The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1885-05-30

LONDON, May 24.-Althoush the Cabi-
hea have separated for the Whitsuntlde
recess. Lord Granville remains In town,
only running down to Walmer Castle for
a few hours, and being within easy call
at any moment. Special messengers can
reach Walmer Castle with dispatches
from Downing street in three hours, and
there are private wires from his lord
ships room at the Foreign Office and his
private apartments at the castle. Only
those ministers whose departments are
not actively connected with the army,
navy and foreign Offices are beyond inn
mediate reach. A Cabinet council could
be summoned and attended by all the
Ministers directly interested in six to
eight hours and in the event of a sudden
emergency arising Lord Granville and
MIR. Gladstone coulo be placed in instant
communication with each other with ex-
elusive control of the wires.
RUssIA's FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
The end OF the present state of sus.
pense is at hand. A decision for war or
peace is confidently believed at all the
embassies to be a question OF hours and
minutes. continuance of the strained
financial situation In Russia Is not mere.
1y intolerable; it is simply impossible.
AT the Treasury office it is stated that the
daily expenditure of the Russian Govern
ment under the existing war pressure
actually exceeds the total daily cost of
the Turkish campaign, and 1t is estimated
that the war credit of 10000, 900 reubles,
recently opened, will be exhausted early
In June. A large proportion of the pay
ments for the enormous Russian con-
tracts for war materials now out, must
be made in paper, or fresh loans pro-
cured from native capitalists and bankers,
it being impracticable in the present
etate of the market 10 float Rus.

England. Trading credit has already
been severely shaken and business bad
ly demoralized in all the leading shipping
and commercial centers OF the empire by
the prospect of active hostilities and the
bombardment of the seaports by British
fleets. The imposition of fresh taxes is
imminent, and the financial situation SC

uncertainty prevailing from one end Of
the Cars dominions to the other.
These facts are thoroughly discussed
and understood here, and are regarded
at the embassies as insuring decisive &C.

ment at an earlier date than is generally
looked for.

Cat parties ara tho latest entertainments.
Hecently young girl, the- happy posessor
of a fine Maltese cat invited number of
her friends TO bring their pet cats to 8
o'clock tea, each cat to have ribbon about
its neck corresponding to that worn by its
mistress. At the appointed hour the cats
made their appearance in charge OF their
respective owners After the feline Intro
ductions had taken place, some OF which
We're the T. yerse Of friendly, games were in
troduced, u. oft balls toy mice and Other
objects doaI heart were provided.
These pastim 'woyer, grisye 10 say,
we're sometimes marred by vigorous slap
when two strangers camo In collision and
once the belligerent pussies had to be sspa-
ratsd by friends When tea was announced,
a table furnished with saucers OF milk and
small cakes, and with cushioned stools, was
disclosed. The floral decorations consisted
of catnip. lavender, grasses and bright
flowers. The cats, placed on their respect
i've stools, and attended by their mistresses
partook Of the good cheer sot before them
Their behavior was quite correct With
their fore paw on the table, they Tapped the
milk with becoming propriety.
When all were satisfied, there was com
ical sight, Each pussy began making her
toilet, and tho face washing was decorous
In the extreme After leaving the table, a
rrrig Of catnip was given each kitty, and
the feline happiness was complete. Thea
sprigs were tossed in the air caught and
lovingly caresssd. As each kitty departed,
IL was presented with its ball or toy mouse

"A born leader some said Of him, while
others voted him IA born tyrant," setting bis

so small and frail and afraid that the

last; his own little daughter was afraid of
him. Taking her in his arms and eating
himself beside the window looking out upon
great beautiful prairie, he forgot his loss

Soon Bonny's merry laugh rang out and
papa's too. Mammals face bore brighter
