A Berlin letter to the Vienna Tagblatt says squarely that a Franco-German war must now be looked upon as inevitable. It is perfectly oertain that among the people of either country involyed, there is not the slightest general desire for war. Yet Europe is every day drifting nearer and nearer to an awful outbreak, which no- body wants and nobody seems able to pre- vent. _ — — NERVOUS STOCK MARKETS.

PETERSBURG, January 8.—At the time of the greatest bardships endured by the Rus sianarmy corps under Gen. Gourko, during the last war,in the passage of the Balkans amid winter, when on Shipka soldiers were dying from all kinds of exposure and priva- tions, the sensibilities of the public, and even the kind-hearted Emperor Alexander I., were constantiy allayed by the stereotyned report from the Balkans: Everything quiet on Shipka.** Well, the war was finally at an end. Thousands ot families in St. Petersburg put on mourning; instead of rejoicing at the end of a glorious and victorious war, the whole Nation’s spirit seemed crushed under the weight of the un- expected treachery of the Iron Chancellor, who, afver all his protestations of friendship, repaid Germany's obligations to Russia by allowing the latter to be robbed of all the fruits of the victorious war through the cast- iron stipulations of the treaty of Berlin, worked out by the ingenious mind of Dis- racli. TO BE SURE, this was no time for rejoicing. I happened to be then in St. Petersburg, says the New York Times correspondent. It seemed, in- deed, to bea city of reluctant survivors of the dead. And yet, all at once there came up a mighty social sensation. V. Verestchagin, the greatest of Russia's living painters, put on ex- hibition his war pictures, portraying with a most terrible realism the reverse side of the **glorious war’’ just lived through by the Nation. Everybody rushed to the exhibition; groups of depressed people remained for long hours together standing motionless, bewildered, before Verestchagin’s pictures; some women in deep mourning had to be carried away ina dead faint. But noneof the numerous pict- ures produced such a widespread sen- sation as a group of three designated in the catalogue under a common heading ot Everything Quiet on Shipka.’’, All three represented the same soldier mounting guard at an advance post on Shipka; the first repre- sented the sentry erect, evidentiy impressed by a high sense of his dnty, his face IDEAL BROILING. bearing a rather stolid expression of Broiling can be done in the oven of the |7e#urion to stand by his post to ak Range or Stove with the Wire the last—amid the raging snowstorm; Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over | the second represented the same sentry—the the live coals. same resolution on the face of the man, pre- 141 — Taps non or 1 a vented by duty from moving from his place; n nh an the storm stili raging and the snow drifted up ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings. to the knees of the foreaken sentry; the third showed the broken-down figure of the solitary faithful sentry, frozen to death, half covered with snow, the storm abated and ‘‘Everything is quiet on bbipxa.’’ SOME OF THE GRAND DUKES Prince then, came to see Verestchagin’s pictures, and turned away horrified, dis- gusted, prociaiming Everything quiet on Shipka’’ the greatest slander on the men who wéré at the head ofthe army—the rank- est of Nihilism.’’ The obnoxious group was removed from the exposition, but : the mischief was done; the pub- 110 had seen the realism of VicNICHOLS !

Nowadays, goes the saying, ‘‘Kverything quiet in Russia,’’ and this is entirely correct in the sense of the ‘‘quiet’’ in Verestchagin’s pictures. Everything is so quiet in Russia r horrors in oom - with this quietness. ‘Russians are not 4 valled in the market since noon and 8-per-cent . — even the present Emperor. who was Crown Max „ot Lawrence M. and Ann Kavanaugh, afraid of war. And this ig also the feeling throughout the other great Nations of Europe, since it had been proved beyond any doubt that the present armed peace is more expensive than the most ruin- ous war, and cannot be borne any longer. France, Germany, Austria, Russia all wish war would break out, but none cares to begin it. France, with all her intense hate for Germany, knows that it is not to her advantage to assume the role of aggres- sor; Germany dares not bring things to a climax, fearing a disengaged power with unsettled scores like Russia at her back, and who knows but that there might bean alliance between that power and France, Austria knows that her very existence as a great nation depends upon her securing predominance among the Bal- kan nationalities at the expense of Russia's influence. Russia, on her side, knows—teols through every fibre of her unwieldly body— that to rwe up her predominance among tbe Balkan Slavs would mean to renounce for at least a generation all influence in the councils 7. Europe. 0 g ON THE LAST QUESTION there are no two opinions in Russia; all Parties are tinanimous in holding war ecessary; nay, more, desirable. Of course the great mass of this hundred million-strong nation does not aud cannot understand what is this necessity, since this time no Turkish infidels threaten any ‘‘brethren’’ ofacommon race and a common faith, Happily— if such a word be ad missible— Russia does not depend on money for going to war; otherwise she would be doomed to peace fora long time to come. There is no money and no prospect of any money for the Russian treasury, and none know it better than Russians themselves. A hopeless deficit has prevailed for several years and is always increasing. And while, a hun- dred years ago, Russia, with an income of from £4,000,000 to 20,000,000 rubies yearly, ac- quired large tracts of territory and held a predominant position in the councils of Europe, to-day with 800,000,000 income Rus- sia ia dared even by sucha wee State as Bul- garla, andthe rest of the world considers Russia almost too weak tofight. It the truth be told, the finances of Russia are in a desper- ati State. The chief portion of the late loans went to redeem the paper money, and yet the country is flooded with paper, and the value ofthe rubleis lower now than it was at the gloomiest period ot the last war with Turkey. People are quiet when they are faint from hunger. And such is the case in Russia. INNUMERABLE MILUS AND FACTORIES are closed, in others the pay of the workmen is reduced, the grain prepared for exportation remains yet unsold, the ports, acquired by such shedding of blood, and the railroads, built at such sacrifices, remain inactive. There is scarcely any freightto be moved, though of late there was marked activity on railroads haying their terminus at the largest cities. From St. Petersburg alone 30,000 work - ingmen have been exported of late at reduced rates to their country homes by orders of the Government. It would have been unsightly to nave 30,000 able-bodied men die from starvation in the streets of the capital, where they could not obtain work, do they could; so from sheer decency’s they had to be removed home, to door die, as best they might, amid their own starv- ing families. The banks are flooded with money, and reduce the rates of percentage on current accounts; yet ali people stand in need ot money, ahd cannot obtain money other- wise than at a ruinous rate of interest. All people—workmen, merchants, officers, as well as professional men—complain of lack of money, all strain their utmost forces in order to curtall theirexpenses, , AND THE SAME WAIL comes from the Government. Everywhere there goes on a general curtailment of ex- nses, and consequently nothing is being done, all the energies of the empire are con- centraged in this curtailing of expenses, even of th ost necessary, such as expenses on public education, the prison reform, eto. On the other hand, just as unabatedly are going furw the exertions to get out of the — — the last drop of blood. For one tax dropped as im- practical, halt a dozen new and indirect taxes are introduced; new supervisors, new col- lectors, new courts ap ted, new penalties invented; all this in order to cheat the people, to make them payin such a way as not to know where their money is goingto. A cer- tain sum is to be got out of the hundred mill- ions constituting the Russian Nation, and that is done by constant changes in the modes. What a promised land would Russia prove to American prohibitionists! No one deems it possible, Isuppose, yet such is the fact, that the absolute Government of Russia is intro- ducing among the peasants prohibition with a vengeance. Tbe tax on vodka—a mild kind of rye whisky—is so high that the peasant can- notafford to urin it but on such gala occasions as when a ‘‘bourgeois’’ allows himself a bot- tle of champagne; and of course, on such an occasion, the Kussian moujik deems toa sacred duty toget drunk. And sohe gets beastiy drunk four orfive timesa year, and oes without liquor all the rest of the year, though the most eminent Russian scientists and*physicians consider it quite necessary for a Russian underfed workman in this rigorous climate to drink his small lass of vodka once a day be- fore dinner. A8 to tobacco and even cigars, they are considered by the Govern- ment quite unnecessary luxuries for the poor people, and so they are entirely deprived of them; if this is nota paradise of prohibition such a paradise must, indeed, be unknown. There is a talk of imposing a tax on kerosene, called the ‘‘naphtha tax, so as to deprive the poorer people of cheap light; there is talk, to be sure, of an income tax, but, as yet, nothing but talk, and new and still more com- plicated systems of taxation are devised from day to day. 18 IT A WONDER, THEN that the great bulk of the Russian people, having nothing to lose by the change, await war with the utmost composure? Those peo- ple will fight, money or no money. More than that, they are prepared for more emerg- encies than the reguiar privations of war. Stealing is going on throughout the country at a terrible rate, since the darkest deeds can be done in a country where the press is powerless to expose rascality and bribery in high gquar- ters. Human nature is the same everywhere, and ‘‘boodlers’’ are not the exclusive pr r- of New York. They prosper better in Rus- sia, though; the people are mostly powerless against them. nus when war breaks out the Russians are confidently prepared to see again the contractors feed the soldiers on rotten biscuits, provide them with shoes on paste- board soles, sipply the hospitals with chalk or other worthless stuff instead of quinine,and Ot course, eace; they confidently time when—war over—the whole of Europe place . ical reforms; all les much-needed ra 4 gee aa Russia,’’ and peopie —— the time when, in the nearest fu - tr 20 any more to devise means to prevent the great conflict.

