The GoxcrnmentLoan

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The success
of the government loan now appears to
be assured. Whether an actual sypdi-
cate to bid for the entire block of $50,
100000 in bonds has been formed is still
indefinite, but that q combination OF
banks, foreign banking houses and
trust companies have already practical
ly underwritten the loan, was open talk
in Wall Street circles this morning.
This combination is understood to be
the result of the multitude of private
conferences held within the week at
the office of President John A Stewart,
of the United States Trust Company
From a source very close to Mr.
Stewart, an opinion was obtained that
the subscriptions would exceed 800,
100000. The combination formed by
Mr.. Stewart, it is thought, will put in
bids a shade under three per cent
basis and it is reported that the gold
furnished by the commission to pay fol
the bonds will be obtained from sources
other than the sub-Treasury.

SOCIETY WOMEN SuMMoNED.-Hunt

SOCIETY WOMEN SUMMoNED.-Hunt-
ington, w. Va. is in state of excitement
over the action of Judge Harvey, who
has issued rules for dozen leading
society women to make them come into
court and testify as to the character
of a social favorite. Captain William
Smith and his handsome young wife,
member of the most exclusive set,
separated few weeks ago, she taking
their baby. Smith brought suit for
damages against Samuel Swain, a
wealthy Indiana gas operator, and an
uncle of his wife: asking $4,000
damages for enticing his wife away.
He got out writ of habeas corpus to
gain possession of his child, alleging
that his wife is not morally fit to have
her, and summoned thirty social leaders
to prove it. Twelve of these women
left town to escape going to court, but
constables have been sent after them,
and Judge Harvey will imprison the
recalcitrants. The evidence is expect
ed to be extremely sensational.

MIR. CLEvE1AND's proposed plan o.

MR.. CLEvELAND's proposed plan OF
enlarging the scope of the civil service
law so as to take in every officer OF the
government except the President ana
the members OF his cabinet and OF the
civil service commission, would be per-
feet if it were so extended as to include
them also. The higher the office, GER
tainly the more necessary the compe-
tency of its occupant. There is no
doubt of the truth of the statement that
examining boards ask applicants for
the lowest grade clerkships in the gov
eminent departments at Washington
questions which none of those now fill
ing the offices the President would ex-
clude from the operation of the civil
service law could answer satisfactorily.
The knowledge of the fact that appli-
cants for positions in the federal service
have to stand such tom-fool examlna'
ton had no little to do with the recent
prodigious slump in the democratic
vote.

Bread in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, No., Nov. 2S.-Every
flour mill in this city has closed down
for an indefinite period. The reason
given by the millers is that the market
is Quilted with flour and suffering from
over.production. A different view OF
the situation is taken by local dealers
who point to the fact that the mills are
suddenly closed at a time when the
question of cheaper bread is being Wig
orously agitated by the newspapers. So
much fraud in the sale of bread has
been discovered That the City Council
is considering measure to compel
dealers to sell bread by weight.

Endangered br Natural Gas

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Nov. 29.-By
mistake yesterday the natural gas was
given high pressure in the low pressure
mains, and at midnight it was discov-
cred that over 500 stoves and heaters in
all parts of the city were melting I'M
der the intense heat, and many build
ings were igniting. Bells were rung,
whistles sounded and the citizens
aroused to discover themselves in the
midst of o general fire. The flow of
gas was arrested and only three houses
burned. If the alarm had been twenty
minutes later no power could have
saved the city from total humiliation.

A STUFFED ESlPERoR.-One of the
most remarkable stuffed skins on rec.
ord was that of Valerian, Emperor Of
Rome, who was taken prisoner and al
terward kept in chains by Sapor, King
of Persia. He was either killed in o
tumult or by order of his conqueror,
who was perhaps fearful of losing his
valuable living trophy, in the year 269.
The body of the dead emperor was
treated with no more delicacy than
when it had held the spark of a living
one. 1t was skinned, the hide, after
being tanned, was stuffed, painted red,
and suspended in the chief temple Of
the capital. 1t remained there for
many years, and was the popular spec
tacle for holiday makers aud visitors
from the country. But it was put to
more important ends than this; it was
made diplomatic engine of much sig
niGcance and efficiency. In after times
it often happened that the Roman en-
voys at the Persian court had misun-
derstandings, more or less serious, with
the government to which they were
temporarily accredited. When these
ambassadors from Rome grew arrogant
in their demands, it was the custom to
conduct them into the presence of the
stuffed skin of the old ex-emperor Of
Rome, where they were asked if hui
mility did not become them at sight of
such a spectacle.-HarJord Courant.

rHE CHINESE WAR.

The chief of the imperial customs at
Tien-Tsin, Da Ting, who was recently
summoned to Pekin in order to confer
with the government as to ways and
means for raising money for the war,
has left for Japan in order to arrange
terms of peace.
Reliable information received at Tien
Tsin from Port Arthur shows that the
first attack Of the japanese drove in
the Chinese outposts. Three other at
tacks were subsequently made, but in
each case the japanese were repulsed.
Heavy and incessant firing has been
going on since noon Tuesday. The ia
panese are landing additional troops.
They warned British vessel to clear,
as their fleet intended to lombard the
forts Wednesday.
A special correspondent at Port Ar
thur, writing from there describes the
place as being city of the dead. The
streets are empty, and only soldiers are
to be seen in the houses. The cores
pendent estimates that 10000 superior
northern troops are defending Port
Arthur, and that they have plenty OF
ammunition. He adds that the fortress
is impregnable if defended, and that
the garrison has provisions enough to
last six weeks.
The Chinese have lost the finest and
most powerful vessel of their navy
the great battleship Chen Yuen-which
stood the brunt of the fighting at Yalu.
The news came to the Navy Depart
ment at Washington yesterday. 1t
states that the Chen Yuen, in leaving
Wei-Hai-W Wei harbor on the 18th inst,
accidently struck q torpedo. She was
beached, but was rendered useless for
lack of docking facilities. In despair at
the catastrophe, the commander, Com
modore Lin, committed suicide.
Tim Chen Yuen was magnificent
fighting machine, very much like the
battleship Maine. She was built in
Europe in 1852, and was Z ,430 tons dis
placement.
1t would appear from the brief state
ment OF facts in the cablegram that the
ship fell victim to one of the torpe-
does, planted by the Chinese them
selves to guard the entrance to Wei
Hai-Wei, which was the last of the
great naval strongholds of the empire,
save Port Arthur, now lettering to its
fall.
A dispatch from Shanghai states that
Count Oyama's army is marching north

NOTHING IS more common nowadays
than newspaper statements to the effect
that the President and members of his
cabinet ore hard at work, the former
preparing his message and the latter
their reports to Congress. But nothing
could be more erroneous. Neither the
President nor any of his cabinet officers
is ever "hard at work" on any such
matters. Their subordinates may be,
but they never are. They may suggest
TO the former certain ideas of their own
or,more probably, other peoples minds,
in respect of such work, but, as to do
ing it themselves, no such thought ever
entered their heads.

Keith, of Fauquier R. II. Cardwell. of
Hanover ; John W. Reilly, of Halifax !;
George M. Harrison, of Augusta, and
John 81. Buchanan, of Washington, will
constitute the court.
In view of his long and honorable
service on the bench, most of the law
yers think Judge Keith will be made
president of the court. Judge Cardwell
will probably be elected resident judge.
It ia said that he will not accept the
position il its duties will necessitate 8
removal of his family to Richmond.
The Judge has most comfortable
home in Hanover, and can visit the city
daily to hear any motions that may be
made in vacation. Thus it is thought
by many that he may serve as resident
iuage without actually residing in the
city.
