>riNNi:soT.vs GREAT FAIR.
The state fair opened most auspiciously.
The first day was a pleasant surprise to the
managers and to the visitors. The attend
ance was larger than was anticipated, and
the exhibit far surpassed ail expectations.
Our Minnesota people felt a justifiable pride
in the splendid showing made on yesterday.
It i* true that the rush and hurry always
atlgndant on the opening of an exposition
was aggravated in this instance because of
the limited time within which the associa
tion has had to arrange for a fair of such
extraordinary proportions as this one. And
as it so happened that the exhibition is
much larger than was originally anticipated,
it is a wonder that the association has
at all been able to meet the demands
made upon it. So that yesterday when the
visitor reached the fair grounds and viewed
the magnificent display, and saw the ample
accommodations which had been provided
and to which the finishing touches were
being given, the wonder was that so much
could have been done in such a short time.
Then- is everthing to please the eye and to
gratify the expectations of the most critical.
In their natural beauty the grounds are un
surpassed. All that art can do has been ;
done to add to their loveliness. The build- I
ings are splendid in design and of the am
plest capacity. But, what is best of all,
the exhibit of Northwestern products is
superb. It is no exaggeration to
say there has never been a fair
In any North western state at which
there was ever as line an exhibit of live
stock, both as regards numbers and the high
grade of the stock, as at this tair. And it
is questionable whether it has ever been
surpassed in the United States. And the
same may be said in reference to almost
every other department. The railroads
which run into St. Taul have been most
generous in their display of agricultural
products along their respective lines. Thjß
dairy department is Up to the full standard
of a Minnesota exhibit, and that implies the
best in the world, for in its dairy products
the stale now siands highest on the roll of '
honor. The display of machinery and ag
ricultural implements is up to what j
a first-class Northwestern fair should
be. But the most attractive fea- i
ture of all is the magnificence of
the display in the main building. Here
it is the eye of the visitor delights to rest,
as it revels in a succession of lovely sight-,
which rival in splendor the dazzling loveli
ness of :m Oriental bazaar.
The State Fair association has every
reason for congratulation upon the splendid
success it has achieved iv its opening
exhibition. Minnesota has cause to be
proud of it, for she has an exposition which
challenges the admiration of all her sister
states. The people of Ramsey county have
a satisfaction in knowing that it was due to
their liberality this groat enterprise has
ivi'n made a success. With such an auspi
ous opening there is no doubt that the re
maining days of The fair will demonstrate
it to be the most superior agricultural ex
hibit ever made west of the Mississippi.
UNKIND CRITICISMS.
The omnibus resolutions passed by the
waterways convention do not receive much
commendation from outside sources. There
is too much Goose creek in the scheme pro
jected by the convention to please the peo
ple who do not live in the immediate vicin
ity of that famed local stream and its tribu
taries. In other words, there is a disposi
tion on the part of the press of the country
to accept .Mr. Do.wki.i.y's definition of the
objects of the convention when he styled it
an organized raid on the treasury of most
gigantic proportions. Even in Chicago,
where it was expected that the recognition
of the llennepiu canal would have recon
ciled all differences, there is a
most vigorous kick by the Tribune.
The Tribune speaks of it as "one
of the most extravagent schemes ever de
vised by a body of men as intelligent as the
delegates to the waterway convention."
The opinion is expressed that in order to
follow the example of the St. Paul conven
tion, congress would have to appropriate at
least 5100,000,000 annually for so-called
improvements that would never justify the
expenditure of one-fourth that amount. It
further says that "in all probability very
few of the delegates to the recent conven
tion really believe the plans proposed are
feasible. The resolutions represent a log
rolling scheme gotten up in imitation of the
methods followed in congress whan a river
and harbor bill is under consideration. Yet
in congress it is considered necessary only
to secure enough votes to pass the bill; but
the St.. Paul convention was de
termined to be unanimous, and hence
included the plans of every delegate, how
ever magnificent they happened to be. If
the convention had made an honest and in
telligent effort to select such plans as are
feasible the vote might not have been unan
imous, but the action would have carried
some weight. As it is, the convention has
proved how easy it is for a body of men to
get together and vote away (in the mind's
eye) hundreds of millions of the people's
money in a grand, benevolent, log-rolling
scheme embracing everything in general and
nothing in particular."
