LONDON, April Lady Evelyn
Guinness is accounted one of the pret-
tiest youthful matrons in English So
ciety and is generally voted the best
dancer in London. She has a double
claim on her heritage of good looks.
Her father. the Earl of Buchan, is still
known by the sobriquet of the Pocket
Adonis' s''-sometime abbreviated to
"P. A''-which was bestowed on him
in his youthful days because of his
diminutive figure and handsome fea-
lures. Time has dealt lightly with
him; he is still great dandy and his
dress always exemplifies the latest cor
rect thing in masculine fashions He
mated with a beauty, Miss Rosalia
Sartoris, of mingled Irish and Spanish
descent, who combined in a rare de-
gree the feminine charm of both races.
1t is natural. therefore, that Lady
Evelyn should be of the ideal Dresden
china type, petite, with delicate color
ing and a mass of soft, fair hair She
married two years ago, when she was
only IS, the youngest son of Lord
Iveagh. Youngest sons of peers do
not usually come in for much, but Lord
Iveagh belongs to what Labouchere
calls the 'beerage," and being in con-
sequence many times millionaire has
made princely settlements on each of
his three sons, who, by the way. all be-
came benedicts in the same year.
In addition to a fine home in Dublin,
Lady Evelyn is mistress of beautiful
old country place near Bury st. Ed
munds, where she recently entertained
the Queen. Jewels set off her dainty
style of beauty well. and she has a
magnificent assortment of them.

Terrible Fate as Result
of the Recent Earthquake
BIG HARVEST OF DEATH

Have Been Destroyed, but
Full Facts Are Not Known

LAHORE, India, April -Four hun
dred and seventy men Of the Gurkha
regiments were buried alive as a re-
suit Of the earthquake at the hill sta
tion at Dharmsala, according to the
latest information from that place. The
reports add that it is impossible to
rescue the entombed men.
The greatest difficulty is experienced
En- procuring news from Dharmsala.
Thu telegraph staff al the station there
was practically wiped out and tenn
porary ofhce has been opened thirteen
miles from the town but the facilities
are very scanty.
The Kangra Valley is believed 10 have
been devastated and it is reported that
the town Of kangra was reduced to
ruins with great loss of life. No con-
nrmation of the report is obtainable as
the. telegraph station at Kangra is
wrecked.
A private telegram received here
says the whole town of Palampur, con-
tanning about 5000 inhabitants. has been
leVeled to the ground and that not a
single building is left standing. This
announcement has not been confirmed.
CALCUTTA. April 1T now appears
that more than 400 of the Seventh
GUrkhas were killed at the Dharmsala
cantonment by the collapse of stone
baTrack building in consequence of the
recent earthquake. In addition. TWEEN
" members Of the first battalion and
fifty members Of the second battalion
of the First Gurkhas were killed, while
il is roughly calculated that from 20 to
50 per cent Of the native population of
the surrounding villages also perished.
In addition to the Europeans already
reported killed at Dharmsala, seven
children OF Europeans are said to have
persisted.
LONDON. April "A telegram re-
ceived by the Churtu Missionary So
ciety in London from Lahore, India,
reports that three Of the society's rep
resentatiVes at Kanray-the Rev. II. F.

Great Storm of Protest

ST. PETERSBURG, April s.-The
workn1en of the village of Smolensk
made demonstration yesterday the
occasion being the burial of an employe
of the PAIL factory who was killed by
a policeman a few days ago. Six thou
sand persons assembled early in the
morning in a heavy snowstorrn and
awaited the funeral procession. There
were red flags everywhere, and a
wreath deposited by Socialists on the
j coffin was inscribed. Died an innocent
victim in the struggle for liberty"
After the interment revolutionary
proclamations were scattered among
the people and a procession was
formed. headed by a Socialist carrying
a banner inscribed. Death to the Czar.

force of military and police interfered.

The dismissal of Rimsky Korsokon
from the staff of the conservatory on
account of his attitude during the stu
dents strike is evoking a storm of ad-
verse criticism, the press and all circles
of society commenting on the course
adopted toward one of the greatest
masters of Russian music after Tschai-
kowsky. His dismissal was ordered by
the business management of the con-
servatory committee without consulting
the advisory committee of the acad-
emy or the Imperial Music Society, the
members Of which are resigning in pro-
test.
1t is computed that the stoppage OF
work in the universities has cost the
Government $750.O00 in tuition fees,
which otherwise would go toward pay
ing the salaries of the faculties.
The Sviet yesterday made a vicious
attack on the Jews, whom the paper
charged with being at the bottom Of
the revolutionary propaganda in Rus

declares, are either in the hands of
Jews or are secretly owned or subsi-
dized by them.

