THE PEACE CONGRESS
APPEALS TO THE NATIONS TO
ADOPT ARBITRATION POLICY.
t7rsre tiJcit Solution of the Chinese
Q,netIon British Election
Returns.
PARIS, Oct 5. The International Peace
Congress epitomized lt work in an" ap
peal to the nations, adopted today, in which
the congress condemns the refusal of the
British Government to agree to arbitration
or mediation in South Africa and ex
presses keen regret that the majority of
the governments, -who might have offered
mediation, abstained from so doing In
spite of the pacific declarations at The
Hague. Regarding China, the congress,
after recognizing and pointing out the
primary causes of discontent upon the
part of the Chinese, urges that the solu
tion of the conflict be Just and equitable
and in conformity with the unalienable
right of the population to dispose of them
selves freely. The congress also character
izes the Armenian massacres as the most
odious deed of recent times, and expresses
the hope that the universal indignation
of the civilized -world trill force the gov
ernments to find a radical solution. Con
tinuing, the congress points out the moral
and material injury resulting from for
midable armaments and recommends the
governments to study these questions, on
the Bohition of which, it Is asserted, de
pends the prosperity and the very exist
ence of the nations. The congress then
recommends international arbitration and
urges the conclusion of treaties making
arbitration permanent and obligators'.
It is claimed the congress has thus
placed before the world the basis for a
preliminary study of international differ
ences, as they occur, in order to facilitate
pacific solutions before Irritation spreads
to tho ill-informed masses.
THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.
TMrtjr-tvro Content Took Place Yes
terday. LONDON, Oct. 6. 1:80 A. M. Thirty-two
contests took place yesterday In the Par
liamentary general election. Most of them
were in rural districts. The cities have
not yet been announced. So far as known
however, 441 members have been officially
declared elected, and the relative strength
is as follows:
Ministerialists ...331Nattonallsts 60
liberals 77:La.borites 3
In the Stratsford and "Wldnos divisions
of Lancashire, Sir John "William McClure
and John Saunders Gllliat, who respect
lively represented those constituencies In
the late Parliament, have been returned
by the Conservatives with enormously In
creased majorities.
Sir Robert Bannatine Flnlay, Attorney--General,
was re-elected as the Liberal Un
ionist candidate in Invernossburg.
At ilaldstone. the Liberals recovered a
seat, their candidate, J. Parker, receiving
2200 votes as against 2162 cast for his Con
servative opponent, who represented the
district in the late Parliament.
Thus far, the Ministerialists have gained
23 seats and the opposition 15, which
would give the Government an additional
16 votes on a division in the House of
Commons.
Last evening, Mr. Chamberlain, Secre
tary of State for the Colonies, sent the
following telegram to a candidate: "Let
all patriotic Englishmen remember the
words of the Mayor of Mafeklng: 'A seat
lost to the Unionist Government is a seat
gained by the Boers.' "
Timothy M. Healy retains his seat for
North Leuth after a bitter fight. The
Xiiberals suffered an unexpected loss In
he defeat of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, In the
"Cockermouth division of Cumberland. Sir
Wilfrid Is the president of the United'
Kingdom Alliance for the Suppression of
the Liquor Traffic On the other hand,
the Conservatives made an unlooked-for
gain in Londonderry.
Uprising in Ncyt Hebrides.
VICTORIA. Oct. 5. According to ad
Trices received by the Miowera, the na
tives of Eromanga, In the New Hebrider
group, have risen. The news was brought
to Sydney by Rev. H. A. Robertson, of
the Canadian Missionary Society. He
eaid that during an uprising on Ero
,manga, 15 natives had been killed and that
the British warship Rlngarooma had gone
to the scene of the trouble. He had been
informed that the missionary teachers
had been compelled to hold their services
in caves and to build a bullet-proof stock
ade around the chief's premises at Dil
lon's Bay, Eremanga. In the district af
fected he said there were over 30 native
teachers, and besides himself there was
only one white man on the Island, which
is one of the southernmost Islands of the
group and about 100 miles In circum
ference. Socialists Threaten Trouble.
