 STORIES OF THE SULTAN.

The last Quarterly Review has an arti- cle on Eastern affairs, from which the following extracts are taken:
 Those who are personally acquainted with the Sultan agree in describing him as remarkably gentle, polite, and an1iable, with an active mind, great natural penetration of intellect, ani no culture. NJ. Blancard, in one of the books which we have placed at the head of this article, speaks of him as every generous sentiment, He has suc- ceeded in gaining the complete con- fidence of more than one experienced diplomatist and among them the pre- sent Minister of Foreign Affairs in France, who, in very famous essay in the Revue de Paris, endeavored to excuse, or even defend, some of the most sinister acts of Abdul-Hamid. Midhat Pasha. one of the most remark able men in the Turkish empire of our time. and an exceptionally keen observer. spoke to the writer of this article in terms of enthusiastic ad- miratiOn of the Sultan. His disciple, Mourad Bey. now the leader of the young Turkish party. acknowledges that the throne of the Ottoman Sultans has not been for centuries occupied by a sovereign so irreprOachable in his morals as Abdul-Hamid

FTTLY ESDED.

The fire chiefs boom was like boom in the stock market-biggest and most glorious at the end. Yesterday was full of interest and excitement for both the participators In the doings and the spectators, and last nights blaze of glory on the old Green was wondered at and admired by an even larger crowd than was delighted by the first even ings illumination.
 The fire chiefs depart well pleased with their visit and their treatment here. New Haven heartily reclprocates their good feeling. The city has been well pleased with them and has learn ed much from them besides being pleas antly excited and stirred up. The gen eral feeling is that the convention has been a shining success in every way, and this success will encourage the people of New Haven to other like ef- forts.
 And let it not be forgotten that New Haven is now the abode of the Presi- dent of the Internati tional Association of Fire Engineers.

RUBBING IJ IN.

Wheat climbed yesterday in way to do the soul of the agriculturist and the bull speculator good. Six cents added in one day to the price of a bushel is not bad for him that hath the bushel The wheat market yesterday acted as if there were no wheat in the world eX- cept a few meagre samples and as if the demand were more urgent than the demand of the summer girl for some- body to flirt with. How high the price will go and how high it will stay can not be told except by those who want to sell when it is high enough, and they name some remarkable figures.
 Whatever the f1uctuation in the price of wheat may be it is pretty certain that the price will not be low this year. Such bulges as that of yesterday must seem to the flabbergasted silverites as if fate was rubbing it into them. The previous great rise right in the face of the great fall in silver was sufficiently sickening to the silver theorists, and yesterdays addition was more than sufficiently sickening to them.

casion, also in winter, he observed a poor woman crying at the door of church, because the priest would not baptize her child without getting from her sum of money which she did not possess, The Pasha sentenced the priest to be stripped naked, and then to be drawn through the pond for cattle, in order as he said, to teach him to baptize for nothing. The great enemy of this Pasha was man who IS now very important person in the Western provinces of the Turkish empire, who is known as the Mollah Zeka and Is in character not unlike the dervish who has the special confidence of the Sultan. He was not long ago under detention in Constantinople, and when he re- turned to his own country he was received with frantic enthusiasm. M. Berard, in his book on Macedonia, de scribes his triumphant return and how the Mollah Zeka remained apparently insensible to the homage of his people, as, with his turban forced down upon his brows, his eyes half closed and liked upon the ground, and his hand engaged in telling his beads, he passed through the crowds of his admirers. This man is destined to play leading part in the massacres in Macedonia, which, there Is reason to believe, are even now in contemplation. The massacres in Armenia were organized by men like him, strange compounds of hypocrisy and fanaticism, who spent some time in Constantinople, then returned to their country, spoke to the people as they were gathered round the mos ques, and communicated to them the wishes of the Master

THE OTH FER SIDE.

The Klondike excitement is diminish leaking out. A rich wholesale San Francisco merchant, George L. Fish, who has returned from Dyea, says that when he left there were 1,500 men at Dyea or on the trail leading to the Chil- koot pass, while at Skagaway and on the way up to the White pass there were $500 more Few will get to Daw- son City this year. There will be thou sands at Skagaway this winter. There isn't a building in the place-nothine for shelter but tents. Some of the ad- venturers are offering their $4OO outfits for s1O0. One poor fellow in the Chil- koot pass who was reduced nearly to starvation stole side of bacon from a pack The two owners caught him and shot him dead in his tracks. The pros peetors held an inquest and justified the killing. Careful and conservative bus mess men writing from Dyea and other points in Alaska say that the ignorance of the conditions the prospectors have had to meet is appalling. Of the hun dreds who sailed with him from San Francisco, writes one, not one in twen- ty had any definite information as to how to reach his destination.
 Winter will soon set in in the Klon- dike, and next spring there will be some sad news from that region.

The total value of exports of domestic merchandise for the twelve months ending June 30 was $1,o5O, ,9S7, 900, the in- crease over the previous year having been 19 per cent. Of all this the United Kingdom took $4S3, ,265,OOO worth, and the United Kingdom and British pos sessions took $593, 100000 of it, or 56.4 per cent. of our total exports. Russia took only SS,016,O 900 worth, and South America took but $S3,76S,OOO worth, That is, the United Kingdom and the British possessions took of our surplus product last year seventeen and one- half times as much as South America, fourteen times as much as South America and Russia together and five and one-half times as much as South America, Mexico, Russia, Asia, Africa and Oceanica Qeaving out the British possessions). In view of these facts the Railroad Gazette makes the fol- lowing sensible suggestion: When we are looking about for means to in crease our foreign trade it is well to bear in mind the fact that gain of i per cent. in our sales to our kinsmen would be equal in amount to a gain of "A per cent. in our sales to Russia, 17 per cent. in cur sales to South America and 50 per cent. in our sales to China. Obviously, the business man must work along the lines of least resistance or he must fail, for some one else will inev- itably find those lines. One would sup pose that the same policy would be good for business nation. That being granted. it seems fair to assume that it is easier to add 1 per cent. to our British trade, where all the great ma chinery of trade already exists, than "A per cent, or 50 per cent, or 17 per cent
 to our trade with much poorer and much less civilized countries.

An effort is being made in Pennsyl- vania to raise the grade of it's cheese to that produced in neighboring states particularly in New York. It is sup sylvania cheese is due to a robbing of the milk of it's cream before it is con- verted into cheese. To remedy this the recent legislature provided for grades of cheese, and under this enactment full-cream cheese must contain g per cent of butter fat, three-fourths cream "A per cent, one half cream 16 per cent, one-fourth cream 8 per cent, and skinned cheese anything below per cent.

An interesting exhibit at the Trans mississippi exposition at Omaha is to be the "Tom Thumb" train, so called because it is said to be the smallest in the world. It is the work of young man without technical training. The engine weighs four hundred and fifty pounds, and it's length, with the tender, is six feet seven and one-half inches. The cylinder is one and one-half by two and one-half inches, and the driving wheels are eight inches in diameter The engine, however, hauls six obser- walton cars, in each of which two chill dren may be comfortably seated. The entire length of the train is twenty nine feet. Six gallons of water in the tender tank and five in the boiler will furnish sufficient steam to propel it for two hours.
