Berlin, January 29 —To the oomspon dent of tbe Associated Press, vrto inter viewed him today, Dr. Leyds muue the following statement: ‘'I know nothing about the reported missions of either Mr. Macrum or Mr. Webster Davis. Nor, to the best of m.v knowledge Is either the bearer cf a mes sage ot peace. There are nc increment, under way on our part to Induce Presi dent McKinley to intervene between Ureat Britain and the Transvaal. As 1 do not at present have direct communica tion with Pretoria, I do not know what Mr. Montague White's mission Is, exospt to establish diplomatic relations with the United states “All this talk about peace Is sadly premature. Ureat Britain surely will not eucoumb now, neither will we. While we are talking here, it may be that a de cisive battle U being fought there, for 1 preen me Lord itoberts has withdrawn the ps from around Ladysmith and la ura-slng them for a formidable ooup,” Dr. Leyds repeated bis former deolara lion thnf the Boers, when oonoluding peace, would want buck part at least of the territories which England “stole from the Boers." He rather expects also that a harbor south of Mozambique will go to the Transvaal, “for our legitimate exten sion,1’ hs added, “We need tree aoceas to the sea." He asserted emphatically that one con dition cf peace would be the recognition of tbe absolute independence of tbe Transvaal. h Berlin Is certainly very muoh excited over Dr. Leyds. He is overwhelmed with Invitations. Bis apartments at the Pal tst hotel, where the Transvaal Hag Is Hying, are besieged day and night by orowda, including contractir* and min ing speculators, as well as Uae ladles, gentlemen of tbe court und army clHoers, who wish to oongratul ite him upon the Boer successes or to offer their services.

Thera was plenty of music and enthusiasm. Congressman Dentx, who Is a member of Col. Bryan's party also made a ringing apeeoh at the meeting here. THE PAWTUCKET MEETING.

Ur. llyran then argued upon tbe suhjeot of taxation and apoke In favor of aa oqnall zetlon of lte burdens, declaring tbat the Hepnblloan party It paying more atten tion to aggregation of wealth than to tbe rlgbte of tbe people.

Xba subject of lnapattailsi >a defined as a government thirteen Inches In diam eter, round, and llred out of a cannon. Mr. Bryan closed by saying: "Xba Re publicans believe tbat It la tbe deatlny of thla country to enter Into tha Interna tional land grabbing trust and Imitate tbe Kuropean nations to oarry on a war of conquest. "The Democrats believe tbat It la the mission of this nation to stand erect and ■bow by lte example tbe blessing of self government." A hurried exit was mads In order to take tbe train at 7.S8 o’olook for Prnvl AT PKOVIDENUK. Provldenoe, January 2B.—Mr. Bryan arrived here from Woonsocket at 8.06 and was driven to Infantry ball, where an Immense crowd bad gathered. At the hall be was Introduced to the members of the •tatc committee of Kbode Island and to a delegation from Boston. Ex-Uovernor John W. Davis presided. Congressman Lentz of Ohio, who was first Introduced, was given s great reoep tlon. He expressed hlr belief that the people before him were in sympathy with tbe little republic In South Africa, saying that onoe in every generation cornet a great ruesllcn to the human mini, ilke the question before the people, today, and history repeats Itself. In ltGO Abraham Lloouln was before tbe Amerloan people with the saore question, tekiog the same subject that would be presented a little later on by William Jennings Brysn (applause), and us long its the American repnUlo Oan nase meet ings and audiences, It will matter little even If the newspapers are disposed to snppreas the foots. The speaker deolorsd i bat free speeoh and free pr«.« are not protected in tbit country as they should be, "and we are independent upon au diences like this.” (Applause.) Senator Hoar stood arm In arm with Abraham JLinooln on one of the greatest qustilont that ever came before humani ty. I do not credit the Preel lent of the United States with being anything more tbun human, notwithstanding the faot that be may undertake to have tbe people te'lsve that he lr in partnership with the Diety on this questi>n of im perialism. I onnnot believe that Deity wblrh takes notes of tbe fall or the spar row and numbers the very halre of your head, lr In any closer onion to your I'reiident than he is with a jnsliae of the psaoe. (Laughter.) Ccngresiman Lrnti then derotsd his ittenllon to.the porl'lon of the admin Dtra'lon toward* the Phi lpplnes, assail ing it in vigorous terms. The andlence roes en masse as Uol. Bryan was ushered upon the platform and lntroduoed. Mr. Bryan said that he had listened to tbe applause and was glad to feal that than were persons In Providence who did not endures tbe Hepnhlloan party.

