conversions may bc judged from what
has occurred in Kaisarea. In this place
many women whose protectors had
fallen in the mnssncres were offered
their choice between embracing the

the bricks laundering down on the tin

His Honor's head rises above the hatch
way, but only To be buried in huge,
light, silky mass, which settles down
over him and fills the opening with It's
voluminous folds.
Downward he steps, involuntarily upon
the fingers OF the man next below, who,
in an agonized effort to release himself,
sits on the head OF the individual immed-
lately beneath. The Mayor slides down
the ladder. Stified howls of anguish and
wild objurgations come thorefrom in tones
half smot hered by the fumes OF gas reek-
ing from the silk.
A moment later the people on the roof
drag the great fabric clear OF the opening.
Again the Mayor leads the way.
The moon emerges from an obscuring
cloud, as IL to greet him, as he steps out
upon the tin.
And there he perceives:
Lights flashing from the adjacent
buildings and people running along the
roofs and waving their hats. From she
street confused hum, then mighty
roar of desfening cheers. resounding the
avenues Of the great city, until II seemed
as IL all New York were chanting the
paean of its deliverance.

There was the confused shape of the
balloon, fiat and motionless, tangle of
cordage The shattered remains OF a
huge water pitcher. Three policemen
hopelessly out OF breath in paroxysms OF
laughter.
And, as the central figure, Julius, tri-
umphant.
The peril was averted, and in a way
which no one had thought of.
For the three policemen had seized the
wire, and by it had hauld down the bal

tions on an Important Matter.
Collector O'Reilly has received instruc-
tions concerning Section OF an act OF
Congress passed March 2, 1895, which is
OF the utmost interest to shipping mas
ters. The section is, in substance, as fol-
lows:
On and after July 1, 1895, each master of
a vessel arriving in the United States from
q foreign port shall Immediately upon
landing, and before entering his vessel at
the custom house, mail to the auditor OF
the treasury department at Wash
ington true copy OF the
manifest of his vessel and on entering his
vessel at the custom house shall make af-
fidayit to the collector that he has marked
such a copy and that it is true and correct.
Any violation shall be punished by the
same penalties provided for refusal TO de-
liver a manifest to the collector, a fine OF
$500, provided that this section shall not
apply to ports where there is naval
officer. The collector must also mail O
copy OF the manifest rendered him TO the
department where they will be compared
Frank envelopes are furnished free to
masters OF vessels by the collector oi
boarding officer.
This prevents fraud. Heretofore the
collector only was required to mail mani
fest copies TO Washington, and the au'
thorities there had no means of knowing
whether full cargo or only part of Il
was manifested.

Relations of England and France.

PARIS, April 2-As an indication of
the strained relations between England
and France the Matin and other French
newspapers persist in insinuating that
the collision on March 80. off Messipa,
Island of Sicily; between two British
steamers, the Alvah and BriHkburn, the
latter chartered by tho French govern
ment as transport to take troops and
munitions OF war to the island OF M ada
gascar, was due to England's malice
and that nation capable of suoh an
action should be made to repent 1t. The
Alvab, as was cabled to the Associated
Press at tho time, was sunk, and the
Brinkburn, which was on her way from
roulon to the islard of Madagascar
with French troops and munitions of
war on board, was seriously damaged
but succeeded in making the harbor OF
Messina