By Telegraph to the Post-Drsparcn. JEFFERSON Orrr, Mo., February 3.—The'sub- mission question claimed the attention of tie House this morning for fully two hours, and the passage of the submission resolutions was postponed only through the shrewdness of Jewett of Shelby County and Knapp of St. Louis in springing on the House the **special order of the day, at the very moment when the clerk had prepared to call the roll on its passage. Jewett pressed his ‘‘special order’’ point and the speaker ruled that the special order which, in this case, happened to be the 1857 bill, should be considered immediately to the exclusion of all other business. Three important ballots were taken however, before Jewett made his point of or- der, andthe submissionists have practically won the fight.. At aconference of prominent submissionists last night, held shortly after Milo Blair’s publicaddress on prohibition, it was decided to push the joint and concurrent submission resolution inthe House of Repre- sentatives this morning. This determination was doubtless HASTENED BY REPORTS that Leising of Gasconade and other anti- submissionists intended speaking to-day to the minority report of the Committee on Con- stitational Amendments recommending the passage of local option laws. The submissionists came to the conclusion that they would be as strong to-day as at any other time this session, and their friends were drummed up and noti- fied to be in their seats at an early hour this morning. Shortly after prayers Representa- tive Satterwhite of St. Francois County got the floor and called up the joint and -eoncurrent submission resolution. Under the rules of the House the privilege was grant- ed, and Mr. Satterwhite moved the adoption ofthe majority reportof the Committee on Constitutional Amendments, recommending the passage of the resolution. „believe, said he, that we have as full an attendance to-day as we are likely to have at any other time this session, and hope that the submission question will be taken up and disposed of.’’ REPRESENTATIVE LEISING was recognized by the Speaker and he made the point ot order that a motion to adopt the minority report of the committee took prec- edence of Mr. Satterwhite’s motion. The Speaker so ruled and Leising said, I move, sir, that the minority report of the com- mittee opposing submission and declaring in favor of local option be adopted. MR. PASCHALL OF sr. LOUIS seconded Leising’s motion and Speaker Alex- ander was about to put the question when Hinton of Bates got the floor. „1 move the postponement of the question for two weeks,’’ said he, and his remark was received with cat calls and yells of derision from the submissionists, and cheers from their opponents. When order had been restored the roll was calied, and Hin- ton’s motion to Pape tong was lost by a vote of 72 noes to ayes. Leising’s motion to adopt the minority report next came up and was defeated by a vote of 76 noes to 50 ayes. Satterwhite again t the floor, and, amid the cheers of the enthusiastic sub- missionists, called for a vote on his motign to adopt the majority report of the com. mittee in favor of submission. Asonthe two preceding ballots the submissionists were again victorious, and : ADOPTED THE MAJORITY REPORT by 77 votes in favor of, to 55 ainstit. The röll-call on the adoption of the majority re- port of the committee is a fair test of the strength ofthe submissionists.

Be it resolved by the House of Representa- tives, the Senate concurring therein, first, at the general election to be holden on the Tues- day next after the first Monday in November in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-eight the following amendment to the constitution o the State og Missouri shall be submitted to the qualified voters of the State of Missouri, to- wit: That article fourteen of the Constitution of the State of Missouri, be and the same is hereby amended by adding one new section thereto, which shall read as follows: Section 13.

He made a short, but foreible speech, in which he referred to the submissionists as following the blind lead and obeying the whip of a lot of fa- natics.’’ Bodine ot Randolph advocated the adoption ot Knapp’s amendment. In the course of his remarks several of the members called out to him in derisive tones. 5 O PAID FOR THE SLAVES?’’ Did the Government reimburse slave- holders? These slurs about siaveholders were made the keynote of the speech in which Satterwhite answered Bodine and Knapp. He claimed that the principle that the State should reimburse saloon-keepers and .brewers was not in accordance with the spirit of the State Constitution. All of the speeches were brief. There was apparently a disposition to cut everything short and arrive at a final vote upon the real is- sue. Knapp’s amendment having been seconded, a vote was about to be taken on it, with all of the prospects pointing to its de- feat, when Knapp got the floor and repeated Jewett’s point of order of an hour before that the ‘‘special order of the day’’ shoul be considered. ' Ine time for the special order has passed, said the speaker. ‘*‘Mr. Speaker,“ called Jewett of Shelby, jumping to his feet, ‘‘I called for the special order at exactly 10:30 o’clock, the hour set for it last Friday.’ ‘*The Chair does not remember,“ answered Speaker Alexander. The Speaker recognized me and I made my point of orderina proper and parliamentary manner, and Lask for the enforcement ot the rules, said Jewett. „Well, as the gentleman from Shelby County says that he called for the special order at the proper time, and the chair, in the confusion of the moment, overlooked him, I rule that the special order be taken up immediately, to the exclusion of all other business. The clerk will read the special order,’’ said the Speaker. ' THE SPECIAL ORDER. The ruling was all that saved the anti-sub- missionists,for had the submission resolution been put on its passage, it would certainly have carried by a good majority. On motion of Newell of Dade the submission resolution was made the special! order of the day for to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The engrossment of the bill 33882 the St. Louis Sunday law of 1857 n the special order was taken up and Mr. Vernon Knapp’s motion to lay the bill on the table was deteated by a vote of 89 noes to 39 ayes. A motion to order the bill to engrossment was made and carried without debate. After thesecond reading ofa number of bills and the transaction of other business of little importance the House took a recess until 2 o’elock this afternoon. WOODS’ LOCAL+OPTION BILL PASSED. The Senate this morning, by a vote of 27 ayes to 5 noes, passed Senator Woods’ 2 — bill. The debate on the measure occu- pied the entire forenoon. The result is received by the anti-submissionists as a artial victory over submission. Their claims in this direction cannot, however, he said to be well founded for the reason that a large number of submission Senators voted for the Woods’ bill, who will also vote for the submission resolution when it comes before them for passage. The Woods bill provides that the question of prohibition shall be submitted to a vote in any county’ of the State upon petition of one-tenth of its qualified voters, excepting in cities of 2,500 in- habitants or over, in which the question may. decided at a specia election that purpose, said elec- not to be held within sixty days of a general or State election. A vote shall onry be taken upon the question once in every four years. The penalty clause of the bill provides that each offense shail be pun- ished by a une of not less than $300 or more than $1,000. TURPIE TRIUMPHS. The Indiana Legislature Elects a Democra- tic United States Senator, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., February 2.—As the hour for holding the Joint Convention of the y Legislature approached to-day, the Capitol filled with interested people, all of whom seemed to think the dead-lock 7 1 certalnſy be roken. The Senate, at y Ia o’clock proceeded to Sthe hall of the House, ‘and the sixteenth ballot was begun. The roll-call Senator David Turpie. of the Senate developed nothing, and the call of the House proceeded without interruption until the name of Robinson was ‘reached, when thas gentieman rose and madea statement of the agreement entered into by himself, Messrs. Cates, Glover and Mackey to secure the elec- tion of Mr. Allen; he added that he was now convinced that it was hopeless to endeavor to elect as Senator any man not a member of one of the two great parties, and as his constitu- ents were urgent in their demands, he had de- cided to cast his ballot for David Turple. This announcement was greeted with enthasi- astic cheers from tbe Democrats. Messrs. Cates, Glover and Mackey, Republican Labor members, then made brief explanations and cast their ballots for Harrison—the vote stand- ing: Turpie, 76; Harrison, 74. In the Senate Turpie received 82 and Harrison 18; in the House, Turpie 4 and Harrison 56. Immediately on the termination of the call of the House roll Speaker Sayre announced that there was no election, and passed the figures to President Smith of the Senate, whose privilege itis, under the agreement, to an- nounce the total vote, and he at once called out that David Turpie had been elected Senator of the United States to serve six years from the 4th of March next. , President Smith was Speaker Sayre declared e out ot order * 1 — — 2 er’s remarks were un- above. under the compromise the ballot taken to- ony convention yp ema and cast for presentation to the United States Benet. r e 8

Riled by Randall. By Telegraph to the Post-DisratTcr. WasnrroTron, D. O., February 2.—The Com- mittee on Naval Affairs are very much in- censed at the action of Mr. Randall and other members of the Appropriation Committee. When the bill was passed in the last session providing for the construction of seven new mates for the Newark there were appropriated 1. 100 000. When the bids were opened it was ound the lowest for the construction of the Newark was $1,300,000. 8 there ia nothing being done an cannot be done until some legislation is enacted making the appropriation larger. When Con- gress convened in the present session Secre- tary Whitney addressed a letter to the Naval Aff Committee requesting that they urge upon the House immediate action increasing the appropriation so that he could oceed with advertising for the proposals and award the contracts. This the committee has attempted to do, and yesterday, for the third time, Mr. Norwood of the committee asked unanimous consent to introduce aresolution authorizing tho Secretary of the Navy to award the contract under bids received up to the amount named in the proposals made by the ship-builders, when © contracts were awarded for the other vessels last September. This is the only way the matter can reme- died at this seesion, and unless done now it will be at least a year before the Newark can be under course of construction. Mr. Randall again objected to the consideration of Mr. Norwood’s resolution, resulting in the committee being unable to accomplish any- —1 2 tor so long as objection is made there can be nothing done. The Tarif? Reformers. WASHINGTON, February 2.—An inquiry from the friends of Mr. Randall as to whether they could eount on their support of the tariff and revenue bill by the Morrison Democrats was discussed at some length at a conference of the last named faction neld lastnight. It was finally decided that an answer should be made to the effect that the tari reform Democrats were 80 anxious to redeem their pledges to the people, made at he Chiesgo Convention, that they would support any measure looking to the re- form ofthe tarif® laws, which seemed to be reasonable in its terms. It was deemed ad- — to make the reply more specific at this me. The Senate Committee on Agriculture further considered to-day the proposed amendments to the pleuro-pneumonia bill, but did not reach the point of action. Anticipating a Smal Surplus. WASHINGTON, D.

