President Harrison.
“The leading article of last week’s
Independent is one upon President
Harrison, the main points of which are
There
is embodied, however, an interview
with President Harrison, which, like
every utterance of our Chief Magistrate
’is worthy of particular attention.
Concerning the Elections bill, the
‘President has said:
“It would have
been possible to have passed the bill if
it. had been pressed early in the long
session. I consider the pledge we gave
lit Chicago required this. In all the
speeches I made during the canvass of
that year I laid especial stress upon the
necessity of reforming the election
laws, and everywhere I went this issue
was accepted without protest as one of
'the issues of the campaign. ”
As to the election last November,
find their effect, President Harrison
Said: “The reasons for the last election
"result were various, but mainly local in
then character. The Farmers’ Alliance
movement, which in the South had ac-
quired such a headway against the
democratic party, in its invasion of the
North directly attacked the strength of
the Republican party. The dissatis-
faction with local conditions, the effect
of the misrepresentations of the tar ifi‘
measure, which came too late to be
_ reached by explanations, are some of
the elements entering into the recent
. result.”
'wIn its editorial concerning the article
the Independent says : “Gen. Harri-
son will be renominated, and he will
have no more loyal and ardent sup-
porter than the brilliant and efficient !
Secretary of State. Mr. Blaine is not
now in the line of succession. His
chief is. He is not only entitled to it
by precedent, but he has fairly earned
the right to it by a judicious, strong
and efficient administration. Besides,
Mr. Blaine has a splendid field for his
ambition where he is, and doubtless he
would not care to incur the risks of
another campaign, for these risks
would probably be large under any cir-
cumstances by which the nomination
could come to him.”
What this implies as to the cordiality
ofthe relations between the President
and Mr. Blaine is a good answer to the
malignant assertions in many demo-
cratic journals regarding these two
distinguished statesmen.

THE NEW YORK PRESBYTERY.
It Decides to Inquire Into the Orthodoxy
of Dr. Briggs.
~ NEW YORK, April 14.—The spring meet-
ing of the New York Presbytery was be-
gun in the Scotch Presbyterian church, 53
West Fourteenth street, today. After the
opening prayer the nomination of repre-
sentativ es at the general assembly to be
held in Detroit was at once proceeded
with. The Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. D.,
Of the Theological seminary, was nomi-
nated as a representative without any op
position being made manifest to that name.
Rev. Dr. Birch, of the Bethany Presbyte
iian church, offered the following:
vVVhereas, The address of the Rev. Charles A.
Briggs. a member of this Presbytery, delivered
on Tuesday evening, Jan. 20, 1891, on the occa
sion of his inauguration as the “incumbent oi
the Edward Robinson chair of Biblical theol-
cgy“ in the Union Theological seminary (which
address has since been published by said semi-
nary), has been very generally criticised as
containing statements which are seemingly
contrary to the teaching and spirit of our Con-
fession of Faith; and
Whereas, This address has also been actually
made the occasmn of complaint to the general
gssembly by at least four Presbyteries: there-
ore
Resolved, That a committee be appointed tc
which the said address shall be referred for
careful consideration, with instructions to re.
port at the meeting in May what action, if any,
be appropriate in relation thereto.
,,Rev. Dr. Birch’s resolution was passed
unanimously, and the moderator appoint
ed the following committee to investigate
Dr. Briggs: Rev. Drs. Birch, Lampe, Van
Dyke, Forbes and McIlvane, and elders.
Professor J. J. Stevenson and Walter Ed-

A' DIAD DOG’S RAVAGES.
They Gave Him Another Chance to Bite
and He Did.
‘ KEYPORT, N. J ., April lac—The rabid dog
that made the day hideous here Sunday by
seriously biting Arthur Hill and Charles
Stewart, so that they are both under the
advice of Drs. D. E. Roberts and W. E.
Johnston, was killed Monday morning.
The dog was captured after biting several
other large dogs. Dr. Roberts agreed tc
take the dog to New York Monday morn-
ing for examination.
Early in the morning, however, the dog
broke loose, and played havoc all along the
streets. Mrs. H. Harris was bitten by the
dog and her dress torn from her. Joseph
Harris, her son, in attempting to kill the
mad dog, was also badly bitten on the
lower limb. After this the dog ran up the
street, and on its way bit some very valu-
able (logs, some of which were immediately
shot by a constable.
Dr. Roberts then severed its head and
took therefrom its brains and placed them
in a glass jar. He will send them to New
York. Dry grass, stones and sticks were
found in the dog’s stomach, which is posi-
tive proof of the dog being mad.
They Thought She Meant Business.
- CHICAGO, April 14,—Seven detective:
were routed by a woman here. ‘With a re
volver she twice drove the men from he)
premises. She is Mrs. M. B. Stratten and.
lives In a flat on North Clark street. He)
landlord sent the detectives to eject her
but she seized a revolver, and pointing ital
the astonished detectives, exclaimed, “11
you do not leave I’ll shoot!” They left
but Ieturned, and on being again threat
ened flew down the stairs and left the
plucky little woman in possession.

