The importano* which the authorities attach to the oaae is abundantly ahown by th* enormity of the precautions taken by the polioe in guarding the prisoners, who, in being conveyed to the court and back to Halloway Jail, were driven in a van aurrounded by a mounted guard heavily armed and carrying drawn sabers, and filled with policemen equally well proviied with mean* of preventing their escape. In addition to th* detail ot ooutable* riding iniide of the van with the prisoners, the top of the vehicle was occupied by half a doxsn "bobbies" of formidable aspect, and thus guarded the unlucky men were hurried from Jail to court and back again. The hearing was conducted with gnat secrecy, notice having been given at an early hour the public would not be admitted, but a great crowd congregated about the building and employed every specie* of argument to convince the official* that they were entitled to ad minion, but without avail. The hearing of the prisoner* 1* expected to develop exceedingly interesting revelation*, but a* detection in disclosing the proceedings involves certain punishment for contempt, it Is probable that the details will be slow in reaching the public. Pew things were more interesting to me than the different modes of worship that I saw the various nations whose countries I traveled on my tour around the world on a bicycle. From the irreligious cowboy of the wild west, who prides himself on caring for neither God, man nor devil, to the gentle Hindoo penitent dragging his emaciated body hundreds of miles that he may die on the banks of the sacred Ganges, are many interesting forms of worship, many strange beliefs.Boston, No*. 89.— A letter received by a clergyman in this city from William Duncan, the missionary, whoae persecution and that of bis followers in British Columbia a tow month* ago attracted so much attention, giv** an account of the transfer of the whole TwHUn colony to the new settlement, New Metlakalltla, in Alaska, under the American flt|. There have been rumors, of British- American origin, of the failure of this bold attempt, bat Mr. Duncan says that he has succeeded in transferring by canoes and other vessels all of his 800 followers from British Columbia to the United State* territory. He says: In the dining room there was wild commotion. Uost of the guests had finished breakfast, but among the few who were still at their ineais there was a wild tumult and rush for safety. 80 far as known, however, none of the guests were hurt In the kitchen were wreck and desolation.

It the red flag, steoped in the blood of martyr) to libortj, was dangerous to law and order, it was because law and order no longer represented liberty. The speaker advised all lover, of liberty to be as fiery in their language aD they pleased, and to defy the spies of tlx capitalistic press. His own remarks were no; immoderate, however. The number of disasters reported within the field of station operations during the year was 833. On board these vessels were 8,827 persons, of whom 6,272 were saved and 65 lost The value of the vessels involved in the disasters is estimated at ♦4,780,925, and that of their cargoes at *2,288,775, mokin;j the total value of property 17,075,700, of which $5,788,820 wu» saved and $1,286,880 lost. The number of vessels totally lost was 72. Besides the foregoing there were during the year 135 casualties to smaller craft, such as sailboats, rowboats, etc., on which there were 274 persons, 271 of whom were saved and 3 lost. The property involved in these instances is estimated at $90,830, of which $92,915 was saved and $3,915 was lost. Ill addition to persons saved from vessels there were 23 others rescued, who had fallen from wharves, piers, etc., and who would have perished without the aid of the life saving crews. On Friday young Mlddleton. while sitting in the schoolroom, was found poring over n volume entitled, "Artful Enoch, the Fly Crook."

On Aug. 16 a fleet of fifty canoes of our people arrived and gave me a ■very hearty greeting. As soon as their canoes were hauled up and £hey had taken some refreshment we met together for worship on the bead* The concluding prayer by a native showed by Its fervency how intensely they realised the importance of that hour and the magnitude of the work they undertaken. Their long looked for exodus had begun. Next day our little steamer arrived from Metlakalitla witb twenty-eight canoes and boats in tow. Prom thl« time the great tnrmoil of moving over their effects began. Fleet after fleet of canoes braved the stormy sea, and, though several times in great peril, I am thankful to say that upward of 800 of the people have got safely over, with most of their personal belongings. The weather it now so very stormy that we have to stay operations on the sea for a while. As one gets farther eastward into Catholic Bavaria and Austria these crossroad crucifixes present a very curious appearance. Attached to the cross] ike frame are seen saws, axes, plowshares, hayrakes, pitchforks, spades and all manner of agricultural implements. Sometimes the crucifixes are varied by snug little brick shrines containing images of the Virgin Mary, sundry of the saints and various Roman Catholic paraphernalia. Candles are burnt before the little doll like images of these wayside saints on' holy days and votive offerings are made by tho superstitious peasantry. A scene of confusion at onoe occurred. Some of the children screamed, others jumped out of the window, while others tried to get down the oellar.

