THE BURNED CRAFT
Inquiry Into the Loss of
the King James.
THE FIRST MATE EXONERATED
The Tugs Give Up Their Search for
the Burning Collier and
Return Home.
Special to Thk Moknixo Call.
Santa I>a i; is. a. April B— The Monarch
stopped heie about two hours early this
morning. She has been cruising in search
of the burning ship King James, and re
ports haying seen nothing of the vessel.
The tug experienced rough weather, and
the ctlicers -in that, as the King James
was left with hatches open, it Is probable
that she filled with water and sank. The
tvs stopped to get medical assistance fur
one of her men, whose foot was smashed.
Tho Monarch will make another search
before goinn to San Francisco.
The court of inquiry met this morning
and was In session for two hours. It ex
amined Captain Drummond, Mate Mel
drum. Boatswain minings. Carpenter
Angus, Sailmaker Flytfn and Seaman
Newport. All agreed the vessel was in
good million when leaving Newcastle,
and every precaution was taken to prevent
destruction. The captain gave his opinion
that the cause of the cap-izinc of his boat
was the second mate steeling wrong. The
second mate was drowned.
No evidence was adduced to support the
statement that the first mate disobeyed or
ders in separating from the captain's boat
after leaving the ship. The male consid
ered it safer to bear off to windward, and
In doing so left the other boat behind.
British Vice-Consul Mortimer of Los
Angeles and F. A. Blake and T. K. llaweof
this city minted the court of inquiry.
They seemed entirely satisfied with tils' ex
planation of the officers and men. The
men have been paid off and fitted out with
new clothes, and will leave on the slean.er
Corona Sunday night, with the exception of
the witnesses, who may be detained until a
decision is given by the court, which took the
matter under consideration till Monday at
1 ' o'clock.
The tug Fearless arrived this evening
from Point Concepcban, and the officers,
after con suit with Captain Drummond,
decided that it would be useless to search
for tie King James. The tug had gone
over the points where the ship was aban
doned several times, and no trace was
found of her. The King James has un
doubtedly sunk. The officers of the Fear
less say that they met the Vigilant and
Monarch, both going to San Francisco, hav
ing given up the search.
BY HIS OWN HAND.
Suicide of a Well-tc-Do Young Alan
at San Pedro.
San Pedro, April B.— The town was the
scene of another suicide this morning. Two
week ago a Justice of the Peace ended his
troubles by blowing out his brains, and early
this morning the dead body of a young man,
named drew Danieldson, about 27 years
of age. was found lying near the outer edge
of a barge mooied at the Callas wharf with
a bullet wound In his head. No motive can
be assigned as to what drove the man to
commit the rash act, but from his conduct
during the past few days his friends are of
opinion that he was temporarily Insane,
lie possessed considerable property. The
verdict of the Coroner's jury was to the
effect that deceased came to his death by a
bullet wound inflicted by his own hand
with suicidal intent. In his pockets were
found (mo mutilated photographs and some
scraps of paper, one of which contained the
words of the song, "The Irish Jubilee."
SORRY HE WAS SAVED.

Welch's room and gave the alarm.
.Mr. Peters, the clerk, at once entered the
room and 'Uiid the windows and transoms
closed and the gas turned on, while on the
table was an empty ounce bottle labeled
"laudanum." Medical assistance was called
and the life of tbe man saved. His wife
was telegraphed for, and is expected to ar
rive on the first train. He will give no
reason for trying to take his life, save that
be "wanted to go to a better world," ex
pressing regret at his failure.

day. Santa Anans were confident that
Moreys could win, for the redoubtable lit
tle sprinter bad met and defeated some of
the best footracers In the world, among
them the Canadian champion Quirk. The

nouncing it as line as any he ever ran on,
and he was also in good condition. Moreys
was not in good trim, but even so the Santa
Anans backed him heavily with both money,
land and watches. The race was a good
one, and Pulley won it by ten feet in nine

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 1893— SIXTEEN PAGES.
IN THE PROVINCES.
Fighting the Battle for
Home Rule.
BALFOUR GOES TO ULSTER.
It Was a Great Demonstration, but It
Will Probably Be Barren '
of Results.
Fpeclal to The Hoamn Call.
