Miss Emma Schultz, was warmly ap-
plauded. She possesses very sweet
voice which shows some culture. The
Duet, !.'The Shepherds Song" was rem
dered in very pleasing manner by the
same young Miss, assisted by Miss Maggie
Mills. The choruses were well sung by
the school; altogether the music added
very much to the entertainment. The
speeches and recitations were excellent.
"Difidence," by Master Henry Emsheimer

talent. The recitations, by the Misses

LONDON, March 2G.-Lord Harrington
speaking last night pointed out in what
respects the policy OF the opposition, II re-
turned to power, would differ from the
policy of the present government. He
said they would not stake interests on the
honor Of England on the maintenance of
the independence and itegrity of the un-
reformed Turkish government; they would
not disturb the treaty relations OF the
Turkish government with its christian
subjects, as matter Of interest only to
Russia; they would not try to disturb the
concert OF Europe. II 1t was united to
what should be done they would do all
in their power to promote that concert.
The TiHes commenting says: Criticisms
are designed not merely to discredit the
ministry, but to indicate what would be
Hartington's policy in the past and ten.
dency In the future. It would be policy
OF coercing Turkey at cost II necessary Of
war. The announcement Of such policy
seems to deprive opposition speakers OF all
the right TO denounce the government for
undertaking distant and arduous enter
prises.

The House refused, yeas l2l, nays 81

alive, 10 dispense with the morning hour
Mr.. Robertson said yesterday that he
voted for Mr.. McLane'sproposition for the
purpose OF bringing Mr.. Townshsnd's bill
before. the House. Had he understood for
certain the decision OF the Speaker he
would have voted against the proposition,
because he was not protectionist.
Mr.. McLane-By what right does the
gentleman give any such significance to
that vote? /, for one, utterly repel and re-
pudiate any such Significance. There was
no such significance in that vote.
The Speaker then called the committees
for reports OF private nature.
The morning hour was consumed in
consideration OF private bills, and the
House then entered upon a long and un-
interesting discussion as to whether a
two-thirds vote was requisite under the
rules to lay aside private business and
proceed TO the consideration Of public
bills. Without determining the point the
House went into Committee Of the Whole
{ Mr.. McLane in the chair on the private
calendar, and without disposing Of any
bill the committee rose and the House
adjourned till tomorrow.

WHEELING, March 90.


Editors IntsllIscneer:

Friday morning at their examination Of
classes, and in the afternoon at the litera.
ry performance OF rooms taught by Prof.
Anderson, Miss Jane Anderson. Annie
Ewing and Lizzie Downs. Desiring to
please the young folks, we accordingly
wended our way up three tiresome flights
OF stairs, and rather to our surprise found
large audience, composed argely OF the
parents and friends OF the children, all ap-
pearing deeply interested in the perform.
ances that had already commenced. When
everything in a programme is we'll select.
ed and well carried out, to speak OF some
performances and not of. Others, seems un-
fair. Let 1t be sufficient to say that the
pupils did credit to themselves and their
friends by the excellence and good taste OF
their performances, fine appearance and
courteous manners. We were especially
attracted by the correctness OF the playing
and the sweetness OF the singing The Sc
lections were OF rather difficult execution,
and much credit is due to TO those who
gave the training. We will visit that
school again. CITIZEN.

SAN PRAXCIsCO.



SAN FRAScIsco, March 26.-The thirty
days notice OF the condemnation Of China,
town was expected to-day, but the Board
OF Health has as yet taken no action with
regard toit. As far as can be learned the
Board has no other power than to cause
the enforcement OF existing laws regard.
ing nuisances and oyercrowding. The
laws and ordinances relating to the form
er bear more heavily upon property own
ers than upon occupants Of the buildings,
and were they enforced strictly the Cauca-
sian property owners OF Chinatown would
suffer more than the Mopgolian tenants
Of the condemned buildings. 1t is hardly
possible, it is stated, TO make many arrests
on account OF violations OF the law, as
there is no placein which prisoners can be
kept. The iails are filed te overlooking
already. This fact has been brought to the
notice OF the Board Of Supervisors and'the
Board OF Police Commissioners, but as yet
no action has been taken towards pro-
viding quarters for the detention OF priso-
ners who would be arrested in scores
should the cubic acre ordinance and other
laws be enforced.
The evening papers publish the follow
ing card:
To he Public:
We desire to state that no negotiations
are going on and no communication what
ever is being had between this committee
and the representatives OF the Sand Lots,
all rumors and statements to the contrary
notwithstanding.
BY order Of the Executive Committee
Of the Citizens Protective Union.
JRSNlsoN S. Cox, Secretary.
1t will be noted that the card is couched
in the present tense, and is unquestion-
ably strictly correct.
