Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 29.-London is likely to have
an international exhibition in 1891 at the
Crystal Palace, the very building originally
set up in Hyde park for the first exhibition in
1851. The proposal originates with Aird, the
railway contractor, a wealthy man. well known
also as a member of parliament and an art col
lector, who is prepared to subscribe q large
sum as guarantee.
Frederic Villiers. the war artist of the Lon

day. Although young. he has seen more bat
ties than any man in his profession. and is also

Irving's appearance tonight as Macbeth in
the Lyceum is heralded with the usual puffs
preliminary. Comyns Carr has written a long
pamphlet, after comforting with Irving and
Ellen Terry, endeavoring to show that Macbeth
was the real instigator Of the murder of Dun
can. and not Lady Macbeth, whom Terry cannot
bring herself to represent in repulsive guise
This is altogether different from Irvings for
mer treatment of the character when he played
it with Miss Bateman as Lady Macbeth. He
then represented Macbeth as a coward insti-
gated by his wife, and made the greatest fail
ure he has yet sustained in his career.

Lard Dealers Absconds.

CHICAGO, Dec. pa telegram from San
Francisco published here this morning an
nounced that Chas f. Merle, San Francisco
agent of N. K. Fairbank 4 Co., of this city,
dealers in lard and canned meats, had alb
seconded with $4,000 of the firms money. Mr..
Fairbank had not heard anything definite on
the subject. but was certain that if Merle had
absconded he could by no possibility have
taken as much money as was reported. Secre-
tary Gosman. of the Fairbank company, knew
nothing of Merle personally. but. by reference
TO the books, found that il would have been
impossible for Merle to be a defaulter TO the
amount of $4,000. Said he: The amount
named in the telegram must of necessity be an
exaggeration by ten or twelve times. / expect
the company is stuck for little. but certainly
not over $40, 600. Our San Francisco attorney

gomery passed a number of sentences, as fol-
lows: James h. johnson, convicted of petit
larceny, second offense, was first called. He
admitted that he had been in four scrapes and

like he was an incorrigible thief. The
defendant asked the leniency Of the court,

sins he had committed. The court said he
could not forgive him, and he believed that

A Steamers Curious Fate.
WRECKED IN PRINCE FREDERICK SOUND BY THE
RECEDING OF THE TIDE.


RECEDING OF THE TIDE.
ST. PAUL, MISN.. Dec. PA Port Town
send. w. T.. special to the PIONEER Press SAYS:
The steamship Idaho arrived from Alaskan
ports last evening bringing news concerning
the wreck of the steam schooner Leo at Prince
Frederick sound. about 20 miles southeast of
Juneau. on November %. The Leo left Seattle
one month previous laden with general cargo
Of furs. When stormy weather ensued she went
into Prince Frederick sound and anchored
The tide receded and the storm abated and the
Leo was left high and dry on a ledge of Table
Rock. The vessel settled down a distance of
10 feet striking her stern on rocky boulders
and completely demolishing the keel The
tide fell "a feet. The crew landed ON the
beach, half mile distant. and saved nearly all
the vessels gear. The whole cargo was lost
boat with five men was sent to Juneau for
assistance, and the rest of the crew remained
on the beach for twenty-five days waiting for
assistance. Capt. Whitford and the cook re-
manned at the scene of the disaster guarding
the saved material. The Leo sustained iniu-
ries which are irreparable and the vessel is a
total wreck. The steam schooner Leo was built
at Baltimore, Md, as a United States revenue
cutter. She was constructed of Florida liveoak
and was considered one of the staunchest cut
tiers in the service. After her arrival ON this
coast she cruised on Puget sound and Alaska.
at one time being fifteen months in Sitka har-
Dor, at another eleven months. She was finally
condemned and bought by San Francisco par
ties. Under their ownership she made frequent
trips to the Arctic, the most notable being the
transfer Of Lieut.. Ray and his party of the
United States coast survey to Point Barron. and
her subsequent return two years later TO San
Francisco. She also carried the famous miner
and frontiersman, Scheffelin, to the Yukon
river with his stern-wheel steamer New Racket
Capt. A. T.Whitford, of the Sitka Trading COM
pany, recently refused Sl2, 900 for the Leo. The

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Dec. ga story published in the
Tablet, the leading Catholic paper in London,
that Gladstone recommends arbitration be-
tween the pope and the king of Italy, is consid-
cred absurd by those best acquainted with
Gladstone's views. Moreover the extract
published by the Tablet does not bear
out this Interpretation. Gladstone speaks only
of arbitration, not a word about the pope.
Gladstone's enthusiasm for Italian unity and
liberty has never faltered. A private letter
from Naples says that Gladstone has no inten-
ton OF going to Rome to visit the pope. Ger
tainly Gladstone had no such intention when
he left England. He is represented as being
in fine health and spirits. He spends much
time sitting in the sunlight in the garden read
ing and also working leisurely at his article ON
the divorce law. He writes few letters, none
being forwarded from England.

Since the excitement incident to the sad
death Of Michael Keating by fall in the War

more abundant than usual, in discussing ways

cular construction of the stairway the
stepS are broad at the wall side, but converge
toward common center, and at the rail are
very narrow, being but a very few inches in
width. OF course the safest place to walk is on
the broad steps, for there the chance Of slip
ping is very slight, but nineteen people out Of
twenty. or perhaps even larger proportion,
always ascend the stairs on the rail side, where
the danger OF slipping is very great, because on
that side there Is q railing to assist them in
climbing. To some folks it is impossible
to ascend stairway Of thirty steps, such as
those in this building, without the aid Of rail,
and thus they risk the danger for the support
that they must have. Large-framed heavy
persons, to whom such aid is particularly
necessary, are in more danger Of clipping, and
possibly OF falling over the rail, than any
Others, and thus, in q measure, the railing that
is erected TO prevent accidents acts as q dan

In the case of Sylvanus Smith, of Pennsyl-

months imprisonment and $40 fine for passing
counterfeit coin, the pardon was granted be-
cause of the prisoners good character prior to

pardoned because there was doubt as to his
guilt, and on the recommendations of the Judge

stock market this morning was extremely dull.
while prices were steady, showing only insig-
nifcent changes from last evenings final fig.
ures. the only exception being Reading. which
was down g per cent. The dullness continued,
and outside Of Reading and New England the
operations were entirely without Importance.
but the two stocks mentioned showed mod
crate degree of animation and developed con-
siderable strength, Reading rising q and New
England II. To this improvement the general
list responded in feeble sort of way, aud by
the end of the half hour the strength departed
from the market, and was followed by a gem
eral decline which wiped out the early gains
and left the list generally at small fractions
below the opening prices. At III o'clock the
market was very dull and heavy to weak.
