The signers ask the Russian government to address the Czar diplomatically in regard to this treatment or exiles.

London, May 17. -Sir John Millars is a friend of lifiss Tenant, Stanley's affianced bride. To perpetuate her cliarms, he put her into his famous picture. Yes or no,'' for which he induced her to -kisc as a model. "Yes or Xo is one of Sir John's most charming creations. It represents a tall, graceful girl m a simple, dark, closely cJmgmg costume, standing with an open letter in her hands, which arc clasped behind her back. She is meditating upon the answer she shall m&keto the letter, which evidently contains the question of questions, the reply of which will afiect her whole life. The struggle in her lovely face is pictured with the fine sensibility of an artist. This portrait picture grew out of a casual qncstiou Sir Jbhu once asked Miss Tennant. The attitude of reflec tion which she unconsciously assumed before making a reply struck the eye of t&e artist He transferred the little scone io canvas. pThe present iossessor of the work, is well acquainted with Miss Ten nant, is aware of her share in its production, knows of her engagement to Stanley, ami now proposes to change the title from Yes or Xo" to, "Yes,' and will send the picture to the bride as a wedding present- Sue is a tall and handsome brunette. The attachment began long ago. The engagement was made before his last departure for Africa. Picnic Settle thai Iivorce. Special to Tn k Astoriax.J London, May 17.

IT IIS, SILLVES -LSI) ITAIIt CUTS. The Chief Executive Allowed Very Little Senators and Representatives Get Nearly Everytbinz They Want. All things considered, the office of president of the United States is rather bare of perquisites. Probably he has fewer such than any great ruler in the world. Beyond a few articles in the vegetable way the nation pro vides him with very little in addition to his salary of 50,000 a year. He has even to pay out of his own pocket the wages of his cook and maidser vants, as well as the hire of his coach man and the price of the fodder for his horses. "When he gives a state dinner, which is clearly an official and not a personal affair, he has to pay for the feed. Not only does he not get anything cheaper than other people on account of being president, but he has actually to give more than ordi nary folks for whatever he buys. The moment it is known that he desires a p air of horses, the price of the animals jump 50 per cent It is the same way with everything. As for horses and carriages, the president must buy his own. Tt is true that the president does have some things allowed him. He has his dwelling rent free, which means that he is permitted to occupy a few rooms upstairs in an oflice buildimr called the Executive man sion. "Whcu ho gives an entertain ment the rooms wherein he receives his guests arc decorated for him in the highest style of the art with plants and flowers from the great city green houses, supplemented by what the white house conservatories are able to supply -all free of charge. Suppos ing that the entertainment is a din ner, all the equipments of the table including the napery, silver, china, glassware, mirrors aud other center pieces, as well as the floral decorations are provided gratis. In fact all such accoutrements, as well as supplies of linen aud furniture ot all sorts requis ite, are placed at the president's disposal. When the things wear out congress replaces them by appropria tion. Only a little while ago S5.000 w;is paid for a new china set for the president. Although the chief magis trate ot the United States has to pay his own cook and chambermaids, a butler and housekeeper are paid by the government to take care of his dwelling. The butler is a bonded officer, known officially as the "steward," whose duty it is to look after the domestic affairs of the estab lishments. He sees to the heat and lighting- both of them supplied at the nation's expense and purchases all the provisions for the president's household. The housekeeper super intends all such things as ordinarily come uuder the supervision of a per son acting in that capacity. It is true that the chief executive must provide his own horses, carriages and coach man; but one strictly official tournout is given him, with a groom in addition. Also, there is appropriated each year SS,000 for white house stationer', telegrams, library books and other contingent expenses. THE PRESIDENT'S YACHT. Last, but not least, a yacht is placed at the president's disposal by the navy denarlment the United States steamer Dispatch, which is already kept ready for his orders and service. Mr. Cleveland would never make any use of the Dispatch, but no other president has ever entertained any scruples on the subject. Mr. Arthur found the vessel especially available as a oleasurc craft Mr. Harrison had one funny experience on board of her not long ago. He had to make