6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1896. FREDERIC REVIEWS EUROPEAN EVENTS Journey of the Czar Only Increases the Growing Uncertainty. NO HOPEFOR ARMENIANS Little Likelihood of the Powers Preventing the Slaughter of Christians. THAT ZANZIBAR BOMBARDMENT Certain German Traders Rather Pleased With the Decisive Stand of England. [Copyright, 1896, by the New York Times.] LONDON, Exa., Aug. 29.—Nicholas IT bhas made his first appearance in the west and has retreated again, leaving Europe more uncertain about tne immediate future than before. For some reason Vienna expected great things of his visit. Even the official papers were inspired to say that political questions of the highest importance would probably be settled while the Czar and his advisers were in the Austrian capital. This seems, how- ever, to have been a mistake. All that Vienna saw of the Czar was at the rail- way station. When he arrived there people noted that he was pallid withan indescribably tired face. He looked very small and weak beside his tall, haughtily beautiful wife as she alighted from the train dressed in a obe of azure satin, heavily embroidered with silver, her hat, plumes, mantle, shoés and parasol of the same color, but without gloves. There to greet her, attired in deep plain black, was | the Empress of Austria, who had not been | seen in public by the Viennese before since the suicide of her son. Privileged correspondents observed that | the two women kissed and then began to | converse in German, while the Czar and | the Austrian Emperor spoke French. | Then walls of bayonets closed about the party and hid from view their progress to the Hofburg, and secluded them utterly for two days, while windstorm and tor- | rents played havoc with the street decora- tions. Now their Majesties have gone as | they came, and Vienna learns that not | only is nothing changed for the bel(er,] but at the formal banquet of welcome, while the Emperor spoke of “the new tie of friendship which unites us” the Czar | coldly refrained from edding a single | word to a bare acknowledgment of the toast. It had been said that Prince Lobanoff would remain behind at Vienna | for a week to arrange the details of some large and beneficent political compacs, but he too is gone. That there has been a hitch is only too | manifest. What it is no one knows. Only last Tuesday France was authoritatively informed that the Czarina would certainly | accompany her husband to Paris. To-day | it is announced from Vienna that she is | not well enough to undergo the fatigue of | traveling, and will remain in Russia, while | the Czar makes his other visits at once. | Although there exists a certain physical pretext for this, it is perfectly compre- bended that the plea 1s merely a pretext, for princesses are trained from childhood to undergo weakness and to withstand fatigues in the interest of dynastic poli- tics, to which plain people can afford to yield. If it had been aeemed desirable that sne shoula appear at Breslau or at Paris there isno doubt whatever that she | *would go. There is room for the suspicion that she will be too tired to visit Breslan, but will recover sufficiently to journey by | sea to France. This would turn the whole tour of the Czar 1anto 4 demonstration | against what is left of the Triple Alliance, and from Vienna’s conception of the spirit on which it begun there this seems not unlikely. ‘While the Emperor was toasting the Czar at Vienna the sireets of Constanti- nople were running with Armenian blood. Perhaps the tidings of this renewal of murderous rioting at, Stamboul had their effect upon young Nichoias’ nerves, At the beginning of this month Bishop Sat- terlee of Washington, on behalf of the Anglo-American Commitiee, obtained a personal audience with the Czar and Czarina and read to them a petition in- volving a full recital of the atrocities that | have been committed upoa the Armenians | by the Turks, snd though the Czar made no definite response the Bishop saw evi- dences that he was hearing a good deal of this for the first time. Previously the Bishop had been warned | by the palace officials that the mere men- tion of Armenians wouid suffice to pre- vent the Czar from receiving him, but he stuck to his guns ana even