ITALY AND THE POPE.
Status of the Struggle Between
. Ohuroli and State
Interview With i Cardinal TIio
of Compromise
Nhort orNulimlMHlou With Kins
Humbert.
Rome, July 8. There has been a great
doal of talk latoly about tbo position of tlio
Vatican and tlio Powors. In Franco, whero
overy action of Italy is viewed with suspicion,
it has boon said over and ovor again
that tho Popo was about to ontcr the triple
alliance. Such a stop could, of course, only
have ono meaning, according to tho
diplomatists. It would mean a rupturo
botween tho Vatican and Franco, and
strengthen tho hands of Bismarck. It is
lmpossiblo to Bpond a fortnight in Italy
without coming to sco how very remoto is
this reconciliation of tho Vatican and the
Quirinal, which has given rise to so much
anxious speculation.
" You aro more fortunate than I," said
King Umberto to tho writer ono day last
week, in reply to somo romark. " 1 cannot
go to the Vatican."
Tho speech was, of courso, only half serious,
but it expressed the Quirinal sido of
tho Vatican question admirably. Tho two
palaces whloh face each other on tlia Ro
man hills aro still separated by much more
than tho breadth of tho Stomal City. Were
Leo XIII. to bo askod for his view ho would
say, more mournfully perhaps, " I oannot
go to the Quirinal."
There was a time at which a meeting of
tho spiritual and temporal Roman sovereigns
was possible, but it has long gone by.
Had Leo XIII. on his acceesion mado a Btep
toward a reconciliation with tho "usurper,
as thore is reason to bolievo he was more
than inclined to do, thero might now have
been no Vatican question nt all at least
so far as Italy is concerned. . For good or
evil ho listened to the counsels of tho "no
compromise " Cardinals. Ho was persuaded
that the dignity and salvation of
the Ohuroh forbade him to mako tho
slightest advances. So, like his predecessor,-Pio
Nooo, ho remained an august "pris
oner;' nor with all tho good will in the
world could his jailers give him a liberty
which lm refuses. .That
yoars past been a tendency on tho part of
the hostile parties in Romo to draw nearer
to each other and forgivo their grievances
is, however, perfectly true. A now generation
has boon springing up in Italy since
tho " spoliation " forces drove the spiritual
Bovcreign to his present intronchmonts. It
is difficult, for young men who wore boys in
1870 to feel very bitter about tho real or
theoretical wrongs dono in their fathers'
day. The national resentment felt by the
" invaders " at the sudden enmity of the ecclesiastical
party has, on tho other hand,
cooled thoroughly, and indeed no longer
has any existed. In a timid,
way tho soldiers of Church nnd Stato are
coming togothor, socially and politically;
but those who fancy they will live to see
an open reconciliation between their leaders
are, I fear, ovor sanguino and will be
disappointed. Non pos9iimu3 is still the
wotohword at tho Vatican. The cardinals
havo forootton nothine, whatever their
nartv mav havo dono. Tho fiction of the.
imprisonment of tho Popo is still kept up
at the Vatican, and tho man supposed, in
Romo, to havo tho most chanco of somo day
replacing the mild and venerable PontllF
who now under Heaven presides over the
destinies of Catholicism is perhaps the
stanohest of all the cardinals in his determination
not to yield an inch till the
Italian King has cried mea culpa I. and re.
tored his capital to the ohuroh.
For that dream the restoration of tho
temporal power of the Pope haa not yot
ceased to fascinate many, and among them
tho most intolligcnt of tho cardinal.
'How or when it will come about," said
one of them to me last weok, " Cod knows.
I shall not sco it, for I am old and havo not
many years before me. But you may see
it, or, if not you, your ohildren. The present
stato of things cannot last. Tho King
and his court aro only tolerated, remomber,
at tho Quirinal. No European government
has formally recognized them. Tho temporal
power is a necessity for tho ohuroh.
Since the invadors dospoiled her she bus
lost muoh of the rcspoot once rinid her.
Tho relations between tho Court of Belgium
and the Vatican havo been broken off.
Cardinnl Jacobinl has had to threaten a
rupturo with Franco. At Moscow, during
tho recent coronation fetes, Qcnoral von
Schweiuitz, the German Ambassador, pi-
Bumcd to bo impertinent in his
attitudo toward tho Papal Nuncio."
