J Apia, Samoa, March 2. During the past month the German authorities, both consular and naval, have maintained a state of inactivity. This condition of affairs dates back to the arrival of the steamer Wainui with dispatches for the German consul, on Jan. 23, and is, no doubt the result of tho orders then received. The declaration of a 6tate of war in tho Sanioan islands seems to have become a dead letter, while the military occupation of Apia, which the declaration of martial law would seem to have implied, has no existence save in tho' maintenance of a strong guard at the German consulate. A guard is still kept at the American and English consulates, m view of the , fact that there has been no official retraction of these declarations, and of numerous proclamations with which the town was flooded, and consequently no settlement of the matter at issue. The German Consul has made repeated overtures to Mataafa looking towards the adjustment of the quarrel and tho conclusion of terms of peace, but the terras proposed always erabodied a strong German interest in tho f utnre administration of affairs, to which Mataafa declares he will, under no circumstances, consent. Negotiations have therefore been of no avail, and the German otlicials occupy the unenviable position of men who have deeply compromised themselves without seeing their way clear to retreat consistent with the preservation of their dignity. Mataafa, in the midst of his warriors, rests 6ccnxe in his intrenched camp and awaits the arrival of Admiral Kimberly, having full faith in tho support of the United States. His picket-lines extend down the coast for a distance of live miles, close espionage being maintained on the road leading from Apia to Lauly and Lutumui. Tamasese, with his forces, now reduced by desertion to iibout six hundred warriors, still occupies tho large fort at Lutumui. A great numler of his former adherents have joined the standard of Mataafa, or, grown weary of Avar, have returned to their own districts. There has been no collision between the opposing forces for a long time. On Feb. 8 .a small detached party of Mallctoa's men, -which was reconnoiterinjr in the vicinity of the forts, fell in with a toraging party of the enemy, and succeeded in killing one of Tamasese's greatest leaders and 6tanchest supporters, ono Solo Futi, ruler from Matauta, in Savay. On Feb. 2. her Majesty's ship" Calliope, Capt. H. J. Kino, arrived from New Zealand to relieve theKoyal, and tho latter sailed for Auckland on the 4th instant. This change has been a source of untold satisfaction to the English residents in Samoa, as well as to their consular representative. The censure showered upon Captain Hand, of theKoyal. by the colonial press, simply voices tho indignant feeling o his countrymen in Samoa, whose interests he looked after in a dilatory lukewarm manner, and whose property he announced himself without authority to protect. Thero can be no doubt that the cordial feelings and unity of purpose which characterized the relations between his predecessor, Commander Pell, of the Wizard, and her Majesty's consul, had no existence in the case ot Captain Hand. Early in the mcuth, Capt Fritzo made Known the fact that the consular courts the American and the English were considered by him as open for the hearing of causes, despite his proclamation of martial law, reserving to himself, however, the administration of the police under tho regulations of Jan. 18, 1S&S. Thus, by acknowledging tho ability of these courts to perform their civil functions undisturbed, he virtually abrogates tho necessitj- for the establishment of martial law, and gives rather a farcical aspect to that arbitrary act on tho prt of the German commander. Another fact, proving that Germany recognizes their original stand to be untenable, is found in the reissue of the Sainoan Times, the English newspaper which was suspended by the German consul as a dangerous organ. The editor felt the pulse of tke press censor on Feb. 4, by the publication of a single sheet 'extra," and on tho 9tla instant, the regular sheet again. The revival of tho suppressed naner baa called for no comment from Dr. Knappe-the German consul, which eviuced a farcalmer frame of mind than that displayed in his dictatorial actions of three weeks ago. On Feb. 5, tho steamer Lebeck left this port for Sydney, carrying with her Brandies, the x-Gennan artillery ollicer, aud Premier of Taniesese, who has for so long a time leen the bone of contention in Samoa, and who has done much to precipitate the present crisis. It is rumored he has been ordered homo to explain his conduct in Kamoan a Hairs to the government at Merlin. On IVb. 12 tho German man-of-war Ebor, which had been tent to Auckland, ostensibly to communicate with Berlin, returned to th a port. Her arrival and tho dispatcher Trturh sho undoubtedly brought (tho tenor if whirh is unknown) have in no wise changed tho condition of a fiairs. Whether the German goveniinrr.t vrill endeavor to maintain the position taken bv its officials here, or wht thrr ih ha mued instructions to concur in such ultimate &ettlenient as Admiral Jvixxibe r.y nav propose, is a mere matter of coujecture. It is known that early in tho present iuouth tho United States ships lrcnton nud Vttndalia had bceu ordered to Samoa. ;ind had tailed in obedience to their instruction. The, Vandalia arrived on tho evening of Feb. s;. The an ivai of the flagship lrfutoii was anxiously awaited, as it wa hnpedtjiat Admiral Kimberly's instructions A-ill empower him to speedily tcimin ate Vac uncertainty as to tho outcome of thert-sent hi niggle. Mataafa is linn in ls! belief of ultimately receiving tho support of tho United states government, and ho reiterated hU determination

