FALSE ENGLISH REPORTS. ;
Attempt tleiug Mhi1 to I'auia
TruubU Wi.h Chill,
Washington, D. C, Nov. 11 Much
indignation is expressed at the state
and navy departments at the conducts
of certain English newspapers in ascrib
ing foolish sentiments and remarks to
Minister Egan and Captain Schley in
connection with the pending questions
between the Chilian and United
States governments. No one be
lieves what the papers as
sert and the opinion held in the depart
ments is that the English papers in
question are engaged in an ell'ort to
foment the growth of a feeling of ani
mosity by the Chilians against the peo
ple of the United States.
In the case of Brazil, no word has been
received from Minister Conger tending
to confirm the story of revolt of three
principal Brazilian provinces which was
also reported from English sources.
There is a disposition here also to at
tribute to English papers a desire to
embarrass the Brazilian authorises who
were responsible lor the negotiation of
the reciprocity treaty with the United
States inasmuch as the arrangement has
already sensibly extended the commerce
between Brazil and the United States.
The closest inquiry has failed to elicit
any further information respecting the
details of the agreement reached by the
United Slates and Great Britain to sub
mit the liuhriiig sea case to arbitration.
Much Uestruouim In the Neighborhood
of Caloutta.
Calcutta, Nov. 10 Further details
regarding the cyclone which passed over
this part of India Monday of last week
show the damage done to be very exten
sive. Besides the loss of 77 lives occa
sioned by the sinking of the Indian gov
ernment steamer Enterprise, which
foundered at Andaman Islands, and the
killing of 60 convicts, there no doubt has
been a large loss of life at other places
along the coast.
Advicen from various parts of Crisua,
a province in Bengal, state that a
cyclone passed over that Bection of coun
try and did great damage. The cyclone
cleared a path through the forests, up
rooting gigantic trees and hurling them
aside as though they were reeds. No
house could stand the terrible energy of
the gale and every dwelling or other
structure within the path of the cyclone
was either swept from its foundations or
. turned over.
Tho wind also did much damage be
low Calcutta, on the well known river,
being the natural outlet for the trade of
the Ganges and the Brahmapootra. The
city is situated on the east bank of the
Hoogly river, the westernmost branch of
the Ganges. The Hoogly river empties
into the bay of Bengal through a num
ber of mouths where a large number of
vessels were at anchor in Buch a position
that when the gale suddenly burst it
was impossible to save many of them.
Numbers dragged their anchors and
were carried ashore and others were
damaged by the pounding received by
enormous seas which accompanied the
storm. No estimate can yet be made of
the total loss of life, but it will be very
large.
Canadian All. u Ltbr rt,
Montreal, Nov. 11 The stevedores
and wharf laborers, who have been in
the habit of going to the United States
for work every winter, are wondering
how the enforcement of the alien labor
law is going to effect them this winter.
From present appearances most of them
will be compelled to stay in Canada. A
number of stevedores from Quebec who
went to Pensacola and other southern
ports, had to return to Canada as the
American authorities would not allow
them to work there.
The Kind -Hearted Czar.
St. Petkksburo, Nov. 11 Some peo
ple sent the Czar presents of large sums
of money on his silver wedding anniver
sary, which he will turn over to those
charged with a distribution of relief in
the famine stricken provinces.
A Naval safr-g;oard.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 10 The sec

naval vessels and forbidding inflama
ble liquids or explosives, except those
permitted by the allowance books, to be
Drought aboard. The order is the result
of the recent explosion in the forehold
of the Atlanta.

THE FIRST EDITION.
"Dear Sib: We take pleasure in an
nouncing to you that the first edition of
your work, "The Swallows," being sold,
a second edition should be printed.
Have the kindness to call at our office,
so that we may make the necessary ar
rangements. Yours truly,
Mashol Brothers,
Publishers.
When I received this letter, said the
celebrated dramatic author, Henry
Didier, I was overcome with joy and as
tonishment, but I was even more aston
ished than delighted.
