Secretary, Leunoxvillo.August 5, 1 AMSJRIOAN.New York, Nov.22\u2014A morning paper has a special from Washington which says that President Cleveland may turprbe the country a week from next Monday by a short annual message devoted to a single topic\u2014 finance.It will be an app«nl for legislation liât will remove the Treasury from the embarrassing influence of the Hue:nation influence of its gold, an appeal for a single gold standard and for the withdrawal «j greenbacks from circulation.Mr.Cleveland baa felt that the financial conditions, in view of tiie recurring necessity of securing bonds to maintain the parity of all currency, will justify him in putting aside for the present all other questions.Mr.Cleveland has had in mind since the last Democratic Congress refused absolutely either to accept Secretary Carlisle\u2019s suggestions ; a revision of the currency or to enact any substitute legislation.he President, moreover, believes that the Republicans, in the interest of harmony a year hence, will attempt to evade the issue and will insist that relief can be simply effected by reapplying the protective principle and raising the tariff rates.Mr.Cleveland lias felt that a clear-cut.easily under stood financial issue, should be made clear and plain and in the language of Secretary Carlisle \u201cnot obscured by ambiguous phrases,\u201d and thia can be found only by making the financial question the overshadowing issue from now on.Geneva, N.Y., Nov.22\u2014A new comet was discovered by Professor Brooks, Director of the Smith Observatory, this morning in the

the draw was opened to permit the passage cf a vessel.There were about 300 persons in the cars./ The current was off and the motorman a WoodUwn Avenue car, which was furthest from the draw, left his car without urning off his controller.The current came on suddenly and the motor slatted forward with a jump.It crashed into the car in front of it and pushed that into the car nraiest the draw.Meu and women screamed and jumped from the cars.The cars were pushed against the closed gates before the current could be turned off the runaway cars.The gates were strong enough to hold the cars from going into the river.One passenger was severely injured by jumping from tlie car.Emporia, III., Nov.22\u2014At a hearing yesterday before a Justice of the Peace at Dunlop, Dave Henderson, the

on Wednesday next to discuss the project of having ntw ranges instead of those at Cote St.Luc, which are considered unsafe and generally unsatisfactory.The bursting of a steam water pipe at the City Hall this morning created a sensation and the firemen were called.The flow of water and steam lasted quite a while and three floors of the building were literally inundated.Two hundred and fifty men have been discharged from the Road Department for lack of funds, but some of them have been temporarily re-employed shovelling snow off the streets.Mr.Charles M.Hays, the newly appointed General Manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, arrived in the city last evening with Mr.Seargeant from New York, where the had been attending the meeting of the Truni Lines Association.Mr.Hays visited his new

months ago shut and killed his girl, Célina Consigny.in a rendezvous, was this evening adjudged insane by the special jury which has been trying the question of his mental responsibility.He will be sent to the Insane Asylum.ONTARIO.Ottawa, Nov.22\u2014It is stated on what ap pears to he good authority that Major Gour-deau, of the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, has sent his resignation to the Department of Militia giving up the command ofthetroop.It is understood that a misunderstanding between Major Gourdeau and the heads of the Militia Department over the trip to Lowe brought this about.Major Gourdeau was absent in Montreal when the Guards were called out, but returned home on Saturday evening in time to take command.Meantime Major Bliss was given command.Major Gourdeau, it is said, complains that his command was unduly interfered with, and that he did not receive the consideration due to a commanding officer.It is to be hoped that the resignation will not be accepted, as Major Gourdeau has been an able and efficient officer, who has succeeded in bringing the Dragoon Guards troop up to its present high standard.Major Markham, Commandant of this year\u2019s Bisley team, has forwarded his report to thePresident of the Dominion Rifle Association.Major Markham makes several suggestions to the Association, the most important of which is a proposal to limit the eligibility of competitors for Bisley.He points out that year after year some comjje-titors win places on the team, it being exceedingly difficult for new men to secure positions.He thinks that if a n.an is limited to three trips in five years it will he a great incentive to young shots.Major Markham has also certain suggestions in reference to the messing of the team while in England