added refer- ences to Crete to his talk. Three days later the Bishop was received by the Dowager Empress, who revealed the fact that she had been told that. the intrigues of American missionaries had made all the trouble in Armenia. She was greatly touched by the Bishop's narrative, and when he spoke of the duty of Christian nations to interfere and stop these horrors, she wrung her hands and cried, *Ob, if they oniy would.” These incidents, which I have from an absolutely trustworthy source, suggest in- teresting thoughts about what may be 1n the Czar's mind now that Constantinople is again in conyulsions and a new slangh- ter of Armenians has begun, whic: will probably run its conrse all tbrough Asia Minor. The fact that a small group of Armenian fanatics deliberately provoked | this new cycle of massacres is insisted on & good deal at the moment, but it may be lost sight of later on. To use their own rphrase Armenians “wanted to thrust their finger in the eye of Europe.” One can hardly wonder that the spectacle of Cretans at once securing the sympatby and effective protection of the powers, while the unspeakably greater misery and martyrdom of their own people brought no heip, should infuriate the Armenians. It is true that they are nota likable race in the sense that Cretans are, but, after all, they are human beings, and their cup of wreichednass is running over. It is believed here that within a forinight the whole Turkish question will reach @ stage of greater gravity and more immi- nent danger than has exist«d before since the treaty of Bertin was signed. The Paris pressis running riot with wild suggestions for symbolical novelties with which to welcome the Czar. The unmeas- ured enthusiasm of those who want to be- have as if the Czar's visit were the great- est event in her history natarally provoked cool heads like Clemenceau to oppose the whole business with perhaps gratuitous sharpnes This disposition to criticize the value of the Russian connection altogether is getting hold of the French radicals gen- erally, and the fact that at Vienna the person to whom the Czar gave the longest private interview was the Duc d’Orleans d greatly helps forward the growing sus- picion in their minds that the Russian court party means mischief to the re- pubie, England’s Foreign Office needs long years for meditation over such a problem as arbitration with Venezuela, but it can settle such an issue as that of Zanzibar in three-quarters of an hour. There is no criticism here on any phase of that affair save regret that the island was not de- clared a colony off hand and without ap- pointing any new Sultan. Germany is in a position to be unpleasant if she chooses, and earlier reports were to the effect that triction was expected. It appears, how- ever, that the German traders on the mainland rather prefer to have England’s authority extended on the island, espe- cially as against slavery, because that angers the Arabs and tends to make them boycott Zanzibar itself and trade on the German coast instead. This practical view, it is believed, will shape Berlin’s policy. Those financiers in London who are con- cerned in Brazilian properties were ren- derea apprehensive this week by certain private news which they received from Rome. One large company about to be tloated found itself suddenly abandoned by the underwriters owing to a warning from Italy that trouble was certain, Nothing very definite appears as a basis for this scare, which is apparently founded on a general notion that the Italian Ministry will not neglect such an inviting opportunity for playing to the popular gufiery and that it will make a great show of bellicose firmness with Brazil. The Italians are very sore about the systematic esbuse to which their emigrant laborers have been subjected in thesouth of France and the lynchings in Louisiana have also made a deep impression. Nothing could be done as against France or the United States, but Brazil is a different matter, and no doubt a display of vigorous ac- tivity on the part of the Italian Govern- ment would be very conular. It is hardly likely to proceed, however, beyond the safe limits of diplomatic representations. Harorp FREDERIC. SAN RAFAEL PAPER CHASE Mr. Archibald and Miss Curry Give the Hounds a Merry Race, Galiop Up to Hotel Rafael Two Min- utes Ahead of Their Pur- suers. SAN RAFAEL, CaAr., Aug. 29.