\\ bile the criticisms made by the Tribune
have some force in them, it will occur to
the citizen of the Northwest that a point
has been stnmicil by our Chicago contem
porary to give emphasis to them. This is
no time to quarrel about what has been
done. It is a time for the varied in
terests of the%orthwest to stand shoul
der to shoulder and thus secure what <-,\n be
obtained by united action, but which will
inevitably be lost if we divide against our
selves. The Globe is of opinion that the
demands of the convention are a trifle larger
than will be granted. At the same time
we are confident that the most important
appropriations can be secured. If our Cbi
caeo friends waul t<> drop the Hennepln
canal scheme we will rai.*>i' no objection,
although, so far as St. Paul is concerned,
we can m-;> ]><> reason why we should an
tagonize it, "r object to it in any form. On
the contrary we are disposed to believe that
the ileuui i>in canal will be of great advan
tage iii St. Paul as we are sure it will be to
a large portion <>! the great Mississippi val
ley lying to the south of us. What helps
one ought to belp all.
A SHAM SERVICE.
The experience, of the United States gov
ernment With Mr. KEILEV has served to
open the discussion of a proposition r> abol
ish our sham diplomatic service. So far as
Mr. Keiley's Individual ease is concerned
Italy had a technical right, although it w.is
:>. narrow course to pursue, to reject him.
but there was not even a technical pretext
lin the case of Austria. The formal reason
1 assigned for it fusing to accept him was
thai his wife was a Jewess, and that it
would be a violation of court etiquette to
receive her. This representation of tli •
Austrian government is an insult to the
United States, ami demands resulting action.
The proper thing for our government to
do is to exclude Austria altogether
from the list of those to whom the com
pliment is p;'id of formal recognition. And
it Austria is excluded from the diplomatic
list what reason is there that ail oi the na
tions should not be dropped. Ourdiplo
i matic service is a sham and ought to be
abolished. An American minister at a
European court is an anomaly. lie is a I
i mere figurehead* He has uo diplomatic
duties to discharge. The relations between
this country and other countries are such
that diplomacy is out of the question.
The cable telegram has brought the state ;
: neni ml ■ such close relations with
.\ countries that even if diplomacy was j
I needed the secretary of Mate him- 1
■ self would be the real and only j
diplomat Uut the absurdity of j
this country attempting to maintain a
diplomatic service is apparent when we re
memher that we have no diplomatic corps
from which to select ministers: no school in
which our representatives are educated in i
the mysteries of state craft. Our ministers '
j are not chosen because of their fitnes - t i
discarge diplomatic duties. They are urged
by politicians and are generally selected to j
gratify party demands or to reward partisan ;
service. The tact is there are no relations
i between the United States and the European '
I nations that would impose duties on a mm- ■
, istcr which a competent consulate service |
could not as well perform. The!
American envoy extraordinary and mm- }
isrer plenipotentiary is nothing after all '
TIIE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1885. —TWELVE PAGES.
but a business agent for the government. I
The fact that our ministers are not the !
laughing stock of the world is the best
evidence that the ancient theory of diplo- !
macy no longer survives. According to the
European theory.the schools of Goutsciia
koff and Cavouk signify something tangi
ble. But they do not relate to conditions
which concern us. They are based upon !
the theory of secrecy, which supposes that all !
governments are constantly intriguing.
European diplomacy may be properly des
ignated a delicate system of lying. It is !
to say one thing and mean another, without ;
giving your opponent an opportunity to con
vict you of falsehood. There is no necessity
for secrecy in our relations with
the world. The policy of the I
United States is embodied in the
constitution. It is an open book.
Our policy consists of a very few and well
understood traditions. It is well under
stood by all the world that we have no dis- !
position to enlarge our territory and we
have no intention of permitting another |
government to be erected on American soil. ;
There is not a single reason why we need
to maintain a score or more' of American
gentlemen in luxurious exile at vast ex
pense. Our constitution can keep before
the eyes of foreign potentates the element
ary propositions of American diplomacy. If
they wish to know anything of the bearing
of our constitution and traditions upon pres
ent emergencies and conditions, all the
princes and prime ministers and grand
viziers of the Old World have to
do is to read the American newspapers.
Our public press copiously interprets
all that is needed in regard to our foreign
relations, and a first-class American daily
newspaper will give all the information
that could be conveyed by a procession of
gentlemen in swallow-tailed coats bearing
the instructions of the state department.