ro do nothing until the Admiral's arrival, fully appreciating the fact that in treating with Germany ho must bo seconded by tho patron whose power can compel proper recognition of right and juRt ice. famasesas force, weakened bv desertion, sinks into a secondary factor, and, indeed, has almost entirely disappeared from tho scene. The Americans And Englishmen etili accuse the German ollicials of intercepting their mail matter and reading the contents for tho information of their government Tho schooner which met tho steamship Alameda at Tutuila and took on board the mails for Apia, was met by the German corvette Olga when midway between Tutuila and Apia and the latter took all the official and private mail matter, directing tho schooner to retnrn.to Tutuila and meet tho Zelandia with mail intended for tho United States. All the mail matter taken bv tho Alameda for Apia, therefore.

was first taken on tho German man-of-war before being turned over to tho postotlice in Apia. As the American mail steamers do not touch at Apia, American mail matter must pass through German hands before reaching tho Samoan capital. It is thought that hereafter an American man-of-war will meet the mail steamer at Tut nil a. Tho Chronicle has an account of the arrival of the American bark Constitution at Apia, on Feb. 2, and which was afterward wrecked in Apia harbor. The Constitution took her cargo to Apia, and on her arrival at that port a searchin g party from the German corvette Olga, under charge of a lieutenant rowed to the Constitution and demanded her papers aud announced their fmrpose of searching tho vessel for contraband material, announcing that martial law hd been declared by Germany. On the date of this occurrence the American man-of-war Nipsic had gone to Tutuila and there was no American vessel at Apia. Capt Celey had only eight men on board, bilt informed tho "Germans that tho Constitution was an American ship, and that if they attempted to board his vessel they would be tired upon. The Germaus, after a little further parleying, withdrew. When the Constitution drifted on a reef, Feb. 14, the captain and his crew were rescued by tho efforts of tho crew of tho Nipsic, which was one mile away at the time. The crew of the Olga, which was close by, tendered no assistance. Ex-President Cleveland. New York, March 16. Ex-President Grover Cleveland made his first public appearance as a private citizen in cw York, and his initial speech since leaving the White House, at the 105th anniversary dinner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick at Delmonico's, to-night. He appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and received an ovation which could not be excelled in point of warmth and sociability. lie was attired in a dress suit, and entered the banquet hall on the ann of Joseph J. O'Donahue. Ho took the seat on tho right of the presiding officer, while Mayor Grant was given the corresponding seat on tho other side. A lif e-sizepicture of St. Patrick hung on the wall. Hanked on either side by an American and an Irish flag. The diningroom was appropriately draped with the international colors. At the speaker's table, besides tho ex-President of the United States and Mayor Grant, were Hon. Everett P. Wheeler go ancey istrict Attorney Fellows, Col. W. L. Brown and tho respective representatives of the St. Nicholas, Holland. St Uavid's, St Andrew's and St. George's societies. Joseph O'Donohne, as president of tho organization, presided at the central table, and, when tho banquet had ended, first introduced ex-Chicf-justice Daly, of this city, who spoke to the toast "The Day wo Celebrate' after which a murmur of anticipation filled tho hall, for each of the several hundreds at tho tables know ex-President Cleveland was next on the list and that to him had been assigned the duty of responding to tho sentiment "The United States," and when tho President's brief introduction was concluded with Mr. Cleveland's name, tho diners leaped from their chairs and cheered lustily; and while tho din was at its height, Mr. Cleveland, his face a trifle pal with interest in the scene, slowly arose and stood motionlers, save for bows of acknowledgment at the earnestness of the reception given him. The cheering having finally subsided, Mr. Cleveland pushed back hi3 chair, and, speaking clearly and easily, said: Tne words to which I respond give rise to such various and Impressive reflections that I find it dlfllcult to determine the line of thought which should be followed. What Js naturally and obviously suggested by the sentiment proposed is a country marvelous in its growth and development, great in its power and wealth, and free in the character of its institutions and in the spirit of ite people. There is also suggested a broad and hospitable country, which opens its gates to the people of all nations who are willing to assume the duties of American citizenship In exchange for a share In the blessings which God has in store for the American people. Norcn it be said that in national selfishness and sordid complacency our country is blind to the welfare of others. Wherever there exists a struggle for freer government, and for man's enfranchisement, there will be found the aid and sympathy of the people of the United States. In this we hut follow the promptings which our free conditions inspire, and acknowledge the contribution we have received from the sturdy men of other lands to our population, and to every element of