A MIsAPPREHENsIoN CORRECTED
The public has always been of the
opinion that the so-called Hotel for
Workingwomen," founded in the city
of New York, by the late A. I. Stewart,
was designed as a charitable institution
When Mr.. Stewart died and there was
some criticism as to the m~eagreness OF
his eleemosynary requests, the press
Of New York called attention to this
hotel as one of the legacies of Mr..
Stewart to the city. Now, the World
claims that the hotel is nOt a charity,
but was erected with the intention OF
being conducted as a business specula-
ton, and that therefore its managers
have the right to prescribe whatever
rules they please for its government.
II this be so, the people have been most
eeregiously deceived, but it is we'll
enough to have the fact known, so
that the poor workingwomen may
cease to indulge in hopes that are never
to be realized. 1t is said that when the
doors of the hotel were thrown open
for the first time. OIL the evening of the
I'd inst, over 20, 0 persons visited 1t on
tickets of invitation.

Opinions OF influential Persons.

LONDON, April. Is.
A Times st. Petersburg correspond
ent, telegraphing on Sunday, does not
give such a hopeful report of the state
of feeling in Russia. He says the eff
forts of Germany may, perhaps, lead
to a parliamentary conference, as the
British Government is now believed 10
be more favorable to such a proposal.
The warlike excitement is especially
intense in Moscow.
A Vienna correspondent saws that
according 10 trustworthy private in
formation, the German Government
fully understands the difficulty of its
mediatory task. 1t thinks the chances
of success pretty evenly balanced. but
having once undertaken the task, it
seems to embrace it TO the full extent.
The principle difficulty is to make
some arrangement to Obviate the dan
ger of a collision at Constantinople and
Berlin. and the correspondent says
thai Prince Bismarck. as a mediator,
will be unsuccessful if'England per
sists in her present attitude.
1t is said that Russia is looking for a
loan in America. 1t is understood that
negotiations are also opened in Ger
many and Holland. and that the new
loan will amount to 0 1000 900 roubles,
independent of 80, 900, 900 in treasury
bonds, to be issued immediately.
State affairs. with reference to the
Eastern question, remain substantially
the same. The mooted point between
England and Russia is still unsettled;
while this is the case, the prospect of
the congress, and a peaceful arrange
ment of the whole difficulty, is as far
off as ever. There is a strong feeling
in both countries that war is inevitable.
At st. Petersburg the belief is stated to
prevail that England's willingness to
continue negotiations is rather for the
purpose of isolatinR Russia than arriv-
ing at an understanding. Some int1u-
entail persons believe that England
will go to war alone, hence the earnest
efforts to continue to satisfy Austria.
Some moderate men in official circles
have begun censuring the Russian
generals, diplomats and newspapers.

The property comprises the building
on California street, formerly occupied

pieces of vacant ground in the rear OF

and the building at the southwest cor
ner of Montgomery and Clay streets,
all desirable pieces of property. Mr..

that no further attempt will be made

New dies for liver has arrived. The

ders from Washington to discontinue
that coinage until further orders. Large
quantities of trade dollars are now in

There is silver enough on hand to run
the coinage about three weeks, or
enough to produce $4,000, 900, at the
rate of 500, 900 per diem, which will
be the approximate rate OF coinage.
Those wishing new dollars must de-

of England, Germany, Russia, Dem
