Baltimore, Md., Feb. 23.—The British
steamer Victoria, C’apt. Wetherell, has ar-
rived here from Hull via Hampton Roads
With four of the crew of 1 lie missing
Hamburg-American liner Bulgaria. The
rescued men are: Second mate, O.
Scharges; quartermaster, Carl Ludkte;
John Schulz and Seaman Wm. Stake. .
They were, picked up by the Victoria
from an open boat of the Bulgaria, three
hours after they had been cast adrift Feb.
5. These, with the 25 women and children
who were picked! up by thei tank steamer
Weehawken and landed in Pont del Gada,
Azores, a week ago, are all that have been
heard from of the crew of 89 men and 41
passengers whichAhe Bulgaria, had aboard
when she sailed^from New York for Bre-
men. It is feared'-the remainder are. lost.
The Bulgaria .bird no accommodations
for first-class passengers; and all the pas-
sengers on board Avere in the steerage.
They were mostly Germans from different
parts of the United States. She was not
a regular liner, and had! been in the
service of the Hamburg-American line
about a year.

Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 23.—Sir Wilfrid Lau-

as to the outcome of the meetings of the
international commission, stated that he
must decline to be interviwed on the ques-
tion. “The statment given to the Asso-
ciated Press at Washington a couple of
days ago by Senator Faulkner and my-
self,” said he, “is authentic and may be
taken as correct. Further than this,” he
added, “I can'say nothing and must posi-
tively decline to speak for publication.”

“THE CARPETBAGGER.”
If ever the advance notices of any at-
traction were true to the letter they were
true of “The Carpetbagger.” It was her-
alded in the papers as a bright political
romantic comedy and that the company
with Tim Murpphy .in the lead was com-
posed of talented artists. Those who wit-
nessed the play yesterday fully indorsed
the representation.
Matinee and night performances were
not patronized as the company deserved,
but the audiences were intelligent and
appreciative. “The> Carpetbagger” is the
joint product of Opie Read, the well known
novelist, and Frank S. Pixley. It is writ-
tene with great cares the language is re-
fined and contains many bright sentences.
Tim Murphy is an excellent actor and im-
personates the carpetbagger governor of a
southern state in a thoroughly natural
manner. He is surrounded by an organi-
zation that includes Miss Dorothy -Sherrod,
Miss Nellie Yale Nelson, Miss Charlotte
Lambert, Miss Aubrey Powell, Messrs.
Ogden Stevens, J. R.‘ Armstrong, Olney J.
Griffin, James Manley, Ralph Thomas and
John Hampton.
The finale of each act is a “picture with-
out words,” which reflects the pure.senti-
ments and noble thoughts that underlie
the play.
There were several curtain calls.
NEW ARKANSAS CAPITOL.
Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 23.—Senator Kim-
ball has introduced a bill for the erection
of a new state capital building. The bill
provides for an immediate appropriation
of $50,000 to start the work, this fund to
be derived from the sale of public lands
other than school lands during the next
two years. The bill further provides that
the cost of the new statgjhojse shall not
exceed $1,000,000- and that f^pte convicts
may be employed n^rormance of
- F-e^h rabor.
MME. SCALCHI.
Mme. Scalchi and her concert company
are booked for the Grand td'morrow night.
In these days when the love for music is
universal it is not to be wondered at that
famous opera singers like Scalchi draw
large audiences. Formerly it was society
folk only that attended operatic perform-
ances. Perhaps the revolution in the scale
of prices charged has been one of the most
important factors in bringing this about.
It is only a few years ago -when it cost $5
to hear a famous operatic star. Today the
prices are within the reach of all, and in
consequence a great impetus has been
given to the cultivation of the voice.
The acts of operas will be presented in
costume, with scenery, etc., and will be
preceded by a concert program, all the
company taking part.
A Way Opened by the Barry Resolution
Last Monday.
It will be remembered that at the meet-
ing of the city council on Monday last the
following resolution, introduced by Aider-
man Barry, was adopted:
“Whereas, there exists an indisposition
on the part of the Sewer company to ac-
cept the mandates laid down by the com-
mittee of the city council having control
of the sewerage arbitration, and
/‘Whereas, this administration is fast
drawing to a close, and it being to the best
interests and welfare of this community
that this council, including his honor, the
mayor, take it upon themselves to bring
this matter to a speedy and satisfactory
settlement as soon as possible through its
arbitrator, be it
“Resolved, that the committee having
this arbitration matter in hand be in-
creased to a committee of the whole, in-
cluding his honor, the mayor, and that
each member be authorized and requested
to select each a man from the business
community, say, in all, 13 names, and to
be submitted direct, inclosed in an en-
velope, by each member of the council
to the city’s arbitrator for submission to
the Sewer company’s arbitrator to make a
selection from. And in the event the
Sewer company’s arbitrator declines or
fails to select one of the 13 names pre-.
•sented by the city’s arbitrator, then this
arbitration matter be declared off, and the
same be relegated to the courts for settle-
ment.”
Now, why' is not this the proper way to
bring about A settlement of the sewerage-
matter? The people are getting restless
under the delay that has been evident
heretofore, and it is high time that the
city apd Sev/er company get together on
the details of thp trade and settle the
amount the city is to pay for the private
plant. The Barry resolution opens the
way for such getting together. The coun-
cil can select the men to be offered as ar-
bitrators on the part of the city, one at a
time, and failing the acceptance of each
name as it is offered to the city’s arbi-
trator by the Sewer company, the private
company then can select a name, and if
that is rejected, then the city can send
in another name, and so on. The summer
season is creeping along fast, and if any-
thing is to be done this season it should
be done right away. If this administra-
tion is to settle the sewer matter it must
be done soon, for there is an election t.o
come off in June, and city fathers are not'
always the same men each administration.
There has been so much delay and fiddling
around since the arbitration matter was
adopted that the people would welcome a
just agreement at the earliest possible
moment.
Much interest is manifested in the voting
contest for the most popular teacher for
the Tribune’s Free Trip to Europe. Those
who are being voted for have every reason
to feel proud of the number of votes cast
for them.
There is no telling what changes in the
positions of the teachers will occur, for
up to 6 o’clock Tuesday evening there
were not a hundred votes separating the
leader from the last out of the thousands
of votes already sent in. This is going to
be a contest that is a contest. Each one
now in the race has as much chance as
the next one. Friends and scholars alike
are working early and late for their fa-
vorites.
Below is the list of schools in alpha-
betical order. We want The Tribune read-
ers to understand that this arrangement
is for convenience in locating the teach-
ers. The leading teacher in the entire
race of course leads only the school she
is classed in, and that school maybe sec-
ond, third or last in the list of schools.
This is to explain that the first teacher in
the entire list of schools is not placed
there to represent the teacher having so
far received the most votes in the contest.
Still, ,the race is so close that but a few
votes separate the highest from the low-
est.

