Important Insu rance Decision.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 1o.-several
months since the Insurance Commission.
ersoi Pennsylvania instituted suits against
the National Mutual Aid Association, Of
Columbus, Ohio, to collect penalties from
It, and to prevent future associations Of
this character in other States from doing
business In Pennsylvania. The National
Mutual Aid Association requires that on
the death OF a member each surviving
member shall contribute one dollar to the
family or heirs Of the deceased. To-day
Judge Pearson, OF the Danphin County
Court, gave judgment against the Com
monwealth, deciding that the Associations
are not insurance companies, consequent

the Insurance Commissioner. Barnes

HUMAN sAcRIrIcEs.

LONDON, April lo.-A Buramh cores
pondent says Mandalay astrologers main
tain that, in order to remove evil in
flueuces, great propitiatory sacrifice is re-
quisite. Victims will be taken from all
ranks to the number OF four hundred.
The priests contribute 100, the remainder,
men, women and children. Many arrests
have been made 10 secure q sufficient
number for victims to be selected from.
Tho priests, who have hitherto enjoyed
immunity from sacrifice, are quitting
Mandalay in great numbers. The Catho-
lie Convent was entered TO procure victims
from among the girls there, but the at
tempt was frustrated.
The internal condition Of the country Il
most unsatisfactory. The people, while
seeing the folly of King Theebaw's acts
are helpless TO effect change.
LONDON, April l0.-A dispatch from
Rangoon reports that seven hundred men
women, boys, girls, priests aud foreigners
have been burned alive under the tower

CHICAGO MAnKEr REVIEWED.
The Precarious Nature OF Present
speeuIafions In wheat.

bpeeu1Afions In wheat.
CHICAGO, April 1o-The grain deal has
been more distributed during the past
week than for some time, and the belief
that the clique are for the time at least
quiescent and allowing the market to
take Its own course, has gained ground.
This naturally brings to the front large
number OF smaller speculators who knew
enough not to submit to the making
process, and who. when the deal appears
10 be concentrated in one small coterie ot
gentlemen, are very apt 70 withdraw and
let the country trade stand the
losses that necessarily come to all
outsiders from such q combination. There
has been quite struggle between the bulls
and bears during the week, but the bears
have generally been In the ascendant.
The fact Is patent, however, that the
markets at present are almost entirely
weather markets, for no matter what the
foreign advices might be, prices ruled
lower here on the fine days and frmer on
the unreasonable days. Thus to-day,
when the sky was overcast and the air
chilly, and snow began TO fly, scores oil
buyers stepped in, and the market for
wheat advanced two and half cents
from yesterdays lowest point. With a
week or two OF unfavorable weather it is
not impossible that prices would reach
nearly the highest point yet. The season
Is at q critical stage, and many apprehen.
sions are felt that in view OF the warm,
open winter and the summer.like spring,
there may be disastrous seeding time in
store for the Northwest.
Including all cereals, the aggregate
movement has been about {, 900, 900 bush
els OF grain. The shipments oil corn
reached almost unprecented figures, chief
fly on account Of the sailing Of vessels in
port which have been loaded with corn,
It Is noticeable that, with higher prices
for wheat, there is very much less coming
in than last year, and that corn receipts
are largely decreased from last week. Al
together the outlook Is favorable for &
good market for all the grain in store here

nemoerntic aennie Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Democrat
ic Senator's were in caucus to-day four
hours. The question Of taking up the
spotford. Kellogg case was the subject un.
der consideration, and the discussion con-
tinued with good deal Of animation and
spirit. Senators Bayard, Lamar, Garland,
Herman and others spoke againstth pres
ent consideration Of the Kellogg case,
while Salisbury, Hill, Vance and Jonas
again insisted 1t ought TO be brought be-
fore the Senate for action without delay.
The Arguments were much the same as
before, except that even more determina..
tion was shown. to-day by the advocates ot
Immediate action. It was also openly
suggested that the proposition to unseat
Kellogg and seat spoftord could not be
adopted, because there were Democratic
Senators who would vote against 1t. Sem
ator Hill said, "Yery well; let them vote
against it. The committee had done ~
duty, and It now remained for the Senate
70 perform Its duty"
No matter what the vote might be, b.
linsisted upon the case being disposed OF
And in regard TO its possible effect upor

BERLIN, April 10.-The Retchstag has
concluded the second reading OF the army
bill, having adopted the remainder of the
clauses without alteration. Amendments
exempting the clergy from military SER
vice were rejected. The proposal Of Won
Buchler for Congress to promote q uni.
versat disarmament was rejected almost
unanimously.
By blunder OF the. cable last night,
Herr Rickert, National Liberal, was made
TO say "a party existed in Germany that
wished TO weaken the defensive power OF
the Fatherland." What he did say was,
Strengthening OF the army was Of the
highest importance to the Nation, and
must not be made party question; that
no party existed In Germany that wished
TO weaken the defensive power OF the
Fatherland."
BERLIN, April 10.-The air Is thickly
filled with rumors to the effect that Prince
Bismarck has Withdrawn his resignation,
but no two agree as to the terms on
which hehas done 50. The idea most
generally received is that he has made the
actof withdrawal conditional upon the an
nulling by the Federal Council Of THE vote
which his measure to levy tax upon
postal order receipts was defeated, and the
surrender by the minor German States OF
their right 70 vote by procuration in the
Federal States.
The German newspapers view with
some uneasiness the victory OF the Ltber-
ais in the English Parliamentary elections,
and devote considerable space editorially
to discussing the political situation. The
Berlin Cros GGsstte and the North German
Glsette publish articles to-day on the
probable composition Of the Liberal Cabi-
net and the possible entry OF Gladstone
into the Cabinet. They both unite in de.
claring that the selection OF Gladstone as
one OF England's Ministers will change un.
fayorably the. condition OF affairs and
create a fresh feeling Of disquietude for
the preservation OF the peace OF Europe.

