PARIS, April 28.—The trial of Emil Henrd, the anarchist who caused the explosions in the Rue des Bons Enfants, and in the cafe Terminus, was continued in the assize court of the Department of the Seine today. Henri replied to the Jjudge’s questions coolly and impudently. He admitted he tried to escape, but in order to resume the manufacture of bombs next day. Henrl said: “I aimed the bomb at the center of the cafe, where the orchestra was playing, but I threw it too high.” Judge Potier here remarked: ‘“However, you killed ‘one person and wounded twenty others.” The prisoner interposed, injured only seventeen.’ n any case,” the judge continued, “you tntended to kill?” Certainly,” replied Henri, without hesita- tlon; “certainly I did.” “You took great care in manufacturing the bomb?"* was the next question. “Vaillant declared that if he meant to kil he would have put bullets and not nails in his bomb. You put 120 bullets In yours.” Precisely,” was the prisoner's calm as- sent. “I wanted to kill and not to wound.” “The jury will form its own opinion on this subject. They have scen the vain- glorfous cynicism with which you avowed your intentions.” “The prisoner here interposed, exclaiming hotly: “It is mot cynicism, it is conviction, I admit that I wanted to kill some bour- geolse and tried to kill my pursuers.” “And you desired to destroy a building?” asked the judge. In reply to this question, Henrl sald con- temptuously: “I don't care a snap for a building. I struck at the bourgeoise.” You mean you deliberately tried to kill innocent ‘persons?” 'No," exclaimed Henry, “no bourgeoise is innocent, crying: “No, T CERTAIN OF HIS FATBE. On the prisoner's refusing later to relate his connection with the Anarchist Chief Oritz, the judge warned him against main- taining silence, which caused Henri to ex- claim contemptuously, ‘‘Pooh, pooh, I am certain of being condemned to death, whether I maintain silence or whether I do not.” The judge then resumed, saying: “You are silent because you do not wish to admit that your hand, now stained with blood, took money from a thief.” This caused the prisoner to retort in- solently: “If my hands are stained with blood, so is your red robe. I am proud of what T have done—"" “Sit down,” crled the judge, sternly, and the hearing was suspended amlid the stir in the court caused by Henrl's insolence. When the sesslon was resumed a waiter of the Cafe Agelone, who was wounded in the leg, testified to seeing Henri throw the *bnmb. The other witnesses included Police- man Polsson, who was seriously wounded by the bullets fired at him by the prisoner, When other wounded witnesses appeared, Henrl turned his back upon the judge and affected to utterly disregard the proceedings. Thereupon Judge Potler reproached the pris- oner with his callousness In the face of his victims, many of whom were poor work- ing people, Henrl replied: “What can I do? I wanted to strike at the bourgeoise, and I am satisfled that I did so. As to my cool- ness, it anybody Is passive it is you.”" This caused another sensation in court. M. Dupuy, a house decorator, who was a witness for the prosecution, testified that Henri, while in his employ, absented him- # selt for an hour and a half on the day of the explosion, but the witness did not be- lleve the prisoner could have deposited the infernal machine in the office of the Car- maux Mining company on the Avenue de POpera, Henrl interrupted M. Dupuy, ery- ing; “I afirm that I carried it there my- selt.” THOUGHT HE WAS INSANE. M. Gaupil, a witness for the defense, ex- pressed the opinion that Henri was men- tally affected. This called forth an excited protest from the prisoner, whe asserted he was perfectly sane, The public prosecutor, M. Bulot, then ad- dressed the court. He was continually inter- rupted by the prisoner, who behaved so in- solently that the presiding judge was com- pelled to threaten to have him expelled from the court room. Henrl then obtalned per- mission to read a paper which he had pre- pared, explaining his thorles, and in which he declared himself indifferent to the verdict. He became an anarchist towards the middle of 1891, being disgusted at human injustice and with the delusion of bourgeoise educa- tion. He meditated becoming a soclalist, but love of liberty prevented him. As to the Cafe Terminus affair, Henrl sald that it was A reply to wholesale arrests of anarchists, He wished the bourgeoise to understand that starving men had no respect for human life and had no mercy In the war against the bourgeoise. Henrl's address ended with the words: “You have killed anarchists, but what you cannot kill is anarchy, which will d by killing the bourgoise.” M. Bostel, counsel for the prisoner, made An eloquent speech In Henrl's behalf. The lury brought in a verdict of gullty und Henri was shortly afterwards seutenced to death. The prisoner received his sentence laughing ind shouting, ‘“Courage, comrades, vive narchie He was removed under a strong escort of republican guards.