. Mrs. Raoul Dreyfus, 2012 avenue L, en-
tertained in an original manner yesterday
afternoon in honor of Washington’s birth-,
day. It was in the nature of a colonial
party and the house- was apiii’opriately
decorated in! the national colors. Red,
white and blue score- cards in the form
of little hatchets were psed. Questions
regarding the different events of tlie life
of Washington were asked and anagrams
containing the names of statesmen, of that
period were given. There were pictures
of Washington crossing. the- Delaware.
How many cherries on a picture of the
famous cherry tree had to be guessed.
The last question, was who could make,
the greatest number of words- out of the
name of Washington. The first prize; a
fine steel engraving of Gen. Washington,
.was won by Miss Blanche Heidenheimer.
Among those present were: Mmes. M. C.
Michael, L. W. Levy. Rose H. Heidenhei-
mer, Lily Levy of Denver, Jack Isaacs,
Mrs. Levy of Virginia, S. Levy, Gus Levy
and Seeskind. Misses Heidenheimer,

Informal chafing dish supper at her home
on avenue O.
The George Washington chapter, Daugh-
ters of thd American Revolution, met yes-
terday afternoon at the home of the
regent, Mrs. Thomas Jared Groce, O and
SOth. It was more in the nature of a
business than a social meeting yesterday,
Iis the chapter always elects officers for
the ensuing year on Feb. 22.
The reports of the various officers were
l?ead. Four’ new members were admitted
[Ind 14 applications for membership were
;.‘ead. A transfer from Evansville, Ind.,
'vas made in favor of Mrs. Lloyd Fitz-
lugh, and Miss Eugenia Washington’s
ransfer card was also received. The
•hapter feels honored in having Miss
Washington as a member, as her number
; 1. She is also an honorary vice presi-
?ent general for life, and is one of the
..bunders of the society and one of the
Lour original members of the organization
to whom congress voted medals for appre-
ciation of services during the late war.
The regent stated that it was most fitting
that this chapter should have Miss Wash-
ington as a member, because this is the
only chapter that is named in honor of
Gen. Washington. The secretarjq Mrs. J.
Edwin Thompson, read a graceful note
from Miss Washington expressing her
pleasure at being elected a member of
this distinguished chapter.
The regent then proposed to the chapter
the nomination of a regular program
committee to arrange a program for their
meetings and proposed the names of Mrs.
J. -Sidney Wheless, Mrs. Quitman Finley
apd Mrs. John C. Walker. This was
■ Ydjjpted- The nomination of officers for

