The New York Times prints three columns of comparative labor stat. istics in this country and Europe, It says; In every case it will be found that the American laborer is paid better and can maintain himself and family at less cost than the European working in similar branches of in. dustry. But it is interesting to com pare the condition of different ua- tionalities. In the matter of mater ial prosperity. comfort and content ment, the English workman seems 10 have the best opportunities for bettering himself, but strikes and tippling are fatal drawbacks to their advancement. In France and Bel gium, in spite of low wages and scanty meals of sustenance, laboring people are thrifty and contented. In Germany the condition of the working classes is most deplora ble. Destltution and despair appear to stare them in the face. Compared with the condition of other people, that of American laboring men would seem to indicate discontent as one of our national traits.

It may not be generally known that gunpowder prevents infection from fever. A sojourner from trop- ical districts says that he has been able to escape infection and miasma by the use of gul powder, supple mented by few simple precautions against sudden changes of tempera- ture, sunstroke, bad water and the liko. He uses no water that has not been boiled and afterward kept from air contact; but his main reliance z upon the practice of burning thi m bleful of gunpowder in his room and very small quantities in his wardrobe and trunk, so as to keep his clothes in an atmosphere feebly charged with gunpowder gas. On the east coast oftroric Africa, and other fe- ver-smitten lands he has found such simple means a sure preventive of epidemic diseases. That gun-powder the engine of death, sometimes pre- serves life, is greatly to it's credit"

The State Board of Health of Cali fornia has issued the following:
 Fears have been entertained in some quarters that the yellow fever may find it's way into California, the State Board of Health deem it prop CT to announce that they have placed themselves in communication with the managers of the Central Pacific Railroad in relation to the subject, and that the utmost care will be exer- cised by the officers of the road to detain any person who may have the disease, and to quarantine every car in which the disease may ap. pear Correspondence has also been opened with the National Board of Health at Washington, so that advantage may be taken of any in formation and counsel from that quarter, Under these circumstances, the port of San Francisco being viz ilantly guarded by the Board of Health of that city, it is believed that no occasion exists for the slight est apprehension that the yellow fever will invade our State.

The Eastern Road.

The Affgonan gathers the follow ing facts srom ". H. Hardy, who re- gently returned from visit to the Eastern States, via Santa Fe:
 The distance from Los Vegas, New Mexico, (present terminus of the railroad) is about 575 miles. Fare by stage from Prescott to Los Vegas. $50; thence to Chicago the fare is $56-Total S136. The time occupied in going from Prescott to Chicago is s days, or one day shorter than the fastest time by way of California.
 The great tunnel through the Ra- ton Mountains is completed. Over 1000 men are employed extending the railroad which, if we understood MT. Hardy correctly, is now within ten miles of Santa Fe, from which point, It is surmised, the company will sooner or later run their road through Northern Arizona
 Through freight rates from Chica- go are very low, in comparison with rates of other lines. It is thought that goods purchased in Chicago can be laid down in Prescott for five cents a pound. Mir Fred Williams has now at the end of the road, forty tons of groceries and provisions.
 Mir Hardy is emphatic in good words for the Star Line Mail Com pany. The road is well stocked with excellent mules, and new stations have been established.

 him with cane. Dahan then fled and then MIirzam shot and-killed him. Miriam surrendered himself to the authorities, The United States authorities telegraphed to Alexandria that the prisoner must be kept in custody, and if the acting Consul of the United States cannot try him, he must be confined until the Consul-General shall return from four months furlough.

Billy blew out his own brains, Johny then killed white lover of the girl named Bernard Several Mexicans, countrymen of the murdered man, surrounded the muF- derer and would have lynched him had it not been for the prompt action of Dr. McGillicuddy, the Irdian agent, who sent him under 8 guard of Indian soldiers to the military guard house at Camp Sheridan. where he now awaits the action of the civil authorities,

CHICAGO GLEANINGS.
The Custom House Gases and Other Mat
ters-Orops in the Northwest.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Testimony in the Gus
tom m-house cases shows that nearly all the
parties connected with that huge job which
has been In progress seven or eight years,
from architect to stonecutters, did an enor-
nous amount OF idling In order to make the
work last as long as possible. The defense
to-day introduced Witnesses to show that the
Buana Vista stone. OF which it Is constructed,
is OF the best quality. The quarry Is near
Cincinnati and the greater part Of that city
Ii built of the same.
Investment certificates continue TO be In
such demand that buyers throng before the
sub-treasury and postOffce doors by 5o'cIock
La the morning. The certificates are only sold
from 10 q. IN. to 2 p. M, and only early
colners are able to reach the counter before
81 were paid Tor place in the line near the
office. The police and government officers do
their utmost TO prevent speculation OF all
kinds, without absolute success. Spectators
will make from one-half to three-quarters Of
per cent on their Investments. Assistant
Treasurer Gilbert saws that there is no plan
by which the speculation can be stopped.
Since April he has sold s995,oOO, a considerable
amount going into the country. The demand
for certificates ON the part OF banks is main Y
for deposit with the government to secure
circulation. Thousands OF dollars have been
stolen by irresponsible parties to whom
money was given for investment.
I'll. d. Sargent, general manager of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, is In this city.
He reports the prospects for a large grain
crop In Northern Minnesota and Dakota all
that could be desired. The increase In the
acreage sown Is unusually large. Emigrants
are pouring into Northern Dakota by tens of
thousands, and the rush for lands along the
line Is beyond all precedent. Work on the
road west OF the Missouri river Is being vig-
orously pushed forward, and Indications are
that 205 miles by the Yellowstone will be com
pleted and cars run through to that river be-

