GLADSTONE ADVISES ITALY.

He Does Not Like Alliances Because
They Do Not Mean Peace.
NAPLES, Aug. 21.-The Cou1iere di
NapoH publishes letter alleged to have
been written by Gladstone to Signor
Schilizzi, editor of the COaerdere, in which
the writer deplores, as a friend of Italy,
her enormous military expenditures and
embarrassing alliances, and after express
ing the hope that Italy will abandon her
African policy, says:
81 cannot like triple or double alliances
because the ultimate design and scope of
these alliances is not peaceful. The
strength of a nation consists ultimately
in economy in its forces. / fear the fu-
ture of Europe is a very dark one, al
though with Gods help the present
peaceful situation may still last for some
tilne."
The letter is dated at Hawarden prior
to the general elections.

She Was Cool.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The Globe reports
an incident that occurred to- day TO the
Queen while. she was driving near Os-
borne House.
AS the royal carriage was proceeding
along the road a man making violent
gestures advanced toward it. The car
riage was stopped and the man APP
preached the Queen. He told her he was
foreign Count and that he and many
others had sworn that if the Queen did
not resign they would kill her.
Her majesty listened in silence to the
wild harangue, never once betraying
nervousness. She and the attendants
saw that the man was mentally unbal-
anced, and though she did not know but
that he would attempt to suit his actions
to his words she retained her presence of
mind and gazed calmly at him, never ut
tering word.
One of her attendants dismounted and
quietly talking to the man removed him
from her majesty's presence. He was
handed over to a constable and lodged in
Jail. There is no doubt that he is insane.

Emperor William :and CaprIvi Split on
the Military Bill.
BERLIN, Aug. 21.-The Emperor's
declaration that the Government did not
intend to adopt the proposal for two
years military service instead of three
is not considered in official circles to in
volve the immediate retirement of Won
Caprivi. The Progressist and National
Liberal press insist that the Chancellor
ought and must resign.
1t is an open secret that the Emperor
has set his face against the main propos-
ais OF the Chancellor's military bill.
Count Won Waldersee agreed with the
Emperor, while most of the other mill
tary officials sided with the Chancellor in
favor of the shorter service. In conse-
quence OF the disagreement no great army
bill will be placed before the Reichstag
at the coming session.
Another result OF the imperial declara-
ton will be regrouping of parties.
Prince Bismarck has adopted the two
years principle. Every party except the
extreme Conservatives supports the short
term which will be the main question at
the next election.

GROWTH OF TELEPHONE BUSINESS
Even the Companies Figures Show
Tremendous Increase of Profits

Tremendous Increase of Profits.
The enormous increase in the demand
for telephone service ill the United States
is shown by bulletin from the Census
Department in the series of statistics of
manufactures. In the census year 1879
1880 the telephone business passed
through the stages of an extraordinary
development, springing at single bound
from almost nothing TO one of the most
important interests in the country, but
the Omaha Bee says that before the statis-
tics for that year We're complied it had
become quite extensive and important.
IN 1850 the number OF companies, firms
and persons engaged in the business OF
providing the people with telephone IA
cllities was las, but in 1890 the number
was only %, showing the results OF alb
sorption of the weaker by the stronger.
In the meantime the amount invested in
creased S0I, 1893 ana the number of
telephones and tranSmitters increased
1885, lS. The number of subscribers in
1880 was 81 1851, an increase OF 1888 in
ten years. The total number of CONVEX
ssiiioas reported in the same year was
ASS, 200, COO The total number of miles of
wire in so was 40, Alp, an increase OF
60OS1 per cent over 1880. The total num-
Der OF employees OF telephone companies
in 1890 was S,645, nearly three times as
many as in 1880.
The most interesting statistics relating
to the telephone business are those which
have to do with the profits. The total in
terest bearing and profit sharing invest
ments amounted in 1880 TO 81 A ,736.
The gross earnings were Sic, 4O4. 5S3. the
net earnings $500, III, the aggregate div
idends Ssl6S, 20S and the surplus s.. 992.-
SOL. Theper cent. of net earnings on the
total Investment is IA. How far these
figures, Which are, OF course. given by
the com panies themselves, are worthy OF
contideIlce, cannot be conjectured. 1t
has beeil supposed by most people that
the profits of the telephone companies
were mich larger than they are here
shownio be, though it does not appear
that they are Insignificant by any means.

Irish Unionists have formed sort of
vigilance committee, with headquarters

by any stretch of the Imagination be con-
strued or made to appear as outrageous
The so-called outrages will be collected,
and at regular intervals the matter will
be brought up in the House of Commons
in the shape of an interpolation addressed
TO the Chief Secretary for Ireland (Mr.
Morley, asking him to explain how
such terrible state of society can last in

JACKSON (Mich.), Aug. 2l.-Woodville,
three miles west of this city, is in danger
of sinking bodily into the earth, and the
inhabitants are greatly alarmed.
About ten days ago the Standard Coal

while the undermined section is probably
half mile square; besides this, there are

MARTINsBURG CIV. Va.). Aug. PA
tragedy occurred yesterday morning, the
result of a negro's too literal translation
of his instructions. G. P. Evans, the
owner of fine lawn and residence near
where the circus-tent of the Harris
Nickel-plate combination had been
pitched, stationed negro named Whey
near the lawn and gave him instructions
to shoot down the first person who at
tempted to walk across his property.
Tue negro faithfully obeyed the order,
for when an attache of the circus, white
man, name not given, started to make a
short cut across the lawn, Whey deliber-
ately fired and shot him dead. The
other employees of the circus, learning
why Whey did this deed, sought out
Evans and, throwing rope around his
neck, started to lynch him. Harris,
their employer, finally prevented them
from hanging him. and both Evans and
Whey are now in Jail.

The blocade has been the greatest since
