C., says : The coast of Acheen has been haunted for six months by a band of native pirates who in frequent encounters, even with Euro- peans, have shown themselves to have courage as well as cunning. - Their operations reached a climax on August 4, when the private steamer of the Chinese Consul at Pening fell into their hands, 24 men aboard being murdered, 15 seriously injured and $20,000 falling into the hands of the lawless horde. Particulars received by the steamship Em- press of China this ait: moon are as follows: The Helmsm: Cut Down. ‘The Consul’s steamer left Telop, Femawe, July 31, at 5 o'clock, and three days later one of a gang of twelve Chinamen who em- | barked as passengers went on the bridge and asked the man at the wheel if they were then passing Fing Pang Olim. Recelv- ling an affirmative answer, a Chinaman, who was armed witha klewang, instantly cut the helmsman down, and Mr. Alexander, of Brooklyn, standing near, shared the same fate immediately afterward. ‘A Chinaman then took the helm and tried to shift head toward the shore, where she grounded shortly afterward. A General Massacre. A general massacre along the ship's deck followed, passengers and crew being indis- criminately slaughtered. Captain Wood, who had been lying down In the cabin, came up on sounds of the disturbance reaching him, and was attacked and mortally wound- ed. He seems to have had just sufficient strength to regain the deck and lock the door. Chief Engineer Anchant, fortunately for him, was in the engine room when a China- man called for him to come up. Having heard the cries of “Orang amok” he was in no hurry to comply, but removed the engine room ladder and extinguished the lights. Second Officer Baptist had a narrow escape. He owed his salvation to his presence of mind. He was sleeping when the massacre commenced, and awoke to see his servant killed. He put out the lights in his cabin nd opened the door, keeping quiet in the dar! Helped Themselves to C The Chinese afterward rushed through | the saloon, killing as they went, and help- ing themselves to cash only, securing about $20,000 In American money. Then they quit- ted the vessel in two of the ship's boats, taking with them some of the passengers, @ Japanese, two Chinese and two American women. Finding the ship deserted Anchant came out of the engine room and fired two rock- |ets and then proposed that he and some | others proceed In the remaining ship's boat | to secure assistance of men-of-war. | No sooner, however, was the boat lowered than about ‘eighteen of the passengers who had escaped the murderons assaults of the pirates and were afraid of being left behind, rushed into it, causing the boat to sink, with the result that all were drowned. The Chinese Keturn. The Dutch gunboat Madura, which had ” | sighted signals of distress raised by the R. K. Atjeh, came up and sent men to take charge of the vessel. ‘Shortly after the gun boat steamed away, having rescued the per- sons aboard, the Chinese returned, drunk with wine, to renew the work of plunder, Dut met with such a reception from the blus jackets that they retreated in haste with a loss of ten of their number. ‘The steamer Graap Van Ryland, bound | trom Edie to Telck, stood-by at noon on the following day and received a portion of the Atjeh’s cargo, the balance of which ts now | being discharged In lighters, so that the ship may get off with next spring tide. |The Dutch warship Is on the track of these pirates and will inflict quick and decis- ive punishment. The Chinese were regarded m | with suspicion when they came aboard and were searched without result for weapons. It ts now understood that weapons were smuggled aboard by a Chinese woman, who carried a holster and bedding which were not overhauled. Mate Alexa: ler. coming to his captain's rescue, was slashed with a kris and died on the spot. Captain Wood's body was found in his cabin chair when the door of his room was forced by the gunboat's officers. His body and that of the mate were taken to sea and given burial by officers of the Madura. bs =see- Maryland Day at the Fair. ‘The board of managers for Maryland have arranged the following program of cere- monies for Maryland day, September 12, the Chicago fair: numer aya Prayer, by His Eminence, James Gibbons, cardinal archbishop of Baltimore; introdue- tion—Frank Brown, governor of Maryland; oration—Hon.

Oollege Boys Beginning to Arrive For the New Session. Big Freights Coming Down the Canal —The Potomacs’ Latest Hop—Want High Street Widened. ‘The college boys have begun to arrive and things are looking more life like about the buildings. Great strides will be made in athletics this year. Father Harlan, who has charge of that branch, says so, and he has demonstrated in the past that he is most capable of leading a crowd of willing ones to the very front rank. There ts hardly a doubt but that the, for some time contemplated, big gymnasium will this year secure a financial foothold and be pushed forward. It is the idea of the heads of the college to have this bulld- ing erected and equipped by the alumnt. Many of the most wealthy of the gradu- ates have tendered their financial support to the project and in fact success is almost already assured. The building and equip- ments are estimated to cost between $30,- 00d and $35,000. Potomacs’ Dance. The Potomacs last night added to their season's social triumphs. It was next to the best of the summer dances and an at- tendance select and of comfortable propor- tions was present. September 22 will close the series. Some of those present last night were, Mr. W.

