Mr. FosteV, accompanied by Mr. Lincoln, this afternoon went to hear the debate in the House pi'Lords, but the House .sat for only 20 minutes, the officials simply going through the formal business. As Mr. Fos ter had been advised beforehand that the House of Peers was the dullest assembly in the world, he conld not have been disap pointed. In an interview, Mr. Foster said that it is impossible to disclose the nature bf his. conversation with Mr. Goschen. They re ferred to a currency conference, but the matter had not been discussed at any length. The correspondent "having referred to the confidence felt in America that 'such a con ference would be arranged, Mr. Foster said that he hoped that the confidence was not misplaced, and that if a satisfactory basis can be obtained he will not hesitate to confer. Mr. Foster's attention being called to the weakness of the In-metallic section in the German Beichstag as bad for the prospects of such a conference, and also to. the Austro Hungarian project to return to cash pay ments under a gold standard, said: Bl-Metalllc Sentiment In England. Of course, we are perfectly aware of these difficulties; bnt I have been surprised to find so triucli interest taken in bi-niettalism in England and the extent to which public opinion is going in favor of a double stand ard.

Some of the English'papers have re produced the substance of the interview with Mr. Foster cabled to Jfew York Thurs day last Referring to the published ac count of the interview, Mr. Foster said, "the phrase 'clam-mouthed,' as applied to Irish emigrants, is not mine. I used the familiar phrase, 'flannel mouth,' to denote the raw emigrant whose children become assimilated with the good American type.

A dispatch from Yokohama says that a serious division of feeling has arisen between the Engltgh and American colonies relative to the shoot ing of George Gower 'Robinson, the English banker, by Lieutenant J. H. Hetherington, of the United States Navy. Under the existing treaties with Japan,Lieutenant Hetherinton will be tried by the American. Consular Court, but the English are watching the case very jealously, and should Hetherington be ac- uuiiieu or let on ivun a. ugni penalty, mere will probably, judging from existing feel ing, be reprisals in form. Eobinson was verv popular among the English colony, and his friends claim that there was no good cause or excuse for Hetherington taking the law in his own hands. The case has already led to verv strained relations between English and American society in Japan, and some of the leading English have given the cut direct to their American acquaintances, especially of the official class.

Sen ator Endres, of Buffalo, had introduced the resolution, which went over from time to time until made a special order this even ing. It proposed,to have a Senate commit tee Investigate the Keeley cure and find out everything about it "We might as well undertake to investi gate the workings of cod liver oil," said Senator CoggeshalL "What business is this of the State? We are not called to find out what patent medicines are -made of or to look after' the health of the people, who know what they are doing. Where would this course end? All . this is a proper sub ject for the State Board of Health, which was created for that purpose." Whisky Cannot Kill Democrats. "The Democrats have no interest in this investigation," said Senator McCarren. "Mostot the inmates at White Plains are Republicans." "Yon can't kill a Democrat with whisky' retaliated Senator CoggeshalL 'It takes dynamite to kill a Democrat, and it depends on what part of his b:dy the dynamite strikes." Senator McCalland said that the Keeley Institute was at White Plains in his dis trict, and that he knew something about its workines. Seventy-seven per cent of the patients were cured. The Keeley Institute did not object to an investigation, only they wanted to have it settled whether or not the Senate was going to investigate them, as the uncertainty hurt their busi ness. ' ,The Ber. Senator Edwards was heartily in favor of the Keeley cure. He spoke of it as an anti-dbte to rum and bringing of peace and happiness back to tens of thou sands of wrecked homes. He believed that the State should further and not hinder or embarrass the work of reclaiming drunk ards. A' Letter That Was Not Read.

Before Alderman McMasters he charged Matthew Stewart with neglecting his three .minor children. Stewart keeps' a grocery store at 95 Jackson street, Allegheny, owns the building he occupies and is said to be well to do. Agent O'Brien alleges that he sent his wife to an institution in Ohio be cause of her mental incapacity for taking care of herself or family, and that since that time, about a year ago, he has failed to have his children properly cared for. The de fendant gave bail for'a triai,by jury. Before Alderman Burns the. agent sued Mamie Connelly for harboring and retain ing three minor children. The defendant, has two rooms at Sixteenth and Penu avenue,where she lives and keeps the chil dren.

Andrew Bing was sued for' ill-treating his father and mother and three smaller sis ters and a brother. The family lives on Second avenue near the Tenth street bridge, and it is alleged the defendant abnses them and kicks the children until they are cov ered with black and blue marks. -Another defendant in a suit before Alder man Bohellman, of Allegheny, is a man whose last .name is Yersler. The' agent charges him with aggravated, assault and battery on his 14-year-old daughter.

About five years ago Halsey Jb. De Baud was welHcnown to theatrical people as a clever theatrical architect. He nsed to have an office in' the same building as H. S.Taylor,- Edward Zimmerman, Sanger,- and other dramatic; agents and managers. De Baud was known as '.'Newark," because he lived in that town and would go home every evening while the rest stayed in the city to gossip along Broadway. ' . But DeBaud'was not particularly success ful and he disappeared from view. It was not until about a month, ago that he turned up again on Broadway, but he no longer was the struggling young architect.. He drove up to the door of H. a Taylor's dra matic agency in a swell brougham drawn by two fine horses. With him was a man whom he presented to his old associate as Mr. Sears, his personal attorney. He called on Mr. Taylor and engaged an office in his building, and in a few days installed a pretty typewriter there, 'who ticked away on the keys from morning until night. In Business at "Niagara Falls. ' DeBaud would be absent for several days at a time, and his typewriter said he hod gone to Buffalo or Niagara Falls. -The great milling industry which it 'is hoped will be developed at the falls by means of the tunnel, now in construction will tend to increase the size of 'the town, and the authorities are preparing for a boom. DeBaud entered into partnership with W. C. Jotinspn, and the two drew up a plan for constructing a sys tem of sewerage which "they presented to the town council with such good success as to get them to bond the city for $750,000 to raise money to construct the sewer. De Baud and Johnson were to receive a large percentage. DeBaud then organised the "World's Columbian Transportation, Amusement and Construction Company," of which he was President, Treasurer and- Board of Directors, and came to New-York toes-, tablish his headquarters. On his cards he' put the title "Dlrecfeur General." The scheme was to construct three theaters on the plan of the Eldorado at Weehawken one in this city, one in Niagara and one in Chicago.'. Agencies were to be established in all the great x,uropean centers, ana people abroad were to be urged to buy tickets of the transporta tion company, which would enable them to stop off in these cities to witness the great performances at these theaters.

How Hermann Lost a Bios It was learned to-night that at the time De Baud made his $1,800 .contract with Hermann, he purchased from the magician an opal ring, for which he paid 190 in a check on the Cataract Bank. He took the ring to a jeweler in this city and had it mounted as a scarf pin, surrounded with diamonds. It was to be ready this morning, and was to cost 5167. Mr. Taylor said last night that a man named Douglas, a conductor on the Lake Shore Bailroad, called to see DeBaud afew days ago. He had been led to believe in the scheme and wanted to invest all his savings in the "Company." Taylor, being a 'fellow Mason, advised him to wait awhile. It is impossible to ascertain as yet how many persons have accepted DeBaud's checks on the Cataract Bank, but according to the cashier's telegram they are "numer ous." ST. PATRICK'S DAY. PARADE.
