THE WAR-CLOUD in EUROPE.
The Attitude of Russia Still Causes I'm
easiness.

A cablegram from Berlin, June Is, says: The
American delegates to the Samoan conference
are much compiimented on the result of their
iabors. William Walter Phelps is regarded by
every one as the coming United States minister,
though he himself denies that he has been
offered the position. The official press is dis
inclined to dwell upon the matter of the Samoan
settlement, all the glory of which is lost to
Germany, and brief paragraph in the Mort,
German Gazette on the conclusion of the con-
ference states that the agreement was arrived
at with perfect unanimity by the powers repre-
sented and to the satisfaction of all parties
cerned.
The Servian government has refused to re-
new the commercial treaty with Austria-H Hum
gary which expires in 1880. Everything indi-
Gates that the Russian party in Belgrade, conf
dent Of its ascendancy, is working to effect some
definite aim and that its schemes can only end
in precIpltating war or in a peaceable parti-
ton Of the Balkan states between Austria and
Russia. 1t is expected that the compromise
will be effected in the Wohlgemuth affair.
Italy and England have not yet spoken on the
subject but should they support the demand of
the other powers Switzerland will likely con-
sent to n stricter surveillance over foreigners
and remove the reproach of harboring revolu-
tionists.
The Journal de ST. Petersburg makes an en-
phatic denial of the alarmist reports circulated
by foreign newspapers attributing warlike in
tentions to Russia.

THE VOLUNTEER CRIPPLED.
She is Warped and Bulged, and She
Will Not Defend the Cup.

A Boston special to the New York Sun says:
There are many ifs" and lands" about the
proposed international cup race, but in case
the Valkyrie does come over here to strive for
the Americas cup it is positive fact that the
Volunteer will not defend the cup. The Vol
unteer's racing days are over. Gen. Payne
will neither put the yacht in commission, nor
will he allow anybody else to do so. The
reason for this is not known to many Yachts
men. The crack sloop is so badly crippled
that it would cost as much to put her in racing
shape as a new boat would cost. The plates
are badly warped and bulged out of shape
This is due to the hasty construction and the
severe strain to which the timbers were sub
jected. The fine lines have been destroyed
and the yacht would fall far behind her work
Of other seasons. Gen. Paine prefers to let the
yachts record stand unmarried by defeat than
take any chances with the boat in crippled
condition. The rig of the yacht could be
changed from sioop to schooner, and the Vol
unteer would then be in tip-top condition for
cruising, but as a racer the Volunteer is a back
number.

Saloon Men and a Detc ctive.

The liquor men of Trenton, n. j.. have
turned on their principal prosecutor Edward
Leighton, the law-and-order detective. A
Trenton special to the Philadelphia Press says:
Saturday they had him arrested, charged with
selling obscene pictures. He came nearly
going to Jail in default of $1,000 BAIL but
Joseph Richardson. of the Law and Order
society, came to his rescue and kept the bars
from penning him in. Leighton has produced
information that has led to the indicting of
twenty-three liquor men. He came here from
Doylestown, Bucks county, and makes his living
going from town to town Offering his services
to law and order leagues. He was badly beaten
some time ago. and this caused seven saloon
men to be indicted here for conspiracy to kill,
and over in Bucks county for assault. Leighton
will have hearing in two weeks.

Behring Sea Questions.

Ottawa dispatch to y. Y. Herald June 10
S. II. Webb, of New Westminste B. c., is in
town. He says he has information to the effect
that England and the United States have come
to an understanding in accordance with which
no seizures of British vessels will be made in
Behring sea this season. As soon as the exist
ing contract with the Alaska fur company ex-
pIres an effort will be made to hold an interna-
tional conference for the purpose of taking
steps to Jointly protect the seal fur fisheries
there as well as in the South Pacific Islands.
Mr. Webb says the United States has undoubt-
eddy superior rights. The indiscriminate
slaughter of seals is having bad effect For
seven shoals shot only one is secured.

A Kiss in the Dark.

Horace Vernet, the artist, was going
from Versailles TO Paris by railway.
In the same compartment with him
were two ladies whom he had never
seen before, but who were evidently
acquainted with him. They examined
him infinitely and commented freely
on his martial bearing, his hale old
age, the style of his dress, etc. They
continued their annoyance until finally
the painter determined to put an end
TO the persecution. As the train passed
through the tunnel OF st. Cloud, the
three travellers were wrapped in COM
pletc darkness. Vernet raised the back
of his hand TO his mouth and kissed it
twice violently. On emerging from
the obscurity, he found that the ladies'
had withdrawn their attention from
him, and were accusing each other of
having been kissed by man in the
dark
Presently they arrived at Paris, and
Vernet on leaving them said: Ladies,
l shall be puzzled all my life by the in
quiry, which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me?"-St. Louis Republic.

SterIIized Milk.

It is stated that Norwegian has dfs-
covered way of preserving milk with
out condensation. Simply acting on
the knowledge that certain small or
ganisms are the cause of fermentation
and putrefaction in milk he first set
himself to completely destroy these
and then protect the milk from further
contact by Theoretically sealing it up
in tins. This is called sterilizing the
milk, and is effected by raising it to q
high temperature, then allowing it to
cool, and heating it again till not only
the bachteria but the germs and spores
they produce, and which can resist a
much higher temperature than the
parent organisms, are destroyed.

1t was real horrid of them to fight

course they couldn't help it.
1t was perfectly plain to Mrs. Wheelox
that she had been grievously insulted; OH

that the offense TO herself was mortal. The
question was, who was the first aggrieved?
Upon whom, according to the etiquette of
She code, devolyed the duty of issuing a
challenge?
1t was a delicate question, and as both
these ladies are celebrated for their sensi-
tive observance of the nceties of social
convention, it puzzled them sadly. The
problem was solved at last by this process
of reasoning on the part of Mrs. Wheelox:
'Inasmuch as the first public affront was
given by dear Mrs. Slatherton, and worse
one in response to my letter, and inasmuch
es my second letter has not been answered,
II is plainly Incumbent on me to take such
steps as shall bring the matter to an issue"

And seraph ne'er knows.

With bee that embraces

Luxurious hummer -

Dcfying the lances
That MONDAY advances,
To revel where dances

Where perfumes are winginS
More worthy my singing

Vatican draperies as well as the straight

silks, and they are trimmed, according to
the use for which they are indicated, with
velvet revers, ETC., or with quantities, more
or less, of creamy lace. Very few of the
imported costumes have plating to show
around the bottom; the skirt or drapery is
hemmed up about two inches, and falls

Embroideries on all sorts of goods are
for the plain falling breadths of the Direc-
toire redingotes, and it is often the emf
broidery and style of work in it that char
acterize the costume. 1t seems little
strange to see rich Oriental gold and silver
embroideries applied to the severely classic
draperies of the modernzed Directoire
gown, yet there they are, and looking quite
in keeping. Even the light veilings and
grapes have panels or insertings of en-
broidered silk, and often handsome silk
coat with embroidered vest is worn with
skirt of plain yelling of the same or con-
trasting color, plated or with the fullness
shirred to some little distance below the
waist.
1t is emphatically a silk season, and silk
may be used in all combinations and with
any material; and, in fact scarcely any
