WILL THERE RE WAR;

Again the war clouds lower threateningly
over the boundary line between the Eastern
possessions of Russia and England. 1t is
reported on the authority of the London
Times correspondent that, while the diplo-
mats at the home Office are protesting that
the Russian policy is pacific. the army
is advancing its outpoSts in Afghanistan.
And it is alleged that to cover this move
ment of the military the commander
in the field claims that the Afghans
are advancing their outpOSts and
asks for instructions. The news
was given out from diplomatic source that
the general had been directed not to take any
action which was likely to precipitate con-
flict. Hardly had this announcement been
made when the news is received from the
front that the Russians are rapidly advauc
Ing their lines in the direction of the lZulf-
kar pass. So the ground wires have been
carefully laid for repetition of the Penj-
deh explosion, whose reyerberatiOns shocked
two continents, and were felt across the
Atlantic and sent the price of wheat,
canned meats and munitions of war
away up into the speculative values.

of Europe, Germany, was menacingly

problem of the hour what action would be
taken were there repetition of the Penj-
deb affair. The theory is entertained that
in case of another provocation as aggrayat-
ing as the last, England would accept the
issue of war and force the fighting,
and that is the attitude of Germany and
perhaps Austria. The bulk of the vast debt
of Russia Is held in Berlin, Vienna and

LOOK ON THIS AND THAT.

The action of the st. Paul chamber of
commerce in relation to the Northern
Pacifics effort to pass through the university
grounds is in very pleasant contrast with
the proceedings of the Minneapolis cham
Der with relation to the same matter yes
terday. The action of the ST. Paul cham
Der was marked with dignity and liberality.
while that of the Minneapolis body was as
discourteOus as it was contracted. We are
confident that the wild and ill-tempered
talk INDUCED in by some of the members
of the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
yesterday does not reflect the sentiment of
the conservative and cool-headed people of
that city. The Minneapolis chamber acted
as though the university was munich
pal property and the resolution of
the st. Paul chamber was a piece
of impertinence 1t seems to for
get that the university is the property
of the state of Minnesota, and that Mime
apolis has no more voice in its control than
Duluth, or Moorhead, or ST. Vincent or
Winona, or any other town of the state.
Being state property the people of St. Paul
have as much interest in the institution as
the people of Minneapolis have Our peo-
pie have as much right to give expression
to any opinion they may have concerning
the university, or make any suggestion rela-
tive to its control, as the people of any part
of the state would have. Consequently.
when the members of the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce allude to the imper-
thence of st. Paul in this matter, they
simply don't know what they are talking
about. st. Paul naturally feels deep and
abiding interest in the success of the uni
versity. 1t also has an important CONNER
cial interest to look after. And when
there came conflict between the
two it was the most proper thing in the
world for the business men of the city to
inaugurate some movement whereby sat

DEATH IN.THE CAN.

Chloride of zinc, which is employed in
the canned goods trade, is deadly poison.
Ulcers Of the stomach and bowels and even
perforation is produced by this corrosive
poison. 1t is now claimed that the fright
full increase of Bright's disease can be traced
to the same cause. 1t is an utter impOssi-
bility to seal a can with chloride of zinc
without an appreciable quantity of the poi
son getting into the can. An experiment
was recently made by the foreman of one
OF the largest canning establishments In
the country of soldering tops ON empty
cans. The experiment was made in the
presence of a number of eminent physicians
and prominent dealers i'm canned goods.
And yet in each case when the can was
opened, after all the care the foreman gave
the soldering process, several drops Of the
chloride of zinc were found in the bottom.
Now when this poison gets into the can
when all this care is used, what is the prob
ability when the cans are sealed as they are in
h rush Of business. The public press has
opened crusade against this dangerous
method of putting up commodities which
the public need and must have. A writer
in the Brooklyn Eagle thus describes the
process Of canning in large establishment
In Baltimore. "A capper receives 10 cents
hundred cans for putting on the caps. He
has to furnish his own tools, fux and sol
der. Instead Of carefully painting round
the can with marking brush, the capper has
a brush as large as that used by a house
painter. His cans are in trays of a dozen
each. he lays his caps on and with one dab
of his brush across the top of the can the
tops Of the whole twelve are rendered acid;
then the soldering iron runs around. The
central hole is not closed. These cans are
then put into an iron crate and lowered into
hot bath, where they stay from i've to
twenty minutes, according to the stuff that
is being processed. The acid left on the
top of the can is washed off with this bath.
and the bath often becomes so acid that the
workmen can solder from the water of the
bath as fiux. The longer the bath is used
the dlrtier II becomes. Now as these goods
are lifted from the bath this central vent
hole is open, and the can is liable TO have
this water of the bath admitted. Still
further Is this liability increased if there Is
leak in the can, making two holes for air
and water instead of one vent"
Now when fusil oil in whisky is known
ito be cause Of Bright's disease, Is it any
wonder, at the rate canned goods are
consumed in this country, and each can has
an appreciable amount of the deadly chic
ride of zinc, which attacks the kidneys.
that the consumption of canned goods
and Bright's disease are going hand in hand
In this countryP Our state laws should
compel the Gamers to seal their goods with

In the afternoon there was parade and
review of troops, and in the evening a
grand display of fireworks, witnessed by
an immense gathering of people. 1t is
estimated that so, 900 visitors were here to-
day. Bands are playing at the different
hotels and great many persons will re-
main here during the night, as it would be
impossible for the roads TO accommodate
the thousands who otherwise would return
home. The depOts are crowded with tired
plcnlckers and trains viii run all night. The
celebration in all its parts has been grand
success.