London. April B.— The political cam
paign during the Easter holidays carried
the war with renewed energy into the
provinces against Gladstone's home-rule
bill. One incident, however, which stands
out above all others amid the flood of
speeches and demonstrations of the week
has been Balfour's visit to Ireland. The
cause of unionism lost little through Lord
Salisbury's illness, Even the late Prime
Minister could not have evoked more en
thusiasm and helped Ulster to demon
strate her hostility to home rule more pow
erfully than Balfour has done. during the
last few days. The ex-Secretary of State
.for Ireiaud received a welcome the like of
which has hardly ever been given to a pub
lic man. Even the wildest enthusiasm with
which Gladstone used to be received in
Scotland never equaled the reception given
to Baltour. It is homage of doubtful taste
to drag an alleged hero's carriage by hand,
fir such an honor is without dignity to
those by whom it is given, and it is more
over conferred upon pr.ze-fighters as well
as statesmen.
But an orderly parade of 80,000 men
marching past in the presence of an addi
tional crowd of 200,000 spectators is a unique
spectacle in the humdrum history of Brit
ish politics. For over four hours did Bal
four sit and watch phalanx after phalanx of
well-to-do, orderly citizens, who, alter all,
are but a fraction of that solid minority
whose views and Interests Glad-tone is de
termined to ignore that lie may the better
ad the majority. Though Orange clubs
and Orange loafers played a great part in
organizing the remarkable spectacle it is a
mistake to suppose it was all Orange ele
ment and nothing more.
There is, however, * growing sentiment
that the bill will pass when put upon Its
passage in the House of Commons, and that
Ireland will thus take one step toward the
realization of her hopes. Whether it will
pass the House of Lords is another mutter.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.
One Wing of the Clan-Na-Gael Has

New Yor.K, April B.— The United States
Brotherhood, the name by which the wing

THE SHIP'S WRITER
Once an Individual of Im
portance.
The Autocratic Position of an Offi
cial Whose Salary Has Recently
Been Reduced.
The new pay-table, regulating the emolu
ments of the enlisted men in the United
.States navy, says the New York Times,
(bows some very interesting things. Among
others it illustrates how the mighty have
fallen. Time was when that person known
as "ship's writer" was a man of consider
able Importance on shipboard and one
whose worth received recognition In a high
rate, of nay. To the crew the first lieuten
ant is regarded as the power behind the
throne, but in many cases his writer was a
power that was greater than the throne
itself.
The first lieutenant of a man-of-war Is a
man who has nothing to do In life except to
attend to everything. When he secures the
services of an effici ent writer he generally
relegates to that individual everything con
cerning Hie internal economy of the ship
which lie does not care to be bothered with
himself. Toe men have to be stationed at
the battery, crews for the uifferent boats
selected, a fire bill arranged and every roan
of the crew informed as to what is his
special duty at every evolution.
The Oluejacket, when he is transferred
ft in one ship to another, does not leave his
character behind. Everything that lie has
dune or left undone is inscribed upon his
papers, and these records are placed with
the Writer. ~
Armed with this knnwledgeof the charac
ter of each member of the crew, to that in
dividual was cetierally relegated the author
ity to shift men from one part of the ship to
another and to station them as in his judg
ment was best. it was frequently his
function to decide upon their capabilities as
petty officers, and as a rule the matter of
"liberty," the most important of all la the
estimation of the bluejacket, came under
bis control.
The monthly requisitions for money are
made out by linn, and it was a part of his
duty to sen that none of the men obtained
more than their conduct entitled them to.
The pay of all those who serve in the navy
is, of course, regulated by a higher author
ity, but the commanding officer of a ship
always lays down certain rules which must
be observed by the men if they want to
draw from the paymaster their full monthly
allowance.
Nearly every man-of-war's man has some
reminiscence to relate of the Writers with
whom be has served. One of these tells of
how an ancient bluejacket once presented
himself, cap in hand, at the Writer's office.
That individual, it appears, was busy at the
time, and after an ineffectual attempt to
gain a bearing the man went forward. He
made another effort and again failed. A
third time he' tried it, only to be sharply
told by the Writer to go forward, as he did
not have lime to talk to him.
