The following explanation of the origin Of
the Zulu war is given by Truth: s.In a row,
chercheS Ia femme. Getywayo loved Arabela,
the barmaid OF missionary who sold brandy
at his store. Cetywayo's intentions were
honorable, and he wished to marry Arabela.
Nor was that maiden 10th to exchange the
bar for savage palace. But Cetywayo' s re-
spected parents objected to the match, and
the missionary was afraid that II he con-
scented to the marriage bis license to sell
liquor would be taken away. On coming to
the throne Cetywayo banished the mission
airy and showed himself by no means friend
to ruin-selling missionaries. Sir Bartle
Frere, however, favors these gentry. Thus,
thanks to Arabela and to missionary want
ing to make money by the sale Of spirits, we
are landed in the Zulu war;"

Il would be amusing, ii their operations had
not begun with such q hideous tragedy. to
watch the doings of the Kelly gang Of BUSH
rangers In Victoria, New South Wales. Here
we have four young men. the leader little
more than boy. who have kept the frontier
of two great and Furnishing colonies In o
state OF alarm for months. They dash into
one township In Victoria, lock up half The In
habitants. steal the whole of the available
cash In the bank, and disappear. The colonial
police are as powerless to catch them as the
Russian police are to put down the Nihiltsts.
Time passes on, the bushrangers funds are
perhaps running rather low, and they sud
denly come out again, this time on the New
South Wales side, to the township OF Jeril-
derie. Here the band begin by capturing the
police ON Saturday February 8, pass Sunday
ID decent quiet, and on Monday proceed, rs at
Eurora, to take into custody and lock up such
persons as might interfere with them. Then
they rob the bank of 10000, and having made
this nice little haul, they were gracious
enough to treat the townspeople at the various
bars, and from being simply murderons be-
came quite urbane. Later they went off once
more with their gains and two capital police
horses. reward of $1,000 was offered for
their capture, but two months have now
elapsed and the telegraph has not brought
news that this has been effected.

So1ovieff Dies With F'irmness, But
Refuses the Consultations

ST. PETERSBURG, June 9.-The execution
OF Alexander Balovief took place to-day.
The twenty-tour hours which were given him
II which to make an appeal for mercy ex-
pired yesterday but his execution was post
poned until to-day. It is reported that he re-
fused to make af appeal, knowing that II
would be useless. His demeanor at the exc.
cution was calm and somewhat dignified. He
refused to the last to make any statement
respecting his accompllces or superiors The
scaffold was erected On the great plaza In
front Of the Fortress OF 5t. Peter and St. Paul,
where Solovieff had been imprisoned, and
where he was tried and condemned. A large
force Of imperial guards formed hol-
low square around the scaffold in
two ranks, one facing towards the scaf.
foId facing the people who. to the number
Of 5000, filled all the rest of the plaza. The
people were very quiet and no demonstrations
of any kind were made. After Solovlefs g
condemnation he Was immediately visited by
the consolation OF religion. but Soiovieff
firmly refused to listen to the exhortations oi
the priest. He respectfully, but positively
stated that he had no faith In God or belief In
future life and that 1t would be only q
mere mockery to pretend It; When brought
marched boldly and ascended the scaffold
with q firm step. The priest who still at
tended him continued to exhort him to make
some act of contrition and to seek pardon
from God, but Solovleff steadily refused. AT
the last moment the priest offered to him the
crucifix imploring him to kiss 1t as token oi
his repentance, but Solovjeff pushed 1t away
with gesture OF impatience. He exhibited
perfect composure and frmness but NO
bravado.
