routh'a Companion.
People OF "ranks can be frightfully
vulgar.
The duke OF Wellington used TO tell
q story Of Louis XVIII, king of
France, which may serve to illustrate
this point. The duke was taking q
family dinner with the old king and
the princesses OF his court, the duchess
Of Angouleme and the duchess of
Berri. Upon the table at dessert was
placed a dish Of very early straw
berries.
The king deliberately poured them
all out into bis own plate, covered
them with cream and sugar, and ate
them, without Offering any to the
ladies, or apologizing for not doing 30.
Lord Mahon, the historian, on hear
ing the duke relate this anecdote,
capped Il with another. William Ill,
king of England, dining one day with
his wife, Queen Mary, and Princess
Anne, afterward Queen Anne, ate the
contents of q dish of early peas with
out a word of apology to the two
ladies.
The duke Of Wellington laughed,
and said; AYE. l hope 1t Is not a
royal custom"
His guests must have known what
he meant by this remark. He had
recently gone through many trouble
some, and some disgusting, expert
ences with that very vulgar and dis
reputable king, George ", of whom
the duke afterward said that "he
really could act like q gentleman-for
fifteen minutes"
There are no "nobles" more proud
of their ancient lineage and fine breed
ing than those of Spain. Wellington,
who lived among them for several
years, said that they formed . little
coterie about the court of Madrid,
never lived upon their estates, had no
pubic life, and valued nothing but the
petty distinctions of the court circle.
He described them as very good
natured people, ofcrude and primitive
manners, but complete liars, and
destitute of principle or high feeling,
The real aristocracy of q country
consists of those who take the lead In
strengthening, teaching and improving
1t. Ancient birth has nothing to do
with the true aristocracy, not even In
the comparatively unimportant mat
ter of polite demeanor. Some of the
greatest blackguards now living on
the earth had unexceptionable great
grandfathers, and some of the most
consummate gentlemen have made
their way, unaided, from the lowliest
homes, or still inhabit them.

the Lama nunneries, where they learn
to read and copy the Thibetan Script

vices.
The choice of q wife for the family
is the right of the elder brother, and
the contract he makes involves mar
risge contracts with all the other
brothers. The system is said to have
existed in Thibet since prehistoric
time, 80 that its origin 10 lost In anti
guilty. 1t has been suggested that 1t
arose in q state of society where men
were forced to be away from home,
and where the duty Of protecting the
family would fall on the brothers In
turn. The notable benefit Ii that Il re-

The Street Car Strike.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 12.-There has been
no change in the status of the street railway
and motor strike since last night. The strils-
ers offered to submit the matter to arbitra-
tion, but President Lowry refused TO enter
tain the proposal. The company has re-
ceived great many applications for work,
and asserts that the places of the strikers
can easily be filed
The street car company made its first for
NAL attempt to raise the strike ut o'clock
this afternoon. The move was made at the
Fourth avenue car barns. A special detail
of policemen was on hand to ride in the car
and see that order was kept President
Lowry and Manager Frederick drove to the
spot in a carriage to see the first wheel move.
The car proceeded on its way, but had not
gone twenty feet before II was stopped by
the men, the horses unhitched, and the car
shaved back into the barn. The policemen on
the car made no attempt to arrest anyone.
ST. PAUL. April 12.-All the street car men
in this city struck at 3 this afternoon.
Shortly before 4 o'clock this afternoon, as
Fourth avenue car was on its way back, it
was surrounded by a huge and excited
crowd. Finally someone set the brake on
the rear platform and stopped it. AT the
junction squad of mounted police dashed
out of an alley way from the Central police
station and rushed at full speed into the
crowd, with clubs drawn. Once in the center
of the crowd, they arrested three men and
augmentlng and was getting very violent.
To make matters worse, II number of express
wagons filed with strikers drove in front of
the cars and succeeded in making a COM
plete blockade. The driver of the Car finally
unlocked his horses and went off amid the
cheers of the crowd, leaving the car stand
ing on the track.
A little later another car on Washington
avenue, while on its way back, was blockaded
by two wood carts, which were dropped on
the corner of Washington and Hennepin
The driver became disgusted, and, unhitch
ing his horses, drove off.
The situation was getting serious. A

several people and iniuring number. Sew

ROBBERS IN CUSTODY.
The Canon Diablo Outlaws Captured
and Safely in Irons.

