The star of peace YVES in the
ascenGency at tie capital yesterday.
There is no tangible reason for the
waxi OF the pacifc view of the
Chilean situation, and the waning of
the wariike talk which he's been in
dll9ed il during the last few days by
many congressman. Nevertheless
there is widespread conviction that
war Is not necessary outcome OF the
present complications between the
United States and Chile, although
there is also general belief that the
good temper and fori,ea;'ance of this
county are being sorely tried by the
exasoe. a5ing representation of the
Chilean Government in its cores
pondence.
A Pacific Coast Senator te-sely
summed up t,e views o. many of his
colleagues when he said: 'sThere
will De no war. Chile deserves a
spcnkiag, but the United States can
not afford 80 sacrifice her dignity and
play schoolmsrm, unless it is abso-
lutely necessary, and it is not. Our
Govern aens las 2lopted such quieS,
dig lified tone a its correspondence,
and has waited the pleasure of the
Chileans in the conclusion OF their
hair-splitting, equivocating inquiry
with SO much patience the little
South American nation has grown
presumptuous. But they at last have
CO ne to realize the fact that the
dignity of this country is not to be
trifled with, and when the Presidents
ultimatum is sent in they will come
down tom their lofty position and
make due reparation."
There was decided diminution in
the war talk around the Navy Depart
ment and a more peaceful state of
affairs preva led, but there is no less
activity in the Navigation B,-eau in
the preparation and translation of
cipher dispatches. Though the
peaceful rumo,'s have very general
effect, many naval officers refuse TO
place entire c-edence in them, al
legiag that Gale is making show Of
relens.og in order to gain time for
her own preparations.
A very accurate index of the pop
ular sentiment is obtained through
the letters that pour in upon Secre-
tary Tracy from all parts oil the coun-
try; whereas ten days ago these in
dicated the development of decided
war spirit, there seems to have been
a change in their tone, and there is a
growing tendency to urge the Secre-
tary to concilatory course. 1t is
quite apparent Congress will not be
enlightened on the Chilean contro-
versy for at least two or three days.
No date is fixed for the submission of
the message and documents.
The New York Herald's Valparaiso
correspondent cables as follows: 1
can state positively that President
Mont yesterday told an official high
in the Chilean service that there was
not the slightest doubt but that all
matters at present in dispute between
the United States and Chile would
be amicably settled within short
time.
1t is deliberate falsehooh that the
Yorktown was fred upon.

some paragraphs they do not think the peo-
pie ought to read. Anyone, however, who
can show that he is all right can get any
book or paper he wants by making an appli-

the second course. This was chicken of
the size of pigeon, and following this came
a beefsteak and potatoes All of these were
good, but I could not make out what to do

From q Garden to a Waste.
Leaving the frontier of Germany you see
the moment you cross the line that you are
in a new country. You have left land of
stone. You are now in land of wood.
Instead of stone cottages, whitewashed and
rooted with red tile, you have wooden
houses not unlike those of our western
towns, and here and there you see log
cabins that would not be out of place on our
frontier. The,northern part of Germany is
a garden. North Russia is a swamp, a
forest, waste. You ride for miles through
pine forests that look like those of Min
nesota or northern Wisconsin, and you have
to look at the queer costumes of the people
before you can realize you are in autocratic
Russia and in the wilds of the Gar.
Here, however, you make no mistakes.
That long g-coated guard at the station, with
his pants in his boots, his sword at his side
and his revolver in a leather case on his
right hip, is one OF the famous Russian
police, and those fat-taced, high-cheek
boned, rosy-cheeked peasants in caps and
sheepskin coats are Russian peasants. At
every cross road you see Russian girl
standing holding up flag as the train goes
by, and queer carts and wagons with great
yokes rising high above the heads OF the
horses stand about the depots. The pas
sengers of the trains are almost pure Rus