He only went as far forward as the mamm
as'. the place where all grievances on the
part of the crew are carried. The officer of
the till, who was silently pacing ibe
quarterdeck, soon observed the quiet figure
standing at attention near the mast, and on
approaching him, asked what was the
trouble.
"I would like to speak to the first lieuten
ant," said the man, carrying his band to his
cap.
"What do you want to speak to the first
lieutenant about?" inquired the officer,
somewhat nettled that the nature of the
complaint had not been disclosed to him.
"Weil, sir, it is an important matter, and
I would like to see the executive person
ally about it."
The officer hesitated a moment and then,
remembering that the army regulations pro
vide that no audience with the executive
officer must be denied, stalked off. knocked
on the door of the executive, and told hi in
there was a man at the pias; who wished to
see him. The executive walked forward,
and, after returning the salute of tho man,
was astonished to learn that he simply
wanted his permission to speak to the cap
tain.
"What In the name of creation do you
want to see the captain about?" asked the
dnmfounded officer as be hastily recalled
the punishments lie hod caused lo be in
flicted without his superior's authority.
"Oh, it's merely a private matter, sir,"
was the reassuring response, "Out It Is a
very important one tome, and I would like
to speak to the captain about it."
"Hut can't 1 settle it?" asked the execu
tive, alter satisfying hiinelf that he bad not
exceeded his authority and wishing to save
his commander annoyance. "Tell me what's
the trouble and I will lay the case before
him."
"Mo, sir," persisted the man; "I want to
see the captain personally."
After that there was nothing more for
the executive to do but to send the orderly
to the captain with the "message that there
was a man at the mast who wanted to speak
to him. It was an unusual request, and
that officer did not know what to make of
it. However, lie came out of the cabin and
walked to the mast, accompanied by the
executive and the officer of the deck.
"What is it you want, my man?" be in
quired, as the seaman carried his hand to
his cap.
"11 you please, sir," replied the latter, "I
would like your permission to speak to the
admiral."
"What the deuce— do you want to see
the admiral about?" gasped the astonished
"\\ eil, sir, It Is an important matter, and
ho is the only man who can decide it, and 1
ask your permission to speak to him."
The trio of officers paced the quarterdeck
in silence for a few minutes. What the man
wanted none of them could Imagine. The
captain said he had never heard of such a
request being made before, and the officer
of the deck, fresh from the Naval Academy
admitted that ho never had either. After
bearing how the man had gone through the
regular and prescribed channels to gam an
audience with the admiral the captain con
cluded that it was best lo notify the admiral
that there was a man at the mast who bad
asked to speak lo him.
Admirals are. not easily accessible, and
the request was such a singular one to come
from such a source that the admiral cnnld
luiruly credit It when the orderly delivered
the message. The captain was sent for, but
he assured his superior that the man was
not crazy, and that be made a formal re
quest to speak to him. No, he could not
say what he wanted to see him about. The
man seemed to think that it was a matter
of such importance that only the admiral
should hear It.
The gray-bearded officer arose from his
chair, dunned his uniform— for It would not
do for him to appear upon the deck of his
flagship except In the prescribed uniform of
the day— and then, after drawing on bis
gloves, he sent word to the captain that be
was ready to see ihe man. The captain
came on deck, and, accompanied by the first
lieutenant and officei of the deck, the two
proceeded to the mast, where the figure of
the seaman was outlined against a group of
his wondering companions, who bad assem
bled in Urn gangway, curious to know what
it all mean.
"Well, sir, what's the trouble with yon?"
asked the admiral, as the man touched bis
cap and stood at attention.
"If you please, sir," replied the seaman,
I would like your permission to speak to
the ship's writer."
The result of the interview the legend
does not tell. But it is melancholy to note
in the now navy pay table that the services
of the individual with whom the story deals
are now valued only at $35 a month.

BARS ARE DOWN.
The Geary Restriction Law
Emasculated.
OPEN TO CHINESE CUNNING.
Identification Will Now Be but a
Farce.
PHOTOGRAPHS NOT REQUIRED.
Hysterious Flop by the Treasury De
partment—Prospects for Boom,
ing Certificate Brokerage.
The Geary act received an almost vital
blow in Washington yesterday.
