Representative Mason, from the committee ev commerce, has reported « bill as a Substitute for all measures which have been betore that committee relative to the rates afforded theatrical companies traveling in par- ties.

This amendment to the m- torstate law would not only permit theatrical Or other companies traveling to secure from the railroads special rates, but would give farmers, merchants, or any society the benefit of special rates where seven or more travel from and to the same point. The com mittee calls atieution to the fact that under the pro- ed bill any person may travel with his fam- Uy or friends on the 1,000-mile ticket and use it for any ten people together, while the theatrical people do not have that benefit. ‘The proposed amendinent, the committee savs, is notsolely im the interesto? the theatrical companies and no more a benefit to them than the pepe public, bat will be of immense LeneSt to other parties in all walks of lite.

Depew, who is still at Almond’s Hotel. “Excuse me keeping my hat on,” said the representative American, sitting down in the smoking room; “but | am a present illustration of the fact that when a bald-headed Yankee sits near an open window, as I did the other evening for an hour anda half ata suffocating reception, the Brit- ish climate gets in its fine work and the bald- headed Yankee is laid up with a severe cold. That's what kept me from appearing the other evening at the parliamentary pence banquet and delivering a pyrotechnic speech advising blood-thirsty Europe to imitate the lion and the lamb method of our American republic, In view of subsequent events I am just glad I did not deliver the above eulogy on our western superiority. With all the republics from Mexico to Patagonia busily engaged cutting one an- other's throats only a week later 1 think that even Englishmen might have seen the joke.” THE ARGENTINE REVOLT. “But seriously, Mr. Depew. what is the funda- mental trouble with these South and Central Americans?” “suppose it is due to two things,” was the reply. “First, to the hot blooded character of the Latin races; and, second, to the fact that development has been abnormaily rapid in the | Argentine Republic. For instance, during the last ten yeurs in immigration, in building rail- ways, in development of industries and in other respects progress has actually been more rapid than in the Uuited States, where we have learned the lesson they have still to learn, of keeping cool despite the giddy rush of affairs, ‘The mania of speculation has swept them off a sure foothold. The currency, inflated beyond meusure, has resulted in injustice and oppres- sion, and the people who have the burden to bear tind it too heavy and throw it off with violence and bloodshed. In the United States We are more masters of ourselves and would have remedied a similar state of affairs by wiping out the party in power. But the Soutl Americans, whenever stirced up toa certain point, preter the sword and bayonet to the peaceful ballot and do their wiping out on the spot.” “Do you regard these revolutions as a blow at repubiican institutions?” “Not atali, but simply a blow at arotten financial system.” THE BEHRING SEA TROUBLE, “And what about the Bebring sea complicu- tions?” ince Ihave been in London,” answered Mr. Depew, “I have taken great pains to obtain the views on this question of prominent glish political leaders, most of whom 1 have met socially, Ihave talked with representa- tive men of all shades of opinion, from the most uncompromising tory to tho wildest liberal, and I tind them ali disposed to regard the Behring sea question as having little real importance and not at all worth the fuss the newspapers have tried to make over it, Alllook with ee Upon the idea that any such petty difficulty could lead to a serfous misunderstand- ing between two nations bound together by such tremendous ties of blood and common interest as the United States and Great Brita. It is true that some of the opposition in parlia- ment would fain make capital out of the in- cident against Lord Salisbury,on the ground that in the negotiation he has ttespassed upon the royal prerogative, but that is merely a campaign maneuver.

I struck them both on the forehead and both were unconscious when Ileft them. The trouble grew outof some money matters. I asked Mra.

The engagement is announced of Miss Kath- erine Bailey of Philadelphia to Count de Sibourg of France. The expectant countess is the daughter of Joseph 7.