Heavy Thunder and Rain This Morning— Phenomena Noted—More Cold Weather. This morning early the Signal Service Ob- server was uwakened by a decided crash. At first he thought nothing of it as since the Giover investigation of Lancaster something bas been expected to drop around the Oustom-house almostany day. The noise continuing steadily, the signal man finally came toarealization that it was a genuine thunder storm in midwinter, with the mer- cury below freezing. According to the data of this official watcher of the storm 8 progress it appears that the thunder began at 4:40 this morning,and continued without rain until 4:50, when the loudest clap was heard. This was followed a minute later by a dash of rain that 11 into a downpour which lasted des ul ly until about 8 O'elock, the total precipitation being about 23,100 of an inch. Despite the cold, the mercury then standing several degrees below the freezing mark, the rain came down as water, not freez- ing until itetruck the 1 The thunder ceased entirely about 620. One singular thing about the rain was the total absence of any air currents, a perfect calm existing at the begin- ning of the rain. Another pecul- lar feature about this phenomenal atmospheric commotion is the fact that the lightning appeared long before the thunder first sounded, and that no streaks were seen, the only indications of the flash being an illumination of the low- lying black clouds. The Observer aiso noticed that the illumina- tion was strong enough to make the sleet on the ground decidedly phosphorescent. That the lightning was the genuine summer article was shown in the West End, where the chimney of Charles Sehmidt’s place, at Grand and St. Louis ave- nues, was struck by the current and a dog was killed inside the house. TO BE COLDER. The ice that was formed by the freezing of the rain melted somewhat durin the day and by 3 p. m. the streets and side- walks were getting sloppy. But this is not likely to last long, as the Signal Service Dulletins this morning show that it bas grown still colder in the Northwest, Fort Assinaboine reporting at 6 a. m. the remarkable temperature of 46 below, Helena, Mont., 36 below, and Fort Custer 30 below. As the barometer is very high in the Northwest and low in the Southwest, another cold wave may be looked for, although the Signal Service bas not yet ordered up the black flag. Mixed Weather. Cuicaco, Ill., February 2.—The Signal Service reports extremely cold weather in Northwestern Montana, the mercury at Fort Assinaboine registerine 46 degrees below zero at 7 o’clock this morning. Throughout Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin it is considerably warmer, Northern Minnesota points reporting severe weather, while at St. Paul itis 3 deg. above zero, LaCrosse, Wis., II deg. above, and Chicago 20 degrees above. Itis snowing throughout the Northwest and nearly all the States north of the Ohio River; heavy thunder storms are reported at Knoxville, Tenn., Louisville and Cincinnatti, and the telegraph service throughout the Southwest is very much impaired in consequence. CINCINNATI, O., February 2.—A most unusual thunder and rain storm has been in progress here since 5 a.m. and at 10 the rain is still falling heavily. There was some rain during the night which formed a coating of ice on the ground.

WARDEN MABMADUKE’S CASE. The Writ of Habeas Corpus to Be Argued on the 14th Inst. By Telegraph to the PosT-DtsP Aren. Jurrensonw City, Mo., February 2.—In the of Public Im- | Supreme Court this morning the writ of ha- vements did not go to beas corpus obtained by Attorney-General THE CENTRAL MISSOURL DETAILS OF THE PURCHASE OF THE SHORT LINE FRANCHISE. How the New Enterprise Will Affect St. Louis—Plans of the Company—The Back- ing of the Project—Live Steck Associa- tion Meeting—Death of Royal D. Jen- nings—The Merchants’ Bridge—Bailroad News. The deal between the Central Missouri and he Kansas City Short Line, a full account of the ratification of which was given in the POST- DISPATCH yesterday, can hardly be called a consolidation, but is rather a séll-out of the Short Line people to the Central Missouri of the part of this franchise which would be of vaiue to the latter with a certain amount of stock and certain agreements as consideration. The only part of the franchise of the Short Line of any value to the Central Missouri and acquired by it is that part of the road including the franchise for a bridge over the Missouri River at or near Howell's Ferry, which lies between the crossing points of the two roads in St. Charles County and the city of St. Louis. For this franchise the Central Missouri gives $50,000 of preferred stock, and $50,000 of common stock, and the Short Line on the other hand promisesto furnish 85 per cent of the ight of way, and 32, 000 r mile of the cost of construction. n the transfer contractit is agreed by the Central Missouri to run the road through Fal- ton, Columbia, and either through Fayette or to construct a branch road to Fayette. Under the new order of things there ie much preliminary work to do before the construc- tion of the road can be commenced. The new board of directors must meet and adopt plans for pushing the project to completion. The old company had decided upon issuing $2,500,000 of preferred stock and $8,500,000 of common stock, making $11,000,000 of stock in all; but this may be modified, the amount of common stock being increased to $10,000,000. The amount of bonds to be issued may also be changed. These and other details will have to be settled by the new Board. The attitude of the new road is of first im- portance to St. Louis and in a chat on this subject with a Post- DISPATCH reporter a gen- tleman who is closely identified with the en- terprise said that the road, while it was formed to avoid the expenses and obstruc- tions incident to running through this city and in order to get out of the grasp of Gould would take through business around by Alton, but it would not work against St. Louis and would be as thoroughly a St. Louis road as any other. The object of going around the city by Al- ton,’’ said he, ‘‘is plainto any one. e thus get rid of the burden laid on commerce here by the bridge, by switch and transfer charges and other expenses incident to running through the city. Yet we can transact all the 8t. Louis business just as is now done in East St. Louis, which from a commercial a is just as much St. Louis as the city itself. The grade of the road over 200 miles between Alton and Kansas City will amount practically toa dead level, and for the remaining 100 miles will not exceed 365 feet to the mile. This means that this road can handle with the same loco- motive force vastly more freight than any other read in the State. The live stock mostiy goes to East St. Louis where the stockyards are, the grain is worth much more in East St. Louis and the facilities for hauling it by river or rail are just as good as in St. Louis. The business ean be done right in St. Louis and the freight handled in East St. uis and in Alton. „Will there be any difficulty in securing the capital to build the road?’’ None in the world. It has been secured already; that is, all arrangements are perféct- ed for securing it. The statementin the Post- DISPATCH thatthe Vanderbilt interests were back ofthe enterprise is correct. Judge Burke who is on the directory, is resident of the Bee Line, Mr. Hollins is Vice- President ot the L. E. 4 W. and the Vanderbilt broker in New York, but no matter how the board may be made up the project has the backing of the entire Vanderbilt interests just as fully as if the bonds were endorsed. Not oniy this e papers have been signed by other lines Thunder and Rain Storm. N want the road built so ae to free them- selves from the grasp of Gould in this eity on their through business. There is plenty of capital to insure the speedy completion from Alton to Kansas City.’ ‘*Will the road into St. Louis be built? *‘*Ultimately, yes. The other road will be built fret, but there is a provision in the agreement which states that as soon as prac- ticable the line from St. Charlies to St. uis shall be constructed. Just how this will be done; whether it will run over other tracks or be independent will depend on circumstances. The road cannot afford to miss St. Louis and must have ah entrance to the business centers and connection with terminal and transfer tracks. This branch may be counted upon as a certainty but the details must first be settied upon. The Alton line is the first.’’ „How does the company view the mer- chant’s bridge?’’ „We are favorable to it and always haye been so. It is not so much a necessity with the Alton bridge as it would be without, but it is — desirable as the west road must connect with the line east of St. Louis in some way. This road with several others favor the bridge. Construction cannot well be commenced this month but it is promised that it will begin just as soon as preliminaries can be settled and the weather will permit. The Merchanst’ Bridge. Ata meeting of the directors of the Mer- chant’s Bridge Company held a few days ago it was determined to call a joint meeting of the directors of the company and the directors of the Merchants’ Exchange. Owing to the absence of several bridge direc- tors the conference was 8 fom day to day and wili probably be held to-mor- row.

