The Socialist Bill Badly
Beaten in the Beichstag.
THAT BODY IS DISSOLVED
By Order of the Emperor, "Who Makes
a Formal Address.
SAMOA A DISTURBING ELEMENT.
Bismarck's pet measure,tbe bill providing
for the expulsion ot rabid Socialists, was de
feated in the German Beichstag yesterday
by an overwhelming vote. The session was
immediately declared at an end. Emperor
William subsequently addressed the mem
bers, but did not refer to the trouble. The
Berlin government is much annoyed be
cause of the surreptitious publication of the
Samoan treaty.

Berlin, January 25. Those favored
with tickets to the galleries of the Beichstag
to-day waited in the vain expectation of
hearing or seeing Prince Bismarck till the
last moment, when Herr Von Boetticher,
the representative ol the Chancellor, in an
nouncing the close of the session, summoned
the members to hear the imperial message in
the White Hall ol the Schloss. The crowd
held on, as if the disappointment was great.
It was lessened, however, by the anima
tion of the final debate on the Socialist bill
in the House, the orations rising to the his
toric interest of the occasion. Herr Bebel,
the Socialist, opened the debate. He de
nied that state persecution effected anything
toward the destruction of socialism. He
said he was not surprised that the Govern
ment sought to render the suppression law
permanent, but the social democracy, he de
clared was indestructible.
BOLD TJTTEKAJTCES.
The proceedings of the Government to
ward the Socialists recalled the medieval
persecution of heretics. It the masses are
incapable, as the Government alleged,of form
ing a political judgment, it was the fault of
the Government. Even the simplest minds
among the workingmen would become en
lightened as soon as the burden of the lately
voted taxes, which amounted to millions of
marks, was brought home to them. Neces
sity taught men to think.
Herr Bebel here proceeded to compare
the present administrative system of Ger
many with that of Napoleon ILL It was to
be placed to the credit of the social democ
racy, he said, that anarchism had disap
peared. Herr Host's paper, Freiheit, was
the product of secret police agents and
provocateurs. He knew as a fact that the
first publisher of the Freiheit was now a
police official at Hanover.
In concluding his speech. Herr Bebel pre
dicted that his party would be found
strong enough to destroy the present major
ity in the Beichstag.
THE GOVXBNMEKT'S POSITION.
Herr Herrfurth, Minister of the Interior,
in reply to Herr Bebel, said that the law
struck at the social democracy only when in
was trespassing on the limits of the law. A
majority of Socialists clung to the doctrines
preached by the London founders of the
movement The Socialist leaders in Ger
many did not represent the masses of the
people, and least of all, the workingmen.
They represented rather those who did not
want work.
Prince Schonaich Carolath, moderate
Conservative, next spoka Hereminded the
House of the statement made by the Social
ist, Dietz, at Thursday's sitting, that the
author of the pamphlet printed in Zurich
entitled "A "Woman's Hand in German
Politics," was Duke Ernst, of Saxe Coburg
Gotha. The manuscript, it was asserted,
bad been sent to the publisher with some
hundred mark notes. The Hamburg police
had suppressed a poem, but failed to sup
press this pamphlet, though English ladies
of high rank and a German lady of exalted
position, who, though cradled in England,
had been connected with Germany lor weal
or woe for SO years, were insulted in it.
XS IXTEBSATIONAL AFFAIB.
The pamphlet had to find a publisher out
side of Germany in the Socialistic press of
Zurich. The Queen of England and her
daughter could not be insulted with impu
nity. The Prince proceeded to protest
against the article in the National Zeitung
giving as a watchword for the coming elec
tions: "Down with the Social Democrats."
Although he was a determined opponent
of the opinions of the Socialists, yet the vote
against the bill and the proeedure of the
Government should not lead to a situation
incapable of any issue but that of force.
The people, as well as the Government,
must be lelt in the certain possession of a
free choice of means for arriving at a com
mon end. .There was in social democracy a
good deal of idealism a quality gradually
becoming very rare in Germany and one
that was giving way to place-hunting.)
This closing remark was received with
bursts ol cheers from several of the political
groups in the House. The Prince received
very hearty congratulations from his friends.
The vote on the whole bill was soon after
ward taken.as the Bight abstained from any
declaration showing its willingness to accept
the bill without the expulsion clause.
A DECISIVE DEFEAT.
The Conservatives voted "no" with the
Progressists, the Center party and the So
cialists against the combined yeas of the
Imperialists and the National Liberals. The
bill was rejected by a vote of 169 against it
to 98 in favor. Only Baron TJmruhebombst,
of the Imperial party, and Herr Sedlmayn,
of the National Liberals, voted against the
bill.
As soon as the vote was concluded Herr
Boetticher, amid the suppressed excitement
of the occasion, announced that the session
was closed, and requested the deputies to
convene at the Schloss at 6 P. m. The
Emperor, surrounded by his Ministers and
the great officers of state, received the dep
uties in the White Hall of the Schloss at
that hour, and read to them the following
speech:
The past three years constitute a period of
such exceptional Importance in the develop
ment of the Empire that my feelings constrain
me to recall from the throne Itself the results
to which your labors, combined with those of
the Federal Government, have led. The Em
pire has been sorely retired by de-ith bnt in
the trials made by the loss of the Emperors,
my grandfather and my father, the loyaltv
and the strong monarchical feeling of the peo
ple have found an edifying demonstration.
PEACE AND TRANQUILITY.
The Emperor here expressed his thanks
that the changes made necessary by the de
cease of his predecessors had beeD peacefullv
and tranquilly accomplished. For that, he
said, acknowledgments were due to the
Beichstag, which with discerning patriot
ism had labored willingly to strengthen
the bonds of the Empire and
render them lastingly secure. The
position of the Empire among the
nations had been thereby assured and the
country enabled to fulfill its mission in the
world while successfully preserving the
blessings of peace and civilization. Facili
ties had been given to artisans by the ex
tension of the powers of trade guilds to
strengthen their position, and to gain in
economic prosperity the advantages of new
impulses.
It was with especial satisfaction that he
hailed the continuous application of the
recommendatiom embodied in the Imperial
message to Parliament in the year 1881, and
especially the law for the insurance of inva
lid and aged workmen. Those measures
were guarantees for the welfare of the poor.