an j address from the deck to a crowd of people at the navy yard here. But, just as he was starting in, Baby Mc Kee set up such a howl that the presi dent was obliged to take the interest ing infant from the arms of a naval lieutenant and carry him while he concluded the speech, the vociferation of his small grandchild almost drown ing his own oratory. After all, perhaps it would not ap pear that the president is so very bad ly off as to perquisites. Cabinet offi cers have more reason to complain. They have absolutely nothing outside of their salaries of SS.OOO a year save an equipage apiece, and that is only obtained by a very loose construction of the law, which provides two horses and a carriage for each department It has been customary through many administrations for the secretaries to use these official equipages for their private purposes. Secretary of agri culture Busk, when he was appointed to his present position, for the pur pose .is he on one occasion expressed it of 'keeping the Hies off of the ad ministration" provided himself, for the department, with the finest pair of horses in "Washington, and a brand new carriage of a fashion somewhat out of style, the coachman sitting low down instead ot aloft In this vehicle the ladies of the family make their social rounds. Sec retary Noble also has a stunning pair of department horses and the swiftest kind of a victoria. Secretary Blaine's carriage is like Mr. Buskin's only not so new. This is the only cabinet perk," and it must be said that the secretaries are fairly entitled to it, in asmuch as their official situation ira noses on them certain duties of a social nature which ought not to be permitted to draw from their slender nav. Members ot the cabinet can and do get flowers and even plants from the horticultural gardens ot the city, near the Washington monument, for deco rative purposes when they give enter tainments; but this is nofin the same sense a perquisite, inasmuch as they depend for such favors entirely upon the good will ot the superintendent ol public grounds. If he chooses to oblige them in this way, they get the things and not otherwise. Many con gressmen and other persons of distinc tion are similarly supplied by the courtesy of the high official who con trols all the parks, public buildings and things that grow in the capital city of the Union. THE COKGItESSMAK. It is an eccentricity peculiar to the average congressman that bashfulness never restrains him from asking for anything. The principle he goes on seems to be that a member of the na tional legislature should get whatever lie wants free. Being unable to pro cure quite as much as this, he tries to approach it as nearly as possible. How far he carries it successfully is illus trated to some extent by the fact that he expects the nation to cut his corns for him, if he has any, free of charge and the nation does, too, as will be explained later on. The other day your correspondent was interviewing CoL MacDonald, the fish commiseioner, when "who should walk in and introduce himself to the colonel but Representative Martin of Texas, long, lank and grim-looking. Said he: "I want you to give me some gold fish and one of those big tanks of glass that you have such a lot of down C3WU.k.O Jk.Jl IsUU ClUlX CUi I.' .J .' house, I suppose?" The fish commissioner replied that he could not possibly spare one of his large aquaria, and finally compromised on a glass bowl full ot goldfish, which he said he would duly deliver. After gentleman from the Lone Star state had taken his departure, CoL Mac Donald informed the writer that such applications were constantly made to him by congressmen. In one case, not hitherto reported, a western representative was seriously offended because he was not given special per-! mission to fish in the carp propagating I ponds at the base of the monument When they want to obtain free gifts I of plants, congressmen are obliged! nowadays to apply to the department J of agriculture. Formerly they used to make requisitions upon the horlicul- ( tural gardens, but they carried their demands to such excess some mem-, bers expecting as many as 700 plants annually, enough to stock a small florist's shop that a law was passed prohibiting the giving away of any thing at all from the city green houses, though thousands of rose bushes and other things of the sort are thrown out at certain times ot the year, and any one can have them for the picking up. Congressmen, however, want them in pots, sent home without charge for expressage. They are apt to get anything of any sort, too, at the ! UCjIUllillUUlOf WT4U &AS HiU Wil I v vw can exert over appropriations. Another congressional perquisite is free telegraph. A majority of the representatives enjoy it To any member who chooses to apply for it nVomntly macle-th; J Western Union ' company sends as a matter of courtesy I a little "book containing 100 stamps, each