our ereatneps. In this reunion of your ancient and honorablo society reminding us of such contributions, and where the value of American citizenship is fully acknowledged, it is in every way ntting and proper that we should mention with love and with loyalty "The United States." I have referred to the obvious significance of the words as they are related to a great prosperous and free nation. But other nations, too, are great; they are prosperous and rich; and, in a measure, they are free states, and may mean any organized government tyrannical, monarchical, or free. It is there tore most Important that we do not miss the Mfieotionthaf'TheUnltedfitates" alono ktand for one government always free, and founded upon human rights and equality before the law. Thus is presented tho unity of our fctates and the fundamental importance of that unity to all we are. and all we hope to be. Our nation.il life is inseparable from this Union of the States. Thus It was launched npon its career among the nations of the earth. Its machinery 18 suited to no other condition, and its success depends upon it. Whatever might bo the achievements of separate and disjointed States, nothing but the triumph of "the United States" can fully demonstrate, in the eyes of the world, the success of the American experiment of self-government. To the end that our Nation might be callsd "the United States" the fathers who formed 60 well tho bonds of our Union, yielded to each other their opinions and discarded their prejudices. In later years, in order that "the United States" might he saved as a precious heritage, lives were sacrificed and blood was shed on many a hard-fought battle-field. We should not be content with veneration for those who made us a Nation, nor with the sacred and grateful remembrance of these who shed their blood and gave their lives for its perpetuation. We, too, owe a duty to "the United States." We can, at least, teach fraternity and toleration, the sure foundation of our unity, and of our country's life. If these lessons are firmly established in the hearts of our countrymen, we shall, to the extent that we aid in this consummation, perform the duty required of u in our day and generation. Let us, then, cultivate real and genuine generosity and fraternal kindness among all our people. Let us resolve that no partisan exigency whall excuse the creation or keeping alive of irritation and Jealousy among people charged with the safety, the development and the triumph of American institution. Our destiny is before us. It can only bo reached by union and harmony. We are not called upou to surrender or Jeopardize the many results in favor of our Union we may have gained in its armed defense, but rather to foster and secure those results through the patriotism of magnanimity. In the presence of the duty God has laid upon us as a nation it should never be forgotten that failure waitA on dissension and division, and that a grudging acknowledgment of a common brotherhood or a halting co-operation In a common patriotic purpose will surely check our national progress. In this assemblage, where so large a representation is found of the race which, in nil stages of our national life, has done so much to make our country great nnd whose hearts at this time turn lovingly to their brethren who struggle for the blessings which arc here enjoyed, I know that reference to any element of our freedom and happiness will meet with a heartfelt response. Here, regardless of place of birth or of lormcr allegiance, we meet as American citizens, proud of our country, devoted to her Interests aud prosperity, and wishing with enthusiasm for those lcs favored, tho happiness, the freedom, tho strength and the peace, which are found In -tho United fctites." Following Mr. Cleveland's speech, which was cheered liberally during its utteranco and at its close, came, these speakers to tho toasts named: "Ireland." John SS. Wise, of Virginia: 'The State of New York." Everett 1 Wheeler; "The City of New York." Maj or Grant: The Bench and the liar," Ehlridgo T. Gerry: "The Army and Navy," John It Fellows: "Voinent" Delancey Micoll, and "Our Sister Societies," bv presidents of some of the societies who were among the invited guests. Tlio Stcel-31111 Combine. Chicago. March 16. One of the largest holders and dealers in mining and railway stocks in tho Northwest, and a man who says he has been acquainted with the preliminary details of the steel-mill combination for two weeks, was at the Grand Pacific to-day. With the stipulation that his name should not bo used, he made &omo

statements last evening that go to 6how that, whether the association may or may not be properly called a trust it is a combination that may mean much to small mine-owners in the Northwest "It will be remembered," he said, "that quite recently tho Minnesota Iron Company and tLo Duluth Range Company, which is rnn bv the company, were sold to a largo nool headed by If. H. Porter, of this city. This entire property is now controlled and managed by this syndicate, of which I'orter is the moving epirit, and its headquarters and office are here in Chicago. It is really a Chicago institution, with J. C. Morse at tho head of the iron company and a large number of Chicago men. mclndiug Marshall Field, Armour and others, interested. The Minnesota company was last year the largest shipper and producer of iron oro in the Lake Superior region, having mined and shipped nearly 600,000 tons. It is estimated that the output of the Vermillion district, where tho company's mines are situated, will be for the season of ISM) about 800,000 tons." The