THE EXILED QUEEN.
a Brief Sketch of the Life of the Unfortunate
Lady,

The story Of Queen Nataie's life since
her marriage to Milan has been one Of con-
tinued insult, persecution and misery The
charges brought against her by her jealous
husband were all disprOyed, and his con-
duet provoked so much scandal that his
subjects rose in open rebellion, and showed
by overt acts that their sympathes were
entirely with the Queen whom he had en-
deavored to dishOnor and bring into dsre-
pute. The crowning act of villainy has
just been reached, but if the telegraphic re-
ports are substantially correct the end is
not yet, and the maligned and prosecuted
Queen may yet see day Of justification.
Queen Natalie is the daughter of a Colonel
in the Russian Imperial Guard, Kechko, of
Bessarabia, ana of Princess Pulcheria
StOurdZa, a ROumaDiaD. She was born
May II, 1859, and married the relgning
Prince OF Serva in October, 1876. Their
only child, Alexander, was born August
IA, 1876. His mother has superiutended his
education.
1t is difficult to describe the rare and ex-
ceeding beauty of the Queen. Her classical
features have at the same time a command
ing royal majesty and the charm OF play
full girl. Her fair broad forehead is crowned
by prOfusiOn of Jet black hair; her almond
shaped brown eyes have a look at once in
eXpresSibly tender and sparkling with intel
lgence; her rippling smile and silvery
laughter irradiate clear and pale complex
lou, recalling her own Russian SHOWS,
warmed into richer eOlOring by the East
ern suns. She Is tall and surprisingly
graceful, and her manners have O subtle
charm, partly royal and wholly feminine.
The Queen is well read and possesses
solid and varied instructions. She speaks
French quite luently and takes particular
pleasure in reading the poetry Of France, as
well as all the publications treating on his
tory, which is her favOrte study. On her
| Do0k-shelyes, besides the classics and Sc
riOus volumes, can be seen the works of
1aine, COppia, with his musical verse; Sully
Prudhomme, the satirist L'Amand and
Alphonse Daudet. Before the fatal Servian-
Bulgarian war broke out while she was en-
jOying her popularity and the glory Of her
late accession to the royal crown, Queen
Natalie had made her remote little court the
resort Of Western elegance, wit and refine
ment, and enlivened it with receptions over
which she presided with juvenile gayety
and womanly tact. At the time of her mar
riage TO the man who since applied for di-
yOrce, he was known as Prince Milan. On
March 6, 1882, he was proclaimed King
Milan /, and renounced the throne in favor
of his son on March 6, 1889. Being by birth
a Russian, Queen Natalie has naturally
sided with the pro-Russian cabal in Servia
and has provoked the eninity of the friends
of Austria, toward whom her husband has
leaned.

the tax and then were smuggled Into the
United States. 1t would be unwise Tor the
Dominion Government to adopt harsh meas
ureS toward the Chinese while trade IS De-
ing developed with China. The time was
opportune for this, as the United States Dy
its policy had antag0niZed the Chinese.
BERLIN. May 19-BiSmarck'S old sugges-
ton, that the German labor agitations might
be checked by the introduction OF Chinese
labor, seems prophetic in the light OF events
now attracting attention in the labor word.
Already many natives of Germany have
been displaced by Chinese, especially at
Hamburg. A Mecklenburg paper regularly
notes contracts for Chinese labor, the pre-
vailing term Of agreement being for ten
years, a cash payment of 300 marks being
made in advance. The fact of the Oh inese
having come under contract is often efectu-
ally concealed, but when it has become
known IN certain cases it has caused very
bitter uutcIy on the part Of the native work
men. The newspapers are taking the ques-
ton up and expressing the hope that the
Government will interfere TO prevent what
bids fair to be a system OF virtual coolle
slavery.

A YOUNG GIRL'S RUSE.
She Ignites Her Fathers Boat and EIope
During the Confusion.