The first edition of "The Swallows,"
my lirst work, a volume of poetry, ex
hausted ! And I was barely twenty-two
years old, I knew no one in PariB, noth
ing else of mine had ever been printed
except some advertisements! And in
what space of time baa tins unexpected
and astounding result been achieved?
lu a single month 1 Then it was a suc
cess, a real success ! So 1 bad talent ? I
began to 1 e appreciated by my contem
poraries whom I had hitherto slandered,
accusing them of being insensible to all
poetry, and regarding them as stupid
country louts.
W hat a future was before me! Alter
this volume I would write a second one,
at which I had already worked in
fancy ! Then I would produce some
thing for the theatre, the spring board
which launches you all at once into re
nown, glory and prosperity. And why
not a novel also? I began to dream of
psychological essays, with descriptive
scenes, which should be both exact and
interesting. My brain was ou fire. All
the wild ambitions of youth whispered
in my ear. 1 read the welcome letter
again and again. I walked around and
around my room gesticulating violently.
"Well, what does this mean, iny dear
boy?"
My grandfather's face appeared at the
door. A kindly face, c OBely shaven,
with a large nofe. bright eyes shining
behind spectacles, a well combed wig
encircling a smiling countenance.
"Why, grandfather, just read this
letter."
When he had peruse I he said:
"Well, what of it? It seems to me
that your poems are charming."
"But iust think, grandfather, it is an
unexpected succcbs. Nobody reads
Doetrv nowadays."
"People read yours, it seems. You
ought to be satisfied."
"Of course I am."
"Then you are happy?"
"Can you doubt it?"
"No more could be desired."
He opened his snuff-box and took a
pinch, looking at me with his smiling
eyes.
A quarter of an hour later I was at
Massol's store. I sprang up the stairs
to the office of the elder brother, who
was accustomed to treat with authors.
The door of the office was clo.-ed, and
a sound of voices escaped. The pub
lisher was engaged. I sat down upon a
bench and waited my turn. And as I
waited, I recalled my emotion on my
first visit to this publishing house; how
my heart beat as I mounted the Btairs
with my manuscript under my arm, and
how I trembled when I entered Massol's
office.
The office-door opened, and X , a
member of the academy, came out, ac
companied by the smiling and obse
quious publisher. He was successful
author, and they made much of him.
Would I ever climb so high I
Massol beckoned to me in a kindly and
paternal manner. He begged me to be
seated, and installing himself in his arm
chair, said : T
"You received our letter?"
"Yes, Mr. Massol."
"A book of poetry Bold in a month.
Between ourselves. 1 don't understand it
at all."
This was not very nattering, but I
myself had been so much astonished
that I readily excused his astonishment.
"Very curious about your book," he
continued; "people buy it, but no one
talks about it. I never before saw any
thing like that in the publishing busi
ness. Very curious, very curious !"
And he laughed heartily.
It was then and there agreed that
they would at once print 500 copies of
"The Swallows," as more orders might
reasonably be expected. And a few
days later I saw my dear volume majes
tically displayed in the windows of the
bookstores, adorned with the flattering
inscription : Second Edition.
Decidedly I amounted to something.
Nevertheless, Massol's remarks did
trouble me a little. No one talked
about my book, no one seemed to have
read it, except the persons to whom I
had presented it, and they had not said
very much.
Encouraged by this first success, I
went eagerly to work. I wrote my first
play, "Tha Grandmother," which, as
you recollect, was successful at the
Odeon ; then I wrote "The Victims of
Marriage," for the Gymnase ; "The Two
Brothers," for the Comedie Francaise,
and many other pieces. I became a
"well-known authoi," as we say; years
passed, and I scarcely recollected "The
Swallows," a youthful work, a timid at
tempt, now forgotten by the world.
At this period I experienced one of
the greatest griefs of my life ; I lost my
dear grandfather. He "died peacefully,
tended and beloved by all of us to the
last. He possessed one of those rare
natures in which egotism never found a
place, and whose active good-will spared
any pains to give pleasure to those
whom he loved.
