Miss Mary Grace Thornton, daughter of
Sir Edward Thornton, British ambassa-
dor, describes “The Crowning of the Czar”
in the May 'Century. She writes: “We are
deep in preparations (dresses first—I feel
quite ready now to crown the emperor!),
> and one hears nothing but discussions
about horses, carriages, house arrange-
ments, servants, etc. The ambassadors
are exercised about horses for their state
carriages, the Russian horse, with all his
‘points’ being too small. Besides, if they
are too short their tails are too long. The
Austrians are having a stable from Vien-
na; but the French are boldly taking the
Russian horses and getting over the tail
difficulty by tying up these long natural
tails and fastening on short false ones.
Ttrey’ve had a dress rehearsal, and say
the effect is excellent. Wha-t it is to be
smart.”
Berlin, May 1.—According to a dispatch
received here from Teher^h, the shah of
Persia was shot and killed this afternoon
while entering the shrine of Shah Abdul
Azim. It is added that the physician at-
tached to the German legation saw the
shah’s body.
Nasir-Ed-Din, shah of Persia) was born
April 24, 1829, and succeeded to the throne
Sept. 10, 1848, on the death of his father.
He was crowned at Teheran Oct. 10, 1848,
and the heir apparent is his oldest, son,
Muzafer-Ed-Din, who was born March
25, 1853, and who ha's four sons and 15
'daughters.
It is officially announced that the shah
is dead. The assassin fired point blank
at his head at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

DU MAURIER AT ANTWERP.
His Early Art Studies Interrupted by
the Failure of His Eyesight.
Du Maurier was soon installed in the
painting class, and made a. vigorous start.
I particularly recollect a life size, full
length painting of an old woman and a
boy, a pen and ink drawing of which is
in my father’s album (see page 105), that
showed talent enough and to spare; but
his atiistic aspirations were soon to meet
with a serious check. His eyesight began
to give him trouble, and befon'e long put
■a stop to his studies in atilier or academy.
He was not to become a painter, as he
had fondly hoped, but as we now know,
was to work out his dcsntiny in another
direction.
In those days we called all that carica-
turing and caricature he certainly did,
mainly of me and himself. From the first
he imagined he saw a marked contrast
between us. His nose was supposed to
be turned up and mine d'qkvn. whereas,
really, neither his nor mine/much deviates
from the ordinary run of noses; my lower
lip certainly does project, but his does not
particularly recede. But the imaginary
contrast inspired him in the earliest days
of our acquaintance, and started him on
the war path of pen and ink. He drew
us in all conceivable and in some incon-
ceivable situations. “Moscheles and . I,”
he says on one page, “if we were artisti-
cally, beautiful;” then again, “if we were
of >the fair sex, or soldiers, or. by 'way of
showing our versatility, if we were
horses.” In that page he seems to have
focused the essence 6f opr characteris-
tics while appearing ouly to delineate our
human and equine possibilities.—In Bo-
hemia with Du Maurier, by Felix Mos-
cheles in the May Century.

Net receipts of cotton at all United

Various Branches of Lavor Demanding
It—Scabs Will be Tabooed.
Monday morning, unless the demands
made of the contractors employing paint-
ers in this city, are gran+ed, every painter
in the city will walk out. The essence of
the demand is $3 a day for eight hours’
work, instead of $3 a day for nine hours’
work.
As has been the ease heretofore, no
trouble is anticipated unless the con-
tractors seek to employ “scabs,” and in
that event every artisan in the city be-
longing to the building and trades assem-
bly, will lay down his tools.
From a painter this afternoon a Trib-
une reporter learned that three-fourths
of the painting establishments iu the city
conceded to their demands.
Rice & Bo-ulard, it is understood,
will refuse the demands of the painters
.and complications of a serious nature
may probably result. However, it is en-
tirely possible that all things may be set-
tled satisfactorily before Monday morn-
ing.
The electrical workers, who demand
thirty-five cents an hour for eight hours’
work, will also walk out Monday unless
the Brush Electric Light Company agree
to the new scale.
If was settled last night at a meeting
of the building and trades assembly that
a sympathetic strike would occur if any
“scabs” were employed by the contractors
in the event the painters and electrical
workers walk out and lay down their
tools.
Other workmen are said to have griev-
ances. A meeting was held this morning,
but the result, except as above given,
could not be learned. ' ~t

