CZAR AND EMPEROR, Russia! Ruler Embraced by Emperor "WilliamToasts of the Two Monarchs. Berlin, Oct. 11. The Czar arrived here this morning. Ho was accompanied by the Grand Duke George, his second son. Emperor William, several of the royal princes, Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert Bismarck and a number of generals and court officials received the Czar and Grand Dnke at tho Lehrtcr station. The Czar was attired in the uniform of the German Alexander Regiment, of which he is honorary colonel. He and Emperor William embraced repeatedly. After their greeting was over, tho Czar turned toPrinco Bismarck and shook hands with him. He also held a brief conversation with tho Chancellor. The members of the Czar's suite were then presented to tho suite of Emperor William, after which tho guard of honor defiled before tho Czar, the band playing tho Russian national hymn. Tho party then proceeded to tho state carriages, which were in waiting, and drove through the Brandenburg gate, across tfie Kcanigsplatz and to the Russian embassy, tho horses going on a fast trot for the entire distance. As the imperial carriages passed tho Brandenburg gate a park of artillery began firing a salute of 101 guns. The streets along the route wero plentifully decorated with flags and bunting, but the crowd which had gathered did not cheer as the Czar passed along. Emperor William wore the uniform of the Russian Wyborga regiment, and had on his breast the decoration of the Russian Order of St. Andrew. Prince Bismarck also wore his Russian orders. The admirals attached to the British channel squadron, which is now at Kiel, were present at the station when the Czar arrived, and were saluted by him. ' Emperor William, before leaving the Russian embassy, sat down to a luncheon with the Czar and his party. Count Schonvalofr, the Russian embassador, presided, and was the lirst to raise his glass to welcome the Czar, after which ho called for three cheers. and there was a hearty response. The band played the Russian anthem, and then the Czar toasted Emperor William. Ihe two engaged in animated conversation until the Emperor loft the embassy, at half 1ast 12. Bismarck did not accompany the imperor, but remained at the embassy and held a conference with tho Czar, which lasted fully an hour and a half. Later the Czar drovo out in an open carriage, sur rounueu Dy cavairy. ana paia a visit; to me Empress Augusta and to tho Empress Frederick The dinner in the White Hall of tho Schloss. took place this evening, and there were 140 covers. Tho Czar wore the uniform of a German uhlan regiment, and was seated between the Emperorand the Empress with Prince Bismarck as his vis-a-vis. Emperor William drank to the welfare of his honored friend qnd gnest, and to the continuance of the friendship between their two honses, which had been maintained for over a hnndred years, and which he was resolved to cherish as a sacred legacy from his ancestors. The Czar, replying in French, thanked the Emperor for his friendly sentiments and drank to his welfare. Turning then to Prince Bismarck the Czar raised liis glass and drank to tho Chancellor, who stood up, emptied his glass and bowed deeply. There was a similar exchange of courtesies between Emperor William and tho Russian embassador. Ex-Empress Frederick will give a dinner in honor of the Czar to-morrow. The invitations are limited to royal personages. To-night the Czar attended a gala performance at the opera-house. The second part of Wagner's liKheingolcl,y was given, followed by the "Coppelia" ballet. Tho Czar sat between tho Emperor and Empress. Grand Duke Georgo and members of the German royal family wero present. In the interval between the opera and tho ballet tea was served in the ro3al box. At the conclusion of the performance the Czar and his son returned to tho Russian embassy. , At the opera the Czar wore his Prussian uniform, while Emperor William wore his own cuirassier uniform. Both looked grave and somber until the ballet began, when their faces lighted up, and thereafter they conversed in a gay manner. After the banquet in the schloss the fmests were entertained in the picture galery. The Czar, noticing Prince Bismarck standing, rose and kindly bade him bo seated, whilo he stood and conversed genially with the Chancellor. The Czar's toast at the banquet was couched in the fewest possible words, which were hardly audible. The impression produced was like a. cold draught. Emperor William spoke in German, except at the end of his toast when he exclaimed in Russian: "Long live his Majesty the Czar; hurrah for the Czar." The presence of Prince Bismarck at the opera-house caused a sensation, nshe had notjattended an opera or concert in twenty years previously, not even being present on the occasion of the celebration of the late Emperor William's ninetieth birthday. SEVERE SENTENCES. Directors of the Bankrupt Comptolr D'Esconipte May Stay In Prison Alt Their Lives. London', Oct. 11. Attachments were issued in Paris yesterday against tho property of nine of the directors of the bankrupt Comptoir d'Escolnpte, which was ruined by tho failure of the copper corner. Six of the responsible directors of the institution are now imprisoned, having been convicted of violating the banking law iu advancing tho funds of tho bank as loans upon copper certiiicates. The directors and account ants were sentenced to pay to the liquidaj. . ii. i I. . it i j' i i- ; . i tors oi tne uaiiK ior tne uenent oi us creuitors the sum of 760,000, and to stand committed nntil the amount is paid. This means a life sentence to most of those convicted, as they were themselves ruined by the calamity their illegal action brought upon the bank. Several of the directors who are involved in the sentence took no active part in tho management of tho institution, and. though technically guilty with tho rest, really knew nothing of the recklessness with which tho money of the institution was staked npon a gambling venture. EiForts are being made to secure relief for these men from the terms of the sentence, and they will in all probability be successful. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS.

