Last evening 1oTlOrn, detected

saloon rather forcibly, for the keeper
helped Kim along. and sat down on
the raised platform in front. He sat
there long time with his head in his
hands. Finally an acquaintance hap
pened along, spoke to BIN and asked
if he would walk home.

He stood with foot on the threshold,
And a cloud on his boyish face.
While his city comrade urged him
TO enter the gorgeous place.
There's nothing to fear. old fellow!
1t isn't lions den;
Here waits you royal welcome
From the lips of the bravest men.

That sought in the old, old way,
To lure with lying promise
The innocent feet astray

To see how you stare and shrink.

It's only game and drink
He heard the words with a shudder-
It's only game aud a drink
And his lips made bold TO answer:
''But what would my mother think"
The name that his heart held dearest
Had started a secret spring,
And forth from the willy temper,
He fled like hunted thing.
Away! III the glare Of the city
And its gilded halls of sin
Are shut from his sense and vision,
The shadows Of night within.
Away, till his fee5 have bounded
Ger fields where his childhood trod;
Away in the name of virtue,
And the strength of his mothers Godl
What though he was branded coward
In the blazoned halls Of vice,
And banned by his batiled temper,
Who sullenly tossed the dicel
on the page where the angel keepeth
The record of deeds well done,
That night was the story written
Ola glorious battle won.
And he stood by his home in the starlight
All guiltless Of sword and shield
A Drawer and nobler victor
Than the hero Of bloodiest field.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN POLITICS.
Germany Disappointed at Not Drawing
Switzerland Into an Alliance.

Germany Disappointed at Not Drawing
Switzerland Into an Alliance.
LONDON, August 1S.-The failure Of negotia-
tons with Switzerland for commercial league
with Austria and Germany has produced much
disappointment in Berlin, where it is felt that
the failure is due to the evident determination
of the majority Of the Swiss to maintain "A
neutral position in the existing differences and
coming wars of Europe. The proposition
from the first impressed the people Of
Switzerland unfavorably. They have a
traditional repugnance to close alliance
fear the power Of Germany. France, too. has
many friends among the Swiss, and all these
stood ont against a commercial union with the
two great German powers. The Swiss federal
government has got out of the matter as easily
as possible, conscious that referendum would
result in defeat OF the proposition and discredit
OF the government supporting il. II is ex-
pected that Austria and Germany will now con-
nne themselves to confirming aud arranging
the details of their mutual agreement. Hun
garYhas an abundant harvest and will be able
TO spare large Quantities OF grain for use in
Germany as soon as the treaty between the two
countries comes into operation.
A vienna dispatch says that some spprehen-
sion Is felt there among high military officials
over the recent evidence that Russia has more
than double the number of cavalry possessed
by Austria. Russia can furnish and muster
7S2 squadrons, while Austria Hungary can
muster only 341 squadrons. Russia continues
to keep large force of cavalry and infantry
near the Austrian frontier, as if preparing for
o sudden invasion. This disturbs the Cali
clan Poles, who greatly prefer the rule of Aus
tria to that Of Russia and who are among the
best soldiers in the Austrian army.

An Important Suit Begun Against the Go
gebic Development Company.

An Important Suit Begun Against the Go
gebic Development Company.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, August 1s.-An important
suit, involving several million dollars has been
begun in the circuit court Of the United States
for the western district of Wisconsin by the
American Loan and Trust Company against
the Gogebic Development Company. In 1887
the defendant executed to the plaintiff
a trust deed on large amount Of
valuable mining property owned by it in
Ashland county to secure the payment
of 1000 of its bonds of $1,000 each,
amounting in all to $4,000, 900. This mortgage
provided for the payment Of six per cent in
teress semi-annuaiiy and the principal in 1907,
and also in case of default for six months in
the payment Of any installment and on de-
mand of the owners of the bonds to the amount
OF at least 100000 the mortgage should de-
clare the whole amount Of principal ard inter-
est due and payable and proceed to foreciose.
The complainant alleges that the defendant
sold the whole &, 000, 600 of bonds a. par and
that there has been such default and demand.
The answer admits the execution OF the bond
and mortgage, and that 500 Of the bonds,
amounting to S500,000, were sold and nsgo-
tiated by defendant, but denies that the rest of
the bonds were sold. The latter, il alleges.
were wrongfully and fraudulently parceled out
by the former officers of the company without
any value being paid therefor, and that the
present owners OF them had full knowledge of
such fraud

THEY WANT RELIEF.
| Virginia Farmers Want the Subtreasury
Scheme or Something Better.

