THE SA PITIABLE FRIGHT OF CZAR NICHOLAS Glories of the Paris Display Only Increased His Nervousness. And the French Did Not Cheer as Lustily as the First Re- ports Indicated. PROTECTION OF ROYAL GUESTS. In Reviewing Events of the 0.d World Frederic Also Scores Lord Rose- bery’s Course. {Copyright, 1896, by the New York Times. ] LONDON, Exa., Oct. 10.—Itis hard to say whether what was seen in Paris this week or what was heard on all sides there was the most remarkable. Certainly the spectacle which Paris provided for its im- perial guests stands quite without par- allet. There were millions of strangers in the city, mostly provincial French. There were miles of densely packed crowds wherever one wanted to go, and leagues of costly decorations. When darkness fell an illumination burst forth on such a stupendous scale that it took away the breath even of Parisians, but everywhere in the panting, pushing throngs of sight- seers one heard people saying: “To think that all this is done becanse one little man appens to be the son of his father!” his remark was heard hundreds of times if once. It remains in mind, now that the lights are all out and the flags are disappearing, as a ¢’sw to what France really felt during the fetes. It all had to be done, no doubt, and the French were not the people to do it by halves, but this curious mental reflection on the strange conditions imposed by an alliance with hereditary autocracy seemed always up- permost. Among the people, doubtless, it found expression the more readily because a vague potion is spreading that the whole thing s part of a scheme to estrange the repub!l It required a good deal of mor: ourage for the Czar to make the Orleanist Princes, their newly found friend, the Princess Mathilde, and jheir ncely supporters of the houses of Uzes, Luynes, Rochefoucauld, Rohan and the rest, the chief figures at his luncheon on Wednesday, waich was the only meal where he had the naming of his own guests. The Paris papers said as little as possible In regard to this, but it was pri- vately talked about more than anything else. In the matter of physical deport- ment, however, Nicholas gave the impres- sion of being the reverse of brave. The oldest Parisian haa never seen his guests | “who passed everywhere within their streets, so walled with bayonets or civic horses at a sharp trot. There had been claborats arrangements Jor a state proces- sion to the opera-house, moving at a walk and with six caparisoned horses, each led by & footman, but at the last moment this plan was changed and the cortege was rushed through swiftly, Public rumor ascribed this to the terrors of the Czar, though much more likely it was due to the nervousness of the police authorities of Paris. All who came close to the Czar saw him quivering with a kind of stage fright, which affected him throughout the visit, His awkward way, too, both puzzled and annoyed the crowd, which had memories of traditions of an Emperor who doffed his hatand bowed and smiled when he drove through Paris. It was this that chilled the enormous throngs gathered to witness the Czar’s en- trance on Tuesday. It was well placed on the Champs Elysees, opposite the Palais de L'Industrie, and where the biggest crowd was. The papers talked of “tre- mendous cheering,” but really, save for the white-robed Tunisian Sheiks, there was little or none. By night-time the crowd had found its voice and could raise a sort of cheer, but at the outsetit was almost dumb. The Empress also at the beginning was white as a sheet and visi- bly trembling. She bowed as if she was a piece of mechanism. [t seems, however, thats e had been hideously seasick the before and was in no condition that norning for the ideal of facing Paris. She bad recovered, and she was inspired by her unparalleled surroundings to play ideally well ber part. Next day all Paris was talking about her. i 1t is nearly thirty years since French- men had seen a beautiful woman bowing from an open royal carriage and the sight went to their hearts. O!d imperialists wept openly at the spectacle and the memories it evoked, while the younger generation in turn was moved by this. The laying of tbe bridge foundation on Wednesday became _exciusively the Czarina’s affair. The Czar and President Faure took part in the ceremony, but the crowd had eyes and voices for her alone, She was affected to tears by the stress of the situation, but she bore herself mag- nificently noue the less, and hundreds of : thousands of people yelled “Vive I'Im- peratrice,” a scund which the Seine Val. ley had not heard since 1870. Vho chell say what results are to fol- low this extraordinary demonstration? In ordinary times Frenchmen talk a great deal about Egypt, the Niger and other English complications as 1f they con- stituted the principal items of French foreign politics. Now, for a week, one has heard not a whisper of all this. In the presence of the tremendous fact that the Czar was actually in Paris there cou!d be only one thought, and that one was of Germany. The statue of