of the ship were to be the propeller

use of light weight aluminium, in con-

LOOKS LIKE OLD TIMES.
A French Mob Play Havoc at a Paris The

After the second performance of Sar-
dou's "Tbermidor," on the night of the
26th, there was riot in the streets near
the theater, caused by the disorderly
conduct of the extreme partisans of rev.
olution who were elected from the the
alter. They Kissed the audience as it
left theater and shouted: "Down with
Sardou," "Long live the republic" In
the streets free fight followed between
the Extremists and the police, but the
audience was finally enabled to leave
the theater, surrounded on all sides by
jeering bowling mob.
More violent scenes were expected
the following night, but the play was
withdrawn. The theater in which
''Thermidor' was produced was be-
spite of their disappointment over the
change in the programme the mob
quickly packed the house after the
doors were opened The rising of the
curtain was the signal for violent rival
cries of give Thermidor," GA bas
Thermidor," etc. The tumult increased
in violence until the younger COquelin
stepped before the curtain and said
he was compelled to announce that
the performance would proceed no
further, and that the ticket money would
be returned at the doors. The audience
departed greatly excited, but no serious
disorder ensued. 1t is rumored that NJ
Claretie has resigned, and that NJ. Lar
roumet has been dismissed. These ru-
mors are not confirmed, however. The
theater loses 100000 francs in advance
booking, in addition to the cost OF
mounting the play.
Minister Constans at first decided to
protect ''Thermidor," but after the min
lister had consulted with the project OF
police it was decided to prohibit the
performance. Much Indignation is ex-
pressed at the government for giving
way to a group of Socialist fanatics.

PARIS, Feb. 2.-Qispatches received
from Rome by the newspapers of this
city agree in stating that King Humbert
has regarded Sig. Crispi's resignation as
final, and that the King has not asked
him to withdraw it. King Humbert
has summoned the Marquis A. di
Rudini, second of the four yice-presi-
dents of the Chamber of Duputies, to
form cabinet.
In the elections yesterday, the Con-
servatives secured majority in Madrid
and Barcelona. In the latter place po-
lice had to be called upon to dispense a
number of rioters. There was no dis
order anywhere else. Many persons
abstained from voting.
Yesterdays elections were the first
held under the new universal suffrage
law, and they resulted in gain for the
Conservatives. The latter obtained six
seats ia Madrid and the Liberals two
seats. The Conservatives were victori-
GUS in the provinces.
On learning of the revolt in Oporto
the government here ordered the troops
to be confined in their barracks, and
other precautionary measures to be
taken on the frontier. The official press
urges the governments of Spain and
Portugal to be more watchtul of the

TWO MEN SUFFOCATED.
Disastrous Fire in the big Chaplin IrO
Mine.

Disastrous Fire in the big Chaplin Iron
Mine.
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Jan. 30.-This
city was startled last evening about 6
o'clock by an alarm and the report that
the Chaplin mine was on fire. AS the
crowds hurried to the scene smoke
was seen issuing in great black clouds
from "C' shaft, which left no
room to doubt that a fierce fire was rag
ing underground. The worst feature of
the underground fire is that it can't be
reached. The mine quickly becomes
filed with smoke, and several unfortu-
nate miners who failed to discover their
danger at once were cut Off.
The fire companies were speedily
pouring water down the shaft, but it was
soon apparent that their efforts were
wasted. The smoke increased and soon
began to issue from "B" shaft, the large
timber shaft near the saWmill, and
other openings, and it was decided to
close down ali the shafts except sc" and
await Developments.
Fortunately the fire occurred during
the supper hour, when few men were in
the mine; but it was soon reported that
six men were underground and every
rescue them. Capt. Martin Colds
worthy descended "B" shaft in
hopes of reaching them, but was forced
to return unsuccessful. Later, however,
four of the imprisoned men were res
cued through the timber shaft, but two
Thomas Edwards and Jerry Berrets
were sufocated before they were
brought to the surface.
& no with CHI
engine room has been blasted out in the
solid rock, where large engine is sta
toned to operate the underground haul
age sytem. This room is timbered up
with two sets of timbers, and is quite
dry. There is also tool
box, waste, oil and other COM
bustible material in it, and it
is supposed that this is where the fire is.
If so 1t is thought that the fire cannot
spread to other parts Of the mine, be-
cause the mine is wet one,
and the timbers elsewhere are con-
stantly saturated with water. But
the mine, including "C' shaft, are
closed, there are hopes of smothering
the fire, but there is enough material in
this room for it to feed upon to cause it
to smolder for some time, and
it is impossible to predict
Row long the mine will be
closed on this account
The fire will not be so serious calam-
ity as the fires in the Calumet and Hecla
mine. because the Chaplin is not so
deep, is much wetter, and the fire
is located where it will finally
90 out Of itself for lack of material to
feed upon. From present appearances
it is expected that the mine will open
up again in week or two at the far
thest.
The damage, aside from the stopping
of the workings for that length Of time,
will be confined to the engine room.
At the Chaplin Mining Company's of
fee it was stated that a dispatch from
Iron Mountain conveyed the informa-
ton that fire had broken out in
an underground engine house,
but that this morning the fire
had been brought under CONTROL and
that tbs miners could again descend the
shaft. Six of the men who were down
in the mine when the fire broke out had
been rescued, it was stated, and work
could be resumed at once. It was not
thought that the damage would be
great.

sturdy miners were sent into eternity,

MISSIONER was born in Lyons, Febru-
airy q, 1873 He came to Paris in 1880 and
studied under Leon Cogniet. In the
branch of painting ne pursued, his style
was formed chiefly by study of the old
masters of the Dutch school, particularly
of Terburg and Mitsu. He made his first
impression on the public as an illus
traitor Of books. The Illustrations
IN his ''Paul and Virginie" and
"Chaumiere Indienne" are masterpieces in
their way, and truly helped establish his
fame through the civilized world. M.
MISSIONER was great in his art and the
works he has left ensure him a reputation
far ahead of most Of his contemporaries.
At the beginning of his career, steering
clear Of all the theories and novelties of
his day, and submitting cheerfully, for
love of his art TO all the hardships and
deprivatiOnS which make the ups and
downs of painters early life, he worked
out alone, by the force of his own indi-
viduality. his own salvation, acquiring
fame and wealth. Concerning his person
