CONDEMN DUNRAVEN.

London, Nov 12.-Even Lord Dunrav-
ems friends now admit that he has made
q serious mistake in issuing the pam
phlet published in the Times in reply
to the report of the New York Yacht
club on the subject Of the yacht races.
A gentleman high in yachting circles
informed representative of the Asso-
ciated Press today that Lord Dunraven's
action was greatly regretted by yachts
men here.
The press as a rule have begun to fol
low the lead of the st. James Gazette,
which so strongly condemned Lord Dun
raven yesterday.
The st. James Gazette says: ''To bring
up this deliberate charge of foul play
weeks afterward is altogether unfair,
and it is deplorably injudicious and un,
patriotic and will make more bad blood
in the United States than half dozen
Corinto or Venezuela incidents"

Washington, Nov. 12.-The Turkish le-
CATION at Washington received from the
sublime porte the following kilograms
under yesterdays date:
"The Armenian rioters at Zeitoun at
tackled the village of Tchoukourhissar
killing 80 Mussulmans, carried away
with them arms, cattle and belongings
of the Mussulman villagers of Dunghel
and murdered the secretary of the tax
collector at Zitoun. The wife and four
children of this functionary are missing"
According to fresh advices the Arme-
mans are alone responsible for the new
disorders, which were begun by the reb-
els firing ON the mosques at the hour of
prayer and by their attacking the Mus
sulmans. The fire which broke out in
Diarbekir was started by Armenian in
cendiaries, for 80 per cent of the shops
destroyed belonged to the Mussulmans.
The vail of ADAM advises us that about
200 Armenians disguised as Circassians
attacked the Mussulman village of lei
tounbili and Narl, committing all sorts
of depredations.

TO EvACUATE PORT ARTHUR.

TO EVACUATE PORT ARTHUR.
Washington, Nov. 12.-The purpose of
Japan to evacuate Port Arthur and the
Liao Tung peninsula by February IL
next, which is three months from the
date of the payment by China of the
30,000,000 tael agreed upon for the evac-
uation. 1t is probably that the Japanese
will set about retiring from Port Arthur
Immediately upon the payment of the
3OOO0,OO0 tael on Thursday next.
1t is understood, also, that further
feature of the treaty for the surrender
of Port Arthur is that it's evacuation
sion of the fortress to any other power.
Late mail advices to the legation sat
isfy the officials that the rebellion in
Formosa is over and the the rebel leader
has surrendered. He offered to make
conditional surrender some time ago, but
the Japanese would not give conditions
to the rebels. Since then the officials be-
lieve that he yielded Internationally.

clans who are sent to Congress or who
become members Of the cabinet are not
capable Of mastering the intricacies Of
the banking business"
Something occult about the banking
business, isn't there? Ordinary NOR
tails can't comprehend this idea Of get
ting in debt for thousands of dollars,
and then drawing interest on your
debts while you pay none on what you
owe! This business Of cornerlng money
and compelling people to pay you big
rate for the loan on your credit or your
promissory notes, Is indeed a puzzle.
Yes, 1t is a very peculiar and "lntri-
cate" business-almost as hard to un-
derstand as three-card monte or the
shell game. AS politicians and repre-
sentatives Of the people are incapable
Of Comprehending it, the only safe
course is to give the bankers the power
to frame our currency laws. AS they
are now, the money power is able to
control about everything; but there
may be some points in which the bank
ers could improve these laws, and
make 1t easier to rake in the fruits of
others labor.
How nice II the common people could
only be made to believe such stuff
that finance is a matter utterly beyond
their comprehension, and 1t would be
safer for them to try to legislate on the
tides and the law Of gravitation than
to tamper with the currency. wouldn't
the fellows on the inside who under
stand all the "intricacies" of getting
something for nothing by hocus-pocus-
ing the money supply have a picnic?
II money were something the people
could take or let alone; II the law
didn't make 1t legal tender and COM
pei them to pay their debts in 1t; II 1t
wasn't the only means by which they
can conveniently and economically
effect the exchanges Of their products,
then 1t might be safe to pass the sub
ject by as too intricate for ordinary
mortals. But, as it is largely by means
of their manipulation of the money
supply that the few are able to rob the
many Of the fruits Of their toll, it be-
hooves every man to study the money
questions and understand all the
devious and intricate" methods by
which wealth uses money to Cypress
and defraud labor. And about the
first question to ask these masters of
the "intricacies" of banking is: Why
should one mans debt circulate as
money and draw interest rather than
another ?-Star and Kansan.