More Evidence Presented in the School Board Election Contest. The committee of the School Board having in charge the Bosley-Conroy contest took evi- dence last night. The irregularities exposed in the Post- DISPATCH were brought out in the examinations of witnesses. Fred Sproul, proprietor of the Garfield House, Thirteenth and Market streets, said he voted for Conroy. His ballot was number $21 by the judges. Three ballots were found in the ballot-box bearing that number. W. F. Schroeder, 1412 Spruce street, who was marked voted onthe poll-book, testified he did not vote at all. Baltman Taylor, 1511 Clark avenue, was marked voted and his ballot numbered 140. Two ballots of that number were found in the box, one for Bosley and one for Conroy. He testified he voted for Conroy. There was another ballot in the box bearing the number 140, credited to Charles L. Oarraway, 1406 Chestnut street. He testified at a previous meeting that he did not vote. Geo. Emmett, 1413 Poplar street, a police officer whose ballot, 115, was found duplicated in the box, testified he voted for Conroy. James Carter, 109 South Fourteenth street, a metnber of the Fire Department, testified he yoted for Conroy. His ballot, No. 136, was found duplicated in tne box. . L. J. Hohl, 1200 Chestnut street, testified that G. P. G. Cowan and Fred Scholl had not lived at 1200 Chestnut street since 168. Two Bosley ballots were found in the box tor Cowan and one Bosley ballot for Scholl. Ed E. Nieden, 22 Moore street, testified he did not vote at all. Two ballots numbered 21, the number opposite bis nameon the poll- book, were found in the box for Bosley. Samuel Crossman testified he acted as judge of election at District No. 1, where all these ir- regularities occurred. He could not explain how eighty-six duplicate ballots were found in the box, nor could he explain the ab- sence of ten ballots or persons marked voted on the ~»poll-book. He said he took the ballot boxto his room after the polis closed, kept it there all night and re- turned it to the office of the School Board next morning. He said the lock on the box was not sealed, and that the key was in his possession. There was nothing tu prevent him from open- ing the box if he felt so disposed He stated that at the time of the election he was in the employ of Siegel & Co., and that Mr. Bosley was in the employ of the same firm. M. F. Healey and E. J. O’Brien, attorneys for Conroy after other unimportant witnesses were heard, made a formal demand on the committee for the names of ali parties marked voted in Districts land 2 of the Seventeenth Ward. Thus far the committee have not al- lowedthem the privilege of examining the poll-books. The committee went into execu- tive session on the detnand and adjourned after an excited discussion of haif an hour to meet next Monday evening. EASTERN ‘‘BOODLERS,” Who Ply Their Trade in An Open and Notorious Manner. A short time ago the Uhief of Police received a letter from a business man of Beaumont, Kan., inclosing a circular from a man in New York, offering to sell him a lot of excellent counterfeit money very cheap. It was the old ‘‘sawdust boodle racket,’’ and the police so informed the merchant, but he thought they were mistaken and that he had given them a clew whereby a big gang of counterfeiters might be unearthed. This morning another letter was feceived from the Kansas merchant. It stated that he had again written those parties and had received a second Circular and a newspaper clipping which he enclosed. The circular spoke o the good quality of the money offered for sale and described the money, the description tallying with a description given in the clip- ping of bills being struck off from plates stolen from the Treasury Department. The clipping is bogus, being matter the ‘‘boodle’’ dealers have printed expressly for the pur- pose, so as to make their alleged fraudulent money appear more vaiuable. An envelope inclosed in the letter in which the merchant is to mail his reply reads: ‘‘Mr. D. King, care of Mr. Volle, 1612 Third avenue, New York City.’’ These ciroulars are sent to country merchants all over the United States, the scheme being to get them on to New York, count out $10,000 or $20,000, or whatever the amount may be, in good money to the victim lace it in a bag and while his attention is at- racted by some means to something else, change the bag on him, giving him oné con- taining sawdust. As the merchant went to engage in a crooked transaction he cannot well complain to the police of the fraud. Evi- dently the parties in New York ‘‘stand in’’ with some of the authorities there, as they work the game boldly and could be very easily arrested and convicted if there was any desire to punish them. ai BOODLER O’NEIL.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, February 2.—The determed action of the British Government in dispensing with the services of the Cunard and White Star Companies, unless these would consent to terms having no savor of monopoly about them, has now produced its fruits in the alacrity with which the chief companies have co-operated with the post-office department in devising the two services. In future the White Star Line willtake the mails Wednesdays, the Cunard on Saturdays, the North German Lloyd on Thursdays and the Inman for those who wish, on Tuesdays. Thusthe mail for New York will leave on four days each week and the advantages of the Queenstown and Southamp- ton routes equally secured.

The market was listless with offers at $2 and no inquiry. The „deal“ was not well worked aad while the originators of it lost some money, noone made very much. Yesterday bets were offered that it would sell at $2.5). To-day Brentano offered to bet $100 that it would sell at 50 cents.

Tue Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee of the Democratic State Central Committee did not out a brilliant figure yesterday in appearing before the Legis- lative Committee to opposethe railroad legislatio®demanded by the Democratic platform. _— ee | — eS le THE Legislative Committee of the School Board are opposed to the Drabelle bill, which changes the composition of the Board. It was not to be expected that a body composed of ward directors would approve of a measure which abolishes ward directora, but the bill is a good bill. a “JAY Goutp in a recent interview says: It would make the President very popular with some classes if he should ‘‘send out a ringing message in objection to the Interstate Commerce bill.” Yes, it would make him as popular with the classes as he would be unpopular with the masses. _—— * —, EDITOR WATTERSON remarks with ghoul- ish glee that Secretary Bayarp bas lived most of his life in a peachblow vase three thousand miles beyond the moon.” Perhaps that is where Mr. Bran has left the correspondence between him and Minister Jackson, which a Senate Com- mittee is asking for in vain. SUBSTANTIAL progress was made in New York yesterday in the enforcement of justice and in the intimidation of crim- mals when a jury brought in a verdict of “guilty” in the case of Boodler O NI. Something of the same kind is badly needed in St. Louis, where as yet the crimes of the political bosses are unpun- ished. Tae Arabs have done up““ the allied Italian and Abyssinian forces in the Sou- dan, and now the Italian Government has something like a Gordon case on its hands. North pole expeditions are hardly more fruitless and disastrous than Chris- tian military expeditions against the fierce and fanatical Mohammedans of the Soudan. Tun legislator who supports the at- tempt to set up a State printing office in the Penitentiary will not look as pretty as he does now after the Trades’-Unions get fully competent to make things lively for the statesman who proposes to introduce convict competition as an element of gov- ernment by the people. HOME BULE AND SUNDAY LAWS. The law of 1857 permitting the voters of St. Louis to decide for themselves certain questions of Sunday observance was en- acted by a Democratic Legislature ata time when Democratic sentiment was de- cidedly favorable to home rule. Hasany- thing occurred in the subsequent history of the country which ought to reverse Democratic opinion on that subject? Has it not rather been confirmed and strength- ened by the whole subsequent experience of the country, and especially with refer- ence to the government of cities? Look at the long line of honest Demo- cratic Mayors elected by the people of New York City. and at the municipal prof- ligacy and corruption produced by mu- nicipal machinery imposed on the people of that city and placed above their control by the Legislature at Albany. To such undemocratic and unrepublican substitu- tion of outside trol for local self-gov- ernment, Mayor HEwIiTT ascribes all the scandal and waste and corruption which his city has had to endure because her people were deprived of self-government and the meansof self-protection. In Bos- ton also the contrast between such Mayors as O’BRIEN and such rule as the State Legislature imposes on the city is fast making her people a unit for municipal home rule. 1 And while some good citizens are peti- tioning the Legislature to deprive St. Louis ofthe choice the law of 1857 gave her, and to subject her crowded half million of people to the same old Sunday laws that were made for little villages hundreds of years ago by men who knew nothing about city life, the people and city Government of Boston are begging for the same privi- lege which the law of 1857 accorded to us, or for such a modification of the Sunday ‘‘laws as is rendered necessary by „the present social condition of the “community.” They show how totally the social conditions in Boston differ from those for which the present Sunday law was made in old colony times two hundred years ago, and while asking for no tolera- tion of Sunday work they do ask that cities and towns be permitted to author- ize deviations from the old Sunday law within certain limits, so that each oom- munity may set up its own moral stand- ards and be governed according to its own local necessities. Se —ñ — — RAILROAD BULLDOZERS. We doubt if the annals of legislation in this country have ever presented a more remarkable spectacle than has been pre- sented at Jefferson City during the pres- ent week. Twelve years ago the people of Missouri adopted aConstitution as the supreme law of the State and entrusted the fulfillment of its mandates to the General Assembly. For twelve years the railroad provisions of that Constitution haye been neglected. Influences which we need hardly dwell on at present prevailed to thwart the inten- tion of the people, and to make important and vital provisions of their Constitution a dead letter. Its mandates have been ig- nored with contempt. Now, at last, when public sentiment goads a reluctant Legislature to its duty, when the unpleasant conviction is finally forced upon the unwilling minds of Legislators that the language of the Constitution is imperative, and the voice of the people demands its enforcement, we find the railroad lobby gathered at Jefferson City, domineering over the Legislative com- mittees, reading the riot act to them, teaching them what they shall do and what they shall not do, and loading re- proach and insult on the people who have dared to ask for legislation in restraint of railroad authority. If anything were needed to spur the Legislature to its duty it would be the ex- hibition of corporation insolence given at Jefferson City by the railroad boss of the State. It is hard to imagine any Legislator returning to his constituents after this without having made a record in support of the Constitution. SENATOR REAGAN, True Democracy was illustrated yester- day in Texas by the election of RRAdAN to the Senate. Senator ReaGAn is not as rich a man as STANFORD, or HEARST, or JONES, or Fam, or FARWELL. He does not even rank with the less obtrusive plutocrats of the type of SHERMAN, and THLLER, and STOCKBRIDGE, and S4Bin. He is not connected by mar- riage with any great monopoly, as is the dase with PaYNE, and CamMpEN, and Brown, nor does he represent any such organized bossism as sent MaTTHEW QUAY to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate. Mr. ReaGan is a plain, honest citizen who, ever since he entered Congress, has been identified with legislation in the in- terests of the people, and whose name is now indissolubly linked with the Inter- state Commerce bill. The terms of that bill are his credentials. Its success will be his enduring monument. The people of the United States will re- joice to see him in the Senate as an evi- dence that they have some representation and influence left in a body which is grad - ually falling under the control of million- aires and monopolists. ’ * Jar Goutp retired TnUg Max in Ohio, where the Republican party was on top and the Standard Oil Company had a strong grip on the Democracy. The allied railroad kings had both party machines under their thumbs in Nebraska, and of through with him, but he will know a | bean more.

