T-unchcon was hardly over before the

"allors of the clay after the Spanish minis-

Irs. Curry. It was generally believed that
lie president would return the call made
lion him this morning , nnd quite a crotvd

firs. Carlisle , Mrs. DIssell. Miss Herbert
nd Mrs. Hoko Smith , entered the hotel ,
jhcro they remained a few minutes , Mr.

ilncoss. In this connection tlio precedent
10 sot during his former administration is
omombered. When Queen Kapiolanl was
mrc and visited the president he did Just as
10 did today. After the queen had returned
0 her apartments Mrs. Cleveland , nccom-
lauled by Colonel Wilson , returned the call
ind with thnt the formalities ended.
Following Mrs. Cleveland and the wives of
ncmbors of the cabinet came a long list of
ullcrs , including most of the foreign minls-
crs now In Washington nnd members of the
arious legations. At 4:80 : the princess en-
crtid a carriage and was driven to Arllng-
an. The men on the pavement lifted their
> ats , but the ladles clapped their hands ns
he'carriago rolled off , and In response to
his demonstration the infanta bowed and
tmilcd. In the carriage with her was the
> rincc , the Spanish minister and Commander
Xivls. In the second carriage rode the
narchioncss , the duke and Scnor Don
'edro. The royal guests enjoyed the ride ,
ho afternoon being perfect , and they re-
.urned In time for dinner. The evening was
.pent in their own apartments.

bur is likely to extend to the Yellowstone
lark.
Duration of Her Stay *
The duration of the stay of the Infanta In
lie United States has not been definitely de-
irmlned , but It will be from ono to two
ionths. This afternoon the princess ox-
I-essed herself as delighted with her en-
l.'uslastlc reception in Washington and said
lie was very grateful for the courtesies ox-
bndcd , However much people may believe
lie was desirous to bo honored , the infanta

WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 20. John Willis
Bacr. secretary of the United Societies of

eral Olnoy today In regard to closing the
World's fair on Sunday. Olney said that as
the appropriations by the government to the
fair wcro on condition that the fair be closed
on Sunday , it would ba the duty of the > ia-
tional commission to sco this carried out.
Olnoy added that two weeks ago ho
instructed tho' district attorney at Chicago
to secure an injunction restraining iho man-
ngcmcnt from opening the gates on Sunday
if noccssary to keep them closed. Olney said
further that the government exhibits would
be closed on that day and that the national
government would see that the entire expo
sition bo closed by applying to the district
court of Chicago for an injunction. This
might result in great delay in reaching a de
cision and that in the meantime the exposi
tion would-bo open and that the Chic .eo di

quired chaperons.

the Cumberland Presbyterians this morning
were conducted by Hov. G. A. Blair of
Ogdcn.
At the close Rev. J. M. Hubbort moved to
suspend the rules and consider the report of
the special committee on elections. The
majority report of the committee was made
yesterday afternoon as follows : "Your com-
mlttco appointed to pass upon the eligibility
of Mrs. P. L. Claggett to a seat in this
assembly as a representative of Nolln pres
bytery would report that in view of the ex
pression of the last general assembly Mrs.
Claggett is entitled to a seat as n delegate.
We , therefore , recommend that her nauio bo
enrolled as a commissioner from Nolin pres
bytery. Your committee does not deslro to
bo understood as passing upon the legal or
constitutional aspect of this question , but
act in view of the previous deliverance or
this body.
D. W. Niel of Kentucky Insisted on seat
ing Mrs. Claggett. A long discussion fol
lowed.
Mr. Tomploton resumed his argument ,
which was the special order of Friday , in
terrupted for the substitution of the minor
ity for the majority report.
Mr. Hubbert raised the point of order thnt
the pending' motion did not raise for discus
sion the constitutionality of women member
ship.After
After n lengthy discussion , Mr. Hubbort's
point of order was sustained , by the modera
tor nnd the constitutionality of Mrs. Clag-
gett's credentials was not debatable. The
vote then recurred on ttje substitution of the
minority for the majority report and the mi
nority report was laid on the table.
Mr. Buquoa then moved the previous ques
tion , which prevailed , there being about
forty dissenting votes.
Mrs. Claggett was declared entitled to a
scat in the assembly. The lady elder was
requested to stand up that the members of
the assembly might know her. She mod
estly granted the request. This does not
settle the battle , for the committee on over
tures raised the general question of wo
man's eligibility to eldership on which the
Committee Is to report tomorrow.
The afternoon session was devoted mainly
to n consideration of n report of the board
of publication , submitted by General Man