Young King's Funeral. Young Harry W. King, who was killed through a collision with Tenleytown electric car No. 9 on Tuesday afternoon last, was yesterday laid to rest .His late home, 3017 M street, was thronged at the funeral with friends who came to pay their sad respects. Floral offerings were numerous and beau- tiful. Deceased was a deservedly popular young man, his friends being almost count- “Want the Street Widenea. The High street property holders between M and the bend near N streets, have peti- tioned the Commissioners to widen the road- way of their thoroughfare between these points to correspond with the square below. ‘The tracks of Tenleytown Railroad Com- pany take up the better part of this road- way and ordinary vehicles are often jammed against the curbs. As the sidewalks along this section are particularly wide the road- way’s width can be increased without detriment to the pedestrians’ portion of the street.

Popular Father Chester has left George- town College, of which he was treasurer, to begin his work in the mission vorps, whose boundary lies along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida, and Father Duncan is now in charge of the financial affairs of the college. Mr. John W. Dougiass has returned from Kennebec county, Me., where the summer was spent. His journey from Georgetown to the great ice state was made by horse and buggy, twenty-two days being con- sumed in making the trip. The return was made by rail. Miss Lena Barnes and Miss Hobgood have returned from the fair after a ten days’ stay. Next week Miss Barnes leaves for Westminster College, Maryland, to com- plete her studies. The United States consul to Nassau, in the Bahamas, Is the guest of his brother- in-law, Admiral A. W. Weaver. The receipts of the Georgetown custom house for the past week were unusually small. Five small boys were arrested yesterday for trespassing, they having been caught by an officer in one of Mr. Geo. T.

Under the regular permit system side- walks are being laid in the subdivided Cooke Park. —— ANACOSTIA, The post office matter {s not settled. Talk of deals and combinations fills the air. All candidates are on the war-path. It is said that a petition is in circlation to have the post office, under the new regime, continued at or near its present location. Postmaster George F. Pyles called on Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Max- well a day or so ago and made suggestions to this effect. Said suggestions were re- ceived with favor. The higher postal of- ficial intimated to the reporter for The Star that he thought Mr. Pyles’ point was well taken. It is reasonably certain that the office will be conducted near its present site. The rivalry between Tolson and Eno is intense. Fowier is an unknown quantity, but it is said that when he knows that hii case is forlorn, he will cast his strength to Eno. Mrs. J. K. Howard of Hillsdale ts with friends at Baltimore. Miss Rose Graham of Port Deposit is visiting relatives here. Dr. C. H. Weiss is convalescent.

The board of construction reported that it would cost $679,000 to build a vessel similar to the Hartford, but they belleved that the Hart- ford could be made as good as new for $200,- less than that sum. The rebullding of the vessel was authorized by the last naval appropriation bill, leaving ft discretionary with the Secretary of the Navy to build a Trew vessel or to reconstruct the old.

TESTIFIED FOR GUITEAU. The Expert Who Declared the Assassin Was Insane. Dr. E. C. Spitska, Who Became U: pleasantly Con: a at the Fa- mous Trial—His Present Opinions, lew Twelve years ago Dr. Edward C. Spitzka of New York occupied a very prominent, if unpleasant, place before the public. He was then a young man, and comparatively unknown, though in certain circles he had already made a name for himself as a specialist in nervous diseases and an expert in the matter of insanity. He was a wit- ness for the defense in the Guiteau trial, and took the ground, along with Dr. Kter- nan, that the accused man was insane and irresponsible. This made him anything but @ popular man, and for a long time he was the subject of much abuse for what he had done. Now, a dozen years later, he comes back to Washington as one of the best known members of the section of diseases of the nervous system and of the mind in the great Pan-American medical congress now in session in this city. Apart from the prominent part he played in one of the reat tragedies of the nation, he is a man of interesting personality, a ready speaker and a man of culture. A Star reporter call- ed upon him at his hotel yesterday after- noon and had a long and pleasant remi- niscent chat about the details of that great murder trial and the incidents that led to his own connection with it. Much of what he said was matter that has never been made public before. “I am glad to have my side of the matter printed in The Star,” said Dr. Spitzka, “for Washington was the place where I’ first came before the public eye, and inasmuch as it was not in a pleasant manner at all it now seems like a case of poetic justice that I should have a chance to give the Teasons for the attitude I took then tn the columns of The Star, a paper that so fully reported all that I had to say at the time. I do not know that I have acted wisely In keeping quiet for so long, but I will tell you all about it now. His First Impressions of Guiteau. “When the assassination of President Garfield occurred there were so many doc- uments introduced that I came to the con- clusion that there was serious doubt as to the sanity of Guiteau. There was an edi- torial printed in a medical review at the time dealing with the question of Guiteau's sanity that was so ignoramus-like, if I may use the phrase, that I considered it my duty to science to write a scientific cor- rection of the statements there made. I was as far from seeking notoriety then as now, and I signed my article ‘Philalethus.’ “Prot. Francis Hastings Hamilton, who treated’ President Garfield, had a kindly feeling toward me, and he recommended me as an expert medical witness for the counsel for the government. Judge Porter called on me and approached me in New York with reference to the matter. I felt then, as a young and poor man and only known through the medium of a few prize essays, very much flattered by such an offer from a man who seemed to be both a scholar and a gentleman. “I soon came to the opinion that I had been mistaken on both counts, for he w blushingly told me that no medical witness would be called who would not commit him- self to the statement, in advance, that Gulteau was not only responsible, but of sound mind, aside from the question of re- sponsibility. I told Judge Porter that I had knowledge of so many collateral facts that they justified me in cautioning him that I might, on examination of Gulteau, find him to be of unsound mind; that I would never testify in a case without a personal ex- amination, and that the alternatives of the side that employed me would be elther to accept my report or not to have my evi- dence at all. He said that his instructions were such that he regretted not being able to comply with my conditions. Subpoensed by Mrs. Scoville. “a month or so after that I recetved a subpoena from Mr. Scoville,Guiteau’s broth- er-in-law and counsel, to appear a8 a wit- ness for the defense. As I knew perfectly well how unpopular an attitude a man might have to take if he found the prisoner insane, I wrote, rather in?'snantly, ing Mr. Scoville what he meant by sending a subpoena to a man who had not ex- pressed an official opinion about Guiteau, had never known him, and never examined him, and had already declined to oxamine him on behalf of the government. I re- ceived a very courteous response, an apolo- gy, in fact, and forgot all about the trial as far as I was personally concerned until I received a note containing these words: ‘Owing to the great stress under which I labor in defending Guiteau, and honestly believing him to be insane, and knowing from several sources as well as from your general reputation that when once conv'nc- ed of the truth, and compelled to testify, no matter how reluctantly, you will have the courage of your scientific convictions, I shall have an attachment issued against your person unless you signify your inten tion of attending voluntarily.’ This was af- ter the defense had begun. I paid no fur- ther attention to the matter, for I did not suppose I could be compelled to go to Washington under compulsory process. All this that I am telling you now has never been made public before, though it has been known to some people, of course. “I was very reluctant to go,and as It turn- ed out my professional practice received a hard blow for six months for the testimony I gave on the stand. There was a reaction in the end that proved once more that it 1s the best plan to tell the truth, regardless of everything else. Tried to Avoid Testifying. ‘In order to avoid having to come to Washington, I went off on Long Island to visit a friend and to hunt hares for the first time in my life. One day on returning to his house I learned from his wife that a United States deputy marshal had called there, and had been inquiring in Hicksville for me. This was the first intimation I had that* they were really in earnest in trying to find me. To avoid arrest I went in a carriage to a station farther from the place where I was stopping, but when I reached the New York ferry I found from the afternoon papers that the marshais had been to my office. Even then I could have eluded them, but my wife was 80 much worried by these men that I packed my things to leave for Washington. I went to the house of a friend of mine, and he said to me: ‘Spitzka, if you are sure af- ter examining Guiteau that he 1s insane, go right ahead. Refuse to testify. Make them compel you to, and then be perfectly fearless.” “I remember I arrived in Washington on @ Friday. Court had adjourned over Sat- urday and Sunday, and during those three days I was shadowed constantly by a de- tectiva. He followed me everywhere. I was a young man then, and I led him a merry chase. It did not’ occur to me, how- ever, until I was on the witness stand and being subjected to cross-examination that their object in shadowing me this way was to try to get me into some compromising position that they might use as fit matter for cross-examination to show what man- ner of man I was. No one ever had great- er occasion than I had to be thankful to the teachings of his parents never to g0 Into any place where he would be ashamed to be seen in daylight. ‘Mr. Scoville called on me at the Tremont House. He said that the defense could com- pel me to testify. He gave me the testi- mony of the other physicians for the de- fense, and I found that it was all hypo- thetical, and rather than testify hypotheti- cally, I preferred, if compelled to testify, to examine the prisoner first.’ His Preseat Opinton. Dr. Spitzka after recalling some of the scenes that occurred during his long cross- examination went on to say: “After these digressions, I may state briefly what my vresent opinion concerning Guiteau's mentat state is. “Early in life Guiteau showed signs of de- fective brain development, learning to speak many years later than ordinary children, and being unable to pronounce certain sound combinations, even after he had learned to speak. During his youth he showed that vacillating, wandering ten- dency so characteristic of those constitu- by tion, ‘Originaere Verrueckthelt’ ht have assumed any of several phases after he reached adult life, according to the complexion of his sur- roundings. His marriage schemes, his pla- tonic distant admiration of women whom he did not know, and whom he took no steps to enter into any reasonable correspond- ence with, savor strongly of the erotic mon- omania of the French. His religious re- formatory schemes, his exaltation on the scaffold, and his early display of what Dr. Rige called a pseudo-religious feeling— though toward the close of his career I think it burst out in that full blown fixed delusion which it was impossible to deter- mine the existence of during the time of the trial—correspond to the symptoms of so-called theomania, the group in which Dr. E. C. Mann locates him. Finally, his political and social aspirations, his finan- cial business schemes place him among the sufferers from systemized megalomanta. I think that with the extensive record of Guiteau’s life, his documents, his career after his conviction, and the manner in which he took his departure, as well as his hereditary antecedents, there can be very little doubt in any impartial, competent and truth-seeking mind, that’ these were evidences of a disordered brain action. Tt is hardly necessary for me, in the face of my testimony given at the trial, to add that I do not consider Guiteau as a homi- ¢idal lunatic, whatever that may mean. The assassination was an episodical de- velopment of an insanity which was not impulsive tn tts character. I do not think that Guiteau had any imperative concep- tions; as to hallucinations, I am not so cer- tain. His so-called ‘dream’ related to me, and corroborated by him in court while I was referring to it in my testimony, !f it was not an hallucination, bore the same relation to the subsequently developing as- Pirations to the presidency in 18@ that the hallucinations of delusional insanity some- times bear to subsequent delusions, He dreamede as he claimed, that he was hold- ing a reception at the presidential mansion, that {t was an immense affair, and that the crowd extended miles and miles away. Who will not recognize in this dream a re- of the pride Guiteau took Jail receptions?” pias ———— THE BUCKEYSTOWN TRAGEDY. Jesse Anderson Shot in Cold Blood by William Leonard. Special lence of The Evening Star. BUCKEYSTOWN, FREDERICK CO., M4., September 6, 1893. ‘The deliberate murder of Jesse Anderson at Lime Kiln, a small place only a short distance from here, yesterday, created any amount of talk throughout this section of the country and the action of Anderson's fellow workmen in Igtting the murderer walk away unmolested was commented upon unfavorably by those who were acquainted with the fdets. This afternoon the funeral of the victim took place in the little village of Lime Kiln and owing to the popularity of the deceased the Methodist Protestant Church, from where the funeral took place, was filled with persons from about the sur- rounding country. Rev. W. M. Strayer, Pastor of the church, delivered a feeling address on the life and character of the deceased, who was a member of the church in which his dead body then lay. The body was taken to Frederick for interment. Jesse Anderson, who was a man not thirty years old, had’ been married about five years and he leaves a wife and two small children. He was a repair hand on the railroad track and had been tn the com- pany’s employ. Being a man of temperate habits and a steady worker, he had gained for himself a position in society of which he must have been justly proud. No one Suspected that Anderson had any enemies, and even now it is quite certain that Will- jam Leonard was about the only man who would have harmed him. Leonard lived in Baltimore, but had been employed in the Buckeystown canning fac- tory. He slept in a shanty somewhere in the neighborhood of the town, and had galled to see his brother-in-law, Mr. M. G. Hardy, a telegraph operator, whose home is in Lime Kiln. It is reported that Leon- ard’s conduct gave the people of Lime Kiln the impression that he was too fond of the “flowing bowl,” and his brother-in-law had told him that’ he ought to conduct himself in a more orderly manner. Stories had been circulated about his actions in Lime Kiln and Mr. Hardy so told him. Leonard want- ed to know who had been talking about him and Anderson's name was mentioned as being one of the persons who had done some of the talking. The Baltimorean evidently concluded at that time that he would take the man’s Mife, and yesterday morning he started out to do the bloody work. Arming himself with a shot gun he went to Lime Kiln in search of the man who was a stranger to him. The first place where he stopped was in front of the modest looking little home of Anderson, and a knock on the door brought out the woman who was soon after- ward made a widow by the pulling of the trigger of an old musket. uoges Jesse Anderson live here?” asked. he answered the little woman. is he at home?” Not now; he’s