The Manchester Market.

Manchester, Eng, Aug 1.-THE posi-
ton of the market during theaweek was
unchanged, which means that matters
are gradually approaching the point
where overprodution and record breaking
low prices must induce drastic remedies.
Large exports are apparently I'M
able TO absorb the output
therefore there are always
needy sellers, who are ready TO accept the
best offers going The indications are
that the Indian markets are becoming
glutted; offers at low limits were fairly
numerous, especially from Calcutta
Further east little was doing. The minor
markets, like South America and the Le-
want, were rather more active. Yarns
continued TO sell slowly as needed by
weavers, generally at q loss. Neither
buyers nor sellers were anxious to do for
ward business. The spinning margin was
rendered worse by the sitter prices of
cotton. The desultory stoppage Of ma
chinery is considered an insufficient rem
edy, but attempts at concerted action on
a large scale are still fruitless.

noon Attorney General Moloney appeared
in the Office of the circuit clerk of Cook
county and fled petition covering sixty
pages of type written legal cap for bill
in equity against the Pullman Palace Car
Company, calling upon it to show cause
why it should not be prohibited from
further doing business under the laws Of
the state. The petition sets forth that it
has violated the franchise conferred upon
II by the state In numerous particulars
and lays stress upon the fact that it is
conducting hotel business and a real
estate business at Pullman without war
rant of law. The petition is said to be
one of the strongest that has so far been
drawn by the attorney general in his cru
SADIE against trusts and corporations
The petition filed by Attorney General
Moloney asks for leave to file a writ of
quo warranto against the Pullman com.
pany, and it will be called upon To show
cause why the charter granted it by the
state, under which it is operating its
business should not be declared void. 1t
is charged by the attorney general in
explicit language that the Pullman COM
pany is doing score and one things in its
separate capacity that it is not authorized
or empowered to do. Its right TO own
and maintain the big Pullman building
on the lake front, near which the depart
ment Of the Missouri of the United States
army is located, is directly attacked. 1t
is further charged that in violation of
law, the Pullman company is operat-
ing various enterprises, including
theaters, hotels water works, electric
light plants and gas works that it is con-
Quoting real estate enterprises by build
ing, owning, leasing and renting dwelling
houses, and that by engaging in one or
all of these enterprises, it is usurping

cludes as follows:
The attorney general for and in be-
half of the people of the state of Illinois
prays the court here for leave to file an
information in the shape of a quo war

RUSSIAN VIEWS OF THE DEVIL
'tDog's Senility'' in Children Cured
by Passing Them Into the Oven.
From the London Telegraph.

from the LONDON Telegraph.
Folk lore is full of alarming stories
about encounters with the Cunning
One," who assumes no end of shapes and
forms in order to effect his wicked pur-
poses. In children whom he wishes to
destroy, for instance, he appears in the
fanciful form of dogs senility.''
A short time ago the Odessa News and
The Graschdanin chronicled a case in
point which has far more of tragedy than
of comedy in it. A postoffice employee had
boy who fell i'll and died, and, as the
doctors certificate attributed his death
TO scarlaIina," two sanitary officers
were sent to the house to disinfect it.
They entered into conversation with the
mother of the child, who told them the
story of it's illness.
Two long years I suffered with my
poor little darling" she remarked. 1T
had not scarlatiua all that timer asked
the sanitary man. ooh! no; it had

against HIMSELF A wise woman not
far from here advised me to try the only
thing that could have helped, and even
that was useless, because when we heard
of it it was too late"
What was that" "Well, we heated
the oven there and got it ready just as if
we were going to bake black bread. Then
we made a second little fire before the
oven door. When this was done we
strapped the child to the shovel. just like
a piece of dough, you know, only taking
care that he shouldn't get uneasy and fall
of, and then we put it over the second
fire into the oven and then drew him out.
One of the two women who we're present
had to call out each time, What are you

OF INTEREST TO SPORTS.
A Noted Old h entuoky Racing Club
Gives Up the Ghost.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 11.-To-day the
old Louisville Jockey Club, which has
been at the head Of racing in the south
for twenty years, practically passed out
of existence.
Assignee Osburn accepted the only bid
made, that Of $1,000 by the New Louis
vile Jockey Club, which will pay of all
debts of the club except those for salary
to Col. Clark, and this he will sacrifice in
the interest of the new organization. A
meeting of those interested in the new
club will be held next week, and a
board of directors and other officers will
be elected. Col. Clark will continue to
act as president, presiding Judge, and
probably as the clubs representative in
the turf congress. The derby distance
will probably be cut to one mile and a
quarter, and changes will be made in the
stake list.

A Mexican Bull Fight was billed to

the great national sport of that country,

Securing a seat in the grand stand over
looking the circular arena where man
met beast to test their strength and
agility in mortal combat, a splendid view
of the contest was obtained. One pen
was filled with wild horses, fresh from
the range. and in another several noble
specimens of the Mexican range, big,
black bulls, were kept From this pen

was greeted with a storm of applause. A
little after O'Clock the bugle sounded
the band struck up lively air the main
gate was thrown open, and two horsemen,
decked out in gay native apparel, followed
by the five matadors, dressed in still gayer
attire, fittingly representing the brave
knights Of old, for they were indeed mag
nitcent specimens OF well-developed man
hood, entered the arena. Approaching to

Again the bugle rang out, and the

Time and again he charged, until the bu.