The Buenos Ayres Rebels Capitulate Unconditionally. The following dispatch was received last night at the Argentine legation in London from the minister of finance at Buenos Ayres: “The national government, surprised by a military conspiracy plotted with the greatest secrecy, has had to face @ serious armed struggle. The government has been completely victorious. The mutincers capitulated, de- posited their arms and delivered over the arsenal and ficet. All rebellious superior officers will be dismissed and absolutely sepa- rated from service, The troops will return to quarters under the command of the officers who remained loyal to tne government. The forces mobilized by the government, which ar- rived in great numbers, are going back to their provinces. The political situation is thoroughly consolidated in the city and the whole country is quiet.” Earlier in the day the following dispatch was received from Senor Garcia: “Announce that the insurrection is com- pletely subdued. The president of the republic and the national cabinet are giving orders from the national government house. The finance minister is at liberty,” ———-ee-_____ She Drank Too Much Milk. An inordinate indulgence in fresh milk caused the death of Mary Goldsmith, a dairy maid at Holly Grove farm, near Newark, N.J.. yesterday. She was accustomed to drinking great quantities of milk before being engaged on the farm. The milk at this dairy is exceed- ingly rich, being procured from registered Al- derney cdws, ‘She woman drank the rich fluid by gallons. She died very suddenly and an autopsy was deemed necessary.

THE MINISTRY WEAK, side from Lord Salisbury himself and, per- haps, Mr. Balfour, who is developing wonder- ful power as a debater, the ministry is Painfully weak and quite lacking in men able to cope with such ieaders as Gladstone and Harcourt, As for Mr. W. H. Smith, he seems to me quite unequal to the position he holds; in fact, I cannot imagine how such a man was ever chosen leader of the house of commons,” As the conversation ran on Mr. Depew men- tioned many prominent people he had met London. He was charmed, he said, with Sir John Mallais, whose fund of reminiscences is as limitless as it is delightful. At Lady Doroth: Neville’s he met Robert Morieu and was stenck with his wonderful ability in conversation, “I had,” continued Mr. Depew, “a long talk with Gladstone one evening at a most enjoy- able luncheon where Sir William Harcourt was present.

Dr. Watkins Robert O'Connor of Lawrence, Mass., is lying on acot in Bellevue Hospital, ‘ew York, gathering stength that he may un- dergo an operation for the removal of a bullet which wounded him at the battle of Gravelotte, in the Franco-Prussian war, August 18, 1870, and which he has since carried in his body, For eighteen years after his wound had healed Dr. O'Connor felt comparatively little incon- Yenience from it and coutinued his practice. Last year, however, in getting out of arow boat he fell and struck his back against a thwart. An abcess formed and he has suffered many ills since and has been obliged to go about on crutches.

Dr. O'Connor, who is forty-five yearsold and comes of a well-known Irish faniiiy, was connected with a London hospital when the Franco-Prus- sian war broke out and went to France with the Red Cross Ambulance and Field Hospital Corps, which philanthropic Englishmen sent out. The section to which he was attached was with the Freuch troops which, under Mar- shal Bazaine, werr defending Metz. He had returned to his tent after arduoux work on the field during the bloody battle of Gravelotte and while seeking rest was wounded by what was probably a Prussian bullet, which passed through the canvas and hit him in the side. The wound somewhat resembles the one from which President Gartield died. His comrad probed unsuccessfully for the builet and the wound finally healed.

In point of fact, ® may be truthfully said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabniar statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Te Sraz on the 18th of January, 1890. Brietly ‘stated, the points upon which the That— above claim is based are se 1. The Star bas three times the cirew- Jation of any other paper in Washing= tou! 2 The Stary cirenlation in Washing= ton is double that of ali the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether! 3.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys, But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regu to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said % be in the fumily circle, While its agg fore gives Tux Stan « distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fallness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur= chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and 21.445 22,368 SEPT..25,033 22,302 OCr...2L,497 VLL7EL than by mail, ly pgate circulation there v prising business men of Waslungton, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is heid by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by weck, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS «MINTED Bi can more 6,107 5793 TOTAL £1,499 45,910 54,038 54,801 5,523 Bat it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the Year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: Ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or #223 columns ia the aggregate, being a total gam over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everydey business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {m proportion to the extent and high character 6f its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates ' tske rank with the very lowest in the country, tad to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 DITEBEST Di THES EXAMINATION {
