TO ELECY SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE. Representatives Bryan and Enloe made an argument today before the committee on clec- tion of President and Vice President in favor of the proposition toamend the Constitution soas to provide for the election of Senators by the people.

Shields complained that he had been notified by the building in- spector that he was occupying the frame build- ing in the rear of his dwelling contrary to building regulations. This building, which is of frame, Mr. Shields says, was erected at the time his dwelling was completed and used at times for his horso and buggy. In reporting upon the letter of Mr. Shields | Inspector Ent@iste says that there is a condi- tion in the building regulations which makes i unlawful to erect any wooden building within the fire limits or to convert any existing wooden building into a stable. In controlling those structures where permits were issued for fuel shed he says many were found converted into stables. ‘The matter was sent to the attorney for the District for his report and today he submitted the same, holding that the jurisdiction of the inspector of buildings over he use of buildings such agare designated in the case above men- tioned ceases upon the delivery of the permit and the completicn of the building thereunder. Sue sc ‘That Inattentive Herdic Driver. To the Editor of The Fvening Star: A day or two ago I took occasion to complain through the columns of your paper of a flagrant case of inattention and neglect of duty on the part of the driver of a herdic, my complaint being occasioned by the deliberate and cul bie negligence of the driver in passing me by in the street when I had gignaled him to stop. My object in making the above affair public was for the bona fide purpose of, if possible, remedying an existing evil’ and not to visit an injustice upon an entire class of men, many of whom I am aware are efficient and ‘deserving, and all of whom beyond a shadow of doubt carn their money by dint of considerable hard labor. In your issue of terday, however, some party who signs himself “5. D. L.” seeks to undo the effect of my former communication and to destroy the ~— point. and spirit of my remarks. by —_consti- tuting himself the self-appointed champion of all berdie drivers, and attempting by a long- winded explanation and summary of the trying duties of herdic drivers in general to justify a particular driver im an offexse to whch he (S i e just what object ) Was not a witness. dificult to. cones ‘ “8. D. L.” could have had in interfering in this matier beyond a desire to does not concern him, but, howeve! be,I desire to reiterate my statements formerly made that the evil of which I complained was an actual oceurrence, witnessed by several per- sous and could uo: possibly have been con- strued by a person viewing the circumstance to be auything else than case of culpable negligence on the part of the driver of the coach. Mr. “S. D. L.” inflicts upon us a very touching a t of the “poor” many tals, bis manitold duties, &e.. and by this, av I said before, in effect attempts to ex- cuse him for any und all offenses which he may see fit to commit in ischarge of samé Mr. “8. D. L.” may, for ali know, have at one time or other been a herdie driver him- self, which in part will excuse him for his re markable and unlooked-for effusion, but all I can say is that if he did not make a’ betier ut- tempt at discharging the trying and distressing Guties of this office than the man who sat on the box of the carriage which I essayed to stop n the road is well rid of Mr. “S. D. 1.” . D. L.”” also etates that he hns resided on 5th street, on the line of the herdics, for the past six years, and during this period seems to [ave formed «very fiattering opinion of the consideration and efiiciency of the drivers of these vehicles. Though: this fact has no bearing upon the occurrence of which I complained in your Thursday afternoon's issue, allow me to state that I have resided on 15th street for the past fourteen years and have noticed many similar cases of violation of the rules of the herdic company, which provide that every driver sball Koep'a sharp outlook for. passen- gersand, uniess his coach is full, stop when signaled to from the street and not put an in- tending passenger to the alternative of cither walking to his destination or jump- ing onto the roof of the Coach. if “8. D. L.” has never seen any of these oc- currences then his optical development must be as defective as that of the individual at- tached to the herdic formerly mentioned, and, to use his own euphonious expression, he evi- dently did not “keep his celed. ‘The hyp js with which Mr. closes his remarks and the far-fetch which he advances in explanation of a driver's misdoings are of so absurd a character as to erdic driver's CHARGED WITH PEOFANITY.~ What Was the Cause of the Arrest of Most of Judge Kimball's Callers. One dozen prisoners were marched into Judge Kimball's court this morning and ar- raigned on charges of violations of the laws re- lating to the District, and each prisoner wanted a hearing. : One of them, an aged man, who was well dressed, gave his name as Alonzo Logan. The charge against him was profanity, and his rec- cilection of what occurred last night was so bad that he did not know how to plead. Policeman Eser stated the case, showing the defendant guilty of the charge. Logan, who said he was in the real estate business, lives not far from North Capitol and L streets, but last night after drinking some liquor he became be- wildered and went in the wrong direction when he started home. When he reached K street southwest he fell in the snow and was found by the officer. When taken into custody he used the language charged and the court charged him €5 for his fun. a . An old colored man from South Washington named James Lomax, was in line, accused of a imilar offense, and he gave the court to under- d that he didn’t use no “flame” language. ‘Twasn't nothin’ but a ‘scourse "twixt me an’ de ole woman,” hé said, “and in course de was some conterdiction.

