BERNHARDT IN LONDON.

London. June 1S.-Mme. Bernhardt, who is to appear in several of her ia vorite roles at the Adelphi theater here, produced her Hamlet" last night
 The audience was enthusiastic. but the critics are divided in their opinions as to the merits of the play as present ed.
 Some were disappointed. while oth- CTS, noting that an unconventional and purely Bernhardtian conception of the prince was given, consider that the production was wholly interesting and charming.
 Mme. Bernhardt represents Hamlet as humorous and gay. full of energy and readily provoked into violent dec lamation. In nowise cid she present him as the traditional moody Dane.

WAYS OF THE CHINESE
Inspector RouSh Made Nearly a
 Wafer Haul at Prescott.

Word has been received that Tn )m-
 as Roush, special agent of the treas
 ury department, who made a raid on
 the Chinese here, hunting for unlaw-
 full residents, was not successful in
 Prescott. The Celestials heard of his coming and he only captured two. Eff
 teen, of them working in placer 6ig- gings near there left one day before his arrival Mir Roush finds it neces- sary to assume different guises to pros
 ecute his work successfully While in Phoenix he went among the China men as a tax collector. He was intro duced by Officer Joe Porterie as the brother of Senator Freeze, whom he resembles. That being the case, the Celestials thought he must be a good fellow. In making assessments he claimed it was necessary to see ths 'chock gees or certificates Whether bogus or otherwise, the Chinaman has a "chock gee" To him it is almost as valuable as his queue, which every body knows ranks next to his life. The loss of 'tchock gee'' endangers his residence in the United States. Occa- sGonally John parts with the precious treasure. He sits in 2 poker game, of which only the American is more fond, and he carelessly loses his small change. He plays pig money and finally goes broke. If he is property owner he signs a deed to his belong ings and puts it up against the money If he loses and is greatly excited he can, on rare occasions, be persuaded to gamble his "chock geo. One of these certificates will command a good price
 Chinamen look great deal alike to inspectors. and their names cut little figure. They have many ways of ob- taining bogus certificates. They think nothing of transferring their picture to any "chock gee" they can get hold of. There are people in Mexico who encourage this practice and often Chinaman takes his 'chock gee" to China and his friend returns with it. So the inspector works under many difficulties. His greatest fear when he makes an arrest is that the Chinamap will be released on a habeas corpus.
 For this reason he is allowed to ex- ercise some of the powers of tribunal When he has a suspect he does not wait to take him to court, but places lhim under oath, and through an exam ination even more rigid than the test in court. Here is where the Bret Harte 'FHeathen Chinee'' makes his ap- pearartce. He can't talk English and an interpreter volunteers. The ques- tions are asked and the innocent ap- bearing Chinaman seems to answer candidly. But he is not answering at all. The interpreter is experienced in the business and he answers the ques- tions to suit himself He plots deeply to have the Chinaman eXonerated, for he knows that f he is deported the blame lies on him. He belongs to a company which holds him responsible

DEvERY AND THE PRIZE FIGHT
The Rev Dr. Paulson Would Like the
 Chief to Explain His Course

New York, June 18.-Before the fight between Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries at Coney Island Chief of Police William Devery made a state ment to the effect that he would in terfere in case of hard hitting and stop the fight. The fight went on to a fin ish without any police Interference, and yesterday the Rev. Dr. F. L. Paul son at the meeting of the Methodist ministers in the Methodist Book Con cern building had this to say about the matter:
 'I have read in the papers that Counsellor Moss declared that he did not intend to call Chief Devery before the Mazet committee to question him concerning his presence at the Coney Island prize fight. I feel that we should take action and adopt strong resolution requesting the legislative Investigating committee to summon the chief of police and ask that officer why he was at the fight and Gid not stop it.
 MT. Devery is high police official OI LulS CIIy WDOSe uuly IL IS IO see that the laws are enforced. The papers say that he was at this brutal exhibition and expressed his approval of it. It is high time that such action should, be condemned''
 Although the preachers meeting took no action upon the the sugges- ton, 1t is not improbable that at some future time the matter may come up for discussion

PINGREE NOT A CANDIDATE.
Wants to Show the Republicans That
 They Are Lost Without Him.