Going B«ok to Work. Five times a day, in Mohammedan coun tries, the muezzin goes np on to the balcony of the tall minaret and sings out in a voice that con be heard half a mile away: "There is no God but one God, and Mohammed is hie prophet." Hearing this the devout Mussulman murmurs "Allah-il-Allah" i*i response, and pausing in whatever he may be doing he spreads his coat or something on the ground, slips his shoes off and, prostrating himself several times toward Mecca, recites sundry passages of the Koran, When the Mohammedan enters the sacred precincts of the mosque he leaves his shoes at the door and enters in his stockinged feet or in light slippers especially provided at the door by an attendant. The headgear is never removed by the Mussulmans for religious exercises, as with ourselves. tors on a Pittsburg Street. THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE. Buffalo, Not. 29.—After remaining out for four weeks, the striking and locked out ship carpenters, calkers and steel workers went back. A conference between the in teres ted parties was held, and it was agreed that none of the met. are to be discharged, and they will not be compelled to sign the agreement which partly caused the trouble. The six non-union men, whose discharge was askeu for, will be kept at work. The Union Dry Dock company estimate the loss of wages to the men since the strike began at $30,000.

Fleming, An Insurrection Feared Should Ferry or Clemenceau t» Chosen. Paris, Nov. 29.—The Communists and Socialists are not idle. The meetings which are held every night show a vast increase of strength. A feeling of uneasiness prevails throughout the capital, and the quiet, conservative people are getting thoroughly scaled. Should either M. de Freycinet or M. Ferry be elected to succeed M. Grevy as president of the republic it is thought that there will be trouble. M. Devoulede, who has resumed the leading role in the Patriotic League, even goes so far aa to threaten to turn tike latter into a revolutionary society if ex-Premier Ferry, the man who showed the white feather in the Boulangerforry episode and is mainly responsible for the Tonquin disasters, is elected president of the republic. Otherwise the iltuation remains about the same. M. Grevy's message of rtsignation will be read by Premier Rouvier on Thursday to the senate and to the chamber of deputies, which were yesterday adjourned until that date. On Friday uoth chambers assemble in a joint congress at Versailles to elect a successor to M. Grevy. It is believed that M. de Freycinet and M. Ferry stand the best chances of being elected. The revelations of ths Inquest on the body if George M. Graham, of Rochester, N. Y., ire also looked forward to with a great deal if interest, as there are many thing* con- Lected with the affair that need explauaion. Doherty, the man who is charged vith having done the shooting, will probacy escape hanging, because of the facta hat nobody exoept his wife, himself and lis victim was present, and that the dying le position of Graham was not taken by or n th t presence of • magistrate, nor did the lying man say anything to his attendants in :he hospital that coaid be used against his usailant Mrs. Doherty is legally debarred from giving testimony against her husband, and thus the testimony of the only person witnessing the affair is excluded.

THIIDlllM One of the most sanctimonious individuals in the world is the Persian. Belonging to the Sbiah branch of the Mohammedan faith, the Persians fairly outdo the rest of the world, not excepting even our noble Christian selves, in considering themselves the elect of all the peoples of the earth. In passing • Christian in the bazars the Persian imam or seyced will gather his flowing gown closely about him, lest perchance it should brush against the infidel and contaminate him by the contact. These people, too, would as soon think of. committing suicide as drinkingwater from the some cup as a Christian. The Persians are far more fanatical than the Turks. I have been inside plenty of Turkish mosques, and have stood on the minaret balcony with the muezzin and listened to him shouting the summons to prayer; but to penetrate into a Persian mosque would mean trouble. An unusual number of snow storms anf the prevalence of fogs matte the operation* of the service more than commonly difficult aud dangerous; but, nevertheless, the station crews succeeded in saving a much greater uuinber of lives and a larger amouut of property than ever before, iu some instances performing feats of unparalleled enterprise and daring. On one occasion a lifeboat crew went 110 miles to a rescue, and brought ashore 24 persons, the crews of two vessels. Ou several occasions the station men went from 10 to 20 miles and brought similar deliverances.OF Lord Lyons, until quite recently British ambassador to France, is sinking fast, and his death may be expected any day. His age—he is in his 71st year—is regarded as altogether against his rallying. In view of the character of his ailment, and having been a prominent personage in English diplomatic ciroles for many years, his displacement by the appointment of Lord Lytton to succeed him at Paris has undoubtedly preyed upon his mental and physical strength, and militate* greatly against his cbanoes of recovery. Lord Lyons was the British minister at Washington at the time of the Prince of Wales' memorable tour of the United States in the summer of I860, and took prominent part in the diplomatic controversies between the American and English governments which arose during the war of the rebellion.