An illustration of how much better the
newspapers sometimes represent the will of
the American people than our diplomatic
agents was given several years ago when
Mr. 15i.ai.vk made such a notable blunder in I
his instructions to the American representa- i
tives in Peru and Chili. An American em- ■
bassadoris an anachronism, and the further j
maintenance of the system is undemocratic
and irrational. If Mr. Kkilky's rejection |
will serve to arouse the country to the duty
of dispensing with its corps of ornamental
loungers, distinguished by nothing but their
money and their feeble and ridiculous efforts
to institute nobility, then Mr. Keiley will
not have suffered in vain.
GRACEFULLY DOXE.
it was a very graceful proffer of the hand
of fellowship and good will which the Min
neapolis board of trade yesterday extended
to St. Paul, and on behalf of our people
the Globe assures our Minneapolis friends
that the olive branch is accepted in the same
spirit of kindness and cordiality with which
it was tendered. There can be no rivalry
between the Twin cities except that gen
erous emulation ■which prompts each to
strive for the. honor of being foremost in
every good work which redounds to the ben
efit of both alike. Our material interests
are so closely interwovon that the two cities
must stand or fall togcthor. What assures
the success of one is a guarantee of the
progress of the other. Judge Atwateij
paid a just tribute to St. Paul
when he said that our people had
treated the Minneapolis delegates to
the waterways convention in a liberal, gen
erous and open-handed manner. That was
the treatment St. Paul bestowed upon all
the delegates, and it is St. Paul's invariable
method of treating its guests. There is no
place iii the breast of a St. Paul citizen for
narrow or sectional feeling. And we are
gratified to see the Minneapolis board of
trade making a manly admission of this
truth in the face of the puerile attempt of
certain influences in that city to keep alive
a prejudice which cannot be justified and
which never had a reason to exist. If the
waterways convention has done no other
good it has at least brought the people of
the two cities to a better understanding of
the community of interests which exists be
tween them. As an evidence of this fact,
the harmony and good feeling as well as the
united zeal of the twin sisters in promoting
the success of our state fair speaks most
encouragingly.
AX INJUSTICE.
A correspondent of the Globe makes a
good point in relation to the resolution
adopted by the board of water commission
ers which declares that water shall not be
taken from the mains to (ill cisterns along
the line of the water mains. The resolu
tion not only does a great injustice to the
poor men of the city but it is an abridge
ment of the rights of the public which the
water commissioners have no right to im
pose. The water works belong to the city
and the people who pay for them are enti
tled to the use of the water in any way they
prefer to use it, and should be protected in
that right so long as it does not interfere
with the public. Of what consequence is
it to the. water commissioners whether
a freeholder takes the water from a
main and runs it into his cistern or into his
bath room. In the beneficence of the Al
mighty there is nothing freer to man than
water. And while it takes money to con
struct artificial channels with which to sup
ply cities, most certainly those who pay for
bringing it to their homes ought to have
the free use of the water when it is there.
It i- an outrage that, because a man is too
poor to have water connections made be
tween his house and the main, he should be
denied the use of the water for which he
has been taxed to bring it to the street on
which he lives. Unless the water commis
sioners can show that the resolution affects
a public benefit the people will demand its
immediate repeal.
REPUBLICANS DISCOMFITED.
The lowa Republicans are all broken up
because the courts have decided that the
saloonkeepers in that state have some rights
which even lowa Republicans can be made
to respect. The theory of the lowa Repub
licans was that they had a right to go ahead
closing ur> saloons and destroying the prop
erty of saloonkeepers by the summary
process of an injunction. The courts, how
lever, have an idea that the right of trial by I
jury is still the sacred right of American
freemen, regardless of their occupations.
'!"!!■■ doctrine of states rights in the mind
of the average Republican is about as
pliant and reversible as a decision of the late
electoral commission.
Mb. Stead, editor of the Pall Hall Gazette,
perhaps realize? by this time that he overdid
himself in the scandal business. Enterprise
in a newspaper is a good thing-, but when it j
goes beyond the limit of law it is just as r< p
rebensible as the crime it seeks to rebuke.
If Editor Stead's seal bad been wholly di
rected to doing- the public a service be would
probably have teen more cautious in making- \
developments. But when he coupled cupidity '
with zeal Tor purifying the moral atmosphere i
of London be lost bis balance in eagerness to j
grasp a few extra pennies. Sir. Stead will ;
learn, as many other newspaper men have !
learned, that there is a vast difference be- j
tween Journalistic enterprise and journalistic :
sensationalism.