She Ignites Her Fathers Boat and EIopes
During the Confusion.
Sadie McClaye, IA years old, Is the spirited
daughter Of james McClave, a Morris Canal
bOatman. She adopted a novel and startling
method on Saturday morning to escape the
vigilance of her father and flee with the man
of her choice, says New York special to
the Globe Democrat. The latter, man of
3d. who was known as James Moran. was
employed on canal boat unloading coal at
the Orange-street bridge in Rosevllle and
directly adjoining the Sadie, owned by
McClave and named after his daughter.
McClave did not relish the idea of his
brignt-eyed child desertiDg the old canal
boat to fill the cabin OF anOther's and when
Moran began to pay marked attention to the
girl he was unCeTemOniOusly ordered TO give
up his suit. Notwithstanding every pTecau-
ton on the part of McClave, the pair met
frequently, and finally Moran induced his
child-sweetheart 10 elope with him. A pan
OF action was arranged that was worthy OF a
farce comedy. The girl slept in the cabin.
Above Sadie's bunk was a small window,
and when she climbed into the bunk on
Friday night without removing her clothes,
one end OF string was fastened TO her little
hnger and the other hung out OF the window.
Shortly after IL O'Clock sharp pull on the
cord aroused the young woman from tltful
SIulnOoh' 1hlS was SlBUdl from ueI SNeot-
heart who was on the outside awaiting her
appearance. S.ealthily entering the kitchen
she drew a shovelful of live Goals from the
stove and placed them under her fathers
bunk. A scream aroused Captain McClave
and when his daughter told him that the
boat was on fire he sprang out of the bunk
and, breaking open the cabin door, which he
had locked to keep his caughter captive,
shouted for help. A dozen boatmen re-
spOnded to his cries, and just in time, for the
coverings OF the bed, which had been cast
off when the captain sprang out, had taken
fire from contact with the Goals. Within
ten minutes, however, the fire had been ex-
tinguishcd, and, after the excitement had SUBJ
sided, McClave bethought himself Of his
daughter. A thorough search for her on the
piers and in the neighboring canal-boats
proved fruitless. and upon returning to his
own boat the captain came upon note
which his daughter had left, informing him
that she had eloped with Jimmie"
Captain McClaye said last night that his
only regret was that he would now have to
pay somebody else to do the work that Sadie
had been accustomed 10 do.

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
Proceedings Of The Opening Session Of The
TraHS-MiSS9uri Congress.

DENVER, May 19.-The hotels are crowded
with delegates from all over the country TO

The North, South and West sank all sec
ti0nal interests at the first session, which

Gated sectional bitterness, but warned the

questions awaiting s. ttlement. In New En-
gland, a corner Of the country controlled by
the wealth of the people, they dominated
politics and succeeded in demOnetiZng sill
yer. 1t had forced the commerce Of this vast
area west Of the Mississippi River and in-
terdicted commercial exchanges.
At the afternoon session Mayor Shake
speare of New Orleans made speech, in
which he referred to the recent events in
New Orleans. He said he thanked the peO-
pie of the United States for the manner in
which he was upheld in trying to do his
duty as an American citizen. He was glad
that it was himself who was put in a posi-
ton to euunciate those few ideas Of Ameri-
can principles that we're left TO contend for
American citizens should have no fear Of
ASSASSINATION.
Ex-Governor Anthony Of Kansas in an
address complimented ShakesDeare's man

said: I'VE Open our doors wide for the ma

train was torn to atoms and the track
ripped from the road bed and great hole
torn in the earth.
There were twenty -four cases of dynamite
In the first car on the train. each containing
fifty pounds. A spark from the engine. it
is said, set fire to a greasy rope c0iled in
front of the packages and the explosion
followed. It's force was terrific. The
walls of houses in Tarrytown. two miles
away, were shaken and some cracked, and
window glass fell in showers to the side
walks. Scores Of clocks were stopped at
II 20 o'clock.
The car in which the dynamite was
stored and those following it were COM
pleteIy demolished, while the bodies of the
unfortunates on the train were hurled in

and legs being torn off. As rapidly as pos
slble the wounded were cared for by sur

PITTsBURG, May ia dispatch from
Scottdale says: The miners of this region
demonstrated their intention to remain cut
in more than one way to-day. Every effort
was made by the operators to force the men
in the convention to vote to return to work,
but the work of the leaders in opposition
was too powerful, and they voted to remain
out to man. Every district in the region
was represented. Several riots occurred
this evening, one striker being shot and
slightly wounded. One of the Seceders from
the strikers ranks, who has been working,
was hooted by crowd or strikers on
the street and was driven into the
ScOttdale House by mob of 1000 men that
would not diSperSe until the tire-hose was
turned on them. Shortly after two deputies
from the Valley Works tried to assert their
authority over the maddened mob. A rush
was made for the deputies, one of whom
fired, woundiug a striker.
The deputies were trampled under foot in
a moment, but were picked up aud carried
away by the town policemen, while the mob
fled before another assault from the Fire
Department. Soon another rush was made
and the deputies wete taken from the
police and pounded and kicked in q horrible

