A RIG Find

NEW YORK, May 31.-According to
the Tribune's London correspondent
three pictures encrusted with Crime
were recently purchased in a curiosity
shop by thrifty husband and wife in
Cheshire, England, for Is shillings.
One of these when partially cleaned
for the adornment of their modest
dwelling proved to be the work of an
early Italian master; another was Co
rot and the third was a painting by an
early English master. Encouraged by
the knowledge that what they bought
for shillings was worth G100 the couple
returned to the obscure curiosity shop
and bought for e5 canvas blackened
with age, which was used as a fire
screen. This picture when cleaned
disclosed the name "Dei Pompa" in
one corner; and has been identified as
rare work of an Italian painter. The
Cheshire couple are now asking e25 00O
for the treasure trove, for which they
gave single e5 note.

LONDON, May 31.-The battle at

to close quarters and suffered heavily
is shown by the number of dead left
on the field.

Pretoria, May 30th, is as follows

James Spinney, aged Is years met
with a serious accident yesterday
afternoon about 6 o'clock at the corner
of Fort street and Fort lane.
The boy climbed a big mango tree
and was busy picking the fruit when
'he lost his balance and fell from the
limb The boy was fully 80 feet above
the ground when he fell and had his
body not struck against a lower limb
and the force Of -his fan been broken,
he would in all probability, have been
killed.
As it happened the boy struck on a
smaller limb in his descent. The second
limb broke but it checked the fa.l some

to the ground about Is feet lower. He
was unconscious when picked up. His
father found the little fellow and with
the assistance of Captain of Mounted
Police Fox placed the boy in a hack
and took him home i'm Christey lane.
DR.. Galbraith was summoned. 1t was
found that the boy had struck the
ground on his left shoulder. The liga-
ments about the neck and shoulder
were badly strained and the left collar
bone was dis4ocated. While these in
juries were very painful they were not
the most serious for the child evident

morning and found the patient resting

ALMOST A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO
SENATOR'S.

bone, Famed Him in the Breast.
Then the Row Was Pau.

Senator Russell called Senator Ka-
nuha a liar this morning and struck
him a light blow on the breast Ka-
nuha turned away and, after a few
moments, DR.. Russell turned around
and descended the stairs.
The scene was in the balcony Of the
Senate. 1he two men had met In the
Senate chamber and came out to
getner, discussing IN an excited man
ner the events of yesterday when It is
alleged kanuha called Cecil Brown
a liar Russell was upbraiding Kanuha
for not replying to Brown, Kanuha
having first explained that the word he
had used was "hoopunipuni" which
means false statement" and that IVA
hahee" meant liar"
On the Veranda DR.. Russell asked two
or three questions in regard to the mat
ter. His intent seemed to be to find
out why Kanuha had not the backbone
or courage to reply to Brown. He
finally said: Il believe you yourself are
the liar; you are a liar"
With that he struck Kanuha. At the
time DR.. Russell was mad to white heat.
Kanuha backed away and started to
re-enter the Senate chamber. Russell
wheeled around and walked down
stairs.
"Oh, he's Just mad because 1 did not
go after Cecil Brown yesterday" re-
piled Kanuha, in answer to a ques-
ton as to what the trouble was.

RUSSIAN RIOTS.

LONDON, May 31.-According to a
dispatch from -. Petersburg today it
appears that the conflict at Alexan-
drovsky, in the vicinity of ST. Peters
burg, between the strikers at the Obu-
choff Iron Works and the authorities
on May 2Oth, when about $500 rioters
attacked the police, has much more
serious results than were contained in
the police report of the affair issued
May 2lst. 1t was then said that after
IL of the police had been injured they
were reinforced by soldiers, who fired
three volleys, killing two men and
wounding seven. The relatives of the
strikers declare that forty OF the men
were killed, and $50 others wounded.
A reliable witness says he saw four
van loads of wounded persons covered
with blood, and another spectator de-
clares he saw two tug loads of wound
ed taken to the hospital

SYDNEY HAS QUARANTINED
AGAINST US.
SYDNEY
Moana Received Imperative Orders Not
To Touch This Port on Her Trip to
Sydney.

Evidently Sydney intends to regard
Honolulu as an infected port. This was
apparent by the conduct of the steam
ship Moana last night and today. She
came from Vancouver en- route to the
Colonies. In spite of the fact that the
vessel had a number of passengers
for this port and also had little freight
she was kept away from the dock ana
anchored in the stream from where she
took her departure for the Colonies.
This unusual action was the result of
special orders received from the sydney
office.
When the Ventura passed through
here the early part of the week she re-
lated an experience with the quaran-
tine officers, Which was not at first eX-
planned. She was kept in the stream
away from the dock for eight days. and
not until twenty-four hours before she
sailed was she permitted to go alongside
the dock. 1t was at first supposed that
this quarantine had been maintained
on account of San Francisco but this
action of the Moana proves this to
have been an incorrect surmise Small
poX has been prevalent in San Fran
cisco more or less for months past and
at one time the disease was very bad.
Naturally when the Ventura was kept
in quarantine the supposition was that
the sydney officials were taking pre-
cautions against the San Francisco
port. 1t now seems to be Honolulu
however.
Just before the Moana sailed from
Vancouver Captain Carey received po-
sitive orders to keep away from Homo
lulu He was not to touch at the dock
or do anything which would lead the
vessel to be quarantined at sydney.
This order was received from the Sgd
ney Office
This means that instead of San Fran
cisco being regarded as an infected
port the Sydney officials intend TO place
Honolulu in that category Upon what
grounds is not clear 1t may be that
the single case of plague which occur
red about a month ago here was select
ed as the basis for acting as if this
were an infected port To maintain
such a strict quarantine as they seem
to be doing is ridiculous. Nothing Of
fetal has as yet been received here
from the Sydney people however. 1t is
possible that they also intend to re-
gard San francisco as an infected port.
The fact that the Moana is not from
San Francisco and that the quarantine
is evidently in force against Honolulu
leads to but one conclusion and this is
that Honolulu has, in the eyes of the
Sydney quarantine people, the plague
or some infectious disease.
