Bsimorsl Castle,
London. Sept. 23.-A dispatch from
Ballater. Scotland. near Balmoral cas-
tie. says: THE queens special train
bearing the car and czarina of Russia
family who accompanied them arrived
here at 7:05 o'clock last evening. After
the formal reception by the municipal
authorities the czar and czarina en-
tered an open state carriage. and es-
corted by the Scots Greys drove to
Balmoral. AS the imperial personages
started on their drive the first bonfire
rived at the entrance of the castle
grounds of Balmoral me servants Of
the castle and the Balleter and Crathie
volunteers led the procession of car
riages with flaming torches. and three
other bonfires on the adjoining peaks
Illuminated ...e mountain side with a
glare of light.
"Balmoral castle was reached without
any incident. The queen and Princess
Beatrice received their imperial guests
at the door of the castle, and the
warmest greetings were exchanged, the
bagpipes meanwhile sounding a shrill
welcome and the torches carried by
the servants being thrust high in the
air, accompanied by loud cheering of
all the attendants. Before the Russian
party disappeared within the doors the,
torch bearesr marched past them in
single file"
The significance of this royal visit
will not be fully known until later, but
in view of the situation in the east and
the relationship between Queen Vic
toria and Car Nicholas, there are
hopes that Russia and Great Britain
may be brought into closer and more
friendly relations and to act together
in the Armenian question. The Bir-
mirgham Post says that at the ex-
pressed desire of the car important
communications upon the Armenian
question have passed between the Mar
.quis of Salisbury and M. de Staal, the
Russian ambassador at London, in
which certain points have been agreed
upon to form the basis for a consulta-
ton between the czar and the Marquis
of Salisbury. There Is 10 doubt that
the queen will use all her influence to
the end noted in the foregoing.

Leadville, Colo. Sept 2s.-Renewed
rioting occurred here last night. The
entire city was up and in arms At
10 o'clock the military guard at the
Bon Air mine. on Carbonate hill. was
attacked. The pickets were driven in
behind the stockades by a fusillade OF
lead fred from one of the dark recesses
of the mountain. Buckshot riddled the
timberwork of the mine and whistled
close 10 the ears of the militiamen.
The fire was returned. the heavy ring
of the Springfield rifle sounded on the
air, and in a few moments all Lead
vile was awake. Lieutenant Verdeck-
berg telephoned General Brooks that
the guard had been driven in. and
few moments later the troops were
turned out and started to the Bon Air
on double time.
Infantry Makes "a Bayanet Charge.
The shots from the Bon Air sounded
windows of the town, and within half
an hour the streets were filled with
men, armed and ready TO go to the
mine, which is some little distance
away. The exchange of shots was live
ly and lasted fully fifteen minutes.
The attacking party was located in
one spot, while the fire of the military
was scattering and from different points
along the guard line. a squad of in
fantry with fixed bayonets charged
into the brush, but the assailants re-
treated rapidly before them and were
soon silenced.
Occurred at an Inopportune Time.
This attack occurred at time when
the union was consulting for peace, and
will have the effect of causing renewed
enlistments to the ranks of the militia
today. No one was injured among the
troops. IT is not known whether any of
the rioters were killed or injured. 1t
will be impossible to tell Din later In
dignation prevails and it is the general
opinion that this attack will bring forth
a declaration of martial law.
Objective Point Was the waterworks
There have been rumors for the past
few days that there would he renewed
trouble. but this was scoffed at by the
military. 1t is generally believed that
the men who made the assault of last
night were on their way to the water
works for the purpose of tampering
with the water supply of the city, and
were discovered, when they opened fire
on the guards. 1t is believed that the
outbreak was caused by the arrival of
workmen from the lead minese of Mis-
souri, Saturday. when twelve companies
of military were necessary TO conduct
the men through the town.
