Coming Events at County Court House.

There was no:business in either division
of the Supreme Court today on account of
the day being legal holiday. The mo-
tion calendar in the common pleas di-
vision will be in order on Monday next
and a number Of important matters are
to be disposed of on that day.
Next week the members of the grand
Jury, which is to meet on Monday, March
2, will be summoned, and this may be a
notable meeting of the grand inquest OF
the county, as this body Is properly des-
ignated, because the representation of the
municipality OF Providence thereon will
be larger than it has been recently and
because the Attorney General may take
advantage of the law recently passed by
the General Assembly and have the num-
Der of.members of the jury increased from
ID to %.
With one notable exception the num-
Der of members of the grand jury in this
county has been 10, but the States law
officer recently induced the Legislature to
place the matter within the discretion OF
the incumbent Of that Office.
The second week in March the docket
of uncontested petitions for divorce will
be in order i'm the appellate division.
No action has yet been taken on the pc
titions of Keegan or Dalton, for new
trials. The John Nelson case also remains
ndepided

She Was the Star.

There are many stories told of the
brusaueness or irritaDility Of Mr.. Richard
Mansfield that have had their beginning
a good deal this side of Mr.. Mansfield, and
which were e.ahcrated and touched up
with additions and concentrations as
they were kindly passed along from one
to another. Suppose, Tor change, they
shove this one along on the same pleasant
route:
Mr.. Mansfield recently PLAYED an engage
ment at Elmira. This is the home Of Miss
Jennie Eustace, who plays leading roles i'm
MIR. Mansfeld's plays. She was n teacher
i'm the high school there prior to going
on the stage. he theater was packed,
and Mr.. Mansfield not only permitted
Miss Eustace TO receive wealth of floral
tributes from her friends over the foot
lights, hut insisted on her taking all the
"calls, +" with the remark, "You are the
star tonight" THIS, perhsps, seems only
proper courtesy under the circumstances.

FIREMEN ON THE JUMP.
Had Seven Little Blazes Yesterday AZ
ternOOn.

The members of the fire department
were kept on the Jump yesterday after
noon and evening in responding to alarms,
there being no less than five bell and two
still alarms, none OF which was of any
consequence. At O'Clock box 1877 was
sounded for fire on the roof OF Joseph
Halloid's house, 10 Webster court. The
next alarm was from box 249 for fire in
the rear of the McWilliams Machine Com
pany at 237 Eddy street. Then Alb came
in for chimney fire in the residence OF
G. s. Sweetland's house, los Waterman
street, which was followed by an alarm
from box 81 for fire in new house on
Beacon avenue and the last was from
box 21, but the firemen could not find
any fire.
At 10 o'clock engine company 5 were
called to put out a chimney fire at II
Euclid avenue, and at 5:45 hose 8 worked
for few moments putting out fire in
the residence of DR.. Kennon, 33 Broad

leading men on the legitimate stage. The
consequence Is that legitimate performers
having been falling all over each other
TO get into the business. Yet some OF

have found that entertaining an
audience for twenty minutes at a stretch
was not such an easy matter as they

been surprising and colossal.
The result is that many who have

His Excellency.

Next Thursday night at the Providence
Opera House the theater-going public Of
Providence will have an opportunity of
seeing another English operatic success
In "His Excellency,n which will lie pro-
duced for the hrst time in this city by
George Edwardes' Lyric Theaier Company
of London, which has Just closed a sue
Broadway Thtater in New York City, un-
der the management OF Al Hayman and
Charles Frohman. This opera lays claim
to special consideration on the ground
that the libretto was written by the ia
nous Gilbert OF "PiBafore, and "Mi-
kado" fame. From time to time during
the past season, items from the English
press have found their way across the At
lantic, which spoke in complimentary
terms of the opera and of the company
producing IL. The music, too, Is said to
be of very agreeable kind end well suit
ed TO the Gilbertian libretto. The scenic
equipment has not been extrayagantly
praised, but we may expect series Of
pretty and refreshing Stage pictures. The
story told in the llbretto is OF the usual
comic opera sort and we all know what
Gilbert il capable of doing with such ma
terra. His satirical lyrics IN the present
work are said 10 be especially funny, and
we have heard Of the wonderful way i'm
which his humor aroused the mirth OF
the stolid Britons Heretofore be has
been equally felicitous, whether his audi
ence was British or American, and il ls
expected that bright, Jolly evening may
be anticipated on the strength OF the IL

ENGLAND's BLUE book.
The st. james Gazette DIssects the
Chronicles Articles.

