ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 15.-Court
physicians in attendance at the &C
couchement of the czarina report the
child to be handsome girl, and they
agree that the mother is rapidly re-
covering. Services connected with the
birth of the infant were held in ac-
cordance with the rites of the ortho-
dox Greek church. The baby has been
named Olga.
The czarina Grand Duchess Alex
andria FeodorovnA was born at
Darmstadt, Hesse, June 6, 1872. She
was the Princess Alix Victoria Louise
Beatrice Of Hesse and was married to
Car Nicholas II on November 26, 1894.
In accordance with the laws of Rus
STA, and by manifesto issued by Car
Nicholas. on the 21st day of October
(old style), 1894, she was renamed
Alexandria Feodorovna and received
the title of grand duchess and imperial
highness.
Princess Alix was the daughter of
Grand Duke Louis " of Hesse and of
Alice, Princess of Great Britain and
Ireland, third child and second daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria. Her brother is
the present grand duke of Hesse; her
sister Irene is the wife of Prince
Henry of Prussia; another sister, Prin-
cess Elizabeth, is the wife of Grand
Duke Sergius of Russia, and her old
est sister is the wife of Prince Louis
Of Battenburg.
When Princess Alix was but II years
of age, and while in attendance at the
wedding of her sister Elizabeth, she
met Nicholas, then grand duke, who
was in his 18th year. The children be-
came attached to each other, but the
czarevitch's affections for the princess
was diverted for some time. Six years
later her father made a, visit to the
Russian court, accompanied by Prin-
cess AliX, and her presence in the Rus
sian capital was the means of renew
ing their liking for each other, but
the princess was then an ardent Luz
theran, and the question of having to
become a member of the orthodox
church had to be considered. Owing
to the i'll health and subsequent death
of the car, Alexander III, the mar
riage of Princess AliX and Nicholas
was hastened. Concessions such as
never before had been secured in en-
bracing the orthodox faith were OBJ
tanned from the holy synod. The
princess was not required to declare
her former religion to be (ccursed nor
that her conversion was due to the
COnVlCtlOn tnaL the truth lies nOI WIFI
her own but with the Russian church.
The holy synod was satisfied with the
simple declaration that the princess
joined the Greek church in order to be
of the same religion as her husband.
The czarina has artistic tastes, loves
music and is fond of outdoor sports.
She is of a sweet disposition, sympa-
thetic and kind and has made many
friends. It was thought that she would
exercise a strong influence over the
car, and this was encouraged by the
issuance of an ukase by the car on
the subject of establishing a central
council of administration for work.
houses and reformatories. which was
designed to provide the poor with hon
orable means of employment, in which
the czarina proposes to take the in
stitution under her patronage. 1t is
understood that her majesty drew up
the statutes in question herself

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Lieutenant Peary Reads Paper on
the Subject.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Morris K.
Jessup presided at the reception by the
members of the American Geographical
society last night at the American Mu-
scum of Natural History to Lieutenant
Peary, the Arctic explorer. Lieutenant
Peary read a paper on Arctic expedi-
lions.
Il strained every energy for years
and spent every cent in my desire to
reach the north pole said Lieutenant
Peary. 1.-The desire to secure a lasting
reputation was not paramount with
me. The prime object, however, was
not the discovery of the north pole, but
to explore the northern extension of
Greenland and the adjacent lands.

plished all of my objects.
Arctic explorations thus far, with
two exceptions, have been carried on
haphazard. The two exceptions are
the systematic and sustained eXpedi-
tions of the British government, result
ing in the discovery of the northwest
passage and the exploration by Henry
Grinnell, under the liberal patronage
of Baron Dix, when the northeast pas
sage was accomplished.

to reach the pole by a balloon, L would
prefer to forego until science has done
more to perfect such means of car