BRUSSELS. Oct. 5. The festivities ar
ranged for Saturday and Sunday, in or

by socialist demonstrations. The social
ists propose to gather Sunday on tnf
square In front of the bourse where tho
Prince and his bride are to witness a
procession of 7000 school children. The
.socialist organ, Le Peiple, call on
the populace to demonstrate that they arc
in favor of amnesty and universal suf
frage. It deprecates a disturbance of or
der, declaring that an Immense clamor for
Justice will suffice to achieve the object
in view. Nevertheless, the authorities fear
that the proposed assemblage of socialists
will lead to disorder, and are considering
the abandonment of the procession.
Gold. Found in Kctt South Wale.

ADVICE TO JEWS.
Also to Jevrbaiters on the Excellence
-of Charity.
Hearst's Chicago American.
A Mr. Palmer expresses In a rather vio
lent letter the opinion that this news
paper must be "owned by a Jew."
"OthorwiEC," writes Mr. Palmer, "you would
denounce tho Jewi as they deserve to be de
nounced. Instead of praislnsr them as you do.
Don't you know the Jews are natural enemies
of an Christians, that they are vlndlctlx'e and
only await a chance to punish any Christian
who may have offended them 7"
We quote that part of Mr. Palmer's let
ter which we think Interesting enough to
be answered. We omit some of his ref
erences to our own shortcomings for lack
of space.
Jews have their defects, as have Chris
tians, but they are Individual human
shortcomings, and not specifically Jewish
or Christian shortcomings.
Jews and Christians alike occasionally
disregard the supreme statement, "Venge
ance is mine, I will repay.'
But this much may be said for Jewish
history that no greater instances of
magnanimity have ever been recorded
than those which must be credited to
members of the Jewish race. We select
as a sample the case of Disraeli and
Thomas Carlyle.
Thomas Carlyle, a truly great genius,
Included among his defects dyspepsia and
deep, unjust prejudice against the Jews.
Standing opposite Rothschild's great
house in Hyde Park, Carlyle said:
I do not mean that I want Klnr John back
again, but If you ask me which mode of treat
ing" these people to have been the nearest to
the will of the Almighty about them to build
them palaces like that, or to take the pincers
for them, I declare for the pincers.
King John, as- you know, abused the
Jews outrageously.
While Carlyle was building up the repu
tation that will live for centuries, Dis
raeli, an ambitious young Jew, was strug
gling without help or friends toward the
position of British Prime Minister.
When the aristocrat opposing him for
Parliament loftily declared that he "stood
on his family name and his broad acres,"
Disraeli replied, "I stand on my head."
It was a pretty good head to stand on,
and it made Disraeli Prime Minister.
No one knew better than Disraeli how
much Carlyle hated the Jews, or how
much he despised Disraeli personally.
But none better than Disraeli knew what
great honor Carlyle's Intellect conferred
upon the British people. It may Interest
you to know how Disraeli acted when he
was at the helprht of his power, and Car
lyle an old man near the grave, was
leading his thoughtful, highly dyspeptic
philosopher's life In Chelsea. If so, read
the two letters below.
Mr. Palmer and other haters of the
Jews are requested to tell us what they
think of the conduct of Benjamin Dis
raeli, who strove so parnestly to confer
honor and wealth upon the man who vili
fied him.
Bournemouth. Dpc. 27. 1874. To Thomas Car
lyle. Esq. (Confidential.) Sir: A government
Fhould rocojmfre Intellect ft elevate and su
talns the tor" of a nation. But Jt is an of
fice which, nuacuately to fulfill, requires both
courage and discrimination, as there Is a
chance of falllrir into favoritism and.' patron
ising mediocrity, which. Instead of elevating
the national feellns, would eventually decradc
or debase it In recommending her majesty to
fit out an Arctic expedition and in suggesting
other measures of that class, her governmont
have shown their sympathy with science; and
they wish that the position of High Letters
should be equally acknowledged; but this Is
not so easy, because it is in the necessity of
things that the test of merit cannot be so
precise in literature as In science. When I
consider the literary world I see only two liv
ing names which I would fain believe will be
remembered, and they stand out In uncontested
superiority. One is that of a poet If not a
great pot a real one the other is your own.
I have advised the Queen to offer to confer
a baronetcy on Mr. Tennyson, and the same
distinction should be at your command, If you
liked it, but I have remembered that like
myself, you are childless and may not care for
hereditary honors. I have, therefore, made up
my mind, if agreeable to yourself, to recom
mend to her majesty to confer on you the
highest distinction for merit at her command,
and which, I believe, has never yet been con
ferred by her except for direct services to the
state, and that is the Grand Cross of the Bath.
