AFFAIR.
The Opening HOP at the SeashoreH Hotel
Lasr Evenfng.The EventofAl1 Seaside
ETnertaiumeufs


The opening hop at the Seashore
Hotel, which has been so pleasurabiy
anticipated, came off last night and
was an affair of pronounced brlIllancy
and enjoyment. 1t was a full dress
affair and proved to be the most de-
lightful and successful entertainment
ever given at our seaside. 1t was on a
scale that surpassed anything in the
paImies days of the Island Beach Ho-
tel.
About 200 people went down from
the city and the cottages on Wrights-
vile Beach, n Masonboro, Green
vile and Wrightsville turned cut en-
masse. Many went in time to enjoy
one Of the most elegant suppers the
Seashore ever served.
At $3.50 o'clock the spacious and airy
dining room was cleared, n with
brilliant lights agleam, the terpsicor-
can pleasures began. The excellent
Italian band, which plays at the hotel
for the season, played for the dance,
and eighty couples participated in the
waltZes, while hundredSof people
on with enchantment. 1t was a really
beWitching affair, n with scores Of
beautiful young aides from home and
abroad to make the occasion complete,
the hop was in every way worthy of
and creditable to the management Of
the hotel. One Of the features was the
serving Of choice refreshments during
the hop.
Mr.. George Campbell, the genial and
popular proprietor of the hotel, n Mr.
r. T.. Crawford, his clever manager,
did the honors like the Chesterfields
they are. They spared no pains to
add to the pleasures Of everybody dur
ing the evening.
The dance was a lovely one and it
will long be remembered by the joy
Gus throng hat helped to make the
occasion one Of the most notable
events that Wilmington has ever seen.
O.. A train left the beach at 1870 o'clock
p. m. and brought home the city peo-
pie, and all returned, praising the hos
pitality of the hotel people, and speak
ing in the most complimentary terms
about the hop.
This is but one Of the many similar
affairs that will distinguish this sea-
son at Mr.. CampbelPs elegant hotel.
I was seriously afflicted with a
cough for several years, and last fall
had a more severe cough than ever
before. 1 have used many remedies
without receiving much relief, and be-
ing recommended to try a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a
friend, who, knowing me to be a poor
widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and
with the most gratifying results. The
first bottle relieved me very much Inc
the second bottle has absolutely cured
me. I have not had as good health for
twenty years. Respectfully, MRS.

Take Exception to Certain Actions of the
American Commission.
MADRID, Dec. 13-The government
entirely approves the memorandum Of
the protest against the action of the
United States commissioners filed by
Senior Montero Rios at Paris
The memorandum protests against the
refusal of the Americans to surrender
the securities deposited in the treasury
of Cuba and Porto Rico by private
Spaniards remarking that never has a.
civilized nation committed such an act
of violence.'
Secondly, it protests against the ulti-
matum demanding the Philippines.
Thirdly, it protests against the posi-
ton in which those Spaniards are placed
who desire to remain in Cuba.
Fourthly, it protests against the ref
erence to the destruction of the Maine in
President McKinley's message to the
United States congress. On this point
the memorandum says:
''Spain has proposed arbitration, but
the United States refuses to give her the
! right which is given to a criminal
I namely the right of defending herself
The Spanish commissioners leave the
care of fixing the responsibility OF the
| explosion to the whole world which vii
| say whether those are responsible wht
desire the truth or those refusing t
| seek it"

PARIS, Dec. 10. The treaty of peace

it having been found advisable to sub

archives. The Americans are to pay for
the repatriation of the Spanish troops
from all the colonies. The Spaniards
are to return all prisoners held by them.
They are to retain possession of all
military stores and munitions of war in
the Philippines and of such ships as
have not been captured. The CONNER

THE SPANIARDS DECLINED
Americans Suggested Joint Dinner of
the Peace Commissions.

Americans Suggested a Joint Dinner of
the Peace Commissions.
PARIS, Dec. 13-The American peace
commissioners are resting after their
long series of conferences and almost
daily sessions with the Spaniards, the
intensity of which they hardly realized
until it was over, Warm personal
friendships and mutual regards have
arisen between the two commissions as
the result Of their extended controversy
at close quarters. The American COM
missioners unofficially informed the
Spaniards that they would be glad to
have the two commissions dine to-
gether. The reply was, like the invita-
ton, conveyed automatically through
third party, and was that the Span:
iards would be most pleased but feared
that it would be inadvisable because il
| might be miscons trued at Madrid
where already much feeling existed
against the Spanish commissioners.
