New YORK, Sept. 4.-Fortv-three
Hebrew immigrants who were pers uaded
to leave this city and Philadelphia to try
farming under government supervision
near Maranham, Brazil, returned to this
port today, much Disguised. on the steam
ship Alliance. One OF them, Jacob Sill
yer OF Philadelphia, said that when the
party, of which he was a member, left the
city for Maranham, they believed that
they were going to get ten and a halt
acres OF land, a house, two horses, a yoke
OF oxen and Sl5 a month. They thought
this was too good to be true, and Silver
went to the Brazilian consul at Philadel-
phia and inquired about it. Silver says
hat the consul declared that the govern
e had offered even greater induce
ments to settlers. Silver came here then
and was informed by the Brazilian con-
sui, he says, that the roseate expectations
OF the Hebrew farmers would be realized.
The party then sailed for Maranham.
They say they were lodged in shanties for
two months, did not get their horses and
oxen, and found that the land to which
they we're taken was rough and unfit for
cultivation.
A government official visited their
colony during the first month they were
there, gave them $40 each and told them
they would be required to work fifteen
days for the government for hat and they
might spend the other half of the month
in cultivating their farms. They marched
in a body to Maranham, fifteen miles
away, and protested against this arrange
ment. The governor OF Maranham or
dered out the militia and escorted them
back to their farms. They received only
IS IN July and they marched to Maran-
ham again. This time the immigrants
declared they would not return to their
barren farms and they were all put in
prison. They we're there ten DAYS when
the newspapers OF Maranham called at
tention to their suffering and the injustice
Of their treatment. The governor re-
leased them and wrote the commissioner
OF agriculture asking whether he should
fulfil the promises made TO them or send
them back to America. The commissioner
advised the governor to adopt the latter
course and they were shipped on the AL
lance.

The Temple of the Revolution.

Not every one will understand what is
meant by the locating of the site of the
Temple of the Revolution at Newbure
on the Hudson. When the American
army was cautioned near Newburg in
1888 there was deep discomfort among
both officers and men because they could
not get their pay. On March II, 1888,
a circular vas secretly distributed in or
der to bring about a somewhat seditious
meeting at what was called a temple, a
little log building newly erected there.
General Gates was thought to be at the
bottom of the movement, by which it
was intended that the army should
arouse the fears of congress and the peo-
pie and thus get better treatment. The
meeting was fully attended, and Wash
ington made al address SO patriotic and
firm in behalf of patience and loyalty
that the result was a series of resolutions
promising all that Washington had
counseled.- New York Sun.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4-The Norwegian
steamer Alert arrived this morning from
Haytian ports, and reports that a climax
in Hayti's disturbed affairs will undoubt-
edlv be reached soon, The news of the
return to the Haytian capital of the exiles
from Kingston, Jamaica, Is being indus
%triously circulated in other large cities Of
the republic, and the forts guarding sew
eral of the seaport cities are strongly gar
risoned. Ii is asserted that orders have
beeen issued by Hyppolite that if the ex-
lies returned to the city and made a sue
cesstul attack on the palace the guns were
to be turned on the city, So strong is the
belief that a revolution will o break
out that many foreign residents have
moved out of Port-au- Prince or are send
ing their families away. On the day of
the Alert departure Hypuolite's family
was leaving Port-au-P Prince Tor Cape
Hayti. Hyppolite is said to have lost
confidence in the strength of his soldiers,
and is preparing to f3llow his family to
Cape HaytIat the first approach of the in
surrectionIsts. From whatca be learned
of the insurrectionists they are still at
Kingston, actively PREPARING, it is said,
to leave that place to make a descent
on the Haytian capital.

Chicago chat.

CHICAGO. Sept. 4.-Gen. Alger OIL
Michigan, in an interview here today,
said be never told anyone that he would,
or would not, be a candidate for the presi,
dental nomination before the Republican
national convention. lie did not tell the
Grand Army men, or any one else, that
he would not be a candidate and was for
Blaine. Regarding Blaine's nomination,
he says, as he said before, that it depends
on the secretary himself. If Blaine
wants 1t, he can have it. Gen. Alger saw
Blaine at Bar Harbor three weeks ago
and yet today knows no more about his
wishes, he SAID, than the reporter who
was questioning him.
Fourteen more Jewish refugees arrived
here today from RUSS. and tell heart
rendlng tales OF cruelty. Among them is
Lieut., Skom, an officer in the Russian
army and the possessor of = medal given
him for bravery. Even he could not es-
cape the edict of expulsion. Ivan Ban
itzkoff. the father of six children, was
compelled to dispose of an estate worth
65. 900 roubles for 1000 roubles. He
was forcibly elected from Moscow aud
compelled to wander about all night with
his wife, who was raving in a delirium of
fever.
General Freight Agent Shelby of the
Great Northern road, who is in the city,
says that the reports that the wheat crop
of North and South Dakota has been Sc
riously damaged is entirely without foun-
dation, and must have been ~concocted by
parties having selfish interests to serve.
He declares the crop out of danger and
that the railroads will have more business
than they can handle.

The members of a family in Washing
ton, D. c., which includes two physi-
clans, lose the color of their hair usually
between the ages of twelve and twenty
years; while Mrs. Sally Davis, of Ken
lucky, is cited by DR.. q. H. Leonard, an
authority on the hair, as possessing soft,
brown, silky locks without a silver
thread among them when over seventy
years of age.
That hair usually becomes gray as we
advance in years is true, but the active
causes for this change must evidently
lie in the organism itself or in the condi-
tons to which it is subjected, and not in
the mere fact of increasing years.

Copyrighted, 1891 by N. Y. Associated Press,
LONDON, Sept. 4.-The semi-oficlal
statement which the porte issued yester-
day in regard to the agreement with
Russia touching the passage of the
Russian volunteer feet through the
Dardenells is quickening the British
foreign Office in its efforts to obtain con-
certed action on the part of the treaty
powers in demanding a full explanation
from the porte. A high official, who was
recently of the opinion that the Moscow
incident would not affect existing
relations between Great Britain and
Turkey. now takes the view that
the Russo-Turkish agreement will
make necessary an early demonstra-
ton on the part OF Great Britain, eyen if
she has to act alone. The porte's statement
is evidently intended to cover Turkeys
responsibility in the event OF expected
combined representation by the powers.
Lord S~alisbury's position, as it is under.
stood to have been communicated to the
powers, IS that the Russo-Turkish agree
ment is an evasion of the treaty of Paris.
Turkey could not assent TO an open and
fragrant violation of the treaty by giving
Russia the right to send warshIps through
the straits, but she makes concessions
tantamount to the same privilege in per-
uniting the passage through the Darde-
nelles of the volunteer feet equipped with
guns and filed with soldiers.

views. with a number of bankers and
prominent Wall street men, including C,

The secretary said to a reporter that his

starts tomorrow on a fishing trip. This
evening President Cannon of the Chase
National bank SAID the secretary had ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with the
situation. He would have been glad to
have had the banks take out more circu-
iatiou, but as they declined to do so he
was well satisfied to pay out the money
for the redemption of the AIS, as he did
not think there ever had been a time
when the money uld do more good to
the country than at present.