at work down the track.” Down the track went the man with the gun. He had said he was going squirrel hunting, but he was man hunting instead. A short distance down the rallroad track he met the workmen and Jesse Anderson was one of the number. “Is your name Jesse Anderson?” he asked of several of the men, and receiving negative responses each time he walked down to the far end of the gang, and there he met his victim. “What is your name?” he asked him, “Jesse Anderson,” was the response. ‘Have you got a pistol? Tam very sory,” said Leonard, calmly, “but I have got to kill you,” and pulling the trigger of the musket he sent a load of lead into Anderson's side. The wound was fatal and the wounded man grabbed the musket. He grappled with Leonard for a short time and then fell to the xronnd. Although there were several railroad men near by the murderer walked coolly away, and surrendered only after being advised to do 80. “What had I better do?” was the ques- tion he asked a citizen. “Give yourself up and go to jail,” was the advice the latter gave him. “If you run away and get caught it will mean that the case will be disposed of out of court, and if you surrender you will be tried in the regular wa Thanking the other, he walked into Buckeystown and there, in the same calm manner that had characterized the shoot- ing, he told of what he had done and was placed under arrest by Deputy Constable Dutrow. Rall was fixed at $1,000 when the case was taken before Magistrate Eckstein in Fred- erick, and the hearing would have taken place yesterday had not the unfortunate victim passed away last evening. Before he died, however, the state’s attorney took his deposition, which will be used at the trial of the case. ‘The inquest was held in the church from where the funeral took place yestenlay, and the verdict of the coroner's jury was “that a certain William Leonard felo- niously, voluntarily and of malice afore- thought did shoot the said Jesse Anderson, and that the said Jesse Anderson came to his death from a gunshot wound at the hands of the sald William Leonard.” Just after the shooting the murderer spoke of the affair in a jocular manner, ying, “He's not the first man T've killed. but when he was informed of the death of his victim he became uneasy, and Jeclured that whisky was the cause of the affair, at the same time saying he did not intend to kill the man. ‘The case will probably be tried at the present term of the court. Now that the victim is buried and his slayer jailed, the people are becoming somewhat excited over the affair, and ru- mors of a determination to have “Judwe Lynch” settle the matter caused the put- ting on of an extra guard at the jall. “There is intense excitement over the murder in Buckeystown and vicinity,” says the Frederick News, but The Stars cor- respondent failed to’ find any evidencs of excitement. The canning factory was run- ning as usual, and one man found on the road said he heard that the court wouldn't try the case. He was the only person found about the place who even gave any intimation that the citizens contemplated taking the law in their own hands. already stated, the prisoner belongs in Baltimore. His wife died about three months ago, leaving three children, one of whom is at Lime Kiln with Mr. Hardy's family. Leonard is 49 years old. —_.—__ A Submarine Torpedo Boa: If the Secretary of the Navy approves the report of a board of ordnance officers the Holland submarine torpedo boat will be adopted as a type for the navy and the vessel of this kind authorized by the last Congress will be built on the plans recom- mended.

Senators Voorhees and Hale Have a Lively Tilt, Mr. Du Bois Also Takes a Hand, and the Conversation is Decidedly Crisp Pointed. ‘There was a lively discussion in the Sen- ate after 3:30 yesterday afternoon. An at- tempt was made about that time to go into executive session to consider confirmations, ‘This action would have ended the silver de- bate for the day, Mr. Voorhees expressed the hope that the Senate would not break off the consideration of the repeal bill so early in the day. He said that if there was no Senator desiring to speak he would ask a vote on the bill. Thereupon Mr. Hale took the floor to ex- press the hope that the Senator from In- diana would not consent to an early ad- journment of the session. He then pro- ceeded to urge Mr. Voorhees to press for- ward earnestly for a vote on the bill, and to express his dissatisfaction that so much time was being wasted and to call attention to the fact that the republicans were an- xlous to facilitate the business and were not wasting time. He suggested that the Senator from Indiana was doing about tl best he knew how, but that it was a matter of regret that he was not able to manage matters better. He thought the Senate should meet earlier and sit later each day, and he was sorry the Senator had aban- doned the proposition to meet at 11 o'clock. The manner and evident intent of these remarks angered Mr. Voorhees, who re- plied sharply, and the rest of the session was taken up in a sharp tilt between Sena- tors. Mr. Voorhees said that the zeal of the Senator from Maine had been manifested very early in the session. His desire to assist the Senator from Indiana was deeply appreciated. It would be more appreciated, however, if the Senator from Maine had been In ‘his seat more than one of the six weeks of the session. He desired to say to that Senator and to all concerned that the Senator from Indiana expected to dis- charge his