gentlemen then said: "Tho point to it all lies in this. The principal consumers of iron ore in tho West have combined under one management in the steel combination. The men financiallv interested in tho Minnesota Iron Company are also interested in the several mills in the new association. What have been conflicting interests heretofore are now harmonized, and tho Minnesota company has a certain and suro market for its product The supply can bo adjusted to the varying demands of the new association. The outlook for the small mine-owners is not at all bright, and the new combination, with the present tendency of combinations, may drive many of them to the wall." The same gentleman, who is in part interested in the steel combination, gives it out semi-oGicially that there is no question about the formation of the association. "It will be formally announced in a few days," he says; "but I want to say the papers aro not justified in speaking of it as a 'trust' The combination will include the North Chicago, the Union steel-mill and the Jeliet Steel Company, with possibly one other, tho Calumet It is not a trust in any sense, or a combination of that character. It is simply a consolidation into a largo corporation for the purpose of better carrying on th work of production and tales. A vast expenditure in the way of superintendence and sales will be avoided, and they will be able to produce rails at a price which, in these days of sharp competition, will enable them to compete successfully with an v other works. In fact, this corporation will bo much the largest one in the United States, and will make an annual output of steel rails largely in excess of any other establishment under one management in the countr. Their annual consumption of iron ore will be in excess of 1,000,000 tons." Oklahoma Boomers. Wichita, Kan.. 51 arch 1G. Tho boomers were to-day in a frightful state of demoralization. Last night tho rumor reached Oklahoma City that the troops were en route from Fort Keno to drive them out of tho country. They fled in terror to tho woods aud the bushes, taking with them all their valuables. The soldiers, under command of Lieutenant Carson, arriving at noon, commenced immediately to search for tho boomers, beating the bushes and scouring tho woods. They soon gathered qnito a body, and, driving them heforo them, started for tho Kansas line.

after burning their huts, tearing down tents and dng-onts. No excuse was received, and allfonnd without permits were taken. Captain Hayes started also from the Cherokee strip w ith Troop K, and intends to carry before him to tho south all the boomers ho finds. Many reports aro made of the severe treatment, but nothing definite regarding such action is known. Serious trouble is feared, however, before the soldiers' raid is ended. Ilorrible Discovery in a Wood. Wheeling, w! Ya.,March 16. A most horrible and mysterious discovery was made to-day upon the farm of Samuel Ilewitt, in Rich IJill township, Green county, Pennsylvania. While a neighbor of Mr. Ilewitt was passing through a piece of wood's, he saw the body of a man swinging to a limb a short distance away. Making a closer examination, ho was horrified to Und that the face and skull of the man had been mashed out of all human semblance, as though beaten with a heavy hammer, making tho remains unrecognizable. But there were no evidences of violence upon other portions of the body. Blood and brains, however, had run down over the clothing and dropped on tho ground, making the whole appearance of tho swaying corpse a most horrible one. Tied to a small limb, close to the corpse, was an old fashioned hors-p!stol, empty. The alarm was at once given, and Justice J. C. Barker summoned, lie impaneled a jury. In the pockets were f ou nd six half-ounce bullets, and other articles, but nothing by means of which Identification could be established. The man was apparently youns:, well dressed, and about live feet six Inches In height The body had remained on the tree at least twenty-four hours. It win be interred tomorrow. Folpit Closed Against Justin D. Fnlton. ; Richmond Va., March 16. Rev. Justin D. Fulton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., last night addressed an audience in the Frst African Baptist Church. Among other things he said: ".Let the black man go to work and make money, and then he will be recognized.'-' He said he had "seen a black man go Into church in the North, and peole turned up their noses in scorn at him. Soon tbeeams known that the negro was worth $100,000. Many of those who had scerned bun immediately sought his acquaintance. "Let a black man have money," said the Doctor, and ho can buy railroads in Georgia and in other States where the negro is not allowed equal privileges with whites and then the former can say to the latter, 'Now, if von dnn't hhnva Tonrslf. 111 rut toii Aft" mv train.'" Ho desire to see all colored people have nice homes and nice wives and clean chil dren, so that when ho came to Richmond again to speaKto xnem no eouia stop at their nomes. On concluding, he annoumced that he would preach at the First Baptist Chnrch (white), tomorrow night by Invitation. The deacons of this church met to-day, after reading the Doctor's remarks, and unanimously decided that the church would not be open to him to-morrow. Injured by Explosion of Natural Gas. Pittsbukg, March 16. This afternoon a number of men were digging a natural gas trench at Harrison City, near Greensburg. Pa., when Superintendent Irwin turned, on the gas in the pipe line without warning the men. The gas ignited and a terrible explosion followed.