Detrcit, Mich, June 1S-The Free Press tomorrow will say:
 Governor Pingree will not be a candidate for office, either this year or next, according to a statement made today by one of his closest friends and advisers.
 t'It is seid that his family desire his retirement for social reasons, and also that the governor wishes to show the members of the present republican legislature and others that are said to be obstructing the course of his taxa tion legislative measures at Lansing that the republican party in Michigan and Wayne county cannot carry an election without the prestige of the Pingree name and his personal influ- ence. This afternoon, in conversation about the next election, he said: Well, I shall not be a candidate for office. You can bet on that"

SAFETY IN RUNAWAYS.

Sir Arthur Sul,ivaL $ exhibiting an invention+at Crystal palace by which he claims, safety from accident in case of runaway horses is secured. It IS an arrangement by which, on touching spring. the shafts are suddenly re- leased from the carriage so the horses can run away alone, leaving the car riage behind The duke of COnnaught, seeing the invention the other day, was greatly interested and asked Sir Arthur whether he had ever tried it with a runaway. He answered, No, but I have with a running horse. and it worked to perfection" The duke shock his head and asked: What is to become of the carriage going at full speed after the horses are released?" To which Sir Arthur replied: You are at least no worse off than before and probably much better off, as the car riage cannot run far and the brake can bring it to a Standstill quickly"

 War Battle Fields.

New York, June 18.-John Morris, a wealthy tinsm:th, doing business in Third avenue, near Twenty-eighth street, Brooklyn, has been missing from his home since May ?.

 MT Morris frequently visited Gettys- burg and other famous battle fields, and his family at first thought that his absence was due to one of these trips. As the days heightened into weeks and nothing was heard of the missing man all the hotels around Gettysburg were written to, but no one there knew any thing of MT. Morris
 When Waldron Brothers failed. some time ago, MT. Morris was a loser to the extent of between $1, 500 and s1,7OO. They are said to have gone to Canada. Some of MT. Morris's friends beTsve that he has gone there in pursuit Of theP.

 safe AS the train rolled through the
 East Rochester yards, however, the
 conductor thought he would see how
 his prisoner was behaving. Opening
 the door he saw one leg of the man. The rest of him was o-tside the win dow hanging downward Calling passenger the conductor grabbed the leg and held on until the depot was reached. The man rode all the way from Brighton hanging head down ward out of the window, making des- perate efforts to free himself, which would have meant a fall to certain death When they got into the central station, Brady put up hard fight to get away from the officers, who needed the assistance of the whole train crew to place the man under arrest.

SIX CENTS FOR A BOYS LIFE.
Charles B. Morris Sued New York Rail
 way Company for S25,0O0.

New York, June 1S.-A jury in the supreme court yesterday returned verdict for six cents in favor of Charles B. Morris against the Metropolitan Street Railway company. MT. Morris sued as administrator of the estate of his son Leslie. The boy was killed as the result of an accident which hap pensd last December, and MT. Morris asked $25, ,000 damages.
 On the night of the accident there was collision between one of the cars os the defendant company and the car riage of MT Morris. All of the occu- pants of the carriage were more or less hurt, but MT Morris's 17-year-old son Leslie was so badly injured that he died soon afterward.
 In defending the suit the company claimed that the coachman who was diving Mr. Morris's carriage was as much to blame for the collision as tn motorman. The jury deliberated for several hours

The conflict, which was thought to be irrecOncilable and was certainly inevitable, ended more than thirty years ago. It was fought to it's bloody conclusion by fearless and honest men. To some the result was icgical-tO others it was disappointing-to all it was final. As no man disputes it, let no man deplore it. Let us rather believe that it was needful tC make us a nation. Let us rather look upon it as into a mirror, seeing not the desolation of the past, but the radiance Of the future and in the heroes of the new north and the new south, who contested in generous rivalry up the fire-swept steeps of Fl Caney, and side by side re-embIazoned the national character in the waters about Corregidor island and under the walls of Cayite, let us behold hostages fer the old north and the old south blent together in union that knows neither point of the compass and has flung it's geography into the sea- Henry Watterson at Louisville, Ky.
