(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)
Prague, Dec. 2.——The excitement re-
sulting from the political situation has
led to violent scenes of rioting in this
city, and to the killing and wounding
of a. number of persons who were tak—
ing part in the riotous demonstrations.
The streets Tuesday were filled with
mobs, which paraded up and down the
thoroughfares, smashing windows and
inflicting other damage upon houses
and shops occupied by Germans. The
rioters also invaded German clubs and
cafes, and wrecked sevelal of them.
The outrages were instigated by the
Young Czech party.
The police made several efforts to
quell the disturbance, but such strong
resistance was offered that they were
not very successful. In the conflicts
many of the police received severe in-
juries, while eighty of the rio'ters were
wounded.
The disorders were resumed yester-
day, and they were more serious than
those of Tuesday. All the shops were
Closed throughout the day, their prov
prietors fearing that the 'mob would
loot them.
In the afternoon a Czech mob began
to pillage the houses of Germans and
Jews. They also entered the Institute
of Chemistry- and Anatomy and the
German University, where they, in pure
wantonness, smashed all the valuable
scientific instruments contained in the
institutions.
The situation finally became so seri-
- ous that the aid of the military was in-
voked to restore order. Five thousand
soldiers were distributed in the dis~
turbed quarters of the city, but their
presence did not deter the rioters to
any great extent.
Last evening a collision occurred be—
tween the troops and a mob in the
Zikow quarter. The soldiers were or-
dered to fire' upon the rioters, which
they did unhesitatingly, killing two and
wounding many others. Later a mob
in the Smichow quarter made bonfires
of furniture that had been looted from
German houses and schools. When the
gendarmes attempted to disperse the
rioters a number of the latter drew re-
volvers and threatened to shoot them.
, The officer commanding the gendarmes
. _ , , 1 ; of the mob was:
Please mail me;the I7‘ollovvincr Four 1N vv 1; '
was in no mood to parley with the riot-
ers. He at once gave orders to his men
to fire into the mob with ball cart—
ridges, and a volley was delivered with
most serious effect.
It is reported that there has been
rioting at Pilsen, fifty-two miles south-
west of Prague.
The office of the German newspaper
Bohemia and a large number of Ger-
man and Jewish clubs and saloons were
wrecked and looted. The constant cry
“Down with the Ger—
mans!” “Down with the Jews!” The
Germans and Jews were completely to"—
rorized. ’Nobody dared to utter a word
of German on the streets. German sign
boards were hastily removed or covered
with improvised signs reading “This Is
a Czechist Business.” Ladies who were
compelled to go upon the streets donned
‘ the Slav tricolor in order to avoid in-

Shortly before midnight 01' der \\ as re-

troops were withdrawn. In the suburbs,
the situation is not so safe,

for treatment for injuries sustained at

FROZEN IN SIGHT OF AID.
Cutter Bear Could Be Seen by Dying
thnk-rs on the Ice.
Tacoma', \Vuslm, Dec. 2.—Sslilor Frank
Wyckersham, who has just returned
from an eight months’ whaling trip in
the Arctic Ocean on the steam bark
William Baylies, says his ship was in
company at various times with the
eight Whalers now imprisoned in the
ice least of Point Barrow.
\Vyckersham declares that the men
aboard the ships are not suffering as
is generally supposed. He says the ves-
sels carried a. year’s supplies. Their
men are now enjoying life, and will be
perfectly safe and comfortable until the
ice breaks up next Summer, and they
will probably not experience any hard-r
ship then. '
They can easily reach ‘the shore if
the vessels are crushed. They can kill
bear, seal and walrus around the ships,
and deer are obtainable on land.
W'ycl-zersham does not believe that
the cutter Bear will reach the Whalers
this Winter. He says the Bear was
within five miles when the sailors of
the wrecked Whaler Navarch froze to
death‘on float ice. The sixteen picked
up by the bary Thrasher told him they
saw men walking the Bear’s deck while
their companions were dying.
The Whalers blame Capt. VVhitLM'ide.

\Vashington, Dec. 2.—D1'. Von Helle—

concerning the Haytian controversy!
“I have received'no official instruc—

assumed in the press proportions far
greater than it deserves. .It is simply
a question of collecting an indemnity
for an offense against a German citizen

whatsoever for the reports as to what
The case is
similar, I am told, to many in which
the United States has demanded in~

lics. As this right of demanding and
enforcing the payment of an indemnity
universally recognized, I do not
doubt the case will be settled in the
usual vuy between the immediate par-
ties In interest, Germany and Hayti.
But in any event, it is of too little im‘
portance to attract serious considera- "
tion, and it is needless to conjecture on 1
future probabilities or possibilities.”
The Ambassador declined to discuss
the tariff, but of the general feeling in
Germany he said:
“There is, I am glad to say, the most
kindly sentiment throughout Germany
toward the American people and their
Government.”
As to Germany’s action in increasing

