" Washington Music Lovers Charmed
by the Accomplished Vocalist.

Washington music lovers We're given a
treat last night by Nine. Blanche Marches.
who appeared for a single song recital in
the Universalist Church. The name Mar
chest means much in the world of music
as it stands for tone and the exquisite cul-
tivation of the voice.
The mother of last nights singer. Nine
Mathilde Marchesi, the teacher and favor
ite OF almost all the famous vocnlists. did
not neglect the musical education OF her
daughter despite the fact that she was
kept busy preparing prima donnas for the
bravas of delighted audiences.
There were thirteen numbers on the pro-
Gramme last night, supplemented by two
encOres. The singer was given an oppor-
tunity to display her wonderful voice to
its best advantage; there were love songs
affording excellent chance for the sweet
tender tones the singer knew so well how
10 use, and there were more dramatic pas
sages wherein wonderful power and action
were displayed.
At the close of the recital Nine. Mar
chest was given an ovation to which she
responded with a charming English ballad
which showed an entirely new side of her
musical ability. 1t was simply a child S
song. hut 1T was given with delightful ex-
preston. The recital was one of the most
successful that has been given here this
season. The next event will take place
Monday, February 6.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
\ Ambassador Choatc COnfcrs with
President Mckinley.

The Hon. Joseph II. Choate the newly
appointed Ambassador to the Court of St.
James held lengthy conference with the
President yesterday. He received his final
instructions preparatory to his departure
for London. Outside of routine matters,
the President and Mr.. ChOate discussed the
Nicaragua Canal and the Samoan ques-
tons. The former was the important OBJ
ject of discussion on account of the under
standing that England is ready to consent
to the abrogation of the Objectionable
clause in the Clayton Bulwer treaty on
condition that English battleships be al
lowed to pass through the canal in times
of war as well as peace. No instructions
were given Mr.. Choate on the Samoan
question on account of the lack OF official
news from there. Mr.. Choate said when
leaving the White House that he hardly
expected to start from New York for his
new post of duties before the last OF Feb
ruary.
of callers received by MIR. Mckinley were
few. During the hour prior to the time
appointed for the meeting of the Presi-
dents advisers a number of Senators were
in conference with the President, but none
remained great while, and only discussed
personal business. 1t was the prevailing
opinion among the members of Congress
VINO were at the w mite House yesterday
that the ratification of the Treaty of Peace
was now assured. Senator ElKins, who
hitherto would not voice his opinion upon
the subject, stated emphatically yesterday
that the Treaty would be ratified. Sena-
tors Pritchard. Plat of New York Simon.
and Mcmillan were also of the opinion that
the Treaty would be ratified as soon as
brought to vote.
Clark E. Carr, former Minister to Den
mark, saw the President yesterday. He
is interested in the establishment of corn
exhibition at the Paris Exposition in 1900.
Mr.. Carr is now president of the American
Maize Propaganda. which proposes to give
the exhibition to demonstrate to the for
eign countries the value of the American
corn, product which they know very lit
tie about as food. Mr. Cars idea is to
have the expense of the exhibition borne
by the six leading corn producing States
in the Union. namely: Iowa. Illinois, In
diana, Missouri, Kansas. and Nebraska.
Shortly after o'clock the members of
the Eagan court-martial called on the
President and informed him that the trial
of General Eagan had been concluded. They
also informed Mr.. Mckinley of their YER
dict
President Mckinley was yesterday tho
recipient of box of relics sent to him by
Captain Sigsbee. The box contained a
number OF small arms and other imple-
ments of war taken from the Spanish bat
tleship Maria Teresa while she lay wreck
on the shores of Cuba.

The Grief of Parting.

The man leaned right into the rail-
way carriage. There was positive an
guish in his drawn face The lady in
side was very pretty and beautifully
dressed Her softnesses of complexion
and hair, of lace and tilmy material,
triumphed in the searching glare of the
electric light, which showed the rich
luxury of every detail of her costume.
She smiled with a pretty, regretful
tenderness as she replied lightly to his
earnest works He looked at her as if
he could never look long enough, as If
her face held for him the whole mean
ing of life. As the train began TO move,
his fingers fell passionately on the un-
gloved hand resting on the window
ledge; then instinctively he sprang
back, raised his hat. and l caught in
full light a glimpse of his white face.
Directly the train steamed out Of the
station the lady rose, carefully rolled up
her veil, and, quite indifferent to my
presence. proceeded before the mirror in
the carriage to dust her face with
dainty POCKET handkerchief, and to ap-
ply to forehead and nose the minutest
layer of powder with tiny puff. She
patted and arranged her curls, drawing
them with hairpin into coquettish po-
sition and curve, and then, lowering her
veil, she sank into the seat with sigh
of satisfaction Academy
