The scene of tho poisoned cup before the mouth of the dragon's cavo was particularly well aoted. Tho dragon, as usual, was too mnch in evidence, too much liko the dragons of tho Christmas pantomime, and carried one's mind baok to the "Black Crook" days and meth GRAND RASTER OPENING.

tilebmann Bros. OiFlugs' Elegant I1n plar of Millinery. "It boos without saying," to use a popular expression, that the ladies of Brooklyn always expect a treat when the announcements of Liebmanu BroB. AOwings' Spring millinery opening is made, and their expectations are never disappointed. Though the fashion notoB for some time have beon promising an unusual fine display of choico productions in the Easter exhibitions, the expectation of the ladies havo not been equal to the dainty models of every shape and deaign and the complete Btock of millinery noveltiea now to be seen at this store.

Evory arrangement has boen mado for the comfort and easo of tho shoppers who avail themselves of this opportunity to aolect an Easter bonnet either of Btore'a own make or from among thoir fine importations. Great changes have been carried oat in a short time, as it by fairy hands, such is tho Bceno of transformation that ono unaccustomed to visiting tho store beholds to day. No pains have been spared to mako the beautiful and artistio building known aa tho Universal resplendent with tho manufacturers' finest materials. All tho dry goods WILL HE GO OUT? Bismarck's Rumored Retirement From Office. The Beport Finds Many Believers In London Tho Yeteran Desires to Escape Re sponsibility for His Pupil's Mistakes.

By the United Press. London, March 18. The report that Prince Bismarck and his son, Count Herbert Biamarck, havo tendered thoir resignations to the Emperor and that his Majesty has acquiesced in the withdrawal of thoir ohan collor finds many believers here, though the reason for tho chancellor's sudden alteration of hie decision to rotain office until after the final adjournment of tho Labor Conferenco'is not apparent, since it is known that it waa only at the earnest solicitation of tho Kaiser that ho was persuaded to forego hia recent intention to resign forthwith. If the report bo true, it ia surmised that a fresh disagreement between the Emperor and tho ohancellor over the policy of tho former has occurred. Prince Biamarck has taken no pains to conceal hia diabolief in tho social policy of his master and it ia possible that, foreseeing its complete failure, ho is anxious to betake himself into private life before the storm breaks, in ordor that no responsibility for tho disaster may attach to him.

The rovival of tlfo anti English excitement in Lisbon in conaemionco of tho action of Acting CoiibuI Buchanan in raising tho British flag over the Shire District is everywhere regarded aa unfortunate. Tho exhibition of popular feeling against England and everything English which followed Lord Salisbury's ultimatum without doubt subsided Just iu time to prevent Portugal from getting into serious trouble, and it is tho general opinion that tho Lisbon authorities would better servo tho interests of thoir country by speedily suppressing tho idiotic frenzy ot the populace, which threatens injury to the British Legation, than by indulging in impotent official ravings against tho inevitable action of un irresistible force moanwhilo leaving irresponsible students and others to commit outrogos for which the Government must answer. It is not at all likely that Consul Buchanau has acted without authority; thereforo it may bo accepted as a foregone conclusion that the protest which Portugal has lodged against hia formal occupation of the disputed territory will meet with a reception similar to that which Lord Salisbury has given to the previous protests of tho Lisbon Govcrnmont. In all respects tho situation seems moro gravo for Portugal than at any previous stago of the controversy, and it is tho moro unfortunate that the Lisbon authorities appear to be unable to realize that fact.

THE SULLIVAN INDICTMENT. Why the Court Reversed the Casio and Quashed the Indictment. Jackson, March 18. Tho Supreme Court reversal of tho ca3e upon which John L. Sullivan was convicted of prize fighting and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and quashing of tho indictment, was based upon the two following points: That tho indictment did not show thom tho fight was pnblic aud that Kilrain fought Sullivan.

The court holds that the indictment upon which Sullivan was convicted was fatally defective. The Btatnto neither defines the offense of prize fighting nor declares what act done shall be a violation of ita provisions. The indictment docs not charge that Sullivan and Kilrain fought together and against each other, but avers that Sullivan, in pursuance of a previous appointment made to ongago in a prize fight with Kilrain for a largo sum of money, did unlawfully engago iu a prizo fight with Kilrain; did enter a ring and beat, striko and bruise the said Kilrain. The parties iu a prize fight are severally gnilty, but guilt of each muBt arise from tho joint act of two. The demurrer to tho pleas iu abatement Bhould havo been extended to the indictment and the indictment quashed.

CHICAGO'S SUBURBAN TRAINS. The Speed Fixed at Which They Are to Run Inside the City'n Limits. CnicAoo, 111., March 18. The vigorous protest of the suburban residents against the action of tho railroad companies iu recently reducing the speed of all trains to ten miles an hour or less inside tho city limits in with an ordinance enacted years ago, has had its effect. The City Council passed a new ordinance last night after a lengthy discussion.

It divides the city into three districts. Within the first district passenger trains aro allowed to run twenty milca an hour; in the second, twonty five miles, and in' the third, thirty five miles an hour.

It is proposed to extend them so as to fully cover the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Nmeteentn anu Twenty first wards, and to take in certain un TRstrietad narts of the Eighth and Twenty second wards. There is much to be said in favor of Mr.

