DANCING GIRLS OF SIAM.
A Spectator Describes Some of
Their Graceful Performances.

Poised on tip-toe, bending their arms
and limbs back as far as they will reach
and picking up bits of straw with their
eyelids, the dancing girls of Bangkok
are always exercising in the royal GYM
nasium. The new volume in the
Zigzag Series, Journeys in the
scription of the wonderful physical
training of these girls, whose ages vary
from five to twenty years. The curious
and subtle feat of picking up bit OF
straw with the eyelids can be learned
only by the youngest of them, who are
made to practice it in order to render
them flexible in every part of the body.
There are two long rows of benches,
one little higher than the other. On
the lower is row of little girls, and on
the upper bench are laid fine polished
bits of straw. At the sound of the
drum the little girls all together bend
back the head and neck until they touch
the bits of straw, which with wonder
full dexterity they secure between the
corners of the eyelids.
The cup-dance is the most graceful
and poetic of their dances. A row of
young women with a tier of cups OH
their heads take their places III the CEN
ter of the gymnasium. A burst of JOY
Gus music follows. On hearing this they
simultaneously. with military precision,
kneel down, fold their hands and bow
their heads until their foreheads almost
touch the polished marble floor, keep
ing the cups steadily on their heads by
some marvellous jerk of the neck. Then
suddenly springing to their feet, they
describe succession of rapid and intri--
cate circles, keeping time to the music
with their arms, heads and feet.
Next follows miracle of art such as
may be found only among people of the
highest physical training. The music
swells into a rapturous tumult. The
dancers raise their delicate feet, curve
their arms and fingers in seemingly i'm
possible textures, sway to and fro like
withes of willow, agitate all the
muscles of the body like the flutter
Of leaves in soft evening
breeze, but still keep the tier Of
cups OIL their heads. At other times a
cup full of some liquid is placed on the
floor in the centre of the hall. A girl
will spring to her feet and dance about
it in round wild eddies, and suddenly
laying herself down, keeping her arms
folded tight on her breast, will take up
the cup with her lips and drain the
liquid without splitting drop.

IT is not surprising that SCHUYLER
was forced to decline the Office rendered
him by BLAINE when it was discovered
that he had said in his book that "There
is no reason in the nature of things
why, when new party or a new adj
ministration comes into power, the min
listers appointed by the preceding one
should be recalled. The only proper
way of regarding our diplomatic posts is
that so tersely expressed by President
CLEVELAND: Public Office is public

THE crank senator from New Hamp-
shire claims stout supporter in the
president of his scheme to distribute
S70,000,000 of the treasury surplus among
the several states for educational pur-
poses. This project has not been aban-
doned, but will be pressed with all the
vigor possible in the new congress. 1t
is one of the raids to deplete the treas
ury that is full of pernicious possibili-
ties. In spite of its bride, it is not likely
to reach success without the active sup
port of the administration.

One of the Republican party leaders,
who has observed closely and remem-
bers, says public patronage is party
weakness, and has caused the downfall of
every ADMINISTRATION since JACKSON, with
the exception of those of LINCOLN and
GRANT, when war questions were ram
pant. Patronage has been the rock, he
says, on which the administrations were
wrecked, and HARRISON is steering
directly for the rock. Still, good deal
of wrecking of that sort may go on
without damage to the country.

 men Had Left the Building-A Sudden
 Distinguishing of Lights Was tho Only
 Warning.
 GLASGOW, Nov.' 2.-The wall of a building that was being erected along side of Templeton's carpet factory on William street was blown down yester- day evening, An immense mass of de- bris fell on the roof of the weaving de- partment of the factory, crushing it in and burying fifty girls and women. It is probable that forty of those buried are dead.
 The work of searching the ruins for bodies was carried on during the night with the aid of electric lights. By 1 o'clock this morning twenty-five bodies had been recovered. Eighteen persons were badly injured. As far as ascer- tained twenty-five girls are still miss ing.
 Tho accident happened shortly after the workmen had left the new building There were 40 girls at work in the carpet factory. The majority of them made their way out safely, but many had narrow escapes.
 The wrecked building was 300 feet long. It is said that tho foundation was laid over a disued coal pit Survivors of the accident say that a sudden ex- tinguishing of lights was the only warn ing. All made rush for the exit, which quickly became jammed. There most of the bodies were found. The tremor resulting from the fall of the building was felt for great distance.

THE RIOTERS ARRIVE.
They Complain That tho Trouble Wna
 Caused by Inhuman Cruelties.

