CHANGE in plans of silver Men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The letter
of Senator Cameron, announcing his
retirement from the Senate in 1897 at
the expiration of his present term, has
made change in the plans of the silver
men. Senator Cameron had been agreed
upon as the silver candidate for the va
cancy in the Committee on Finance, and
would have been selected. 1t would be
useless to place him in that committee,
and the Senator has suggested that
someone else be agreed upon. 1t is un-
derstood that this has been done, and
that Mr.. Wolcott of Colorado will be
given the place.

MADRID EXCITED.
Great Public Demonstration Against
the Municipal Scandals.

the Municipal Scandals.
MADRID, Dec. 9.-The shops in the
city were all closed to-day, their pro-
prietors fearing that rioting might grow
out of the great public demonstration
against the scandals in the Municipal
Council, and the passive attitude of the
Government in regard thereto. Forty
thousand persons paraded the streets.
Among the prominent men who took
part in the demonstration were several
members of the late Ministry, including
eX-Prime Minister Sagasta, Senor Sill
vala, a diffident Conservative; Seniors
MargaIl and SalmorOn, the Republican
leaders, and a number of Senators and
members of the Chamber of Deputies.
The route of the procession was lined
with people, who enthusiastically
cheered the paraders. There was an
immense display of gendarmes and cav
airy, but their services were not re-
quired, as the demonstration was or
derIy throughout.

TURKISH AFFAIRS.
Said Pasha May Again Accept the Post
of Grand Vizier.


| CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec 9.-Not-
withstanding the general belief that the
exGrand Vizier Said Pasha would per-
sist in his reported determination to
leave the country, an important change
was made in his plans to-day. 1t ap-
pears that the Sultan has at last per-
suaded him to forego his intention of
remaining under the protection of the
British ambassador. for this evening
he left the Embassy and returned to his
residence. 1t is believed here that the
resolution adopted at the meeting of the
representatives of the Powers on Thurs
day to the effect that the Powers would
support him should he again accept the
post of Grand Vizier was an important
factor in causing him to reconsider his
determination to eXpatiate himself. AS
yet there is no indication of what his
future course will be.
1T is officially stated to-day that there
! is perfect quietude in all the provinces
except Zeitoun, where the Armenian
rebels are still in possession of the town.
ERZEROUM MASSACRE.
BOSTON, Dec. 9.-The following in
formation has been received here:
! There are few things to particularly
noticed in reference to the horrible mas
sacres at Erzeroum on Wednesday, Oc-
| tOber 30th. First, it was done by the
regular soldiers, assisted only to some
extent by the populace. Second. it was
| accompanied by a systematic plumber
| ing of both houses and shops, done for
| the most part by the soldiers Third,
the attack on individuals was with the
| intent to kill, which is shown by the
/ large number killed, as compared with
| the wounded. There are a few wounded
| treated by their friends who escaped
being plundered. Fourth, the attack
! began at about the same moment all
| over the city, few minutes after noon.
| 1t ceased at the same time, about halT
| an hour before sunset. That is, it began
tabout 1870 p. M, and stopped at about
| 4:30 D. M, or a period of about four
| hours Fifth, after the order was
given to cease there was no numbering
| or plundering, except in very few IN
! stances or in very exposed places.
Sixth, the Armenians were all IN their
places of business without any prepara-
| ton whatever for attack or defense.
They made no attacks, and were shot
or cut down like animals in trap,
without any opportunity for resistance
| The claim is made that the soldiers
broke ranks and rioted In such case
| it was most marvelousiy systematic
| and well-conducted military riot.

Decision in "a Mining suit Rendered
by Judge Seawell.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-Judge
Seawell to-day rendered his decision
in the suit brought by Theodore Fox
against the Consolidated California and
Virginia Mining Company, the Com
stock Mill and Mining Company, John
w. Mackay, John P. Jones and others.
Fox sued as stockholder, and his OBJ
ject was to secure an accounting from
Mackay and Jones and the milling
company which they controlled. He
claimed that Mackay and j. c. Flood
controlled the mining company, and
with Jones the mill, and that the stock
holders of the mine had been Swindled
of large amounts by reason of the ex-
orbitant charges made for milling, as
we'll as by the unskillful working of the
ore, resulting in quantity of valuable
tailings having been left to be worked
over for the profit of the mill. Judge
Seawell decided adversely to the plant
iff, holding that there was no evidence
to show any fraud.

DR. JOHN A. BROADUS.