The Spanish-German war is lost sight of on j

the American fondness for the excitement of

Europe trembled in the throes of a revolution j

ItliUMt>sota Wheat Grades.
S tillwater Messenger.
It becomes more and more apparent that
the lately established grain laws are inade
quate to properly define the respective grades
of the wheat crops of 1885. They lack com
prehensiveness; the rules that govern them
are too numerous, and the grades ire far too
few. The wheat crop of lSi;5 varies so widely
Crom No. 1 to No. i, with the quantity in fa
vor of the inferior grades, that to give to
each its proper grade will require the utmost
nicety of distinction. The shortage the
yield and its inferiority in quality will lead
the farmers to insist on their rights as they
have never insisted on them before. What is
wanted and what will be demanded before the
fall season is over is fractional grades.
JR. TALKtAGB ABROAD.
An English i>en Portrait and an
Interview.
!i A reporter of the London Pall Mall Gazotte
had an interview recently with Dr. Talmage
in regard to its recent sensational and pru
rient publications! The following is a part
of the report:
"Now," said Dr. Talmag-e, "in my opinion
you have done enormous good. Your reve
lations have been read in every corner of the
universe and have Bet men thinking. In the
states they are, lam toll, the common sub
ject of conversation (for I was away when
they appeared), but I have read them care
fully and discussed them from every
point of view with many people,
fellow travelers by land and sea, who
generally approve of the course that
has been taken. Do I believe in their truth?
Why,l have only been in London for a few days
and since my last visit, some years ago, I am
absolutely appalled at tho increase of vice in
the Strand alone. You say that obloquy has
been heaped upon you. Notice it not.
Agitate! agitate! agitate! Shall you stay
your hand now that you have done this
thing? No! no no! Send forth your
preachers into the public places and tell your
people the truth. You want six John Knoxes
and six John Wesleys to sow the good seed In
the barren places of the world. Agitate and
go on agitating. Good seed bears fruit slowly.
You have shaken the worldsown the seed
of a moral revelation. Agitate! agitate!
agitate! Heed not the cries, the objurgations
and the anathemas. Let tho clubmen and
aristocrats taik."
"It has been said. Dr. Talmag-e, that we
have pandered pruriency by the plain
language tliat has been used in setting forth
these horrors, that much might have been
suppressed."
"There are only two methods, I take it, of
dealing with such matters- the Byronical
and the Biblical. Had you employed the
first, the accusations leveled against the pa
per would have been just, but you employed
the right, the only straightforward and
proper method of stating your facts in the
most telling manner, and the only manner to
drive the horrible truths home to the commu
nity. That, at any rate, is my opinion, which
you asked for."
Dr. T»Uma','e has a striking face, with fea
tures that mind one of Charles Kingsley
and Dr. Farrar, a low, broad forehead, thin
brown hair,plentiruuy tinged with gray,care
fully brushed, Cor the eloquent divine boasts
110 wild and unkempt locks character
istic of the evangelist. On the contrary, he
is trim and well snorn. His chin and upper
lip are close shaven, he has thin, dark, strag
gling whiskers, which grow grayer and whiter
as they join the hair, dark blue eyes, deep
set,full of lire and expression when he warms
to his subject, a look of concentration accen
tuated by the shaggy eyebrows, a face marked
with the lines of thought. The doctor smiies
sometimes and reveals a set of perfect teeth,
and more than once, when recounting some
of his adventures, breaks out into a hearty
laugh, the heartiness of which is perhaps
rather subdued by the knowledge of his evan
gelistic function. Now and then his right
hand finds itself between the folds of his coat,
and rests there for a moment twitching spas
modically, lie speaks, by the way, with an
accent American, of course, but not too
strong American, and "guesses," though he
never "bets."
"Another good," continued Dr. Talmage.
"You have sounded the tocsin of alarm in
every family, sounded alarm in the bosom of
every good mother, and brought the blood to
the face of every right thinking man. You
say that some declined to allow your paper to
lie in their parlors and drawing-rooms, for
fear of contaminating their young sous and
daughters. But how else are \ou to warn
them? You cannot Bay to your children:
■ 'There's a great evil of which you must be
ware, but I cannot toll you what that evil is.'
If you warn them against gambling, you point
out to them the evils of gambling and the ruin
which follows. So. I take it, you must deal
with this horrible sin. There is no time for
shamefaced delicacy. You ask foi a parallel.
