He has declared his in- tention to be a factor in the United States senatorial fight next year, and he will leave undone nothing in his power to defeat his op- ponents, This feeling is reciprocal, and those who are opposed to him and who support Senator Lamoure in his charges of bribery and corruption swear that they will permit him to have nothing to say in political manage- ment if they can prevent him, The interesting featare of the situation is the unbroken silence of M.N. Johnson, the Seandinavian candidate for the United States Senate, who claims to have refused a $10,000 appointment and $25,000 in cash offered him | by one of the factions, presumably for the votes of his friends, during the contest.

HISTORIC INFLUENZAS. Epidemics of Sneezes in Other Lands and Years. From the New York Worid. Although the fact may not be a reassuring one to the citizens of this country, itis recorded that in the epidemic of 1847-8 abroad the pro- portion of victims was one-quarter of the entire population and one-half in Paris. It is stated that the disease often attacks dogs, cats, cows and horses as well as humanity, The present epidemic originated in the Balkan countries and quickly reached Russia, where 40 per cent of the population has been sneezing. A singu- lur feature is that adults are almost uniformly the only victims and in Europe school children escaped, while their teachers were afilicted, gration Commissioner Starr said yester- athe had the disease when Tyler was udent of the United States.

From His Article in the Jewellers’ Weekly. I went fishing in Wisconsin last August and, fearful that harm might befall my gold watch if I took it with me, I bought a Waterbury watch for 2.50 and wore it. One day I dropped it in the bottom of the boat and it came all apart, with a succession of terrifying reports. I never before saw so symmetrical a case of in- stautaneous and complete dissolution. The larger intestine spread ali over the bottom of the boat and curled up over the starboard side. | As it lay quivering and groaning there I fan- cied fora moment that I had slipped a mon- ster eel or some other kind of mariue reptile. Itowed the debris ashore and showed it toa doctor from Racine (Dr. Davis, a scicntilic man of profound rescarcii), and he has assured me, after critical examination and analysis, that the intestine of the Waterbury watch closely resembled the human bowels, beiug provided With a secum, a colon, @ sigmoid flexure and ail that sort of thing. Some years ago Lhada great deal of quict fun with a watch of my own devising. I had Giles Brothers of this city put a stif spring into a large, hollow, silver watch case. When- ever I turned the stem the spring would make 4 noise loud enough to be heard 30 feet away. J used to wind up this awful thing between acta at the theaters, and people wondered what kind of a watch it was, Occasionally I would let the watch drop on the floor: then I would pick at up nonchalantly and resume winding it. Event- ‘When Compared With Sullivan’s. Jake Kilrain, having appealed from the de- cision in his case and given bond, is spending a few days at Richburg, Miss., before going to New Orleans, The verdict was a compromise, the first eleven ballots being for conviction. Those who afterward voted for acquittal fancied the fine would only be #25 and no im- prisonment. Had they known there would be imprisonment attached they claim they would have “bung jury.” Kilrain, although looking in the best of health, says he is heartily sick of prize fighting and would henceforth devote himself to some legiti- mate business. In regard to his fight with Sullivan he said that he had hard luck with the referee and thinks the fight should have been awarded tohim, Sullivan, he said, deliberately jumped on him during the fight, and not by ac- cident, as claimed by the big pugilist. He in- uired if Sullivan was anyways disfigured after the fight, and when told that the Boston boy had a cut under his right eye he said: “Well, I am glad I left some mark an him, The general public, from what has been printed in the newspapers about the fight, are of the opinion that I tacnieod a sound drubbing. ell, [acknowledge that I got licked, but if I had received one-half of the blows said to have been given me I never would have needed to return to Purvis to stand trial. I consider that while my sentence isa hard one it is light as compared with Sullivan's.” BUSHIRI HANGE i The Foe of the Germans Put to Death. Bushiri, the noted Arab who led the insur- gents in their revolt, and who was captured by villagers of Mgailla and handed over to the Germans, has been hanged. He was the prime mover in the revolt on the Zannibar coast of Africa that has lasted about fifteen months, and has cost the German