GoRTsoHAK0FF DYING.

PARIS, April 1O.-A St. Petersburg cor.
respondent telegraphs this evening that
Prince Gortschakoff is dying. The bulle.
tin which his doctor, NJ. Koslow, has just
sent to the Emperor, concludes by saying
that the symptoms are alarming. Tele'
grams have been dispatched to his two
sons, one OF whom Is in Paris and the
other of whom Is Russian Minister at
Madrid. 1t Is doubtful IL they will arrive
in St. Petersburg in time to find tneil
father alive. Notwithstanding his ex
haustion, the Chancellor has preserved al
his lucidity. He Is at this hour alone,
stretched on his bed, with only his old va
let to attend him.
ST. PETERSBURG, April IL. Prince
Gortschakot passed very bad night last
night and has been delirious, and extreme
ly weak this evening. The Czar visited
him and summoned Prince Gortschakoff7t
two sons to St. Petersburg.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Berlin cores

majority OF three, providing that the
Geneya Award bill shall he taken up first,
and shall be considered from day to day
until disposed OF, and that then the
Chairman OF the Election Committee may
call up the Kellogg case unless meantime
the Democratic caucus shall decide other
wise. The caucus this morning was not
fully attended, and It was understood an
other shall be held before the final dispo-
sition OF the Geneva Award bill, TO pass
finally upon the Kellogg case. Il is the
understanding that final decision shall
be made by full vote Of all the Demo-
cratic Senators.

Roy Murderer Convicted.

PITTSBURGH, April l0,-The Jury in the
case Of Thomas Corcoran,. the boy, thir;
teen or fourteen years Of age, charged
with having killed John Hough, near
Turtle Greek, on the line OF the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad, by striking him on the
head with o coupling pin, retired lasl
night. The Commonwealth had claimed
murder in the second degree, aud the jury
after having been out all night, returned
10 Court this morning with verdict oil
murder in the second degree. The verdic
was hardly expected, on account Of the
youth Of the prisoner. II was supposed
that the jury would have found him gull
ty OF manslaughter. He was remanded L

LONDON, April l0-Total number 0
votes polled thus far 1,595, 900 Liberal ant
,14l, 900 Conservative, showing gain o
40l 900 Liberal and 11s0O0 Conservative
votes.
Public enthusiasm appears to grow L
such an extent that II is thought highly
improbable that Gladstone will be able to
decline the reception preparing for hin
by the Liberals.
South Ireland re.elects Sullivan, Home
Ruler, and elects Phillip Callan, Home
Ruler, in place Of George II. Kirk, Liberal
in favor OF home rule. Lord Edward Cav.
endish, brother OF the Marquis OF Hart
ington, Is chosen for Derbyshire North, in
place OF Augustus P. Arkwright, Conser-
vatiye.
Mayor Gray, of Dublin, (Home Rule
was elected for Carlow.
Among the names mentioned for pro-
motion 70 the peerage are Alexander d.
W. R. Baillic.C Cochrane, Conservative
member Of the last House OF Commons
for the Isle OF Wight, Sir Lawrence Polk,
Conservative member for Devon, East, in
the last House, and Montague Cory, Lord
Beacons6eld's Secretary.
Vanity Fair states the Queen will send
for Earl Granville when Lord Beacons-
field resigns the Premiership.
The Sunday Reuiew thinks Lord Beacons-
field will retire before Parliament meets,
and that the chances seem to be against
Mr.. Gladstone's acceptance Of the office.
The Spectator thinks Gladstone can not
be left out OF the new Cabinet, and that
he can not occupy any place in it except
first place.
The Econonia says: "There Is growing
tendency to regard the Liberal success at
the parliamentary elections favorable to
business, and 1t appears probable that we
are on the eve Of another outbust Of
speculation"
John Walter, proprietor Of the Times, Is
elected for Berkshire; D. II. McFarlane.
Home Ruler, for Carlow county-Home
Rule gain; Joseph 6. Riggar and Chas. j.

There Is no doubt but that the immi

population OF European countries as com.
pared with the remarkable revival OF all

The New York Herald furnishes US the
following interesting facts about the ar
HyAi now landing on our shores:
The total number OF immigrants who
came to this port in 1879 was 175, $50
Which was very largely in excess OF pre-.
teeiilg years, being 59,723 more than in
lSg. which exceed 1877 by 30,Sll. Dur