Strasbourg, draped afresh in mourning, was the point for which every group of viuiung provincials made first. In the Place de la Concord, the thought of ‘‘Revanche’” sprang up auto- matically in every mind as the uitimate meaning of these flags and fireworks, Perhaps some of the poignancy of terror that marked the seventies is lacking now, but ‘‘Revanche’ is still a reaity in the French, and “Egypt”’ is merely froth on French lips, If uext week France learned that she had been committed by ber Foreign Office to an Anglo-Russian combination, she would not turn a hair. butif the Berlin and Vienna press has failed to say spiteful things about her welcome to the Czar, and bad not -re- vealed the conviction tbat it meant mis- chief to the triple alliance, she would have been sorely disappointed. 1t is curious that while Paris was firing in honor of the Czar, General Trochu, the man whose famous plan for relief of the besieged city in the terrible year of 1870 kept all the world in weary suspense, lay dying at Tours. His Russian experiences dated back to a dangerous wound which he had received in an assault on the central bastion of Sebastopol in the Cri- mean War. The cry of “Vive 1'Imperatrice” might have reminded him of that critical day when be pledged his Breton honor to de- fend the woman who last bore the name of Empress of France. His so-called plan, considering the awful medley of material which he had to work upon, was unfairly criticized and ridiculed. The Trochu of that to-morrow men dream of in France will have ready to his hands different weapons indeed. Englishmen are still as much in the dark as ever as to what business, if any, Lord Salisbury transacted with the Czar at Balmoral last week. Public sentiment was a good deal attracted by the notion of an Angio-Franco-Ryssian arrangement, and certain signs of amelioration in the teeling of the Paris and St Petersburg press towara England are ceized upon wit . aviditr as warranting the belief that this is impending, Nothing has happened since the Balmoral meeting either to con- firm or to disprove this idea, and mean- while popular feeling is reverting to the after impulse to have England keep her bands free to act in Turkey upon her own initiative. This is what the English al- ways prefer to do if they are quite sure the continental powers are divided into hos- tile camps,and in proportion as Russia and France seem to be angering Germany and Austria by their demonstrative honey- moon, the British instinct to hold aloof and play between these rival alliances re- vives its force. To every politician of sense whom I know Lord Roseberry’s choice of an jssue, and even more of a time for a rupture with his party, is quite inexplicable. Pos- sibly there may be & mystery behind it, but to the ordinary vision he seems to be mwore Tory than Lora Salisbury himself, and he resigns his titular leadership be- cause the Liberals are saying what the Duke of Norfolk, the present Postmaster- General, does not hesitate to say at a pub- lic meeting. His action gives to the baser sort of Tory papers a chance to insist that the Radicals are using the Armenian busi- ness for partisan purposes, but this hardly matters, and really the same thing may be said of Roseberry himself. From the day when Lord Roseberry was foisted by an underhanded intrigue upon his” party these dispatches have maintained his unfitness for the position of leader, and for a year at least, even those who helped him to rise have ad- mitted their error. His retirement is of in- terest as saving the Liberal party from the embarrassment of throwing him out, but just now there is so little left of the Liberal party anyway that its officering is of slight importance. In the suitable surroundings given by a somewhat gaudy music hall stage, that of the Empire Theater at E tinburgh, Lord Roseberry held up to ridicule last night every proposal made by Mr. Gladstone for the solution of the Armeniin question. | Lord Roseberry’s speech consisted in great ]Fan of a dull philosophic and political | lecture, and this was varied only by ex- | pressed or implied attacks on Gladstone, Harcourt and other unnamed Liberals. These attacks were sugared by sweet re- ferences to the old man whom he was wounding so deeply. The speech is the most astounding confession of the impo- tence of England that was ever made in Euhsic by any English statesman. That ord Roszberry should have selected this | time, =0 dangerous and difficult for his country, to do this thing proves up to the hilt that he is neither a really great Lib- eral statesman nor a true patriot. An ad- mirable breeder of race horses, but a fee- ble, fluid and vacillating leader of men, he has done his best te undo any good effects the visit of the Czar to this country might have produced bv declining the practical co-operation of Russia. The only thing that was needed to complete the mixed comedy and tragedy of last evening’s en- tertainment was & telegram containing | the Sultan’s warmest thanks, followed by a suitable dirge for the dead