Gala Opera Performance - Thinks lie
Heard a Bullet.
LONDON, July 8.-,rhe gala opera per-
formance this evening was tho finest spec
tacle ever witnessed in London, surprising
in every way any previous affair of the
kind. The interior of tho opera house was
lavishly decorated. Several thousand
pounds were spent for flowers alone.
The audience was composed of the bost
known of the aristocracy. The prince of
Wales conducted the empress and the en-
peror conducted the princess of Wales to
the royal box. The duke and duchess of
Edinburgh, duke and duchess of Con-
naught, duke and duchess of Fife, marquis
and marchioness of Lorne and twenty
others of the royal family composed the
rest of tho party. The programme was
splendidly carried out. Miss Eames, Nine.
Albani and Deressekes received unstinted
plaudits from the occupants of the royal
boxes. 1t was after midnight before the
Huguenots was begun.
The lives of the German emperor and
other royalties were endangered by an in
cldent which occurred at the review of
Eton volunteers Monday, and which was
kept secret. A reporter learned the facts
tonight from person of undoubted author
lty. The emperor. at the timo referred
to, was watching the evolutions of
chatting with the prince of Wales and
others directly in front of the line. FL
nally. tho command of fire was given,
which was followed by an explosion from
solitary gun, while the hammers of all
other guns simply clicked, as was intended
1t was explained that one boy had put in a
blank cartridge by mistake but it
is also asserted that it was
ball cartridge which the lad had
carelessly left in his gun the week before
After the range firing all officers present
hastened to assure the emperor it was only
blank cartridge. The emperor, smiling,
was unmoved, but on returning home it is
reported that he said he was certain it was
no blank cartridge. because he heard the
whiz of the bullet distinctly.

Russian Israelites Newly Come

BALTIMORE, July Sat the council of the

things he said: ''lu the ncxt ten years not
less than 100000 or 100000 Russian Jews

THE TALK OF THE TOWN.
TIL ose Steepies on the New High School
building.


Building.
They are the talk of the town. those two
steeples which are being put up on the east
and west ends of the new High School
building. The public has heard great
deal about the high school buildinR-how
it started out to cost $4,000 and will come
nearer 100000 before completion. Look
ing at the result of the expenditure how
ever, as seen in an imposing stone struc-
ture. the extra cost was in a measure
overlooked. The high school building is
really fine looking edifice from an archi-
tecturnl standpoint as we'll as from the
standpoint of ordinary mortals whose
tastes have not been educated up to the
appreciation of the beautiful in art. Some
days ago, however, people who have been
watching the progress of the workmen
we're surprised to see two cone
shaped arrangements growing on top the
building, one on either end. AS the double
headed 'nonstrosity continued to wax in
height II was seen that the massive and inn
posing stone building was to be surmounted
Ey two small steeples about as much in
keeping with the style and character of the
structure as they were propoTtionate to its
size. Remarks could be heard on all sides
and they we're not always complimentary.
The general opinion is that the building
would look much better without its minia-
ture steeples. They may present different
appearance when thu whole thing is COM
pleted, but at present they are singularly
and strlkingly unattractiye.

DIPLOMATIC CORREsPoNDENCE.
Inc United States as Peacemaker Between
England and Venezuela

The United States as Peace make er Between
England and Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, July Sin the diplomatic
correspondence of last year, Just pub
llshed, is a statement of the efforts made
by the government of the United States to
secure an amicable adjustment of the
boundary dispute between Venezuela and
Great Britain. February II, 1890, the Ven
ezuelan minister represented to SEQ
retary Blaine that the British gov
ernment had forcibly taken posses
sion of part of Venezuela, near
Guinea, and begged the intervention of the
United States. Blaine instructed Minister
Lincoln at London to use his good offices
with Lord Salisbury to bring about the re
sumption of diplomatic intercourse be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela as a
preliminary step to settlement by nrbitra-
ZION, ana to propose an informal confer
tlon of the United States is one
solely of impartial friendship. Lord
Salisbury, after some time. wrote
Minister Lincoln saying her maiestv's gov
ernment was very sensible of the friendly
feeling which prompted the offer on the
part OF the United States but was at the
present time in communication with the
Venezulan minister in Paris in reference CO
to the renewal of diplomatic relations the
rupture of which was the act of Venezuela
lie added that he had informed Senor Ur-
baneja of the willingness of Great Britain
to abandon certain portions of the
claim which they believe themselves in
strict right entitled to make and to sabmit
other portions to arbitration, reservine
only that territory as to which they believe
their rights admit of no reasonable doubt.
Public opinion on the subject, he said, is
unfortunately excited in Venezuela and the
facts OF the case have been misunderstood.
On June %, Mr.. Lincoln presented to Lord
Salisbury, Sr. Pulido, special Venezulan
envoy, who was courteously received, and
there the matter ended SO far as the CORE
spondence shows.