Paitl Gives a Large Party and Siogs for Her Guests, hted 1804 by the Arsociated Press.) LONDON, April 28.—With the exception of the Haymarket's premiere the week's theatricals have not been marked by the production of a novelty. The Haymarket novelty was, as already cabled, the first production of Sidney Grundy's play, “A Bunch Violets,” a revised version of the author's ‘‘Mammon,” which was founded on Octave Fuelitte's “Montjol.” Berbohm Tree's production was generally commended when presented to the public on Wednesday last, and the acting of Mrs. Berbohm Tree was received with a chorus of praise. “A Bunch of Violets” promises to be a genuine success and the first real success which Mr. Tree has had since he produced “The Dancing Girl” Mr. Tree's impersonation of the self-made finan- cler and alleged philanthropist is warmly praised, The leading houses continue doing a good business under the continual patronage of of the duke and duchess of York and of the duke and duchess of Teck and other mem- bers of the royal family. PATTI GIVES A PARTY. " Mme. Adelina Patti gave a large party on Thursday last at her Welsh castle, Craig-y- Nos. She appeared in her private theater as a singer in a ballet d’action, entitled, “Fidelity,” arranged by Sir Charles Halle. Mme. Patti sang the “Last Rose of Sum- mer” with flue effect, obtained by a new organ, which has just been erected at the back of the stage. During the miscellanes ous musical program Mme. Patti sang a scena of Wagner and Nicoloni accompanied her on the piano. The management of the Empire theater 18 negotiating with Sir Arthur Sullivan to write the music for the new ballet for that place of amusement. This is Sir Arthur Sullivan’s first venture in variety theaters and it is another instance of the tendency to draw upon high class composers for theat- rical and music hafl music. The second part of Shakespeare’s *‘Henry IV.” was revived at Stratford-upon-Avon on Friday in connection with the memorial performances, for the first time in England for twenty years, The Society of Authors intends to take up the question of boycotting George Moore's novel, “Esther Waters,” by cne of the large libraries. LANGTRY COMES BACK TO THE STAGE. The many contradictory reports circu- od as to the reappearance of Mrs. Lang- try In London after her prolonged stay on the Riviera have been finally set at rest by the announcement that she has been en- gaged for the leading part in a new play by Robert Buchanan and Henry Mur which is shortly to be produced at the Opera Comique. That no effert will be spared by the management to remove the stigma of ill-success attaching to the the- ater is sufficiently proved by the strength of the cast, which includes, besides Mrs. Langtry, Miss Rose Leclercq and Messrs. Fred Kerr, W. Herbert and C. Little. The pyrd ‘mew play is a modern comedy In four acts and the subject is treated on the most up to date lines. The first act of the play takes place in the garden of a bungalow on the banks of the Thames, the second in the morning room of the Dudley house, and the third and fourth acts are In the great draw- ing room of the New Haven house. A good deal of uncertainty still exists in regard to the production at the Court the- ater of Clement Scott's adaptation in three acts of Dufas’ “Denisen.” Sir Augustus Harris holds the rights of the play, and it is said Insists that it must be put on for a six weeks' run at least, whereas the syn- dicate behind Miss Olga Nethersole are, not unnaturally, averse to committing them- selves In this way. In the meanwhile, how- ever, no time fs being wasted and the members of the cast are being provisionally engaged. If everything turns out satisfac- tory, Lewis waller will play the hero and George Hawtrey and Miss Esme Beringer, who will consequently have to relinquish her part in “The New Boy,” will also be allotted important roles. TAKE A RUN TO THE COUNTRY. It is an established custom for London managers to take down their companies at least once during the run of a successful play to the Crystal Palace and Brighton, playing at matinee and returning to town in time for the usual evening performance. Thursday afternoon is set apart for these flying visits to the Crystal Palace and Tues- day afternoon for those at Brighton, Birmingham, it appears, will also be taken Into account in this respect in the future. Not long since Beerbohm Tree gave a mat- inec at the chief theater there with the Haymarket company, and now on May 3 Mr. Wyndham is to follow his example with “An Aristocratic Alliance." A matinee recently given at the West the- ater, Albert Hall, by Messrs. John Gray and Andre Raffalovitch, two disciples of Oscar Wilde, was chiefly remarkable for the number of theatrical celebrities in the audi- ence. These included Mary Moore, Florence St. John, Winifred Emery, Letty Lind, Olga Brandon, Violet Van Brugh, Charles Wynd- ham, Cyril, Maude and Weerin Grossmith. Much interest centers In the production tonight at the St. James theater of “The Masqueraders,” a new play In four acts by Henry Arthus Jones, which succeeds *The Second Mrs. Tanqueray May Uay Processions Prohibited, BUDA-PESTH, April 28.—The governor of Buda-Pesth has prohibited the proposed procession of workingmen on May day: The governor took this position because the so- clalists and others described the May day festival as a demonstration against the prevailing soclal system and it was be- lieved a large procession might lead to dis- turbance, Milun's Privileg: tored.

