A Glimpse of Gotham's Chinatown.

Doyors street Us seen from Chatham
square station was decidedly damp and
gloomy. Few Cinnamon were abroad and
those that were wore sonlber, rainy day
clothes. A negro boy came from behind
the anglo in the lower side of tho street
md stood in front of the first two gray
wooden houses on tho upper side and
whistlcd, a window was raised and a
tiny little girl with bright golden curls
leaned out and cianped her hands. Tho
negro boy pulled MI nipple from bis pocket
and tossed 1t up u the child. Once, twice
The missed it and laughed. A Chinaman
ftopped and locked up. On tho third trial
tho apple went intn:he window. The child
disappeared The window was closed
Tho negro boy went back across the
street. Doyers street, which tor time had
been frightened by the golden curls, again
became dusky like the SPIDERS web when
the butterfly has got free Of its meshes.--

audiences all over the world. fell dead
yesterday afternoon at the Orpheum
theater. in this city. It was Remenyi's
first appearance on the vaudeville
stage. As the artist appeared and was
greeted with tumultuous applause he
bowed his acknowledgment and seemed
immensely pleased at the reception
given him. He had played two or three
classical pieces and had answered to
an encore with the most familiar "Old
Glory" Remenyi played as If in

Remenyi approached his climax, liter
ally rose with him, leaving their seats
In their excitement. completely carried
away by his achievement.
When the music ceased the house
was swept with a torrent of braves.
The applause was almost deafening,
and continued for several minutes.
Remenyi and his accompanies, p. s.
ROsner, came forward, and in the re-
Spouse to another burst of applause
Remenyi commenced to play "Delibes
Pizzicati." He had just COMPLETED a
few bars of the difficult lingering when
he leaned forward, as If to speak to
one of the musicians In the orchestra,
continuing his piece. He seemed to
pause for moment and then slowly
fell forward on his face. Ore of the
musicians caught him just before he
touched the stage, and prevented him
from rolling off. He was carried from
the stage and physicians were immedi-
ately summoned, but the aged musi-
clan was past medical aid. The doctors
worked upon him for some time, but
their efforts were futile.

The LIbetation of the Cubans.

War was declared over month ago by
cur Government for the purpose of put.
ting an end to the cruelties inflicted by
Spain on the Cubans, but thus far but lit
tie change hes been made in the condition
of the people. 1t is true that the island
Has been blockaded, but neither food, arms,
ammunition or men have been landed,
and the suffering Of the poor reconcentra-
does still goes on. From this 1t seems that
our chief aim or purpose has been lost
sight of, or the difficulties to overcome are
deemed insurmountable The Cubans
may well complain of our inability to
succor them, or lack of purpose to do so
until they have been starved to death or
murdered by the Spanish soldiers Some
hDdy must certainly have blundered terri
Wy, or more progress would have been
made towards putting an end to the cruel
tbs and suffering which continue to exist.
After liberating Cuba from Spanish rule,
attention could be given to Porto Rico.
the Philippine Islands and other places
including Madrid, if Spain should persist
in prosecuting tho war, 1t IL evident the
only thing to do Is to either take Cuba or
crush the Spanish fleet, and then we may
hope for speedy ending of the war.

Senators and the War Revenue Bill.

Washington, May 16.-The war rev.
enue bill will occupy the attention of
the senate this week almost to the ex-
clusion of other business, and there is
no probability that the bill can be dis
posed of during the week. The indica-
tionS now are for a two weeks debate,
and there Is no assurance that 1t will
be concluded within that period of
time. The principal portion of the de-
bate will be on the report of the Re-
publican members of the committee in
favor of restoring the bond provision.
The probabilities are that this PROPOSE
ton will prevail II the war continues.
