New York.

Syracuse, N. Y, March 19.-There
were no religious services and no
clergyman at the funeral of Mrs.
Christian Piel in Woodland cemetery
here. Only a crowd of the friends of
the family, which is a prominent one
among the Germans and the members
of the Arrbeiter Liedertafel, a musical
society of which the Piels were mem
bers.
At the grave the husband stood with
his six motherless children, ranging
from one and one-half to twelve years
old, and William Mirbach, Mr.. PieTs
most intimate friend, spoke eulogy
on the character of the deceased wife
and mother. Then the father, with the
baby in his arms, turning to the as
sembled group with uplifted hand and
barred head, in broken German uttered
the following remarkable pledge:

a box car, the factory of Stule & Co.,
pickle manufacturers, five rooming

American Car and Foundry Co. were
injured but not seriously. The
burned district embraced two square
blocks, bounded by Zepp. Utah, First

St. Petersburg, March 19.-Students
organized yesterday what was lntenu-
ed to be an imposing demonstration III
front of the cathedral of Our Lady OF
Kazn. the occasion being the anniyer-
sarv of the death of Vetrora, the g1rl
who committed suicide some years
ago in the dungeon of a political prls-
on in the fortress of st. Peter and St.
Paul in order to escape Infamous pro-
secutions. Immense crowds assembled
on Nevskoi prospekt, the principal
street of the city, and adjacent thor
oughfares. Military in even greater
number occupied the district and
closed the entrances of all houses and
shops. They patrolled the streets
time after time and cleared the pave
ments, making many arrests, 1nclud-
ing teachers and pupils OF a h1ghe1
grade girls school. Several OF these
young women resisted arrest. A dem
onstration was held, but owing to the
presence of troops it was rather q
mild affair, although ror time ser
ious consequences seemed likely to
follow the brutality of the cossacks IL
driving back the people with whips.
A number of students who recently
protested against the ex-communica-
ton of Count Tolstoi assembled inside
of the cathedral and began smoking,
shooting and throwing things at the
holy images and whistling while the
sacred elements were being prepared
for the sacrament. Thereupon the
congregation began to thrust the dis
turbers outside and a general fight
ensued. One of the cathedral BAN
ners was seized by the students who
used it in fighting outside of the
cathedral where proclamations were
thrown among the crowd containing
such phrases as Long Live Liberty
and Free Government! Down with
the Carl" Down with Rotten Off
cials!" etc. Finally the students I'M
furled the red flag and an attempt by
police to seize it was the signal for a
general fight.

WILL NEED NEW BIDS.
Contract for Building Cruiser MiIwau-

Contract for Building Cruiser MilWau-
kee Not Yet Let.
Washington, March 19.-The bids
for the building of the protected
cruiser Milwaukee will be called for a
second time. Announcement was made
some time ago that the contract for
the bu ilding of, this ship had been let
to the Neafie & Levy Ship and Engine
company of Philadelphia, but this was
a mistake, this firm being awarded the
contract for the building of the cruiser
ST. Louis of the same class.
After the bids for the three cruisers
of this class had been received, the
firm that was entitled to the contract
for building the Milwaukee had failed
to comply with the all the require
ments. The readvertising for bids
will make the completion and the COM
missioning of the Milwaukee some
what later than that of the two sister
ships, the st. Louis and Charleston.

THINK DEWET INSANE.

Unhinaed His Mind.

Believed His Terrible Exposures Have
Unhinged His Mind.
I Bloemfontein, March 16.-Prisoners
who have lately been released by De-
wet say they think he is mailman.
They aver the terrible fatigues he has
undergone and the anxieties and in
tensity of his feelings have un-
hinged his mind. Apart from this
view of Dewet's mental state, some
of his peculiarities are that he rarely
sleeps within sounds of his camp. He
seeks his rest outside with few
trusted followers. Thus the Orderlies
of his subordinate commanders are
frequently unable to find him and re-
ceive orders. His secrecy is extreme.
He absolutely imparts his plans to no
one. Dewet repudiates the peace ne
gotiations which are going on. He
has declared openly to the men under
his command that no terms accepted
except independence will be satisfac-
tory. A recent utterance attributed
to Dewet is that after the British he
hated the Transvaalers. The where
abouts of Dewet during the last two or
three weeks have been unknown. nor
is it known whether Steyn is with
him.

London. March 19.-On the highest
official authority it is announced that
the difficulty at Tientsin between the
Russians and British over the con-
struction of railroad siding in terri
tory claimed by both, will probably be
solved by the withdrawal of both the
British and Russian troops from the
ground in dispute.
Russia Abandons Claims.
London, March 19.-Dr- Morrison,
wiring to The Tires from Pekin,
says:
Chinese officials say they have
been informed from st. Petersburg
that Russia abandons her claims to ex-
elusive rights in Mongolia and Turke-
stan and consents to modify the
stringency Of her control Of the civil
administration of Manchuria, agreeing
that the convention shall be published
as soon as it is signed in ST.. Peters
burg a fortnight hence.
'"This is the first check inflicted up
on Russian diplomacy in China since
Lord Salisbury was cajoled into the
withdrawal of the British troops from
Port Arthur, in 1898, and it cannot
fail profoundly to modify the situation
by convincing the Chinese that there
still exist international combinations
capable of maintaining the equilibrium
Of the far est"
Communications from st Petersburg
are anxiously awaited. 1t is said in
London that the situation in China
causes anxiety in Downing street. The
Marquis of Lansdowne, the foreign
minister, and Lord Salisbury were in
frequent communication yesterday.
Hopeful View in London.
London, March l9.-There is dis
position here to think too much has
been made of the Anglo-Russian Incl
dent at Tientsin and more hopeful
view of the affair is taken. This is
aided by the statement contained III
Dr.. Morrison's dispatch from Pekin.
which is taken to mean that the com
bined efforts of the interested powers
are having the effect of causing ST.
Petersburg to check any tendency to
undue aggressiveness on the part of
Russian representatives in China
The officials of the British foreign
office have not yet received official IL
formation of Russian alleged back
down in regard to the Manchuria
Turkestan and Mongolia and inquiries
on the subject are now being made at
st. Petersburg and Pekin.
On all sides it is officially and other
wise said that Great Britain has not
the slightest contemplation Of resort
to hostilities against Russia whatever
may be the outcome of the present
negotiations.
Pekin Railway Opened.
Pekin, March 19-The railroad be-
tween Pekin and Chansingou was
opened Saturday in the presence of
French and Belgian ministers.
Ministers Do Little Work.
Pekin, March 19.-Little was accom-
plished at yesterdays meeting of the
foreign ministers on account of the
delay of the various governments in
agreeing to the conclusions reached
in the matter of indemnity claims.

London, March 19.-In the house of
commons yesterday William Red
mond, Irish nationalist, gave notice
that he would take an early opportun-
ity Of informing King Edward that he
had no earthly right to use the title OF
defender of the faith. The argument
came up on Mr.. Redmond's question
as to whether the title would appear
on the new coins and if so, what par
ticular faith was meant. The chancel-
lor Of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, replied that so long as
the kings titles remained unaltered
they would appear on the coins. Then
Mr.. Redmond protested and was
called to order.
