' mm OF THE WORLD.
Topics of Interest at Home
and Abroad.
Anarchy, Rapine and Murder Rife
in Morocco.
AJnorrible state of affairs exists in Morooeo.
Anarchy of the bloodiest character
reigns in the whole domain of Emperor
Muley Hassan. To avenge tbedeath of his
cousin. Prince Muley, who, with his
escort, was ambushed and slain by
rebels, he has let loose the imperial
troops upon the now wretched
and helpless insurgents with full license to
murder, torture, and outrage to the extent
of their savage desires. Old men, young
men, and children have been slaughtered
without mercy. The mothers, daughters,
and all female relatives of the rebels have
been killed or seized as slaves. The
wholesale slaughter has been carried on
until no more rebels exist in the towns and>
cities, and the bloody persecution has extended
into distant districts wherever rebels
are supposed to be. It is reported that the
Emperor has gone so far in his inhuman
work of extermination that he is now surrounded
by hostile tribes who may serve him
as he has served their allies.
News comes via Madrid, which is the best
present source of Mi rocco news, that
norrible outrages hare been practiced,
and to add to the public misery a
famine prevails in many distrieta Legal
authority is at a standstill. Gangs of
thieves plunder and kill without check.
The Arab priests are preaching a holy war
and advising the summary murder of all infidels.
The Reveil da Marac. a Tangiers paper,
calls on all the foreign powers to send
ships to protect Christians and Jews. The
accounts may be exaggerated, but very possibly
they are all true. One effect may be to
hasten the solution of the Morocco question,
which ha3 long waited adjustment of some
kind.
Fifteen Sailors Drowned.
Fifteen lives have bean lost by the strandinc
of the Norwegian steamer Bratsberg,
out of a total of twenty two on board. The
steamer grounded very near St. Felicite,
below Matane, in the St Lawrence River
in Canada, during a dense fog, and the sea
commenced almost immediately to break
over her. She had a cargo of cohI from Sydney
to Montreal, aud her bold filled at once.
Captain Neilson managed to get ashore,
and wired the almost total loss of his crow,
but without furnishing details. They were
swamped in attempting to reach the shore.
A good deal of excitement was caused, for
the names of the lost cannot be had.
The steamer went to pieces and nothing
was saved. There was a good deal of anxiety
for the fate of the other members or the
crew, for no craft could live near the steamer
while the present heavy sea continued.
Concentrating the Currency.
The movement of standard silver dollars
from the different mints and sub-treasuries
to Washington for 6torage in the large new
silver vault in the Treasury building has
begun. The shipments will be made in lots
of f500,000 a day, and will continue until the
vault is filled. As the vault has a capacity
of #100,000,000 in silver dollars, it will take
about six months to fill it at the rate of shipment
decided upon. The shipments will be
confined to the coin now stored at Philadelphia,
New York, New Orleans and San
Francisco. It is estimated that about $20,000.000
will be brought from each of the
cities named. The first shipments come from
Philadelphia The old vaults in the Treasury
already contain $08,000,000 in standard silver
dollars, and this vast sum will be swelled to
$lb'8,000,000 when the movement to the new
vault is completed.
Ill-Fated Communists.
A strange fatality seems to follow ex-communists
in France. The other day General
Eudes, while standing on a platform surrounded
by a howling mob making fiery
speeches on the commune, died by
tne bursting of a blood ve>sel. Again,
the day before that Citoyen Cenac,
another lieutenant of the commune,
was standing on a balcony making commu->
nist speeches to a socialist crowd at No. 19
dee uacnarriere, raris, wnen ne suaaeniy
turned pale, and to the great consternation
of the audience, just as he uttered the words:
"11 n'y a pas de Dieu," down he fell dead as a
hammer. The cause of death in this instance
also was the bursting of a blood vessel.
Grief and Shame Killed Him.
A special from Little Rock, Ark., announces
the death, under peculiar circumstances, of
Rev. Jesse Pratt, the oldest Baptist minister
in Arkansas. His son, J. R. Pratt, was on
trial for a penal offense, and the father
expre sad the hope that he (the father) would
die before the verdict was rendered. He expired
five hours before the jury came in
sentencing the son to five years' imprisonmeir
the penitentiary. Grief and shame
killed him.

PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
Commissioner Black Submits
His Annual Report.
Over Sixty Thousand New Names
Added to the Rolls,
The annual report of Pension CommiMioner
Blade, which has just been issued, hIiows
that during the fiscal yeur ended June M,
1S8S, ttaero were added to the pension rolls
60,252 new names (the largest annuul increase
in the history of the bureau), making a total
of 452,557 pensioners on the rolls at the close
of the year, classified as follows: 326,835 invalids,
92,U2S widows, minor children and dependent
relatives, 37 Revolutionary widows,
806 survivors of the War of 1812, 10,787
widows of those who served in that war,
16,060 survivors of the war with Mexico and
5104 widows of those who served in that war.
The names of 202-8 previously dropped were
restored to the rolls, making an aggregate of
02,280 pensioners added during the year.
During the same period 15,730 were dropped
from the rolls on account of death aud various
other causes, leaving a net increuse to the
rolls of 46,550 names.
Since 1851, 1,106,920 pension claims ljave
been filed and 737,200 claims of all classes
Lave been allowed since thut date. The
amount paid for pensions siuce 1*61 has been
$'.163,080,444. Increase of pensions was
grunted in 45,716 cases. The average annual
value of a pension at the close of the year was
$ 125.30, a decrease of $4.80. The decrease in
average annual value is due to the fact that a
large number of Mexican war pensioners at
the rate of 18 per month, which is below the
average rat ', was added to the rolls during
the year, and furthermore, that the death
rate among high grade pensioners was
greater than among pensioners of low rate.
The average annual aggregate of pensions is
$56,707,22(5^ an increase of ?3,882,571).
The amount of pensions paid during the
year was $78,775,861, an increase of ?5,308,
2S0. The total amount disbursed by pension
agents for all purposes was $7y,646, 146. The
cost attending such disbursements was in the
aggregate $3,268,524, it being a fraction less
than 4 per cent, of the total expenditure of
the bureau. The total amount expended for
all purposes was $82,038,386.59, being 21>$
per cent, of the total estimateJ gross income
of the United States Government for the
period. The total expenditures of the Government
for the fiscal year 1888 were $267,924,801,
so that the amount expended for and on
account of pensions was nearly 31 per cent, of
the entire outlay of the Government.
The average duration of the lives of pensioners
is sixty-seven years. The average
length of time served in the army by those
who are receiving pensions on account of the
later war is more than two years.
There were filed during the year 47,840 applications
for original pensions?11.780 widows,
2785 minors, 2446 dependent mothers,
and 1883 dependent fathers?making a total
of 65,704. _ _
The highest number or claims on account
of tho late war was received from Ohio: .Indiana
followed next; then New York and
Pennsylvania, and from Montana, Utah and
South Carolina none was received.
Up to June 30 last 26,581 claims were filed
under the Mexican Pension Act, 151,788 being
survivors and 0793 widows. All completed
cases of this class?16,529 survivors and 5195
widow cases?have been allowed. The rejections
were 2321 survivors' and 601 widows'
claims, mainly because the applicants had
not arrived at the required age of sixty two
years. Forty-three of these applications
were consolidated with claims already filed
under other laws. Of these Mexican claims
but 1892 were unsettled on June 30, the evidence
filed bein?j insufficient.
Over eighty-five per cent of all pensioners
are paid by pension agent* within teu
days after the quarterly payment is due.
One hundred thousand cases of increase of
pension under recent legislation have been
settled without expense or delay to the pensioners.
A table is furnished showing the total number
of special pension acts which have become
laws since 1861, as follows: 1861 to
1865, 41 (Lincoln); 1865 to 1869, 431 (Johnson);
1869 to 1877, 490 (Grant); 1877 to 1^81,
303 (Hayes); 18S1 to 1885, 736 (Garfield) and
Arthur); total, 2001, 1885 to 1888 1369 (Cleveland).
Grand total, 3370.
In the fiscal years from July 1, 1882, to
June 30, 1885, there were issued 191,221 cer
tificates of all classes, and during cne tnree
following fi6cal years 359,537, making aa increase
for the last three years of 168,316 certificates.

