THE AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION. I'ojtnlar Younp: ArclnluUc Charles Francis Mny Be »xt Monarcli. (Correspondence: of the Associated Press.) DRESDIvX SAXONY, November 1.-A letter received here from Vienna gives some interesting gossip' about the Austrian succession, in spite of official denials, it i«; not iniipssJble that there is some truth -n the story recently published by Hie Ncue Biidapester Abendblatt, of the ,illcg<'<3 intended abdication of the beir presujnptive to the Austria w lhrona, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in favor of ills nephew, the 15-year-oiC Archduke, Charles Francis. There is no question that 11k- yoiinq prince has for a couple of years cast attracted a greaily enhanced inter est in Austria-Hungary, and that v.nusual cars is now neing bestowed upon hiis edu cation, in view of his proximity to the throne. A few years ago, when Francis rerdin nnd's health was very indifferent, his younger brother. Otto, the father of Charfes Francis was for a time informal ly put forwurd as the immediate succes sor of Emperor Francis 'Joseph. Subse quently, it w.-is rumort. —at >^(to had ex rressed a ren 3intss to surrender nis rights in 'avor of his son. r.n exceptionally hand some boy, whose bright, intelligent looks r.nd seif-coniidcnt. good-hur.-.orcd oxprcs sior... had., already done much to endear Jiini to the Viennese. In matters irectly affecting the interests of the dynasty, not only the reigning sov ereign, but other members- of the imperial house exercise a coi\pirleraV)le iMlucnce cri such important decisions as those con cerning the succession to the throne, and St-is only a man of very strong will who can resist the argent representations of a family councinl of the imperial' house. PRESENT PROVISION. At present the succession to the throne is nmvided for with perfect clcirnpss. Archduke Frr.ncis Ferdinand, a nephew of the Emperor's, stands next, in order, and zis nc has formally renounci-d all claims lo the succession on behalf of ' the isnue of,; his morganatic marriage with the Countess Sophie Chotek, now Princess HohenberPT, he would be succeeded by his brother. Otto, unless the'lattcr should nh riicate in favor of his son.. i, The strong attitude taker, by. Francis Ferdinand on certain political and nation til questions, has. it is feared, placed him in conflict with important elements of the jropulatior of the monarchy. His clerical and anti-German tendencies do not please 1 he* bulk of the Germans in Austria, and his clerical views are equally distasteful *TV Some people begin LJk dp& /Qfe to show age before AaM O tlie meridian of life *■■' is reached, or they have lived out half their days.

FERDINAND TOO CLERICAL. While Francis Ferdinand is still in the prime of life, there is some apprehension that the position he -as adopted may seri ously increase the difficulties of a suffici ently embarrassing situaf.on Moreover i he want of confidence felt ?r. his clerical advisers is calculated to excite suspicion .•is to the possibility ot" nis being induced by powerful ecclesiastical factors to em bark o*. courses wnich might imperial the stability of the monarchy. While TtJiese Jonsiderations might lead the members:, of the imperial family to wish for another successor to ,^.ie throne, less compromised by his public expression of views, ard more popular with all his future subjects, it does not at. all foliow. that; their counsels will prevail with the Archduke. He is a man of quite excep tional independence oi character, whose iron determination has broken down very powerful opposition to bis own views. The ambition attributPd to bis clever wife, who is enthusiastically devoted to i he .'Clerical cause, would seem to con firm rather than to weaken resistance to any such proposition.

November 1."5.— John Dm vis. a nogro. was hanged in the courthouse' yard here to-day by a mob of Sou men for the murder of Robert Adalr, a farmer living near this city. Adair's hotly was found in a terribly mutilated condition in a field near his home here at an early hour to-day. Ho bad started out in pursuit of a -thief who was stealing his corn, and when his body was discovered the stock and barrel of a small rifle and a knife covered with blood were- found near him. The knife was identified as the property of John' Davis. The sheriff organized a posse and went to the house of Davis, and found a pile of bloody clothes, but the murderer had fled. He was caught, however, about half a mile from town, though not until he had been twice wounded. He was brought back, and the sheriff and Rev. John Royal Har ris made an appeal to the people "to allow the law to take its course. TETUAX SITUATION SERIOUS. And Spain Is Without, a Cabinet, in the Crlsi*. MADRID. November 13.— A dispatch re ceived here from Teluan. Morocco, where the Knbyle tribesmen have rebelled, shows ttmt the situation has" grown more seri ous. A body of srmed Tetuanites has beor. defeated in a fight with the rebels, and compelled to retreat to the town. The rebels are encamped at Samoa, .half an hour distant from Tctuan. where all busi ness is suspended. In Madrid, the posi tion of Europeans at Tetuan is considered to be most grave. The newspapers comment on Spain's con tinued ill-fortune, as again evidenced by' the fact that the country Is without a cabinet at the time of such an important crisis.