He felt that in the future -they would be at
tended with good results and would contri
bute to the domestic peace of the fatherland.
MUCH TO BE DONE.
Although much still remained to be done
in this field be was convinced the people
would not forget what had been done. On
the ground already gained there mnst be
further building, that the people might
come to understand that the legislative
power had a warm heart for their just inter
ests, and that a satisfactory improvement in
their position could be attained only by the
preservation of order and upon the path of
peacelul and lawful progress.
It was bis urgent wish and hope that the
next Beichstag would be enabled by acting
in concert with the Government of the Fed
eral States to give an effective legal form to
the amelioration necessary in this field.
He regarded it as his most earnest and
exalted tast to labor toward the fulfillment
of this hope by the abolition of the
contributions to the widows and orphans
lund. Officials in the service of the Gov
ernment would obtain the main benefit,
which was not to be undervalued, though it
might not suffice to satisfy the just wishes of
less favorably situated classes of officials.
Moreover, "by a vote of the Federal Gov
ernment, the Beichstag would be enabled
to afford a pledge of improvement in the po
sition of middle class officials at an early
day.
THE IMPERIAL THANKS.
He concluded by saying that in his own
name and of that exalted federal Govern
ment he thanked the Deputies for their
faithful and laborious work, and hoped for
the continued peace and prosperity of the
Fatherland, and that the content of the
people proceeding therefrom might be the
Beichstag's most welcome reward for its
labors.
The absence from the speech of all politi
cal allusions and the failure to make any
mention whatever of the Socialist bill sur
prised everyone. The ceremony was con
ducted with all the imperial formalities in
the court gallery. The Empress was pres
ent with the Crown Prince Frederick Will
iam and Krsecond son, William Frederick.
The Emperor wore the uniform of the
Guards.
The deputies cheered the passages relating
to the old age and infirmity assurance law,
and the Emperor's expression of the desire
for further legislation for ameliorating the
condition of the workingmen.
AN AMERICAN SCOOP.
The foreign office was disappointed and
somewhat annoyed to learn of the publica
tion in New York of the text of the Samoan
treaty, and immediately determined to re
quest the consent of the treaty powers to
carry nut the original intention that the
three Governments should now publish the
text simultaneously.
Mr. Phelps called at the Foreign Office on
Tuesday and expressed his regret at the
surreptitious publication of the treaty. He
explained that as the Senate was now in
possession of the treaty, it alone had the
right to release the obligation of secresy.
Still, in view of the fact of publication, the
United States, he said, would not object if
Germany and Great Britain officially issued
the text of the treaty.
It was therefore arranged that the docu
ment should appear at once in the Reich
anzeiger and the London Gazette. The
treaty has met with hostile criticism from
papers of all parties. The Krcuzztitung
complains that although two-thirds of the
foreigners in Samoa are Germans and four
fifths of the trade is German, yet Germany
is given no dominant influence.
DO NOT LIKE IT AT.ALL.
The Tbssische Zeitung calls the treaty a
blow in the face for German interests. The
Germans, it says, holding the trade of the
island, are placed in the same position as
the little band of Americans.
The Hamburg strike is over, the men hav
ing accepted the shipowners' proposition
restoring wages to 85 marks per month. The
country around Cassel and Fulda is flooded.
Part of Cassel is submerged. The rain falls
in increasing torrents. The Worra, Eder
and Lab. a have overflowed their banks.
The Main and Bhine are rapidly rising and
many districts of Central Germany are
deluged. -

rSraCIJU. TZLEORUC TO THE DISFjtTCH.1
New York, January 25. George H.
Lounsberry, cashier of the New York Post
office, who shot himself at bis home at
Hackensack, Friday night, died before
daylight, and Chief Postoffice Inspector
Wheeler, who had been sent out to arrest
him, returned to this city, leaving Inspec
tors Hartshorne and Morris at the house.
He gave Mr. Van Cott the first news of
Lounsberry's death. He also reported the
refusal of Justice of the Peace Thomas H.
Cummings to issne a search warrant to de
termine whether the missing money was in
the house or not. Justice Cummings said
that the crime was not committed in New
Jersey, and that if the house was searched
there was no means of determining that any
money or property found there belonged to
the New York Postoffice.
Postmaster VanCott sent Inspector
Wb.eeler.to See United States Commissioner
Muirhead in Jersey City, and get a search
warrant from him, if possible. Mr. Muir
head refused to grant a search warrant, say
ing that the United States had no power to
issue such warrants, only where smuggling
and offenses against the revenue service
were charged. Before the Postoffice In
spectors left a member of the Louns
berry family gave the Inspectors
the key to the inner box
or compartment in the safe which
Lounsberry had declared before his death
contained the funds which were missing.
Lounsberry had said that no one but him
self would be able to get at the money, be
cause he alone had the key. This fact, to
gether with the circumstances that no
further examination of the safe has yet been
made, leads Mr. Lounsberry's iriends per
sistently to assert his innocence. They be
lieve that his character will yet be vindi
cated. Postmaster Tan Cott and his bondsmen
are interested, or course, in seeing that
Lounsberry's bondsmen make good the de
ficit. Mr. Van Cott was expecting the ap
pearance or Lounsberry's bondsmen all day.
"We know there is a deficit," said Second
Assistant Postmaster Morgan, "and that the
man is dead. We cannot take any proceed
ings against him, so there is no particular
hurry."
LUMP-JAWED CATTLE ALL EIGHT.
At Least Thnt Is the Opinion of the Farmers
of Illinois.
Monticello, III., January 25. The
following resolutions were passed by the
Central Illinois Farmers' Institute yester
day: Whereas, The Live Stock Commissioners
of Illinois have assumed the anthority to con
demn and destroy good, fat. healthy steers at
the Union Stockard, which are only affected
with small lumps ou their jaws, nnder the pre
tense of preventing the spread of contagious
diseases: and.
Whereas, We are informed by the address of
Pruf. D. Mcintosh, veterinary snrgeon of the
Illinois University, delivered before this insti
tute, that the disease called lump-Jaw in cattle
is not contagious, and that the flesh is not un
wholesome food, as long as the animal is In a
thriving condition and fats well; and.
Whereas, Years of experience with cattle
convince us that his conclusions are correct.