Loach's notion that they should be coextensive with the oity. 'ine ponoy might retard building in remoter regions and work hardship in some cases, out it is a question whether it would not.be wise upon the whole. Daniel Lake. Daniel Lake will make as compotent' a Marshal as anyone likely to be willing to taice the place. Tho office makes no demand for special ability or unusual industry and Mr.

Lake has as much sense and as much knowledge of men as any of his predecessors of either party) all of whom have been overpraised, if they havo ever been called extraordinary men. The politics of the appointment will excite moro criticism than the qualities of the ap pointee. The designation of Mr. Lake is meant as a reward for his leaving the Democratic party, which ho abandoned a very littlo whilo ago merely because John Y. McKane did.

Neither tho reason, the degree, nor the duration of his Republicanism sufficed to entitle him to the marshalship, except on theory of dicker polities, and that is not the best kind of polities in the long run. Old Line Republicans will resent the unduo honoring of a recent recruit taken in trade. Democrats will resent tho distinction conferred ou a deserter. From both sets of politicians President Harrison will receive criticism and the general public will fear that, as Mr. Lake was appointed for polities, he will think that ho ought to bo more of a politician than a marshal.

Still, should ho make a good officer, the "indignation" will soon wear off. The selection, however, doesn't "sit well" at tho start. The Thirteenth Armory matter seems to have been decided to tho satisfaction of all tho members of tho Commission who unanimously participated in tho selection of the plans and of the architect to carry them out. This is a conclusion upon which to congratulate the Commission and as to which the public has reason to be pleased. Tho reputation of the architect chosen is excellent.

It is his habit to keep within the appropriations provided for public buildings and to give results which are the more liked tho moro they are subjected to the decisive test of use. Of course, the other competitors will feel a measure of disappointment, but the Eagle has no reason to doubt that the Commission has done the best for the public interest under the circumstances. The new armory of the Thirteenth will, doubtless, be a credit to the city, a pride aud a help to the organization and an asset of more value than its cost. The Eagle to day carries comprehensive reports of the observance of the anniversary of the patron saint of Ireland by tho various organizations honoring his faith aud labors in this great city. Tho reports show that the observance this year was quite as general and representative as at any previous time and the addresses were, in many cases, marked by an earnestness and an elevation of tone which those who read them will share with those who had the pleasure of listening to them.

We are sure that citizens of all shades of opinion are glad that the weather was so fine as to permit the enjoyment of the anniversary to the utmost by every one participating in it. The good order, good humor and intelligent system marking the occasions reported in to day's paper cannot be too highly commended. A long time will elapse before the pleasant assoeians of St. Patrick's day in Brooklyn in TO90 will be forgotten. PERSONAL MENTION.

"Private kSecretary at the Park "Still Alarm" at the Academy "Sweet Lav onder" at the Lee Avenue "Ras Baby" at the Brooklyn "Held by the Enemy" at Proctor's Germau Opera Yarieties. A. C. Guntor's succobs as a play writer has boon principally with the lugubrious, but dramatic "Two Nights in Rome." His first love lingors with him, and the vendetta is still hiB favorite.

He has been sido tracked more than once in the last Bix years by the success of farce comedies, and onco wrote a comedy that ho tried for two weoks at a Brooklyn theater. It was as funny as a graveyard and it failed. Whother that led him back to his old theme or not, it is known of novo readers that his "Mr. Barnos of New York" is foundod on the vendotta and has lived practically on presentation of tho Corsican idea of assassination as a proper revougo. In dramatizing the book Mr.

Guntor haB boon obliged to shorton tho work of at least ono picturesque cut throat without being ablo to obliterate him and to omit much incidental embellishment of tho story. Tomasso, foster father of Marino Paoli, ig a moro skotoh in the Play that was ably presented at tho Amphion last night. This old assassin has boen so divostod of his picturesqueness that ho is hardly moro exciting than a modorn tramp. Tho duel scene, howevor, is fttlly retained in tho drama, and so is the thrilling attempt to murder Gerard Austruther in Count Danolla's palaco, in Corsica. Of conrso Mr.

Barnes of Now York figures prominontiy through tho play, but not in tho light in which ho moves in the story. Ho is tlio orb from which tho sunshino radiates, and in the last two acts thero is too littlo of hiui. This character is played by Robert Hil Iiard, who lacks the nonchalance which the part demands, aud fails in spontaneity. He showed mercurial dash and frolic as Enid's lover, and was evidently esteemed by a largo part of the au dience, at whom ho direotod most of his acting. Emma Field did very woll with Enid, and EMo Germon as Lady Chartris filled a large place in the performance.

Emily Risl.who appearod as Marina Puoli.iis an actress of limited capabilities, out plays Marina with an intensity of feeling that easily paasos for dramatic ardor. Iu the book Marina ib a lovable woman; Miss Rigl makes hor hateful. In tho book Marina is a gontlo being linkod by birth and trainiug to tho vendetta, but chafing under tho restrictions of hor education; as personated by Mibs Kigl sno is a tigress. This is a conception of tho character that pleased many last evening, and is said to havo pleased largo numbers iu othor cities, and it can not therefore be said to be a failure except as to its correctness aB a copy of tho original story's heroine; but its lack of reposo and absence of womanly gentliness aro none the less rogrettablo and wearisome. Annio Blanoko was tho "baby," Maud.onc of the most pleasing play young 'uns ever seen on tho stage, aud to UBe her own expressive slang, slio "played it for all it was worth." Sheridan Block was Count Danella, und, barring his rant in tho fourth act, acquittod himself well of his task.