James Irwin, the superintendent of the Carnegie gas line, was this evening arrested charged with murder. It was he who taraedou the gas without, it is alleged, notifying the workmen on the line. Irwin claims the gas was turned on by accident, and his friends aro malting a great effort to have the Justice of the peace withdraw the charge of murder and substitute one of manslaughter. There is great excitement at the scene of the accident Two Men Killed in a Collision. Charlotte, N. C, March 16. This morning at 4 o'clock two freight trains telescoped at Clifton, 8.

I., March 16. Governor Taft to-day received a letter of resignation of his office of United States Senator from tho non. Jonathan Chaee. It will be read to the General Assembly on Monday. Disappointed In Love. It transpires that there is quite a romance connected with the lifo of Ernest Borstel, the German who committed suicide in tho rear of the Journal building, Friday night. He had quite a number ot friends in the city, who oliered to take charge of his remains. He was born in Heidelburg. Germany, and his widowed mother, who has some wealth, still lives there. Several years ago, after receiving his share of his father's estate, Borstel came to this country, and engaged in the grocery business at Phillippi, N.J. A 3ear and a half ago he made a visit to his home in Germany, ana on the voyage back became acquainted with Carrie Kennirs, a seventeen-year-old girl of a good family. t in Cleveland, O. In a short time thev were engaged, but on account of the objection of the girl's parents the engagement was broken off. Later, it was clandestinely renewed, and a day in last August was fixed for the marriage ceremony. Borstel appeared at the girl's homo on that day, but he found that shef six weeks before, had become tho wife or Charles Kcich, of Cleveland. He persuaded tho newly-mado bride toelono witnhim, but she returned to her husband in a few days. Distracted, Brostel left Cleveland, after attempting to commit suicide, and, wandering over tho country, reached this city a few weeks before Christmas. For a while ho stopped with William Myers, on East New York street, a half-brother of tho girl to whom he was engaged, but later ho went to No. 05 East New York street, where he made his home at the time of his death. He has a wealthy brother in Texas, and his friends 6av Borstel himself owned a fine farm in that State. The last time ho appeared at his boarding-hoise he said ho was expecting $1,100 from his homo in Germany. The Vlcksburg Survivors. A well-attended meeting of the members of the executive committee of the Vicksburg Survivors' Association resident in this city was held at Governor Ho vey's rooms, at tho New Dcnisou, Saturday night, to arrange for themeetlngof the association on the 22d of May next. The Gov

ernor was elected chairman of the committee, with Charles W. Brown secretary. A committee, consisting of tho Governor, and comrades Brown, Ruckle, Thompson, Waugh and Miller, was directed to Issue an address to the survivors, giving the details of the proposed reunion. R03IANCE AND REALITY. rhotos of a Pretty Young Girl and the Scheme of Shrewd Sharpers. Chicago News. During the balmy days of last September two Frenchmen, who gave the names of Marseilles an Clairemont and George rottiere, and Louise Gallower, a gross and homely woman who weighed about hve hundred pounds, rented rooms of Mrs. Albert Decamp, at No. 16 South Green street. They represented that they were artists, and that the madame, whose nom do guerre was Paulino Meller, was really the wife of Pottiere. They had not occupied the rooms more than a day or two when they began to receive by mail as many as forty or fifty let ters, accompanied by photographs, each day. Th(se, they told the laudlady, wero in- response to their advertisements for pictures to enlarge, but Mrs. Decamp noticed that the photos were invariably of men, never a woman or a child apparently desiring; to bo "enlarged" in crayon or other 6t ie oi art. The explanation of this is an advertise ment which appeared in numerous country papers signed by Pauline Meller, in which she described herself as