It is also represented by the same authority that Lord Salisbury the ex-premier, in a lengthy commu- nication from thecontinent, where he is residing ut the present, has coun- seled his successor and nephew to sanction no action in Venezuela prejudicial to the Monroe doctrine or calculated to give offense to Wash- ington.

TWO HUNDRED SLAIN IN RUSSIAN STRIKE RIOT Vienna, Dee. 18.—The Arbeiter- Zeitung to-day says a battle has vccurred bet ween strikers and troops at Rostoff, Russia, in which 200 were killed and 1,000 injured. ~The director declared he would drive the strikers back to the works with knouts, and 30,000 persons col- lected for a demonstration, Cossacks attacked the demonstrators, killing and- wounding recklessly. After the first surprise the strikers rallied and attacked the Cossacks. The soldiers were dragged from their horses, dicked and stoned and beaten to-death. Re-enforcements were sum- moned, The strikers pulled up trees ard with them constructed barracks. Heaps of stones and pieces of iron were collected and with these the troops were ‘assailed both from the barracks and the housetops. The troops made six attacks on the bar- racks, but were repulsed ineach case, Inthe ranks of the strikers were 2,000 women, who fought ferocious ly. Many of these proletarian Ama- zons fell victims of the Cossack’s lances. The next day an overwhelming army barred their way to the place appointed by the strikers for a meet- fng- The demonstration however, would not be set aside, and thous- ands of them swam across the Don and a meeting was held on the other side, during which Czar Nicolas was burned in effigy.

I will never have on my desk flowers from anybody for whom I have got a position, and they all understand it.

Watervliet Arsenal to Sandy Hook Proving Grounds, The 16-inch coast defense gun, which was manufactured at the Watervliet arsenal, has been shipped to the Sandy Hook prov grounds. The largest crape in the world had to be pressed into~service to load the gun on the boat. Under the direction of Col. Farley, commandant at the arsenal, the gun was loaded on a specially constructed car weighing 3 } ponnds and slowly moved to the arsenal dock, where, by means of the crane and a mammoth derrick, it was swung onto the barge.

T have just received the Roumanian Bulletin. No document equals it in cruelty since the series of laws with which Louis XIV. per- secuted the Huguenots. But even these, which have hitherto been re- garded as the acme of cruelty, are exceeded by those in the Bulletin. I cannot believe that right-thinking Roumanians or the civilized powers ean allow this condition of things to continue. It appears to be open defiance of law, justice and common decency.” : PRIEST WAS TOO REALISTIC. Preaches Sermon on Hell and Intro- duces Features to Heighten the Effect and Creates a Panic. A priest while preaching in the church of San Carles, at Naples, tried to impress upon his congregation, which was drawn from the poorest and most disreputable of the inhabit- ants, with the terrors of hell. With the view of heightening the effect of his oratory he had placed behind the altar in the sacristy confessionals @ man who, while the priest vividly de- -pieted_the torments, howled, wailed. groaned and raitied chains. The per- formance was so realistic that the congregation fled in te-ror, and many were injured in the crush at the doors. The police have warned the priest to abstain from his dan- gerous theatricals. Turkey's Unexplained Action. T Turkey is buying guns.