Tho Private Secretary," as acted by William Gillette and his company last night.is rather moro quaint than funny. It has hardly improved with ago. Tho German origin of it is still too appar speeches aro too numerous, tho action is too long delayed by conversation. Still, when over throo or four of tho players aro on tlie stage the audience is at no loss for matter of mirth. Mr.

Gillette in mora appearance, with his Sat tenod locks, his crano liko legs, his long, lank figure, his indecisivo his meek and troubled face, is odd aud original, he assumes a voice that conforms to tho fiacoidity of his demeanor and tho exceeding harmlossuosB of his tastes and habits and his deep solemnity, his unusual tallness and his weight of osseous tissue make his infantile traits the moro paradoxical and ludicrous. His acting too, has touches of effectiveness that seem to come from personality as woll as from art. Ho understands the value of repose and how to make repose and action emphasize oach other. HiB performance, indeed, is meritorious, though ho is not always lost in his (jjiaructur. His associates did not, aa a body, distinguish themselves, and the ladies of the troupe, though quite in earnest and doing the best they could, were a little raw as to method and lacked ease and certainty in their Btage work.

Harry Allon gave to Catter mole a Hort of Denmau Thompson figure and played his part with natnralness and humor. It waa only when ho tried to bo uunior than the text and to say or do things inappropriate to tho scene or the season that ho failed to fit his part, and such remarks as "gentlemen do not get drunk; they get a jag on," would bo tolerable only in variety shows. Raymond Holmes ill vested tho part of tho tipsy tailor with the ostentatious vulgarity it was intended to possess. Charhs Bowser as the rogue of the piece was apt in tho resources of comedy and dry and bright in manner, though disposed to dwell a littlo too long on his points. Horbert Fortier as the nice yonng man was harmless and well moaning and therefore embodied his character.

Tho other people in the cast did not create surprise. Stuart Robson will appear next week in "The Henrietta." ACADKMY OF MUSIC. "The Still Alarm," with its woalth of picturesque scenery, stirring incident and striking mechanical effects, returned to the city last night for a week's stay at the Academy of Music. It was produced by an excellent company, with Harry Lacy in the chief part as Jack Manley. Mr.

Lacy ao tod his character of a young firomun with spirit and exhibits in several scenes, ability of a high order. Ho was repeatedly and enthusiastically applauded, particularly in tho second act when he dashed through the real window in pursuit of tho retreating villain, aud in tho third when he started his ongiue company on its errand of rescue. The fire station scone was very realistic. Since the original production of the melodrama it has been improved and it now constitutes a beautiful stage picture Mr. Lacy, in the interpretation of the play, was capably assisted by Frank Roberts, who is a careful and intelligent actor, as John Bird, ChnrlcB Lothian as Willie Manley, Joseph Wilkes as Doc.

Wilbur, E. A. Eberlo as Franklin Fordham aud Davis as Toney, a comical old vamp. Eliuoro Foidham, the heroiue of tho performance, waH impersonated by Kate Blancke, a clever and attractive actress. Cad Wilbur, a madcap romp, was portrayed by Weevio Vivian, a light footed, red hail ed and comely young woman, who sang well and danced gracefully.

Mrs. Seldon Irwin was a motherly Mrs. Manley. An ngreuablo feature of the performance is the "Firemen's Chorus," by J. 31.

SIEGFRIED "GERMAN OI'EUA. Last night "Siogfriod," the third drama of Waguor's Nibolung cyclus, was given for tho first timo this seaBon at tho Metropolitan Opera House Tho audience was largo and enthusiastic, and thero was much to praiso as to theron dering of the principal roles, the criticism which forced itself on the listener at tho outsotboing that of comparison. The part of tho young hero waa taken by Herr Vogl.

From the purely miiBical standpoint his performance was satisfactory. His execution was artistic, his treatmont of the part scholarly and finished; it was sung delightfully, in fact, but in its dramatic element it lacked abandon, dash.onthusiaBm and youth. In oporatio roles histrionic woakness very ofteu is not considered, but Waguor iB a dramatist as woll as composer, and failure to omhody his conception detracts from the moasuro of bucoobs. In the welding of the sword Herr Vogl Bang delightfully, though without the jocund and rejoicing manner of tho young hero. Habitues of the opera had beforo their mind tho work of Horr Alvary in tho part.

Still, in tho light of Horr Yogi's success with tho Bcoro, comparative comment is ungracious. Wo tan was personated by Horr Reiohmann, who Bang romarkably woll, with fullnoss of tone, but ho disobeyed tradition in his makeup, giving Wotan both his oyos and taking off his hat, and he was deficient in forco and impross ivonoBB. In tho combat with Siegfried in tho third act, when tho spoar is shattered by tho blows of tho magio sword, Herr Roiohinann was notably deficient in dramatio power. Tho part of Mimo was.takon byNicholai Goraki, who was only diBcoverod late in tho season, and it was very well done. He sang with Bpeed, not to esceed ten miles per hour, and that the existing fences and gates will be removed." Does this mean that the use of surface steam will be continued indefinitely, though only for freight transportation and at specified hours If it is, the suggested solution of the problem can scarcely be regarded as final.