"There was a time when nuncios
wore very differently troated," added
tho Cordinal, sadly. " With the Quirinal
the Vicar of Christ can havo no dealings.
Wo must live in hopo of somo providontial
intervention, some great popular uprising,
somo suddon or gradual rovulsion of popular
feeling that will give tho Holy Father
bick his righttul position and restoro Rome
to him."
His Eminence was equally uncompromising
when he spoke of the recent modifications
of Bismarck's policy. Ho regarded
anything less than a oompleto' annulmont
of tho obnoxious and unrighteous laws of
May as utterly unsatisfactory to the
Church, and trusted that, thanks to the
firmnoss1 of tho Vatioan and its supporters
in the German Parliament, Rome would yet
conquer Berlin.
A Prince Denounces Ilia Title Ami!
Marries Ilia Governess
Berlin July 8. Tho Post announces that
Prince Aloxander of
tho owner of the castle and estate of Sayn,
near Coblinti,has renounced his princoly
titlo and rank and privileges, and has
from the German Emperor the name
and titlo of Count of Hachenberg. His wifo,
the Princess Yvonn,'died in Octobor, 1881,
and ho has since marriod the governess of
liis chlldron. According to the family
compacts (as with other modiatked princes)
tho Prince could only contract a morganatic
marriage with a woman who was not of
rank similar to his own. Liko many other
German prlncos, and his own elder brother
Prince Frederick in tho same position a few
yoars ago, he preferred to descend from his
high rank to a lower level, where projudioo
or trnditlonal otlquotto will not hinder him
from placing his wifo by his sido. The
princely rank and estatos have passod to
his oldest son, Prinoo Stanislas, who is in
his tenth year. Princo Alexandor himself
is nearly thirty-six yoars of ago. .
DID THE EDITORS FIGHT P
Mr. Knot, of tho Texas Hlttlws, Says
lie DI1.
Philadelphia, July 8. J. Armory Knoti
ono of tho editors of Texas Siftings, who js
said to havo fought a duel with David D
Bhcnhan," of Now York, on Thursday, nt
Fiddler's Island, off Far Rocknway, arrived
in this city and registered at tho Continental.
Mr. Knot is of medium height, sparcoly
unlit, wears full brown whiskers and
mostacho a la Dundreary, and the foaturo
in his faco which attracts most attention
nftor his restless brown eyes is tho nose,
which is long and aquiline. Although at
first sight Mr. Knot gives one the impression
of ono of thoso uncommonly shrowd
gontlomen keenly alivo to his own intorcsts
nnd of his riowapnper, a short acquaintance
develops tho fact that he is what, for
want of a synonym, may bo stylod a
follow.
"Oh, yes; Sheahan and I fought a duel,
and I got a scratch, and now wo aro as
good friends ns ever wo woro," said he,
whilo dining with two friends at tlio Journalists'
Club. " Tho reports that havo
appeared in tho papers of tho affair aro
corrcot in the main, but I do not wish you
or anybody elso to suppose that because I
havo boon out with Sheahan I am an
of the duello. I may say distinctly
that I am not, but now aud then in a man's
lifo certain conditions nriBO that
his pursuing a lino of action of which
ho personally disapproves.- One tiling,
I should like to correct. The impression
has been created by certain
Mcomplishcd, but highly imaginative reporters,
thut wo were both intoxicated, or
at least partially so. This is far from tho
truth, for wo lisiik only claret and champagne
at dinner, und very uiodorately of
each.'' ,
t!,Da4rflU.anticipate.Jhatv.nny effort-will
be mode by tho Now York authorities to
arrest your lato opponent nnd yourself?"
" Well, really, 1 don'tknow. I certainly
thought it possible this morning that something
of the kind might occur, and, so
thinking, I changed my clothes and drovo
out of New York nnd lodo ncross tho ferry
to Jersey City, in the stutiy seclusion that
a New York liackiimn is always ready to
u third for anoro or less extortionate sum.
1 intend to leave hero for Texas to-morrow,"
continued Mr. Knot, "and 1 dcu't think
tlio authorities are likely to bring mo buck
from there ;" and there was a merry twinklo
in the humorist's 'lett eye ns he spoke.
