was warmly contested, and some good shooting
was made by both contestants. This is the sec

latter won victory last week at Phila-

as already reported in the HERALD, TO an accident

A HISTORIC MEETING.

Senator Wilson was In the city yesterday. He
called on all his old friends and then started to go
down town. At Canal street he got into an 0mni.

isted him in getting in. Senator Wilson did not
know at first who it was, when he suddenly heard
voice

1t was the gentleman who had helped him in.
Senator Wilson looked at him, and. beaming in a
smile said
The two friends shook hands cordially.

Vice President.
"Well, old boy, how are you ~ the eloquent
champion of Horace Greeley asked.
"l'm very we'll old boy: how are You 9'' Senator
Wilson returned, still shaking his friends hand.
Senator Sumner said he was pretty well indeed he
was very well. His health had greatly improved,

and not a word referring to politics or
the the Presidential res election was spoken: When
Astor House, where he met a reporter OF the
HERALD and partook OF some beef broth and an
apple pudding. Senator Wilson was in a very good
humor and talked freely to the reporter. Among
other things he said that the Senate had more men
Of ability now than It had at the times OF Webster,
Clay and Calhoun. Speaking Of the future Of the
country, he said that Canada would belong to the

OF Ireland which seems to bite away the vowes
and leave the consonants quyering on the tongue,
said to me, my paper Is not, as / see intmated in
the HERALD, an organ OF the Dominion govern
ment. II is the organ OF no party, no administra-
tion. Whatever is good in party or government
advocate; whatever Is bad denounce. AS for
the HERALD's remarks, we only make such response
as the voice OF the people would express. There is
no feeling beyond the reflection Of that which
comes from the sentiments OF our constitu-
ents paper and its readers make
a common cause. We want no annexa-
ton nor independence, neither do our subscribers.
America is In no condition to ask US to enter her
Union. We are doing wen as it is. We are de-
veloping our resources, spreading out lines OF
travel, rendering our political machinery moro
handy and servceable, and have every reason to
be thankful with our present condition. What can
America give us In return for our allegiance
Whatever may happen in the future, at present 1t
Is certain that Canada has desire to change her
relations and whatever blowing the papers in
New York or elsewhere may have to the contrary
will have no effect on the situation. The HERALD,
having large circulation and influence at the
other side, may give the impression to the people
Of the United States that we are frettng for con-
nectiOn with them. Where is the use in spreading
such delusion II we wanted union with America
plenty OF men and papers would give ex-
preston to the sentiment in the morning. As
you hear nothing Of the Kind you may be sure the
desire has no existence
1t being near the bewitchng hour of night the
benevolent Beatty took his departure.
THE PROMINENT INDEPENDENCE ADVOCATES.
The only man OF prominence in this city who
came out for independence was Hon. William Nc
Dougall; but it appears he lodged around among
parties and now he may be found supporting the
administration. They have common trick here,
unless man is well known, OF killing or candi-
date for office by saying he harbors annexation SEN
tmcnts. Sir A. 7. Galt OF Montreal, Is the other
prominent advocate of independence, and, as
everybody knows, Hon. Joseph Howe, OF New
Brunswick is the leading spirit OF the anne xation
company. Other views OF Canada shall obtain at
the capital Ottawa.

Italian Opera-La Favorita.