history. The ono over Elihu Yale has
this inscription :
Born in America , in Europe bred ,
In Africa traveled and in Asia wed.
Where long ho lived and thrived ; In London
dead ,
Much good , some 111 ho did , so hope all's
oven.
And that his soul thro1 mercy's gene to
heaven.
This inscripiton was almost worn out
by exposure and time , but it was re
cently restored by some Yule men who
visited the churchyard a few years ago ,
and is now legible.
The church is full of quaint Inscrlp ]
tlons. On ono of the gravestones near
Elihu Yale's grave is the following :
Hero lies my wife ana five children dear ;
Throe at Oswestry , two hero. .
The inscription on Mr. Yale's grave
stone shows that ho must have been a
widely traveled man and had a great deal
of experience. It is curious that not
moro attention has been paid to his
grave. Still , a an' ' much is known
about him us about John Harvard ,
who founded ft the university
at Cambridge ' 'across ' the river
from Boston. It la strange that so Httlo
is known about { H&founders of Yule and

DRINK STATISTICS.
Figures Iloprosont the United Sliitcs ni n
Bobor Nation.
In splto of the widespread impression
tlmt the United States are a nation of
drunkards its people nro in reality the
soberest and moat tompcrato in the
world , according to the Troy Times.
Whatever drunkenness wo have to endure -
duro comes chiolly from abroad , brought
hero by people who retain their old
world habits , or transmitted by thorn in
the nnturo of appetite to their children
horn hero. Except for this constant ac
cession to the drunkard list by importa
tion not more than one mini in 10,000
among us would bo a drunkard.
Our best and most temperate foreign
population comes from the United
Kingdom. But in that country the
drink bill for 1891 is placed by Dr.
Dawson Burns , of the United Kingdom
alliance , nt $700,000,000. In the United
States in 1890 , according to Wilbur 1\
Copeland , the drink hill was 61,131,000-
000 , or about 00 per cent larger than in
the United Kingdom , though the popula
tion Is 80 per cent larger , the wealth n
quarter larger and the average drink
twice HH high in price. Taking into
consideration all these facts , our liquor
consumption in not moro than ono half
that of the next uoboccst country in the
world.
The accommodations for getting
drunk are also greater in the ' 'mother
country" than hero. In England and
Wales , with loss than half the popula
tion of the United States , crowded into
an area about equal to Now York ,
Massachusetts and Connecticut , there
are 128,000 public hoiibos or drinking
places , while in this entire country
there are only 141,000 , or 10

The average Knpllsh city has n public

has been the fruit thereof. In England

The prospective broncho rnco from Chap *

Is vigorously opposed by the Chicago papers

mane soilcty. The tlmo for starting is fixed
for about Juno 2o next , and the struggle Is
expected to bo participated In by fully nee

Nebraska building In Jnukson park , and } oOO
to the second. With such an inducement
Httlo tlmo will bo allowed for rest on the
Journey. The poor bronchos will bo imrd
pressed under whip and spur , night and day ,
through the terrible ordeal , In weather that
may prove to bo the hottest of the year.
If this contest bo permitted to "como oil , "
savs the Chicago Tribune , the amount of
suffering It will entail to the animals taking
part in it will far exceed that endured In the
race between German and Austrian oOlccrs n
few months ngo. The greater dlstanco to bo
covered , the larger number of animals put
to the torture and the higher temperature to
ho endured will make the struggle vastly
moro horrible In Us loading features than
the one which brouirht out a cry of "Shame11
from all parts of the civilized world last
year. It will be all the worse , as the average
bronco has creator powers of endurance
than the Kurope.m horse , and on that
account will bo pressed so much tlio harder ,
having to' ' endure proportionately greater
suffering botoro succumbing to the Inovltn ,
