Prince Alexander Announces His In
tention to Quit the Throne.
His Action Causes Excitement and
Uneasiness in Europe.

LONDON, Sept, 5 - Though the news, this
morning, of Prince Alexander's intention to
abdicate, in consequence of the attitude of
the Czar, is no surprise, it has still created
considerable sensation here and in other Eu-
ropean capitals. The position of affairs in the
Balkans is strangely melodramatic. The
Prince seems determined to abandon his
throne, though his subjects emphatlcally pro-
test against such a course, and declare their
willingness to stand by him at all costs. Al
exander's action is ineXplicable, as he must
have known the Cars views throughout the
present week. His submission to Russia can
hardly be attributed to fear of Russian hos
tillty, seeing his policy in the past has been
chiefly directed to opposing Russian intrigue
if he feels it impossible to maintain his posi-
tion, why did he ever retnrnto Bulgaria, as
he did, amid the enthusiasm and rejoicing OF
his people? Alexander's resolve to abdicate
is definitely announced under. touching clr-
cumstances. ''As am" he said "an obstacle
to Rnlgaria's 5 freedom and welfare, l am pre-
pared to make the necessary sacrifices" His
officers assure him that he was the sole guar
antee of Bulgaria's independence and we'll
fare Ii he went, there was an end Of Bulga-
ria'S happiness. A circumstance wchih make
Alexander's action doubly mysterious is that
if he remains in Bulgaria, Russia was pledg-
ed not to forcibly interfere in the affairs of
principality. Neither Germany nor Austria
opposes the abdication. If it really takes
place Russia would, of course, Immediately
send an agentto assume the charge of Bulga-
rian affairs till new Prince is appointed.
Turkeys Military Movements.
LONDON, Sept. Cit is rumored that, in
accordance with advice given by two friend
ly powers, Turkey is making military pre-
parations ON the Asiatic frontier. 1t is also
said that orders have been given to supply
the army in Erzeroum and along the borders
with additional guns, stores and munitions.
This activity is due to the movements on
the part of Russia which country is sup
posed to be making efforts to gauge the
military and naval strength of Turkey. A
suspicious foreign artist has been making
sketches of forts outside of Constantinople
and it is thought that he was an agent of
Russia.
1t is learned that large contracts have
been made, for coal Odessa and that con-
tract has been made to supply $50, 700 tons
of metal plates, of twelve inch thickness,
and with steel facing, for Russian arsenals

The Situation in ireland

In considering the present condition
OF the rent agitation in Ireland, with
regard to either the plan of campaign
of the National League or the repTcs-
sive measures contemplated by the gov
ernment, it may be we'll not to overlook
the conditions of the contest. Ireland
contains 20'159.G7S acres of land OF
this one man owns 10, ll9 acres. One
third of the island belongs to only 292
persons and One-half to only 744. These
are the landlords against whom the
plan o. campaign is directed. The re.
fusal of a whole people to pay Tack-Tent
to such an insignificant number of land
lords calls for the display of all The

ish Empire. But it is not possible that

PARNELL on DUTY.
The Home Rule Leader Not Prepared
to Speak on the Plan OF
Campaign.

LONDON, December 19.-Mr Parnell.
who has just arrived in London. said
that he was slowly but firmly recover
ing from his recent gastric attack. His
doctor will permit him to resume his
parliamentary dnties on the opening of
the session if he promises to be careful.
Mr.. Parnell does not intend at present
to express an opinion on the "plan of
campaign" ." wishing first to go to Ire
land to consult with the promoters of
the plan, whom he has not seen since
the last session Of Parliament. He also
desires TO obtain fuller knowledge in
regard to various matters before he
speaks on the subject.
He declares that he was not aware
that the ''plan of campaign" had been
devised or even proposed until it had
been published. Mr.. PaTnell Will go
to Ireland shortly.
A meeting Is to be held at Kilrush to
protest against Vandoleur's eviction
processes. The call for the meeting is
printed OF handbiIls and concludes as
follows:

approval Of leading men of both parties.
will be offered in the House at the re-
assembling of Congress on the 4th of
January. The proposed'bill will repeal
the tax'On Tobacco and reduce the tax
on whiskey and sugar, thereby decreas-
ing the annual surplus from fifty to
seventy millions of dollars. This would
be a good beginning to reduce the sur
plus which the government collects from
the people and for which it has no pos
sible use. It simply remains locked up
in the vaults of the Treasury when it
ought to be in active circulation among
the people. It is not at all probable that
any successful effort will be made dur
ing the present session to revise the
tariff, properly so called. And yet the
Democratic national convention Of 1884
pledged itself "to revise the tariff in
spirit of fairness 20 all interests and
the Republican conventional the same
year pledged itself "to correct the inc
qualities of the tariff and reduce the
surplus" " These pledges made to the
country must be redeemed.

Rattlesnake Hunting.

In some of the interior couuties of
Pennsylvania a few survivors of that
once numerous class called snake hunt
eTs still ply their vocation, but each year
finds them growing less. The snake
they hunt Is the TattleSnake, the oil of
which is valuable for its medicinal prop
critics. When a snake hunter starts on
trip he arms himself with a stout
prong, cut from the maple or oak The
haunts of the Tattler are then sought.
If the hunters aim is not good and he
does not piniOn the head OF the snake
with the first thrust of his prong that
snake is valueless, because iC invariably
fastens its faLgs deep into its own ten
der flesh and becomes the victim of the
venom intended for its own protection.
a score OF times, as boy, I have watch
ed the hunter making bis thrust, and |
have yet to see a more lightning like
action than that with which the rdttIeT
strikes himself when bruised by the
weapon of an enemy he fears. Fhe
snake, once successfully captured, its
head is cut off, or its fangs extracted,
aud then another is sought. The hunt
er, IN time, rarely misses his aim, and
it is an unusual thing for one to get
bitten. When be does, however, the
wounded limb is bound above the wound
so tight that the blood cannot circulate,
and the hunter cOOlly fill5 himself with
whiskey and goes home. Some deaths
occur from these but not many. If TAX
Ell at once the whiskey )es it's counter
work we'll and the hunter never starts
out on a tour without a big flask filled
to the neck.

