France's Exhibit Will Depend Upon Ameri- can Tariff Legisiation—Berlin Exhibit. Senator Tirard of France, who as minister of commerce in 1889 was the official head of the | exposition of that year, when asked whether he thought many French exhibitors would make displays at the Chicago world’s fair said: “That depends, in my opinion, upon the atti- tude of America toward tariff legislation. If, after March 4, it becomes evident that the severities of the present tariff may be mollified and our merchants see that it will be to their advantage to go to Chicago in 1893, you may be sure that France will make a grand display there. Reasons of sentiment and trade make this certain, but this tariff obstacle is not to be scouted.” When asked whether the French government wonld be represented officially at Chicago Sen- ator Tirard raid: “Certainly. ‘The chamber of ‘eputies is sure to appropriate a good sum for this purpose, and when the measure comes up in the senate’ it will meet with no op) ‘Then we will send over a creditable dclegution, as we did to Philadelphia in 1876. I may adi in a general way that official circles alway | keep in mind the ‘prompt and generous way in which the Washington government came to our support in 1889. And if there was any danger of this being forgotten I should be the first to remind our government of the fact. But I as- sure you that the most friendly fecling toward Chicago exists in high governmental circles here. position. PLENTY OF TIME. One of M. Tirard’s colleagues, Senator Krantz, who was director-general of the Paris exposi- | tion of 1878, Chicago conid be ready.in 1893, He suid in reply: “Why, of course.

A committee of Berlin merchants, appointed to consider the question, yesterday decided in favor of making an exhibit at the fai: The committee also decided to request Baron von Berlepsch. minister of commerce and industry, to nominate an imperial commissioner for the world’s fair, whose duty it shall be to obtain all the facilities possible for a proper exhibit and to arrange for the conveyagee to Chicago of the goods the German merchants send for ex- hibition purposes, and to make the other ar- rangements necessary for the successful carry- out of the German merchants’ part in (EEE lower ex! ‘Minneapolis linn.) census conspirators, yesterday plead selty.

The “drawing-room” held by Queen Victoria yesterday, at Buckingham Palace, was notable for the unusually large and brilliant attend- ance. This state of affairs, undoubtedly, was due to the presence at the drawing-room of the Empress Frederick of Germany, and of the de- sire upon the part of courtiers and others to be presented at Buckingham Palace upon this oc- casion as a token of sympathy with the empress after her recent unpleasant experience in Parie. Every member of the roral family now in England made it a point to be present, and as the court is outof mourning. the drawing-room held yesterday may be said to have been one of the most snecessful ever seen in Buckingham Place. The approaches to the pslace for hours before the gates were opened were lined with long rows of carriages, containing mem- bers of the diplomatic corps, army and navy officers, cabinet ministers, ail in full dress, together with ladies in the’ most rich and be witching of court dresses, their fair persons, in many cases, fairly blazing with diamonds. THE PARADE OF NOTABLES. The Mall, Birdcage walk, Constitution hill, St. James Park and other localities in the neighborhood of the palace were crowded with pedestrians, who bad come from all parts of Fondon and from the country in order "to wit- ness this great parade of notables as they awaited their turn to enter the large courtyard which fronted the queen's palace. The public, when a prominent and popular personage was recognize in the line, broke out into more or loss hearty cheers, the degree of enthusiasm being measured apparently by the height of the reenguized personages’ hold upon popular favor. “The Prince and Princess of Wales drove in state from Marlborough house down the Mall, past St. James palace to Buckingham palace, ‘being greeted with hearty. honest cheers from the queen's loyal subjects, who have always had and, apparently, always will have, a warm corner in their hearts for the jovial, good-hearted heir apparent. APPEARANCE OF THE QUEEN. It was fully 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the queen, amid a truly royal scene, was, with much ceremony and in almost deadly silence, ushered into the immense drawing room of the palace, becoming the center point. upon which thonsands of pairs of eves were centered. Im- mediately behind the queen cnme the Prince and Princess of Wales and the other members » members of the dip- lomatic corps presented to the queen included the United States minister, the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln: Mr. Henry White, first secretary of | States legation. and Mrs. McCormick, and Mr. G. Wurts, first secretary of the United States legation in St. Petersbur; THE DEBUTANTES WERE MANY. It was generally acknowledged that the number of debutantes exceeded in numbers any drawing room held since the famous jn- bilee drawing room. The Indies’ costumes were. as a rule, chiefly decorated in the most charming fashion with «pring flower, Anothe= feature of this drawing room wus that many elderly ladies took advantage of the queen's recently granted permission to that effect and wore high bodices, which contrasted somewhat strangely with the countlesslow-necked dresses which graced the white shoulders of th younger ladies present. The debutantes were dressed _in white silks or sutins and their chaperones in colored silks orsatins, Among the chaperones yellow was the predominating color. Mrs. Heury White, howe rect contrast to the prevail: ing colors, but did not suffer by it. She was dressed in a court robe of black armure silk, with jet ornaments, black ostrich tips in her hair and long biack kid gloves. ——— +00 ISS COLUMBIA.’ To Be Presented by “The Mask and Wig Club” of the University of Pennsylvania, For several years the most notable of the fashionable events in Philadelphia, apart from social entertainments given by individuals, have been the elaborate and wholly remarkable productions of musical burlesques by the dra- matic organization of the University of Penn- sylvania, the Mask and Wig Club. Almost eighty students have taken part on each of these occasions, portraying both male and female characters, and giving in the most com- plete and comprehensive manner—with great elegance of costume and appropriate scenery, supplemented by the services of # large orchestra—performances of much spectacular beauty, with a profusion of solos, concerted music,” choruses, 4c., and a constant succession of striking ‘and attractive feat- ures, including an iutinite variety of stage duneing, from the seul and skirt dancing to the ‘clog step und bullet. with premiers, coryphees. &c., and nurverous marches, tab- leaux and mechanical effects. The presenta- tions of the Maxk and Wig have always been given in one of the lnrgest theaters in Phila- delphia, and the demand for reats has invariab!y exceeded the capacity of the ‘auditorium. For the pleasure of their many friends in Washing- ton the members of the Mask and Wig have consented to give a single performance of their new and amusing musical burlesque, “Misa Colombia,” at the Academy of Music on the evening of Saturday, April 11, at 8 o'clock. ‘This entertainmen; will be on the same ‘mag- nificent seule as those which have been so eini- nently successful in Philadelphia. ‘The xeventy- five members of the Mark and Wig who will appear upon the stage, the orchestra, the mili- tary stage band, the wig makers, the costumers, the scenery, the mechanical appliances and the rsons t’ operate them, with hundreds of wndsome and effective’ costumer, will be brought by special train from Philadelphia at great exvense.

