NEWS FROM ArAR.-Just as the
STANDARD was ready to go to press,
to-day, our resident astronomer came
10 with tidings which he had received
about sixteen minutes before from q
distance of 81, 500, 900 miles. In other
words, he reported the existence of a
large dark spot on the southern limb
of the sun, OF diameter more than
twice that Of the earth, or about 49,
600 miles.
A VETERAN.-Mr. H. L. Alden, a
soldier who belonged to the Eighth
Iowa Regiment Of Iowa Volunteer In
fantry, exhibited in the STANDARD OF.
fee to-day, a faded pink badge, pinned
to the lapel of his coat replete with
historic lore. While returning to his
home on furlough, passes we're dis
tributed to the members of his regi-
ment as they entered St. Louis to give
them the freedom of the city. This

FAUST AT OLYMPIA THEATER.-The
rendition of Gothe's immortal crea-
ton Fsast," last evening, was fully
up to the promises made that it would
rival any spectacular production that
has appeared this or any other season.
The leading parts Mephisto," sus.
tanned by John Griffith, and Marguer-
tie, by Olive Martin. were specially
worthy of commentator. The
scenic effects were of the highest or.
der, and the performance was worthy
of much more liberal patronage
than it received. Very few of the
"old soldiers" were present, and the
patrons were mainly the regular
theater-goers OF the city.

NIoARAeuA,s CANAL.
Two of the Committee Go to London to
Raise Funds.


New York, July 25-James r. Bartlett,
chairman of the Nicaragua canal reorgan-
ization committee, and Smith NJ. Weed, a
member of the committee, sailed this
morning on the steamer Teutonic for Lon
don. They go at the invitation of a cote
rie of English capitalists, who have Of
fered to furnish the money to complete
the canal. For some weeks the offer Of
the foreigners has been under cOnsidera-
tion. 1t had been hoped up to few weeks
ago that the money to carry on the work
could be raised in this country. A num-
Der of gentlemen, it is said, offered
to come to the front with the
amount necessary, but they failed to
make good their promise. The last hope
of the committee was, in consequence,
gone, and they decides1 to see what there
was in the offer of the London people.
Messrs. Bartlett and Weed go authorized
by the committee to take any action they
see fit, The capital required is about
$50. 600, 090 At Mr.. Bartlett's office this
afternoon it was stated by A. p. Fisher,
who represents Mr.. Bartlett during the
latter's absence, that while he could not
give the figures contained in the offer
from London the offer was very
were unanimously in favor of it's accept
ance. AS he understood it, he said, the
scheme was not to sell the canal, but
merely to raise in England money that
could not be secured here.
A short time ago the Nicaraguan gov
ernment announced that it withdrew all
opposition to the canal company and that
it recognized the validity of the conces-
Slons granted to the American company.

Several Bills Relating to Invalid Pen.

sions Passed.
Washington, July 25.-This day was set
apart by the House committee on rules
for the consideration of measures reported
from the committee on invalid pensions.
and Chairman Martin succeeded in hav-
ing passed three bills of general nature.
These were House bills to amend the gen
eral act of June 81, 1890, by providing
pensions for widows and orphans of
soldiers who died or were killed in the
discharge of their duty and who did not,
therefore, receive discharges from the
service; authorizing fourth-class post
masters to administer oaths to pension
ers to extend during the term of their
natural lives the pensions granted to in
sane, ldiotic or otherwise permanently
helpless orphan children of a deceased
soldier
The Senate bill to pension Frances
Corse, widow of the late Gen. John M
Corse at the rate of 800 a month was
also passed
The conference report on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
was submitted by Mr.. Dockery. dem, of
Missouri, and after an hours desultOry
debate, was agreed TO. The bill carries a
total appropriation of S2l ,30S, ,29a, being a
decrease of S557 ,5O7 from the bill for the
year ended June 30, 1894.
Speaker Crisp laid before the House
the letter of the French minister of
foreign affairs announcing the fact that
he had presented to the Chamber of
Deputies the resolutions of congress on
the death of President Carnot, and ex-
pressing the thanks of the French gov
ernment for the sympathy of the United
States with France in her grief.

was news TO him He did not want to
defeat the bill he said; he was earnestly
in favor Of passing bill as soon as possi-
ole and ending the trouble and giving the
country rest and quiet. He said that he
would take the matter under careful ad-
visement and would decide it in his own
mind in the morning.
A senator who described the situation
said that Senator Villas manner, and the
way he spoke, indicated that he was i'm
pressed with the statements that had
been made, and knew that if he pressed
his motion he was opening the door for
defeat. This senator said that the i'm
preston of the rest of the caucus was
that Senator Villas would confer with the
President and be guided by what he ad-
vised
ORDERED BACK To CONFERENCE.
Then, by unanimous consent. the reso-
luton that the bill be sent back TO con-
ference without instructions was agreed
to, and the caucus adjourned.
IL is the programme TO have this done
tomorrow. A prominent senator who
took an active part in to-day's caucus
said tonight that the result meant the
Senate bill. The sugar schedule may be
changed in its language so as TO make the

Sc nator George Makes A Request
Under Misapprehension.

Washington, July Ex-senator George
of Mississippi has asked that the suit
anent the legality of the Mississippi state
warrants be instituted in Mississippi in
stead of St. Louis, Mo. In asking this
Senator George has, it is said, misunder
stood that the government has directed
that a suit be instituted against the bank
note company that printed the warrants
for the state of Mississippi, and not
against the state, leaving the bank note
company. if the suit goes against it, its
re ne6y of suing the state of Mississippi for
damages sustained by il in carrying out
its contract with the state of Mississippi.
In the meantime it is understood that
the Objectionable warrants, having sim
iltude to United States money, are to be
retired, and warrants substituted which
will not be open to this objection. Evil
dence is said to be in the hands of the
Treasury officers that the warrants have
passed current as money, and that in is
suing them it was the purpose to have
them pass from hand to hand as money.
