The Mosquito In England.

1t will be new to many readers that the
mosquitoes now firmly established in Lon
don. 1t is to be found in certain laEge
hotels which are the resort of visitors com
ing from the continent, and the supply.
seems to be maintained by constant i'm
portations from abroad. Visitors who are
familiar with the noise and bite OF the mos
quito assert that it is thetru pest in it's
worst form, and there is no reason for
doubling their experiences. g'- ST.
n ludiCrous mistake in identity on this
point recently occurred at IL large colliery,
in the north of England The men in dis
tant part of the mine complained that the
workings We're full OF mosquitoes and
refused to enter the gallery. AS it takes
something worse than u mosquito to fright
en- collier, the manager went down to eX-
plore and discovered, much to his amaze
ment, that the workings were full of huge
hornetlike, yellow BANDED; flies, whose lar
vac We're Matching out from the wooden
props which supported the roof in the

the bite of the supposed mosquitoes"
would, by analogy, be something veryter-

Tslleyrand md Hamilton.

In.lt94 Talleyrand, ordered to- leave Eng
land and unable to return to srance, Wis
tied the United States. His impressions OF
the country and government were given in
a long letter printed in France some years
ago and were interesting as the views of a
shrewd observer and keen judge of men
1t has never been supposed TINT he took any
part in the course of events in America at
that time, or that his relations with Ham
1lton-7-a man quite as individual as him
self-were of any but social and friendly
nature. Amanuscript among the Hamilton
papers, however, connects Talleyrand with
one of the incidents of Washington's ad-
ministration. an incident as puzzling as it
was interesting-the removal of Edmund
Randolph. ........
Dir, Conway has given the laymans view
of the matter. and guided partly by senti-
ment has sought to defend Randolph Mt the
expense even of the consistency of every
person connected with the affair 1t would
appear that Hamilton laid the intercepted
dispatch of FaSchet before Talleyrand and
asked his opinion. The result was a state
ment or critique in Talleyrand's own hand,
but unsigned 1t is thus the opinion of a
trained diplomat and there is no reason
for surprising that it was biased against
Randolph. If this opinion reached Wash
mgton, 1T is not strange that he should have
cut loose from Randolph, and certainly the
Frenchman's opinion makes short work
with the skillfully woven but inadequate
defense of Randolph made by Mr. Conway.

Starch Versus Heat.

There is a warm place in the hearts of his
fellow Americans for any Statesman who
shall secure the adoption of permanent
internal revenue tax of say SO pound on
starch in all forms not edible. A device of
this sort has driven the Louisiana lottery
out of business, and it is an open question
whether starch as used in clothing, at least
mems clothing, is not a more subtle per-
vading and pernicious evil than lottery
tickets. From an aesthetic point of view it
is, of course, a cardinal sin for which no
penance is in this life adequate. From the
moralist's point of view the offense is near
ly as great, for the sum of wickedness, su-
perinduced by starched linen through the
irritation of the nerves when the linen is
stiff and the utter loss of self respect and
self control when the linen is broken
down" by the internal heats of our mex
cusable climate, is not easily calculated
Add to this the proved hygienic ills due
to clothing the human form, and especially
the important organs of the thorax and
the sensitive nerves in the region of the
neck, in fabrics that alternate between
rigidity and pulpy humidity, and the in
herent unworthiness of starch for the use
of intelligent human beings is established.

GRESHAM's DANDER UP.

Turkey Must Make Prompt Reparation for
Wrongs Inflicted on Americans.
WASHINGTON. April THE United States
has taken vigorous action in regard to the
outrages on American citizens In the Tur-
kish dominions. at MarsovaD, and the vio-
lations of the United States legation. The
facts of tho case are as follows: On tho
10th of January last number of seditious
placards were distributed throughout the
region of Marsovan and Caisare. in the
center of Asia Minor. On account OF al
legged seditious movements existing among
the Armenians the Turkish authorities as.
cribed the authorship of these placards to
the students of Anotoba College, the main
educational institution of Marsovan. On tbs
night of the Cd of February the girls semi
nary of this institution was fired and burned
to the ground. There was strong circum-
stan:ial evidence to show that this was
done with the full knowledge. if not by the
direct consent, of the Turkish officials.
The conditions of the Americans in that
place became so critical that the United
States consul, Mia A. Jewett. was dis
patched thither from Sivas. and the Ameri-
cans In that district have been under his
protection ever since. Dispatches passing
between Minister Thompson and Consul
Jewett at MarsOyan have been repeatedly
violated and formal complaint of this fact
has been made by the American minister to
the Su blime Porte. Demands for redress
made to the Turkish authorities were met
by counter demands on their side that the
alleged sedItious movements OF the Ameri-
can students should first be investigated
and determined upon before any efforts
were made TO discover the perpetrators Of
the outrages com planned of.
Secretary Gresham has cabled to Minis
ter Thompson, at COnstantinople, q strong
expression of the Presidents views on the
outrage and demanding. not only prompt
reparatiOn for the burned seminary. but
the punishment of all parties found guilty
in the matter. Minister Thompson is in
structed that no alleged prior acts of stu
dents are 10 affect the rights of this gov.
ernment IN the premises. Minister Thomp-
son Is charged to give renewed attention to
the matter and TO dispatch a special mes
senger. If necessary, to Consul Jewett and
see TO the inviolsbility of official correspond
ence. The minister is to act promptly and
ADVISE the department by cable. No effort
is TO be relaxed in securing the
legal rights of our citizens In Turkey. 1t
is understood to be the policy OF the United
States TO make this Marsoyan incident o
test case in our relations with Turkey.
There are at the present time more than
the Turkish empire who have the manage
meDt of property to the value of over
g. 100000. Further advices from Mr..
THOMPSON arc looked for very shortly.
There are no additional facts relating to
the assault upon q United States consulate
of the State Department Ofh hcials to-dsy.
Efforts to locate the scene of the trouble
have thus far been fruitless. The cablo
company report that the name of the place
that there was no dropping out in trans
mission.

