VICTORY FOR SENIOR AzPIRoz.
End of the Social Wnr Against the
Mexican AmbassadOr.

Mexican Ambassador.
The social war against Ambassador AZ
piroz, Of Mexico. inaugurated by the Aus
trian and Belgian Ministers. has ended and
the Ambassador is victorious. The occa-
sion for the conflict was the fact that,
many years ago, Senor Azpiroz, then in
the Mexican army, was judge advocate of
the court-martial that decreed the death
of the unfortunate Maximlian. Louis Ma
poIeon's puppet in the latter's i'll advised
attempt to establish monarchy on this
continent. Because of this the Austrian
and Belgian representatives here, it is pre-
sumed under Instructions from their home
Governments, declined TO recognize Senor
Azpiroz. The subject of his prosecution
was connected with the royal families of
Austria and Belgium, and they prescribe
all who were connected with his execu-
ton.
For time things looked unpleasant for
the Mexican Ambassador and his family,
many of the European diplomats. under
the influence CT their Austrian and Belgian
colleagues. giving them the cold shoulder
and declining to meet them at social func-
tions. But Americans. especially those in
official or semi official life, took pains to
let it be known that they did not approve
the boycott CT the Mexican diplomat,
who, with his family, was made the guest
of honor at numerous entertainments. The
average diplomat, especially the numerous
attaches. dearly love good dinner. so the
ranks OF the boycotters grew thin until
now they contain. so far as known, only
the original members.
This was made plain Tuesday night when
Senor and Sonora Azpiroz gave their first
important dinner at the embassy, Secretary
and Mrs. Hay being the guests of honor.
There were present to meet them all the
ambassadors now in Washington. Count
Thyrso. the Minister from Portugal, and
representatives from the prominent social
ranks.

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Lafayette Damro.ch Society Co,

Lafayette - DnmrOsch Society Con-
cert.
The Damrcsch Society established for
itself a new record last evening through
the thoroughly excellent concert rendered
at the Lafayette Theatre. An audience of
great size and culture was in attendance
and applauded the efforts of the society
and its solosts with unusual vigor. Ger
tainly the reception was not out of pro-
portionate with the merits of the pro-
gramme. which varied from the classics of
Donizetti, Mohr, Mozart, and List to the
popular creations of the day.
While naturally interest attaches to the
appearance of the society itself. added con-
cern was felt for the soloists of the even-
ing, Nine Clementine De reSapio. Miss
Mary Louise Clary, and Mr.. john Nolan.
The latter won personal success by a
difficult solo from the Magic Flute"
while the ladies were simply overwhelmed
by the plaudits of the society people pres
ent. Each was courteous in responding
to encores, the simpler numbers being as
well received as were the pretentious
Hardly a greater contrast could be imag-
ined than that of the statuesque Miss
Clary, with her phenomenaily deep and
powerful contralto, and the slight Nine.
De We're. whose sweet soprano is world
renowned for its range and purity. Each
is an artist in the truest sense of that
much ili-used term. More than cursory
mention is due the piano accompaniments
of Mr.. Archibald olmstead. the able di-
rectorship of Mr. Edmund Varela, and the
phonorium Accomplishments of the chorus
by Mr.. Waldecker.

The womnn,s League Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Woman s
League was held last night at the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church, and measures
to procure the amelioration of the condi-
tion of the colored race in the South were
adopted. An invocation was pronounced
by Rev. f. ]. Grimke, and an address was
delivered by Mrs. II. A. Cook, the Presi-
dent of the League, who asked the assist
ance of the more favored women of this
country to intercede in their behalf. A
drastic course was necessary to prevent
the continuance of such atrocities, but for

Of Private John Allen" the new South
ern play which receives its premier pre-
sentation at the Columbia Monday even
ing. Upon this occasion the Frawleys will
be headed by the eminent Washington
actor. Charles B. Hanford, who assumes
the title role in the play. Whether Mr..
Lee Arthur builded his character around
the personality of the popular Southern
Congressman is a source of conjecture,
but they certainly have many things in
common. Both secured their titles through
service in the Confederate army, and each
is prominent in party politics. The play
is said to be atmospheric and to be true
to the Southern life as the author Mr..
Arthur, has found it. The premier will be
presented under the personal supervision
of the author. and the Columbia antici

Manager Herman promises an innovation
for next week in the form of three per-
formances daily, in the afternoon, evening.
and early morning, the latter performance
beginning at midnight. 1t is claimed for
the attraction that it produces more nov
elites than any similar organization on the
road. Mons. Laurent, a modern Samson,
will break cobble stones with his bare fist
and puts up money to prove his prowess,

No Military Post nt Pyramid Harbor.

