he sighted the steamer Alice Blanchard
about thirty miles south of Juneau, flying
a distres signal. He ran alongside and
was informed that the Blanchard had col
lded with an iceberg while running at

no injury beyond a slight straining of
her seams. She proceeded TO Juneau.
The steamer Humboldt, which arrived
today. brings eleven passengers from
Dawson and about $20o,00O in gold and
drafts.
The men carried about SEQ coo in gold,

CHINESE BABY PRIZE SHOW.
6omber-Eyed Celestial Infants tx
hibitcl In Frisco.

San Francisco. Cal, March 10.-The
first Chinese baby show ever held was
one of the recent attractions of the
Mining Fair. Two hundred Oriental
babies were on show and they behaved
every one of them like Mandarins.
The children were bright and clean
and smiling. and neat as new pins.
No detail of the toilet had been forgot
ten. From embroidered slipper to shay
en- poll, they were arrayed in their best.
There were satin blouses that shone in
the sun with a silvery simmer. There
were embroideries of wonderful birds
or sea.
The little boys were shaver and the
little girls had their hair stiffened and
polished and dressed as though for the
grandest function, with little bird cages
and fringes of beads and paper flowers
atop. There was a great tinkling of
metal and much shining of green jade.
A new fashion in infant headgear
showed a halo of stiff pompons that
rise above the infants somber eyes.
Others wore huge rosettes of silk on
each temple, like a joss, and one little
girl had a name of black silk cue-strings
hanging down from the back of her
head. Even the baby compilations had
been looked after. On the smooth, yell
low cheeks appeared the most lovely
patch of pink rouge, put on quite frank
ly in the Chinese fashion. The rosebud
mouths were touched up and the mar
row brows beautifully penclled. No
wonder the children looked pretty. like
a rosebud garden or a flock OF gayest
butterflies.
Never were children so self-posseSsed
or so oblivious to scrutiny. 1t was only
when the prize-winners were lifted to
the platform by stranger arms that the
stoioism of the Oriental dropped away
as mantle and the fright of a child
took its place. All on. who took the
prize as the handsomest boy, appeared
to the spectators under somewhat UNI
favorable circumstances. When lifted
from his mothers arms he wept pite-
ously. BY the time he was on the plat
form he was shrieking. All this time
the child was kicking like a pollywog,
and his shoes threatened TO fly into
space any moment.
Joseph Fong, who took second prize,
a little boy with straight black bang
and a skull-cap like a Turk. was also
lachrymose, but An Hing q handsome
lad, who looked like a mandarin in his
sleeveless satin jacket of ralest blue
and oldest gold, was sedate and grave
he stood on the stage and calmly
returned the gaze of the audience.
Meanwhile All Kings proud father
stood below, trembling with delight be-
cause the little lad, with his fine head
and open ccuntenance had taken a
prize.
The little girls were ACCOMPANIED by
their mothers, and stood ;he rieal
better.

also asserts that he does not see in this
course of action anything which should

AN INTERNATIONAL. WEDDING.
Miss Garner, of New York, and a
Danish Count Are Married

Danish Count Are Married.
Pau, March 10.-The marriage of Count
Leon Won Moltke Huitfeldt, a son of the
former Danish minister to France, to
Miss Edith Garner, a daughter of the
late William Garner of New York, and
younger sister of the Marquise de Bre-
teuil and Lady Gordon Cummings, was
solemnized yesterday at Christ Church
Mr.. Frank Lawrence and the Marquis de
Breteuil were the witnesses for the bride
and Count Seebach and Count Won Moltke,
uncle and brother of the bridegroom, act
ed for him. Miss Garner was given away
by her uncle. Mr.. +. G. Lawrence.
The church was handsomely decorated
with flowers and evergreens and was filled
to its entire capacity. Messrs. Morris, AL
fred de Lassence, F. Lawrence, jr, and
Eustace Barron acter as ushers. The
bride looked charming in white satin
trimmed with point lace. She wore a
long lace veil reaching to the end of the
train, and a wreath of orange blossoms,
but no jewels. The bridegroom wore his
uniform as an officer In the Danish navy
An attractive idea was the passing
around of wedding faVors before leaving
the church to all who received invitations
by quartet of very pretty young ladies,
the Misses Morris, Kane, Foster, Bar
ham, and Mr.. Potter. After the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Potter gave at their resi-
dence in the Rue de Lycee a wedding
breakfast of two hundred covers, which
was smoothly served in the large draw
ing rooms and adjoining conservatory.

THURSDAY. MARCH 10, 1895.
The NpMr of the DaY.

Further light is shed this morning up
on the shrewd attempt Of Great Britain
TO secure an alliance with this country
against Russia. Under the guise Of
sympathetic message from Queen Nicto-
ria. expressing that excellent old lady's
ardent hope that peace may be preserved
between America and Spain, a general
proposition Of common action has been
presented to Mr.. Mckinley by Sir Julian
Pauncefote. IL amounts TO this. that II
we will Join with England and Japan 10
oppose Russia in China. the British gov
eminent will exert its influence TO pre-
vent Spain from getting warships OF
money, or active European sympathy. Ii
is bait which the Administration viii
be very apt to swallow. along with the
hook, bob and sinker" attached. Not
fippantly or carelessly. because the
scheme covers great deal more than
appears upon its face, and this is no news

Cook.

