wASHINGrON NOTES.

The President Will Go Out 50 Sea For a
 Rest-The COlored Mans Rfghts-The
 Department of State Denies the story
 Of Minister Enender.
 WASHINGTON, May 10.-President Harrison accompanied by his wife and baby Mckee will go down the Potomac for a short resting spell leaving tomorrow at 10 o'clock. They will go on the Despatch and expect to remain until Monday afternoon, the intention being to run out to sea and anchor over Sunday. Secretaries Blaine and Windom have been in- vited to accompany the President. MT. Blaine will doubtless do so, but MT. Windom will be unable to go.
 The Secretary of the Treasury to-day ap- pointed F. w. Flowers of Maine to be chie of the copying division of the supervising architects office, vice Robert T. Walker, re- duced.
 The President this afternoon appointed the following collectors of internal revenue: Levi 5. Wilcox for the eighth district of Illinois; Samuel D. Warcsstle for the twen- ty-third district of Pennsylvania.
 The interstate commission to-day decided the case of Wm. H. Heard (colored) against the Georgia Railway company. Heard com plaiued that he was compelled to ride from Augusta to Atlanta in second class dirty smoking and passenger compartment car, al- though he was travelling on first class ticket. Commissioner Bragg, who prepared the opin- ion of the commission. holds that the railroad company has violated the law in not provid- ing cars for the white and colored passengers equal in comforts, accommodation and equip ment. An order was issued directing the company to at once furnish their colored pas sengers with cars of equal comfort to those furnished white passengers.
 The regulations issued by the treasury de- partment for the collecting of duties on mer- chandise arriving by parcels-post from Ja- macia, Barbadoes and Bahama have been ex- tended to several merchandise arriving by parcels-p post from the British colony of the Leeward Islands on account of recent pos tai convention concluded with that colony. The convention goes into force on June 1 and will continue until terminated by mutual agreement, or annulled upon six months notice by the post-office department of other country.
 The department of state authorizes the most positive contradiction of the story that Minister Enender has declined the Danish mission because ne had learned that the ap- peintment was not acceptable to the Danish government. The department has not up to the present received official information of Minister Enender's resignation.
 United States Consul Cisco at Neuve Lare- do, Mexico, reports to the department of state that on the sixth instant the bridge across the Rio Grande connecting Neuvo Laredo, Mexico, and Laredo, Texas, was completed and opened with appropriate cere- monies which were participated in by United States and Mexican troops and business men of both towns. The consul says the new | bridge will greatly facilitate commerce be- ! tween the United States and Mexico and re- | suit in reduced rates of transportation.

 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 Anew society drama, 'tThe Artists Model, :" was presented at the New Haven Opera House last evening. It was Treasurer Williams benefit night and the last performance but two at this cosy theater under the manage ment of Mir. Wall. The play is an interest ing one and is in the hands of capable artists who, when they have thoroughly accustomed themselves to their parts, will doubtless achieve moderate success. The performance will be repeated this evening, and this after noon there will be 8 special matinee, coms meneing at 2:30 o'clock Manager Wall publishes the following valedictory: To My FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
 During my occupation of the New Haven Opera House,I have endesvored to conduct it legtmately, conservati yely and trust satisfactorily my pat rons, and the dramatic profession have selected from among the best of all travelling organizations, those which in my judgment, would be most accep- table, entertaining and instructive.
 With the present attraction I shall retire from the local care of this house. having leased it to Mir F. F. Proctor, an enterprising and experienced Theatrical Manager, who conducts a continuous chain of Theatres from Brooklyn and New York to Boston, inclusive.
 There will be change in the policy of the future management, either with regard to prices, the quality of the entertainment and it is therefore safe. to assume that the house will continue in its assured course of popularity and prosperity I desire to mako public mention of the pleasant business association I have enjoyed with my much esteemed friend, pr. Paul O. Skiff, during my occupation of his house.
 desire to acknowledge the generous aid which I have received from my friends of the New Haven press, and it is pleasure to say that I feel deeply grateful for the substantial appreciation of my la bors, manifested by the play going public during the past fva years.
 Very respectfully,
 HORACE WALL.

MISS DREXEL,S AIM.

She Purposes the Institution of a New Comm unity of Sisters-Her Object 1s to Educate Ihe Indians and Colored People.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-The Press this
 morning ssys: It can be announced on un-
 questionable ecclesiastical authority that Miss Kate Drexel's entrance into convent of the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburg is only tempo rary, and that she has no intention of becom- ing member of that order. Her purpose is not merely the general one of renouncing the world. Her position at the present time is simply that of one who has retired to medi- tate upon great and long cherished project, namely that of the institution of a new sis terhood, whose field of work shall be among the Indian and negro races.
 ''Miss Drexel's object" said a friend of the Drexel family yesterday, Gin taking the step which has attracted such widespread attention is simply to secure retirement from the world for several months, in order to know whether what she has had in her mind for some years past is Gods will in her re- gard, and if so, to become thoroughly &C., quainted with the interior life of religious community. As almost every one knows, Miss Kate Drexel has been for number of years interested in the Indian and colored missions. She has given most freely and most generously of her large income for the founding of schools for the education of h. dian and colored children. Not satisfied with giving her money, she wishes now to give herself to this work.
 "Miss Drexel feels that if 8 community of Sisters could be established who would de- vote themselves exclusively to the education of Indian and colored girls 8 grand work would be accomplished for the civilization and moral and religious improvement of these people. She is also satisfied that it can only be done by Sisters who would VOW themselves exclusively to this work. In retirement, therefore, and alone with God she wishes to find out whether He will make known to her that such is His will.
 'tMiss Drexel has already devoted much of her personal attention to this work to which she now seeks to devote her entire time and fortune. With her two sisters she has already made two visits to the Indian tribes of the West and Northwest. She knows their con- dition thoroughly and, therefore, realizes the necessity of the work she wishes now to un- dertake."
 When she actively enters on the new un- dertaking she will probably group around her number of young ladies who are simi- larly impressed with the possibilities of the field. Their influence will be thrown out all through the southern States and western States and territories. School houses and Catholic church will be given great impetus among the races toward which Miss DrexePs endeavors will be directed.

West Kennebunk.

Mr.. William Robinson Of this place who
has been for the last week very dangerously
sick, has, it is hoped, passed the dangerous
crisis, and Is in a fair way of recovery.
Capt. William Brown of Weber Hill,
when returning from the village last Satur-
day, came In collision with stone team and
was thrown upon the frozen ground and
badly shaken up. No bones were broken
but his fa,e was badly bruised and his
shoulder was somewhat injured. The car
rage was badly wrecked.
The snow, hail and rain storm of last Mon
day was a godsend to business men all
through York county. The mills which were
on the point of shutting down for want of
lumber will now continue running, as the
local supply will probably last till the spring
drives reach the mills. The snow Is aSout
six inches deep and very evenly distributed
over fields and roads, so that while the grass
roots are well protected, we have fine slei, III
Ing in every direction, and foundation that
will probably last through the winter.
The storm has called every available team
and all the lumbermen into activity and
given a hopeful impetus to business in every
direction. There is great supply of cord
wood ready for the market.
