THEY SAW THE BALLET.
A Number of Chicago Ministers Wit
ness a Performance OF the National
Overa Company.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Long before the curtain
arose on the opera of "Galatea' and its after
piece, Rubenstein's "Bal Costume at the
Columbia theater tonight, coterie of news
paper men was in the foyer casting furtive
glances on every person who entered wearing
the slightest approach to ministerial clothes
or the regulation clerical cravat. Seventeen
of lions watchmen had previously sent in q
request for the seats offered them by the Ma
tional Opera company in order to obtain their
opiniop upon the propriety of the ballet.
Double seventeen seats had been assigned to
the ministers by the management, but, con-
trary to somewhat general expectation, they
were scattered throughout the house. The
theater men were in great glee. Man
ager Milward Adams was certain
the clerical brethren ..1vS would be- be there ere
..Prof. Swing is for US; DR.. Thomas has been
present two evenings, and many of the others
are favorably impressed" The first genuine
preacher among a crowd OF laitY, and some
who could not even claim that dignity, was
Rev. Charles H. Bixby, of Hyde Park. He
took three seats. Then Rev. j. Rushton,
looking much as he did as secretary of the
general convention, yet with kind of I-hope-
Bishop-M Nc Laren-wOnt-be-he look on his
face took a seat in the section occupied by
some jefferson park "sports." Rev. Henry
G. Perry dropped into seat as naturally as
if it were an 'amen corner. anu aICerWdruS
said he did not believe the bishop would care,
ANYWAY. Then there followed much in the
same style as school-boys standing up in
row waiting to interview the ferule, Revs.

came the bal Costume" the dance of the
Aimees, the Spanish dance, ETC., almost with
utlimit seemingly. Owing to the scattering
of the ministers seats it was difficult to keep
track of their occupants. 1t is known, how
ever, that some of them fled before the
brilliant ballet. Revs. Rushton and Bostwick
were among those VINO did not remain. Those
who did stay beheld as gorgeous vision as

were heard on any hand.

TREASURY OPINIONS
Regarding the wall Street Panic.-
Anticipat.n Interest on Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Trenholm,
comptroller of the currency, was asked by
a rep rter this afternoon what he thought
OF ,ne situation in Wall street to-day, so
far as the banks are concerned. He said in
substance:
l learned nothing to lead me to think that
the banks are at all involved in the panic.
have received kilograms from the presidents
of several banks and they all concur in
ascribing the present trouble to the collapse
of stock operations. The more experienced
banks had forseen this, and were prepared
for it. So far as my information goes, none
of the banks are implicated with any persons
reported as embarrassed by the panic. Here
is Il telegram 1 have just received from a
gentleman in New York, in whose judgment

market better. Money stringency con-
fined to Wall street. Many banks conserva-
tive course lately regarding fancy stocks
partly causes stringency. Unless failures
occur worst is over. No signs of weakness
among banks

tation of the coupon and interest checks at
the treasury, Washington, or at any of the
Sub-treasurieS. Checks for registered in

as prepared. Treasurer Jordan said this
afternoon. in speaking of the situation in
Wall street, that he had received infolma-

the demand for money is excessive at high
rates. The action of the department., how

TIE CAMPBELL SCANDAL.
Attorneys for the Various Parties
Involved Make Their Closing
Arguments.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-In the Campbell
divorce case to-day DR.. Bird testified that
he had had long acquaintance with Lady
Miles and the Blood family. He denied
that he ever had any other relations with
Lady Colin Campbell than those proper be-
tween physician and that of his patient.
He had searched his instrument case and
had found the letter from Lady Colin to
him which Lady Collins nurse. Annie
Duffy, had testified was there. The letter
was one which Lady Colin had written
when she was 10 years of age, and was a
childish affair. Witness produced the let
ter. Witness never was at the Bow concert
and never heard of

until the trial commenced. The witness
attended the concert at Newcross at which
Lady Colin sang. He went as one of the au-
dience and sat in the body of the hall. Lady
Colin broke down while singing. Witness
then took her to his house to procure some
medicine difficult to obtain elsewhere 1t
was not true that he caressed plaintiff in
the cab. When Lady Miles told witness
that Lord Colin and his nurse alleged that
Lady Colin had had a miscarriage, wit