Writing from Seoul, Corea, under the date of Sept 3, Mrs. Heron says she has just recovered from a long illness. Sho says the king would not do such a thing as was charged against him. He is a kind man, of great strength of character. He and the queen have treated Dr. and Mrs. Heron cordially and generously. They will do all in their power to protect the missionaries. The only danger is from the ignorant and superstitious natives. Utb. Heron says that Dr. Heron has personally treated about 3,000 sick Corcans, who. with their families, are very grateful, and Mrs. Heron does not think violence will bo done her husband or herself, whatever may happen to others. She recites several incidents showing their friendly relations with tho royal family. Iu conclusion she says: "But, in closing, let me say positively that Dr. Heron and I ere not now preaching or teaching Christianity, except by example, which we earnestly pray may be worthy of the name of Christian. The laws of the land forbid it. and, through the United States minister, about a year ago, the American missionaries were absolutely forbidden to teach religion. We long for the time when our treaty shall be revised and freedom of religion allowed. Until that time we are doing all in our power to gain the confidence and respect of the people, with what success you may judge from my letter." . ii .i. PROMISED THEM PENSIONS.

Mysterious Arrests of Which the Authorities Are Unwilling to Talk. Chicago, Oct It Three new suspects were arrested by the police this afternoon for alleged complicity in the murder of !Dr. Cronin. The greatest mystery prevails around the Criminal Conrt building, where the men are confined, and neither State's Attorney Longenecker, his assistants, nor the police will say anything about the men in custody. The first intimation of the important proceedings were given by the State's attorney in Judge McConnol's court-room at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when Judge Longenecker r.&ed that court toadjourn nntil to-morrow.

Chief Hubbard and Captain Schuttier finally came out. The former went into the jail, and had a long talk with a prisoner named Gilligau. Captain Schuetlcr went away with some detectives, but soon returned with two prisoners, and a bailiff came shortly after with a third. All were at once placed under arrest, and locked up in the State's attorney's and the bailiffs offices, and were watched by detectives as a double precaution. The men were taken separately into Judge Longenecker's private office, where, it is learned, a stenographer took down their statements. The State's attorney absolutely refuses to talk, saying that he does not wish to spoil his case, and that no information will be allowed to get out until to-morrow. At 11:30 p. m. seven men were in the State's attorney's office, presumably underf oing examination. At this hour Attorney lills came out, and to the score of waiting reporters reiterated the statement made by the State's attorney that no information whatever would bo given out.

His meeting with Miss Hackett, ashort bnt ardent courtship, marriage, a week's honeymoon, then a sudden business call to Sj'dney preceded, by the .drummer borrowing from his hew father-in-law, tells the Australian end of the story. Mailhouse was next heard of in San Francisco, in a letter telling Miss Hackett to expect him by tho next steamer. She did not wait but took tho first vessel for the United States, investigating en route his record, of which .she had apmehow got an inkling. Mailhouse was at home with his first wife last night when arrested. He had no notice of what was coming until confronted at police headquarters ny the woman he supposed to be at the antipodes.

The three boys and the mother fell prostrate on tho floor, overcome by the heat and flames. Mr. Daily rushed out of the house to call assistance, but all his eff orts to save the unfortunate inmates were futile. The house was consumed in a few moments. The charred and blackened bodies of the four victims presented a sickening sight. Mrs. Daily's limbs were burned from her body, and her flesh was cooked to the bone. The three sons were not as horribly burned as the mother, but their blackened bodies could not be identified until placed sido by side.
