to say there we're about ninety pres

large house beautifully arranged fol
the occasion. The host received
several beautiful presents. There
we're various forms Of entertainment,
but music was the chief charm
Everyone was especially glad wher
the time came to partake Of the de-
licious refreshments our hostess had
prepared. When all had partcker
OF the feast they assembled in thu
drawing-room, as many as could
and after a few more songs in praise
to our Lord, who brought Us togeth

by Rev. Bean. A few more song
we're sung, and at the midnight hou
we parted to 60 to our several homes
II was indeed joyful time, ever,

Daniel Webster:
IL am clearly Of the opinion that
neither Congress ncr any other au.
thority can legally demonetize either
silver OF gold. II one coin can be
iethroned as money then the other
one can be, and thus the constitu-
ton could be disregarded, yes, over
thrown. The command to Con-
gress is to coin money, not to de-
stroy it; to create legal tender mon
ey, for the use Of The People, and
the grant of authority to create
money cannot be construed to mean
authority TO destroy money"

l would recommend TO Congress an
appropriation for its payment. l now
strongly urge upon Congress the prop
riety OF making such an appropriation.
II should be remembered that the
measures taken were dictated not only
by sympathy and humanity, but by a
conviction that it was not compatible
with the dignity Of this government
that so large q body of our dependent
citizens should be thrown for relief
upon the charity Of a neighboring
State.
Correspondence is on foot touching
the practice of Russian consuls within
the Jurisdiction Of the United States
to inteTrogate citizens as to their race
and religious faith, and upon ascer-
tainment thereof TO deny to Jews au-
thentication Of passports or legal docu-
ments for use in Russia. Inasmuch as
such proceeding imposes a disability,
which in the case Of succession to prop
eTty in Russia may be found to infringe
the treaty rights Of our citizens, and
which is On obnoxious invasion of our
territorial jurisdiction, it has ELECTED
fitting remonstrance, the result Of
which it is hoped will remove the cause
Of complaint.
The pending claims of sealing yes
sells Of the United States seized in Rus
sian waters remain unadjusted.
OUR RECENT CONVENTION
with Russia establishing a modus
vivendi as to imperial jurisdiction in
such cases, has prevented further diff
Guilty of this nature.
The Russian government has well
coined in principle our suggestion for
a modus vivendi, to embrace Great
Britain and Japan, looking to the bet
ter preservation Of seal life in the
North Pacific and Behring Sea, and the
extension Of the protected area defined
by the Paris tribunal to all Pacific wat
ers north of the thirty-ffth parallel
1t is especially noticeable that Russia
fayors prohibition of the use of fire
arms in seal hunting throughout the
proposed area and a longer closed
season for pelagic sealing.
IN my last two annual messages J
called the attention Of the Congress to
the position we occupied as one of the
parties to treaty or agreement by
which we became Jointly bound with
England and Germany to so interfere
with the government and control of
Samoa as in effect to assume the man
agement of its affairs.
Our situation in this matter was in
consistent with the mission and tradi-
tiOus Of orr government and in all ite
phases mischievoUs and yexatious. I
again press this subject upon the az
tention of Congress.

 Amos Mortimer Kept in Charge of a
 Keeper.
 Amos Mortimer, the secretary of the International Building and Loan asso- citation, who was arrested Wednesday by the United States authorities, charg- ed with using the mails for fraudulent purposes stayed at the Tontine hotel Wednesday night in charge of w. 10. Hosmer, who was secured as a keeper. He was doing business at his office in the Hoadley building yesterday, his keeper being with him everywhere he went. He paid a bill to Clarence Ryder amounting to $500 for printing for the concern. Mortimer had a balance of S420 in the Mechanics bank and Ryder placed an attachment oA the deposit.
 There Is reason to believe that there is such a man as T. c. Jones, the alleg ed president of the concern, and that he lives at Bethel, Conn, and owns a portion of a railroad running from Jonesburgh to Hudson in New York state.
 It was ascertained yesterday that the institution is registered in number of states, including Pennsylvania and oth- CT states west and south.
 The New York World of yesterday morning contained an account of Nor timers career at Mount Vernon, AN. Y. He supported a fashionable establish ment, which afterwards burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances His furniture was heavily insured and the police advised the insurance com panies not to pay the claims, owing to these suspicious circumstances.
 Mortimer is held for preliminary hearing before Commissioner Wright at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. No fur ther effort will be made to secure bail.

Superior COurt-oiviI side-Judge S. O

Superior COurt-CiviI Side-Judge S. O. Prentice.
 George M. Allen, the defendant on the
 divorce case brought by Emma L. Allen,
 the elocutionist, testified in his own be-
 half in this court yesterday.
 MT. Allen simply contests his wife's application, but does not ask for a. di- vorce himself. He set up defense al- leging infidelity on the part of his wife, and told a very straightforward story of what he stated that he had actually seen.
 He swore that shortly before they moved from Grown street he always found Knight sitting with his wife when he came home from work. He did not suspect his wife of anything wrong, he said, but considered it pe- culiar that Knight should stay in every night, When they moved to Dwight
 street Knight continued to room with them. Soon after they moved there.
 Allen said, frequently when he came home from work nights Knight and his wife would be sitting in the front parlor with the portieres drawn and the lights turned low.
 On the night of January 5, 1893, wit ness said that his suspicious were
 aroused by his wife's conduct, and he
 watched her. About 12 o'clock she
 went into a room which opened into
 the room occupied by Knight and lock-
 ed the door. There was a panel in the
 door which had wide crack in it and
 through it he saw that his wife was not in the room. He also could see that the door to Knights room from the room which his wife went into was open. He sat down and waited until almost o'clock outside the door of
 Knights room. Then he broke in and found his wife and Knight. Allen said he reprimanded his wife in the strong est terms and told Knight that if he did not leave the house by o'clock the next morning he would break every bone in his body. Witness said his brother who was rooming with him at the time, heard the disturbance up- stairs and came up in time to see things as they were After his discovery Al len said he and his wife went down stairs and talked until o'clock In the morning. Then she told him that she had begun divorce proceedings against him. The next morning Knight moved out of the house and on January F his wife left him, taking the child with her Witness stated that Knight attempted to explain the presence of Mrs. Allen in his room, but he refused to hear him and told him he would like to throw him out of doors.
 When Allen finished his story the de- fense rested and the rebuttal was be- gun. Knight was recalled and denied Aliens statements about his wifes mis- conduct. He explained Mrs. Aliens presence in his room on the night re- ferred to by saying he was sick and that Mrs. Allen came into his room to give him some medicine. He denied emphat- ically any wrong doing.
 The arguments were heard late yes terday afternoon, Attorney T, H. Rus sell speaking for the defendant and Att torney Hamilton for the plaintiff Judge Prentice reserved his decision and the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this