YORK MARKET.
HUBBARD’S LETTER.
Hubbard Bros. & Co. under date of
April 29, write: For some time past the
trade has felt that the statistical position
of cotton offered an opportunity for a
squeeze before the end of the season and
that this was particularly true of our
market, which, owing to- a combination
of circumstances, was selling on a lower
basis as compared with the European
markets than for several years. That
this opportunity should be acted upon by
one of the largest houses in the trade is
not surprising, and the result of the effort
will be watched with interest by all con-
nected with the trade. The stock in New
York has* been slowly diminishing for
some time past under the demand for ex-
port until, at the time of the May ten-
ders it stood art about 142,000 bales; of
this -stock it is understood that 16,000
bales are under engagement for export,
10,0-00 bales for Liverpool and the balance
for the continent. These shipments re-?
iduc-e the available stock to- 126.000 bales.
Allowing an average of 500 bales a day
lor spinners’ purchases during the sum-
mer '20,000 to 30,000 bales to be exported, .
the stock so reduced could be easily con-
trolled.
This is the situation, and it is so ap-
parent that most commission houses are
advising their customers not to be tempt-
ed by the glowing crop accounts to sell
the summer, months in anticipation of a
decline as a result of a large prospective
crop. While the holders of this stock
may adopt one or two .courses at the end
of the season, that is either to make a
satisfactory arrangement to have the
stock transferred to the new crop, sac-
rificing if necessary a portion of their
profits to accomplish the transfer and re-
coup themselves by asking for the cotton
from the shorts, or else, having resold a
line of the new crop deliveries-, to resell
their holdings of the summer positions
and make their profit on the ensuing de-
cline.
With this position before the trade
they are naturally conservative, fearing
if they buy that they will have to re-
ceive the present holders’ cotton on all
their purchases and if they sell to be
caught in a squeeze regardless of crop
prospects. Everyone is able to form
their own opinion of the local situation
from this presentation of the market. ;
'Crop advices could not be improved in
any section, the recent' dry weather in the
Atlantic -states having been broken at an
■oportune moment by showers, while from
the southwest come nothing but reports
of largely increased acreage and a good
stand for such cotton a-s is up. .
The trade believes the market will be
advanced on the statisti'cal position, and
they will therefore have a better oppor-
tunity to dispose of their engagements
for the new crop later in the season.
There is therefore little or no -pressure
upon the new crop deliveries, but at the
same time no speculative buying has ap-
peared either in this or the next crop up
to the present time.
TOO EARLY FOR WORMS.
It was reported today that orders for
London purple and Paris green were com-
ing in from the country. Inquiry at the
principal wholesale houses failed to locate
such orders. Messrs. P. J. Willis & Bro.
say they have received some letters ask-
ing if the poisons may be obtained from.
Galveston if needed, but they say it .is
too early for boll worms, which usually
put in an appearance in July, if at all.

torney Lindsey of New York, arrived at
Bow street shortly before 10 o’clock. The
party were immediately conducted to the
extradition court, where the jewelry was
spread on a table. Mrs. Burden ex-
claimed :
“There is my pocket book. You will
find the name of the maker on it.”
The jewelry was fastened into a cham-
ois body belt covered with linen. Mrs.
Burden remarked:
“That is my linen. See how it is sewed
to the belt. Only a woman did that.”
Mrs. Burden was very excited and fre-
quently exclaimed: “O, the wretches! To
think they could use my jewels in that
manner.”
Of the superb necklace of thirty-one
stones, seven are missing. While detec-
tives were opening the package Mrs. Bur-
den checked off the list of her jewels and
Mr. Burden remarked that Turner was
really the instigator of the robbery. Mrs.
Burden testified, repeating the story of
the discovery of the robbery, and subse-
quently form-ally identified the jewelry.
During the examination Turner wore a
defiant air of countenance. Mr. Burden
corroborated his ■ wife’s' testimony. A
pawnbroker identified Turner as the man
who had pledged a gold chain.
FROM THE ORIENT.
'San Francisco, Cali., May 1.—The
steamship Doric, which has arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokahama, says the
black plague is still prevalent in Hong
Kong and Condon. . Japan is taking elab-
orate precautions to ■ prevent ®ihe intro-
duction of the plague.
Yokahama was greatly alarmed, when
the Doric left, over the reported out-
break. An anonymous proclamation has
been posted in Canwu offering rewards
for foreigners’ heads.
On April 16 a destructive fire broke out
at Tateishi and 1500 houses burned.
THE CATCJIOF SEiALS.
St. Johns, N. F., May 1.—This year’s
seal fishery closed with tbe return of the
steamer Aurora from the ice fields. She
encountered frightful weather and
scoured the whole of the north Atlantic
for a fortnight trying to force through
the ice and reach home. The total patch
of seal's is 207,000, which is considered
very good although damages to the fleet
will absorb much of the profit.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.
Berlin, May 1.—The industrial exhibi-
tion was opened in Municipal park at
Treptowa by Emperor William today.
His majesty was accompanied by the
empress. The emperor and empress sub-
sequently made a tour of <the exhibition
and later drove through the town, which
was profusely decorated with flags for the
occasion.
