as she was only able to stand with difficulty,
and when her cue was given for singing the

dience Missed and the curtain was rung down.
In tho second act Mile. Van Zandt advanced to
the ppompter's box, then lost her balance and
fell, striking her forehead, which was badly cut
Her friends explain the incident by saying
that she had drank considerable champagne for
dinner without eating much aud that the heat
of the thcatcr brought on one Of the fainting
spells to which she is subject. This excuse
would be generally accepted but for the now
famous similar incident at the Opera
Comique in Paris several years ago, when the
same singer was thought by the audience to be
intoxicated and was promptly Kissed from the
stage. Although Mile. Van Zantlt has not APP
peared since i'll the French capital she has re-
manned o favorite in st. Petersburg, where
she has sung every winter. The excuse
made for Mile. Van Znndt in Paris was that she
was obliged to take stimuinnts to enable her to

q popular aversion to Americans was the real
cause Of the demonstrations against her.

port any republican II would mean the barter
Of principle on the part of republicans or
imply worse reflection on the

the contestant appear here through a
union OF the element opposed to democrats
than can to strengthen my position at the ex-
pense of the party by asking my friends to

dnitedly for any republican to contest my seat
the odium Of the entire transaction will then
rest equally upon them and the republican re-
ceiving their votes and our party escape much
Of censure which would otherwise attach to it
from this most lily devised transaction. I trust
above everything else that the action Of my
friends will he such that the republican party
of the nation and state will not have occasion
to blush for us and that the disgrace which
must come to the state from this contest may
be lessened as much % possible.

With the passage Of the Atkinson bill. and the

NOT SMOOTH SAILING.
The Free Coinage Men Troubled rs to How

The Free Coinage Men Troubled rs to How
To Force Vote.
The coinage committee continued their hear
ings today, proceeding as IL they were deter
mined 10 get all the information possible, re-
gsrdless Of the con Iteration of time. II is said
however, that q report of some sort may be ex-
pected next week.
The free coinage men are counting mp their
votes with the idea Of making another move to
force a vote on free coinage in the House. They
find that it is not smooth sailing and many of
them are very doubtful Of their ability 10 ae-
complish anything.
The trouble seems TO be that they cannot get
enough republicans to Join the democrats in n
vote for absolute free coinage. A number Of
the republicans who are reckoned as silver men
are in favor now Of restricting the coinage to
the American product, but when any consid-
cradle number advocate this. then arises the
question Of what the democrats would
do with such proposition. They cannot,
1t appears. get enough republicans TO join
with the democrats for the one proposition.
and not enough democrats TO Join with the re-
Publicans for the other Meanwhile the session
is slipping away.
The opponents of free coinage are still
anxious, however, and are daily in expectation
OF another move in the House. The threat Of
putting the force bill as a rider on an appro-
priation if a silver amendment is attached il
expected to deter some democrats from enter
ing too earnestly into the scheme 10 have an
appropriation bill carry free coinage
What the anti-free coinage men expect is a
motion to discharge the coinage committee.
1t is probable that Mr.. Reed would hold that
this was not a privileged motion, but it is
likely that he would entertain an appeal if
taken.
The silver men might show more strength on
an appeal of this sort on a doubtful question
than they did when the attempt was made 10
amend the sundry civil appropriation bill by
overriding plain rules.

A NEW BANK BUILDING.
The Home nj the National Capital Banh
Waited by Thousands.

Five thousand people and more crowded
themselves into the new building of the Ma
tional Capital Bank yesterday, admired the
beauties of the esthetically business-like inte-
rior, and congratulated the directors, stock
holders and officials on the practical results Of
q combination of legitimate activity and
public confidence. At 8 o'clock the
bank opened its doors for business just as 1t
has done six days week for sixteen months
past in a much less convenient building, and
before 10 o'clock the multitude was too numer-
GUS even for the spacious apartment which will
henceforth be sacred to finance Until IL o clock
the visitors interested themselves in examining
the prettily-decorated and furnished ground
floor, where palms. variety of growing plants
and a choice display Of cut flowers supple
mented the architectural attractions and COM
peted for popular favor With the fine burglar
and fire-proof vault. At noon the
on the second floor and there nearly 100 peo-
pie partook OF a substantial and satisfactory
lunch. While the viands we're being disposed
of Mr.. Samuel Norment made pleasant
speech, in which he congratulated the d.
rectorate on its magnificent building, on
the rapid growth of the institution and its great
prosperity. Mr.. c. Il. Bailey Endorsed all that
Mr.. Norment said and then gave way to Mr..
Samuel H, Walker who responded 6ttingiy on
behalf of the directors.
THE RECEPTION AT NIGHT.
From 5 to in the evening the doors were
closed. SO that the tellers might have an oppor-
tuuity to settle, and when that had been &C.
complished the building was once more open
for inspection. Almost concealed by plants
and flowers section of the Marine
Band added to the pleasure of
the occasion by rendering program of popu-
lar airs In the hall speeches were made by
Mr.. L. W. Smith. vice president Of the bank,
Judge o. B. Hallam. Representative s. s.
Yodcr and Mr.. NJ. /. Weller, all of the
speakers laying particular stress upon the prog
ress which has been and is being made

GEN. BUssEY AND THE ATTORNEYS.

Pension Attorneys Not to De Given the
Post once Addresses OF Claimants.
Assistant Secretary Bussey today sent the
following letter to the commissioner Of PEN
sions:
Herewith are forwarded TO you fonr conn
muDications-two printed and two written-all
of which are addressed to Anthony Martin. who
was recently allowed pension at Sl2 per month
under the act Of June q, 1880. The rate al
lowed Mr.. Martin is the highest sum to which
he is entitled or which is allowable to him
under the law; but the authors Of these COM
munications pretend that they can
procure for him an additional rating,
and solicit him TO permit them to fle for him
immediately an application for increase of
pension. These communications belong to the
same class of circulars to which your attention
was called February 4, 1891, as illustrations Of
the unprofessional, llegitimate and dis
reputable methods whereby certain PEN
Jude the soldiers Ii with am n.ndacious
promises in order 10 procure compensation for
worthless services. II 10 the judgment of the
department that these methods should not be
permitted among attorneys who are admitted
to practice before it. To tolerate them is al
most equivalent to approving them, and no
room should be left for misconstruing the de-
partments attitude by even the remotest i'm
plication.
1T is evident from these communications that
the authors of them habitually use and
guided by the press reports of pensions al
lowed in ascertaining the post Office address of
each pensioner. They use the printed lists in
directing their deceptive circulars and
in conducting their illegitimate cor
respondence. In view Of this fact, and
for the purpose of restraining the evil to which
your attention is called, respectfully suggest
that hereafter in giving to the press dnily or
otherwise the list Of new pensions allowed by
your bureau the post Office address of each PEN
siOner be excluded therefrom; and
also suggest that you prohibit any and
every person engaged in the service Of your
bureau from disclosing to any one outside of
the bureau, whether connected Herewith or
not, the post Office address of such pensioners
on pain Of dismissal from the service. And
suggest, furthermore that this rule be applied
with reference to divulging the names Of
claimants for pension as well as of pensioners
1T seems that good discipline requires that
persons holding official positions in the bureau
of pensions shall not be allowed to go use their
opportunities for obtaining access to official
records rs to serve the interest Of pension
agents or attorneys"

treason of men now prominent in political af-
