ANOTHER MESSAGE.

The Dimculty with chilli Can Now he
Settled BY the Usual Methods with
ont Special Power.
WASHINGTON, January 29-President
Harrison to-day sent to congress the
additional correspondence in the Gillian
matter, including. the answer to the
ultimatum of the United STATES. dated
January 25. 1t was received at the
state department at 8 a. M, on the Goth.
The document is substantially the same
as announced this morning. The
Chilians make a complete apology. In
his special message the president says:
1.-THE response of Mr. Tareira, minister
of foreign affairs, ,a,to our note,
withdraws with aGeeptable express
sions of regret the offensive note of
Mr. Malta, and also the. request for the
recall of Minister EgaD. This and the
| friendly and concilIatory expressions in
regard to the assault on the sailors of
the Baltimore, lead me to the opinion
that there are good prospects that the
differences growing out of the affair
can now be settled by the usual methods
without special power from our con,
| gress. This turn in affairs is very graft
flying to me, as am sure it will be to
congress and our people.
THE general support of the efforts OF
the executive to enforce the just rights
of our nation, is an illustration of the
unity and patriotism of our people,"

A SYRIAN WEDDING.
The First That Has Been Witnessed In
America.

The First That Has Been witnessed in
America.
A Syrian wedding, the first of the
kind ever witnessed in this country, was
celebrated at St. Louis on q recent af-
ternoon, in accordance with the usages
that prevail in Syria. In America it
would be called q reception, but it
differed from the ordinary receptions in
that it was strictly for Syrians. The
groom was Kalel Wasoff and the bride
was Adlaid Milzen. After being mar
ried by Catholic priest at st. Mary's
church, the couple, in company with
about seventy-fve of their countrymen,
men and women, proceeded to celebrate
the event. There were beer, wine and
eatables in abundance. A part of the
programme was the spraying of per-
fuIne from cologne bottle over the
crowd, every newcomer getting sup
ply of the odors in the face. The ladies
present, of whom there was quite a
number, INDUCED in a doleful chant in
the Syrian language, which lasted for
a couple of hours. 1t was explained to
a reporter as being a method Of con-
graduating the bride in her new state.
The reception lasted until late in the
afternoon. Many of the participants
who came from a Syrian colony in the
neighborhood were unable to speak the
English language. All present seemed
to enjoy themselves.

"Mr Barnes of New York"
The dramatization of Archibald Claw
ering Gunter' 8 great book, 'Mr Barnes
of New York" was presented at the
opera house last night Oy company of
unusual merit. The play is one of in
tense interest and is entirely original IN
its construction. The scene is laid in
Corsica and England. 1t tells story of
the terrible vendetta, and of woman's
love and hate, in a manner that keeps
one breathless with suspense. Miss
May Wheeler, as Marina Paoli, was
simply perfection. Her every action
was beauty and grace and the intensity
of her hate, upon discovering the dead
body of her brother, was something at
once weird and grand. AT times she
reminded one of Rhea. Sheridan
Block, as Count Danella, seemed spec
tally qualified for the requirements of
the role, while Hugo Toland as Mr.
Barnes of New York, acted the part of
the large-hearted American, in an ex.
cellent manner. Miss Emma Field as
Enid and H. Coulter Brinker, as Edwin
Girard Anstruther, sustained their re-
spective parts to the complete satlsfac.
ton of everybody. The other char
acters also did well. In fact there was
no perceptible weakness. The play wa.
carefully staged.

DIR Wilbur Lectursd Yesterday After
noon to Ladies' Only and Last Night to
Men Only-The House Packed.
The audience which greeted DIR Will
bur at the auditorium last evening was
far beyond his most sanguine expecta-
tons. 1t was for men only and for an
hour he held the closest attention of his
auditors. No one could ask for a more
comprehensive account of anatomy
than that delivered by the doctor. He
took a manikin apart and explained all
about the organs of the human body.
First he gave the medical terms, then
the English. His lecture was inter
spersed with many funny narratives,
which greatly pleased the audience.
The doctor says it was one of the most
representative audiences he has lectured
before in some time. AS usual his dog.

were the kind words heard for the doc

ANOTHER BLIZZARD.
Weather Prophet johnson Sound
Note of Warning.

Weather Prophet johnson Sounds a
Note of Warning.
Most everybody has heard of Weather
Prophet Horace johnson, of Middle
Haddam, who lives in the southern
portion of the Connecticut valley.
Weather Prophet johnson was In
Middletown, Wednesday, and he
mapped out the outlines of great
storm. He said: We are going to have
cold wave, and that will be followed
by the greatest snowfall of the season.
He said it would end in a blizzard that
would block all modes of travel, similar
in many respects to the blizzard OF
March 18th, 1888. According to MI
Johnson's version, the blizzard will
reach this section tonight. 1t will be
remembered that johnson claims to
have predictel the great blizzard Of
1888, and, therefore, he has many fol
lowers, people who believe in his pre-
dictions. All that remains to do is tC
watch and wait and see if the predic
tiOn proves true.

STILL LIVES.

Your correspondent asked the question
to-day what had become Of the once much
talked of Southern Inter State lmmigra-
ton association, aud was told that it still
existed, though nothing is heard of it.
1t was said further that IL is securing
some immigrants, and that a few were
coming to this state. But if this is so, it
is news to your correspondent. The state
immigration matters are in the hands of
the commissioner of agriculture.
The above is from the Raleigh letter
in the Wilmington Messenger. 1t is
gratifying to know that the Interstate
immigration society still lives. 1t is
also pleasant to know that the lmposi-
ton has closed.
1t is to be hoped that the concern will
not attempt any more burlesques this fall
or winter.

NO DIFFERENCE.

WESTMINSTER, Md, May 28.-In the
general conference of the Methodist Pro-
testant church to-day another phase of
the woman question cropped out. 1t was
the action of the conference in striking
out the word "obey" from the marriage
service.
The matter came up in the consi iera-
ton of the report of the committee on
ritual. The discussion occupied nearly
the whole of the afternoon. The Rev. j.
w. Thompson, in moving that the word
"obey'' be stricken from the service, said
he was willing to let it remain if it be
placed in the service again so as to require
the man to obey his wife, as we'll as to
honor and comfort and keep her. The
vote was 80 to 26 in favor of striking out
the word. The women delegates voted
for it.
The above dispatch is not important.
No woman is fool enough to obey her
husband if he makes unreasonable de-
mands. Every true wife is good enough
to obey her husband if his requests are
reasonable.
The mere promise to obey is an old
form and practically obsolete.
Men who have had their heads tied up
to reduce the unnatural size of their
heads, the same being caused by the col
lision of a rolling pin, a fiat iron or a
broom stick, know this to be true.
So the conference just wasted time and
that was all.