young and charming and anxious to marry. A lew days later recisterea letters began to arrive, and the landladv thought her lodgers must be doing a "very thriving business. Two weeks ago fottiere and tho woman left for New Orleans and Dn Clairemont, who represented himself as the business manager, although tho letters were.all addressed to Pauline, remained behind. The sequel to tho story was told yesterday by- a letter from a German resident of Brooklyn, N. l ., who says he answered tho ad" of the matrimoniall v-inclined Pauline. arid in reply received a photo of a beautiful girl and a heart-rending 6tory of hardship and privation which moved his soul to pity. Gazincr on the nicturo and brood in or over the sorrows and misfortunes of the sapposed lovelv original, his ardent naturo asserted itself and he determined to marry the young girl if on further correspondence the syren should develop as many graces of mind as she evidently nad of person. To relieve her more immediato and pressing necessities he at once forwarded $10 by reg istered mail, and to this day, like probably hundreds of others, he is waiting for an acknowledgement of the receipt of the money. it is said that tne laav never wrote tho letters, but that one of her companions, who is dexterous with the pen, indited tho amatory epistles which brought in such a prolific crop of shekels. Inquiry at the postoffice yesterday developed the fact that there is in the Chicago postonice a regular stack of registered letters addressedto Pauline Meller, which Mr. Da Clairemont is most anxious to handle. This the authorities will not allow, aud have ordered the whole bundle forwarded to New Orleans to an address supplied by tho lady herself. A MARRIAGE ON TAMPA BAY. The Duke of Sutherland's New House and Home in Florida. Tarpon Springs Letter In Boston Transcript. On Monday, the 4th day of March, there were two weddings in the pretty little Episcopal chapel at Dunedin. First there was married the rector, Rev. Mr. Knowles, to a charming English girl, Rt. liev. Bishop "Weed officiating. Then came the marriage of George William Granville Leverson Gower and Mary Caroline Blair, Rev. Mr. Knowles, assisted by the bishop, officiating. And pray, 1 think I hear you say, of what interest to us can be a marriage in south Florida. Histl good people, do not speak too loudlv, for le it known that George "William Granville Leverson Gower is none other than his Grace, the Duke of Sutherland, and Mary Caroline Blair is the lady who, to put it as mildly as possible, has been his friend for the past two or threo years. It is very wrong in me, I doubt not, to write of this marriage, for the Duke is a sensitive person, and not so very long since, on the occasion of the opening of the Hotel Sutherland, (which hotel by the way is now a pile of ashes) Jan. 3,1 was approached delicately, and implored not to write of that opening as a ball, because the Duke and Mrs. Blair wero present, and the Duke being in mourning lor the late duchess, and quite out of society (for that reason, of course) would not for all the wealth of the Indies that it should be reported that he was at a balL I respected the poor man's feeling's, as who would not respect grief shown so touchingly, tor even as tho embassador extraordinary laid the. case before me his Grace was promenading the grand corridors with his friend npon his arm. and I touched very lightly upon the ducal preence. But do not misunderstand me. I was reporting for a Southern paper, whose editor, on that particular occasion, wished to cater to the wishes of certain persons, and it was for that reason that I avoided expressing tho sentiments of the majority on a subject of so mo interest I said not hit g. But tho former beautiful and gentle duchess has been dead a little over thrcemonths now ; we are to infer that the period of mourning is past, and the present Duchess of Sutherland is, in Western parlance, in our midst Thero was some attempt at a wedding a la mode ceremony in the church, luncheon or breakfast at the hotel. The Duke, Mrs. Blair and Miss Blair drove down to Dunedin on Sunday; on Monday their few hangers-on followed them.

