The Present Outlook Is It Appears In tho Eyes Of
Shrewd Observer.
The New York Herald reports a
long interview wit h Peter B. Sweeny,
who has just returned froma trip to
Europe, where he resided for many
years. The shadow of his past life
hangs over him, yet he is one of the
best informed men of his time on in
ternational topics, has given special
study to European politics and con.
tinental complications, and a talk
with him is productive of much valu-
able and interesting information. He
said to the Herald re porter:
1.-THE next war in Europe, come
when it may, and it may begin any
hour, will be of a destructive violence
unknown up to this day. Every source
of revenue has been strained, if not
drained, for the martial effect. It
would be idle to say that the world
has not yet seen the like, because new
er before has it had such destructive
warlike means. Europe is a great
military camp. The chief powers are
armed to the teeth. It is the combi-
nation of general effort. 1t is not for
parade or amusement. Enormous
armies in the highest condition of
discipline and armed to perfection,
leaning on their muskets or bride in
hand, are waiting in camp and field
for the signal to march against each
other. A war in Europe settles only
one thing definitely, and that is the
necessity for another war. The ap-
preaching war may do more-it may
settle those who are chiefly engaged in
it. The ambition of kings and emper-
ors may thus lead in the end to their
own overthrow and open the way for
popular progress.
1.-THE nineteen powers of Europe are
divided, automatically, into four
classes. In the first class, of course,
are the great powers, six in number
Russia, Germany, Austria Hungary,
England, France and Italy. Among
the second class are Spain and Turkey.
Belgium and Holland rank with the
third class, and in the fourth are such
countries as Greece, Switzerland and
Denmark. The great powers are the
masters, who alone have anything to
say in deciding international ques-
tions. The little ones don't count,
Belgium and Holland and the Balkan
provinces, for examples, are allowed
to exist on the map so far as the great
monarchs are concerned;C only until
they are wanted, to be thrown into

Gated to her.
Holding in her hand the letter which
morning sought t he library, and her
heart beat little strongly as she re-
f1ected that she was about to press

be compelled to declare his passion at

to tell me what is the cause of this
agitation; you alarm me-why are you

Ellen, tapping it, accompanying the
action with a mysterious look.

"And can you guess it's contents? No,

tone so mournful as to make her re-

"because there is something debasing

Improbable as it is, tell me what all
this signifies-suspensei is agony-what

Read it, and judge for yourself"
and as Ellen spoke she gave him the
dreaded letter. Hastily glancing over
it, his countenance grew white as a
sheet, and he felt himself about to
faint from the deadly sickness that
attacked him. He made desperate

nal fight he had so long held had
Frustrated his strength more than he

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The annual meeting
of the International Monetary Standard as
ISOLATION was held to-day. Mr.. Henry II.
Gibbs, ex-governor of the Bank of England,
presided, and in an address admitted that
the progress of bimetalism was slow in
England, but said it was advancing in Ger
many. He said he believed that the royal
commission in the depressed condition of
tlade in Great Britain would report that
the present condition of the silver question
had an important bearing on the depression.
Mr.. Henry Il. Greenfell. governor of the
Bank of England, expressed confidence that
the United States congress would not alter
the provisions of the Blind bill on bimetal-
ism, which Mr.. Greenfell said was of i'm
portance to trade and agriculture. Mr..
Thomas Sutherland, member of parliament
from GreenOck, and Mr.. Samuel Montague.
member of parliament for Lower Hamlets
and other gentlemen also delivered ad-
dresses. The meeting resolved to form a
gold and silver league on popular basis.

THEIR TURN TO LAUGH.
Robert White, shorthand reporter in Pres
ident Stickney's Office, is captain of the
North Star Toboggan club, and he quite
naturally has good many callers at his
desk. tn the same Office are Col. Bend and
Mr.. John i. Thompson, respectively the
secretary of Mr.. Stickney and the attorney
for the road. The latter gentlemen don't
go much on the toboggan business. and one
day this week they put up notice to the
effect that they devoted the day to the to-
boggan craze and attended to their own
business affairs at night. The next day
both of the gentlemen were notified that
they had been elected members of the club,
with the request to forward initiation fees.
The laugh was their way, and at last ac-
counts they weren't saying word.