CHAPTER XIV.
rur cTeTERS

Two DAYS after her arrival in town Miriam
herself posted the letter she had written ad-
dressed to the soldier Dare at Newborough-
on-the-Sea. And she had some little diff
Guilty in doing this, for she was conscious
that her mother watched her closely. Still
she found her opportunity, and after the
letter was gone she felt with sorrowful
heart that she could do no more. In the
meanwhile Mrs. Clyde was going on actively
with her preparations for the marriage.
Then Sir James Joined them in town, and
he naturally was constantly with Miriam,
and so the days gI1ded away until it wanted
but three to the one on which Miriam had
promised to become Sir James wife.
On this day-the third before the mar
riage-General Conray and his wife arrived
in town to be present at the ceremony. The
sisters-Joan and Miriam-had not met for
long, and they met now with deep though
suppressed emotion. They clasped each
others hands, they kissed each other, and
in both their dark eyes there was troubled
look of secret meaning. There was an ex-
traordinary likeness between them, and this
struck their mother more vividly than usual.
'How like you two are?' she exclaimed,
looking at her daughters as they stood to-
gether. II declare you grow more like each
other every year.
eyes, there is great likeness between
them, certainly" said General Conray, who
was present at this meeting, but neither
Joan nor Miriam spoke; they just glanced
at each other a moment and that was all.
Presently the General went out, and Mrs.
Clyde was called away; and the sisters were

am told here that but few Americans
have trouble at the Custom House in Russia,
and some are said to have even gotten
through without passports The officials,
however, have a pretty good list of sus-
picious characters, and such a woman as
Mrs. Creamer the Polish nihilist, would
not have been allowed to come into Russia
even if she had been sent by the order Of
the Red Cross, as believe she pretended,
and George Kennan would hardly be al
lowed to visit the country.
Papers With Paragraphs Blocked Out.
Speaking of Mr.. KEENAN,, his books are
not sold in Russia, and at the Custom House
all trunks are examined and only certain
books are allowed to come in. The admis-
sion of books is harder to accomplish than
the admission of men, and all newspapers
are given up. Russian public opinion is
carefully watched and the mails are exam
ined as carefully as the trunks. All papers
are looked over, and those on file at the
hotel here are spotted with great black

few striking scenes.
The Hebrew Exodus to America.
Poland itself is about as big as the State
of New York, and the part passed through
was OF about the same character as North
ern New York about Chautauqua Lake
1t is the land of the emigrsting Russian
Hebrew, and the most of those pauper He
brews who are now coming to America from
Russia come from Poland. They are of
far lower class than any Hebrews we have
ever had, and they are bv no means popular
here. OF all Poland 13 per cent of the
people are Hebrews, and you find Hebrew
colonies in all the large cities of Russia.
They generally have quarter and a market
of their own, and they are sharper than
the Russian in their dealings and take ad-
vantage of his simplicity, his extravaganza
and his happy-go-lucky way of life. The
result is that soon after q Polish Hebrew
settles in a Russian town he has mortgage
on half the property belonging to it, and
the simple peasant cannot understand that
he got this, to certain extent,
legitimately. This is, 1 am told, in
great measure the cause of the unpopu-
larity of the Hebrews in Russia and the rea-
son for their expulsion from the country
There is a law in Russia that Hebrew, un-
less'he be an artisan, may be returned to the
place where he was born in case he has re-
moved from it and has become obnoxious to
any of the people of his new home Our
Consul General at St Petersburg tells me
the Hebrews who have gone to America
have not been expelled from Russia, but
have been ordered by the Government back
to Poland or to the other Russian places of
their nativity. America they look upon as
the land of gold for all, and instead of going
back from whence they came they 60 on
through and sail for the United States.
The Russian Is still Barbaroux.
The Gar is a genuine Russian, with a
great love for his own people, and in this
way he protects them. As to the cruelt1es
OF the officials, there is probably much that
is true in the stories to that effect, for the
Russian is still half barbarous and his ideas
of punishment are more cruel than ours
wish could give you stereopticon view of
ST. Petersburg. 1t is one of the queerest,
one of the fastest, one of the gayest, and bv
ell odds one of the most unique capitals Of
the world. Lying as it does on the
great Gulf of Finland, river as
wide as the Mississippi at St. Louis
runs through it, and great canals cut it up
so that it looks like second Venice, It IL
city OF wide streets, of big three, four and
hve-story flats; of vast palaces, many of
which cover acres; OF multitude of gor-
geous churches, of great schools, of art gal
leries, of factories and the thousand and |
one other features which make up the
capital OF the greatest empire on the globe. |