Suppose that when it was proposed in that familiar precedent case to sink the New York Central tracks it had been provided that one surface freight track should be preserved. Would the arrangement have been regarded by the peoplo as satisfactory? The Atlantic avenue matter is now up for conclusive disposal. A report which leaves the stumbling block of surface steam unremoved will be lame and impotent. Thero are many people who, rather than submit to the menace of tho locomotive, would have freight carried on a four track elevated however undesirable that may be in itself. The fourth point, thorefore, which the Commissioners must take up is the final and satisfactory settlement of the radical question of surface steam.

It looks now as if tho Ninth Commission must reconsider and re examine the whole case or fail miserably, whilo the problem will remain just what it was before. BiNinarcK'u Kesiis nation. The resignation of Bismarck, announced by euble this morning, has been expected ever since it became apparent that tho young German Emperor was restive under the shadow of the Chancellor's personality. There has been small attempt to con ceal tho discord which has prevailed and if Bismarck has finally become weary of the domineering and dictatorial spirit which he has had to encounter, aud has decided to retire, with all his honors, to private life, ho has dono only that wincn respect for his own prestige woum seem to render necessary. Recalling tne remarkable career of tho Chancellor since ho first began to figure in the diplomatic affairs Europe nearly fifty years ago, his virtually compulsory retirement, like the fall of a venerable oak, is not be viewed without at least some feeling of regret.

Great a man as Bismarck is, however, no one will now despair of the future of the Empire any more than if he had been suddenly called to his final account. On the contrary, his departure should do much to emancipate Germany from the autocratic conditions which ho has done so much to develop, for the introduction of more liberal tendencies, as well as by bringing to the front now men and new measures, should pave the way for a system of government infinitely more compatible with the hopes aud the aims of the people. For the policy represented in the person of the Chancellor a policy which was over ready to wield the club or use the sword as instruments of subjection and aggression however much it may havo strengthened imperialism, has been far from conducive to the contentment and happiness of the masses. It has seized on the flower of tho nation's manhood for purposes of arms it has stimulated au emigration almost unparalleled among the nations of Europe it has fostered paternalism at tho expense of individual thritt and enterprise, and its logical results are seen in the spectacle of women working as oxen in tho fields and in manifestations of social discontent not far different from those which are discernible iu Russia. Had it not been for Bismarck's rule of blood and iron it may be doubted whether at this stage of civilization a bombastic speech like that made by the young Kaiser a few days ago would have been accepted with such marked complacency, aud it is certainly an illustration of the irony of fate that the Chancellor should now suffer at the hands of the monarch whose authority he has done so much to promote.

The immediate cause of the resignation is said to be a difference of opinion between Bismarck and tho Emperor regarding the Socialist movement. That the Chancellor was opposed to William's labor rescripts is well known. True to himself, he did not believe in temporizing with the question of industrial discontent, but would rather have tried to throttle it. That anything beneficial could result from an international labor conference' ho regarded as the idle dream of a youthful and perhaps coxcombical mind, and as far back as 1885 ho did not hesitate to pronounce such a plan "preposterous and wholly unavailable" as a cure for industrial ills. There is excellent reason to suppose that he was light, for the State cannot perform a service for labor which labor refuses to perform for itself, and it is nonsense to suppose that uniformity in hours of work aud other like designs can be established by the mere dictum ot an international conference, for industrial conditions are not tho same in different countries, and these conditions no legislation can overcome.

Correct, then, as he was in rejecting any momentary specific, it is curious that Bismarck failed to recognize the fact that the more he tried to eradicate the Socialistic tendency by maiu brute forco, the more rapid would it be its growth. Germany to day is a hot bed of Socialism, and it is highly improbable that either appeal or intimidation can for a moment stem the tide. All over Europe the saiuo dissatisfaction exists, and it represents not only tho reaction of the masses against hardship aud suffering produced by industrial stagnation, but is a revolt against tho monarchical theory of government as contrasted with that which we understand hero. If Bismarck's power is really at an end, the friends of democracy in Germany have tho best of reason to rejoice. He has had a marvelous career.

With the exception of the first Napoleon, and possibly with tho additional exceptions of Gladstono and Disraeli, no man of tho present century has exercised a greater influence in European affairs. It is a melancholy reflection that after all he has attempted, the German people are to day more dissatisfied with their condition than they ever were before, aud that like Wolsey in the fullness of his years he reaps the bitter fruit of serving his king too faithfully. Had for "tloodlcrs." Those are cold days for the New York City "boodlers." That strange product of our civilization continues to reproduce itself with never failing certainty. No sooner is one official scandal disposed of than another is brought to the front. Only a few years ago the Metropolis was stirred to the center by the Broadway railroad abomination.

Now we have a series of disclosures in regard to the management of tho Sheriff's office which threatens to revolutionize administrative and partisan conditions on Manhattan Island community. The arraignment of Warden Keating, of Ludlow Street Jail, and his subordinates has been supplemented by tho indictment and arrest of Deputy City Works Commissioner Martin and seven or eight former employes of the Sheriff's office. They have been apprehended on apparently well founded charges of bribery and extortion. Enough has already been revealed to leave no doubt of tho existence of corruption in the county government. Ludlow street Jail has long been a prolific source of evil.

Its abolition ought to be one outcome of the present oxposuro and consequent agitation. If, to that result, be added the punishment of every rascal who has engaged in or connived at violation of the law, tho atmosphere on tho other side of the East River would receive a much needed purification. The Hoard of Aldermen. Tlie Truant Home mystery reappeared before tho Common Council yesterday, briefly and in connection with a modest resolution for ijiS50 worth of carpets. Mr.