I shall always remember the painful
impressions wuicu we uaveexperieuceu,
when, a month after the death of this
.Inn. wala.lira mairant in Vita a w-.a t m nn c,
where we found the old furniture ana
the familiar objects which reminded us
of him. A strange servant opened the
blinds abruptly, being indifferent to an
emotion he could not understand. The
light from without suddenly filled the
rooms, and with it entered a breath of
fresh air, bringing in the noise of the
street. Death gave way to life. And,
with life, its stern duties. The apart
ments of our dear grandfather
were to be rented, and we must
remove the furniture, empty the
closets and clear away for
the new-comer who was to occupy the
rooms. The moving was begun, and I
was painfully affected. It seemed to me
that all that yet remained to recall my
grandfather was about to be scattered
and broken up.
The regular mode of life which bad
existed for more than 30 years seemed
to have left its mark in every part of
this little abode. Each piece of furni
ture removed, and each drawer emptied,
was a memory stirred and uprooted.
One of the company uttered an aston
ished "Oh !" and showed me the lower
portion of a closet which he had just
opened, cried :
"Henry, see here!"
I looked and I saw oh, dear grand
father, dear and excellent man ! I saw
the lower shelves'of the closet filled with
books all alike, leaves uncut, and blue
covers, which Irecognizjd at once: "The
Swallows!" "The Swallows!"
There it was complete, the first edition
of my poems, this edition which was ex
hausted so rapidly, "which people
bought and of which no one spoke," as
Massol bad said. I should think they
didn't speak of it! Grandfather had
bought the whole edition ; be was the
unknown public! Epoch translation

Goldwlu Smlih Reads a Paper on the
Suject to a Reform Club.
Toronto. Nov. 10 Goldwiu Smith
read a paper on "Jingoism" before the
loung Men's Kelorin uiuo nere last
evening. It attracted consideraoie at
tention tor two reasonB ; tirst, Decause
he came out unreservedly for the annex
ation of Canada to the United States,
which, he Baid. was Canada s inevitable
destiny ; and second, because it was the
last political lecture ne win aeuver, as
he intends in the future to confine his
attention to finishing some literary
work he now has on hand.
In the course of his lecture he asked
if "Jingoism" in the dominion really
wished to provoke a war with the Unit
ed States. If so had they measured the
chances of such a war? In challenging
the United States the Canadian Jingoes
always assumed that they have Great
Britain behind them, but they forget
that the great mass of English people
were not in temper to war with Amer
ica on the Canadian question. He had
no doubt that by Americans generally
Canada would be welcomed if she came
into the Union of her own accord.
Two Men and a Boy Killed and Three
Men Madly Injured.
Hayward, Wis., Nov. 10 Two men
and a boy are dying, three men are sen
ously injured and many others are suf
fering from painful wounds, as a result
of a terrific explosion of dynamite,
which occurred early this morning. The
explosion was caused by tire breaking
out m the North Wisconsin Lumber
Company's warehouse. While a crowd
was gathering arourd tne fire the explo
sion occurred.
The injured are: Fred Nelson, John
Lavatt, Keun Davis, D. McWilliams,
Cale Beal, J. n. Wade. Davis was
struck by a huge timber and frightfully
injured. Lavatt had both legs broken
and his chest chrushed in. A freight
train standing on the side track was
blown off the rails and the caboose was
completely demolished.
Railroad Strike at ot. Louis.
St. Louis, Nov. 10 Engineers and
firemen of the Belt Line have just de
clared a strike. This will probably
spread to other lines, as Mr. Arthur
stated no freight will be bandied by
Brotherhood men going to the Belt
Line or the Wiggins' Ferry Company,
Sister of a Lord Drowned.
Dl'blin, Nov. 10 Today while some
keepers were walking along the shores
of Lake Nass they saw something in the
water and procuring implement dragged
a body ashore. u pon landing it was
found to be that of Rose Lawler, the
youngest sister of Lord Cloncuroy. The
family was immediately notified. It is
a matter of conjecture as to how the un
fortunate lady met her death.
Blaine In Farorlte.
