The death of Rosina Nokcs- Clay de-
prives the Anglo-Americ.ln Stage of
one of its very brightest ornaments,
as we'll as a most charming and amiable
women. Said a Well-knoWn New York
theatrical manager a few weeks ago,
in abiding to Miss Nokes' departure
for England: There We're originally
only four Nokeses-Victoria Rosina,
Cecilia and Fred They We're the chill
dren of Il strictly professional house
hold, their father being a London stage
doorkeeper. or something of the sort.
They early made a reputation as pan
tomine dancers, the Vokes family be
ing notable about Christmastide in all
the British provinces.
The Vokeses made their first appear
ance in the United States at the Old
Union Square theater and afterward
became famous the country round I'M
der the management of John 2. Smith,
the veteran revlyer of Uncle Toms
Cabin. Victoria was Well-made, rosy,
rather stupid girl, of the Bouncing Pet
order. Rosina, Oh the other hand,
whose amazingly vivaciouS face and
droll grimaces would have redeemed
much palmer woman, possessed a de-
liciOuS humor, an almost masculine
joyiality, and fairly boiled over with
wholesome animal spirits. 1t was al
ways another characteristic Of RoSina
Nokcs that, in spite Of her brusquerie,
She never failed to be II lady. Her
tastes We're always delicate and re
fined, and, unlike the rest of the
family, she never showed i'll the least
degree her Bohemian origin or train
ing.
When, in later years, she married
Mr.. Cecil Clay, Il gentleman Of the
highest class and breeding, she gained
4 finishing touch to her manners and
delicacy-raits which clung to her
to the last
Fred, on the other hand, was an
mconscionable specimen of the popu-
latiOn of the cheap theatcrs. Probably
there never has been so marked a type
of the theatrical cockney He was the
husband of an elder daughter of the
lndescribable and increditable Pony
Moore of London, another daughter
of that remarkable eXpatriated Amcri-
can being the vile of Charley Mitchell.
Fred NokeS and Mitchell were at one
time the warmest possible friends.
ut must have been very disagreeable
to the kind-hcarted and vivacious Ro-
sina Vokes, the chasm between her
husbands elegant and high-bred kins-
folk Oh the one hand and the prize
fighting, music-hall conducting connec-
tons Of her only brother on the other"
Rosina Vokes is quite we'll known to
Madison theater goers. She appeared
at the Fuller with Felix Norris in The
Circus Rider, Game of Cards and other
plays last season. The two plays given
by home talent at the Fuller, January
20 were from her repertoire

in Effigy

st. Paul, Jan. ga Pioneer Press
special from Duluth, Mimi, says: An
attempt was made tonight to hang
gresham Baldwin in effigy for voting
for the free iron ore schedule Of the
Wilson bill.
A band Of music made it's appearance
near the Merchants hotel, and a youth
appeared bearing a banner on which
was painted figure labeled Bald
win" with the neck encircled by a
moose. This created a small sized riot
for few minutes, but squad Of
police and a patrol wagon came in
sight and quickly dispersed the crowd,
while the youth who had been car
rying the banner was taken to police
headquarters. The band ceased play
ing and the effigy business ended in a
fiasco.

TAUGHT \ NEEDED LESSON

Rio de .Janeiro, Jan. 29-'rhiS has
been one Of the most exciting days
Rio o. Ianciro has experienced since
tho commencement of hoStilities be-
tween the insurgents and the Brazilian
10vtI ament.
The United States naval fleet sta
toned in the harbor furnished the eX-
element Provoked beyond endurance
Ivy the continued careleSSnrSS of gun
ners aboard the rebel war ship, Acuui-
daban, Admiral Benham today made
demonstration with the American
war vessels under his command which
taught Il much needed lesson to the
belligercnts on both sides, and which
will undoubtedly have the effect here
after of securing proper recognition of
the rights of vessels under the Ameri-
car flag
The cause of all the trouble was the
treatment to which three American
barkS We're subjected last Saturday by
m inuiScriminate fuSilade from the
insurgent warshipS. Saturday last,
while lying at anchor, these vessels
were endangered by the chance shots
After suffering 1 great deal of an
noyance and running great risks the
three captains determined 10 ap-
peal for protection to tlc United States
Narship. Pulling to the flagship New
York, they asked for a conference with
Admiral Ecnham. Admiral Bcnham
listened attrntiyely to the story and
promised he would do everything in
his power TO afford them the fullest
protection.
Admira Benham sent enc of his Of
icerS 10 the Aquidaban with orders
70 acQuaint Admiral de CANA with the
facts in tae case and ask him to have
an end put 10 the reckless cunning.
When the American officer finished
making his statement dc CANA, with
i Shrug Of the shoulders. said III very
sharp tones:
1T is not my fault The American
ship captains should know enough to
keep themselves and crews out Of
range of our guns. / shall not take
any notice of this matter"
This curt response TO the message
aroused the ire of Admiral Benham
and he determined to make such
showing that it would produce last
ing effect upon the insurgents.
Early this morning great activity
prevailed on board the fleet Shortly
after daybreak the decks of the flag
ship New York, of the Newark. San
Francisco, Detroit and the other United
States war vessels here, were cleared
for action and anchors were raised.
Admiral Benham then sent word to
the captains that he was prepared to
keep his promise to them, and as soon
AS they were ready to proceed he would
escort them to the wharyes.
Captains Kithne and Myrick weak
ened and declared they did not care
10 embitter the insurgent admiral by
putting themselves under an escort of

THE CITRUS OUTPUT.
THIS YEARS CROP AS COMPARED
WITH LAST.
A Falling or Reported of Nearly go Per
Cent-Why the Crop Was So
Short and the Prices
So Low.