That is why the Chinese who take en In
telligent interest in the pending reglstra
tration problem smiled yesterday.
i. That was why many who have had con
fidence that a solution of the problem of
Chinese restriction had been reached at last
by an effective law became skeptical again
and wondered If the future is to see shrewd
Chinese corruption on a larger scale than in
the palmy days of the habeas corpus mill.
The following startling and important
dispatch was received by Collector John C.
Quinn yesterday:
Chinese regulations modified to-day, dispens
ing with photos and requiring only one credible
witness. Follow mis course nereafier and give
such publicity to this change as you can.
John W. Mason,
Commissioner of luteiual venue.
Washington. D. U.
This remarkable action of tbe adminis
tration is said by friends of the Geary law
to amount to an abandonment of the re
quirement ol the Identification of the Chi
nese who may register.
It, of course, has no direct bearing on the
question of the constitutionality of the law,
or the problem of deportation, but it is
taken as an indication of the attitude of
the administration toward the law, and this
gives it a further significance.
The dispatch was received by Collector
Quinn at 1:30 p.m. yesterday.
The news was known in Chinatown even
before that hour, which shows how closely
the leading Chinese hero are in touch with
those who are fighting their battles in the
East.
A half hour after Sir. Quinn had re
ceived the order an intelligent Chinese
stepped Into his office who knew all
about it
While the order directly emanates from
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, it
is issued by order of Secretary Carlisle, as
that official is required by the law to pre
scribe the regulations.
The effect of this modification of the re
quirements for identification is that In case
the law is declared to be constitutional
and the Government goes about Us enforce
ment tho Chinese whom it Is attempted
to gather in for deportation will be found
as slippery as eels that one may try to catch
in mud, and Chiuese artifice and perjury
will find the greatest opportunities that they
have ever reveled in.
An even greater danger is stated tube that
after May 5 the barriers against smuggled
Chinese will be opened wide, for when a
suspected Chinese is caught one foot this
side of the boundary he may produce a
certificate of registration made to fit him
loosely or which he has been made to lit,
and It will be a hard matter to prove nega
tively that the loosely written description
in the certificate does not properly apply to
him.
The Geary act, approved May 5, 1892. pro
vided that all Chinese laborers and others
not privileged to remain, should apply to
the Collector of Internal Revenue in their
respective districts, for a "certificate of res
idence."
Section 7 of the law reads:
That immediately after the passage ot tills act
the Secretary if tin- Treasury shaft make such
rules and regulations as may be necessary for
the efficient execution of lids act, and shall
prescribe Hie necessary forms aud furnl«h the
necessary blanks to enable collectors of Internal
revenue to issue the certificates required
hereby, ana make such provisions that certifi
cates may be procured In localities convenient to
the applicant*. Such certificates shall be issued
Wtibonl charge to ihe applicant, and shall con
lain the name, age. local residence and occupa
tion of the applicant, and such oilier descrlp
lion of the applicant as shall be prescribed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, and a duplicate
thereof shall be filed In the office of (be Collector
Of Internal venue for Hip district willilo
which such Chinaman makes application.
It was in accordance with this provision
that the Secretary ot the Treasury under
tho last administration proceeded to carry
out the law in both its letter and spirit ly
imposing rules for the identification of all
registered Chinese, which would make
fraud practically impossible and give the
officers of the law a chance to beat Chinese
cunning.
The most Important of these requirements
was the photograph, for though to many all
Chinese may look much aliks it would be
next to Impossible to deceive an expert with
an official seal across the photograph pasted
on the certificate and a duplicate photograph
ou an official register.
Another precaution was that tie affidavits
of two credible witnesses should also be tiled.
the collector being the judge of the credi
bility.
Now that the photographs are done away
with and the path further smoothed by
requiring but one witness the only identifi
cation that remains Is the written descrip
tion, consisting of age, height, color, marks,
etc.
Men of experience in dealing with Chi
nese said yesterday that now identification
would count for but little. If a Chinese
should register and secure a certificate
that in May, 1893, he was so high, so dark,
and had a mole on his left cheek that
certificate could be used by many another
Chines* who could get across the border
any time in the future with it In his posses
sion.
If the Chinese went to China it would be
as valuable as the old certificates that Billy
Boyd found so profitable.
