FJRTRBSS MO.NROK, Va., April 20.— Rear Admiral De Lebran brought tlie Arethuse into the fleet Wednesday morning to the accompaniment of the

the fort and continued firing under way. Then the fort came back with Its twenty-one guns and the Arethuse followed with its fifteen guns to the vice admiral on the Blake, the big Britisher rousing all of Hampton Roads with its mighty return. The Philadelphia joined In to answer the salute of thirten paid Rear Admiral Gherardl's pennant. The Jean Bart lot loose thirteen explosives for its rear admiral and then the Giovanni Bausan and the Van Speyk came in until the whole fleet Was drenched in smoke. Each flagship ran up the French flag as she began the bom. bardment. On the Philadelphia and Arethuse the bands were playing the 'Marseillaise," but the martial note came indistinctly between roaring salutes. On every forward deck could be seen the lino of marines standing at present arms until the French flagship had passed and dropped anchor.
Hrollierly Love Among the Sullors. During the afternoon Admiral Glierardi was visited by the uniformed commanders of the Kaiserin, Seeadler and Aretliuse. The way the sailors fraternize is quite interesting. With men from six nationalities, it is somevliut remarkable that there have
"THE BRAZILIAN FLAGSHIP AQT'IDABAN. been no disturbances, but all the men seem to be on their good behavior. There has beeif no restraint on liberty, and the privileges have not boen abused. More of the foreign sailors speak English and there are American* who talk anything but their native tongue. This is quite the case with the Germans, for In the naval schools in Germany, it is said, the men are taught English as a part of their studies.
Knglish Warship Called Away. One of the British war vessels pulled up her anchor and left the Roads Wednesday afternoon on a serious errand. It was tho Partridge, Capt. McAllister. She was ordered to Nassau by the admiral. He received word that there has been an uprising of negroes at Grenada and that Capt. Taylor, of the gunboat Mohawk, was shot and badly wounded. Grenada is the chief of the tirenadaislands. This is a British possession. The Partridge will not be able to take part in the naval review. She is a
fuir sister to the gunboats Yorktown, Concord and Bennington. San Francisco's Proud Craw.
Crews of the various war vessels contested in four races Wednesday, fn every one the sailors of the San Francisco were victorious. All Americans are happy because in a contest with the most athletic fellows of the English and the Russian fleet American muscle, Amerloan skill and Amerloan boats carried off the palm. The races were rowed in the quiet waters of Elizabeth river. The results were as follows:
First race, slx-oared gigs—San Francisco, Philadelphia, Blake, Chloago and the Russian. Second race, twelve-oarcd cutters—San Franclsoo, Chicago, Atlanta, Newark, Charleston, Philadelphia an* Tartar.
Third race, six-oared whaleboats—San Francisco, Cartridge, Atlanta, Charleston and Australia-
Fourth race, four-oared dingy—Sar. Francisco, Baltimore, Chloago and Philadelphia.

