RUTGERS FEMALE COLLEGE,

very scanty audience assembled last evening
at Robinson Hall to listen to considerable display
OF talent, vocal and instrumental. The concert
was given for the benefit OF the "Aumng Associ-
ton of Rutgers Female College," and the audience
was as enthusiastic and appreciative as 1t was
diminutive. Mr.. j. X. Thomas sung zine Hand
that Rocks the World" and "A Jolly Good Laugh"
In hts very best style. Mrs. Evans, OF
DIR. Chapns choir, rendered 20 MIC Fer
nando" from Donizetti exquisitely, and she was
equally happy IN Gambassi's duet III PescatOrc,.
conjontly with Mr.. Thomas. One OF the pest
features OF the entertainment was the instruncn,
tation OF Mile. Brousil, who Is an accompisnSs.s
violin payer. Her violin solo, BIRD on .Mc

Tho Geneva Award.

The United States Senate yesterday passed
award against the better Judgment Of an in
telligent and capable minority. Objection
was made to the bill on . very grave point of
principle, but the application Of the princi-
pie turned on the treatment of insurance
companies in the bill There is very little
popular sympathy with insurance companies,
and that is natural enough; for they are
managed upon grasping principles. They
accept the money Of the insurer and they
escape payment for losses whenever legal
technicality leaves them loophole. But the
public prejudice should not affect grave legis-
and it seems clear that the act passed violates,
under cover of this prejudice, the principle
upon which we received the money awarded
The bill assumes the right of Congress to rule
out large class of the Alabama claims, upon
the theory that the money was paid by Eng
land, not in satisfaction Of private claims, but
as a national indemnity. In that assumption
Congress is in conflict with the facts of the
whole negotiation and with the views Of
the tribunal which gave the award
Every endeavor to have the claim re-
cognized as national failed. Our right
to present the claims Of citizens and
demand indemnify in their behalf was always
conceded and this view held against us
always prevailed in the negotiation, and when
treaty was finally made that was ambiguous
on this point and therefore met the views of
both parties, the tribunal before which the
case came decided that ambiguous point
against us and ruled out all claims made as
national, accepting only those for private
losses. In the number Of the claims that we
then presented were the claims Of the insur-
ance companies that Congress now rules out
In this the United States must appear as a
dishonest trustee. 1t refuses to pay the
money it has collected on claims that it
deemed good enough to present to the English
government. 1t deliberately votes that certain
of the claims which this government urged at
Geneva were unjust and invalid, and, there
fore, that the government was party to
fraud

The Cuban Insurrection,

1t will be seen by communication which
we publish in another column that the in
surgents are steady pursuing their purpose of
carrying the war into the Cinco Villas. The
much boosted trocha has been successfully
crossed by considerable bands from the
Central Department, and the result will no
doubt be seen in the rapid increase of the in
surrec.ionary movement in the Cinco Villas
In no part of the island is detestation of
Spanish rule stronger, but the conditions
are not 80 favorable to resistance as
in the Central and Eastern departments.
However, the spread of the instruction in O
westerly direction is most significant and
shows that the instruction is gradually re-
gaining the ground lost in the first reverses
of the war. The unhealthy season is now
beginning and the chance Of successful
operations against the insurgents this year is
at an end. Could the Cubans obtain arms
and munitions freely the struggle would soon
be decided. For well nigh six years the war
has been waged, under every disadvantage by
the patriots, and the time has come when this
country ought to recognize the belligerency of
the Cuban Republic

TROUBLE IN ST. PETERSBURG special
despatch from st. Petersburg to the Pail Mall
Gazette, printed. in these columns this morn
ing, says that the Grand Duke Nicholas,
brother of the Gar, has been arrested, but on
what charge is not known. His house, it is
added, was searched by the police, and great
excitement prevails in st. Petersburg. It may
be that this is only an idle rumor. Sensations
of this kind, however, in times not far removed
from MS were not uncommon in st. Petersburg.
1t is noteworthy that the Emperor Alexander
is absent from his capital and that he is on his
way to the Court of Queen Victoria. 1t is not
at all impossible that suspicion of conspiracy
has attached itself in some way to the Grand
Duke and that the officials Of the Empire have
been q little over-zeaous in the matter. When
we remember, however, that one Russian EN-
peror has been murdered and that another is
supposed to have been murdered since the COM
mencement of the present century, we cannot
wonder that the police OF st. Petersburg are
somewhat watchful of political offenders

The UNIVERSAL PEACE UsIoN.-Such a So
ciety, it seems, has an existence and of this
society there is an American branch. At
place called Plimpton Hall yesterday morning
this American branch held the first session of
its eighth anniversary. When we say that Mr.
Alfred Lowe presided, and that the audience
consisted chiefly of ladies, among whom
were Susan B. Anthony, Lille Devereux
Blake and others, and that conspicuous among
them sat Elder Evans, the public will not feel
disposed to believe that the time has yet come
when that pious practice is to begin of beat
ing the swords into ploughshares and the
spears into pruning hooks.

Tho Manhattan Gathering and Its
Eject ON the City Politicians.

The MANHATTAN Gathering and Ita
Eject ON the City Politicians.
The late democratic jubilee at the Man.
haitian Club has left behind it some heart
burnings among the party leaders, There
has long been subdued feud between Tam
many Hall and the Manhattan. The thick
cowhide boots of the one have not harmonfxed
well with the polished feathers Of the other
the ungloved and not over-clean hand of tho
Wigwam has not been disposed to close in O
very friendly grasp over the kid-clad fingers
of the club room. The cause of the estrange-
ment is no secret. When misfortune and
exposure overlook the old Sachems of the
hall the ambitious exquisites Of Manhattan
fourished their cambria pocket handkerchiefs
and avowed their intention to make the club
the future rallying point of the democracy and
TO supplant Tammany altogether. The repu-
tation OF the old Wigwam was tainted. It
would be impossible again to rally under
q name which had been rendered
infamous by Tweed and his associates. The
"Tammany democracy" was doomed, but the
Manhattan democracy" might spring into
existence and take an honorable position So
some venerable and highly respectable club
bites entered actively into the campaign
against the Tammany plunderers and were
prominent among those who succeeded in
overthrowing the old "ring."
Recently Tammany has undergone re-
vival, but it has been under leaders of
different stamp to the Manhattanltes. and
who have failed to appreciate the importance
of the club and its members. When the idea
OF a democratic reunion to celebrate recent
victories of the party was first suggested
in the club parlors it was agreed to
keep the affair as distinct from Tam
many as possible. The Grand Sachem
was rendered an invitation, at the earnest
solicitation of an anxious candidate for the
Mayoralty nomination, but he declined it, and,
with the evident object of ignoring the BAN
Duet altogether as q democratic gathering,
called meeting of the Tammany General
Committee on the same evening it was held.
Since the Manhattan jubilee it has become evil
dent one of its main objects was to hold rod
over Tammany in connection with ncxt falls
State nominations, and to show the unwashed
politicians of the corner groceries that the re-
spectacle element Of the party must be studied
in the arrangement of the programme if sue
cess is desired or expected. OF course the
broadcloth politicians and ofice-seekers place
great stress on the Manhattan gathering, and
look upon it as the opening chorus Of grand
revival, but among the work-jackets the CROP
ped heads and the broken noses Of the wards,
it excites no reverential comments, and the
affair is sneered at as sort Of kid-gloved at
tempt to build up political organization in
opposition to the Wigwam SO famous in tho
annals of the New York democracy.