How We Soar.

Six years ago this month August Bel
mont stood in the sawdust Of Madison
Square Garden and awarded ribbons to
stump tailed fox terriers. At that time
his fame rested on the ownership Of
the champion brace Of the gamy breed
which was the height OF canine vogue.
AS bench show judge and president Of
the American Kennel club he gradually
acquired national reputation. To-day
he deslgnates to the United States gov
eminent the terms upon which gold
by the hundredweight shall be fur
nished for redeeming currency notes.
He negotiates with president and a
secretary Of the treasury in secret upon
the fate Of a nations contracts. That
is the beauty Of a free country. You
can't tell when the man you esteem be-
meath your serious notice will have a
big slice Of the country standing in his
name.-St. Louis Republic.

what Fool. rhe.e Laborer. Be.

A few days ago 100000 laborers pa
raded the streets of the City of Mexico,
with banners and music, demanding to
be led against Guatemala. There is
dispute between Mexico and Guate-
mala about piece of swamp which
probably isn't worth 10 cents per acre,
and whose ownership could easily be
settled by resurvey or arbitration. 1t
has never done the laborers Of either
country any good, and never will. Yet
these 100000 Mexican laborers parade
the streets, clamoring for war! Is 1t
any wonder that tyrants, in so many
shapes, rule the people when we see
that the people themselves are such
fools? The kings quarrel, and the peo-
pie do the fighting-that's the history
Of mankind. Here we are pretending
to be civilized. Almost 1000 years of
Christ and his gospel Of peace have
been our teachers, and yet we turn out,
100000 strong, with banners flying,
drums beating, and horns tooting-de-
handing to be- led against bayonets
and bullets to settle the boundary line
Of a wretched wilderness Of swamp! No
wonder our masters desplse us-Tom
Watson.

NOTHING better tells the stroy
of the beneficial effects of free
raw material for the wooden in
dustries of the country than the
announcement by the leading
manufacturers at Lawrence that
the schedule of wages paid prior
to the reduction in March, 1894.
had been restored. The increase
amounts to 10 and Is per cent.
and is entirely voluntary. 1t
affects the mills in Haverhill,
Andover, North Andover and
Franklin Falls as we'll as Lawre-
nee, and the firm operating them
is not alone the first in the wooden
manufacturing business in the
New England States, but the
largest in the country. The new
tariff then is not crushing out
the wool manufacturers, as the
high protectionists claimed
would follow its enactment. On
the contrary, the mills are run
ming day and night, they are be-
ing enlarged, wages are better
and consumers purchase better
goods at lower prices. But the
organs are very slow in finding
this out.

AN L FRAUD.

AS the Atlanta Journal says,
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, IS
about the noisiest Of the silver
monometallists. He represents
a State that has about 10000
voters and has been losing popu-
lation steadily for some years
past. He holds his seat in the
Senate absolutely by the grace
of the Nevada silver mine own
ers and, of course, does what
ever they want him to do.
Recently he wrote a letter to
Ex-Congressman Hendrix, OF
Brooklyn, in which he denounces
furiously all who oppose the free
coinage of silver by the United
States without regard to other
nations or any conditions what
soever. Senator Stewart dWells
upon the ''crime of 1873" by
which the silver dollar was
dropped from the list Of oul
coins. If that was a crime
Stewart must bear a share Of the
responsibility for it. He was
member of the Senate in 1875
and the act referred to was
passed without division. Stew
art cannot pretend thai he die
not know what was going on
This pleading of the baby &C
may excuse some other partici
pants in the "crime of 1873
but Stewart must have knoWr
what was contemplated as he
made a speech on the currency
bill on January 81, 1888. Still
more convincing proof that Stew
art was cognizant of the effect O.
the measure is furnished by the
fact that more than two years
before, viz: on January 10th
1871, he voted for the PROPOSE
ton which was adopted in 1878
and which he now characterize:
as a monstrous crime. What {
wicked old man Stewart mus
have been then and what a CAB
bling old fraud he is now