John Jolinson, who was arrested with him, was also arraigned. ‘They said that they had ‘attended a fair, and while on their way home they stopped at 1ith and L streets and wore talking when they were arrested. The policeman said that the boys were disorderly and the judge fined them. The other prisoners ‘answered when their names were called and most of them were fined. aes On Trial for Murder. In the Criminal Court today Job Arthur Jobnson, a young colored man, was arraigned for the murder of Frederick Hipkins on Octo- ber 31 last.‘The assault took place neat the river, Hipkins having his throat cut with a knife. After the assault the wounded man mado his way uptown before being overcome by loss of blood. He was taken to Providence Hospital and died on November 15, Johnson is hardly more than a boy, and on being arraigned this morning pleaded not guilty. He had no law- yer to represent him and Judge Dradley as- Signed Messrs ‘Taylor and Uillyer as his counsel. John Thomas, alias Frederick Thomas, was arraigned on the charge of housebreaking, in both of which he pleaded not guilty. ————— Princeton Alumni Reunion.

I had been told that Mr. R. had seen an adjutant walk quietly along a wallto a sleeping cat, which it pierced with its beak, tossed up in the air and caught in its mouth. But T recently met Mr. R., and he teils me that he did not see the adjutant swallow the cat, but that his friend Mr. id that he had seen an adjutant pick up low a live kitten. Now. that y different thing and is more likely to be true than the story about the cat. For a kitten may be about the same size as arat,and I have often seen the adjutants catch and swal- low live rats. At the stables of the house of & friend of mine the natjve servants used almost every night to catch live rats in “aps.

One cf my old contemporaries in the old cul- lege of Fort William wai fined, although he had killed the adjutant in his father's garden, and his father was one of the judges of the chief court of justice. ‘There used to be a tradition that the British soldiers in the barracks ot Fort William once blew up an adjutant by inducing it to. swallow @ marrow bone in which there was a charge of gunpowder and a slow-burning fuse, but I hurdly believe it, A similar but perfectly true story was, how- ever, within my own cognizance, and it oc- curred at the Chinsurrah bartacks when | the old twenty-ninth regiment was quartered there. Tho soldiers, after their dinner, got two marrow bones and tied them together with a stout string about twenty yards long. The marrow bones were then thrown out separately to two expectant adjutauts. One bird seized and swallowed the bone and the other bird caught and got outside (as the Yankees say) of the other bone. The two birds then flew up toward their usual perches on the barrack roof, but as they flew apart the string tightened,’and as they pulled against one another and neither would part with his bone, they finally came flopping to the ground, to the great edification of the soldiers. When the two birds were on the ground there was a severe tug of war between them, until at last the string broke and each of them flew off triumphantly to digest the bone and the yards of string attached to it at leisure. been invited to this reunion, and President Patton and ex-President McCosh have ac- cepted invitations to be present and other distinguished guests will be invited.