I will speak with frankness on another
point It is not well that In the sunset of your
life you should bo disturbed by common cares.
I see no reason why a great author should not
receive from the nation a pension, as well as
a lawyer or statesman. Unfortunately, the per
sonal power of her majesty In this respect Is
limited; but still It is In the Queen's capacity
to settle on an Individual an amount equal to
a good fellowship, and which was cheerfully
accepted and enjoyed by the great spirit of
Johnson and the pure Integrity of Southey.
Have, the roodness to let me know your feel
ings on those subjects.
I have the honor to remain, sir, your faith
ful sen-ant B- DISRAELI.
8 Cheyne Bow, Chelsea, Dec 29, 1874.
To the Blrht Hon. B. Disraeli Sir: Yester
day, to my great surprise, I had the honor to
receive your letter containing a magnificent
proposal for my benefit which will be memor
able to me for the rest of my life. Allow me
to say that the letter, both In purport and ex
pression, is worthy to be called magnanimous
and noble, that it is without example In my
own poor history, and I think It is unex
ampled, too. in the history of governing per
uons toward men of letters at the present, as
at any time, and that I will carefully preserve
it as ono of the things precious to memory and
heart A real treasure or benefit IT. Independ
ent of all results from It
This said to yourself and reposlted with
many feelings in my own grateful mind, I have
only to add that your splendid and generous
proposals for my practical behoof must not any
of them take effect: that titles of honor are.
in all degrees of them, out of keeping with the
tenor of my poor existence hitherto In this
epoch of the world, and would be Un Incum
brance, not a furtherance, to me; that as to
money, it has. after long years of rigorous and
frugal, but also (thank God and those that are
gone before me) not degrading, poverty, be
come ln,thls latter time amply abundant, even
superabundant; more of It, too. now a hind
rance, not a help to me; so that royal or other
bounty would be more than thrown away in
my case: and in brief, that except the feel
ing of your fine and noble conduct on this oc
casion, which is a real and permanent posses
sion, there cannot anything be done that would
not now be a sorrow rather than a pleasure.
TVIfh tVianVn mnrft than nimallA' nlnrr T
have the honor to be, sir, your obliged and
obedient sen-ant T. CARLYLE.
Carlyle himself appreciated Disraeli's
character. After receiving the offer of
a title and a pension, Carlyle wrote to his
friend, the Countess of Derby:
Mr. Disraeli's letter Is really what I called
it magnanimous and noble on his part It
reveals to me, after all the hard things I have
said of him, a new and unexpected stratum of
genial dignity and manliness of character
which I had by no means given him credit for.
It is, as my penitent heart admonishes me, a.
kind of "heapinr coals of fire on my head,"
and I do truly repent and promise to amend.
There are Jews who lack Disraeli's no
ble character. We hope that they will
be Inspired by this letter to help the cause
of Judaism by emulating Disraeli's exam
ple. We hope the ChrlBtlnnp will emulate his
example also and endeavor to prove their
possession of the fine qualities which they
claim.

SERIOUS END OF A FIGHT.
Steve Flanagan Received What Are
Probably Fatal Iajarles.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 5. At the Indus
trial Athletic Club tonight Steve Flana
gan, of Philadelphia, ex-champlon -bantam-weight
of America, fell -unconscious
in the sixth and last round of a contest
with Jimmy Devlne, a local boxer, and
at a late hour tonight lies In a critical
condition In a hospital. Flanagan's man
ager, Bob Dejaney, Jimmy Devlne and
the seconds of both fighters were placed
under arrest, pending an examination ot
Flanagan's condition. According to thoso
at the ringside, Flanagan's collapse was
unaccountable. It seemed to moat or
them as If no blow had been struck.
Those sitting further back, however,
thinking there had been a knock-out, set
up a cheer. Flanagan's manager and
seconds jumped Into the ring, where De
vlne was standing over the prostrate
boxer with a look of astonishment on his
face. Flanagan was carried to his cor
ner. All efforts to revive him failed, and
he was taken to a hospital near by, where
the physicians expressed doubt as to his
recovery. At the hospital the case was
diagnosed as hemorrhage of the brain.
The doctors could not say whether tnis
was due to a blow or from other cause.
