MISTRUST AND UNEASINESS.
LONDON, March 2.A Constantinople special
says Great mistrust and uneasiness is. felt
respecting the Russian designs on the Bos
phorus. They can occupy the Chanak forts at
a moment's notice. Movements, the objects of
which are not apparent, are still progressing.
The position of the British ships at Tuzlo is re
garded as critical, owing to the short run for
torpedo boats fiom Tehek Medge or San Ste
fano. It is strongly suspected that the Thorn
croft torpedo boat and Whitehead torpedoes are
being dispatched to the Sea of Marmora in
sections. The Iluhsians occupy Charkoi,
Radofate, Eighsts, Silivri and Tehekmedje, all
of which aro admirably suited as a basis for
torpedo operations, Bhould it be decided to
menace our fleet. Precautions are taken night
ly to guard the vessels against a surprise.
OCCUPATION OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
VIENNA, March 2.The Political Correspond
ence publishes a Constantinople difepatch which
says reliable intelligence from various quarters
agree in the statement that the entry of a por
tion of the Russian army into Constantinople
may be shortlj expected irrespective of the
signature or delay in the signature of peace.
The same paper has a semi-official communica
tion from St. Petersburg taking exception to
Count Andrassy's demand for 6,000,000 florins.
It says, though not intended for armaments, it
is directed against Russia. This credit places
Austria outwardly on the same footing as
England. Russia has certainly no objection to
Austria,s occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Austria objects to compete autonomyof thewhole
of Bulgaria formed into a single province and
its two year occupation by Russia. The latter
combats a portion of Bulgaria into two pro
vinces, instancing the fruitlessness of stipula
tions separating Moldavia and Wallachia. A
temporary Russian occupation imperative
for the maintenance of tranquility and pre
vention of exercises by Bulgarians, but the
measures of control and supervision may be
taken to prevent the occupation assuring the
character of conquest or an assimulation thereto.
MILITARY AND NAVAL.
LONDON, March 2.Lieut. Gen. MacDougall,
chief of the intelligence department of the war
office, will in May take command of the forces

guards. He will probably reside mostly at
Castle Gandolfo, a village fourteen miles south
east of Rome, in order to be away from the
Italian government. The report of the appoint
ment of Cardinal Simeoni as pontifical secre
tary of state is premature.
CONCESSIONS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 2.The Russians
have made substantial concessions regarding
the boundaries of Bulgaria. This point is now
settled. The question of war indemnity was
debated to-day. To facilitate its payment

FR03I WINONA.
Winona and Chatfield Narrow Gauge Rall
Road-Low Water in the River.
[Special Telegram to THE GLOBE.]
WINONA, Feb. 2.The citizens' committee,
who have just returned from a trip over the
proposed narrow gauge road from Winona to
S
Sunday
Chatfield, report a unanimous sentiment in
favor of the road in all towns visited, except in
Chatfield. These same citizens favor the Dover
branch. The committee think one hundred
thousand dollars can be raised in the towns
along the route, exclusive of this city, in aid
of the enterprise.
The water is very low in the river here, and
no prospect of an early start among steam
boats. Nearly all grain at river points went
East by rail during-the winter.
THE TARIFF CRAZ E
Pennxvlyanians Demonstrate for a Contin
uance of the Policy That Has Ruined
Them.
POTTSTOWN, Pa., March 2.The demonstration
to protest against the tariff bill recently pre
sented to the House of Representatives by the
wajs and means committee, was a large affair.
The piocession was an hour in passing the
Clark hotel, where it was received by Gov.
Hartranft, Lieutenaut Governor Lotta and
others. The different trades and industries
were fully represented. Gov. Hartranft made
an address at the meeting organized after the
procession. He said that a system of protec
will give relief to the industries
of the countiy. and that no doubt
the time will come when our superior natural
resources may enable us to compete with huccess
in all the markets of the world. But it will
not do to remove the scaffolding until the
structure is complete. We do not now ask the
assistance of piotection that will encourage
new enterprises, put simply a continuance of
the system that will enable those already in ex
istence to resume operations. He was rejoiced
to see capitalists and workingmen, employer
and employed, banded together for the bame
end, labor recognizing the fact that whatever
benefits capital benefits labor, a truth too often
forgotten through the influence of demagogues
and only so now fully remembered when crip
pled capital can no longer employ needy labor
ers.
The following resolutions were read and
adopted:
To the Honorable, the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled:
The memorial of workmen employed in in
dustrial establishments located in the Schuyl
kill valley of Pennsylvania, without reference
to political cieed or opinion, respectfully pre
sent the appended resolutions as a protest
against the passage of the tariff bill now be
fore the committee on ways and means:
WHEREAS, The tariff bill in many of its pro
visions will seriously affect the prosperity of
trades and manufactures whereby we make a
living for ourselves and families and
WHEREAS, The enactment of this revised tariff
bill would utterley destroj the industries we
represent and
WHEREAS, We deem this as a fitting time to
give utterance to our views concerning the un
settled condition of business due to the tariff
bill now offered, and we, the 10.000 workmen
assembled in Pottstown March 2, 1878, on be
half of ourselves and ten times 10,000 fellow
woikmen in this valley unable to attend, do
hereby
IteMtlve, That when the stagnation which has
existed in every avenue of business and trade
tor the past few years seems to ield to the
lust currents of returning activit} which prom
ise a better return for our labor, it is at this
juncture of the highest importance that all
national legislation to regulate commerce
should be inspired by calm deliberation and
wise judgment.
Re^olwd, That very many sections of the
proposed bill bearing on various branches of
industry here represented, are of a nature ut
terly antagonistic to our welfare, and surely
productive of continued business prostration.
Rtwlvcd, That we believe it to be impolitic
and unwise to alter, amend, or in any way im
pair the efficacy of the existing tariff laws, and
that the many past years of prosperity are the
best evidence of their wisdom in promoting
the welfaieof the people.
RevolvedThat the unexampled development
of our resources is vitallj due to the fostering
care of a protective tariff, is an unanswerable
argument favor of its continuance.
ResolvedThat every element of patriotism
demanded the advancement of protection of
home resources which concedes the right to
crush our own in order that foreign interests
may be advanced in contradiction of the bpirit
of a Republican government for a free, indus
trioub and intelligent people.
The resolution passed by the Philadelphia
di ug exchange expressing sympathy with the
sentiments ot the mass meeting here to-day,
were read and applaused. Dispatches were
also read from Senator Cameron, and W. D.
Schell, auditor-general elect, expressing their
regiet at not being able to attend, and declar
ing their full sympathy with the objects of the
meeting. It is estimated there were 15,000
perbons present.
AT NEW ALBANY, IND.
NEW ALBANY, Iud., March 2.A mass meet
ing of the manufacturers and workmen of