Take the case of Boss Tweed. He stole mill
ions from the public exchequer, to common
knowledge. For a time no one spoke. it was
not until the scandal became too notorious
that action was taken. There were many
Boss Tweeds. Tweedism grew by force of
example, until the evil had to bo grappled
with, not in one town alone, but many. Vigil
ance committees were formed, and it became
known thai Tweedism was not to be condoned.
So it is with the ques.iin of vice. ltllourisb.es
for a time and grows by nourishing. But a
time comes at last when some man, bolder
than his fellows, takes the matter in hand.
Publicity and agitation are two mighty
swords."

cific coast and enable it to get to San Fran
cisco by steamers from San Diego indepen
dent of the Southern Pacific Although
the Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific have
at present virtually an independent line to
San Francisco, yet they have to run over
the Southern Pacific from Mojave under a
prorating arrangement from Albuquerque.
In case or a war between the Transconti
nental roads the Southern Pacific may con
strue this arrangement in such a manner as
to embarass the Santa Fe and Atlantic &
Pacific roads considerably. By building the
now line to San Diego the last-named roads
will become entirely independent of the
Southern Pacific, and will have nothing to
fear if the latter should attempt to euibarass
it on business going via Mojave.

Tlio Carolines Dispute.
Madrid, Sept. 7.—Dispatches just re
ceived regarding the German occupation of
Yap, state that the Spaniards on the island
had hoisted the Spanish flag and had low
ered it at sunset for the night, as is cus
tomary with all nationalities, and that im
mediately afterwards the German gunboat
ran in, landed marines and sailors, hoisted
the German colors and formally Occupied
the place, despite the protestations Of the
Spaniards. Prince Bismarck has offered to
withdraw the German forces from Yap,
provided Spain will not occupy it pending
a diplomatic solution of the question. As
to Spain's claim over the island, Germany
will acknowledge the Spanish occupation
of Yap, provided Spain proves that the
Spanish Hag had been hoisted on the island
before the German gun-boat had arrived in
the harbor. The excitement in Madrid over
the affair has quieted down. Everything
was tranquil last night. Count Yon flaber
feldt. in his statement to Count Benemar
regarding the orders that had been given
to the German gun-boat, meant that the
gun-boat had been forbidden to hoist the
German Hag where the Spanish flag had
been hoisted. He said that the disobedience
of the commander of the gun-boat would
not effect the situation.
The universal opinion here is that the
last communication to the government from
Count Solens Sounenwalde, the German
minister, justifies the hope of a speedy ami
cable settlement of the Carolines dispute.
EMBHOILIXG FRANCE.
Paris, Sept. 7.—M. De Freycineth, min
ister of foreign affairs, is hurriedly return
ing to Paris in consequence of the excite
ment occasioned by the Carolines affairs.
The Spanish residents at Marseilles threaten
to attack the German consulate in that city.
The local authorities have taken steps to
prevent any repetition of the Madrid out
rage. The newspapers of Paris, in com
menting on the difficulty between Germany
and Spain, insist that Prince Bismarck is
trying to embroil France in the affair.
A dispatch from Madrid to Temps says:
The government has renewed its orders to
the governors of provinces to prevent anti-
German manifestations and military precau
tions have been increased in Saragos.sa and
Valencia. Probable King Leopold of Belgium
or Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria will
be asked to act as arbitrator between Spain
and Germany. King Alfonzo at the cabi
inet council to-day deprecated a hasty de
cision to rupture the friendly relations" with
Germany. An anti-German demonstration
at St. Sebastian ha.-* been suppressed and
several arrests has been made.
BISMARCK'S CALMNESS.
Berlin, Sept. 7.TheKreuzzelung says
that Germany, in obtaining reparation from
Spain, refrains from adding to the troubles
of a friendly sovereign. The Kieuzzelung
is confident that Prince Bismarck's seasoned
judgment and linn hand will conduce to a
settlement of the dispute. Other newspa
pers praise the calmness displayed by the
citizens of Berlin.
EXCITEMENT IN CUBA. '..■'
Havana, Sept 7.About 5.000 persons
attended a meeting at the Spanish
Casino yesterday, which had been called to
take action in connection with the seizure
of the Caroline islands by Germany. En
thusiastic speeches were made, pledging
the lives and property of the citizens of
CubiUu support of the Spanish govern
ment In case of war. A merchant, in the
name of the merchants of Havana, offered
SauO.OOO toward purchasing men-of-war.
