Il does not often fall to the lot Of q New
Yorker to DO held up by q Yosemite stage
robber, and when IL does happen he usually
brings away little else than his clothes anS
some experience. Two New Workers who
were recently held up by q masked bandit
on their way into the Yosemite Valley have
Just returned home. They saved thSir money,
with the exception Of $50 in the case Of
one and Of SIS In the case Of the other and
brought back with them photographs Of
the incident
I The mornings trip from Raymond to
A~hwahnee, the lunch station, was largely
taken up by stories Of stage robberies and
the like, but the stage driver assured all that
no robber would hold up so small a party.
The stage was driven by Bright Gillespie,
the crack driver on the route, and had six
passengers-Mr. and Mrs. r. A. Tuttle Of
San Francisco, Miss Maude Smyth Of Wa
wona, Cal, q returning trooper, and A. F.
Ormsbee and M. Bishop Of this city.

mountains and approaching a sharp turn
in the road, the passengers were startled
by a bold masked robber appearing sud-
denly around the bend.
To the New Workers on the box seat the
driver whispered, Here il Is now" For
the moment it was considered a joke, but a
look at the drivers face showed it TO be the
real thing.
Mr.. Road Agent was about S feet 10 inches
tall, thin, with deep set blue eyee, long,
bony hands, with large jointed fingers and
long slim legs. He wore a fierce looking
outfit.
Pulled down over his head to his eyes
and back Of his neck was an old, dirty light
felt hat. His face, from just below the
eyes, and his hair were screened by a dirty
blue polka dot b~andanna; his home made
coat was constructed Of pieces of gunny
sacks. hers and there patched with blue
gingham. A pair Of old and dirty trousers
fitted his thin legs snugly, and over his
shoes he had fastened home made cloth
moccasins tied with Irvine.

and opened the door for the adoption Of a
far reaching proposition In favorof the sub
mission Of all questions TO Investigation
before hostilities are commenced. He used
the North Sea incident as an illustration
and urged the extension Of the powers Of
the board Of inquiry.
His how famous exclamation, THE
Duma is ~dead-long live the DumSi" illus
trates both his moral courage and his devo-
ton to representative government. The
sentence was q part Of his Peace Congress
speech and was uttered in the presence Of
the Duma representatives who left Russia
before the ~proroguing OF that body. It
electrified the audience and has been widely
commented on throughout Europe.
Few Premiers have had so large a ma
jority back Of them, or possessed 70 fully
the confidence Of their supporters, and the
programme prepared by the Ministry was a
most comprehensive ne. It Ia too much
to expect that the Liberal majority can
be maintained on all the questions which
will be under discussion, but it is evident
that the new Government will have a num-
Der Of important reforms to its credit when
it finishes its work.

first. whether il was immoral, eand sec-
ondly, whether it was libellous. The result
was a Judgment that 1t was both. The
author was sentenced to four months i'm
~prisonment. and the Court ordered the
destruction Of the forms from which the
book was printed so as to prevent the issue
OF any further edition OF it. Fischer had
already been sentenced in another cour;
on April 10 last to three months imprison-
ment. The case was heard on appeal. with
the above above result of an increase in
the penalty.
The scene OF Nerves" is laid in GrtinN-
wald, a suburb Of Berlin, and il was alleged
in court that the district and the personal
peculiarities OF a number of people living
in it are described in the story with photo
graphic fidelity, 30 that the residents Of
GrOnewald could not fail to recognize the
identity OF the characters.
One resident in particular, a man Of in
dependent means, whom the Berlin news
papers discreetly describe as N. recognized

the book. Frau Bldthner is associated
in the story with a warm blooded' Polish
lady, the Countess Bninska. and the adj
ventures in which they figure are far from
edifying. Frau Bluthner is represented
"a having small regard for her marriage
vows
.Thecomplaintb eforetheC Court representa-
that this picturing Of the complainant and
his wife was particularly injurious because,
although IL was wholly untrue, il was woven
in the narrative with a mass OF actual occur
rencee, in which real people exactly de-
soribed took part, and which happened IN
actually existing places also exactly pic:
tured. Thus the reader, who knew some 81
the incidents In the story to be occurrences
IN real life, would naturally infer that tho
doings ascribed 10 the couple called Bllther
but modelled on the complainant and HIS
wife were equally ~veracious.
The author, through his advocate, de-,
MED both the Improperly of the book and
the intention to libel. Every character m IT.
he alleged, was a creation Of his ina gina
tion. The doings were, in earnest fashion,
a revelation OF the social life Of the day.
The case was considered by the Court IN
private for two hours before the revised
sentence was imposed. BY way Of s~atIsfac-
ton for the aggrieved M" and his VIE,
the Court ordered that official publication
OF its finding that the book was hheCouS
should be Laade IN ~uru-Iowaio.