days journey to 60 through some of these
palaces The winter palace, on the banks
of the Neva, would spoil the area of ten
acre field, and its corridors if stretched out
would reach miles
The finest street of St. Petersburg is the
Nevski prospect. which runs from the river
at the Navy Department or Admiralty
buildings back through the city. This
street is over three miles long in a straight
line, and it is walled with magnificent
stores 1t is paved with cobblestones, flags
and wooden blocks. The pavements or side
walks are of f1agstonea The center of the
street, where the double deckers of street
cars 90, is Of cobblestones, and on either
side of this there is a wide strip of wood for
driving. The wooden pavement is made of
octagonal blocks Of pine about six inches
thick and five inches in diameter set fiat on
base of planks, which rest on great logs
sunken into the street. These blocks are
cemeDted together with pitch and they
make driveway equal almost to dirt
road.
A Great Placc for Driving.
1 have been in all the great capitals of
the world from Paris to Pekin and 1 have
nowhere seen such horses and such driving
as in St Petersburg. Every other man owns
a fast team and all drive as though the
devil was after them. A great many of the
horses are of the Orloff breed, big, tall, we'll
made blacks, all of. whom are high steppers
They have a touch of Arabian blood in
them and they are trained so that they step
in time and go very fast. I have been
in ST. Petersburg over week and have
not seen horse walk yet, and one of the
exciting incidents of life here is the narrow
escapes which you seem to be constantly
making whenever you 60 out to drive.
The droschkies are among the most COM
Portable rigs 1 have ever ridden in. If you
could put Japanese jinriksha on four
wheels, put seat in front of it and harness
horse instead OF a man to it you would
have something like q ST. Petersburg
droschky. Or if you would cut down q
victoria to half size, make the wheels no
bigger than those of baby carriage and
put the bed of the rig about a foot from the
ground you would have the body of the
best sort of droschky. If you wish the
poorer class you must take off the back aud
tou have q fair sample of the 25, 600 cabs
which fly day and night along these
Russian streets. The droHhky horses are
quite as curious as the vehiclas they pull
and their drivers are equally strange. The
horses seem to be harnessed with thongs,
and you could cut the whole outfit out of q
pair of Russian top boots There sre no
tugs and no 'cruppers, and tho droschky
shafts are tied to yoke which goes around
the horses neck and over which stands q
great wooden bow two feet high, to which
the bride is fastened, refining the horse
well up. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

A CURIOUS RAILWAY RELIC

Specimen OF the First Passenger Ticket In
Use on tho Railroads.
Chicago Times.1
Among various trophies secured by
Chief Smith of the transportation depart
ment during his recent visit to Europe is q
small brass pocket piece resembling an ordi-
nary baggage check, which is worth great
deal more than its weight in gold It is of
octagon shape and on one side is stamped
the inscription 'eL. & S. Railway" bag
worth, No. g." On the opposite side the
number is repeated. This fortunately pre-
served relic represents the kind and form of
tickets in use in 1882 for "open-carriase pas
sengers" on the Leicester and Swannington
Railway.
The distance covered BY the main line was
tri1e over 16 miles, and the passenger
fares charged were ~ pence per mile.
There was one class only, and passengers
stood up In an open carriage, generally
known as . tub, which was nothing better
than high-sided goods wagon, having no
top, no seats, no spring buffers These brass
tickets were issued to the various stations,
the guard of the train carrying leather bag
something in the style of collection box,
having eight separate divisions, one for each
station. At the end of eacn passengers
journey his ticket was taken up and placed
in the bag by the guard to be returned, re-
corded on the books, and again used.
