but twenty—seven years Old, he was made

won rare distinction.
In 1850, having been elected professor pl

COALING AT CALLAO.
The Charleston May Be Ordered to
Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, June 1. —-No additional
advices from the Charleston were received
at the navy department, and she is proba-
bly still at Callao coaling. No informa.
tion can be obtained at the department as
to what instructions have been sent her,
but the opinion is that she has received
orders to discontinue her efforts to capture
the Itata. , ,
It is believed that an arrangement for
the peaceful surrender of the Itata has
been made, and that she will be turned
over to this government for trial. The
Charleston ought to finish coaling soon,
and if her machinery is in order proceed
on her voyage, but to what point cannot
be learned here. Some think she will pro-
ceed to Iquique, while others express the
opinion that she will return to San Fran-
cisco and be held in readiness for duty in
Behring sea, should her services be re
“’“quired there.
Leonce Burthe Arrested.
7 ST. LOUIS, June 1.——Leonce Burthe, who,
it was charged, was spirited away to avoid
testifying in the bribery cases at New Or-
leans, has been arrested in East St. Louis,
Ills. In an interview he said: “When the
Hennessy case was called I was drawn on
the panel. Before I was examined and re-
jected F. Armant approached me and said
I would get $51,000 if I got on the jury and
’ found the Italians not guilty. I told him
I could do nothing of the kind, After the
'. trial I told Mr. Parkerson that Edgar
White, the deputy sheriff, had threatened
to kill me if I testified against his friend
Airmant. Yes, I was afraid and left New
orieans and got $1,000.”

A New "Jerseyiflll.
A LIVELY WEEK IN LONDON».
The Baccarat Trial Begins Monday and
Will Be Followed by Numerous i
Equally Unsavory Cases—The
Portuguese in Africa.
LONDON, June 1.—A Hamburg dispatch
says that word has been received in that
city from a prominent manufacturer in
New Jersey, America, that he can find
employment for several hundred of the
exiled Russian Jews. The manufacturer
states in his message, which is addressed
to a Je'wiSh house in Hamburg, that owing
to American immigration laws he cannot
engage these people in advance, but that
he will give them work upon their arrival.
The labor unions in London are much ex-
cited over the prospect of the arrival of
more Russian Jews, and there is reason to
fear that if the immigration is persisted in
at its present rate objection may take the
form of violence.
Am Exile’s Story.
A man named Rosebalt, one of the Rus-
sian Jews exiled from Moscow, tells apiti—
ful story. Two of his four children were
taken from him on the ground that their
names had not been registered, and the,
other two succumbed to the privations of
thejourney to the Russian frontier. He
claims to have relatives in the United
States.
tightness with which they were fettered
when driven from
treatment of the relief committee has re-
vived their courage considerably.
~ Some of the refugees speak in the fiercest
pterms of their Russian persecutors, and
one lad in particular attracted attention
the czar.
language.
one, seeing these people, can doubt that
Russia has sown the seed of future evil for
the Romanofl? dynasty.
Russia’s System of Espionage.
AVicnua dispatch says that the Rus-
sian authorities in \Narsaw have begun a.
vexatious course toward the Jews, the
police making domiciliary visits and de-
manding to see papers. The Jewish mer-
chants have been ordered to comply with
police regulations that have been dead
letters, and that remain so as regards the
Christians of the population. The He-
brews of Warsaw have been thrown into
such consternation by this policy as pre-
saging greater evils. The trades and'in-
dustries of the city are almost entirely in
the hands of Jews, who control both the
higher and lower branches of commerce,
and have :I. monopoly of the brokerage
business, very few of the Jews being en—
casedin patents-139% "was... - ,
The police of Astrachan, Russia, are
vigorously expelling Jews on only a week’s
notice. Similar action is being taken else—
where with more or less vigor. It is esti-
mated that a quarter of a. million will be
driven out.
Beginning with the baccarat scandal on
Monday the British public will be regaled
with a series of sensations, including sev-
eral cases of breach of promise of mar-
giage and a new trial of the notorious
Walpole \Viedemann case, which has al-
ready thrown such a lurid light upon the
state of English society. The Fyfie case
also will shortly come up for trial before a
jury unless Mr. Fyfiedecides to follow the
example of Captain Verney and plead
guilty. Decobain’s friends profess that
there is still a prospect of his returning
home and facing a trial. If so, another
most shameful scandal will be added to
the list. Sir Henry Verney, now in his
nineticth year, father of Captain Verney,
is in a precarious condition of health, and
may succumb at any time, leaving his son
a baronot in prison.
Portuguese Driven Back.
A Cape Town dispatch says that the
British South Africa company has driven
back the Portugues all along the line, and
unless England interfers may drive them
out of East Africa. The news of the Brit-
ish successes was received with great re-
joicing at Cape Town. ,. ,.
Why the Czar Lingered.
ST. PETERSBURG, June l.—-The discovery
of four large boxes of dynamite by the
customs department destined for the
French exhibition at Moscow last Sunday
was part of the reason for the delay of the
czar‘s visit to Moscow. The dynamite
escaped seizure owing to, the concession
that exhibits should pass, the customs un-
opened.
, Invited to Brazil. ,
BERLIN, June l.-——The Berliner Tageblatt
says that fOrty Russian colonists have
been sent hue-k to Russia by the Brazilian
government at its expense to encourage
their relatives and friends to emigrate to
Brazil. This is done to counteract the op-
‘position of the czar’s government to the
emigration of his subjects to Brazil. '
The Triple Alliance.
BERLIN, June 1.—The renewal of the
triple alliance 1s confirmed. France has
been thwarted in her efforts to keep Italy ..
from renewing her part of the bargain.
The Girl Finally Shot Them.
GLEN-FALLS, June 1,—Miss DeMarsh, of
North River, Shot at two men named re-
spectively Casey and Bennett, two local
- toughs, a few nights ago while they were
attempting to force an entrance into her.
dwelling. One bullet plowed through
Casey’s scalp and Bennett Was shot in the ‘
shoulder. Both men were drunk at the
time, and, it appears insisted on calling on
the girl despite her expostulations.
Revolution in Haytl.
PARIS, , June 1.——A cable dispatch re—
. sewed by the Haytian legation in this city
from Port au Prince announces that a
revolution has’broken out there, and that
a state of siege has been proclaimed. The
French government has dispatched an
ironclad to the scene.
