The modern Lu jretla Borgia, Sarah Jane Robinson, of Somer Tille, is destined to die on tba scaffold next Friday unlets the petition for tba commutation of the death sentence to imprisonment for lite shall be granted.

Ia behalf of the condemned woman treat indaecce has been brought to bear txson the GoTtmor and Cornell by those who are op posed to capital punishment, and certainly to the barging of a woman. Mrs. Robioson was sentenced to be banged after a vrdiet fastening upon her the death, .by poison, of Prince Arthur Freeman, her brother-in-law, on Jane 27, 1S34. She had al ready been tried for the murder, by arsenical poisoning, of ter son Willie, but the jury dis agreed, being unable to find a verdict for lack of evidence.

The motive in the latter cases at leaat was the collection of the iotoranee on the lives of the debased. The peculiar thins about the story was that there was no evidence show ing Mrs. Robinson ever possessed any ar sonic or that she ever understood it use or effect.

THE ANARCHIST ANNIVERSARY. A' Spiritless ACairat Waldhfim Cemeterj Parsons' Letter to Ilis Children. Chicago, Nov. 11. The first anniversary of the hanging of the Anarchists was observed to day by the Chicago sympathizers, but not within the limits of the city. Police regulations prevented any procession or fiying of red bunt in?, and there was no outbreak of any kind. About five thousand people men, women and children gathered individually at the depot, and two big trains carried them to Waldheitn Cemetery. On the way to the cemetery the crowd resembled asythinc rather than people bent on a melancholy errand! Joking and chads ewss the order of the day all the way out None cf the persons who gained notoriety through connection with the Anarchist trial wre present, except Spies'a sister Gretchen nod the daughters of George KngsL 3Iud in the country was as effectual as the police ia the city in operating sgaiust any procession from the cars to the graves, and the chilly winds sweeping across the bleak prairie encircling Waldbeim Cemetery added to the general discomfort. One thine, however, was an unqualified success the floral tributes were of the most elaborate character, and in cluded contributions from thirteen different Turner societies. Amonc the flowers blood-red ribbons were conspicuous, and' the inscriptions accompanying them were such as: ''For Free dom and Right;" "To the Pioneers of Truth and Justice," and To the Martyrs, Onr Thanks. The . first speech was by Robert Retzel, of Detroit. Compared with the rantings heard a year ago on the same spot, bis remarks were tame. In fact, there was not a single incendiary phrase in his entire speech. He dropped into poetry rjuito frequently. He held that a year ago on the graves of the Anarchists the mourn ers were at once plaintiffs aod judges. It was not quite apparent to him how long the workin? people would be permitted to bury their dead without the capitalistic power bring ing? bayonets aod bloodshed among "the graves. In this manner the speaker held forth for the better part of balf an boar. Children from the Socialist Sunday-schools of the eity sane, in childish mechanical fashion, a hymn in praise of the 4'3Iartyra When the sound . of the chil dren's voices had ceased, the chairman. George Schilling, proceeded to that wbioh was to be the center of attraction and attention, a letter from Albert R. Parsons to his children, addressed to them with a request that it should not be opened or read until the first anniversary of bis execu tion, Perfect quiet came ever the assembly as the letter was read, as follows: 'Dc.vaiox No. 7, Cook County Jail, 1 Chicago, Nor. -t, 187. j "My Dsrlinc, Precious Little Children. Albert R. Parsons, jr., and his Sister Lulu Ida Par sonsAs 1 write this word, I blot your names with a tear. We never meet again. Oh, mv chil dren, how deeply, dearly your father loves you! We show our love by lit mg for our loved ones. We also prove our love by dying, when neces sary, for tbem. Of my life and the cause of my unnatural and eruel death you will learn from others. Your father is a self-offered sacrifice on the slur of liberty end happiness. To you I leave the legacy of an honest name aod doty well dono.

