PICTURED POSTCARDS.
They Are Slowly Coming Into Use in
England.

They Are Slowly Coming Into Use in
England.
Illustrated postcards are slowly
creeping into use in this country, but
enterprise and art have an opportun-
ity here of increasing and meeting
demand in this direction, says the Lon
don Telegraph. Postcards with repre-
sensations of interesting local scenes
have long been popular on the contis
nent with residents, and visitors readA,
~ fall into the fashion. Ornamental
postcards and envelopes are constantly
used by correspondents, and postcard
collecting abroad is quite as common
as stamp collecting was in this coun-
try some time ago. The cards are
fastened in an album, especially made
for the purpose, or artistically arrang-
ed in groups on walls and tables. Our
illustrated postcards will probably be
made varied as the tastes grow and
with art and technical schools on every
hand there is no reason why they
SHOULD not lead to the establishment
of u new department of industry.
There is certainly no more ready or
pleasing way by which friend can
give his correspondent an idea of his
surroundings. Many of the great pub
fishers are now issuing views OF Eng
fish cathedrals and other places of his
toric interest and not few pretty
landscapes Some hotels. too, are us
ing cards with views calculated to in
vite customers. But people in this
country generally use the plainest pa
per and postcards. On the continent
the sales of these interesting little
works of art are enormous. and it is
stated an attempt to get one better
will be made by enterprising manu-
facturers there who contemplate re-
producing works of the old masters in
miniature. Firms in London who are
connected with German publishers
say they sell vast number Of these
ornamental postcards abroad, and that
their customers greatly value them.

WASHINGTON, DC, May 27.-When
the sundry civil service bill. in SO Tar
as it affected forest reservations. was
being considered today, Senator Waite
insisted that mining should be allowed
within the reservation, subject to reiku-
lations by the interior department, and
also that persons owning land within,
such reservations should be permitted
to go and come from their property
without obstruction. The conference
committee acquiesced in these de-
mands in so far as the min
ing interests are concerned and also
with reference to actual settlers.
When the conference report, came up
today Senator White criticised the
phraseology employed, claiming that
while miners and settlers were protect
ed, owners of land who had purchased
from those who had obtained govern
ment patents, will be denied right to
cross reservations in order to. obtain
access to their property. Senator Al

vigorous debate the defects of the con-
ference report were practically con-
ceded. In view. however, of the large
amounts Of money involved in the bill
and the determination Of parties inter-
ested in the appropriations to force the
measure through, the report was adopt
ed, Notwithstanding the dissent OF most
of the western senators. All admitted,
however that much had been done to
soften the harsh features Of the forest
reservation laws, and Senator White
and others expressed themselves as sat-
isfied on the whole with the progress
made. No objection was urged to prop
er reservation, but the inhibition of
mining, the obstacles presented to en-
joyment of property already acquired
and the indiscriminate withdrawal Of
lands fitted only for mineral purposes
aroused unusual interest.

WILD FANATACISM
Russian Religious Enthusiasts Seek
Salvation by Martyrdom

LONDON, May 27-Details have been
received from Odessa Of the self-immo-
lation of number of fanatical followers
Of Raskolinke, report of which was
first received two weeks ago. More than
twenty-four bodies of persons who were
buried alive have been recovered from
a series of pits near Tirespol.
The sect is survival of the old Dis
senters, who were prosecuted in Russia
for two centuries. Their treatment was
worse under. Empress Sofia, when
thousands were knouted by the state
The result was that they became fiercely
fanatical and invented the doctrine of
salvation by martyrdom. They are now
practicing self-immolation.
Six bodies were accidentally discov-
cred on the premises of Veodore Kova-
left, who confessed that he had walled
up in his cellar nine living persons, in
cluding his wife and two children. He
further admitted that he had buried six
Others while they were still alive in a
specially excavated pit eight feet deep.
Kovaleff declares that all were volun-
tary victims. In an adjoining garden be-
longing to Matvei Sukula, four bodies
were discovered in a pit. Sukula says
they were buried alive at their own re-
quest.