Resolved, That e consider tbe action of the
Live Stock Commissioners In condemning such
cattle and consigning them tp the rendering
tanks a high-handed outrage, resulting in the
ronbery of farmers and producers and enrich
ins the Union Rendering Company of Chicago,
and we respectfully request tbe Governor of
Illinois to take prompt action in the matter,
and to take steps to stop this unjust ana arbi
trary exercise of power by tho Live Stock Com
missioners. Resolved, That tbe Secretary send a copy of
these resolutions to the Governor of Illinois.
The Italian Government is making a
persistent effort to improve the quality of
horseflesh in Italy. Ithas just bought Meltorl,
the winner of the Derby in 18S5. for WOUO.
and is negotiating for the purchase of sev

keeper, being determined not to be caught by
sudden weather changes, has a rapldlj revolv

USING FINER PAPER.
Business Men Prefer tbe Best Quality, and
They Fay High Prices Tbe Chance In
Letter Heads From 1SS9 to 1890 Won't
Entail Much Loss.
"What will become of the letter heads,
and stationery of all kinds that has the
figures 188' printed at the end of the date
line?" was the question propounded to a
Dispatch reporter yesterday. His in
formant stated that there were probably
hundreds of tons of paper that would have
to be destroyed on account of the last year
of the '80's being ended. As the new year
changed the third figure to '90 and a
great many banners buisness (would not use
stationery upon which the year would have
to be written over the printed figures
"188' " it was supposed that a great loss
would ensue.
The Dispatch man proceeded to inves
tigate, and found Percy F. Smith, one of
the practical job printers of the city. To
the question as to whether there would be
any loss or not, Mr. Smith said: "No, I do
not think the loss will amount to
very much on account of the change.
The only persons who will lose anything
at all, will be the small concerns. The
heaviest consumers of stationery of this
kind had only the two figures 18' printed
. on their blanks, and of course the change
will not affect them. Those who had '188'
on their stuff a small supply on
hand at the beginning of the new year. The
fastidious tastes of some business firms will
prevent them from nsing these blanks, and
they will be thrown away.
''The railroad companies, the large mone
tary and financial institutions and other
business concerns purchase their paper in
the same manner that they purchase oil or
anything else they are constantly in use of.
The purchasing agent knows how many
blanks of a certain kind will be
used in a month, and orders ac
cordingly. The orders are generally
given in lots of 1,000. Every article
in the paper line is marked with a number,
and this department of a railroad is run so
systematically that an agent can tell about
how many blanks of all kinds be will need
for his company for the ensuing year. In
this way a large stock: of anything cannot
accumulate in the storehouse. Conse
quently there can be no loss.
"A matter that is not generally known is
the way a better quality of paper has
jumped into favor since the introduction of
the typewriter. The demand is increasing
monthly for heavy linen paper. The popu
lar style of letter-head is to have the name
of the concern at the top in large black
type. Then follows the letter written in
bine printed characters, on heavy paper;
this makes the prettiest kind of a letter.
Nobody uses the cheaper grades of paper
now. It cannot he used on a typewriter very
well, and has almost been discarded by first
class houses. The use of linen envelopes
also has almost become general. I know of
one firm in the city that pays three-quarters
of a cent for each sheet of paper used in its
correspondence. When the paper first came
out it was very expensive, but the price has
been greatly reduced within the past few
vears. It is a common thing for the'print
Ing bills of a great number of our business
houses to average $300 or $100 a quarter.
"The art of typography has so far ad
vanced that fancy printing can now be used
at a small cost Very great progress has
been and is constantly" being made in print
ing. Every man is always on the alert for
something new. New designs are evolved,
new styles of type made, and everything
done to make the printing attractive to the
eye. The old idea of a trade mark on a
common-looking bill head has been super
seded by something that is adapted to the
present day. It was a common thing to
hear old firms talking of the same billhead
they had used for 50 years. This idea has
been exploded by the demand of the public
for something better.
"I can say without fear of contradiction,
that there are few cities putting out more
printed matter than Pittsburg. Some years
ago, if it was necessary to get good, first
class printing done, people thought that
they would have to go to Buffalo,
Cleveland, Chicago or Cincinnati.
Now this is all changed.
It is not long since that a Pittsburg printing
house got out some fine ralanders. One of
them found its way into the office of the pur
chasing agent of a Southern railroad com
pany. He immediately sent a large order
for some. This shows that the work done
here is as good as can be turned out any
where else. It was said a few years ago
that-Fittsburg could not do portrait work.
This is another error. We can get out as
good portrait work as any city in the
country.
"One thing that hurt the business of the
job printer to a small extent was the ordi
nance about throwing hand bills from wag
one A great many concerns try to outdo
e ich other in the way of price lists. In
addition to using the newspapers they send
out neat little souvenirs. I know one firm
that spent $8,000 in this way. The price
lists were made of Turkey morocco."
CLASH OP CHURCH AND STATE.
A Cosln Rica Bishop nt War With tho Gov
vernment Authorities.
rsrSCUt. TW.EOBAM TO TnBDISPATCTf.t
New York, January 25. A letter re
ceived to-day from San Jose, Costa Bica,
dated January 3, says: The latest subject for
discussion at this capital is the question of
"the Minister and the Bishop." Two Sun
days ago Dr. Thiel, the learned Bishop of
the diocese, preached a sermon to a cathedral
full of people, in which he advised them not
to send their children to the Government
schools, because most of the teachers were
foreigners and Protestants. Tbe facts about
the sermon were repeated to Don Bicardo
Jimense, the present Secretary of State, of
Public Instruction and of Beligious Mat
ters, who promptly proceeded to sit upon
the Bishop. He addressed him a letter of
remonstrance and warning, which was pub
lished in the Oaceta, the official newspaper.
The document is, for a Catholic country, a
truly remarkable one. I do not know any
other Costarricense who would have pro
ceeded in Senor Jimense's way with such
promptness and decision.
The learned Bishop, immediately after
preaching the sermon in question, mounted
his mule and rode away to far Talamanca,
to visit his Indian tribes. By this time the
letter has probably reached him in his wan
derings, but as yet no reply has been
brought. The co Catolico, the principal
church paper, attempted a defense of the
Bishop, but the universal opinion is that
the Secretary of State is in the right.

Senator Quay was overrun with callers on

was among them. Senator Delamater also
had a farewell chat with Colonel Quay,
about tht former's Gubernatorial campaign.
