EKTRY OF THE CZAR.
AS DESCRIBED BY SIR EDWARD
ARNOLD.
A Grand and Gorgeous Show—Barbaric
Splendor of the Oriental Kepreeenta
tlret—The Monarch and the Caarina
Described— Moscow’s Illumination—
Money Spent Without Measure.
I
Never Anything Like It.
I.ondon. May 23.—Sir Edwin Ar
nold, who went to Moscow on behalf
of the Daily Telegraph, in his dis
patch to that paper, describing the
scene at the Kremlin and the entry of
the czar into Moscow, says: “Why
oannot one write in colors? There
was never anything seen on any stage
like the living kaleidoscope of fanci
'■ ful attire of fantastic hues and em
bellishments visible around me, par
ticularly in the Oriental element, and
all the far Eastern nations._ The ofll
■cials from Khiva wore magenta col
ored velvet robes, gold embroidered
and sugar-loaf hats. Now China
contributed a dazzling group with
flowered satin frocks and Vermillion
buttoned hats. Now a bevy of
magnates from Lake Baikal astound
j the eye with fur trimmed brocade and
long red boots. Now I recognize the
, .g™.Y surtoat and ‘amber capstrings of
the Coreans and try one of them with
a greeting in Japanese. He politely
murmurs. Some of the Khirgiz Tar
tars then appear in yellow silk and
scarlet shawls, outdoing all, and at a
. window of the Gostinnoy Dvor there
is a beautiful vision of a. Circassian
ladv in black and oranire brocades.
glistening with pearls and turquoises.
I abandon in despair the polychro
matic aspects of the pageant.
' “The Cossack guard was glorious,
uniformed in scarlet and cold, riding
little, weedy, Roman nosed Ukraine
nags, with only a snaffle and bridle
and with gold and black bandoliers,
looking quite fit to pace in front of the
czar. Alter these came upon the
scene almost the chief interest for me
personally, since I saw gravely rid
ing along as the vassal friends
of the great white khan all the
chiefs of the Central Asian king
doms and provinces, over which
his eagles cast the shadow of their
•wings. They passed demurely “upon
noble Arab stallions, the very least
among them mounted upon animals
covered from crest to haunch with the
costliest trappings of silver and gold
cloth. But these and other parts of
the pageant paled before the grand
master of ceremonies, borne haughtily
ouward in such a golden chariot as I
thought existed only in heaven or in
classical pictures, holding a wand of
gold topped with an emerald as big as
a walnut.
“But here at last comes the august
object of this unparalleled manifesta
tion, the successor and heir of Ivan
the Terrible. Ills handsome and
manly young countenance is pale
with the prodigious sensation which
such a scene must naturally excite,
and holds his gloved right hand
almost perpetually to his regimental
cap. lie bends his head gently to
this side and that to acknowledge the
boundless welcome. Every man is
bareheaded and every woman is wav
ing a handkerchief or shawl or vio
lently crossing her loyal bosom in a
prayer for ‘the little father.’
“The czarina also sat alone, dressed
wholly in white, even the jewels,
pearls and diamonds, seeming to mar
by their color the effect of this pure
apparel, which caused her to resemble
a marble saint within a golden shrine.
Most unmistakable were the affection
and loyalty of the crowd and I saw
more than one poor peasant woman’s
eyes fill with tears of sheer joy to be
hold this fair lady. One honest fellow
fell upon his knees to say his prayers
as though he had seen something di
vine, till a Cossack bundled him back
into the crowd. ”
It would be impossible to overdraw
the splendid picture presented by the
procession and by the illuminations.
No money has been spared 10 make
the coronation festivities memorable
in Russian history and up to the pres
ent' all efforts have been crowned
witli success. The Russian govern
ment is said to have spent ovei SUO,
. OOO.OOO on the fetes up to the present
and the eity of -Moscow is understood
to have expended nearly ,as much
money and more expenses have to be
The illuminations will last three
'evenings in succession and will cost
several million dollars, to the govern
ment alone, without counting what
the city will contribute toward this
portion of the expenses.
Beside the expenses of the Russian
government and the city of Moscow
the expenses which grand dukes and
grand duchesses, foreign princes and
ambassadors, etc., have been put to, is
really enormous, one authority going
so far as to estimate that there was
about S OO.OoO.Obo worth of jewelry
alone in the procession of yesterday.
Hill Villbuatering

