Gen. Lees reception at the State De-
partment and the White House was a re-
markable demonstration of enthusiasm.
When word came that he had reached the
city and would come Immediately to the
State Department crowds began to gather
at the outside door of the building and at
the entrance to Secretary Sherman's
rooms. The clerks in all parts of the
building were fiocking to the south corri-
dor, men and women alike.
When he stepped off the elevator there
was a resounding cheer and three or four
more that filled the building in a wonder
full way. One man gave the rebel yell
with such a vim that Gen. Lee looked
around for moment with fine smile of
welcome for the old familiar sound. He
passed through long line of people bow
ing and smiling as he went.
After short chat with Secretary Sher-
man and Judge Day he accompanied them

1.-THE House of Representatives immedi-
ately made an appropriation for a diplo-
matte agent from the United States to
the government of Texas, thereby plr-
suing the very course suggested by Henry
Clay in his attempt to recognize in Con-
gress the independence of Spanish-Ameri-
can states.
1.-THE last official act of President Jack
son, previous to his retirement from the
executive chair, was the nomination of
Alcee Lablanche as charge d'affaires to
the new republic of Texas. 1t is a his
torical fact that within few days there
after the newly accredited ministers from
the republic Of Texas were given an Off
cial audience at the White House. and
they were duly recognized as such min
listers by the republic of the United
States.

learned lawyer who furnished the au-
thority for this branch of the Presidents
message was in the least disingenuous,

be cited as precedent when as a matter
of fact the Government of the United

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that of Skid
daw, in Cumberland. 1t contains but
one house, the occupier of which is
unable to exercise the Briton's privi-
lege of voting, because there is no over
seer to prepare a voters list and no
church or other place of worship or
assembly in which to publish one. The
most remote village in England is that
oe Farley-cum-Pitton. This rural spot
is 30H miles from the nearest railway
station. AS a contrast to this may be
mentioned the hamlet OF Ystard, about
ten miles from Cardiff. This tiny set

''Some time ago" said an insurance
man, according 10 the Philadelphia Rec
ord, "a nan asked me to accompany
him home, as he had some things there
to be insured. When we arrived at
his house he showed me 100 boxes of
cigars, which he wanted insured. There
were 100 cigars in each box, making TO-
600 in all, and were valued at ten cents
each, so / insured the lot for $1,000.
A few days ago the man came to me
and asked for the insurance money.

As far as technicalities were concerned
he was all right, but knocked him cold

One of the reports of the educational
department Of England has a special
table devoted to the subject of the
admission of women to university life,
says the Chicago Tribune. Inquiries
have been instituted as to the arrange
ments made for women students at 1862
of the universities of the civilized ma
tions in both hemispheres, and l39 re-
plies were received. The questions
asked were: Are women admitted as
members of the universities? Are they
admitted on the same terms as men?
Are they admitted to lectures? Are
they admitted to examinations? Are
they eligible for university degrees?
1t is significant of the advanced lib
eralism of Scotland and Wales that
their five universities have no answer
but Eyes" to make, save as regards
certain medical courses in the north
country. Australia, India and Canada
also answer: EYES," and Toronto
proudly says: 'No advantage is grant
ed to men which is not open to wom-
en-" New Zealand gives practically the
same reply. France, Belgium, Holland,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzer-

United States have almost unbroken

There were two explosions OF q dis
tinctiy different character, within
VERY short, but distinct, Interval be-
tween them. and the forward part Of
the ship ~ hfted TO marked degree
81 the time cf the hrst explosion.
CONDITION OF THE wIlECK
The evidence bearing upon this
being principally obtained from divers.
did not enable the eOHYt 10 form def
inite conclusion as 10 the condition of
the wreck, although il was established
that the after part Of the ship was
practically intact and sank in that
condition in very few minutes after
tho destruction OF the forward part.
re first explosion was more In the
nature Of a report. like that Of a gunt
whtie the second explosion was more
open. prolonged and OF greater vol
ume. This second explosion was. in
the opinion OF the court, caused by the
partial explosion Of two or more Of the
the forward magazines Of the Maine.
The following facts in regard to the
forward part Of the ship are however
established by the testimony.

about frame 20 to about frame 81 was

). At frame II the outer shell of the
ship, from a point 11E feet from the
middle line Of the ship, and feet
above the keel when in its normal pO-
sition. has been forced up 50 as to be
now about feet above the surface Of
the water; therefore about "a feet
above where il would be had the ship
sunk uninjured. The outside bottom
plating is bent into a reversed V shape

upon itself against the continuation Of

At frame Is the vertical keel is
broken in two. and the fat keel bent
into an angle similar TO the angle
formed by the outside bottom plating.
This break il now about six feet below
the surface of the water. and about 80
feet above its normal position.
In the opinion OF the court this
effect could have been produced only
by the explosion Of a mine situated un-
der the bottom Of the ship at about
frame Is. and somewhat % the port
side Of the ship