Yoor mother O she is the grandest, noblest of women love, honor and obey her. My children, my precious ones, I request yon to read this parting message on each recurring anniversary of my death, in remembrance of him who dies not alone for yon, but forthe chil dren yet unborn. Bless you, my darlings. Fare well! Your father, "Albert R. Parsons. The letter was something of a dissppolntment to the listeners. There was no approach to any of the usual catch-wcrds of the revolutionists. It was too plain and father-like. Hence, the effect was not notabls. It was simply one of aadne s that spread over the assembly, to be soon dispelled, however, by the opening words of the speech which followed. The speaker, William Holm, an old friend of Parsons, struck a chord that had not vibrated for a locg time. "Friends and comrades," be began, with an animation that sounded like old times on the lake front, when the group were out in force aod the harangues were all cf the "coming revolution.'' The effeet on the crowd was in stantaneous. They all pricked up their ears and listened eagerly, bat they were again doomed to disappointment The speaker was moderate in his remarks until the peroration was reached. Something more was evidently necessary to round cut the speech with, and after comparing "the movement for the emsnci- Eation of labor" to all sorts of shining objects, e wound up by saying that it would "flame like the fire in the barricades of the city streets. The expression caught the audience. Half of them did cot understand a line of the speech, or the meaning cf the last sentence, bat the suggestion of force in the words "barricade' and "fire" aroused a burst of applause. The speaker urgsd all present to pat their shoulders to the wheel and help accomplish the work for which the fire martyrs" had died. Jostph Labadie, a Michigan Anarchist.who was to driver the principal speech of the day, failed to pus In an appearance. There was much talk of war, and soldiers, acd glory in the latt speech, which was delivered by Paul Grottkau, an editor of several German socialist papers. His principal theme- was the "imallocss or the working classes that had allowed the Aoarehists to bo "xnnrdered." The "hypocrisy and tyranny of the roling classes1' was oca oi bis favorite terms. The nroper way to honor the dead men, be said, was to lead to a successful issue the movement which they had died for. A chorus of three hundred male voleea eon eluded the programme in a dirge-like song that ferrned ft fitting, conclusion to ths ceremonies. THEPOLITICSOFTHE FUTURE A Feature of the Election Which Is Be ing Discussed in tlio South. The Coming Reapportionment of Congress men, and the Way It Is Likely to Affect the South, the West and the Northwest. Premature Gossip Concerning President' Elect Harrison and His Cabinet lion. Edward 3IcPherson Outlines Some of the Merc Prominent Issues with Which the Coming Administration Will Deal. THE SOUTH AND TOE ELECTION. The Next Reapportionment and How It Will Affsct the South and the Northwest, fpecial tu the IndUanaoolls Journal Washington, Nor. 11. There Is one feature of the victory at the polls last week which does not seem to have fully dawned yet upon the minds of the actors, but which is being discussed with a great deal of concern by some of the Democrats of the South. That is, that the con trol of the two houses of Congress will give the Republican party the control also of the appor tionment under the eleventh census. The eleventh census will be taken in June, 1890, and the respportionment of Congressional represen tation will follow daring the session of Congress succeeding. Ths suppression of tht colored vote in the South will certainly lead to a cur tailment of the comber of Representatives in that section acd a corresponding increase in the representation of some of the Western States, notably Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota, wbioh aro naturally Republican. This, together with the admission of four new States, with at least twelve electoral votes, in 1S92, will change the status of the next campaign to a con siderable degree and will be likely to have a marked effect in maintaining the ascendency of the Republican dynasty. Southern men pro fess to believe that their section will lose at least ten electoral votes in the new apportion ment, which will, they naturally infer, oe added to the strength of the Republican States of the Northwest. If this is done, and the new States admitted prove to be Republican in sentiment, there is reason to believe that the solicitude of the Southern Democrats is well founded, and the some, at least, of the elements of un certainty will be removed from the next grand contest Republican success this year alto means that the control of ths United States Supreme Court is no longer iu danger of passing out of the hands of the Republican party. President