sung by the whole school, showing that their
training had had good and capable attention.
The Rev. DR.. Harwood then addressed the
children in pleasing terms, after which the
children responded as their names were
called out and received their presents, &C.
companied with well filled cornucopia of
sweets. After the final carol was sung and
the benediction pronounced by the Rev. Mr..

Senator Teller Chats With a Reporter
Chances of Mr.. Blaine's Being Sec
rotary ofState.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2S.-The only dis
tinguished out-of town visitor at the resi-
dence of the President-eleet to day was Sena-
tor Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado, ex-Secretary
of the Interior under President Arthur. He
had a long private talk with the President
elect this morning and left the city shortly
after noon. In an interview just prior to
his calling on the President-eect, Senator
Teller said he thought the tariff bill would
pass the Senate not later than January % or
3d. He did net believe there would be an
extra session of Congress. He could see no
need of it. Regarding the talk about Sena-
tor Mitchell of Oregon as a cabinet possibility
Mr.. Teller said: ''If he should be appointed
his successor in the Senate would be Re
publican, as the Oregon legislature is Repub-
lean"
The senator thought that one of the new
cabinet officers weald certainly come from
the West. He stated that he expected to ex-
press his views to the President-eleot on pc
litical matters, but he should not urge the
appointment of any man; he should, how
ever, tell him him what he thought about
some men.
In response to the query as to whether the
Republican members of the Senate were not
generally of the opinion that Mr.. Blaine
should be invited into the cabinet Senator
Teller replied: 'There is a division oi
opinion Mr. BlaiRe's friends think that he
will be the Secretary of State, but there are
others who think his appointment might MOI
be advisable. From gentleman who is wei
advised on New York politics it is learned
that Senator Teller is an ardent supporter Of
ex Senator Platt, and this fact being estab
| lished, it seems probable, in view of his above
| declarations, that he spoke several goot
words for Mr. Platt

A Great Electric Plant.

New YoRK, Dec. 2S.-The Union League
club house was lighted last night for the first
time by the Edison Illuminating company,
and the electric light plant which is to sup
ply the residence district of the city from
Fourteenth street to Forty-ffth street and
from Third to Eighth avenues was success
fully put in operation. The wires in the club
house for about five hundred lamps have been
ready for some time, and all that was needed
was to start the big dynamos in the Thirty
ninth street station of the company. Mem
bers of the Union League were pleased with
the lights in their house last night, and
passers by frequently stopped in the street,
attracted by the brilliant appearance of the
house.
1t is something over six years since the
business of incandescent electric lighting on
the Edison system was begun in the down.
town districts of the city. September a, 1882,
a station was started at Nos. 200 and 257
Pearl street, and it has been running night
and day ever since. The electricity has been
furnished through ffty-six miles of under
ground wires, and is now supplying $4,000
lamps.
In the uptown districts about 1856 miles of
conductors have been laid and two new sta
tions are practically complete.

Steam Heat on the Cars-A legal OpiR.
ION.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2o--A special from AL
bany to the Mail and Exposes says: The at
torney general is backing up his receat opin-
ion to the effect that the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad must equip its
cars running on that portion of its road with
In this State with apparatus for heating
other than by stoves The company had sent
notice of its refusal to the railroad commits
sioners, claiming that the law did not apply
to its road as its lines extended less than fifty
miles in this State~ The railroad commits
sioners referred the matter to the attorney
general, who submits his opinion as above,
and he is to-day bringing case against the
company which will be tried in few days,
either in New York or in Westchester coun-
ty, probably in the latter place.

PEARL OF PEKIN.

The 'tPearl of Pekin,n the new Chinese
opera brought out by Rice & Dixey, was
given its first presentation in this city at the
Hyperion Theater last night. 1t was very
favorably received by large audience,
which was remarkably generous in demon
strating its appreciation. The opera re-
minds one very much of the "Mikado" in
the costuming and personages. The play it
self ia far from strong in plet, but what 1t
may lack in that respect is made up in its
general attractiveness, and the interest of
the audience was held intact through the
whole performance. The music is bright
and melodious, and several of the airs may
become quite popular. The company is
large and contains many well chosen and
talented singers, besides many pretty girls.
Louis Harrison as "Tyfoo," the leading
Chinese character, fills the part to general
satisfaction, and in most of his dialogues
and monslogues is protractedly funny. Much
of his success depends on his activity, and he
certainly does considerable lively kicking
He was ably assisted by Joseph Herbert,
who, as "Sosorki," Japanese official, was
exceedingly droll in his innumerAble contor-
tions. The part of the "Pesrp was taken by
Miss Belle Thorne, who was cordially APP
plauded. The pantomimic part of "Sing
High" Chinese attendant, was very con-
| spicuous and withal grotesque. The other
leading parts, as we'll as the chorus work,
both in marching and dancing, were very
uniform. The stage setting of the piece is
| elaborate, and some of the scenes with the
| striking and costly costumes are positively
| elegant. Considerable local interest Is felt in
the company because of the fact that Miss
| Claretta Erskine, one of the bright, coquet-
fish quartette of French waiting maids was
formerly New Haven young lady. She will
| appear this evening in the leading female
| part of "The PEARL There will also be q
matinee performance to-day.

In making this report to your honorable body,
the Board OF Compensation are prompted to say
that the hearings held by this board the property
owners on Walnut street have been very largely
represented, and the feeling has been unanimous
facts brought out at the hearings seem to be
these: A number OF years ago an employe or the
city engineers office in placing the mere stones on
Walnut street set them about seventeen inches
north of the line OF street laid OUT accepted and
built upon many years previous NOW. instead OF
putting the mere stones back where they properly
belong, you asked to legalize the mistake by
making a new layout of the .treet, which cuts of
the front stoops OF four dwellings, besides damaR-
ing other property making quite an expense to the
city without benefting anyone
The parties in interest des red that the attention
of your honorable body should be called to this
matter that you might take such action as may
under the circumstances seem best
It would seem proper to state, In addition, that
the damage to the Bernard Reilly estate, of which
Mr.. M Dillon is the administrator, would remain