government a snug sum of money to suppress it, The ostensible eause of the revolt was that the Germans were in- vaders, who had hauled down the eultan of Zanzibar’s flag and run up their own on the sultan’s territory, The fact that the coast traders, among whom Bushiri wasa leading spirit, feared that the Germans would take the trade into their own hands, had more to do with the uprising than patriotic sentiment. A year ago last September Bushiri wrote: Ve have no quarrel with any foreigners ex- ceptthe Germans; but we are at war with them and will fight them to the end, becaus they want to take our kingdom.” Bushiri was aired man, Years old, with more , OF coust native, than Arab blood in ins, He was not a fanatic and religions questions had nothing to do with the uprising. He was a prosperous trader in Pangani when the trouble began. He was a blood relation of ‘ous Tippu Tib, He inflamed the peo- long 300 miles of coast and a bitter Struggle resulted, From 4,000 to 6,000 rebels defended some of the towns which the Ger- mans attacked. The trouble with the rebels was that they had no weapons that were fit for use in a war with Europeans. “I have no can- non,” said Bushiri, “and I cannot fight against | cannon, Let the Germans come out of their houses and away from the protection of their cannon and we shall see.” When he lost the greater part of his army he went 200 miles into the interior last summer, and by holding out promises of plunder induced several thousand Matite warriors to start for the coast. The utter rout of these savages a little way inland | is one of the last successes of the German arms, Bishop Smithies, when he was attacked in November, last year, by Bushiri’s followers ngani says the leader of the insurgents rotected him at the risk of his own life. Jushiri stood in the doorway of the honse where the bishop had taken refuge and told the mob they could not enter unless they killed him first. Bushiri protected the caravans of the French mission and in many ways he has shown that he had no quarrel with any Europeans except the Germans. By putting Bushiri to death the Germans have destroyed the most potent influence against | them on the coast. The event probably means the total collapse of all opposition to the Ger- mans, who will now be able to adopt peaceable measures for the development of their new colony. ———+e+-______ Mrs. Stowe’s Keal Condition. The teports which have been sent out from Hartford. Conu., in regard to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s being demented are ludicrous, says the New York Tribune. There is just enough of fact to hang a plausible story of this sort upon, but nothing more. Mrs. Stowe is ix years of age and, like all persons nervous temperament when they reach such au age, is more or less broken down, physically and mentally, But to say that she is demented is to say what is not true. She is not at all times in the possession of her mental power to the extent of being able to write vigorously upon any topic, but some of the | letters she has written in the past few months show a strength not to be despised, She de- lights in strolling about the neighborhood when the weather is fine, aud she frequents the green house of Mr. Clements, who. lives but a few doors away, where she will pass hours looking at the flowers and singing, but any word will immediately bring her back to complete self-possession, She is simply broken down, “childish,” to use the accepted term to apply to an oid person’s declining years. She is carefully cared for by her two twin daughters, who reside with her, and her property interests are in the hands of her son, the Rev. Charles E. Stowe, who is now in Florida for the purpose of disposing of ber property at Mandarin, —————— 784 Miles on a Cattle Train.

From the New York Sun, With the hundred and one blockades which occur daily on Broadway it is doubtful if there was ever amore complicated one than that which occurred yesterday afternoon near Ve- sey street. The cause of the blockade was at last fixed upon a little three-inch mouse, whose antics in the deep mud amused a lot of drivers and passers by for some five or ten minutes, He was first discovered on the sidewalk by two district messenger boys, who gave chase. The extraordinary sight of two runuing messenger oy8, for ho apparent cause, was too much for the passers by, aud when the boys stopped on the edge of the curb and gazed intently at a small object in the road people immediately congregated around them to inquire the cause, As truck drivers espied the object of amuse- ment they drew up to see the fun,and soon it was impossible for even a hand cart to get by. A big Broadway policeman killed the mouse with his club and traftic was resumed. One Hatfield to Hang.