EDUCATION IN CHINA.
Families Whose Members Are stu.
dents for Generations.
From the Nineteenth Century.

From the Nineteenth Century
In no country is education more highly
esteemed than in China. The child Of the
working man, as rule, cannot hope TO
get more than a mere smattering. But
scattered through the country are num-
berless families, the members of which
for generation after generation are al
ways students, and from whom as rule
the officials come. They have no knowl-
edge Of any business or trade. They cor
respond very closely TO what are, or
used 10 be, called gentlemen In England,
and preserve their position with great
tenacity, even when hard pressed by pow
erty.
Rich parvenues, as matter Of course,
engage tutors for their children and in
the hum blest ranks of life, occasionally,
parents will stint themselves to give an
opportunity 10 some son who has shown
marked intelligence at the village school
But neither of these classes compete on
an equality with those to whom learning
is an hereditary profession. The cultiva-
ton and intellectual discipline prevailing
in such families give their members a
marked advantage over those who get no
help OF the kind at home, and who must,
therefore, depend entirely on what they
learn from their paid teachers.
The orthodox scheme OF education is
entirely concerned with the ancient liter
allure of China. The original works
which occupy the students attention
were for the most part written before the
literature of either Greece or Rome had
reached its prime. But there are com
mentators belonging to later periods who
must also be perused with diligence
China has not seen an influx of new races
such as have overrun Europe since the
days Of our classical authors, but still
from mere lapse Of time the language Of
the country has greatly changed, and the
child beginning his studies cannot with
out explanation understand single SEN
tence even If he has learned to read the
words Of the lesson which he has before
him. The student makes himself ac-
quainted as thoroughly as possible with
these classical works. The more be can
quote Of them the better, but he must
master the matter contained in them as
we'll
He must get 10 know the different
readings and different interpretations Of
disputed passages, and, finally, he prac-
tees himself in prose and verse compost
ton. In prose he carefully preserves the
ancient phraseology, never admitting
modern words, though there are certain
technicalities of style which will prevent
his productions from being an exact imi-
tation of the ancient literature. His
verses must be in close imitation of the
old-time poets. They must follow elob-
crate rules as TO rhythm, and the words
must rhyme according 70 the classical
sounds, which are very different from
those Of to-day.

A BUDGET FROM BERLIN.
RaVdseS Of the Cholera in Russian
Provinces.

Cholera Baocilli Found in the River
Vistula-German Cruisers for the
Far East-The Frankfort Socialist
Congress-The Beer Boycott-The
Won Kotze Scandal Revived-Two
Conspirators Sentenced to Long
Terms-A Prince Involved.
Copyright 1894, by the Associated Press.
Berlin, Aug. u.-Cholera is slowly but
steadily spreading westward The dis
ease has obtained foothold in nineteen
Russian provinces, where deaths by hun
dreds are recorded daily.
Cholera exists in seventeen districts of
Galicia, and scores of deaths from the
disease take place every day in that sec
ton.
In East Prussia, especially in Dantzic,
the situation grows worse in spite of the
closing of the frontier at Golluba, on the
River Drewenz, opposite Dobrzsyn, Po-
land.
According to official reports, cholera
bacilh have been found floating in the
river Vistula, and a number of fatal cases
are also privately reported from Holm
and GolIub. The rest of Germany APP
pears to be free from cholera, although a
few sporadic cases have occurred here
| and there.
CRUISERS FOR THE EAST.
The two strongly armed new cruisers,
Cormorant and Condor, now in reserve at
hiel, will be sent to Eastern Asia. The
| gunboats Hits and Wolf are already In
Chinese waters, and with the three cruis-
ers sent to the far east last week and the
| Cormorant and Condor, Germany will
have total force OF seven ships and
about 1000 men in the vicinity of Corea.
RUSSIAN TROOPS AND SHIPS.
1t is estimated that nearly $4,000 Rus
sian troops are in Eastern Siberia and
nave with them sixty-four heavy guns
| This, in connection with the fact that
| Russia has sent warships under sealed
orders TO Corea, and that the commander
in-chief of Eastern Siberia has been in
| structed to hold the troops of that dis
trict in readiness to march at any mo-
ment, is regarded as significant.
THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS.
The coming socialist congress at Frank
| fort, promises to be stormy. 1t is said
that Messrs. Volmar and Grillen berger
have announced that they are determined
to resent all interference with Berlin
| commerce and the finances of the Bava-
rian social party.
THE BEER BOYCOTT.
Ia addition, there is the question of the
beer boycott, which will undoubtedly re-
| ceive thorough ventilation at the ap-
preaching convention.
The Won Kotze scandal was revived this
week in the courts. Schmidt and Zenner,
who obtained so much money from Won
Kotze under the pretense that they were
able to divulge the name of the writer of
the anonymous letters and the postal cards
which caused so much disturbance in
aristocratic circles, and which eventually
led to the arrest of Won Kotze, were SEN
fenced to long terms of Imprisonment.
1t is stated on good authority that the
courts are in possession of the facts
which would seem to indicate that a
prince of the imperial family was the au-
thor of the scurrilous letter.

After short parry, and as the bull

animal just back of the horns, and re-

men then came in with lassos, the dead
