The other convents in Pitts g subject to the mother house were rep nted in almost every instance in a body, these, with the diocesan clergy, found erical gathering that has been rarely aled, and certainly never outdone in tsburg. A wonderfully vigorous woman her age, Mother Elizabeth went every sre yesterday receiving congratulations attentions in all directions.

And regulation spoons for a bride and silver . were there in abundance, 'he novelty of the day came in the after n, when the children of the house schools sented an operetta, preceded by a jubilee rch. It began at 3 o'clock in the after n, and Mother Elizabeth and Bishop ;ian Dotn were present, occupying cial chairs near the stage. A ngent rule forbade the presence a secular, and, therefore, y the Siters and priests viewed the pcr Jiance. Even the parents of the little s wouldnot be admitted, but to-day, lor ir especial benefit, a second performance 1 be given. In the jubilee march a mam th nosegay of pink and white roses and a wn were presented by two little girls to hop Phelan and by the Bishop to the ther. The Miracle of the Koses" was the title the operetta, which is founded on the ry so well known to every little Catholic Id of St Elizabeth and the miraculous asformation of loaves of bread into utilul roses. As the story is somewhat ;uely remembered, the operetta seems to c a few liberties with it and by a second acle causes the roses to be replaced by more mundane loaves of bread, "he young girls who bore the principal ;s with these roles were as follows: Mq. , afterwards Elizabeth, Miss Nona Reed; ly Clare, afterwards Landgrave of Thu 71a, Miss Lulu Minick; Mixtrca of the ool, Miss Alice Larkin; Pholoe, Miss lie McNamara; GrazleHa, a dumb girl, ss May Sweeney; Madeleine, a poor girl, ss Kate Fitzgerald; Jane, Anna, Margo kmaid, scholars; Miss Bertha Burns, ss Grace Daschbach, Miss Mary Dasch :h, Miss May VogeL An Odd and Pretty Novelty.

The election is biennial and it is not own for a Mother to succeed herself. A .ond term afterward, however, is not im jsible. "When a Mother Superior steps wn lrom her high rank she becomes again the Sisters: are and is equally tributary th them. The rank of "Mother" remains th her merely as a courtesy title and in ates nothing except a tmst dignity, tf oilier Elizabeth occupies a unique posi n at the Mother House in Pittsburg, ither Superiors have come and gone since r reign. Some have been removed to ivents springing from the parent tree and others have died, but the last of the seven founders remains in a sense as paramount as In the days of her most brilliant mothership. She is deferred to revered and beloved and In sentiment, almost in fact, still holds her noble office, with another Mother Superior as tegent. There is no position similar to that held by Mother Elizabeth in America, possibly in the world, but then she is a unique woman, a part of a preceding gen eration living to see the present generation grow middle aged. LOTS OF TEOUBLE FOE LTJ8TM. RUSSIA AT CHICAGO. AH Parts of the Vast Empire to Be Bepresented at the Fair in A STRANGE, PICTURESQUE SHOW. Uliter Fire-Eaters re Still Indulging in Some Eig War Talk. to He Is Released From the Workhouse Confront Many Charges. Irwin Luster, a colored man, was arrested yesterday by Detective Kornman, of Alle gheny, on charges of felonious assault, sure of the peace and assault and battery, preferred against him by as many different people. The first charge is preferred by Marie Yogel, a white girl who resides at Glenfield, and who alleges that he crimin ally assaulted her. The surety of the peace charge is lodged by Chris Segenglen, of Glendale, who alleges that the prisoner at tempted to break into his store and threat ened his life. The third charge is made by Constable McCIeary, of Glendale, who at tempted to arrest Luster for threatening the storekeeper's life, and the prisoner not only got away from him, but gave him a body beating. Mr. Luster seems to be a badly wanted man, as Secretary Dorente, of the Anti Cruelty Society, has also entered suit against Inm before Alderman Uahill lor felonious assault on a 15-year-old girl named Dora Lightner, a resident of Alle gheny. The prisoner was only yesterday released from the workhouse after serving a SO days' sentence for disorderly conduct.

GLADSTONE IS OPPOSED TO EIGHT HOURS TEE DEHANDS OF COMMEECK For s Canal iu the Mate of Washington to Connect It ltb Paget Bound. Washington, June 16. When the re port of the conference committee on the river and harbor bill was under considera tion in the Senate to-day Mr. Squire madea forcible speech in favor of an appropriation of $500,000 to commence the work known as the Washington Canal, in the State of Washington, connecting Lake Washington with Paget Sound. The great benefit that the canal would confer upon commerce was, he said, out of all proportion to the amount of money to be expended. This work, he asserted, would not only be of immense value to the great and rapidly growing city of Seattle, but to the State of Washington, the entire Pacific coast and the national in terests of the United States.

These Russian exhibitors are from all parts of the Russian Empire, from St Petersburg to Moscow, from Central Kussia, the Baltic Provinces, Poland.

