BOSTON in MOURNING.
Many Buildings Are Drapsd in Sable
Trappings.

BOSTON, March 6-The city is putting
on the sombre drapsries indicative OF
her grief at the death of the Governor OF
the commonwealth. The State House will
be almost hidden under a cloud of crepe,
while at convenient points the date of the
late executives birth and death will be
placed upon tablets. A quotation from
the last message of Governor Greenhalge
TO the Lsgislsture-that announcing the
death of Ex-Governor Robinson-will be
mounted and placed in the center of the
Bulltncb front. The words are: ellis
death Is great bereavement TO the peo-
pc and the commonwealth is a sincere
mourner.n
The city hall building is also being
festooned in black and several stores and
newspaper Offices have already displayed
the insignia of mourning. Many pictures
OF the late Governor, framed in crepe. are
to be seen in the windows OF the stores
and houses.
AS far as has been made public no
further arrangements for the funeral at
Lowell have been decided upon. The
committee named by Mrs. Greenhalge to
perfect plans tor the ceremony, Colonels
Winslow and Denny and Mr.. Smith, were
in consultation I'm this city today and
Colonel Winslow returned to Lowell this
afternoon to advise with Mrs. Greenhalge
and until his return no announcement OF
any plans which may have been formed
Will be made.
There Is little doubt that Rev. George
Bachelor, secretary OF the American Uni
tartan Association OF this city, and the
Governors former pastor, will officiatc at
the funeral Mr.. Batcheior was named by
Mrs. Greenhalge but his ability to be
present was doubtful, as he was thought
to be travelling in the West and it was not
certain that the request would reach him
in time for him to return before the
funeral. The clergyman, however,
reached Boston today on his return, and
the desire that he should officiate at Lo-
well on Monday was at once made known
to him.

water mine at Neihart was the scene of
terrible explosion early this morning, re-
sultlng in the death of seven miners and
the serious injury of six others, some of
whom cannot recover. The dead are:
Frank Dorm, Jim Morrison, Hugh McKen-
zie, Dan O'Leary, Dan Ross, John Kearns
and Joe Dearborn; injured, Mike Ward,
James Comfy. Mike Coburn, James Gal
lagher and Joe Dorm.
Of the men killed all were single except
Frank Dorm. At last accounts James
Gallagher was diving. 1t is also feared
that three others will die. A special train
carried the wounded to Great Falls.
There are several stories as to the cause
of the disaster, the most reasonable one
being that the magazine, room used for
thawing powder at the middle tunnel of
the mine, exploded just as the men were
returning from lunch at 1 o'clock this
morning. One of the men was thawing
the powder with the too frequent result.
All the powder i'll the room, some thirty
sticks, was exploded. The explosion set
off box of dynamite and scattered death
to the men who happened to be passing at
the time.
1t is the worst accident that has ever
happened in Neihart, and the town is
wrapped in gloom and mourning.
1t is the third disaster that has occurred
in the State within two weeks, thus again
fulfilling the superstition that one big
mining accident is almost Immediately fol-
lowed by two others.

Shortly after o'clock an iron portico in

two hours later, when two-story wing OF

For a long time it has been becoming
less and less necessary to include mention
of Irish affairs in survey of Europe's do
lngs. Matters have reached stage now
which may well rejoice those who dislike
Ireland most. It would be hard to exag-
gerate the amazement and disgust with
which everybod in Parliament, outside a
little group of two score tenth-rate bosses
and their salaried heelers, regards the cpl
sode of Dillon's publicly forcing himself
upon the Belfast and Derby bills commit
tee in the place of Healy, whose appoint
ment had been unanimously asked for
by those concerned.
No politics whatever is involved in this
request, but the Catholics of the two
cities, who are opposing the bills, wanted
Hesly on the committee simply because
he is clever lawyer who knows the de-
tails of the case, and his presence would
save them several thousands of dollars in
lawyers bills.
This view was presented to Dillon by in
fiuential people of both towns, but he was
deaf to all arguments, and insisted that he
must be on the committee himself in nstead
OF HeaIy. although he is not a lawyer and
knows nothing about the matters in
volved, and his appointment will necessi-
tate retaining expensive counsel. As he
insisted, the Liberals could do nothing but
assent, though they had waived their
right to man on the committee at the
request of the Derry Nationals solely to
make room for Healy.
l mention these details of typical Dill.
Ion performance so that Irishmen in
America may comprehend why it is that
the home-rule movement, on which they
spent millions of dollars, has become a
pitiable laughing stock at home and
abroad.
The Irish land bill is of such scope and
contains such an intricable tumble OF
good, bad and Indifferent schemes that no.
body is able yet to form Judgment
whether, as WHOLE it will not be more a
harm than benefit to Ireland. It's yery
magnitude, however, suggests the shrewd
suspicion that there is no real intention OF
passing it at all, and no one will be sur.
prised if this happens.

