LANGTRY'S ILL LUCK.
MANAGER ABBEY'S THEATRE
BURNED.
valuable Scenery COnsumed-Part of the
Company's Wardrobe Destroyed A
Workman Missing.

NEW YORK, October 3O-Abbey's Park
Theatre was this evening destroyed by fire.
None OF the actors were in the building. as
there had been no rehearsal during the
afternoon. Two men were badly Injured.
The fire started in the proscenium, in the
rear OF the second tier of boxes on the right
OF the stage. 1t is believed It was caused
by an explosion Of gas. The flames spread
with great rapidity, caught the drop curtain
and drove the stage hands, who were setting
the stage to rights, from the building. They
made brief but vain effort to put out the
IRE with extinguishers, but these would not
work.
Mrs. Langtry's costumes for the play in
which she was to appear tonight, "The
unequal Match" were burned. Also the
costumes of all the other members of the
company, and the very valuable scenery,
The theatre had been newly frescoed aud
upholstered in preparation for Mrs. Lang
try's debut. The scenery for the play was
costly and elaborate, especially for the sec
ond act, being painted on satin and hand
embroidered. 1t was all destroyed. There
had been no rehearsal to day, but merely a
scene setting for Mrs. Langtry. The fire
spread so rapidly that the valuable paint
ings could not be removed from the office.
Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere wit
messed the fire from the balcony Of the
Albemarie Hotel, two blocks away. They
were greatly shocked.
The building, with all its contents. was
destroyed, the loss being estimated at $780,
GOO. Mr.. AbbeY's loss is 500 900. He i'm
mediatelY made arrangements to open next
Monday night in the Grand Opera House.
Shortly before eleven O'Clock tonight
John Leo, stage carpenter at the theatre,
was reported missing, and 1t is thought he
p rished in the flames.

The. Fatal PrOphet-A New MussuI-
man Fra

The Constantinople correspondent OF the
London Standard states that Mussulmans
are just now on the tiptoe of expectation.
knowing that an important event affecting
Islam is to take place. 'About the oath OF
this month the Mohammedan world enters
upon new century. The Egyptian ques-
tion, affairs OF the Hedjaz and other impor-
tant State questions are all put into the back
ground, while the Sultan's almost undivided
attention Is given TO astrologers and other
wise men OF the East who are busilY en-
gagged at the palace in studying the stars
and other signs in the heavens which NAV
enable them to unravel mystery. According
to and ancient prophecy, q new prophet
may be expected about that date,
who Is supposed to raise Mohammedan
power to q position of spiendor
unequaled even in its most palmy days,
The mystery which these wise men are to
penetrate is to find out upon whom this en-
viable position is to devolve. At one time
Ylldiz entertained the idea that possibly
Arab Pasha might be the chosen one; but
subsequent events having disposed OF that
theory, Abdul Hamid does not despair of
being himself recognized as the great man.
Everything was working smoothly at Yfldiz
the astrologers and necromancers were all
but on the point of solving the mysteries
attached to the forthcoming anniversary
when present reached the Sultan from The
very learned Sheik Of Mecca which com
pletelY upset all calculations. The gift
consists OF a couple of pigeons and a sword,
snd these are supposed to have direct rela-
tlon to the important event. Matters there
became even more complicated by the
appearance Of the comet, and this last has
cast all the prognosticatlons OF the wise
men into utter confusion"

An Interesting Decision.
Baltimore Sun.

l. has already been briefly stated in the
Sun that the New York Court of Appeals
has decided against the legality OF taxing
the premiums on government bonds. The
court, Justice Earle delivering the judg-
ment, dwells upon the fact that It Is mere
accident that government bonds are above
par. They may, In the market, be worth
more or less than par, and they may huctu-
ate from week to week and month to month,
depending upon the condition of trade,
commerce, finance and other matters. The
fact that they are above par may be due to
the plethora and ehespness Of money, and
not TO any actual increase in value as
compared with q fixed standard.
When, therefore, q government loan
Is p1t upon the market, It is plain
to be seen that it might be materially af-
fected II 1t were known that whenever the
bonds to be Issued should in the market
from any cause happen to be at premium,
when the assessors come to make their as
eessment, such premium could be assessed
sDd taxed. Such a tax, the cuurt holds,
would affect the value of the bonds and en-
barrass the government in eHecting loan,
10 the same way, II not in the same degree,
that tax upon the bonds, co ROnline would.
His Honor then goes on to say: "lt Is
clear, therefore, that II the premiums upon
such bonds, over which the holder has no
control, which can neither create or
destroy, and which do not really in
dieate any enhanced value of the
bonds, can be taxed, the policy of
the law as TO the exemption Of government
securities from taxation would by greatly
violsted. The premium Is not something
distinct from the bond and which cannot
exist apart from the bond. It is inherent In
II and goes with 1t, When the confidence
OF the public in it is destroyed, that is de-
stroyed. When the bond is transferred that
goes along, aud as the bond approaches
maturity It Vanishes. The premium is part
OF the entire value Of the bond, and when
that is taxed the bond is taxed, or what is
equally condemned, the value or part of the
value OF the bond is taxed. A conception OF
the premium upon the bond as distinct
entry for the purpose of taxation is too
transcendental and metaphysical for COM
mon comprehension and judicial cogniz-
ance -