From the Cape Cod Independent. While a gang of men from Sandwich were at work on Chamberlain & Son's cranberry bog recently one of the men, James Dalton, shovel- ing ina sand pit was thrown and buried to his shoulders by a sand slide ona face of sand some thirty feet high. In spite of very exact and emphatic warnings tht man was standing with his back tothe bank and his barrow between him and the exit. The falling sand buried the barrow aud the man’s right leg was bound fast over the left handle. The other bog hands ran to the rescuc, but aside from uncovering the barrow and delivering the man’s right leg, could not move him an inch. ‘The danger w: at more sand might slide and bury its vietim ve. for there were already cracks in the sand visible and one or two huge boulders which might come down any moment. ‘The boulders had just been disclosed by the sand slide, It was soou apparent that without more and wiser help the man would certainly perish by exhaustion or be smothered. ‘The aeighbors were aroused and, with that alacrity to help a perishing man so ereditablo and so common to Cape Cod folks, they were soon on hand. Mean- while the sand fissures above had widened, and with the pine trees on a mass of earth weighing tons the pit face might fall any moment. The man meanwhile was low down, almost on his face, and, as it seemed, immovable. Among the newcomers was Daniel Lee of the Beach, who afterward said he had once seen a man hurled in a well, and by common consent, as the only man who dared to have a plan where an error might cost the trapped man his life and perhaps the lives of others, he was allowed to direct. First of all he called for along plank. One was brought from the bog and carefully placed some three or four feet above the man, ‘below and between him and the sand. face and across the sand bank. Then he ordered planks to be kawed some five feet long and these to be aced upright ineide the horizontal plank and facing inaud toward the bank, anda man to hold each plank steady and to ‘stand to it if another slide came. He then ordered short oak and pine limbs to be cut and put in the sand above the upright line of planks, to catch and stop the sand which momentarily was sift- ing down. ‘The whole structure was then braced atench end by joist and plank, and served as a rude sort of shield. ‘Then, with the men holding the planks, the others tried to dig the man out. His left foot and lower tecui seemed held as in a vise. A shovelful of sand taken out seemed instantly replaced. by the sand sifting down from the hill. Hands were then used instead of shovels, and some stones under him removed. Lut it was slow, hideous work tor the strong- est nerved. And nowcame the crisis. The Tifted earth bank above, with the pine trees on it, was moving—was sliding down. A shout among the men to hoid fast—a secon’ or two of the terrible drift of earth—a second shout— and the deadly mass stood still. ‘The plank barrier so far had saved. But the man in peril had now been some four hours in # situation the peril of which he knew, not expecting, as he alterward told “the bors,” but thut hewas to be carried home in a box, and, though bear- ing up bravely, was very much exhausted. He must be released speedily or perish. Of all traps sand, under such conditions, is the most relentless we ever set eyes upon. Every at- tempt to pul! the man out failed. A new way was suggested by Dr, David Ellis. A strong rope from one of the bog screens was brought. A stray woman's shawl, left by some cranberry picker on the bog, was found and used to mufiie the sharpness of the rope against the man’s flesh in hauling. the rope was fas- tened tight under the shoulders, and then, as God willed, with strong men assisting and ‘the others holding at the plank barrier, and the sand hill settling down every moment, the man was pulled out of his sand grave—not a bone broken, not a scratch! He ‘even brought his shoes out with him. Stimulants were given him, the leg was wellrubbedand bathed, he was laid on a stretcher, carefully covered by mei coats,and in this fashion carried toa neighbor’ house and cared for. In the afternoon he walked back a half mile to the bog to sce the other men at work and wont down to Sandwich in the evening train. The place where the man lay four hours in peril was the next day coy- ered with four feet of sand. ——— e+ Pennsylvania Lowlands Flooded. | sent his adjutant to the terrible 1892-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE CZAR AND THE BISHOP. A Stalwart Prelate Who Would Not Obey the Orders of His Majesty. ‘From the New York Sun. Linked to the recent trial of the archbishop of Aix, whose name, with all due respect for ‘the good and pious prelate, is a staggerer for plain people on this side of the ocean, is an interesting bit of history which is traveling rapidly aud extensively in French type. Mg Gouthe-Soulard is now no longer the eccle: astical hero of the hour. The Russian Bishop Ambroise of Pensa has taken his place, although he flourished seventy years ago. Bishop Ambroise was an extraordinary man, renowned for the firmness of his character, the depth of his erudition and the narrowness of his views. The son of a simple deacon, he