Gambling In Russian Society.

The responsibility for much of the high
play that goes on in the salons of st. Pc
tersburg lies at the doors of Marie Pavlov-
ma When the grand duchess first started
roulette at her weekly receptions, even the
cynical, worldly and somewhat unprinci-
pied society of St. Petersburg confessed
itself startled. The grand duchess, how
ever, declared she was passionately fond
of the game, and consequently when, a
week later she attended party given in
her honor by her intimate friend, Princess
Betsy Bariatinski, the hostess felt in duty
bound to provide roulette table for the
entertainment of her imperial guest.
That settled the matter, for next to the
grand duchess Princess Betsy is the best
known and most influential leader of Rus
sian society, and thenceforth the roulette
wheel was considered rs de rigueur at all
the receptions and social functions of the
Muscovite gratin. While roulette is now
practically played everywhere at st. Pc
tersburg, doubt if there are any private
houses where such high play goes on as
that of Princess Betsy, who receives every
evening throughout the season. Her salon
is the most ultra exclusive of the Russian
metropolis, and admission thereto is sutfi-

GENEROUS OFFER.
Edward CrossIey's Rejecting Telescope
Offered to Lick Observatory.

Offered to Lick Observatory.
San Jose, CAL, April 6.-The di-
rector of the Lick observatory today
received a telegram announcing that
the Hon. Edward Crossley, lately Il
member of parliament for Halifax, Eng
land, proposes to present to the LICK
observatory his great three-foot reflect
ing telescope with its dome and all ap-
paratus complete. Mr.. Crossley, him.
self an enthusiastic amateur astrono-
mer, will attach no conditions to his
gift, except that his telescope, when
set up at Mount Hamilton, shall be
called the Crossley reflector, and that
the expenses of transporting the instru-
ment and dome from England to Cali
fornia shall be borne by Americans
The splendid instrument which Mr..
Crossley offers is we'll known to astron-
omers. 1t was made by Mr.. A. A.
Common, of London, and for the mag
niflcent photographs with it Mr.. Com
mon received the gold medal of the
Royal Astronomical Society. 1t was
then purchased by Mr.. Crossley and set
up in his private observatory at Hall
fax, England, along with other instru-
ments. An experience i'll astronomy
has shown Mr.. Crossley that the climate
of England is not good enough to do
justice with this great telescope, and
he therefore determined to present it to
an observatory which was favora-
bly, situated, where it could be used to
the fullest advantage. 1t Is compll-
ment to the Lick observatory that Mr..
Crossley has selected it to receive his
gift, and it is a practical recognition
of the fact that California is the ideal
climate for making astronomical OBJ
servations, as has been fully shown by
the experience of the past years
The addition of this great reflector
to the equipment of the Lick obserya-
tory, which already possesses the great
three-foot refractor, makes the lnstru-
mental outfit of Mount Hamilton de-
cidedly superior to that of any observ-
atory now existing. The refractor Is
eminently suitable for certain kinds OF
work, and there are other kinds IN
which the reflector possesses distinct
advantages. AS the Lick observatory
will soon have great telescope of each
kind established in most favorable
situation, it will be admirably fitted i'll
the future for every kind of astronomi-
cal work.
1t may be mentioned that the origi-
nal plan of the Lick observatory con-
templated the installation Of a great
reflector as we'll as a great refractor.
1t was found that the funds left by Mr..
Lick were not adequate to provide both
these instruments, and the plan for
making the reflector was reluctantly
abandoned. The splendid gift of Mr..
Crossley comes to complete the equip
ment of the observatory III a most salts
factory manner.
The cost of dismounting the rehec-
tor and dome in England, of transport
ing them to California (only the more
important parts of the framework of
the dome will be required here, and
of erecting the complete apparatus at
Mount Hamilton, will be about s., 900.
This sum must be raised by subscription
in America before Mr.. Crossley's gen
erous offer can be definitely accepted.

Appeal to California for Seed.

