from the 111-fated field by frIends.
Everywhere In the city are excited groups
of icople discussing the disaster the significant -
nificant proportions of which all have at
last come to reillze. The streets present
some saddening contrasts In the coronation
decoration , very few of which have yet
been roinoveil , and the gayly decorated populace -
ulaco , who have escaped with their friends ,
contlnuo their holiday merriment , while
every few yards men are carrying colTins on
their shoulders or across their knees in
droskies. 'die police and a force of aol-
diora with fixed bayonets have been kop-
Ing order all day at the cemetery , where
an unending stream of people have been
passing. All day there were most affectitig
eights , relatives and priests praying here
and there beside the dead ranged upon the
grounl , surrounded by still larger numQers
of the unidentified dead. Most of these

LONDON , May 30.-The dinner given today
by all time United States consuis in the
United Kingdom to lien. Patrick A. Collins ,
the United States consul general , was a notable -
blo gathering. It was considered a great
compliment to an emflcient official , Among
timoso present were Ambassador Bayard antI
Joseph Pulitzer of time New York World.
An iihumninated complimentary address was
presented to Consul General Collins , To time
toast , "Tho Guests of the Evening , " General
CollIns made a fitting rem'ponse.
Time apeecim of time evening was mache by
Henry Wattora'on of time Louisville CourIer-
Journal In response to a toast , lcnioriai
Day. " It , in fact , created a sensation , Mr.
Watterson began time main prtlon of hIs address -
dress by replying to tile statement made by
T. I' . O'Connor , M , I' , , in his paper , time
Sun , at time time of time Venezuelan trouble.
In his statement Mr. Connor asoerted that
time soutim would have to be reckoned with
in case the United States enmbarked on a
foreign rar , Mr.Vatterson , In repelling the
mwsertions of Mr. O'Connor , said that among
thmosa vhio fought s veii anti valiantly dur-
lug tIme "late unpleasantness , " as welt as
among tlmelr deccnt1ants , timere was but one
feeling-a feeling of thankfcmiimess timat God
imad ialih the wciglmt of his lmatmd upon the
confederacy anti preserved time American
unIon. Continuing , Mr. Watterson said : " 1
confess that I am a jinga , htmL I learned the
1es3m1 antI got the cry 'Greatnei' anti Glory'
from England , It goes without saying and
shouid need no self-seeking flunkey , eager
for social recognitioim , no reoonant hip service
dcHghted to imave an audience and rejoicing
at the sound of hits own voice , to Impress the
intelligent Englishman with time truth that
1o true American desires anything but the
nest cordial relations of frienth'hlp with
England. At the mamne titne a conminon Ian-
guago did not prevent the United States from
going to war with Emiglacmd on two occasionii.
Talk of common interests is rather imaginary
than real.O are of a common origin and of
a common blood witlmout a doubt , and that
means that we are good fighters , who may
be counted each tostammd by his own. War
would certainly be' a dreadful alternative , but
there are yet greater evils that may overwhelm -
whelm mankind than var , the obliteration
of which from hunman experience makes
: ha emnascuhation of time human species merely
a question of time. It was the spirit of
the Anglo-Saxon race that placed England
wimero it is today. Ita warriors are no more
forgotten in its history than are its sages.
Tb the eamo martial spirit the American
minion owes what It is today , and upon this
: iio United States must rely to maintain its
position atnomig time nations of time world.
"If , in recalling the heroic deeds of these
in whose memory we drink tonight , I take
leave to hmokL our national bunting a little
higher timan the duke of York's column , if I
also trail In time pe'aple's imonmage before
that dome where lie the remains of Wellington -
ton 'anti Nelson , I certainly do not mean to
board thmo lion In his den nor twist his tail
wimen I remind Englishmen that we , too ,
have In Shornman , Lee , Farragut and Stonewall -
wall Jackson Anglo-Saxon noldiers and
sailors whom all of the Britons should delight -
light to honor. "
General Collins , in respondlng to calls for
the guest of the evening , was received witim
the greatest enthusiasm. His adt1ross was
filled with points of a specific nature , iargely
relating to the cimaracter of American consular -
sular representatives in dreat Britain. lie
alluded to howard Fox , consul at Falmouth ,
whose grandfather was appointed to time same
poaltion by Washington , whose father vas
appointed to time same post by Monroe ,
\'iiose doctrine Dr. Collins believed was gen-
craily accepted hero in England. This remark -
mark was greeted witim cheers and haugImter.
Ambassador Bayartl , in repommding to time
toast , "Diplomats , " dwelt upon the great
courtesy accorded American representatives
to Grrat flrtain.

