With more than 100000 unemployed
people in Chicago and with more than
10000 at the point of starvation, the
exclusive set in that city Is getting even
more exclusive and the few that have
gained great wealth by some means or
other are getting harder to reach and
surround themselves with high social
walls so that the walls of distress from
their fellow beings cannot penetrate to
cast serious side to great social func-
ton. Only 800 people of the 100000
in Chicago may be properly classed as
being in society This decision has been
reached by leaders of the smart set, who
have formed an association of 90 mem
bers styled the Patriarchs. Behind the
80 is an executive committee of nine,
and at the head of this committee is
Robert I. Lincoln. Each one OF the so
is to be empowered to extend five invita-.
tions, subject tU APPROVAL by the council
of nine There must, of course, be con-
trolling feminine influence, and warm
contest is expected between the respec-
tive friends of Mrs. Potter Palmer and
Mrs. Arthur ]. Cation. Mr.. Lincoln,
the son of an illustrious father, at
the head of plutocratic set, gives occa-
sion to remark upon the degeneracy of
the times. Mr.. Lincoln has been so
closely allied with Republican plans to
enslave his fellow men, that he forgets
the proclamation of emancipation issued
by his father. If Mrs. Potter Palmer
and Mrs. Cation and other society
women of Chicago we're contending for
the honor of being the largest subscriber
to charity, the country would think
more of them. Those who do not listen
to the cries of distress of human beings
about them, in times like these, have
stony hearts indeed. They may shine
in splendor in this world, but they would
do well to see that their summer clothes
are sent along when they die.

Export Duty on Gold .

Washington, Sept. 24.-The owners
of gold mines in Nicaragua are worried
over decree published August 10 and
taking effect Immediately, establishing
an export duty of 81 gold per ounce on
gold ingots, and 81 per ounce on gold
dust. The information comes to the
state department from Consular Agent
CLANCY at Bluefields. He says the old
duty was S5.44 cents per ounce ON gold.
The mining interests have united in
petitioning the government to revoke
the decree. which they hold would be
ruinous to the new industry. Last
year the gold exports from Bluefields
amounted to $l69,545, an increase OF
$sl, 1886 over the preceding years ship

Army and navy officers here think
the harbor defenses are now sufficient

tion here, and they are strong enough

weI1-Drilled Japanese steerage Passen-
gers Land at Honolulu.


San Francisco, Sept. 24.--f the
stories Of the passengers and crew Of
the City Of Peking, which arrived here
Tuesday evening, be true, state OF
affairs exists in Hawaii which demands
the attention of the state department.
When the Peking arrived at Homo
lulu, the attention Of passengers on
board was attracted by the remarkable
symmetrical movements Of ia Japan
ese steerage passengers who were disem-
barking. Although classed az laborers,
their well-drilled and military appear
ance was too palpable to escape observa-
tion, and occasioned considerable com
ment. The japanese were evidently
under the command Of a veteran SER
geant and divided into squads Of 20
under oncommissioned officers.
During the voyage military disci-
pline was observed which created COM
ment among the other steerage passen-
gers and the steamers crew, and many
conjectures were hazarded as to the
meaning Of their being shipped TO the
islands. It was generally believed that
they were sent to the islands for the
purpose Of forcibly resisting annexa-
tion, if necessary.
Rumors of the presence of the emper-
or's soldiers are not new on the islands,
and it is said over 1000 drilled men
have been landed, and about 400 veter-
ans of the Japan-China war were ex-
pected on the next steamer.

Washington, Sept. 27.-State depart.
ment officials refuse to discuss the
statement made in the cable disptach
from Madrid, namely, that the ccun-
tries Of Europe, with the exception Of
Austria, justify the interposition OF the
United States in favor of termination
OF the Cuban war. Still, tits recalled
that while Mr.. Woodford was tarrying
in an apparently purposeless manner in
London and Paris, instead OF proceed
ing to his post in Spain, it leaked out
that the United States ministers at
various European courts had been in
structed to sound the governments to
which they were accredited, with a
view to learning how intervention in
favor of Cuba would be regarded.
Although it was generally supposed
at the time that this effort would not
succeed, there is now good reason to ac-
cept the statement in the Madrid cable
as fully warranted by the facts.

A Reindeer Express.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Secretary
Bliss, of the department of the interior,
has instructed the commissioner OF edu-
cation to have the reindeer now at Tel
ler station, Alaska, which have been
broken to work, forwaded to St.
Michaels, to be held there for use in
forwarding supplies to the Klondike
country in case of emergency. There
are about eight of the deer, which it is
believed by the administration can be
utilized in this way, and the opinion
prevails that they would be much more
uesful than dogs, because they can
travel more rapidly, draw more, and
can live on the little forage the coun-
try produces. The secretary says that
each reindeer will carry about 800
pounds, and will travel a hundred miles
a day. They are to be sent to st.
Michaels in preference to other places
because of the available stores at that
point.

points out that the CubaDs have not
been at war with Spain without the

American people.
There is great deal of comment as
to the origin Of the ultimatum canard.

responsibility for it. The people do
not think that war is inevitable. t