Har rison will, in all probability, have the appoint ment of four, and possibly five, associate justices doring his term, and that will insure the control of the highest court in the country for a genera tion, unless th mortality among the members of the court is much higher than it has ever been before. On the whole, therefore, the Re publican party bas inereasiog causes to con gratulate Itself, as the significance of last Tues day's victory becomes apparent THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. Edward Mcl'herson Indicates Some of the Issues with Which It Will Deal. Washlncton special to .New York Tribune, Probably General Harrison will have more or less to say about the composition of his Cabinet, and as he has cot yet had any time to give to that matter, the gossip and speculation which assign this or that prominent and de serving Republican leader to that or the othar Cabinet portfolio may be a trifle premature; the Preaident-elect will have nearly four months in which to canvass the field, listen to suggestions and advice more or less disinterested, and care fully weigh the merits and qualifications of the party leaders. General Harrison's friends know that be is a man of great firmness and decision of character, although he lacks that sort of obstinacy which springs from ignorance of pub lic men and events, and during the campaign he has shown remarkable self-poise and surprising keenness of vision in a political sense. It is fair to assume, therefore, that he will have a great deal to say about the composition of bis Cabinet, acd whea ho has performed his duty in that regard it is probable that a large number of active amateur and volunteer Cabinet-makers will be disappointed. There is no reA3on to expsct that he will come into office bearing a policy" to be enforced upon .Con gre es in opposition to the views of bis party, as some of the friends of ths retiring adminis tration already seem to hope, if cot to expect Speaking of some of the salient public ques tions which will invite the attention of the in coming President and Congress, that venerable and acute political observer, Edward 3IcPh ar son, to-day said: 'Well, 1 assume that the Ropubiicau party, through its executive and it3 majority in Con gress, will redeem its pledges in the future as it has In the past The party stands committed to a revision of the revenue laws and a reductlon'of taxation. That was the main issue upon which the battle was fought, and our great victory won." , "Do you look for a revision of the customs and Internal revenue laws at the coming session of ConeressP "That will dpen4, of course, upon whether President Cleveland and the Democratic majori ty in the Hoose accept tba verdict of the Amer ican people as recorded on Tuesday. I observe a tendency among the Democratic leaders to de clare in favor of calling their colors to the mast nod continuing to fight for free-trade tariff re form, and it is intimated that in his forthcom ing annual message President Cleveland will adhere to the propositions he laid down last December and upon which be and bis party have been defeated at the ballot-box. If that be the attitude of the President acd the House, of course, the oountry will be compelled to wait until the obstructionists surrender the power which they have attempted to ase to the detri ment of the American people. If Mr. Cleveland is as honest and brave as his partisans de clare him to be he wil not retreat, If Carlisle, Mills, Scott and their adherents are as sincere as they profess to be they will maintain their hostility to the American system cf protection to the last day, or at least until they land in the last ditch. You remember that the Southern leaders io both Houses warned the Republicans and the friends of protection to American in dustries generally that, unless the should ac cept the compromise the 'moderate scheme of retorm embodied in the so-called Mills bill they would be compelled to swallow the bitterer doie. Of course, that threat of the late solid South sounds bombastic and silly cow, and I shall wait with cousiderable curiosity to see whether it will be repeated after Congress re assembles in December." "Do you think the Senate will pass the sub stitute for the Uunse bill?" Yes; that is my impression. Of course, it will be likely to undergo some modification. Some rates of dnty may be increased and some diminished, as new facts or more thorough in formation shall indicate the wisdom of changes. The people have decided that any revision of the tariff must be on protective lines, and that the richest market in the wotld shall cot become the prey of foreigners, whose sole advantage ovsr our own people is gained by the oppression of labor of every description, skilled and unskilled. The people have decided, also, that no revision of the tariff on sectional lines would be wise or just