The liberal party offer the people in the present election the single plank of unre- stricted reciprocity with the United States. | This means, so far as Canada is concerhed, a complete obliteration of the customs line that now shuts out American manufactures from half acontinent. Of course, the free admis- sion of American manufactures into Canada | and the continuance of a duty upon English | goods, a8 proposed by the liberals, me: is- | imination against Great Britain. The possi- | bility of 40 per cent of the Dritish empire tax- ing the manufuctures of the other 60 per cent and admitting those of a hated commercial rival free is’ a circumstance of great signiti- cance and of very far-reaching importance. It is this which makes the movement in Canada appear disloyal to the mother country. The | tories make the most of it and Sir Jolin Mac- donald boldly charges that “unrestricted re | procity” if adopted means nothing but the | tinal annexation of Canada by the United States. | “UNCLE SAM” IN THE CARTOONS. | Agreat fenture of the campaign, which has | just ended, has been the cartoon. it has never been used with much effect previous to this | struggle, and it ix one-sided now. ‘The con- servative or government side has all there is of this. ‘The cartoons always bring Uncle Sam or | the American flag into ridicule. One of these represents Laurier, the great liberal leader, sitting on an egg that is lubeled “Annexation to United States.” Uncle Sam is standing by ask- ing Erastus Wiman if he thinks the egg will hatch. Erastus ways the hen is clucking and j he thinks the egg will hatch. This shows how much bigger the annexation issue looks up here | than it ever will to citizens of Pennsylvania for | instance. | Another cartoon represents Mr. Blaine, Mr. |Wiman ant Mr. Laurier chasing a young woman, who ix thinly attired for this latitude. | She is labeled Canada, The gentlemen uamed jare almost within grasp of the skirt of her robe. ‘The companion piece shows that she gains the Canadian inclosure. The British lion _ come to her relief, and as she falls from x- a tion Rir John Macdonald appears at the te with two big revolvers. One is labeled Loyalty,” the other “Prosperity,” and at the sight of these weapons Wiman falls on his knees, Laurier seampers and Mr. Blaine falls down. ‘These cartoons are posted up ull over |the country, and the explanations are in English and French, ‘The liberals have no car- toons and no songs. delete echt ae as Conspiracy Discovered in Hawati. A prominent Honoluln merchant who ar- rived in San Francisco on the steamer yester- day brings news of a conspiracy formed by Col. Ashford to seize the Hawaiian government and make the queen a mere figurehead. This scheme was similar to the one engaged in by Wilcox four years ago. The American minister learned the fuli details of Ashford’s scheme and arranged to have marines landed from the Mohican and Iroquois in case any attack | should be mad) on the government house. ‘Th | uncertainty of political affairs on the island is | injuring business and causing great uneasiness among the conservative element. chad Ss ‘Terribly Injured in a Boiler Explosion, A boiler in the dye house of James MeCombe, Albany, N. ¥., exploded yesterday, went through the upper floorand roof and over house- tops and landed in a yard 15 feet square 300 feet distant.
