CRUSADE IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA crusade for re-
forming the Music Hall and other stages
of this city is, ii is alleged. to be inaugu-
rated Immediately by Miss Francis Z. VIII
lard and the ladies OF the w. c. T. u. Lady
Somerset said to a reporter to-day: Miss
Willard and her associates in this move
ment are very much in earnest. They feel
that the living pictures as exhibited at
present in the theaters of this city. are
terrible menace to young men, and tend TO
encourage immortality and evil thinking.
and are also an outrage on women. 1 am
told that the living pictures are worse than
they are In England, and that is saying a
good deal. i am certain that the mothers
of New York will not tolerate these living
pictures when once the matter is presented
to them in all it's deplorable and sinful as
poets. That such things are permitted
here is due TO the fact that the women
have not been awakened to the deadly and
blighting influence of this new departure
flying its city government some time ago.
so that we have good men in control of our
municipal affairs All we have to do now
is to present our complaints TO the County
Council, and Ii is quite ready and willing
to thoroughly Investigate the matter"
What is to be the plan of the crusade
against the living pictures In New York;
Lady Somerset was asked.
II have no idea at present, she replied.

The Takamine Process to BE Used by
the Trust Hereafter.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27-The Post to-day
says that the fitting of the Manhattan dis
tillery with full equipment of the Taxa
mine process marks the beginning of the
exclusive use by the trust of the
Japanese process. Mrs. Mary b.
Hitch, vice president of the Taxa
mine Ferment Company, in an interview,
claims there Is a contract with the trust
which provides that, by June 1, 1885, all the
high wine distilleries controlled by that or
ganization, must have the equipment nec-
essary for the Takamine process. 3. j.
Hennessey, secretary of the Distilling and
Cattle-feeding Company, says the saving

Claiming Jurisdiction Over Part OF

trolling the Canal Project
TROUBLE AT BLUEFIELDs
TWO wARsHIPs HURRIEDLY DIS
PATCHED TO THE SCENE.
Embassador Bayard Instructed 90 De-
mand an Explanation from britain
Mint Directors Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Bluefelds Is
again disturbing the peace OF Americans.
A dispatch from Panama says: "Managua
advices indicate grave situation In the
Mosquito reservation. British Minister Cos
ling has notified Nicaragua that Great
Britain refuses to recognize the Nicaragua
government at Bluefelds. After an ex-
change of views Minister Gosline tele-
graphed to Port Lmon for British war
ship TO come at once TO Biueields. Ii Is re-
ported that the Nicaraguan canal project is
at the bottom OF the matter and serious
trouble is feared"
1t is difficult to confirm officially the above
report. Dr. Guzman. the Nicaraguan min
ister was automatically silent when the
subject was mentioned and the State De-
partment officials assume an air Of reserve.
That they are informed upon the subject.
however, cannot be doubted, and the
strongest confirmation of the accuracy OF
the report is found in the fact that the
United States steamship Columbia. which
has been lying at Kingston, Jamaica. has
gone directly to Bluefields and viii doubts
less reach that place soon. at least, 40
the British war ship from Port Limons
Costa Rica. IL the facts are as represented.
then the situation is undoubtedly one OF
great gravity. The mention OF the Nics
aragua canal as being the real cause OF the
British action goes to confirm the sus<
picions that have long been cherished here
that Great Britain really cares nothing for
the Mosquitoes themselves. hut is disposed
to insist upon its protectorate over the
reservation in order to base a claim OF
Jurisdiction over that part OF the old reser-
walton which it has contended extended az
far south as the eastern mouth OF the MIC
aragua canal Should this claim be main-
tanned it would, of course. operate 10 pre-
vent the United States from controlling
the projected Nicaragua canal. IL indeed 10
should not cause the abandonment OF the
project. 1t is undoubtedly matter OF great
annoyance to our State Department that
this troublesome Bluefields subject should be
reopened by Great Britain's summary ac-
ton. when IL was supposed that the diff
culties there had been adjusted in a inan-
ner satisfactory to all concerned However
| the prompt dispatch Of the Columbia TO

NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM.