owed his elevation to his oratorical talent, his historical works and especially bis ascetic virtues. He lived in his episcopal palace with the austere habits that had enceared him to the people. He dressed like a simple peasant, lived ina cell in his palace and his principal diet consisted of cabbage aud. radishes. “In fact he fared like the poorest moujik, but for all that he had the strength of a giant. ‘His salary of 8,000 or 10,000 roubles he distribute among the poor, giving right and left, and never refusing charity to the hosts of beggars that always swarmed around him. In 1821 Alexander I announced that he in- tended to visit Pensa, but if he knew the re- ception that was in ‘store for him he would Lave tried some other town. The governor sent tho chief of police to the bishop to request him to clean his palace before thearrival of the czar. “All right,” the bishop said “I can get the mud in front of the place cleared away, but Where ean I hide your head and the governor's It would be useless to bury them in the ; the odor of your sections would still 8 were furious, but there wha no help for them; Ambroise was too powerful. When the czar arrived the governor gave orders to the archbishop tocome with all his clergy and receive the emperor at the front entrance to the cathedral, but that wan just what he would not do. He massed his clergy with all their banners ataside door on the southerr ide. To the remonstrauces of the governor be replied: “Iam the erchbiahop, and alone give orders here.” ‘The civil au- thorities were grouped at the front entrance, The czar, naturally enough, weat to the place where the banners were. There were some rather stecp steps in front of the ride door, andthe czar complained that his legs were weak and that he would prefer to enter the church through some other door. onsense!” the bishop exclaimed. “The weakness of your legs doesn’t prevent you from dancing. C Seizing him by the arm the powerful bishop yanked “his majesty up the steps At the! Uneckold the czar bent down to kiss the image that the priest presented to him, but to the utter astonishment of the crowd the bishop, still holding him by the arm, forced him 10 bow down almos: to the ground. The czar thought that was enough, so he again at- tempted tckiss the image. “No! three times!” said the bishop ‘The czar had to obey and bow twice more before he was permitied to kiss the holy image. That, however, was only tue beginning of his troubies. After’ having heard the Te Deum in the catcedral, the czar retired to the apart- ments that had beon carefully prepared for him by the governcr, and was about to enjoy his first nap when all the ch arenes burst out with a terzitic The bishop. ceccmpanied by his chup' mense crowd, ail chanting loud euough to take the roof off, presented himself before tue gov- ernor’s residence and announced his intention to purify the rooms occupied by the czar by spriukling them with holy water. Alexander I relate to tell and was un- him that lis majesty was fatigue: able to receive him. Youare the adjutant of the czar of this earth,” the bishop said, “but Iam the adjutant of the Czar of heaven. ‘The young man refused to admit him, and the mighty bishop grabbed him by the collar, tossed him back thirty fect in the rear and walked majestically into the ezar’s room. “Iwill have you arrested,” the governor shouted, in a furious rage. “There is not power enough in the whole world,” the bishop responded, “to arrest the erors of God.” Alexander had to submit. His rooms were thoroughly spriukled, after which he was com- elled to listen to an interminable sermon on the evils of seif-love and the passion for lux- ‘On leaving the emperor the archbishop proceeded once more to the cathedral for the evening office. At 10 o'clock the bells rang outa second time. ‘Then the czar sent word to the archbishop to stop the ringing of the bells for the third time, which was the old Russian custom, but Ambroise would not yield an inch. He was the adjutant of the Czar of heaven, and he wouid take no orders from a lesser poten- tate. So an hour later the bells began a dread- fui racket for the third time. ‘The next morning isis majesty had to review his troops, and, as Le wished to hear mass first, he dispatched his adjutant to the bishop with an order to celebrate mass at 6 o'clock and make the services as brief as possible. “Tell the czar,” Ambroise said to the adju- tant, “that service will be at7 o'clock, as usuul, and ‘that it will be neither longer nor shorter than usual, but strictly according to the laws of the chureh.” He kept his word. ‘The czar and his troops had to wait. Of course his majesty bad his re- venge. Ambroise was dismissed from his oflice and retired to a monastery; but that did not trouble him, for he had lived while archbishop like the poorest monk in all Rustia. Although Robinson Crusoe is a fictitious char- acter, the story that a thoroughly conscientious and religious man like Defce had not the slightest feeling at the time when this book was written that there was anything wrong in the slave trade. Kob- inson Crusoe nev presses the slightest re- gret for his complicity in it. He even makes a slave of Friday, and carries