PARIS , April 28. The trial of Emll Henri ,
the anarchist who caused the explosions In
the Ituo des Bans Knfants , and In the cafe
Terminus , was continued In the assize court
of the Department of the Seine today.
Henri replied to the judge's questions
coolly and Impudently. Ho admitted he
tried to escape , but In order to resume the
manufacture of bombs next day.
Henri said : "I aimed the bomb at the
center of the cafe , where the orchestra was
playing , but I threw It too high. "
Judge Potler hero remarked : "However ,
you kilted 'one person and wounded twenty
others. "
The prisoner Interposed , crying : "No , I
Injured only seventeen. "
"In any case , " the judge continued , "you
Intr-nded to kill ? "
"Certainly , " replied Henri , without hesita
tion ; "certainly I did. "
"You took great care In manufacturing the
bomb ? " was the next question.
"Valllont declared that If ho meant to kill
he would have put bullets and not nails In
his bomb. You put 120 bullets In yours. "
"Precisely , " was the prisoner's calm as
sent.
"I wanted to kill and not to wound. "
"Tho Jury will form Its own opinion on
this subject. They have seen the vain
glorious cynicism with which you avowed
your Intentions. "
"The prisoner hero Interposed , exclaiming
hotly : "It Is not cynicism , It Is conviction.
I admit that I wanted to kill some bour-
Kcolse and tried to kill my pursuers. "
"And you desired destroy a building ? "
asked the judge.
In reply to this question , Henri said con
temptuously : "I don't care a snap for a
building. I struck at the bourgcolso. "
"You'mfan you deliberately tried to kill
Innocent 'persons ? "
" "No , " exclaimed Henry , "no bourgeolsc Is
Innocent. " A'
'CERTAIN OF HIS FATE. .t ,
On the prisoner's refusing later to relate
his connection with the Anarchist Chief
Orltz , the judge warned him against main
taining silence , which caused Henri to ex
claim contemptuously , "Pooh , pooh , I am
certain of being condemned to death ,
whether I maintain silence or whether I
do not. "
The judge then resumed , saying : "You
are silent because you do not wish to admit
that your hand , now stained with blood ,
took money from a thief. "
This caused the prisoner to retort In
solently : "If my hands are stained with
blood , so Is your red robe. I am proud of
what I have done "
"Sit down , " cried the Judge , sternly , and
v the hearing was suspended amid the stir In
the court caused by Henri's Insolence.
When the session was resumed n waiter
of the Cafe Agclono , who was wounded In
the leg , testified to seeing Henri throw the
bomb. The other witnesses Included Police-
fman | Polsson , who was seriously wounded
by the bullets fired at him by the prisoner.
When other wounded witnesses appeared ,
Henri turned his back upon the judge and
affected to utterly disregard the proceedings.
Thereupon Judge Potler reproached the pris
oner with his callousness In the face of
his vlctlmn , many ot whom were poor work
ing people , Henri replied : "What can I do ?
I wanted to strike at the bourgoolso , and I
nm satisfied that I did so. As to my cool
ness , If anybody Is passive It Is you. " This
caused another Sensation In court.
M. Dupuy , a house decorator , who was a
witness for the prosecution , testified that
Henri , whllo In his employ , absented him
self for an hour and a halt on the day of
the explosion , but the witness did not be
lieve the prisoner could have deposited the
Infernal machine In the office of the Car-
maux Mining company on the Avenue de
POpera. Henri Interrupted M. Dupuy , cryIng -
Ing ; "I affirm that I carried It there my
self. "
THOUGHT HE WAS INSANE.
M. Gnupll , a witness for the defense , ex
pressed the opinion that Henri was men
tally affected. This called forth an excited
protest from the prisoner , who asserted ha
was perfectly sane.
The public prosecutor , M. Bulot , then ad
dressed the court. Ho was continually Inter
rupted by the prisoner , who behaved so In-
tolcntly that the presiding judge was com
pelled to threaten to have him expelled from
the court room. Henri then obtained per
mission to read a paper which ho had prepared -
pared , explaining his thorles , and In which
he declared himself Indifferent to the verdict.
He became an anarchist towards the middle
of 1S91 , being dUgusttv ! at human Injustice
mil with the delusion of bourgeolso educa
tion. Ho meditated becoming u socialist , but
love of liberty prevented him. As to the
Cafe Terminus affair , Henri said that It was
t reply to wholesale arrests of anarchists.
Ho wished the bourgeolso to understand that
Iturvlng men had no respect for human life
nd had no mercy In the war against the
bourgeolsc. Henri's address ended with the
words : "You have * killed anarchists , but
what you cannot kill Is anarchy , which will
siul by killing the bourgalse. "
M. Hostel , counsel for the prisoner , made
in eloquent speech In Henri's belmlf. The
| ury brought In a verdict of guilty und Henri
ivns shortly afterwards Eentcnced to death.
The prisoner received his sentence laughing
nd shouting , "Courage , comrades , vivo
t'anarchle. "
Ho was removed undjcr a strong escort of
republican guards.