duty as he understood it, and in a way for which he would answer to the country, and not to the Senator from Maine, or to that side of the chamber—“nor to this side either,” he added, “so far as individu- ality is concerned, but to myself and to the people whom I represent on this floor. The Senator from Maine has taken a monopoly of criticism of my action. He has taken a monopely of direction, of lecturing, of dictation (if I may use such a term).” A democratic Senator suggested “nag- ging” and Mr. Voorhees adopted it. Nagging—he repeated—yes. The whole country Knows that the Senator from Indi- ana occupies a trying position. There are men of fong tried friendship on this side of the chamber not concurring with me in my views or in my course, and the result is that I am doing, what’ we will all be re- quired to say we did when we come to sum up our life results, the best that I know. I have been harried br the Senator from Maine to an extent which strains the limits of forbearance. He wanted action the next day after the President's message was read. He wanted the finance committee to report @ bill the next day and to bring it to an immediate vote. That was an utter impos- sibility—an absurdity, and the Senator knew it. The tirade this afternoon is for no other Purpose than to advertise to the public that there is a keen desire for action on that side of the chamber and for delay on this le. There is no delay that it is possible to avold. The Senator from Maine used the terms “drive,” “domineer,” “control.” It is known that these words do not pertain to this place. The word “control” has no mean- ing so far as the action of this great body is concerned. The term “drive” is as dis- Placed and offensive as possible. The term “domineer” is still more so. We are a Senate of equals, and I propose to treat every Senator as my peer on this floor, giving him his entire rights: and at the end of proper discussion, I shall expect every Senator to recognize the propriety of ceasing discussion and proceeding to vote.” Sharp Talk. Mr. Hale disclaimed any intention of giv- ing offense to the Senator from Indiana. He did not really think that that Senator felt the indignation which he manifested. It was only in the interest of helping him that he had made the suggestion. “I have had quite a surfeit of that kind of help from that source,” Mr. Voorhees exclaimed angrily. “I cannot be accountable for the Senator's feelings,” Mr. Hale retorted. “I am only attempting to assist the Senator and do not want to make his position any more difi- cult than {t ts. T appreciate fully the difti- culties under which he lies; but he ought not to be so sensitive about suggestions from this side.” “Let the Senator,” said Mr. Voorhees angrily, “please select some other subject for discussion the next time that he talks than about my management of this bil “I think,” Mr. Hale replied, “ that the Senator 1s doing the best he knows how; doing it faithfully and ably.” I cannot return the compliment—Mr. Voorhees snapped back—I cannot say that the Senator from Maine is doing the best he can; if he were, he would take his seat. That ‘of course is an easy jibe, said Mr. Hale; and any Senator can at any time make it upon another. But the time has not yet come when a Senator on this side of the chamber cannot rise in the public interest and express himself freely without being sneered down by attacks like that of the Senator from Indiana. I spoke not only for myself, but for other republican Senators; no such attack shall prevent us whenever we see fit to speak and speak freely, and not be subjected to retorts of the kind which the Senator from Indiana has made, and which he will not be proud of tomorrow. For the Public. Mr. Voorhees—I will take care of myself when other Senators may desire to assail me. And now I desire to say a word for the public. Anxious as I am to press this matter to a vote and having pressed it to the utmost limit, until I thought I had strained the boundaries of patience, and until, in deference to the wishes of Senators I withdrew the resolution for 11 o'clock ses- sions (which I would have been glad to have had adopted) it 1s some consolation to my mind that the public business of the country 1s discounting the passage of this bill. Prosperity is reviving. The times are not so strained—not so hard—since the House has passed the bill, and with the knowledge that the Senate will pass tt. In a little time it will be behind us and al- ready there is a revival all over the country, which is some compensation for the last four or five weeks of strain and toll which we have undergone. Mr. DuBouts (Idaho) remarked that the Senator from Maine did not represent all the republican Senators. Mr. Hale said he had only spoken for the republican Senators who were in favor of repeal. Mr. DuBois said it seemed dificult for the Senator from Maine to reaiize that re- publicans had lost control of the Senate. ‘That the Senator was very importunate for early and late, and continuous sessions of the Senate, and was very uneasy to have the Senate doing something all the time. He had come back from somewhere last Friday to tell the country sometiing. and that was the first time that the country knew he was in he Senate chamber during this session. The Senator said he had been here, but he (Mr. DuBois) bad supposed that he was In Maine. Mr. Teller Ends It. Mr. Teller (Col.) said that there had been no unnecessary delay in the debate. He had never since he had been in zhe Senate