Virginia Farmers Want the Subtreasury
Scheme or Something Better.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va, August 1s.-The state ALI.
ance convention, the action Of which will have
decided importance in determining political
issues in Virginia this fall, assembled at noon
today in the old state house building here.
The body is composed Of about ninety-eght
delegates, representing each of the 100 counties
posed OF Virginia's most intelligent and best
representative farmers. and, with few excep-
tons, men who dig livelihood out Of the soil
OF this state.
FAEs SILVER AND A suBrREAsURY.
Despite the fact that tho leaders claim that
politics are not Gin it, but little is heard about
the corridors Of the hotels but questions and
issues with which political matters are closely
allied. The universal sentiment Of tho MEM
bers OF the convention is for On unlimited
coinage OF silver and subtreasury plan-not a
particular measure, but one which will afford
the agriculturists the relief that that sort OF
scheme promises.
ToDAYs PROCEEDINGS.
The feature of today's proceedings was the
annual address of President Mann Page of
Prince George, which is named "the presi-
dents message" In that paper President Page
says that the farmers have been forced to band
together Cor offense and defense against the
combines and trusts. Those who ridicule their
efforts, he says, offer them no remedy. He
then reviewed the financial situation of the
country. The chief cause Of the present trou-
bic he finds to be in the present banking sys-
tenn.
The address defended the subtreasury PLAN
In presenting this plan to Congress, the presi-
dent says, I'VE do not ask for a bounty, but for
loan thoroughly protected by the deposit Of
our produce, nor do we demand the adoption
OF this measure. What we ask for is something
better"
Touching the first attitude Of Congress, the
alliance executive adds: ''If the incoming Con-
gress win not grant financial relief let US see
that their places be filed in 1892 by those who
Will enact laws for the protection Of the agri-
cultural producer and laborer."
An appeal was made for the members of the
order to stand together in sustaining the de-
mands of the Ocala Supreme Council. In an
swer to the query as to what party the alliance
belongs, the address says: Il answer we are
not political party. We have a platform OF
principles to which We invite the aid and
cooperation of all. And the time has
arrived when our interests demand that we
should do our best to induce political parties of
which we are members to assist us. Yet we
agree not to subordinate the obligations we
have assumed to the dictates Of those who pre-
fer party principle"

THE MARKETS QUIETER.
Fluctuations on the Chicago Board in Mar
row Limits.

Fluctuations on the Chicago Board in Mar
row Limits.
CHICAGO August 1s.-After 10 o'clock the
markets became quieter with fluctuations con-
fined to narrower limits. The first half
hour having demonstrated that the wild
scenes of the past few days were not likely to
be repeated, traders breathed sigh of relief
and allowed matters to drift into their accus-
toned quiet rut. Brokers were not anxious
to secure new business until the
uncertainty growing out of the furry should
have passed away. This was confidently looked
for especially in view of the fact that there had
been no failures as the result of the wide huc-
tuations of yesterday.
After the first hour the wheat pit became
partially deserted and the trading was of a
rather slow character. After 10 o clock Deem
Der fiuctuated between 1929 and 1O3, until a
few minutes before IL o'clock, when a
saying that Russia would probably extend the
export prohibition to wheat well ms rye.
This renewed the excitement. Brokers rushed
into the pit and inside OF two minutes the price
At IL o'clock il was 1041l and the market was
quiet again. Corn was still quieter than wheat,
September fuctuatiug between 691l and 63$,
with no takers.
The Russian Rye Ukase.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 1s.-It is known that
the imperial ukase prohibiting the expectation
of rye, which caused SO much excitement
in the markets of the world, was not
only at first opposed by the car, but it
was also greeted with opposition in various
other quarters. In the form this measure was
first approved by the council Of the empire the
restrictions had even q wider scope. The car
rejected this first measure but finally agreed
to put in force measure combining the
prohibition to rye grain and rye meal Flour
and bran are in other words the products
actually consumed by the Russian peasant and
by Russian cattle
The statement that the imperia: measure IL q
political one is absolutely untrue.
The Prospects in England.
LONDON, August 1S.-The Times today refers
to the encouraging prospects ahead Of the
English farmer, saying that given good weather
for fortnight the wheat crop of Great Britain
will be good average one.
The Times in the same issue, predicting the
effects Of the imperial ukase relating to the ex-
port Of rye, says that ii is estimated that the
central Europe purchases will be equivalent to
eight million quarters Of rye in wheat, corn
and potatoes. The chief gamers, the Times
says, will be the United States, though England
and India will have their share.
