GERMANY's SECRET TREATY.
The Matter Taken Up I'm the Reich
NfaE.


In anticipation of a statement from the
imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, on
the subject of the revelations made by
Prince Bismarck, through his organ. the
Hamburger Nachrichten, regarding the Sc
cret treaty which existed between Russia
and Germany from 1856 TO 1890, there was
large attendance at the opening of the
German reichstag Yesterday.
Count Won RompreSch, centrist leader
introduced the Interpolation, notice of
which was given on Wednesday last.
In brief, the question was, Did a secret
convention between Russia and Germany
exist up to 1890, and If so, why was it not
prolonged? Finally, Lave the recent dis
closures had influence upon the dreibund
and Germany's relations with the other
powers?
In reply Prince Iiohenlohe said: In re-
gard to the negotiations between Russia
and Germany from 1887 to 1890 1t was
agreed at the time that absolute secrecy
should be observed. The point Of time
when this obligation ceased cannot in con-
sequence, be defined by US alone. 1 there
fore for the moment am not in a position
to give official information concerning the
result OF those negotiations then After
careful examination of the available ma
teriai, cannot help recognizing as of full
weight the motives which governed German
policy, and at the same time l can ex-
press the conviction that no unfavorable
modification in our relations with Russia
has made itself felt. The assertion at that
time that British. or, indeed. eny foreign
influences, have had a contributory effect,
or that they now have, must be dismissed
as void of all foundation" C'Bravo! bra
vo!D
AS to the effect which recent publica-
lions nave had upon the position of Ger
many in the dreibund and her relations
with other European powers, 1 am glad
to be able to declare that the cloud of dis
.rust Whlch, at the first moment, was OBJ
servable among some classes of the popu-
latlon OF those countries mas again disap-
peared. and our relations with our allies
are marked now. as before, by absolute
mutual confidence. In the same way. our
relations with Russia have never for a mo-
ment ceased to be good and fri endly." Can
pause from all parts of the house)
A similar statement was made by Raron
fairs. ee" a.
Herr Richter, the radical leader. declared
that the revelations were a gross breach of
trust "a e"eAi VI
after other speakers had expressed their
views on the subject the matter was dron-
pea without vote being taken.

ITALY YIELDS TO ABYSSINIs.
Conditions of the Recent Treaty. n
Peace,

Under date of Adisabeba, October 26,
Maj. Verazzini. Italys envoy plenipoten-
tiary to the Negus Menelik of Abyssinia
has telegraphed to the Italian government
as follows:
Il have today with great solemnity sign
ed a treaty Of peace and a convention for
the release of the prisoners in Menelik' S
hands. The treaty provides for the res
toration of the status quo pending the APP
pointment of delegates by Italy and Abys-
sinia year hence to determine the from
tiers by friendly agreement. 1t recognizes
the absolute independence of Ethiopia and
abrogates the Uccialli treaty. Italy under
takes in the meantime not to cede the
territory to any other power. Should she
desire spontaneously. to abandon the terri
tory 1t would return to the Ethiopian rule -
By the Uccialli treaty, concluded in 1889
between Menelik and Italy, Abyssinia be-
came an Italian protectorate. The settle
ment announced above by Maj. Verazzini
is the outcome Of Italian reverses at the
hands of the Abyssinians.
Italy is also to pay Abyssinia an indem-
nifty.

Because he had palpitation of the

smoking. He thought the tobacco
habit was the cause of his trouble,
but when he ceased smoking the
pusations of the heart were more
violent than ever. Mr.. Allen Is
registered chemist of Lynn, Mass, and
ut second thought he concluded that
II tobacco wasn't the Cause 1t must be
acute dyspepsia. His knowledge
of chemistry naturally prompted him to
take Ripans Tabulcs, well knowing
their efficacy In disorders Of the
stomach liver and bowels. Quick
relief followed, and now there is
no more distress in the region of his
heart But the remarkable part Of Mr..
Aliens experience follows. He
decided to forego smoking anyhow,
and discovered that Ripans Tabules not
only satisfied the longing for tobacco,
which all smokers are familiar with,
but at first he actually looked
forward with pleasure to the three
periods each day when he took the
Tabules. Mr.. Allen no longer smokes,
and has no desire to, nor does he
take the Tabules. He Is a well man,
and does Lot need medicine of any kind.

said Thomas A. Edison to a Boston
Herald representative when informed
the purpose Oi g ttiug Information con-
cerning the latest and greatest of his
inventions, tho Csc which is being
eagerly awaited and which very few
have had Il chance to sce~--that is, the
combination Of the phonosraph with
tho kinetoScope, the contrivance to
which Mr.. Edison applied the term
kinetograph on this occasion.
"Tho object of this machine" he
said, ''is to afford the spectator two in
ventiOns in one--that is, two senses are
simultaneously appealed to. Suppose,
we will say, an opera is to be reproduo-
ed. The phonograph already repeats the
sound. Tho kinetoscope afterward af-
fords a view of the movements. Now,
however, we wish to combine the two
and combine them far more effectively
than ever their distinct elements have
heretofore been rendered by separate in
StrumentS.
''Thus, if ono wished to hear and see
the concert or the opera, it would only
be necessary to sit down at home, look
upon scene and see the performance
reproduced exactly in every movement
and at the same time tho voices of the
players and singers, the music of the
orchestra, tho various sounds that ac-
company performance of this sort,
will be reproduced exactly. The end
attained is a perfect illusion. One really
hears and sees the play, because the
conditions necessary to the suitable I'M

GarriCk as q Manager.

