There Is q colored messenger at the depart
ment of state who has been attached to the ser
vice for many years In one capacity and
another, and is valued by officials, according to
the Washington Post, because OF his intelli-
gence and general usefulness. The old gentle
man tells of an incident illustrating the po-
tency OF clothes on the other side of the At
lantic. He was over few years since, as gen.
eral utility man to O party of distinguished
statesmen, on an important diplomatic mission.
The party was hidden to an important social
function at one of the continental courts, and az
the affair took place in the afternoon, the diplo-
mats started out arrayed in their
finest frock coats, according to the
best American usage. Only the colored
aide-de-camp, who went along to look after
coats and hats, wore the usual dress of his
place. When the party arrived at the palace,
the colored contingent, who did not know the
lingo, found himself hustled through the dress
ing room by lot of nveried lackeys, and before
he could realize the situation, ushered alone
into the presence of royalty. There is no color
prejudice on the other side, and he was taken
for the chief representative of the American
Republic. When he escaped from the unex.
pected prominence it was to find himself alone
in strange tongued city. The rest of the dele
cation, as he learned when he found his way
back, had been sternly excluded because of
their unconventional uniforms. The old
gentleman frequently relates with glee how he
carried of the honors for the joint high CON-
mission.

OF Mr.. Alexander Greger, charge d'afsaires Of
the Russian legation at Washington City in the
absence OF Minister de Strive, the Post of that
city says: "He is a young man to carry the re-
sponsibIlities of diplomatic post of so great
importance He is anything but the typical
Russian blond in appearance. He wears q
closely cropped beard jet black in color, and his
hair is fully ss black as his beard. His com.
plexion is clear and smooth to a degree calcu-
lated to excite the envy OF young ladies, and he
has way of looking very intensely At a person
with his dark blue eyes when talking His
figure is athletic in its proportions, with pair
OF broad, shapely shoulders. His athletic ap-
pearance is carried out by his accomplishments,
for Mr.. Greger Is an enthusiast in all manly
exercises With the foils he is an expert and Is to
be seen on horseback every afternoon. The Rus.
sian dhrosky with which Mr.. Greger surprised
the city soon after his advent, with its trio of
horses running abreast, Is still remembered"

In the memoirs of the late Count Won Room,
Just published in Berlin, there are some inter-
esting letters of the late Emperor William,
which show how great was the sympathy OF
that monarch with Russia. and what difficulties
Prince Bismarck must have had to overcome be-
fore he concluded the Austro-German treaty In
1874 On August Is, 1877, when the Russians
had suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of
the Turks, the emperor wrote: "You judge me
rightly In supposing that am deeply moved by
the reverse of the Russian army, and that /
grieve with the Emperor Alexander. But the
operations since the passage of the Danube are
to me a riddle. . hope with you that at
last victory will remain with the Russian army,
but the Turks must be blind If they allow
quietly the arrival OF enormous reinforcements
/ wish they may be SO blind!' Events showed
that the Turks gratiiied the wish. On March II,
1878. the emperor writes: "When you wrote
to me Plevna had just fallen. The Rus
SLAMS went from victory to victory, and
stand now before the gates Of constantinople,
and viii conclude a peace which will bring
them little reward for the enormous sacrifice Of
life blood, and all sorts of expenses. And who
knows what the congress lof Berlin) viii yet
squeeze out of them in Armenia and on the
Danube. II II great honor 10 Germany, and
especially to Prussia, that this congress is to
meet in Berlin in order to enable Bismarck to
attend. But to me personally many q bitter
hour viii thus be caused, for my part is that of
al arbiter, and such q one can not please every
body" The latter remark, says our correspon-
dent, proves how far-sighted was the old empe-
TOR. The breach IL the close friendship of Ger
many and Russia dates from the Berlin congress-

TARIFF AND MONEY.
Speculation on Probable Action in
These Matters.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-A special from
Washington to the Herald says: The
policy of declaring the position of the
Democratic house on the tariff ana sill
yer questions by means of Sc
ries of resolutions will probably be
adopted by the Democratic caucus. The
fight in caucus, if there is a fight, will
probably be over the character of the
resolutions. The advocates of Senator
Hili's policy of negation will urge the
weakest possible resolutions in regard
to the tariff in order to keep protection
lists, tariff reformerS and free traders all
within the fold. The more earnest TAR
if reformers will probably propose sub
Stitute resolutions defining more fully
the attitude of the party in favor of free
raw materials, reduced duties on manu-
featured products and reyenue-yieIding
duties on luXurieS.
The reformers say that the character
of the tariff resolutions will determine
whether or not they will accept the
plan of substituting resolutions for a
general tariff bill. They want policy
which means something and does not
look like a cowardly evasion of the
issue. Mr.. Springer still adheres to his
policy of bringing in tariff bills dealing
with single articles. but he seems in no
hurry to act, and said yesterday that he
did not know just how soon he should
call meeting of the ways and means
committee. There have been only two
short conferences of the Democratic
members of the committee, and thew
have resulted In no agreement Proba-
bly, nothing decisive will be done by the
committee until the entire problem of
tariff reform is submitted to caucus.
Some of the Eastern members of the
house, who are very much in earnest on
the subject of revenue reduction, are
willing to accept resolutions ON the
tariff and silver questions in preference
to attempts at legislation which might
result in the passage of free coinage
bill. Their purpose, next to reforming
the tariff, is to postpone or defeat free
coinage, and they are ready for almost
any honorable compromise which will
accomplish this result. If the question
was simply one of tariff, they would
probably insist upon general tariff
bill, but if the adoption of series of
resolutions means that there Will be. no

COST OF ROYALTY.
A Great Editor Speaks Cynically
OF Royal Pensioners.

