MARSEILLES WELCOME.
That City Vies with Paris and
Toulon in Cheering Russia.
ITALIANS AID IN THE DISPLAY.

They Gain the Admiration of Trenchmen
by Decorating Their Houses In Honor
of the Visit of Admiral Avelan aud the
Cznr's Sailors. ....a.... g..
MARsRrhIIEs, Oct. e7.-The Russian sail
ors arrived here at II o'clock, md were
most tenehusiastically received at the depot.
The scene witnessed at Lyons were re-
peated here, men and women pushed for
ward almost under the horses feet in their
Efforts to shake hands with or embrace
the Russian officers The most enthusiastic
cries Of "vive la Russle, vive la France,
vive la car" etc, were to be heard on all
sides in deafening tones. The crowds were
so dense that the carriages were several
times brought to a standstill.
The city is n mass OF flags and bunting
representing Russian and French colors,
and everybody and everything is In holi-
day attire in honor of the visit of the
Russian sailors.
Across the principal streets through
which the Russians passed handsome tri-
umphal arches were thrown. Near the
railroad station and about the Rue du
Nord the crowds were the thickest, and
excitement was most intense There is no
denying that the pitch of enthusiasm to
which the people of this city have been
worked up is quite equal to anything de-
scribed as happening at Toulon, Paris or
Lyons.
The municipality of Marseilles has ex-
pended large sums of money in the decor
alton Of the public buildings, and several
Of them, notably the town hall, are so
beautifully arrayed as to rival the build
ings of Paris.
One of the facts much noticed and com
mented upon in connection with the deco
rations here, is that several of the Italian
societies are taking part in the festivities,
and have richly decorated their headquar-
tiers for the occasion. This has given rise
to friendly feeling towards the Italians,
who for long time past have been de-
cidedly frowned upon, not only in this
city, but in many other parts Of France.
Thus it is that Italian as well as Russian
and French flags, are to be seen floating to
the breeze in several quarters of Marseilles

may say without exaggeration that there
were hundreds Of paintings. There were
some large ones representing battle scenes,
and others quite small, for the most part
portraits, but the greater number, and those
which attracted most attention, illustrated
prison and exile life in Russia and scenes
relating to the march of prisoners into ST.
IBERIA. The misery Of this awful march,
the attendant horrors of the etapes, where
men and women, old and young, where the
habitual criminal and the etenderly nurtured
girl, condemned without trial by the ad-
ministrative process, were herded together
in loathsone garments without regard to
deccncy or health and with less care for
their preservation than would be bestowed
upon cattle, were shown in such vivid real
ity that one turned with feeling of sick
ness from the canvas, as If the reek of pol
luton and disease steamed from them.
This is what made me nihilist, :" Taras
said in low voice.
"You have seen all this2" asked I.
He nodded y.
A plethoric young man with long hair
was passing judgment on the picture in the
loud tone of conceit.
"Vigor, grant you" he said. "But the
thing is overdone. The effect he aims at
b spoiled by exaggeration. Borgensky ymay
be rabid nihilist, but it is equally clear
that he is making capital out of political
boom; in fact"-he added in confidential
tone-"he almost admitted the fact when
taxed him with it here the other day"
THAT is not true" said Taras, raising his
voice.
The knot Of admirers about the stout
young dilettante turned round, and the
youth himself, scanning Taras from head
to foot, said, with impudent contempt:
beg pardon, may ask who you are?"
IF you were not liar,n replied Taras,
''you would know that am Prince Bor-
gensky."
1t was in this way that came to know
who Taras was.

PITTSsURG WORKERS PROTEST.
To Demand Legislation Prohibiting ~

To Demand Legislation Prohibiting ~
crimination Against Organized Labor.
PITTsBURd, Oct. 27.--A mass meeting Of
iron and steel workers was held in the old
City Hall to protest against the anti
union agreement promulgated by the
managers of the Wayne Iron works. Tho
agreement pledges all who sign 1t not TO
become members of any labor union while
in the employ of the Wayne company,
and the meeting was called by tho officers
OF the Amalgamated Association at the
Instance of some of the men who were re-
quested to sign the document.
Fully twenty-five hundred men at
tended, a large majority OF them being
actually employed in the iron and steel
trades. President Garland, of the Anal
gnmated Association, presided and
speeches were made by Secretary Kill
gallon and Patrick Joyce, who denounced
the agreement as tyrannical attempt
upon the part of the Wayne company TO
break up an organization which had
fought in fair, honorable and omen man
ner for its rights. Samuel Davis asserted
that any firm which would make such
proposition was anarchistic, and that
such steps would force the workmen to
unite In secret for their own protection.
Andrew Carnegfe's name was vigorously
Missed whea Il was mentioned in the course
of spocch delivered by Vice Presideut
sheehan. President Garland announced
that while it was not proposed to drag
politics into the movement, the working
men meant to demand legislation making
1t crime to discharge a man simply be-
cause he belonge BIO trades union.
Resolutions denouncing the argeement,
and the company that formulated It, and
commanding the workmen for their re-
sistance to it, We're passed with whoop,
and after giving three cheers for the
American flag the meeting adjourned.

