SEEKING INFORMATION.
RUssIA's MINISTER. OF WAYS AND
COMMUNICATIONS IN AMERICA.
He Comes to Investigate Our Ways
of Doing Things, with the Idea
That the Information Gained May
Be of Value to His Countrymen-
The Great Siberian Road.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. s.
Prince Michel Hil1off, the Russian
minister of ways and communicat lions,
arrived here yesterday on the Belgic.
Speaking on the objects of his visit
to the United States, the prince said to
a representative of the United Asso-
ciated Presses:
LAS the minister of ways and COM
munications which includes the rail-
ways in my country, 1 desired to visit
the United States and Europe and
gain what information OF value 1 could
that might be utilized in Russia. At
the same time I concluded TO make the
long trip from st. Petersburg to Vladi-
vostOck, while en- route here, in order
that I might personally inspect the
great Siberian road.
IT was FIVE weeks inspecting this
road, and then a Russian man-of-war
conveyed me and my party from Vlad-
livestock to Yokohama, where we went
aboard the Belgic.
The road is in excellent condition.
We Travelled on it in some places at a
speed of thirty miles an hour, which is
pretty good for new road. Our rails
had during the past winter been laid
on the ice over rivers and lakes. On
some of the branches of the AMOR
river there is some very wild and pic
turaSQue scenery. Then there are the
famed Siberian Steppes, over which We
passed. I think it will prove an ex-
ceptionally attractive line for tourists
I'VE have to cross the Bikael sea
or lake by steamer for a distance of 500
miles. We traverse deserts, then
stretches of as fine land as is to be
seen in the world. Besides these there
are vast forests of magnificent pine,
cedar and fir. We have 1000 miles of
navigable rivers there.
Between Vladivostock and Khabar-
osk we have 1000 miles of railway
transportation, while beyond we have
600 miles more, and We expect in two
years to have steam communication
from Vladivostock to st. Petersburg.
The road as far as built is in excellent
condition
The prince says he will only be able
to spend a week or ten days in the
United States. The railway magnates
of the country have placed special cars
at his disposal all the way across the
continent. Mr.. Depew of the New York
Central will send his own magnificent
car to receive Prince HiIkoff and his
associates.

MADE A BAD "sITTER.-
Trouble of Artists With the Prin-
cess of Wales in Her Youth.

When the Princess of Wales was a
young bride she was constantly in re-
quest for sitting 10 portrait painters,
sculptors and photographers. She was
not, however, d good SITTER" and used
to pout when compelled to endure the
tediousness of sitting in a studio Mr..
Firth, the painter, was engaged to
paint picture of the prince and prin-
cess, and he gives a pleasant glimpse
of his fluctuations with the Princess
| Alexandria.
The princess, says Mr.. Firth, was
very young and very beautiful, as all
the world knows. She graciously con-
ford me every assistance in the way of
sitting for my picture
The princess is also we'll known for
her kindness of heart. oh, how that
heart would have ached if its owner
had realized the aching of mine when
l, too soon, discovered that the illustri-
Gus young lady did not know that
keeping the face in one position for a.
few minutes even was necessary to en-
able an artist to catch a, resemblance
of it,
The first sitting can I ever forget? 1
did not dare to complain Till after two
downright failure staring me in the
face, 1 opened my heart to the Prince
of Wales.
You should scold her." said the
prince.
just AT this time the princess was
sitting for her bust 10 the celebra led
sculptor, Gibson, r. A, in a room at
Marlborough house 1 was sent for by
the prince, and before 1 was admitted
to an interview, l was shown into the
sculptor's studio, and found him wait
ing for sitting from the princess.
The bust was already in an advanced
stage. l did not think it was very like.
and in reply to Gibson l said So
We'll, you see," said Gibson. 1.-The
princess is a delightful lady, but she
can't sit Bit
AT that moment I was summoned to
the prince whom l found with the prin-
cess, and l saw, or thought l saw. a
sort of pretty, smiling poua. ELOQUENT
of reproof and of half anger with me.
The prince had something to show me
photographs, I think-and then he led
the way to Gibson. the princess and l
following.
No sooner did we find ourselves in
the sculptors presence than-after
some remarks upon the bust-the prince
said:
How do you find the princess sit,
Mr.. Gibson?"
Now, thought I, ''if ever a man was
in an awkward fix you are Mr. Glib
son, for after what you said TO me a
few minutes ago you cannot in my
presence compliment the beautiful
model on her sitting
The prince looked at Gibson, and
Gibson looked in dead silence at the
prince and then at the princess. Then
he looked again at the prince, smiling
and shook his head.
There, you see, you sit properly
neither to Mr.. Gibson nor TO Mr.. FIRTH
I do dol" said the lady. You are
two bad men,
And then we all smiled; and Gibson
went on with his work, the princess
sitting admirably for the short time
that I remained.-Youth's COMPANION.

BISHOP KEANE.
Carroll Institute Crowded with His
Friends and Admirers.