to protest against the passage of the Woods
tariff. The meeting was presided over by P.
R. Stay, president of the iron works and
60 Vice Presidents chosen from the various
branches of industry in our city were selected.
The resolutions demanded that frequent
changes in legislation present a want of confi
dence, and is destructive to bus
iness enterprise that the bill now
pending in Congress will destroy the industry
of our country, bring ruin to capitalists and
starvation to employes that a protective tariff
is a necessity in order to promote the growth of
our industries that the Wood tariff bill is in
the interest of foreigners that Congress, con
suming time and money on the pending bill, is
unwise, unpatriotic, and at variance with the
national welfare and finally, they demand the
passage of such resolutions as will stamp out
the Wood tariff bill and all kindred measures.

Your answer to the so-called religious par

preach what they do not practice. If ib is
their desire to have this city such a model
paradise, why don't they preach that it is a
sin to ride to church, and give the poor ani
mals a chance to rest after a week of toil,
and give their servants a little more rest.

PISTOL CHIVALRY.
Store Honor Vindicated by the Bullet.
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 27.Another re
markable duel occurred on yesterday, be
tween Richard Walker and Augustus "Wilcox,
cousins, and young men of high social posi
tion in Charles City county, about thirty
five miles from here. The misunderstand
ing leading to the rencontre grew out of an
old disagreement concerning a division of
some landed estates belonging to the fath
ers of the duelists. A controversy dating
back many years anterior to this occurrence
arose as to the boundary lines between the
plantations of the elder "Wilcox and Walker,
both of whom have been at loggerheads
about the matter for some time. Last week
Chas. McClellan, a son-in-law of Maj.
"Walker* one of the contestants, and Phillip
Wilcox, the other disputant, met, when harsh
language passed betwen them, re
sulting in McClellan's challenging Wilcox.
The invitation to settle the feud which had
been between the Wilcoxes and the Walkers
since the days of the revolution, in this way
was accepted, seconds chosen, and the spot
for the encounter to take place settled upon.
The matter had, however, leaked out, result
ing in the arrest, by order of the judge of
the county court, of the would-be duelists.
When taken in charge by the sheriff of the
county, Gus Wilcox, a son of the challenged
party, denounced Walker in the most oppro
brious language, and was as harshly answered
by Walker's son, Richard. On yesterday
morning" Richard Walker and Gus Wilcox
met, their friends say, by accident, on a coun
try road. No one else was present. As soon
as they got within pistol-shot both com
menced firing their revolvers simultaneously.
After a shot or two, Wilcox said to Walker,
"Hold on my pistol is out of order and
won't fire," to which Walker replied, "All
right I'm not in a hurry, and I'll wait."
The pistol being readjusted, firing began
again, and the result was that Walker fell,
shot through the face, and exhausted with
loss of blood, and Wilcox received a slight
wound in the arm. Both of the young men
have been arrested. The affair has created
quite a sensation in the community where it
occurred.
Consider it on its Merits.
[Faribault Republican.]
The matter should be considered irrespec
tive of the merits or demerits of the Merrill
bill. If that measure embodies a principle
that may form a very dangerous precedent
for future legislation, or is impracticable or
visionary in its details, the fact that any in
terest, from purely selfish purposes, has
sought to defeat it, ought not in the slightest
degree to influence votes in its favor. It Is
not a very uncommon device of shrewd lob
byists to endeavor to attach a taint of cor
ruption to a measure which they are secretly
endeavoring to defeat, that they may thus
secure the votes of honest but easily prej
udiced men against it, and this fact should
serve to induce legislators to regard measures
upon their merits, looking beyond the selfish
influences that may be immediately inter
ested to insure their success or defeat. There
are many in the State who are actuated by
the purest and most disinterested motives in
opposing the Merrill text book bill, as there
are likewise many who believe it the wisest
measure that can be adopted. Their opin
ions are formed irrespective of the machina
tions of book publishers' agents, er the
strikers of the Merrill ring and they have
a common interest in insisting upon the pun
ishment of bribery in whatever cause it may
become apparent.
Ute Indians Want a Scrimmage.
RAWLINS, Wy., March 2.A letter received