Exciting Interview, Murderer Bartholomew met his paramour in the latter's cell yesterday at Easton, Pa. Mrs. Dilliard was, to some extent, unconcerned, though the interview was stormy. As the con- victed murderer entered the cell of his accom- plice he exclaimed: “Margaret, I came for you to tell me when and where I made arrangements with you to kill your husband?” She then told him the time was two weeks before the tragedy and the place her kitchen, and that two nights before the crime he came and removed the nipple from her husband's gun, so that if Bartholo- mew failed in his aim from behind the cherry tree,where he was to stand when Dilliard came out to see what disturbed the chickens, Dilliard would be without means of defense. He then asked her if she saw him shoot, and she replied “No, but I knew you were to be there accord- ing to your own plan,” Bartholomew then called Mrs, Dilliard a liar, Jumping to her feet Mrs. Dilliard returned the lie and raised her fist to strike her paramour in the face when the war- den stepped between them. Bartholomew then caught Mrs, Dilliard’s hands in his, and, with a smile, said, “Now, Margaret, can you look me square in the face and say I killed your husband?” “Yes, Ican, andi dare you to deny it,” rephed the woman, as she stared him in the face. She said, looking him square in the eyes: “You know you killed my hus- band: why don’t you confess, as I have done, and repent for your crime and wicked life?” INDIAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION. Gen. Morgan Outlines His Scheme of Indian Education. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, “The only requirements for teachers are physical vigor, ability to teach and good moral character, The planI have sketched out can be putin force inone year or extended over five. It aims todoon a large scale what has been already so successfully accomplished on @ smail-scale.” With such words Gen. Thomas J, Morgan, commissioner of Indian affairs, brought a very lucid explanation of his Indian education scheme to aélose. The occasion was the an- nual meeting of the Indian rights association, held last evening in the lecture room of Holy Trinity, Dr. James E. Rhoades presiding. Gen. Morgan's plan merely reduces to a proper sys- tem the few spasmodic attempts previously made in the same direction. The only difficul- ties in the way are difficulties of administra- tion. The first cost uf the scheme would be $2,000,000 and after that an annual appropria- tion of $3,000,000 would enuble it to be success- fully carried out and the Indian problem solved.

The only thing that would keep the British Columbia fleet trom going to Behring sea next spring would be stringent orders from either the British or Canadian governments, which it is not expected will be issued, ‘There is every indication that the question will be satistac- torily settled before it is time for the sealers to start for the north iu May next. The captains of the Canadian vessels say that as an indica- tion that no great oppression was intended they have but to point to the fact that the sealing grounds in Behring sea were entirely avoided by the United States cruisers, Had they visited them they could not possibly have got out of making arrests or seizures. The British government has not been idle, but has been pressing the matter of settlement upen the authorities at Washington with much more ardor than they have been credited with, = pars elicats Probable Suicide at Frederick. The strange woman from Washington who died suddenly at Frederick, as stated ina dis- patch to Tue Star yesterday, was apparently forty-five years of age, of stout build, weighing probably 200 pounds, well dressed, with dark hair, turning slightly gray, a mole on her face, and not unprepossessing in appearance. She registered at the City Hotel as Miss Lizzie King, Rochester, N. Y. She ordered her supper sent to her room, and directed that her break- fast also be sent up at 9 o'clock this morning. One of the hotel domestics kuoc! at the door of her room yesterday morniny but received no response, In the belief that she was still asleep the proprietor suggested that she be not disturbed until later, About 11 o'clock one of the servants looked over the transom and saw the gas still burning and the lady lying dead on the floor, Coroner Thos. Turuer and States Attorney Kichelberger were at once notified, anda brief investigation was made by those oificials, resulting in no inquest being deemed necessary. Mr. Eichelberger expressed the belief thiat sle had died of apopiexy. It is the opinion of others, however, that she committed suicide, inasmuch as two small bottles which had contained laudanum were found empty in | her room, About $75 was tound in her pock« t | book, but no papers that would lead to her identification, ‘Telegrams were sent to the chief of police at Rochester. butno response has been received, The lady had with her only a small valise, She was an entire stranger, and did not indicate in auy way the object of her coming to Frederick. ses Was Browning a Hebrew? One of that large class of persons in England who have nothing to do but to write to the newspapers asks the question, “Was Browsing a Jew?” The Pall Mall Gazette shoulders the burden, and says the question was submitted by one of the best-known literary men, who was on terms of close acquaintanceship with Browning for forty years, Lhe Gazelle adds: “For a score of years and more it has been stated with no little ‘persistence and circumstantial evi- deuce, such as it is, has been brought to bear out the statement. ' In the first place the fact that his uncle occupied « position of courider- able importance at Roths- wilds’ is looked upon “The first symptoms were sudden