A narrow foot path admitting men in single file only to the summit opens to a perfect table land probably of three hundred square yards area upon which the Boers hid hastily commenced to make a transverse trench. Our men were able to occupy the fur ther end of this table laud where the ridge descended to another flat, which was again suc ceeded by a round, stony eminence held by the Boers in great fctrengtb. The ridge held by our men was faotd by a number of strong little kopjis at ail I angles, whence the Boers sent a ooncea i trated tire from their rifles, supported by a Maxlm-N'ordenfeldt and a big long I range gun. What with the rifles and the machine guns and the big gun, the suxn I mlt was converted Into a perfect hell. Ueloforusraents wore harried up by Gen. Warreo, but they had to oross a stretch of flat ground which was literally torn up by the flying lead of the enemy. The unfinished trench on the snuuult gave very questionable shelter, at th e enemy’s machine guns were so accurately ranged upon the place that often sixteen shells fail In the trench In a single min ute. Mortal men oohid not permanently hold such a position. Oar gallant fellows held It tenaciously twenty-four hours and then taking advantage of the, darkness, abandoned It to the enemy." The Times has the following heliograph message via Mo Ider river from Kimber ley, dated January 20th: "The bombardment continues. It Is now directed toward the Inhabited por tlons of the town rather than the fortill oatlons. Between midnight and 4 p. in., yesterday 15 shells were fired.

KnglUh Coninirnt on Turn of Affair* at Month Africa. London, January 20—0.17 p. m. —Tba qhuaI airy attempts to mlmlmtss tba •Miiotopst ot tba situation In South Africa are entirely larking this after noon, and it la frankly acknowledged that the most serious effort of tbe pres ent war hrn dismally failed. There Is no sign of a wish on the part of tbe leaders of public opinion to dis* guise tbe ugly facts, bat on tbe contrary there Is every disposition to faoo tbe fall dlllionltles and discover tba best way out. In shoit the polloy voiced every where Is the gathering up of forces for more effective blows. All hopes for the speedy relief of Ladysmith have been abandoned and tbe oonrensue of expert ot inton urges tba Immediate shifting of tbe theatre of war from tbe rooky kopjes of Natal to tbe open veldt of tbe Ifree State. Ore thing appears certain. Another long pause Is inevitable noless tbe Doers assume the offensive, because even in the event of Uen. Duller farther attempting to reach Ladysmith tbs planotng ot a new move will necessarily occupy time. The afternoon papers are discussing whence are to ourae the troops for a pro tracted campaign. It Is becoming gen erally recognized that some form of com pulsory service Is more imimnent than previously thought of. The tit. James Onset te, however, sug gests that the solution of pouring more and more troops Into Sooth Africa savors of the Spanish action la Cuba, adding that the solution of making let ter use of the thousands already there has never sugge-t?i itself. I Tbe St. James Gazette this {afternoon, returns to soathlng criticism of the lan guage of Geo. Dulleri reports. It says: “Gen. Duller’« reileotlou on the torror we have heard about Chinese mandarins. The St. James Gazett further says: The meaning of the retreat Is obvl oub. We have had to recognize that we cannot force our way through the ene my's lines to Lad>smith. Whr.’we don't know. If the Boer (osltlon Is impregna ble It ought m ver to have been attacked If It Is ca(iahle of being taken we were repulsed b cause the leadership was bad and It Is Idle to Attempt to conceal that the latter Is far from Incredible.