table to-day by the absence of En-
-peror Nicholas and the imperial fam
lily. The Horse Guards is the Emper-
.or's own regiment, and never before
has he failed to attend it's annual pa
rade. With the Empress, Dowager En-
press and the entire court, the EN-
peror remained at Tsarskoe -SeIo.
The only Grand Dukes who ventured
out of their palaces were Nicholas.
Boris and Alexander Michaelovitch, the
first named representing the Emperor.
Even Grand Duke Vladimir, command
er Of the military district, was not pres
ent. The explanation offered was that
he was detained at the palace on ac-
count of sickness.
The danger to the imperial family
was regarded as especially great to-
day, as 1t happened that this was the
festival of the Immaculate Conception,
one of the strictest religious holidays.
All business was suspended. The en-
tire population was in the streets, and
the fear of an untoward incident in
view of the activity of the terrorists
induced extraordinary precautions.
Mounted gendarmes were stationed
at the bridges and in the streets lead
ing to the barracks to keep back the
rougher element and ordinary specta
tors, who were not allowed to approach
within a block. The parade. instead of
occurring in the usual open space be-
fore the barracks, took place within
the riding school, being in every way
a purely perfunctory affair, few, for
eign representatives and members of
society being present.
After the trooping of the colors the
regiment marched TO the Church of
the Ascension, adjoining the barracks,
where religious services were held. The
area around the church was filled with
solid phalanxes of Cuirassiers and
Cheyalier Guards, who later greeted
Grand Duke Nicholas as he emerged
from the portal with the ''hurrahs" al
riaf family. The public had only a
glimpse of the representative of the
ruling dynasty, and no echoing cheers
came from the crowd.
~ The ceremony of trooping the colors
was also carried out in the square of
the Winter Palace by the troops on
duty there.
The police made number of arrests,
but both military displays happily
passed off without disturbances.

Recent gains in the volume of busi-
ness ars fully maintained, but further

unfavorable weather in some sections.
Buyers are still arriving at the leading
cities placing additional spring orders,
and most fall lines that have been
opened are meeting with an encourag-
ing reception. Despite occasional re-
quests for extensions. collections are
more prompt on the whole.
Manufacturing returns are all that
could be desired. building operations
expand as the season advances and ag-
riculturaI prospects are better than
normal There is little friction between
capital and labor, most new wage
scales being arranged on the old basis.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Grain crops, trade and industrial re-
ports are in the main favorable, ex-
ceptions being noted in the South,
where cotton planting Is backward and
a reduced acreage is expected. and at
a few points in the West. where in
clement weather and bad roads tend to
check the otherwise full tide of spring
activity. Western merchants who
earlier in the season bought conser-
vatively are now reordering freely.
Money continues easy at most points.
Collections show improving tendencies,
though many cities report them only
fair. Gross railway earnings for March
indicate a gain of 9 per cent over a
year ago.
Relatively the best reports come
from the great West. the buoyancy OF
the advtces from which is in marked
contrast with the same period a year

SOLDIERS FAMILIES SUFFER.
New Problem Confronts the Authori-
ties i'm Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, April THE eff
forts of the police to smother the polit-
ical agitation have led them to invade
the cemeteries in their search for evil
dence of treason. 1t has become the
practice of students to place on the
graves of comrades who were active
OF, who suffered in the cause of free
dom wreaths bound with ribbons on
which political sentiments are inscribed.
The police now make nocturnal visits
to the cemeteries in search of these
reasonable notices, which are prompt
ly confiscated.
The stories of sufferings on the part
of the widows, wives and families Of
soldiers are attracting general atten-
ton, and the public demands Govern
ment aid for the sufferers. The local
charities are no longer able to cope
with the situation. In many places the
funds raised for this purpose are en-
tirely exhausted, and the provincial
papers are filled with pathetic accounts
of starving mothers and children beg
ging in the streets.
AT Mini Novgorod the palace of the
Governor was besieged by crowd of

asking for bread. The Governor in
formed the women that he would ap-
point a commission to investigate the
situation. His reply aroused the ire of
the local press. The Viedomosti said:
Always the eternal commission. While
it is investigating the women and chill
dren will starve."
M. Pobiedonostseff's position, that of
Procurator General of the Holy Synod,
will be abolished if the patriarchate is
re-established, and Antonius, the Met
ropolitan of st. Petersburg, as the
highest Archbishop, will become patri-
arch.
Under the new press regulations the
papers are not permitted to publish
anything regarding the Emperor and
the imperial family without the consent
of the court censorship. The Imperial
Chancellory has formally requested the
Kobeko commission, which is revising
the press regulations. to include this re-
striction. and such request the COM
mission regards as being equivalent to
an imperial order.
