Russia and Japan.

By Commercial Cable to N. Y. Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 26. 1S95.-ln
official circles here sincere hope is ex-
pressed that Japan will yield to the
demands made by Russia in respect OF
the Shimonoseki treaty.
These demands have been conveyed
in form too categorical and in terms
too firm for japan to preserve the least
illusion in the matter or to doubt that
refusal to comply would be fraught
with the most dangerous consequences
to herself
BERLIN, April 26, 1S95-Affairs in
the far East continue to occupy public
attention here. Italy and Austria
have both refused to join in any con-
certed action with regard to the terms
of peace arrived at between China and
Japan.
A st. Petersburg letter to the N. Y.
Herald of April 18th, says
There is no concealing the fact that
Russian feeling is strongly adverse to
allowing the japanese to obtain any
foothold in Corea, and the press here
openly advocates the advantages for
Russia herself to step in there, in order
to obtain seaport and military har-
Dor answering her requirements better
than Viadivostok."

When the German tariff bill was I'M
der discussion the protectionists lifted
up their voices and prophesied that the
necessary result of the passage of that
bill would be a still further reduction
in the wages of the labor employed in
the protected industries. But that
they are false prophets, as they always
have been, is proved by the fact that
since the passage of the bill referred to
wages in almost every one of the most
protected industries have advanced
considerably, some as much as twenty.

There is more Catarrb in this sect

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.-
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incnrable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10

A Town WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT
The town of Florence, Ore. is in a
peculiar predicament. At the munic-
ipal election last month all the candi.
dates were women, and all were elected.
The constitutionality of the election
was attacked, and the old City Coun.
Gil decided against the women. The
terms of the previous officers have ex.
pired, and now the town is without a
government.

April s3rd, upon the life of George w
johnson, wealthy man of that coun

imagined that johnson, with whom he
had some business trouble several years
ago, was trying to poison him. He was
taking dinner at the Wallace House
when this idea seized him, and he sud
denly left the dining room and hurried
to hardware store, where he bought
a revolver. He returned to the hotel
and, seeing johnson standing in the
corridor, fired three shots at him, meme
of which took effect, two passing
through his coat and one through his
hat. At preliminary hearing Barker
gave bail for his appearance at court

THE DISASTROUS FIRE AT GAP
MILLS An exceedingly disastrous fire
occurred at Gap Mills. this county, at
an early hour yesterday "wednesday
morning, April oath, destroying the
store houses and stocks of goods of Mr..
N. B. Carpenter and Messrs. E. E..
Meador & Co., and also Mr. Carpenters
dwelling and nearly all its con-
tents. The fire broke out about 3:3C
O'Clock in Mr.. Carpenters store and is
supposed to have originated from the
gnawing of matches by mice.
Both OF the stores carried large
stocks of goods. The loss of Messrs.
Meador & Co. is estimated at $4,000
which is covered by insurance to the
extent of $4,000. Mr.. Carpenter did
not carry cent of insurance and his
loss is absolute. His stock OF goods
was valued at about $4,000 and his
store house and dwelling and furniture
were probably worth $4,000 more.
The deepest sympathy is felt for him
by our people in this overwhelming
misfortune, and also for the others in
voived in this calamity, all Of whom
lose heavily.
The residence Of Mr.. John l.. Blank
enship on the corner opposite the Pat
ton store house was saved, end there

The Baltimore Sun takes the position
that Judge Golf. of the United States
court, has exceeded his power in grant
ing an injunction against the Governor
of South Carolina. The San main
tains that the Governor cannot be en-
joined, and that Judge Golf has as.
sumed grave responsibility that he
had no authority to lord it over a
State and to inaugurate riot and dis
order, if not civil war.
Undoubtedly the issue raised is OF
far reaching Importance. If the United
States courts have authority to prevent
the execution of law in South Caro-
lima and to tie the hands of the execu-
tive, they have the same power in Vir-
ginia or in New York. But, as we
have said, we do not think that the in
junction will be made permanent, and
we do not believe that Judge Golf de-
sires to establish precedent that
might prove full of danger in the
future. Nevertheless it is plain that
the power of injunction, which is an
extraordinary remedy is used too
freely by judges nowadays, doubtless
from the very best motives, but with.
out proper discrimination.
If the United States undertakes to
regulate the election laws of the States
and to fix qualifications for registra-
ton and voting, together with other
details, it is hard to see how the States
can preserve their .-Inder-

GEN. MALONE STRICKEN.
WEST VIRGINIAN SUFFERS A
PARALYTIC STROKE.
The Misfortune OvertakeS Him While
in WaShingtOn-There is Slight
Hope of His Recovery.

Washington, Oct. 1.-EX-SenatOr
Malone, of West Virginia, was stlick-
en- with paralysis at his hotel in this
city yesterday. His condition is cou-
sidered very serious. His physicians
were in consultation throughout the
afternoon and they think bis chances
of recovery are very doubtful. His
relatives have been summoned by tel
egraph. The entire right ride of the
sufferer is paralyzed, including the
right arm and lee. He is unable 10
speak except for inarticulate sounds
He maintained consciousness, how
ever, and seeks as best he can to as
SiSt those who are minlStering to his
comfort. The exact time he was
stricken is in doubt. He retired at L
o'clock Sunday night, and up TO that
time was in excellent health and
spirits, and had given no intimatiOn
of feeling unwen. No sound was
heard from his room after he retired.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
Long, the manager Of the hotel, went
to the generals room to call him. He
found that he had been vomiting and
was unable to speak. This last
feature was attributed to exhaustion,
incident to vomiting, and for time
no significance was attached to the
generals failure to talk. DR.. Wales,
ex-surgeon general of the navy and
a long time friend of General Malone,
was sent for, but could not be found.
In the meantime it became evident
that the generals illness was serious
and DR.. Baker was called in. He at
once pronounced it paralysis. DR..
Wales arrived shortly afterwards and
with Dr. Baker took charge Of the
case General Malone appeared to be
suffering no pain. By motions Of
his head and few faint sounds he
made his desires known.
