tired expression, but his smile, if
rare, was very pleasant.
He was smiling now.
Margery looked very pretty in her

"a, 81 please myself when come here"
he remarked. with a slight glance at
Margery, and letting her take his hat
and stick, Then he sat down and
stared hard at her as she sat opposite.
She rested him, this fresh young crea-
ture, His tired mind relaxed in her
presence. He felt younger, better.
Margery's color came and went. She
was looking her best. sparkle Of eX-
element made herb bright eyes brighter.
The man was her hero, her king
among men. She admired him for the
very poverty which had rendered his
struggle with life necessary, for the
tired look in his eyes, for his smile, and
perhaps because he went nowhere eX-
cept to her. She watched the tired
face relax with a thrill OF triumph.
His fingers stole insenslbly TO the
pocket where reposed his pipe.

"You are throwing away a treasure"
She tossed it into a bowl Of pot

negligently, and pressing her fingers

"oh! very quietly" said Margerx,
with a sigh. we hardly go anywhere

Russia Awaits Criticism.

St Petersburg. July 1S.-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamers
Smolensk and st. Petersburg. now
cruising in the Red Sea. are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war. is caus-
ing the liveliest interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the
question. believes herself to be within
her rights, and neither fears nor an
ticipates international trouble. Indeed.
some of the powers may have been
sounded by Russia on the subject. Nev-
ertheless foreign opinion is awaited ca
gerly and more or less criticism is eX-
pected.
Members of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the
passage through the Dardanelles OF
these vessels of the volunteer fleet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships of war The gen
eral view in diplomatic circles. even
where sentiment is not particularly
friendly to Russia, is that, while the
passage of the Dardanelles might be
considered n piece of sharp practice
on the part of Russia. IT. is an accom-
plished fact and the powers will not
now regard 1t as a violation of the
treaty of Paris. but will guard against
its repetition.

London. July 1S.-The morning pa
pers have dispatches from correspond
ents at Gen. Kuroki's headquarters
which bring the situation in the far
East up to July 10th. All of the writ
ers agree in saying that the situation
is unchanged, but that the armies al
ways are in touch. that the Russians
are being strongly reinforced and that
battle may be expected any day.
Slight skirmishes are reported TO have
taken place on July 18th.
st. Petersburg. July 1S.-Under date
of July 10th. Lieutenant General SAX
haroff reports that the chasseurs are
driving back the japanese advance
posts southwest of Sialhotan and east
of Kanchi.
The japanese. the general says, have
ro-occupied Kochinha. They are still
fortifying the passes between Fonshui
and Molten,
The japanese near Lao Yang have
evacuated Sokeyan and Yanlitan. The
country frcm Sioasyra up to Sohu Pass
is free from Japanese but the pass it
self is occupied by detachment of the
Japanese advance guard.
General SakharOf reports several
minor encounters with practically no
casualties.

London. July 1S.-Almost without
exception the newspapers this morning

on the Russian volunteer feet steamers

eminent is urged to take action. espe-
cially for the protection of their com
merce in the Red sea and neighhoring
waters.

outspoken protest written with traces
of government inspiration. says:
There is a limit to compiaisanee

we have been for a century and haH

French Decoration for Mr.. Hay.

Paris, July 15.-The most important
announcement in the forthcoming list
of decorations following the French
national holidays will be that of Presi-
dent Loubet comforting tine Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor upon
Secretary Hay.
The grand cross is the highest grade
and is given only to personages whom
the government desires to honor sig
nally. An official said it was evidence
of Foreign Minister Delcasse's high re-
gard for Mr.. Hays conduct of foreign
affairs during the last five years.
This had constantly strengthened
Franco-American relations. the latest
being American recognition of French
paramount authority in Morocco under
the Franco-British agreement.

BY Interfering.

Berlin, July ia dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from New Chwang,
dated July 11th, describes the friction
between General Kuropatkin and Vice
roy Alexieff, which, in connection with
the correspondents recent interview
with General Kuropatkin, indicates
that the present dispatch was based on
information from near the Russian
headquarters.
The correspondent says that Vice
roy Alexieff continually disturbs mill
tary matters by assuming kingly airs.
He reverses Kuropatkin's orders, AFRO

representative.

