LONDON, Oct. 5.-M. DeBlowitz sends
communication from Paris to the London
Times today in connection with a letter he
has received from New York relating to the
New International society, whose head Off
GERS are in New York. 1t affirms that the
branches of this association are in existence
all over the United States and Europe, and
that the new society is much more blood
thirsty and far-reaching than the old society
OF that name. subcommittee of the So
ciety for the management of its European
affairs is said to have headquarters in Lon
don, and is only subservient to the New
York head center in such matters as are of
sufficient importance to demand the close
attention of the supreme leaders.
The society counts hundreds of thousands,
If not millions, of adherents all of whom are
under the strictest dicipline and are sworn
to absolute obedience. The German Social

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Alexander Jonas. the
editor of the New Yorker Volks Zeitung. the
Socialist organ In New York, denies the
truth Of DeBlowitz's story and adds. "The
Socialistic party does not need any new or
organization, for the one which exists serves
their purpose. AS for the bloodthrsty idea
that is all moonshine and hoax l have no
knowledge of any such movement and il
there was anything of the kind on foot l
would be one of the first to hear of it, 1t is an
invention on the part of the London Times
correspondent and he made his story out of
whole cloth or else he has been hoaxed by
some one."

Mr.. Blaine In Detroit.

DETROIT, Sept. Sin consequence Of
slight cold and hoarseness which has deyel-
oped since his speech in the open air yester-
day at Adrian, Mr.. Blaine determined this
morning to give up his trip to East Saginaw
and Ishpeming. This determination was
strengthened by the heavy atmosphere in
this part of the State, and reports of an icy
temperature in the northern peninsula. Mr..
Blaine is at the residence of General Alger
in Detroit today where he viii remain until
Monday when he will fill his ENGAGEMENTS at
Grand Rapids. From that point he will pro-
ceed TO Indiana. He has declined the pro-
posed reception rendered him by the Chicago
Union League. He will arrive in Chicago
about the 18th or 18th of October. TheIe Is
nothing serious ia his present indisposition
and the cancellation OF East the Saginaw and
Ishpeming dates was caused simply. by a de-
sire to strengthen his voice.

Inventions and Tunnel Digging.

Work upon the Mont Gems tunnel
Wa begun in 1857, about two years be-
fore DE Lesseps commenced operations In
Egypt. The working parties in the oppo-
site headings, French and Italian, met on
Christmas day, 1870, about a year after
the Inauguration Of the Suez canal. The
st. Gothard tunnel was begun after the
completion of the Mont Gents, in 1872;
the headings met Feb. 30, 1880. The
length Of the Mont Gems tunnel is over
seven and a half miles; that OF the st.
Gothard about nine and a quarter miles.
These are the longest tunnels ever con-
structed.
The invention. by means Of which the
progress Of the work was facilitated, con-
sists in the use Of atmospheric air as q
motor. BY means Of water power air Is
reduced to one-sixth its ordinary bulk,
and the expansive force thus acquired
performs the drilling. Owing to the
conditions under which tunneling is done,
this method is Of signal advantage,
Each Of the Alpine tunnels was ~cNcayated
through solid rock, 50 that blasting was
necessary. The use Of explosives vitiated
the air, while the length of the passage
and the impossibility Of sinking shafts
made the ventilation question a vital one.
Had the drills been run by steam, the
presence Of steam engines constantly
generating smoke and gas would have
heated and initiated the air still further.
By the new invention the difficulty was
met. The air was compressed outside
If the tunnel, and conveyed into it by
pipes. Here a double purpose was served:
by its expansion and liberation the air
ran the drills, and ventilated the tunnel.

RELIC OF FeUDAL TIMES.

Why q Host Pours burgundy into His
Own Glass Before serving Guests.
Three gentlemen were dining in an up
town restaurant the other night when u
bottle of choice Burgundy vas placed
before the host. He poured a few drops
into his glass and then flied the
glasses Of his guests after which he
again turned his attention 10 his own.
Then they all lifted their glassc,, inhaled
the delicate aroma. and slipped the wine
gently.

the proprietor of the restaur mt to a re-
porter, indicating the man who was tax

to insist upon his hosts drinking the

10 the prior Of the convent in that town
demanding refreshmcnts for his officers
and men. The prior sent back word that
the men could find quarters in the town.