Loach assorted that the carpet money already appropriated to tho occult philanthropic establishment would suffice for a building larger than tho City Hall. Whether this is true or not it is impossiblo to say. Indeed, it is impossible to say much about the mystery in any aspect. It might bo woll to bring it within reach of the public eye. If it is necessary to have a house of refuge for young idlers lot it be frankly so called and put under tho samo management as kindred institutions.

Either that gentleman has misunderstood the losson of recent events in his own State or he has been carried to extremes in the heat of partisan debate. The Southern commonwealths have once endured f.lie ordeal of carpetbag spoliation and rapine. Neither they nor the sister States of the North will sanction the reimposition of conditions that were a parody on government, an insult to human intelligence and an outrage on the civilization of every community in which they were sought to bo maintained. Bishop Ireland and Br.

Talmajro on Creeds It was not to be supposed that so keen a logician and so zealous a churchman as Archbishop Ireland would hear without dissent Dr. Talmage's motion for "a creed for all denominations made out of Scripture quotations pure and simple, each one giving to theni his own meaning." But he is more than opposed to the motion he is indignant at tho very idea of it, and declares that the doctor's pure and simple creed is "pure and simple nonsense." He is not even willing to indorse tho proposition that "a man who accepts Christ is a Christian," for the whole value of the proposition would depend upon what is meant by accepting Christ, and as to that there might be tho widest difference of opinion. He draws the line clearly between the doctor and himself when ho asserts that "morals without dogmas have no meaning." In suggesting the general outlines of a creed which all denominations could embrace, the primary object of the pastor of the Tabernacle is to put aside every obstacle to the cordial fraternization of Christian sects. Ho regards most of these obstacles as donat ing under tho head of "non essentials." It is in his ooinion of more consequence that man kind should be imbued with the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount than that any of the claims of purely dogmatic theology should survive. The fellowship of men in a common worship is chiefly retarded by ideas and institutions which are the outgrowth of Chris tianity and not expressly enjoined by the lan of Holy Writ.

Each sect is inclosed within its own wall of dogma. Each has built about it a system of doctrines that had no existence amonct primitive Christians. Each worships within these self appointed limits. Each feels as if it had some peculiar merit, as if it possessed some advantage not possessed by the others. What the doctor aims at is a general relaxation of this spirit or oxclusiveness and a universal recognition of the fact that the salvation of souls is the duty of the hour, not the salvation of creeds.

He encounters the full force of the argu ment naaiust his plan in tho archbishop's contention that those who are most earnest in eliminating dogmas from the Christian religion contradict themselves. J.ho dis tinguished prelate maintains that tho whole scheme of Christianity is necessarily based on docrma. He declares that the doctor him self proclaims a dogma when he asserts that it is not obligatory to believe in the "eternal Miieration of the Son." This, in his opinion, is a dogma as to tho humanity of Christ that has the practical effect of ending the Christian religion. We cannot rationally interpret the sayings of Christ without formulating dogmas, and conspicuously is this true in respect of His relations to the Father and the Holy Spirit. To say, as the doctor does, that it is not necessary to believe in eternal pun ishment is also an instance of dogmatic statement, and the archbishop wonders, if such be the truth, what Christ could have meant by threatening punishment for unbelief.

And so the argument moves round in a circle, finally bringing up at the point from which it started The doctor holding that dogmas are unimportant in the work of saving souls, and the archbishop maintaining that the doctor dogmatizes when he kays so. Nevertheless, is there not an evident ten dency on the part of Christian denominations to establish a mere familiar intercourse than that which they have hitherto observed, and is not the doctor's proposal an additional symptom of it He is progressive and aggressive and in both respects a representative man. He would rally the whole army of Christ under one standard if he could. The spirit of tho ago is a spirit of combination and co operation. It has attained a very marked development in the departments of commerce aud industry.

Its throbbings are plainly felt in the religious world. If there is profit and strength in the union of material force, why should there not be profit aud strength in the union of moral forces When sectarians reach the point where they can agree to disa Tee touching merely denominational distinc tions, they will have triumphed over the greatest obstacle to the organization of that mighty Christian Trust which Dr. lal mage contemplates. They have not reached that point yet and it is impossible to say when they will, but the influences tending to expedite their progress are in constant aud powerful operation. Before those influences ill minor and subordinate considerations are bound ultimately to give way.

The Atlantic Avenue Problem The attitude of the Long Island Railroad Company toward tho depressed plan favored by the Ninth Ilapid Transit Commission is now officially made known by the clear and cogent statement of Vice President Maxwell published in yesterday's Eagle. The directors of the corporation decline to build tho proposed line on the ground that the money needed for the work "could not be raised on the security of the property," aud further that, if it could be, "tho revenue to be derived from the operation of a depressed road would be insufficient to meet interest charges." Good reasons are given for this conclusion. Carrying companies, even if they were far less wicked than is sometimes asserted, could scarcely be blamed for considering the merely mercenary question of profits. The vice president considers the question, whether the city can be expected to aid in tho construction. He directs attention to the fact which seems to have escaped attention that the New York Central track sinking, of which the city bore part of the expense, and which has been so ofteu referred to as a precedent for Brooklyn, was accomplished before "the adoption of the constitutional amendments which now forbid tho loan of the credit of the city in aid of a private enterprise." ne says further that the constitutional debt limit will not permit a further issue of Brooklyn bonds.