goiDg to the other extreme, appeared in a pair of black trousers quite magnificent as to breadth of Icl. The bride voro a cream-colored runrs-veilingr, a dress somewhat tho worse lor wear, if I am to believo the remarks of some who wero present. Miss Blair stood up with her mother, and Mr. Knight gave the bin shin 2 bride away, that is (exciieo tho dreadful slanpr he would have dono it if the New York World had not taken that task out of everybody's hauds nome two years a go. However, m a clerical sense, Mr. Knig The Duke's diet it cavo away the bride. md prepared and taken to Dunedin tho cold meats, pasties, etc., that furnished forth the wedding least, ami chainpaime flowed like water. There were present a few invited guests, and I fear eome of those guests will boast until tho close of their lives that they were at tho Duke's wedding. 1 have not been proud of the proximity of the Duke of .Sutherland this winter, and so have written nothing of his household nor himself, lint this same household furnishes such a text for a sermon that now, that all is over, and tho Duke has done what he could to clear the name of tho woman who has been his guest so many years, perhaps you would like a glimpse of them all. I am not a good word-painter, but only write simple fact. This particular peer of England is rather tall and slim, of fresh color, and with nothing in look or bearing to show gentle blood. Tho new duchess is abundant as to quality, but decidedly of coarse texture; a tall, fleshy, black-haired woman, in whom one looks in vain for the attractions that would drive a man mad and make him forsake home, wife and country for her sake. The daughter of tho duchess, Mi6s Blair, is but a child, a girl of some fourteen voars, perhaps; uninteresting one must call her. But what do you care, or what do I caro for theso English people, who have perhaps been made the target of as many false reports as true! Not a whit, It is for my own country people I care. I care that the name of American is no longer a proud one for some of us to bear, because some Americans are willing to suffer any degradation, accept any slight, if only they can murmur Your Grace!" I have seen women who have passed by those of their own country with averted eyes and with dresses held iust a bit one side, do humiliating things, that they inight be allowed to know the woman who. rightfully or wrongfully has been accused of some sad things. I know that at that wedding breakfast there were people who would no more have attended the wedding of the poor and lowly under 6uch circumstances than I would take in my ungloved hand live coals. I know it because 1 have seen them tried, yet they call themselves honored sons, and this is what Americans are coming to. To fall down and worship rank, to allow a man with a title to do anything, and yet to bo the first to cast a rough, rough stone at any of their humbler neighbors who may step aside, just a little bit, from the narrow path. NYE AND RILEY'S MODESTY. The Two Lecturers Subject to Acute Fits of Stage Embarrassment. Philadelphia North American. It is a well-established fact that some of the most prominent men and women on the stage when they first face their audiences are seized with such dread spells of embarrassment or stage fright that their work becomes absolutely painfuL Men and women who have trod the boards for years have been known to lose their power of speech and flee in dire confusion in the wings. Anyhow the other night Bill Nye. Poet Riley and Kichard Malcolm Johnston, the deep-voiced story writer, 6at in a box at the Academy. 'I never go on the stage without experiencing that awful fear known as stago fright," said Mr. Johnston. "But it soon wears off." "Oh, I know what it is." answered Nye, rubbing his hand over his hairless dome. 'Been there, too, eh!" "Well, I should say so." "Did you aver get badly rattled!" "No. I iind, however, it's best to forget the audience and go right ahead." "Well, maybe I don't get embarrassed," said Riley, as he put on his eye-glasses. "I tremble like a leaf sometimes when I start on. When out West, I got going once on a poem and did very well, getting through a couple of stanzas in good shape. Suddenly I caught a face in the audience, the words slipped from my memory, and I was in a plight. I tried to think of them, but couldn 60 I rushed wildly off the stage." Deadly Natural Gases. Walter Weed reports to Science tho discovery of a deadly gas spring in Yellowstone Park; a fair rival of tho Death Valley of Java, which is atributed to tho noxious power of the npas tree. Thero is also a story of a similar valley in California, perhaps entirely apocryphal. The exhalation of carbonic gas in this case seems to have killed squirrels and other small creatures. Where it rises through a small creek it causes an appearance of boiling, although the watr is quite cold. Moving further up the gulch the ordors intensify, and where the scoop of the valley begins in sulphurous rocks. Mr. Weed found a freshly dead silver-tin grizzly without a wound, and a companion quite decomposed. Nearby were' four more bears and the bones of an elk, with dead rodents and inKertM. No hi ffna of violence could be dis covered in anv of these cases. It is siinpl v . a V-shappeu neaa oi a guicn where at times gaseous exhalations accumulate so as to be deadly. It will not form a favorite resort for visitors to the park.

