ELECTIONS ALMOST OVER.

Sir Charles Dixie Elected, and by an In
creased Liberal Msjority-The Poliings
Almost over-The Gladstonian Majority
viii BE About so In Parliament.
LONDON, July 16-With GIL out of the
670 members of the House of Commons
elected, interest in the elections has, to a
large extent, subsidized. The Liberals may
win from five to ten more seats, and it is
practically certain that Mr.. Gladstone's
majority will be somewhere near 30.
Lord Salisbury summons cabinet coun-
Gil for next week to decide whether the
present Government shall meet
Parliament or forthwith resign. A
large section of his party urge
him not to resign, on the ground that ma
joritv OF the British electors have voted
against home rule; but it is doubtful
whether Lord Salisbury will take course
that will only prolong the crisis. A seat
will be found for Lord Salisbury's son,
Viscount Cranborne, in Kensington, by
comforting peerage on Sir Algernon
Borthwick.
After a most bitter fight, Sir Charles
Dixie has again been given an opportunity
to re-enter public life The fight against
him, as has been stated in these dispatches,
was not waged so much on political grounds,
for the Forest of Dean division,
in which he stood, has always
given good Liberal majories, but
because of his connection with the famous
Crawford divorce case. One feature of the
contest was the calling of q meeting to at
tack Sir Charles, but, the princi-
pal speaker expected Mr.. Stead,
formerly editor of the Pail Mall Gazettee,
did not appear, and the meeting was taken
possession of by Sir Charles friends, who
denounced the unchristianlike attitude of
the Social Purity Association which led in
the fight against the Liberal candidate.
The figures received from the district
show that Sir Charles majority, 2,41S, is
larger than those of two preceding elections,
and is only 304 behind that election of 1885,
when a heavy Liberal majority was given.
The result is q surprise to the Conservatives,
who thought that with the aid of non.con-
formists they would, perhaps, be able to win
the district

SOME SHARP swINDLERs.
Tho Hindoos Are Rather Clever In De
frauding this seamen.

Tho Hindoos Are Rather Clever in De-
fraudin- this seamen.
1t is doubtful if any race of swindlers can
quite equal the Asiatic, says a recent
writer. The smile, which is childlike and
bland, of the accomplished Chinaman often
masks profundity of cunning and dexter
ity in fraud that the Caucasian cannot rival.
Even the mild Hindoo has faculty for
fraud that is not ALWAYS suspected.
In the bazars of Calcutta and Bombay the
vilest poison is sold to the English sailors as
whisky or brandy in bottles branded with a
reliable dealers name. Jack pays the price
of the genuine article, but is supplied with
The dealer knows the value of brands.
He lays in a stock of the genuine bottles,
and never disturbs labels or capsules By
the skillful application of the blowpipe he
drills small hole in the bottom of the
bottle, draws off all tine genuine liquid, re-
places it with his poisonous stuff, closes up
the hole so that no trace remains and palms
off the bottle on unsuspecting Jack as real
'rMartelr' or "fne old Irish" The alb
stracted liquor will, of course, always sell
on its own merits elsewhere.
Another ingenious device of mild Hindoo
is to drill hole in the edge of d rupee and
then scrape out the silver from the inside,
leaving only sort of shell, without d I'M
aging the impression on the rim. Lead is
then poured gently in, mixed with some
alloy which gives the requisite ring, and the
hole Is carefully closed.
Only keen and experienced eye can de-
tect the Imposture. The silver which is
thus abstracted will be worth nearly shilI-
ing, and the manipulation has still his rupee
to spend. But the operation may occupy
him the greater portion of a week, durin,
whicn time he might have earned two
rupees by honest work.

