Inspector Bsrnes and his Medal

The refusal by Inspector Byrnes, OF the
New York police force, of medal Of honor
conferred upon him by the monarch Of
Italy provokes the inquiry as to Byrpes'
reasons for such an act. 1t may gain for
him>a rather cheap sort of fame among q
certain class of Americans, but all sensible
people will agree that the acceptance Of such
an honor from a foreign Government as an
expression OF esteem, would not lower him q
hairs breadth in the estimation of his
countrymen, in fact it would have ten
dency to elevate him in their opinion.
However, if he chooses to refuse gift,
kindly offered from one who cannot hope to
be in the least benefited by it, it is his own
affair, as there Is nothing in the statutes to
prevent q man from being ridiculously
patriotic if he pleases.
While on the subject, it would not be
amiss to call attention to our country's utter
lack of some sort of recognition for those
who have distinguished themselves. In
every country of Europe there is reward
of some kind, be it decoration or medal,
but here there is nothing but the little
emblems representing certain societies, and
as these are bestowed as distinguishing
mark on every member of such organization
they 60 for nothing.

LONDON, March 14.-The Bonynee-
Mackay feud, which is so eminently calcu-
lated to enhance British respect for Amer
lean visitors, has been an interesting topic
in London since the pugilistic affair between
the heads of the two houses in the Nevada
Bank, An impetus to the discussion was
added this week by the publication in Lon
don Truth of letter written by Dawson
Dalziel, In which he denies Bonynge's asser-
tion that he (DalzieD "went down on his
knees" to Bonynre, when the latter threat
ened to send the former to prison for two
years, and in which DalEiel asserts that
Bonynge endeavored to induce him to print
libellous article about the Mackay family.
There is well-founded rumor that Bo-
nynge's solicitors have been instructed to
sue both Daiziel and Labouchere, the editor
of Truth, for libel, in writing and publish
ing this letter, while Maekay's solicitors
propose to make the statements contained in
the letter a basis for action against Bo-
nynge. 1t is said, however, that Mackay
has agreed to discontinue his suit against
Galignani's Messenger, of Paris, for pub
fishing the washerwoman story about Mrs.
Mackay, upon that journal making ample
apology.

The Arbitration League Laying Claim to

sY CABLE TO THE pIsPArcRA
LONDON, March i4.-The International
Arbitration League, which held its twenti-
eth annual meeting in London this week, is
suffering from q severe attack of swollen
head, caused by the success of its represen-
tations to President Cleveland and Presi-
dent Carnot in favor OF referring the Bering
Sea aud Newfoundland questions, respect
lively, to arbitration. The League has not
the slightest doubt that most of the
credit for both "peace victories"
is due to its efforts; hence its
present malady. 1t cannot be said that
arbitration upon the Bering dispute is re-
ceived with universal satisfaction here, an
uneasy, although underlined feeling pre-
vailing in some quarters that it may be in
proportion as disastrous for John Bulls
self-esteem as in the case of the Alabama
claims. The point to be submitted to arbi-
tration Is not in the opinion of many com-
petent judges the most important of the
many in dispute and France will keep the
Newfoundland question open so long as one
British soldier shall remain in Egypt

CHICAGO, March 14-The street car man.
agsrs Of Chicago are beginning to feel
alarmed over the increasing tendency of the
municipal legislature to impose taxes and
otherrsstrictionsu upon them. THE DISPATCH
has already referred to the pr ssent admin
istration's determined fight to enforce a con-
dition in all new ordinances for street rail-
way extensions, requiring the roads to make
a cash return of from s., 900 to 81, 800 per
mile for the franchises
To cap the climax Council COMMITTEES
has decided to report favorablv an ordinances
fixing the maximum rate of fare at cents.
The present Mayor has come boldly OUT in
favor Of any legislation Of this class, and.
if he should again be elected, the outlook
for street railway stockholders will be Just
q little blue.
One Councilman, after the meeting.
summed up the case In q word. Said he:
"If Wldener and Elkins can afford Scent
fare in Pittsburg, ss we hear they can, where
the population il only one-third that of
Chicago, surely they can afford Ii here
where the number of passengers is limited
only by the capacity of the trains and the
willingness of the company to carry them."
1t is quite within the range of probabili-
ties that the City Council will yet interfere
to cpt down street car fares to approximately
near the rates at which the great London
companies do business and pay large divi-
dends.

He would not say that Editor Stead, of the
Reuie,o Of Reuietos was merely q mouth
piece Of others high In authority, but sd-
mitted that it seemed queer that so intelli-
gent man should be swayed by such un-
governable prejudices as he has exhibited in
his persecution of both Parnell and Dixie.
Can it be possible that members of the En-
glish Government are instigating these at
tacks? 1t cannot be denied that it is much
to their interest to antagonizs Parnell,
whose growing strength some months since
was indeed cause for alarm, and it is almost
certain that the same body has not forgotten
the memorable scene in the House OF Com
mons in 1872. when Dixie offered the famous
resolution of inquiry into the expenses OF
the crown. Led by the Tories, the erstwhiIs
dignifed Chamber resolved itself into o
riot of colossal dimensions concerning
which the London Spectator said that the
Speaker failed of his duty in not arresting
all the members.