But down on the broad and breezy prairies of Texas GovuLD and Huntiyaron and the cattle barons and land monopoly syndicates did not even dare to name a candidate against REAGAN. They could not even keep him from taking the Senatorship away from their equally firm but less ag- gressive opponent, Senator MaxEY. The strong-rooted Democracy of Texas is not organized, led and controlled by railroad attorneys. _— — —_ — Tokrisx is the party name for the iner- tia of British thought. As the successor of DISRAEILI. Lord RanpOoLPH CHURCHILL is trying to lead or drive the famished Tory Ass forward to fresher pastures. It is the animal’s nature to lag behind the procession, to occupy abandoned camp- ing-grounds and live on the leavings of the advance guard in politics. By infus- ing some of the democracy of the masses into the Toryism of the.classes, Lord Ran- DOLPH is trying to bring his gouty old party to the front on rejuvenated legs with fresh popular blood in them, instead of on a crutch which may be stolen from it any moment. | _— a _ | He Was One. From the Wall Street News. It was up near Jefferson City, Mo. A tall, ragged and anxious looking man, having some clothes tied up in a handkerchief, was hurry- ing along in the middle of the highway, when a farmer called to him over the fence: Hey! Has there been another earthquake in Charleston?’’ „Like enough, replied the traveler, with- out even turning his head—‘‘but the one which hit me occurred in St. Louis. He had been a holder of fancy mining stocks. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcaH. NEw Tonk, February 2.—The WORLD says: »The Blaine men in Massachusetts and in Boston have captured and now control the organization of both the State, Ward and City Committees. With these machines in their hands, the election of a Blaine delegation from the Bay State to the National convention is re- garded as notimprobable. The Mugwumps of Massachusetts can sit on the box and drive this Administration as they claim. But their driving cannot be very impressive at home if the opposition coach is to be boldly turned over to Blaine—a name with which the politi- cal grannies ofthat State have been wont to frighten their childreh into obedience. ’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘President Adams asked Judge Dillon to advise him whether the inter- state commerce bill would forbid him to grant free passes to passengers on the Union Pacific and Judge Dillon has replied that in his opin- ion ‘railroad companies which are subject to the provisions of the act are prohibited from issuing complimentary passes for any species of free travel not disconnected with interstate communication or commerce.’ This will be very satisfactory to Mr. Adams. He testified before a Congressional committee that a law prohibiting free passes would relieve railroad companies of ‘one of the reatest annoyances and abuses that now ex- sts in connection with the railroad business. Free transportation on the Union Pacific,’ he said, ‘amounted to more than $700,000 a year,’ and he had been foiled in nearly every attem to cut it down. ‘In my opinion,’ he added, per cent more has to be charged to those who do pay fares to make up for those whodo not.’ He promised to reduce fares on his road if Congress would put an end to the issuing of passes.’ : THE SUN. The Sun says: The friends ot Ireland may hear without any discouragement that Mr. Parnell’s amendment to the address has been rejected.. In another contest, turning on the naked issue of home rule, the Tory Ministers are certain to be successful in the present House of Commons. They can no more be turned out by directly raising that question than Mr. Gladstone could be driven powes in 1884 by denunciation of his disast oudan policy. But just as a section d Mr. Gladstone's followers found, in May, 1885, an excuse for deserting him in an objectionable item of the Childer’s Budget, so Churchill’s followers can easily hit upon some pretext in the details of Mr. Goschen’s estimates for at- testing their aversion to a man whom they re- gard as an intruder. 4 of whose inability to strengthen the Cabinet in popular opinion, they have just had such mortifying proof at Liverpool. THE TRIBUNE, The Tribune says: ‘‘The management of the fishery controversy on the part of the Admin- istration has been one of the most discredita- ble episodes in our diplomatic annals. The Government has shown a lack of nerve, tact and intelligence from the start. Secretary Bayard is not making efforts to defeat the re- taliation bill in the House. he has delayed action in the House Committee and antagonizing the measure by an im- practicable one prepared in the State Depart- ment. This is evidently with the purpose of defeating any legislation on the subject and would be a fitting sequei to his bungling man- agement of the question heretofore.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. 2 A Poem Wanted.

New York, February 2.—The only work done yesterday on the Brooklyn water front was by the green hands, who were put in the places of the strikers. At Dow’s stores eight young men, clad in lawn tennis shirts and tight trousers, who were said to have come from the Young Men’s Christian Association, were set at work unloading railroad iron from the steamer Lake Winnipeg. One of them wore kid gloves until they were 80 tattered that they would not stay on his hands. Another iaid aside a fur · lined overcoat and a silver-hegded cane to work. It was only a short.time before he was disabled by a piece of iron failing upon him, hurting his left foot. A SUNDAY-LIKE APPEARANCE. The streets along the river front in this city this morning presented a Sunday-like appear- ance. Instead of the daily rush of vehicies of all kinds in every direction there were only a few trucks, and the horse cars to be seen here and there. The majority of the big railroad freight receiving and delivery piers were closed and work was almost suspended. The exception was in the case of pier the Penn- sylvania—where a dozen men were put to work by Agent Bowman. The men seemed lost amid the huge piles of freight. The one pair of gates that were open on the dock were guarded by Piers 1 and 16 of the same road were also closed, and at pier 2, the Lehigh Valley Road, the gates were closed. At the New York Central & Hudson River pler the agent said he was receiving all the freight offered. There had been notrouble with the men. The New York, Lake Erie & Western Road pier had afew men at work, but atthe office it was stated that they were taking and delivering. ALL THE FREIGHT OFFERED. On the Star Line pier, where the freight of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western is han- died, there were as many police on duty as there were Italians handling freight. The Superintendent said he had all the men he needed. There was plenty of help on the Bos- ton & Providence pier, but their boats were not running and the freight was light. The Stonington Line had men at work. The boat Nashua up, but no work was ong done on her. The dock of the New York Central rail - road was almost deserted. The men at work were part of a gang of Italians brought down the river yesterday. The Metropolitan Line was moving freight, but there was very little to handle, The Arizona, ofthe Guion line ar- rived to-day, and men will be put to work to unload her. The Wyoming, the agent said, would sail to-day. The Eldorado of the Mor- gee Line, arrived last night. As soon as the Paso and New York are unloaded the El- dorado will be brought to her dock. Depot Freight-Handlers Go Out. JERSEY City, N.J., February 2.—The freight- handlers employed in the depots of the Penn- syivania Railroadin this city struck at noon to-day—about two hundred and fifty men at the freight station at the foot of Warren street and about three hundred em- loyed in the yards at Harsimus ve. The men marched out in a body but made no demonstration. The striking treight-handlers at the Erie depot remain out, All business is ata stand-still at the freight- stations. There are no indications of trouble in the freight depots of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western, or the New Jersey Central Railroad. At the request of the Erie and Pennsylvania Companies, City Clerk Scott swore im 100 special officeragto protect the yards. ASSAULTED BY STRIKERS. A large crowd of striking longshoremen laid in walt about 5 o’clock this ae on Hudson street, Hoboken, to nter- cept the new men employed on the Thingvalla Steamship Company’s dock while going to their work. The strikers were concealed behind two buildings. About 6 o’ clock the new men came along, and when they reached the point where the strikers were concealed, the latter, armed with clubs and bricks, set upon them and gave them an un- merciful beating. There were about fifty of the ‘‘scabs’’ mostly Danes and Germans, and they led in every direction. Of the fifty, only twentv- eight reached the docks.

