WHEN GREEK MET RUSS.
The Czar's Subject Was Almost Caught,
But Found q Way Out.

The Cars Subject Was Almost Caught,
But Found Way Out.
A Greek vessel was lying at anchor
not long since in a harbor in the Black
sea, and being a rather suspicious craft
an excise officer was ordered to keep
watch on its movements.
The captain was anxious to perform
some illegal operation with his ballast,
but he found it impossible to escape the
vigilance of the officer, so he deter
mined to make worth his while to wink
both his eyes.
AS, however, the Russian understood
no Greek, and the Greek was quite ig-
norant of Russian, the proposal had to
be made in dumb show. After indicat-
ing in pantomime what he wanted to do
with the ballast the skipper wrote
down on a piece of paper: TEN rou-
bles"
The excise officer read the paper and
then promptly wrote underneath it:
Zone hundred roubles." This was more
than the Greek felt inclined to pay, and
the negotiations fell through.
The affair, however, reached the ears
of the authorities, and the Greek was
arrested. In court he rounded" on
his accuser by producing the document
which had been the medium of negotia-
ton between them.
Did you write this?" asked the judge
of the witness, as he pointed to the
words: cone hundred roubles.'
1 - -
"Then you demanded a bribe?" re-
torted the judge, in his severest tones
by no means" answered the astute
Russ. 1.-THE prisoner offered me ten
roubles and told him / would not dc
what he wanted for one hundred rou.

A NJ exican Solution.

The rich of our cities might find q
solution of the servant girl problem by
consulting the manners of the Mexi-
cans. The wealthy Mexican never de-
mics his poor relations; he uses them;
and so it is not uncommon TO find the
mother of the host engaged as cook, the
sister as housegirl, the father or brother
as butler; nor is there any attempt TO
conceal the family ties. Our American
pride would probably forbid such an ar
rangement; but il is a question whether
our pride, real or false, is not more
marked than any genuine spirit OF de-
mocraey.

A CRISIS IN BERLIN
Precipitated by the Unpopular Pri-
mary Education Bill.
THE KAISER IS HESITATING
VIII He Let Caprivi Go or Embroil the
Empire by Insisting on His Reten'
tion--Crowds Gather and Discuss the
situation in the Inter den Linden.
ESPECIAL CABLE TO THE SEwsl

BERLIN. March 1s.-There is a crisis in
the Prussian cabinet, resulting from the
meeting of ministers yesterday, at which
the Emperor presided. The subject under
discussion was the primary education
bill, and there are bitter differences of
opinion over this measure.
Chancellor Won Caprivis resignation
was handed in, and it is said that the
minister of the interior and the minister
construction will resign also.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
ci ty and the rumor is freely circulated
that the resignation means the return of
Bismarck to the imperial chancellorship.
Crowds gathered in the Unter-den-Lin
aud discussed the ministerial crisis. 1t is
claimed thvt the resignation of Caprivi
is the result of the protracted contest over
the educational bill, which he as Prussian
premier championed from the first.
The Kaiser has not accepted the resig-
nation.

difference of opinion as to the outcome
That the plan had fallen pretty flat was
admitted, even by its friends.
Reports of the silver bill came up Tues
day, and il is believed that its advocates
will show unexpected mineral strength.
This, il is argued, will not help the mar
ket, If il does not have the opposite effect.
Reports come from Central Illinois
that the cold weather of the last few days
has not damaged the wheat. No farm
work done. Farmers are anxious for
good weather TO get TO work. The coun-
try roads are almost impossible and no
corn or wheat is being marketed on ac-
count of the low prices and the bad roads
The country mills carry only fair stocks
of wheat. Farmers are greatly discour-
aged at the outcome of prices.
Ninety-eight acres Of oats aud the bulk
of the crop is out of the farmers hands.
Corn is i'm as good condition as ever at
this time of the year, but does not grade
before May or June, and this year will be
no exception. The weather has been cold
ever since Friday. The soil is mostly
light and sandy. and the wheat is hard to
kill; but the plants are much more sus-
ceptible TO the injury than usual. IL is
thought that severe damage has been
done.

A BIG BOLT POSSIBLE.
Two Democratic Tickets May Be in
the Field.
A SPLIT ON SILVER COINAGE.
Anti-siIver Democrats Talk OF Putting Up
~ Candidate of Their Own Against
the Nominee Of the Chicago Conyen-
tion.
[nY LEASED WIRE TO THE xEwsl


WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 1s.-Are the
Democrats likely TO put two Presidential
tickets in the field this year? Startling
as the suggestion may seem, it is not i'm
probable that some action of this sort may
be taken. IL the Democratic House
passes, by a substantial majority, free
silver bill, and if this action be followed
by the insertion of free silver plank in
the Chicago platform, it is not improba-
BILE that the year 1892 may witness repe-
tition of the political events of 1860, when
two Democratic candidates contended for
victory, not alone against each other, but
against the candidates of the Republican
and whig parties as well.
No concerted movement looking to a
nomination other than that to be made at
Chicago in June has yet been made, but
anti-silvcr Democrats of the House are
considering the adyisability of such n
course. IL is argued that IL would be i'm
possible for any consistent Democrat to
vote the Republican ticket, and by so
doing give his endorsement TO the McKin-
ley tariff bill.
On the other hand, no sound money
Democrat, whether in the East or the
West or the South, can conscientiously
support a Presidential candidate who
stands upon platform which demands
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
1t is contended, therefore, that the only
alternative is to TO place in the field "A
ticket which will represent the Democratic
ideo of tariff reform and at the same time
the sound money Democratic opposition to
the free coinage of silver.
