MAY Join the Mutineers.

St. Petersburg, June 29.-The
government is in state approaching
a panic over events at Odessa and
the gravest fears are entertained
that munity among the blue jackets
may spread to the army. Should
some of the troops at Odessa be won
over to the cause of their comrades
of the navy other troops who will be
sent against them might throw down
their arms or join the mutineers and,
with the support of over a hundred
thousand workmen at Odessa, would
become the center from which civil
war would be waged against the
government.
Rumors are rife that the officers
on board the ships belonging to the
squadron of Vice Admiral Gruger,
which left Sevastopol for Odessa,
Tuesday, according to one report.
and for practice cruise, according
to another story, have shared the
fate of the officers of the battleship
Kniaz Potemkine, and have been
murdered by muntineers.
It is added that the mutineers are
in possession of other warships Of
the squadron. If so, the mutiny
has control of more than half the
heavy ships of the Black Sea fleet.

A Village Looks Like q Huge Hive OF
Clay on q Sandy Knoll.


Clay on q Sandy Knoll.
The little half civilized children Of
Zuni so aroused our curiosity that we
drove through forty miles Of sand and
sagebrush, from the railroad at Fort
Wingate, to pay them visit. AS the
Indians do not provide for travellers we
took our hotel with us-tents, beds and
food-and camped just outside their
village. The village looks like a huge
beehive made of clay and stuck fast
to the top Of sandy knoll. The hive
is filled with mass Of cells-3O0 single
rooms, placed side by side and piled in
rows one on top Of another.
In each Of these rooms lives Zun1
family. There are no inside stairways
leading from story to story, but If the
boys and girls living in one row wish
to pay a visit to a house above them
they must go outdoors and climb lad
der. On the slope between the village
and the Zuni river are a number OF
small vegetable gardens, each one In
closed by mud wall. Zuni has no
inns, no shops, no saloons, not even
proper streets, but only narrow alleys
that thread their way through the
strange town. AS we walked through
the village all the world came out to
see US. Girls and boys clustered on
the roofs or sat on the oyens-queer
little cones Of mad which seem to grow
ND out Of the house tops-while fa-
theirs, mothers and babies peered out
from dark doorways to stare at the
visitors. When we had fahished our
tour of the roofs and alleys we were
Hospitality invited indoors. Even there
the children followed us, and as we
glanced up at a hole in the ceiling
which served as q window a girls

Two years after Voltaire left Prussia
George Keith came to visit him in Swift
zerland to plead the cause Of an Eng

is familiar to all his countrylnen. The
French had beaten the English on the
sea. and, mad with disappointed rage,
the laundering ministry Of England
turned on their lucklesS instrument,
Byng. Voltaire was the lifelong friend
Of Richelieu. the conqueror. But he
was, too, the man Of whom it was
said that "for twenty years the redress
of judicial wrong hung entirely on his
pen. On Dec. 20, 1856, be wrote to
Richelieu telling Byng's story, and that
vainglorious person replied generously
enough in an open letter, wherein he
stated that had Byng continued the
fight the English fleet must have been
totally destroyed and that the admiral's
misfortune came not from cowardice or
inethciency, but from the hand Of God
and the valor Of the French.

victim. Byng paid the penalty Of other
mems folly. To Eoltaire he left a
grateful message and copy Of his de-
fense, and in "Candide," with that ban
tering malice which is his alone, Vol
taire sharply satirizes the scene Of the
admirars execution.
"And why should this admiral be put
to death?"
Because he has not killed enough
people. He fought with French ad-
miral and is not considered to have
been sufficiently near to him.
But" said Candide, "the French ad-
miral was just as far away from the
English"
"That Is certainly true" was the an
swer. "But in this country it is salu-
tary to put an admiral to death now
and then pour encourager les autres."
