THERE have lately been some semi-in-
spired limitations that Great Britain
had entered upon or was contemplating
an understanding with Russia. Posi-
bly, such an agreement as this between
Russia and Turkey might be part of
that understanding. Otherwise Great
Britain, if she is cons stent with her
policy for the last century, must resist
the surrender Of Constantinople to the
point of war.

million tons, or two hundred thousand

allegation that Russia and Turkey have
concluded an offensive and defensive
alliance may be true in spite of recent
denials. In the present Kaleidoscope of
European politics any surprise is posi-
BILE any day. Great Britain has no
friend anywhere on the continent. If
she lie able to form an alliance it will be
only because the interest of the other
signatory nation is purchased by her.
Russia has struggled for a century for
perpetually open seaport. CONSTANT
nople, of course. preferred above all
others. Great Britain heretofore has
beer the chief power to block this de-
sire. Sixty-three years ago Russia and
Turkey made treaty similar to the one
said to have been signed now, but the
joint action of England and France then
made it imperative. Fourteen years
ago England. as the result of a secret
intrigue with Turkey not altogether
honest as toward the other powers
again thwarted Russia in this direction.
PRINCE HENRY of Battenberg, who was
taken ill while accompanying the Brit
ish expedition against the Ashantees,
died from coast fever on his return voy-
age from Cape Coast Castle to Sierra
Leone. His death occurred on the night
of January 20, on board the British
cruiser Blonde. 1t had been his inten-
ton to recruit his health at Madeira.
After Prince Henry died, the Blonde
put into Sierra Leone, and the news of
his death was Immediately cabled to the
Queen and Princess Beatrice, at Osborne,
and also to the Admiralty and the War
Office. The Queen was intensely agitated
upon the receipt of the news. and Prin-
cess Beatrice almost crazed with grief.
Manifestations of sorrow at the death
of the Prince are everywhere visible in
England and expressions of sympathy
with the Queen and Princess Beatrice
are heard upon all sides.
1.-THE Court Circular" says terrible
blow has fallen upon Her Majesty and
Princess Beatrice. Then follows brief
details of the Princes illness and death,
after which the Circular says:
"The Queen is most deeply afflicted by
seeing her beloved daughters happy
life crushed, and by losing most anna
BILE and affectionate son in-law. to whom
she was much devoted. The Princess
Beatrice is bearing the awful shock
with great fortitude and resignation"
Prince Henry Maurice Of Battenberg,
was born at Milan October 5, 1858. He
was married on July %, 1885. to Princess
Beatrice, the youngest daughter of
Queen Victoria, the betrothal receiving
the consent of the Queen on condition
that after they were married they should
live in England, and sin close proximity
to her Majesty" which they have done
until the move was taken that resulted
in the Princes death.

is likewise agreed. The question OF rev
enues will be serious one. There is
strong prejudice against making taxes
higher, but there is no other way to
meet the extraordinary expenses that
must be taken care of in the next bien
NAL period. There is no doubt that
some extraordinary appropriations will
be made by this Legislature. Bills have
been introduced for appropriations ag-
gregating over 100000 for monuments
on the battlefelds of Shiloh. Chicka-
manga and Vicksburg, in commemora-
ton of the deeds of Iowa troops. An
other $4,000 will be asked to celebrate
the semi centennial of the State; 5000
will be wanted to build the first wing of
a memorial hall; and at least one new
building will be recommended for the
State university, and an appropriation
is expected to be made for it.

