who can be admitted to witness the coronation
Of a Gar is inconveniently limited. A religious
edifce more interesting in itself is the Voznes-
sensky or Ascension Convent. likewise in the
Kremlin, containing two churches. one used for
services in the winter and the other in the pleas
ant parts Of the year. We went there one Sun
day morning and found the church filled; and
on this occasion. contrary to the usual custom
In Russia, there were more women than men
among the worshippers. The convent possesses
an eikOn, or image OF the Virgin of Kazan, which
Is believed to be endowed with miraculous pow
ers that are exercised especially in the cases of
sick children. After the regular mass was
completed, a number OF women came up to the
officiating priest, each carrying a child In her
arms, and the priest, recitinG IA little prayer.
held up the eikon to be kissed by the child. or TO
be touched. This ceremony lasted fully half an
hour, and, as our party were standing watching
the little creatures, as, one after the other, they
were brought to the yenerated image, our inter-
prefer touched my elbow and pointed to
n large dignihed lady, perhaps 30 years
old, in monastic costume, who was COM
Ing toward us. accompanied by two young
nuns, from the other extremity Of the church.
THAT Is tho Lady Abbess." said he, land she
seems to .be coming to you" immediately she
arrived, and, holding out her hand, shook hands
with me and with the ladies of tho party, saying
in Russian: 1T 10 q great pleasure to SEQ
Americans. and / have come to tell you how glad
we are that you visit our church" She had
scarcely turned to 90 away when another lady.
also large and dignihed. and richly dressed in
black, but not wearing a bonnet, approached from
the other side OF the church. "Why," said the In.
terpreter. that is tho Grand Duchess! Sho
lives In the monastery" And, sure enough. she
had come on the same errand. She shook hands
with each one OF us in turn. and said that she
could not resist the impulse to express her graft
lcation at seeing Americans in Moscow. This
was most pleasant, and we received the spon-
taneous greetings of the distinguished ladies
with d deep patriotic satisfaction.

Photogra. as are abundant enough. but they are
all in bright and crude tones that make them
almost caricaturcs, and suggest nothing of the
amazing poetry which converts this church into
one OF the most original and beautiful buildings
that any architect has ever designed. There is
a legend that when IL was finished Ivan
the Terrible. who was then tho Car, put
out the eyes Of the architect. so that another
like it might never be built. This Is not
n true story. and one can take pleasure in dimin-
ishing the list OF ~cruolties attributed to Ivan;
but, considering the strangeness and the fas-
cination of the church, 1t would have been a
natural desire in him TO prevent the creation Of
another like IL.
Another sacred edihce which one cannot help
visiting, is the little Iverskaia. or Iberian chapel,
standing In tho middle OF the gateway and Of
the street at the entrance to tho lied Square,
near the northeast corner of the Kremlin. The
street here divides, with ample room for carriages
on either side. At tho open door of the chapel
there is always a crowd Of pious worshippers.

interest to the place is a copy of the Virgin of

Omcial Inquiry Reveals Dreadful brutality ia

the Treatment OF chinese.
HONOLULU, May II. via San Francisco.-Tho
Interior Department Is conducting an invcstiga-
ton Of the recent riots at Lihuo plantation In
Kauai. which promises TO reveal a sensational
state of affairs. The Chinese, complaining that
they were i'll treated. made n concerted attack
upon the ovcrsccrs and office employees of tho
plantation. using knives and hatchets. and In
the melee one of the Chinese was killed and
several were badly wounded. The inquiry shows
that affairs at Lihue, which is supposed to be
one Of the model sugar plantations. are in a de-
plorablc state 30 far as labor is concerned.
One member of the Immigration Board de-
clarcd that radical changes would have to be
made before any more contract laborers would
be allowed to go there. The report shows that
eighteen Chinese laborcrs wero forced to sleep
In a room II by II feet. From other sources
there are stories to the effect that Chinese labor
ers are driven to and from the fields by over
secrs on horseback, armed with long blacksnake
whips. The whips are laid freely across tho
bar6 shoulders Of stragglcrs, and the hands are
kept on n continuous trot going to and from tho
fields. Stories to the effect that the laborers

have fifteen minutes for breakfast at 3 o clock
and thirty minutes for lunch at II.
1t Ia claimed further that field hands who lag
behind in their work arc punished by being de-
prived o! their meals. The method employed to
keep all field hands up to n certain standard Is
said to be this. A good stout fellow is picked
out to lead the gang. He gets. perhaps, a few
moro pounds OF meat and broad each
