RUSSIA AND HER NEIGHBoRs.
Austria Talking Peace, but Germany
Angrily Demanding Explanations

Austria Talking Peace, but Germany
Ansrily Demanding Explanations.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-It is stated in semi
official circles here that the government
is greatly incensed at the action of the
Russian authorities in massing such large
numbers of Cossacks on the frontier and
that the Cabinet is seriously considering
the advisability Of at once preparing and
forwarding a note TO the Russian govern
ment demanding an explanation of this
sudden movement of troops.
BREsLAU, Oct. 29.-Die SchleSiSchez
Zettung says that Germany will not be
satisfied with mere assurances of pacific
intentions on the part Of the Car. and NJ. .
de Giers, the Prime Minister of Russia.
There is no evidence of pacific intentions
beyond the bare declaration that Russia
is peaceably disposed, and that the mass
ing OF the COssack troops on the German
frontier and The unrestrained Panslavic
agitations in Poland are strangely at
variance with such professions.
VIENNA, Oct. 29.-The Budget Com
mittee of the Austrian Delegation to-day
discussed the foreign estimates, Count
KalnOky, Minister of Foreign Affairs. in
answer to questions, reviewed the politi-
cal situation in Europe. He said that the
foreign relations OF Austria were perfect
ly friendly. His recent utterances,
especially those in regard to Rus
sia, had been perhaps willfully
distorted. He had described
Russia as completely normal,
and therefore friendly. Russia had pre-
eminently felt the need of peace. and
Austria required the same. The rela-
tions of Austria and Russia bore the
character of holding out mutual and
friendly cancellations. He was confident
that peace was assured for long time to
come, Austria s relations with Germany
were perfectly secure, being based upon
unreserYed accord between the two cabi-
nets and upon the feelings of the people
themselves. These well known facts ma
terially aided the two countries in their
efforts to maintain peace.

A REAR ADMIRAL RErIREs.

a Year bY the Action

His Successors Salary Increased &1 ,OOO
Year by the Action,
WASHINGTON, October 29.-Secretary
Chandler this morning received cable
message from Rear Admiral Crosby, com
manding the Asiatic station, dated at
Shanghai, asking to be placed upon the
retired list Immediately, under the forty
years service law. The request was
granted, and he was at once relieved from
his present command and retired. This
retirement, together with that of Rear
Admiral Clitz, which occurred several
days ago. Will give Commodore Rhind.
who retires on the 31st OF October,
an opportunity to be promoted to
Rear Admiral before that time, when he
will retire with that rank. The action of
Admiral Crosby in thus Fastening his re-
tirement is considered a very graceful
one on his part. 1t will make a difference
to him of about 5000 in salary, but it will
increase the salary of Commodore Rhind
about $1,000 a year as long as he lives.
The retirement of Commodore Rhind as
Rear Admiral will promote Commodore
PattisOn to be Rear Admiral from Novem-
Der 1. Commodore John Lee Davis will
succeed Admiral Crosby in command on
the ASiatic station.

A Business "CIosed ont y

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The stationery and
printing house of Culver, Page, Hayne Il
Co., one of the oldest in this city. CLOSED
its doors this morning. In answer to in
quiries it was stated that the business
had been closed out to John Morris.
The immediate cause of the trouble seems
to have been the fact that Mr.. Culver.
the mOnled man of the firm, had his capi-
tai invested in mines and in an insurance
company. 1t is asserted that he has lust
sold one OF his mines to an English Syn
dicate for 100000, and it is believed that
this transfer was made for the purpose of
tiding over the difficulty until a sale
can be realized on. The FIRMS assets are
estimated roughly at $325, 900, and the liza
bilities, it is believed, will reach $500. 600.
Confession of judgment was entered TO.
day by W. X. Durham against the firm
for 81. 900.

HALLET KILBoURNE,s SUIT,
Couple of Pleas Overruled, and an
Adjournment Until To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The suit of
Hallet Kilbourne against John G. Thomp-
son, eX-Sergeant-at-Arms OF the House
of Representatives, was called for trial
to-day in the Circuit Court before Judge
Cox. Mr.. Kilbourne was summoned as
a witness before the "Real Estate Pool"
Investigating Committee of the House in
1876, and, as already narrated in the
NEWS, declined to testify in relation to
the business of the firm Of KilbOurne e
Latta, or to produce the books and papers
OF the firm. He was arrested BY virtue
Of a resolution of the House, by the Ser
geant-at-Arms, and being brought
before the bar of the House
again refused to submit his books and
papers. He was thereupOn committed to
the District jail, where he renamed forty
five days, until after the adjournment of
Congress, when he gained his liberty
through a writ of habeas corpus. Mr..
KilbOurne entered suit against Mr..
Thompson, Sergeant-at-Arms, for $3.50, 900,
and was, in April 1882, awarded $1,000
by jury. This verdict, however. was
set aside by Judge Macarthur, and the
case now comes to trial under an amended
bill claiming $350,000 damages, and this
morning the case was again taken up. Mr..
hliDOuTue WAS present WIN MS counsel.
Senator Voorhees,, EnOch TOtten and Gen.
n. L. Jetfries. John G. Thompson, the
defendant, was also in court with his
counsel, Jere Wilson, District Attorney
Corkhill and Assistant District Attorney
Coyle. Some legal questions growing out
of the pleas of the defendant to the amend
ed bill, to which the plaintiff demurred,
We're argued by the lawyers. One plea
alleged that the amended statement of
damages was barred by the statute of
limitations. Judge Cox held that as the
original suit was entered within the time
prescribed by law, the cause of
the action remaining the same,
an amendment merely to the statement
of consequences of such action to the
plaintiff was not equivalent to entering a
new suit. The court also overruled a
plea involving the jurisdiction Of the
House of Representatives to order the
arrest. The court then adjourned until
tomorrow at the request of the counsel,
Senator voorhees, having just arrived,
and not having had time for consultation
with his associates. When the court
meets in the morning the first business
before it will be the organization of a
jury.

SEVENTY-FIFTH MERIDIAN TINIF
Secretary Teller Orders Its Adoption
on the 1st of November

W WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Secretary Tel
Ter recently referred to the Director of the
United States Geological Survey the
proposition from the Secretary of the
Navy looking to the adoption by the In
terror Department of the seventy-fifth
meridian time as the local time of Wash
lngton. Director Powell has returned
the letter with an Endorsement. wherein
he says: "The change of local time for
Washington, recommended by the Naval
Observatory, is in pursuance of
the general plan for uniform
time as correlated by hour meridians
throughout the civilized world. For
many years scientific men have been
urging this measure, associations have
been organized for the purpose Of secur-
ing 1t, and committees appointed by scien-
titie bodies, perhaps, in every civilized
State. The plan will be of great value in
the collection and comparison of scien-
tific observation that depend upon time
From this standpoint of scientific re-
search, therefore, it is greatly de-
sired. The local change in
Washington will be advantageous
to all business men and to all who travel
by rail-" Upon this Endorsement Secre-
tary Teller informed the Secretary Of the
Navy that he would be glad to adopt the
new time, which is understood to be s
minutes seconds faster than the present
local time, and the change will 90 into