"THE good opinion entertained re-
garding Miss Clara Barton" says the
New York Tribune, will be strength
ened by the modest and frank talk
about herself with which she favored
one of our reporters before her depart
ure. She deprecates being called brave,
or noble. or heroic. and says that she is
simply a woman who is trying to do her
duty, and who has faith to believe that
she will be able to accomplish the object
she has in view. She will not proceed
Immediately to Constantinople, but ex-
poets to arrive there in about three
weeks. AS to the plan of campaign to
be adopted on her arrival she has moth
ing to say; it will be determined by the
circumstances found to exist at that
time. Disclaim it as she may, however.
Miss Barton is displaying true heroism
in endeavoring to be the almoner Of re-
lief to the afflicted Christians in Ar
menia, and is entitled to support and
aid in the most practical form from the
people of this country"

THEODORE RUNYoN, United States
ambassador to Germany. expired sud
denly and unexpectedly in Berlin on
Monday morning, January q. Mr..
Runyon had been in somewhat feeble
health for some time past. but no i'm
mediate fatal results were anticipated.
No longer ago than last Tuesday even
ing he was present at dinner given in
his honor by exEmpress Frederick,
mother of Emperor William.
Last summer Mr.. Runyon had planned
to make an extended trip through Nor
way but on the advice of his physician
he abandoned this trip and instead went
to Carlsbad, where he took the cure. He
subsequently went to Axenstein, in
Switzerland, for the purpose of taking
an aftercure. Since that time, however,
he has manifested great activity in the
discharge of the duties of his office,
which have been more than usually on
erous on account of the complicationsin
European affairs, which have more or
less demanded the attention and care of
the diplomatic representatives of all
nations.
Ambassador Munyon's death will
come as great shock to official and So
cial circles in Berlin, where he was
great favorite.
Mr.. Runyon was the successor OF Will
liam Walter Phelps, who held the place
of German minister for four years. He
was a gallant soldier and Fort Runyon
on the Alexandria railroad, at the South
end of Long bridge, near Washington.
D. c., is perpetuation of his name.
At the time of the appointment of
Mr.. Runyon it was remarked as being
that of the Office seeking the man. His
name had been presented to the Presi-
dent by Senators Mcpherson and Smith.
and he knew nothing of the application
which was being made in his behalf un-
til he was asked by letter if he would
accept. The unequivocal Endorsement
which he received from the Senators
and the high reputation enjoyed by him
in the State led the President to make
the appointment without hesitation. He
was man of unquestioned ability and
high social attainments.

A most delightful motion was made
before a Grand Army Post at a recent
meeting. 1t was set forth by one
legged veteran of the war, and it was to
the general effect that the G. A. K.
present wooden legs to the legless vet
Grams of the Southern army.
1t is not to be supposed that South
ern veterans cannot supply their own
legs, or that they all are in need OIL
them. But there have been improve
ments lately made in the artificial leg
industry that render all legs of more
than years standing ancient and
capable of much improvement. and
it is thought the purchase of a supply
of these new and highly improved ones
would be a chivalrous move on the part
Of the G. A. R. The Grand Army Posts,

buying in quantities, could purchase
them much cheaper than men could
individually. The whole move would
be a step in the direction Of chivalrous
conduct which the North is criticised
for lacking. and would prove 20 North
and South that there can be high chlY-
airy au both sides OF j.e lu.. At.er-
wards there would be a grand general
reunion.
BEST LEGS IN THE WORLD.
There is no country in the world that
pretends TO make cork legs as they are
made here Legless men come from
France, from Argentine Popublic, from
Russia and from that home OF science,
Germany, to get legs here. The finest
legs are turned out after patents kept
exclusively for trade this side of the
ocean. These legs are lighter, more
supple and fitted with appliances that
make them wonders of mechanical
skill. Each leg is made 10 order. and
il takes two men one week 10 complete
a good limb.
The most remarkable thing about the
artificial leg trade is that those who
are engaged in ii wear false legs or
arms. They become experts by oXper-
imenting with their own substitute
limbs. The largest retail place in New
York has two partners. One wears
two wooden legs; the other has a false
leg and a false arm The foreman is
a oue-legeed man and the clerks are
minus elbow. finger, leg or rib
The expression cork leg was used
bv the veteran who made the motion
before the G. A. r. He said that the
wooden legs now worn were very heavy
and cork ones should be substituted.
This is a mistake. as far as the word
ing goes. There never has been, and
never will be. such a thing as cork
l.g. An artificial leg must be very