Cruisers Can Be Constructed Quickly, bat Guns and Carriages Take Tlenty of Time; "Washington Special to Brooklyn Eajfle. General Tracy got his first big surprise) to-day. lie had sent a dispatch to the Union iron-works, at t?an Francisco, asking how soon the cruiser Charleston would bo ready for a sea trial, and got a reply that sho would be in readiness in about three weeks. Tho inquiry was made for the purpose of getting definite information as to when tho vessel could be put in commission, if tho government had urgent need for her, and, as no emergency is apt to happen in threef weeks, the answer of the contractors was entirely satisfactory. But the surprise came when the General 6ent for Commodore Si card, chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, and asked him-artj.out tho Charleston's armament. Sicard hemmed aud hawed at a great rate and finally confessed that it "would tako sometime, if not longer." Ho tried to givotho general impression that the vessel might be armed with a temporary battery of old guns now ou hand if bhe were absolutely needed to go to sea inside of six mouths, but did not succeed in carrying conviction with his remarks. The truth of the matter is that the Charleston, under the most favorable circumstances, could not be put in shape for action before Oct. 1. Sho is to cany eight six-inch guns in her main battery. There are at present six of these guns at the Annapolis proving ground, and though four of them were intended for tho Fetree, they; could all bo sent to the Charleston in an emergency; but as tho construction of the gun carriages has not kept pace with the manufacture of the guns, thero arc not carriages available for all or them at present. Even after these guns and their carriages are finally on tho vessel much time will be required to nlace them in position, so that even if the Charleston had been tried and accepted, it would bo still somo months before sho could, under the most favorable circumstances, be put in fighting trim and sent to Samoa or any other point. The gun circles are not even designed, it is understood, and the rifles could not be mounted in less than six months. Even after the guns are tested (and in testing they may fail) it will take over a month to get them to San Francisco. The General has found a big old mare's nest right in the Ordnance Department, and nooody will wonder ii' he cleans it out without much ceremony. But Sicard seems to have a big pull. Secretary Whitney reprimanded hira several times and once seriously looked about for another ordnance chief. He could find none who could compare with Sicard in gunnery knowledge. Sicard is better versed on the subject thau anyone else in the navy, but he seems to be unfortunate in the practicaldetails of his office, as evidenced by the trouble with tho Atlanta's gun carriage. e The President Pro Tern.' Story. Kln?6ton Freeman. Tho inauguration of President Harrison was the topic of conversation on Saturday of a number of men in tho Kingston postoffice. One man startled the others by remark: "Do you know that I once sat in the chair of the presiding ofiicer of the Senate! You need not look so astonished; I did, and I presided, too." "The deuce you did! chorused several voices. "How was that!" "I was a member of a Union regiment. It was somewhere in 'C4. We were near Washington, and I and member of the regiment pot a pass to see tho Capitol. We walked up the steps and went nosing around until wo got into a big room with desks and chairs in it. I thought I had seen a picture that looked like that room, and I says: 'Gosh! thia is the Senate room, sure as you are alive, and not a soul in it but ourselves. Say, "Bob," I'm coinjrto sit in the President's chair.' 'Bob' said I musn't; I would get arrested bv the provost and put in the old Capitol. But I went straight up and got in tho chair. Gosh ding it, but it was a nice chair. I picked up the mallet, rapped on tho table, and said I, 'Senator "Bob," cows to order 'Bob,7 come to order. I Baid, I hereby proclaim that this war shall bo prosecuted to tho bitter end.' 'Bob1 seconded it, and it wai passed without a dissenting voice. Then I adjourned the Senate sine die. and we left just in time to clear a file of soldiers belonging to the provost in the entrance way. 'Bob' and I, when wo got back to the regiment, told the boys how wo had run tho United States Senate, and we got the reputation of being tho biggest true-stretchers in the regiment." m m The Administration Religion. Washington SpemL Tho Harrisons are nearer Sabbatarians than anv people that have been in tho White ltouso for a generation. The President would not himself open his Sunday mail or allow Private Secretary Halford to do it. 1 tat her remarkable, every member of the Cabinet is a Presbyterian exrept Secretary Proctor, who is an Episcopalian, and Secretary Kusk. who some say in a Druid, others a Buddhist and others etili a disciple of Confucius. The Difference. Baltimore American. The first appointments mado by President Cleveland four years ago caused almost universal condemnation. Those mado ho far by President Harri-ou are classed as "all good men." This is the differenco between a statesman and a politician for chief magistrate. Tun honest public sentiment of the peoplo of the United Mats is unanimously in favor of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrnp. Tho druggists pronounce it to be tho only standaid cough remedy.
