March 3, 1878, was signed the treaty OF
peace that terminated the Russo-Turk-

soldiers who fell in that conflict. The
unveiling was accompanied with much
ceremony and a military parade, at
which representatives of all the Balkan
states were present.
Early in the day requiem was held
at the Russian chapel there in mem

The Turkish newspapers are excess

SENIOR MONTE RIOS Wall.
An Interview with NJ. De Blowitz,
the Paris Correspondent of
the London Times.
A PAINFUL MISSION is FULFILLED.
The spaniarcs Knew They Had TO Deal
with an lmplacabie Conqueror-The
Americans Have Acted as .syainqueures
Paryues." but May Yet Know What it La
to Suffer Defeat.

London, Dec 1S.-The following is
an extract from the interview between
Senior Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish peace commission, and M. De-
Blowitz, the Paris correspondent OF
the London Times, published in that
paper. Senior Montero Rios is quoted as
saying:
A MISSION FULFILLED.
eve have fulfilled here very pain
full mission in which it is impossible
to dream of looking forward with any
satisfaction, but that of doing our
duty. We depart without other con-
so:ation than the exclamation: Tout
est perdu hors ihonneur.' (All is lost
save honor.)
"We knew in advance that we
should have to deal with an implaca-
BILE conquerer, who would in no way
coaeern himself with any pre-existing
international law, but whose sole OBJ
iect was to reap from victory the larg-
est possible advantage. This concep-
ton of international law is absolutely
new. 1t is no longer a case of might
against right, but of might without
right. AS for us, we had only to pro-
tect ourselves against the abasement
which it was desired to inf1ict upon US
and to prove, in spite of our blunders
and mistakes, that we had not COM
promised the proverbial loyalty to the
Castilian fatherland.
MISFORTUNE HAS GRANDEUR.
Misfortune afaO has grandeur. The
Americans have acted as 'Vainqueures
parvues' Cup start conquerers.) They
do not yet know the misfortune of de-
feat, but there are things which the
most fortunate nations can not es.
cape later on-when they, too, will
have had reverses-when they will
have become homogeneous and are no
longer obliged to satisfy the exigen-
cies of political parties, they, too, will
form, like all other nations with
past, code of international rights
and duties and be less inf1exible to-
wards those who have suffered defeat.
They will better understand that a
strict observance of conditions agreed
to, even in the thick of a fight, is
guarantee and protection for all con.
cerned, for the conquerer as well as
the vanquished."

KISSED TO A CONCLUSION.
A Worse Attack Than that Which Sank
the Merrimae Assails Lieut..
Hobson,

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Lieut. Richmond
Pearson Hobson was heavily bonn
barded by large fleet of kissing girls
at the Auditorium last night, but as
no distress signal washoisted after the
engagement, it is not believed that he
was seriously injured. Lieut.. Hobson
lectured on ''The Sinking of the Merri-
mac,'' under the auspices of the Chi
cago Press club, and after the lecture
the members of the audience pressed
forward for an impromptu reception.
There was much handshaling and ap-
plause, but more interesting than
either were 163 kisses given the Mer-
rimac's hero, by as many girls. The
lieutenant met the attack bravely, and
even seemed to encourage it. During
his brief stay in Chicago Lieut.. Hob
son was the guest of Gen. John Nc
Nulta at the Union League club.
After the lecture he left for Kansas
City, Mo-, where he will speak this
evening. Tuesday the distinguished
officer will face an audience in Denver,
whence he will proceed to San Fran
cisco, and sail for Manila December "a
on the City of Pekin.

ledges that ridge crosswise the long

and, looking backward down the slope,
saw two wolves break through the
underground of whortleberry bushes,
and had glimpses of others behinG
them.
Ny next look was for a tree that
could be climbed, and l was fortunate
in discovering one close at hand, low
branching one of more than two feet
in diameter at the base of the trunk,
which for ten feet up to the whorls of
sturdy green boughs bristled with
stubs of dead limbs that made con-
venient steps.
My gun was of German make, rigged
with a sling, which till now had al
ways thought useless appurtenance,
but in this emergency it proved quite
otherwise, when by singing the gun
over my back l got up, easily ard
quickly. None too quickly, for in two
minutes the leaders of the pack were
beneath me, and glaring up at me with
cruel, hungry eyes, having evidently
seen my ascent, for they were not al

Others came till there were seven III

A PERILOUS RESCUE.


