Washington, March 17,-Senator
Proctor (rep., Vt.), who returned last
Sunday from an extended trip through
the island of Cuba, made statement
in the senate OF mis- observations on
the island. From many viewpoints
the statement was remarkable. It had
evidently been most carefully pre-
pared. Every element OF sensational
ism had been studiously eliminated
from it and, except SO far as the facts
rectted were sensational, it bore not
the slightest effort to arouse the pub
lie mind. already keenly alive to the
condition of affairs on the island. One
of the best transformations of the
statement was made by Senator Frye
(rep., Me-, a few minutes after its
delivery. 1T is" said he, lust as If
Proctor had held up his right
hand and sworn to it." That was the
impression the statement made upon
the senate. On the whole the speech,
while not urging any particular &C
ton can only be understood as favor
ing Intervention.

questions We're discussed in the house.
The whole session was devoted strictly

related to the allowance for clerk hire
at postoffices and to rural free deliv-
cry. The house increased the allow

sition for increased clerk hire.

AT THE PRINCES SKATING CLUB.
London Swells Disport Themselves
on the Ice.

There was an interesting day at the
Princes Stating club on Saturday.
Lord Archibald Campbell, one of the
most graceful skaters in the club, was
early ON the ice, and busted himself
throughout the forenoon in guiding
ard helping the very young members.
This son of the ducal house of Argyll
looked as though the affairs of Coutt's
banking house sat kindly on his
shoulders, and his kindly interest
ranged from the aspiring Juveniles
to the rather weary looking attend
ants. The fair-haired young Marquis
of Headfort was noticeable as the
only man on skates who wore
buttonhole, and his was of exquisite
violets. With him was his sister,
Lady Beatrix Taylour. Mr.. Thorny-
croft of torpedo building fame was
skating with his two daughters, and
despite his silvered hair cut many
figures that several of the younger
men found it difficult to emulate
Mrs. A. Pinero, one of the most dash
ing and graceful performers, dis
played no end Of enrgy and improved
the occasion by exercising her very
excellent French Canadian. Master
Cyril Howell. who only began to skate
last season, and who has since carried
of the bronze, silver and gold medals,
to the delight of his fathere, Col.
Howell, proved to the onlookers what
an excellent chance he will have In
the National competition. I"
Two sisters, natives of Sweden,
were among the noticeably good per-
formers. and Miss Dutton- Cook, step
daughter of the late Edmund Yates,
is a very promising skater. Miss
Erby, young lady not far advanced
in her teens, was perhaps the flower
of the flock" on Saturday afternoon,
in the matter Of easy and finished
skating. the manner in which she cir
cled and danced being singularly at
tractive. Mr.. Eden, OF Shipping
ote, gave a good account of himself,
and among the visitors were Lady
Madden, wife of the chief justice of
Victoria, Ruby and Sylvia. The wo-
mans world as represented there was
indisputably select, but by no means
picturesque; indeed, If truth, like
murder, will out, it must be admitted
that the lady instructors in we'll
shaped short blue skirts and neat
scarlet corsages and turbans looked
very much better than the vast major
ity of their lady patrons. AS BELTS
club of which the Prince of Wales
Is president and life member, men,
bership is regarded as quite a social
distinction. Lady candidates have
to be nominated by two lady mem
pers and seconded by another, and
one black ball excludes. For men,
two sponsors are deemed sufficient
preparatory to election.
The building is very attractive
one. having series of panels rep
resenting scenes in Egypt and on the
Mediterranean painted on either side.
At one end the Blue Viennese band
plays excellent music, and at the
other there is refreshment room,
whence tea and cake can be served to
any part of the building. Mr. Horace
Page is the secretary, and to his
courtesy and finesse is due much of
the success that has given The
Princes" a membership roll of close
on 1000. Pail Mall Gazette.

discovered that they were only paste

threatening to sue everybody cons
cerned in his false Imprisonment. 1t
was not until a year later that the true
story of the we'll devised scheme leaked
out.
The letter which the Government re-
coived in the case was written by the
man himself. He had learned that he
was watched, so he made up his mind
to make one last grand haul. He pur-
chased the 100000 worth of real dia-
monds and then the paste ones. The
genuine brilliants he concealed in a
mattress in his stateroom, where 4

secured them. The Government de-

that he had finally retired from the
