ON THE TENTED FIELD.
England Makes . Call on Russia
The Cars Troops Moving
Forward.
By cable from LondonI

by cable from L0u00u-j
The atmosphere is quivering with rumors
from Russia and from the Soudan. One
succeeds the other with rapidity. and there
is q feeling of insecurity everywhere which
is creating nervous feeling in commercial
circles that is alarming. At meeting OF
the Cabinet this afternoon 1t was resolved
to firmly demand of Russia that she COM
mence forthwith the work of deimitlng the
Afghan frontier, in accordance with the I'M
derstanding under which Sir Peter Lums-
den and the British surveying party passed
SO many months in the Ameer's dominion
1t has been indefinitely aseertained that
the Porte has asked Prince Bismarck Tor
his advice concerning the advisabiiity OF an
alliance between Turkey and Russia against
England. Lord Granville, Minister Tor
Foreign Affairs, had special interviews to-
day with both MuSurus Pasha, the Turkish
Minister, and Fehmi Pasha, the special en-
voy of the Turkish Governmental England.
The Earl of Kimberly, British Secretary
of State for India. in the House OF Com
mons this evening. in answer to question,
stated that he had, on behalf Of the Gov
eminent, informed a deputation that the
Government had decided to annex Upper
Burmah to the Queens Indian Empire. He
uuocu tnht ntl &uhJtoty eh@Ao -
present rendered it necessary for the Gov
eminent to exercise great prudence In en-
gaging in any enterprise beyond the from
tiers of India. Earl Dufferin. the present
Indian Viceroy, has been instructed to en-
deavor to improve the british relations with
the Burmese.
Alarm is intensified by the suspicion that
a secret treaty between the Porte and the
Gar has already been signed. 1t was ru-
mored that the Turkish representatives
made exorbitant demands, but that Earl
Granville felt constrained TO seemingly ac-
quiesce. And so Uniformed people had
been led to hope that for the present, at
least Turkey had been drawn away from
Russia. Although the latest rumors create
excitement and indignation, they occasion
little surprise. The treachery of the Sultan
was not unexpected. He has long desired
to divert the attention of his subjects from
the scandalous extravagance of his court
That could be successfully accomplished
by foreign war.
War appears to be inevitable. The assur-
ances of the Ministers that peace will prob
ably be maintained are not considered Of
much value. Indeed, their practices belle
their professions. They have given hugo
orders for supplies and munitions Of war,
and this shows that preparations are being
rapidly pushed forward for great conflict.
All officers belonging to the British Indian
army who are now in Europe on furlough
have been ordered to Immediately rejoin
their respective regiments.
Dispatches received at Vienna state that
10000 Russian troops are ON their way
from the Caucasus district to the Afghan
frontier.
The Boston Herald prints the following
private cable dispatch. received from re
liable source: There is great excitement
in London. 1t is reported that 10000

TURKEY FOR SUNSET cox.
The New York Congressman Appointed
Minister to Constantinople.
Washington special. ]

Considerable surprise was expressed to-
tive S. s. Cox, Of New York. had been
nominated by the President to the Minister
to Turkey. 1t was known to the friends of
Mr.. Cox that he was growing tired of Con-
gressional service. Several times last win
ter he talked about resigning his seat in
the House to engage In literary pursuits,
but none suspected that he had any desire
for further public service in different de-
partment of the Government.
Mr.. Cox is one Of the best known men in
Congress, having for the past twenty -four
years been legislative. brilliant, and USE
full member of the House. He first en-
tered Congress in l857as the member from
the Columbus, o., district, and served con-
tinuously as the member from that district
until 1865, when he removed to New York.
He again entered Congress as the represent
tative of New York City district In 1869,
and has served continuously since
that time, having been reelected to
the next Congress. The work in Con-
gress with which Mr.. Cox will be
best known in the future, is the life-sav-
ing service, which he was instrumental in
establishing, and over which he has watched
with commendable zeal and great enthusi-
dSHl ne Dlcbcnt CAbtitiit1 VI tuit ccINlCc
is mainly due to Mr.. Cox's care and vigil
ance, aided by the efforts of Mr.. Sumner I.
Kimball, Chief of the Life Saving Bureau.
Mr.. Cox also performed valuable work in
the preparation OF the legislation under
which the tenth census was taken. Mr..
Cox is man of liberal education, and is
the avthor of several works in which his
observations while travelling in foreign
lands are narrated. At present he is en-
gagged in the publication of vol
ume giving his recollections of fed
eral legislation during the three decades
ending with the current year, which
will include personal and historical men,
ories and events preceding. during. and
subsequent to the civil war. The intended
and varied experience of Mr.. Cox in public
affairs and his extensive travels in foreign
lands qualities him to become an efficient
diplomatic representative. He is not with
out experience in the foreign service, hav-
ing been Secretary of Legation at Peru
during the term of President Pierce. His
appointment gives great satisfaction to
those who served with him in Congress,
and is generally spoken of as an excellent
selection. 1t is believed that Mr.. Cox ac-
cepted the mission to Turkey in order to
secure opportunities for travel and obser-
vation in the Orient with a view Of produce
ing work on the countries and people of
the East.