An Alarming Shortage in the
Wheat Supply.
Unseasonable Weather has Euined
both Quantity and Quality.
The sudden activity of the wheat market
in United States centers of grain speculation
has led to a general commercial inquiry as to
the crop prospects of Europe.
The harvest of 1888 is generally thought to
be one of the most curious in the history of
European agriculture, and is raising constant
discussions, and the newspapers are eagerly
scanned as to the latest reports of the
weather and the crops of Europe.
The general outlook as to the European
wheat crop is an extremely gloomy one.
Throughout the whole Western Europe the
climatic influences have been wholly adverse.
Especially has this been been the case
in England, which, though mainly important
to the general market as a consuming
rather than as a producing country, is a
factor in the calcu'ation. It is estimated by
competent judges that the English wheat
harvest will prove one of the worst of the
century.
The total estimated number of bushels is
about 60,000,000, so that England should be
dependent on other countries for about
160,000,000, were it not for the gain of 20,000,000
bushels surplus from last year's late
crop, which must be deducted from this
amount
England will have to import this year an
excess at least of 4,000,000 quarters over her
imports a year ago. The shortage in Italy will
be 3,000,oOOquarters and in Germany 8,000,000
quarters, making in all Europe a shortage of
certainly 16,000,000 quarter^ which will
have to be supplied from Russia, India, (Australia
and America Holland and Belgium
are not qnite up to the mark, with a deficit
of about five million bushels as compared
with last year."
In France also the wheat harvest will be
very bad, due to similar weather to that experienced
in England. Advices report that
new wheat is so soft and out of condition
that -it _is quite unfit for marketing.
Austria-Hungary and Germany nave only
poor crops, and the harvest ie finished.
The quantity is a fair average,
but it is generally of inferior quality.
Russia has a fairish crop, but there also the
weather has been very bad, and in both Central
and Southern Russia large quantities of
grain are reported damaged. Spain has also
a poor crop. No other nation has sufficient
areas under wheat cultivation to be entitled
to a place in the computation
It may fairly be said that from no substantial
area in Europe is there a wholly satisfactory
report
Should the weather turn warm and fine
the greater part of the wheat crop may be
saved. France will suffer more than any
other country and will find herself obliged
to be a large buyer.
The crop in the South of Russia will this
year surpass both in quality and quantity
anything we have known for fourteen or fifteen
years, says another report
The general verdict seems to be that the
year, on the whole, will not be quite so disastrous
as far as the quantity of whent goes:
it is the quality which is causing farmers and
corn factors to feel uneasy.
The European wheat crop this year will
not bear comparison with last year's; but
then, it must be remembered that the
harvest in 1887 was phenomenal, and
this will form a very principal
cause why the shortage will not be so
great as anticipated. In 1887 the harvest
was exceptionally good, but it was almost
two months late, so that operators will have
only eleven months to provide for, which
will make a difference of twenty million
bushels in the demand this year.
The European harvest is not satisfactory
in its quality, so much so that much of it
will be unfit lor anyimng duo loaaer. iae
demand, therefore, upon Russia and the
United States will be tremendous.
FATAL BOILEB EXPLOSION.
Victims Mangled and Burled Under
Tons of Debris.
An awful accident has occurred at Neenah,
Wis., by which fourteen persons were
immediately killed and many others seriously
hurt
The calamity happened during the burning
down of George Whiting's large paper mill,
on the island between that city and Menasha,
which took place at 11:30 o'clock in the evenThe
fire caught in the boiler room, in a
large quantity of fuel, shavings, etc. The
fireman, Peter Nelson, had been out during
the evening and a friend had worked for
him. About twelve o'clock he went from his
post to get a drink of water, and on looking
back into the boiler room found flames among
the piles of shavings. Before he could get
the hose or pull the whistle to give the alarm
the flames rushed through the room and
drove him out A large crowd soon flocked
to the scene, watching the flames devour the

hose over the bleach, and instantly an explosion
occurred, and ten tons of boiler

side track through a throng of spectators,
mo wins; them down like grass. The
immense mass of iron shot out into
an open lot two hundred feet away.
It Its pas age it struck the heads of the onlooking
bystanders, as nearly all the killed
and injured were hit on the bead. The scene
was indescribable. . The blow, bo sudden
and crushing, stunned those it did not kill
and maim. There was a moment of silence,
and then a cry of horror went up from the
multitude. The first strong impu'se to fly
from further danger was soon overcome,
and hundreds began the work of recovering
the bodies of the dead, and rescuing en 1 caring
for the injured. Body after body was
found, crushed and mangled by the timbers
and masonry almost beyond recognition,
A number of men, women and boys were
also injured by being hit by missiles from
the explosion.