fords conclusive proof Of the tendency OF
man to magnify his " calling.
Nothing better illust rates the oonser-
vatism Of the House Of Lords than the
fact that the Liberal party can claim but
one-tenth Of the membership Of that body,
while it has 200 majority in the popular
branch OF Parliament. 1t must not be
supposed, however, that all the bills passed
by the House Of Commons will be defeated
in the House OF Lords, for while a large
majority Of that house nay really oppose
a measure they recognize that the very
existence Of their body would be jeopar-
DICED il it opposed the people on any i'm
portant question. Nominally, the House
Of Lords has an equal voice with the House
Of Commons in the enactment Of laws,
but az a matter Of fact it does not dare to
exercise the power which IL has.
The Navy Department has reduced the
appropri alton for large vessels, and il is
certain that at the next Hague conference
Great Britain will be found supporting a
proposition for the limitation Of arma-
ments. Edmund Robertson, the financial
secretary to the Admir- atty, presented the
overnment's scheme for reduction and
made a favorable impr ession upon the
House Of Commons.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Minister Of Education, Mr.. BirreII,
has been the busies Of the Minister so far.
He has had charge Of the educationa bill.
which has been under discussi on Tor several
months and which, after being perfected
in committee Of the whole, has been
passed to a third reading by a mai ority
Of 1872. As the bill deals with reli q ion
az well IA education and concerns the
children Of the country IL arouses deep
inter est.
In England the public school system
has grown up az an addition to the church
schools, or rather the public schools have
supplemented the work formerly done by
the private schools. As these sch ools
increased in numbers and Importance the
church schools began to ask for a division
| Of the school funds, and this, ~ it usually
does, brought into politics the question OF
religious instruction in the schools.
As long a. the private schools were
supported by private contribution or en-
dowment their religious instruction was
| entirely in their own hands, but when thess
schools began to draw their support from
the public treasury the taxpayers objected
10 paying for instruction in the creed oi
| any other Church than their own. -Four
years ago the Conservatives enacted . Law
which gave to the Established Church Of
England considerable advantage over the
Nonconfomist Churches in the manage
ment Of the public schools, and this led
TO a campaign against the law by the Non
confomists.
Their opposition TO the Conservative
| Government contributed not q little TO the
Liberal victory and the bill now under con-
sideratiou In Parliament puts them upon "a
eaual footing with the members Of tha

am very glad to avail myself Of the OPP
portunity offered by a private audience
10 meet his Majesty, King Edward, and to
be assured Of his personal interest in the
promotion Of peace. The King has a very
genial face and makes his visitor feel at
ease at once. He has a knowledge Of world
politics and by his tact and good nature
has done much to promote cordial relations
between his own and other countries.
1t may not be out Of place to correct an
impression that has gone abroad with regard
10 the style OF dress required Of those who
are admitted to the presence Of the King.
Because knee breaches are worn at court
functions many have understood. and I
among them, that they we're required on all
occasions; but this is not the case.
Most Of the calls made upon him in
formally are made before dinner, and the
ordinary black coat is worn. The require
ments are not a. strict as they are in Russia,
japan and Sweden, where I was advised to
wear an evening suit for a morning call.

Scotchman, IL the new Prime Minister, and
those who know him intimately feel that his
SELECTION Is a vindication OF the doctrine
that patience and courage, when joined
with merit, are invinicible. He is now well
advanced in years and during his entire
public career has stood unninchingly for
democratic ideas.
He has not been discouraged by the fact
that he has often been In the minority; on
the contrary. he has felt az confident in his
position when be has had to maintain it
amid taunts and jeers as when his speeches
brought forth applause. He Ii not as great
an orator as Gladstone, but he has a very
persuasive manner and his fine sense Of
humor gives brillianCy to his speeches.
In outlining the policy OF the Liberal
party last December he credited the victory
At the polls to several causes-the tariff ques-
ton, the Chinese question, the educational
problem and municipal questions. He
pledged his party to certain reforms and
boldly advocated a reduction Of military
and naval expenses.
He pointed out that there could be no re-
trenchment in taxation II the Appropria-

stnued TO increase. He has beer called a

In view Of his utterances in favor Of

On that occasion was an epoch making

0~ussions back and forth one can understand
why free speech has had 10 large an In

institutions Of Great Britain. Here every
idea IL threshed out and every measure
moulded into permanent form.
But to return to the Minister Of War,
Mr.. Haldane might be taken for Tom l..
johnson, Cleveland's redoubtable Mayor,
so much IL he like him In face and figure.
He Is plausible In speech and so goodnatured
that no one can be angry with him, however
he may dissent from his conclusions.
For two hours he held the attention Of tho

II was noticeable that the heartiest re-
sponses were drawn forth by his expressions
in favor Of peace and arbit ration. The re-
organization scheme which he presented
provides for q reduction Of several thousand
men and a considerable decrease in the
total cost. but to make the scheme more
acceptable the remaining regiments are so
disposed as to give the country q larger
fighting force than it now has.
It was interesting to watch the Opposition
benches, whose able leaders vigorously at
tack everything that the new Government
proposes. Ex-War Minister Foster fol-
lowed Mr.. Haldane and picked flaws in his
plans, but did not receive the attention
accorded the War Minister.
The army question is a~rousing con-
siderable interest, and the Government
bill is likely to have more opposition in
the House Of Lords than in the Commons.