If tho vice president is correct in these views and it is not to be supposed that he would advance them without taking counsel the question of the city's assuming any part of tho cost of the depressed road would seem to be settled. The communication renews the proposal in regard to an elevated road. The company has favored a four track structure, but will yield to objections and agree to two tracks. The Commissioners should carefully deliberate and act upon this situation. It is easy to argue that a depressed road is the best solution, but suppose that we cannot have such a road.

Shall we have nothing? Hardly anybody will hesitate to admit that, even if an elevated road is not the most desirable, it is at least better than no change at all in the method of travel. If the Commissioners have the power, as undoubtedly they have, to reconsider a decision they have made only in part, they should address themselves without delay to these points 1. Is it impossible to procure the building of a depressed road by the Long Isla nd Company? 2. Is the city incapacitat ed, by the general constitutional prohibition in regard to aiding private enterprises or try tho local debt limit, from contributing to the cost of tho road so that the company will be induced to undertake the work? 3. If these questions must be answered unfavorably, should not the company be allowed to build a two track elevated road? There is one matter in regard to which Vice President Maxwell's letter is not as clear as could be wished.

It says that if the company's proposal is accepted it will agree, in order "to dispel any fear of the use of the elevated tracks for freight purposes," that "no freight business shall ever be conducted along Atlantic avenue, except upon tho surface tracks, to and from local stations between Flatbush avenue aud the eity line, and then only in the night time, low rates of ods. In timo this scene will be enacted within the cave, wnere the dimness of the forms will evoke imagination a more serviceable adjunct than realism in such emergencies.

The police have another murdor mystery on their bauds. Late Sunday night a woman was found lying in tho road at the intersection of the Fifty iif th stroet boulevard and Morgan street. Sho was unconscious and had evidently been there some time. Tho polico thought she was intoxicated aud carted her to the Thirty fifth Btroct polico station, whoro Bhe remained several hours. As she showed no signs of reviving sho waB then removed to tho County Hospital, whoro sho died laBt evening, without having recovered consciousness.

When tho surgeons at the hospital examined her at tho timo of hor arrival they found hor scalp badly cut and a fracture at the base of tho skull. There wero also bruiBeB on her arms. It has been learned that the unfortunate woman waa Mrs. Jeunio Bingham, formerly of Milwaukee, but known in Chicago as Mrs. Jennie Taylor.

She has boen living in this city with a man named Zach Taylor, an engineer. The last timo he saw her was Sunday afternoon. He was much alarmed Snnday night at hor disappearance, and last evening on hearing of tho unknown woman having been conveyed to the hospital went thoro aud identified her. Taylor is held by the police. He strongly protests hia innocence of any complicity in her murder.

The murdered woman's sister, a Mrs. Parks, of this city, tolls the Bauie story as Taylor about her past life. She added that hor sister was in groat fear of Major Bingham; that ho was madly in love with her and she had said sho feared ho would kill her if he found her. The landlady of the apartment house where Taylor and the murdered woman lived, claims that a man answering tho description of Bingham, given by Taylor, called several days ago to see Mrs. Bingham, but she was absent.

Mrfl. Parks says Biughain was an inmate of the insane asylum at Milwaukee at one timo, and afterward held some sort of clerical position there. Mrs. Bingham loft hor sister's houso on State street, Sunday evening, to call as usual for Taylor. Sho had but a few blocks to walk.

Four hours later she was found, as described above, at a point nearly five miles distant, lying iu the roadway in a dsnng condition. A dispatch from Milwaukoo Bays'; George C. Bingham cannot bo found here. He was sent to the county hospital Borne weeks ago, but waa dis charged some days sinoe. The polico havo not seen him for several days." TUE WHOLE FAMILY ARRESTED, Charged Willi the ifliirdcr ot the Wife' Father.

Bedfobd, March 13. Considerable excitement was caused here last night by tho arrest, for murder, of Henry Leg gett, familiarly known as French Hank." His wife and daughter, aged 12 years, wero arrested for complicity. The murder for which tho arrests were made was committed in Pago County, near Shambaugh, in 1880. Tho victim was tho father of Legeett's wife, who lived with his daughter. The crime was committed for the old man's effects, which consisted of a gold watch, $G5 iu money and a span of mules.

The body was dis covered about a week after the murder by a fish erman. It had been firmly tied to a stake, aud the stako was driven into tho ground at tho bottom of tho Nodaway River. As soon as the Leggctt family were put under arrest tho officer in chargo telegraphed to the Sheriff of Pago County, who arrested Hugh Taylor for complicity in the crime. The detective who made tho arrest has been working on the case for ovor a year. By working around tho country for farmers he gathered up the evidence link by link until tho chain waa com pleto.

It is expected that Lcggctt's 12 year old daughter will mako a mil confession ot tho crime. When tho arrest was mado a salo was in progress at Leggott'B placo, as ho was anticipating remov ing to Nebraska. Tho officer started for Clarinda with him, at which placo ho will bo tried. It is the prevailing opinion here that moro arrests will follow. BURCHELL ACTED LIKE A GENTLEMAN.

The Police May Yet Slave to Arrest the Whole of Them. The Cities Committee the Souatc of New York is investigating departments in tho City of New York. It is a representative of the legislative sovereignty of the Shite. It has power to send for persons ami papers, to compel testimony nud to imprison for contumacy or contempt of its proceedings. It has the force and function of a court, and it is of the last importance that it should preserve its dignity in order to have its authority recognized and respected.

