1cal Society of America, which met IN
annual convention here today, cele-
brated the close of the Kaliyuga
(Which, according to the Asiatic phi
losophy followed by the theosophists.
was the fourth cycle of 5000 years each
OF human progress) by complete
change of government. Autonomy was
oVerthrown, and an. autocracy was
established, with Mrs. Katharine A.
Iingley as the spiritual head
Theosophy, as name, was given a
subordinate place, and the Interna-
tonal Brotherhood league was the new
title with which the movement was
christened. An active crusade will be
inaugurated, for the purpose of inter
esting the common people in the cult.
The theosophical society will be con-
t1nued, but only as literary auxiliary
of the league.

of which Mrs. Tingley has been the
head, viii practically direct the desti-
MES of the whole movement Spiritual
power, absolute and unconditional, is
now vested in Mrs. Tingley, and, as

He Knows All About the Cause OF
the Explosion the
Maine.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The Herald
tomorrow will say: Lieut.. J. G.. Sobrai,
naval attache of the Spanish legation
at Washington. was In this city yes
terday actively cooperating with the
authorities in preparing for insuring
the safety of the Spanish battleship
ViZcaya during her stay in this port
Lieut. Sobrai was asked for his opin-
ion as to the cause of the explosion Of
the Maine. His reply was: "I know
the cause Of the explosion, but I can
not divulge it."
He was pressed for further informa-
tion on this point. and he finally re-
Piled:
'It was the result of an explosion
inside the ship, which took place in
one of the forward magazines. The
fact Of the matter is that the discipline
and the watch observed on the ship
were very lax. These sort of things
have occurred on previous occasions on
American war vessels"

TO LYNCH ZOLA
SIM mouIdering Anti-semitic Spark
BIazes Up, and Only With Great
Difficulty Kept Under Control
Esterhazy ON the Stand, but Moth
Ing of Importance Brought Out.

PARIS, Feb. 1s.-There were riotous
proceedings after the adjournment of
theasSiZes court today, and NJ Zola
narrowly escaped being lynched by the
mob outside.
On leaving the court, all the officers
were acclaimed by the crowd outside
the building, and Gen. Pellieux, VINO
descended the steps bareheaded, was
given great reception. Maj Ester
hazy was greeted with shouts of "Vive
Parmee."
The police were powerless to manage
the immense crowds, and several Jews
were the object of insults and menaces
There was general fight. The mob
threw itself upon the Jews, yelling
Death Of the Jews" Throw the Jews
into the Seine"
Finally the republican guards were
obliged to charge the rioters and clear
ed the square. The crowd fell back
cheering for the army, and singing the
Marseillaise and shouting Spit upon
Zola."
M. Zola left at $50 p. m. and imme-
diately after he had emerged from the
building, he was greeted with storm
of Kisses and derisive cries, and the
authorities were obliged 70 protect his
carriage with a double Gordon of police
On reaching the st. Michael bridge,
the mob made a murderous rush for the
carriage, but the police threw themsel-
YES between the vehi1Se and the mob,
and a series of miniature battles en-
sued.
Ultimately the police drove the mob
hack, and NJ. Zola was enabled to pro-
ceed.

all those who were taken into custody
were released later in the day.
