The Question of Disarmament.

NEW YORK, May 8 The Herald's s Paris cable says: From authentic information 1t appears the pope is preparing ah encyclical to the Euro pean governments setting forth the inevitable crises to which crushing military charges condemn them. He calls the attention of the govern ments to the necessity of introducing the idea of pacifcation into general policy to the we'll appeasement of the anger of the working class conse- quent upon misery. His holiness will ask for resolution on the question of disarmament, probably by encyclical, which may be the result of an agreement cone to in an interview with the emperor of Germany. The govern ments of Italy, Austria, Spain, Bel gium and Russia are said to be al ready informed of the agreement re- ferred to above and are willing to accept it. Russia made certain re- serves, but intends, it is believed, 10 adhere to the general decision, in which casa she will be charged with the mission of bringing a pressure upon France to induce her to join the other nations.

THE CHICAGO SHOW.
British Journalists Think it the Most Im-
 posIng Ever Seen.

British Journalists Think it the Most Inn
 posing Ever Seen.
 TORONTO, May s.-Sir James Long, proprietor of The Sheffield (England) Telegraph, who visited the Worlds Fair last week with a party of British journalists, has given impressions of his attractions and prospects of the fair. He says they considered the Chicago show the greatest ever held, the most extensive most costly and architeeturally the most inn posing. It is a question of money, and never before had so much money been contributed for such a purpose. The buildings arc much ahead of those at the Paris show, but he was disappointed at the un- ready state of the exhibition. The most forward exhibit was that Great Britain, and, strangely enough, the most backward exhibit were those which Americans themselves were making.

UGLY CHINAME EN.
They May Resist the Iaw-They Think There Will be War to Protect Them.

They May Resist the Iaw-They Think
 There wiiI be War to Protect Them.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Collec- tor of Internal Revenue John c. Quinn, in an interview in regard 10 the Chinese registration law, says "The Chinese are acting very sullenly about the law. They refuse to register, and seem to think no actual steps can be taken tc remove them. In fact they laugh at tho idea of the law going into effect. They seem to think the Chinese gov ernment lever will not permit peo- pie to be removed from the United States. The Chinese have stated to me if the United states insists upon their departure a fleet of Chinese battle ships may be expected at the Golden Gate any moment. This in- dicates among the lower classes of coolles there exists determination to resist the law and they expect the SONtEuHloub Uo SO tO ndii II iiCoco- sary, to keep them in this country. If violence is not opposed to the officers when they are called upon to perform their duty, if the law is de- clared constitutional, 1 shall be much surprised. /"
 Inquiry in Chinatown shows the fears of Collector Quinn are we'll grounded. There exists among the Chinese the most sullen disposition, which has been inhamed by circulars issued by Six Companies. Every circular issued contained ad- vice to tho Chinese to resist the law. Yesterday another circular was issued, calling upon the Chinese 10 stand firmly on the ground that they had taken, and prepare for vigorous defense. At tho office of the Six Companies, it was stated this was simply meant for the Chinese not to be- come panic stricken and register on the last day allowed by law, and they will all contribute a quota 10 the fund for employing lawyers 10 fight the law.

CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Money and Ammunitisa Being Raised for
 the S9ige.
STRIKE FOR FREEDOM.
No Confirmation of the Nrws of the Sur
 render of the Insurrectionisis.

KEY WEST, May G.-No coniirlna- !, ton of the news of the surren- der of Sartorions sSsT,,5::isoers ssT,,:ioers nas been ] received from the Spanish authori- ties. A meeting to discuss the sit uation has been held al San Car los Hall, which, for magnitude and display of enthusiasm, never las been surpassed. Jose Marti was the principal speaker. He admitted there were chances for failure of the present movement and explained the causes that may lead to its early abandon. ment, but at the same time set forth the fact that such result can have no serious effect on tho Cuban revo. lutionary party which will work un- til Cuba is free. He was greeted with great applause and followed by other prominent local orators. There was not standing room in the hail. All the addresses delivered were in Spanish. Those in the audi ence representing workmen in all cigar factories on this island vol untarily assessed themselves $l0 each, to be paid immediately. This means between $20,000 and $30,- 900 to be paid into the treasury within three weeks in addition to other heavy assessments they are making constantly. The party has been collecting funds steadily and vigorously for two years, and $l00, ,000, which has been held here in clubs, was shipped Wedn osday night to the central committee in New York. The news of their new $l0 assessment was cabled to-day to all other Cuban colonies. About 2000 mon, including some Ameri- cans, promised to go to Cuba if ser vices were needed.
 A San Antonio, Tex, special says Rafael Daz a wealthy Cuban merchant here, received letter from one of the leaders of the revolutionary party in Cuba, in which he stated all ar engagements are complete for great uprising of Cubans against Spanish rule the first week in June. Expeditions havc been fitted out in Vera Cruz and Tampico, Mexico, Key West, Fla. Mobile, Ala, and New York. Mir. Diaz stated to a correspondent there were 500,000 Cubans ia the United States; that every one of them was enlisted in the movement to their native island. Mr. Diaz said:
 ''I am in constant correspondence with the leaders of the revolution, and am sure we will be victorious. We have all the money, arms and ammunition we need"