Some months ago, when Flanagan was
knocked out by Danny Dougherty, 10
hours elapsed before the physicians suc
ceeded In bringing him to. The opinion
Is expressed that Flanagan may have
been seized tonight by a attack of ver
tigo. Elites' Speedy Hoar's Ridlnar

AMERICAN COAL ABROAD,
Rapidly Entering- the Markets of the
World.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. In view of the
crisis in Europe resulting from the fall
ing off of the English coal product, with
the consequently enhanced prices, Chief
Emery, of the Burea.ii of Foreign Cpm
mcrce of the State Department, recently
addressed Instructions to United States
Consuls at some of the more important
points abroad requesting them to lndlcato
the prospects at their ports for the in
troduction of American coal. A prelim
inary report just published by the bureau
shows some astonishing results.
With several Important points heard
from It appears that almost without ex
ception the American product is rapidly
entering the markets of the world, and
In many places has overcome the British
coal, long regarded as superior at every
point One of the most Important con
tributions Is that made by Consul Hal
stead, at Birmingham, enclosing the re
sults of a competitive test of American
and British coal by the Metropolitan Gas
Company, of London.
The chairman of that company reported
that American coal Included 15,000 feet of
gas per ton, against 10,000 In the English
coal, while the coke was plentiful and
good. Consequently, though the Ameri
can coal was quoted higher than English
coal, It was actually cheaper. It had
been found also that the American coal
was superior to the Australian coal.
There Is talk of building 40.000-ton ves
sels for the express purpose of bringing
American coal to the Mediterranean, be
cause the freight rates at present make
the price of American coal higher than
It should be.
Consul-General Osborne, In London, In
commenting upon the arrival of a cargo
of American gas coal there, predicts that
during the coming Winter coal will rise
to from $12 15 to $13 36 per ton, or more
than double the ordinary Winter price.
DOLLY REYNOLDS MURDER;
Dentist Kennedy Trying: to Get a
New Trial.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 5. The appeal of
Dr. Samuel F. Kennedy, the New York
City dentist convicted of the murder of
Dolly Reynolds, is being argued beforo
the Court of Appeals. W. W. Cantwell
and R. M. Moore asked tho court to grant
a new trial on the grounds of error, In
the first trial and the newly discovered
evidence.
The people's case, counsel argued, was
devoid of motive, and the contentions of
the District Attorney that Kennedy killed
tho woman In order to obtain a $13,00)
check which was found on her person aft
er tho murder, and that the bludgeon
that was used for the crime was pre
pared at Newdorp, S. I., and carried to
New York City, were inconsistent. Thero
was nothing to show that Kennedy had
any acquaintance with Dolly Reynolds
other than a casual business acquain
tance. District. Attorney C. E. L. Barbler,
who argued for the people, maintained
that the killing of the Royndlds woman

RESCUE OF LEGATIONS
DR. MARTIN WRITES OF 1 THE FALL
OF PEKIN.
Imprisoned Foreigners "Were In Dire
Straits Bravery Shown by
the "Women.
NEW YORK; Oct 5. The New York
Times has received a communication
from the Rev. Dr. William Alexander
Parsons Martin, the aged president of tne
new Imperial University, of China, recit
ing the story of the Blege and fall of
Pekin as he saw It Dr. Martin first went
to China as a Presbyterian missionary, to
Nlng Po. half a century ago, and is wide
ly known as the author of many books
dealing with China.
His communication In part Is as fol
lows: "The rescue was the work of Christen
dom, aided by Japan, which deserves to
be admitted into that honored brother
hood. The British troops were the first
to enter, coming In by the water gate
under a portion of the wall held by our
Legation guard.
"The first visible sign of our great dan
ger was the burning of churches, mis
sions and legations In exposed places.
The enemy even set fire to Chinese shops
filled with foreign goods, part from hatred
to foreign products, but chiefly to tne
hope that the flames driven by a south
wind might reach the foreign quarter. A
tower of the great front gate was con
sumed on 'that occasion. On the day after
our flight they set fire to two imperial
buildings adjoining the British Legation,
believing that the flames would overlap
the wall, and so they would have done
had not our people repelled them by tear
ing down outlying structures and by pour
ing on floods of waer. How It fright
ened us to hear the Are alarm when 1.
meant a bloodthirsty enemy at the door!
So Imminent was our peril that even
women and children passed buckets from
hand to hand.
