 Washington, July N.-Among the di- plomats who have strong interest in the situation in Korea is the Russian min ister, Prince Cantacuzene. He Is sum- mering at New London, Conn.,, but came to Washington to-day and saw Secretary Gresham by appointment. It is understood that the prince had re- ceived important dispatches from his government bearing upon the Korean imbroglio which were of such a nature that they had to be communicated to the secretary of state verbally.
 Great Britain and Russia are appar- ently agreed that any settlement of the Chinese-Japanese difficulty must be ef- fected through the good offices of the United States.

DUE TO TARIFF DELAY.
Its Effects Are Disorgsnizing on General :. Busihese.

Its Effects Are Disorgsnixing on General Busihese.
 New York. July N.-Bradstreet's says: Leading influences arsoting the course of trade throughout the United States
 within the week have not resulted in a net sain. Prolonged drought and hot
 winds have damaged corn and other
 crops in Nebrsske and fears are, enter
 tained of like losses ta1ansas. The outlook for the yield in nthespring wheat states Is regarded as unfavorable. which reacts upon country merchants and cheeks demand. Several thousand striking miners in Ohio. Indiana and Alabama refuse to return to work at rates agreed upon in conference. and this continues to depress business throughout tributary regions. Iron, steel and other industries are hampered throughout the Pittsburgh district for lack Of coke. which restricts production in the face of g. mildly improving de- mand and keeps the price of spot besse- mer pig and billets about $1 higher than quotations for future delivery. Continued exports of gold from New York are regarded as an unfavorable able reports as to mercantile collections. More serious in its disorganizing effects on general business is the continued de- lay of tariff legislation.
 The other side reveals reports of mod crate shipment in general trade at larger number of southern cities than last week, improvement in the outlook for the; Columbia river canning pack, increased activity in all leading lines at San Francisco, full and regular fruit shipments east from the Pacific. and an improved demand for iron and steel at St. Louis, Pittsburg and other centers, practically a restoration of freight ser vice, tendency to buy very sparingly for the fall delivery. The spurt in de- mand for wool at Boston and at Phila- delphia is attributed on the one hand to expectation of failure of tsri6 legis- lation and on the other to demand by speculators who believed wool iprices had touched the lowest possible point.
 Trade in shoes, leather. hides land lumber at Boston remains, as for weeks. of moderate dimensions, business in general lines continuing of A,hand-to- mouth character. Bank clearings for six business days ending July 28 aggre- gate $770, ,000, ,000, decrease of about 6 per cent. compared with the preceding week and of about 1S per cent. com pared with the corresponding week in July, 1893. during which period business was much checked by the financial panic.
 In 6 majority of instances prices for staple products show a net decline this week. The advance in Indian corn was due primarily to damage to that crop and the gain in the price for lard fol- lowed. Exports of wheat. United States and Canada, both coasts. for six busi- ness days ending July 08 have increased surprisingly. amounting to 3,S3S. bushels. One year ago. in the fourth week of July. the total export was A. 363, 900 bushels.
 There have been 327 business failures in the United States this week, compar- ed with 4S9 in the fourth week of July last year.
 There were S2 business failures re- ported from the Dominion for the week against a. year ago. <,

Paris. July H.-The trial of Cornelius Herz, the Panama wire-puller, who has long been in England, was in progress before the correctional tribunal to-day. Herz's lawyer read certificates from five English physicians stating that Herz's health was too poor to allow of his presence in court. The prosecutor contended that Herz was shamming.
 The court pronounced Herz to be a defaulter and heard witnesses. N. Im- bert. liquidator of Baron de Reinaoh, testified to numerous evidences of black mall on Herz's part, and the prosecutor demanded the maximum penalty. Judg- ment was deferred.

WE'RE BOUND TO PLAY POKER.
Men Out of Cash Put Up The
Bxnins For Stakes.


Newspaper Men Out of Cash Put Up Theii
Brains For Stakes.
Poker has been played with every.
thing from pea beans to hundred dol.
lar bill, but perhaps the most curious
commodity that was ever passed about
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among a party of newspaper men.
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly if all
hands INDUCED in the national game.
Every one was willing. but when an 40
count of stock was taken it was disoov-
cred that there was only about $3.50 In
the crowd, and every one objected to
playing for wind" After little dis
cussion some one had an idea, which he
put in these words: Lets appoint a
committee Of two as judges; then for an
hour let us each sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper. Every
thing that the committee agrees upon as
being good enough to be printed shall be
accepted as cash and can be paid in as
equivalent for a stack of chips"
This idea met with instant favor. and
for an hour or more nothing could be
heard In that room but silence. At the
end Of that time each one produced his
quota of alleged interesting stories, and
the committee to which it was submit
ted, reading it all with a lenient eye,
passed nearly the whole lot.
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle Of men opening
jackpots for quarter Of column and
anteing with "stick," with fixed
limit of a column, including the head.