Friends and Admirers.
WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-Carroll Insti-
tute hall was crowded to the doors to-
night with an immense audience that
came to listen to speeches expressive of
the regret of the community in the depart
ure OF Bishop John G. Keane late rector
OF the Catholic University of America.
The meeting was non-sectarian.. Its pro-
ceedings partook more of &, funeral char
acter than in the eulogy of one living; in
this it was the most unique gathering ever
held here.
Associate Justice Morris of the supreme
court of the District OF Columbia and a
leading Catholic presided. About him
Of the city, Rev. DIR. Rankin, president
OF Howard university; Rev DR.. Whitman.
president of Columbia college; Professor
Gallaulet Of the government asylum for
the deaf and dumb; General r. NJ. Vim
cent, T.. S. A: General II. W. Greeley
U. S. A: Pension Commissioner Murphy
Commissioner Truesdel of the district
President Maurice OF Rock Hill college
and others.
Mr.. Justice Morris gave the key to all
addresses when he said that they had as
semibled to testify their appreciation Of
the character of Bishop Keane and for
no other purpose
The resolutions adopted testified to the
universal esteem and regard for Bishop
Keane held by the citizens of this dis
trict; express profound regret at his ter
mination with the university and other
wise warmly culogistic.
The series of addresses on the occasion
was closed by Rev. DR.. Stafford the e1o-
quent priest and orator, who was un-
stinted in his praise of the retired bishop.

ARREsuaNG THE WOMEN.
Latest Scheme Adopted by the SPAN
iards-Charsed with Being Sus-
poets.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A dispatch to.
the Herald from Havana via Jackson
vile says:
The arrest of respectfully connected
Cuban women as political suspects or
rebel spies is becoming frequent in
Sagua. Lagrande, Sancto, Puerto Prin-
cipe, BayamO and Santiago De Cuba.
In Havana a Well-known Cuban au-
thoress and verse writer, Sonora Azure
liza Gonzales Del Castillo, suspected of
sympathy with the insurgents, was
yesterday called to the palace and per-
sonally warned by Captain-GeneraI
Weyler to leave the island at once. A
letter of coincidence written by this
woman to a New York friend of the
late rebel chief, Zayas, upon the lat
ter's death, was intercepted by the
Spanish DostOffce officials here and
turned over to the captain-general. in
Cienfuegos, Senorita FlOrinda Valdez,
a leading Cuban society belle, is under
military arrest.
A correspondent at Matanzas says
that when the insurgents lately raided
the town of Anarillas they looted all
the stores and many private residences,
thus obtaining enough booty to load
eighty pack mules; and as a climax
the chief of the raiders kidnapped the
daughter of Spanish shopkeeper and
town councilman. Other women of the
place, it is alleged by resident Span
iards, were assaulted by insurgent pri-
Yates. Most of the rebel force was
composed of negroes or Cinnamon.
Their leader was q white man.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-09

TINS morning was tame, but the feel
ing was rather nervous one. The
opening was lower by Il of a cent
than the closing of yesterday, the prin-
cipal considerations responsible for the
easiness being a decline in prices at
Liverpool and Berlin, and a rather de-
pressed condition of the stock market.
Offerings were not heavy, however, and
the slight loss was regained in a short
time.
The Cincinnati Price Current sum-
mary reported encouraging crop con-
ditions for the past week. Export
December wheat opened from 671a to
673s, sold between 673s@67A and 691s,
closing at 6S5s @6S94, 1c higher than
yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-
morrow, 800 cars.
Observation-Disclosures Improvement in
the hog market was beneficial TO pro-
duct. There was a fairly good business
transacted at better prices than have
recently ruled. January pork closed sc
higher; January lard, 21a higher; Jan
uary ribs, 5@71a higher.
Closing prices:

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The Journal
says; Private communications from
Havana. Cuba, announce that two at
tempts were made to assassinate Cap
tain General Weyler less than two
weeks ago. That both attempts failed
was due to accident The first attempt
was made on the evening of September
20, when the captain-general ordered a.
cup OF chocolate. A girl named Mer-
cedes brought him one containing a
quantity of dynamite put up in the
shape OF an egg. The chocolate merely
covered the top OF the bomb The pro-
gramTne provided for the girl to dash
the cup on the floor at his feet. in
which 1T was calculated an explosion
would follow sufficient not only to blow
Doth Weyler and the girl into q thou
sand fragments, but also to wreck the
palace. The girl, however, allowed the
cup to fall from her hands instead Of
dashing it down with force. and there
was not sufficient conclusion to cause
an explosion.
There were twenty arrests as a result
OF this attempt, and number of sus-
pected ones fled to Hayti in order to
evade prosecution.
The girl was an innocent party to the
transaction, having been led to believe
that the cup contained poison, and by
dropping it she would save the cap.
tain generals life.
The second attempt was made, the
communication says, two nights later.
when a dynamite bomb was placed in
the mattress on which the captain gen

thread-like wires, which communicated