faintness, chill and marked prostration. Then succeeded headache and a general feeling of malaise, fol- lowed by acute coryza, pharyngitis and slight laryngitis, winding up with’ bronchitis, Tem- perature from 100 to 105. An examination showed the patients to be xbout as sick as per- sons with a bad cold, using handkerchiefs freely, voice thick and nasal, considerable angina and congestion of the mucous membrane of the nose and eyes. The duration of the attack was two days and upward, two of the family having resumed work, while the first one attacked is yet confined to the house. “The patients state that the catarrhal symp- toms are nothing in comparison with the great feeling of prostration, &c. The young lady first attacked states that she has suffered from hay fever, but hus never had an attack that could be compared in severity with the present one, If the disease in question is intiuenza if is of a very mild type, especially as far as the catarrhal symptoms are concerned, The symptoms tha poiut the most to influenza are those of the on- set and those referable to the system generally.” oo Scarcity of Corn and Oysters. A letter from Dunnsville, Essex county, Va., to the Richmond Dispatch, says: “In a radiu, of half a mile of this place there are twenty- six families, white and colored, out of twenty- nine now buying corn for daily consumption, and there is none for sale. The largest farmers among us are buyers, and the proposition to send to Bultimore and buy « cargois now pend- ing, but the trouble is the people mostly and pressingly in need of corn have no money or anything else to send to aid in making up the The merchants here heretofore have ly to supply the home demand but ship alittle corn, Itisnotso now. Upon inquiry of the four stores now here I find there are not fifty bushels of corn among them. Per- sons who depend upon their daily labor to sup- ply their families with corn are in a strait, and their only ope is that the merchants will order a stock of corn or meal. One family of ten, depending entirely upon the father’s daily work at 40 cents per day, and he working upoa an average of three days in the week, haven’+ a grain of cornu, nor is this wn exception. If the winter shall be such as to preclude out-door work help or starvation must come. The oyster trade used to be considerable from and about Ware's wharf, and was the main source of reve- nue to a host of colored men, but the fine rocks — Russell's, Lowery’s, Webb's and Young’s—this latter yielding the finest oysters to be had on the Rappahanuock—are all aban- don Not an oyster to be caught above Bowler’s Rock, and there they are scarce, Such as are to be had here are brought up the river a distance of some miles, Oysters that were considered dear ut 25 cente per bushel now readily briag 50 cen wehul (u the Baltimore Sun, motor company held its adjourned annual mectinug, at which 35,079 shares were represented, By wrenching the by-laws from their obvious maning, which required a ma- jority of ail the stock to constitute a quorum, those present weut on with the business and elected « board of directors wholly favorable to Mr. Keely. Mr. Keely presented a long report, reviewing the pr dings since the date of the last annual meeting, in December, 1887. He explains how his work was paralyzed during the last year by legal proccediugs, again de- clares that he has discovered a new force in nature aud prom.ses as usual that in a short time he will be ready to operate. He also de- clares that he has submitted his dissected ma- chine to four scientists, who have given it their indorsemeut, He recommends various changes i the by-laws and the reorgumzation of the company. with the help of a committee of slockndldace. He says that the commercial su ‘softhe motor is assured, but gives no definite information about it, nor does he now fix a date when it is to be completed or vx- hibited, ———- see Married in Her Grandmother’s Dress, A large and fashionable audicnce was pres- ent Monday evening at St. Paul’s Protestant Episcopal church in Chester, Pa., to witness the marriage of Hazelton Mirkil and Mary Schaffer. The bride wore the wedding dress in which her grandmother was married eighty- five years ago. The dress was of white silk brocade, trimmed with rare old lace, The slveves were puffed in the form of a star and caught with small bows of dlicate white crepe. A broad white silk sash tied close under the arms fell grace:u.ly to the edge of the skirt. ‘The bride’s only ornaments were a large silver comb, which fastened her hair, anda uecklace of silver beads, ag prima facie evidence, as in those days the elder Rothschild preferred to give positions of exceptional trust to men of his own faith, Aguin, the christian, or, rather, first name of Browning's uncte was Rouben and his mother’s name Was Sariana, both of them cognomens of undoubted Jewish origin, while the name of Bruning is said to be not uncommon among Jews. Again, one of the favorite topics of tho poct was the Israclitish character, as will be readily recalled by all students of his work. Ou the other hand Dr. Purnivall has declared Robert Browning's family to be of Dorsetshire origin.” The Hog Island Oyster War Ended. The Hog Island oyster war has come to a summary end. The investigation reveals that Mr. Lewis leased from the state oyster tlate for which he paid the state 25 cents an acre, and for which he received $100 an acre. He hag been making $30,000 a year from the Hi Isiand flats and would have made more if racy had been entirely suppressed. The ~ ginia legislature has promptly passed o bill an- ulling the lease and declaring the Hog Island money open water. It was ‘shown, that the state had no right to lease the , an it did not belong to it.
