LONDON, May 16.-A Berlin dispatch
says that the Empress Frederick is not
at all satisfied with the prospect of her
youngest daughter, Margaret, becoming
empress of all the Russias, and is in
clincd to oppose the step. The princess
herself is deeply attached TO her mother,
and will presumably follow her advice.
The stories of i'll treatment of the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth Of Hesse, Queen Vic
toria's granddaughter, by her husband,
the Grand Duke Sersius of Russia. have
created painful feeling in the English
royal family, and there is a growing
Prejudice both in England and Germany
against Russian marriages. The kaiser
is not at all pleased with the opposition
of his mother to his latest scheme, she
having previously broken up u proposed
engagement Of the Princess Margaret to
the heir of the Duchy of Luxemburg.

A Mexican IlnIsc Christ.

Ell PAso, Tex, May 1G-According to
information received here remarkable
condition of affairs has existed in the
Mexican village Of Tomachic in south
west chihuahua. For several months
the village has been in open rebellion
against the government. The trouble
was caused by the appearance in the
village some time ago of an old maa
who proclaimed himself as the true
Christ. He impressed himself so thor
oughly upon the simple minded villagers
that they abandoned their work to fol
low the alleged Christ. Troops We're
sent by the government to the village,
with orders TO stop the meetings of the
followers of the man. The people, how
ever. exhortcd by their leader, attacked
the soldiers and drove them to the noun
tains, several being killed in the fight.

A woMANs CRIME.
A Ballet Girl Murdered by a Jealous
Rival.

WARSAW, May 16.-Upper society cir
cles at Warsaw are stirred by tragedy
involving a story of Jealousy and muir
der. Josephine Gerlach had the repu-
tation of being the most beautiful ballet
girl in Warsw. She was of German
parentage, with blue eyes, light hair.
regular features and a faultless com
plexion. Her beauty made up for what
she lacked in dancing ability, and ever
since her advent on the stage here she
was the craze of the Polish nobility,
both young and middle aged.
A few days ago the town was shocked
by the announcement that Josephine
Gerlach had been found murdered in
her lodgings. There were evidences that
she had not given up life without a
struggle, and her disordered attire
showed the clutch of bloody hands.
Searching inquiry has brought out the
fact that woman of high position,
named Bogusluwa Crezicka, had been
heard to utter threats against the ballet
girl. The police, in view of the fact
that Boguslawa answered the descrip-
ton of u woman who had been seen at
Josephine's lodgings, did not hesitate
to arrest her.
The prisoner confessed both the crime
and the motive. Joseph Gerlach, she
said, ruined her happiness, and she re-
solved upon revenge. She went to the
girls room rs if upon a friendly visit,
and, watching her opportunity, struck
her with the hammer. The girl at
tempted resistance, but Boguslawa struck
her again, this time breaking her skull
and Draining her. She then stabbed her
repeatedly with the dagger. After com
mitting the deed she robbed the room
of the jewelry and money she found
there,

A GREAT LOCKOUT.

Mississippi.
THE WORLDS FAIR WILL SUFFER,

England and their 10000 employees
Saturday evening at o'clock was the
time set for the lockout in the notifica-
ton sent some time ago to the Granite
Cutters', Granite PAYERS and Quarry
mems unions, and the men will not re-
turn to work unless the manufacturers
agree to sign the scale of wages from
May to May and not from January to
January.
The full effect of the lockout will not
be felt for few days, as it will take n
little time for the walking delegates of
the building trades to order strikes on
the buildings where the stone from the
non-union quariies is being used. The
stone from the New England quarries 10

and granite cutters in this city claim
that 100000 men will be involved

The Worlds fair buildings in Chicago

be ordered on those structures today.
These buildings will be greatly retarded

a Modus vivend Suggested by an
American Resident.

WASHINGTON, May 16.--A letter ad-
many years an American missionary in
China, to Secretary Blaine, through the
United States consul general at Shang-
hal and the United States legation at
Pellin dated March 81, is as follows:
"Sir: Lest it be considered presump-
tious in me, private citizen, to address
the chief of department of state on the
subject of Chinese immi grafton, plead
in extenuation that in respect of age,
and in respect of period of residence,
am the senior American resident in
China. So far as | am capable of un-
derstanding the view which China takes
of the situation, she does not desire the
United States flooded by her pr leia,iat.
Certain she has little reason 10 desire
such consummation inasmuch us this
empire already possesses vast regions in
the north of fertile, virgin soil, while in
theillimitable regions invite immigration
from her southern provinces. What
China has right to demand, and what
our country has a right TO concede, is to
be treated AS an equal Self respect, the
duty she owes to her people and the po-
civilized states, impose on her the neces-
sity Of contending for reciprocal conces-
siOns.
"In.view of these considerations it
seems that the unsatisfactory i anom-
alous relations which exist may be cor
rected by an immigration reciprocity
treaty, fixing the number Of citizens at
each state to be admitted to reside in
the other. Undoubtedly difficulties
would attend the settlement of the i'm
brogio on these lines, but the states
manship of the two countries is not
likely to find them insurmountable. A
modus vivendi can surely be devised on
some basis of this kind.
LAS regards Americans in China they
do not apprehend that the threats of
reprisals that they heard are well
founded, and yet they are solicitous that
the country in which they reside should
feel that its honor is not inpugned by
their country. With unprecedented
unanimity citizens-oflicial, secular and
missionary-con in these views"