NEW YORK, Nov 27-1n an article et.-
titled "An Essential Condition Of Pros
perity," contributed to the December num-
Der of the North American Review, which
will be published tomorrow, the Hon.
James II. Eckels, Controller OF the United
States currency, contend#that there can be
no hope of undisturbed "a Substantial pros
perity to all classes of the American peo-
pie until the whole currency and banking
system of the country H formulated into
one harmonious plan ink which each part
shall be absolutely SOUND in principle and
the embodiment of monetary science. Amer
lean financial legislationt haa been of the
most pernicious character and bad legisla-
tion in the field of finance must always ex-
ert destructive influence on business.
There is scarcely single act upon the
statute book affecting our currency SYSTEM
which has not been placed there simply to
meet some emergency that confronted the
county at the time. In the belief that
a.ficulty might be bridged over. He cites
as an example of emergency measures the
greenback. The greenback measure fostered
sentiment for fiat money in which he in
cludes silver free coinage. The national
bank currency measure was also an ex-
pedient to provide a market for the gov
ing a perfectly sound currency, but not
sufficiently elastic. The Bland act and the
Sherman silver act are reviewed mis-
chievous measures of temporary expedi-
ency.
The currency system of the country re-
sulting from the constant passing OF ex-
perimental laws has become so confused
and unsound that Mr.. Eckels wonders not
that We have suffered so much financial dis
aster during the years OF Its construction
but that we have suffered little. 1T Is
not at all surprising" says he. that each
morning the first inquiry that addresses
itself to the business man of the country
anxious to satisfy himself as to business
conditions is: Have thousand dollars of
gold come into the treasury, or have a
treasury? No one can ever estimate the
detrimental influence upon the country S
prosperity which such uncertainty breeds.

fused TO surrender the ring when Rowland

alteration that followed Rowland struck
his opponent a blow on the jaw. Sellman

WILL NOT BE sI.s.a0NED.
A. II. L. Cannot Call President Sieve-
land to California.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. H.-Neither
President Cleveland nor any of the East
ern railway men comprising the Genera
Managers Association will be called 10
San Francisco to testify in the strike con-
spiracy cases now on trial here before Dis
trict Judge Morrow. Attorney Montieth,
representing the A r. u, recently de-
manded that President Cleveland be sum-
moned to give testimony as TO why he
issued his strike proclamation declaring
martial law. and why the troops were
called out. Subpoenaes were also de-
manded for members of the General Man
ayers Association. The defense sought TO
prove that the mails were not stopped Dy
the A. r. U.,. but through conspiracy
in which President Cleveland and the Gen.
eral Managers Association figured, and
that the calling out of troops was but an
incident of this alleged conspiracy:
Judge Morrow ruled to-day tnat ne nad
any point outside the judicial district In
which he presdes. IL the President had
called out the troops 20 suppress the strike
in opposition TO the Constitution IL would
prove nothing as to the responsibility or
the strike. He therefore denied the mo-
ton. Attorney Montieth then made ap-
plication to have the deposition of Presl-
dent Cleveland taken. Judge Morrow took
AS result of the findings of the court
of inquiry which investigated the actions
Of the State militia during the recent strike
troubles. Governor Markham to-day ordered
that Company A. OF the Second Infantry
Regiment. and Company G. of the Third
Infantry, be mustered out of the service.
One OF these companies is in San Fran
cisco and the other is in Sacramento. Dur
OF both companies refused TO advance upon
the strikers when ordered to do so.

PLOT OF ROYALlSTS.
How They Expected to Capture the
Hawaiian Governments.

Hawaiian Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 27.-The steamer
Oceanic arrived to-day from Yokohama
via Honolulu. The Oceanic brings no later
Asia.ic news than was received on the EN-
press OF China, which arrived from Vic
toria Nov. 90 At Honolulu there vas still
considerable excitement over the recent
revolutionary plot. The leaders of the royal
ist faction were still declaring trouble was
sure 70 occur soon after the sailing of the
Oceanic. Government officials, however,
declared no trouble need be feared. The
conspiracy. they said, though 1t dii not at
any time threaten serious trouble for the
government, had been completely frus-
trated. AS exposed in the Honolulu papers,
the proposed uprising was planned by
man named Katzer. formerly an officer in
the Austrian army and later sergeant in
the Fifth United States Cavalry His rlan
TO secretly arm several hundred royal
list sympathizers and by concerled action

llsh a temporary govern nent at Hilo. One
OF the steamers was to be quickly dis
patched TO Victoria, B. c., for arms am
munition and men. who were to have been
previously enlisted by an agent now in the
United States. Several thousand dollars
hal been pledged by wealthy royasists who
were implicated. This plot was exposed
to the government however. lopg before