A caucus will be held to-morrow by Bepub
lican Congressmen, to make arrangements
to oust one of the sitting members from
West Virginia on Wednesday.
rrsoM jl statt correspondent, j
Washington, January 25. For the
last two or three days Senator Q nay's house
has been simply overrun with callers.
Everybody in Pennsylvania who has a pri
vate ax to grind has apparently taken occa
sion to visit Washington during the week,
to see the junior Senator before he starts on
his Florida trip. A large number of his
callers were from the eastern part of the
State, but the western end has been well
represented.
Not all of the Senator's time on this, his
last day in Washington, however, has been
devoted to receiving visitors. He spent a
part of the morning in making farewell
calls on the several departments, and among
them was the Treasury Department. His
visit to Secretary Windom was not a very
long one and, so far as can be learned, re
sulted in no definite settlement of the Pitts
burg Surveyorship. That matter still hangs
fire, and it is thought likely thai it may not
be finally determined before Senator Quay's
return from his Southern trip, which will
probably be not before the four years' term
of Surveyor Barr expires on the 21st of
March.
AN IMPORTANT MISSION.
Hon. William Flinn, of Pittsburg, ac
companied by Mr. J. O. Brown, Chief of
the Bureau of Public Safety of that city,
was in town to-day in the interest of Cap
tain W. S. Brown, who is the compromise
candidate for the Surveyorship. They
called on both Senator Quay and Repre
sentative Dalzell and did their best to per
suade both these gentlemen that it would
be best for them to unite on Captain Brown.
They met with poor success with Bepre
sentative Dalzelf, who reiterated his cre
viously expressed "determination of standing
by Mr. Frank Case. What Mr. Quay
told them they kept to themselves.
It is possible, though, that their
interview with the Senator was of a very in
teresting nature, for another Pittsburger,
who had a conversation with them this even
ing, assured The Dispatch correspondent
that the interests of Captain Brown in the
surveyorship matter were merely incidental
to their trip, and that they were used for
the purpose of covering up a much more
important matter, which was the real object
of their visit. This, he said, was neither
more nor less than to arrange the terms of
a contract between the Magee and Quay
factions, whereby Magee was to agree to
keep his bands off of State matters and
Quay to refrain from interference in Alle
gheny county affairs.
not quite positive.
The gentleman who imparted this infor
mation was led to believe, from what Mr.
Flinn had told him, that tbe negotiations to
this end were practically completed. But
something of this nature has been previ
ously suggested, and perhaps too much
credence should not be placed in this re
port Messrs. Flinn and Brown returned
to Pittsburg this evening.
The Washington county delegation, con
sisting of Messrs. Acheson, Eagleson and
Kennedy, saw the Postmaster General again
to-day in relation to the postoffice affair at
Washington. Mr. Wanamaker told them
that the recommendation of Congress
man Bay should be honored, but that
they had better see Secretary Blaine
about it, and get him to withdraw
his request for the appointment of Mr. Sam
uel Ewing. This they tried to do. They
went to the State Department and waited
for a long time for a chance to see the Sec
retary, but there was snch a steady stream
of Senators and Representatives calling
upon him that they had finally to give up
the hope of securing an interview. They
leave for home to-night, and trust to Con
gressman Bay to secure the appointment of
his and their candidate. Mr. Underwood.
Before leaving, however, they called on Sen
ator Quay and requested him to use his in
fluence with Secretary Blaine in the matter,
he (the Senator) having already indorsed
Mr. Underwood.
Senator Delamater was also among Mr.
Quay's callers, having run down from Phil
adelphia this morning, to have a final talk
with him over the Gubernatorial situation.

HOT AT ALL SERIOUS.
Channeey Depew on the Present Prospects
of the World's Fair.
IFROU A STAIT COBrtESFONDENT.J
Washington, January 25. Chauncey
M. Depew is in Washington to attend the
meeting of the Senate Dressed Beef Commit
tee. Asked what be thought of the post
ponement of the World's Fair bill by the
New York Legislature, he replied: "I do
not believe that there is any serious opposi
tion to the bill in the Legislature. I be
lieve the postponement was made
merely in accordance with the cus
tom in the Legislature. I be
lieve that there is nothing in the opposition
of Republican leadrs, and that their ac
tion was merely to preserve the ordinary
parliamentary practice.
"But," Mr. Depew added, impressively,
"if considerableopposition is developed to
the bill, and it is not passed soon, it means
that the World's Fair is done for as far as
New York is concerned. Then, if Chicago
has the money to put up, she will get the
fair. Otherwise the whole thing will be
done for, and there will be no fair. Con
gress will not spend money for a fair in
Washington."
THE FIGHT ON WAKM0UTH.
Serious Chnrecs Brought Against the Ex
Governor by Prominent Men.
Washington, January 25. The Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day had under
consideration the nomination of ex-Governor
Warmouth (o be Collector of Customs at
New Orleans. Ex-District Attorney.
Leonard and Representative Coleman were
present, and opposed confirmation in short
speeches; but as it was stated that Mr.
Warmouth is now ill at Philadelphia, the
further consideration of the case was post
poned till next week.
Judge Morris Marks and several members
ot the Louisiana Legislature also opposed
the confirmation, charging that Warmouth
had, while Governor, increased the State
debt enormously, bad been guilty of misde
meanors and of maladministration in office,
and that be had been notoriously engaged
in "trading" politically with the Democrats
of Louisiana, to secure his own ends.

Washington, January 25. The fight
over the Pittsburg Postoffice promises to be
supplemented in that of Columbus, O. The
commission of the incumbent expires in a
few days. Over a week ago Senator Sher
man, on whom the duty of making a se
lection devolves, selected from the large list
of the aspirants Captain Gardner, and rec
ommended him to the President. News of
the Senator's action reached Columbus, and
a flood of protests came to Senator Sherman
and President Harrison.
Gardner was objected to on the ground
that he was a "Moss back," and that behind
him was the crowd of the men who ran the
office five years ago. All of the Columbus
newspapers are entering protests, and there
is "high jinks" at tbe capital of Ohio. A
telegram was received here to-day stating
that "the Dispatch will say this evening, ed
itorially, that the indications are President
Harrison and Senator Sherman are about to
make a mistake in the appointment of the
Columbus postmaster." At the Postoffice
Department it is stated that the appointment
is held in abeyance, but the indications are
that Gardner will be appointed.
