were begun to-day in a determined man
ner. The families of two men who have
taken active part in the labor demonstra
tions, were first thrown out. The
evictions were carried on at Summit and
Adelaide, and the scenes on the roads to
day are likely to be repeated all over the
region. To-night the curator* assert
that the strikers' ranks are breaking at
many points. Eviction is a powerful
lever, and the rank and file of the
strikers arc becoming dissatisfied with
the leaders.
A crowd of infuriated foreigners at
tacked the bouses of several men who
had returned to work to-day, smashing
tie- windows and doors. (>ne woman
wis badly injured. Thirty arrests have
been made. The bankers say a steady
run has been going on ever since the

EASTERN' BASERALE.
Spalding and the Chicago Club—Yes
terday's (.ames.
Chicago, April 14. —At the annual
meeting of the Chicago Ball Club to-day
A. G. Spalding declined re-election to the
Presidency, and James A. Hart was
elected to succeed him. Hart has had
wide experience in baseball and is thor
oughly conversant with Spalding's meth
ods, so it is unlikely that there will be
I any change in the club. Spalding, in a
j letter to Secretary Young, says he was
compelled to retire or neglect liis private
business, ln the course of his letter be
says tlie natural tendency of any profes
sional game is downward, and without a
strong and fearless central organization,
actinji with other associations, under an
j equitable national agreement, it is impos
! Bible to long retain the confidence of the
public, which is necessary to success.

Ivett's overcoat he was in doubt about.
He was then asked if Fowler and De
tective Law had ever called at his store,
but before he had time to answer Budd
jumped np excitedly and said bo saw-
Fowler shake his head, a.s if giving wit
ness a pointer. Reddy, for the prosecu
tion, then said that he was getting tired of
these accusations and Budd should take
tbe witness stand if he wanted to prove
them. At this Budd, Fulkworth and
McCabe each successsively swore that
they saw Fowler shake bis head, but
could not say he was looking at witness
or vice versa. He might have done it ab
sent-mindedly.
Fowler took the stand and said if he
shook his head he didn't know it, and it
was not for the witness. The court de
cided Fowler innocent. He hoped such
accusations would not again be made uii
le-- they conld lie proved.
Sorsley, Snelliug's Postmaster, then
swore he saw Olsen Sunday night and
described his dress. It tallied with the
other evidence.

with Prince Bismarck, in tbo course of
which, referring to tho Chicago fail, the
ex-Chancellor said:
"It will be a great pity and a mistake
if German manufacturers allow their dis
like of the McKinley law to inlluence
them against taking part in the exhibi
tion. Germany and the United States
have always been good friends, the two
countries neither eonllict on territorial
interests nor are they political rivals.
Besides, the Germans and Americans are
bound by ties of amity, kinshipand com
mon interest, and therefore it will be re

GERMANY AND FRANCE.
The Old Enemies Are Picking at Each
Other Again.
London, April 14.—A Paris dispatch
says that the French naval authorities
express themselves as much amused at
the Kaiser's proposition that in the next
war the German fleet should destroy the
enemy by one great coup. The French
are confident of maintaining their mari
time superiority over the < urmans, what
ever may be the case on land, and a lead
ing Admiral is credited with the remark
that yery few of Germany's vessels would
survive the coup; that it would be another
Lissa, snd with more disastrous conse
quences for Germany than that hattie had
for Italy.
In other quarters the Kaiser's remarks
are accepted as indicating a set purpose
to provoke a conflict with France and
Russia, and that at no distant date. By
the manufacture of arms in France the
Russian forces will soon be completely
equipped with the most modern weapons
of destruction. It is said that the Czar's
gratification with the promptitude and
perfection ol the French-manufactured
repeating rifles for the Russian army was

Germany's SCHEME.
Paris, April 14.—1t is announced to
day that the German Government has
decided to conclude commercial treaties
with Belgium, Switzerland and Italy, in
addition to the commercial treaty now in
progress between Germany and Austria.

