The Alexandria Riots.

The chief mate of the steams hip
Bifrost, which arrived at Dover, Eng
land, with cargo of cotton seed from
Alexandria, gives the following account
of the massacre which occurred at that
town on Sunday, the 11th of June, and
OF which he was an eyewitness. he
says: "OCr vessel, with one or two
others, was lying alongside the quay in
the harbor at Alexandria. We were
discharging a cargo of deals. In the
morning went out with one of the
officers for ride on horseback. and re-
turned to the town about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. At that time every
thing appeared to be quiet in the town.
About 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 q 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
carrying sticks. They had evidently
been chasing lin some time, for the
poor fellow was nearly exhausted. On
reaching 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, but one OF the
Egyptian soldiers stabbed him with q
dagger, and he then ran into the street
again, where he was overpowered by the
Arabs. The man presented 3 very
ghastly 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 who
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 casa of an attempt to
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 a
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 dlsembarked
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
had mutilated him In the most hArbsr'
euE manner,

AN INTEREsTING DECISION.

Women, or some of them at least, are aim ing at an equality with men, and those who are will probably be pleased with a de- cision of the Supreme court of Michigan to the effect that there should be no excessive allowance for errors of judgment and con- duct based on the element of sex, and that while women are less likely than men to ex- pose themselves to danger the fact of their being women is not to excuse negligence when the risk is assumed.
 The case was an action for damages against the Michigan Central Railroad company, and the ground taken by the plaintiff presented novel question. A young girl was killed by train of cars of the defendant company and the plaintiff contended that contributory negligence could not be alleged by the con- pany to invalidate the claim for damages, since the same degree of care was not re- quired from a child as from an adult, and, furthermore, that the law did not expect or demand as much prudence in a woman as in man. The jury gave verdict to the plain tiff allowing for the youth and likewise for the sex of the victim. The Supreme court held that the instructions of the court below were correct, so far as concerns the direc- that it was an error to charge the jury that the sex of the plaintiff affected the rule as to reasonable care and prudence. The same care is expected on the part of a woman as on that of man. The court dwelt upon the fact that the difference in sex has much to do with the application of legal principles in many cases. Police regu- lations make distinctions Words and con- duct which in the presence of men would be condemned as in bad taste, may be punished as criminal when women are present. The law makes allowance for natural differences between men and women and for the results of their varying modes of life and occupa- tions. A decision in Michigan was quoted which declared that the same skill in driving a horse could not be attributed to woman as to man, and that person meeting woman on the street when a collision was threatened should remember her possible nowhere has laid down the general principle that less care is required of woman than of a man. Moreover, a greater degree of eau tion is expected on a woman's part, timidity and inexperience producing a care which is absent from the conduct of men. The court held that it, therefore, is unphilosophical and unreasonable to establish rule of law which necessitates less caution on the part of & woman.
 This seems to be good law. It is certainly common sense

The case of little red-headed Italian boy who was brought before New York police court Sunday may interest cigarette smokers An officer said that he found the boy gather ing cigar-stumps from the gutters and streets and sidewalks, and showed the judge basket half filled with the butts of old cigars, cover ed with mud and water-soaked. ''What do you do with them ?' asked his Honor. 'T sell them to man for 10 cents pound, Ire piled the boy, ''but don't know his name, and they are used for making cigarettes, like they sell in all the stores." The officer cor roborated the child's statement, and said that there were many boys, and even girls, securing the city in search of stumps and half smoked cigars, which were dried and then sold to various persons who used them in making cigarettes.

This is the New York Pu62ic's idea of the business situation It is still the fact that the manufacturing cities are producing be- yond the consuming capacity of the country speculation in products is still out Of all req sonable proportion to the quantity of such products in the markets and an unnatureI imitation of prices still makes living more costly than it should be, causes wasteful con- tests between labor and capital, and by in- ereasing imports and decreasing exports, produces a steady movement of gold from this country to Europe. Until these things change it is rot reasonable to expect any healthy or sustained improvement in the volume of business.

The high price of meat has led to supply of enormous quantities of fresh meat from the West, and there has been some complaint among the western dealers that the New York butchers have formed ring to keep out their meat. One agent for western company said to a reporter II had thou sand pounds of nice beef tenderloins yester- day, nice enough for anybody, and l was glad to sell them at 16 cents! pound. l have no doubt that this meat is sold st retail for 25 or 30 cents a pound. The combination against western meat was so great last winter that they got the price down to 10 cents pound. But we put ours in cold storage and kept it until we got Is cents pound, which is high price for us." The growth of the trade has led to the building of great refrig- orators for both storage and transportation, and the cold storage business in large cities is rapidly growing.

There are thirty-three railroad schools" in Russia for the instruction of employees, es- tablished because not very long ago it was impossible to get Russians with education enough to be intrusted with the higher places, and sven at this day one-half of all the loco motive engineers in Russia are Germans. Twenty years ago, of four road masters on a line about twenty five miles long, two did not know their letters, and had clerks to write their reports. The schools turn out chiefly engineers and firemen, road m asters and tele- graphers, most of them sons of railroad en- ployes. The course of study extends over three years, with two years practice course" in some cases. The schools are hardly yet out of the experimental stage, One of the oldest, founded in 1874 has so far twenty-five graduates in railroad service.

In the cases in the Metropolitan district ,O84 yer diets of accidental death were returned, of willful murder and 112 of suicide, while in 599 cases an open verdict was given,