known a debate upon so great a subject taken up and pressed along so rapidly as this debate had been. He intended to speak on the bill tomorrow, and he presum- ed that his speech would occupy as long a time as the Senate would like to sit on a Saturday. If the Senator from Maine would remain in the chamber and attend to the debate, he would know a great deal more on the subject than he knew now. ‘The question was a big one—too big for the Senator from Maine to attempt to get a little party advantage out over the Sena- tor from Indiana. There was not a Senator present who did not know that that was the real motive of the lecture which the Senator from Indiana had got from the Senator from Maine. ‘This closing incident of the day’s session was rounded off by a little passage between Mr. Aldrich (R. I.) and Mr. Stewart over the demonetization act of I87, and when that was finished the Senate went into ex- ecutive session, and afterward adjourned. 9 Hawalian Affairs, Mr. Albert S. Willis, the newly-appointed minister to Hawail; Mr. Ellis Mills, the new consul general’ to that country, and ex-Minister Blount had a conference with Secretary Gresham on Hawaiian affairs at the State Department yesterday afternoon While Mr. Blount’s official connection with the government had ceased he will continue to take part in the counsels of the Presi- dent and Secretary Gresham on the Hawa- ian question. His official report has been made to the Secretary of State and with the opinions of Secretary Gresham is now be- fore the President. A mensage to Congress on the subject from the President may be expected in about two weeks. IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS. “No; Billingsgate no longer possesses the characteristics which have made its name & synonym for low vulg:rity. He spoke as one with authority, as well he might, for he was the common council- man from the Billingsgate ward in the cor- poration of London. Mr. Edward Jex, who is now at the Met- Fopolitan, ts @ peculiarly interesting man. His luxuriant beard and heavy eyebrows sive him a decided Kris Kingle appearance, except that time seems to have dealt more gently with him than with the patron saint of childhood. He is the commercial Izaak Walton of his country, as no man throughout the united kingdom fs regarded as higher au- thority on fisheries and kindred in- dustries. He is the owner or part owner of sixty-two sailing vessels and twenty steamers, employing six hundred men, all engaged in the fisheries. He was the chairman of one of the chief commit- tees of the great fisheries exhibition held in London in 1883, at which time Capt. J. W. Collins of the Smithsonian Institute was one of his secretaries. He was the first chairman of the Fish Trade Association of London, and is now a member of the execu- tive committee of the National Sea Fisher- les Protective Association. A few weeks ago he was called before a committee of the house of commons and gave them some valuable information on the fisheries. In short, he is an authority on piscatorial af- fairs ‘in general. After supporting his assertion that the Proverbial characteristics of Billingszate ad been changed by relating an amusing incident to the effect that one of his em- Ployes in Billingsgate on hearing a fruit merchant swear actually reproved him, he went on to state his business in this coun- try and to throw out some valuable sug- gestions as to the legislation needed by the American fisheries. He ts traveling through America for the purpose of informing him- self on the fish industries in general. He carries with him a warm letter from the lord mayor of London, commending him to the courtesy of the American people. He was the guest of Mayor Stuart of Philadel- phia during his stay in that city and was shown every attention by Mayor Gilroy in New York. Mr. Jex is much impressed with America and American institutions and cannot find words to express his appreciation of the cordiality with which he has received by the American people. He thinks, how- ever, that we need suitable legislation for the protection of our fisheries—a law pre- venting the sale of fish under a certain size. “In a few years,” said he, “many species will be extinct, Just as is practically. the case now with the buffalo on the western plains. Millions and millions of fish are caught on your coasts every year before they have time to spawn. Immediately steps should be taken to stop this. As an example, the sole could once be bought in the markets of London at four or six pence @ pound. You now pay two shillings. I am pleased to find so many people in this country of the same mind as myself in regard to the protection of American fisheries and I hope that some salutary steps may be taken at an early date in that direction. “I also find that the fish markets of this country are dangerously constructed. That is to say, the flooring is of. three-inch planks, in which all kinds of disease may germinate, and if cholera ever visits your shores this fact will be largely responsible.” He brought this matter particularly to the attention of Mayor Gilroy in New York the other day. Mr. Jex has been elected counc!iman from tke Billingsgate district for seven- teen consecutive years and as no man can hold that office if he has ever repudiated an obligation or paid less than twenty shil- lings in the pound, his integrity and busi- Rene capacity cannot be Glecounted. ym Vashington he goes to cago, San Francisco, British Columbia, possibly Vancouver and then