LONDON. May 3--The cabinet council or

patch received from Sir Edward Thornton
British minister to Russia, stated that NJ
Degiers, Russian minister of foreign affairs,
had asked for time in which to discuss and
interpret the agreement of March II before

suit of the cabinet discussion, Earl Gran
vile intimated his willingness to defer the
laying of the dispute before third power
for settlement, provided M. Degiers admit.
ted the principle of arbitration.
A further communication from Sir Ed.
ward Thornton was received at the foreign
Office tonight 1t is reported that the Eng.
lish minister states in this dispatch that
Russia accepts the principle of arbitration.
The czarina, whose influence is nearly alb
solnte over the czar, is actively assisting in
peace negotiations.
Sunday editions of the London newsra-
pers confirm the report that a secret treaty
has been made between England and Turk
ey, according to the terms of which Eng
land will be allowed to send men-of- war
through the Dardanslles in case of war.
FROM THE GOVERNMENT ORGAN.
LONDON, May 4. The News, government
organ, in a leading editorial, says: s'The
prospects for peace have been much cleared
aud more amply confirmed within the last
forty eight hours. A Russian dispatch,
cenciliatory in tone and substance, was
sent to the government by telegraph, after
the czar had conferred with his ministers,
and courier with the official written reply
to Earl Granville is now on the way to Lon
don," The News warns its readers, how
ever, against hasty conclusion that peace
is assured.
THE TIMES" FOR WAR.
The Times urges that the advance upon
Herat by the Russians should constitute a
distinct casus beLl, without furthee debate
or discussion.
FROM MOSCOW

reason to believe that an honest expe.iient
has been found, by which both si,les can
settle the Russo English dispute.
DIsGUsTED WITH GLADSTONE.
LONDON, May st is r.mored on the
London stock exchange that Earl Dufferin
has resigned the Office of vicerny of Iddia.
The Globe of to-day says the so-called ad
justment of the Anglo Russian dispute Is a
poor shift, which amounts practically tc
nothing more than a truce for advertising
collision. which will result in nothing but Q
transfer of the difficulty from Gladstone's
shoulders to those of his successor.
NOTES FROM LONDON.
LONDON, May 6.-Gladstone at the re
quest OF the conservatives, has consented te
take the next stage of the vote of credit
Monday, instead of Thursday. The conser

light may be thrown on the Afghan aues-
tion.
The latest official intelligence is that tw,
British gunboats will be stationed at Por

of the walls had fallen. They could hear
the screams of people injured, and it seemed

girls, were at work at various branches of
business carried on in the building, which
covers considerable ground, having wings
and which extended through from Atlantic
to State street. The excitement in the
aeighborhood became very great and in
short time the wives of men who were
known to be working in the building, and
parents of girls who were employed, block

there were about 500 men and women en-

twenty years ago, the woodwork

BOWLING THE HEAD.
A Protest Against an Old Custom in the
MaSsac etts Schools.

Boston. March Ii. What may be regarded as
a test case, one in which the towns Of the State
are interested, is now on trial at birmingham
and the result bids fair to rees.ablish or per-
haps forever abolish the old New England Gus
tom Of requiring the children of the public
schools to bow the head in devotional services,
or that portion of them in which the Lord 8
prayer is repeated in concert by the school, The
State statute authorizes portion of the Scrip
lures to be read in the public schools without
comment, and provides that any scholar whose
conscience forbids him taking part may be ex-
cused, if a written request from the parents or
guardian is given to the teacher. In the solu-
ton Of the matter in question both the Prot
estants and Roman Catholics of birmingham
are deeply interested. There is. in the town
rapidly growing Catholic population, and al
ready about one third OF the attendants in the
public schools in town are of that faith. Some
months ago few Catholic children in one school
were unwilling TO bow their heads in prayer
time, and the case was reported to Rev j. S.
Cullen, pastor of both theSt Bridget's parish az
birmingham Center, and the St Stephens, at
South birmingham. The matter was adjusted
without publicity, but new cases have since
arisen which have brought to the surface facts
which enter into general discussion of the
whole matter

