Viscount Vaudeville is in a heap of trouble.
He Is not only bankrupt, but the victim of a

The newspaper owned by 3Ir. Russell Harri-
son. IN Helena, Montana. publishes a special
despatch from Washington which will generally
be regarded as authoritative concerning the
policy Of the present administration with respect
10 the removal Of democrats from Office. 1t as
serts that no fixed rule or principle will govern
such cases but that each will be considered on its
own merits. In other words, the cause for the
retention or dismissal of one officer will not be
considered a precedent in the treatment of an
other. Whether this statement is put forth by
authority or not, it is undoubtedly true The
practice of all worthy administrations within
the memory of man has been on such lines. 1t
could hardly be otherwise if the appointing
power would retain the respect of the country
strong effort is being made to induce Mr..
Parnen to visit America. The condition of
affairs in England is such as to make his pres
ence there at this time extremely desirable on
many accounts; but on the other hand the
cause which he represents would undoubtedly
be vastly strengthened by his appearance in
this country. andby the encouraging and enthu-
siastic welcome which would be extended to
him.

The British board Of trade reports show that
the net total of permanent immigration from
TIE United Kingdom has fallen of considerably
OF late. The decrease reached about 10 per
mt in single year. This falling of, strange
T. say. is led by the Irish. who used to be most
eager to escape from their island; while the
Scotch. who formerly chung to their homes as
long as they could are now moving out of them
in larger proIortio than any of the other ma
tionaliteS embraced in the union Do these
statistics contain anything Of prophetic signii-
canoe? The emigration movement continued
in Ireland in full blast till it seemed to be
definitely settled that there was to be a revolu-
ton in the political affairs of that country.
Then the Irish began to stay at home, as if to
await the progress of events. The Scotch
movement is now assuming proportions which
recall strongly the Irish movement imme diately
preceding the first great stroke for home rule.

The Western Coke Trusts Said to Have

The Western Coke Trusts Said to Have
 Passed late liis Control.
 PlrrsHuEu, Oct. 7.-Is was at first supposed that the ,IcKocsport !& Bello- vernon road. which is to be opened next Thursday with a g''. fst cole bration, was an independent orsaniza tion. Later developments show conclusivcly that, in addition to making a connecting branch between the big factories in the vicinity of Mckeesport, it's charter admits of an extension to the coke regions. In fact surveys arc already under way as far ;.s tho network of rail ways owned by the Il. c. Prick Coke Company, and they will be continued further down the Monongahela River. At McKeesport some valuable lots of land have been acquired from Third to Second avenues for the purpose of erect ing a large depot and commodious switch yard.
 This is all construed to mean by shrcwd railway mon here that Andrew Carnegie has secured another foothold to enable him to dictate terms to the Pennsylvania and have a line of his own from the coke regions to the lakes. Mr. Carnegie Is said to own 35. 900 shares of Pittsburg & Western, and has an op- tion on an additional amount to give him control. This option cannot become operative for voting proposes until 1892, as the stock is held by trustees for advances made when the Pittsburg x Western was in difficulties two years ago.
 Tho importance of such a combi na- tion of lines falling into Mir. Carnegie's control is apparent from the fact that ii will enable that gentleman to dictate his own terms on the rates on coke and ore Hc can forward his coke to the lake at Fairport and thence to Chicago at a much lower tariff than is charged at present. The Pennsylvania has not been accustomed to make any conces sions to Mr. Carnegie, for he receives the same treatment as other shippers but it is understood that this does not satisfy him. His grievances have been presented, but have not received any satisfactory considers tion, so that If he ! elects to take advantage of his recent ! railroad investments he IS believed te | hcld the key to the situation.