CAPTAIN LUGARD EXPLAINS,
He Tells All About the Religious War in
the African Kingdom of Uganda.

the African Kingdom of Uganda.
LONDON, July Is. - Full official dis
patches from Captain Lugard, the agent of
the British East Africa Company in
Uganda, in regard to the religious warfare
in that country, have at last been received.
Captain Lugard says the troubles COM
menced January 12, on the arrival in
Uganda of the French Bishop. On the
receipt of this news, Captain Lugard de-
clares, continual aggressions by the Catho-
lie faction ensued.
When Captain Lugard asked King
Mwanga, the native ruler and the leader of
the Catholic party, to punish the murderer
of Protestant chief, he was told that if he
interfered in the matter every one of his
soldiers would be killed. On the following
day overwhelming French forces attacked
Captain Lugard's command, who, armed
with Maxim rifles, made brave stand and
succeeded in repulsing them. They fled to
the islands, after seizing King Mwanga,
which action was of immense
importance to Uganda, where
the people were devoted to the
King. Captain Lugard offered to reinstate
claims, but owing to the intrigues and lies
of the French bishop the captains over
lures were rejected Finally" Captain
Lugard, without any further explanations,
continues, 1--WE were forced to attack the ISL
ands where the French forces had in
trenched themselves, and after heavy fight
ing drove out the enemy with great loss.
They are now centering at Buddu. The Pro-
testants are in a critical position, the Cath
olics, Mohammedans and Southerns all be.
ing arrayed against them.

Edward T. Berry has been piano mover
in this city continuously throughout the II
years past Berry is a big man, standing
feet, stocking clad, and weighing 200
pounds. He is SO well proportioned as not
to appear so heavy. He is a native son,
having been born AZ years ago in Del
Norte county, near where Rouge
river meets with the sea Del Norte
was a wilderness then, and Berry grew up
sportsman and an angler, pur-
suits which made him strong of limb and
sound of wind. When a youth he went in
Lremier wrestler of Northern California
until he was apprenticed to tanner and
currier. That trade did not suit him and
he tried horse training, a profession in
which his strength first became noticeable.
Teaming followed, and as one of its most
lucrative branches Berry took up the NOV
ing of fine furniture.
His daily work is to move from Is to 20
pianos up and down stairs, sometimes sev-
ersl flights. Berry manages one end of the
piano, while two men can barely handle
the other. The strong man also takes the
lower end in going up stalrways. often being
compelled to sustain the whole weight Of
instruments of the 'tgrand" form. which
weigh between ], 200 and 1 500 pounds. He
estimates his daily lifts dead weight to be
90, and the weight lifted each time to aver
age ], 1000 pounds. As the weights must be
sustained for length of time, the feat be-
comes the more remarkable.
That SO many years of services at such
tasking labor has not broken him down
Berry believes is due to the fact that he has
always been regular in his habits, sleeping
long hours and refraining from drinking
He claims nothing for himself as to
strength, but along Kearney street and
among expressmen generally he is consid-
cred the Samson of the profession.

AsBURY PARK, Nj. July Is. rSpeeia,. ]
The announcement that President Harrison
has appointed Edmund G. Harrison post
aster here, in place of Alfred R. Toland,
whose term expired some months ago,
has caused intense bitterness among
Republicans of Asbury Park and
Neptune township. Long before MI.
Toland's term ended the friends
of Rev. George w. Treat and John L. Coffin
began pushing their claims for the appoint
ment. 1t was the most bitter fight of the
kind ever seen in this section of the State
Mr.. Coffin was for some years the editor of
Asbury Park Journal, strong Republican
organ. Mr.. Treat has been leading worker
in the ranks of his party for years, and is
the President of the County Republican
Executive Committee.
The dissatisfaction over Mr.. Harrison 8
appointment is so strong that most of the
members of the Republican club will offer
their designations at the next meeting, and
the furniture will be sold. The new Post
master is friend of Postmaster General

with their lives. Mrs. Turner was
Ill and had beenlsent to Sung Pan

the strangers Of being necromancers
and Of preventing a rainfall. A
mob numbering fully 1000 made m
attack on the house and Mr.. Turner
and wife were dragged out, beaten
over the head with pickets, and
with their clothes half torn from
the bndiea wero marched bareheaded
through the streets under a blazing
sun. The mob threatened to drown
them, but were prevented by mill
tary officials, who suggested that
the missionaries be tried before a
native court. This was done and
the court ordered Mr.. aud Mrs. Tur-
ner To be beaten, but two native
Christian servants volunteered and
were beaten In their stead. The

Tho Prohibitionist Vote.

