OPERA SINGERS HUFFY.
DarcIee and Demarchi Jump MapIeson
and Go Home.

New York, Nov. 15.-Madam Darclee
and Signor Demarchi, members Of Col.
MapelsonS Imperial opera Company,
this evening gave out statement that
lowing 10 violation OF contract and in
ability of Col. Mapieson to pay, they lad
severed tn cir conn ectiOn with the I'M
perial opera Company and return to
Europe Saturday.
Col Mapleson, late tonight, said:
The new Imperial opera Company does
not owe either Nine. Darclee OF Signor
DenaIc,i one cent. On the contrary she
has El 900 Of our money, while lie has
$500 more. This money was paid them
by the directors as an advance.
The understanding was that tncy were
TO sing until that money had been earned,
when We were TO advance similar sums.
NINE. Darclee has sung but twice and,
despite the advance money she held, at
noon the day She appeared We received u
demand for ego from her, and one hun
dred and eighty from him. This we paid
rather than have a discussion. When she
sang the second time, n similar demand for
the ego pounds was made and paid again.
Now, the wliulc trouble Is here. AC-
cording to the terms OF our contract, Nine.
Darclee was to sing forty times during
the season. and she was to be paid 81 200
for each performance.

gave her the part again, and found, much
to my infinite regret that she could not
draw. As she was too high priced an
artist to play without large returns, de-
cided to hold her for other cities, where
she might be a favorite.
ITO this she demurred, saying she should
have the nine performances each month Us
agreed upon. 1 expected to give her, and
Would be compelled to do so by the terms
of our contract, the forty performances dur
ing the season. She, no doubt, felt dis
satisfied because she had not met with
better reception here, and naturally was a
trifle piqued.
THE same state of affairs existed in re-
gard to the Signor. Then they made us a
proposition to return to Europe and termin-
ate the contract. Our attorney, in turD>fold
them what the directors would do IN regard
to terminating their contract. The offer
was refused. We have had trouble with
these two artists only. All of the others
have been promptly paid, and are satisfied.
You may say said the colonel in con-
clusion, that we have not in any manner
violated cur part of the contract"

few silver mine owners OF the West Will
resent raVner Inan ouey tine demands or
an enormous majority OF the people OF the
United States that the greatest good shall
be the rule of their action rather than the
selfish greed of less than fifty soulless COR
pOrations of the Rocky Mountains. Hence
these men who have no IUtIre in the Re
publican party will resist all attempts to
relieve the Treasury by any legislation
th''t does not recos l~e the p..r;,tnount Inter
est of the silver mime owners.
The Republicans OF Congress will not
submit to that ana they have Dehnd them
the overwhelming support of the American
people. Consequently no good can come
oI the last session OF The FiIty-fourth Con-
gress''
Il do believe that the Republican party
will be in a position in the Fifty-fiIth
Congress to save the country from bank
rup;cy and the Industries of the country
from destruction. The line OF action Is
a matter which will have to be considered
carefully in the future.
1.-The confidence OF the American people
in the patriotism and wisdom OF the Re
publican party has been now emphatcally
repeated and declared. Any attempt by
Combination in the Senate or the House TO
impede the carrying into law the will OF
the people will destroy the men who at
tempt it. They Will be run over and
crushed'
REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES A. RUS
SELL of Connecticut, member OF the
Committee on Ways and Means, says: THE
patriotic and business-like duty of the com
ing session of Congress tthe last session of
the Fifty fourth Congress) is to provide
revenue for the needs OF the government.
That should be done by proper and rea-
sonahle increase of customs duties. 1t
could be affected by the adoption Of the
revenue measure tDngley bill, which the
House passed at the last session; or some
measure on the same lines.
We have gone through successfully an
election where partisanship was put aside,
and now Congress should put aside its
partisanship in providing for the necessi-
ties OF the government, and do 1t ini-
Inediately. If this can be done business
VIII be further benefited and possibly an
extra session of the new Congress will be
unnecessary"
REPRESENTATIVE STEELE of IN
DIANA expresses his opinion as follows:
Il hope that the Senate will Row agree
to the bill TO provide temporary relief
for the government and meet the deficiency
in the revenue, and one providing for ad'
vertising the sale of bonds, and providing
from the Committee on Ways and Means
and passed the House last December.
\ Both were, in my estimation, reason
able, judicious measures, and If the Senate
should agree to them il would put US in
such shape as to obviate an extra ses-
sion of Congress"

Difficulty Experienced in Hauling
Large Block of Marble.

Bellows Falls, VT, Nov. 15.-Much in
convenience is experienced in finding
railroad route to New Orleans along which
the covered bridges are high enough to
permit the passage of the largest block
OF granite ever quarried in Vermont.

feet thick. 1t is intended for the noted
Moriarty monument in that city. 1t was
auarried in Barre and has been moved to

exceeds fifty tons.

bridges too low for the block to pass
through.