The Northern and Western farmer and artisan are eotitied to equal consideration with Southern cotton or suear-plaoters or the South ern net-growers. The Seoata substitute, I believe, fairly embodies the ideas of tariff and internal revenue legislation whteh are approved by a vait majority of the American people at the present time. Bat as I said bsfore, if the President and the ma jority in the house which did his blading at the last session adhere to their former attitude, we all be compelled to wail until the Republicans titans control. HiUy0 the country, tad President and Congress will then be in hearty acecrd and American interests will be sale in their hands. w Do you think it probable that President Har rison will call a special session of tba Fifty-first Congress in case no revenue legislation is enacted next winterP "No one can foretell what emergency might arise to make a special session necessary, but it is certain to at none will be called unless abso lutely necessary. The question of the surplus does cot seem to be so pressing now as it appeared to be to President Cleve land when he sent that 'scaro message to Con gress eleven months ago. The administration seems to have made way with the bulk of the surplus by means of liberal, cot to say ex travagant, expenditures and by. placing a big percentage of it on deposit, so that it could cot be suddeoly withdrawn without producme a disastrous monetary disturbance. The new ad ministration will not be likely to ignore the fact that the surplus revenues can be profitably used to reduce the interest-bearing debt, or the other f act that within lees than three years more than $200,000,000 of the interest-bearing debt will be due acd payable at par. There will be co crgect reason so far as financial legislation is con cerned why Congress should assemble before December, 18S9. "It is true, however, that speedy measures should be taken to remedy defects lr the tariff law which operate to the serious detriment of certain domestio industries, sueb, f oi example, as woolen and silk manufactures. Something easy be done by a revisalof several treasury de cisions of the present free-trade administration, but a fall measure of relief will require legis lative interposition. If the present House were both wis and patriotic, that relief might b found in a short specific measure, leaving the broader questions of revision aod readjustment to be dealt with hereafter. Such a measure, I believe, President Cleveland would not dare to veto. But I coLfess that I have no hope that the free-traders who rule the House will conseot to act with wisdom or patriotism in that behalf. They are too badly disappointed aod angry un der the stinging rebuke which, they have re ceived.11 "Wbr.t other public measures besides revenue legislation will be likely to take a prominent place in the first half of President Harrison's terml "Oh, there aro soveral. One is the admission into the Union of Territories which have been kept out by the Democrats for partisan reasons. That party's treatment of the people of Dakota and Washington, bas been outrageous. Dakota will make two States, either one of which will at once rank in population, wealth and intelli gence with some of the older States, and be ia advance cf at least one State which is cow rep ree entfd io the wars and means committee of the House of Representatives. Two years ago Dakota cast 09,061 votes to elect a Delegate in Con cress, who is cot allowed a vote in that body. Ia Arksnsa. which a has five votes in the House of Representatives and one vote in the ways and means eommittee, only 44,514 votes were cast for Congressmen. In Georgia, which has ten votes in the House and one in the ways acd means committee, only 27,43j votes were cast for Congressmen. In the thirty-three countieb which compose what is styled North Dakota, 2(1,000 votes were cast, 8.500 more than in Georgia, and only 8,000 less than in Arkansas, while in the fortf-eevsn counties composing South Dakota the total vote was 63,040. nearly 20.0C0 more than io Arkansas, and 35,000 more than In Georgia. In Washing ton Territory th total vote exceeded 47,000. As chairman cf the eommittee on Territories of the Senate General Harrison became thoroughly informed in regard ti the merits of the claims of Washington and Dakota for admission into the Union, and I thick it very probable that among the most earnest recommendations in his first message to Congresa will be one in their behalf." "Do you thick it probable that be will recom mend the granting of aid from the national treasury toward the eurport of common schools, especially in the Souths "Well, J have no donbt that be would approve a bill for that purpose if It should bt sent to him by Congress. Whether he will recommend it in his message is another matter. While & Senator, he favored the measure, and I do not belisve his views on that subject have under gone any change. I sincerely hope it will be made an administration measure, both as an act of justice and necessity. ' The colored men of the Sou'h have been enfranchised, and I be lieve that it is a duty which the Nation owes itself as , well as to them to aid in educating thera r;ht they may make an intelligent use of tre irancOee." 