RosENTHAL TO LEAVE.
The Noted Pianist's High Opinion of
San Francisco's Taste.

Moritz Rosenthal, pianist, viii shortly
saw farewell to San Francisco. 1t Is not
because he does not like San francisco
or that he will not return, but because
he is going to make his concert tours IN
Furope for several years to come, and If
no returns TO the United States he does
not no contemplate making an extended tour.
Rosenthai has no mannerisms ana no
affectation. He is popular with women,
but he does not play to them or flatter
them Rosenthal is n great walker and
he can sprint a hundred yards in good
shape. He doesn't like anything better
than to box or work out In gymnasium y a,
and If he dared to risk hurting his hands
he would have the gloves on every day.
He is so strong that he can hit the keys
Of a piano pretty hard If he chooses, and
there are times when he commits aggra-
Vated assaults and battery on the instru-

almost certain that the chest containing
$25 600 in gold lost from the steamship
Alameda was taken from the ship at this

that such was the case. The man who Is

RuSSIA'S NAVAL PROPOSAL.
London Correspondents View Of the
situasion az The Hague

London. June 2s.-The correspondent ot
the Times at The Hague says:
Following IL the sexr Of Ruszia's naval
proposal:
" 'Acceptstion OF the principls thar for
the term OF three years the sun OF ths
naval budget shall be deterrnins3 Win
an engagement not TO Increase the total
during that triennlsl period. and with IN
Obligation Of announcing In advaues Tor

Of those ships Of var which Il IL proposed
TO build, without specifying ths models
thereof; second. the number OF officers
and crews In the navy. and third, the
expenditure or works IN ports, such as
forts. docks. arsenaIs, and the lIke.
'.The question OF the exemption OF pri-
vate property AT sea from capture in
time OF war has entered g new stage,
through the issue OF the statement OF the
American delegates. ! hear on good au-
thority that a certain foreign power may
extend the discussion 10 the declaration
Of Paris, with view Of getting rid OF
one feature which 10 nc; considered ad-
Yantageous.
The first half Of the voluminous paper
Is merely a summary OF past action On
the part of the United States in the mat
ter. The proposal itself follows:
Private property Of all the citizens or
subjects Of the signatory power, with the
exception Of contraband of war. shall be
exempt from capture or seizure on the
high seas or elsewhere by The armed yes-
sells or By the military forces of any of .he'
said signatory powers, but nothing her5in
contained shall extend the exemption
from seizure to vessels and their cargoeS
which may attempt TO enter port block
AIDED by the naval forces OF any of said
powers
Tho American delegates, referring to
the fact that the circular OF Count Mura-
vief excludes extraneous matters, say:
- The fact of our having received the
instructions herein referred 10 from the
President Of the United States shows that
our government believed the scope of the
conference wHie enough to include this
question:
They urge as an argument that their
proposal, if adopted as rule or war,
would ameliorate the hardshfps of naval
warfare, but IL has been conclusiVely
proved by experience in past wars that
the destruction OF sea-Dorne commerce Is
one of the most humane ways Of redue-
ing the power OF an enemy. AS great
thinker once observed. IL is better 10 de-
stroy mems property than their lives
For the moment the question is wheth-
er the subject is one which can, consist
emily with the terms of the Muravieff cirS
cular, be submitted to the conference. II
seems scarcely probable that the matter
will be solved in a sense favorable 10 the
American proposal At all events, some OF
the leading delegates consider It outside
the competency of the conference arbitra-
tion. provided the obligatory clauses are
expunged.

CAVALRY DISPERSED NEGROES.
Trouble Expected Between Blacks and
Whites in Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, June 26.-TWo armed
bodies of men are holding determined
vigil near Cardiff, in this county, to-
night. One body is composed of white
men, officers of the county, and the other
of negroes.
Early this morning it was reported that
John Shepard, the negro who assaulted
Mrs. Monroe Jones near Corona last
Wednesday, had been seen in that vicin-
ity. Officers Immediately set out 10 cap
ture him. The news spread and negroes
began arming themselves, securing Win
chester rifles as though by magic
They cOngregated at BroOkside, two
miles from Cardiff, until there were fully
two hundred of them. The negroes said
their only purpose was TO prevent vio-
lence being done TO Shepard. Two special
trains from this city with deputies and
detachment of cavalry went out this af-
teTnOon. The negroes were dispersed but
the rapist was not captured.
Tonight the Sheriff of Walker County
has Joined the posse from here and The
search is being continued. The blacks are
angry. and many citizens expect further
trouble. Ever since the race riots in that
vicinity year ago they have had arms

sort. and ride on deadhead pass with q

That's According.

We are I'm receipt OF a letter from
citizen of Ohio who wants TO know If it
will pay him to come out here and es-
tablish a chicken farm. That's according
TO the sort of ehieken-farm he has in his
minds eyes. If il is to be straight chick
ems and eggs. it won't pay. If he intends
to combine poker-room, a roiler-skating
rink, and an ice cream parlor with fowls
there is money in it, to the best of our
knowledge aad belief. 1t would not only
be a novelty, but business and pleasure
would be happily combined. Something.
however, depends on the man. There is
more or aess shooting connected with the
game of poker as run out here, and for
the first six weeks he'd have to dodge
around pretty lively among his skates and
ice cream. After he had got four or FIVE
men planted in his private graveyard
things would go on swimmingly, and he'd
make money We think it fair opening
