PINCH BUGS PEST.
They Took Possession OF Car and the
Passengers Resorted to Stratagem.

Il
New YORK, June s.-The milk train
on the Central Railroad Of New Jersey
was delayed near the White House sta
tion about half an hour one night last
week. The train draws two passenger
coaches behind the milk cars. On this
night there were half dozen passen-
gers aboard. 1t was warm and they
had the windows all raised. The train
/ had been standing on the side track 4
| few minutes when a swarm OF large
pinch bugs, attracted by the lights in
the cars, few in through the windows.
In five minutes the seats were nearly
covered with the bugs, and they had
begun TO crawl around on the legs OF
the passengers and TO use their sharp
pinchers.
The passengers tried TO brush them
off. but they stuck like leeches. In five
minutes more the bugs had possession
of the two cars. The passengers fled.
As soon as the passengers got in the
dark the bugs othat had clung 10 them
left them and flew back into the lighted
ear. How TO get them out of the car
before the train got orders to go ahead
was problem. Finally one OF the pass
engers suggested building bonfire out
side as a counter attraction. One of the
brakemen went into the cars and put
out all the lights, while the other train
men and the passengers gathered
brushwood for the bonfire. They had
enough to make roaring blaze in few
minutes. It was success. The bugs
deserted the cars and the passengers
went back, shut down the windows and
sat in darkness until the train started.

Daniel v, %: "And the God in whose

ways. hast thou not gloriiied?" From
this text the minister preached an elo-
quent sermon on the vanity Of earthly
hopes and the folly of human sin.

acter in the great BabylOnian drama,
Daniel, and graphically pictured his

together and now sleep on their fire
arms. Settlers in the vicinity of the
agency are almost wholly without pro
lection, and many of them have aban-
doned their homes and fled to Mile:
City and other neighbOring towns. The
feeling against the whites has been bit

at Queenstown at 10 o'clock this morning.
The vessel had a narrow escape from de
struction at Fastnet. She made land in
dense fog at a m. to-day. She was going
slowly and was taking soundings, when
Notwithstanding the care, struck Fastnet
rock, about three miles seaward of Crook
Haven, bow on. Her fore foot got on the
rock, and but for the promptitude display
ed in reversing the engines great fatality
would have been recorded. Passengers
who were interviewed say that the
steamer trembled all over when she
struck the rock For time there was in
tense alarm on board, the density Of the
fog adding TO the ominous character OF the
situation. The passengers were finally
quieted by the repeated assurances Of the
commander and other officers of the steam
er that not the slightest danger existed.
The full extent of the damage will not be
ascertaned until the vessel is docked at

Position Critical - German
Affairs in General.

BERLIN. June 7.-Chancellor Won
Caprivi did not send circular To inc
powers, nor did he communicate with
any foreign representatives except the
Austrian ambassador on the subject OF
Prince Bismarck's utterances In inter
views with newspaper correspondents.
The alleged remarks OF the prince TO
the effect that Germany was not bound
by treaty TO assist Austria in the event
Of war with Russia over the struggle
for dominance in the Balkan peninsula
caused Count Kalnoky 10 inquire
HOW FAR THE EMPEROR
and Chancellor shared this interpella-
ton of the responsibilities OF the alli-
ancc. Gen. Won Caprivi, in his re-
sponse, avoiding the discussion OF such
an Interpretation, declined to attach
any value TO the reported interviews
with the retired statesman. Prince
Bismarck has written to both Signor
Crispi and Count Kalnoky correcting
the irritating impressions arising from
these reports OF interviews. The En-
peror and mis- ministers concur IN re-
spectful treatment OF the eX-Chanccllor.
They recognize his right to a public ex-
preston of his views on State affairs
through any medium he may choose.
Suggestions have been given to the oili-
cial press to allude to Prince Bismarck
only when necessary and then to speak
of him with unvarying courtesy as
statesman who has rendered
THE GREATEST SERVICES
to his country, but who has probably
outlived his capacity TO guide the
affairs OF the nation. This exactly rep
resents the attitude the Emperor de-
sires the Ministers TO assume towards
prince Bismarck. The North Germdn
Gazette, which is now as much Chan
cellor Won Capriyi's organ as ever it was
Prince Bismark's. seeks to minimize the
import of the Princes utterances by
declaring them to be- those of mere
private gentleman having nothing
whatever to do with the present policy
of the empire or with the means OF in
nuencing it. This view of the eX-chan-
cellors's position, ignores the fact that
he still holds intimate relations and 4
continual correspondence with the heads
of the Fcderals. the leaders OF the Con-
servatives and National Liberals. be-
sides maintaining touch with foreign
statesmen. The government may soon
be glad to accept his assistance to pass
