NELIDORFFS RETURN.
Russian Ambassador Creates Some
Excitement at Constantinople.

New York, Dec. IA special cable
gram to the Herald from Constantine
pie says: The return of the Russian
ambassador NJ. De Nelidorff, has ere
ated some excitement. as he is the
bearer of the latest directions of the
car for the future policy of Russia.
The general opinion here is that Rus
STA has not changed her policy of firm
moral pressure to obtain the necessary
reforms, in conjunction with the other
powers. but will show equal firmness
against force being used.
The powers will, in the opinion of a
high diplomat, now formulate ex-
tensive demands, but are prepared to
accept much less than they ask for.
A sensational account, published in
the London Daily Mail, representing
that a reign of terror is existing here
owing TO the arrest of few young
Turks. is wildly imaginative.
A dispatch from Canea. Crete, De-
cember II, states that the gendarmerie
reorganization committee has arrived
there and has Gained the excitement
that was prevailing.

Making merry with the rain,
With the fellow winds 2-fare.

Bearing down on Deacon PlattS

We've come down from I>ennebec,
Tramping since last Sunday.
Looping down the coast II Name
With the sea for a refrain.
And the naples neck and neck.
All the way to Fun iy-
Sometimes lodging IT an inn
Cosy as a dorm )uSe;
Sometimes sleeping on 4 knoll
With no roof-tree but .he pole;
Sometimes haley welcomed III
At an old-lime farmhouse.

A GREAT TIME.
That Is What Cleveland Is Having
in the Big Marshes.

Georgetown, S. c., Dec. 17.-As the
presidents mail boat, the Water Lily
did not come up to the city this eve
ming, nothing definite can be learned
as to what success the president and
his party had today in shooting ducks
in the big marshes. Mr.. Cleveland and
Captains Evans and Lamberton went
TO the marshes very early this morning.
and had not returned to the Wisteria
when the steamer Planter came by at
u o'clock. Captain Hubbard stopped
there to give the latest papers to Com
mander Ackley, in charge of the light
house district. Captain Hubbard says
that he saw long rows of ducks hang
ing upon the forward deck of the Wis
terra, and he brought to tbs city two
fine launches of venison, to be ex-
pressed to Mrs. Cleveland, at Washing
ton, this afternoon.
1t is safe 10 say that the president
had good sport and bagged a number
of mallards today.

MINISTER BAYARD.
He Makes Another of His Extreme
Speeches, This Time to Students.

Bristol, England, Dec. 17.-Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, the American min
lister. arrived here today in response
TO an invitation to distribute the prizes
and deliver an address to the students
al the annual commencement of the
Technical School of the Society OF
Merchant VenturerS. Mr.. Bayard was
invited to be present at the commence
ment, for the reason that his great
grandfather on the maternal side be-
longed to a distinguished family of
Bristol merchants. This great grand
father was born in Bristol in 1109, and
subsequently settling in Philadelphia
was mayor of that city as his father
before him had been mayor III Bristol.
The Society of Merchant Venturers is
one of the surviving medieval guilds
The society forms an unbroken link
between the Cabots and the present
day and purposes in connection with
the people of Bristol to celebrate in an
adequate manner next year the four
hundredth anniversary of the sailing
of the Cabot expedition. AS Mr.. Bay
ard is a lineal descendant of an an
cient mayor of Bristol and member of
the Merchant Venturers, his presence
at the days ceremony was particularly
appropriate. He took luncheon with
the council of the Bristol chamber of
commerce in the board room of the
council. Replying to a toast to the
health of the guest of the occasion Mr..
Bayard said that there was much in
the hearts of Americans today to make
them look upon England as their old
home. The ties of blood, he said, were
thicker than water. Continuing, ne
expressed a hope that when he re-
turned to America no cloud would OBJ
struct the vision of any minded
man. Mr.. Bayard then proceeded to
make his usual extreme anglophile
speech, concluding by declaring his
belief that the peace existing between
the two English speaking nations
would never be broken.
Subsequently Mr.. Bayard went to
the technical school, where he was re-
ceived b. the board of directors, the
professors. members of the company
and civic officers. The room in which
the distribution of the prizes was to
take place was crowded. After sew
eral addresses had been made to the
students, Mr. Bayard was introduced.
He made a speech in which he praised
the great educational work that was
being done by the society of Merchant
Venturers. He said the more the peo-
PIE of Great Britain and the United
States were educated, the less would
be the cause of difficulty or feud be-
tween them. Mr.. Bayard briefly re-
ferred to the fact of his being a de-
scendent of one of the old-time Bristol
merchants and then proceeded to dis
tribute prizes that had been awarded
to the school students, speaking a few
words to each prize winner.
The ambassador was warmly ap-
plauded.
London, Dec. 1.-THE Standard and
Daily News will tomorrow publish edi-
torials euloSistic of Ambassador Bay
ard. The Standard says:

GOOD ROADS HELP VALUES.
Excellent Work and Excellent Re
suits in Massachusetts,.

San Francisco Call: At the present
time Massachusetts seems to have set
the example and pace fer the country.
According to a recent report of the
road commission of that common
wealth, the total expenditure of the
state on it's road work this year has
been 100000 and it is expected that
the legislature will be asked for SS0O,00)
for 1897. The commission has been in
existence for only three years, and
during that time 100 miles of improved
highways have been constructed The
fact that a larger sum of money is
expected to be voted during the coming
year than in the present one is suffi-
cient evidence that the work done is
satisfactory to the people and is re-
garded as an economy in every sense
of the word.
It is computed that in some districts
of Massachusetts there has been an
average rise in the value of property
along improved roads of over Sc an
acre. 1t is moreover estimated that
the losses 70 farmers in that state in
hauling their product over mud roads
as compared with the cost of hauling
it over improved roads amounts to
more than enough to pay for the i'm