and dying Cnhristians whom Engiand, according to the principal speaker, is now powerless to protect. i At the railway station at Lechlade, a | quaint, peaceful, medieval viliage far up the Thawes, above Oxford, a harvest cart was waiting Wednesday morning. The cart had yellow wheels and was lined with moss. Willows and vines had beea twisted about its frame. The loving bands of thr friends bore what once was Williani Morris from the train to this bed- of moss, and then gently to his last home under the elms at Kelmscott Church, which was decorated as for a harvest fes- tival. There was no other gloom or con- ventional sadness, and all was as the dead poet would have himself wished it. Up to late Wednesday night George du Maurier's colleagues, who were then as- | sembled around Punch’s weekly dinner- | table, had been led by the latest bulletins | from him to hope that “Kicky,” his pet familiar name in the circle, would live to be once more among them, with his glori- ous spirits and quick flashes of humor. Yet those high spirits had sunk some- what of recent months, possibly from fail- ing health. Du Maurter had never been | quite the same man since the publication of “Trilby.” That wonderful success brought never- ending demands on his time and energy, and his grea! unselfish nature could not resist. Du Maurier was ever haunted by a fear lest blindness should overtake him, and the misfortune of many years ago when the sight of his left eye was lost remained always before him. This par- tial deprivation of sight was in some sense a gain to the artist, as he had ro draw on a large scale on account of it, and those drawings became. in all senses of high value. It is curious that he was not the only artist on the staff of Punch who suf- fered in the same way, and 1t was a favor- ite joke of Tenniels that he and Du Mau- rier had but a pair of eyes between them. Something has been said of Du Mau- rier's cynicism, but never was there a gentler cynic. He laid a firm, kind hand on the weaknesses and snobbish philistine tendencies of the Englishmen of his day, but even those at whom he laughed were most ready to laugh themselves. He never took his literary powers quite seriously, «nl only regretted that o.hers who he honestiy beiieved were greater than him- self had no such successiul boom. He was the kindest of satirists, the most loyal of friends. Men and dogs all loved him, and it is not many winters since he waded through broken ice atsome serious per- sonal risk to save a little drowning dog. An interchange of courtesies between the Pope and the Queen has highly grati- fied the Knglish Catholics. The two are oid friende, for just fi:ty years agzo the then Mgr. Pacci visited the Queen in Lon- don. The Pope’s graceful congratulations on tbe length of Victoria’s reign have drawn from the latter striking acknowl- edgments of the felicity and loyalty of her Catnolic subjects to their sovereign. The saddest reports, I regret to say, reach me from the west of Ireland about the injury done to crops by floods and rain. The crops are practicaliy destroyed in some districts, and everything threat- ens a winter famine in certain parts of Ireland unless speeay relief is given. English members of Parliament have been peculiarly uniucky in the last few days, and no less than three of them have been badly damaged in carriage accidents, One of the three, H. Byron Reed, the member for East Bradford, has since died. Mr. Reed was a better journalist than politician. At one time he was editor of the Darlington North Star. Peovle have been found who suggest that Mr. Glad- stone should fill Mr. Reed’s now vacant place, but it is in the highest degree im- probable that such a course will be adopted. hat with an international political explosion and a furious outside warring of the elements, bricging the storms and wrecks of the week jusi passed, English- men would almost have forgotten Ger- many and their candid critical friend, the German Emperor, were it not for the fact that they have been steadily rubbed the wrong way by the virulent attacks of the Hamburger Nachrichten on the defective material organization of the Britisn army. The last of these attacks characterizes the British as_intriguers, who ‘are constantl undermining the peace of Europe, and it jubilantly vroclaims that the British army is insufficient to protect the mother country or the colonies. More of this from the same source may confidently be expected, especially as British writers are asking with malice what may be the na- ture of the secret understanding between the Emperor and the Sultan, which they decline to believe is confined solely woa courteous interchange of photographs. HazoLp IMUCH SYMPATHY FOR THE CASTLES Letters and Telegrams Are Yet Sent to the Embassy. Bayard Approves the Action Taken by First Secretary Roosevelt. THE HU:BAND BREAKS DOWN And the Accused Woman Is Much De- pressad and Suff:rs From Acute Pains in the Head. LONDON, Exg., Oct. 10.