Frenzied strikers, Infiamed by Socialist
Harangues, Defy the Police 90 Mayor
Bulls Badly Injured.
The city OF Brussels has lately been in
state OF siege. Crowds of socialists held
open-air meetings to denounce the proclaim
alton OF Mayor Bulls, prohibiting public
demonstrations in favor OF universal suf.
frage. Volders, the extreme socialist leader
who had been arrested and released,
made an incendiary speech, in which he APP
piled the most obnoxious epithets to M.
Bulls The crowd became uproarious,
shouted for revenge upon the mayor, and
encouraged Volders to still more intemper-
ate language. The police ordered the crowd
to disperse. The workingmen answered
with jeers. The police drew their swords
and advanced toward the platform. Some
of the crowd fred revovers and a few threw
stones, but the rest retreated without show
OF fight toward the city. Mayor Bulls was
attacked by a mob while walking home and
knocked insensible from blow on the back
OF the neck. In the Rue de la Bavere, near
the Maison du Peuple, the mob became so
threatening that mounted police charged
them with drawn swords. The rioters threw
jars of Greek fire and repeated volleys of
stones among the police. Many of the mob
were cut or trampled upon. Twelve were
arrested. Several policemen were burned
and bruised

THE FATALIsTIC TURK.
How He Braves Death at the Holy
City of His Faith.
From the London spectator.


The accounts given by the pilgrims of
the way in which cholera attacked them
are terrible in their grim fatalism. June
"a, two days before the Courban BARN,
upward of 100 600 Mussulmans, Arabs,
Turks and Indians had gathered on the
sacred mount to hear the solemn address
which is delivered to those who wish to
become hadji. Many of these people
were in the most wretched condition, and
some had not even loaf of bread.
1t was here that the disease appears to
have struck them, like the blast of a
poisoned wind. When next day the on
ward movement to the holy city began it
was found that the ground was strewn
like a battlefield with the dead and
dying, and so terribly virulent was the
type of infection thus engeudered that it
was, says the account. impossible for any
living creature to approach the place.
The authorities seem, however, to have
realized that something must be done
and that the bodies could not be left to
rot Accordingly, a Turkish regiment
was sent to perform the work of burial
and to remove any of the pilgrims who
still lived. Never did troops in the heat
of battle receive a command more fraught
with peril. The risk, as it proved, was
literally greater than that of facing ma
CnIilC guns, anu bl6 ulOIdl GilGCb was Lar
more terrible. There are ten men who
will face death by bullets to one who will
face death by cholera. Yet these Turk
ish soldiers, with the fantalistic courage
of their race, obeyed as they obeyed at
Plevna.
The battalion, when it reached the
mount, was 700 strong After the work
had been done, 200 men only remained to
go back to the coast. Five hundred of the
soldiers had died of cholera. That is,
nearly three quarters of the regiment
persisted in the work of burial No doubt
English troops would have been upheld
by many considerations-by religious feel
ing, and by the instinct of mercy, and
they would, moreover, have been well
fed.
The Turkish troops probably felt the
sense of pity very little, and their officers
were almost certainly men with anything
but high sense of conduct They acted
merely from the most naked sense of the
duty of not fiinching at a command. 1t
was an order given from afar and from
above, and that and fate are to them all
one.

Former Profits in Missouri Steam.
heats
From the Cincinnati CONNIE

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Few people are aware of the former
profits of Missouri river steambOating
No legitimate businessmen speculative
probably ever paid like former steam
boating on the Missouri. Capt Joseph
Kinney, who died about two years ago at
his home at Old Franklin, opposite Boon
vile, cleared $4,000 on one round trip
from St. Louis to Fort Benton, Mont, af-
ter the war. Capt. Kinney owned and
commanded the Cora, which was named
after one of his daughters. This boats
wreck lies in Cora Chute" between ST
Charles and the mouth of the Missouri
river.
The La Barges and the Doziers, fami-
lies of Missouri river steamboatmen, at
times made from S25, 900 to S35, 900 in
trips to Fort Benton. Capt Edward
Herndon. who ran into Kansas City for
many years, and was well known here,
made $50 600 on one trip to Fort Benton
from st. Louis on the steamer William }.
Lewis. This was about 1877. A COM
pany of Missouri people owned the boat.
The round trip occupied about ninety
days. The profit was something less
than 500 day.
John Campbell, of this city, was paid at
the rate of $3.50 a ton, or 1711 cents
pound, for taking government freight
from St. Louis 70 Fort Benton. The rate
was ~ cents from St. Louis to the mouth
of the Yellowstone river, and 10 cents
pound from there TO Fort Benton. There
was profit in cargo of 800 tons of this
kind of freight. Capt. Barnes, who for
many years after the war ran the Column
bian between St. Louis and Omaha, often
cleared $4,000 on a trip. The Colum-
bans wreck is covered by sand, with an
underground of willows at Buckhorn
point, near Brunswick.
Capt. Charles X. Baker, who died
about two years ago at the home of his
son, G. X. Baker, Jr., near Westport,
many times cleared thousands in a few
weeks with different steamers which he
owned Among them were the Admiral,
Minnehaha, and Sioux City. Capt Baker
was at one time paid $1,000 a month to
take charge of the plotting Of the M. S.
Mepham. large sidewheel boat Capt.
Baker employed an assistant at 500 a
month. and made a monthly salary Of
S sos or himself Capt. John Gunsollis,
of St. Louis. who was killed about three
wears ago in a steamboat accident,
was paid at the rate OF $1,000
month for plotting on the
Missouri river just after the war. He
was well known in Kansas City. In 1888
the old side-wheel steamer Fannie Lewis
was condemned, as unseaworthy. Capt.
James henneuy, agent VI tnS plCoOnO
packet company here, and Capt. c. B.
Tilden persuaded the Lewis owners to
have the boat repaired and run another
season. The owners did as requested.
Can't. Tilden commanded and Capt. Ken
nedv represented the boat as agent at
Kansas City, and in six months made
$40 600 profit This was the last year for
the Fannie Lewis The boat was after
wards taken apart at St, Louis and the
machinery used elsewhere.
