 City of Mexico, July 27.-The an nouncement that the Equitable Life As eurance company of New York had subscribed for $2,00O0 00o of Mexico's new 5 per cent. gold bond issue created a most favorable impression in financial circles here. The success of that DOT tion of the new bonds allotted to the United States has aroused much com- ment for it is now seen that new era in the relations of American investors and capitalists to Mexico has dawned. European interests here naturally do not look with favor on this new and favor able attitude of American investors to- wards Mexico and all organs controlled by European interests are much annoy ed The City of Mexico is practically being rebuilt and building permits have been granted in number in excess of any previous period in it's municipal his- tory.

WHERE SLAVES GOT RELIGION.

Jimtown is not on the new map of
 Missouri. Before the war it was the
 only suburb of St. Joseph. It was a stone building back in the woods from l the big road. At certain seasons it was occupied five days in the week as a schoolhouse. It was for rent on Sunday to any denomination that wanted it for church purposes.
 But the original purpose of the build ing was to have place to convert ne-
 groes who were hired out by their own CTS. There were several plantations in that neigborhood on which negroes from
 Virginia and Maryland were colonized.
 A few men owned nearly all the slaves
 in the county, and let them to people
 who were not financially able to own such property, or who found it cheaper to hire than own.
 Whatever crime was committed in
 St. Joseph or it's county at that time, was always charged to a negro, and If an arrest was made the negro suffered, and so did his master, for the latter went to the slaves rescue from a mer- cenary more than any other motive. And thus in hiring help the question came to be asked, 'Is your negro hon. est?" The simple af1irma tive averment Of the owner was not sufficient. It was necessary for him to add, "He is not honest, but got religion at Jimtown," mentioning the date. Sometimes an r-particular employer would ask who conducted the meeting, for there were a few preachers in the community yyIo 1tat Ia, picious circumstances which had not been explained
 white man in St Joseph wanted to hire colored whitewasher. The white man was noted for his strong Baptist faith and leanings, and when the owner of the property said his negro got reli- | zion at Jimtown the employer asked who | preached, and, upon being told said: | That preachers a Methodist The | owner could not deny this.
 The employer wanted to know if the | owner didn't have any Baptist negro. l The owner had none he could recom- mend for whiteWashing. 4 few days l later the owner went to town and in- formed the man who wanted to hire that the whitcWasher had ''backslid' from the Methodist church and got religion over again, and had been baptized in Black Snake Creek on the previous Sun- day. The man was hired for year for s100. Before the contract expired white washing business took a drop, and the employer informed the owner that the negro had ''broke over the Baptist reli- sion'' and was no good for work But he owner was very willy old Virginia

vAGARIEs OF THE TURKISH CENSOR.

 | The Russian censorship Is occasionally re-
 sponslble for extravagantly foolish or lnsen- | Sate1y ludrcrous vagary, but 1t Is doubtful 1 whether it can, as the saying goes hod candle to the gravely comic performances of the Ottoman Cato, who now controls the Typographical establishments of Stamboul l The "Athens Asty" vouches for the authen- tcity of the following incident: Greek benevolent society in the Turkish capital re- Cently issued q printed circular appeal to the
 Hellenic community in Stamhou for some
 special charitable object The appeal con
 talned q citation from the epistles of St.
 Paul 10 the Galatians. Two days after the
 publication of the circular commissary of
 police from the censor's department called
 upon the printer and demanded the address
 of St, Paul. who was to be charged with the public utterances of seditious and politically provocative language.
 The printer was at first inclined to laugh outright at the absurdity of the request and
 indictment, but as 1t is always T little risky to venture upon a pleasantly with Turkish official he sedately replied that St, Paul. the author of the objectionable citation, had been dead for something more than eighteen police commissary. who al. 'rily exclaimed, "How dare -U1 attempt such impudent caiol. cry with me-" and forwiti arrested the prin- ter. Extraordinary as 1t may appear, the re- iteration of the same simple explanation to the censor had an equally eXasperatng effect on that intelligent official and the unfortun- ate typngrapher was locked 1lp for his tper- verse contumacy."