On Saturday it allowed its counsel, William M. Ivius, who stands in relations to it anala gons to those which a district attorney sustains to a court, to call a witness on the stand "a liar," the epithet being garnished with fitting verbal decorations and being returned with interest by the witness to whom it had been addressed. On Monday afternoon the same committee witnessed the spectacle of an outsider entering their rooms while they were in session and the rooms were those of a court of justice and shaking his fist under the nose of that counsel, call him "au unmitigated scoundrel." We do not suppose that anything more scandalous than these two instances ha ever occurred before a tribunal judicial in its purposes and powers and representing the sovereignty of the State of New York. Imagine the spectacle had the witness of Saturday knocked the counsel down on the spot Imagine the result if the abusive intruder of Monday had made a physical assault upon the counsel The scene was shameful enough in both instances. The possibilities are worse still.

The net result is utterly destructive of respect for the committee, which in neither case did anything to vindicate its dignity. On Saturday it should have instantly committed the offending ccran sel to jail. On Monday it should have at once sent the insulting invader to the same place. The committee does not respect itself. It cannot expect that anybody else will respect it.

At the rate the committee proceedings are going on it may be necessary for the police of New York or Brooklyn, or of any other city which the committee may visit, in the interest of the public peace and decency, to carry the entire body of Senators with their counsel to the station house and to lock them up for disorderly behavior. They would better bo careful, else exactly that experience may yet be theirs. Such a result would be a fitting commentary upon their truculent and indecent behavior. They are doing their best to merit it and to make it gravely possible. An Irrepressible Conflict Kenewcd.

What, for want of a better name, is called the Southern question will not down. It was brought into stirring and discordant prominence Thursday in the United States Senate. Mr. Eustis, of Louisiana, replying to some strictures on his State by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, exhibited the latter gentleman in a highly inconsistent light. Mr.

Hoar, on Wednesday, asserted that in Louisiana and in some of the other Southern States there were laws which made it a penal offense for a white man to associate on terms of equality with a black man. He declared, moreover, that there was another law in Louisiana which provided for the sale of any colored man found for a certain time out of employment, and that the former master should have the preference in the purchase. To both of these accusations Mr. Eustis interposed an indignant denial. He defied Mr.

Hoar to show that there were any such laws on the statute books. The gentleman from Massachusetts, he affirmed, had only illustrated with what recklessness Republican Senators spoke of Southern affairs. They seemed to be restrained by nothing, not even by facts: for here were two statements for which there was not the slightest foundation. Put to the test of veracity Mr. Hoar was promptly fihwed a most pitiable position.

At 'once he began to crawfish. Confessing that he might have erred in regard to Louisiana and admitting his inability tofiud the statutes referred to, ho proceeded to show that, while what he had said of Louisiana was incorrect, it applied with a great deal of force to the Btate of Mississippi. These admissions oE inaccuracy precipitated a general debate on (Southern affairs. With Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, on one side and Mr.

Butler, of South Carolina, on the other the sectional line was tharply drawn, harsh words were used and all pretense of fraternal sympathy was put to flight. The awakening of latent passion showed how empty are the professions of peace and good will incorporated in party platforms and interchanged under the mellowing influence of the banquet hall. Mr. Sherman, sometimes esteemed the most conservative member of the Senate, because the oldest in duration of service, found it incumbent to arraign millions of his countrymen, to picture them as Willful violators of law and systematic oppressors of their fellows and to threaten them with the heavy hand of Federal reprisal and restraint. While asserting in one breath that there was no feeling of hate; existing the North against the South he contended in the next for the re establishinent, forcibly or otherwise, of negro domination in the reconstructed commonwealths.

Mr. Bhermanls aggressive remarks naturally provoked a vigorous rejoinder from the opposition. Senator Butler, in his answer, spoke with dignity, eloquence and moderation. There need be, however, no misconception of the significance of his candid and succinct reply. Broadly stated his position is that the negro will not be permitted to resume sway, politically, in the Southern States.

What African rule meant for civilized communities, he maintained, was thoroughly illustrated during the reconstruction period. He warned Mr. Sherman that whenever he attempted to re establish in the South those reconstruction governments which had left in their train the black marks of spoliation, of disgrace and of humiliation, and which would always be a reproach to the history of this country, a protest in his own State and in his own county would Kinse him to hesitate before he carried it out to its fullest extent. For himself and his people, Mr. Butler declared that ho would not exchange one hour of good order in the South for all the political advantage that negro suffrage has given to that section.

If, he said, he had the opportunity he would transfer every atom of that political power to the North and wish the North Godspeed in the solution and management of it. He appealed to the Senators and to the Northern people to believe the Southern men when they said that they were far more interested an orderly, humane, honest settlement of the question than the people of the North could possibly be. Such bitter controversies as that on the floor of tbe United States Senate can only lend to aggravate a deplorable situation. Ultimately, tlio Southern question will have to be laid at rest. It can never be settled permanently until it is settled rightly.

