MTJ8T WEAK SHORT SKIRTS. Tbe Telephone Girls of Chicago Are Excited Over a. New Order Chicago, March 14. The local manager of the main Chicago telephone exchange, who, a year ago, promulgated an edict that all the girls employed in the Chicago exchange be uniformly dressed in black, has just issued another remarkable ukase, which reads something like this: "Hereafter the girls employed in the main office shall wear their skirts so that they will clear the floor by three inches." There were many impromptu indignation meetings held in the cloak rooms, but no protests were offered to the order. "It would be of no use," said one of the girls, "The times are hard, and we can atlord to cut ojf'our skirts rather than to cut off our wages." Manager Tetu explains that this new move is to prevent the raising of dust in the office, which settles upon aud impairs the working of the instruments.

"The girls walk briskly about," he added, "their skirts sweeping along the floor and stirring up the dust. This lodges in the instruments and causes trouble. Our patrons are annoyed and delayed. We have to think of our patrons, you know, as well as of our employes." FROM HER CHILD! BITE Mrs. Lavary la SiirTerlnir From Blood Poisoning, and May Not Recover.

New York. March 14. Mrs. Patrick Lavary, of Second avenue, is seriously ill with blood poisoning. Her two year old child, ill with scarlet fever, buried one of its tiny teeth in a fineer of Mrs.

The war is practically over and the cause of the insurgents is a lost one. There is much rejoicing in this city at the culmination of the straggle, which has continued so many months with no result seemingly but to hamper business and destroy property.

The rebel forces have surrendered unconditionally, almost without firing a shot. The officers of the insurgent feet have taken refuge on board French and Portuguese warships. One French vessel has put to sea with many of the officers on board. It is said that Admiral Da Gama is on the British warship Siriua. The government absolutely refused to make any terms except those of unconditional surrender.

Vhen the fact became known that Da Gama had offered to capitulate, the government fleet entered the harbor quietly. As the vessels made their way up the bay they were saluted by the various government batteries. The greatest excitementprevails in the city. The streets are crowded, and everywhere can be heard the cry of Peixoto." THE SCENES AT HIOl For the last two days the streeets have been packed with people, and all the available trucks and carts have been busy carrying household irnods and personal eflects out of the city. The tram cars have been jammed until noon, when it was learned that the struggle was over.

This was most joyful news to the people, who fully expected that a battle was at hand. There has been much suffering in the city. All business houses have been closed, and it baa been very difficult to get food. The whole available police force has been on duty constantly, but there has been little disturbance. Almost the whole population is gathered in the center of the city.

Probably 100,000 persons have left the llailroad transportation to the suburbs is free. The government is feeding the poor. Great crowda haye collected on the hills, with the expectation of witnessing a battle between the two forces. The insurgent warship Aquidaban is not. in this harbor.

Villegaignon. In a short time the government forces at Ft. ArruAcao and Ft. Gragoata joined in the bombardment. The fire was not returned by the insurgents.

The bombardment was continued until o'clock, when it ceased. Castello, San Bento, Saude, Curvello and all the city batteries then opened a furious fire upon Ft. Villegaignon and the insurgents' warship Tarn and ere. The fire was also directed upon the insurgent works at Cobras island and at other places. The forces at Enchadas lowered the hospital flag and hoisted the insurgent ensign.

The garrison at Governor's island also took part in the attack on Ft. Villegaignon, which was badly hammered by the government guns. The works on Cobras island took fire bnt the Uames were soon extinguished. The firing of the batteries lasted for an hour. 2o great damage was done.

The insurgents did not fire a shot, husbanding their ammunition. At 4 o'clock the Government fleet appeared off the harbor, the torpedo boat Aurora leading. The other vessels in the fleet were, the Nictheroy, America, Jtaiou, Bahai, Tiradentea and and two steamers and five torpedo boats. Immediately upon the appearance of the squadron the rebels hauled down the white ensign from one of the ships which was lying near Enchadas and hoisted a signal, which was answered from ashore. A launch containing an officer then went from one insurgent ship to another and each vessel lowered the white flag.

Two torpedo boata from the government fleet outside then entered tbe bay. One of them went to Ft. Villegaignon. and it was shortly followed by the launch from the rebel ship. A.

few minutes later the white ensign came down from the fort, and at 5:45 o'clock the government fleet came up the bay, being a welcome sight' to, the anxious people ou shore.

