NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Press club
of Chicago has had an address from
some speaker of distinction in the Au-
ditorium every year for several years.
They invited Mr.. Gladstone for 1886,
and the mayor of Chicago supplement-
ed the request with cordial letter in
viting Mr. Gladstone and his family.
These letters were sent to Mr.. Depew
to be forwarded with a personal letter
from him. The following is Mr.. Glad
stones answer:
"Hawardan Castle, Chester, Nov. 9,
1S95.-Dear Mr.. Depew: 1 have had the
honor to receive your letter, which for
wards me the invitation OF the Press
club, accompanied and countenanced
by the gracious address of the mayor
of the great city of Chicago.
Il cannot too strongly express my
sense Of the honor done me, and 1 wish
to add that in my opla4on
no cause more sacred and mere
urgent than that OF the Ar
meaians has even been oroupllt
before the citizens of the humane and
enlightened countries. 1t is for the
moment enveloped, so far as the pub
lie is concerned, in uncertainty, but yet
there are indications that the hand

can again be traced visibly enough to
betoken some approaching crash of a
system Of government far more ,mpi-
Gus and iniquitous.
With this feeling, 1 still must not
blind myself to the facts of my situa-
ton. After my long public life I can
attempt no public action without con-
sidering much besides the truth, and
even the Importance of what l might
have to say. and i am far from con-
WINGED that my undertaking public
progress Cfor such it would be- at the
present time would be beneficial to the
Armenian cause. But all reasoning on
such a question is cut short by an
undesirable physical unfitness. The
blessing of good health is still vouch-
safed to me, but diminishing strength.
imperfect vision, and growing deafness
incapacitate me from public effort,
which more weighty considerations
might lead me to undertake, and, cor
fine my intercourse to others, to what
is purely private and of a restricted
character.
I send this reply with much regret,
with too full an assurance of its neces-
sity. In conclusion, let me- hope that
the influence of your great, and in such
matter necessarily impartial coun-
try. will be powerfully used in the
canse of right
l remain, with much respect. dear
Mr. Depew, very faithfully yours.

move them at all ages without loss.
Those that I moved after having been
set twelve years were as large as
could carry. They bore fruit the Sec
ond year after removal and have
borne fruit every year since. Cut
them down in November to four feet
high. In the last part of April dig
about them two spades deep the size
of front wagon wheel. cut the roots
with the spade, and do not do too
much pulling. Remove the dirt and
you will find that the vine is fiat
bottoned about sixteen inches down.
Do not allow the roots to dry before
resetting; do not set near a tree, and
do not let any grass grow about the
vines. Annual weeds do not hurt the
vines, but keep the ground from wash
ing off. Land put in grape vines has
to be cultivated many years without
being sown to grass.-E. F. BOURNE,

| PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. A.
Much apprehension is felt for the Brit
ish steamship Gorsedd, Captain Mead,
now out % days from Singapore. This
is the third steamer which is unac-
counted for on the northern Pacific
ocean, the others being Eskdale and
/ st. Rathavanis, bound westward.

ported experiencing Nov. IA ana Is, on
the eastern edge of the China sea, a
typhoon of unusual violence, before
which she ran under bare poles for two
days Captain SAKE says the gale was
the severest he ever passed through
on the Pacific ocean. 1t is a miracle,
he says, that she did not founder,
having only two experienced seamen
in the forecastle.
The steamship Tacoma, which ar
rived a few days ago from the Orient,
passed through the same Storm and
narrowly escaped destruction.
The concensus OF opinion is that the
three steamships and the British ship
Lord Brassey, foundered in the same
storm, thus causing a Joss of $50 lives
and property valued at one and a quar-
ter million dollars. The Gorsedd is a
staunch new steamer. uaviSated by eX-
perienced officers, and hope is held
out that one of the steamships may
have become disabled and is being
towed to port by the other. In the
latter event it is quite probable that
the disabled craft will be taken to one
of the harbors of the Aleutian islands
and anchored. The Gorsedd was in
ballast and officers who PASSED through
the storm are of the opinion that
steamship without cargo would fare
badly in such a typhoon.