Headquarters Republican State Committee, J Augusta, Maine, Jan 4. 1900. To tlio Republicans ul Maine:—Prior to 189:1 two Presidential electors at large, corresponding to the two United States senators, were nominated in State con vention, and the remaining electors, cor responding to the members of the United States House of Representatives were nominated by the several congressional district conventions. The nassage of the Australian Ballot law entirely changed the procedure. Un der the law, all Conventions are a por tion of our election system, and this ballot act requires that candidates to be voted for by the Voters throughout the whole State must be placed in nomina tion by a convention representing no less a constituency than the whole State. Hence, all the oandldatee of a party for Presidential electois must be nominated In State Convention, nod 1 have there fore included In the oall six electors. J. H. MANLEY, Chairman. of the Pint Relgment now M' not taken paper credit for (3,365.000 Instead of (a.315.0O0. He Insisted that the failure to answer left open the question as to taxation. He also questioned the right of the Na tional City bank with a capital of (7,000. 000 to buy real eitate to the amount of balf of its capital. In closing the debate Ur. DaDall of Psnnsylranla, said the whole question of referring the whole subject to the ways and means committee had been used to renew charges that hud been answered oyer and oyer again by none better than by prominent Democrats In the House and country. "Wbo are they?" cried aeyeral Demo crats. Ur. Dalzell paid no beed to these cries. So far as the rlgbt of the bank to pur chase property was oenosrned, Ur. Dal sell said Its purchase had been autho rised by tbe aot that authorized tbe sale. Tbe resolution was tben adopted with out division. Tbe bill was passed to appropriate 90. 000 for a military hospital at Fort Leav enworth, Kaa. The House tben prooeeded to lha call ot committees. A bill from tbs committee on merchaut marine and fisheries to require officers and pilots of steam vessels to make oath to their applications for licensee and providing penalties for perjury, brought oat o.nslderubie opposition from members having eonstltnrntr In tbe river traffic on tbe Oblo, Tennessee and Uls slsstppl rivers. Ur. Wheeler of Pennsyl vania, moved to reoommlt the bill. Tbe motion failed and tbe bill passed without division. Tbe House then went Into oom mltlee ot the whole to ooaalder the bill for the re-organisation and Improvement of the United States weather tureen. Ur. Wadsworth of New York, In charge ot tbe bill, explained Its objects, saying It would Inaugurate In tbe weather bu reau an Ideal merit system. Ur. Brown of Ohio, opposed tbe feature of the bill provided for withholding 9 per sent of the salaries of snob employe for the creation of the pension fund.

We hate no doubt that the Key. W‘. F. Berry has bit upan the real basin reason way the prohibitory liquor law la not vigorously enforced In thla stale, that the people ore Indifferent, that Is, do rot cn much whether It ie enfuioed or not. While this condition remains true as to the majority of the people, and there ex ists a minority very Insistent that It ahsll not be enforced, probably we shall get no better enforcement than we are getting cow. Mr. Berry Is trying to roues public sentiment to demand and Tnsiet upon rigid and continuous enforce ment, and In this he is working along the only line that promises any perma nent Improvement. t The wide dlSerenoe between tbe Brit ish aooount of the abandonment of riplon Kop acd that of tbe Boers, has probably not escaped general obaervatlon.