THE jury in the second trial Of ex-
Alderman McQuade, of New York,
who was indicted for accepting a bribe
in 1884 in consideration of his vote in
the board of Alderman in favor Of
granting the right 70 certain persons to
lay down street railway tracks in some
of the streets of New York. brought in
a verdict Of guilty on Wednesday of last
week. The recorder, before whom he
was tried, sentenced him on Monday to
be imprisoned at hard labor in Sing Sing
prison for the term of seven years and
to pay fine OF five thousand dollars.
Alderman Jaehne' who was convicted
of the same Offense several weeks ago
was sentenced to nine years and ten
months Imprisonment. Both cOnvic-
tions were procured by two other Al
dermen Of the same Board, Duffy and
Fullgraff, turning States evidence and
telling all about the corrupt and infa-
nous transaction. Three other mem
bers of the board yet remain to be tried
three others are IN exile in Canada.
one IS insane, one is in Europe and two
lave died. No such wholesale corrup-
tiOn as that of these thirteen Aldermen
has occurred in New York since the
days of William NJ Tweed. Who de-
bauched with his money not only the
members Of the city government but
even its very judges, and controlled the
State Legislature in the same way when
be wished TO promote his own interests.
1t is gratifying to know that each one
of thOss corrupt Alderman upon whom
the law can be brought to lay it's heavy
hand, will meet with swift punishment
for corruptly betraying the people whose
interests were committed to his care.
The conviction of McQuade will exer-
else wholesome influence on other city
officials throughout the country.

By a vote of 80 ayes to % nays the
Senate on Friday last passed the bill for
the repeal Of the Tenure-Of Office Act.
The repeal Of this act has long been a
bone Of contention in the Senate, the
Democrats uniformly advocating Its re-
peal and the Republican majority firmly
resisting it,. The bill was originally
passed in 1867 to tie up the hands Of
President Andrew Johnson in making
removals from office. When Grant came
into office in March 1869 he induced his
friends in the Senate TO so modify it as
TO enable him TO remove Objectionable
incumbents Of office without any serious
restraint. The act, however, still con-
tanned many Objectionable provisions
aud materially hindered the President
in the exercise of his constitutional
power Of removal. The Senate has at
length yielded the point and left the
Presidents hands free and unshackled
by wiping the act from the statute books.
The House will concur and the long
vexed question will thus 6e settled.
The repeating bill was introduced into
the Senate by Mr.. Hoar, one Of The Re
publican Senators from Massachusetts,.

Ok Friday last the Senate Of the
United States took up and passed with
out debate the bill for the retirement
and recoinage of the trade dollar. The
Sill is substantially the same as She
measure that has already been offered
in the HOuse'on the same subject. and
like it provides thai until July l, 1887,
trade dollars which are not mutilated,
defsced OF stamped may be exchanged
dollar for dollar, at the United States
Sub-Treasuries for standard silver dol
lars the treasurer must not again pay
them out, but must transmit them to
the coinage mints, where they shall be
treated and regarded at their bullion
value, and at such bullion value must
be deducted from the amount Of bullion
required to be purchased and coined
under the act Of February 26, 1878, and
recOined into standard silver dollars.
The two Houses being thus in accord
on the subject there can be no doubt
about the bill becoming a law.

THE finances OF no State in the I'm
ion are in a more healthy and satisfac-
tory condition than those of our own
State, Il is true that a few Of the
States have no debt at all, but they are
very small ones with neither the wealth
OF importance ofour own. The Commits
siOners of the Sinking Fund state in
their report that during the year S713,-
700 of the State debt has been cancelled.
Although this was not as much Of re-
duetiOn as was made during the previ-
Ous year, when over a million of
our state debt was wiped out, it
shows that The heavy debt that has
so long hampered our prosperity is being
steadily reduced. If the Legislature
viii set its face against all unnecessary
appropriations and exercise proper econ
Omy and reform in our expenditures,
the present debt of the State will en-
tirely disappear before an almanac for
The year 1900 makes its appearance.

FATHER FAHEY, the Catholic priest
who in the early part of September last
was sentenced to six months imprisOn-
ment in the Galway, Ireland, jail for
refusing to give bail for his good be
haviOr, was released from prison uncon-
ditionally on Monday last. It will be
remembered that Father Fahey inter-
caded with the agent of the CIanrikarde
estates by the name of Lewis, in behalf
OF number of tenants belonging to the
priests parish who were unable to pay
their rents. Lewis threatened the ten
ants with eviction and Father Fahey
went to save them from being turned
out upon the highway. Lewis treated
Lewis You are hard hearted towards
Gods poor. Nay you repent of it,. -
Lewis at once had the priest arrested
and charged him with threatening bis
life-even going so far as to declare
that Father Fahey said he would have
him murdered. The magistrate ordered
Father Fahey TO give bail for his good
behavior OF 90 to jail. He refused to
furnish bail for the reason that it would
be regarded as an admission that the
charge against him was true, and he
was accordingly imprisoned. There
was great rejoicing by his friends over
/ his release and on Monday night the
city of Galway was illuminated in his
/ honor.
