The Derby week, which is always the central one of interest In the London season, wascompletelyspoiled by the wintry weather which has prevailed. Once or twice there was a fitful contest for supremacy between the sunshine and the rain, but it was always long odds in favor of Jupiter Pluvius. In spite of the elements, however, the Prince of "Wales and a large royal and aristocratic party attended the races every day, and it was noticed with sat isfaction by the crowds that the Prince has entirely recovered his recent indisposition and was in splendid spirits, especially after Common won the principal race of the meeting. The reason for this exhilaration is partly accounted for by the fact that he won bets amounting to 8,000. In the evening of Derby Day the Prince entertained a large company at dinner at Marlborough House, the guests including the Eoyal Highnesses, the Dukes of Con naught and Cambridge, Prince Christian, Prince Soltykoff, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the "Duke of St Albans, the Duke of Portland, Lord Alington and Sir Frederick Johnstone, the owners of the Derby winner.the Hon. "Jimmy" Lowfher, Mr. Chaplin and Lord Rothschild. Clarence Is Barred Oat. Although the Duke of Clarence is allowed to go racing, he is nevertheless not invited to these banquets, at which all etiquette and restraint are put aside and a good deal of frolic is indulged in. After dinner 'the Prince offered Lord Alington and Sir Fred erick no less a sum than 20,000 for Com mon. This the owners verbally accepted at the timer but the bargain was formally re tracted the next day by both sides. The. week, however, ended worse than it began. This .morning opened with a downpour of rain, which was followed by a dense yellow fog, a London particular. Thousands of people assembled at day break in St James Park, to witness the ceremony of "trooping the colors," in honor of the Queen's birthday. At 10 o'clock the hour at which the function usu ally occurs, the detestable weather con tinued, and orders t ere issued to postpone the ceremony. It is remarked that the social entertain ments which have taken place during the week, although more plentiful than ever, do not improve, as far as their class is con cerned. Quantity not quality reigns par amount Disaster after disaster has over taken the social arrangements, and in the highestquarters the season is being shorn of its cHarms through illness or death among all the best families. Fortunately, how ever, the signs of influenza are beginning to disappear, although it is not to be expected that we shall be wholly free from it, during what must, by courtesy, be called the summer months. Cat endish's Death Deplored. Lord Edward Cavendish, whose death is greatly deplored by everybody, and who, as will be remembered, succumbed to this complaint, was one of the most amiable and unpretentious of mortals and possessed sin gularly unassuming manners. He had a peculiarity, however, which was that of never carrying a stick or an umbrella in the streets of London. His death causes some delay in the long-predicted marriage be tween his brother, the Marquis of Harring ton, and the Duchess of Manchester. Lord Victor Cavendish will become the ultimate heir presumptive to the"Dukedom of Devon shire, should Lord Hartington, who is the next in succession (being the eldest son of the old Duke), marry the Duchess of Man chester, which is almost a certainty for him to do, and die without issue. Sir George Stephen is the first colonist upon whom the dignity of a peerage has ever been conferred. He was the President of the Canadian Pacific Railroad until 1888. He married Miss Charlotte Annie Kane, the daughter of Benjamin Kane, and has a daughter, who is the wife of Sir Henry Staf ford Uorthcote. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough spent "Whitsuntide at Blen heim Palace, where they entertained a large party. Miss Shaw, the daughter of Captain Shaw, the popular chief of the metropolitan fire brigade, met with a serious accident on Tuesday night as she was driving home from aparty. Thehorsesboltedandthebrougham in which she was seated was overturned. The movements of Americans. Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, with his family, left London yesterday for Dresden by way of Brussels. Before his departure, Minister Robert T. Lincoln gave a large dinner, at which Mr. mid Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mr. Clark L Carr, the Minister to Den mark, were the chief guests. Covers were laid for 21, and the places were occupied by some of the leading Americans resident in London. Her Eoyal Highness, the Princess Louise, will open a sale of work at Mrs. Mackay's residence, on Carlton House terrace, next Friday in aid of the Scottish Home Indus tries Association. The articles which will be exhibited are all characteristically Scotch, and comprise homespun tweeds, Shetland knitted goods and Ayrshire em broideries. Mrs. Mackay has arranged a grand concert to take place on the second day of the sale, and several American artists will take part in the proceedings. A A..ul f m A,-rnarriage has-been-arranged betweeaj Lord Ailsa and an American lady who is already well known in the social world of London. Mr. Robert S. McCormick, the Sec ond Secretary of the American Legation, whose resignation to accept the post of Commissioner of the WorhTs Fair in Eng land has been already chronicled, says that his. resignation from the Legation will not take effect until the 1st of September next Mr. Murry Duncan came to town yester day from "Wales, and immediately went to the American Legation, where he had a long consultation with Mr. Lincoln. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Lincoln shortly afterwards, and he told me he had not the slightest doubt of the prisoner's insanity. Mr. Lincoln expressed little hope of the recovery of the victim of the murderous assault HERBERT SPENCER'S SIN. HE ALLOWS HIS HEART TO GET THE. BETTER OF HIS HEAD. A Good "Word Spoken for a Noble Society Protecting Children Ho Afterward Re pents of His Tender Sin and Recants Studying Mental Disorders. tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Loxdox, May 30. Herbert Spencer, high priest of the cult of the survival of the fittest, recently astonished his hard-headed disciples by saying an encouraging word in public for the National Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Children. One must not wrong the author of "The Study of Sociology" by" suggesting that he displayed unseemly enthusiasm or cordiality in his commendation. The word was cau tiously and coldly spoken, and amounted to little more than an admission that it was not impossible the society might have done or would do good. .But it had scarcely been uttered when the creat man becan seriously to doubt whether his heart had not taken him further than his head should have allowed him to go. Ere long the doubt be came a certainty, and Herbert Spencer has recanted more publicly than he sinned. "It is surprising," he writes to the news papers,""with what light hearts people are led to abrogate the order of nature and to substitute an order of their own, declaring all life on the earth has risen to its present height under a system of parental obliga tion. Throughout, the process has so worked that the best nurtured offspring of the best parents have survived and main tained the race, while offspring inadequately nurtured have failed to leave self-sufficing posterity; and now it has come to be thought that these strong parental feelings, which in billions of creatures throughout millions of years have worked so bene ficially, may with advantagebe replaced by public sentiment working "through state machinery. The replacing of parental re sponsibilities by social responsibilities will inevitably cause degradation and eventual extinction." The police court records of cases in which society took action last year show that parental feelings, to which Herbert bpencer relers soadminngly, toot the torm, among others, of brutal blows and kicks, flogging with straps, pokers, ropes, boots, chairs, Kettles and frying pans, stabbing with forks and knives, the rubbing of mus tard oil into wounds and burning with hot irons. Dr. Frederick Peterson, of X"ew York, the specialist in nervous and mental dis eases, is in London, investigating the merits of the British Hospital for Mental Disor ders, also known as the Forbes Winslow Memorial Hospital, that was described in The Dispatch last February. Dr. Peter son has written a great deal upon reforms in the care of the insane, and some time ago he advocated the establishment in New York of a psycopathic hospital, an institu tion to which cases of insanity might be taken and treated without the patient being compelled tosuffer. FIGHTING THE COPYRIGHT. The London Chamber of Commerce to Made a Crusade on the Law. tBT DCNLAP'S CABLE COUFAXT.l Loxdos, May 30. Among the more serious matters which have attracted the attention of the country is the keen crusade' which the Chamber of Commerce is going to wage against the American copyright law. The number of trades affected by this law is greater than one would imagine in thinking of the mat ter at first, and includes compositors, proof readers, pressmen, " printing machine man agers, printers, warehouse men, electro typers, stereotypers, paper makers, type founders, inkmakers, printing machine makers, bookbinders, photographers and lithographers. The Cnamberias suggested to the trades societies which are aflected by this copy right law that it should seek to have intro duced into Parliament a bill by which British copyright shall be refused to all books which have not in the first instance been set up and printed within the British dominions or within the country itself. GERMAN CEREAL DUTIES. The Government Considering the Advisa bility of Suspending Them. BEBLiir, May 30. Replying to a deputa tion of the Council of the German Trading Association, urging the necessity of an im mediate suspension of the com duties as the only means of cheapening bread and re lieving the poorer classes, Minister von Boetticher said that consumers had a good reason to complain, but he doubted whether the suspension of the duties would act bene ficially. He added that the Government wasvear nestly considering the matter, and would not hesitate, in spite of the opposition in terests, to propose in the Reichstag a tem porary abandonment of the duties on cereals if convinced that such a measure would provo of real advantage to the consumers.