Tofkka, Kas., Nov. 10 Two hundred
representative Republicans held a love
least nere last nigut, to celebrate tne
Kepublican gains last election and to
outline the plan of campaign for 1802.
fresidential possibilities were discussed
and the prevailing idea seemed to be
that Blaine will be the most popular
candidate the Republicans could put at
the head of their ticket.
Repairs on Naval Ships Being Pushed
1 With All Possible Speed.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 10 Beyond
the statement that orders for hurrying
up work on the Atlanta were prompted
by the recent troubles in Brazil, and
that she will probably be assigned to
that station. Secretary Taacy will say
nothing regarding the movements of
the new navy, but nothing has trans
pired to change the belief that the New
ark, Atlanta, Concord and Bennington
will start for foreign waters iust as soon
as they are ready and that the Phila
delphia will accompany them.
Kear-Aamirai Gherardi reported his
arrival yesterday at St. Thomas. How
long he will remain there cannot be
learned. The presumption is that if he
has not already had instructions to
steam on to the Pacific he will continue
to rendezvous in the vicinity of St.
Thomas until he has received further
orders.
Word has also been received of the ar
rival of the San Francisco at Acapulco,
en route from Callao to the Mare Island
navy yard for repairs. It is the purpose
of the department to have her continue
north without delay, and upon arrival
of the Yorktown at Valparaiso, to order
the Baltimore north that she, too, may
be put in a serviceable condition at the
earliest possible moment.
The Atlanta, Bennington and Concord
will be ready for sea Friday or Saturday
next, but their destination or their time
of sailing is not known at the navy yard
at Brooklyn. The Atlanta will leave
the dry dock on Thursday.
A well-informed official at the navy
yard said today that he did not see how
the work needed on the Miantonomah
could be finished in two weeks' time.
As it is they are working on her from 6
a. m. until 9 p. m. The secretary of the
imvy ia ueiuruiuieu mm uatuu snip suau

soon be made.
Tariff Cases Postponed.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 10 The

The Ccar's Quiet Celebration.
St. Petekhblbo, Nov. 10 Though the
Czar celebrated his silver wedding yes
terday at Livadia in an extremely quiet
manner, the occasion being marked by
no state festivities of any description,
the event was an occasion of much
hearty comment and congratulation
throughout the empire. In larger cities
the day was celebrated by many ban
quets and in the evening a number of
balls were given.
THE WAITING JULIET.
Extract From the Memoirs uf Gabriel
Foote, Highwayman.
The house in question was what Peter
the Scholar (who corrects my proof
sheets) calls one of the rusinurby sort
front facing a street aud the back look
ing over over a turfed garden, with a
lime tree or two, aluburnum and a lawn
tennis court marked out, its white lines
olain to Bee in the starlight. At the
end of the garden a door, painted a dark
green, led into a narrow lane between
high walls, wnere, n two persona met,
one naa to turn Biuewaye to let tne
other pass. The entrance to this lane
was cut in two by a wooden post about
the height of your hip, and just beyond
this, in the nign roaa, Lreorge was wait
ing for us with the dog-cart.
We had picked the usual time the
dinner hour. It had just turned dark
and the church clock, two streets away,
was chiming the quarter after 8, when
Peter and I let ourselves in by the green
door I spoke of, and felt a'ong the wall
for the gardener's ladder that we knew
was hanging there. A simpler job there
never was. xne Deuroom window on
the first floor stood right open to the
nil-tit air, and inside was a laint candle
light flickering, just as a careless maid
will L ave them after her mistress has
gone down to dinner. To be sure, there
was a chance of her coining back to put
them out ; but we could hear her voice
going in the servants' hall as we lilted
the ladder and rested it against the sill.
"She's good forha!f-a-houryet," Peter
whispered, holding the ladder while 1
began to climb; "but if I hear her voice
stop I'll give the signal to be cautious."
I went up softly, pushed my head en
tly above the level of the Bill and looked
in.