'Of eourse," continued Mr. McPherson, "there are many other important questions te be con sidered. The Republican party will redeem its pledges in behalf of the disabled and needy vet erans of the Union; measures will be taken to revive our merchant marine; onr postal service, foreign and domestic, will be placed on a better footing, and mote intelligent and discriminat ing economy will be exercised in appropriations and expenditures of the public money. The?" and other measures like the direct-tax bill wili require legislative enactment The next Presi dent is a man who will take eare that the laws are faithfully executed. If the conduct of the Pcminion government c?xt year, for example, siould be such as to require it. President Har r son would not fail or refuse to use the ample pjwere conferred upon the executive to punish o prevent outrages upon Amerieaa fishermen. He will cot abuse the veto power. I would not expect him to veto a bill solely because he would vote against it if be were in Congress, or because a chief of a Inreau or division or a clerk advised bim to do so. I would cot expect him to approve a $21000.000 river and harbor bill on one day and folow it nextday with a balf dozen vetoes of 92 anc 4 pension bills for the benefit of disabled Union veterans. 1 do not expect that be will write long, cashing letters full of professions of devition to the causa of civil-service reform, or issue warning orders to office-holders against 'pernicious activity' in politics, unless he mesne to enforce them in a word, I know that Gen. Harmon is a firm friend of honest civil-service reform and not a political hypocrite. I have co doubt that he possesses the firmness and roar age to correct administration abuses which have sprung up acrl flourished unchecked during the past three years in almost every branch of the public service. There will be co Pan electric scandals under his administration, acd he will not fill vacancies in the public service with recruits from the criminal classes." rOLITICAI. NOTES. Thf National Republican Loagne Secures a h'liLg ivitli History. Washington, Nov. 1L Scmo days ago the National Republican League was presented with a flag with an interesting history. Nearly half a eentury ago, when Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison was the candidate of the Whig party, the party's emblem was the stare and stripes, in the center of which General Harrison's portrait was limned. This year, when the old General's grandson was the candidate, the prevailing Repnbliean emblem was the stars and stripes, as forty-eight years ago. The Lesgue's present was one of these old emblems, about two feet square, tattered and worn, but still bearing Gen. Wm. Henry Harri son's portrait, and the old banner cow adorns their parlors, the emblem of a second victory. The emblem wa presented Jy a granddaughter of Wm. Gideon, William Henry Harrison's most intimate friend. It was accompanied by a note dated a week or so before election day, in which she expressed ber hopes that the banter might presage a second victory as memorable as the first . The Private Secretaryship. Washington, Nov. 11. There is a grsat deal of speculation in Washington as to who will be the successor of Col. Lainont. As the private secretary is the medium through which the ex ecutive is reached, there is naturally curiosity as to whom the public will bavl to apply on ex ecutive business after the 4th of March next It bas been stated that ex-Fifth Auditor Alexan der, who is an intimate friend of General Harri son, will be the appointee. This announcement is at best premature, and Col. Alexander, since it was made, has been quoted as saving that he does not exDoct or want the p'aee. From the besi information obtainable in Washington at this time it appears that the gentleman most likely to be selected for the crivate secretaryship is Mr. Perry S. Heath, the special correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, who Is also a warm personal friend of General Harrison. The r.ame of Iioiseli B. Harrison, son of the President elect, has been mentioned, bat there are believed to be reasons why the General would prefer not to have bis eon fill the position. Aside from his friendship for the General, and years of serviee to the party, Mr. Heath is peculiarly fitted for the position. Three Persons Horned to Death. Utica, N. y., Nov. 11. Frederick Knorreck, his wife aod elsreo-y ear-old daughter Anna, per ished in their turnicg dwelling at Vernon Cen ter. at 1 a. M. to-day.