oue about twice the size of a postage stamp. One of the stamps ' stuck upon a telegraph blank franks a I message and makes it deadhead. "When the hook is exhausted the congressman sends for another one. Stinulation is made by the company that such free telegraph shall relate exclusively to domestic matters, but there is the best possible reasou for believing that the regulation in question is much stretched. PRIVH.EGES ABUSED. Until comparatively recently con- upon he encountered something that gressmen were permitted by law to ' made him gasp with astonishment. In frank all sorts of packages and things, company with a bailiff he went into a and they worked the privilege to such saloon, and there on a table he saw an an extent that the abuse had to be sat elaborate lunch "of the free species, down upon. Barrels, boxes, suits of There was a roast as large as a horse clothes, everything imaginable, they ' block, a half-bushel of slaw, an enor dispatched free in this way. Even mous baked fish and a number ot other now, when they are permitted only to , appetizing features, frank public documents and letters on ; Hanged er they don't bTeve in eat ofiicial affairs, the privilege is made iu jn here, anvhow," said Bill, as he to serve illegitimate purposes, to a great extent. Free shaves and hair-cuts arc per quisites of senators, but not of repre sentatives, though why this distinction is made it is not easy to find out As a matter of fact, however, the barbers who operate just off the cloak room of the lower house charge the usual tariff for their services, while at their end of the capitol the senators pay nothing at all for tonsorial attentions, preferring to support razors aud scis sors about their august heads out of the contincent fund. This is a great economy, reflecting to advantage ( upon II1U W1SUUIU ui iuo euyca uu oik j at the feet of Yice-President Morton. It has been thought judicious to en courage the habit of bathing among congressmen, and with this end in view baths were made free for both house and senate, it being thought that no member would be likely to resist indulgence in anything thatj was gratis. Thus it happens that: members ot the lower house even do not infrequently bathe at the capitol, where tubs are provided, and likewise attendants to rub down, draw water and offer towels. Liberal members often give the at tendant 50 cents for such services, but it is averred that senators are usually too dicmified to offer tips. If there is anything to be paid the senate prefers to pay it out oi uie conuuguuii nuiu. The house has also a special officer iu the person of a chiropodist, who min isters to the afflicted feet of represen tatives free ot charge. They may give him something if they like. Each member ot congress has as a perquisite S125 worth of stationery. Formerly "stationery" included such things as mouchoir cases, opera glasses, clocks, brushes, combs, etc, all of wliich were kept in stock by the big government stationors' shops at either end ot the capitol building. In those times senators and representatives were accustomed each year to lay in their supplies of Christmas presents from their stationery allowance; but alas! the privileges of the national legislator are being sadly cut down year by year. It is even proposed now to take away his power of direct ing the appointment of fourth class postmasters in his district. How ever he is still entitled yearly to about 1,000 volumes of public bdbks per haps GOO of them agricultural reports and the latter, at all events, it he is not from an agricultural district he can sell and does sell to a second-hand dealer or fellow-member at the uniform rate of 10 cents a piece. Here is a source ot income in itself. Also he receives 5,000 small packages ot seed, for distribution among his con stituents. Congress appropriates $100, 000 for this purpose each year. MILEAGE. Nor would it do to leave out the point about mileage. Each member, by law, gets 10 cents for every mile traveled in going one round trip from his homo to Washington and back for each congress. Coast congressmen in this way receive a neat little SC.000 ex tra for each two years of service. Con gressmen Beldom thought of paying railway fares until the interstate com merce law was passed, and even now they travel largely in the same way, though, surreptitiously, as it is sup posed. Such packingDoxes as con gressmen care to use are made for them free of charge in the carpenter shop at the capitol beautiful pine chests with hinges, and altogether desirable for packing dresses and family goods of all sorts, thonghitis understood as a matter of form that they are intended for storing away papers and documents exclusively. Meals in the restaurants beneath the house and senate are served to mem bers at considerably reduced prices. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria When Baby irss sick, we gTe her CMtorU.