( Copyrighted 1M4 by the Aimclntod Prc . )
LONDON. April 28. With the exception
of the Haymarkct'8 premiere the week's
theatrical * have not been marked by the
production of n novelty.
The Haymarkct novelty was , ns already
cabled , the first production cf Sidney
Orundy's piny , "A Bunch of Violets , " n
revised version of the author's "Mammon. "
which was founded on Octnvo Fiicllltc's
"Montjol. " Dcrbohm Tree's production was
generally commended when presented to the
public on Wednesday last , and the acting of
Mm. Bcibohtn Trco was received with a
chorus of praise. "A Bunch of Violets"
promises to bo a genuine success and the
first real success which Mr. Tree has had
since he produced "The Dancing Girl. " Mr.
Tree's Impersonation of the self-made finan
cier and alleged philanthropist Is warmly
praised.
The leading houses continue doing n good
business under the continual patronage of
of the duke and duchess of York and of the
duke and duchess of Tcck and other mem
bers of the royal family.
PATTI GIVES A PARTY.
Mme. Adcllna Pattl gave n large party on
Thursday last at her Welsh castle , Cralg-y-
Nos. She appeared In her private theater
as a singer In a ballet d'actlon , entitled ,
"Fidelity , " arranged by Sir Charles Halle.
Mmo. Pattl sang the "Last Rose of Sum
mer" with fliio effect , obtained by a new
organ , which has Just been erected nt the
back of the stage. During the mlscellanc *
ous musical program Mme. Pattl sang a
scena of Wagner and Nlcolonl accompanied
her on the piano. .
The management of the Empire theater
Is negotiating \\lth Sir Arthur Sullivan to
write the. music for the new ballet for that
place of amusement. This Is Sir Arthur
Sullivan's first venture In variety theaters
and It Is another Instance of the tendency
to draw upon high class composers for theat
rical and music hall music.
The second part of Shakespeare's "Henry
IV. " was revived a"t Stratford-upon-Avon on
Friday In connection with the memorial
performances , for the first time In England
for twenty years.
The Society ot Authors Intends to take up
the question of boycotting George Moore's
novel , "Esther Waters , " by Cno of the large
libraries.
LANGTRY COMES BACK TO THE STAGE.
The many contradictory reports circu
lated r.s to the reappearance of Mrs. Lang-
try In London after her prolonged stay on
the Hhlera have , been finally set nt rest
by the announcement that she has been en
gaged for the leading part In a newpl.iy
by Robert Buchanan and Henry Murray ,
which Is shortly to bo produced at the
Opera Comlque. That no effort will bo
spared by the management to remove the
stigma of Ill-success attaching to the the
ater Is sufficiently proved by the strength
of the cast , which Includes , besides Mrs.
Langtry , Miss Rose Leclercq and Messrs.
kFred Kerr , W. Herbert and C. Llttlo. The
new play Is n modern comedy In four acts
and the subject Is treated on the most up
to date linos. The first act of the play
takes place In the garden of a bungalow on
the banks of the Thames , the second In the
morning room of the Dudley house , and the
third and fourth acts are In the great draw
ing room of the New Haven house.
A good deal of uncertainty still exists In
regard to the production at the Court the
ater of Clement Scott's adaptation In three
acts of Dufas' "Denlben. " Sir Augustus
Harris holds the rights of the play , and It
Is said Insists that it must bo put on for
a six weeks' run at least , whereas the syn
dicate behind Miss Olga Nethersolo nro ,
not unnaturally , averse to committing thorn-
solves In this way. In the meanwhile , however -
over , no time Is being wasted and the
members of the cast are being provisionally
engaged. If everything turns out satisfac
tory , Lewis waller will play the
hero and George Hawtrey" and Miss
Esmo Berlnger , who will consequently
have to relinquish her part In "The New
Boy , " will also be allotted Important roles.
TAKE A RUN TO THE COUNTRY.
It Is an established custom for London
managers to toke down their companies nt
least once during the run of n successful
play to the Crystal Palace and Brighton ,
playing at matlneo and returning to town
In tlmo for the usual evening performance.
Thursday afternoon Is set apart for these
flying visits to the Crystal Palace and Tues
day afternoon for those at Brighton.
Birmingham , It appears , will also bo taken
Into account In this respect In the future.
Not long since Bcerbohm Tree gave a mat
lneo at the chief theater there with the
Haymarkot company , and now on May 3
Mr. Wyndhom Is to follow his example with
"An Aristocratic Alliance. "
A matinee recently given at the West the
ater , Albert Hall , by Messrs. John Gray
nnd Andre Rnftalovltch , two disciples of
Oscar Wilde , was chiefly remarkable for the
number of theatrical celebrities In the audi
ence. These Included Mary Moore , Florence
St. John , Winifred Emery , Letty Llnd , Olga
Brandon , Violet Van Brugh , Charles Wynd-
ham , Cyril , Maude nnd Wcerln Grossmlth.
Much Interest centers In the production
tonight nt the St. James theater of "The
Masqueraders , " a new play In four acts by
Henry Arthus Jones , which succeeds "The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray. "

