MRS. vanderbils,s House Linen.

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt gets ali her
house linen from Paris, woven and dec
grated from selected patterns submitted
by the manufacturers. Her sheets are
considerably finer in texture than the
table cloths that $4,000 -a-year house
keeper could afford, and the drawn work,
fringing and edging with which they are
finished, are models in needle work.
Those wonderful Pieces of loom are made
with lap end some sixteen inches deep,
to be turned over the edge of the bed
clothes as finish for the spread. Some
have an arabasque pattern in open
applique, others are embe llished
with laid embroidery and some
have the monogram in Kensington of
drawn work. The sheets for the en- mpire
beds are trimmed with thread lace
founce or ruffle of embroidery, and
each, when laundered, is folded the size
of a handkerchief, tied with colored
ribbons and laid away between eachets
of sweet lavender. The pillow cases,
also of the very fruit of the loom, are
trimmed at the open end with lace, some
of it hand deep and as lovely in
texture as the ruffies of pictured mar
quis, and in one side is the monogram,
representing a sort of mosaic in thread
and the labor of months.-[N. Y. World.

THOSE DEMANDS.

The Council May Have Another
Chance at Them.
This morning the remodeling of the
old City Hall without a contract or with
out authority will be discussed in the
Council, and quite an interest is being
taken in the matter. 1t is probable that
the Council may be called upon to.
shoulder all the responsibility and pass
the demands for the unauthorized work
over the veto of the Mayor. The charter
provides that "any demand returned to
the City Clerk with the objection of
either the Mayor or City Auditor shall
again be considered by the Council, and
if it shall again be approved by the
Council by the same vote, and later re.
corded and endorsed in the same manner
as required in section 209 hereof, the said
objection shall be thereby overruled."
Section 209 provides that the de-
mands shall be referred to the
Finance Committee, and if approved
by it shall be considered by the
Council, which "shall, if the same be
just and legal, approve the same" The
same section also provides that it shall
Council to approve the demands.
The question whether the same vote
as before will be recorded on the re-
jected demands will be decided, but it is
understood that some of the Council will
change their votes, having come to the
conclusion that they had no right to ap.
prove demand which was for work
done under the instruction of commit
tee which had received no authority to
proceed from the Council. AS stated on
Saturday morning in the HERALD, the
records of the Council simply show that
the matter of preparing plans for adver-
tisement for bids was referred to the
Building Committee. There was no mo-
ton giving the committee power to act,
nor was there any ordinance passed au.
thorizing the expenditure of any sum of
money under $500, nor any contract ap-
proved as was necessary when the work
was to exceed $500 in cost. 1t is stated
that the city is not liable for the payment
of any of the demands. but that those
who ordered the work done and gave
their constituents jobs are responsible.
The action of the Council this morning
will be watched with interest,

IRRIGATION LANDS.

Information Desired as to the
Amount Withdrawn for the Pur-
pose.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
In its discussion o the irrigation question
the senate will investigate closely the
amount of public lands withdrawn from
the public domain and set aside as the
property of the United States not subject to
entry under the act of Oct. O. 1888. Senator
Teller to-day secured the passage of reso-
luticn asking the secretary Of the interior
for complete information as to the amount
of lands withdrawn in the act. He also
wants to know just what consideration the
secretary of the interior gives to this act
and how much authority the secretary
entries have been suspended under the pro-
visions of this act, and Senator Teller also
asks for statement as to just how
many there are. The secretary OF the in
terror has for some time had this question
under consideration, and recently referred
the subject to the attorney general for con-
sideration. It is not unlikely that large
tracts of land which have heretofore been
part public lands, and which have to some
extent been entered upon by settlers and
corporations, will be withdrawn pending
the question of the feasibility Of the irriga-
ton systems now under the consideration
of congress. If the act of Oct. 2, 1888, does
not confer the necessary authority on the
officers of the department of the interior, it
is probable that an act may be passed ut
this session looking to this result. This
will be done to give every possible facility
by surveying public lands which may be
necessary in the construction of reservoirs
necessary for carrying out their irrigating
systems.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Specialize Clayton
Breckinridge investigating committee list

RECIPROCITY IN TRADE.
Work Of the ePan-American Congress
Elogized in the House..