A Special Venire Asked for in Judge Treat’s Court To-Day. The Federal Grand - jury and its legal advisers are setting a lively pace for the election offend- ers. Marshal Cousins assigned almost his entire force to the service of the Grand-jury, which is exclusively devoting its inquiries to the election frauds. This morn- ing when Judge Treat ascended the bench of the United States District Court, District-Attorney Bashaw appeared, and ad- dressing the Court said: ‘‘If your Honor lease, I desire to ask for a special jury to try hese cases growing out of the present in- vestigation.’’ Juage Treat: For when? Special Counsel Dyer: About the first Mon- day in March or the last Monday in this month. I will take your application Judge Treat: and examine It. Mr. Dyer: I desire to state the necessity in my judgment, which appeals to the District Attorney and the special counsel, as well as it will to the Court in this matter.

The Imperial Government has issued an order stating that when officers of the Im. perial forces are serving the colonies, they must look to the latter for pay. The emoluments of such officers now employed in colonial service will therefore be cancelled. ‘This, it is claimed, will have the effect of dis- couraging English officers from entering the service of the colonies, forthe simple reason — — atm secure better remuneration at THE STARVING CREES.

THE FOTHERINGHAM CASE, It Goes Over To-Day Until the March} Term of Court, As was predicted in this paper yesterday, the Fotheringham case was again continued in the Orimmal Court this morning. When it was called up Gov. Johnson, one of the de- fendant’s attorneys, stated that Mr. Robin- son, the stenographer who took the deposi- tions of Wittrock and Haight did not yet have them more than half completed. Mr. Robin- son was now in the court-room. He had been troubled with an affection of the eye, and his oculist, Dr. Green, had informed him that it would be very dangerous to attempt to work constantly with his eye in its present inflamed condition, although he might work for a while every day. The Court stated that Mr. Robinson had called on him and informed him ot his unfort- unate condition. The Court was ready to go on with the trial if the attorneys were. Gov. Johnson said it would be assuming an undue responsibility to Fo to — trial without the testimony of those wit- nesses. They had taken the process of Court to get the witnesses here and the pro- cess was now under way and would probably be presented to the Supreme Court to-day. The depositions would be Unished within the next two davs, but tna ag nme had to be resent at Wyandotte „Monday, also Mr. oDonald and himself. ! Mr. Clover said that the State was ready for trial now, but that their witnesses were near- ly all non-residents and had to be kept here at great expense. If the case went over at all it would have to go over for the term. The defendant was out on bond and it would only involve a delay of three weeks as it could be laced on the docket the first day ofthe March — The case could go over by consent to at time. Gov. Johnson did not want to be placed in the position of asking a continuance when the only reason for his having to do so was the delay of the process of court. He thought the case should go over by order of Court. The Court thought it might be placed on the that it went over dy consent to await Supreme Court on the pro- this court.

THR **NOVA STELLA’’ OF TYCHO BRAHE. In 1546, at Knudsthorpe, in Denmark, near the Baltic, was born Tycho Brahe, of an an- clentand noble family, who was destined to become renowned among astronomers, and of whom the great Kepler was a pupil. A strong inclination toward science and close study lea him to many astronomical dis- coveries, and at length, attracting the atten- tion of the King, Frederick II. „the latter gave him the Island of Hoene, in the Sound established upon it the Soe of Uraniberg (City ofthe Heavens), fittea it dy with an observa- tory, and place cho Brahe in charge withafatsalary. The King died in 1888, ‘and the unfortunate astronomer was forced to submit to privations and persecutions, so that a Analy retired to Prague, where he died in It was in 1572 that Ame Brahe, who had enonajourney to Augsburg, was on his return to his home in Denmark.

November is Advent, and is also known as the Month of the M and the lith of that month, the day on which the star was discovered, is St. Martin's Day, or Mar- tinmas. But the day is also sacred to Bacchus, the Indian Brahma, whose symbol was aswan, as St. Martin's is a goose, the connection with the fablea pheenix being thus as close as is customary in myths. CASSIOPEL. Of course the fact that The Star of Beth- lehem’’ appeared in Cassiopeia in 1572 is no evidence that it will appear in that constella- tion in 1887, even if itappears at all, whioh is at least problematical. Though, as to this, there is no doubt tbat astronomers are and for some time have been on the lookout for it to — The change of position of a constel- lation as large as Cassiopeia would not be sufficient, however, in three hundred years to cause very much variation. ; The constellation of Cassiopeia is on the op- posite side ofthe Pole star from the Dipper, and a line extended from the two stars in the bowl of the Dipper known as the polnters, through and beyond the Pole star, encounters itand nearly pierces the place in the constel- lation which is waiting for the star of 1572. Cassiopeia resembies the letter W, or an in- verted chair, and is one of the finest northern constellations. It contains five principal stars. The fabie of this consteliation is as follows: Cassiopeia was the wife Cepheus and mother to Andromeda (both the names of adjacent constellations). She brought upon herself the vengeance of the Nereides by boasting of hersuperior beauty, and Neptune, at the request of these jealous nymphs, sent a huge sea monster against ber. © wrath of the sea king was only to de ap- peased by thee ure of Andromeda to the of the monster, but just as she was about to devoured Perseus (another constella- tion) arrived and devo her. After her death Oassiopeia was metamorphosed into a constellation, being represented as seated in an antique chair, drawing her robe over her shoulders with ber righthand and raising a palm branch to her head with her left. TEMPOR/ BY STARS. In deference to those whose practical minds will decline to accept either the theory of periodicity asascribed to Tycho Brahe’s star, orthe various myths dependent upon that theory, it is fair to offer the alternative of tem- — stars. Fortunately, as to these there ave en numerous instances, varying be- tween sudden appearance and gradual disap- rearance—and those more startiing phenom- ena in which some hitherto placid orb becomes apparently the victim of a vast conflagration, and burns out before our very eyes (or tele - scopes) even like unto that very same fabled Pbha@nix—barring the observation. | wy f in his Natural History. makes men- tion ofa new star that appeared in e heav- ens about 125 B.

In 1604 there reappeared in the constellation Ophiucbus a new star ofthe first magnitude, which shone so brightly as to obscure the yesh ofeven Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, all of which planets were near itat the time. This star faded out gradually, making its final disappearance in March,: 1606. In 1670 the astronomer Anthelon discovered a star of third magnitudeinthe constellation of the Swan. At the end of two months it decreased to the fifth magnitude and woe bd alterward vanished. This star was carefully observed by the astronomer Dominic Cassini. On April „ 1848, Mr. Hind, the English astronomer, discovered a new star of the fifth magnitude in the constellation Ophiuchus, which continued to diminish in brightness until it disappeared. One of the most extraordinary appearances of these stars On record occurred on May 12, 1866, when a telescopic star in Corona Borealis suddenly increased to. the second woe The phenomenon was reported simultaneously by a number of astronomers in Europe and America, and at- tracted universal scientific attention. It de- creased, untilon the 2ist it had reached a point when it was again only telescopic, and finally remained a star of the ninth magnitude, os previously described in Argelander’s cata- ogue. November 24, 1876, a star of the third magnitude was discovered by a Greek astron- omer in the constellation of the Swan. It de- creased rapidly and eventually took on a nebulous form, having been apparently burned into gas. The latest of these appearances, and which will doubtless be remembered by all the read - ers of the Herald, occurred inthe summer of 1885 in the constellation of Andromeda, new star appeared in the nebula of that con- stellation, and during August and September —＋ 832 “A in size — it had become a seventh magnitude. From that pe- rioa it graduall decreased until, when noted, it was of thetwelfth magnitude.

