A NIHILIST OPPORTUNITY

Taken Advantage of, Is the Present Cholera
Scare In Russia-PIague Riots Charged
to a Revolutionary P1ot-Inhsmma-
tory Ideas sown Broadcast
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29.-Riots arising
out of the cholera panic and directed against
the medical authorities have occurred in
Tashkend. Troops have vigorously sup
pressed the riots. killing and wounGing
seven persons
A ship has been anchored in the Volga
near NJni-Novgorod, for the reception of
cases of suspicious illness. The vessel is
guarded by military, as it is feared
the excited populace may attack the ship.
The crews of vessels lying nearby refuse
to serve. while hundreds of laborers have
become panic stricken and are fleeing from
the district. The Sanitary Inspector tele-
graphs that the inhabitants of Mini Nov
gorod itself are quiet and do not oppose the
measures taken against cholera.
Confidential reports say that the Russian
Government is convinced that the recent So
called cholera riots we're due to Nihilists.
They are evidence OF increased activity on
the part of the Nihilists who have seized
the outbreak of cholera as pretext to ex-
cite the Empire. The poor are melted, not
only against the medical authorities, but
also against the well-to-do classes. Threat
ening letters have been scattered broadcast,
and citizens in many towns are afraid to ask
for police protection. Revolutionary
agents assure the poorer classes that they
will be killed in the cholera hospitals,
while the rich will be spared.

the organist of a prominent Catholic Church
in East Eighty-second street, the priest
said, and as she was not able to leave the
carriage her companion went into the
church and explained the matter to Canon
Petit, who was then officiating.
The lady was a member of the Episcopal
Church, the organist said, and had not been
able to put either foot To the ground for 20
years. Being a woman of great wealth, she
had had the advantage of the skill of the
best physicians In this country and in
Europe, but without receiving the slightest
benefit.
IT have induced her to come here" the
organist went on, ''and hope it can be ar
ranged so that she may have the relic ap-
piled, as am confident that it will effect
cure"
Canon Petit was so impressed that he car
ried the relic out to the carriage and
touched the little casket containing the
sacred fragment to the lifeless limbs.
1.-THE sick woman bowed her head and
prayed silently for few moments" said
Father Papillion, "and then, to the surprise
and delight of ali who saw her, she rose to
her feet, and stepping to the sidewalk, en-
tered the church and walked firmly down
the aisle to the altar, where she again knelt
in prayer" @
The lady was so overcome by Joy at her
recovery, the father said, that she declared
her intention of donating large sum of
money to the church tor the purchase of q
jeweled chalice and golden paten.
She then re-entered her carriage without
aid and was driven home. Father Papillion
continued, "where we afterward learned she
was able to walk upstairs to her room with
out the slightest difficulty"

Many Wonderful Cures Reported From q
New York Shrine-Tbe Lame Made to
Walk. the Blind to See-Some Curious
Cases Told About
NEW YORK. July 29-Faithful thousands
thronged again to-day to the little Church of
Saint Jean Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth
street. where reposes the sacred fragment of
the forearm of Saint Anne, mother of the
Virgin Mary. All sorts and conditions of
men. women and children are among the
visitors to the shrine of the venerated relic
which is said to have accomplished such
miraculous cures.
AL who come seem to be imbued with
feeling of the deepest reverence, and even
when the crowd is at its height and the lit
tie church is packed to its utmost capacity
there is an utter absence of disorder of any
kind, and scarce whisper disturbs the
so olemn quiet of the scene, and even the
clinking of crutch or cane against the
bare floors of the aisles can be dis tinctly
heard.
81 have seen nothing in Europe or in
this country to compare with the da lily
scenes at Saint Jean Baptiste," said Father
Papillion Yesterday. Such evidences of
piety among young and old alike he had
never encountered, he said. "While
have seen crowds equally as large at the
shrine of the other relic of Saint Anne at
the Church of Saint Anne de Beaupre, in
Montreal" the priest continued, there was
always so much hustle and confusion that it
detracted, to my mind, from the solemnity
of the scene"
Here all seem to be absorbed In their de-
votions from the time they enter the church
until they leave, he said, and this applied
as much to those who were in perfect bodily
health as to those who came in search of re-
lief Many fresh evidences of the power of
the relic in curing disease were given to-
day, the father said, though the names of the
fortunate ones were withheld at their re-
quest.
1.-THE most remarkable case that has come
under my observation" said Father Papil-
driven to the church during the morning in
her own carriage"
She was accompanied bya friend who is

and both heard the cry at the same time.
Then ensued race to the rescue that was
watched with intense interest. Both men
bent to their oars and sent their boats scud-

swiftness that sent the spray flying from the
prows of their crafts. As the two boats
drew near to the spot Hammer disappeared

and dragged hip into the boat. the act re-

Place a Factor Despite the Little

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9-[Specidl. J.
The departure from Honolulu of the British
cruiser Champion to seize Johnston Island
has occasioned interest in San Francisco,
where the Americans who claim its
ownership, belong. That it is an
American possession which the Champion is
about to take possession of, there can be no
doubt. A Washington dispatch to-day
says that the State Department has
gathered clear proof of American title to
the island, which the British now wish to
grab and use as a relay station for their
proposed cable from Honolulu to New
Zealand.
Captain Roberts, of this city, who is one
of the present owners, said to-day that
there was no question of the Amer
lean title to the island. Fully
$50. 900 had been expended on the island
He and his partner, Mayors, had sent a
sloop and bark down there, but of late
had not done anything, as the guano was
not first class.
"IIhe island" said Captain Roberts, '1ies
in the rainy belt, and the richer portion of
iuc SuduO uCpOSlb Is ndSLcu Oub W rcd
One cargo was taken from there to New
York, but the charterer of the ship lost
$50, 900. The island would be valuable to
the United States for many purposes, and
would be Just as important to England. 1t
lies Just south of the direct line route to
China, and is on the proposed route of the
English cable from New Zealand to Homo
lulu.
In case of war the Hawaiian Islands and
the Samoan Islands would be neutral, but
Johnston Island is an important position,
and could be used as station
by the Government in possession.
There is excellent anchorage there, al
though about $4,000 worth of dynamite
was needed to blow up some of the coral in
order to widen the mouth of the harbor.
The island is about six feet above water
on the right side of the harbor, and vessels
can lie right alongside without any wharf.
In troublesome times the island wonld
be worth great deal to this country. No
other island as suitable for a station could
be purchased for $500, 600
There can be no doubt about the island
being the property of Americans. Mayers
and myself have the original papers of
Parker and his deed to us. We also have
an affidavit sworn to by him before Cheever,
then clerk of the United States District
Court, in which be stated that he discovered
Johnston Island and never transferred his
interest to anv corporation,

SAVED BY A VETERAN.

Captain Williams, Fleet Marine Officer,
Rescues Child From Drowning.
NEW LONDON, CONN, July ga g.
year-old son of Seymour Hart, of Utica,
N. Y, fell from the wharf here yesterday
afternoon and but for prompt action on the
part of Captain c. F. Williams, United
States Marine Corps, of the Philadelphia,
would certainly have been drowned. The lit
tie fellow was sinking and had almost ceased
to struggle when Captain Williams hap
pened to approach the end of the wharf and
saw the commotion in the water. Without
moments hesitation he plunged to the
child's rescue. Had he waited to call the
boatman or loungers near at hand it would
have been too late Captain Williams is
portly and a veteran of the civil war. He
will soon obtain his majority. Secretary
Tracy is expected to arrive here in the
Dolphin tomorrow noon. The squadron
will probably leave for Bar Harbor Sunday
morning.
