The Declanatsry Contest.

We had the pleasure OF attending the
declamatory contest on Friday night at
the Normal. A very line audience
was in attendance and the program was
carried out to the letter without fric-
ton or jar. The rostrum was very
tastefully decorated with flowers and
plants and excellently lighted. We do
not recollect Of attending an exercise
where all the pieces were so uniformly
good and we'll rendered. Position, ees-
ture, modulatlon, and emphasis, all
showed culture and training not often
attained. We learn that Miss Ada
Greenwood, Miss Owen, Miss Jennie
Dodson, and Prof S. NJ Picker are
equally deserving of mention as the in
structors and trainers OF the contest

= he War in Egypt.

CAIRO, Nov. 26.-After the review to-day
Of troops about to start for Suakim, three
Turkish officers went to Baker Pasha and
refused to go TO Soudan on the ground that
their contract was for service in Egypt alone.
1t is hoped the matter will be arranged.
There is a general sense of uneasiness show
ing signs of revival of religious enthusiasm.
At Tanta, especially, a captain who brought
the news of Hicks Pasha's defeat, states he
was allowed to escape only on protesting
Moslem faith. The massacre, he said, was
not so universal as at first believed, as those
Egyptian soldiers who were so disposed were
allowed to join the forces of Ell Mahdi.
There is reason to believe that emissaries of
FL Mahdi are busy in the large towns in Up
per Egypt, and general rising is feared.

ARBITRATION VS., WAR.
A Move in the Direction of Peace.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The Inter-
national Arbitration League met to-day. The
object of the League is to promote the adopt
ion of principle of international arbitration
in the settlement of disputes.
Bishop Simpson was chosen president.
The resolutions offered were referred to the
proper committees, when appointed, asking
the United States government to invite q
congress of nations to consider the question
of adopting arbitration for the arrangement
of all differences. Prof. Hobbs, OF Indiana,
read paper giving an account of the differ
ent cases of international arbitration and
said the United States had been a party to
eighteen out of thirty.three. The indica.
tions are we are rapidly approaching period
of universal peace. A great majority Of the
people of this country and of Great Britain
are favorable to the formation of q perma-
nent peace treaty, but the move must come
from Washington. "
A letter of regret of inability to be present
was read from General Grant. He said
"My views on the subject of arbitration have
not changed, but my hopes of its speedy &C.
have diminished. 1t is only
by keeping the subject alive that 1t can be
accomplished successfully" A number of
letters and kilograms were read, including
dispatch from d. Appleton, representing the
Arbitration League Of London. 1t read:
sin the protest against the Franco Chinese
war, you have cur cordial sympathy"

Determined to Ride.
Miles CitU Press, Nor. 18Th.


AS the east bound train pulled out of Liv-
ingston yesterday, thirty-fve men, who had
been working at the tunnel, boarded It with
the determination of making their way back
to st. Paul. 1t appears that a large number
of men were hired last summer by the COM
pany and sent out to work on the Bozeman
tunnel, and were promised return pass as
soon as winter set in. When they asked for
transportation over the road they were re-
fused, and they then made up their minds
that they would &C east. Consequently the
conductor on yesterdays train, when it pulled
out of Livingston, had on board the above
number of "deadhead" passengers. At every
telegraph station the conductor asked for in.
formation from the division superintendent,
but received no strict orders what to do until
the train reached Forsythe, when an order
came to have Sheriff Johnson, who hap
pened to be on the train, order them to get
off, that it was impossible to take them any
further until orders could be received from
headquarters ut st. Paul. Sheriff johnson
made few appropriate remarks, stating that
it was his duty as an officer to compel them
to leave the train, and they Immediately left
the coach without exchanging any harsh
words. Many Of them are in destitute cir
cumstances, and the sheriff ordered their
supper at the railroad house. 1t was expec-
ted last evening that an order would come
from headquarters to bring them on to st.
Paul If this wasn't done they would most
likely board the first east bound passenger
and go to st. Paul, where many of them have
families.

A Bold. Bad Man.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 22-Andie
Taylor, the last living of the three Taylor
brothers who murdered two sherfis and cap
tured railroad train with 100 passengers
aboard, compelling the engineer to carry
them twenty miles at a dangerous high
speed, about year ago, will be hanged to-
morrow at o'clock a: London, Tenn. To-
day, while being taken from Knoxville to
London, he slipped a revolver out of the
pocket of one of the guards, and, though
heavily manacled, managed to get the muz.
zle Of the pistol within a few inches of the
head of Sheriff Foute, of London, but owing
TO the fact that Taylor thought The revolver
was a self cocker, he was knocked down be-
fore he could raise the hammer, He re-
marked that if he had not mistaken the pis.
tol for sef-cocker, "You, Foute, would
have got to hell several hours before me-"
Taylor is but % years old, but seems to have
no fear of the gallows. The execution will
be private. The crime committed by his
two elder brothers and himself was one of
the most atrocious and daring ever commit
ted in the State.

