 Burglar Gets ss20
 The residence of MT. Peterson H. Harris, 214 North Bainbrodge street, was entered by a burglar last night and robbed of about $20 in money and valuables.
 The burglary was discovered this morn ing, when Mir. Harris awoke to find that his raiment had disappeared. He immedi- ately began searching the premises and soon located his clothing in the rear yard, where the burglar, after riling the pockets and abstracting the cash, had left it for its rightful owner.
 The intruder entered the house through window to the kitchen and proceeded through every room, pilfering pockets to wearing apparel. Every bureau drawer showed evidences of having been ran sacked,

 This the brides father bitterly opposed, and at his command 1t was broken off. Upon his death, however, the duke resumed his suit and Miss Goelet who, 1t is said, is sincerely attached to him, would not say him nay.
 The young woman is eighteen years of age and has an income on s20,0 600 until the age of thirty, when she comes ia full possession of her property. The duke. whose name is William Angus Drogo, Lord Montague of Kimbleton and Duke of Man chester, becomes of age this month.

On the very best authority it can be said that the Duke of Manchester wil shortly visit these shores to pay his respects to Miss May Goelet, daughter of Ogden Goe- let The Goelets own a magnificent resi- dence in Newport, and it is here that the duke will go to be entertained, as the Duke of Marlborough was entertained at New port two years ago by his f1ancee.
 The story of the wooing of the Duke of Manchester is romantic one. His father, the late duke, died leaving worthless es- tate, and upon these remnants the duke and hds mother, formerly Consuelo Yznaga, of New York, have been living. These es- tates consist of Welsh, an English and an Irish castle

New Orleans, March 1.-The St. Patrick sixteenth, and valued alt $1OOO, was the feature of todays card. It was a sharply run race and the time equalled the track record for the distance. Tommy Burns came from Memphis to ride Fervor and landed him winner in @ fine drawn finish with something to spare. With jockeys re- versed, Brighton would probably have cap- tured the prize.

Cristobal Colon. The cost of the first
three named was given at 100000 each.
Cervera sailed straight for the Cape
Verde Islands, where he learned of the
declaration Of war, and sailed on April
29lh from st. Vincent. What his purpose
WAS no one in this country knew, and
opinion was divided as to whether he had
gone home or started for America A few
days later word came from the French
Island of Martinique that Cervera had
arrived there. Cervera was badly in need
of coal; his machinery needed repairs.
He ran across the Caribbean Sea and put
i'm at the Dutch port of Willinstad, on the
Island OF Curacao. Our Consul kept the
fleet from entering The harbor, and all the
coal Cervera could get was three hundred
tons of condemned slack COAL for which
he paid $1,000. Cervera was expected TO
make a dash for Havana or some other
Cuban port. Commodore Schley was or
dered to meet the enemy. Scout ships
secured the southern coast of Cuba. The
st. Louis cut the cables at Santiago the
day before Cervera arrived there. He
slipped into the well-dc ended harbor
without being seen by any of the Amer
lean ships. A few days later Commodore
Schley bottled up" the enemy. Samp-
son Joined him a short time afterward.

President McKinley's name was PIE
sented by Professor Fisher, who spoke as
follows:
IL have the honor to present to you, for
the degree of Doctor of Laws. in absentia,
his ExeeIlency. William Mckinley, Pres
ident of the United States. Allow me to
say 10 this audience that President Me-
Kinley gratefully received the invitation
10 visit the university on this occasion,
and TO receive from its authorities this
mark of honor and appreciation.
He has looked forward with cordial
anticipation to the opportunity OF meeting
in person the assembled alumni. But at
the last moment the pressure Of public
duties constrains him to resign his cher

visit till more propitious day.
ITO rehearse the career of President
Mckinley would be TO repeat chapter Of
American history that is familiar to all.
In times past he has exemplified the vir-
tues of the soldier. In recent troubled
days he has touched the heart Of the peo-

the true statesman. He has acted upon
the priuciple that If war is the last resort
of kings, it should not be less the last re-

whseler van Pight for His Seat.

The Governor of Alabama intends to
deprive General Wheeler of his seat in
Congress. and will call special election
10 I'LL an alleged vacancy in his district
on the lst of August. General Wheeler
wants to be both Congressman and n
Major General, and, by his Interpretation
of the Constitution and the laws, feels an-
thorized to hold both Offices. He took
General Sickles for his example. The
latter is Major General on the retired
list OF the Army. and served several
terms in Congress as Representative of
a New York district.
When the Auditor of the Treasury re-
fused to pay his salary he appealed to the
Court of Claims, which decided that there
WAS no objection to his filling two Offices,
bat he could not draw pay for more than
one. General Sickles, therefore, contin-
ned to call upon the raymaster of the
Army, but did not ask for his salary as a
Congressman. General Wheeler propos-
ed To do the same. lie desired to Keep
the seat In Congress without pay, as he
did not expect the war to be prolonged
beyond the beginning of the next session.
The Governor OF Alabama, however, has
secured an opinion from the Attorney
General OF that State. who declares that
General Wheeler vacated his seat as a
member of Congress when he accepted
commission in the United States Army,
aud it is therefore lawful and necessary to
cali for a new election. General Wheel
er's friends sky that he will undoubtedly
contest the seat, and the House will have
TO decide whether a man can serve in both
the legislative and military branches Of
the Government at the same time.-wasL-
