TKOsE men and newspapers in Virginia
who would have it so, declare that the senti-
ment in favor Of proolsiming the new consti-
tuition is rapidly increasing d that those in
favor Of proclamation are already in a de-
cided aiority. II this is 90, why not sub
NIT the constitution TO the people and give
this msjority an opportunity Of making good,
their declaration by adopting it, II they
have the majority they should not fear and
certsinly should the constitution be ratified
by the people its trainers would be much
letter satisfied, IS would every one else con-
cerned. But there is fear, and a serious
doubt, of its adoption If submitted to the
psople. The trainers themselv,s fesr, If they
do not know, that their work is unsatisfactory
and as sop TO Cerbeius they inserted clause
in the constitution reducing, for few years
the rate Of taxation. This was done, OF course
with the idea Of catching voters should the
constitution be submitted, bat it is believed
by many that even this bait will not be
tempting enough TO catch the majority who see
in the P Opo.ed new constitution 60 many
clauses that will work injury to the state
shat they will prefer to pay the OLD tax rate
for the present rather than have the new in
strument become the organic law Of the Com.
monWealth.

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.

Boundary Castle, the residence OF ex-
Senator and Mrs. John B. Henderson,
Just Outside the Washington city limits,
was the scene last night OF the most
unique entertainment of the spring
season. The scene was one, indeed,
the like of which has never before been
looked upon by Washington society.
The splendid picture gallery with lite
Moorish settings was cleared and on
the perfectly wsxed floor the members
of the ultra-smart set danced 10 cos
tunes the typical dances OF foreign
lands.
Mrs. Crackenthorpe, wife Of the Sec.
rotary Of the British Embassy, and
dsu ghter of Gen. Sickles by his Spanish
wife, showed her Audlauslan blood by
the perfect manner in which, with cas-
tanets held high 10 air, she danced q
Spanish fandango.
Countess Marguerite De Cassini's
slim, gracefully, girlish figure bent and
swsyed aud curved with oil the FIRE OF
true daughter of the steppes as the
wild music oil the accompaniment kept
time to the bewilderiDg fascination OF q
Russian dance.
A weird dance, "The Walpureis,"
was performed by the hostess. Mrs
Henderson, and Honorable Audrey
Pauncefots in a manner that would
have done justice to professionals. Al
iG the cotillon began. The opening
figure was q msy-Dole dance, in which
all the members Of the dancing class
lnsugurated by Mrs. Henderson Of
Easter took part. This gave occasion
for the numerous solo ana duet dances
by the young ladies, members OF the
class. These included "Florodora"
and q Chinese dance 10 the music OF
Sab SiD," danced with Chinese um-
brellas.
Mrs. Crackenthorpe and Countess
Cassini followed 10 q Spanish bolero
with Madame De Margarie and Miss
Nathalie Barney.
Then came the ghost dance. "The
Walpurgis." and when the applause
bad subsidized Mrs. Alfred Clifford
Barney, gowDed like some Princess OF
ancient Greece, took her place upon
the floor, and with superb skill and dar-
ing went through the mszes OF typi-
cal dance of that land which gave TO
the world it's highest conception of all
the arts.
Miss Catlin, of St. Louis, followed in
scarf dance, which gave opportunity
for much natural grace of movement.
Then came tie minuet, In which
those who took part in costumes were
Miss Alice Roosevelt, Hon. Audrey
Pauuceiote. Mise Marian Cockrell, Mrs.
0lmttsd, Madam De Margarie, Mrs.
Cracker thorpe and Countess CAssini.
This march concluded in the cake
walk, led by Miss Roosevelt, with Mr..
John b. Henderson, jr., aud In which
the gaiety OF the eveOing reached its
climax.
Supper was served shortly after mid
night.

resolution to repeal the duties on cat

DURING THE eourt-martisl trial oil
General Smith 10 Manila on Wednes'
dsy, Captain w. F. Aver, General
Smiths Acknowledgement, said that
far as the people OF Samar were con-
cerned, be met only one man worthy OF
respect who was sincere, patriotic emo
honorable. He must admit, however,
that the man with this qualification was
born at Martinique, of Tsgolog ances-
try. Now Captain Ayers ideas OF
patriotism, honor and sincerity differ
from those OF most other people. The
one man to whom he refers as possess
ing all these virtues is Filipino. TO
be patriotic, &c. to the Americans he,
of course, must be false to his own race
snd people who will naturally despise
aud regard him as the blacklist OF trail
tors. Men who turn against their own
country and people are not apt to be
admirable and can not be trusted.
Would Boer. under present condi"
ton, who is "sincere, patriotic and
honorable" to the British, be considered
worthy OF respect by the rest OF the
world?

Agninsldo, was the special subje OF
discussion 10 the Senate yesterday.
Sir. Carmack resumed his criticism OF
the Philippine committee because Of IFS
refusal 10 call Aguinaldo and other
Filipinos 81 witnesses. He msintsined
that as reflections by witnesses had
been cast upon the character Of Aguin-
aldo, he ought to be permitted to APP
pear before the committee to defend
himself. Mr.. Carmsck's contention
was combatted by Mr.. Foraker, Mr..
McComas, and Mr.. Burton. Mr.. Cul-
berson. 10 support OF a statement by
Mr.. Carmsck that the War Department
suppressed information aud falsifed the
situation concerning the Philippines,
presented a letter from the Secretary
OF War, which he thought, was proof
Of the Tennessee Senator's assertion.
The Secretary stated 10 the letter that
il was not practicable to supply the 10
formation requested because no special
account was kept of Philippine war ex-
peDses, and 1t would require the SER
vice OF large force of clerks 10 work
out the information desired.
Both the Rosebud reservation bill and
the sundry civil appropriation bill were
under consideration but no action upon
them was taken.

The House gave most OF The day to