(Copyrighted 1894 by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, April 28.—The czarewitch 1s ex- pected here on Tuesday next enroute to St. Petersburg, and he will probably stay in Berlin a few hours as the guest of Emperor William, whom he has invited to his wedding, Inquiries have resulted in information to the effect that the German government will under no consideration consent to any propo- sition which would diminish German influ- ence In Samoa or elsewhere, and a change from the present attitude of tie German government towards Samoa therefore would only be in the direction of a German pro- tectorate over the Samoan islands. On the other hand, the German government is will- ing to grant to the United States by treaty any demands which would secure to America her present commerclal rights and standing in Samoa. This is the standpoint of Germany and it is looked upon as involving the honor of the German empire. . All the German newspapers comment upon the Coxeyite movement in America, and ex- press astonishment at what they term the absence of co-operation between governments of the different states to nip the agitation in the bud. At the same time nothing sericus is expected, the general opinion being the Washington government will make short work of any attempted disturbance. The Bavarian government, with the double view to prevent adulteration and to bring profit to the Bavarian treasury, has opened an extensive drinking saloon in Munich. This has greatly incensed the retailers in Munich. They clalin the government ought to be satisfied with the immense profits it already gets from the state brewery. In pursuance of his plan to suppress ex- travagance among officers in the German army Emperor Willlam has instructed com- manding officers only to grant permission to keep race horses to the most wealthy of tho officers and to suppress the custom of sub- ordinate officers making expensive presents. The empress of Germany and her children arrived at Potsdam from Abazzia today and drove straight to the new palace. The em- press received an innovation from the crowds gathered to welcome her. Emperor William starts on his Norwegian tour at the end of June. SARTHQUAKES CONTINUE IN GREECE, Shocks that Were More Violent Than Those Preceding. ATHENS, April 28.—During the usual Fri- day Epitaphion procession in the cathedral here a violent shock occurred that seemingly shook the building to its very foundations. The duration of the shock was fifteen sec- onds. The cathedral was crowded with devo- tees, who, when the shcek began, were on the verge of a panic. Every exit was hur- riedly thrown open and the people dispersed. At the telegraph offices it was learned that the shock had been felt throughout the coun- try, including the Islands of Syra and Zantes and that immense damage had been done. The shock was felt with the greatest severity at Thebes and at Atalanta, both of which places were extensively damaged by the last shocks. Both cities were completely destroyed, not a single house being left standing. Incalculable damage was also don= at Lamia, Larissa, Volo, Chaleis and Patras. At Lamia the walls of the prison fell down and many of the uninjured prisoners made their escape,in the confusion prevailing. In addition to the many persons rendered homeless by the previous shocks there are now thousands of others who will have to depend on the government for shelter and sustenance. There is little doubt that there has been great loss of life. Escape of Brazilian Refugees Confirme: LISBON, April 28.—The report of the es- cape of the Brazilian refugees who were on board the Portuguese warships Mindello and Alfonso de Albuquerque is confirmed. The Portuguese government has chartered the steamship Pedro Tercero at Buenos Ayres to convey the Brazillan refugees from Punta Aincla, Uruguay, to Ascension island for transfer to the steamer Angole enroute to Portugal. The Portuguese flag has already been hoisted on the Pedro Tercero and the Portuguese officers and marines were on board when the Brazilians escaped. On learning of the escape of the Brazilians the Portuguese government ordered the removal of the commanders of the Mindello and Al- buquerque, and steps have been taken to try both of these officers by court-martial, Demonstration Against French Ministers. LYONS, France, April 28.—Premler Casi- mir-Perier, M. Burdeau, the minister of finance, and M. Martin, the minister of com- merce, accompanied by many high officlals of the government, arrived here this even- ing in order to inaugurate the exhibition tomorrow. 'The ministers met a hostile re- ception from the Catholics In the streets. This hostility was caused by the recent sus- pension of the stipend of the Archbishop of Lyons on account of his utterances in re- gard to government measures, notably his denunciation of the law for the maintenance of churches. During the disturbance twenty people were arrested, but they were after- wards liberated. The clergy of Lyons were not present at the officlal reception of the ministers, Y R Italy and the Latin Union. ROME, April 28.—In the Senate today, replying to Senor Rossi's interpolation in favor of ltaly's withdrawal from the Latin union, Minister of Finance Signor Sonninno declared the government did not desire to see the union dissolved, and it would be a mistake for Italy to renounce the union, which was one of the links by which Italy could eotablish more active commercial relations with neighboring countriea.

