ENGLAND AND GREECE.
Salisbury's Note hue To a RumOr that
Greece Would EQuiD PriVateers.

LONDON, Jan. GA dispatch from Vienna
to the Times says that Lord Salisbury's note to
Greece was due to the fact that he had heard
to privateerS.
1t is reported that the finances OF Greece are
not in a fiOuriShing condition. The public is
chary to subscribe to a patriotic loan.
dispatch from Varna TO the Cologne Gazette
says that the sultan and Prince Alexander have
the powers having aSsented to this settlement.
ATHENS, Jan. 26.-The government organ as
sertS that Sir Horace RumbOld, the British min
lister, in imparting to the Greek government
Premier SalisburyS note informing Greece o!
England's attitude used language tending TO
break the relations existing between England
and Greece.
The Greek Minister has been interviewed in
reference to the possibility OF war between
Greece and Turkey. He denied that the gov
eminent of Greece had any intention of issuing
letters of marque in the event OF hostilities
breaking out. His government, he said, had a
sufficient number OF vessels to cope with Tur-
key without resorting to such an extreme mea-
sure. Greece has no desire to follow the Ala
bama experiences in England.
The stock market is frmer, owing to the de-
termined attitude Lord Salisbury has taken to-
wards Greece in his efforts TO compel that coun-
try to disarm.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. 26-It is reported
that the Greek fleet is going to Crete.
The porte has dispatched a circular note to
the powers asking them to assist i'm a prompt
settlement of the Grecian difficulty.
ST. PETERSBURG, JAM 26.-The journal de 81.
Petersburg says it believes that Greece will
find that a course in opposition to the will of
Europe is useless in view of EurOpe's detcrmn-
alton TO admit of no change in territory which
would infringe on the treaty OF Berlin.

THE SAMOAN DIFFICULTY.
How the Report Of German Annexs
tiOn Probably Originated.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-Capt. ". b. Church
ward, late British consul at Samoa, who left
here yesterday on his way to London, said in
explanation OF the recent Samoan-Cierman diff
fculty that Mullin Point, in the city of Apa.
the seat of the Samoan government, many
years ago came into the hands of Mr.. Weber, a
former German consul and the head of lead
ing firm at Samoa. Notice was given the gov
eminent to move, and although Mr.. Weber was
offered previously agreed price foK the land,
he refused to accept Ii, and the Samoan king
was compelled to remove his residence to an
other part of Apia. Mr.. Weber's action was
king hoisted the Samoan flag over the part of
the city to which he had removed, but subse-
quently, owing to an alleged insult to the Ger
man government by Samoans Consul Steubel
forbade the king to display his flag anywhere
within the municipality of Apia. The consul
went personally to the king and commanded
him to pull his flag down. This the king re-
fused to do. Consul Steubel then went on
board the German gunboat Albatross, which
party of armed sailors ashore and forcibly and
against the protest of the United States and
British consuls, pulled the flag down. Capt.
Churchward concluded by stating that two
Samoan high chiefs went to New Zealand to
claim sympathy in their troubles, and from
their story the reports OF Germanys anneXa-
ton of Samoa probably arose. Capt Church
wards mission to London is to lay his dis
patches, relative to the recent disturbances
fore the British foreign office. The vessel bear
ing the German dispatches regarding the affair
failed to connect at Honolulu with the steamer
which brought Capt. Churchward here, and
these dispatches will consequently be some
time later in reaching Berlin.

The President In Baltimore.
THE CHARITY BALL AND THE DISTINGUISHED
GUESTS FROM WASHINGTON.
The great charity ball for which Baltimore
society has been preparing for weeks, took
place at the Academy of Music in that city last
night. The magnitude and brilliancy of the
affair was fully in keeping with the extensive
preparations made for it. The chief event of
the evening was the visit to the hall of the
PRESIDENT and bis party from Washington.
The President had stipulated that the time of
his reaching the academy should not be known
beforehand, as he wished to avoid unnecessary
publicity. The presidential party arrived at
the Camden station ut q quarter past ten
o'clock.
The party with the President comprised Col.
and Mrs. Lamont, Marshal, Mrs. and Miss Will
daughter of the Postmaster General; Miss Endi-
cott, daughter OF the Secretary of War; Col.
cassidy, OF Albany, n. 7. The party was
Mr.. James Swami Frick and MIR. Oh aries
Ridgely Goodwin, representing the managers OF
the ball. The crowd assembled at the depot in
Baltimore gave three cheers for the President
| as he alighted, and afterwards tor Senator Cor
man. The party was met by eight handsome
specially prepared for them at the academy,
the party were ushered into the south cafe,

When the President made his appearance
upon the waxed floor he was at once surrounded
by ladies and had to hold q reception. After q
long siege of handwriting he was escorted to
the prOscenium box, from which he viewed the
brilliant scene: Two detectives guarded the box
during the Presidents stay there. Shortly
before midnight the presidential party, as pre-
arranged, quietly slipped out of the box and
took carriages for Camden station, where their
special train was in readiness. An hour later
the President was home again at the White
House.

The Hebrew Fair.

