LONGyIEW ASYLUM DIRECTORS.

MIR. II. Roth Appointed by the Conn
msssiOners and Rev. j. 4. CAa2-
FAINT by the Court OF Conn En0n
Pleas.
The Board of County Commissioners held
a meeting this morning for the purpose Of
appointing Director of Longview Asylum
Mr.. Reardon made motion to this effect.
and introduced resolution that Mr.. Is.
Roth, of the st. Nicholas Hotel and III
rector of the Catholic Institute, be nolni-
mated.
The crowd of outsiders were of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Springmeyer or Sheriff Wallace
were to be the most favorable candidates
The result was big surprise to them.
No other candidate was put in nomination,
and Mr.. Roth was appointed by the votes OF
Commissioners Hopper and Reardon:
Rev. ]. T. Chalfnnt, of Springdale, was
appointed Director of the Asylum by the
Court of Common Pleas.
1t is now pretty well understood that Dr.
Maley has no chance for the Superinten-
dency OF the Asylum. The choice now lies
between Drs. Miller and Quinn.

RUSSIAS LAST CIRCULAR.
LONDON, April 15-At st. Petersburg the
opinion regarding Prince Gortschakoff7s cir
cular is much divided. Some consider it a
complete political programme full of sound
common sense and worthy of a great power.
Others regard it as empty and colorless and
nothing but formal rcfutation of Lord
Salisbury's accusations. Some think it is
Russia's last word and others believe it is
an introduction to negotiations OH new
ground. 1t has greatly dspleased those who
wish the Government to nail her colors
to the mast and risk all rather than make
the slightest concession.
WHAT IS THOUGHT IN GERMANY.
The opinion at Berlin continues skeptical
about the success of the negotiations The
Nord Deutsche Zeitung, referring to Ger
many's mediation, says: "The joint appeal
of England and Russia for the good offices
of Germany could have meaning only if
parties were willing to make such conccs-

other" This seems to indicate that no
agreement has yet been reached, and that

HOW MUCH FOR FIRST CHOICE
Sale of Seats This Morning for the
May Festival.

College Hall was crowded this morning at
1870 by the wealthy citizens of the city and
business men generally, to witness and to
participate in the auction of seats for the
May Festival. The auction was conducted
by Mr.. Ezekiel under the following rules:
Bids will be at so much premium per seat
over theiprice Of the season ticket, which
will be $40.
Choice is limited to ten seats, but any less
number may be selected
In case of dispute between bidders as to
who has secured the choice, the auctioneer
shall at once put the choice up again at
public competition.
A person buying choice is not prohib-
tied from competition again.
After one choice is sold the next choice
shall be competed for.
Each buyer, as his name is announced,
shall declare the number of seats he takes
at the premium, and shall Immediately go
to the platform pay to the Treasurer the
price and premium on such number of seats,
and receive from him corresponding order,
and shall at once present such order to the
ticket seller, select, and receive his tickets.
Bidders are requested to be as prompt as
possible, especially in selecting seats.
The Treasurer may require, where parties
unknown to him present checks that the
delivery of tickets shall await the cashing
of the check.
The Treasurer's order on the ticket seller
shall be delivered to him when the tickets
are handed over to the purchaser.
Bidders not known to the auctioneer
shall upon his request, announce their

After the reading of the above rules of
the sale, Mr. Ezekiel took the stand and an
nounced that the sale would now begin:
"Can get $4,000 for the first choice?
who will give Sl0,0O0?' sang out the auc-
tioneer.
An almost audible smile passed over the
countenances of those present, but no voice
answered ~
Gentlemen, how much will you give?'
A moment Of silence was broken by the
voice of Mr. L. c. Hopkins, who bid 800.
Mr. Hopkins was escorted to the front, and
stated that the bid was for Mr.. John E.
Cough, who took one seat The seat select
ed by Mr.. Hopkins for Mr.. Cough was No. l,
of Section |, in the dress circle.
The bidding was fairly started now, but
there seemed none to take choice No. 2 at
that figure and the auctioneer was com,
pclled to fall through $75, $50, ss35 and s25
to 500, at which price Jas. Griffith u Sons
