Then he talked OF France, and SAID: n
France is enchanting.
"Oh, it is in decadence, wise men are

The Archbishop's gray eyes were bril-

A SHIP CAPTAINS SAD
WEDDING VOYAGE
WRECKED ON HIS HONEYMOON
Provisions Fell short, and the Bride
Forced tO Subsist on One Bis

I New York, Jan. 12--On the North Ger

rived yesterday the mate and the crew OF
nine of the lost four ur-masted schooner Fan

the story told by the schooner's steward,

The skipper was accompanied by his

Capt. William a. Reed, who command

The Administrator has shown its dispo-
sition to assist Senator Quay in his efforts
TO be reelected. The idea that the Repub-
lcans of Pennsylvania, who are willing 10
continue in the Senate man accused of
crime which involves a betrayal Of public
trust, are exceptional, is exploded. The
man under conviction has the sympathy of
organization Republicans everywhere, al

AMERICAS AMBITIONS
In THE EASTERN WORLD
NOT IN CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA
Views of Al Diplomatic Official AT the
Court of st. eters-
burg.

Paris, Jan. 12.-The European edition oil
the New York Herald publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from St. Petersburg:
The Noyoe Vremya publishes what pur-
ports to be an interview with Mr.. II. H.
d. Pierce first secretary Of the American
embassy here, but was meant by that gen.
tleman to be merely private conversa-
ton, and not intended for publication
The interview however, is strictly non
committal in character, though ii dispeis
many of the Illusions prevailing here.
1t says that while the relations between
England and the United States are excel
lent there cannot be any question OF an
alliance as such engagements are defined
by the American Constitution.
Americas aims in the Far East are COM
mercial and as no one interferes with her
there these relations are extending very
much. The relations Cf the United States
with Russia are Of the NEST friendly char
acter. All reports to the contrary are un-
true. The interview continues that Ameri-
cas- commerce with Russia is now yer?
important and she does not regard the
successes of Russia in the Far East With
the least UnfriendlineSS.

A Mischievous Commission.

II the complaint against the severity of
General Brooke's rule in Cuba were made
by anybody else than the Evacuation Com
missioners it would probably deserve at
tention; but the fact that it comes from
them greatly impairs its value and i'm
portance. These Commissioners have
shown themselves to be wholly incompe
tent; they were entirely subservient to
the Spaniards as long as Blanco was in
unlawful authority. and, as one of them
admitted. they were ''as useless as three
schoolboys." They were especially indif-
ferent to the rights of the Cubans during
the many months when the Spaniards
maintained their oppressive rule, contrary
to the provisions of the protocol Now
they have transferred their affections TO
Gomez, of all the political demagogues of
the island the one least entitled to the
consideration of Americans. AS has been
shown, he objected to American interyen-
tion in behalf of Cuba and refused to aid
in the overthrow of the Spaniards at San
tiago and elsewhere. He disappeared from
the active world when the American ex-
pedition started, and never raised his hand
army-some thirty thousand men-from the
field-alI except those who were influenced
by Garcia-and did not emerge from his
seclusion until the war was over and he
wanted rations and money. He has posi-
lively no claim to rations, money or recog-
nition-nor has that part of the Cuban
army which remained under his orders.
Most of the soldiers abandoned him and
still refuse to receive orders from him.
He represents the Cuban Junta in this
country. which is not entitled to the least
consideration; which has deliberately de-
clined to thank the Americans for the
withdrawal of Spain, or to acknowledge the
services of this nation in any way.
1t was 10 have been expected that the
Commissioners who have been worse than
useless should become the partisans of
Gomez. 1t is in harmony with their whole
course. II the refusal of Gen. Brooke 10
invite that sullen and ambitious demagogue
to participate in the evacuation ceremonies
is the sole ground of complaint it does not
deserve the least attention. The statement
that the Cubans resent the failure to recog-
nize Gomez is not true. According 10
! trustworthy information, it was the ru-
mored snub to other Cubans that caused
all the trouble. Gomez is not the repre-
sentative even OF the Cuban soldiers, in
] spite of the efforts of the Commissioners to
make him that. If he becomes capable OF
doing any mischief, it can be charged tC
them They should have been recalled
long ago. Il is enough that they delayed
the surrender OF Spanish authority for four
months during which time thousands OF
Cubans were starved to death under the
continuation OF the Weyler policy against
which they made no protest. In that time
the revenues belonging to the island were
stolen By Blanco, who also robbed tht
banks. without protest from them. The!
should not be allowed TO add positive in
jury to the indirect mischief of which the!
have been the cause.

A MiInnexe Custom.
(From the Chicago Record J

The directors of La Scala Theatre, which had
its opening performance Yesterday, have just per
formed an annual Office that comes to them as a
tradition of the house-the selection OF the Mi
lanesc flower girl, who alone for the season shall
have the right to sell her delicate merchandise
to the patrons of the word-fam opera house
The monopoly is much in demand among these
girls. and this year, as always, there has been
keen rivalry for the appointment. Disappoint
ment is hard for the hundreds who must be dis
appointed, but the choosing is no less hard for
those who must disappoint so many equally pref
" girls-for beauty is the criterion
Among the many stars who will appear during
the present at La Scala, Miss Barclay
who is known in the United States will be a
prima donna. We have also this season the tenor
DeInarchi, whose reputation is worldwide.

the basement and lower floor. He ran to
the front door and rang the bell violently.
By this time the lower floor was filled
with smoke, and flames were shooting
through the windows.
Mrs. Riker heard the wild ringing Of the
dool bell and awoke to find her room fill
ed With smoke. She was almost oVeTpow-

first thought was for ner children. VINO

When she opened her bedroom door half of
the lower floor was in flames.
Mrs. Riler hurried to the children 5

For some time after the firemen arrived

Important Decision on the DingIey
Tariff Act.

Boston, Jan. 12.-The United States Cir

decision to the effect that the tariff act
of July "a. 1897. in relation to the entry
of woois did not go into effect until 4:O6
o'clock that day the time the act was
signed by the President. The decision was
given in the action brought by the large
wool house of Stoddard Haserick, Richards
& Co, of this city. who in 1897 imported
S05 bales of wool, the entry having been
made before the close of the custom house
at O'Clock on July "a. Collector Warren
assessed duties under the new tariff, and
the firm entered protest. This was con-
sdered a test case, and the decision in

STATE CHEMIST RESIGNS.
Richard II. Gaines. Of Virginia, to
Retire FeErus.rs I.

Richmond. Jan. l2.-Richard H Gaines,
for the past eleven years the chemist to
the State department OF agriculture. has
decided to resign, to take effect February
/. The salary of this officer is S100 per
month. The action OF Mr.. Gaines is taken
because Of the happered condition in which
the department finds itself on account OF
the fact that the last legislature required
that its only financial resource should be
the money collected from the fertilizer
tax This. last year, amounted 10 SS 120
The fact that many fertilizing companies
have merged will still reduce the number
of brands and cut OF 70 little tax.