BERLIN , April 23. The czarewltch Is ex
pected here on Tuesday next enroute to St.
Petersburg , and ho will probably stay in
Berlin a few hours as the guest of Empsror
William , whom ho has Invited to his wedding.
Inquiries have resulted in Information to
the effect that the German government will
under no consideration consent to any propo
sition which would diminish German Inllu-
cnce In Samoa or elsewhere' , and a change
from the present attitude of the German
government towards Samoa therefore \\ould
only bo in the direction of a German pro
tectorate over the Samoan Islands. On the
other band , the German government Is will
ing to grant to the United States by treaty
any demands which would secure to America
her present commercial rights and standing
In Samoa. This Is the standpoint of Germany
and It Is looked upon as Involving the honor
of the German empire.
All the German newspapers comment upon
the Coxeylto movement In America , and ex
press astonishment at what they term the
absence of co-operation between governments
of the different states to nip the agitation
In the bud. At the same time nothing strlcus
Is expected , the general opinion being the
Washington government will make short
work of any attempted disturbance.
The Bavarian government , with the double
view to prevent adulteration and to bring
profit to the Bavarian treasury , has opened
an extensive drinking saloon In Munich.
This has greatly incensed the retailers In
Munich. They claim the government ought
to be satisfied with the immense profits It
already gets from the state brewery.
In pursuance of his plan to suppress ex
travagance among officers In the German
army Emperor William has Instructed com
manding officers only to grant permission to
keep raca horses to the most wealthy of the
officers and to suppress the custom of sub
ordinate officers making expensive presents.
The empress of Germany and her children
arrived < at "Potsdam from Abazzla today and
drove straight to the new palace. The em
press received an Innovation from the crowds
gathered to welcome her.
Emperor William starts on his Norwegian
tour at the end of June.

Shock * that Were Moro Violent Than Those
Preceding.
ATHENS , April 28. During the usual Fri
day Epitaphlon procession in the cathedral
hero a violent shock occurred that seemingly
shook the building to Its very foundations.
The duration of the shock was fifteen sec
onds. The cathedral was crowded with devo
tees , who , when the shock began , were on
the verge of a panic. Every exit was hur
riedly thrown open and the people dispersed.
At the telegraph ollicos It was learned that
the shock had been felt throughout the coun
try. Including the Islands of Syra and
Zantcs and that Immense damage had been
done. The shock was fell with the greatest
severity at Thebes and at Atalanta , both of
which places were extensively damaged by
the last shocks. Both cities were completely
destroyed , not a single house being left
standing. Incalculable damage was also dons
at Lamia , Larlssa , Vole , Chalets and Patras.
At Lamia the walls of the prison fell down
and many of the uninjured prisoners made
their cscape ln the confusion prevailing.
In addition to the many persons rendered
homeless by the previous shocks there are
now thousands of others who will have to
depend on the government for shelter and
faustenance. There Is llttlo doubt that there
has been great loss of life.
l > eupo of Brazilian Hofiigocs Confirmed.
LISBON , April 28. The report of the cs-
capo of th'o Brazilian refugees who were on
board the Portuguese warships Mlndello and
Alfonso do Albuquerque la confirmed. The
Portuguese government has chartered the
steamship Pedro Terccro at Buenos Ayrcs
to convey the Brazilian refugees from Punta
Alncia , Uruguay , to Ascension Island for
transfer to the steamer Angelo cnrouto to
Portugal. The Portuguese Hag has already
been hoisted on the Pedro Tercoro and the
Portuguese officers and marines were on
board when the Brazilians escaped. On
learning of the escape of the Brazilians the
Portuguese government ordered the removal
of the commanders of the Mlndello and Al-
buquurque , and steps have been taken to
try both of these officers by court-martial ,

ception from the Catholics In the streets.
This hostility was caused by the recent sus