Action to this effect was taken last night by the Central Board of Education.

Mr. Brewster looked relieved this morn ingi "I have given my consent to his marrying my daughter," he said. "They are engaged.

The wedding will take place, I presume, on March 2S." A question of religion will enter into the union which may be somewhat troublesome. The Count ia a Catholic and Miss Brewster is a Protestant, and. inasmuch as the Count and hia family are closely allied to the family of the Pope, Miss Brewster may be obliged to renounce Protestantism and become a Roman Catholic. Mr. Brewster would not explain iany of these questions.

The probability is that the marriage will be quietly performed the Brewster home, 24 East Sixty fourth street. THE NEWS BRIEFLY. The Excelsior Springs (Mo.)

Loxnox, March 14. The adoption of the amendment oHered by Mr. Labouchere to the Queen's speech, favoring the abolition of the House of Lords, lost night, was one of the greatest of recent surprises in the House of Commons. The vote was 147 to 14o the majority being composed of the Radicals, the McCarthyites and tbe Parnell ites seventy three of the Irish members voting for it. and the representatives of the government voting against it.

The result waa a surprise, not only to the government, but to many of the Radicals who had voted in favor of the amendment. Several of the latter avowed this evening that their object in supporting the amendment was merely to give a good division against the House of Lords. They declare that they had no idea that there was any prospect of tbe amendment being carried, it was, in fact, a jump in the dark, and a bringing up at a place at which they did not expect, to arrive. The action that will be taken by the government in view of the defeat inflicted upon it by its whilom supporters is a matter of conjecture. The prospect of the resignation of tbe Cabinet waa a general topic in the lobbies of tbe House of Commons last night.

It is expected that the Cabinet will meet to day to discuss the matter. Another incident of the evening was the issuing of a manifesto by the National Reform Union, which says that it is nseless to hope popular reforms can be achieved, even by a Liberal government, unless the powers and privileges of the House of Lords, "which enables a selfish and irresponsible clique to frustrate and mutilate such measures," be curtailed or abolished. The National Reform Union therefore calls for determined efforts to establish the self government of the British people upon a truly democratic basis aud by the abolition of the Honse of Lords. THE OOYEESMEirT'8 PLAIT, When the House of Commons met to day Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced that the government had decided to move the rejection of the amended address, in reply to the Queen's speech, when. it is put from the Chair, and to substitute a short address in reply.

The Rt. Hon. Mr. Balfour, the Conservative leader, and the Rt Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, the Unionist leader, assured the government of their support in this but Mr.

Chamberlain added that yesterday's proceedings showed it was time that the government asked their constinencies for a fresh mandate. Mr. Henry Labouchere, the Radical leader, said that the amendment to abolish the veto power of the House of Lords, which was passed yesterday, waa not intended as a. vote of want of confidence in the government, but it was intended to quicken their action in the execution, ot what the majority of its sup Loiters in the country demanded. Mr.

abouchere added that the Radicals were satisfied that the majority of yesterday evening was the best they were likely to get, and therefore they would not oppose a substitute for the address. The House of Commons was densely crowded when Sir William Vernon Harcourt announced that the government proposed to move the rejection of the amended address. During the course of his remarks the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that it was a proceeding for the govern ment made themselves responsible. They prepared to accept the entire responsibility. The avowed ooject of the amendment incorporated into the address was to raise a definite form of action to be token by the House of Commons in resisting the action of the House of Lords.

The government fully accepted the declarations made on. the subject by Mr. Gladstone in the House ol Commons. i.Loud cheers. Li MCST BE SO AMBIGUITY.

Continuing, Sir William said that Mr. Labouchere had stated that tbe amendment might be taken as a motion for the abolition of the House of Lords, or as a motion limiting the veto power. But responsible ministers, if they tendered vice to the Sovereign upon such a question, must tender no ambiguous advice. They must make np their own minds. He had 'consulted authority, and as the address did not express a delibrate amendment of the House, the government proposed to move the rejection of the amended address when it was put from the Chair; and to substitute another short address.