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.-1t is
announced that three prison officials
of Moosh, dismissed some time ago
upon the demand of the British am
bassador, owing to their maltreatment
of prisoners. have been reinstated. The
British charge d'affaires, Hon. Mich
ael Herbert has demanded of the porte
that the three prison officials be again
dismissed.
The rioting at siras was attended by
great bloodshed, but order has been
partially restored and the Turkish Of
ficials are protecting the foreigners
there. No change in the situation IS
anticipated for some days.
The reports of a conflict between an
Albanian regiment and the Tripol1 regl-
ment at Yildiz Kisosk has not been
confirmed, although it is we'll known
that there has been bad blood be
tween the guards at the palace ever
since the Tripoh regiment furnished
sentries instead of the Albanians as a
result of notes being left with the diff
ferent palace officials saying that
their lives were in danger and that
there was a plot to assassinate the
sultan.
Official dispatches received here con-
tain additional accounts of Armenian
lawlessness. 1t is reported that the Ar
menians have attacked the villages
of Forakh, Bitchli and Brehansis, near
Zeitoun, firing fifty-seven houses in
all. They also burned the village of
Kurbel and one Mohammedan was
burned alive. Eighteen Mussulmans,
of both sexes, were killed and fifteen
wounded by the rioters at Tchoukour-
hissar. The town of Observation-Disclosures
was totally destroyed by the rioters.
Several Mussulman villages have been
sacked in the AZirlon and Tchokmer-
zemenk districts.
The sultan has sent fresh peren' y
tory instructions to wallis of the Offer
ent districts where the disorders have
occurred. as we'll as to the military
commanders, telling them that they
must promptly restore order by the
Just and equitable treatment of both
Christians and Mohammedans.
The report that the sultan intends
to recall Shakir Pasha, the high COM
missioner for Armenian reforms, from
Erzeroum and eventually appoint him
grand vizier, is not yet confirmed
by mis- actual recall, but it is persis-
tently stated that the pasha will short
ly be appointed grand vizier.

FULLY CONFIRMED.
No Doubt About the Massacre at
ErZeroUm.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-A Times dis
nearly four columns in length dated
November 13 fully confirms the ac-
counts previously published concerning
the massacre there. The writer says
it is impossible yet to ascertain the
number of killed. Some persons as
sert it will reach 1000. Perhaps 1000
is not far from the total.
The writer continues: eve have
not dared to go to the quarters of the
city where the Turks are numerous.

eating more than tenth of the cases.

dead Turk in this struggle. This.
think, disproved the charges of agrees
sion brought up against the Armenians.
The bare facts are that it was purely
massacre of the innocent inhabi-
tants by the enraged Turks, and but
for the presence of foreign consuls
things would have been worse. With
the coming of winter the misery in
store for the remaining Armenians will
be terrible"
The correspondent quoted, who is
staying at the American mission, says
he heard testimony in various quarters
that the government ordered the mas
sacres, which was to be executed ac-
cording to previous orders.
AS a proof Of the suddenness, he
says, an American missionary named
Chambers had just gone to the post
Office in order to telegraph to Bitlis
that everything was quiet. Before he
got back to the mission the firing had
begun in deadly earnest and bullets
were whizzing close by him.

WEAKENED THE EVIDENCE.

TORONTO, Nov. 15.-The cross-ex-
animation of E. W. Aylesworth was
continued at this mornings session of

somewhat weakened the evidence
which he gave yesterday relative to
an agreement by which Hyams prom
ised Willie Wells $500 at the end of
i've years provided he would allow
$4,000 to be placed on his life. Wit
ness was compelled to admit that while
he had heard it on indisputable evil
dence that such an agreement did ex-
list, he was not present when it was
made. All efforts on the part of the
prisoners counsel to make Aylesworth
recede from his statement relative to
the small volume of business done by
Hyams was unavailing.

forty cabs today driven by non-union

a policeman in civilian dress on the

regarding the reasons which led to the
sudden collapse of the sympathetical

Neither did the Tribune's action in
nominating Ex-Governor Thomas for

because he would be the proper man

friend, Judge Goodwin, and Frank