Another Cyclone.

FULTON, Ky, May 8. From J. D. Cantler, who arrived to day from Saratoga, meagre particulars are learned of disastrous cyclone that swept over that section of country northeast of here Saturday night between 8 and 9 o'clock. Forest trees in a swath of three miles wide have been twisted off and piled upon one another six and eight deep, making the land over which the storm swept almost impossible. Houses and barns are scattered in all directions, and bedding of every description is dangling from the tops of trees S. As there is no telegraph communication between this point and Saratoga, which is fourteen miles distant, it is inn possible to learn anything regarding the casualties, but it is more than likely con siderable destruction to life re- suited. This is the second vis- itation of the kind 10 the village, the first having occurred last year one month earlier.

Here It Is Again.

The Millennium is, it seems, positively fixed for March 5, 1896. "lf pure mathematics can demon strate anything" says Mr. Baxter, the prophet, "it demonstrates that. " The fact is that the belief in the Millennium, as in some other future events, is pious opinion, which, though it has many converts, has no packers, and reminds one of the de. grces of comparison in a schoolboy's affirmation "WilI you take your oathf" "Yes." "Will you take your dying oaihi" "Yes. D "WilI you bet sixpencei" "No. ."-London News,

Weak Toned Market.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The specu- lative head became cooled through the night, and this morning Wall street walked up 10 the bull ring with a steady nerve and wider reception of things than since the close of yesterdays conflict. The men held the situation at arms length and turned it around for a view at all sides. They see to-day how the foreigners slid in under the smoke of yesterdays engagement and grabbed and made away with q sackfull of dividend payers at Chatham street prices, hence it was general run of active stocks. Both railway and industrials opened strong and from 1-2 10 2 4 per cent. higher. Cordage rose IA to 2 1-2 and then receded to 20 in the first ten minutes. Business, however, in American Sugar, which opened at S1, but fell to v 1-2, and this checked the rising tendency. At 10:15 am. the market was weak in tone, but business is not specially active, and excitement did not touch the high pitch reached Thursday and Friday.

He Had Given Her Something.

A plainly-dressed and simple minded looking young woman had applied for a summons. The mag istrate, desiring to know what money she received for the support of her self and child, asked;
 "Has he (the defendant) ever given you anythingf"
 "Yes," answered the woman, "a black eye month ago, punch in the head after that and ten cents last week. "
 Amid an outburst of laughter tho summons was granted and the ap- plicant left the court, apparently oblivious of the merriment she had occasioned. ed.-Germautown Tele- graph.

 NEW YORK, May G.-The Herald says Dr. Chauneey NJ. Depew found time yesterday to pay bis re- spects to the president and tell what he thinks of the administration S financial policy. "Mr. Cleveland appears to me-" said Mir. Depew, "hke baby with a locomotive. He does not know what to do. He acts like a pedagogue and appears to be endeavoring to educate the majority of his party who are silver men up to the gold standard, while in the meantime the financial standing of the country is going to wreck. Thousands of men have alrC a1y be- come bankrupt because Mr. Clege- land has not had financial horse sense enough to avert the crisis. He has not in his cabinet man who has ever been a good fnancier, nor a man who ever handled any large amounts of money and shaped a financial policy for the government. Mr. Caslisle is an able, clever man, but who ever heard of him as a sound fnancier and a man capable of handling hundreds of millions of dollars, as the men did who were in the Republican administrations from time to time. Secretaries Gresham and Hoke Smith are good lawyers, but they arc not versed in financial matters where SO many millions of dollars are involved. /"
