excelled. Mrs. Carter has full and bril-
liant soprano and sustains leading position
among the musicians of Boston, while
Mrs. Spring stands next to Annie Louise

'Ehe Giasssord Sisters.

The best play and the best house of the
week was the order Of things last evening
on the third appearance of the Glassford
Sisters at the Opera House. The play was
the old favoritc, 1.-The Hidden Hand" dra-
matzcd from Mrs. Southworth's Ledger
story. 1t is one of thrilling situations and
laughable scenes combined, and is therefore
well suited for any audience. The charac-
tiers of the New York ncwsboy and Capt.
tola were well taken by Miss Katie Glass
ford, who personated the devil-may care
newsboy with much naturalness and made
a capital "Capitola" in all of the charac-
ter's different situations. Mr.. W. II.
Cooper assumed the double part of the old
Major of Hurricane Hall and the
outlaw, Black Ronald" In the
former he somewhat over did the
scene in the police court, rayed Il little too
fiercely in his wrody attacks upon Cap
itola, but, withstanding all this he
seemed very familiar with both characters
and in the personation of the outlaw dis.
played much power and appeared the vii.
lain to perfection Mr.. Glassford created
much fun in the part Of "Wool,' making
it second to none, in interest TO the
audience. The idea of his woody head ap.
pcarng at the trap-door which "Black
Donald had just fell through, is little
new to the original play and hardly an i'm
provcment.
In the farce which preceded the drama
Miss Eliza Glassford made handsome ap
pearance, and was voted charming SOFT
brette by all present quite refreshing tc
any audience
The orchestra improved wonderfully last
evening, and gave us some good music.
Tonight is the last appearance of this
company in Rutland They have improved
in public favor upon every appearance, ant
should be greeted by good house thii
evening, when they appear in the well
known drama Of " Lucretia Borgia,' Miss
Kate assuming the title role and Miss Eliz,
as 9 Genaro."

The Spanish Affair.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.
Our government is now waiting to hear
what the Spanish government will do in re-
spouse to our earnest protest against the
outrage perpetrated against the victims of
the Nirginius. Here the matter rests for
the present. 1t can be stated on the au-
th0rty of the President himself that he
did not, rs reported, personally write a
despatch to Gen. Sickes directing that Off
Ger of our cooperation to be made to the
President of Spain in his movements to
control the Cubans.
Nothing of the kind has ever been sug-
gested. The United States relying on their
own power to protect their interests with
out the alliance with Spain who has shown
herself TO be almost if not entirely power
less to enforce compliance even with rea-
s0nablc demands in the island of Cuba, the
authorities of which are in most cases act
ing independently of all control of the
home government

The Question in the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA.
The session of the Cabinet to-day con-
tinued over two hours, and was the most
important which Las taken place under
President Grants administration. The cap
ture Of the Nirginius and the shocking bar
barlies perpctrated by the Spanish authori-
ties at Santiago de Cuba, formed the sub
ject of serious consideration, and definite
action towards maintaining the dignity Of
the United States in the existing complica-
tons was taken, while all the members of
the Cabinet are extremely reticent rs to the
nature of the conclusion reached to-day
1t may be said that the administration is
thoroughly in accord with the sentiments of
the people of the country, and the course
Of the authorities will be heartily APP
proved.
One member of the cabinet when APP
preached on the subject replied: As to the
nature of the action agreed upon to-day, |
can say nothing, hut you may rest assured
the people of this country will be satisfied
Immediately after adjournment of the
cabinet Secretary Robson referred to the
navy department, and first had n long con
ference with the chief of the burea, as to
the constructions and repair as to fitting out
vessels now laying up, and then with the
chief OF the burea of equippag and recruit
ing relative to furnishing such vessels with
complement of men, stores, &c.
The affairs about the department were
conducted with secresy. Various rumors
are circulated tonight as to the deter
mination of the cabinet, one of which is
that the government will demand of Spain
the immediate arrest and punishment Of
the parties mainly instrumental in conduct
ing the outrages of which the government
so seriously complains, and if the CASTELAR,
government shall be unable to give the re-
quired satisfaction, this government will
proceed to the extreme measures necessary
to obtain it, Though no cabinet officer adj
mits directly that this is one of the con
illusions arrived at during to-day's deliber-
atoms, still upon its being presented there
is no positive denial.
There is reason to believe that one of the

Railroad Trains.

The early express train on the Harlem

addition to these, six other trains have
been withdrawn. The reason assigned for
this change is that they are not self-sup-
porting.

opinion seems to be that the funds were
lost in stock speculation, and that they are
not now recoverable. In some quarters It
is asserted that there was no defalcation
whatever but that errors in the banks led
to charges being preferred against Craw-
ford of embezzlement, which are not war

railroad. Per contra, the Sun saws the
corporation Of the construction company
were chiefly stockholders of the railway
way company, and the same treasurer act

facts are that a large amount of county and
town bonds given as a subsidy by the coun-
try through which the railroad passes, and
accepted BY the construction company in
payment, were converted by the treasurer
into other securities, which the company
rcpudiated and held the treasurer RESPONSE

Both runners appeared in fine condition,
having received excellent training. The
stort was made at 4 o'clock. Allison gel
ting a good long lead. He kept his decided
advantage until the last quarter was enter
ed upon, when Crandall made magAii-
cent burst of speed and drew up To him like
flash. Crandall had no sooner reached
the front than Allison put forth his utmost
effort and the two men crossed the line al
most together. Many proclaimed ii a dead
hest and not few were of the opinion that
it was great victory for Crandall. who
made splendid effort The umpire, VIM.
Tilley of Providence, decided, however,
that Allison had won by six inches, and
the pools were paid on that decision, al
though many were savage on account of it.
