What Secretary Foster Saw

After returning from the house of COM
mons Thursday Secretary Foster said to
one of the London reporters:
"Mr Lincoln got me seat in the diplo-
matte gallery, where had the good luck to
hear some of the best speakers. The de-
bate on the arrangement of the house, was
not the sort to bring out oratory, but il en-
abled me to judge what was the styIe OF
the speakers. l naturally compared them
with our men in congress. What struck
me most was the general drawing and
hesitating way of speaking, in strong con
trast with our direct and more earnest style.
Mr.. Gladstone approached the nearest to
our American ideas Of a good speaker.
Mr.. Labouchere, who was next, resembled
a good congressional debater. [ was also
pleased with Mr.. Balfour's quiet manner
and his obvious ability to make a clear
statement, although he does not speak
with emphasis.
Regarding the internal aspect Of the
mouse OF commons, | was astonished ON
comparing its cramped galleries, holding a
few hundreds Of persons, with the spacious
galleries Of the house of representatives in
Washington. The floor Of the house. too
1t seemed impossible that it could hold the
members of great legislative body. After
the debate went to the lobby, where a
number of members were introduced to me.
We did not talk pelities."

AnacOrtes City Bonds.

New York Recorder: H. M. Benedict,
Of the new city Of Anacortes, Washington,
was IN wall street yesterday on business
for his town. He is floating some bonds
on the market here and has no trouble in
finding investors, as is generally the case
with these small corporation secureties Of
the rising West. 1t is the custom to place
the rate at per cent, and the time at
twenty years. Mr.. Benedict says bonds Of
this class are far better investments at that
rate than the government securities under
rapidly contracting policy of the govern
ment, due to the discharge of the public
debt; or railway stocks, with the uncer
talntles of freeze-out deals and other
schemes OF professional operators to sacri-
flee small holders.

Blaine and the Catholics.

Boston Transcript: The secretary in
tends doing certain thing this month
that perhaps he has wanted to do for a long
time, but circumstances beyond his control
have prevented it. This is, he intends Civ
ing a dinner in honor of Cardinal Gibbons
1t is said, and is probably true, that Secre-
tary Blaine has all his life at heart cher.
ished the religion of his mother, who was
a Roman Catholic. 1t is known that when
he had his famous sunstroke a Catholic
medal or scapula was found around his
neck. His mothers family seem to have
been very devoted Catholics, and he him
self was brought up in the strictest OBJ
servances of the church. When his eldest
daughter married Colonel Coppinger, an
alter was erected for the marriage at the
Blaine house, a priest performed the cere-
mony, and it was noticed that Mr.. Blaine
followed the religious service very puneti-
l1ously. Almost Immediately after the
marriage his daughter became Catholic.
When his son, James g., Jr. began to give
trouble to his parents, Mr.. Blaine sent him
to the Jesuit College in Georgetown, hav-
ing high opinion of the power Of the
Jesuits TO manage an otherwise unmanage,
able boy. When the Jesuits had get
rid of him, Mr.. Blaine went in
person and begged the president
Of the college TO keep the boy,
but the request could not be
granted. So that theory is colorado that
Mr.. Blaine now feels at liberty to enter
tain his early predictions little more
than he used to, for in 1882 he wasn't enter
tanning dignitaries of the Catholic church
IN any very marked manner. Thing are
changed in 1892

DOLLS AND KNIVES.
PRIZES AWARDED AT THE CHILL
DREN'S PARTY.

A Merry crowd of LittIe Girls and
Boys Fancy Dancing -The Lit
tie Ones Raise Neat sum of
Money.
1t looked as though nearly all the young
ones in Olympia had congregated in the
Unitarian church last evening. The heavy
run did not interfere in the least, and the
children entered into the enjoyment of the
evening as though they meant business.
Each one tried to outdo the other in noise
and perfect din prevailed.
Every child looked as bright and happv
as a pretty costume and ehildren's party
could make it. In the grand march thew
presented an unusally pretty sight, with
nearly $50 boys and girls in line.
This was followed by the Highland Fling
danced by Miss Rosa Brown and Miss Nil
lie West, and Miss Pearl Hall in the Sail
or's Hornpipe. The young ladies never
tall to attract the greatest interest in the
execution of the fancy dances. A general
dance, in which all the children Dartici-
pated followed.
From lines stretched across the rooms
were suspended dolls of all sizes and COL
Of Jack-knives. The line on which the
dolls were suspended broke and in the fall
several fine dolls were damaged which
almost broke the hearts of their little
owners.
Miss Aver and Mrs. Shepherd awarded
the prizes for dolls, as follows: For the
prettiest the little Misses Perry had twin
dolls, which were awarded the first prize of
tete tete set of dolls glass ware. Miss

IT Is RELIGION
THAT CAUSED THE SPLIT in THE
PRUSSIAN CABINET.
The Oid spirit of Intolerance and
Persecution Against Certain
Sects is shown in AN Educa-
tIonaI Bill Before the Diet.

SecGs is shown in AN Eduea-
tionaI Bill Before the Diet.
| BERLIN, March l9.-Only one paper this
morning maintains that Chancellor Won
Capriri has resigned. The latest informa-
ton makes it practically certain that the
chancellor has not resigned, and that the
crisis affects only Count seidhtz Won
Trutschler. The primary education bill,
which occasioned the crisis, affects only
Prussia. and is Of distinctly department
al origin which makes it extremely impro-
bable that the national government will be
affected.
The primary education bill caused the
split in the ministry and caused wide
spread and bitter opposition. The popu-
lar sense of justice revolts against the
measure which will force the Methodists,
old Catholics, Unitarians, deists and free
thinkers generally to have their children
educated i'll some state recognized creed,
The sects which the bill admits as rule
for qualified religious societies are Marayi-
ans, Quakers, Greeks, Anglican, Jews and
all Lutherans. Parents who are neither
Catholics nor Lutherans can profess to be
adherents Of any one of these sects and can
have their children educated in accord
ance Herewith but it is hardly probable
they will do so should the bill be-
come law, which is hardly within
the range of possibility. Its introduction
into the diet was due to Count Sedlitz Won
Trutzschler, who has continuously opposed
any modification in it. The chancellor
also heartily supported the measure, but
the other ministers opposed it. one even
going SO far rs to threaten to resign if the
bill was not modified. The emperor at
first refused to accede to any changes, but
finally agreed to such modification as
would bring other religious sects within
the provisions Of the bill, and it was said it
was this change of base by the Emperor
that caused Count Sedlitz Won Tratzschler
to resign. The education bill affects Prus-
sia alone and although Gen. Won Capriqi is
the Prussian prime minister, it will be an
unusual event if the chancellor resigns be-
cause in single state bill which bears
the unmistakable stamp of one minister
does not pass.
