Representative Blair of New Hampshire has introduced a resolution in the House prcposing an amendment to the Constitu- tlon of the United States prohibiting the liquor traffic in the United States. The resolution is introduced “by request of the general officers of the World's and the Na- tional Woman’s Christian Temperance Union,” and as the legal expression of the pelyglot petition just presented to the President. ‘fo Investigate Pcllution of Water Supplics. Speaker Crisp has presented to the House a memorial from Major Charles Smart of the surgeon general's office, United States army, communicating a resolution of the American Public Health Association in favor of the bill introduced in the House by Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, authorizing the appointment of a commission to inves- tigate the pollution of water supplies where such pollution affect the sanitary condition of the people of more than one state. Capt. Luhn Retired. Capt. G. L. Luhn, fourth infantry, hav- ing reached the age limit, has been placed on the retired list of the army. Fears for Light Houses, Officials in the light house board express fears that many casualties will occur to ght houses in the vicinity of Chesapeake and Delaware bays. A dispatch states that the Old Plantation light house, Maryland, near Cape Charles, had been abandoned by its keeper. A light house tender has been sent to the place, but it is not believ- ed she can reach the house on account of the ice. Indian War Pensions. A favorable report has been ordered by the House committee on pensions on the bill which gives to all survivors of the Indian wars prior to 1832 and from 1842 to 1836, a pension of $8 a month, for thirty days’ service or longer. The Pension Appropriation Bul. ‘The conference report on the pension ap- propriation bill has been accepted by the Senate. It adds three amendments to the measure. One amendment repeals the law providing that no pensions shall be paid non-residents who are not citizens of the United States*except for actual disabilities incurred in the service; the second requires the examining surgeons to state the rating which they think applicants are entitled to; the third fixes $6 per month as the low- est rate of pension to be paid. To Prevent Collisions at Sen. The Senate has agreed to a bill postpon- ing the time of taking effect of the revised international regulations for preventing collisions at sea, which had been fixed for March 1, 1895, which contains a preamble reciting that while Great Britain, on April 25, 1894, communicated to this government that no time should be lost in carrying the regulations into effect, announced to this government on January 16, 1895, that the British government found it impossible un- til parliament had been consulted, to fix a date for bringing the regulations into force, and earnestly requesting this government to consent: to a temporary postponement of their enforcement. As it is desirable that the regulations should be put in force by the maritime powers simultaneously, the time was postponed to a subsequent date to be fixed by the President by procla- mation. The “Constitution” to Stay at Ports- mouth. The New Englanders object to the old ship Constitution being brought to Wash- ington. The item in the naval appropriation bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to use the $8,000 appropriated lest year for the repair of the old Constitution, now at the Portsmouth navy yard, toward the repair and transfer of said vessel to the Wash- ington navy yard, was stricken out yester- day on a point of order made by Mr. Ever- ett of Massachusetts. —_—___+- e+__. HONORS TO MINISTER GRAY. His Funeral Imposing by Military Display of the Mexican Government. The State Department has received an account of the funeral of the late United States Minister Gray in the City of Mexico in the following telegram from our charge, Mr. Butler: “City of Mexico, February 17, 1895.—The funeral of Minister Gray, attended by hun- dreds of the American colony and leading Mexican citizens, under very moving condi- tions, was also solemnized with military honors rendered by the Mexican govern- ment. Mr. Mariscal assured Consul Gen- eral Crittenden and myself that Minister Gray had received the highest military honors ever accorded to a foreigner in Mexico. A guard of honor sentineled the remains last night, and troops escorted them to the depot. President Diaz, ac- companied by his cabinet, the personnel of this legation, the United States consul gen- cral and the entire diplomatic corps in full uniform, walked to the railroad station, a mile distant, through heat and dust, and on its departure the funeral train was dis- Minister Mariscal and the other cabinet officers made especially touching references to the loss to Mexico of such a staunch friend. I conveyed to the presidential party the ap- preciative thanks of the bereaved family, and the assurance that the graceful and spontaneous courtesy of the Mexican gov- ernment would endear it to the American people and government.” Secretary Gresham has returned thanks for this extraordinary manifestation of re- spect. —_———____+o+_.

