preciative audience greeted Madame
Eugene Mantelli and her supporting
company of singers at the Broadway

to note that the large audience revealed
keen. intelligent discrimination in de-
Gliding upon the merits of the several

DECISION OUT.
North Sea Inquiry Com- mission Finishes Its
 Work.

Paris. Feb 25-The decision of tho international commission of inquiry into the North sea incident was public ly announced at the closing of the commission this afternoon. It sets forth the incidents and gives the opin- ions of the admirals on the various important points involved.
 The decision says that the delay of the Russian trasport Kamschaka, fol. lowing breakdown of her machinery. was perhaps the cause of the incident. The commander of the Kamschaka signalled Admiral Rojetvensky that he had been attacked by torpedo boats. The admiral therefore had reason to believe he might be attacked and gave orders for strict vigilance against the possible approach of the torpedo boats. The majority of the commits sion considered that the admirals or ders were not excessive and that he had every reason to consider the sit uation alarming. The majority of the commission were of the opinion that there were no tornedo boats in that vicinity and therefore the opening of fire bv Admiral Roietvensky was not justified. The Russian commissioner did not share in the latter oninion. The commissioners were glad to renog- nize unanimously that Admiral Rn;et. venskv. rersonollv did all he could to prevent the trawlers from being rhe object of fire by the Russian squadron.

Man Who Was Returning From New York to His
 Home In Italy.

New York, Feb 25.-Becoming sud- denly insane and believing that tine Matia was seeking his life, an Italian who was returning from this city to his old home in Italy ran amuck in the steerage of the liner Carpathia during her last voyage to Naples and stabbed several of his fellow passengers, one of them so seriously that he died from his wounds. The murderer was ar rested and turned over to the authori- ties at Naples. News of the tragedy reached here when the Carpathia came in to-day on her return voyage.
 The officers of the Carpathia said the murderer was a stone cutter and had lived in this city for several years. When he sailed for Naples he was llb- orally supplied with money and ap- peared to be in normal mental condi- tion. AS the steamer was nearing Gib- raltar however, he suddenly lost his reason and becoming uncomfortable, sprang upon fellow passenger and severed his jugular vein with a razor.
 Two other men were badly cut by the razor before the maniac was over powered, but their injuries. while seri- ous. were not fatal. After the man had been arrested he told the officers of the Carpathia he was being pursued by agents of the Mafia who sought his life and that he had acted in self de- fense. He was given into the custody of the Italian officials when the steam CT reached Naples.

THE StEDIESS APPLE.
Produced by John E. Spencer. a Colo.
 rado Grower.

New York, Feb 25-John F. Spencer of Grand Junction, Colo, is said to have at last produced the seedless ap- pie, which in its way is quite as won- derful as the pitless plum produced by Luther Burbank, the California wizard of horticulture. Spencer has labored nearly all his working life to produce an apple of which the small boy could thruthfully say: 'There ain't goin' ter be no core"- nor seeds either. for that matter.
 Some dozen or so of these new ap- ples were on exhibition yesterday at the warerooms of Steinhardt X Kelly at 101 Park place. The visitors were not invited to sample the fruit. for at present it is rare and costly, so much SD in fact that three of the apples sold for f5 at recent exhibition in Lon don.

REIGN OF TERROR NOW
 EXISTS NEAR BLACK SEA
Dead Armenians and husselmans Are to Be Seen in Many Places-strike Situations in Poland is Not Improving on Several Railroads Stopped Stoessel Attac fed by the Press

St Petersburg. Feb 25.-The reports to-day both from Poland and the Cau- casus are very disquieting. Owing to lack of direct telegraphlc commurica- ton with many places in the Cau- casus verification of the countless ru- mors afoat is impossible, but it is pos ttively known that almost reign of terror exists in the territory between the Caspian and Black seas. Private vengeances have glutted the streets of Raku, Batoum and Tifiis with dead Armenians and Mussulmans The re- ports. however. of the capture of Rus. sian garrisons and of the firing of tb } Black sea fleet on Poti, etc, are not confirmed.
 In Poland the strike situation is once more assuming a critical stage and it is feared the authorities may again be forced to adopt violent meas ures.
 The railroad strike situation in southern Russia is also more .menac- ing Traffic on half a dozen roads has been stopped, causing still further rif- faculties in the transportation of grain and coal and bringing business to a standstill. Over 15OOO0 carloads O grain await movement in the Volga district and several hundred thousand tons of coal for the iron and steel mal- ufactories cannot be budeed from the Donetskiy collieries. Added to this is the dangerous agrarian movement among the peasants of some of til" l southern provinces as result of the l circulation of the report that the em- peror on March will issue mani festo nroviding for a general division oe lands which has heen the dream Of the neasants ever since their emanci- | patton.
 Here in St Petersburg the workmen a~a in constant state of agitation 1 The employers are unable to deal with i the men who wolk out and resume work on alternate days. There are now over 40,OOO men idle and walking | the streets.

ATTACKING STOESsEL.

St Petersburg, Feb 25.-On the eve of General Stoessels arrival here a section of the press is attacking him bitterly. These papers have printed all the stories tending to show that the garrison of Port Arthur was not at ex- tremities when it capitulated, the Slovo even alleging mistreatment of the inhabitants of the city. The ma jority of the papers, however, resent criticism in advance of the official in. vestigation as being unjust, denounc. in git as shameful and comparing it to the persecution of Marshal Bazine fol lowing the surrender Of Metz. On ac. count of the death of Grand Duke Ser. gius all the plans for big public ova- ton for General Stoessel have been countermanded and the man who few weeks ago was extolled as the hero of the war returns to the Russian capital tonight almost like soldier in dis. grace.