Keystone Hall, Pittston, Falling 100 Feet Down a Mine Shaft to St. Louis, Nov. 29.—A dispatch to The Republ.can from Webb City, Jasper county, Mo., announces the accidental death at that place yesterday afternoon of C. K. Garrison, jr., and C. R. Garrison, nephews of the late Commodore Garrison and sous of D. R. Garrison, of this city. Death. The following table gives a summary of the statistics of the service from the introduction of the present system, in 1871, to the close of the fiscal year: —on— '*1 must not omit to mention briefly what our enemies ere doing. The governments of British Columbia and Canada and the ecclesiastical party from the English church are greatly incensed at our action. Everything Is being done that malice can invent to annoy and impoverish us. Our church, village hall, cannery, sawmill, store and workshops are all seizs I. Mora than that, they have taken from us over 80,000 feet of lumber which was in stock at the sawmill. The poor people are subjected ts annoyance that they almost fear to go for their personal property, for white men have been sent to the old village and ordered to take arms against our people if we attempt to bring sway the buildings I have named. Nothing, It seems to me, would gratify our enemies better than to see the people driven to desperation and commit some breach of the peace, that thereby the law (so called) might ibe invoked to punish them, but I am happy to say that thus far they have nobly restrained themselves under great provocation, and are even cheerful under their hardships and heavy lossC s. For some time to come our straggle with adversity will be great, having all our public buildings to rebuild, as well as homes to make in a forest."

To that strange, wild country in southern Khoraasan my mind wanders intuitively whenever I think of tt;e Mohammedan religion and its faithfui devotees. When at sunset the people would turn toward the west (Mecca being west from that country) and perform their customary prostrations and prayers they would fall to wondering among themselves why it was that I too did not follow suit. Why was it that I, of all the people there, omitted to bow my forehead to the ground and sing out, "There is no Qod save one Ood, and Mohammed is his prophet," I used to explain to them that most Christians devote one day oat of seven to the worship of Allah, and appropriate the remaining six to their own uso.

At we pursue oar oourae through India the peoplo who now stare in mute wonderment at the bicycle are heathens who will have none of the Christian or Islamite God. The gods they worship are numberless almost as the blades of grass in a meadow. The Hindoos have invested many things with the order of sanctity. The trees are sacred; rivers, mountains, birds and animals are objects of worship and veneration. Now and then I came across a tree, a neem, beel, peepul or banyan, streaked with red paint. This would be a tree especially selected for the purpose of worship as representing some particular god. The god the Hindoo travelers or outlying villagers could not have with them always, but they could always have th« tree, and so by worshiping the tree, his representative, would they gain the ear of somo hideous idol sitting in state tn his ehivala at Benares. A cpmmon sight would be that of a ~ing of dusky natives formed around a sacred tree, prostrating themselves and paying their devotions.Pine Apple andfteufchatel Cheese. Omaha, Nov. 29.—A. J.