It la well understood that the oampalgn wbloh has just resulted In humiliating failure had been planned before Lord Roberts arrived at Capetown, aad that he bed nothing to do with It more than to (auc tion it when there was really nothing else to do. Huller hoped to retrieve his repu tation wbloh was so seriously damaged at bis first attempt to oross ths Tugela river He has tried and failed. He oan nnt exp ot to have another ehanoe. The statement that he bad fallen back to start again to the relief of Ladysmith by an other roots, woo mad* probably to solton the news of failure. There Is no proba bility that ha will bo allowed to try an c ther route, and no likelihood If ho wot* ih it be would succeed. Undoubtedly ho selected the meet favorable route open to blm, and failure there means failure by any other rout*. In all probability Lady smith Is doomed. To organise an expe dition powerful enough to have any onanoe of rellerlng It wonld, It Is esti mated, require a month, aad UeneraJ Wute'e army eould not endure that time. Of oouixe the fall of the plaoe will bring groat bmnMIailon to the Kngllsh people, yet from a pdsely military standpoint It might be the beat thing fee the English that oould happen. "The oonntry In that vicinity Is exceeding well salted to d* enoe, |ani the Boers bar* pre empted tbe strongest position* and thoroughly fortified them. Aa long ee It remains the ohlef battle ground the Ehg llsb matt he at so Immense disadvant age. To drive the Boers out they most ■a eased In front at tasks, aad this is prao tloally Impossible.

Indaed, It la tbe only ooorae that affords any hope of anocoaa Id tbe near future. Eventually, no doubt, they oould wear the Boers out by continuing to pound away at their positions around Ladysmith, for the Boors have no reserve of men to draw on, while the Brltleh have plenty.

Perhaps th* moat remarkable feature la Queen Victoria's career ha* been the skill with which she bus contrived to main tain tbe oharm and simplicity of an old fashioned English homo life, notwith standing tbe pump and oeremony which necessarily belong to a court. This is largely due to her early training. The daughter of the duke of Kent, a prlno* of limited Income, the vonng Princes* Vlo toria saw little of the luxury which Is commonly supposed to abound in royal circles. Strict economy was the rule In her early home, and the lesson has never been forgotten. Amid the costly mag niflenoa which characterizes the state apartments, the Queen's private rooms are always notable (or their comfort and homellkeness. In matters of dress, too, Q ejn Victoria Is far more economical than many of her middle-class subjects. This may best bs illustrated by a good stcry wblob has the advantage of being perfectly true. Some tune ago a newly appointed equerry was going through the stables when be saw a parson In a shabby black dress and mushroom nat looking at the horses. Possessing more zeal than discretion, he at once called out: “My good woman, you mu"t go away at onne. strangers are nut allowed here when the queen U In residence." A« she did not seem inclined to leave he went on to threaten to have her escort* d to ths gates. Judge of bis feeling when the shabbily dressed old laly turned around, and the queen stood revealed. This Is but one of many amus ing incidents that have arltnn through the sovereign's love of simplicity In dress After the busy morning's work the queen fazes a frugal lunch. Notwith standing the resources of the royal kitch ens and the well-laden table that her majesty always likes to s?e before her, she seta an example of strlot moderation, her own tavt** In food being of the simp lest The queen Is a great stickler for old-fashioned observances at the royal table. In particular she Insist# upon a plentiful supply of cold viands on the sideboard, though she very rarelv takes anything cold. The servants at Balmoral will never forget an oocaston when only ths half of a cold chicken giaced the side board. The royal mistress noticed the state of Affairs on entering the room. Soon she oonveyed a bint to Princess Beatrice and Lady Kly to both ask for cold chicken, and asked for the same herself. Li eat was the consternation, and the queen secretly enjoyed the scene, though the cervants certainly did not enioy the lecture they subeequenily re ceived from the master of the household. U'.’oen Victoria attributes her long life and exoallent health largely to her prac tice of spending as much time as was poeelLle in the open air every day. In b«r youth rtdlng was her favorite reoreivtlon, and In hootland she has almost £livad on pony-back. Now, of course, carriage exercise has taken Its plaoa hvery morning her majesty goes out In her little pony chair, often visiting the farm and stables in the course of her drive. kur nhnlr la ilrann h*f the beautiful donkey whioh w.ta purchased In ths south of France ty hie royal mis tress to save him from lll-traatmenl. This donkey rejnloee In the name of Jacko, and on holiday ocoaalons wears a curious harness adorned with belle and with two foxes' blushes hanging over the blinkers The great r part of the fore noon of raob weekday Is devoted to busi ness, for no woinao lo the land gets through more actual work In tbe coarse of each week than the uueea. Her dis patch boxes are arranged on a table set In Wladsor park, near the Frogman tea house, whenever the weather permits.