The election returns Of the last four
years give some interesting information
as to the strength of the Prohibition
party and its distribution. In 1888, at
the last presidential election, the party
cast 240,907 votes, which was a little
more than 81 per cent. Of the total vote.
In the congressional elections two years
later, 1890, the vote was lighter, being
l9S,SS0, but the percentage remained
very nearly the same, being little over
. per cent.
But while this was the proportion of
the total national vote the power of the
party in the several states is by no
means indicated by it. In 1888 there
were electors named in every state but
one, South Carolina, and the vote ran
from Al in Nevada to 30,231 in New
York. In Wisconsin it was 14,277; in
Minnesota, 1891; in Pennsylvania, 90
947; in Michigan, 0,942; in Illinois, 21,-
600; in Ohio, 24,350. In some of the
states the proportion was nearly per
cent; in several it was between and 5
per cent. -Harper's Weekly.

imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored
to it's normal condition, bearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out

BRILLIANT ENGINEERING.

Creation of a Great Lake to supply
Liverpool " Ith Water.
For a small country we do big thing
now and then, even by the admission OF
our American cousins. The Forth bridge
was one; another is the creation OF Lake
vyrnwy, in mid-Wales, which has been
declared by the Duke Of Connaught at
Liverpool to be "open" and fit to act as
the source Of the water supply Of that
CITY and the surrounding district. This
means a great Geal. 1t means that the
corporation of Liverpool and their en-
gineer have actually remade a great lake
which existed ~ lake In tho glacial
epoch, but which during the time cog
nizable by human record has been a
marshy valley, through which a tribr-
tary of the Severn slowly wound.
Il means that a village. "A cnnrch, a
burial ground and pleasant country
house had to be removed bodily; that Il
vast dam, unequaled in the world, had
to be built, and that the water had to be
conveyed through pipes and storage
tanks as far as Liverpool, across the
Mersey and over seventy miles away.
The work has taken eleven years to
bring to completion, and has employed
an army of workinen and an engineer,
whose name will always be associated
with this great achievement, Mr.. George
F. Deacon. Everybody will join che
Duke of Connaught in congratulating
the engineer, the men and the corpora
ton on the conclusion of so great a
work, and not the least element in the
public satisfaction. will be the thought
that it has been done without hurting
the susceptibilities Of even the most ar
dent devotee of natural beauty.
Ten years ago the Vyrnwy valley was
a bare, marshy uninteresting region,
which had been a lake once, but the
waters from which had flowed away.
Now, though of course the engineers
work looks raw and new as yet, the good
achievement of nature has been done
over again, and there is lake where a
lake existed till the barrier was for some
reason worn away. An enormous i'm
provement indeed has been effected, as
everybody will admit when the masonry
has toned down and the trees have
grown. We are not without hopes that
the same will one day be found to be the
case with Thirlmere; but it was not tc
be expected that good Wordsworthians
and lake dwellers should believe that tc
be possible when first Manchester asked
| for leave to make her works in that
sacred region.
We shall see, and meanwhile it may
be hoped that Manchester will lose nc
time in her friendly race with Liver.
pool. The making of water works in n
beautiful country, with all t;dcir accom-
paniments of unsightly n. y of earth
and heaps of piping, is tAlh5 which, il
done at all, should be done quickly
There have been, we know, many IN
expected difficulties in the way. Man
chester is rather unlucky in these mat
ters, but it is to be hoped that these
have now been overcome.-Londor
