NEW YORK, Nov. IL, 1889.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company expect to have two new
cables completed within ten days
which will connect New York City
with Canso, Nova Scotia. from
which place the cables are laid across
the Atlantic. The steamer "Fara-
dy," which has been used i'm the
work, laid the shore end of the ca
bic last week, and is at work
on the other now. These cables
will give the Western Union Com
pany direct cable connection be-
tween New York City and Great
Britain, and will make its service
absolutely free from interruption
incident TO winter storms on land
in this country. Heretofore all out
going cable dispatches have been
sent by land TO Nova Scotia. from
whore they were repeated and sent
under the Atlantic. The new
method to be inaugurated will be
an improvement on this, though il
seems strange that messages can be
sent under the sea with more safety
than by land. Twenty-Five or
thirty years ago the man who would
propose to lay n telegraph wire "
long the bottom of the sea in pref
erence to striugiug it ont on land
would be considered crazy.
THESUNDAY QUESTION on FIFTH Az.
The question Of running the fifth
Avenue stages on Sundays. or of
not running them, is creating a
good deal of commotion on the part
of the owners. The stage company
is controlled 10y Col. Shepard, editor
ofthe MaIa anil Express, who has not
permitted the stage to be II on sun
day for several months. The rest
Of the stockholders are opposed to
this and are making vigorous objec-
ton. They say that the company
has lost thousands of dollars since
that policy was inauguroted, and
blame Col. Shepard for it. They
also charge him with trying to
Greece them out" and decorate
him with numerous titles besides
that OF Colonel, and much less com
.plimentary. While all this is go
ing on the people along the line of
Fifth avenue have to walk TO church
while the less fyorol brethren Of
the east and west sides may ride.
BAIL PLAYERS REBEL.
The Baseball Players National
League which has been organized
by the Brotherhood of Ball Players
in opposition to the old league, is
busy arranging plans at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. A rigid contract
has been drawn up, which is to be
signed by the players and the enthu-
%siastic capital holders who are put
ting their dollars into the new lea
que. The players are as anxious to
have binding contracts as the CAPT
talists and "A large number Of the
former are taking stock in the new
concern. The Brotherhood intends
to formulate rules for the next sea-
son just as soon as they have settled
the question Of finance and contra
cts. 1t is said that the grounds
have been secured in nearly every
city where they are required, and
it is evident that the boys are in for
a fight against their old employers
and are determined to win. If ]
mistake not, they will have the
hearty support Of the baseball-loving
public.

A Mysterious Sensation.

LONDON, December 25.-There was a sud-
den and mysterious sensation in Paris over
a report that the king of Greece had abdi-
ted. Since the sudden change of govern
ment in Brazil Europeans are ready to ac-
cept almoet any report of revo ution and
change of dynasty, 10 matter how unher-
aided or inexpicable. The old notion that
Governments that have not been seriously
opposed are secure from Immediate over
throw received severe shock when Dom
fed'o fell. The report in regard to Greece
however. proved untounded. Hardly had
it been disproved before another sensation
vas caused by a rumor that the empress of
Austria had committed suicide. This also
proved to be canarj. The Parisians are
consequently in such skeptical mood that
they are not diSinciined to believe any news
whatever. Just who has teen amusing
himself by hoax ng them is not known. It
is singular that the fal.e reports were not
current IN any other capital.

CLxvEIANp, O., December 24.-The fol-
lowing call has been issued. The provi-
sional committee of the non partisan W. C.
T. Q. to the public:
For five years serious division of senti-
ment and division has existed among the
membership and between the leaders of the
National Womans Christian Temperance
union on the subject of proper attitude to-
ward politics and political parties. The
chasm between the advocates of partisan and
non partisan methods of temperance work
was apparently wider, and as no desire il
manifest on the part of the majority to have
it bridged harmony seems impossible. Re-
dress of grievances was denied at the ma
tional convention. Only one recourse was
left to such as believe they enlisted at the
call of the Lord and can retire from the
work only when he mustered them out of
service, and that was to form a new organ
ization, for the following reasons:
First-We believe that the political policy
of the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union to be unquestionably wrong
IN principle, contrary to the letter and spirit
of the original constitution, illogical in its
reasonings, inconsistent in its workings and
exceedingly detrimental to the cause of
temperance.
Second-We believe the work of Christian
temperance stands above and beyond the
lines of party or sect, and we cannot follow
the lead of the rationale INVENTION in pledg-
ing our influence to any party. We must
be free to call on the best men of all parties
for the aid we need, and must have help to
make our work a success. We must have
the influence of the press, of the nation. SO
far as that influence is On the side of God
and humanity, irrespective Of party lines.
We must range under our banners the
Christian temperance women of all sections
of our nation, which can not be done by an
organization whose sympathies and support
is pledged to Iarty.
Thlrd-An increasingly large number of
women who have contributed money, infiu-
ence, and years of hard. self-denying labor
to build up the national w. {. L. L., feel
that tn ir usefulness is crippled and their
consistency questioned by the eQuIvocal
policy OF the national union, which avows
Its allegiance to, and boldly champions the
cause of olitical party, while at the same
time it denies its partlsanshlp. We desire
to organize ON basis SO broad that prayer
may be made for US in all churches without
fear of oifeuse.
To this end we invite all IN sympathy with
our principles and methods to meet with US
at Music hall, Cleveland. o., on or about

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2s.-In q