DANGERS OF THE BOIS DE BOU-
 LOGNE

According to one of the most respec- table organs of the French press, the
 condition of the Bois de Boulogne leaves much to be desired. Our con- temporary affirms that the insecurity of the Bois is now notorious, and that | cases of robbery are getting increas- ingly common. People who drive are in perfect safety, for the footpads have a wholesome dread of attacking car-
 riage defended by coachman, and
 maybe a footman as we'll; not to speak
 of the Parisian who now, it appears,
 usually carries a revolver for his per
 sonal protection in these troublous
 times. But people on foot are constant
 ly being attacked. and these robberies occur even in broad daylight.
 Not long ago lady walking in the Bois was stopped by rutlian and stripped not only of her valuables but also of some of her clothes and the thief disappeared down side path almost before she had recovered from her fright sufficiently to cry out. Every thing combines to give the footpad im- punity There are only thirty-three park keepers for the whole of the Bois de Boulogne, and that the police are un- able to keep order was shown by the pillage of the Cafe 'Armenonville after the races at Longchamps. The prom ised lighting up of the Bois at nightfall will be an advantage when it is carried out, but the number of keepers should be increased during the daytime, as the locality is one which the thieves have discovered just suits their purpose. It is the duty of the government and municipality to remove from the finest promenade in Paris the reproach of be. ing the Forest of Bondy of the nine teenth century.-London Globe.

 "He ketched a few" said Lariat Lem, "but not exactly as he allowed he was a-goin' to-"

C1ENFUEaos, Cuba, May 17.-About 5
o'clock gang of Cuban dock laborers

retired, but returned soon after with so
others and made a similar demand, us
ing obscene and profane language, in

threats. The Cuban police were or
dered to arrest the malcontents and a
general street fight followed in which
one laborer was killed and several per.

MOSS AFTER VAN WICK.

Counsel for Mazet Committee Promises
Some Interesting Evidence.
New YORK, May 1.-THE Mazet in
vestigating committee has resumed its
session after prolonged recess. A fair
sized crowd was on hand early, among
them being Mayor Van Wyck, who,
with the heads of various city depart
ments had been summoned to appear.
It was announced that the committee
will sit daily, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays until its work is
concluded, but this programme was in
terfered with by the extra session Of the
legislature which begins on Monday
next.
During his examination, Mr.. Moss,
counsel for the committee, asked Mayor
Van Wyck a question which implied
that the mayor was financially inter-
ested in pool rooms, which are alleged
to be running here in violation of law.
Mr.. Van Wyck Indignantly denied the
imputation and challenged Mr.. Moss to
produce the evidence. The only salts
faction the latter would give the mayor
was to tell him to wait a day or two
and he would learn something that he
evidently knew nothing about now.
Mayor Van Wyck resented bitterly
an insinuation by Mr.. Moss that Mr..
Croker was of necessity consulted by
the mayor in reference to city affairs.

Peace Congress.
New YORK, May ia dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Paris
quotes Archbishop Ireland as saying:
"All civilized nations favor the un-
derlying principles of The Hague con-
ference. All intelligent men recognize
that international differences should be
settled upon an intellectual basis
wherever possible.
while | cannot anticipate the work
Of the delegates, and while it would i'll
become me to offer suggestions to such
a distinguished intellectual body, 1 am
free to say that there is no other work
so well calculated to bring happiness to
all nations as that with which they are
confronted.
"The piling up of huge armies is the
bane Of Europe. Most countries have
reached the straining point in this re-
spect, and unless a remedy is supplied
speedily, irretrievable ruin stares them
in the face. Civilization and christian
ity are concurrent forces which could
and should be made to stop the specta-
Gle of nations arming Themselves to the
teeth for the purpose of destroying one
another. Mind, l am not an advocate
of peace at any price. There are times
when war is unavoidable. Occasions
may even arise whena war is as lawful,
as righteous, as holy as any of the wars
of the crusades. When was in Rome
found everybody in favor of peace"

STUDENTS OBJECT.

