ODESSA, August 11.-Nowhere is the
struggle going on in Russia better illus
trated than in the detailed story of the
causes leading up to the murder of Admiral
Chukhnin.
Since the first attempt made by a lady
to assassinate him the commandant of the
Black Sea fleet had developed a degree of
severity which daily increased, especially
as regards his determination to prevent the
revolutionary agitation. All his measures,
however, proved in vain. Whilst among
the land troops the Black Hundred were
busfly working, and not without success.
for counterrevolution, the ships and sea-
mems barracks. became full of revo. luton
airy literature. which spread to the town
and obtained such a circulation that proc
lamations were even thrown into the sentry
boxes without the agitators being discov-
cred
Five days before the attack, in one of
the many searches ordered by Admiral
Chukhnin in the fleet, a large packet OF
revolutionary writings was found in the
possession of two sailors. During the cx-
animation, which lasted several hours, and
at which the adjutant to the admiral,
Lieut.. Siezyneyef, was present, the men re-
fused to give any information as to the
source whence the proclamation came, upon
which the admiral handed them over to be
tried Dy cOurt-marllal. AL the same time
he issued an order of the day to the feet
by which the whole of the men throughout
the feet and the naval barracks were
placed under arrest. No one was allowed to
leave either the ships or the barracks and
the men were also forbidden to receive
visits from their relatives, wives or chill
GreD.
Several hours after the issue of this or
der Admiral Chukhnin received, In some
unexpected manner, his death sentence
from the revolutionary party, dating from
the first attempt to assassinate him. Not
only this, but the death sentence was cir
culated in thousands of copies through
out the town and among the sailors In
this document the admiral was informed
that he had only two days allowed him in
which to rescind the order for general ar
rest, otherwise the sentence would be car
ried out. Admiral Chukhnin withdrew to
his summer residence at Golandin where
an especially strict guard was maintained.
After four days the encourage of the ad-
miral were convinced that the death SEN
tence had been a mere idle threat.
The death of the admiral was ordered by
the revolutionary party on account OF his
treatment Of the sailors.

made of the individual collections, there Is
none at present of the whole A neat little
handbook for the benefit of the general pub
lie has, however, been issued this week,
which serves as a pleasing souvenir If not
an enlightening guide. 1t is about the size

important objects in .he several depart

has been admirably hung in the first pic
ture gallery, which contains along with
this famous work four paintings by Rem
brandt. canvas by Halls, and also, most
notable, full-length portrait by Van Dyke.
All may not admire the collection of paint
ings by the early Americans-Copley and
West-which on the circuit come next I'M
der consideration, but no one can fail to
appreciate the portraits of our first Presi-
dent and his wife or the likenesses of Knox
and Otis, which stand a perpetual memo
rial of Gilbert Stuart's skill.
Collection Largely Supplemented.
The regular collection of paintings (mod-
ern paintings) owned by the museum is
largely supplemented at present by loans
made by private collectors. Thus there are
four Whstlers instead OF two, number
OF Monets, more than one Abbott Thayer
and three or four Sargents. There Is a
limited but a good collection Of recent
American paintings, chiefly portraits and
pictorial themes. 1t is worth trip to the
museum to see the 'Caritas' and the ''vir-
gin Entkroned," by Thayer; THE Black
smith of Lynn-Regis," by Whistler; Wins

Roger Van der Weyden, a contemporary OF

OF a Descent From the Cross" owned by
Mr.. de Guys of Washington, is the only

indeed, one Of the few in the world It Is,
OF course, archaic-quaint and curious, but
wonderfully wrought and genuinely i'm

There are two special exhibits at the mu-
scum at present-one Of etchings by
Charles Jacque, Appian, Delaney, Dau-
b1gny and Labaune; the other Of early
American silver, including the works of
the most accomplished smiths and a repre-
sentative collection of their most successful
achievements. Both are Of exceeding in

ITALIAN MANIA.
Wave Of Superstition Almost Equal
to Insanity.

Special Cablegram to The Star
ROME, August 11.-Apulia, the richest
region of southern Italy, seems to have
been suddenly invaded by wave of viz
ulent superstition, and there are even cases
of what is termed collective insanity and
wholesale religious mania. At Cerignola
for instance. after cyclone, the population
made eiaboratS preparations for the end
OF the world. There were still more pain
full scenes at Triggiano, where the people
went absolutely mad. In some unexplained
manner a rumor got into circulation that
on account of the queen being affected with
acute anaemia the king had ordered the
blood of children to be collected in order
to be given to her majesty. Thereupon
the parents armed themselves with picks,
spades, sickles, scythes. knives and other
implements. and repaired to the public
school. where they demanded that their
children should be handed back to them at
once. The authorities were obliged to &C
cede to the requests of the ignorant peas
ants, but rigorous inquiry as to the origin
OF this absurd rumor has been opened.

The doctor called Profs Brouardel and De

agreed that chloroform is well known to

servant girl had been dreaming of kisses.
and on awakening imagined that she saw
the doctor kissing her mistress. The court
was convinced by the two learned profess
sors and rejected the servant girls evil
dence. Unfortunately for the doctor, other
grounds for a divorce brought forward by
the wife were proved to be not hallucina-
tory, but substantial, and she has won her
suit.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GENEVA. August 11.-Inquiries by the
Zurich police have brought to light an ex-
traordinary story Of the alleged.marriage in
a London church of a. couple who at the
time were on the continent.
M. Blarek and his wife, the latter of Aus
TRAN nationality. were recently arrested at
Zurich as dangerous anarchists. Investiga-
tons resulted in the discovery that the
couple had been married by a remarkable
method. They sent papers relating to
themselves to a friend in London, who, 1t is
stated took them to a clergyman, with the
result that the marriage ceremony was Gel
ebrated. although the bride and bridegroom

AMERICAN CHECKS
PROVED DELUS|VE
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, August 1.-THE Americans
check Is no longer regarded on the CONT
nent and here in Paris as the equivalent OF
gold. The natives prefer the gold.
Time was when the American traveller,
who was supposed to be worth a million
at the very lowest rating. had no difficulty
in paying his accounts at the various hotels
or even the large shops with checks on diff
ferent banks. All is altered now. The ex-
perience Of hotel keepers recently has not
been such as to encourage confidence.
In the years gone by hotel proprietors
found that the checks of travelling Ameri-
cans were always honored, and consequent
ly rarely refused them. Since this has be-
come known foreign swindlers have appear
ed on the scene and used the regulations
of Americans for their own ends. Well
dressed men of various nationalties have
paid their bills by checks which were SUBJ
sequently discovered to be valueless. Some
times, indeed, substantial change was given.
Only last year one particular gang of
sharpers gathered a harvest from fraudu-
lent checks.
The result Is that in many hotels one
now sees the notice SO common in America:
mo checks received or cashed." OF course
don banks or tourist agencies are not called
into question.
A doctors wife has been petitioning for
a divorce on various grounds The evidence
on her side included the statement of
servant girl employed in friends house.
The doctor was called in to attend to the
maid during an Illness A surgical opera
ton was deemed necessary, and the girl
was put under chloroforn. On awakening
after the operation the first thing she saw
was the doctor kissing her mistress-that
Is to say, his wifes best friends, and of
course, she told the wife. Respondent has
met this evidence with a learned lecture