him about with him in Europe ‘and in America as his ¢lave, without the slightest idea that anything is wrong in such an affair. And this apparently was the condition of conscience of all the En- glish aud American people tor a century. When Phihp’s war came on the rage with the Indians was such that the Indian prisoners were sold as slaves to the West Indies. Philip's wite and child were thus sold and died as slaves there. It is quite possible that these transactions had something to do with the blunting of the feeling which undoubtedly existed as eafly as 1646. “However it may be, it is certain that before the end of the century the colony of Massachusetts was engaged, as all the other colonies were, in the trade with the African coast. It was not an important trade until the eighteenth century was well® ad- vances. ‘This business has becn abandoned between the Afcican and American coasts only within the present gencration. The last slave trader which sailed from Africa westward made her passage in the year 1864, or began to make it. ‘fhe grim reports made to the English admiralty by their officers on service in those seas is that abrig, name unknown, sailed in January on that horrid errand and was lost at sea. ‘This is the fit termination of exactly three centuries of this horrible iniquity. For it was in 1564 that Hawkins made his first successful slave-trading voyage. Be it remarked that Queen Elizabeth kniguted him for his success and gave him for his crest an enslaved negro with three gold bezants below. ‘To pay for the poor creatures, the principal articles sent from New England were ram ood iron. Nothing shows the indifference of the con- science of mercantile men, and everybody else, indeed, in this traffic, more than the fact which has been en gh out by Mr. Weeden that Peter Faneuil, the benefactor of Boston, for whom the cradlo of liberty is named, was’ en- gaged in this trade for many yearsbefore his death.

A Ghostly Combination That Haunts the Northern Pacific Engineers. From the Seattle Prese-Times. 2 Locomotive engineers are, as a class, said to be superstitious, but J. M. Pinckney, an engi- neer known to almost every brotherhood man, is an exception to the rule. He has never been able to believe the different stories told of ap- paritions euddenly appearing on the track, but he bad an experience last Sunday night on the Northern Pacific east-bound overland that made his hair stand on end. By the courtesy of the engincer, also a brotherhood man, Mr. Pinckney was riding on j the engine. They were recounting experiences, the fireman, who was a green band, was getting very nervous as he listened to the tales of wrecks and dicasiers, the horrors of which were graphically described by the veteran gincers. he night was clear and the rays from headlight flashed along the track, and, alti they were interested in spinving yarns, a eh lookout was kept, for they were rapidly neari: Eagle gorge, in the Cascades, the scene vf so many disasters and the place which 18 suid to be the most dangerous on the 2,500 mules of read. ‘The enginecr was relating @ story and | was just coming to the climax when Le sud denly grasped the throttle and in a moment had *thrown her ove reverted the engine. ‘The air brai plied and the train brought to a standstill within a few feet of the place shere Engineer Cypher met his death two years his time the passe: atter. and all sorts of questions wer the trainmen. ‘The engincer made an exeus that some of the machinery was loose, and in a few momcuts the train was speeding on to her destination. “What made you stop back there?” asked Pinckney. “I ‘heard your exeuse, but I bave run too long on the road uot to know that your excuse is not the truth.

We are often told by free traders that protec- tion would not really benefit the occupation of land in this country. It is, therefore, interest- ing to ascertain what the effect of protection on agriculture is when it is actually at work, and we have only to turn toa country in sight of our own shores to see this. France has adopted protection, not, perhaps, in quite so thorough form as prevails in the United States, but with such a tariff as certainly tends, if protective tarifs do tend either way, to de- velop the French indusiries. We b:ve the French agricultural statistics before us for 1890, and they are most interesting reading, for ‘they show us, as nothing else can show us, the practical effect of protection on agriculture. ‘The first and most striking result is the increase in the area of | wheat crops. Taking the hectaré at two acres— it is really more—there is an increase of be- tween 150,000 and 200,000 acres over the a’ age of ten falling off in the wheat area. What we veutu: toask is. Why is France daily adding to ber wheat area, while ours is decreasing? ‘The answer is,’ protection. Wheat growing in England does not pay: we, therefore, assume that wheat growing abroad does not pay. ‘This is, however, not so, and the case of France proves this. ‘Ihe more the question is studied the more one sees how admirably the Auti- Corn Law League did its work, bow the falla- cies of Cobden have been accepted as dogmas of political faith, ——_—_.so———— An Important Hint.