The Leader of the Conservatives Sahjected to Outrage and Violence. Madrid, Nov. 1L In,anticipation of the ar rival of Senor Canovas del Castillo from Seville, & strong force of police and military was posted, this moroiog, along the streets through which the Conservative leader was expected to pass on his way from the railway station to his resi dence. Thousands of Republicans collected at the station at an early hour,' and the arrival of Senor Canovas was the signal for a hostile out burst. The mob surrounded and followed his carriage, booting and thro wins; stones. The windows of the carnage were smashed by the flying missiles. Senora Canovas, who accom panied her husband, was strode by a stone, but was not seriously Injured. When the carriage reached the Prado, gen-datmes surrounded it in order to protect the occupants from violence. Similar scenes of dis order occurred outside of the residence of Senor Canovas. In order to escape from the mob he drove to the house of his brother-in-law, the Marquis of Sotomayor. The crowd continued the demonstration in front of the Conservative Club acd the offices of the Conservative jour nals. At the Epoca building the mob again became violent, and every window in the place was smashed. The agitation abated at midday, bnt there was a renewal of the demonstration at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the Conservative Club was obliged to dose its doers. A Repub lican journal, the Pais, appeared this evening with a manifesto from the Republican students, in which they expressed sympathy with the ac tion of their comrades at Seville and elsewhere. The Epoca, in the meantime, bad published an "extra" headed "In Open Revolution la which the scenes of the morning were described. Among the incidents related wss one taat oe currod at the residence of the Marquis of Casimeranda. A noisy crowd bad gathered in front of the house, and the Marquis finally came out on the balcony, and, boldly confront ing the men, asked them what it was they wanted. In reply the; shouted, "Death to Con servatives. w The Marquis invited the leader of the crowd to come inside, but the invitation was cot accepted. The uproar continued until 10 v o'clock, when the' crowds gradually dispersed. Daring the excitement copies of the different Conservative journals were buroed in public squares. TIIK YFHITECnATi:!. MUKDE15. It Still Absorbs Atteution and Causes a Re vival of Theories. . London, Nov. 11. The latest Whitechspel murder is still the leading topio cf discussion, and all the old theories as to the identity of the murderer are revived. The face of the woman Kelly, when ber body was found, resembled a bloody bait The cose, ears and checks were missing, bat the eyes had cot been touched. Surgeons stitched the face together as best they could, but it was found impossible to identify the woman from such of her features as were intact or were drawn together. This murder makes the ninth of the series committed, evidently by the same pereon, who has thus far eluded the police of London, The first victim was found in the Whitechspel dis trict, a section of London infested by the vilest class of the population of that great city, in Oc tober, 1887. Her body was fearfully mutilated, bat the crime caused no unusual excitement, it being supposed it was simply a morder, com mon in that section. The bloodthirsty fiend disappeared for nearly a year before a second victim, found in the same district Aug. 7, gave evidence that he was still at large, and deter mined on carrying ont his vendetta egainst fallen women. This victim was Martha Turner, another dissolute woman, whose fearfully mu tilated body was found in Commercial street, Spitalfields. The similarity of the murder to the one preceding it created some interest, and led the po lice to believe that some surgeon seek ing anatomical specimens had committed both crimes. The excitement consequent on the crimes died away until Aug. 31, when the body cf Mary Ann Nichols, mutilated in a manner similar to the other two, was found. Eight days later the fourth victim, Annie Chapman, was found at 29 Hanbuiy street, hacked and dismembered. On the wall near where the body was found was written in chalk: "Fifteen be fore I surrender." The next victim was found at Gateshead, near Newcastle-on-Tvoe, some distance from the scene of the others. The mutilation in this instance was like that of the other victims, aod the circumstances surround ing the crime led to the belief that she was a victim of the same fiend who had murdered the other women. On the same night the body of atill soother woman was fonnd in Mitre square. The eighth body was found Oct. 1 in the founda tion of the projected Metropolitan Opera-house on the Thames Embankment. 6IIAIX WK ABANDON SAMOA? Bismarck Is Carrying; Things There with a align Hand for Germany. New York Suu. There it a hsao of trouble down in the beau tiful Samoan islands just cow, ko Mr. Harold Sewall, our consul to Samoa, says. "The half of the Impositions on Americans and the poor natives by the German government has cot been told," be said to a Sun reporter at the Murray Hill Hotel yesterday. "I hare been there about a year and a balf," be con tinued, "acd I must say that our position is at present, and has been for months past, most humiliating. "When the matter was presented in Concrete last year Secretary Bayard took a stroog stand for the true American position a national gov ernment, which should be independent, and have the recognition of the three treaty powers, and the undemanding that we should not per mit the control of aoy