"One of the Imperial buildings thus de
stroyed was a grand ooach stand lor the
palace. And this was the Houlen Acad
emythe focus of learning and summit o'
the whole literary system; Its priceless
library, largely In manuscripts, was re
duced to ashes or trodden tinder foot
Nothing shows the bitterness of the de
termination to destroy us like the sacri
fice of such a monument
"At short Intervals every night and
often through the day we were subject
to a fusillade from many thousand rifles,
the soldiers taking no aim, but firing up
ward, in expectation of some shots failing
on our heads. Needless to say few tooK
effect. The same is true of the bom
bardment, in which hundreds of shells
burst in midair. Still in sorties and in
conflicts at critical points our losses were
very heavy.
"Not only were our men at their post3
of danger night and day, but the women
were equally on the alert and equally
brave. They made sandbags In great
number, using over 10,000 curtains of silk
and satin, as well as other costly ma
terials. The sandbags were used to
strengthen our defenses, many ot them
serving for parapets on housetops where
guards were stationed.
"The cheerfulness of our ladles did
much to encourage the men. All knew
that the enemy would give no quarter,
and that women falling Into their hands
would suffer a fate worse than death.
Young women requested their friends to
shoot them, and a mother of six resolved
to shoot her children and then to kill
herself. Stern necessity admits no argu
ment During an attack one woman
broke down and went into hysterics, and
one more went mad. These were solitary
Instances of weakness. In general, calm
ness and even hilarity prevailed,
"Our provisions were running low when
our troops approached. Horses and mules
had been eaten, and dog meat was threat
ened. Each night the attack grew in
ferocity. We feared the enemy would
escalade our walls, burst In some weak
point or spring a mine and blow us Into
ttfe.alr. On Monday, the 13th of August,
a soldier waked us to listen to the ma
chine guns of our deliverers. No music
could be so charming. Women fell op
each other's necks and wept for joy.
Yet our friends had to wait for daylight
to force the gates. This they did early
In the forenoon, almost without oppo
sition. The Chinese had been cowed by
frequent defeats, and now thought or.
nothing but flight. The Empress Dowager
and court fled the same day, intending
to set up a new capital at some inac
cessible spot in the far west
"On Sunday was held a thanksgiving
service donducted by an English chaplain
in the open air, assisted by Dr. Arthur
Smith.
"Through these trying days I was kind
ly cared for by the United States Min
ister and his excellent wife. To thom
next after God my thanks are duo. I also
take occasion to thank Mr. Squlers, the
secretary of the Legation, and his worthy
wife, for their hospitality. Mr. Bquiers
was prominent as chief of staff, devising
plans and leading charges. To him is
chiefly due the holding of tho city wall,
without which not one of the legations
would have been tenable.
"The Chinese Government Is lnoapable
of reconstruction, and It Is probable that
a partition will be arranged between the
groat powers. W. A. P. MARTIN.
"P S. The new Imperial University, of
which I have the honor to be Dresldent.
Is occupied as a barracks by Russian
troops. It is likely to shade the fate of
the Manchu dynasty.

PEAT IS A POPULAR FUEL.
The English People Find It Cheaper.
Healthier and Cleaner.
London Dally MaiL
Peat beats coal. In open fireplaces,
where a steady heat and not a crackling
blaze Is wanted, the old-fashioned bog
blocks have merits not to be found In the
best. Wallsenda. They are cheaper,
healthier and give less trouble.
This does not mean that you can shut
up your coal cellar, throw away your

ore still going to have dominion over us,
but a timely use of peat may materially
lessen the coming Winter's coal bills.
Unfortunately, the bogowners and peat
merchants have missed a great oppor
tunity. There are enormous deposits
available, especially In the north and In
Ireland, deposits that only want digging
and drying to make the finest fuel. But
they must be dug and dried in the early
Summer. Autumn will soon be here, and
no extra supplies have been prepared.
The few peat merchants ore already find
ing themselves flooded with orders which
they will soon not know how to execute.
A considerable amount of peat Is already
burned In London, especially In tho West
End. People after tours In Ireland or
Scotland get to love tho fresh, earthy
smell of the burning moss, and take care
to secure supplies. Some doctore are
fond of ordering It in place of coal, es
pecially In the case of patients where
quietness Is an essential. You can make
up your peat Are early In the morning or
tho lost thing at night by arranging half
a dozen blocks, and then go away, know
ing that It will keep burning for eight
or ten hours to come.