The War Department has determined not
to establish a military post at Pyramid
Harbor in Alaska. Military posts will be
continued at Dyea and Skaguay. but 1t
has been found that the necessity for a
station at Pyramid Harbor no longer ex-
lists and orders have been issued that no
troops be sent to that place. The origi-
nal determination to establish post at
Pyramid Harbor was based upon request
for such action made by the Secretary of
State. but recently Secretary Hay has re-
called that request and orders have been
issued countermanding the first orders

AT COLONIAL HALL.

A Feast of shaksperean Recitals and
 Lectures.
 New Haven Is indulging in a feast of Shakespeare recitals and lectures. Each one helps the other AS the world grows older It's relish for Shakespeare grows more keen. Year after year the school work on Shakespeare's plays be- comes more real and more profitable. What can give the school girl and boy a better taste for the good and strong and living in English literature than an earnest study of these plays-the ground work of the best studies in Eng fish.
 An opportunity is now offered through the course of lectures at the Historical building on Grove street for a careful study of six characteristic plays Two of these, "The Merchant of Venice" and Henry w." have already been given, and in a way to stimulate study and a love for the work of the master poet and dramatist. Henry A. Clapps manner of portraying the per- sonality of Shakespeare's characters is remarkable in it's vividness and truth. His audience for the time lives in the atmosphere of the scene and of the per- sonage-be it Portia or shy1ock or Henry the Fifth. Tomorrow at il o'clock the play will be Twelfth Night and one could not better an- ticipate the Candlemas season than by going in spirit to the Illyrian shores lured by the charms of Viola and Olivia.

DELTA KAPPA EPSILON.

Annual Convention of the Fraternity
 Held in Springfield Yesterday.
 Springfield, Nov 16-The convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity began with a business session at 10 o'clock this morning at the Hotel Wor- thy. Nearly all the delegates arrived yesterday, and last evening there was a smoker and punch at the Nayaseet club. Every year the convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon is held under the auspices of some chapter in the or der. This year it is held with the Sig ma chapter of Amherst college. The members of this chapter have for a long time been making preparations to entertain the delegates in a royal manner and the opening festivities last evening were evrything that was anti cipated.
 There are forty chapters of the frater- r1ity and they are situated all over the United States, there being several in California All but one of these chap ters are represented at the convention. The Delta Kappa Epsilon is one of the largest fraternities in existence. It was organized at Yale university in 1S44 and still remains one of the strong est fraternities at that college. The Amherst college chapter was organized in 1847, and is therefore one of the old est branches in existence. The order is very strong in the southern states and figured 1t Is said, quite conspicuously and with great credit during the civil war. The fraternity has steadily grown until the present time, when it's popu- larity among college men is unques- tioned.
 At the convention held last year in Detroit there was somewhat of de- parture made by admitting chapters from Canada, which makes the frater- nifty international. The complete programme for the convention is as follows:

 About 3:30 o'clock yesterday after noon the main mast of the new liberty pole was raised in the old site on the green. A crowd of several hundred people had surrounded the workmen all day and many were the suggestions of all kinds offered to the Telephone com pany's workmen as to the best means of raising the pole. While the work was going on two students came along and stopped a moment. From their conversation they were evidently dis cussing how the bandstand would be put back around the pole Some old gentlemen present spoke of the old time pole raising during political campaigns when poles as large as the new liberty pole were raised with crude apparatus by farmers with not one iota of the fuss that has been made over the work of putting up the new pole here.

The agile and resilient Moon Toon cavorted with the glass ball again at Polls last night while Moon Chet blandly battered away at the wicker ball and sent it where he willed or caught it sometimes by the back of his neck, sometimes by his ankle joint or with the muscles under his knee--any way that he happened to prefer, but never with his hands. The people thought Moung Chet and the wicker ball were wonders, but they had more to surprise them for Moung Toons performance with the glass ball is far more difficult and remarkable.
