ton that came before them was with regard to
the Moss murder case and a libel case growing
out OF the street Improvement contract be-
tween the city and the Port Angeles Construc-

and Il. b. Mastick ct al served written notice
on the city council that they would resist the

claiming that the contract was not legally let
and that IL was obtained through bribery and

deavored to have the sigrers Of the notice ar
raigned for libel. The grand jury summoned the
parties on both sides and made q searching in

General Clarkson's Opinion.
New York World.

General James S. Clarkson, ex-assistant
postmaster general, was at the Everett
house few days ago. He is going abroad
with his family, and expects to enjoy q
long holiday, free from political cares and
worry. He is bitter partisan in politics.
He does not hesitate to express his opinion
freely as to the failure of the party to pass
the force bill in the Senate, and declares
their best chance for retaining power. He
thinks that the elections bill will be again
brought up, and such pressure used upon
Senator Don Cameron that he will lind
himself compelled to support that measure.
Mr.. Clarkson argues that the legislature Of
Pennsylvania has placed on record its APP
proyal of that bill, and that Senator Cam
eron could not have been reelected if his
disaffection towards the elections bill had
been known beforehand to his friends in
the legislature.

New York Sun.
There were nearly 200 men and women
and girls in the procession, and they were
stretched out so as to extend entirely along
one side of the garden, 50 that while the
musicians were stepping by the Madison
avenue entrance Carmencita was just APP
pearing at the opposite. end of the amphi-
theatre.
The sight Of her was signal for loud
est applause. Slowly the men drew her
chariot along, and as each box was passed
the enthusiasm of the numerous gathering
increased.
To Carmencita, accustomed to the stage,
applause is like champagne, and those who
were near enough to notice could observe
that upon her dark cheeks there rose
flush, and that from her eyes there shot
sparkle as the applause fell upon her ears.
It was moment of proud triumph for
the girl who but few years before had
been merely peasant in the land OF
Spain.
Here she found herself now in the
metropolis of America, before one of the
largest gatherings that had ever, come
together in the largest gathering place OF
New York. Here she found herself before
thousands Of people, an assemblage such
as perhaps no other individual could bring
together.
Here were men of millions and men of
debts, women OF fashion and women OF
disrepute, all looking upon her, and most
of them in one way or the other signifying
pleasure at the privilege. Some clapped
their hands, others waived handkerchiefs,
while many of the men stood up and
cheered.
No politician, no minister, no actress
ever before probably received such greet
ing in this city. The nearest approach to
anything Of the kind has been perhaps
when John L. Sullivan stood up before
Madison Square garden multitude, but not
even he commanded the presence of the
danes and rosebuds of Fifth avenue.
