Republicans apparently. and Mr.. Mcguire can't
quite understand it. Several of the members
of this organization miners strike
and when Mr.. McGuires young men were told
yesterday the arrival of the glee club in this
city it at once taken for granted that they had
grievance against the Republican party and
would take it out in singing sarcastic things about

Chase is his name" continued Mr. Davis, and
personally he is very nice indeed. But every
thing is Republican out our way this year, and the
trend of affairs has had queer effect on Chase.
He has been advertised to speak at sixteen meet
ings, and has regularly and consecutvely failed to
appear. Our Democratic friends begin to believe
that Mr.. Chase is something Of a practical joker.
When they see Mr.. Chase's name on a bill now
they say, Yes. that's ali very well, but who's
going to talk in Chase's place.? Our candidate,
Mr.. McLachlan. was defeated two years ago by a

just as mural painter must adapt his work TO
Its surroundings. considering II as part of an
architectural whole, the miniaturist must re-
member that within the narrow boundaries of
his fragile ivory he is condemned to practise
the austere economy of the old Greek medallists
The best things in this collection are the min
iatures of heads. and the painters of them. Mr.
Joseph, Miss Hills, Mrs. Fuller Mr. Baer and
half dozen others, obtain effects too brilliant
and too interesting for them legitimately to sur
render to the temptation to rebel against self
evident limitations The general effect of this
exhibition is encouraging. 1t shows that the
art is gaining here in strength and freedom A
few years ago exhibition Of miniatures would
have been chiefly remarkable for insipidity and
a kind of rigid finish. Now, the draughtsman-
ship is flexible and sometimes distinguishes the
color is rich. pure and transparent: the faces
are no longer treated with CHASTITY fatness, but
are modelled at once with fnesse, and, if we
may use the word. with breadth While some
of the best miniatures ever painted have some
thing of the polished brilliancy of an enamel
the modern error has always been to make too
much Of the polish That error is fading fast
and we foresee that the American Society of
Miniature Painters will do more and more to
bury it beneath work beautiful and of perma-
nent value.

German technology enjoyed the greatest reputation
abroad, even in England, where he had heard he
said, many apprecative remarks, Twice he en-
phasized the fact that men graduating from tech
meal high schools exerted enormous influence upon
the development OF social questions.
This summary of the Emperor's address was
given this evening at the centenary of the Berlin
Technical High School by the rector of the insti-
tuition Professor Kiedler. The students showed u
keen appreciation of the Imperial teachings

NOT INTERFERING IN SAN DOMINGO.
PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CASE
AN OUTBREAK.

AN OUTBREAK.
San Domingo, Jan Cvia Haytian cable).-It is
reported here that the Americans Of this place
have asked the Government of the United States
not to allow France 70 dictate terms for the Do
minican Government An American warshIp is ex-
pected here to-day. The French admiral and his
staR were officially received by President Jiminez
to-day.
Washington, Jan. s-While the officials here
depreeate the state Of affairs in San Domingo they
have not found it IN their power to interfere at
this stage at least to prevent the collection by the
French naval officers of what is here understood
to be a just debt. AS reported in these dispatches
yesterday the Machias has been ordered from San
JUAN Puerto Rico. to San Domingo and II may
be that she has arrived at her destination. 1t is
expressly stated, however, that the purpose is not
interfere in the settlement Of this controversy
between France and the Dominican Government.
but solely to protect American interests in the
event of an outbreak. 1t is said at the State De-
partment that appeal has yet been made looking
to intervention and If it should be there Is
doubt that it would be declined. Meanwhile. in
view of the report from San Domingo that Presi-
dent Jninez has succeeded in raising by popular
subscription sum Of money more than sufficient
to defray the debt to France, 1t Is believed here
that the worst of the trouble Is over.
