Buddhism in Russia.

According to Russian law no subject
of the Gar, whether born in or con-
verified to the Russian Established
Church. that is, the Greek Eastern
Church, a abandon his religion under
any circumstances whatever. And there
is no punishment severe enough for the
traitor to his religion. Neither .gihbet
nor bullet nor a Siberian mine is
deemed enough for such a criminal. he
must either return to his religion or die
in an underground cell in some re-
lligions prison. Under such conditions
Russia certainly would seem to be not
favorable soil for free religious thought.
Yet no other country shows to-day such
81 powerful religious fermentation as
Russia. The upper classes are fast
abandoning the Establi she'd ghu Oh for
deism, atheism, spiritualism, Free
Masonry, positivism and Professionalism,
and among the lower classes the Raskol
or Russian Professionalism is assn ming
!multitar.ous forms, from the purest
Irationalism to the crudest superstition.
by virtue OF her g%eograph cal situa-
ition, Russia lies in the center of ali the
cardinal religions of the worll. On the
west she faces the Roman Catholics
and the Irotcstants, on the south the
iMohammedans and on the east t G
Buddhist, the lrahmanists and the
;Confurians. Athome she has a o eat
majority OF Greek I atholics. S,OUO.g0O
Roman Catholics, 3.000,0O0 Hebrews
and as many frotestants, besides sew
eral million pagans. Since stea n and
the printing p ess have irreparably de-
stroyed the barriers between the ma
tons OF the world, q momentous es-
ton has presented itself. -, hich re-
ligion will be the relig Oh of the world:?'
To-day, in the immense domains of the
Gar, q powerful religious struggle is
gazing on, If which no other ,ountry
has any iGea, and ii is here in kussia
that the principal and final battles will
be fought that shall forever settle the
question as to where humanity shall
look for mora GU dance.
e, What curious things would happen
here if religious freedom should be pro
claimed in Russia. Now, there are
millions and millions of russians who
hold a double bel ef, one for the Cars
sake and one TO snit their w con-
science, But with freedom Of religions
ilmany who ere Il w officially orthodox
would at once turn Roman Catholics,
or Protestants, or Raskolmik;, or Mo-
'haimmedans or positiy SITS, or atheists,
or spiritual. SITS, or Buddh's.s, or the
followers OF Brahma- omaJ.
The propagation Of buddhism in
Russia is OF rather recent origin, and it
Is spreading anon. the educated and

The jag Eye See CHALLENGE.

DETROIT, June 27-W. H. Crawford, manager
Tor D. l. Case, owner of Jay Eye See,is in the city
attending the races. Upon being questioned rel
at1ye to the Jay Eye See challenge and the highly
moral ground taken by Vanderbilt in relation
thereto, assuming that the challenge was directed
at his horse, Maud s., Crawford said: 81 do not
see why Vanderbilt accepted the challenge as
being addressed to him, for neither Maud s. or
Clngstone, or their owners names were men
toned. Case has not seen his horses for two
months, and knows nothing of the challenge,
which was merely an open letter.
accompanied by $1,000 forfeit, y as
an earnest that Jay Eye See is
ready to trot any horse as stated It is quite
amusing, in view of the fact that Vanderbilt
should be surprised at the impudence which
prompted us to send our challenge, and that he
asserts he never trots his horses for money.
Maud 5. has, since she has been the property of
v anderbilt trotted at least dozen times against
the best horses and on the best tracks in the
country, and in each instance for money. and her
earnings have been considerable for her owner
and manager. In addition it may be stated that
on July 4th, 1884, Maud s., then owned by Van
derbllt, trotted for gate money over the Detroit
Driving clubs present track

CLEVELAND DIS WEAKNESS.
He will Go to Chicago Without the
Support of His Own State.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. /

NEW YORK, June 27.-Regarding the coming
nomination at Chicago everybody continues at
sea. Cleveland's friends claim that he has ma
jority of the New York delegation while his op-
ponents feel confident he has not. Mr.. Cleve-
land private secretary informed some friends
here day two ago that Cleveland would have
more than so of the votes from that state, and
would of course control the entire delegation
der the unit rule. On the other hand Flower
men say Flower alone has larger number of
votes than Cleveland, and that there are eight
or ten unpledged to either but certainly pledged
against Cleveland. 1t is pretty evident that all
who are counted for Cleveland are not supporting
him. In fact Gov. Dorsheimer for instance has
been supposed to be supporter of Cleveland
but it is observed that every effort to get
Dorsheimer on second brings a refusal to say
anything definite in behalf of Cleveland. Your
correspondent had occasion to call
upon him short time siuceN to
inquire regarding the truth of the New York
Times, that there was scheme to throw the
Cleveland vote to Dorsheimer. The only re-
sponse that that virtuous gentleman deigned to
make was that such questions were very insult
ing. 1t is suggested that had Mr.. Dorsheimer
really been what what he claimed to be, a friend
and supporter of Cleveland, it would have been
quite as easy to say that the statement that the
Cleveland vote was to be cast for him Dors
heimer) was untrue.
1t looks very much though Cleveland was
going to Chicago in very much the same condi-
ton in which Arthur went-unsupported by his
own state.
letter which has just come to the surface
confirms the statement already printed that John
Kelly favors Bayard, and this letter is written by
Mr.. Kelly himself to Senator Jones. Of Florida,
and was shown to your correspondent by that
gentleman.
There is something of boom just now for
Gen. Rosecrans for second place. 1t
is urged that Rosecrans a sec
ond place man would be an excellent offset to
the strength of Blaine in California and Oregon;
that his record as soldier would show well
along side that of Logan and that his standing
friend of the laboring man would add morally
to his strength.