San Francisco, April 6. - The
drought-stricken districts of Nebraska
have sent in an appeal to California
for seed-principally barley and oats.
This appeal comes to the state board of
trade, and yesterday Secretary Fletcher
held a consultation with William Fl.
Mills as to what would be the best
course to pursue. 1t was determined
to make an appeal to the farmers of this
state to aid their suffering brethren in
Nebraska, and circular will be pre-
pared and sent out to all the papers in
the interior, asking the cooperation of
everyone interested. The plan proposed
is to have every farmer give what he
feels he can spare, no matter if it be
one sack or a carload. Arrangements
will be made to receive and store this
grain at some point in this city until
all that can be secured is in hand, when
it will be forwarded to its destination.

OutrageS in Armenia Resulted from
Worst Government on Earth
1T Is Nur PARTY MATTER
Resolution Adopted Demanding Action
in Behalf OF the oppressed-Work OF
Ravishers and Torturers-ConstAnti-
nOple Government Responsible, Etc.

CHESTER (Eng.), Aug. g. - The
Town Hall was packed today in an
ticipation of hearing a speech by Mr..
Gladstone upon the Armenian ques-
ton. Among those present were
Messrs. d. r. Clifford and Robert 7.
Paine of the American Peace Society.
The audience rose with vociferous
cheering when Mr.. and Mrs. Glad
stone entered. The Duke of West
minister, chairman, read letter from
the Marquis of Salisbury, the new
premier, notifying the Duke that the
sum of E1000 subscribed for the relief
of the Armenians had been forwarded
to the British ambassador at Con-
stantinople, Sir Phillip Curry, who
had been given full discretion as to
the manner in which the money was
to be distributed.
After the usual preliminaries, Glad
stone rose amid ar Outburst of enthu-
siasm. He said that the Armenian
question was not party matter nor
religious affair. The present situa-
ton in Armenia resulted from an in.
tolerably bad government, perhaps
the worst on the face of the earth.
applause
Mr.. Gladstone read the following
resolution:
''Be it resolved, That this meeting
expresses the conviction that her mai
esty's government will have the cor
dial support OF the entire nation, with
out distinction or party. In any Lneas-
ure it may adopt in order TO secure for
the Armenians such forms of admin
istratiOn in their provinces as may
provide effective guarantees for their
safety, life, honor, religion and prop
erty, and no reforms can be effected
without the continuous control of Eu-
ropean powers"
Mr.. Gladstone than said the resolu.
tion was moderate, but it expressed
not only his sentiments but those OF
their transatlantic brethern, who felt
even more strongly than did those
present that the dispassionate inquiry
which was made after the Sassoun
massacre showed that the powers of
language did not suffice TO describe
the outrages, which made his blood
run cold. (Applause.)
"The inquiry" he continued, ''veri-
fed all the sickening details, not only
of European but of American testi-
mony, which was doubly entitled to
credence, as America, politically, had
no interest in the LeVant. This testi-
mony," continued Mr.. Gladstone, with
energy, "summed up into four words,
was, 'Plunder, murder, rape, torture
But" he added, "plunder and murder
were comparatively mild beside the
work of the ravishers and tOrturers.
"This is not the work of the danger
Gus classes, but of the government at
COnstantinople and its agents. And
there is not one of their deeds for
which the government is not respon-
sible." (Applause.)

DENBY DEMANDS PRoTECFIoN.
Redress for DepredatiOns Committed Up
on American Missionaries in China.

hcuTebs IOE DepEeualAOhs
on American Missionaries in China.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE United
States anticipated Great Britain ia
taking the first steps for the prOtec-
ton of the American missionaries in
China. The injustice of the criticisms
that have been uttered in some quar-
ters upon the alleged indifference of
United States Minister DENLY is fully
shown by a mail dispatch that has
come to the State Department from
the Minister. 1t is dated toward the
close Of June and shows that Minister
DENLY had made a sweeping and per-
emptory demand upon the Chinese
government similar to that made yes
terday by the British Minister at Pc
king-the fullest protection for all
Americans living in China, for redress
for the depredatiOns committed upon
their property and persons and finally
for the capital punishment of the per
petrators.
Just what answer was returned by
the Chinese government Is not known,
as it has not yet reached the State de-
partment, but it is 6 fact, so far as the
department is informed, in all of the
recent outrages committed upon the
missionaries in China, not one Amer
lean was killed or injured, and while
some American mission property was
destroyed, it will doubtless be prompt
ly paid for.