LONDON , April 25. ( New York Herald
Cable Special to'iTho Bee. ) The oldest of
English playgoers 'snyc there was novcr such
an Instant and overwhelming autburst of
enthusiasm as followed the quick fall of the
curtain at the end of the third act of "The
Masquoradcrs" 'tonlRfit. There was a like
striking effect for the first and second cur
tain , but the fourth and final act fell flat
because of the lonrf'nml didactic preaching
of Uavld Remon ( Mr. ' George Alexander ) ,
after ho had decided on his act of re
nunciation. This will doubtless be elimin
ated hereafter. It r > 'f universally admitted
tonight that the r'ny ' l < j more artistic ,
stronger and 'moro ' probable In
Incident than "Tho 'Hncond Mrs. Tanqucry , "
which It succeeds. Mr. Alexander Is' moro
acceptable than as Tailqucray. In the third
act he gave tha sojk Impulse to the un
paralleled outburst mentioned. But Mrs.
Patrick Campbell no less proved hcr&olf a
consummate artist. There was great
curiosity as to whether she would sustain
her reputation as Mrs , Tanquaray. There
can be no doubt that she has surpassed It.
The gonlp oPitho lobbies nevertheless seem
to Indicate Ilmt"profu3 lonal critics would
damn the play because of the alleged Immor

NEW ORLEANS , April 28. Fire started
about 11 o'clock In the kitchen ot the St.
Charles hotel , on St. Charles , Gravlcr and
Commerce streets. From the kitchen It as
cended through n back elevator to the upper
stories of the building. The progress of the
flames was so rapid that the Commerce
street side ot third , fourth and fifth stories
was seen to bo In flames before the occu
pants , the guests and servants could be
moved. Every effort was made to awaken all
the occupants , but the llamcs drove the fire
men and others back. Several persons were
seen nt the windows on the fourth floor ,
facing on Commerce street , apparently In
the flames , crying for help. Ono of them , a
man , sprang from the window , falling on the
pavement on his head and dashing
out his brains. His clothes wore
burned from him and the body was
black with burns. AVhat became of
the others who were standing around him ,
whether they escaped or were burned to
death , It Is Impossible to say and will not be
known until the ruins arc searched tomor
row. The dead man was burned beyond
recognition and It was Impossible to say
whether he was a guest or a servant. Lad
ders were placed against the windows on
the lower floors and several women were
taken down , many of them In n fainting
condition. Another man who sprang from
a window was Instantly killed. His name
and residence are unknown. The flames
were confined to the rear side , leaving the
front on St. Charles street1 uninjured , so
that the trunks and baggage of the
guests were mostly saved as well
as the goods In the stores on
Charles street. The hotel had quite n num
ber of guests , how many It Is not known , as
the register cannot be found , but they were
supposed to number 200. Most of them were