HE MAY PIK.
NEW YUKK, April 20.—F.ihvin Booth, the tragedian, is lying at the Players' club, 10 Uramercy park, suffering from paralysis. It is feared that this, the second paralytic stroke the famous actor lias been stricken with, will prove fatal. At 11 o'clock Wednesday morning Superintendent McGonigle, of the Players' club, not having heard from Mr. Booth, opened the door of his sleeping apartmentat the club and found Uie tragedian lying in bed unconscious. Dr. St. Clair Smith snd Dr. Ransom were immediately summoned, and they gave it as their oxinion that he had been seized with a paralytio stroke some time during the night. Dr*. Smith and Ransom remained with their patient all day. and at midnight thought there were signs of cirascUiHAiiess. His condition was considered very critical, and the attending physicians said it was very doubtful if Mr. Booth would recover. flBMH llftllird Only a Little.
Mr. Booth remained in a lialf-un-conscious condition all day, rallying a little about 10 o'clock p. m. He recognized one or two of his friends and his daughter, but the recognition was merely momentary. The fact of Mr. Booth's illness was kept exceedingly
EDWIN noonr.
quiet, and only his immediate friends ind 1iis doctors knew of it. At a late hour Wednesday night the actors, of whom there, was. a large number at the club house during the afternoon and evening, chatted, dined and played billiards.entirely unconscious of theirpresident's condition.
Sinking Rapidly.
At o'clock this (Thursday) morning it was announced at the ciub house that Mr. Hooth was sinking and that while he might recover his condition is more precarious than at any time since his attack.
IIIm Firnt SeriouB Attack.
The first- attack of this kind which Mr. Hooth had was on April 3, 1S8H He was then playing "Othello" with Lawrence Barrett ill Rochester. He appeared weak as the performance went on, and finally another actor had to be put in his place to finish an act of tlie play. He had for the time lost the use of the vocal organs as in the present case. Mr. Barrett, fearing that the attack was of a much worse nature than it really proved, made an address to the audienoe, saying that Mr. Booth would probably not be able to act ngain. lie recovered, however, in a few days.
Since Mr. Booth gave his last performance at the Acandemy of Music in Brooklyn on April ", 1891, his health has been generally poor. He lias spent most of his time at the Players' club. A few weeks ago he appeared to be considerably better,.so much so, indeed, that it was reported that he would return to the stage next season. He had been in the habit of leaving the club to dine with his daughter once or twice a week and he went to the theater a few times. The last time he was seen in public was on April 8, when he attended Alexander Salvini's performance at the Manhattan opera house. For the last few days he has not been so well.
Brief Sketch of Mr. Booth.
(Edwin Booth was bornHear Baltimore, Md., November 15, 1833. His father was Junius Brutus Booth and he was trained for the dramatic profession. Having tilled minor parts, he made his first regular appearance on the Bt.ige as Trcssiil in "Richard III." in 1849, and in ISM played the part of Klchard lit. in place of h's father, who bad been suddenly taken ill. After a tour through California, Australia and many of the Pacific Islands he reappeared in New York in 18IS7, visited England and the continent in 1801, and returning to New York began a scries of Shakespearean revivals at the Winter Oarden theater In 1863. After a series of successful cngagemenM in Boston, Philadelphia and other large cities he began, in 18(18. the erection o( a new theater in New York which was opened February 3.18J0. but the cost of the building, In which Mr. Booth had Invested all his means, prevented ultimate pecuniary success, and the theater, although it still bore his name, passed from his hands. For several years he virtually rotirod Irom the stage, but near the close of 1877 he began in New York a series of brilliant performances. He rarely undertook any except the leading characters of Shakespeare—Hamlet, Othello, Iago, Shylock and Richard III.—Hamlet being his most admired personation. In 1881 he went to England, where he remained two years, meeting with marked success especially In "Othello," where he alternately took the partH of Othello and Ingo with Mr. Irving. In the early part of 1883 he played Shakespearean parts at tjerlln and Hamburg with great appiause. ills most uonsplcuous engagement since then was that with Lawrence Barrett, extending through two or three years.
When Mr. Booth last appeared he was support ed by Mae. Modjeaka.1 Threw Himself Under a Train.