Majesty’s Continental Journey—Prince Henry of Battenberg in Disgrace—Ridic-. ulous Rumors About Prince er— Fischbein’s Goethe—Costly ar Ships— Soft Berths for Royalty. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lowpoy, February 2.—{Copyright, 1887.]-- It has been decided that the public celebra- tion of the Queen’s jubilee is to be held on Jane, the day fixed for thanksiving service in West- minster Abbey, which her Majesty will attend. The arrangements are to be discussed at an early meeting of the Privy Council, and all details will be settled subse- quently by a com- mittee. I hear Henry Labouchere. that it is proposed to have a great display of fireworks in Hyde Park on that night, and itis hoped that the Queen will consent to drive in full state from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey, going by one route and returning by another. THE QUEEN’S CONTINENTAL JOURNEY. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert is under orders to be fit for service by the last week in March, so that she may be ready to convey the Queen to the Continent on Monday, the 4th of April. The yacht ig about to under- go an overhauling at Portsmouth and Osborne, having been considerably knocked about and damaged during her recent trip to the Mediterranean, and is to be thor- oughly refitted. The Queen is to cross from Portamouth to Cherbourg on her outward journey, andif she returns home direct she will follow the same route. But in all proba- bility she will visit Darmstadt on the way back, as she did in the spring of 1885, and will cross in returning from Flushing to Port Vic- toria. Mr. Kanne, the director of the Queen’s continental journeys, is now engaged in mak- ing all the necessary arrangements, which have to be settled weeks in advance, and Mr. Vernet, her Majesty’s architect, has just re- turned from inspecting the villa which she is to occupy, the sanitary arrangements of which are to be carefully overhauled. PRINCE HENRY IN DISGRACE. Prince Henry of Battenberg has got into sad disgrace with the Queen. It seems that when he came up to Buckingham Palace the other day to represent her Majesty at the Iddesiecigh memorial service in Westminster Abbey, he took advantage of the outing to divert himself by going tothe Drury Lane Theater on the evening of his arrival in town. Considering the object of Prince Henry’s ex- cursion, it would certainly have been more be- coming had he passed the evening at home. He was to have returned to Osborne after the service, but the fog on the Solent was so dense thata telegram was sent from Portsmouth to inform him that it would be impossible for the Albert to cross to Oowes. So he remained at Buckingham Palace till the next morning, andintheevening repeated the previous in- discretion by going tothe circus. The Queen was exceedingly wroth and Prince Henry is not likely to be sent again anywhere to repre- sent her. * a . PRINCE ALEXANDER. The mischief which has been occasioned abroad by the extravagances and aberrations of the Queenand Lord Salisbury can scarcely be exaggerated. The foreign papers are full of the wildest reports about Prince Alexan- der, all tending to show that he is the protege of England. One journal announces his im- of her Majesty’s provinces of the Oriental In- dies, while another asserts that Prince Alex- ander is to be appointed Governor-General of Egypt by the English Government in the place of the Khedive who is to be deposed. A well known Moscow paper informs Russia that the Battenberg Prince will shortly be- come the husband of Queen Victoria, while several German papers predict his union with her Majesty’s widowed daughter- jn-law, the Duchess of Albany, The real fact igs that Prince Alexander has gone south for the Benefit of his health, which has suffered both ‘physically and mentally by the events of the last sik months. He contemplates a visit to the United States in the autumn. FISCHBEIN’S GOETHE. ° The late Baron Charles de Rothschild of Frankfort bequeathed the celebrated por- trait of Goethe by Fischbein, which was painted at Rome in 1786, to his daughter, the Baroness Solomon Rothschild of Paris, and she has presented it to the Stadt Art Institute at Frankfort. Itis aprincely gift, the pic- ture being practically priceless. GAINSBOROUGH’S FAMOUS ‘‘SISTERS.’’ Among the pictures of the late Mr. Graham of Glasgow, which are to be gold next month, is Gainsborough’s famous ‘‘Sisters,’’ for which the late owner paid 6,000 guineas at the sale of the Townley coliection in 18738. „LE RETOUR DES CENDRES DE NAPOLEON.’’ The famous picture by Frichot, entitled Le Retour des Cendres de Napoleon, which was painted in 1846, has just been presented to Gen. Boulanger as Minister of War and he has given orders that it is to be piaced in the chapel of the Hotel des Invalides. AUTHORS’ GAINS. A correspondent writes: ‘‘With regard to your interesting note about author’s gains last week, I may inform you thata friend of Mr. Thackeray’s, to whom I mentioned your statement, told me that he received $10,000 for ‘Esmond,’ selling the book out and out for thatsum. The price of ‘Pendennis’ was $600 per number, andso far as I remember there were twenty numbers.’’ COSTLY WAR SHIPS. Ido not wonder that Lord Churchill was ex- asperated by the muddling and puddling of the War Office and the Admiraity. There is, tor instance, the ironclad Oonqueror, which has been buliding for nine years and which has had immense sums squandered on her, and so far she has never leftthe dock yard. Another £20,000 is now to be expended and it is hoped that she will be finished this sum- mer. It is monstrous that a ship which has costso much should not have yet been ready to go to sea. SOFT BERTHS FOR ROYALTY. The Nore command will become vacant in July by the promotion of Prince Ernest of Leiningen to the rank of Admiral, and I hear that it is the wish of the Queen that her rela- tive should be appointed commander-in-chief at Portsmouth when next that station becomes vacant. The Portsmouth command is regard- ed as the blue ribbon of home berths and it is certainly hard upon deserving officers that so coveted a post should be conferred upona German princelet, whose only recommenda- tion is his connection with the royal family. If we go on at the present rate every post worth having, both in the army and the navy, will, im afew years, be filled by a royalty or THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE. | Details of the Celebration Arranged—Her | Monday, the 20th of | pending appointment by the Queen as Viceroy station were, to a large extent, manned by | Chinamen, In a regatta which came off at Hong Kong, just before Christmas, the Victor Emmanuel entered an eight-oared galley manned entirely by Chinamen, who beat all the boats of the squadron in a capital style over a two-mile course. The Chinamen are said to have rowed a longer and slower stroke than any of their competitors, and their boat has never been beaten yet. There must be some good stuff in the Celestials, after ali. A HINT TO THE QUEEN, The Queen is not personally unpopular in Ireland, but if she were to address a letter to the Irish landlords calling upon them to act with humanity to their tenants, and were to express her disapproval of the horrid acts of the Glenbeigh money lenders and lawyers towards the unhappy inhabitants of that val. ley, she would do more to encourage loyalty in Ireland than even ber ministers can do to discourage it. I hear that Lord Bandolph Churchill hag re- ceived a most kind and touching letter trom the dowager Countess of Iddesleigh in reply to the letter of condolence which he addressed to her a few days after the death of her late husband. IRISH SHYLOCKS. Mr. William Layne Joynte is a well-paid Crown official in Ireland. Thirteen years ago he bought an estate as a speculation. The lands are held under lease. The terms are high. The poor law valuation of one farm is £147, rent £316. Of another the valuation is £158, rent $249. Up to now the rents have been paid out of the capital, all appeals for reductions having been met by the threat of the issue of writs. This year the parish priest wrote to Mr. Joynte. He replied that he would have his rents in full or take legal proceed- ings. The man Joynte clearly is aware that reductions in rent are necessary, for, acting as agent for other landlords, he has given a reduction of 20 per cent under judicial rents to tenants. Is it surprising that with Shylocks Hke this spread broadcast over the country the Government that supports them in their exactions is not popular? THE PARIS NUNCIO. The elevation of the Papal Nuncioat Paris, Mgr. de Rende, to the rank of Oardinal will be anepoch inthe pacific policy of Leo XIII., and in the modern history of the Papacy. The power of a pope to construct the conclave which will elect hig successor is no doubt great. Leo XIII. in the eight years of his reign has had the opportunity of appointing far the larger proportion of existing cardinals, for of the fifty-eight eminent wearers of the red hat, only sixteen were created by Pius IX. On the other hand, the Pope’s influence does not last long after his death, that, for instance, of Pius IX. having already almost entirely dis- appeared despite his two and thirty years sway. The present Holy Father keenly alive to this and to the risks involved therein, and both he and his fellow-Perugians, as M. Des Houx would put it, are determined to have as much permanence as may be to the policy which has appeased Prussia. The next Pope is to be a young man. That is well understood and Mgr. de Rende is, so to say, the favorite. He has been carefully put to the proof and the verdict of authority is that he has been found prudent. The samc combination that placed Leo XIII. in the chair of St, Peter, in spite of years of neglect at the hands of Oardinal An- tonelli, will place the discreet Paris Nuncio there when the Catholic Church loses the guidance of Leo the Pacific.

LOUISE BALFE, The Heroine of the Leonard-Erlanger Shoot- ing Scrape in Trouble—Amusement Notes. BV Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. NEW Tonk. February 2.—Actor George Leonard of Rose Coghlan’s company, a stout and comely young Englishman, was deserted by his wife, Louise Balfe, a year or more ago. She charged him with cruelty and he accused her of unlawful intimacy with A. L. Erlanger, a Cincinnati manager of the travelling com- panies. One day Leonard met Erlanger on Union Square and thumped him soundly. He paid for it in court next day. Later Miss Balfe went away with Erlanger on the road. In Philadelphia all the parties came in contact after a while, and there was another row, resulting in pistol shooting on the part of Erlanger. Leonard went to the hospital to mend and Erlanger managed to get away from the courts. He and Miss Balfe proceedéd South ona 8 tour. Yesterday Leonard learned that his wife was again in trouble, and this time with Erlanger. 6 latter, it seems, intercepted a note written by the actress to an admirer. His jealous rage 8 manifested itself and a serious quarrel resulted. Satur- day night Erlanger and Miss Balfe parted company, disbanding their troupe and clos- ing their season. Mr. Leonard says it has all come out as he expected it would, and the actors about town last night agreed that he had theic entire sympathy.

CuicaGo, III., February 2.—A meeting of the Western Export Association was held yester- day, a full delegation being present. During January the pool over-produced to the extent of 188,000 gallons, which was got rid of by ex- portation. The assessment of three cents per gallon will be continued for the coming months. The production will be limited for the same time to 3,800,000 gallons. The trouble existing between the Kidd distillery of Peoria and the pool has been adjusted. It del. de- cided that the Terre Haute distillery ntly burned will not be rebuilt till spring. Train Wreckers at Work.

