Fibbean Sea.

Washington, July 24.-Unusual in
surgent activity in the West Indies and
on the shores of the Caribbean sea are
taxing the resources of the navy depart
ment in the matter of ships to look
after American interests. A cablegram
received at the state department from
Minister Bowen at Caracas states that
the Marietta is proceeding to ascertain
the facts connected with the alleged
blockade by the Venezuelan govern
ment at its own port of Carupano. An
attack on Puerto Cabello, which is
about 20 miles west of the capital, is
expected by the government and the
president may go there from Barcelona
instead of to Caracas as he originally
intended. The three United States
warships on the Venezuelan coast are
kept moving with celebrity to put in an
appearance at the port where disturb
ances are threatened.
Meanwhile cry comes for a ship at
Hayti in the shape of cablegram from
Minister Livingstone at Cape Haytien
who reports THAT troops and Haytien
warships are approaching to attack and
lombard the cape. There is a good
deal of apprehension among the for
eigners for their safety.

CHAPTER II.

We met next day. as he had arrang.
cd, and inspected his rooms at No.
22iB Baker street, OF which he had
spoken ut our meeting.
They consisted OF couple of com.
Portable bedrooms and single, large.
airy sitting room. cheerfully furnished,
and Illuminated by two broad win.
dows.
So desirable In every way were the
apartments, and so moderate did the
terms seem when divided between us
that the bargain was concluded upon
the spot, and we at once entered into
possession.
That very evening | moved my
things round from the hotel, and on
the following morning Sherlock Holm
es followed me with several boxes and
portmanteaus.
For day or two we were buslly
employed In unpacking and laying out
our property to the best advantage.
That done, we gradually began TO set.
tie down and to accommodate our.
selves to our new surroundings.
Holmes was certainly not q difficult
man to live with. He was quiet in his
ways, and his habits we're regular,
II was rare for him to be up after
ten at night, and he had invariably
breakfasted and gone out before rose
in the morning.
Sometimes he spent his day at the
chemical laboratory, sometimes in the
in long walks, which appeared to take
him into the lowest portions of the
city. Nothing could exceed HIS energy
when the working flt was upon him;
but now and again reaction would
seize him, and for days on end ne
would lie upon the sofa In the sitting
room, hardly uttering a word or NOV
ing a muscle from morning to night.
On these occasions | have noticed
such a dreamy. vacant expression In
his eyes, that might have suspected
him of being addicted to the use of
some narcotic, had not the temperance
and cleanliness of his whole life for
hidden such a notion.
AS the weeks went by, my interest
in him and my curiosity as to his aims
in life gradually deepened and increas
ed.
I1iS very pCTsOn anu udppSdTduCS were
such as to strike the attention of the
most casual observer In height ne
was rather over six feet, and so exces-
sively lean that he seemed to be con.
siderably taller.
His eyes were sharp and piercing,
save during those intervals of torpor
to which | have alluded; and his thin,
hawk-like nose gave his whole express
sion an air of alertness and decision.
His chin, too, had the prominence
and squareness which mark the man
of determination.
His hands were invariably blotted
with ink and stained with chemicals,
yet he was possessed of extraordinary
delicacy of-touch, as frequently had
occasion to observe when watched

MEXICAN TRAIN HELD UP.
Daring American Robbers Make a Big Haul
Escaped in the Darkness.

Daring American Robbers Make a Big Haul
Escaped In the Darkness
El Paso, Tex, July 26.-A daring
holdup took place on the Mexican Gen.
tral about 1880 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, just after the train left Bernijillo.
At Bernijillo three Americans boarded
the train, two secreting themselves on
the blind baggage and the other enter
ing the third class coach. As soon as
the train pulled out the two riding on
the blind baggage entered the express
car, and, covering the messenger with
their guns, ordered him to throw up
his hands. The express messenger
offered no resistance. The robbers
then went leisurely through the safe,
securing 100000 in currency, con-
signed to the Bsnco Minero, at Chi
huahua. They also took what other
money packages were in the safe, and
stood quietly by until the train stopped,
making hssty exit, and dropping off
the train as it was slowing down.
After alighting they disappeared in
the darkness.
About the time the robbers entered
the express car the conductor of the
train became engaged in an alteration
with passenger who refused to pay
has fare. Finally the conductor had
the train stopped and the passenger
elected. The robbers alighted at the
same time. 1t is now believed the
troublesome passenger was partner of
the robbers, and his action ruse to
secure the stopping of the train.