thinks and thinks hour after hour of the

she added turning to the life size group,
now nearly finished, which Taras had mod
eled In the past month from the smaller
sketch. "How it strikes one with pity and
stirs up ones heart! One would say that
poor beaten creature had no hope in the
world. 1t is magnificent. And to think
that out of piece of soft, shapeless clay he
makes figure which fills one with sympa-
thy for that poor Russianl 1t is grand to
have that power and the courage to prac-
tice it. But the gift was not meant for
him. II should have been given to one
with no wish to live, no love for home and
friends, not to my dear master. How fond
he is of the world, of simple things, of us,
look youl See how sweet he is with chill
dren and think what happiness it would
have been to such a man to have dear
wife and children of his own to lovel"
The idea of Taras with a wife for his COM
panion presenting itself to my selfish mind
for the first time filled me with jealous ter
ror.
"Why should he not marrys" asked,
giving expression to my fear
"Because he ought not to marry. That
is reason enough for him. His choice is
made. He has offered to sacrifice his life
for his country, and with that fate hanging
over him he will never marry. Believe me,
my poor little friend, for know my mas
ter, and tell you that.he will never marry
never, never"

HYPNOTISM AND CRIME.


Saved by an Expert.
CHICAGO, Oct. e7.- Hypnotism is an
bounced by George Painter, the wife muir
derer, as the method by which he expects
to escape the gallows, notwithstanding
the supreme court has Just affirmed his
sentence. He says he thinks that hyp-
Dotism will help him to a pardon by the
governor. This is how he reasons it out,
and pretty much ia his own words;
"Yes, sir; man in n hypnotic state
must tell the truth; he must act Just as
he did on the night or the day they are
questioning him about. Now offer N.Y.

the truth. And i tell you the truth will

motto experts might be trained to help the

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The special delegate of
Brazil has read dispatch fromIRio Janeiro
which says that the insurgent vessels are
scarcely able to move from the fact that
they are in need OF extensive repairs, and
the supply of coal is almost exhausted,
According to the dispatch referred the
vessels composing the insurgent squadron
are compelled to remain in the lower part
of the bny of Rio de Janeiro In order to
avoid the fire of the forts which remain
loyal to the government. The forces, it
would seem, have inflicted considerable
damage upon the rebel ships. This fact
has given much encouragement to the
Brazilian government, and speedy termi-
nation of the difficulty is expected.

LONDON, Oct. 97.--A dispatch to The
Times from Zanzibar says that lieuten-
ant attached to the Italian steamer st.
Affeta was recently stabbed and killed at
Merf all, a seaport town Of East Africa,
situated torty-iive miles from Mngadoxo.
Merkah was founded by Arab traders, be-
longs to Zanzibar, and is built of stone.
1t has a population of about 5000. The
death of the Italian lieutenant was i'm
mediately avenged by the bombardment
of Merkah, during which a number of tha
Somalis were killed and considerable
damage was done to the town. Merkah
is now said to be quiet, and no further
trouble is anticipated, especially as all the
Somalis in the town have been disarmed.

Valuable Cargo Prove n Total Loss.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-The Pacific
Mail company's steamer City of New York
went ashore last evening in a fog, and
will puAbably be total loss. She sailed
Tor China pnd Japan at $3.50 p. M, and
went down the bay under a full head of
steam, About 4so p. m. the big ocean
steamer was lost sight Of, and half hour
later the booming of cannon could be
heard and signal rockets could be seen
bursting above the fog.
The station at Port Lobes at once sent a
message into town and soon every tug in
the bay was racing for Point Bonita Ar
riving there it was found that the steamer
was hard and fast on the rocks, having
gone on them under full head OF steam.
She was in charge of Pilot Stevenson at
the time.
As soon as the ship struck there was
scene of wild confusion, couple Of hun
dred Chinese in the steerage setting up
howl that could be heard half across the
Golden Gate. Captain johnson was won
derfully cool, however, and he and his
officers soon restored order.
1t is now reported that the steamer Is
hard and fast on the rocks There is eight
feet OF water In her hold, and the tugs
cannot move her. The loss will be half a
million No insurance. The passengers
have heen taken off safely.
The steamer is lying broadside upon the
rocks, and three or four big holes are stove
In her bottom. The vessel will bc a total
loss. The tide is receding, and she is now
high upon the rocks and the surf pound
ing in upon her. There il not much wind,
however, and very little swell The tugs
now arc lowering about the wreck and
could possibly pull the steamer from the
rocks, but it would be useless
Before signals of distress brought as
sistance from San Francisco the passen-
gers were landed at Point Bonita. About
this time Captain johnson decided to jet
tison the cargo and save as much as posi-
BILE He dispatched third officer and a
crew Of six Of the sailors in small boat,
directing them to row to San Francisco
for tugs and lighters, but the crew could
make no headway against strong tide,
and were swept back. Another of the
boats, crew in command of the purscr.
was picked up by the tug and brought here
The City of New York was built in
Chester, Pa, in 1875. She took away an
unusually large cargo of flour and general
merchandise, all of which will probably
be a total loss. 1t was valued Mt sl5O, 600,
and she carried $4,000 worth of treasure.