IN BEHALF OF THEIEBAOE.
A Delegation of Virginia Colored Men Ap
peals to Congress.
Washington, January 25. A delega
tion of colored men from Virginia was be
fore the House Committee on the Election of
President and Vice President to-day, to talk
about the operation of the election laws in
Virginia. There were five persons in the
party, A. W. Harris, John Wilson, W. W.
Evans, P. C. Corrigan and Boss Hamilton.
They formed a committee appointed by a
convention of colored people held in Rich
mond, December 17 last, to present this
matter to Congress.
Mr. Harris was the principal speaker, and
submitted a written statement showing at
length the manner in which it was alleged
the registration laws of Virginia had been
evaded and manipulated in various Federal
elections. The statement says the colored
people of Virginia reel very keenly the un
just treatment to which they have sub
jected, and take this means of protesting
against a continuance of tbe same, andof ex
pressing their convictions as to the relations
which should exist between both races in
the Commonwealth, with respect to their
moral and material advancement, as well as
to their political rights.
DRUMMING DP MEMBERS.
A Itcpnbllcan Cnncns To-Morrovr NIgbt to
Insure n Foil Attendance.
FBOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, January 25. Just as the
House adjourned this afternoon the clerk
read a call for a caucus of the Bepublican
members, to be held on Monday evening.
The object of the cancus is to secure the
attendance of as large a number
of the Republicans as possible at
Wednesday's session of the House, when
the Committee on Elections proposes
to bring up the case of Smith versns Jack
son in the Fourth West Virginia district.
As there will be no rules under which the
case can be considered, it will be necessary
for the Republicans to have a quorum of
their own members present to carry the case
throneh.
Incidentally, at the same caucus tbe sub
ject of the new code of rules- may come up,
although Mr. Adams, of Illinois, for one,
does not see the necessity of discussing the
matter at all. "I don't see what we want
with rules;" said he this evening, "we have
the general parliamentary law, and that is
good enough for us."
SPECIMENS OF CLEMENCY.

MORE MONET FOR THEM.
Somewhat Increased Appropriations Toted
for Several Public Buildings.
Washington, January 25. The Senate
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds to-day decided to report favorably
bills increasing the appropriations for pub
lic buildings at tbe following places: El
Paso, Tex., to $200,000; Omaha, Neb., to
$2,000,000; Salt Lake City, to $300,000, or
an increase of $150,000; Martinsburg, W.

Favorable reports increasing the appro
priation for public buildings at Sacra
mento, Cat, were also presented.
BPEAK15G OF SALESLADIES.
A Tery Common Term That is Ridiculous
When Analyzed.
Sallie Joy White In "Wide Awake.
I wish to emphasize the misuse of the
term "ladies." It is improper, a mistake in
language, to speak of yourself or of any
other person as "ladies" in connection with
work of any kind. The term "lady" pre
supposes leisure. In the same way the
word "gentleman" carries a like signifi
cance. Now you know very well that the
term "gentlemen of business" is never used,
and you certainly never hear of "salesgen
tlemen." Isn't the very sound ridiculous?
And yet your man of business often is the
polished, well-bred man of society, with a
position which no one can dispute.
A few years since I was passing the sum
mer at awell-knuwn seaside resort, and in
a sudden emergency I wanted some laundry
work done. I rang for the bellboy of the
hotel and asked him to see if the laundress
could do it for me at once. He soon re
turned with this reply:
"I am sorry, Mrs. White, but the washer
lady is out."
HOW DYEING IS DONE.
Interesting Points on ihe Materials Used
and Where They Corns From.
'Washington Star.
In what manner is dyeing performed?
Dyeing simply means boiling things in cop
per kettles for the proper time in a solution
of dye and water. For what we call "fancy
colors" we use the aniline tints that are de
rived from coal tar. Every coal bed is a
mine of rainbow hues, you know. The ani
line dyes employed are chiefly for light blue,
maroon, cardinal red and such brilliant ef
fects. Woods ground to coarse powder are
largely relied upon by the dyer. For in
stance, there is santal wood for ecru, from
the Santnlwood Islands; logwood for red,
from Sicily; gallnuts for silver drabs, from
Aleppo; fustic for yellow, from Cuba, and
madder root for ecru, from the south of
France.
It has been found that madder, alternately
fed to and withheld from growing animals,
will color their bones so that in section they
will appear white and yellow in alternate
rings irom center to circumference. You
must remember that all these dyes are used
in an infinity of combinations. It is rare
that one of them is applied pure and sim
ple. One dye for crimson is obtained from
the lac insect, scraped from the bark of cer
tain trees in the East Indies.

and rice. I have traveled on French
and English trains, on English boats,
on burros, in Jinrickshas, In bullock carts, in
catamarans, sampans, gberrys, and half a
dozen other conveyances peculiar to Eastern
countries, in my trip around the world.
Significant of her determination was
her remark to the officers of the Oceanic,
which she quotes, that she would rather
reach New York successful and dead, than
alive and late. On landing in Southampton
she says:
I was hurried from the Custom House out to
where a dark train stood. A guard, as they
call them there, came along, andwith a key
large enough for a policeman's club, opened a
door and stepped into an English coach. I
must say that they leave much to be desired.
First I stumbled over something. Then I was
bothered with the odor of the oil lamp. When
I sat down I began to investigate the obstacle
which bad almost put ma into the car head
foremost. I found what looked to be a long
piece of iron, but which I learned was a foot
warmer. They think this is comfortable
traveling in England. My feetburned through
the thin soles of my shoes while I froze about
my shoulders.
CHILLY IN ITALY.
The trip through France, visit to M.Jules
Verne, etc., has been told. Her experiences
in sunnv Italy were chilly. She says:
We traveled through Italy for a whole day
and never caught a glimpse of the sun. Early
in the morning we passed through vineyards,
but later we rode along the edge of the
Adriatic sea, with a high bluff. I could see
nothing but tbe beach, a few boats polled up
on tbe sand, and the fog. On the bluff I could
occasionallv see bouses. As evening came on
wefstopped ot a station where gayly uni
formed officers and a few private citizens
louLgcd about. In the rear of tho
station the sea formed a little bay.
