ENGLAND's GREAT ENEMY.

The one formidable enemy of Great
Britain is Russia. The recognition of
this obvious truth does not of itself in
volve any censure. 1t is the result of a
natural law which has been repeated
and emphatically recognized by the Gov
ernments of India and Russia, as well
as by our military and naval depart
ments. To fancy that the two empires
can thrive and develope in accord and
amity is to trust that the eggs may be
Matched and the chickens to grow up
to hens estate without ever breaking
the she'll Russia's appetite for land is
Unsuitable as Erysichthon's hunger for
food.
Even Russia's radical friends in Eng
land candidly admit that it is hopeless to
attempt to induce her to content herself
with her present frontiers in the East.
And for the best of possible reasons, she
has cast her bread upon the waters, and
is determined to find 1t after not too
many days. During the last forty years
she has annexed 100000 square miles and
500 600 inhabttants-a barren conquest,
which in ten years Qrom 1858 to 1879
resulted in a deficit of no less than 67,-
O00, 600 rubles In this new territory there
are vast desolate stretches of wilderness
where, on a march of 437 miles, camels
can only twice get water to drink. Now
is it conceivable that Russia should
souander money and blood for such a
ruinous possession unless she regarded
it as the stepping stone to something
else ?-Fortnightly Review.

W. G. T. q. CONVENTION.
Large Attendance Expected at Cieve-
Iand-A Crusade Affair.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. IA, 1884,
The annual convention of the w. c. T.U.
opens in this city in Music Hall Friday
morning and indications point to the
largest attendance and most enthus1-
astic meeting in the history of the union.
President Frances Willard and many
other women of national reputation in
Christian Temperance work have al
ready arrived.
The union being the outgrowth of the
crusade which occurred twenty-one years
ago, the event will be largely crusade
convention, paying special honor to that
movement. The leaders of it, whether at
tending as delegates or visitors, will be
honored with seats on the PLATFORM. one
of the dominating thoughts OF tne union
at the present time is social purity, ana
that will receive a large share OF the at
tention of the convention. Enorts VIII pc
made to extend the work in every pos
sible way It is the intention to establish
an equal standard of purity for men ana
women. Men known to be pronigates ere
to be worked against If they seek puplc
honors, and will not be recognized IN So
ciety The Y's have already rule that
they will not be seen with men who i've
unclean lives. The drink habit IS TO pc
considered scientifically. The relation OF
cooking and drink is a prominent feature
for discussion. Physical culture, narcot-
les and cigarettes will also be carefully
one of the difficulties met with by
members of the union is the prejudice
against them among foreigners The
union will now endeavor to overcome
this feeling by changing the foreigners
noint of view, getting them to see that
Americans are for America, and that
they, the foreigners, are here not to
work out the problems of their own
country but for the maintenance OF
American institutions.

INDIAN PROGRESS.

nnsed to oklahoma.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. A. 1884,
Congressman Little returned yesterday
from the Indian Territory, where he
went with Congressman McRae and
Senators Jones and Berry to consult
with the Dawes Commission in regard
to the question of annexation or State
hood. A convention was held at South
McAlester Saturday night, and much en-
thusiasm was manifested.
Judge Little said yesterday:-"The au-
dience that night would be surprise
to an Eastern man, who suppeses the
Indians to be still uncivilized. A more
intelligent and genteel people could not
be found anywhere. All are anxious
for Statehood, and the time is ripe for
a change. 1t is probable the Dawes
Commission will recommend terrltofial
government, which will necessitate the
abrogation of existing treaties and the
allotment of the lands in severaity' with
ultimate Statehood in view. AS 1t is
now. the suuaw men are the ruling ele-
ment, and the annuities of the govern
ment are absorbed by them before they
reach the lower cases which sufter
correspondingly. .
s'The present mode of government is
very unsatisfactory, and in great meas

captain and crew of the Alaska whaling

case the story is true, official reports
from the consuls were forwarded by
the same steamer and will reach the
Department about the end of this week.
If, upon investigation, the statements

Russian Government will be called upon

The Election of Is72 Just as had as
This Years.


This Years.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, 1S94.-A glance
over the Congressional Directories for
the Forty-third and Fourty-fourth Con-
crosses shows that the political revulsion
between the years 1872 and 1874 was almost
as great as that between the years 1882
and 1894 The liberal Republican move
rnent of 1884, led to the selection of
Horace Greeley for President and the en-
dorsement of that nomination by the
Democratic party. But at the election
which followed Grant carried all but six
of the thirty-seven states. The House OF
Representatives which was chosen at the
same time, contained 81 Democrats and
Liberal Republicans and 1913 Republicans,
the Republicans thus having more than
two-thirds of the whole number Two
years later, when the Forty-fourth Con-
gress was chosen, the Republicans carried
only about dozen states and the House
of Representative comprlsedl04 Repub-
licans and 1873 Democrats, Conservatives
and -monopolists. The conditions
were thus almost exactly reversed, the
Democrats gaining 81 seats and securing
a two-thirds majority. At that time the
House was composed of 292 members
Now it numbers 356. Relatively, there
fore, the oVerturning twenty years ago
was as great as the one experienced last
week.
Among the members. elected to Con-
gress in 1874 were David T. Wilber Repl
from the goth New York; L. Danford
(Rep) from the 18th Ohio district, and
Richard Mccormick (Rep.), delegate from
Arizona. Each of these men have been
reelected in 1894, after an absence of
twenty years. Mr.. Mccormick comes
back as the representative. from the
First New York district. Mr.. Stephen
B. Elkins was the delegate from New
Mexico in the 44th Congress; he is ex-
pected to succeed Hon. ]. NJ. Camden as
Senator from West Virginia after the
fourth of March next.

