Major-General Wheeler has probably seen

partment to-day, and had talk with

ing the temper Of the Cuban people to-
wards the plan of the United States.

A Great Event Tonight.

At o'clock tonight Richmond people
will have an opportunity or viewing
real New York scene, for the Meyer
store corner OF Foushee and Broad, have
even outdone themselves In their efforts
for their night Christmas opening, whlch
is announced tonight from to 10 O'CLOCK.
Their preparations even include ushers,
to keep the crowd moving always toward
the right.
The attractions on the outside of the
building will include the sending up OF
Pains hot-air fireworks balloons every
ten minutes. and the illumination OF the
building with Greek fire at same intervals
The attractions inside are manifold. The
Citizens Band will be stationed on the
third floor. while a sextette OF mandolns
and guitars will discourse sweet music
on the landing
The home of Santa Claus, on the bal
cony of the first floor; the new art room
In the basement; the exhibit OF Imported
toys. including Hagenbachs Circus, and
many other toys never before seen in
Richmond is well worth the visit, TO
say nothing OF the cage OF 100 living
canary birds and the goldfish aquarium.
Whereas, many people speak lightly OF
such attractions in a store, II must De
remembered. as explained by Mr. Meyer
Yesterday, that department. store OF 'Hia
scope buys goods in such large quantl-
ties so as to obtain the proper price, that
II Is necessary to attract "A great multi
tudc of people. who. while coming 10
view all the attractions become acquaint-
ed with the different character Of mef-
chandise sold. together with the saving
in prices. and thus help us to dispose OF
the tremendous quantity.
With all the preparations that have
been made by the Meyers, you need have
no fear Of being overcrowded. IL is hoped
Richmond people will appreciate this en-
terprse and masse.

The sixteenth council of the Union of
ished it's work
Members say that it IS eminent among
all the councils that have been held; that
much real. practical good has been ac-
complished, and that the impressions that
go forth from it will be lasting
Two long and busy sessions were neld
yesterday, and an immense amount of
business was transacted. The reports
from all the committees were considered,
ana some Of them were debated at length.
a striking feature in all these discussions,
however, was the readiness with when
the minority accepted the verdict of the
majority, and it was remarkable that in
several instances after nerce contest
had taken place over a single feature i'm
a report, when the will Of the convention
was made known and the report came
up for adoption as whole, not a single
voice was raised against it, and on every
final question the council was an unit.
There was a lively debate at the mora
ing session over the question of admission
of students to the college, and the pro-
position TO fix an age limit was warmly
discussed, though the matter was finally
referred to the Board Of Governors.
The leading question of this session,
and, indeed, of the whole convention,
was the Zionistic movement, which las
for its object the re-establishment Of the
Jews in Jerusalem. The discussion Of the
report-which was a severe criticism of
this movement-was long drawn out, and
was not wholly without acrimony. AZ
times indeed, the debate was almost
fierce but In the end, the council put
itself on record very emphatically as be-
ing unanimously opposed 20 ZiOnisr,
on the ground that the mission of Juda-
ism is spiritual and not political.
At the afternoon session very many
subjects were introduced The most in
teresting, perhaps, was that relating to
civil and religious rights. The commit
tees report touched on the immigration
laws, recommended Treaty between the
United States anl Russia, as to the rights
of American citizens OF Jewish birth; de-
plored the anti-Semitc agitation abroad,
and alluded to recent developments in the
Dreyfus case as a triumph in the face
of insurmountable difficulties Further
than this the report eulogizes Emil Zola,
who has paved the way towards the
vindication Of outraged innocence"

Governor Tyler thinks that il he should

Communication of sentence which come to

Therefore, he is naturally unwilling TO
take up the case Of Federal prisoner.
He was requested 10 do SO last night.
The following letter, apparently from
lady, was received In a late mail:
"Piqua, o.. December 0, 1888.

throw this in the basket. but read IL. and

a nreparatory course. When il was es-
tablished it was intended 20 be a per-
fecth free institution, and so the age
standard could no more be considered
than the question Of race. The college
should be perfectly free without any
Limitation of mind or anything else. II
had been mentioned he said, that there
was a necessity. sprlnging from financial
reasons, why the membership should be
limited. This year the eight-years' course
had 10 be taken back instead of the nine
wears course because there Were not
teachers enough. There was a necessity
that something should be done TO limit
the number of students. Young America
wants to study theology. and letters are
received from all parts Of the country
every day; therefore the Board OF Gov
ernors should be left free handed.

CHANNEL At PORT TAMPA.
Proposition TO Secure One of 2f Feet
ut Mean Low Water.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December T.
The Secretary OF War. In a report to
Tampa bay, Fla, from Port Tampa to
the mouth OF the bay in the Gulf. shows
that channel Of the contemplated depth
OF thirty feet over the bar could not
be permanently maintained without the
constant use Of dredging, and that there
would be places in the bay that would
require dredging from time to time TO
maintain the channel depth. The esti-
mated cost of such improvement is s.
$4,000. 1t is not thought advisable TO
go to this expense, but it is considered
advisable to secure a channel of twenty
four feet at mean low water.