Facts About Color Photography.

It will bo we'll. for those interested In
color photography, the alleged discovery Of
which Is making SO much noise in the pub
lie prints of the day, not to place too much
confidence in the assertions of Lippman and
his associates until it is satisfactorily DEM
onstrated that the discovery is a practical
one. By this is meant one that can be put
into actual and permanent use. The repro
duction of colors on Photographic plates is
by no means new, but the fixing" of the
same would be. AS long ago as 1s4s, the
French scientist Berquerel, succeeded in
producing on silver plate, the image of
the seven colors OF the solar spectrum; but
they vanished on exposure to daylight.
Niepce, also produced. Photographic pictures
in blue. green and red through the medium
of salts of uranium, but they soon dissolved.
There is hardly doubt but color photo
graphy will be perfected some day, but,
there is no necessity for enthusiasm until the
fact Is proven beyond question.

would be rather out of the beaten track for
one of this family to do SO, as they have al
ways been extremely pretentious in their

The woman In the present case Is the
famous prima donna Of the Paris Opera
House. good looking brunette who up to
within few years since was an utterly un-
known quantity. She halls from Australia
and is the first native singer of prominence
that country has produced. Melba is en- as
sumed name, being something OF contrac-
ton OF Melbourne her birthplace. She was
originally named Nellie Mitchell, but gave
that up as q matter of course on her mar
riage, which took place early in life to
man named Armstrong, who died when she
was but q years OF age, leaving one child
On her hands. She then took up music as
means OF support, going to London and
sfterward to Paris, where she studied two
years and then made triumphant debut in
Brussels in "Rigoletta." Since that time
she has been q reigning tavorite at the
French capital. All of which is quite
record for e woman who is yet under 26
years.

1t is the theory of the police that Albin,
proclalming his fancied wrongs to his rela-
tives, had enlisted enough of them in his
service to pour forth the fatal volley. He
probably regarded it as an unfortunate cir
cumstance that the tickle Natalie was not

in Paris. No arrests have yet been made.

HINDoo ToURIsTk
Unique Travelling Party That VIII Visit
This Country.

This Country.
1r pUNLAP's CABLE CoMrANY,l
LONDON, March IA UNIQUE project
has just been organized at Allahabad and
Calcutta, which Is nothing less than the
formation of party of Hindoo tourists, who
are seized with strong desire to travel and
visit the chief cities of Europe, America,
China and Japan, the civilization of which
is 80 markedly in contrast with that which
obtains in their native India. Several
Hindoo noblemen and gentlemen have
been invited to Join the party, which will
be entirely under native management and
will travel in the Hindoo style. This means
attention to the caste system, which is q
most potent factor in the national life, and
which imposes restrictions in respect to the
food which its members may eat, as we'll as
to the water they may drink, which may be
compared to those observed by orthodox
Hebrews.
The difficulties, therefore, which the d.
rectors of the novel travelling party have to
overcome will be practically innumerable,
and may perhaps be increased bv the strange
ness of the conditions they impose upon
themselves.

THE sUEvIA's CLOSE CALL
The Hamburg-American Liner Arrives
Safely in Port at Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, March IA. - The Ham
burg American Line steamer Suevia,
arrived here safely at TAO o'clock
this morning. The Suevia left New York
February 26, for Hamburg, and when near
Star Point, Monday, her low pressure con-
densing engine valve broke down and ever
since she has been drifting about the chan
mel until found by the search boats.
As soon as possible after the accident the
-Suevia was headed southwark, with her
lower top-sail set. She is brig-rigged, and
owing to the force of the gale she got good
steerage way upon her. everything con-
sidered. Under this sail the Suevia drifted
westward and eventually got out of the
channel, at the height of the gale. Under
this sail and heading westward the SueYia
continued until yesterday afternoon, when
her engineers managed to disconnect the
smashed cylinder and arranged so as to be
able to place her under steam with one
cylinder. She finally reached Plymouth
without assistance,

for If they did not, how would they keep
themselves abreast of all the latest fads Of

should mark the beginnings of sentences
and proper names. But what are pro-

tinction as to capitals or small letters.

tion Of raising exceptionally fine breeds OF
sheep, have developed the finest horses in
the Russian Empire. They have been the
owners Of many sugar mills, cloth factories
and manufactures of various kinds and con-
Quoted considerable trade in corn, cattle,
wool, cloth, linen, timber, honey, etc. 1t is
for this reason the Russian Government has
been very anxious to stay their flight from
the country, but the migratory impulse
which that Government itself instigated for
other purposes has become so strong that
the people of the districts named are stream,
ing over the borders in all directions, head
ing eventually to the United States and