The visitor evinced a not unnatural curiosity
to see the work of the bullet that
iiuitleBly sought, a temporary lodging
in the Toxan editor's anatomy; but,
although, as Mr. Knot sipped his
champagne j'rappe ho used his
right hand aud arm without apparent
otl'ort, and worked his left elbow
with a will as lie plied an uncommonly active
fork, ho was uppareutly indisposed to
explain by ocular demonstration the anomaly
of a man with a bullet wound in his
arm using tho said momber with unrestricted
freodom.
To an inquiry as to tho present whereabouts
of Mr. Sheahan, Mr. Kuox made
answer: "I cannot say just whore be is at
present, but he is keeping out of the way
and probably will continue to do bo for
some time. Tho last I heard of him was
trom Bridgeport."
Mr. Knot was ready and willing to talk
on any topio except the duol. His business
enterprises, the publio mon ho has
met in New York, literature, art, tho
drama anything, in fact, but the hostile
meeting. It is my first duel," ho said, as ho
bude his visitor a cheery good night, "but
my partnor Sweot has been out soven times,
aud he is coverod w'h scars from the top
of his head to tho soles of his feet."
What Shall Be Uoue With Our lied
Brothers?
Washington, July 8. Tho Secretary of
the Interior, having in mind tho action of
the Apaches in leaving the San Carlos reservation
some time since and going on the
war-path, is not disposed tolfurthor harbor
thoso recently captured by General Crook,
for fear thoir iutlueneo may bvcod more
discontent, and that his department should
bo held responsible for future outbreaks.
This was Secretary Tollor'a opinion at tho
oonforence to-day botween Goneral Crook,
Socretary Lincoln and Soorotary Toller.
The proposition, thorofore, to transfer the
San CarloB agonoy to the War Do-
partmont, leaving its financial ad-De-will
ministration to tho Intorior
partment, is tho ono which
firobably bo adopted, tho transfer
a departnro from tho long established
peaoe policy.
General Crook says ho was not at liberty
to Break of the several interviews had with
the PreBldont and Secretaries, but hoped to
mako such progress as would onablo him to
leave Washington for tho West shortly. In
reply to tho quostion whothor he thought
his recommendations relative to what
should bo dons with the captured Apaches
would be adopted by the Government, he
replied :
"Well, I would rather not speak of that
question now. I will say, however, that no
conclusion has been arrived as yetbut I
am to have another intorview with the
Secrotary, when, perhaps, tho question will
be settled ono way or the other."
OUR CHINESE CITIZENS
Are There, or Can There Be, Any
In the United" States.
Tho Ktntits oQ tlio tJnlted States I.nvrn
nnd Decisions Matte Thereon.
New York, July 8. Some fifty or sixty
Chinomon in this city have laid claim to
be naturalized citizens of this oountry. In
view of tho right to vote involved, tho
olnim is important. Tho fact is, howover,
that sovoral Chineso citizens havo unsuccessfully
applied for naturalization to tho
Federal courts. Fivo years ngo the Circuit
Court of tho United States in tho District
of California refused to grant tho petition
of Ah Yup, a nativo of China of the Mongolian
race, for admission ns a citizen of
the United States. The Court on that
wns held by Judgo Sawyer, tho
Circuit Judge, who declared that the petition
stated all tho qualifications required
by tlio statute to entitlo tho applicant
to bo naturalized, provided the stat
uto authorized the naturalization a
a nativo of China of tho Moi
gollau race. After a careful consideration
of tho question, ho canio to the conclusion
that a person of tho Mongolian raw
is not a white person within tho meaning
of tho statute, nnd thut the existing provisions
of law exclude from naturalization
all but wliito persons nnd persons of African
nativity or African dosccnt.
According to Judgo Sawyer's view, the
words "whito persons" mcanporsons of Jhe
Caucasian race. Mongolians, on tho other
hand, aro usually classified ns yellow, and
sometimes 'ns tawny; and in nonoofthe
ordinary ethnological classifications arc
t he Mongolians described as whito. Judgo
Sawyer also shows, by roferenco to tho debates
of Congress ct tho time tho naturalization
laws woro extended so as to embrace
the negroes, that every Senator who took
part in tho discussion, including Mr. Sumner,
supposed that tho Chinese would be
excluded if tho word "whito" was allowed
to remain in the statute.
A decision at varianco with that in California
haa. beon mado in somo other district,
but Judgo Sawyer's opinion seems a
sound exposition of tho law on tho subject.