SauSeN Dy lnhuman CrueItles.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The brigs Alice and Romance have arrived here from Navassa. They had on board 123 negroes, 42 of whom are charged, under oath of Roby, one of the white bosses, with mutiny, riot, and melting to mur- der. Inc other Sl are held as witnesses All of them, criminals and witnesses, were taken to the city jail and locked up.
 The accused, including the eight landed by the Galena last week, will have hearing next Wednesday. United States District Attorney Hayes stated to-day that from the statements ofSome of the negroes it is shown that a con- spiracy to murder the whites was planned some days before the 14th of September, and that on a given signal it was carried out. The attack began in conformity to the plans by beating c. w. Roby, the superintendent of the mines. He was left for dead. The crowd then proceeded to the superin- tendent's quarters and before night five whites were murdered in the manner described in former despatches.
 John Hazard, one of the accused, went to Navassa eight months ago. He found things in pretty bad way. They had to work from ' a. m. until sunset, he says, and wore allowed only four Jumps of hard tack and small piece of corned beef each day. That and other cruelties, such as flashing, tying the men up by the thumbs, he says, caused the trouble.

The Caldwell -Murat Split the Chief Topic
 in London.
 LONDON, Nov. 2.-The collapse of the matrimonial engagement between Miss Gwendolin Caldwell and Prince Murat, close upon the heels of the Hatzteldt- Huntington wedding, has thrown the furnished the music halls with an almost uncharitable fund of gags at the expense of the American girl in search of a title and the impecunious owner of title in search of a fortune
 Opinion with regard to the cause of the rupture is divided, but it must be said that the division is unequal. While there arc some who are outspoken in condemnation of the action of Prince Murat in haggling over the price of his title after having offered it for sale, there is a little larger num- Der who profess to believe and doubt less do believe that the ladys bid was entirely too low, judged from the up- set price of a title of equal rank, but much more battered and disigured, which was disposed of in the matrimon- ial market a few days ago. and regard the Prince as abundantly justified in refusing to close the sale.
 II is not to be underst tood, however, that tho Murat title is permanently withdrawn from the market. It is merely withheld until competition shall become little sharper whom it will doubtless be sold for a good round sum of money acquired in lard speculations and petroleum ventures, or some other of the means of rapidly accommodating 2 wealth which abound in America, en- abling it's new possessor to air her van ity and cause flood of envious tears to flow from the eyes of others of her SC X who may deem themselves less forum

THE MISSING CASHIER.
No Communication Yet Received From
 Defaulter Cresson. -

De1AulCor CreSSOn.
 CoNsHoHocKEN, Pa., Nov. 2.-Cashier Cresson, of the Tradesmen's National Bank, has not been heard from, nor have any letters from him addressed to his family reached Conshohocken postoffice. His aged father-in-law. John Wood, ST. , president of the bank and one of Cres- sons sureties, is lying in a very critical condition from the shock, and Cresson' s wife, who is now with her father, is also sick in bed. She denies all knowledge, or even thought, of her husband s crookedness. An interesting develop ment is the fact that Crasson carried $70,OO worth of life insurance. the premiums on which alone would be double his annual salary. What may be significant statement, once made by Cresson in joking way, was that only two of his policies would be vitia ted by suicide. In whose favor the policies are cannot be learned.
 The experts are still at work on the books, and the shortage will be $lOO, 900, thus wiping out the whole stock. It has been decided to go into liquidation and not resume business. A meeting Of the stockholders will be called as soon as the books are finally straight eneG out and the directors can present a statement.
 De1aultlng and fugitive Cashier Cres- son has not fled far. He is now in Phil adelphia calmly waiting for his rela- tives, the Wood family, to fix up the matter and permit him to return to the bosom of his family. James Ward, a prominent Conshohocken man, told an acquaintance this morning that he met William Henry Cresson in Philadelphia last night and that Cresson told him the thing would soon blow over and he would be received as we'll in Consho- hocken as before.

Fifty Armed Men XIII Six of tho Howard
 Gang.
 P1NEv1LIE, Ky, Nov. 2.-News has just reached here by relia ble parties that Judge Lewis came up with Howard his gang Wednesday. on Martins Fork and killed six of the Howard gang without losing man. Judge Lewis and fifty well-armed men took dinner near the camp of J. P. Meyer & Co.,, on the Louisville and Nashville extension, about thirty miles beyond Cumberland Gap, Friday. Men who spoke prin- cipally with the Judge say that he is determined and never will quit his chase until Howard and his gang are all killed or driven from the country.
 Both parties are being reinforced daily and more bloodshed is expected. It is thought that Howard has gone to Virginia, but is expected to return. The best citizens of Harlan County are joining Lewis, and with such a deter mined leader there is no doubt the law and order party will come out victorious and bfeah up the gang that has been such terror to all Eastern Kentucky for the last twenty-five years.

 Several years before Gen. Grants death, said Mir. Childs, ''he said that his military superior, Winfield Scott, was buried at West Point and he would like to lie there. He also expressed wish that his wife might be buried at his side. At the time of Gen. Grants death New York came quickly forward with its offer to provide resting place. Now, however, influential Grand Army mon have asked that the body be re- moved to Arlington, and special ar engagements have been made to allow ot Mrs. Grant being buried there. United States army officers seem to prefer West Point. Within a few weeks l expect to see Mrs. Grant, and she will, of course, be the first to act"
