Enormous Influx of Immigrants.

New YORK, July 1.-TWO thousand,
three hundred and thirty-three immi-
grants arrived today. The superintendent

SELLS BROS Goth ANNUAL TOUR.
A Very Great and Varied Entertain
ment.

Other shows may come and go, but Sell.
Brothers Enormous United Exhibitions, like
Tennyson's Brook, seem destined to .'go on for
ever" They have already been under one and
the same ownership and management longer
than any other similar enterprise now in exist
enee, and their continual increase in size, attrac-
tiveness and popularity is fair sign of health
and longevity Tho Messrs Sells are Legitimate
eDtcrprising Snowman, and honorable men,
with whom it is both pleasurable and profitable
to do business. AS such, both they and their
stupendous and elegant entertainment will
be again most heartily welcome at Seattle on
Monday, August 10. For their present tour,
their wild beast, hippodromatic, circus, spec
ular and other resources of instruction and
amusement have been largely increased, and
they undoubtedly present altogether the biggest
and best show OF its kind in the world. They
manage it in person, and it is SO conducted as
to deserve and obtain universal popularity and
patronage. The nomadic Peeksniffs who, under
the snutfiing pretext of morality, substitute i'm
moral apings of ancient debauchery for first
class circus performance, may well profit by
their example, and abandon their more than
questionable efforts to ''revolutionize the show
business"

NEW YORK, July 29.-In the case of Calm
Bros, Gone & Co., against the collector of San
Francisco for wrongful assessment of the duty
on importations of gray and black astrachans,
the United States board of general appraisers
today decided in favor of the professionals. The
duty was assessed at IS cents per pound and IS
per cent ad valorem as wooden clothes, while
the importer claimed assessment under para
graph 1868, as manufactures of worsted. The de-
cision is an important one, and has long been
looked for.

Mount Airy CMd.) Special
Mrs. Oscar M. Spu1rier began clean
ing house ON Monday, and placed her
eleven-months-old boy in an adjoining
room on the floor to play while she
worked. Once in while she looked in
to see that he was safe from harm, but
did not notice that he pulled off the
table-spread with the sewing basket
on it. The little fellow swallowed
paper, buttons, tacks. and even took
pinsifrom paper and swallowed them
without complaining.
i The mother. later on, discovered what
had been done. She examined his
mouth and found nothing in it, and felt
sure that he had not swallowed any
thing until at about o'clock in the
afternoon the child cried with pain, and
emitted from its mouth a number of
buttons and pins. DIR. Todd was sent
for and gave the child an emetie. Within
thirty-six hours the little fellow emitted
sixty-six articles. They had to keep
moving the little fellow almost con-
stantly, and he bore the pain heroically,
hardly crying. Last night he was
quietly sleeping, and it is hoped that the
worst is over.
Here is a list of the articles he swal-
lowed; Eighteen pins, four needles,
eight tacks (tinned), seven wads OF par

A Russian Prince Detained for
Eight Days.

Chicago Tribune.
Ed0uard Caution, a French traveller,
who was one of the first Europeans to
penetrate into Siberia, was at the Grand
Pacific. He Is perfectly familiar with
the manners and customs of the Rus
SLAMS. 1t was in that connection that
he related the following little incident
which took place while on the road to
Kiev:
I'VE had been travelling all day.
Prince Vladimir, a young Russian Of
ficer, and myself, in the midst of a blind
ing snow storm, and were nigh frozen to
death and half famished. One frequently
drives scores and scores of miles over
these plains before meeting a single
house or human being. Toward even
ing we finally came to a guards fort.
These are built along the etrapes at dis
tances, aud are generally supplied with
dark rooms, where recalcitrant eXileS
are frequently left. The moment the
guard heard us coming he stepped for
ward into the road, rifle in hand, and
waited. When within half dozen steps
away he ordered us to alight and in
quired, in tones that could not be mis-
taken, what we wanted and what we
were doing travelling over a practically
forbidden territory.
II am Vladimir said the prince,
'and these, my friends, are travelling
with me through the country
Let me see your passport asked
the guide.
"'You Ounce said the prince. is it
necessary for member of the royal
family to travel with a passport? Step
out of way, dog aud he attempted to
push him aside. But the guard stood
his ground and leveled his rifle full at
the prince.
81 don't care if you are Alexander
himself, he retorted, but if you don't
show your passport you don't go by
well, to make long story short, we
were held there eight days, until a de-
tachment of military from Kew came
by and Vladimir was recognized, and
we were. liberated with most profuse
apologies.
And would Alexander be held up the
same way if he travelled incognito and
without pasSport"'
HE would, most unqueStionably."

New YORK, Jan. 26-The stock market to-

telegraphic system of the country, was quite
active, but the opportunity to break the mar
ket was too good TO be wasted by the advo-
Gates of lower figures, and a series of raids
upon the Gould stocks and the coal stocks
brought the prices OF all of them down ma
terially, though there was some company for
them among the rest of the list. Stop
orders were uncovered i'll some of the stocks,
and considerable long stock was sold. The
first break was in Missouri Pacific, but it
was sold down by two OF the lead
