General SchOfield, who lately succeed
ed General Mcdowell in command OF
the department of the Pacific, received
a delegation of the Pluto Indians few
days ago at the Pacific hotel in San
Francisco. The scene was an amusing
one. The braves wore some of the gar
ments of civilization, but of a decayed
civilization, and each carried under his
arm a silk hat whose gloss had long
since disappeared. They began with a
diplomatic eulogy of General mellow.
ell and then, proceeding to business
urged their claims to q continuance OF
the free passes over the Cestral Pacific
railroad which they enjoyed in the good
old days. They explained that it was
occasionally their imperative necessity
to ride on the railroad, but that they
never under any circumstances, were in
condition to pay their fares. Having
finished his special errand, their spokes
man, with inefable dignity, asked Gen
eral Schoaeld for quarter of doilal
with which to purchase food.

THEATRE BURNED.
Mrs. LanRtry's Ill-Luck.-Her Costumes
for San Unequal Match" De-

strOyed.
NEW YORK, Oct 3O.-Abbey's Park
theatre took fire this afternoon and is
totally destroyed. The fire started in
the proscenium in the rear of the second
tier of boxes on the right of the stage.
It is believed that it was caused by gas
escaping. The flames spread with great
rapidity, caught the drop curtain, and
drove from the building the stage hands
who were wetting the stage. They had
previously made q vain effort to put the
IRE out with extinguishers, but it is said
they would not work.
Henry Clarke, stage manager, had his
hand burned in endeavOring to lower
the drop curtain. He jumped from a
rear window into Broadway from a
height of twenty feet, and had his leg
broken. William Doran, 81 years old,
scene painter. was badly bruised.
Mrs. Langtry's costumes for IAN Une-
quail Match" the play in which she was
to make her first appearance tonight in
America, were burned, together with the
costumes of all the other members of
the company, and also the very valuable
scenery. Nothing was saved. Loss over
100000.
Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere
watched the fire from the balcony of the
ALTERNATE hotel, two blocks away.
They were greatly shocked.

Election day approaches. The Demo
cratic managers everywhere are ready
with bogus tickets TO deceive the anti
Democratic voter into voting for one or
more of the Democratic candidates. Let
every Republican voter carefully scan
his ticket beforehand as TO the names
printed thereon. Better to get it the
day before election, before the furry of
election day itself, and make sure that
1t is right. Then, when you go to vote,
allow no one to touch IT, and see that
you deposit that ticket, and none other.

BOSTON, Oct. 29.-The board of rail.
road commissioners have given q deci.
sion on the Troy s. Greenfield railroad
disaster at North Adams October 21st,
by which seven persons lost their lives.
The board is of the opinion that the
weight of testimony shows that Engi-
neer Watson was proceeding in an i'm
proper and dangerous manner, and that
there is no excuse for his negligence.
So far as the management of the road is
concerned, the board regrets to say q
loose system has prevailed; that trains
too often have been permitted to run in
the wrong direction without proper
caution, and that this has been done SO
often it ought TO have been known and
prevented. A road which cannot be op-
Grated with reasonable safety ought not
to be operated at all, and no exception
should be made in favor of a road owned
by the commonwealth. The manner of
making up a construction train with

Chicgo Tribune: The social out
breaks of the last fortnight in France
have come from aclear sky. No election
is impending, no change has been made
In the home or foreign policy that could
account for public disaffection. Ex-
cepting the vine industry, French bust
ness interests are fairly prosperous.
Notwithstanding this absence of the
causes that usually are TO be detected
underneath French turbulence, there
have been lately at different points in
France arson, riots, incendiary placards,
street fights in which the gendarmerie
had TO reinforce to police, and all the
incidents of a Communistic uprising.
These disorders have broken out as
far apart as Paris, Marseilles, st. Etienne,
Creuzot and Lyons Proclamations
were posted in the streets of Paris call
ing upon the people to rise against their
landlords and the adulteraiors of thei r
food. Lyons has been treated to re-
peated doses of dynamite. Working
mems strikes are spreading from town
TO town. The miners OF Monicesu have
engaged in destructive riots President
Grevy's life has been publicly threat
ened.
The government claim that they have
discovered the existence of an anarchist
conspiracy which has an organization
that breaches out over the whole coun-
try. its headquarters are at Geneva
where so much incendiary work has
been planned by the reyolutiOnists OF
past days. The Nihilist Prince KrapOt
kline is a member. This formidable body
acts upon very slight provocations. The
riots at Lyons were ostensibly because
of the refusal of the city council to pay
the annual subsidy To the opera house
which has been popular institution o.
the city for hundred years.
1t is noteworthy that the commotior
is confined TO the working population o
the cities. The peasantry are quiet
The ouvriers haYe their heads full o
all kinds of Communistic notions sucl
as Henry George has begun to instil
into the minds of our own laboring PEG
pie. But as long as the French Re
public has the support OF the country i
can easily handle the Communists o
the cities.
The policy of Grevy's administration
has been progressive but conservative
The educational reform just inaugurateC
in France by which education becomes
compulsory and the control ofthe schools
is to be taken out of the hands of thu
priesthood is of itself the most impor
tant forward step that has been taken in
France since the establishment of tn
Republic 1t is impossible TO attribut'
the present outbreaks to anything bu
one of those ill-timed conspiracIIs il
which a certain class of the population
of the cities are so fond of engaging
France has today the most democratic
government in Europe There is no evi
dence in any quarter that the French
people are dissatisfied with It. The vi
porous brood of Russian, Pole, Fenian
Spanish, Italian, and Partisan sans-cu
lottes who haunt the social sewers o

terminate them as it has done before.

LONDON, Nov. Earl Granville pre-
sided at the first meeting of the Long
fellow memorial committee, which was
held to-day. He offered a resolution
that the committee take measures to
erect q bust at Westminster Abbey in
commemoration of the great American
poet. He said Fl. w. Longfellow was a
United States patriot with a cosmopoll-
tan feeling; that in addition TO being a
traveller, his mind was impreg-
mated with the legends of old
Europe and those of America
he carried out the principle
that poetry ought 70 have its roots in its
natural soil. His verses were imbued
with sound and healthy moral tone.
Earl Granville said that he felt that
what he was proposing was an excep-
tional thing and enc that could not by
any possibility be made habit in this
country, although it was exceptional he
should not deem it necessary to take the
opinion of the cabinet upon it; he would,
however, assist the committee to his Ut
most in honoring that poet OF

moved that the executive committee be

resolutions were passed looking to early
and speedy completion of the bust and
to placing it in the abbey. The last res
olution summoned a meeting of the COM
mittee at the Lyceum theatre to be held
at as early date as possible. Earl of
Derby, Sir Humbert Childers, Prof.
Tyndall, Max Muller, of Germany, and
