AN EMPRESS ABROAD.
Fredsrick's Widow and Daughter In Paris
Object Of the Visit.


Object Of the Visit.
PARIS, Feb. 23.-Empress friedrich, OF
Germany, took lunch yesterday with Baron
do Lucher, Bavarian charge d'anaires,
where she met Whitclaw Reid. United States
minister, and Lytton. the British ambassa-
dor. Reporters still hunt for the imperial
visitor AZ she travels about the city. The
result Ia that Empress Fredrick has resort
cd TO various expedients in the attempt to
shake of the newspaper men lowering
about the embassy. Frequently the en-
press and her daughter, Princess Margaret,
drive of in different directions in order to
create diversion and bewilder the jour
nRlistic forces, but tho latter manage to
keep pretty closely on the trail of the en-
press In spits OF her efforts to keep away
from them.
Yesterday evening there was rumor cir
cuIated to the effect that the two ladies
would be present at the La Mornex concert
consequently great crowd collected In
ana about the vicinity OF the concert hail.
but the empress and her daughter did not
appear. Two Germans sang Mozart and
Wagner duets in German, a hazardous pro-
ceeding before French public. The audi
snce, after hesitating for g few moments as
II undecided whether to hiss or applaud,
suddenly burst out into vociferous ap-
plause. There can be no doubt that the
cmpress' visit to Paris IL productive of a
much better feeling towards Germany.
Inc principal motive for Empress Freder-
ick's visit to Paris 10 the settlement OF
100000 francs bequeathed to her by the
Duchess Of Galliera. This legacy the en-
press intends to apply to refurnishing and
to the decoration Of the castle of Konigs-
ton. She IL drawing heavily upon the
French art collections in carrying out this
task.

WASHINGTON, Febe Ex-senator Morgan
made personal statement this morning in
connection with Washington dispatch to
the st. Louis Republic commenting on his
speech in opposition to the Nicaragua canal
bill and stating that it WAS difficult TO SEQ
how any reasonably, sane and reasonably
honest man could support the measure.
There were no objections. Morgan said, to
certain criticisms being made on private
account, but the person who made this had
the privilege Of the floor Of the senate and
through the indulgence Of Q democratic
senator he had access to the senators in
such way as to give perhaps peculiar de-
gree Of authenticity to his accusation of
dishonesty against senators who advocated
the Nicaragua canal bill. Morgan went ON
to state tha. the committee ON foreign reIa-
tions had not supposed it was exposing it.
self to the criticisms Of newspaper CORE
spondents, who, by the courtesy Of sena-
tors, had access to the floor. Pressure Of
that sort, he said, might come from outside
the senate if it would, but when II came
from persons enjoying the hospitality of
the senate 1t vas something he did not feel
disposed to pat up with. He called the at
tention of the senate to it now and would
take action on it later unless corrected.

could probably throw light upon the cause
of the explosion is left to tell the tale. Not
only are sll collieries idle, but all business
in the town is at standstiIl.

the victins Of that terrible disaster were
found alive this afternoon. They were all

Up to to-day thirteen bodies had been
found and and the rescuers worked harder
than ever to learn tho fate OF
the remaining five. Late tonight
while two men were searching in the
breast Of the east gangway they came across
tho five Hungarians huddled close together
and almost dead. They were so weak that
with one exception they could not be
moved. John Tomakpsy, who was stronger
than the Others WAS taken up to the engine
house. Doctors we're summoned and large
stock of blankets taken down with them to
the other four men. Careful nursing will be
given them and every effort nut forth
to save their lives. The searchers say that
their attention was attracted about nine
o'clock by slight tapping on tho wall and
working in that direction thev finally came
upon the men. John Tomakusky had been
endeavorjng to make himself heard and in
q faint voice informed them that he and
the others were almost dead. II was not
long before the men were reached.
Tomakusky, when partially revived, said
the contents OF their dinner pals kept
them alive for six days. Then they lived
on oil from their lamps and bottles. After

