ruffies was an elastic band running
completely around the skirt Thus,
though the fashionable effect was OBJ
tanned, the legs of the wearer were not
restricted, and walking, in the ordinary
way, became pleasant and graceful
exercise.

taken off the market, though the

War Probable.

Constantinople, Oct. 1S.-Strong dip
lomatic pressure is being brought to
bear upon Constantinople by England,
France, Germany and Russia to COM
pei the withdrawal of Turkish troops
from the Greek frontier, and to extort
assurances OF peaceful relations between
the Turks and Hellenes.
Turkey will resist the plan. It's re-
cent alliance with Rounlania inSures it
against flank attack from Bulgaria,
and there is no doubt that German and
Austrian pledges have been secured
guaranteeing Teutonic force, if neces-
sary, to keep off the hands OF the larger
powers. The consequence is that war
between Turkey and Greece is be-
coming every day stronger probability.

The negro question came up IN the
national convention Of the Christian
Church in Topeka, Kansas, yesterday,
and was treated at length by J. d.
Lehman, president OF the Southern
Christian Institute in Mississippi. He
said:
FIVE do not take steps to discharge
our duty toward the negroes, their de-
generation will rapidly undermine our
society. The emancipation prcclama-
ton freed about 1900, 900 negroes, or
about one-eighth of our entire popula'
ton. In the last As years these have
increased to about 100000, SO that
they are still about one-tenth of our
population, IN spite of the fact that
millions Of foreigners are cast on our
shores every decade. In some localities
they are now 95 per cent OF the popula-
ton; in some states they are over 90
per cent and in the entire south nearly
40 per cent. The social conditions Of
our towns and villages are simply alarm
ing. Unless we arrest sinister tendon
cies we must prepare TO see IN the next
so or rs years labor strife, mob violence
and night rider depredations.
Kansas over half century ago was
the theatre OF John Browns exploits
and the nest in which abolitionism and
dreams OF negro equality were Matched.
That state seems to be reapiug what
was sown there in by-gone days,

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 10

THAT we are living liz perilous times
is generally admitted by all persons
who are watching passing events. The
occurrences of the past few weeks,
one following close upon the heels OF
another, are ominous. The sudden
transition OF the kingdom ofPortugal in
to modern republic and the expulsion
OF prelates, monks and nuns from the
country are events, which naturally al
tract much attention. The exiles seem to
be pilgrims indeed, as no country wants
them within their borders. While
the fires of republicanism in Spain are
growing fercer daily, that nation has
suddenly determined to renew the war
on Morocco. One of the most colossal
strikes in history has been precipitated
in France and the railway system OF
that country is now virtually tied up
with the telegraph and signal devices
crippled, rendering it unsafe to operate
trains even when in charge OF the
military. There is every reason to be-
lieye a revolution is to follow. While
all these acts are being chronicled
sporadic cases OF cholera are being
reported here and there in continental
Europe, while one victim OF the scourge
has been discovered in London and
another in New York. In our own
country forest fires have snuffed out
the lives OF many persons, towns and
villages in the northwest having been
completely wiped out and others
men aced.

various other city officials and politi-

$500 for official expenses when his
salary was only 800. The mayor

Spain an armed camp, with every
soldier in the empire under arms. AL

him. He will take personal command
of the situation and lead his soldiers in

being kept in barracks, SO that ey

trouble at moments notice.