A resolution was adopted urging traders to
suspend relations with Germany while
negotiations are. pending. A procession
was then formed and marched to the palace,
and the president and directors of
lie Casino called upon the captain general
and informed him of the action of the
meeting. The captain general thanked
them and said if war broke out the Ger
mans would not go to Spain, but might |
come to Cuba, in which event he was pie- I
pared to defend the island from German i
aggression, and he counted on their support
and that of all the people of Cuba. The
gathering dispersed peacefully, after giving !
cheers for Spain. King Alfonso and the I
captain general. A portion of the crowd
passed in front of the German consulate,
repeating the cheers for Spain and King !
Alfonso. The consulate is guarded. A |
committee from the political party known j
as the Union Constitutional and "the com- ;
manders of numerous volunteer corps has
offered its services to the captain general '
and the national government. The press !
of Havana is highly indignant over the !
Carolines affair and the public excitement
is intense.
The Caroline islands are a "widely-scattered
archipelago in the Pacific ocean to the east of
the Philippines and tqe north of New Guinea,
between 3° and 11 => n. lat., and 135° and
177° B. Ion?. By the Spaniards, who lay
claim to the whole, they are divided into the ;
Western, the Central and the Eastern Caro- f
lines. The Western, better known as the Pc- i
lew islands, have a total area of 340 square
miles, and are nearly encircled by a coral reef.
The surface is frequently well wooded and the
soil fertile. The Central Carolines, or those
which are more usually known as the Caro
lines proper, consist of about forty-eight
croups with 100 or 500 islands. The Njroli.
Gulu, or Matelotas group lies to the northeast •
of the Pelews, and consists of threo islands, !
inhabited by a few people from Yap. Yap '
lies further to the northeast, is about ten
miles in length, and has an excellent harbor
on the southeast. The natives are at a higher
level of civilization than most of their neigh
bors; they cultivate the betel-nut with great
care, build first-rate boats, lay out their vil- j
lages regularly, pave their streets and con
struct stone piers and wharves. The Eastern
Carolines are otherwise known as the Mnl
grave archipelago, and comprise the Kadak,
Kalik or Marshal] group and the Gilbert group.
The total population is estimated at 100,000. j
They were discovered by the two voyagers ;
whose names they bear, in 1788.
Trying- the Sensationalists.
London. Sept. 7.—Mr. Stead, editor of
the Pall Mall Gazette, Mrs. Jan-eft. Bram- |
wellßooth, Mrs. Coombe. Mr. Jacques and :
Mine. Maury, the defendants in the so
called abduction case, appeared in the Bow
street police court to-day in answer to the
charges against them. Mr. Stead con- i
ducted his own case, while counsel repre
sented the others. The excitement in the
courtroom and hi the vicinity has seldom, i
if ever,been equalled. The police were pow- I
rless to control thee mob who had assembled i
to hear the proceedings. Members of the i
Salvation army were arriving all the morn- '
ing in cabs, and were hooted and jostled by I
the crowd on their way to the court room. ■
In the court there was a compact mass of i
people: a number of reporters were present,
also many members of the Salvation army
and quite a sprinkle of brothel keepers.
Mrs. Jarrett sat in the prisoners' dock. Mr.
Stead and Bramwell Booth had seats on the
front of the dock. Mr. Poland, solicitor for
the treasury, opened the case for the crown
with a long speech, in which he gave a de
scription of how the girl was obtained from '
her mother,
THE OUTRAGE
to which she had been subjected after she
was installed in Madame Maury?s establish
ment, and the treatment she had received
from the time she left her mother until she
was recovered and taken home. Mrs. Jar
rett. during Mr. Polland's speech, sat with
a calm demeanor, her eyes closed and her
head nodding, closely resembling Charles
Dickens' "Sally Brass," in the "Old Curi
osity Shop." Mr. Stead appeared uncon
cerned, smiling occasionally, and at times
denying Mr. Polland's allegations. At the
conclusion of his address to the court Mr.