home by way of Tor- onto and Montreal, reaching London early in October. “ “There is a story in connection with Joe Jefferson and Richard Mansfield which has never been in print,” said the genial Ed. Cake, at the Normandie, in conversation with The Star man, “and, apropos of the orening of the theatrical season, it may be ta” “When Mansfield returned to this country a few months ago he brought with him a ‘gentleman's gentleman’ of the true Eng- Msh type—a masterpiece among Mortimers, so to speak. Mansfield stopped here, and one day went to bis room leaving ‘word that he was ‘not in." A goodly number of the holpolloi came to see him, but were given to understand that he was not in. “After awhile, however, Joe Jefferson came and asked that his card be sent up to Mansfield. I knew that Mansfield would be at home to him, so I directed the bell boy to take up his card. “The zealous ‘gentleman’s gentleman’ was on the alert, however, and stopping the bell boy took Jefferson's card and came down stairs to see him himself. The valet evidently was not well posted in the roster of theatrical celebrates, however. “Approaching the great actor with a very self-sufficient air, he asked, ‘Is there any- thing I can do om vor ““No,’ replied Jefferson, with consider- able dignity. it something about getting a place?” inquired the valet. “That was too much for Jefferson—‘get- ting a place, indeed'"—so he said, sharply. fea! ¥ou take that card to Mr. Mans- lela timatt Mansfield ts not in,’ persisted Mor- mer. “Jefferson turned to me with indignation in every lineament of his expressive coun- tenance and said: lease see that Mr. Mansfield gets that card,’ and turning on his heel, went out. “It was an affront which Jefferson could never forget, and the breach has never been healed.” Capt. Evan P. Howell, editor of the At- lanta Constitution is @ free coinage plat- form democrat from Dan to Beersheba. His paper has never missed an opportunity to Support the cause with the best ability at its command. He was in Washington shortly after the repeal bill passed the House and, as the captain is a celebrated raconteur, he had a story for the occasion. “Yes, we are beaten,” said he. “But there's no use in grieving. There was @ circuit rider down in Georgia whose field of labor lay in the back country. One morn- ing he rode up to the house of an old lady, and, sitting on his horse, entered into con- versation with her. “There was a cur dog of a very persis- tent bark and every evidence of a pretty good bite. He snapped and snarled at the circuit rider's feet for some time and re- fused to be comforted. “Finally the old lady said: ““Mister, you had better get down and let him bite you a little, and then he'll be satisfied.” “I think,” said the captain, “that we had better let these administration fellows bite us a little and then maybe they'll be sat- isfied.”” “It won't do to be too sure of your own infallibility,” said a newspaper man the other day. ‘Now, here's an instance.” And he picked up a copy of a well-known morning paper. “The man who wrote this column”—in- dicating it—“had a story sometime since which was very amusing at the expense of what he termed ‘a fresh young reporter, telling how he addressed Senator Mander- son as ‘Mr.’ Manderson and then asked him where he was from. “Now, look here.”” And in the same column the sot-disant critic had referred to Gen. Gordon as the Senator from Alabama and had slipped up on the initials of one of the most distin- guished editors in America. Mr. J. E. Dart of Brunswick, Ga., who is stopping at the Metropolitan, is seeking governmental aid to relieve the destitute and suffering of that stricken city. Mr. Dart is superintendent of the board of pub- lic works of Brunswick, and was col'ector of customs there under the first Cleveland administration. “The condition of affairs in our city is deplorable,” he said this morning. “If we had yellow fever, we bave none now, but the effect of the scare has been to depopulate the city and put a stop to all business. Out of a population of 10,- 000 fully 6,000 have left, only those remain- ing who are too poor to leave. My people have sent me to Washington to ask the government for aid. Absolute destitution is on every hand, and starvation stares many in the face. No man, whatever his capability, can secure employment, for all business is suspended. Of the population remaining in the city the majority sre negroes, and trouble will certainly ensue if the actual suffering of this class is not relieved. Provision houses will be broken into and robbery and even arson will reign. I understand there is a standing appropria- tion of the national government for the re- Nef of communities suffering from epi- demics, but we are met with the statement that the officials here construe this as »p- plicable only where disease is prevalent. This may deprive us of any ald from that fund, If so we shall be forced to appeal to the country for help, for we are utterly unable to ameliorate the condition of the | sideration will be given to the lighter ‘coun! large number who are already suffering for the necessities of life.” Mr. Dart, with Senator Colquitt and Rep- will today call upon Tesentative Turner, Attorney General Olney and Secretary Car- lisle for a conference as to the nower of the government to relieve the situation. Mr. C. S. Hearn, who is @ candidate for the postmastership of Quincy, IL, was chatting in the lobby of Willard’s -rith sev- eral of the Iiinois Congressmen and peti- ticians.