CLEVELAND'S SILVER VIEWS.
How they Are Regarded by Garfield's Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
William Window the Secretary Of the Treas
ury in Garfelds Cabinet, was at the Palmer
yesterday, on his way to Washington and New
York. He was asked by reporter his opinion
of Cleveland's letter advocating suspension of
silver coinage.
cit seemed to me to be little premature he
replied although believe the present coinage
of So, 900, 900 per month should be suspended,
and thus far agree with him"

mot unless something occurs to cause an ad-
vance in gold, in which case it would be boarded,
and command a premium over silver While
nothing injurious may result from the failure of
Congress to suspend the coinage of silver the
present condition is not safe, and ought, think,
to be changed. l believe this country requires
the double standard but with the silver dollar
containing enough silver to make it worth gold
dollar. Then it would be iinnaterial how much
was coined and there. might be free coinage.
The Inconvenience Of silver could be overcome
by issuing certificates
While Mr. Window was disinclined to augur
evil from the steady flow of silver into circula-
ton, it was also apparent that he looked upon
the situation with a good deal of uneasiness,
and believed. beyond doubt, that it would force
the coming Congress to act at the earliest mo-

A WHOLESOME BUSINESS TALK.
What the Enterprising Mccormick Has
DOne-FlOurishing Like Green
Bay Tree.

Considering the time of the year, the reporter
was amazed to see so much business activity as
was shown yesterday at the headquarters of the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company. The
inquisitive reporter asked Mr. j. B. Haywood
a few questions and cleaned the information that
the Mccormick had taken a long lease on the
property, and he has just added greatly to the
business facilities of this agency by the cree
ton OF warehouse in the rear of the store
rooms-a substantial brick, which will give an
increased storage capacity of 5Ox96 feet. This,
with the two Store-rooms, 36xl70 with basement
under the entire establishment, will place the
Mccormick in magnificent shape for the manage
ment OF the Indiana business for the coming
season.
The increase in this business in. Indiana has
been wonderful since 1879, when the present
manager, Mr.. j. b. Haywood took charge, and
at no time during his administration have the
facilities been equal to the constantly increasing
demands OF the business. Something of an idea
of the increase may be gained from the fact that
when Mr.. Haywood came here the sales
amounted to between $50 and 400 Mccormick
machines annually in the State, whereas in 1888
they exceeded 2, 500, and in 1884 fell but few
machines short of 5000.
Mr.. Haywood. modestly attributes this increase
to the superior merits of the Mccormick ma
onheS anu MS aole corps OF ASSISTANTS, Ine equal
OF whom he said he did not think are to be found
IN the employ of any other manufacturer of
harvesting machines in the country. The Offices
at Nos. 167 and 100 are pleasant, commodious
and admirably arranged. Here are book keepers,
rapid stenographer, type-writers, shipping and
repair clerks, and the business being expedited
by an able corps of warehousemen.
rive men are regularly employed in making
contracts and settlements with dealers, of which
there are 100 representing the Mccormick ma
chimes in Indiana.
GU may say" said Mr.. Haywood as the re-
porter was departing, that the Mccormick in
tends this year to greatly increase the distance
between the grand old harvester and its leading
competitors, and will probably shut some of the
machines out of the race altogether

Louisville Gambling-Houses Closed.

LOUISVILLE, March 13-A sensation was ere
ated here this afternoon by the announcement
that all the gambling houses had been closed
Chief of Police Whallen notified all proprietors
to close up or be raided, and all quietly shut ur
shop and closed their games. Many expressed
themselves as glad to quit the business. Louis
vile has been paradise of gamblers for years,
and the amount of gambling INDUCED in was
prodigious. A. vigorous war on gaming has
been made recently, and the closing of the
games is one Of the results. 1t is not known
just what the result will be. but it is thought
the large houses, backed by plenty of capital,
will resume business, while only the smaller es
Establishments will be closed permanently.
