some years ago, that both Of them turn

diiIicuIt paint to settle with certainty,
the reason given for this being, anu
Wy plausibly, that the evidence rests
upon observation Of the exceedingly

THE WORK OF CONG RESS,
Continued from First Page.

'Accordingly, on the oath of Janu-
airy last, after conference with the
Spanish minister, in which the renewal
Of visits of our war vessels to Spanish
waters was discussed and accepted, the
peninsular authorities at Madrid ard
Havana were advised of the purpose of
this government to resume friendly ma
val visits to Cuban ports, and that. in
that view, the Maine would forthwith
call at the port of Havana This an
nouncement was received by the Span
ish government with appreciation of
the friendly character of the visit of
the Maine, and with notification of
an intention to return the courtesy by
sending Spanish ships to the principal
ports of the United States. Meanwhile,
the Maine entered the port of Havana
on the 25th of January, her arrival be-
ing marked with no special incident
besides the exchange of customary sa-
lutes and ceremonial visits.
"The Maine continued in the harbor
of Havana during the three weeks fol-
lowing her arrival. No appreciate
excitement attended her stay; on the
contrary, a feeling of relief and conf
dence followed the resumption OF the
long interrupted friendly intercourse.
So noticeable was this immediate effect
of her visit that the consul general
strongly urged that the presence of our
ships in Cuban waters should be kept
up by retaining the Maine at Havana,
or in the event of her recall, by sending
another vessel there to take her place.
cat forty minutes past 8 in the even
ing of the 18th of February, the Maine
was destroyed by an explosion, by
which the entire forward part of the
ship was utterly wrecked. In this
catastrophe two officers and 264 of her
crew persisted; those who were not
killed outright by her explosion being
penned between the decks by the tangle
of wreckage and drowned by the imme-
date sinking of the hull. Prompt as

curtain two immense American fags
were hung across the front of the stage
and draped up to the sides. There was
IA large attendance, but not as many as
was deserved, both for the merit of the
entertainment and the worth of the
cause for which it is given.
The natural allegory was indeed the
most striking and beautiful feature.
The characters were all well taken and
vari-colored calcium lights added much
to the effect of the tableaux. The vo-
cal soloists were in good voice and their
numbers We're very pleasing. Mrs.
Hettie Bradley-Kelly sang "Vilenelle"
in a manner which called forth burst
of applause and she responded with
spring song. Little Mae Hayes capti-

will occupy the executives chair but a
week after the Legislature eonvenes, and
then will take HIS place as a member of

will be much more than a review of

The Acting Governor will hardly care to

this should turn out to be the policy that
the Acting Governor will pursue it is
more thar probable that G~overnor-elect
VOORHEES,, in his inaugural address, will

ton than is usual on such occasions.
1t is not yet settled whether Acting
Governor Watkins will take any part in
the organization of the House or not on
the day of the opening of the Legisla-
ture. Besides the question raised by ex-
Attorney General John r. Stockton in
the Clifford murder case that Mr.. Wat
kins is not Acting Governor at all, and
which will be decided by the Supreme
Court ON Friday mex there is also the
question as to whether as Acting Cover

Ernest Roeber. the champion wrestler,
is at the Bon Ton Theatre, meeting all
Corners and offering inducements to any
who will stay with him fifteen minutes.
He will have some tough propositions to
solve this week, as he is SO near New
york City, all the cracks are anxious to
get a chance at him. Last night, when
ROBBERS offers were made, Atlas and
William Muldoon accepted. Atlas was at
first refused. but through the efforts of
Manager Denki he secured a date for
this evening. There has been bad blood
between these men since Roeber stayed
the limit with Atlas, last May, and a
terrible struggle is expected tonight.
Yesterday afternoon Ben Weld, the
terrible Jew, and August Faust went
against Roeber. He was to throw both
in twenty minutes Weld succumbed in
five minutes, but Faust was too much
for the champion. Faust is the hardest
man Roeber has ever met. Last aight
Weld met Leo Pardello, ROBBERS ~est-
ling partner. and was defeated in -four
minutes and seventeen seconds through
the drop fall. William Sherier, of Eliza
beth, a mountain of flesh, weighing ZIG
pounds. lasted with Roeber for ten min

get the Nelson t-hree-quarter hold when
Roeber quickly got the same hold and
Sherier was defeated at his own trick
