LONDON, MAY 4:h.-A dispatch from
Calcutta says: Nearly million pilgrims
who assembled at Hurdwar Fair, have
carried the cholera in various directions.
Outbreaks Of the disea'e are reported from
Delhi, Wrumitza, Rawalpende and else
where. Some cases occurred smong Euro
pean troops. 1t is asserted that Of $4,000
persons who went to the fair from Calcutta,
one quarter are missing. This mortality
has been caused by the police forcing them
to travel in desert tracks. 1t Is probable
the story is much exaggerated. The Bonn
bay Government reports great distress i'm

crops. Five thousand families-strIcsen

Notes OF Royalty.
tHarper's Bazar.l

Coming down the staircase OF st. James
Hall on Saturday afternoon in April, when
the popular Concert" audience is flocking
out 10 brougham and cab, one is often de-
sired by the attendant police to ''fall back, y
and the crowd of gayly laughing and talk
ing people surge forward, then draw back,
while two fair haired young women, &C
companied by a gentleman and lady at
tendant, make their way down the stair
case directly opposite. These are the
Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice,
who are very regular in their patronage
of good music, and whose fair fresh faces,
very closely alike in coloring, are we'll
known at st. James and Exeter Halls.
The two sisters often pause for a moment
in the corridor or vestibule, exchanging q
few words with friends whom they recog-
nize in the crowd, occasionally with ia
nous artist who has made his or her way
out near the sunshiny pavement Of Picca-
dilly. The few words spoken, an official
goes forward to the curb and opens the
door of q modest broughsm, which the
Princesses and their attendants enter.
Every gentleman in the crowd holds his
hat in his hand; those nearest the crowd
bow respectively, and royalty drives away.
Such is the simple etiquette of departure.
On arriving at . concert, the Princesses
take their places in the front row OF the
orchestra stalls with very little formality,
the people nearest them only standing un-
til they are seated; and during the long
interval of conversation and socisble NOV
ing about, bet ~een parts, they chat freely
with their friends who Join them or are
seated near. Jenkins would find little in
their demeauor to elaborate on these occa-
sione; and. indeed, the formality of the
present English Court on any but State
occasions is 50 mechanical and quickly
disposed of that it must be far less trying
and injurious to the public than in the
days when poor Fanny Burney was COM
PEELED to stand for three hours reading
aloud to her Sweet Queen Charlotte"
During the ertr a1tes at either concert or
theatre the friends Of the royal family
must always wait to be summoned, and, on
joining the Queen or Princes, bow instead
Of shaking hands, and remain standing
until desired to be seated. The governors,

A QUESTION OF WAGES SETTLED BY ARBITRA-
TIoN-REJoICING CIGARMAKERs.
The principle of arbitration to settle difficulties
between employer and employed has been fully
tested in the cigar mandatory Of Messrs. Sraton
4 Storm of No. 206 East Twenty-seventh street. and
over a years experience shows that both the firm
and the employees benefited by it. The cigar
rollers having asked for advance of fifty cents
per thousand for rolling cigars the Board of Arbi
tration met yesterday to consider their
quest. The number of employees is 1892
and they hold annual elections for delegates.
who in turn elect five of the nine members
of the Board The additional members three
foremen. appointed by the firm. and Mr.. Storm. the
junior partner. The DEGREES Of this Board con-
sidered as binding both parties. At the meeting
held yesterday Mr. Michael Hut, cgarmaker. pre-
sded and the petition signed by $50 rollers read
demanding advance of fifty cents their pres
ent rate of So per 1000. For convenience of
deliberaton the subject was divided into three
questions:-(l) Has the time arrived when the con-
dtion of the business will warrant an advance?
t2) How much will the advance be. il any, and t3)
When shall it 90 into effect? Several of the rollers
present and urged their in eloquent terms,
showing how difficult it was for them to get
along on their present wages. and stating that
the business was now prosperous enough to
admit OF an advance. Mr.. Storm, on the part
Of the firm, argued that the advance might
injure their business by necesstatng rise in price
and driving away part OF their CUSTOM Ii the em-
ployes thought that other firms would also raise the
wages of their employees Messrs. Sraton Storm
not unwilling to set the example. This sub
ject was debated at some length, and the Board
finally decided, by unanimous vote, to grant the
advance asked. As to the time for carrying it
into eject there was considerable discussion.
Mr.. Storm stated that the firm had sold
100000 cigars, which orders they would
have to f and If the raise Were to be enforced i'm
mediately they would lose just much that
amount. Some proposed that weeks time be
allowed, Others two. The vote against an immediate
change was unanimous. Five of the employees voted
in favor of one week. and the decision
corded
Mr.. Straiton said after the meeting that the proba-
Bile effect of the arbitration would be that other
ufacturers would have to follow their example and
grant the small advance asked by the men, and also
that the price of cigars would be gradually advanced
