issue bonds until the necessity becomes
imperative to maintain the parity in
value of gold and silver, or of paper cir
culation bassd or either or both. Il see
nc present danger of gold going to a

Carlisle will exercise his authority with
wisdom and prudence and in such a
way as to maintain the public credit"

DENOUNCED THE TREATY.

~ -
Russian Ex, raditton a Revival of the
Fugitive slave Law.
CHICAGO, April e5.-Central Music
Hall was packsd TO the doors by III en-
thusiastic audience which gathered to
denounce the Russian treaty. The
speakers were bold in their remarks, de-
nouncing the treaty as a fugitive slave
law and the president and senate of the
United States as policemen for the car.
State Senator Edward 7. Noonan pre-
sided. Judge nj. r. 1uley of the cir.
cult court was the first speaker and
said:
Judge Tuley's Opinion.
Why is it we have interested our-
selves in behalf of Russian refugees? 1t
is because a wrong done to the hum
blest Russian peasant is a wrong done
to you. to me, and the 80, 000. 900 people
who profess allegiance to American
laws. A law affecting any citizen of
this country is wrong. The purpose OF
this treaty is to deprive some of his
or her liberty. Why is it that the
United States should surrender a Grim
1ud2 w INuESlds SlNh Jaw UdS HI say
there; monarchial law has been and is
today the rule. The criminal laws Of
Russia are such as to dishonor
any nation that will make with it an
extradition treaty. Why should Rus
STA be permitted to make the president
OF the United States and those subordin-
ate to him his policemen to arrest Rus
rian criminals? Should extradition of
Russian citizens be attempted we will
appeal to a higher power-the constitu-
ton of the United States. We will see
whether a president and about 80
United States senators can a q
stigma of disgrace upon our country.
A Letter From KEENAN,.
A letter from George Kennan, the
celebrated Siberian traveller, was read,
in which Mr.. Kennan said when the
car ceases to declare martial law every
year in the most important parts of his
empire, when he restores trials by jury
and recognizes the rights of habeas cor
pus, when he abolishes exile by admin
istrative process and imprisonment
without judicial warrant, when he
ceases to persecute religious dissenters
on account of their faith, when he reforms
the Siberian exile system, and when he
begins to rule as a civilized and
Christian monarch. then, but not till
then, can the government of the United
States send back to him his fugitive
subjects, without cruel injustice to
them and disgrace to itself.
Bishop Failows, Rev. A. E. Clifford
and other speakers denounced the
treaty as an outrage upon American in
situations, declared that it was merely
a fugitive slave law, and the men who
passed it had made themselves slave
catchers.
1t was decided to request the govern
ment to undo the great disgrace it has
put upon the American nation. and at
once ~abrogate this infamous treaty"

Terrible State Of Affairs Said to Exist
ut Winnipeg Told by
Travellers.
Three Hundred Smallpox Patients Are
Guaranteed in Tents and
Sheds.
A Dozen Cases Have Developed and All
Have Been Exposed-Many More
Went On.

ST.. PAUL, April 25.-The Dispatch
has the following regarding the small
pox at Winnipeg:
The Dispatch has learned of an
alarming condition of affairs at Winni-
peg and which has hitherto been care
fully concealed from the press and pub
lie of this country. -
Smallpox suspects are guaranteed on
the outskirts of Winnipeg in tents and
sheds. But one death has so far oc-
CURED, but all of the 300 have been ex-
posed to the terrible malady, and there
r a dozen or more cases developing.
Concealing the Facts.
This information lie obtained from
travellers direct from Winnipeg. The
true condition of affairs is not revealed
in the press dispatches, as the authori-
ties at Winnipeg are making q deter
mined effort to prevent the facts being
widely disseminated. The 800 suspects
are immigrants who reached Winni-
peg a few days ago. and the
first case discovered was in a family of
Germans who came from Russia.
Alarm turned to indignation when it
became known that a child had died on
the train en- route, and the city authori-
ties at once took the matter in hand
and placed everybody and everything
in quarantine that had been in contact
with the immigrants.
Caught the Disease in Belgium.
The story of the immigrants is that
the caught they disease while passing
through Belgium by being placed in a
car with a smallpox patient. The Dis
patch's informant states that the dis
ease or its symptoms were first discov-
cred at Liverpool, where one family
was detained, but the others were al
lowed to proceed. By the time Mon
treal was reached the disease was fully
developed, but
Still No Action Was Taken
by the authorities. At Port Arthur
again 1t became known that disease
was on board the train, and everybody's
desire seemed to be to rush the train
and the pestilence further in the in
terror.
There were nearly 100 people on the
steamer from which these smallpox
victims came. Half of them went &c
points in Ontario and the Western
states. 1t is evident that there.
Has Been Criminal Negligence
on the part of the Authorities at Liver,
pool and again at Canadian points In
allowing these infected immigrants te
proceed. 1t is also highly reprehensible
on the part of the Winnipeg
authorities to endeavor to conceal
the facts from the general
public. st. Paul and Minneapolis arr
directly concerned, owing to the con.
slant travel between the Twin Cities
and Winnipeg. The authorities in this
state should be in possession of the full
facts In order to take due precautionary
measures, and the information, how.
ever unpleasant and alarming, which
has been sought to be withheld at Win.
nipeg, is therefore given out.

throughout the state as a politician and

eral manager. The liabilities are over
100000 with assets largely in excess,
but mainly in lands and farm property.
Considering Major Diggs' conservative
business methods, this suspension is a
little startling, but s~tringency in the
money market and difficulty in making
collections are supposed to be the cause.

MONETARY CONFERENCE.

President Cleveland Summons Amer
lean Delegates to Washington.
BALTIMORE, April 25.-The American
in its Washington budget has the fol
lowing:
1t is understood that President Cleve-
land has requested the American dele
gates TO the international monetary con-
ference to visit him in Washington be-
fore they return to Brussels to be pres
emit at the next session of the conference.
The American delegates are Senators
Alliston, Jones and McCreary, Mr..
Henry q. Cannon and Professor Il.
Brown Andrews. 1t is believed that
the purpose of the call of delegates to
Washington is for the purpose Of re-
ceiying an expression of opinion rela-
tive to the silver coinage question and
the preparation of some defin-
lite proposition on the COIN
age of silver which the American
delegate can submit to the conference.
1t was indicated in a recent cablegram
from Minister Terrell. the United States
minister at Brussels, that unless the
American delegates on the reassembling
Of the conference had some definite pro-
posal to submit for discussion and
action. IL was more than probable that
the entire business of the coming SEES
sion would be limited to aformal open
ing Of the conferences and a formal ad.
journment sine die. 1t has been
practically the history of the two pre-
ceding international silver conferences,

TO EVICT BLACKS.

Gov. Carr and Several Companies of
Militia En- Route to James City.
RALEIGH, N. c., April 25.-The state
guard of North Carolina is holding it
self in readiness to go to James City,
N. c., near Newberne, to expel 5000
negroes from that settlement. The
negroes are not the lawful owners of
the property, and it has been decided by
the court that they shall evacuate.
They refuse to do SO and threaten
bloodshed if an attempt is made to. dis
lodge them. Military orders have been
issued for the First regiment of state
guards to report here to proceed to
James City.
Cause OF the Trouble.
The trouble at James City was pre-
cipitated by the refusal of a number OF
q squatters to abandon a tract oil
land claimed by q white man named
Bryan, and whose claim was upheld by
the state courts. The negroes have been
living on the land for years, and in fact
James City. with a population of 5000,
is built upon it. The negroes refused
to vacate, and the state was called upon
to evict them.