THE BRILLIANT SCENE ATTENDING THE OPEN
ING AT THE NATIONAL RIFLES ARMoRY.
The Hebrew fair and bazaar was opened last
evening at the Rifles armory, under the most
favorable circumstances. There was large
attendance. The hall looked bright and gay.
The fair was formally opened by Speaker
Carlisle, who made very effective speech,
commencing the objects of the fair and praising
the charity and heipfulness which has ever
characterized he Hebrew people.
Commissioners Webb also made a few remarks,
during which he took occasion to refer to the
high character which the Hebrews bear as use
fui, law-abiding citizens and their increase in
numbers and in prosperity In this city. He
wished that the present enterprise would meet
with the greatest success, and that the efforts
put forth to erect u suitable synagogue would
be crowned with the realization of their hopes
and plans. He alluded to the changes which
he had observed in this District during his life
long residence, when he had seen the Hebrews
increase from a handful of people to a numer-
GUS and influential class. Their high character
as a people, he said, had always been MAIN
tanned.
Mr.. simon Wolf in expressing the thanks of
the committee, who occupied seats on the plat
form with the speakers, said that people who
had made laws were not law-breakers, and in
this way he explained what Commissioner
Webb had alluded to in cOmmendatOry terms.
After the speeches the business Of the evening
began. Commissioner Edmonds came in and
colleague and Speaker Carlisle, he held quite a
reception. The pretty girls, with their little
books, then began to circle about the room, and
the flower booth, which formed a very attrac-
tive feature of the room, was largely drawn
upon to furnish button-hole bouquets. The
booths arranged along the side of the hall were
very tastefuily decorated, and the ladies in
charge gave smiling attention to their Wis
itors.
The President was not able to attend. He
sent, however, generous contribution, enclosed
in an autograph letter, in which he said: 81
regret that I shall not be able to attend the
grand fair and bazaar to be held under the aus
pieces of the Israelites Of Washington during the
next week. The objects OF the fair have, how
ever, my warm approval and my earnest desire
that they may be as fully accomplished as the
promoters of this benevolent scheme can hope.
Please accept the inctosed as q contribution in
aid of the purposes OF the fair"
A daily paper of handsome typographical ap-
pearance, entitled the Hebreso far journal, Is
Issued daily at the fair. It is edited by Messrs.
Lewis Abraham, Lewis Meyerhardt, Morris
Clark and Max Goldsmith, and published by
Gray T. Garrison.
The music is furnished by f. Krause's orches-
ira.

THE DEADLOCK AT COLUMBUS.
Neither Side willing 10 Make Public
Overtures for Compromise.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 26.-The situation Of
affairs in the senate is quiet this morning. Sug-
gestions looking to a compromise have come
from both sides, but nothing definite has been
done, nor has any mode Of procedure been
agreed upon. Neither party is willing to be
known as proposing a compromise, and for this
reason the reports of n settlement may not be
of any consequence. The republicans claim to
be firm in their position, and will agree TO
nothing except IL includes an immediate pro-
ceeding under the rules adopted last evening
for the disposition of the Hamilton county con-
test cases in the open senate. The democratic
senate is credited with the proposition that a
special committee be appointed, equal in men,
bership politically, for the hearing OF the con-
test cases The republicans say they will not
entertain the proposition even though ii comes
in regular form.
The democratic senators met I'm caucus at 10
O'Clock this morning, and will probably be in
session for several hours.
The republican members met at 10 o'clock
with the lieutenant governor in the chair. All
the republican senators, but no democrats, Were
present.
The journal of yesterday was read and ap.
proved. The republicans will remain i'm session
about an hour and then adjourn until to-mor-
row morning. There is no excitement and few
spectators are present

The Treasurer's Office Criupled.


THE TREASURER IN NEW YORK, AND THE
ASSISTANT TREASURER ILL.
Assistant Treasurer ]. w. Whelpley, who is
acting U. S. treasurer, is confined to his bed,
but was able to-day to af1ix his signature to q
few checks for large amounts which it was
desirable to make available Immediately. The
treasurer's office is somewhat crippled by Mr.
Whelpley's illness and the absence of Treasurer
Jordan, Cashier Whitney, Chief Clerk Meline
and force of clerks in New York. Should Mr.
Whelpley become incapacitated for business it
will be necessary tor Mr.. Jordan to return to
Washington or TO have sent to him in New
York all checks and papers requiring the sigma
ture OF the treasurer or his assistant. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Canda, the newly appointed
assistant treasurer at New YORK, can file his
bond and qualify before Monday. Mr.. Jordan
will, therefore, be detained in New York for the
remainder of the week. He might, however,
divide his time between New York and Wash
ingtOn, and attend to all important business in
person, in the event Of the continued illness of
Mr.. Whelpley. very unusual condition OF
affairs exists now, and it is said at the Treasury
department that there Is no provision of law by
which any other officials can be designated to
sign for the treasurer or his assistant.

Nebrask0's High License Law.
IT'S CONSTITUTIoNALIrY TO BE TESTED In THE
U. 8. SUPREME COURT.

OMAHA, NEB., Jan. 26-The high-license
clared constitutional in the state supreme
court, is to be tested further as TO its consti-
nationality in the U. s. Supreme Court by ST.
Louis LIQUOR firm, who, two years ago, sold a
large bill of goods to d. L. McGueken, Of this
city, McGueken refusing to pay the bill, and
fnterposed in defense a plea that the St. Louis
firm had no license to sell goods In Nebraska,
and hence could not legally do business in Ne
braska. The high-license law provides that an
applicant for a license must swear that he is
OF good moral character and a resident OF the
state. The st. Louis firm could not comply
with the requirements and their attorney
as il disregarded the clause regarding inter-
state commerce. The case was decided In the
district court In favor of the defendant, Nc
Quicken, and the supreme court affirmed the
decision last summer.
