This was frequentiy done, and the great singer never once thagined that it was a neat trick to get him dis- play his wonderful vcice. “it is a fact when greai singers go off on an ouling iacy are perfectly prodigal in the use of their voice and appear to be utterly regardless of the 6ft-repeated injunction Or tdusic teachers thai to sing in the open air is, bad.

We have received numerous complaints from citizens about the conduct of young men and boys in the circle," said the officer... “They pursue the girls, pull and haui’ them about and hug them, to the gust of the good citizens and envy of the .gther boys.” Last night, the officer said, he went if the park and found the crowd thefe, as usual “Wasn't me,” said one of the accused. “I Son 7 Carer sitting ae bench near a jady and a gentleman, and beigg.a straaee T dint knew. the ‘rules.

The term “anarchist | propaganda” 1s construed to mean either | the advocacy or the apprebation after the fact of murder, pillage, arson or theft, | whether uttered publicly or in private. This includes private correspondeace and the dis- tribution of anarchist Hterature, even when not advocating crime. Persons sentenced to terms of upward of # year's imprisonment may be sentenced at the discretion of the court to compulsory résidence for life in a penal colony, such as Cayenne. The cour! will be empowered, If any anarchist case, to prohibit newspapers from publishing the whole or part of the trial, under penalty of six days’ to a month's imprisonment and a fine of from 1,000 to 10,000 franes. This last portion of the new law-is due to the extraordinary impression produced on the public mind by the mischievous abfiity with which Emile Henry defended his views from the dock. In commenting upon Henry's condemnation, M. Paul de Sassag- nae said: “This trial, by its publicity alone, will do more evil than all the revolutionary journals and all the anarchiai preaching could de in several years.” ———_-se+ New York Trust Compautes.

To persuns who have read of the maguiticent presents given to Bismarck by the cld empérot it has been a surprise to learn recently that his estates are heavily mortgaged. His present from the old emperor after the Austro- Prussian war of 1866 was $300,000, and with this sum be bought his palace at Varzin. After the Franco-Prussian war he received from the same hands the Saxon forest at Friedrichsrube, valued at $750,000, He in- herited the ancestral estate at Schoenhauy sen. On April 1, 1885, Bismarck’s seventieth birthday, his admirers throughout,the world gave him that portion of the Schoenhausen property which his father had been-obiigett- to sell when times were hard: ‘The money value of the gift was some $40,000, -Bis- marck is also a distiller, forester and the owner of a large brickyard. Despit all these advantages, however, he has found it impossible to lift the mortgages, amounting to about $750,900, which have tncumbered his estates for many years. Of ‘his gross income, more than $32,000 must be devoted every year to paying the interest’on ‘his’ debts. The burden is not agreeable to the cid chancellor, and he has often remarked to his friends recently that his ambition to leave an unincumbered property to his chil- dren would never be gratified. _ z ‘The men of fourteen Kentucky mines met gate the resources show an increase of over $6,008,000. at Danville, Ky., and agreed t@ @ compro- mise, thus ending a long strike 440d friendless on his trial he sy like to make a state- | | made a deal by which he a { “We hear a great/deat | the deseription court inquired. | | | | 31, 1894—-ITWELVE PAGES, — my IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “Just before I left home,” said Anthony Schilling of San Francisco at the Riggs Hause this morning, p's ttache of the At- “‘torney General’ etfs ects there from Washington to take ony in the suit that Mrs, Gen.

Notwithstanding the bellicose character of the late press dispatches from Shanghai there is a feeling in high diplomatic circles here that'a Way may yet be found to pre- ‘vent war between China and Japan. Semi- official advices have reached both the State ‘Department and the Japanese legation here copfirming the reports which have come fron Tohddn and Berlin to the effect that there is a strong movement on foot to have the difficulties settled by arbitration. I was told by a, well-known diplomat here today. who is in'a good position to know what is ‘going on, that Germany and Great Britain are co-operating tg bring about this result und» that th? outlook is auspicious. It is known also that these two countries have @uggested the United States as the arbitra- tor. The fr2quent visits of late of Sir Julian atmeefete to the State tment adds strength to these rts. Should the two countries involved consent to have their differences settled in this way it may be accepted as a foregone conclusion that the United States will act as arbitrator.