of granite ever quarried in this country
has been placed as the roof stone on
John W. \Iackay’ s immense mausoleum
in Greenwood Cemetery.
The great piece of stone arrived from
Hallowell, Me. It took the quarrymen
four weeks toget the stone in position
for the workmen. The original block
was twenty—two feet square and six—
teen inchesthick and weighed over
fifty tons. The stone was taken to the
'wharf on a huge cart used for trans~
porting locomotives, drawn by thirty-
six horses. It took several days to go
the five or six n1iles.'
The Mackay mausoleum will cost
about three hundred thOusand dollars.
The interior resembles a miniature
church auo ‘ito1ium, with all the evi-
dences of the tomb concealed. It is
heated and lighted by electricity, and
there is room for a priest to say mass

Soon to he Put- in Circulation.
New paper money, printed in differ-
ent colors, will soon be in circrlation.
Some of the designs have already been
prepared, and others are being ex-
ecs ed at the Bureau of Engraving.
All of them will undergo criticism and"
more 01' less alteration before final ac-
ceptance. President McKinley has ex-
pressed his approval of the idea in a
general way, and Secretary Gage is
anxious to issue the notés and certifi-n
cafes as quickly as possible. Being
a bankerehimself, be fully appreciates
the defects of the currency now in the
hands of the people. It may be artis-
tic, but the various denominations are-
-not easily distinguishable from each
other, and even the numerals on them
‘ are obscure 'and hard to make out.
This makes counting troublesome, and
a person has to look sharp- if he would
avoid giving a $5 note for a$1.
H. W'.
MARCUS.
Secretary Gage is of the opinion that
every—day usefulness is of more impor-
tance in the currency of thegnation
than high art. Pretty pictures of re-
cumbent ladies and naked boys are
well enough in their way, but they out
no particular ice, so to speak, in con-
nection with hard and vulgar cash.
The most important point in a. piece
of paper money is thatit' shall be
easily recognized. Its denomination
must be apparent at a glance, and its
kind also whether trmsury note, bank
note or certificate.‘ Of course, safety
against counterfeiting is not to be lost
sight of. It is believed that all of
these requirements are met by the new
designs. Anybody who has a handful
,of these bills will be able to separate
them in an instant into their different
classes, so as to count them offhand
and without scrutiny. At the same
time, the greater simplicity of their
patterns_ will render them actually
more difficult to imitate successfully.
The very elaborateness of the notes-
now in circulation confuses the eye.
For illustrations, take the $1 bill.
The designs for this denomination are
already finished, and are Very' hand-
some. There are only two, one for the
face and one for the back, because all
$1 bills will have the same patterns,
whether certificates, bank notes or
treasury'notes. When you see a bill
with a big spread eagle in the middle
of the face, you will recognize it as a
$1, without even looking at the large
How, then, are you
to understand what kind of a $1 bill
it is? The answer is, simply by the
color in which the big numeral of de-
uomination, the treasury seal and the
number of the bill are printed. If it
is a treasury note, these will be in red;
if a silver certificate, they will be in
green; if a bank note, they will be“
in blue. There will be no Other di f-'
ferences, except that each kinu of bill
will have its own legend. But people
do not want to stop and read the le-
gend in order to find out whether a bill
is a bank note or a certificate. They
do not have to do so, inasmuch as the
color shows that.
The fiber paper is tenbe retained in
the new currency. It is deemed an
extra safeguard against counterfeiting,
though criminals have found several
ways of getting over the difficulty. One
of these methods is to wash the ink
from one dollar bills with'chemicals
and print the designs of higher de-
nominations on the paper thus obtain-
ed. Another is to imitate the appear-
ance of the fibers by printing blank
paper with plates engraved with ir-
regular curliqueues, rubbed over with
red ink. The paper thus treated is
then used for printing the counterfeit
designs upon. As far back as 1869 .»
the treasury printed its notes on paper
which had a single band of fibers, in-
stead of two bands as now. The» single
band was placed on the left of denom-
inations ’nnder $20 and on the right
hand end of higher denominations, the
object being to prevent raising. The
trouble was that people could hardly
be educated up to\the idea. '
It is considered by the treasury ex-
perts that a bill is handsomer for not
being engraved all over. That is the
idea, at all events, which is to be car-
ried out in the new money. They
say that a few scattered designs, very
elaborately executed in the highest
style of art, are most diflicult to coun-
terfeit successfully. The notes of the
Bank of England are astonishingly
simple, having nothing on them but
some rather plain lettering, 1.1a water
marking of the paper being relipd on
chiefly as a, protection against imita- _
tion. One of the queerest pieces of
money in the world is an Irish note for
£1. It has the words “One pound"
printed across it in big letters