New York, Dec. 19.-The British
steamer Pawnee, which arrived yester-
day from Mediterraneanp ports. brought
ten shipwrecked people. eight men
and two women, who were taken from
the disabled schooner Dear Hill, of St.
John, N. B., in mid-ocean. Capt.
Aikenhead reported that on the morn
ing of December he sighted the Deer
Hill in. evident distress and needing as
sistance. A heavy northwest gale was
blowing, and dangerous sea was run
ming. The schooner was seemingly un-
manageable, and the rudder disabled or
carried away. The Pawnee stood by,
and at p. m. succeeded in getting
towline aboard, which had been sent
by drifting small line to leeward.
The line parted, however, and boat
was launched in charge of the chief of
ficer, and sent to communicate with
the Deer Hill. The boat had nearly
succeeded in boarding the wreck when
an enormous sea struck and stove it,
and after great difficulty the crew sue
ceeded in getting on board the schoon-
cI, "ueTc tue.y WcTc ODllSSu w ISAiidih
all night. On the following morning
(9th) the weather had slightly moder-
ated, towline was sent on board
and the Pawnee towed the Deer Hill
toward Bermuda.
After towing about six hours the
line again parted. Finding that the
wind and sea were increasing when the
line parted it was found impossible to
get out another. The captain of the
Deer Hill signaled that he wished to
abandon the wreck, and requested the
Pawnee to stand by. The gale contin-
ued throughout the 9th, 10th and 18th,
the Pawnee keeping her position near
the wreck, but found it impossible to
use the boats to remove the unfortu-
nate people of the Deer Hill, owing to
the dangerous character of the seas.
Finally at z p. m. of the 18th the res
cue was effected, and the Deer Hill was
abandoned in latitude 35.45, longitude
52.49.
The rescued people are Capt. C. w.
Burns, Lousia Burns, his daughter,
Hazel Merritt, the owners daughter,
and seven of the crew of the Deer Hill.

The bullets were much too small for
the bore of my gun, therefore 1 put two
! in each barrel, with light charge of
shot, and descended to the lower
branch, where l seated myself upon the
one where could get the clearest view
of the ground.
The wolves greeted my reappear-
| ance with a chorus of savage yelps as
they gathered eagerly beneath me,
swapping and snarling, each struggling
for the nearest place that he might be
first at the expected feast. One grizzled
old fellow, the patriarch of the tribe,
who had curled himself up in the fallen
treetop, to bide my downfall, now had
his philosophical patience overcome
and limped forth from his lair, sneak
ing around the outskirts of the crowd
with his hungry eyes constantly upon
me. The largest and strongest of the
pack kept the position directly under
me, now springing upward more than
his length, then tumbling back upon
his mates that crowded beneath him,
now standing upright on his hinder
feet and paving the air and swapping
his fanged jaws viciously. While he
was in this posture / fired one barrel
straight into his mouth.
The recoil almost unseated me, but I
recovered myself with no greater mis-
hap than losing the toys out of my
pocket. The big wolf made no motion
hnt TO sink in hfeiess heap with the
back of his head blown out. The others
scattered a little, but presently re-
turned, shifting at their dead comrade
and tapping his blood. Poor Dolly got
a cruel bite from one that spoiled her
beauty forever. Another nosing jack
in-the-box unlocked the lid, whereup-
on the little imp filliped his snout, and
I could not help laughing at the fright
it gave the great cowardly brute.
fired the second barrel at the old
grandfather as he warily skulked past,