DECLARED mo FIGHT"
The Bowen Burke mill" Stopped at the End
of the One e-Hnndred.and.Tenth Round.

NEW ORLEANS, April The Bowen
Burke fight was stopped early this morn
Ing. in the one-hundred and-tenth rouno, by
the referee. who declared it no contest.
There was very little fighting done after
the ninety-tbird round. Bowen, from that
time until the finish, was the aggressOr
whenever there was any fighting to be
done. He landed now and then on Burke's
body. but was unable to do any damage.
Burke's hands were practically useless,
and he only prodded OF Bowen, TO keep
him guessing, aud not with the belief that
he could knock the local man out. In the
one hundred and-hfth round Bowen fell
heavily from the momentum of his own
blow. but did not hurt himself. In
response TO the vehement demands
of the crowd referee Duffy In the oDe-hun-
dredth- and-eighth round announced that
II nothing was done III the three sncceed-
ing rounds he would stop the fight aud de-
clare 1t no contest. This had the etfect of
making both men extremely cautious, and
Bowen could not summon up sntficient
courage TO force the fighting.
At the end of the one-hundred. and
tenth round Duty stopped the light and de-
clared IL no contest. Bowsn protested, but
when he left the ring. Burke was badly
punished about the body. apparently. and
some of the bones in both his hands. he
said. were broken. His wrists were much
sw oolen and he suffered considerable pain.
He wants 10 tight Bowen again. but Presi-
dent Dickson says his club will not make q
new match.

The speech begun by Mr. doar, yester-
amendment for the popular election of
Senators of the United states was con-
cluded by him to-day. 1t was scholarly,

Mr.. Palmer In favor of the proposed amend
ment, recalled the names of the men whom
the State of Illinois has sent to the Senate
douglas, Shields. Davis. Logall and Gull
lom-and asked whether popular elections
would have improved on these. There re-
mained to be considered. Mr.. Hoar said.
the Senator himself Mr.. Palmerl, from
whose autobiography he quoted this
sentence:
After a career OF brilliant civil and military
service. and after having been tried tor four
years In the office OF Governor. 10 which he was
elected by the people, he was nominated as Gov
ernor again in 1888.
"And that ungrateful people," Mr.. Hoar
continued, defeated hun by majority or
81, 600 on the great popular vote. And then
he was elected to the Senate by the Legis-
lature. If the Senator from Illinois means
TO affirm that this, tho latest result or
choosing Senators In Illinois by the Legis.
laturs, rs unsatisfactory to the people. L
think that all of rs on both sides OF this
chamber who know the great value OF bis
services must be permitted most respect
fully to dissent from it,"
In conclusion Mr.. Hoar spoke of some of
the great men who have shed lustre on the
Senate-Webster, Clay. Calhoun. Sumner
and Seward. We do not. ne said. excel,
and it may be We do not equal other peO-
pie in arms. But the greatest victories of
constitutional liberty since the world be-
gan are those whose battle ground has been

of q free people. After an executive ses-
sion the Senate adjourned till to- morrow.

FREE LOVE COMMUNITY,
Nest Of Evil.Doers Unearthed Near Wooster,

CLEVELAND, o., April7.-A free love com.
munity has been brought to light near
Wooster. o.. by one of Wayne county's
women preachers, Rev. Mrs. Ellen Ann
Olmstead. She. by her zeal, brought out
from o number of her female parishioners
the startling statement that they had
been believers In and practiced the
doctrine of FREQ love. These state
ments the female preacher kept to
herself until within the last few
days. when they leaked ont through
public confession by the former pastor,
who is IMPLICATED. He made it after hear.
ing sermon by Mrs. Olmstead in the
United Brethren Church. at Madisonburg,
four miles north of Wooster, last Sunday
evening. The fact has since oeen brought
ont that a number of we'll to-do farmers re-
siding In the village and in SmithvilIe
have foryears been believers in the doctrine
of miscellaneous love. not only wives and
husbands being implicated, but maiden
women and in one case daughter and her
mother.
