4 Novel Chicngo Thentre.

Chicago, March, 20.-The members Of
the press to-day were given private
view of the speetatcrium devised by
Steele Mackay, and which will be one of
the great permanent attractions of the
west Its description is best told in
the words of the author, who i'm speak
ing of the objects of the spectatorium
said:
1.-THE object is to make an alliance be-
tween nature and art such as has never
before been effected and to utilize this
alliance for the most impressive illus
trations of the grandest stories of hui
man struggles and achievements in
history. The spectatorlum is invented
for the purpose of producing an en-
tirely new order of entertainment, to
which is given the name Of "spectatorio,'
which is a combination of spectacular
and oratorio. There are three species
of music to be employed. The first
symphonic, which follows all cosmic
changed scenes and all the dramatic
action of the story; the second Incl
dental music, which illustrates with in
struments of the time of music of vari-
Gus ages; the third choral muse, which
is an adaptation of the old idea of the
Greek chorus, as for instance during
the voyage of Columbus, when the great
navigator encountered meteora, storms,
hope, fear the voices of the invisible
chorus celebrate the different emotions.
During the storm demoniac the chorus
will sing a song of superstltious fear to
the sailors. AS it dies away a divine
chorus is heard singing inspiring songs
Of hope and faith
The spectatorium occupies a space o.
about 600 feet square and is 27O feet
high. There will be % stages, all Of
which will be furnished with scenery Of
a new order. The frame of each stage
picture will be $50 feet across, 70 feet
high and 400 feet deep. 1t requires
over six miles of railroad track for the
stages to move upon, and the change of
scene is effected in 40 seconds. There
is an entirely new system of lighting,
the aim being to arrive at as close a re-
production of the light effects of nature
as possible. There is also cyclonic ma
chinery and current and wave makers.
The undertaking is capitalized at s., O00,-
600, the whole o. which is held by 100
people.

The kalser,s Narrow Escnne.

NEW YORK. March 20.-A Berlin Gu
BILE to a morning paper says the kaiser
had a narrow escape yesterday afternoon
during a thunder storm, though none
of the morning papers received report
Of the facts.
While asking the central office to call
up Caprivi, the wire suddenly ceased to
work. The kaiser Immediately ordered
Moltke to drive to the central telephone
office and investigate. When Moltke
arrived at the office he learned that two
women and the operator and sten1-
grapher, who usually receive and tran
scribe the emperor's commands, were
knocked senseless on the floor by n
shock over the wires. The chief oper
ator still held the instrument to his ear
while the stenographer still clutched his
pencil in his hand. When they had
efficiently recovered the girls explained
that in the midst Of the emperor's mes
sage a brilliant light flashed into the
room and the switchboard emitted
sparks and the next moment they fell
to the floor A lightning flash had
fallen on one of the wires and had been
conducted into the room where the two
girls we're operating. 1t is miraculous
the bolt did not strike on the wire the
emperor held to his ear. Both girls are
confined to their beds suffering from
spinal shock and extreme nervousness.
The emperor's own physician is attend

4 Lover Turns Rrigand.

CRY OF MEXICO, March ia SEN
sational elopement, with remarkable cir
cumstances attending it, has been
brought to light by the police of this
city. A few nights ago the residence of
Refugie Martinez, a wealthy and prom
lnent citizen living near Ch7pultepec
castle, was entered by seven masked
men. Martinez and wife were severely
beaten by the supposed brigands, the
house searched and few hundred dol
lars IN money taken. The robbers then
departed, carrying off the beautiful
daughter of Martinez, who made great
show of resistance.
Detectives traced the bandits to this
city and after a search located one of
them at fashionable hotel. They were
surprised on further investigation to
learn that the criminal was Luis S. Lazar,
prominent Young man, and that he
was living with the abducted daughter
OF Martinez. Lazar was arrested and
made confession. He states that he is
the lover Of Miss Martinez, and her par
ents opposed his suit and forbade her
seeing him. In order to gain posses
sion OF his sweetheart he ordered the
attack. With the assistar ce of his
friends, disguised as bandits, they raided
the house and carried off the prize, who
says she was not taken against her will.
They were married On the day following
the abduction. The daring young loyer
and his companions must answer the
charge OF robbery and assaulting Mr..
and Mrs. Martinez unless tbs latter re-
fuses to prosecute them. They are in
jail.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The New Senators.


WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Now tina. it
is definitely settled that three men will
present themselves to the United States
senate with appointments by governors,
in cases where the Legislatures failed to
act, it becomes a very interesting ques-
ton as to whether they will be admitted
or not. The democratic precedent has
all along been against it. The one
thing that favors Senator Allen is the
fact that he has been member of the
club. and therefore there will be more of
an effort made to get him in than would
otherwise be the case. So far as Lee
Mantle, Of Montana, and Beckwith, of
Wyoming, are concerned, 1t Is very likely
they would be treated without much re-
gard to personal matters, and would be
either admitted or rejected upon con-
stitutional and legal grounds, they hav
ing never belonged to the lodge, and
there is where Senator Allen has the
advantage of them. In his case sena-
torial courtesy could strain constitu
tional limitations. The best lawyers
here believe that the constitution will
net allow the admttance of man APP
pointed by the governor when there was
an opportunity for the legislature to
elect. There is another political con-
sideration which NAV determine the
democrats of the senate to refuse to adj
nit any of these candidates, and that is
that two republicans and one democrat
will be kept out, which will increase the
present democratic majority in the SEN
ate There are other considerations
also. The fact is, that if these three
men from the West are refused admit
lance, the governor of each state will be
compelled to reconyene the legislatures
or the states will go without represen-
tation. If the legislatures are recon-
vened, two Of them are likely to elect a
democrat or a populist, or at least there
would be two anti-republicans sent for
six years each, consideration that the
democrats may look upon with consld-
cradle favor The old-time senators
who have been elected term after term,
look upon this matter with misgivings.
They hold that if a few men in the leg
lslature can prevent the election of a
senator and allow balloting to continue
dav after day and allow the governor to
appoint, and if these appointees are adj
mitted, it will establish precedent
which will encourage Just this sort of
conduct in state legislatures hereafter,
There is another democratic view of the
situation, which may have some inhu-
ence. 1t is thought that possibly the
senatorial elections which would be held
two years hence in these states for va
cancies caused by the failure of the leg
islatures to elect ana allowing the gov
ernor to appoint would probably be in
tluenced by the democratic adminlstra-
tien in power, and for that reason might
elect democratic senator's This is the
hope entertained by some democrats, but
they also have some fear that the dis
tribution of patronage and the mistakes
of the present administration may make
1t impossible to carry these state cleo
tons in 1894; and, if they can force
Montana and Wye ming to elect demo
Gratis or populists, it will be so much in
their favor

