Beautiful Decorations for the Com
ing Out Party of the Ohio Sen
atOr'S Daughter at Cleveland.

Cleveland, o.. Jan. 1.-American Beauty
roses cost SEC dozen here last week; to-
day not one is to be had. while other
flowers are almost as scarce and expen-
sive. This is because of Miss Ruth Han

torium OF the chamber OF commerce.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is what
persons are saying 1t will cost Senator
7furna for the entertainment which in
troduoes his daughter TO society: inoeed,
there are those who estimate the sum at
higher figure. with the comment:
'But what OF II? What's S25,00O or even
$4,000 to Mark Hanna"
Certain IL Is that Cleveland never will
have seen social function approaching
this one In magnificence.
There will be no entertainment OF
guests at Grassmere, the home of Senator
Hanna on Lake avenue. at the West
End The reason for this is because of
it's distance In the suburbs.
That is why the auditorium OF the
chamber of commerce was chosen for the
festivity.

all the art that florists can employ and
expense is eliminated from consideration.

tions, evergreens and holly will be en-

His Rejection of the Opportunity to
Propose Peace.

His Rejection of the Opportunity to
Propose Peace.
London, Feb. 11.--Sir Edward Clarke,
the former solicitor general, following
up his speech Of February before the
Holborn Conservative association, has
written a letter to friend citing Lord
Roberts rejection Of the opportunity to
propose peace terms in June, 1900, when
General Butler had prepared the way by
conferences with Christian Botha who
asked what was offered. Lord Roberts
replied unconditional surrender the
privates to be allowed to go to their
farms and no promises to the comma nd
ers or to any one who had taken an ac-
tive part in bringing on the war.
This" says Sir Edward Clarke, "put
an end to all negotiations. So the war
has gone on. The losses since have,
been 1874 officers and 1,454 men killed in
action and died of wounds; sixty-three
officers and $500 men died of disease,
and 959 officers and 22,637 men invalided
home. We have spent from sixty to
seventy millions devastating a country
over which we desire to rule. We do
not seem a day nearer unconditional
surrender than seven months ago." Sir
Edward Clarke then says he earnestly
hopes terms acceptable without dishon-
or will be offered to the Beers.

ToUNG BURGLARS IN ANsoNIA.
Two Caught In the PostoHIce and Ar
rested.

festeO.
Ansonia, Feb. 11.-Edward Coffey,
aged fourteen, and Benjamin F. Brady,
thirteen years old, were arrested to-
night in the act of burglarizing the An
sonia postoffice by United State Deputy
Marshal Parmlee and will be taken to
New Haven tomorrow for examination.
The Coffey boy was discharged in the
city court this morning from a COM
plant charging the theft of some lead
pipe, and has been under suspicion of
being connected with systematic loot
ing Of the stamp drawer of the post
office for some time past. During sew
erla weeks 1T has been noticed that
small amounts left in the stamp till
have been abstracted during the night,
and it was thought that the thieving
was the work of boys who gained an
entrance through the package window.
During the nights when young Coffey
was under arrest for stealing the lead,
it was noticed that the thefts at the
postofice stopped. Accordingly Post
master Gaylord and Deputy Parmlee
hid in the office tonight. and caught
the boys in the act. Coffey has been
in difficulties with the police before.

PRIZE FIGHr CASE CLOSED.
Judge to give His Decision Next Thurs
day Morning.

Cincinnati Feb. 1.-THE hearing OF
arguments by Judge Hollister on the
application for permanent injunction
against the Jeffries- Rubin contest here
next Friday night closed shortly after 6
o'clock tonight. Judge Hollister an
nounced at once that he would reserve
his decision until II a. M next Thurs
day. He stated that there were so
many exhibits and citations of author
ity that he desired two days for the
preparation of his finding. This means
that the present suspense of the Saen-
gerfest Athletic association, Managers
Brady and Madden, the contestants
and others will continue until the day
before the date fixed for the contest.
All the arrangements at the big hall
and elsewhere are completed, and the
sale Of tickets continues brisk
The arguments of Hartenstein and
Bettiuger and Wilson for the defend
ants and of Harmon and Wald for the
plaintiffs were very vigorous to-day and
commanded the closest attention. The
most remarkable argument was by
Gustavus Wald, who closed and who, as
a representative German, insisted that
he did not represent any creed or class,
but the best interests of secular gov
ernment. Most of the clergy of this
city were in the court room. Wald turn
ed to them when he said that neither he
nor any member of his family belonged
to a church. that none of his kindred
for generations have belonged to any
church and that he was opposing the
prize fight for the interest of the state.
The directors of the Saengerfest Ath-
letie associa ton announced o-night
that they will hold a meeting to-mor-
row to discuss the feasibility of post
poning the Jeffries- Rubin fight for
several days If the court should decide
in their favor.

SITUATION IN MADRID.
Anniversary of Founding of the Re-
public Passes Quietly.

Madrid, Feb. 10, 2 a. m.-Yesterday,
day awaited with some anxiety in
official circles because the anniversary
of the establishment of the republic
was accentuated by the recent mani
festations, passed off more quietly than
several days OF late. Just after night
fall an idle crowd, chiefly composed of
street gamfns gathered on the Puerta
Del Sol, but when shouts arose the
civil guards charged and cleared the
space, after which there was no dis
turbance The rain began to fall and
dampened the ardor of the manifesta-
lions.
Meanwhile the aristocracy of Spain
gathered at the palace to attend
court ball in honor of the wedding of
the Princess of Asturias and Prince
Charles of Bourbon. The magnificent
structure which was ablaze with cleo
tric lights could scarcely accommodate
the invited guests, whose carriages
wer vending their way thither as early
as 9 o'clock. All entered by the royal
staircase of white marble at the top Of
which Napoleon stopped at the time of
his entry into Madrid and uttered the
famous EXPRESSION as he rested his
hands on the msr5le lions cat last,
Spain, hold thee whom 1 have so long
desired" and turning to his brother
"You are better installed than T."
The long line of guests traversed the
former ball room called the hall of Col
umns and passed through apartment
hfter apartment gorgeously hung with
gobelin tapestry Of magnificent designs.
The members of the diplomatic corps
awaited the royal party which en-
tered promptly at 10 o'clock. The
queen regent was escorted by the Count
of Caserta. Then followed the Coun-
tess of Caserta with Archduke Eugene
of Austria, the Princess of Asturias
with Prince Charles, the Infanta Isa-
bella with the Duke of Calabrla, the
Infanta Eulalia with Prince Ciennaro,
younger brother of Prince Charles, and
then three of the daughters of the
Count Of Caserta.
The regent welcomed the members of
the diplomatic corps. Bellamy Storer,
the United States minister, was accom-
panied by Mrs. Storer. Her majesty
advanced and gave Mr. Storer a cordial
personal greeting.
The royal party then entered the
state dining room The queen and her
partner opened the dancing within a
reserved space, each having as partner
the one already mentioned as escort.
The whole scene was a bewildering
spectacle Of court grandeur, in which
brilliant uniforms We're really less no.
ticeabe than evening dress. Particu-
larly noticeable on account of the war
between Spain and the United States
