The Revised New Testament.


New YORK, March 16.-One of the largest
dealers in religious publications in the city
being asked to-day as to the sale of the re-
vised Testament, said: SIT is so small that
it is scarcely worth mentioning. The sale
stopped as if by magic when popular curl
osity was satisfied and does not seem to
have picked up again. 1t is hard to COM
pare the sale of the revised edition with
that of the authorized edition, because the
former is too small to be considered. Dur
ing the last month we have sold perhaps
500 or 600 copies of the authorized edition
of the New Testament and certainly not
more than half dozen copies of the re-
vlsed version. The sudden failure of the
work, so to speak. has been severe blow
to many of our leading publishers. Some
twenty-five or thirty editions have been
issued at an expense of several hundred
thousand dollars. Judging by the present
sale of the New Testament revision, the
American publishers will be few who will
undertake to spend their money in revised
editions of the Old Testament. 1 have
tried to get the new work introduced into
Sunday schools as book of reference and
a commentary and have uniformly failed.

International Workingmen's association
died yesterday at Argenteuil.
DR.. Frederick Engel, an intimate friend
of Karl Marx, says: Marx died in Londen
near Regents park. DR.. Engel was pres
ent at his death. The cause was bronchi-
tis, abscess of the lungs and internal bleed
ing. He died without pain. Out of re-
spect to the wishes of Marx, who always
avoided demonstration, the family decid-
ed to have private funeral. About eight
cen persons will be present, including q
few friends coming from the continent.
The place of interment is not yet an
nounced. DR.. Engel will probably speak
at the grave, and there will be no religious
ceremony. Marx spent part of the sum-

in October.
At the time of his death, the third edition
of Marks book "Das Kapital,'' first pub
ished in 1864, was preparing for the press.

death was caused by the fact, that though
Marx had been i'll for long time, DR..
Engel was the only person allowed to see

His final illness was due to a cold, the

The Wisconsi,s Central.

New York correspondent of the Mil
waukee Wisconsin has the following:
An active speculation in Wisconsin
Central shares having started up in
Boston, carrying the price of that stock up
ten points within brief period, a re-
porter sought an interview with Mr.. G. l..
Colby, president of the company, to learn
the cause of the movement. The follow
ing colloquy ensued:
The report is current on the street that
the Northern Pacific people are buying up
the stock of the Wisconsin Central rail
road in order to get control of that road
Are you willing to give me any informa-
ton as to the truth of this report?"
''Oh, yes. So far as 1 know they have
not bought any of our stock. What sells
as Wisconsin Central stock is without
voting power. It is merely trustees GER
tifcates which carry no control of the
road.''
''If there is no truth, then, in this report,
what has caused such lively buying of
Wisconsin Central stock during the last
ten days?"
''It is impossible to say what the real
cause is, but probably the fact that we
were negotiating for a connection with the
Northern Pacific at Ashland has affected
the market more or less. These negotia-
tions have, at last, been consummated.
The Northern Pacific Railroad company
has advertised for bids for construction of
the line from Superior to Ashland, and traf-
fic arrangements have been agreed upon
between the two companies. This cannot
fail to be of great advantage to our prop
erty. Our lumber seeks a market along
the Northen Pacific line, and there is a
good market for their wheat along our
line; besides, we hope to get good share
of all the business of that railroad"
"Is it true that valuable iron deposits
exist on the Wisconsin Central property ?''
"We believe this to be the fact. In the
Penokee range there are uncovered many
thousand tons of ore, which the assays
show to be of excellent quality. Great
pressure is brought upon US to build spur
about forty miles long, which will run all
| the way through iron lands. We are Civ
ing mining leases with good prospect of
| large business in the shipment of iron ore
as soon as the railroad reaches the mines.
Some of these mines are located on ouI
own lands"

CHICAGO PACKING.