being close together, and were taken to the

CLEVELAlTDrS MESSAGE,
The President Asks for Enlarged
Power of Retaliation.
The rejection by the Senate of the treaty
lately negotiated for the settlement and adjustment
of the differences existing between
the United States and Great Britain concerning
the rights and privileges of American
fishermen in the ports and waters of British
North America has prompted President
Cleveland to transmit a message to Congress
asking authority to suspend the transmission
in bond of goo>ls to and from Canada
through the United States until Canada
shall allow our fishermen to ship tish through
the Lomiuion in bond to the United States.
The President ites the Retaliatory Act
which became a law in March. lSSi", and the
mn in object of his messa/e is to ask for an
i. lOvumit.iffl now^N in
enlargement ui mo , ?
order that if he deemed it n-H?ssary and advisable,
he could put into operation a vigorous
and effective retaliatory policy. He also
calls the attention of Congress to the unfair
treatment of American c tizens who navigate
tho lakes and cana s within Canadian borders.
For whie Canadian railroads and
navigation companies share in our country's
transportation upon terms as favora'.le as
are accorded to our own c ti ens, yet in con
trast to this cond tion, anl. evincing a narro.\
and ungenerous commerci tl spirit, every
lock and canal which is a public *ork of the
Dominion of Canada is subject to tolls and
charges.
In conclusion the President says: "I recom
mend that such legislative action be taken as
will give Canadian vessels navigating our
cana s and their cargoes precisely the advantages
gra ited to our vessels and cargoes )
upon Canadian canals, and t tat the sa ne be
measure I by exactly the same rul? of dis- |
crimination."

SHOCKING DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Wealthy Connecticut Dentist Kills
His Son and HimselH
A shocking doable tragady has occurred
at Ridgefleld, Cona Dr. Archibald
G. Paddock, a leading citizen, a wealthy
retired dentist, formerly of New York
city, shot his own son, aged eighteen years,
and with the same weapon shot and killed
himself. Of late it has been the practice of
the Doctor to shoot at a target on bis
premises in the rear of his dwelling, his companion
being the son alluded to.
Their usual habit had been to mark and
set the target alternately, the doctor officiating
for the son and the son performing the
same duty for the father. Through some misunderstanding
as to signals when the son was
behind the target, the father failing to observe
that the boy had drawn near the mark
and was within range, discharged his piece,
and the contents entered the unfortunate
boy's body, killing him instantly. But a
moment was require 1 for the horrified father
to realize what he had dona He ran to the
spot where his son lay and gave
himself up to expressions of grief.
These attracted occupants of the hou?e to
the scene, who sought to comfort the afflicted
man. He declined to listen, and even
while the most earnest words of sympathy
were being spoken he knelt upon tho gr junl
over the dead body and placing tho:-ii.:zle
of the musket to his temple dischi-j< <1 it,
hlowing his own brains out
ONE MAN KILLS FIFTY.

A mob in the village of Antique, near
Hoilo, China, attempted to kill a priest and
Ofty of them were successively shot down
ind killed.
The only white men in the community are
i Spanish priest and another Spaniard who
ived some distance away on his own estate,
rhe natives attacked the priest, intending to
put him to death by torture. The other Spaniard,
who was quickly informed of what had
occurred, took his rifle And cartridges and
hastened to the rescue. As soon as he arrived
at the priest's dwelling, which was surrounded
by a mob howhng for blood,
he opened fire on the crowd. He picked out
tbe biggest and foremost men and shot them
down one by one. When he had used up
fifty cartridges fifty dead men lay before
him.
The natives,awestricken, fled in terror,crying
that the Spaniard was assisted by the evil
one, and that he had a gun that could shoot
forever without reloading. They did not
even come back to gather up and Dury their
dead. '
It is believed that had it not been for the
marksmanship and nerve displayed in this
case the natives in the neighboring provinces
would have risen and massacred the Europeans
living there.