Italian Opera-la FavOrita.
The cher d'Ruure OF Donizetti was given for the
last time last evening. Madame Lucca's name and
lame will be Identified with the last scene in
this opera. In her pathetic appeal to Fernando for
mercy, and the ecstltic 0utburst az flo yer, 10
m'abbandono," in which she is united again to the
object OF her love, the prima donna lent an addi-
tional charm to the highly dramatic n,aale of the
work. The beautiful aria, "Ahl mio Fernando"
revealed much tenderness and passion, and in the
magnificent finale to the third act her voice rang
out out with wealth OF tone that seemed to
fill the entire building In quantity as well as quail
ity OF tone Madame Lucca's voice Is phenomenal.
Next to her comes the Alfonso, Signor Sparapan,
voice so as to sing sharp, improved his rendering
of the role immensely. He sang the aria "vien,
Leonora," and with Madame Lucca the duet, "Ah!
Ialto ardor,n and the grand aria, "A tanto amor,'
in a style becoming a conscientious artist. Abrug
nedo was in better voice than usual, and he gave
"Spirito gentil' with q Brignollike degree OF
sweetness and expression; but his voice is so I'M
certain in tone and power that he always leaves
the disagreeabe impression that even after his
best efforts he has barely escaped breaking down.
1t is an unbalanced voice, that cannot be de-
pended upon, and the artist Detrays in his actions
the stage an irresOlution and want OF confidence
generally fatal to success. In the final duet he is

Musical and Theatrical Notes.

The Brooklyn Philharmonic Society gives its first
concert on Saturday evening. Though only half as
old as the New York Society, the Brooklyn Philhar
monc Is very ambitious to equal its elder sister,
and is doing some very good work.
Niblo's did not open last night, as was expected,
and is not to be opened till saturday. The work Of
furnishing the house, though pushed forward with
great vigor, has been found too immense to allow
"Leo and Lotusn to be produced as early as the
impatience OF the managers and the public desired.
ON Sunday last Mrs. james A. Oates was married

the Southern HOTEL in the presence Of Mrs. Oates'
theatrical company, q number OF invited guests,
including the local editorial fraternity, and the
BRIDES mother, from Kentucky. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. DR.. Berkely Of the
Episcopal Church, and the bride was given away
by Mr. Jones, the treasurer Of Debar's opera
House, where Mrs. Oates has been playing. Mrs.
Oates was particularly happy In being married in

School Society,"" an association whose scope is
somewhat like that OF society which formerly ex-
listed In New York city, and was the FORE
runner OF its present comprehensive school
system. The Santiago society Is largely
composed OF young men who, having been educated
at the National Institute''-a superior school OF
the German gymnasium typc-have become quite
beralized. The Primary School Society have es-
tabshed system OF schools which are doing much
good in which the education is free and secular.
The municipality also maintain primary schools,
which, however. are not secular in character. The
Republic only maintains or aids the second
ary schools, and furnished Santiago certain an
nual amount, which is expended for that purpose.
The Protestant churches, six in number also main-
tain free schools, and the Jesuits do the same. The
society schools, with which Senior Toro is Identified
are growing in usefulness and popularity. He states
that the reports OF our Bureau have been received
in Chile, and extracts thereof translated into
Spanish. The Commissioner has recently had

The arrival of a considerable number
of the Directors Of the n. 2. r. r. ac-
companied by Chief Engineer Roberts,
may be expected in a few days. AS the
Engineering problem is now solved by
the thorough surveys made this summer
by Col. Morris, there is no good reason
why the railroad incubus which has
rested for the past ten years over tie
industrial progress of this country,
.shoHld not be lifted. These gentlemen
cannot fail to see that the improvement
of the country must remain at a stand
still rs long as it is i'll their power to
shake the red flag of danger at every
considerable town upon Puget Sound.
Let us illustrate at Seattle--now the
conceded commercial centre, capital is
waiting for investment in substantial
.buildings-m aud residences
dependent wholly upon the projection
of the road alongshore north of Taco
ma. If it is announced authoritatiyely
by the visiting Directors that this road
will be built, then capital will not en-
.quire or care how far rorth the track Is
carried on, for all that is wanted is to
know that a railroad connection is to be
had. Seattle will then enter the race
with any other points that may De des-
iisnated, and be satisfied with making
the most of whatever clements of growth
she may have. But if these gentlemen
come and go without such inducemcnt,
the substantial growth of the country
will not only bo arrested, population di-
-vertei to California and other States
where definite plans are announced and
carried out, but we must expect a dim
mutton of population, and u with
.drawal of capital.
The citizens of Seattle will welcome
the visit of these gentlemen, and be
ready to afford them every facility for Il
thorough examination of this locality.
