CHARLES A. DANA LIBEL CASE.

Probationary Examination Ended-Matter
to Come Up Again April 2.
NEW YORK, March 19.-The prelimi-
nary examination of Charles A. Dana,
the editor Of The Sun, on the Indictment
for criminal libel of Frank j. Noyes, of
the Washington Star, brought together
an unusually large assemblage at the
Office of United States Commissioner
Shields in the federal building. The in
dictment also included William M. Laf
fan, the publisher of The Sun, who has
not yet been arrested.
Dana was present with his counsel, and
there was considerable sparring between
the lawyers in an attempt to find out just
what responsibility the editor had for the
publication Of the libel at Washington.
1t failed, as the commissioner ruled out
all the questions The defense was I'M
covered, however, and it will be fight to
beat the effort to have the case tried at
Washington. Root, of counsel for Dana,
made this plain when he claimed and Of
fered to show that the defendant commit
ted no offense in the District of Columbia,
so that there could be no Jurisdiction of
the court there over the case.
Commissioner Shields finally an
nounced that he would sign a regular
warrant of commitment for Dana and
bold him to await the order of removal by
the district judge. Root asked that Dana
be discharged on his own recognizance
pending this application, which was as
sented to. After the commissioners de-
cision had been announced District At
torney MacFarlane and Lawyers Bartlett,
Root and Clark appeared before. Judge
Brown in the United States district court
and il was arranged that the application
for removal of the case to the District of
Columbia court should be heard on Mon
day. April l, at 2 D. IN.

An Incident In the Strike Situation at
the Crescent City.
New ORLEANS March ia gang Of
negro laborers who crossed the river to
unload the steamer Etolia, of Elder
Dempster s. Co., were met on their ar
rival by number Of white men and told
that they would not DO allowed to work,
and were commanded to return to this
side of the river at once. They reported
to the agents of the line what had oc.
Cured. Later company of three from
the Screwmen's association of Jefferson
came over to this city, called on the agent,
and applied for work on the steamer.
Their grievance, which caused the tur-
bulence, was that labor was being en-
ployed from another parish to work on
ships lying ut the wharves in the parish
of Jefferson. They have always consid-
cred that they had lion on this work
and always protested against the impor-
tation of labor, white or black. The
agent of the line warned the men that
they would not be allowed to dictate who
should be employed on the ships and
after brief conference it was agreed that
the work on the Etolja should be divided
the Jefferson parish men taking one-half
and the negroes from this side the other.
Governor Foster, accompanied by Gen.
eral Fairies and other officers, visited the
levee and inspected the troops IN duty.
The whole river front presented a more
decidedly lively appearance than ut
any time for the past week. Cotton is ar
irving freely and the men are busy at
work loading ships without molestation
on the part of any one. There is also a
decided falling off in the number of
loungers along the. levee.

Then Nikolas took the steward aside
and showed him the kings order. bear
ing the kings seal; and the steward.
although both greatly astonished and
greatly grieved, could not deny the let
ter or the seal, but declared himself
ready to obey and to surrender the
castle: and the sergeant in command
of the guard said the same: but, they
added. since the princess was in the
castle. they must inform her of the
matter and take her commands.
AYE. do" said Nikolas. sitting down
In the great hall Tell her not to be
disturbed. but to give me the honor of
being her host for as long as she will:
and say that | will wait upon her, if it
be her pleasure" And he smiled to
think of the anger and scorn with
which Osra would receive the tldings
when the steward delivered them to
her.
In this respect the event did not fall
short of his expectations; for she was
so indignant and aghast that, thinking
of nothing but the tidings, she flung
away the book and cried. Send the
count here to me-" and stood waiting
for him there in her chamber, In her
white gown and with her hair un-
bound and flowing down over her
shoulders. And when he came she
cried. what Is this, my lord?' and
listened TO his story with parted lips
and flashing eyes, and thus read the
kings letter and saw the kings seal.
And her eyes filed with tears. but she
lashed them away with her hand. Then
the. count said bowling to her as mock
ingly as he had bowed to her brother:
1T Is the fortune Of the dice, ma
dame
"Yes. my lord as you play the game"
said she.
His eyes were fixed upon her, and 1t
seemed to him that she was more beau
tifu! In her white gown and with her
hair unbound over her shoulders than
he had ever felt her to be before; and
ne eyed her closely. Suddenly she
looked at him; and for a moment he
ayertei his eyes; but he looked again
and her eyes met his. For several mo-
merits she stood rigid and motionless.
Then she said: MY lord, the king has
lost the castle of Zenda. which Is the
nome and cradle of our house. 1t was
scarcely the kings alone to lose. Have
I no title in n?"
''It was the kings madame, and now
II is mine" smiled Nikolas.
well. then. IL is yours said she;
and. taking step toward him, she
said: Have you mind to venture It
again. my lord?"
II would venture 1t only against a
great stake" said he, smiling still.
while hts eyes were fixed on her face,
and marked every change In the color
of her cheeks.
II can play at dice as well as the
king!' she cried. Are we not all
gamblers, we Elphbergs?' And she
laughed bitterly.
But what would your stake be-" he
asked sneeringly.
Princess Osra's face was now very
pale, but her voice did not tremble and
she did not finch: for the honor Of her
house and of the throne was as sacred
to her as her salvation, and more than
her happiness.
IA stake. my lord" said she, that
many gentlemen have thought above
any castle in preciousness"
"Of what do you speak?'' he asked.
and his voice quivered a little. as a
mans dolce in excitement. For. par
