An Attack on Stanley.

The "Diaries and Letters OF Major
Bartelot," the commander of Stnnley's
rear guard, have been published in Lon
don. They contain serious charges against
the African explorer. The book was edited
by Walter Bartelot who, In the preface,
says:
at Is not likely that this book would
have been written, or one word OF its con-
tents over been published had justice even
been partly done, or kindness shown by
the leader Of the party to the officer who
was left Mt Yambuya with his impede
ments, stores and baggage
Charges Of malignity, ingratitude, mis-
representation and desertiOn are then
brought against Stanley. Besides other
less important accusations, the issue pre-
scented is whether the misfortunes Of the
rear column were due TO tho INDIGESTION OF
Major Bartelot and that OF his compan-
ions, or whether Stanley himself was pri-
marty responsible.
In his book Mr.. Stanley finds fault be-
cause the rear column did not follow the
advance column rs directed. Mr.. Barte'
lot asserts that his brothers diaries and
letters, rs well Us the testimony. OF the
surviving officers, show that Stanley made
it utterly impossible to carry out his or
ders, Us he took all the strong, able men
and thoss Of good character with him,
leaving to the rear guard the sick, feeble
and incorrigibo

STORM ON THE COAST.
Il overwheIms Shippins and Carries
Everything Before II.

Dispatches from New York state
that another tremendous wind storm mas
swept along the Atlantic eosst, flooding
the smaller seaport towns and sumner re-
sorts, strsnding vessels, and carrying as
struction before II. The storm began
there carly on Thursday morning and con-
tlnued until late Friday afternoon. Inc
gale came from the sea, and II brought
with 1t binding rain, which Tell I'M
ceasingly for over twenty-four hours. Az
sea the rain fell in torrents, and the tom
pest which gathered strength throughout
Thursday night, was sweeping inland a.
the rate of forty.flve miles IN hour FRIDAY
morning. Such waves along the Jersey
coast and shores OF Long Island have not
been seen for years before. 1t washed
away bulk heads, destroyed fishing crafts
along tho shores and ruined in many
cases, the labor Of years. They brooked
no obstacle and there is no way OF estimat
ing at this time the vast amount Of DAM
age wrought.
The operator ut Sandy Hook station sent
up word at midnight that he could not see
anything of shore. Despite this fact tue
steamer Lahan, from Bremen, with "'o
cabin and 75G steerage passengers on board
was at that moment of tho bar. Tue
waves were making clean breach over
her, flying clean over her bridge, and Cap
tain Sellmyrs said that 1t would not be
safe to anchor.
Tho orders were given and the big
steamer slowly worked FOUND unit! her
nose was thrust into the teeth OF the gale.
Then she began " force her way out TO
sea again, and not until she was seventy
five miles OFF shore did her prudent COM
mander lay to for the night. She picked
up pilot or shore who knew what he was
about 1t was lucky thing for the La
han that she secured pilot before reach
Ing Sandy Hook, for u man stood small
chance of boarding vessel in the trench
dous sea running on the bar yesterday
The Lahau reached Sandy Hook again at
i;i5 O'Clock Friday forenoon, and with
the exception Of the Old Dominion she
was the only vessel reported that was able
to reach her pier.
Chief Officer Meow of tho Lahan said
the waves were of prodigious size and the
Lahan's safety was in running out to sea
as she did. The voyage over, no said, was
tcmpestuous nearly all tho way, and al
midnight last Monday, Just east OF the
Banks, the Lahan ran into an electrical
storm which lasted ten minutes. Balls OF
fire seemed TO balance themselves on her
masthcads, and they darted along her
stays and played about her metal work
Illuminating the air for several feet around
them. The sky was black except when
rent asuuder by the vivid flashes Of light
ming, followed by thunder peals that fairly
drowned the noise Of the tempest.

Bernhard as CLEOPATRA"

PARIS, Oct. 23.-Sardou's version
OF cleopatra" written for Sarah Bern :
hardt, had its first production this even
ing at the Porte Saint Martin theatre
Every available seat was occupied. The
performance made II profound impression.
The marvellous talent OF Sarah Bernhardt
was displayed TO the greatest possible
measure, and sho received u perfect ova-
ton. In the fourth act where Cleopatra
overhears the lovo-making Of Antony and
Octavia, she brought down the house. The
scenic effects were much applanded, es-
pecially those In the first and second acts.
Among those present were the Duchesse
D'Uzes, NJ. Mchsn, NJ. Clemenccau, mos,
OF the ministers, Lord Lytton, the British
ambassador, and Lady Lytton and many
other prominent persons.
The scenic display was rich, artistic,
even poetic, Every role was crcditably
and thoghtfully rendered. but the work OF
the support was merely accessory and
subordinate TO the supreme central figure
In which was Bernhardt's triumph. Even
Sardou's text seemed in recitation so abso
lu,ely absorbed by the great artist rs 70
lose all trace OF the authors individuality.
Nine. Bernhard tinted her compile xlon
but slightly and appeared with dark brown
flowing tresses. She appeared In five dit.
ferent costumes during the tragedy. Each
of them consists mainly Of a piece of cloth
six yards long wound around her body and
held in place by brooches formed OF scara-
bees and various other gems.
The nth dress is purely Egyptian In
style, tho design being copied from MI ex-
ample in the Boulak museum This cos
tune is respondent with gold and gems.
The wearer's feet are entirely bare except
for tiny gold embroidered slippers and her
fingers and toes are covered with glitter
ing rings.

THE esARINo SEA DISPUTE.
Sir Julian Paunesfote VIII Propose
Arbitration.

Arbitration.
In u recent interview the British
minister spoke Of tho settlement of tho
Behring Sea controversy As follows:
u shall ronew to Mr.. Blaine my propo-
sltion for arbitration, for that 10 the only
sure remedy for the existing condition OF
sRairs. Despite the fact that tho articles
looking to this were not made on lust
April when presented them, 1t speaks
well for Secretary Blaine and tho people
Of the United States that NO ucts Of hostil.
lty were perpetrated during the scaling
season Just closed. There has however,
been changes In the negotiations since
Lord Salisbury submitted the proposition
for arbitration to Mr.. Blaine, to which, by
tho way, the latter has vouchsafed no re-
ply. Still 1t is an important matter. and
| presume the secretary Of state desires to
consider 1t very fully and iu all its bear
Jugs before making any recommendation :.
"From the commencement the object OF
negotiation has beon the preservation Of
the fur seal species for the benefit Of man
kind, and no considerations OF advantage
70 any particular nation, Or of benefit to
any private interests, should fall into the
question. Hence, thcre is urgent necessity
for n mixed commission Of two persons,
who should BIO allowed at least two years
In which to make On investigation OF this
question, and submit the result OF their
finding to the governments US speedily us
possible. Pending tho result OF such an
inquiry 1t Is improbable that any apprccia.
tive dimiuution Of the seal species would
take place. But in order to quiet all ap-
prehension on that SCORE l propose the fol-
lowing provision TO the regulations:
"First-That pelagic sealing be prch;b-
tied In thh Behring sen, sea Of Ocbotsk
and adjoining waters, during the months
of October, November and December, the
