A Grand RDectacle.

Next Monday night the Kiralfy
Brothers will present their grand spec.
tacle entitled Excelsior" at the Wal.
nut street theatre, Philadelphia. Ex-
tensive arrangements are being made
for the event, and the scenery and cos.
tunes are said to even eclipse those
used in Jalma" a few weeks since q,
the Academy of Music.
The ballet Is said TO be the finest
ever produced in this country, and a
mum Der of the finest dancers Of the
European theatres have been brought
to this country especially to appear in
this spectacle. The stage at the Walnut
is eleven feet deeper than that of Niblos
Garden, New York, and the play will
be presented in Philadelphia in even a
better manner than in the metropolis.
The low fares between here and Philadel
phia renders it an easy matter for the
citizens of Wilmington to witness thi.
grand spectacle.

WAsHInGTOS, Jan. 30.-The Senate
Committee on Elections will probably be
called together about the last Of this
week TO take action for conducting the
investigation ordered by the Sherman
resolutions, but no call mas yet been is,
sued.
1t is understood that there is some
testimony about ready TO be submitted
and it is supposed that the Democrats
will be compelled to present some evil
dence as defense. The committee will
probably begin by hearing such testi
mony az can be submitted here, and il
that seems to justify further proceed
ings, subcommittee will be sent t
Danville and Mississippi.

Of the presidential electors, rs now

against the most powerful odds ever

numbers, in prestige, in money, in
official position and influence; more
powerful every way. When any

controlling infiuense in the senate,
then there are scattered over the