It Is possiblo, however, that somo
may have been lawfully naturalized
betweon tho time of tho enactment of tho
Revised Statutes of tho Unitod States and
tlio passage of the act to correct errors
therein, on Fobruary V.187" From-1802
the general law had been that any alien
being a free white person " might bo naturalized.
. In 1870 Congress extended the
naturalization laws "to aliens of African
nativity and persons of African desoent."
When all the statutes of tho United States,,
gonrrnl and permanent in their nnture,
which were In fprco on December 1, 1873,
came to be rovised and included in what
are now known as tnc ueviscu otaiuies oi
tho United States, the revisers omitted
the words' " white persons," and made
the law read, ' "An alien may
he admitted to bcoomo a citizen
of tho Un ted States in tho fol
lowing manner," So., without any limitation
as to the color or race of the alien. By
the amendments of lS7o, which wero expressly
intended to rectify mistakes in tlio
revision, tho naturalization laws wero restricted
to froo white persons and Africans.
Before theso amendments, however, the Revised
Statues in tonus seem to have war-rented
tho admission of any alien to citizenship,
provided ho possessed the other
qualifications required by law.
A VERITABLE PARADISE.
A Community oriltn Vhu Winkles in '
Ohio, Who Are n Law Unto Them
selves. I
Cleveland, July 8. About eighty miles
from this city and six milos south of Mineral
Point, the terminus of the Valloy
road, at the Wheeling junction of the
Wheeling & Lake Erio Railroad, thero ia, a
quaint little old village known as Zoar, inhabited
by a strange, frugal and industrious
people, the happiest, porhaps, in ths
world. They ' know no care, nothing
worries or troubles them ; a large number
of them never saw the outsido of thoir
beautiful homo, a voritabla paradise, and
troublo themselves little, if any, about the
turmoil and strifos of tho wicked world.
The colony was first founded In 1817 by
Huber and Ackermann two Germans, the
former a nativo of Wurtomburg and the
lattor hailing from Bavaria. Shortly afterward,
In tho Barao year, they and a few
followers from tho snrao country formed.a
community and named it Zoar, because
they lookod upon their homo as a placo of
rofugo from tho world, which thoy termed
Bodora and Gomorrah.
Tho.inhabitantB, who havo no dosiro to
amass wealth, work for one common end,
that is, for tlio good of the community,
which owns and controls the cntiro villago,
including thousands of acres of tho richest
land in tho Buokeyo Stato. The money
goes into ono common treasury. The necessaries
of lifo, including food, provisions
and garments aro furnished by tho village
officials, consisting of three tiustoes nnd a
committee of fivo, who are annually
by ballot. No person is permitted to
permanently resido in tho community un
less he become a membor by professing
ttetr faun. Any ono wisning to uo bo is
allowod to entor on probation. If, in the
course of one year, bis charaotor has been
found to bo pure and unimpeaohablo, h
can join the lower class of Zoarites, and
later on, should ho fool bo disposed, he may
booomo a member of tho first olass, giving
him all tho privileges of voting for otfioors,
The village contains about 200 inhabitants,
whioh number has beoa the tamo sinco
1817, and never incroa sos or decroases to
anynqtlceable oxtent. Young mor tompt
.xt , L
eiTby Us gaycly, frequently leave the tow,
for the city and never return; but a crroat
p'roportlon llvo nnd die there, and tholittji
cemetory marks tho graves of many of the
first fnmllles, who havo nevor loft tho town
afior tholr ontranco.
Somo of the descendants of the original
founders are all still residents there ; in
fact, 'all but throo wore born and bred
there, but thoy all descend from natives of
Wurtemburg, Bavaria and Baden. Simon
Bouter, tho gardnor of tho town, one of the
living three who emigratod to tho village,
came there in 1840. He has charge of the
most beautiful gtrlen imaginable Ho
raises not only vegetables and flowers of
Northorn origin, but makes a specialty of
growing tropical plants of the rarest sorts,
including a comploto varlotyof tho cactus,
all grades of tho night-blooming cerous,
magnolias, lomon and ornngo trees, bearing
on tho avorago 800 lemons and oranges
upon overy trco. Ho is a complete mnstcr
of his art, and has tho botanical names of
all tho flowers at his tonguo's name.
They profess to bo as happy and contented
as tho wealthiest people In tho
world; thoy want for nothing; thoro is no
jealousy among their mombors, nnd they
always abide by tho decision of tho committee.
