What Everything Depends Upon.

LONDON, May 2.-The situation may per-
haps best be summed up by quoting the
usually conservative Berlin correspondent
of The Daily Telegraph: gave you to I'm.
derstand," he says, "that the question Of
peace or war would be decided within
week. l can now add that definite informa-
ton on this allimportant point will be
forthcoming on Monday or Tuesday next
at the latest 1t is, indeed, possible that all
suspense will be at an end this week. Every
thing now depends on the answer now
awaited from Russia to the firm demands
recently put forward by our government,
l cannot, with the data at my disposal, hold
out much hope that Russias reply
will be of a satisfactory character. To
go no further the account just pub
lished by The Russian Official Gazette
says that the cars government maintains
its ground with regard to Komaroff's con-
duct. The Moscow Gazette actually has the
face to accuse the British officers attached
to the frontier commission of untruthful-
ness. Then the intelligence of the renewed
advice Of the Russian troops tends to con-
firm the impression that the affair has now
passed the bounds OF diplomatic action and
has developed into a purely military ques-
ton, to be solved vi ct armis This re-
calls the famous saying of Bismarck: WAR
is not likely to break out until both the dis
putting parties begin to issue documents"
IE"We are able to state" says Friday morn.
ing's Standard, upon unquestionable au-
thority, that the English proposal to Russia
is for the submittal to the arbitration of one
of the crowned heads of Europe of the simple
question whether or mot the convention OF
March II was broken by Russia. This pro
posal is now under consideration by the Rus
sian government, which has decided to con.
woke a meeting of the committee of minis
tiers at Gatschina to consider the question. y

Providing the "Sinews."

LONDON, MAY 2-The forecast OF Mr.
Childers of the deficit in the budget for the
ensuing financial year, which is estimated
at IA, 9S2, 900 pounds sterling, has created q
sensation. 1t is the largest deficit
since the Crimean war Mr.. Childers
said it would require a great demand
upon the patriotism of the people.
Foreign patent medicins will be charged the
same duty as those manufactured in Eng
land. but stamps for foreign medicines viii be
SO altered as to avoid any appearance of
the medicines being English. The increase
of the income tax to 8 pence will, it is es.
timated, yield 5, 100000 pounds sterling, the
notifications of the probate and legacy
duties and other property taxes 10000
pounds sterling; the duties on spirits 800 00U
pounds sterling and the duty on beer $50, =
900 ponds sterling. The remainder of the
deficit will be met by suspending pay
ments toward the reduction of the national
debt and the stopping of the sinking fund
and terminable annuities. The remainder
OF the deficit, amounting to 2, 8l2, 900 pounds
sterling, will be dealt with next year. The
house agreed to the budget resolution.
The Daily Telegraph says the budget is
acceptable, and that it is not likely TO impair
the prospects of the Liber al candidates in
the next general election.
The Times says: "The budget is ingenious
and in principle equitable, but can hardly
be reckoned among the courageous and log
ical achievements of constructive genius in
finance"
The Standard says: "Ten days of peace
and prosperity when the liberal chancellor:
were embarrassed with SURPRISES are past
Mr. Childers has met the difficulties with
COURAGE. The scheme on the whole is
highly commendable one."

Typhoid Fever.

/ am sixtyseven years old, and have lived in

eight years ago was regarded as the strongest
man in the neighborhood-the most robust in
health. In November, 1856, ! had long and
serious spell of typhoid fever. 1t left me emacia
ted and cripple in my right leg. At times that
limb was swollen an enormous size, being twice
as large its natural condition, and infamed
and angry in appearance. From my knee down
small sores came, and at the ankle large nicer
came, which discharged poisonous matter MY
whole system became infected. The doctors
would patch me up for awhile, but the ulcers
would never heal. The mercury and potash with
which they dosed me brought on rheumatism and
dyspepsia. i was an object of pity to all my
friends. Some thought that the only hope to save
life was amputaton. | continued to grow worse,
and for three years have not worn shoe. Hope
had almost left me. Swift's Specific was sug
gested, and commenced its use at once. From
the very first began TO feel better. l have taken
thirty-six bettles and the shadows which had
darkened my life for twenty-eight years have all
been dissipated The effect of the medicine has
been wonderful indeed To-day am able to at
tend to all my farming interests, and walk from
one to five miles per day am satisfied that the
disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth
am to be free from those terrible apprehensions
and suffering which formerly made my life rliser
able. Swft's Specific has done more for me in
one year than all the drug store medicine pre-
scribed by physicians did in twenty eight years,
and most cheerfully bear this testimony of its
merits. WIN r. REED.