Mr. Libby said the government olilme 1 that It was only necessary to prcve that tne shooting took plaoe, with (he gun in tho hands of Elwell and then if the defense is to be that the shooting wnt accidental, toe burden falls on the defense to prove It by at least a prepond urenco of evidence. The first witness was Civil Engineer Foster of Westbrook, who produced a plan cf the kitchen where the shooting took plaoe. He had made accurate measure ments of the position of the stove on wtlch Adams was resting his feet und the chair In wliloh he sat when the shoot ing took plaoe. He had also noted the places where the charge of shot struck the walls, table and door, and had measureJ the height of the deud man and the height of Elwell. William Cousens was then called. He was in the room when ths shooting oc curred. He was coming cut cf the woods that afternoon when he met Klwell and rode with him up to Eeuben Kmery’s house. KeuLen Emery and James T. Adams were there also. The four men eat there in the kitchen during the eve ning. They were jcklngaod talking about one thing and another. Adams jjked Klwell about his hired girl and Kl well got ur, walking to the Btove and taking off tho cover for the purpose of spitting. Klwell did not say anything but went around behind Adams and took u shot gun from the oorner. He brought the gun around eo that the muzzle was within a foot or two of Adams's shoulder. In a moment there was nn explosion and Adams fell to the door. Eight heie the witness denied that he saw how Elwsll held the gun; had no ole».r Idea of what the two men were doing; said that when A dams fell to tho lloor no one said any thing; no one lifted him up to see how badly ho was hurt; Klwell made no re mark whatever; Emery went out to the li.m ti\ liMi-maa tha hnniA tn nil fr- Oreene, SI Tcmplg Ft., Boston, Mass..Is the most success* i fnl phrslcUn In the world In curing all forms ot female weak ness, chi miij complaints and nervous diseases of women.

Purls Kipoult Ion Will Have a IIUtnr>‘ of Tlirnt. Those who visit the Paris Exposition will ilod in the department of social eecnciry. in the United Mat?s exhibit, a piece of work that will tell of the savings banks of the frt .t; of Maine. The Urst glance at the work will show the excel lent handiwork of the State of Maine operators of the typewriting machine and the oloser examination will tell of the history of the savings banks of Maine, their present conditions and the laws re Htlcu to them. This piece of work wbloh the banking department sent out on the Pullman, Saturday night, la probably one of the neatest and mod attractive pamphlets of the sort ever sent out of the State. It Is In response to a oall by William F. Willoughby, the speeial agent of the edu cation and social economy department of the United Statse commission, asking Mr. Tlmterlake to furnish something of the sort in regard to the Maine Savings banks. He asked that all be ready for the commission by February as Mr. Tlm berlake explained that by the returns re ceived, he could not give full lnforma tlon any earlier. Th* purnosss of the Maine savings banka are tlrst of all given, then the past and prerent conditions of the banks are reviewed. In this are given the table* containing much the earns Information and arranged in the same form that Mr limberlake has them or his annual re port. Tables may contain much Infor mation, but unlese the man making them.makos compilations showing plain ly these facts thsy are of no us whatever to the general public. Mr. limberlake has set forth all these tigurts and faots eo that everyone can understand ami find iust what he desires to know about the laine banks of the past and preseo t. 'Ihe laws governing savings banks in Maine are given with marginal index. A more comprehensive and oomplet? work could not be Imugined to be placed in the spaoe of about 40 large sheets of typbwrltten copy. As for the meohanloal work, it took the skilled and practiced hands of Assistant Examiner W. li.