Culberson of Texas replied to the tele
graphic offer of assistance sent him by

which recently devastated property

able and benevolently disposed con
tributing such articles as would be most
likely to relieve the distressed condi

chairman of the executive committee

worthy cause and will see that they are
placed in the hands of the proper local
authorities at Sherman. Tex. I trust
that at least one car load of provisions
may be forwarded to these distressed
people within a few days.’’ . t>,
HOT UNDER THE COLLAR.
Bill and Allen Exchange Left Handed
Compliments.
Washington, May 2 3.—The Senate
had an hour of much excitement with
a resort to obstructive tactics and
several heated personal controversies
at a late hour yesterday. The early
portion of the session had been given
to the routine of agreeing on confer
ence reports on appropriation bills.
At 5 o’clock Mr- Butler, Ponulist, of
North Carolina moved to take up his
bill prohibiting the further issue of
interest-bearing bonds. Mr. Hill im
mediately moved an adjournment, se
curing an aye and nay vote in order
to gain time. The motion to adjourn
was defeated, whereupon Mr. Chandler
followed with a motion for an execu
tivesession. Mr. Pettigrew asked leave
to offer a supplementary conference
report on the Indian bill. The con
sent being given, Mr. Hill immediately
demanded the full reading of the re
port. This was an unexpected move
for delay, as the report was volumin
ous. The presiding officer, Mr. Faulk
ner of West Virginia, ruled that Mr.
Hill’s demand was tegular, and direct
ed the clerk to proceed with the
reading of the report. Senators
Butler, Stewart and Allen interposed
a chorus of protests. Mr. Allen said
he hoped the senate would not violate
every decency and propriety by these
obstructive tactics.
“What right have you to the floor?”
asked Mr. Hill, sharply, addressing
Mr. Allen personally. Then, address
ing the chair, Mr. Hill added, “He has
no right to the floor.”
“I have, too,” declared Mr. Allen.
“I have the right to speak and I pro
pose to do so.”
“Others have rights as well as you,”
reponded Mr. Hill. The tone of tlie
Senator showed feeling.
Mr. Allen proceeded and said that
the obstruction was manifestly aimed
at a Populistic measure.
“1 am glad it is admitted to be a
Populistic measure,” interjected Mr.
Hill. r
it v uuui 1 u v a i/v,- j
curred between Mr. Hill and Mr.
Allen. The latter had continued to
hold the floor. He spoke with much
feeling, saying he had never known
the spirit of unanimous agreement of
the Senate to be violated, and the
Senator who committed such a viola
tion would regret it.
“I would like to know if the Senator
refers to me?” “said Mr. Hill, rising
quickly.
There was a momentary silence,
owing to the suggestive tone of Mr.
Hill’s inquiry.
“What does the Senator want to
know for?” asked Mr. Allen, with
equal significance.
‘T want to know if reference is made
to me,” replied Mr. Hill.
“I referred to the Senator,” said
Mr Allen.
“Then I desire to say here,” an
swered Mr. Hill, savagely, “that the
statement is false, absolutely false. I
have violated no agreement, and my
course was sustained by the chair. ”
“The Senator will never be able to
convince me,” said Mr. Allen, in some
what subdued tones, “that he was
honest in having that report read.”
“I care nothing about convincing
you; I stand on my rights here,” said
Mr. Hill, contemptuously.
The vote was about to be taken
when a snarl of parliamentary ob
struction was interposed. For an
hour roll calls and calls of the Senate
obstructed business, a quorum disap
pearing on most votes.
Mr. Stewart moved that the ser
geant-at-arms be directed to request
the presence of senators. The motion
prevailed and the business of the Sen
ate was suspended while the sergeant
at-arms looked up absent senators.
At L:35, no quorum having ap
peared. Mr. Butler moved to adjourn,
saying he would continue the contest
to-day. Senate then adionrned.