The Marrying AGE.

The marrying age, according to sta.
tistics, is steadily advancing. This
accounts, perhaps, for another fact,
that women are beginning to look
younger and more girlish in the shady
twenties and the early thirties than
they used to do. Twenty-Five years
ago a woman of S2 who was unmarried
would have been regarded as hopeless
cid maid. Now she lie quite girl at
that age and her marriage is still
thought Of. II we continue to grow
old IN this leisurely fashion the very
name "old maid" will disappear from
our vocabulary, if indeed it has not
done so already.

DISORDERS AT PARIS.
More RiOtias Follows Attempt to Close the
Church Schools Many Arrests.

Church Schools Many Arrests.
Paris, July 2G.-Disturbances con-
tinue as a sequel to yesterdays clerical
outbreaks az protests against the gov
ernment's enfrcement Of the law against
unauthorized congregations. II now
appears that 300 arrests were made and
numerous prosecutions are pending,
although the majority of the prisoners
were released. Fresh meetings to
protest in favor OF the religious orders
are expected 10 be held, while the Rad
ical and Socialist papers are urging the
Republicans 10 meet at the Pantheon
as counter demonstration.
A serious disturbance occurred at
1890 O'Clock this evening from the
terrace at the Cafe de Musee de Clunic.
The police cleared the cafe. Several
persons we're injured and 25 arrests
were made. Some disorderly meetings
OF Catholics we're held during the course
Of the evening, resulting in scuffies and
the making Of arrests.
The agitation recalls to some extent
the scenes enacted when NJ. Ferri. then
premier, expelled the Jesuits, in 1880.
Demonstrations in favor of the nuns
and of the teaching friars are taking
place in Paris and many places in the
provinces where the projects presented
themselves at the schools and ordered
that the institutions be closed. Up to
the present, however, no serious Incl.
dent has been recorded.
The Nationalists have Joined the
Clericals in engineering the agitation,
and their leaders are in the forefront
OF the efferyescence in Paris. Much
sympathy has been worked up on be-
half of the nuns, and their schools have
been made particular objects of demon
STATIONS. The Clericals called upon
their sympathizers to meet outside OF
the school conducted by the Sisters of
st. Vincent de Paul, in the northeast
quarter of Paris, which was closed,
and great crowd gathered there, COM
pelling large body OF mounted muni-
cipal guards and police to form Gordon
in the streets leading to the school. A
few trifing collisions occurred between
the Clericals and counter demonstrators,
who replied to the Clerical cries of
Long live the good Sisters" and,"vive
la libelte," with "Down with the
priests" and "Long live the republic. !"
A Nationalist member of the chamber
of deputies was arrested while trying
to force his way through the police cor
don, but was subsequently, released.
Anti-Clerical meetings in the Latin
quarter this evening led to some effer-
vescence, but no noteworthy disorder
Trouble of similar nature occurred
at several other points.
Against these incidents, however,
must be set off the addresses in support
of the government voted by many mu-
nicipal councils. While much svm-
pathy is felt with the Sisters personal
ly, Premier Combes undoubtedly feels
that he is supported by the mass of the
people, and is not likely to recede from
the position he has taken.

OWNS PHILADELPHIA.
The Descendant of a Reformed Pirate
 Claims 550 Acres.

Another claimant for a large slice of Philadelphia has turr ed up in Denver, Col. He is George James Chambers, 2 carpenter. and he says that some .51 acres Of land in the business heart Of the city, valued at about $50 oC0. .000, be long to him.
 Chambers says he is the sreae-great- grandson Of pirate. Away back in colonial times this rover of the seas aHassed treasure under the black flag, and then, becoming Virtuous, set tied down n Pennsylvania under the name of Joseph Cliff.
 William Penn was then boss of the Pennsylvania machine, and as Cliff helped to fight Indians on the frontier his master gave him the land in ques- tion as a reward.
 A descendant of Cliff in J1S3. leased the broad acres of the pirate king to the city of Philadelphia Tor q term Of ninety-nine years at a nominal rental. The property in question is described in the quaint language of the lease as lying direct in line commencing at my brick house, which is on the bank Of the Delaware river, and running west 800 chains, thence east sec chains to the county line. there being $50 acres in said pIot.''