If the Chinese wanted to stay his certifi
cate would bo worth ' money to certificate
brokers and smugglers and if he, by chance,
were arrested for having no certificate he
might plead that he had lost It and provision
Is made in the law for allowing proof of
such a misfortune.
"It will not be surprising to me," said
one gentleman last evening, "If there is a
rush for certificates now of Chinese sent to
register by those who want to go Inso the
certificate business. It, looks to me as
though the prospects are good for Chinese
crooked work running riot in the future."
Collector Quinn declined to discuss the
matter last night, and merely said that as
the Government had now removed the two
features which the Chinese protested against
most vigorously, there should bo no further
delay in their complying with the law.
Other officials were not so reticent.
"This dispatch is a paralyzcr," said an
expert in dealing with the slippery Mongo
lians.
"The greatest safeguards against Chinese
repetition in obtaining certificates rested
upon this condition of photographs. A
written description is necessarily vague,
and at a pinch could, by means of Chinese
powers of Imitation, lie made to fit almost
any man; but. the sun will not lie.
"The two photographs previously de
manded by the law were almost absolute
guarantees that the Chinaman they repre
sented was safely registered and could be
accounted for. Now we shall be back in the
old slough of bewilderment nt the mercy of
Chinese craft.
"A certificate may describe a man with
high cheekbones, a scar on bis forehead
and a mole on his chin. But If there was a
party of Chinamen to be smuggled ashore
that same certificate could, by a little man
ipulation, be made to fit one-half of them.
"Given photographs, however, and ex
perts to handle them, doubling up or sub
stitution would be Impossible.
"The Chinese knew that, and this is tbe
reason that they have been woiklngsllcntly,
against the photograph." "
"What Is the . motive of the stufdes.
change?"
"Of course U. Is Impossible, tb db mora
than hazard a MirjMtuWv but, I b'tlieve- that
this is a gross instance of a 'flop' oh the
part of the paternal Government.
"No doubt pressure of a more or less se
vere nature has been brought to bear by
the attorneys of the Chinese and through
the diplomatic legations.
-"It would be urged, doubtless, that
through ignorance, or perhaps wrong ad
vice, the balk of the Chinese had refrained
from registering, and thai since their action
had penetrated so deeply it would require
an immense concession to bring them into
line at this late date.
"The next argument would consist In the
marshaling of the prospective difficulties of
deportation. Figures would be used In
geniously to show the impossibility of
handling such an immense number of re
calcitrants as would remain on May 5.
"Lastly the wily advocates of the Chinese
would resort to vague menace of retalia
tion by the Chinese Government should the
act be carried out in its entirety as designed.
"Tho Interfering with American trade in
Chines* pons and expulsion of American
traders from the Flowery Kingdom would
form an Important part of the covert argu
ment in this particular regard.
General curiosity was expressed as to the
influences that had . brought about this con
cession to Chinese prejudices against the
law and opinion was divided as
to whether it was due to requests
from high Chinese sources or whether it
was decided on by the Treasury Depart
ment as a wise move to induce registration.
What effect the order will have in regis
tration remains to be seen. It re
moves the expense of 60 cents for
photographs, but the opposition of
the all - powerful Six Ccompanies Is
understood to be against the whole princi
ple of the law, and It is expected that the
question of constitutionality will be fought
with unabated vigor.
RIORDAN'S VIEW.
The Attorney for the Chinese Makes
Light of the Change.
"What will be the effect of the new regis
tration repeated Attorney T. D. Biordan,
the well-known champion of the Chinese,
last night.
"Well, I don't think It will cut much
figure in inducing the Chinese to register,
that is, not the Chinese who have a right to
remain in the country after May 5.
"Possibly though It will have a very ftlm
ulntiiig effect on the Chinese certificate,
brokers.
"The new regulations open, If I mistake
not. a very wide door to fraud. By doing
away with the photograph the certificate Is
practically worthless.
"Any Chinese who are Inclined toward
fraud will now select some smooth-faced
boy, with no special marks on mm, and
have lii i registered forty or fifty limes.
One day he will be Ong Say, another Wung
Lung and so on. . »
"What is the uso of the Geary act without
theTphotograph proviso?
. "As to the ralson d'etre of the new regu
lation that I cannot imagine, unless it be to
induce the Chinese to register. Yet here
are people howling to have the Chinese de
ported. Where is the consistency of wish
ing them to register?