—Letters and telegrams of sympathy with Mr. and Mrs. Castle, the Americans who were arrested on October 7 on the charge of stealing a number of valuable furs, continue to ar- rive at the United States embassy. Em- bassador Bayard has given his full ap- proval of the action taken by Secretary Roosevelt in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Castle, and the Scotland Yard authorities also approve his course. A London physician, who recently attended Mrs. Castle profes- sionally, will testify when the case comes up in the Great Marlborough-street Police Courton Tuesday, October 13, that Mrs. Castle has been suffering from acute head- ache and a feeling of intense fatgue, ai- though she has not undergene any exer- tion. Secretary Roosevelt visited Mr. and Mrs. Castle in Halloway Jail last evening. He found the husband completely broken down. Mr. Castle said to Mr. Roosevelt that he wished to thank his many friends in the United States and England for their sympathy and kindness, and to assure them that their confidence in him would never be misplaced. Mrs. Castle is very much depressed and suffered to-day from acute pains in the head. It was impossible to hold an in- terview with her for any length of time and her mental condition was very un- atisfactory. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 10.—A dispatch to-morning paper from London concern- ing the arrest there of Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Castle says: Their solicitor frankly admitted Mrs. Castle’s guilt. Michael Abrahams, their solicitor, is a criminal lawyer of wide ex- perience and great ability. He declared to-day: “I have had herexamined by some lead- ing specialists in mental disorders and have no doubt that the Judge will admit that her symptoms are such as to warrant a defense of kleptomania. “She suffers from pain in the head, from complete loss of memory and from other singularities, which, accord- ing to medical science, are well known to be frequently associated with delusions. Her case will be decided in a month or six weeks. We shail apply for bail for her again next Wednesday, and I hope she will be released on the bond we can offer. “The whole fact of the matter, in short is, that Mrs. Castle did take these articles, but her husband is “perfectly innocent of any knowledge whatever of her doing so.” LIKE A FAMILY WELCOME Czar and Czarina Greeted Upon Their Arrival in West- ern Germany. ’ Evangelical Ciergy of Hesse Decline to Take Any Share in the Recepticn. DARMSTADT, GERMANY, Oct. 10.—The Czar and Czarina arrived here at 9 o’clock this morning. A Jarge crowd of people assembled at the station and greeted their arrival with hearty cheers. Their ma- jesties entered a carriage and were driven to the new palace. Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, brother of the Czarina, has appointed the Czar Lonorary colonel of the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Hessian Dragoons of the German army. The reception of the Czar and Czarina et the railway station par- took more of the nature of a family wel- come than a state function. Later there was a more ceremonious re- ception at the palace, to which all the high state and military officersand church dignitaries were invited. The Czarina, wnen Princess Alix of Hesse, was a Lutheran, but subsequent to her be- trothal to the Czar she changed her re- ligion, becoming a member of the ortho- dox Greek church. Theevangelical clergy of Hesse did not npprove of this step and they, therefore, declined to take any share 1n the reception to their Majesties to-day. —_—— FATHER BTRICKLAND'S BOUK. 1t Contains Some New Information Re- lating to British Claims in Venezuela. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 10.—Father Strick- land has issued a book on the Venezuelan boundary, based on documents and maps found in the archives of the Capuchin order. The book tends to the conclusion that the rights of Great Britain as far as the Schomburgk line are irrefragable, and that regarding the region beyond the line Great Britain had as much right as Venezuela. The documents establish indubitably the Dutck right on the whole coast to and including Point Barima, and also the parts far in the hinterland. They show that tbere_ are certain tracts in different parts of Venezuela and Guiana which were not seized by either the Dutch or Spaniards, and the present ownership of these, Father Strickland contends, ‘can only be settled by diplomacy or arbitra- tion. S NEWS FROM FAIE HAWAIL Demonstration of Royalist Natives at Joseph Nawnhi’s Funeral. HONOLULU, Hawai, Oct. 8. — The funeral of Joseph Nawahi, a prominent royalist, on the 30th ult., was made the occasion of some demonstration of senti- ment by royalist natives, about 600 of whom were formed in the procession, two- thirds of them women. A large number additional went to the wharl. As the steamer conveying the remains to Hilo touched at Maui, the royalists there piled flowers aboard. Nawahi having been a FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1896 cabinet minister, the Government sent the band and alarge