COAL AT LAST.
Tho ESmefaIda Succeeds in Obtaining Sup
plies at Acapulco.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Secretary Tracy
said tonight that the Charleston could seize
the Itata in Chilean waters. but declined to
say whether she would or not. No more
news is expected from the Charleston before
she reaches Panama. A cablegram in
cipher came from Admiral Brown, aboard
the San Francisco, now at Iquique, Chile,
but Secretary Tracy declined to say what
news it contained.
SITUATION AT ACAPULCO.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 19.-Dispatches
from the Pacific Coast seem to indicate that
the Itata is already far out of reach of the
Charleston. From these dispatches also it
appears that the Itata passed outside Of
Acapulco Friday last, and the Charleston
reached that port Oh Saturday. The Esmer-
aida is still at Acapulco awaiting coal which
is said to have been ordered from the Uni ted
States.
Another dispatch from Acapulco says:
1t is believed that the Esmeralda has Sc
cretly loaded some coal and was TO receive
more to-day outside the harbOr

New YORK, May ia special to the
Mail and Express from Acapulco says: 1t
seems now certain that the ESmPralds must
have recourse to some desperate means to
secure coal, for coal she must have II She IS
to get back to Chile 1t is announced to-day
that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
ordered its agent here not to sell 10 the
ESmel aida any coal under any clrcum-
stances This order was communicated to
the commander of the Esmeralda, and it is
now thought extremely probable the
Chilean vessel will take coal by force.
This is thought more probable, as it is
now almost certainly known that the
Esmeralda's Captain is now in command
of the Itata, having boarded her when the
two vessels met off this port on Friday
night. Should the acting Captain of the
Esmeralda decide to take coal by force
there is absolutely nothing to prevent him
from hauling his vessel alongside the coal
bunkers and taking what he wants, for the
forts are worthless as against modern ord
nance, and the EsmeTalda could, if mo-

New YORK, May IA Washington

San Diego the other day, just after the Itata
had gone to sea, Il long cipher dispatch was
sent to her. The department officials were
much surprised 10 receive an answer saying
the dispatches could not be read, as there
was no cipher code aboard the ship. The
Omaha was on her way home from the

upon to explain why the Omaha was at sea

THE NEW DOCTRINE.
Report on the Revision of Rules of tn
Presbyterian Church.

Report on the Revision Of Rules of the
Presbyterian Church.
New YORK, May 19.-FOr two or three
years the Presbyterian Church has been in
suspense regarding its venerable system of
doctrine. After Il vigorous contest a simple
overture was sent by the General Assembly
TO the Presbyteries in 1889 asking if they
desired a revision of the Westminster con-
fession Of faith. The debates between the
Conservatives and Radicals, SO called,
eclipsed all other controversies in the church
a year ago, aud the last Assembly appointed
a Committee on Revision of the Confession
OF Faith, which was made up of theological
professors, college presidents, pastors and
elders. chosen from both parlles, This COM
mittee has prepared It's report, which will be
given in full in the Tribune tomorrow. 1t
Will be submitted probably this week to the
Assembly, which meets on Thursday in
Detroit. After the PreSbytereS have passed
judgment upon tile report It Will be revised
by the committee and sent TO The next As
sembly for adoption. Two chapters have
been inserted in the book, and many of the
changes suggested by the Presby last
year are embodied in this new matter. An
important feature of the report was the con-
cluSlOn OF the committee at the outset that
no alteration or amendments should be
approved that would in any way impair the
Integrity Of the reformed or CalYinstic sys-
TEN of doctrine taught in the confession.
The committee says: 1T has been through
out the aim Of the committee to bridge over
the gulf that appears to lie between the
spirit of the confession and that of our
church in these latter days, and relieve as
far as practicable the presumption in our
standards of Gods sovereignty with the
rays of his love. The greatest change in
the book, as was expected, has taken place
in the third chapter, which treats of eter-
nal DEGREES. This has been recast rather
than rewritten, and the expressions consid-
cred Objectionable by so many have disap-
peared. The new confession has nothing 10
say about men and angels being foreor-
daned to everlasting death" Butitwillre-
quire a theological mind to see the distinc-
tions between TO pass by" and mot to
elect unto everlasting life," the latter being
the new reading. The reference to ''iniantS

TORONTO (Ont.), May l9.-The May bulle-
tin of the Bureau of Industries gives cheer
ing forecast of the yield of fruits and grains.
So bright an outlook, it says, has not been
presented for many years for a full wheat
crop in Ontari o. Winter rye is in fair con-
diton. OF the other grain crops little is
said. There is decrease in the area Of
barley sown, owing to the fear of the Nc
Kinley bill interfering with the price. Some
fields formerly devoted to barley are sOwn
with spring wheat, oats and peas. Fruit
trees and grape vines came through the win
ter well, and will likely have large yield.
But little injury was done by the recent
frOStS,