Hers they bare bold aloof from their ■tore civilized Cblneze neighbors, and are for the meet part ssml-tlvlllzed, many of them b> lng oarages of tbe woret order, and even oannlballsm is said to be preva lent among numbers of tbm. They ac knowledge no alleglanoe to the emperor, defy the mandarins, end bold no com munication with the outside world. Orer mountains and rivers and sandy wastes our Intrepid trarelsrs with a ■elected body of their breve followers and native (Jbarlkances made their way for fire days, until, halting on the edge of the forest, they saw lo a ehellow plain below them the object of their queet, the Chits city of Tzuohau. The author eon tic use as follows: "It hod been our Inten tion to etaal Into the d’y tinder cover of tbe nleht, but from onr cosltlon of vent age we could sae that some religious dem ■ot dsro to move. One of the Ubarlkaut sea, accompanied by one oi tbe Klangsls, volunt’ereil to oross the open apace and •nter tbe city In search of food. 2 “W1 h fearful hearts we saw them de part, and, half dsad with oold and ex posure, waited In silence for two lmg hours, wbeii we breathed a tlgh of Invol untary relief as they reappeared with several loaves of bread and two large plrcei of yak mrut, whlob they had been able to secure from a desait )d but. The reports whlon they brought from tbe town were far from reassuring, ihe nnU ves were engaged In a week’s relig ious ergy; should we dare to ent)r the city our presence would be Immediately detected, and, with their fleros and vin dictive natures fed on the Urea of relig ious frenzy our Instant fate would be assured. For another half hour our guides crawled out on to the plain, and return* with tbe Information that they fca l dU'overed a considerable cave In tha hillside t) the left of. -tr-i frir^g would screen us from observation, and st tbs sums time permit us to watoh tbs movements of those inside tbe walls. Cautiously we crawled along on our bellies for what seemed to be ages of time until one of our guides pointed to a nar row opening ahead, juit sufficient to ad mit a man in a stooping position. With a 6'gb of relief we entered, and with thankful hearts feasted on the raw yak meat. Fearful and watohful we remained all night, like wild beasts pursued hy some unknown terror. “Next morning the religions festival which we had witneesd the night before was still In progress, and we were about to venture forth to secure a better view, when we were harried b»ok by the un nerving spectacle of a long prooessloo approaching In our direction, beating drums and tom-toms and led by a dozen flltbj-looklng priests. They baited for a few minutes, and then, having re form ed, oommencel the ascent ot tbe hilly elope, where we were ooncealed. Onward still they oaine.the priests ohant I.. 4m >nU.n —.Kill kn.l. following took up the wild refrain until the din «u simply Indescribable. If we had entertained hopes that they were bound elsiwhere, we were doomed to dis appointment, for they were now roaroely CO yards away and approaohlng the oare entranoe. We had just time to tellre from our position and olamber up a etsep asoeat at one side of the care to a plaoe of oonoealmeut, when the leaders of the pro oerslon entered the narrow or 1 floe, and halted while torohes were being lit to golds their patsage through the gathering gloom. “For half an hour the far-torturing strife of dlroord wexed louder at every moment, until a hundred devil* to human form fluted beneath the sepulobral glare Of flickering torohes, ltks a weird and supernatural picture of another world. A frenzied enthusiast would leap Into the air, frothing at the mouth, carried away by the sanguinary and fanatical spirit of the moment; lsoeratlng hi in self with a knife, grasping the gory strip of flesh, and grinding It under his basl, or taunt ing a neighbor late the spirit of emula tion by flaunting before his eyes the ghastly pleoe of flesh. “tiuddenly from out the compact mass rose a howl of mingled anguish aod fury. At the farther end of the amphitheater was a sort of raised platform, upon which a solitary Individual was mount log. ertdsntlp on of in chief price*. Having and* tba aeoent, ho etntahad forth hi* hand. instantly ‘hate waa alienee.