The importano* which the authorities attach to the oaae is abundantly ahown by th* enormity of the precautions taken by the polioe in guarding the prisoners, who, in being conveyed to the court and back to Halloway Jail, were driven in a van aurrounded by a mounted guard heavily armed and carrying drawn sabers, and filled with policemen equally well proviied with mean* of preventing their escape. In addition to th* detail ot ooutable* riding iniide of the van with the prisoners, the top of the vehicle was occupied by half a doxsn "bobbies" of formidable aspect, and thus guarded the unlucky men were hurried from Jail to court and back again. The hearing was conducted with gnat secrecy, notice having been given at an early hour the public would not be admitted, but a great crowd congregated about the building and employed every specie* of argument to convince the official* that they were entitled to ad minion, but without avail. The hearing of the prisoner* 1* expected to develop exceedingly interesting revelation*, but a* detection in disclosing the proceedings involves certain punishment for contempt, it Is probable that the details will be slow in reaching the public. Pew things were more interesting to me than the different modes of worship that I saw the various nations whose countries I traveled on my tour around the world on a bicycle. From the irreligious cowboy of the wild west, who prides himself on caring for neither God, man nor devil, to the gentle Hindoo penitent dragging his emaciated body hundreds of miles that he may die on the banks of the sacred Ganges, are many interesting forms of worship, many strange beliefs.Boston, No*. 89.— A letter received by a clergyman in this city from William Duncan, the missionary, whoae persecution and that of bis followers in British Columbia a tow month* ago attracted so much attention, giv** an account of the transfer of the whole TwHUn colony to the new settlement, New Metlakalltla, in Alaska, under the American flt|. There have been rumors, of British- American origin, of the failure of this bold attempt, bat Mr. Duncan says that he has succeeded in transferring by canoes and other vessels all of his 800 followers from British Columbia to the United State* territory. He says: In the dining room there was wild commotion. Uost of the guests had finished breakfast, but among the few who were still at their ineais there was a wild tumult and rush for safety. 80 far as known, however, none of the guests were hurt In the kitchen were wreck and desolation.

The cry o: tliu rich for law and order was a cry for protection to their ill-gotten gains. The hanging ut Chicago was meant to intimidate thoat ivho dared to think of political refoim. It the red flag, steoped in the blood of martyr) to libortj, was dangerous to law and order, it was because law and order no longer represented liberty. The speaker advised all lover, of liberty to be as fiery in their language aD they pleased, and to defy the spies of tlx capitalistic press. His own remarks were no; immoderate, however. The number of disasters reported within the field of station operations during the year was 833. On board these vessels were 8,827 persons, of whom 6,272 were saved and 65 lost The value of the vessels involved in the disasters is estimated at ♦4,780,925, and that of their cargoes at *2,288,775, mokin;j the total value of property 17,075,700, of which $5,788,820 wu» saved and $1,286,880 lost.

The property involved in these instances is estimated at $90,830, of which $92,915 was saved and $3,915 was lost. Ill addition to persons saved from vessels there were 23 others rescued, who had fallen from wharves, piers, etc., and who would have perished without the aid of the life saving crews. On Friday young Mlddleton. while sitting in the schoolroom, was found poring over n volume entitled, "Artful Enoch, the Fly Crook."

The Hon. Mr. Dawson, commis ■loner of education at Washington, and the Bar. Dr. Fraser, of California, addressed the people, and the new flag was raised witb all due honors. On Aug. 16 a fleet of fifty canoes of our people arrived and gave me a ■very hearty greeting. As soon as their canoes were hauled up and £hey had taken some refreshment we met together for worship on the bead* The concluding prayer by a native showed by Its fervency how intensely they realised the importance of that hour and the magnitude of the work they undertaken. Their long looked for exodus had begun. Next day our little steamer arrived from Metlakalitla witb twenty-eight canoes and boats in tow. Prom thl« time the great tnrmoil of moving over their effects began. Fleet after fleet of canoes braved the stormy sea, and, though several times in great peril, I am thankful to say that upward of 800 of the people have got safely over, with most of their personal belongings. The weather it now so very stormy that we have to stay operations on the sea for a while. As one gets farther eastward into Catholic Bavaria and Austria these crossroad crucifixes present a very curious appearance. Attached to the cross] ike frame are seen saws, axes, plowshares, hayrakes, pitchforks, spades and all manner of agricultural implements. Sometimes the crucifixes are varied by snug little brick shrines containing images of the Virgin Mary, sundry of the saints and various Roman Catholic paraphernalia. Candles are burnt before the little doll like images of these wayside saints on' holy days and votive offerings are made by tho superstitious peasantry. A scene of confusion at onoe occurred. Some of the children screamed, others jumped out of the window, while others tried to get down the oellar. The youni: ruffian was master of tbe situation, and there is no knowing what be would have done had not a passing laborer seized him and taken the gun away.