GENTRY’S PARADE.
“Pinto,” the smallest elephant that
treads the.earth, walked upon Galveston
streets in the beautiful and unique parade
•given by Prof. Crentry’s dog and pony
show at about 11 o’clock this morning,
Pinto is a curiosity of the kind that are
seldom seen—one of theJuntbo type on the
watch-charm order. She is -a perfect and
tiny mammoth and indeed fully worthy
of the amount of admiration that was be-
stowed upon her.
The parade was made up of handsome
animals and beautiful vehicles—a com-
bination that goes far to interest the
casual spectator and to delight children.
The ponies* and dogs werqb evidently se-
lected with a strict regard for beauty as
well as intelligence. A score or so- of
mon-keys also took part in the procession.
The first performance- diven by the
academy of educated animals* was given
at Rosenberg avenue (25th‘ street), near
Postoffice street, this after-hoon, and all
claims for newness, and originality were
kept to the- letter. Entertainments will be
given tonight, tomorrow amd Saturday,
both afternoon and night.

Lane have been probably fat-ally injured
and their residence literally blown to
pieces by an explosion, of gas which was
escaping in the cellar and which Miss
Lane accidentally ignited. Both women
were buried in/jhe debris.

G ALV-ESTOJN TRIBUN .Sidney Wheless; acting librarian, Miss j
_______________ Lillian Seeligsoh.
The meeting adjourned to listen to a
vocal solo by Mrs. C. Rodewald Byrne,
whose charming voice was heard the first
time -this season. Her singing so pleased
her friend's that she graciously responded
to an encore/ Mrs. Charles Fowler and
Mrs. J. J. Hanna rendered pleading vocal
selections. The soloists were admirably
accompanied by Mrs. L. J. Selby. A large
number of guests were present.
The permanent decorations of the de-
lightful home are rich and artistic, and
for this reason the extra floral decorations
yesterday were tasteful but simple. Palms
and ferns were grouped about the corri-
dors and library and the dining table was
ornamented with a lovely centerpiece of
azaleas. Dainty refreshments were
served.
To write about this society is always a
pleasure, and the subject is so fruitful
that one does not know where to stop. Its
objects are so praiseworthy that too much
can not be said about it.
The next meeting! of the chapter will be
held at the residence of Mrs. George
Briggs, where the regent will show and
have read a paper that she has received
through the courtesy of Mrs. Paul Jones.
It is called “The Ulster County -Gazette,”
and was published in Kingston, N. Y.,
Saturday. Jan. 4, 1800, and is in mourning
for Gen. Washington. It contains expres-
sions of condolence from congress, a
speech on Washington’s death by Chief
Justice Marshall, of whose family the
present regent is a. descendant; a full de-
scription of Wasiyijgton’s. coffin and his
funeral, and numerous quaint advertise-
ments. It is a relic that any one would be
proud to possess.
How a Resourceful Woman Employs One
of the Rosenberg Fountains.
The late Henry Rosenberg and the
executors of his estate had no conception
when they - planned the building of the
multitude of public fountains- that dot the
city of Galveston of what a variety of uses
they would be put to. Slowly but surely,
however, the polyglot population of Gal-
veston is discovering new ways and
means for the utilization of these- institu-
tions and there’s no telling where the fer-
tile minds of an ingenious and resourceful
people will lead us to.
One of the Rosenberg fountains is* situ-
ated at 24th street and Ball avenue-. If
you ■ are not particular as to what you
sa.y you may be led to- say it is a hand-
some and ornamental piece of masonry.
Since Ball avenue has been paved it has
become one of the main arteries of travel
and the fountain at 24th street is now
patronized quite extensively.
The stopping of vehicles in order that
horses' may slake their thirst at the foun-
tain in question has- become so common
as to- no longer attract attention, but
lately one of the women who lives near
by has discovered that the fountain af-
fords accommodations for washing clothes
that are superior to anything she can
rustle up at her home and she has- started
a practice that may become general when
its merits become generally known.
Once or twice a week she may be seen
with a flock of children about her scour-
ing shirts, socks> sheets; pillow cases, un-
mentionables and other things-. The- big4-
granite basin of the fountain is- an excel-
lent substitute for a wash board and the
skillful woman has- already discovered a
means of regulating the supply of water
that flowsi into her “wash tub.” With
the many conveniences; that she finds* at
hand at the* fountain the woman is en-
abled to do her washing much quicker and
better than at home and she is loud, in
her praises of the man whose beneficence
has furnished such a useful adjunct to life
in Galveston.
Some of these days we may expect the
public to appreciate what excellent facili-
ties these fountains afford for bathing the
babies.
When this comes to pass- we will be
truly happy.

