ROME, Dot. 3.-Tha French pilgrims who
oaused so much disorder yesterday started
to-day for Modena. Before doing SO they
called at the legation and expressed their
regrets at the occurrences Of yesterday. A
majority of the accounts furnished of the
causes Of yesterdays riotous outbreaks
ngree in the assertion that one of the pill
grims who visited Victor Emanuel's tomb
spat in the book whore all visitors are ex-
pected to inscribe their names. In addi
tion to this the pilgrim wrote. "Viye le
pope! Mort an Roi Humbert! A baa VIC
tor EmanueI!'' An Italian gentleman present
in tho pantheon at the Same time aa the
pilgrims happened to notice one of their
number inscribed in the visitors book, and
enraQed at the insult to the dead, he struck
the writer in tho face. and assisted the
guard to e1pel him, amid the anathemns of
those present. Other pilgrims tried to res
GU etheir companion from the guards, and
in SO doing caused the disturbance. The
crowds attracted to the spot by the dis
order. attacked the pilgrims with knives
and stones. The guards had the utmost
difficulty i'll protecting the pilgrims from
Italians. In spite OF tho appeals Of police
officers and their efforts to allay the anger
of tho populace, the pilprims were chased
all over the city. Harmel, leader of the
French workmen's pilgrimage, called at
the ministry of the interior to-day and dis
claimed any sympathy with the out rage

Boulanger's Funeral.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 3.-The funeral of Gen.
Boulanger took place to-day. AS = large
crowd 5of people was expected the local
authorities had taken the precaution to
provide IN imposing police force for the
emergency. The number of policemen
present, however, wnB unequal to the task
Of keeping the excited throng In anything
like decent order. During the procession
several arrests were made. The coffin OF
the dead general was covered with hundreds
Of floral wreaths tied with tricolored rib
bons, mostly sent from France. Vast crowds
of persons conprcgated along the route.
At the entrance to the cemetery the advance
OF the funeral procession was delayed BY
the actions of the mob, which roughly
crowded around the gate seeking admit
tanoe to the graveyard to witness the last
scenes. Gend'armes, after considerable e1-
ertion, succeeded in clearing the passage,
and the grave was at last reached. The
coffin was then lowered into the grave.
There we're no religious services whatever,
and no speeches were made. The only
ceremony was by Deroulede, who, taking
up tricolor, put the flag to his lips and
placed it on the coffin, ut the same time ex-
claiming, Farewell, nv friend"

emotion, his usual warm mulatto color de-
clined into blush pallor. He passed
us without word or gesture, staring
on us with the face of Satan and plunged
on across the wood for the unpeopled
quarter of the island and the long, desert
beach, where he might rage to- and fro
unseen and pour out the Walls of his
wrath fear and humiliation. Doubtless,

name of the Kaupoi-the rich man-was
frequently repeated. | had made him the

the hour of his disorder. st. John might
have borne malice; and the face with
which he stared upon us in the wood was
not in the least that of the beloved apostle.

Three lasses came from the palace to do
our washing and racket with All Foo.
They were OF the lowest class, hangers-on
kept for the convenience of merchant
shippers, probably low born, perhaps out

of manner or appearance, but likely and

Judge, more than four acres of floor space,
and the great brick building with its big
windows looks more like a factory than a
place for the making of experiments.
Everything in it is of the most complete
kind in the world, from its mechanical
rooms to its musical department, and you
will find no finer photograph gallery any
" there in the country. The head of this,
Professor ". J.. X. Dickson, has an inter-
national reputation as n photographer,
and he brings out every week some new
wonder in his experiments. lie has Won

TESTING ELECIkIC LIGHTS.
Only an electrician can appreciate the
wonders OF the electrical appliances OF this
laboratory. In one large room the ma
chimes are so delicate that solid walls
thirty feet deep have been built under the
slate slabs supporting them. They rest on