Their houses aro not alike; some
have a poorer appoaranco than others, but
thoy are all satisfied, porform thoir labor
according to their ability, and when Sunday
comes havo one day of rest.
They bellevo in tho Old and Now Testaments,
attend services on Sunday morning
and ovonlug. havo no ministor, but
one of tho older members is chosen to
read a ohapter from tbo Bible, mako a few
comments porhaps, and that is all. They
marry and aro given in marriage with the
least possible ceromony, and tholr children
are cducatod in two good sohools, where
both German and English aro taught.
WHISKY EXPORTATION.
Tho Gronnds or the Attorney General's
Opinion nnd How It AlFccts Distillers.
Wasuinqton, July 8. Tho law
tho oxport of Whisky as interpreted by
Solicitor Gcnoral Phillips, whoso opinion is
Indorsed by Attorney-General Browstor, is
regarded by dealers as deoldcdly disadvantageous
to their Interests.
By tho act of May 28, 1880, distilled
spirits may romain in warehouse for three
years from entry without paymout of tho
intornnl revenue tax. At the expiration of
that period tho tax must be paid. Dealers
who do not want to thrown their whisky an
tho market are naturally averse to paying
the tax on it whilo in store. In order to
S3capo this, tux they concoivod the plan of
exporting and then reimporting their
goods. By soction 3.380 of tho Rovised
Statutes distilled spirits may bo withdrawn
, from . J
for export without payment of
tho tax. By sections 2,600 spirits of domestic
production may.be rcimportcd by
payment of a duty eqnalto tho iuternal
revenue tax, and by another section thoy
may no Kept in uonu lor ono yenr ami mc
duties pnid nt" the time of withdrawal, or
throe years by payment of tho duties increased
ten per cent.
The scheme of tlio dealers wns to withdraw
their spirits from the warehouso before
the tax became due, ship it to
whoro it could be stored to advantage
and where tho climate is remarkably
favorable to the aging of spirits, and re-ship
it to this country when they wero
ready to sell. By this" course they would
not escape payment of tho interim! revenue
tax, because thoy would have to pay It on
reimporting tho whisky or withdrawing it
from the bonded warehouso after its
But they would postpone the
time of paying tho tax until they were
ready to put tho whisky on tlio market.
Tho opinion of the Attorney General
s this sohemo. Ho holds that shipment
out of the country with tho intention and
for the oxpross purpose of shlppin'g baok
again is not an exportation within the
moaning of tho law, ann honco does not
exempt tho spirits from the rovenuo tax
due and payable at the expiration of three
years from the time of deposit In the warehouse.
This decision applies, however, only to
cases where the dealer ships oilt of the
country with the intention of shipping back
again. It does not apply to a bona fide
export or to a reimport of what was exported
in good faith. For oxample, a man
may ship whisky to a foreign country with
tbo intention of soiling it there. He may
afterward find tho home hotter than the
foreign market, change his mind and bring
his goods baok. This would be a bona fide
export and roimport. Whothor a shipment
is sunh an oxport or not deponds on the intention
of the shipper, and tho question of
Intention k to bo determined by proof.

Teheran, July 8. Tho reports ns to tho
serious illness of the Shah aro so far from
bolng true that he had been on a hunting
expedition in tho mountains of Djadjorub,
and that on his return to Teheran he mado
preparations for his doparturo upon a pilgrimage
to Meshod. This journoy will extend
over four months, as Meshed is forty-five
days' march from Tohoran, and tho
Shah has taken with him all his household
and 18,000 soldiers. Three thousand
mules and caraols wero required for tho
transport of the luggago alone.
Tho Shah has formally sanctlonod the project
of prolonging tho line of railway already
opened to the Persian Gulf, and this
lino will oxtend In an oaitcrly direction to
the Russinn railways recently opened in
; tJie CancasnB. It will have its westorn
terminus at Enzell, a port on tho Caspian
Sea, and, passing througn tno ispanan
nd Tohoran, will havo its eastern terminus
upon the Peraian Gulf, oonneoting tho
two soas by a line 1,125 miles in length.
Thero is no danger of the ordor of succession
being modinod even if the Shah were
to die. He says that the Torsions aro very
much attached to tho present dynasty, and
the Shah's eldost eon haa no need to four
any competition.
