THE BABIES ON THE BLOCK.

None OF Them Will BE in 1t When Miss
Cleveland Shows Herself.
NEW York, Dot. 4.-The home Of Grover
Cleveland was stared at by many curious
eyes to-day. The soft Indian summer air
brought thousands to Central park, which
is only block from the Cleveland home.
Hundreds sauntered from the park through
Sixty-sixth street to view the house where
Gen. Grant was go long sick before going to
the mountains to die and where his widow
now lives. Turning into Madison avenue
the siehtseers strolled up the avenue to -fooK
at the house where, according to the morn
ing papers, the new born baby was. On
the opposite side of the street all
through the afternoon, were lettering,
curious people, who stopped in little knots
windows let in the soft air. which gently
lifted the curtains behind them. There
were many messages of congratulatlon
during the day. but the doctor and the
messenger boys chiefly made up the callers.
Word came out from the quiet house that
satisfactory condition. The little cne's
grandmother, Mrs. Cleveland's mother, left
the house for brief airing during the
afternoon. The most definite description
of the child is to the effect that the baby
has light hazel eyes and there are indica-
tlOnB that sne Will De Drunetbe.
There is no doubt whatever
that she will have dimple,
if all the statements of those who have seen
her are to be believed. because they all
agree on that point. They also agree that
she will be beauty, not as great beauty
as her mother probably, but still beauty.
The bsby's outfit of wearing apparel is said
to be dream of tasteful elegance and mill
linery skill. She will have no use for these
pretty things of silk and satin and velvet
for some time to come but when she does
make her appearance in public she is likely
to take the shine off most Of the babies on
the block.

Important Matters to Come Before the
Annual Convention This Week.
GALEsBuRG, ILL.,, Oct. 4.-The annual con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen of the United States and Canada
opens here tomorrow, and 424 lodges will
be represented. The principal issues to
come before the convention relate to the
discharge of grand trustees by Grand Mas
ter Wilkinson, the discharge of the switch
men on the Northwestern and the election
of officers. Grand Chief Conductor Clark.
of the Order of Railway Conductors, who is
here, sustains the position taken by Grand
Master Wilkinson, and disapproyes the
action taken by the supreme court in OK
pelling the trainmen. Hon. l.. s. Coffin, of
Iowa. is here to advocate the necessity Of
automatic couplers for oars and sunday
rest for railway employees. So far as the
switchmen's trouble is concerned, it ia
likely the convention will sust ain the 40.
tion of the yardmaster. The latter part of
the week some action may be taken on the
federation question. but this will depend
on the action taken at the meeting this
week at Cedar Rapids of the committees Of
the Brotherhood OF Railway Conductors and
the Order of Railway Irainmen, on the
proposition of union Of the organizations.

ANACONDA REJOICES.
News OF the Resumption Of Mines and
gmslters Stirs Things Up.


ANACONDA, Oct. Especial. This Ia a
day Of Joy and Thanksgiving, the result of
Marcus Daly's announcement that the Ana
oonda mines and smelters would resume
operations within ten days. II il under
stood that in the compromise effected be-
tween the Anaconda company and the
Montana Union railroad the former was
victorious in nearly all the principal points
in dispute. Already the city has assumed
fresh life and activity. The merchants, who.
owing to the uncertainty OF the situation.
have allowed their stocks to run very low, are
preparing to rush ahead orders for big sup-
plies of goods. II is worthy OF note, that
while many saloons and gambling houses
have closed up sinco the beginning Of the
suspension last April, only one merchant
has failed and the failure was insignificant.
The people have borne the hard times
bravely. Anaconda, whose population has
fallen off from $500 to 5000, will probably
recover her former prosperity in months
time. 1t is difficult to exagQsrate the pap
piness of the people here to-day. Every
body is celebrating in his own peculiar
style.

FITNESS FOR PROMOTION.

1t Is to Be Determined in the Army by
Strict Examinations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The president has
prescribed set of rules which have been
promulgated by the secretary of war, pro
viding for system of examination to de-
termine the fitness for promotion of all
officers of the army below the grade Of
major. When congress passed the act Of
October /, 1890, providing for such exami-
nations, it went into effect Immediately and
in order to adjust the scheme to the men
who had made no preparation for the exam
nations, the requirements were somewhat
limited. The act now has been in opera
tion year and it is deemed proper to
make the examinations more searching and
to establish much higher order of require
ments as a condition of promotion TO that
end new rules will be prescribed, but in
order that injustice shall not be done, all
officers shall be afforded ample time to
prepare themselves for the ordeal Rules
will not be applied until January ], 1888.

Queen Victoria's Good Sense and the
Cars Sound Judgment Pre-
L..E vented 1t.
The German Emperor Thought He
Would Strike Blow at
France.
But the Pacific Attitude of Two Great
Powers Caused Him to Change
His Fighting Idens.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 4.-The Berlin correspon-
dent of the Herald says: Had 1t not been
for the excellent common sense Of Queen
Victoria and the sound Judgment of the
czar, who in q moment Of emergency acted
in perfect accord. Europe would perhaps
this very moment be in tho throes Of war.
The facts are these: Last summer when
Emperor William WAS at Osborne he one
evening asked the queen to accord him a
confidential conversation upon a matter
Of the utmost Importance. The request was
accorded and the emperor said in
substances: "The situation in Germany
is iutolerable. 1t cannot last twelve
months longer. The country cannot bear
the present financial strain required to
keep the present fighting strength. Social
ism ID daily assuming terrible proportions.
Gernany's allies. especially Italy, are no
longer able to keep up the present pace.
The strain is too great on them. France
on the contrary is becoming stronger and
stronger, but France is isolated. It is abb
soluteiy necessary that Germany should
seize the first occasion to declare
war upon her. The latest moment to which
this can possibly be put off is the
spring of 1892" The queen re-
piled: "As long as I live l
firmly hope peace may be maintained. l
am now old, but still feel my last years
shall not be saddened by more blood flow
ing in Europe. The responsibility that
rests upon you is terrible one. II would
in my opinion be criminal for any sovereign
or statesman to attempt to precipitate
events. In any case what you have said
causes me great uneaBinesS."
Queen Victoria sent for Lord Salisbury
and pformed him of this strange converse
tion and desired him to talk with the en-
peror about it.. Lord Salisbury replied II
think if attempted tc discuss the ques.
tion, the emperor might cut matters short
by taking me by the shoulder and pushing
me ont of the Windows besides his majesty
might do exactly contrary to what l might
suggest. Their. is in my opinion only one
thing to do-write an autograph letter tc
the czar telling sAhim frankly what
has occurred, and urging him ir
| the interests of the peace o
Europe to lose no time in making friendly
advance toward France in order to convince
the emperor that Russia would not consen
to aaa France wantonly attacked. Thi.
would cause the emperor to reflect and IL
| my opinion this is the most effective way ol
preserving peace. 1t would be we'll if Eng
land should also simultaneously make ar
advance towards France"
The queen at once followed Salisbury'f
advice, with the result which is already {
| matter of history.