Polland demanded the committal of all the
defendants for trial. The child Eliza Arm
strong was placed on the witness stand and
identified Mrs. Jarrett as the woman who
had secured her from her father on the plea
of needing her assistance to do housework. |
The girl then gave in detail the circum- 1
stances of her abduction. She further testi- j
fled that at the medical examination imme- |
diately after she was decoyed from home I
the physician tested her Innocence, despite
her screams, and that afterward she was i
despatched to France to prevent the police j
from getting possession of her or her mother. 1
She wrote several letters home, but the
members of the Salvation army who had
charge of her suppressed them. This ended
the girl's testimony for the day. The de
fendants indicated that they would contest
the accuracy of the girl's statements. The
court then adjourned until to-morrow.
The defendants were all released on
bail. Mr. Stead and Mrs. Jarret were I
hissed by tho crowd as they were leaving ;
the court. j
The mob at the doors of the court tried to j
overturn Gen. Booth's carriage and molested
other members of the Salvation army. Eliza
Armstrong was cheered.
Not Pleasant for IKussia.
London, Sept. 7.—The ameer of Bok
hara has abdicated in favor of his son,
Turani, who is inimical to Russian inter
ests and friendly towards England. Russia
lias determined to extend her railway sys
tem through Bokhara, despite the protesta
tions of .Turani. A Bokharan embassy is i
at present in St. Petersburg discussing I
the question with the Russian minister.
The concession for building the railway
was obtained by Russia from the father of i
Turani. and is in connection with the
Transcaspian railway.
Archbishop Walsh Installed.
Dublin, Sept. 7. — Archbishop Walsh

Davitt and O'Doherty, twelve parliamentary
supporters of Mr. Parnell and a vast con
course of citizens.

Afghan war. In return Beloachistan is to
be subsidized equally with Afghanistan,
and the Quetah railway is to be connected
with Kelat with the capitol of Beloachis
tan.
I*Enrk. JLane Express.
LONDON, Sept. 7.—The Mark Lane Exm-ess
in its weekly review of the British grain
trade, Bays bad weather in some sections and
local storms in others have delayed harvest-
Ing. The sales of English wheat during the
past week were 49.709 qis at 82s id, against
62,573 qrs at 34s 3d during the corresponding 1
week lust year. The price of foreign wheat
is unchanged. There has been a decline of
6d per qr in the price of cargoes off the coast.
There were eighteen arrivals, live cargoes
were sold, six were withdrawn and thirteen
remained, including one of California, and
about twenty cargoes arc due. At to-dny's
market it was difficult to sell wheat. Flour I
was about fid cheaper, corn and oats were
dull, barley was quiet.
The Spanish Trouble.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, Sept. 7. —Neither the
Spanish nor the German legation has any
news to-day concerning the trouble between ;
those two countries. The secretary of the !
German legation, the only member
of the legation now in the city,
says that the present outlook seems
threatening, but he can't judge of
what the outcome will be. From a diplo
matic standpoint the situation is unprece
dented, he says, as the policy of Germany
to acquire new territory is an entirely new
one.
The Cholera Scourge.
Madrid, Sept. 7. There were 2,321
new cases of cholera and 919 deaths from
the disease reported yesterday throughout
Spain. Yesterday's cholera returns, com- i
pared with those of the 30th ult., show that
the epidemic increased in Barcelona, Cadiz,
Santauder and Tarragona and has decreased
about 50 per cent, in the remaining prov
inces.
SIOUX FAL2.S CONVENTION.
Delegates Numerous, Ready For the
Work of To-Uay,
Special to the Globe.
Sioux: Falls, Dak., Sept. 7.—The cor
ridors of the hotels are fast tilling with del
egates for the convention, which meets to
morrow, and appearances now indicate a
large representation. Considerable inter
est is already apparent. Among the more
prominent who have arrived are Secretary
Teller, Judge Moody, Rev. J. A. Ward,
P. B. Coffin and 11. J. Grant, and each
train brings in new arrivals. Some caucus
ing is being indulged in, and there
seems to be a large element in favor of ad
journment without action, though the im
pression is that the convention will curry
out the objects for which it was created.
Chief Justice Edgerton. it is generally con
ceded, will be the chairman, though Rev.
Mr. Ward and Judge Moody are both prom
inently mentioned in this connection. The
headquarters for the delegates seems to be
at the Cataract house, though the other
hotels are receiving large numbers. The
Prohibitionists and Women suffragists are
quite numerous, and will make strong ef
forts in behalf of their respective in
terests in the provisions of the constitu
tion.
She Had. a. Water Snake.
