The Czar scolds His Foreign Minister.

The Gear Scolds His Foreign Minister.
st. Petersburg Special.
The Car is of very impulsive nature and
when excited he calls his ministers to account
with terse military abruptness. An eye-wit-
ness vouches for the accuracy of the following
piquant scene which took place few days ago
at the Imperial residence at Gatchina. The
Car sent an aide, de camp to summon NJ. Giers
in hot haste to his presence. When the minis
ter arrived the Czar opened the conversation by
saying, IN. De Giers, you have been promising
far too much"
M. De. Giers, embarrassed, replied: "Sire
my statements have been exaggerated in Lon
dom"
The Czar rejoined my statements have been
exaggerated in my own ministry of foreign
affairs. The case is this: You have been ham
mering away at me for the last
five weeks to obtain my consent to a sort of
quasi arbitration on immaterial points in order
to save Ito use your own words) a point
dhouneur for England. told you that, as the
very last resort was ready to agree to this
merely to enable Mr.. Gladstone to back out of
cul de sac with grace. Then You 60 and tell
Lord Granville. Sir Edward Thornton and Baron
de Staal that all is prepared for real arbitra
tration. Then your statement is in turn exag
gerated in London until at last everybody seems
TO take it for granted that Russia is ready to
yield and disgracefully submit to foreign
decision on matters that concern solely Russia
never give up any essential point nor allow any
reflection to be placed upon General Komaroff
who throughout has acted with discretion and
moderation"
After this NJ De Giers offered his resigna
ton, which, however, thanks to the mediation of
the Empress. was not accepted. NJ. De Giers's
position is rather shaky, but it is still firmly
believed here that war has been averted.

Lord Randolph Churchill moved reduction
of f2 00O C00 for the purpose of calling atten-
tion to Saturdays Blue Book on the Penjdeh
incident. He said that the indignation
aroused by the perusal of the dispatches
was not confined to the Tory party,
but was shared by the country at large, and
even by the Liberal newspapers. Lord Randolph
maintained that NJ De Giers had said nothing
to justify Mr. Gladstone's statement in Parla-
ment that it had been agreed that no further
advance should be made on either side. He
declared that Mr.. Gladstone's statement on
March 13, was a fiction, without the smallest
justification.
Mr.. Gladstone's reply to Lord Randolph
Churchill was delivered amid continuous noisy
Conservative Interruptions When the noise
reached its climax Mr.. Gladstone stopped
for several minutes Then, in a
broken voice, he remarked that this kind of po-
litical warfare was little matter to him,
whose personal presence was a question
of months rather than of years The
opposition remained silent during the rest
of the speech. Mr.. Gladstone said he was una
bio yet to explain fully the Anglo Russian
agreement of March IL, but he believed it TO be
covenant Of the most sacred character.

LONDON, May 1s.-Judge Hawkins this morn
ing began the summing up in the case of Gun
nineham and Burton, on trial for treason felony,
in connection with the recent dynamite explo-
sions The Judge explained the nature of the
charge against the prisoners and the law in re-
lation thereto. He then anayzed the evidence
against Burton, and called the attention Of the
jury to the fact that Burton's statement was
not made under oath and therefore entitled to
very little eredence. If there was any truth in
the statement, said the Judge, it was astounding
that no witness was called to support IL.

Who Bitterly Hate the Republican Revenue
Collectors.

Collectors.
Special to the Irdianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-IIiggins, appointment
clerk of the Treasury, is quoted saying that
among the first sweeping changes under the
Treasury Department will be the removal of
every Republican revenue collector in the serv-
ice. If there is one federal official Of the gov
ernment cordially hated in the Southern States,
it is the Republican collector of internal revenue
taxes. To the distiller of mountain dew in
the Carolina Georgia and Tennessee mount
aims, this official represents the one tie
that binds this country to down trodden
Russia. Since the advent Of the Democracy
to power the revenue officials have had to cope
with renewed outbreak of the mania for con-
traband whisky which seems to have such an
exceedingly tight hold upon the dwellers in the
mountains Of the States named, and at least
dozen of the officers have been wounded or
killed outright while attempting TO protect the
revenue from the illicit distlllers An old reve-
nue. agent told your correspondent tonight that
there have been at least FIVE hundred new stills
all in operation since March 4, and that there is
more dew in the villages of North Carolina
to-day than there has been before in ten years.

Riot In Nicholas.
4 Preacher Receives 45 Shots.

The Nicholas Chronicle gives a
lively account of riot in that
County in which Rev. C. w. Nc
Chung was the chief victim.
After describing the organized
band the account says:
Two young ladies were sent in
advance with orders to capture the
parson, and put him in conspicu-
Gus place-that all might have a
fair shot at him. They according
ly rushed for~ ard and into the
house, where they found him quiet
ly sitting by the Preside conversing
with two OF his ministerial breth-
rem. The young ladies seized him,
without ceremony, and the whole
force rushed up and commenced
firing at him, one at a time, until
he received about forty-five shots.
The cartridges used consisted of ba-
con hams, dresses, shirts, dress
patterns, green and dried fruits,
canned fruits, tin-ware, groceries
&c. After the shooting, some COW.
ardly tramp ran up and knitted him
with an old barlow.
Rev. A. J. McClung then address
ed the crowd with few brief and
pointed remarks, in his usual kind
and generous manner, after which
tie rioters dispersed Immediately.
1t is thought that the parson will
recover, by the assistance of his
wife and children, they being all
in good health. There has been
no arrests of the rioters made, at
this writing, neither have the le-
gal authorities made any move in
that direction. Strong suspicion
rests On Miss Florence McClung as
the instigator Of the uproar.
Let pastors take warning from
the above, and it they desire this
holy persecution let them take care
how they demean themselves be-
fore their congregation.
