German had Blackburn read an ex-
tract from Washington's farewell adj
dress about the 'encroachmeht of an
executive on the powers of Congress
as subversive of the principles of the
Republic.
~the liberty of the Senate had been
invaded" he said in thurderous tones,
though thousand hirelings write us
down and traduce U.S."
German denied that the Democratic
platform demanded that coal and iron
should go on the free list. Cleve-
landd's letter of acceptance declared
specifically against the destruction of
any industry and in favor of free raw
materials" That letter turned the
tide and elected him.

ConEressionsl:

IL UAo ocHdLo over the conference re-
port on the tariff bill was resumed to-
day. Senator German had a short
interview with the President before
the Senate met.
After few preiminaries, German
addressed the Senate, speaking from
carefully prepared notes. After re-
viewing the condition in the Senate,
which made compromise necessary,
he delivered his defiance in dramatic
tones. @The infamous calumnies
heaped on the head of the Senate
forced from his lips" he said, @the
plain, unvarnished statement, and he
would make it, with malice towards
none, but he would look his col
eagues and the American people in the
eye and tel the truth.
aIn patriotism a Democratic Sen
ator had gone to work to save the
country and continue the party in
power when suddenly in the midst of
the struggle came the Presidents
letter. 1t was a most uncalled for,
most extraordinary and most unwise
communication" said German in bit
ter tones, "that ever came from the
President Of the United States. 1t
placed this body in position where
Its members must see to it, that the
dignity and honor of this chamber be
preserved. 1t places me in the posi-
ton where I must tell the story as it
occurred"
German then detailed the manner
in which the Senate bill was prepared
to meet the objections of certain
Democratic Senators and drew from
his desk and read an interview with
Secretary Carlisle on April Both, in
which the Secretary gave the bill his
sweeping endorsement. He said that
interview had helped the Democrats
to get together and made it possible
to pass the bill.
In response to an appeal from Cor
man, Jones, of Arkansas, related a
conversation which he had with Pres
ident Cleveland in which the Presi-
| dent told him he would favor almost
any compromise to secure the passage
Of the bill. Harris corroberated Jones
as to the statement made by the
President.
German resumed with one of the
most sensational references of the day
bespoke of the deep regret with which
he was compelled to ask the public
testimony of these Senators, but the
limit of endurance had been reached
The Senate had been traduced. Ar
attempt had been made to try and

These charges had been "foully" made
from distinguished sources" and mus
be met and refuted. The charges
were echoed by men who chirpeC
when he talked. The Senators VIII,
had been traduced had fought 70

places would not show their heads
German said he could conceive of NJ
reason for the remarkable action takel
unless perhaps the one responsible 70
it was consumed by vanity in hav
ing the country regard him as tn,
authority of all that was right in tar
iff reform.
AS German made each reference t.
the President there was commOtiol
in the galleries, which compelled tn
presiding officer to impose constan
cautions against further demonstrs
tions.
German next turned his attention t

rose TO the occasion and applauded the
scene over and over again. That such an
ensemble as this wa5 wrought from
material almost unknown TO the stage
in a few days seemed beyond belief.
When Miss Avis Chapman's voice ceased
in song and the grand review was finish
ed, there came an encore that made the
theater tremble and again the stage was
filled with dancers eager TO satisfy the
desire of houseful OF friends and ad-
mirers.
After this came national dances be-
ginning with the "Harvest." Twenty
four masters and misses bearing
wreaths and wands OF flowers, and
dressed as German villagers, circled
about the spacious stage with the free
dom and ease of veterans. II was evident
now that there was to be no diminu-
tion of interest or completeness
OF detail in any part OF the
great spectacle. One group was as
well drilled and accomplished as the other,

hastily tied. One young girl whose black
stockined limbs are bound around with
bright ribbons is having an exasperating
time. The ribbon Is loosened aud is
gathered about her ankle. Somebody helps
her to adjust it picturesquely. Fancy

bells preparatory to the opening act, the
curtain rises, lights are lighted, calciums

movement was succeeded by tableau

than different nations. They represented
different localities and peoples, different

when the Kirmess was projected as an aid

in the Nursery and some

Well, there were great times last night
before the curtain went up. Chief OF the
stage force, William +. Doolen, ha d set up
the scenery, Felix Wendelschaefer's or
chestra had been playing the score for
rehearsals all the. afternoon, and
were in a great ferment pending
the presentation OF Act i. Miss Eager,
who in an astonishing short space of time
had assembled together all these young
people and had made OF them
we'll organized and disci-
plined body capable OF giving an
entertainment of extraordinary merit, was
on the stage giving her last commands.
She was costumed in a dress of black lace
nd she looked as II she knew exactly
what she was about.
The stage was filed up with the young
performers. The wings were packed with
them. Everybody was on hand except
the court dancers, who were understood
to be robing i'm the Narragansett Hotel.
The Indians, too, it was reported, had
donned their war paint before coming to
the theater. One of them came down on
a trolley car and he looked SO ferocious
that the conductor didn't dare collect fare.

1t was a plaintive voice and the owner
showed a pathetic face from under a
Swedish cap. The heel referred to was
red and the rest of the shoe was black.
The heel had become detached from the
shoe and it was hopeless case. So the
fair dancer had TO borrow a pair for her

an unfinished state and wanting to be

jams that blocked the way. "Who's

and frequent inquiry. The men

gree OF interest taken in particular move
ment and dance.
Perhaps the Russian military dance by 10
adult performers, which followed, claimed
as much critical attention as any except
the court quadrille. The young men in
Russian military uniform and the young
women in holiday attire executed several
intricate figures and graceful evolutions
that made pretty groups and tableaux.
The Egyptian Gym bal dance by "a young
misses made hit in one particular way.
IT had unique effect by its wavy, creepy
up and down unison movement that
created sensation. III was remarkably
well done, for the effect could have been
marred beyond relief had the young
ladies broke the uniformity of the action.
Miss Marian Hazard and Charles Nc
Kinney a. the bride and bridegroom were
followed by % young masters and misses
in the Swedish wedding dance. This
was charming exhibition. The jingliug
swinging movements were executed with
spirit and abandon making a kaleido-
scopic picture of beauty and freedom.