OF Royal Pensioners.
The cost of British royalty is about
S5,000,000 year. In addition to the
maintenance of palaces and the build
ing of royal yachts the incomes voted to
the family are enormous, says Henry
Labouchere IN London Truth.
The Prince of Wales has over $500. 900
and the princess $50, 900 year. The
younger sons of the queen have been
voted S125,000. the daughters $50, 900
each, the Duke of Cambridge. the
queens cousin, 100000, and his two sis
tiers S25, 900 and $4,000 respectively, and
100000 was voted to the Empress Fred
erick, of Germany, when she was mar
ried.
The lord chamberlain. lord steward
and master of buckhounds get S2S, 500

What would be thought in the United
States of the senate were each incom-

to some thirty senators for performing

sible to give senator from the North
many thousand dollars per annum for
walking backward before the president
with white stick, senator from the
South a huge income for looking after
the presidential dogs, and the wife of
senator from the West a big salary for
presiding over the gowns and the petit
coats of Mrs. President?

silver legislation, they may be brought
to accept this programme.
The silver resolutions, according to
the GOrman-Brice programme, will
simply follow the idea OF Senator Hill,
that the silver act of 1890 should be re-
pealed, and that an international confer
ence on the silver question should be
called. 1t is hoped that the Eastern men
will unite with the Western men on this
proposition, and that both sides will be
content to let the matter drop with the
adoption of such resolution. There
will be opposition to it from the free
coinage extremists, but they will prob
ably yield to the decree of the caucus.
Whether they do or not. they could
hardly muster votes enough in the house
to overthrow the programme which the
caucus had adopted. No caucus has yet
been called. but the leaders will prob
ably get together soon, after the luies
have been adopted, and endeavor to
agree upon definite programme.

ROOSIER CONVENTIONS.
Republicans to Hold Three-Lead-
ers Confer.

AACpuOiiCdhS 70 hOiu 1HFcc-Icdu-
ers Confer.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-The Repub-
lican state committee met today. and
district conventions for the selection of
delegates to the Minneapolis conven-
ton were called for March 3. A state
convention to choose four delegates at
large to the national convention was
fixed for indianapolis March 10, and a
convention to nominate state officers
for June 90.
simultaneously with the meeting of
the state committee a conference of
about one hundred Republican leaders
from all over the state was held in the
DenisOn parlors. ar which Hon. Stanton
j. Peel presided. Short speeches were
made, the general drift of which
was that the party was in
splendid condition and prospects
Tor success were good. But
once during the speeches was President
Harrison's name mentioned, and then it
was received with liberal applause.
There seemed general understanding
that no reference should be made to the
recent exciting contests at the district
conventions and none was made The
conference and the committee were
both composed largely of those who
favor the denomination of President
Harrison. No resolutions were adopted
by either body.

LOCOMOTIVE PUFFS.

Does in Travelling.
The number of "exhaustsn emitted by
an ordinary locomotive is four for every
revolution of the driving wheel, and
these can be easily countedwhen the en-

100 miles 1914 miles is the correct dis
lance, but for simplicity we will take
the former figure). The diameter of the
driving wheel is about feet; this null
tiplied by 3.14l5 will give us the circum-
ference. which comes TO nearly % feet,
which we will consider as correct. Now,
if we divide leo miles (the distance

Der Of revolutions of the main wheel in
raining this distuuce. There are 52S,-
600 feet in 100 miles; this divided by %
gives $4,000 as the number of reyOlu-
tons. Now, as there are four ''puffs"
to each revolution, $4,000 by 4 will give
us the number of ''puffs" in running 100
miles, which amounts to $1,000. The
express trains are allowed little over
two hours to do this journey. but l have
record before me which gives the de-
tails of a fine run by the Scotch express
from Leicester to London on April IS.
in which the whole journey was accom-
plIshed in l hour and rs minutes. or an
average OF nearly tifty-seyen miles an
hour. This was an altogether eXcep-
tioEal run. So we will allow two hours
for the journey, when we shall find
that the number of "pnffs'' per hour is
$4,000, or an average of 800 per minute.
Edinburgh is 400 miles from Kings
Cross, so that an engine with the same
size of driving wheel as just mentioned
would give a grand total of $4,000
''puffs" in accomplishing that distance.

UNIQUE POLITICS.
White Republicans Seeking Dem
Ocratic Allies.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 2S.-The
white Republican party recently or
ganized in this state is making
oVertures to the straight-out Dem
ocracy, which was defeated by the AL
lance movement in 1890. In secret
circular sent to number of prominent
Democrats, the committee of 100 saws:
I'VE make this personal appeal to you
TO JOIN US IN our efforts to build up such
a party in the state as shall command
recognition in state politics and prove
of service in giving US good govern
ment. 1t is probably known to you
that the old line Republican
party in this state does not
represent the Intelligent and respect
able adherentS of the true doctrine of
Republicanism. This new movement
commends itself to large number of
our best men, and there is certainly no
reason why any man who loves liberty
and justice and has the real interest of
the people at heart may not assist unre-
servedly i'll promalgating its principles.
