The Campaign in Abyssinia.

New YORK, Feb. IA special to
the Herald from Rome says: Sig
nor Crispi persists in his project of
having the forces of King Mcneil
of Abyssinia, attacked by General
Baratieri's army at time when
Mcneil is marching through a
country unfavorable to operations
by the Italians. This resolution
has aroused the greatest opposition
among the moderates and radicals.
They denounced the campaign as
indefensible and extravagant, and
demand that the chambers should
meet without delay in order to pro-
nounce upon the situation.

There is a growing conviction
stealing over the minds of all the
powers in western Europe that the
true inwardness Of the situation in
the eastern part of that continent
has not been revealed. 1t is in
creasingly certain that Russia and
Turkey have an understanding
and that in the future the car is
going to take a fatherly interest in
the affairs of the sultan, giving
him good advice, and in case of
need backing that advice with the
power of the Russian army and
navy. 1t has not as yet developed
to what extent this has been di-
gested by English John; in fact,
he was not asked.

Texas only has one republican
congressman. This is not to be
regretted in the face OF the I'M
comfortable circumstances sur
rounding business career Of the con-
testant for the Galveston seat.
Germany is having about as
much as she can attend to, with
Austria and Italy on the south,
England on the west, France in
the southwest, and Russia feeling
around the foundations Of Turkey.
The whole coast country is in
the swim. This is just what this
region wants in order to laugh in
the face of the man who tickles
her with hoe.

The arrest OF the murderers of
Thomas Dryer, of Brenham, fol-
lowed their unholy deed with a
suddenness. Now let the punish
ment by the courts be as sum-
marily executed and there will be
less talk Of lynching when a SINH
lar crime calls aloud for the rope,
when the murderers are caught
redhanded.

Negro Rapist Caught.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Feb. l.
The negro who recently assault
ed little girl in this city has been
caught in Uniontown, Pa, and
placed in jail. Chief Heaton and
two others have seen the negro,
and one of them positively identi-
fed him as the man who'came out
of the alley and jumped over the
fence on the night of the assault.
When told of this the negro begged
not to be taken back to Parkers-
burg. 1t is thought he will soon
confess. He gives the name of
James Sherman.

The democracy of Galveston

monkey with the buzz saw of a

taliate on the district with a Crow

Spain is a little disgruntled at
the manner in which the commit
tee on foreign relations in the
United States congress reported on
her relations to Cuba. Spain has
no kick coming. Those resolu-
tions were only wholesome adj
monitions as to the laws OF civil
liked warfare, which are being
violated by the belligerents on
both sides with strict impartiality.
1t was only a voice humane.

Prince Boris Baptism.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special
to the Herald from st. Petersburg
says: "The Slavophile organ, Svet,
in a double-leaded editorial, says
that the baptism of Prince Boris,
of Bulgaria, into the orthodox
Greek church, is assured. He will
not be the god-son of the pope, but
of Russia. His baptism will be a
great success for Russia's policy,
and a solemn event in the history
of the orthodox church."

The fight for supremacy in the ma
tional republican convention goes
bravely on. So far there is no
leading fact to show the supremacy
OF this or that candidate, beyond
the simple one that Reed and Nc
Kinley are the most prominent
and the fight between them so in
creases in bitterness as to justify
the prediction of the LIGHT made
months ago, that they would only
succeed in killing each other off.

The cry goes up all over the
state Of Texas for a united democ-
racy. There is so little Federal pie
in sight that there is no reason for
the observance Of the admonition.
In order to unite there must be
spoils over which the compact for
party harmony is made, and there
are none in sight.

Once Armenia is governed as
Russia dictates to Turkey, that

tics and religion and humani-

There is no reason to conclude
that Dan Stuart has not made him
self solid with the powers that be,
in securing place for his pugilist-
ic mills. The Mexican authorities
acknowledge the legitimacy Of the
arrangements to the extent Of
licensing it and collecting stamp
tax on the signs put up by the con-
testants in their training quarters.
AS to any interference OF the feder-
al authorities, that is all bosh, for
the federal authority would not
have any right to step in unless so
asked by the governor of the state
of Chihuhua. Dan will doubtless
put his pugs through their PAGES
this time.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY l., '96

There Is no indication that Japan
is going to enjoy the fruits Of her
victory over China in peace. The
movement of the great DULLES OF
Europe in depriving her Of the just
fruit of her heroic victories has
stimulated China to stir up strife
in Formoss. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that in the outcome China
will be given a twist to her pigtail
that will make her see the need Of
keeping faith with Japan. Had
Japan just been left alone she
would have civilized China in ten
years to an extent that the Euro
peans will not be able to reach in
as many centuries. Japan and
China can mix, but there is not
enough in common between the
European and the Mongolian to
come together anywhere.

Virginia committee, by whom ne was

defeat Of the national democratic ticket
by serving under the republican COM

STORM IN PARIs.-A violent tornado
swept over portions of Paris yesterday.
Omnibuses, cabs and stalls in the streets
were overturned, trees were blown
down, store windows were broken,
barges sunk in the river Seine, and the
firenen had to be called out. The
number Of casualties and injuries to
persons is large. Over fifty injured and
five dead have thus far been reported

and women had their skulls fractured
by the falling of some gates behind
which they had sought shelter from the
storm. A cab driver, who had taken
refuge in his cab, and his horses were
killed together and the cab demolished.
Nine members of the staff of La France,
who were leaving tho Tribunal de Com
merce when the storm suddenly broke,
were ali seriously injured, one having
his skull fractured. At least dozen
were carried bodily into the Seine from
the quais, and were rescued with great
difficulty, several being injured and left
in critical condition, 30 that they had
to be taken to the hospitals.
One OF The laundry boats of the Seine,
where fifty laundresses we're at work,