SAN Francisco, May 29.-The orange
low what was expected at the opening
of the season, owing to the squirt OF
frosty weather two months ago. The
total output from Southern California to
date, according to figures supplied by
the Southern Pacific company, is 5000
carloads, of which 3l00 carloads were
for eastern points.
The aggregate for the season will
probably reach 1000 carloads. This will
be- 20 per cent below the shipments OF
1893.
The output for Northern California will
not exceed 80 carloads, the. greater part
of which never gets beyond the state
line. The proximity OF San Francisco
and Sacramento to the northern citrus
belt affords home market for the or
ange growers of that district.
Not only was the crop of oranges in
Southern California light, but the prices
realized we're discouragingly low. The
reason for this depreciation is explained
in different ways. The sending of some
inferior and frosted fruit to Chicago at
the opening of the season under labsls
indicating that it was frst'class is said
to have prejudic | some OF the large
dealers against California oranges. At
any rate this mistake was used as bat
tering ram to knock down prices and to
keep them down. The profits of South
ern California orange growers were there.
fore cut to very small figure.
Another cause for the low prices was
that Florida Unexpectedly came into the
market with an unusually large output,
and the Florida growers eyinced dispo
sition to let their goods go for anything
that was offered.
Orange orchsrdists say that the Cali
fornia trees have been given a needed
rest, and that next year large crop
may be expected.

At THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
Another Fruitless Day in
the Senate.
Lumber MonOp0lizes the Work
of the Chamber.
The Full Session Spent in Useless
Discussion.
Sugar tho Next Item to be Taken Up.
Manly Free silver Talk by
the New Senator from
Georgia.

By the Associated Press.
WAsHINeroN. May 2s.-The senate
spent eight hours today discussing the
question of free lumber. Not vote was
taken. The tariff bill places lumber in
the rough on the free list. The debate
today was upon Mr.. Hale's proposition
to transfer lumber to the dutiable list at
the rates fixed in the Mckinley law.
Senators Frye and Hale OF Maine and
Perkins OF California. Mitchell and
Dolph OF Oregon, which states are most.
ly affected in the lumber industry, oc-
cupied the major portion OF the time in
the support of Mr.. Hale's amendment.
1t is probable the lumber paragraphs
will be disposed Of tomorrow.
Sugar, upon which the hardest fight
ing in the bill will occur, follows.
Mr.. Walsh, the new senator from
Georgia, delivered carefully prepared
speech on the general subject OF the
tariff. Referring to remark OF Mr..
Hoar in recent speech, that the south
was eudeavoring to ruin the industries
OF New England to get even for Ap-
pomatox, Mr.. Walsh declared that the
people of Georgia had no hostility tor
the people or the industries OF New
England. He dwelt upon Georgia's ex-
traordinary resources in raw produce for
manufacturing facilities. and submitted
tsbuiated statements from the comp
troller general OF Georgia showing an
increase in taxable values for the paat
l5 years of $3.50, ,949, pol.
THE senators from the SOUTH" he
said, "are asking this body to simply
carry out the pledges made to the people
by the Democratic party to reform the
tariff, and in connection with the tariff
bill they champion an amendment to 1T
which provides for tax upon incomes.
The eouth favors the income tax, not
from sectional or partisan motives. but
because it is equitable and right. 1t is
believed to be right not only in the
south. but by the people in every sec-
-tion. fne Wilson bill as amended in
the senate is a compromise. 1t will be
so construed and accepted by the great
majority of the American people, who
elected President Cleveland and placed
the Democratic party in power"
In reference to the silver question he
said:
while it is desirable to secure the
reconciliation oil silver by international
agreement, still If the opportunity Of
fered itself would not hesitate to vote
for free coinage, with or without inter.
national agreement, believing the i'm
mense resources and productive energies
Of this country would enable our govern
ment to suetain it on parity with gold,
and compel recognition for it from the
enlightened governments OF Europe"
Mr.. Walsh also favored the repeal OF
the tax on state bank circulation.
At AS the senate went into executive
eession and shortly afterward adjourned.

DR.. Krauskopt came here recently and

DIR. Krauskopf came here recently and
was accompanied by Representatives
Tracey and Strsus, and called on Presi-
dent Cleveland, Secretary Gresham and
other officials. 1t WAS agreed that
Gresham should notify the Russian gov
ernment OF his proposed visit and ascer-
tain II there was any objection. The
response came quickly that the cars
orders would not permit the visit.
Mr.. Rsynor at once drew up bis reso
luton, but it has been held back pend
ing certain spondence concerning
Bering sea. Mr.. Raynor says the case
OF DR.. Krauskopf presents the first issue
on the treaty rights OF Americans to
enter Russia. There have been other
congressional resolutions concerning
Jews, but they have related to Russian
Jews coming to this country.
Mr.. Rsynor now presents the question
of the treaty right OF an American GO
ing to Russia without reference to his
religion or former nationality. The
proposed visit OF DIR. Krauskopf was for
the purpose of visiting the 80 provinces
within which Russia restricts the Jews
and to ameliorate their condition.