—the silence of n hundred hninan being* who bnt one abort moment before bad been a rolling horde of demons. Tba light of tha torohea enabled oe ts are the prleet who had mounted the platform. Ue waa a tall, gaunt Individual. Over topplog hla thin visage, and hanging nvev hla shoulder* and down hla baek below the middle, In wlten-llke leeks, fall a oorerlog of enn-eoorehed hair, In thick, greatr mas***. HI* *7** were burning (.right. All hi* right tide wn naked, and of the brown psrohmeot odor of hla fan, nod quite a* meager, covered with gaping rent* of knife-woand*, from whloh the blood trickled. A garment of tb* ouarsest doth covered hi* bodr below the waist, adorned with numerous plaoe* of bona and fetish boxes The torebe* gave oot an unwonted Oioker, and peer ing through the gloom, we could aee that live other* of elmllar appearanoe had fd lowed hlia on to tha platform of raised earth. The same deathlike ttlllnen per vaded the awe-etrloken multitude. Heretofore the farther end of the cave, where the platform waa erected, had been somewhat obeonred; but at a signal from one of the private a dosen natlvei stepped forward with lighted torohea, and. mounting the derated epaoo, arranged then»t-'vta In a drooler group on either aide The glaring beaoone penetrating tha surrounding gloom dlrooremd n hugs recess In tbs wall, at the rear of which ojuld te seen the distorted form of n gigantic Image—a stoop, lm| asslve flgure of sunn grotesque nglloefs that, with all of their barbarous and fanatloal natures, one eould not help wondering how enp raoe of people, howerer unenlightened, could bring themselves to worship an object of such repulelveueie, “Suddenly there waa a st,lr am blit the group of priests on the pletorm, und from tbe dark cranny. In whloh the luring Image stool, a uswoomer, a man of ad mirable proportions, oot eo tall as power ful and palrlarobal looking, descended. Us advanced rapidly forward, loosening his ragged garments as be oame, until he waa naked, safe a small doth girdled around thr lotos. As he turned toward tbe stone Image end raised his hand the groep of worshipper* erased their tnrmoll UUU toil |)IVJ»V1UUW *V* tun -“I 1 1 while keeping up en “Incessant groaning. Toward this grotesque, lnoongruocs, In animate pleoe of carved stone tbe eyes of all were turned In adoration. For a time tbe prostrate boras lay bowed to the Uoor In prayer, until a quickly discerni ble stir and show of Interest gave evi dence tn&t some moment of extraordi nary Interest was at hand. Quietly and unobserved, a dozen men had been carry ing Immense armfuls of wood on to the platform end plaolng them before the stone Image. “Soon the full Impart af. this move ment was apparent. Hera before out eyes was to taks plaoe one of those bar barous human sacrllloes of wblob we had heard rumors at Uhnrlaku. It! did not take long to oonllrm our eneplclons, fqi quietly and without raurme; „f any ftslf a dozen neworjoere had rooun1. edtbeeie^STed'spaoe, absolutely naked and bound with oorda,—Intended vlotlina of tbe carnival that waa to follow. The lire had been ulraady touched to the wood; the llrat falut Bicker had been fanned Into an open Bams, and In a min ute the whole mass was a earthing, roar ing furnace, lighting up the Interior of the caie as with the noonday sun. The bright glow of the fire permitted ue to is cure a better view of the doomed victims. Hive were men la tbo sere and yellow leaf, scarcely able to totter alone, nnd waoae Uvea In the natural course of ever t« oould not be prolonged many jesre. They were huddled together, apart fro n the other victim.—a young girl, who oould not have been over Id years of age. She had a oomely, nut-browu .faoe, with dark, wavy clusters of hair tumbling over her forehead nnd reaching down to her waist. With a oool, U not openly disdainful look, she gazed with exalted dignity on the surrounding group, with never a waver lu the itclo composure of her atiltuile. “At lest the fearful moment arrived. One of tbe old men waa seized and stretohed on a sort of stone altar, raised a few feet above the Uoor of the platform, ne fully realized that hie last hour had oome, for hie stololsm had vanished, nnd be struggled In Impotent fear nnd fury to escape from the grasp of his oaptors, giv ing vent tc shriek after shriek, until, weak and exhausted, he