TROUBLE 4HEAD.

The Greek Cabinet Frame an Unsatisfac-
tory Reply to the Powers.
A dispatch from Athens of the 9th
says: The Greek cabinet met this aft
ernoon and discussed the collective
note of the Powers demanding more
precise assurances that Greece will dis
arm. 1t framed a reply which Premier
Delyannis this evening gave the repre-
sentatives of the Powers. They con-
slider it inadequate. The foreign
ministers will leave Athens to-mor-
row. The British corvette Carisfort
is in readiness to take on board
Sir Horace Rumbold, the English
minister, and proceed to Malta.
A Turkish gunboat has arrived at the
Pir@us to convey from Athens Tewik
Bey, the representative of the porte.
Great excitement prevails here. The
soldiers of thegarrison have been sum.
mOned to the barracks and it Is re-
ported that they will proceed to the
front tomorrow. Several members of
the chamber of deputies who are Off
GERS in the army have been ordered to
the front. The general commanding
the Greek troops on the frontier tele-
graphs that the Turks are massing and
that he has ordered similar move
ment of his troops.

The Hereditary Principle.
from the Pail Mall Gazette.l

From the Pail Mall Gazette]
While we are discussing what to do
with our hereditary legislators we
might do worse than examine the sys-
tenn which prevails in China with regard
to thenobility. 1t appears tnat in that
country the members of a noble fami-
ly of one generation are g. degree lower
in rank than those of the succeeding
one. Thus Ito use our own forms, as
being more familiar) the son of g.
duke would be g. marquis, the latter's
son an earl, and so on, until finally
the family merged in the community.
If a member of one generation distip-
cuisines himself by eminent public SER
vices, he can of course be elevated to
the rank of his father, or grandfath-
er, and the family will commence anew
to descend the scale; so that family
may remain noble one as it's mem
bers continue to deserve the distinc-
ton, otherwise it disappears in the
course of g. few generations into the
masses, until (if every one of it's mem
bers again elevates it. Two excep-
tions to the rule are the family of
Confucius, who are hereditary dukes,
and that of Coxinga, a famous seaman
of the seventeenth century, half-con-
queror, half-pirate. Our ancestors,
with all their wisdom, were not, per-
haps, as wise as those of the Chinese
at any rate, in dealing with the hered-
tary principles.

AN INDIAN RIOT.
The Redskins at Rosebud Agency Revolt
and Overawe the Police.

VALENTINE, Neb., May 8.-Settlers at
the Rosebud Agency are uneasy be-
cause of the difficulty that occurred
three days ago, in which it was demon
strated to them that the Indians are
in power and can do as they wish.
Maj. Wright, the agent, discovered 81
party of Indians living on land he had
declared to be unfit for cultivation.
He ordered them to move on tillable
land or forfeit their farming nipple
ments. The Indians positively re-
fused, and appeared at the agency in
force and demanded their implements,
saying they would take them by force.
Guns and knives were drawn, and the
police appeared, but were defed by
the Indians, and found themselves en-
tirely powerless. The agent was
seized, but some of the old
er Indians interfered, and the
agent gave up the implements.
The agent was then forced to give the
Indians feast of barrel of sugar
and other provisions in proportion.
OF the $4,000 Sioux Indians who are
located on the reservation north Of
the Nebraska line, at least one-half
are stationed at Rosebud agency. Up
to the death of Spotted Tail, who was
killed by Crow Dog, that old chieftain
was the controlling power for good
among the Sioux Indians. His as
sassination, five years ago: widened
the breach between the two factions,
the one being for peace and the other
for trouble. Since that time the con-
dition of affairs at Rosebud has not
been as favorable to peace and quiet.
The northern frontier of Nebraska is
protected by two military posts, Fort
Niobrara and Fort Robinson, the
former being the nearer to Rosebud,
from which it is distant sixty miles,

CHURCH DISCIPLINE.
Speculation to the Standing of the
knights of Labor.


