Abe American Manufacture Leads.


Linoleum," a remarkably durable
article for a floor-covering, has now
reached such perfection Of manufacture
in this country as professedly to be SUI
perior TO that of any foreign make.
The importation of the best article
manufactured in England has been aban-
doned, and only the inferior grades now
find a market here.
In style, color, and finish the Ameri-
can manufacturers know how to cater
TO the tastes Of our people aud the re-
quircEents Of our climate. While tbs
imported cloth shortly after being placed
on the floor will look dirty and dingy,
our own make will appear bright. clean,
and pleasing. All carpet-dealers keep it.

WAR CERTAINLY PREDICTED.

BRUSSELS. April LIE Nord, the
the most rabid pro-Russian newspaper
in Belgium, now predicts war between
Russia and England. lie Nord is re-
garded as a semi-oiiicial organ OF the
Russian Government, and this article
is believed to have been inspired. The
paper has hitherto expressed sanguine
hopes Of peace, but it now says that
war is impending. 1t says that the
open threats and insults to Russia con-
tanned in the toaSts of Ameer Abdur-
rahman and Lord Duflerin were equiya-
lent to declaration of war, even while
England was appealing for Cancellation.

THE LONDON FITNESS COMMENT
ON THE sITUATION-RUsSIAN Of
PICERS BEING REWARDED.
lBy cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON, April 1.-THE Times
SAYS that subsequent developments
have not lessened the gravity Of the
situation. The country will not be
satisfied with De Gier's reply, which
commits Russia to no condemnation of
Komarcff's action, and provides for de-
lay when days and hours are of vital
consequence, and leaves KomarOff at
liberty to frame such excuses as will
most likely affect European opinion.
1t is impossible to doubt that Koma-
roff's act had much larger aims than
the election Of the Afghans from all
important position.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
that decorations and rewards have
already been conferred by telegraph on
Russian officers and soldiers who took
part in the battle with the Afghans.
Various rumors are ahoat to the
effect that some English officers were
killed in the Russo-Afghan engagement
and that the Aighans have risen against
the English.

The american Rural Home of Roches-
ter, publishes special crop reports from
all the winter and spring wheat growing
states. These reports say that in the
northwest the winter wheat situation is
generally considered favorable, but Michi-
gan alone raises a crop equal TO that of
1884. In southern Illinois. Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky
there has been no improvement in the
past thirty days. In the latter two states
the millers are buying old wheat to start
up their mills. The failure of winter
wheat will disastrously affect the rail
roads. The spring wheat prospects indi-
cate an average crop, if the hot sun does
not scorch it. The grass crop of the
northwest will not equal that of 1884.
Oats stand bountifully. Corn shows great
improvement, having made great gain
in the last fourteen days.

The Rev. DR.. s. Irenmus Prime died of
paralysis at Manchester, Vt, ON Saturday
at 12.45 p. m. He was born nj Ballston
Saratoga county, New York, in 1912, and
graduated from Williams College in 1929.
He was the son of clergyman and fol-
lowed his fathers profession, entering
the ministry of the Presbyterian Church
after graduationg from the Princeton Theo-
logical Seminary. His health did not
permit him to continue regular service in
the pulpit, and in 1910 he became an
associate editor of the New York
Observer, the leading organ of the
Presbyterian denomination He has
been regular contributor to its
pages yer since and its leading spirit for
the I ct 80 years, as well as one of its
proprietors. DIR. Prime was an extensive
traveller and is the author of many books
of travel and others of q religious nature.
He has also been most active in all
branches of church work and various
benevolent enterprises. In 1878 he was
chairman of the committee having charge
of the Evangelical Alliance, and in 1874
was elected one of the vice presidents of
the American Tract Society. He was
also officially connected with the Ameri-
can Bible Society, the American and
Foreign Christian Union, the American
Colonization Union, the United States
Evangelical Alliance, the New York Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science
and Art, the Williams College and the
Wells College for Young Ladies' at
Aurora, New York. He was leader in
the movement which eliminated in the
union of the old and new schools of the
Presbyterian Church, and has at all times
been a most Jealous and successful
worker in benevolent and Christian
undertakings.