China in the Right.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-WorldS editorial :.
There can be no doubt that the outbreak of
war in China would be great calamity. 1t
would affect not France and China alone,
but all the great trading nations, the United
States included. Our trade in Chinese
waters is second in importance only to that
of Great Britain, and greatly in excess Of
that of France. Returns of 1S81-S2 show
that the annual import and export trade of
China amounts to very nearly $500, 900, 600.
OF this the per centage of Great Britain, in
cluding Hong Kong, is about go, not far short
of two-thirds of the whole. The per centage
of the United States is 20. The claims of
France are manfestly unjust, her action
high h-handed and offensive. Her interests in
Chinese waters do not Justify the attitude
she has assumed. China, not France, has
the sympathy Of the nations.

Rosecranz's Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Gen. Rosecranz
Is the reputed author of new scheme for
the organization of the Democratic party for
the next Presidential campaign. he pro-
poses TO divide the Democratic voters into

section shall have chief, whose duty 1t shall
be to see that voters under him shall be In

him from the head center. The chiefs are
also to be intrusted with the duty of collect

cranz also proposes to raise campaign funds
by voluntary contributions of five cents each

turns from such subscription would amount
TO 1900, 900 per year, upon the basis Of the
Hancock vote in 1880. It is propose that
half this sum be divided annually among the

Report Of the Oregon Railway and Naviga-

way and Navigation Company's report gives
the total expense account at "a, ,959. 1856, and
the surplus profits s229, ,234, to which might
be added S63 900, the value of bonds retireC
by the sinking fund during the year at par,
making the surplus during the year s2s9, ,234.
The receipts from all sources amounted to
0,92s, 100, and the disbursements, includ-
Ing everything, amounted to $l0,0oS,375.

sldered good one. 1t will be seen another

the Northern Pacific Terminal Company Of
Oregon to confuse and bewilder the stock
holders and bondholders. In the bills pay
able the items 81 200, 900 in the Oregon Rail-

Gov. CrosbY's SuaaestIon. I.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The suggestion made
by Gov. Crosby, of Montana, to the effect
that Mormon polygamists not only be dis
francisco but be debarred from entering
homesteads or pre-emption claims upon pub
lie lands, strikes number of journals here
as the first practical suggestion likely to solve
the problem.
The Inter-Ocean says: "The choicest
lands In Utah, Arizona and Idaho have al
ready been entered by the Mormon Church,
and 1t has begun to spread itself into Mon
tana, Wyoming and New Mexico. In all of
these Territories public lands are worthless
except where they can be irrigated or used
for pasturage, and then only TO those who
have control Of the water. The church has
had its agents making careful survey of the
country lying between the British boundary
of Idaho and the Mexican border, and they
have selected all the favorable locations for
farms and cattle ranches" After speaking of
the method of the church authorities In plac
ing their emigrants on these public lands,
the article concludes: ''The way to stop this
Is to debar from the privilege of the pre-emp-
tion and homestead acts men who believe In
the supremacy of the Mormon Church ever
the United States Government. As it is now,
the laws simply permit the Mormon hier-
archy to strengthen itself. They afford
means of augmenting its power and give the
lands of the United States to it,"
The Daily Ne,cs, on the same subject,
comments as follows: at goes without say
ing that under the present namby pamby
policy of the Government In dealing with
polygamy, the evil has increased and grown
stronger with each futile effort to restrain it.
1t has, from handful of people driven few
years ago by few determined men from
Nauvoo, in this State, become menace to
the Government itself, simply from the tenn.
porizing policy that has been adopted in
dealing with it. Gov. Crosby's suggestion is
a good one, for there is no reason why the
Government should furnish land for the
homes of Its most malignant enemies"

Southern Knight OF St. Georae.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-The announcement
that Capt. F. W. Dawson, editor of The
Charleston, 5. C., Ne,rs and Courier, had
been created a knight of the Order of St.
George by the Pope is the subject Of general
comment in Southern journals. Dawson is
an Englisbman by birth. He joined the
Confederate service in 1861, served with dis
tinction during the war, the latter part of
the time on the staff of Fitz Hugh Lee. AZ.
ter the surrender he went TO Charleston and
served for some time as associate editor of
the Mercury, and left that paper on becoming
part owner and editor Of the Charleston
Ne,rs. Demands looking to a duel were
made by the manager Of the Mercury. TO
which Dawson's response was: "That being
q Roman Catholic, under no circumstances
would he accept challenge or fight duel"
In 1876 similar demand was made by Gen.
Gary, we'll known fire-eater, and declined
on the same grounds. Dawson took an ac-
tive part against the duello when the CASH
Shannon duel took place IN 1880. Up TO
that time there never had been a trial at
common law for murder In a duel. Cash
was tried, and although the jury disagreed
on the first trial and verdict of acquittal
was rendered on the second trial, these trials
were death.tlow to the duelling system in
the State. The Legislature took the matter
up and passed a law making duelling muir
der, and requiring every public officer in the
State, in addition TO the usual oath, to take
an oath not to send or receive challenge
or engage in duel while in office. There
has not been duel in the State since the
passage of that law. On account of his ac-
tive part in accomplishing this result, Daw-
son has been subjected to great personal
danger and abuse. 1t Is probable that dis
tinction of similar kind had been conferred
on Americans before, but never before on
the avowed grounds Of service rendered TO
good morals In such a mode as the suppress.
sion of duellinp