Five times a day, in Mohammedan coun tries, the muezzin goes np on to the balcony of the tall minaret and sings out in a voice that con be heard half a mile away: "There is no God but one God, and Mohammed is hie prophet." Hearing this the devout Mussulman murmurs "Allah-il-Allah" i*i response, and pausing in whatever he may be doing he spreads his coat or something on the ground, slips his shoes off and, prostrating himself several times toward Mecca, recites sundry passages of the Koran, When the Mohammedan enters the sacred precincts of the mosque he leaves his shoes at the door and enters in his stockinged feet or in light slippers especially provided at the door by an attendant.

The meetings which are held every night show a vast increase of strength. A feeling of uneasiness prevails throughout the capital, and the quiet, conservative people are getting thoroughly scaled. Should either M. de Freycinet or M. Ferry be elected to succeed M. Grevy as president of the republic it is thought that there will be trouble. M. Devoulede, who has resumed the leading role in the Patriotic League, even goes so far aa to threaten to turn tike latter into a revolutionary society if ex-Premier Ferry, the man who showed the white feather in the Boulangerforry episode and is mainly responsible for the Tonquin disasters, is elected president of the republic. Otherwise the iltuation remains about the same. M. Grevy's message of rtsignation will be read by Premier Rouvier on Thursday to the senate and to the chamber of deputies, which were yesterday adjourned until that date. On Friday uoth chambers assemble in a joint congress at Versailles to elect a successor to M. Grevy. It is believed that M. de Freycinet and M. Ferry stand the best chances of being elected.

THIIDlllM One of the most sanctimonious individuals in the world is the Persian. Belonging to the Sbiah branch of the Mohammedan faith, the Persians fairly outdo the rest of the world, not excepting even our noble Christian selves, in considering themselves the elect of all the peoples of the earth. In passing • Christian in the bazars the Persian imam or seyced will gather his flowing gown closely about him, lest perchance it should brush against the infidel and contaminate him by the contact. These people, too, would as soon think of. committing suicide as drinkingwater from the some cup as a Christian. The Persians are far more fanatical than the Turks. I have been inside plenty of Turkish mosques, and have stood on the minaret balcony with the muezzin and listened to him shouting the summons to prayer; but to penetrate into a Persian mosque would mean trouble. An unusual number of snow storms anf the prevalence of fogs matte the operation* of the service more than commonly difficult aud dangerous; but, nevertheless, the station crews succeeded in saving a much greater uuinber of lives and a larger amouut of property than ever before, iu some instances performing feats of unparalleled enterprise and daring. On one occasion a lifeboat crew went 110 miles to a rescue, and brought ashore 24 persons, the crews of two vessels. Ou several occasions the station men went from 10 to 20 miles and brought similar deliverances.OF Lord Lyons, until quite recently British ambassador to France, is sinking fast, and his death may be expected any day. His age—he is in his 71st year—is regarded as altogether against his rallying. In view of the character of his ailment, and having been a prominent personage in English diplomatic ciroles for many years, his displacement by the appointment of Lord Lytton to succeed him at Paris has undoubtedly preyed upon his mental and physical strength, and militate* greatly against his cbanoes of recovery. Lord Lyons was the British minister at Washington at the time of the Prince of Wales' memorable tour of the United States in the summer of I860, and took prominent part in the diplomatic controversies between the American and English governments which arose during the war of the rebellion.

The following table gives a summary of the statistics of the service from the introduction of the present system, in 1871, to the close of the fiscal year: —on— '*1 must not omit to mention briefly what our enemies ere doing. The governments of British Columbia and Canada and the ecclesiastical party from the English church are greatly incensed at our action. Everything Is being done that malice can invent to annoy and impoverish us. Our church, village hall, cannery, sawmill, store and workshops are all seizs I. Mora than that, they have taken from us over 80,000 feet of lumber which was in stock at the sawmill. The poor people are subjected ts annoyance that they almost fear to go for their personal property, for white men have been sent to the old village and ordered to take arms against our people if we attempt to bring sway the buildings I have named. Nothing, It seems to me, would gratify our enemies better than to see the people driven to desperation and commit some breach of the peace, that thereby the law (so called) might ibe invoked to punish them, but I am happy to say that thus far they have nobly restrained themselves under great provocation, and are even cheerful under their hardships and heavy lossC s.