"I would give a great deal to know how
this change was brought about. No, I had
no intimation of its possibility and did not
bear of the order until I was shown the
dispatch. No pressure wis brought to bear
upon the authorities at Washington In this
matter from the Chinese as far as I know,
and I would be likely to know if any such
effort had been made.
"The plain facts are that an endeavor ii
being made to get the Chinese to register.
But the Chinese will not he induced to regis
ter by the removal of difficulties in the way
of that act. They oppose registering for
totally different reasons.
"As 1 said, the new regulation may In
crease (he number of forged certificates,
but will not materially increase the number
of bona fide ones."
CHINATOWN AGITATED.
The Mongols Not Very Long in
Grasping the Situation.
The more intelligent of the Chinese were
visibly and audibly stirred by the news
from Washington, received yesterday.
A visit to the headquarters of the Six
Companies and a talk with Assistant Secre
tary Hlngof that institution quickly made
it clear that John is fully alive to the op
portunities offered him.
Every move In the registration game is
closely watched in Chinatown, and although
handicapped by ignorance of the-Ameiican
language the dispatch from Commissioner
Mason was known early in the afternoon in
all its material features.
"Chinaman no havo picture now; no one
witness to reglisler; I savvy," was the way
they put it.
On being pressed for an opinion regarding
the way in which the new regulation wr.s
looked upon. Tling explained in very fair
pigeon English that the new method was
much "easlier" and was altogether "heap
good" for Chinamen to "leglisier."
He was at some pains to make it quite
plain that he himself being a merchant
was not bound to register ; that ho had not
drtue and did not Intend doing so.
But he declared that "many more" would
register now, although admitting that no
official order to that effect had so far been
Issued.
He further explained that he had heard
much talk about the new regulation and
that he had been told it had coins from
Washington and was to be found in the
papers. He thought Attorney Eiordan
would know all about it and could explain
why the new order had been made.
As Tling talked, a crowd of respectable
Chinese gathered round and participated In
the conversation to some extent. The sub
ject was evidently one of absorbing in
terest, and they seemed perfectly willing to
allow Tling to act as their spokesman. "-'_ '
The same interest in the question was
manifested elsewhere in Chinatown. Ap
parently all had heard of the modification
in their favor, but some seemed inclined to
await orders from headquarters before com
mitting themselves to any course of action.
Slept Fifty -Seven Years.
St. Louis Kepubllc.
living's "Rip Van Winkle" is believed to
have its foundation in the wonderful story
which Pliny relates concerning ihe extraor
dinary experience of ashephard named Epi
menides. The scene is laid in Crete, the
time summer, and F.pimenides a boy of soma
15 years. During the very warmest part of
the day be found that some of the sheep
were missing and at about the same time
heard prolonged bleatings from the almost
inaccessible portions of a neighboring moun
tain. He grasped his crook and started oil in
the direction of the sounds. The path was
a very difficult one to travel over, the day
hot, so that long before ho reached the stray
sheep lie was so overcome with fatigue that
he lay down in a cool place In a dry cavern
to sleep. He slept, so Pliney gravely in
forms us, fifty-seven years. At last, when
he had finally managed to shake off the ter
rible lethargy that had held him spellbound
for more that half a century, he returned
to the herd only to find a brother younger
than himself a tottering, cray-haired grand
father. That "111-wind" proverb Is very
appropriate in this case, for we find that
Epimenides' enforced slumbers had en
dowed him with miraculous powers. He
became a great epic poet and Gnostic
philosopher, and even defied death itself for
nearly three centuries, not dying untlijafter
bo had celebrated his two hundred and
eighty-fifth birthday.
A Delicate Internment.

An electrical Instrument lias recently
been invented which is sufficiently delicate
to detect the presence of an eighth of an
Inch of steel or iron wire at a distance of
six inches from itself. It Is intended for
use In locating small pieces of magnetizable
metal such as needles, tacks, steel and Iron
chips, etc., that may have entered the
human body unawares and hidden them

probably prove to be of great service where

A GLARE OF GOLD.
Easter Celebrated in the
Russian Church.
CHIMES AND SOLEMN CHANTS.