Many of Garrick's actors thought
themselves in certain character $ superior
to their manager. Barry as Romeo,
Quin as Othello and Foote as Bayes
were considered by their own adherents
to surpass Garrick.
Mrs. Wof1ington's Sir Henry Wildair
was so much applauded that Garick
abandoned the part, and, i'll fact, for the
sake of harmony he often gave up fa-
vorite Iarts to other members of the
company. Mrs. Siddons, who acted at
Drury Lane during Garrick's last sea-
son, complained that she was kept back
through the jealousy of her manager.
We entirely agree with Mr.. Knight that
there could DO no foundation for such
charge.
In description of Garrick's S last sea-
SON at Drury Lane i'll Smith S "Booii
For Rainy Day., we find that in Gar
rick's last nine performances Mrs Sid
dons acted six times and always in
leading parts. As a manager Garrick
was liberal, and hic rule was firm and
just. Even Mrs. Abingdon, for many
years the most intractable Of his sub
jects and constant thorn i'll his side,
was obliged to comply with his orders.
"Mr Garrick and his profession said
Johnson, "have been equally indebted
TO each other. His profession made him
rich, and he made his profession respect

DECEIVED EY A DUDE,

How q SS, 100000 Bid by an Unknown Man
Was Taken Seriously.
Samuel p Schuckcrs died recently
at Wooster, o. Ho was brother of J.
W. Schuckers, private secretary of Salm-
on P. Chase, and brother-in-la of
John H. Oberly, ex-ciyil service COM
missioner. An interesting incident is re-
called by Schuckers' death which has
never found its way in the newspapers.
The incident occurred anumber of years
ago, and during the time Of the sale of
the Lake Shore railroad at Cleveland it
happened that SChuckers and John Nc
Sweeney, the great criminal lawyer,
met at tho sale. McSweeney had but
short time before mado great hit by
his political speeches at Cleveland and
Philadelphia anG was attracting atten-
tion all over tho country. At this par
tioular time ho was trying case at
Cleveland. Young Schuckers was i'll
these days veritable dude and very
sprucy.
He went to Cleveland to have time,
as he always left Wooster to celebrate,
and was having good. glorious time OH
this particular occasion. He was small
and wiry in stature and always carried
silk umbrella. 1t happened that he
met McSweeney in the rotunda just as
he had finished an argument and while
the sale of tho Lake Shore railroad was
going on. They stopped fer moment
at the edge of the excited crowd bid
ding in the road. There We're number
of syndicates presenred-foreign,V Van
derbilts, Goulds and others. The bid
ding had reached So, 100, 600. In spir-
it of devilishness young Schuckers bid
So, 500, 900. In a moment rush was
made toward tho new bidder, and a de-
mand was mado to know what syndi-
cate he represented. His only reply
was, with wave Of his silk umbrella,
"Go away from me-" The excited rep
rcsentatiyes Of the other syndicates ask
ed for recess, which Was granted, and
in 90 minutes they came back. when the
bid was raised to $4 600, 900 and sold.
Mr.. Sohuckers' sprucy appearance and
being i'll company with the great crimi-
nal lawyer had led them to believe he
represented some secret syndicate who
were trying to gain possession of the
valuable railroad property. Cincinnati

THROUGH OTHER EYES.
Life at HARVARD College From the English
Point CT View.

Tho student lifo of America is emil
nently an American institution. 1t has
grown Up in an odd compound of native
manners ard foreign influences, which
form an essentially now product. 1t is
good deal more complex in its organiza-
ton than anything known Oh the Isis or
the Cam. There is more details in it,
and consequently less breadth of effect.
The university organizations are in
Vulnerable. Men are banded together in
college clubs for every conceivable pur-
pose OF study OF amusement. Their bond
of union may be their attempt to talk
Greek with the accent of modern Attica,
Or it may be only u passion for domi-
nos, but it las all the notes of institu-
ton i'll it's machinery of committee,
president and secretaries. Great variety
of life comes from the differences in for
tune among the students, but of late
years there has been laudable attempt
on the part Of the university and college
authorities to introduce d more uniform
simplicity. Plain living is the cry, and
with this secured it is believed the
thinking Will take care of itself.
AT Harvard some time ago Professor
Palmer tried 70 discover how far the liv-
ing had departed from the philosophic
standard by asking some hundreds Of
students for i return of their annual ex-
rcnditure. The answers showed that
Harvard at least had nothing to be
ashamed of. Many Of the students, less
than IL fourth, spent less than e130
year; some less than Gl00. The average
probably did not amount to the G200
year which the professor regards as an
entirely adequate allowance for both
ease aud refinement. Yale is less costly
than Harvard, SO these institutions at
least are not open to the reproach that
they have introduced the millionaire in
to American university lite.-London

BREEDING BUFFALOES.
Come CT the Hybr:ds That Ara Produced

4 famous Montana character is Char
lie Allard OF Ravalli. Mr.. Allard is IA
nous mainly because he is one of tho
owners of the largest herd of buffalo in
tho country, and no man living has
given to these now rare animals moro
patient study and attention than he.
''The coldcst storms OF winter do not
trouble them,' he says, ''for their
thick, shaggy coats are windproof.
During the heavy SHOWS and blizzards
they climb the hills, and turning their
breasts to tl,r wind defy the storm.
They feed where the SNOW is thinnest.
