people, darting hither and thither and
making the air ring with their shouts

placed at intervals on the boarders of the
lakes were lighted and roared and smoked
i'm the frosty breeze, sending out sparks
and heat TO warm the frozen toes and frost
nipped ears. The young ladies were there
In all their glory, and as they darted
swiftly by on the silently moving "steels"
their faces were flushed with the rich,
warm blood stirred into a torrent by the
energy of the occasion.

everywhere attending to the numerous
wants OF the skaters The cars made fire.

ROME, Jan 27.-It is learned from Vati-
can sources that few days ago Cardinal
Serafino Vannutelli had long interview
with the Pope on the subject Of recon
ciliation between the Holy See and Italy.
The interview was prompted by the En-
peror of Austria, who is personally in
terested In the matter. Austria, it is
understood, asks Of the Pope the partici-
patton of Catholics in the Italian Parlia-
mentary elections, and modification OF
the present favorable attitude OF the Holy
See toward France.
In return for this Austria wants italy
To change her inimical attitude toward
the Vatican TO one Of more friendly char
acter and to put an end TO the religious
prosecutions of the Catholics.
Austria has a triple end in view-to save
the triple alliance from discredit i'm the
Catholic world, TO prevent the Vatican
going over to the side Of France and TO
arrest the radical movement in Italy,
which might in time threaten the position
of the monarchy.
The Italian court and government have
signified their approval OF rdpproche-
nleat on the lines laid down.
ported by Germany, will endeavor TO
bring about the election of Cardinal Sera
fine Vannutelli as Leo Kills successor TO
the Pontiiical throne, while Mgr. Calm
berti would be his Secretary of State.
Ii is believed that the Pope will not
yield TO the demands of Austria and Italy,
but will not yield To the demands of Aus
tria and Italy but will continue TO main-
tain his attitude of reserve.

As viewed in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2T.-No one who is
in position to know will discuss the re
ply which Chile has made to the United
States "ultimatum." The fact however
that there is no reference to an apology
for the assault upon the Baltimore
sailors is sufficient to account for the dis
satisfaction of officials with its terms. AS
to the Malta note the offer of Chile is be
lieved to be fully up to the demand made
by the note of the 2lst inst. TO Minister
Egan. The matter of the latter's recall
is believed TO have been sufficiently settled
by the terms OF that note. and, therefore,
no reference to it in the reply was neces-
sary.
The proposition of Chile to throw the
whole thing into the Supreme Court for
arbitration is variously viewed. BY some
il is thought to be declaration by Chile
of full confidence i'm the justice and right
of her cause confidence so great and
implicit that she is willing to make a
creature of the other party sole judge OF
its merits
Others, however, think it is, in common
parlance, bluff and that Chile is not
honest or sincere in her professions. IL is
recited that Chile knows how the juris-
diction and powers of the Supreme Court
are restricted and limited by the Consti-
tuition, and that she made the offer know
ing that it could not be entertained.

visit other parties in different localities,
show these forged certificates and induce
their victims To join, holding out as in.

who would pay the membership fee. Brad

ofiice-holder at the Manhattan Club re-
ception to David B. Hill. last evening, as
he surveyed the magnificent appoint

by many hundred gas burners and incan-
descent lights, and enlivened by the pres
ence of 900 guests.
There are ! 200 members of the Manhat-
tan Club, of whom IL has been estimated
800 are friends of ex-President Cleveland,
but IL the work of proselyting on the part
of Hills emissaries goes on as IL seemed to
be going last night, it is possible that the
boast OF the Tammany man may be real
lied. II poor Mr.. Cleveland had been
present at that big gathering, his heart
would have been panied TO see many VINO
have been classed as staunch supporters
bowling the knee before the new idol.
Mr. Hill looked pale and CT JGTerous, as
men are said TO look who are engaged in
unlawful and wicked acts. The band was
playing sprightly music and many hands
were reached out TO greet him, but the
"whited sepulchre appearance Which
pervaded hts CHASTITY face.
He was repenting possibly, though not
probably, of his work OF the afternoon,
when he turned deaf ear TO the protesta-
tions, tears and wailing Of the Cleveland

Plimsou and Poor Jack.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Samuel Plimsoll,
who appeared before the Royal Labor
Commission yesterday, declared that the
rations furnished sailors on British YES
sells were sometimes absolutely unfit for
food.
In speaking of the deaths of British
sailors caused by the risks of their pro-
fession Mr.. Plimsoil said that the NOR
tality in British ships was four times as
great as in foreign ships. This fact, he
declared, was due TO the deckloads car
ried by British vessels.
He urged that the carrying Of deckloads
in the Atlantic trade be prohibited by law.