Zulu Envoys In England on a Very Im portant Diplomatic Mission. tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, May 30. Two black Zulu men, claiming to be envoys of King Gunguyane, ruler of a big fertile country in Africa, for the possession of which the English and Portuguese are squabbling, arrived in Lon don "Wednesday, in charge of a shrewd old Natal colonist named Doyle, who plays the interpreting business. lie envoys say they are under royal orders to see Queen Victoria and demand a British protectorate for their country. Should they be successful the British South Africa Company will have skillfully played the trump card, as they will be enabled to turn the Portuguese out of Gungunyane, a country, which, in addition to being fertile, is believed to contain untold mineral wealth. The probabilities are that Lord Salisbury will receive the envoys, and Queen Victoria may decide to relieve the monotony of life in the Scotch Highlands by having a palaver with them at Balmoral. "But, in any event, the unfortunate envoys will return to their country completely spoiled, judged by the stern Zulu standard, and will die young. About ten years ago Cetewayo, Rang of all Zululand, after annihilating an English expedition, was finally defeated, captured and exiled. In the course oftimehewas allowed to visit England, and took polite society in London by storm. Champagne and truffles had played havoc with the old Eavage, and he did not live long. THE CZAR'S RESIDENCE. FEAR PROMPTS THE CONTEMPLATED REMOVAL TO MOSCOW. The Persecution of the Hebrews Is Having Its Effect The Rich May Bribe the Po lice, but There Is No Mercy for the Poor -May End In Madness. TOT DDIfLAP'S CABLE COMPAJTT. St. Peteksbtjbo, May 30. The idea of moving the royal residence from St Peters burg originated with the Czar himself. It was at first suggested that the imperial resi dence be changed for one year, but then it was shown that this measure would cause serious inconvenience, as the highest office of the State and the foreign diplomats would have to remain in St. Petersburg. ' The permanent removal to Moscow was therefore finally decided upon as being the best The significance of this step needs no ex planation. It is unmistakable proof that the Czar personally is comfortable only when surrounded by old Muscovitism, and wishes to seclude himself more and more from European civilization. The daily dis coveries of dynamite and plots show the Czar that he is surrounded bra network of conspiracy and his life is in "hourly dan ger. It is said by those" about the palace that His Majesty, particularly at present, is in a most unhappy and morbid condition. To add to this an undercurrent of dissatis faction and bitterness among a certain class is at this moment pervading the capital, ow ing to the latest news from "Warsaw concern ing the vigorous repressive measures that are being exerted against the Hebrews. During the past several days hundreds of families who have lived all their lives in the Polish capital have received orders to leave. The working class and artisans have been treated with special severity. Thirty thou sand Hebrews will have to quit "Warsaw at once. An order has also been issued ex pelling the foreign Hebrews from Southern Russia, and, though those who can,afford it are permitted to bribe the police and are thus permitted to remain, the poorer classes are mercilessly swept out Thousands from Odessa, the province of Kherson and Crimea are making preparations to now immi grate to Palestine. The Czarina is generally esteemed by the people and regarded as a true woman, while it is feared that the strain upon the Czar will end in madness. RUSSIAN PRESS CENSORSHIP. It Is Again Breaking Ont Ir. a Most Insuffer able Form There. BT DtTCILAP'S CABLE COMPACT. London, May 30. Again the question of the censorship exercised by the Rus sian Government is attracting atten tion, as it is once more passing all bounds. Not only ore messages Btopped, about which there may by chance be a difference of opinion, but matters of absolute fact are detained until they are actually announced in the Government Gazette. Sometimes they are not even allowed then, and they are forbidden to be telegraphed without a reason of any sort vouchsafed for their detention.