GERMAN TARIFF BULL Paragraph . Authorizing Retaliation Adopted — American Practice*. BERLIN, November 13.— The Reichstag to-day adopted; by a vote of 192 to 71. the paragraph of the new tariff bill authoriz ing the Government to retaliate, on any country discriminating against German goods. The Agrarians openly affirmed that it was necessary to arm the govern ment with" weapons for .reprisal, especial ly against the United States customs prac tices. Dr. Brumer, National-Liberal, cited an instance "in which he said $200,000 worth of enamelled goods were ordered in Germany for New York; but, the speaker asserted, the customs officials "changed the classi fication, at the instance of the American Trust, whereupon the New York importer cancelled the order." It was proved to the customs officials, said Dr. Brumer, that the invoice was in exact accord with the German sellers' books, and that, instead of the goods be ing undervalued, the books showed that shipments had been made to India at still lower prices. • MR.

Description of tlie Card Index '-Dcj Vised by (he Rev. U.H. Moore. The card index system has become an article of such general use among busi ness men that it might seem that its pos sibilities as a" time-saver and as an aid to systematic work has already been near y exhausted. It has been adapted to nearly everything in the up-to-date office, and the student's outfit is. now reckoned in complete, without some kind of a card index to keep track: of the results of his labors. Ministers of tlie Gospel have not been slow "to 'recognize 'its' adaptability to Uieir needs,- and. the study of the modern preacher, accords a prominent place -.to this twentieth century time-saver. To the uninitiated it may be well to ex plain that the; card index system consists of a number of classified cards arranged in the form of an/alphabetical index, or numbered, as may be most convenient for tne purpose used. The object is to render information concerning the subject for which the index is used easily and quick ly accessible. Hitherto "it has been, considered simply what its name implies— an' index, and. nothing more. -It has remained, however, for a Manchester preacher to discover. an , adaptation of the index system- to the needs of ministers and literary men which will make it of inestimable value to them, not only as a method of keeping track of their work. but. as an educational factor as well. This new. system is also mani festly a saver of both time and gray mat ter. . - - : - - The Rev. H. H. ; Moore, pastor of/Co wardin-Avenue. Christian Church, is .the inventor of the new system, and does not hesitate to predict that it will supersede anything. of the kind. now on the market when it is once fully introduced and its superior advantages explained.'- Mr.' Moore said, that his invention is the result of years of investigation and care ful trial of different methods of classify ing sermon material, and is notably free from the obnoxious .'"red tape"' features of many other card index systems. Not only is it exceedingly" simple in its opera tion,- but inexpensive as well. It is not adapted to the needs of a lasy student or preacher who may desire to get' gold with out diggingjfpr it,-. but it' will lighten the labors of a'man whoiputs the system into operation in themanner it is designed to used. The card is about the size of a postal card, land Is "printed with spaces for entries.' The design" is such as to make it universal for the use of a. minister of any denomination, cither Catholic or Protes tant, anti-its usefulness Has not Decn sac rificed, to enable universal application. It is also universal as to the subjects which can be recorded. • i The system is so absolutely unique and original that it is difficult to describe. A brief description of the card is as fol lows: . Perpendicularly arranged on the left end of the, card, and numbered "from: one- to seven, are the words '.Bible, -book, month ly, sermon, slipping, memorandum, and cross reference. -On. the top of the word, subject, and a space '"for- writing. Opposite the word Bible are. spaces for recording the book. 'chapter and verse of any text. in ■the Bible. Next '.below fellows space for entering reference to any page of any vol ume of any book.'' Next to the word monthly, are spaces for. recording a refer ence to anything published in any maga zine, or newspaper. Sermons, clippings and memoranda are "all arranged in proper classified order and easy of future access. There are. five cross references referring to records on other cards or giving loca tion of "matter on '-file, so that whatever maybe the subject, or wherever the "ma terial", bearing on that subject may bV* located, it can. be'found at once. . O:if> peculiar ..feature which differenti ates this 'system from 'others is that, the memory does not have to be depended upon in getting at subject matter entered on any card. ; For instance, the ordinary system will only give up its contents by looking for any article according to its alphabetical 'classification; this new sys tem, '.however, .will'enable one to find what is wanted by.'simply looking it up through any word synonymous with the subject indicated. • .The method pursued in making entries has. (in important bearing on the value of the system;, in fact, .it is an inseparable part of it. Mr. Moore has not placed his invention oil the: market, './notwithstanding; strong commendations from: prominent preach ers, who say that his idea is a good one. He is at present '.engaged in writing- a' series of magazine articles on the card index for a prominent publication, and he deoires to await more extended criticism of his improvement before putting it on" sale. .' : ■ • . -; "Kins Dodo" To-Day.
