Not very accurate idea Of the amount Of for
egn travel can be gained from the number Of
passports issued by the State Department, but
SO far as the figures go they show that this
years transatlantic travel has been large. In
only two previous years. 1889 and 1891, has there
been larger number of passports taken out, and
this year the number was considerably reduced
through the dishonesty Of an employe in the
Passport Bureau. Comparatively few OF those
going abroad find 1t necessary to obtain pass
ports, but the statistics furnished from Wash
ington confirm the evidence derived from other
sources that the business of the Atlantic steam
ship lines has been exceptionally heavy this
summer.

Some Brooklyn wheemen are uttering COM
plants because, as they assert, they cannot en-
10y the pleasures OF the fine roads In queens
County on account OF the numerous market and
farmers wagons which use them, and assert
that n special roadway for bicycles should be
provided. The aqueduct which brings Brook
lyn's water to Ridgewood is suggested as fur
nshing an excellent route from the city line to
the point where the aqueduct intersects the
Merricll Road. near Lynbrook. However desir-
able this may be. the present Is not the right
time to ag!tate such matter There are sew
eral things which Brooklyn blcyclers need far
more than a special roadway for their benefit
out on Long Island. Foremost among them Is a
good roadway In Brooklyn itself to enable the
fine macadam roads In Queens County To be
reached with ease and comfort. 1t is not credit
able to our sister city that recourse must be had
to one Of the elevated roads to escape the bad
pavements In the Twenty-siXth ward. smooth
roadway here Is the thing needed. and the
bicycle clubs OF Brooklyn ought to concentrate
attention upon 1t to the exclusion OF everything
else.

As was anticipated when Saratoga County
turned down Senator Donaldson in his effort TO
secure a denomination last week, the Senatorial
Convention for the new XXVIIIth District yes
terday nominated Edgar T. Bracket as its can
didate. 1t took twenty ballots to accomplish this
result, since each Of the three counties presented
its own man and stood by him during the early
stages Of the balotng Finally Schenectady
and Washington yielded to the stronger claims
OF Saratoga, thus insuring the election OF Mr..
Bracket. man OF Independent character and
strong convictions, to succeed Donaldson, who
was content to be simply a tool Of the Boss in
the upper chamber. The district Is certainly
Republican. The strength Of the anti-Platt senti-
ment In 1t Is shown by the thoroughness with
which Donaldson has been wiped out as po-
htIcal factor In his own county.

Commission CONSIDERED
Opinions of American Statesmen on
the Venezuelan Question.
DELIBERATING ON HOUSE BILL
The Senate Discusses the Bill Passed by
the House ApprOpriatinG 100000
TO Dcfrayins Expenses Of
Commission to Venezuela.

Washington, Dec. 19-The discussion
in the senate today on the house bin
appropriating SlOO, GOO for the expenses
of the proposed Venezuelan commission
were marked by unanimity of senti
ment in favor of the position taken by
the president in his recent message and
was singularly free from passion ana
excitement. The debate proceeded by
unanimous consent, as there was really
no question before the senate, objection
having been made to the second reading
of the bill today and that objection
carrying the bill over till tomorrow.
The debate was opened by Mr.. Nor
gan, Alabama. who favored the pas
sage of the bill just as it came from the
house and would vote for it's reference
to the committee on foreign relations
only on the condition that it would be
reported back and acted on tomorrow
The only other senator's who favored
immediate action on the bill, without its
being considered by the committee, was
Mr.. VOORHEES,. Indiana, and his only
speech breathed war and defiance. He
declared, emphatically, that Great
Britain could not go to war with the
United States so long as Canada is a
hostage on our northern borders Speeches
were made, moderate in tone and
against hasty action, by Senators Sher-
man, Lodge, Hawley and Teller.
Mr.. TcIicr's Declarations.
Mr. Teller's speech was remarkable
for the declaration that if war should
ensue-which he deprecated and did
not think probable, the United States
would not be without European allies.
and he specified Russia patiently wait
ing to secure an opening to the Dar-
danelles. extending her domination over
China and enlarging her possessions in
India.
The house bill will have it's second
reading as soon as the journal is read,
and then the motion of which Mr.. Sher-
man gave notice today, to refer 1t to
the committee on foreign relations may
he made. 1t is not at all likely that
that motion will meet any opposition;
but whether the bill can be considered
in committee. reported to the senate
and there acted upon before adjourn
ment tomorrow Is very problematical.
If not the joint resolution for the holi-
day recess may fail. The senate ad-
journed today at 2.45 till tomorrow.