one power. Nothing defi cits wss accomplished by our government at that time, aod so the Germans stepped in and did just what Mr. Bayard wss aiming at for us. It was upon the understanding with the natives that no disposal was to be made of the islands that the conference was hold. Since the Evarts treaty in 1872 the natives, who are manly and intelligent, have always respected and looked cp to the United States government as the best in the world, and because of their allegiance to us the Germans persecuted and even tortured them shamefully when they secured a foothold. They have thrown people into prison for simply being in my employ, or for speaking well of the Americans. "I left Samoa In August, on leave of absence, to come here and interest the government in be half of the people there. The King. Tameseie, bad been deposed, acd Mataafa was thtn in power. The Germans bad installed a clerk as a sort of premier to represent tbem and their in terests, consisting chiefly of a mammoth trading store kept by a firm with a long name, and a good deal of land acqnired in trading operations. They nave had Mr. Wilson, the English consul, removed because be co-operated with me, and when I came away they said tbsy bsd driven m off the island: bat they'll find they've sot done anything of the kind, for I mean to see those natives righted. I shouldn't wonder If the Germans sent their five men-of-war there again and attempted to fore the natives iaU submission. If they do there will be bloodshed. The population now is 33, 000. 'What remedy do you suggest to bring about a satisfactory resnltr 'Simply the assertion by the United States of its righti.

Thoe islands are the most valrable, beataifnl sod healthful in the Pacific, not even excepting the Sandwich Islands, and Germany ts mora felly awake to the fact than we are. Cotton, coffee and dried coeoannt are exported in large quan tities to New York, Hamburg, Liverpool, Mar seilles, Australia and New Zealand. Now that the election is over, I am going to Washington at onee to lay the subject before the proper authorities, and I hope to succeed iu accom plishing something, for I take a personal inter est in the matter. THE STRIFE IM SEItYIA. A General War the Probable Result Atti tude of the Great Towers. Tienna Cable Special to New York World. Pessimist statesmen here are saying that Ser bia bas again become a disturbing factor in Eu ropean politics and threatens to upset the calcu lations of central European diplomates respect ing the maintenance of peace in the Balkans, at least until the coming spring. The differences between King Milan and Queen Natalie of Ser via have sharply divided parties in that little state, and the adherents of the Queen, who are undoubtedly in the majority outside the official classes, are meditating a coup d'etat which has for its object the dethronement of King Milan and the placing of his son on the throno. with bis mother as a member of the regency during his minority. That the situation in Servia is becoming alarming is evident from the fact that Rossis has notified Austria that if the latter should throw a force into Servia to aid King Milan in quelling any insurrection that may occur, Rus sia will at once occupy Bulgaria. Those European politicians who had watched the course of events in Srvia during the past several years expected that Queen Natalie would not sit calmly under the treatment ebe received from the King. They cow believe that the Queen can make disclosures which would cot only lead to civil war in Servia, bat also embroil Austria and Russia in a strife which would probably lead to a general European war, as Germany and Italy could hardly stand by and see their ally engaged in a hopeless encounter with Russia, co matter how damaging the dis closures against Austria. Sympathy for Queen Natalie continues to spread, cot only in Servia. but throughout the other Balkan states and in Russia, and even in Austria where the Slavs warmly espouse her cause. There can be co doubt at all that King Milan put himself helplessly and scandalously in the wrong by seeking the divorce in ths manner he did. Evfcn Henry VIII submitted to the form of a trial before ridding himself cf a super fluous wife, aod the first Napoleon, who was cot careful about appearance, at least went , through the formality of having hie divorce) from Empress Josephine pronounced by the Senate. King Milan rushed to his end with a brutal cynicism, and contented himself with in ducing or compelling his servile metropolitans to pronounce the divorce. The whole business savored of a mean kind of xnedusval despotism, and was a flat insult to the other bith'pa and functionaries at whose bands the King's suit was awaiting judgment in the ordinary course. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Ilovr the Wnrtomburg Troubles Were Set tied The Monarch to Abdicate. Stuttgart. Nov. 13. There is reason to be lieve on the best authority here that Mittnaeht has sot told the exact truth about the circum stances under which he is to take up the port folio again. Bismarck's pressure was necessary to make him do it. King Charles's affection for bis American favorites proved greater than that for the people, and it besios to look as though Baron Woodcock bad partially won the lay. The following is the basis on whieh Mittnseht consented to withdraw his resignation. That on the twenty-fifth anniver r sary of the King's ascension to the thrc-oe, next ' April, be niJl abdicate in ?aoref Ins nephew, Prince Wilhelm, and until that date his Amer ican favorites must ootnter Wnrtemberg terri tory.