An Old Gentleman Clad in Fur Furnishes
 Sport for Q Young Fellow.
 . It was 8 fine autumn afternoon in London, says the Little Folks Magazine, and the geological gardens at Regents Park were pretty full of visitors, considering the time of year. Some new attractions had quite drawn away the crowd from the bear pit, and the bears, naturally offended at finding no one there to take notice of them, lay sulking in the darkest corner of their den, greatly to the disappointment of an old gentleman in fur coat, who poked his head through one side of the circular railing g that guarded the mouth of the pit in his sagerness to get look at them. All at once something fell plump upon the brim of his fur cap, making him start as if he had been shot. Had some ono thrown a stone at hima He was lifting his eyes to look for his unknown assailant when second mis- sile ahghted full on his nose, and as it fell at his feet he saw with amaZement that it was huge morsel of cHrrent bun. The next moment a third piece rebounded from his shoulder, while fourth-almost big enough to make supper for school boy-hit him in the eye; and then three or four pieces in succession fell upon him as thick and fast as if the sky were showing buns. Growing angry Gas we'll he might) at this continuous bombardment, the ole gentleman looked savagely round him an6 espied just on the other side of the bear pit young man taking deliberate aim al hina with another pleco of bread. 'I say young fellow,' cried he, angrily, "just have done with that nonsense, will you" At tho sound of his voice the young man started rubbed his eyes with an air of utter be wilderment, and then came running rounG tho circular railing to where the old gentle man stood. s'I'm sure, sir," said he, hur pardous for my rudeness, but to tell the truth I'm very short-sighted, and when cav you through the railing in your ful coat and cap really mistook you for ons

EvA'S PRISON LIFE.
She Is Constantly Moaning and Is Already
 Regarded Object of Pity.

TRENTON, N. J., Oct. Mrs. Eva Hamilton, who arrived at the State Prison Saturday to begin her two years sentence, spent her first Sunday in a penal institution. She was locked up in the female department with the other women convicts at the usual hour Saturday night, and was not allowed out of her cell until o'clock yesterday morning. when she took breakfast.
 Mrs. Hamilton, whose eyes were swol- len from weeping, had evidently passed a sleepless night. Attired in her prison garb, she looked anything but tho gay woman she was at Atlantic City during the summer. Her nerves appeared to be unstrung. One of the night matrons said she heard her moaning during the night.
 Although the interesting convict is all ready regarded as an object of pity, she will be treated like other female con victs. She ate sparingly of the prison fare and seemed to regard 1t as the great hardship of her convict life.
 The usual Sunday services were held in tho chapel, but Mrs. Hamilton mani. fested little or no interest in them, and kept aloof from the other female con- victs even during the devotional exer, cises. It is believed that she will be assigned to the laundry department.

Cuba Reservoir ssoa.y ta Repeat the
 Iohnstown Horror.
 BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 7.--Ihe Cuba Reservoir, a vast artificial lake built by the State of New York, and used as a canal-feeder, Is again reported to be ill 9 dangerous condition.
 There are floods in that region now, and dams have broken which have con tatned much smaller quantities of water.
 The smaller floods have caused loss of life, and this could not fail to be great if the Cuba dam gave way. The lake holds about 5o, 900, ,O00 tons of water, and Engineer George Y. Keith, of Clean, who has made an inspection of 1t, says the dam is ''ramshacklc old mud bank that would disgrace the builder if it were constructed now"
 He says that it is unsafe and ought to be removed, When the Johnstow floods occurred the State authorities in vestigated the dam and pronounced it all right, but this has not allayed the app-ehepstops of people who would suffer by the flood. The feeder is no longer used, it is stated, for public pur- pOS6s

A GREAT RAILROAD SCHEME.
Canadian Charters and Subsidies to Go e
 England and America.

England and America.
 OTTAWA, Oct. "A gigantic scheme is about to be consummated which places tho big railroad Zeal with the North west Central completely i'll the shade. It looks as if all the Canadian charters and Canadian subsidies were going to be gobbled up by American and English syndicates. The St. Paul and Mani toba roads are trying to ac- quire the franchise of the Northwestern railway, which is to run through Edmonton, Calgary and Fort Macleod in the Northwest territories, to the boundary, where it will connect with the road built by the St. Paul and Fort Benton. The Northwestern runs through most fertile belt of the great northwest. Near Calgary 1t will touch upon the coal fields of Canmore, where an unlimited wealth of the finest anthracite coal in the world lies, waiting for development by capitalists. Some of these coal lands are owned by St. Paul capitalists, and the proposal is, after securing the charter of the rail lway and constructing 1t, to commence mine operations with the purpose of supplying the vast ex- tent of country on both sides of the line west of Manitoba with fuel, and by competition shutting up the Galt mines at Lothbridge and the Stewart mines at Bautf.