It started in a barn, and several horses were burned. Heavy losers are: Marsh & Merchant, butchers; Geibel & Crum, grocers; Empire bakery; Boone Glove works. The origin is evidently incendiary.

Culonel Coit i'muelf was at Zhillicothie, Lut nastencd home. ¥ The train of soldiers at 11:25 a. m. pulled out for Mount Sterling. Two Gatling guns were on the rear car. Six cars contained soldiers. There was also a baggage car. It was surprise, says a speclal to the Dis- patch, to the Galvin army at 1:30 this morning when Detective John Mahoney and his man asked them to vacate the train. When he presented his commission showing that he represented the governor, who had given him special power in accordance with law, the Coxeyites laughed at him. They refused to hear the commission read. They met all demands in the name of the state with hoots and jeers. Mahoney wired these facts to the governor and said that unless instructed otherwise he would proceed to put the men off the train by force at day- break. He was told to do nothing and at 5 a. m. Adjutant General Howe and Attorney General Richards arrived at the train. After a conference with them Scott Chenowith, sheriff of Madison county, ordered the men off the train. The order was kindly made. Galvin sald he had no control over the men and was powerless to do anything. The sherift and state officers then walked along each car and ordered the men on each to leave the train. This having been done At- torney General Richards addre:sed the men, saying that Chenowith was sheriff of the county and the power of the state was be- hind him. “If you refuse to obey his com- mand to get off this train the state of Ohio will compel you to do so." When he had concluded Galvin spoke to the men, saying: ‘Men, I have no control over you; you must act on your own judg- in this matter. Each man must act for himsgelf individually, but I would advise you to obey the order of the sheriff.” Not a word came from the men. The sheriff then made a request upon the state for assistance of the military. Galvin sald to a reporter: “I don't see the necessity of all this trouble. All the men want is to ride on the train. They do not expect to do anything or anybody any in- Jury The trops arrived at Mount Steriing at 12:10 p. m. Adjutant General Howe imme- diately took command. At 1 o'clock the troops mounted the cars. The Galvins scrambled off and the train moved away. No shots were fired As s00n as the troops formed Sheriff Chen- owlith handed Colonel Coit a paper directing him to make use of the military in clearing out the men occupy'ng the train against the protests of the railroad company. Any person,” said the paper, “who re- sists you will arrest and hold subject to fur- ther orders. You will uke no more force than i3 necessary to execute this order. You will then guard the train and railroad prop- erty at this point until further orders.' Colonel Coit then addresed tho men as fol- lows: “Men, I have asked you kindly to leave this train. Your commanding officer has surrendered and now in the name of the state of Ohlo I order you to leave. I notify you that I will give you three minutes to get off the train and if you do not do so I shall use force, as I am authorized to do so,” and as he spoke he drew out his watch to count the minutes. He then started down the train and repeated his order, which was taken up by General Howe and other officer Several of the Galvinites yelled, “We sur- render,” and began to get down, but the mass of the men frowned and shook their heads. In the meantime the troops were moving Into position. The Gatling guns were aced s0 a8 to sweep the top of the long string of cars, Companies A, B and C were at the head of the train. There was hesitation on the part of the Galyinites. The man holding the ing the American flag on top of the forward car exclaimed “T'll stay til the last." Gen- eral Howe extended the timo and then Col- onel Coit took Company A and mounted -the car bearing tho flag. A8 soon as the officer veached the flag the flagbearer laughed and sald am a law-abiding citizen and will obey orders’” He forthwith proceeded to climb down. This was a signal for the rest and many others began to climb down There were numerous mutterings, however, d there were yet a few troublesome signs The stillness was heavy and save for the shouts of officers and escaping steam of the engines it was as qulet as a funeral ery strange sound caused a start and the worst was expected MOUNT STERLING, O., April 28.—The Galvin regiment of Commonwealers secured enough money from citizens to pay for trans- portation to Columbus, and left at 10:20 tonight.

