LONDON, January 23.-It Is beyond

overt acts of hostility. The latter has been
persuaded that Bismarck wishes war and
Is endeavoring to precipitate 1t, aud the
anti German manifestations in Lithuania
ana other provinces are an indication that
the Russian Government Is earnest In its
desire to Danish the language and other re-
mainders of the detested Teuton from Rus

theoretical warriors have favored the world
with their views as to the campaign which
they regard as inevitable between Ger.

WAITER MURRAY gibson DEAD.
a South Cnrolinian Who Ruled "a Kingdom
Sketch ofa Remarkable Career.
(FrOm the New York Neraldl

,r ,tFrom the New York UcraldJ
waiter M. Gibson, eX-Prime Mini ster

Kalakaua, died in San Francisco on SAT-
urday evening, of consumption. His
health had been gradually failing since
his arrival hero in July last. The body
will be embalmed and taken to honolulu

In South Carolina, has had caroer tnat

son, S. g., and was then regarded as q
smalt, shrewd fellow. He remained at
Anderson several yeurs, marrying a good
lady III that ncighborhood, who was a
nieco Of Mr. j. r. Smith. Some six or
seven years ago Gibson revisited the
scenes Of his early days, and remained q
week or two in the State. His first wife
had been long 6iuce dead and he had
married again, the second time dough-
ter OF King KaluIIaua, the ruler Of tho
island.
Gibson was arrested in 1852 for trying
to violate tho neutrality laws by taking
arms into NcnczuCla. Escaping in n
small schooner he went to Brazil and
thence to Sumntra, whcrc ho stirred the
and WAS Imprisoned for two years. Re-

THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.
Important Changes Said to be About to b
Made Among the Church Dignitaries IL
AmerIcS.

| America.
BALTIMORE, January 25.--A special
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, at
Rome, writes that number Of import
ant changes in connection with the gov
ernment Of the Catholic Church in tho
United States nre contemplated.
Though nothing has been formulated
yet, it is agreed upon III ecclesiastical
circles that Archbishop Williams, of
Boston, will be made Cardinal at the
Consistory in March. Other changes
toreshadowed by the Sun correspondent
are that Bishop McMahon, of Hartford,
Conn.,, will DO the new Cardinals coad-
jutor, aud the Rev. DR.. Byrne, of Bos-
ton, will succeed Bishop McNIahon.
The Rev. DIR. Cbapelle, Of Washing
ton, will probably be promoted 30 the
vacant Archbishopric of New Olleans.
That new Archbishopric will be created
out of the Archdiocese Of Milwaukee,
and Bishop Ireland will become tho new
Archbishop, and that DIR. O'COnncll,
rector of the American College in Rome,
Will succeed Bishop Keauc, of Rich
mond, when the latter assumes his duties
i'll the new University at Washington.
A member Of the Papal household,
and one emincntly qualified to speak,
told the Sun correspondent that Pope
Leo would not take the slightest notice
of an attempt to provoke jcalousics be-
tween Irish and German Catholics III tho
United States.
Strange stories, to speak Of them in
the mildest style, have crept into Rome
regarding alleged complaints at the pre-
dominance of Irish prelates in the Amer.
lean hierarchy. Tho Pope has said that
in making promotions in that direction
he will not recognize, even if accom-
panied by the strongest recommends
tlons, any claims for appointment based
on national preferences. lie is deter
mined not to give ear to either side,
should the issue ever come, for he holds
that no citizen is Irish or German solely
and distinctly in thn United States, but
an American and IL, o,,th mentally and
spiritually qualified for thc O sition il
question will be only considered the
cases to those who are named as fitting
persons to be promoted.

The statement has been mado that the
damage suits resulting from tho Chats
worth disaster Of last August on the
Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad,

in all, and they cost the C )mpany little
over 100000.

The same feature that attended the
first burial of the great Napooon was
noticeable at the latest honors paid to

his grave on English soil by English
soldiers.

ton was attracted by group OF royal
9rtlllorymcn from Woolwich, whore the
Prince studied the art of war, and then
by groups OF nelghbOrs and villagers
from miles around. These latter had
somo sentiment and more curiosity, but
most OF all they showed their wounded

The building of this road 10 the Common

when il was decided 10 build the cascade

Il was always Mr.. Wizards intention 10
treat Seattle and Tacoma exactly alike. so
far a. railroad facilities were concerned.
and he often remarked to me thar he be
leyed in running a railroad on business
principles. regardless of town lot Speeuia-

same to-day as he did then.
1T IS not necessary for me 10 go into de-

Seattle to Common Point The uewspap,ers
have enumerated them over and over
again, and orators have enlarged upon
them on the stump ! have heard no

feel 50 good as this. and am confident all
who have the best interests of seattle a,
heart viii rejoice when they learn that the