He is understood to have become con-
vinced that this is necessary and to
believe that he is now strong enough to do
it. 1t is evident from all the accounts of
the elections that this popular excitement
about Cuba has reacted with most .dissa-
irons disorganizing effects on the Spanish
domestic politics. Mob violence. whole

Prince Ferdinand's arrival in st. Peters
burg to-day divides the Russian politicians
more than any other event since the new
reign began. Almost all the papers which
few months ago were reviling him with
the ugliest epithets in the language, which
is particularly rich in expletives, now well
come him effusively and applaud the de-
cison of the st. Petersburg municipal
officers to meet him on his arrival with
bread and salt and offer to him aformal
address of greeting. But the men who
were dearest to the late Gear are furious at
this parade over such shifty renegade.
Prince Mestschersky, whose Grashdanin
was the one paper that Alexander Ill per-
sonally read and would never allow the
censor to touch, denounces the reception
as degradation TO St. Petersburg and an
insult to all enlightened patriotic Rus
SLAMS. 1t, is recalled also that the St.

turned to the capitol after the Turko- Rus

The discovery that while representatives
of every other religion in the whole Rus
sian Empire, including the, tiniest non-
Christian sects in the Asiatc portions,
have been invited to the coronation fes-
tivities in Moscow next month, not a
single Jewish rabbi is included in the list,
must open the eyes Of those who clung all
along to the notion that Israel had some
thing to hope for from the new reign. To
make the affront more pointed delega-
ton of rabbis has been invited from the
Crimean community of Karaim Jews, or
rather Judaized Tartars, who NUM- Der
about 1000 and who are disowned by all
orthodox Hebrews. These schismatics,
who reject the Talmud. have always been
petted by the Russian anti-Semites just to
enrage the Jews in general, and for this
reason they will be thrust forward at Mos
COW as representing the entire Hebraic
race.

indeed are piled high on every side, but at
the last moment, as happened SO often be-

folly TO predict at all / should hazard
guess that Bourgeois will be found ready
with plan for thrusting domestic ques-
tions into the background and creating the
impression that the foreign situation has
suddenly grown very grave.
President Faure's hurried visit of in

very likely the prelude to such game.

somewhat more intimately and confidently

The decision of the clerical party in the
Reichstag to take the lead in the agitation
against military dueling in Prussia is by
far the cleverest thing that the Catholic
leaders in Germany have done since Wind
horst's death. AS was said last week, the
circumstances surrounding this latest
Kotze-Schrader tragedy have created q
profound impression throughout the en-
pire, which is spreading so that it may
become the universal subject of talk.
People with memories liken the popular
excitement about it TO that which stirred
all France at the beginning of 1870, when
Prince Pierre Bonaparte shot Victor Noir.
1t is recalled that historians are fond of
dating the fall of the second empire from
that event, which laid hold of the public
imagination with grip that nothing
could shake off. Although it is true that
no question of dynasty kinship or politics
Is now involved it is also true that Emper-
or Williams personal responsibility for
the tragedy is much more direct than was
Napoleon III's. 1t can we'll be believed
that the Ministers at Berlin are growing
excessively nervous at the indications of
the way the people have taken this thing
to heart and wish that the Bismarckian
junker fire-eaters and editors who have
chosen this moment to bawl ecstatic
praises of dueling and laud the Kaiser to
the skies for his manly sympathy with it
were at the bottom of the seas. The En-
peror himself is at Carlsruhe, where he
may get nothing but good advice from his
uncle, the Grand Duke of Baden. Whether
he will follow it is another matter What

this will probably turn out to be the most

His Visits Are Appreciated.

West Southport, March 31.-A few days
ago, one of my lady friends. asked of
me, how do you enjoy yourself on sig
nal station. l told her that life. Cd q lit
tie rock off in the ocean was not so dis
NAL as most of people imagine it to be,
and that we had very pleasant times in
deed. Well, she asked, don't you dread
inspection day. Don't you hate to have
the inspector prying around and search
ing through your house for something to
grumble about. I said to her that is 1.
false idea, but one that somehow has be-
come common one, and 1 myself, be-
fore came to live ON station had
somehow or neutrality-suspicious. into my
head that the inspector lived for the sole
purpose of making everybody else feel n
comfortable. But now just let me de-
scribe to you Commander Wingate the
present inspector of the first lighupous
district. Just picture to yourself a tall,
soldierly, looking man, with a bright,
pleasant face pleasant to look at and
very pleasant to talk with. He comes to
our station every three months, and
when on these visits he always comes into
our houses, with pleasant smile on his
face, shakes us cordially by the hand, ev-
eryone, even stopping to pat the baby.
He inquiries kindly after your health,
asks how you are getting along.if you are
comfortable and happy. He then takes
look about the house, not, however,
seeking after spot or stain, to grumble
about, as once used to think, but to see
if you have everything needful for your
comfort. He then proceeds to transact
the other business of the station for
which he came, and then bidding each
one friendly goodbye he takes his de-
parture for some other station along the
coast. And instead Of dreading inspection
deywe feel inclined to wish that it might
come oftener.
We hear that Commander Wingate is
soon to go from the service. We are very
sorry to hear it, but if so may his SUCCESS
sor be like unto him. C. e. M.