correspondent of the United Press in Constantinople telegraphs under date of November 21st, that telegraphic advices from ai&rash represent the foreigners there as being in great danger from attack by Kurdish raiders.A letter receiveil in Constantinople from Er-zeroum, under tbe date of November 5th,sup-plies abundant proof that the massacres there were begun aud ended by Turkish soldiers acting under orders, rather than by the populace, who followed the lead of the soldiers throughout.The soldiers and their civilian allies plundered 1,000 dwellings and 2,000 shops and killed 1,000 men, women and children.The Government, the letter says, is now endeavoring to restore to tbe people such of their property as may be available and to distribute some bread among the starving inhabitants, doubtless under inttrac-lions from Constantinople.A telegram received in Constantinople yes* terday says that bands of marauding Circassians are plnndering the villages of Missis and Piaz, near the city Adana, in Asia Minor, and also says that outbreaks have occurred in two villages near Angora.The United Press correspondent adds that it is reported in Constantinople that ten Albanian gnards were executed in the Yildiz Palace yeaterday evening.The Government haa officially issued a threat to severely punish any person found guilty of marking houses occupied by Armenians in Constantinople.One hundred and fifty Softas and members of the Young Turks\u2019 parly, who have been active in fomenting disturbances, were exported from Constantinople on Wednesday.The Government has issued an order prohibiting English newspapers of the date of Nov.19ih, German papers of the date of Nov.18th, and American papers of Nor.18th ami 19th from entering the country.Paris, Nov.22\u2014A despatch to the Matin from Constantinople says that twenty villages west of Aleppo have been burned and their inhabitants massacred.Tbe massacres at Marash, the despatch says, took place in the preseuce of the Turkish Governor-General, who did not interfere to stop them.Upwards af 300 persons were killed.The Kurds, according to this despatch, are gathering npon the Euphrates and preparing to march into Syria for the purpose of massacreing inhabitants.New York.Nov.22 \u2014A special to the Herald from Vienna, says :\u2014The conference which took place yesterday between Sir Philip Currie.England\u2019s Ambassador to Turkey, and Count Goluchowski, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General Ingra, Italian Ambassador at the Austrian Court, has tended greatly to increase tho optimistic feeling here.The alarming repot ts published by the Krtuz Zcitung on the subject of a Russian intrigue to detach Germany from the Triple Alliance met with no credence.A feeling of sympathy with the Sultan is again beginning to show itself and tho crisis, outwardly at least, is becoming less acute.A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT between two men or women generally develops the fact that one or both are troubled by sickness of some kind.One man is all right except his rheumatism, another has a \u201cslight touch\u201d of dyspepsia, another has bilious headaches, and another is too nci^-cus to sleep well.What\u2019s to be done about it?The situation is serious.Little things have a wav of getting big.Big diseases are bad things.Sleeplessness brings irritable nerves, loss of flesh, loss of appetite.Sleep-less people soon pet their bodies into such a condition that disease germs find it easy to lodge there and propagate.People die from the aggravation of an aggregation oflit- J tic things.The more promptly a disease or | disorder is met the more quickly it is cured.1 Most all sickness starts in the stomach, J liver or lungs.Rheumatism, scrofula, ec- j zema.consumption, come about because insufficient, impure or impoverished blood is present.The diseased blood finds the weakest spot in the body and a local symptom appears.If the impurity is supplanted with good, rich, red, healthy corpuscles, the disease will have nothing to feed on.If the proper cleansing medicine is sent to the seat of the trouble, it will force out the germs and repair the damage done.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery is a cleansing, purifying medicine, a blood cnricher, a nerve strengthener.It is an efficient tonic, aids digestion, creates healthy appetite aud healthy flesh.It docs not make people \"fat.\u201d It makes them strong.It makes iisetul flesh\u2014solid muscle.It will cure any sickness that has its source in the digestive organs, or through them in the blood.October 23 1895.SPORTING NEWS.The Diplomatic Clerk.\u201cHenry, you haven\u2019t a room left, have you ?\u201d inquired a New York drummer of his friend of many years\u2019

amusement, and which has been enlarged and improved for the coming season.THE QUEBEC RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB.The Committee of the above Club held a meeting last evening aud discussed the results ot the season.Considering the limited number of players belonging to the Club, it devolved upon the members to put in more work, and, although they have not captured the Dominion Intermediate Championship, they hold the Intermediate and Junior Cham* piouship for the Province of Quebec.The team upon their return from Toronto were surprised at the interest taken by the ladies in the Club, w ho tendered them an entertainment in Tara Hall, which will long be remembered by them ; this, and the gift accompanying it, places 1895 as a memorable year for the Quebec Football Club.The following retolution was unanimously passed :_ \u201cThe Club beg to tender their thanks to the ladies who assisted and carried to a success ful issue the pleasant dance given them on the 20th instant.In addition the substantial gift presented to us, adds another link to the many kind acta performed by the ladies of Quebec in the interest and support of the Quebec Amateur Athletic Association.AQUATIC.Galveston,Tex., Nov.22-Edward Hanlan to-day evened honors with George Bubear at Dickinson Bayou, by winning the fourth race in the series of five for the championship of England.Today\u2019s race was the best of those rowed.No accidents occuried.Tho men got away on an even start, but had not gone a quarter before Hanlan took the lead, at once increasing it two longihs, pulling à 40 sirokc.He was never caught and Bubear finished a length and a half behind.Time 1H minutes over a two mile course.Ti e deckling heat will be rowed to morrow and Hanlan is decidedly the favorite.The man who thinks he will advertise as soon as his business indicate that he can afford to spend money for that purpose very likely finds that it never reaches that stage.The saffron is valuable as a dye.It grows wild in many parts of South Europe.0953 1 4 THE MORNING CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1895.SEW ADVERTISEMENTS.Che»p Carpets\u2014F Simard.Wedding