The text of the Bering Sea bUl introduced into the House of Com mons yesterday by "WiUiam Henry Smith, First Lord of the Treasury, is in substance as foUows: "Her Majesty the Queen may, by an order in council, prohibit the catch ing of seals by British Bhips during a period to be limited by the order in council. "While the order in council under this act is in force, no person belonging to a British ship shall kill, take or hunt, or attempt to kill, take or hunt, any. seal within the Bering Sea during the period stated in the order in council. No British snip, or any equipment. or crew thereof, shaU be em ployed in such killing, taking or hunting, or attempt at killing, taking or hunting. If there be any contravention of this act, any person committing, procuring, aiding or abetting such contravention shall be guilty of a misdemeanor within the mean ing of the merchant shipping act, and the ship, equipment and everything on board Shall Be Forfeited to Her Majesty as if the offense had been committed under section 103 of said act, and sections 103 and 104 shall apply as if they were enacted and in terms made applicable to the offense and forfeiture under this act Any commissioned officer on the naval list shall have power during the period limited by the order in council to stop and examine any British ship in the Bering Sea and to detain her or any portion of her equipment or any of her crew if in his judgment the ship is being or preparing to be used or employed in contravention of this section. If a British ship is found within the Bering Sea, having on board fish ing or shooting implements or sealskins or bodies of seals, it. shall lie with the owner or master of such ship to prove that the ship was not used or employed in contravention of this act This act shaU apply to the animal known as the fur-seal, and any marine animal specified by the order in the expression "al" in this act shall be con strued accordingly. Bering Sea and Equipment Defined. The expression "Bering Sea" in this act means the seas known as "Bering Sea" within the limits described in the order in council under this act. The expression "equipment" in this act includes any boat, tackle, fishing or shooting instruments or other things belonging to a ship. In order that the above provisions may be carried into effect it shall be lawful for any commissioned officer on full pay in the military or naval service of Her Majesty, or any British officer of customs, or British consular officer, to seize and detain any ship which has wholly, or as to any shore therein, become subject to forfeiture as aforesaid, and bring her for adjudication be fore the High Court of Admiralty in Eng land or Ireland, or before any court having admiralty jurisdiction within Her Majesty's dominions; and such court may thereupon make such order as it may think fit, and award the officer bringing in the same for adjudication such portion ofthe proceeds of the sale of any forfeited ship or share as it may think fit. Officers Not Responsible for Seizures. No such officer is to be responsible, either civilly or criminally, to any person whom soever respecting the seizure or detention of any ship seized or detained by him in pursuance of the provisions herein con tained despite the fact that such ship is not brought for adjudication, or if brought in is declared not to be liable to forfeiture, if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Judge or court before whom any trial relat ing to such ship or seizure or detention is held that there were reasonable grounds for such seizure or detention; but if no such grounds are shown, such Judge or court may award payment of costs or damages to any party aggrieved and may make such other order in the premises as the Judge or the court thinks fit Every offense by this act declared to be a misdemeanor will be punishable by a fine or by imprisonment, with or without" hard labor. The biU then quotes various sections of the merchant shipping act. as to be ap plied by the new order. It is expected that the bill will be passed next week, and that afterward the council wUl fix the period over which it is to ex tend. The Post, referring to the biU, says that care must be taken that the Alaskan demand for food shall not be made a pretext for the continuation of the seal fishery con vention. BELLE MUST STILL ACT. The New Countess of Clancarty Mnst Keep TJp the Household. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. LONDON, May 30. It is not the late Earl of Clancarty's fault that' Belle Biltbn has become a Countess so soon. He was only 57 years old, and since, his son. Viscount Dunlo, married the music hall young per son, the Earl had token extraordinary care, of himselt, even giving up wine, in order to check a hereditary tendency to gout, which disease, however, has just killed him. After all the old man would not hear of a reconciliation and refused to the last to see his weak-brained son or his bouncing daughter-in-law; The new Earl is not quite 23 years of age, and his interesting Countess is at least seven years his senior in age and about 50 years ahead of him in common sense and knowledge of this wicked world. The Countess of Clancarty cannot be kept ont of the ancestral halls; but as the estates aie heavily mortgaged, 'and as the dead Earl has left all his personal property to his younger son and two daughters, the "household must still be kept going by Her Ladyship's pro fessional earnings. These are now equal to 100 a week, and cannot be increased for the present, save by the permission or doubtful generosity of Augustus Harris who has the lady under contract for a period, of which about eight months are unexpired.

The' result of the North Bucks election has deeply mortified the Tories, who had relied upon Verney's vice giving them an easy victory. The in creased Liberal majority proves odco more that the free educational bribe, with wfiich the Government tried, as in other constitu encies, to suborn agricultural labor ers, is absolutely impotent as an electoral factor and an influential section of the Tory party is urging the Government to abandon the. scheme alto gether. Another section urges the post ponement of the bill until the ngxt session, and both factions are represented in the Cabinet.