The train of soldiers at 11:25 a. m. pulled
out for Mount Sterling. Two Catling guns
were on the rear car. Six cars contained
soldiers. There was also a baggage car.
It was surprise , says a special to the Dis
patch , to the Galvln army at 1:30 : this
morning when Detective John Mahoney and
his man asked them to vacate the train.
When ho presented his commission showing
that he represented the governor , who had
given him special power Iti accordance with
law , the Coxeyltes laughed at him. They
refused to hear the ) commission read. They
mot all demands in the name of the state
with hoots and Jeers. Mahoney wired these
facts to the governor and ( aid that unless
Instructed otherwise he would proceed to
put the men off the train by force at day
break. He was told to do nothing and at G a.
m. Adjutant General IIowo and Attorney
General Richards arrived at the train. After
a conference with them Scott Chenowlth ,
sheriff of Madison county , ordered the men
off the train. The order was kindly made.
Galvln said ho had no control over the men
and was powerless to do anything. The
sheriff and state ofllcors then walked along
each car and ordered the men on each to
leave the train. This having been done At
torney General Richards addroiscd the men ,
saying that Chenowlth was sheriff of the
county and the power of the Btato was be
hind him. "If you refuse to obey his com
mand to get off this train the state of
Ohio will compel you to do so. "
When ho had concluded Galvln spoke to
the men , saying : "Men , I have no control
over you ; you must act on your own Judg-
In this matter. Each man must act for
himself Individually , but I would advise you
to obey the order of the sheriff. "
Not a word eamo from the men. The
sheriff then made a request upon the state
for assistance of the military.
Gnlvln said to a reporter : "I don't ceo
the necessity of all thin trouble. All the men
want is to rldo on the train. They do not
expect to do anything or anybody any In-
Jury. "
The trops arrived at Mount Sterling at
12:10 : p. in. Adjutant General Howe Imme
diately took command.
At 1 o'clock the troops mounted the cars.
The Galvlns scrambled off and the train
moved away. No shots were llred.
As soon us the troops formed Sheriff Chen
owlth handed Colonel Colt a paper directing
him to make use of the military In clearing
out the men occupying the train against the
protests of the railroad company.
"Any person , " said the paper , "who re
sists you will arrest and hold subject to fur
ther orders. You will UBO no more force
than la necessary to execute this order. You
will then guard the train and railroad prop
erty at this point until further orders. "
Colonel Colt then addrescd the men ax fol
lows : "Men , I have asked you kindly to
leave tliln train. Your commanding officer
has surrendered and now In the name of the
state of Ohio I order you to leavo. I notify
you that I will give you three minutes to
get off the train and If you do not do RO I
shall use force , UH I am authorized to do so , "
and us ho spoke ho drew out his watch to
count the minutes. Ho then started down
the train and repeated his order , which was
taken up by General Howe and other olllcers.
Several of thg Galvlnltes yelled , " \Vo sur
render , " and began to got down , but the
mass of the men frowned and shook their
heads.
In the meantime the troops were moving
Into portion. The Galling guns were
placed so as to sweep the top of the luni ;
string of cars. Companion A , I ) and C wore
at the head of the train. There was
hesitation on the part of the
Galvlnltes. The man holding the
Ing the American flag on top of the forward
car exclaimed "I'll stay till the last. ' ' Gen
eral Howe extended the tlmo and then Col
onel Colt took Company A and mounted-tho
car bearing thu flag. AH HOOD us the olllcer
readied the ( lug the llagbearer laughed and
said : "I am a law-abiding citizen and will
obey orders. " He forthwith proceeded to
climb down , Thin wits a signal for the rest
ami many other * began to climb down.
There were numerous muttcrlngs , however ,
and there were yet a few troublesome xgnn ! ,
The stlllneuu was heavy and nave ( or the
shouts of officers and escaping Htcarn of the
engines It was a < quiet as a funeral , Every
strange sound caused a stait and the worst
was expected.
MOUNT STERLING. O. , April 28. The
Galvln regiment of C'ommonwealurH secured
enough money from cltUcns to pay for trans
portation to Columbus , and left at 10:20 :

BAXTER TELLS THE STORY.
General Manager Dickinson and Assistant
General Superintendent Baxter arrived hero
this afternoon on a special train. Mr. Bax
ter gave an account of the capture of their
train at Troutdalo by the Industrial army
as follows : At The Dalles this morning wo
had an Intimation that a crowd of men were
awaiting our special train to capture our
engine. Wo sent the four ladles of our
party ahead on the regular passenger train
so they would not bo subjected to any In
convenience should such a thing happen.
We started from the Cascade Locks nt 8
o'clock , and when wo reached Troutdalo
there were DOO or COO men awaiting us.
They made u rush for us , sidetracking our
car and confiscating our cnglno.
Marshal Grady and isoveral deputies were
present , but It useless to make a protest , an
the numbers were too great for us. Our
engine was hurriedly coupled to the box can
on the track and the crowd started cast on
a wild rush , regardless of any trains they ;
might encounter. They put their own en
gineer on the locomotive , and It Is just pos
sible that lives may bo lout by this wild
train running Into other train * coming from
the opposite direction. We at once wired to
the United States atorncy general at Wash
ington , who Informed us In reply that troopa
would bo sent In pursuit of these men.
When the train reached Cascade Locktt
the leader ot the army kindly Informed the
company by telegraph that they \vero hand

road open for the tramp train.
