THE POLICY OF THE TORIES
Stated By Lord Salisbury I'm Par IIament Yesterday-The Parleyins rTo 6SO Rn with Rmasfa

Stated By Lord Salisbury I'm Par
 lament Yesterday--The Parleying
 To Go On With Russia.
 LONDON, July 6.-Parliament resumed this afternoon. In the House of Lords the Mar quis of Salisbury, the new prime minister and also minister for foreign affairs, made an announcement covering the attitude which the Tory ministry had decided to assume in it's relations with foreign powers. He said that the parleying with Russia would be re- stunned at the point at which Lord Granville had ceased, and that all the pledges that had been already made would be respected. His lordship said that he deemed it unwise at this time to attach excessive importance to the result of the parleying. One thing, however, was imperative, and that was to at once make active and complete preparations for the mainten- anee of England's power in the East. In referring to the Egyptian question Lord Salisbury said that it would be impossible to entirely abandon the Soudan. His lordship said that everything concerning Egypt must await the removal of the present financial deadlock in which that country was involved and he concluded by making an appeal for time. ''The ministry" he said, ''could not at such short notice disentangle the web which my predecessor has wound around Egypt"
 LONDON, July This mornings papers generally, and the Times especially, approve Lord Salisbury's statement in the House of Lords yesterday to the effect that the gov ernment will continue the policy adopted by Mir. Gladstone in the matter of settling the Afghan boundary question and the negotia- tions with Russia to that end. The Times commends the Egyptian policy as sound and sagacious.
 The first sign of radical enmity to the poli- cy of the government was given in the House of Commons this evening by Sir Wilfrsd Lawson, who gave notice that he would to- morrow move to refuse to grant to the gov ernment the entire command of the time of the HOuSe

A Haunted Locomotive.


 q believe locomotive can be haunted,' said veteran B. and o. engineer. 'I ran one on the Pennsylvania railroad for about year that was haunted. My engine was a good one, but had some very curious actions at times The man who ran the engine before took her was killed in a little collision be- yond Cresson. He lived in a little house just west of Altoona. In my run coming
 east always passed this house little after nine o'clock at night. Just before reaching it for several nights I noticed that my engine commenced to slow up more than intended. I began to think that I was growing nervous, and my hand was no longer true in guiding the throttle. But as it never occurred any where else, the effect made on my mind by the circumstance became very unpleasant. After while I realized that there was some power helping me at the throttle when l reached this place. I mentioned it to my fireman, and made him try it. He was con- vinced that my impression was right. 'tOne night the whistle gave two or three screams. I thought the fireman pulled the cord, but he denied it. This occurred two or three times afterward, and l couldn't see any hand pulling the rope. Well, you may be sure didn't like this sort of thing. At last creepy feeling began to crawl all over
 me when approaching the dead engineers house. One dark night in June, 1881, made up my mind to balk the ghost. l called the fireman in the cab and both of us grasped the throttle, slowed up to the prop CT speed, and held on to it firmly. We felt somsthing tugging at it, but we were too strong for it. Suddenly the throttle was wrenched from our hands and pulled out to the utmost limit. Away bounded the train down the grade into Altoona, the whistle shrieking like a demon. Before we could get away from the ghost the train had attain ed great speed and we ran half way through the city before we could slow up. A switch man saw us coming and switched us on side track beyond the Logan House, where we wrecked two three cattle cars and damaged the engine. The incident caused great commotion among the people living along the tracks. and the company censured me for it. As I couldn't be responsible for 8 ghosts antics, I threw up 5he job and came back to the B. and O."
 FWas the ghost that of the dead engin- eer?"
 ''I think so. He always slowed his engine while nearing his house, and waved his hand at his wife and children, who stood in the door and bowed and smiled at him. The night he raised all that runnpus he must have gotten mad because didn't let him have his

How Baltimore Men Dress.

From the BalCluOre Sun
 A tailor took Sun reporter to the back part of his shop on Saturday, and, pulling dark green coat out of the drawer, said:
 ''Here is novelty you want. It's jersey, light as feather, and fits like glove; try it on."
 'fI wouldn't have the thing for gift. I'd have everybody staring at me on the street."
 The tailor threw the coat back in disgust. fFWell, D he said at last, "I've seen many a city, but Baltimore beats all. None of your new fashioned things for me- seems to be the watehword in everything, even in mans clothes. If a coat or collar or a hat isn't strictly conventional, you Baltimoreans won't wear it. Here's this coat, as easy and comfortable a garment can be imagined: but it's just like everything else; everybody isn't wearing it, and nobody will
 make the start. Men here won't wear seer suckers to any extent. They say they're loud.
 They won't wear linen clothes-well, be-
 cause somebody might turn around and look
 at them.'
 ''In the hottest weather they'll wear four buttoned cutaways and vests, all buttoned up and snugly fitting so as to look nice. Why, in New York and Philadelphia you see men come along looking cool and cheer ful, with coats of the lightest, thinnest ma terial just hanging around them. Of course the coats d. not fit perfectly, and no one ex- poets them to. I'm speaking now of solid business men-men of taste and refinement in dress as in everything else. But when they at their work they are unconven- tional, and that is what Baltimore man is always afraid of being, it seems to me. ''Let Baltimorean put on Norfolk, ,belted coat-as breezy and nice-ftting coat as you can want-and if he walks along Baltimore street every-almost every-man, woman and child will turn around and look at him | with half-pitying, ha!f-contemptuous look, | and some will say dude and some some thing worse.
 ''You always want your clothes to sit just ! so; you're like old maids, so prim and par ticular If you wear anything that will I make people look lirt.e you feel bad, and | rarely wear it again. What can be nicer ! than loose, easy, jaunty coat of white linen? ! You look cool and feel cool. But I'll wager ! you won't see dozen men in this lively, en- 1 terprising, go-ahead town wear white linen ! coats this summer. No, you would far rather I pull through the hot weather, putting and | grunting and perspiring, when, if you would | only lay aside your vanity, you would feel as | cool and cheerful as a turtle.
 "There's one reason," he added, after g ! moment. ''The average Baltimorean does | not buy more than one summer suit year I That suit must last, and so he prefers to have i it strong and thick enough to hold out, and | also to fit well enough for wear outside of I business hours. So that between convention 1 al scruples and economy. Baltimore men, ! believe wear the hottest summer clothes in | the country" "

THE MYSTERY AT PITTSFIELD Drawing Detectives In SWarms to the
 Shot.

P1TTsF1ELD, Mass, July 6.-Professionai detectives from New York, Boston and other cities are focking here attracted by the s1 ,OOO reward for the apprehension of George Dunbar's murderer. The doctors say that the suffusion of blood in the eye could not have occurred after the wound in the brain was re- ceived, and that the wound must have been made with brass knuckles. Investigation tonight shows that Dunbar had about $50 at the time of the murder. The impression grows more general here that the crime was committed by a resident of the town and one acquainted with Dunbar's habits in the collection of money, etc. The police are reticent and keep all clues to themselves. The inquest began at o'clock this afternoon. Dunbar's funeral is an nounced for Wednesday afternoon.