knights of Labor.
MONTREAL, May 4.-Francis A. Quin,
a member OF the bar here, and legal
adviser of the local Knights of Labor,
has been instructed by the executive
committee of that body to wait upon
Mgr. Fabre, bishop of the diocese, and
inform him that any amendments he
may consider necessary in their con-
stitution will be made. The bishop
has fixed an early date for the con-
ference, but it is known in clerical cir
cles that he has not the power to
make any changes now that Cardinal
Taschereau has pronounced on the
subject. The grand vicar marshal of
the bishops palace here is authority for
the statement that at the cOnsistOry in
June next, to be held in Rome, the
Pope will issue g. bill absolutely con-
knights OF Labor. The grand vicar is
one OF the best-informed men in the
province on what is going on in Rome,
and as he is an intimate friend of the
cardinals, great weight is given to his
utterances. The effect of the cardinals
mandement, together with the utter
ances of Archbishop Lynch, of Toron-
to, is being already felt here, and
many leading movers among the
French lodges have signifed their in
tention of leaving the order. The
French Canadian priests and bishops
are opposed to the order, but the
Irish priests, while they do not uphold
it openly, are evidently well-disposed
towards it.

PROHIBITION OH BLOOD.
An Over-Zea1ous Constable Fights Ovel
Keg of Beer.

An Over-Zea1ous Constable Fights Over
Keg of Beer.
Dies MONIES, Ia, May 8.-The first
bloodshed over the attempted enforce
nent of the new prohibitory law oc-
Cured in Des Moines, yesterday. A
constable named Pierce repaired to
South Des Moines with a warrant to
search the premises of Nym Wyatt,
who runs q billiard hall. His efforts
were rewarded by the discovery OF g.
small keg of beer in the cellar, which
he seized and carried to the floor
above. Here Mrs. Wyatt took hold
of the keg and attempted to recover
possession of it, when Pierce drew q
heavy revolver on her. Harry Lloyd,
employed upon the premises, struck
down his arm. The two men thereup-
on became engaged In a strug-
gle which did not end until they
had tumbled out OF doors and
rolled down an embankment,
the officer alighting uppermost, when
he put his pistol against Lloyd's body
and fired, following this up with ter
rife blow on the head with the re-
volver. The ball struck q rib and
glanced, following it around nearly to
the spine, where it lodged and was ex-
tracted. The wound is probably fatal.
After the shooting, Pierce hastily re-
treated to Des Moines, where he was
arrested and placed in jail. Great ex-
element followed, and a large crowd
surrounded the courthouse and freely
talked of lynching. Forty armed men
guarded the jail all night, and the
militia were kept under arms. 1t is
thought that Pierce is slightly de-
mented. He has made many enemies
by his methods of searching private
houses and other places for liquor.

Sold Into Marriage.
From the Pail Mall Gazette. !


A remarkable custom exists among
the Roumanians living in the westerly
Carpathians. Every year, at the
feast of the apostles Peter and Paul,
q market is held on the crest of the
Gaina, from 5000 to 5000 feet above
the level OF the sea, and here all the
manageable girls of the entire dis
trict assemble with their parents in
order to be viewed and claimed.
Mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and
various other female friends contrib
ute to the dowry, and this completed,
it is carried to the market on the
Gaina In neatly made trunks, decorat-
ed with flowers, and carried by the
family's best horses. Cattle, bees, and
other household requisites are also
added to the dowry.
On the Gaina every family which has
a manageable daughter occupies 9:
distinct tent, in which the dowry is ex-
hibited, and in which the bride-viewers
are expected. The bachelors, too, are
accompanied by parents Or relatives,
in whose company they inspect the
girls who are eligible. The young men
bring the best they possess, and each
must particularly come with a girdle
Of gold Or silver.
After the brides are chosen the pub
lie betrothal takes place, being con.
Quoted by q hermit who lives in this
lonely spot. The mark of betrothal
is not a ring, but beautifully en-
broidered handkerchief. The betroth-
al is in many cases prearranged; but
the ceremony must be gone through
all the same. If a girl goes to the
market knowing beforehand that an
admirer will be there to claim her, so
much the better for her. Still she
must take her dowry and occupy her
tent and place herself on view like the
poSt