—Interest in the paper chase increases weekly, and large crowds to-day witnessed the start and finish, which were both at the club- house of the Hotel Rafael. Never before has the management of the hotel been able to so really interest and entertain its guests, for society actually appears en- thusiastic over the paper chase and locks forward with pleasure and eagerness to Saturday afternoon. Umpire Crooks started the hares—J. F. J. Archibald and Miss Frances Curry—at 8:30 o’clock. These two were the winning hounds last week. Fifteen minutes after they rode through the south entrance to the hotel the hounds started ata lively pace. Among the hounds were ‘Baron Von Schroeder, Frank Johnson, Frankie John- son, Frankie Glass, Miss Jolliffe, Miss Thomas, Mr. Dibblee, Benjamin Thomas, Lieutenant Burgess, Miss Barber, Captain Wegener, Mr. Boardman, Consul Aristo- movitch, Dr. Howitt, Mrs. J. J. Crooks, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Farnsworth, Miss Foster, Miss Warburton, Miss Wil- kins, Miss Gwin and Mrs. Johnson. The traps followed the umpire out of the east entrance and rode beyond the Donahue track, where they had a good view of the hounds as they wound around the hills south of San Rafael. Miss War- burton was able to follow but a short way on accounc of the sickness of her horse. This was a great disappointment to her iriends, who were anxious to see her win. Several of the carriage parties drove to In- spiration Point, one of the high hiils back of Mr. Johnson’s residence, and there a birdseve view of the chase on the hilis and marsh below was obtained. Gradually every one began to drive back toward the east entrance of the hotel, and at 4:30 o’clock the hares, un- caught, dashed into.the hotel grounds. In less than two minutes the first of the hounds galloped up. Dr. Harry Howitt and Frank C. Glass were about on a line, but as they turned to go through the gates Glass gained a little, so he was the first hound and Dr. Howitt the second. Mrs. Farnsworth was the. first hound among the ladies and won honorable mention. Mrs. Crooks and Miss Bruce had Jost the scent and had come 1n through the south entrance, which was not the course. In less time than it takes to tetl it Mrs. Crooks bad whirled her horse around and had retraced her steps until she reached tane right course, and, following it, arrived at the hotel the sec. ond hound among the ladies. The prizes were a silver-mounted bridle, compliments of J. C. Johnson & Co.; a riding stick, com pliments of Mr. Wegener, and a cut glass water bottle given by J. J. Crooks. Those in ecarriages to follow the chase were Judge and Mrs. W. W. Morrow, Mr. and Mrs, A. Foster, Mrs.’ C. B. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Sydney M. Smith, the Mistes Smith, Mrs. Gerstie, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Burke, Miss Burke, Warden and Mrs. Hale, Miss Sadie Hale, Mrs. Webster Jones, Miss Hobbs, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Glass, Mrs. Sontag and Mrs. Bovee, Andrew and Walter Mar- in, Major Tharp and wife, Mr. and Mrs, R. Spreckels. ENTHUSIASM RIFE. A'ger Camp, Army and Navy League, Enjoy a Re- unton. At its regular meeting this week Alger Cawmp No. 4, Army and Navy Repubtican League, was pieasantly and profitably en- tertained by speeches upon the issues of the politicai campaign, made by members of the camp, among them being Comrades Blattner, South and Jjones, the text of each being “Patriotism, Protection and Pros- perity,” apa all breathing a spint of loyalty to Major William McKinley for President and Eugene F. Loud for Con- gressman. The meeting was vresided over by Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Ellis. Miss Claire C. Denning recited ‘“Barbara Fritchie” and for an encore ‘‘Battery B,” and aroused the ola-time patriotism of the comrades present to a high pitch. The meeting adjourned with three cheers for McKinley and Hobart. The enthusiasm displayed by the com- rades of the league at their meetings is an earnest of the fact that theold soldiers are all right for their old comrade-in-arms, McKinley. ————— DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.

