LONDON, April 2.-London's smar
world is exercised by Queen Alexar
dra's initiative in setting the fashion
of wearing .high-necked dresses at tn
theater II has been noticed for som,
time that she has abandoned decol
lette gowns at the play, but only re
Gently is she said to have spoken Il
friends on-the subject
Anyone who has frequented Londor
theaters can understand what trans
formation would be occasioned by the
coming into vogue of high-necked
dresses. The 'dressiest undressed
audience" in the world, was the de
scription of a continental critic after
attending London theater, but the
brightest quip of All is the melo-drama
"A Queen of Society" recently pro-
duced at the Adelphi.
When | go to the theater," said the
queen of society. Il am afraid to look
at what is going on. for fear OF what
is coming off We are underfed and
overdressed at luncheon and overfed
and underdressed at dinner"
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April q
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who repre-
sentes the conservative Democratic
sentiment of the South, says that the
next candidate of that party for pres
ident must either come from or be
acceptable to the state of New York.
He names no names, he does not refer
to any stout gentleman, 65 years of
age, who may be connected with edu-
cational institutions, in the state of
New Jersey. That is taken for grant
ed, because such gentlemen have not
been popular in Georgia. He may re-
fer, however, to Hon David Bennett
Hill, but is more likely to have in
mind Judge Parker of the New York
supreme bench, of whom Mr.. Bacon
and other senator's of the south have
the most exalted opinion. Senator
Bacon does not consider the opinion
of any man in the west of great i'm
portance, and ridicules as Childish"
the comments that have been passed
upon Mr. Cleveland and Judge Parker
by the recent Democratic candidate
for president He says that it is alb
surd for Democratic leaders to quarrel
over issues that have passed out of
public consideration, and that it is
folly to waste time discussing who
was right and who was wrong in 1895
and 1900. THE cause of contention
in the Democratic party during those
campaigns has been removed" he
says. "The silver issue no longer OK
lists"
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April labor
leaders both here and in Chicago are
greatly pleased over the decision Of
Judge Adams, which gave them the
victory in the Wabash injunction
case. 1t is believed here that in view
of this decision the railroad people
will grant the petition of the men for
increased wages and that there will
~be no strike.
Judge Adams in his decision makes
no reflection upon the original grant
ling of the Injunction, saying: THAT
was issued simply for the purpose of
holding property and the parties in
Statu quo until both sides could be
fully heard on the motion to set aside
or modify the order"
WASHINGTON, April 2.-There has
been a great deal of discussion and
considerable agitation among the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and other organizations over
the action of the Virginia Legislature in
passing an act to place a statue of
Robert E Lee in the capitol at Wash
ington. The law provides that each
state may present statues of two dis
tinguished citizens to what may be
called the national pantheon. and,
when the statues are received. reso-
luton of acceptance is offered and a
date is fixed for their formal recep-
tion with appropriate ceremonies.
One senator from the state present
ing the statue makes a speech of pre-
sentation and the committee on lib
rary selects one of its members or
some other senator to deliver an ora
ton Some times several senators
deliver orations, and the ceremonies
often have been interesting and sig
nifcant Some years ago an excit-
ing scene took place upon the pre-
sentation of the statue of Governor
King of Maine, when Mr.. Blaine and
Mr. Hoar engaged in an animated dis
cussion of his character and policy,
Congress has a right to reject
statues that are offered, and has ex-
ercised it on several occasions. A
statue of Jefferson, rendered by Com
modore Levy of the navy, was reject
ed many years ago because it was not
considered up to the standard as a
work of art, and considerable agita'
tion was created by the members OF
an anti-Catholic organization over the
statue of Father Marquette, which
was rendered by the State of Wiscon
sin. The Indignation of the A. p. A
siciety was so pronounced that a
guard of police was kept around the
efiigy for several months to prevent its
mutilation.
Both the heroes of the revolution
and the Union army of the civil wal
are well represented. Among the