..I,lw rrann,, Mccoy. case.

The New York Times says Ex-Assis-
tant District Attorney O'Byrne, counsel
for "Big Frank Mccoy, has procured
from Judge Davis stay of proceedings
under the mandate of Gov. Hill for Me-
Coy's extradition to Delaware, on condi-
ton that the printed arguments ON the
appeal from Donohue's order, rendered
in accordance with the governors opin-
ion, shall be presented to the judges
of the general term within 10 days. Not
expecting such speedy procurement of
the stay and hearing an appeal, Mr..
0'Byrne hud obtained writ of habeas
corpus in the United States Circuit
Court. The writ was returnnble yester-
day. As it was made unnecessary, for
the time being mt least, il will be con-
tinued inf force until the final decision on
the case in the state courts. Should that
decision be unfilvorable TO "Big Frank"
Mr.. 0'Byrne will move in the United
states Circuit Court for the alb
Bolpte discharge of the bur-
glar' ON the ground that the
sentence imposed on him in Delaware, and
from tile effects of which he partly
escaped by flight, was void, because it
contemplated the infection Of that cruel
and unusual punishment which is pro-
hibited by the Constitution of the United
States. Mccoy was sentenced to receive
40 lashes, stand in the piNory for an hour,
pay fine of $500 and tina costs of the
prosecution, and be imprisoned for 10
years. He WINS beaten and pilloried, but
he eyaded his fine and part OF the term of
his imprisonment.

A meeting of the Brandywine Summit
Camp Meeting Associations trustees and
committee on privileges was held on the
camp ground on Saturday afternoon.
The ice cream, fruit and bread stands
were leased to A. v. Hysore of this city,
his bid, 1876, being the highest. j. A.
Oliver, Jr., of this city leased the book
stand, the camp meeting association to
receive per cent of the gross receipts
John McQunde of Elan was appointed

Slaughter was selected to erect tents, he
having agreed to erect 12xl6 feet tents at
Sl.20 cents each and 12x24 feet tents at
$l.S0. A.V. Hysore was engaged to do job
work, at 20 cents per hour. Twelve pro-
posals were considered, twice as many as
there were year ago. This is believed
to be an indication that great interest will
be taken in this years camp. Committees
were appointed as follows by the trus-
tees: 10 receive bids for straw, Thomas
Johnson on light, w. N. Mccormick
and Lewis 7. Grubb; on water, Thomas
johnson. The lumber committee re-
ported that it has bids under considera-

DISEASED MEAT.
A Reporter Traces Diseased Cattle
From Trains 20 Meat Stalls.

AHDhA AAAhth9 ~ NhCtAe 9Athhlhs
Associated Press Disuatch by Special Wires.
CHICAGO, July 22.-One of the morning
newspapers here, following up the ques-
ton Of diseased meat, sent early yester-
day morning reporter TO the stock
yards in order to be on hand when the
first batch of diseased cattle arrived.
The two meat inspectors were con-
spicuous by their absence. Though it is
snid that no infected cattle can escape
their vigilance, the most favorable oppor-
tunities to run infected cattle into the
city were had yesterday morning.
Farmers and raisers Of stock, when they
find diseased animal in their herds, do
not dispatch il forthwith, but ship it to
this city. Some drcvers do kill such cattle
in order to prevent disease from spreading
to the rest Of the herd, but the small
hearted breeders do not. They do not
want to lose money, no matter who
suffers, and it is pretty generally known
throughout the west TINT the Chicago
stock yards are ready market for any
kind of live stock. As long as they can dis.
pose of an infected steer for $40 SO long
will bad cattle arrive in Chicago over the
Burlington rond.
The usual number of diseased cattle
arrived yesterday. They We're driven
into the pens and subsequently sold and
then slaughtered for Chicago consump-
ton.
The first train was long .one and, in