The train was a speclal, bearing Gene eral Manager Dickinson, Assistant Sup:rin- tendent Baxter and a party of Union Pacific officfals. The Industrials were expecting the train and were ready to act. Immediately on its arrival the Commonwealers, by cof certed movement, took posession of the en- gine, and, in a few moments, had run the coaches on a switch, od the locomo= tive, deposed the engincer and fireman, in= stalled their own cngineer and fireman, and, within ten minutes, had coupled to the freight cars train, which they captured last night, and sailed out eastward with the army comfortably scttled in the freight cars. At Bridal Vell the Union Pacific engineer, who was taken along, was placed in charge of the engine. United States Marshal Grady, who spent last night at Troutdale, Immedately wired Brigadier General Otis at Vancouver barracks to furnish troops to assist him in arresting the Commonwealer: The Union Pacific officials were at once notis fled and Attorney General Cotton went be- fore United States District Judge Bellinger and procured a warrant for the arrest of all the members of the Industrial army for the violation of the restraining order issucd a few days ago. Two engines were then sent to Troutdale. One of them was turned over to Marshal Grady, who, with the wars rant, started in pursuit of the Common= wealers, The other train brought General Manager Dickinson's special train to this city. All of the trains of the road were ordered sidetracked to giye the Common- wealers the right of way. The captured train ran slowly to Bridal Veil, where a stop was made and engineors changed. From this point the Commonwealers sent a teles gram to the chief train dispatcher of the Union Pacific, saying they would cheerfully take care of all local freight business for the company along the line if so desired, TROOPS STARTED IN PURSUIT. When Brigadier General Otls received the message calling for troops he at once wired an order to Fort Walla Walla to prepare to intercept the train at Umatilla junction. A special train left Walla Walla at 2 p, m. with 122 men of the Fourth cavalry, under command of Colonel Charles B. Compton, The officers with the command are Captain W. E. Wilder, Captain J. R. Richards, Lieus tenant James Lockett, Adjutant George I. Cress and Lieutenant Vorhis, The command has ten days' rations, ample camp equipage and unlimited ammunition. The troops reached Umatilla at 4:10, and as the Indus- trials had not yet arrived, left at 4:30 for Willows, At Umatilla H. C. Mcans, deputy United States marshal, boarded the train. The troops are instructed to capture tho Commonwealers without bloodshed if pos= sible and awalt the coming of Marshal Grady for further orders. Their orders are not to fire first, and if necessary to fire, to shoot to kill. The comimand was accompa- nied from Walla Walla by N. J. O'Brien, division superintendent of the Union Pa~ cific; A. K. Bissel, local agent; W. D, Tyler, president of the Washington & Columbia River ~oad, and P. B. Johnson of the Walla Walla Union. BAXTER TELLS THE General Manager Dickinson and Assistant General Superintendent Baxter arrived here this afternoon on a special train. Mr. Baxe ter gave an account of the capture of thein train at Troutdale by the Industrial army as follows: At The Dalles this morning we had an intimation that a crowd of men were awaiting our speclal train to capture our engine. - We sent the four ladies of our party ahead on the regular passenger train 50 they would not be subjected to any ine convenience should such a thing happen. We started from the Cascade Locks at 8 c'clock, and when we reached Troutdale there were 500 or 600 men awaiting us, They made a rush for us, sidetracking our car and conflscating our engiue, Marshal Grady and several deputics were present, but it useless to make a protest, as the numbers were too great for us. Our engine was hurriedly coupled to the box cars on the track and the crowd started cast on a wild rush, regardless of any trains they, might encounter. They put their own en= gineer on the locomotive, and it is just pos- sible that lives may be lost by this wild train running into other trains coming from the opposite direction. We at once wired to the United States atorney general at Wash- ington, who informed us in reply that troops would be sent in pursuit of these men, When the train reached Cascade Locks the leader of the army kindly Informed the company by telegraph that they were hands ling ail way business. The Union Pacifio has sidetracked all its trains and left the road open for the tramp train, Governor Penoyer, who Is at Ashland today, where he opencd the campalgn fon the populist party, refused to call upon the militia or the United States troops to arrest the Commonwealers, The Unlon Pacific frelght train which was stolen by the Portland contingent of the Industrial army at Troutdale today was caps tured at Arlington, a small town 120 milew from Portland, at 6:30 tonight. The rails road company had already placed & heavy frelght train on the side track, and the speclal traln with the troops remained om the main line, thus effectually blocking the road. The Industrials, when they arrived, ape preciated their situation at a glance, and surrendered without offering any resistances The train which the Industrials seized ay STORY. Troutdale contained several cars of luw‘ merchandise. The army permitted the tratal
