With ,Iaines K Pnlls aud Henry Clay


NEW YoRK, March 6-The dinner Of the
Federal Club at Delmonicos tonight was
the first dinner under Republican auspices
since the close Of the tifty-tirst Congress.
The dinner was given in honor Of Hon.
w. II. Arnoux, and when the guests sat
down to the tables there were $50 covers
laid in the famous banquet hall.
There was no set order of speeches, but
there was nevertheless plenty Of oratory in
honor of Repnblicanism.
The order in which speeches were made
by the able expounders of Republican doe
trine was as follows
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, who spoke
as the presiding officer; Hon. Thomas r..
Reed Hon Henry Cabot Lodge, Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, Gen. Stewart L.Wool-
ford and ex-Judge Armour.
Major William Mckinley sent a telc-
gram saying it was quite uncertain about
kept away by the illness of his wife. Let
tiers of regret were also received from Soc
rotary Blaine, Nice-Presdent Morton,
Postmaster Wanamaker, Seere-
taries Proctor, Noble and Tracy.
Mr. Lodge said: I'VE have given mi-
nority rule deadly blow. We have Grip
pied obstruction. We have proven to the
American people that the House can legis-
late, and we have made ii impossible for
any majority III the future 10 escape re
sponsihiity by the miserable excuse that
the minority would not let it, leeislatc. In
this great battle we have been led BY
Speaker Reed. He has been attacked and
abused, as the men who do things in this
world always are. On Wednesday the
minority gratified their spite by the petty
tliscourtesy of refusing to make the ordin-
AIRY resolution of thanks unanimous. Of
the the 30 Speakers who preceded Mr..
Reed 10 met with the same refusal, among
the number being James X. Polk and
Henry Clay. The minoritics were forgot

The Baroness Husband is not Implicated
in ANY Scandal.

LONDON, March PHILADELPHIA papers
have been received in which Mr., Burdette-
Coutts is namcd'as defendant in divorce
suit, and illusions are made to the parties
concerned (which have been common
property for weeks Even the most care
less gossipers would not have associated
Mr. Burdette-Coutts with the scandal in
England, where his character and mode of
life have placed him above suspicion.
The mistakes made by the American
papers have been as great a shock to the
Baroness Burdette-COutts as to her hus-
band. .rhe latter tonight writes to the
Associated Press TO state that the report in
some papers in the United States that there
is probability of his being implicated in
divorce suit is absolutely untrue; that
there is not shadow of foundation for
any imputation of the kind. The spirit of
fairness which always animates the Amer
lean press will, he feels sure, secure forthis
refutation of cruel scandal the same pub
licity that was given to the original report
cableG from London.

on his dampcned finger and then
smiling ut the bystanders, who
thought he was testing He
finally secured the proper edge and
knecling by the side Of Sanchez plunged
the blade in the sleeping mans abdo-
men, partially Withdrew With il, ran it
over against the hip bone, turned the
knife and forced it upward as far as the
ribs would allow ii to go. Muir then
pulled the shirt back over the horrible
gap, Strengthened up smilingly nodded
to persons around him; licked The blood
from the blade on one side and placed
the knife back in the scabbard by his
side. He was seized by those who wit
messed the crime and placed in custody.
Sanchez was alive at the last accounts.
Referring to his crime Muir says he was