Mrs. Hearst’s Musicale and the Wag- gaman Reception Largely Attend- ed—Other Attractive Events. Last night was a delightful one socially. Some lucky ones had the choice of the large receptions, but those who had either a bid to Mrs. Hearst’s or Mrs. Wagga- man’s were certain of a pleasant evening. The Secretary of Agriculture and Miss Morton entertained at dinner President and Mrs. Cleveland last night. The small din- ing room at the Portland was decked with red roses and lilies. The ceiling was |canopied in green, the mirrors framed in asparagus garlands, in which tiny electric lights shone like stars. Red ribbons were stretched from the chandelier to the cor- ners cf the room, and red carnations in great numbers decked the table. A large basket of them was in the center, and four great bouquets flanking it at the corners, and the tapers in the candelabras burned under red shades. Corsage bouquets arid boutonnieres were of carnations and the name cards were carnations also, on the stem of which the name was stamped. Altogether the entire effect was gay and cheerful, and calculated to put everybody in the happiest frame of mind. The chairs occupied by the President and Mrs. Cleve- land bore little silver tablets marked with the names of the distinguished guests. The chairs have been old keepsakes in the family of Miss Morton, and now will be doubly revered. All the cabinet was rep- resented except the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carlisle, who are in New York. Mrs. Bissell, who is still suf- fering from a bad cold, could not attend. Mrs. Perrine and Mrs. Manning completed the company of sixteen. This was the last of the cabinet dinners in honor of the President this season, and charmingly closed a series which has been of great pleasure to all concerned. Mrs. Hearst's reception and musicale last night was, as all her hospitalities are, suc- cessful from every point, of view. Her beautiful home was fragrant with the choicest flowers. In the ball room the music gallery was ornamented by a num- ber of stringed instruments, all interest- ing relics in their way. The center one was a harp, very richly inlaid; an old man- dolin, a hundred-year-old Benedid guitar, a Page violin, very old and very oddly shaped; another, once owned by the Wash- ington family, and a banjo that was used by the son of the hostess in his college days. Bright green ribbons and festoons of American beauty roses were twined in and out among them, and made the unique collection much admired. Mrs. Hearst re- ceived in the small drawing room, richly and becomingly gowned in white satin and black velvet, and had with her her house guests, Mrs. Apperson and Miss Peck of California, Miss Henrietta Anthony of Bos- ton and Mrs. Thornburgh Cropper of Lon- don. As many as possible of the guests were seated in the ball room facing the artists, and the rest were comfortably ac- commodated in the dining room and other apartments adjoining. Mme. Lilian Nor- dica and Monsieur Pol. Plancon gave a number of songs, in which their splendid voices were heard to excellent advantage. Among the guests were Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, Secretary and Miss Herbert, Senator Brice and family, the British am- bassador and family, Mr. and Mrs. Henry White, Mr. and Mrs. Kohisaat, Senator and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Stewart, Mrs. Field, Capt. and Mrs. Rodgers, Miss May Wiil- jams, Dr. Deale, Mr. and Mrs. Henry May, Senator and Mrs. Hale, Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, Ambassador Patenotre, Miss Lockwood, Mr. and Mrs. Endicott, Mrs. Louise’ Dean Speer, Mr. and Mrs. Blair Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Calderon Carlisle, Mr. and Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. D.

A large company enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Waggaman’s home at the reception given by them in honor of the papal ablegate, Monsignor Satolli. The dining rooms were decked with yellow, jonquils being the flower. A corner of the conservatory was draped with yel- low silks and the ceiling hung. with lan- terns. The host and hostess, with Monsig- nc~ Satolli and Bishop Keane, received in the drawing room. Mrs. Eugene Ives, daughter of the host, was on from New York for the occasion, and, with Mrs. Will- iam Waggaman, also assisted in receiving. A number of the faculty of the Catholic University were present, with others of the Catholic clergy of the city, as well as a representative gathering from official, resi- dent and art circles of the city. Mrs. Myron M. Parker entertained at a yellow luncheon yesterday Mrs. Crosby 8. Noyes, Mrs. Sowers, Mrs. S. H. Kauffmann, Mrs. Thomas Wilson, Mrs. L. B. Webb, Mrs. B. H. Warner, Mrs. James G. Payne, Mrs. Burdette, Mrs. Theodore W. Noyes, Mrs. Hills and Miss Devendorf. The cen- terpiece was of jonquils, and yellow ribbons extended from it to the corners, where the corsage bouquets were grouped together. Pretty water-color sketches were given the Jadies as souvenirs.

St. Aloysius Church was the scene of a very pretty wedding yesterday evening. The contracting parties were Miss Annie L. McGrann and Prof. Patrick R. Hilliard. The church was crowded with the friends of the young couple, and the high altar was decorated with flowers an¥ lighted tapers. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Gillespie, assisted by Rev. Fathers Dolan, Burns and O'Kane. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Henry McGrann, was gowned in lavender brocade, white lace and velvet, and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. Miss Sarah J. McGrann, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor, and was prettily attired in pink silk and ruby velvet and carried La France roses. The bridesmaids were Miss Olga Matterne, in pale green silk and white lace; Miss Mary A. Sweeney, pale blue silk and white lace; Miss Annie Hickey, white silk and lace. Bernard J. Foley acted as best man, while the ushers were Raymond A. Hieskill, Rossa F. Downing and P. J. Walshe.

He began to fatten and is now a beautiful dimpled boy. The Emulsion seemed to supply the one thing needful. 3 Mrs. Kenyon WILt1ams, May 21,1894. Cave Springs, Ga.

In a special report to the State Depart- ment upon the production of German beet root sugar, United States Consul Muth at Magdeberg explains the persistence of the Germans in trying to secure the removal of our discriminating duty upon it. He shows that even this small duty of 1-10 of cent per pound means a great deal to the Germans, for the prosperity of vast in- terests depends upon @ considerable ex- tension of their sugar market. He says the German beet sugar industry Is passing through a serious crisis. There has been a great increase in production, from 24,- 500,000 hundredweight in 1892-3 to 27,500,000 dredweight in 1893-4. This year the gS will reach 36,000,000 hundredweignt. Prices are falling below cost of production. ‘All but the largest factories found the bal- ance on the wrong side. The present sea- on witnesses greater loss. The beet crop vas large and good, and sugar is declining. Beets cannot be grown for less than 1 1-10 marks per hundredweight, and the factories now offer but 70 to 80 pfennigs. So the agriculturists also suffer. Germany must find a market abroad this year for 1,000,000 hundredweight more sugar than she ex- ported last year. Austria also has over- produced. The home consumption cannot materially increase, even with lower prices for sugar, as the heavy internal revenue tax of 2 1-8 cents per pound will prevent its rise in Germany as freely as in the United States and Great Britain. The big stock of sugar remaining on hand at the end of this year will work havoc with next year’s prices. coke eons The khedive signed a marriage contract with his favorite slave yesterday in_the presence of the Egyptian ministers.
