New YORK, May 20, 1910.
The good people of Gotham are in an estacy
of delight at the wonderful exhibition of grace
| full dancing and superior pantomimie acting with
which the beautiful and enchanting Fanny Els
sler has been charming them during her engage
ment at the Park. Her sudden aud unexpected
appearance among us, has had the effect in the
world of theatricals, that splendid meteor
thrown from the starry canopy Of heaven. would
have produced in the physical world She is in
deed an enchanting creature, and notwithstand-
ing all the affected prudery with which some of
the press have thought proper to speak of the de-
moralizing tendency of such performances, she
will rise above all such vulgar motives of false
modesty, and with her exhibitions of the Sc
cret workings of the human heart (and they have
never been surpassed in this country) Fanny
Elsser will contribute more to the alienation of
the dull sorrows of our people, than if she
had come amongst us to represent the ira
gical presentations of Shakespeare. We bid
her god speed. She will meet, as she richly de-
serves, in every quarter of our country, with
hearty welcome, and the gladstone smiles of a de-
lighted auditory will accompany her, in her ira
wells through this land of freedom. To say that
she is the most graceful, chaste, ornate, and en-
chanting performer, in her own enchanting line,
is to say no more than the elite of Europe have
said before, and to which just sentence the people
of the great city of New York, have added thun-
dering echo.
Celeste is adding fresh flowers to the beautiful
wreath with which her crown is embellished
She is still the charming Celeste, and we hope
she may long continue to contribute her portion
to the qualification of her innumerabIe admirers

WASHINGTON, May 10.
In the Senate a memorial was presented by
Mr.. Calhoun, from numerous matters in the city
of New York, stating that silk hats and fur boz

the duty imposed may be graduated by the com

The bill to provide for outstanding claims to
bounty lands for military services in the late
war with Great Britain, was discussed at some
length between Messrs Prentiss, Barton, Sewer,
Holland, Clay, Smith of Indiana, and others,
and was at last ordered, on motion Of MIR. Hol-
land, to be postponed until tomorrow, in order to
proceed with the Bankrupt Law, when Mr..
Strange rose and addressed the body at great
length. His chief difficulty seemed to be what
the word bankrupt meant. He traced its origin
first to the Latin, then to the French, and lastly
to the Italian, but promising that bankers" was
bad Latin, to be found no where save in Aims
worth, and hence was of doubtful authority. In
this way the Senate was alternately tired and
amused with the classical "reminiscences and
enlarged reading of the senator. 1t is due to
him to say that he was favorable to the law, but
also to include corporations
The motion was informally pass ed over on mo
ton of Mr.. Norvall.

WASHINGTON, May 10.


In the House of Representatives an attempt
was made to take up the Sub-Treasury bill by
postponing all previous orders. The modest
Mr. Atherton, of n. H., was the mover The
opposition members of the House wish for pre-
vious action upon the bills for the support of the
Army and Navy. The administration members are
unwilling that action upon these bills shall precede
action upon the Sub-Treasury. This is neces-
sary, because when the Sub-Treasury bill is
der consideration, the plea will be that the Army
and Navy are suffering, and, therefore, speedy
action will be required upon the bills not acted
upon. If the Sub-Treasury bill is to pass, and
there is but little doubt that it will pass, the
Wing members are determined to discuss the
bill and oppose its Objectionable features.
The bill to secure the freedom of elections was
discussed at some length by Mr. Gentry. He

CANADA.-It appears from an article in

Province the provisions Of an Act of the Up

der The Courier thinks the Act in question
should not have been sanctioned at all by His
Excelleney; but that having been sanctioned
as it respects Upper Canada, lis privileges
should now be extended to the Lower Pro-
vince. AT this moment, says the Courier,
'fthe debts due by Upper Canada to Montreal
must be enormous in amount. The Montre-
al Merchant has no other means of paying
his debts, than in the Bank paper of Upper
Canada, unless he takes British silver at
Toronto or Kingston, at the increased rates,
and brings it down here, to dispose of it at
ruinous loss. The paper ofthe Upper Cana
da Banks is not legal tender, here,-our
Banks will not take one ofthe rags, as mat
ter of course;-and, the consequence is
that with his hands full of Bank Notes, the
Merchant cannot lift his bills at the Bank,

A Joint resolution was introduced, authorising
the distribution of the books entitled the "Di-

BANKRUPT BJLL.-This measure was again
discussed at some considerable length. MIR.
Dixon, of Rhode Island, gentleman whose
knowledge Of the commercial interests of this
country, not to mention its business operations
generally, gave his views in clear and succinct
manner, showing most conclusively that any
system uniform in itself, would be better than
the present disjointed and partial system of in
solvent laws which pertain throughout the
States He argued with much zeal that the
privileges of these laws should embrace all who
chose to make themselves bankrupt, for in this
country individuls were not confined to any one
business. Some were farmers, merchants, and
even professional men. He called the attention
of the Senate to the wide spread ruin which per-
vades the country, the utter impossibility,i in the
present deranged state of business, and the cur
rencv for produce to be sold, or money to be col
lected.
Mr. Norval tn sht no one act would release
the country of tythe of the distress which
bankrupt law would, and went into a constitu-
tional argument to prove the power Of Congress