THIRTEEN DAYS AT THa PUMPS

NEW YORK, Nov IA. 1S94.-The fine
Nova Scotia bark, Kate It. Troop, Cap

from Singapore, brought in Captain
Trapani, his brother and ten men, crew
of the Genoa bark, Torquato, which
was abandoned at sea November Z, in
lat. 1922, long. 70.46. The Torquato left
Genoa on August IS, with cargo of
general merchandise for this port. Al
most from the start bad weather was
experienced and gales of wind were en-
countered from almost every point of
the compass. Finally, on October 26. a
hurricane from S. e. struck the vessel

The Popular Vote of 1891
Has Taught Him Nothing
About the Tariff.
BIG HOWL FOR M'KINLEY
His Bill Representative of the Re-
publican ldea-Eyil Silver
PrOgnostications.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, 1S94.-Senator
Sherman repudiates the utterance OF
statements as to the Mckinley law at
tributed to him in an interview publish
ed in a New York newspaper. Speaking
to United Press reporter today he
said:-"There is nothing in my state
ment 1 have made about the election
or the Mckinley act that can be con-
strued in any way as reflection upon
the distinguished Republican whose
name the act bears
"on the contrary. I look upon the re-
cent elections as an endorsement Of
the general protective policy of the
Republican party. and the Mckinley act
is the best expression of that policy this
country has ever seen. 1t is perhaps
not perfect, few tariff bills are, but its
whole tenor and purpose must meet the
sanction and approval of Republicans.
When it comes TO the question of sched-
ules, the details of such a measure, there
may be an honest difference of opinion
as to how high or how low certain rates
should be placed.
II WAS REPRESENTATIVE
"There were items in the Republican
act upon which some thought the duty
was too high, but every man in that
great party considered the Mckinley act.
as a whole, as representative of the
general policy of the party that enacted
1t into law. The late election must just
ly. therefore, be accepted as q general
endorsement of the principles of the
Mckinley act and of Republican ideas
and policies, and a rebulke to the mo-
| tives that actuates the party now domi-
nant in national affairs"
Referring to the alleged factional
trouble in Ohio and Governor McKin-
ley's candidacy for the Presidency. il
such it can be called. Mr.. Sherman
said
81 did net say one word against Gov
erner Mckinley and the part he has
taken in this campaign Much credit
| has been given him and he deserves
| much For myself, I would gladly vote
for him as my party's candidate for
President"
SILVER SPHINX.
When asked about the possibilities of
| silver legislation during the forthcoming
session of Congress, Mr.. Sherman ex-
pressed his belief that no serious effort
would be made to pass a free coinage
bill. STILL" continued he, zone can
hardly tell what to expect. Events have
transpired since adjournment that may
| cause much pressure in that direction.
The silver men in this Congress are
| stronger just now than they have been
in the past, and stronger, as 1 view it,
| than they will be in the future. The
desire to force this issue and the fur
ther wish, possibly to embarrass the
President by compelling him to veto a
free coinage BILL may be potent fac
tor in controlling legislation"

Baseball Magnates Meet in New

NEW YORK, Nov IA, 1894.-The base
ball magnates of the National League
gathered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning to hold their annual fall meet
ing. There was full representation of
all the clubs, each of which had at
least one and a number more than one
delegate Much important business was
slated for transaction The delegates
who had arrived in the city before noon
today and who were scattered through
the various hotels, were:-President N.
E. Young of Washington, w. w. K

T. Brush of Cincinnati, j. George Ruck-

The delegates disavow any belief in
the possibility of the formation and sue

The Directors of the League met at ten
oclock to conduct some regular routine
business, such as passing in bills and Of
Baltimore Club, etc. Messrs. Young,

| were present They continued in session
| for several hours and then adjourned.
The League meeting was then called to

Before the Directors meeting Presi-
| dent Young was seen and questioned as
to the plans for the meeting. He Said:>
"Only regular routine business will be
| transacted. AS to an effort to make the
| League an eight club one, do not see
| how that can be done. Our contract
requires that it continue with twelve
clubs, and unless a club drops out of its
own accord we cannot force it out.
Everybody agrees that an eight club cir
| cult would be a great improvement, but
everyone of the twelve clubs now in the
League wants to be one of the eight
| clubs chosen"
"As to this talk about four of the
| clubs going into the Association, l
| know nothing, and give the rumor no
| credence. The Association Is just talk,
| only exists on paper, and so such a
move is an impossibility at present.
"Will an effort be made to block the
formation of the new Association"
''Well, I don't see why it should. We
have no interest in or business with
| the new organization and do not recog-
4 nize its existence as yet, so why should
| we bother about it?''
! Me ssrs. Byrne and Hart conceded in
| their opinions on the association with
| President Young. Both declared the
| prospects of an eight club circuit to be
yery poor indeed, much as they them
