The French government has de-
cided to devote the Pavilion de Flore,
the only part of the Tuileries that es-
capped the fury of the commune in
May, 1871, to the reception Of royal
personages during the exhibition of
1900. 1t is probable that the building
will be reserved for similar proposes
after that period. There is ample
accommodations for visitors and
their suites, but the internal arrange
ments are not adapted to modern
requirements, and the Tuileries was
never a comfortable place for resi-
dence in it's best days. At present
the apartments are occupied by the
ministry Of the colonies, which win
have to be lodged elsewhere.-Pall

PRETTY MISS DUER
CHARMING FIANCEE OF YOUNG
CLARENCE MACKAY
TALENTED AND CLEVER
NO Gotham Function Is Complete
Without Her Presence and No Art
list Is Properly Lionized Until He
Has Passed Before katherine's Crit
ieal Eye-Mackays Very Wealthy.

New York, Feb. 27-Society is look
ing with its minds eye over the
bridge OF signing lent, and in partic-
ular to the wedding of Mackay to
one OF the prettiest girls in the
smart set. Miss Katherine Duer is
the young lady, whose engagement is
at last definitely announced. The
marriage IS to occur June 10.
While not among the millionaire
heiresses, her beauty and her excep-
tional talents have blazed a way for
her to the very front of the exclu-
sives Of American society. She is a
girl without fads, but with any num-
Der of attachments, brilliant
musician, eonversat1onalist of rare
powers, a writer of dainty sonnets
and humanitarian as well. The
duties which her rare talents seem to
impose upon her are borne as lightly
as are those which society insists
upon having fulfilled. So it has be-
come a matter of fact that no great
function is complete without the pres
cree of Miss Duer, and no great
artist is properly lionized until he has
passed before the critical eye of
Katherine Duer.
The Duers have a beautiful home in
New York and very pretty cottage
in Newport. 1t is an old fortune
which has come down to them, and
which has been economically handled
or it would long ago have been dis
sipated in the whirlpool of a multi
millionaire circle. Mrs. Duer, the
mother Of Miss Katherine Duer, was
a famous belle in the days of her
maidenhOod, and many a heart and

THE SINKING OF THE MAINE.

Twas in Havana's harbor
They sank the good ship Maine,
The pride of a great nation,
The tyrant's haunting bane;
No crime like this in history,
The bastard deed OF Spain.
Three hundred hearts stopped beat
ing,
Three hundred pairs of eyes
No more in gladness opened
At greeting from the skies;
The pillows dance about the bed
Where now the sleeper lies.
0 blood alone this insult
Can wipe from off our flag.
Aye, make them bind their wounds
with it
Who use it as a rag.
Then once again the eagles head
VIII lift upon the crag.

diplomatic and consular bill, a sharr
debate on the Cuban situation was
participated in by Mr.. Allen (pop..

rights of the Cuban insurgents. The

nearly four hours Mr.. Aliens

order and an appeal from the ruins
taken by the Nebraska senator was
laid on the table, 81 to 5. Early in

diplomatic ard consular bills were

OF the senate was a speech by Mr..

made a constitutional argument in IA
yor Of the seating Of Corbett and
had not concluded when the senate
adjourned. Mr.. Spooner said that it
was the purpose undoubtedly of the
trainers Of the constitution in placing
in the governor power to make a tenn
pcrary appointment to safeguard the

that every state at all times might
have full and complete representa-
ton in the senate. An effective Doin+
was made by MIR. Spooner when he
cited the credentials OF MIR. Walker
(Va.). who was appointed to the
serate in March, 1890, by the governor
Of Virginia. This case was the first
gubernatorial appointment made to

planned that necessity for

Washington, Feb. 25.-Henry w.
Corbett's right to a seat in the senate
from Oregon was under consideration
by the senate five hours. Mr..
| Spooner (rep., Wis., concluded his
speech begun Thursday in favor Of
Corbett. Mr.. Teller spoke in support
of the resolution presented by the
majority Of the committee. He de-
clared his intention to stand in this
case by the decision reached by the
senate in the Mantle case of 1893. Mr..
Allen (pop., Neb.) maintained in view
of precedents that the fact was estab-
lished after the legislature had been in
session and failed to elect, that the
/ governor had no right to appoint.
Turner (rep., Washn.) followed in
favor Of seating Corbett. Mr.,
Turley dem, Tenn said that
he would support the majority of
the committee against seating Corbett.
Washington, Feb. Pa long and
somewhat exciting debate over the
question Of the river and harbor ap-
preparation was precipitated in the
house during the consideration of the
sundry civil service appropriations
bill. 1t was practically agreed there
would be no river and harbor bill at
this session of congress. This led Mr.
Moody to attack the contract items
| carried in the sundry civil bill. He
selected the appropriation of $3.50, 900
for Rockland, Me-, in Chairman
Dingley's district, for his remarks in
denunciation of what he termed ia
voritism and approached the sensa-
tional.

MANUFACTURED DENIALS.

The San Francisco Call, which pub
fishes several columns of manufact-

nying the story sent out from the

when it denies that the EX-Queen has
abandoned hope when the dispatch
stated that she had been advised to
take such an action.
The Call says: ~ Washington pa
per, rampant for annexation, and not
too careful about its facts, printed n
story to the effect that EX-Queen Lii

had abandoned all hope of defeating
annexation and would hereafter con-
fine her efforts to securing pension.
This is lie. The 'eX-Queen is an in

neXation bill, will be defeated"

ONLY WAITING FOR NOD SAYS AS SURE DOING VERY GOOD WORK HAD FEARS FOR HIS LIFE
PERKINS COUNTS ENOUGH VOTES
IN SIGHT.
The California Senator Views the An
neXation Question as Safe-lIo6r
Can be Counted on the Good Side.

United States Senator George C.
Perkins thus figures out the passage
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by
the Senate:
AS the matter now stands l think
the necessary votes are in sight to pass
the treaty, and it will pass unless
there is a decided change before the
vote is taken.
81 believe that every Republican
Senator will vote for annexation. Sen
ator IIoar made some protest, but we
have asked him to formulate some
other plan, providing for a protecto-
rate or similar solution, and he has
not done so. My idea now is that he
will vote for annexation. Old Senator
Morrill, was against annexation of
Hayti and San Domingo in Grants
time, but when ] talked to him about
Hawaii, he said the conditions in the
two cases were not at all similar. He
is in favor of the treaty, though he
somewhat objects to the Islands COM
ing in as states. He laughingly says
California, Oregon and Washington
ought to accept them as counties.
II am satisfied that all the PoptI-
lists except Pettigrew and Allen favor
annexation.
'rhen there are the Democrats.
Senator Morgan of Alabama is of
course for the treaty, and so is his col
league, Senator Pettus. German and
Money and Turpie have declared
themselves for annexation, and Tur-
ner of Washington told me some time
ago that his people were in favor of
taking the Islands. though I cannot
be certain as to just how he stands
now
"The votes I have indicated would
make up the two-thirds necessary FOR
the adoption of the treaty, and as
said, unless there is some material
change it will be adopted