Terrible Crime Laid at the Door OF Ken
tucky Youth IL ynchiu. Is Feared.

tucky Youth ynchins Is Feared
Glasgow, KY, Dec. ia terrible
tragedy was enacted in this county In
the rocky hill, north of here, last night
about 10 o'clock, the details of which
have just reached this place.
Miss Annie Steinberger, the 2O-year-
old daughter of Colonel Robert Stein
berger, was sitting in the parlor alone
when q load of buckshot was fired
through the window, tearing off the top
OF her head.
Suspicion turned to Boxer Steinberg-
er, the l9-year-old son of her fathers
brother.
A deputy sheriff with a posse of men
this morning arrested young Steinberg-
er, it having been found that on
Wednesday afternoon he had borrowed
a shot gun from neighbor.
1t is claimed a note was found among
the girls effects from her cousin. which
is a reply to letter from her. evidently
telling him that in order to protect her
honor he must marry her. He declared
in the letter that he cannot do this as
he Is in love with another young woman
whom he is to wed on Christmas night
The two families are among the most
prominent in the county, and the de-
velopment of these facts has caused q
sensation.
Groups of men are talking over the
tragedy in an excited manner, and 1t
is not at all improbable that an at
tempt '-ill be made tonight to deal
swift judgment to Steinberger.
He denies all knowledge of the crime.

CONCERNING SCHOOLS.
Report of the Superintendent Of Public
Iustruction-Statistic in Reference TO
School Work Throughout the state.

Harrisburg, Dec. 19.-Dr Schaffer,
the superintendent of public instruc-
ton, has finished his report for 1885,
He refers in opening to the wisdom of
the legislature in not reducing the ap-
preparation to the public schools, re-
marking that although the annual
amount was reached, the magnificent
sum of five and One-half million dol
lars it does not cover one-third of the
expenditures for public instruction. DR..
Schaffer adds that the legislature de-
serves praise for its generous liberality
in aiding the higher institutions of
learning.
He says the moral effect of the COM
pulsory school law has been salutary in
causing some pupils to attend who
would otherwise have absented them
selves. Good results may also be ex-
pected, he observes from the recent leg
islation designed to prevent the spread
of contagious diseases.
During the past year G,i72 schools
were open ten months; 40O7. nine
months; and 2,S55 during eight months
the remaining 12,0l4 schools were open
between six and eight months
The number OF school teachers i'm the
state is 26,OSS; schools, 25,34S; male
teachers, S,62S; female teachers, 17,46O;
average salary male teachers, $44 50 per
month; female teachers, s3S.34; number
of pupils. 1,07O,6l2; total expenditures,
$lS,992.G51 II. Probably the most sig
nificant items in the statistical report
are those showing an increase of nearly
thirty thousand in the number of pupils,
and an increase of over five dollars a
month In the monthly salary of female
teachers. There has also been an in
crease of over three hundred thousand
dollars in the wages of teachers.

The National Alliance Of America Offers

of the Irish National Alliance of Amer
lea, which says: I'VE declare it incon-

perfidious or more unrelenting enemy
than Great Britain to the United States
has ever existed. and England has ever
been the revengeful foe of American
liberty and republican institutions.
'Imbued with this conviction, and see
ing that Great Britain has avowed her
intention to trample upon the Monroe
doctrine by her attempt to robe Vene-
zuela of her territory and has dared to
violate the integrity of our territory in
Alaska, we hereby offer, as a proof of
our loyalty and devotion to the country
of which we are citizens, to place at the
disposal of the president of the United
States without delay 10000 soldiers as
brave as have ever shouidered a rifle,
and every man of whom is q believer in
the principles and teachings of the Irish
National Alliance. Our army. which is
now organized, is ready to serve the
