ADJUSTMENTS.
Favmoua .Iu Paradise. -

In Paradise has evidently thrown Mr..
Raymond into greater prominence than
anything else esssayed by him since the
palmy DAYS of "Col. Sellers" The char
acter OF Maj. Bob" is calculated to touch
the sympathy and good will of an
American audience, and the comedian has
things all his own way in consequence.
To those who are unacquainted with the
story it viii be interesting to know that
Paradise EN- this case-is supposed to
be the name of a mining town in Idaho,
where "Maj. Bob Better" figures as the
impecunious editor OF the Edglescream.
Chicago, where the "Major" greets his
friends as an honored though somewhat
eccentric member of the bar. In Para
disc was excellently presented and well
received in Memphis last year. On Fri
day evening and at the Saturday matinee
Mr.. Raymond will present his latest sue
cess, The Rocket. He plays In Paradise to-
night and tomorrow night.
OF Mr.. Raymond's first performance of
"Maj. Better" in Cincinnati, the Enquirer
says: "In whatever character he appears
he is Raymond, but he is such a funny
Raymond that everybody is satisfied to a
hilarious degree, and nobody takes the
trouble to dissect the dialogue or study the
mond's hit was palpable last night, and the
people will, no doubt, literally patronize
him during the week, gently overlooking
mediocrity in several of the parts. John
Marble, as Bart Binks,' earned the very
frisadly recognition of the audience. Miss
lie Creese was admirable as Miss Pris-
ella Flagg,'' Maj. Bob's' old love. Miss
Sadie Biglow, had the part of "Melia' and
was abundantly qualified for its versatile
requirements. She was natural in her
acting, and astistically resisted the emo
tional temptations to overdo, which her
character presented. She gave one OF the
successful representations of the evening.
Mr.. G. +. Devere was acceptable in the
heavy part Harry Pierson, as Dewitt
Duxum, hadn't much to do but to look
well. Mr.. Cullmgton was a good Old Joe.
The other impersonations were not con-
spicuous for merit"

OF all the suryivals of brutalism in Eu-
rope, that of the Orange societies in Ire
land is the worst, and its perpetuity is a
blot on brave and intelligent people. II
represents religious bigotry, intolerance
and hate, and is the malevolent agency for
the continuance of disunion among the
Irish people. The recent efforts of Sir
Stafford Northcote to revitalize it in its
most intense form fills every fair-minded
man with Unreasonable disgust for him,
and Lord Rossmo,e's circular, issued with
the same view, is calculated to increase
and intensity that disgust and excite con

that ever disgraced American politics mover

Ex-Gov. HoRATGo SEYMOUR, interviewed
by New York World reporter on Monday,
said he was out OF politiSs and political
life but still continues to interest himself
in the affairs of the country. He does not
see why the cold ticket No /" should not
he run again, and declares that Mr.. Til
den's feebleness ought not be bar TO its
denomination and election. He thinks the
tariff question must be the principal issue
of the canvass. because the Republican
leaders mean to force It," He said: "The
manufacturers are not satisfied with a rev.
enue tariff. l want TO point out and en-
phasize their madness and folly. IL is a
great interest, of course, but it is not as
great as the carrying or the farming inter
ests, and these they appear inclined de-
Iiberately TO kill. l do not see that we
can have absolute free trade, for it would
he difficult for us to raise a revenue for
the support of the government by direct
taxation, but a protective tariff gives to
our manufacturers great advantages at the
cost Of the farmers and carriers, and most
of the mechanics"