Elogized in the House.
WASHINGTON, Special The house to-day
went into committee of the whole on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill.
Mr.. McCreary (Kentucky) made an argu-
ment in favor OF reciprocity with the South
American republics. The Mckinley tariff
bill, he said, tended to close the Canadian
and other markets now open to the surplus
products of the United States, although the
United States should have reciprocity with
Canada as we'll as with the countries of Gen.
trail and South America. He eulogized the
work of the Pan-American conference, ~
declared that the example and wisdo.-
the conference had fastened thu
downfall of the empire of Brazil
and the establishment of the republic.
In spite of blunders and mistakes, he be-
believed that the international conference
would be recorded in history as success.
It would be remembered as the first step in
the social and commercial union among
the American republics. Mr.. Chipman Of
Michigan said there was great scramble
and competition among the nations for
commerce and trade. In this competition
there was one nation absent-one which
had no voice or potency in the conflict
and that nation was the United States. He
hoped that this country would have for
eign policy-a policy vigorous for protec-
ton, vigorous for aggression; q policy
which would seize upon the fields of trade
and commerce; which would assert itself
on every sea; which would cause the flag
to float wherever other flags foated, and,
above all, give the country fair share of
the commerce Of the world. The commit
tee then rose and the bill was passed.

posing counsel in the Wrightman murder
case, Maj. Warner representing Detective

representing the prosecution. 1t was at the
preliminary examination. The case had
been closed and the question had been
raised as to what disposition should be
made of the bones of the alleged
murdered man and the other evi-
dence that had been submitted. Maj.
Warner insisted that they should be allowed
to remain with the officers of the law. Mr..
Greyston insinuated that the officers were
not honest. Maj. Warner said the gentle
man was mistaken, and Mr.. Greyston called
him a liar. The major advanced toward
Greyston, when the latter thrust his hand
into his hip pocket and was about to draw
a revolver when the major pounced upon
him and forced him to the floor in corner.
With his hand on Greyston's throat, the
major was heard to say: "1f you attempt
to draw that revolver I'll break your neck"
The combatants were finally separated. No

PERSISTENT RELATIVES.
Efforts Made to Secure a Pardon fol
Montana Prisoner.


a Montana Prisoner.
WASHINGTON. Special Telegram
The persistency. tears and pleadings of the
mother and two sisters of man now in the
Montana penitentiary have moved the
hearts OF high officials here to interfere in
his behalf The mans name is Rowand.
About two years ago he was convicted of
murder in the second degree and sentenced
to life imprisonment. A brother of Gov.
Toole was his attorney, and all that could
be done at law was done to save him. He
came from Quebec, of good ancestry, and
his family was wealthy. He was and is
still q subject of the queen. As soon as he
was imprisoned his mother and two sisters
began the weary work of seeking a
pardon for him. The governor of
Montana was said to have been
disposed to exercise clemency, but the
board of pardons of the state refused. The
mother went to Ottawa and there laid her
case before the Canadian premier. He be-
came interested and at length wrote to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British minister
here, asking him to intercede on behalf of
Rowand. The mother and daughters ar
Julian and, with tears, laid their case be-
fore him. He responded and wrote Secre-
tary Blaine, asking as an International
courtesy that he use his influence to secure
the pardon. The letter was taken to the
state department by the mother, and in re-
sponse to the request Secretary Blaine has
written the board of pardons of Montana,
asking if, as courtesy between nations, a
pardon cannot be granted to young Row
and. Mrs. Rowand and her daughters are
still here anxiously waiting to know thelre-
suit of all their pleadings for the son and
brother.
