CHICAGO, July 25.-The following state
meut as the situation of affairs in the
Transeontinentsl Railway association was
made to a reporter for the Associated
Press this afternoon by very prominent
member of the association published
reports as 70 the terms asked by the Cana
dian Pacific and terms offered by the
Southern Pacinc in the matter of differen-
tials are inaccurate. The fact is, that at es-
terday's meeting the question of ditteren-
tials which was referred by the Girard
meeting to the executive committee for
consideration, and by that committee re-
ferred 10 a subcommittee OF four, this
committee made a unanimous report, but
il was not entirely satisfactory TO either
the Southern or Canadian Pacific, and il Is
now held under consideration by the exec
utive committee. You may say the associ-
alton is not going TO pieces There ia
feeling in the association, and it has only
one or two exceptions, that there should be
no dlfferentials. At the same time, in the
interest of harmony small differentials
may be conceded.

A Big Dry Goods Firm Makes An Assign
ment.
NEW YORK. July 25.-The announce
ment that the notes of the heavy dry goods
firm of Lewis Bros. & Co. had gone to pro-
test was all absorbing in mercantile circles
to-day. According to current report the
liabilities OF the firm amount to nearly
81, 4,000,0 900. A reporter who visited the
firms store to-day found manager and EN-
pIoyes on hand and apparently as busy as
bees. The absence of the proprietors from
the place during the forenoon gave rise to
the supposition that they were endeazor-
ing to make arrangements to take up the
protested notes. IL Is nnderst ood that II
the firm could be given q little time they
would be able TO pay in full and continue
business.
THE NEWS AT PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Surprise was
by the announcement that the frm of
Lewis Bros & Co., wholesale dry goods
dealers, had made an assignment While
the exact amount cannot as yet be ascer-
tained IL is thought the liabilities will sum
up nearly S4,0OO,0 900. The firm is one of
the largest in its line of business in the
city and perhaps in the country. Ii has
houses in many large cities of the United
states, notably New 0rk, chicago, Baltl-
more and Boston. Members of the firm
resident in this city are Geo. w. Wharton,
Joseph w. Lewis and Henry Lewis.
Wharton. when seen this morning,
promptly authenticated the rumor
that his firm had made an assignment.

MINISTER LINCOLN
The selection of Robert Lincoln to represent
the American government at the first court on
the diplomatic list is a tribute to the memory
OF the President who controlled public affairs
AZ n time when the relations between the indie
pendent republic and the mother country were
more sensitive than at any other period in the
history of their international relations. The
duties of the legation will be largely social.
The training of Mrs. Lincoln in the court life of
the republic will, therefore. make her a repre-
sentative type of the refined manners Of the
daughters OF America.
MRS. LINCOLN
was born at Iowa City. but on account of her
fathers long service in public life nearly all
of her youth, up to the time of her marriage,
was passed in Washington. She received her
finishing education at one OF the fashionable
schools in New York. She is the daughter of
James Harlan. a Senator of the United States
from 1855 to 1865. He then resigned in order
to accept the appointment of Secretary of the
he was reelected to the Senate. from which he
retired in 1873 From 1882 until 1885 he was
presiding judge of the court OF commissioners
OF Alabama claims. 1t was during his first
senatorial career that the Presidents son met
the daughter of the Senator from Iowa and i'm
1868, after the latter had returned to the SEN
ate the second time. Mr.. Robert Il. Lincoln and
Miss Harlan were married at the residence of
the bride in Washington. They immediately
established a home in Chicago, Upon the sue
20 Of fol he Il
coin was chosen Secrc tary of War, which posi-
ton he held through the administrations of
Garfield and Arthur. When Mr. Lincoln re-
tired from the cabinet he returned with his
family TO Chicago, where they have since
made their residence.
The name of Mr.. Lincoln was associated with
the presidency during several conventions. but
political interests sent the nomination else
where.
THE FAMILY
of the new minister to England consists of
grown daughter Nary and a son aged fifteen
and daughter thirteen, who will accompany
their parents. This will not be Mrs Iincolns
first visit to Europe, as she spent six months
there in 1872
Mrs. Lincoln is a lady of pleasing presence
and OF quiet manners. She will soon win her
way to the kind attentions of Queen Victoria.
and that will insure the rest. Her life as well
as that of her husband, at the English court
TIb be thoroughly American.
TO SPAIN.
11ie second diplomatic mission on the Amer
Jean list, chronoloSically speaking, is Spain
The first permanent diplomatic representation
began i'll 1890. and since then many notable
names have appeared on the list of American
diplomats lii the land of the Alhambra.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1889-04-27

The diplomatic service is one of constitu-
iional designation. During the first days of the
republic it was the highest duty which could be
bestowed upon citizen and only upon one of the
most exalted ability and public experience. This
delicate branch of the public service contributed
six distinguished citizens to the line of Presi-
dents. John Adams. Thomas jefferson, James
Monroe. John Quincy Adams Martin Van Blu
rem. and James Buchanan. and one, John JAY,
TO the high rank OF Chief Justice of the United
States. The Introduction of steam and cleo
trici.v ~ a medium of communication has
changed the relations of diplomatic representa-
ton al the courts OF the world, the duties of
minister being more of social than OF an
official nature Ambitious preHiers have pre-
ferred 20 conduct negotiations themselves. and
ministers lave simply been the channels of
communication between their own govern
ments and that near which they reside. The
negotiations of treaties have been the result of
the labors of commissioners OF special ENJOYS
and the occasion OF diplomatic iunkets.
Modern resident diplomatic duties at for
eign capital is judged by the standing at court
and the social influence and importance of the
minister and his surroundings. The ladies of
the ministers family therefore play a promi-
nent part in the creditabic representation of
the republic at foreign courts.

Of late years the social status of the Ameri-
can legation ut Paris has occupied the highest
place IN the diplomatic corps. As the republic
has become great and powerful and its in
htence felt in the affairs of the world its diplO
matte representatives have risen above the
prejudices OF the representatives, of royal mas
tiers.

The marriage of Ida Marie /Ionore to Col.

beauty and accomplishments gave her a promi-
nent position i'll the social world very rarely

Louisville. Her father, II. II. HonorG, and

French with great huency. She exhibits re-
markable taste IN her toilettes. which, with her
striking beauty. will add greatly to her social
success.
THE AMERICAN LEGATION,

popular near the court of Francis Joseph. They

tarry at Paris for few days, reaching Vienna