isfactory adjustment could be obtained so
that neither interest would suffer. The
chamber of commerce and the Jobbers'
union made oyertures to Minneapolis simply
as an act Of courtesy to that city, because
it likewise had commercial interest to look
after, and because the university was
located within its limits. How this cour-
teous demeanor of the st. Paul business
men was appreciated by the chamber of
commerce of our sister city can be seen
from reading yesterdays proceedings OF
that body, which appear in another column
of this mornings GLOBE. Our Mime
apOlis friends may as well understand In
this connection that st. Paul did not intend
by the action of its business bodies to con-
cede that Minneapolis had superior claim
of ownership to the university. We know
that it belongs to the state. We only in
tended to be courteous, and IL our courtesy
is not wanted it will not be forced upon
anybody.

BOb's Opinion of the Revision.

Special TO the Glooe.
New YORK, July 15.-In an interview
to-day Col. Bob Ingersoll of Illinois said Of
the revised Old Testament: 81 do not be-
lieve the work has been fairly DONE The
clergy are not going to scrape the butter off
their own bread. The clergy are offensive
partlsans, and those of each denomination
will wrest the scriptures their way. No
Baptist minister would countenance re-
vision that favored sprinkling, and no Cath
Ole priest would admit that any version
would be correct that destroyed the dogma
of the real presence. Sheol is a great re-
lief. 1t is not so hot as the old
place. The nights are comfortable and
the society Is quite refined. The worms
are dead and the air reasonably
free from noxious vapors. 1t is not much
Of word to head revival with, but much
better for every day USE 1t will hardly
take the place of the old word when people
step on tacks, put up stoves or sit on pins.
But used at church fairs or mite societies,
it will do as well. No one can overesti-
mate the misery and insanity that have
been caused by the frightfuI doctrine of
eternal revenge. 1t has broken millions of
hearts, filled countless eyes with tears,
darkened the lives of a hundred generations
and filled thousands Of asylums with the
insane. SheOl is the better word"
''What about Mr.. Beecher's sermons ON
evolution?" was asked.
'4fr Beecher's sermons on evolution will
do good. Millions of people believe that
Mr.. Beecher knows at least as much as the
other preachers, and if he regards the
atOnement as dogma with mistake for q
foundation, they may conclude that the
whole system is mistake"

CHICAGO, July ia meeting OF the
Chicago passenger committee was held at
Chairman Moore's Office to-day. The sub
ject of rate-cutting was discussed and
charges preferred against the Magoria short
line, but nothing was substantated by
proper evidence and the matter
was dropped for the time being
1t was also shown that though
tickets sold by Western lines by reason Oh
insufficient limit were utilized by the scalp
erS in quantities, and the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved. That the chairman is hereby
instructed TO advise the Western lines that
the roads running east from Chicago are
irving to maintain and live up TO
an agreement for the maintenance
of rates. One Of the hindranceS to it Is the
fact that the Western lines issue OF tickets
comes into the Chicago market ana into the
hands OF scalpers at less than the
prevailing rates out OF chicago,
and he is authorized to request
them to render the east-bound committee
their assistance by giving the proper orders
governing their issue OF through tickets SO
as to prevent any further decentralization III
this direction.
There seems to be regular trade eStab-
lished in the aforementioned tickets ana IL
is suspected that there is couuslon between
the offending roads and the Chicago
brokers whereby the tickets are redeemed If
not DISPOSED Of Their use is having bad
effect on through rates, and 1t IS hoped that
the Western lines may be induced TO quit
the practice complained OF. Another meet
ing will be held on Monday next and the
subject will be further considered.

TELLER did all II was possible for him TO do
in the matter, and gave a printed form or
recommendation for pardon 10 the senator 10
take to the attorney general for HIS signature,
if he would approve it. The lady remained IN
Mr.. BoTELERs room. In a short time the
senator returned and handed the paper back
TO Mr.. BoTLLER. The latter hesitated about
opening It lest the lady might faint II the
pardon were denied, and might do the same
If It were recommended. But, finally opening
II, he saw the recommendation had been
made. Just as he expected, the lady swoOned;
but, recovering herself in moment, she
arose, and, opening her arms, advanced to-
ward him. He backed behind HIS desk, and,
pointing to Mr.. BECK, said, "Him, himi'' But
when she turned TO Mr.. BECK, he retreated
toward the door, and, pointing 10 Mr.. BORE

Condition of the postoffice.

WASHINGTON, July IA The revenues
of the postoffice department during the
quarter ending March 81 last were $40, 1858, :
1874, and the expenditures $12, 428, 1872,
leaving deficit of 81, Sos, 553. During the
corresponding quarter last year the ex-
penditures were but 81, 62S, 99S, and the
revenue $40, S4S, 56s. Thus it appears that
the deficit for the March quarter of the
present year Is $3.50, 1853 in excess of the de-
hcit during the corresponding quarter of 1884
The financial officers Of the department
had estimated that the deficit at the end of
the present fiscal year would be between
81, coo, 900 and $4,000, 900. but they are
now OF the opinion that the deficit will ag-
gregate Sc, 600, 900. The reduction in reve-
nue. and increase of expenditures is attribu
ted to business depression, which is quickly
felt in the postoffice department.