er. Hassan, the officer of the pendarm-
erie of Ortakeni, who was not in the
secret, believing that the attack was
genuine, rushed upon the Mobadiirs and
split the head of Ali Suari with his
saore. For this exploit he was success.
lvely promoted from rank to rank up to
0eneral OF DIVISION, the post that he
holds today with the command of the
Beshiktask, which includes the imperial
residence. just as in the present
case with Arab, the Turkish press
received orders to throw upon the mem
ory of Suari all the abuse of which it is
capable and to-day this man passes in
the eyes Of the Turks for revolutionary
madman who wanted to dethrone the
Sultan, when he was only his accom-.
plice and his victim.
The d. affair is the case of former
artillery officer of Napoleon Ill In
1867, at the time of the Paris Exposition,
he was ordered to escort Abdul Hamid
as Prince Imperial. This Prince after
ward took bin to Constantinople to be
attached to his person. He has the title
OF Mushir Marechal, has received all the
grand Ottoman decorations. and gets a
salary of $50 Turkish pounds a month.
He lives completely at the expense
of the Sultan, and his mission is
TO go regularly once or twice a
year to France to invest the savings
Of His Majesty. At each visit he places
about e60, 900 in Frnach funds; and /
have good reason to believe that the
Credit LyOnnais serves or has served as
the agent. 1t is estimated that the Sui
tan has already placed in this way &C.,
600, 900 or $27 900, 900. After each voY.
age ID. receives a present. He has Just
now set out on his usual trip, and this
time has received 8, 800 Turkish pounds.
His qualifications amount annually TO
$4,000 Turkish pounds, or about $685.
600. The Turks can't understand how
a Caliph could prefer a Giaour 10 the
faithful in the employment of his funds,
and can't be made to get used to the fact
that, while there is not a cent in the
Treasury for public expenses, there are
millions for the foreign investments of
the Caliph.
If you add to all this the fact that the
Sultan was proclaimed only on the for
NAL condition of his proclaiming the
constitutional thing that he has taken
good care not to dO--you will find one of
the solutions of the problem of the po-
litical course followed by Abdul Hamid,
and which in a nut shell can be express
ed in the words: "always demanding
and always yielding" Every time that
he tries to raise his head, he is Obliged to
bow down before the evidence of some
one of his crimes.

THE JEANETTE.
Julius DeLOng, Cousin of the Great Ex-
plorer, Gives His Opinion as to the
Seaw Orthiness of the Vessel.


Julius DeLong, a cousin of Lieut.. De-
Long, OF the Ill fated Jeanette, resides at
Allegheny CITY, Pa, where be is engaged in
business. Referring to the investigation
into the loss OF the Jeanette in progress at
Washington, Mr.. DeLong said: II had fire.
quent conversations with my cousin before
he started on the voyage, and he again and
again expressed his confidence in the YES
sci, and said she was as seaworthY as she
could be made. Do you suppose he would
have left his wife and child and started on
that voyage II he had not thought
the Jeanette was perfectly safe? Yes.
sir; that vessel left San Francisco in
a. perfectly seaworthy condition, and
not better vessel was on the seas than the
Jeannette. My cousin had the oversight OF
some Of the repairs, and Lieutenant Danen-
hover says that he changed some of his
original plans. He may have done so, but
II any changes were made they enhanced the
safety Of the vessel, as my cousin had been in
the Arctic regions and knew exactly what
was required. l have watched this investi-
cation with the greatest interest, and have
kept myself posted on 1t. Lieutenant Da-
nenhower has told his story, and from some
things he has said l am inclined to think
that his brain has not fully recovered from
the effects OF his Arctic experience On
my Cousins former voyage two of the
officers had little dispute as to the
proper pronunciation of a French word.
The matter was Of so little importance that
ordinarily 1t would have passed without
notice; but the men were in such condi-
ton that they refused to speak to each other
for several weeks. On these Arctic VOYAGES
the men become affected thus, and possibly
Lieut.. Danenhower has not entirely recov-
cred. Another matter may have had some
influence with Danenhower. By his rank
he was justly entitled to command the
second boat that went OUT but, owing to
the weakness Of his eyes, Lieut.. Melville
took the place."
''Mrs. De Long," said Mr.. De Long, In
conclusion, ''ts still in the East, and I ex-
pect to see her in short time. have not
the least doubt as to the result of the in
vestigation, and again I say the Jeanette
was as stout and good vessel as ever sail
ed out of San Francisco harbor.