Hall SOundly TnraShed,

New YORK, March 19.-Jim Hall, the
Australian pugulist, has again found
his match. Just after midnight last
night he tried to fight several cabmen in
front of the Hoffman house, with the re-
suit that he is now nursing badly cut
face an numerous bruises somewhere
in seclusion. Hall, just before mid
night, drove up to the Hoffman house
in a cab. He got ont, and entering the
hotel, started for the bar-room, He was
drunk and BILLY" Edwards stopped the
pugulist and told him the bar was closed.
Hall went back to where the cab was
standing, pulled the cabman from his
seat and began to use him as a punch
ing bag. The other cabmen in the
neighborhood rallied to their unfortu
nate brothers defense in numbers and
determination, much to the discomfort
of Hall, who was thrown down, kicked
and pounded by the enraged cabmen
until he cried Bleeding, and by this
time sober, the late victim of Fitzsim
mons prowess was borne away by two
sympathiziDg friends who were passing
at the time in a cab. Who they were
or where Hall was taken is not known.

KERGUELEN ISLANDS.
Barren Rocks In Southern Seas
Annexed by France.
ReapPearance OF Capt. Fuller, an Ameri-
can Whaler Whose Remarkable
Story Has Been Well Told
I'm q French Novel.

About five years ago a dead alba
tross was picked up on the southwest
coast of Australia. Around it's neck
was tied piece of tin, on which, had
been scratched in French a few words
saying that thirteen sailors had been
shipwrecked on one of the Crozets, a
little island group far southwest
toward the Antarctic ocean, and that
they were there with slender supplies,
awaiting relief Both England and
France sent men-of-war to the Crozets,
and found that the albatross had indeed
brought a true story across the waste
of waters to the civilized world. But,
says the New York Sun, they did not
find the shipwrecked sailors. Under a
heap of stones the men had left a mes
sage, saying that they had been living
For some months on the island, depend
ng for food upon the birds and fish
they caught; and that on the following
day they were to start in a small boat
for Possession island, about ninety
miles distant, in the hope that there
they would meet a whaler. No further
trace of them has ever been found,
and they were undoubtedly lost during
the journey.
While the relief ships were at the
Crozets a little American schooner
came along. 1t was the Francys Allyn,
commanded by Capt. Joseph Fuller.
He said he had been engaged in
whaling in those waters for months,
but unfortunately had not come to the
islands before the shipwrecked mari
ners left them. He told the romantic
story of his enterprises in those de-
serted seas, and his narrative was re-
peated in the report Of the search made
by the French and English command
ers. This is how it happened that two
years ago Capt. Joseph Fuller and his
schooner came to figure in French
novel, "Le Fond dun Coeur," which
attained some popularity. He appears
in the volume in his proper person as
the only whaler who still haunts the
waters that twenty years ago were
visited every year by quito large fleet.
It was not until January of this year
that Capt Fuller learned that he was
the hero OF a novel. The French trans

port ship Eure was sent by the govern
ment to take possession Of the>Kergue-
len islands In the name of France.
These islands lilo some way east of the
Cro1ets, and are very rarely seen by
vessels. Lying not far north of the
Antarctic ocean, they are most desc
late. The only signs of life there are
large flocxs of birds, the fish that sport
In the surrounding waters, and scanty
vegetation on the rocks. The French
transport reached the bay of Fort Ga
Zelle, a long narrow inlet walled on
both sides by high basaltic cliffs, and
here 1t was proposed to send ashore
a party Of men to take formal posses
sion OF the islands.
AS the vessel entered the inlet its
officers were very much surprised to
see in the quiet waters little schooner
which ran up tho American flag as
soon as the Frenchman came into view.
Soon n small boat put off and the cap
tain visited the French vessel. He said
his name was Joseph Fuller and that
his schooner was the Francys Allyn.
1t happened that the French officers
had heard of his career, and some of
them had read the novel in which his
exploits had figured. One of them
writes that it was not among the least
surprises of his life to find in this des-
olate land a parsonage who had fig
ured in romance.
He describes Capt Fuller as tall and
gaunt. not the least like the typical
mariner. He has a white beard and a
smiling face, and his eyes are hidden
! by spectacles. which give him the ap,
pearancs moro of a professor in a Ger
man university than of an adventure
some whaling captain. His speech is
slow and thoughtful. which accentu-
ates his resemblance to a studious
German.
Cap. Fuller said that he knew every
foot of those waters He had not seen
a single vessel in eleven months. He
had small crew, and they had been
cruising around not far from the
Kerguelen islands in their quest foI
whales They had not been very sue
cessful, but we're gradually getting q
cargo. For eleven months the only
signs of life he had seen outside the
schooner were fish. an occasiona