only to pay him In silver, but Ia certificates
which are based on bullion alone. II he bor-
rpwed . horse from the gentleman from
Illinois (Springer) and next day returned him

lated lts contract IT would be- a damned
scoundrel. Renewed laughtarI The section
which proposed the Issue OF certificates ls
monstrous There was not 9 man who would
vote for this bill who would not, sooner or
later, repent In dust and ashes. But he
thanked God there was no more chance OF
this bill becoming law than there was OF
this country sinking to the bottom pit OF
degradation.
MIR. Springer said the truth was the bond
holders had paid for their bonds In green
/ backs, and now they wanted the government
to pay them In gold. They had loaned q
horse and wanted the return OF something OF
greater value. What was proposed was to
pay according TO the contract, and that was
In standard coin.
| After further discussion the section was
amended SO as to read rs follows: The Secre-
| tary OF the Treasury is authorized and re-
quired to receive deposits OF gold or silver

urer or any assistant treasurer OF the United
States, or with the superintendent OF the
branch mint at Denver, Col, In sums Of not

MEXICO.
Cabinet Dissensions that May Affect the
United States

HAVANA, May 22-Adviees brought from
Mexico by the French steamer which reached
here yesterday state that fear of the failure
OF the proposed international exhibition Is
based on jealousy at the increasing popular
ity Of Riv Palacio, who initiated the scheme
Of the exposition. The leading men support
Palacio, and Benitz's men oppose him. This
was believed would be the forerunner OF the
retirement Of Palacio from the Cabinet. Pala-
clio and Senor Zamaconi are representatives
of the American ideas Of progress. Ealiarte
ternational ideas. The election OF Benitz, it
is thought, would be signal for disintegra-
tion, and would endanger the friendship be-
tween Mexico and the United States Benitz
is regarded as an implacable enemy Of the
United States.

THE UNITED KINGDOM.
An Important Meeting Of the Irish Home
Rulers.

DUBLIN, May 22.-An important meeting
OF the leaders and principal members Of the
Home Rule party was held yesterday. The
past and future policy Of the party was fully
Home Rule agitation ON the same lines which
had hitherto been followed. Several of the
speakers claimed that the whole OF the legis-
atiOn favorable to Ireland which has been
obtained during the last ten years had been
due to the agitation that the further wishes
Of the Irish people respecting their control
over their own domestic concerns could be-
satisfied The policy of obstruction which
has been pursued at times during the last two
sessions ot Parliament was approved. The
question as to the choice OF d leader of the
party In place of the late Dir. Butt gave rise
to much discussion, but was finally settled by
the election Of VIM. Shaw, one OF the Home
Rule members for the county Of Cork.
THE DURHAM MINERS STRIKE AT AN END.
NEWCASTLE TYNE, May 22.-After CON
siderable difficulty the obstinate section of
striking coal miners has been induced to ac-
judge Of the Durham County Court, last week,
and all pits In the Durham mines union will
be In working order to-day.
The coal owners In Germany have taken
advantage of the miners strike here To rssh
German Goals into all Baltic ports, and 1T is
feared q considerable portion OF the ordinary
summer trade In Goals from Tyne may have
been forestaIled.
THE DIFFICULTY IN UNLOADING CATTLE AT
LIVERPOOL.
LONDON, May 22.-The block in the Liver
pool cattle delivery is due to the back ward
ness OF lairage and saughtering accommo-
dations. Part Of the Wallsey Dock sheds. on
the Brkenhead side of the Mersey, Is still
unaccepted by the Privy Council. The Now
peth Dock sheds at Birkenhead and the Can
ada Dock sheds at Liverpool are incom plete.
The course OF the Privy Council in schedul-
ing hogs has added to the difficulty. One
vessel In the WaIlsey Dock and two In the
river are unable to discharge their eargoes.
Three others are due, which will also be
without accommodation.

BISMARCK AND ROME.
The Recent Alliance of the German
Chancellor and the Cath
0lic Party.
Growing Strength of the Coalition and Of
the Ohanoellors New Tariff Laws,

LONDON, May ga dispatch from Berlin
says the changes which have taken place In
the political situation here excite great inter
est and much comment. In certain Radical
and Liberal circles the affiliations which have
sprung up between Prince Bismarck and the
Catholic members of the Reiehstag gives rise
to the rem ark that the Chancellor has gone to
Oannosa, despite all his protestations that he
would never go there, but the better opinion
appears TO be that the Chancellor and tbs
Pope have made mutual CONCESSIONS to each
other and have met upon middle ground.
The terms Of the compact are not yet known,
but 1t 10 believed they amount only to the un-
derstanding that the Falck laws, without be-
ing repealed shall not be enforced. The Ma
tional Liberals and Radicals are sorely dig
comfited.
The feeling In favor OF the new tariff laws
grows very rapidly and diBcloses unexpected
strength. Farmers not satisfied with pro.
tective duty on foreign breadstuffs, Ineata,
wines and hides, are now clamoring for the
imposition OF q heavy duty on all foreign
woDls.
The new Blsmarckian coalition embraces
the entire agricultural interests, certain Of the
manufacturers and the whole Catholic and
orthodox Lutheran party.
