legitimate trade. Puerto Del Padre is a

ANARCHIST TABLEAUX.
Buffalo is Mild on Speeches, but the
Anarchists Put Their Ideas
Into Pretents.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March ls.-The So
cialist Labor party celebrated the ami
versary of the French commune In an
unique manner here The speeches were
guarded in tone, but the symbolic color Of
anarchy was everywhere. When EraSI
mus Pellenz. of Syracuse, the principsl
speaker, had finished, the climax OF the
evening came. The stage curtain was
rolled up and a scene was disclosed which
made the audience yell with delight and
approval The tableauX was significant
one and showed the sentiments OF the
majority of those present. About tif-
teen people were on the stage.
The center figure was a young woman
representing the Goddess Of Liberty.
She wore flowing robes of white and had
her right arm extended on high. In her
uplifted hand she held a sword Of great
PROPORTIONS, and clustered around her
were a dozen men, representing the labor
ing classes. Every one of them held a
weapon which was capable OF deadly exc
cution. One held revolver, another a
Ratchet, another a sIung-Shot, another a
rifle, and several held bludgeonS of
various sizes In front Of this array was
a man in evening dress. He represented
the capitalist. He had well teigned look
of terror OH his face as he surveyed the
mob in front of him. The orchestra played
the "Marsellaise," and several fierce
bearded men in the audience jumped on
chairs and threw their hats into the air.
Several of the women became imbued
with the spirit of the occasion and waved
their handkerchi+fs in the air.

MRS. PAGANO MAJ LAND.
So She Will Come to Join Her Indiferen
Husband.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20.-Com-
missioner-General Stump to-day decided
that Rosario Pagano and her two children
from Italy, bound for San Francisco, may
be landed at Ellis Island. The authorities
had detained her on the ground that she
was liable to become public charge
She has husband in San Francisco,
who is living there under an as
sumed name. He was found by the
Commissioner of immigration at San
Francisco and informed of the detention of
his wife at New York. He showed little
desire to have her come West and declined
to advance the necessary money to pay her
railroad fare. AS Mrs. Pagano had but $50
the employees on Ellis Island donated an
additional $50 and she will leave for the
West tonight. An investigation of her
case shows that she had supported herself
in Italy, and was not likely to become a
public charge in this country, even if her
husband refused 10 receive her.
Mrs. Pagano intimates that her husband
has taken up with another woman, and for
that reason she is especially DESTROYS of
going to San Francisco. The immigrant
authorities at San Francisco have been
ordered to keep watch out on Pagano
that he does not escape before his family
arrives,

SIR JULIAN EXPLAINS,
Why He Signed the Congratu-
latory RESOLUTIONS on the
St. Louis Voyage.
Merely the Expression of Thanks
to the Captain of the
Vessel.

LONDON, ENG, June 20.-In the House
of Commons to-day A. J. c. Doneland
Parnellite member from Cork, asked the
Government what explanation would be
made of the action of Sir Julian Pauncefote
in signing the congratulatory resolutions
on the occasion of the first voyage of the
new American steamer st. Louis. Mr.
Doneland demanded to know whether in
view of the fact that such action on the
part of a British Minister to a foreign
country was being utilized to advertise a
foreign company at the expense of British
companies, the Government would request
Sir Julian Pauncefote either to substan-
tiate the assertions he had Endorsed in the
document mentioned or withdraw his
name therefrom.
Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, said: Il am in
formed that the resolutions were merely
the usual expression of thanks voted to the
The resolutions do not reflect upon the
British companies in the least
Right Hon. Arthur B. Forewood asked
whether the Government betrayed the ex-
penses of the passage of her Majesty's rep
resentatives to and from foreign countries,
or if they had suggested that the gentle
men should travel on British ships.
[Cries of "Oh"l
Sir Edward Grey said the Government
knew nothing about the circumstances OF
the voyage.
J. Henniker Heaton asked if it was true
that on June 6 large number of letters
bearing 2-cent United States stamps had
arrived from New York and been deliv-
cred in London, and if the recipients of the
letters had been fined pence for deficient
postage. Also whether it was true that
each envelope had been found to contain
offensive circulars and whether there ex-
listed any arrangement with other Govern
ments in regard to such cases whereby
fines for deficient postage were recoverable
from the sender instead of from the inno-
cent addressee.
Arnold Morley, Postmaster General,
said the facts were as they had been
stated by Mr.. Heaton. Arrangements
| could not always be made, however, in
accordance with the last question asked
but as the case mentioned was a very
exceptional one he SAID representations
| would be made to the Postmaster General
| of the United States
