handed round . magnificent proof OF the

words upon the long discussed question
of lunar atmosphere. In speaking
upon this subject he said: " Suppose
for moment that the moon is sur
rounded by an atmosphere, what would
be the result if we took Photographic
view of it during an eclipse? The lunar
disk would be sharp enough, but there
would be gradual decline in density,
as in q vignetted portrait. This is ex-
actly the contrary which took place, es
the proof will show. The lunar disk is
very sharp and the negative is rather

The Alexandria Riots.

The chief mate of the steams hip
Bifrost, which arrived at Dover Eng
land, with cargo OF cotton seed from
Alexaudria gives the following account
of the massacre which occurred at that
town on Sunday, the 1lth of June, and
OF which he was an eyewitness. He
says: soar vessel. with one or two
others, was lying alongside the quay in
the barbor at Alexandria. We were
discharging cargo Of deals. In the
morning went out with one OF the
officers for ride on horseback. and re-
turned to the town about o'clock in
the afternoon. At that time every
thing appeared to be quiet in the town.
About 3 O'Clock we suddenly noticed
patches of Arabs running about the
town brandishing sticks, with which
they attacked every European they
came across, beating them in the
most horrible and cowardly manner
until they had killed their victims Que
gentleman, who had taken refuge on
board our vessel, afterward went to see
two of his friends who had been taken
to the hospital, but they were SO ter
ribly mutilated that one OF them he
could only recognize by button on his
coat, and the other by o part OF his
mustache, the skulls of the unfortunate
victims being completely battered IN.
We saw one Greek marine running for
his life down the street toward the quay
in the hope of getting on board one OF
the English vessels. He was followed
by large crowd of Arabs, who we're
carving sticks. They had evidently
been chasing him some times for the
poor fellow was nearly exhausted. On
haching the quay he found the gate
closed, and he tried to scale It, but be-
fore he had time to do so some OF the
Arabs reached him and knocked him
down. Some one opened the gate and
the Greek managed to regain his feet
and run toward the quay, buto OF the
Egyptian soldiers stabbed him with
dagger, and he then ran into the street
again, whore he was oyerpowered by the
Arabs. The man presented very
CHASTITY appearance. His face was bat
tered, and his clothes, which were
very much torn, were covered WITH
blood. The general belief was that the
soldiers and police killed more people
than the Arabs. One gentleman We
had on board told us OF family VINO
had been taken to the police station for
shelter, but were shortly afterward
found there murdered. We heard OF
other cases of this character. We took
several families on board, our deck
being crowded with them. At night We
moored off the quay, and took every
precaution in case OF an attempt 70
board us. We had number OF Arabs
employed discharging our cargo. As
soon as they heard the cry that an at
tack was being made on the Europeans
they left their work like one man and
seized on anything which they could
lay hold of which would serve as
weapon and ran up into the town. We
transferred a great many Of the refugees
TO other vessels, but had about eighty
passengers, including children. when
We left Alexandria We disembArked
the greater part Of them at Malta, bring
ing about twenty on to Dover. one
gentleman, whose family We hAd on
board, had fallen victim IN the mas
sacre. Besides decapitating him they

An Alarming Suspicion.

"Do you see those men?" said railway
official to the Alert reporter, at the depot,
yesterday afternoon, as the east bound
train was pulling out, 'they are desperate
men, and many believe that they formerly
belonged to the famous band of James
Younger bandits" He pointed ont several
suspicious looking individuals, with long
hair and an arsenal of small guns on their
persons.
It is fact that many sensible people,
residing within radius of ten miles Of
jamestown, arc firmly of the opinion that
Frank James, the noted bandit, is in this
section with a lot of his pals. Of late quite
q number of horses have been stolen
between jamestown and Fort Tottcn, and
this gives color to the suspicion. There is
no cause for alarm. Frank James is in

crime are in their graves or within the