An Eccentric Character.

It was at night, when the lower part
Of Broadway was as silent as village
street. A lone cab was crawling along,
its driver comfortably hunched forward
smoking cigar. Suddenly there was q
crash, the sharp rattle of broken glass
ON the pavement, and a leg protruded
through one of the cab windows. The
few pedestrians and one policeman who
heard and saw were startled, and the
observing Sun man had dismal forebod-
ings of having to go back to the office
and write a story about a mystery OF
possibly the tragedy of Broadway cab.
But the driver remained comfortably
hunched, did not miss puff of his ci-
gar, and the horse logged On until the
policeman motioned to the driver to stop.
"What's all this?' he asked.
cts all right, answered the driver.
"But let's have look, said the off,
Ger.
He peered into the cab, which con-
tanned but one person, a man, who, OBJ
serving the officer, remarked in any
thing but tragic, in fact, in the friend
lest of tones:
!" 'F'ser, les all have 'nozzer.
"Drive on" said the policeman and
added, but don't want any more Of
this cab window smashing on Broad
way"
"He can't smash any more" the
driver said, gathering up his reins. "He
smashed the left door glass at Duane,
the front glass at Howard and the right
door glass here at Grand. He's all
right. He does this about once month. I"
"G'ni', 'f'ser,' said the fare.
"Good night, SIR" replied the off,

ing 5000. OF course these returns are
largely from the villages, and the back
districts may cut down this proportion,
butt now looks as If it were not i'm
possible that Nelson's vote would equal
that of Owen and Becker combined.
Becker has been numerically cut, and
contrary to expectation the Democratic
defection-is largely going to Nelson.
Conservative estimates place Nelson's
plurality at $4,000. Judge Collins cleo
ton is assured.
Dunn's election for auditor over
Bierman is also claimed.
The congressional delegation viii un-
doubtedly be sohdly Republican. Taw-
ney win be elected by 5000 or more;
McCleary, by not less than 5000; Heat
wole, by 2. 500; Kiefer, by 1000; Fletcher,
by as many; Towne's friends are
claiming not less than 5000. and Eddy's
election is safe. The legislature is Re-
publican, of course. and by the largest
majority of recent years ON joint ballot.
The Globe (Dem.) comedies the cleo
ton Of the entire Republican state
ticket. with the possible exception of
Collins for associate justice, and the
entire Republican delegation in con.
gress. with the exception Of Heatwole
in the Ti.irl district. These it classes
as doubtful.
Later returns, however, assure the
election of Judge Collins, and Heatwole
is victorious for congress in the Third
district.

Cardinal Gibbons on Suffrage

Cardinal Gibbons, in recent sermon
at the Baltimore cathedral, said on the
question Of woman suffrage:
The church follows the teachings of
st. Paul, that woman is equal to man,
when he declares that God makes no
distinction as to nationality, race or
sex. It seems to me fearful to contem-
plate what would have been the con-
dition of society today if it had not been
for the restraining, sanctifying and pu-
fifying influence Of woman. Woman
does not today exercise the right of suf-
frage. She cannot vote, and am heart
ily glad of it, hope the day will never
come when she can vote, and If the
right Is granted her I hope she will re-
greet 1t, even though there are some mis-
guided women who think they want it.
Rest assured, II woman entered politics,
abe would be sure to carry away with
her some Of the mud and dirt Of the po-
Ntioal contact. She, too, would lose
some Of the Influence which she now

It was known In the United States
marshal's Office at Nashville that Wild
cat whisky was coming down the Cum

Office, and therefore was determined to
do his duty, which. of course, was to
see that the illicit distilleries, no mat

and that the distillers should be brought
to justice. His predecessors In offloe had
been likewise determined and had sent
brave men to the mountains, but whis-
Ky had continued to como down the

shall, Captain hayes, an old Confsdsr-

when the boys found out that he really
wanted them to quit they would do 30.
He understood them, he know their ma
lures, their impulsiveness and their dis
position to yield to persuasion. So he
sent a deputy and four men to tell the
boys to quit. One night about q week

the marshal himself went to the door.
