ST. PErERsBURG.--Th Journal DC st
Petersburg says it is satisfied with the
reference 20 European affairs which Lord
Salisbury made Ia mis- speech at the lord
mayors banquet in London recently. 1t
says il shares his hopes tina: peace will
arise from the meeting OF the emperors
at Peterhof, and declares that these hope
responds 10 the wishes of the Russian
people. The Journal asserts that tbs
statement of the Italian government that
Russia considered that the capitalization
did not apply t. M.ssowa is premature
Russia, it says, will not bjeot TO abolish
the capitulations when the other powers
have agreed to such step, but their abo'
lition, ipso facto, through the occupation
of q country by civilized government is
an innovation which has neither been DIS
cu.sed nor accepted.

THE GLASS INDUSTRY.
A TALK WITH NR. WILLIAM LEIGHTON
ON THE SUBJECT.
The Fires Lighted at the Hobbs Glass Works
Which Means an Early Start-SOms Ohio
Establishments in Which Wheeling
People are Interested.

Mr.. William Leighton, formerly Of the
firm Of Hobbs, Brockunier & Co., of this
city, now located in Chicago, arrived in
the city Saturday and is quartered at the
Mcclure. Mr.. leighton has quite an in
terIst in the new Hobbs Glass Company,
and his visit here is on business connected
with that establishment. A REGISTER re-
porter met Mr.. Leighton at the Mcclure
last evening and he expressed himself as
being well pleased that the new company
had gotten matters in such shape as to
enable them to start the works.
"Of course, there is no doubt of the sue
cess of the company if everything is con-
Quoted in the proper manner, and 1 have
no doubt that they will be-" said Mr.
Leighton. so these days of so much
competition in the glass trade it naturally
requires hard work and close attention TO
all the details of the business to come out
en- top, and / opine success for the Hobbs
NrldsS OOhpooN.
HAS the Findlay district any sdvan-
tages over Wheeling as glass manufactur-
ing center"
"Weil, it certainly possesses one great
adyautags-that is the matter OF free gas
TO all the new factories that locate there.
As you know, that is quite q large item
of expense and think the cost Of fuel has
amounted to almost as much per annum
rs the dividends of the Wheeling factories.
As far rs am able to ascertain the Find
Inv district has no disadvantages that or
set this saving in the cost Of fuel and 80 1t
Is naturally presumed that they are Just
that much ahead in this respect. think
the majority of the factories are guaranteed
free gls for five years"
"What 40 you think of the statement
that there is an immense cavern under
Findlay and that beneath it there IS q
raging fire, which is liable at no distant
day 70 destroy the town By terrific ex-
plosion?"
81 think that is all foolishness, and the
statement is not borne out by scientific
facts. Iu the first place no internal hre
could be raging at q depth OF two miles
below the surface of the earth, or at
any greater distance for that matter,
because no oxygen permeates TO
that depth, hence there could be no COM
bustion. There may be not condition OF
the earth from some Cause, but no hire.
The people of Findlay look upon the
whole matter in the light of good read
able newspaper article, perhaps melted By
people who are attempting to hurt the
city, and that is undoubtedly about all 1t
amounts to. Anyway, it doesn't worry
the inhabitants bit, and the city is pro-
crossing in every way. The gas wells are
undoubtedly the most lasting Of any field
in the country, the pressure having dimln-
ished but little since they were first struck.
The future ofFindlay is no doubt bright.

TIE VOLKsFEsT OFF,
And Instead Collections VIII be Tax
Up by the XArIona Societies.

And Instead Collections VIII be Taken
Up by the Various Societies.
A meeting of the delegates selected by
the German singing societies of the city to
make arrangements to hold grand Volks-
fest for the benefit Of the sufferers by the
recent flood, of which previous mention
has been made at numerous times in the
REGISTER, was held last evening at Ger
mania Hall, and a fair attendance was
present.
p, On motion of Mr.. Augustus Pollock, DR..
G. F. Ulrich was called to the chair, and
Secretary O. r. Behler was in his place.
The matter Of the Volksfest was
taken up and discussed, and there
appeared a decided opposition to
it for various reasons. 1t was argued
that the arrangements for such an event
would require great deal of time and at
tention; that the expenses would be quite
heavy; that there was risk of the day
being an unpropitious one; that there have
been a great many entertainments of like
nature recently, and summing the whole
matter up the conclusion was arrived ut
that the amount to be realized from such
an entertainment would lily compensate
those In. charge for their trouble. Although
all present disliked to see the project fall
through, yet they realized that the end
would not justify the means, and when q
vote was taken the majority against the
fest settled the matter.
1t WAS generally argued and conceded
that a much better result could be oh
tanned by the various societies taking nm
collections among themselves and turning
the amounts into the general fund. Sec
Rotary Behler was requested to notify all
the societies of this decision and urge
them 10 turn in their contributions at a.
early day az possible. Several have
already proceeded in this manner and
have neat sums ready TO turn into the
treasury Of the Pioneer Society, from
which it will be distributed in the proper
and most effectual manner.
The meeting also adopted resolutions of
thanks to the presiding officers, to the
delegates, to the ladies who 90 kindly
offered their assistance and 10 all Who
helped to put the matter on foot.
While the much-talked of 'YolkaSest
would have afforded great deal of pleas-
ure, and probably have resulted success
fully in every way, still there In not much
doubt that the action of the meeting Last
evening viii prove to be the wisesf course,
and the amount Of money received viii
doubtless be much larger than The net