PTTTsBURG, May 2 AT half-past 2 Friday
afternoon the two committees representing
the iron manufacturers and the amalga-
mated association of iron and steel work
men, met in secret session in the
rooms of the Western Iron association,
to hold the first conference in regard to the
scale of wages for the coming year. Opin-
ions among those interested widely differ in
regard to the ultimate result Some predict
that the conference will amount to nothing,
as the workers representatives have not
been given full discretionary powers.
Others say that the workmen will present
two scales-one for iron, and another for
steel, the latter demanding an advance in
prices, in order to assist the puddlers in
their struggle. In some quarters it is stated
that if the workers will propose or accept a
10 per cent reduction, the employers will at
once accept those terms. The best-informed

Regulation Of the stock Yards.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 2.-Representa-
tive Cleary's bill, which passed the house
Thursday after hard fight, prohibits stock
yards corporations from charging more
than reasonable compensation for handling
or delivering stock, hotel bills, feeding,
weighing, carrying or watering stock, or
for yardage, under a penalty of from $500
to $500 for the first offense and $500 to
$1,000 for the second. Similar penal
ties are imposed for unjust discrimin-
alton between shippers and buyers, and re-
bates, drawbacks, or other evasions are
made conclusive evidence Of unjust discrim-
nation. Yardage charges are fixed at 10
cents for horses, mu.es and cattle, cents
for hogs, cents for sheep, and it is made
unlawful to charge for feed more than SO
per cent in excess of usual market prices.
The feature of the bill which met most OPP
position is the provision making it unlawful
for stock yards companies to prohibit own
ers from selling dead animals to any person
they may choose.

withdrawal Of Spirits from Bond.


WASHINGTON CITY, May "A circular
which has an important bearing upon the
question of the withdrawal of distilled
spirits from bonded warehouses and their
expectation, for the purpose of avoiding the
immediate payment of the internal revenue
tax thereon, was issued by the commits
sioner of internal revenue Thursday.
1t is addressed to the collector internal
revenue at Boston, and relates to a
certain lot of distilled spirits belong
ing to Mills s. Co, of that city. Mills s.
Co appealed from the decision of the col
lector to the secretary of the treasury, who,
in decision rendered several days ago,
sustained the collector, but directed that the
spirits be turned over to the internal rev.
enue authorities. The circular issued su-
thorizes the collector of internal revenue at
Boston to surrender the spirits to Mills &
Co. upon payment of internal revenue tax
upon the spirits as gagged at the time of
their withdrawal from tho warehouse with
out allowance of leakage or evaporation.

main cause of the Indian rising would
probably be found in the absence of the

honest agents. If so the guilty persons
would be punished. Senator Alexander
responded in denunciation of the gov
ernmens Indian policy and quoted from the
superintendent of Indian affairs six months
ago, showing that the Indians were starving

WASHINGTON Cry, May 2-Mr Sheldon
jackson, educational agent at Sitka, has
telegraphed to Indian Commissioner Atkins
that there is difference of opinion between
the judicial authorities of Sitka and the
home missions of the Presbyterian church in
regard TO tine education of indian children.
1t appears that a number Of Indian
children have entered the home mission
school under agreement with the parents Of
the Indians. Many whites are opposed to
the Indian school, and the matter was finally
brought into court The court decided that
written agreements with the parents of the
Indian children to enter the school were not
legal and that verbal agreements were not
binding This decision has had the effect Of
taking from the school fifty-six Indian
children. Agent jackson asks that the in
fiuence of the judicial authorities be exerted
in building up the schools instead of tearing
them down, and Indian Commissioner At
kins joins in the request The government
contributes to the support of this school,