Hartfoiid City, Ind., Sept. —Lillie
M. Hahon, 7 years of age, living three miles
south of this city, commenced complaining
of a pain in the stomach over three months
ago. She gradually became worse, until,
during a paroxyism of suffering, she was
threatened with convulsions. She often
described her sensations as that something
was alive in her stomach, and said she
could feel it move. She was medicated
much of the time, and often worm medi
cine was administered, the idea prevailing
that it was stomach worms that caused her
suffering. She became emaciated, weak
and almost bloodless. Her appetite was
depraved and she took little nourishment
except of a fluid nature. She was troubled
with great thirst, often drinking copious
draughts of wafer, after which she would
be relieved for an hour or more. During
the last week she complained of pain in her
bowels and her sufferings at times became
almost unbearable. She was confined to
her bed, and her friends thought dissolution
would soon end her agony. On Friday
morning last she expelled from the
bowels an object over two feet in length.
Microscopic observation developed the fact
that the object discharged was a species of
water-snake, and it is alive and quite active.
It is kept in rain water in a stopped bottle.
When the water is chilled it becomes torpid
and when subjected to heat it becomes ac
tive. Under the microscope it has been
seen to protrude its tongue, which resem
bles the point of a tine needle. It is per
fectly round, smooth and uniform in size
throughout its entire length. The child is
rapidly recovering and experiences none of
the sensations that troubled it prior to be
ing relieved of its terrible tormentor.
Hundreds of persons have seen the reptile
and witnessed its gyratory movements in
wonder and amazement. It has none of
the characteristics of tape worm or any
form of ortozoic life described by authors.
The child must have drank water of which I
it was an inhabitant and it gradually devel
oped.
Desertion in High Life.
Special to the Globe.
Philadelphia, Sept. 7.— of the
most notable events in the upper circles of
society during the season of 1875 was the
marriage of Lieut. C. 11. Baldwin of the
United States navy to Miss Emma Perot, a
recognized belle. Her father, was con
nected with the navy department and is
now a leading merchant in Chili, South
America. In May, 1877, Lieut. Baldwin
was ordered on duty. His ship, the Oneida,
touched at Yokohama, Japan. Baldwin
accepted a proposition from the Japanese
government to organize and take charge of
the hydrographic school at Kioto and re
signed his position in the American navy.
For several years he maintained a •
regular correspondence with Mrs. Baldwin
and made generous contributions for
her support. Then his letters arrived fib
fully, and his remittances became smaller.
Another year passed by. Letters and
money both failed to be received by Mrs.
Baldwin. Her letters remained unanswered.
The communications of her counsel met
with a like fate, until a few months ago
when she received a letter from the ex-
Heutenant declaring that he had made new
alliances and would never return to th»»
United States. Naval officers say that he
lias married a Javanese waman of rank.
Mrs. Baldwin has entered a suit for divorce,
and asks the custody of her son. She gives
as a cause "Willful desertion for more than
two years."

Not Insane, But Alt Inebriate.
OsiiKosir, Wis., Sept. 7.State Senator
Cottrill was brought here to-day by his
recently appointed guardian. Mr. Wasson,
who had a commitment from the county
court at -Milwaukee to confine the senator in
the insane asylum here for two years as an
inebriate. The superintendent, Dr. Wig
genton, declined to admit Cottrill,
ruling that the senator had been
committed, not as a lunatic, but as ail
inebriate, and. therefore, could not prop
erly be made an inmate of the asylum.
Cottrill, who was one of the revisers of the
statutes, raised this point to Dr. Wiggen
ton, and, after an elaborate argument, car
ried the issue. His guardian, Wasson,
finally came to terms, and it was arranged
that the senator should remain voluntarily,
for the time being, until the matter can be
decided by the state board of supervision. Q

The Whisky Pool Broken.
PEOBIA, 111., Sept. 7.—The National
Democrat having interviewed prominent
distillers and got what it vouches for as the
bottom facts in regard to the Western Ex
port association, will say to-morrow: "The
whisky pool, or, as it is better known to
the trade, the Western Export association,
is hopelessly broken. Alcohol and high
proof spirits to-day are selling in prominent
manufacturing centers in the West foi
81.04 to 51.05 per proof gallon. Wean
also informed that if this war continues, oi
which there seems to be no doubt, pricei
will go down to SI per proof gallon for al
cohol and high-proof spirits. The bonanzt
distillers are determined to drive the knii'4
to the hilt and then wiggle the hilt."