at farming as it does in any other

for several days that Antonio Maceo
had crossed the military line of la
Trocha, on November 49, are confirmed
here. He was accompanied by the
pand OF Miros, Cebreco and Quintin
Ban1eras. The crossing was effected
between the forts of La Sanchez and
La Redonda, north of Ciego de Avila.
Upon crossing the line a force of the
insurgents was detached to make an

creating a diversion to prevent pursuit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Recent rumors
of pending legal attack on the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company crystal
lied today when papers were served
upon Secretary John r. Searles, in a
suit to restrain the company from do
ing business in this state. Rumors
We're also current that similar proceed
ings would be taken in Massachusetts.
The opinion in the street was that the
attacks were inspired by the same mo-
tlVeS as those governing the OPPOSE
ton to the consolidation plan of the
Chicago Gas companies. The action
taken did not affect the price of the
stock, which closed at a gain of 1 per
cent. over yesterdays final figures.
MIR. John E. Parsons, of counsel for
the American Sugar Refining company
was interviewed by a reporter in re-
gard to the suit, and said:
Il have only glanced over the pa
pers. They proceed upon the idea that
the American Sugar Refining company
is a combination of the large number
of previously existing corporations and
individual sugar refinerieS; that this
combine constitutes a monopoly and
is in violation of law. There al fur
Their allega tons, all for the purpose of
establishing that the company is a
monopoly. Anyone can make tln appli
cation to the attorney general. Any
one can serve papers upon such an APP
plication. The practical consideration
is whether the facts alleged are true
d nd whether, if true, they can make
out a case.
The fact is. the American Sugar
Refining company is the only corpo-
ration now existing. All preceding cor
porations have been dissolved and are
out of existence. The organization of
the company followed the decision of
the court of appeals in the case OF the
North River company. 1t is in direct
conformity with what 1 understand to
have been established in that case, and
to have been held in many other cases.
Not only is there no law which pre-
vents corporations from acquiring
property which previously belonged to
other individuals or corporations, but
the statutes of this state and of New
Jersey make express provision that
this may be done. The company has
always been most careful that nothing
should be done TO countenance the ldea
of a monopoly Anybody can carry
on a business of sugar refining in this
state or anywhere else, so far as the
American Sugar company is conc2Saed.
It has never made any contract or
agreement to the contrary. Anyone
can sell at any price he likes.
When asked as to the person in
whose name the papers were served
today. Mr.. Parsons replied that the
name of the applicant was Hunt. Two
names were filed in, but he could lot
recollect the Other.

PROTECTS USERS OF "RoyAL."
Baking Powder Company Wins Its
Case in United States Court.
Chicago Times-Herald.)

Chicago Times-Herald.)
The decision of Judge Showalter in
a recent case that came up before him
sustains the claims of the Royal COM
pany to the exclusive use of the name
Royal as a trade mark for its bak-
ing powder. The special Importance of
this decision consists in the protection
which 1t assures to the millions of
consumers of Royal baking powder
against inferior and unwholesome COM
pounds. The excellence of this article
has caused it to be highly esteemed and
largely used almost the world over.
It's high standard of quality having
been always maintained, consumers
have come to rely implicitly upon the
Royal brand as the most wholesome
and efficient of any in the market.
The cupidity of other manufacturers
is excited by the high reputation and
large demand. Very few of the hun
dreds of baking powders on the market
are safe to use. If their makers could
sell them under the name of a well
known, reputable brand incalculable
damage would be done to the public
health by the deception. The determine
alton of the Royal Baking Powder COM
pany to protect the users of the Royal
baking powder against imitators by a
rigid prosecution Of them makes such
limitations of it's brands extremely rare.