escort of police to head the procession. The Freuch frigate Dugunay-Trouin ar- rived at Honolulu September 28 from Tinhiti, and sailed October 2 for San Fran- cisco. Hon.C.R. Bishop hasauthorized the trus- tees of the Bishop Museum to spend $750,- 000 in founding an aquarium at Honolulu for the scientific study of marine life in the Paeific. It is intended to excel any other ¢¥nrium in the world. Professor W. F. Brigham has just returned from visiting Eucpean aquariums, and is pre- pared tocomplete the plans. Marine life will be gathered from all parts of the Pacific. A corps of professors will be maintained, and students will be expected from Europe and America. Judge S. L. Austin of Hilo died from apoplexy, October 2. e MINISTER TERRELL FIRM. Declares That It Is the Duty of the Turkish Police to Guard the Legation With- out a Request. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEy, Oct. 10.— United States Minister Terrell denies that he has made any request to the Porte in benalf of his Government for the admis- sion of the United States gunboat Ban- croft through the Dardanelles, but he ex- presses hooe that arrangements were made for her admission before the Bancroft started from America for Turkish waters. Mr. Terrell 1s the only diplomat who has left the protection of Therapia. He is living in Pera and the American lega- tion is the only one that is not guarded. Mr. Terrell has pointed out the houses of Americans which require special guards, but has declared to the Turkish police that it is their duty to guard the legation without a request. . CONCEALED BY A FIRE. During @ Blaze in a Oustom-House a Thief Makes a Big Haul. ST. JOHNS, N. B., Oct. 10,—During a fire in the custom-house last Monday, which for a time it was thought would de- stroy the whole building, there was much excitemnent. To-day it was discovered that during the confusion of the fire be- tween $5000 and $10,000 was stolen. It'is believed that the culprit is one of the offi- cials of the customs department and that he started the fire in order to perpetrate the robbery without suspicion falling upon him. SPANISH ATTACK REBELS Cuban Insurgents Suffer a Severe Defeat in Santiago Province. At Least Weyler’s Minions So Report, but Later Stories May Lessen the Victory. HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 10.—The forces of General Toral, acting in conjunction with those of Major Lanzagorta, have had a fierce engagement with 500 rebels at Villanes, province of Santiago ae Cuba. According to the official report troops charged the rebels’ position, which the lat- ter strongly defended from behind stone walls and from a stone fort on top of “the Camicho hills. The troops then advanced and captured the rebel camp. Twenty insurgents were found dead in the field. Many wounded were carried by the rebels on their retreat. The Spanish 1oss was two lieutenants and a corporal killed and twelve wounded. Two captains, a lientenant and eight pri- vates received contusions. Rebels attacked the Manacas detach- ment stationed on the central trocha. but were repulsed. The troops lost one killed and five wounded. Three bombs were exploded to-day un- der a train in the province of Matanzas. Two cars were derailed and a soldier was wounded. The Government has temporarily closed the Puerto Principe institute. AR B @ AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Diplomats Meet to Consider the Vexed Venezuelan Question. LONDON, Exeraxp, Oct. 10.—Lord Sal- isbury arrived at the Foreign Office at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Sir Julian Paun- cefote, British Embassador to the United States, arrived ten minutes later and was atonce admitted to conference with the Premier. Mr. Chamberlain arrivedat 3:30 P. M. The Venezuelan question is the matter that was probably discussed at the confer- ence. Itisstated that important results may be the outcome. The conference was a lengthy one. Not Degraded by Serving Turkey. LONDON, Exa,, Oct. 10.—The Central News says that Enclish officers in the Ottoman army emphatically deny the re- port _that they feel degraded in serving the Turks, and denounce as baseless the charges that the troops are murdering women and children. —_—— Du Maurier's Bemains Cremated.

Studebaker and F. L. ‘Wagar, members of the National Asso- ciation of American Mannufacturers, who have in Argentine Republic investi- gating the possibilities of establiching an American bank and other American enterprises in that country, were passen- gers on the St. Louis which arrived to- day. They say that the absence of Ameri- can steamship lines and American banks there will probably prevent the invest- ment of more American capital than is now invested. Americans do about $10,000 worth of trading at the present time with the republic in twelve months. England am"li ermany get the better part of the trade. e Cardinal Satolli’s Tour. HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 10.— Cardinal Archbishop Satolli arrived here to-day, and is the guest of Rev. Father O'Keefe.

