the denial OF the truth OF my dispatch t.
the ISTELLIaENcRR regarding Mr., Kennl
and the Craftsmanship Of the National
Democratic Congressional Committee,
am permitted to give my authority, OF
which the same was based. The Pitts
burgh Post, Wheeling RsgiSter and Other
Democratic papers have denied the story
printed in the INTELLIaENcER by publish
ing alleged interviews with Senator Kenns,
The fact is that Mr., Henry Watterson,
who is the authority referred to, had an
interview one day last week with Presi'
dent Cleveland, in which the latter told
him substantially what appeared in the
INTRLLIGENcRR. Mr.. Watterson called on
the President to urge upon him the neces-
sity OF doing just what Mr., Kenna asked
should be done. On learning that the
Administration had refused to pledge
itself to assist the campaign, he gave Mr.,
Cleveland large.siZed piece OF his mind,
COuCueu III buGu Ltukuhke NJ ouly MI Nht-
teEs0n can command. He had q two hours
conference with the President, during
which he attempted Convice the Buffalo
statesman thstthe West Virginia Senator's
position was the correct one.
1t Ia said he told the President that II
was time for him 10 de1cend from his high
horse and accept the suggestions OF Mr..
Kenna, who had more political sagacity
than all the MugWumps put together.
Watterson failed to move the President
and came away from the White House
cursing the Administration aud advised
Kenna's friends to stand on the ground
they had taken. So far as can learn Mr..
Henna's position Is endorsed by every
Democratic leader in Congress, and hopes
are entertained by them that President
Cleveland will "Cave" shortly and the
Senator will be able to accept the chair
manship with the full understanding that
the Administration will give him such
help as is necessary to the success Of the
party OF Civil Service reform. It is
thought Mr.. Cleveland will see things diff.
ferently before the honeymoon is over.
The spoilsmen attach great significance to
the fact that the future mistress OF the
White House Ia o stalwart Democrat with
q mind Of her own, and holy contempt
for MugWumps.

became an uproar, which lasted several
minutes,
Chamberlain calmly folding his arms
and smiling, waited for the tumult to sub.
side, but refused to mention the names
called for,
Resuming, Chamberlain at great length
explained why he deemed Gladstons's
concessions inadequate. He did not, he
continued, propose TO reply to any per.
sonAl references made towards himself dur.
ing the course Of the debate. They were
perhaps amusing, but they were below
the level OF the great constitutional dis
cussion OF questions traught with mCst

would prove most mischievious in Ireland,

paper declaring that he had betrayed the
interests OF his constituents by opposing
the 0leomargarine bill, inttmating that
the millions Of Armour had had their In
auence In securing this opposition and de-
Claring that he had obtained his seat In
Congress through fraud. All these charges
he denounced as untrue. He had been
and still was In favor Of the 0leomarglne
bill and II was false that he had been in
huencsd improperly in his course in re.
gard to that measure. No charge Of
fraud had been made against him In the
contest for his seat, which had been con.
Htmed to him by the House by an almost
unanimous vote. lie understood that
there were not more than six gentlemen on
the Republican side who had voted that
he was not entitled to his seat.

there were many Americans In the
audience. The artists were well received
In the first act, especially Mr.. Dlxey,
The ballet and chorus at the opening Of
the second act were over long, and there
was some hissing and hooting, with calls
for Dixey. The burlesQus Of Irving was
highly approved, as was also the song,
"Its English, you know" Afterwards
almost everything, except the efforts Of
Miss somerville and Miss Grubb, was
hooted. The oCcupsnts OF the pit and
gallery whistled airs from the "Mikado,"
and Otherwise misconduCted themselves.
The gallery gods complained vehemently
because Of the presence OF eight police.
men. The Americans In the audience
were indignant at the reception given to
the play. Among the English portion OF
the audience the better class sympathixsd
with Mr.. Dixey, but the general yer.
dict was that the piece was poor and
altogether disappointing.