Having thus far gained their point, the good people of Stuttgart are settling dowu to the even tenor of their quiet life, from whieh the recent eourt scandal roused them. Exciting Scene in a Menagerie. London Standard. An exciting scene occurred, yesterday, at Bone, in Algeria, at the aquarium a sort of itinerant menagerie. The special feature of this aquarium consisted of a collection of co less than seventy crocodiles, whieh were fed publicly at stated hours by the mansgsr, M. Pcrnolet. He always wore a pair of Wellington boots, and bad a stick with which to beat off the reptiles when they became too ravenous and at temgted to snap the food out of bis bands. On this occasion he was sitting on the back of the largest crocodile, and kept feeding the rest for about ten minutes, when all at once, aa he turned his head and put out his hand to the at tendant for a piece of meat, one of the others crawled up to bim and bit him :n the stomach. A shont was raised by the spectators, aod those around the tank tried to beat away the croco dile, who, notwithstanding M. Pernolet's blows, began whirling round his prey as if to tear him ' to pieces. Unfortunately tn struggling ZL Per colet slipped and fell in the very midst of the reptiles, which all rushed cn him with fury. A panio took place among the apectators, wbe mostly fled. Nevertheless. JL Peruoletwas res cued. Although his wounds are serious, his life is not thought to he in danger. King; Mllau'a Future. Yienna Diipatch to London Times. The opinion among diplomatists and poli ticians appears to be that King Milan's future cow depends on the use which he mskes of his present opportunities. During the last twa years he bas been nervously irritable, and often so despoodent that his sudden abdication bas been feared. . Allowances are made for this by those who know bow terribly teased he was by his wife, for It is only party prejudice that can affect to believe thlit all the wrongs In the matrimonial quarrels were on his side. King Milan is naturally an eaiy-tempered man, and be is too clsver to have engaged in an open quarrei with the Queen without provocation passing endur ance. But cow that the chief cause of his troubles has been removed acd that a new era is opening in his reign, people wili watch anx iously for a display of the good qualities whiea his friends assert bim to possess. In Austria Hungary especially, where there exists a gen eral belief in his shrewdness, and where the loy alty of his policy toward this empire is appreci ated, it will be hoped that he msy so bear him self in future as to dimmish the cumber of his eoemies and to give the remnant of them lest justification in their endeavors to disturb Servia. All Very Bad for President Carnot. Paris Dispatch London Daily Tvlsgraph. Like Leon Gambetta, President Carnot, as cording to an Imperialist paper, has the evil eye. M. Caroot possesses, says this authority, the fatal implacable head, the fixed, glaisy, and lugubrious stare of a jettatore. The President mnst, it seems, be endowed with these uncanny attributes, because when be went to Savoy the rivers overflowed their banks, at Cherbourg sailors were drowsed doring bis visit, at Foo tainebleau, where he was lately staying, confla grations broke cut all over the place, and quite lately two men died of aporlectic strokes, jcit outside th Elrsee Palace, where he lives. This tremendous discovery on the' part of the Ita perahst orrsn is as good as the wonderful horo seopo of George Eruest Boalangr, whieh was sold some mouths sgo tn many of the kiosks. t The Future of lloiue Rule.