-STOOD THE RUN.
A Day of Kvlraordlimry Kx'U -neiit Which KIUIK In a Itolurn or I'nuU-l«MM-i. More About the i11uri'K of Tuesday.
LANSING. Mich., April 20.—The ffrpalest financial crisis Lansing has over f*x|n.»rienc was successfully passed Wednesday, and a feeling of coniidenee and security once moivprevails. The run which compelled the Ceutral Michigan savings bank to close its doors Tuesday caused the wildest excitement among the depositors of all the other banks in the city and it was evident that with the commencement of banking hours Wednesday morning trouble would be renewed. Realizing the condition of affairs, the oftieers of all the other banks fortified themselves against a run by calling in a large amount of cash and deciding to take advantage of the ninety days' notice relative to savings deposits.
A Cowardly Otllctal.
Contrary to the general expectation the only bank disturbed was the Ingham county savings. it became noised about that its vice president, llr. J. S. Moffett, had been so disloyal as to withdraw his own deposit, and confidence thus being destroyed over -Jon excited depositors were clamoring for admittance before the doors were open. Most of them were savings depositors, whose drafts were refused, but all demands for commercial deposits were promptly honored.
Quieted the Crowds.
When the excitement was at its height State Bank Commissioner Slier wood appeared at the entrance of the bank and assured the crowd that their interests would be amply protected, tha*. the bank was in better condition than it had been in years, and had on hand sufficient cash to pay every dollar of its demand deposits. He advised them to go about their business and let business proceed quietly. This had the. effect of dispersing the crowd, and from that moment the crisis was passed. Not a bank in the city was thereafter disturbed.
Will l»».v In Full.
Commissioner Sherwood will not Complete the examination of the Central Michigan bank before to-night. He does not doubt, however, that business will be resumed in a few days. Neither the iron works nor lumber company has prepared a statement of its affairs for publication. O.M.Barnes, the mortgagee, is more than ever convinced of his ability to successfully handle their business aud pay dollar for dollar, and this belief is shared in by all the creditors and citizens generally. He lias accumulated a fortune estimated at 82,500,000 to 83,000,000, and there is not a doubt expressed that he can pay dollar for dollar, should things shape themselves that it may be necessary to put up funds for the several enterprises in which he is interested, and still have a fortune left.
To Save His Son's Credit.
Representatives of the commercial agencies, lawyers and others who have swarmed into the city In consequence of the embarrassments surrounding the Lansing iron and engine works and the Lansing Lumber company describe the situation as the most remarkable which has ever come under their observation. O. M. Barnes, since January 1. it is said, has been sacrificing his personal means in an effort to hold up the two big concern* which financial disaster has at last overtaken. During the time intervening since the first of the year it is estimated that he has paid from his private purse obligations incurred by tho two incorporations aggregating- between $100,000 and 1125,000. Tuesday he pledged his entire private fortune for the payment of further liabilities, exceeding over 1700,000, taking in return a mortgage covering all the property of the two firms.
Mr. Barnes' financial Interest in the companies is small. He took the action he did to save the credit and business honor of his sou, Orlando F. Barnes, president of both the iron works and the lumber company.

CAMBRIDGE, Minn., April 20.—The house of Dan Erickson, of Bradford, was burned Tuesday with all the household effects and the man, his wife and two children were cremated.

IK
Kcllevcil.
WASHINGTON. April 20. Only a in\ivc emergency will change the present financial policy of the government, and each day the otlicials of the treasury tepartment gain more confidence in the situation. Tuesday afternoon the secretary received gold from Philadelphia.--which is the first, offer thai the cast has matte to aid Iheadinin'islration.. and a small amount was also obtained from Chicago. This enlargement of the free gold and the usual daily increase, makes the condition more easy than it was. This, coupled with the belief that the order for gold on Friday to be shipped by Saturday's steamers will not he very large, leads to thp impression that the department will lie. able to meet the. demand for this weeu At the treasury it is denied that any order has yet been issued to stop the redemption in gold of the treasury notes of tSW), and the statement was made that nothing would be done, until the emergency arrived.
If any action has been taken il is probably in the form of a letter of warning of a personal character to the assistant treasurer in New York informing him what the policy of the treasury will be in case the free gold entirely disappears, but which might be used as an order if necessary. It is believed that so far as possible the western bankers will come to the aid of the seereta.y the treasury aud supply him with snllieient gold": to meet the present demands. The issuance of bonds would probably be tlie last method that the secretary would turn to if a crisis should arrive.
Secretary Carlisle said late Wednesday afternoon that lie had $1,1711.000 free gold in the treasury. This was obtained Tuesday and Wednesday principally from the west in exchange for small notes and relieves the tension at at least for the present.