New York. March l0.-Dr. Herman NJ.
Biggs. pathologist and director % the
Health Departments meteorological bu-
reau, yesterday sent a report to Sanitary
Superintendent Roberts, recommending
the adoption Of the Pasteur system OF
treatment for rabies by the Health De
partment. The report reads that the
system has been carefully investigated
both here and in Paris, by representa-
tives Of the health board, and where
the system has been used the de-
crease in the death rate from rabies has
been marked.
There is now no place where the very
poor can be treated for rabies. and for
this reason. especially the adoption Of
the system is recommended. DR.. Iiggs
in his report says:
THE bodies Of four dogs brought To
the laboratories of the Department II
Health within the last year were proven
by the results of innoculating rabbits to
have had undoubted rabies. Three OF
these animals had bitten one or more
human beings.

Katsenberg was a travelling salesman

The report Of the Board of Inquiry into
the massacre I'm Havana harbor has been
almost entirely discounted by outside evil
dence. Of a character so conclusive and
damnatory. that even the most abject
apologists for Spain have been startled
out of their accident theory. to advance
which now would expose any man TO a
serious question Of his sanity. Investi-
cations conducted by expert divers show
that the explosion was entirely external
and Of force sufficient not only TO drive
the ships keel up through her deck, but
TO throw her heaviest guns some distance
clear Of the hull. They have been found
and their position in the mud mapped for
the Court. Independently Of the knowl-
edge gained on the scene Of the crime, it
has been proven beyond cayil. that the
Spanish authorities purchased gun cotton.

fifty miles of rubber-pro;ected wire

on that trip went without passengers. I'M

IL is very composite game which the
coalition Of European bankers is plav-
Ing under the skin of the British Lion.
Besides the bond deal, there is a deep
and definite purpose to work toward the
Isolation OF Russia. the one power in Eu-
rope not at the mercy of the pawnbrok-
ers, and the only one they fear. If the
traditional friendship between Uncle
Sam and the Gar could be once rupt-
ured, and the former could be tied by
the heels to a British compact. many
profitable things might become possible.
The heavy end Of the Spanish-Cuban
bond deal is in London, and the parties
In interest have simply a colossal stake
In the prosperity OF British commerce.

BLAZE IN A PARLOR CAR.
Not Serious, But 1t PRODUCED q
Lively Sensation.

Lively Sensation.
Ottawa, March 9.-There was hot time
In the sleeping-car Katahdin, which ran
between Ottawa and Montreal, in the
800" train of the Canadian Patifc Rail-
way last Sunday. The sleeper was more
than usually crowded, for besides a num-
Der of Montrealers and stray Ottawaite
were several members of theatrical
company which had just played "A Stran-
ger in New York. at the Canadian CAPT
tai. From the forward part of the car
suddenly came the cry of fire, followed by
the precipitous tumbling through the
aisle of man in pajamas giving the
alarm, and waking the affrighted passeu-
gers, who began TO pull on few clothes
over their night robes.
Pull the bell!ropei land stop the train"
yelled the man who Iprided himself on his
presence of mird in the face of danger,
Pull, why don't yOd?'
Some one made grab for the bell-rope,
but it came down with the pull. 1t was
burned through And still the train sped
on. There were orninous symptoms of
Mysteries in one of the staterooms. But
the wonderful self-command of the lead
ing lady was made APPARENT.

with even more emphasis, Girls, keep

no stop between here and Montreal, and
the bell-ropes broken. The front of the
car is in flames, and il is impossible to
get through into the next car. We are

The leading lady walked out on to the
rear platform to step off into a snow
bank. The porter was thus able at last
to say something and succeeded in per-
suading the passengers that the train
had stopped, and the fire was out and
that they might go back to bed again
If they wanted to, without extra charge.

losses were computed at some yards of

Nothing new has developed in the Chi
nese situation. The Russian minister still
remains al Pekin. although the time set
in the Russian ultimatum for China to
reply to the demand for possession Of
Port Arthur and Talienwan has expired
The reason he has not demanded his pass
ports is that the Tsung Ii Yamen has
begged for a respite sufficient TO allow
the Chinese representative at ST. Peters
with the Gar for withdrawal of his de-
mands. There does not appear to be
much prospect that the effort will be
successful,as the success and safety of the
Russian movement from Siberia TO the
Yellow Sea are assumed to depend upon
points named. What Great Britain NAV
finally do about it is yet very much in
the dark. 1t is certain that Lord Sails
bury's government is making war prepar-
atiOns on tremendous scale; but that
may not be inconsistent with determi-
nation to make a fresh surrender to Rus

degree Of encouragement she may get in
Washington on her proposition for al

Senator Chandler appears to be happy
in the thought that Mr.. Mckinley intends
TO make Cuba free" If Senator Proc
tor is correctly quoted, he is convinced
that freedom has been won already, and
that the Spaniards have nothing left TO
show for their former Jurisdiction over
the island but a few fortified seaports
from which they would be quickly driven,
if recognition by us of Cuban bellgeren-
cy once gave the patriot cause a legiti-
mate standing upon the water. The New
York World thinks that the President
prefers the recognition of independence to
that Of belligerency. This tends To ere
ate the suspicion that there win be a long.
stout string attached TO the recognition.
and that il viii consist Of a condition that
the Cubans. after winning their freedom,
must buy ii at a cost Of 00.000.O00, or
such a matter in order to provide $780,
G00.000 or $30o. eco. GO of plumber for the
syndicate bond sharks. Mere recognition
OF belligerency would insure the patriots
in the full possession of their country
within ninety days. and without the as
sumption Of dollar of Spanish debt.
What the independence" alternative
might compel them to, altogether depends
upon the terms Of the proposition TO be
offered by President Mckinley. What
they are likely to be is question Of
doubt and apprehension. Nothing would
please us better than to find that our
fears on the subject are groundless. be-
cause the American people will not toll
