An Anglo-Turkish alliance has not beer
completed. This is attributed to Granville'f
withdrawal Of terms on the prospect Of peace
with Russia. The negotiations have led to q
closer entente with the Porte on the Gladstone
policy.
"A small riot took place in London on Sat-
urday, the result Of a police raid upon 8 So
cialist club in search Of gamblers.
"A report Of the Berlin Statistical Bureau
for Germans abroad estimates the number Of
persons born in Germany now resident in
America at /, 966, 742.
Earl Granville is said to have signed an
agreement on the scope Of the proposed arbi-
tration, which leaves matters between England
and Russia open for settlement without refer
ence to an arbitrator.
"A large force Of British and Indian troops
and friendly natives under Gen. Graham
marched out at midnight to Tackhol, where
they surprised and defeated 400 rebels, killing
60 Of them and capturing II prisoners and 150
head Of cattle After burning the village they
retired to Suadim, fighting continuing until
they had passed Hasheen. The British loss
was five wounded, including one officer and a
correspondent of colonial newspaper.
--Osman Digma, it is believed, has sue
ceeded in again collecting an army but it is
thought that the present scarcity Of food in
the desert prevents the army from cOncen-
trating or becoming formidable enough to
make it necessary to send out British expe-
dition against Ell Mahdi's chieftain. The
friendly Arabs at Tokar ask English protec-
tion against Osman Digma.
The London Standard says that a new
bill dealing with local government in Ireland
has been drafted, containing the following
points: The establishment of councils elected
by popular vote In the place Of Grand Juries;
the creation Of q central council at Dublin, re-
placing the present Boards Of works, educa-
tion, ETC., and perhaps the abolition Of Earl
Spencer's Office, the duties now performed by
the Lord Lieutenant being transferred to the
Secretary of State for Ireland.

Flames from VesuVius.
ToRRE DEL GRECO FRIGHTENED BY A NEW
FIssURE IN THE MOUNTAIN.

At seven o'clock Saturday evening a
new opening came in the side of Mount
VesuVius, near Terre del Greco, twelve
kilometres from Naples. The lava
abundantly flowed from the new mouth,
while the grand crater only belched a
reddish smoke. Scientific observers
said in the morning that there was no
great danger, but there was a panic in
Terre del Greco, the site of which has
been several times covered--frst, in
1881, when many thousands perished;
again in June, 1894, destroying the
Cathedral, the churches and houses, and
last in 1861. The inhabitants who wit
messed this last eruption say that the
present appearances are like the begin
ming of that one. No sand or ashes
have yet been seen as at the memorable
eruption of 1877, when showers of these
reached Rome. Signor Louis Palmieri,
the celebrated meteOrologist, who since
1854 has had the direction of the Vesu-
Wan Observatory and has written books
on the eruptiOns, said to a newspaper
correspondent:-"Th absence Of any
trace of tremblings indicates no
immediate grand eruption, ard think
this light growth of eruptive period
beginning in December, 1875" Never
theless the alarm continues at the town
of Terre del Greco and the village of
Oamaldoli, to the southwark of it. Lava
is still flowing in great streams.

Misdirected Tenderness.

Some of the contradictions of human
nature in the same individual are abso-
lutely marvellous. Boyne, the German
teacher, who recently threw vitriol upon
the waiter girls in a Detroit hotel, is
said to have been very kind to a vicious
mustang which he owned, feeding him
with sugar, and on finding after selling
him that the work was hard, he bought
him back at considerable loss. So, too,
the murderer of Nine. Ballerich, in
Paris, not long since, was a desperate
burglar and assassin but who lived un-
suspected the life of country gentle
man, highly respected by his neighbors
and friends. He was very fond of dumb
animals, and on being arrested for his
cruel murder he turned to the police
with tears in his eyes and said: "Don't
forget to feed my fowls p If some of
this lavish tenderness of murderers and
vitriol-throwers would only spill over on
their fellow beings they would be better
appreciated.-DetroH Free Press.

Capt. Phelan, Of Kansas City, has had his tria

the jury very briefly. If the jury found that

some doubt as to the manner of appointment,
There is no occasion for haste, however, as the

Worse Than Firearms.

The editor of an Omaha paper, in
commenting on several cases in that city
where children died from the effects of
taking cough syrup containing morphia,
remarks that opiates, poisons and mar
cotics are more dangerous than firearms.
Mothers should note this and further
more that different Boards of Health,
after making careful analyses, have GER
titled that the only purely vegetable
preparation of this kind, and one that is
in every way harmless, prompt and
effective, is Red Star Cough Cure.
Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore, and the
Commissioner of Health have publicly
indorsed this valuable discovery.