’Twas very cold, and a.glass of Galveston

Owing to the brilliant success of A. K.
Hawkes, the famous Atlanta Optician, he
has been induced to visit Galveston again,
and will remain at the store of his agent,
J. J. Schott, for thirty days only, begining
Feb’y 27th. This will accommodate the
hundreds who were disappointed by not
being fitted with his celebrated glasses be-
cause of the numbers constantly in waiting
during his limited stay in the city.
Eye Sight Tested Free
by one of the most renowned and suc-
cessful as well as reliable Opticians in the
U. S. Mr. Hawkes has the modern ap-_
pliances for scientific adjustment of
glasses to the eye. There is no Optician
in the U. -S. who enjoys the confidence of
the people more than Mr. Hawkes. His
name is a familiar word throughout a sec-
tion of country inhabited by over TWEN-
TY-FIVE MILLIONS of people. -Mr.
Hawkes has probably adjusted glasses to
the eyes of more people of national and
international fame than any other optic-
ian living. This firm was established in
1870.
EYE STRAIN
is often the cause of headache, dizziness,
nervousness and dimness of vision. This
can be cured in many cases by the correct
fitting of his Crystallized lenses to the
eye. Call early, he positively remains but
30 days, as he has other engagements for
later elates.
CAUTION—I would caution the public J
against buying spectacles from peddlers,
going from house to house with a lot of
spectacles, representing them to be
Hawkes’ or selling the same grade of
goods. Hawkes’ spectacles are NEVER
peddled. Many of the inferior glasses
that flood the country are positively injur-
ious to the eye.
From Ex-President of U. S. Grover
Cleveland.
Executive Mansion, Washington,
Dec. 2, 1895.
A. K. Hawkes. Esq.—My Dear Sir: I
find your Crystallized Lenses well suited
to my eyes for far seeing. And I shall
enjoy them on my shooting trips.
Yours very truly.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The Great War/ior and Statesman.
Mr. A. K. Hawkes.—Dear Sir: When I
require the use of . glasses I wear your
pantiscopic Crystallized Lenses. In re-
spect to brilliancy and clearness of vision,
they are superior to any glasses I have
ever used. Respectfully,
FITZHUGH LEE,
Consul General to Cuba.
One of Our Greatest Statesmen.
Mr. A. K. Hawkes.—Dear Sir:
pantiscopic glasses you furnished me some
time since have given excellent satisfac-
tion. I have tested them by use, and
must say they are unsurpassed in clear-
ness and brilliancy by any that I have
ever worn. Respectfully,
GEN. JOHN B. GORDON,
Ex-Gov. of Ga. and U. S. Senator.
MAY FREEZE AGAIN.
COLD WAVE IN NORTH TEXAS.
FAIR;
Temperature at Galveston May
Drop to 32 Degrees.
Headed This Way and Should Arrive
Some Time ToniKht—Shut Off
Water and Cover Plants,
That one swallow does not make a sum-
mer or a few clays of bright, sunshiny
weather put an end to winter is likely to
be proven tonight, for the local forecaster,
who, from his eyrie perch just next to the
sky end of the Levy building, measures
the winds and the rains and watches the
actions of the elements, says we’re going
to have a cold snap and that it is likely
to freeze.
Talk about your g-lorious climate of
California, it’s no-t in it with south Texas
in this day and generation. Last week it
was cold enough to make a polar bear
think he was -close to home and mother,
yesterday it was so balmy and bright that
you could appear in an overcoat or in the
“alltogether,” whichever you chose or pre-
ferred without discomfort, and now we are
to have a touch of weather that is pro-
fessionally known as of the “plumber’s
delight” kind.
If you have any plants or flowers that
you cherish - it wouldn’t be a bad idea to
adopt the McKinley policy and protect
them with any old thing in the way of
wraps that you find handy about the
house and you don’t think
your own health. a^ ’Ymiort. If "your
water. .’g^SHare. exposed or in clanger it
-Vv-bTfild be well to guard them against freez-
ing.
The local forecaster of the weather bu-
reau says this cold wave have been ap-
proaching leisurely, moving slowly, but
steadily from the northwest. The night
before last the bureau predicted a cold
wave f6r northwestern Texas. The predic-
tion was verified. Last night the bureau
predicted a cold wave for all of northern
Texas for today. That prediction was
verified. This morning the bureau pre-
dicts a cold wave for tlie coast region to-
night and tomorrow.
The special prediction of this morning
is as follows:
FOR GALVESTON AND VICINITY:
MUCH COLDER TONIGHT,
WITH COLD WAVE AND TEMPERA-
TURE ABOUT 32 AT GALVESTON AND
26 DEGREES- OR LOWER 50 TO 100
MILES FROM GALVESTON. HIGH
NORTHERLY WINDS-.
If any one should interrogate you about
the matter, 32 is freezing.
How long the cold wave will linger the
weather doctor does not prognosticate.
It was 18 above at Abilene this morning.
At 7 o’clock the cold wave had reached
Palestine and freezing weather was re-
ported.
At the same hour San Antonio reported
the temperature at 34 degrees.
