LOXDOK, Jray 30. 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.

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.

DEMANDING A PROTECTORATE.
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.

DEPENDING ON AN 0BDER IN COUNCIL.
London, May 30. 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

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.

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."

cal effort to identify the writer and mingle
his blood with the sewage which he declares

measure of the writer's malevolence may be
taken from this delicious description of the

A Somnambulist Fans Three Stories and
Alights on His Feet.
Patebson, N. J., May 30. Jacob Risch,
aged 62 years, of No. 11 "West street, this
city, was found dead in the rear yard of his
residence at 1 o'clock this morning by
George Britt, the proprietor of the house.
Risch was a somnambulist, and it is sup
posed that he walked in his sleep during
the night out through an open window and
fell to the ground. 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.
A fracture of the skull evidently caused
death.

answering Toscott's description in every
particular appeared there. He did not come
in the usual way, but landed in a canoe.
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

the shores of that river. According to Mr.

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.
AFRAID OF THE ESMERALDA.
The People of Acapnlco Thought Her
Search-Lights Meant Destruction.
Acapulco, via Crrr of Mexico, May
30. The people of Acapulco are very much
relieved by the final departure of the Esmer
alda, after taking in 250 tons of coal paid for
in San Erancisco by Mr. Richard TurnbulL
The Esmeralda will probably go to
Panama, where she will attempt to
nrocure more coal. The people here
were greatly frightened by the use the
Esmeralda made of her brilliant search
lights at night Everybody thought the
town was to be bombarded. It is believed
that the Itata has gone to Melbourne, Aus
tralia, having secretly transferred her arms
and'ammunition to the Esmeralda on May
15, just off Acapulco. The Esmeralda is
well provisioned.
Before leaving one of the superior officers
oftho Esmeralda stated that no complaint
had been made against the Mexican authori
ties, who, he said, had acted in a perfectly
justifiable manner. He repeated that the
greater part of the coal received came for
theni from the United States.
ARGENTINE AFFAIRS GROWING WORSE.

Buenos Ayres, May 30. There has
been a further marked advance in the price
of gold. Gold closed yesterday at 321 per

hour was the scene of excitement aver the
financial situation, which is such that it is
expected to lead to a number of failures.

the effect that the recent revolt in the

Silao, Mexico, May 27. 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

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
