Austrian Troops Accidentally In
Wade Russian Territory While
on Parade Drill.
The Cars Forces Give Chase With
the Intention of Firing on
Them.
Leg Bail is Given TO the COSSacks
and Further Trouble
Ayerted.

VIENNA, May 3O.-The spectacle of
Russian troops marching in hostile
array against the Austrian forces was
witnessed yesterday at the Galician
frontier near Radzivilou. The Aus
trian garrison of Brody, an important
town of Galicia, about ffty-eight miles
from the Austrian military head
quarters at Lemberg, was out
maneuvering. Brody is only
a few miles from the Russian
Polish frontier, and in the course of
tramping about the Austrian troops
unwittingly crossed the frontier into
Russian territory, short distance from
Radzivilou. The whole frontier is pa
trolled by Cossack videttes and it did
not take long for the Russian senti-
nels to spy the Austrian banner borne
on Russian soil. The Cossaclks has
tened to report to the commander
OF the garrison at Radzivilou, and
the troops were at once ordered to turn
out prepared for battle The Russian
commander marshaled his men and
then started out on a hasty march In
the direction where the Austrlans had
been seen. His avowed object, az
stated to his troops, was to attack the
Invaders and drive them back over the
frontier Had he overtaken the Aus
TRANS serious and sanguinary en-
counter would probably have been the
result
Fortunately for peace the Austrian
commander had his attention called by
Polish peasant friendly to Austria, al
most Poles are, to the fact that he was
on Russian territory. A brief review
of the surroundings satisfied the
Austrians that they had made
mistake, and they turned their
faces at once toward the from
tier. Just as they were crossing
the Russian troops were seen APP
preaching in the distance at double
quick, but before the Russians got
within firing distance the Austrians
were on their own side of the line and
there was no longer excuse for HOSTILE
ties on the part of the Russians. The
Russians acted as if they were disap-
pointed, and their commander, after
placing strong outpost at the point
where the Austrians had crossed, re-
turned slowly to Radzivilou.
The incident was at once reported by
the Brody commander to Prince Won
Windisch-Groetz at Lem berg, general
in command of the Austrian forces in
Eastern Galicia. The affair is re-
garded in Vienna as of considerable
significance, as showing the readiness
of the Russians to seize any pretext for
hostilities

vehemently.

moment she had torn herself from his
arms.
Her grief seemed beyond control as she
kissed the girls and her aunt, who were
waiting for her in the hall She drew
down her veil, and in Il second was safely
sheltered in Lady Ravens carriage, her
eyes straining to catch the last glimpse of
Philip Carrington's face as he watched the
conveyance that was bearing her quietly
from his sight.
TO IL certain extent she had satisfied her
selfish love. She had made the future
seem less gloomy and hopeless, she had
given herself some hope; nevertheless at
that moment she feared her own power to
sacrifice herself. She could even wonder
which might prevail, her love or her pride.
There seemed endless comfort in the
thought that there still remained a link
binding her to her love; but her pride
might snap it.

BARON HIRSCH SERIOUSLY ILL.
UufavOrable Reception of Russian Jews
in America one of the Causes

Uufavorable Reception of Russian Jews
in America one of the Causes
PARIS, May 30.-Baron Hirsch Is
seriously i'll in this city with influenza
and congestion of the lungs. The
gravest fears are expressed as to the
result of his illness, and this morning
a report of his death was in circula-
ton. 1t proved, however. to be un-
founded. The death of Baron Hirsch
would have most serious effect upon
his great enterprises, including the re-
lief of the Russian Jews by their set
tlement in other countries. 1t is said
that Baron Hirsch has devoted himself
to this supreme object of his life with
such earnestness as to greatly weaken
his physical system and that this has
had much to do in bringing about his
illness. The baron has been much dis
appointed by the comparative failure
Of his attempt to establish an Argen-
tine colony of Jews, and also by the
unfavorable reception of INDECENT
Hebrews in the United States

The Day at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 80. - Memorial
services were held in many of the
churches of the district yesterday and
patriotism was the theme of discourses
The congrega tions were characteristic
ones, being composed in large part of
veterans of the war
Disappointment was on every face
early this morning, for the weather
was cloudy and threatening, and rain
fell generally at intervals, but later
the sun broke through the clouds and
there was nothing to interfere with
the patriotic and solemn ceremonies of
the day.
Extensive preparations for decora ting
the graves had been made by the vari-
GUS military organizations 1t was no
small undertaking, Cor in the numer-
Gus cemeteries about the city are fully
10000 graves of Union soldiers, each
one of which was deemed worthy the
tribute of flag and bunch of flow
ers. The parade, in spite of the threat
ening weather, was large and sue
cessful one.

The President Participates in Decor
ton Day Exercises at
Rochester.
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
People Take in the Demon
STATIONS.
Organizations in Which are Eight
Thousand Men and Boys
Reviewed.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, May 30.-May 80,
1892, will ever be memorable day in
the history of Rochester Never before
has it been so crowded and never be-
fore has it entertained so distinguished
company. Public and private
business was suspended and every
body took holiday; it is esti-
mated that fully 100000 people
took an ractive part in the various
demonstrations of the day. OF this
number nearly 100, 900 came from the
surrounding country. The President
was enthusiastically received every
where and was compelled to
bow his acknowledgements to
almost continuous cheering.
The weather was bright and fair.
The features Of the day were the dedi-
cation of the handsome monument in
Washington Square, in honor of the
soldiers and sailors of Monroe county
who died in defense of the Union,
and the speeches of President Harrison
and Gov. Flower.
The exercises at the unwilling of the
monument were preceded by review
in which at least 5000 men and boys,
formed into organized bodies, partici-
pated. The first division was made up
of the veterans of the civil war, as
comprised in the posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic and other veteran
organizations Following these came
1000 COMMUNICATIONS who were sue
ceeded by 1900 children of the public
and parochial schools Next in line
was another division of 1000 made up
of various organiza tions. The Presi-
dent, Gov. Fower and the dis
tinguished visitors and local celebri-
ties followed the procession in car
riages. The reviewing stand, which
was in front of the court house, was
handsomely decorated, the Presidents
flag being prominent above all the
bunting. This flag, it is said, has
never before been used except on naval
vessels; so it was quite curiosity here

MALAY CHARACTERISTICS.

He Is a Lazy Fellow and Extremely Polite
to Europeans.
In character the Malay is impressive.
He is certainly not demonstrative and
never openly expresses his feelings.
He exhibits reserve, difidence and
even bashfulness which is in some do.
gree attractive AMI leads the observer
to think that the ferocious and blood.
thirsty character imputed to the race
must be exaggerated.
He is very slow and deliberate in his
speech, and especially backward in in.
Producing the subject he has come ID
discuss. Though he does seem to hold
the European in contempt as well as
other races, yet he is always profusel7
polite when he meets ono.
''Tabeh Tuan," is then his favorita
expression, which translated into plain
English means How are you, sir?" II,
though, he meets European who, in
his op len, has done a mean action
and is not worthy of that salute, he
will pass him with sulky Indifference
manifested on every feature of his
countenancs.
He is lazy AID not fond of work. His
favorite pastime is fishing, and as long
as he can catch sufficient fish he viii
never hire himself out for manual
labor.
Sometimes he is the happy possessor
OF three wives, and even four, and woe
betide the man who engages in a fiirta-
ton with them. The knife speedily
settles such quarrels with the Malay,
snd in the case of the Javanese poison.