WAR CLOUD_S_ IN EUROPE
Germany Is Confide—Tt That Serious
Trouble Is Near at Hand:
“1‘0 PROVOKE A CONFLICT.
It Is Believed to Be the Kaiser’s Pur- ,
pose to Force a Row with France
and Russia in the Near Future.
. Russia Getting Herself Ready.
.;—~ .‘..
LONDON, April 14.—A Paris dispatch
says that the French naval authorities ex-
press themselves as much amused at the
kaiser’s proposition that in the next war
the German fleet should destroy the enemy
by one great coup.
The French .are confident of maintain-
ing their maritime superiority over the
Germans, whatever may be the case on
land, and a leading admiral is credited
with the remark that very few of Ger—
many’s vessels would survive the coup;
that it would be another Lissa, and with
more disastrous consequences to Germany
shan that battle was to Italy.
In other quarters the kaiser’s remarks-
1re accepted as indicating a set purpose to
provoke a conflict with France and Russia,-
md at no distant date. The manufacture
)1? arms in France for the Russian army is
being hastened, and the Russian forces
will soon be completely equipped with the
most modern weapons of destruction.
It is said that the czar’s gratification
with the promptitude and perfection of
the French manufacture of repeating rifles
for the Russian army was one of his mo-
tives for decorating President Carnot with
the order of St. Andrew.
Not a Sign of Peace.
The report that the kaiser has given up
his hunting programme, which had been
fully determined upon, and places and
lates arranged, in order to visit the fort.
resses of Alsace-Loraine, is not regarded
is a sign of peace.
It is said that the kaiser desires to 1n-
spect for himself the condition of Ger-
many’s frontier defences in the direction
315 France, and that later on he will make
1 similar tour on the Russian frontier.
l‘here is no disguising the fact that the al-
most universal impression prevails in Ger-
many that war is near at hand, and no
)flicial assurance can remove the impres-
SlOll.
Appropriate to the war spirit of the
times is the proposition to hold in Leipsic
in international Red Cross exhibition. It
will include, among other things, all ap-
pliances for cooking and preparing the
food for armies in the field. The best
nethod of feeding troops both in peace and
war is to be shown, and special attention
will be given to field bakeries, steam
Kitchens and the equipment and care of
3roops in the field and' In the colonies.
Russia’s Significant Movements.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 14,—The sale of
the Grashdanin, the N ovoye Vremya, the
Novasti and the Voshad on the streets
aas been suspended.
A large force of Kieif cossacks and two
regiments from Bessarabia have been de-
spatched to the Austrian frontier.
The czar {has renamed most of the regi-
ments of the Russian army after com-
manders and generals notable since the
;ime of Peter the Great, and the reserve
oattalions after important victories gained
0y the Russian army. Ten of these bat-
;alions are being raised to full regiments,
30,000 men being thus added to the re-
serves.
\Vith the recent decrees for the construc-
sion of military roads and a large increase
if the fleet, everything points to an unre-
mitting increase of the defensive force of
the empire.
The Military Gazette records important
experiments as to the adaptability of snow
breastworks against an enemy’s fires.
Such breastworks have been found to be
exceedingly valuable. In fact they are
almost impenetrable when water is poured
aver them, so as to form a crust of ice.
His Dead Body Found.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., April 14.—The
dead body of Thomas Donnelly was found
in the rear of a grocery store here Monday
morning. He had been struck with a
blunt weapon 011 the temple and been
killed. Donnelly was employed along the
railroad, and was paid ofi on Wednesday
last. It is surmised that while in a drink-
ing bout with boon companions he became
involved in a row and received a fatal
olow.
Barry Sullivan Dying.
LONDON, April 14,—Barry Sullivan, the
famous Englishtragedian, is dying. Mr.
Sullivan is sixty-seven years of age, hav-
mg been born in Birmingham in 1824. He
visited the United States and Canada in
[857, and after having received a most en-
thusiastic reception in both countries re-
turned to Great Britain in 18610.
BRIEF DIENTION.
Three young sons of Thomas Munce, of
Washington, Pa, found a partly empty
nitro-glycerine can in a fence corner. The
boys began throwing stones at it. One
stone struck the can and it exploded, kill-
in g two and fatally injuring the third.
As the centenary of the adoption of the
Polish constitution approaches, on May 3,
it is said that the Poles are becoming rest-
less and impatient of Russian rule, and an
outbreak is feared. Anti-Russian demon-
strations have been made at Warsaw.
New Jersey farmers, who are striving
for political reform, decided at a confer-
ence held in Bridgeton not to organize a
third party, but to endeavor to obtain
their ends inside of present party lines.
The European war scare is still engaging
the attention of continental diplomatists,
and it is said hostilities may break out at
any moment, the signal to fight depending
upon Italy’s decision to break with Austria
)r to attack France.

murdered J. J. Meadows, a railroad watch-
man, was taken from jail at Princeton,Va. ,

DRESS TRIMMINGS.
Before telling our own story let us repeat what the representative of a
leading New York importing house said a few days ago upon inspecting
stock. "I have just come from New York, have seen the best stocks
inPhiladelphia, Boston and Chicago, but I have never seen a collection of
fine trimmings to 'surpass this.” He was not praising his own wares, as our
purchase from him amounted to less than one hundred dollars. Brilliancy
of coloring and elegance in efi'ect and style characterize the latest dress
trimmings. We carry a full line of all the latest novelties in Gold, Silver,
Steel and Jet Passementeries ; W ide and Narrow Jeweled Gimps are
efi'ectlve and elegant. The best styles are controlled by us and will be
shown in limited quantities only.