As the fog lifted and the sun spread over it in
its last burst of expiring splendor, the rays
touched up the colored sails on the boats that
covered the bay, making some blood
red, some sky blue, and some crimson.
On the bluff, perched in the most dangerous
looking positions on the edge of rocks were
white, castle-looking houses, while alone tbe
winding road that lead to tbls mountainous
dwelling place were groups of women clad in
brilliant colors, both beautiful and otherwise,
all watching the train.
HER EIEST ADVENTURE.
Almost n Disastrous Incident at Brlndlsl
Nearly Missed Her Boat by Stop
ping; to Send a Cable
gram Home.
At Brindisi Nellie found her first advent
ure. She had made her arrangements on
the steamer for India. She says:
I put down my handbag and went out to tbe
guard, wbo was waiting to take me to tbe tele
graph office, where a cable might be sent home.
The purser said I had not much time, nut it
could be done. The telegraph office was
in a building down a dark street. The
little room was bare, and there was
only a desk, one sheet of telegraph paper, a
bottle without any ink in it, and one pen. It
bad one small window, like a stamp-window in
a postoffice. But the office was closed, and
there was nothing to do except to wait and send
a cable from Ismalia.
. "The agent is taking a nap, but we'll get him
up." said the guard, hopof nlly, as be rang a
bell near the closed window. He rang it sev
eral times, and then the window opened with a
creak, as if long unused to business. A dark,
sleepy-looking face appeared. The guard
spoke in Italian, and I finished it up in English,
to which the man responded quite well.
NOT WELL POSTED.
I wrote my cable after answering his inquir
ies as to what country New York was in, and
paying the bill.
"Then we thought of the ship. The man
said we had but a moment,' 1 cried breath
lessly to the guard. I might possibly have
missed my ship. "Come," was all he said,
as his face paled, and we started
out of the door and down tbe narrow, dark
street. "Can you run?" he asked, quietly, and
feeling the anxiety in his tones, I felt myself
tremble. "Come. I would not have you lose
this boat for S0," cried he, and, taking my
hand, without further words we tore madly
through tho dark streets and along the water's
edge.
A whistle blew. All power seemed to leave
me. We stopped in the middle of the street
and looked blankly and hopelessly into each
othor's faces. "My boat !" I gasped, while my
heart ceased beating. And again we started in
a mad race, which brougbt us by a sudden
enre, breathless, at the foot of the plank. I
uttereU a prayer of thanks when I saw the Vic
toria still there. The boat bound for Bombay
was gone, but I was saved.
I hurried up the gangplank, leaving the
guard to bargain with tbe venders of chairs on
shore, but I would not stay on land another
second. I got my chair, testified my thanks to
the guard and went to bed, tired but happy.
Her next adventure was an offer of mar
riage, on this same steamboat. Here is how
it came about:
There was a good deal of curiosity on tbe
Victoria as to who and what I was, and what
my object was In traveling alone. In a few
days some one told me confidentially that it
was passed around on board tbat I was an
ECCENTBIC AMERICAN HEIRESS
traveling about with a hair brush and a bank
book. The men on board were very attentive,
on account of my wealth. One young man,
whose father boasted of a title, but who is a
second son. asked me if I would
marry him, and asked me also what
I would do with him if I did. I told himl
would put him to work, which had rather a
dampening effect. When this ceased to be
tunny, 1 told a man in confidence, that in
stead of being an American heiress, I was, in
short, a beggar; tbat my health being bad, a
few benevolent societies had raised enough
money to send me on a long trip, hoping that I
would benefit by it. This news he spread
about tbe boat, and for several days
I was left in peace, while tbe young men
stayed away and regretted tbat they had
spent so much time on a penniless American
girl. Making a few pleasant and congenial ac
quaintances on the boat, I told them of tbe ob
ject of my trip, and it was not long until every
body on tbo boat knew where I was going and
what I was going to do.
THROUGH THE ORIENT.
The Fair Toorlst's Impressions of Egypt
and India Tho Only Really Se
rious Delay Encountered
on the Trip.
The Suez canal Miss BIy says,
looks like nothing else than a mammoth
ditch, the sand being dug out and
thrown to either side. She adds:
It took us 21 hours to pass through the canal,
tbe boat being allowed to travel at the rate of
only six miles an hour, because a rapid
rate of speed washes down the high
banks. The next morning we anchored in
the bay facing Fort Ismalia, and got a
glimpse of a palace once occupied by the
Khedive. As we continued our voyage tbe
heat became intense, the hot sun, beating on
tbe sandbanks making existence almost
unendurable on tne Doau .native people
rushed along the banks, calling after
us "Backscbeechs," which means money. This
was often thrown tbem by the passengers, but
they rushed on after us, not being able to find
the coins, still crying in a plaintive voice "Back
scheecb." A fashion note is given from the other end
of the canal as follows:
The bleach craze bas extended as far as
Aden, and seized upon the fancy of the
Bomanlis. A common thing with them is to
bleach tbe black wool which covers their heads.
Thoy do tins by covering the head
with lime, and allowing it to stay there
several davs. When once off. the wool is no
longer black, but yellow, or in many cases a
beautiful tint of red. Somehow it was very
amusing to see these people, whose bodies do
not look much out of the way, merely because
they are black, going around with yellow and
red heads.
FIEST SEBIOT73 DELAY.
At Colombo the first serious delay stared
the little voyager in the face. She says:
Tbe idea of a five days' wait for a connecting
boat was not pleasant, but I utilized this time
in seeing the beauties ot Colombo, which come
np to all that has. been said of them.
I visited famous Kandy. where I
saw temples and a most wonderful
botanical garden. The temples of Colombo
were seen, and 1 enjoyed my first ride in a jin
ricksha, which are small cars drawn by one and
sometimes two men. Tbe most beautiful pict
ure in Colombo was the Oalleface drive, near
tbe sea. Tbe temples were most interesting.and
the priests at the temples the best beggars in
trie world.-
Started again on her journey, she notes
her next stopping' place:
We arrived at the picturesque city of Singa
pore on tbe 18th of December, and having a
few hours to spare there, visited tbe gardens,
the museums, the temples, and other
Eoints of interest. Some people even
ere could speak English. I saw tbe first
Chinaman and. a Chinese funeral, which was
very interesting. Daring the voyage from Sing
apore to Hong Kong, we had the monsoon
against us, but the Oriental, which was making
its first trip to China, and. was try
ing to make a record, fought it bravely,
and I reached Hong Kong two days ahead of
my Itinerary December 23. Here was another
five days wait before I could leave for Yoko
hama. European citizens were very good to
me, and tbe newspapers were most kind in
mentioning my trip.