Fitzgerald of the Police Court last night has produced a pro- found feeling. The Judge has for a long time been the terror of evil-doers, but no one bas ever ventured to charge him with any feeling but that of a desire to yindicate the law and to punish and prevent crime. Only yesterday he bad nearly a hundred cock-fighters before him, and in all cases where a plea of ilty was made he fined them $25 and costs. There are still a number of these cases pend- ing to be heard on Friday. The circumstances of the attack being made last night, gives color tothe suspicion that some one inter- ested on behalt dt these defendants had un- dertaken the desperate scheme of murder- ing the judge. The time for THE GUILTY DEED was well chosen. The jadge was alone in his library preparinga decision in a submitted case. is son and his son’s wife had gone to the theater. When the door bell atthe side entrance rang the judge answered it in person, He says he saw aman with a black face there, who said Judge Fitzgerald?“ The judge answered well. Just then the caller drew a white hand from dis overcoat pocket, and the judge caught the glitter of the weapon in time to jump aside just be- fore the shot was fired. He fell with an ex- clamation, and the assassin doubtless thought he had accomplished his purpose. The ser- vant giris came to his help and neighbors were summoned. It was found that he had not been wounded, though the ball cut through his coat. He was greatly prostrated by the nervous shock. This was greater because, although be had not be- fore made it known, this was not the first assault he has suffered. About a week age, after — 4 business meeting near the Court-house, he started home, when geome one buried a brickbator bowlder at his head and narrowly missed his aim. Itwas dark and the judge could not see his assail- ant, who instantly ran. The judge appeared as usual on the bench this morning. e says he bas no doubt he can recognize the voice and form of his assailant. SCOTCH CHEVIOT SUITINGS MADE TO ORDER FOR $80 AND $35.

Seven Masked Men Attempt to Rob the Jer- sey City Post-Office, Inns kr Ciry, N. J., February 2.—A bold but unsuccessful attempt was made last night by seven masked men to rob the safe in Jersey City Post-office. The burglars were concealed in the building and surprised the night watch- maa, John W. Stringham, who fired three shots at them, wounding one ofthem inthe arm. Stringham was then overpowered and blindfolded and bound hand and foot, after which the burglars carried him to the top fioor, where the janitor, John Nix- on, his wife and child reside. These people were also bound and two of the masked men stood guard over them. The safe is built in a wall. The combination was broken and three attempts were made to blow the safe open with powder, but were un- successful. Twoof the explosions were very loud. About two square feet of the wail in the rear of the safe was torn down. The burglars worked from Il o’clock last night until o clock this morning, bat the safe resisted al their efforts to open it. The thieves carried off a large quantity of mail matter. 1,000 CLOCKS FROM 61.20 TO $100. Finest stock ever shown.

JacobG. Gaudaur, the champion oarsman of America, is at present engaged in hunting in the vicinity of Creve Our Lake, but as soon as the weather softens and the ice on the lake opens he will throw aside his gun and again take up his blades for practice. Fred Plalsted, his trainer, will arrive here on April 1. and will take Jake in hand to prepare him for his race with Ed Hanlan—since that oarsman has announced his positive intention of measuring — — „ * 2 Jake Gaudaur. oars with the champion. The race will be over a three-mile course with aturn. It will be for a stake of $5,000, or §2,500 and tor the championship of America. The race will take place on May 30, at Lake Geneva. After bis race with Hanlan Gaudaur will be foot- loose for regattas and for matches which other oarsmen may desire to make with him. He will doubtiess enter in the proposed profes- sional regatta at Erie, Pa., in case the gentile- men suggesting it make good their promises. He will also be a com- petitor in the Fox regatta to be rowed fh June in case this backer also comes to the front with his money. Another regatta in which the champion will enter is the Bos- ton one, given by the municipality of Boston, and in which $1,000 or thereabouts will be of- fered in prizes. This regatta will be rowed July 4. Another probable engagement of Gandaur will be a match race with John Teemer for the championship of America, should Gaudaur defeat Hanlan for that title in May. Jake and his backer, J. A. St. John, have no fears on that bead, however, and therefore anticipate a race with the ex-champion. Teemer, notwith- standing the charges of crookedness which stand against him, will have no trouble in find- ing backers in the Smoky City. Thus far the above are nearly the plans of Gaudaur for the coming season, besides other rich regattas thatthe advance of the warm weather will bring out. As yet no word has been received from Champion Beach regarding the proposition submitted to him by Mr. St. John, and the receipt of a letter from him agreeing to leave his farm in Australia for American money would doubtless interfere with Gaudaur’s par- ticipation ip a numbei of smaller events to which the attraction would be correspond- ingly less. Gaudaur had a successful season last year, although losing the great race on the Thames, and he cleared a snug sum by his year’s work. The only thing remaining to round out his success would be a victory over the world’s champion, and another attempt will be made to meet Beach, whether the lat- ter elects to come to America or not. — — JOHNNIE WARD. The Leader of the New Rules Movement Watching and Waiting. When Johnnie Wara, the lawyer, went to Chicago last fall and sat among the solons in the pariors of the Tremont House advising the Joint Rules Com- e mittee what to adopt and what to reject of the revisions pro- posed, he little thought that he was leading a movement the ultimate result ot which no one can now foretell. Of «y the newrules adopted ; by the League and fa- vorably regarded by the Association the Johnnie Ward. vast majority were the product of Jobnnie Ward’s brain. The abolition of the high and low ball, the reduction of the number of called balls and the increase of the number of strikes were all old, but the pitching rules affecting the delivery, etc., the out on fourth strike and the improvements on the old suggestions belong to - Ward. When his ideas were adopted he suddenly sank out of sight and left it to Caylor and Chadwick to wage war on each other as to their wisdom. The war is by no means settled yet and there is no pesenost that it will de. One-half the players nterviewed on the subject condemn the* new rules, and the other half favor them. Some even zo so far as to predict that they will be abolished altogether when actual practice roves them to be ili chosen. While all this 8 going on Mr. Ward continues his law — — and evidently cares but little about the _ THE MAROONS. What the Outsiders Have to Say of Their Disbandment. The prediction made several weeks ago that the Maroons would not be in the League next season shows able-podied signs of being ful- filled. Remarks the Detroit Free-Press: The St. Louls newspapers, which made such vig- orous protests when the dissolution story was first published, now admit that all Strom- berg’s actions point to such a result. There is little doubt if Stromberg ever had any in- tention of continuing the Maroons, but simply had inview the making of as much money as possible by selling off the valuable players in the team and disposing of the franchise at the highest possible figure. Indianapolis will buy the —— at a reas- is the haggling would-be purchasers. Spalding, Young compose the committee which is em- powered to dispose of the pia ers of a club u case of disbandment.

FAMOUS terests of the senior base ball organization, they proceeded to negotiate with Stromberg as to his terms. Thencame the hitch. Strom- berg wanted to retire from base dall im- mensely wealthy, and his figures were of the hair-lifting kind. A compromise will eventu- ally be effected. Boston is said to have an offer of $6,000 standing for Glasscock, which is doubtful. Anyway, Boston 2 not get him. As to Kansas City, there was a string tied to the franchise given that city, which wili soon be pulled. Indianapolis will probably step in and geta clab out of the Cowboys and Maroons who are leit after the Apportioning Oommittee gets through. re: STROMBERG’S POLICY — Carefully Outlined by Those Who Want His Players. The denial by President Stromberg of thé St. Louis Club that his club entertains any idea of leaving the League will have but little weight in the minds of those who have fol- lowed the course that events have taken, and who are familiar with his utterancés in the past, the Boston Herald has it. The release of McKinnon to Pittsburg, the resignation of the secretary of the club, the admitted attempt to sell Denny to New York, the well-known negotiations to dispose of Glasscock to Chicago and Boston, and of Boyle i and the admission on the part of Mr. Stromberg that he is ready to sell any player if he can get his price for him, and that business is business, and in this world warns but virtue has its price, all strongly point to the opinion that he is engaged in a grand money grabbing scheme, and that he has no idea of remaining in the League. Mr. Stromberg will not only not put such a team in the League as he would be compelled to do with the players mentioned left out, but the League would not per- mit him to do so. Such a team as he would have would notonly be a money losing ad- venture at home, but it would prove an utter failure abroad, and the result would be most detrimental to its partners in the League. Should Mr. Stromberg follow out his mone making ideas, and reduce the playing strengt of nis club to such a low plane As would be the inevitable result the League would step and in, by virtue of the authority given in the busi- ness agreement of its several club members, to which Mr. Stromberg has subscribed, de- clare the St. Louis franchise forfeited, assume control of it, and dispose of its players to the financial benefit of the League and not to Mr. Stromberg. If Mr. Stromberg keeps on in his present course, St. Leuis will most assuredly not be represented in the League the coming season. SOBRIETY. 16 The National League to Take Action on this Important Matter. For some years back one of the greatest drawbacks to the game of base ball has been the curse of intemperance among the players, | says an Eastern writer. The managers and club Officials have been giving the matter their special attention and have done all within their power to suppress it through fines in- flicted upon the offenders. The method at first had a good effect, but so many of the qlub managers allowed their big hearts to get the better of them and on pretext of good be- havior remitted the fines at the end of the season, that lt was not long before the la merel t e f g b gos “ake Nearly all"the leading "clubs in the coun: ory Eee more or less uble last season on this score, and those who were firm and showed the players thatthe fines did go“ are now the very ciubs that are having trouble in getting their to sign forthe com season.