TIN PLATE SHUTDOWN. THE "WORKMEN CLAIM THAT THEY ARE BEING HARSHLY TREATED. Unsuccessful Effort to Induce Employers Not to Carry Out Their Intention Gloomy Prospects Ahead A Big Tariff Agitation Going On Over It BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, May 30. The workmen in the "Welsh tin plate trade are endeavoring to persuade their employers not to carry out their intention to shut down for a month from July L The men claim that they have beenharshlyusedand that advantage has been taken of their patient loyalty. The men's demands ore modest enough. They have been persuaded that it is to the gen eral interest of the trade that stocks should be diminished, but they ask that the" month stoppage shaU be of four separate weeks at intervals. This suggestion was finally re fused by the associated employers. But a few have promised to meet the men's wishes to some extent Seventy works, represent ing 396 mills, or over 80 per cent of the trade in South "Wales, Monmouth and Glou cestershire, will shut down by the date ap pointed. The tin plate makers stiU publiclj pro fess a contemptuous disbelief in the possi bility of Americans supplying their own wants in whole or in part But in private the same persons are far from happy. The Sheffield Daily Telegraph, an influen tial provincial newspaper, gloomily pre dicts the ruin of the Welsh trade and ex pects workmen in a few years will have a choice only of emigration, starvation or the poorhouse, unless Americans be fought ''with their own weapons." The same newspaper has discovered that some British ship-owners, in order to avoid Board of Trade regulations in regard to over-trading, ire in the habit of sailing their vessels under 'a foreign flag, while "the fetish misnamed free trade precludes retaliation, for the purpose of protecting British shipping interests from insiduous attacks." The fair traders are awakening to the necessity of extending their propaganda among the masses. Arrangements are being made for a gratuitous distribution of hun dred of thousands of leaflets, etc. They have scored a palpable hit by inducing the Yorkshire Post, a powerful daily newspaper published in Leeds, to open its columns to a letter controversy upon the merits and de fects of free trade, and all Yorkshire is fol lowing the discussion with keen interest One doughty fair trader undertakes to show "the difference between political economy with life, blood, bone and musclo in it, and that extracted from text books which, if ap plied to communities, produce convulsions as certainly as food which does not digest deranges the stomach and throws the system out of gear." SOCIETY IN AUSTRALIA. The Composite Elements That Mate Vp One Colony's Upper Ten. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. LONDON, May 30. An Englishman, writ ing from Ereemantle, "Western Australia, professes to have discovered the reason why that huge colony is not equal at least to New "South "Wales, It - is aUowing, it seems, to the fact thot the domU nant class out there is composed -of weU-to-do men, who were themselves con victs, dfr are sons of felons sent to the colony when it was a penal settlement, and who, in reparation ior youthful or ancestral short comings, consider it their dnty to be conservative in politics and back ward in business. It is probable that when the newspapers, which publish the candid critic's story, .reach Freemantle in the course of the mail, politics and busi ness will alike be merged in a wild anarchi cal effort to identify the writer and mingle his blood with the sewage which he declares abounds in the streets of the town. The measure of the writer's malevolence may be taken from this delicious description of the aristocracy of Freemantle: I buy my tobacco from a man who on board a ship cooked the mate's head for din ner that some of the crew had cut off. I often have business with a master mariner, whose crime was rolling a sailor about up and down deck in a cask, with nails driven through, until he died. My meat I obtain from a wealthy butcher, who was also sent out for his country's good. I touch my hat to a gentleman as he drives to business in his carriage and pair who was here for life for scuttling ships,' theroby losing crews and ships.

Mr. Britt was awakened about 12:30 o'clock by the loud barking of a dog which he kept in the back yard. Th dog kept on barking, and finally Mr. Britt got a lantern and went out to investigate. He found the body of the dead man, dressed only in his under clothing, lying on a stairway leading to the second story. Risch had a room on the third floor, back, and he must have fallen or jumped to the ground, as the window in his room was open. Risch when found showed signs of life, but these soon disappeared. There was a gash about an inch and a half long on his chin and several of his toes were broken, in dicating that he landed on his feet and then fell forward, receiving the cash on the chin.

The man was very morose and would not talk unless the conversation was about mur derers. He showed great eagerness to see the Chicago papers. Some time ago the man went np the Yukon, and he is now at work as a miner on the shores of that river. According to Mr. "Wiggins' story two parties have gone in search of the supposed Tascott THE BLACKLISTED STRIKERS. Thousands of the Men Idle and Despond ent and Are Leaving.

