AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.

The British Fleet Saluted on the Ar

Fort MONROE, Va, April 17.-Before
O'Clock this morning Colonel Frank, COM
madant of the army post, was informed by
Admiral Ghersrdi that the British vessels
were coming up from the capes and that
they would be along in an hour. This was
a notification to stand by to salute the vis-
itors after they had fred off twenty-one
guns in honor of the American oolors, and
the fort was prompt in doing this. The
fashionable set were ruthlessly awakened
by this terrific bombardment and the re-
verberation of the mighty gums of the
Blake and the answers that came quickly
back from the post and the fsgship Phila-
delphia Hardly had the dense curls of

of the guns, when the Blake started In to
assure the French, Russian and italian
flags of her distinguished esteem and con-
sideration by saluting the commanding Of

of guns due their rank.
During these ceremonies the flags on all

one country to another, and to an onlooker

BRUSSELS. April 1.-THE dynamite e1-
plosion at Mons to-dsy seems to have acted
as an incentive to the strikers to commit
further outrsges. The strikers filled the
drinking places and INDUCED in all manner
of threats against the government and as
the day wore on they became emboldened
and determined to take possession of the
town for labor procession.
Their intentions were known to the au-
thorities, who have many spies among
workmen, and when the mob, singing the
Carmagnole and the Marseillaise, attempt
ed to march through the streets, they were
met by strong detachment of the civic
guard. An order was given for the strik-
efs to dispense, but no attention was paid
to 1t by the strikers.
Hooting and yelling they attempted to
march on, when the order was given for
the civic guard to prepare to FIRE. The
mob de6ed the guard to fire upon them,
and threw heavy stones, bottles and other
missiles at them. The guard fired upon

persal. On the contrary, it only infatuated
them, and a charge en- masse was made
upon the guard. A desperate hand to hand
conflict ensued.
The main body of the strikers was
broken up, but groups of struggling men
could be seen in the side streets leading
from the main thoroughfare. The battle
was long and bitterly contested but finally
the Civic guard were victorious. 1t Is
known that four miners were killed and
many rioters injured. A number of them
were taken to the hospital. 1t is thought
that the exact number of the wounded will
never be known, as some of them were
carried away by their friends.

FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS.


Fierce Struggle Between Billy Smith
of Boston and Tom williams of
Australia.
COMFY ISLAND, N. Y, April ia large
and enthusiastic crowd tonight Witnessed
two brief fights which took place before
the Coney leland Athletic club. Many
prominent sporting men were present.
The curtain raiser wss ten round bout
for 81 600, between Johnnie Van Heest of
Chicago and Danny Russell of Bridgeport,
Conn.
In the third round Russell came up
weak, with Van Heest strong aud con-
ident. Van landed hard left which
he followed up, his right landing
on the jaw and Russell went down. He
got up staggering. Van appealed to the
umpire as to whether or not he should hit
him again. Russell came at him and was
again sent TO the floor, where 1t WAS sup.
posed he would stop, but he ross and s.roYe
to land his right. Van Heest, however,
rushed him, sending left and right on the
nose, which was blsedipg profusely. Rus
sell was 80 weak he could hardly stand and
the referee stopped the bout and gave the
fight to Van Heest.
Russell was outclsssed, although looking
to be fifteen pounds the heavier man.
Tho second event was a fight to a finish
between Mysterious Billy Smith" of Bos-
ton and Tom Williams of Australia for
purse of 50, 900. williams was looked sf
| ter by Warren Lewis of New York and
Tom Burrows and Arthur Walker, both of
Australia. Smith was second by Alexan-
der Greggains, Billy Hennessy and Jimmy
Kelley, all of San Francisco. Williams
| wore white trunks with black belt, while
| his opponent wore black tights. They
both looked the very picture of health and
strength.
The moment the gong sounded In the
second round the men went at one another
like wild animals and slugged away with
left AID right like two crazy men. Not
one second of time was lost, and 1t was
easily to be seen that 1t was only ques-
ton of endurance. Neither man paid the
slightest attention to science, but made
the bout one of purely brute force Smith
was the better of the two and had q slight
ad vantage In reach. He was as strong
as a bull, also, and he landed on
many occasions when Williams fell
short. The fighting was exceptionally
fast and furious. Both men stood
up like stone walls and gave and tool
without the slightest pretension of trying
to avoid a single blow. That style OF fight
ing could not last long, as both men were
rapidly showing signs of fatigue They
were both badly marked and bruised from
the terrific punishment they received
Williams was knocked down several time
in this round before he received the knock
!. out blow. Each time he came up gsmely,
but showed greater signs of fatigue. Smith
coo, was quite unsteady on his feet, ever
when he planted the finishing blow Will
his right on the point of Williams jaw

New York Bank Presidents Are Not
Disturbed by Secretary Carlisle's
order.
NEW YORK, April 17-Wsll street did
not seem to be at all disturbed to day over
Secretary Carlisle's order that no more
gold certificates should be issued.
Several bank presidents were asked
about the treasury order to-day and they
all agreed that of itself 1t was no cause for
alarm. Just what the object or intent of
the author of the provision was, no one
seemed to be able to tell. Frederick D.
T. Happen, president of the Gallatin Ma
tional bank, eaid that not only was the
order obligatory on the secretary oil the
treasury, but 1t was q very proper one
under the circumstances.
"The effect of this has all BEEN dis
counted, )" he said, land I not look for any
great depreciation In values"
]. Edward Simmons, president of the
Fourth National bank, said:
'It means, of course, that the free gold
in the treasury is down to the reserve
ment will no longer act as storehouse for

from the banks they will have to take the
metal instead of gold certificates, and 1t is
not 30 easy to cart the metal around as II

no more serious now than 1t was last week.

there was no more cause for alarm to day

the exchange will soon be enacted. The
copy for the czsr's signature left st.
Petersburg on the Sd and should have been