It was a roomy place, with a great half
tester bed, hung with curtains, standing
out from the wall on my right. The
curtains were of chintz, a dark back
ground, with flaming red poppies sprawl
ing over it; and the further curtain hid
the dressing-table, and the candles upon
it and the jewel-case that I confidently
hoped to stand upon it also. A bright
Brussels carpet covered the floor, and
the wall-paper, I romember though,
for the life of me, I cannot tell why-
was a pale-gray ground, worked up to
imitate watered silk, with sprigs ot gut
honeysuckle upon it.
I looked around and listened for half
a minute. The house was still as death
up here not a sound in the room or in
the passages beyond. With a nod to
Peter to hold the ladder firm, I lifted
one leg over the Bill, then the other,
dropped my feet carefully upon the
thick carpet, and went quickly round
the bed to the dressing-table.
But at the corner, and as soon as ever
I saw round the chintz curtain, my
knees gave way, and I put out a hand
toward the bed-post.
Before the dressing table, and in front
of the big glass in which she could see
my white face, was an old lady seated.
She wore a blaze of jewels and a low
gown, out of which rose the scraggiest
necK and shoulders i nave ever looked
on. Her hair was tnicx with black dye
and fastened with a diamond star. Be
tween the two candles the powder
showed on her cheek-bones like flour on
a miller's coat. Chin on hand, she was
gazing steadily into the mirror before
her, and, even in my fright, I had time
to note that a glass of sherry and a plate
of rice and curry stood at her elbow,
among the rouge-pots and powder-pull's.
While I stood stock-still and pretty
well scared out of my wits, she rose,
still staring at mv image in the glass,
folded her hands modestly over her
bosom, and spoke in a deep, tragical
voice :
"'The prince!"
Then, facing sharply round, she held
out her thin arms.
"You have come at last?"
There was not much to say to this ex
cept that I had. So I confessed it. Even
with the candles behind her, 1 could see
her eyes glowing like a dog's, and an
uglier poor creature this world could
scarcely show.
Is the ladder set against the win
dow !
"Since you Beem to know, ma'am,"
said I, "it is."
All, Komeol x our cheeks are
ruddy your poppies are too red."
Then I'm glad my color's come
back ; for, to tell the truth, you did give
me a turn iust at first. You were looking
out for me, no doubt "
My prince! She stretched out her
arms again, and, being pretty well at
my wits' end, 1 let her embrace me. "It
has been so long," she said; "oh, the
weary while! And they ill-treat me.
Where have you been all this tedious
time ?"
I was going to answer that, vou mav
be sure. Bv this, 1 had recovered my
self sufficiently to guess what waa near
the truth that this was a mad aunt oi
the family below, and that the game was
n my hands if I played with decent
care, bo 1 met her .question with an
other. "Look here," I said; "I'm running a
considerable risk in braving these per
secutors of your'n. lladn t we better
elope at once?"
1 am ready."
"And the jewels? You won't leave
them to your enemies, I suppose."
She turned to the dressing table,
lifted her jewel case, and put it into my
handa.
"I am ready," Bhe repeated ; "let us
be quick and stealthy as death."
She followed me to the window and,
looking out, drew back.
"What horrible, black depths!"
"It's as easy," said I, "as pie. Y'ou
could do it on your head look here."
I climbed out first and helped her, Bet
ting her feet on the rungs. We went
down in silence, I choking all the way
at the sight of Peter below, who was
looking with 1ub mouth open and his
lips too weak to meet on the curses and
wonderment that rose up from the
depths of him. When I touched turf
and handed him the jewel case, he took
it like a man in a trance.
We put the ladder back in its place
and stole over the turf together. But
outside the garden door Peter could
stand no more of it.
"I've a firearm in my pocket," whis
pered he, pulling up, "and I'm going to
nre it on to relieve my feelings, H you
don't explain here and now. Who, in
pity's name, is she?"
"You mug she's the Original Sleep
ing Beauty. I'm eloping with her, and
you've got her jewels.
"Pardon me, Jem," he says, in Iiis
gentlemanly way, "if I do l't quite see.