Colin awoke him, but the suggestion that
there was any improperly in Witness con-
duct was grOundieSs. The counsel for Gen.
Butler, another of the correspondents, said
he would not call the general, because he
submitted that no testimony had been pro-
duced which incriminated him. The Judge
said there was evidence against him. He
would say nothing regarding its strength,
but if Gen. Butler was innocent he ought
to come to court and say so. The Duke of
MarlborOugh's counsel submitted that no
testimony had been produced establishing
the slightest improperly between the duke
and Lady Colin. Chief Shaw's counsel
appealed to the court to say whether his
client was not witness of truth and
honor. Gen. Buffers counsel denounced
the stories told by the servants regarding
his client as absurd. DR.. Birds counsel
contended that there was but one witness
to sustain the charge against his client, and
she was the

BosTON, Dec. 16.-The news is jus

his response. said the French Huguenots and

Conspiracy Charged.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The Evening Post
says:
A well-known broker said to-day that he
thought deliberate conspiracy to lock up
money had been engineered by leaders in the
bear movement. Up to yesterday they had
covered good many of their shorts, but not
all of them, and when they again made an eff
fort yesterday 10 depress the market on GER
tain lines, they accomplished more than they
expected. The market was then in such a
condition that only one additional push would
be needed to seLd it downward with lush.
He believed that the bears took advantage of
the situation to scoop" in a large amount of
various stocks, and that their next appear
ance for some time would be in the character
of bulls. Hence he expected sharp rally in
stocks very soon. No more failures occurred,
and there is an easier money market.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The president
has nominated Col. Orlando 3. Wilcox to
be brigadier general, and Lieut.. Col. John
Moore to be surgeon general, with the rank
of brigadier general. The house committee
on military affairs to-day completed the
army appropriation bill and the measure
will be reported to the house tomorrow.
1t makes total appropriation of S23, $751;
23S. The estimates for the service aggre-
gated S25, 52S, 5S7 and the appropriation for
the current year was S23. 794. .001. The new
legislation included in the bill is intended
to limit mileage to cents per mile, to keep
the number of horses for cavalry and artil
Iery use below the number of enlisted men
and scouts in the mounted service. to Sc
cure purchases only through competition
and advertisement, to the reduction to
5000 of the number of draught animals in

GEN. MILES INDORsED.
An order will shortly be issued by the
president adding Southern California to the
department of Arizona, under command of
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and removing his
headquarters from Prescott. Ariz.. to Los
Angeles. This will give Gen. Miles the
command of the whole Mexican frontier,
from Texas to the Pacific. The territorial
extension OF the limits of his command is
said by Gen. Miles friends to be sufficient
answer to the charges that he disobeyed Or
ders in the Apache campaign. On being
asked tonight whether the extension of the
limits of his command might not be re-
garded as equivalent to a promotion, Gen.
W;Ies said: THE fact speaks for itself. |

under the rule that single objection is
sufficient to have the bills set back. Among
the bills thus objected to and set aside were
the following: To prevent the obstruction
of navigable waters and to protect public
works against trespass or injury; granting
the right of way to the Cinnabar & Clark's
Forks Railroad company; for the control
of reservation at Hot Springs. Ark. The
bill to permit the owners of American

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The secretary
of the interior, in response to letter from
Senatot Edmunds, chairman of the senate
Judiciary committee, asking for informa-
ton as to a supposed difficulty or want of
harmony in Utah concerning an item in
the miscellaneous appropriation bill passed
at the last session of congress, appropriate
ing $40, 900 to aid in the establishment of
an industrial home for polygamous wives
and their children in Utah, has transmit
ted to the Judiciary committee the annual
report of Hon. Caleb w. West, governor
of Utah, which contains reference to the
industrial home and copy of letter
from Mrs. Angie f. Newman, of Lincoln,
Neb., in which she vigorously protests
against Gov. Vests Interpretation of that
portion of the act making the appropria-
ton. Mrs. Newman writes that the wishes
of the members of the Industrial Christian
Home ASSOCIATION of Utah. through whose
active instrumentality the appropriation
was secured, has been diSregarded by the
board of control, contrary to the spirit Of
the law. She also criticizes the methods
thus far pursued by the board, and init
mates that all the labor and money eX-
pended by the promoters of the enterprise
is in danger of being sacrificed to misjCdge-
ment and mismanagement. Mrs. Newman
asks for legal construction OF the text of
the act as to its intention to include in the
management of the home, the association
above referred to. The present board of
control consists of the governor, the JUS
tices of the supreme court and the district

The Victor Bicycle company, OF Boston,
telegraphed Albert Schock Saturday that they
had made and shipped him two elegant racing
cicycles for his night aud day race next week,
and that they would reach Minneapolis
to-day. The wheels are lighter than he for