the Ute Indians are acting in a very defiant

states that the people are greatly excited over
the actions of the Indians and are preparing
places of safety for the women and children.

Don't Want to Give the People a Chance.
[Faribant Democrat.]
These amendments, just as they evidently
are to the Merrill jobbers, were opposed
with all the vigor Donnelly & Co. could
command. It was not proposed to give the
people the slightest chance to get rid of the
contract until the full profits had been se
cured. As it is the contractors have all the
advantage. The books must be taken, and
those in use given up, and when the new
books have once been supplied and forced
into service, it will be hard to induce three
fourths of the people to vote in favor of the
change. It matters little how poor the
books and how ridiculous the law under
which they are furnished. One
fourth the voters of any county, can force
the other three-fourths to retain the law
but with this great advantage, Donnelly and
Merrill are dissatisfied, and well they may
be. Had the amendment been liberal
enough to have allowed a majority of the
people to decide whether the law should be
operative or not, no opponent of the bill
would have found any fault but that was
not the object. The law is an unjust law, a
discriminating law, a swindling' law and an
unconstitutional law, and a majority of the
people will not be slow in finding it out and
setting the seal of their disapprobation upon
it, by remembering the imbeciles and rascals
who have fastened it upon them.

YOUN MANM^j^
The Strange Disappearance of Hermann
Trott's Nephew..
For some twelve months back, Hermann.
Trott, Esq., land commissioner of the St.
Paul Pacifio railroad company, has had
residing with him a nephew, named H.
Fehler, a youth aged 19 years, who came
from Germany at the time of his arrival in
this city. The young man has enjoyed but
indifferent health since coming to this coun
try. On Thursday evening last,, a party of
young people were assembled at Mr. Trott's
residence, 211 Eighth street, engaged in in
nocent amusements, in which,, however,
Fehler refused to join, saying he did not
feel very well, and went to bed at 9 p.
On the following morning, Fehler left the
house about 7 a. m., and, up to 9 o'clock last
night, when a GLOBE reporter called at the
house, had neither been seen nor heard of.
The missing youth is five feet seven or
eight inches in height, very light com
plexioned, with very light blonde hair, no
beard, blue eyes, full face, and broad
shouldered. He wore, on his sudden and un
explained departure, a dark suit of clothes,
blue heavy overcoat and black helmet hat.
He was known to have upon his persona
heavy gold ring, which he wore on the little
finger of the left hand, and a Bilver-cased
watch, and, it is supposed, he carried a
Smith & Wesson revolver. Although of
German nativity, Young Fehler speaks
English quite fluently.
Fehler's mysterious and unaccountable
disappearance necessarily creates exceeding
anxiety among his relatives and friends, by
whom it is thought he may have wandered
from the city while under temporary mental
aberration, superinduced by his late sickness.
His monetary resources could not have been
very great, as the monthly allowance,,
furnished to him by his uncle, had not been
paid when he went away. Any informationy
therefore, respecting the wanderer will be
most grateful to Mr. Trott, who maybe,
found at the address above furnished, or
at the land office of the St. Paul & Pacific
railroad, on the levee, foot of Sibley street.

number of striped suits at Stillwater wait
