HAVING recently made a "perem-
tory" demand upon Peru for the pay
ment of disputed claim, the present
administration has just made another
one upon Marocco. With the excsp-
ton OF Mr.. Cleveland's totally mex
plicable declaration of war" against
Great Britain, on account of dispute
over boundary line between that
government and Venezuels, the "per.
emptory" demands of the United
States are made exclusively upon the
weaker foreign countries, those un-
able to resist them. Bullies individual
ly and collectively, as rule, always
know whom to asssil.

Turkey will Favor Peace.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 5.-The Tur-
kish government officials are now mani.
testing a desire to expedite the settle
ment of the peace negotiations, owing
to straitened state of the exchequer
rendering it impossible under the pre-
sent circumstances to contract new
loan. 1t appears that the Turkish feet
which left the Dardanelles on Tuesday

cluded the Chinese is confirmed by ad-
vices brought by the Australian. When

the latter believes in free silver coinage,
and who now says the Professor will

accepted an invitation from the business

CHARGED WITH BErRAYAL.-Charg

ed with betraying his one-time sweet
heart and fancee, Benjamin Butts, q
prominent citizen of Suffolk, Va, was
yesterday arrested and committed to
the county Jail. The betrayed woman
is Laura Robinson, aged nineteen, who
appeared before Justice A. s. Eley, and
told her story. Butts was refused bail.
Laura told Justice Eley that Butts and
sine were pledged to marry. The bridal
trousseau was prepared, and every
thing was put in readiness for their
coming nupitals. Then the girl was be-
trayed by her lover. Since then Butts
has repeatedly promised to marry her,

said to be corroborated by her parents

THE UNIVERSITY.

A meeting of the alumni of the Uni
versity of Virginia was held at Ho'
Springs, yesterday, to discuss the ad'
visibility of recommending to the
Board of Visitors of the university the
appointment of president for the in
stitution. Upward of a hundred alum
nj were in attendance.
Arguments were presented both for
and against the idea, among the speak
ers being Capt. c. M. Blackford, Of
Lynchburg; Col. Marshall, of Balti-
more; Mr.. Wyndham Meredith, Of
Richmond; Mr.. Henry T. Harris, of
Rockingham; Mr.. Chas. S. Stringfel-
low, of Richmond, Mr.. Colston Black
ford, of Lynchburg, and Major Holmes
Conrad, of Winchester. While the
general opinion seemed to prevail that
president should be elected, never
theless those who oppose the idea were
in the majority by two votes.
The meeting seems to have been en-
tirely without authority, except from
a committee appointed to investigate
the matter by the general Alumni So
ciety, which committee decided to Call
the meeting due to the fact that 80
MANY alumni were in attendance upon
the Bar Association now in session
there. 1t is known that quite mum
Der of alumni who are there for the lat
ter meeting failed 10 attend the alumni
meeting yesterday afternoon, and, fur
Their, that the sentiment among them
favors president. A representative
of the Richmond alumni offered ninety
eight proxies in favor of such an officer,
but they were not admitted. The
Board of Visitors of the university
meet in special called session in No
vember to decide the question.

sour Of the few 40 called gold demo.

SOME OF the few 80 called gold demo-
Gratis in Virginia say they will not sup
port the ticket to be nominated by the
Roanoke convention if that convention
shall endorse the Chicago platform.
Why. of course they won't. They ran
the risk of a force bill last fall, and
wouldn't hesitate to subject the State
to republican, that is negro, rule, rather
than have bimetallism. And then, too,
what are political platforms in countries
OF unrestricted suffrage? A good man
will make good officer, though elect
ed on bad platform, and bad man
will readily make the best platform con
form to his own evil and selfish pur-
poses. The "gold democrats" are not
wise. If they were, they would conhne
themselves to counting their money and
coupons, and let politics alone. There
is not one OF them with as much sense
az Thompson's colt, who doesn't know
now. that the condition of the country
could not possibly have been worse
than it is, even if the national demo
cratic ticket had been elected last No
yember.