LAST DAY’S FESTIVITIES Society Amuses Itself in the Surf, Awheel and at the Races. AN ACCIDENT IN THE HURDLES Ope of the Jockeys Is Thrown and Suffers Injuries That May Prove Fatal. DEL MONTE, Car.. Aug. 20.—The Bur- lingame Country Club meet is destined to close in & blaze of glory, despite its unpro- pitions beginning. Everybody is more than satisfied, and consequently in high good humor. The dance last night was a great success, and the races this afternoon showed quite the old-time enthusiasm and spirif. Private traps were out in full force and filled with beautifully gowned ladies, and jollity reigned supreme. The good run- ning of the horses was greatly applauded by fair hands. A sudden, heavy shower of rain came up toward the close of the races, and though it dampened the pretty frocks and dainty parasols which tried so ineffectually to offer protection, it had.no perceptible | | effect upon the general gayety. ! Fortunately Jupiter Pluvius abbrevi- ated this manifestation of his power out caused more real merriment than any other, and.it was & good one. There were three eutries, San Mount led to the homestretch, when Ruby came up, passed him and won. Next was the two-mile steeplechase. This was the race that White had so much trouble in starting. Morgan G was de- cidedly the favorite at the pool box. All horses made the first and eecond hurdles nicely, but the water jump was refused by Jim Corbett. . Finally Maynard, his rider, succeeded, out Corbett * fell and threw the rider against the fence. Maynard wasuncon- scious at a late hour to-night, and his re- covery is doubtful. Dr. Shiels of Ban Francisco attended him. ‘The sixth and last event of the day was a mile and a half steeplechase. It was won by Li Hung Chang, ridden by Tobin. ———— e ] Salinas 'Enjoying @ Boom. SALINAS, CaL., Aug. 20.—The prospects of having the largest beet sugar factory in the world constructed here is bringing numbers of people from all parts o1 the State to Salinal, Not a vacant house is to be found in town, and many strangers are buying lots and intend to build immedi- ately.

SKIBBEREEN, IReLaNp, Aug. 29.— Some of the underclothing worn by White- head, the Irish-American dynamiter re- cently released from Portland prison, who escaped from the home of relatives the night after his arrival, has been found in the direction of Bantry. —ee NO SALE FOR SAPPHIRES G. Le‘evre of Chemulpo Talks of the Business Stagnation There. Something About the Scemes of the Recent Battles — A “Lonesome Place for Europeans. G. Lefevre, a merchant of Chemulpo, Korea, where the great Japanese battle was gained over tbe Chinese, is at the Oc- cidental, having arrived here yesterday on the steamer Rio. Mr. Lefevre has been two years there sin business and is now en route to visit his old home in Paris. He says business is poor over all that part of Asia, and he does not look for im- of compassion for frills and furbelows no | provement very soon. G. Lefevre, the Merchant of Chemulpo, on the Hard Times in Korea. \Sketched from life by @ “Call” artist,| 5 donbt, and the downpour lasted only a few moments. d One unfortunate occyrrence marred the sports of the day to thdse who were aware of it. One of the jockeys was thrown upon 4 hurdle that his horse refused to take and so badly injured that it 1s feared he will not recover. “It-was only a jockey,’”’ some one said, but ‘‘only a jockey” must face eternity, as well as the rest of the Burlingame con- tingent. The last day of the Burlingame meet was an eventful one at the Del Monte baths. It seemed as though the tanks were alive this morning, and that all swelldom was there. It was too monotonous indoors, how- ever, and one by one they filed out to take a merry dip in the surf. It was, indeed, a werry dip.' Every one seemed so jolly anyway this morning, and the cold surf of Monterey Bay doubly imbued the bathers with the idea that they were in for a pood time and that they must have it. They succeeded admirably. After the swim wheeling seemed in or- der; at least, the private wheels were oat en masse. One party of young pecple even went so far as to try to make the maze on their wheels, but gave itupasa bad job. After the dip in the surf and wheeling nothing was talked of but the races for the afternoon. Of course every one who had a private rig was going, and those who did not would hire one of the Del Monte. In the first race this afternoon Hobart's Lady Green Sleeves, J, 8. Tobin’s Mab and | R. M, Tobin’s Li Hung Chang went to the post. In all three cases the owners rode their horses. As usna! Li Hung Chang was no match for Lady Green Sleeves, for right from the start the latter animal led easily. Mab was not far behind the “Chinaman.” The -second event was a professional race, one mile and a sixteenth. There were three scratches, leaving six to start. | The betting wasbrisk. Duke Steven took the lead from the jump and kept it all the | way around without any trouble and | came under the wire fully sight lengths ahead of Trix. The time, 1:52)4, was fntkconniduing the condition of the| track. 