CHBISTMA3 IN CHINA.
Christmas Day I spent in Canton, China, eat
ing my lunch in the Temple of the Dead, where
there are hundreds of bodies, some of which
have been lying in caskets for 75 years. While
eating my dinner in company with two gentle
men and a Chinese guide, the priests were
chanting masses in a room opposite, for the re
pose of recently departed souls.
When onr vessel got into Yokohoroa I was
waited upon by a representative of a Japanese
paper. He presented me with copies of the
paper containing a translation of the story of
my visit to Jules Verne, and also an account of
my trip around the world. He interviewed me
in a very amusing way, having all the questions
written down on paper beforehand in English,
which be read over and filled in as I replied.
He was a Japanese, but spoke English very
well. He presented me with copies of tbe
paper containing the interview, which I have
brought home with me as a treasured
souvenir.
The trip across the Pacific was very tem
pestuous. In the first three days they were
110 miles ahead of tbe Oceanic's last record,
when she Droke the record; but all this and
more were lost when they struck the bead
winds, which stayed with them the greater
part of five days.
HERR M0STIN JAIL.
The Anarchist of Anarchists Now Traveling;
Under tho Name of John Mneller In
Trouble Acnln for an Offense
Committed Long; Ago.
rsrscur. txuco&uc to thx dispatch, l
New Yoek, January 25. Anarchist
John Most was brought to police headquar
ters at 9 o'clock this morning and locked up
in a cell. Inspector Byrne's detectives had
been scouring this city and Brooklyn for
him during the night, and he was finally
found leaving the house of Mrs. Hoffman,
who was on his bail bond, at 67 Seventh
street, at 8 A. si. Most said to-day that many
months ago he got sick and tired of the
name Most, and became John Mueller. He
did not want to be John Most again, and
never would, were it not for the fact that
court made him. All over the eastside in
the wine stores that he frequented Most is
known as John Mueller. Most said:
I don't really believe there will be any diffi
culty in my getting out of here on Monday.
I would have been liberated this afternoon, if
all tbe judges had not gone home, and
I do not care enough about it to have
my lawyers and friends follow them there,
even if 1 was sure that the Judges would go to
the tronble of accepting my bonds in their
own time. I have not any idea at
all tbat this sentence will be finally sus
tained. Judge Cowing, of bis own volition,
suspended the sentence and liberated me.
upon my giving bonds. The citizens were un
duly excited then. Do you know I have begun
to think that if I were on trial for robbing a
bank tbere wouldn't be tbe slightest difficulty
in getting a jury to send me to prison. Yet
they say tbere is fair play among capitalists.
Howe & Hummel, Most's attorneys,
secured a writ of habeas corpus for the pro
duction of Most in the Supreme Court
on Monday. It is expected that Most
will be let go, pending his appeal to
the Court of Appeals. He will at once
shake Most and become John Mueller,
editor of tne Freiheit and a hard working,
highly respectable resident of Second ave
nue, near Twenty-sixth street, nntil the
Court of Appeals, should it be so disposed,
turns him into John Most again.
A SCHOOL FIGHT.
Protestants and Catholics Disagree as to
the Manner In Which a School
Should be Ban To he Set
tled In the Courts.
rSPECUI, TXLSQBAX TO TBS DISPlTCtl.t
Kingston, N. Y., January 25. Fot
some time past a bitter fight has been in
progress in School district No. 3, of this
city, between Catholics and Protestants, as
to how the school should be conducted. The
district is the largest and wealthiest in the
city. Within its limits are several large
corporations. St. Mary's Soman Catholic
Church rectory, and other parish buildings
are also within its confines.
For 20 years" or more the Catholics con
trolled the school, and during that period
one James McCabe was its principal. Two
years ago there was a general uprising
against the way the school was
being managed. It was charged
that the principal was incompetent.
Many of the more liberal Catholics sided
with the Protestants. McCabe was ousted,
and Prof. Robert Eadie, of Long Island
City, selected in nis stead. Since he assumed
control the school has prospered. At times
the attendance is so large tbat tbere is not
sufficient accommodation for the pupils.
It became necessary to hire a branch
school. A contract was yearly entered into
with the priest of St. Mary's church, for the
teaching of the extra pupils at the Francis
can brothers' school, which is taught on
sectarian principles. Of late there has been
strong opposition to this, and a demand
for tbe erection of an addition to the main
school bnilding. Several hundred people
gathered at the schoolhouse to-night. Many
bitter statements were made.
The Protestants and the dissatisfied Cath
olics will appeal to the State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, and the matter
will be litigated.
BIGHTMARE FOE HINE DAIS.
A Missouri Girl Wbo Has Slept a Long,
Troubled Sleep.
rSFXCIAI. TELKOEAU TO THX D1SFATCH.1
Kansas City, Mo., January 25. There
is a sleeping girl at the home of a farmer
named Carpenter, six miles south of West
port, who has puzzled the attending
physicians and created a sensation in the
neighborhood. No case is recorded in
the history of the oldest practitioner in
Kansas City tbat is just like it. Her slum
ber is not like one in a peaceful
trance, but it is agitated like that of a
person in the nightmare. For the past
nine days she bas been plunged into this
strange somnolent condition, during which
she sometimes beats herself on the
head and breast and utters incoherent
exclamations. Chicken and beef broth is
poured down her throat when she opens her
mouth, and by this means she is kept alive.
The girl's name is Anna Parker, and she
has been working as a domestic in tbe fam
ily of Mr. Carpenter for over a year. She
has had fits of drowsiness before,
but none of tbem lasted as long as
this one. The attending physicians are
completely nonplussed, and it is expected
that the unnatural sleep will be followed by
death.
JDDGE LINCH LAST IEAE.
What tbe Contemptible Old Pcamp With a
Hnltrr Did In 1889.
Atlanta Constitution.