TIIE DARDANELLES.
Russia Successfully Forces One of Her
Ships Through.
Constantinople, April 14.—A Rus
sian warship belonging to the Volunteer
fleet, fitted out by popular subscription,
was stopped by the Turkish authorities
on duty at the Dardanelles.
The Russian vessel was proceeding on
her way to Vladivostok, Asia, near the
northern limit of t'orea, on the Sea of
Japan. She was loaded with railroad
materials and had as passengers a largo
number of "military workmen," accord
ing to the term used by the Russians,
who aro detailed to construct the Trans-
Siberian Railroad. The officer in com
mand of the Russian ship, upon being
brought to beneath the guns ol the forts
ofthe Dardanelles, immediately appealed
to the Russian Embassador at Constan
tinople— I.c Nelidott—who, in turn, en
tered the strongest protest possible with
the Turkish odicials ol this city. De
Nelidolf claimed in warm terms that the
action of the Turkish officials at the Dar
danelles was in direct and flagrant viola
tion of the commercial treaties existing
between Russia and Turkey. After con
siderable interchange of views on the
subject the Porte finally came to the con
clusion that it would be unadvisable to
detain the warship any further, and she
was allowed to pass.
The action ofthe Turkish authorities in
stopping the Russian warship was taken
on the ground that by the treaty of IK4I,
concluded in that year by the five great
Towers and Turkey, it was decided no
ship of war belonging to any nation, save
Turkey, should pass the Dardanelles
without the express consent of Tukey.
TUPPER AND TYLER.
The Grand Trunk President Makes An
other Vigorous Statement.
Montreal, April 14.—Sir Charles Tup
per's charges that the Grand Trunk Rail
road Company worked for the Liberal
side in the last election, stirred up Presi
dent Henry Tyler, who mado some vig
orous statements regarding Tupper's
remarks before sailing for England.
A cable from London to-day says the
meeting of the Grand Trunk shareholders
was very large and that Sir Henry Tvler,
in spite of the opposition by a certain
section, read his report, in which he
charged Sir Charles Tupper with plainly
bidding for the (.irand Trunk vote, but
the company declined to swerve from its
independence.
Beforo the election the Grand Trunk
was deserving of every favor from the
Dominion Government, but since then
no misrepresentation is too monstrous to
be hurled at them by Tupper and his
colleagues. Tupper's charges of cor
ruption ou the part of the Board of Con
trol were not deserving of serious con
sideration.
A noisy debate followed, but the report
was finally adopted.
Hill moved that the board be not re
elected, and this was carried hy an ap
parently large majority, hut Sir Henry
Tyler demanded a poll, which will take
place to-morrow.

the honors that ho forfeited through his
recent marriage with the Comtesse Ma
renbourg. Princess Olga was born Sep
tember 20, lbft).

fined plan, having for its ohjeet tho candi
dacy of Secretary Blame in 1892, has been
formulated hero and in tho West.
It embraces the retirement of Blame
from tho position of Secretary of State
next fall, or at any period within a fow
months when it is safe to assume that
the Italian affair will have heen satis
laetonly closed. It is tho purpose to
have his retirement from official fife take
place alter the political effect ofthe Presi

MESSIAH AGAIN.
A Mathematical Calculation Founded
ou Rible Parables.
NEW Havkn, April 14.—Professor Cal.
Totten of Yale says that a mathematical
calculation, founded upon Biblical truths,
proves beyond peradventuro that tho
Messiah will come again before the year
1900. "Some papers have published,"
Professor Totten said, "that I predict the
end of the world within this century.
That is an error. Ido not think that the
end will come for a million years, and I
have not made any prophecy about it at
all. My remarks were neither compre
hended nor even apprehended. But hero
is what Ido declare: It is not a prophecy,
for the prophecy is already told in the
Rible in the parables of the laborers in
the vineyard and the virgins, with their
lamps : A generation, in its true Biblical
sense, is seventy years, and so fifty-seven
generations traced through genealogies in
tlie Old Testament equal 3,990 years.
Hence the fifty-eighth generation began
with 3,91)1 years of the world. The hours
mentioned in the vineyard parable are
each 153 years. So multiplying these by
twelve hours, we havo 1,880. which added
to 3,9.11 equals 5,827 years of the world at
the completion of tbe vineyard parable.
Then, as tho work is naturally concluded
at sundown, the parable of tho virgins
and their lamps properly follows, and
this parable, according to tho text, repre
sents one generation of seventy years,
which added to 5,827 mako 5.597. Now
this corresponds to March, 1899."