POLITICAL.

The Supreme Court of the United
States rendered decision affirming the con-
stitutionality of the act creating tho Utah
Commission, to supervise elections, but de-
claring that the rules CT the Registrars, ap-
pointed by the Commission, are of no force.
One Of the rules compels persons applying
for registration TO swear that they arc not
poIygamists. The Court main tains the power
OF Congress to make such laws for Terri
tories as may fit them for Statehood, and
asserts that the statute for preserving sacred
family ties, by dispensing with plurality of
wives in the household, is praiseworthy and
commendable.

A Skillful Professor.

"Ah, hahl" exclaimed Prof. Mayor
huff, looking up from book and turn
ing to his wife.
"What have you found, dear?"
Listen to this from Horace Greeley:
Il am fully persuaded that if chopping
wood were universal, rheumaticm and
dyspepsia would be unknown
"Well, what of that?" asked Mrs
Mayorhuff.
What of it? Why, 1 shall chop
wood, that's what there is of it."
did you ever chop wood?"
"Did 1 ever chop wood? Haven't
been editor of the Woodmdn for years
Didn't my article, How to Clear up
New Ground, create sensation? OF
course it did. Jane, swear that some
times / believe you are blind. Did /
ever chop wood, indeed have just or
dered cord of hard oak wood and I
shall chop it myself. Aside from the
healthful exercise, it will save money.
1 shall order an ak sent up Just as soon
as go down town."
When the professor returned at din
ner time, he asked if the ak had come.
"Yes, it's out there on the porch"
well, shall go to work at once"
II hope SO. We are needing some
now, for the weather has turned awful
cold"
Don't fret. You shall have all the
wood you want"
The professor went out, and after
laboring three hours, brought in two
small sticks that looked as though they
had been pnawed in two.
"This enough?"
Enough, the mischief! It's not
enough to start fire.
The professor pulled and "blowed"
awhile, and then went out again.
Three hours later he came in again
with two more sticks.
"This do?"
"Of course it won't. Well have snow
before morning."
"Snowl" he exclaimed, wiping his
reeking brow.
"Yes, snow"
"Weil, don't care if it falls fifty
feet deep, / am not going to- chop any
more to-day. Needn't expect a man to
kill himself just because we are going
to have snow
Just then rap came at the door.
Come in" called the professor, too
tired to get up. What have you got
there?"
AK from the hardware store. Made
mistake before and sent you grub
bing hoe"
Mrs. Mayorhuff shouted and the pro-
lessor collapsed. Traveller.

Shutting.

A high school girl in a West End car, the
other afternoon, took nat oxIdzed silver
box from her hand bag. carefully removed
the cover, pinched a few grains of snuff COL
ored powder on the pink tips Of her dainty
fingers. and pushed it up her nostrils with a
dexterous grace that Il confirmed snuff taker
would have envied. Half dozen passengers
stared ut her in amazement. She smiled
placidly, brushed off her upper lip with a
lace handkerchief, and remarked to her COM
panion;
ooh, I've such a cold"
"So've l." was the response.
on came the cover again. the silver box
was passed over as man hands out paper
of tobacco and another pinch Of the brown
powder vanished up another charming little
nose. Bth girls sneezed once, very mildly
and got of the car.
A fashionable jaweler said: We have fire.
qnent calls for snuf boxes, silver and gold
ones. from young men as well as young
women. 1t is simply what you might call a
notion can't say whether anything is put
into the boxes, but do know that young
people buy them and carry them"
A druggist said; oh, no; il wasn't snuff
The girls have an idea that it is fashionable
to carry those boxes, and naturally enough
they want something to put in them. Gen
une fermented tobacco snuff would make
them sick. We mix up a harmless com
pound. p.rfumed like sachet powder, put in
a little pearlash to keep it damp, and just
enough Scotch yellow to tickle them little
and make them sneeze. When q girl putt
one of those boxes on the counter and say
that she wants something to clear cold ir
the head. we know what she means. Nash
