V;u- talk is jjgain lie:ird in Washing Ton, as .usual, the naval officers are hoping that there may be something in ir. It is not complimentary to the Mritish gavernment, which is pledged by formal treaty to abide by the decis ion f the arbitrators, in the Behring S.a dispute, that' so many, people should be willing to believe that the massing of warships and troops in the lV.-in Indicates a .disposition- to dis , pule by force the decission of the arbitrator-, should it be against England, .i it is generally believed it will be. IJuT tli British government has upon more than one occasion in the pastdis plaved some very 'queer ideas of the meaning of international honor. It ha born suggested here that the talk about the English not accepting the decision- is originated by the Eng lish, for the purpose of influencing the arbitrators in their decision. If so it is a very "foolish- proceeding, certainly a far as the American, arbitrators are concerned. j One of them Senator ; Morgan, of Alabama has more than oner expressed the belief tlxat another war between the United States and Kngland was inevitable,' and that the sooner it came the better for this coun t ry. . .Notwithstanding all the sentimental talk about the increasing brotherly re lations between the .great English -peaking nations, no well-informed man will 'deny.' that there is greater rivalry between the United States and ireat Britain today than ever before, and it is the rivalry of commercial traffic, which has drawn England into more w ars tluuv any other one thing. The commercial supremacy of the world lies between the two nations, and that cither of them will surrender the Held peaceably to the other is not probable.

The in dieations are that-there will be a large movement of hay from Baltimore to France, owing to reported shortage of !iay and forage crops in that country. It is said, that already the short age has reached such a point that many cit.tl have been slaugh tered," and the exorbitant prie of U and $50 a ton is being paid for hay in France: " Great Britain is also s need of hay, and considerable anxiety is said to' exist abroad regard ing the extent and .character of this year's crop in the United State. -Gill A: Fisher have chartered the British steamship Brumbaugh to carry 500 ton? of hay, a part cargo, to the con tinent.

Neal, President of the Loan and Banking Company, called the attention of a Journal reporter to day to an express wagon standing in front of his baiik, and being loaded Mith sixty-seven large bags of silrer. "Being Snipped to New York," was the reply lie made to the natural- query. "Do you owe it to Wall street?" he was askod. Not a cent of it. We have plenty of exchange already there; just can t use silver hero.'' We pay $1 a thousand express charge on this f:J2,000-of silver, and pay express on the currency which ve- gut in exchange for it.

New H ayen, Conn., JulylS. -The new comet has been photographed twice at the Winchester Observatory, Yale, by Prof. John E. Lewis. The first negative made, on Monday evening, snowed extremelv interesting details. The head is very bright and the tail streams out from it a distance of seven degrees. The tail near the head is shown to be composed of several branches, one of which turns at quite an angle a little distance from the head. About the middle of the prin cipal tail another one seems to shoot out from it, resembling somewhat Prof. Barnard's famous photographs of Swift's comet in 1892, though not so distinct. Another plate, made Tuesday evening, shows the head, but hardly any of the tail, as the sky war very hazy. ANOTHER COMING-. Ottawa, Out., July lo. Prof. 'Wig gins says that in two or three weeks a ve.rv brilliant comet will be seen in the northern sky. He had been watching for some weeks for a comet, which he said is the large variable fctar seen in Cassiopeia; as its: reappearance is about due. In 18G4 Wiggins announced that Gemma's star, usually called the Star of Bethlehem, was only a large comet at its ' periheion, . when its tail sur rounded it and gave it the appearance of a star of large magnitude. He con siders that his theory ha been proven now, for on the night of the 8th inst, he saw for a few minute?, between clouds and near the pole of the heav ens, a star of the sixth magnitude moving rapidly sunward, which he pronouces a comet, and which is seek ing a nearer perihelion than in. 1570. On its return from the sun it will be very brilliant. It is now, he says. prob ably below the horizon. . - - A COMPAN ION. Ban Joe, Cal. July 17. An import ant discovery regarding the comet has beii made at Lick Observatory. Pho tographic plates reveal the fact that the celestial visitant is not alone in its glory, but has a companion. The sec ond comet is enveloped in the tail of the first one, and shows distinctly as a nebulous-like condensation. Its tail also'' merges into that of the other. Director Holden and the astronomers on the mountain are much elated over the discovery. It 'was revealed by a photograph of the comet taken Thurs day night by Prof. Hussey, and can not be seen through the telescope. It appears, to move in the same orbit, ex actly parallel and at the same rate of speed. The discovery makes more certain the theory that the original force which throws out comets sends out more than oe at a time. This theory was before thought to be cor rect, from the fact that more than one comet has been 'found in the same or nearlv the same orbit.-. S'MORE SAMOA. Annex Is the Advice Given to England by a German Paper. ! BEitLiNJuly 14,1S1:5. The Yossische Zeitung says that the only practicable way out of the Samoan complications is to be found in annexation by one of the great powers and the removal of the native King and dignitaries. Eng land is suggested as the annexing power. It is reported that the signatory powers have directed their men-of-war to cooperate to retore order in Samoa. The Kreuz Zeitung will express the opinion tomorrow that the situation .is not favorable- to Germany..

