Wore away he ordered set of chimes
to be sent as present from him to the
Orthodox Russian Church at Bridge
port, Conn. The bells came To this coun-
try safe and sound, but an unsympa-
thiZins collector of customs refused to
admit them without the customs du-
ties were first paid. Inasmuch as these
duties would cost almost as much as
the church itself, She congregation of
the Orthodox Russian Church decided
not to pay the amount, and protested
against the course of the collector. He
was obdurate. however, and would not
change point, and as result the bells
have been 1t the barge office ever since,
and the congregation has been deprived
of the music of their chimes. and the
people in the neighborhood of the
church have been sleeping undisturbed
until noon as heretofore. Congress has
now been asked TO intervene, and bill
has been introduced providing for the
admission of the bells free of duty.

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

All hopes which had been entertained
Of the possibility of making a universal
eeI sus in the year 1900 are now at ;.n
end. The International Statistical In
stitute. which held it's meeting at ST.
Petersburg a few weeks ago, was
charged with the duty of reporting
whether all the civilized powers Of the
world could be induced TO fix one day
or period such as the close of the nine
teenth or opening of the twentieth cen
tury. for a synehronious census of pop
ulation throughout the world. Only
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland.
Brazil and Portugal consented because
THESE countries at any rate viii number
their people in 1899 Belgium. Hungary
and Japan were favorable. Spain re-
fused because it's next date is 1907 Italy
mas delayed so long that It cannot wait
until 1900. Russia has just completed
her great census of 1891 and cannot re-
new ii in 1860. nor can Great Britain or
France alter the date Of April. 1901. for
their census IL is now proposed here
that, owing to universal census being
out OF the question. there should be in
stead thereof in 1901 census of the
English-speaking races all over the
world. According to the report of the
International Statistical Institute, just
issued, the human race today numbers
1,62O,O00,000, and increases per cent

The debate on the Teller resolution
has emphasized the fact that Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, is possibly one
of the most irritable men in the Senate.
Wednesday while Senator Hoar was
speaking Mr. Daniel sought to ask d
question, but Mr. Hoar said that if he
then stopped to reply il would disturb
him very much. Senator Daniel. who
is one of the most courteous men in the
Senate. replied that the wish of the
Senator from Massachusetts was law
to him. and he would wait until he had
got through with the thread of his ar
gument. Later on, when Mr.. HOaT
came to a full stop, Mr. Teller. who had
been repeatedly interrupted by Mr..
Hoar. asked if Mr.. Hoar had concluded,
and the Senator from Massachusetts
replied tartly that he had not, and re-
fused to be interrupted.
Later on Mr.. Hoar accused Mr. Teller
of having repeatedly spoken of the
crime of '13 The Senator from Colo
rado who is an ardent champion of sill
yer, never has, as is well known in the
Senate. referred to the demonstration
of silver on this occasion as crime,
and he challenged Mr. Hoar to find in
any of his speeches the use of such Iau-
suage offering, if he could, to donate
to any charitable institution Mr.. Hoar
might name in the District the sum of
$l00. Mr. Hoar did not retract the
statement, but eVaded it by asking the
Senator from Colorado if he would pay
the donation in 44-cent dollars.
Throughout the remainder of the de-
bate, which lasted until I O'Clock. Mr..
Hoar interrupted the silver advocates
and propounded questions, while he de-
MED the right of other Senators to pro
pound interrogatories to him. Even
while Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut. was
speaking. he sought to interfere by
calling attention to the dictionary def
milton of the word bimetallism, and Mr.
Platt, the last man in the Senate
chamber to take offense was compelled
to assert his rights against the en-
croachments of the Senator from Mass
achusetts.

While England in accordance With

Of the anti-slavery movement. has
abolished "corvee'' or compulsory un-
paid work on the part of the natives in
all it's Oriental dependencies. as well as
in Egypt, Germany has just introduced
it in it's East Africa colonies. Each VIII

either on plantations or otherwise, and
without receiving any pay, that is 10
say, as slaves. 1t may be remembered
that the SueZ Canal was built by means
of corvee labor. and that thousands
upon thousands of natives succumbed
to the excessive toll imposed upon them
by their relentless task-masters during
the digging Of this ditch.

Africa NJ Berlier has devoted almcsE
his entire existence To the construction

successful methods of boring are his
inventions. His plans show that the
project of connecting the southernmOst
point of Spain with the northernmOsL
point of Africa is perfectly practicable,
and inasmuch as the owners of tho

cipal channel of the Moorish trade. the
economic consequences of the enterprise

The correspondent of a New York
newspaper wires his journal as fol-
lows from Seoul. the capital of Korea:
4 am informed on most unquesti0n-
able authority that the King Of Korea
has asked the United States minister
here for protection against pOssibld
revolutions.
Capt WiIdes, of the cruiser Boston,
refuses to land a naval force, though
strongly urged 10 do so by the king.
The foregoing could not be confirms

count of the iuJrigues in which Russian

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.

"The great secret of success in
road-making and bookkeeping is to
drain the roads, and keep the roads
drpinedby keeping the bitches open,"
writes John Gilmer Speed on "How
to Have Good Country Roads," in
the August Lodies Home Journal.
The old method was to run a plow
through the side bitches and throw
the disturbed soil, sod and all, in
the middle of the road. There it
would stay till a heavy rain came to
wash this soil back into the bitches
and filled them up again. If there
were money enough this kind OF
thing would be done over and over
again, as often as four times in a
ear. Where there were wet spots,
broken stone or gravel would be
placed IN he road and left for the
pss- ~ wagons to wear this metal
into rut- The money spent was
absolutely thrown away.

s.What has become of the Snyder
County Historical Society, with head
quarters at Middleburg? Will the
POST editor inform us whether the

We would inform the Editor of

April was neither the birth nor the
death of the organization. The
society was organized in january
and incorporated in February 1885,
The Editor of the Times would
have his readers infer that the