WASHINGTON , May 21.-Time senate will
begini the week with tire imitention of making
IL the last of time session if possible. Sonic
senators put thmo day of adjournment as early
as Timursday , and still otimers think It. will
ho impossible to conclude before the first
day of next week ,
Time imperative work before the senate in
order to reach adjournment is to dispose
of the conference reports on the ordinary appropriation -
propriation bills , to vote upon the bond pro-
hmlbitory bill , antI to consider time proposition
to pass time river and harbor bill over the
prem.'tdent's veto in case the bill receives
the necessary two-thirds vote in time house
to bring it to time senate. Seine senators ,
probably a majority , also feel timey are under
chiligationo to press time filled cheese bill tea
a final issue , but there is a auiflciently strong
minority opposed to this measure to prevent -
vent congress roimmaining in session for time
solo purpose of passing it after time appro-
iwiation biilm are out of the way. It would ,
therefore , appear that time hope of the friends
of this bill must rest upon gettlmmg it thirougim
before au time appropriation conference me-
ports are disposed of.
Considerable time i'iii necessarily be spent
upon bills upon time calendar to which no
objection is made , and also in executive sea-
Uons on nominations awaiting confirmation ,
Senator Morgan probably will make an effort
to get up the Ccmban question.
The nnti-boimd bill will be pressed to a
finish before adjournment Thursday unless
tiraro should bo a violation of the unanimous
agreement winch was entered into cmi Fri-
day. Time debate on this bill will consume
time greater part of the seoslon after 2 o'clock
Monday and Tmmosday anti it is possible It
may ho neceeary to extend time Tuesday
seesiori into the nIght in order to give all
'imo may wish to speak an opportunity to do
so. Senator Butler' has by no moans finished
his speech on this bill , Senator Brown has
given mmotice of a set speech and Senator Cul-
horn is also anxious to fimid opportunity for
tiio delivery of a prepared epeecim. It is
believed the bond bill will imavo a majority
of about five votes in its favor.
Time appropriation bills , stihh in conference

not probable much tinme will be allowed
for debate. The conference reports will be
given the right of way whenever present -

Under the rules time last six days of time

PITTSI3UILG , I'a , , May 31.-Time twenty-
eighth national aaengerfet , which meets in
this city on June 8 , will , so far as the general -
eral public Is concerned , be a pureiy musical
event , and as such certainly promises to be
the most glorious fstlvai of song anti
mmmelody that ever took place In the Iron city ,
But for the sngers composIng the North
AmerIcan Saengerbund , and also all other
singing societies taking general interest In
time eromotton and perfection of choral song
tue conning saengerfest wIll have beside the
immuilcal hart 501110 other Important features.
Nqt altogether for social pleasure the singers
will connie to this CII ) ' , CS the trannactioti of
important business in regard to Saengerbund
matters is awaiting themn.
Time most immmportarit nmatter of all will be
the projected reorganization of tire Snenger-
bend , and arnomig time proposed changes of time
constitution anti by-laws is time election of
a pernmanent central board , which at present
is elected every tiiree years by time singing
societies of time city chosen for holding time
next t'aengerfest. There are also to be nimulo
sonic new rules in regard to money mmmatter ,
mis it is the intention to decrease time nnmcmtmnt
of expense to be haiti by time city giving the
saengerf cat.
Another important question to be considered -
sidered by tine delegates will be that of joining -
ing time International Saengerbtmnd and of
taking part In tIme next international saenger-
lest to be hielti at Stuttgart , Germrmany , by
time singers from all civilized countries of the
globe ,
A timlrd qtmestion of vital Importance will
be that of clecimling on the place of holding
time twent-mnintii mmatlonal saengerfest , w'imiclm
will be time celcbratioim of tint golden jubilee
of the North Ammierlcan Saengcrbrmntl.
Time Saemmgerbund 'va-s orgaimizeti at Cimi-
cinmnati in 1819 , anti in that city was held time
first snengerfost by five singing societies ,
time Cincinnati Ltelertatel , Oosangtmmmtl , liii-
dtmngsvcroin , Svss Maenmmerchoir of Clncin-
imati , time Lietlarkrans of Loulsvlhle , and the
Deutseimo Gosangs'ereln of Madison , Intl. It ,
therefore , would be only natural that time
gchden jubilee of time bond should be edo-
brated at the place of Its bIrth , at the
"Queen of the \'cst , " In that city were held
time smaengerfet'ts or 1849 , 1861 , 1S56 , ISTO and
1879 , antI all were successful. Time siimgng
societies in Cincitmnniti , having amrimmoI a
joint organizatIon ummder time naimme of "The
United S'ngers of Cincinnati , " are making
powerful efforts to have their city made the
cimuice for celebrating tIme fiftieth anniversary
of the Saengerbund , arid it seems that their
efforts will have their desred result. Time
aaengerfest of 1890 wilt mmot only be a nfl-
tonai. but an international one , as all the
larger singing societies in Germany amid
Austria will be invited to hell ) celebrate.
The Cincinnati singers say they will leave
nothing undone to make time snengerfest aim
event that will surpas.s by its slmielidor everything -
thing in that line ever seen 1mm the United
States.
Probably time only oppositlon that will be
maths to Cincinnati will be by time delegates
fronim the St. Louis singing aocietiemr.