Riot at Princeton Caused by Pawnee Bill
Paratling the Public Streets.
PRINCETON, N. j., May 17.-Princeton
students and Pawnee Bills Wild West
employees indulged in a pitched battle
during the day and many on both sides
were seriously hurt. For 50 years it has
been an unwritten law of Princeton
that no circusparade must pass through
the streets. Pawnee Bills Wild West
combination violated traditions and pa
raded. The result was the fiercest bat
tie Princeton has seen in many years.
The procession reached the college
campus without trouble, but was met
at Nassau street by 900 or 700 students.
Cannon crackers left over from previ-
GUS celebrations, eggs purchased at
nearby stores and vegetables bought OF
confscated from the stores were the
weapons. The men unable to obtain
these missiles armed themselves with
clods of turf hastily torn from the
lawns. With these the students began
the attack and kept it up mercilessly
for some time. The cowboys and In
dians

and used their whips freely. Stung by
the whips and bruised by the riders
running into them the students became
ugly and in moment the missiles that
were annoying but not dangerous were
replaced by stones and the fight became
serious. Revolvers were drawn, but,
fortunately, the owners were wise
enough to fire over the heads of the
enemy. Some of the Mexican or South
American cowboys unslung their bolos
and used these with great effect, the
leaden covered ends being exceed dipgly
effective. The cowboys charged the
crowd several times and rode down
those who could not get out of the way.
In this manner Edward Dillon, col
ored man, was knocked down and was
kicked on the head by pony and his
skull fractured. A student was injured
by pony trampling upon him. An
other was wounded by a bolo and an
other was struck by an Indian with one
Of the snake whips. Many students
were less seriously hurt. Many cow
boys and Indians were also badly
bruised and hurt.

NOT REPORTED
General Brooke Said to Have
Made No Mention of the Gu
ban Situation
In Dispatches to the War Depart.
notwithstanding to Washing
ton Officials,
Cuban Generals" Are at the
Bottom of the Whole Trouble
There.
Think They Do Not Get a Fail
Share Of the $3,00O,OO0 to
Be Distributed.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Gen. Brooke
has not reported to the war department.
any serious situation in Cuba, and it is
not believed at the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condi-
tion Of affairs. No advice is given Cen
eral Brooke, as it has been the policy of
the president to clothe the officers in
command in the islands with plenary
powers to deal with situations as they
arise and hold such officers responsible.
The confidence of the war department
in General Brooke was strengthened by
the visit of Secretary Alger to Cuba.
What had been done and what was 60
ing forward seemed to Secretary Alger
to be for the best interests Of all the
people of the island. It is said to be
the policy of General Brooke to deal
mildly with the Cubans and to avoid, as
far as possible, any action which will
tend to irritate them; but that he will
be firm when it is necessary and the
disturbers will be made to understand
that no overt act is permitted. Com
munications that General Brooke has
made to the war department regarding
the situation are not given to the public
but the officials unders tand that the
source of present trouble is til at "gen.
erals'o the Cuban army are disappointed
because they are not likely to realize as
much out Of the money appropriated for
the army as they think they should.
These generals" all believed that they
would secure proportion of the money
equal to their rank and their own esti-
mate of their service. The whole trou-
BILE regarding the payment of the money
and the delay may be traced directly to
these officers, who, as members of the
assembly, or as supporters of Gomez,
have constantly raised obstacles in the
way of a peaceful disarmament of the
Cubans and the settlement of the affairs
of the island.
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerations. The United States will
remain for the present in absolute con.
troll of the island, and the orders of the
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.