Its adjustment involves problems whose solution invites the profound attention of the wisest minds in tho nation. The policy of force, tried a generation since, has ignobly failed. Attempts to revive that policy can only pro sections havo been brought together on tho main floor of the Universal, which makes it very convenient for tho busy shopper with many orders to fill. Formerly Bome of tho sections of tho dry goods buBinoss wero in tho Fulton street store, whilo othora wero in the Universal, but now of tho fifty twe departments all are centered in the latter except the two of carpets and furniture, which will occupy tho former. Busy fingers have twinod balcony and railing with soft yellow draperies, which add an Oriental look to the surroundings and make ono balievo for the moment she is in an East India bazai.

According to the now order of things, thero aro threo main aialts, which from their width and spaciousness, leave amplo room for many people, with no crowding, no pushing. Some of tho discomforts of shopping aro thus done away with. If tired, one can sit down to rest, first buying tho lateat novel or tho after dinner speeches of Chauncey M. Depew to beguile tho time. Their book counter has always beon a source of great satisfaction to the leading part of tho community, for if the desired volume waa not found on hand, it was kindly sent for, and dolivorod in a short time.

Translations from foroign authors aro to be found as well as those of standard Americas. If thirsty, one can stop to tho soda fountain and drink as delicious a glass of ice cream soda as was ever mixed. This section is always refreshing, its chief atttactions being thoso of extreme neatness and prompt filling of orders. It is just tho spot where the shopper likes to linger a minute either coming or going. Womon can nevor resist ribbons, so you aro always sure to find a long line at this section, where the assortment ia large aud in all the recent new shades.

If vou deBiro a Shakspoaro bracelet or a yellow tortoise shell comb, a string of gold beads or the lateat fancy in a neck pin you will not have far to go. Toilet articles of every description, from the very reasonable to tho very oxpenaive, including the most deairablo makes of perfume and aoap, toilet water and powder, with all tho other innumerable fix ings which the well bred woman likes to find on hor drossing table, aro laid out in plain Bight for your scrutiny and choice. Tho flowers this soason are wonderful simulations of naturo in all tho details of lino workmanship. Tho arrangement of this section is most artistic. What looks like a balcony greets the eye, decked with long falling spiays of myrtle and flowers.

Tho green makes a fine background for bunches of poppies, roseB and pond lilieB, which are some of the larger flowers hero diBplayed, while on the glass cases are stands of many rare and fine blossoms, liko tho marguerites, cowslips, Scotch heather, pink bridal wreaths, mignonette, narcissus and cowslip clusters. Tho children's hats, seen near by, are in fancy laco straws in yellow, while black chip will he much worn, tho milliner suggests, with broad, flat rims. A very boautiful one was of this shape, of largo size, with black velvet ribbon pompon and black ostrich tips laid on rim. Most of these hats are' simply faced with one fold of velvet. A fancy lace straw iu ecru had two pompons, one in cream velvet ribbon, tho other in light blue, with a wreath of forget me noti encircling tho crown.

This was a gypsy poke. Au odd combination was a gray straw with brown trimmings. A broad rimmod brown chip for a little miss had a band of brown velvet edged with gilt cord on the upper side of rim. The back of crown was mounted with brown silk ribbon loops "and tips, whilo a few also rested on edge of front brim. In the balcony devoted to tho ladies' bonnets, so many and so beautiful were the designs, that ono would bo hard to Biiit indeed if alio could not mako a choice.

The lady in charge hero mentioned that hats would bo worn with aomewhat lower crowns, with higher trimmings. Sho showed a Tuscan Btraw in light gray with pale crape trimmings in which two small doves nestled serenely. This waa a trno Easter hat. Another was a largo crownless hat of Neapolitan brown, with side panels of white crape and brown velvet and white heather. A Neapolitan lace poke had a crown of black gauze ribbon mounted with La Franco roses.

A charming novelty waB a toquo of silver metal, with orange and heliotrope cowslips and black velvet ribbon atrings. A crownlosa toque had trimmings of heliotrope cowslips and Marcelona lace. Tho very prettiest. I believe, if, among bo many lovely ones, snch could bo said, was a now stylo of toque with long, low crown, trimmed with gilt fish net, with a crown of dotted tullo, on which waa mounted a gilt butterfly. Passing to the suit room a dress of light chosolaco cloth first met the eye, with a jackot of whito and chocolate edged with crochet with a panel of samo ou side.

The suits aro all nont and tasty. Special attention has been given to tea gowns, all of them being dreams of loveliness. One, in a French cashmere with dark oliyo green princesB back and draped front of rich figures on a cream ground, was striking. Tho dainticat was ono of light blue French challie, figured with apraya of goldenrod and deep pink wild rosos, with a fall, soft front of pale blue crape. To specify all tho admirable features of tliis opening, which ia a celebration of tho new arrangements made in the store, would take columns.

First tho ladieB' underwear claims your attention with apecialties of delicate light blue and pink India silk night robes; then the now silk skirts in taffeta, then tho large array of parasols, all of the latest deaign of natural stick and lace covered foundations, flower fans and fans with sticka bordered with natural shaped loaves, new linen goods in towels with novel borders and horn stitched napkins, a full array of dress goods combination robes with side borders and laco effect panels, and many gorgeous pieces of brocades in silver and black, deep yellow and white, ribbon atripea with tiny bouquets, deep salmon with arabasque designs and black and Bilver, tnlles and laces, jets and all kinds of trimmings, hat frames and millinery productions of every de scription with a handsome lino of uphokttery goods now moved to the rear of tho atore, all thoso and many, many more aro some of the pleasurable sights awaiting ladies who will not fail to see those things for themselves.