DENVER, Colo, April 12.--[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE.l-Sheriff O'Neill, of
Prescott, Ariz, accompanied by Car Haltren,
James Black and Ed st. Clair, his deputies,
arrived in the city at o'clock this afternoon,
having in charge quartette of the worst
desperadoes that ever operated in this west
ern country. Their names are Tobe Ounce,
j. j. Smith, Bill Steiner and Charles Clark,
and they are in custody of Sheriff O'Neill
and posse only after desperate fight. The
21st of last March four men stopped an Allan
tic s. Pacific railroad passenger train in
Canon Diablo. They held up the express
messenger and secured about $1,000. The
place where the robbery occurred was a
wild, weird spot far from civilization and the
improving influence of education. Rewards
to the extent of 5000 had been offered for
their capture. In an interview Sheriff
O'Neill said "The morning after the rob-
berry five of us took the trail and followed
them TO southwestern Utah, where we cap
tured them after a running fight lasting five
days, during which number of horses were
killed. These fellows belong to the most
desperate gang OF outlaws on this continent.
They have terrorized Arizona, New Mexico
and Utah for years, and have operated sue.
cessfully all this time. They have eluded
officers ana killed many inoffensive people.
In their fights last year they slaughtered
thirty men and women who resisted the per-
iodical attacks When they can not find in
nocent people to murder they shoot each
other, seemingly unable to lead peaceable
lives. They are very strong, and inhabit 6
wild country in which a stranger stands nc
show at all. One of them made confession
of their work of last March, but at present
il will not be made public. We have his full
story, and it will send his pals up to the full
extent of the law. l think the gang will con
tinue to operate until we get back and once

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
EvasiveIy Replies to His Par.
ncllite Intcrrosa,ors.

nciIlte luteFFOSatOTS.
LONDON, April 12.--In the commons this
evening Professor Stewart (radicaD
asked Balfour whether the circular sent to
the Irish police directing them to collate all
secret information regarding the doings of
members of the National league was de-
signed to aid the London Times. Balfour
replied evasively and Parnell demanded a
straightforward answer. The circular, he said
was fact. The use made of the circular
proved that the government was the prosecu-
tor behind the Times. Referring to the use
of battering rams in enforcing evictions in
Donegal he protested against such cruelty
and barbarity.
Bafour ignored the question regarding the
secret circular. Regarding battering rams,
he held that it was necessary to use them.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt described
the policy of Balfour as one of eXtermina-
tion.
Goshen declared that the Parnellites were
responsible for that. They had substituted
warfare between landlord and tenant for
friendly relations based on recent laws,
which put Irish tenants in more favored
and protected position than any people in the
world. Evictions were not taking place be-
cause tenants could not pay rent, but be-
cause they would not do so.

Some Rcassuring Signs.

New York, April 12.-The following has
been received by the Associated press from
a representative of the Thingvalla Steam
ship line:
''As some of the comments on the reported
loss of the Danish steamer Danmark express
apprehension that this disaster may have
been accompanied by heavy loss of life, we
beg leave to state, for the benefit of all per-
sons who have friends on board the Inflated
boat, our belief to the contrary. When
sighted by the City of Chester, Monday last
in latitude 45 55, north, longitude AZ 16, west,
the decks aft and the sails were in pieces,
but the vessel was floating, and although the
reporting steamer expressed the belief that
she would shortly founder, this did not oc-
cur during all the time that elapsed
from the hour she was first sighted until
lost sight of. The Danmark was floating
directly in the track of transatlantic steam
that the passengers and crew were taken off
some time, possibly as far back as couple
of days before the City of Chester sighted
the wreck, since the Danmark, having left
Christiana on March 26 should under ordin-
airy circumstances have advanced considera-
bly, beyond the position found in. If the
wrecked passengers and crew had not been
picked up they would naturally, even if en-
barkeJ in boats and on RATS, have remained
in the neighbornood of the wreck, the pres
ence of which would be much
more likely to attract passing
steamers than small boats or RATS would.
The city of Chester evidently did not find
the slightest wreckage near the vessel, such
as might be attributed to smashed or other
wise incapacitated boats, whilst the steamer
bore no sign whatever of human life. We
confidently believe, therefore, that, with the
possible exception of single casualties such
as may occur during the transfer Of so many
| people from one vessel to another, the pas
senpers aud crew of the Denmark are safe
| and will ere long be heard of as on board OF
| one of the trans.Atlantic steamers.n