THE CRAVEN CASE
A Famous Witness Says the Will Il
Forged

SAN FRANCISCO. May 27.-Another
famous expert, Daniel T. Ames, was
called upon by the plaintiffs in the An
gus-Craven case to testify as to the
handwriting upon the various docu-
ments already introduced today. In or
der to prove that the witness was quail
fed to testify in such matters 1t was
shown that he had been called upon TO
pass upon handwriting some twelve
hundred times in twenty-five states,
Canada, Paris and London, and that he
was the expert of the United States
courts in New York, New Jersey and the
District of Columbia After examining
the various exhibits in the case, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the alleged Fair
pencil will was forgery. He then pro-
ceeded to give his reasons for this opin-
ion, and the remainder of the days ses-
sion was consumed by the witness in de-
failing the various discrepancies which
he had discovered between the admitted
ly genuine writings and those in evil

MAKING MONEY
By Smuggling Liquor Across the
Alaskan Line

TACOMA, May 27.-Newe comes from
Alaska that liquor of doubtful quality
is being smuggled into the territory in
large quantities. The shipment of
liquor there is unlawful except where
special permits are granted, but many
saloons receive fresh consignments by
every steamer, though liquor ie never
entered on the steamers manifest. The
latest ruse for getting quantities of
whisky into the interior is to take it
through Alaska in bond for British ter
ritory beyond. Being prohibited there
bond is given British custome officers
to take it out in specified time. Means
are found for taking it across the line
into Alaska at some point not watched
by American officers.
1t is asserted that in this way 1900 gal
lone of high proof spirits were distribut-
ed among Yukon mining camps last sea-
son. BY diluting the quantity was in
creased to 2400 gallons, which sold for
$25 per gallon, netting profit to the
smugglers of $45,000. Similar, though
smaller shipments, are being made this
year.

YOUTHFUL MORALITY !
Demands That See1y's Dinner Be

NEW YORK, May 27.-It is likely
that the persons indicted for participa-

January, that was raided by Police Cap
tain Chapman, will not be tried. The
District Attorney, according to the Jour
nal, has about come to the conclusion
that the best interests of the commun-
ity demand that the details of the dinner
be allowed to remain buried instead Of
being brought out in court.
He has lately received numerous let
ters signed by prominent people urging
him, in the interest Of society, to allow
the indictments to remain where they
are. In this class are school principals
and teachers, who state that the pub
licity given the Seely dinner has dam

TARIFF TALK
Good Progress Made With the Pend
ing Bill


WASHINGTON, May 27.-(By the
Associated Press) Only the front
rows of the galleries of the senate
were occupied when the session opened
today.
The senate made good progress on the
tariff bill, disposing of about ten pages.
Several votes were taken, the finance
committee being sustained in each case
by majorities varying from six to fif-
teen. The drug schedule was under
discussion and the debate was largely
technical. Occasionally, however, it
branched off to general phases of the
tariff although at no time during the
day was there a speech of more than
five minutes duration.
The final conference report on the
Sundry Civil bill was taken up, an agree
ment having been made to vote at 2 p.
M The main questions involved in the
conference report related to the suspen-
sion until March l next of ex-President
Cleveland's proclamation embracing
large areas as forest reserves; making
Immediately available 50, ,933, 1893 for con-
tract work on the Mississippi river, and
$4,000 for the improvement of Pearl
harbor, Hawaii. The question of forest
reserves was discussed at length. Sem
ators from the States affected by the
forest order urged the rejection Of the
entire conference report and absolute
suspension of the Presidents order.
Senator Cannon of Utah referred to the
order as barbarous and inhuman.
Senator Stewart of Nevada character
lied it as disgrace to American civili-
zation and the worst outrage Of the last