In Qeorgeous Vestments Bishop Nich
. olas Presides Over a Representa
tion of the Resurrection.
Precisely at 12 o'clock last night the belli
of the Russian Church on Powell street,
near Union, began to ring forth a succes
sion of joyous peals that spread over the
atmosphere like Christinas chimes.
It was the announcement of the begin
ning of the celebration of the Russian
Easter, which according to the Julian cal
endar occurs to-day.
Within the church all was light and
brilliancy. Every one who has been with
in the little structure knows how gorgeous
are Its mural decorations, gold and silver
and blue and silver meeting the eye at every
elance. Last night a thousand candles
blazed around, and the scintillations on the
walls caused them to look like living sheets
of light. Light shone all around, from the
crystal pendents of thelsllver chandeliers,
and broke In a blaze from innumerable
sperm candles on the altar and within the
sanctuary.
The picture was beautiful to one who
loves color, the whole scene sparkling like
the seven-fold radiations of the prism.
Tim sounds of the chimes had scarcely
melted away when the Russian Easter ser
vices began in the presence 01 one of the
largest congregations that have ever gath
ered within thu walls of the little church.
After a Gregorian clnnt by the choir
Bishop Nicholas attired in a purple mantle
trimmed Willi silver, and wearing a magnifi
cent mitre of (told studded with rubies and
diamond*, came from the sanctuary chant
ing In Greek the words, "Christ Is
Kisen."
On each side of him were acolytes swing
ing censors from which issued clouds of in
cense that spread throughout the church.
Bishop Nicholas paused before a bier of
flowers, which rose in front of the altar to
the height of ten feet. 'On this bier in a
miniature sepulcher reposed a representa
tion of the body of Christ. The bier was
one mass of the most beautiful flowers, and
on its front were the words in Greek.
"Christ is Risen."
The Russian hierarch chanted In a low,
melodious voice, and his assistant, Father
Nicholas,
Green kevich and Father Nitronepolsky
took up the sepulcher and carried it within
the sanctuary. This was a symbolic rep
resentation of tho resurrection.
As soon as the Bishop proclaimed the joy
ful tidings, faithful orthodox Russians
crossed themselves, bowed low in prayer,
and each one of the congregation lit a long,
narrow, sperm candle, which he held in his
or her hand. The candles were held in the
hand, burning all the time till the end of
service, which was to continue until 4
o'clock A. 51.
After the declaration of the resurrection
a procession of all the clergy of the church
began, though it was with difficulty that a
passageway was made.
Bishop "Nicholas threw off his purple
mantle and stood arrayed iv one blaze of
silver, his vestments being specially made
in St, Petersburg.
He is a large nnd handsome man, with a
fine intellectual face, great dark eyes, and
a beard black as a raven's wing reaches
down to his chest. With his golden-fretted
miter glistening with gems, aud his gor
geous stiver habiliments chanting in a
sonorous voice the hymns of Easier, he pre
sented a magnificent picture.
Behind him followed the clergy of the
church. Then came the choir of boys and
men, and last came a number of small girls
attired in white, strewing llowers as they
went.
After traversing tho church the proces
sion once more reached the sanctuary, and
the long services of Easter began as far as
the ritual was concerned. The choir was
conducted by Archdeacon Soboleff, whose
sonorous bass was one of the features of the
singing.
There was no music to accompany the
singing, the melody being that of pure
voices alone. Those who heard the chant
ing of the choir were rewarded with a treat
that paid them fur remaining after mid
night.
Toen followed Hie rending of the Gospel
in Russian, Latin, Greek, French ami En
glish, bleb look up considerable time.
The candles Iv the hands of the congre
gation continued to bum and when they
reached the finger-tips fresh ones were ob
tained. Still they stood patiently, there be
ing no chairs in the church", while the
lengthy ritual went on.
The impressive ceremonies were to last
until 4 o'clock, and when the Bishop con
cluded his last chant of Christ has Risen,
the congregation was to come forward and
kiss him. Then each in tho congregation
turned to his or her neighbor, mid kissed
each other saying:
"Christ has risen indeed." After the
conclusion of tho religious ceremonies, the
entire audience were to be invited into the
Bishop's parlors and provided with a sub
stantial collation.
