Fortunes in England.

Americans who are troubled by visions
of vast English estates should remember a
few points of the property law of that
country. No action to recover land can be
brought after twelve years from the time
when the right accrued. In case of disa-
bilities, such as infancy, thirty years is the
maximum. If the claim arises under a
will, the action must be against the trus-

The WOrld'S Fair.

In on interview Director General Davis, of
the Worlds Columbian Commission, is quoted
as saying at Chicago that Congress had really
given the Fair So, 2S3, 600, S7S3.000 more than
it is generally understood the bill called for.
His summary of the various items brings the
total to the sum stated, as follows:
Worlds Columbian Commission, 1920, 600 I;
Board of Lady Managers. $4,000; Govern
ment Exhibits Board, 100000; Medals and
Diplomas, $l03,000; For loss on coinage of
souvenirs, $4,000 Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton. So, 100000. Total, 1888, 900.
Mr.. Davis then goes on to show how the
amount can still be further increased by dis
posing of the souvenir half dollars at pre-
MUM.
"Now, you will see" he said, "that I have
not counted anything for premium on the half
dollars / know of an offer of two per cent.
premium of the whole issue that is now ready.
NV opinion is that every half dollar is worth
at least rs cents A moderate estimate will
give US 100000 profit there, SO that we may
thank Congress for making US present of
nearly 81, 600 900, when we had asked only a
loan of S., 100000. 1 feel sure that the more
the friends of the Fair consider the question
the more they will feel the value of the legisla-
ton in its favor"

Russo-Bulcarian Affair at n Crisis.

A very knotty question for Mr.. Gladstone to
solve in relation to foreign affairs is the position
of Russia in relation to Bulgaria
The publication in the Bulgarian Govern
ment organ, the SuoJOda, of the sensational
document bearing on Russia's connection with
the plot against Prince Ferdinand, and proving
apparently that the Russian Government was
the real instigator of the various conspiracies
to kill Prince Ferdinand and Premier Stambu-
loft, has been very ugly pill for the Russian
Court to swallow While the Car himself had
little to do with these intrigues to compass the
assassination, yet it has been proven that the
Asiatic department of the Cars Government
had subsidized Bulgarian assassins.
1t is reported that the Gar has entrusted
Princess Waldemar with special mission, the
object of which is to inform the Orleans family
that it is utterly untrue that any Russian Off
Gals had hired assassins to kill Prince Ferdi-
nand, who is member of the Orleans family.
The Orleansts, however, require something
more convincing than mere denial in the face
of the overwhelming evidence of the SrOboda
documents. The Bulgarian Government has
decided to print these things in facsimile.
with the signature of Zinovieff, who is the head
of the Asiatic department Of the Russian Gov
ernment The publication of these documents
has been the most important development of
the Bulgarian question which has occurred in
a long time, and has excited universal interest
throughout Europe 1t looks as if NJ. Stambu-
loft intends to bring matters to crisis, and to
force Russias hand, while Bulgaria has the full
support of the Triple Alliance and of England.

Russian Activity.

An important change is impending in the
method of conducting the central Government.
1t is expected that the Car, according to the
new arrangement, will appoint directly a
Minister President, who will distribute the
ministerial portfolios himself and will alone be
responsible to the Car.
Three detachments of Russian troops have
occupied the Pamirs as far as the Hindoo-
Koosh Mountains, thus holding the country
from which Capt. Yauof, who commanded the
Russian expedition to the Pamirs in 1891, re-
tired in the latter part of that year. This
news excites considerable interest, as it is be-
lieved that the sudden activity of the Russians
is due to the success of Mr.. Gladstone in the
elections, and conviction at St. Petersburg
that Mr.. Gladstone will not be as active as
Lord Salisbury in obstructing Russian agrees
sion. After the suppression of the riots in
Tashkend several thousand insurgent Sarts
fled from the city and tried to cross the Prov
ince of Syr- Daria into Ferghana, but were re-
pulsed by the local troops The instruction
has spread to Ferghana, and the position OF
the Russians there is critical, as they do not
possess sufficient men to cope with the insur-
gents, part of their forces having gone to
Pamirs. The Governor General of Turkestan
refuses to send reinforcements to Ferghana, as
there are fears of the security of Tashkend,
where the Moslems threaten to revolt.

The ex-President of Venezuela.

DR.. Raimundo Andueza Palacio, ex-President
of Venezuela, is in Paris, and when inter-
viewed in regard to his course in Venezuela
said, among other things that he thought he
had been most unjustly sandered, as he had
been put down as drunkard, gambler and
thief. He held, as proof of his innocence. that
he had been elected to his office by unanimity.
and that had he been debauchee he would not
have been chosen to rule his country without
any opposition. He claimed not to have been
forced to abandon his country, but that he left
it of his own free will, and was still the only
constitutional President of Venezuela. He said
that while he lived with comfort in his hotel
there was none of the superfuous luxury that
distinguishes the residence of a millionaire, as
has been the case with the apartments taken
by other South American Presidents who had
come to Paris.

valued at $646, 1870
The Roman Catholic Church ranks first in
numerical strength, embracing 6,250,O46 people
in its faith. Its property is valued at $4,000,
900. This membership, of course, includes all
members of Catholic families, communicates
or not, and particularly all those whose names
were ever on the parish rolls. as name is
never taken off roll unless the person dies, is
communicated, or leaves the faith, while
with the Protestant Churches only those are
included in the census who are regular COM
municants; whole families not being brought
into the count because few members OF them
may be communicates, and in order to make a
large showing.
The Methodist Episcopal Church is next,
with membership of 2, 240, 354 and with church
property aggregating 396, 100000. In the south
ern portion of the United States there are num-
bered in the Methodist Episcopal faith 1880

The Baptists follow, 100000 strong, and next
come the colored denominations, with a total
membership of 100000 and church property
valuation of $30,0000O0. The majority OF
them are Methodists-
The Presbyterians are fourth In numbers.
The Protestant Episcopalian denomination,
while numbering but 100000 people, has the
most property per capita, the aggregate being
$173 100000. The valuation of church property
by census agents does not include schools, par
sonages or any feature excepting the edifces
and the sites upon which they are built.

Der 100000, and there are 30 religious COM
munities with a membership of 10000

who have been driven out of Europe, have set
tied exclusively in three Counties of North
Dakota. This is the primitive religious faith
of Christian worship, and was established in
the 18th century. The Mennonites are now a
sort of clannish people from Russia, but they
are strong in numbers and great deVotees in
their faith.
Mr.. Bull says that the Church of the Latter
Day Saints Is increasing rapidly in member
ship, numbering now 66 900, aud owning church
property valued at $4,000, 600. !" Mormons,
said Mr. Bull, "can be found in nearly every
State in the Union. / have ascertained that
there are several places of worship in Chicago
for Mormons. have not ascertained, however,
that polygamy is actually practiced In this
city,"
The Salvation Army adds its mite to the re-
ligious statistics of the census report, placing
its strength at 5000.

tion recently sailed from port near Key
West Fla, for the Queen of the Antilles"
The vessel was loaded down with well-driled
and fully-equipped men, who are prepared to
die for Cuban liberty. The leader of the ex
petition is undoubtedly Gen. Charles Rolloff,
who has been in Florida for more than two
months. Gen. Rollof's presence 30 inspired
the Cuban clubs with new life that there is
hardly Cuban in Key West or Tampa who is
not enrolled in either patriotic or revolu.
tionary club. For this reason it is natural to
suppose that Gen. Rollof is the leader of the
expedition.
