| LONDON, Oct. 17.-Rt. Hon. Sir NJ. E
Grant-Dutf, president of the Royal geo
| graphical society, in an interview to-day or
| the subject of the so-called new aggression
| of Russia in the Pamir, said: There is ne
necessity for the scare that is being raised
about Prince Galitzsky and the explorer
Grombtchevsky ami their Cossacks on the
Pamir. In the first place the origin of the
travellers visit has been well known 10 this
society.
After Peiievalsky's lamented death the
Geographical society of St. Petersburg
very sensibly decided that the best method
of commencing one of the greatest explor-
ers of the century, wOult be to fill up the
gaps in his exploring tour and complete our
knowledge of Central Asian geography. A
scheme was carefully drawn up by the ex-
plorers belonging to the society, and ultl-
mately three series of expeditions, working
simultaneously along different lines, were
organized and dispatched in 1889. One was
under Col. Peolsoff, and worked mainly in
the South. toward Thibet The second, I'M
der the Brothers Groum Grishmailer. took
roughly the region running along the
Chinese border, while Grombtcheysky
worked along more westerly line. ALI
three returned to ST. Petersburg during
last year, read elaborate papers before the
Geographical society and spent few
months preparing their reports before
starting again.
There can be no doubt, therefore, about
the object of the expedition which has
brought Grombtchevsky and Galitzsky
onto the line of the Pamir and created so
much excitement in London. The curious
point about the whole matter is that. save
a summary on private letter from Capt
YoInghus band. published in a London even
ing paper (Which says not n word of an
neXation, and reports that the Russians had
recently left the Pamir), we have not soli-
tary scrap of substantial information. A
rumor from Calcutta is discussed and in
creased by alarn.ists in Vienna, and re-
ported as IA threatened Russian invasion Of
Pamir, the substance of which threat is
telegraphed to india and telegraphed home
as fact, and then the English press is all
ablaze with Russian aggression" and other
harsh phrases.
This is the normal cause of the Russian
scare. But Lord Salisbury quite well
knows what is going on and is disturbing
himself very little about it. What is
wanted is some arrangement by which the
large escort which the Russian explorers
carry on their work and with which they
excite alarm wherever they go, should
be reduced so that the expedition should
partake less of the appearance of military
invasion,

The Russian Loan.

The bankers Of this city who have the in
formation through Paris and ST. Peters
burg, utterly discredit the report re-
garding the success of the Russian
loan. Dispatches from St. Peters
burg received on the bourse here
state Russian applications are almost en-
tirely from the banks. At the Imperial
bank of St. Petersburg, which is open for
the reception OF subscriptions to the loan,
only five persons have applied, taking in all
only forty-four of the bonds.
French bull operators in Russian securi-
ties appeared on the house here to-day, but
finding that block of these securities Was
readily offered they ceased dealing, leaving
prices unchanged.

cities the comparatively newcomer can
tell you more about places of interest
to the visitor than the proverbial ''old-
est inhabitant." Our people are too apt
to think their surroundings uninter-
esting and long for foreign lands to ex-
plore, while they are ignorant of the
beauty and the instruction in the inter-
esting things at home, and never learn
the language OF the hills or plains by
which they are surrounded. The in
creasing hundreds who go to Europe
every summer and rave about French
politeness, German art, Roman an
tiquity and Alpine scenery remain
ignorant of the beauty OF our own lakes
and forests, while the grandeur of the
great West is sealed book to them.

SPORTING.
Bernau Wants Another chanc.

San ANTONIO, TEX. Oct. 17.-Atter a
great deal of parleying, J. W. Turner OF
Dallas and Professor Bernau OF San An.
tonic have signed articles for another
wrestling match, to take place
here during the first week OF
November. Under the conditions of the
coming match. Turner is to weigh lsO
pounds and Bernau LIS. the men to weigh
twenty-four hours before the match. The
style Of wrestling is to be catch as-catch-
can. best three in five falls for
$50 a side. In the previous match
which Turner won Bernau claimed that
his opponents greater weight caused his
defeat. In the coming match Turner will
have to reduce about ten pounds. It is
thought the men will be more evenly
matched. While thoroughly up in ali
styles of wrestling and very powerful
man, Bernan is the better in pugilism.
He issued some time ago challenge for a
fight to finish, Marquis of Queensbury

which the Duke of Bedford had blocked the

In Favor of Teace.

In the Socialist congress to-day at Erfurt
Herr Vollmar declared that his faction of
Socialists desired the continuance of peace,
and favored the triple alliance because its
object was peace. He spoke of Bebel's
Idea that democracy would be the gainer
through universal war as absurdlv opti-
mistic. He also warned Bebel that he was
melting war at home and abroad by con-
stantly speaking on the subject Vollmar's
speech was much applauded, and seemed to
make a decided impression upon the con-
gress, which was partially dissipated by
the replies of Herr Singer ard Herr Lie6-
knecht in refutation OF his theory.

MRS. THURMAN DEAD.
The Helpmate of Allen G. Thurman Passes
to tho Great Beyond-A Benevolent
Women-Judse Thurman Frustrated.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Oct l7.-N1rs. Thur
man, wife of Judge Allen G.. Thurman, died
at p. m.
The condition of Mrs. Thurman changed
for the worse last night. During most Of
the past week she had been in an uncon-
sclous state, rallying. occasionally. For
some tim. past there has been but little
hope entertained of her recovery. She was
victim of Ia grippe during the winter, and
never recovered from the attack, advanced
age preventing her from ever regaining her
accustomed strength. Mrs. Thurman was
universally loved. The great point in her
character was her remarkable benevolence.
She was continually caring for the sick and
needy, and was always found ready to con-
tribute to worthy cause. She never iden-
titled herself with any church, but was
church-going woman and always engaged
in charity work. Mrs. Thurman was
born in Chillicothe in 1911, and her
maiden name was Mary Dun. Her
father, Walter Dun, was a wealthy
While Mary was yet a young lady her father
moved to Lexington. Ky. Here she mar
ried Mr.. Thompkins, but he died after
few years, leaving one daughter, Nancy.
She was married to Judge Thurman in No
vembcr, 1874, aud has been his almost con-
slant companion and helpmate since, during
bis long professional and public career
Judge Thurman is much enfeebled and
broken down. and it is the opinion of those
who know him best and understand his
condition that he will not long survive her
death.
The only persons present at the death
scene of Mrs. Thurman were her husband,
Allen w. Thurman, Mrs. George McCor.
mick of New York, daughter, and Miss
Nina Thurman, Allen Thurman's oldest
daughter. Mr.. Argus Dunn of London,
Ohio, a nephew, had Just left
The residence and Allen w. returned
10 the room and found his mother
dying. She was unconscious and had been
in that condition for forty-eight hours. The
scene was an affecting one, but Judge Thur
man bore up much better than it was
thought he would. He was grateful that
his aged partner should be permitted to die
IN SO peaceful and painless manner. After
he last spark Of life had flown Judge
thurman consulted with those about him
il regard to the funeral arrangements. and
was concluded it should occur Tuesday
ext. and be requested that four of his
seiatives act as pall-bearers. Several pri-
rate kilograms of coincidence and sympatnR
we're received by the Judge and W.

Kinley bill, that there is not q section

that the criticism is no longer peril
nent, as the bill had been amended
since he uttered those words, and re-
ciprocity clause had been attached
Then it is not the Mckinley idea of
protection but the Blaine idea Of recip-
rocity that is embodied in that bill,
and the more reciprocity you get in it
the nearer it comes TO the Democratic
idea OF tariff for revenue only. Mr..