Haiitfoiid, Conn., July 13. Sena tor Piatt, in an interview today, said. "Judging from my experience with former Congresses the people who en tertain the idea that Congress will assemble and repeal a part or the whole of the Sherman law quickly and then adjourn are , likely to find them selves mistaken. There are three con tested seats in the Senate, and the fill ing of them may-porsibly determine whether the Senate will have a major ity m favor of repeal. The first thing; to do i to determine whether the Sen ate will have a majority in favor of re peal. The next thing to do is to de termine whether the Sensors appoint- eu i.y. tne governors r wa.-.uijgior!. Y7yo:mr:g and Montana, after having their Legislatures try but failed to elect, are to be given their seats. If they are, the free coinage Senators will be one stronger than now. I believe the appointment of these Senators by the Governor unconstitutional and that ihey are not entitled to seats, it will take considerable time to settle that question. "Then it must be remembered that there is no previous question in the Senate and any Senator can speak on any question as often and as long as he chooses. Senators opposed to re peal will undoubtedly avail themsel ves of their right of unlimited debate ro its fullest extent. The Republican party must not be held responsible for legislation now. I need scarcely say that I have no confidence in the wis dom or capacity of the Democratic party either to enact or to execute wise laws." IR15Y IX A NASTY 3IKS!. fie Help ti Tillmanite Official in an Outrageous act. Laurens, S. C, July 14. Quite a sensation has been created here by the conduct of one of the TiHmanite coun ty officials. ' School commissioner Ludley P. Dav enport, when traveling in the lower portion of the county, stopped at the house of a young farmer, and finding the wife at home alone, made indecent proposals to her,wheruponshe scream ed and called her husband, who was a short distance from the house. The- school commissioner lied and consulted United States Senator Irby and Lieutenant Colonel J. 1). If. Shaw, of Tillman's staff, and through their influence a compromise was affected with the young farmer by the payment of one hundred dollars cash and a note for three hundred dollars more, in dorsed by Irby and Shaw. The Oakville alliance of that section appointed a committee of forty to re quest the immediate resignation of Davenport and to inquire of Senator Irby and Col. Shaw why they rendered Davenport assistance. The latter has left and his wher abouts is unknown here. Journal. A COMfKOMISK.

At Lat Iec!art ;al!altoi- in If isXat- PiTTsiHUiiG, Pa., July 14. The Chronicle-Telegraph published a story this afternoon to the effect that Pat rick J. Gallagher, on whose confession HughDempsey. Distrfct Master Work man of the Knights of Labor, was con victed of instigating . the Homestead poisoning plot, has made another con fession, in which he declare that Dempsey is innocent. Gallagher and Davidson, the Home stead cooks?, and Dempsey are now serving out their sentences in the Western penitentiary. According to Gallagher's latest confession it was not the intention of the cooks to implicate Dempsey at first. It was not thought of until several strong bluifs and a promise of immunity to them half frightened and half coaxed them into making the "fake" confession. David son was seen and corroborated the Gal lagher story. Dempsey 's attorneys will bring the matter to the attention of the Pardon Board, and an effort will be made to have him'released. The confession, it is said, implicates a number of people, and wher the whole story of the conspiracy comes out it will be one of the greatest sensa tions Pittsburg lias seen in many days. can: this be cholera?

William Steiuway has received from Emperor William of Germany the insignia of the Order; of the Red Eagle of the Third Class, carrying with it the hon or of knighthood, the first rder of the kind ever snt to an American citizen from the Fatherland.

To Cucrtdit here fnd numerously signed asking the repeal of the Sherman law. The letter is published in the Citizen today and is as follows: "Inmy humble judgment the Demo cratic party could make no more fatal mistake than to enact laws tending to contract the currency of the country at this critical time. I think the Bland law would restore confidence to a great extent. There is a determined effort on the part of the banks of New York to put the United States absolutely on a gold standard, What will be the next step of this school of financiers if we surrender unconditionally to the repeal of the Sherman law? Why, they will demand that the outstanding silver certificates b5 redeemed in gold on the ground that the silver dollar securing it is not worth a dollar. Sec retary Foster advanced this id in a speech at Delmonico's. I uia 'no alarm ist, but it looks very much like the government is preparing to make an assignment to the banks. to dictate the financial policy, at least. This was feared by many of the founders of the republic and gave them much anxiety, as you know. I am not unfriendlv to ... the banks, but think them indispensa ble in the transaction of business, of courset while I am in favor of re stricting them by law so that they may be a benefactor of the country and not an oppressor.; It is no part of the business of the government to irovide. for one class of men to make money at the expense of others. Hence I believe in keeping close to the old landmark of the Democratic party. We as a party have never endorsed, inflation and on, the other hand were strenuously op posed to contraction, though contract ion is going on daily. Very soon the millions of national bank notes will. be out of circulation and in addition, if. silver is to be eliminated c7f its debt paying quality, in God's name what is to become of men who owe debts? and they are legion. Ninety per cent of the business is done on a credit. A gold standard w ithout a sufficient gold currency means ruin, wide-spread and irreparable, in my judgment." RUSSIA AND AMERICA. They Should Combine Against a Ccmnon Enemy, England. New Y)i:k. July 17th. Almost to a, unit the Russian officers were delighted with the news that Russia would have a permanent station here, though it was remarked by several that the in formation was in no wise a surprise. From what could le gleaned the offi cers of the Russian vessels regard the permanent maintenance of a fleet of their own ship in American waters as the most certain way to accentuate a feeling of comradeship between the officer of the navy of the-United States and that of Russia. Russian officers now here, when in conversation with United States offi cers, have pointed -out that Kngland is the greatest enemy of -the United States of America They icfer to hi toi v. in thir argument to prove this assertion, and declare that no late events have demonstrated a sincerely friendly, regard on 'the pait.of the British Gbvernmcnt for that of the United States. Inasmuch, they de clareas England is the natural irK'iay of the United States and the greatest, enemy Russia possesses, then the L'nited States of America are bv th j n iture of thing bound in friendship against a common foe. The Ruaian officers here argue that from geograph ical reasons and the extent of territory of the two countries the jdgns all toint to Russia aud the United States finally possessing the entire world. 4 'You have," said one prominent of ficer in the Rus-Ian fleet within the iu: few days to a reiorter, 'your wild West.