Special Features.
Special to the Appeal
CHICAGO, October 30.-Not much-of in
terest has transpired to-day, the markets
have all shown a wonderful steadiness and
strength, and added to the increased
rumors from the Pacific coast of the condi-
ton Of the wheat crop there has given this
cereal more strength than was anticipated.
The fact that the wheat crop of the Pacific
coast was overe stimated early in the
season becomes every day more APP
parent as reports from the interior are re-
ceived. The warehouses are not filed to
overlowing anywhere; in fact few OF
them are as well filled as at this time last
year. While it is now so late in the sea-
son that it is reasonable 10 suppose the
bulk of the grain is under cover, those who
still believe in an exportable surplus OF
80, 3,000, 900 bushels, meet the report of light
stocks in warehouses by the statement
that the number OF warehouses in the in
terror has increased rapidly OF late years,
thus dividing the crop up, and that they
will find when the stock is made up in
January that they have not overestimated
the yield This is considered quite favor
able, but later developments must be
waited for.
Hogs are still to be found in plenty, but
under good and steady demand. The
prices of hog products showed great deal
of strength to-day, and may now believe
that the lowest point has been reached,
and still the bears won't acknowledge it.

LORD SALISBURY has just walked up to
the fact that the poor of London are living
like savages, and the Bishop of st. Albans
thinks they are in about the same condi-

long account with brutal, insolent, cor
rupt and debauched aristocracy was for

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
At am Underground Railway station in
London.
Many Persons Badly Bruised and Burned
Cause of the Disaster.

LONDON, October 30.-At s o'clock last
evening terrible explosion occurred near
the Praed street underground station on
the Metropolitan railway. On the first
alarm strong Gordon OF police was sum-
moned to keep order, clear away the debris
and convey the wounded people to the
hospitals. The passengers on the train at
the time say there was suddenly loud
report, like a cannon, then sudden dark
ness, the gaslights from the front
to the rear of the train being put
out. The glass was broken, and
splinters of wood flew about the cots, cut
ting and wounding many passengers.
Above the din were heard the shrieks of
the injured and panic-stricken people.
All this occurred in a moment, and for a
while confusion re,gned supreme. The
train was crowded, and contained prin-
cipally country visitors returning from
the Fisheries Exhibition. After leav-
ing the station the train travelled
steadily ahead, although the con-
cussion smashed nearly all the
lamps in the Praed street cars, and caused
much damage to the permanent way.
When the train reached the next station,
Edgwar Road, the first effort was made to
rescue the wounded. Some were dread
fully burned, but more prostrated by
fright. All the doctors, surgeons and
dispensaries in the neighborhood were
called into requisition. The first i'm
preston was that an accidental ex-
plOsion was the cause of the dis
aster, but later inquiries tend to
show malice. The rear carriages were
damaged most; they were skeletons. An
other theory is that the explosion was
caused by foul gas accumulated in the tun-
mel This, however, is untenable, be-
cause no premonitory symptoms were OBJ
servable. The general opinion OF the rail-
way officials and experts is that the
disaster was caused by some explosive ma
terial which had been placed in the rear
most carriage. Meanwhile a searching in
quiry is proceeding.
Ldter-It is believed about forty persons
were injured, some dangerously. Almost
simultaneously with the Praed street
affair violent explosion occurred on the
underground railway between Charing
Cross and Westminster The windows in
the signaling station in the tunnel
were shattered At Charing Cross
The glass roof of the station partly
collapsed. The report is described as
being like that of artillery. The effects
were similar TO those at the Praed street
explosion. The carriage lamps, windows,
pended for awhile. Although both ex-
plosions were matters of great mystery,
they are generally thought to have been OF
Fenian origin. The shocks of both
explosions are described by the Off
cials as very similarly to the shock OF the
explosion at the Local Government Board
offices in March last, in which DIR. Gala
CHER was implicated. 1t is stated that
four machines similar TO the rocks were
found in a tunnel near Praed street. Al
together, six carriages were shattered by
the explosion near Praed street. Although
about forty persons were admitted to the
hospitals, many more were injured, but
were sent to their own houses.

male laborers into the Hawaiian Islands
was rescinded, and a resolution adopted
instead authorizing the immigration thith-
er of such laborers, under certain restric-
tions, at rate not to exceed 600 in any

is understood to be owing to the great