THE COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
Address Of Miss Frances E. Willard
Before an Enthusiastic
Audience.
Glorious Achievements to Be
Brought About by Thorough
Organization.
More Was Accom- plished in the Pas
Three Years Than in tho Decade
Previous.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 3.-The featnre Of
this mornings session OF the first trienniai
council Of the women Of the United States,
was the address OF, Miss Frances Il. Will
lard, president. Albaugh's Opera house
was nlled by q highly enthusiastic audi
ence compoded of representative women
from all parts of the country. Miss Will
lard, in her address. said that difference Of
opinion on one question must not prevent
the women of America from working
unitedly on those on which they can agree.
They were engaged in q heroic struggle to
lift women from mere sexhood up toward
glorious womanhood, and to do this for hu-
mRnity's sake was the problem.
When every woman shall say to
every other, and every workman shall
say to every other, "Combiner' the war
dragon shall be slain. the poverty viper ex-
Terminated, the gold bug transfxed by a
silver pin, the saloon drowned out, and the
last white slave liberated from the woods
Of Wisconsin and the bagnios of Chicago
and Washington. Miss Willard then spoke
of the details Of the organization. and
favored the most complete and extensive
one possible, one that should include and
comprehend local councils in every state,
county, city, town and village in the land.
She reviewed the advance of women, and
said these tloee years since the last council
have produced greater results than the pre-
vious ten years,
Speaking OF Parnell, she said the chief
Significance of his present discrowned state
had been but little emphasized yet in the
public mind, but, to ber thinking, the
woman question has had NO triumph SO sig
nal in our generation. 1T is not many
years." she said, "since any man Of
great gifts and splendid public achievements
was, as man in his relations to men, an
entirely different personality, with whom
the public had nothing to do, no matter
how basely he might conduct himself. This
was because the estimate Of woman was 90
much beneath that which is now held.' A
number of interesting papers were read.

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH.

Work Of the Presbyterian Committee ON
Shevision -chspters ChangA
COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. H3. DIR. Moore, Sec
retary os the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, committee on the revision of the Con-
fession of Faith. which held its second ses-
sion at Washington, Feb. IA to 49, fur
nishes the following report: The same
method was pursued as at the session at
Allegheny. SO that the entire confession
was revised and attention given to the an
swer of the presbyteries on each chapter
and section designated by them. The work
done and tentatively adopted at Allegheny
was passed in review and confirmed or
changed as deemed best. The committee
thus revised chapters ]. to XVI. The re-
naming chapters we're taken up at these
sessions and the changes tentatively made
were finally adopted as the mature judg
ment of the committee. The changes,
eliminations and additions are chilly in
chapter l., 81; chapter Ill. 8 s.; chapter w.,
1: chapter W., 4; chapter VII, SO; chapter
VIII, 3-6; chapter XI., 1-3; chapter XIV, L;
chapter xvi, Il chapter XXI, 4: chapter
XXIII., 3; chapter XIV, 8; chapter XIV,
6; chapter XXIX., 2. and chapter NIX, 2.
The general desire expressed by presby-
teries in their answers was for the most
explicit statement of the love of God for
the world; for the sufficiency of the atone
ment and the free offer of salvation to all
men, for the recognition of the church and
duty to the evangelical world; for a state
ment of individual responsibility for saliva
tion; for fuller statement respecting the
person and worth of the Holy Spirit. The
committee sought to meet these by the
preparation of two new chapters. one on
the work of the Holy Spirit, to follow chap
ter WILL, "of Christ the Mediator the
other. "of the universal offer of the gospel"
to follow chapter IX., ION free will" The
chapters meet most Of the suggestions in
the answers of the presbyt teries, and make
many of the changes asked for in her
chapters unnecessary. Its conclusions were
reached with harmony and its report
will be neither Of the majority
or the minority, but of the revision
report before the time of the meeting of
the next assembly, which was left to the
discretion of the committee, was fully con-
sidered. and it WIS unanimously agreed
that We do not print any part of our record
prior to tho meeting of the next assembly,
with the suggestion that the work of the
committee be referred to the presbyteries
for their consideration, but not AZ an over
ture for final action, but that the presby
committee ut their full meetings, carefully
consider it, suggest any change that they
may deem advisable. and forward n report
of the same to the secretary of the revision
committee by the first of December. 1891.
and that the committee subsequently net
upon these suggestions of presbyteries and
make final report to the assembly of 1892.

parent that injury is threatened to the lib
critics of the people, and inasmuch aa no
remedy exists now. except in the power Of
the majority, which is usually in political
sympathy with the presiding officer, the
judiciary committee is directed to submit
a joint resolution. submitting for rati6ca-

Marquis and the Crisis.

LONDON. Feb. 23.-The first of a series of
articles published in the Daily Graphic on
the Canadian crisis, written by Marquis of
Lorne, appeared to-day. Among othor
things the marquis said: "The annexation
scareisa a useful lesson, bringing home to
our minds the fact that the colonies are
practically an independent nation. This is
a wholesome thing for the public to be re-
minded Of. No comparison is possible be-
tween the colonies and Ireland" The
marquis ridicules the idea thet Canada de-
sires to barter her political independence
for the government Of the stars and stripes.