HE KILLED TWO WIVES. STRANGE CONFESSION OF AN MAN AT SACRAMENTO. OLD He Put Arsenic In His First Wife's Whisky . and Smothered the Second No. X Was a Drunkard and No. S Was Worse Orig inal From Ohio. '" Sacraizento, May 30. A strange story came to light here yesterday. Justice of the Peace W. A. Henry was sitting in his office when two men drove up in a cart, and one of them, an old man, asked to see the judge privately. He said his name was John Zwald, and that he lived on a ranch a few miles south of here, near Sutterville. He said his conscience had been torturing him for the past two years, and he had con cluded to make a confession and take the consequence. Zwald was accompanied by his eldest son, and as the latter never heard of his father's crimes, the old man requested him to hear the confession. Zwald then told the -story of how he hod murdered two wives eleven years ago. He said he lived in Ohio with his wife Catherina and four children. Prior to that it had been a happy household, but his wife began to drink and it became impossible to live longer with her. He took two of the children and fled to Minnesota, locating at a place called Anoka. A few months later his wife followed him and the unhappy life was resumed. Finally, Zwald says he be came so exasperated at her drunkenness he concluded to put an end to it. He purchased arsenic and put it in her whisky. She died in two days, and he buried her without caus ing any suspicion. Three years later he moved with his chil dren to Wayne, Neb., and after living there some time married again. His second matrimonial venture, according to his story, was worse than the first, and he had suc ceeded so well the first time in ridding him self of his wife that he tried it again. This time he smothered his wife with the bed clothes. The Coroner of Wayne investi gated the case, but could get no evidence and Zwald escaped. He came to California then and took up his residence near here. Justice Henry believes that Zwald tells the truth. Others who have known him during his residence here say he is not in sane, but has been morose over some great trouble. The matter was reported to Sheriff Stanley, who took Zwald into custody at the latter's own request until the matter could be investigated. .THE ALLEGED LOVER Of Mrs. Ivy Quick-Wood Is Released From Norristown Asylum. , Philadelphia, May 30. Richard Cor son, who figured as one of Mrs. Ivy Quick Wood's lovers, and whose love for her and her subsequent rejection of him was said at the recent examination to have driven him insane, which resulted in his intarceration in the Norristown Asylum, has been re leased. One of the first steps taken by young Corson after his release was to repudiate the charge of loving or having loved Mrs. Ivy Quick-Wood and declare that the corre spondence alluded to was conducted by him under protest That he never had any affea tion for the lady in question and that she is in no manner responsible for his incarcera tion in an. Insane asylum. The correspondence alluded to was carried on after Iw had quarreled with young Wood, and that though he earnestly protested against it she as earnestly insisted, and hers being the stronger will she carried the day.

One hundred thousand Americans will spend at least 5100,000,000 dollars in Europe this year in sight-seeing. They will -rush from one part of the Continent to he other carry ing a little America along with them, and will have their 200,000 eyes worn out with picture galleries and cathedrals, and their 200,000 legs will limp from the effects of their tramp. Their 100,000 stomachs will be turned inside out at least twice by the billowy Atlantic, and their $100,000,000 will be largely spent in discomfort and discon tent Europe they will find to be no longer a foreign country. The tourist has taken its picturesqueness gut of it, and the customs of the people are almost the same as ours. The most foreign country In Christendom can now be reached in a Pullman sleeper, and the only water that needs to be crossed is the ragged little river known as the Rio Grande. Into Almost Another World. Mexico is a land pf different civilization from ours. Its people are a people in them selves, and I find it one of the strangest" v5&. An Aztee Maiden. countries of the world. It is less known in - " guide-book literature than any country in Europe and it is a land of wonders and a continuously "changing kaleidoscope of strange things of both man and nature. We know very little of Mexico. Prescott gave us a picture of the country in the time oftheMontezumas. Passing travelers have written their impressions that came to them while looking out of express trains going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and we have a hazy idea of the Republio as a sort of a tail to the United States. The truth is that the country is an empire in itself, and just what sort of an empire and how much it is worth, even its own citizens do not know. It is supposed that there are about 11,000,000 of ' people in the Republic, but they have never been accurately counted, and the most of them are of a character and race about which the world knows nothing. The men known as Mexicans are the ruling class and these are numbered by thousands instead of millions. Descendants of the Aztecs. The real people of 3Iexico are the Aztecs, millions upon millions of whom have not a drop of Spanish blood in them, and many of whom possess no element of nature in com mon with the Spaniards, the half-breeds or with their civilization. Most of these In dians speak Spanish, but they have their vrLrtA.n V A a.CC.w" ' - - - i Oaeti of the Mexican Plateau. r-: own tongues as well, and it is said there are at least 100 different dialects used,by them in different parts of Mexico.