He sends his own chief of staff twice
or thrice weekly to Ia Tche kfao to

kin's doings.
1t was reported that the officers
corps was almost ready to mutinJ
against the viceroy, but desisted. be-
lieving it to be impossible to influence
the Emperor to remove Alexieff.
The correspondent believes that the
present state of things will lead to the
loss of more battles unless Alexieff
is recalled, adding:
His presence is not only useless.
but is a serious danger to the army.

HARTMAN WINS A POINT.
Court Enjoins Jim Hill from Oistrib-
uting Assets Of Northern Securi-
ties Company.

Trenton, n. j., July 15.-Judge Brad
ford to-day granted a preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Edward
II. Hartman, Winslow Speyer and 9TH
ers to restrain the proposed pro rata
distribution of the assets of the North
ern Securities Company. This is
defeat for the Hill interests. The
opinion is fifty typewriter pages in
length.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North
ern Pacific stock which Il. II. Harri-
man and Winslow Pierce put into the
combination. and which amounted to
about s79.O0O,00O. The contention of
the Northern Securities Company was
that the stock had become the abso-
Lutte property of that company and that
it was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities Company to carry out the
pro rata plan of distribution upon
which the company had agreed. Harri-
man contended that by reason of the
corporation being declared illegal by
the United States Supreme Court title
had not been passed from Hartman
and Pierce, and in consequence they
were entitled to have returned to them
the particular stock they had put into
the combination and which involved
control of the Northern Pacific Com
pany.

Meat Riot in New York

New York, July ia fierce meat
riot occurred at Forty-fourth street
and First avenue this afternoon in
which 500 East Side kosher butchers
and striking employees of the big pack
ing house took part.
Just before the riot began some 200
kosher butchers, who at a meeting last
night pledged themselves not to buy
any meat from the wholesale dealers
at the prices demanded, arrived at
Forty-fourth street and First avenue
to see what the prices were.
At the packing houses of Guggen-
helm & Co., Meyers Sons and II. Rod
man G. Co.. they were informed that
the wholesale price for carcass beef
was from IL to IS cents pound. All
but four of them refused to buy.
The four who persisted in buying
the meat were not molested until they
left Guggenheim's packing house. lug
ging the meat they had purchased.
As soon as the butchers saw them
great yell of anger went up and with
one accord they made for the four
men. In the van was butcher who
has a store at 156 Allen street. He
knocked down the first OF the four
men. then he reached another butcher
Then. grabbing a side of beef from his
arms, he began to beat him on the
head with it. The others rushed in
and at the same time large number
of strikers who had BEEN lettering in
the vicinity of the packing houses
joined in the fight.
The fight became general. The four
men were lost sight of and everybody
struck out right and left. Men
sprawled in the street by the score.
At this juncture ten policemen
charged the mob with their night
sticks, which they used freely. The
mob swept down Forty-fourth street
to the river. where finally the police
succeeded in dispensing the fighters.
They did not go far, however. but
gathered about block away from the
packing house, threatening violence.

BOGUS RAILROAD TICKETS.
Denver scalpers Arrested, Charged
With Forgery.

Denver, July 16.-The News this
Sisson. A. l.. Hatch and j. X. Rossnell
local railway ticket brokers. by Under
Sheriff Felix O'Neill and Deputies
Rogers and Murray. H. II. Roach, as
sistant superintendent of the Pinker-
tons, with headquarters in Chicago,
declares that he has run down and un-
earthed the biggest combination OF
railway ticket manipulators in the
West. and one that has given the rail-
roads. particularly those centering in
Denver, no end of anxiety and finan-
cial loss.
The arrests were made late yester-
day afternoon on warrants issued by
Justice Rice. charging the defendants
with forging railroad tickets. The
Railway Ticket Protective Bureau, of
which the big trunk lines Of Denver
are members, is behind the prosecu-
ton, although the Burlington and Den
yer & Rio Grande officials made afii-
davlts for the complaints yesterday.
The Pinkertons have all the business
of the bureau and have had Mr.. Roach
at work on the case in this city since
May. The latter declared last night
that he had evidence enough against
the defendants to prosecute them on
fourteen separate charges. Their
bonds were fixed at $4,000 each.
When the men were taken in custo-
dy their offices were searched and t"J
grips of bogus or plugged tickets,
according to Roach. were found and
confiscated, also two bottles of acid.