The report of the Broadus memorial ser vices, held at O'Brien's Opera house yes- terday afternoon, occupies much of our space this morning, but deservedy so. It was just tribute to a great and good man by an appreciative community, and his de- parture is sincerely deplored not only by the ministry and members of the Baptist church of which he was the most eminent representative in the United States, but by all Christian people whatever their name or denomination.
 Dr. Broadus was born in Virginia in Jan . uary, 1927. He was educated at the Uni versity of Virginia, and as pastor and preacher and teacher he devoted forty four years of his busy life to "going about doing good.o
 Speaking of this great man, friend of his said
 Whatever his hands found to do, he did with all his might. Wherever he lived, he lived the life of his Master; whatever he attempted in the pulpit, on the rostrum, in the class room, in literature or scholarship. in business or personal intercourse, his efforts were always exerted in behalf of the true, the beautiful and the good. Though filled with ''burning zeal for the salvation of souls ,'' he was charitable to the weaknesses of human nature; though stoutly championing the doc trines and tenets of his own denomination, he was ever respectful of the views of those who could not go with him. Men loved him becau SC with all his learning and eloquence he was simple and unaffected and tender as a child.
 He was great teacher as we'll es pulpit orator, possessing the teaching faculty in a marked degree. It is said of him that he placed himself on easy and confidential terms with his pupils and obtained the best results by his method of imparting instruc- tion. He made the class room attractive; 1; he knew how to manage men. His book on the Preparation and Delivery of Ser mons" is a monument to his Knowledge of the art of preaching. It is regarded every where, on both sides of the sea, as one oi the best books on homiletics that has ever been published.
 The world is all the better that such a man has lived here.

THE Venezuelan situation ia regarded as being more dangerous than that h Nicar- agua, for not only is Great Britain insisting on the right to occupy stations claimed by the latter country to be far inside her un. disputed territory, but France has been dispieased at the summary dismissal of her Minister in Caracas, and, as a mark of her displeasure, has sent man-of-war to carry her representative back to his coun- try. At the same time Germany is taking steps to make a naval demonstration in Venezuelan waters to secure payment of debts due by the Venezuelan Government to her subjects.

SPEAKING of our foreign markets, the Boston Herald says: "We have never had the least doubt that but for the civil war (snd this constitutes the incalculabe cost to US of the mistake of negro slavery) we should now be practically without cus- toms tariff, having the largest ocean com- merce, occupying, as regards the other nations, the position of the workshop of the world, while paying to every one who could come within the classification of skilled worker wages higher than were paid anywhere else, or than have ever yet been paid here. No doubt this is our ulti- mate destiny under any circumstances, un- less social discontent, due to the unequal distribution of wealth which the artificial laws of the last thirty years have brought about, puts check upon our progress. But in the meantime the way to advance is to broaden out our markets, and to make 1t evident that in industrial competition 1t is intelligence, sobriety and industry that tell. |"

GILMORE CONCERTS,

The musical public are likely to have as much good music as they could ask for in the Gilmore band concerts that are to take place here on Thhrsday afternoon aud evening. The programme sparkles with bright things, and rare perf6rmances Are assured. Not only are the splendid baud performances to be looked forward to, but a number of celebrated solo artists are to be heard. The concerts beforehand have all the appearances of the old timars--regular Gilmore affairs. Mme. Louise Natali, one of the greatest prima donna's of the times, will sing; Viola Herbert, who has the rep utation of being one of the greatest violon- cellists living, will be heard in solo; Gery on the anto. harp and Clarke on the cornet, both artists of high stamp, are to be heard. The anto-harp is a novel feature, but it is an exquisite instrument. This is the first time il has ever been included in band mu- sic and the effects are said to be vastly en- larged, as the band accompanies the harp. Victor Herbert is said to be the counterpart of Gilmore in leading, but has manner and impetuosity all his own. All in all, the concerts are of rarest features through out and will certainly pack the house. In the evening Frieda Simonson, the marvel ous child pianist, will appear in solo and also duo for piano and violoncello with Victor Herbert.

THE history of railroads in China is brief, but peculiar. While that country has but 100 miles in operation, the grading remains of railway between Shanghai aud Woo Sung, which was built by English capitalists in 1876 and bought and torn up by the Chinese authorities to satisfy the opposition of the people. The existing road runs out of Tien-Tsin, in northeastern China, but all efforts to over- come the hostility of the natives to its ex- tension have failed. Japan has about 2000 miles of railway and is constantly adding to its system. When railway boom breaks out in Asia the man nufacturers and contractors of this country will be found ready to supply long-felt want worth talking about.

Two colored men demonstrated against Thomaa J. Furlong, of 1404 South Penn square, because he will not, they allege, servecolored persons. and his refusal is in violation of the act of May 19, 1887.

TWO GREAT POWERS,

St. Louis is now stirred up by Rev. Sam Jones. la his last sermon he made this forcible illustration:
 The first great physical power in this nineteenth century, to my mind, Is the throttle valve of the locomotive engine, and the next greatest power is supplied by the air brakes. la the first you have got the go ahead power. In the next the check power. 1 have sat on the engine of one of these trunk lines talking to the engineer. l have watched the engine as it rolled along. I have sometimes looked ahead : and said to the engineer, "Sir, see the clt. tie on the trackln And as the engine was rushing ahead with its mighty momentum, 1, the engineer turned the air brake round 1, slipped every brake on every wheel, and he pulled his whistle lever, and just as we would reach the place where the cattle were standing the last one would disappear. I said once to one of these engineers, "Sir, what blessing these breaks are?" and hel replied and said, ''Mr. Jones, the sched-l ules we make now would be impossible without these brakes"
 The greatest power God ever bestowed on man is his will power-the power to go ahead with the right, and the next greatest power is the won't power-the power that will say, "I'il die before go on with that.o