The greater part of thi. Russian ministries will be represented at the Exposition by specialists to watch over the distribution of the objects which the Government depart ments will send there. M. Dobron Izsky seemed particularly delighted witlt the artistic specimens, draw ings, reliefs and models which the drawing schools of Stragonow, of Moscow, and Stleglitz, of St Petersburg, intend to send to Chicago, as well as with the instruc tive catalogue or the Russian section, which will contain abundant information upon the industrial, commercial and artistic con dition of the Russian empire. The Russian Government has already given 50,000 roubles for the preliminary ex penses of the organization of the Russian section, and the Government will have to spend agreat deal more money in the future, since at the Philadelphia exposition of 1876 the Russian section cost the Government 400,000 roubles. At Chicago the Russian section will 'com prise 12 classes of exhibits, of which that of manufactured articles promises to be the most interesting. These classes will be: Agriculture and horticulture; winemak log, gardening and kitchen gar dening; cattle, domestic animals and game; fish, fishing and pisciculture; mines, the mining industry and metallurgy: machinery; means of locomotion: industrial proteotion; electricity; fine arts; the liberal arts; ethnology; archeology; and the prog ress of labor and inventions. killed a mutinous stoker, has been reduced I at the Bacue on his QDneal, to three months.

For the Ulster Unionists' Convention which opens in this city Friday an enormous pavilion has been erected. Among the papers to be presented to the convention is one entitled, "Passive Resistance; or, the Position of Ulster in Cer tain Contingencies." The writer is himself a delegate to the convention, but his iden tity is not revealed. The pamphlet is of special Interest to America on account of the parallel the writer constantly draws be tween the possible situation in Ulster and. that of America in 1775. He declares that in me event oi tne estsoitsnment or a sep arate, Irish, Parliament and an executive, "We have resolved that we will meet its laws, its administration and its taxes im posed, with passive resistance." It will be necessary for the constituencies of Ulster to actively ignore the new authority by re fusing to allow elections to take place. It is not too much to say besides that It is not the business of the army to assist in the auppression of evon actual . resistance against a colonial Government, and Ireland would become a colony in the event of home Tule being granted. There is no Instance dnnng the present century of the Queen's army acting against colonial lebels. except in the case or Canada in 1838, when there wa not passive resistance, but an open and warlike movement against the Queen and her Empire. Geographically, Ulster is better S laced for the defense of Itself from the outh than the South Is placed for defense from Ulster. Our metropolis and principal port is almost unassailable, while Dublin conld be laid open to a dlreot and Immedi ate attack. On tha whole, our merely mili tary strategical position Is a great deal Better than tha -strategical position of tne three Southern provinces. A Banquet Closes the National Convention In This City.

A suit with great possibilities in its outcome was filed yesterday In the Common Pleas Court by W. W. Johnson & Co., Rheinstrom & Co.t and one or two other firms engaged In the ale of whisky. It is to restrain the Queen and Crescent and the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad Companies from carrying into effect the new rates of freight on whisky to the South, The complainants allege that the dis crimination against Cincinnati and in favor ofNewYorkis so great, that it will ruin ther whisky trade in the South entirely. They append a table of rates to various Southern points, which shows that while rates from Cincinnati are Increased from 28 per cent at the lowest to 90 per cent at the highest point those from New York are increased at a range of only 4J to 7J per cent The vital point in the case is the claim made by the complainant that the corpora tion holding a franchise as common carrier cannot delegate to another association the duty of fixing rates, and that such delega tion of power is in contravention of inter State commeroe law. It this point is upheld by the court it will put an end to the South ern .Railway and Steamship Association, which fixed these rates. A. temporary re straining order was granted.

GLADSI0HE ROT FOB EIGHT H0ITC& Bis Reply to the Z.abor Delegation Leaves Them No Hope From Ills Party. Londok, June 16. A deputation of workingmen, representing the various trades of the metropolis, visited Glad stone this morning at his residence in Carlton House Terrace. Their object was to call his attention to the subject of labor legislation and the eight-hour law. Mr, Gladstone said home rule blocked the way, and even were this not so, the eight hour question was one he could not deal with at the present time. He was not pre pared even to admit the righteousness of the principle in any way. On the eve of a general election this action might prove ex ceedingly harmful to the Liberals, had not Lord Balisbury, on the other side, adopted similar tactics. HEW GRAIN EXCHANGE OFFICIALS.

' The retiring President, Mr. James Her ron, presented a report to the Exchange, in which he said: "The attendance at our daily meetings and the interest taken la th? Exchange is very gratifying and en couraging. The growing crops do uot look as prosperous as they did last year, but the surplus of last year's production will, with out doubt, make up for the deficiency in this year's shortage. Although our sales on public call have not been as large the Sast year as they have been previous years, ealers are brought together daily by the Exchange, and an opportunity is thus afiorded to each member to gain a knowl edge of the supply on hand. The member ship of our Exchange has been diminished slightly during the year. We have lost by death Mr. Thomas, McMichael, one of our old and valued members, and eight other members who were once with us are no longer enrolled.