nation meeting' of some of the dele

sociation claiming' to represent twenty
States was hold after the adjourn
ment of the convention, and a pream
ble and resolution^ bearing on the
McKinley matter were adopted. The
preamble and resolutions adopted
follow:
Whereas, The Supreme Council of
the A. P. A. of the United States, at
its session Saturday evening, by an
unanimous vote adopted the report of
the National advisory board, which
report indorsed the action of the exe
cutive committee of said board and in
plain language said that the execu
tive committee was justified in pub
lishing the political i (filiation of Mc
Kinley with the Roman political
hierarchy, which affiliation Is proven
by the affidavits of reputable mem
bers of the order, and which affidavits
have never been controverted except
by the unsworn statement of Major
McKinley himself, and.
Whereas, Major McKinley did on
May It, lo9G, to a committee of the
national advisory board in the city of
Canton, Ohio, state he heartily ap
proved the principles of the A. P. A.,
and on the following day gave an in
terview to the press denying that he
had met such a committee, thus giving
the lie to the report of the committee,
which was composed of honorable and
truthful gentlemen; and,
Whereas, The members of the Su
preme council have, during its session,
been hounded and badgered by a large
MlilTinluir nnmnoanil n# mAin.
bers and non-members ot the order,
that has used the most disreputable
blackmailing- methods to discredit the
advisory board and turn the Supreme
council into a McKinley ratification
meeting, and having signally failed to
clear McKinley of the consequences of
his propapal' political record, to-day,
after two-thirds of the delegates had
started for home, attempted to take
revenge by abolishing the national
advisory board, and accomplished the
same by a vote of 30 to 39.
Resolved, That the delegates in con
demnation meeting assembled, de
nounce the unwarranted interference
of the paid McKinley lobby with the
affairs of the order, and denounce the
cowardly denial by McKinley of the
indorsement of the principles of the
order, given to our committee, and
Resolved, That because of his record
as reported by the national advisory
board, we herewith pledge ourselves,
by our influence and efforts, to ac
complish his defeat.
CHURCH AND POLITICS
Cardinal Gibbons .Gives His Views, With
a ltebuke for the A. P. A.
Washington, May SO.—In reply to
some questions addressed through
Rev. Dr. Stafford of Washington, D.
C., to Cardinal Gibbons, the Cardinal
sent the following letter:
It is the duty of the leaders of polit
ical parties to express themselves
without auy equivocation on the prin
ciples of religious freedom which un
derly our constitution. Catholics are
devoted to both the great political
parties of the country and each indi
vidual is left entirely to his own con
science. We are proud to say that in
the long liistery of the Government of
the United States the Great Catholic
church has never used or perverted
its acknowledged power by seeking to
make politics subserve its own ad
vancement.
Moreover, it is our proud boast that
we have never interfered with the
civil and political rights of any who
differ from us in religion. We demand
the same rights ourselves and nothing
more, and will be content with noth
ing less. Not only is it the duty of
all parties distinctly to set their faces
against the false and un-American
principles thrust forward of late, but
much as I would regret the entire
identification of any religious body as
such with any political party, I am
convinced that the members of a re
ligious body whose rights, civil or
religious, are attacked will naturally
and unanimously espouse the cause of
the party which has the courage
openly to avow the principles of civil
and religious liberty according to the
constitution.
Patience is a virtue, but it is not the
only virtue. When pushed too far it
may degenerate in*o pusilanimity.

tornado of Sunday night, while six
perished in and about Reserve, in

at or near Sabetba.
The losses from the tornado along
its deadly path are placed now at
fully $1,000,000 and this may be in

more and at Reserve $150,00ft At
other points a low estimate makes the
losses over $50,000.

question that several of them will suc
cumb in a few days.