type, plugging and altering and num-
bering machines. which ne claims
were used to manipulate tickets. There
was also some mixed starch. thought
to have been used in stlffening rail
way transportation. Attorney Thomas
Ward. counsel for the bureau. has
most of the evidence held against the
defendants.

Slcision Affecting Immigrants.

Washington, July 15.-Secretary
Metcalf of the Department of Com
merce and Labor decided rather nov
ell case to-day, involving the right Of
an alien Mormon to enter the United
States. Mr.. Metcalf ordered that the
alien be permitted to land, holding
that the law bars those only who are
in and practice polygamy, while the
foreigner in question is a Mormon but
is content with one marriage.
The case arose at the port of New
York. The alien Mormon is an Eng
lish woman of more than ordinary in
telligence. The law of 1891 forbids
the landing of polygamists. but does
not go into a detailed description of
what constitutes polygamy. and does
not define the belief that such acts as
a bar against coming into this coun-
try.
Although the law has been on the
statute books for more than dozen
wears, this is the first time the ques-
ton of its enforcement has come up.
The Immigration authorities are scru-
tinizing aliens with a fine-tooth comb
and the examiners singled out the
English woman as subject for in
vestigat ton before being released.

Denver, July 16.-A special from
Greeley to the Republican says: Mar
shal Camp and five deputies raided
the gambling houses of Evans tonight.
confiscated the gambling parapherna-
liza and arrested Jack and Jim O'Grady,
NJ. p. Peltari, Joseph Judelowitz and
Mrs. Paul Henchell, the proprietors oil
the gambling houses, on charge OF
violating the state ordinance govern
ing gambling.
The raid was planned quietly by the
marshal and no warning preceded him
On arriving at Evans a deputy was
placed in each of the five resorts to
take charge of the slot machines on
the lower floor. In short time l5o
people, composed mostly of the rough
er element of the town, gathered about
the buildings.
Jack O'Grady, who runs the finest
saloon in the place. is a stalwart Irish
man, and he determined to resist the
removal of his property. Finding that
angry words and curses were or no
avail, he attempted to draw gun on
the marshal. BY this time twenty or
thirty of the better citizens OF the
town had arrived and placed them
TO aid him in enforcing law and order
ASGrady was persuaded to offer no
more resistance and gave up his gun.
Eighteen slot machines were taken
from the houses. Six of these be-
longed to Jack O'Grady and each OF
the other houses was running three.
1t is reported that $4,000 are in these
machines, and it has been some time
since they were relieved of tiAeir con
tents.
AS soon as the heavy machines were
placed on two heavy drays sent from
Greeley the deputies were put in
charge of the upper rooms to remove
from them all gambling contrivances.
While in one of the upper rooms Ell
mer Waters. one of the deputies. was
struck over the head and pummeled
by several habltues of the place.
Waters attempted to defend himself
with chair, but was knocked to the
floor, his face bruised and cut, and his
nose broken. He was taken home and
placed under the care of a surgeon.
After the belongings of the gambling
rooms were loaded on the drays the
gangs around the saloons ordered the
drivers down from their seats and un-
hitched the horses from the wagons.
The marshal and his men then told
the crowd what it might expect If it
offered further resistance. The horses
were harnessed again and the big
wagons started for Greeley.
In the meantime word reached
Greeley that Marshal Camp was hav-
ing trouble and an armed force start
ed for his assistance. 1t met the mar
shal and his plunder one mile from
town and escorted him home. On ar
irving here at 10 o'clock the company
was met by 200 people.