Judge Lynch was more active than the
regularly constituted courts last year. For
the United States at large there were 93
legal hangings during 1889. Against this
insignificant number Judge Lynch rolled
up a total ot 175. In the South 139 persons
met.their deaths at the hands of the lynch
ers. The Noith furnished 36 snch execu
tions. This is a very black record. It is a bad
one for the North, and a bad one for the
South. But it reflect? greater discredit upon
the courts. AVhen judges, juries and sher
iffs do their whole duty people do not think
about lynching.
In some exceptional cases Jndge Lynch
will always put in his work even in the
most orderly community. But such cases
are rare, and all lynchers should be prose
cuted to the full extent of the law. Where
they are concerned in the exceptional cases
alluded to they will never be harmed by a
jury of their peers.
AFTER SCOTS' TOTES.
Two Gubernatorial Gunners Attend
a Bobby Burns Banquet.
SOME TAFFY FOR THE SCOTCH
Distributed by Senator G. W. DelamateJ
and Secretary Stone.
GENEEAL HASTINGS WASN'T PBESE5T,
Bat He Sent t Substitute la the Person of CaBlibj
Campbell.
Two of the prominent Bepublican candii
dates for Governor of Pennsylvania at
tended a Bobby Burns banquet at Chester
last evening. Messrs. Delamater and Stona
were the two gentlemen. They took occa
sion to compliment the Scots present, and
gave them all sorts of taffy. General Has
tings wasn't present, but sent a substitute.
Philadelphia, January 25. State)
Senator George Wallace Delamater and!
Secretary o'f the Commonwealth Charles W.
Stone went down to Chester this evening to)
aid the Bobert Burns Club, of that place, to
celebrate the birthday of Scotland's favorite;
poet, and at the same time to show tho
'canny" Scots what kind of material they
make Governors of in Pennsylvania,
General D. H. Hastings was down
to be tbere also, but tig
handsome Adjutant General failed to mate
rialize, and he not only missed a chance to
say nice, sweet things about the Scotch
lassies born in Chester, but failed to prova
his Scotch lineage, like the others attempted
to do. Tbe Adjutant General sent a letter,
however, and rather made up for not being
present by someone connected with the affair,
substituting a genuine Campbell on the list
of speakers in his place.
BEAT THE BECOBD.
The Burns Society of Chester has been)
celebrating the birth of the poet for 11
years, and to-night's event was the biggest
they ever had. It took place in Star Hall,
which was profusely decorated with Ameri
can flags turned over Scottish flags. Over
the stage was the coat of arms of the club,
with the legends on it, "Wood Notes Wild'1
and "Better a Wee Bush Than Nae Bield.'1
This was right back of Secretary Stone, and!
it may have been by fate or design, but it
was there, and Secretary Stone seemed to
feel a little nervous under the last inscrip
tion.
The room was crowded with Scotchmen
Scotchmen's sons, with their wives and
pretty bonnie Scotch lassies and a Scotch
club from Philadelphia in kilts. The latter
were by no means forgotten, as every speaker
took occasion to say something sweet about
them.
Four large tables occupied the floor of tha
room, and at a filth, on the stage, were)
seated the President of tbe club and the diw
tinguished guests of the evening. Senator
Delamater was on the lelt of President
John McFayden and Secretary Stone on hi
right.
SOME OTHEB GUESTS.
At the table, in addition to these, werfl
Editor Harry Fiysinger, of the Delaware
County Democrat; Major J. B. T. Coates,
ex-Mayor John L. Forwood, State Senator
John B. Bobinson, Captain James Camp
bell, General Hastings' representative; Bev.
Thomas McCauley, D. D., and Adam O.
Harper. Before the supper a Scotch song
was sung, several selections read from
Burns, and a few tnnes from a bag-pipa
played. Then the toasts were commenced,
State Senator John B. Bobinson told of tha
virtues ot Burns, after which Sen
ator Delamater patriotically talked
about tbe "Land we Live In." He said
that he was in America, and therefore was
pleased to respond to the toast, for man
reasons. He was glad to be at the dinner.
Though he did not have one drop of Scotch
blood in his veins, he wanted the clnb to
know that his middle name was Wallace,
and that his son's first name was Scott. Ha
told the clnb what he thought of tho
virtues of Scott and Burns, and how he es
teemed their works over all others.
TAFFY FOE THE GIBLS.
Mr. Delamater said that it was his delight
that the glory of this country was not in iti
physical development, but in its mercantile,
manufacturing and business interests.
Another thing about the country, it was tha
country where a man could be independent,
and where he was a man for all that. Here a
man has the opportunity to educate himself
and become great, and where woman also
had the opportunity to enter nearly every
business that the other sex did. He paid s
high tribute to the young women present,
and then gave way to the singing of tht
"Star Spangled Banner."
After speeches by Captain James Camp
bell on "Onr National Guard," Dr. J. L
Forward on "Highland Marv," Adam O.
Harper on the "Lassies," Editor Frysinger
on the "Press," and Mayor Coates on tha
"City of Chester," Secretary Stone made a
few remarks, as he was down on tbe pro
gramme. After a few complimentary re
marks to the other speakers in general, and
his rival, Senator Delamater, in particular,
he said that he did not claim to have anv
Scotch blood in him. He had been at Irish,
dinners, New England banquets, and near
ly every other nation. At all of them ha
rould claim lineage, but at this he could
not.
SCOTCH BY PEOXY OJTLY.
The sneaker was proud, however, that ha
had children who, if they were ever at an
occasion of this kind, could claim Scotch
descent. He admired Bnrns more in his
public character than otherwise. "There ia
one thing that I believe in Burns," said tha
speaker. "It was his independence and
respect for himself. When the disposition)
was in England to crush out of existence)
everything that was Scotch, Bobert Burns had
the manliness and courage to resent English
snobbery, and preserve to his people tha
sweet idioms and thoughts of their language.
He stood by them and inspired their cour
age and taught tbem how to honor and lova
their country." The Secretary delivered a,
beautiful peroration upon Burns, and in
conclusion remembered the Scotch lassies
present.
Joseph Addison Thompson, editor of tha
Chester Neva, made the bit of the evening;
in his humorous references to the attempts!
of nearly all the speakers to prove they wera
good Scots, and said be was afraid that they
would be apt to do the same thing at an
assemblage of representatives from any other
nation. Tbe anniversary closed with singing
and recitation.