CHICAGO, March 16.-Howard, White &
Co.'s commercial circular shows the hogs
packed in this market for the year ending
March 1, 1888, was 4,223 900, decrease of
$4,000 compared with the preceding year.
The packing during the past summer sea-
son was 1,665,000, decrease of 1,067 900
compared with the previous summer. The
packing in the winter season was 2,578,000,
an increase of 100, 900 compared with the
previous winter. The falling off in the ag-
gregate is attributed to the decreased sup
ply of hogs in the country, higher prices
and restrictions on expectation, making
packers cautious. The average weight of
hogs packed during the summer season
was 21S against an average of 231 in 1881,
and 234 in 1880. The average weight in
the winter season was 255 against
256 the previous year. Cattle
slaughtered the past year 774,558.
The hog product of the winter packing
season was lard 2SL000 tierces; mess pork
365,O00 barrels; other pork $4,000 barrels;
total $4,000 barrels; sweet picked hams
125,000 tierces; green hams 23,27S,000
pounds; other hams 31,411,000 pounds;
sweet picked shoulders $4,000 tierces;
green and dry salt shoulders 31,Sf9,000
pounds; short ribs, pounds 76,277,000;
short clear, pounds 21,0S5,000; long clear,
pounds 25,255,000; other side and fancy
cuts, pounds &c, 1913, 900; backs and bellies
7,519,OOO pounds.
In regard to the announcement that
German decree against the importation of
American hog products has been promul-
gated, Armour & Co. say the decree Will
not have any effect upon this years crop,
as there is no surplus whatever for export.
Another large provision house here are
gathering statistics from all parts of the
country with the intention of convincing
the German government that our home
products are worthy of acceptstion.

In the working up of this natural route

INDIA,

BOMBAY, March 16.-The Indian budget
fully discusses competition of Indian with
American wheat in the London market.
The budget report states that India, though
at great disadvantage with regard to in
ternal communication, has a
great advantage through free
trade. Railway rates from the north to
Bombay are to be Immediately reduced
18112 per cent, which is equivalent to a re-
duction in the price of wheat of one shil-
ling six pence per quarter in the London
market. The report anticipates reduc-
ton of rates on other lines directly.

Three were discontinued. Bishop Keener,

eloquence in wealth, but great deal of
wealth in honest poverty, and lust for gold

ANOTHER OPINION EXPRESSED.
CHICAGO, March 16.-Hon. John F. Fin
erty, congressman elect from the Thir
Illinois district, interviewed in regard to
the attempt to blow up the building in
London, said: may say I'm sorry it was
not more successful. applaud the Irish
in everything they do to get rid of Eng
land and her accursed rule. England
brought this on herself and Gladstone more
than any one else, has himself to thank
for it. Forster's Midlothian speech is
quoted against him by the tories-dId he
say that agitation would be useless till
Clerkenwell prison was blown up. Of course
L regret any innocent person should suffer,
but my sympathy for few of this class Is
entirely overridden by feeling of COM
miseration I have for the great mass of
the Irish people. My countrymen are
poor and starving and the British govern
ment will not aid them. They have reach
ed point where they must fight, and / am
glad to see them do it. l am glad to see
an inaugural war of violence of any kind
tend to free Ireland of the accursed cut
throat who is choking life out of her. If
race war springs out of this it will not be
regretted by any true Irishman.
BRAGGART OoNsPIRAToR.
PEORIA, Ill, March 16.-In an inter
view>with Pat Grove, of this city, he pro-
fessed great exultation at the attempt to
blow up the government building in Lon
don, but did not favor the means en-
ployed. He prefers the silent but destruc-
tive flame of the torch to the detonation
of dynamite. His idea is to place 200 or
800 men in the large cities of England
with few barrels of petroleum to await a
windy night, and at preconcerted signal
to make 100 confagrations III as many
cities, spread terror and destruc-
ton through the land and then make
the British lion howl for peace and accede
to any terms. Pat Grove was fam
boyant, while depicting the scenes of terror
thus caused. He disclaims any connec-
tion with the London explosion, bat re-
joices at its effect. He knew nothing of it
until this morning. He thought Rosa
might have been aware of the plot. He
thinks it undoubtedly the work of lnvinci-
bles. Grove does nothing to assist the
cause of revolution, but hear what the
other fellows are doing and ''sick' them on
from a safe distance, and occasionally
throw out a suggestion as great conspira-
tor, with his mouth, which is harmless
otherwise.