1 The third race was a one-mile hmdlc':s | for the Del Monte c?. Only two started | —Hobart on his Gold Coin and Baggett { on J. Lawson’s Milkmaid. Milkmaid was | not in it from the start, Goid Coin win- | niny easiiy. H The fourth event was a “‘scrub race” for | ‘ponies or horses owned and ridden by resi- | dents of Monterey County. This race | *“fhe commercial outlook is very bad,” he sai.d. *'It is quiet ana there is nothing “that’ in any way leoks like trouble, but \there is almost no business. ~ All the firms in Korea are either Japanese or Chinese, with the exception of five. “'Of these five four aie in Chemulpo and one i Gensan. In Chemulpo one firm is American, one French and two German. Tt.m house in Gensan is Russian. The climate is very good except m winter, which lasts through Nevember, December, January and February, and is dry and cold, and July and August, when it is very wet. There is not much snow in that part of Korea. “The sapphire mines of Korea, which have attracted con.iderable attention for some years past, are not being worked now. Astothe copper mines, which are 8lso owned by'the Government, they are being worked. It is from these mines that the Government gets its copper to make into coins. “Upin the district of Ping Yang, in the north of Korea, are the gold mines, which have for a good while been discussed. The Government has just let a concession on them to an American company, and next year the mines are to_be worked. It isin the disinict of Ping Yang, you remem ber, where one of the great battles in the re- cent war was fought,” . Mr. Lefevre will go on to Francein a day or two. He says it is very lonesome for a Buropean in Chemulpo, and he is glad to get away for a while. e~ Pat Had the Last Word.

About $100,000,000 Worth of Eggs and Dairy Products Used Annually. “Feeding a City Like New York,” an ar- ticle by Jobn Gilmer Speed in July Ladies’ Home Journal, presents some in- teresting and astonishing statistics. For mstance, Mr. Bpeed declares that New Yorkers consume 80,000,000 dozen eggs par year, for which ‘they pay $14,400,000; 290,800 pounds of butter per day, costing $18,200,000 ver year; 297,000 gallons of milk, 5600 gallons of cream and 1200 gal- lons of condensed milk daily, at a yearly outlay of $16,250,000. Including cheese, for which $10,000,000 per year is paid, the aggregate value of the dairy products con- sumed in’ New York City is $44,450,000. M'r. Sneed-kflxes the valuation of the meats of various kinds sold to N yeTl;pt ldbfl“ 343-000;210& ew Yorkers each is does not inclade 200,000 £0 400,000 head ‘of waten ate o weekly. Upon a conservative estimate Mr. Egeed places the guantity of fish con- sumed yearly in New York at 45,000,000 pounds, not including oysters, clams, crabs and other shellfish. There are 24,000 bushels of potatoes so!d in New Yord daily, the yield-of a 90,000-acre farm per ear, the aggregate value of the tubers t:- ng 313,900,090. Other vegetables are con- tumed in like proportions, There are 70.000 bushels of wheat (flour) eaten ever week, besides large qénnm)s of oatmeal, buckwheat flour and cornmeal. The quan- tities of provender always on hana (the perishable goods being kept in cold-storage warehouses) leads Mr. Speed to conclude that were New York cut off from all the Koiuts from whence her food supplies are rawn ber Eeopla could live in plenty for four months, and even manage to get along for half a year without emulating the Chinese appetites for rats. ——————— A London Demonstration. A great demonstration of domestic ser- vaunts took place on the banks of the Ser- pentine in Hyde Park lately. Most of those present were women. The chairman was'a butler, and the speakers included & coachman, a groom, a housemaid, two footmen and a buttons. Their chref griev- ances were first the character system, Which they wished to have remedied by legislation making it compulsory oo mas- ters to give good characters when de- served, and next, the unhealthiness of the sleeping-rooms for servanls, Among the lesser complaints were having to be up early after sitting up all night while their employérs were at parties, the uniriendli- ness of the relations between master and man, while one of the footmen presented the novel grievance that he was asked to clean up the family bicycles. ———— Not an island has risen or sunk from sight in the Pacific Ocean in thirty-four years, and geologists say that nature1s resting for a future mighty effort.