THE NAvASSA MATTER,
Warrants Granted and tho Matter to E
 Laid Before the President.


 BALTIMORE, October "A warrant was issued by Judge Bond of the L United States Circuit Court for the arrest of the negroes concerned in the Navassa Island murder. United States Marshal George B. Cairnes made return to the warrant that he was powerless to make the arrest; whereupon Judge Bond cer- tiled to President Harrison the facts in the case, and they will be laid before the President by counsel for the Re- ceivers for his action.
 The island comes under the iurisdic- tion of tho United States in consequence of it's discovery in 1856 by Capt. Peter Duncan, who took the proper action whereby tho United States extended it's protective power over the island, by proclamation, etc. Capt. Duncan sold the island to Capt. E. K. Cooper, and by various transfers it afterwards became tho property of the Navassa Phosphate Company. The revised statutes of the United States hold murder committed on the island the same as if committed on vessel on the high seas.

A DELICATE QUESTION.
Tho Race Problem to Como Before the
 Congregational National Council.


 BosToN, Got. T.--Next Wednesday the National Council of the Congrega- tional Churches of the country will be- gin its triennial session in Worcester, Mass.
 One of the most important questions to come before it involves tho race is sue The Georgia Congregational As sOciation, which has been reorganized as the Congregational Body of Georgia, is composed of fifteen small colored churches. The Congregational Metho- dist Conference of Georgia, an older body than the former. and composed of white churches. has applied for recog- milton, and it's delegates will seek ad- mission to the Council
 The delicate question foT the Council to decide is whether 1t shall recognize two bodies of Congregational churches In one State, when tho only reason for doing so is that they arc composed of people of different races.

EOULANGISTS BEATEN.
Tho Second lsallottnE for Deputies Results
 in Loss for the General.

PARIS, Oct. 7.-The second ballots progressed very quietly everywhere yesterday. Tho followers of Boulanger appear to have deserted his standard quite generally. and it is estimated that quite two-thirds of the 1S6 seats con- tested for the second time have zone to the Republicans. Even the hitherto staunch Boulangist, Laguerre, no longer uses the name of his former chief in describing his political faith, but calls himself Revisionist. In this course he is followed by many of the Generals former supporters.
 In the First Seine District NJ. Guyot, Minister Of Public Works, is elected, and in the Eleventh M. Floquet, the ex- Premier. M. Laisant, the Boulangist, is elected in the Eighteenth. In Bor- deaux two Boulangists have been re- turned.
 The totals for Paris give the Republi- cans 22 and the Boulangists 14 Deputies elected. Among the Republicans re- turned are NM. Lockroy, Milleraud, Dreyfus, Raspail, Lanessau and Mar mattan. Among the Boulangists elected are Dr. Mery, who defeated M Basly, and NJ. Senne, who defeated Heredia.
 In the Eighth Seine District NJ. Marlin. Conservative Boulangist, de- feated the well known Deputy, Passy, and in the Ninth, Emile Ferry defeated NJ. Berry, Conservative. In tho Belle vile District, the Socialist, Dumay, defeated M. Rochefort. Lyons returns three Republicans.
 The latest returns received this morn. ing give the results in 153 districts. Of these the Republicans have been successful in 1OS and the Boulangists or other opponents of the Republicans

 BROOKLYN, \. Y., Oct. 1.-The Asso- citation race is now in very interesting stage. The Brooklyns are by no means sure of 1t. They now have a lead of Is points over the St. Louis team-a clear lead of three games. The Brooklyns have seven scheduled games to play, four with Baltimore and three with Columbus, and all of them must be played away from home. St. Louis has six scheduled games to play, three oach with Louisville and Cincinnati. Brook lyn has three postponed and tie games. One of these with St. Louis cannot be played. One with the Athletics and one with Columbus may be played. St. Louis has five postponed and tie games. Four of these can be played off. Three arc with the Athletics and ono with Cincinnati. Therefore Brooklyn can play ton games and St. Louis eleven games.