Are you taking her off to melt her or
marry her '! For how to get rid of her
el Be "
The poor old creature had halted, too,
three paces ahead of us, and waited
while we whispered, with the moon
light, that slanted down into the lane,
whitening her bare neck and flashing
on her jewels.
"One moment," I said, and stepped
forward to her; "you had better take off
those ornaments here, my dear, and
give them to my servant to take care of.
there's a carriage waiting for us at the
end of the lane, and when he has stowed
I them under the seat we can climb in
! and drive off "
I "To the end of the world to the very
, rim of it, my hero."
She pulled the gems from her ears,
hair and bosom and handed them to
I Peter, who received them with a bow.
I Next she searched in her pocket and
drew out a tinv key. Peter unlocked
the case, and, having carefully stowed
the diamonds inside, locked it again,
handed back the key, touched his hat,
and walked off toward the dog-cart.
"My dearest lady," I began, as soon
as we were alone between the high
walls, "if the devotion of a life "
Her bare arm crept into mine. "There
is but a little time loft for us in which
to be happy. Year after year 1 have
marked oil the almanac ; day by day I
have watched the dial. Isaw my sisters
married, and my sisters' daughters; and
still I waited. Each had a man to love
her and tend her, but none had such a
man as 1 would have chosen. They
were none like you, my prince."
"No, I dare say not."
"Oh, but my heart is not so cold.
Take my l and it is firm and strong;
touch my lips they are burning "
A low whistle sounded at the top of
the lane. As I took her hands I pushed
her back, and, turning, ran for my life.
1 suppose that as I ran I counted 40 be
fore her scream came, and then the
sound of her feet pattering after me.
She must have run like a demon, fori
was less than 10 yards ahead when Peter
caught my wrist and pulled me up on
to the back seat of the dog cart. And
before George could set the horse going
her hand clutched at the flap on which
my feet rested. It missed its grasp and
she never got near enough again. But
for half a minute I looked into that hor
rible face following us and working with
silent rage ; and lor half a mile at least
I heard the patter of her feet in the
darkness behind. Indeed, I can hear it
now. CJ., in 8. F. Argonaut.

sire to arouse sectional animosities or
passions engendered by the war; give
us loyalty and in return we will giv6
you fraternity.' "
You have demonstrated your fratern
ity on numerous occasions, but when
comrades joined in the recent cere
monies in honor of the memory of a
patriotic journalist and philanthropist
they found their fraternity con
fronted with the emblem of treason
which is an evidence to you that there
still lurks in the hearts of a few a desire
to display that flag to inspire the young
generation of the South to rebellion.
Any comrade wearing the badge or uni
form of the order participating in any
demonstration where the rebel flag is
displayed violates his obligation and
brings disgrace upon the order of which
he is a member.
"While the commander in chief has
neither the right nor disposition to in
terfere with individual rights or priv
ileges of the members of the order he
assumed the obligation to protect it
against any and all acts that
will bring reproach upon its good
name. With these words of
admonition I have sufficient confidence
in your honor and fidelity to the prin
ciples of the order to feel that there will
be no further participation in any
demonstration or parade where the em
blem of treason is carried or displayed."
This Government's Present to Samoa
Not a Gold Mine.
Washington, D. C, Nav. 7 After the
navy department secured the paymas
ter's eafe and other valuables from the
wrecks of the American men of war lost
in the hurricane at Apia, Haoioa, the
wrecks themselves were given to the
Samoan government. The gift
proves to be a white elephant
to King Malietoa, for, accord
ing to information received here,
there are no appliances to raise the
wreckage, but alter many inquiries a
San Francisco firm was found who un
dertook to recover parts of the values,
on condition tnat they were to be sold
in Ban Francisco and the proceeds di
vided equally between the wreckers and
the Bamoans. When the wreckage was
ready to ship to the United States,
the collector of customs at Ban Francisco
held it must pay duty and the treasury
department sustained that opinion. As
a close computation shows the duty im-
Eosed would exceed the sum which can
e realized from the saleof the wreckage.
King Malietoa is not particularly grate
ful for the present made to his people by
the United States government.