The old fellow had never before seen a towlJj but he was bv no means dazed, lie looked with indif- fereuce at the state capitol, he blinked with unconcern at the electric lights, aud regarded a railroad engine the first he had ever seen with a sort of mild contempt; but along in the after- gazed longingly at the spread. "Et I jest had a little money IM step tip thar an' show 'em how a white man kin eat when he's got his pegs set right." "Money?' said the bailiff, "why, it wont cost you anything; it's free." It was then that old Bill lost his breath. "What!" he exclaimed, "you don't mean to say that I inout pitch in thar an' he'p myse'f f "That's what you can do." "Look here, don't tampor with me this way. You may joke my clothes and voti mav call me au old fool, but j don't 'low no man to projic with my appeilie. I'm not joking. "What I tell you is true. Just go m there now, and help yourself." The old fellow threw aside his brown I jeans coat and squared himself at the ' table. Old rounders had never seen a man eat witn sucn ueierminaiiou. Every once in a while he would look up and say: "Beats anything I ever seed. Ef a man had told me that thar was such a thing in the world, I wouldn't a' believed him.

"Wall, wall," he remarked, as he cut off another piece of meat, "I never seed tho like. No wonder Jim Pettygrue alius wants to be 'lected to tho Legislatur. Ef the fellers at home know'd what I'm doin' now wouldn't thar moutlis be waterin"? Oh, it's all mighty well fur you men that live here to stan' thar au' not eat, but vou live as I've been doin' fur the last forty year an' eat co nbread an' acorn-fed hog and then not git enough of that except when the preacher come, an' you better bTeve you'd dive at this feast, too.

I ain't got no boys; jest got ten gals, and I have been mighty disapp'inted, an' thought that my life was a failure, but it's all right now." "How long before you'll be ready to goV" the bailiff asked. "Oh! for goodness sake, Cap'n, Joii't come talkm, to me about gonf now. My life come so close a shave bein' a failure that I must stay here a while longer to make shore that thus here ain't a dream feered that I mout wake tin an' find myse'f out in the mountains, a eatin' the vest of a lean J liner nn' n lnnVin nt. irmr :m tlifi ffils. I You jest go on an' drap m here some time this eveniu' an' mebby by that time I mout be ready to go with you." The bailiff returned about two honts later. The old fellow had suddenly disappeared, the bar tender said. Didn't know wliich way he had gone. The bailiff went out and while going through au alley heard some one groan ing. "Why, helloa," said the bailiff, com ing upon a man who lay near an ash barrel. "Wliat is the matter with you?" 'Tm dyin'," answered the east Ten neeseean. " "Oh! I think not." "But I know, you see. Hafer hour from now an' I'll be as dead as a rat" "Let me help you to a room and get a doctor." "No, sir; jes' go on an' let me alone. A man that ain't got no mo' sense than I have ought to die, an' the quicker the better for the community. Went in thar an' eat like a blamed fool jest becaze it didn't cost nothin', an' now I am dyin' an' I'm glad of it." "My friend, it won't do to let you lie here this way." "Yes, it will it's got to do. I alius thought I was a blasted fool, an' now I know it But findin' it out cost me my life. Wush you would write a let ter to mur an' the gals.

Let Sue hussle around fur herse'f an' 1 would be mighty pleased ef you would marry the preacher. He never did treat me right nohow.' ' "Shall I write it just :is you have given it?' the bailiff asked. "Yes: jest exactly." "But some of it seems to conic from another man and the other part conies directly from you.' "That don't make no diffunce; send it along." "Is there anything else yon wish to say?' "Yes, tell mur that I left the cross cut saw out in the Avoods an' that she I better have it brought in.
