be abandon
ed. The Berlin Cabinet hold the same
view.

NEW YORK, March 20-A Rio Ja-
metro letter says the British steamer
Astarss stranded at Castillos on the
3lst of January, during the night. The
storm increased, and at daylight only
tops of masts were seen above the
water, with seven or eight persons
clinging to them. No help could be
rendered because of high sea. The sea
continued rough until the 5th, when
the boat was got to an islet near the
wreck, but nothing was found except
purifying corpses. Capt. Boyne and
thirty of the crew persisted, only two
men being ssved-Wm. Parsons, first
mate, and Donald Campbell, third en-
gineer.

"TABULE RrsU THE
Senatorial career of Mr.. Bones, of Ala
media, who constituted the Working
mems wing of the California Legisls-
ture, and the FIST fruits of victory OF
the labor agitation in that State. has
proved q roaring farce. Like other
small ninorities against Superior odds,
he has allowed himself to be wheedlej
and backed down by numbers, and has
weakly voted with the bloated monopo-
lists for every iniquitous job they have
get up. Not even the omipons hang
mans moose which the tyrant Dennis
kearney held dangling over bis head
with the terrible threat that he would
stretch his neck - the penalty of de-
Walton, evon of q hair g. breadth, from
the chalked- out line Of his duty, seems
to have had sufficient moral influence"
to impart the requisite consistency to
his back Bone 1t is not, therefore,
wondered at, that in the mass conven.
ton of his constituents, called for his
arraignment, as our dispatches relate,
some held him to be honest but incom-
petent, while some denounced him as
an old fool others held that he had
disgraced himself and ought to resign,
and others still insisted on his execu-
tioR in accordance with the understood
conditions of his election, in the event
of his proving weak kneed. The truth
Is, Bones, though strong jointed man
enough, as his name indicates. was
really elected by the railroad company,
in whom his pecuniary interests con-
ter, and to whom he is beholden largely,
at least, for his livelihood and. that of
his family. 1t is said the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company elect whom
they please and defeat whom they
please. The living of 1900 Califor-
mans are drawn from that road. Even
the blatant Dennis Kesrney himself is
pleased to become the eulogist of the
railroad and the advocate of its direc-
tors. This impeachment OF Bones is
likely to prove tempest ina teapot.
They hardly know themselves what
they want, or how to go to work to
get it.

seems TO authorize the tender at par In
payment OF debts where specific con-
tract naming the kind Of coin has not
been previously made, of coin On
which there is an alleged discount o (
eight per cent. below the maximum
standard of gold. This, if it be SO, is
certainly hardship; but in the adjust

ships and sacrifice Involved. as the cost
of the maintenance of the national
integrity, mutuality is the reasonable
rule, and an equitable distribution upon
the shoulders of all the benefciaries Is
the most that any party can Justly

What is the position of the govern
ment toward those who happen to be
in the situation of payers of money in
stead Of psyeess By having engaged
to pay . specific nominal value of cur
rent money at some future date, at
time when money was, at say 10 cents
per 100. the government by passing the
resumption act. and bringing up green
backs. has obliged them, in effect. to
psy IS cents instead of 10; or, which
is the same thing, takes from all such
persons 90 per cent. or more strictly
near "a per cent, on the amount
they owe, and gives the same amount
10 the parties to whom it is payable.
The government is not to blame for
this. It could not be helped. Re-
sumption of specie payments is an in
exorable necessity,-the more especially
for the benefit and security of the So
called debtor class than any other

only that these harsh necessities must

ship. TO reflect that his less fortunate
private debtor has been discounted all

The very fact that such fluctuations
and destructive changes of value are

for doing away entirely with the paper

Thin Out the Fruit.

Every fruit grower who has had
any experience knows that in a fruit
full year it is advisable to thin out the
fruit. In nearly every portion of the
country where fruit is successfully
grown, there is every prospect Of a
prolific yield, and now is the time in
the latitude OF the lakes to remove
from the trees the excess of the crops.
II tree is loaded half the young
fruit may be removed with great ad :
vantage TO what is left. The remain
ing fruit will be worth more money,
cost less in gathering and marketing,
and find far reader sale than Il crop
that endangers the limbs, and is infe-
rior in size and appearance. Espe-
cially should a portion Of an eXces.
sive crop be removed from young
trees, which sometimes, and indeed
very often, over bear. The health of
the tree is impaired by overbearing,
and the fruit is not as fair in size or
quality, aswhen tits judiciGusly thin
ed out. We have seen fine thrifty
young trees almost ruined by over
bearing, the limbs borne down and
sometimes broken of, and the vigor
of the tree so impaired that it never
fully recovered The prudent and
experienced Orchsrdist never per-
mits his yourg trees to tax their
strength in that way. He knows that
the injury sustained by his trees from
excessive bearing represents serious
loss of money in the future. Look to
the trees, and ii they are overloaded,
thin out the excess.

Cutt1efish Casting It's Ink.

Mr.. Frank Buckland, the we'll
known English naturalist, describes
in Land and Water his good fortune
in seeing under favorable conditions,
a cuttlefish casting it's ink. Three or
four specimens of cuttles live in the
Westminster Aquarium. One of
them in passing the window of his
tank evidently mistook the naturalist
for foe. $780," writes Mr.. Buck
land, Gas no swan along he elected
from his ink bag jet of what looked
like cloud Of the most intensely
black smoke that ever came forth
from factory chimney. Instantly
tho water lost all transparency. Mr..
Cuttlefish then went into the middle
of the water he hai 30 artfnlly made
opaque. When there he elected more
ink, and in less than half minute the
water round the fish became blacker
than the blacklist thunder cloud ever
beheld. The ink gradually dispersed
itself through the water, forming
clouds of the most delicate shadings,
fading of from the very black place
under which the beast was concealed.
Not even Turner, the great artist,
ever imagined such a cloud. This
ink is used in the arts, sophia being
the very substance taken from the cut
fetish and dried. Without doubt
this power Of shooting ink is a most
wonderful means of protection to
preserve the animal from being eaten
by Its enemies, and it may not be i'm
possible that the idea of gods and
goddesses appearing from the clouds
and disappearing into the clouds, so
often described by Virgil, might
have taken its origin from the power
of the cuttlefish to surround itself
with cloud of ink, May we not also
compare this cuttlefish to a volumi-
nous author, who conceals his identi-
ty in clouds of ink"

The Chicago Tribune was not 80
far wrong when many months ago it
predicted that, under the Hampton
regime in South Carolina, the negro
would be protected in life and prop
erty, and get along very comfortably
indeed, SO long as he had the good
taste to keep out of politics, or, at
least 10 vote the democratic ticket.
The old game, played TO perfection in
Georgia, of arranging voting places
so that republican districts could not
vote, has been adopted. In ST. An
drew's parish the negroes must go
from five to fifteen miles, crossing a
river, ere they can reach polling
place; on Johns Island there is but
one polling place, at the extreme end
Of the island. Fancy all the voters
in the West Division having to go to
California avenue when they desired
to vote Even when Gas was recent

Leander Park had q Fourth of July
celebration Of his own, so far as the
fire works were concerned. He was
exemplifying to q countryman the
mysteries Of Roman candle when by
some means he succeeded in setting
fire to . whole box full of fire works.
There were sarpents, squibs, wheels,
U. s. flags, fire crackers, rockets, tor
pedoes and little Of most everything
else in the line going off al at once.
In an instant the store was full Of
fame, the street full of boys, when
some one kicked the box into the
street, but Leander didn't sell any fire
works, and the countryman perhaps
has not stopped running yet. For
tunately no particular damage was
done except to the fire works.