Could Not Conceal His Wrath Upon Learning of the Words of the Czar. WHAT “PRECIOUS BONDS”MEANS Important German Legislation Consid- ered at a Meeting of the Crown Council. BERLIN, GerMaNy, Oct. 10.—The Kron- rath, or Crown Council, which was held at Hubertusstock on Wednesday at the sum- mons of the Kaiser was a very important event, inasmuch as it formulated the pol- icy of the Government in regard tothe legislation which is to be submitted to the Reichstag at the next session of that body, on November 10. Buach a council is very rare, only two be- ing held since 1890, when a Kronrath pre- ceded the dissolution of the Reichstag and the resignation of Prince Bismarck from the Imperial Chancellorship. It is learned by the United Associated Presses that the council held this week was summoned by the Emperor at the direction of Prince Hohenlohe, who believes that the gravest issues depend upon the coming session of the Reichstag. The ministers who at- tended the council were unanimous in the belief that the present Reichstag will re- fuse to grant the naval credit which the Emperor wants, but they differ as to the expediency of dissolving that body. This Reichstag will expire by limitation in 1898, and many of the ministers are in favor of waiting and allowing the house to die a natural death. The council agreed to con- vert the German 4 per cent bonds into 34 per cents. The reply of the Czar to the address of President Faure at the banquet given in honor of the Russian Emperor in Paris was wired in full 10 the Kaiser, who made no effors to conceal his irritation upon learning that the words ‘“‘precious bonds” were anthentic, and had actually been used by the Czar in referring to the friend- ship of Russia for France, thus allowing the existence of no doubt that an alhiance stronger than & mere entente had been concluded between Russia and France. It is now very doubtful whether the Emperor will meet the Czar at Darmstadt and Ham- burg. The crown council held in Huber- tusstock may result in a change in the Cabinet, and this possibility is causing a great deal of uneasiness in official circles. Observing the grand reception given to the Uzar in Paris, German newspapers like the Berlin Post have tried to boycott the Parisian events of the last few days, de- scribing the journals which printed the reports and accounts of the fetes in full as “'sensation mongers.” The National Zeitung says that Ger- many looks without hate or love upon the most remarkabl that has ever been witnessed, namely, that of a republic worshiping an alien autocrat as a national hero. The Hamburger Correspondenz, an official organ, admits that the Czar's toasts upon the occasion of his entertain- ments in Paris are much warmer than those given by him in Vienna or Breslau, which fact, the paper adds, cannot well be, ignored. The Bismarckian journals suggest that if Prince Bismarck were Chancellor Ger- many would not now ‘witness the virtual transfer of the center pivot of European politics from Berlin to Paris. German exporters are generally con- vinced that McKinley will be elected President and that a high tariff in America will follow. Dr. Barth, the German econo- mist, now in the United States, wired this week to the managers of the Deutsche Bunk that ther: was no doubt that Mc- Kinley would be elected. Tue Berliner Tageblatt to-day says Mc- Kinley and a Republican House of Repre- sentatives may at their hottest for a high tariff, but the silver Senate will op- pose them, and therefore there is little danger that the tariff will be altered for the next few years. e —— SEQUEL TO THE SCANDAL Earl Russell Causes the Arrest _of Lady Scott for Libel. the British Peer Does Nt Gain Any Popularity by the Move. But LONDON, Exe., Oct. 10.—Earl Russell’ who became notorious a few years ago on account of a divorce suit brought by his wife, has again come before the publicin avery unenviable manner. Yesterday he swore out a warrant for the arrest of his mother-in-law, Lady Tyna Scott, on a charge of criminal iibel. Lady Scott was arrested last evening and spent the night in a cell at Bow-street po- lice station. She was arraigned in the po- lice court this morning. The news of her arrest had become widely known and the courtroom was crowded with people attracted thither for the most part by curiosity. Earl Russell was present in the capacity of accuser. From remarks made by the spectators it was plainly to be seen that he had not gained in popularity . by his recent move. After a partial examination Lady Scott was remanded for further hearing, but was admitted to bail in the snm of £400, which was furnished by two sureties, Lady Scott herself being one to the extent of £200. The charge against Lady Scott and her subsequent arrest are the sequel of the scandalous divorce case between Earl and Countess Russell several years - ago. Countess Russell at that time sued for di- vorce, accusing her husband of serious offenses; and he responded with a ‘countersuit against his wife. The trial of the case occupied considerable time, and caused a scandal among the British aris- tocracy. Commander Gill 's Death. CINCINNATI, Omio, Oct. 10.