Suicide and Life Insurance.

The recent tendency in life
insurance has been altogether in
the direction of a liberal con-
struction of the policy, to the
benefit of the insured, so that
the policies of most of the lead
ing companies has become prac-
tically incontestable, except
upon the ground Of obvious
fraud. Even the provision against
suicide is not often insisted upon
now, the usual presumption be-
ing that a man who takes his
own life is a victim Of diseased
conditions and that the contract
of insurance was intended to
apply to any or every cause of
death.
The decisions of the courts
have for the most part simply
confirmed the doctrine practi-
cally established by the policy Of
the leading companies, but a
case just decided in the United
States District Court shows that
it is necessary to keep this liber-
al tendency under guard, lest it
be abused to unlawful ends. In
this case a business man who
had become hopelessly involved
in debt and could see no other
way of meeting his obligations,
appears to have formed a de-
liberate plan to insure his life
for a very large amount and then
commit suicide, in order that his
creditors might be paid and his
family provided for.
Whether this plan, which was
actually carried out, be regarded
as an indication of heroism or OF
insanity, it is clearly against
public policy that it should be
countenanced. It would be not
only a wrong to the insurance
companies-which means the
great body Of the insured-but
would involve a recognition OF
the lawfulness OF deliberate
suicide that is not to be enter
tanned. Insurance with a view
to suicide has the same status
with insurance with a view te
murder, which always has beer
held to invalidate the contract.
This case, therefore, under
Judge Buffers instructions, re
solved itself into a question O.
fact, whether the insurance haC
been effected with the purpose
Of suicide, in which case the sun
could not be collected from the
company, or whether the insured
had subsequently become un
balanced through anxiety abou'
his affairs and suicide had re
suited from insanity, in which
case the company was bound tC
pay the amount of his policy
The jury, from the evidence
took the former view, and as
suming the Interpretation OF the
facts TO be correct, there can bt
no question Of the correctness O.
the verdict. -Phladelphi Times.

A PRAYER.

It has been many a year since
the death Of any writer has
caused such general regret and
provoked so many beautiful tri-
butes as has that of Robert Louis
Stevenson.
Never until he ceased to speak
to us was the worth Of what he
has said SO fully appreciated.
Every recorded word Of his is
treasured and a pathetic interest
attaches to the last thing he
wrote. It is the following little
prayer which he composed and
read to his family on the even
ing before his sudden death:
1--WE beseech Thee, Lord,
to behold US with favor,
folk of many families and nations
gathered together in the peace
of this roof; weak men an6
women subsisting under the
cover of thy patience. Be pa
tent still; suffer US yet awhile
longer, with our broken promises
of good, with our idle endeaYors
against evil; suffer US a while
longer to endure, and (if it may
be- help US to do better. Bless
to US our extraordinary mercies
if the day come when these mus
be taken, have US to play the
man under affection. Be with
our friends, be with ourselves
go with each of US to rest; i
any wake, temper to them the
dark hours of watching; ane
when the day returns to US, oul
sun and comforter, all US will
morning faces and with morning
hearts, eager to labor, eager tx
be happy, if happiness shall bt
our portion; and if the day b.
marked to sorrow, strong to en-
dure it. We thank Thee ano
praise Thee; and in the words O
Him to whom this day is sacred
close our oblation."
Then follows the Lord.
Prayer. In its simplicity, beauty
and tenderness this little praye:
is perfect.