Sir William added that he had stated yesterday that the government proposed to oppose Balfour's doctrine' that the House of Commons was to be subject to the control of the House of Lords. Renewed cheering. The government was not pre pared to follow Mr. Labouchere's advice and create fire hundred new peers. In order to make the Government directly responsible, he (Sir William) would himself move a new address as soon as the amend ments were disposed of and the present ad dress negatived.

Mr. Balfour denied that he had ever said that the House of Lords should control the House of Commoner and called attention to the fact that ninety Unionists yesterday evening supported the government against thirty Glaastoniaus, who voted in opposition to the government. MR. LABOCCHEEE'8 REPLY. 's Mr.

Labouchere, who followed, was received with ironical cheers and laughter throughout the course of his remarks. He said, in part: "We may withdraw this address and bring in another; but the first one remains the decision of the House.

Collector of Customs Clark, at the port of Chicago, has made an interesting report to the Treasury Department to day, one chapter of which concerns the Midwsy Plaisance of the World'a Fair. Thia part of the great exposition was under the direct charge of I Deputy Collector J. E. Ralph, who makes' public some curious facta as to how the people were fooled by the so called "Blarney stone," throws out a warning about the growth of the hasheesh habit and incidentally refers to various tricks of the foreign fakirs to draw out the money of the gullible Americana. Mr.

Ralph says: "At the opening of the Irish village there was one essential thin lacking to make the 'Blarney Cajttle' a counterpart of the original structure in Ireland, and that waa the 'Blarney The manager, desirous of endowing the visitors with an opportunity for becoming famous spouters, took into his confidence James KiJey. a contractor, 1 and requested that he produce a 'Blarney Mr. Riley secured the services of Charles Thompson, an employe of ths vil i lape, sild these two men, on a dark night in June, repaired to the corner of Filty seventn street and Portland avenue, in i the city of Chicago, and there dug from the street a limestone paving block about 18 inches by 8 inches bv 10 inches in dimensions. They carried it to the villstre and placed it in a case which had been received that day in bond Case No. 97, serial 4.0U9 addressed to Thomas Baker, Irish Industrial Village.

This case contained a model of 'The Bella of Invitations were issued to the 'representatives of the Chicago paper and to Mayor Harrison, the latter accepting the invitation to officiate at the opening of the case containing the famous 'Blarney HOW it was worked, "On the day set aside for the ceremonies Mayor Harrison not be present, snd Customs Inspector E. W. Matlock was sent for to open the case. The inspector arrived with the invoice for case No. 7, serial 4,090, which stated that the case con tafrred a model of the 'Bells of valued at lie opened the case and found it checked 'one stone After properly labeling both model and stone, he made his return on the invoice: 'One stone over, estimated value This stone was then placed in the walls of tbe castle, where it 'remained during tbe balance of the Fair, and was kissed by at least 125,000 people, a fee 10 cents apiece being charged.

At the 4 close of the Fair the manager of the village1 1 desired to take the stone and exhibit it in a I store in the city of Chicago, but was in it 1 formed that he could not do so unless he I made a consumption entry on same and 3 paid the duty. This was done, and on No veinoer 24, 1893, I delivered ths stone on a duty paid permit. Both the inspector ia charge of the village and myself remained in ignorance of the history of the 'Blarney stone' untilJanuary 3, 1S04, believing up i to that time that it was imported in 'Case No. i7, serial The invoice on which consumption etitry was paid read as fol lows: 'One piece of stone from Blarney, county Cork, Ireland, value "1 wish to call the attention of the depart i ment to the fact that Inrtre quantities of hasheesh were brought into this country by the Egyptians, at ast 300 pounds being consumed and distributed on the Midway.

In another part of the report Mr. saysr "There were consumed in the Ger man village and Old Vienna 5,000 cases of j. imported wine and 6,000 kegs of beer, and; 100 cases of merchandise, for all of which consumption entry was made in this ity.

The largest consumer of foreign goods was Robert Levy, concessionary of the Turkish who at the close of the Fair received over; $10,000 refund for goods le ex ported. The second largest was tbe Irish Industrial Asi sociation, of which the Countess of Aber deen was concessionary. This village has opened a large store in the city of and promises to be a large fax tor in the importation of Irish woolens, laces and jewelry.

He is possessed of con siderable wealth and has a lucrative lair practice.