—Com- mander W. W, Gillpatrick of the United States navy dropped dead of heart disease in iis office in the Federal building at 10 o’clock this morning. He had but recently returned from a several weeks’ vacation, spent in Virginia' and at Annapolis, Md.,, leaving his wife at the latter place. For the past two years Commander Gill- Fntnck had charge of the United States ighthouse service on the Ohio, Kanawha and Tennessee rivers. He was 55 years of age and his place of residence was Leaven- worth, Kans. AL D el MYSTERIOUS ESCAPE OF SARELL. How the Convict Sawed His Way Through Iron Doors Is Worrying the Auburn Prison Officials. AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 10.—Seldom have the officials of Auburn prison met with so clever and mysterious a disappearance as confronted them yesterday morning, when in Lewis Sarell’s cell was found on the cot a dummy of straw topped off with a bunch of hair. Investigation showed eight inches of the heavy iron cell door skill- fully sawed off at the bottom, through which small opening the convict had wriggled with great difficulty. How Sarell obtained egress through sev- eral locked doors, between his cell and the vrison yard, are matters perplexing the officials. He did this, however, for in a distant part of the prison was founda the only other obtainable clew to the man. He had attacked a thick iron bolt ona door in the mess-hall and sawed it through, but his plans failed in this direc- tion, for there was another bolt on the other side of the door. Whence he went from there is the crowning mystery of the prison. Sarell is under sentence of twenty-five years for burglarizing the Westchester County store of Walger B. Adams (who was recently kitled by burglars) in the fall of 1889. He, with another convict, at- tempted to strike for freedom a month ago, but failed. While in the act of scal- ing the walls at night, Sarell feil from the top of a ladder to the ground, nearly breaking his neck. PROMINENT MEN FIGHT. They Hold a Decisive Set-To in the Chi- cago Athletic Club. CHICAGO, TrL.,, Oct. 10.—Two promi- nent men engaged in a prize-fight at the Athletic Club late this afternoon for a purse of $1000 a side. The participants were Dr. Milton B. Pine, a prominent North Side vhysician, and Kred Swift, a member of the Board of Trade and of the firm of Schwarz, Dupee & Co. There has long been a dis- ute between the two men as to their ghting capabilities, and it resulted in to- day’s mateh. The men were to have gone four rounds, but at the end of the second Dr. Pine, who Eroved to be the shiftier of the two, nocked Swift out by a strong right- hander on the chin.

The Crazed Father Attempts to Dash Through Fire to the Rescue. FIGHTS THOSE WHO HOLD HIM Made a Raving Maniac by the Hor- rible Fate That Befell the i Child. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 10.—Fire in the town of Oakdale last night destroyed the dwelling of James Gardner, -burned to death his 12-year-old son, made the father a raving manlac and rendered the wife a broken-hearted creature. The fire was caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp, and the dwelling went up as though it were tinder. Mrs. Gardner was at church-when the explosion occurred. The child was in its cot, and the father was sitting by the bed- side dozing. The lamp exploded very suddenly, and the flaming o1l spread over the room. Mr. Gardner’s clothing re- ceived a large quantity of it, and ;both he and his son were soon ablaze. The father seemed at once to lose his wite. He tried to extinguish the flames around 'his person and in the excitement forgot all about the boy, who by that time must have.been writhing in agony. Mr. Gardner rushed from' the house into the street, all the while fighting the element which was burning his clothing and cook- ing his flesh. In his frenzy he did not think of the child until he had extin- guished the flames upon himself, and then the building was ail ablsze. Then the presence of his son in the burning structure flashed upon his mind. In his wild excitement he started to rush back into the building to rescue the little one. By that time a crowd of townspeo- le had gathered, and when they saw the renzied man start to re-enter the build- ing they seized him. He fought to tear himself away from their grasp, but several men took hold of him and held bim fast.. He was too excited to speak. No one thought that the father was strug- gling to rescue his child. Tkey supposed that he wanted to save some of the furni- ture and effects and they knew that that was useless. The charred remains of the child were found in the ruinsof the burning build- ing. The father was still out of his mind n:_in!eruls to-day, believing his boy still alive. Mrs. Cleveland’s Return. WASHINGTON, D.