fell Into a etupor with only spasmodic efforts attempting o throw ott tbe restraining hands of the priests. Four of the minor prlrste held the faintly-straggling body down, while from the gloomy nlohe stalked forth the oblef eacrlliolal priest, hie hand holding mm, oiietenine knife hnvlna n broad. paddle-shap»l blade newly six Inches wide. Once, twloe, thrloe he sbased himself to ths ground before the unre epouelve image, and then turning aroand like a beast ready to leap on Its sleeping prey, with bis small rat eyes gllslealng with overpowering fasolnatlon, be rnsbed toward the prostrate form. A flash of light, as of a falling meteor, and tbe keen blade sank to tbe hilt In the flesh of tbe victim with a soft, soothing purr like Arm steel gilding over velvet, while tbe blooa spurted forth Id little foantelne of spray. Again tbe glumlng aud drip ping blade flashed in the air; again It descended In a murderous sweep; yet again, and again, five ttmea In all, until the very air reeked with tbe odor of blood, l'hree times did the worshippers on tbe floor relee and abaea themselves, and tben as quickly as a lightning's flssh the mi nor priests seized Uhe lifeless oorpee and beld It In the air. Far a moment It sil houetted against tbe fltful glare of the flra In a long, ghastly shadow, and then, shot through spnoe, the red flames leaped forward In eager eostaoy to receive their prey. “With hardly a moment's intermission tbe next vlotlm was hurried forward.

HMH'UL AAD COIMERCIAL Quotations of Staple Products in the Leadiug Markets. auw l«Ak Mock, Money Uralw Market Review. (By direct private wire to Louis S. Colwell, manager of Prior, McCormick Co.’s branoh omoe. 216 Middle street, Portland.) New York. January 39.—This morn ing's news from houtb Afrloa was of auon a nature to oauee the professional ali ment to boliove that a considerable break might occur. This belief received some support from the fact that quotations frem London showed an avertge loia of something like three-fourths per cent and console declined a fall polut conse quently dm lag the first fifteen minutes not only was London a fairly large sellvr, but the rofess:onal element was notably active on the bear tide. However, It soon became apparent that the selling was oon lined to these two emotions and that com mission nouses, although doing very lit tle, quickly changed their opinion end a fairly good rally ent»ued. The total Lon don sales probably did not exoeed 10,000 ■hares and this was In spile of tig faot that tho difference between prices hare and there ranged from three -eighths to five-eighths per oent. The explanation Is that the London market Jsextremely nar row and such a feeling cf nervousness and anxiety has bean created over there by ooneequenoe of the ieaent British re veries that neither the public nor the jot bars are dlspoied to trade. Tnlrd avenue displayed weakness early on a story that the details for the relief ef the company had not yet been decided on. It Is (till said that the Issue of short lime notes is In contemplation. It Is surmised that a gcod deal of the recent ■riling has been by people who expected to hare tin ss options offered to them. Metropolitan and Manhattan were notably strong on perslsltent rumors to the effeot that Mr. Mao Donald would not be able to secure the bonds whloh are required by law. The strength of sugar was due to the advance made in toe price or the re lined urtlole by the company which ad vanoe was alto made ly the Doeeher com pany, although the Arbuokles have not so fur followed suit. The other two out aide r**Ur?erics arc not io the market at present. Expectations of a dividend at the rate of six per cent was the cause of the advance in Amerloan steel and wire. Considerable realization nrnue Its appear ance above Ufty daring the afterm on atagnatlon became the main feature. The money market continues easy, bnt there Is a marked discrimination In the matter of collateral. In foot as far as time leans are oon earned better terms to the extent of one per tent can be made when the collateral consist* wholly of railroad stocks than when there 1* £3 per cent Industrial, whilst in oase of loans consisting wholly of Industrials the charge Is one per cent higher and In some oases ever greater difference Is made.