London March 12.-The St. James Ga
zette dissects the article published in the
Daily Chronicle, attacking the Vene-
zuelan blue book and declares it to be a
tissue of perversions and mares-nests,"
and altogether a hasty attempt on the
part of the radicals to discredlt the Brit
ish case. In the course OF It's article the
Gazette admits, however, that the enron
icle proves that there have been certain
loose, careless and misleading transla-
tions introduced into the blue book, and
gives as an instance the dispatch which
was sent home TO the Centurion in April,
no. which, in effect shows that the
Dutch did not hold anything on the
Cuyunini except a settlement at the
mouth of that river where it joins the
Essequibo.
ing that the compilers of the blue book
in the foreign Office certainly owe to the
public an explanation.
In reply to a question on the subject, Mr..
George n. CurZon, parliamentary secre-
tary Of the foreign office, stated that the
government had no information that set
tlement of the Venezuelan difficulty had
been effected.
Despite Mr.. Curzon's statement a report
is credited in ministerial circles that Prime
Minister Salisbury has assented to the the
sion that will be authorized to settle the
dispute.
The Morning Post will, in it's issue to-
morrow crticise what 1t terms the Vehe-
ment partsanship of the Chronicle in at
tacking the British case. 1t will accuse
the Chronicle of careless statements ana
irrelevant declamations. and will say IL
has evidently neglected to read the treaty
of Munster. Happily, the Post adds, there
are many indications that the Chronicles
attacks find faint response in the United
States.
The Chronicle will tomorrow publish
last of it's series of articles attacking the
British case in the Venezuelan dispute. In
instancing the inaccuracy of the blue
book ii says that if the object had been to
prove the justice of Lord Salisbury's re-
fusal to arbitrate the compilation 1t had
doubtless fully answered its purpose, but
such distortion of evidence as has been
pointed out in the articles is utterly un-
worthy of the occasion or the subject.
The Daily News commenting on the
points made by the Chronicle against the
British case viii say that the minor slips
are unfortunate and certainly require ex-
PLANTATION, though they do not impair the
cogency Of the case. The paper defends
the impartiality and honesty of the COM
pliers, and instances the inclusion of dis
patches in which passages can be selected
that are apparently damaging TO Great
Britain. 1t condemns the suggestion of In
ternational garbing as atrocious The
immense bulk of the Spanish manuscripts
IL says, prevented their being published in
full but their translation progresses.
Nothing will be withheld that is necessary
to clear all points.

the Italian forces in Africa, In an inter-
view at Massowah on his reasons for at
tacking the Abyssnians at Adowa,
said that information he had received lea
him to believe that it would be easy to oc-
cupy the position he assailed. He reck-
oned that the force of Abyssinians would
retreat. Instead Of doing so they had in
flicted a defeat on the Italian army and
he was ready to submit TO the conse-
qucnces. The Tribuna publishes an inter-
view with Gen. Barafieri, In which he
denies that the government urged him
to attack the Abyssinians. but he adds
that all his generals favored the maxi
ing of the attack. A victory for the
Italians was partially won and was vir-
tually assured, when the native battalions
became panic-stricken and this produced
disorder among the Italian troops. Gen.
Baratieri declares that he has nothing to
reproach himself for. but confesses that
in moment of madness after his de-
feat he was on the verge OF committing
suicide. He remembered, however, the
piety of his family and wished to spare
them such a shame.
